We thought 20 00:01:28,760 --> 00:01:31,800 Speaker 2: it might be, you know that he was month to 21 00:01:31,959 --> 00:01:35,240 Speaker 2: month certainly was gonna be weak to week. Turned out 22 00:01:35,280 --> 00:01:39,080 Speaker 2: only it had to be day to day. Demonse. I'm 23 00:01:39,120 --> 00:01:41,880 Speaker 2: thrilled your back. I'm happy you're not having to go 24 00:01:41,959 --> 00:01:45,959 Speaker 2: under the knife. I didn't tell the audience what the 25 00:01:46,080 --> 00:01:49,000 Speaker 2: injury was. If you want to share it, you can. 26 00:01:49,160 --> 00:01:51,760 Speaker 2: I just said you hurt your leg playing basketball. I 27 00:01:51,760 --> 00:01:53,520 Speaker 2: don't know if you want to share your private medical 28 00:01:53,560 --> 00:01:54,840 Speaker 2: info or not leave it as. 29 00:01:54,760 --> 00:01:58,559 Speaker 3: It is just hurting for all types of different things. 30 00:01:58,720 --> 00:01:59,960 Speaker 3: You A. 31 00:02:03,560 --> 00:02:06,800 Speaker 2: So Demanse hurt himself playing basketball. We thought he was 32 00:02:06,840 --> 00:02:09,240 Speaker 2: gonna have to have surgery, but he doesn't, and so 33 00:02:09,320 --> 00:02:11,880 Speaker 2: he's got a cool cast. Pretty soon he's gonna be 34 00:02:12,400 --> 00:02:15,200 Speaker 2: one of the best one legged scooter guys around Los 35 00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:20,320 Speaker 2: Angeles and he's gonna be cooking and so uh. I also, accidentally, 36 00:02:20,440 --> 00:02:23,639 Speaker 2: I think, Demonse, because I felt so sick for you 37 00:02:23,720 --> 00:02:27,480 Speaker 2: that you were injured. If you review the tape from Thursday, 38 00:02:27,880 --> 00:02:31,880 Speaker 2: I almost I think recommended people slide into your DMS. 39 00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:33,920 Speaker 2: And then I realized what I was saying, and so 40 00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:36,400 Speaker 2: I tried to pull it back. I didn't really know 41 00:02:36,440 --> 00:02:38,320 Speaker 2: what I was saying. I just felt sick that you 42 00:02:38,320 --> 00:02:40,760 Speaker 2: were on the other side of the country, in massive 43 00:02:40,840 --> 00:02:44,440 Speaker 2: pain and probably lonely and sad. Uh, but I'm glad 44 00:02:44,440 --> 00:02:48,240 Speaker 2: you're back. It's great to see you, and we got 45 00:02:48,280 --> 00:02:52,040 Speaker 2: a lot to do today. So let's get Oh yeah, 46 00:02:52,080 --> 00:02:56,000 Speaker 2: there we go. I love to hear that. I love 47 00:02:56,120 --> 00:02:59,079 Speaker 2: to hear that. All right, so demanse, Uh, let's get 48 00:02:59,120 --> 00:03:02,680 Speaker 2: to the uh news of Championship weekend, which was, of course, 49 00:03:02,800 --> 00:03:04,000 Speaker 2: my guy beating your guy. 50 00:03:04,240 --> 00:03:07,400 Speaker 3: But go ahead, your guy beating my guy. Honestly, man, 51 00:03:07,440 --> 00:03:09,600 Speaker 3: I gotta say this is a win win situation for me. 52 00:03:09,800 --> 00:03:13,600 Speaker 3: Lamar's not getting I'm glad Mahomes can. So obviously Mahomes 53 00:03:13,600 --> 00:03:16,320 Speaker 3: and the Chiefs are going back to the Super Bowl. Uh. 54 00:03:16,560 --> 00:03:19,200 Speaker 3: Nobody saw this coming, not even you. You were kind 55 00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:20,520 Speaker 3: of down him a couple of weeks ago. You thought 56 00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:21,480 Speaker 3: the Bills are going to beat. 57 00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:21,840 Speaker 2: Him to stop it. 58 00:03:22,120 --> 00:03:27,000 Speaker 3: But uh, go ahead, who do you think deserves the 59 00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:31,840 Speaker 3: most credit for the success between Reid, Mahomes and you. 60 00:03:33,760 --> 00:03:37,440 Speaker 2: Okay, so I obviously don't deserve credit for the success 61 00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:44,480 Speaker 2: I do deserve credit for having this crazy belief that 62 00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:50,400 Speaker 2: we're gonna not pretend all of NFL history started September 63 00:03:50,480 --> 00:03:54,920 Speaker 2: seventh of this year. And this is where I want 64 00:03:54,920 --> 00:03:59,760 Speaker 2: to get into the chiefs conversation, because it has been 65 00:03:59,840 --> 00:04:08,200 Speaker 2: maddening all season. It has been beyond maddening through the 66 00:04:08,200 --> 00:04:11,640 Speaker 2: first two rounds of the playoffs, and then this morning 67 00:04:12,560 --> 00:04:19,560 Speaker 2: I found myself even angrier. And so, you know, life 68 00:04:19,560 --> 00:04:24,880 Speaker 2: works in mysterious ways. I was woken up at five 69 00:04:24,960 --> 00:04:31,200 Speaker 2: in the morning today because Dexter, our dog, who sleeps 70 00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:35,479 Speaker 2: on the I don't know the entry level of the 71 00:04:35,520 --> 00:04:39,320 Speaker 2: house and has a nice little area but he's gated off. 72 00:04:40,880 --> 00:04:43,799 Speaker 2: Just decided nope, I'm ready to get up and found 73 00:04:43,839 --> 00:04:46,480 Speaker 2: a way to open up his gate. Came and laid 74 00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:49,719 Speaker 2: right next to me where I sleep on the ground, 75 00:04:50,040 --> 00:04:52,520 Speaker 2: and he was just laying there looking at me like 76 00:04:52,760 --> 00:04:55,400 Speaker 2: I want to be taken out. I want to hang out. 77 00:04:55,680 --> 00:04:58,760 Speaker 2: So I got up early this morning, very early, and 78 00:04:58,760 --> 00:05:00,960 Speaker 2: I had nothing to do, so I'm like, you know 79 00:05:01,040 --> 00:05:05,240 Speaker 2: what I haven't Yesterday was so busy and hectic with 80 00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:10,680 Speaker 2: the TV show. I haven't listened to all my favorite 81 00:05:10,880 --> 00:05:15,599 Speaker 2: NFL recap podcasts that I usually listen to you know 82 00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:20,080 Speaker 2: throughout Monday and then into Tuesday. So I gave them 83 00:05:20,080 --> 00:05:24,760 Speaker 2: a you know, gave them a whirl. And I can't 84 00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:29,279 Speaker 2: believe what I heard from some of my favorite analysts 85 00:05:29,480 --> 00:05:35,440 Speaker 2: about this football game. I cannot believe that as the 86 00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:42,480 Speaker 2: Chiefs are twelve days away from playing in the last 87 00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:48,359 Speaker 2: game of the year, the conversation surrounding them is still 88 00:05:49,880 --> 00:05:54,680 Speaker 2: what they don't do great, rather than recognizing what they 89 00:05:54,720 --> 00:06:00,200 Speaker 2: have done this postseason. The Kansas City Chiefs entered this 90 00:06:00,279 --> 00:06:07,479 Speaker 2: postseason and proved they had the roster, versatility and depth 91 00:06:08,480 --> 00:06:16,680 Speaker 2: two play three totally different styles of playoff games in 92 00:06:16,720 --> 00:06:23,960 Speaker 2: any conditions in any setting against the hands down three 93 00:06:24,200 --> 00:06:29,480 Speaker 2: best other teams in the AFC, and they kicked all 94 00:06:29,760 --> 00:06:36,560 Speaker 2: of their asses. Okay, Round one, Miami, Do we have 95 00:06:36,640 --> 00:06:41,920 Speaker 2: a team that is tough enough and built with enough 96 00:06:42,160 --> 00:06:46,680 Speaker 2: depth that we can handle one of the three coldest 97 00:06:46,720 --> 00:06:50,920 Speaker 2: football games ever played and make it look like it's 98 00:06:50,960 --> 00:06:55,279 Speaker 2: a normal game. Yes we can. Can they absolutely not 99 00:06:56,400 --> 00:07:04,240 Speaker 2: check one Buffalo? Can we totally throw at Buffalo a 100 00:07:04,400 --> 00:07:10,640 Speaker 2: defensive game plan Josh Allen has never seen before where 101 00:07:11,080 --> 00:07:15,760 Speaker 2: we just give him the underneath, give it to him 102 00:07:16,160 --> 00:07:20,120 Speaker 2: all day, never take it away. Dare you to do 103 00:07:20,240 --> 00:07:25,240 Speaker 2: it while not allowing anything over the top and on 104 00:07:25,320 --> 00:07:30,200 Speaker 2: the flip side our allegedly broken offense. Can it go 105 00:07:30,440 --> 00:07:33,520 Speaker 2: up and down the field? And this was the most 106 00:07:33,720 --> 00:07:41,840 Speaker 2: underrated stat of this postseason. Can we average nearly nine 107 00:07:42,080 --> 00:07:46,960 Speaker 2: yards per play until the kneel downs against that Bills team, 108 00:07:48,160 --> 00:07:52,040 Speaker 2: the most of any playoff game of the Mahomes era? Yes? 109 00:07:52,640 --> 00:07:57,200 Speaker 2: Can we dominate that game where we're underdogs on the 110 00:07:57,320 --> 00:08:00,840 Speaker 2: road against a team that every one in the media 111 00:08:00,880 --> 00:08:04,240 Speaker 2: but me thought might win the Super Bowl, that everyone 112 00:08:04,280 --> 00:08:11,280 Speaker 2: in the media swore was a legitimate championship contender with 113 00:08:11,360 --> 00:08:14,120 Speaker 2: a legitimate MVP quarterback, that was the hottest team in 114 00:08:14,160 --> 00:08:18,480 Speaker 2: the league. Can we dominate that game so thoroughly that 115 00:08:18,560 --> 00:08:23,320 Speaker 2: we fumble the ball at the one yard line going 116 00:08:23,400 --> 00:08:28,240 Speaker 2: into score and win anyway? Yes, we can, despite Buffalo 117 00:08:28,560 --> 00:08:32,280 Speaker 2: never turning it over. Yep, we can do that. And 118 00:08:32,320 --> 00:08:37,400 Speaker 2: then Baltimore, can we design in six days a game 119 00:08:37,480 --> 00:08:42,319 Speaker 2: plan that is the polar opposite of what Buffalo did 120 00:08:42,520 --> 00:08:47,800 Speaker 2: Buffalo's game plan. Instead of daring them to take the underneath, 121 00:08:48,400 --> 00:08:51,679 Speaker 2: instead of giving them the running lanes to protect over 122 00:08:51,720 --> 00:08:56,480 Speaker 2: the top, do the exact opposite. Leave our corners out 123 00:08:56,520 --> 00:09:02,120 Speaker 2: on islands to go heat up the MVP, A team that, 124 00:09:02,280 --> 00:09:05,520 Speaker 2: by DVOA and smart People's stats, was one of the 125 00:09:05,520 --> 00:09:12,319 Speaker 2: most dominant teams from start to finish in NFL history. 126 00:09:13,160 --> 00:09:18,480 Speaker 2: Can we make them look totally out of sorts? Yeah, 127 00:09:18,520 --> 00:09:23,040 Speaker 2: we can do that too. And the takeaway for some 128 00:09:23,200 --> 00:09:29,800 Speaker 2: people is that, Ah, Baltimore did it to themselves. The 129 00:09:29,880 --> 00:09:34,200 Speaker 2: takeaway is how how they do it to themselves? Tell me, 130 00:09:34,480 --> 00:09:36,439 Speaker 2: tell me when Baltimore did it to themselves? 131 00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:38,760 Speaker 3: Tell me, well, I just know that. I just know 132 00:09:38,800 --> 00:09:41,079 Speaker 3: that they didn't run the balls as much as you. 133 00:09:42,760 --> 00:09:46,480 Speaker 2: Exactly. That's what everybody is fucking saying. Do you think 134 00:09:46,520 --> 00:09:51,480 Speaker 2: there's a reason do you think, guys, that was available 135 00:09:52,520 --> 00:09:56,120 Speaker 2: or do you think the Chiefs defensive game plan was 136 00:09:57,120 --> 00:10:01,800 Speaker 2: put them in fronts and look where they feel like 137 00:10:01,920 --> 00:10:06,360 Speaker 2: passing is the better option. Do we think Baltimore, which 138 00:10:06,480 --> 00:10:10,840 Speaker 2: is dominated running the football for six years in the 139 00:10:10,840 --> 00:10:14,680 Speaker 2: biggest game they've played forgot about it or were first 140 00:10:14,760 --> 00:10:20,160 Speaker 2: forced out of it by the best defense in the NFL. 141 00:10:20,400 --> 00:10:23,560 Speaker 2: Because that's what Kansas City is and that's what everyone 142 00:10:23,600 --> 00:10:29,560 Speaker 2: has missed all year. Going into the Baltimore game, all 143 00:10:29,600 --> 00:10:33,720 Speaker 2: we heard about was this dominant Ravens defense. Well, let's 144 00:10:33,720 --> 00:10:37,280 Speaker 2: look at the numbers. The Ravens defense this year was 145 00:10:37,400 --> 00:10:41,200 Speaker 2: number six in yards allowed, the Chiefs were number two. 146 00:10:41,840 --> 00:10:45,120 Speaker 2: The Ravens defense was number one in points allowed sixteen 147 00:10:45,160 --> 00:10:50,000 Speaker 2: and a half. The Chiefs were number two seventeen point three. However, 148 00:10:50,400 --> 00:10:55,840 Speaker 2: the Ravens defense this year forced thirty one turnovers. The 149 00:10:55,920 --> 00:11:00,240 Speaker 2: Chiefs forced only seventeen. The Ravens didn't turn the ball over, 150 00:11:00,280 --> 00:11:02,280 Speaker 2: the Chiefs turn it over a ton. The Ravens had 151 00:11:02,280 --> 00:11:05,680 Speaker 2: the number one turnover differential, the Chiefs had the fifth worst. 152 00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:08,000 Speaker 2: So there's a number of ways to look at that, 153 00:11:08,400 --> 00:11:13,600 Speaker 2: but one of them is this. Absent turnovers, the Chiefs 154 00:11:13,600 --> 00:11:16,120 Speaker 2: have been the most dominant team in the league defensively 155 00:11:16,720 --> 00:11:20,880 Speaker 2: despite not forcing the turnovers. And if and when they 156 00:11:20,960 --> 00:11:24,680 Speaker 2: do get some of that turnover luck, some of those 157 00:11:24,720 --> 00:11:28,240 Speaker 2: fumbles bounce their way, some of those tip passes they 158 00:11:28,320 --> 00:11:31,760 Speaker 2: end up picking off, the defense will be even better. 159 00:11:33,280 --> 00:11:38,200 Speaker 2: And so yeah, people can say Baltimore got out of 160 00:11:38,200 --> 00:11:43,199 Speaker 2: what they needed to do. But just like Buffalo fumbled 161 00:11:43,240 --> 00:11:47,520 Speaker 2: on their first play of the game through a crossfield 162 00:11:47,640 --> 00:11:51,160 Speaker 2: lateral on their third play of the game and ran 163 00:11:51,200 --> 00:11:53,320 Speaker 2: a fake punt in a three point game in the 164 00:11:53,320 --> 00:11:58,840 Speaker 2: fourth quarter. You know why teams do weird when they're 165 00:11:58,840 --> 00:12:03,520 Speaker 2: playing the Chiefs because staring across the sideline and seeing 166 00:12:03,600 --> 00:12:09,120 Speaker 2: Patrick Mahomes and Andy Reid terrifies them because they don't 167 00:12:09,200 --> 00:12:13,160 Speaker 2: think they're gonna be able to win seventeen fourteen. They 168 00:12:13,200 --> 00:12:16,319 Speaker 2: think they are going to have to score thirty, so 169 00:12:16,360 --> 00:12:20,640 Speaker 2: they do weird stuff because you've got a superhero on 170 00:12:20,679 --> 00:12:23,360 Speaker 2: the other side of the field. Every team in the 171 00:12:23,440 --> 00:12:27,120 Speaker 2: league is afraid of the Chiefs. While the media I 172 00:12:27,240 --> 00:12:32,240 Speaker 2: had to listen to three weeks ago, people were, honest 173 00:12:32,280 --> 00:12:35,880 Speaker 2: to God having this discussion. All right, obviously the Ravens 174 00:12:35,880 --> 00:12:39,160 Speaker 2: are the best team, and obviously the Bills are the 175 00:12:39,200 --> 00:12:42,600 Speaker 2: second best team. But if it's not one of those teams, 176 00:12:43,000 --> 00:12:45,480 Speaker 2: who do you like out of the AFC and is 177 00:12:45,520 --> 00:12:48,600 Speaker 2: not a straw man, everyone knows it happened. I had 178 00:12:48,640 --> 00:12:51,200 Speaker 2: to listen to people saying, well, if it's not Ravens 179 00:12:51,280 --> 00:12:53,760 Speaker 2: or Bills, you know the team I'd look out for 180 00:12:54,080 --> 00:12:58,080 Speaker 2: the Cleveland Browns and Joe Flacco. There was more faith 181 00:12:58,679 --> 00:13:02,160 Speaker 2: in that Browns team than this Chiefs team. And then 182 00:13:02,200 --> 00:13:06,920 Speaker 2: this week there's been no Mia Colpis. The only thing 183 00:13:06,960 --> 00:13:12,160 Speaker 2: has been all never doubt Mahomes, all these shows that 184 00:13:12,240 --> 00:13:16,840 Speaker 2: have picked against the Chiefs every round. It's now like 185 00:13:16,920 --> 00:13:21,120 Speaker 2: they just found out Patrick Mahomes exists. They're like, oh, well, 186 00:13:21,160 --> 00:13:23,640 Speaker 2: now we know until you know in ten days when 187 00:13:23,640 --> 00:13:25,880 Speaker 2: they're gonna pick brock Perdy to beat them. But set 188 00:13:25,960 --> 00:13:29,319 Speaker 2: that aside. So let's then talk about the other part 189 00:13:29,320 --> 00:13:32,480 Speaker 2: of this that nobody understands. 190 00:13:33,320 --> 00:13:34,319 Speaker 3: The bad officiating. 191 00:13:36,800 --> 00:13:39,960 Speaker 2: What was the bad officiating Demons, No, it was I. 192 00:13:42,520 --> 00:13:45,600 Speaker 3: Was just taking like a little little mini shot. I 193 00:13:45,640 --> 00:13:48,240 Speaker 3: know there was some bad calls in there. I do 194 00:13:48,440 --> 00:13:51,080 Speaker 3: notice that the announcer was like, oh, the ball was 195 00:13:51,160 --> 00:13:54,120 Speaker 3: already there before the interference came. It was the last 196 00:13:54,120 --> 00:13:56,560 Speaker 3: play of the game. The ball definitely wasn't there. But 197 00:13:56,600 --> 00:13:58,439 Speaker 3: that's that's like a little thing like I feel like 198 00:13:58,480 --> 00:14:01,720 Speaker 3: that type of stuff gets miscalled throughout the entire game. 199 00:14:03,320 --> 00:14:05,679 Speaker 3: But but no, I don't you know what. 200 00:14:05,760 --> 00:14:08,400 Speaker 2: Let's deal with the officiating now. I was gonna talk 201 00:14:08,400 --> 00:14:10,440 Speaker 2: about the Chiefs often. Let's deal with the officiating now. 202 00:14:10,920 --> 00:14:16,199 Speaker 2: Baltimore had so the foul discrepancy was massive because Baltimore 203 00:14:16,240 --> 00:14:21,200 Speaker 2: committed five fifteen yard personal foul penalties because they were 204 00:14:21,240 --> 00:14:24,760 Speaker 2: an undisciplined immature team on Sunday. But let's talk about 205 00:14:24,800 --> 00:14:30,200 Speaker 2: all five. Okay, there is one when Kyle van Noy, 206 00:14:30,800 --> 00:14:34,120 Speaker 2: right in front of the official head butts Travis Kelcey. 207 00:14:34,720 --> 00:14:38,200 Speaker 2: You can say, don't call it, but that's a personal foul. 208 00:14:38,760 --> 00:14:43,040 Speaker 2: There was a second one when Jadeveon Clowney leads with 209 00:14:43,160 --> 00:14:47,040 Speaker 2: his head into Mahomes's helmet. We can say the NFL 210 00:14:47,160 --> 00:14:50,440 Speaker 2: saw if you can say whatever. Everyone who watches football 211 00:14:50,600 --> 00:14:55,360 Speaker 2: knows that has been called all for five years now 212 00:14:55,560 --> 00:15:00,800 Speaker 2: against every quarterback that's except for maybe unfortunately U justin fields. 213 00:15:00,840 --> 00:15:03,640 Speaker 2: He doesn't get those calls. Everyone else seems to. That's two. 214 00:15:04,080 --> 00:15:08,560 Speaker 2: The third one was a play that should have been 215 00:15:08,600 --> 00:15:13,520 Speaker 2: a thirty yard personal foul when the d lineman i 216 00:15:13,560 --> 00:15:18,520 Speaker 2: mean close lines Mahomes in the face, rips his head 217 00:15:18,560 --> 00:15:21,200 Speaker 2: back and then drops a people's elbow on him on 218 00:15:21,240 --> 00:15:25,880 Speaker 2: the ground. That was the third. The fourth one was 219 00:15:26,440 --> 00:15:30,720 Speaker 2: the Zay Flowers taunting, which you can hate, but if 220 00:15:30,760 --> 00:15:34,800 Speaker 2: you push a guy down, spin the ball and flex, 221 00:15:35,320 --> 00:15:39,480 Speaker 2: that's a dumb play by Zay Flowers. And the fifth 222 00:15:39,520 --> 00:15:44,120 Speaker 2: one the Ravens wanted to do that was the intentional 223 00:15:44,160 --> 00:15:47,520 Speaker 2: off sides, but that ended up being fifteen yards because 224 00:15:47,520 --> 00:15:49,840 Speaker 2: they didn't want the Chiefs have first and five. So 225 00:15:50,040 --> 00:15:53,120 Speaker 2: all five personal fouls were legit. That's the first point. 226 00:15:53,520 --> 00:15:57,280 Speaker 2: The second point if we are going to parse, Oh, 227 00:15:57,440 --> 00:15:59,880 Speaker 2: but they might have missed a pass interference when the 228 00:16:00,080 --> 00:16:02,880 Speaker 2: Evens for down ten with two and a half minutes remaining. 229 00:16:03,320 --> 00:16:07,960 Speaker 2: Then let's also discuss the fact that Chris Jones got 230 00:16:08,160 --> 00:16:12,280 Speaker 2: leg whipped and tripped in the end zone and that's 231 00:16:12,320 --> 00:16:17,160 Speaker 2: a safety. That's a that's a safety. That's then nineteen 232 00:16:17,200 --> 00:16:21,760 Speaker 2: to seven. Or we could discuss the fact that the Chiefs, 233 00:16:22,040 --> 00:16:26,120 Speaker 2: for the second time this postseason, the Chiefs will get 234 00:16:26,120 --> 00:16:29,840 Speaker 2: all the calls for the second time in three games 235 00:16:29,840 --> 00:16:34,000 Speaker 2: in the playoffs, have had a touchdown on a screen 236 00:16:34,080 --> 00:16:38,360 Speaker 2: pass to Rashi Rice taken off the board due to 237 00:16:38,440 --> 00:16:44,600 Speaker 2: a phantom holding penalty. I'll give someone I don't want to. 238 00:16:45,440 --> 00:16:49,120 Speaker 2: I'll give you de Monsey one thousand dollars if you 239 00:16:49,240 --> 00:16:51,800 Speaker 2: can show me the hold that took away a forty 240 00:16:51,840 --> 00:16:56,080 Speaker 2: yard Rashi Rice touchdown. So the officiating stuff is just 241 00:16:56,720 --> 00:17:02,760 Speaker 2: losers whining. Could there have been a past interference called 242 00:17:03,360 --> 00:17:07,200 Speaker 2: right before the Ravens kicked the field goal, Absolutely, no doubt, 243 00:17:07,280 --> 00:17:10,080 Speaker 2: Just like there could have been a safety called when 244 00:17:10,160 --> 00:17:13,560 Speaker 2: Chris Jones got when Gus Edwards did a damn karate 245 00:17:13,720 --> 00:17:20,920 Speaker 2: kick to Chris Jones's thigh, safety, Yeah, exactly, and so yes, 246 00:17:21,000 --> 00:17:24,360 Speaker 2: of course. But the idea that the whistle went drastic 247 00:17:24,400 --> 00:17:28,000 Speaker 2: in one direction is not accurate to the scenario. But 248 00:17:28,359 --> 00:17:32,360 Speaker 2: what I was getting to was people are pointing out, oh, 249 00:17:32,760 --> 00:17:38,160 Speaker 2: Chiefs struggled offensively in the second half, to a degree yes, 250 00:17:38,320 --> 00:17:41,960 Speaker 2: and to a degree no. So yes, in that the 251 00:17:42,040 --> 00:17:44,399 Speaker 2: Ravens did figure some things out, and that is a 252 00:17:44,440 --> 00:17:51,640 Speaker 2: great defense. But what nobody seems to recognize, and it's 253 00:17:51,640 --> 00:17:56,800 Speaker 2: so painfully obvious if you're looking at this with any 254 00:17:56,880 --> 00:18:02,120 Speaker 2: type of clear eyes, is the Chiefs were up ten 255 00:18:03,119 --> 00:18:06,440 Speaker 2: for every second of the second half until the final possession. 256 00:18:07,440 --> 00:18:13,040 Speaker 2: As long as they had a two score lead and 257 00:18:13,119 --> 00:18:16,440 Speaker 2: were dominating the Ravens. When the Ravens had the ball, 258 00:18:17,400 --> 00:18:24,320 Speaker 2: the Chief's offensive approach was going to be no mistakes allowed. 259 00:18:25,320 --> 00:18:29,600 Speaker 2: So were their likely throws Mahomes could have made. But 260 00:18:29,640 --> 00:18:33,000 Speaker 2: it would have been a tight window because the Chiefs 261 00:18:33,080 --> 00:18:35,600 Speaker 2: receivers aren't good enough to get wide open against the 262 00:18:35,640 --> 00:18:39,879 Speaker 2: great Ravens Stephens. Yes, were there plays that if the 263 00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:43,600 Speaker 2: Chiefs had to move the ball. Mahomes would have taken 264 00:18:43,640 --> 00:18:49,040 Speaker 2: the chance, of course, But because Patrick Mahomes, unlike some 265 00:18:49,080 --> 00:18:54,120 Speaker 2: of his contemporaries, is a grown adult quarterback that understands 266 00:18:54,560 --> 00:19:00,199 Speaker 2: situational football, he decided, I'm not putting the ball and 267 00:19:00,240 --> 00:19:03,560 Speaker 2: jeopardy and it is and the fact that nobody has 268 00:19:03,560 --> 00:19:07,679 Speaker 2: seemed to square the circle of Oh wait, what was 269 00:19:07,760 --> 00:19:12,800 Speaker 2: the one drive the Chiefs in the second half threw 270 00:19:12,880 --> 00:19:16,959 Speaker 2: the ball deep downfield and converted. Oh yeah, it was 271 00:19:17,000 --> 00:19:21,920 Speaker 2: the one drive where if they don't convert, the Ravens 272 00:19:21,960 --> 00:19:26,040 Speaker 2: get the ball back down just one score the play 273 00:19:26,080 --> 00:19:30,680 Speaker 2: to MBS. Every other time the Chiefs had the ball, 274 00:19:31,080 --> 00:19:35,680 Speaker 2: Mahomes knew if this ends in a punt, the worst 275 00:19:35,680 --> 00:19:38,920 Speaker 2: case scenario is I get the ball back with the lead. 276 00:19:39,400 --> 00:19:43,719 Speaker 2: So just have it end in a punt unless something 277 00:19:43,800 --> 00:19:48,400 Speaker 2: is wide open and easy. It was the old Andy 278 00:19:48,480 --> 00:19:55,560 Speaker 2: Reid shutdown mode in the AFC title game, and folks 279 00:19:55,600 --> 00:20:00,480 Speaker 2: are so desperate to have the Chiefs be this high 280 00:20:00,520 --> 00:20:06,439 Speaker 2: flying team they fail to recognize that Mahomes, after his 281 00:20:06,640 --> 00:20:11,840 Speaker 2: one bad playoff half ever that game against Cincinnati, has 282 00:20:11,960 --> 00:20:16,439 Speaker 2: done two things. He has stopped flinging it downfield in 283 00:20:16,480 --> 00:20:20,960 Speaker 2: the postseason and also stopped taking sacks or turning the 284 00:20:21,000 --> 00:20:25,800 Speaker 2: ball over. In that time, the team is six and zero. 285 00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:30,800 Speaker 2: Mahomes has zeroed interceptions. He has in those six games 286 00:20:30,800 --> 00:20:35,200 Speaker 2: taken a total of five sacks, and he is protecting 287 00:20:35,240 --> 00:20:38,840 Speaker 2: the ball at all costs. Because here's the other thing 288 00:20:38,880 --> 00:20:42,640 Speaker 2: Mahomes knows. I'll throw a trivia question at you, Demanse. 289 00:20:43,200 --> 00:20:47,280 Speaker 2: In the last five years, the Chiefs have played twenty 290 00:20:47,359 --> 00:20:51,879 Speaker 2: six games in the playoffs in regular season from twenty 291 00:20:51,920 --> 00:20:55,760 Speaker 2: eighteen to right now, since the the I'm sorry twenty 292 00:20:55,880 --> 00:20:58,359 Speaker 2: nineteen to right now, the last five years since they 293 00:20:58,400 --> 00:21:01,119 Speaker 2: started winning Super Bowls to right now, they've played twenty 294 00:21:01,160 --> 00:21:04,480 Speaker 2: six games where Mahomes had zero turnovers. What do you 295 00:21:04,600 --> 00:21:07,439 Speaker 2: think their record is in those games where he has 296 00:21:07,520 --> 00:21:08,639 Speaker 2: zero turnovers out. 297 00:21:11,240 --> 00:21:15,399 Speaker 3: Yeah, playoffs, I'd say twenty six, twenty six to zero, 298 00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:17,280 Speaker 3: twenty five and one. 299 00:21:17,240 --> 00:21:22,360 Speaker 2: Almost twenty five and one, twenty five and one. So 300 00:21:22,440 --> 00:21:28,040 Speaker 2: he's he is recognized, especially with this defense. We have 301 00:21:28,080 --> 00:21:33,679 Speaker 2: a lead on Baltimore that doesn't that can't move the football. 302 00:21:33,720 --> 00:21:37,080 Speaker 2: Why would I put the ball in jeopardy? So I 303 00:21:37,160 --> 00:21:42,680 Speaker 2: do this twenty minute rant because I I can't believe 304 00:21:44,080 --> 00:21:48,199 Speaker 2: we are in the midst we are one game away 305 00:21:49,240 --> 00:21:54,960 Speaker 2: from the Kansas City Chiefs having finished, by any metric, 306 00:21:55,680 --> 00:21:58,280 Speaker 2: the greatest five year run in the history of the league. 307 00:21:59,359 --> 00:22:03,720 Speaker 2: I will say that again, one win away from the 308 00:22:03,840 --> 00:22:08,520 Speaker 2: Chiefs having executed the greatest five year run in the 309 00:22:08,640 --> 00:22:13,480 Speaker 2: history of the league. Only one other team in any 310 00:22:13,640 --> 00:22:17,840 Speaker 2: five year stretching NFL history has won three Super Bowls, 311 00:22:18,280 --> 00:22:24,359 Speaker 2: been to four, and that's the twenty fourteen to twenty 312 00:22:24,400 --> 00:22:27,920 Speaker 2: eighteen Patriots. Both of those teams, in the one year 313 00:22:28,000 --> 00:22:30,240 Speaker 2: they didn't win the super or make the Super Bowl 314 00:22:30,560 --> 00:22:34,159 Speaker 2: lost in the conference championship game, and the Chiefs have 315 00:22:34,560 --> 00:22:38,760 Speaker 2: bettered them in the regular season by two wins, so 316 00:22:38,800 --> 00:22:42,320 Speaker 2: they would have the same postseason resume, same postseason, all 317 00:22:42,359 --> 00:22:45,399 Speaker 2: of it, and two regular season wins better one and 318 00:22:45,520 --> 00:22:50,200 Speaker 2: nothing else comes close. The one to five Patriots went 319 00:22:50,240 --> 00:22:52,879 Speaker 2: to three Super Bowls, but in five didn't go to 320 00:22:52,920 --> 00:22:55,719 Speaker 2: the conference title game and an O two missed the playoffs. 321 00:22:55,880 --> 00:22:58,840 Speaker 2: The ninety one to ninety five Cowboys went to three 322 00:22:58,880 --> 00:23:05,639 Speaker 2: Super Bowls, won them, but in ninety three they lost 323 00:23:05,680 --> 00:23:08,400 Speaker 2: the Conference tidle game. In ninety five didn't get there 324 00:23:08,520 --> 00:23:10,400 Speaker 2: or I have those years wrong. But in ninety two 325 00:23:10,440 --> 00:23:14,560 Speaker 2: to ninety six whatever it is. The Steelers won four 326 00:23:14,600 --> 00:23:16,960 Speaker 2: out of six, but the two years in between didn't 327 00:23:16,960 --> 00:23:20,000 Speaker 2: go to the Super Bowl. No one has done what 328 00:23:20,040 --> 00:23:22,720 Speaker 2: the Chiefs have done over the last five years other 329 00:23:22,760 --> 00:23:26,040 Speaker 2: than the fourteen to eighteen Patriots, and with a win Sunday, 330 00:23:26,080 --> 00:23:30,840 Speaker 2: they trump that. And the fact that the storylines all 331 00:23:31,040 --> 00:23:36,040 Speaker 2: playoffs have been about the other teams is insulting to 332 00:23:36,119 --> 00:23:41,040 Speaker 2: the audience and insulting to history. The storyline after the 333 00:23:41,080 --> 00:23:44,879 Speaker 2: first Dolphins game was it was too cold for Tua. 334 00:23:45,400 --> 00:23:51,560 Speaker 2: Shut up, it's professional football. The storyline after the Chiefs 335 00:23:51,680 --> 00:23:56,760 Speaker 2: went into Buffalo and won was that the reason this 336 00:23:57,119 --> 00:24:03,760 Speaker 2: was the game of Josh Allen's entire career with the 337 00:24:03,760 --> 00:24:07,439 Speaker 2: fewest big plays zero and the most passes behind the 338 00:24:07,440 --> 00:24:12,680 Speaker 2: line of scrimmage sixteen was because the Bills linebackers were hurt. 339 00:24:13,320 --> 00:24:18,560 Speaker 2: And the storyline yesterday was God dogg it the Ravens. 340 00:24:19,000 --> 00:24:23,400 Speaker 2: They forgot to run the ball. Imagine that they just forgot, 341 00:24:24,359 --> 00:24:29,640 Speaker 2: Like there's this thing that they so clearly would have worked. Look, guys, 342 00:24:30,040 --> 00:24:33,880 Speaker 2: it was. It worked awesome the three times they did it, 343 00:24:34,320 --> 00:24:40,600 Speaker 2: and amazingly, just by kismet, they forgot to do it. Oh, 344 00:24:40,720 --> 00:24:44,639 Speaker 2: the Chiefs got lucky. They got lucky and what that legit? 345 00:24:48,160 --> 00:24:50,200 Speaker 3: They were trying to get it back on the Ravens. 346 00:24:50,240 --> 00:24:53,760 Speaker 3: You know, they kept on those oh those deep routes 347 00:24:53,800 --> 00:24:55,960 Speaker 3: and stopping. They were trying to get back in the game. 348 00:24:56,200 --> 00:24:58,680 Speaker 3: I don't think it was something that they clearly forgot 349 00:24:58,720 --> 00:25:02,040 Speaker 3: to do, but yeah, I mean it does the chief 350 00:25:02,280 --> 00:25:04,560 Speaker 3: They're trying to get back in the game because the 351 00:25:04,640 --> 00:25:05,200 Speaker 3: Chiefs were. 352 00:25:05,200 --> 00:25:09,200 Speaker 2: Kicking their ass. They didn't start the game down ten. 353 00:25:11,000 --> 00:25:16,280 Speaker 2: And then oh, how about lagerious Snead first us Sneed 354 00:25:17,720 --> 00:25:19,359 Speaker 2: put them on Jay back on camera here if we 355 00:25:19,400 --> 00:25:24,919 Speaker 2: could before the punch out. How about the fact that 356 00:25:24,960 --> 00:25:28,600 Speaker 2: when Zay Flowers catches that bomb, he gets him down 357 00:25:28,600 --> 00:25:32,879 Speaker 2: in open space. When Zay Flowers catches the right before 358 00:25:32,880 --> 00:25:36,760 Speaker 2: he taunts him, Zay Flowers is one almost Sneed to 359 00:25:36,800 --> 00:25:40,080 Speaker 2: the end zone and and Sneed just got him on 360 00:25:40,119 --> 00:25:44,680 Speaker 2: the ground, lived to fight another down, and then they 361 00:25:44,680 --> 00:25:46,800 Speaker 2: get the fifteen yard penalty, but they get those yards 362 00:25:46,880 --> 00:25:49,919 Speaker 2: right back. They get those yards right back, does Baltimore. 363 00:25:50,640 --> 00:25:55,400 Speaker 2: And Jay Flowers is streaking towards the end zone and 364 00:25:55,560 --> 00:26:00,879 Speaker 2: Snead with a perfect punch and save seventh. 365 00:26:00,880 --> 00:26:03,520 Speaker 3: Though it was impossible that he actually punched that out, 366 00:26:03,720 --> 00:26:07,040 Speaker 3: like I thought, he's still scoring. A way for the record, 367 00:26:07,320 --> 00:26:08,000 Speaker 3: I did too. 368 00:26:08,520 --> 00:26:12,960 Speaker 2: I saw that the refs were signaling touchback and I said, 369 00:26:13,119 --> 00:26:17,879 Speaker 2: I Beamani was there. I said. I was like, no, 370 00:26:18,000 --> 00:26:20,359 Speaker 2: I think he I said to him. I was like, 371 00:26:20,440 --> 00:26:23,680 Speaker 2: he definitely fumbled, but I thought he had already broken 372 00:26:23,720 --> 00:26:24,840 Speaker 2: the plane that. 373 00:26:24,760 --> 00:26:27,920 Speaker 3: Was had to play the game. 374 00:26:28,200 --> 00:26:32,919 Speaker 2: It was an insane, insane play by Sneed. And so 375 00:26:33,800 --> 00:26:36,439 Speaker 2: I just and beople like, well, and there's another thing 376 00:26:36,480 --> 00:26:41,879 Speaker 2: I heard yesterday, another thing I literally heard yesterday. Well, 377 00:26:42,200 --> 00:26:44,679 Speaker 2: you know, we talk about all these big picture things 378 00:26:44,720 --> 00:26:47,919 Speaker 2: and game plans and this and that, and we talk legacies, 379 00:26:48,119 --> 00:26:51,399 Speaker 2: when in reality, if you're about to score, if you 380 00:26:51,440 --> 00:26:53,440 Speaker 2: fumble at the one yard line and the other team 381 00:26:53,440 --> 00:26:57,960 Speaker 2: gets the ball, you just lose. Except the fact the 382 00:26:58,000 --> 00:27:00,880 Speaker 2: Chiefs did that last week and one. Anyway, they did 383 00:27:00,880 --> 00:27:04,760 Speaker 2: it last week and one, so you can win. There 384 00:27:04,840 --> 00:27:09,560 Speaker 2: is a way, be better, be better? All right? What's 385 00:27:09,600 --> 00:27:11,000 Speaker 2: the last follow up? Here? Tomorrow? 386 00:27:11,040 --> 00:27:16,159 Speaker 3: Said the serious one? So what do you think of 387 00:27:16,240 --> 00:27:19,560 Speaker 3: the Taylor the Taylor Swift based conspiracy theories? 388 00:27:21,320 --> 00:27:25,320 Speaker 2: All right? So this is this is my favorite, my 389 00:27:25,520 --> 00:27:33,640 Speaker 2: favorite added bonus of this Chief's dynasty. It's not only 390 00:27:33,720 --> 00:27:37,800 Speaker 2: that the Chiefs are so good now they're driving people 391 00:27:37,880 --> 00:27:43,960 Speaker 2: crazy there, what'd you say? 392 00:27:44,760 --> 00:27:48,560 Speaker 3: I mean, just starting to get a little stuff, starting 393 00:27:48,560 --> 00:27:51,240 Speaker 3: to get a little annoying. Like I'm I'm I'm a 394 00:27:51,480 --> 00:27:55,080 Speaker 3: chiefs ally and I'm just I see both sides. I 395 00:27:55,119 --> 00:27:58,240 Speaker 3: can see how people are annoyed by Taylor Swift being 396 00:27:58,240 --> 00:28:00,240 Speaker 3: shoved down their throats. 397 00:28:00,280 --> 00:28:06,920 Speaker 2: Kelsey, Okay, well, hold on, hold on second, hold on second, 398 00:28:06,920 --> 00:28:09,399 Speaker 2: Hold on a second, the tailor Swift being shoved down 399 00:28:09,440 --> 00:28:14,240 Speaker 2: their throats. That that's uh, that's a matter of perspective. 400 00:28:14,560 --> 00:28:19,440 Speaker 2: Because Taylor Swift has been shown in all three playoff 401 00:28:19,520 --> 00:28:23,800 Speaker 2: games less than Jason Kelsey was shown in the one, 402 00:28:24,240 --> 00:28:27,080 Speaker 2: and everyone loved what he did. Every everybody loved it. 403 00:28:27,160 --> 00:28:29,639 Speaker 2: And that's and and that's that's literal. You can check it. 404 00:28:29,960 --> 00:28:33,840 Speaker 2: In the Chiefs Ravens game, Taylor Swift was on camera 405 00:28:34,760 --> 00:28:39,080 Speaker 2: three and a half seconds longer than crabcakes were during 406 00:28:39,080 --> 00:28:42,880 Speaker 2: the broadcast. Check the tape, and nobody's like, oh my god, 407 00:28:43,320 --> 00:28:47,920 Speaker 2: uh big Seafood pushing this agenda like so so it's 408 00:28:47,960 --> 00:28:51,600 Speaker 2: just it's just nonsense. It's just people that is so so, 409 00:28:51,800 --> 00:28:54,240 Speaker 2: that's not even what I'm talking about. What I'm saying 410 00:28:54,320 --> 00:28:58,320 Speaker 2: is the cheat. And as far as Justin Tucker, Justin Tucker, 411 00:28:58,360 --> 00:29:02,720 Speaker 2: warm up somewhere else, clown, your greatest kicker ever. That's great, Sorry, buddy, 412 00:29:02,800 --> 00:29:04,920 Speaker 2: warm up somewhere else, like the. 413 00:29:05,400 --> 00:29:07,560 Speaker 3: And he had a quote crazy. 414 00:29:08,720 --> 00:29:12,960 Speaker 2: That, Yeah, the whole field you're warming up in intentionally 415 00:29:13,120 --> 00:29:16,240 Speaker 2: in the exact spot Mahomes is doing his dropbacks, like 416 00:29:16,800 --> 00:29:19,280 Speaker 2: play dumb games, win dumb prizes. Pal, you gonna have 417 00:29:19,320 --> 00:29:22,400 Speaker 2: your stupid tea and ball thrown aside by the year. 418 00:29:22,800 --> 00:29:26,280 Speaker 2: You're trying to poke Mahomes and Kelsey. How'd that work 419 00:29:26,280 --> 00:29:28,960 Speaker 2: out for you? Oh yeah, Kelsey's greatest game of his career. 420 00:29:29,120 --> 00:29:34,520 Speaker 2: So smart job. Also, the I mean Kel's Tucker had 421 00:29:34,560 --> 00:29:37,680 Speaker 2: a great quote where he was like, you know, I 422 00:29:37,840 --> 00:29:40,040 Speaker 2: was just you know, kind of having fun messing around. 423 00:29:40,120 --> 00:29:42,640 Speaker 2: They were taking it real serious. Yeah, that's a good 424 00:29:42,640 --> 00:29:45,800 Speaker 2: micro cosm for the whole game. The Chiefs took it 425 00:29:45,880 --> 00:29:50,080 Speaker 2: quite serious. You guys spent some Here's a fact, a 426 00:29:50,360 --> 00:29:55,160 Speaker 2: fact at some point during the week leading up to 427 00:29:55,240 --> 00:29:59,280 Speaker 2: the biggest game the Ravens franchise has ever had in 428 00:29:59,320 --> 00:30:04,080 Speaker 2: their building. About to say there was some time, Nope, 429 00:30:04,320 --> 00:30:09,000 Speaker 2: there was some time during the week of practice where 430 00:30:09,600 --> 00:30:12,200 Speaker 2: the Ravens offense was like, all right, guys, real quick, 431 00:30:12,920 --> 00:30:17,960 Speaker 2: let's choreograph our swagsurfing routine. I don't know I would 432 00:30:17,960 --> 00:30:21,000 Speaker 2: have maybe used that time on ball security. So basically 433 00:30:21,800 --> 00:30:25,160 Speaker 2: because they told us, they told us before the game 434 00:30:25,960 --> 00:30:28,760 Speaker 2: that he had a dance planned. And for anyone wondering 435 00:30:29,040 --> 00:30:32,000 Speaker 2: why did they do swagsurfing, it's because the Baltimore Ravens 436 00:30:32,040 --> 00:30:34,719 Speaker 2: were mocking the wives and girlfriends of the Kansaity Chiefs. 437 00:30:35,160 --> 00:30:39,880 Speaker 2: To be very clear, that's what it was. Patrick Mahomes's 438 00:30:39,880 --> 00:30:44,280 Speaker 2: wife and Taylor Swift in the playoff game in round 439 00:30:44,320 --> 00:30:47,640 Speaker 2: one did the swagsurfing thing and everyone thought it was 440 00:30:47,760 --> 00:30:50,760 Speaker 2: terrible because it's a couple of white girls doing swagsurfing, 441 00:30:51,120 --> 00:30:54,680 Speaker 2: and the Ravens decided that's gonna be our touchdown dance. 442 00:30:55,120 --> 00:30:57,719 Speaker 2: We are going to do it to mock them, and 443 00:30:57,800 --> 00:31:01,000 Speaker 2: so good. I'm glad you guys had You seemed like 444 00:31:01,040 --> 00:31:04,080 Speaker 2: a very serious operation this week, given the fact that 445 00:31:04,120 --> 00:31:06,720 Speaker 2: on the biggest defensive drive year season you started out 446 00:31:06,760 --> 00:31:09,200 Speaker 2: with twelve men on the field. You had everything totally 447 00:31:09,240 --> 00:31:11,880 Speaker 2: buttoned up. Nothing to worry about there, But I'm glad 448 00:31:11,920 --> 00:31:14,080 Speaker 2: you got your dance routine in But as I was 449 00:31:14,120 --> 00:31:22,480 Speaker 2: trying to say, I know for absolute certainty that's what 450 00:31:22,560 --> 00:31:26,120 Speaker 2: they were doing because the the tailor and Britney doing 451 00:31:26,160 --> 00:31:26,600 Speaker 2: the sweat. 452 00:31:26,680 --> 00:31:27,320 Speaker 3: I saw them. 453 00:31:27,640 --> 00:31:31,400 Speaker 2: It's the Dolphins. Yeah, you think all of a sudden 454 00:31:31,440 --> 00:31:35,080 Speaker 2: that just became super popular again the Ravens. No Zay 455 00:31:35,160 --> 00:31:39,240 Speaker 2: said before the game, we have something planned. Yeah, it 456 00:31:39,280 --> 00:31:42,760 Speaker 2: wasn't a coincidence. And listen, they at least they didn't 457 00:31:42,800 --> 00:31:44,920 Speaker 2: save it. Well, you know what would have really sucked 458 00:31:44,920 --> 00:31:47,719 Speaker 2: for Baltimore if they were like, save that for our 459 00:31:47,880 --> 00:31:50,400 Speaker 2: second touchdown. That'll really get them because then they never 460 00:31:50,400 --> 00:31:52,560 Speaker 2: would have gotten to do it because they only got 461 00:31:52,560 --> 00:31:59,640 Speaker 2: the one touchdown. But as I was saying about, uh, 462 00:31:59,880 --> 00:32:03,800 Speaker 2: I can't believe it's not only that the Chiefs are 463 00:32:03,880 --> 00:32:10,160 Speaker 2: so good they're driving people crazy, but they have just 464 00:32:10,320 --> 00:32:17,120 Speaker 2: by happenstance, stumbled upon the hornet's nest of the dumbest 465 00:32:17,800 --> 00:32:21,400 Speaker 2: and worst people in the world who hate them the most. 466 00:32:22,200 --> 00:32:26,360 Speaker 2: The folks who were saying that Travis Kelcey is slowing 467 00:32:26,400 --> 00:32:31,040 Speaker 2: down because he got too many boosters and on Nick 468 00:32:31,080 --> 00:32:34,960 Speaker 2: that's a straw man. Nope, a former colleague of mine 469 00:32:35,040 --> 00:32:37,719 Speaker 2: who is one of the largest syndicated talk show hosts 470 00:32:37,760 --> 00:32:40,760 Speaker 2: in America and also one of the worst sports betters 471 00:32:40,760 --> 00:32:43,640 Speaker 2: of all time, has that take out there on the 472 00:32:43,680 --> 00:32:48,680 Speaker 2: record and the idea those people who are now trying 473 00:32:48,760 --> 00:32:58,200 Speaker 2: to convince their gullible, sad audience that Taylor Swift is 474 00:32:58,280 --> 00:33:04,440 Speaker 2: a psyop by the government to help Joe Biden chef's kiss. 475 00:33:04,640 --> 00:33:12,120 Speaker 2: It's just perfect this morning. Yeah. Yeah.

I don't 503 00:35:04,400 --> 00:35:05,880 Speaker 2: think we're gonna be able to get to any of 504 00:35:05,920 --> 00:35:09,200 Speaker 2: the NBA stuff, so I could speed run it, just 505 00:35:09,239 --> 00:35:13,160 Speaker 2: real quick. Seventy point games under this environment are bad 506 00:35:13,160 --> 00:35:18,520 Speaker 2: for the league. They are bastardizing the record books. And 507 00:35:19,560 --> 00:35:22,560 Speaker 2: I've never been a guys don't care about defense anymore. 508 00:35:23,040 --> 00:35:26,360 Speaker 2: The last little bit, guys need to buckle down a 509 00:35:26,400 --> 00:35:26,680 Speaker 2: bit more. 510 00:35:26,719 --> 00:35:27,880 Speaker 3: We'll talk about that serious. 511 00:35:30,680 --> 00:35:33,600 Speaker 2: I mean, there's there's I am. I'm a die hard 512 00:35:33,719 --> 00:35:37,000 Speaker 2: NBA fan and I love it. Embeed not playing in Denver, 513 00:35:37,440 --> 00:35:40,799 Speaker 2: Nobody giving a if you give up seventy It's just 514 00:35:41,239 --> 00:35:45,800 Speaker 2: it is. You have Stephan Lebron who are combined seventy 515 00:35:45,920 --> 00:35:50,280 Speaker 2: five pouring their hearts out in a double overtime game, 516 00:35:50,680 --> 00:35:55,320 Speaker 2: continuing to carry this league on their back while nobody 517 00:35:55,360 --> 00:35:59,120 Speaker 2: else can take the torch. It's awful. I don't like it. 518 00:35:59,360 --> 00:36:03,560 Speaker 2: All right, we'll talk Lamar, we'll talk Lions, and we'll 519 00:36:03,600 --> 00:36:07,319 Speaker 2: talk Demand's other guy, brock Purty.

We need to 552 00:37:41,760 --> 00:37:45,360 Speaker 2: talk about the other team in the super Bowl, which 553 00:37:45,400 --> 00:37:49,719 Speaker 2: is something that back in October I kind of floated 554 00:37:49,719 --> 00:37:53,560 Speaker 2: the possibility of we can play that for you right now. 555 00:37:56,680 --> 00:37:59,959 Speaker 2: If people are rooting against me, the way this store 556 00:38:00,239 --> 00:38:04,840 Speaker 2: is supposed to end is with Brock Purdy outdueling Patrick 557 00:38:04,880 --> 00:38:06,040 Speaker 2: Mahomes in the Super Bowl. 558 00:38:06,200 --> 00:38:08,680 Speaker 3: It sounds like a heartache, and talk about never a 559 00:38:08,880 --> 00:38:11,840 Speaker 3: doubt that'd be hilarious. Dude. 560 00:38:12,719 --> 00:38:16,600 Speaker 2: Yeah, so if and that's what we got. And Perdy, 561 00:38:16,680 --> 00:38:20,520 Speaker 2: so let's talk about him for a minute, because Purdy 562 00:38:20,600 --> 00:38:24,480 Speaker 2: in both of these playoff games has played some level 563 00:38:24,680 --> 00:38:29,440 Speaker 2: between awful to very poor early on and then in 564 00:38:29,520 --> 00:38:32,480 Speaker 2: the first playoff game had the one drive at the 565 00:38:32,600 --> 00:38:36,320 Speaker 2: end after playing really poorly the entire game, and in 566 00:38:36,440 --> 00:38:40,400 Speaker 2: this game had the whole last really quarter and a 567 00:38:40,440 --> 00:38:44,680 Speaker 2: half from the moment I caught the ball off Bildor's 568 00:38:44,719 --> 00:38:47,839 Speaker 2: helmet the rest of the way. Perdy was excellent, And 569 00:38:49,560 --> 00:38:53,440 Speaker 2: I was not impressed by the Purdy the way some 570 00:38:53,520 --> 00:38:55,239 Speaker 2: of you wanted me to be when he had the 571 00:38:55,280 --> 00:38:58,279 Speaker 2: perfect passer rating against Tampa, when he put up some 572 00:38:58,320 --> 00:39:02,480 Speaker 2: of these great, seemingly flawless games, I thought it was 573 00:39:02,600 --> 00:39:05,879 Speaker 2: plug and play quarterbacking the likes of which we had 574 00:39:05,880 --> 00:39:11,319 Speaker 2: seen from Jimmy Garoppolo. I was impressed by the composure 575 00:39:11,440 --> 00:39:16,080 Speaker 2: he showed in that conference championship game after playing really 576 00:39:16,120 --> 00:39:22,719 Speaker 2: poorly early. And it wasn't just the composure, but the 577 00:39:23,000 --> 00:39:30,719 Speaker 2: escapability for him to go along with the scrambling is 578 00:39:30,760 --> 00:39:36,840 Speaker 2: a really nice weapon that obviously, excuse me, that obviously 579 00:39:36,920 --> 00:39:40,480 Speaker 2: Jimmy Garoppolo never had, And so folks have been waiting 580 00:39:40,840 --> 00:39:43,160 Speaker 2: and waiting and waiting for me to give Party credit. 581 00:39:43,719 --> 00:39:47,480 Speaker 2: He showed me something in that conference championship game that 582 00:39:48,120 --> 00:39:52,120 Speaker 2: was more impressive than a twenty one of twenty five 583 00:39:52,160 --> 00:39:54,680 Speaker 2: for two hundred and eighty yards and four touchdowns earlier 584 00:39:54,680 --> 00:40:01,319 Speaker 2: in the season because he wasn't playing well, and despite that, 585 00:40:01,920 --> 00:40:04,920 Speaker 2: he seemed to keep his confidence. Now he got away 586 00:40:04,960 --> 00:40:09,520 Speaker 2: with some and I think he has gotten He's been 587 00:40:09,760 --> 00:40:14,400 Speaker 2: very lucky in multiple spots thus far this postseason, but 588 00:40:14,480 --> 00:40:18,880 Speaker 2: he's also made some really good athletic plays that I 589 00:40:18,920 --> 00:40:21,880 Speaker 2: will give him full credit for. And so I'm not 590 00:40:21,920 --> 00:40:25,600 Speaker 2: trying to short change Party and the Niners here, but 591 00:40:26,280 --> 00:40:28,799 Speaker 2: we're gonna have the next three shows to talk more 592 00:40:28,800 --> 00:40:31,600 Speaker 2: about the Super Bowl matchup and so we're gonna do 593 00:40:31,640 --> 00:40:34,719 Speaker 2: that more than also with the monse Evan technical difficulties 594 00:40:34,800 --> 00:40:37,280 Speaker 2: right now, I kind of wanted to get his thoughts 595 00:40:37,360 --> 00:40:39,719 Speaker 2: on Perty because that's been his guy off and on 596 00:40:40,160 --> 00:40:42,520 Speaker 2: throughout the year. So maybe later in the show we'll 597 00:40:42,560 --> 00:40:43,759 Speaker 2: get to that. If not, we'll do a lot of 598 00:40:43,800 --> 00:40:47,719 Speaker 2: it on Thursday. Now back to the chief side of 599 00:40:47,760 --> 00:40:53,040 Speaker 2: things and the interesting Lamar Jackson conundrum we have right now. 600 00:40:53,360 --> 00:40:55,520 Speaker 2: And by the way, if you have questions or comments 601 00:40:55,520 --> 00:40:57,680 Speaker 2: in the chat we see him, I'll try to get 602 00:40:57,680 --> 00:40:59,359 Speaker 2: to him in the sea block. I'm not gonna read 603 00:40:59,400 --> 00:41:04,040 Speaker 2: them off right now. The but we see him, Gabe 604 00:41:04,120 --> 00:41:06,680 Speaker 2: and our wonderful producers are putting them in the dock, 605 00:41:06,760 --> 00:41:08,680 Speaker 2: and so I'll get to those some of those in 606 00:41:08,719 --> 00:41:13,719 Speaker 2: the sea block. Lamar is in a weird spot because 607 00:41:14,680 --> 00:41:20,720 Speaker 2: there are two numbers that are very, very hard to ignore. 608 00:41:22,000 --> 00:41:27,160 Speaker 2: So Lamar Jackson has in his career played seventy seven 609 00:41:27,320 --> 00:41:34,040 Speaker 2: regular season games. In those seventy seven regular season games, 610 00:41:34,880 --> 00:41:44,239 Speaker 2: the Ravens have never led in two of them. So basically, 611 00:41:44,360 --> 00:41:48,920 Speaker 2: once every two and a half seasons, Lamar has a 612 00:41:48,960 --> 00:41:54,280 Speaker 2: game where the Ravens trail the whole time. It's happened 613 00:41:54,320 --> 00:42:03,240 Speaker 2: twice in seventy seven games. Lamar has played six postseason games. 614 00:42:04,280 --> 00:42:09,800 Speaker 2: That exact scenario. Never having the lead once has happened 615 00:42:09,920 --> 00:42:15,960 Speaker 2: four times. That is so something that in the regular 616 00:42:16,080 --> 00:42:22,920 Speaker 2: season has happened to him. What's two of eighty two 617 00:42:23,000 --> 00:42:29,439 Speaker 2: and a half percent of the time in the postseason 618 00:42:30,000 --> 00:42:34,640 Speaker 2: has happened sixty seven percent of the time. That is 619 00:42:34,840 --> 00:42:39,799 Speaker 2: the first flashing red light. The second one is just 620 00:42:39,880 --> 00:42:45,640 Speaker 2: as damning. Lamar has played in the playoffs four years 621 00:42:45,640 --> 00:42:48,520 Speaker 2: in his career. One year they missed, one year he 622 00:42:48,560 --> 00:42:54,279 Speaker 2: was hurt for the playoffs. Every single one of those years, 623 00:42:55,160 --> 00:43:00,319 Speaker 2: the Ravens season low for points in a game was 624 00:43:00,320 --> 00:43:05,440 Speaker 2: in their playoff game. That's a hard one. For some 625 00:43:05,520 --> 00:43:09,440 Speaker 2: context there, it has happened to Josh Allen once in 626 00:43:09,520 --> 00:43:15,160 Speaker 2: five postseason appearances, Mahomes once in this via Scott casmir. 627 00:43:15,200 --> 00:43:18,600 Speaker 2: By the way, once in six playoff appearances. Happened to 628 00:43:18,640 --> 00:43:22,800 Speaker 2: Peyton Manning four times in sixteen playoff appearances. Happened to 629 00:43:22,840 --> 00:43:26,359 Speaker 2: Brady five times in twenty playoff appearances. For Lamar, it's 630 00:43:26,360 --> 00:43:33,320 Speaker 2: happened every single time, and so they never just get 631 00:43:34,080 --> 00:43:36,960 Speaker 2: you know, beat, start to finish in a game. Except 632 00:43:36,960 --> 00:43:39,200 Speaker 2: for the playoffs, where it happens two out of three times, 633 00:43:39,600 --> 00:43:44,200 Speaker 2: four out of six overall, and every year they have 634 00:43:44,280 --> 00:43:47,200 Speaker 2: scored their season low for the season in the playoffs. 635 00:43:47,960 --> 00:43:51,279 Speaker 2: So as much as the monkey got off Lamar's back 636 00:43:52,840 --> 00:43:58,799 Speaker 2: by that round two great second half, it started to 637 00:43:58,880 --> 00:44:02,960 Speaker 2: climb back on a bit by being stuck on seven 638 00:44:03,040 --> 00:44:07,480 Speaker 2: points for three hours of this game, and by clearly 639 00:44:07,640 --> 00:44:12,480 Speaker 2: the Chiefs game plan, right or wrong, was have Lamar 640 00:44:12,520 --> 00:44:14,760 Speaker 2: beat us with his arm. We don't think he will. 641 00:44:15,080 --> 00:44:18,160 Speaker 2: That was their game plan. And I like Lamar and 642 00:44:18,200 --> 00:44:22,440 Speaker 2: I think he was the rightful MVP. But you look 643 00:44:22,480 --> 00:44:27,799 Speaker 2: at Lamar's think about all the heat Dak Prescott got 644 00:44:28,400 --> 00:44:31,080 Speaker 2: for falling to two and five in the playoffs for 645 00:44:31,160 --> 00:44:37,200 Speaker 2: another playoff stinker after a great regular season. It feels 646 00:44:37,239 --> 00:44:39,759 Speaker 2: like Lamar now at two and four in the playoffs, 647 00:44:40,600 --> 00:44:45,280 Speaker 2: with one excellent playoff game to his name, it feels 648 00:44:45,280 --> 00:44:48,440 Speaker 2: like some of that same heat is going to be 649 00:44:48,600 --> 00:44:51,399 Speaker 2: there for Lamar. And I don't know what the right 650 00:44:51,440 --> 00:44:56,480 Speaker 2: answer is. I just know a guy that's as scary 651 00:44:56,560 --> 00:45:00,960 Speaker 2: as any player in the league in the regular season. Now, 652 00:45:01,440 --> 00:45:04,839 Speaker 2: every year he's made the postseason, he has not looked 653 00:45:04,880 --> 00:45:07,200 Speaker 2: the same. I don't think people would be saying this 654 00:45:07,239 --> 00:45:10,319 Speaker 2: if they had lost thirty one to twenty eight, but 655 00:45:10,400 --> 00:45:14,000 Speaker 2: the fact that this game was seventeen to seven the 656 00:45:14,200 --> 00:45:18,880 Speaker 2: whole second half essentially, and the Chiefs did nothing but 657 00:45:19,080 --> 00:45:22,680 Speaker 2: punt in the second half, and it didn't matter because Baltimore, 658 00:45:23,040 --> 00:45:26,240 Speaker 2: and yes, I understand they you had the Zayflowers fumble 659 00:45:26,239 --> 00:45:28,759 Speaker 2: at the one, but you also had the Lamar stripsack 660 00:45:28,880 --> 00:45:33,919 Speaker 2: early and the terrible pass into triple coverage when they 661 00:45:33,960 --> 00:45:38,799 Speaker 2: didn't they weren't in desperation mode yet. Those things are 662 00:45:38,880 --> 00:45:45,040 Speaker 2: gonna cause some eyebrow raising. And then the other big 663 00:45:45,080 --> 00:45:50,600 Speaker 2: story from this weekend is Dan Campbell's forth down decisions, 664 00:45:50,960 --> 00:45:54,000 Speaker 2: and this is just going to be another example of 665 00:45:54,160 --> 00:46:01,440 Speaker 2: I think people missing the actual story. So full disclosure, 666 00:46:02,040 --> 00:46:08,960 Speaker 2: even though I'm I, you know, analytics inclined, and I'm 667 00:46:09,040 --> 00:46:13,279 Speaker 2: aware that part of the Lion's reasoning on going for 668 00:46:13,360 --> 00:46:15,800 Speaker 2: those two fourth downs in the fourth in the second 669 00:46:15,880 --> 00:46:20,800 Speaker 2: half was their kickers not good bad. They've had kicking 670 00:46:20,840 --> 00:46:26,319 Speaker 2: issues all year. Badgely is around fifty percent from more 671 00:46:26,360 --> 00:46:31,640 Speaker 2: than forty five yards. Those were not a lock three 672 00:46:31,760 --> 00:46:35,360 Speaker 2: points and it was not in conflict kicking the field 673 00:46:35,360 --> 00:46:37,799 Speaker 2: goal at the end of the first half is a 674 00:46:37,840 --> 00:46:43,000 Speaker 2: totally different spot because the one scenario where kicking a 675 00:46:43,040 --> 00:46:47,520 Speaker 2: field goal inside the five sometimes makes total sense is 676 00:46:47,560 --> 00:46:50,840 Speaker 2: if it is in the very final seconds of the 677 00:46:50,880 --> 00:46:54,200 Speaker 2: first half. Because one of the reasons that you go 678 00:46:54,360 --> 00:46:58,239 Speaker 2: for touchdowns inside the five is if you miss it, 679 00:46:58,560 --> 00:47:01,040 Speaker 2: they're gonna be backed up. You can either get a 680 00:47:01,040 --> 00:47:03,960 Speaker 2: safety or get the ball back in great field position 681 00:47:04,000 --> 00:47:07,120 Speaker 2: before the half that doesn't matter, So those weren't in conflict. 682 00:47:07,840 --> 00:47:13,719 Speaker 2: With all that said, the one fourth down decision that 683 00:47:13,960 --> 00:47:18,239 Speaker 2: I would have done differently was up fourteen midway through 684 00:47:18,280 --> 00:47:24,600 Speaker 2: the third because I do believe psychologically getting back up 685 00:47:24,680 --> 00:47:29,719 Speaker 2: three scores the difference between fourteen and seventeen is more 686 00:47:29,800 --> 00:47:33,160 Speaker 2: than three points. I guess the point I would make 687 00:47:33,280 --> 00:47:37,320 Speaker 2: is I feel like psychologically there is a much bigger 688 00:47:37,440 --> 00:47:44,680 Speaker 2: gap for the Niners between fourteen and seventeen than there 689 00:47:44,760 --> 00:47:48,359 Speaker 2: is between seventeen and twenty one. I think the edge 690 00:47:48,400 --> 00:47:51,840 Speaker 2: of your down three scores and you have to change 691 00:47:51,880 --> 00:47:54,359 Speaker 2: your game plan, get a little more nervous. All of that, 692 00:47:54,800 --> 00:47:57,040 Speaker 2: I would have kicked that one field goal, but that's 693 00:47:57,080 --> 00:48:00,239 Speaker 2: a judgment call that is not worth that. I mean, 694 00:48:00,239 --> 00:48:03,440 Speaker 2: that is just you make a tough decision. You live 695 00:48:03,480 --> 00:48:07,400 Speaker 2: with the results. The thing Dan Campbell did that he 696 00:48:07,440 --> 00:48:11,680 Speaker 2: has since now admitted was a mistake, but is an 697 00:48:13,040 --> 00:48:17,359 Speaker 2: honestly just as horrendous a coaching error as one can make. 698 00:48:18,640 --> 00:48:22,239 Speaker 2: Was burning that third time out or that first time 699 00:48:22,280 --> 00:48:25,160 Speaker 2: out with a minute left after the goal line run 700 00:48:25,239 --> 00:48:30,960 Speaker 2: on third down, and I don't Greg Olsen did a 701 00:48:31,000 --> 00:48:34,120 Speaker 2: good job talking about what a problem it was, but 702 00:48:34,400 --> 00:48:38,239 Speaker 2: I don't think it was it. People understand what a 703 00:48:38,360 --> 00:48:44,960 Speaker 2: disaster that timeout was. If you have all three timeouts, 704 00:48:46,520 --> 00:48:48,439 Speaker 2: if you get to stop, you are getting the ball back. 705 00:48:49,400 --> 00:48:54,040 Speaker 2: Fifteen seconds after the other team's possession starts. You're getting 706 00:48:54,320 --> 00:48:59,160 Speaker 2: the ball back. Because the NFL has changed the on 707 00:48:59,360 --> 00:49:02,960 Speaker 2: side kick to where it is impossible, you have to 708 00:49:03,040 --> 00:49:07,800 Speaker 2: treat getting in an on side kick game as we lose. 709 00:49:08,920 --> 00:49:12,080 Speaker 2: You have to treat the on side kick like if 710 00:49:12,120 --> 00:49:14,240 Speaker 2: we are kicking an on side kick, we have lost 711 00:49:14,280 --> 00:49:19,440 Speaker 2: the game. The probabilities are so low, which means if 712 00:49:19,480 --> 00:49:23,279 Speaker 2: you have third in goal from the two with a 713 00:49:23,360 --> 00:49:27,279 Speaker 2: minute left in all three timeouts, you are, honest to 714 00:49:27,320 --> 00:49:33,800 Speaker 2: God better off. And this is obvious. Kicking the field 715 00:49:33,880 --> 00:49:39,759 Speaker 2: goal and being down seven and keeping your timeouts, then 716 00:49:39,880 --> 00:49:44,400 Speaker 2: what they did, which is scoring the touchdown, but using 717 00:49:44,440 --> 00:49:48,520 Speaker 2: a timeout. The moment you use a timeout, the game's over. 718 00:49:49,080 --> 00:49:54,640 Speaker 2: You have lost. That was it, and so leaving it 719 00:49:54,800 --> 00:49:57,360 Speaker 2: up for chance that if we don't get this run, 720 00:49:57,640 --> 00:50:03,200 Speaker 2: we're gonna have to call timeout. That was the grievous error. 721 00:50:03,640 --> 00:50:07,600 Speaker 2: That was the mistake You cannot make. It is so 722 00:50:07,800 --> 00:50:11,000 Speaker 2: much worse than the judgment calls on fourth down you 723 00:50:12,320 --> 00:50:19,120 Speaker 2: once you're inside two minutes trailing multiple scores, the timeouts 724 00:50:19,200 --> 00:50:24,120 Speaker 2: are actually more valuable than touchdowns if you're down ten 725 00:50:24,200 --> 00:50:29,799 Speaker 2: or less, the if you're down nine, ten, eleven, the 726 00:50:29,960 --> 00:50:35,160 Speaker 2: timeouts are what you must prioritize. Now, you could argue 727 00:50:35,320 --> 00:50:41,440 Speaker 2: that Baltimore and Detroit, both of them on their last 728 00:50:41,480 --> 00:50:43,439 Speaker 2: would end up being their last drives of the game, 729 00:50:43,960 --> 00:50:46,480 Speaker 2: should have the moment they were in field goal range, 730 00:50:46,600 --> 00:50:49,320 Speaker 2: kicked the field goal to make it a one score 731 00:50:49,360 --> 00:50:54,239 Speaker 2: game and keep their timeouts. But certainly you can't put 732 00:50:54,239 --> 00:50:57,520 Speaker 2: yourself a position to burn one. And everyone gets so 733 00:50:57,680 --> 00:51:01,400 Speaker 2: caught up on the fourth down stuff. They's the fact 734 00:51:01,560 --> 00:51:07,759 Speaker 2: that you getting yourself in an on side kick game 735 00:51:07,880 --> 00:51:10,719 Speaker 2: is losing. You've lost. The game's over if you have 736 00:51:10,760 --> 00:51:12,799 Speaker 2: all three times. If they had so, just for the 737 00:51:12,840 --> 00:51:17,320 Speaker 2: sake of argument, let's say they threw incomplete on third 738 00:51:17,400 --> 00:51:20,480 Speaker 2: down and then kick the field goal on fourth, or 739 00:51:20,560 --> 00:51:22,560 Speaker 2: went for it and got it on fourth whatever. You're 740 00:51:22,560 --> 00:51:25,760 Speaker 2: down three or seven kicking off with one minute left. 741 00:51:26,160 --> 00:51:28,640 Speaker 2: If you have all three timeouts and you get the stop, 742 00:51:29,160 --> 00:51:32,200 Speaker 2: you're getting the ball back with forty seconds left, you 743 00:51:32,320 --> 00:51:37,160 Speaker 2: have a chance. Instead you use a timeout. You, of 744 00:51:37,160 --> 00:51:40,040 Speaker 2: course don't get the on side kick game over. All right, 745 00:51:40,120 --> 00:51:43,160 Speaker 2: we'll answer your questions, take quick break, answer your questions, 746 00:51:43,200 --> 00:51:51,360 Speaker 2: and read your comments. Next we'll try. All right, welcome 747 00:51:51,400 --> 00:51:53,719 Speaker 2: back in What's right with Nick? Right? Uh, we'll get 748 00:51:53,719 --> 00:51:57,320 Speaker 2: to your listener questions right now. Big Seafood asked anyone 749 00:51:57,440 --> 00:51:59,600 Speaker 2: hungry for a new single? I think this is our 750 00:51:59,640 --> 00:52:03,160 Speaker 2: producer trolling me a bit. Let me see what it says. Oh, 751 00:52:03,200 --> 00:52:05,440 Speaker 2: it's Taylor's new single. Cake it off by it now 752 00:52:05,440 --> 00:52:08,120 Speaker 2: at Big Seafood. That's well done. That's well done with 753 00:52:08,400 --> 00:52:12,359 Speaker 2: you know, no planning with that was done on the fly. Uh. 754 00:52:12,920 --> 00:52:16,320 Speaker 2: Echo Ramos asks, how does it feel having your fifty 755 00:52:16,320 --> 00:52:19,560 Speaker 2: to one Super Bowl bet last year actually come to 756 00:52:19,600 --> 00:52:24,000 Speaker 2: fruition this year? Ah? I'm over it from last year 757 00:52:24,480 --> 00:52:26,760 Speaker 2: and last year's Super Bowl couldn't have gone any better. 758 00:52:27,040 --> 00:52:29,600 Speaker 2: But yeah, I mean, I've thought about it that I 759 00:52:29,719 --> 00:52:32,920 Speaker 2: was Niners chiefs last year and now it ends up 760 00:52:32,920 --> 00:52:36,799 Speaker 2: being Niners chiefs this year. D R says, all this 761 00:52:36,880 --> 00:52:40,040 Speaker 2: outside noise surrounding the Chiefs. Guess who has no outside noise? 762 00:52:40,120 --> 00:52:47,640 Speaker 2: The Niners? Yeah not yet. Uh. Here's the thing. The 763 00:52:47,640 --> 00:52:50,080 Speaker 2: the media is not going to be able to help themselves, 764 00:52:50,880 --> 00:52:53,680 Speaker 2: and they're gonna really really try to turn Brock Purdy 765 00:52:53,760 --> 00:52:58,480 Speaker 2: into a combination of Joe Montana uh and Tom Brady. 766 00:52:59,080 --> 00:53:01,680 Speaker 2: And I'm gonna be really interested in how he handles it. 767 00:53:01,680 --> 00:53:03,680 Speaker 2: For the Super Bowl. We know how Mahomes gonna handle it. 768 00:53:05,000 --> 00:53:09,040 Speaker 2: Grayson Schultzman says, will Mahomes have a Jordan Like not 769 00:53:09,200 --> 00:53:12,239 Speaker 2: letting anyone eat effect on the great quarterbacks in the AFC? 770 00:53:12,480 --> 00:53:15,520 Speaker 2: All right, reminder, then no one ate on Jordan's watch 771 00:53:15,560 --> 00:53:19,040 Speaker 2: thing is a myth unless no one just means Charles Barkley, 772 00:53:19,040 --> 00:53:23,160 Speaker 2: Patrick Ewing and Reggie Miller. Because the following people all 773 00:53:23,239 --> 00:53:29,560 Speaker 2: won titles during Jordan's career. Kareem Magic, Larry Isaiah, Akeem, 774 00:53:30,160 --> 00:53:35,719 Speaker 2: Duncan Robinson, Shaq Kobe, all the great players eight on 775 00:53:35,920 --> 00:53:40,080 Speaker 2: Jordan's watch except for of course, Ewing Berkley and Reggie 776 00:53:40,560 --> 00:53:43,160 Speaker 2: Oh and Carmelone. I shouldn't sorry, my bad Carmelon John 777 00:53:43,160 --> 00:53:47,400 Speaker 2: Stockton obviously are on that list. My apologies. Uh I 778 00:53:47,880 --> 00:53:51,960 Speaker 2: here's what I think, Druff's If you're in the AFC, 779 00:53:52,040 --> 00:53:55,120 Speaker 2: you've got to be sick that they went seamlessly from 780 00:53:55,120 --> 00:53:58,480 Speaker 2: the Patriots to the Chiefs. The Patriots made the AFC 781 00:53:58,560 --> 00:54:01,480 Speaker 2: title game every single year from twenty eleven to twenty eighteen, 782 00:54:01,560 --> 00:54:04,719 Speaker 2: and in that timeframe they made five Super Bowls. The 783 00:54:04,840 --> 00:54:09,040 Speaker 2: other three Super Bowls were played in by the Denver 784 00:54:09,120 --> 00:54:12,600 Speaker 2: Broncos and Peyton, and the Baltimore Ravens and Joe Flacco 785 00:54:12,640 --> 00:54:15,880 Speaker 2: from the AFC side of things. In twenty eighteen, the 786 00:54:16,000 --> 00:54:19,479 Speaker 2: Chiefs and Patriots played each other in the conference championship game. 787 00:54:19,719 --> 00:54:23,319 Speaker 2: The Chiefs then took the baton if you will. Uh. 788 00:54:23,440 --> 00:54:26,439 Speaker 2: They've now been in every conference championship game since then 789 00:54:26,760 --> 00:54:29,360 Speaker 2: and been in every Super Bowl but won so. In 790 00:54:29,400 --> 00:54:34,200 Speaker 2: the last thirteen years in the AFC, Brady made five 791 00:54:34,239 --> 00:54:38,440 Speaker 2: Super Bowls, Mahomes has made four, Peyton made two, and 792 00:54:38,480 --> 00:54:42,399 Speaker 2: Flacco and Burrow both made one. Robert Remsen says, Nick, 793 00:54:42,440 --> 00:54:44,520 Speaker 2: did you really turn up the TV while Bomani was 794 00:54:44,520 --> 00:54:47,040 Speaker 2: telling a story to someone else. Yes, and I'd do 795 00:54:47,120 --> 00:54:51,120 Speaker 2: it again. But I told Bamani before he came over. 796 00:54:51,160 --> 00:54:53,640 Speaker 2: Bamani jones with me for the game. He brought a 797 00:54:53,640 --> 00:54:55,400 Speaker 2: buddy of his and my buddy Josh was at the 798 00:54:55,400 --> 00:54:57,799 Speaker 2: game was with us as well, and I told him 799 00:54:57,800 --> 00:55:00,759 Speaker 2: before the game, there's only conver station asked to be 800 00:55:00,760 --> 00:55:05,280 Speaker 2: about the game. And at one point during the AFC 801 00:55:05,360 --> 00:55:08,560 Speaker 2: title game, Bamani was talking about something that was not 802 00:55:08,680 --> 00:55:12,879 Speaker 2: the Chiefs Ravens game, and I did, like what quarterbacks 803 00:55:12,880 --> 00:55:15,960 Speaker 2: do to crowds. I did that because I was crouching 804 00:55:15,960 --> 00:55:17,880 Speaker 2: in front of the TV. They didn't listen to me, 805 00:55:17,880 --> 00:55:20,480 Speaker 2: so I turned the TV up. I have no apologies. 806 00:55:20,960 --> 00:55:23,040 Speaker 2: This is a very important moment and I didn't want 807 00:55:23,040 --> 00:55:26,799 Speaker 2: to be distracted. And I mean that was I don't 808 00:55:26,800 --> 00:55:29,400 Speaker 2: even think Bamani was offended. At one point, Bamani went 809 00:55:29,440 --> 00:55:31,680 Speaker 2: downstairs and hung out with Deanna, who he likes more 810 00:55:31,719 --> 00:55:33,640 Speaker 2: than me. Anyways, seemed to have a good time. Dan 811 00:55:33,719 --> 00:55:35,759 Speaker 2: yell and Deanna made nachos. Everyone at a great time. 812 00:55:35,800 --> 00:55:39,480 Speaker 2: But we're not talking about things that aren't football during 813 00:55:39,520 --> 00:55:42,480 Speaker 2: playoff games, certainly during conference Championship Games. What are we 814 00:55:42,480 --> 00:55:46,120 Speaker 2: talking about? We're civilized people, all right. Apologies for the 815 00:55:46,160 --> 00:55:48,799 Speaker 2: technical errors. We'll try to get him squared away. Great 816 00:55:48,840 --> 00:55:50,799 Speaker 2: job demands even though it was only half a show. 817 00:55:51,120 --> 00:55:53,719 Speaker 2: We will see you guys today, Big day.
