He is one of those 11 00:00:47,680 --> 00:00:49,720 Speaker 2: guys who's fortunate enough that he was able to take 12 00:00:49,800 --> 00:00:53,800 Speaker 2: vacation this week, but he's such a die hard podcaster, 13 00:00:54,160 --> 00:00:57,720 Speaker 2: loves being in the discussion firing Off takes that he 14 00:00:57,920 --> 00:01:02,080 Speaker 2: is working with me tonight on his break. I don't 15 00:01:02,120 --> 00:01:05,280 Speaker 2: know his wife let them happen, but maybe she has 16 00:01:05,319 --> 00:01:08,000 Speaker 2: some fun stuff going on with the family and he 17 00:01:08,080 --> 00:01:09,760 Speaker 2: tapped out listen. I do know a lot of guys 18 00:01:09,760 --> 00:01:12,319 Speaker 2: who were like, you know what, I love like a 19 00:01:12,400 --> 00:01:14,560 Speaker 2: long weekend over Christmas with the family. I just hang 20 00:01:14,560 --> 00:01:16,120 Speaker 2: out with the fan for two days and then that's 21 00:01:16,280 --> 00:01:19,959 Speaker 2: about my Max that's about all like an handle. So anyway, 22 00:01:20,560 --> 00:01:23,039 Speaker 2: happy to have everybody back. A lot of sports stuf happening. 23 00:01:23,040 --> 00:01:25,200 Speaker 2: We're actually starting with an NBA story before we get 24 00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:27,720 Speaker 2: to the NFL, and normally we don't start with the 25 00:01:27,800 --> 00:01:31,440 Speaker 2: NBA in December, but when you set a record, I 26 00:01:31,440 --> 00:01:33,440 Speaker 2: think we got to kind of start there. So the 27 00:01:33,480 --> 00:01:36,560 Speaker 2: Detroit Pistons, you guys, remember in the offseason, they went 28 00:01:36,600 --> 00:01:39,200 Speaker 2: and made that splashy hire of Monty Williams, made him 29 00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:41,440 Speaker 2: one of the highest paid coaches in the league. They 30 00:01:41,480 --> 00:01:44,520 Speaker 2: got Kid cutting hand back from injury, they got some 31 00:01:44,680 --> 00:01:47,400 Speaker 2: decent pieces in place, and you're like, okay, Pistons are 32 00:01:47,400 --> 00:01:50,480 Speaker 2: all right. They opened the season two and one, Ladies 33 00:01:50,520 --> 00:01:54,680 Speaker 2: and gentlemen. They have now lost an NBA record twenty 34 00:01:54,920 --> 00:01:58,880 Speaker 2: seven straight basketball games. It's hard to do that. They 35 00:01:59,080 --> 00:02:02,480 Speaker 2: dropped to two and twenty eight with a loss to 36 00:02:02,520 --> 00:02:06,640 Speaker 2: the Nets, and it's weird. Listen, the NBA had interesting 37 00:02:06,680 --> 00:02:08,799 Speaker 2: stuff coming out from the Suns over the weekend. The 38 00:02:08,880 --> 00:02:12,919 Speaker 2: Kevin Durant unhappy, the Lakers are kind of reeling. Luca 39 00:02:13,040 --> 00:02:16,200 Speaker 2: hits for fifty. There's a lot of stuff happening, and 40 00:02:16,240 --> 00:02:21,440 Speaker 2: in a weird way, the Detroit Pistons have captured the 41 00:02:21,480 --> 00:02:24,880 Speaker 2: hearts and minds of the NBA fans. Wuebin Yama, what's 42 00:02:24,919 --> 00:02:28,320 Speaker 2: the story coming into the season. It's not the Detroit Pistons, 43 00:02:28,320 --> 00:02:32,200 Speaker 2: which is crazy, crazy, Rob. I don't even I'm gonna 44 00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:34,360 Speaker 2: let you fire here because you're, you know, working on vacation. 45 00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:39,120 Speaker 2: You don't want to go off of Monty Williams. I 46 00:02:39,160 --> 00:02:41,720 Speaker 2: think everybody agrees to really good coach and well liked. 47 00:02:42,760 --> 00:02:46,560 Speaker 2: It's almost impossible for a team to lose twenty seven 48 00:02:46,600 --> 00:02:48,600 Speaker 2: straight games in a row. I don't even know where 49 00:02:48,639 --> 00:02:54,079 Speaker 2: to go, but it is. It's just a weird situation 50 00:02:54,280 --> 00:02:57,360 Speaker 2: for me. Rob. You don't want to crush them. You know, 51 00:02:57,400 --> 00:03:01,000 Speaker 2: the roster has some dudes, but like, twenty seven straight. 52 00:03:01,040 --> 00:03:03,080 Speaker 2: This is historically bad basketball. 53 00:03:04,320 --> 00:03:07,519 Speaker 3: Yeah, it's it's it's embarrassing, and it's something that it's 54 00:03:07,560 --> 00:03:11,640 Speaker 3: so embarrassing it's become funny and it's something that everybody 55 00:03:11,639 --> 00:03:13,480 Speaker 3: wants to talk about either you mentioned it. There's a 56 00:03:13,480 --> 00:03:15,440 Speaker 3: lot going on in the world of sports. Bold seasons, right, 57 00:03:15,480 --> 00:03:17,000 Speaker 3: We're in the midst of bold season, but the playoffs 58 00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:19,440 Speaker 3: coming up. We're smack dabbing the home stretch of the 59 00:03:19,520 --> 00:03:22,000 Speaker 3: NFL regular season where teams are jockey for a position. 60 00:03:22,040 --> 00:03:24,400 Speaker 3: We'll get into that here in a minute. The Christmas 61 00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:25,760 Speaker 3: Day games that we didn't even get to talk about, 62 00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:27,920 Speaker 3: which are a lot of them, were fantastic. But the 63 00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:32,280 Speaker 3: Detroit Pistons have taken the world by storm because they 64 00:03:32,480 --> 00:03:35,120 Speaker 3: now have the record for most regular season losses in 65 00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:39,880 Speaker 3: NBA history. And I don't think there's like an end 66 00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:44,000 Speaker 3: in sight to this, okay, because they are now going 67 00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:51,280 Speaker 3: to be the Colorado Buffaloes of the NBA where you're 68 00:03:51,320 --> 00:03:53,680 Speaker 3: gonna get up to play the Detroit Pistons, not because 69 00:03:53,680 --> 00:03:55,440 Speaker 3: they talk a lot of shit. Katie kind of doesn't 70 00:03:55,480 --> 00:03:57,680 Speaker 3: really say anything. Manti is a wild respect in the NBA, 71 00:03:57,760 --> 00:03:59,560 Speaker 3: but because you don't want to be known as the 72 00:03:59,640 --> 00:04:02,120 Speaker 3: team that lost and broke the streak. 73 00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:03,000 Speaker 1: Right. 74 00:04:03,240 --> 00:04:06,760 Speaker 3: So if you look at it their schedule Thursday in Boston, 75 00:04:07,480 --> 00:04:09,680 Speaker 3: Saturday at home against Toronto, weoll that could be a 76 00:04:09,680 --> 00:04:12,480 Speaker 3: close one, right. But you take that, you think that 77 00:04:12,560 --> 00:04:16,400 Speaker 3: Dennis Shrewder and Oj Nanobi and Scotty barn you don't 78 00:04:16,400 --> 00:04:18,240 Speaker 3: think that they're going to be hyped up like this 79 00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:21,040 Speaker 3: is a play in game or a playoff game atmosphere 80 00:04:21,040 --> 00:04:22,880 Speaker 3: for them because they don't want to be known as 81 00:04:22,880 --> 00:04:25,200 Speaker 3: the guys who lose that one and then it's a 82 00:04:25,640 --> 00:04:29,080 Speaker 3: four game road trip after that. Houston, Utah, Golden State, Denver. Now, 83 00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:31,159 Speaker 3: I know Houston and Utah aren't really great teams, but 84 00:04:31,839 --> 00:04:35,080 Speaker 3: you are now gonna get their best shot every single night. 85 00:04:35,120 --> 00:04:39,400 Speaker 3: I saw a thing on social media last week, before 86 00:04:39,440 --> 00:04:43,720 Speaker 3: the record even been set, you could get odds that 87 00:04:43,760 --> 00:04:46,000 Speaker 3: the Detroit Pistons would not win another. 88 00:04:45,760 --> 00:04:48,880 Speaker 2: Game this season. I'll stop it and a. 89 00:04:48,920 --> 00:04:52,159 Speaker 1: Guy put forty bucks. I believe to win forty grand. 90 00:04:52,279 --> 00:04:54,400 Speaker 2: There's zero chances that cash is zero. 91 00:04:54,640 --> 00:05:00,440 Speaker 3: It sounds crazy, but hear me. How, Jason, do you 92 00:05:00,480 --> 00:05:02,320 Speaker 3: think the Pistons are any good? 93 00:05:02,600 --> 00:05:04,360 Speaker 2: No? I think Kate Cunnigan is really good. He had 94 00:05:04,400 --> 00:05:09,279 Speaker 2: forty one. The problem is, like I don't Monty Williams 95 00:05:09,320 --> 00:05:11,440 Speaker 2: seems to have damaged Jade and Ivy who doesn't have 96 00:05:11,480 --> 00:05:15,799 Speaker 2: confidence in anything he does. Alec Burks is a literal 97 00:05:15,839 --> 00:05:19,440 Speaker 2: turnstile coming off the bench. Kelly and Hayes went from 98 00:05:19,480 --> 00:05:21,800 Speaker 2: starting to oh, he's sick, he's but he's they don't 99 00:05:21,800 --> 00:05:24,520 Speaker 2: know what to do with him. Like I think Bogdanovich 100 00:05:24,640 --> 00:05:30,840 Speaker 2: is okay, Duran's okay. They got decent players that one 101 00:05:30,880 --> 00:05:34,400 Speaker 2: of the Thompson brothers, Knox Weisman like, they've got okay names, 102 00:05:34,960 --> 00:05:37,600 Speaker 2: but Rob, there's zero chance they don't win another game. 103 00:05:37,720 --> 00:05:40,120 Speaker 2: I think they'll win double digit games. I think this 104 00:05:40,160 --> 00:05:41,120 Speaker 2: season at least ten. 105 00:05:42,160 --> 00:05:43,880 Speaker 1: Maybe that's bold, that's bold. 106 00:05:43,920 --> 00:05:44,040 Speaker 2: Now. 107 00:05:44,120 --> 00:05:46,840 Speaker 3: You know what's interesting about this is lost in the 108 00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:50,280 Speaker 3: sauce of the Trey Bistons losing streak is the San 109 00:05:50,279 --> 00:05:53,600 Speaker 3: Antonio Spurs themselves around pace for eleven wins, which would 110 00:05:53,600 --> 00:05:57,600 Speaker 3: be a bottom five in NBA history. And that's with arguably, 111 00:05:58,320 --> 00:06:01,680 Speaker 3: depending who you talk to, the greatatest NBA prospect. 112 00:06:01,200 --> 00:06:03,240 Speaker 2: Ever, greatest prospect ever, I think it was. 113 00:06:03,279 --> 00:06:06,680 Speaker 3: It wasn't prospective pro sports right, pro sports period. So 114 00:06:07,200 --> 00:06:08,880 Speaker 3: I don't know if there's maybe a bigger conversation that 115 00:06:08,920 --> 00:06:13,479 Speaker 3: we had about, like it is, are teams really that bad? 116 00:06:13,480 --> 00:06:14,680 Speaker 3: So some think they are. You mentioned they have a 117 00:06:14,720 --> 00:06:16,680 Speaker 3: lot of talent on both of these teams, like the 118 00:06:16,720 --> 00:06:19,760 Speaker 3: Pistons and the Spurs. Why is it that we're in 119 00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:22,680 Speaker 3: a day and age now where you could have teams 120 00:06:23,400 --> 00:06:26,600 Speaker 3: two teams in the first third of the season approach 121 00:06:26,760 --> 00:06:30,320 Speaker 3: number one Piston, excuse me, the Spurs approach twenty consecutive 122 00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:33,479 Speaker 3: losses and now the Pistons, who have eclipsed in maybe 123 00:06:33,480 --> 00:06:34,279 Speaker 3: even get to thirty. 124 00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:35,880 Speaker 1: I don't understand that's possible. 125 00:06:36,040 --> 00:06:39,279 Speaker 2: It's weird. The veteran class of like KD Lebron Curry, 126 00:06:39,320 --> 00:06:42,360 Speaker 2: that group is really good, and then there's like this 127 00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:45,520 Speaker 2: weird like I don't know who's good in like the 128 00:06:45,640 --> 00:06:49,039 Speaker 2: twenty six to thirty one range. I feel like, and 129 00:06:49,080 --> 00:06:51,000 Speaker 2: again I haven't looked at all the ages, but like 130 00:06:51,160 --> 00:06:53,159 Speaker 2: Luca and a lot of the young guys are incredible, 131 00:06:53,560 --> 00:06:57,960 Speaker 2: but the middle age guys middle aged for NBA are 132 00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:01,279 Speaker 2: either going through some stuff or like other than a 133 00:07:01,360 --> 00:07:04,040 Speaker 2: Yanis and a Yokic, I don't know, man, it just 134 00:07:04,080 --> 00:07:07,440 Speaker 2: feels like there's a big drop off. But then what 135 00:07:07,520 --> 00:07:09,960 Speaker 2: do I know? Like I thought Jordan Poole would be 136 00:07:10,040 --> 00:07:13,360 Speaker 2: awesome with Orlando and he's been total and utter garbage. 137 00:07:13,480 --> 00:07:15,239 Speaker 2: Draymond Green and the Warriors. 138 00:07:15,080 --> 00:07:15,840 Speaker 1: Have been terrible. 139 00:07:16,760 --> 00:07:20,400 Speaker 2: I just it's really tough to make hay of what's 140 00:07:20,440 --> 00:07:22,240 Speaker 2: happening in the NBA right now. You need like a 141 00:07:22,280 --> 00:07:25,600 Speaker 2: deep dive. I mean, the Wizards are five and twenty four, 142 00:07:25,720 --> 00:07:28,320 Speaker 2: Like we knew they'd be bad, but five and twenty four. 143 00:07:29,600 --> 00:07:31,240 Speaker 3: And yeah, and it's not like these teams are trying 144 00:07:31,280 --> 00:07:34,080 Speaker 3: to lose. Yeah, it's weird one of the three teams 145 00:07:34,120 --> 00:07:35,920 Speaker 3: are trying to win these games. 146 00:07:35,960 --> 00:07:36,800 Speaker 1: They're just terrible. 147 00:07:37,040 --> 00:07:39,440 Speaker 2: Yeah. I looked at so the Pistons are two and 148 00:07:39,480 --> 00:07:43,840 Speaker 2: twenty eight, so they have fifty two games left to 149 00:07:43,920 --> 00:07:45,840 Speaker 2: get double digit wins. All they have to do is 150 00:07:45,880 --> 00:07:50,120 Speaker 2: go eight and forty four. Come on, you don't think 151 00:07:50,120 --> 00:07:53,720 Speaker 2: they can win eight games. Eventually people will start tanking 152 00:07:53,760 --> 00:07:56,480 Speaker 2: to get in the mix. Eventually somebody will have injuries, 153 00:07:57,360 --> 00:07:59,480 Speaker 2: they'll get up. I don't think it's as bad like, 154 00:07:59,520 --> 00:08:03,280 Speaker 2: it's just weird how aggressively awful the Pistons are. And 155 00:08:03,320 --> 00:08:06,680 Speaker 2: I like Monty Williams. We could be talking about John Morant. 156 00:08:06,680 --> 00:08:06,760 Speaker 3: Now. 157 00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:09,440 Speaker 2: The Whizzlies are starting to get their groove on, like 158 00:08:09,920 --> 00:08:11,800 Speaker 2: a lot of weird stuff happening. It's just it feels 159 00:08:11,800 --> 00:08:14,520 Speaker 2: like a bummer to celebrate the Pistons for twenty seven 160 00:08:14,560 --> 00:08:17,640 Speaker 2: straight losses.

I 184 00:09:43,600 --> 00:09:45,640 Speaker 2: don't know. I don't want to go in on Brock Purty. 185 00:09:45,720 --> 00:09:48,760 Speaker 2: I'm not bashing brock Purty at all. Everybody else seems 186 00:09:48,800 --> 00:09:52,199 Speaker 2: to be. Uh. He lost the MVP. He's crash, he's 187 00:09:52,240 --> 00:09:55,520 Speaker 2: a system quarterback. Cam Newton and his alcoalites coming after 188 00:09:55,559 --> 00:09:59,000 Speaker 2: me on social media because I said Cam was crazy 189 00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:04,240 Speaker 2: to call these guys game. Ma, it's a few days 190 00:10:04,240 --> 00:10:07,320 Speaker 2: after the game. We don't need to rehash it. I 191 00:10:07,360 --> 00:10:13,120 Speaker 2: guess my overall takeaway. Yes, Brock Purdy had a poor game. 192 00:10:13,840 --> 00:10:15,920 Speaker 2: He had a tipped interception, the one in the end zone. 193 00:10:15,920 --> 00:10:19,520 Speaker 2: Good read by Hamilton, terrible read by Purdy. There was 194 00:10:19,559 --> 00:10:22,360 Speaker 2: the deflected arm. There was another one that was wacky. 195 00:10:23,960 --> 00:10:26,160 Speaker 2: I'll use the word unlucky. Other people will take umbrage 196 00:10:26,160 --> 00:10:30,840 Speaker 2: with it. Five. We have a body of work this season, well, 197 00:10:30,920 --> 00:10:37,200 Speaker 2: just discount last season. This season of now, he's played 198 00:10:37,240 --> 00:10:42,000 Speaker 2: fifteen games. He's had one very bad game against the Ravens, 199 00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:45,360 Speaker 2: who have a top elite defense. He was not great 200 00:10:45,360 --> 00:10:49,880 Speaker 2: against Cleveland on the road. Cleveland elite defense. Okay, the 201 00:10:49,920 --> 00:10:52,559 Speaker 2: Minnesota game, despite the two concussions, his numbers were fine. 202 00:10:52,720 --> 00:10:56,360 Speaker 2: Did have two picks. And then there was the other other, 203 00:10:56,559 --> 00:10:59,480 Speaker 2: the Cincinnati game, where he put up big numbers over 204 00:10:59,520 --> 00:11:03,720 Speaker 2: three hundred. The defense couldn't get a stop. This idea 205 00:11:03,920 --> 00:11:07,720 Speaker 2: that we're gonna litigate the MVP on one bad game 206 00:11:08,720 --> 00:11:11,880 Speaker 2: is just batshit insanity. Go ahead and look, pull up 207 00:11:11,920 --> 00:11:15,760 Speaker 2: Lamar Jackson's game. Long. Go for it, guys. He's barely 208 00:11:15,800 --> 00:11:19,240 Speaker 2: top five in any passing category. The running touchdowns are 209 00:11:19,280 --> 00:11:21,839 Speaker 2: gone because he hands off to Justice, not Justice Hill, 210 00:11:21,880 --> 00:11:25,560 Speaker 2: the big guy, Gus the bus. Now, okay, yes, Lamar's 211 00:11:25,559 --> 00:11:29,959 Speaker 2: been incredible. They have a matchup against Miami this weekend. 212 00:11:30,040 --> 00:11:32,680 Speaker 2: Now it's in Baltimore. The line swored up to four. 213 00:11:33,920 --> 00:11:35,480 Speaker 2: I took it at four. I took Miami and the 214 00:11:35,480 --> 00:11:37,520 Speaker 2: points down to three and a half. As we record this, 215 00:11:39,800 --> 00:11:43,720 Speaker 2: what do we do, Rob if Miami wins this game. 216 00:11:43,840 --> 00:11:46,120 Speaker 2: I have Miami winning it outright. I took the points. 217 00:11:46,160 --> 00:11:47,960 Speaker 2: I'll be putting some on the money line as well. 218 00:11:48,600 --> 00:11:51,240 Speaker 2: I think Miami wins the game outright, And I know 219 00:11:51,360 --> 00:11:55,199 Speaker 2: MVP is silly, and who cares the awards? People vote 220 00:11:55,200 --> 00:11:57,800 Speaker 2: on it The awards are voted on by like the 221 00:11:57,840 --> 00:12:01,240 Speaker 2: sports writer guys. Some of them are in the stats, 222 00:12:01,280 --> 00:12:03,800 Speaker 2: others are under their feelings and narratives and all this crap. 223 00:12:04,280 --> 00:12:10,680 Speaker 2: So let's just say Rob Miami thirty, Baltimore twenty seven, 224 00:12:11,360 --> 00:12:13,840 Speaker 2: and Tua has a good game. Tyreek Hill's fine, but 225 00:12:13,920 --> 00:12:17,000 Speaker 2: not not like two hundred yards or whatever. What are 226 00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:18,840 Speaker 2: we doing with the MVP? Are we going back to Brock? 227 00:12:19,160 --> 00:12:20,800 Speaker 2: Are we going to Dak? Because I'll tell you right now, 228 00:12:21,400 --> 00:12:24,760 Speaker 2: Dak's gonna put up some numbers on Detroit. I'll call 229 00:12:24,800 --> 00:12:27,240 Speaker 2: it right now. Take the over for Dak passing yards 230 00:12:27,679 --> 00:12:30,960 Speaker 2: against Detroit. I would look at the over for passing touchdowns. 231 00:12:30,960 --> 00:12:32,559 Speaker 2: I haven't seen numbers. It's too early in the week 232 00:12:32,600 --> 00:12:35,520 Speaker 2: for props. But Dak's gonna have a game going home. 233 00:12:36,040 --> 00:12:39,600 Speaker 2: Detroit secondary's trash. Look for Dak to go off. So 234 00:12:39,720 --> 00:12:41,719 Speaker 2: is Dak now on the MVP race or do we 235 00:12:41,760 --> 00:12:44,760 Speaker 2: write them off? This whole award thing. It's gotten kind 236 00:12:44,760 --> 00:12:48,840 Speaker 2: of unseemly because you know, people just jumping into it. 237 00:12:48,880 --> 00:12:50,760 Speaker 2: Now we've been on this, you guys listen to the 238 00:12:50,800 --> 00:12:53,920 Speaker 2: pod months we've been on the party thing. Maybe doesn't 239 00:12:53,920 --> 00:12:58,200 Speaker 2: happen bummer whatever, Lamar. We told you before the Jags game, 240 00:12:58,520 --> 00:13:01,040 Speaker 2: they're about to get hot, officially hot. Now you don't 241 00:13:01,040 --> 00:13:03,120 Speaker 2: want to bet Lebard to win the MVP, But I'm 242 00:13:03,160 --> 00:13:05,640 Speaker 2: just saying, Rob, let's say the Dolphins win. Where do 243 00:13:05,679 --> 00:13:05,880 Speaker 2: you go? 244 00:13:08,480 --> 00:13:10,600 Speaker 3: Well, if the Dolphins win, I'm gonna go with who 245 00:13:10,640 --> 00:13:13,160 Speaker 3: I had last week, and that was Brock Perdy because 246 00:13:13,160 --> 00:13:16,040 Speaker 3: I don't anticipate he's gonna have another bad game like 247 00:13:16,080 --> 00:13:19,480 Speaker 3: that like he did last week. Look, first off, kudos 248 00:13:19,520 --> 00:13:22,840 Speaker 3: to the Baltimore Ravens defense. That was one of the best, 249 00:13:22,840 --> 00:13:26,120 Speaker 3: if not the best defensive performances I've seen all season. 250 00:13:26,240 --> 00:13:28,160 Speaker 3: That's including some of the things that the Browns have done. 251 00:13:28,840 --> 00:13:30,920 Speaker 3: There's been some dominatet efforts by the Jets. I mean 252 00:13:30,960 --> 00:13:34,360 Speaker 3: even the Miami Dolphins had a good win against the Jets. Like, 253 00:13:34,360 --> 00:13:38,400 Speaker 3: there's been some really good performances. What they did to 254 00:13:38,679 --> 00:13:42,520 Speaker 3: that offense in that situation on the road in prime 255 00:13:42,640 --> 00:13:46,880 Speaker 3: time was awesome. Right, Everything they dialed up is going 256 00:13:46,920 --> 00:13:49,880 Speaker 3: to be working. They had the front four was locked in, 257 00:13:49,920 --> 00:13:52,040 Speaker 3: they were getting pressure getting after him, they were they 258 00:13:52,040 --> 00:13:53,240 Speaker 3: were messing up the timing. 259 00:13:53,240 --> 00:13:54,920 Speaker 1: It was great. It was it was It was. 260 00:13:54,840 --> 00:13:58,200 Speaker 3: A fantastic performance by the defense. Having said that, when 261 00:13:58,240 --> 00:14:01,800 Speaker 3: it comes to the MVP, I totally agree with you. 262 00:14:01,920 --> 00:14:04,640 Speaker 3: It's not a one game award. It's not even a 263 00:14:05,120 --> 00:14:08,040 Speaker 3: December award where who's playing best down the stretch. I 264 00:14:08,080 --> 00:14:10,520 Speaker 3: think you have to consider the entire body of work. 265 00:14:11,000 --> 00:14:14,120 Speaker 3: And as much as I like Lamar Jackson, let's not 266 00:14:14,200 --> 00:14:18,199 Speaker 3: pretend like he hasn't had some clunkers himself. Okay, losing 267 00:14:18,240 --> 00:14:23,680 Speaker 3: at home in September to the Colts, that matters, right, 268 00:14:24,240 --> 00:14:30,920 Speaker 3: inexplicably losing in Pittsburgh in October that counts, right, Losing 269 00:14:31,040 --> 00:14:33,800 Speaker 3: this is the worst one to me. Losing at home 270 00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:37,080 Speaker 3: to Cleveland with a double digit lead, knowing what we 271 00:14:37,160 --> 00:14:39,480 Speaker 3: know now where Deshaun Watson was playing, I believe with 272 00:14:39,520 --> 00:14:44,480 Speaker 3: an injured shoulder that required season ending surgery, that counts. Yeah, 273 00:14:44,640 --> 00:14:48,400 Speaker 3: that yes, that's his final game, all right. Lamar Jackson 274 00:14:48,440 --> 00:14:51,320 Speaker 3: has had won two three, four five six games this 275 00:14:51,440 --> 00:14:55,880 Speaker 3: season sub chentity yard passing. He's had one two three 276 00:14:56,120 --> 00:15:01,880 Speaker 3: four five games sub sixty percent passing. Right, Lamars Jackson, 277 00:15:01,920 --> 00:15:04,800 Speaker 3: his entire narrative around the MVP is not gonna be 278 00:15:04,840 --> 00:15:08,720 Speaker 3: about stats, and I understand that, But the stats do 279 00:15:08,840 --> 00:15:11,120 Speaker 3: have to matter a little bit. Yeah, And I'm not 280 00:15:11,160 --> 00:15:13,080 Speaker 3: saying that he doesn't deserve the MVP or that he 281 00:15:13,160 --> 00:15:14,920 Speaker 3: might not win it here down the home stretch. I'm 282 00:15:14,960 --> 00:15:16,520 Speaker 3: not saying that at all. But what I'm saying is 283 00:15:17,280 --> 00:15:21,640 Speaker 3: just because the Baltimore Ravens beat the Saprusco forty nine 284 00:15:21,760 --> 00:15:24,200 Speaker 3: ers and he played okay and Rock Party played terrible 285 00:15:24,320 --> 00:15:26,960 Speaker 3: does not mean automatically then that Lamar Jackson must be 286 00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:27,520 Speaker 3: the MVP. 287 00:15:28,240 --> 00:15:30,320 Speaker 2: Let me add this, Rob, I have the Dolphins be 288 00:15:30,360 --> 00:15:35,200 Speaker 2: the Ravens. Let's say the Ravens win, Dolphins loose, the 289 00:15:35,320 --> 00:15:39,640 Speaker 2: Dolphins host the Bills in the regular season finale. I 290 00:15:39,840 --> 00:15:43,040 Speaker 2: believe if Buffalo wins this weekend in Miami loses, that 291 00:15:43,200 --> 00:15:46,840 Speaker 2: game will be for the division. If you want a sleeper, 292 00:15:47,800 --> 00:15:52,480 Speaker 2: Josh Allen, if he wins that game against Miami on 293 00:15:52,520 --> 00:15:58,200 Speaker 2: the road, I mean, Buffalo of maiden amazing rally. I 294 00:15:58,200 --> 00:16:00,400 Speaker 2: think they'll have like six straight wins to close the season. 295 00:16:00,440 --> 00:16:02,560 Speaker 2: And I wouldn't rule out Josh Allen, who has been 296 00:16:02,680 --> 00:16:05,200 Speaker 2: basically Buffalo. I don't even know who their second best 297 00:16:05,200 --> 00:16:08,200 Speaker 2: player is, and don't tell me James Cook. It might 298 00:16:08,200 --> 00:16:11,520 Speaker 2: be James Cook, but that's a distant second Allen. That 299 00:16:11,760 --> 00:16:14,040 Speaker 2: that to me. I think Josh Allens will sleep, But 300 00:16:14,120 --> 00:16:15,360 Speaker 2: I just don't know how the media is going to 301 00:16:15,440 --> 00:16:17,920 Speaker 2: vote on it. But moving away from the award, rob 302 00:16:18,560 --> 00:16:20,000 Speaker 2: And when it comes to the playoffs, I just want 303 00:16:20,040 --> 00:16:22,280 Speaker 2: to be clear to everybody. I know the Niners laid 304 00:16:22,280 --> 00:16:25,320 Speaker 2: a big egg and they did not look good pretty specifically, 305 00:16:25,320 --> 00:16:29,000 Speaker 2: the offensive line got bullied. Shanahan again, falls behind, can't 306 00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:33,040 Speaker 2: come back, a lot of warning signs, guys. They were 307 00:16:33,080 --> 00:16:36,520 Speaker 2: playing a really really good Ravens team. Who's when they 308 00:16:36,600 --> 00:16:38,840 Speaker 2: step up in clatt they play all the good teams 309 00:16:38,880 --> 00:16:41,600 Speaker 2: and they beat him. The only good team they lost 310 00:16:41,640 --> 00:16:44,400 Speaker 2: to is Cleveland. The Colts lost, Come on, the other 311 00:16:44,440 --> 00:16:47,240 Speaker 2: lost Sealers, come on, get at those are fluke losses. 312 00:16:48,520 --> 00:16:53,600 Speaker 2: Like this is a great Baltimore team. So for my money, 313 00:16:53,640 --> 00:16:55,600 Speaker 2: San Francisco is still buy a mile the team to 314 00:16:55,600 --> 00:16:58,760 Speaker 2: beat in the NFC. I think in San Francisco, huge 315 00:16:58,800 --> 00:17:03,200 Speaker 2: gap Dallas, Philly, Detroit, depending on who's at home. But 316 00:17:03,240 --> 00:17:06,000 Speaker 2: I'm telling you right now, Robert, I'm taking at least 317 00:17:06,040 --> 00:17:08,880 Speaker 2: as of now, things could change, injuries, whatever, I think 318 00:17:08,880 --> 00:17:10,960 Speaker 2: I'm comfortable taking Dallas and the Points when they go 319 00:17:11,000 --> 00:17:13,800 Speaker 2: to Philly. If that's actually a matchup, I don't have 320 00:17:13,800 --> 00:17:16,119 Speaker 2: an issue. I think Dallas is the better team. Philly 321 00:17:16,160 --> 00:17:18,760 Speaker 2: is leaking oil two and three week for me in 322 00:17:18,800 --> 00:17:21,960 Speaker 2: the contest started out awesome two and oh Roland, Hello, 323 00:17:22,080 --> 00:17:26,600 Speaker 2: things look great? And then Philly and Casey double digit 324 00:17:26,640 --> 00:17:29,200 Speaker 2: favorites went oh in three Christmas week. Don't think I 325 00:17:29,240 --> 00:17:33,720 Speaker 2: won't forget this ats Obviously one of them lost out right. 326 00:17:34,040 --> 00:17:35,879 Speaker 2: The other was the Bills didn't cover against the Chargers. 327 00:17:35,920 --> 00:17:39,080 Speaker 2: They did get the win, but like the Eagles have problems. 328 00:17:39,320 --> 00:17:40,919 Speaker 2: How do you ring up four hundred and sixty five 329 00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:44,240 Speaker 2: yards of offense, twenty eight first downs, five trips to 330 00:17:44,240 --> 00:17:46,600 Speaker 2: the red zone, and you don't even cover the spread. 331 00:17:46,720 --> 00:17:49,040 Speaker 2: And it's because the defense stinks. Like Tyrod Taylor comes 332 00:17:49,080 --> 00:17:50,520 Speaker 2: to the game. Oh, let me chuck one over the 333 00:17:50,520 --> 00:17:53,880 Speaker 2: top to Darius Layton. Jalen Hurts, who is just he's 334 00:17:54,000 --> 00:17:56,080 Speaker 2: not the same guy he was last year. I don't 335 00:17:56,080 --> 00:17:59,960 Speaker 2: know his fatigue, hits health, whatever, bad pick six seven 336 00:18:00,000 --> 00:18:02,760 Speaker 2: twenty five yards? Like they just let teams hang around 337 00:18:03,480 --> 00:18:07,720 Speaker 2: their point differential rob eleven wins. Point differentials like plus 338 00:18:07,760 --> 00:18:10,760 Speaker 2: twenty five. I mean last year was like plus one 339 00:18:10,800 --> 00:18:14,159 Speaker 2: hundred and seventy. It's just they let people hang around. 340 00:18:14,160 --> 00:18:17,040 Speaker 2: And I don't know that I trust Philly. But I 341 00:18:17,040 --> 00:18:19,040 Speaker 2: think I asked this last week, who are you more 342 00:18:19,080 --> 00:18:22,320 Speaker 2: worried about Philly or Case? And I think most people 343 00:18:22,320 --> 00:18:25,040 Speaker 2: would have picked Philly. I think unequivocally, you have to 344 00:18:25,040 --> 00:18:28,160 Speaker 2: go Kansas City. Now you're a Raiders guy. You watch 345 00:18:28,200 --> 00:18:31,560 Speaker 2: the backup running back come in rush for a buck 346 00:18:31,640 --> 00:18:36,560 Speaker 2: thirty the starting quarterback completes I think nine passes. Somebody 347 00:18:36,600 --> 00:18:38,440 Speaker 2: told me they didn't come to pass in the second half. 348 00:18:38,520 --> 00:18:42,280 Speaker 2: I'll give a full disclosure. You know, Christmas Warning, Christmas 349 00:18:42,359 --> 00:18:45,320 Speaker 2: Night you're up late, and then Christmas Warning, you're up early. 350 00:18:45,720 --> 00:18:49,800 Speaker 2: I fell asleep in the first quarter of Raiders Chiefs 351 00:18:49,800 --> 00:18:52,000 Speaker 2: on Christmas Day, after we had done all the celebrating. 352 00:18:52,440 --> 00:18:54,800 Speaker 2: I wake up like two hours later. I'm kind of dazed, 353 00:18:55,400 --> 00:18:58,400 Speaker 2: and I'm like, Yo, what's the score. My son's playing Fortnite, 354 00:18:58,440 --> 00:19:02,520 Speaker 2: you know, and my daughter's like the Chiefs are losing. 355 00:19:02,600 --> 00:19:04,920 Speaker 2: I was like, wow, that's crazy. All right, maybe it's halftime. 356 00:19:05,520 --> 00:19:07,080 Speaker 2: I go in, it's the fourth quarter. I was like, 357 00:19:07,160 --> 00:19:09,520 Speaker 2: what the hell I had to You know, Fortunately with 358 00:19:09,520 --> 00:19:11,800 Speaker 2: the DVR, you can click the rewind button and I 359 00:19:11,880 --> 00:19:14,280 Speaker 2: run it back and I keep watching. I'm like, there's 360 00:19:14,359 --> 00:19:17,960 Speaker 2: nothing happening. The Chiefs can't do anything. Rob, I have 361 00:19:18,240 --> 00:19:23,400 Speaker 2: not seen a defending Super Bowl champ. Look that inept 362 00:19:23,440 --> 00:19:26,119 Speaker 2: without massive injuries, and Rob, I don't know, man, that 363 00:19:26,200 --> 00:19:28,639 Speaker 2: Raiders up. That was one of the for me, I 364 00:19:28,760 --> 00:19:30,320 Speaker 2: need to go down the list, but definitely one of 365 00:19:30,359 --> 00:19:32,440 Speaker 2: the three most shocking results of the season. Like it 366 00:19:32,480 --> 00:19:36,440 Speaker 2: was Dallas Arizona loss early, and this to me had 367 00:19:36,480 --> 00:19:39,800 Speaker 2: to be like in that discussion Chiefs at home, they 368 00:19:39,800 --> 00:19:41,320 Speaker 2: took money. By the way, it was ten all week 369 00:19:41,320 --> 00:19:43,040 Speaker 2: and then it goes up to eleven on game day, 370 00:19:43,600 --> 00:19:45,320 Speaker 2: like through the ten, through the ten and a half, 371 00:19:45,400 --> 00:19:48,400 Speaker 2: up to eleven like, and it didn't matter. The Raiders 372 00:19:48,880 --> 00:19:50,840 Speaker 2: basically couldn't move the football and won the game. I 373 00:19:50,880 --> 00:19:51,679 Speaker 2: don't know how they did it. 374 00:19:52,640 --> 00:19:55,800 Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, you actually shortchanged my guy, AOC eight O'Connell, 375 00:19:55,800 --> 00:19:57,639 Speaker 3: the only AOC you recognize you're in this podcast. 376 00:19:57,640 --> 00:19:58,080 Speaker 2: I'm sorry. 377 00:19:58,640 --> 00:20:01,080 Speaker 3: He he said he didn't complete a pass in the 378 00:20:01,080 --> 00:20:02,800 Speaker 3: second half, which is true. He actually didn't complete a 379 00:20:02,840 --> 00:20:06,639 Speaker 3: pass after the first quarter. Okay, and we still won 380 00:20:06,720 --> 00:20:08,960 Speaker 3: the game. And it's on the heels of basically back 381 00:20:08,960 --> 00:20:12,440 Speaker 3: to back defensive touchdowns in the in the second quarter. Look, 382 00:20:13,359 --> 00:20:15,520 Speaker 3: we've kind of been talking about this and talking around 383 00:20:15,560 --> 00:20:18,520 Speaker 3: it all season, about this Kansas City chief offense, Like, Hey, 384 00:20:18,560 --> 00:20:21,439 Speaker 3: you know, the receivers aren't very good, and you know 385 00:20:21,480 --> 00:20:22,520 Speaker 3: that's the biggest problem. 386 00:20:22,560 --> 00:20:23,400 Speaker 1: And that's true. 387 00:20:24,520 --> 00:20:28,600 Speaker 3: But I think now, if you're gonna blame solely the receivers, 388 00:20:28,640 --> 00:20:33,160 Speaker 3: I think that you're being disingenuous. Yes, totally, Like they 389 00:20:33,280 --> 00:20:38,240 Speaker 3: have much deeper problems than just the receiving core. Patrick 390 00:20:38,320 --> 00:20:42,159 Speaker 3: Mahomes looks as bad as he's ever looked as an 391 00:20:42,200 --> 00:20:45,359 Speaker 3: NFL quarterback. Now, obviously that's not that bad still because 392 00:20:45,400 --> 00:20:49,000 Speaker 3: he's been arguably in the greatest of all time conversations 393 00:20:49,000 --> 00:20:51,480 Speaker 3: since his first season starting right, like, he's been that good. 394 00:20:51,960 --> 00:20:54,960 Speaker 3: But he doesn't look comfortable. He doesn't look like he 395 00:20:55,040 --> 00:20:59,159 Speaker 3: trusts the receivers on the outside, he doesn't trust the 396 00:21:00,119 --> 00:21:06,640 Speaker 3: right tackle specifically, And even still with all of the 397 00:21:06,920 --> 00:21:10,600 Speaker 3: issues that their offense is having on the field, they 398 00:21:10,680 --> 00:21:14,640 Speaker 3: call plays and they run their offense as if it's 399 00:21:14,720 --> 00:21:17,320 Speaker 3: the Chiefs offense from a year two, three years ago. 400 00:21:17,680 --> 00:21:20,440 Speaker 3: They still want to get cute when they're not good 401 00:21:20,520 --> 00:21:23,480 Speaker 3: enough to get cute, Like that that fumble return for 402 00:21:23,520 --> 00:21:27,639 Speaker 3: a touchdown was because they snapped it to a running 403 00:21:27,640 --> 00:21:31,879 Speaker 3: back receiver it trying to hand it back to Patrick Mahons, Like, why, 404 00:21:32,560 --> 00:21:34,879 Speaker 3: like you, who do you think you are? You're not 405 00:21:34,960 --> 00:21:38,639 Speaker 3: that team anymore. You are a defensive team who should 406 00:21:38,680 --> 00:21:41,960 Speaker 3: be trying to play ball, control offense and win games. 407 00:21:42,640 --> 00:21:46,080 Speaker 3: Nineteen seventeen, seventeen thirteen. That should be where you're at, 408 00:21:46,320 --> 00:21:51,719 Speaker 3: But instead they like to fancy themselves as the twenty nineteen, 409 00:21:51,840 --> 00:21:55,200 Speaker 3: twenty twenty version, when you know, Patrick Mahomes was coming 410 00:21:55,240 --> 00:21:57,280 Speaker 3: up and Travis Kelcey was in his prime and Tyreek 411 00:21:57,359 --> 00:21:59,560 Speaker 3: Hill was exploding on the scene. And they're not that 412 00:21:59,640 --> 00:22:03,480 Speaker 3: team in anymore now because the AFC has kind of 413 00:22:03,480 --> 00:22:05,959 Speaker 3: come back to earth a little bit, because you know, 414 00:22:06,119 --> 00:22:08,320 Speaker 3: Joe burrowed me out for the season, Trevor Lawrence has 415 00:22:08,359 --> 00:22:12,320 Speaker 3: been basically a bust, and the Bills may or may 416 00:22:12,359 --> 00:22:15,280 Speaker 3: not may even make the playoffs. They still have a 417 00:22:15,320 --> 00:22:17,600 Speaker 3: path to get to the super Bowl. But I don't 418 00:22:17,600 --> 00:22:19,840 Speaker 3: think anyone feels good about the Chiefs right now as 419 00:22:19,840 --> 00:22:20,760 Speaker 3: we record this podcast. 420 00:22:20,840 --> 00:22:23,719 Speaker 2: Yeah, I totally agree. I like that they're not that team. 421 00:22:23,800 --> 00:22:26,520 Speaker 2: You're not that guy, pal, I'm sure you've seen that video. 422 00:22:26,560 --> 00:22:29,760 Speaker 2: You're not that guy. I showed it to my kids. Well, 423 00:22:29,800 --> 00:22:33,080 Speaker 2: my son, my daughters need to see that crap. Anyways. 424 00:22:33,200 --> 00:22:35,480 Speaker 2: In other by the way, I'm totally with you. I 425 00:22:35,520 --> 00:22:37,159 Speaker 2: think the Chiefs could actually be one and done in 426 00:22:37,200 --> 00:22:38,920 Speaker 2: the playoffs. I don't care if they host the game. 427 00:22:39,280 --> 00:22:41,800 Speaker 2: I think they're in legit trouble against whoever they face. 428 00:22:42,119 --> 00:22:46,080 Speaker 2: Football is back.

So I did get the dub in 445 00:23:42,280 --> 00:23:45,159 Speaker 2: the semifinals against the number one seed. I'm basically like 446 00:23:45,200 --> 00:23:48,520 Speaker 2: that sixth seed who gets lucky as hell and just 447 00:23:48,560 --> 00:23:51,480 Speaker 2: peels off wins. So I've taken down two teams who 448 00:23:51,480 --> 00:23:53,959 Speaker 2: were like seventy percent chance to beat me. I need 449 00:23:54,000 --> 00:23:58,600 Speaker 2: to think pickens for the thirty five olave. I got 450 00:23:58,680 --> 00:24:01,440 Speaker 2: very fortunate and took down the defending jamp by three points, 451 00:24:01,760 --> 00:24:04,120 Speaker 2: and now I'm in the championship. So that's that's a win. 452 00:24:05,520 --> 00:24:07,920 Speaker 2: I haven't really looked at my matchup. Oh no, I'm sorry, 453 00:24:07,960 --> 00:24:10,040 Speaker 2: of course I looked at my matchup. I am facing 454 00:24:10,080 --> 00:24:12,400 Speaker 2: the number two seed, who's a sixty seven percent chance 455 00:24:12,440 --> 00:24:16,000 Speaker 2: to beat me. Yeah. While we're talking about gambling, we 456 00:24:16,000 --> 00:24:19,320 Speaker 2: can wrap up with this rob. As you guys know, 457 00:24:19,400 --> 00:24:22,959 Speaker 2: I do the Circa contest every year in Vegas. It's 458 00:24:23,119 --> 00:24:24,840 Speaker 2: just not my year. I couldn't get I couldn't get 459 00:24:24,840 --> 00:24:27,760 Speaker 2: on track. Started out I think with a two and three, 460 00:24:27,840 --> 00:24:29,600 Speaker 2: and then it was a lot of three and two three. 461 00:24:29,880 --> 00:24:31,120 Speaker 2: There's a five and oh in there in a four 462 00:24:31,119 --> 00:24:35,119 Speaker 2: and one. I just couldn't get hot now because I 463 00:24:35,160 --> 00:24:37,199 Speaker 2: hate to be negative, and I tell my kid that 464 00:24:37,240 --> 00:24:39,520 Speaker 2: whole Bruce Lee thing. Your you know your body and mind. 465 00:24:39,560 --> 00:24:43,280 Speaker 2: Can hear you being negative? Be positive? I'm in that 466 00:24:43,359 --> 00:24:46,239 Speaker 2: full pick them contest all season. Guy from Fox told 467 00:24:46,280 --> 00:24:48,679 Speaker 2: me to sign up for it, and I have soared 468 00:24:48,720 --> 00:24:52,800 Speaker 2: into third place, two games back of the leader. I 469 00:24:52,800 --> 00:24:55,239 Speaker 2: want some counter intuitive picks this week, and they all 470 00:24:55,320 --> 00:24:57,760 Speaker 2: hit because he just takes favorites. So that's how you 471 00:24:57,800 --> 00:25:02,480 Speaker 2: gained ground late in these contests. I believe it's fourteen thousand, 472 00:25:02,520 --> 00:25:04,240 Speaker 2: which would be a really nice hit. I don't know 473 00:25:04,280 --> 00:25:06,000 Speaker 2: if I'll be able to overcome him with two weeks left, 474 00:25:06,000 --> 00:25:11,040 Speaker 2: but anyways, you know, I do the gambling contest. I 475 00:25:11,200 --> 00:25:14,560 Speaker 2: don't do Circa Survivor, which I think we had somebody 476 00:25:14,600 --> 00:25:16,479 Speaker 2: else was it Rufus Peabody on here, and he had 477 00:25:16,520 --> 00:25:19,119 Speaker 2: like nine entries and I think he lost like seven 478 00:25:19,119 --> 00:25:24,720 Speaker 2: of a one week, which is insane. So this Circa 479 00:25:24,800 --> 00:25:28,560 Speaker 2: Survivor is just unbelievable because there's so much money at stake. 480 00:25:29,000 --> 00:25:32,400 Speaker 2: So they were apparently a couple of weeks ago down 481 00:25:32,440 --> 00:25:34,360 Speaker 2: to like twelve guys. Maybe it was fifteen. I don't 482 00:25:34,359 --> 00:25:37,280 Speaker 2: have the exact number, and they decided, hey, let's have 483 00:25:37,320 --> 00:25:40,879 Speaker 2: a discussion, maybe we should chop up the pot. And 484 00:25:41,000 --> 00:25:44,399 Speaker 2: everybody walks away, excuse me, like a guaranteed four hundred 485 00:25:44,400 --> 00:25:46,879 Speaker 2: thousand dollars and then we'll battle over the remaining like 486 00:25:46,920 --> 00:25:52,439 Speaker 2: four million dollars. Right, So there was a potential for 487 00:25:52,440 --> 00:25:54,080 Speaker 2: four hundred thousand. All you have to say was, yeah, 488 00:25:54,119 --> 00:25:57,520 Speaker 2: let's chop up the pot. All it takes is one 489 00:25:57,560 --> 00:25:59,840 Speaker 2: greedy dude to say, uh uh, I'm winning this MF. 490 00:26:00,040 --> 00:26:02,240 Speaker 2: Y'all can play for second. I'm not chopping up anything. 491 00:26:03,600 --> 00:26:09,439 Speaker 2: And because you know how gambling stories go, they're now 492 00:26:09,480 --> 00:26:11,879 Speaker 2: down to four left in the contest. And the one 493 00:26:11,960 --> 00:26:13,800 Speaker 2: guy who did not want to chop it up, who 494 00:26:13,920 --> 00:26:17,440 Speaker 2: turned down four hundred thousand, which is in large parts 495 00:26:17,440 --> 00:26:21,480 Speaker 2: of America a house and in other parts of America 496 00:26:21,600 --> 00:26:23,960 Speaker 2: a twenty percent down payment on a really really nice house. 497 00:26:24,720 --> 00:26:28,320 Speaker 2: He turned that down. And he had the Denver Broncos 498 00:26:28,800 --> 00:26:32,040 Speaker 2: on Christmas Eve and he must have been vomiting in 499 00:26:32,080 --> 00:26:38,359 Speaker 2: his mouth watching the Denver Broncos fall behind big come 500 00:26:38,400 --> 00:26:41,480 Speaker 2: back and then totally not even try to move the 501 00:26:41,480 --> 00:26:44,200 Speaker 2: football with like two minutes left and then Belichick comes 502 00:26:44,200 --> 00:26:48,159 Speaker 2: and beats him. Dude went from an automatic four hundred 503 00:26:48,240 --> 00:26:52,639 Speaker 2: like literally sign on, everybody gets four hundred k or thereabouts, 504 00:26:52,880 --> 00:26:55,960 Speaker 2: and we'll we'll play for the remaining four million bucks 505 00:26:56,840 --> 00:26:58,720 Speaker 2: literally four hundred thousand dollars. All you have to do 506 00:26:58,760 --> 00:27:02,480 Speaker 2: is say I agree that guy didn't. He's now left 507 00:27:02,760 --> 00:27:08,080 Speaker 2: with zero and there's I think there's four people left 508 00:27:08,080 --> 00:27:09,800 Speaker 2: and they could split it up now and everybody gets 509 00:27:09,840 --> 00:27:13,600 Speaker 2: over a mill. It's kind of wild the contest. The 510 00:27:13,640 --> 00:27:18,240 Speaker 2: reason another survivor is Thanksgiving Weekend is one week or 511 00:27:18,240 --> 00:27:21,000 Speaker 2: Thanksgiving Day I'm sorry, is one entire week, so you 512 00:27:21,119 --> 00:27:23,880 Speaker 2: can't use whoever the three favorites are going to be 513 00:27:24,160 --> 00:27:27,520 Speaker 2: on Thanksgiving for the first like nine weeks, and then 514 00:27:27,560 --> 00:27:29,359 Speaker 2: you've got to save it to use that day and 515 00:27:29,400 --> 00:27:34,560 Speaker 2: then Christmas later in the season becomes a day or 516 00:27:34,560 --> 00:27:36,840 Speaker 2: maybe this year was like I don't really know because 517 00:27:36,840 --> 00:27:39,440 Speaker 2: I didn't enter it, but it was basically like, there's 518 00:27:39,520 --> 00:27:41,400 Speaker 2: three games, you've got to use this as a week 519 00:27:41,400 --> 00:27:44,119 Speaker 2: to whittle down the crowd. Well what if you've used 520 00:27:44,160 --> 00:27:48,600 Speaker 2: all those teams, Oh, then you are eliminated automatically. Well 521 00:27:48,600 --> 00:27:51,680 Speaker 2: that seems dumb. Then you've got to pick a loser. 522 00:27:51,720 --> 00:27:54,520 Speaker 2: While I get that stinks, so it just it seems 523 00:27:54,640 --> 00:27:56,600 Speaker 2: really challenging at any rate, Rob, I don't know how 524 00:27:56,600 --> 00:27:59,080 Speaker 2: closely you followed this. I followed some of it online. 525 00:27:59,320 --> 00:28:02,240 Speaker 2: I try to ignore any gambling information that's not actionable, 526 00:28:02,480 --> 00:28:06,959 Speaker 2: but you gotta feel pretty brutal around the holiday season 527 00:28:06,960 --> 00:28:09,440 Speaker 2: to turn down four hundred thousand dollars. 528 00:28:10,119 --> 00:28:11,959 Speaker 1: Oh, that guy gets exactly what he deserved. 529 00:28:12,800 --> 00:28:16,119 Speaker 3: And look, I understand not wanting to chop, because you 530 00:28:16,160 --> 00:28:18,679 Speaker 3: know sometimes peop people say like that's that's like a 531 00:28:18,760 --> 00:28:20,600 Speaker 3: tie in sports, like you're not gonna do that kind 532 00:28:20,600 --> 00:28:22,760 Speaker 3: of thing. I understand the competitive side of it. So 533 00:28:23,480 --> 00:28:26,400 Speaker 3: discounting that fact, the reason why I have no sympathy 534 00:28:26,400 --> 00:28:29,440 Speaker 3: for this guy is when he was interviewed by the 535 00:28:29,520 --> 00:28:32,960 Speaker 3: Las Vegas Review Journal about why he decided not to chop, 536 00:28:33,000 --> 00:28:34,719 Speaker 3: he was the only one who decided not to. So 537 00:28:34,760 --> 00:28:38,760 Speaker 3: the eight other guys or note other guys who didn't 538 00:28:38,840 --> 00:28:41,200 Speaker 3: win in this last week with Denver, the excuse me. 539 00:28:41,400 --> 00:28:44,560 Speaker 3: Five other guys had Denver. They also wanted to chop 540 00:28:44,680 --> 00:28:46,600 Speaker 3: and they wouldn't allow to. So I feel bad for 541 00:28:46,640 --> 00:28:50,120 Speaker 3: those guys first, But Sean Perry, the gambler you're talking about, 542 00:28:50,680 --> 00:28:54,160 Speaker 3: told the Review Journal, if you do four hundred thousand 543 00:28:54,160 --> 00:28:55,640 Speaker 3: and each, any money I take out of the prize 544 00:28:55,680 --> 00:28:59,000 Speaker 3: pools money, I'm in theory losing because I have an edge. 545 00:28:59,080 --> 00:29:01,440 Speaker 3: I believe I'm the best left. I'm confident my ability. 546 00:29:01,520 --> 00:29:04,320 Speaker 3: This is what I do. I'm a big time crusher. 547 00:29:04,640 --> 00:29:06,320 Speaker 1: Like you sell big time. 548 00:29:07,160 --> 00:29:10,120 Speaker 3: To be honest with you, yes, he said, and he 549 00:29:10,160 --> 00:29:12,880 Speaker 3: added I've been the biggest winner in sports for. 550 00:29:12,800 --> 00:29:13,720 Speaker 1: The longest time. 551 00:29:15,600 --> 00:29:18,520 Speaker 3: No, you haven't, bro Like, Look, even the best guys 552 00:29:18,520 --> 00:29:21,120 Speaker 3: in the world that do this, none of them say 553 00:29:21,200 --> 00:29:23,920 Speaker 3: things like that. Right, So that's why I don't feel bad. 554 00:29:24,120 --> 00:29:26,680 Speaker 3: But I because it's Christmas week and I know this 555 00:29:26,720 --> 00:29:29,160 Speaker 3: is kind of a negative story. Can we have a 556 00:29:29,200 --> 00:29:30,960 Speaker 3: positive story in the world of sports? 557 00:29:30,960 --> 00:29:31,120 Speaker 1: Game? 558 00:29:31,160 --> 00:29:32,480 Speaker 3: I know you saw this one, jas because you're all 559 00:29:32,480 --> 00:29:35,920 Speaker 3: over the gram. Did you hear about the better who 560 00:29:35,960 --> 00:29:39,800 Speaker 3: turned a five dollars fourteen leg parlay into half a 561 00:29:39,840 --> 00:29:42,720 Speaker 3: million dollars because of Christian McCaffrey's touchdown. 562 00:29:42,480 --> 00:29:44,920 Speaker 2: Against the league? Anytime? Touchdown for all those guys? 563 00:29:45,360 --> 00:29:49,360 Speaker 3: Yes, for fourteen players CMC Najie Harris, Gabriel Davis, Jamiir 564 00:29:49,400 --> 00:29:51,880 Speaker 3: gives DK metcalf Drome for Chris Rodriguez, jun even know 565 00:29:51,920 --> 00:29:54,920 Speaker 3: who that is, Jonathan Taylor, Calvin Ridley, James Connery, Moster, 566 00:29:55,000 --> 00:29:58,720 Speaker 3: Javonte Williams Day but Checko and DeAndre Swift. So this 567 00:29:58,800 --> 00:30:01,840 Speaker 3: dude in Jersey turned five dollars in the five hundred grand. 568 00:30:01,840 --> 00:30:03,600 Speaker 3: That's the kind of bet that we only dream of. 569 00:30:03,680 --> 00:30:05,000 Speaker 3: That's like winning the power ball. 570 00:30:05,120 --> 00:30:08,120 Speaker 2: So even if you bet, let's say you do ten 571 00:30:08,120 --> 00:30:13,760 Speaker 2: of those a weekend at five bucks fifty times fifteen 572 00:30:13,800 --> 00:30:18,040 Speaker 2: weeks is probably six seven hundred bucks. How much did 573 00:30:18,080 --> 00:30:18,360 Speaker 2: he win? 574 00:30:19,200 --> 00:30:21,760 Speaker 1: Five hundred grand or just under five hundred grand? 575 00:30:22,120 --> 00:30:25,760 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's worth it. I mean, you're not gonna Lightning's 576 00:30:25,800 --> 00:30:30,240 Speaker 2: not gonna strike twice, you know. But wow, that's a 577 00:30:30,240 --> 00:30:30,560 Speaker 2: good hit. 578 00:30:30,680 --> 00:30:33,680 Speaker 1: Huh Yeah. So I'm happy for that guy.
