1
00:00:02,040 --> 00:00:04,480
Speaker 1: Welcome in this episode of What's Driving The Great is

2
00:00:04,519 --> 00:00:08,000
Speaker 1: brought to you, as always by our great friends at

3
00:00:08,119 --> 00:00:13,360
Speaker 1: boost Mobile Demons. Great to see you. A little note

4
00:00:13,400 --> 00:00:16,520
Speaker 1: for the audience. We are as we said on Tuesday.

5
00:00:16,960 --> 00:00:19,439
Speaker 1: If you're watching here today, thank you by the way,

6
00:00:19,600 --> 00:00:21,919
Speaker 1: like great subscriber review do all that stuff that helps

7
00:00:21,960 --> 00:00:27,600
Speaker 1: us out a ton if you are expecting my up

8
00:00:27,640 --> 00:00:31,920
Speaker 1: to this point in the season, decidedly average picks for

9
00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:36,280
Speaker 1: this weekend and Demandsday's up to this point on the season,

10
00:00:36,479 --> 00:00:41,000
Speaker 1: absolutely sparkling undefeated teaser that is actually coming to your

11
00:00:41,080 --> 00:00:47,120
Speaker 1: inboxes or feeds or podcast channels, YouTube, all of that Friday.

12
00:00:47,600 --> 00:00:50,920
Speaker 1: So we are going to, like like when we originally

13
00:00:50,920 --> 00:00:54,480
Speaker 1: did the show, today's show is going to be kind

14
00:00:54,480 --> 00:00:58,200
Speaker 1: of storylines, games, all of that, but our picks will

15
00:00:58,240 --> 00:01:02,880
Speaker 1: come Fridayday, and I actually, full disclosure, we'll be doing

16
00:01:02,920 --> 00:01:05,920
Speaker 1: them today, but we're doing it. We're separating into two

17
00:01:06,040 --> 00:01:09,520
Speaker 1: kind of more digestible episodes because when we do it

18
00:01:09,560 --> 00:01:13,000
Speaker 1: all together, one of two things happens. Either we race

19
00:01:13,080 --> 00:01:15,080
Speaker 1: through the picks, which I don't want to do, or

20
00:01:15,520 --> 00:01:18,319
Speaker 1: the pod becomes an hour and a half, which nobody wants.

21
00:01:18,720 --> 00:01:22,440
Speaker 1: So and so the so that will be our plan

22
00:01:22,640 --> 00:01:25,920
Speaker 1: moving forward, and so you will get those it. Also,

23
00:01:25,959 --> 00:01:29,160
Speaker 1: the only thing it prevents is the only downside, so

24
00:01:29,280 --> 00:01:32,119
Speaker 1: to speak, is it does not allow us to pick

25
00:01:32,200 --> 00:01:36,200
Speaker 1: Thursday Night as part of our picks. But that's fine

26
00:01:36,200 --> 00:01:40,880
Speaker 1: with me. We don't typically bet the Thursday night game anyway,

27
00:01:41,160 --> 00:01:44,200
Speaker 1: so that's no big deal. Everything good with you, Pale

28
00:01:44,280 --> 00:01:45,920
Speaker 1: out in La. We haven't checked in in a while.

29
00:01:45,959 --> 00:01:47,720
Speaker 1: Snake's good, life good, everything good.

30
00:01:48,160 --> 00:01:51,560
Speaker 2: Snake's good. Life's good. It's raining out here when that's rare,

31
00:01:51,680 --> 00:01:52,640
Speaker 2: so that's nice.

32
00:01:52,800 --> 00:01:56,640
Speaker 3: That's probably good. Yeah, it's definitely good. The snake like,

33
00:01:57,920 --> 00:01:58,800
Speaker 3: oh wow, how about that?

34
00:01:58,960 --> 00:02:01,360
Speaker 1: Didn't know? Oh sure, see I learned something new from

35
00:02:01,360 --> 00:02:03,720
Speaker 1: you every day, all right, straight to voicemail, brought to

36
00:02:03,760 --> 00:02:07,360
Speaker 1: you by boost Mobile. Some quarterback injuries this week lead

37
00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:11,120
Speaker 1: to some uncertainty. We'll get to that later in the show.

38
00:02:11,240 --> 00:02:13,800
Speaker 1: One that we'll get to right now. Justin Fields out

39
00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:17,160
Speaker 1: against Tampa Bay with a concussion to Rod Taylor. His

40
00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:20,079
Speaker 1: name is Tarrod Taylor, not Tyrod Taylor. That's a name

41
00:02:20,160 --> 00:02:23,240
Speaker 1: we all mispronounced. I don't know how big of a

42
00:02:23,280 --> 00:02:26,760
Speaker 1: downgrade that is. I know Fields was awesome in week one.

43
00:02:26,840 --> 00:02:28,920
Speaker 1: We didn't see much in week two because he got hurt,

44
00:02:29,080 --> 00:02:32,200
Speaker 1: but he'll be in. Shoyotani creates a new fifty to

45
00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:36,000
Speaker 1: fifty club, fifty home runs and fifty strikeouts, not as

46
00:02:36,040 --> 00:02:38,959
Speaker 1: in him striking out, but as in him striking out

47
00:02:38,960 --> 00:02:42,800
Speaker 1: fifty batters and Adam Silver talking about NBA Europe in

48
00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:46,920
Speaker 1: twenty seven or twenty eight. Adam Silver, however, might have

49
00:02:46,919 --> 00:02:48,960
Speaker 1: a little more on his hands to worry about right

50
00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:53,240
Speaker 1: now thanks to Pablo Torre's kind of intrepid journalism on

51
00:02:54,040 --> 00:02:57,880
Speaker 1: what was or wasn't going on with the Los Angeles Clippers.

52
00:02:58,240 --> 00:03:02,520
Speaker 1: Shout out to once upon my rival and now a

53
00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:05,520
Speaker 1: guy who I think just legit probably doesn't like me,

54
00:03:05,600 --> 00:03:09,480
Speaker 1: but I earned it. Pablo Torre for his tore pardon

55
00:03:09,520 --> 00:03:13,600
Speaker 1: me for his great journalism on this and seeing he

56
00:03:13,720 --> 00:03:16,280
Speaker 1: and Cuban go back and forth. It's been pretty good.

57
00:03:16,320 --> 00:03:20,320
Speaker 1: And Pablo released new information this morning. Reminder to everybody

58
00:03:20,480 --> 00:03:25,079
Speaker 1: like great, subscribe review to the pod and on YouTube,

59
00:03:25,120 --> 00:03:28,520
Speaker 1: and before we get into it, and I'll go full

60
00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:36,640
Speaker 1: here fellas a note to everyone out there in the

61
00:03:36,760 --> 00:03:41,760
Speaker 1: Takes world, which honestly is not these days just media members.

62
00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:45,600
Speaker 1: It's obviously media members, but it's also anybody with any

63
00:03:45,600 --> 00:03:50,720
Speaker 1: type of following. We joke on first things first, that

64
00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:54,200
Speaker 1: they call me mister Consistency. And while it is a

65
00:03:54,320 --> 00:03:57,080
Speaker 1: joke that that is what they call me, it is

66
00:03:57,120 --> 00:04:04,240
Speaker 1: not a joke that I try really really hard, and

67
00:04:04,320 --> 00:04:09,760
Speaker 1: one of my north stars of media and opinion and

68
00:04:09,920 --> 00:04:16,120
Speaker 1: kind of character is to try to be consistent that

69
00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:20,680
Speaker 1: what I claim to represent, what I claim to care about,

70
00:04:21,240 --> 00:04:27,320
Speaker 1: what the stances that I have sought out, that those

71
00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:33,640
Speaker 1: logically align, and I don't pick and choose. And so

72
00:04:33,760 --> 00:04:39,640
Speaker 1: let me give you a four instance. We talk more

73
00:04:39,760 --> 00:04:43,800
Speaker 1: on this show and the TV show about the Chiefs

74
00:04:44,200 --> 00:04:53,440
Speaker 1: than just about any team. If Sunday night the Chiefs

75
00:04:53,440 --> 00:04:57,560
Speaker 1: were to lose to the Giants, or this past Sunday

76
00:04:57,600 --> 00:05:00,440
Speaker 1: when they did lose to the Eagles, all of a

77
00:05:00,480 --> 00:05:05,720
Speaker 1: sudden on Tuesdays, what's right, we don't get to the Chiefs,

78
00:05:06,640 --> 00:05:11,479
Speaker 1: then I'm a fraud. Then I am picking and choosing

79
00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:15,960
Speaker 1: when I want to, you know, do what I have

80
00:05:16,120 --> 00:05:19,360
Speaker 1: made part of my brand. Right when it's good, when

81
00:05:19,920 --> 00:05:22,880
Speaker 1: I'm winning, I'm all about it, and when I'm not,

82
00:05:23,120 --> 00:05:25,680
Speaker 1: I run from it. Right that would be everyone would

83
00:05:25,680 --> 00:05:30,320
Speaker 1: look at that, obviously and clearly as fraudulent, maybe even cowardly.

84
00:05:33,320 --> 00:05:37,880
Speaker 1: The reason I say that kind of oddly, as I'm

85
00:05:37,880 --> 00:05:41,440
Speaker 1: sure some of you are wondering where this is going

86
00:05:41,520 --> 00:05:45,280
Speaker 1: before we get to the first big regular season game

87
00:05:45,320 --> 00:05:48,200
Speaker 1: the Chiefs have played in years, this Sunday Night against

88
00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:54,120
Speaker 1: the Giants is because of this if over the last

89
00:05:54,279 --> 00:05:59,839
Speaker 1: few years. And this applies to a lot of people,

90
00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:05,520
Speaker 1: be it a comic, be it a politician, be it

91
00:06:05,640 --> 00:06:11,320
Speaker 1: a talk show host, be it an internet personality. If

92
00:06:11,360 --> 00:06:18,360
Speaker 1: you have made part of your brand your allergy and

93
00:06:18,560 --> 00:06:33,640
Speaker 1: your discussed of and opposition to cancel culture, and you

94
00:06:33,760 --> 00:06:38,200
Speaker 1: are what many of you have called yourself a First

95
00:06:38,240 --> 00:06:47,160
Speaker 1: Amendment absolutist, and you haven't found the time to respond

96
00:06:47,400 --> 00:06:52,640
Speaker 1: or to talk about what is, at least at the moment,

97
00:06:54,040 --> 00:07:03,240
Speaker 1: one of the most direct and undeniable, outright attacks on

98
00:07:04,200 --> 00:07:10,640
Speaker 1: free speech by a direct state actor that we've seen,

99
00:07:12,240 --> 00:07:20,920
Speaker 1: certainly in my adult lifetime, then you're aphomy. And everyone

100
00:07:21,080 --> 00:07:26,240
Speaker 1: does not have to have an opinion on everything, and

101
00:07:26,600 --> 00:07:29,840
Speaker 1: I think it is problematic when everyone feels like they

102
00:07:29,880 --> 00:07:33,920
Speaker 1: have to chime in on everything. But if you have

103
00:07:34,160 --> 00:07:43,800
Speaker 1: made part of your brand, I am starting the free

104
00:07:43,840 --> 00:07:50,440
Speaker 1: press and I am going to rail against censorship on

105
00:07:50,760 --> 00:08:00,760
Speaker 1: college campuses and cancel culture, and you maybe correctly went

106
00:08:00,840 --> 00:08:08,480
Speaker 1: after previous administrations for trying to tamp down information that

107
00:08:08,640 --> 00:08:12,240
Speaker 1: is disseminated on social media. If that is what you're

108
00:08:12,280 --> 00:08:16,000
Speaker 1: known for, if you're one of these comedians who half

109
00:08:16,080 --> 00:08:21,840
Speaker 1: your bit these days is can't tell jokes anymore because

110
00:08:21,880 --> 00:08:32,920
Speaker 1: they'll cancel you. And you've decided to sit out what

111
00:08:33,080 --> 00:08:37,640
Speaker 1: we've seen and we'll see how it plays out. But

112
00:08:37,880 --> 00:08:42,280
Speaker 1: from the very top down of the administration, down to

113
00:08:42,320 --> 00:08:53,640
Speaker 1: the FCC, down to the temporary what's the word, not

114
00:08:53,800 --> 00:08:58,720
Speaker 1: cancelation at least as of yet, but dismissal of Jimmy Kimmel,

115
00:09:01,040 --> 00:09:06,040
Speaker 1: then you're just a fraud. And that's fine, as Wild says.

116
00:09:06,080 --> 00:09:10,240
Speaker 1: Everybody can't be mister consistency. And again, I want to

117
00:09:10,240 --> 00:09:13,720
Speaker 1: make this clear. If you have sat out a lot

118
00:09:13,760 --> 00:09:19,240
Speaker 1: of the First Amendment, cancel culture, that those conversations on

119
00:09:19,800 --> 00:09:23,160
Speaker 1: whenever it's happening, you're like, ah, not my purview. I

120
00:09:23,200 --> 00:09:25,960
Speaker 1: am not. I do not think you have a responsibility

121
00:09:26,080 --> 00:09:28,320
Speaker 1: right now to be like this is where I take

122
00:09:28,360 --> 00:09:31,880
Speaker 1: my stand. I do not feel that way. But if

123
00:09:31,880 --> 00:09:42,920
Speaker 1: that's been your brand and you are more concerned about

124
00:09:45,840 --> 00:09:55,440
Speaker 1: folks paying a potential private life penalty because of things

125
00:09:55,480 --> 00:10:01,040
Speaker 1: they've said. By and by private life, I mean being

126
00:10:01,080 --> 00:10:05,560
Speaker 1: publicly criticized or not getting booked at a theater, and

127
00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:18,280
Speaker 1: less concerned with what is outright state actor induced attempted censorship.

128
00:10:19,679 --> 00:10:21,839
Speaker 1: Then did you ever really believe it to begin with?

129
00:10:22,760 --> 00:10:25,720
Speaker 1: Or were you all just either part of a grift

130
00:10:26,400 --> 00:10:29,280
Speaker 1: or did it really only bother you when you felt

131
00:10:29,320 --> 00:10:32,839
Speaker 1: like your side was the one under attack. I don't know,

132
00:10:33,400 --> 00:10:37,240
Speaker 1: But the thing is, you do so question out there.

133
00:10:37,280 --> 00:10:40,920
Speaker 1: And by the way, I have tried to do a

134
00:10:40,960 --> 00:10:45,560
Speaker 1: really good job of staying off the internet the last day,

135
00:10:46,320 --> 00:10:48,480
Speaker 1: so I don't this is You're gonna have to take

136
00:10:48,520 --> 00:10:51,319
Speaker 1: my word for it. I don't know who I am

137
00:10:51,480 --> 00:10:54,760
Speaker 1: or who I'm not talking about here. This isn't like

138
00:10:54,800 --> 00:10:59,240
Speaker 1: a subtweet directed at some single person. Far from it.

139
00:10:59,240 --> 00:11:02,240
Speaker 1: It's just my gut tells me that a lot of

140
00:11:02,280 --> 00:11:07,360
Speaker 1: the folks who have been like more than anything, first Amendment.

141
00:11:07,679 --> 00:11:10,600
Speaker 1: That's it, that's the most That's why it's first. Okay,

142
00:11:11,520 --> 00:11:13,800
Speaker 1: there's a good test to that, and I'm curious for

143
00:11:13,840 --> 00:11:18,160
Speaker 1: everyone falls on it. With that said, demonse, welcome back in.

144
00:11:18,800 --> 00:11:20,240
Speaker 1: You want to talk Chiefs Giants.

145
00:11:20,520 --> 00:11:23,640
Speaker 3: Let's talk Chiefs Giants. A big game for your boys

146
00:11:23,679 --> 00:11:25,760
Speaker 3: over there in their own head. Yeah, so they got

147
00:11:25,800 --> 00:11:28,280
Speaker 3: the Giants this Sunday. They are zero and two for

148
00:11:28,360 --> 00:11:32,319
Speaker 3: the first time in the Mahomes era they faced the Giants. Obviously,

149
00:11:32,360 --> 00:11:34,440
Speaker 3: they are one and eleven in the last twelve at

150
00:11:34,480 --> 00:11:38,280
Speaker 3: Met Life. What is at stake for Kansas City here?

151
00:11:39,360 --> 00:11:47,520
Speaker 1: Well, I if they were to lose Sunday, I or

152
00:11:47,559 --> 00:11:49,320
Speaker 1: they're one and eleven in the last twelve night.

153
00:11:49,200 --> 00:11:51,040
Speaker 2: Game night games. So it Met Life.

154
00:11:51,120 --> 00:11:53,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, I was gonna say it wouldn't that was like that.

155
00:11:53,720 --> 00:11:56,120
Speaker 1: That number surprised me. I'm sure it's not that. I

156
00:11:56,160 --> 00:11:58,200
Speaker 1: wonder what their record is the Giants in their last

157
00:11:58,200 --> 00:12:00,640
Speaker 1: twelve last it can't be really good. Might be four

158
00:12:00,640 --> 00:12:03,199
Speaker 1: and eight, but one in eleven in the last twelve

159
00:12:03,280 --> 00:12:11,880
Speaker 1: night games. Here's the deal. If I'm being honest, I

160
00:12:12,080 --> 00:12:17,320
Speaker 1: will not if they lose Sunday, I won't feel in

161
00:12:17,440 --> 00:12:22,000
Speaker 1: my bones that they can't rally and make the playoffs.

162
00:12:22,559 --> 00:12:25,400
Speaker 1: And if the Chiefs make the playoffs, I'm sure by

163
00:12:25,440 --> 00:12:26,960
Speaker 1: the you know, if they were to fall to Owen

164
00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:29,400
Speaker 1: three and then make the playoffs, I'm sure by the

165
00:12:29,440 --> 00:12:33,319
Speaker 1: time the playoffs are all around all really like their chances.

166
00:12:33,720 --> 00:12:37,800
Speaker 1: But I am now saying sober minded before the game.

167
00:12:39,080 --> 00:12:44,480
Speaker 1: If they lose Sunday, it will signal that this team

168
00:12:44,600 --> 00:12:49,760
Speaker 1: is not a true contender the way every Chiefs team

169
00:12:49,760 --> 00:12:53,960
Speaker 1: has been since Mahomes got there, not because they can't

170
00:12:54,080 --> 00:12:59,959
Speaker 1: rally from zero to three, but because if you can't

171
00:13:00,160 --> 00:13:03,760
Speaker 1: beat the New York Giants in a game, you've got

172
00:13:03,800 --> 00:13:09,200
Speaker 1: to have without and you should have Xavier Worthy back

173
00:13:09,280 --> 00:13:12,880
Speaker 1: for it. I would think, so the only super key

174
00:13:12,920 --> 00:13:16,840
Speaker 1: player you're missing is Rashi Rice, then you're not going

175
00:13:16,880 --> 00:13:20,160
Speaker 1: to be good enough over the course of the season

176
00:13:20,760 --> 00:13:25,640
Speaker 1: to be a real super Bowl contender. So for Giants,

177
00:13:25,679 --> 00:13:28,560
Speaker 1: by the way, five and twelve at home since twenty

178
00:13:28,600 --> 00:13:30,720
Speaker 1: twenty three, So it's about what we would have thought.

179
00:13:32,120 --> 00:13:36,319
Speaker 1: So that's what's on the line. I have joked, not

180
00:13:36,440 --> 00:13:45,760
Speaker 1: really joked, that Mahomes has never had to play a

181
00:13:45,920 --> 00:13:53,280
Speaker 1: meaningful regular season game, and that is a little hyperbolic,

182
00:13:53,679 --> 00:13:57,320
Speaker 1: but in fact, I think what I've said is Mahomes

183
00:13:57,360 --> 00:14:01,760
Speaker 1: has never lost a meaningful regular season game, and that

184
00:14:02,120 --> 00:14:07,439
Speaker 1: to me was literally true until two years ago when

185
00:14:07,480 --> 00:14:09,720
Speaker 1: they actually had to go on the road in the playoffs.

186
00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:12,840
Speaker 1: With my argument having been the whole point of the

187
00:14:12,840 --> 00:14:15,240
Speaker 1: regular season is to get the best seat as possible

188
00:14:15,559 --> 00:14:18,000
Speaker 1: and to get home field in the playoffs. And if

189
00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:20,040
Speaker 1: the Chiefs have never gone on the road in the playoffs,

190
00:14:20,040 --> 00:14:22,280
Speaker 1: then none of the losses have ever hurt them. Two

191
00:14:22,360 --> 00:14:24,880
Speaker 1: years ago, when they did have to go on the

192
00:14:24,960 --> 00:14:27,760
Speaker 1: road in the playoffs, some of those losses I suppose

193
00:14:27,880 --> 00:14:32,560
Speaker 1: did hurt them, but none of those games demons felt

194
00:14:32,600 --> 00:14:39,720
Speaker 1: like they had the stakes of Sunday Night that you can,

195
00:14:40,520 --> 00:14:46,680
Speaker 1: I think explain away. The first two weeks. Week one,

196
00:14:47,600 --> 00:14:51,440
Speaker 1: whole game plans thrown off by Worthy getting hurt. They

197
00:14:51,720 --> 00:14:55,600
Speaker 1: you know, they they don't play well, they can't. Herbert's

198
00:14:55,640 --> 00:14:58,920
Speaker 1: playing out of his mind, you know. And the Chargers

199
00:14:58,960 --> 00:15:01,960
Speaker 1: win a neutral sight game okay, you know what I mean,

200
00:15:02,040 --> 00:15:07,120
Speaker 1: not what you'd hope for, but okay. Game two, the

201
00:15:08,600 --> 00:15:12,040
Speaker 1: Chiefs again can't really get the passing game going without

202
00:15:12,080 --> 00:15:16,400
Speaker 1: their two star receivers or potential star receivers. Despite that,

203
00:15:17,120 --> 00:15:20,240
Speaker 1: and despite missing a kick and despite failing on a

204
00:15:20,320 --> 00:15:24,280
Speaker 1: fourth down early in the third quarter, they're on the

205
00:15:24,320 --> 00:15:27,720
Speaker 1: precipice of taking the lead and having control of the game.

206
00:15:28,200 --> 00:15:30,760
Speaker 1: And Kelsey makes a mistake. You know what, I mean,

207
00:15:30,840 --> 00:15:34,760
Speaker 1: and you're playing a great team in Philadelphia. Fine, again,

208
00:15:35,240 --> 00:15:38,640
Speaker 1: not good and not excuses and not saying the Chiefs

209
00:15:38,680 --> 00:15:42,040
Speaker 1: deserve to win either game, but neither one of those

210
00:15:42,560 --> 00:15:45,920
Speaker 1: in a vacuum. If either one of those games had

211
00:15:45,920 --> 00:15:48,680
Speaker 1: happened in Week five or Week eight or week twelve,

212
00:15:49,640 --> 00:15:52,280
Speaker 1: no one be concerned about it. You know what I mean. Okay,

213
00:15:52,320 --> 00:15:54,680
Speaker 1: you lose a one score neutral site game to a

214
00:15:54,720 --> 00:15:57,600
Speaker 1: contender in the Chargers. You lose a three point hard

215
00:15:57,640 --> 00:16:02,600
Speaker 1: fought game to the Eagles, so be it. Because they

216
00:16:02,680 --> 00:16:05,200
Speaker 1: happen in weeks one and two, and they're on the

217
00:16:05,240 --> 00:16:08,120
Speaker 1: heels of the Chiefs getting dog walked in the super Bowl.

218
00:16:08,560 --> 00:16:15,120
Speaker 1: It feels seismic, but in reality it's understandable. Losing to

219
00:16:15,160 --> 00:16:19,480
Speaker 1: the Giants this weekend would not be understandable. It would

220
00:16:19,520 --> 00:16:26,840
Speaker 1: mean that they are there are some systemic issues with

221
00:16:27,040 --> 00:16:33,080
Speaker 1: the team for this season that are not fixable to

222
00:16:33,240 --> 00:16:37,560
Speaker 1: the tune of going on a Super Bowl run. And

223
00:16:37,640 --> 00:16:41,320
Speaker 1: so that's what's on the line for Kansas City in

224
00:16:41,360 --> 00:16:43,240
Speaker 1: this game. I know you have some follow ups.

225
00:16:43,040 --> 00:16:47,120
Speaker 3: Here, Yeah, are you still worried at all about the

226
00:16:47,160 --> 00:16:50,160
Speaker 3: pass rush and Russ coming off of probably his best

227
00:16:50,200 --> 00:16:52,120
Speaker 3: game or one of his best games in his career.

228
00:16:52,560 --> 00:16:55,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, I don't know how you can. I

229
00:16:55,360 --> 00:16:58,920
Speaker 1: don't know how you cannot be worried about the pass rush,

230
00:16:59,040 --> 00:17:04,640
Speaker 1: to be totally honest with you, Like Chris Jones tends

231
00:17:04,680 --> 00:17:07,199
Speaker 1: to get better as this season goes along. I know

232
00:17:07,280 --> 00:17:11,120
Speaker 1: he's an older player. I still believe he's the best

233
00:17:11,160 --> 00:17:15,399
Speaker 1: de tackle in football. He hasn't been dominant the first

234
00:17:15,440 --> 00:17:23,679
Speaker 1: two weeks, but I believe in Chris. The Carloftis just

235
00:17:23,720 --> 00:17:28,480
Speaker 1: got paid. Carloftis was a first round pick. Carloftis needs

236
00:17:28,520 --> 00:17:33,320
Speaker 1: to be better. And then the other guys Mike Dana

237
00:17:33,359 --> 00:17:38,560
Speaker 1: who's hurt now, Charles Amenahu who has been disappointing and

238
00:17:38,680 --> 00:17:42,199
Speaker 1: been wholly ineffective thus far this season. And then you

239
00:17:42,200 --> 00:17:48,560
Speaker 1: have Ashton Gillette Jellette my apologies a rookie, Omar Norman rookie.

240
00:17:48,600 --> 00:17:52,159
Speaker 1: They've got to be able to create some type of

241
00:17:52,280 --> 00:17:59,879
Speaker 1: pressure without sending a blitz. With that said, I Russ

242
00:18:00,119 --> 00:18:02,840
Speaker 1: having four hundred and fifty yards last week, to me,

243
00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:09,120
Speaker 1: does not play into this at all. Like I last week,

244
00:18:09,240 --> 00:18:13,520
Speaker 1: Russ was unbelievable. I don't think that was him all

245
00:18:13,560 --> 00:18:16,679
Speaker 1: of a sudden turning back the clock permanently. I think

246
00:18:16,720 --> 00:18:20,280
Speaker 1: that was him turning back the clock for an evening. Now,

247
00:18:21,240 --> 00:18:32,119
Speaker 1: let me give you the bright side of if they win. Okay,

248
00:18:32,200 --> 00:18:35,480
Speaker 1: if they win, and I believe they will win, I

249
00:18:35,480 --> 00:18:38,440
Speaker 1: don't necessarily think it'll be pretty. I don't necessarily think

250
00:18:38,480 --> 00:18:43,520
Speaker 1: it'll be easy. But I am narrow deep confident they'll win.

251
00:18:47,400 --> 00:18:52,840
Speaker 1: They win all of a sudden, they are playing a

252
00:18:52,880 --> 00:18:58,320
Speaker 1: Week four game to totally flip every narrative that's existed

253
00:18:58,320 --> 00:19:01,000
Speaker 1: thus far. Because you know who come to Kansas City

254
00:19:01,040 --> 00:19:08,600
Speaker 1: in Week four? Your Baltimore Ravens and the so the

255
00:19:08,600 --> 00:19:10,120
Speaker 1: the what are you shaking your head about?

256
00:19:10,200 --> 00:19:11,760
Speaker 2: Tell me, no, boys need to be worried.

257
00:19:13,160 --> 00:19:16,080
Speaker 1: Oh the Chiefs need to be worried. Maybe, but but

258
00:19:16,280 --> 00:19:19,320
Speaker 1: just follow me down this path. The point I'm making

259
00:19:19,520 --> 00:19:24,080
Speaker 1: is the Chiefs then will have in front of them

260
00:19:24,480 --> 00:19:29,440
Speaker 1: the ability, if they win Sunday, to say, we win

261
00:19:29,560 --> 00:19:34,400
Speaker 1: this home game against a team we literally always beat,

262
00:19:35,040 --> 00:19:39,280
Speaker 1: and they're the AFC contender everyone's worried about. We get

263
00:19:39,320 --> 00:19:42,800
Speaker 1: the whole people freaked out about the Chiefs. They had

264
00:19:42,800 --> 00:19:46,560
Speaker 1: this brutal opening schedule. You know, they dealt with an injury,

265
00:19:46,600 --> 00:19:49,600
Speaker 1: dealt with the suspension. They're two and two anyway, and

266
00:19:49,720 --> 00:19:53,639
Speaker 1: Baltimore leaves that game at best too and two, and

267
00:19:53,680 --> 00:19:56,360
Speaker 1: we'll see what happens in Baltimore Detroit on Monday night

268
00:19:56,720 --> 00:19:58,800
Speaker 1: or I don't know if that's Monday or Sunday whatever,

269
00:19:59,480 --> 00:20:00,000
Speaker 1: Sunday night.

270
00:20:00,119 --> 00:20:01,560
Speaker 2: They actually it is Monday, what I know.

271
00:20:01,600 --> 00:20:04,000
Speaker 1: It's a night game. Oh no, the Chiefs Monday Sunday

272
00:20:04,080 --> 00:20:07,639
Speaker 1: night obviously, so it's Monday night. And maybe Baltimore is

273
00:20:07,680 --> 00:20:12,080
Speaker 1: the team everyone's freaking out about, right, And so certainly

274
00:20:12,119 --> 00:20:15,520
Speaker 1: if Baltimore loses to Detroit, people will be freaking out

275
00:20:15,560 --> 00:20:18,080
Speaker 1: if they fall to one and three, so they just

276
00:20:18,160 --> 00:20:23,000
Speaker 1: have the opportunity to turn the whole thing. It will

277
00:20:24,400 --> 00:20:29,280
Speaker 1: not feel that way at all if they lose to

278
00:20:29,320 --> 00:20:32,680
Speaker 1: the Giants. If they lose to the Giants, they will

279
00:20:32,720 --> 00:20:35,520
Speaker 1: just feel like a bad team with a great quarterback.

280
00:20:36,200 --> 00:20:39,600
Speaker 1: And I don't believe that's what they are, but they

281
00:20:39,640 --> 00:20:41,240
Speaker 1: got to go prove it Sunday night.

282
00:20:43,400 --> 00:20:46,400
Speaker 3: So you have seven teams above the Chiefs right now,

283
00:20:46,560 --> 00:20:47,159
Speaker 3: and the Tears.

284
00:20:47,200 --> 00:20:48,399
Speaker 2: I know that has to kill you.

285
00:20:48,760 --> 00:20:50,800
Speaker 3: Is this the worst that you felt about the Mahomes

286
00:20:51,200 --> 00:20:53,159
Speaker 3: the worst that you felt about the Chiefs in the

287
00:20:53,200 --> 00:20:53,800
Speaker 3: Mahomes era.

288
00:20:54,880 --> 00:21:02,800
Speaker 1: No, the worst I felt about them was post It

289
00:21:02,880 --> 00:21:08,000
Speaker 1: was the twenty twenty one season. They had just gotten

290
00:21:08,280 --> 00:21:14,440
Speaker 1: annihilated by the Bucks in the Super Bowl, and that

291
00:21:14,600 --> 00:21:19,520
Speaker 1: next year, not only did they start three and four,

292
00:21:20,400 --> 00:21:24,800
Speaker 1: but some ugly moments. Week one, they were playing Cleveland

293
00:21:25,400 --> 00:21:33,000
Speaker 1: and escaped with a win. Week two, Baltimore goes for

294
00:21:33,080 --> 00:21:38,400
Speaker 1: a fourth down late and beats them. Week three the Chargers,

295
00:21:39,280 --> 00:21:43,920
Speaker 1: if I beat them at the buzzer essentially, and then

296
00:21:44,000 --> 00:21:49,600
Speaker 1: week five they get annihilated by the Bills. And then

297
00:21:49,720 --> 00:21:56,280
Speaker 1: week seven they get annihilated twenty seven to three by

298
00:21:56,440 --> 00:22:04,399
Speaker 1: the Titans. The Titans, and and so that team fell

299
00:22:04,440 --> 00:22:08,359
Speaker 1: to three and four, and you know, at that point,

300
00:22:08,440 --> 00:22:11,000
Speaker 1: I guess you include the Super Bowl, had lost five

301
00:22:11,040 --> 00:22:15,960
Speaker 1: out of eight and it was up until that Super

302
00:22:16,000 --> 00:22:19,960
Speaker 1: Bowl against the Bucks, Mahomes had never lost a game

303
00:22:20,040 --> 00:22:23,120
Speaker 1: by more than eight points. And then all of a sudden,

304
00:22:23,359 --> 00:22:25,760
Speaker 1: they get blasted in the Super Bowl. They get beat

305
00:22:25,840 --> 00:22:28,920
Speaker 1: by eighteen by Buffalo, they get beat by twenty four

306
00:22:29,000 --> 00:22:31,920
Speaker 1: by Tennessee, and a span of you know, two months

307
00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:35,960
Speaker 1: or two football months, that was the low point. Now

308
00:22:36,080 --> 00:22:39,520
Speaker 1: that team ended up going from three and four to

309
00:22:39,600 --> 00:22:43,200
Speaker 1: twelve and five, and then in the AFC Championship game

310
00:22:43,320 --> 00:22:45,639
Speaker 1: up twenty one to three at a half time before

311
00:22:45,680 --> 00:22:49,239
Speaker 1: that second half meltdown against Cincinnati. And that was the

312
00:22:49,280 --> 00:22:52,880
Speaker 1: only year in this six year stretch they haven't made

313
00:22:52,960 --> 00:22:56,480
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl. But that was the worst I've ever

314
00:22:56,560 --> 00:23:01,320
Speaker 1: felt about them. This this so this the Giants.

315
00:23:01,640 --> 00:23:03,840
Speaker 3: Okay, yeah, I was a let's say, with the Giants

316
00:23:03,920 --> 00:23:05,760
Speaker 3: win on Sunday, it's getting.

317
00:23:05,920 --> 00:23:08,600

349
00:24:51,800 --> 00:24:56,879
Speaker 1: get on to what actually might be. This might be

350
00:24:56,960 --> 00:25:00,600
Speaker 1: a better game than Detroit Baltimore. It's so certainly the

351
00:25:00,640 --> 00:25:02,040
Speaker 1: best game of Sunday.

352
00:25:03,480 --> 00:25:04,280
Speaker 2: That might be boring.

353
00:25:05,160 --> 00:25:08,800
Speaker 3: We got a divisional round rematch between the Rams and Philly.

354
00:25:09,359 --> 00:25:11,080
Speaker 3: So if you think back to last year, this team

355
00:25:11,200 --> 00:25:13,919
Speaker 3: was twenty yards away from beating Philly. Who do you

356
00:25:13,960 --> 00:25:16,399
Speaker 3: think has more to prove this time come around?

357
00:25:17,640 --> 00:25:19,840
Speaker 1: Which one might be boring? Are you saying.

358
00:25:19,640 --> 00:25:22,280
Speaker 2: Detroit Philly Rams? Oh?

359
00:25:22,320 --> 00:25:24,080
Speaker 1: Why would Philly Rams be boring?

360
00:25:24,840 --> 00:25:26,280
Speaker 2: They might not throw the ball, dude.

361
00:25:26,520 --> 00:25:28,080
Speaker 3: I mean they might go a little bit or do

362
00:25:28,160 --> 00:25:30,560
Speaker 3: with everything that they need to do to get the game.

363
00:25:30,600 --> 00:25:32,200
Speaker 2: But I don't think it's going to be a light

364
00:25:32,200 --> 00:25:33,200
Speaker 2: show or anything like that.

365
00:25:33,640 --> 00:25:36,600
Speaker 1: All Right, No, I agree with you. I don't think

366
00:25:36,640 --> 00:25:39,440
Speaker 1: this is going to be a recreation of Baltimore Buffalo

367
00:25:39,520 --> 00:25:42,720
Speaker 1: Week one, which, by the way, as did you hear

368
00:25:44,000 --> 00:25:49,640
Speaker 1: what I think it was? DraftKings said about that Week

369
00:25:49,680 --> 00:25:53,840
Speaker 1: one Baltimore Buffalo game. It was the single worst game

370
00:25:54,280 --> 00:25:59,600
Speaker 1: for them, No, the single the single biggest loser for

371
00:25:59,680 --> 00:26:04,760
Speaker 1: them ever. Okay, because if you guys remember what I

372
00:26:04,800 --> 00:26:10,800
Speaker 1: talked about all the early money was Baltimore plus a

373
00:26:10,840 --> 00:26:13,440
Speaker 1: point and a half. All the late money was Buffalo

374
00:26:13,880 --> 00:26:16,080
Speaker 1: plus a point and a half. You then, so they

375
00:26:16,160 --> 00:26:18,880
Speaker 1: lost both sides of it, with Buffalo winning by one.

376
00:26:19,240 --> 00:26:23,240
Speaker 1: You then add to it, demons, when when you have

377
00:26:23,320 --> 00:26:27,320
Speaker 1: that many touchdowns and that many points, nobody's betting unders

378
00:26:27,320 --> 00:26:29,480
Speaker 1: on player props. You know what I mean. People are

379
00:26:29,520 --> 00:26:34,400
Speaker 1: betting overs and touchdown scores, and in game betting, they're

380
00:26:34,400 --> 00:26:40,320
Speaker 1: betting underdogs live betting. You know, yeah, exactly right. So

381
00:26:40,400 --> 00:26:45,840
Speaker 1: they said that was their single worst result ever. When

382
00:26:45,840 --> 00:26:48,360
Speaker 1: you put it all together, it's not surprising, all right,

383
00:26:49,040 --> 00:26:57,760
Speaker 1: Rams Eagles. Who has more to prove? This is tricky

384
00:26:57,840 --> 00:27:01,280
Speaker 1: because I think the Rams. I think the Ram the

385
00:27:01,280 --> 00:27:03,359
Speaker 1: only team to beat the Rams. D I have this right,

386
00:27:03,400 --> 00:27:05,520
Speaker 1: I'm gonna double check. I think the only team to

387
00:27:05,560 --> 00:27:10,720
Speaker 1: beat the Rams when yeah, since week eleven of last year,

388
00:27:11,240 --> 00:27:17,359
Speaker 1: when when they've played their starters, is the m is Philadelphia,

389
00:27:17,720 --> 00:27:22,760
Speaker 1: and Philadelphia's beaten them twice. The Rams since week eleven

390
00:27:22,840 --> 00:27:26,720
Speaker 1: of last year have beaten New England, New Orleans, Buffalo,

391
00:27:26,760 --> 00:27:33,720
Speaker 1: San Francisco, New York, Arizona, UH Minnesota, and then Houston, Tennessee.

392
00:27:34,240 --> 00:27:38,760
Speaker 1: And they're zero to two against Philly. So and this is,

393
00:27:38,920 --> 00:27:41,960
Speaker 1: you know, they're the defending NFC champs. Obviously they're defending

394
00:27:41,960 --> 00:27:47,280
Speaker 1: Super Bowl champs, so one would think the Rams Philly,

395
00:27:47,359 --> 00:27:52,560
Speaker 1: on the other hand, has been really weird this year

396
00:27:53,600 --> 00:28:00,719
Speaker 1: because they are so unwilling to throw the ball and

397
00:28:00,800 --> 00:28:04,840
Speaker 1: when they do throw it, they are so unwilling to

398
00:28:04,920 --> 00:28:09,400
Speaker 1: throw it more than three yards past the line of scrimmage.

399
00:28:09,640 --> 00:28:18,600
Speaker 1: And the only reason I feel that this has not

400
00:28:18,760 --> 00:28:22,400
Speaker 1: and this is understandable, this has not been more of

401
00:28:22,440 --> 00:28:27,040
Speaker 1: a story is like where aj Brown is really upset

402
00:28:27,680 --> 00:28:36,000
Speaker 1: is because they're winning. Like, do I think had Kelsey

403
00:28:36,320 --> 00:28:39,920
Speaker 1: held onto that ball and the Eagles were or Ceedee

404
00:28:40,000 --> 00:28:42,440
Speaker 1: Lamb held onto that ball and the Eagles lost either

405
00:28:42,440 --> 00:28:45,840
Speaker 1: one of these games, would AJ Brown be as okay

406
00:28:45,960 --> 00:28:48,600
Speaker 1: publicly as he's been with the fact that they're just

407
00:28:48,640 --> 00:28:50,360
Speaker 1: not getting him the ball. They won't throw the ball

408
00:28:50,400 --> 00:28:50,960
Speaker 1: down the field.

409
00:28:51,080 --> 00:28:51,520
Speaker 2: I don't know.

410
00:28:52,680 --> 00:29:04,720
Speaker 1: Do I think a lingering, lurking potential story is could

411
00:29:04,840 --> 00:29:08,920
Speaker 1: Mike Vrabel, the head coach of the New England Patriots,

412
00:29:11,480 --> 00:29:15,280
Speaker 1: try to make a play before the deadline for the

413
00:29:15,320 --> 00:29:18,880
Speaker 1: player he used to have in Tennessee who a lot

414
00:29:18,880 --> 00:29:22,520
Speaker 1: of people believe what fractured his relationship with the Titans.

415
00:29:23,080 --> 00:29:27,960
Speaker 1: Was the Titans trading away AJ Brown to Philadelphia? Do

416
00:29:28,000 --> 00:29:33,840
Speaker 1: I think that is possible if things go a little

417
00:29:33,840 --> 00:29:37,320
Speaker 1: awry for the Eagles? I do do. I think that

418
00:29:38,640 --> 00:29:43,480
Speaker 1: while Jailing, to his credit, clearly does not care how

419
00:29:43,520 --> 00:29:46,960
Speaker 1: it looks as long as they win, that that might

420
00:29:47,040 --> 00:29:49,720
Speaker 1: not be how everyone feels.

421
00:29:50,000 --> 00:29:54,000
Speaker 2: I think J Brown is, like, could selfishly be hoping

422
00:29:54,040 --> 00:29:57,640
Speaker 2: that they lose the game. No, no, no, no, I don't

423
00:29:57,640 --> 00:29:58,080
Speaker 2: think that.

424
00:29:58,200 --> 00:30:01,080
Speaker 1: I think AJ Brown is hoping you throw me the

425
00:30:01,160 --> 00:30:04,560
Speaker 1: damn ball that I get to show everyone, remind everyone

426
00:30:04,600 --> 00:30:07,080
Speaker 1: how good I am. I just don't know that they're

427
00:30:07,080 --> 00:30:11,600
Speaker 1: gonna do that, right, I also think yeah. And but

428
00:30:11,760 --> 00:30:14,200
Speaker 1: here's what's interesting about the Eagles thus far this year.

429
00:30:14,680 --> 00:30:18,640
Speaker 1: Last year, it was really hard to complain about the

430
00:30:18,680 --> 00:30:24,040
Speaker 1: Eagles anything because after Week four last year, they didn't

431
00:30:24,040 --> 00:30:28,880
Speaker 1: lose a single time. When Jalen played and Saquon was

432
00:30:29,160 --> 00:30:35,360
Speaker 1: breaking records every weekend running, the offense looked amazing. This year,

433
00:30:35,600 --> 00:30:39,440
Speaker 1: that is not the case. Saquan's been relatively bottled up

434
00:30:39,480 --> 00:30:41,680
Speaker 1: each of the two weeks, and the offense has looked

435
00:30:42,000 --> 00:30:50,400
Speaker 1: stuck in the mud. The other The other interesting factor

436
00:30:50,480 --> 00:30:54,000
Speaker 1: here is in a week when the Tush Push has

437
00:30:54,080 --> 00:31:00,440
Speaker 1: been so in the news the while the past ers

438
00:31:01,560 --> 00:31:04,400
Speaker 1: we're at the forefront of trying to get the Toush

439
00:31:04,440 --> 00:31:09,040
Speaker 1: Push band with Matt Lafleur, the vice president of that movement,

440
00:31:09,080 --> 00:31:12,560
Speaker 1: with Sean McVey, and Sean McVay was on the record

441
00:31:12,840 --> 00:31:14,840
Speaker 1: who said, he goes listen, I'm probably just a hater

442
00:31:15,000 --> 00:31:17,560
Speaker 1: because we can't stop it. But I also don't, you know,

443
00:31:17,720 --> 00:31:19,880
Speaker 1: don't like how it looks, don't like it, wanted to

444
00:31:19,960 --> 00:31:22,280
Speaker 1: have it banned. So I think there are a lot

445
00:31:22,320 --> 00:31:27,600
Speaker 1: of really juicy storylines in this game. I also think

446
00:31:28,720 --> 00:31:32,840
Speaker 1: these are two great teams. Here is my concern. If

447
00:31:32,840 --> 00:31:39,320
Speaker 1: I'm Philly or potentially great teams, I should say, what

448
00:31:39,360 --> 00:31:45,360
Speaker 1: are we doing with the receiver that Quinnon Mitchell isn't on,

449
00:31:46,320 --> 00:31:49,560
Speaker 1: Like Puka and Davante, one of them isn't gonna have

450
00:31:49,640 --> 00:31:55,200
Speaker 1: quinnyon Mitchell on him and Adri Jackson ain't the answer.

451
00:31:56,360 --> 00:32:01,040
Speaker 1: And so I find that I cannot wait for this game.

452
00:32:01,320 --> 00:32:03,200
Speaker 1: We'll see if it's one of my picks in our

453
00:32:03,240 --> 00:32:06,280
Speaker 1: gambling show. If it were to be one of my picks,

454
00:32:06,680 --> 00:32:09,000
Speaker 1: I would be going with the Rams plus the points

455
00:32:09,160 --> 00:32:11,760
Speaker 1: because I think the Rams absolutely can win and I

456
00:32:11,840 --> 00:32:18,920
Speaker 1: think there was a lot of emotional There could be

457
00:32:18,960 --> 00:32:23,720
Speaker 1: some emotional fatigue for Philly after that Chiefs game and

458
00:32:23,800 --> 00:32:27,040
Speaker 1: all of a sudden where they're having to defend their

459
00:32:27,040 --> 00:32:30,560
Speaker 1: beloved push push to the media because folks are finally

460
00:32:30,600 --> 00:32:33,920
Speaker 1: picking up on that. They're lined up off sides almost

461
00:32:33,960 --> 00:32:36,760
Speaker 1: every single time, and they jump most of the time.

462
00:32:37,680 --> 00:32:42,400
Speaker 1: And so that is and listen back to back Philly's

463
00:32:42,480 --> 00:32:48,040
Speaker 1: opening season schedule, Brutal Cowboys, Chiefs, Rams Bucks. Now two

464
00:32:48,120 --> 00:32:51,479
Speaker 1: and zero is the best you can hope for Rams Bucks,

465
00:32:51,560 --> 00:32:54,920
Speaker 1: really tough ones, really interested in seeing them both. See

466
00:32:54,920 --> 00:32:56,480
Speaker 1: if it's one of my picks. In a bit, let's

467
00:32:56,480 --> 00:32:59,400
Speaker 1: get to the other game of the weekend, except it's

468
00:32:59,400 --> 00:32:59,960
Speaker 1: Monday night.

469
00:33:00,480 --> 00:33:02,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, so my Ravens are facing off the Lions on

470
00:33:02,880 --> 00:33:05,600
Speaker 3: Monday Night. Now, both these teams are coming off of

471
00:33:05,760 --> 00:33:09,160
Speaker 3: dominant Week two performances or top three in points per

472
00:33:09,200 --> 00:33:12,520
Speaker 3: game this year. Both of them were staring at one and.

473
00:33:12,480 --> 00:33:14,760
Speaker 2: Two with the loss. Though who needs this game more?

474
00:33:17,520 --> 00:33:21,320
Speaker 1: I think it's Baltimore because they have the Chiefs next,

475
00:33:21,960 --> 00:33:27,720
Speaker 1: and because I don't think Baltimore is ready to punt,

476
00:33:28,240 --> 00:33:30,880
Speaker 1: not that they would be punting on it, but ready

477
00:33:30,920 --> 00:33:35,600
Speaker 1: to punt on the one seed. And what the Lions

478
00:33:35,720 --> 00:33:39,360
Speaker 1: know is after this game they have the Browns and

479
00:33:39,400 --> 00:33:42,760
Speaker 1: then the Bengals without Joe Burrow. So the Lions, even

480
00:33:42,760 --> 00:33:45,600
Speaker 1: with the loss and they're on the road, can steady

481
00:33:45,640 --> 00:33:51,440
Speaker 1: themselves a bit. Baltimore, on the other hand, beating the

482
00:33:51,480 --> 00:33:54,240
Speaker 1: Browns is nice, but it doesn't make you feel great.

483
00:33:54,400 --> 00:33:57,640
Speaker 1: It's just like, Okay, we beat the Browns, bolt and

484
00:33:58,440 --> 00:34:03,080
Speaker 1: I don't care how shaky the Chiefs look. Everyone on

485
00:34:03,120 --> 00:34:06,760
Speaker 1: that Baltimore team has had trouble beating Kansas City their

486
00:34:06,800 --> 00:34:10,440
Speaker 1: whole career. And so this is a home game at

487
00:34:10,560 --> 00:34:14,919
Speaker 1: night against the Lions team that when they played one

488
00:34:14,960 --> 00:34:18,400
Speaker 1: of the big Boys, got dominated. That twenty seven to

489
00:34:18,440 --> 00:34:22,320
Speaker 1: thirteen Packer game was not as close as that score suggests.

490
00:34:22,560 --> 00:34:25,680
Speaker 1: That game was twenty seven to six and green Bay

491
00:34:25,760 --> 00:34:28,719
Speaker 1: coasted home and Isaac Teslat made one of his two

492
00:34:29,280 --> 00:34:33,560
Speaker 1: amazing catches this season, and they got you know, they

493
00:34:33,600 --> 00:34:38,160
Speaker 1: made it, I guess somewhat respectable. I'm also you know,

494
00:34:38,680 --> 00:34:41,360
Speaker 1: Derrick Henry has had one of the best games of

495
00:34:41,360 --> 00:34:44,520
Speaker 1: his career and then followed it up with one of

496
00:34:44,560 --> 00:34:47,319
Speaker 1: the worst games of his career. So I find that,

497
00:34:47,640 --> 00:34:51,320
Speaker 1: you know, fascinating going into it. This is your team, Demanse,

498
00:34:52,040 --> 00:34:55,640
Speaker 1: what's your confidence level going into this game.

499
00:34:56,239 --> 00:34:59,120
Speaker 3: Oh, I'm pretty confident. I'd say like out of a ten,

500
00:34:59,200 --> 00:35:01,960
Speaker 3: it'd be like eight, eight or nine. I think the

501
00:35:02,000 --> 00:35:04,160
Speaker 3: Lions are a good team, but I think we'll take

502
00:35:04,160 --> 00:35:05,040
Speaker 3: care of business.

503
00:35:06,000 --> 00:35:06,399
Speaker 2: I am.

504
00:35:06,800 --> 00:35:13,759
Speaker 1: Here's my concern for Baltimore. I don't love at all

505
00:35:14,280 --> 00:35:17,640
Speaker 1: the back end of their defense. I like Kyle Hamilton.

506
00:35:17,680 --> 00:35:20,640
Speaker 1: The rest of it to me is question marks. And

507
00:35:20,920 --> 00:35:22,800
Speaker 1: now last year that was the case. Early in the

508
00:35:22,840 --> 00:35:24,959
Speaker 1: year and the second half of the year they were unbelievable.

509
00:35:26,719 --> 00:35:29,040
Speaker 1: They clearly thought it might be a need. They went

510
00:35:29,080 --> 00:35:32,040
Speaker 1: out and got Jayurr Alexander He's a healthy scratch.

511
00:35:32,160 --> 00:35:33,640
Speaker 2: Week two. It was weird.

512
00:35:33,640 --> 00:35:35,560
Speaker 1: They were like, he's not listed on the injury report,

513
00:35:35,640 --> 00:35:38,600
Speaker 1: but this is injury related, but either way, he's inactive.

514
00:35:39,200 --> 00:35:43,719
Speaker 1: The Lions, if they can protect golf, they just have

515
00:35:44,080 --> 00:35:48,440
Speaker 1: so many weapons. And Jamison Williams, even though he's first

516
00:35:48,440 --> 00:35:53,880
Speaker 1: team All Knucklehead, is a hard guy to deal with. Obviously,

517
00:35:53,880 --> 00:35:57,120
Speaker 1: Aman Ross Saint Brown's great, Gibbs is great, Laporte is

518
00:35:57,160 --> 00:36:02,160
Speaker 1: really good. I it feels like a game that if

519
00:36:02,719 --> 00:36:07,680
Speaker 1: Baltimore can't get there with four, Detroit is going it's

520
00:36:08,719 --> 00:36:10,680
Speaker 1: to be able to move the ball and that this

521
00:36:10,800 --> 00:36:14,279
Speaker 1: is going to be a shootout, which I guess. Go

522
00:36:14,320 --> 00:36:21,680
Speaker 1: ahead and listen. DeAndre Hopkins has made three catches this year,

523
00:36:22,040 --> 00:36:24,960
Speaker 1: it should have been three touchdowns, one who was ruled

524
00:36:24,960 --> 00:36:27,719
Speaker 1: down at the half yard line. Zay Flowers, who I've

525
00:36:27,760 --> 00:36:30,760
Speaker 1: never been a huge believer in, has looked really good.

526
00:36:31,040 --> 00:36:35,200
Speaker 1: And Lamar's playing like there's no I mean, that's you know,

527
00:36:35,280 --> 00:36:38,279
Speaker 1: that's almost a given at this point. But Lamar is,

528
00:36:38,320 --> 00:36:42,560
Speaker 1: even by his standards, really playing great football, and so no,

529
00:36:42,680 --> 00:36:43,239
Speaker 1: I think this.

530
00:36:43,320 --> 00:36:46,920
Speaker 2: Would be a quarterback passer ready.

531
00:36:46,719 --> 00:36:52,839
Speaker 3: Ever he's got yeah, he just right.

532
00:36:53,000 --> 00:36:56,120
Speaker 1: It was Mahomes. Mahomes then dipped a bit, Rogers took

533
00:36:56,120 --> 00:36:58,319
Speaker 1: it back, and now Lamar's ahead of both of them. Now,

534
00:36:58,400 --> 00:37:02,799
Speaker 1: by the way, contractually obligated to remind the audience if

535
00:37:02,800 --> 00:37:06,920
Speaker 1: it's career quarterback passer rating regular season plus the playoffs,

536
00:37:07,000 --> 00:37:10,480
Speaker 1: Mahome still has the record for regular season, only it's Lamar's.

537
00:37:12,160 --> 00:37:14,960
Speaker 1: And I know this is the highest total of the weekend.

538
00:37:15,800 --> 00:37:18,239
Speaker 1: And I don't really bet totals, but if I were

539
00:37:18,320 --> 00:37:22,719
Speaker 1: to to me, this is an overgame, and I just

540
00:37:22,800 --> 00:37:26,680
Speaker 1: think that this feels to me like thirty one twenty

541
00:37:26,760 --> 00:37:32,400
Speaker 1: eight type of thirty one twenty seven, high flying, high scoring,

542
00:37:33,239 --> 00:37:36,839
Speaker 1: maybe last team with the ball type of game. All right,

543
00:37:36,920 --> 00:37:39,560
Speaker 1: let me we got a new sponsor. I want to

573
00:39:30,960 --> 00:39:33,520
Speaker 2: Uh yes, So everybody's expecting tonight to be a blowout.

574
00:39:33,680 --> 00:39:35,520
Speaker 3: I think it's a well, I don't think it's Buffalo

575
00:39:35,719 --> 00:39:40,080
Speaker 3: minus twelve or twelve point favorites. Everybody's expecting this to

576
00:39:40,080 --> 00:39:43,759
Speaker 3: be a pivotal game for Mike McDaniel's career. Now they're

577
00:39:43,800 --> 00:39:46,040
Speaker 3: going to have some time with them playing the following

578
00:39:46,080 --> 00:39:48,640
Speaker 3: Monday or I guess the next next Monday, so they'll

579
00:39:48,680 --> 00:39:49,520
Speaker 3: be able to fire him.

580
00:39:49,760 --> 00:39:51,560
Speaker 2: How does this game. Need to look for McDaniel to

581
00:39:51,640 --> 00:39:53,279
Speaker 2: keep his job. What are you expecting here?

582
00:39:54,000 --> 00:39:56,439
Speaker 1: Listen? If they get embarrassed. I do think he could

583
00:39:56,480 --> 00:40:00,279
Speaker 1: be the rare coach fired in September. That to me

584
00:40:00,400 --> 00:40:05,799
Speaker 1: is almost always a process mistake, Like if you didn't

585
00:40:05,800 --> 00:40:08,280
Speaker 1: want to fire a coach in the offseason, only giving

586
00:40:08,320 --> 00:40:12,200
Speaker 1: him three games to me is usually pretty ridiculous. But

587
00:40:13,680 --> 00:40:17,399
Speaker 1: it's been really ugly in Miami. Week one was as

588
00:40:17,440 --> 00:40:19,799
Speaker 1: bad as it gets, and then Week two is kind

589
00:40:19,800 --> 00:40:21,919
Speaker 1: of a heart wrenching loss that you could have won.

590
00:40:23,560 --> 00:40:28,279
Speaker 1: They can't get embarrassed tonight. Now, what I will tell

591
00:40:28,320 --> 00:40:34,759
Speaker 1: you about tonight's game is the Bill's injury report that

592
00:40:34,880 --> 00:40:38,640
Speaker 1: I saw yesterday, which obviously is the last one of

593
00:40:38,680 --> 00:40:46,080
Speaker 1: the week. Gave me pause. Okay, the Bill's injuries are

594
00:40:46,400 --> 00:40:51,080
Speaker 1: all on the defensive side of the ball, and it's important.

595
00:40:51,120 --> 00:41:00,360
Speaker 1: Guys Ed Oliver listed as out, Matt Mulano listed as out, Taranjahnson,

596
00:41:00,520 --> 00:41:05,280
Speaker 1: and Cam Lewis listed as questionable, with Shaq Thompson listed

597
00:41:05,400 --> 00:41:11,000
Speaker 1: as questionable. Now, the only noteworthy dolphin that's listed as

598
00:41:11,080 --> 00:41:16,279
Speaker 1: out to me is Darren Waller. Obviously, storm Duck and

599
00:41:16,320 --> 00:41:19,480
Speaker 1: one of their safeties is also out. I think Waller

600
00:41:19,600 --> 00:41:22,759
Speaker 1: is probably the biggest loss of the three, maybe Storm Duck,

601
00:41:22,760 --> 00:41:27,399
Speaker 1: but Storm Duck honestly is probably just people know him

602
00:41:27,400 --> 00:41:29,600
Speaker 1: because he's got a sick name, not necessarily because he's

603
00:41:29,600 --> 00:41:38,919
Speaker 1: a great player. This is going to be a very

604
00:41:38,960 --> 00:41:42,680
Speaker 1: popular Survivor pick. If people are betting Survivor on Thursdays,

605
00:41:43,400 --> 00:41:48,840
Speaker 1: they Josh Allen has absolutely owned Tua and the Dolphins.

606
00:41:49,400 --> 00:41:54,000
Speaker 1: All we know all of this, and the Bills should

607
00:41:54,040 --> 00:41:55,319
Speaker 1: blow them out.

608
00:41:55,920 --> 00:41:57,080
Speaker 2: They just should.

609
00:41:58,040 --> 00:42:03,440
Speaker 1: The defensive injuries for Buffalo concerned me a bit because

610
00:42:04,000 --> 00:42:10,879
Speaker 1: what we do know is if Toua has time and

611
00:42:10,920 --> 00:42:15,759
Speaker 1: you can't disrupt the rhythm of the offense, that offense

612
00:42:15,840 --> 00:42:18,600
Speaker 1: can be really good. And so.

613
00:42:20,440 --> 00:42:22,879
Speaker 2: In New England, yeah.

614
00:42:22,480 --> 00:42:25,840
Speaker 1: Right, he had the terrible pick late and he also

615
00:42:26,480 --> 00:42:29,440
Speaker 1: you know, took the sack late like it ended terribly,

616
00:42:29,840 --> 00:42:34,239
Speaker 1: but you saw how potent that offense in theory can

617
00:42:34,320 --> 00:42:39,960
Speaker 1: be intermittently in that game. And so I would not

618
00:42:40,160 --> 00:42:44,440
Speaker 1: bet this game either way. I certainly think thirty five

619
00:42:44,560 --> 00:42:50,560
Speaker 1: to ten Buffalo is on the board, But is there

620
00:42:50,600 --> 00:42:57,319
Speaker 1: a is there a chance that at the end of

621
00:42:57,320 --> 00:43:02,680
Speaker 1: the first quarter this is fourteen nothing Miami and then

622
00:43:02,760 --> 00:43:05,520
Speaker 1: Buffalo is like fighting its way back the rest of

623
00:43:05,560 --> 00:43:10,720
Speaker 1: the way. It it's Thursday, which is adds some weird

624
00:43:10,760 --> 00:43:14,120
Speaker 1: stuff to it. Is this me just wish casting, because

625
00:43:14,560 --> 00:43:17,640
Speaker 1: you know, I want the Chiefs not to be eliminated

626
00:43:17,680 --> 00:43:21,200
Speaker 1: from the one seed conversation by the end of September. Maybe,

627
00:43:21,560 --> 00:43:27,560
Speaker 1: But those bills injuries concern me just enough that I'm

628
00:43:27,600 --> 00:43:31,479
Speaker 1: going to give Miami a puncher's chance in this game.

629
00:43:32,040 --> 00:43:37,480
Speaker 1: I also think that Tua saying, and I don't know

630
00:43:37,480 --> 00:43:39,880
Speaker 1: if we talked about this on this show yet, Tua

631
00:43:40,000 --> 00:43:45,359
Speaker 1: saying like I can't run or throw like Josh was unfortunate.

632
00:43:46,360 --> 00:43:49,719
Speaker 1: Like that's just like Tua gave a quote like he

633
00:43:49,840 --> 00:43:54,120
Speaker 1: were a backup quarterback stepping in rather than a guy

634
00:43:54,160 --> 00:43:59,040
Speaker 1: who's paid like he's a superstar. Right, And yeah, well,

635
00:43:59,120 --> 00:44:01,719
Speaker 1: I mean now got to play him. He's the guy

636
00:44:01,760 --> 00:44:03,120
Speaker 1: you gotta go through every year.

637
00:44:03,560 --> 00:44:06,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, Like, yeah, I didn't.

638
00:44:06,560 --> 00:44:08,840
Speaker 1: I didn't love that at all. All right, let's go

639
00:44:08,880 --> 00:44:10,799
Speaker 1: to Bears Cowboys.

640
00:44:10,800 --> 00:44:13,560
Speaker 2: All right? Game of the Week with Dallas and Chicago.

641
00:44:14,040 --> 00:44:17,080
Speaker 3: The Cowboys are coming off that forty point ot win

642
00:44:17,640 --> 00:44:20,320
Speaker 3: and the Bears have allowed the most points in the

643
00:44:20,400 --> 00:44:21,359
Speaker 3: league so far.

644
00:44:21,560 --> 00:44:28,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, and just real quick, both NFC offensive player of

645
00:44:28,640 --> 00:44:31,600
Speaker 1: the Week through two weeks has been the two quarterbacks

646
00:44:31,600 --> 00:44:35,200
Speaker 1: to play the Bears, JJ McCarthy and then Jared goff.

647
00:44:36,760 --> 00:44:41,920
Speaker 1: I listen the Bears, Everyone's going to focus on Caleb.

648
00:44:42,719 --> 00:44:46,320
Speaker 1: They allowed fifty two points. Man Like Caleb, I thought

649
00:44:46,440 --> 00:44:50,240
Speaker 1: was fine in Week two. He wasn't great, he wasn't terrible.

650
00:44:50,600 --> 00:44:55,200
Speaker 1: It wasn't their problem. If the Bears lose this game,

651
00:44:55,920 --> 00:44:59,440
Speaker 1: I you can, in my opinion, put a nail in

652
00:44:59,480 --> 00:45:05,520
Speaker 1: their play Coffin. So the AFC upper class might still

653
00:45:05,520 --> 00:45:09,280
Speaker 1: be the best of the two conferences, but the NFC

654
00:45:09,480 --> 00:45:12,759
Speaker 1: middle class is so much deeper this year than the

655
00:45:12,800 --> 00:45:16,160
Speaker 1: AFCs that I just don't think you can recover from

656
00:45:16,280 --> 00:45:21,879
Speaker 1: zero to three. I am more interested actually in this

657
00:45:22,920 --> 00:45:28,480
Speaker 1: is can Dallas's offense put on the type of performance

658
00:45:29,080 --> 00:45:32,919
Speaker 1: where we say, you know what, we have to take

659
00:45:32,960 --> 00:45:35,600
Speaker 1: them seriously as a team that's got a you know,

660
00:45:35,760 --> 00:45:39,800
Speaker 1: a very real chance of making the postseason. Dallas's offense

661
00:45:39,840 --> 00:45:43,400
Speaker 1: in Week one against Philly moved the ball at will

662
00:45:43,719 --> 00:45:47,840
Speaker 1: until the weird hour long weather delay, and then was

663
00:45:47,880 --> 00:45:50,560
Speaker 1: still moving the ball, but Ceedee Lamb was dropping it.

664
00:45:51,000 --> 00:45:56,560
Speaker 1: Week two, obviously, Dallas's offense was unstoppable. If Dak puts

665
00:45:56,640 --> 00:46:00,960
Speaker 1: up another huge game, then I think that and they

666
00:46:01,000 --> 00:46:03,280
Speaker 1: get to two and one with the one loss being

667
00:46:03,320 --> 00:46:06,359
Speaker 1: to the Eagles, then I think you do have to

668
00:46:06,400 --> 00:46:09,560
Speaker 1: start saying hold on. Like they've been able to run

669
00:46:09,600 --> 00:46:14,319
Speaker 1: the ball, they've been able to do whatever they want

670
00:46:14,360 --> 00:46:18,880
Speaker 1: on offense, and you look at their upcoming schedule next

671
00:46:18,920 --> 00:46:22,080
Speaker 1: week home against the Packers, even if you pencil that

672
00:46:22,200 --> 00:46:26,520
Speaker 1: in as a loss at the Jets at the Panthers

673
00:46:26,560 --> 00:46:29,719
Speaker 1: after that, if they win this game, they have a

674
00:46:29,920 --> 00:46:34,400
Speaker 1: very decent chance to be four and two through six games,

675
00:46:34,440 --> 00:46:39,960
Speaker 1: having already played four road games like that's something, and

676
00:46:40,000 --> 00:46:44,040
Speaker 1: so not blowing that game against the Giants was huge.

677
00:46:44,239 --> 00:46:48,040
Speaker 1: I actually am more interested, believe it or not, in

678
00:46:48,080 --> 00:46:50,720
Speaker 1: the Dallas side of this than I am.

679
00:46:50,680 --> 00:46:51,200
Speaker 2: The h.

680
00:46:52,680 --> 00:46:59,120
Speaker 3: Well completely, I want to see what Dallas has in store.

681
00:47:00,120 --> 00:47:04,160
Speaker 1: The games have to matter, man, I can't. I can't

682
00:47:04,200 --> 00:47:08,719
Speaker 1: like pretend I'm you know, I've been optimistic about what

683
00:47:08,800 --> 00:47:12,120
Speaker 1: I've seen from the Bears. I think Kale has been fine,

684
00:47:12,200 --> 00:47:15,120
Speaker 1: but he hasn't been sensational, and the team right now

685
00:47:15,160 --> 00:47:17,600
Speaker 1: has looked like a mess. They created a way to

686
00:47:17,680 --> 00:47:20,799
Speaker 1: lose Week one, and they got fifty bald Week two.

687
00:47:21,320 --> 00:47:25,600
Speaker 1: That's not good. Just is what it is. Hey. You

688

00:48:09,400 --> 00:48:13,680
Speaker 1: All right, demons, let's get to packers Browns please.

702
00:48:15,640 --> 00:48:18,080
Speaker 3: Well, they've had arguably the best starts of the season

703
00:48:18,080 --> 00:48:22,479
Speaker 3: of anybody, with dominant wins over Detroit and Washington. Here's

704
00:48:22,480 --> 00:48:24,319
Speaker 3: a couple of numbers. There are number one in the

705
00:48:24,400 --> 00:48:27,759
Speaker 3: NFC Super Bowl odds. Love is number three at for

706
00:48:27,920 --> 00:48:31,120
Speaker 3: MVP and Micah is number one for Defensive Player of

707
00:48:31,120 --> 00:48:31,439
Speaker 3: the Year.

708
00:48:33,400 --> 00:48:35,279
Speaker 2: Is this is all this too much? Hyper? Do you

709
00:48:35,320 --> 00:48:36,200
Speaker 2: think this is legit?

710
00:48:38,640 --> 00:48:41,759
Speaker 1: Listen, I said it after the Mica trade. I'll say

711
00:48:41,760 --> 00:48:44,440
Speaker 1: it again. The most interesting player in the NFL this

712
00:48:44,560 --> 00:48:48,719
Speaker 1: year is Jordan Love. They have all the pieces. If

713
00:48:48,800 --> 00:48:54,040
Speaker 1: Love can just be steady, there's no reason they shouldn't

714
00:48:54,320 --> 00:48:57,560
Speaker 1: be not only a real contender, but be awesome all year.

715
00:48:58,680 --> 00:49:04,319
Speaker 1: And he's been steady. I don't think he's been sensational.

716
00:49:04,680 --> 00:49:07,239
Speaker 1: I think he's been steady and that's all. You know

717
00:49:07,280 --> 00:49:12,320
Speaker 1: what I mean, That's that's fine. He has Coach Mangini

718
00:49:12,480 --> 00:49:15,680
Speaker 1: had this stat I couldn't believe it. Like Jordan Love

719
00:49:16,480 --> 00:49:20,040
Speaker 1: only has five games in his career with a passer

720
00:49:20,160 --> 00:49:24,120
Speaker 1: rating between eighty five and ninety nine, which are like

721
00:49:25,000 --> 00:49:29,360
Speaker 1: solid good not great games. Every other game the passer

722
00:49:29,440 --> 00:49:32,400
Speaker 1: rating's either been eighty four or below or one hundred

723
00:49:32,440 --> 00:49:36,880
Speaker 1: and above. So he really is he epitomizes the old

724
00:49:37,040 --> 00:49:43,239
Speaker 1: Josh Allen roller coaster stuff and right, and so I

725
00:49:43,400 --> 00:49:47,799
Speaker 1: really like what they have in Green Bay, and I.

726
00:49:47,920 --> 00:49:52,279
Speaker 3: Really recuvenated them. They just seem very happy over there, excited.

727
00:49:52,640 --> 00:49:59,640
Speaker 1: Such a great player, man. Yeah, and it's just it is.

728
00:50:00,320 --> 00:50:04,400
Speaker 1: His impact is felt every plays on the field, and

729
00:50:05,440 --> 00:50:09,960
Speaker 1: I think that they are going to really put it

730
00:50:10,000 --> 00:50:14,879
Speaker 1: on the Browns this weekend and the and so we

731
00:50:14,960 --> 00:50:18,839
Speaker 1: will well spoiler alert, that's gonna be part of our

732
00:50:18,880 --> 00:50:21,160
Speaker 1: pick show on Friday. All right, last game we're getting

733
00:50:21,160 --> 00:50:22,720
Speaker 1: to before we get to listener questions.

734
00:50:23,320 --> 00:50:25,880
Speaker 3: So the Chargers have a chance to start three and

735
00:50:26,000 --> 00:50:27,840
Speaker 3: zero if they go in here and beat Denver, and

736
00:50:27,880 --> 00:50:31,160
Speaker 3: that will be three divisional wins for them, and they

737
00:50:31,160 --> 00:50:33,440
Speaker 3: are in the Chiefs division, as we all know. Are

738
00:50:33,480 --> 00:50:35,600
Speaker 3: you secretly rooting for the Broncos this week?

739
00:50:38,960 --> 00:50:41,719
Speaker 1: It is better for the Chiefs if the Broncos win,

740
00:50:42,000 --> 00:50:45,080
Speaker 1: that's for sure. If that's the question, like, I'd rather

741
00:50:46,719 --> 00:50:50,000
Speaker 1: you know, because if the Broncos win, then the Chiefs

742
00:50:50,000 --> 00:50:51,560
Speaker 1: are all of a sudden, only a game out of

743
00:50:51,560 --> 00:50:52,120
Speaker 1: first place.

744
00:50:52,200 --> 00:50:52,399
Speaker 2: Right.

745
00:50:52,719 --> 00:50:57,160
Speaker 1: If the Chargers win, then yes, you don't have to Like,

746
00:50:57,239 --> 00:50:59,799
Speaker 1: the Chiefs are tied with the Broncos assuming they beat

747
00:50:59,840 --> 00:51:04,319
Speaker 1: the Giants, but the Chargers have that separation. The thing

748
00:51:04,400 --> 00:51:08,560
Speaker 1: is this, I'm not worried about the Broncos, so that

749
00:51:08,680 --> 00:51:11,239
Speaker 1: being tied with the Broncos doesn't really matter because I

750
00:51:11,239 --> 00:51:13,720
Speaker 1: think the Broncos are gonna find some more losses along

751
00:51:13,760 --> 00:51:18,480
Speaker 1: the way. The Chargers have just looked awesome, and I

752
00:51:18,520 --> 00:51:24,480
Speaker 1: thought they looked defensively. Defensively, they've looked like the best

753
00:51:24,520 --> 00:51:28,240
Speaker 1: team in the league. Now. I talked about it on Tuesday.

754
00:51:28,360 --> 00:51:30,600
Speaker 1: I didn't love some of the game management stuff late

755
00:51:30,640 --> 00:51:34,239
Speaker 1: in that game. And they're gonna miss Khalil Mack. By

756
00:51:34,280 --> 00:51:38,600
Speaker 1: the way, I sent this to the group chat, Khalil

757
00:51:38,680 --> 00:51:43,080
Speaker 1: Mack listed or according to you know the NFL Injury

758
00:51:43,719 --> 00:51:47,480
Speaker 1: Insiders is going to miss quote or it will be

759
00:51:47,600 --> 00:51:51,080
Speaker 1: back in quote a few weeks. I'm gonna go ahead

760
00:51:51,080 --> 00:51:55,279
Speaker 1: and plant my flag right now that week eight is

761
00:51:55,320 --> 00:51:58,839
Speaker 1: the absolute soonest he'll be back, and I probably would

762
00:51:58,880 --> 00:52:03,279
Speaker 1: take after that like a few again, whatever the initial

763
00:52:03,440 --> 00:52:08,680
Speaker 1: reporting is. But you know about the injury, add a

764
00:52:08,719 --> 00:52:11,960
Speaker 1: few weeks to it and that kind of is exponential,

765
00:52:12,280 --> 00:52:17,080
Speaker 1: where like Burrow three months season over Khalil Mack a

766
00:52:17,080 --> 00:52:20,880
Speaker 1: few weeks, six weeks. So that's not good. Obviously, that

767
00:52:21,000 --> 00:52:23,640
Speaker 1: injury and Herbert getting banged up a bit's not good.

768
00:52:24,080 --> 00:52:28,120
Speaker 1: But I just don't I think bo Nicks is gonna

769
00:52:28,200 --> 00:52:33,359
Speaker 1: really really struggle against that Charger defense, Is it at all?

770
00:52:33,440 --> 00:52:35,560
Speaker 3: Allowing to you that have been Patrick Mahomes had the

771
00:52:35,600 --> 00:52:37,799
Speaker 3: same quarterback rating right now our past ratings.

772
00:52:37,840 --> 00:52:40,520
Speaker 1: I don't like it, Yeah, I don't like it. Yeah,

773
00:52:40,520 --> 00:52:42,640
Speaker 1: I will be honest with you. I don't like it.

774
00:52:42,840 --> 00:52:44,320
Speaker 1: But I think that'll change.

775
00:52:44,400 --> 00:52:44,719
Speaker 2: All right.

776
00:52:44,760 --> 00:52:47,120
Speaker 1: Let's get to some of the listener questions from Tuesday

777
00:52:47,160 --> 00:52:48,040
Speaker 1: and then from today.

778
00:52:49,080 --> 00:52:51,960
Speaker 2: Joe asked, how was the steakhouse opening? Nick? Did you

779
00:52:52,000 --> 00:52:53,440
Speaker 2: meet Taylor? Did you meet Taylor?

780
00:52:53,719 --> 00:52:56,920
Speaker 1: No? So I went Friday. It was great. It was

781
00:52:57,040 --> 00:53:00,600
Speaker 1: really really good. They did an awesome job. It's like

782
00:53:00,640 --> 00:53:03,320
Speaker 1: a traditional steakhouse with a bunch of Chiefs or Kansas

783
00:53:03,320 --> 00:53:06,160
Speaker 1: City kind of flares to it, which I thought was

784
00:53:06,280 --> 00:53:11,400
Speaker 1: really cool. It's the same restaurant group that owns Toka Madera,

785
00:53:11,760 --> 00:53:14,560
Speaker 1: which you may you know they have restaurants in a

786
00:53:14,640 --> 00:53:17,840
Speaker 1: few cities, but I know the one in Aria. Friday,

787
00:53:18,280 --> 00:53:20,960
Speaker 1: the Chiefs were, I know Patrick was going to be there.

788
00:53:21,000 --> 00:53:25,319
Speaker 1: They ended up not going Friday. They went Sunday for

789
00:53:25,440 --> 00:53:28,960
Speaker 1: Patrick's birthday with he and Travis and Taylor and Brittany

790
00:53:29,000 --> 00:53:30,880
Speaker 1: and all of them. So I was not there for that,

791
00:53:30,920 --> 00:53:33,200
Speaker 1: So no, I did not. I did not get to

792
00:53:33,520 --> 00:53:35,400
Speaker 1: meet Taylor. That would have been nice, but I did not.

793
00:53:36,239 --> 00:53:38,840
Speaker 3: All right, now, I saw your I saw that Mahomes

794
00:53:38,920 --> 00:53:41,600
Speaker 3: tribute birthday video for a second when I got to

795
00:53:41,680 --> 00:53:43,000
Speaker 3: a minute and a half, and I was like, is

796
00:53:43,000 --> 00:53:43,839
Speaker 3: is he going to be in here?

797
00:53:44,040 --> 00:53:44,680
Speaker 2: Is he not going to be?

798
00:53:44,880 --> 00:53:44,960
Speaker 1: Oh?

799
00:53:45,080 --> 00:53:47,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, I did, And then you came up with like

800
00:53:47,239 --> 00:53:47,919
Speaker 2: two minute market.

801
00:53:48,520 --> 00:53:51,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, the Chiefs released like a five minute happy Birthday

802
00:53:51,600 --> 00:53:53,640
Speaker 1: to Mahomes video with a bunch of people being a

803
00:53:53,640 --> 00:53:54,000
Speaker 1: part of it.

804
00:53:54,040 --> 00:53:55,120
Speaker 2: I was a part of that. That's right.

805
00:53:55,560 --> 00:53:59,520
Speaker 3: Oh so, Nico asked, if Herbert continues playing like this

806
00:53:59,680 --> 00:54:02,040
Speaker 3: but he loses his first playoff game, does his stock

807
00:54:02,120 --> 00:54:04,759
Speaker 3: rise into the elite level or does he drop with

808
00:54:04,800 --> 00:54:07,640
Speaker 3: what would be a considerable sample of bad January.

809
00:54:07,160 --> 00:54:11,320
Speaker 1: Play Listen, if Herbert keeps this up and then loses

810
00:54:11,640 --> 00:54:16,520
Speaker 1: his first playoff game, that's a disaster. Like Herbert right

811
00:54:16,560 --> 00:54:20,360
Speaker 1: now is firmly in the MVP conversation, like the I

812
00:54:20,440 --> 00:54:23,920
Speaker 1: actually think that's worse than just a bad season, like,

813
00:54:24,040 --> 00:54:29,120
Speaker 1: because I think you are right so that that would

814
00:54:29,120 --> 00:54:35,359
Speaker 1: be a worst case scenario for Herbert and Herbert and

815
00:54:35,440 --> 00:54:37,560
Speaker 1: Danny Parkins and Herbert fans. All right, let's get some

816
00:54:37,600 --> 00:54:38,680
Speaker 1: of the questions from today.

817
00:54:39,200 --> 00:54:42,120
Speaker 3: Uh, Kafreaka asked, would Kansas City rather lose to the

818
00:54:42,120 --> 00:54:44,879
Speaker 3: Giants and beat Baltimore or beat the Giants and lose

819
00:54:44,920 --> 00:54:45,520
Speaker 3: to Baltimore.

820
00:54:46,440 --> 00:54:50,319
Speaker 1: I mean, you'd rather lose to the Giants and beat

821
00:54:50,360 --> 00:54:53,840
Speaker 1: Baltimore because it's a cross conference game. But I can't.

822
00:54:54,160 --> 00:54:57,080
Speaker 1: I won't be able to stomach the idea that they

823
00:54:57,120 --> 00:55:01,480
Speaker 1: lose to the Giants, Like I can't even I can't

824
00:55:01,480 --> 00:55:03,680
Speaker 1: even deal with that idea. All right, last.

825
00:55:03,440 --> 00:55:06,760
Speaker 3: One, Jason says, Nick, you joked on the show yesterday

826
00:55:06,760 --> 00:55:08,720
Speaker 3: that the Chiefs game this week would be a shave

827
00:55:08,760 --> 00:55:11,560
Speaker 3: your head game. We actually shave your head if the

828
00:55:11,600 --> 00:55:12,240
Speaker 3: Chiefs lose.

829
00:55:13,000 --> 00:55:18,080
Speaker 1: It's very controversial because the no one close to me

830
00:55:18,200 --> 00:55:20,600
Speaker 1: wants me to go back to my old haircut except

831
00:55:20,640 --> 00:55:22,600
Speaker 1: for your mother, Demanse.

832
00:55:22,760 --> 00:55:28,640
Speaker 2: And like all like Mike buzzcut.

833
00:55:27,760 --> 00:55:33,719
Speaker 1: Close to it. Yeah and uh, and I'm getting a

834
00:55:33,760 --> 00:55:38,280
Speaker 1: little tired of the hair. But it is at this point.

835
00:55:38,400 --> 00:55:40,279
Speaker 1: It would be a lot of work for a lot

836
00:55:40,320 --> 00:55:42,640
Speaker 1: of people if I were to do it, because we

837
00:55:42,719 --> 00:55:45,960
Speaker 1: have to redo all of the first things, first commercials,

838
00:55:46,600 --> 00:55:50,000
Speaker 1: all of the head shots, we have to rebrand every

839
00:55:50,120 --> 00:55:53,320
Speaker 1: like I'm kind of like pot committed to this hairstyle now,

840
00:55:54,840 --> 00:55:57,719
Speaker 1: So I don't know the I would like to go

841
00:55:57,840 --> 00:55:58,479
Speaker 1: back to it.

842
00:55:58,520 --> 00:56:01,600
Speaker 2: Chiefs super Bowl as you've been growing this hair out.

843
00:56:02,560 --> 00:56:05,319
Speaker 1: That part's true. Yeah, you know you know what. That

844
00:56:05,400 --> 00:56:07,480
Speaker 1: part's true. So I don't know what it is. I've

845
00:56:07,480 --> 00:56:09,879
Speaker 1: been trying to get Wilds to make a shave your

846
00:56:09,920 --> 00:56:12,960
Speaker 1: head bat because he would be so devastated if you

847
00:56:13,040 --> 00:56:14,800
Speaker 1: have to shave his and I wouldn't mind, but he

848
00:56:14,840 --> 00:56:17,640
Speaker 1: won't do it, all right, I would like that would

849
00:56:17,640 --> 00:56:22,080
Speaker 1: be unbelievable. Wild with a skin fade like rate. Subscribe
