If you're watching 0:00:14.400 --> 0:00:18.040 on YouTube, when I do other people's podcasts, I turn 0:00:18.079 --> 0:00:21.920 the little mic flag like this to promote my own podcast, 0:00:22.079 --> 0:00:24.120 so it's in the screen. But when you guys are 0:00:24.160 --> 0:00:26.960 watching this podcast, you know what podcasts are watching. So 0:00:27.320 --> 0:00:30.440 my friends a boost Mobile get the added visibility. A 0:00:30.560 --> 0:00:34.040 big day we have. We're gonna be doing our gambling 0:00:34.040 --> 0:00:37.199 show later today that you guys will hear tomorrow. We 0:00:37.240 --> 0:00:40.360 have a ton to do today. It is also my 0:00:40.520 --> 0:00:44.680 wife and Demons's mother's birthday, so we are going to 0:00:44.880 --> 0:00:48.320 try to be as efficient with our time as possible 0:00:48.440 --> 0:00:52.559 because Pal, I'm a little behind on some of the 0:00:52.560 --> 0:00:59.200 birthday stuff and the birthday is today, so there might 0:00:59.240 --> 0:01:03.080 be some wrapping that needs to be done, purchasing that 0:01:03.160 --> 0:01:08.840 needs to be done. There Did I did I just 0:01:09.840 --> 0:01:15.480 moments ago secure the cake? It's possible. Did you hear 0:01:15.600 --> 0:01:22.200 me on the phone to make sure? Yeah? No, No, 0:01:22.240 --> 0:01:24.440 it wasn't a social media post. It was a cake 0:01:24.480 --> 0:01:29.320 for your mother's birthday, and you know how old is 0:01:29.360 --> 0:01:32.920 your mother today? There's no way to tell, and so 0:01:33.319 --> 0:01:38.080 the yeah uh and so no, there's no way to tell. 0:01:38.280 --> 0:01:41.000 You don't believe it or not, demon's you don't know. 0:01:41.959 --> 0:01:45.080 And so there is just a lot we need to do, 0:01:45.600 --> 0:01:49.440 which is why I expected today to be a very 0:01:49.480 --> 0:01:54.160 efficient bang bang bang bang bang. And then the producers 0:01:54.280 --> 0:02:01.000 just chummed the waters reminding me about some ofpal Bill 0:02:01.080 --> 0:02:06.760 Simmons and the Ringer's latest rankings, and I cannot stay away. 0:02:07.120 --> 0:02:09.880 So before we even get to straight to voicemail brought 0:02:09.919 --> 0:02:11.919 to you by Boost Mobile, let me just address two 0:02:11.960 --> 0:02:16.240 things as quickly as I am able to. So the 0:02:16.320 --> 0:02:20.720 latest Ringer Top one hundred came out and Bron is 0:02:20.760 --> 0:02:25.079 outside the top ten, and on he's eleven, And on 0:02:25.120 --> 0:02:31.280 its face, I don't actually that is within the range 0:02:31.919 --> 0:02:35.920 of what is you know, in my opinion, an acceptable ranking. 0:02:37.680 --> 0:02:41.520 But it is what kills me is who is number ten? 0:02:42.160 --> 0:02:45.720 So let me make sure I have this right. And 0:02:45.960 --> 0:02:49.240 this is a little frustrating to me, and I think 0:02:49.280 --> 0:02:54.640 it's fair. So eleven is Bron? Number ten is durant? 0:02:54.960 --> 0:02:56.840 I knew it didn't. I didn't even see the list. 0:02:57.040 --> 0:02:59.040 I swear I didn't even see the list. 0:02:59.280 --> 0:02:59.880 That's crazy. 0:03:00.000 --> 0:03:04.000 There's just no argument that he's better, and there's no 0:03:04.160 --> 0:03:08.000 argument that he's more available. There's no argument that he's 0:03:08.080 --> 0:03:13.360 more durable or reliable. So and by the way, Steph 0:03:13.560 --> 0:03:18.640 was seven. I I don't think I I think Bron 0:03:19.040 --> 0:03:23.799 is still better than Steph. That at least, though intelligent 0:03:23.840 --> 0:03:27.600 people can disagree like all that that that is a 0:03:27.680 --> 0:03:34.320 debatable point. I don't get why like people are like, well, 0:03:34.480 --> 0:03:39.200 Bron's forty, Durant's old too, and Durant misses way more 0:03:39.280 --> 0:03:45.240 time and and so I just that that that just 0:03:45.440 --> 0:03:48.560 on its and this is not a shot at Kevin Durant. 0:03:49.000 --> 0:03:57.520 He is if he, Steph and Bron are all rewriting 0:03:58.240 --> 0:04:02.200 what is really stick for old guys in this league 0:04:02.240 --> 0:04:09.559 to do? But it is I don't get why Durant 0:04:09.680 --> 0:04:12.720 and I think this is a good that because you 0:04:12.800 --> 0:04:15.600 can do and this is a great interactive They do 0:04:15.640 --> 0:04:18.359 a really good job with these the visual pieces of 0:04:18.400 --> 0:04:25.400 these articles. But Durant ended last season fourteenth. I don't 0:04:25.440 --> 0:04:29.120 know why you've jumped at what happened where he jumps 0:04:29.160 --> 0:04:32.560 to ten. I just don't. I don't I don't get it, 0:04:32.600 --> 0:04:35.600 and again, I think Durant is unbelievable. The Rockets might 0:04:35.600 --> 0:04:38.600 be my pick to win the championship this year. This 0:04:38.760 --> 0:04:43.839 is I am not trying to beef with Durant. I 0:04:44.080 --> 0:04:52.159 just were yet to have the moment, certainly yet to 0:04:52.240 --> 0:04:56.359 have the moment post Golden State, where there is a 0:04:56.600 --> 0:05:03.159 credible evidence or even eye to based argument that Durant's better. 0:05:03.640 --> 0:05:08.000 So that's a little frustrating. The other thing they put 0:05:08.120 --> 0:05:11.640 in there was a quote from Bill where he said, 0:05:11.720 --> 0:05:16.560 if the Nuggets win the title and he wins MVP, again, 0:05:17.200 --> 0:05:19.320 I assume again I haven't listened to this. I've been 0:05:19.320 --> 0:05:22.640 so in football mode. I don't think he means finals MVP. 0:05:22.760 --> 0:05:27.920 He means regular season MVP. He's indisputably one of the 0:05:28.000 --> 0:05:35.440 ten best players ever, and so I don't think that 0:05:35.600 --> 0:05:37.680 he being Jokic is what. I don't know if I 0:05:37.680 --> 0:05:40.920 said that on the front end, I don't think that 0:05:41.120 --> 0:05:46.159 is necessarily even an incorrect take. It just though, does 0:05:48.160 --> 0:05:52.200 bear mentioning, because as you guys know, I am the 0:05:52.279 --> 0:06:00.560 self appointed czar of top tens, having to have ten 0:06:00.600 --> 0:06:07.200 people in them. If you are arguing that if they 0:06:07.279 --> 0:06:11.000 win this title, they being Denver Joker is top ten, 0:06:11.960 --> 0:06:18.480 then you are arguing three of the following people are not. Okay, 0:06:20.080 --> 0:06:36.400 bron Kareem, Michael, Magic, Russell, Wilt, Duncan, Kobe, Bird, Dream, Shaq, Steph. 0:06:36.760 --> 0:06:40.400 That is I think a pretty universally agreed upon top twelve, 0:06:40.440 --> 0:06:43.560 with respect to Jerry and Oscar and Hell, if we 0:06:43.680 --> 0:06:46.320 want to go super old school Mike in and with 0:06:46.360 --> 0:06:52.200 respect to Doctor j and Moses and whomever, that's the 0:06:52.360 --> 0:06:58.239 top twelve. So if Joker wins, I think most people 0:06:58.279 --> 0:07:01.719 are gonna say Dream is out if he's if he's 0:07:01.720 --> 0:07:05.520 in or not, so there, that's the easiest one to 0:07:05.720 --> 0:07:14.800 take out. I think Bill might say Wilt is out. 0:07:15.840 --> 0:07:20.200 I wouldn't, but I think Bill maybe would. And then 0:07:21.080 --> 0:07:25.480 then it gets a little tricky, which is who is 0:07:26.080 --> 0:07:30.440 If we're just saying Dream and Wilt are the easy outs, 0:07:30.520 --> 0:07:33.400 which and again I think Wilt's the sixth gradest player ever, 0:07:33.480 --> 0:07:42.600 but you're taking out Kobe, Bird, Shack, Steph. I don't know. 0:07:43.440 --> 0:07:49.000 So four MVPs, which is what it would be for Joker, 0:07:49.160 --> 0:07:55.960 and two rings would And by the way, I didn't 0:07:56.200 --> 0:08:00.160 excuse me when I said that's not including it, it's 0:08:00.160 --> 0:08:03.640 not including Durant I didn't even think about that, But 0:08:04.280 --> 0:08:08.840 Durant's not in the top ten. It is top tens 0:08:08.880 --> 0:08:13.080 are gonna get really prickly for people if let's say 0:08:13.880 --> 0:08:16.960 this hypothetical happens and Joker all of a sudden has 0:08:17.040 --> 0:08:20.560 multiple rings and four MVPs and has kind of elbowed 0:08:20.600 --> 0:08:25.120 his way in there, because it's not gonna be as 0:08:25.200 --> 0:08:29.280 simple as okay, we're just dropping dream who By the way, 0:08:29.680 --> 0:08:33.480 I don't have as twelfth, I have his tenth. I 0:08:33.880 --> 0:08:37.200 the list I gave you guys was the order of 0:08:37.240 --> 0:08:43.440 my one through twelve. But is Joker better than Shack? 0:08:45.240 --> 0:08:49.960 I that's it. That's a tough sell. Maybe like it's 0:08:50.520 --> 0:08:57.800 it is. Do we think he's already better than Steph? 0:08:58.200 --> 0:09:03.560 I don't with one more ring? Maybe it's the there 0:09:03.600 --> 0:09:08.600 you're going what's going to become popular demons in ten 0:09:08.720 --> 0:09:15.160 years are all time top tens that do not include 0:09:16.040 --> 0:09:21.800 Kobe or Bird And that is hard for me to 0:09:22.240 --> 0:09:27.760 wrap my mind around. But I've got Kobe eight, Bird nine, 0:09:28.000 --> 0:09:36.040 and that's with them ahead of Steph, Shack, Joker. I 0:09:36.040 --> 0:09:38.640 know some people disagree with it, So it's just that's. 0:09:39.080 --> 0:09:43.040 That's the most complete NBA players I've seen. I think 0:09:43.080 --> 0:09:45.000 he has everything. I do think he's probably going to 0:09:45.600 --> 0:09:47.840 sneaking that top ten by the end of everything. 0:09:49.120 --> 0:09:51.840 Well, he is unequivocally, I don't know if I should 0:09:51.840 --> 0:09:56.320 say it's one of the greatest. He's one of the greatest, 0:09:57.040 --> 0:10:03.480 probably five or six offensive players. Ever, I struggle a 0:10:03.520 --> 0:10:08.319 bit with the defense. Yeah, well he gets the no again. 0:10:08.440 --> 0:10:11.400 And I don't think he's like some massive liability defensively. 0:10:11.440 --> 0:10:16.240 It's not the but there's some holes on that side now. 0:10:16.360 --> 0:10:22.280 So so Duncan might be the greatest defensive player well 0:10:22.400 --> 0:10:27.679 dream post Russell. Duncan's one of the two greatest defensive 0:10:27.720 --> 0:10:34.200 players post Russell. And to me, Duncan's offense is better 0:10:34.679 --> 0:10:40.040 than Joker's defense obviously, and but offense is worth more 0:10:40.080 --> 0:10:43.560 than defense. It's tricky. It's tricky. I'm not again, I'm 0:10:43.559 --> 0:10:46.160 not here to say that's an outrageous take like Joker 0:10:46.200 --> 0:10:50.200 has earned it. It is also the other thing, just 0:10:50.240 --> 0:10:55.200 real quick that Bill Bill, when he was talking about Giannis, 0:10:55.200 --> 0:11:00.960 mentioned the fact that Yannis has only won eight playoff series, 0:11:02.200 --> 0:11:05.960 which was crazy, like to think about like that he 0:11:06.040 --> 0:11:08.520 did a builded a really good thing where he's talking 0:11:08.520 --> 0:11:11.679 about the you know, all time Playoff series one and 0:11:11.760 --> 0:11:17.040 bron has forty one, Duncan has like thirty five, Kobe 0:11:17.040 --> 0:11:20.720 I think thirty two. Again, this is Bill's thing, not mine. 0:11:20.720 --> 0:11:24.040 But from listening to it, Jordan had I think like 0:11:24.080 --> 0:11:29.400 thirty one, and he mentioned how Giannis has eight. I 0:11:29.440 --> 0:11:32.920 was like, wow, like he won four the year they 0:11:32.960 --> 0:11:41.600 won the titles. Joker has ten. So when we are again, 0:11:41.679 --> 0:11:45.040 this assumes he actually gets to fourteen because he wins 0:11:45.040 --> 0:11:54.800 four more. I have a little allergy too, saying a 0:11:54.880 --> 0:12:02.199 guy who's been passed round two twice ever and now 0:12:02.240 --> 0:12:05.000 it would be three times if they win the title, 0:12:06.040 --> 0:12:09.920 is you know we're gonna bump him ahead of Kobe Bryant, 0:12:10.240 --> 0:12:16.760 who went to seven NBA finals. Like so that that 0:12:16.800 --> 0:12:22.040 part of it just is just reflexively it feels I 0:12:22.080 --> 0:12:27.959 mean Duncan went to six finals. I don't even know 0:12:28.000 --> 0:12:30.679 the conference finals off the top of my head. That 0:12:30.920 --> 0:12:39.480 that part feels wrong. Yeah, but it maybe it's not, 0:12:40.440 --> 0:12:44.760 And so I the I I do think though for Joker, 0:12:45.559 --> 0:12:54.160 he has reached the ceiling he can get to as 0:12:54.200 --> 0:12:58.640 far as where he's ranked aps in another title, like 0:12:58.720 --> 0:13:03.920 wherever he is right now, he winning, he has maxed 0:13:03.960 --> 0:13:08.160 out how high you can climb based on individual accolades, 0:13:08.520 --> 0:13:13.680 like he is as high as a one ring player 0:13:13.800 --> 0:13:17.000 can be. And people can say that's reductive or that's silly, 0:13:17.000 --> 0:13:22.800 that it's not it's totally fair. In the it's just 0:13:22.880 --> 0:13:27.280 totally fair. And the guys are telling me Bill said 0:13:27.320 --> 0:13:30.160 he'd be there with Bird and Magic. I think Bill 0:13:30.280 --> 0:13:34.080 has Magic rated lower than I do. I think Bill has, 0:13:34.320 --> 0:13:39.840 like to me, Magic is in a slight tier above Bird, 0:13:39.960 --> 0:13:42.640 and I think that Bill has Bird and Magic in 0:13:42.679 --> 0:13:45.920 the same tier. But that okay. For a show that 0:13:45.920 --> 0:13:47.840 I said was gonna go really fast, we just spent 0:13:47.920 --> 0:13:50.040 fifteen minutes on something that wasn't even in the rundown, 0:13:50.160 --> 0:13:54.120 So that's great. We haven't even gotten to straight to 0:13:54.240 --> 0:13:57.559 voicemail brought to you by Boost Mobile, so let's get 0:13:57.640 --> 0:13:59.920 right to it. Go ahead, pal, or no, not go ahead. 0:14:01.480 --> 0:14:05.000 Brian Branch's one game suspension has been upheld. Lucas scored 0:14:05.040 --> 0:14:08.280 twenty five in his preseason debut, and the Boston Coaches 0:14:08.320 --> 0:14:12.800 beat the Boston media fifty seven to four. They said, 0:14:12.800 --> 0:14:14.960 do you think the What's Right crew could score more 0:14:15.000 --> 0:14:15.559 than four? 0:14:16.120 --> 0:14:16.640 Yeah? 0:14:18.160 --> 0:14:21.320 I mean I think Demons could hold his own. I 0:14:21.440 --> 0:14:23.880 feel like they go ahead. 0:14:24.200 --> 0:14:26.280 I mean, I'd have like fifteen alone if we I 0:14:26.280 --> 0:14:27.760 don't know what, like quarters. 0:14:27.440 --> 0:14:30.240 They were the problem. 0:14:29.800 --> 0:14:33.560 Because it's the staff, the guys X dogs. 0:14:34.600 --> 0:14:37.880 Well yeah, I mean there's some former pros on the staff. Yeah, 0:14:38.040 --> 0:14:41.000 I mean former and Missoula was a five year D 0:14:41.160 --> 0:14:45.960 one player. The problem would be this what what's that look? 0:14:46.160 --> 0:14:49.840 I mean Joe Mizuela, yea, I would, I would. 0:14:50.200 --> 0:14:53.200 Joe Missoula played a higher than thirty games at West 0:14:53.280 --> 0:14:54.640 Virginia and he was greaty. 0:14:56.040 --> 0:14:58.280 He looked like a gritty guy. But yeah, in these 0:14:58.360 --> 0:14:59.680 days he's probably got the checkers. 0:15:00.160 --> 0:15:04.440 The word here would be the problem for us. We would, 0:15:04.520 --> 0:15:09.480 I honestly think we maybe would need you like to 0:15:09.680 --> 0:15:14.240 come off the bench if we wanted, if we wanted to, 0:15:14.360 --> 0:15:18.080 like if the whole goal was let's get to double 0:15:18.120 --> 0:15:21.800 digits and funnel it through Demanse. I think if we 0:15:21.960 --> 0:15:25.840 just started the game like that, they would just correctly 0:15:25.880 --> 0:15:29.520 be like, Okay, he's doubled at all times. The other 0:15:29.640 --> 0:15:32.000 four idiots got to go four on three and we 0:15:32.080 --> 0:15:36.760 might just be cooked. I feel like I can't prove it, 0:15:37.200 --> 0:15:40.640 but I feel like vic is probably a good athlete. 0:15:41.280 --> 0:15:44.000 I don't know that I can prove it. 0:15:44.840 --> 0:15:44.920 Me. 0:15:45.320 --> 0:15:50.440 Dan and Matt are just drawn dead that these are 0:15:50.480 --> 0:15:54.040 the things I know, and so it would really we 0:15:54.080 --> 0:15:58.720 would really need the demands vic two man game to 0:15:58.800 --> 0:16:02.920 be crushing. I don't know I would have met. I 0:16:02.920 --> 0:16:09.240 think Paul's probably fine. But you know Matt, Matt, now 0:16:09.240 --> 0:16:11.840 that he's a big bougie executive, you know, is enjoying 0:16:11.840 --> 0:16:18.640 the spoils of success. And I've seen that. I've seen Daniels, 0:16:18.400 --> 0:16:22.000 I've seen Daniel's Twitter avatar picture. I just don't think 0:16:22.040 --> 0:16:25.960 he's instilling a lot of fear in the opposition. Sorry, Daniel, 0:16:27.240 --> 0:16:30.560 I mean I'm not either. For the record, who just 0:16:30.600 --> 0:16:34.120 said we've met? Oh yeah, I know no, Oh, I 0:16:34.200 --> 0:16:36.840 know that, Daniel. But I'm trying to be relatable for 0:16:36.880 --> 0:16:40.320 the audience as well. No, Daniel, he was at the 0:16:40.960 --> 0:16:45.480 Trinage years ago. Okay, we now still haven't even started 0:16:45.480 --> 0:16:51.200 the show. This is a disaster. Like great subscribe review. Please, 0:16:51.600 --> 0:16:56.960 hopefully everyone's enjoying today's programming. Let's get to the actual 0:16:57.000 --> 0:16:58.120 topics at hand. 0:16:58.360 --> 0:16:59.920 So your chiefs are looking normal again. 0:17:00.120 --> 0:17:02.840 The offense is humming where she Rice is off of 0:17:02.880 --> 0:17:06.440 that six game suspension, Mahomes is saying it's going to 0:17:06.520 --> 0:17:08.840 be hard to keep him off the field. Andy Reid's 0:17:08.840 --> 0:17:10.920 saying that he looks good and he's in shape. Are 0:17:10.920 --> 0:17:13.000 you expecting the Chiefs to kick it into a new 0:17:13.040 --> 0:17:16.639 year with Rashi Rice back? I'm expecting that sixty seventy 0:17:16.680 --> 0:17:18.400 from Holmes in this game. 0:17:19.160 --> 0:17:22.920 Oh you got a little, you got a little. I 0:17:22.960 --> 0:17:24.800 don't have a little taste on four and a half 0:17:24.880 --> 0:17:27.919 or something. I mean, that's that's what that sounded like 0:17:28.000 --> 0:17:30.920 to me. Uh So, here's what I think. I think 0:17:30.960 --> 0:17:33.760 the offense is gonna look excellent. I do want to 0:17:33.800 --> 0:17:37.560 say I don't know what's going on with Josh Simmons. 0:17:38.800 --> 0:17:46.280 It seems to be a serious personal family issue, the 0:17:46.359 --> 0:17:49.680 fact that he left the team abruptly. Andy won't talk 0:17:49.720 --> 0:17:53.119 about it. He referred it to Brett Veach. I I 0:17:53.160 --> 0:17:57.680 have no insight on this, but you know, I would 0:17:57.680 --> 0:18:01.760 not expect him to play this week. Luckily, Jalen Moore 0:18:02.440 --> 0:18:07.440 more than acquitted himself well last week, and I think 0:18:07.480 --> 0:18:10.600 he's fine in the short term. I actually think veteran 0:18:10.720 --> 0:18:16.040 Jalen Moore is probably about as maybe I'm wrong, as 0:18:16.119 --> 0:18:19.880 good as rookie Josh Simmons. Josh Simmons is so exciting 0:18:19.920 --> 0:18:22.840 because as a rookie he's been good and so it's 0:18:22.840 --> 0:18:26.440 about what he's going to be. What I do think 0:18:26.600 --> 0:18:29.120 is the Chiefs are now gonna be able to hit 0:18:29.160 --> 0:18:32.160 every quadrant of the field and Rashi Rice. I think 0:18:32.200 --> 0:18:38.160 people had forgotten what Rashi Rice was doing before he 0:18:38.240 --> 0:18:43.840 got hurt, from the playoffs through the regular season. Once 0:18:43.920 --> 0:18:47.000 he got a hang of it. And I said this 0:18:47.080 --> 0:18:49.320 on the show, I'll say it again, and then I 0:18:49.400 --> 0:18:52.960 want to actually talk about the Lions. I am not 0:18:53.320 --> 0:18:58.120 Rashi Rice is not a conquering hero returning. Okay, Rashie, 0:19:00.640 --> 0:19:02.720 if it was just he blew out his knee and 0:19:02.760 --> 0:19:08.520 he's been out a year, that would feel one way. Instead, listen, 0:19:08.680 --> 0:19:14.240 he is incredibly lucky he didn't end his career that 0:19:14.480 --> 0:19:18.160 day on the Texas Highway, Okay, And he's even luckier 0:19:18.200 --> 0:19:21.280 he didn't end somebody's life. I am not going to 0:19:21.880 --> 0:19:25.960 hold that against him forever moving forward, But I also 0:19:26.040 --> 0:19:30.399 am not going to act like, you know, this is 0:19:31.600 --> 0:19:34.480 a super feel good story, you know what I like. 0:19:34.560 --> 0:19:40.240 So he was very very fortunate that that didn't end 0:19:40.280 --> 0:19:43.520 worse than it did, and he now has to kind 0:19:43.560 --> 0:19:46.560 of earn back everyone's trust. Now that that has been 0:19:46.640 --> 0:19:51.000 said on TV and on the pod repeatedly, I now 0:19:51.080 --> 0:19:55.800 feel comfortable talking about him just the player, and from 0:19:56.640 --> 0:20:03.000 Thanksgiving of his rookie year through when he got hurt, 0:20:03.960 --> 0:20:08.480 he played nine games, not including the playoffs. In those 0:20:08.640 --> 0:20:14.480 nine games was eight seven catches for ninety yards a game, 0:20:15.440 --> 0:20:19.560 and in the playoffs he had another two hundred and 0:20:19.600 --> 0:20:24.679 sixty yards. He's excellent and he's going to play the 0:20:24.760 --> 0:20:31.840 Juju intermediate role. So Travis will have more open spaces, 0:20:32.240 --> 0:20:36.159 Rashi will have more open spaces. Thornton and Xavier taking 0:20:36.200 --> 0:20:39.439 the tops off the defense, and it's I think the 0:20:39.520 --> 0:20:44.879 Chiefs offense is gonna look fantastic. I also, however, want 0:20:44.960 --> 0:20:48.840 to talk about the other side of last week's game 0:20:48.920 --> 0:20:53.960 for a moment, which is the Lions, their media, their fans, 0:20:54.080 --> 0:20:59.439 and most notably their coach and quarterback still as of 0:20:59.640 --> 0:21:06.640 yes yesterday whining about a correct call. I've never seen 0:21:06.680 --> 0:21:11.800 anything like it that. Dan Campbell was still and I 0:21:11.960 --> 0:21:17.640 like Dan Campbell a lot, he was still yesterday complaining 0:21:18.160 --> 0:21:20.840 that they took the Jared Goff touchdown off the board. 0:21:21.240 --> 0:21:25.920 There seems to be some real it's in dispute whether 0:21:26.040 --> 0:21:28.720 or not the refs on the field got help from 0:21:28.760 --> 0:21:31.399 New York or not on it. What there is not 0:21:31.560 --> 0:21:37.840 a dispute on is that that was a penalty. It 0:21:37.920 --> 0:21:43.119 is the Lion's stance seems to be yes, it was 0:21:43.200 --> 0:21:47.520 against the rules, but the refs didn't instantly call it. 0:21:47.920 --> 0:21:53.040 Therefore it being called is unfair and to the point 0:21:53.040 --> 0:21:55.880 to where now I wish they had just gotten it, 0:21:56.359 --> 0:21:59.840 because the Chiefs controlled that game regardless, like it is 0:21:59.880 --> 0:22:06.040 a level of whining that for something that was definitively 0:22:06.320 --> 0:22:09.760 against the rules. That is odd to me. And it's 0:22:09.800 --> 0:22:12.359 not my it's it's no one's fault but your own 0:22:12.840 --> 0:22:17.000 that you didn't know that if Goff is under center 0:22:18.040 --> 0:22:20.600 and goes out for motion, he has to pause for 0:22:20.640 --> 0:22:24.120 a beat, and if he's in shotgun he doesn't. That's 0:22:24.440 --> 0:22:26.640 that's not being as buttoned up as you should have been. 0:22:27.200 --> 0:22:30.920 So it's weird to me with a game demands a 0:22:31.119 --> 0:22:35.720 Monday night against Tampa that if they win it, they 0:22:35.720 --> 0:22:39.919 are effectively back in first place in the conference, and 0:22:39.960 --> 0:22:44.000 if they lose it, they're four and three, having lost 0:22:44.200 --> 0:22:47.120 a head to head tiebreaker to Tampa and already being 0:22:47.119 --> 0:22:49.400 a game down in the head to head with Green Bay. 0:22:50.080 --> 0:22:53.960 It's just weird, all right. I want to go back 0:22:54.000 --> 0:22:56.560 to the Chiefs just for a moment to talk League MVP. 0:22:57.160 --> 0:23:00.840 This segment is presented by our great friends hard Rock. 0:23:00.960 --> 0:23:02.960 Bet all right, go ahead, pal, So. 0:23:03.040 --> 0:23:05.600 Baker has climbed to number two in MVP odds. 0:23:05.880 --> 0:23:09.000 Ahead of him is Mahomes. Those are both of your 0:23:09.119 --> 0:23:11.639 guys that are in the MVP race. We're sponsored by 0:23:11.720 --> 0:23:14.680 hard Rock, so they've created this marker for you. They've 0:23:14.720 --> 0:23:18.160 got a Baker, Mahomes or Baker to win MVP at 0:23:18.200 --> 0:23:21.000 minus one fifty or you could bet the field at 0:23:21.040 --> 0:23:21.920 plus one oh five. 0:23:22.880 --> 0:23:25.520 So here's so shout out to hard Rock on this 0:23:27.000 --> 0:23:30.359 not just making this and this market is currently available 0:23:30.400 --> 0:23:35.720 in Florida, by the way, for making this an either 0:23:36.000 --> 0:23:42.160 or side meaning I don't love when it's just when 0:23:42.320 --> 0:23:46.800 it's one way markets because then you can't tell what 0:23:47.560 --> 0:23:50.680 the fair price is. Does that make like if it's 0:23:50.800 --> 0:23:54.080 just a yes bet or just a no bet, you 0:23:54.119 --> 0:23:57.800 can't you can't get a feel for what the fair 0:23:57.960 --> 0:24:01.360 price is. When it's a two way mark minus one 0:24:01.440 --> 0:24:04.160 fifty and plus one oh five. There's obviously some juice 0:24:04.200 --> 0:24:07.640 in there because they're not the same number. But those aren't. 0:24:07.920 --> 0:24:13.439 It's not minus one fifty and for either or and 0:24:13.480 --> 0:24:17.000 then minus one fifty for no. And I've got to 0:24:17.040 --> 0:24:24.400 tell you, I think Baker or Patrick to be able 0:24:24.400 --> 0:24:28.240 to get either one of them to win MVP at 0:24:28.320 --> 0:24:33.080 only minus one fifty is a pretty solid bet. Now, 0:24:33.640 --> 0:24:37.679 full disclosure, I won't be making it because I already 0:24:37.720 --> 0:24:41.800 have this bet covered. I have Baker in the preseason 0:24:42.600 --> 0:24:45.639 at thirty five to one on hard Rock, and I 0:24:45.680 --> 0:24:49.119 have every year. It's like an annuity. Every year I 0:24:49.160 --> 0:24:51.560 bet Patrick to win MVP, and then every three years 0:24:51.680 --> 0:24:54.959 or so it pays, so so I already have them. 0:24:55.280 --> 0:24:57.280 I have these bets covered. But if you guys remember 0:24:57.320 --> 0:25:01.040 our preseason gambling show, I said, I thought Tampa was 0:25:01.080 --> 0:25:03.200 going to be the one seed, and if Tampa's the 0:25:03.200 --> 0:25:05.360 one seed, Baker's got a real shot at m VP. 0:25:05.600 --> 0:25:08.119 I didn't expect it to be this type of, you know, 0:25:08.520 --> 0:25:12.919 insanely hot start. The reason I like the Baker or 0:25:12.920 --> 0:25:16.439 Patrick piece of it Demon's is so many of the 0:25:16.480 --> 0:25:22.919 preseason favorites are just out. So obviously Joe Burrow is out. 0:25:23.040 --> 0:25:32.240 Literally I think Lamar's out, Like what the agree. Okay, 0:25:32.440 --> 0:25:37.480 I mean I think missing missing two games doesn't knock 0:25:37.560 --> 0:25:40.920 you out, but I just think being one in five, like, look, 0:25:40.960 --> 0:25:44.119 they would have to go They would have to go 0:25:44.280 --> 0:25:51.440 ten and one the rest of the way for Lamar case. Right, Okay, 0:25:51.520 --> 0:25:54.160 So then you look at the other teams that could 0:25:54.200 --> 0:25:58.320 have great records, right, Daniel Jones is not gonna win 0:25:58.400 --> 0:26:02.280 League MVP because a lot of people think Jonathan Taylor's 0:26:02.320 --> 0:26:04.560 been the best player on that team. Dan Jones been excellent, 0:26:04.800 --> 0:26:08.280 But it's just to me, Daniel Jones is not gonna 0:26:08.280 --> 0:26:12.240 be League MVP. But they right now are the one seed, right, Yeah, 0:26:12.520 --> 0:26:17.560 Rogers team only has one loss, he doesn't have the numbers, 0:26:18.040 --> 0:26:20.480 and I don't think he's going to so he's not 0:26:20.560 --> 0:26:26.439 gonna win League MVP. I you go to you know, 0:26:26.840 --> 0:26:33.359 Herbert was a trendy pick. They fell off some. Josh 0:26:33.440 --> 0:26:38.760 Allen is still obviously a viable candidate, but he's had 0:26:38.800 --> 0:26:42.520 some hiccups the last few weeks. Right, you go to 0:26:42.560 --> 0:26:48.280 the NF seat. Jaden's team isn't that good record wise, 0:26:49.119 --> 0:26:51.399 So he is and his number has been fine, but 0:26:51.400 --> 0:26:58.480 he's also miss time. He's gotten uphill battle golf. I 0:26:58.760 --> 0:27:01.720 just I don't see it. Maybe I'm like and also, 0:27:01.800 --> 0:27:04.520 the team's records fine, but you might be like Nick, 0:27:04.560 --> 0:27:07.119 the Chiefs are three and three. No, I understand that, 0:27:07.560 --> 0:27:12.000 But I also feel like Patrick somehow like has a 0:27:12.119 --> 0:27:16.000 narrative momentum going for him with getting Rashiba back. So 0:27:16.240 --> 0:27:24.040 right now, to me, Patrick and Baker, their real competition 0:27:25.320 --> 0:27:28.080 would and I don't think Jordan Loves had some crazy year. 0:27:28.960 --> 0:27:32.400 The real competition demons is Josh and Stafford. 0:27:33.480 --> 0:27:35.880 And if they start winning games. 0:27:36.640 --> 0:27:40.840 No, no chance, nuts, no, no, I mean, Dak's not 0:27:40.920 --> 0:27:44.440 gonna have a better year than Burrow did last year, 0:27:45.160 --> 0:27:48.240 and the Cowboys aren't gonna do better than nine wins 0:27:48.280 --> 0:27:50.520 like Burrow did, and Burrow didn't have a real shot 0:27:50.560 --> 0:27:57.919 at it. Stafford is viable, right, but Puka being banged 0:27:58.000 --> 0:28:02.200 up hurts his chances. Yeah, So I do think Bake 0:28:02.400 --> 0:28:06.919 you're getting basically you get Baker or Patrick at minus 0:28:06.960 --> 0:28:09.880 one fifty. I think that's legit. And if you think 0:28:09.920 --> 0:28:11.920 Baker's gonna fall off and the Chiefs aren't gonna have 0:28:11.960 --> 0:28:14.120 a good enough record, you can just take the other 0:28:14.200 --> 0:28:16.679 side of it at plus money. So that's I think 0:28:16.720 --> 0:28:19.400 that's a sick bet by our friends at hard Rock 0:28:19.400 --> 0:28:20.960 and this show is brought to you by our new 0:28:21.000 --> 0:28:23.960 presenting sponsor, hard Rock Bet.
