<v Speaker 2>is when I'm in pain. So I'm gonna give you

0:01:10.120 --> 0:01:14.920
<v Speaker 2>a little present today before we even get into what

0:01:15.080 --> 0:01:17.679
<v Speaker 2>happened in the Chiefs Game, I'm just gonna set the

0:01:17.760 --> 0:01:21.959
<v Speaker 2>template for you. Got to Vegas middle of the night

0:01:22.000 --> 0:01:25.479
<v Speaker 2>Thursday night, Friday morning, played in one of the bigger

0:01:25.520 --> 0:01:28.440
<v Speaker 2>poker games I've ever played in in my life. On Friday,

0:01:28.840 --> 0:01:33.559
<v Speaker 2>put it on Instagram. Won a great deal of money,

0:01:34.160 --> 0:01:40.040
<v Speaker 2>was feeling great about it. Saturday played in that game

0:01:40.080 --> 0:01:45.720
<v Speaker 2>that had somehow gotten even bigger overnight, lost a little bit,

0:01:46.000 --> 0:01:50.480
<v Speaker 2>was still way ahead Sunday then rolls around. I'm in

0:01:50.560 --> 0:01:54.240
<v Speaker 2>Las Vegas. Remember, and I do believe I told you

0:01:54.280 --> 0:01:57.840
<v Speaker 2>guys that the Chiefs Bengals game was my game of

0:01:57.880 --> 0:02:01.240
<v Speaker 2>the year. Loved it more than a game on the

0:02:01.240 --> 0:02:04.520
<v Speaker 2>board all season. I also gave you guys six picks,

0:02:04.840 --> 0:02:09.840
<v Speaker 2>including the Prince that was promised, including the Falcons, including

0:02:09.880 --> 0:02:12.240
<v Speaker 2>the Colts plus ten and a half too many points.

0:02:12.440 --> 0:02:14.480
<v Speaker 2>Colts trying to tie the game up going into the

0:02:14.480 --> 0:02:17.800
<v Speaker 2>fourth quarter, they get outscored thirty three to nothing in

0:02:17.880 --> 0:02:21.760
<v Speaker 2>the fourth quarter, to which I tell you after the

0:02:21.800 --> 0:02:25.000
<v Speaker 2>morning slate didn't go great. I wasn't going to be

0:02:25.080 --> 0:02:29.440
<v Speaker 2>in the casino for the four pm Eastern games because

0:02:29.480 --> 0:02:33.880
<v Speaker 2>I was actually invited to the home of Doyle Brunson,

0:02:34.000 --> 0:02:37.440
<v Speaker 2>poker legend Texas. Dolly had me into his home to

0:02:37.480 --> 0:02:42.360
<v Speaker 2>watch these games, so I took I broke all my

0:02:42.440 --> 0:02:48.280
<v Speaker 2>gambling rules. Demonsey took all that poker prophet, everything we

0:02:48.400 --> 0:02:51.320
<v Speaker 2>had for the weekend, and said, you know what, this

0:02:51.400 --> 0:02:53.680
<v Speaker 2>is going to be a great day in my life.

0:02:53.800 --> 0:02:58.920
<v Speaker 2>I'm gonna win maybe my biggest sports bet ever, alongside

0:02:59.400 --> 0:03:03.959
<v Speaker 2>the biggest poker legend ever in his own home, Doyle Brunson.

0:03:05.360 --> 0:03:10.280
<v Speaker 2>And we got Chiefs minus two. And then the game started,

0:03:10.919 --> 0:03:12.760
<v Speaker 2>and you know what, the best bets all year have

0:03:12.840 --> 0:03:17.600
<v Speaker 2>been live Chiefs bets when they fall down big. So

0:03:19.120 --> 0:03:23.840
<v Speaker 2>they're down fourteen to three and I check, They're getting

0:03:23.880 --> 0:03:25.840
<v Speaker 2>three and a half Chiefs plus three and a half,

0:03:26.000 --> 0:03:28.919
<v Speaker 2>and I'm like, okay, my minus two is not looking great,

0:03:29.200 --> 0:03:30.799
<v Speaker 2>but I can get the Chiefs plus three and a

0:03:30.800 --> 0:03:33.000
<v Speaker 2>half right now. And I had a lot of money

0:03:33.040 --> 0:03:36.480
<v Speaker 2>in that online account from that parlay from a few

0:03:36.480 --> 0:03:41.080
<v Speaker 2>weeks ago, so I log in not able to use

0:03:41.120 --> 0:03:45.200
<v Speaker 2>it because I'm not in New York state. I'm in Vegas,

0:03:45.680 --> 0:03:48.560
<v Speaker 2>so I couldn't place the bet and the plus three

0:03:48.600 --> 0:03:52.360
<v Speaker 2>and a half would have hit. They lost by three,

0:03:52.760 --> 0:03:57.240
<v Speaker 2>So I am up I am upbeat. It was fun weekend,

0:03:57.960 --> 0:04:01.080
<v Speaker 2>saw a Gucci Man live in concert, you got to

0:04:01.080 --> 0:04:04.040
<v Speaker 2>hang out with Doyle Brunton played in a great poker game.

0:04:05.080 --> 0:04:05.600
<v Speaker 3>With all that.

0:04:05.680 --> 0:04:12.520
<v Speaker 2>Said, your little sister's school tuition monthly school tuition gets

0:04:12.680 --> 0:04:16.880
<v Speaker 2>auto withdrawn on the fifth of each month. And I'd

0:04:16.880 --> 0:04:18.880
<v Speaker 2>be lying to you if I didn't check the old

0:04:18.920 --> 0:04:21.480
<v Speaker 2>account this morning and figure out if I wasn't gonna

0:04:21.520 --> 0:04:25.640
<v Speaker 2>have to do a shadow, a fringe transfer from Demanse's

0:04:25.720 --> 0:04:30.839
<v Speaker 2>account to mine to cover the tuition before I could

0:04:30.880 --> 0:04:34.360
<v Speaker 2>replace it, hopefully without him knowing. I did that once

0:04:34.400 --> 0:04:36.960
<v Speaker 2>upon a time by accident, and then it really I

0:04:37.000 --> 0:04:38.840
<v Speaker 2>realized I was, like, you know, in an odd way,

0:04:39.360 --> 0:04:42.440
<v Speaker 2>Demonse's account is like my backstop if things ever go

0:04:42.640 --> 0:04:46.120
<v Speaker 2>really poorly. So that was my weekend. We'll get into

0:04:46.160 --> 0:04:49.160
<v Speaker 2>all the games here. First, let's talk about what missed

0:04:49.200 --> 0:04:52.600
<v Speaker 2>the cut. Here's what is not on today's show, College

0:04:52.600 --> 0:04:55.599
<v Speaker 2>Football Playoff set, and they got it right. Listen. I

0:04:55.720 --> 0:04:58.640
<v Speaker 2>wanted USC to be in there at four, and I

0:04:58.680 --> 0:05:03.159
<v Speaker 2>would have argued strongly that USC should not be penalized

0:05:03.440 --> 0:05:07.280
<v Speaker 2>for losing a conference championship game at Ohio State, which

0:05:07.279 --> 0:05:10.680
<v Speaker 2>didn't make their conference championship game getting in however, because

0:05:10.760 --> 0:05:14.279
<v Speaker 2>USC ended up getting dog walked at the end by Utah,

0:05:14.440 --> 0:05:16.760
<v Speaker 2>that game was in Vegas. By the way, I can't

0:05:16.839 --> 0:05:19.839
<v Speaker 2>argue at TCU deserved stay at three. The playoff committee

0:05:19.839 --> 0:05:22.320
<v Speaker 2>got it right. Oddly, this would have been a year

0:05:22.560 --> 0:05:26.000
<v Speaker 2>where we just needed the old BCS system. One versus two.

0:05:26.040 --> 0:05:28.600
<v Speaker 2>Georgia and Michigan have nothing to prove but to play

0:05:28.640 --> 0:05:31.400
<v Speaker 2>each other. They're the only undefeated teams. Don't worry about it.

0:05:31.440 --> 0:05:34.120
<v Speaker 2>Brown's win. Deshaun Watson looks like a guy who hasn't

0:05:34.120 --> 0:05:36.800
<v Speaker 2>played in two years. Will continue to monitor that story.

0:05:36.920 --> 0:05:40.920
<v Speaker 2>And Dion Sanders I went to I went to Mississippi

0:05:41.080 --> 0:05:44.320
<v Speaker 2>or Memphis this year to watch Deon Coach in the

0:05:44.360 --> 0:05:49.040
<v Speaker 2>Heritage Classic. If you remember Dion going to Colorado. We

0:05:49.160 --> 0:05:54.400
<v Speaker 2>might have a guest appearance by my wife, Demonsey's mom

0:05:54.839 --> 0:05:58.960
<v Speaker 2>on Thursday to briefly give a take on Dion leaving

0:05:59.040 --> 0:06:02.680
<v Speaker 2>Jackson State Jackson, Mississippi, where Danielle lived for a little bit,

0:06:03.839 --> 0:06:06.479
<v Speaker 2>because she has I think the best take of anyone

0:06:06.560 --> 0:06:08.479
<v Speaker 2>I've heard on it. None of that is on the

0:06:08.480 --> 0:06:11.599
<v Speaker 2>show today, though. We're gonna start with and by the way,

0:06:11.880 --> 0:06:15.760
<v Speaker 2>is stop buying the chat ask some questions. We'll get

0:06:15.760 --> 0:06:17.640
<v Speaker 2>to him later in the show. A reminder we wrap

0:06:17.720 --> 0:06:21.520
<v Speaker 2>up book Club on Thursday for this book, Little History

0:06:21.520 --> 0:06:23.040
<v Speaker 2>of the World by Age Gone. Breck will do that

0:06:23.080 --> 0:06:25.800
<v Speaker 2>on Thursday today. All right, let's get to it. Chiefs Bangals,

0:06:25.839 --> 0:06:26.240
<v Speaker 2>go ahead.

0:06:26.400 --> 0:06:28.160
<v Speaker 4>All right, I'm sorry you went all the way to

0:06:28.240 --> 0:06:31.839
<v Speaker 4>Vegas to see USA, the Jags, and last but not least,

0:06:31.920 --> 0:06:33.080
<v Speaker 4>your Chiefs lose.

0:06:33.279 --> 0:06:34.960
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, the USA is the only one. I didn't lose

0:06:35.000 --> 0:06:38.000
<v Speaker 2>money on the Yeah. I thought the Netherlands would win,

0:06:38.040 --> 0:06:40.040
<v Speaker 2>but the Chiefs, well, I lost money on the others.

0:06:40.080 --> 0:06:40.960
<v Speaker 3>Go ahead. The Chiefs have.

0:06:40.960 --> 0:06:43.440
<v Speaker 4>Five losses in twenty twenty two, and three of them

0:06:43.520 --> 0:06:44.680
<v Speaker 4>are to the Bengals.

0:06:44.920 --> 0:06:47.240
<v Speaker 2>That is, that's an odd way to put it, but

0:06:47.360 --> 0:06:50.599
<v Speaker 2>it is accurate. You mean the calendar year twenty twenty two,

0:06:50.680 --> 0:06:53.240
<v Speaker 2>They've lost three times to the Bengals, once to the Bills,

0:06:53.440 --> 0:06:55.080
<v Speaker 2>once to the Colts. That's right, Go ahead.

0:06:55.160 --> 0:07:00.320
<v Speaker 4>Joe Burrow obviously remains undefeated versus Patrick Mahomes in his career. Yep,

0:07:00.440 --> 0:07:03.960
<v Speaker 4>Casey had a shot late but ended up being the

0:07:04.000 --> 0:07:05.880
<v Speaker 4>only favorite to lose in Week thirteen.

0:07:06.120 --> 0:07:08.279
<v Speaker 2>That's crazy. I didn't realize that until I saw that

0:07:08.320 --> 0:07:11.160
<v Speaker 2>in today's rundown. The only favorite to lose. Almost as

0:07:11.200 --> 0:07:12.640
<v Speaker 2>crazy as I think I went one in five on

0:07:12.760 --> 0:07:13.440
<v Speaker 2>my picks this week.

0:07:13.480 --> 0:07:16.280
<v Speaker 3>Go ahead and the Bills, Yeah, are now the one seeds?

0:07:16.280 --> 0:07:18.680
<v Speaker 3>I don't care. Are the Bengals the best team in

0:07:18.720 --> 0:07:19.640
<v Speaker 3>the in the AFC?

0:07:19.960 --> 0:07:22.480
<v Speaker 4>And can Mahomes be considered the MVP of Joe Burrow

0:07:22.560 --> 0:07:24.200
<v Speaker 4>keeps beating him and playing like this?

0:07:24.280 --> 0:07:26.960
<v Speaker 2>Okay, so so much here, First, let me before I

0:07:27.000 --> 0:07:29.840
<v Speaker 2>answer your questions, my apologies for I will answer them,

0:07:29.880 --> 0:07:32.480
<v Speaker 2>but I want to talk about the game itself. The

0:07:32.560 --> 0:07:38.680
<v Speaker 2>right team won yesterday. Now could the Chiefs have won? Absolutely?

0:07:38.840 --> 0:07:43.320
<v Speaker 2>Travis Kelsey doesn't fumble? He fumbled here they're driving to

0:07:43.360 --> 0:07:46.440
<v Speaker 2>go up two scores, put the game away? Am I

0:07:46.640 --> 0:07:50.960
<v Speaker 2>beside myself? Was I in real time beside myself with

0:07:51.040 --> 0:07:54.200
<v Speaker 2>the decision to kick that field goal, which, first of all,

0:07:54.440 --> 0:07:56.320
<v Speaker 2>far from a sure thing you're gonna make it, as

0:07:56.320 --> 0:07:58.880
<v Speaker 2>evidenced by the fact that he missed it, also to

0:07:58.920 --> 0:08:01.800
<v Speaker 2>fifty five yarder. Bucker is an excellent kicker, but in

0:08:01.840 --> 0:08:06.320
<v Speaker 2>his career is like seventy fifty five yards. But most damningly,

0:08:06.720 --> 0:08:09.480
<v Speaker 2>it takes the ball out of Mahomes's hands. And even

0:08:09.520 --> 0:08:12.000
<v Speaker 2>if you make it, you still need your defense to

0:08:12.000 --> 0:08:14.840
<v Speaker 2>stop Cincinnati, which he hadn't been able to do throughout

0:08:14.840 --> 0:08:18.280
<v Speaker 2>the game. So I understand the Chiefs had many opportunities,

0:08:18.600 --> 0:08:21.760
<v Speaker 2>but so did Cincinnati. Cincinnati dropped a touchdown pass, just

0:08:21.800 --> 0:08:24.520
<v Speaker 2>a perfect pass drops and the Chiefs got a goal

0:08:24.560 --> 0:08:27.400
<v Speaker 2>line stand with a great play by Dunlap that took

0:08:27.440 --> 0:08:31.120
<v Speaker 2>you know, at least maybe seven points off the board.

0:08:31.400 --> 0:08:34.480
<v Speaker 2>So the game was close, coin flip game. I think

0:08:34.559 --> 0:08:36.960
<v Speaker 2>the right team won. I want to give Cincinnati credit.

0:08:37.160 --> 0:08:40.160
<v Speaker 2>That's first of all. Second of all, what is most

0:08:40.280 --> 0:08:43.240
<v Speaker 2>disappointing to me, other than taking the ball out of

0:08:43.240 --> 0:08:47.960
<v Speaker 2>Mahomes's hands on that fourth down, which Flatley should never happen,

0:08:48.080 --> 0:08:50.520
<v Speaker 2>Andy Reid, you trusted him to go for the fourth

0:08:50.559 --> 0:08:52.720
<v Speaker 2>down earlier in the game of the goal line, He's

0:08:52.760 --> 0:08:55.840
<v Speaker 2>supermanned it and got into the end zone. Leave the

0:08:55.880 --> 0:08:59.000
<v Speaker 2>ball in his hands there. What frustrated me so much

0:08:59.240 --> 0:09:04.760
<v Speaker 2>was the Chiefs defense did not show up in a

0:09:04.880 --> 0:09:10.240
<v Speaker 2>huge spot. After talking trash the Chiefs defense. The way

0:09:10.360 --> 0:09:13.319
<v Speaker 2>to slow down Cincinnati is to beat the hell out

0:09:13.320 --> 0:09:15.840
<v Speaker 2>of Burrow, and they got two sacks on the day.

0:09:16.120 --> 0:09:18.320
<v Speaker 2>One of them Burrow kind of gave them on that

0:09:18.440 --> 0:09:21.760
<v Speaker 2>odds second down play call, which was a Bury odd

0:09:21.880 --> 0:09:24.800
<v Speaker 2>decision by Zach Taylor late in the game with two

0:09:24.800 --> 0:09:27.720
<v Speaker 2>four left that gave the Chiefs an opening. And after

0:09:27.800 --> 0:09:31.680
<v Speaker 2>all that, they're in a third and eleven with two

0:09:31.720 --> 0:09:37.800
<v Speaker 2>minutes left, no timeouts, Cincinnati's up three. If you stop them,

0:09:37.960 --> 0:09:40.880
<v Speaker 2>you are getting the ball back, maybe with a minute

0:09:40.960 --> 0:09:44.720
<v Speaker 2>fifty left, if it's an incompletion with a minute fifteen left,

0:09:44.960 --> 0:09:47.640
<v Speaker 2>if it's a completion short of the first down, or

0:09:47.679 --> 0:09:50.400
<v Speaker 2>a sack with a chance to go win, and you

0:09:50.440 --> 0:09:55.160
<v Speaker 2>couldn't get off the field. So credit to the Bengals.

0:09:55.360 --> 0:09:59.840
<v Speaker 2>That's first of all. Second of all, the Chiefs now

0:10:00.120 --> 0:10:04.640
<v Speaker 2>have a rival in the AFC. Everyone has tried to

0:10:04.679 --> 0:10:08.400
<v Speaker 2>say it's the Bills. It is not. It is the Bengals.

0:10:09.160 --> 0:10:11.640
<v Speaker 2>And I know some folks, if you want to be

0:10:11.679 --> 0:10:14.160
<v Speaker 2>a smart ass, will say it's not a rivalry. Chiefs

0:10:14.200 --> 0:10:17.439
<v Speaker 2>have never beaten them. Okay, I think all of us

0:10:17.520 --> 0:10:21.080
<v Speaker 2>recognize how close these games have been. Yes, the Bengals

0:10:21.120 --> 0:10:25.280
<v Speaker 2>have gotten the upper handed it and Bengals deserve bragging rights.

0:10:25.440 --> 0:10:30.959
<v Speaker 2>See this is I am not afraid to give teams credit.

0:10:31.840 --> 0:10:36.840
<v Speaker 2>I just don't like premature credit being demanded. And the

0:10:36.960 --> 0:10:41.280
<v Speaker 2>national media and Bills fans demanded that I give the

0:10:41.320 --> 0:10:44.280
<v Speaker 2>Bills credit and Josh Allen credit for things he has

0:10:44.320 --> 0:10:48.400
<v Speaker 2>not yet done. Joe Burrow has done them. Joe Burrow

0:10:48.880 --> 0:10:52.160
<v Speaker 2>has stared Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs down three times

0:10:52.200 --> 0:10:55.000
<v Speaker 2>in his career and beat them all three first team

0:10:55.040 --> 0:10:57.760
<v Speaker 2>to ever beat them three in a row, the first

0:10:57.880 --> 0:11:01.400
<v Speaker 2>the only quarterback to have three wins against Mahomes. The

0:11:01.480 --> 0:11:04.600
<v Speaker 2>other one is Tom Brady. I give the guy credit,

0:11:06.000 --> 0:11:09.079
<v Speaker 2>and Joe Burrow. I know it's cliche at this point,

0:11:09.520 --> 0:11:13.000
<v Speaker 2>call him Joe Cole. The guy's bleeping cool, like not

0:11:13.240 --> 0:11:16.839
<v Speaker 2>just in a you know how he carries himself off

0:11:16.880 --> 0:11:20.440
<v Speaker 2>the field, but he was under pressure throughout the night.

0:11:20.480 --> 0:11:22.360
<v Speaker 2>They weren't getting the sex, but they were getting pressure.

0:11:22.679 --> 0:11:25.160
<v Speaker 2>And he's calm in the pocket and he makes plays.

0:11:25.679 --> 0:11:28.679
<v Speaker 3>Sounds like you just like Joe Burrow more than Josh Allen.

0:11:28.840 --> 0:11:32.680
<v Speaker 2>Well listen, that is true. But I also was skeptical

0:11:32.720 --> 0:11:35.840
<v Speaker 2>of Burrow coming out of LSU. I didn't see why

0:11:35.840 --> 0:11:37.800
<v Speaker 2>he was the number one pick of the draft. I

0:11:37.840 --> 0:11:40.560
<v Speaker 2>understood he had this one unbelievable season, so it's not

0:11:40.600 --> 0:11:43.760
<v Speaker 2>like I've always liked him, but he's proven it. The

0:11:44.520 --> 0:11:48.720
<v Speaker 2>guy has a eighteen point second half comeback in the

0:11:48.760 --> 0:11:51.640
<v Speaker 2>AFC Championship game against the Chiefs. He had a fourth

0:11:51.679 --> 0:11:57.520
<v Speaker 2>quarter comeback yesterday. He's he's been excellent, and that team

0:11:57.640 --> 0:12:01.920
<v Speaker 2>with Chase and those guys, is scared, especially if you

0:12:02.000 --> 0:12:06.680
<v Speaker 2>can't get to the quarterback. So I just it's not

0:12:06.760 --> 0:12:09.960
<v Speaker 2>about anything other than I give them the respect that

0:12:10.000 --> 0:12:15.440
<v Speaker 2>they have earned. Now to the MVP conversation. They have

0:12:15.559 --> 0:12:18.640
<v Speaker 2>a brutal they being the Bengals schedule the rest of

0:12:18.679 --> 0:12:23.000
<v Speaker 2>the way, but now that Lamar is hurt and the

0:12:23.040 --> 0:12:28.960
<v Speaker 2>AFC North is open, if the Chiefs stumble, of course

0:12:29.000 --> 0:12:31.960
<v Speaker 2>Burrow should be in the MVP conversation right now. He's

0:12:32.000 --> 0:12:34.360
<v Speaker 2>not there. I shouldn't say he's not there. He's in

0:12:34.400 --> 0:12:37.360
<v Speaker 2>the conversation right now. He's not the MVP right now.

0:12:37.400 --> 0:12:41.840
<v Speaker 2>The MVP is still Mahomes and the Vegas odds makers

0:12:41.840 --> 0:12:43.880
<v Speaker 2>agree with me barely on that they have a slight

0:12:43.920 --> 0:12:46.959
<v Speaker 2>favorite over Jailen Hurts. Jalen Hurts was excellent yesterday. We

0:12:47.000 --> 0:12:52.160
<v Speaker 2>can talk more about that in a moment, but Burrow

0:12:52.320 --> 0:12:56.760
<v Speaker 2>absolutely can get there. With all that said, here is

0:12:56.840 --> 0:12:59.920
<v Speaker 2>my proclamation of my guarantee that I am going to

0:13:00.200 --> 0:13:02.240
<v Speaker 2>make and there's gonna be the big thing I do

0:13:02.320 --> 0:13:05.520
<v Speaker 2>on television today, So let's not put this up on

0:13:05.600 --> 0:13:10.679
<v Speaker 2>social media until after the TV show if we could.

0:13:11.080 --> 0:13:14.200
<v Speaker 2>The Chiefs are not losing again this year, and the

0:13:14.280 --> 0:13:17.199
<v Speaker 2>Chiefs are still going to be the one seed. So

0:13:17.280 --> 0:13:20.800
<v Speaker 2>everyone's oh Buffalo right now is the one seed. Let

0:13:20.840 --> 0:13:23.400
<v Speaker 2>me make something very clear about what the Chiefs have

0:13:23.480 --> 0:13:25.559
<v Speaker 2>the rest of the way. They were on the longest

0:13:25.559 --> 0:13:28.920
<v Speaker 2>winning streak in the NFL that is now snapped, obviously

0:13:29.240 --> 0:13:32.520
<v Speaker 2>in credit to the Bengals for doing it, But the

0:13:32.600 --> 0:13:36.479
<v Speaker 2>Chiefs the rest of the way have the Broncos, Texans,

0:13:36.840 --> 0:13:40.720
<v Speaker 2>Seahawks at home, Broncos all of a sudden, Frisky Raiders

0:13:40.800 --> 0:13:44.000
<v Speaker 2>final week of the year. They haven't loss to the

0:13:44.000 --> 0:13:47.920
<v Speaker 2>Broncos since before Mahomes was the quarterback. They don't lose

0:13:47.960 --> 0:13:51.160
<v Speaker 2>to the Raiders Seattle. I give them credit. They're not

0:13:51.280 --> 0:13:53.600
<v Speaker 2>coming in d Arrowhead and winning. So the Chiefs are

0:13:53.600 --> 0:13:57.400
<v Speaker 2>going to finish this season fourteen to three. What does

0:13:57.440 --> 0:14:01.959
<v Speaker 2>that mean? That means the Buffalo bill must go undefeated

0:14:02.000 --> 0:14:04.240
<v Speaker 2>the rest of the way to be the one seed.

0:14:04.480 --> 0:14:07.720
<v Speaker 2>Cincinnati already has four losses, so Cincinnati's got the tie

0:14:07.720 --> 0:14:10.040
<v Speaker 2>breaker on Kansas City, but the Chiefs would have to

0:14:10.080 --> 0:14:18.440
<v Speaker 2>lose again and Cincinnati would have to go undefeated. The Bills, Jets, Dolphins, Bears, Bengals,

0:14:18.640 --> 0:14:23.000
<v Speaker 2>Patriots three divisional games and a game at Cincinnati and

0:14:23.040 --> 0:14:27.440
<v Speaker 2>a game at Chicago, which, again Chicago can't win games,

0:14:27.760 --> 0:14:33.040
<v Speaker 2>but is an unbelievable stat from our friend Danny Parkins.

0:14:35.880 --> 0:14:41.840
<v Speaker 2>Justin Fields has more fifty yard touchdown runs than any

0:14:41.920 --> 0:14:47.840
<v Speaker 2>quarterback in NFL history already. Already He's got three of

0:14:47.880 --> 0:14:50.680
<v Speaker 2>them this season. That's the most of any quarterback in

0:14:50.680 --> 0:14:55.640
<v Speaker 2>the NFL history. Also, we have some breaking news that

0:14:56.080 --> 0:15:02.520
<v Speaker 2>I find really interesting the pant are It's this from

0:15:02.520 --> 0:15:09.880
<v Speaker 2>me and Rapport moments ago. The Panthers are releasing Baker Mayfield.

0:15:10.720 --> 0:15:16.280
<v Speaker 2>He'll hit waivers when it's finalized later today. That oddly

0:15:17.360 --> 0:15:22.920
<v Speaker 2>fits very well into our next discussion and right, pardon me,

0:15:22.920 --> 0:15:26.000
<v Speaker 2>our poll question, Uh, who's the best team in the AFC?

0:15:26.080 --> 0:15:28.400
<v Speaker 2>Forty five percent say the Chiefs, thirty one percent say

0:15:28.400 --> 0:15:31.760
<v Speaker 2>the Bengals, twenty two percent say the Bills. But demon's

0:15:31.800 --> 0:15:34.240
<v Speaker 2>a what team all of a sudden might need a quarterback?

0:15:34.560 --> 0:15:37.280
<v Speaker 2>Go right ahead of the forty nine ers. They did

0:15:37.280 --> 0:15:40.080
<v Speaker 2>make a statement against Tua and the Dolphins. Yeah, Jimmy

0:15:40.080 --> 0:15:42.600
<v Speaker 2>g is likely done for this season. With a broken foot,

0:15:42.760 --> 0:15:45.240
<v Speaker 2>brutals is probably gonna need surgery. Yeah, this means San

0:15:45.280 --> 0:15:49.720
<v Speaker 2>Francisco has lost two starting quarterbacks this season. However, twenty

0:15:49.760 --> 0:15:52.760
<v Speaker 2>twenty two, mister irrelevant Rock Purdy looked great in relief

0:15:53.280 --> 0:15:57.080
<v Speaker 2>meanwhile to a aggravated a lingering an ankle injury. And

0:15:57.120 --> 0:16:00.160
<v Speaker 2>as he's as he struggled against the San France his

0:16:00.160 --> 0:16:01.320
<v Speaker 2>school defensive line.

0:16:01.480 --> 0:16:05.320
<v Speaker 4>Yep, what happens to San Francisco? Mm hmm and Miami

0:16:05.360 --> 0:16:08.840
<v Speaker 4>from here? Should San Francisco get Fitzpatrick or Drew Brees

0:16:09.040 --> 0:16:10.000
<v Speaker 4>or Baker Mayfield?

0:16:10.000 --> 0:16:15.000
<v Speaker 2>Well, listen, Drew Brees no, either he is done and

0:16:15.040 --> 0:16:20.960
<v Speaker 2>Fitzpatrick no. Look brock Birdy yesterday played really well and

0:16:21.520 --> 0:16:23.760
<v Speaker 2>I'm not the guy was a good college player. Now

0:16:23.760 --> 0:16:26.800
<v Speaker 2>he was the final pick of his draft. He's mister

0:16:26.840 --> 0:16:28.720
<v Speaker 2>irrelevant is what they always call, the guy who's picked

0:16:28.760 --> 0:16:31.560
<v Speaker 2>lessons draft. So I will give him the opportunity to

0:16:31.560 --> 0:16:34.360
<v Speaker 2>show he can do something. The odds are he's gonna

0:16:34.400 --> 0:16:39.120
<v Speaker 2>be very limited. The Niners are so good everywhere else, though,

0:16:40.240 --> 0:16:43.800
<v Speaker 2>that you've got to consider them still. I still consider

0:16:43.880 --> 0:16:48.320
<v Speaker 2>them strong contenders in the NFC. The question is can

0:16:48.320 --> 0:16:50.120
<v Speaker 2>they have a quarterback now? Who's gonna make a ton

0:16:50.120 --> 0:16:52.160
<v Speaker 2>of plays, but isn't gonna make a lot of mistakes.

0:16:52.640 --> 0:16:56.560
<v Speaker 2>The Baker thing is interesting. They just signed off the

0:16:56.600 --> 0:17:01.480
<v Speaker 2>Broncos practice squad Josh Johnson. This is his fourteenth different

0:17:02.240 --> 0:17:05.000
<v Speaker 2>stop in the NFL. He's been now some of the teams.

0:17:05.000 --> 0:17:07.200
<v Speaker 2>He's been on the Niners three times, but he's been

0:17:07.800 --> 0:17:11.080
<v Speaker 2>change teams fourteen times in the league. They're on their

0:17:11.119 --> 0:17:16.920
<v Speaker 2>third string quarterback. Does Kyle Shanahan. Now, the way waivers

0:17:17.000 --> 0:17:20.639
<v Speaker 2>work is you claim him, you claim his contract, but

0:17:20.760 --> 0:17:24.080
<v Speaker 2>it's reverse order. It's the same order as the draft order.

0:17:24.440 --> 0:17:27.000
<v Speaker 2>So like if the Texans were to want Baker Mayfield,

0:17:27.000 --> 0:17:29.240
<v Speaker 2>they would get him, they would claim him. Do you

0:17:29.320 --> 0:17:31.760
<v Speaker 2>understand what I mean? Like, so if a guy, if

0:17:31.800 --> 0:17:32.960
<v Speaker 2>a guy gets cut at.

0:17:32.840 --> 0:17:37.080
<v Speaker 4>This point in the careers, exactly right.

0:17:37.160 --> 0:17:40.840
<v Speaker 2>So the Eagles would have the last waiver priority because

0:17:40.840 --> 0:17:43.040
<v Speaker 2>they have the best record, the Texans have the best

0:17:43.320 --> 0:17:46.159
<v Speaker 2>and the Niners have pretty damn good records. So I

0:17:46.200 --> 0:17:47.520
<v Speaker 2>don't I don't have in front of you, but you know,

0:17:47.560 --> 0:17:50.359
<v Speaker 2>twenty five teams have to pass on something like that.

0:17:50.760 --> 0:17:53.560
<v Speaker 2>But I don't think that. Now. The Texans are an

0:17:53.600 --> 0:17:57.000
<v Speaker 2>interesting one. They don't have a quarterback and they but

0:17:57.160 --> 0:17:59.960
<v Speaker 2>do they even want to be in the Baker Mayfield business.

0:18:00.200 --> 0:18:04.239
<v Speaker 2>I don't know the answer to that. The Niners are

0:18:04.280 --> 0:18:07.679
<v Speaker 2>in a very tricky spot. I would put a claim

0:18:07.680 --> 0:18:10.240
<v Speaker 2>in on Baker if I were them, if nothing else,

0:18:10.320 --> 0:18:13.320
<v Speaker 2>then to be the backup and see what party does

0:18:14.320 --> 0:18:19.960
<v Speaker 2>the Niners though, that defense is so god dog good

0:18:21.080 --> 0:18:23.640
<v Speaker 2>that defense is. They gave up a seventy five yard

0:18:23.720 --> 0:18:26.320
<v Speaker 2>touchdown first play of the game and then just shut

0:18:26.520 --> 0:18:31.159
<v Speaker 2>the Dolphins down even though Tyreek still got off right,

0:18:32.400 --> 0:18:33.879
<v Speaker 2>and then we get to the tuas stuff.

0:18:35.320 --> 0:18:37.359
<v Speaker 3>You can't wait to jump on this one.

0:18:37.600 --> 0:18:46.600
<v Speaker 2>Well, everybody was very very quick to demand that to

0:18:47.000 --> 0:18:52.280
<v Speaker 2>get apologies from everyone that doubted him. I want to

0:18:52.320 --> 0:18:55.880
<v Speaker 2>see how the remainder of the year goes. Weather's about

0:18:55.880 --> 0:18:59.920
<v Speaker 2>to get colder, that'll be interesting. Schedule's not going to

0:19:00.160 --> 0:19:04.359
<v Speaker 2>get very soft for them, that'll be interesting. So Miami,

0:19:05.119 --> 0:19:07.399
<v Speaker 2>if we want to go over what they have the

0:19:07.400 --> 0:19:09.720
<v Speaker 2>rest of the way. As they sit at eight and five,

0:19:10.440 --> 0:19:14.200
<v Speaker 2>they are at the Chargers on Sunday Night Football next weekend.

0:19:14.680 --> 0:19:17.000
<v Speaker 2>The Chargers can't get out of their own damn way.

0:19:17.320 --> 0:19:20.000
<v Speaker 2>They're still a dangerous team. They are then at the

0:19:20.040 --> 0:19:24.520
<v Speaker 2>Bills they are then home for the Packers. They are

0:19:24.600 --> 0:19:28.399
<v Speaker 2>then at the Patriots and home for the Jets. So

0:19:28.480 --> 0:19:32.440
<v Speaker 2>the easiest game the rest of the way is home

0:19:32.440 --> 0:19:35.640
<v Speaker 2>for the Packers. For Miami, the Packers all of a sudden,

0:19:35.680 --> 0:19:38.360
<v Speaker 2>By the way, Christian Watson, the kid's got eight touchdowns

0:19:38.400 --> 0:19:46.159
<v Speaker 2>the last four games. There are some obvious limitations that

0:19:46.200 --> 0:19:52.959
<v Speaker 2>Tua has that to me, showed up glaringly yesterday. Now,

0:19:53.000 --> 0:19:57.160
<v Speaker 2>to be fair, Miami was without both of their starting tackles.

0:19:57.320 --> 0:20:01.600
<v Speaker 2>You're playing a ferocious defense. I believe, the best defense

0:20:01.640 --> 0:20:05.040
<v Speaker 2>in football in San Francisco. And that's why San Francisco

0:20:05.680 --> 0:20:07.919
<v Speaker 2>almost no matter who the quarterback is, you still have

0:20:07.960 --> 0:20:11.320
<v Speaker 2>to considered andrus they have a top three running back,

0:20:11.359 --> 0:20:13.800
<v Speaker 2>they have All Pro first team All Pro running back,

0:20:13.800 --> 0:20:16.479
<v Speaker 2>wide receiver, tight end, left tackle, and the best defense

0:20:16.520 --> 0:20:20.560
<v Speaker 2>in football and a great coach I feel. So the

0:20:20.680 --> 0:20:22.720
<v Speaker 2>question is how big of a drop is it from

0:20:22.800 --> 0:20:26.160
<v Speaker 2>Jimmy g to Rock Purty. But this, by the way,

0:20:27.240 --> 0:20:32.920
<v Speaker 2>Rock Purty playing well for them would be such a

0:20:32.960 --> 0:20:37.480
<v Speaker 2>blow for the quarterback. Wins dopes. The folks are like

0:20:37.560 --> 0:20:41.360
<v Speaker 2>wins are a quarterback stat that is, that's how they're

0:20:41.160 --> 0:20:45.200
<v Speaker 2>all that foolishness that has become. And I shouldn't say

0:20:45.240 --> 0:20:48.119
<v Speaker 2>dopes because some of my favorite people in the media

0:20:48.160 --> 0:20:51.320
<v Speaker 2>believe this, most notably my co host Chris Broussard. But

0:20:52.000 --> 0:20:55.800
<v Speaker 2>they're obviously wrong about that. And I'm very curious to

0:20:55.840 --> 0:21:01.320
<v Speaker 2>see what the Niners look like with just a guy

0:21:01.600 --> 0:21:05.840
<v Speaker 2>playing the guy. Yeah, with Brock Perdy, he was their

0:21:05.960 --> 0:21:08.720
<v Speaker 2>third stringer to start the year. He was the two

0:21:08.800 --> 0:21:11.200
<v Speaker 2>hundred and sixty second pick or whatever it was, doing

0:21:11.200 --> 0:21:14.040
<v Speaker 2>a fifty second pick of his draft. And Miami, on

0:21:14.080 --> 0:21:20.320
<v Speaker 2>the other hand, this is this is the time where

0:21:20.440 --> 0:21:25.120
<v Speaker 2>things could go south for it. Absolutely they they one

0:21:25.200 --> 0:21:28.760
<v Speaker 2>hundred percent. What do you think the line is for?

0:21:28.840 --> 0:21:29.760
<v Speaker 2>Who tell me what?

0:21:29.960 --> 0:21:30.320
<v Speaker 3>Miami.

0:21:30.400 --> 0:21:34.920
<v Speaker 4>It's just like everybody's saying, oh, it's Toula's got limitations,

0:21:34.920 --> 0:21:37.199
<v Speaker 4>he's got limitations, and he's been playing well for a

0:21:37.200 --> 0:21:39.679
<v Speaker 4>while now, and then like when it starts to come, they're.

0:21:39.560 --> 0:21:40.880
<v Speaker 3>Like, oh, yep, I told you.

0:21:41.080 --> 0:21:43.200
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. It's like, listen, that's fair.

0:21:43.280 --> 0:21:44.560
<v Speaker 3>Eventually gonna have a bad game.

0:21:44.680 --> 0:21:48.120
<v Speaker 2>That's that's totally fair. It is totally fair to say

0:21:48.320 --> 0:21:51.040
<v Speaker 2>is that's the first game all year he has played

0:21:51.080 --> 0:21:53.679
<v Speaker 2>the whole way through and they've lost, right, so that

0:21:53.800 --> 0:21:58.200
<v Speaker 2>it is a fair critique, and that I am basing

0:21:58.240 --> 0:22:01.640
<v Speaker 2>this analysis on my prior beliefs on him. But those

0:22:01.640 --> 0:22:05.320
<v Speaker 2>prior beliefs on him I feel very strongly about, and

0:22:06.320 --> 0:22:11.040
<v Speaker 2>I do think that if you're Miami and you caught

0:22:11.119 --> 0:22:15.920
<v Speaker 2>people off guard early in the year, Okay, you beat

0:22:15.920 --> 0:22:20.119
<v Speaker 2>the Patriots, whose offense was you score seven points. You

0:22:20.119 --> 0:22:23.880
<v Speaker 2>have that unbelievable game against the Ravens where you're thoroughly

0:22:23.920 --> 0:22:27.200
<v Speaker 2>outplayed for three quarters and in a perfect fourth quarter.

0:22:28.000 --> 0:22:30.160
<v Speaker 2>You didn't have that very weird game against the Bill

0:22:30.240 --> 0:22:32.800
<v Speaker 2>where the Bills double you up in yardage but Josh

0:22:32.840 --> 0:22:36.000
<v Speaker 2>Allen keeps screwing up the clock and goal line. Okay,

0:22:36.440 --> 0:22:41.480
<v Speaker 2>since then, this is what they have done. They lost

0:22:41.480 --> 0:22:46.720
<v Speaker 2>to the Bengals, they lost to the Jets, they lost

0:22:46.920 --> 0:22:51.560
<v Speaker 2>to the Vikings, they beat this those thah, those are

0:22:51.560 --> 0:22:55.800
<v Speaker 2>the games without Tua. So then to his back, here

0:22:55.800 --> 0:22:59.400
<v Speaker 2>are their wins. They beat the Steelers sixteen to ten,

0:23:00.480 --> 0:23:05.360
<v Speaker 2>They beat the Lions, they beat the Bears, they beat

0:23:05.400 --> 0:23:12.280
<v Speaker 2>the Browns, they beat the Texans. So now, with a

0:23:12.359 --> 0:23:15.240
<v Speaker 2>full season's worth of tape of what you're doing on offense,

0:23:15.720 --> 0:23:19.359
<v Speaker 2>you play real teams again, and one of those real

0:23:19.440 --> 0:23:23.639
<v Speaker 2>teams just kick your teeth there, and so I'm interested

0:23:23.720 --> 0:23:27.520
<v Speaker 2>to watch where this goes for Miami moving forward, just

0:23:27.560 --> 0:23:31.119
<v Speaker 2>like I'm you know, the team right now that and

0:23:31.160 --> 0:23:32.800
<v Speaker 2>I don't mean to step on the rest of the show.

0:23:32.840 --> 0:23:35.200
<v Speaker 2>I'll just do this quickly. If I were a fan

0:23:35.280 --> 0:23:38.600
<v Speaker 2>of them, I would be up at night just like

0:23:38.640 --> 0:23:40.560
<v Speaker 2>You've got to be kidding me about so many of

0:23:40.560 --> 0:23:44.960
<v Speaker 2>our losses. The Raiders who are sitting at five and

0:23:45.119 --> 0:23:51.000
<v Speaker 2>seven and have to feel like, if we had one

0:23:51.119 --> 0:23:54.280
<v Speaker 2>of those games we gave away, the Cardinals game, which

0:23:54.320 --> 0:23:58.080
<v Speaker 2>they flatly gave away, the Chiefs game, which they had

0:23:58.280 --> 0:24:01.040
<v Speaker 2>multiple chances to win and they did, if they had

0:24:01.359 --> 0:24:05.760
<v Speaker 2>the Jags game that they gave away, if they had

0:24:05.800 --> 0:24:08.760
<v Speaker 2>won one of those games and they were six and

0:24:08.800 --> 0:24:11.000
<v Speaker 2>six right now, they got to feel like they have

0:24:11.080 --> 0:24:14.080
<v Speaker 2>to run the table. Now, as far as running the

0:24:14.080 --> 0:24:17.600
<v Speaker 2>table goes, they're not gonna run the table. But they

0:24:17.600 --> 0:24:21.240
<v Speaker 2>have the Rams on Thursday. They then have the Patriots

0:24:21.240 --> 0:24:25.159
<v Speaker 2>at home the next Sunday night, then the Steelers. The

0:24:25.280 --> 0:24:27.960
<v Speaker 2>Raiders could before they played the Niners and the Chiefs

0:24:28.000 --> 0:24:31.040
<v Speaker 2>at the end of the year. That's brutal the Raiders.

0:24:31.240 --> 0:24:34.919
<v Speaker 2>I think they're gonna finish game or two out and

0:24:34.920 --> 0:24:37.439
<v Speaker 2>feel like God, dog it, we should have been right there,

0:24:37.480 --> 0:24:40.600
<v Speaker 2>all right? Next, no no poll for this.

0:24:40.560 --> 0:24:41.160
<v Speaker 3>One, all right.

0:24:41.240 --> 0:24:45.080
<v Speaker 4>Both NFC East powerhouses made statements this weekend the one

0:24:45.160 --> 0:24:48.720
<v Speaker 4>loss Eagles blew out the Titans, Dallas embarrassed the Colts

0:24:48.720 --> 0:24:51.520
<v Speaker 4>on Sunday Night football. There are three clear top teams

0:24:51.480 --> 0:24:54.840
<v Speaker 4>in the NFC, Philly, Dallas and Minnesota. How do you

0:24:54.920 --> 0:24:58.280
<v Speaker 4>rank them? Is Dallas better than Philly regardless of the record.

0:24:58.320 --> 0:25:03.480
<v Speaker 2>Okay, they're not three. Clearly, there are three clear best

0:25:03.480 --> 0:25:05.680
<v Speaker 2>teams in the NFC, but Minnesota is not one of them.

0:25:05.920 --> 0:25:08.800
<v Speaker 2>Give me a break on Minnesota. Yeah, I'm very happy

0:25:08.840 --> 0:25:10.720
<v Speaker 2>for you with your ten and two record. You are

0:25:10.760 --> 0:25:13.480
<v Speaker 2>not a very good team. I shouldn't say you're not

0:25:13.520 --> 0:25:15.480
<v Speaker 2>a good team, not a very good team. You got

0:25:15.600 --> 0:25:19.720
<v Speaker 2>incredibly lucky to beat the Jets yesterday. You're nine to

0:25:19.800 --> 0:25:22.600
<v Speaker 2>zero one score games. Give me a break. Including Minnesota.

0:25:22.600 --> 0:25:26.600
<v Speaker 2>Then Philly, Dallas and the Niners are the three best

0:25:26.600 --> 0:25:31.280
<v Speaker 2>teams in the NFC, hands down. I was all right.

0:25:31.320 --> 0:25:35.800
<v Speaker 2>So here's the thing on Philly, and I know Eagles

0:25:35.800 --> 0:25:38.760
<v Speaker 2>fans hate me, and that's fine and I'll deal with it.

0:25:39.040 --> 0:25:41.720
<v Speaker 2>And Jalen Hart, they ran for three hundred and fifty

0:25:41.800 --> 0:25:44.840
<v Speaker 2>yards the week before this. This week, Jaalen throws for

0:25:44.920 --> 0:25:48.440
<v Speaker 2>damn near four hundred credit where it's due an AJ

0:25:48.600 --> 0:25:51.359
<v Speaker 2>Brown revenge game against the team used to be on

0:25:51.400 --> 0:25:54.280
<v Speaker 2>the Titans. They didn't want to pay him, they traded him,

0:25:54.520 --> 0:25:58.399
<v Speaker 2>and he dominated that football game. The way right now

0:25:58.480 --> 0:26:03.520
<v Speaker 2>to go after Philadelphia is vertical passing game and Tennessee

0:26:03.720 --> 0:26:07.840
<v Speaker 2>can't do it. Tennessee, especially once Treylon Burks went out.

0:26:07.920 --> 0:26:10.520
<v Speaker 2>Did you see the Traylon Burks touchdown highlight? It's one

0:26:10.520 --> 0:26:13.000
<v Speaker 2>of the best plays of the year. He got knocked

0:26:13.200 --> 0:26:17.639
<v Speaker 2>unconscious on the catch and held onto it while unconscious

0:26:19.240 --> 0:26:21.600
<v Speaker 2>in the night. That was I mean, it was a

0:26:21.640 --> 0:26:24.800
<v Speaker 2>scary play. But once he went out for the game,

0:26:25.920 --> 0:26:31.560
<v Speaker 2>Tennessee can't beat you vertically and Philadelphia seized on it. Dallas,

0:26:31.600 --> 0:26:33.439
<v Speaker 2>on the other hand, it's one of the most bizarre

0:26:33.480 --> 0:26:38.280
<v Speaker 2>games ever because Indy is going for two to tie

0:26:38.320 --> 0:26:41.879
<v Speaker 2>that football game late in the third quarter and they

0:26:41.960 --> 0:26:46.200
<v Speaker 2>end up losing by a thousand. Dallas outscores him thirty

0:26:46.320 --> 0:26:49.600
<v Speaker 2>three to nothing in the fourth quarter because Indy can't

0:26:49.600 --> 0:26:52.679
<v Speaker 2>stop turning the ball over to me. Dallas was the

0:26:52.680 --> 0:26:56.840
<v Speaker 2>more impressive performance yesterday, even though Tennessee is a better

0:26:56.880 --> 0:27:03.160
<v Speaker 2>team than Indy, because the Dallas's ability to be explosive

0:27:04.400 --> 0:27:08.560
<v Speaker 2>is to me really frightening if you're anyone else in

0:27:08.600 --> 0:27:10.960
<v Speaker 2>the NFC, because you know how good that defense is.

0:27:11.600 --> 0:27:17.760
<v Speaker 2>And so Philadelphia deserves credit for everything they've done this year.

0:27:18.240 --> 0:27:21.960
<v Speaker 2>I still well, I got to see what happened with

0:27:22.000 --> 0:27:25.720
<v Speaker 2>the Niners at the quarterback position and the Cowboys. The

0:27:25.720 --> 0:27:28.400
<v Speaker 2>problem is, I don't trust the head coach right now,

0:27:28.400 --> 0:27:32.200
<v Speaker 2>if you're in the NFC, if you're Seattle right now,

0:27:32.760 --> 0:27:34.879
<v Speaker 2>you got to feel like we could win the conference.

0:27:36.720 --> 0:27:40.280
<v Speaker 2>And I know people are the Philadelphia fans are yelling

0:27:40.320 --> 0:27:45.360
<v Speaker 2>at their computer screens or into their phones saying what

0:27:45.600 --> 0:27:47.880
<v Speaker 2>more do we have to do to show you we

0:27:48.080 --> 0:27:52.760
<v Speaker 2>are that dominant team? And I have been consistent on this,

0:27:53.080 --> 0:27:55.919
<v Speaker 2>and you can say it's unfair, you can say, but

0:27:58.080 --> 0:28:03.520
<v Speaker 2>having that awful of a showing in the postseason last year,

0:28:03.840 --> 0:28:07.159
<v Speaker 2>when it's the only playoff experience your coach or your

0:28:07.240 --> 0:28:10.800
<v Speaker 2>quarterback have ever had, I cannot get that out of

0:28:10.800 --> 0:28:13.280
<v Speaker 2>my mind until I see you play in a playoff

0:28:13.280 --> 0:28:18.800
<v Speaker 2>game again. There is literally nothing you could do this

0:28:19.000 --> 0:28:22.480
<v Speaker 2>for me. Nothing you could do this regular season to

0:28:22.520 --> 0:28:26.000
<v Speaker 2>where I don't have a yeah but about that game.

0:28:26.320 --> 0:28:29.920
<v Speaker 2>You then add to it that I didn't I thought Philly,

0:28:30.280 --> 0:28:33.199
<v Speaker 2>as dominant as they were early in the year, that

0:28:33.359 --> 0:28:37.040
<v Speaker 2>Philly later in the year was not playing their best football,

0:28:37.080 --> 0:28:39.960
<v Speaker 2>as evidence by the fact that when they played the

0:28:40.000 --> 0:28:42.480
<v Speaker 2>Texans a few weeks ago or a month ago, I

0:28:42.520 --> 0:28:46.040
<v Speaker 2>thought that was a mediocre performance. They lose to the Commanders,

0:28:46.480 --> 0:28:50.120
<v Speaker 2>they steal one against the Colts, they are in a

0:28:50.200 --> 0:28:52.520
<v Speaker 2>dogfight against a Packers team that I don't think is

0:28:52.520 --> 0:28:55.160
<v Speaker 2>any good, and then they dominate the Titans. They get

0:28:55.200 --> 0:28:58.720
<v Speaker 2>back on track against the Titans yesterday. But to me,

0:28:59.280 --> 0:29:03.680
<v Speaker 2>that game shitted entirely when Traylon Burke's went out, And

0:29:03.720 --> 0:29:05.440
<v Speaker 2>now that was early in the game. So am I

0:29:05.560 --> 0:29:09.000
<v Speaker 2>judging Philly by an unfair standard? Maybe, But I just

0:29:09.240 --> 0:29:11.880
<v Speaker 2>my obligation to the audience is to be honest, and

0:29:11.960 --> 0:29:16.160
<v Speaker 2>my honest opinion is it would not shock me if

0:29:16.160 --> 0:29:20.640
<v Speaker 2>Philadelphia ends up the one seed, gets the buy and

0:29:20.680 --> 0:29:24.080
<v Speaker 2>then loses its first playoff game. Next ISAs oh, is

0:29:24.160 --> 0:29:26.000
<v Speaker 2>Dallas better than Philly? Is the pole question?

0:29:27.240 --> 0:29:31.640
<v Speaker 4>Seventy say yes, seventy nine say no.

0:29:31.560 --> 0:29:33.880
<v Speaker 2>So seventy nine percent of the audience thinks Phillies better

0:29:33.880 --> 0:29:36.080
<v Speaker 2>than Dallas. We'll get to see them play again here soon.

0:29:36.400 --> 0:29:37.200
<v Speaker 3>Go ahead, all right.

0:29:37.240 --> 0:29:40.200
<v Speaker 4>Lamar Jackson went down early yesterday with knee injury and

0:29:40.240 --> 0:29:43.000
<v Speaker 4>did not return and screwed a couple of my parlays.

0:29:43.160 --> 0:29:44.280
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, you know, guys hurt.

0:29:44.600 --> 0:29:47.400
<v Speaker 4>Luckily for Baltimore, they were playing the Broncos and won

0:29:47.560 --> 0:29:48.640
<v Speaker 4>by a point.

0:29:48.600 --> 0:29:51.760
<v Speaker 3>But the Bengals are clearly the class of this division.

0:29:52.160 --> 0:29:55.400
<v Speaker 4>Is this injury more devastating for Baltimore or Lamar considering

0:29:55.480 --> 0:29:56.400
<v Speaker 4>his contract situation.

0:29:56.560 --> 0:29:59.200
<v Speaker 2>I think it's more devastating for Baltimore. Remember Baltimore last

0:29:59.240 --> 0:30:01.239
<v Speaker 2>year was what were they? Eight and three? And then

0:30:01.280 --> 0:30:04.480
<v Speaker 2>Lamar got hurt and they missed the playoffs. They're now

0:30:04.480 --> 0:30:07.760
<v Speaker 2>eight and four and Baltimore now what they have going

0:30:07.800 --> 0:30:11.200
<v Speaker 2>for them this year is Baltimore's schedule the rest of

0:30:11.240 --> 0:30:17.000
<v Speaker 2>the way Steelers, Browns, Falcons, Steelers, Bengals. So now the

0:30:17.000 --> 0:30:19.320
<v Speaker 2>Steelers won a few in a row and the Browns

0:30:19.360 --> 0:30:22.320
<v Speaker 2>will see what they look like when Deshaun gets the

0:30:22.360 --> 0:30:25.360
<v Speaker 2>rust off. But they that was a very important win

0:30:25.400 --> 0:30:28.680
<v Speaker 2>for them yesterday and they are lout the only team

0:30:28.680 --> 0:30:30.320
<v Speaker 2>in the league. Yesterday. I think they could have beaten

0:30:30.800 --> 0:30:35.320
<v Speaker 2>is the Broncos, and so Lamar is gonna get some

0:30:35.560 --> 0:30:39.360
<v Speaker 2>version of a good contract no matter what. But Lamar

0:30:39.920 --> 0:30:41.960
<v Speaker 2>since the first month of the season has not played

0:30:42.000 --> 0:30:43.640
<v Speaker 2>great and now this is the second straight year has

0:30:43.680 --> 0:30:44.240
<v Speaker 2>gotten hurt.

0:30:45.640 --> 0:30:47.520
<v Speaker 3>Those are I think it's pretty devastating for Lamar.

0:30:48.440 --> 0:30:54.160
<v Speaker 2>Well, until you realize that if the Ravens were so

0:30:54.520 --> 0:30:57.720
<v Speaker 2>to me, his worst case scenario is they just franchised

0:30:57.720 --> 0:31:00.280
<v Speaker 2>tag him for forty million bucks. Because if you don't

0:31:00.320 --> 0:31:02.920
<v Speaker 2>think there's a team out there, and I've said it,

0:31:03.160 --> 0:31:05.280
<v Speaker 2>use them for I use them again like the Jets,

0:31:05.840 --> 0:31:10.040
<v Speaker 2>that would give Lamar forty five million a year guaranteed.

0:31:10.360 --> 0:31:15.320
<v Speaker 2>Of course they would. So his downside is relatively limited

0:31:15.720 --> 0:31:20.080
<v Speaker 2>because his if he was amazing this year, they might

0:31:20.120 --> 0:31:21.840
<v Speaker 2>franchise tag him ayway because they don't want to gi

0:31:21.920 --> 0:31:24.800
<v Speaker 2>him fully guaranteed deal. If he's bad and hurt, they're

0:31:24.840 --> 0:31:28.800
<v Speaker 2>still going to franchise tag him. Baltimore, on the other hand,

0:31:30.240 --> 0:31:33.760
<v Speaker 2>Cincinnati's win over the Chiefs is really damaging for Baltimore

0:31:34.160 --> 0:31:37.240
<v Speaker 2>and the fact that Cincinnati gets to play Baltimore again

0:31:37.320 --> 0:31:39.920
<v Speaker 2>later in the year. Baltimore needs to find a way

0:31:39.960 --> 0:31:43.680
<v Speaker 2>to win these games without Lamar. Luckily the schedules soft.

0:31:44.080 --> 0:31:48.880
<v Speaker 2>But the Steelers are a live team right now and

0:31:48.920 --> 0:31:51.280
<v Speaker 2>you got to deal with them. You can't imagine they're

0:31:51.280 --> 0:31:54.720
<v Speaker 2>gonna sweep the Steelers. So it's not quite as easy

0:31:54.880 --> 0:31:57.320
<v Speaker 2>as maybe we thought the schedule was gonna be a

0:31:57.360 --> 0:32:00.800
<v Speaker 2>few weeks ago. To me, the bigger story not bigger story,

0:32:01.440 --> 0:32:04.600
<v Speaker 2>but an equally big story from that game is it

0:32:04.680 --> 0:32:10.600
<v Speaker 2>is impossible how bad the Broncos are. I was skeptical

0:32:10.640 --> 0:32:13.760
<v Speaker 2>of them. I was the biggest Broncos skeptic I think

0:32:13.800 --> 0:32:16.640
<v Speaker 2>in the national media. I said I thought they were

0:32:16.640 --> 0:32:19.320
<v Speaker 2>going to be eight and nine, and people killed me

0:32:19.400 --> 0:32:24.600
<v Speaker 2>for it. They would if they win out. Is that

0:32:24.920 --> 0:32:28.600
<v Speaker 2>they would have to win out to be eight to nine.

0:32:28.040 --> 0:32:32.400
<v Speaker 2>They have the Chiefs twice the rest of the way

0:32:32.960 --> 0:32:37.000
<v Speaker 2>they the Broncos. This is what they have done as

0:32:37.000 --> 0:32:39.480
<v Speaker 2>far as points scored this year. And keep in mind

0:32:39.480 --> 0:32:45.600
<v Speaker 2>there are some games with a defense score sixteen, sixteen, eleven,

0:32:46.240 --> 0:32:56.960
<v Speaker 2>twenty three nine, sixteen nine, twenty one, ten, sixteen ten nine.

0:32:58.560 --> 0:32:59.960
<v Speaker 2>How is that possible?

0:33:00.200 --> 0:33:02.800
<v Speaker 3>Were they up six to zero or was it three zero?

0:33:02.960 --> 0:33:05.240
<v Speaker 3>Was there only they were up six to zero at

0:33:05.240 --> 0:33:06.040
<v Speaker 3>some point yesterday?

0:33:06.080 --> 0:33:08.520
<v Speaker 2>I feel like, no, they no, they but they were

0:33:08.600 --> 0:33:13.680
<v Speaker 2>up nine to three before Tyler Huntley drove them all

0:33:13.720 --> 0:33:17.840
<v Speaker 2>the way down the field for a touchdown. I how

0:33:18.080 --> 0:33:21.760
<v Speaker 2>maddening must it be to be on this Broncos defense. Yeah,

0:33:22.280 --> 0:33:30.000
<v Speaker 2>Russ has eight touchdowns this year. Eight. I gotta I'm

0:33:30.040 --> 0:33:32.280
<v Speaker 2>sorry to do this in real time, but it's just

0:33:32.720 --> 0:33:37.320
<v Speaker 2>it where I gotta find other quarterbacks that are similar

0:33:37.560 --> 0:33:41.959
<v Speaker 2>when it comes to passing touchdowns. I'm sorting by touchdowns

0:33:42.000 --> 0:33:48.480
<v Speaker 2>right now. Uhh okay, here are guys with Okay, Baker

0:33:48.600 --> 0:33:53.960
<v Speaker 2>has six, he's been benched. Taylor Heineke has nine. He

0:33:54.160 --> 0:33:59.800
<v Speaker 2>wasn't the starter the first six weeks. Carson Wentz has ten.

0:34:01.320 --> 0:34:07.360
<v Speaker 2>So Washington, which switched quarterbacks this year in both both

0:34:07.400 --> 0:34:13.400
<v Speaker 2>of their quarterbacks have more touchdown passes than Russ. Davis

0:34:13.440 --> 0:34:19.080
<v Speaker 2>Mills has eleven. He's been benched. Jacoby Brissett has twelve.

0:34:20.440 --> 0:34:24.200
<v Speaker 2>The guy he has Matt Ryan, has been benched and

0:34:24.239 --> 0:34:29.680
<v Speaker 2>has come back. He has thirteen. Russ has eight. He's

0:34:29.719 --> 0:34:33.839
<v Speaker 2>got eight. Jameis Winston hasn't played in two months. He's

0:34:33.840 --> 0:34:40.000
<v Speaker 2>got four eight. I can't. I thought Russell Wilson was

0:34:40.120 --> 0:34:42.719
<v Speaker 2>overrated coming into the year. I thought the Broncos made

0:34:42.760 --> 0:34:47.120
<v Speaker 2>a big mistake. I never in a million years thought

0:34:47.120 --> 0:34:51.680
<v Speaker 2>it was going to look like this where they are

0:34:52.320 --> 0:34:56.239
<v Speaker 2>the worst offense in football. His passer ratings eighty three,

0:34:56.880 --> 0:34:59.960
<v Speaker 2>that is twenty ninth in the league, ahead of only

0:35:00.719 --> 0:35:06.200
<v Speaker 2>Davis Mills, Kenny Pickett, and Zach Wilson and Baker Mayfield.

0:35:07.560 --> 0:35:10.720
<v Speaker 2>So a rookie and three guys who have been benched.

0:35:11.360 --> 0:35:15.319
<v Speaker 2>That's it. It's unbelievable. All right, take quick break, come back,

0:35:58.640 --> 0:36:01.359
<v Speaker 2>Welcome Back. In What's Right with Right? Episode one oh three,

0:36:02.239 --> 0:36:06.040
<v Speaker 2>during the show, breaking news that Baker Mayfield is getting released,

0:36:06.239 --> 0:36:09.399
<v Speaker 2>and I do wonder if the Niners are gonna try

0:36:09.400 --> 0:36:12.680
<v Speaker 2>to claim him. If you're Baker, you've got to do

0:36:13.080 --> 0:36:18.440
<v Speaker 2>everything you can in your power to make sure nobody

0:36:19.440 --> 0:36:22.319
<v Speaker 2>you find out if the Niners have interest, right, and

0:36:22.400 --> 0:36:26.320
<v Speaker 2>if they do, try to poison the water so nobody

0:36:26.880 --> 0:36:30.520
<v Speaker 2>else picks you. So the let me just before we

0:36:30.560 --> 0:36:35.200
<v Speaker 2>get to our FIFA forecast, Uh let me, I said,

0:36:35.200 --> 0:36:36.719
<v Speaker 2>I didn't have the full list in front of you

0:36:36.800 --> 0:36:39.800
<v Speaker 2>as far as who would have waiver priority, but I

0:36:40.080 --> 0:36:42.319
<v Speaker 2>can obviously get it in front of me. So if

0:36:42.320 --> 0:36:46.759
<v Speaker 2>we do the league standings, so Houston has a first priority,

0:36:47.320 --> 0:36:51.800
<v Speaker 2>they might claim So Chicago definitely wouldn't, The Rams wouldn't,

0:36:51.840 --> 0:36:58.680
<v Speaker 2>Denver wouldn't, Jacksonville wouldn't. New Orleans maybe because they don't

0:36:58.719 --> 0:37:00.839
<v Speaker 2>have a quarterback at the present or future and they

0:37:00.840 --> 0:37:06.080
<v Speaker 2>don't have their pick Arizona, no Indie, no Green Bay

0:37:06.120 --> 0:37:11.920
<v Speaker 2>of course, not Atlanta Indy. No, They're they're rolling with

0:37:12.000 --> 0:37:15.360
<v Speaker 2>Matt Ryan like they that's who Jeff Saturday wants. Atlanta

0:37:15.440 --> 0:37:19.879
<v Speaker 2>drafted a guy who they haven't played yet, So no Pittsburgh,

0:37:19.920 --> 0:37:24.239
<v Speaker 2>no Cleveland. That would be hilarious, but no, the Raiders know,

0:37:25.440 --> 0:37:33.719
<v Speaker 2>Lions know Tampa, No Chargers, Patriots maybe probably not because

0:37:33.719 --> 0:37:35.920
<v Speaker 2>they have ZAPPI. I was just thinking about teams that

0:37:36.000 --> 0:37:41.440
<v Speaker 2>might want him as a backup. Washington, No Seattle, and

0:37:41.520 --> 0:37:48.400
<v Speaker 2>the Jets know Tennessee, Giants, Miami, and now we're up

0:37:48.400 --> 0:37:52.520
<v Speaker 2>to San Francisco. So you really need to make it

0:37:52.600 --> 0:37:56.880
<v Speaker 2>clear to the people in Houston that you will be

0:37:56.960 --> 0:38:03.200
<v Speaker 2>a culture killer agent. Just Baker right now should tweet

0:38:03.200 --> 0:38:08.600
<v Speaker 2>out how much Texas barbecue sucks and how how much

0:38:08.600 --> 0:38:12.600
<v Speaker 2>he enjoyed kicking the Longhorns ass when he was at Oklahoma,

0:38:12.680 --> 0:38:16.200
<v Speaker 2>and do everything he can to poison the water about

0:38:16.239 --> 0:38:19.000
<v Speaker 2>the Texans, potentially claiming get away from the Texans. It's

0:38:19.000 --> 0:38:20.840
<v Speaker 2>the very now. By the way, I don't know that

0:38:20.880 --> 0:38:23.640
<v Speaker 2>the Niners would claim it, but I think it would

0:38:23.640 --> 0:38:28.240
<v Speaker 2>be if they are claiming Josh Johnson off dudes, practice squads.

0:38:28.800 --> 0:38:31.279
<v Speaker 2>Kyle Shanahan, I would imagine, would want to see what

0:38:31.320 --> 0:38:32.680
<v Speaker 2>he could do with Baker.

0:38:33.040 --> 0:38:36.880
<v Speaker 3>So I got around him, of course.

0:38:37.040 --> 0:38:40.560
<v Speaker 2>I mean it would be what an unbelievable story it

0:38:40.600 --> 0:38:46.439
<v Speaker 2>would be if Baker ends up falling ass backwards into

0:38:46.440 --> 0:38:51.240
<v Speaker 2>being the Niners quarterback. In that situation, it also would

0:38:51.239 --> 0:38:59.800
<v Speaker 2>be such a wonderful litmus test of what it takes

0:39:00.520 --> 0:39:05.040
<v Speaker 2>to be successful in the league. If Baker had just

0:39:05.120 --> 0:39:09.800
<v Speaker 2>been terrible, you know, his last year in Cleveland, awful

0:39:09.800 --> 0:39:13.680
<v Speaker 2>with Carolina, but then gets to the Niners and looks

0:39:13.719 --> 0:39:18.399
<v Speaker 2>good again. It also should be noted that is there

0:39:18.440 --> 0:39:23.360
<v Speaker 2>a connection between Stefanski and Shanahan. Maybe not. I was

0:39:23.440 --> 0:39:26.080
<v Speaker 2>gonna say, was Stefanski part of that tree, But I'm

0:39:26.080 --> 0:39:29.279
<v Speaker 2>not sure Stefanski was the coach in Cleveland, obviously. All right,

0:39:29.600 --> 0:39:30.480
<v Speaker 2>let's get to soccer.

0:39:30.520 --> 0:39:32.719
<v Speaker 4>Go ahead, all right, you did all you could at

0:39:32.760 --> 0:39:35.560
<v Speaker 4>the aria Sports Book, but it wasn't enough for the

0:39:35.640 --> 0:39:36.680
<v Speaker 4>US to beat the Dutch.

0:39:36.760 --> 0:39:39.000
<v Speaker 2>All right. That was funny, by the way, real quick,

0:39:39.200 --> 0:39:41.720
<v Speaker 2>I was at the Arias Sportsbook, US down to nothing,

0:39:41.960 --> 0:39:44.200
<v Speaker 2>they didn't get a goal. Make it to one. Now,

0:39:44.200 --> 0:39:46.040
<v Speaker 2>all of a sudden, it's a game, and we can

0:39:46.080 --> 0:39:50.319
<v Speaker 2>put the tweet up there. This guy, you're gonna see

0:39:50.320 --> 0:39:53.120
<v Speaker 2>me in a moment, pounding the desk right there in

0:39:53.160 --> 0:39:55.880
<v Speaker 2>the white shirt. I'm pounding the desk. He wasn't like

0:39:55.960 --> 0:39:58.719
<v Speaker 2>videoing me. He was videoing the sports book and then

0:39:58.760 --> 0:40:01.880
<v Speaker 2>caught me on there. I was every day in Vegas.

0:40:01.920 --> 0:40:04.040
<v Speaker 2>I got up at six forty five in the morning,

0:40:04.280 --> 0:40:07.520
<v Speaker 2>went downstairs, got a cup of coffee and watched the

0:40:07.560 --> 0:40:09.520
<v Speaker 2>World Cup. But the US of course lost.

0:40:09.560 --> 0:40:12.320
<v Speaker 4>Go ahead, Oh yeah, any last words for the USA?

0:40:12.360 --> 0:40:14.680
<v Speaker 4>And are you still sticking with Brazil to win it all?

0:40:15.160 --> 0:40:17.480
<v Speaker 2>All right, I'm still sticking with Brazil. Naymar is supposed

0:40:17.480 --> 0:40:20.720
<v Speaker 2>to come back. Namar also flew his barber or hairstylist

0:40:21.040 --> 0:40:24.160
<v Speaker 2>into Qatar to give him a new hair do for

0:40:24.239 --> 0:40:27.719
<v Speaker 2>today's game. That's exciting. Also, as we're on the air

0:40:27.840 --> 0:40:32.799
<v Speaker 2>right now, Croatia is trail. Oh no, they just tied

0:40:32.840 --> 0:40:37.200
<v Speaker 2>it up literally a moment ago. Crous should tied it

0:40:37.280 --> 0:40:40.480
<v Speaker 2>up against Japan. This is the first World Cup game

0:40:40.520 --> 0:40:44.120
<v Speaker 2>I'm missing because I'm doing this show live right now.

0:40:44.320 --> 0:40:47.040
<v Speaker 2>So Japan took a one zier lead right before halftime.

0:40:47.239 --> 0:40:54.560
<v Speaker 2>Krous should tied it up right now. France, Spain and

0:40:54.640 --> 0:40:58.040
<v Speaker 2>Brazil looked like the classes of the tournament. And what

0:40:58.200 --> 0:41:03.960
<v Speaker 2>Imbape did yesterday was so phenomenal to watch. I know

0:41:04.040 --> 0:41:06.160
<v Speaker 2>everyone says he's the best player in the world. He

0:41:06.320 --> 0:41:09.719
<v Speaker 2>clearly is the best player in the world. And he's

0:41:09.800 --> 0:41:13.520
<v Speaker 2>just brilliant. I am sicking with Brazil obviously they need

0:41:13.520 --> 0:41:16.920
<v Speaker 2>Aymar to be healthy. And Argentina is still lingering clearly.

0:41:17.520 --> 0:41:20.760
<v Speaker 2>And you know they also have advanced already to the quarters.

0:41:21.200 --> 0:41:25.279
<v Speaker 2>And so we have a great quarterfinal matchup already on

0:41:25.400 --> 0:41:29.040
<v Speaker 2>you know, on deck with the Netherlands against Argentina. Netherlands

0:41:29.080 --> 0:41:31.879
<v Speaker 2>which is on the longest unbeaten streak of any team

0:41:31.880 --> 0:41:35.799
<v Speaker 2>in international soccer. We also have a really good quarterfinal

0:41:35.800 --> 0:41:38.560
<v Speaker 2>matchup locked up in England and France. I thought England

0:41:38.560 --> 0:41:41.880
<v Speaker 2>could lose to Senegal and said they crushed him. Here's

0:41:42.040 --> 0:41:46.680
<v Speaker 2>the last words on the US. You can't call this

0:41:46.800 --> 0:41:50.239
<v Speaker 2>tournament a disappointment. So they did exactly what they were

0:41:50.280 --> 0:41:53.719
<v Speaker 2>supposed to do for second in the group, make the quarters,

0:41:53.960 --> 0:41:58.520
<v Speaker 2>lose to Netherlands, that's clear. But you can't call it

0:41:58.600 --> 0:42:02.680
<v Speaker 2>a rousing success either, because I would argue they didn't

0:42:02.719 --> 0:42:07.399
<v Speaker 2>play a single great game the whole tournament, right. Their

0:42:07.480 --> 0:42:11.160
<v Speaker 2>best game was a game they scored zero goals against England,

0:42:11.440 --> 0:42:14.200
<v Speaker 2>the nil nil draw. It was nice that they beat

0:42:14.200 --> 0:42:16.880
<v Speaker 2>a run, but they almost gave it away at the

0:42:17.000 --> 0:42:21.040
<v Speaker 2>end against the Netherlands. They had no business that game

0:42:21.080 --> 0:42:23.359
<v Speaker 2>should have been one to one or two to one

0:42:23.560 --> 0:42:28.080
<v Speaker 2>US at the half. Instead it was too nothing Netherlands.

0:42:28.440 --> 0:42:30.600
<v Speaker 2>And I understand that they were the one of the

0:42:30.640 --> 0:42:33.399
<v Speaker 2>youngest teams in the whole tournament. The next World Cup

0:42:33.440 --> 0:42:35.680
<v Speaker 2>is in the United States. I get all of that,

0:42:36.480 --> 0:42:41.120
<v Speaker 2>and there are reasons to be optimistic, but if you're

0:42:41.160 --> 0:42:44.120
<v Speaker 2>giving them a grade for this World Cup anything more

0:42:44.160 --> 0:42:47.520
<v Speaker 2>than a B is being far too generous. And it

0:42:47.640 --> 0:42:51.560
<v Speaker 2>is clear I didn't want to say argued I disagreed

0:42:51.560 --> 0:42:54.239
<v Speaker 2>with Rick Buker a bit on this when Rick was like,

0:42:54.280 --> 0:42:56.960
<v Speaker 2>anyone that's calling them an elite team doesn't know what

0:42:56.960 --> 0:42:59.480
<v Speaker 2>they're talking about, and I just said to him, well,

0:42:59.480 --> 0:43:01.360
<v Speaker 2>you got to defy elite. Are they one of the

0:43:01.360 --> 0:43:03.839
<v Speaker 2>ten best teams in the world, clearly not. Are they

0:43:03.880 --> 0:43:06.399
<v Speaker 2>one of the twenty best? I would argue, clearly, yes,

0:43:07.239 --> 0:43:11.759
<v Speaker 2>closer to twenty than to ten. But that jump between

0:43:12.320 --> 0:43:16.360
<v Speaker 2>where they are right now to actually competing in a

0:43:16.400 --> 0:43:21.520
<v Speaker 2>World Cup is such a massive jump that even with

0:43:22.160 --> 0:43:24.719
<v Speaker 2>the youth on the team and these guys getting experienced,

0:43:24.760 --> 0:43:29.080
<v Speaker 2>it is impossible to see them making that type of

0:43:29.200 --> 0:43:33.960
<v Speaker 2>jump unless they all of a sudden get a transcendent

0:43:34.200 --> 0:43:37.200
<v Speaker 2>talent or two that right now does not appear to

0:43:37.239 --> 0:43:40.120
<v Speaker 2>be in the pipeline or on the US roster. So

0:43:41.239 --> 0:43:46.040
<v Speaker 2>it wasn't a disappointing World Cup, but it obviously was.

0:43:46.640 --> 0:43:48.520
<v Speaker 2>It felt to me like they left some meat on

0:43:48.560 --> 0:43:50.239
<v Speaker 2>the bone. All right. Next, let's play a game.

0:43:50.360 --> 0:43:52.920
<v Speaker 3>Are playing a game right or wrong? First?

0:43:52.920 --> 0:43:54.640
<v Speaker 4>When we've got a maybe I've been watching a little

0:43:54.640 --> 0:43:57.680
<v Speaker 4>bit too much soccer for the Commander's Giants game, tye

0:43:57.840 --> 0:43:59.800
<v Speaker 4>actually ended up being good for both teams.

0:44:00.040 --> 0:44:02.400
<v Speaker 3>Get wrong, the Giants tie, save your season.

0:44:02.520 --> 0:44:04.680
<v Speaker 2>Well, I don't want to say it's save their season,

0:44:04.680 --> 0:44:08.319
<v Speaker 2>but I do agree with you that I don't think

0:44:08.360 --> 0:44:11.719
<v Speaker 2>a tie was a terrible result for either of these

0:44:11.800 --> 0:44:15.359
<v Speaker 2>teams because of how the playoff situation is shaking out.

0:44:15.960 --> 0:44:19.960
<v Speaker 2>So now, for they're in a situation right right now,

0:44:20.400 --> 0:44:23.799
<v Speaker 2>we know in the NFC there's going to be two

0:44:23.880 --> 0:44:28.600
<v Speaker 2>playoff spots for three teams, Giants, Seahawks, and Washington. They

0:44:28.640 --> 0:44:31.640
<v Speaker 2>all have seven wins right now. Giants are seven to

0:44:31.640 --> 0:44:34.520
<v Speaker 2>four and one, Washington seven to five and one, and

0:44:34.600 --> 0:44:39.360
<v Speaker 2>Seattle is seven and five, and they all kept pace,

0:44:39.440 --> 0:44:42.080
<v Speaker 2>if you will, both of them with the tie with

0:44:42.239 --> 0:44:46.279
<v Speaker 2>Seattle to a degree to where now if either of

0:44:46.320 --> 0:44:49.640
<v Speaker 2>them finish with the same number of wins as Seattle,

0:44:50.080 --> 0:44:54.320
<v Speaker 2>they will go to the playoffs over Seattle because Seattle

0:44:54.320 --> 0:44:56.600
<v Speaker 2>would be say ten and seven, and they would be

0:44:56.680 --> 0:44:59.959
<v Speaker 2>ten six and one, and so the tie is helpful there.

0:45:00.280 --> 0:45:02.960
<v Speaker 2>So the question is how many wins do we think

0:45:03.000 --> 0:45:06.120
<v Speaker 2>Seattle has left in them? So Seattle is hosting the

0:45:06.160 --> 0:45:09.000
<v Speaker 2>Panthers next week, that should be a win. They then

0:45:09.080 --> 0:45:12.279
<v Speaker 2>host the Niners. That should be a loss. We get

0:45:12.320 --> 0:45:14.560
<v Speaker 2>the Niners though of the big question a quarterback. They're

0:45:14.560 --> 0:45:17.879
<v Speaker 2>then at the Chiefs. That should be a loss. They

0:45:17.920 --> 0:45:21.960
<v Speaker 2>then host the Jets. That's a coin flip game, but

0:45:21.960 --> 0:45:24.360
<v Speaker 2>the Jets, going all the way across country, call that

0:45:24.440 --> 0:45:26.240
<v Speaker 2>a win. And the final week of the year they

0:45:26.360 --> 0:45:30.000
<v Speaker 2>host the Rams. So I do believe Seattle is going

0:45:30.040 --> 0:45:32.759
<v Speaker 2>to get to ten wins. So then the question is

0:45:32.800 --> 0:45:37.400
<v Speaker 2>for the Giants do they have three more wins in them?

0:45:37.640 --> 0:45:42.160
<v Speaker 2>Their games are hosting the Eagles, at the Commanders, at

0:45:42.200 --> 0:45:46.839
<v Speaker 2>the Vikings, hosting the Colts, and then at the Eagles

0:45:47.400 --> 0:45:52.359
<v Speaker 2>in a game that the Eagles might have everything locked up,

0:45:53.239 --> 0:45:57.960
<v Speaker 2>So that's key for them, right if the Eagles, because

0:45:58.160 --> 0:46:01.879
<v Speaker 2>if the Eagles beat Dallas, then they will essentially lock

0:46:01.960 --> 0:46:05.240
<v Speaker 2>everything up because they'll have the full tiebreaker over Dallas.

0:46:05.280 --> 0:46:07.799
<v Speaker 2>Alas would have four losses. They already have the head

0:46:07.800 --> 0:46:10.319
<v Speaker 2>to head with Minnesota, so even if Minnesota and then

0:46:10.320 --> 0:46:13.040
<v Speaker 2>finished with the same record, Philly would get the one seed.

0:46:13.600 --> 0:46:17.719
<v Speaker 2>So can the Giants get to ten wins? In fact

0:46:17.760 --> 0:46:20.560
<v Speaker 2>of the matter is this and then Washington? What do

0:46:20.600 --> 0:46:22.359
<v Speaker 2>they have left? Let me look at the same thing.

0:46:22.960 --> 0:46:25.960
<v Speaker 2>They have a bye week then, because they only have

0:46:26.040 --> 0:46:29.359
<v Speaker 2>four games to get there the ten wins we're talking about,

0:46:29.600 --> 0:46:33.560
<v Speaker 2>they host the Giants, then they're at the Niners, host

0:46:33.600 --> 0:46:39.040
<v Speaker 2>the Browns, and then host Dallas. That's brutal. I think

0:46:39.120 --> 0:46:42.200
<v Speaker 2>that playoff spot is gonna come down to that Giants

0:46:42.200 --> 0:46:46.480
<v Speaker 2>Commanders game. They both have the tie that will determine

0:46:46.480 --> 0:46:52.080
<v Speaker 2>the tiebreaker. So save their season. It even if they

0:46:52.120 --> 0:46:56.160
<v Speaker 2>had lost, they probably would still have to go beat Washington.

0:46:56.520 --> 0:47:00.400
<v Speaker 2>But now there is the slim chance if Seattle because

0:47:00.400 --> 0:47:04.600
<v Speaker 2>of the tie, if Seattle slips up, that both Washington

0:47:04.719 --> 0:47:08.440
<v Speaker 2>and the Giants could make the postseason. So save their season.

0:47:08.440 --> 0:47:10.840
<v Speaker 2>I'm gonna say wrong, but I think the tie was

0:47:10.840 --> 0:47:12.160
<v Speaker 2>not a terrible result for them.

0:47:12.200 --> 0:47:15.360
<v Speaker 4>Next all right, AJ Brown had a monster or revenge

0:47:15.360 --> 0:47:19.080
<v Speaker 4>game against Tennessee. Tyreek Kal and Devonte Adams put up

0:47:19.160 --> 0:47:22.160
<v Speaker 4>huge games as well. Their former teams definitely missed it.

0:47:22.600 --> 0:47:25.200
<v Speaker 4>Even you gotta admit that you missed Tyreek Hial after

0:47:25.239 --> 0:47:27.120
<v Speaker 4>you saw MBS drop that touchdown pass.

0:47:27.760 --> 0:47:29.840
<v Speaker 2>NBS then did make a couple good catches.

0:47:29.840 --> 0:47:32.720
<v Speaker 3>But yeah, go ahead, yeah, right or wrong? Never trade

0:47:32.760 --> 0:47:33.840
<v Speaker 3>starr receivers.

0:47:34.680 --> 0:47:39.160
<v Speaker 2>Well, I'm gonna say wrong, because how did the Vikings

0:47:39.160 --> 0:47:42.000
<v Speaker 2>get Justin Jefferson. They traded Stefan Diggs and with the

0:47:42.000 --> 0:47:44.480
<v Speaker 2>pick they got for him, they use it on Justin Jefferson.

0:47:44.880 --> 0:47:49.279
<v Speaker 2>What I would say is, unless you have Patrick Mahomes,

0:47:50.440 --> 0:47:55.040
<v Speaker 2>do not trade away star receivers unless you have someone

0:47:55.200 --> 0:48:01.319
<v Speaker 2>ready to immediately replace them. So the PA didn't have

0:48:01.320 --> 0:48:03.880
<v Speaker 2>someone to place Devonte. Now, Christian Watson's playing well the

0:48:03.960 --> 0:48:08.680
<v Speaker 2>last month, eight touchdowns. Last month, I mentioned the second

0:48:08.719 --> 0:48:10.960
<v Speaker 2>time on the show I heard my buddy Danny Parkins

0:48:10.960 --> 0:48:14.360
<v Speaker 2>speculating whether or not could or maybe even Andrew Philiponi

0:48:14.480 --> 0:48:16.560
<v Speaker 2>was listening to their podcast First In Pod, which is

0:48:16.640 --> 0:48:20.760
<v Speaker 2>really good NFL podcast, about whether or not Christian Watson

0:48:20.760 --> 0:48:24.440
<v Speaker 2>could win Offensive Rookie of the Year seemed unfathomable a

0:48:24.480 --> 0:48:27.160
<v Speaker 2>month ago, but eight touchdowns eight touchdowns. So I guess

0:48:27.200 --> 0:48:31.520
<v Speaker 2>it's on the board. It is teams that trade away

0:48:31.640 --> 0:48:36.360
<v Speaker 2>their number one receiver unless again, unless you have Mahomes

0:48:36.360 --> 0:48:39.520
<v Speaker 2>where it doesn't seem to matter. The Chief's still the

0:48:39.560 --> 0:48:42.680
<v Speaker 2>highest scoring team in the league. Yeah, it seems like

0:48:42.719 --> 0:48:45.600
<v Speaker 2>a problem for you. And so I'm gonna I'm not

0:48:45.640 --> 0:48:49.200
<v Speaker 2>gonna say it's right. I'm gonna say it's it's right

0:48:49.320 --> 0:48:53.239
<v Speaker 2>that you never trade them away without someone ready to

0:48:53.320 --> 0:48:55.960
<v Speaker 2>step in right there, And the Vikings got a little lucky.

0:48:56.239 --> 0:48:59.600
<v Speaker 2>I mean, they traded Diggs before they knew who they

0:48:59.640 --> 0:49:01.520
<v Speaker 2>were gonna be able to draft with that pick and

0:49:01.600 --> 0:49:04.440
<v Speaker 2>all of that, but it worked out brilliantly for him. Justin,

0:49:04.480 --> 0:49:06.439
<v Speaker 2>Jefferson's one of the two best receivers in the whole league.

0:49:06.520 --> 0:49:09.120
<v Speaker 4>Next, all right, Mike White and the Jets barely lost

0:49:09.160 --> 0:49:10.760
<v Speaker 4>the ten and two Vikings on the road.

0:49:10.960 --> 0:49:14.040
<v Speaker 3>Still, this team looks pretty legit. Right or wrong, Mike

0:49:14.080 --> 0:49:15.440
<v Speaker 3>White is the Jets' future.

0:49:15.560 --> 0:49:17.520
<v Speaker 2>Oh that's wrong. It's not the Jets.

0:49:17.560 --> 0:49:19.200
<v Speaker 3>If Baker Mayfield want say anything to do with.

0:49:19.360 --> 0:49:22.879
<v Speaker 2>No, that's not what I think. I listen. I I

0:49:22.920 --> 0:49:26.839
<v Speaker 2>think they probably signed Jimmy even though Jimmy's coming off

0:49:26.880 --> 0:49:31.279
<v Speaker 2>another injury and a broken foot. Mike White is a

0:49:31.320 --> 0:49:35.520
<v Speaker 2>good story, and he's good because he's not Zach Wilson,

0:49:36.040 --> 0:49:40.440
<v Speaker 2>who's been was such an abject disaster and now you're

0:49:40.480 --> 0:49:43.200
<v Speaker 2>actually getting your weapons involved and the Jets should have

0:49:43.200 --> 0:49:47.560
<v Speaker 2>won that game. But he's not their future. I'm not

0:49:47.600 --> 0:49:50.200
<v Speaker 2>gonna write him off as having no chance of being

0:49:50.239 --> 0:49:54.319
<v Speaker 2>their future, but I'd say it's ninety ten against my

0:49:54.680 --> 0:49:57.640
<v Speaker 2>If Mike White your Week one starter next year, either

0:49:58.080 --> 0:50:01.360
<v Speaker 2>he goes on a really spectacular run these last five weeks,

0:50:01.680 --> 0:50:05.120
<v Speaker 2>or something disastrous has happened this offseason where you didn't

0:50:05.160 --> 0:50:06.600
<v Speaker 2>figure it out next.

0:50:06.320 --> 0:50:08.440
<v Speaker 4>All right, Aaron Rodgers pulled out a close win against

0:50:08.480 --> 0:50:11.880
<v Speaker 4>Chicago then rubbed it into the Bears fans by saying

0:50:12.200 --> 0:50:14.680
<v Speaker 4>Soldier Field has always been a second home to me.

0:50:15.280 --> 0:50:17.920
<v Speaker 3>Right or wrong, Aaron Rodgers is back wrong.

0:50:18.560 --> 0:50:22.399
<v Speaker 2>Everybody stopped. They were very lucky to win this game,

0:50:22.800 --> 0:50:25.520
<v Speaker 2>and I think it is bad for the Packers that

0:50:25.640 --> 0:50:30.440
<v Speaker 2>they won. Had they lost, you could no longer continue

0:50:30.480 --> 0:50:36.160
<v Speaker 2>with this illusion or delusion. Maybe I should say about

0:50:36.520 --> 0:50:39.960
<v Speaker 2>you potentially making the postseason and you could play Jordan

0:50:40.040 --> 0:50:42.239
<v Speaker 2>Love so you could determine whether or not you want

0:50:42.239 --> 0:50:45.160
<v Speaker 2>to pick up his fifth year option in the offseason. Instead,

0:50:45.200 --> 0:50:48.600
<v Speaker 2>they won, and so now they're gonna pretend like they

0:50:48.600 --> 0:50:51.880
<v Speaker 2>have any chance of making the postseason. So the fact

0:50:51.880 --> 0:50:54.800
<v Speaker 2>of the matter for green Bay is this, they cap

0:50:54.960 --> 0:51:00.319
<v Speaker 2>out at nine wins. If they run the table nine

0:51:00.360 --> 0:51:06.000
<v Speaker 2>to eight, that would lose any tiebreakers with Washington or

0:51:06.040 --> 0:51:08.480
<v Speaker 2>the Giants if they get to nine one. We just

0:51:08.480 --> 0:51:12.719
<v Speaker 2>talked about those teams getting to ten, right, so we

0:51:12.840 --> 0:51:18.040
<v Speaker 2>already know that San Francisco, Dallas, Minnesota, and Philly are

0:51:18.120 --> 0:51:21.080
<v Speaker 2>all getting to nine or more wins. There's also the

0:51:21.200 --> 0:51:24.200
<v Speaker 2>NFC South team, right, So green Bay would have to

0:51:24.239 --> 0:51:27.040
<v Speaker 2>win the rest of its games and would have to

0:51:27.239 --> 0:51:35.000
<v Speaker 2>also hope that Seattle falls apart and Washington or the

0:51:35.080 --> 0:51:39.080
<v Speaker 2>Giants one of them only win one game the rest

0:51:39.080 --> 0:51:43.000
<v Speaker 2>of the way. It's not happened. And so I think

0:51:43.040 --> 0:51:46.920
<v Speaker 2>Aaron Rodgers played well against a terrible Bears defense. I

0:51:46.960 --> 0:51:49.279
<v Speaker 2>do not think he's back, and I do not think

0:51:49.280 --> 0:51:51.440
<v Speaker 2>the Packers have any hope. I think that win was

0:51:51.480 --> 0:51:52.480
<v Speaker 2>actually bad for them.

0:51:52.640 --> 0:51:55.319
<v Speaker 4>Okay, all right, next, are you bet on the row

0:51:55.400 --> 0:51:59.160
<v Speaker 4>favorite Jacks this week? After your betting band was lifted

0:51:59.600 --> 0:52:03.160
<v Speaker 4>and they got blown out forty to fourteen. Right or wrong,

0:52:03.239 --> 0:52:07.120
<v Speaker 4>The Jags band must return, Amen. I warned you said,

0:52:07.200 --> 0:52:10.640
<v Speaker 4>it's the Lions at home. I remember, just like you

0:52:10.680 --> 0:52:13.319
<v Speaker 4>just can't. You never know what the Lions are gonna do.

0:52:13.400 --> 0:52:20.080
<v Speaker 2>Man, the Jags band has to return. We have to.

0:52:20.239 --> 0:52:24.239
<v Speaker 2>It has to come back. That was the most say.

0:52:25.000 --> 0:52:30.640
<v Speaker 2>Zay Jones just kept dropping passes, Travis ettin fumble, and Jerry.

0:52:30.400 --> 0:52:33.120
<v Speaker 3>Golf probably had his best game as a quarterback ever.

0:52:33.719 --> 0:52:37.000
<v Speaker 2>Certainly in a long time. That was I mean, they

0:52:37.040 --> 0:52:42.440
<v Speaker 2>lost forty to fourteen. That game was so disheartening. I

0:52:42.480 --> 0:52:45.919
<v Speaker 2>mean it was so frustrating to watch. Trevor didn't even

0:52:45.920 --> 0:52:51.680
<v Speaker 2>play poorly and they just got annihilated. So yeah, put

0:52:51.719 --> 0:52:55.319
<v Speaker 2>the band back on. That's so disappointed. You know, it's

0:52:55.320 --> 0:52:58.880
<v Speaker 2>not disappointing that Anthony Davis might be one of the

0:52:58.880 --> 0:53:01.800
<v Speaker 2>three best players in the Again, we'll answer your questions

0:53:01.800 --> 0:53:03.440
<v Speaker 2>in the chat, one of which I know is on

0:53:03.480 --> 0:53:11.359
<v Speaker 2>the Lakers. We'll do that next. We'll try welcome back

0:53:11.400 --> 0:53:15.680
<v Speaker 2>in what's right with Nick Wright As I'm monitoring Japan Croatia,

0:53:15.680 --> 0:53:19.840
<v Speaker 2>which is in the seventieth minute tied at one apiece.

0:53:20.120 --> 0:53:21.880
<v Speaker 2>So we're gonna go through this quickly. So I can

0:53:21.960 --> 0:53:23.839
<v Speaker 2>see the end of that match. All right, demons, let's

0:53:23.880 --> 0:53:26.360
<v Speaker 2>read the questions from the chat Batman asked.

0:53:26.440 --> 0:53:29.200
<v Speaker 4>Can Lebron and Anthony Davis both finish this season as

0:53:29.200 --> 0:53:30.840
<v Speaker 4>the top five player in your opinion?

0:53:31.320 --> 0:53:34.760
<v Speaker 2>No, I listen, I don't think Lebron's top five guy anymore.

0:53:35.440 --> 0:53:38.600
<v Speaker 2>And we just have to now we can talk more

0:53:38.600 --> 0:53:40.279
<v Speaker 2>about the Lakers in just a moment. What are you

0:53:40.320 --> 0:53:40.880
<v Speaker 2>laughing about?

0:53:41.480 --> 0:53:42.919
<v Speaker 3>I mean, Batman, he watches our show.

0:53:42.960 --> 0:53:49.440
<v Speaker 2>It's pretty dope. Oh yeah, that is cool. So Giannis, Luca,

0:53:52.600 --> 0:54:01.360
<v Speaker 2>Steph KD, Tatum right now all have a claim that

0:54:01.400 --> 0:54:07.160
<v Speaker 2>they are unquestionably top five. Right Anthony Davis is trying

0:54:07.200 --> 0:54:09.640
<v Speaker 2>to push one of them out, and the way he's

0:54:09.680 --> 0:54:12.080
<v Speaker 2>been playing lately, he would be pushing one of them out.

0:54:12.840 --> 0:54:15.440
<v Speaker 2>But so let's just say eighty's at six.

0:54:16.160 --> 0:54:16.799
<v Speaker 3>You know what I mean?

0:54:17.480 --> 0:54:20.320
<v Speaker 2>Eighty So you have to me. You have Giannis is

0:54:20.360 --> 0:54:23.480
<v Speaker 2>a clear best player in the world. I believe Luca

0:54:23.640 --> 0:54:26.399
<v Speaker 2>a clear second best player in the world. You then

0:54:26.440 --> 0:54:30.360
<v Speaker 2>have three guys who have an argument for the third

0:54:30.360 --> 0:54:34.440
<v Speaker 2>best spot, third best guy, Steph KD and Tatum right now.

0:54:35.360 --> 0:54:39.880
<v Speaker 2>You then have the next group of guys, which are Jokic,

0:54:41.080 --> 0:54:45.239
<v Speaker 2>Ja and Anthony Davis. To me, the way Ad is

0:54:45.280 --> 0:54:47.480
<v Speaker 2>playing right now, those are the guys six through eight.

0:54:47.719 --> 0:54:51.120
<v Speaker 2>I'm going off the top of my head, Lebron is

0:54:51.160 --> 0:54:55.480
<v Speaker 2>in that very next tier nine through twelve, somewhere in there.

0:54:55.800 --> 0:54:58.960
<v Speaker 2>So Lebron is I mean, listen, he almost you know,

0:54:59.040 --> 0:55:01.439
<v Speaker 2>once a week he has the best game anyone's ever

0:55:01.480 --> 0:55:04.120
<v Speaker 2>had other than himself for you know, at this point

0:55:04.120 --> 0:55:06.799
<v Speaker 2>in his career. But he's not. I mean, he's in

0:55:06.880 --> 0:55:11.239
<v Speaker 2>year twenty. He's he just passed magic and assists and

0:55:11.280 --> 0:55:14.320
<v Speaker 2>he's still doing these types of things. But what's interesting

0:55:14.400 --> 0:55:20.960
<v Speaker 2>for the Lakers is this. If Ad keeps this up,

0:55:21.800 --> 0:55:24.839
<v Speaker 2>they are not a team that can be discounted. If

0:55:24.920 --> 0:55:29.680
<v Speaker 2>Lebron is your second best guy, you're in amazing shape.

0:55:30.280 --> 0:55:34.399
<v Speaker 2>And credit word's due. Russ has played really well since

0:55:34.440 --> 0:55:36.880
<v Speaker 2>he started coming off the bench. He's not turning the

0:55:36.880 --> 0:55:40.840
<v Speaker 2>ball over, he's being smarter. And when it comes to Lebron,

0:55:41.800 --> 0:55:46.120
<v Speaker 2>I told you guys, everyone's like, oh, Lebron the worst

0:55:46.160 --> 0:55:49.360
<v Speaker 2>three point shooter in the league, which he was the

0:55:49.520 --> 0:55:51.440
<v Speaker 2>until he got hurt and missed that little bit of time.

0:55:51.920 --> 0:55:54.640
<v Speaker 2>And I told you guys, he's gonna have a stretch

0:55:54.640 --> 0:55:57.080
<v Speaker 2>where he shoots forty five percent. While I was from three,

0:55:57.160 --> 0:55:59.960
<v Speaker 2>I was wrong. It's a strutch where he shoots fifty percent. Yeah,

0:56:00.520 --> 0:56:03.200
<v Speaker 2>And so now he's up to thirty four percent for

0:56:03.280 --> 0:56:05.839
<v Speaker 2>the season, which is right around his career average. He's

0:56:05.880 --> 0:56:08.280
<v Speaker 2>going to finish the year round thirty five percent from three,

0:56:08.600 --> 0:56:11.080
<v Speaker 2>and it's gonna be despite the fact he'll never really

0:56:11.120 --> 0:56:13.520
<v Speaker 2>shoot thirty five percent from three. He'll shoot. You'll have

0:56:14.320 --> 0:56:17.560
<v Speaker 2>some one for eight games and some five for seven games,

0:56:17.640 --> 0:56:20.400
<v Speaker 2>and it will even out in that regard. But the

0:56:20.480 --> 0:56:25.040
<v Speaker 2>Lakers are interesting again, and that game against the Bucks

0:56:25.360 --> 0:56:29.000
<v Speaker 2>was their best win since Game three of the first

0:56:29.120 --> 0:56:32.799
<v Speaker 2>round the year of their title defense against Phoenix, the

0:56:32.840 --> 0:56:35.560
<v Speaker 2>game that Anthony The next game, Anthony Davis got hurt

0:56:35.600 --> 0:56:36.600
<v Speaker 2>and the whole thing went to hell.

0:56:37.160 --> 0:56:39.719
<v Speaker 4>All right, next, all right, Jackson says, I need to

0:56:39.800 --> 0:56:43.040
<v Speaker 4>understand the double standard with teams like Miami and Buffalo

0:56:43.560 --> 0:56:46.760
<v Speaker 4>two had one bad game in two months and everyone bounces.

0:56:47.239 --> 0:56:49.480
<v Speaker 3>Josh Allen has several in the last month and no

0:56:49.520 --> 0:56:49.959
<v Speaker 3>one cares.

0:56:49.960 --> 0:56:52.000
<v Speaker 2>All right, First of all, I care now the Josh

0:56:52.080 --> 0:56:59.560
<v Speaker 2>Allen thing, but this is it is preconceived notions cause

0:57:00.920 --> 0:57:06.560
<v Speaker 2>analytical bias, but sometimes they're for a good reason. We

0:57:06.840 --> 0:57:12.680
<v Speaker 2>cannot act as if what you have been up to

0:57:12.719 --> 0:57:17.080
<v Speaker 2>this point in your career should not factor into whether

0:57:17.240 --> 0:57:21.200
<v Speaker 2>or not we believe stretches of excellent play or stretches

0:57:21.240 --> 0:57:27.800
<v Speaker 2>of awful play are concerning or calls for optimism or neither.

0:57:28.400 --> 0:57:32.000
<v Speaker 2>So Mahomes last year had a month where he played poorly.

0:57:33.040 --> 0:57:36.480
<v Speaker 2>I was never concerned about him because he had prior

0:57:36.520 --> 0:57:39.600
<v Speaker 2>to that three and a half years of quarterback play

0:57:39.600 --> 0:57:44.200
<v Speaker 2>at the highest level we've ever seen. Tua had two

0:57:44.440 --> 0:57:49.280
<v Speaker 2>years as a bad starting quarterback, then he had this

0:57:49.320 --> 0:57:52.080
<v Speaker 2>stretch start the year. It's going to need to be

0:57:52.120 --> 0:57:56.360
<v Speaker 2>more than eight games for us two for at least

0:57:56.360 --> 0:57:59.960
<v Speaker 2>for me to say, Okay, he's one of those guys.

0:58:00.600 --> 0:58:05.320
<v Speaker 2>He's a great player. Josh Allen, we have seen what

0:58:05.520 --> 0:58:09.560
<v Speaker 2>his highs are, so we know Josh Allen can be

0:58:09.600 --> 0:58:12.120
<v Speaker 2>the quarterback of one of the best teams in football,

0:58:12.440 --> 0:58:15.000
<v Speaker 2>So you give him more benefit of the doubt. Now,

0:58:15.240 --> 0:58:17.640
<v Speaker 2>what I also think with Josh Allen is we have

0:58:17.760 --> 0:58:21.600
<v Speaker 2>seen throughout his entire career high highs and low lows,

0:58:22.040 --> 0:58:23.560
<v Speaker 2>And I'm one of the only people in the media

0:58:23.560 --> 0:58:25.520
<v Speaker 2>that seems to care about the low lows. But they've

0:58:25.520 --> 0:58:30.360
<v Speaker 2>been there, so I do think body of work really matters,

0:58:31.080 --> 0:58:33.760
<v Speaker 2>and that I mean, that's to me, that's not really

0:58:33.760 --> 0:58:36.960
<v Speaker 2>a double standard, or it is a double standard, but

0:58:37.080 --> 0:58:41.160
<v Speaker 2>it is a fair double standard. It is uh, it

0:58:41.240 --> 0:58:43.920
<v Speaker 2>is have you earned the benefit of the doubt yet

0:58:44.080 --> 0:58:45.440
<v Speaker 2>or not? Next?

0:58:45.840 --> 0:58:48.800
<v Speaker 4>All right, King of Fedora's asks. Will Brandon Staley be

0:58:48.880 --> 0:58:50.120
<v Speaker 4>fired after this season?

0:58:50.360 --> 0:58:51.920
<v Speaker 3>No reason? No reason.

0:58:51.920 --> 0:58:54.200
<v Speaker 4>A defensive minded head coach should have one of the

0:58:54.200 --> 0:58:57.680
<v Speaker 4>worst defenses in the NFL back to back years.

0:58:58.000 --> 0:59:01.640
<v Speaker 2>Okay, if they missed the pas, I do wonderful fire

0:59:01.720 --> 0:59:05.520
<v Speaker 2>him now. Chargers ownership is pretty cheap by nature, doesn't

0:59:05.600 --> 0:59:09.080
<v Speaker 2>like to move on from coaches early. I think probably

0:59:09.120 --> 0:59:12.360
<v Speaker 2>he gets another year, and they've been so injured. But

0:59:12.440 --> 0:59:19.120
<v Speaker 2>that loss against the Raiders was unacceptable by any measure. Unacceptable.

0:59:19.720 --> 0:59:25.640
<v Speaker 2>And it's gonna be if the Jets or the Patriots

0:59:25.680 --> 0:59:30.880
<v Speaker 2>make the playoffs and the Chargers don't. And by the way,

0:59:30.920 --> 0:59:34.080
<v Speaker 2>that's what would happen. If the Chargers miss, it will

0:59:34.080 --> 0:59:36.520
<v Speaker 2>be because the Jets or the Patriots take their spot,

0:59:36.640 --> 0:59:38.440
<v Speaker 2>or I guess the Raiders you know, went out and

0:59:38.760 --> 0:59:44.440
<v Speaker 2>do it. That is going to be I've liked Staley previously.

0:59:44.600 --> 0:59:47.480
<v Speaker 2>He obviously hasn't done a great job this year, and

0:59:48.120 --> 0:59:52.360
<v Speaker 2>that team if your Brandon Staley, what you're worried about

0:59:52.560 --> 0:59:56.080
<v Speaker 2>is that Chargers ownership is going to for the first time,

0:59:56.480 --> 0:59:59.320
<v Speaker 2>maybe ever, not be cheap and go out and hire

0:59:59.360 --> 1:00:03.640
<v Speaker 2>Sean Payton. Because if I'm Sean Payton coaching Justin Herbert,

1:00:03.640 --> 1:00:05.640
<v Speaker 2>and that's what would concern me as a Chiefs fan,

1:00:06.040 --> 1:00:08.160
<v Speaker 2>Justin Herbert getting Sean Pater as a head coach.

1:00:08.560 --> 1:00:12.000
<v Speaker 4>Next, Tony ass are the Raiders better than the Chargers

1:00:12.040 --> 1:00:12.960
<v Speaker 4>despite their record?

1:00:13.680 --> 1:00:15.160
<v Speaker 2>No, I don't think they're better. I think they have

1:00:15.240 --> 1:00:17.640
<v Speaker 2>similar issues. I do think the Raiders, though, when it's clicking,

1:00:17.680 --> 1:00:20.000
<v Speaker 2>look like a good team. Josh Jacobs looks like the

1:00:20.000 --> 1:00:22.600
<v Speaker 2>best running back in football, Devonte's doing great things. I

1:00:22.600 --> 1:00:25.200
<v Speaker 2>don't trust their coach, and I don't really trust their quarterback,

1:00:25.520 --> 1:00:27.320
<v Speaker 2>and I don't love their defense, but at times they

1:00:27.320 --> 1:00:28.600
<v Speaker 2>can look really good. Next.

1:00:28.760 --> 1:00:31.000
<v Speaker 4>All right, Marco's asked Nick, do you think one day

1:00:31.080 --> 1:00:33.160
<v Speaker 4>soccer will be as big in the US as the

1:00:33.240 --> 1:00:36.480
<v Speaker 4>other great as the other great American sports? How much

1:00:36.520 --> 1:00:38.560
<v Speaker 4>of a fan how much of a fan number increase

1:00:38.600 --> 1:00:40.360
<v Speaker 4>do you expect until twenty twenty six?

1:00:40.800 --> 1:00:43.840
<v Speaker 2>I don't know. About in the short term. On a

1:00:43.920 --> 1:00:46.760
<v Speaker 2>long enough horizon, do I think soccer could become the

1:00:46.800 --> 1:00:50.640
<v Speaker 2>third most popular sport? Could it pass baseball? I think

1:00:50.680 --> 1:00:54.000
<v Speaker 2>it could. I think what it is going to take

1:00:55.200 --> 1:01:03.520
<v Speaker 2>is a Lebron level star, meaning one of the very

1:01:03.600 --> 1:01:08.960
<v Speaker 2>best players in the world, maybe not Lebron level, KD level,

1:01:09.280 --> 1:01:12.640
<v Speaker 2>one of the best players ever, even if he doesn't

1:01:12.640 --> 1:01:15.520
<v Speaker 2>have to be the best ever being an American. What

1:01:15.600 --> 1:01:22.000
<v Speaker 2>it is going to take is an American with charisman

1:01:22.720 --> 1:01:27.800
<v Speaker 2>personality starring for one of the best clubs in Europe.

1:01:28.720 --> 1:01:32.960
<v Speaker 2>The way to make soccer popular here is not necessarily

1:01:33.000 --> 1:01:36.320
<v Speaker 2>the MLS, because Americans like to watch the best of

1:01:36.360 --> 1:01:39.360
<v Speaker 2>the best. But if an American can go over to

1:01:39.440 --> 1:01:42.880
<v Speaker 2>the premier league and kick ass that player does not

1:01:43.000 --> 1:01:47.800
<v Speaker 2>yet exist. It's not gonna be Poolicit, who's great for

1:01:47.880 --> 1:01:50.959
<v Speaker 2>an American but is not one of the twenty best

1:01:50.960 --> 1:01:53.840
<v Speaker 2>players in the world. It is going to take someone

1:01:54.520 --> 1:02:00.280
<v Speaker 2>that is as good as maybe don't have to be

1:02:00.320 --> 1:02:06.480
<v Speaker 2>in Bope, but as good as Benzoma is right now

1:02:07.600 --> 1:02:09.800
<v Speaker 2>as an American. It's gonna be hard to do next.

1:02:10.280 --> 1:02:12.880
<v Speaker 4>All right, Alan says, why does demands they have pants

1:02:12.920 --> 1:02:14.080
<v Speaker 4>on under his pants?

1:02:14.240 --> 1:02:15.360
<v Speaker 2>Well, why don't you answer that.

1:02:15.480 --> 1:02:18.840
<v Speaker 4>It's called outside, dude. These are long John's. They're like

1:02:20.040 --> 1:02:23.320
<v Speaker 4>or you can call them thermals. I learned that thermals

1:02:23.320 --> 1:02:27.080
<v Speaker 4>are or like wind patterns in the air that like

1:02:27.200 --> 1:02:31.520
<v Speaker 4>certain birds follow. Okay, like when some people go paaras sailing,

1:02:31.840 --> 1:02:34.760
<v Speaker 4>they use like these vultures or something to find the

1:02:34.760 --> 1:02:37.320
<v Speaker 4>thermals so they'll be able to glide smoothly.

1:02:38.120 --> 1:02:39.360
<v Speaker 2>What does that do with your pants?

1:02:39.520 --> 1:02:41.920
<v Speaker 3>They're called thermals, but.

1:02:42.800 --> 1:02:45.920
<v Speaker 2>I understand that. But they but so it's just they're.

1:02:45.560 --> 1:02:48.800
<v Speaker 3>The same name name. But it's also got something to

1:02:48.880 --> 1:02:50.600
<v Speaker 3>do with the weather, so they're kind of related.

1:02:50.720 --> 1:02:53.120
<v Speaker 2>Oh no, I got you. Listen. Monte has done hard

1:02:53.120 --> 1:02:57.440
<v Speaker 2>work in his life. Used to build fences, was briefly. Uh,

1:02:58.360 --> 1:03:02.400
<v Speaker 2>well it doesn't matter. I had other work that was outdoors. Uh.

1:03:02.440 --> 1:03:06.480
<v Speaker 2>And will not dress in a way to where he's

1:03:06.600 --> 1:03:11.000
<v Speaker 2>uncomfortable no matter what people think of the fashion. Did

1:03:11.040 --> 1:03:15.680
<v Speaker 2>you see the picture someone Texas of mahomes. Yeah, mahomes

1:03:15.680 --> 1:03:20.960
<v Speaker 2>wearing the shorts and the hoodie that demans special. I mean, listen,

1:03:21.320 --> 1:03:23.880
<v Speaker 2>you and mahomes are around the same age. It might

1:03:23.880 --> 1:03:25.040
<v Speaker 2>be a gen Z thing.

1:03:24.920 --> 1:03:28.960
<v Speaker 3>It's not a gen Z thing. Man, what you gotta

1:03:29.040 --> 1:03:31.320
<v Speaker 3>stop saying that. What do you mean it's not a

1:03:31.360 --> 1:03:34.400
<v Speaker 3>gen Z people wear hoodies in shorts.

1:03:34.480 --> 1:03:37.040
<v Speaker 2>I think gen Z guys do. I don't think it's

1:03:37.040 --> 1:03:37.640
<v Speaker 2>a bad thing.

1:03:38.000 --> 1:03:41.640
<v Speaker 4>I think I just saw Petrushka's husband Nick outside with

1:03:41.960 --> 1:03:45.120
<v Speaker 4>a with hoodies in a hoodie low in shorts.

1:03:45.200 --> 1:03:48.160
<v Speaker 2>Okay, well, I'm to check that real quick. Also, the

1:03:48.200 --> 1:03:52.320
<v Speaker 2>audience doesn't know Patrushka and Nick own the ice cream

1:03:52.360 --> 1:03:55.320
<v Speaker 2>shop right next door to where we do this podcast

1:03:55.360 --> 1:03:57.919
<v Speaker 2>from sugar Hill Creamery, which is the best ice cream

1:03:57.920 --> 1:03:58.520
<v Speaker 2>shop in the world.

1:03:58.600 --> 1:04:00.800
<v Speaker 4>But go ahead, Dave just as all up and said,

1:04:00.840 --> 1:04:03.919
<v Speaker 4>why not just get pants that cover up your legs? Well,

1:04:04.120 --> 1:04:06.640
<v Speaker 4>because I've worn the one pair of pants that I

1:04:06.680 --> 1:04:09.080
<v Speaker 4>have that cover up my legs for the last three

1:04:09.120 --> 1:04:11.760
<v Speaker 4>episodes of the podcast, so I wanted to switch it

1:04:11.840 --> 1:04:12.400
<v Speaker 4>up a little bit.

1:04:12.480 --> 1:04:18.960
<v Speaker 2>Demonse doesn't have an expansive wardrobe, and he recently bought

1:04:19.240 --> 1:04:22.120
<v Speaker 2>a piece of clothing on the internet. Yeah, and it

1:04:22.200 --> 1:04:24.840
<v Speaker 2>has not yet been delivered. It was six weeks ago,

1:04:25.440 --> 1:04:28.160
<v Speaker 2>and he's so angry about it. He refuses to spend

1:04:28.200 --> 1:04:31.000
<v Speaker 2>money on any other clothes. Is that about right?

1:04:31.160 --> 1:04:32.880
<v Speaker 4>I mean, yeah, I do think that I'm going to

1:04:32.920 --> 1:04:36.320
<v Speaker 4>request my money at this point, it's yo. On the

1:04:36.400 --> 1:04:41.440
<v Speaker 4>top of their website, it says basic shipping takes five

1:04:41.480 --> 1:04:42.800
<v Speaker 4>to seven business days.

1:04:42.960 --> 1:04:45.640
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I ordered only like ninth of November.

1:04:45.720 --> 1:04:47.400
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I don't think you're getting it, buddy, I think

1:04:47.440 --> 1:04:48.120
<v Speaker 2>they screwed you.

1:04:48.400 --> 1:04:51.200
<v Speaker 3>I'm getting something. You're okay, all right?

1:04:51.800 --> 1:04:55.960
<v Speaker 2>So Gabe Goodwin says, we'll send some pants along with

1:04:55.960 --> 1:04:58.040
<v Speaker 2>the big hat. Yeah, do that. And by the way,

1:04:58.320 --> 1:05:01.280
<v Speaker 2>Joy Taylor tried to bite our stuff, saying she wants

1:05:01.320 --> 1:05:03.440
<v Speaker 2>one of those big hats. So it's a race to

1:05:03.480 --> 1:05:06.360
<v Speaker 2>see if the Blue Duck production company or a Fox

1:05:06.400 --> 1:05:09.200
<v Speaker 2>Sports production can get a big hat in our hand

1:05:09.240 --> 1:05:13.040
<v Speaker 2>before Joy gets hers. Because if Joy gets it before us,

1:05:13.080 --> 1:05:16.360
<v Speaker 2>everyone's gonna say we're biting Joy's style and that's unacceptable.

1:05:16.440 --> 1:05:19.040
<v Speaker 2>Today was a great show. You did great. It's wonderful

1:05:19.040 --> 1:05:22.000
<v Speaker 2>to be back. I'm gonna watch the end of Japan Croatia. Also,

1:05:22.080 --> 1:05:24.280
<v Speaker 2>by the way, real quick, let me go ahead and check.

1:05:24.760 --> 1:05:28.800
<v Speaker 2>We are still on the hunt for one hundred thousand

1:05:28.840 --> 1:05:33.680
<v Speaker 2>YouTube subscribers. We are sitting presently at right under eighty

1:05:33.680 --> 1:05:37.120
<v Speaker 2>eight though, yep, So let's get to ninety thousand this

1:05:37.280 --> 1:05:40.800
<v Speaker 2>week and then have a big December push to try

1:05:40.800 --> 1:05:44.560
<v Speaker 2>to get to one hundred thousand so demons can get

1:05:44.560 --> 1:05:46.760
<v Speaker 2>the thousand dollars bonus. On the flip side, maybe we

1:05:46.880 --> 1:05:48.520
<v Speaker 2>come just short, so I have to give them that

1:05:48.560 --> 1:05:50.480
<v Speaker 2>thousand dollars bonus because I don't know if you've heard

1:05:50.520 --> 1:05:52.640
<v Speaker 2>the beginning of the show, but this was not a

1:05:52.640 --> 1:05:56.400
<v Speaker 2>great weekend for me from the gambling perspective. All right, everybody,

1:05:56.560 --> 1:05:59.560
<v Speaker 2>wonderful show. Talk to you guys on Thursday for our

1:05:59.600 --> 1:06:03.240
<v Speaker 2>next show. Oh, what's right,
