0:02:03.520 --> 0:02:05.480
<v Speaker 2>which means we've done about two hundred and twenty of

0:02:05.520 --> 0:02:08.880
<v Speaker 2>these because in our episode count we don't include that

0:02:09.000 --> 0:02:13.280
<v Speaker 2>original NBA player ranking series, which at some point we

0:02:13.320 --> 0:02:16.959
<v Speaker 2>will need to update. Demanse Looking Dapper for the second

0:02:17.040 --> 0:02:19.720
<v Speaker 2>straight show. Because it's our two hundred show.

0:02:19.760 --> 0:02:22.799
<v Speaker 3>I think those episodes incorporated into the number.

0:02:23.400 --> 0:02:26.480
<v Speaker 2>Oh, we do include those in the overall count. Okay,

0:02:26.520 --> 0:02:30.240
<v Speaker 2>then this is official. This is our exact two hundredth episode.

0:02:30.240 --> 0:02:32.359
<v Speaker 2>I didn't know that initially, we didn't. We must have

0:02:32.520 --> 0:02:35.320
<v Speaker 2>backdated some of the episodes. So yes, we have now

0:02:35.360 --> 0:02:38.160
<v Speaker 2>done two hundred of these. What's right with Nick? Right?

0:02:38.200 --> 0:02:41.840
<v Speaker 2>And we might have a surprise in studio guest. We

0:02:41.919 --> 0:02:45.200
<v Speaker 2>also might not have a surprise in studio guest, as

0:02:45.240 --> 0:02:48.440
<v Speaker 2>that person's phone is going directly to voicemail as we speak,

0:02:48.560 --> 0:02:51.839
<v Speaker 2>So maybe they're coming, maybe they're not. Demanse I think

0:02:51.919 --> 0:02:55.080
<v Speaker 2>has some things planned to commemorate the two hundredth episode,

0:02:55.120 --> 0:02:57.919
<v Speaker 2>but other than that, we're into a straightforward gambling show

0:02:58.760 --> 0:03:01.720
<v Speaker 2>in the B block, our regular show here in the A's,

0:03:01.760 --> 0:03:03.960
<v Speaker 2>and where we're gonna start is with what missed the cut?

0:03:03.960 --> 0:03:06.040
<v Speaker 2>And one of the things that missed the cut didn't

0:03:06.080 --> 0:03:07.840
<v Speaker 2>really miss the cut, because we're gonna talk about it

0:03:07.840 --> 0:03:11.480
<v Speaker 2>for a moment, Yannis dropping sixty four points on the Pacers.

0:03:11.480 --> 0:03:14.079
<v Speaker 2>More on that in the moment, Travis Kelsey calls out

0:03:14.120 --> 0:03:17.240
<v Speaker 2>media over their wide receiver takes and my take on

0:03:17.320 --> 0:03:20.280
<v Speaker 2>a third live action Willy Wonka movie. I like the

0:03:20.320 --> 0:03:23.520
<v Speaker 2>Willy Wonka movies. Let's talk Giannis and the Pacers just

0:03:23.600 --> 0:03:26.200
<v Speaker 2>for a moment, and then we'll get to the actual game.

0:03:26.680 --> 0:03:31.800
<v Speaker 2>So I just got into the most ridiculous argument with

0:03:31.960 --> 0:03:34.840
<v Speaker 2>Kevin Wilds on the zoom call for First Things First,

0:03:35.000 --> 0:03:38.400
<v Speaker 2>because Wilds just said flippantly he was like, I know

0:03:38.520 --> 0:03:42.000
<v Speaker 2>Yai as part of Yannis's potential anger, he was like,

0:03:42.040 --> 0:03:44.160
<v Speaker 2>I know Yannis has a ton of money. He's like,

0:03:44.240 --> 0:03:48.880
<v Speaker 2>but that basketball is worth hundreds of thousands of dollars.

0:03:49.480 --> 0:03:51.760
<v Speaker 2>And I thought that was maybe the worst sports take

0:03:51.800 --> 0:03:54.640
<v Speaker 2>of twenty twenty three. Maybe got it in right under

0:03:54.680 --> 0:03:57.280
<v Speaker 2>the wire that if Yannis was like, you know what,

0:03:57.320 --> 0:04:00.800
<v Speaker 2>I'm gonna auction this ball off for charity, it's the game,

0:04:00.920 --> 0:04:03.680
<v Speaker 2>use ball for my career high that you could get

0:04:04.120 --> 0:04:08.400
<v Speaker 2>hundreds of thousands of dollars, I think probably twenty five

0:04:08.480 --> 0:04:11.320
<v Speaker 2>thousand is maybe the north end of it. Wilds is

0:04:11.360 --> 0:04:13.360
<v Speaker 2>convinced I'm out of my mind. But that is not

0:04:13.480 --> 0:04:16.839
<v Speaker 2>the real takeaway. Demons. Here is my takeaway, and then

0:04:16.880 --> 0:04:18.919
<v Speaker 2>I'll get yours, and then we'll get into the actual show.

0:04:19.560 --> 0:04:24.000
<v Speaker 2>I have two takeaways. First one, is this more success

0:04:24.040 --> 0:04:27.719
<v Speaker 2>for the n season tournament. What do I mean Pacers

0:04:28.120 --> 0:04:31.919
<v Speaker 2>Bucks is a little rivalry now because of the nd

0:04:32.000 --> 0:04:36.520
<v Speaker 2>season tournament. They played each other a couple weeks before

0:04:36.560 --> 0:04:39.640
<v Speaker 2>the nd season tournament and then they played in the semifinals.

0:04:40.200 --> 0:04:43.920
<v Speaker 2>Haliburton did the Dame time thing, the Pacers sent them

0:04:43.960 --> 0:04:48.080
<v Speaker 2>home last night. Yannis plays with you know, an anger,

0:04:48.240 --> 0:04:52.000
<v Speaker 2>takes some hard fouls, scores a career high, a Bucks

0:04:52.040 --> 0:04:55.479
<v Speaker 2>franchise record, So a real rivalrybutting that I don't know

0:04:55.560 --> 0:04:58.640
<v Speaker 2>happens without the semifinal game between these two teams. That's

0:04:58.680 --> 0:05:02.680
<v Speaker 2>first point. Here's my second point. I think Yannis is

0:05:02.720 --> 0:05:07.680
<v Speaker 2>pressed right now. I think Yannis is a little anxious

0:05:07.880 --> 0:05:12.240
<v Speaker 2>and a little uptight about despite being seventeen and seven,

0:05:12.800 --> 0:05:16.320
<v Speaker 2>despite uh, you know, obviously having one of the best

0:05:16.320 --> 0:05:18.960
<v Speaker 2>games of his career last night. I don't think he

0:05:19.160 --> 0:05:23.279
<v Speaker 2>feels like this season has gone quite as smoothly as

0:05:23.279 --> 0:05:27.240
<v Speaker 2>he anticipated with the addition of Damian Lillard. I think

0:05:27.240 --> 0:05:31.800
<v Speaker 2>there's real anxiety about how great the Bucks actually are,

0:05:32.360 --> 0:05:35.400
<v Speaker 2>whether or not they're even the favorites in the East,

0:05:35.520 --> 0:05:38.320
<v Speaker 2>let alone in all of the NBA. And I think

0:05:38.320 --> 0:05:41.200
<v Speaker 2>you're seeing some of that bubble up. What was your

0:05:41.279 --> 0:05:42.040
<v Speaker 2>takeaway on it?

0:05:43.640 --> 0:05:47.080
<v Speaker 3>Well, my takeaway was that he's just a giant baby.

0:05:48.279 --> 0:05:50.960
<v Speaker 3>I think there's been a couple incidents of Yannis throwing

0:05:51.000 --> 0:05:54.359
<v Speaker 3>tantrums at the end of games. I do get it,

0:05:54.400 --> 0:05:57.000
<v Speaker 3>but it it seemed like that ball might not have

0:05:57.080 --> 0:05:59.560
<v Speaker 3>even been taken at the end of the game.

0:06:00.600 --> 0:06:06.560
<v Speaker 2>So I have not yet fully digested the full Rob Perez,

0:06:06.600 --> 0:06:09.680
<v Speaker 2>who does a great job with these things investigation, he

0:06:09.720 --> 0:06:13.560
<v Speaker 2>does a twit twelve minute what he called WOB investigation

0:06:14.560 --> 0:06:18.000
<v Speaker 2>Worldwide WOB. That is Rob Perez on Twitter. You should

0:06:18.040 --> 0:06:19.640
<v Speaker 2>check it out. He'll get to the bottom of it.

0:06:19.680 --> 0:06:23.000
<v Speaker 2>I'm sure there did seem to be some confusion. Giannis

0:06:23.080 --> 0:06:25.960
<v Speaker 2>was adamant. I've played with the ball all day. I

0:06:26.080 --> 0:06:28.160
<v Speaker 2>know what the game ball was. The ball they gave

0:06:28.200 --> 0:06:31.120
<v Speaker 2>me is not the game ball. The Pacers were trying

0:06:31.120 --> 0:06:32.839
<v Speaker 2>to get it for a rookie who had never scored

0:06:32.880 --> 0:06:35.760
<v Speaker 2>a point, except he actually did score a point in

0:06:35.800 --> 0:06:39.760
<v Speaker 2>the nd season tournament final, but technically those points don't

0:06:39.800 --> 0:06:42.840
<v Speaker 2>count because the nd season Tournament final is like a

0:06:42.880 --> 0:06:46.600
<v Speaker 2>standalone thing. So the whole thing seems silly and petty.

0:06:46.960 --> 0:06:49.840
<v Speaker 2>That really I think comes from the Bucks being a

0:06:49.839 --> 0:06:53.880
<v Speaker 2>little pressed. That's my takeaway. Speaking demons of people being

0:06:53.960 --> 0:06:56.840
<v Speaker 2>pressed Draymond Green. Now we can get into the actual

0:06:56.880 --> 0:06:57.760
<v Speaker 2>topics of the show.

0:06:57.800 --> 0:07:01.160
<v Speaker 3>Go ahead. Yeah, So Draymond Green and just got suspended

0:07:01.160 --> 0:07:06.320
<v Speaker 3>indefinitely obviously through the spinning backfist and knock Nurkids to

0:07:06.360 --> 0:07:08.560
<v Speaker 3>the ground. He's saying that he doesn't even have the

0:07:08.600 --> 0:07:13.040
<v Speaker 3>coordination or accuracy to land something like that. I've got

0:07:13.120 --> 0:07:15.720
<v Speaker 3>a couple of theories on the situation, but are you

0:07:15.800 --> 0:07:16.280
<v Speaker 3>buying that?

0:07:18.160 --> 0:07:23.680
<v Speaker 2>Well, so listen. Obviously I'm not buying Draymond's explanation, and

0:07:23.760 --> 0:07:29.960
<v Speaker 2>obviously the NBA isn't either, And because his explanation is

0:07:30.000 --> 0:07:35.200
<v Speaker 2>that he needs coordination classes, not therapy, not help, And

0:07:35.280 --> 0:07:36.960
<v Speaker 2>Kevin Durant came out and said, I hope he gets

0:07:37.000 --> 0:07:38.880
<v Speaker 2>the help he needs. Nurkic said, I hope he gets

0:07:38.920 --> 0:07:40.520
<v Speaker 2>the help he needs. And then the Warriors in the

0:07:40.600 --> 0:07:42.480
<v Speaker 2>NBA came out and said, yeah, he needs help.

0:07:43.080 --> 0:07:45.840
<v Speaker 3>I actually therapy, Like what do you mean by.

0:07:45.760 --> 0:07:49.200
<v Speaker 2>An anger management something? I don't know to deal with what?

0:07:49.400 --> 0:07:54.200
<v Speaker 2>But it doesn't jive with his own explanation, so I

0:07:54.240 --> 0:07:59.080
<v Speaker 2>have I Most people reacted to this like, oh wow,

0:07:59.560 --> 0:08:02.920
<v Speaker 2>Adam's Silver in the NBA came down hard on Draymond

0:08:03.280 --> 0:08:07.200
<v Speaker 2>That was not my reaction because there is I need

0:08:07.240 --> 0:08:11.200
<v Speaker 2>to see how long the suspension actually is. I think

0:08:11.320 --> 0:08:15.120
<v Speaker 2>it needs to be a minimum of ten games, and

0:08:15.160 --> 0:08:18.160
<v Speaker 2>if you tell me it's fifteen or twenty, I'll listen

0:08:18.200 --> 0:08:20.640
<v Speaker 2>to that. I won't think that's out of line. So

0:08:20.720 --> 0:08:24.160
<v Speaker 2>if you want to call it indefinite, I wish Adam

0:08:24.240 --> 0:08:30.320
<v Speaker 2>Silver had said that it was a minimum of ten games.

0:08:30.920 --> 0:08:32.960
<v Speaker 2>You know what I mean. But it will be indefinite.

0:08:33.320 --> 0:08:36.720
<v Speaker 2>But here is the full statement the NBA released. Golden

0:08:36.760 --> 0:08:39.680
<v Speaker 2>State Warriors forward Draymond Green's been suspended in definitely for

0:08:39.720 --> 0:08:42.440
<v Speaker 2>striking Phoenix Sun centered use of nurkicch in the face.

0:08:42.679 --> 0:08:46.600
<v Speaker 2>It was announced Tuesday or today by Joe Dumars. Whatever

0:08:46.800 --> 0:08:51.600
<v Speaker 2>the outcome takes into account Green's repeated history of unsportsmanlike x.

0:08:52.000 --> 0:08:56.160
<v Speaker 2>Green's suspension will begin immediately. He will be required to

0:08:56.200 --> 0:09:01.080
<v Speaker 2>meet certain league and team conditions before he returns to play.

0:09:01.920 --> 0:09:04.920
<v Speaker 2>I think that there should have just been an additional

0:09:04.960 --> 0:09:08.600
<v Speaker 2>line that says the suspension will be a minimum of

0:09:08.960 --> 0:09:12.960
<v Speaker 2>x amount of games. And I also think that the

0:09:13.080 --> 0:09:21.840
<v Speaker 2>NBA they are taking almost the restorative approach, Like we're

0:09:21.880 --> 0:09:24.520
<v Speaker 2>worried about Draymond, we want what's best for him. He

0:09:24.600 --> 0:09:27.080
<v Speaker 2>needs to go through these things, similar to what they

0:09:27.120 --> 0:09:30.000
<v Speaker 2>initially did with Jaw the first time. There was the

0:09:30.040 --> 0:09:32.400
<v Speaker 2>gun thing where it's like, you know he's gonna step

0:09:32.440 --> 0:09:34.880
<v Speaker 2>away and you know get the help he needs at

0:09:34.880 --> 0:09:36.760
<v Speaker 2>some point. And I know I'm gonna sound like an

0:09:36.760 --> 0:09:42.080
<v Speaker 2>old man. Punishments need to be punitive, not just there,

0:09:42.120 --> 0:09:45.880
<v Speaker 2>not just about becoming a better person. It needs to

0:09:45.920 --> 0:09:49.160
<v Speaker 2>be You acted a fool. You could have broken this

0:09:49.240 --> 0:09:54.560
<v Speaker 2>guy's eye socket. You are in trouble. In addition to

0:09:54.679 --> 0:09:58.480
<v Speaker 2>the trouble, we want to give you a procedure so

0:09:58.559 --> 0:10:02.640
<v Speaker 2>you are less likely to do this again. But Draymond

0:10:02.679 --> 0:10:07.680
<v Speaker 2>Green is wildly out of control. He's and Demons's in

0:10:07.720 --> 0:10:12.520
<v Speaker 2>the last In the last fifteen months, he has sucker

0:10:12.559 --> 0:10:16.040
<v Speaker 2>punched a teammates. He has stopped on Sabonis's chest, he

0:10:16.240 --> 0:10:22.000
<v Speaker 2>has choked out Rudy Gobert, and he's backfisted Nurkice. And

0:10:22.080 --> 0:10:24.120
<v Speaker 2>I would argue, what do all four of those have

0:10:24.240 --> 0:10:27.000
<v Speaker 2>in common? The person he hit didn't see it coming,

0:10:28.200 --> 0:10:31.320
<v Speaker 2>So yes, I understand Jordan Poole was facing him, But

0:10:31.440 --> 0:10:35.080
<v Speaker 2>you're with teammates at practice. No matter what you say,

0:10:35.200 --> 0:10:39.480
<v Speaker 2>you don't think I'm about to get hit. Certainly, Sabonis

0:10:39.559 --> 0:10:42.640
<v Speaker 2>was not in position to defend himself. He's prone laying

0:10:42.679 --> 0:10:46.960
<v Speaker 2>on the ground. Gobert wasn't looking at Draymond, and Nurkic

0:10:47.120 --> 0:10:51.680
<v Speaker 2>was just playing defense. This is like fake tough guy books.

0:10:52.760 --> 0:10:56.760
<v Speaker 2>And the Warriors own a lot of this because they didn't.

0:10:56.880 --> 0:11:00.720
<v Speaker 2>Draymond got in no trouble for the pool thing because

0:11:00.920 --> 0:11:06.000
<v Speaker 2>Ring Night, the ceremony was so important, and I just

0:11:06.360 --> 0:11:10.120
<v Speaker 2>here's my other question. So right now, Draymond take out

0:11:10.160 --> 0:11:14.319
<v Speaker 2>the pool thing. In the last twenty six games he's played,

0:11:15.000 --> 0:11:20.559
<v Speaker 2>he has three overtly violent acts the stomp, the choke,

0:11:21.040 --> 0:11:25.600
<v Speaker 2>and the backfist that's won every nine games. Can't go

0:11:25.679 --> 0:11:29.880
<v Speaker 2>three weeks of basketball without it. Let's say he gets

0:11:29.920 --> 0:11:36.120
<v Speaker 2>fifteen games. If he does this again, what's the next penalty?

0:11:37.520 --> 0:11:41.280
<v Speaker 2>If there is another totally I'm not talking about a

0:11:41.280 --> 0:11:48.080
<v Speaker 2>hard foul, but totally outside the scope of basketball violent act,

0:11:48.640 --> 0:11:53.360
<v Speaker 2>what is the next penalty? Because I would argue the

0:11:53.400 --> 0:11:58.199
<v Speaker 2>next penalty is you're done for the year. That we

0:11:58.240 --> 0:12:02.280
<v Speaker 2>look at these two incidents this year as first two

0:12:02.360 --> 0:12:06.120
<v Speaker 2>strikes and the next one. No matter when and where

0:12:06.160 --> 0:12:09.439
<v Speaker 2>it happens, if it happens, And at this point, how

0:12:09.480 --> 0:12:14.440
<v Speaker 2>can anyone think it's not going to happen. Uh, He's

0:12:14.520 --> 0:12:18.760
<v Speaker 2>just done for the season. And I feel badly for Steph.

0:12:18.840 --> 0:12:22.760
<v Speaker 2>Man tell you that much. Right now, Wiggins hadn't been

0:12:22.800 --> 0:12:26.880
<v Speaker 2>the same player since the championship. Clay God love him,

0:12:27.000 --> 0:12:30.640
<v Speaker 2>is a shell of himself. The young players haven't grown

0:12:30.679 --> 0:12:34.000
<v Speaker 2>the way you would expect, and Draymond is spiraling out

0:12:34.000 --> 0:12:38.719
<v Speaker 2>of control. Right, All of those things are fair statements.

0:12:39.000 --> 0:12:42.680
<v Speaker 2>And then you have Steph playing some of the best

0:12:42.720 --> 0:12:49.880
<v Speaker 2>ball of his life still unbelievably and it is and

0:12:49.920 --> 0:12:51.600
<v Speaker 2>I'm the right now, I'm looking at my phone because

0:12:51.600 --> 0:12:54.319
<v Speaker 2>I wanted to check and see say it again.

0:12:54.720 --> 0:12:58.080
<v Speaker 3>It's like, do it for Steph Draymond, you know, but

0:12:58.200 --> 0:13:03.400
<v Speaker 3>he can't get people, he can't control himself, is right?

0:13:03.960 --> 0:13:04.840
<v Speaker 2>Am I wrong on that?

0:13:05.760 --> 0:13:06.520
<v Speaker 3>Yeah?

0:13:06.559 --> 0:13:09.520
<v Speaker 2>Go ahead, No, I was just seeing if Draymond's still podcasting.

0:13:10.160 --> 0:13:13.000
<v Speaker 3>I think that maybe that he's trying to build up

0:13:13.000 --> 0:13:16.520
<v Speaker 3>a resume so that when when the Warriors realize that

0:13:16.559 --> 0:13:19.959
<v Speaker 3>he's washed. Dana White's seen some moves that he's put

0:13:20.000 --> 0:13:21.720
<v Speaker 3>out in the NBA and maybe he'll pick him up

0:13:21.760 --> 0:13:22.680
<v Speaker 3>and give him a contract.

0:13:23.160 --> 0:13:26.560
<v Speaker 2>But well, so hold on real quick. But do you

0:13:26.600 --> 0:13:31.400
<v Speaker 2>have another theory as well or can I expand on that?

0:13:32.160 --> 0:13:33.440
<v Speaker 3>Go ahead? Go ahead?

0:13:33.600 --> 0:13:38.960
<v Speaker 2>So I mean you're joking mostly. But as far as

0:13:39.040 --> 0:13:43.240
<v Speaker 2>Draymond's post career career, he was supposed to have had

0:13:43.280 --> 0:13:48.880
<v Speaker 2>one lined up take over for Berkley on inside the NBA.

0:13:49.440 --> 0:13:52.640
<v Speaker 2>I think he's putting that in jeopardy. I think that

0:13:54.800 --> 0:13:58.439
<v Speaker 2>he's not retiring anytime soon. He just signed a four year,

0:13:58.559 --> 0:14:01.040
<v Speaker 2>hundred million dollar deal. That's the other part of it.

0:14:01.080 --> 0:14:02.800
<v Speaker 2>The Warriors are on the hook for all this right,

0:14:03.440 --> 0:14:07.720
<v Speaker 2>four year, one hundred million dollar deal. In five years,

0:14:07.840 --> 0:14:12.520
<v Speaker 2>if Draymond retires, what will he be most known for?

0:14:13.800 --> 0:14:17.960
<v Speaker 2>What will that era of NBA fans when they see Draymond?

0:14:18.040 --> 0:14:23.520
<v Speaker 2>Will they think a key cog of a dynasty or

0:14:23.560 --> 0:14:28.560
<v Speaker 2>will they think a crazy person? And listen, he is

0:14:28.640 --> 0:14:31.200
<v Speaker 2>one of the greatest defensive players ever. He is, in

0:14:31.280 --> 0:14:34.600
<v Speaker 2>my opinion, the second most important warrior of the dynasty.

0:14:34.880 --> 0:14:41.920
<v Speaker 2>But he's lost the plot. And as anyone can tell

0:14:41.960 --> 0:14:45.440
<v Speaker 2>you in any industry, and we've talked about this on

0:14:45.520 --> 0:14:50.480
<v Speaker 2>the show many times, if you are high maintenance, if

0:14:50.520 --> 0:14:54.280
<v Speaker 2>you are a problem, if you are constantly a headache,

0:14:54.560 --> 0:14:59.960
<v Speaker 2>the moment your value starts to drop. People start looking

0:15:00.080 --> 0:15:03.440
<v Speaker 2>for exit plans, they start trying to be able to

0:15:03.440 --> 0:15:07.560
<v Speaker 2>pull the ripcord. And I don't know what the Warriors

0:15:07.600 --> 0:15:12.400
<v Speaker 2>do now, because right now, who wants to take on

0:15:12.520 --> 0:15:17.040
<v Speaker 2>Draymond's deal four years, one hundred million bucks. They didn't

0:15:17.080 --> 0:15:21.320
<v Speaker 2>sign Clay. Now, basketball wise, that looks like a smart decision,

0:15:21.520 --> 0:15:25.080
<v Speaker 2>vibes wise, it might have really messed with Clay. Reportedly,

0:15:25.120 --> 0:15:28.120
<v Speaker 2>he was offered two years forty eight million dollar extension.

0:15:28.200 --> 0:15:32.480
<v Speaker 2>He turned it down. I have no idea what type

0:15:32.480 --> 0:15:35.440
<v Speaker 2>of money Klay Thompson would get right now on the

0:15:35.480 --> 0:15:39.680
<v Speaker 2>open market. We love Clay, but he can't guard anymore

0:15:39.760 --> 0:15:42.720
<v Speaker 2>and he's just not the same guy, and he.

0:15:42.640 --> 0:15:45.920
<v Speaker 3>Is getting a more extended contract than Clay Thompson. Was

0:15:45.920 --> 0:15:46.400
<v Speaker 3>that because of.

0:15:46.480 --> 0:15:50.840
<v Speaker 2>Claytons well, for two reasons. One was Draymond was a

0:15:50.880 --> 0:15:54.440
<v Speaker 2>true free agent, so Draymond could leave. Clay still had

0:15:54.520 --> 0:15:58.120
<v Speaker 2>this year left on his deal, so they weren't forced

0:15:58.160 --> 0:16:01.640
<v Speaker 2>to do it. And Clay is maybe it's the contract,

0:16:01.720 --> 0:16:05.160
<v Speaker 2>maybe it's the wear and tearor but Clay last year

0:16:05.760 --> 0:16:08.200
<v Speaker 2>he was bad in the playoffs, but in the regular

0:16:08.320 --> 0:16:11.520
<v Speaker 2>season he was good. He was twenty to a game,

0:16:11.640 --> 0:16:14.360
<v Speaker 2>forty four percent from the field, forty one percent from

0:16:14.400 --> 0:16:18.280
<v Speaker 2>three better three point I mean identical three point percentage

0:16:18.280 --> 0:16:22.280
<v Speaker 2>to his career average. This year, He's fifteen a game,

0:16:23.120 --> 0:16:26.440
<v Speaker 2>thirty nine percent from the field, thirty four percent from three.

0:16:27.120 --> 0:16:30.880
<v Speaker 2>It looks like it went for it. Warriors in a

0:16:31.040 --> 0:16:35.840
<v Speaker 2>really rough spot, which is pretty remarkable considering the fact

0:16:36.200 --> 0:16:42.360
<v Speaker 2>that Steph has been brilliant once again. Steph twenty nine

0:16:42.400 --> 0:16:46.480
<v Speaker 2>to five and four on forty seven percent and forty

0:16:46.560 --> 0:16:50.040
<v Speaker 2>two percent from three on twelve threes a game. Just

0:16:50.280 --> 0:16:55.480
<v Speaker 2>absurd efficiency in numbers for Steph Curry. And one last

0:16:55.480 --> 0:16:58.920
<v Speaker 2>point on this Warriors gonna mess around and miss the

0:16:58.920 --> 0:17:04.400
<v Speaker 2>playoffs that right now demands. They're the eleven seed, okay,

0:17:04.880 --> 0:17:07.800
<v Speaker 2>and they're the eleven seed by a wide margin. They're

0:17:07.840 --> 0:17:10.359
<v Speaker 2>two and a half back of the ten. Here are

0:17:10.400 --> 0:17:15.080
<v Speaker 2>the teams ahead of them. Minnesota not going anywhere. Oka,

0:17:15.280 --> 0:17:19.320
<v Speaker 2>see I'm going top to bottom, not going anywhere, Dallas

0:17:20.320 --> 0:17:25.000
<v Speaker 2>not going anywhere. Denver obviously not going anywhere, the Lakers

0:17:25.400 --> 0:17:30.440
<v Speaker 2>not going anywhere, the Kings maybe so put a little

0:17:30.440 --> 0:17:37.520
<v Speaker 2>pin in them, the Rockets maybe, the Clippers maybe, and

0:17:37.520 --> 0:17:40.240
<v Speaker 2>then the Pelicans and Sons who are only gonna get better.

0:17:40.920 --> 0:17:46.720
<v Speaker 2>So what they need is to survive this next month

0:17:46.800 --> 0:17:50.360
<v Speaker 2>or however long it's gonna be without Draymond, probably make

0:17:50.480 --> 0:17:56.240
<v Speaker 2>up some ground and have Kings, Rockets, Clippers fall off

0:17:56.359 --> 0:18:00.840
<v Speaker 2>like you could see a Warrior's seat with the healthy

0:18:00.920 --> 0:18:05.440
<v Speaker 2>Steph Curry missed the playoffs all together. Just unbelievable.

0:18:05.480 --> 0:18:08.640
<v Speaker 3>All right, next a right, there are reports that Belichick

0:18:08.680 --> 0:18:10.359
<v Speaker 3>and the Patriots are gonna split up at the end

0:18:10.400 --> 0:18:13.040
<v Speaker 3>of the season. We all know that he's been trying

0:18:13.080 --> 0:18:16.280
<v Speaker 3>to chase Shula's record, but do we have faith in

0:18:16.359 --> 0:18:18.960
<v Speaker 3>him being this old and him being able to get there?

0:18:19.320 --> 0:18:20.800
<v Speaker 3>And where do you think that he'd end up if

0:18:20.840 --> 0:18:22.560
<v Speaker 3>you were to end up on another team next season?

0:18:23.560 --> 0:18:27.160
<v Speaker 2>So with the right team, I do think he could

0:18:27.160 --> 0:18:31.359
<v Speaker 2>get there. So the underrated part of the Patriots is

0:18:31.400 --> 0:18:35.000
<v Speaker 2>this last month they've had the best defense in the NFL,

0:18:35.440 --> 0:18:39.600
<v Speaker 2>despite not having Matthew Judan and despite not having Christian Gonzales.

0:18:40.000 --> 0:18:42.520
<v Speaker 2>They lost to the Colts, they allowed ten points. They

0:18:42.520 --> 0:18:44.960
<v Speaker 2>lost to the Giants, they allowed ten points. They lost

0:18:44.960 --> 0:18:48.480
<v Speaker 2>to the Chargers, they allowed six points. They beat the Steelers,

0:18:48.520 --> 0:18:53.119
<v Speaker 2>they allowed eighteen points. The defense has been quite good,

0:18:53.520 --> 0:18:57.760
<v Speaker 2>and that's Belichick's specialty. Obviously he should not be picking

0:18:57.800 --> 0:19:01.800
<v Speaker 2>the players anymore, and obviously the offensive side of the

0:19:01.880 --> 0:19:05.600
<v Speaker 2>game has kind of passed him by. But I have

0:19:05.760 --> 0:19:08.719
<v Speaker 2>the I'll tell you right now, Demonse, I have the

0:19:08.760 --> 0:19:11.880
<v Speaker 2>most fun option for him. So we can just go

0:19:11.960 --> 0:19:14.679
<v Speaker 2>division by division and talk about where there could be

0:19:14.720 --> 0:19:20.119
<v Speaker 2>openings where he could land. Okay, AFC East, the Dolphins

0:19:20.119 --> 0:19:23.320
<v Speaker 2>are obviously not gonna change coaches. The Bills might, the

0:19:23.400 --> 0:19:27.600
<v Speaker 2>Jets might. I do not think the Patriots would ever

0:19:27.840 --> 0:19:31.600
<v Speaker 2>trade him to one of those two teams. He hates

0:19:31.640 --> 0:19:34.080
<v Speaker 2>the Jets. I don't think he wants to go there.

0:19:34.640 --> 0:19:38.280
<v Speaker 2>And the Bills, if they were to move off of McDermott,

0:19:38.440 --> 0:19:41.320
<v Speaker 2>they would probably want an offensive minded head coach. So

0:19:41.440 --> 0:19:45.480
<v Speaker 2>let's cross out the AFC East the AFC North. There

0:19:45.480 --> 0:19:50.280
<v Speaker 2>will be no coaching changes. Ravens, Brown, Steelers, Bengals. They

0:19:50.480 --> 0:19:54.679
<v Speaker 2>people are speculating could Tomlin the Steelers move on from

0:19:54.720 --> 0:19:58.040
<v Speaker 2>Mike Tomlin. I think that's crazy, But if they did,

0:19:58.400 --> 0:20:02.560
<v Speaker 2>they wouldn't go to just, you know, an older defensive coach.

0:20:02.600 --> 0:20:05.240
<v Speaker 2>They would want to change things up entirely. I don't

0:20:05.240 --> 0:20:08.200
<v Speaker 2>think there's gonna be any coaching changes there. The AFC

0:20:08.280 --> 0:20:13.720
<v Speaker 2>South definitively will have no coaching changes. Jags, Colts, Texans, Titans,

0:20:14.240 --> 0:20:17.960
<v Speaker 2>I would think are all thrilled with their coaches. Vrabel. Yes,

0:20:17.960 --> 0:20:20.800
<v Speaker 2>they're having a tough year. They're not moving off Mike Brabel.

0:20:20.840 --> 0:20:22.919
<v Speaker 2>He's one of the better coaches in the league. So

0:20:23.080 --> 0:20:27.560
<v Speaker 2>cross that out the AFC West. Obviously, the Broncos and

0:20:27.640 --> 0:20:30.920
<v Speaker 2>Chiefs are not changing coaches. The Chargers likely will. The

0:20:31.000 --> 0:20:36.480
<v Speaker 2>Raiders already have. I think both of those franchises are

0:20:36.520 --> 0:20:42.520
<v Speaker 2>too cheap. Certainly, the Chargers are too cheap to pay

0:20:42.560 --> 0:20:45.119
<v Speaker 2>Belichick what he makes, and the Raiders are still paying

0:20:45.160 --> 0:20:48.640
<v Speaker 2>Gruden and paying McDaniels. And I don't think Belichick wants

0:20:48.720 --> 0:20:51.480
<v Speaker 2>Tom Brady to be one of his bosses so because

0:20:51.520 --> 0:20:53.120
<v Speaker 2>he's a part owner or wants to be a part

0:20:53.119 --> 0:20:55.160
<v Speaker 2>owner of the Raiders. So I think we can cross

0:20:55.160 --> 0:20:57.480
<v Speaker 2>out the whole AFC before I go to the NFC.

0:20:57.520 --> 0:21:03.520
<v Speaker 2>Go ahead, demanse, go ahead. No, it looked like you

0:21:03.560 --> 0:21:06.160
<v Speaker 2>wanted to say something about something. I said, Oh.

0:21:06.040 --> 0:21:08.800
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, no, it was when you said something about the Chargers.

0:21:08.840 --> 0:21:11.280
<v Speaker 3>I was thinking about Belichick going to the Chargers, but

0:21:11.880 --> 0:21:12.400
<v Speaker 3>you said something.

0:21:13.119 --> 0:21:16.280
<v Speaker 2>I think that would be a good fit and he'd

0:21:16.320 --> 0:21:19.920
<v Speaker 2>have a quarterback, but I don't think the Spano's family's

0:21:19.960 --> 0:21:22.720
<v Speaker 2>gonna pay him. So now we go to the NFC

0:21:22.760 --> 0:21:26.480
<v Speaker 2>East Giants, Eagles, Cowboys are not changing their coaches. But

0:21:26.840 --> 0:21:29.960
<v Speaker 2>what I will tell you is galaxy brain take by

0:21:29.960 --> 0:21:33.360
<v Speaker 2>Nora Princiati that I heard this morning on The Ring

0:21:33.440 --> 0:21:37.679
<v Speaker 2>Or NFL Show. She said, what if the Cowboys have

0:21:37.960 --> 0:21:43.959
<v Speaker 2>just a devastating, mortifying playoff defeat, could Jerry Jones be like, screwed,

0:21:44.040 --> 0:21:49.320
<v Speaker 2>I'm firing McCarthy And would Belichick work there? Absolutely? He would.

0:21:49.560 --> 0:21:53.040
<v Speaker 2>The offense is already built. You could like, I don't

0:21:53.040 --> 0:21:56.120
<v Speaker 2>think McCarthy's gonna get fired. I don't think the Cowboys

0:21:56.160 --> 0:21:58.760
<v Speaker 2>are gonna have a mortifying playoff defeat. But that's Nora

0:21:58.840 --> 0:22:04.480
<v Speaker 2>Princiatti's kind of hypothetical that I thought was super intriguing.

0:22:04.800 --> 0:22:07.600
<v Speaker 2>But let's just assume they're not firing Mike McCarthy. They're

0:22:07.600 --> 0:22:11.840
<v Speaker 2>gonna win thirteen fourteen games this year. Washington is definitely

0:22:11.880 --> 0:22:16.120
<v Speaker 2>moving off Ron RIVERA. Would Bill Belichick want to go there?

0:22:16.520 --> 0:22:19.080
<v Speaker 2>Very similar spot as New England, where all of a

0:22:19.119 --> 0:22:21.359
<v Speaker 2>sudden you're in a really tough division, you don't have

0:22:21.400 --> 0:22:25.800
<v Speaker 2>a quarterback, so I'm crossing them off. The NFC North,

0:22:26.080 --> 0:22:29.480
<v Speaker 2>the only team that's going to fire their coach potentially

0:22:29.600 --> 0:22:33.480
<v Speaker 2>is the Bears. The Bears are gonna draft Caleb Williams.

0:22:33.920 --> 0:22:37.080
<v Speaker 2>You want an offensive minded head coach that compare with

0:22:37.119 --> 0:22:40.600
<v Speaker 2>Caleb Williams for the next decade, not a defensive minded

0:22:40.640 --> 0:22:42.800
<v Speaker 2>head coach who's the second oldest coach in the league.

0:22:43.440 --> 0:22:46.919
<v Speaker 2>The NFC West, I don't think any of those teams

0:22:46.920 --> 0:22:50.240
<v Speaker 2>are firing their coaches. The Cardinals just hired Jonathan Gannon.

0:22:50.520 --> 0:22:53.439
<v Speaker 2>The other three teams like their coaches, so that leaves

0:22:53.520 --> 0:22:58.080
<v Speaker 2>us the NFC South, where all four teams could be

0:22:58.160 --> 0:23:03.120
<v Speaker 2>firing their coaches. Carolina Belichick is not gonna go work

0:23:03.160 --> 0:23:07.920
<v Speaker 2>for that owner with that quarterback situation. New Orleans Belichick again,

0:23:07.960 --> 0:23:10.640
<v Speaker 2>they don't have a quarterback. And also Belichick has been

0:23:10.680 --> 0:23:15.680
<v Speaker 2>better than any GM ever essentially at making sure your

0:23:15.760 --> 0:23:19.280
<v Speaker 2>cap situation isn't screwed up. The Saints cap situation has

0:23:19.320 --> 0:23:22.320
<v Speaker 2>perpetually screwed up. Crossed them off, So now we're down

0:23:22.359 --> 0:23:28.640
<v Speaker 2>to two teams. Atlanta could be intriguing. The offensive weapons

0:23:28.760 --> 0:23:33.520
<v Speaker 2>are already there. The defense is overachieving this year. It's

0:23:33.560 --> 0:23:38.359
<v Speaker 2>a winnable division, But you don't have anyone even adjacent

0:23:38.400 --> 0:23:41.760
<v Speaker 2>to the quarterback in the building. So that then leaves

0:23:42.960 --> 0:23:50.560
<v Speaker 2>the single most fun option the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. If

0:23:50.560 --> 0:23:54.679
<v Speaker 2>you remember, when Baker was coming out of school, it

0:23:54.760 --> 0:24:01.080
<v Speaker 2>was rumored the Patriots liked him. Furthermore, they have cleaned

0:24:01.160 --> 0:24:05.840
<v Speaker 2>up their cap situation entirely. It is a winnable division.

0:24:06.840 --> 0:24:12.360
<v Speaker 2>And last, and certainly not least, what is the only

0:24:12.480 --> 0:24:19.520
<v Speaker 2>way Bill Belichick could theoretically totally even the who won

0:24:19.600 --> 0:24:25.199
<v Speaker 2>the divorce with Tom Brady if he also goes to

0:24:25.359 --> 0:24:31.120
<v Speaker 2>Tampa Bay and wins, They're gonna need a coach. They've

0:24:31.119 --> 0:24:35.399
<v Speaker 2>got players on defense. You say what you want about Baker,

0:24:35.760 --> 0:24:40.080
<v Speaker 2>he's definitely the best quarterback in the division. They have

0:24:40.200 --> 0:24:45.639
<v Speaker 2>offensive weapons. I'm not saying that's going to happen. What

0:24:45.720 --> 0:24:49.199
<v Speaker 2>I'm saying is that's the most fun option. And I

0:24:49.240 --> 0:24:52.879
<v Speaker 2>think Bill Belichick still has his fastball. Defensively, I like

0:24:52.960 --> 0:24:57.880
<v Speaker 2>the idea of it. That is, certainly from a storyline perspective,

0:24:57.960 --> 0:25:01.520
<v Speaker 2>the best you stay on the East Coast, it's quick

0:25:01.560 --> 0:25:05.199
<v Speaker 2>trip to your house in Cape Cod. Tampa Bay Buccaneers,

0:25:05.200 --> 0:25:07.240
<v Speaker 2>Bill Belichick collision course, make it happen.

0:25:07.280 --> 0:25:11.720
<v Speaker 3>That's my answer, playing your flag there, not.

0:25:11.600 --> 0:25:16.600
<v Speaker 2>Planning my flags, but surveying potential flag real estate as

0:25:16.640 --> 0:25:17.480
<v Speaker 2>a fun option.

0:25:17.600 --> 0:25:21.479
<v Speaker 3>All right, next, all right, So this NFL season has

0:25:21.520 --> 0:25:25.720
<v Speaker 3>been played by injuries, especially at the quarterback position. It's

0:25:25.760 --> 0:25:28.280
<v Speaker 3>week fifteen and more than half of the NFL's resorted

0:25:28.280 --> 0:25:31.800
<v Speaker 3>to a second string quarterback. And the NFL all the

0:25:31.840 --> 0:25:34.760
<v Speaker 3>while is saying that they're heading to Brazil. They're trying

0:25:34.800 --> 0:25:37.679
<v Speaker 3>to expand on the globe. So what's the bigger story

0:25:37.680 --> 0:25:39.720
<v Speaker 3>this season? Would it be the injuries and the lack

0:25:39.720 --> 0:25:43.119
<v Speaker 3>of good quarterback play or would it be the NFL's expansion.

0:25:44.680 --> 0:25:49.840
<v Speaker 2>Well, the NFL, you know, playing a game in Brazil.

0:25:50.440 --> 0:25:55.560
<v Speaker 2>Eight international games. They are just flying right towards my

0:25:55.760 --> 0:26:00.600
<v Speaker 2>idea that I pitched to Roger Goodell on telew in

0:26:00.680 --> 0:26:04.320
<v Speaker 2>the first week of First Things First, that he seemed

0:26:04.920 --> 0:26:07.760
<v Speaker 2>not that interested in. But now they are clearly going

0:26:07.800 --> 0:26:11.320
<v Speaker 2>to steal from me, which is my idea of NFL

0:26:11.480 --> 0:26:14.920
<v Speaker 2>International Week. I tweeted out the clip of me doing

0:26:14.960 --> 0:26:17.720
<v Speaker 2>it on Colin Coward's show back when I had a

0:26:17.800 --> 0:26:22.399
<v Speaker 2>shaved head and wore fake glasses seven years ago. But

0:26:22.520 --> 0:26:26.000
<v Speaker 2>it is a very straightforward idea every team is eight

0:26:26.080 --> 0:26:29.439
<v Speaker 2>home eight road games. We now every team has a

0:26:29.520 --> 0:26:33.360
<v Speaker 2>seventeenth game. Anyway, it is neutral site for everyone, and

0:26:33.400 --> 0:26:36.120
<v Speaker 2>you have an additional bye week, which not only pushes

0:26:36.160 --> 0:26:38.399
<v Speaker 2>the Super Bowl back a week to where the Monday

0:26:38.400 --> 0:26:41.439
<v Speaker 2>after the Super bowl's President's Day, but everyone either on

0:26:41.480 --> 0:26:45.080
<v Speaker 2>the front end or the back end of their international

0:26:45.119 --> 0:26:48.440
<v Speaker 2>game has a bye so that way you can deal

0:26:48.480 --> 0:26:51.520
<v Speaker 2>with the travel and the jet lag. And the concept

0:26:51.560 --> 0:26:55.359
<v Speaker 2>behind NFL International Week is there are two or three

0:26:55.440 --> 0:27:00.920
<v Speaker 2>games Monday through Sunday, and depending on the time zone

0:27:00.960 --> 0:27:05.040
<v Speaker 2>they're in, is when you are when you determine, you

0:27:05.040 --> 0:27:07.399
<v Speaker 2>know when the games are going to be played. But

0:27:07.480 --> 0:27:11.000
<v Speaker 2>you could have a three pm Eastern and a six

0:27:11.080 --> 0:27:15.760
<v Speaker 2>pm Eastern game every single day of the week, or

0:27:15.840 --> 0:27:19.080
<v Speaker 2>something similar. For the time zones that that doesn't work in,

0:27:19.480 --> 0:27:22.840
<v Speaker 2>you would do either the kind of later night games

0:27:23.240 --> 0:27:27.000
<v Speaker 2>or the earlier morning games on the weekends and every

0:27:27.080 --> 0:27:30.560
<v Speaker 2>and you could sell each game as a standalone national

0:27:30.600 --> 0:27:33.480
<v Speaker 2>TV window. We'd have football on seven days a week

0:27:33.880 --> 0:27:36.679
<v Speaker 2>all across the globe. It's a brilliant idea. If you

0:27:36.720 --> 0:27:38.560
<v Speaker 2>go to my Twitter you can see it more fully

0:27:38.600 --> 0:27:41.640
<v Speaker 2>fleshed out, and the NFL is going to go there eventually,

0:27:41.840 --> 0:27:44.040
<v Speaker 2>So it's not that that's a bigger story. It's just

0:27:44.080 --> 0:27:46.320
<v Speaker 2>that it was my idea and eventually it's going to

0:27:46.400 --> 0:27:51.959
<v Speaker 2>come to fruition. Now to the quarterback stuff, it is

0:27:52.160 --> 0:27:57.200
<v Speaker 2>not a coincidence that if you look at the NFL

0:27:57.400 --> 0:28:05.119
<v Speaker 2>right now, whatevery single division leader has in common is

0:28:05.200 --> 0:28:08.080
<v Speaker 2>they are among the handful of teams who have had

0:28:08.119 --> 0:28:13.440
<v Speaker 2>the same starting quarterback every game this year. The AFC East,

0:28:14.160 --> 0:28:17.959
<v Speaker 2>two teams have had different quarterbacks. Two teams have had

0:28:18.000 --> 0:28:21.720
<v Speaker 2>the same Dolphins, Bills, same quarterback every game there first

0:28:21.720 --> 0:28:25.520
<v Speaker 2>and second, Jets, Patriots quarterback issues and injuries. Go to

0:28:25.560 --> 0:28:30.000
<v Speaker 2>the AFC North. You have the team in first place Baltimore,

0:28:30.119 --> 0:28:34.160
<v Speaker 2>Lamar's been there all year, Cleveland four different quarterbacks, Pittsburgh

0:28:34.160 --> 0:28:38.040
<v Speaker 2>two different quarterbacks, Cincinnati two different quarterbacks. Go to Jacksonville,

0:28:38.040 --> 0:28:41.640
<v Speaker 2>who's in first place the Jags. Trevor has played every

0:28:41.640 --> 0:28:45.680
<v Speaker 2>single game. Indy one different quarter or two different quarterbacks.

0:28:45.720 --> 0:28:48.280
<v Speaker 2>Houston's had the same quarterback all year, but he gotten it.

0:28:48.360 --> 0:28:51.160
<v Speaker 2>The reason they're not tied for first potentially because he

0:28:51.200 --> 0:28:53.520
<v Speaker 2>got knocked out this week, got concussed and he might

0:28:53.560 --> 0:28:56.160
<v Speaker 2>miss a game. The Titans have had to change quarterbacks.

0:28:56.480 --> 0:28:59.680
<v Speaker 2>Go to the AFC West. The Chiefs the same quarterback

0:28:59.680 --> 0:29:02.040
<v Speaker 2>all year. There in first place. The Broncos the same

0:29:02.120 --> 0:29:05.040
<v Speaker 2>quarterback all year. They're in second place. The Chargers they

0:29:05.120 --> 0:29:08.280
<v Speaker 2>just lost their quarterback. The Raiders had to change their quarterback.

0:29:08.360 --> 0:29:11.720
<v Speaker 2>Go to the NFC East. Dak and Jalen have been

0:29:11.760 --> 0:29:15.840
<v Speaker 2>there every single game. The Giants lost their quarterback. Washington.

0:29:16.440 --> 0:29:19.160
<v Speaker 2>They've had the same quarterback, but he's been bad. Sam

0:29:19.160 --> 0:29:21.200
<v Speaker 2>howl is one of the only guys who I think

0:29:21.280 --> 0:29:23.560
<v Speaker 2>has played every game. And the teams in last place.

0:29:23.600 --> 0:29:26.840
<v Speaker 2>Go to Detroit. Golf's been there all year. After that,

0:29:27.840 --> 0:29:31.040
<v Speaker 2>you have the Vikings that Kirk Cousins got hurt, Green

0:29:31.120 --> 0:29:33.480
<v Speaker 2>Bay they've had Jordan Love all year, to be fair,

0:29:33.800 --> 0:29:37.040
<v Speaker 2>and then the Bears they obviously fields miss timed. Go

0:29:37.120 --> 0:29:40.880
<v Speaker 2>to Tampa. Baker in first place. He's played every game

0:29:40.920 --> 0:29:43.800
<v Speaker 2>this year. Atlanta's had to change quarterbacks. New Orleans had

0:29:43.800 --> 0:29:47.440
<v Speaker 2>to change quarterbacks. Carolina desperately wishes they could change quarterbacks,

0:29:47.520 --> 0:29:50.160
<v Speaker 2>but they can't, say draft him number one overall. Go

0:29:50.200 --> 0:29:54.360
<v Speaker 2>to the NFC West. Brock Birdy has played every game

0:29:54.400 --> 0:29:58.840
<v Speaker 2>this year. The Rams second place, Stafford miss time g

0:29:59.000 --> 0:30:01.239
<v Speaker 2>and o miss time this week. The Cardinals have had

0:30:01.320 --> 0:30:06.240
<v Speaker 2>multiple different quarterbacks, so we spend a lot of time analyzing,

0:30:06.360 --> 0:30:10.520
<v Speaker 2>breaking down, figuring out the NFL some of it is,

0:30:10.520 --> 0:30:13.240
<v Speaker 2>is your quarterback upright all year, you're gonna be okay

0:30:13.960 --> 0:30:17.800
<v Speaker 2>unless he's Bryce Young. Evidently, like if your quarterback's upright

0:30:17.840 --> 0:30:21.520
<v Speaker 2>all year, you're just going to be in the mix.

0:30:22.360 --> 0:30:26.800
<v Speaker 2>Every single first place team is among the handful of

0:30:26.880 --> 0:30:30.360
<v Speaker 2>teams that have had the same quarterback all year, and

0:30:30.560 --> 0:30:35.239
<v Speaker 2>most second place teams are in a similar boat. It's

0:30:35.240 --> 0:30:38.200
<v Speaker 2>as simple as that. And I know, and that is why,

0:30:38.360 --> 0:30:41.240
<v Speaker 2>as much as we might hate it, the NBA is

0:30:41.440 --> 0:30:43.440
<v Speaker 2>or the NFL is going to go above and beyond

0:30:43.480 --> 0:30:47.240
<v Speaker 2>to try to protect quarterbacks because it can just wreck

0:30:47.320 --> 0:30:50.640
<v Speaker 2>your entire season. If these guys have to miss time.

0:30:51.760 --> 0:30:55.200
<v Speaker 2>That's pretty shocking, isn't it. Demonse just how the standings

0:30:55.240 --> 0:30:59.640
<v Speaker 2>line up exactly with a your quarterback available.

0:30:59.640 --> 0:31:02.120
<v Speaker 3>The whole Bears might have been helped out a little

0:31:02.160 --> 0:31:05.080
<v Speaker 3>bit by Justin Fields being out for a couple of games.

0:31:05.720 --> 0:31:09.760
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I will say up and up now correct some

0:31:09.800 --> 0:31:13.640
<v Speaker 2>of these teams, no doubt about it, like with or without.

0:31:13.680 --> 0:31:16.280
<v Speaker 2>And you know, the Patriots, Mac didn't get hurt. He

0:31:16.400 --> 0:31:17.080
<v Speaker 2>just got bench.

0:31:17.640 --> 0:31:21.680
<v Speaker 3>But you know, so there's no it was very consistent

0:31:21.760 --> 0:31:23.640
<v Speaker 3>throughout the throughout the divisions though.

0:31:23.640 --> 0:31:27.080
<v Speaker 2>Every division top to bottom. It's just quarterback health bass.

0:31:26.920 --> 0:31:30.880
<v Speaker 3>So I got oh, So one quick question. Do you

0:31:30.920 --> 0:31:33.680
<v Speaker 3>think that the UH Do you think that the travel

0:31:33.760 --> 0:31:35.880
<v Speaker 3>will make the injury problem a little bit worse?

0:31:37.120 --> 0:31:38.840
<v Speaker 2>No, I don't know why it would, And you get

0:31:38.880 --> 0:31:45.200
<v Speaker 2>the again. So what I'm proposing is that you you're

0:31:45.240 --> 0:31:51.280
<v Speaker 2>if you did my NFL in international week Monday through Sunday,

0:31:51.360 --> 0:32:00.520
<v Speaker 2>if your games are Monday through Friday, basically your extra

0:32:00.680 --> 0:32:05.800
<v Speaker 2>bye week comes the week before, so you would have

0:32:05.880 --> 0:32:07.520
<v Speaker 2>almost two you know what I mean, you would have

0:32:08.080 --> 0:32:11.280
<v Speaker 2>you wouldn't be playing the previous week, and so you

0:32:11.320 --> 0:32:14.440
<v Speaker 2>would have full time to prepare and get acclimated. And

0:32:14.480 --> 0:32:18.720
<v Speaker 2>if your game is Friday through Sunday, your extra bye

0:32:18.760 --> 0:32:22.120
<v Speaker 2>week would come after, so you you know, does that

0:32:22.200 --> 0:32:25.600
<v Speaker 2>make sense? So you would have time to wrest recuperate after,

0:32:26.120 --> 0:32:31.480
<v Speaker 2>and an extra bye week in and of itself would

0:32:32.080 --> 0:32:36.640
<v Speaker 2>naturally make UH. I think lower the injury rate. I

0:32:36.640 --> 0:32:40.080
<v Speaker 2>don't think guys are more injured in international games. Guys

0:32:40.120 --> 0:32:43.560
<v Speaker 2>are more injured in short week games. And I think

0:32:43.600 --> 0:32:46.440
<v Speaker 2>this could help eliminate that. All right, let's do Lebron

0:32:46.560 --> 0:32:47.800
<v Speaker 2>versus Wimby.

0:32:48.640 --> 0:32:52.120
<v Speaker 3>All right, so one guy disappointed last night, one guy

0:32:52.200 --> 0:32:55.000
<v Speaker 3>did not. The guy that didn't disappoint disappoint by the

0:32:55.080 --> 0:32:59.320
<v Speaker 3>name of Victor. When Banyama, he dropped thirty and fourteen,

0:33:00.160 --> 0:33:05.200
<v Speaker 3>but in the spurs eighteenth straight loss, unfortunately. But Lebron James,

0:33:05.200 --> 0:33:07.920
<v Speaker 3>on the other hand, sat out. He didn't play yesterday.

0:33:07.920 --> 0:33:10.320
<v Speaker 3>He didn't he didn't play in the game. Do you

0:33:10.360 --> 0:33:12.920
<v Speaker 3>have any I know you're probably going to say that

0:33:13.000 --> 0:33:15.520
<v Speaker 3>he just won the nd season tournament, the first ever,

0:33:15.680 --> 0:33:18.040
<v Speaker 3>he deserves a sit. But do you find do you

0:33:18.080 --> 0:33:20.360
<v Speaker 3>have any problem with Lebron said this game out with

0:33:20.480 --> 0:33:22.840
<v Speaker 3>it being Wimby a new generational talent.

0:33:24.120 --> 0:33:28.080
<v Speaker 2>No, I have the So I have two problems. I

0:33:28.120 --> 0:33:31.880
<v Speaker 2>have a problem that Lebron played on Tuesday against the

0:33:31.920 --> 0:33:36.400
<v Speaker 2>mass No, I'm dead. I'm totally serious. Guys. The guy's

0:33:36.400 --> 0:33:39.520
<v Speaker 2>played sixty eight thousand minutes. He's played more minutes than

0:33:39.600 --> 0:33:44.080
<v Speaker 2>Burden Magic's careers put together. He's played more minutes than

0:33:44.200 --> 0:33:50.640
<v Speaker 2>Michael and Giannis's careers put together. Like the My real

0:33:50.720 --> 0:33:54.920
<v Speaker 2>issue is this the NBA, I believe should have had

0:33:54.960 --> 0:34:01.720
<v Speaker 2>the foresight to have a good inclination that Lebron might

0:34:02.560 --> 0:34:05.840
<v Speaker 2>take the n Season Tournament super seriously because the NBA

0:34:06.040 --> 0:34:09.000
<v Speaker 2>wanted him to and wanted him to be the ambassador

0:34:09.040 --> 0:34:14.560
<v Speaker 2>for it, and then putting two Marquee games right after

0:34:14.600 --> 0:34:17.560
<v Speaker 2>the N Season Tournament on the Lakers schedule was idiotic

0:34:18.000 --> 0:34:22.239
<v Speaker 2>having Lebron versus Luca be a national TV game. And

0:34:22.320 --> 0:34:24.160
<v Speaker 2>I know you could be like, well, what if the

0:34:24.239 --> 0:34:26.879
<v Speaker 2>Lakers don't make the N Season Tournament finals, then great,

0:34:26.920 --> 0:34:29.959
<v Speaker 2>you can still play Lebron versus Luke on national TV

0:34:30.080 --> 0:34:34.160
<v Speaker 2>anytime all year, and Lebron versus Wimby coming right after that.

0:34:34.640 --> 0:34:39.719
<v Speaker 2>It's just poor planet, Like the if there was ever

0:34:39.800 --> 0:34:42.120
<v Speaker 2>going to be a time of the year that your

0:34:42.239 --> 0:34:45.040
<v Speaker 2>oldest player in the league who is still your biggest

0:34:45.160 --> 0:34:49.120
<v Speaker 2>draw was going to play playoff minutes, it was going

0:34:49.200 --> 0:34:52.239
<v Speaker 2>to be in the N Season Tournament, And so then

0:34:52.480 --> 0:34:56.360
<v Speaker 2>putting I said last week on TV that if the

0:34:56.440 --> 0:34:59.960
<v Speaker 2>Lakers make the N Season Tournament Final, Lebron should take

0:35:00.160 --> 0:35:04.200
<v Speaker 2>the following week off, and I totally meant it like

0:35:04.280 --> 0:35:07.400
<v Speaker 2>it is an extra game. The N Season Tournament Final

0:35:07.480 --> 0:35:09.840
<v Speaker 2>is an eighty third game of the year for the Lakers,

0:35:10.080 --> 0:35:13.200
<v Speaker 2>but Also, Lebron was going to go full playoff mode

0:35:13.480 --> 0:35:15.680
<v Speaker 2>because it's what the NBA wanted, and he is the

0:35:15.719 --> 0:35:19.319
<v Speaker 2>best ambassador of the league's ever had and it and

0:35:20.120 --> 0:35:24.560
<v Speaker 2>give it real playoff intensity. And so no, it's a

0:35:24.600 --> 0:35:27.879
<v Speaker 2>shame that he didn't play against the Spurs. But it's

0:35:27.920 --> 0:35:32.280
<v Speaker 2>also a shame that the Lakers correctly assumed we won't

0:35:32.360 --> 0:35:35.400
<v Speaker 2>we stink without Lebron, but we won't need him against

0:35:35.400 --> 0:35:38.480
<v Speaker 2>the Spurs. And now that was an eighteen point game

0:35:38.560 --> 0:35:41.040
<v Speaker 2>going into the fourth quarter. It was a twelve point

0:35:41.080 --> 0:35:43.880
<v Speaker 2>game with four minutes left. The Spurs had a furious

0:35:43.960 --> 0:35:46.520
<v Speaker 2>rally at the end and ended up making a game

0:35:46.560 --> 0:35:50.120
<v Speaker 2>out of it. Ad was excellent and overcame it and

0:35:50.160 --> 0:35:52.680
<v Speaker 2>the Lakers were able to escape with a win. But

0:35:52.880 --> 0:35:57.560
<v Speaker 2>I my bigger issue is because Wimby was excellent last

0:35:57.640 --> 0:36:01.279
<v Speaker 2>night and he's been playing really well of late. You

0:36:01.440 --> 0:36:05.719
<v Speaker 2>cannot convince me it is good for the development of

0:36:05.960 --> 0:36:12.000
<v Speaker 2>Victor Windbnyama. For this team that started three and two

0:36:12.120 --> 0:36:16.279
<v Speaker 2>to now be three and twenty that they have, for

0:36:16.320 --> 0:36:21.080
<v Speaker 2>this team to be so punting on any type of competitiveness,

0:36:21.920 --> 0:36:25.680
<v Speaker 2>it's not good for his development. Flatlet and Victor has

0:36:25.719 --> 0:36:27.759
<v Speaker 2>been better than I thought he would be on the

0:36:27.800 --> 0:36:30.439
<v Speaker 2>offensive end. I thought he'd be excellent to be coming

0:36:30.520 --> 0:36:32.640
<v Speaker 2>on the defensive end, and he's doing that. But they

0:36:32.680 --> 0:36:35.920
<v Speaker 2>don't have a point guard and for them to just

0:36:36.000 --> 0:36:39.640
<v Speaker 2>be totally uncompetitive, and also it's embarrassing for the league.

0:36:39.400 --> 0:36:41.560
<v Speaker 3>Demon sake, no point guard me.

0:36:43.200 --> 0:36:47.759
<v Speaker 2>I don't understand it, but it is embarrassing for the

0:36:47.840 --> 0:36:51.040
<v Speaker 2>league that the Spurs are on an eighteen game losing streak,

0:36:51.120 --> 0:36:54.319
<v Speaker 2>and it is not the longest active losing streak. That

0:36:54.440 --> 0:36:57.600
<v Speaker 2>the Pistons have lost twenty one in a row. And

0:36:58.400 --> 0:37:04.319
<v Speaker 2>you should not have three expansion caliber teams in a

0:37:04.400 --> 0:37:08.680
<v Speaker 2>non expansion year. But the Wizards, the Pistons, and the

0:37:08.719 --> 0:37:16.799
<v Speaker 2>Spurs demanse are a combined eight and sixty two. The Wizards,

0:37:16.840 --> 0:37:20.759
<v Speaker 2>the Pistons, and the Spurs are a combined eight and

0:37:20.880 --> 0:37:25.239
<v Speaker 2>sixty two, and then Portland, Memphis and Charlotte are not

0:37:25.840 --> 0:37:29.439
<v Speaker 2>that much better. Memphis, hopefully when John gets back, they'll

0:37:29.480 --> 0:37:31.799
<v Speaker 2>be competitive, but they're probably gonna be out of it.

0:37:32.320 --> 0:37:35.360
<v Speaker 2>Like That's the other underrated storyline of this NBA season

0:37:35.920 --> 0:37:39.680
<v Speaker 2>is Jos suspension. I think cost the Grizzlies the whole year.

0:37:40.280 --> 0:37:46.160
<v Speaker 2>They're just cooked. The Grizzlies are six and seventeen, so

0:37:46.280 --> 0:37:49.960
<v Speaker 2>John's got two games left on the suspension. Those games

0:37:49.960 --> 0:37:54.880
<v Speaker 2>are against Houston and then at OKC, So their best

0:37:54.960 --> 0:37:58.680
<v Speaker 2>case scenario is they're seven and eighteen when he comes back.

0:37:58.960 --> 0:38:02.120
<v Speaker 2>They're probably gonna be six and nineteen when he comes back,

0:38:02.400 --> 0:38:05.360
<v Speaker 2>and then his first game back is a back to

0:38:05.440 --> 0:38:07.600
<v Speaker 2>back for his teammates, not for him. He'll be as

0:38:07.640 --> 0:38:11.000
<v Speaker 2>fresh as can be in New Orleans and then they

0:38:11.040 --> 0:38:15.000
<v Speaker 2>host Indiana. It is absolutely on the board that the

0:38:15.040 --> 0:38:18.279
<v Speaker 2>Grizzlies start this season seven and twenty or six and

0:38:18.360 --> 0:38:22.320
<v Speaker 2>twenty one, and they're just dead. I mean six and seventeen.

0:38:22.360 --> 0:38:25.520
<v Speaker 2>They're probably dead. And it's just a shame, all right.

0:38:25.600 --> 0:38:30.040
<v Speaker 2>Our gambling show where I got absolutely, unequivocally screwed last week,

0:38:30.239 --> 0:38:33.120
<v Speaker 2>and we'll discuss if there should be an official record adjustment.

0:38:33.280 --> 0:38:36.200
<v Speaker 2>Demande didn't get screwed except for just trusting his gut

0:38:36.239 --> 0:38:38.760
<v Speaker 2>on his teasers that screws him every week. We'll discuss

0:38:38.800 --> 0:38:46.759
<v Speaker 2>it all next what's right, I'm considering airbnbing out your

0:38:46.800 --> 0:38:50.960
<v Speaker 2>sister's room, not your baby sister, your older sister, even

0:38:50.960 --> 0:38:54.839
<v Speaker 2>though she's here. She's back for Christmas. Uh and that's

0:38:54.920 --> 0:38:59.920
<v Speaker 2>because uh, you know, jet lag or whatever. She was

0:39:00.000 --> 0:39:04.040
<v Speaker 2>sposed to be our special guest, but she overslept. So

0:39:05.000 --> 0:39:06.439
<v Speaker 2>episode two hundred.

0:39:06.280 --> 0:39:11.080
<v Speaker 3>No scoop, no dear, that was a coin flip.

0:39:12.320 --> 0:39:17.879
<v Speaker 2>What do you mean it's eleven fifteen here? She I mean,

0:39:17.960 --> 0:39:22.280
<v Speaker 2>it's not I understand, and where you are it's early

0:39:22.360 --> 0:39:27.320
<v Speaker 2>in the morning. It's eleven fifteen here. I just text

0:39:27.320 --> 0:39:30.000
<v Speaker 2>her during the break a sad emoji and she text

0:39:30.080 --> 0:39:32.960
<v Speaker 2>me back, you should have woken me up. I was like, well,

0:39:32.960 --> 0:39:35.880
<v Speaker 2>I tried, but your phone went straight to voicemail, Like,

0:39:35.960 --> 0:39:38.719
<v Speaker 2>give me a break, all right, speaking of things, I

0:39:38.760 --> 0:39:43.480
<v Speaker 2>need a break on. I got really, really screwed last week,

0:39:43.960 --> 0:39:48.640
<v Speaker 2>so let's discuss it. Last week. The record one three

0:39:49.080 --> 0:39:52.279
<v Speaker 2>and one. So the Rams plus seven and a half

0:39:52.400 --> 0:39:56.200
<v Speaker 2>at Baltimore never a doubt. That was a winner. That

0:39:56.400 --> 0:39:57.919
<v Speaker 2>was a great And by the way, now I'm four

0:39:57.920 --> 0:40:01.080
<v Speaker 2>games under five hundred on the season. Houston minus three

0:40:01.120 --> 0:40:04.840
<v Speaker 2>and a half against the Jets. I was squeamish about

0:40:04.880 --> 0:40:06.920
<v Speaker 2>it once because we knew Tank Dell was out when

0:40:06.960 --> 0:40:11.760
<v Speaker 2>I made the bet. Once Nico Collins also went down,

0:40:12.160 --> 0:40:14.600
<v Speaker 2>I thought I might be in trouble. But when CJ.

0:40:14.800 --> 0:40:17.120
<v Speaker 2>Stroud gets knocked out of the game with a concussion.

0:40:17.640 --> 0:40:20.560
<v Speaker 2>I am just ruined, with no chance about it.

0:40:20.600 --> 0:40:20.759
<v Speaker 3>Now.

0:40:20.800 --> 0:40:23.520
<v Speaker 2>Where the Texans got to feel sick is they made

0:40:23.719 --> 0:40:26.560
<v Speaker 2>Zach Wilson look like a real quarterback. But that's a

0:40:26.600 --> 0:40:28.480
<v Speaker 2>loss that was I was on the square side of that.

0:40:28.600 --> 0:40:32.480
<v Speaker 2>I'll deal with it. The Raiders plus three against Minnesota.

0:40:32.760 --> 0:40:36.120
<v Speaker 2>There's two ways to look at this. One is I

0:40:36.200 --> 0:40:38.600
<v Speaker 2>bet on a team that scored zero points and got

0:40:38.600 --> 0:40:42.520
<v Speaker 2>a push. That is a little fortunate. The other way

0:40:42.520 --> 0:40:44.719
<v Speaker 2>to look on at it is I bet on a

0:40:44.760 --> 0:40:50.960
<v Speaker 2>team getting three points, they allowed three total points, and

0:40:51.040 --> 0:40:53.960
<v Speaker 2>I didn't get a win. And so like we have

0:40:54.040 --> 0:40:59.000
<v Speaker 2>had him back to back weeks, almost unprecedented gambling moments

0:40:59.160 --> 0:41:02.840
<v Speaker 2>because we had a Patriots Chargers game where the Chargers

0:41:03.200 --> 0:41:08.640
<v Speaker 2>were favored by five and a half, scored six and covered.

0:41:09.360 --> 0:41:14.439
<v Speaker 2>And we had Vikings Raiders game where the Vikings were

0:41:14.520 --> 0:41:19.000
<v Speaker 2>favored by three, scored three and got a push out

0:41:19.040 --> 0:41:21.160
<v Speaker 2>of it. So I don't know if I got lucky

0:41:21.320 --> 0:41:25.600
<v Speaker 2>or unlucky there. But then the last two Chiefs minus

0:41:25.600 --> 0:41:31.279
<v Speaker 2>one and a half against Buffalo, I deserved to win.

0:41:33.400 --> 0:41:35.759
<v Speaker 2>It was covering when the stadium was going crazy and

0:41:35.840 --> 0:41:38.720
<v Speaker 2>KADARISONI had scored a touchdown to go up threes, penning

0:41:38.760 --> 0:41:42.320
<v Speaker 2>four with a minute left. I'll tell you for goddamn

0:41:42.360 --> 0:41:47.160
<v Speaker 2>sure it was covering. Then, yeah, I mean, I'll tell

0:41:47.160 --> 0:41:53.000
<v Speaker 2>you it was certainly covering in that moment. He's smart ass.

0:41:53.640 --> 0:41:58.839
<v Speaker 2>But I take the loss there, And unlike watching Chiefs, unfortunately,

0:41:58.920 --> 0:42:02.359
<v Speaker 2>unlike watching Chiefs Packers at Lil Wayne's house in La

0:42:03.080 --> 0:42:06.560
<v Speaker 2>where I can't, you know, live bet the Chiefs at

0:42:06.560 --> 0:42:09.920
<v Speaker 2>every moment, I watch Chiefs Bills all alone in my

0:42:10.040 --> 0:42:12.520
<v Speaker 2>own house, and I could live bet them at any

0:42:12.520 --> 0:42:15.640
<v Speaker 2>given moment. And that didn't go great. And then there's

0:42:15.680 --> 0:42:22.600
<v Speaker 2>the one that really sticks in my craw Seattle plus

0:42:22.640 --> 0:42:25.799
<v Speaker 2>ten and a half at the Niners. Then I gave

0:42:25.880 --> 0:42:29.280
<v Speaker 2>a brilliant explanation as to why I was taking Seattle.

0:42:29.960 --> 0:42:32.320
<v Speaker 2>They were gonna be able to keep it close, adjacent,

0:42:32.440 --> 0:42:36.319
<v Speaker 2>it's a divisional game, all of these things. And then

0:42:37.800 --> 0:42:43.680
<v Speaker 2>Geno Smith gets ruled out. After my pick is locked,

0:42:44.360 --> 0:42:47.359
<v Speaker 2>I have to deal with Drew Locke at quarterback. They

0:42:47.400 --> 0:42:50.600
<v Speaker 2>still keep it close. The line moves to fourteen and

0:42:50.680 --> 0:42:55.440
<v Speaker 2>a half, they lose by thirteen, and I get a loss.

0:42:56.000 --> 0:42:56.720
<v Speaker 3>A loss.

0:42:58.280 --> 0:43:03.520
<v Speaker 2>Now, some people would say no, give yourself the closing line,

0:43:03.560 --> 0:43:05.480
<v Speaker 2>which was fourteen and a half and called to win.

0:43:05.640 --> 0:43:10.279
<v Speaker 2>I will not say that I will recover, despite the

0:43:10.320 --> 0:43:14.640
<v Speaker 2>wild unfairness of it. In my heart all no that

0:43:14.760 --> 0:43:19.000
<v Speaker 2>in a more just world, the Raiders cover the plus

0:43:19.040 --> 0:43:23.120
<v Speaker 2>three outright, since they only allowed three points. I get

0:43:23.160 --> 0:43:27.920
<v Speaker 2>the Seahawks plus the closing line, and the Chiefs don't

0:43:28.000 --> 0:43:32.200
<v Speaker 2>have uh, you know, the NFL equivalent of being thrown

0:43:32.200 --> 0:43:34.520
<v Speaker 2>in jail for going thirty six and a thirty five

0:43:34.880 --> 0:43:37.560
<v Speaker 2>and I have a four and one week and instead

0:43:37.560 --> 0:43:40.640
<v Speaker 2>of being thirty two thirty six and one, I am

0:43:41.239 --> 0:43:45.280
<v Speaker 2>thirty five. I'm sorry. Instead of being thirty two, thirty

0:43:45.320 --> 0:43:49.279
<v Speaker 2>six and two, I am thirty five, thirty four and

0:43:49.400 --> 0:43:52.600
<v Speaker 2>one and back over five hundred. But I'll take the lawsuits.

0:43:53.280 --> 0:43:54.280
<v Speaker 3>Let's get to this seat.

0:43:55.040 --> 0:43:58.680
<v Speaker 2>But oh shut up, So let's get the Let's get

0:43:58.680 --> 0:43:59.280
<v Speaker 2>to the tweets.

0:44:00.960 --> 0:44:03.920
<v Speaker 3>You've got Tampa Bay plus three and a half at

0:44:03.960 --> 0:44:04.480
<v Speaker 3>Green Bay.

0:44:06.239 --> 0:44:09.680
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I just this one's very very simple. I think

0:44:09.760 --> 0:44:13.160
<v Speaker 2>Tampa Bay can win this game, outright. I certainly don't

0:44:13.160 --> 0:44:15.879
<v Speaker 2>think the Packers are blowing them out. The Bucks play

0:44:16.000 --> 0:44:18.680
<v Speaker 2>close games. I like al Baker's playing. He has been

0:44:18.760 --> 0:44:23.120
<v Speaker 2>incredibly clutched lately this season really, with these late game drives,

0:44:23.160 --> 0:44:27.200
<v Speaker 2>whether they're for backdoor covers or for wins. And Green

0:44:27.320 --> 0:44:31.279
<v Speaker 2>Bay is on a shorter week because of the Monday night,

0:44:31.640 --> 0:44:34.719
<v Speaker 2>and to me, it's very concerning losing the game they

0:44:34.719 --> 0:44:38.560
<v Speaker 2>did against the New York Giants for all those reasons.

0:44:38.640 --> 0:44:41.280
<v Speaker 2>The Bucks plus three this is to be a twenty

0:44:41.320 --> 0:44:45.319
<v Speaker 2>to seventeen game in either direction, and I'm getting a

0:44:45.400 --> 0:44:47.440
<v Speaker 2>full not only a full three, a full three and

0:44:47.480 --> 0:44:49.439
<v Speaker 2>a half. I'll take the Bucks plus three and a half.

0:44:49.520 --> 0:44:53.840
<v Speaker 3>Next next, you got the Giants plus six at New Orleans.

0:44:55.160 --> 0:44:59.239
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, Dennis Allen Derek Carr combo should not be six

0:44:59.280 --> 0:45:03.280
<v Speaker 2>point favorites anyone except for maybe Carolina. And I know, listen,

0:45:03.360 --> 0:45:06.960
<v Speaker 2>I'm not buying in to the Giants hype, but Dable

0:45:07.120 --> 0:45:11.120
<v Speaker 2>versus Dennis Allen is a massive coaching mismatch. The Giants'

0:45:11.120 --> 0:45:13.960
<v Speaker 2>biggest weakness is the quarterback spot, but at least his

0:45:14.040 --> 0:45:17.560
<v Speaker 2>teammates like him, while the Saints seem to be rebelling

0:45:17.600 --> 0:45:22.200
<v Speaker 2>against Derek Carr and I'm getting six points, Like, why

0:45:22.960 --> 0:45:26.560
<v Speaker 2>would I think the Saints are gonna beat anyone? Buy

0:45:26.640 --> 0:45:30.160
<v Speaker 2>a touchdown? Dennis Allen at home against the spread is

0:45:30.320 --> 0:45:34.719
<v Speaker 2>historically bad, and I just I flatly don't buy the

0:45:34.840 --> 0:45:39.480
<v Speaker 2>idea that this Saints team is going to take care

0:45:39.520 --> 0:45:42.960
<v Speaker 2>of business in a way where they win by multiple scores.

0:45:43.320 --> 0:45:45.919
<v Speaker 2>The Giants, on the other hand, Dable's gonna have them

0:45:45.960 --> 0:45:49.560
<v Speaker 2>convinced we win this game, we could make the playoffs.

0:45:49.600 --> 0:45:52.880
<v Speaker 2>Now they can't and they won't, but that's gonna be

0:45:52.920 --> 0:45:55.600
<v Speaker 2>their mind frame going into the game. New Orleans does

0:45:55.640 --> 0:45:58.600
<v Speaker 2>not deserved to be a six point favorite over anyone

0:45:58.640 --> 0:46:01.400
<v Speaker 2>in the league except for Carol. So I'll take the

0:46:01.480 --> 0:46:06.080
<v Speaker 2>six points and think the Giants might be able to

0:46:06.120 --> 0:46:06.759
<v Speaker 2>win out right.

0:46:06.840 --> 0:46:10.839
<v Speaker 3>Next Vegas should mess up, all right, Miami minus eight

0:46:10.840 --> 0:46:13.440
<v Speaker 3>and a half versus the Giant the Jets.

0:46:13.480 --> 0:46:17.480
<v Speaker 2>Sorry, all right, we just saw this game played. I

0:46:17.560 --> 0:46:20.279
<v Speaker 2>understand it was against Tim Boyle, but we just saw

0:46:20.400 --> 0:46:23.880
<v Speaker 2>on Black Friday Miami run rough shot over the Jets

0:46:24.239 --> 0:46:28.360
<v Speaker 2>in New York. Now I'm laying less than ten points

0:46:28.400 --> 0:46:33.760
<v Speaker 2>for a Dolphins team that unequivocally must win this game.

0:46:34.520 --> 0:46:40.200
<v Speaker 2>The Dolphins after this game, they have Cowboys, Ravens Bills

0:46:40.520 --> 0:46:43.480
<v Speaker 2>to end the season. If the Dolphins want to have

0:46:43.600 --> 0:46:47.040
<v Speaker 2>any breathing room, if they want to make sure that

0:46:47.040 --> 0:46:50.080
<v Speaker 2>that Week eighteen game against a Buffalo team that already

0:46:50.080 --> 0:46:56.239
<v Speaker 2>crushed them is not potentially for the division. Then they

0:46:56.680 --> 0:47:01.919
<v Speaker 2>absolutely need to win this game. Also in Miami, when

0:47:02.040 --> 0:47:05.080
<v Speaker 2>they win, I don't want to say they always blow

0:47:05.160 --> 0:47:08.120
<v Speaker 2>people out, because week one of the season they were

0:47:08.440 --> 0:47:11.480
<v Speaker 2>they didn't. They beat the Chargers by two, and they

0:47:11.520 --> 0:47:14.719
<v Speaker 2>beat the Patriots just by seven. But since then, they

0:47:14.760 --> 0:47:18.160
<v Speaker 2>beat the Broncos by fifty, they beat the Giants by fifteen,

0:47:18.480 --> 0:47:20.960
<v Speaker 2>they beat the Panthers by twenty one, they beat the

0:47:20.960 --> 0:47:24.279
<v Speaker 2>Patriots by fourteen, they beat the Jets by twenty one,

0:47:24.520 --> 0:47:27.479
<v Speaker 2>they beat the Commanders by thirty. That yes, they only

0:47:27.520 --> 0:47:30.200
<v Speaker 2>beat the Raiders by seven in what was kind of

0:47:30.200 --> 0:47:32.360
<v Speaker 2>a sloppy game for them, but that was also a

0:47:32.360 --> 0:47:34.759
<v Speaker 2>game they were up seven going into the fourth and

0:47:34.800 --> 0:47:37.919
<v Speaker 2>then nobody scored a point. They kind of stalled out there.

0:47:38.320 --> 0:47:41.560
<v Speaker 2>I just think this is a and I know that

0:47:41.680 --> 0:47:44.919
<v Speaker 2>the Jets defense has played well, but I don't think

0:47:44.960 --> 0:47:47.480
<v Speaker 2>I think Tyreek's gonna play and be fine. I know

0:47:47.560 --> 0:47:50.080
<v Speaker 2>he's listed as day to day. This is a bounce

0:47:50.160 --> 0:47:53.800
<v Speaker 2>back spot for Miami that really gave a game away

0:47:54.200 --> 0:47:57.520
<v Speaker 2>against the Titans. This feels to me like a twenty

0:47:57.600 --> 0:48:01.160
<v Speaker 2>seven to ten thirty one to ten type of game. Also,

0:48:01.680 --> 0:48:04.319
<v Speaker 2>the next time Zach Wilson plays two good games in

0:48:04.360 --> 0:48:06.479
<v Speaker 2>a row will be the first time since his last

0:48:06.520 --> 0:48:11.240
<v Speaker 2>season at BYU. This is a Miami blowout spot and

0:48:11.480 --> 0:48:13.839
<v Speaker 2>I'm only laying eight and a half. What was I'm

0:48:13.840 --> 0:48:17.320
<v Speaker 2>gonna check real quick. What was the Dolphins Jets line

0:48:17.920 --> 0:48:21.400
<v Speaker 2>the first time they played when they played in New York?

0:48:21.800 --> 0:48:25.440
<v Speaker 2>Hold on, I think I can say right here that

0:48:25.960 --> 0:48:28.560
<v Speaker 2>you're are you making that up or you know it?

0:48:29.560 --> 0:48:30.840
<v Speaker 3>No, I was making it up, But I think it

0:48:30.880 --> 0:48:31.560
<v Speaker 3>was seven and a half.

0:48:31.640 --> 0:48:35.000
<v Speaker 2>Okay, nine and a half. Maybe it opened at seven

0:48:35.000 --> 0:48:36.359
<v Speaker 2>and a half and moved to nine and a half,

0:48:36.440 --> 0:48:38.680
<v Speaker 2>who knows, Like maybe that was with the Tim Boyle News.

0:48:38.680 --> 0:48:42.200
<v Speaker 2>I'm not sure, but it was. Miami was only one

0:48:42.320 --> 0:48:47.160
<v Speaker 2>point bigger fate this I don't understand. Miami was a

0:48:47.280 --> 0:48:50.759
<v Speaker 2>nine and a half point favorite in New York. They

0:48:50.800 --> 0:48:53.560
<v Speaker 2>are now an eight and a half point favorite in Miami.

0:48:54.080 --> 0:48:57.520
<v Speaker 2>We think that much more highly of the Jets because

0:48:58.000 --> 0:49:01.680
<v Speaker 2>they played one good offensive game against the Texans, and

0:49:01.719 --> 0:49:04.760
<v Speaker 2>we think that much more lowly of the Dolphins because

0:49:04.760 --> 0:49:07.360
<v Speaker 2>they played a bad game against the Titans. That line

0:49:07.400 --> 0:49:08.879
<v Speaker 2>is way off to me. All right.

0:49:09.000 --> 0:49:13.200
<v Speaker 3>Next next you've got Dallas plus one and a half

0:49:13.320 --> 0:49:15.160
<v Speaker 3>at Buffalo.

0:49:15.320 --> 0:49:18.080
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, Dallas is a great team and Buffalo just occasionally

0:49:18.080 --> 0:49:21.239
<v Speaker 2>looks like one. Like here's the thing, what is the

0:49:21.320 --> 0:49:24.200
<v Speaker 2>last time the Bills played a great four quarters? I

0:49:24.239 --> 0:49:27.719
<v Speaker 2>can tell you Week four against Miami. Now you can

0:49:27.760 --> 0:49:30.400
<v Speaker 2>say this is an indictment on the Chiefs. The Bills

0:49:30.400 --> 0:49:32.719
<v Speaker 2>didn't play that well in that game, the cheap they

0:49:32.800 --> 0:49:35.040
<v Speaker 2>won anyway, and that you can say again that can

0:49:35.080 --> 0:49:38.120
<v Speaker 2>be a testament about the trouble the Chiefs might not

0:49:38.160 --> 0:49:41.400
<v Speaker 2>be might be in. But the Bills played awesome for

0:49:41.480 --> 0:49:43.840
<v Speaker 2>the first quarter and a half and then hung on

0:49:43.960 --> 0:49:47.600
<v Speaker 2>for dear life, butchered the clock at the end and

0:49:47.760 --> 0:49:50.279
<v Speaker 2>gave up what would have been an all time embarrassing

0:49:50.320 --> 0:49:52.400
<v Speaker 2>way to lose if not for the ref stepping in

0:49:52.480 --> 0:49:55.480
<v Speaker 2>the way of it. Dallas, on the other hand, is rolling,

0:49:55.960 --> 0:50:00.600
<v Speaker 2>and Dallas right now, in a weird way, needs the

0:50:00.640 --> 0:50:04.960
<v Speaker 2>game as much as Buffalo, because Dallas knows their only

0:50:05.239 --> 0:50:09.400
<v Speaker 2>hope of hosting any playoff games, of winning the Division,

0:50:09.719 --> 0:50:13.120
<v Speaker 2>of maybe being the one seed, is running the table,

0:50:13.480 --> 0:50:17.600
<v Speaker 2>and then they need Philly to trip up. At one

0:50:17.640 --> 0:50:21.120
<v Speaker 2>point along the way. So I'm getting points for the

0:50:21.160 --> 0:50:24.240
<v Speaker 2>better team with the quarterback playing at an MVP level

0:50:24.520 --> 0:50:28.640
<v Speaker 2>that is rolling against a Bills team that again, I

0:50:28.680 --> 0:50:32.160
<v Speaker 2>know everyone right now is all of a sudden all

0:50:32.280 --> 0:50:35.760
<v Speaker 2>over the Bills, but they the fact of the matter

0:50:35.880 --> 0:50:39.640
<v Speaker 2>is this that they didn't play well in the second

0:50:39.680 --> 0:50:42.360
<v Speaker 2>half against the Chiefs the week before, and that was

0:50:42.360 --> 0:50:44.839
<v Speaker 2>coming off a bye, with the Chiefs injured, all of

0:50:44.840 --> 0:50:47.720
<v Speaker 2>those things going in their favor. What's up to months.

0:50:47.840 --> 0:50:51.239
<v Speaker 3>I'm just now realizing that this whole time, Buffalo is

0:50:51.280 --> 0:50:56.440
<v Speaker 3>favorite in this game. That's really nicey. Yes, I was

0:50:56.480 --> 0:50:58.439
<v Speaker 3>just looking at that as minus one and a half

0:50:58.480 --> 0:51:01.120
<v Speaker 3>the entire time. But yeah, I think Vegas got this

0:51:01.160 --> 0:51:01.640
<v Speaker 3>one wrong.

0:51:01.800 --> 0:51:05.640
<v Speaker 2>Like, well, here's the thing. Vegas and the betting public

0:51:05.719 --> 0:51:09.239
<v Speaker 2>loved the Bills. They have for years. Man, Vegas and

0:51:09.280 --> 0:51:12.640
<v Speaker 2>the betting public loved the Bills. I just think they're wrong.

0:51:12.719 --> 0:51:15.560
<v Speaker 2>But the Bills played you know what, that's not fair.

0:51:15.600 --> 0:51:18.080
<v Speaker 2>The Bills played a really good game against Tim Boyle

0:51:18.120 --> 0:51:21.400
<v Speaker 2>and the Jets a few weeks ago. But since that

0:51:21.600 --> 0:51:24.759
<v Speaker 2>Dolphins game in Week four when the Bills got three

0:51:24.800 --> 0:51:28.000
<v Speaker 2>to one, here's what they've done. Lost to the Jags

0:51:28.000 --> 0:51:32.279
<v Speaker 2>in London. Escaped against the Giants. Remember that game where

0:51:32.320 --> 0:51:34.239
<v Speaker 2>the Giants got the ball down to the five yard

0:51:34.320 --> 0:51:36.560
<v Speaker 2>line at the end and then they didn't call the

0:51:36.800 --> 0:51:42.360
<v Speaker 2>DPI or whatever. Lost to the Patriots. Escaped against the Bucks.

0:51:42.640 --> 0:51:45.360
<v Speaker 2>That's the game the Bills had sewn up. The Baker

0:51:45.440 --> 0:51:47.600
<v Speaker 2>made a late comeback and then he threw the Hail

0:51:47.640 --> 0:51:51.040
<v Speaker 2>Mary that Godwin didn't turn around on. Lost to the Bengals,

0:51:51.320 --> 0:51:54.520
<v Speaker 2>had a mortifying loss to the Broncos. Played great against

0:51:54.520 --> 0:51:56.799
<v Speaker 2>the Jets to their credit, found a way to lose

0:51:56.840 --> 0:52:00.920
<v Speaker 2>against the Eagles, and then escaped against the Chiefs. Stat

0:52:02.320 --> 0:52:06.359
<v Speaker 2>in the entire McDermott Josh Allen era, as long as

0:52:06.360 --> 0:52:09.200
<v Speaker 2>we acknowledge the Chiefs and the Cowboys are both gonna

0:52:09.239 --> 0:52:12.880
<v Speaker 2>go to the playoffs, this stat applies. The Buffalo Bills

0:52:13.080 --> 0:52:21.839
<v Speaker 2>have never won games in consecutive weeks against playoff teams. Never. Now,

0:52:21.880 --> 0:52:24.000
<v Speaker 2>some of that is you don't always play playoff teams,

0:52:24.040 --> 0:52:25.680
<v Speaker 2>and back to back weeks, you haven't had like, you know,

0:52:25.760 --> 0:52:29.160
<v Speaker 2>thirty opportunities, but it's never happened. I'll take the Cowboys

0:52:29.160 --> 0:52:30.760
<v Speaker 2>to win outright, and last one.

0:52:31.760 --> 0:52:35.279
<v Speaker 3>You got Jacksonville plus three and a half versus Baltimore.

0:52:37.080 --> 0:52:40.440
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I mean the Jags are at home and I'm

0:52:40.440 --> 0:52:42.399
<v Speaker 2>getting three and a half, and they need the game,

0:52:43.360 --> 0:52:45.880
<v Speaker 2>and Trevor will be healthier than he was last week.

0:52:46.840 --> 0:52:50.759
<v Speaker 2>And Baltimore, even if they're dominating the game, Baltimore will

0:52:50.840 --> 0:52:55.080
<v Speaker 2>let people back into games. Now. Lamar played awesome against

0:52:55.120 --> 0:52:58.200
<v Speaker 2>the Rams. Awesome against the Rams. I give him credit.

0:52:58.239 --> 0:53:00.960
<v Speaker 2>The defense didn't, but he did. But I am getting

0:53:01.640 --> 0:53:04.440
<v Speaker 2>I think I think Baltimore is a little bit better

0:53:04.480 --> 0:53:07.240
<v Speaker 2>than Jacksonville. I do think they are the better team,

0:53:07.560 --> 0:53:11.239
<v Speaker 2>but they're on the road and they're laying three and

0:53:11.280 --> 0:53:14.960
<v Speaker 2>a half. The Jags gotta have the game. The Ravens

0:53:15.000 --> 0:53:19.200
<v Speaker 2>do have a game to play with in the thanks

0:53:19.239 --> 0:53:22.360
<v Speaker 2>to what's happened to Miami and Kansas City. I like

0:53:22.480 --> 0:53:25.400
<v Speaker 2>Jacksonville on the spot. I think Jacksonville can win the

0:53:25.440 --> 0:53:28.160
<v Speaker 2>game outright if they are If I'm wrong on that

0:53:28.239 --> 0:53:30.640
<v Speaker 2>and the Ravens are up big late, the Ravens like

0:53:30.680 --> 0:53:33.400
<v Speaker 2>to let teams back into it. I'm getting three and

0:53:33.440 --> 0:53:36.080
<v Speaker 2>a half. I'll take the Jags plus three and a half.

0:53:36.200 --> 0:53:39.239
<v Speaker 2>Think Trevor will be a little bit healthier, and it's December,

0:53:39.560 --> 0:53:42.440
<v Speaker 2>so I imagine we'll get the news report around, you know,

0:53:43.040 --> 0:53:45.440
<v Speaker 2>like we did around this time last week, that Lamar

0:53:45.640 --> 0:53:48.480
<v Speaker 2>has the flu again, and so he might not you know,

0:53:48.520 --> 0:53:50.279
<v Speaker 2>he might have to miss a day of practice because

0:53:50.280 --> 0:53:53.440
<v Speaker 2>he gets his you know, annual cold, because Lamar's immune

0:53:53.480 --> 0:53:55.919
<v Speaker 2>system is the worst of any pro athlete I've ever

0:53:55.920 --> 0:53:59.200
<v Speaker 2>seen in my life. So there's my picks for the week.

0:54:00.560 --> 0:54:02.920
<v Speaker 2>Look it up, Demanda. This dude gets sick more than

0:54:02.920 --> 0:54:05.279
<v Speaker 2>anyone I've ever seen in my life. Tampa plus three

0:54:05.320 --> 0:54:07.680
<v Speaker 2>and a half, Giants plus six, Miami minus eight and

0:54:07.719 --> 0:54:10.120
<v Speaker 2>a half, Dallas plus one and a half, Jacksonville plus

0:54:10.120 --> 0:54:12.200
<v Speaker 2>three and a half, taking four dogs and one favorite

0:54:12.200 --> 0:54:15.080
<v Speaker 2>that I expect to absolutely roll. We don't. I don't

0:54:15.080 --> 0:54:17.399
<v Speaker 2>even know that. We have to recap your teaser from

0:54:17.480 --> 0:54:21.200
<v Speaker 2>last week. It was bad in every way imaginable. You

0:54:21.360 --> 0:54:23.680
<v Speaker 2>tease across the zero I told you not to. You

0:54:23.800 --> 0:54:27.160
<v Speaker 2>lost on it. You tease the Niners minus four. I guess,

0:54:27.239 --> 0:54:31.200
<v Speaker 2>good job, and dat and Philly. After ruining you in

0:54:31.239 --> 0:54:34.840
<v Speaker 2>a teaser the exact same format the previous week, ruined

0:54:34.880 --> 0:54:37.200
<v Speaker 2>you in a teaser that format the in the exact

0:54:37.239 --> 0:54:39.279
<v Speaker 2>same way the next week. So what are we doing

0:54:39.320 --> 0:54:39.759
<v Speaker 2>this week?

0:54:41.080 --> 0:54:44.000
<v Speaker 3>All right? So this is the two hundredth episode, obviously,

0:54:45.000 --> 0:54:47.880
<v Speaker 3>So for the two hundredth episode, we are going to

0:54:47.920 --> 0:54:51.279
<v Speaker 3>bring an in to probably the saddest segment in our

0:54:51.320 --> 0:54:52.240
<v Speaker 3>podcast history.

0:54:52.320 --> 0:54:52.920
<v Speaker 2>You're quitting.

0:54:54.560 --> 0:54:57.760
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, so this is this is the death to my teasers.

0:54:58.360 --> 0:54:59.560
<v Speaker 3>I know we thought this is going to be a

0:54:59.560 --> 0:55:02.600
<v Speaker 3>celebrat for the two hundredth episode, but this is probably

0:55:02.640 --> 0:55:06.160
<v Speaker 3>more like a eulogy. Uh yeah, I mean two hundred

0:55:06.200 --> 0:55:09.600
<v Speaker 3>has also never been important in sports. I'm gonna read

0:55:09.640 --> 0:55:11.799
<v Speaker 3>you off a couple of stats. I'm actually not gonna

0:55:11.840 --> 0:55:15.439
<v Speaker 3>read you off a couple of stats, abandoning that. But yeah, dude,

0:55:16.040 --> 0:55:19.080
<v Speaker 3>so that that's the end of the teaser. We're done

0:55:19.120 --> 0:55:25.400
<v Speaker 3>with that. Yeah, I mean, I just I can't. I

0:55:25.440 --> 0:55:28.080
<v Speaker 3>mean I can't. I can't continue to do this to myself.

0:55:28.400 --> 0:55:33.239
<v Speaker 3>I think that I need to. Uh, I don't want to.

0:55:34.719 --> 0:55:36.280
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I really Detroit.

0:55:38.880 --> 0:55:41.080
<v Speaker 3>I came into this season thinking that it was gonna

0:55:41.080 --> 0:55:44.880
<v Speaker 3>be light because I placed maybe like three teasers at

0:55:44.880 --> 0:55:47.040
<v Speaker 3>the end of the football season last year. I'm not

0:55:47.040 --> 0:55:49.799
<v Speaker 3>gonna lie. One of them hit the three, but the

0:55:49.880 --> 0:55:51.839
<v Speaker 3>other two I missed a leg, like one leg.

0:55:52.120 --> 0:55:55.279
<v Speaker 2>Like that's the funniest I gotta tell you. That's the

0:55:55.320 --> 0:55:59.319
<v Speaker 2>funniest part of Demons's confidence coming into the year on

0:55:59.400 --> 0:56:02.680
<v Speaker 2>the teasers. It was totally unearned. It's not like he

0:56:02.760 --> 0:56:05.080
<v Speaker 2>had this crazy hot streak he bet I know, I

0:56:05.200 --> 0:56:09.480
<v Speaker 2>remember this. He bet three. He only won one, and

0:56:09.560 --> 0:56:12.759
<v Speaker 2>he was like, I've got the teaser thing down, Like,

0:56:12.920 --> 0:56:16.239
<v Speaker 2>don't you worry about me. I'm like, okay, buddy, Like

0:56:16.400 --> 0:56:20.399
<v Speaker 2>if you say so, I didn't. I didn't quite get it,

0:56:20.880 --> 0:56:22.239
<v Speaker 2>but I listen the.

0:56:22.239 --> 0:56:24.080
<v Speaker 3>Reason of the playoffs. I feel like I should get

0:56:24.120 --> 0:56:27.400
<v Speaker 3>more like more of a vaguer like juice for like

0:56:27.520 --> 0:56:28.440
<v Speaker 3>hitting a teaser. No.

0:56:28.680 --> 0:56:31.640
<v Speaker 2>And but that's fair. And by the way, it's a

0:56:31.719 --> 0:56:36.560
<v Speaker 2>shame because there is a you know what, I'm gonna

0:56:36.600 --> 0:56:42.000
<v Speaker 2>take over. I'm taking over for you three team six

0:56:43.480 --> 0:56:47.040
<v Speaker 2>right now, right now, three team six point teaser the

0:56:47.160 --> 0:56:49.879
<v Speaker 2>Chiefs from minus eight and a half to minus two

0:56:49.880 --> 0:56:53.160
<v Speaker 2>and a half in New England, the Cowboys from plus

0:56:53.200 --> 0:56:55.399
<v Speaker 2>one and a half to plus seven and a half

0:56:55.480 --> 0:56:58.719
<v Speaker 2>against the Bills, and the Dolphins from minus eight and

0:56:58.760 --> 0:57:00.680
<v Speaker 2>a half to minus two and a half half against

0:57:00.680 --> 0:57:05.280
<v Speaker 2>the Jets. Those follow every teaser rule demands, they cross

0:57:05.360 --> 0:57:09.120
<v Speaker 2>every key number. We get massive value on all accounts.

0:57:09.400 --> 0:57:12.719
<v Speaker 2>That teaser locked in you know what, I'll place it

0:57:12.760 --> 0:57:17.280
<v Speaker 2>on your behalf as a Christmas present, the the I'll play.

0:57:17.400 --> 0:57:19.920
<v Speaker 2>I'll take something that I was gonna get you for Christmas.

0:57:20.080 --> 0:57:22.440
<v Speaker 2>I'm taking that money aside. I'm a place that this

0:57:22.560 --> 0:57:26.320
<v Speaker 2>teaser on your behalf instead. Happy Chris, Merry Christmas, buddy.

0:57:26.680 --> 0:57:30.720
<v Speaker 3>I appreciate it, Pops. I've I've got a teaser like

0:57:32.040 --> 0:57:33.040
<v Speaker 3>logged in my phone.

0:57:33.240 --> 0:57:33.600
<v Speaker 2>Just quit.

0:57:34.480 --> 0:57:36.480
<v Speaker 3>Yeah I did, just quit, But like it's gonna be.

0:57:36.600 --> 0:57:39.400
<v Speaker 3>It's gonna be that imaginary teaser versus your teaser. And

0:57:39.400 --> 0:57:42.320
<v Speaker 3>it's not so imaginary, it's it's already placed. So we

0:57:42.360 --> 0:57:43.680
<v Speaker 3>can we can go ahead to head on.

0:57:43.640 --> 0:57:45.240
<v Speaker 2>The Okay, all right, what's.

0:57:46.880 --> 0:57:49.880
<v Speaker 3>All right? So it's time for the offer, the week

0:57:49.920 --> 0:57:54.600
<v Speaker 3>fifteen offer. You know, Kansas City obviously doesn't cover big spreads,

0:57:54.920 --> 0:57:57.600
<v Speaker 3>but it's impossible for them to lose to the Patriots,

0:57:57.680 --> 0:58:01.120
<v Speaker 3>or you would think Chiefs one Chiefs to win by

0:58:01.200 --> 0:58:04.560
<v Speaker 3>one by one and six points or one through six

0:58:04.560 --> 0:58:07.880
<v Speaker 3>points is plus three twenty. Do you accept that offer?

0:58:09.080 --> 0:58:12.280
<v Speaker 2>No, I don't accept the offer. I think the Chiefs

0:58:12.320 --> 0:58:15.480
<v Speaker 2>absolutely could blow out the Patriots. Also, this reminds me

0:58:15.640 --> 0:58:18.440
<v Speaker 2>that that ridiculous call in Chiefs Bills cost me the

0:58:18.440 --> 0:58:21.320
<v Speaker 2>offer from last week of plus five fifty. Who was

0:58:21.360 --> 0:58:25.400
<v Speaker 2>the Chiefs to beat the Bills and it was in

0:58:25.400 --> 0:58:28.600
<v Speaker 2>the tournament? God dog it. That makes it even more frustrating.

0:58:28.680 --> 0:58:31.200
<v Speaker 2>Quick break right back? What we answer your questions in

0:58:31.200 --> 0:58:39.880
<v Speaker 2>the chat? What's right? All right? Demanse Uh, Let's go

0:58:39.920 --> 0:58:41.840
<v Speaker 2>ahead and get to some of these chat questions before

0:58:41.840 --> 0:58:42.400
<v Speaker 2>I gotta go.

0:58:43.040 --> 0:58:45.240
<v Speaker 3>All right, So I've got a question before the chat.

0:58:45.880 --> 0:58:49.280
<v Speaker 3>Do you have a favorite moment from the last one

0:58:49.400 --> 0:58:55.040
<v Speaker 3>hundred episodes of the pod? There's too many favorite moments

0:58:55.080 --> 0:58:55.640
<v Speaker 3>to think of.

0:58:57.440 --> 0:59:00.560
<v Speaker 2>From the last one hundred episodes of the pod. I

0:59:00.560 --> 0:59:05.720
<v Speaker 2>don't have a singular one, but I really enjoy the

0:59:06.160 --> 0:59:13.160
<v Speaker 2>times when, like I go on random rant and it

0:59:13.280 --> 0:59:17.520
<v Speaker 2>is like you are really into it, Like when I'm

0:59:17.560 --> 0:59:20.840
<v Speaker 2>making you authentically laugh and you don't know what I'm

0:59:20.840 --> 0:59:23.760
<v Speaker 2>gonna say. Those are my favorite moments, like because I

0:59:23.760 --> 0:59:26.360
<v Speaker 2>can see it and it kind of like encourages me.

0:59:26.440 --> 0:59:28.000
<v Speaker 2>So those are my favorite moments, all right.

0:59:28.080 --> 0:59:32.120
<v Speaker 3>Next a note on that. It's really funny that I

0:59:32.200 --> 0:59:35.480
<v Speaker 3>see some tweets or replies to pie clips and people

0:59:35.480 --> 0:59:39.280
<v Speaker 3>are like, oh, Demands's trying to haha himself into a raise.

0:59:39.360 --> 0:59:42.200
<v Speaker 3>And stuff and like, oh, he's just he's laughing too

0:59:42.240 --> 0:59:45.640
<v Speaker 3>hard and it's dis genuine. I promise, dude. I think

0:59:45.800 --> 0:59:49.000
<v Speaker 3>I think you can actually see when it's probably a

0:59:49.040 --> 0:59:51.560
<v Speaker 3>flaw of mine. But when I'm not amused, I feel

0:59:51.600 --> 0:59:54.160
<v Speaker 3>like it's very obvious. So when I am laughing, it's

0:59:54.280 --> 0:59:55.960
<v Speaker 3>it is genuine. I promise.

0:59:56.520 --> 0:59:59.960
<v Speaker 2>Also, also, demand's been due a raise for this part

1:00:00.480 --> 1:00:03.360
<v Speaker 2>for the entire time the podcast has existed. It's right

1:00:03.400 --> 1:00:05.560
<v Speaker 2>around the corner, I promised Chappelle.

1:00:05.600 --> 1:00:10.720
<v Speaker 3>All right, Next, Nikoach Dragina said a question for today.

1:00:11.080 --> 1:00:14.760
<v Speaker 3>The season ends today. The season ends today, what moves

1:00:14.800 --> 1:00:17.240
<v Speaker 3>would you want Kansas City to make for the postseason?

1:00:18.400 --> 1:00:24.680
<v Speaker 2>All right? So, uh, I that's impossible to answer because

1:00:24.720 --> 1:00:26.360
<v Speaker 2>I still think the Chiefs are gonna play in the

1:00:26.400 --> 1:00:30.480
<v Speaker 2>super Bowl now if I'm wrong, need to be some

1:00:30.600 --> 1:00:33.720
<v Speaker 2>significant moves on the offensive side of the ball. They

1:00:33.880 --> 1:00:38.520
<v Speaker 2>also Lugerious Sneed and Chris Jones are pending free agents,

1:00:38.560 --> 1:00:41.880
<v Speaker 2>and that's gonna be tough. But I'm I'm not doing

1:00:42.040 --> 1:00:47.040
<v Speaker 2>a lot of season to go, guys. There's four weeks left.

1:00:47.120 --> 1:00:48.920
<v Speaker 2>That used to be twenty five percent of the year

1:00:48.920 --> 1:00:52.200
<v Speaker 2>Now it's like twenty two percent. Of the year, a

1:00:52.200 --> 1:00:55.040
<v Speaker 2>lot of football left to be played, and given the

1:00:55.080 --> 1:00:58.720
<v Speaker 2>Dolphins loss on Monday, I'm also still not even certain

1:00:58.760 --> 1:01:01.320
<v Speaker 2>the Chiefs aren't gonna end up hosting their sixth straight

1:01:01.360 --> 1:01:04.000
<v Speaker 2>AFC title game. So let's just pump the brakes on

1:01:04.040 --> 1:01:06.800
<v Speaker 2>what changes need to be made, because if they are

1:01:06.880 --> 1:01:09.760
<v Speaker 2>the two time defending Super Bowl champions, you probably aren't

1:01:09.760 --> 1:01:11.400
<v Speaker 2>gonna want to make many changes next.

1:01:12.600 --> 1:01:17.120
<v Speaker 3>Uh Tasso Markopolis has a question for me, Nicks, go

1:01:17.240 --> 1:01:22.640
<v Speaker 3>to explicit explit explicitive on TV seems expletive. I've never

1:01:22.720 --> 1:01:25.400
<v Speaker 3>said that word allowed. Exploitive on TV seems to be

1:01:25.480 --> 1:01:29.240
<v Speaker 3>god dog it. Uh. Can you confirm that he says

1:01:29.280 --> 1:01:31.000
<v Speaker 3>that in real life or is it just for TV?

1:01:31.760 --> 1:01:34.320
<v Speaker 3>I can confirm he says that in real life. I've

1:01:34.360 --> 1:01:36.080
<v Speaker 3>heard him. He says god dog All.

1:01:36.200 --> 1:01:38.360
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I mean I So the thing is this, I

1:01:38.480 --> 1:01:43.640
<v Speaker 2>usually I used to always say the profane version of that,

1:01:44.040 --> 1:01:47.080
<v Speaker 2>but you can't say that on TV. And that's the

1:01:47.120 --> 1:01:48.920
<v Speaker 2>one curse that really bothers.

1:01:49.560 --> 1:01:50.080
<v Speaker 1>Uh.

1:01:50.320 --> 1:01:55.200
<v Speaker 2>Demanse's mom and so no, no, no, your mom and

1:01:55.320 --> 1:01:58.320
<v Speaker 2>so I so I I just say god dog it.

1:01:58.920 --> 1:01:59.120
<v Speaker 3>Uh.

1:01:59.160 --> 1:01:59.919
<v Speaker 2>And so that's why.

1:02:00.080 --> 1:02:05.080
<v Speaker 3>But go ahead, Michael asked Nick do you, uh, how

1:02:05.080 --> 1:02:08.600
<v Speaker 3>do you suggest someone study modern poker theory?

1:02:08.680 --> 1:02:10.720
<v Speaker 2>Well, you know, it's so funny. There is a great

1:02:10.800 --> 1:02:15.720
<v Speaker 2>book called Modern Poker Theory Theory called by Michael is

1:02:15.760 --> 1:02:20.439
<v Speaker 2>it asseveto hold on? Let me get it or Michael, Yeah,

1:02:20.560 --> 1:02:21.480
<v Speaker 2>Michael Acevedo.

1:02:21.840 --> 1:02:22.400
<v Speaker 3>Uh.

1:02:22.840 --> 1:02:28.000
<v Speaker 2>It's dense, but it is discernible and if you just

1:02:28.080 --> 1:02:30.520
<v Speaker 2>kind of work your way through it, that gives you

1:02:30.560 --> 1:02:34.360
<v Speaker 2>the building blocks of what is modern poker theory, which

1:02:34.360 --> 1:02:38.320
<v Speaker 2>again that's another podcast for another day. Whether I think

1:02:38.360 --> 1:02:42.320
<v Speaker 2>some people have gotten way worse at poker by trying

1:02:42.440 --> 1:02:46.240
<v Speaker 2>to implement these game theory optimal principles that they're not

1:02:46.320 --> 1:02:49.840
<v Speaker 2>equipped to rather than playing the way they previously were.

1:02:50.160 --> 1:02:52.480
<v Speaker 2>But if you really want to take the leap into

1:02:52.560 --> 1:02:55.760
<v Speaker 2>that style of poker, that is the best book to

1:02:55.840 --> 1:02:57.080
<v Speaker 2>start with, all right.

1:02:57.160 --> 1:03:02.000
<v Speaker 3>Last one, Mad King Chad said hashtag ring back book club.

1:03:03.240 --> 1:03:06.800
<v Speaker 2>Maybe after the NFL season, I didn't execute book club properly.

1:03:07.280 --> 1:03:10.840
<v Speaker 2>I wasn't like diligent with making sure we did it.

1:03:10.880 --> 1:03:13.080
<v Speaker 2>I didn't know. I need to like figure out how

1:03:13.120 --> 1:03:15.960
<v Speaker 2>other people do book clubs in this format because me

1:03:16.160 --> 1:03:19.240
<v Speaker 2>just like doing twenty minute recaps of the chapters is

1:03:19.320 --> 1:03:22.680
<v Speaker 2>not interesting. So maybe we could do it, but I

1:03:22.720 --> 1:03:24.840
<v Speaker 2>need to figure out how to better execute it. Demanse,

1:03:25.760 --> 1:03:27.560
