All right, 0:00:12.039 --> 0:00:15.600 real quick, before we insame night last night that went 0:00:15.720 --> 0:00:18.880 way too long on the East Coast. It was two 0:00:19.320 --> 0:00:23.239 thirty in the morning out here, and I was like, 0:00:23.360 --> 0:00:25.560 I don't know if I'm gonna make it. I don't know, 0:00:25.720 --> 0:00:29.000 I don't know, And I will admit I missed the 0:00:29.040 --> 0:00:32.840 bottom of the seventeenth, bottom of the seventeenth, I call sleep. 0:00:34.159 --> 0:00:38.080 I woke up and saw the top of the eighteenth 0:00:38.080 --> 0:00:40.440 and the Freddie Freeman walk off. Before we get to that, 0:00:40.520 --> 0:00:43.159 before we get to the Chiefs being the chiefs, a 0:00:43.360 --> 0:00:46.480 quick little fun story demand, how are you goop, Pops? 0:00:46.479 --> 0:00:46.960 How you doing? 0:00:47.680 --> 0:00:51.560 I'm doing well? So you know this the audience doesn't 0:00:51.880 --> 0:00:56.800 Thursday Interesting day because this past Thursday, the NBA gambling 0:00:56.880 --> 0:01:02.160 scandal breaks, the Chauncey Phillips poke scandal breaks, And that 0:01:02.520 --> 0:01:08.440 night I was already scheduled to be at charity poker tournament, 0:01:09.040 --> 0:01:13.959 and I actually while I was there, got some legit 0:01:14.080 --> 0:01:19.000 intel because I may or may not have been able 0:01:19.040 --> 0:01:22.160 to talk to some people who might have played in 0:01:23.080 --> 0:01:28.640 either some of those games years back, or certainly when 0:01:28.680 --> 0:01:32.840 they read the indictment, they're like, oh, that's odd. I 0:01:33.000 --> 0:01:37.240 sure know that dealer. And so there was some real 0:01:38.200 --> 0:01:40.800 you know, I guess I could write it off on 0:01:40.880 --> 0:01:45.080 my taxes. It was a business expense I was investigating. However, 0:01:45.160 --> 0:01:48.880 here's the reason I bring it up. Hank Azaria, the 0:01:48.880 --> 0:01:53.760 Great Hank Azaria, awesome comic, voice of so many of 0:01:53.800 --> 0:01:57.880 the great Simpsons characters, great actor. He has two charity 0:01:57.920 --> 0:02:02.560 poker tournaments a year. Why is a City Field, partnering 0:02:02.600 --> 0:02:06.160 with the Mets, and the other is at Costa Chippriani 0:02:07.080 --> 0:02:11.760 partnering with the Dream School in Harlem. I go to 0:02:11.800 --> 0:02:16.080 both of them. Last year, the Mets won at City Field, 0:02:16.840 --> 0:02:19.840 about one hundred and twenty people in the tournament. I 0:02:19.919 --> 0:02:24.120 won it. And that's how the we won that trip 0:02:24.160 --> 0:02:27.320 to Baha Mar in that crazy suite your mom and 0:02:27.400 --> 0:02:29.880 sisters were staying in with the pool table and the 0:02:29.880 --> 0:02:34.240 butlers and all that nonsense. Uh, that was a I 0:02:34.320 --> 0:02:38.720 won that by winning the charity poker tournament. So I won. 0:02:38.800 --> 0:02:42.160 His Mets won last year, his Dream School won at 0:02:42.160 --> 0:02:49.600 Costa Chippriani Thursday Night one hundred person charity tournament. I'm 0:02:49.600 --> 0:02:56.480 a two time champlain. I've won both his tournaments. For 0:02:56.560 --> 0:02:59.320 this one, I got a trophy all in for Dream 0:02:59.360 --> 0:03:02.840 Poker turna Champion. Shout out Hanka's areas. Shout out Dream 0:03:02.840 --> 0:03:07.520 School in Harlem. Shout out poker pro Andy Frankenberger, who 0:03:07.560 --> 0:03:10.560 before the poker tournament gives lessons to everyone in there 0:03:10.560 --> 0:03:13.320 and then gets dusted by me every year. Shout out 0:03:13.320 --> 0:03:17.000 to my pals Bellin and Metting and everybody who just 0:03:17.160 --> 0:03:19.880 go there, donate money and then watch me hoist the 0:03:19.880 --> 0:03:24.400 trophy every year. What a dream, What an absolute literal dream. 0:03:24.760 --> 0:03:28.680 Dream Again, the Dream School in Harlem. It's great, good money, 0:03:29.200 --> 0:03:37.160 good food, good people, really just outstanding. And so I 0:03:37.160 --> 0:03:42.480 I the prize I I is a sweet with twelve 0:03:42.520 --> 0:03:45.680 tickets at a Knicks game in December. I don't have 0:03:45.720 --> 0:03:47.760 the exact details on it, but that's the that's the 0:03:47.800 --> 0:03:50.560 prize I picked. They were like, oh, you can. One 0:03:50.600 --> 0:03:53.800 of the prizes is I don't know, however, many nights 0:03:53.840 --> 0:03:56.440 at the win in Vegas, like you might like that. 0:03:56.960 --> 0:03:59.520 I'm like, here's the thing that you guys might not know. 0:04:01.400 --> 0:04:03.240 And I tell people this and they're like Oh really, 0:04:03.320 --> 0:04:07.000 is that true. It's like it is true. You can 0:04:07.080 --> 0:04:11.280 stay in Vegas anytime you want for free, as long 0:04:11.320 --> 0:04:15.160 as one of those times you lose enough playing blackjack. 0:04:15.720 --> 0:04:18.520 So I like, I, I don't need free rooms in Vegas. 0:04:18.720 --> 0:04:21.160 I put my work in on that I stay in 0:04:21.279 --> 0:04:26.200 the Aria for free for life, and so so I 0:04:26.279 --> 0:04:28.680 took the knixt tickets, but I won the tournament, very 0:04:28.680 --> 0:04:32.960 happy about it. So and maybe got some real intel 0:04:33.040 --> 0:04:37.920 or some insight on the scandals in the NBA. We're 0:04:37.920 --> 0:04:39.520 not going to get into that today because I have 0:04:39.640 --> 0:04:43.599 to vet some of the anecdotal stories I was told. 0:04:43.640 --> 0:04:49.719 But I I think more names potentially could be coming out. 0:04:50.200 --> 0:04:53.040 And I think people that you wouldn't expect to be 0:04:53.080 --> 0:04:56.640 in some financial trouble might have been in some financial trouble, 0:04:57.040 --> 0:04:59.760 and so the you know, we will table that for now, 0:04:59.800 --> 0:05:02.120 but it's there. I would like to get to straight 0:05:02.160 --> 0:05:04.440 the Voicemail, brought to you by Boost Mobile before we 0:05:04.480 --> 0:05:07.480 get to the Chiefs. And this straight the voicemail is 0:05:07.480 --> 0:05:09.599 going to be a long one because we're going to 0:05:09.800 --> 0:05:13.640 discuss last night's baseball game but lucan an't out with injuries, 0:05:14.520 --> 0:05:17.160 and which automatically turns Austin reeves into one of the 0:05:17.200 --> 0:05:21.080 best scorers in the league. Camp Scatibo Scataboo had a 0:05:21.120 --> 0:05:24.760 really scary, awful injury. Glad he had successful surgery, and 0:05:24.800 --> 0:05:28.120 shout out to Big Dom sitting sincerely from the Eagles 0:05:28.360 --> 0:05:31.200 for bringing him cheese steaks and meeting him in the hospital. 0:05:31.400 --> 0:05:34.279 Big Dom actually does seem like a really good dude. 0:05:34.520 --> 0:05:39.880 A little I know, I poketonically, yeah, but he does 0:05:39.920 --> 0:05:42.080 seem like a really good dude, So I like, I 0:05:42.080 --> 0:05:44.680 think that's awesome. And then the Dodgers take a two 0:05:44.720 --> 0:05:48.640 to one lead in the World Series and Flatley demans 0:05:48.640 --> 0:05:50.320 one of the greatest baseball games ever. 0:05:50.160 --> 0:05:52.960 Played, apparently, and that. 0:05:52.320 --> 0:05:57.400 That's not hyperbole. And here's the thing. Sometimes games are 0:05:58.000 --> 0:06:02.760 incredibly long, and because of that people call them all 0:06:02.839 --> 0:06:06.400 time great games. But they weren't really great games. They 0:06:06.400 --> 0:06:11.440 were just long went to well. I was fine with 0:06:11.520 --> 0:06:15.960 how long it went. But the point I'm making is this, 0:06:16.720 --> 0:06:21.320 if this thing had ended in nine innings, it would 0:06:21.320 --> 0:06:25.440 have been one of the best World Series games of 0:06:25.520 --> 0:06:32.200 the last twenty five years. The Otani just being a 0:06:32.720 --> 0:06:39.279 fire breathing dragon, combined with Vlattie's scoring from first, the 0:06:39.400 --> 0:06:45.400 amazing plays defensively to nail guys either at the plate 0:06:45.880 --> 0:06:50.280 or at third base. The little controversy early when the 0:06:50.400 --> 0:06:56.599 ump clearly misses ball four, and uh so everybody's going 0:06:56.640 --> 0:06:59.920 to the I think was Bashett is going to first base, 0:07:00.320 --> 0:07:02.880 the guy on first is trying to go to second instead, 0:07:02.960 --> 0:07:05.680 it's a strike and the guy on first gets picked off. 0:07:06.000 --> 0:07:10.800 It was just an un It was unbelievable theater through 0:07:10.960 --> 0:07:16.400 nine innings. Then there was another nine innings of scoreless baseball, 0:07:16.600 --> 0:07:22.160 including Clayton Kershaw being dusted off. Hey, no big deal, Clayton, 0:07:22.680 --> 0:07:26.560 but it's just bases loaded, two outs, extra innings. World 0:07:26.640 --> 0:07:29.240 Series even get us out of this jam, and he 0:07:29.440 --> 0:07:34.800 did all, culminating in Freddie Freeman after hitting a walk 0:07:34.840 --> 0:07:38.720 off Grand Slam in last year's World Series, hitting a 0:07:38.880 --> 0:07:45.280 walk off eighteenth inning leadoff shot to put the Dodgers 0:07:45.800 --> 0:07:50.520 in great position going into tonight's game when Otani is 0:07:50.560 --> 0:07:55.600 gonna pitch, and Otani is pitching the night after becoming 0:07:55.640 --> 0:07:59.119 the first player in World Series history to reach base 0:07:59.240 --> 0:08:03.240 seven times, becoming the first player in World Series history 0:08:03.280 --> 0:08:06.680 to reach base eight times, becoming the first player in 0:08:06.760 --> 0:08:11.080 World Series history to reach base nine times, becoming the 0:08:11.080 --> 0:08:14.880 first player in World Series history to have four extra 0:08:15.000 --> 0:08:20.600 base hits. I mean, this guy had two doubles, two bombs, 0:08:20.640 --> 0:08:24.040 and then they just waved the white flag. It was 0:08:24.880 --> 0:08:27.320 and they and on it and the Dodgers could have 0:08:27.480 --> 0:08:31.880 and maybe should have lost. It was a one man 0:08:31.920 --> 0:08:35.920 offensive show that then got some supporting acting from Freddie 0:08:35.960 --> 0:08:42.480 Freeman and Blue Jay's really gonna be kicking themselves, man, 0:08:43.840 --> 0:08:49.719 especially with George Springer now injured and the opportunity that 0:08:49.840 --> 0:08:55.120 they had. And I just don't understand how you pitched 0:08:55.160 --> 0:08:59.559 Otani in was it the seventh of the eighth when 0:08:59.600 --> 0:09:02.720 he hit the solo bomb the seventh you have taken 0:09:02.760 --> 0:09:05.840 the lead in the top of the seventh. Otani's the 0:09:05.880 --> 0:09:09.200 only guy on the team who's done anything. He's three 0:09:09.280 --> 0:09:13.000 for three with two doubles and a bomb, and you 0:09:13.080 --> 0:09:15.079 pitch to him and he of course hits another bomb. 0:09:15.120 --> 0:09:18.040 Now then after that four straight intentional walks and then 0:09:18.040 --> 0:09:23.840 a regular walk. But man, oh man, yep, that's gonna 0:09:23.880 --> 0:09:28.520 be one you want back. And what you guys can 0:09:28.559 --> 0:09:35.280 tell me on hard rock bet what the Dodgers are 0:09:35.320 --> 0:09:38.520 favored by tonight? Yeah, I mean with Otani on the mound, 0:09:39.600 --> 0:09:43.480 Brown minus two hundred, uh is what I see, and 0:09:45.240 --> 0:09:49.920 they are and Otani's got a you know pitch tonight 0:09:51.240 --> 0:09:55.120 after playing that game. Justin insane set up and one 0:09:55.120 --> 0:09:58.080 of the coolest baseball games anybody's ever seen. I know 0:09:58.120 --> 0:10:00.760 we had an eighteen inning World S game a few 0:10:00.840 --> 0:10:05.520 years ago. This to me was a far better innings 0:10:05.559 --> 0:10:09.640 one through nine game, and then just massive edge of 0:10:09.679 --> 0:10:16.199 your seat drama for innings ten through eighteen, even if 0:10:16.200 --> 0:10:20.920 it was just insanely late. My god, that was a It 0:10:21.320 --> 0:10:24.000 was a tough wake up this morning. All right, everybody 0:10:24.960 --> 0:10:28.559 reminder like rate subscribe review to the pod that helps 0:10:28.640 --> 0:10:32.160 us out. I just got our numbers for the pod 0:10:32.400 --> 0:10:36.559 through August. We haven't gotten any football season numbers yet, 0:10:36.559 --> 0:10:38.720 but the POD's doing great. That is thanks to you guys. 0:10:38.760 --> 0:10:42.719 We greatly appreciate that. And so if you guys will 0:10:42.840 --> 0:10:45.800 like rate sub really I know we say like and 0:10:45.920 --> 0:10:52.240 rate that is the secondary and tertiary request subscriptions we greatly, 0:10:52.559 --> 0:10:56.000 greatly greatly appreciate. On YouTube or on iTunes, are on 0:10:56.040 --> 0:11:00.000 Spotify or whatever. I'm sure there's a third audio stream 0:11:00.280 --> 0:11:02.760 platform that we never mentioned that I'm not aware of. 0:11:02.920 --> 0:11:07.360 But the you know, the iHeart app do it there too, 0:11:07.600 --> 0:11:10.480 all right, Deman's let's get to the Chiefs being the Chiefs. 0:11:11.320 --> 0:11:13.640 So you called last night's win against the Commanders for 0:11:13.679 --> 0:11:16.040 your Chiefs a must win, and you felt like they 0:11:16.160 --> 0:11:18.959 win by a lot. They did win by a lot. 0:11:19.120 --> 0:11:21.800 It was a close game there for a minute, looked like. 0:11:21.960 --> 0:11:24.400 At halftime yeah seven and a half. 0:11:24.720 --> 0:11:27.760 So so what was your biggest takeaway from yesterday's game? 0:11:28.360 --> 0:11:30.240 Hold on, I have a question for you. 0:11:30.679 --> 0:11:32.800 What happened? 0:11:33.040 --> 0:11:37.679 Because I think in general you root for you know, 0:11:38.880 --> 0:11:42.720 me and my success and happiness. But I feel like 0:11:43.640 --> 0:11:49.480 you maybe during a game like last night, find yourself 0:11:49.559 --> 0:11:53.679 rooting for the Commanders. Well, just taken down a peg 0:11:53.760 --> 0:11:56.160 a bit. I can just tell it the way you 0:11:56.280 --> 0:11:59.400 the way you asked the question. Like you at halftime 0:11:59.440 --> 0:12:02.280 you were like, oh, could be in a tough spot 0:12:02.360 --> 0:12:05.040 for Pops tomorrow. Do I have that right? 0:12:05.480 --> 0:12:08.840 It was? I mean, I'm never rooting for them to lose, 0:12:08.960 --> 0:12:12.160 but you know, certain teams like the Commanders, I understand, 0:12:12.280 --> 0:12:15.400 like the what are the optics on the Chiefs is 0:12:15.440 --> 0:12:18.000 they lose a game like this? I do. I'm never 0:12:18.080 --> 0:12:20.720 rooting for them to win or rooting for them to lose, 0:12:20.800 --> 0:12:23.559 but but yeah, sometimes I find it a little funny 0:12:24.080 --> 0:12:26.000 when teams hang around with them and stuff and it 0:12:26.040 --> 0:12:28.040 becomes like a bigger game than what it should have been. 0:12:28.600 --> 0:12:36.360 But okay, so listen, this game's here are my snap 0:12:36.440 --> 0:12:40.640 takeaways from it. Okay, So, Patrick, for just the second 0:12:40.679 --> 0:12:46.679 time all year, made a costly mistake. The pick that 0:12:46.800 --> 0:12:51.120 Lanimore got was at the time his third pick of 0:12:51.160 --> 0:12:54.439 the year. Two of what the Jags pick and the 0:12:54.520 --> 0:12:59.400 Latimore pick were, you know, bad throws and or bad decisions. 0:13:00.240 --> 0:13:04.320 And then all later in the first quarter, for the 0:13:04.400 --> 0:13:08.960 second time all year, Patrick made a great throat to 0:13:09.000 --> 0:13:12.800 Travis that Travis bobbled and got picked, and because of that, 0:13:13.200 --> 0:13:17.760 the Commanders were able to hang around. Luckily, the Chiefs 0:13:17.840 --> 0:13:22.160 are back to being the Chiefs in full and because 0:13:22.200 --> 0:13:25.680 of that, it flatly did not matter. They had a 0:13:25.800 --> 0:13:28.640 drive in Demondsey. They had a drive in this game 0:13:29.600 --> 0:13:34.200 that was one hundred and nineteen yard touchdown drive because 0:13:34.280 --> 0:13:37.840 they got it started on the six and they got 0:13:37.920 --> 0:13:41.880 penalties on it to where they had to recoup those yards. 0:13:42.400 --> 0:13:47.600 And as I have been screaming from the mountaintops for 0:13:47.679 --> 0:13:54.439 the better part of two years, all Patrick Mahomes' needs 0:13:55.080 --> 0:14:01.520 is a competent offensive line and a league abridge receiving 0:14:01.600 --> 0:14:04.880 corps which now they have above league average, and he 0:14:05.000 --> 0:14:07.880 will instantly look like the best player in the sport 0:14:07.960 --> 0:14:11.520 once again. And that's what's happened last night. By the way, 0:14:11.840 --> 0:14:16.120 the Chiefs without starting all Pro right guard Tray Smith 0:14:16.520 --> 0:14:18.240 or certainly pro bowler, I don't know if he's been 0:14:18.240 --> 0:14:20.920 in All Pro, and as they've been the last few 0:14:20.920 --> 0:14:24.640 weeks without starting left tackle Josh Simmons, and the Josh 0:14:24.640 --> 0:14:29.440 Simmons absence looked early on like it could be a problem, 0:14:29.480 --> 0:14:33.200 as Jalen Moore was struggling a bit with who was 0:14:33.240 --> 0:14:38.760 it that, oh, Jacob Martin, But the Chiefs steadied themselves 0:14:38.760 --> 0:14:44.479 at halftime and then after that, it's just an embarrassment 0:14:44.520 --> 0:14:48.960 of riches compared to the receiving corps that they had 0:14:49.120 --> 0:14:51.960 all of last season and the first few weeks of 0:14:52.000 --> 0:14:55.280 this season. And that leads to Travis running wide open, 0:14:55.680 --> 0:15:00.000 Rashi Rice just absolutely cutting people up in yards after 0:15:00.160 --> 0:15:02.880 the catch, and even in a game when Xavier Worthy 0:15:03.280 --> 0:15:08.680 does not do all that much and where Patrick doesn't 0:15:08.720 --> 0:15:12.440 do all that much with his legs, the Chiefs second 0:15:12.440 --> 0:15:17.440 half drives are just touchdown touchdown, touchdown, and that's it. 0:15:18.400 --> 0:15:24.239 And so here is the other major takeaway that impacts 0:15:24.320 --> 0:15:29.520 the season for Kansas City. I don't know if it's 0:15:29.600 --> 0:15:35.640 because Andy has adjusted his philosophy. I don't know if 0:15:35.680 --> 0:15:43.760 it's because Patrick has more sway or input on decision making. 0:15:44.160 --> 0:15:48.480 And I don't know if it's because Butcker had been 0:15:48.520 --> 0:15:52.200 so shaky to start the year. But for one reason 0:15:52.360 --> 0:15:56.800 or another, for the first time in Mahomes' career, he 0:15:57.000 --> 0:16:02.400 is on a team that is aggressive rather than conservative 0:16:02.560 --> 0:16:07.440 on fourth downs, and that changes everything for Kansas City. 0:16:07.720 --> 0:16:11.120 They went for a fourth down in their own territory 0:16:11.240 --> 0:16:14.240 early in the game. They went for a fourth and goal. 0:16:14.640 --> 0:16:18.160 They've been doing it all year long. Kareem Hunt is 0:16:18.400 --> 0:16:24.840 just automatic on these fourth and one plays, and because 0:16:24.880 --> 0:16:28.200 of that, they are getting seven when they used to 0:16:28.240 --> 0:16:32.920 get three, and it makes them all the more dynamic 0:16:32.960 --> 0:16:36.000 and all the more dangerous. And I, of course now 0:16:37.000 --> 0:16:43.120 have to remind the audience that since the tackle that 0:16:43.240 --> 0:16:47.760 turned the tide, the Chiefs are a guaranteed minimum twenty 0:16:47.800 --> 0:16:54.200 eight points a game. Once again, they in that Giant's game, 0:16:54.720 --> 0:17:00.000 pre and post tackle that turned the tide, they score 0:17:00.760 --> 0:17:05.040 what thirteen second half points and then after that thirty 0:17:05.080 --> 0:17:08.240 seven against the Ravens, twenty eight against the Jags despite 0:17:08.240 --> 0:17:11.480 a pick at the one yard line, thirty against the Lions, 0:17:11.800 --> 0:17:13.840 despite taking their foot off. No, they didn't take the 0:17:13.840 --> 0:17:15.520 four of the cast in that game was the Ravens game, 0:17:15.680 --> 0:17:19.280 thirty seven against Baltimore through three quarters, twenty eight against 0:17:19.320 --> 0:17:22.359 the Jags, thirty against the Lions, thirty one against the 0:17:22.440 --> 0:17:27.480 Raiders despite going to benching Mahomes in the fourth quarter, 0:17:27.840 --> 0:17:35.720 and twenty eight against the Commanders despite a honestly nothing 0:17:36.840 --> 0:17:43.280 first half. And now they do have demons a real 0:17:44.040 --> 0:17:49.960 AFC playoff team gauntlet coming up Sunday at the Bills, 0:17:50.480 --> 0:17:53.920 then a bye week, then at the Broncos, then home 0:17:53.960 --> 0:17:58.760 for the Colts, and that will that three game stretch 0:17:58.800 --> 0:18:02.120 will determine the AFC West, it will go a long 0:18:02.160 --> 0:18:06.760 way to determining the AFC East for where the Bill's purposes, 0:18:07.160 --> 0:18:09.080 and it will go a long way to determining the 0:18:09.160 --> 0:18:13.359 number one seed in the AFC. And so I could 0:18:13.359 --> 0:18:17.280 not feel better about where this team is right now. 0:18:17.359 --> 0:18:20.080 And oh yeah, by the way, the defense has allowed 0:18:20.119 --> 0:18:23.160 seven points in the last two weeks, so pretty good, 0:18:23.800 --> 0:18:24.280 go ahead. 0:18:24.560 --> 0:18:26.840 That's pretty crazy to think about it. I think about it, 0:18:26.920 --> 0:18:29.720 But how are you feeling your confidence level going into 0:18:29.720 --> 0:18:32.159 this Buffalo game? On Sunday? We saw the Buffalo just 0:18:32.200 --> 0:18:34.280 took care of the Panthers after the Bible. 0:18:34.320 --> 0:18:42.560 So it's weird. It's weird because I don't think, if 0:18:42.600 --> 0:18:48.120 I'm being totally honest, I don't think any results gonna 0:18:48.160 --> 0:18:53.439 make me feel good because if they lose, obviously that 0:18:53.800 --> 0:18:59.720 hurts them dramatically in seeding and all of that. But 0:19:01.760 --> 0:19:03.719 they lose to the Bills every year in the regular 0:19:03.760 --> 0:19:07.240 season and then beat them in the playoffs, and if 0:19:07.280 --> 0:19:12.560 they win, then in the back of my head, I will. 0:19:12.240 --> 0:19:14.600 Be like, oh man, this is the opposite. 0:19:15.119 --> 0:19:17.960 Is this gonna be flipped this year? Is this the 0:19:18.040 --> 0:19:20.359 year you beat them in the regular season and lose 0:19:20.480 --> 0:19:24.520 them in the postseason. With that said, I just don't 0:19:24.560 --> 0:19:30.720 think the Bills defense is that good, and particularly who 0:19:30.800 --> 0:19:34.640 is it is? It was it Ed Oliver who got 0:19:34.720 --> 0:19:39.560 hurt for the Bills. Yeah, Ed Oliver uh is gonna 0:19:39.600 --> 0:19:42.880 be out for the Chiefs game, and so he's their 0:19:42.920 --> 0:19:47.560 best defensive player. So that and Taylor rap was already out, 0:19:47.880 --> 0:19:54.320 so that already was concerning for Buffalo, and so that 0:19:55.040 --> 0:19:56.960 I think the Chiefs are gonna be able to move 0:19:57.000 --> 0:20:01.320 the ball. I don't want to say at will, but 0:20:01.440 --> 0:20:07.480 with relative ease against the Bills. And then the question 0:20:07.600 --> 0:20:10.280 is what can the Bills do against the Chiefs team 0:20:10.640 --> 0:20:14.560 that all of a sudden has the number two scoring 0:20:14.600 --> 0:20:20.320 off defense in football. The Houston Texans are allowing fourteen 0:20:20.400 --> 0:20:23.920 point seven points per game, The Kansasity Chiefs are allowing 0:20:24.359 --> 0:20:29.680 sixteen point four points per game. And so right now 0:20:29.720 --> 0:20:35.320 the Chiefs, the dynasty's over, the sky is falling. Mahomes 0:20:35.359 --> 0:20:39.359 isn't Mahomes anymore. Right now, the Chiefs have the number 0:20:39.400 --> 0:20:45.720 two scoring defense and currently the number six scoring offense, 0:20:46.359 --> 0:20:51.480 which is less than one point away from being the 0:20:51.560 --> 0:20:57.600 number five scoring offense. And they've done it, contrary to 0:20:57.640 --> 0:21:02.480 what I think steven A said this morning. They've done 0:21:02.520 --> 0:21:08.920 it against what's supposed to be elite competition, the Ravens, 0:21:09.240 --> 0:21:13.080 the Lions. Obviously they lost to the Chargers and the Eagles, 0:21:13.080 --> 0:21:16.159 but the defense played well in the Eagles game, not 0:21:16.200 --> 0:21:18.879 so much the Chargers game. And now they're about to 0:21:20.760 --> 0:21:23.760 you know, they've got a real This was remember if 0:21:23.800 --> 0:21:26.919 you remember to Mon's ay, this stretch of games is 0:21:27.040 --> 0:21:31.160 why I said before the year that if Rashi's gonna 0:21:31.200 --> 0:21:34.000 be suspended, which he obviously was going to be suspended, 0:21:34.280 --> 0:21:36.920 that I wanted it to be early rather than late. 0:21:37.880 --> 0:21:43.960 And they survived Rashi's suspension. They're now five and three, 0:21:44.560 --> 0:21:48.480 and now they have the stretch of football that will 0:21:48.520 --> 0:21:53.399 determine whether or not they win the AFC West for 0:21:53.600 --> 0:21:57.320 the what it would be tenth straight year, ninth straight year, 0:21:57.840 --> 0:22:00.320 and whether or not they have a real shot the 0:22:00.320 --> 0:22:05.360 one seed, because in the next thirty days they go 0:22:05.400 --> 0:22:09.080 to Buffalo, they get a bye, they go to Denver, 0:22:09.680 --> 0:22:13.920 they host the Colts, and four days after hosting the Colts, 0:22:14.240 --> 0:22:20.000 they're in Dallas on Thanksgiving and what will be Yeah, 0:22:20.040 --> 0:22:22.800 and that Dallas game will be I'm gonna go ahead 0:22:22.800 --> 0:22:24.600 and say it now. I wish it were a Fox game. 0:22:24.680 --> 0:22:28.160 It's obviously it's not. It's a CBS game. That'll be 0:22:29.359 --> 0:22:35.560 the highest rated regular season NFL game in years and 0:22:35.720 --> 0:22:43.480 years and years and the because Thanksgiving, the Cowboys Thanksgiving 0:22:43.560 --> 0:22:46.480 game always is the highest rated regular season game of 0:22:46.480 --> 0:22:50.840 the year. And now it's the Cowboys Thanksgiving against Patrick Mahomes. 0:22:51.480 --> 0:22:53.280 All right, what else do we have on this before 0:22:53.280 --> 0:22:54.240 we get to other stuff? 0:22:54.400 --> 0:22:57.320 Where do you think Rashi Rice ranks amongst like top 0:22:57.359 --> 0:23:00.720 weapons Mahomes has ever had him at like two? 0:23:02.440 --> 0:23:05.080 Well, no, I mean he couldn't be higher Tyreek or Kelsey. 0:23:06.080 --> 0:23:08.480 Oh yeah, okay, I was taking Kelsey out. I was 0:23:08.480 --> 0:23:10.000 just thinking receivers, but I guess. 0:23:10.160 --> 0:23:17.520 You were just yeah, amongst receivers, he would be number two. 0:23:18.640 --> 0:23:27.119 Amongst weapons, he actually he actually might be number four 0:23:28.640 --> 0:23:34.920 at the with Kelsey, Tyreek and number three as far 0:23:35.000 --> 0:23:40.640 as weapons Mahomes has ever had. Who'd you say? 0:23:40.880 --> 0:23:42.480 I was gonna say, Mcole Hartman. 0:23:43.400 --> 0:23:49.200 No, Mahomes' first year as a starter before he got 0:23:49.320 --> 0:23:54.680 kicked off the team, Kareem Hunt and he's back now, obviously, 0:23:54.960 --> 0:24:00.720 But Kareem the year before Mahomes got there, or Mahomes 0:24:00.760 --> 0:24:04.440 was there. But Kareem and Mahomes were rookies the same year. 0:24:04.880 --> 0:24:09.360 But obviously Mahomes didn't play his rookie year. Kareem's rookie season, 0:24:10.600 --> 0:24:15.800 he had thirteen hundred yards rushing, four hundred and fifty 0:24:15.920 --> 0:24:23.439 yards receiving almost eighteen hundred total yards, and eleven touchdowns. Mahomes' 0:24:23.600 --> 0:24:29.040 first year as a starter, Kareem played eleven games. In 0:24:29.080 --> 0:24:35.760 those eleven games, he had twelve hundred yards total receiving 0:24:35.800 --> 0:24:40.920 and rushing and fourteen touchdowns and then he got kicked 0:24:40.960 --> 0:24:48.080 off the team for the domestic violence incident. And the 0:24:48.160 --> 0:24:51.440 Chiefs have never had a thousand yard rusher in that timeframe, 0:24:51.440 --> 0:24:54.800 and Mahomes whole career as a starter, so that he 0:24:55.160 --> 0:25:02.720 was dynamic, and so that's how But Rashi has a 0:25:02.840 --> 0:25:07.040 chance to be, without a doubt, the third best weapon 0:25:07.160 --> 0:25:09.440 Mahomes has ever had, if he's not already, I mean, 0:25:09.520 --> 0:25:14.320 Rashi is. Rashi is such a great player. He's just 0:25:14.359 --> 0:25:22.040 a great, great player, and his teammates adore him, which 0:25:22.080 --> 0:25:25.760 is helpful given the trouble he got himself in off 0:25:25.760 --> 0:25:27.800 the field and then obviously him having to deal with 0:25:27.840 --> 0:25:30.680 the injury. All Right, one look at the other side 0:25:30.720 --> 0:25:31.280 of this game. 0:25:31.880 --> 0:25:34.600 So Washington has a pretty tough schedule coming up. They 0:25:34.680 --> 0:25:36.800 came into the last game with some injuries and they're 0:25:36.880 --> 0:25:39.080 leaving this game with some more. Do you think it's 0:25:39.160 --> 0:25:41.439 time to sell all your washingtons? 0:25:42.960 --> 0:25:47.240 So yeah, I mean, so there's I guess there's two 0:25:47.240 --> 0:25:50.280 ways to talk about selling with the Commanders. One is 0:25:50.840 --> 0:25:55.280 selling their stock figuratively like you're talking about and absolutely 0:25:56.000 --> 0:25:59.600 if you if you're holding any Washington stock at this point, 0:25:59.800 --> 0:26:03.600 that's going to zero for this season. They're three and 0:26:03.800 --> 0:26:10.360 five next to Seahawks, Lions, still games left against the Broncos, 0:26:10.400 --> 0:26:15.159 Cowboys and two against the Eagles. This absolutely could be 0:26:15.240 --> 0:26:21.480 a year from hell six and eleven Season four the Commanders. 0:26:22.840 --> 0:26:31.600 As far as trading off players, I mean, if I 0:26:31.640 --> 0:26:37.879 don't know what players they have that would be teams 0:26:37.880 --> 0:26:46.000 would be super excited about going after. So I if 0:26:46.040 --> 0:26:55.600 you could get a team to bite on Marshawn Lattimore, 0:26:56.440 --> 0:26:59.639 I would trade him. But you just traded for him 0:26:59.680 --> 0:27:05.600 a year ago. I don't so I don't think that's realistic. Obviously, 0:27:06.240 --> 0:27:10.719 you want you just extended McLaurin, you just traded for Debo. 0:27:11.200 --> 0:27:19.879 Those guys you're holding on to Doran Payne, maybe I 0:27:19.920 --> 0:27:24.520 think you would have to consider trading Doran Payin. He's 0:27:24.520 --> 0:27:27.000 got one year left on his contract after this, but 0:27:27.040 --> 0:27:31.639 he's probably your best defensive player. So maybe maybe you 0:27:31.800 --> 0:27:37.200 just kind of have to stampat if you're Washington because 0:27:37.880 --> 0:27:41.000 you feel like this is just an unlucky regression year 0:27:41.680 --> 0:27:45.399 and those are you know that you'll be back next season, 0:27:45.680 --> 0:27:49.400 but demon's they're done, Like do you do you think 0:27:49.400 --> 0:27:52.639 I'm overstating it. I think they have no shot of 0:27:52.680 --> 0:27:55.600 being I picked them to win that division. Yeah, I 0:27:55.640 --> 0:27:58.800 think that they are. If we look at the the 0:27:58.920 --> 0:28:06.680 NFC playoff picture right now, if just the way the 0:28:06.720 --> 0:28:15.000 standings read for the playoff picture, Green Bay, Philly, Tampa, Seattle, Detroit, Rams, Niners. 0:28:15.040 --> 0:28:20.040 Those your five win teams. Then you have Chicago and 0:28:20.119 --> 0:28:26.639 Carolina as four win teams, Dallas, Atlanta, Minnesota, Washington is 0:28:26.680 --> 0:28:31.560 three win teams even if you feel like San Francisco, 0:28:32.160 --> 0:28:36.720 because I to me, Green Bay, Philly, Tampa, Detroit and 0:28:36.760 --> 0:28:39.960 the Rams are just really good teams that are gonna 0:28:40.240 --> 0:28:44.080 make it. I also think Seattle is a pretty damn 0:28:44.120 --> 0:28:47.000 good team. It doesn't feel like they have the faith 0:28:47.080 --> 0:28:51.760 of the rest of the nation entirely, and the Rams 0:28:51.800 --> 0:28:54.280
