24
00:01:33,880 --> 00:01:37,240
Speaker 1: Let's rock and Roll put a bow on the super Bowl,

25
00:01:37,680 --> 00:01:42,880
Speaker 1: Some homes and party thoughts, some overall playoff, overtime, and

26
00:01:43,080 --> 00:01:47,720
Speaker 1: just I think the tactic I would take because let's

27
00:01:47,720 --> 00:01:50,760
Speaker 1: face it, most of us didn't quite see it coming.

28
00:01:51,520 --> 00:01:53,680
Speaker 1: Not overtime we talked about it was stucky that it

29
00:01:53,720 --> 00:01:56,800
Speaker 1: was twelve or thirteen to one, but the actual rules

30
00:01:56,960 --> 00:02:00,560
Speaker 1: which are clearly different. And then just overall thoughts on

31
00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:02,360
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl having clearly a lot of success. One

32
00:02:02,440 --> 00:02:05,240
Speaker 1: hundred and twenty four million people watched it. So we

33
00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:07,960
Speaker 1: will also do a mail bag at John Middlecoff At

34
00:02:08,040 --> 00:02:12,359
Speaker 1: John Middlecoff, it's the Instagram fire in those dms. Here's

35
00:02:12,400 --> 00:02:16,720
Speaker 1: the plan. We h We're gonna do a podcast today.

36
00:02:17,200 --> 00:02:20,240
Speaker 1: I'm gonna do a huge mail bag I think for Wednesday.

37
00:02:21,080 --> 00:02:24,160
Speaker 1: I guess I'll record it Wednesday for Thursday and then

38
00:02:24,240 --> 00:02:27,519
Speaker 1: probably take a couple of days to chill. Just season ended,

39
00:02:27,760 --> 00:02:31,200
Speaker 1: give the people that work on this operation a little

40
00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:36,080
Speaker 1: time as well to just kind of relax for Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday.

41
00:02:36,919 --> 00:02:42,040
Speaker 1: And yeah, so this this podcast will do another podcast tomorrow,

42
00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:46,000
Speaker 1: enormous mail bag. So the game plan will be the

43
00:02:46,040 --> 00:02:49,320
Speaker 1: mail bag. End of to day was like these hidden instagrams.

44
00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:51,800
Speaker 1: It's kind of confusing the way Instagram works. You can't

45
00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:54,680
Speaker 1: really like put it into Excel spreadsheet. But tomorrow I

46
00:02:54,720 --> 00:02:57,360
Speaker 1: will bang out a bunch of questions. That's the plan.

47
00:02:57,720 --> 00:02:59,560
Speaker 1: Three and out. Make sure you subscribe if you listen

48
00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:03,280
Speaker 1: on Colin Feed as well as we got a YouTube channel.

49
00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:07,600
Speaker 1: But first, you guys know the drill. In Vegas, I

50
00:03:07,639 --> 00:03:13,320
Speaker 1: saw Zach Bryan and if you like an elite performer,

51
00:03:13,800 --> 00:03:18,320
Speaker 1: you know he's country folk, little little rocky. I don't

52
00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:22,120
Speaker 1: know how i'd quite describe him, but it is easily

53
00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:25,200
Speaker 1: one of the best performances in a concert I've ever

54
00:03:25,240 --> 00:03:26,959
Speaker 1: been to. And I've been to a lot of concerts.

55
00:03:27,560 --> 00:03:29,200
Speaker 1: I've been to a lot of country concerts, been to

56
00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:33,240
Speaker 1: a lot of rock concerts. He is born to perform

57
00:03:33,360 --> 00:03:34,960
Speaker 1: and if you ever have the chance, I know he's

58
00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:38,720
Speaker 1: going on tour. I cannot recommend it enough. I would

59
00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:43,040
Speaker 1: put my personal stamp of approval, like, for example, if

60
00:03:43,040 --> 00:03:45,400
Speaker 1: you don't like country music, Morgan Wallen or Luke Holms,

61
00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:48,240
Speaker 1: they might not be for you. If you like music,

62
00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:52,640
Speaker 1: I just don't think I could recommend this guy anymore

63
00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:55,960
Speaker 1: because in person. So if you have a chance, download

64
00:03:56,120 --> 00:03:59,760
Speaker 1: game Time, the Game Time app. Check if Zach Bryant's

65
00:03:59,760 --> 00:04:02,840
Speaker 1: come in your way, and if he is, Promo code John,

00:04:02,880 --> 00:04:06,120
Speaker 1: save yourself twenty dollars go to the concert. Why because

67
00:04:06,240 --> 00:04:10,320
Speaker 1: it's freaking awesome. He's He's incredible, and listen. Some people

68
00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:14,480
Speaker 1: are good studio album right, it sounds good, and they're

69
00:04:14,480 --> 00:04:17,039
Speaker 1: not as good in person. And some people are just

70
00:04:17,279 --> 00:04:19,840
Speaker 1: elite in person. Right if you say, like Eddie Vedder

71
00:04:20,080 --> 00:04:23,640
Speaker 1: in person, probably blown away, Whitney Houston. Some people have

72
00:04:23,720 --> 00:04:26,520
Speaker 1: that ability to go from the studio in person they're

73
00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:29,599
Speaker 1: even better. And that's what I would say about Zach Bryant.

74
00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:31,880
Speaker 1: So download that game Time app, the official ticketing app

75
00:04:31,920 --> 00:04:37,120
Speaker 1: of this podcast. Promo code John John twenty dollars off,

76
00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:40,280
Speaker 1: do it do it now, Promo co John twenty dollars off,

77
00:04:40,600 --> 00:04:45,839
Speaker 1: and enjoy yourself some music. Let's start with Patrick Mahomes

78
00:04:46,960 --> 00:04:51,160
Speaker 1: because the key in my opinion and I would say

79
00:04:51,279 --> 00:04:54,599
Speaker 1: history would show us to become an all time great

80
00:04:55,480 --> 00:04:58,599
Speaker 1: is to get things done early, to get a lot

81
00:04:58,640 --> 00:05:02,719
Speaker 1: of things out of the way. And I was looking back. Obviously,

82
00:05:02,760 --> 00:05:05,320
Speaker 1: Brady by a second year, he's winning the Super Bowl.

83
00:05:05,640 --> 00:05:09,040
Speaker 1: Four years in, he's got three. Right. I looked at

84
00:05:09,040 --> 00:05:12,359
Speaker 1: a Tiger Woods by two thousand, when he was twenty

85
00:05:12,360 --> 00:05:15,839
Speaker 1: five years old, he had five majors under his belt,

86
00:05:16,400 --> 00:05:20,520
Speaker 1: a couple of them historically enormous ass kicking a US Open,

87
00:05:20,560 --> 00:05:25,160
Speaker 1: a Masters. Even Michael Jordan by nineteen ninety three, Now

88
00:05:25,240 --> 00:05:28,160
Speaker 1: that was several years into his career, but really by

89
00:05:28,240 --> 00:05:30,640
Speaker 1: nineteen ninety one, and he was drafted in eighty four

90
00:05:31,400 --> 00:05:36,000
Speaker 1: champion MVPs, no debating how good he was, and then

91
00:05:36,040 --> 00:05:38,760
Speaker 1: he just kept rattling him off basketball, I would say

92
00:05:38,839 --> 00:05:42,600
Speaker 1: is a little easier. Like most all time great players

93
00:05:43,440 --> 00:05:48,760
Speaker 1: are guaranteed to win a finals, You'd say history says

94
00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:53,240
Speaker 1: many in football, that's clearly not the case. Right to

95
00:05:53,320 --> 00:05:57,040
Speaker 1: win several championships, Aaron Rodgers were the best players I've

96
00:05:57,040 --> 00:05:59,560
Speaker 1: ever seen. He won one. If it wasn't for Peyton

97
00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:02,800
Speaker 1: Mannings defense in twenty sixteen, he would have ended with one.

98
00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:07,680
Speaker 1: Brett faarr One it is very very Dan Marino, which

99
00:06:07,839 --> 00:06:10,880
Speaker 1: I listen. He's a little before my time. I don't

100
00:06:10,880 --> 00:06:14,039
Speaker 1: remember watching like in the peak of his powers. YouTube

101
00:06:14,080 --> 00:06:17,640
Speaker 1: to me doesn't always do it justice to really try

102
00:06:17,680 --> 00:06:21,360
Speaker 1: to equate, like you speak best as a fan, as

103
00:06:21,400 --> 00:06:24,680
Speaker 1: an evaluator, as anyone that's talking about this when you

104
00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:28,040
Speaker 1: get to watch it. I watched Tom Brady, Aaron Rodgers,

105
00:06:28,520 --> 00:06:33,159
Speaker 1: Brett Farr, Peyton Manning Mahomes their entire Tiger Woods career.

106
00:06:33,240 --> 00:06:35,760
Speaker 1: You feel pretty comfortable talking about it. It's hard to

107
00:06:35,760 --> 00:06:38,039
Speaker 1: put in context, like, well, how good was Terry Bradshaw.

108
00:06:38,320 --> 00:06:40,479
Speaker 1: I don't know, never watched them. I can tell you

109
00:06:40,520 --> 00:06:43,680
Speaker 1: with stats. I think we all agree. Patrick Mahomes, just

110
00:06:43,839 --> 00:06:47,680
Speaker 1: watching him play, whether he had one championship or three championships,

111
00:06:48,080 --> 00:06:50,320
Speaker 1: is an elite talent. We've been saying it about Aaron

112
00:06:50,400 --> 00:06:54,039
Speaker 1: Rodgers forever. Well, when you have the championships takes you

113
00:06:54,040 --> 00:06:56,640
Speaker 1: to a completely different level. But now he's got those

114
00:06:56,640 --> 00:07:00,080
Speaker 1: out of the way, he's done the heavy lifting. If

115
00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:03,719
Speaker 1: his career ended today, never played another game at twenty

116
00:07:03,760 --> 00:07:06,640
Speaker 1: eight or however old he is, he would be an

117
00:07:06,680 --> 00:07:10,000
Speaker 1: automatic first ballot Hall of Famer, and he would be

118
00:07:10,040 --> 00:07:13,760
Speaker 1: the marquee guy in his Hall of Fame class two MVPs,

119
00:07:13,880 --> 00:07:17,080
Speaker 1: three super Bowl MVPs, three Super Bowls, Pro Bowl every

120
00:07:17,160 --> 00:07:21,280
Speaker 1: year he started, three time All Pro. He's and just

121
00:07:21,400 --> 00:07:23,320
Speaker 1: the it test one of the great players we've ever seen.

122
00:07:25,040 --> 00:07:28,880
Speaker 1: Now actually comes the easy part, because once you bang

123
00:07:28,920 --> 00:07:32,760
Speaker 1: out those three, it's obviously very difficult to win in football.

124
00:07:33,160 --> 00:07:36,200
Speaker 1: He is not guaranteed. Like the likelihood when's the last

125
00:07:36,240 --> 00:07:39,560
Speaker 1: time anyone won three straight championships? Right? Hell, two straight

126
00:07:39,640 --> 00:07:42,960
Speaker 1: championships hadn't happened in two decades. So the likelihood of

127
00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:45,760
Speaker 1: the Chiefs winning next year, Hell, I thought this year

128
00:07:45,800 --> 00:07:47,240
Speaker 1: they were going to go lose in the first or

129
00:07:47,240 --> 00:07:50,320
Speaker 1: second round, because that's happened. Sometimes you could go on

130
00:07:50,400 --> 00:07:54,640
Speaker 1: to win four championships, like Joe Montana. He lost several

131
00:07:54,680 --> 00:07:58,040
Speaker 1: times as a home favorite on the road, got beat

132
00:07:58,040 --> 00:07:59,800
Speaker 1: by the Giants, got beat by the Bears, got beat

133
00:07:59,800 --> 00:08:03,520
Speaker 1: by the Redskins. You lose playoff games. There's Brady lost

134
00:08:03,560 --> 00:08:05,800
Speaker 1: a ton of playoff games separate from the Super Bowls

135
00:08:05,840 --> 00:08:08,760
Speaker 1: he lost. And there's a chance Mahomes one day loses

136
00:08:08,880 --> 00:08:13,160
Speaker 1: Super Bowl. But where he has a chance to get

137
00:08:13,400 --> 00:08:16,640
Speaker 1: I do think it is when you look at it,

138
00:08:17,040 --> 00:08:20,680
Speaker 1: very very difficult for him to get to seven. And

139
00:08:20,760 --> 00:08:23,240
Speaker 1: I saw that he said that is the goal. And

140
00:08:23,320 --> 00:08:27,160
Speaker 1: part of the difficulty in that is Tom was one

141
00:08:27,920 --> 00:08:32,240
Speaker 1: gonna have Belichick for a twenty year span, right because

142
00:08:32,480 --> 00:08:35,280
Speaker 1: you know when he met Bill, Bill was like forty

143
00:08:35,320 --> 00:08:39,120
Speaker 1: eight years old. Patrick Mahomes, now six years in does

144
00:08:39,160 --> 00:08:41,280
Speaker 1: have a sixty five year old coach who's gonna be

145
00:08:41,320 --> 00:08:45,000
Speaker 1: sixty six. So even if he coached ten more years,

146
00:08:46,120 --> 00:08:49,560
Speaker 1: you know, Mahomes would still have assuming he's still relatively

147
00:08:49,600 --> 00:08:51,760
Speaker 1: healthy at thirty seven thirty eight years old, still have

148
00:08:51,800 --> 00:08:54,920
Speaker 1: several years left. I mean, Brady won Super Bowls after

149
00:08:54,960 --> 00:08:58,280
Speaker 1: he was thirty seven thirty eight years old. But what

150
00:08:58,320 --> 00:09:03,240
Speaker 1: Patrick has accomplished right now, Wow, is really why you

151
00:09:03,280 --> 00:09:08,160
Speaker 1: watch sports because you never know when someone's gonna come in. Now,

152
00:09:08,200 --> 00:09:14,320
Speaker 1: sometimes at these other sports, these generational players like Tiger

153
00:09:14,360 --> 00:09:19,400
Speaker 1: Woods was such a massive deal the moment he started

154
00:09:19,440 --> 00:09:24,040
Speaker 1: playing professional golf. Lebron James before he was ever drafted

155
00:09:24,040 --> 00:09:27,560
Speaker 1: in the NBA, everyone that followed sports knew his name.

156
00:09:28,040 --> 00:09:29,880
Speaker 1: I feel like I watched them. I remember being in

157
00:09:29,960 --> 00:09:34,640
Speaker 1: my parents' room watching Lebron James play that game at

158
00:09:34,640 --> 00:09:37,880
Speaker 1: Oakill Academy his senior year when he had to cover

159
00:09:37,960 --> 00:09:41,200
Speaker 1: up the tattoos with the tape because of what a

160
00:09:41,200 --> 00:09:44,400
Speaker 1: big deal he was. Hell, even Bryce Harper in high

161
00:09:44,400 --> 00:09:46,800
Speaker 1: school was on the cover of Sports Illustrated, back when

162
00:09:46,840 --> 00:09:51,120
Speaker 1: Sports Illustrated mattered. In football, sometimes it comes out of nowhere.

163
00:09:51,760 --> 00:09:55,840
Speaker 1: Tom Brady six round pick, Patrick Mahomes, Texas Tech. No

164
00:09:55,880 --> 00:10:00,040
Speaker 1: one envisioned this, even Joe Montana third round pick. So

165
00:10:00,240 --> 00:10:01,839
Speaker 1: every once in a while you get a John Lway

166
00:10:02,120 --> 00:10:05,040
Speaker 1: who's just an elite player, goes onto a lead career

167
00:10:05,040 --> 00:10:07,880
Speaker 1: Peyton Manning to Most of them are not in this sport.

168
00:10:07,960 --> 00:10:10,839
Speaker 1: They come out of nowhere at the quarterback position. And

169
00:10:12,480 --> 00:10:15,120
Speaker 1: you know, if you're a Chiefs fan, I don't need

170
00:10:15,160 --> 00:10:16,560
Speaker 1: to tell you it doesn't get any better than this.

171
00:10:17,200 --> 00:10:20,440
Speaker 1: But you have a guy that already did the hardest part.

172
00:10:21,440 --> 00:10:24,040
Speaker 1: Now he gets to just kind of freewheel, and everything

173
00:10:24,080 --> 00:10:28,000
Speaker 1: he adds to that resume just puts him higher and higher.

174
00:10:28,160 --> 00:10:31,839
Speaker 1: And on the flip side, the reason I am so

175
00:10:32,040 --> 00:10:36,240
Speaker 1: bullish on brock Purdy is because he makes a million dollars.

176
00:10:36,760 --> 00:10:40,400
Speaker 1: If we were having the conversation of brock Purty relative

177
00:10:40,440 --> 00:10:43,360
Speaker 1: to Mahomes and Alan and Lamar and talking about a

178
00:10:43,400 --> 00:10:46,679
Speaker 1: forty forty five to fifty million dollar player, the expectation

179
00:10:46,800 --> 00:10:50,000
Speaker 1: would be much higher. We would need more out of it.

180
00:10:50,559 --> 00:10:53,600
Speaker 1: I would feel much stronger to be critical of things

181
00:10:53,600 --> 00:10:57,000
Speaker 1: that happen on the field. But right now he's making nothing.

182
00:10:57,880 --> 00:11:01,280
Speaker 1: It's why the pressure on this team, including his coach.

183
00:11:01,280 --> 00:11:03,199
Speaker 1: And I watched some of the press conference today with

184
00:11:03,280 --> 00:11:06,960
Speaker 1: Kyle Shanahan. Look like he saw a ghost. I mean

185
00:11:07,280 --> 00:11:10,840
Speaker 1: he had that look of his dogs were just murdered.

186
00:11:10,880 --> 00:11:13,440
Speaker 1: And that's what happens, as he said, when you lose

187
00:11:13,480 --> 00:11:18,040
Speaker 1: a Super Bowl in overtime. But this team next year,

188
00:11:18,679 --> 00:11:22,880
Speaker 1: with their cap flexibility because of their quarterback making nothing,

189
00:11:23,760 --> 00:11:26,559
Speaker 1: if he's gonna throw you thirty plus touchdowns and be

190
00:11:26,640 --> 00:11:28,840
Speaker 1: the quarterback on one of the best teams in the NFL,

191
00:11:29,200 --> 00:11:32,720
Speaker 1: he's easily the best contract in the league. I said

192
00:11:32,720 --> 00:11:36,120
Speaker 1: it earlier this year, mister Bisky making eight million dollars

193
00:11:36,320 --> 00:11:38,160
Speaker 1: when he's your third string quarterback, you could argue the

194
00:11:38,160 --> 00:11:40,080
Speaker 1: worst contract in the league. What if the Steelers just

195
00:11:40,080 --> 00:11:42,800
Speaker 1: do they cut him, get out of here, and that's

196
00:11:42,880 --> 00:11:45,840
Speaker 1: on them. But when you have this brock Perty situation,

197
00:11:46,880 --> 00:11:50,000
Speaker 1: the pressure is mounted next year because if he goes

198
00:11:50,040 --> 00:11:54,280
Speaker 1: on to have another statistical good season, thirty thirty five touchdowns,

199
00:11:54,440 --> 00:11:57,840
Speaker 1: your team successful, but instead of making a long run

200
00:11:57,880 --> 00:12:02,079
Speaker 1: in the playoffs, you losing the first Then it hurts

201
00:12:02,520 --> 00:12:04,719
Speaker 1: why because it's time for his agent and him to

202
00:12:04,720 --> 00:12:07,920
Speaker 1: get paid and they will be ready to negotiate. And

203
00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:11,319
Speaker 1: let's face it, the problem with these quarterback contracts there

204
00:12:11,400 --> 00:12:14,960
Speaker 1: is no middle ground. You're either a bridge quarterback or

205
00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:19,079
Speaker 1: you're a max quarterback, fair or not. There's no like, well,

206
00:12:19,200 --> 00:12:21,760
Speaker 1: we'd give this guy thirty two million dollars instead of

207
00:12:21,760 --> 00:12:24,880
Speaker 1: forty eight million dollars. Look at all these quarterback contracts

208
00:12:24,920 --> 00:12:27,880
Speaker 1: that happen. None of them happen that way with guys

209
00:12:27,920 --> 00:12:31,240
Speaker 1: with statistics and with success on the field. From a

210
00:12:31,280 --> 00:12:35,839
Speaker 1: team aspect, Jalen Hurts one huge year immediately, one hundred

211
00:12:35,840 --> 00:12:38,120
Speaker 1: and seventy hundred and eighty million dollars guaranteed. I would

212
00:12:38,160 --> 00:12:42,120
Speaker 1: not feel comfortable giving brought party that type money right now,

213
00:12:42,320 --> 00:12:45,600
Speaker 1: could not do it. But the simple reality is if

214
00:12:45,640 --> 00:12:49,760
Speaker 1: he has another similar, another season similar to this, and

215
00:12:49,840 --> 00:12:53,600
Speaker 1: his team has success, that is the going great, which

216
00:12:53,640 --> 00:12:56,920
Speaker 1: then we can get critical and start discussing how much

217
00:12:56,960 --> 00:12:59,319
Speaker 1: he's worth how much he's not worth. But right now,

218
00:12:59,360 --> 00:13:01,560
Speaker 1: you don't have to worry about that. You get this

219
00:13:01,600 --> 00:13:05,640
Speaker 1: guy making a little over nine hundred thousand dollars next season.

220
00:13:07,280 --> 00:13:09,360
Speaker 1: You gotta take advantage of it and the pressure on

221
00:13:09,360 --> 00:13:11,840
Speaker 1: this forty nine er team. And this is why it

222
00:13:11,920 --> 00:13:16,360
Speaker 1: hurts so much losing that Super Bowl is because this

223
00:13:16,440 --> 00:13:18,920
Speaker 1: might have been their best shot, and next year, you know,

224
00:13:18,960 --> 00:13:21,240
Speaker 1: you never know with health, is going to be their

225
00:13:21,320 --> 00:13:27,559
Speaker 1: last shot, more than likely with a quarterback making nothing.

226
00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:31,439
Speaker 1: I've had a lot of time to think about the

227
00:13:31,480 --> 00:13:35,120
Speaker 1: overtime rule because I do think it was confusing. Let's

228
00:13:35,120 --> 00:13:37,640
Speaker 1: face it, Tony Romo didn't know what was going on.

229
00:13:38,040 --> 00:13:40,200
Speaker 1: He's like, guys, this is like the end of the

230
00:13:40,240 --> 00:13:43,160
Speaker 1: first quarter. Even Maria looks at me, like whether there's

231
00:13:43,160 --> 00:13:46,760
Speaker 1: a whole nother game? Like what? Everyone was confused. Players

232
00:13:46,760 --> 00:13:49,280
Speaker 1: didn't know the game was ending. It was a little

233
00:13:49,320 --> 00:13:52,240
Speaker 1: confusing part of it. We've never done it before, we

234
00:13:52,320 --> 00:13:55,240
Speaker 1: had never been through it. But when you're broadcaster that's

235
00:13:55,240 --> 00:13:57,920
Speaker 1: making sixteen seventeen million dollars, He's like, you know, you

236
00:13:57,920 --> 00:14:01,160
Speaker 1: don't need to waste time outs. It's like a full game. No, Tony,

237
00:14:01,360 --> 00:14:05,680
Speaker 1: you get three fucking timeouts at minimum, or there could

238
00:14:05,720 --> 00:14:07,680
Speaker 1: be only two possessions. If you need to use a

239
00:14:07,720 --> 00:14:09,640
Speaker 1: timeout on your first drive, you use timeout on your

240
00:14:09,640 --> 00:14:13,840
Speaker 1: first drive. But I was thinking about the math. I

241
00:14:13,880 --> 00:14:17,120
Speaker 1: think if you're gonna take the ball first, I think

242
00:14:17,160 --> 00:14:20,040
Speaker 1: you're going for two no matter what. Because if you're

243
00:14:20,080 --> 00:14:24,200
Speaker 1: in a playoff overtime, that means you've played seventeen games

244
00:14:24,880 --> 00:14:26,840
Speaker 1: and had training camp for a month and a half,

245
00:14:27,680 --> 00:14:32,320
Speaker 1: So you're this isn't a regular overtime. Regular overtime week two,

246
00:14:32,760 --> 00:14:35,560
Speaker 1: your team has more juice, you have more energy, you

247
00:14:35,560 --> 00:14:37,880
Speaker 1: have less injuries, you have less guys playing on a

248
00:14:37,920 --> 00:14:41,360
Speaker 1: torn meniscus or a fucked up shoulder, or just who

249
00:14:41,400 --> 00:14:43,840
Speaker 1: got hurt in that given game, or depending on an

250
00:14:43,840 --> 00:14:47,800
Speaker 1: opponent in the overtime in a playoff game or the

251
00:14:47,840 --> 00:14:50,440
Speaker 1: Super Bowl, if you're gonna take the ball first, I'm

252
00:14:50,440 --> 00:14:53,720
Speaker 1: okay with that. That that doesn't even bother me. But

253
00:14:53,760 --> 00:14:56,400
Speaker 1: you're playing for touchdown nothing else. You are not playing

254
00:14:56,400 --> 00:14:59,400
Speaker 1: for a field goal. The only time to meet that

255
00:14:59,440 --> 00:15:01,960
Speaker 1: would justify kicking a field goal. If you were like

256
00:15:02,040 --> 00:15:04,800
Speaker 1: fourth and fifteen on like the forty yard line, it's like, okay,

257
00:15:04,840 --> 00:15:06,920
Speaker 1: I would just take the points and play some defense.

258
00:15:08,600 --> 00:15:10,920
Speaker 1: But in this situation, when you got down to like

259
00:15:10,960 --> 00:15:14,640
Speaker 1: the five yard line. It should have been two down

260
00:15:14,720 --> 00:15:17,800
Speaker 1: territory because you have to assume, like, not only are

261
00:15:17,840 --> 00:15:20,920
Speaker 1: they gonna try to play for a touchdown, they're gonna

262
00:15:20,920 --> 00:15:25,120
Speaker 1: play they're gonna try to score the extra point. So

263
00:15:25,960 --> 00:15:29,280
Speaker 1: to me, the issue looking back on Kyle Shannan, when

264
00:15:29,280 --> 00:15:32,520
Speaker 1: you're playing Andy Reid and Patrick Mahomes, they're gonna try

265
00:15:32,560 --> 00:15:35,600
Speaker 1: to end the game. You could argue, not only is

266
00:15:35,600 --> 00:15:37,880
Speaker 1: it if you get the ball first, are you trying

267
00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:40,040
Speaker 1: are you scoring a touchdown? Especially once you get to

268
00:15:40,040 --> 00:15:42,560
Speaker 1: the red zone, you're one hundred percent going for two.

269
00:15:43,880 --> 00:15:47,000
Speaker 1: You're putting all the pressure on them, and I think

270
00:15:47,040 --> 00:15:49,880
Speaker 1: that is the biggest mistake that the forty nine ers made.

271
00:15:50,400 --> 00:15:55,600
Speaker 1: Kyle claims the analytical department told him to try to

272
00:15:55,680 --> 00:15:58,920
Speaker 1: play for the third possession, right, you kick a field goal,

273
00:15:58,960 --> 00:16:00,800
Speaker 1: you hold them to a field goal, then you get

274
00:16:00,800 --> 00:16:04,160
Speaker 1: the ball in sudden death. I'm no math major, I

275
00:16:04,200 --> 00:16:06,520
Speaker 1: didn't go to Harvard, but that's the dumbest fucking thing

276
00:16:06,560 --> 00:16:09,280
Speaker 1: I've ever heard of. Do we need to examine if

277
00:16:09,280 --> 00:16:12,720
Speaker 1: these guys know what they're talking about. Now it's hard

278
00:16:12,720 --> 00:16:17,680
Speaker 1: to even understand if Kyle, I think they underprepared for

279
00:16:17,680 --> 00:16:21,040
Speaker 1: this moment a little bit, which, in fairness, the chances

280
00:16:21,040 --> 00:16:22,960
Speaker 1: of going to overtime in a playoff game, I would

281
00:16:22,960 --> 00:16:26,800
Speaker 1: say historically are pretty low. But part of his job

282
00:16:26,880 --> 00:16:30,400
Speaker 1: is preparing for every situation. I think the biggest issue,

283
00:16:30,440 --> 00:16:32,440
Speaker 1: if you had really thought long and hard about it,

284
00:16:33,240 --> 00:16:35,320
Speaker 1: you would have to assume, one, in a playoff game,

285
00:16:35,360 --> 00:16:38,440
Speaker 1: you're probably playing a really good offense, and two, given

286
00:16:38,480 --> 00:16:41,160
Speaker 1: that specific opponent, one hundred percent, they're going to try

287
00:16:41,160 --> 00:16:43,440
Speaker 1: to score a touchdown and go for two. So shouldn't

288
00:16:43,480 --> 00:16:46,320
Speaker 1: we do that? And the forty nine ers acted like

289
00:16:46,840 --> 00:16:50,080
Speaker 1: Week four was third quarter, and I think that's what

290
00:16:50,200 --> 00:16:52,960
Speaker 1: really bit him in the ass. Obviously, this overtime thing

291
00:16:53,760 --> 00:16:57,280
Speaker 1: is complicated. A lot of people were confused. The broadcasters

292
00:16:57,280 --> 00:17:01,200
Speaker 1: were confused, players were confused. The dude on the Chiefs

293
00:17:01,280 --> 00:17:03,040
Speaker 1: didn't even know they had won the game. There's a

294
00:17:03,040 --> 00:17:07,480
Speaker 1: lot going on. This is brand new. But I think

295
00:17:07,520 --> 00:17:10,719
Speaker 1: when you really logically think about it, if you accept

296
00:17:10,720 --> 00:17:13,879
Speaker 1: the ball first in overtime, which depending on the variables

297
00:17:13,920 --> 00:17:17,080
Speaker 1: in the game, is understandable. Maybe your defense is gassed,

298
00:17:17,840 --> 00:17:20,000
Speaker 1: maybe you have a quarterback who's rolling. You want to

299
00:17:20,080 --> 00:17:23,560
Speaker 1: keep the momentum going. I don't think that's a black

300
00:17:23,560 --> 00:17:26,840
Speaker 1: and white decision. I do think the black and white decision, though,

301
00:17:26,880 --> 00:17:30,399
Speaker 1: is if you take it in playoff overtime, you not

302
00:17:30,480 --> 00:17:34,200
Speaker 1: only are a touchdown or bust you take you're going

303
00:17:34,240 --> 00:17:38,199
Speaker 1: for the two point conversion. The other report that one

304
00:17:38,280 --> 00:17:39,920
Speaker 1: hundred and twenty plus million. I think it was like

305
00:17:39,960 --> 00:17:42,320
Speaker 1: almost one hundred and twenty four million people watch the

306
00:17:42,320 --> 00:17:46,240
Speaker 1: Super Bowl, And you know, I think this game is

307
00:17:46,240 --> 00:17:48,800
Speaker 1: going to get bigger and bigger for the foreseeable future.

308
00:17:49,280 --> 00:17:52,119
Speaker 1: I've said for a while, I'm old enough to have

309
00:17:52,240 --> 00:17:56,280
Speaker 1: seen sports come and go, so I'm not you know,

310
00:17:56,560 --> 00:18:00,080
Speaker 1: a palm palm waiver acting like the NFL is bulletproof

311
00:18:00,640 --> 00:18:03,320
Speaker 1: and it'll never I don't want to say go under,

312
00:18:03,440 --> 00:18:06,800
Speaker 1: but lose its juice. I've seen baseball lose its juice.

313
00:18:07,359 --> 00:18:11,439
Speaker 1: We're seeing basketball loses juice. It happens things EBB and

314
00:18:11,480 --> 00:18:14,639
Speaker 1: flow boxing used to be big. Now it's kind of irrelevant.

315
00:18:14,640 --> 00:18:17,959
Speaker 1: In UFC's big, right. I've seen golf with Tiger Woods

316
00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:20,480
Speaker 1: become huge and then he disappears, and now it's splintered,

317
00:18:20,480 --> 00:18:22,920
Speaker 1: and you know, it's not as popular as it once

318
00:18:23,080 --> 00:18:26,960
Speaker 1: was from a television product. Things change. But the one

319
00:18:27,000 --> 00:18:31,040
Speaker 1: thing football really has going for him? Is they easily?

320
00:18:31,160 --> 00:18:34,359
Speaker 1: And it's not clearly. They have the biggest game in

321
00:18:34,400 --> 00:18:39,239
Speaker 1: America by a country mile in the Super Bowl. Well,

322
00:18:39,280 --> 00:18:41,480
Speaker 1: if you're gonna casually come to the Super Bowl, which

323
00:18:41,520 --> 00:18:45,959
Speaker 1: a lot of people do, think about how the sport

324
00:18:46,119 --> 00:18:47,960
Speaker 1: grows over the course of the season. I'm going to

325
00:18:48,000 --> 00:18:49,800
Speaker 1: go to the Combine a couple weeks planning on doing

326
00:18:49,840 --> 00:18:53,320
Speaker 1: a bunch of content there having a good time. If

327
00:18:53,359 --> 00:18:57,280
Speaker 1: you follow the combine, even free agency, even the draft,

328
00:18:58,320 --> 00:19:01,359
Speaker 1: and up through training camp, like you're kind of a junkie,

329
00:19:01,600 --> 00:19:03,600
Speaker 1: You're what in the radio days we used to call

330
00:19:03,640 --> 00:19:07,760
Speaker 1: a p one, you're a very loyal consumer. That is

331
00:19:07,840 --> 00:19:11,240
Speaker 1: not the majority, right, the amount of people paying attention

332
00:19:11,320 --> 00:19:14,880
Speaker 1: to the NFL Combine that will watch week one Thursday

333
00:19:14,960 --> 00:19:19,960
Speaker 1: Night Chiefs versus you know, the Chargers is there's a

334
00:19:20,000 --> 00:19:24,480
Speaker 1: wide gap. But think how the season goes right. Football

335
00:19:24,520 --> 00:19:26,720
Speaker 1: is a big deal. A lot of people watch in

336
00:19:26,760 --> 00:19:30,560
Speaker 1: September and October, but the moment we get past Halloween

337
00:19:30,760 --> 00:19:35,280
Speaker 1: up to Thanksgiving, those ratings on Thanksgiving do enormous numbers.

338
00:19:35,840 --> 00:19:39,520
Speaker 1: Through there we go into the holidays of Christmas and

339
00:19:39,640 --> 00:19:43,280
Speaker 1: New Year's those games do massive numbers. So you kind

340
00:19:43,320 --> 00:19:47,359
Speaker 1: of have this snowball effect through the holidays into the

341
00:19:47,359 --> 00:19:51,479
Speaker 1: playoffs that start doing thirty forty fifty million people watching.

342
00:19:52,040 --> 00:19:55,400
Speaker 1: It's like this gradual build up to the Grand finale.

343
00:19:56,320 --> 00:19:59,440
Speaker 1: And these other sports don't have that cause in baseball,

344
00:19:59,480 --> 00:20:02,000
Speaker 1: I can't get guarantee a Game seven in the World Series,

345
00:20:02,240 --> 00:20:04,560
Speaker 1: and even if I could, it takes so long to

346
00:20:04,600 --> 00:20:09,040
Speaker 1: get there it's hard to fall. I could speak being

347
00:20:09,080 --> 00:20:12,240
Speaker 1: a fan. I don't watch that many baseball games anymore.

348
00:20:12,240 --> 00:20:15,760
Speaker 1: Why they're not that important an individual game. Though I

349
00:20:15,800 --> 00:20:19,399
Speaker 1: really like baseball. I'm probably a rare millennial that follows

350
00:20:19,440 --> 00:20:23,280
Speaker 1: as sport relative, you know, pretty closely, Basketball I no longer.

351
00:20:23,480 --> 00:20:27,359
Speaker 1: I probably have watched a total of ten quarters of

352
00:20:27,359 --> 00:20:30,800
Speaker 1: basketball so far this season. Why because nothing really has

353
00:20:30,840 --> 00:20:34,359
Speaker 1: mattered yet. And part of it is you need more

354
00:20:34,400 --> 00:20:37,879
Speaker 1: people to kind of jump on the bandwagon as things

355
00:20:37,920 --> 00:20:42,119
Speaker 1: go on. Now, the thing that basketball and baseball battle

356
00:20:42,160 --> 00:20:47,920
Speaker 1: with is the amount of inventory. It doesn't feel important. Football,

357
00:20:47,920 --> 00:20:50,840
Speaker 1: I've said this forever, just has this natural built in

358
00:20:51,080 --> 00:20:53,880
Speaker 1: the way the sport is set up. You don't need

359
00:20:53,880 --> 00:20:57,520
Speaker 1: to pay attention Saturday through Monday through Saturday. You just

360
00:20:57,640 --> 00:21:01,040
Speaker 1: kind of show up on Sunday, when ninety percent of

361
00:21:01,080 --> 00:21:04,840
Speaker 1: people are not working anyway, you're literally at home where

362
00:21:04,880 --> 00:21:06,680
Speaker 1: these others, you know, it might be taking a kid here,

363
00:21:06,800 --> 00:21:09,480
Speaker 1: might be doing parent teacher conference there, your wife might

364
00:21:09,520 --> 00:21:11,760
Speaker 1: want to watch a movie. You might be exhausted and

365
00:21:11,800 --> 00:21:14,639
Speaker 1: fall asleep early. The other sports, it's easy to just

366
00:21:14,760 --> 00:21:22,080
Speaker 1: circumvent them. It's borderline impossible to circumvent football. And I

367
00:21:22,119 --> 00:21:25,879
Speaker 1: remember going to watch parties with my friends when I

368
00:21:25,960 --> 00:21:28,520
Speaker 1: was in junior high. So I'm not trying to act

369
00:21:28,560 --> 00:21:30,639
Speaker 1: like the Super Bowls all of a sudden become a

370
00:21:30,640 --> 00:21:34,160
Speaker 1: big deal, but it's gone into a different stratosphere. I've

371
00:21:34,160 --> 00:21:36,720
Speaker 1: been going to. I went to the Niner Super Bowl,

372
00:21:37,400 --> 00:21:39,840
Speaker 1: you know, when they hosted in sixteen. I went to

373
00:21:39,880 --> 00:21:43,200
Speaker 1: the Miami Super Bowl in twenty, and then I went

374
00:21:43,200 --> 00:21:45,280
Speaker 1: to this one. And I'm just talking about super Bowl Week,

375
00:21:46,080 --> 00:21:49,440
Speaker 1: and they feel dramatically bigger now. And it's why I'm

376
00:21:49,480 --> 00:21:53,000
Speaker 1: saying that I think Vegas just belongs in the rotation.

377
00:21:54,000 --> 00:21:58,199
Speaker 1: But football, for at least this next decade feels like

378
00:21:58,240 --> 00:22:01,600
Speaker 1: they have a stranglehold hold on the mare. The benefits

379
00:22:01,640 --> 00:22:07,479
Speaker 1: of obviously fantasy, the increasing interest in gambling is something

380
00:22:07,520 --> 00:22:10,440
Speaker 1: that they benefit from at a much higher level than

381
00:22:10,440 --> 00:22:14,080
Speaker 1: these other sports. No one's betting in the middle of June.

382
00:22:14,600 --> 00:22:17,720
Speaker 1: What starter is going to go five innings? It just

383
00:22:17,760 --> 00:22:21,439
Speaker 1: doesn't happen. But people gamble on football and having college

384
00:22:21,440 --> 00:22:25,280
Speaker 1: football and now this huge build up, this natural kind

385
00:22:25,320 --> 00:22:30,280
Speaker 1: of ebb and flow to this game, which is the

386
00:22:30,280 --> 00:22:33,320
Speaker 1: biggest thing right now in America. But nothing else can

387
00:22:33,359 --> 00:22:35,800
Speaker 1: get one hundred and twenty million people to sit on

388
00:22:35,840 --> 00:22:38,600
Speaker 1: a couch and turn on the television all at one time.

389
00:22:39,400 --> 00:22:46,960
Speaker 1: And Roger Goodell in the NFL have that. Okay, it's

390
00:22:46,960 --> 00:22:50,720
Speaker 1: that time again. A little middle Cough mail bag. Here's

391
00:22:50,760 --> 00:22:54,040
Speaker 1: the plan. I'm gonna do a huge mail bag I

392
00:22:54,040 --> 00:22:57,480
Speaker 1: think on Wednesday, and then probably just take a couple

393
00:22:57,520 --> 00:23:01,080
Speaker 1: of days to breathe. Obviously, people work on the show.

394
00:23:01,520 --> 00:23:04,320
Speaker 1: Been a long season. So if you listen to this

395
00:23:04,359 --> 00:23:07,520
Speaker 1: part of the mail bag, We're gonna have another massive

396
00:23:07,600 --> 00:23:11,760
Speaker 1: mail bag on Wednesday, and I will attempt to get

397
00:23:11,800 --> 00:23:14,800
Speaker 1: to a lot of questions. But today I'm gonna try

398
00:23:14,800 --> 00:23:16,560
Speaker 1: to bang out these ones that are technically in the

399
00:23:16,640 --> 00:23:20,119
Speaker 1: hidden request of at John Middlecoff is my Instagram. The

400
00:23:20,119 --> 00:23:22,800
Speaker 1: way Instagram works, there's these dms and then there's these

401
00:23:22,800 --> 00:23:25,720
Speaker 1: like other dms, and then there's these hidden dms. A

402
00:23:25,720 --> 00:23:29,320
Speaker 1: lot of time Instagram thinks it's spam, but and sometimes

403
00:23:29,320 --> 00:23:32,080
Speaker 1: it is, it's like porn. But other times it's just

404
00:23:32,240 --> 00:23:34,320
Speaker 1: your questions that get kind of lost in the shuffle.

405
00:23:34,359 --> 00:23:36,000
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna try to bang out some of these

406
00:23:36,520 --> 00:23:41,280
Speaker 1: right now. Start with Daniel Love the Pod. Been a

407
00:23:41,359 --> 00:23:44,959
Speaker 1: Chiefe fan since I was five. I'm thirty one. Well

408
00:23:45,760 --> 00:23:48,480
Speaker 1: enjoy it, bro. It's still insane to me that we

409
00:23:48,520 --> 00:23:52,320
Speaker 1: won the Super Bowl without a true number one wide receiver.

410
00:23:53,200 --> 00:23:56,720
Speaker 1: My question is this offseason, who do you think the

411
00:23:56,800 --> 00:24:00,840
Speaker 1: Chiefs will be looking at? And follow up would do

412
00:24:00,920 --> 00:24:02,960
Speaker 1: you think players will now want to play for the

413
00:24:03,000 --> 00:24:06,159
Speaker 1: Chiefs to start to ring Chase. My want is to

414
00:24:06,280 --> 00:24:09,639
Speaker 1: want to Adams. But curious what your thoughts are and

415
00:24:09,680 --> 00:24:13,800
Speaker 1: thanks for reading it. I think I went on Doug

416
00:24:13,800 --> 00:24:18,240
Speaker 1: Gottlieb Show today and we talked about, you know, this offseason,

417
00:24:18,280 --> 00:24:21,320
Speaker 1: this is the worst offense the Chiefs will be now

418
00:24:21,359 --> 00:24:25,160
Speaker 1: their defense, this might be the best defense they ever have. Right,

419
00:24:25,359 --> 00:24:28,040
Speaker 1: there's no guarantee Chris Jones is gonna come back. Saw

420
00:24:28,080 --> 00:24:31,239
Speaker 1: that Andy Reid, you know, kind of just said, hey,

421
00:24:31,440 --> 00:24:34,120
Speaker 1: something you got to work out and time will tell

422
00:24:34,240 --> 00:24:36,879
Speaker 1: I haven't looked at the free agent market, but I

423
00:24:36,920 --> 00:24:38,919
Speaker 1: know Mike Evans is a free agent. I think he

424
00:24:38,960 --> 00:24:42,880
Speaker 1: would be a guy. Definitely they're going to become if

425
00:24:42,880 --> 00:24:46,720
Speaker 1: they already haven't. Less of these guys. It feels like exists.

426
00:24:47,359 --> 00:24:50,359
Speaker 1: But one thing the Patriots used to take advantage of

427
00:24:51,080 --> 00:24:53,600
Speaker 1: is they would get these guys to sign cheap contracts.

428
00:24:55,080 --> 00:24:57,399
Speaker 1: I think you could argue this team is even more

429
00:24:57,480 --> 00:25:02,760
Speaker 1: desirable than the Patriots, given their coach isn't some crazy asshole,

430
00:25:03,160 --> 00:25:06,920
Speaker 1: and that sounds bad for Belichick obviously. I think Bill

431
00:25:06,920 --> 00:25:10,040
Speaker 1: Belichick's the best coach I've ever seen, but he's not

432
00:25:10,119 --> 00:25:12,879
Speaker 1: easy to play for now. It's not like Andy Reid's

433
00:25:12,920 --> 00:25:16,440
Speaker 1: some country club. He's just an easier personality on a

434
00:25:16,520 --> 00:25:19,800
Speaker 1: daily basis. So I would say that Andy Reid is

435
00:25:19,840 --> 00:25:24,119
Speaker 1: a huge positive, and Mahomes no different than Brady, is

436
00:25:24,160 --> 00:25:27,439
Speaker 1: a big positive as well. So I think any big

437
00:25:27,560 --> 00:25:32,240
Speaker 1: name impact player that may be a little older that

438
00:25:32,920 --> 00:25:35,359
Speaker 1: you could sign with some crappy team for ten million,

439
00:25:35,760 --> 00:25:39,440
Speaker 1: maybe signs with them for six. Remember several years ago

440
00:25:39,440 --> 00:25:42,080
Speaker 1: when JJ Watt ended up going to the Cardinals. A

441
00:25:42,119 --> 00:25:46,320
Speaker 1: guy like that, players in that mold, in that under

442
00:25:46,320 --> 00:25:51,720
Speaker 1: that kind of umbrella. So sometimes as a sports fan,

443
00:25:52,520 --> 00:25:56,360
Speaker 1: your entire life sucks, right, It's just you never get

444
00:25:56,400 --> 00:25:58,560
Speaker 1: over the hump. You're just a fan of a team

445
00:25:58,600 --> 00:26:02,600
Speaker 1: that can never win, that just has heartbreaks, that never

446
00:26:02,640 --> 00:26:05,359
Speaker 1: wins a title. And then sometimes you're just like a

447
00:26:05,359 --> 00:26:09,159
Speaker 1: Warriors fan who's twenty five in twenty fourteen and you

448
00:26:09,280 --> 00:26:12,200
Speaker 1: just witness four championships in a decade. You're a Chiefs

449
00:26:12,240 --> 00:26:14,720
Speaker 1: fan who you said you're thirty one six years ago,

450
00:26:14,880 --> 00:26:19,400
Speaker 1: you are twenty five years old. Patrick Mahomes comes into

451
00:26:19,400 --> 00:26:21,920
Speaker 1: your life. Your life's never the same as a sportsman,

452
00:26:22,080 --> 00:26:25,760
Speaker 1: You'll never look at football the same. You never will.

453
00:26:26,040 --> 00:26:28,520
Speaker 1: Just like a Patriot fan, there's a decent chance the Patriots,

454
00:26:28,640 --> 00:26:33,520
Speaker 1: I'll be forty this year, the next forty years never

455
00:26:33,560 --> 00:26:37,040
Speaker 1: win another title. Yet anyone my age will be like,

456
00:26:37,560 --> 00:26:39,880
Speaker 1: We'll talk about that twenty year run for the rest

457
00:26:39,880 --> 00:26:44,800
Speaker 1: of their life. Love the shows. My question is this

458
00:26:45,800 --> 00:26:48,439
Speaker 1: was Shanahan's fate with the Niners sealed the moment he

459
00:26:48,520 --> 00:26:53,720
Speaker 1: decided to not steer seriously study draft eligible quarterbacks because

460
00:26:53,720 --> 00:26:59,560
Speaker 1: he was just gonna get Kirk Cousins. No, Kyle Shanahan

461
00:26:59,600 --> 00:27:03,040
Speaker 1: has got three extensions or excuse me, an original contract

462
00:27:03,119 --> 00:27:06,040
Speaker 1: six years, an extension after the Super Bowl, and then

463
00:27:06,040 --> 00:27:09,200
Speaker 1: I think he got an extension last year. So Kyle

464
00:27:09,200 --> 00:27:13,240
Speaker 1: Shanan's won eight playoff games is I would say his career.

465
00:27:13,280 --> 00:27:16,120
Speaker 1: This is where I pushed back on all the negativity

466
00:27:16,160 --> 00:27:19,600
Speaker 1: and listen Kyle as someone that roots for them to win,

467
00:27:19,800 --> 00:27:22,359
Speaker 1: gambles on them can drive you nuts for being a

468
00:27:22,359 --> 00:27:24,960
Speaker 1: great coach. Andy, I think would tell you I probably

469
00:27:25,000 --> 00:27:27,040
Speaker 1: drew some people nuts back in the day too, so

470
00:27:27,080 --> 00:27:30,399
Speaker 1: it's part of being a coach. But they was definitely

471
00:27:30,440 --> 00:27:34,480
Speaker 1: not sealed. He's been to multiple Super Bowls? Now, would

472
00:27:34,480 --> 00:27:36,560
Speaker 1: they rather have Patrick Mahomes if they could redo it all?

473
00:27:38,000 --> 00:27:40,199
Speaker 1: But I think you could play this game over and

474
00:27:40,359 --> 00:27:43,600
Speaker 1: over and over again. Of would it could have? Should

475
00:27:43,680 --> 00:27:51,119
Speaker 1: us think about this? Andy Reid in two thousand and eleven? Whatever?

476
00:27:51,200 --> 00:27:55,359
Speaker 1: Russell twelve, maybe whenever Russell Wilson's rookie year. Loved Russell

477
00:27:55,400 --> 00:27:59,520
Speaker 1: Wilson was waiting until the third round. What if he

478
00:27:59,520 --> 00:28:02,080
Speaker 1: had just pulled trigger in the second round? Would he

479
00:28:02,119 --> 00:28:07,600
Speaker 1: still be in Philadelphia? Yeah? You could play that game

480
00:28:07,600 --> 00:28:12,359
Speaker 1: in a draft till the cows come home. So I

481
00:28:12,400 --> 00:28:14,800
Speaker 1: who cares? It's twenty twenty four. They have one of

482
00:28:14,840 --> 00:28:16,600
Speaker 1: the best teams in the NFL, and they just lost

483
00:28:16,640 --> 00:28:22,239
Speaker 1: a Super Bowl in basically almost double overtime. What are

484
00:28:22,240 --> 00:28:29,280
Speaker 1: your thoughts on Gronkowski calling Kelsey the best tight end?

485
00:28:30,240 --> 00:28:32,520
Speaker 1: I know Gronk is humble and dances to the beat

486
00:28:32,560 --> 00:28:35,240
Speaker 1: of his own drum, But isn't it closer than he's

487
00:28:35,280 --> 00:28:40,040
Speaker 1: making it out to be. I think we talked about

488
00:28:40,080 --> 00:28:42,680
Speaker 1: this last week. I think you could play this game

489
00:28:42,840 --> 00:28:46,600
Speaker 1: all day long. Right, Kelsey's the best pass catching tight

490
00:28:46,720 --> 00:28:51,600
Speaker 1: end by far ever, and I think Gronk I didn't

491
00:28:51,600 --> 00:28:54,640
Speaker 1: watch Bavaro in the eighties, but probably the most complete

492
00:28:54,640 --> 00:28:59,080
Speaker 1: tight end we've ever seen. It's hard, right, Like you

493
00:28:59,080 --> 00:29:02,560
Speaker 1: play wide receiver, play wide receiver, you run routes, you

494
00:29:02,600 --> 00:29:06,880
Speaker 1: catch the ball. I just as a tight end, you

495
00:29:07,160 --> 00:29:10,240
Speaker 1: kind of play two roles. One is to be an

496
00:29:10,240 --> 00:29:13,280
Speaker 1: extra offensive lineman in the run game, and two is

497
00:29:13,280 --> 00:29:16,160
Speaker 1: to be a receiver in the passing game. And that's

498
00:29:16,200 --> 00:29:18,600
Speaker 1: where I think it's hard to kind of judge it

499
00:29:18,640 --> 00:29:20,360
Speaker 1: back and forth. But I hear what you're saying. I

500
00:29:20,400 --> 00:29:22,200
Speaker 1: know there's a long shot of you seeing this, but

501
00:29:23,480 --> 00:29:25,800
Speaker 1: I grew up in a cold mining town of less

502
00:29:25,840 --> 00:29:29,360
Speaker 1: than one thousand people and never thought I could escape

503
00:29:29,360 --> 00:29:32,160
Speaker 1: that lifestyle. But I watch you every day. I know

504
00:29:32,240 --> 00:29:36,480
Speaker 1: more football than anyone I've met by a mile. I'm

505
00:29:36,520 --> 00:29:39,560
Speaker 1: slightly educated in sports media, but couldn't afford to continue

506
00:29:39,600 --> 00:29:42,680
Speaker 1: school due to personal situation. My family and I are

507
00:29:42,720 --> 00:29:45,720
Speaker 1: finally stable enough for me to pursue my dream. You're

508
00:29:45,800 --> 00:29:49,080
Speaker 1: living my dream and have every resource. I wish I

509
00:29:49,080 --> 00:29:51,720
Speaker 1: could pursue a career like yours, but had to settle

510
00:29:51,760 --> 00:29:54,520
Speaker 1: for less to either help the family or because I

511
00:29:54,560 --> 00:29:57,800
Speaker 1: was influenced to not pursue such a career because it

512
00:29:57,840 --> 00:30:02,440
Speaker 1: was unrealistic, not try to make a life in physical labor.

513
00:30:03,400 --> 00:30:05,880
Speaker 1: I know football and basketball better than anyone I've ever met,

514
00:30:06,160 --> 00:30:07,880
Speaker 1: and to be honest, I gave up with my dreams

515
00:30:07,880 --> 00:30:12,040
Speaker 1: because school counselors told me to be more realistic. I

516
00:30:12,080 --> 00:30:14,680
Speaker 1: know I'm not an ideal candidate for any kind of

517
00:30:14,960 --> 00:30:18,760
Speaker 1: hire or temp, but if any temporary positions. So this

518
00:30:18,840 --> 00:30:23,880
Speaker 1: is just a this, I'll shoot you my email. This

519
00:30:23,920 --> 00:30:27,680
Speaker 1: is a good example to any young person, whether you

520
00:30:27,760 --> 00:30:32,320
Speaker 1: grow up in Chicago, San Francisco, or New York, or

521
00:30:33,680 --> 00:30:38,360
Speaker 1: you know a small town like this guy is, and

522
00:30:38,400 --> 00:30:42,000
Speaker 1: it's hard when you're young, and I was lucky. I mean,

523
00:30:42,120 --> 00:30:45,120
Speaker 1: I would say the luckiest thing I've ever had, beside

524
00:30:45,440 --> 00:30:49,000
Speaker 1: being born into like a two parent home, who you know,

525
00:30:49,760 --> 00:30:52,560
Speaker 1: forced me to go to school and try in school

526
00:30:53,000 --> 00:30:56,800
Speaker 1: even though I fucking hated school. Without them, I wouldn't

527
00:30:56,800 --> 00:30:59,960
Speaker 1: have tried and made sure that, you know, I would

528
00:31:00,240 --> 00:31:02,480
Speaker 1: some straight a student. You know, I'm not have cheated

529
00:31:02,520 --> 00:31:04,640
Speaker 1: a little, but I had to because I would have

530
00:31:04,640 --> 00:31:06,480
Speaker 1: got in trouble if I came home with like cease.

531
00:31:06,960 --> 00:31:10,280
Speaker 1: So I education was pushed in my house because they

532
00:31:10,320 --> 00:31:11,560
Speaker 1: grew up in the area of where you had to

533
00:31:11,600 --> 00:31:15,160
Speaker 1: go to college. But my mom worked for the state

534
00:31:15,240 --> 00:31:18,120
Speaker 1: capitol and you know, she's had a job for the government,

535
00:31:18,600 --> 00:31:22,760
Speaker 1: and my dad was a farmer, and they never they

536
00:31:23,400 --> 00:31:27,239
Speaker 1: never once said something to me about what I was

537
00:31:27,320 --> 00:31:32,240
Speaker 1: doing was weird or off the beaten path. Right. It's

538
00:31:32,240 --> 00:31:36,600
Speaker 1: one thing when you get into football, basketball, baseball, whatever,

539
00:31:36,680 --> 00:31:40,280
Speaker 1: because you played it. It's another thing when you get

540
00:31:40,320 --> 00:31:44,360
Speaker 1: into it. You know, I didn't play past high school,

541
00:31:44,960 --> 00:31:46,840
Speaker 1: and it's just one of those things that I loved

542
00:31:46,880 --> 00:31:50,960
Speaker 1: and wanted to pursue doing. So it's I would be

543
00:31:51,000 --> 00:31:53,080
Speaker 1: the first to tell you I had an easier path

544
00:31:53,360 --> 00:31:56,200
Speaker 1: just by the reality of no one ever told me

545
00:31:56,240 --> 00:31:59,959
Speaker 1: not to do it. And anytime people close to you,

546
00:32:00,080 --> 00:32:01,480
Speaker 1: and a lot of times when you're young, the people

547
00:32:01,520 --> 00:32:05,520
Speaker 1: close to you are your parents, your siblings, and either

548
00:32:06,040 --> 00:32:09,400
Speaker 1: you know, older mentors or school counselors or whatever, if

549
00:32:09,400 --> 00:32:13,240
Speaker 1: they give you negative feedback, which looking you know, it's

550
00:32:13,240 --> 00:32:15,120
Speaker 1: easy for me to say now looking back, like fuck

551
00:32:15,160 --> 00:32:18,000
Speaker 1: that guy or that girl for telling you that. But

552
00:32:18,080 --> 00:32:19,840
Speaker 1: at the time you don't know any better, and it's

553
00:32:19,840 --> 00:32:21,840
Speaker 1: hard to not take some of those words to heart.

554
00:32:22,840 --> 00:32:25,280
Speaker 1: Ninety nine point nine percent of us aren't secure enough

555
00:32:25,320 --> 00:32:31,600
Speaker 1: to to understand that we do have. You know, the

556
00:32:31,640 --> 00:32:33,400
Speaker 1: best part about this country is you can kind of

557
00:32:33,480 --> 00:32:36,400
Speaker 1: do anything you want. There's not some direct path there,

558
00:32:36,880 --> 00:32:39,160
Speaker 1: but if there's a will, there's a way. Obviously there

559
00:32:39,200 --> 00:32:42,280
Speaker 1: are certain things financially, you know, you can't just start

560
00:32:42,320 --> 00:32:46,480
Speaker 1: off by doing. But there's neveritely, never been an easier time.

561
00:32:46,600 --> 00:32:49,640
Speaker 1: In twenty twenty four, when I see and I listen,

562
00:32:49,800 --> 00:32:52,680
Speaker 1: just if you're on Twitter, you see so many I mean,

563
00:32:52,720 --> 00:32:55,000
Speaker 1: the media is addicted to the site, even though they

564
00:32:55,000 --> 00:32:57,280
Speaker 1: claim to hate it because of Elon, they've never used it.

565
00:32:57,320 --> 00:33:02,560
Speaker 1: More is, they can be very negative and there's like

566
00:33:02,600 --> 00:33:06,040
Speaker 1: a bitterness sometimes to that group. And the reality is

567
00:33:06,080 --> 00:33:09,040
Speaker 1: it's never been a better time to work in this industry.

568
00:33:09,720 --> 00:33:12,480
Speaker 1: There's never been more outlets. You just have to do

569
00:33:12,560 --> 00:33:15,960
Speaker 1: them on your own, from Instagram to TikTok to YouTube

570
00:33:16,040 --> 00:33:18,560
Speaker 1: to help sub stack. When I see these guys complain,

571
00:33:19,400 --> 00:33:21,600
Speaker 1: it's like grow a parent, figure it out, Like, let's

572
00:33:21,640 --> 00:33:24,120
Speaker 1: not act like there's it's way harder to do what

573
00:33:24,160 --> 00:33:27,040
Speaker 1: I do now. Twenty five years ago, I couldn't just

574
00:33:27,080 --> 00:33:29,000
Speaker 1: moved to Arizona. But if they're no one in radio

575
00:33:29,040 --> 00:33:31,640
Speaker 1: would have given me a job. It's much easier to

576
00:33:31,640 --> 00:33:33,720
Speaker 1: do what I'm doing in twenty twenty four than it's

577
00:33:33,720 --> 00:33:36,640
Speaker 1: ever been. Just like it's much easier to kind of

578
00:33:36,960 --> 00:33:41,160
Speaker 1: be a quote unquote creator, which media people, writer personalities

579
00:33:41,440 --> 00:33:46,240
Speaker 1: are and most of them, just like most people in society,

580
00:33:46,400 --> 00:33:48,760
Speaker 1: just complain, Just complain, just say this is too hard,

581
00:33:48,760 --> 00:33:50,920
Speaker 1: I can't do it. Well, that's gonna be your attitude.

582
00:33:50,920 --> 00:33:53,800
Speaker 1: It's never gonna happen. Bun that the NFL season is over,

583
00:33:54,480 --> 00:33:56,240
Speaker 1: I hear that the Pats and Falcons are looking to

584
00:33:56,320 --> 00:34:00,960
Speaker 1: trade for fields and Wilson. This seems it's crazy. The

585
00:34:01,040 --> 00:34:04,360
Speaker 1: quarterbacks available in the draft are quite good. They can

586
00:34:04,400 --> 00:34:07,240
Speaker 1: build a team around these guys and give their fan base.

587
00:34:07,360 --> 00:34:12,480
Speaker 1: Hope Field showed improvement, but he reverts to being so bad.

588
00:34:13,400 --> 00:34:16,080
Speaker 1: But if he reverts to being bad, then they'll look

589
00:34:16,120 --> 00:34:19,799
Speaker 1: like idiots. Wilson. I think he means Russell not Zach

590
00:34:20,920 --> 00:34:24,480
Speaker 1: is done. The fact that Denver are willing to waste

591
00:34:24,480 --> 00:34:28,480
Speaker 1: an exorbitate amount of cash to cut this guy says everything.

592
00:34:28,840 --> 00:34:32,919
Speaker 1: What are your thoughts? Let's start with the Falcons. They're

593
00:34:32,920 --> 00:34:36,480
Speaker 1: a little desperate. I saw their owner, maybe it was

594
00:34:36,520 --> 00:34:38,319
Speaker 1: at the Super Bowl. I don't know where he was

595
00:34:38,320 --> 00:34:41,480
Speaker 1: making the rounds of saying which isn't crazy. In the

596
00:34:41,480 --> 00:34:44,160
Speaker 1: next couple weeks, we will have serious discussions about the quarterbacks.

597
00:34:44,960 --> 00:34:47,960
Speaker 1: They're not drafting in the top five, so they're gonna

598
00:34:48,000 --> 00:34:50,640
Speaker 1: have to get aggressive with the trade of someone ideally

599
00:34:50,719 --> 00:34:55,000
Speaker 1: they wouldn't like. Justin Field's Russell Wilson. Let's face it

600
00:34:55,080 --> 00:34:59,960
Speaker 1: makes some sense. The New England Patriots are drafting third

601
00:35:00,600 --> 00:35:02,600
Speaker 1: and there are a ton of quarterbacks in this draft.

602
00:35:03,360 --> 00:35:07,000
Speaker 1: I would say that one hundred percent getting one of

603
00:35:07,040 --> 00:35:10,520
Speaker 1: those guys in the draft makes sense for them. There's

604
00:35:10,520 --> 00:35:13,560
Speaker 1: a chance the Falcons don't have access to any of

605
00:35:13,560 --> 00:35:17,640
Speaker 1: these guys because of where they're picking, so I don't

606
00:35:17,680 --> 00:35:20,359
Speaker 1: think it's as crazy for the Falcons to just try

607
00:35:20,400 --> 00:35:23,239
Speaker 1: to patchwork it for a season. I do think it's

608
00:35:23,320 --> 00:35:25,320
Speaker 1: kind of nuts for the Patriots, who I expect to

609
00:35:25,400 --> 00:35:30,000
Speaker 1: draft a quarterback. I broke down and registered for an

610
00:35:30,000 --> 00:35:34,600
Speaker 1: Instagram account just for the mailbag. One topic I haven't

611
00:35:34,680 --> 00:35:38,120
Speaker 1: heard discussed is what was going on with the Chiefs

612
00:35:38,200 --> 00:35:43,520
Speaker 1: clock management at the end of overtime. If Hardiman dropped

613
00:35:43,560 --> 00:35:47,520
Speaker 1: that pass, the Chiefs probably are five seconds left and

614
00:35:47,640 --> 00:35:50,759
Speaker 1: have to kick the field goal to go to double overtime.

615
00:35:51,560 --> 00:35:54,360
Speaker 1: Did I miss something? Keep up the good work. I

616
00:35:54,360 --> 00:35:56,640
Speaker 1: think I answered my own question, So go ahead and

617
00:35:56,640 --> 00:35:59,440
Speaker 1: would draw the question for the bag above. If the

618
00:35:59,480 --> 00:36:01,400
Speaker 1: score is still tied at the end of overtime period

619
00:36:01,880 --> 00:36:04,440
Speaker 1: or in the second team's initial possession has not ended,

620
00:36:04,880 --> 00:36:09,400
Speaker 1: the team will play another overtime period. Yeah, this is

621
00:36:09,400 --> 00:36:12,080
Speaker 1: what was confusing, and I talked about this on the podcast.

622
00:36:13,640 --> 00:36:16,280
Speaker 1: It's just like the second quarter. That is where Romo

623
00:36:16,440 --> 00:36:19,839
Speaker 1: is right. You get just the play. If it's third

624
00:36:19,920 --> 00:36:24,240
Speaker 1: down with fifteen minutes left in the quarter. It doesn't

625
00:36:24,239 --> 00:36:27,480
Speaker 1: like start anew you just get to keep playing. The

626
00:36:27,520 --> 00:36:31,799
Speaker 1: game just goes on. That's why Romo acting like you

627
00:36:31,800 --> 00:36:34,920
Speaker 1: don't you know, you don't need to blow timeouts like

628
00:36:34,920 --> 00:36:37,560
Speaker 1: you can you get three timeouts, which I'd argue is

629
00:36:37,640 --> 00:36:41,200
Speaker 1: kind of dumb and a little excessive here. It would

630
00:36:41,239 --> 00:36:44,200
Speaker 1: be one thing I would do if they discussed the

631
00:36:44,239 --> 00:36:49,200
Speaker 1: overtime at the winter meetings. One would be I would

632
00:36:49,239 --> 00:36:51,640
Speaker 1: only give two timeouts. I don't think you need to

633
00:36:51,640 --> 00:36:55,960
Speaker 1: give three timeouts, and two I would give a challenge flack,

634
00:36:56,680 --> 00:36:59,880
Speaker 1: which makes those timeouts a little more powerful, because if

635
00:36:59,920 --> 00:37:04,600
Speaker 1: you challenge a play, then you lose the time out.

636
00:37:05,640 --> 00:37:10,200
Speaker 1: The challenges went to the you know, the official review.

637
00:37:10,960 --> 00:37:13,759
Speaker 1: There were a couple plays that I thought would have

638
00:37:13,800 --> 00:37:18,680
Speaker 1: been challengeable and they never reviewed it. So if I

639
00:37:18,840 --> 00:37:21,400
Speaker 1: was a coach, I would be cool with giving up

640
00:37:21,400 --> 00:37:25,000
Speaker 1: a time out in overtime to have the power to

641
00:37:25,200 --> 00:37:28,520
Speaker 1: challenge a play because in theory they should be all

642
00:37:28,560 --> 00:37:31,920
Speaker 1: over it. Well, we know these fucking idiots are not.

643
00:37:32,719 --> 00:37:36,239
Speaker 1: So I forget the exact plays, but there definitely were

644
00:37:36,239 --> 00:37:38,920
Speaker 1: two that I would have challenged if I was the

645
00:37:39,480 --> 00:37:43,319
Speaker 1: other coach. Might have been both Andy Reid honestly, the

646
00:37:43,360 --> 00:37:46,600
Speaker 1: one where Patrick Mahomes got the fourth and one either

647
00:37:46,680 --> 00:37:48,960
Speaker 1: when he ran it or threw it. Yeah, it was

648
00:37:49,000 --> 00:37:51,200
Speaker 1: when he ran it. I guess they only had one

649
00:37:51,200 --> 00:37:53,920
Speaker 1: fourth down, but the one he ran sure looked to

650
00:37:53,960 --> 00:37:56,399
Speaker 1: me like Pachaco was not down, rolled over and got

651
00:37:56,400 --> 00:37:59,480
Speaker 1: a first down. If I'm Andy Reid, I challenged that play.

652
00:37:59,760 --> 00:38:01,799
Speaker 1: I'm looking around like are they going to challenge? Are

653
00:38:01,840 --> 00:38:03,520
Speaker 1: they going to challenge it from above? And they never did.

654
00:38:04,760 --> 00:38:06,680
Speaker 1: There was one other player. Oh the US check catch,

655
00:38:06,760 --> 00:38:10,600
Speaker 1: which I'm glad they called a catch, but not crazy

656
00:38:10,600 --> 00:38:15,279
Speaker 1: if you challenge it in fairness. I do think the

657
00:38:15,480 --> 00:38:21,080
Speaker 1: new overtime's a little confusing, I really do. Longtime listener,

658
00:38:21,760 --> 00:38:26,640
Speaker 1: heartbroken Niner fan question for the mailbag. I'm already offended

659
00:38:26,680 --> 00:38:30,160
Speaker 1: by this next line. I'm offended. I don't even know

660
00:38:30,160 --> 00:38:32,400
Speaker 1: if I can read it. I don't want to read it,

661
00:38:32,640 --> 00:38:36,440
Speaker 1: but I will for the people. Is Kyle Shanahan the

662
00:38:36,520 --> 00:38:39,360
Speaker 1: next Brandon Staley. I know he's done a lot to

663
00:38:39,400 --> 00:38:43,600
Speaker 1: elevate our team post Harball, I'd say so, but Kyle's

664
00:38:43,640 --> 00:38:48,680
Speaker 1: low situational football at Q has cost us three Super Bowls. Meanwhile,

665
00:38:48,719 --> 00:38:51,520
Speaker 1: the players are feeling crushed and taking responsibility, but Kyle

666
00:38:51,600 --> 00:38:55,360
Speaker 1: has not openly admitted to his mistakes, such as deferring

667
00:38:55,360 --> 00:38:58,760
Speaker 1: in overtime. I wouldn't. That's not a one hundred mistake

668
00:38:59,360 --> 00:39:02,560
Speaker 1: not going for fourth down. Agreed on that one. Aren't

669
00:39:02,560 --> 00:39:06,960
Speaker 1: good leaders supposed to take accountability? Well, listen, I'm pro

670
00:39:07,040 --> 00:39:08,759
Speaker 1: Kyle Shanahan. I think he's one of the best coaches

671
00:39:08,800 --> 00:39:12,600
Speaker 1: in the league. Kyle Shanahan is not big on saying

672
00:39:12,640 --> 00:39:15,600
Speaker 1: I regret doing that. He was asked today in his

673
00:39:15,680 --> 00:39:19,359
Speaker 1: breast conference about the overtime situation. It would have been

674
00:39:19,400 --> 00:39:22,839
Speaker 1: an easy one for him to say, if I had

675
00:39:22,840 --> 00:39:25,360
Speaker 1: a do over on that one, I would have gone

676
00:39:25,400 --> 00:39:27,719
Speaker 1: for it down there in the red zone. But he

677
00:39:28,320 --> 00:39:31,400
Speaker 1: I've followed him long enough, which I respect. I like

678
00:39:31,400 --> 00:39:34,560
Speaker 1: people who are true to themselves. As long as the

679
00:39:34,600 --> 00:39:38,880
Speaker 1: players think he's accountable, listen, Ideally the fans would that

680
00:39:38,920 --> 00:39:41,879
Speaker 1: they pay fucking for salary and all the bills. It's

681
00:39:41,920 --> 00:39:44,480
Speaker 1: just not gonna be his thing. Last year brock Perty

682
00:39:44,520 --> 00:39:46,480
Speaker 1: he refused to admit, Hey, Kyle, if you've got a

683
00:39:46,520 --> 00:39:49,440
Speaker 1: do over, would you call a different play? No, he didn't,

684
00:39:49,960 --> 00:39:52,319
Speaker 1: and he's still to this day he does not regret it. Well,

685
00:39:52,320 --> 00:39:54,319
Speaker 1: maybe he does, but he's never gonna publicly say it.

686
00:39:56,400 --> 00:39:58,840
Speaker 1: Compare Kyle Shanahan to Brandon Staley, though it is offensive.

687
00:39:59,600 --> 00:40:02,320
Speaker 1: Brandon Staley is a position coach in the National Football League,

688
00:40:02,400 --> 00:40:06,560
Speaker 1: a position coach. Kyle Shanahan is proven to be one

689
00:40:06,600 --> 00:40:08,719
Speaker 1: of the not just the best head coaches, but one

690
00:40:08,760 --> 00:40:13,360
Speaker 1: of the best play colors. In resurrect a franchise that

691
00:40:13,600 --> 00:40:18,040
Speaker 1: was fucking dead. Brandon Staley is one of the biggest

692
00:40:18,080 --> 00:40:21,160
Speaker 1: frauds I've ever seen in all my time falling foot

693
00:40:21,320 --> 00:40:27,200
Speaker 1: falling sports. I throw stan Van Gundy up there, there's

694
00:40:27,200 --> 00:40:30,600
Speaker 1: some other ones, but Brandon Staley might take the cake.

695
00:40:30,960 --> 00:40:32,919
Speaker 1: I think Chip Kelly has kind of turned into one

696
00:40:33,960 --> 00:40:37,719
Speaker 1: h Kyle Shanahan's legit. Does he have some flaws? Does

697
00:40:37,760 --> 00:40:40,800
Speaker 1: he have some things that ultimately he needs to improve

698
00:40:40,840 --> 00:40:45,920
Speaker 1: on to become Andy Reid? So did Andy Reid once

699
00:40:46,000 --> 00:40:49,920
Speaker 1: upon a time comparing him to Brandon Staley. I'm offended

700
00:40:49,960 --> 00:40:56,760
Speaker 1: for Kyle Shanahan. That's that's just not fair. It's not Brandon.

701
00:40:57,560 --> 00:41:00,720
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm not trying to pick on Brandon Staley.

702
00:41:02,160 --> 00:41:07,520
Speaker 1: Obviously you brought him up, but that's just no Commanders fan.

703
00:41:08,320 --> 00:41:11,719
Speaker 1: I was pulling for the Niners. Love Shanny and the

704
00:41:11,800 --> 00:41:16,040
Speaker 1: Niners roster beside Chase Young for obvious reasons. I think

705
00:41:16,040 --> 00:41:18,560
Speaker 1: they lost the game. During their last possession in the

706
00:41:18,560 --> 00:41:21,799
Speaker 1: fourth quarter, it was third down and four yards to go.

707
00:41:22,880 --> 00:41:25,960
Speaker 1: Instead of running the ball with McCaffrey, they threw an

708
00:41:26,000 --> 00:41:29,960
Speaker 1: incomplete pass. They only had to get one first down

709
00:41:30,040 --> 00:41:33,280
Speaker 1: to basically run out the clock and kick the winning

710
00:41:33,280 --> 00:41:35,600
Speaker 1: field goal. Why didn't they hand it to him in

711
00:41:35,680 --> 00:41:39,560
Speaker 1: the moment boggles my mind. Here's what I would say

712
00:41:40,120 --> 00:41:42,239
Speaker 1: is they had a lot of run plays throughout that

713
00:41:42,360 --> 00:41:47,320
Speaker 1: game that went nowhere. Now, they also had some successful ones,

714
00:41:47,840 --> 00:41:51,600
Speaker 1: but there is no guarantee on an inside or outside

715
00:41:51,680 --> 00:41:54,920
Speaker 1: zone or just the staple of Kyle's offense, that sweet

716
00:41:55,000 --> 00:41:58,080
Speaker 1: pitch play they like to run with pulling Trent Williams

717
00:41:58,080 --> 00:42:04,440
Speaker 1: out in front and use check would have worked obviously

718
00:42:04,480 --> 00:42:06,160
Speaker 1: if they got the first down, they run out the clock.

719
00:42:06,920 --> 00:42:09,239
Speaker 1: I'm a huge Niner fan. A lot of heartache over

720
00:42:09,280 --> 00:42:13,279
Speaker 1: the last decade. I feel you listening to Colin. I

721
00:42:13,320 --> 00:42:16,560
Speaker 1: feel like Colin has a heart on? Is hard enough?

722
00:42:17,920 --> 00:42:20,520
Speaker 1: Is heart on? Brock not have a heart on? And

723
00:42:20,600 --> 00:42:23,880
Speaker 1: he's only a second year player. What reasons do we

724
00:42:23,960 --> 00:42:27,640
Speaker 1: have to think he won't get better? Ready for the

725
00:42:27,640 --> 00:42:31,719
Speaker 1: go lo pods. We'll fire that up here. We got

726
00:42:31,800 --> 00:42:34,360
Speaker 1: Riviera this weekend. I'll put out my bets on Wednesday

727
00:42:34,400 --> 00:42:38,520
Speaker 1: on social Media's In theory, he should improve. In theory,

728
00:42:38,520 --> 00:42:41,239
Speaker 1: he should be better. He didn't practice all offseason because

729
00:42:41,239 --> 00:42:44,759
Speaker 1: his elbow was torn, so the offense should continue to

730
00:42:44,760 --> 00:42:48,799
Speaker 1: mold to him. He obviously has some physical limitations. He

731
00:42:48,840 --> 00:42:52,719
Speaker 1: does not have a big arm, and he's short. But

732
00:42:53,080 --> 00:42:56,719
Speaker 1: can he maximize everything that he has? I think it

733
00:42:56,760 --> 00:42:59,920
Speaker 1: is undeniable that everything we've seen out of Brock per

734
00:43:00,440 --> 00:43:04,200
Speaker 1: equals maximize all his talent, and then when you factor

735
00:43:04,239 --> 00:43:07,399
Speaker 1: in his coach some of the players around him, you'd

736
00:43:07,400 --> 00:43:10,279
Speaker 1: feel pretty good. I agree with you. I think some

737
00:43:10,320 --> 00:43:13,720
Speaker 1: of the criticism for a guy that makes nine hundred

738
00:43:13,840 --> 00:43:18,680
Speaker 1: thousand dollars is insane. People like you guys are hard

739
00:43:18,680 --> 00:43:22,239
Speaker 1: on Cousins and Dak and Derek Carr. Yeah, they make

740
00:43:22,280 --> 00:43:26,120
Speaker 1: thirty five to forty dollars. They take up a substantial

741
00:43:26,120 --> 00:43:32,480
Speaker 1: amount of the salary cap. Brock makes it easy to

742
00:43:32,480 --> 00:43:35,000
Speaker 1: build your team like That's a huge part of his conversation.

743
00:43:36,760 --> 00:43:39,440
Speaker 1: Hasn't been talked about much. But do you think the

744
00:43:39,480 --> 00:43:45,000
Speaker 1: Seahawks should do in this year's draft? I think we

745
00:43:45,080 --> 00:43:48,120
Speaker 1: need to highly consider taking a young quarterback Gino is

746
00:43:48,160 --> 00:43:51,160
Speaker 1: average but never going to lead us to a championship.

747
00:43:51,920 --> 00:43:54,800
Speaker 1: I feel like we can support a good young quarterback

748
00:43:55,120 --> 00:43:59,120
Speaker 1: with their good receiving corps and young defensive players. I

749
00:43:59,120 --> 00:44:02,319
Speaker 1: would Includekenneth Walker as well that's done running back. I

750
00:44:02,360 --> 00:44:07,760
Speaker 1: would imagine that Michael Pennix hiring Ben Grubb is gonna

751
00:44:07,760 --> 00:44:11,040
Speaker 1: be a guy that's highly discussed. I would imagine Michael

752
00:44:11,080 --> 00:44:15,240
Speaker 1: Pennix and Bo Nicks will be two guys that Grubb

753
00:44:15,280 --> 00:44:19,000
Speaker 1: has a lot of, I don't know, experience with. He

754
00:44:19,080 --> 00:44:22,279
Speaker 1: also played against in college JJ McCarthy in the National

755
00:44:22,360 --> 00:44:25,359
Speaker 1: Championship game. So I would say all those guys are

756
00:44:25,400 --> 00:44:30,160
Speaker 1: going to be in the mix for Seattle if you

757
00:44:30,200 --> 00:44:33,960
Speaker 1: had to base it off his previous the guys he's liked,

758
00:44:34,000 --> 00:44:37,000
Speaker 1: remember Russell Wilson, a little bit of a flyer, great

759
00:44:37,000 --> 00:44:42,000
Speaker 1: physical tools, he loved Josh Allen. I think a lot

760
00:44:42,000 --> 00:44:45,279
Speaker 1: of us assumed that he would like Anthony Richardson. So

761
00:44:45,320 --> 00:44:47,600
Speaker 1: if that's kind of the mold, I would say JJ

762
00:44:47,719 --> 00:44:53,520
Speaker 1: McCarthy is gonna be someone he's gonna like. Got a

763
00:44:53,560 --> 00:44:58,600
Speaker 1: lot of tools, pretty raw, a lot of upside. He's

764
00:44:58,640 --> 00:45:03,680
Speaker 1: a scouts type player. Swing for the fences. I start

765
00:45:03,719 --> 00:45:07,759
Speaker 1: every morning with the pod and an expresso. I like

766
00:45:07,840 --> 00:45:13,200
Speaker 1: this guy, me too. Crazy scenario forty nine Ers lose

767
00:45:13,239 --> 00:45:16,680
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl, then hire Belichick as head coach on

768
00:45:16,719 --> 00:45:20,640
Speaker 1: a one year deal. Shanahan goes to offensive coordinator for

769
00:45:20,680 --> 00:45:24,160
Speaker 1: the year. Offense take care of. Defense, have taken care of.

770
00:45:24,600 --> 00:45:27,200
Speaker 1: Bill gets the all time win record. Next year, wins

771
00:45:27,200 --> 00:45:33,040
Speaker 1: Super Bowl, then retires. Here's my proposal. I'm I think

772
00:45:33,040 --> 00:45:36,239
Speaker 1: it's borderline factual that Kyle and Bill Belichick have talked

773
00:45:36,239 --> 00:45:40,120
Speaker 1: over the last month. Bill Belichick and Mike Shanahan were

774
00:45:40,239 --> 00:45:44,760
Speaker 1: very close. When Bill was going to hire or trade

775
00:45:45,120 --> 00:45:48,040
Speaker 1: Jimmy Garoppolo, when the Crafts and Brady kind of force

776
00:45:48,160 --> 00:45:52,680
Speaker 1: his hand. He called one person. He said, Kyle, you

777
00:45:52,760 --> 00:45:54,680
Speaker 1: got about two hours. It was like six in the

778
00:45:54,680 --> 00:45:58,520
Speaker 1: morning to make this decision. This is not a negotiation

779
00:46:00,080 --> 00:46:02,840
Speaker 1: second round pick. They were terrible at the time for Jimmy,

780
00:46:02,840 --> 00:46:07,560
Speaker 1: g call me. You got two hours. It's like a

781
00:46:07,600 --> 00:46:12,000
Speaker 1: hostage situation. Obviously they did the deal. He called him.

782
00:46:12,600 --> 00:46:16,320
Speaker 1: They have a good relationship. Bill Belichick likes Kyle Shanhan

783
00:46:16,360 --> 00:46:19,920
Speaker 1: a lot. Do I think that Bill Belichick should be

784
00:46:20,000 --> 00:46:23,000
Speaker 1: a defensive coordinator? Of course, not he's proven to be

785
00:46:23,040 --> 00:46:26,799
Speaker 1: a head coach. If I'm Kyle Shanahan, I look at

786
00:46:26,840 --> 00:46:29,480
Speaker 1: Jed York and I go listen, will you give me

787
00:46:29,560 --> 00:46:33,279
Speaker 1: a blank check to go hire Bill Belichick? Jed York

788
00:46:33,360 --> 00:46:37,319
Speaker 1: runs around in Silicon Valley with all these billionaires that

789
00:46:37,440 --> 00:46:40,680
Speaker 1: look at twenty million dollars like most people look at

790
00:46:40,719 --> 00:46:44,719
Speaker 1: twenty dollars. So if Kyle called Bill and said, listen, Bill,

791
00:46:46,640 --> 00:46:49,200
Speaker 1: I don't think you want to be in a like

792
00:46:49,320 --> 00:46:52,560
Speaker 1: I don't view you as an assistant coach, but you

793
00:46:52,600 --> 00:46:55,719
Speaker 1: clearly there's no options for you this year. If you

794
00:46:55,880 --> 00:46:59,879
Speaker 1: want to coach this year, here is a blank check.

795
00:47:00,040 --> 00:47:02,360
Speaker 1: Tell me what your numbers. You want twenty million dollars

796
00:47:02,360 --> 00:47:05,400
Speaker 1: to be my defensive coordinator? I only make fifteen. Here's

797
00:47:05,520 --> 00:47:09,960
Speaker 1: twenty million dollars. You come with me. You go double

798
00:47:09,960 --> 00:47:13,120
Speaker 1: biddle finger to all these fucking idiot owners. We will

799
00:47:13,200 --> 00:47:16,040
Speaker 1: kick the shit out of them all and then next

800
00:47:16,080 --> 00:47:19,080
Speaker 1: year they will be lined up on their knees begging

801
00:47:19,120 --> 00:47:22,440
Speaker 1: you to be their coach. That's what that'd be my approach.

802
00:47:23,120 --> 00:47:26,600
Speaker 1: What would a cost Bill want? I'll leave you alone, obviously,

803
00:47:26,719 --> 00:47:31,680
Speaker 1: you do whatever you want. Coach these guys up. Let's

804
00:47:31,680 --> 00:47:35,640
Speaker 1: go win in a Super Bowl and let's go shove it

805
00:47:35,680 --> 00:47:40,239
Speaker 1: to these owners that refuse to hire you. It's one

806
00:47:40,239 --> 00:47:44,239
Speaker 1: of the biggest injustices in coaching history, that Belichick with

807
00:47:44,239 --> 00:47:46,120
Speaker 1: his resume. That's what I'd be saying if I was Kyle.

808
00:47:46,920 --> 00:47:49,799
Speaker 1: We got pieces, we'll build this thing. You help some

809
00:47:49,840 --> 00:47:51,879
Speaker 1: of my young dbs. I got you, Fred Warner, Nick

810
00:47:51,920 --> 00:47:55,680
Speaker 1: Bosa ready to go, Tarvarius Ward under we got a

811
00:47:55,680 --> 00:47:58,839
Speaker 1: big corner for you. We'll keep who Fungus coming back,

812
00:47:59,400 --> 00:48:05,560
Speaker 1: Hardgraves on contract. Let's get it done. And Bill's probably like, bro,

813
00:48:05,600 --> 00:48:09,640
Speaker 1: I'm good, talk to you later. This is from before

814
00:48:09,680 --> 00:48:13,440
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl. I know you picked the Niners, which

815
00:48:14,000 --> 00:48:17,799
Speaker 1: I did. Are you surprised the Chiefs aren't favored. Let's

816
00:48:17,800 --> 00:48:20,440
Speaker 1: do a look back on the last wind on this

817
00:48:20,520 --> 00:48:25,800
Speaker 1: the last three games going to Buffalo based on their season.

818
00:48:27,560 --> 00:48:31,240
Speaker 1: I don't think it's crazy they weren't favored with the Ravens.

819
00:48:31,400 --> 00:48:33,840
Speaker 1: The Chiefs will tell you that is one of the

820
00:48:33,880 --> 00:48:37,239
Speaker 1: best teams, if not the best team in the AFC

821
00:48:38,360 --> 00:48:41,759
Speaker 1: going into the game. They had played, especially on the road.

822
00:48:41,800 --> 00:48:43,879
Speaker 1: It was only a second road game of the era.

823
00:48:44,680 --> 00:48:47,040
Speaker 1: That team, on paper should have won the Super Bowl

824
00:48:47,719 --> 00:48:51,160
Speaker 1: games aren't played on paper, so once they win that game,

825
00:48:51,640 --> 00:48:54,279
Speaker 1: they beat the team that beat the living piss out

826
00:48:54,280 --> 00:48:58,160
Speaker 1: of the Niners. What the game should have been is

827
00:48:58,200 --> 00:49:01,200
Speaker 1: a coin flip. Should have been a pick them. But

828
00:49:01,320 --> 00:49:03,840
Speaker 1: Vegas sets the line based on how people will bet.

829
00:49:04,480 --> 00:49:07,759
Speaker 1: They took a bloodbath. They really did, because I think

830
00:49:07,760 --> 00:49:11,160
Speaker 1: if you flip it and make the Chiefs minus two

831
00:49:11,200 --> 00:49:13,960
Speaker 1: and a half minus two, you probably get a lot

832
00:49:13,960 --> 00:49:18,200
Speaker 1: more even money in Vegas wouldn't have gotten killed. But everybody,

833
00:49:18,520 --> 00:49:22,480
Speaker 1: I mean, beside your boy here, everyone I know. I

834
00:49:22,520 --> 00:49:26,880
Speaker 1: know some people that made a lot of money. I

835
00:49:26,920 --> 00:49:30,440
Speaker 1: know some people that have bet with the Chiefs basically

836
00:49:30,640 --> 00:49:35,439
Speaker 1: all every underdog game, the three straight games. I didn't

837
00:49:35,440 --> 00:49:39,640
Speaker 1: get the exact number, but I think it's a high

838
00:49:39,760 --> 00:49:44,480
Speaker 1: rolling better. That number might be approaching six figures because

839
00:49:44,520 --> 00:49:46,600
Speaker 1: early on he hammered him and he just kept doubling

840
00:49:46,640 --> 00:49:50,200
Speaker 1: down and he felt pretty good. Now, the super Bowl

841
00:49:50,239 --> 00:49:52,600
Speaker 1: would have been a little dicey, but you definitely felt

842
00:49:52,600 --> 00:49:54,239
Speaker 1: pretty good in the previous two games, especially at the

843
00:49:54,280 --> 00:49:57,759
Speaker 1: Baltimore game. They had to lead the whole time. I

844
00:49:57,800 --> 00:50:02,399
Speaker 1: think it's one of Vegas's biggest mistakes. I don't think

845
00:50:02,400 --> 00:50:06,200
Speaker 1: it happens again, I don't think we see that scenario

846
00:50:06,239 --> 00:50:09,799
Speaker 1: play out again. If Patrick Mahomes an underdog in any

847
00:50:09,840 --> 00:50:13,640
Speaker 1: scenario unless he's unless like the league forces them to

848
00:50:13,640 --> 00:50:17,440
Speaker 1: play with three zero alignment or something. If Patrick Mahomes

849
00:50:17,440 --> 00:50:20,160
Speaker 1: is there and Andy Reid's there and they have a

850
00:50:20,520 --> 00:50:25,040
Speaker 1: you know they're in the playoffs. I would never ever

851
00:50:25,080 --> 00:50:27,719
Speaker 1: bet against them ever. Again doesn't obviously they're going to

852
00:50:27,760 --> 00:50:31,160
Speaker 1: eventually lose a playoff game, but it's one of the

853
00:50:31,160 --> 00:50:34,680
Speaker 1: great lessons we've learned. Maybe many of you didn't because

854
00:50:34,719 --> 00:50:37,160
Speaker 1: you've bet on the Chiefs, but for those of us

855
00:50:37,719 --> 00:50:45,280
Speaker 1: and Vegas idiots, the volume
