33
00:02:03,520 --> 00:02:05,480
Speaker 2: which means we've done about two hundred and twenty of

34
00:02:05,520 --> 00:02:08,880
Speaker 2: these because in our episode count we don't include that

35
00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:13,280
Speaker 2: original NBA player ranking series, which at some point we

36
00:02:13,320 --> 00:02:16,959
Speaker 2: will need to update. Demanse Looking Dapper for the second

37
00:02:17,040 --> 00:02:19,720
Speaker 2: straight show. Because it's our two hundred show.

38
00:02:19,760 --> 00:02:22,799
Speaker 3: I think those episodes incorporated into the number.

39
00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:26,480
Speaker 2: Oh, we do include those in the overall count. Okay,

40
00:02:26,520 --> 00:02:30,240
Speaker 2: then this is official. This is our exact two hundredth episode.

41
00:02:30,240 --> 00:02:32,359
Speaker 2: I didn't know that initially, we didn't. We must have

42
00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:35,320
Speaker 2: backdated some of the episodes. So yes, we have now

43
00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:38,160
Speaker 2: done two hundred of these. What's right with Nick? Right?

44
00:02:38,200 --> 00:02:41,840
Speaker 2: And we might have a surprise in studio guest. We

45
00:02:41,919 --> 00:02:45,200
Speaker 2: also might not have a surprise in studio guest, as

46
00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:48,440
Speaker 2: that person's phone is going directly to voicemail as we speak,

47
00:02:48,560 --> 00:02:51,839
Speaker 2: So maybe they're coming, maybe they're not. Demanse I think

48
00:02:51,919 --> 00:02:55,080
Speaker 2: has some things planned to commemorate the two hundredth episode,

49
00:02:55,120 --> 00:02:57,919
Speaker 2: but other than that, we're into a straightforward gambling show

50
00:02:58,760 --> 00:03:01,720
Speaker 2: in the B block, our regular show here in the A's,

51
00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:03,960
Speaker 2: and where we're gonna start is with what missed the cut?

52
00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:06,040
Speaker 2: And one of the things that missed the cut didn't

53
00:03:06,080 --> 00:03:07,840
Speaker 2: really miss the cut, because we're gonna talk about it

54
00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:11,480
Speaker 2: for a moment, Yannis dropping sixty four points on the Pacers.

55
00:03:11,480 --> 00:03:14,079
Speaker 2: More on that in the moment, Travis Kelsey calls out

56
00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:17,240
Speaker 2: media over their wide receiver takes and my take on

57
00:03:17,320 --> 00:03:20,280
Speaker 2: a third live action Willy Wonka movie. I like the

58
00:03:20,320 --> 00:03:23,520
Speaker 2: Willy Wonka movies. Let's talk Giannis and the Pacers just

59
00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:26,200
Speaker 2: for a moment, and then we'll get to the actual game.

60
00:03:26,680 --> 00:03:31,800
Speaker 2: So I just got into the most ridiculous argument with

61
00:03:31,960 --> 00:03:34,840
Speaker 2: Kevin Wilds on the zoom call for First Things First,

62
00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:38,400
Speaker 2: because Wilds just said flippantly he was like, I know

63
00:03:38,520 --> 00:03:42,000
Speaker 2: Yai as part of Yannis's potential anger, he was like,

64
00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:44,160
Speaker 2: I know Yannis has a ton of money. He's like,

65
00:03:44,240 --> 00:03:48,880
Speaker 2: but that basketball is worth hundreds of thousands of dollars.

66
00:03:49,480 --> 00:03:51,760
Speaker 2: And I thought that was maybe the worst sports take

67
00:03:51,800 --> 00:03:54,640
Speaker 2: of twenty twenty three. Maybe got it in right under

68
00:03:54,680 --> 00:03:57,280
Speaker 2: the wire that if Yannis was like, you know what,

69
00:03:57,320 --> 00:04:00,800
Speaker 2: I'm gonna auction this ball off for charity, it's the game,

70
00:04:00,920 --> 00:04:03,680
Speaker 2: use ball for my career high that you could get

71
00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:08,400
Speaker 2: hundreds of thousands of dollars, I think probably twenty five

72
00:04:08,480 --> 00:04:11,320
Speaker 2: thousand is maybe the north end of it. Wilds is

73
00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:13,360
Speaker 2: convinced I'm out of my mind. But that is not

74
00:04:13,480 --> 00:04:16,839
Speaker 2: the real takeaway. Demons. Here is my takeaway, and then

75
00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:18,919
Speaker 2: I'll get yours, and then we'll get into the actual show.

76
00:04:19,560 --> 00:04:24,000
Speaker 2: I have two takeaways. First one, is this more success

77
00:04:24,040 --> 00:04:27,719
Speaker 2: for the n season tournament. What do I mean Pacers

78
00:04:28,120 --> 00:04:31,919
Speaker 2: Bucks is a little rivalry now because of the nd

79
00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:36,520
Speaker 2: season tournament. They played each other a couple weeks before

80
00:04:36,560 --> 00:04:39,640
Speaker 2: the nd season tournament and then they played in the semifinals.

81
00:04:40,200 --> 00:04:43,920
Speaker 2: Haliburton did the Dame time thing, the Pacers sent them

82
00:04:43,960 --> 00:04:48,080
Speaker 2: home last night. Yannis plays with you know, an anger,

83
00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:52,000
Speaker 2: takes some hard fouls, scores a career high, a Bucks

84
00:04:52,040 --> 00:04:55,479
Speaker 2: franchise record, So a real rivalrybutting that I don't know

85
00:04:55,560 --> 00:04:58,640
Speaker 2: happens without the semifinal game between these two teams. That's

86
00:04:58,680 --> 00:05:02,680
Speaker 2: first point. Here's my second point. I think Yannis is

87
00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:07,680
Speaker 2: pressed right now. I think Yannis is a little anxious

88
00:05:07,880 --> 00:05:12,240
Speaker 2: and a little uptight about despite being seventeen and seven,

89
00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:16,320
Speaker 2: despite uh, you know, obviously having one of the best

90
00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:18,960
Speaker 2: games of his career last night. I don't think he

91
00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:23,279
Speaker 2: feels like this season has gone quite as smoothly as

92
00:05:23,279 --> 00:05:27,240
Speaker 2: he anticipated with the addition of Damian Lillard. I think

93
00:05:27,240 --> 00:05:31,800
Speaker 2: there's real anxiety about how great the Bucks actually are,

94
00:05:32,360 --> 00:05:35,400
Speaker 2: whether or not they're even the favorites in the East,

95
00:05:35,520 --> 00:05:38,320
Speaker 2: let alone in all of the NBA. And I think

96
00:05:38,320 --> 00:05:41,200
Speaker 2: you're seeing some of that bubble up. What was your

97
00:05:41,279 --> 00:05:42,040
Speaker 2: takeaway on it?

98
00:05:43,640 --> 00:05:47,080
Speaker 3: Well, my takeaway was that he's just a giant baby.

99
00:05:48,279 --> 00:05:50,960
Speaker 3: I think there's been a couple incidents of Yannis throwing

100
00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:54,359
Speaker 3: tantrums at the end of games. I do get it,

101
00:05:54,400 --> 00:05:57,000
Speaker 3: but it it seemed like that ball might not have

102
00:05:57,080 --> 00:05:59,560
Speaker 3: even been taken at the end of the game.

103
00:06:00,600 --> 00:06:06,560
Speaker 2: So I have not yet fully digested the full Rob Perez,

104
00:06:06,600 --> 00:06:09,680
Speaker 2: who does a great job with these things investigation, he

105
00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:13,560
Speaker 2: does a twit twelve minute what he called WOB investigation

106
00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:18,000
Speaker 2: Worldwide WOB. That is Rob Perez on Twitter. You should

107
00:06:18,040 --> 00:06:19,640
Speaker 2: check it out. He'll get to the bottom of it.

108
00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:23,000
Speaker 2: I'm sure there did seem to be some confusion. Giannis

109
00:06:23,080 --> 00:06:25,960
Speaker 2: was adamant. I've played with the ball all day. I

110
00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:28,160
Speaker 2: know what the game ball was. The ball they gave

111
00:06:28,200 --> 00:06:31,120
Speaker 2: me is not the game ball. The Pacers were trying

112
00:06:31,120 --> 00:06:32,839
Speaker 2: to get it for a rookie who had never scored

113
00:06:32,880 --> 00:06:35,760
Speaker 2: a point, except he actually did score a point in

114
00:06:35,800 --> 00:06:39,760
Speaker 2: the nd season tournament final, but technically those points don't

115
00:06:39,800 --> 00:06:42,840
Speaker 2: count because the nd season Tournament final is like a

116
00:06:42,880 --> 00:06:46,600
Speaker 2: standalone thing. So the whole thing seems silly and petty.

117
00:06:46,960 --> 00:06:49,840
Speaker 2: That really I think comes from the Bucks being a

118
00:06:49,839 --> 00:06:53,880
Speaker 2: little pressed. That's my takeaway. Speaking demons of people being

119
00:06:53,960 --> 00:06:56,840
Speaker 2: pressed Draymond Green. Now we can get into the actual

120
00:06:56,880 --> 00:06:57,760
Speaker 2: topics of the show.

121
00:06:57,800 --> 00:07:01,160
Speaker 3: Go ahead. Yeah, So Draymond Green and just got suspended

122
00:07:01,160 --> 00:07:06,320
Speaker 3: indefinitely obviously through the spinning backfist and knock Nurkids to

123
00:07:06,360 --> 00:07:08,560
Speaker 3: the ground. He's saying that he doesn't even have the

124
00:07:08,600 --> 00:07:13,040
Speaker 3: coordination or accuracy to land something like that. I've got

125
00:07:13,120 --> 00:07:15,720
Speaker 3: a couple of theories on the situation, but are you

126
00:07:15,800 --> 00:07:16,280
Speaker 3: buying that?

127
00:07:18,160 --> 00:07:23,680
Speaker 2: Well, so listen. Obviously I'm not buying Draymond's explanation, and

128
00:07:23,760 --> 00:07:29,960
Speaker 2: obviously the NBA isn't either, And because his explanation is

129
00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:35,200
Speaker 2: that he needs coordination classes, not therapy, not help, And

130
00:07:35,280 --> 00:07:36,960
Speaker 2: Kevin Durant came out and said, I hope he gets

131
00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:38,880
Speaker 2: the help he needs. Nurkic said, I hope he gets

132
00:07:38,920 --> 00:07:40,520
Speaker 2: the help he needs. And then the Warriors in the

133
00:07:40,600 --> 00:07:42,480
Speaker 2: NBA came out and said, yeah, he needs help.

134
00:07:43,080 --> 00:07:45,840
Speaker 3: I actually therapy, Like what do you mean by.

135
00:07:45,760 --> 00:07:49,200
Speaker 2: An anger management something? I don't know to deal with what?

136
00:07:49,400 --> 00:07:54,200
Speaker 2: But it doesn't jive with his own explanation, so I

137
00:07:54,240 --> 00:07:59,080
Speaker 2: have I Most people reacted to this like, oh wow,

138
00:07:59,560 --> 00:08:02,920
Speaker 2: Adam's Silver in the NBA came down hard on Draymond

139
00:08:03,280 --> 00:08:07,200
Speaker 2: That was not my reaction because there is I need

140
00:08:07,240 --> 00:08:11,200
Speaker 2: to see how long the suspension actually is. I think

141
00:08:11,320 --> 00:08:15,120
Speaker 2: it needs to be a minimum of ten games, and

142
00:08:15,160 --> 00:08:18,160
Speaker 2: if you tell me it's fifteen or twenty, I'll listen

143
00:08:18,200 --> 00:08:20,640
Speaker 2: to that. I won't think that's out of line. So

144
00:08:20,720 --> 00:08:24,160
Speaker 2: if you want to call it indefinite, I wish Adam

145
00:08:24,240 --> 00:08:30,320
Speaker 2: Silver had said that it was a minimum of ten games.

146
00:08:30,920 --> 00:08:32,960
Speaker 2: You know what I mean. But it will be indefinite.

147
00:08:33,320 --> 00:08:36,720
Speaker 2: But here is the full statement the NBA released. Golden

148
00:08:36,760 --> 00:08:39,680
Speaker 2: State Warriors forward Draymond Green's been suspended in definitely for

149
00:08:39,720 --> 00:08:42,440
Speaker 2: striking Phoenix Sun centered use of nurkicch in the face.

150
00:08:42,679 --> 00:08:46,600
Speaker 2: It was announced Tuesday or today by Joe Dumars. Whatever

151
00:08:46,800 --> 00:08:51,600
Speaker 2: the outcome takes into account Green's repeated history of unsportsmanlike x.

152
00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:56,160
Speaker 2: Green's suspension will begin immediately. He will be required to

153
00:08:56,200 --> 00:09:01,080
Speaker 2: meet certain league and team conditions before he returns to play.

154
00:09:01,920 --> 00:09:04,920
Speaker 2: I think that there should have just been an additional

155
00:09:04,960 --> 00:09:08,600
Speaker 2: line that says the suspension will be a minimum of

156
00:09:08,960 --> 00:09:12,960
Speaker 2: x amount of games. And I also think that the

157
00:09:13,080 --> 00:09:21,840
Speaker 2: NBA they are taking almost the restorative approach, Like we're

158
00:09:21,880 --> 00:09:24,520
Speaker 2: worried about Draymond, we want what's best for him. He

159
00:09:24,600 --> 00:09:27,080
Speaker 2: needs to go through these things, similar to what they

160
00:09:27,120 --> 00:09:30,000
Speaker 2: initially did with Jaw the first time. There was the

161
00:09:30,040 --> 00:09:32,400
Speaker 2: gun thing where it's like, you know he's gonna step

162
00:09:32,440 --> 00:09:34,880
Speaker 2: away and you know get the help he needs at

163
00:09:34,880 --> 00:09:36,760
Speaker 2: some point. And I know I'm gonna sound like an

164
00:09:36,760 --> 00:09:42,080
Speaker 2: old man. Punishments need to be punitive, not just there,

165
00:09:42,120 --> 00:09:45,880
Speaker 2: not just about becoming a better person. It needs to

166
00:09:45,920 --> 00:09:49,160
Speaker 2: be You acted a fool. You could have broken this

167
00:09:49,240 --> 00:09:54,560
Speaker 2: guy's eye socket. You are in trouble. In addition to

168
00:09:54,679 --> 00:09:58,480
Speaker 2: the trouble, we want to give you a procedure so

169
00:09:58,559 --> 00:10:02,640
Speaker 2: you are less likely to do this again. But Draymond

170
00:10:02,679 --> 00:10:07,680
Speaker 2: Green is wildly out of control. He's and Demons's in

171
00:10:07,720 --> 00:10:12,520
Speaker 2: the last In the last fifteen months, he has sucker

172
00:10:12,559 --> 00:10:16,040
Speaker 2: punched a teammates. He has stopped on Sabonis's chest, he

173
00:10:16,240 --> 00:10:22,000
Speaker 2: has choked out Rudy Gobert, and he's backfisted Nurkice. And

174
00:10:22,080 --> 00:10:24,120
Speaker 2: I would argue, what do all four of those have

175
00:10:24,240 --> 00:10:27,000
Speaker 2: in common? The person he hit didn't see it coming,

176
00:10:28,200 --> 00:10:31,320
Speaker 2: So yes, I understand Jordan Poole was facing him, But

177
00:10:31,440 --> 00:10:35,080
Speaker 2: you're with teammates at practice. No matter what you say,

178
00:10:35,200 --> 00:10:39,480
Speaker 2: you don't think I'm about to get hit. Certainly, Sabonis

179
00:10:39,559 --> 00:10:42,640
Speaker 2: was not in position to defend himself. He's prone laying

180
00:10:42,679 --> 00:10:46,960
Speaker 2: on the ground. Gobert wasn't looking at Draymond, and Nurkic

181
00:10:47,120 --> 00:10:51,680
Speaker 2: was just playing defense. This is like fake tough guy books.

182
00:10:52,760 --> 00:10:56,760
Speaker 2: And the Warriors own a lot of this because they didn't.

183
00:10:56,880 --> 00:11:00,720
Speaker 2: Draymond got in no trouble for the pool thing because

184
00:11:00,920 --> 00:11:06,000
Speaker 2: Ring Night, the ceremony was so important, and I just

185
00:11:06,360 --> 00:11:10,120
Speaker 2: here's my other question. So right now, Draymond take out

186
00:11:10,160 --> 00:11:14,319
Speaker 2: the pool thing. In the last twenty six games he's played,

187
00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:20,559
Speaker 2: he has three overtly violent acts the stomp, the choke,

188
00:11:21,040 --> 00:11:25,600
Speaker 2: and the backfist that's won every nine games. Can't go

189
00:11:25,679 --> 00:11:29,880
Speaker 2: three weeks of basketball without it. Let's say he gets

190
00:11:29,920 --> 00:11:36,120
Speaker 2: fifteen games. If he does this again, what's the next penalty?

191
00:11:37,520 --> 00:11:41,280
Speaker 2: If there is another totally I'm not talking about a

192
00:11:41,280 --> 00:11:48,080
Speaker 2: hard foul, but totally outside the scope of basketball violent act,

193
00:11:48,640 --> 00:11:53,360
Speaker 2: what is the next penalty? Because I would argue the

194
00:11:53,400 --> 00:11:58,199
Speaker 2: next penalty is you're done for the year. That we

195
00:11:58,240 --> 00:12:02,280
Speaker 2: look at these two incidents this year as first two

196
00:12:02,360 --> 00:12:06,120
Speaker 2: strikes and the next one. No matter when and where

197
00:12:06,160 --> 00:12:09,439
Speaker 2: it happens, if it happens, And at this point, how

198
00:12:09,480 --> 00:12:14,440
Speaker 2: can anyone think it's not going to happen. Uh, He's

199
00:12:14,520 --> 00:12:18,760
Speaker 2: just done for the season. And I feel badly for Steph.

200
00:12:18,840 --> 00:12:22,760
Speaker 2: Man tell you that much. Right now, Wiggins hadn't been

201
00:12:22,800 --> 00:12:26,880
Speaker 2: the same player since the championship. Clay God love him,

202
00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:30,640
Speaker 2: is a shell of himself. The young players haven't grown

203
00:12:30,679 --> 00:12:34,000
Speaker 2: the way you would expect, and Draymond is spiraling out

204
00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:38,719
Speaker 2: of control. Right, All of those things are fair statements.

205
00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:42,680
Speaker 2: And then you have Steph playing some of the best

206
00:12:42,720 --> 00:12:49,880
Speaker 2: ball of his life still unbelievably and it is and

207
00:12:49,920 --> 00:12:51,600
Speaker 2: I'm the right now, I'm looking at my phone because

208
00:12:51,600 --> 00:12:54,319
Speaker 2: I wanted to check and see say it again.

209
00:12:54,720 --> 00:12:58,080
Speaker 3: It's like, do it for Steph Draymond, you know, but

210
00:12:58,200 --> 00:13:03,400
Speaker 3: he can't get people, he can't control himself, is right?

211
00:13:03,960 --> 00:13:04,840
Speaker 2: Am I wrong on that?

212
00:13:05,760 --> 00:13:06,520
Speaker 3: Yeah?

213
00:13:06,559 --> 00:13:09,520
Speaker 2: Go ahead, No, I was just seeing if Draymond's still podcasting.

214
00:13:10,160 --> 00:13:13,000
Speaker 3: I think that maybe that he's trying to build up

215
00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:16,520
Speaker 3: a resume so that when when the Warriors realize that

216
00:13:16,559 --> 00:13:19,959
Speaker 3: he's washed. Dana White's seen some moves that he's put

217
00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:21,720
Speaker 3: out in the NBA and maybe he'll pick him up

218
00:13:21,760 --> 00:13:22,680
Speaker 3: and give him a contract.

219
00:13:23,160 --> 00:13:26,560
Speaker 2: But well, so hold on real quick. But do you

220
00:13:26,600 --> 00:13:31,400
Speaker 2: have another theory as well or can I expand on that?

221
00:13:32,160 --> 00:13:33,440
Speaker 3: Go ahead? Go ahead?

222
00:13:33,600 --> 00:13:38,960
Speaker 2: So I mean you're joking mostly. But as far as

223
00:13:39,040 --> 00:13:43,240
Speaker 2: Draymond's post career career, he was supposed to have had

224
00:13:43,280 --> 00:13:48,880
Speaker 2: one lined up take over for Berkley on inside the NBA.

225
00:13:49,440 --> 00:13:52,640
Speaker 2: I think he's putting that in jeopardy. I think that

226
00:13:54,800 --> 00:13:58,439
Speaker 2: he's not retiring anytime soon. He just signed a four year,

227
00:13:58,559 --> 00:14:01,040
Speaker 2: hundred million dollar deal. That's the other part of it.

228
00:14:01,080 --> 00:14:02,800
Speaker 2: The Warriors are on the hook for all this right,

229
00:14:03,440 --> 00:14:07,720
Speaker 2: four year, one hundred million dollar deal. In five years,

230
00:14:07,840 --> 00:14:12,520
Speaker 2: if Draymond retires, what will he be most known for?

231
00:14:13,800 --> 00:14:17,960
Speaker 2: What will that era of NBA fans when they see Draymond?

232
00:14:18,040 --> 00:14:23,520
Speaker 2: Will they think a key cog of a dynasty or

233
00:14:23,560 --> 00:14:28,560
Speaker 2: will they think a crazy person? And listen, he is

234
00:14:28,640 --> 00:14:31,200
Speaker 2: one of the greatest defensive players ever. He is, in

235
00:14:31,280 --> 00:14:34,600
Speaker 2: my opinion, the second most important warrior of the dynasty.

236
00:14:34,880 --> 00:14:41,920
Speaker 2: But he's lost the plot. And as anyone can tell

237
00:14:41,960 --> 00:14:45,440
Speaker 2: you in any industry, and we've talked about this on

238
00:14:45,520 --> 00:14:50,480
Speaker 2: the show many times, if you are high maintenance, if

239
00:14:50,520 --> 00:14:54,280
Speaker 2: you are a problem, if you are constantly a headache,

240
00:14:54,560 --> 00:14:59,960
Speaker 2: the moment your value starts to drop. People start looking

241
00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:03,440
Speaker 2: for exit plans, they start trying to be able to

242
00:15:03,440 --> 00:15:07,560
Speaker 2: pull the ripcord. And I don't know what the Warriors

243
00:15:07,600 --> 00:15:12,400
Speaker 2: do now, because right now, who wants to take on

244
00:15:12,520 --> 00:15:17,040
Speaker 2: Draymond's deal four years, one hundred million bucks. They didn't

245
00:15:17,080 --> 00:15:21,320
Speaker 2: sign Clay. Now, basketball wise, that looks like a smart decision,

246
00:15:21,520 --> 00:15:25,080
Speaker 2: vibes wise, it might have really messed with Clay. Reportedly,

247
00:15:25,120 --> 00:15:28,120
Speaker 2: he was offered two years forty eight million dollar extension.

248
00:15:28,200 --> 00:15:32,480
Speaker 2: He turned it down. I have no idea what type

249
00:15:32,480 --> 00:15:35,440
Speaker 2: of money Klay Thompson would get right now on the

250
00:15:35,480 --> 00:15:39,680
Speaker 2: open market. We love Clay, but he can't guard anymore

251
00:15:39,760 --> 00:15:42,720
Speaker 2: and he's just not the same guy, and he.

252
00:15:42,640 --> 00:15:45,920
Speaker 3: Is getting a more extended contract than Clay Thompson. Was

253
00:15:45,920 --> 00:15:46,400
Speaker 3: that because of.

254
00:15:46,480 --> 00:15:50,840
Speaker 2: Claytons well, for two reasons. One was Draymond was a

255
00:15:50,880 --> 00:15:54,440
Speaker 2: true free agent, so Draymond could leave. Clay still had

256
00:15:54,520 --> 00:15:58,120
Speaker 2: this year left on his deal, so they weren't forced

257
00:15:58,160 --> 00:16:01,640
Speaker 2: to do it. And Clay is maybe it's the contract,

258
00:16:01,720 --> 00:16:05,160
Speaker 2: maybe it's the wear and tearor but Clay last year

259
00:16:05,760 --> 00:16:08,200
Speaker 2: he was bad in the playoffs, but in the regular

260
00:16:08,320 --> 00:16:11,520
Speaker 2: season he was good. He was twenty to a game,

261
00:16:11,640 --> 00:16:14,360
Speaker 2: forty four percent from the field, forty one percent from

262
00:16:14,400 --> 00:16:18,280
Speaker 2: three better three point I mean identical three point percentage

263
00:16:18,280 --> 00:16:22,280
Speaker 2: to his career average. This year, He's fifteen a game,

264
00:16:23,120 --> 00:16:26,440
Speaker 2: thirty nine percent from the field, thirty four percent from three.

265
00:16:27,120 --> 00:16:30,880
Speaker 2: It looks like it went for it. Warriors in a

266
00:16:31,040 --> 00:16:35,840
Speaker 2: really rough spot, which is pretty remarkable considering the fact

267
00:16:36,200 --> 00:16:42,360
Speaker 2: that Steph has been brilliant once again. Steph twenty nine

268
00:16:42,400 --> 00:16:46,480
Speaker 2: to five and four on forty seven percent and forty

269
00:16:46,560 --> 00:16:50,040
Speaker 2: two percent from three on twelve threes a game. Just

270
00:16:50,280 --> 00:16:55,480
Speaker 2: absurd efficiency in numbers for Steph Curry. And one last

271
00:16:55,480 --> 00:16:58,920
Speaker 2: point on this Warriors gonna mess around and miss the

272
00:16:58,920 --> 00:17:04,400
Speaker 2: playoffs that right now demands. They're the eleven seed, okay,

273
00:17:04,880 --> 00:17:07,800
Speaker 2: and they're the eleven seed by a wide margin. They're

274
00:17:07,840 --> 00:17:10,359
Speaker 2: two and a half back of the ten. Here are

275
00:17:10,400 --> 00:17:15,080
Speaker 2: the teams ahead of them. Minnesota not going anywhere. Oka,

276
00:17:15,280 --> 00:17:19,320
Speaker 2: see I'm going top to bottom, not going anywhere, Dallas

277
00:17:20,320 --> 00:17:25,000
Speaker 2: not going anywhere. Denver obviously not going anywhere, the Lakers

278
00:17:25,400 --> 00:17:30,440
Speaker 2: not going anywhere, the Kings maybe so put a little

279
00:17:30,440 --> 00:17:37,520
Speaker 2: pin in them, the Rockets maybe, the Clippers maybe, and

280
00:17:37,520 --> 00:17:40,240
Speaker 2: then the Pelicans and Sons who are only gonna get better.

281
00:17:40,920 --> 00:17:46,720
Speaker 2: So what they need is to survive this next month

282
00:17:46,800 --> 00:17:50,360
Speaker 2: or however long it's gonna be without Draymond, probably make

283
00:17:50,480 --> 00:17:56,240
Speaker 2: up some ground and have Kings, Rockets, Clippers fall off

284
00:17:56,359 --> 00:18:00,840
Speaker 2: like you could see a Warrior's seat with the healthy

285
00:18:00,920 --> 00:18:05,440
Speaker 2: Steph Curry missed the playoffs all together. Just unbelievable.

286
00:18:05,480 --> 00:18:08,640
Speaker 3: All right, next a right, there are reports that Belichick

287
00:18:08,680 --> 00:18:10,359
Speaker 3: and the Patriots are gonna split up at the end

288
00:18:10,400 --> 00:18:13,040
Speaker 3: of the season. We all know that he's been trying

289
00:18:13,080 --> 00:18:16,280
Speaker 3: to chase Shula's record, but do we have faith in

290
00:18:16,359 --> 00:18:18,960
Speaker 3: him being this old and him being able to get there?

291
00:18:19,320 --> 00:18:20,800
Speaker 3: And where do you think that he'd end up if

292
00:18:20,840 --> 00:18:22,560
Speaker 3: you were to end up on another team next season?

293
00:18:23,560 --> 00:18:27,160
Speaker 2: So with the right team, I do think he could

294
00:18:27,160 --> 00:18:31,359
Speaker 2: get there. So the underrated part of the Patriots is

295
00:18:31,400 --> 00:18:35,000
Speaker 2: this last month they've had the best defense in the NFL,

296
00:18:35,440 --> 00:18:39,600
Speaker 2: despite not having Matthew Judan and despite not having Christian Gonzales.

297
00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:42,520
Speaker 2: They lost to the Colts, they allowed ten points. They

298
00:18:42,520 --> 00:18:44,960
Speaker 2: lost to the Giants, they allowed ten points. They lost

299
00:18:44,960 --> 00:18:48,480
Speaker 2: to the Chargers, they allowed six points. They beat the Steelers,

300
00:18:48,520 --> 00:18:53,119
Speaker 2: they allowed eighteen points. The defense has been quite good,

301
00:18:53,520 --> 00:18:57,760
Speaker 2: and that's Belichick's specialty. Obviously he should not be picking

302
00:18:57,800 --> 00:19:01,800
Speaker 2: the players anymore, and obviously the offensive side of the

303
00:19:01,880 --> 00:19:05,600
Speaker 2: game has kind of passed him by. But I have

304
00:19:05,760 --> 00:19:08,719
Speaker 2: the I'll tell you right now, Demonse, I have the

305
00:19:08,760 --> 00:19:11,880
Speaker 2: most fun option for him. So we can just go

306
00:19:11,960 --> 00:19:14,679
Speaker 2: division by division and talk about where there could be

307
00:19:14,720 --> 00:19:20,119
Speaker 2: openings where he could land. Okay, AFC East, the Dolphins

308
00:19:20,119 --> 00:19:23,320
Speaker 2: are obviously not gonna change coaches. The Bills might, the

309
00:19:23,400 --> 00:19:27,600
Speaker 2: Jets might. I do not think the Patriots would ever

310
00:19:27,840 --> 00:19:31,600
Speaker 2: trade him to one of those two teams. He hates

311
00:19:31,640 --> 00:19:34,080
Speaker 2: the Jets. I don't think he wants to go there.

312
00:19:34,640 --> 00:19:38,280
Speaker 2: And the Bills, if they were to move off of McDermott,

313
00:19:38,440 --> 00:19:41,320
Speaker 2: they would probably want an offensive minded head coach. So

314
00:19:41,440 --> 00:19:45,480
Speaker 2: let's cross out the AFC East the AFC North. There

315
00:19:45,480 --> 00:19:50,280
Speaker 2: will be no coaching changes. Ravens, Brown, Steelers, Bengals. They

316
00:19:50,480 --> 00:19:54,679
Speaker 2: people are speculating could Tomlin the Steelers move on from

317
00:19:54,720 --> 00:19:58,040
Speaker 2: Mike Tomlin. I think that's crazy, But if they did,

318
00:19:58,400 --> 00:20:02,560
Speaker 2: they wouldn't go to just, you know, an older defensive coach.

319
00:20:02,600 --> 00:20:05,240
Speaker 2: They would want to change things up entirely. I don't

320
00:20:05,240 --> 00:20:08,200
Speaker 2: think there's gonna be any coaching changes there. The AFC

321
00:20:08,280 --> 00:20:13,720
Speaker 2: South definitively will have no coaching changes. Jags, Colts, Texans, Titans,

322
00:20:14,240 --> 00:20:17,960
Speaker 2: I would think are all thrilled with their coaches. Vrabel. Yes,

323
00:20:17,960 --> 00:20:20,800
Speaker 2: they're having a tough year. They're not moving off Mike Brabel.

324
00:20:20,840 --> 00:20:22,919
Speaker 2: He's one of the better coaches in the league. So

325
00:20:23,080 --> 00:20:27,560
Speaker 2: cross that out the AFC West. Obviously, the Broncos and

326
00:20:27,640 --> 00:20:30,920
Speaker 2: Chiefs are not changing coaches. The Chargers likely will. The

327
00:20:31,000 --> 00:20:36,480
Speaker 2: Raiders already have. I think both of those franchises are

328
00:20:36,520 --> 00:20:42,520
Speaker 2: too cheap. Certainly, the Chargers are too cheap to pay

329
00:20:42,560 --> 00:20:45,119
Speaker 2: Belichick what he makes, and the Raiders are still paying

330
00:20:45,160 --> 00:20:48,640
Speaker 2: Gruden and paying McDaniels. And I don't think Belichick wants

331
00:20:48,720 --> 00:20:51,480
Speaker 2: Tom Brady to be one of his bosses so because

332
00:20:51,520 --> 00:20:53,120
Speaker 2: he's a part owner or wants to be a part

333
00:20:53,119 --> 00:20:55,160
Speaker 2: owner of the Raiders. So I think we can cross

334
00:20:55,160 --> 00:20:57,480
Speaker 2: out the whole AFC before I go to the NFC.

335
00:20:57,520 --> 00:21:03,520
Speaker 2: Go ahead, demanse, go ahead. No, it looked like you

336
00:21:03,560 --> 00:21:06,160
Speaker 2: wanted to say something about something. I said, Oh.

337
00:21:06,040 --> 00:21:08,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, no, it was when you said something about the Chargers.

338
00:21:08,840 --> 00:21:11,280
Speaker 3: I was thinking about Belichick going to the Chargers, but

339
00:21:11,880 --> 00:21:12,400
Speaker 3: you said something.

340
00:21:13,119 --> 00:21:16,280
Speaker 2: I think that would be a good fit and he'd

341
00:21:16,320 --> 00:21:19,920
Speaker 2: have a quarterback, but I don't think the Spano's family's

342
00:21:19,960 --> 00:21:22,720
Speaker 2: gonna pay him. So now we go to the NFC

343
00:21:22,760 --> 00:21:26,480
Speaker 2: East Giants, Eagles, Cowboys are not changing their coaches. But

344
00:21:26,840 --> 00:21:29,960
Speaker 2: what I will tell you is galaxy brain take by

345
00:21:29,960 --> 00:21:33,360
Speaker 2: Nora Princiati that I heard this morning on The Ring

346
00:21:33,440 --> 00:21:37,679
Speaker 2: Or NFL Show. She said, what if the Cowboys have

347
00:21:37,960 --> 00:21:43,959
Speaker 2: just a devastating, mortifying playoff defeat, could Jerry Jones be like, screwed,

348
00:21:44,040 --> 00:21:49,320
Speaker 2: I'm firing McCarthy And would Belichick work there? Absolutely? He would.

349
00:21:49,560 --> 00:21:53,040
Speaker 2: The offense is already built. You could like, I don't

350
00:21:53,040 --> 00:21:56,120
Speaker 2: think McCarthy's gonna get fired. I don't think the Cowboys

351
00:21:56,160 --> 00:21:58,760
Speaker 2: are gonna have a mortifying playoff defeat. But that's Nora

352
00:21:58,840 --> 00:22:04,480
Speaker 2: Princiatti's kind of hypothetical that I thought was super intriguing.

353
00:22:04,800 --> 00:22:07,600
Speaker 2: But let's just assume they're not firing Mike McCarthy. They're

354
00:22:07,600 --> 00:22:11,840
Speaker 2: gonna win thirteen fourteen games this year. Washington is definitely

355
00:22:11,880 --> 00:22:16,120
Speaker 2: moving off Ron RIVERA. Would Bill Belichick want to go there?

356
00:22:16,520 --> 00:22:19,080
Speaker 2: Very similar spot as New England, where all of a

357
00:22:19,119 --> 00:22:21,359
Speaker 2: sudden you're in a really tough division, you don't have

358
00:22:21,400 --> 00:22:25,800
Speaker 2: a quarterback, so I'm crossing them off. The NFC North,

359
00:22:26,080 --> 00:22:29,480
Speaker 2: the only team that's going to fire their coach potentially

360
00:22:29,600 --> 00:22:33,480
Speaker 2: is the Bears. The Bears are gonna draft Caleb Williams.

361
00:22:33,920 --> 00:22:37,080
Speaker 2: You want an offensive minded head coach that compare with

362
00:22:37,119 --> 00:22:40,600
Speaker 2: Caleb Williams for the next decade, not a defensive minded

363
00:22:40,640 --> 00:22:42,800
Speaker 2: head coach who's the second oldest coach in the league.

364
00:22:43,440 --> 00:22:46,919
Speaker 2: The NFC West, I don't think any of those teams

365
00:22:46,920 --> 00:22:50,240
Speaker 2: are firing their coaches. The Cardinals just hired Jonathan Gannon.

366
00:22:50,520 --> 00:22:53,439
Speaker 2: The other three teams like their coaches, so that leaves

367
00:22:53,520 --> 00:22:58,080
Speaker 2: us the NFC South, where all four teams could be

368
00:22:58,160 --> 00:23:03,120
Speaker 2: firing their coaches. Carolina Belichick is not gonna go work

369
00:23:03,160 --> 00:23:07,920
Speaker 2: for that owner with that quarterback situation. New Orleans Belichick again,

370
00:23:07,960 --> 00:23:10,640
Speaker 2: they don't have a quarterback. And also Belichick has been

371
00:23:10,680 --> 00:23:15,680
Speaker 2: better than any GM ever essentially at making sure your

372
00:23:15,760 --> 00:23:19,280
Speaker 2: cap situation isn't screwed up. The Saints cap situation has

373
00:23:19,320 --> 00:23:22,320
Speaker 2: perpetually screwed up. Crossed them off, So now we're down

374
00:23:22,359 --> 00:23:28,640
Speaker 2: to two teams. Atlanta could be intriguing. The offensive weapons

375
00:23:28,760 --> 00:23:33,520
Speaker 2: are already there. The defense is overachieving this year. It's

376
00:23:33,560 --> 00:23:38,359
Speaker 2: a winnable division, But you don't have anyone even adjacent

377
00:23:38,400 --> 00:23:41,760
Speaker 2: to the quarterback in the building. So that then leaves

378
00:23:42,960 --> 00:23:50,560
Speaker 2: the single most fun option the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. If

379
00:23:50,560 --> 00:23:54,679
Speaker 2: you remember, when Baker was coming out of school, it

380
00:23:54,760 --> 00:24:01,080
Speaker 2: was rumored the Patriots liked him. Furthermore, they have cleaned

381
00:24:01,160 --> 00:24:05,840
Speaker 2: up their cap situation entirely. It is a winnable division.

382
00:24:06,840 --> 00:24:12,360
Speaker 2: And last, and certainly not least, what is the only

383
00:24:12,480 --> 00:24:19,520
Speaker 2: way Bill Belichick could theoretically totally even the who won

384
00:24:19,600 --> 00:24:25,199
Speaker 2: the divorce with Tom Brady if he also goes to

385
00:24:25,359 --> 00:24:31,120
Speaker 2: Tampa Bay and wins, They're gonna need a coach. They've

386
00:24:31,119 --> 00:24:35,399
Speaker 2: got players on defense. You say what you want about Baker,

387
00:24:35,760 --> 00:24:40,080
Speaker 2: he's definitely the best quarterback in the division. They have

388
00:24:40,200 --> 00:24:45,639
Speaker 2: offensive weapons. I'm not saying that's going to happen. What

389
00:24:45,720 --> 00:24:49,199
Speaker 2: I'm saying is that's the most fun option. And I

390
00:24:49,240 --> 00:24:52,879
Speaker 2: think Bill Belichick still has his fastball. Defensively, I like

391
00:24:52,960 --> 00:24:57,880
Speaker 2: the idea of it. That is, certainly from a storyline perspective,

392
00:24:57,960 --> 00:25:01,520
Speaker 2: the best you stay on the East Coast, it's quick

393
00:25:01,560 --> 00:25:05,199
Speaker 2: trip to your house in Cape Cod. Tampa Bay Buccaneers,

394
00:25:05,200 --> 00:25:07,240
Speaker 2: Bill Belichick collision course, make it happen.

395
00:25:07,280 --> 00:25:11,720
Speaker 3: That's my answer, playing your flag there, not.

396
00:25:11,600 --> 00:25:16,600
Speaker 2: Planning my flags, but surveying potential flag real estate as

397
00:25:16,640 --> 00:25:17,480
Speaker 2: a fun option.

398
00:25:17,600 --> 00:25:21,479
Speaker 3: All right, next, all right, So this NFL season has

399
00:25:21,520 --> 00:25:25,720
Speaker 3: been played by injuries, especially at the quarterback position. It's

400
00:25:25,760 --> 00:25:28,280
Speaker 3: week fifteen and more than half of the NFL's resorted

401
00:25:28,280 --> 00:25:31,800
Speaker 3: to a second string quarterback. And the NFL all the

402
00:25:31,840 --> 00:25:34,760
Speaker 3: while is saying that they're heading to Brazil. They're trying

403
00:25:34,800 --> 00:25:37,679
Speaker 3: to expand on the globe. So what's the bigger story

404
00:25:37,680 --> 00:25:39,720
Speaker 3: this season? Would it be the injuries and the lack

405
00:25:39,720 --> 00:25:43,119
Speaker 3: of good quarterback play or would it be the NFL's expansion.

406
00:25:44,680 --> 00:25:49,840
Speaker 2: Well, the NFL, you know, playing a game in Brazil.

407
00:25:50,440 --> 00:25:55,560
Speaker 2: Eight international games. They are just flying right towards my

408
00:25:55,760 --> 00:26:00,600
Speaker 2: idea that I pitched to Roger Goodell on telew in

409
00:26:00,680 --> 00:26:04,320
Speaker 2: the first week of First Things First, that he seemed

410
00:26:04,920 --> 00:26:07,760
Speaker 2: not that interested in. But now they are clearly going

411
00:26:07,800 --> 00:26:11,320
Speaker 2: to steal from me, which is my idea of NFL

412
00:26:11,480 --> 00:26:14,920
Speaker 2: International Week. I tweeted out the clip of me doing

413
00:26:14,960 --> 00:26:17,720
Speaker 2: it on Colin Coward's show back when I had a

414
00:26:17,800 --> 00:26:22,399
Speaker 2: shaved head and wore fake glasses seven years ago. But

415
00:26:22,520 --> 00:26:26,000
Speaker 2: it is a very straightforward idea every team is eight

416
00:26:26,080 --> 00:26:29,439
Speaker 2: home eight road games. We now every team has a

417
00:26:29,520 --> 00:26:33,360
Speaker 2: seventeenth game. Anyway, it is neutral site for everyone, and

418
00:26:33,400 --> 00:26:36,120
Speaker 2: you have an additional bye week, which not only pushes

419
00:26:36,160 --> 00:26:38,399
Speaker 2: the Super Bowl back a week to where the Monday

420
00:26:38,400 --> 00:26:41,439
Speaker 2: after the Super bowl's President's Day, but everyone either on

421
00:26:41,480 --> 00:26:45,080
Speaker 2: the front end or the back end of their international

422
00:26:45,119 --> 00:26:48,440
Speaker 2: game has a bye so that way you can deal

423
00:26:48,480 --> 00:26:51,520
Speaker 2: with the travel and the jet lag. And the concept

424
00:26:51,560 --> 00:26:55,359
Speaker 2: behind NFL International Week is there are two or three

425
00:26:55,440 --> 00:27:00,920
Speaker 2: games Monday through Sunday, and depending on the time zone

426
00:27:00,960 --> 00:27:05,040
Speaker 2: they're in, is when you are when you determine, you

427
00:27:05,040 --> 00:27:07,399
Speaker 2: know when the games are going to be played. But

428
00:27:07,480 --> 00:27:11,000
Speaker 2: you could have a three pm Eastern and a six

429
00:27:11,080 --> 00:27:15,760
Speaker 2: pm Eastern game every single day of the week, or

430
00:27:15,840 --> 00:27:19,080
Speaker 2: something similar. For the time zones that that doesn't work in,

431
00:27:19,480 --> 00:27:22,840
Speaker 2: you would do either the kind of later night games

432
00:27:23,240 --> 00:27:27,000
Speaker 2: or the earlier morning games on the weekends and every

433
00:27:27,080 --> 00:27:30,560
Speaker 2: and you could sell each game as a standalone national

434
00:27:30,600 --> 00:27:33,480
Speaker 2: TV window. We'd have football on seven days a week

435
00:27:33,880 --> 00:27:36,679
Speaker 2: all across the globe. It's a brilliant idea. If you

436
00:27:36,720 --> 00:27:38,560
Speaker 2: go to my Twitter you can see it more fully

437
00:27:38,600 --> 00:27:41,640
Speaker 2: fleshed out, and the NFL is going to go there eventually,

438
00:27:41,840 --> 00:27:44,040
Speaker 2: So it's not that that's a bigger story. It's just

439
00:27:44,080 --> 00:27:46,320
Speaker 2: that it was my idea and eventually it's going to

440
00:27:46,400 --> 00:27:51,959
Speaker 2: come to fruition. Now to the quarterback stuff, it is

441
00:27:52,160 --> 00:27:57,200
Speaker 2: not a coincidence that if you look at the NFL

442
00:27:57,400 --> 00:28:05,119
Speaker 2: right now, whatevery single division leader has in common is

443
00:28:05,200 --> 00:28:08,080
Speaker 2: they are among the handful of teams who have had

444
00:28:08,119 --> 00:28:13,440
Speaker 2: the same starting quarterback every game this year. The AFC East,

445
00:28:14,160 --> 00:28:17,959
Speaker 2: two teams have had different quarterbacks. Two teams have had

446
00:28:18,000 --> 00:28:21,720
Speaker 2: the same Dolphins, Bills, same quarterback every game there first

447
00:28:21,720 --> 00:28:25,520
Speaker 2: and second, Jets, Patriots quarterback issues and injuries. Go to

448
00:28:25,560 --> 00:28:30,000
Speaker 2: the AFC North. You have the team in first place Baltimore,

449
00:28:30,119 --> 00:28:34,160
Speaker 2: Lamar's been there all year, Cleveland four different quarterbacks, Pittsburgh

450
00:28:34,160 --> 00:28:38,040
Speaker 2: two different quarterbacks, Cincinnati two different quarterbacks. Go to Jacksonville,

451
00:28:38,040 --> 00:28:41,640
Speaker 2: who's in first place the Jags. Trevor has played every

452
00:28:41,640 --> 00:28:45,680
Speaker 2: single game. Indy one different quarter or two different quarterbacks.

453
00:28:45,720 --> 00:28:48,280
Speaker 2: Houston's had the same quarterback all year, but he gotten it.

454
00:28:48,360 --> 00:28:51,160
Speaker 2: The reason they're not tied for first potentially because he

455
00:28:51,200 --> 00:28:53,520
Speaker 2: got knocked out this week, got concussed and he might

456
00:28:53,560 --> 00:28:56,160
Speaker 2: miss a game. The Titans have had to change quarterbacks.

457
00:28:56,480 --> 00:28:59,680
Speaker 2: Go to the AFC West. The Chiefs the same quarterback

458
00:28:59,680 --> 00:29:02,040
Speaker 2: all year. There in first place. The Broncos the same

459
00:29:02,120 --> 00:29:05,040
Speaker 2: quarterback all year. They're in second place. The Chargers they

460
00:29:05,120 --> 00:29:08,280
Speaker 2: just lost their quarterback. The Raiders had to change their quarterback.

461
00:29:08,360 --> 00:29:11,720
Speaker 2: Go to the NFC East. Dak and Jalen have been

462
00:29:11,760 --> 00:29:15,840
Speaker 2: there every single game. The Giants lost their quarterback. Washington.

463
00:29:16,440 --> 00:29:19,160
Speaker 2: They've had the same quarterback, but he's been bad. Sam

464
00:29:19,160 --> 00:29:21,200
Speaker 2: howl is one of the only guys who I think

465
00:29:21,280 --> 00:29:23,560
Speaker 2: has played every game. And the teams in last place.

466
00:29:23,600 --> 00:29:26,840
Speaker 2: Go to Detroit. Golf's been there all year. After that,

467
00:29:27,840 --> 00:29:31,040
Speaker 2: you have the Vikings that Kirk Cousins got hurt, Green

468
00:29:31,120 --> 00:29:33,480
Speaker 2: Bay they've had Jordan Love all year, to be fair,

469
00:29:33,800 --> 00:29:37,040
Speaker 2: and then the Bears they obviously fields miss timed. Go

470
00:29:37,120 --> 00:29:40,880
Speaker 2: to Tampa. Baker in first place. He's played every game

471
00:29:40,920 --> 00:29:43,800
Speaker 2: this year. Atlanta's had to change quarterbacks. New Orleans had

472
00:29:43,800 --> 00:29:47,440
Speaker 2: to change quarterbacks. Carolina desperately wishes they could change quarterbacks,

473
00:29:47,520 --> 00:29:50,160
Speaker 2: but they can't, say draft him number one overall. Go

474
00:29:50,200 --> 00:29:54,360
Speaker 2: to the NFC West. Brock Birdy has played every game

475
00:29:54,400 --> 00:29:58,840
Speaker 2: this year. The Rams second place, Stafford miss time g

476
00:29:59,000 --> 00:30:01,239
Speaker 2: and o miss time this week. The Cardinals have had

477
00:30:01,320 --> 00:30:06,240
Speaker 2: multiple different quarterbacks, so we spend a lot of time analyzing,

478
00:30:06,360 --> 00:30:10,520
Speaker 2: breaking down, figuring out the NFL some of it is,

479
00:30:10,520 --> 00:30:13,240
Speaker 2: is your quarterback upright all year, you're gonna be okay

480
00:30:13,960 --> 00:30:17,800
Speaker 2: unless he's Bryce Young. Evidently, like if your quarterback's upright

481
00:30:17,840 --> 00:30:21,520
Speaker 2: all year, you're just going to be in the mix.

482
00:30:22,360 --> 00:30:26,800
Speaker 2: Every single first place team is among the handful of

483
00:30:26,880 --> 00:30:30,360
Speaker 2: teams that have had the same quarterback all year, and

484
00:30:30,560 --> 00:30:35,239
Speaker 2: most second place teams are in a similar boat. It's

485
00:30:35,240 --> 00:30:38,200
Speaker 2: as simple as that. And I know, and that is why,

486
00:30:38,360 --> 00:30:41,240
Speaker 2: as much as we might hate it, the NBA is

487
00:30:41,440 --> 00:30:43,440
Speaker 2: or the NFL is going to go above and beyond

488
00:30:43,480 --> 00:30:47,240
Speaker 2: to try to protect quarterbacks because it can just wreck

489
00:30:47,320 --> 00:30:50,640
Speaker 2: your entire season. If these guys have to miss time.

490
00:30:51,760 --> 00:30:55,200
Speaker 2: That's pretty shocking, isn't it. Demonse just how the standings

491
00:30:55,240 --> 00:30:59,640
Speaker 2: line up exactly with a your quarterback available.

492
00:30:59,640 --> 00:31:02,120
Speaker 3: The whole Bears might have been helped out a little

493
00:31:02,160 --> 00:31:05,080
Speaker 3: bit by Justin Fields being out for a couple of games.

494
00:31:05,720 --> 00:31:09,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, I will say up and up now correct some

495
00:31:09,800 --> 00:31:13,640
Speaker 2: of these teams, no doubt about it, like with or without.

496
00:31:13,680 --> 00:31:16,280
Speaker 2: And you know, the Patriots, Mac didn't get hurt. He

497
00:31:16,400 --> 00:31:17,080
Speaker 2: just got bench.

498
00:31:17,640 --> 00:31:21,680
Speaker 3: But you know, so there's no it was very consistent

499
00:31:21,760 --> 00:31:23,640
Speaker 3: throughout the throughout the divisions though.

500
00:31:23,640 --> 00:31:27,080
Speaker 2: Every division top to bottom. It's just quarterback health bass.

501
00:31:26,920 --> 00:31:30,880
Speaker 3: So I got oh, So one quick question. Do you

502
00:31:30,920 --> 00:31:33,680
Speaker 3: think that the UH Do you think that the travel

503
00:31:33,760 --> 00:31:35,880
Speaker 3: will make the injury problem a little bit worse?

504
00:31:37,120 --> 00:31:38,840
Speaker 2: No, I don't know why it would, And you get

505
00:31:38,880 --> 00:31:45,200
Speaker 2: the again. So what I'm proposing is that you you're

506
00:31:45,240 --> 00:31:51,280
Speaker 2: if you did my NFL in international week Monday through Sunday,

507
00:31:51,360 --> 00:32:00,520
Speaker 2: if your games are Monday through Friday, basically your extra

508
00:32:00,680 --> 00:32:05,800
Speaker 2: bye week comes the week before, so you would have

509
00:32:05,880 --> 00:32:07,520
Speaker 2: almost two you know what I mean, you would have

510
00:32:08,080 --> 00:32:11,280
Speaker 2: you wouldn't be playing the previous week, and so you

511
00:32:11,320 --> 00:32:14,440
Speaker 2: would have full time to prepare and get acclimated. And

512
00:32:14,480 --> 00:32:18,720
Speaker 2: if your game is Friday through Sunday, your extra bye

513
00:32:18,760 --> 00:32:22,120
Speaker 2: week would come after, so you you know, does that

514
00:32:22,200 --> 00:32:25,600
Speaker 2: make sense? So you would have time to wrest recuperate after,

515
00:32:26,120 --> 00:32:31,480
Speaker 2: and an extra bye week in and of itself would

516
00:32:32,080 --> 00:32:36,640
Speaker 2: naturally make UH. I think lower the injury rate. I

517
00:32:36,640 --> 00:32:40,080
Speaker 2: don't think guys are more injured in international games. Guys

518
00:32:40,120 --> 00:32:43,560
Speaker 2: are more injured in short week games. And I think

519
00:32:43,600 --> 00:32:46,440
Speaker 2: this could help eliminate that. All right, let's do Lebron

520
00:32:46,560 --> 00:32:47,800
Speaker 2: versus Wimby.

521
00:32:48,640 --> 00:32:52,120
Speaker 3: All right, so one guy disappointed last night, one guy

522
00:32:52,200 --> 00:32:55,000
Speaker 3: did not. The guy that didn't disappoint disappoint by the

523
00:32:55,080 --> 00:32:59,320
Speaker 3: name of Victor. When Banyama, he dropped thirty and fourteen,

524
00:33:00,160 --> 00:33:05,200
Speaker 3: but in the spurs eighteenth straight loss, unfortunately. But Lebron James,

525
00:33:05,200 --> 00:33:07,920
Speaker 3: on the other hand, sat out. He didn't play yesterday.

526
00:33:07,920 --> 00:33:10,320
Speaker 3: He didn't he didn't play in the game. Do you

527
00:33:10,360 --> 00:33:12,920
Speaker 3: have any I know you're probably going to say that

528
00:33:13,000 --> 00:33:15,520
Speaker 3: he just won the nd season tournament, the first ever,

529
00:33:15,680 --> 00:33:18,040
Speaker 3: he deserves a sit. But do you find do you

530
00:33:18,080 --> 00:33:20,360
Speaker 3: have any problem with Lebron said this game out with

531
00:33:20,480 --> 00:33:22,840
Speaker 3: it being Wimby a new generational talent.

532
00:33:24,120 --> 00:33:28,080
Speaker 2: No, I have the So I have two problems. I

533
00:33:28,120 --> 00:33:31,880
Speaker 2: have a problem that Lebron played on Tuesday against the

534
00:33:31,920 --> 00:33:36,400
Speaker 2: mass No, I'm dead. I'm totally serious. Guys. The guy's

535
00:33:36,400 --> 00:33:39,520
Speaker 2: played sixty eight thousand minutes. He's played more minutes than

536
00:33:39,600 --> 00:33:44,080
Speaker 2: Burden Magic's careers put together. He's played more minutes than

537
00:33:44,200 --> 00:33:50,640
Speaker 2: Michael and Giannis's careers put together. Like the My real

538
00:33:50,720 --> 00:33:54,920
Speaker 2: issue is this the NBA, I believe should have had

539
00:33:54,960 --> 00:34:01,720
Speaker 2: the foresight to have a good inclination that Lebron might

540
00:34:02,560 --> 00:34:05,840
Speaker 2: take the n Season Tournament super seriously because the NBA

541
00:34:06,040 --> 00:34:09,000
Speaker 2: wanted him to and wanted him to be the ambassador

542
00:34:09,040 --> 00:34:14,560
Speaker 2: for it, and then putting two Marquee games right after

543
00:34:14,600 --> 00:34:17,560
Speaker 2: the N Season Tournament on the Lakers schedule was idiotic

544
00:34:18,000 --> 00:34:22,239
Speaker 2: having Lebron versus Luca be a national TV game. And

545
00:34:22,320 --> 00:34:24,160
Speaker 2: I know you could be like, well, what if the

546
00:34:24,239 --> 00:34:26,879
Speaker 2: Lakers don't make the N Season Tournament finals, then great,

547
00:34:26,920 --> 00:34:29,959
Speaker 2: you can still play Lebron versus Luke on national TV

548
00:34:30,080 --> 00:34:34,160
Speaker 2: anytime all year, and Lebron versus Wimby coming right after that.

549
00:34:34,640 --> 00:34:39,719
Speaker 2: It's just poor planet, Like the if there was ever

550
00:34:39,800 --> 00:34:42,120
Speaker 2: going to be a time of the year that your

551
00:34:42,239 --> 00:34:45,040
Speaker 2: oldest player in the league who is still your biggest

552
00:34:45,160 --> 00:34:49,120
Speaker 2: draw was going to play playoff minutes, it was going

553
00:34:49,200 --> 00:34:52,239
Speaker 2: to be in the N Season Tournament, And so then

554
00:34:52,480 --> 00:34:56,360
Speaker 2: putting I said last week on TV that if the

555
00:34:56,440 --> 00:34:59,960
Speaker 2: Lakers make the N Season Tournament Final, Lebron should take

556
00:35:00,160 --> 00:35:04,200
Speaker 2: the following week off, and I totally meant it like

557
00:35:04,280 --> 00:35:07,400
Speaker 2: it is an extra game. The N Season Tournament Final

558
00:35:07,480 --> 00:35:09,840
Speaker 2: is an eighty third game of the year for the Lakers,

559
00:35:10,080 --> 00:35:13,200
Speaker 2: but Also, Lebron was going to go full playoff mode

560
00:35:13,480 --> 00:35:15,680
Speaker 2: because it's what the NBA wanted, and he is the

561
00:35:15,719 --> 00:35:19,319
Speaker 2: best ambassador of the league's ever had and it and

562
00:35:20,120 --> 00:35:24,560
Speaker 2: give it real playoff intensity. And so no, it's a

563
00:35:24,600 --> 00:35:27,879
Speaker 2: shame that he didn't play against the Spurs. But it's

564
00:35:27,920 --> 00:35:32,280
Speaker 2: also a shame that the Lakers correctly assumed we won't

565
00:35:32,360 --> 00:35:35,400
Speaker 2: we stink without Lebron, but we won't need him against

566
00:35:35,400 --> 00:35:38,480
Speaker 2: the Spurs. And now that was an eighteen point game

567
00:35:38,560 --> 00:35:41,040
Speaker 2: going into the fourth quarter. It was a twelve point

568
00:35:41,080 --> 00:35:43,880
Speaker 2: game with four minutes left. The Spurs had a furious

569
00:35:43,960 --> 00:35:46,520
Speaker 2: rally at the end and ended up making a game

570
00:35:46,560 --> 00:35:50,120
Speaker 2: out of it. Ad was excellent and overcame it and

571
00:35:50,160 --> 00:35:52,680
Speaker 2: the Lakers were able to escape with a win. But

572
00:35:52,880 --> 00:35:57,560
Speaker 2: I my bigger issue is because Wimby was excellent last

573
00:35:57,640 --> 00:36:01,279
Speaker 2: night and he's been playing really well of late. You

574
00:36:01,440 --> 00:36:05,719
Speaker 2: cannot convince me it is good for the development of

575
00:36:05,960 --> 00:36:12,000
Speaker 2: Victor Windbnyama. For this team that started three and two

576
00:36:12,120 --> 00:36:16,279
Speaker 2: to now be three and twenty that they have, for

577
00:36:16,320 --> 00:36:21,080
Speaker 2: this team to be so punting on any type of competitiveness,

578
00:36:21,920 --> 00:36:25,680
Speaker 2: it's not good for his development. Flatlet and Victor has

579
00:36:25,719 --> 00:36:27,759
Speaker 2: been better than I thought he would be on the

580
00:36:27,800 --> 00:36:30,439
Speaker 2: offensive end. I thought he'd be excellent to be coming

581
00:36:30,520 --> 00:36:32,640
Speaker 2: on the defensive end, and he's doing that. But they

582
00:36:32,680 --> 00:36:35,920
Speaker 2: don't have a point guard and for them to just

583
00:36:36,000 --> 00:36:39,640
Speaker 2: be totally uncompetitive, and also it's embarrassing for the league.

584
00:36:39,400 --> 00:36:41,560
Speaker 3: Demon sake, no point guard me.

585
00:36:43,200 --> 00:36:47,759
Speaker 2: I don't understand it, but it is embarrassing for the

586
00:36:47,840 --> 00:36:51,040
Speaker 2: league that the Spurs are on an eighteen game losing streak,

587
00:36:51,120 --> 00:36:54,319
Speaker 2: and it is not the longest active losing streak. That

588
00:36:54,440 --> 00:36:57,600
Speaker 2: the Pistons have lost twenty one in a row. And

589
00:36:58,400 --> 00:37:04,319
Speaker 2: you should not have three expansion caliber teams in a

590
00:37:04,400 --> 00:37:08,680
Speaker 2: non expansion year. But the Wizards, the Pistons, and the

591
00:37:08,719 --> 00:37:16,799
Speaker 2: Spurs demanse are a combined eight and sixty two. The Wizards,

592
00:37:16,840 --> 00:37:20,759
Speaker 2: the Pistons, and the Spurs are a combined eight and

593
00:37:20,880 --> 00:37:25,239
Speaker 2: sixty two, and then Portland, Memphis and Charlotte are not

594
00:37:25,840 --> 00:37:29,439
Speaker 2: that much better. Memphis, hopefully when John gets back, they'll

595
00:37:29,480 --> 00:37:31,799
Speaker 2: be competitive, but they're probably gonna be out of it.

596
00:37:32,320 --> 00:37:35,360
Speaker 2: Like That's the other underrated storyline of this NBA season

597
00:37:35,920 --> 00:37:39,680
Speaker 2: is Jos suspension. I think cost the Grizzlies the whole year.

598
00:37:40,280 --> 00:37:46,160
Speaker 2: They're just cooked. The Grizzlies are six and seventeen, so

599
00:37:46,280 --> 00:37:49,960
Speaker 2: John's got two games left on the suspension. Those games

600
00:37:49,960 --> 00:37:54,880
Speaker 2: are against Houston and then at OKC, So their best

601
00:37:54,960 --> 00:37:58,680
Speaker 2: case scenario is they're seven and eighteen when he comes back.

602
00:37:58,960 --> 00:38:02,120
Speaker 2: They're probably gonna be six and nineteen when he comes back,

603
00:38:02,400 --> 00:38:05,360
Speaker 2: and then his first game back is a back to

604
00:38:05,440 --> 00:38:07,600
Speaker 2: back for his teammates, not for him. He'll be as

605
00:38:07,640 --> 00:38:11,000
Speaker 2: fresh as can be in New Orleans and then they

606
00:38:11,040 --> 00:38:15,000
Speaker 2: host Indiana. It is absolutely on the board that the

607
00:38:15,040 --> 00:38:18,279
Speaker 2: Grizzlies start this season seven and twenty or six and

608
00:38:18,360 --> 00:38:22,320
Speaker 2: twenty one, and they're just dead. I mean six and seventeen.

609
00:38:22,360 --> 00:38:25,520
Speaker 2: They're probably dead. And it's just a shame, all right.

610
00:38:25,600 --> 00:38:30,040
Speaker 2: Our gambling show where I got absolutely, unequivocally screwed last week,

611
00:38:30,239 --> 00:38:33,120
Speaker 2: and we'll discuss if there should be an official record adjustment.

612
00:38:33,280 --> 00:38:36,200
Speaker 2: Demande didn't get screwed except for just trusting his gut

613
00:38:36,239 --> 00:38:38,760
Speaker 2: on his teasers that screws him every week. We'll discuss

614
00:38:38,800 --> 00:38:46,759
Speaker 2: it all next what's right, I'm considering airbnbing out your

615
00:38:46,800 --> 00:38:50,960
Speaker 2: sister's room, not your baby sister, your older sister, even

616
00:38:50,960 --> 00:38:54,839
Speaker 2: though she's here. She's back for Christmas. Uh and that's

617
00:38:54,920 --> 00:38:59,920
Speaker 2: because uh, you know, jet lag or whatever. She was

618
00:39:00,000 --> 00:39:04,040
Speaker 2: sposed to be our special guest, but she overslept. So

619
00:39:05,000 --> 00:39:06,439
Speaker 2: episode two hundred.

620
00:39:06,280 --> 00:39:11,080
Speaker 3: No scoop, no dear, that was a coin flip.

621
00:39:12,320 --> 00:39:17,879
Speaker 2: What do you mean it's eleven fifteen here? She I mean,

622
00:39:17,960 --> 00:39:22,280
Speaker 2: it's not I understand, and where you are it's early

623
00:39:22,360 --> 00:39:27,320
Speaker 2: in the morning. It's eleven fifteen here. I just text

624
00:39:27,320 --> 00:39:30,000
Speaker 2: her during the break a sad emoji and she text

625
00:39:30,080 --> 00:39:32,960
Speaker 2: me back, you should have woken me up. I was like, well,

626
00:39:32,960 --> 00:39:35,880
Speaker 2: I tried, but your phone went straight to voicemail, Like,

627
00:39:35,960 --> 00:39:38,719
Speaker 2: give me a break, all right, speaking of things, I

628
00:39:38,760 --> 00:39:43,480
Speaker 2: need a break on. I got really, really screwed last week,

629
00:39:43,960 --> 00:39:48,640
Speaker 2: so let's discuss it. Last week. The record one three

630
00:39:49,080 --> 00:39:52,279
Speaker 2: and one. So the Rams plus seven and a half

631
00:39:52,400 --> 00:39:56,200
Speaker 2: at Baltimore never a doubt. That was a winner. That

632
00:39:56,400 --> 00:39:57,919
Speaker 2: was a great And by the way, now I'm four

633
00:39:57,920 --> 00:40:01,080
Speaker 2: games under five hundred on the season. Houston minus three

634
00:40:01,120 --> 00:40:04,840
Speaker 2: and a half against the Jets. I was squeamish about

635
00:40:04,880 --> 00:40:06,920
Speaker 2: it once because we knew Tank Dell was out when

636
00:40:06,960 --> 00:40:11,760
Speaker 2: I made the bet. Once Nico Collins also went down,

637
00:40:12,160 --> 00:40:14,600
Speaker 2: I thought I might be in trouble. But when CJ.

638
00:40:14,800 --> 00:40:17,120
Speaker 2: Stroud gets knocked out of the game with a concussion.

639
00:40:17,640 --> 00:40:20,560
Speaker 2: I am just ruined, with no chance about it.

640
00:40:20,600 --> 00:40:20,759
Speaker 3: Now.

641
00:40:20,800 --> 00:40:23,520
Speaker 2: Where the Texans got to feel sick is they made

642
00:40:23,719 --> 00:40:26,560
Speaker 2: Zach Wilson look like a real quarterback. But that's a

643
00:40:26,600 --> 00:40:28,480
Speaker 2: loss that was I was on the square side of that.

644
00:40:28,600 --> 00:40:32,480
Speaker 2: I'll deal with it. The Raiders plus three against Minnesota.

645
00:40:32,760 --> 00:40:36,120
Speaker 2: There's two ways to look at this. One is I

646
00:40:36,200 --> 00:40:38,600
Speaker 2: bet on a team that scored zero points and got

647
00:40:38,600 --> 00:40:42,520
Speaker 2: a push. That is a little fortunate. The other way

648
00:40:42,520 --> 00:40:44,719
Speaker 2: to look on at it is I bet on a

649
00:40:44,760 --> 00:40:50,960
Speaker 2: team getting three points, they allowed three total points, and

650
00:40:51,040 --> 00:40:53,960
Speaker 2: I didn't get a win. And so like we have

651
00:40:54,040 --> 00:40:59,000
Speaker 2: had him back to back weeks, almost unprecedented gambling moments

652
00:40:59,160 --> 00:41:02,840
Speaker 2: because we had a Patriots Chargers game where the Chargers

653
00:41:03,200 --> 00:41:08,640
Speaker 2: were favored by five and a half, scored six and covered.

654
00:41:09,360 --> 00:41:14,439
Speaker 2: And we had Vikings Raiders game where the Vikings were

655
00:41:14,520 --> 00:41:19,000
Speaker 2: favored by three, scored three and got a push out

656
00:41:19,040 --> 00:41:21,160
Speaker 2: of it. So I don't know if I got lucky

657
00:41:21,320 --> 00:41:25,600
Speaker 2: or unlucky there. But then the last two Chiefs minus

658
00:41:25,600 --> 00:41:31,279
Speaker 2: one and a half against Buffalo, I deserved to win.

659
00:41:33,400 --> 00:41:35,759
Speaker 2: It was covering when the stadium was going crazy and

660
00:41:35,840 --> 00:41:38,720
Speaker 2: KADARISONI had scored a touchdown to go up threes, penning

661
00:41:38,760 --> 00:41:42,320
Speaker 2: four with a minute left. I'll tell you for goddamn

662
00:41:42,360 --> 00:41:47,160
Speaker 2: sure it was covering. Then, yeah, I mean, I'll tell

663
00:41:47,160 --> 00:41:53,000
Speaker 2: you it was certainly covering in that moment. He's smart ass.

664
00:41:53,640 --> 00:41:58,839
Speaker 2: But I take the loss there, And unlike watching Chiefs, unfortunately,

665
00:41:58,920 --> 00:42:02,359
Speaker 2: unlike watching Chiefs Packers at Lil Wayne's house in La

666
00:42:03,080 --> 00:42:06,560
Speaker 2: where I can't, you know, live bet the Chiefs at

667
00:42:06,560 --> 00:42:09,920
Speaker 2: every moment, I watch Chiefs Bills all alone in my

668
00:42:10,040 --> 00:42:12,520
Speaker 2: own house, and I could live bet them at any

669
00:42:12,520 --> 00:42:15,640
Speaker 2: given moment. And that didn't go great. And then there's

670
00:42:15,680 --> 00:42:22,600
Speaker 2: the one that really sticks in my craw Seattle plus

671
00:42:22,640 --> 00:42:25,799
Speaker 2: ten and a half at the Niners. Then I gave

672
00:42:25,880 --> 00:42:29,280
Speaker 2: a brilliant explanation as to why I was taking Seattle.

673
00:42:29,960 --> 00:42:32,320
Speaker 2: They were gonna be able to keep it close, adjacent,

674
00:42:32,440 --> 00:42:36,319
Speaker 2: it's a divisional game, all of these things. And then

675
00:42:37,800 --> 00:42:43,680
Speaker 2: Geno Smith gets ruled out. After my pick is locked,

676
00:42:44,360 --> 00:42:47,359
Speaker 2: I have to deal with Drew Locke at quarterback. They

677
00:42:47,400 --> 00:42:50,600
Speaker 2: still keep it close. The line moves to fourteen and

678
00:42:50,680 --> 00:42:55,440
Speaker 2: a half, they lose by thirteen, and I get a loss.

679
00:42:56,000 --> 00:42:56,720
Speaker 3: A loss.

680
00:42:58,280 --> 00:43:03,520
Speaker 2: Now, some people would say no, give yourself the closing line,

681
00:43:03,560 --> 00:43:05,480
Speaker 2: which was fourteen and a half and called to win.

682
00:43:05,640 --> 00:43:10,279
Speaker 2: I will not say that I will recover, despite the

683
00:43:10,320 --> 00:43:14,640
Speaker 2: wild unfairness of it. In my heart all no that

684
00:43:14,760 --> 00:43:19,000
Speaker 2: in a more just world, the Raiders cover the plus

685
00:43:19,040 --> 00:43:23,120
Speaker 2: three outright, since they only allowed three points. I get

686
00:43:23,160 --> 00:43:27,920
Speaker 2: the Seahawks plus the closing line, and the Chiefs don't

687
00:43:28,000 --> 00:43:32,200
Speaker 2: have uh, you know, the NFL equivalent of being thrown

688
00:43:32,200 --> 00:43:34,520
Speaker 2: in jail for going thirty six and a thirty five

689
00:43:34,880 --> 00:43:37,560
Speaker 2: and I have a four and one week and instead

690
00:43:37,560 --> 00:43:40,640
Speaker 2: of being thirty two thirty six and one, I am

691
00:43:41,239 --> 00:43:45,280
Speaker 2: thirty five. I'm sorry. Instead of being thirty two, thirty

692
00:43:45,320 --> 00:43:49,279
Speaker 2: six and two, I am thirty five, thirty four and

693
00:43:49,400 --> 00:43:52,600
Speaker 2: one and back over five hundred. But I'll take the lawsuits.

694
00:43:53,280 --> 00:43:54,280
Speaker 3: Let's get to this seat.

695
00:43:55,040 --> 00:43:58,680
Speaker 2: But oh shut up, So let's get the Let's get

696
00:43:58,680 --> 00:43:59,280
Speaker 2: to the tweets.

697
00:44:00,960 --> 00:44:03,920
Speaker 3: You've got Tampa Bay plus three and a half at

698
00:44:03,960 --> 00:44:04,480
Speaker 3: Green Bay.

699
00:44:06,239 --> 00:44:09,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, I just this one's very very simple. I think

700
00:44:09,760 --> 00:44:13,160
Speaker 2: Tampa Bay can win this game, outright. I certainly don't

701
00:44:13,160 --> 00:44:15,879
Speaker 2: think the Packers are blowing them out. The Bucks play

702
00:44:16,000 --> 00:44:18,680
Speaker 2: close games. I like al Baker's playing. He has been

703
00:44:18,760 --> 00:44:23,120
Speaker 2: incredibly clutched lately this season really, with these late game drives,

704
00:44:23,160 --> 00:44:27,200
Speaker 2: whether they're for backdoor covers or for wins. And Green

705
00:44:27,320 --> 00:44:31,279
Speaker 2: Bay is on a shorter week because of the Monday night,

706
00:44:31,640 --> 00:44:34,719
Speaker 2: and to me, it's very concerning losing the game they

707
00:44:34,719 --> 00:44:38,560
Speaker 2: did against the New York Giants for all those reasons.

708
00:44:38,640 --> 00:44:41,280
Speaker 2: The Bucks plus three this is to be a twenty

709
00:44:41,320 --> 00:44:45,319
Speaker 2: to seventeen game in either direction, and I'm getting a

710
00:44:45,400 --> 00:44:47,440
Speaker 2: full not only a full three, a full three and

711
00:44:47,480 --> 00:44:49,439
Speaker 2: a half. I'll take the Bucks plus three and a half.

712
00:44:49,520 --> 00:44:53,840
Speaker 3: Next next, you got the Giants plus six at New Orleans.

713
00:44:55,160 --> 00:44:59,239
Speaker 2: Yeah, Dennis Allen Derek Carr combo should not be six

714
00:44:59,280 --> 00:45:03,280
Speaker 2: point favorites anyone except for maybe Carolina. And I know, listen,

715
00:45:03,360 --> 00:45:06,960
Speaker 2: I'm not buying in to the Giants hype, but Dable

716
00:45:07,120 --> 00:45:11,120
Speaker 2: versus Dennis Allen is a massive coaching mismatch. The Giants'

717
00:45:11,120 --> 00:45:13,960
Speaker 2: biggest weakness is the quarterback spot, but at least his

718
00:45:14,040 --> 00:45:17,560
Speaker 2: teammates like him, while the Saints seem to be rebelling

719
00:45:17,600 --> 00:45:22,200
Speaker 2: against Derek Carr and I'm getting six points, Like, why

720
00:45:22,960 --> 00:45:26,560
Speaker 2: would I think the Saints are gonna beat anyone? Buy

721
00:45:26,640 --> 00:45:30,160
Speaker 2: a touchdown? Dennis Allen at home against the spread is

722
00:45:30,320 --> 00:45:34,719
Speaker 2: historically bad, and I just I flatly don't buy the

723
00:45:34,840 --> 00:45:39,480
Speaker 2: idea that this Saints team is going to take care

724
00:45:39,520 --> 00:45:42,960
Speaker 2: of business in a way where they win by multiple scores.

725
00:45:43,320 --> 00:45:45,919
Speaker 2: The Giants, on the other hand, Dable's gonna have them

726
00:45:45,960 --> 00:45:49,560
Speaker 2: convinced we win this game, we could make the playoffs.

727
00:45:49,600 --> 00:45:52,880
Speaker 2: Now they can't and they won't, but that's gonna be

728
00:45:52,920 --> 00:45:55,600
Speaker 2: their mind frame going into the game. New Orleans does

729
00:45:55,640 --> 00:45:58,600
Speaker 2: not deserved to be a six point favorite over anyone

730
00:45:58,640 --> 00:46:01,400
Speaker 2: in the league except for Carol. So I'll take the

731
00:46:01,480 --> 00:46:06,080
Speaker 2: six points and think the Giants might be able to

732
00:46:06,120 --> 00:46:06,759
Speaker 2: win out right.

733
00:46:06,840 --> 00:46:10,839
Speaker 3: Next Vegas should mess up, all right, Miami minus eight

734
00:46:10,840 --> 00:46:13,440
Speaker 3: and a half versus the Giant the Jets.

735
00:46:13,480 --> 00:46:17,480
Speaker 2: Sorry, all right, we just saw this game played. I

736
00:46:17,560 --> 00:46:20,279
Speaker 2: understand it was against Tim Boyle, but we just saw

737
00:46:20,400 --> 00:46:23,880
Speaker 2: on Black Friday Miami run rough shot over the Jets

738
00:46:24,239 --> 00:46:28,360
Speaker 2: in New York. Now I'm laying less than ten points

739
00:46:28,400 --> 00:46:33,760
Speaker 2: for a Dolphins team that unequivocally must win this game.

740
00:46:34,520 --> 00:46:40,200
Speaker 2: The Dolphins after this game, they have Cowboys, Ravens Bills

741
00:46:40,520 --> 00:46:43,480
Speaker 2: to end the season. If the Dolphins want to have

742
00:46:43,600 --> 00:46:47,040
Speaker 2: any breathing room, if they want to make sure that

743
00:46:47,040 --> 00:46:50,080
Speaker 2: that Week eighteen game against a Buffalo team that already

744
00:46:50,080 --> 00:46:56,239
Speaker 2: crushed them is not potentially for the division. Then they

745
00:46:56,680 --> 00:47:01,919
Speaker 2: absolutely need to win this game. Also in Miami, when

746
00:47:02,040 --> 00:47:05,080
Speaker 2: they win, I don't want to say they always blow

747
00:47:05,160 --> 00:47:08,120
Speaker 2: people out, because week one of the season they were

748
00:47:08,440 --> 00:47:11,480
Speaker 2: they didn't. They beat the Chargers by two, and they

749
00:47:11,520 --> 00:47:14,719
Speaker 2: beat the Patriots just by seven. But since then, they

750
00:47:14,760 --> 00:47:18,160
Speaker 2: beat the Broncos by fifty, they beat the Giants by fifteen,

751
00:47:18,480 --> 00:47:20,960
Speaker 2: they beat the Panthers by twenty one, they beat the

752
00:47:20,960 --> 00:47:24,279
Speaker 2: Patriots by fourteen, they beat the Jets by twenty one,

753
00:47:24,520 --> 00:47:27,479
Speaker 2: they beat the Commanders by thirty. That yes, they only

754
00:47:27,520 --> 00:47:30,200
Speaker 2: beat the Raiders by seven in what was kind of

755
00:47:30,200 --> 00:47:32,360
Speaker 2: a sloppy game for them, but that was also a

756
00:47:32,360 --> 00:47:34,759
Speaker 2: game they were up seven going into the fourth and

757
00:47:34,800 --> 00:47:37,919
Speaker 2: then nobody scored a point. They kind of stalled out there.

758
00:47:38,320 --> 00:47:41,560
Speaker 2: I just think this is a and I know that

759
00:47:41,680 --> 00:47:44,919
Speaker 2: the Jets defense has played well, but I don't think

760
00:47:44,960 --> 00:47:47,480
Speaker 2: I think Tyreek's gonna play and be fine. I know

761
00:47:47,560 --> 00:47:50,080
Speaker 2: he's listed as day to day. This is a bounce

762
00:47:50,160 --> 00:47:53,800
Speaker 2: back spot for Miami that really gave a game away

763
00:47:54,200 --> 00:47:57,520
Speaker 2: against the Titans. This feels to me like a twenty

764
00:47:57,600 --> 00:48:01,160
Speaker 2: seven to ten thirty one to ten type of game. Also,

765
00:48:01,680 --> 00:48:04,319
Speaker 2: the next time Zach Wilson plays two good games in

766
00:48:04,360 --> 00:48:06,479
Speaker 2: a row will be the first time since his last

767
00:48:06,520 --> 00:48:11,240
Speaker 2: season at BYU. This is a Miami blowout spot and

768
00:48:11,480 --> 00:48:13,839
Speaker 2: I'm only laying eight and a half. What was I'm

769
00:48:13,840 --> 00:48:17,320
Speaker 2: gonna check real quick. What was the Dolphins Jets line

770
00:48:17,920 --> 00:48:21,400
Speaker 2: the first time they played when they played in New York?

771
00:48:21,800 --> 00:48:25,440
Speaker 2: Hold on, I think I can say right here that

772
00:48:25,960 --> 00:48:28,560
Speaker 2: you're are you making that up or you know it?

773
00:48:29,560 --> 00:48:30,840
Speaker 3: No, I was making it up, But I think it

774
00:48:30,880 --> 00:48:31,560
Speaker 3: was seven and a half.

775
00:48:31,640 --> 00:48:35,000
Speaker 2: Okay, nine and a half. Maybe it opened at seven

776
00:48:35,000 --> 00:48:36,359
Speaker 2: and a half and moved to nine and a half,

777
00:48:36,440 --> 00:48:38,680
Speaker 2: who knows, Like maybe that was with the Tim Boyle News.

778
00:48:38,680 --> 00:48:42,200
Speaker 2: I'm not sure, but it was. Miami was only one

779
00:48:42,320 --> 00:48:47,160
Speaker 2: point bigger fate this I don't understand. Miami was a

780
00:48:47,280 --> 00:48:50,759
Speaker 2: nine and a half point favorite in New York. They

781
00:48:50,800 --> 00:48:53,560
Speaker 2: are now an eight and a half point favorite in Miami.

782
00:48:54,080 --> 00:48:57,520
Speaker 2: We think that much more highly of the Jets because

783
00:48:58,000 --> 00:49:01,680
Speaker 2: they played one good offensive game against the Texans, and

784
00:49:01,719 --> 00:49:04,760
Speaker 2: we think that much more lowly of the Dolphins because

785
00:49:04,760 --> 00:49:07,360
Speaker 2: they played a bad game against the Titans. That line

786
00:49:07,400 --> 00:49:08,879
Speaker 2: is way off to me. All right.

787
00:49:09,000 --> 00:49:13,200
Speaker 3: Next next you've got Dallas plus one and a half

788
00:49:13,320 --> 00:49:15,160
Speaker 3: at Buffalo.

789
00:49:15,320 --> 00:49:18,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, Dallas is a great team and Buffalo just occasionally

790
00:49:18,080 --> 00:49:21,239
Speaker 2: looks like one. Like here's the thing, what is the

791
00:49:21,320 --> 00:49:24,200
Speaker 2: last time the Bills played a great four quarters? I

792
00:49:24,239 --> 00:49:27,719
Speaker 2: can tell you Week four against Miami. Now you can

793
00:49:27,760 --> 00:49:30,400
Speaker 2: say this is an indictment on the Chiefs. The Bills

794
00:49:30,400 --> 00:49:32,719
Speaker 2: didn't play that well in that game, the cheap they

795
00:49:32,800 --> 00:49:35,040
Speaker 2: won anyway, and that you can say again that can

796
00:49:35,080 --> 00:49:38,120
Speaker 2: be a testament about the trouble the Chiefs might not

797
00:49:38,160 --> 00:49:41,400
Speaker 2: be might be in. But the Bills played awesome for

798
00:49:41,480 --> 00:49:43,840
Speaker 2: the first quarter and a half and then hung on

799
00:49:43,960 --> 00:49:47,600
Speaker 2: for dear life, butchered the clock at the end and

800
00:49:47,760 --> 00:49:50,279
Speaker 2: gave up what would have been an all time embarrassing

801
00:49:50,320 --> 00:49:52,400
Speaker 2: way to lose if not for the ref stepping in

802
00:49:52,480 --> 00:49:55,480
Speaker 2: the way of it. Dallas, on the other hand, is rolling,

803
00:49:55,960 --> 00:50:00,600
Speaker 2: and Dallas right now, in a weird way, needs the

804
00:50:00,640 --> 00:50:04,960
Speaker 2: game as much as Buffalo, because Dallas knows their only

805
00:50:05,239 --> 00:50:09,400
Speaker 2: hope of hosting any playoff games, of winning the Division,

806
00:50:09,719 --> 00:50:13,120
Speaker 2: of maybe being the one seed, is running the table,

807
00:50:13,480 --> 00:50:17,600
Speaker 2: and then they need Philly to trip up. At one

808
00:50:17,640 --> 00:50:21,120
Speaker 2: point along the way. So I'm getting points for the

809
00:50:21,160 --> 00:50:24,240
Speaker 2: better team with the quarterback playing at an MVP level

810
00:50:24,520 --> 00:50:28,640
Speaker 2: that is rolling against a Bills team that again, I

811
00:50:28,680 --> 00:50:32,160
Speaker 2: know everyone right now is all of a sudden all

812
00:50:32,280 --> 00:50:35,760
Speaker 2: over the Bills, but they the fact of the matter

813
00:50:35,880 --> 00:50:39,640
Speaker 2: is this that they didn't play well in the second

814
00:50:39,680 --> 00:50:42,360
Speaker 2: half against the Chiefs the week before, and that was

815
00:50:42,360 --> 00:50:44,839
Speaker 2: coming off a bye, with the Chiefs injured, all of

816
00:50:44,840 --> 00:50:47,720
Speaker 2: those things going in their favor. What's up to months.

817
00:50:47,840 --> 00:50:51,239
Speaker 3: I'm just now realizing that this whole time, Buffalo is

818
00:50:51,280 --> 00:50:56,440
Speaker 3: favorite in this game. That's really nicey. Yes, I was

819
00:50:56,480 --> 00:50:58,439
Speaker 3: just looking at that as minus one and a half

820
00:50:58,480 --> 00:51:01,120
Speaker 3: the entire time. But yeah, I think Vegas got this

821
00:51:01,160 --> 00:51:01,640
Speaker 3: one wrong.

822
00:51:01,800 --> 00:51:05,640
Speaker 2: Like, well, here's the thing. Vegas and the betting public

823
00:51:05,719 --> 00:51:09,239
Speaker 2: loved the Bills. They have for years. Man, Vegas and

824
00:51:09,280 --> 00:51:12,640
Speaker 2: the betting public loved the Bills. I just think they're wrong.

825
00:51:12,719 --> 00:51:15,560
Speaker 2: But the Bills played you know what, that's not fair.

826
00:51:15,600 --> 00:51:18,080
Speaker 2: The Bills played a really good game against Tim Boyle

827
00:51:18,120 --> 00:51:21,400
Speaker 2: and the Jets a few weeks ago. But since that

828
00:51:21,600 --> 00:51:24,759
Speaker 2: Dolphins game in Week four when the Bills got three

829
00:51:24,800 --> 00:51:28,000
Speaker 2: to one, here's what they've done. Lost to the Jags

830
00:51:28,000 --> 00:51:32,279
Speaker 2: in London. Escaped against the Giants. Remember that game where

831
00:51:32,320 --> 00:51:34,239
Speaker 2: the Giants got the ball down to the five yard

832
00:51:34,320 --> 00:51:36,560
Speaker 2: line at the end and then they didn't call the

833
00:51:36,800 --> 00:51:42,360
Speaker 2: DPI or whatever. Lost to the Patriots. Escaped against the Bucks.

834
00:51:42,640 --> 00:51:45,360
Speaker 2: That's the game the Bills had sewn up. The Baker

835
00:51:45,440 --> 00:51:47,600
Speaker 2: made a late comeback and then he threw the Hail

836
00:51:47,640 --> 00:51:51,040
Speaker 2: Mary that Godwin didn't turn around on. Lost to the Bengals,

837
00:51:51,320 --> 00:51:54,520
Speaker 2: had a mortifying loss to the Broncos. Played great against

838
00:51:54,520 --> 00:51:56,799
Speaker 2: the Jets to their credit, found a way to lose

839
00:51:56,840 --> 00:52:00,920
Speaker 2: against the Eagles, and then escaped against the Chiefs. Stat

840
00:52:02,320 --> 00:52:06,359
Speaker 2: in the entire McDermott Josh Allen era, as long as

841
00:52:06,360 --> 00:52:09,200
Speaker 2: we acknowledge the Chiefs and the Cowboys are both gonna

842
00:52:09,239 --> 00:52:12,880
Speaker 2: go to the playoffs, this stat applies. The Buffalo Bills

843
00:52:13,080 --> 00:52:21,839
Speaker 2: have never won games in consecutive weeks against playoff teams. Never. Now,

844
00:52:21,880 --> 00:52:24,000
Speaker 2: some of that is you don't always play playoff teams,

845
00:52:24,040 --> 00:52:25,680
Speaker 2: and back to back weeks, you haven't had like, you know,

846
00:52:25,760 --> 00:52:29,160
Speaker 2: thirty opportunities, but it's never happened. I'll take the Cowboys

847
00:52:29,160 --> 00:52:30,760
Speaker 2: to win outright, and last one.

848
00:52:31,760 --> 00:52:35,279
Speaker 3: You got Jacksonville plus three and a half versus Baltimore.

849
00:52:37,080 --> 00:52:40,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean the Jags are at home and I'm

850
00:52:40,440 --> 00:52:42,399
Speaker 2: getting three and a half, and they need the game,

851
00:52:43,360 --> 00:52:45,880
Speaker 2: and Trevor will be healthier than he was last week.

852
00:52:46,840 --> 00:52:50,759
Speaker 2: And Baltimore, even if they're dominating the game, Baltimore will

853
00:52:50,840 --> 00:52:55,080
Speaker 2: let people back into games. Now. Lamar played awesome against

854
00:52:55,120 --> 00:52:58,200
Speaker 2: the Rams. Awesome against the Rams. I give him credit.

855
00:52:58,239 --> 00:53:00,960
Speaker 2: The defense didn't, but he did. But I am getting

856
00:53:01,640 --> 00:53:04,440
Speaker 2: I think I think Baltimore is a little bit better

857
00:53:04,480 --> 00:53:07,240
Speaker 2: than Jacksonville. I do think they are the better team,

858
00:53:07,560 --> 00:53:11,239
Speaker 2: but they're on the road and they're laying three and

859
00:53:11,280 --> 00:53:14,960
Speaker 2: a half. The Jags gotta have the game. The Ravens

860
00:53:15,000 --> 00:53:19,200
Speaker 2: do have a game to play with in the thanks

861
00:53:19,239 --> 00:53:22,360
Speaker 2: to what's happened to Miami and Kansas City. I like

862
00:53:22,480 --> 00:53:25,400
Speaker 2: Jacksonville on the spot. I think Jacksonville can win the

863
00:53:25,440 --> 00:53:28,160
Speaker 2: game outright if they are If I'm wrong on that

864
00:53:28,239 --> 00:53:30,640
Speaker 2: and the Ravens are up big late, the Ravens like

865
00:53:30,680 --> 00:53:33,400
Speaker 2: to let teams back into it. I'm getting three and

866
00:53:33,440 --> 00:53:36,080
Speaker 2: a half. I'll take the Jags plus three and a half.

867
00:53:36,200 --> 00:53:39,239
Speaker 2: Think Trevor will be a little bit healthier, and it's December,

868
00:53:39,560 --> 00:53:42,440
Speaker 2: so I imagine we'll get the news report around, you know,

869
00:53:43,040 --> 00:53:45,440
Speaker 2: like we did around this time last week, that Lamar

870
00:53:45,640 --> 00:53:48,480
Speaker 2: has the flu again, and so he might not you know,

871
00:53:48,520 --> 00:53:50,279
Speaker 2: he might have to miss a day of practice because

872
00:53:50,280 --> 00:53:53,440
Speaker 2: he gets his you know, annual cold, because Lamar's immune

873
00:53:53,480 --> 00:53:55,919
Speaker 2: system is the worst of any pro athlete I've ever

874
00:53:55,920 --> 00:53:59,200
Speaker 2: seen in my life. So there's my picks for the week.

875
00:54:00,560 --> 00:54:02,920
Speaker 2: Look it up, Demanda. This dude gets sick more than

876
00:54:02,920 --> 00:54:05,279
Speaker 2: anyone I've ever seen in my life. Tampa plus three

877
00:54:05,320 --> 00:54:07,680
Speaker 2: and a half, Giants plus six, Miami minus eight and

878
00:54:07,719 --> 00:54:10,120
Speaker 2: a half, Dallas plus one and a half, Jacksonville plus

879
00:54:10,120 --> 00:54:12,200
Speaker 2: three and a half, taking four dogs and one favorite

880
00:54:12,200 --> 00:54:15,080
Speaker 2: that I expect to absolutely roll. We don't. I don't

881
00:54:15,080 --> 00:54:17,399
Speaker 2: even know that. We have to recap your teaser from

882
00:54:17,480 --> 00:54:21,200
Speaker 2: last week. It was bad in every way imaginable. You

883
00:54:21,360 --> 00:54:23,680
Speaker 2: tease across the zero I told you not to. You

884
00:54:23,800 --> 00:54:27,160
Speaker 2: lost on it. You tease the Niners minus four. I guess,

885
00:54:27,239 --> 00:54:31,200
Speaker 2: good job, and dat and Philly. After ruining you in

886
00:54:31,239 --> 00:54:34,840
Speaker 2: a teaser the exact same format the previous week, ruined

887
00:54:34,880 --> 00:54:37,200
Speaker 2: you in a teaser that format the in the exact

888
00:54:37,239 --> 00:54:39,279
Speaker 2: same way the next week. So what are we doing

889
00:54:39,320 --> 00:54:39,759
Speaker 2: this week?

890
00:54:41,080 --> 00:54:44,000
Speaker 3: All right? So this is the two hundredth episode, obviously,

891
00:54:45,000 --> 00:54:47,880
Speaker 3: So for the two hundredth episode, we are going to

892
00:54:47,920 --> 00:54:51,279
Speaker 3: bring an in to probably the saddest segment in our

893
00:54:51,320 --> 00:54:52,240
Speaker 3: podcast history.

894
00:54:52,320 --> 00:54:52,920
Speaker 2: You're quitting.

895
00:54:54,560 --> 00:54:57,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, so this is this is the death to my teasers.

896
00:54:58,360 --> 00:54:59,560
Speaker 3: I know we thought this is going to be a

897
00:54:59,560 --> 00:55:02,600
Speaker 3: celebrat for the two hundredth episode, but this is probably

898
00:55:02,640 --> 00:55:06,160
Speaker 3: more like a eulogy. Uh yeah, I mean two hundred

899
00:55:06,200 --> 00:55:09,600
Speaker 3: has also never been important in sports. I'm gonna read

900
00:55:09,640 --> 00:55:11,799
Speaker 3: you off a couple of stats. I'm actually not gonna

901
00:55:11,840 --> 00:55:15,439
Speaker 3: read you off a couple of stats, abandoning that. But yeah, dude,

902
00:55:16,040 --> 00:55:19,080
Speaker 3: so that that's the end of the teaser. We're done

903
00:55:19,120 --> 00:55:25,400
Speaker 3: with that. Yeah, I mean, I just I can't. I

904
00:55:25,440 --> 00:55:28,080
Speaker 3: mean I can't. I can't continue to do this to myself.

905
00:55:28,400 --> 00:55:33,239
Speaker 3: I think that I need to. Uh, I don't want to.

906
00:55:34,719 --> 00:55:36,280
Speaker 2: I mean, I really Detroit.

907
00:55:38,880 --> 00:55:41,080
Speaker 3: I came into this season thinking that it was gonna

908
00:55:41,080 --> 00:55:44,880
Speaker 3: be light because I placed maybe like three teasers at

909
00:55:44,880 --> 00:55:47,040
Speaker 3: the end of the football season last year. I'm not

910
00:55:47,040 --> 00:55:49,799
Speaker 3: gonna lie. One of them hit the three, but the

911
00:55:49,880 --> 00:55:51,839
Speaker 3: other two I missed a leg, like one leg.

912
00:55:52,120 --> 00:55:55,279
Speaker 2: Like that's the funniest I gotta tell you. That's the

913
00:55:55,320 --> 00:55:59,319
Speaker 2: funniest part of Demons's confidence coming into the year on

914
00:55:59,400 --> 00:56:02,680
Speaker 2: the teasers. It was totally unearned. It's not like he

915
00:56:02,760 --> 00:56:05,080
Speaker 2: had this crazy hot streak he bet I know, I

916
00:56:05,200 --> 00:56:09,480
Speaker 2: remember this. He bet three. He only won one, and

917
00:56:09,560 --> 00:56:12,759
Speaker 2: he was like, I've got the teaser thing down, Like,

918
00:56:12,920 --> 00:56:16,239
Speaker 2: don't you worry about me. I'm like, okay, buddy, Like

919
00:56:16,400 --> 00:56:20,399
Speaker 2: if you say so, I didn't. I didn't quite get it,

920
00:56:20,880 --> 00:56:22,239
Speaker 2: but I listen the.

921
00:56:22,239 --> 00:56:24,080
Speaker 3: Reason of the playoffs. I feel like I should get

922
00:56:24,120 --> 00:56:27,400
Speaker 3: more like more of a vaguer like juice for like

923
00:56:27,520 --> 00:56:28,440
Speaker 3: hitting a teaser. No.

924
00:56:28,680 --> 00:56:31,640
Speaker 2: And but that's fair. And by the way, it's a

925
00:56:31,719 --> 00:56:36,560
Speaker 2: shame because there is a you know what, I'm gonna

926
00:56:36,600 --> 00:56:42,000
Speaker 2: take over. I'm taking over for you three team six

927
00:56:43,480 --> 00:56:47,040
Speaker 2: right now, right now, three team six point teaser the

928
00:56:47,160 --> 00:56:49,879
Speaker 2: Chiefs from minus eight and a half to minus two

929
00:56:49,880 --> 00:56:53,160
Speaker 2: and a half in New England, the Cowboys from plus

930
00:56:53,200 --> 00:56:55,399
Speaker 2: one and a half to plus seven and a half

931
00:56:55,480 --> 00:56:58,719
Speaker 2: against the Bills, and the Dolphins from minus eight and

932
00:56:58,760 --> 00:57:00,680
Speaker 2: a half to minus two and a half half against

933
00:57:00,680 --> 00:57:05,280
Speaker 2: the Jets. Those follow every teaser rule demands, they cross

934
00:57:05,360 --> 00:57:09,120
Speaker 2: every key number. We get massive value on all accounts.

935
00:57:09,400 --> 00:57:12,719
Speaker 2: That teaser locked in you know what, I'll place it

936
00:57:12,760 --> 00:57:17,280
Speaker 2: on your behalf as a Christmas present, the the I'll play.

937
00:57:17,400 --> 00:57:19,920
Speaker 2: I'll take something that I was gonna get you for Christmas.

938
00:57:20,080 --> 00:57:22,440
Speaker 2: I'm taking that money aside. I'm a place that this

939
00:57:22,560 --> 00:57:26,320
Speaker 2: teaser on your behalf instead. Happy Chris, Merry Christmas, buddy.

940
00:57:26,680 --> 00:57:30,720
Speaker 3: I appreciate it, Pops. I've I've got a teaser like

941
00:57:32,040 --> 00:57:33,040
Speaker 3: logged in my phone.

942
00:57:33,240 --> 00:57:33,600
Speaker 2: Just quit.

943
00:57:34,480 --> 00:57:36,480
Speaker 3: Yeah I did, just quit, But like it's gonna be.

944
00:57:36,600 --> 00:57:39,400
Speaker 3: It's gonna be that imaginary teaser versus your teaser. And

945
00:57:39,400 --> 00:57:42,320
Speaker 3: it's not so imaginary, it's it's already placed. So we

946
00:57:42,360 --> 00:57:43,680
Speaker 3: can we can go ahead to head on.

947
00:57:43,640 --> 00:57:45,240
Speaker 2: The Okay, all right, what's.

948
00:57:46,880 --> 00:57:49,880
Speaker 3: All right? So it's time for the offer, the week

949
00:57:49,920 --> 00:57:54,600
Speaker 3: fifteen offer. You know, Kansas City obviously doesn't cover big spreads,

950
00:57:54,920 --> 00:57:57,600
Speaker 3: but it's impossible for them to lose to the Patriots,

951
00:57:57,680 --> 00:58:01,120
Speaker 3: or you would think Chiefs one Chiefs to win by

952
00:58:01,200 --> 00:58:04,560
Speaker 3: one by one and six points or one through six

953
00:58:04,560 --> 00:58:07,880
Speaker 3: points is plus three twenty. Do you accept that offer?

954
00:58:09,080 --> 00:58:12,280
Speaker 2: No, I don't accept the offer. I think the Chiefs

955
00:58:12,320 --> 00:58:15,480
Speaker 2: absolutely could blow out the Patriots. Also, this reminds me

956
00:58:15,640 --> 00:58:18,440
Speaker 2: that that ridiculous call in Chiefs Bills cost me the

957
00:58:18,440 --> 00:58:21,320
Speaker 2: offer from last week of plus five fifty. Who was

958
00:58:21,360 --> 00:58:25,400
Speaker 2: the Chiefs to beat the Bills and it was in

959
00:58:25,400 --> 00:58:28,600
Speaker 2: the tournament? God dog it. That makes it even more frustrating.

960
00:58:28,680 --> 00:58:31,200
Speaker 2: Quick break right back? What we answer your questions in

961
00:58:31,200 --> 00:58:39,880
Speaker 2: the chat? What's right? All right? Demanse Uh, Let's go

962
00:58:39,920 --> 00:58:41,840
Speaker 2: ahead and get to some of these chat questions before

963
00:58:41,840 --> 00:58:42,400
Speaker 2: I gotta go.

964
00:58:43,040 --> 00:58:45,240
Speaker 3: All right, So I've got a question before the chat.

965
00:58:45,880 --> 00:58:49,280
Speaker 3: Do you have a favorite moment from the last one

966
00:58:49,400 --> 00:58:55,040
Speaker 3: hundred episodes of the pod? There's too many favorite moments

967
00:58:55,080 --> 00:58:55,640
Speaker 3: to think of.

968
00:58:57,440 --> 00:59:00,560
Speaker 2: From the last one hundred episodes of the pod. I

969
00:59:00,560 --> 00:59:05,720
Speaker 2: don't have a singular one, but I really enjoy the

970
00:59:06,160 --> 00:59:13,160
Speaker 2: times when, like I go on random rant and it

971
00:59:13,280 --> 00:59:17,520
Speaker 2: is like you are really into it, Like when I'm

972
00:59:17,560 --> 00:59:20,840
Speaker 2: making you authentically laugh and you don't know what I'm

973
00:59:20,840 --> 00:59:23,760
Speaker 2: gonna say. Those are my favorite moments, like because I

974
00:59:23,760 --> 00:59:26,360
Speaker 2: can see it and it kind of like encourages me.

975
00:59:26,440 --> 00:59:28,000
Speaker 2: So those are my favorite moments, all right.

976
00:59:28,080 --> 00:59:32,120
Speaker 3: Next a note on that. It's really funny that I

977
00:59:32,200 --> 00:59:35,480
Speaker 3: see some tweets or replies to pie clips and people

978
00:59:35,480 --> 00:59:39,280
Speaker 3: are like, oh, Demands's trying to haha himself into a raise.

979
00:59:39,360 --> 00:59:42,200
Speaker 3: And stuff and like, oh, he's just he's laughing too

980
00:59:42,240 --> 00:59:45,640
Speaker 3: hard and it's dis genuine. I promise, dude. I think

981
00:59:45,800 --> 00:59:49,000
Speaker 3: I think you can actually see when it's probably a

982
00:59:49,040 --> 00:59:51,560
Speaker 3: flaw of mine. But when I'm not amused, I feel

983
00:59:51,600 --> 00:59:54,160
Speaker 3: like it's very obvious. So when I am laughing, it's

984
00:59:54,280 --> 00:59:55,960
Speaker 3: it is genuine. I promise.

985
00:59:56,520 --> 00:59:59,960
Speaker 2: Also, also, demand's been due a raise for this part

986
01:00:00,480 --> 01:00:03,360
Speaker 2: for the entire time the podcast has existed. It's right

987
01:00:03,400 --> 01:00:05,560
Speaker 2: around the corner, I promised Chappelle.

988
01:00:05,600 --> 01:00:10,720
Speaker 3: All right, Next, Nikoach Dragina said a question for today.

989
01:00:11,080 --> 01:00:14,760
Speaker 3: The season ends today. The season ends today, what moves

990
01:00:14,800 --> 01:00:17,240
Speaker 3: would you want Kansas City to make for the postseason?

991
01:00:18,400 --> 01:00:24,680
Speaker 2: All right? So, uh, I that's impossible to answer because

992
01:00:24,720 --> 01:00:26,360
Speaker 2: I still think the Chiefs are gonna play in the

993
01:00:26,400 --> 01:00:30,480
Speaker 2: super Bowl now if I'm wrong, need to be some

994
01:00:30,600 --> 01:00:33,720
Speaker 2: significant moves on the offensive side of the ball. They

995
01:00:33,880 --> 01:00:38,520
Speaker 2: also Lugerious Sneed and Chris Jones are pending free agents,

996
01:00:38,560 --> 01:00:41,880
Speaker 2: and that's gonna be tough. But I'm I'm not doing

997
01:00:42,040 --> 01:00:47,040
Speaker 2: a lot of season to go, guys. There's four weeks left.

998
01:00:47,120 --> 01:00:48,920
Speaker 2: That used to be twenty five percent of the year

999
01:00:48,920 --> 01:00:52,200
Speaker 2: Now it's like twenty two percent. Of the year, a

1000
01:00:52,200 --> 01:00:55,040
Speaker 2: lot of football left to be played, and given the

1001
01:00:55,080 --> 01:00:58,720
Speaker 2: Dolphins loss on Monday, I'm also still not even certain

1002
01:00:58,760 --> 01:01:01,320
Speaker 2: the Chiefs aren't gonna end up hosting their sixth straight

1003
01:01:01,360 --> 01:01:04,000
Speaker 2: AFC title game. So let's just pump the brakes on

1004
01:01:04,040 --> 01:01:06,800
Speaker 2: what changes need to be made, because if they are

1005
01:01:06,880 --> 01:01:09,760
Speaker 2: the two time defending Super Bowl champions, you probably aren't

1006
01:01:09,760 --> 01:01:11,400
Speaker 2: gonna want to make many changes next.

1007
01:01:12,600 --> 01:01:17,120
Speaker 3: Uh Tasso Markopolis has a question for me, Nicks, go

1008
01:01:17,240 --> 01:01:22,640
Speaker 3: to explicit explit explicitive on TV seems expletive. I've never

1009
01:01:22,720 --> 01:01:25,400
Speaker 3: said that word allowed. Exploitive on TV seems to be

1010
01:01:25,480 --> 01:01:29,240
Speaker 3: god dog it. Uh. Can you confirm that he says

1011
01:01:29,280 --> 01:01:31,000
Speaker 3: that in real life or is it just for TV?

1012
01:01:31,760 --> 01:01:34,320
Speaker 3: I can confirm he says that in real life. I've

1013
01:01:34,360 --> 01:01:36,080
Speaker 3: heard him. He says god dog All.

1014
01:01:36,200 --> 01:01:38,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean I So the thing is this, I

1015
01:01:38,480 --> 01:01:43,640
Speaker 2: usually I used to always say the profane version of that,

1016
01:01:44,040 --> 01:01:47,080
Speaker 2: but you can't say that on TV. And that's the

1017
01:01:47,120 --> 01:01:48,920
Speaker 2: one curse that really bothers.

1018
01:01:49,560 --> 01:01:50,080
Speaker 1: Uh.

1019
01:01:50,320 --> 01:01:55,200
Speaker 2: Demanse's mom and so no, no, no, your mom and

1020
01:01:55,320 --> 01:01:58,320
Speaker 2: so I so I I just say god dog it.

1021
01:01:58,920 --> 01:01:59,120
Speaker 3: Uh.

1022
01:01:59,160 --> 01:01:59,919
Speaker 2: And so that's why.

1023
01:02:00,080 --> 01:02:05,080
Speaker 3: But go ahead, Michael asked Nick do you, uh, how

1024
01:02:05,080 --> 01:02:08,600
Speaker 3: do you suggest someone study modern poker theory?

1025
01:02:08,680 --> 01:02:10,720
Speaker 2: Well, you know, it's so funny. There is a great

1026
01:02:10,800 --> 01:02:15,720
Speaker 2: book called Modern Poker Theory Theory called by Michael is

1027
01:02:15,760 --> 01:02:20,439
Speaker 2: it asseveto hold on? Let me get it or Michael, Yeah,

1028
01:02:20,560 --> 01:02:21,480
Speaker 2: Michael Acevedo.

1029
01:02:21,840 --> 01:02:22,400
Speaker 3: Uh.

1030
01:02:22,840 --> 01:02:28,000
Speaker 2: It's dense, but it is discernible and if you just

1031
01:02:28,080 --> 01:02:30,520
Speaker 2: kind of work your way through it, that gives you

1032
01:02:30,560 --> 01:02:34,360
Speaker 2: the building blocks of what is modern poker theory, which

1033
01:02:34,360 --> 01:02:38,320
Speaker 2: again that's another podcast for another day. Whether I think

1034
01:02:38,360 --> 01:02:42,320
Speaker 2: some people have gotten way worse at poker by trying

1035
01:02:42,440 --> 01:02:46,240
Speaker 2: to implement these game theory optimal principles that they're not

1036
01:02:46,320 --> 01:02:49,840
Speaker 2: equipped to rather than playing the way they previously were.

1037
01:02:50,160 --> 01:02:52,480
Speaker 2: But if you really want to take the leap into

1038
01:02:52,560 --> 01:02:55,760
Speaker 2: that style of poker, that is the best book to

1039
01:02:55,840 --> 01:02:57,080
Speaker 2: start with, all right.

1040
01:02:57,160 --> 01:03:02,000
Speaker 3: Last one, Mad King Chad said hashtag ring back book club.

1041
01:03:03,240 --> 01:03:06,800
Speaker 2: Maybe after the NFL season, I didn't execute book club properly.

1042
01:03:07,280 --> 01:03:10,840
Speaker 2: I wasn't like diligent with making sure we did it.

1043
01:03:10,880 --> 01:03:13,080
Speaker 2: I didn't know. I need to like figure out how

1044
01:03:13,120 --> 01:03:15,960
Speaker 2: other people do book clubs in this format because me

1045
01:03:16,160 --> 01:03:19,240
Speaker 2: just like doing twenty minute recaps of the chapters is

1046
01:03:19,320 --> 01:03:22,680
Speaker 2: not interesting. So maybe we could do it, but I

1047
01:03:22,720 --> 01:03:24,840
Speaker 2: need to figure out how to better execute it. Demanse,

1048
01:03:25,760 --> 01:03:27,560
Speaker 2: you've done it. You did a great job for at
