Episode two seventy two. 10 00:00:45,400 --> 00:00:51,160 Speaker 2: Apologies for not being here on Thursday. Just some issues 11 00:00:51,760 --> 00:00:54,160 Speaker 2: on the block where the story is preventing us from 12 00:00:54,200 --> 00:00:57,000 Speaker 2: being able to record. But what you missed out on 13 00:00:57,360 --> 00:01:00,680 Speaker 2: was hopefully follow us on Socials was Demid giving out 14 00:01:00,720 --> 00:01:05,160 Speaker 2: another winning teaser. This is a true Oh. By the way, 15 00:01:05,160 --> 00:01:07,600 Speaker 2: here's what missed the cut. Demonse hit his fourth teaser 16 00:01:07,600 --> 00:01:10,120 Speaker 2: in a row. There was a second Monday night football game. 17 00:01:10,440 --> 00:01:13,840 Speaker 2: Listen the Cardinals won, Chargers lost, and Deshaun Watson's out 18 00:01:13,880 --> 00:01:16,280 Speaker 2: for the season. I might touch on that in today's show, 19 00:01:16,319 --> 00:01:20,120 Speaker 2: I might not. I'm debating it. It feels like it 20 00:01:20,440 --> 00:01:23,119 Speaker 2: feels like most of the takes have been that need 21 00:01:23,200 --> 00:01:25,720 Speaker 2: to be said have been said. And it'll really depend 22 00:01:25,760 --> 00:01:27,680 Speaker 2: on my mood how much I want to get into 23 00:01:27,720 --> 00:01:30,200 Speaker 2: the vociferous defense. You know what, screw it, I'll just 24 00:01:30,240 --> 00:01:33,280 Speaker 2: start the show with it very quickly, and then we'll 25 00:01:33,280 --> 00:01:35,480 Speaker 2: get to the fun stuff. So pop Demanse off the 26 00:01:35,520 --> 00:01:37,080 Speaker 2: screen if you don't mind, because we're gonna get the 27 00:01:37,120 --> 00:01:39,039 Speaker 2: fun stuff with him in a moment. Here's what I'm 28 00:01:39,080 --> 00:01:46,160 Speaker 2: gonna say. Uh, the reason people are so galled at 29 00:01:46,240 --> 00:01:54,440 Speaker 2: the vociferous defense of Deshaun Watson after he pops his 30 00:01:54,520 --> 00:01:58,360 Speaker 2: achilles at it's very you know, I shouldn't say people 31 00:01:58,400 --> 00:02:01,920 Speaker 2: are so galled. The reason I was so galled is 32 00:02:01,960 --> 00:02:06,120 Speaker 2: the very simple fact of this. And this is the 33 00:02:06,120 --> 00:02:09,840 Speaker 2: only thing that I think people haven't put real voice 34 00:02:09,880 --> 00:02:12,840 Speaker 2: to where if they have, I missed it, So I'll 35 00:02:12,880 --> 00:02:15,040 Speaker 2: say it, and if someone else said it before it 36 00:02:15,160 --> 00:02:21,000 Speaker 2: before me, my apologies. The only class of people Deshaun 37 00:02:21,080 --> 00:02:26,120 Speaker 2: Watson could have been accused of doing what he did 38 00:02:26,600 --> 00:02:30,680 Speaker 2: to those people or women. And you might be like, well, 39 00:02:30,680 --> 00:02:33,399 Speaker 2: how many classes of people are there. Here's what I mean. 40 00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:39,519 Speaker 2: If Deshaun Watson was credibly accused of abusing two dozen children, 41 00:02:39,960 --> 00:02:44,359 Speaker 2: his teammates would not embrace him. And if Deshaun Watson 42 00:02:44,639 --> 00:02:52,320 Speaker 2: was accused of using his power, influence and physical stature 43 00:02:53,600 --> 00:03:00,560 Speaker 2: to sexually abuse two dozen male masseuses, his teammates wouldn't 44 00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:08,040 Speaker 2: embrace him. That's why it's so galling is you can say, oh, 45 00:03:08,040 --> 00:03:10,240 Speaker 2: it's a family, they're not worried about off the field. 46 00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:14,320 Speaker 2: I am here to tell you right now, and everyone 47 00:03:15,040 --> 00:03:22,240 Speaker 2: listening and watching knows it that if what Deshaun Watson 48 00:03:22,320 --> 00:03:27,160 Speaker 2: was accused of doing and settled lawsuits and there's new 49 00:03:27,280 --> 00:03:34,120 Speaker 2: lawsuits and incredibly credible allegations if any of that, if 50 00:03:34,760 --> 00:03:38,680 Speaker 2: it involved children, no team would have touched him. And 51 00:03:38,760 --> 00:03:42,520 Speaker 2: if it involved men, no team would have touched him 52 00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:48,040 Speaker 2: because they'd have been worried will the locker room accept him? 53 00:03:48,880 --> 00:03:55,080 Speaker 2: But because it involved grown women, there was an understanding, Eh, 54 00:03:55,480 --> 00:03:58,480 Speaker 2: if he's good, I think they'll I think it'll be okay. 55 00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:01,760 Speaker 2: I ain't guys, we'll be fine with it. And then, 56 00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:04,800 Speaker 2: as it turned out, even though he was the worst 57 00:04:04,840 --> 00:04:09,760 Speaker 2: quarterback in the league, when the guy pops's achilles and 58 00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:15,720 Speaker 2: fans have a unfortunate reaction. We got folks standing up 59 00:04:15,760 --> 00:04:19,200 Speaker 2: there saying he's been a model citizen for most of 60 00:04:19,240 --> 00:04:25,920 Speaker 2: his career. Okay, I mean John Wilkes Booth was a 61 00:04:26,040 --> 00:04:29,839 Speaker 2: model theater patron for most of his life. I mean, 62 00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:32,320 Speaker 2: I mean, what are we talking about? Model citism for 63 00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:34,880 Speaker 2: most of his career except for those two or three dozen, 64 00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:39,160 Speaker 2: you know times. So I think that's I think, at 65 00:04:39,160 --> 00:04:43,120 Speaker 2: its core, it is about the lack of regard and 66 00:04:43,279 --> 00:04:50,280 Speaker 2: respect people have for women as a human class. And 67 00:04:51,839 --> 00:04:55,080 Speaker 2: that's that's my takeaway on it. I didn't actually, like 68 00:04:55,120 --> 00:04:56,520 Speaker 2: I said, I wasn't even sure if I was gonna 69 00:04:56,520 --> 00:04:59,200 Speaker 2: talk about it, but we talked about it. Now will 70 00:04:59,400 --> 00:05:03,040 Speaker 2: flip things around a bit because we weren't here Tuesday. Demond, 71 00:05:03,279 --> 00:05:07,159 Speaker 2: welcome back in so you might be the best football 72 00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:14,719 Speaker 2: better in America right now. This is really one of 73 00:05:14,760 --> 00:05:19,839 Speaker 2: the most shocking turn of events I've ever seen. But 74 00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:25,400 Speaker 2: you so demands people don't know does this? Obviously you 75 00:05:25,480 --> 00:05:29,400 Speaker 2: know that. But also works on the Fox Sports lot 76 00:05:29,440 --> 00:05:33,479 Speaker 2: in LA for the studio shows, doing a lot of 77 00:05:33,520 --> 00:05:38,560 Speaker 2: different things. But you are you occasionally ir regularly cut 78 00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:41,400 Speaker 2: tape for the herd. Correct, Like we don't really talk 79 00:05:41,440 --> 00:05:43,960 Speaker 2: about this much. But that's a fair job, part of 80 00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:49,040 Speaker 2: your job description. So you were included in the herds 81 00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:53,040 Speaker 2: Picks contest, and they the format tell me if I'm wrong, 82 00:05:53,560 --> 00:05:57,000 Speaker 2: is exactly like I do my picks. Five picks against 83 00:05:57,000 --> 00:05:58,039 Speaker 2: the spread a week. 84 00:05:58,480 --> 00:06:01,479 Speaker 3: Correct, he's actly fuck week. 85 00:06:03,080 --> 00:06:05,440 Speaker 2: So I demonte didn't want me to talk about this, 86 00:06:05,560 --> 00:06:10,000 Speaker 2: but it's too remarkable, not too He's twenty seven and 87 00:06:10,040 --> 00:06:16,080 Speaker 2: eight documented twenty seven and eight through seven weeks. His 88 00:06:16,240 --> 00:06:19,800 Speaker 2: record by the week has been four and one, two 89 00:06:19,839 --> 00:06:23,480 Speaker 2: and three in week two, and then four and one, 90 00:06:23,920 --> 00:06:27,720 Speaker 2: four and one, four and one, five and oh four 91 00:06:27,760 --> 00:06:35,000 Speaker 2: and one correct. I'm reading this properly. Yeah, so it's 92 00:06:35,080 --> 00:06:38,920 Speaker 2: not just it's not just that the teasers you've hit 93 00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:42,400 Speaker 2: four in a row, but you're twenty what is twenty 94 00:06:42,520 --> 00:06:47,920 Speaker 2: seven and eight? That's twenty seven times three is seventy one? 95 00:06:48,839 --> 00:06:52,719 Speaker 2: The no, it's not twenty seven times three? Holy shit, 96 00:06:53,080 --> 00:06:56,599 Speaker 2: is eighty one? Twenty seven times three is eighty one. 97 00:06:56,960 --> 00:07:00,200 Speaker 2: So you're probably seventy eight percent against the spread to 98 00:07:00,240 --> 00:07:03,760 Speaker 2: check real quick, twenty seven over thirty five, seventy seven 99 00:07:03,839 --> 00:07:08,200 Speaker 2: percent against the spread. Second place in this contest is 100 00:07:08,320 --> 00:07:11,640 Speaker 2: Jaymack Who's twenty two and thirteen. Twenty two and thirteen, 101 00:07:11,680 --> 00:07:15,640 Speaker 2: by the way, is an awesome record. I'd killed for 102 00:07:15,720 --> 00:07:19,000 Speaker 2: it this year, You're twenty seven and eight. 103 00:07:19,920 --> 00:07:23,360 Speaker 3: So I'm betting Gods, I don't know what's going on 104 00:07:23,480 --> 00:07:27,560 Speaker 3: right now, but I'm hoping it continues. I Mean, my 105 00:07:27,640 --> 00:07:29,920 Speaker 3: biggest mistake in the last three or four weeks is 106 00:07:29,920 --> 00:07:32,680 Speaker 3: putting the Jets in anything. I mean, because I had 107 00:07:32,720 --> 00:07:34,840 Speaker 3: them in the blazon and then I had them in 108 00:07:35,640 --> 00:07:38,000 Speaker 3: a parlay that I actually put money on this weekend. 109 00:07:39,120 --> 00:07:43,679 Speaker 2: But listen, I'm just gonna tell America demanse last week 110 00:07:44,800 --> 00:07:47,600 Speaker 2: and then we'll get to Monday night football demand last 111 00:07:47,600 --> 00:07:51,720 Speaker 2: week text me, uh. 112 00:07:50,960 --> 00:07:54,280 Speaker 3: And that is put in the missed Yeah. 113 00:07:55,040 --> 00:07:58,000 Speaker 2: The hold on wait wit no, because you hit one line. 114 00:07:58,160 --> 00:08:01,280 Speaker 3: You yeah that one to two weeks ago. I hated 115 00:08:01,360 --> 00:08:03,480 Speaker 3: the one that I just placed. It was I think 116 00:08:03,520 --> 00:08:06,120 Speaker 3: it was like this second Yeah, was the one that 117 00:08:06,160 --> 00:08:08,680 Speaker 3: I saw.

It hit yes or this weekend Demonse 124 00:08:33,120 --> 00:08:36,280 Speaker 2: put this in. It was a seventeen to one six 125 00:08:36,400 --> 00:08:40,440 Speaker 2: leg parlay, Broncos minus two and a half, Chiefs money line, 126 00:08:40,600 --> 00:08:45,240 Speaker 2: Commander's money line, Bengals money line, Raven's money line, and 127 00:08:45,280 --> 00:08:48,160 Speaker 2: the Jets minus a point and a half. I mean, 128 00:08:49,760 --> 00:08:54,079 Speaker 2: it's an all time run. And I'm just proud. This is. 129 00:08:54,360 --> 00:08:57,960 Speaker 2: You know, I wasn't there for you to learn how 130 00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:01,040 Speaker 2: to walk, but this is. I imagine what it felt 131 00:09:01,080 --> 00:09:05,440 Speaker 2: like like seeing it from the beginning, like starting to 132 00:09:05,520 --> 00:09:07,040 Speaker 2: crawl and then like. 133 00:09:07,080 --> 00:09:10,840 Speaker 3: Stumbling over what this means and yeah, like oh. 134 00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:16,360 Speaker 2: Oheu and now and now you're twenty seven and eight 135 00:09:16,400 --> 00:09:20,520 Speaker 2: on the year. It's just fantastic. All right, let's get 136 00:09:20,559 --> 00:09:22,040 Speaker 2: to the actual show. Go ahead, bell. 137 00:09:22,800 --> 00:09:24,839 Speaker 3: Oh, so, after a hot start in the beginning of 138 00:09:24,880 --> 00:09:27,520 Speaker 3: that game, Baker and Tampa Bay and I keep up 139 00:09:27,520 --> 00:09:30,120 Speaker 3: with Lamar and the Ravens. They were humming and firing 140 00:09:30,160 --> 00:09:33,360 Speaker 3: on all cylinders. Lamar is now number one in MVP 141 00:09:33,480 --> 00:09:37,120 Speaker 3: Odd's by a sizeable margin. After another meteorcre performance from 142 00:09:37,160 --> 00:09:39,640 Speaker 3: your guy Mahomes. You said it would be hard for 143 00:09:39,760 --> 00:09:43,400 Speaker 3: Lamar to win another MVP due to voter fatigue, but 144 00:09:43,480 --> 00:09:45,720 Speaker 3: who else would they give it to besides Lamar? Right now? 145 00:09:46,320 --> 00:09:50,160 Speaker 2: Look, right now, Lamar is running away with it and 146 00:09:50,520 --> 00:09:56,080 Speaker 2: we're in a really so this is and I'm going 147 00:09:56,160 --> 00:09:59,600 Speaker 2: to this is going to be the story of today, 148 00:10:00,160 --> 00:10:04,800 Speaker 2: which is I kind of have a theory that I'm 149 00:10:04,840 --> 00:10:11,640 Speaker 2: going to end up being sports Twitter's main character today. 150 00:10:11,800 --> 00:10:14,680 Speaker 2: And you never want to be the main character on Twitter, 151 00:10:14,720 --> 00:10:18,840 Speaker 2: but sometimes sometimes you accidentally do it. Sometimes you know 152 00:10:18,880 --> 00:10:24,000 Speaker 2: it's going to happen, and sometimes you feel like you 153 00:10:24,080 --> 00:10:27,520 Speaker 2: have an obligation to do it, which is, I'm going 154 00:10:27,600 --> 00:10:32,960 Speaker 2: to be the only person to remember what everyone said 155 00:10:32,960 --> 00:10:38,880 Speaker 2: eight months ago, every single person who covers sports, which 156 00:10:39,040 --> 00:10:45,280 Speaker 2: was we're done giving Lamar MVPs until he doesn't fall 157 00:10:45,280 --> 00:10:52,440 Speaker 2: apart in the playoffs. That was that absolute consensus, accepted 158 00:10:52,480 --> 00:10:58,040 Speaker 2: opinion in January. And now we're seven games into the 159 00:10:58,120 --> 00:11:02,439 Speaker 2: year and Lamar's looking like he's going to win MVP, which, 160 00:11:02,520 --> 00:11:06,199 Speaker 2: by the way, I'm actually fine with. I don't actually 161 00:11:06,280 --> 00:11:09,320 Speaker 2: care about the NFL MVP the way I care about 162 00:11:09,320 --> 00:11:13,040 Speaker 2: the NBA MVP. I think one has much more historical 163 00:11:13,240 --> 00:11:17,319 Speaker 2: resonance than the other. But what I am not going 164 00:11:17,400 --> 00:11:22,240 Speaker 2: to allow for is everyone to pretend we have not 165 00:11:22,480 --> 00:11:26,960 Speaker 2: been here before. And I saw I'm gonna do this 166 00:11:27,040 --> 00:11:30,320 Speaker 2: on the show, and you know this in theory should 167 00:11:30,320 --> 00:11:34,280 Speaker 2: give Kevin Wilds a head start to think of a rebuttal. 168 00:11:34,320 --> 00:11:38,000 Speaker 2: But Kevin Wilds doesn't watch the podcast. I saw Kevin 169 00:11:38,040 --> 00:11:42,720 Speaker 2: Wilde's tweet yesterday that is a great one. But the 170 00:11:42,760 --> 00:11:48,400 Speaker 2: only problem is it word for word applied to last year. 171 00:11:48,720 --> 00:11:53,040 Speaker 2: From the Ravens perspective, Lamar's the MVP and playing better 172 00:11:53,080 --> 00:11:57,000 Speaker 2: than ever. Patrick Mahomes is playing the worst football of 173 00:11:57,000 --> 00:11:59,880 Speaker 2: his life. If Lamar can't make the Super Bowl this year, 174 00:12:00,040 --> 00:12:04,360 Speaker 2: it will literally never happen. This is literally what everyone 175 00:12:04,480 --> 00:12:07,120 Speaker 2: was saying at the end of last season and then 176 00:12:07,320 --> 00:12:10,560 Speaker 2: and last season, by the way, it's Mahomes was playing 177 00:12:10,600 --> 00:12:14,760 Speaker 2: worse than he is now and the Chiefs were losing. Oh, Nick, 178 00:12:15,200 --> 00:12:20,959 Speaker 2: Lamar nep didn't have a game like last night last year? 179 00:12:21,240 --> 00:12:24,160 Speaker 2: Two hundred and eighty yards, five touchdowns a one fifty 180 00:12:24,240 --> 00:12:28,400 Speaker 2: eight rating. Hey, Siri, what was the final game of 181 00:12:28,480 --> 00:12:33,000 Speaker 2: Lamar jackson season last year? Oh, three hundred and twenty yards, 182 00:12:33,040 --> 00:12:36,640 Speaker 2: five touchdowns a one fifty eight rating. The exact thing 183 00:12:36,720 --> 00:12:41,320 Speaker 2: he did yesterday as many touchdowns as in completions more 184 00:12:41,360 --> 00:12:45,800 Speaker 2: than ten yards per attempt. Guys, we've been here before. 185 00:12:46,160 --> 00:12:49,120 Speaker 2: Now I can hold upple thoughts in my head at 186 00:12:49,160 --> 00:12:51,319 Speaker 2: one time. What'd you say, go ahead. 187 00:12:51,040 --> 00:12:52,760 Speaker 3: To the new year. We've been here before. But I 188 00:12:52,760 --> 00:12:54,800 Speaker 3: think this team is a little bit more complete. No, 189 00:12:54,960 --> 00:12:58,160 Speaker 3: the defense isn't great, but Derrick Henry's there and. 190 00:12:59,160 --> 00:13:03,120 Speaker 2: Eric Henry is that. But the defense is far worse 191 00:13:03,800 --> 00:13:06,240 Speaker 2: last years. So I'm gonna push back on you on 192 00:13:06,320 --> 00:13:08,920 Speaker 2: this now. By the way, here's gonna be the downside 193 00:13:09,200 --> 00:13:12,520 Speaker 2: to you being America's sharpest football better no more kid 194 00:13:12,520 --> 00:13:15,000 Speaker 2: gloves on some of these football arguments. If you're gonna 195 00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:16,720 Speaker 2: beat me in picks, I'm gonna have to beat you 196 00:13:16,760 --> 00:13:20,640 Speaker 2: in some of these arguments. You can't say they're more 197 00:13:20,760 --> 00:13:24,360 Speaker 2: complete team. You can say they're a scarier offense. But 198 00:13:24,559 --> 00:13:27,800 Speaker 2: last year they had the best defense in football to 199 00:13:27,920 --> 00:13:31,160 Speaker 2: go along with this offense. This year they the offense 200 00:13:31,240 --> 00:13:35,640 Speaker 2: is even better, but the defense is as of this moment, 201 00:13:36,080 --> 00:13:39,280 Speaker 2: not nearly the caliber it was last year. So again, 202 00:13:39,600 --> 00:13:42,120 Speaker 2: I want to make this clear. I'm fine with Lamar 203 00:13:42,200 --> 00:13:46,240 Speaker 2: winning MVP. I'm also fine with having a real discussion 204 00:13:46,840 --> 00:13:51,520 Speaker 2: of is where does Lamar Jackson rank on the all 205 00:13:51,720 --> 00:13:57,640 Speaker 2: time regular season quarterbacks list? Because his winning percentage is unbelievable, 206 00:13:57,960 --> 00:14:02,960 Speaker 2: His numbers, his the numbers are weird because he's never 207 00:14:03,200 --> 00:14:08,080 Speaker 2: thrown for four thousand yards and he's only thrown for 208 00:14:08,240 --> 00:14:12,360 Speaker 2: thirty five hundred yards once. But his passer rating is great, 209 00:14:12,720 --> 00:14:16,320 Speaker 2: his efficiency is great, his yards per attempt is great, 210 00:14:16,600 --> 00:14:20,440 Speaker 2: his touchdown intercession ratio is great. And obviously he adds 211 00:14:20,480 --> 00:14:24,520 Speaker 2: this amazing running threat. But and this is what is 212 00:14:24,600 --> 00:14:29,600 Speaker 2: going to make me sadly the main character of sports 213 00:14:29,640 --> 00:14:36,040 Speaker 2: Twitter today. None of this gives me faith that he 214 00:14:36,160 --> 00:14:41,320 Speaker 2: will be anything like this in the playoffs. And if 215 00:14:41,320 --> 00:14:43,760 Speaker 2: you want to say, then why play the games? What's 216 00:14:43,800 --> 00:14:48,680 Speaker 2: the point? It's totally fair response. And my answer is, 217 00:14:48,840 --> 00:14:53,320 Speaker 2: and again I feel like a jerk, and the listeners 218 00:14:53,320 --> 00:14:55,400 Speaker 2: and viewers might be saying, it's because you're being a jerk. 219 00:14:55,720 --> 00:14:59,320 Speaker 2: I want to make this clear. He has been sensational 220 00:14:59,440 --> 00:15:04,520 Speaker 2: this year. I think he has been dramatically better than 221 00:15:04,560 --> 00:15:08,600 Speaker 2: he was last year. Last year I thought I didn't 222 00:15:08,720 --> 00:15:11,520 Speaker 2: I didn't care that he won MVP, but I didn't 223 00:15:11,600 --> 00:15:14,800 Speaker 2: love that it was to me, it was like, okay, 224 00:15:14,960 --> 00:15:16,960 Speaker 2: the Ravens are the best team, so I guess it's 225 00:15:16,960 --> 00:15:20,520 Speaker 2: got to go to their quarterback. Like I didn't. I took. 226 00:15:21,120 --> 00:15:23,480 Speaker 2: I didn't love it, but I didn't really care because 227 00:15:23,480 --> 00:15:26,720 Speaker 2: there wasn't anybody else that took a stranglehold of it. 228 00:15:26,880 --> 00:15:30,240 Speaker 2: Dak didn't Purty fell apart at the end. I liked 229 00:15:30,360 --> 00:15:33,040 Speaker 2: Christian McCaffrey, but he is a running back, like there's 230 00:15:33,080 --> 00:15:36,960 Speaker 2: a lot of So it was fine this year. The 231 00:15:37,040 --> 00:15:41,120 Speaker 2: last five weeks in particular, he is playing close to 232 00:15:41,360 --> 00:15:46,280 Speaker 2: perfect football. In fact, what is what are Lamar's numbers 233 00:15:46,600 --> 00:15:49,800 Speaker 2: the last five weeks? So I and I'll I'm gonna 234 00:15:49,800 --> 00:15:53,320 Speaker 2: tell it to you real quick. Last five weeks, Lamar Jackson, 235 00:15:54,880 --> 00:15:58,560 Speaker 2: He's got to be completing over seventy percent of his 236 00:15:58,680 --> 00:16:01,440 Speaker 2: passes and his ratings gotta be in the one thirties. 237 00:16:01,680 --> 00:16:05,560 Speaker 2: So I'm gonna pop it up right now because and 238 00:16:05,600 --> 00:16:08,680 Speaker 2: he's probably averaging two hundred I'm just talking about passing 239 00:16:08,920 --> 00:16:11,800 Speaker 2: two hundred and fifty yards a game, so the damn 240 00:16:11,840 --> 00:16:14,400 Speaker 2: Football Reference will let me do it in quickly. But 241 00:16:14,520 --> 00:16:19,480 Speaker 2: he has thirteen touchdowns one pick. Gotta be a rating 242 00:16:19,560 --> 00:16:24,080 Speaker 2: in the one thirties. Over two hundred and thirty yards 243 00:16:24,120 --> 00:16:26,800 Speaker 2: a game passing and everything he's doing on the ground. 244 00:16:28,120 --> 00:16:31,280 Speaker 2: He's playing as well as you can play over the 245 00:16:31,360 --> 00:16:36,800 Speaker 2: last five weeks, and last night he was absolutely brilliant, 246 00:16:37,560 --> 00:16:46,040 Speaker 2: Absolutely brilliant. I still okay, here's the numbers over the 247 00:16:46,080 --> 00:16:48,760 Speaker 2: last five weeks. I got it, finally, two hundred and 248 00:16:48,760 --> 00:16:53,880 Speaker 2: fifty eight passing yards a game, thirteen touchdowns, one pick a, 249 00:16:53,960 --> 00:16:59,160 Speaker 2: one thirty seven rating, seventy two percent completions, and has 250 00:16:59,280 --> 00:17:03,280 Speaker 2: added sixty or fifty seven yards a game rushing and 251 00:17:03,360 --> 00:17:06,120 Speaker 2: two touchdowns, So a total of three hundred and five 252 00:17:06,200 --> 00:17:10,359 Speaker 2: total yards per game, seventy two percent completions, ten and 253 00:17:10,400 --> 00:17:12,560 Speaker 2: a half yards per attempt, five and a half yards 254 00:17:12,560 --> 00:17:20,640 Speaker 2: per rush, thirteen or fifteen total touchdowns, one interception, and 255 00:17:20,880 --> 00:17:28,560 Speaker 2: three fumbles lost. So nobody, nobody can question how good 256 00:17:28,560 --> 00:17:37,119 Speaker 2: he's been. Everyone has not only a right, I would argue, 257 00:17:37,720 --> 00:17:42,760 Speaker 2: if you're going to be consistent with how we talk 258 00:17:42,840 --> 00:17:49,040 Speaker 2: about athletes, has an obligation to be highly skeptical that 259 00:17:49,119 --> 00:17:52,840 Speaker 2: he will be anything like this in the playoffs. And 260 00:17:52,880 --> 00:17:54,960 Speaker 2: if you want to say no, it's fair to do 261 00:17:55,040 --> 00:17:58,200 Speaker 2: that to James Harden and Joe el embiid to first 262 00:17:58,280 --> 00:18:02,360 Speaker 2: ballot Hall of famers to league MVPs two all time 263 00:18:02,440 --> 00:18:06,040 Speaker 2: regular season guys, but unfair to do it to Lamar Jackson. 264 00:18:06,440 --> 00:18:09,680 Speaker 2: I just disagree with you, and he's not the same 265 00:18:09,840 --> 00:18:13,800 Speaker 2: caliber of player. But every of you want to be like, well, 266 00:18:13,840 --> 00:18:19,240 Speaker 2: basketball is different than football. Fine, everyone does this exact 267 00:18:19,480 --> 00:18:24,520 Speaker 2: math to Dak Prescott, everyone and last year who came 268 00:18:24,600 --> 00:18:28,240 Speaker 2: in second in MVP to Lamar, Dak Prescott so and 269 00:18:28,320 --> 00:18:29,640 Speaker 2: Dak's and I having a great year, so it doesn't 270 00:18:29,680 --> 00:18:32,600 Speaker 2: apply this year. But I'm saying, if Dak right now 271 00:18:33,359 --> 00:18:36,360 Speaker 2: had these numbers, demons, let me ask, if he had 272 00:18:36,400 --> 00:18:39,919 Speaker 2: these numbers and was looking like League MVP, do you 273 00:18:40,160 --> 00:18:44,119 Speaker 2: think the second clause of the conversation would be but 274 00:18:45,400 --> 00:18:47,240 Speaker 2: we got to see him do it in the playoffs 275 00:18:48,119 --> 00:18:50,600 Speaker 2: or just be like man, time to give this man 276 00:18:50,640 --> 00:18:51,320 Speaker 2: his flowers? 277 00:18:52,080 --> 00:18:54,520 Speaker 3: No, one thousand percent, Dik gets that same rep. But 278 00:18:54,720 --> 00:18:58,159 Speaker 3: I do think people would be easier, easier hand it 279 00:18:58,200 --> 00:19:02,119 Speaker 3: off to Dak Prescott getting it. But yeah, not a 280 00:19:02,160 --> 00:19:03,200 Speaker 3: thousand percent. 281 00:19:03,960 --> 00:19:07,080 Speaker 2: So do you listen? I right now, the MVP odds 282 00:19:07,119 --> 00:19:10,280 Speaker 2: Lamar is a big favorite. He's plus two to twenty five. 283 00:19:10,720 --> 00:19:13,040 Speaker 2: And the reason he's a big favorite one is not 284 00:19:13,080 --> 00:19:15,760 Speaker 2: only because he's been brilliant, But because the guys in 285 00:19:15,920 --> 00:19:20,600 Speaker 2: second and third are having really odd years, Mahomes makes 286 00:19:20,640 --> 00:19:24,639 Speaker 2: all these clutch plays and the teams play the hardest 287 00:19:24,680 --> 00:19:28,920 Speaker 2: schedule and they're undefeated, but his numbers are awful. Josh 288 00:19:29,000 --> 00:19:34,000 Speaker 2: Allen has totally stopped turning the ball over, just doesn't 289 00:19:34,000 --> 00:19:36,440 Speaker 2: do it after it being a huge problem last year 290 00:19:36,800 --> 00:19:40,560 Speaker 2: or throughout his career. But three of his games this 291 00:19:40,720 --> 00:19:43,879 Speaker 2: year he's been or two of his games, pardon me, 292 00:19:44,320 --> 00:19:46,959 Speaker 2: had been two of the worst games of his career, 293 00:19:47,600 --> 00:19:50,000 Speaker 2: So you know what I mean, he's in a weird spot. 294 00:19:50,200 --> 00:19:54,600 Speaker 2: And then there's your guy Demons Jared Goff, who has 295 00:19:54,760 --> 00:19:57,800 Speaker 2: a real case to be made because he's been just 296 00:19:57,880 --> 00:20:00,760 Speaker 2: as hot as Lamar since the first two weeks of 297 00:20:00,800 --> 00:20:04,639 Speaker 2: the year. Both those guys have been brilliant since the 298 00:20:04,680 --> 00:20:06,800 Speaker 2: opening two weeks of the year, yea. 299 00:20:08,920 --> 00:20:10,600 Speaker 3: Was looking great. I mean one of those losses was 300 00:20:10,640 --> 00:20:12,840 Speaker 3: to the Raiders five straight. 301 00:20:13,000 --> 00:20:16,680 Speaker 2: Yeah, to the Raiders when they were up to ten 302 00:20:16,720 --> 00:20:22,480 Speaker 2: points in the fourth quarter. So the I do want 303 00:20:22,520 --> 00:20:26,600 Speaker 2: to say what to the Bucks In one second, I 304 00:20:26,600 --> 00:20:30,840 Speaker 2: want to say one thing about about Baltimore the team, 305 00:20:30,960 --> 00:20:38,200 Speaker 2: And I said this for the year and a Classic one. 306 00:20:38,320 --> 00:20:44,640 Speaker 2: Sorry to say it instantly correct, It was totally unfair 307 00:20:44,720 --> 00:20:48,480 Speaker 2: for the NFL to make the AFC Championship Game rematch 308 00:20:48,640 --> 00:20:54,320 Speaker 2: week one because, as I said then, and it's being 309 00:20:54,359 --> 00:21:00,480 Speaker 2: proven out now, if they put Baltimore in a position 310 00:21:01,240 --> 00:21:06,360 Speaker 2: where if they lose that game, there is nothing they 311 00:21:06,440 --> 00:21:09,960 Speaker 2: can do the rest of the regular season to feel 312 00:21:10,040 --> 00:21:15,120 Speaker 2: fully confident going into this postseason. And now what you've 313 00:21:15,160 --> 00:21:17,719 Speaker 2: seen is they lost that game, there was a bit 314 00:21:17,720 --> 00:21:21,000 Speaker 2: of a hangover effect. They lose the next game. Since then, 315 00:21:21,400 --> 00:21:27,920 Speaker 2: they've been brilliant, But if we are being honest, there 316 00:21:28,000 --> 00:21:31,040 Speaker 2: is this cloud looming over them, which is the Chiefs. 317 00:21:32,480 --> 00:21:34,480 Speaker 2: I think it would have been better for the league 318 00:21:34,560 --> 00:21:38,000 Speaker 2: and for them if that was a later season matchup. 319 00:21:38,480 --> 00:21:40,080 Speaker 2: Now for them, it would have been way better because 320 00:21:40,119 --> 00:21:43,000 Speaker 2: the Chiefs are so banged up, and because in that 321 00:21:43,080 --> 00:21:45,920 Speaker 2: first game they didn't seem to be fully invested yet 322 00:21:45,960 --> 00:21:49,040 Speaker 2: in Derrick Henry or the Chiefs just have the best 323 00:21:49,080 --> 00:21:51,280 Speaker 2: run defense in the NFL, which they of course do. 324 00:21:52,720 --> 00:21:56,399 Speaker 2: But it's just a weird. Yeah, but going on with 325 00:21:56,520 --> 00:21:59,160 Speaker 2: Baltimore this year, all right now? 326 00:21:59,160 --> 00:22:02,120 Speaker 3: The follow up the month, Yeah, so the Bucks, they 327 00:22:02,160 --> 00:22:04,840 Speaker 3: obviously had a really good start for their season that 328 00:22:04,880 --> 00:22:07,960 Speaker 3: they're now down to their top top two I receivers. 329 00:22:08,200 --> 00:22:10,280 Speaker 3: Do you think but do you think Baker has enough 330 00:22:10,320 --> 00:22:13,760 Speaker 3: to get it done with the rest of this roster man? 331 00:22:14,480 --> 00:22:18,080 Speaker 2: Yesterday was as devastating of a loss as a team 332 00:22:18,160 --> 00:22:21,080 Speaker 2: can suffer. And I don't know how closely people were 333 00:22:21,080 --> 00:22:24,760 Speaker 2: watching this game, Demanse. What you look confused about something. 334 00:22:24,640 --> 00:22:26,800 Speaker 3: Really is devastating as a losses. They could it because 335 00:22:26,800 --> 00:22:29,520 Speaker 3: they came out to oh. 336 00:22:28,880 --> 00:22:36,680 Speaker 2: Like no, because of because because of the I'm saying 337 00:22:36,720 --> 00:22:43,880 Speaker 2: that the context of how it was so see it. Well, 338 00:22:43,920 --> 00:22:46,000 Speaker 2: there's just so many pieces to it. So if people 339 00:22:46,040 --> 00:22:49,960 Speaker 2: didn't see it. The Bucks go down, score a touchdown 340 00:22:50,040 --> 00:22:53,399 Speaker 2: seven to nothing. They then get a stop, go down, 341 00:22:53,800 --> 00:22:58,680 Speaker 2: immediately score another touchdown. It's called off due to a 342 00:22:59,040 --> 00:23:02,240 Speaker 2: very shaky holding penalty, but it would have been fourteen 343 00:23:02,240 --> 00:23:08,920 Speaker 2: to nothing, so it should be fourteen to nothing. Everyone's healthy. Instead, 344 00:23:09,640 --> 00:23:13,720 Speaker 2: they then have the holding penalty, throw a pass to 345 00:23:13,800 --> 00:23:17,120 Speaker 2: Mike Evans that is a perfect not a perfect pass, 346 00:23:17,160 --> 00:23:21,080 Speaker 2: but it could be caught. Evans drops it and it 347 00:23:21,119 --> 00:23:25,280 Speaker 2: looks like pulls his hamstring. So now instead of being 348 00:23:25,359 --> 00:23:28,320 Speaker 2: up fourteen to nothing, you're up ten to nothing and 349 00:23:28,400 --> 00:23:31,400 Speaker 2: Mike Evans, who came into the game. Gimpy is out. 350 00:23:32,680 --> 00:23:36,320 Speaker 2: You then that next time down have another chance to score. 351 00:23:36,680 --> 00:23:40,159 Speaker 2: Baker throws a terrible interception in the end zone and 352 00:23:40,240 --> 00:23:45,000 Speaker 2: it's off to the race's Baltimore. You then have kind 353 00:23:45,040 --> 00:23:49,280 Speaker 2: of a fake comeback. Lamar makes a his one bad 354 00:23:49,480 --> 00:23:53,119 Speaker 2: mistake of the game, the backwards pass. They score a touchdown. 355 00:23:53,400 --> 00:23:56,880 Speaker 2: They then get an onside kick, score a touchdown, and 356 00:23:56,960 --> 00:23:59,919 Speaker 2: now find themselves and I'll defend Todd Bowles on this 357 00:24:00,920 --> 00:24:04,560 Speaker 2: down ten with a minute left. The game is not over. 358 00:24:05,440 --> 00:24:10,480 Speaker 2: You're in trouble, you're a huge, huge, huge dog, but 359 00:24:11,640 --> 00:24:14,560 Speaker 2: it's not over, and you've recovered an on side kick, 360 00:24:15,240 --> 00:24:19,080 Speaker 2: so you should be trying to win if you're My 361 00:24:19,240 --> 00:24:24,200 Speaker 2: general rule of thumb is if you are down less 362 00:24:24,240 --> 00:24:29,159 Speaker 2: than three scores and there is more than twenty seconds left, 363 00:24:29,440 --> 00:24:33,400 Speaker 2: the game's not over. I can you know what I 364 00:24:33,119 --> 00:24:37,520 Speaker 2: If the situation exists where field goal, touchdown or touchdown 365 00:24:37,560 --> 00:24:41,520 Speaker 2: field goal or even touchdown touchdown can win or tie 366 00:24:41,600 --> 00:24:45,119 Speaker 2: you the game and you have a reasonable amount of 367 00:24:45,200 --> 00:24:47,880 Speaker 2: time left, you should still be trying. And so that's 368 00:24:47,880 --> 00:24:50,480 Speaker 2: what they did. So I don't blame Todd Bowles for 369 00:24:50,600 --> 00:24:53,720 Speaker 2: leaving his guys, and if they were down seventeen it 370 00:24:53,760 --> 00:24:56,160 Speaker 2: would be outrageous, but down. 371 00:24:56,000 --> 00:24:58,600 Speaker 3: Two scores think they were actually doing something. 372 00:25:00,240 --> 00:25:04,760 Speaker 2: Moving the ball right, And so I thought what I 373 00:25:04,840 --> 00:25:07,600 Speaker 2: thought before Godwin got hurt was gonna happen is I 374 00:25:07,640 --> 00:25:11,040 Speaker 2: was like, Oh, they are going to kick a field 375 00:25:11,040 --> 00:25:13,640 Speaker 2: goal to make it a seven point game and then 376 00:25:13,680 --> 00:25:16,119 Speaker 2: go for an on side kick with thirty seconds left, 377 00:25:16,600 --> 00:25:19,520 Speaker 2: and again a million things have to happen, but you're 378 00:25:19,520 --> 00:25:23,000 Speaker 2: not dead. So they left the guys in, so I didn't. 379 00:25:23,040 --> 00:25:26,160 Speaker 2: And I'm watching closely also because I have Tampa plus 380 00:25:26,200 --> 00:25:30,239 Speaker 2: three and a half on the show Picks, So I 381 00:25:30,359 --> 00:25:32,960 Speaker 2: when they're down ten, I'm like, if they don't kick 382 00:25:33,000 --> 00:25:35,760 Speaker 2: the field goal, if they just go score, and then 383 00:25:35,800 --> 00:25:38,760 Speaker 2: now they're down three, and then on like I get 384 00:25:38,800 --> 00:25:44,040 Speaker 2: a weird back door cover and Godwin suffers a terrible 385 00:25:44,080 --> 00:25:47,520 Speaker 2: ankle injury. So now you have no Evangs, you have 386 00:25:47,560 --> 00:25:49,760 Speaker 2: no God. When your defense hasn't been good all year 387 00:25:49,800 --> 00:25:53,720 Speaker 2: because of the injuries, you're your real, real, real trouble. 388 00:25:54,560 --> 00:25:59,600 Speaker 2: And do I think that they could still make the playoffs? 389 00:25:59,720 --> 00:26:05,320 Speaker 2: I actually do because now their next three you have 390 00:26:05,359 --> 00:26:10,680 Speaker 2: the Falcons huge game and then Chiefs Niners. But then 391 00:26:10,720 --> 00:26:19,160 Speaker 2: after that, Demons. Here's what they have Giants, Panthers, Raiders, Chargers, Cowboys, Panthers, Saints. 392 00:26:20,359 --> 00:26:25,000 Speaker 2: So you have four games, five games against some of 393 00:26:25,000 --> 00:26:28,679 Speaker 2: the worst teams in football, Giants, Panthers, Raiders, Saints. You 394 00:26:28,720 --> 00:26:32,080 Speaker 2: already have four wins. So I don't think they're dead, 395 00:26:32,720 --> 00:26:35,160 Speaker 2: but I think that any hopes they had of having 396 00:26:35,240 --> 00:26:39,359 Speaker 2: a great season are dead with no godwin, and we 397 00:26:39,440 --> 00:26:42,160 Speaker 2: don't know how long Mike Evans is gonna be outful. 398 00:26:42,480 --> 00:26:45,040 Speaker 2: So that's where I'm at. That was very long first 399 00:26:45,040 --> 00:26:47,160 Speaker 2: few topics, and we haven't even gotten to the game 400 00:26:47,160 --> 00:26:48,480 Speaker 2: of the week. So go ahead. 401 00:26:49,080 --> 00:26:52,080 Speaker 3: Yeah. So in that Super Bowl rematch, you know, Kansas 402 00:26:52,119 --> 00:26:55,720 Speaker 3: City obviously pulled out another improbable dub San Francisco was 403 00:26:55,760 --> 00:26:58,280 Speaker 3: banged up with still might have more complete roster than 404 00:26:58,359 --> 00:27:01,360 Speaker 3: Kansas City with the people that were Uh, these unlikely 405 00:27:01,400 --> 00:27:03,720 Speaker 3: wins just keep stacking up. How what's longer do you 406 00:27:03,720 --> 00:27:05,840 Speaker 3: think the Chiefs can stack can keep doing this? 407 00:27:08,760 --> 00:27:11,880 Speaker 2: I mean, I hate everything about the question you just asked. 408 00:27:12,720 --> 00:27:18,800 Speaker 2: There's nothing unlikely about it. Here's here's what Here's what 409 00:27:18,920 --> 00:27:22,880 Speaker 2: I what is frustrating to me about the discourse surrounding 410 00:27:22,920 --> 00:27:29,680 Speaker 2: the Chiefs. They've played six games. How many of those games, Demanse, 411 00:27:30,240 --> 00:27:34,199 Speaker 2: do you think they trailed for even one second in 412 00:27:34,240 --> 00:27:37,879 Speaker 2: the fourth quarter of those six? Improbable? 413 00:27:38,040 --> 00:27:40,800 Speaker 3: Lucky No. 414 00:27:40,880 --> 00:27:46,480 Speaker 2: One the Cincinnati game, because remember the Cincinnati game. Yeah, yeah, 415 00:27:46,960 --> 00:27:57,679 Speaker 2: the the Ravens, Saints, Falcons Niners game. They led every 416 00:27:57,800 --> 00:28:01,159 Speaker 2: second of the fourth quarter their Charge game, it was 417 00:28:01,280 --> 00:28:03,879 Speaker 2: briefly tied, and then they led the rest of the 418 00:28:03,920 --> 00:28:06,399 Speaker 2: fourth quarter. And in the Bengals game they had to 419 00:28:06,440 --> 00:28:11,760 Speaker 2: pull it out. It's not improbable for the team with 420 00:28:11,880 --> 00:28:15,719 Speaker 2: the league's best defense, the league's best coach, and also 421 00:28:16,200 --> 00:28:19,480 Speaker 2: the league's best quarterback, even though he's not playing that way, 422 00:28:19,840 --> 00:28:22,720 Speaker 2: except for, of course, in the biggest moments of the game, 423 00:28:23,560 --> 00:28:27,280 Speaker 2: where on fourth and two, fourth and goal from the two, 424 00:28:27,960 --> 00:28:31,200 Speaker 2: up only two points in the fourth quarter, he truck 425 00:28:31,280 --> 00:28:35,200 Speaker 2: sticks to safety to assault the game away. That team 426 00:28:35,240 --> 00:28:38,720 Speaker 2: is supposed to win. The two time defending champion on 427 00:28:38,760 --> 00:28:41,400 Speaker 2: a twelve game winning streak is supposed to win games. 428 00:28:41,760 --> 00:28:46,240 Speaker 2: What's improbable is that Vegas continues to make Patrick Mahomes 429 00:28:46,280 --> 00:28:52,440 Speaker 2: an underdog. What is offensive is that the Brock Purdy 430 00:28:52,920 --> 00:28:56,239 Speaker 2: has never been an underdog once in his career, and 431 00:28:56,320 --> 00:29:00,120 Speaker 2: Patrick Mahomes has been an underdog fourteen times. 432 00:29:00,080 --> 00:29:03,440 Speaker 3: Stating to say that again. 433 00:29:04,640 --> 00:29:07,880 Speaker 2: The San Francisco forty nine ers have not been an 434 00:29:08,000 --> 00:29:11,520 Speaker 2: underdog in a single game they have played since Rock 435 00:29:11,560 --> 00:29:16,120 Speaker 2: Purty took over. Meanwhile, the Kansas City Chiefs have been 436 00:29:16,120 --> 00:29:24,240 Speaker 2: an underdog fourteen times in Patrick Mahomes' career, including five 437 00:29:24,680 --> 00:29:29,360 Speaker 2: of their last six playoff games they were underdogs. They 438 00:29:29,360 --> 00:29:33,959 Speaker 2: of course won all of those. So I mean Mahomes is, 439 00:29:34,280 --> 00:29:39,840 Speaker 2: among other things, the greatest underdog quarterback in NFL history. 440 00:29:40,200 --> 00:29:44,920 Speaker 2: The numbers are insane. And also he's twelve one and 441 00:29:45,200 --> 00:29:51,040 Speaker 2: one against the spread and eleven and three now straight up, 442 00:29:51,800 --> 00:29:53,120 Speaker 2: So wait, is that right? 443 00:29:53,400 --> 00:29:53,680 Speaker 3: He was? 444 00:29:53,800 --> 00:29:56,800 Speaker 2: Yeah, eleven and three straight up, twelve to one and 445 00:29:56,880 --> 00:30:00,280 Speaker 2: one against the spread another game where they were underdog, 446 00:30:00,440 --> 00:30:04,600 Speaker 2: And so I the I don't know what to tell 447 00:30:04,640 --> 00:30:08,920 Speaker 2: you other than and I know today that the conversation 448 00:30:09,080 --> 00:30:13,520 Speaker 2: today is going to be like It's just I get 449 00:30:13,600 --> 00:30:17,160 Speaker 2: so irritated about how the Chiefs are discussed because people 450 00:30:17,200 --> 00:30:20,800 Speaker 2: want the Chiefs to be something they're not. They're like, Ah, 451 00:30:20,840 --> 00:30:27,120 Speaker 2: they're boring, Oh they're lucky, Oh they're you know, the guys. 452 00:30:28,280 --> 00:30:31,920 Speaker 2: They have played the league's hardest schedule. The quarterback that 453 00:30:32,080 --> 00:30:35,560 Speaker 2: everyone acknowledges is either the best or the second best 454 00:30:35,560 --> 00:30:39,560 Speaker 2: player the league has ever seen, has played poorly through 455 00:30:39,800 --> 00:30:44,040 Speaker 2: major stretches of this season. They have suffered as many 456 00:30:44,120 --> 00:30:49,120 Speaker 2: injuries to key players as any team in the league, 457 00:30:49,200 --> 00:30:53,680 Speaker 2: and they are winning these games handily. I oh, what 458 00:30:53,720 --> 00:30:58,440 Speaker 2: do you mean they're winning handily. They led the Ravens 459 00:30:58,480 --> 00:31:02,480 Speaker 2: for every second of the second half. The Ravens did 460 00:31:02,560 --> 00:31:06,560 Speaker 2: have a chance at the end to tie it on 461 00:31:06,640 --> 00:31:09,959 Speaker 2: the final play of the game, the Bengals give them trouble. 462 00:31:10,040 --> 00:31:13,320 Speaker 2: Credit to the Bengals, and the Bengals almost won that 463 00:31:13,400 --> 00:31:16,680 Speaker 2: game until, of course, Mahomes, having played the worst game 464 00:31:16,880 --> 00:31:21,480 Speaker 2: of his career up to that point, arguably on fourth 465 00:31:21,520 --> 00:31:24,240 Speaker 2: and six through a perfect pass, it got called back 466 00:31:24,360 --> 00:31:26,680 Speaker 2: due to a questionable hold, even though, of course the 467 00:31:26,720 --> 00:31:28,800 Speaker 2: Chiefs get all the calls, And then on fourth and 468 00:31:28,880 --> 00:31:33,520 Speaker 2: sixteen Mahomes threw another perfect pass. The very next week 469 00:31:33,880 --> 00:31:39,320 Speaker 2: against Atlanta, they controlled every aspect of that game. The 470 00:31:39,480 --> 00:31:43,040 Speaker 2: very next week against the Chargers, they went down ten 471 00:31:43,120 --> 00:31:47,080 Speaker 2: to nothing instantly, then pitched to shutout and controlled that game. 472 00:31:47,360 --> 00:31:50,960 Speaker 2: The very next week against New Orleans, they controlled every 473 00:31:51,000 --> 00:31:54,880 Speaker 2: aspect of that game and yesterday or Sunday against the 474 00:31:54,920 --> 00:32:01,120 Speaker 2: defending NFC champion Niners, they led by double digits for 475 00:32:01,320 --> 00:32:05,600 Speaker 2: major stretches of the game and led by nine plus 476 00:32:05,960 --> 00:32:09,880 Speaker 2: for basically the entirety of the fourth quarter. What are 477 00:32:09,960 --> 00:32:12,600 Speaker 2: we talking about? So? 478 00:32:13,840 --> 00:32:14,000 Speaker 4: Uh? 479 00:32:15,240 --> 00:32:20,080 Speaker 2: I think that the Chiefs are demonstrably better than every team. 480 00:32:20,600 --> 00:32:23,720 Speaker 2: I hear a lot of people I respect saying, well, 481 00:32:23,760 --> 00:32:26,280 Speaker 2: we'll see about what happens in January, but right now, 482 00:32:26,360 --> 00:32:30,320 Speaker 2: Baltimore is clearly the best team. Okay. I mean, if 483 00:32:30,360 --> 00:32:34,280 Speaker 2: you want to say that, that's fine. I think it's 484 00:32:34,760 --> 00:32:40,200 Speaker 2: ridiculous to have that opinion, truly ridiculous to have that opinion, 485 00:32:42,160 --> 00:32:44,959 Speaker 2: But it's fine. People can have that opinion. And I 486 00:32:45,000 --> 00:32:48,360 Speaker 2: hope that there's more spots where the Chiefs are underdogs 487 00:32:48,800 --> 00:32:50,720 Speaker 2: because they're incredibly profitable. 488 00:32:51,160 --> 00:32:53,800 Speaker 3: But do you think that will happen, like I know 489 00:32:53,880 --> 00:32:55,800 Speaker 3: you hope that, do you think that will actually happen 490 00:32:55,840 --> 00:32:56,800 Speaker 3: again for the rest of the year. 491 00:32:58,440 --> 00:33:02,600 Speaker 2: I think they'll be underdogs in Buffe Yes, Vegas doesn't 492 00:33:02,640 --> 00:33:07,280 Speaker 2: respect this team flatly. I think they'll be underdogs in Buffalo. 493 00:33:07,320 --> 00:33:10,000 Speaker 2: I don't think they'll be underdogs at home at any 494 00:33:10,080 --> 00:33:13,040 Speaker 2: point this year. But I also want people to understand 495 00:33:13,400 --> 00:33:17,200 Speaker 2: what is going to happen here. The Chiefs are gonna 496 00:33:17,240 --> 00:33:21,400 Speaker 2: go into that game against Buffalo nine and uh, they're 497 00:33:21,520 --> 00:33:25,200 Speaker 2: home for the Raiders. They're then I'm sorry, they're at 498 00:33:25,240 --> 00:33:28,880 Speaker 2: the Raiders. They're then home for Tampa. That Tampa game 499 00:33:29,360 --> 00:33:31,920 Speaker 2: would have been tough, but now it's gonna be no Godwin, 500 00:33:32,040 --> 00:33:36,240 Speaker 2: no Evans. And then they play the Broncos and so 501 00:33:36,320 --> 00:33:38,800 Speaker 2: they're gonna be nine and oh going into the Bills game. 502 00:33:39,320 --> 00:33:46,080 Speaker 2: And the other thing about this is, I the Chiefs 503 00:33:46,600 --> 00:33:50,000 Speaker 2: have had incredible, you know, brutal injuries all year. I 504 00:33:50,040 --> 00:33:54,360 Speaker 2: get it, but they have a if the Texans stumble 505 00:33:56,000 --> 00:34:02,200 Speaker 2: at any point, and if the Chiefs beat Buffalo in 506 00:34:02,240 --> 00:34:06,000 Speaker 2: a month, the Chiefs have a real chance to lock 507 00:34:06,120 --> 00:34:11,439 Speaker 2: up the number one seed historically early because they're right 508 00:34:11,520 --> 00:34:18,200 Speaker 2: now three games clear of Baltimore because Baltimore's got the 509 00:34:18,200 --> 00:34:20,880 Speaker 2: two losses, and if they finished with the same record, 510 00:34:20,960 --> 00:34:24,920 Speaker 2: the Chiefs get it. So like, let's just if the 511 00:34:25,040 --> 00:34:29,040 Speaker 2: Ravens go undefeated the rest of the way, in order 512 00:34:29,080 --> 00:34:30,719 Speaker 2: to be the one seed, the Chiefs have to lose 513 00:34:30,760 --> 00:34:33,520 Speaker 2: three times. Now, by the way, going into the year, 514 00:34:33,560 --> 00:34:35,720 Speaker 2: I did think the Chiefs were gonna lose three times 515 00:34:35,719 --> 00:34:38,760 Speaker 2: this year. So let's just say they do lose three times. 516 00:34:38,960 --> 00:34:43,160 Speaker 2: That means everyone else is gonna have to go undefeated. 517 00:34:43,560 --> 00:34:46,240 Speaker 2: Anyone that wants to be the one seed, it's gonna 518 00:34:46,239 --> 00:34:48,440 Speaker 2: have to go undefeated or beat The Chiefs had to 519 00:34:48,480 --> 00:34:50,880 Speaker 2: head and only lose once. So good luck. 520 00:34:51,800 --> 00:34:55,799 Speaker 3: But I are you scared that because I know in 521 00:34:55,800 --> 00:34:57,319 Speaker 3: the beginning of the years A couple of years ago 522 00:34:57,320 --> 00:34:59,920 Speaker 3: you were like, oh, twenty and zero, never a doubt, 523 00:35:00,040 --> 00:35:02,560 Speaker 3: won't lose a game, And then coming into this season, 524 00:35:02,600 --> 00:35:04,640 Speaker 3: you were like, they're not gonna go twenty and oh. 525 00:35:04,719 --> 00:35:07,160 Speaker 3: Whatever is that kind of on the board. Aren't you 526 00:35:07,200 --> 00:35:09,319 Speaker 3: thinking it might be possible that they do go twenty 527 00:35:09,360 --> 00:35:09,560 Speaker 3: and oh? 528 00:35:09,640 --> 00:35:13,759 Speaker 2: Or I don't regular goal with all the. 529 00:35:13,719 --> 00:35:15,799 Speaker 3: Games that they play it in the teams that they 530 00:35:15,840 --> 00:35:18,960 Speaker 3: have remaining, I mean, I get they have like rival reasons. 531 00:35:19,120 --> 00:35:24,040 Speaker 2: So here's the thing is this. I think that last 532 00:35:24,120 --> 00:35:26,360 Speaker 2: year I thought twenty and oh could be a goal 533 00:35:26,960 --> 00:35:30,960 Speaker 2: because you want to make sure you stay locked and 534 00:35:31,000 --> 00:35:36,320 Speaker 2: focused and have like this rabbit to chase. This year, 535 00:35:37,239 --> 00:35:41,359 Speaker 2: they have it and it's the three peat. We've seen 536 00:35:41,400 --> 00:35:45,200 Speaker 2: an undefeated season. We've seen a team go seven or 537 00:35:45,280 --> 00:35:48,480 Speaker 2: sixteen and oh, and then losing the Super Bowl. What 538 00:35:48,560 --> 00:35:53,279 Speaker 2: we've never seen is a three peat. And I like, 539 00:35:53,719 --> 00:35:57,400 Speaker 2: this is going to be an unpopular take, but I 540 00:35:57,520 --> 00:36:00,759 Speaker 2: would be absolutely fine with And I don't listen. I 541 00:36:00,800 --> 00:36:03,279 Speaker 2: think if I know the Chiefs, here's what I know. 542 00:36:04,160 --> 00:36:07,919 Speaker 2: They probably will lose that game in Buffalo, and they'll 543 00:36:07,960 --> 00:36:10,719 Speaker 2: lose a dumb one. I think they're gonna lose a 544 00:36:10,800 --> 00:36:13,400 Speaker 2: dumb game and a game the game in Buffalo. But 545 00:36:13,520 --> 00:36:18,680 Speaker 2: let's say I'm wrong, and let's say they start fifteen, 546 00:36:18,760 --> 00:36:22,040 Speaker 2: they beat the Texans, lock up the one seed, and 547 00:36:22,080 --> 00:36:26,239 Speaker 2: they're fifteen and zero. If they do that, I would 548 00:36:26,280 --> 00:36:29,680 Speaker 2: be totally fine with them resting players saying we don't 549 00:36:29,680 --> 00:36:33,040 Speaker 2: care about the fifth seventeen and zero. We're going for 550 00:36:33,120 --> 00:36:34,759 Speaker 2: a threepeat, all right. 551 00:36:34,840 --> 00:36:38,880 Speaker 3: Next Yeah, So it turns out Davante Adams was not 552 00:36:39,000 --> 00:36:41,879 Speaker 3: the cure for what the Jets needed. Rogers once again 553 00:36:41,960 --> 00:36:44,000 Speaker 3: played pretty badly and took the podium to put the 554 00:36:44,000 --> 00:36:46,719 Speaker 3: blame on somebody else. He said his teammates need to 555 00:36:46,719 --> 00:36:49,840 Speaker 3: stop listening to the media and keep faith in themselves. So, 556 00:36:49,960 --> 00:36:53,120 Speaker 3: right now, what is the Jets' biggest issue? Maybe Aaron 557 00:36:53,200 --> 00:36:55,200 Speaker 3: Rodgers was internalizing there. 558 00:36:57,760 --> 00:37:02,560 Speaker 2: I mean, I I did. It's actually I went back 559 00:37:02,560 --> 00:37:06,360 Speaker 2: and watched it that the rant I did yesterday on 560 00:37:06,440 --> 00:37:08,480 Speaker 2: the Jets, which was kind of impromptu. If you go 561 00:37:08,560 --> 00:37:11,680 Speaker 2: to the First Things First YouTube page is worth checking out. 562 00:37:11,760 --> 00:37:15,560 Speaker 2: If I don't say so myself, just because I'm so 563 00:37:15,760 --> 00:37:21,080 Speaker 2: exasperated and it's mostly off the cuff, so I don't 564 00:37:21,120 --> 00:37:24,560 Speaker 2: want to do that again. I'll be very clear on 565 00:37:24,600 --> 00:37:28,480 Speaker 2: this and concise. The problem with the Jets is the 566 00:37:28,520 --> 00:37:33,759 Speaker 2: same problem with the Las Vegas Raiders and the New 567 00:37:33,840 --> 00:37:39,480 Speaker 2: York Giants and the New Orleans Saints. They're not good. 568 00:37:40,600 --> 00:37:45,040 Speaker 2: And what frustrates me about the Jets commentary is everyone 569 00:37:45,600 --> 00:37:50,839 Speaker 2: is like trying to big brain figure out what's happening here, 570 00:37:51,200 --> 00:37:55,520 Speaker 2: and the answer is fucking nothing. They're bad. Teams are bad. 571 00:37:56,160 --> 00:38:01,200 Speaker 2: Like I'm so confused. Can someone crack this riddle as 572 00:38:01,200 --> 00:38:05,200 Speaker 2: to why a team that has a mediocre old offensive line, 573 00:38:05,520 --> 00:38:09,000 Speaker 2: that has the oldest quarterback in football who's also coming 574 00:38:09,000 --> 00:38:12,960 Speaker 2: off in Achilles, the worst leader in sports, and somewhat 575 00:38:13,040 --> 00:38:16,360 Speaker 2: you know, interested in football and somewhat interested in the 576 00:38:16,640 --> 00:38:19,120 Speaker 2: you know, the the history of the world and running 577 00:38:19,120 --> 00:38:24,399 Speaker 2: for vice president and recreational drugs, that that team who 578 00:38:24,480 --> 00:38:29,560 Speaker 2: fired their coach doesn't have a real offensive coordinator. Uh 579 00:38:30,280 --> 00:38:33,759 Speaker 2: wasn't a thirty two year old wide receiver away? Can 580 00:38:33,920 --> 00:38:42,920 Speaker 2: someone solve this mystery? Guys? It's nobody says what's wrong 581 00:38:43,000 --> 00:38:48,040 Speaker 2: with the Giants? Can someone figure it out? We're just like, oh, 582 00:38:48,080 --> 00:38:53,600 Speaker 2: they're bad. Bad teams are bad, guys, Can someone can? 583 00:38:53,840 --> 00:38:57,560 Speaker 2: We need to spend time discussing why the Raiders are 584 00:38:57,560 --> 00:38:59,520 Speaker 2: two and five? You know why the Raiders are two 585 00:38:59,560 --> 00:39:03,719 Speaker 2: and five because they're a two win caliber team with 586 00:39:03,880 --> 00:39:10,240 Speaker 2: the Jets. People are like, well, the talent, I mean, 587 00:39:10,880 --> 00:39:16,320 Speaker 2: they've got some talented players. Max Crosby's pretty awesome. DeVante 588 00:39:16,360 --> 00:39:19,160 Speaker 2: Adams was one of the talented players on the Raiders. 589 00:39:19,840 --> 00:39:23,239 Speaker 2: He's like, I can't in my career this way. Okay, 590 00:39:23,760 --> 00:39:25,720 Speaker 2: so you're just gonna end it on the East Coast 591 00:39:25,760 --> 00:39:29,520 Speaker 2: in the exact same way, Like, I mean, I don't, 592 00:39:30,120 --> 00:39:36,440 Speaker 2: I just I don't got it. People are like Woody 593 00:39:36,640 --> 00:39:40,960 Speaker 2: Johnson was shaken to his core by the loss to 594 00:39:41,000 --> 00:39:45,760 Speaker 2: the Broncos. Why, you know what, the Broncos are better 595 00:39:45,880 --> 00:39:50,720 Speaker 2: than you. You know what, the Broncos are a decent team. 596 00:39:51,040 --> 00:39:55,360 Speaker 2: You know what you are a bad team. Bad teams 597 00:39:55,400 --> 00:40:00,640 Speaker 2: lose games. I mean it's just maddening, and I just 598 00:40:00,760 --> 00:40:06,960 Speaker 2: I am so sick of people trying to explain it. Nobody. 599 00:40:07,239 --> 00:40:11,960 Speaker 2: We don't do this with any other team. The NBA 600 00:40:12,160 --> 00:40:15,360 Speaker 2: starts tonight. Oddly, this is something that's not on a 601 00:40:15,360 --> 00:40:17,719 Speaker 2: lot of people's radar. We'll talk about it later. But 602 00:40:17,880 --> 00:40:21,560 Speaker 2: you know what I didn't get a lot of last 603 00:40:21,640 --> 00:40:27,400 Speaker 2: year during the NBA regular season. What's going on with 604 00:40:27,440 --> 00:40:31,880 Speaker 2: the Raptors. Why aren't the Raptors better? And it's like, well, 605 00:40:31,920 --> 00:40:35,200 Speaker 2: because they're not good. They're not a good team. And 606 00:40:35,280 --> 00:40:38,239 Speaker 2: you know what, that's unfair. That's unfair to the Raptors 607 00:40:38,320 --> 00:40:41,040 Speaker 2: because they won a championship recently. Let me do it everyone, 608 00:40:41,800 --> 00:40:45,880 Speaker 2: Brooklyn Nets. Can someone figure out why the Nets aren't 609 00:40:45,880 --> 00:40:50,080 Speaker 2: winning more games? When the answer was poorly run franchise 610 00:40:50,200 --> 00:40:51,960 Speaker 2: that's not that good and hasn't been good, so they 611 00:40:52,000 --> 00:40:53,919 Speaker 2: lose the game is supposed to lose. It's like, oh, yeah, 612 00:40:53,920 --> 00:40:58,200 Speaker 2: that's right, that's it. So I'm not The Jets have 613 00:40:58,280 --> 00:41:02,319 Speaker 2: beating the Titans and the Patriot. The Titans and the 614 00:41:02,320 --> 00:41:10,560 Speaker 2: Patriots are your wins. Every team that is not god 615 00:41:10,640 --> 00:41:14,920 Speaker 2: awful you've lost to. And people are like, well, here's 616 00:41:14,960 --> 00:41:17,239 Speaker 2: the percentage of two and five teams, I want to 617 00:41:17,239 --> 00:41:19,279 Speaker 2: make the playoffs. Here's the thing about the two and 618 00:41:19,400 --> 00:41:21,480 Speaker 2: five teams, the six percent that made the playoffs, you 619 00:41:21,560 --> 00:41:26,520 Speaker 2: know what, they weren't bad. This seems bad. So I 620 00:41:26,680 --> 00:41:30,719 Speaker 2: just find the whole Jets thing. And I am annoyed 621 00:41:30,760 --> 00:41:39,320 Speaker 2: at how credulous like some of the Homer cheerleaders stuff 622 00:41:39,719 --> 00:41:44,520 Speaker 2: that I do for the Chiefs on national television, other 623 00:41:44,600 --> 00:41:49,920 Speaker 2: folks were doing for the Jets, as if that's acceptable. Guys. 624 00:41:49,960 --> 00:41:51,719 Speaker 2: I just want to let you guys know something, just 625 00:41:51,800 --> 00:41:55,400 Speaker 2: spoiler alert. If I'm still on TV in fifteen years 626 00:41:55,760 --> 00:41:58,440 Speaker 2: and Mahomes is no longer on the Chiefs and the 627 00:41:58,520 --> 00:42:02,960 Speaker 2: Chiefs are a clown show organization, I won't be dropping banners. 628 00:42:03,640 --> 00:42:05,799 Speaker 2: I won't be picking them to win the Super Bowl 629 00:42:05,880 --> 00:42:08,800 Speaker 2: every year. I won't be picking him to be MVP. 630 00:42:09,840 --> 00:42:12,359 Speaker 2: But these folks that are like, oh, I was in 631 00:42:12,440 --> 00:42:17,160 Speaker 2: Florham Park this summer. They are dialed in. Oh, don't 632 00:42:17,200 --> 00:42:19,400 Speaker 2: worry about the mini camp and the fact that the 633 00:42:19,560 --> 00:42:21,960 Speaker 2: coach in the quarterback don't get along, and they tried 634 00:42:22,000 --> 00:42:25,120 Speaker 2: to replace the offensive coordinator and they have the worst 635 00:42:25,239 --> 00:42:27,640 Speaker 2: owner in the NFL, or at least on the short 636 00:42:27,680 --> 00:42:31,320 Speaker 2: list They're gonna be great because look at the talent 637 00:42:31,400 --> 00:42:34,960 Speaker 2: they added in Mike Williams. Mike Williams who now is 638 00:42:35,360 --> 00:42:39,560 Speaker 2: basically out of the rotation. Just a joke. It's a joke, 639 00:42:41,000 --> 00:42:41,319 Speaker 2: all right. 640 00:42:41,480 --> 00:42:46,840 Speaker 3: WNBA demise yeh will no longer be betting on the Jets. 641 00:42:48,120 --> 00:42:52,040 Speaker 3: You're planning to bet on the underdog Chiefs to pay 642 00:42:52,040 --> 00:42:55,440 Speaker 3: for the tickets for the WNBA finals. Worked out. You 643 00:42:55,480 --> 00:42:57,760 Speaker 3: and Deiana went to the closeout game and saw Liberty 644 00:42:57,760 --> 00:43:01,120 Speaker 3: oht win an instant classic. I know you guys were 645 00:43:01,120 --> 00:43:03,440 Speaker 3: there for that buzzer beater was a Sabrina hit, Like 646 00:43:03,480 --> 00:43:04,720 Speaker 3: I won't say it was like three. 647 00:43:04,600 --> 00:43:08,080 Speaker 2: Fal no, no, no, I wasn't no that. We weren't there 648 00:43:08,080 --> 00:43:09,800 Speaker 2: for that one. We were that that was game four. 649 00:43:09,880 --> 00:43:12,920 Speaker 2: We were there for Game five, which was yesterday or something. 650 00:43:13,040 --> 00:43:13,920 Speaker 3: Okay, yeah it was. 651 00:43:14,080 --> 00:43:16,719 Speaker 2: It was also an instant classic that went to overtime. 652 00:43:17,040 --> 00:43:19,239 Speaker 2: But it was I mean, this was great. We weren't 653 00:43:19,239 --> 00:43:20,040 Speaker 2: there for the buzzer beater. 654 00:43:20,200 --> 00:43:22,920 Speaker 3: Yeah. So the coach of the Link said that the 655 00:43:23,040 --> 00:43:26,680 Speaker 3: series was stolen in an all time accusation. Your thoughts 656 00:43:26,680 --> 00:43:27,280 Speaker 3: on the series. 657 00:43:28,800 --> 00:43:32,480 Speaker 2: It seemed a little stolen, Listen, I'm happy for the Liberty, 658 00:43:32,520 --> 00:43:33,880 Speaker 2: and they were the better team over the course of 659 00:43:33,880 --> 00:43:37,040 Speaker 2: the year. The officiating in Game five was an embarrassment. 660 00:43:37,239 --> 00:43:40,080 Speaker 2: There's no there's no getting around that. Uh, I mean, 661 00:43:40,080 --> 00:43:45,160 Speaker 2: it just was and the and so I feel sick 662 00:43:45,200 --> 00:43:49,160 Speaker 2: for Minnesota. I also, though, do think there's a small 663 00:43:49,200 --> 00:43:52,560 Speaker 2: part of me that thinks I don't think it was 664 00:43:52,640 --> 00:43:55,920 Speaker 2: rigged for New York. I think the officials were intimidated 665 00:43:56,960 --> 00:44:02,200 Speaker 2: by a home crowd that was electric, and that's why 666 00:44:02,239 --> 00:44:05,520 Speaker 2: you fight for home court advantage. And that crowd at 667 00:44:05,600 --> 00:44:10,239 Speaker 2: Barclays was out of this world, out of this world, 668 00:44:10,320 --> 00:44:13,560 Speaker 2: and I mean, it was pretty unbelievable. So here is 669 00:44:13,680 --> 00:44:16,759 Speaker 2: I'll tell you. And it was a great series, a 670 00:44:16,920 --> 00:44:21,040 Speaker 2: great series. I'm sad for Collier, who's a great player 671 00:44:21,880 --> 00:44:26,560 Speaker 2: who deserved, you know, to win the championship. And some 672 00:44:26,880 --> 00:44:29,959 Speaker 2: very very very tough calls at the end, it gets 673 00:44:29,960 --> 00:44:33,600 Speaker 2: to overtime, and in overtime the Liberty are able to pull away, 674 00:44:34,000 --> 00:44:37,839 Speaker 2: I mean despite I mean, some of the numbers in 675 00:44:37,880 --> 00:44:44,840 Speaker 2: this finals game are incomprehensible. So Sabrina I and Escu 676 00:44:44,960 --> 00:44:48,960 Speaker 2: demansee who's one of the greatest players in the history 677 00:44:48,960 --> 00:44:51,600 Speaker 2: of women's basketball. She's the one who hit the logo 678 00:44:51,719 --> 00:44:55,359 Speaker 2: three to extend, you know, to get the series where 679 00:44:55,360 --> 00:44:56,800 Speaker 2: it is, or you know, get them one of the 680 00:44:56,840 --> 00:44:59,960 Speaker 2: wins in the series. Demand She was one. 681 00:45:00,239 --> 00:45:03,000 Speaker 3: Nineteen, Yeah, I saw her once. 682 00:45:03,040 --> 00:45:09,719 Speaker 2: I saw for nineteen and Stewie, who is art maybe 683 00:45:10,200 --> 00:45:13,759 Speaker 2: the greatest player in the history of women's basketball, was 684 00:45:13,800 --> 00:45:17,680 Speaker 2: four for fifteen. So those two now listen. John Quell 685 00:45:17,760 --> 00:45:21,360 Speaker 2: Jones one Finals MVP and deserved it. But Nafisa Collier 686 00:45:21,480 --> 00:45:23,400 Speaker 2: was the best player in the series, and you feel 687 00:45:23,440 --> 00:45:26,440 Speaker 2: sick for her that she you know, they don't win 688 00:45:26,480 --> 00:45:30,400 Speaker 2: the championship. I will say, though, just real quick on 689 00:45:30,440 --> 00:45:36,719 Speaker 2: a personal note, all time kind of set up by 690 00:45:36,719 --> 00:45:40,600 Speaker 2: me there. So I tweeted what my plan was, which 691 00:45:40,760 --> 00:45:47,840 Speaker 2: was to bet a somewhat irresponsible amount on the Chiefs 692 00:45:47,960 --> 00:45:52,200 Speaker 2: is underdogs because it's the best bet in all of sports, 693 00:45:52,760 --> 00:45:57,600 Speaker 2: and then hope that by the time the Chiefs had 694 00:45:57,640 --> 00:46:02,280 Speaker 2: it locked there were still great seats available to Game 695 00:46:02,400 --> 00:46:05,640 Speaker 2: five at Barclays. I live in Harlem, so I'm about 696 00:46:05,680 --> 00:46:10,640 Speaker 2: forty five to fifty five minutes from Barclays in a car. 697 00:46:11,440 --> 00:46:17,880 Speaker 2: So demons the actual court side seats We're going for 698 00:46:18,280 --> 00:46:24,120 Speaker 2: all weekend. Four to ten thousand dollars a ticket. Okay, 699 00:46:24,280 --> 00:46:29,800 Speaker 2: that's what they're going for all weekend. I have found four, 700 00:46:31,320 --> 00:46:36,200 Speaker 2: like row ten center court seats that we're going for 701 00:46:36,320 --> 00:46:39,279 Speaker 2: like twelve hundred bucks a ticket all weekend. But I'm 702 00:46:39,320 --> 00:46:41,880 Speaker 2: thinking the closer you get to tip off, it's gonna 703 00:46:41,880 --> 00:46:45,040 Speaker 2: be lower. Maybe they drop to like seven eight hundred 704 00:46:45,040 --> 00:46:47,040 Speaker 2: bucks a ticket. It's a lot of money, but it's 705 00:46:47,080 --> 00:46:52,399 Speaker 2: a championship game. It's a seminal WNBA season, and I'm 706 00:46:52,400 --> 00:46:55,240 Speaker 2: gonna win at least that on the Chiefs this weekend. 707 00:46:55,480 --> 00:46:59,640 Speaker 2: That's the plan. Okay. So the Chiefs have it locked 708 00:47:00,440 --> 00:47:04,920 Speaker 2: and I start looking for tickets, and your older sister 709 00:47:05,000 --> 00:47:09,720 Speaker 2: Deora ends up having plans with her cousin. Your mom's 710 00:47:09,760 --> 00:47:12,239 Speaker 2: been out all day, she doesn't really want to go. 711 00:47:12,320 --> 00:47:16,319 Speaker 2: So now I'm looking for two instead of four, And 712 00:47:16,400 --> 00:47:19,120 Speaker 2: those seats that I had been looking at were gone. 713 00:47:20,000 --> 00:47:25,319 Speaker 2: My gosh, darn it. And then I see two. It's 714 00:47:25,360 --> 00:47:29,120 Speaker 2: now seven thirty. The game starts at eight ten, seven thirty, 715 00:47:29,120 --> 00:47:31,279 Speaker 2: and Diana is like, are we going? We should go. 716 00:47:31,280 --> 00:47:33,399 Speaker 2: I can put my sweatshirt on, Let's go, Daddy, come on, 717 00:47:33,920 --> 00:47:38,160 Speaker 2: And I look and see two of those court side 718 00:47:38,200 --> 00:47:42,760 Speaker 2: seats behind the basket, so not sideline, but corner behind 719 00:47:42,760 --> 00:47:45,240 Speaker 2: the baskets. You have a great view that we're going 720 00:47:45,320 --> 00:47:48,680 Speaker 2: for six grand, four to six grand apiece. It's now 721 00:47:48,719 --> 00:47:53,200 Speaker 2: seven thirty. They have dropped to eight hundred dollars a ticket. 722 00:47:53,360 --> 00:47:56,520 Speaker 2: There's two right on the aisle, and I'm like, you 723 00:47:56,520 --> 00:48:00,719 Speaker 2: know what life's about experiences? I just want bucket of money. 724 00:48:00,760 --> 00:48:06,160 Speaker 2: Betting the chiefs bang Bottom called the uber got in. 725 00:48:06,520 --> 00:48:09,239 Speaker 2: We get there, tail into the first quarter.

That 734 00:48:41,239 --> 00:48:44,000 Speaker 2: would that would make me sad. I think I was 735 00:48:44,160 --> 00:48:47,200 Speaker 2: very good to Angel all year. If she didn't know me, 736 00:48:47,560 --> 00:48:49,920 Speaker 2: no problem. If she knew me and thought I was 737 00:48:49,960 --> 00:48:52,680 Speaker 2: one of the people that attacked her, that makes me sad. 738 00:48:52,960 --> 00:48:56,080 Speaker 2: But there was Deanna was like, is that is she 739 00:48:56,280 --> 00:48:58,160 Speaker 2: mad at you?

But then he and I through the game, 751 00:49:44,520 --> 00:49:49,000 Speaker 2: are the second quarter, are talking about the game, you know, 752 00:49:49,040 --> 00:49:52,359 Speaker 2: a little bit to each other, and then the guy 753 00:49:52,440 --> 00:49:56,239 Speaker 2: sitting next to him turns. It's like, what up, Nick, 754 00:49:57,520 --> 00:50:01,440 Speaker 2: and it's Jadakiss And I did not.

Let's go before we get to our game, 793 00:52:29,239 --> 00:52:29,720 Speaker 2: the NBA. 794 00:52:30,400 --> 00:52:32,919 Speaker 3: So the NBA kicks off tonight or tips off tonight, 795 00:52:32,960 --> 00:52:35,920 Speaker 3: whatever you want to say. With the reigning champions Celtics 796 00:52:35,960 --> 00:52:38,960 Speaker 3: playing the Knicks and that new roster will stay mainly 797 00:52:39,000 --> 00:52:40,719 Speaker 3: focused on the NFL as we're in the thick of 798 00:52:40,760 --> 00:52:44,520 Speaker 3: the season, but looking ahead, we're gonna spend a few 799 00:52:44,560 --> 00:52:48,479 Speaker 3: short minutes previewing the NBA season. Do you have any 800 00:52:48,480 --> 00:52:49,360 Speaker 3: bold predictions? 801 00:52:50,840 --> 00:52:53,040 Speaker 2: I know I do not, and in fact, we're not 802 00:52:53,120 --> 00:52:55,040 Speaker 2: even gonna spend a few short minutes. I have two 803 00:52:55,120 --> 00:53:03,560 Speaker 2: things to say. One is kind a juiceless NBA preseason, 804 00:53:04,800 --> 00:53:09,160 Speaker 2: Like right now, demons, how many people that are sports 805 00:53:09,200 --> 00:53:13,040 Speaker 2: fans do you think know the NBA starts tonight? 806 00:53:14,360 --> 00:53:16,480 Speaker 3: Like a lot a lot of people don't know. I 807 00:53:16,520 --> 00:53:18,719 Speaker 3: was in a room when somebody broke the news to 808 00:53:18,800 --> 00:53:21,040 Speaker 3: about six or seven other people, So yeah. 809 00:53:20,880 --> 00:53:24,240 Speaker 2: Yes, yeah, that is like that, like wait the regular 810 00:53:24,239 --> 00:53:26,799 Speaker 2: and I understand it starts around the same time every year. 811 00:53:27,120 --> 00:53:34,040 Speaker 2: But here's my theory. I think our sports brains only 812 00:53:34,360 --> 00:53:40,640 Speaker 2: like compart like have room for so many high leverage events, 813 00:53:41,840 --> 00:53:47,400 Speaker 2: and I think the combination of the juice of the 814 00:53:47,680 --> 00:53:53,280 Speaker 2: w NBA Finals and really the juice of the best 815 00:53:53,520 --> 00:54:01,640 Speaker 2: baseball postseason of the last decade maybe has pushed the 816 00:54:01,760 --> 00:54:05,319 Speaker 2: start of the NBA season back. Like obviously, the NFL 817 00:54:05,640 --> 00:54:09,200 Speaker 2: is taking up the majority of our sports brains right now, 818 00:54:09,520 --> 00:54:12,640 Speaker 2: but then the like sidebar topics. I think for a 819 00:54:12,680 --> 00:54:15,560 Speaker 2: lot of people, it's like, oh my god, this baseball 820 00:54:15,600 --> 00:54:19,920 Speaker 2: playoffs has been awesome, and because of that, people aren't 821 00:54:19,960 --> 00:54:23,960 Speaker 2: like locked in to the NBA yet. So I, uh, 822 00:54:24,080 --> 00:54:25,040 Speaker 2: the I. 823 00:54:25,360 --> 00:54:28,120 Speaker 3: N I feel like that's probably the usual because it's 824 00:54:28,120 --> 00:54:29,120 Speaker 3: such a long season. 825 00:54:29,239 --> 00:54:35,040 Speaker 2: No, Yeah, here's where I disagree with. Usually Opening night 826 00:54:35,320 --> 00:54:38,120 Speaker 2: is big and then it kind of goes in slight 827 00:54:38,239 --> 00:54:41,920 Speaker 2: hibernation until Christmas and then you know what I mean, 828 00:54:41,960 --> 00:54:45,640 Speaker 2: and then Christmas starts going. But I just don't I 829 00:54:45,640 --> 00:54:47,960 Speaker 2: think a lot of people are like, whoa the NBA 830 00:54:48,000 --> 00:54:50,880 Speaker 2: is starting today. I don't think there's a ton of 831 00:54:51,080 --> 00:54:56,080 Speaker 2: juice right now for it. And bonus bonus take. I 832 00:54:56,120 --> 00:55:01,279 Speaker 2: think people aren't as thirsty for NBA basketball is that 833 00:55:01,440 --> 00:55:04,440 Speaker 2: usually are at this point in the offseason because of 834 00:55:04,480 --> 00:55:08,400 Speaker 2: the Olympics. I think the Olympics was such a great 835 00:55:08,719 --> 00:55:15,040 Speaker 2: experience and run it doesn't feel subconsciously like we're far 836 00:55:15,160 --> 00:55:19,479 Speaker 2: enough away from high leverage games. So I just think 837 00:55:19,520 --> 00:55:23,160 Speaker 2: like our sports brains are not ready for the NBA yet. 838 00:55:23,320 --> 00:55:26,000 Speaker 2: So I Kevin O'Connor just started a new podcast. Everyone 839 00:55:26,000 --> 00:55:28,440 Speaker 2: should subscribe to it. He left The Ringers with Yahoo's 840 00:55:28,480 --> 00:55:31,239 Speaker 2: great He asked me if I'd go on, and I 841 00:55:31,360 --> 00:55:33,320 Speaker 2: told him straight up, I was like, one hundred percent 842 00:55:33,360 --> 00:55:36,920 Speaker 2: want to go on. I love KOC. I cannot go 843 00:55:37,080 --> 00:55:39,360 Speaker 2: on right now because I would be a terrible guest 844 00:55:39,440 --> 00:55:44,400 Speaker 2: because I have not locked in to this upcoming NBA season. 845 00:55:44,840 --> 00:55:50,600 Speaker 2: I just haven't, So I only have one prediction. Bronni's 846 00:55:50,640 --> 00:55:53,920 Speaker 2: gonna play tonight, and some of the worst opinions in 847 00:55:53,960 --> 00:55:56,680 Speaker 2: all of sports media are going to follow it tomorrow, 848 00:55:56,960 --> 00:56:01,880 Speaker 2: and I'm gonna lose my mind. Joel Embiid is an 849 00:56:01,960 --> 00:56:05,040 Speaker 2: MVP in the prime of his career who just announced 850 00:56:05,120 --> 00:56:07,839 Speaker 2: y'all will probably never play back to backs again, and 851 00:56:07,920 --> 00:56:11,360 Speaker 2: they think he might miss game one of the season 852 00:56:11,480 --> 00:56:15,880 Speaker 2: due to load management stuff that is for good or 853 00:56:15,880 --> 00:56:19,040 Speaker 2: for bad, and I think for bad. The NBA as 854 00:56:19,040 --> 00:56:23,160 Speaker 2: it is today, Kawhi Leonard just is he gonna play? 855 00:56:23,200 --> 00:56:26,480 Speaker 2: Who knows all? That's the NBA as it is today 856 00:56:27,760 --> 00:56:34,640 Speaker 2: To act like letting Lebron James, arguably the greatest player 857 00:56:34,640 --> 00:56:38,320 Speaker 2: in the history of your sport and inarguably the greatest 858 00:56:38,360 --> 00:56:41,840 Speaker 2: ambassador in the history of your sport and his son 859 00:56:42,760 --> 00:56:46,640 Speaker 2: to have ninety seconds on the court together to open 860 00:56:46,719 --> 00:56:51,799 Speaker 2: the season that otherwise has no juice whatsoever is a 861 00:56:51,960 --> 00:56:57,040 Speaker 2: bad thing. Or disrespecting the game or putting the Lakers 862 00:56:57,080 --> 00:57:02,760 Speaker 2: in any significant competitive disadvantage is such a disingenuous, awful 863 00:57:02,880 --> 00:57:06,320 Speaker 2: take and is only going to be had by people 864 00:57:06,680 --> 00:57:09,960 Speaker 2: that just can't stand Lebron. So that's my only take. 865 00:57:10,040 --> 00:57:12,160 Speaker 2: Like what am I excited for? I want to see 866 00:57:12,160 --> 00:57:14,560 Speaker 2: Bron and Bronni on the court together, and then, to 867 00:57:14,600 --> 00:57:17,880 Speaker 2: be totally honest, I'll check back in periodically over the 868 00:57:17,960 --> 00:57:20,560 Speaker 2: next few weeks, but my brain's on football and the 869 00:57:20,560 --> 00:57:23,480 Speaker 2: World Series right now. All right, demons, let's go to 870 00:57:23,520 --> 00:57:24,160 Speaker 2: the right ends. 871 00:57:25,160 --> 00:57:28,960 Speaker 3: So yeah, So first off with the Liberty. They won 872 00:57:29,040 --> 00:57:31,160 Speaker 3: a title, and the Yankees are in the World Series, 873 00:57:31,200 --> 00:57:33,560 Speaker 3: and we'll touch on them in a second. But not 874 00:57:33,680 --> 00:57:36,320 Speaker 3: everything is great in New York. We got Saquon stuck 875 00:57:36,360 --> 00:57:39,560 Speaker 3: it to his old team against the Giants. Daniel Jones 876 00:57:39,600 --> 00:57:42,880 Speaker 3: got bnched in that same game, the Mets were eliminated, 877 00:57:42,960 --> 00:57:45,840 Speaker 3: and the Jets are the Jets. The happiest person in 878 00:57:45,880 --> 00:57:49,440 Speaker 3: New York is and the saddest person in New York. 879 00:57:49,360 --> 00:57:52,240 Speaker 2: Is Oh I gotta think right now, the happiest person 880 00:57:52,280 --> 00:57:55,680 Speaker 2: in New York is Aaron Judge thinking he has a 881 00:57:55,840 --> 00:58:00,320 Speaker 2: chance to have an all time legendary Yankee season, even 882 00:58:00,320 --> 00:58:02,680 Speaker 2: though he hasn't been the star of the postseason that's 883 00:58:02,680 --> 00:58:07,240 Speaker 2: been Stanton. But winning an MVP, having this level of 884 00:58:07,280 --> 00:58:10,560 Speaker 2: regular season, and then delivering New York potentially their first 885 00:58:10,560 --> 00:58:14,440 Speaker 2: World Series title in fifteen years. I think Judge is 886 00:58:14,480 --> 00:58:21,040 Speaker 2: the happiest, the saddest person in New York. I mean, 887 00:58:21,960 --> 00:58:24,840 Speaker 2: I would imagine as Daniel Jones because he probably knows 888 00:58:24,880 --> 00:58:27,360 Speaker 2: this Monday is probably his last start as a Giant. 889 00:58:28,240 --> 00:58:31,439 Speaker 2: So I think he's gonna start this Monday against Pittsburgh 890 00:58:31,720 --> 00:58:34,600 Speaker 2: and then be done because he has an injury guarantee 891 00:58:34,600 --> 00:58:36,600 Speaker 2: in his contract that they're not gonna want to kick in. 892 00:58:36,640 --> 00:58:38,200 Speaker 2: All right, let's go into the World Series. 893 00:58:39,400 --> 00:58:41,480 Speaker 3: The Dodgers and Yankees will score off in the World 894 00:58:41,480 --> 00:58:44,160 Speaker 3: Series starting later this week. The winner of the World 895 00:58:44,200 --> 00:58:44,920 Speaker 3: Series will be. 896 00:58:46,400 --> 00:58:50,280 Speaker 2: So here's the thing. I'm in a weird spot, Demanse, 897 00:58:50,920 --> 00:58:59,640 Speaker 2: which is I I think the Dodgers are better. However, 898 00:59:01,000 --> 00:59:05,040 Speaker 2: I will be rooting for the Yankees, and I hate 899 00:59:05,200 --> 00:59:08,080 Speaker 2: like it's not fun to pick against when you when 900 00:59:08,080 --> 00:59:11,280 Speaker 2: it's close, at least the team you're rooting for. And 901 00:59:11,320 --> 00:59:14,000 Speaker 2: I will be rooting for the Yankees because I made 902 00:59:14,000 --> 00:59:18,520 Speaker 2: a deal, and verbal is binding in my world. With 903 00:59:19,200 --> 00:59:23,480 Speaker 2: everyone I saw at that Yankees Royals playoff game, every 904 00:59:23,560 --> 00:59:26,840 Speaker 2: Yankee fan that I saw that gave me. You know, 905 00:59:26,880 --> 00:59:29,320 Speaker 2: I'm with your mom, your sisters, a lot of people. 906 00:59:29,400 --> 00:59:32,160 Speaker 2: I'm an all Royals gear. I'm really not trying to 907 00:59:32,200 --> 00:59:35,520 Speaker 2: get into it with anybody. And everyone I saw I 908 00:59:35,680 --> 00:59:39,720 Speaker 2: told him. I was like, hey, whoever wins this series, 909 00:59:40,640 --> 00:59:42,960 Speaker 2: let's root for the rest of the way. It's like 910 00:59:43,000 --> 00:59:46,440 Speaker 2: a deal, like if the Royals win, you become Royals fans, 911 00:59:46,480 --> 00:59:48,640 Speaker 2: and if the Yankees win, all become a Yankee fan 912 00:59:48,720 --> 00:59:51,120 Speaker 2: the rest of the series. And I made that agreement 913 00:59:51,200 --> 00:59:55,240 Speaker 2: with no less than fifty people. So I am I 914 00:59:55,280 --> 00:59:58,760 Speaker 2: am obligated as a man of honor to root for 915 00:59:58,800 --> 01:00:01,960 Speaker 2: the Yankees, even though I think the Dodgers are better. 916 01:00:02,440 --> 01:00:03,920 Speaker 2: But I also have a lot of friends that are 917 01:00:03,960 --> 01:00:06,600 Speaker 2: big Yankee fans. Some of them are obnoxious, but some 918 01:00:06,680 --> 01:00:07,320 Speaker 2: of them I love. 919 01:00:07,800 --> 01:00:09,400 Speaker 3: And so we'll get the chance to go to the 920 01:00:09,520 --> 01:00:14,440 Speaker 3: games the Yankees are winning either way, I could go 921 01:00:14,680 --> 01:00:15,080 Speaker 3: either way. 922 01:00:16,160 --> 01:00:19,200 Speaker 2: I could go either way, but man, these this is 923 01:00:19,200 --> 01:00:21,760 Speaker 2: the most expensive baseball ticket I've ever seen in my life. 924 01:00:22,520 --> 01:00:26,240 Speaker 2: The most expensive ticket I've ever seen. What do you 925 01:00:26,520 --> 01:00:32,000 Speaker 2: the get in for standing room only? You don't even 926 01:00:32,000 --> 01:00:34,760 Speaker 2: have a seat, You just stand in the outfield. Demonse 927 01:00:35,920 --> 01:00:41,880 Speaker 2: is fourteen to get in the stadium. To not have 928 01:00:41,920 --> 01:00:45,920 Speaker 2: a seat the seat that I had for those Alds games. 929 01:00:46,720 --> 01:00:48,840 Speaker 2: For the Alds game you saw the picture of which 930 01:00:48,880 --> 01:00:52,320 Speaker 2: were not a plus seats like a minus seats. They 931 01:00:52,320 --> 01:00:56,280 Speaker 2: were good seats, third baseline, like ten throw oh you 932 01:00:56,280 --> 01:01:00,480 Speaker 2: know from the field. Those seats right now are like 933 01:01:00,600 --> 01:01:04,560 Speaker 2: four grand apiece. I've never seen a more expensive ticket ever, 934 01:01:04,960 --> 01:01:08,520 Speaker 2: So I don't listen. It's on Fox, so I should 935 01:01:08,560 --> 01:01:10,320 Speaker 2: be if I you know, I should be able to 936 01:01:10,360 --> 01:01:12,200 Speaker 2: go to some games, and I think I will probably 937 01:01:12,240 --> 01:01:15,320 Speaker 2: go to some games. But I my general rule of 938 01:01:15,360 --> 01:01:18,320 Speaker 2: thumb in sports is I don't ask anyone for tickets. 939 01:01:18,360 --> 01:01:20,840 Speaker 2: I always buy tickets because I want to be able 940 01:01:20,840 --> 01:01:22,600 Speaker 2: to root however I want to root. I want to 941 01:01:22,640 --> 01:01:25,040 Speaker 2: be able to do what I want to do. I 942 01:01:25,120 --> 01:01:28,000 Speaker 2: might break the rule for this World Series. The tickets 943 01:01:28,040 --> 01:01:30,000 Speaker 2: that expensive and it's on Fuck, I might I might 944 01:01:30,040 --> 01:01:32,919 Speaker 2: break the rule. Uh for this one. All right, let's 945 01:01:32,960 --> 01:01:34,280 Speaker 2: quickly get to the next ones. 946 01:01:35,120 --> 01:01:38,400 Speaker 3: The Lions are rolling golf is playing at an historic level, 947 01:01:38,440 --> 01:01:40,880 Speaker 3: and they just beat the undefeated team in the NFC 948 01:01:41,000 --> 01:01:44,880 Speaker 3: misis and Minnesota obviously did play well, and no shame 949 01:01:44,960 --> 01:01:48,880 Speaker 3: in losing to Detroit. Detroit wins the NFC unless. 950 01:01:49,960 --> 01:01:51,920 Speaker 2: Oh, I mean, listen, there's a lot of things that 951 01:01:51,920 --> 01:01:56,200 Speaker 2: can happen there, unless the Aiden Hutchinson injury is too 952 01:01:56,280 --> 01:01:59,640 Speaker 2: much to overcome, unless Dan Campbell's game management bites. I'm like, 953 01:01:59,640 --> 01:02:02,080 Speaker 2: I don't think I think Detroit's excellent. I don't think 954 01:02:02,120 --> 01:02:06,439 Speaker 2: there's an overwhelming favorite in the NFC. Uh. And by 955 01:02:06,520 --> 01:02:10,560 Speaker 2: the way, like clockwork, and we're just gonna we're just 956 01:02:10,600 --> 01:02:13,400 Speaker 2: gonna wrap this here. We'll do the listener questions. But 957 01:02:14,400 --> 01:02:21,080 Speaker 2: Seam Sharania Joel Embiid is out for the opener against 958 01:02:21,120 --> 01:02:25,160 Speaker 2: the Bucks. Progressing well and ramping up scrimmaging this week. 959 01:02:25,200 --> 01:02:28,280 Speaker 2: He did not play this week. He will not play 960 01:02:28,280 --> 01:02:33,200 Speaker 2: this week. I when did Joel Embiid get hurt? What 961 01:02:33,240 --> 01:02:34,280 Speaker 2: does this even mean? 962 01:02:37,000 --> 01:02:39,680 Speaker 3: Another great he was in the Olympics. 963 01:02:40,640 --> 01:02:48,080 Speaker 2: I the the NBA, Honest to god, man, they gotta 964 01:02:48,120 --> 01:02:52,120 Speaker 2: get their arms. This is alienating their fan base. Man, 965 01:02:53,080 --> 01:02:58,440 Speaker 2: you cannot have stars. Paul George hyper extended his knee. 966 01:02:58,480 --> 01:03:01,240 Speaker 2: That's just bad luck. Like Paul George also, but the 967 01:03:01,240 --> 01:03:04,240 Speaker 2: guy was playing in the preseason and got hurt. You know, 968 01:03:04,600 --> 01:03:08,600 Speaker 2: he's totally separate. Thing. You cannot have stars that don't play. 969 01:03:09,680 --> 01:03:18,400 Speaker 2: That's so frustrating. Quick break right back, What's right?

Do you 989 01:04:18,880 --> 01:04:21,280 Speaker 3: think the NBA regular season should reduced the season to 990 01:04:21,400 --> 01:04:23,520 Speaker 3: seventy games to mitigate load management? 991 01:04:24,520 --> 01:04:26,520 Speaker 2: All right? Two things. One is I'm not seeing Demonse 992 01:04:26,680 --> 01:04:28,840 Speaker 2: right now, I'm seeing the black screen. The other one, 993 01:04:28,920 --> 01:04:31,520 Speaker 2: there we go, now he's back. I don't know if 994 01:04:31,520 --> 01:04:34,640 Speaker 2: that would fix it, man, I ain't. There has to 995 01:04:34,880 --> 01:04:43,680 Speaker 2: like ultimately what I I don't know what the solve is. 996 01:04:44,560 --> 01:04:49,240 Speaker 2: But what I do know is, you know what the 997 01:04:49,280 --> 01:04:52,760 Speaker 2: best players of all time all have in common? They 998 01:04:52,880 --> 01:05:01,320 Speaker 2: played Man, they played and the Joker plays Yannis. Lebron 999 01:05:01,760 --> 01:05:05,280 Speaker 2: is gonna end up playing more games than anyone ever. 1000 01:05:05,640 --> 01:05:09,000 Speaker 2: Lebron was in that Netflix thing. They were trying to 1001 01:05:09,040 --> 01:05:12,040 Speaker 2: limit his minutes in game one of year twenty one, 1002 01:05:12,160 --> 01:05:15,840 Speaker 2: and he was like, I hate this. Kobe played Michael 1003 01:05:16,200 --> 01:05:26,600 Speaker 2: Kareem Magic, they played Man, play the games. 1004 01:05:23,720 --> 01:05:29,400 Speaker 4: Next or retire, right, producers as just play the games 1005 01:05:30,240 --> 01:05:33,360 Speaker 4: producers ass Some talk on Twitter about the Rams being 1006 01:05:33,400 --> 01:05:36,120 Speaker 4: willing to trade Cooper Cup Chiefs question. 1007 01:05:35,960 --> 01:05:40,320 Speaker 2: Mark, I do not listen. I think Cooper Cup in 1008 01:05:40,400 --> 01:05:44,000 Speaker 2: theory is very good, but he's very expensive, he's getting older, 1009 01:05:44,000 --> 01:05:47,120 Speaker 2: and he's injury prone. So I do think the Chiefs 1010 01:05:47,120 --> 01:05:50,040 Speaker 2: are gonna add someone. It's not going to be an expensive, 1011 01:05:50,320 --> 01:05:56,200 Speaker 2: injury prone guy. So I old guy, older guy. He's 1012 01:05:56,200 --> 01:06:01,880 Speaker 2: not old, but older. So they might do older if 1013 01:06:01,640 --> 01:06:04,840 Speaker 2: you're they're very cheap. But I think if the Chiefs 1014 01:06:04,840 --> 01:06:06,960 Speaker 2: add someone, it's going to I think I do not 1015 01:06:07,040 --> 01:06:08,640 Speaker 2: think the Chiefs are going to trade more than a 1016 01:06:08,680 --> 01:06:11,160 Speaker 2: fifth round pick. So whatever you can get for a 1017 01:06:11,200 --> 01:06:13,560 Speaker 2: fifth round pick or worse is the market they'll be in. 1018 01:06:14,200 --> 01:06:17,520 Speaker 3: All right, next uh, Carol Cobb, Nick, I want the 1019 01:06:17,560 --> 01:06:20,120 Speaker 3: same energy with Lamar Jackson wins the MVP of the 1020 01:06:20,160 --> 01:06:22,320 Speaker 3: Super Bowl.

We're 1031 01:07:11,560 --> 01:07:15,320 Speaker 2: in the era of premature credit. We're in the era 1032 01:07:15,480 --> 01:07:19,760 Speaker 2: of even if you repeatedly have shown you might not 1033 01:07:19,880 --> 01:07:22,640 Speaker 2: be able to do it, you're actually just a hater 1034 01:07:22,840 --> 01:07:25,360 Speaker 2: if you don't say, but this is the year guys 1035 01:07:25,440 --> 01:07:30,800 Speaker 2: are gonna do it. I I will one, one hundred 1036 01:07:30,960 --> 01:07:36,360 Speaker 2: percent give Josh Allen credit the day he finally beats 1037 01:07:36,360 --> 01:07:39,440 Speaker 2: Patrick Mahomes in the playoffs, and that'll happen at some point. 1038 01:07:39,800 --> 01:07:43,760 Speaker 2: I will give Lamar Jackson credit the year he finally 1039 01:07:43,880 --> 01:07:48,480 Speaker 2: has a postseason run where his single worst game of 1040 01:07:48,560 --> 01:07:52,080 Speaker 2: his entire season is not the playoff game they lose. 1041 01:07:52,760 --> 01:07:57,000 Speaker 2: But it hadn't happened yet.
