00:00:42,840 --> 00:00:46,160
Speaker 2: Welcome in Watch Right with Nick Wright episode two eighty one,

10
00:00:46,360 --> 00:00:51,720
Speaker 2: and I actually oddly have some Daniel Jones news that

11
00:00:51,920 --> 00:00:56,800
Speaker 2: hasn't been reported elsewhere that somehow came across my desk

12
00:00:57,280 --> 00:01:02,920
Speaker 2: that we will get into momentarily. But for Demons, it's

13
00:01:03,240 --> 00:01:10,440
Speaker 2: the last pod before Thanksgiving, which means for sports media

14
00:01:10,640 --> 00:01:17,000
Speaker 2: consumers across America, you get served up this week some

15
00:01:17,200 --> 00:01:23,080
Speaker 2: of the absolute worst, laziest, most banal content there is,

16
00:01:24,040 --> 00:01:28,160
Speaker 2: which is all you a sweet potato pie or a

17
00:01:28,160 --> 00:01:33,600
Speaker 2: pumpkin pie? Guy, let's draft the side dishes. You know

18
00:01:33,720 --> 00:01:37,399
Speaker 2: what's not great? Turkey nobody eats it except for on

19
00:01:37,480 --> 00:01:43,800
Speaker 2: Thanksgiving all the same. You call it stuffing or what

20
00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:47,320
Speaker 2: do you what do you guys call it? Or dressing?

21
00:01:47,360 --> 00:01:50,360
Speaker 2: What do you do like the So are you you

22
00:01:50,720 --> 00:01:52,960
Speaker 2: eat at one o'clock or four o'clock? When do you

23
00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:58,240
Speaker 2: take your nap? All it has been rinse and repeat

24
00:01:58,560 --> 00:02:04,920
Speaker 2: since the begin since the first sports radio Mike was

25
00:02:05,120 --> 00:02:10,840
Speaker 2: cracked on WFAN forty years ago that people were like,

26
00:02:11,160 --> 00:02:15,520
Speaker 2: you know what America wants During one of the busiest

27
00:02:15,560 --> 00:02:20,880
Speaker 2: sports week of the year college football rivalry games, Thanksgiving Football,

28
00:02:21,160 --> 00:02:23,600
Speaker 2: the NBA is going all of it. You know what

29
00:02:23,639 --> 00:02:28,560
Speaker 2: they want to hear. So you like the cranberry stuffing

30
00:02:28,600 --> 00:02:32,000
Speaker 2: that shaped as a can or the actual authentic Nobody

31
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:37,359
Speaker 2: wants to hear it, and every I guarant it is terrible.

32
00:02:37,960 --> 00:02:42,040
Speaker 2: It's and you're gonna see it on every pod but

33
00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:45,760
Speaker 2: this one. My tradition is every year during this show,

34
00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:51,800
Speaker 2: making fun of that thematic that exists across the industry.

35
00:02:52,040 --> 00:02:54,840
Speaker 2: Put this on the internet. Please, all right, here's what

36
00:02:54,960 --> 00:02:59,600
Speaker 2: missed the cut. I told you guys, Tommy DeVito was problematic.

37
00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:02,520
Speaker 2: I told you that him and his agent having the

38
00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:05,360
Speaker 2: whole thing be Hey, guess what it's funny that we're

39
00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:08,400
Speaker 2: Italian was gonna come back and bite us, and by

40
00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:10,720
Speaker 2: us I mean US Italians. And now all of a sudden,

41
00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:13,960
Speaker 2: Baker Mayfield, who I love but is about as waspy

42
00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:16,239
Speaker 2: as it gets, is out there doing the a baison,

43
00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:19,720
Speaker 2: which again a little appropriation. Baker, you're my guy, but

44
00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:23,160
Speaker 2: don't love it. Dallas, are they a playoff contender? Probably not.

45
00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:27,160
Speaker 2: Aaron Rodgers banned from the show. Did I ban him

46
00:03:27,160 --> 00:03:30,320
Speaker 2: from the show? Maybe? I'm not sure, Okay, I banned

47
00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:32,400
Speaker 2: him from the show. All right, before we get to

48
00:03:32,440 --> 00:03:36,520
Speaker 2: Monday night football demons some news, Yeah, what's going on?

49
00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:40,840
Speaker 2: I don't know if anyone else has, So this is

50
00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:46,840
Speaker 2: impeccably sourced. However, I totally understand if people hear this

51
00:03:46,920 --> 00:03:50,240
Speaker 2: and they're like, what are you kidding me? Like, since Win, Nick,

52
00:03:50,320 --> 00:03:52,600
Speaker 2: are you a newsbreaker? And if you are a newsbreaker,

53
00:03:52,680 --> 00:03:54,840
Speaker 2: since Win doesn't have to do with Daniel Jones. So

54
00:03:54,920 --> 00:03:57,120
Speaker 2: this is just gonna have to be something you guys,

55
00:03:57,160 --> 00:04:02,360
Speaker 2: trust me on or you don't. The it's the information's free.

56
00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:09,640
Speaker 2: So a bunch of teams inquired about Daniel Jones, including

57
00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:16,680
Speaker 2: the Raiders, who not only inquired but basically said like,

58
00:04:16,760 --> 00:04:22,760
Speaker 2: hey man, you can start for us almost immediately because

59
00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:26,359
Speaker 2: Gardner broke his collar bone. He said no, thank you

60
00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:28,120
Speaker 2: to that. And by the way, I think that is

61
00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:31,360
Speaker 2: smart by Daniel Jones. I don't think playing for a

62
00:04:31,480 --> 00:04:35,279
Speaker 2: terrible team, a new game plan, new offense, all of

63
00:04:35,320 --> 00:04:39,599
Speaker 2: that will help him. So he has narrowed it down

64
00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:45,360
Speaker 2: to four teams. All four of these teams would sign him,

65
00:04:45,440 --> 00:04:52,800
Speaker 2: so it truly is his choice. The teams are Baltimore, Miami, Minnesota,

66
00:04:53,400 --> 00:04:58,800
Speaker 2: and San Francisco. Now, from what I understand, there are

67
00:04:58,960 --> 00:05:03,600
Speaker 2: people I guess what's the verbiage people use in his

68
00:05:03,839 --> 00:05:11,279
Speaker 2: camp that want him to go to Baltimore he would

69
00:05:13,160 --> 00:05:20,679
Speaker 2: prefer or is leaning towards San Francisco or Minnesota. That's

70
00:05:20,720 --> 00:05:23,000
Speaker 2: the report, and Miami is there as well as a

71
00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:29,040
Speaker 2: possibility the So that's the reporting. That's the news. And

72
00:05:29,120 --> 00:05:32,600
Speaker 2: if that has been by the way, i'ven't scoured Twitter

73
00:05:32,760 --> 00:05:36,920
Speaker 2: the last ninety minutes. If that has been reported elsewhere,

74
00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:40,600
Speaker 2: then credit to those people. But this is my own.

75
00:05:41,040 --> 00:05:43,039
Speaker 2: You know, about twice a year I put on my

76
00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:47,320
Speaker 2: reporter hat uh and this one I didn't really I

77
00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:48,080
Speaker 2: didn't really even.

78
00:05:47,960 --> 00:05:52,880
Speaker 3: Have basically free huh.

79
00:05:51,960 --> 00:05:55,599
Speaker 2: Correct, it'll be for the league minimum or close to it,

80
00:05:55,720 --> 00:05:59,080
Speaker 2: right for the rest of the year. So the arguments

81
00:05:59,160 --> 00:06:05,080
Speaker 2: for the teams would be quickly. Baltimore would be if

82
00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:08,880
Speaker 2: something were to happen to Lamar a kind of power

83
00:06:09,120 --> 00:06:12,760
Speaker 2: running quarterback offense with Derrick Henry. He knows how to

84
00:06:12,839 --> 00:06:18,040
Speaker 2: run that. The argument for Miami is they almost if

85
00:06:18,400 --> 00:06:23,479
Speaker 2: he comported himself well over the final part of this season,

86
00:06:24,160 --> 00:06:29,400
Speaker 2: they almost assuredly would bring him back next year because

87
00:06:29,440 --> 00:06:35,080
Speaker 2: their backup quarterback situation has been such a disaster. The

88
00:06:35,240 --> 00:06:41,159
Speaker 2: argument for Minnesota is is Sam Donald banged up? Might

89
00:06:41,279 --> 00:06:44,720
Speaker 2: you actually get to play? And even if you don't,

90
00:06:45,320 --> 00:06:48,200
Speaker 2: Kevin O'Connell has said great things about him, and we've

91
00:06:48,240 --> 00:06:51,240
Speaker 2: seen what Kevin O'Connell has done for Sam Donald. The

92
00:06:51,440 --> 00:06:54,800
Speaker 2: argument for San Francisco and this is if I were

93
00:06:54,839 --> 00:06:58,440
Speaker 2: talking to Daniel Jones, where I would tell him to

94
00:06:58,480 --> 00:07:01,480
Speaker 2: go is brock Perty shoulder might be messed up.

95
00:07:01,520 --> 00:07:01,719
Speaker 3: Man.

96
00:07:03,160 --> 00:07:07,920
Speaker 2: There's now reporting he has had two different MRIs. They've

97
00:07:07,960 --> 00:07:11,080
Speaker 2: been very You can never trust the Niners about injuries

98
00:07:11,520 --> 00:07:14,360
Speaker 2: because they told us Christian McCaffrey was probable for Week one,

99
00:07:14,400 --> 00:07:18,920
Speaker 2: then he missed ten weeks and the and the Achilles

100
00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:21,640
Speaker 2: ten tonight has spread from one leg to another like

101
00:07:21,680 --> 00:07:25,120
Speaker 2: a fungus. And so when the Niners are like, ah,

102
00:07:25,160 --> 00:07:28,600
Speaker 2: we're not sure about Purty should be better, he's throwing.

103
00:07:29,040 --> 00:07:41,520
Speaker 2: So I would personally say to Daniel Jones San Francisco, Miami, Minnesota, Baltimore,

104
00:07:42,520 --> 00:07:44,880
Speaker 2: because if I were him, I would want to go

105
00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:50,760
Speaker 2: somewhere with a great offensive minded head coach, legitimate weapons,

106
00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:57,360
Speaker 2: a passable if not better, offensive line, and a chance

107
00:07:57,400 --> 00:08:02,040
Speaker 2: to play. And those three play San Francisco. The quarterback's

108
00:08:02,040 --> 00:08:06,960
Speaker 2: already hurt. Minnesota, the quarter you know they're the Oh.

109
00:08:07,040 --> 00:08:09,560
Speaker 2: The other thing about Minnesota is this real quick before

110
00:08:09,600 --> 00:08:13,880
Speaker 2: I move on. They expect Darnold to get a legitimate,

111
00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:18,520
Speaker 2: real contract from someone next year. They're obviously invested in

112
00:08:18,640 --> 00:08:22,680
Speaker 2: JJ McCarthy, so they Minnesota won't be signing JJ McCarthy,

113
00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:26,280
Speaker 2: but JJ McCarthy will essentially be a rookie coming off

114
00:08:26,400 --> 00:08:30,119
Speaker 2: multiple knee surgeries, so Daniel Jones might be able to

115
00:08:30,160 --> 00:08:33,439
Speaker 2: play for them next season. The argument for Miami is

116
00:08:33,520 --> 00:08:37,240
Speaker 2: kind of a sad one, which is Miami's backup quarterback

117
00:08:37,400 --> 00:08:42,400
Speaker 2: is on alert at all times because of too a situation.

118
00:08:42,640 --> 00:08:47,480
Speaker 2: So I again people in his camp for reasons I

119
00:08:47,480 --> 00:08:50,880
Speaker 2: don't totally understand think Baltimore is the best option. I

120
00:08:50,920 --> 00:08:53,719
Speaker 2: think those other three places are better options. But it's

121
00:08:53,760 --> 00:08:58,840
Speaker 2: gonna be one of those four. San Francisco, Minnesota, Miami, Baltimore.

122
00:08:59,360 --> 00:09:01,360
Speaker 2: And if I end up being wrong, I'm retiring from

123
00:09:01,400 --> 00:09:03,719
Speaker 2: the Daniel Jones beat forever. But I think I've got

124
00:09:03,720 --> 00:09:08,240
Speaker 2: this one buttoned up. Take that Adam Schefter. I don't know,

125
00:09:08,600 --> 00:09:11,400
Speaker 2: got nothing to get shifty, but yeah, so there it is.

126
00:09:12,080 --> 00:09:12,520
Speaker 3: All right.

127
00:09:12,559 --> 00:09:15,760
Speaker 2: So there's your news off the top of the show.

128
00:09:16,920 --> 00:09:20,560
Speaker 2: Now let's get to the news everyone knows. Monday night football,

129
00:09:20,600 --> 00:09:21,040
Speaker 2: go ahead.

130
00:09:21,760 --> 00:09:24,719
Speaker 3: So Lamar Jackson balled out against the Chargers last night.

131
00:09:24,760 --> 00:09:27,040
Speaker 3: They came out with a dub. I think they scored

132
00:09:27,040 --> 00:09:29,960
Speaker 3: the most points on that Chargers defense in anybody this season.

133
00:09:30,320 --> 00:09:33,360
Speaker 2: For sure. That Chargers evens was allowing fourteen a game.

134
00:09:33,920 --> 00:09:36,880
Speaker 2: It was the number one scoring defense in football. They

135
00:09:36,960 --> 00:09:40,199
Speaker 2: scored thirty. It was definitely the most Stay've allowed all year.

136
00:09:40,440 --> 00:09:43,040
Speaker 3: Yep, when they're a drop thirty. But somehow I feel

137
00:09:43,040 --> 00:09:45,320
Speaker 3: like you're gonna say this doesn't mean anything. Did this

138
00:09:45,400 --> 00:09:47,960
Speaker 3: game show you anything about Lamar? Do you have any

139
00:09:47,960 --> 00:09:48,520
Speaker 3: thoughts on.

140
00:09:48,440 --> 00:09:51,959
Speaker 2: It well, so I'm not gonna say it doesn't mean anything.

141
00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:55,760
Speaker 2: It was actually a super important game for Baltimore. So

142
00:09:56,000 --> 00:10:02,640
Speaker 2: here's why it was important. The if Baltimore had lost

143
00:10:02,679 --> 00:10:07,640
Speaker 2: this game, not only would their chances of getting the

144
00:10:07,920 --> 00:10:11,120
Speaker 2: winning the division be hurt, but if they don't win

145
00:10:11,200 --> 00:10:14,760
Speaker 2: the division, their chance of being the top wild card

146
00:10:14,840 --> 00:10:18,160
Speaker 2: would have been crippled. Because if they lose this game,

147
00:10:18,280 --> 00:10:21,920
Speaker 2: and then of course the Chargers win it, the Chargers

148
00:10:21,960 --> 00:10:25,440
Speaker 2: get to eight and three, the Ravens drop to seven

149
00:10:25,520 --> 00:10:30,120
Speaker 2: and five, and the Chargers have the tiebreaker. So the

150
00:10:30,240 --> 00:10:32,720
Speaker 2: Ravens would you know, they have to finish with a

151
00:10:32,720 --> 00:10:35,960
Speaker 2: better record than the Chargers. Why does that matter? Man?

152
00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:41,000
Speaker 2: The difference between the five and the sixth seed is enormous.

153
00:10:41,840 --> 00:10:46,280
Speaker 2: The five seed gets to go to Houston almost assuredly,

154
00:10:46,800 --> 00:10:50,079
Speaker 2: and Houston right now is a wounded animal. The offensive

155
00:10:50,120 --> 00:10:53,200
Speaker 2: line is cooked. CJ. Stroud, Oh, you want to know

156
00:10:53,240 --> 00:10:56,000
Speaker 2: a you want to know a fun little fact, Demonsey

157
00:10:56,440 --> 00:10:58,960
Speaker 2: that's gonna be featured on the television show today. This

158
00:10:59,040 --> 00:11:01,360
Speaker 2: is not the topic. But as far as wanting to

159
00:11:01,400 --> 00:11:04,920
Speaker 2: be the five seed and getting Houston, remember how CJ

160
00:11:05,640 --> 00:11:09,319
Speaker 2: after Week two put his arm around Caleb Williams and

161
00:11:09,440 --> 00:11:12,360
Speaker 2: was like, let me, let me teach you something, young fella.

162
00:11:12,760 --> 00:11:18,840
Speaker 2: Since then CJ Stroud eleven touchdowns, nine picks, an eighty

163
00:11:18,880 --> 00:11:21,680
Speaker 2: three rating, two hundred and thirty eight yards per game.

164
00:11:22,480 --> 00:11:27,680
Speaker 2: Since then, Caleb Williams eleven touchdowns, three picks, a ninety

165
00:11:27,720 --> 00:11:31,120
Speaker 2: two rating, two hundred and thirty two yards per game. Oh,

166
00:11:31,200 --> 00:11:34,160
Speaker 2: has the student become the teacher so fast? My friend

167
00:11:34,280 --> 00:11:38,960
Speaker 2: is either here, okay, I'm just telling you. I'm just

168
00:11:39,040 --> 00:11:43,680
Speaker 2: telling you facts or facts. Maybe maybe you know as

169
00:11:43,760 --> 00:11:47,200
Speaker 2: the as the wise man once set two years one

170
00:11:47,320 --> 00:11:50,440
Speaker 2: mouth for a reason. Maybe a little more listening, a

171
00:11:50,440 --> 00:11:55,080
Speaker 2: little less advice giving, CJ. But that's either here nor there.

172
00:11:55,440 --> 00:11:57,880
Speaker 2: So you want, if you're gonna be a wild card,

173
00:11:57,920 --> 00:12:00,679
Speaker 2: you want to be the five. So at both lost,

174
00:12:01,120 --> 00:12:03,760
Speaker 2: not only would their chance of winning the division be hampered,

175
00:12:04,200 --> 00:12:07,600
Speaker 2: they would their chance of if they don't win the division,

176
00:12:08,200 --> 00:12:11,640
Speaker 2: being the five seed would have been kneecapped. Again, Chargers

177
00:12:11,640 --> 00:12:14,160
Speaker 2: would have been eight and three. They would have been

178
00:12:14,280 --> 00:12:16,160
Speaker 2: seven and five, And the Chargers have the head to

179
00:12:16,240 --> 00:12:20,520
Speaker 2: head and the six seed's a tough spot in the

180
00:12:20,559 --> 00:12:23,280
Speaker 2: AFC because the sixth seed is either going to be

181
00:12:23,320 --> 00:12:27,440
Speaker 2: playing the winner of the AFC East Buffalo or the

182
00:12:27,440 --> 00:12:29,920
Speaker 2: winner of the AFC North, whoever that is. So it

183
00:12:30,120 --> 00:12:36,600
Speaker 2: was a big game, and I don't think folks are

184
00:12:36,760 --> 00:12:40,920
Speaker 2: actually confused by my Lamar Jackson take. I think they're

185
00:12:41,040 --> 00:12:44,520
Speaker 2: frustrated by how accurate it is, so they try to

186
00:12:44,679 --> 00:12:49,680
Speaker 2: argue with me about it. Lamar wins seventy five percent

187
00:12:49,720 --> 00:12:53,120
Speaker 2: of the games in his career. He's a two time MVP.

188
00:12:54,200 --> 00:12:59,240
Speaker 2: His stats are historically great. He does things on the

189
00:12:59,280 --> 00:13:03,400
Speaker 2: football field that maybe no other player has ever done.

190
00:13:03,640 --> 00:13:08,720
Speaker 2: Everyone knows this. He was a road favorite last night

191
00:13:09,320 --> 00:13:13,079
Speaker 2: against an excellent excellence, probably too strong, against a good

192
00:13:13,200 --> 00:13:19,120
Speaker 2: Charger team, and they won convincingly, and no one is

193
00:13:19,200 --> 00:13:26,800
Speaker 2: that surprised, which is why it's so disappointing that in

194
00:13:27,360 --> 00:13:33,600
Speaker 2: not big games, but the biggest spots, he's so consistently bad.

195
00:13:35,400 --> 00:13:38,960
Speaker 2: That's all. It's not that Lamar is like, Oh, he

196
00:13:39,040 --> 00:13:44,400
Speaker 2: only beats the bad teams. He's not Tua. It's not that, oh,

197
00:13:44,640 --> 00:13:49,120
Speaker 2: Lamar can't handle the bright lights. He's not Kirk Cousins.

198
00:13:49,880 --> 00:13:54,160
Speaker 2: Nobody thinks that he's a future first ballot Hall of Famer,

199
00:13:55,080 --> 00:13:59,680
Speaker 2: which is why it's so disappointing that against his divisional rival,

200
00:14:00,360 --> 00:14:03,880
Speaker 2: the reigning dynasty, and in the playoffs he's so bad.

201
00:14:05,240 --> 00:14:07,200
Speaker 2: Do I think that's gonna be that way for his

202
00:14:07,440 --> 00:14:13,720
Speaker 2: entire career? Probably not. It kind of was for Peyton Manning.

203
00:14:14,800 --> 00:14:18,800
Speaker 2: Now Peyton won two Super Bowls anyway, but Peyton I

204
00:14:18,920 --> 00:14:23,400
Speaker 2: went through it today, like Peyton's numbers, there's just no

205
00:14:23,480 --> 00:14:26,760
Speaker 2: way around it of how much of a massive drop

206
00:14:26,800 --> 00:14:30,120
Speaker 2: it is regular season to postseason. Dan Marino the same

207
00:14:30,160 --> 00:14:36,520
Speaker 2: way regular season to postseason. And there's two quarterbacks, ever,

208
00:14:37,160 --> 00:14:43,280
Speaker 2: whose numbers get not only better, but significantly better regular

209
00:14:43,320 --> 00:14:48,600
Speaker 2: season to postseason, Patrick Mahomes and Joe Montana. That's it.

210
00:14:49,880 --> 00:14:53,680
Speaker 2: Even Brady's drop a little bit. But Brady had so

211
00:14:53,840 --> 00:14:59,880
Speaker 2: many huge moments. So I just I what is frustrating?

212
00:15:00,440 --> 00:15:02,720
Speaker 2: And Demons, you can tell me if you think I'm

213
00:15:02,720 --> 00:15:06,960
Speaker 2: being unfair here. I thought the best player on the

214
00:15:07,000 --> 00:15:11,600
Speaker 2: Ravens last night was Derrick Henry. I thought he was

215
00:15:11,640 --> 00:15:14,960
Speaker 2: the difference in the game. But it seemed but it

216
00:15:15,040 --> 00:15:17,880
Speaker 2: was close. Lamar had some unbelievable plays. He also pulled

217
00:15:17,920 --> 00:15:20,800
Speaker 2: out his high school touchdown move of where he stopped

218
00:15:20,880 --> 00:15:24,080
Speaker 2: right before the goal line lets the guy run past him. Sick.

219
00:15:25,000 --> 00:15:28,920
Speaker 2: What is frustrating for me is hit the deep ball.

220
00:15:29,200 --> 00:15:33,000
Speaker 2: And by the way, he played well after that first quarter,

221
00:15:33,840 --> 00:15:36,080
Speaker 2: I think he completed two passes like they you know,

222
00:15:36,160 --> 00:15:38,240
Speaker 2: it's not like it was smooth sailing from the beginning.

223
00:15:38,440 --> 00:15:40,320
Speaker 2: It was like, ooh, what's wrong with the Ravens offense?

224
00:15:40,320 --> 00:15:42,880
Speaker 2: And then they got rolling. What is frustrating for me

225
00:15:43,120 --> 00:15:49,000
Speaker 2: and makes it feel like we're not really being consistent narratively,

226
00:15:49,200 --> 00:15:56,120
Speaker 2: is every single time the Ravens win, the talk show

227
00:15:56,240 --> 00:16:00,920
Speaker 2: topic is my god, Lamar is he the MVP? Or

228
00:16:00,960 --> 00:16:05,120
Speaker 2: is he the MVP? And every time they lose, the

229
00:16:05,240 --> 00:16:09,120
Speaker 2: narrative is why didn't they run Derrick Henry Moore? Why

230
00:16:09,120 --> 00:16:11,640
Speaker 2: didn't they run JK Dobvins to the playoff game? More

231
00:16:11,840 --> 00:16:17,480
Speaker 2: That to me is a little frustrating. And so that

232
00:16:17,560 --> 00:16:21,240
Speaker 2: and I and I said going into yesterday's game that

233
00:16:21,360 --> 00:16:24,040
Speaker 2: I thought the Ravens would win and the topic on

234
00:16:24,080 --> 00:16:28,120
Speaker 2: our show would be is Lamar the MVP? And that's

235
00:16:28,160 --> 00:16:34,680
Speaker 2: where we are. And so I people think because I

236
00:16:34,880 --> 00:16:41,560
Speaker 2: refuse to couch my honest opinion, because I'm not actually

237
00:16:41,680 --> 00:16:45,680
Speaker 2: like I think some I'm gonna really get in the

238
00:16:45,680 --> 00:16:49,080
Speaker 2: weeds on this to a degree. I think some media

239
00:16:49,160 --> 00:16:55,200
Speaker 2: folks really want the athletes to like them, when the

240
00:16:55,280 --> 00:16:59,160
Speaker 2: reality is like Lamar Jackson and I are not gonna

241
00:16:59,200 --> 00:17:02,640
Speaker 2: be buddies. Like not that I wouldn't if you know,

242
00:17:02,680 --> 00:17:05,399
Speaker 2: if there was a world in which we happened to,

243
00:17:06,160 --> 00:17:10,080
Speaker 2: you know, across it path socially, I think we'd get

244
00:17:10,080 --> 00:17:13,520
Speaker 2: along great. But we don't. We're like Whether or not

245
00:17:13,760 --> 00:17:16,960
Speaker 2: Lamar Jackson thinks I'm a jerk, a great guy, or

246
00:17:17,000 --> 00:17:21,600
Speaker 2: anything has very very very little impact on my life.

247
00:17:21,800 --> 00:17:31,000
Speaker 2: And I'm not rooting against him because I actually find

248
00:17:31,080 --> 00:17:35,080
Speaker 2: him to be one of the most likable players in

249
00:17:35,119 --> 00:17:38,919
Speaker 2: the league. I don't think he's fake at all. I

250
00:17:38,960 --> 00:17:43,960
Speaker 2: think compared to the vast majority of high level quarterbacks,

251
00:17:45,240 --> 00:17:48,560
Speaker 2: it would appear I agree with him on political and

252
00:17:48,680 --> 00:17:51,159
Speaker 2: social issues more than I do most of these guys.

253
00:17:51,600 --> 00:17:56,360
Speaker 2: His teammates adore him. He's an incredibly tough competitor. He

254
00:17:56,480 --> 00:18:02,040
Speaker 2: never he almost never and I think never, intentionally throws

255
00:18:02,080 --> 00:18:05,879
Speaker 2: teammates under the bus. I like the guy, so I'm

256
00:18:05,920 --> 00:18:09,520
Speaker 2: not This isn't like an Aaron Rodgers thing, where there

257
00:18:09,560 --> 00:18:15,120
Speaker 2: I have my criticisms and I also dislike him. I

258
00:18:15,119 --> 00:18:18,960
Speaker 2: I so I'm not rooting for him to fail, but

259
00:18:19,040 --> 00:18:23,960
Speaker 2: I'm also not gonna lie to the audience about what

260
00:18:24,040 --> 00:18:29,320
Speaker 2: I think is a at this moment James Harden and

261
00:18:29,400 --> 00:18:34,840
Speaker 2: Aaron Judge esque trajectory, and so that like, that's where

262
00:18:34,880 --> 00:18:37,240
Speaker 2: it is. And so no, I was not shocked at

263
00:18:37,240 --> 00:18:39,880
Speaker 2: all about last night. You know what I was shocked by.

264
00:18:40,800 --> 00:18:42,160
Speaker 2: Go ahead, you go ahead.

265
00:18:42,800 --> 00:18:44,480
Speaker 3: I was gonna ask if I mean you said this

266
00:18:44,520 --> 00:18:46,720
Speaker 3: is a huge game. La Mark can't win games in

267
00:18:46,800 --> 00:18:50,399
Speaker 3: huge spots, the biggest games. Would you not say this

268
00:18:50,480 --> 00:18:52,199
Speaker 3: is a big game and he won it? Like and

269
00:18:52,480 --> 00:18:55,080
Speaker 3: you say it's not an excellent Chargers team, but it

270
00:18:55,119 --> 00:18:55,719
Speaker 3: isn't excellent.

271
00:18:56,400 --> 00:19:01,520
Speaker 2: It was a very big game. I've seen Lamar win

272
00:19:01,600 --> 00:19:07,520
Speaker 2: big games. It is very very clear. This is what's

273
00:19:07,560 --> 00:19:11,040
Speaker 2: frustrating to me. Folks want my take to be something

274
00:19:11,080 --> 00:19:13,960
Speaker 2: it's not, because if it were something, it's not, it

275
00:19:14,080 --> 00:19:17,080
Speaker 2: might be wrong. Instead, my take is what it is,

276
00:19:17,640 --> 00:19:21,640
Speaker 2: which is correct. It's not that he doesn't I saw

277
00:19:21,680 --> 00:19:25,800
Speaker 2: him beat the Niners on Christmas Day last year. It's

278
00:19:25,840 --> 00:19:29,960
Speaker 2: not that he doesn't win big games. It's that if

279
00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:37,240
Speaker 2: we were power ranking bigness of games, do we all

280
00:19:37,280 --> 00:19:40,639
Speaker 2: agree the number one draft pick for biggest games or

281
00:19:40,680 --> 00:19:44,560
Speaker 2: playoff games? Yes, we do do we all agree the

282
00:19:44,640 --> 00:19:48,280
Speaker 2: number two draft pick for biggest games for an AFC

283
00:19:48,320 --> 00:19:52,040
Speaker 2: contender is when you play the Cheaps, And do we

284
00:19:52,080 --> 00:19:56,040
Speaker 2: all agree that the number three draft pick for biggest

285
00:19:56,080 --> 00:20:01,520
Speaker 2: games when you're the Baltimore Ravens, are your against the Steelers.

286
00:20:02,640 --> 00:20:06,520
Speaker 2: I think objectively we all know that's true. Those are

287
00:20:06,560 --> 00:20:11,680
Speaker 2: the three spots he stinks. In every other scenario, he's

288
00:20:11,680 --> 00:20:17,720
Speaker 2: one of the greatest players ever. That's that's the take. Now,

289
00:20:17,760 --> 00:20:22,919
Speaker 2: folks can say I'm cherry picking, but what I'm cherry

290
00:20:22,960 --> 00:20:28,480
Speaker 2: picking is the three biggest spots he plays in, and

291
00:20:28,720 --> 00:20:33,639
Speaker 2: everyone agrees with that. Playoffs, trying to knock off the

292
00:20:33,720 --> 00:20:39,520
Speaker 2: dynasty and quarterback of the era hated divisional rival. In

293
00:20:39,840 --> 00:20:43,320
Speaker 2: literally any other scenario, he's one of the greatest ever.

294
00:20:43,840 --> 00:20:47,879
Speaker 2: In those scenarios, he's four and twelve with more turnovers

295
00:20:47,880 --> 00:20:55,440
Speaker 2: than touchdowns. So I can't I can't unsee how good

296
00:20:55,520 --> 00:21:00,200
Speaker 2: he is in spots like last night compared to how

297
00:21:00,240 --> 00:21:05,919
Speaker 2: predictably bad he is in those three spots I've laid out,

298
00:21:06,200 --> 00:21:10,679
Speaker 2: And I think the argument folks want to make is

299
00:21:10,800 --> 00:21:17,000
Speaker 2: its coincidence. Okay, I don't think that. Now. What I

300
00:21:17,200 --> 00:21:22,840
Speaker 2: was surprised by is my dear friend Colin Cowherd with

301
00:21:22,960 --> 00:21:26,000
Speaker 2: the subtweet drive by that I'm gonna have to bring

302
00:21:26,080 --> 00:21:31,280
Speaker 2: up on the Herd today. Cowherd tweets, this feels like

303
00:21:31,400 --> 00:21:35,280
Speaker 2: a big game, right, So does this count for Lamar Jackson?

304
00:21:35,720 --> 00:21:41,920
Speaker 2: Just trying to keep track again. People can be intentionally

305
00:21:42,080 --> 00:21:47,560
Speaker 2: obtuse about the take, and I'll talk to Colin about it.

306
00:21:48,040 --> 00:21:48,840
Speaker 2: I mean, it's uh.

307
00:21:51,040 --> 00:21:52,639
Speaker 3: I mean, I didn't see the tweet, but that was

308
00:21:52,680 --> 00:21:55,239
Speaker 3: exactly what I was thinking. That was exactly what I

309
00:21:55,280 --> 00:21:56,840
Speaker 3: was thinking, did you So?

310
00:21:57,119 --> 00:22:03,160
Speaker 2: Can I tell you how? I how I replied to it. Yeah,

311
00:22:03,160 --> 00:22:09,720
Speaker 2: of course. I quote tweeted it with three pictures. The

312
00:22:09,840 --> 00:22:17,639
Speaker 2: picture was they're all game recaps. The first one was

313
00:22:19,200 --> 00:22:23,160
Speaker 2: Aaron Judge caps huge may By hitting two more home

314
00:22:23,240 --> 00:22:28,040
Speaker 2: runs to lead the Yankees past the Giants. Then one

315
00:22:28,119 --> 00:22:32,200
Speaker 2: from December of twenty three, Joel Embiid scores fifty one

316
00:22:32,320 --> 00:22:35,240
Speaker 2: points as the Sixers beat the Timberwolves one twenty seven,

317
00:22:35,320 --> 00:22:40,240
Speaker 2: one thirteen, and then one from February of twenty one,

318
00:22:40,720 --> 00:22:44,400
Speaker 2: Harden scores thirty eight NAT's rally from twenty four down

319
00:22:44,480 --> 00:22:47,320
Speaker 2: to stun the Suns one twenty eight, one twenty four.

320
00:22:48,040 --> 00:22:55,040
Speaker 2: So I mean I think, sure, the so that just

321
00:22:55,280 --> 00:22:58,120
Speaker 2: you know it is what it is. We can uh

322
00:22:58,720 --> 00:23:01,160
Speaker 2: all right, so we uh, I know.

323
00:23:01,040 --> 00:23:05,520
Speaker 3: You basically touched on the Lamar. Yeah, so how does

324
00:23:05,560 --> 00:23:09,920
Speaker 3: anybody support Justin Herbert and he hasn't won anything? Lamar

325
00:23:10,000 --> 00:23:13,080
Speaker 3: Jackson obviously has the two MVPs. Herbert can't get over there.

326
00:23:13,400 --> 00:23:16,399
Speaker 2: I don't listen. Danny is the only Danny Parkins the

327
00:23:16,400 --> 00:23:20,399
Speaker 2: only person that I know of that thinks Justin Herbert

328
00:23:20,440 --> 00:23:23,719
Speaker 2: is better than Lamar. I mean, I don't again, like

329
00:23:23,760 --> 00:23:26,520
Speaker 2: when people like, how does anyone still support him? Like

330
00:23:26,960 --> 00:23:30,879
Speaker 2: Justin Herbert is obviously a good player, but he's not

331
00:23:31,440 --> 00:23:34,600
Speaker 2: an all time great, he's not a legend, he's not

332
00:23:34,680 --> 00:23:39,800
Speaker 2: an MVP, and in order for him to move up

333
00:23:39,880 --> 00:23:42,399
Speaker 2: those ranks, he's got to win some big games and

334
00:23:42,480 --> 00:23:45,439
Speaker 2: play good in some big spots. So I think that

335
00:23:46,160 --> 00:23:54,000
Speaker 2: I actually think the general Justin Herbert opinion is the

336
00:23:54,000 --> 00:23:59,040
Speaker 2: correct one. He's obviously a very talented quarterback who up

337
00:23:59,040 --> 00:24:03,400
Speaker 2: to this point in his career has at least slightly underachieved.

338
00:24:04,400 --> 00:24:08,160
Speaker 2: There that can be blamed purely on coaching. I don't

339
00:24:08,160 --> 00:24:12,040
Speaker 2: think that's fair to blame it purely on coaching. He

340
00:24:12,160 --> 00:24:16,240
Speaker 2: hasn't played his best ball in the biggest spots. The

341
00:24:16,320 --> 00:24:20,520
Speaker 2: two biggest games of his career the winning your in

342
00:24:20,680 --> 00:24:25,480
Speaker 2: game against the Raiders in Week eighteen a few years ago,

343
00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:28,760
Speaker 2: and then the second half of the playoff game against Trevor.

344
00:24:29,040 --> 00:24:34,000
Speaker 2: Those obviously were not his finest moments. And this year's

345
00:24:34,000 --> 00:24:36,120
Speaker 2: a big year for him because he's got a great

346
00:24:36,160 --> 00:24:39,200
Speaker 2: defense and a great head coach. So I think that

347
00:24:39,200 --> 00:24:44,159
Speaker 2: that is the I think most people's Justin Herbert opinion is,

348
00:24:44,320 --> 00:24:47,080
Speaker 2: you know, within the bounds of that. I think the

349
00:24:47,160 --> 00:24:51,160
Speaker 2: people who think Tua is better than him are out

350
00:24:51,160 --> 00:24:53,520
Speaker 2: of their mind. And I think the people that think

351
00:24:53,560 --> 00:24:56,640
Speaker 2: he's better than Joe Burrow or out of their minds.

352
00:24:57,240 --> 00:24:59,919
Speaker 2: Like I think, you know what I mean, He's he's

353
00:25:00,200 --> 00:25:03,720
Speaker 2: right there. Like what is if we wanted to have

354
00:25:03,760 --> 00:25:10,200
Speaker 2: an actually interesting Justin Herbert conversation, the Justin Herbert, who

355
00:25:10,560 --> 00:25:14,400
Speaker 2: who would you rather have? Comp the best one actually

356
00:25:14,440 --> 00:25:19,119
Speaker 2: demands or the most interesting one is Jalen Hurts. And

357
00:25:19,160 --> 00:25:24,119
Speaker 2: the reason I say that is Jalen Hurts has the

358
00:25:24,160 --> 00:25:28,760
Speaker 2: playoff wins, the far better regular season record, the best

359
00:25:28,880 --> 00:25:31,919
Speaker 2: individual season any of them have had is his, you know,

360
00:25:32,000 --> 00:25:35,080
Speaker 2: his near MVP or a couple of years ago, all

361
00:25:35,119 --> 00:25:37,959
Speaker 2: of that, and I think there's a lot of people

362
00:25:38,359 --> 00:25:41,399
Speaker 2: my hands up as well, that would say, yeah, I

363
00:25:41,440 --> 00:25:45,040
Speaker 2: still probably think Justin Herbert's better. So that's like a

364
00:25:45,480 --> 00:25:49,480
Speaker 2: that's a that's about like eye test weapons, all, you know,

365
00:25:49,600 --> 00:25:54,320
Speaker 2: these different things. But that's a fair that's a fair discussion.

366
00:25:54,600 --> 00:25:56,840
Speaker 2: But I don't think many people are putting Justin Herbert

367
00:25:56,880 --> 00:25:59,639
Speaker 2: in Lamar's class. And I don't think many people are

368
00:25:59,640 --> 00:26:04,439
Speaker 2: putting Justin Herbert in the Kirk Cousins Tua class. I

369
00:26:04,480 --> 00:26:08,760
Speaker 2: think most people have a fair reading of Herbert. All right,

370
00:26:08,840 --> 00:26:10,040
Speaker 2: let's move on to the Chiefs.

371
00:26:10,840 --> 00:26:14,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, so another week, another close call for your Chiefs,

372
00:26:14,400 --> 00:26:17,200
Speaker 3: except this time it was against the Panthers. You guys

373
00:26:17,200 --> 00:26:20,119
Speaker 3: won by three points. You almost called this one exactly.

374
00:26:20,160 --> 00:26:22,600
Speaker 3: You said it'd be a four point victory for the Chiefs.

375
00:26:23,400 --> 00:26:26,600
Speaker 3: After the game, Mahomes said, you want to have some blowouts.

376
00:26:26,920 --> 00:26:29,280
Speaker 3: I would love to win a game before the very

377
00:26:29,359 --> 00:26:32,879
Speaker 3: last play. So even Mahomes sounds a little worried that

378
00:26:32,920 --> 00:26:35,480
Speaker 3: they can't jump up on these teams, you seem to

379
00:26:35,480 --> 00:26:37,640
Speaker 3: not be worried about it. Is there something there?

380
00:26:39,240 --> 00:26:41,920
Speaker 2: Well? I don't think he's worried. I think so. Wilds

381
00:26:41,920 --> 00:26:43,760
Speaker 2: also said he was worried. I disagree with that. I

382
00:26:43,800 --> 00:26:48,000
Speaker 2: think he's maybe a little annoyed. I don't think he's worried. No,

383
00:26:48,160 --> 00:26:52,800
Speaker 2: I mean this, there was a great tweet that I

384
00:26:52,840 --> 00:26:55,439
Speaker 2: wish I could give credit to who wrote it, but

385
00:26:55,560 --> 00:26:59,439
Speaker 2: it's exactly correct, and it was so well worded and

386
00:26:59,480 --> 00:27:03,440
Speaker 2: so fun, and it said, I don't care if you're

387
00:27:03,480 --> 00:27:07,520
Speaker 2: the best team in the NFL, an average NFL team,

388
00:27:07,840 --> 00:27:12,880
Speaker 2: an awful NFL team, a college team, or just your

389
00:27:12,960 --> 00:27:16,920
Speaker 2: local high school football team. There isn't a single team

390
00:27:16,960 --> 00:27:20,200
Speaker 2: in the world the Kansas City Chiefs can't beat by

391
00:27:20,320 --> 00:27:24,320
Speaker 2: exactly three points. And I was like, yeah, that's right, Like, yeah,

392
00:27:24,359 --> 00:27:29,000
Speaker 2: that's uh, that's exactly right. And it doesn't like the

393
00:27:29,440 --> 00:27:34,240
Speaker 2: Super Bowl against the Niners, Beacha by three, game against

394
00:27:34,240 --> 00:27:38,160
Speaker 2: the Panthers with Bryce Young comeback, Beacha by three, and

395
00:27:38,760 --> 00:27:45,200
Speaker 2: so I have we have growing, growing evidence that when

396
00:27:45,440 --> 00:27:48,280
Speaker 2: the Chiefs need to score, they score, as evidenced by

397
00:27:48,320 --> 00:27:51,480
Speaker 2: the fact that it's not even a story that once

398
00:27:51,520 --> 00:27:55,400
Speaker 2: again Mahomes gets the ball with a minute left and

399
00:27:55,840 --> 00:28:00,320
Speaker 2: did every just did everyone expect them to immediately drive

400
00:28:00,359 --> 00:28:03,160
Speaker 2: down the field and score or just me. Oh wait,

401
00:28:03,240 --> 00:28:08,879
Speaker 2: everybody did they? I I can only say this so

402
00:28:09,000 --> 00:28:11,760
Speaker 2: many Now, the defense the last two weeks has played

403
00:28:11,760 --> 00:28:14,399
Speaker 2: the two worst games it's played in two years. So

404
00:28:14,480 --> 00:28:17,480
Speaker 2: that needs to tighten up. Like there's they allowed thirty

405
00:28:17,480 --> 00:28:20,160
Speaker 2: and twenty seven. That's the most and second most points

406
00:28:20,160 --> 00:28:23,919
Speaker 2: they've allowed in two years, and it's in consecutive weeks.

407
00:28:24,320 --> 00:28:27,040
Speaker 2: Against the Bills, you can say you're playing a great offense. Fine,

408
00:28:27,280 --> 00:28:29,160
Speaker 2: against the Panthers, it's not a great game.

409
00:28:29,680 --> 00:28:31,080
Speaker 3: But I.

410
00:28:34,640 --> 00:28:41,959
Speaker 2: No. So here's the thing that compared to whom do

411
00:28:42,040 --> 00:28:45,240
Speaker 2: I think the Chiefs are clearly head and shoulders the

412
00:28:45,280 --> 00:28:47,640
Speaker 2: best team in the league. Yeah, So what would I

413
00:28:47,680 --> 00:28:51,800
Speaker 2: be worried about? Like, I just it is so much

414
00:28:52,040 --> 00:28:59,600
Speaker 2: of the Chiefs concern trolling is based on in order

415
00:28:59,680 --> 00:29:05,800
Speaker 2: to be concerned, people need to pretend things that didn't

416
00:29:05,880 --> 00:29:11,440
Speaker 2: happen did happen. So like, oh, I would be really

417
00:29:11,560 --> 00:29:15,760
Speaker 2: worried that Mahomes isn't gonna be the same player without

418
00:29:15,840 --> 00:29:21,160
Speaker 2: Tyreek Kill if he hadn't won League MVP the first

419
00:29:21,200 --> 00:29:25,880
Speaker 2: year without him. Oh, when they're kind of struggling and

420
00:29:25,960 --> 00:29:28,160
Speaker 2: not really struggling. They have the best record in the NFL,

421
00:29:28,520 --> 00:29:32,200
Speaker 2: but not wildly impressive in the regular season. I'd be

422
00:29:32,320 --> 00:29:37,360
Speaker 2: really worried about that if they hadn't been ten times

423
00:29:37,400 --> 00:29:41,640
Speaker 2: worst last regular season and won the Super Bowl. Oh,

424
00:29:42,120 --> 00:29:47,160
Speaker 2: they're playing all these close games against some mediocre teams.

425
00:29:47,760 --> 00:29:52,320
Speaker 2: I'd be really worried about that if they didn't always

426
00:29:52,840 --> 00:29:59,000
Speaker 2: literally win like people want them to have lost one

427
00:29:59,040 --> 00:30:03,920
Speaker 2: of these games, haven't now Listen, Buffalo is not Nobody

428
00:30:04,000 --> 00:30:07,240
Speaker 2: thought they played some terrible game in Buffalo. People like, hey,

429
00:30:07,280 --> 00:30:10,560
Speaker 2: Buffalo played a great game and beat them. That's another

430
00:30:10,600 --> 00:30:14,320
Speaker 2: excellent team. That's not what we're talking about talking about. Whah,

431
00:30:14,360 --> 00:30:18,520
Speaker 2: my goodness. Why did they almost lose to Denver but

432
00:30:18,600 --> 00:30:22,280
Speaker 2: they didn't. Why did they almost lose to Atlanta but

433
00:30:22,480 --> 00:30:26,240
Speaker 2: they didn't. Why did they almost lose to Cincinnati but

434
00:30:26,480 --> 00:30:30,280
Speaker 2: they didn't? And this, this Panthers game, is what I

435
00:30:30,320 --> 00:30:34,760
Speaker 2: would call demon's a fake close. And by fake close,

436
00:30:34,840 --> 00:30:38,360
Speaker 2: I mean this And this is a good just barometer

437
00:30:39,160 --> 00:30:46,280
Speaker 2: for any football game. Does the other team ever in

438
00:30:46,360 --> 00:30:48,760
Speaker 2: the fourth quarter in this in the Panthers game, it

439
00:30:48,760 --> 00:30:51,000
Speaker 2: would applied to the second half. It's called it fourth quarter.

440
00:30:51,560 --> 00:30:55,560
Speaker 2: Do they ever have the ball with a chance to

441
00:30:55,600 --> 00:31:00,479
Speaker 2: take the lead? So, is there ever a time that

442
00:31:00,560 --> 00:31:03,200
Speaker 2: the Panthers had the football where it's like, oh, if

443
00:31:03,200 --> 00:31:05,520
Speaker 2: they score a touchdown here they take the lead, and

444
00:31:05,560 --> 00:31:07,560
Speaker 2: they answer that question was no, not for the entire

445
00:31:07,600 --> 00:31:11,000
Speaker 2: second half. It was like the AFC Championship game against Baltimore.

446
00:31:11,720 --> 00:31:14,200
Speaker 2: Baltimore never once had the ball with a chance to

447
00:31:14,200 --> 00:31:16,880
Speaker 2: take the lead. So even if the final score is closed,

448
00:31:16,920 --> 00:31:18,920
Speaker 2: it's kind of fake close. You have the team at

449
00:31:19,000 --> 00:31:23,560
Speaker 2: arms distance the whole way, and I'm just I'm not

450
00:31:23,680 --> 00:31:29,000
Speaker 2: gonna listen to people saying here is how a team

451
00:31:29,160 --> 00:31:33,240
Speaker 2: going for a three peat is supposed to look. The

452
00:31:33,240 --> 00:31:35,040
Speaker 2: Patriots were last team to try to go for a

453
00:31:35,080 --> 00:31:37,280
Speaker 2: three peat. They went ten and six that year. It

454
00:31:37,400 --> 00:31:42,240
Speaker 2: was the worst regular season Brady had in twenty years. Okay,

455
00:31:42,800 --> 00:31:45,640
Speaker 2: the only team to come close to a three peat

456
00:31:46,200 --> 00:31:50,080
Speaker 2: the nineteen ninety San Francisco forty nine ers. They also

457
00:31:50,160 --> 00:31:53,920
Speaker 2: started ten to one. They all they middle of their season,

458
00:31:54,440 --> 00:31:58,040
Speaker 2: they had a field goal at the gun victory over

459
00:31:58,080 --> 00:32:00,800
Speaker 2: a three win team. They went four fourteen and two.

460
00:32:01,440 --> 00:32:04,880
Speaker 2: Seven of their wins were by four or fewer points.

461
00:32:05,120 --> 00:32:07,400
Speaker 2: There is no precedent for what the Chiefs are trying

462
00:32:07,440 --> 00:32:13,640
Speaker 2: to do, and they are discussed as if they haven't

463
00:32:13,760 --> 00:32:18,880
Speaker 2: simultaneously had one of the hardest schedules in football while

464
00:32:19,000 --> 00:32:23,280
Speaker 2: having the best record in football. They have beaten playoff

465
00:32:23,280 --> 00:32:30,560
Speaker 2: teams Chargers, Broncos, Ravens, Falcons. Only one team in the

466
00:32:30,640 --> 00:32:34,320
Speaker 2: league has more victories over playoff teams. No team in

467
00:32:34,360 --> 00:32:38,360
Speaker 2: the league has fewer losses. And so no, I'm just

468
00:32:40,160 --> 00:32:43,280
Speaker 2: I am And if there was any concern early, it

469
00:32:43,320 --> 00:32:46,080
Speaker 2: was like, what's up with Mahomes and riddle me this

470
00:32:46,840 --> 00:32:51,600
Speaker 2: since they acquired DeAndre Hopkins twelve touchdowns, three picks, a

471
00:32:51,680 --> 00:32:53,640
Speaker 2: one zero three rating, one of the best quarterbacks in

472
00:32:53,680 --> 00:32:57,560
Speaker 2: football immediately again, and they're not even playing DeAndre that much.

473
00:32:57,760 --> 00:33:00,120
Speaker 2: That's the other reason that the Chiefs are just playing

474
00:33:00,120 --> 00:33:03,440
Speaker 2: by a different a different game than everyone else. The

475
00:33:03,560 --> 00:33:08,720
Speaker 2: Chiefs traded Demands a fifth round pick for DeAndre Hopkins.

476
00:33:09,040 --> 00:33:12,880
Speaker 2: That turns into a fourth round pick if he plays

477
00:33:13,000 --> 00:33:16,040
Speaker 2: sixty percent of the snaps and they make the Super Bowl.

478
00:33:16,800 --> 00:33:20,640
Speaker 2: So you know what the Chiefs are not doing playing

479
00:33:20,680 --> 00:33:24,080
Speaker 2: DeAndre Hopkins sixty percent of the snaps. He had fewer

480
00:33:24,160 --> 00:33:28,520
Speaker 2: snaps than Justin Watson this week. Anybody think Justin Watson's

481
00:33:28,520 --> 00:33:31,680
Speaker 2: better than DeAndre Hopkins or with the Chiefs, like, let's

482
00:33:31,800 --> 00:33:37,360
Speaker 2: keep his snap count down. They are wild. Yeah, they

483
00:33:37,520 --> 00:33:41,320
Speaker 2: just added a left tackle. They're getting Pachecko back. They're

484
00:33:41,360 --> 00:33:44,840
Speaker 2: gonna get Hollywood Brown before Christmas. They're getting Charles a.

485
00:33:44,880 --> 00:33:48,280
Speaker 2: Minahu back. They're gonna have the best team up that

486
00:33:48,320 --> 00:33:51,960
Speaker 2: they've had all year in December. They have the best

487
00:33:51,960 --> 00:33:54,720
Speaker 2: record in football they've had. They've already gone through the

488
00:33:54,720 --> 00:33:55,880
Speaker 2: tough part of their schedule.

489
00:33:56,560 --> 00:33:59,280
Speaker 3: Now, with all that said, oh go ahead, Sorry, yeah,

490
00:33:59,280 --> 00:34:00,400
Speaker 3: because I tell you the can.

491
00:34:00,640 --> 00:34:02,440
Speaker 2: No and then and then you go ahead. With all

492
00:34:02,480 --> 00:34:07,840
Speaker 2: that said, I'm very, very excited for on Black Friday,

493
00:34:08,600 --> 00:34:11,400
Speaker 2: Aid and O'Connell to have the Raiders tied at halftime.

494
00:34:11,960 --> 00:34:15,000
Speaker 2: I can't wait for it. I really can't wait for it.

495
00:34:15,280 --> 00:34:17,080
Speaker 2: But what were you about to say go ahead?

496
00:34:17,440 --> 00:34:20,040
Speaker 3: I think what kills people? What kills people about your

497
00:34:20,080 --> 00:34:22,799
Speaker 3: chiefs taken? You're not worried this, that and the third?

498
00:34:22,880 --> 00:34:25,080
Speaker 3: You always say there's this gear that they can tap

499
00:34:25,120 --> 00:34:29,080
Speaker 3: into when it just doesn't seem like I get they're

500
00:34:29,120 --> 00:34:32,440
Speaker 3: winning the games, but do they truly have control? I

501
00:34:32,440 --> 00:34:35,000
Speaker 3: think there has to be something said about them not

502
00:34:35,080 --> 00:34:38,680
Speaker 3: having the ability to do it and to not blow

503
00:34:39,160 --> 00:34:41,000
Speaker 3: or not be in a close game with the Panthers

504
00:34:41,000 --> 00:34:41,960
Speaker 3: at the end, Like it's.

505
00:34:41,840 --> 00:34:47,000
Speaker 2: Like, go on, why I just listen. I until the NFL,

506
00:34:47,760 --> 00:34:50,480
Speaker 2: and I haven't checked. I know they changed the kickoff

507
00:34:50,560 --> 00:34:55,480
Speaker 2: rules until they changed to where margin of victory matters

508
00:34:56,360 --> 00:34:58,600
Speaker 2: like it's used to in college football. I don't know

509
00:34:58,640 --> 00:35:02,480
Speaker 2: what the fuck people are talking about like that. I mean,

510
00:35:02,520 --> 00:35:05,680
Speaker 2: it's just they And if people question do they have

511
00:35:05,719 --> 00:35:09,919
Speaker 2: an extra gear? I don't know. Man, how much time

512
00:35:10,000 --> 00:35:13,439
Speaker 2: was left when they got the people like, people can

513
00:35:13,520 --> 00:35:16,719
Speaker 2: question it, but the proof is in the putting of

514
00:35:17,200 --> 00:35:21,319
Speaker 2: whenever they have to score, they score. They got the

515
00:35:21,360 --> 00:35:23,759
Speaker 2: ball back with a minute and a half left, and

516
00:35:23,920 --> 00:35:27,680
Speaker 2: guess what, Oh my goodness, mahomes, you mean that scramble

517
00:35:27,840 --> 00:35:31,680
Speaker 2: was there the whole game? Like people think these things

518
00:35:31,719 --> 00:35:36,160
Speaker 2: are coincidence, like Chris Jones all of his sacks coming

519
00:35:36,600 --> 00:35:39,920
Speaker 2: in high leverage spots or in the fourth quarter, or

520
00:35:40,960 --> 00:35:46,399
Speaker 2: it does one of the greatest players ever. Understand all

521
00:35:46,440 --> 00:35:50,560
Speaker 2: sacks are not created equal. And if I'm playing this

522
00:35:51,239 --> 00:35:56,120
Speaker 2: right tackle or left guard in the first quarter and

523
00:35:56,239 --> 00:36:02,520
Speaker 2: I see, oh, I can beat him on this move

524
00:36:02,880 --> 00:36:06,920
Speaker 2: and then he'll adjust, I'm gonna wait and let him

525
00:36:06,920 --> 00:36:11,680
Speaker 2: think he's got me. Clyde Fraser used to say that

526
00:36:12,480 --> 00:36:16,440
Speaker 2: he would if he saw the guy he was guarding

527
00:36:16,920 --> 00:36:21,280
Speaker 2: had a ball handling weakness, he wouldn't exploit it early

528
00:36:21,920 --> 00:36:25,160
Speaker 2: because then the guy would adjust and then in a

529
00:36:25,239 --> 00:36:27,040
Speaker 2: high leverage spot, he wouldn't be able to go get

530
00:36:27,040 --> 00:36:31,240
Speaker 2: the steal. You guys think it's just coincidence that every

531
00:36:31,320 --> 00:36:34,480
Speaker 2: great Mahomes run you've ever seen comes in the fourth

532
00:36:34,520 --> 00:36:38,080
Speaker 2: quarter or on fourth down or on a critical third down,

533
00:36:38,640 --> 00:36:43,799
Speaker 2: or does he see it available and say, might not

534
00:36:43,960 --> 00:36:46,480
Speaker 2: need it, but if I do, I'm not wasting it

535
00:36:46,560 --> 00:36:50,640
Speaker 2: here that every Chris Jones play. I said going into

536
00:36:50,640 --> 00:36:54,280
Speaker 2: this week's game, my assumed stat line for Chris Jones

537
00:36:54,320 --> 00:36:57,360
Speaker 2: against the Panthers with zero tackle, zero sex. You know what,

538
00:36:57,440 --> 00:37:00,719
Speaker 2: he finished with zero tackle, zero sex. The other thing

539
00:37:00,800 --> 00:37:04,680
Speaker 2: is this when you're every year you're playing a twenty

540
00:37:04,719 --> 00:37:08,080
Speaker 2: game season and everyone else is planning for a seventeen

541
00:37:08,160 --> 00:37:14,760
Speaker 2: or eighteen game season. It's different. And so what actually

542
00:37:14,840 --> 00:37:19,200
Speaker 2: annoys people demands about my Chiefs take is last year,

543
00:37:19,760 --> 00:37:24,040
Speaker 2: because last year they actually lost games, and last year

544
00:37:24,360 --> 00:37:28,560
Speaker 2: they actually had problems, and last year they actually had

545
00:37:28,560 --> 00:37:32,040
Speaker 2: to go on the road, and last year the Bills

546
00:37:32,040 --> 00:37:35,719
Speaker 2: were red hot, the Ravens were the best Ravens team

547
00:37:35,840 --> 00:37:39,759
Speaker 2: of the lamar Era, and the Niners had a top defense,

548
00:37:40,080 --> 00:37:45,799
Speaker 2: top offense, almost MVP at quarterback check check check. And

549
00:37:45,840 --> 00:37:49,920
Speaker 2: so what annoys people is that last year I was

550
00:37:50,000 --> 00:37:53,200
Speaker 2: confident they had another gear and I was right, And

551
00:37:53,280 --> 00:37:56,279
Speaker 2: this year people are like, why isn't the team that's

552
00:37:56,320 --> 00:38:00,640
Speaker 2: ten to one better? And I think they're dumb. That's

553
00:38:00,680 --> 00:38:05,120
Speaker 2: the answer to those questions. Next. Oh, and by the way,

554
00:38:05,120 --> 00:38:08,960
Speaker 2: Bryce played well. Bryce played well. Good for him, he

555
00:38:09,000 --> 00:38:12,440
Speaker 2: made some high level throws, and I listen, I hope

556
00:38:12,440 --> 00:38:14,759
Speaker 2: that he can. You know my take on Bryce, it

557
00:38:14,880 --> 00:38:18,120
Speaker 2: is too small, but everybody loves him, so I hope

558
00:38:18,120 --> 00:38:21,600
Speaker 2: that he can, uh, you know, build something right.

559
00:38:21,640 --> 00:38:25,719
Speaker 3: Next, So you are no longer an NFC bachelor. You

560
00:38:25,800 --> 00:38:27,759
Speaker 3: settled down with the Eagles. They got that doub over

561
00:38:27,800 --> 00:38:31,000
Speaker 3: the Rams. But love is blinded you to come out

562
00:38:31,040 --> 00:38:34,399
Speaker 3: and say that Saquon Barkley should be the front runner

563
00:38:34,440 --> 00:38:37,160
Speaker 3: for MVP. Is that real love? Or are you just

564
00:38:37,239 --> 00:38:39,120
Speaker 3: fading Josh Allen on the MVP.

565
00:38:41,360 --> 00:38:43,640
Speaker 2: No, I listen, I right now, I think the MVP

566
00:38:43,800 --> 00:38:48,040
Speaker 2: should go like this. I think is here. I think

567
00:38:48,160 --> 00:38:51,319
Speaker 2: Josh is right on his heels beneath him. Here and

568
00:38:51,360 --> 00:38:54,480
Speaker 2: then I think there is a massive gap. I I

569
00:38:54,520 --> 00:38:56,719
Speaker 2: don't know who would be third. You could make an

570
00:38:56,800 --> 00:38:59,240
Speaker 2: argument for golf. You can make an argument for Derrick

571
00:38:59,280 --> 00:39:02,320
Speaker 2: Henry people, or you can make an argument for Lamar

572
00:39:03,960 --> 00:39:08,640
Speaker 2: No the you can make an argument is there anybody

573
00:39:08,640 --> 00:39:12,600
Speaker 2: else the there's one other person that I had just

574
00:39:12,680 --> 00:39:17,160
Speaker 2: said that I'm forgetting. But regardless like those are, you

575
00:39:17,520 --> 00:39:20,840
Speaker 2: can maybe sneaky make an argument somewhere on your ballot

576
00:39:20,840 --> 00:39:24,720
Speaker 2: for TJ. Watt for carrying that. You know the Steelers

577
00:39:24,760 --> 00:39:30,480
Speaker 2: where they are, so those are the but I am

578
00:39:30,600 --> 00:39:35,760
Speaker 2: not I'm not anti Josh. This year is I think evidence.

579
00:39:36,200 --> 00:39:40,040
Speaker 2: I just think Saquon, who I was dead wrong about,

580
00:39:40,600 --> 00:39:45,040
Speaker 2: is having a historic, all time great season. And this

581
00:39:45,160 --> 00:39:49,240
Speaker 2: Eagles team right now is really scary. Vic Fangio did

582
00:39:49,320 --> 00:39:53,000
Speaker 2: turn that defense around. So now you have an offense

583
00:39:53,040 --> 00:39:56,240
Speaker 2: that was good last year that until it all fell apart,

584
00:39:56,520 --> 00:39:59,799
Speaker 2: that's way better because of Saquon. You then have the

585
00:39:59,840 --> 00:40:05,640
Speaker 2: f defense and those rookie secondary guys in Quinn and

586
00:40:05,680 --> 00:40:09,399
Speaker 2: Mitchell and Cooper Dejen playing great, and man oh man,

587
00:40:09,440 --> 00:40:10,640
Speaker 2: that's a scary team.

588
00:40:10,440 --> 00:40:12,680
Speaker 3: Keeps again in the super Bowl.

589
00:40:13,080 --> 00:40:16,359
Speaker 2: That's my pick right now. So here's The other thing

590
00:40:16,960 --> 00:40:21,040
Speaker 2: that nobody that I tried to get into yesterday that

591
00:40:21,160 --> 00:40:23,520
Speaker 2: I just think warrants. I just want to remind the

592
00:40:23,600 --> 00:40:27,480
Speaker 2: audience here is what the Eagles have going for him.

593
00:40:28,840 --> 00:40:34,080
Speaker 2: Their floor of a seed is at this point, Demond's

594
00:40:34,360 --> 00:40:39,120
Speaker 2: the two seed. Like the NFC West in NFC South

595
00:40:39,200 --> 00:40:41,719
Speaker 2: Division winner is not gonna have a great record, and

596
00:40:41,760 --> 00:40:45,399
Speaker 2: with Washington having fallen apart, they are going to win

597
00:40:45,440 --> 00:40:50,000
Speaker 2: that division, so it might be tough for them to

598
00:40:50,040 --> 00:40:53,600
Speaker 2: get the one, but they can't fall past the two.

599
00:40:54,960 --> 00:40:59,160
Speaker 2: Detroit is in a different spot because right now Detroit

600
00:40:59,280 --> 00:41:01,319
Speaker 2: is the favorite for the one, and they should be,

601
00:41:01,960 --> 00:41:06,480
Speaker 2: but Minnesota is one game behind them and plays them

602
00:41:06,480 --> 00:41:09,640
Speaker 2: in the final game of the year. If Minnesota were

603
00:41:09,680 --> 00:41:15,000
Speaker 2: to catch them, Detroit falls to the five seed. So

604
00:41:15,239 --> 00:41:21,320
Speaker 2: like Detroit probably will be the one, but pretty easily

605
00:41:21,760 --> 00:41:25,759
Speaker 2: could if they just slip up for two games go

606
00:41:25,840 --> 00:41:29,520
Speaker 2: all the way to the five. And Jared Goff's road

607
00:41:29,600 --> 00:41:34,280
Speaker 2: to the Super Bowl being by Dome game, Dome game

608
00:41:35,120 --> 00:41:39,240
Speaker 2: versus what it would potentially be, which is no bye

609
00:41:39,880 --> 00:41:46,400
Speaker 2: on the road, you know, in lost, you know whoever

610
00:41:46,400 --> 00:41:50,840
Speaker 2: wins the NFC West and then on the road in Philly.

611
00:41:51,320 --> 00:41:54,160
Speaker 2: That's a and just to get to the NFC title game.

612
00:41:54,400 --> 00:41:59,040
Speaker 2: That's a different story. And so Detroit has looked awesome,

613
00:41:59,560 --> 00:42:02,960
Speaker 2: but Minnesota staying right on their heels at nine and

614
00:42:03,040 --> 00:42:07,759
Speaker 2: two makes Detroit a little more tenuous, while Philly has

615
00:42:07,840 --> 00:42:11,680
Speaker 2: no one on their heels because Washington's falling apart. So

616
00:42:11,800 --> 00:42:14,640
Speaker 2: I just think that that's another reason I like where

617
00:42:14,680 --> 00:42:15,200
Speaker 2: Philly is.

618
00:42:15,239 --> 00:42:17,719
Speaker 3: Go ahead, pal, Oh yeah, So on TV, you were

619
00:42:17,719 --> 00:42:20,879
Speaker 3: a jersey an Eagles jersey. Yeah, you just said something

620
00:42:21,560 --> 00:42:25,640
Speaker 3: weeks ago about not wearing jerseys as an adult. Yeah,

621
00:42:25,960 --> 00:42:26,319
Speaker 3: your job.

622
00:42:26,400 --> 00:42:29,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm a performer. Yeah. I also don't believe in

623
00:42:29,600 --> 00:42:34,360
Speaker 2: wearing you know, like fat suits and fake noses. But

624
00:42:34,400 --> 00:42:36,920
Speaker 2: I don't mind Colin Ferrell on the Penguin doing it.

625
00:42:37,440 --> 00:42:42,839
Speaker 2: He's playing a character. I mean, what are we talking about? Yes,

626
00:42:43,280 --> 00:42:45,800
Speaker 2: I was. I didn't wear that walking the streets of

627
00:42:45,920 --> 00:42:46,399
Speaker 2: New York.

628
00:42:46,840 --> 00:42:47,120
Speaker 3: I was.

629
00:42:47,320 --> 00:42:51,840
Speaker 2: I was playing a role on television which was really

630
00:42:52,080 --> 00:42:56,000
Speaker 2: trying to bother Brew and it worked because Bruce Bean

631
00:42:56,080 --> 00:42:59,000
Speaker 2: Eagles guy, Bruce Bean, the Saquon guy. But all of

632
00:42:59,040 --> 00:43:00,839
Speaker 2: a sudden, I'm wearing a set one jersey and I'm

633
00:43:00,840 --> 00:43:02,879
Speaker 2: picking them to go to the Super Bowl. So yeah,

634
00:43:03,040 --> 00:43:10,799
Speaker 2: I mean this is like the well, except he picked

635
00:43:10,840 --> 00:43:13,880
Speaker 2: the Packers to win the super Bowl and you're to

636
00:43:14,000 --> 00:43:15,840
Speaker 2: go to the super Bowl and he's not coming off it.

637
00:43:16,000 --> 00:43:19,880
Speaker 2: So I mean, he maybe had the foresight, but he

638
00:43:20,040 --> 00:43:22,560
Speaker 2: left that corner unguarded, and I came and snatched it

639
00:43:22,680 --> 00:43:24,760
Speaker 2: up from him. All right, let's talk a little CJ.

667
00:45:09,880 --> 00:45:13,120
Speaker 2: Thanksgiving bets the folks have cooked up for us. Also,

668
00:45:13,200 --> 00:45:15,840
Speaker 2: by the way, uh, we're gonna we've got to submit,

669
00:45:15,960 --> 00:45:20,800
Speaker 2: Demonse before tomorrow evening, our picks for this week and

670
00:45:21,200 --> 00:45:24,480
Speaker 2: your teaser. So I went four and one on the

671
00:45:24,520 --> 00:45:27,520
Speaker 2: Gambling Show by the way back above five hundred. Uh.

672
00:45:27,719 --> 00:45:31,080
Speaker 2: Demonse's teaser fell a little short. That's okay, it happens

673
00:45:31,960 --> 00:45:37,719
Speaker 2: both legs, one truly awful leg and one barely right.

674
00:45:38,480 --> 00:45:42,200
Speaker 2: The Chiefs were the barely half point. Yeah, and then yeah,

675
00:45:42,440 --> 00:45:45,480
Speaker 2: it's I mean pretty much. I mean yeah, the Dolphins

676
00:45:45,520 --> 00:45:49,440
Speaker 2: got passed. I mean they they're just cooked there the Patriots.

677
00:45:49,440 --> 00:45:54,080
Speaker 2: So I was when I saw I remembered that you

678
00:45:54,200 --> 00:45:58,440
Speaker 2: had the Chiefs minus three and a half, and it

679
00:45:58,719 --> 00:46:01,759
Speaker 2: made me because I didn't remember what the other leg

680
00:46:01,840 --> 00:46:02,680
Speaker 2: of your teaser was.

681
00:46:03,560 --> 00:46:04,080
Speaker 3: I was.

682
00:46:05,840 --> 00:46:08,640
Speaker 2: Hoping when I checked the document that it had lost

683
00:46:08,960 --> 00:46:11,560
Speaker 2: because I didn't want the Chiefs to have cost you

684
00:46:12,440 --> 00:46:17,160
Speaker 2: by yeah, because they especially Oh but hey man, yeah,

685
00:46:18,440 --> 00:46:20,200
Speaker 2: if only someone who told you it was gonna be

686
00:46:20,280 --> 00:46:22,319
Speaker 2: a three or four point game. All right, let's go ahead,

687
00:46:22,640 --> 00:46:23,680
Speaker 2: let's do CJ. Stroud.

688
00:46:24,280 --> 00:46:27,439
Speaker 3: So we hit on CJ slump a little bit earlier. So, yeah,

689
00:46:27,520 --> 00:46:30,320
Speaker 3: he's had a rough month without Nico Collins. New cons

690
00:46:30,440 --> 00:46:32,560
Speaker 3: is back, but he's in the AFC South, so he's

691
00:46:32,560 --> 00:46:34,840
Speaker 3: got a little bit of a cushion there. But before

692
00:46:34,920 --> 00:46:37,320
Speaker 3: the year, we had talked about green Bay and Houston,

693
00:46:37,760 --> 00:46:39,520
Speaker 3: in which team we thought was more likely to take

694
00:46:39,520 --> 00:46:42,600
Speaker 3: a step back or digress. You bought staking the Texans

695
00:46:43,480 --> 00:46:45,560
Speaker 3: and faded the Packers, who are now eight and three.

696
00:46:46,000 --> 00:46:47,640
Speaker 3: Do you regret your choice or do you think that

697
00:46:47,680 --> 00:46:50,640
Speaker 3: people are reading into the the CJ slump too deeply

698
00:46:50,760 --> 00:46:51,040
Speaker 3: right now?

699
00:46:53,280 --> 00:46:55,160
Speaker 2: No, I mean I think it's a real thing. I

700
00:46:55,360 --> 00:46:58,160
Speaker 2: I think that he's not playing great. He almost went

701
00:46:58,239 --> 00:47:00,640
Speaker 2: fuller lofski in the end zone run out the back.

702
00:47:00,719 --> 00:47:02,680
Speaker 2: He was lucky he got tackled because he was gonna

703
00:47:02,719 --> 00:47:04,960
Speaker 2: run out on his own, and the tackle made it

704
00:47:05,080 --> 00:47:09,839
Speaker 2: less embarrassing. Also, the offensive line's been brutal. I also

705
00:47:09,920 --> 00:47:12,200
Speaker 2: don't think the Packers are quite as good as their

706
00:47:12,200 --> 00:47:15,880
Speaker 2: eight and three records suggests. I think they're good, but

707
00:47:16,000 --> 00:47:19,000
Speaker 2: I don't think they are I don't think that the

708
00:47:19,120 --> 00:47:24,240
Speaker 2: Packers feel great about their last few weeks of football,

709
00:47:24,840 --> 00:47:28,000
Speaker 2: so like, obviously they feel great about the way they

710
00:47:28,040 --> 00:47:32,160
Speaker 2: annihilated the Niners, but the previous week they needed the

711
00:47:32,560 --> 00:47:35,560
Speaker 2: block field goal against the Bears. The Lions beat him

712
00:47:35,560 --> 00:47:38,960
Speaker 2: pretty soundly. The Jags game was super close, the Texans

713
00:47:39,000 --> 00:47:42,800
Speaker 2: game is super close, So I think they are maybe

714
00:47:42,920 --> 00:47:45,560
Speaker 2: a little shake year, and it's because Jordan Love hasn't

715
00:47:45,600 --> 00:47:49,200
Speaker 2: played quite to the level he played last year. So

716
00:47:49,960 --> 00:47:55,160
Speaker 2: I just thought it was people were. I thought super

717
00:47:55,239 --> 00:47:59,040
Speaker 2: Bowl for either of these teams was premature. Now, I

718
00:47:59,120 --> 00:48:01,279
Speaker 2: thought the Packers could missed the playoffs because I thought

719
00:48:01,719 --> 00:48:05,480
Speaker 2: the Bears were gonna be a playoff team in that division.

720
00:48:05,520 --> 00:48:07,600
Speaker 2: That obviously was wrong. You look confused, Monty.

721
00:48:07,600 --> 00:48:10,680
Speaker 3: I mean, put, Ye're talking about people that picked the

722
00:48:10,719 --> 00:48:12,719
Speaker 3: Texans in Green Bay to go to the super Bowl,

723
00:48:12,760 --> 00:48:14,920
Speaker 3: where premature. I mean you picked the Bears.

724
00:48:15,680 --> 00:48:19,920
Speaker 2: Like, yeah, well I was wrong about the Bears, I

725
00:48:20,000 --> 00:48:23,520
Speaker 2: mean the I mean, what what what what do you mean?

726
00:48:25,360 --> 00:48:27,759
Speaker 3: No? I was just like all right, yeah, no, I'm

727
00:48:27,800 --> 00:48:30,319
Speaker 3: sorry that the tone I got confused. My apologies.

728
00:48:30,920 --> 00:48:35,200
Speaker 2: No, I'm saying that I'm trying. Actually, I don't think

729
00:48:35,360 --> 00:48:41,400
Speaker 2: that the Packers or the Texans have like massively regressed.

730
00:48:41,920 --> 00:48:45,640
Speaker 2: I think they're very similar to the actual Caliar teams

731
00:48:45,719 --> 00:48:49,200
Speaker 2: they were last year. I just think because they both

732
00:48:49,320 --> 00:48:53,959
Speaker 2: won a playoff game in impressive fashion, they people thought

733
00:48:54,000 --> 00:48:56,640
Speaker 2: they were maybe gonna be a little ahead of the schedule.

734
00:48:56,680 --> 00:48:59,359
Speaker 2: They're actually on That's the only point that I'm making.

735
00:48:59,400 --> 00:49:04,480
Speaker 2: I'm not saying like it was a ridiculous, right, Yeah,

736
00:49:04,480 --> 00:49:08,200
Speaker 2: I know, I'm just I'm just saying that if if

737
00:49:08,239 --> 00:49:12,879
Speaker 2: you're judging either of these teams based on the they're disappointing.

738
00:49:12,920 --> 00:49:15,839
Speaker 2: If they're not a Super Bowl contender standard I gotta

739
00:49:15,920 --> 00:49:19,960
Speaker 2: kill this mosquito, then you're disappointed. If you're judging them

740
00:49:20,000 --> 00:49:23,239
Speaker 2: based on you know, they were on this great trajectory.

741
00:49:23,840 --> 00:49:26,000
Speaker 2: Did they level off a bit? But there are they?

742
00:49:26,120 --> 00:49:29,319
Speaker 2: Do you still feel good about them? Then it's different. Listen,

743
00:49:29,360 --> 00:49:31,160
Speaker 2: the Texan's got to clean a lot of things up,

744
00:49:31,600 --> 00:49:34,600
Speaker 2: and they need to spend some real resources on an

745
00:49:34,640 --> 00:49:37,520
Speaker 2: offensive line that's been a disaster this year. That's been

746
00:49:37,520 --> 00:49:39,680
Speaker 2: their biggest problem is their offensive line, and it's led

747
00:49:39,719 --> 00:49:43,279
Speaker 2: to some of CJ's skittishness. If you will, all right,

748
00:49:43,400 --> 00:49:47,279
Speaker 2: let's do the Thanksgiving uh whatever Thanksgiving game we're doing here.

749
00:49:48,120 --> 00:49:50,520
Speaker 3: Uh yeah, So much like at the Thanksgiving table, there

750
00:49:50,600 --> 00:49:53,520
Speaker 3: isn't enough room on your plate for every dish, So

751
00:49:53,600 --> 00:49:56,800
Speaker 3: we're gonna pass around some dishes aka bets, and you

752
00:49:56,960 --> 00:49:59,799
Speaker 3: saw what you want to put on your plate? Plate one?

753
00:50:00,120 --> 00:50:03,319
Speaker 3: Bet one, We've got a Caleb Williams props over two

754
00:50:03,400 --> 00:50:05,239
Speaker 3: hundred and twenty nine and a half pass yards at

755
00:50:05,280 --> 00:50:08,399
Speaker 3: minus one fifteen or over twenty nine and a half

756
00:50:08,520 --> 00:50:10,200
Speaker 3: rush yards at minus one fifteen.

757
00:50:11,680 --> 00:50:15,439
Speaker 2: Listen, I I actually would I like both of these

758
00:50:16,560 --> 00:50:19,840
Speaker 2: because he is running the ball more and I think, listen,

759
00:50:19,920 --> 00:50:23,160
Speaker 2: I think Chicago's gonna have to throw a lot. They're

760
00:50:23,160 --> 00:50:26,120
Speaker 2: playing Detroit on Thanksgiving. Detroit's gonna put up some points,

761
00:50:26,760 --> 00:50:31,160
Speaker 2: and so I wouldn't even mind parlaying these two. If

762
00:50:31,440 --> 00:50:35,239
Speaker 2: if I had to pick just one, I guess I

763
00:50:35,320 --> 00:50:38,759
Speaker 2: would probably pick the rushing yards. But I think he

764
00:50:38,880 --> 00:50:42,720
Speaker 2: could have a big statistical game. But that you expect

765
00:50:42,760 --> 00:50:44,520
Speaker 2: the Bears obviously to lose, all right.

766
00:50:44,640 --> 00:50:49,239
Speaker 3: Next bet two nap time New York Dallas. Either team

767
00:50:49,280 --> 00:50:53,160
Speaker 3: to score three unanswered times. Yes at minus one sixty

768
00:50:53,239 --> 00:50:56,640
Speaker 3: five and No at plus one twenty five.

769
00:50:58,120 --> 00:51:01,320
Speaker 2: So the three straight scores bet. That's always seem like

770
00:51:01,600 --> 00:51:03,960
Speaker 2: NO should be the favorite, and Yes is always the

771
00:51:04,080 --> 00:51:09,000
Speaker 2: favorite because it happens more often than people think. I

772
00:51:09,239 --> 00:51:12,520
Speaker 2: actually would go with No on this one because I

773
00:51:12,719 --> 00:51:16,120
Speaker 2: just think this is gonna be a lot of punts

774
00:51:16,200 --> 00:51:20,440
Speaker 2: and quick drives, because both I know the Cowboys offense

775
00:51:20,480 --> 00:51:24,440
Speaker 2: look good this week, but Tommy DeVito Cooper rush is

776
00:51:24,520 --> 00:51:28,080
Speaker 2: not exactly gonna be a scoring bonanza. And by the way,

777
00:51:28,120 --> 00:51:30,239
Speaker 2: the Kleeb thing, I can get plus two fifty if

778
00:51:30,280 --> 00:51:32,680
Speaker 2: I parlay them both it's not the greatest odds in

779
00:51:32,719 --> 00:51:34,080
Speaker 2: the world. That's fine, but go ahead.

780
00:51:35,120 --> 00:51:37,600
Speaker 3: Bet three werecalling this one fading two in the cold

781
00:51:38,200 --> 00:51:40,719
Speaker 3: got two at under two and forty one and a

782
00:51:40,760 --> 00:51:43,880
Speaker 3: half yards and under one and a half touchdowns at

783
00:51:43,880 --> 00:51:45,040
Speaker 3: plus one fifty.

784
00:51:47,360 --> 00:51:50,160
Speaker 2: So I would I'm not gonna do the under tds.

785
00:51:50,360 --> 00:51:53,160
Speaker 2: I would do the underyards. Here's what I'm gonna say

786
00:51:53,200 --> 00:51:57,680
Speaker 2: about two in the cold. It is up to Mike

787
00:51:57,800 --> 00:52:03,240
Speaker 2: McDaniel to set the standard that it's gonna not bother

788
00:52:03,400 --> 00:52:06,880
Speaker 2: his team. So Mike McDaniel can't be bundled up like

789
00:52:07,000 --> 00:52:11,920
Speaker 2: a snowman. Mike McDaniel's gotta gotta set the tone, and

790
00:52:12,440 --> 00:52:17,160
Speaker 2: in that Chiefs playoff game, he looked so miserable that

791
00:52:17,320 --> 00:52:19,680
Speaker 2: it set a tone for his team that the weather's

792
00:52:19,719 --> 00:52:23,120
Speaker 2: going to be an excuse and he needs to set

793
00:52:23,160 --> 00:52:27,000
Speaker 2: a different tone here. So I know that sounds crazy,

794
00:52:27,560 --> 00:52:31,600
Speaker 2: but there was a real difference between Andy Reid wearing

795
00:52:31,840 --> 00:52:35,440
Speaker 2: just his regular winter clothes, even though he had literal

796
00:52:35,920 --> 00:52:39,160
Speaker 2: icicles forming on his mustache in that playoff game, and

797
00:52:39,360 --> 00:52:42,879
Speaker 2: Mike McDaniel looking like he wanted to be anywhere other

798
00:52:42,960 --> 00:52:45,319
Speaker 2: than where he was. Now, I understand that was one

799
00:52:45,360 --> 00:52:48,480
Speaker 2: of the coldest games ever, I understand. And Andy Reid's

800
00:52:48,520 --> 00:52:55,239
Speaker 2: got more natural I get it, I understand, But it's

801
00:52:55,280 --> 00:52:59,120
Speaker 2: still he needs to It's such a thing for his

802
00:52:59,320 --> 00:53:02,239
Speaker 2: team that he has to shake no pun intended the

803
00:53:02,320 --> 00:53:05,520
Speaker 2: snow globe a bit here, all right, Let's do a

804
00:53:05,600 --> 00:53:07,920
Speaker 2: couple of these other special bets from DraftKings. See if

805
00:53:07,920 --> 00:53:08,719
Speaker 2: I like any of them.

806
00:53:09,680 --> 00:53:13,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, Lamb Cutlets Ceedee Lamb and Tommy DeVito to combine

807
00:53:13,840 --> 00:53:17,360
Speaker 3: for four hundred plus passing, receiving and rushing yards at

808
00:53:17,400 --> 00:53:18,240
Speaker 3: plus three fifty.

809
00:53:19,640 --> 00:53:21,360
Speaker 2: I hate that bet. I hate it.

810
00:53:21,560 --> 00:53:22,680
Speaker 3: I hate it. I hate it.

811
00:53:22,840 --> 00:53:24,680
Speaker 2: I will not be a part of that bet. So

812
00:53:24,800 --> 00:53:27,680
Speaker 2: what would that mean that? Let's say Ceedee Lamb has

813
00:53:27,719 --> 00:53:31,320
Speaker 2: a monster game, he has one hundred and fifty yards.

814
00:53:31,880 --> 00:53:34,400
Speaker 2: I need two hundred and fifty yards from Tommy DeVito.

815
00:53:34,560 --> 00:53:39,480
Speaker 3: No thanks, Next, invite the neighbors mylik neighbors to have

816
00:53:39,640 --> 00:53:43,480
Speaker 3: two plus receptions in each quarter at plus twenty two hundred.

817
00:53:44,120 --> 00:53:47,800
Speaker 2: Hey, no, I don't like that bet, I either like Again,

818
00:53:47,920 --> 00:53:51,799
Speaker 2: that's relying too much of it there, Tommy DeVito. And also,

819
00:53:51,920 --> 00:53:53,880
Speaker 2: I'm gonna say something. I'm gonna give an old man

820
00:53:53,960 --> 00:53:57,120
Speaker 2: take real quick, Malik Neighbors is too young to already

821
00:53:57,160 --> 00:54:02,200
Speaker 2: be a deva wide Receiverlik the Molik Neighbors can't be

822
00:54:02,960 --> 00:54:06,279
Speaker 2: lighten his coach up, lighten his quarterback up. You've been

823
00:54:06,280 --> 00:54:08,640
Speaker 2: in a league a dozen games. I think he's gonna

824
00:54:08,640 --> 00:54:11,440
Speaker 2: be a great player, and I think he's excellent. I

825
00:54:11,560 --> 00:54:16,040
Speaker 2: understand his frustration, but that is also a cultural problem

826
00:54:16,160 --> 00:54:21,719
Speaker 2: for the Giants that they that he thinks that's allowed. Like, sorry, man,

827
00:54:22,239 --> 00:54:26,360
Speaker 2: you're you're you haven't yet done, and you I understand,

828
00:54:26,520 --> 00:54:29,600
Speaker 2: Like diva wide receiver is almost like something that's just

829
00:54:29,719 --> 00:54:32,680
Speaker 2: totally accepted and we're fine with it. You're not Jamar

830
00:54:32,800 --> 00:54:38,080
Speaker 2: Chase yet. Bro, You're just not And the your your

831
00:54:38,160 --> 00:54:40,560
Speaker 2: teammates weren't lighting you up whenning I think it was

832
00:54:40,680 --> 00:54:43,520
Speaker 2: Game two, you dropped a pass that would ice the

833
00:54:43,600 --> 00:54:46,960
Speaker 2: game and they lost. Like you got It's too early,

834
00:54:47,520 --> 00:54:49,920
Speaker 2: too early in your career for that, in my opinion.

835
00:54:50,000 --> 00:54:54,480
Speaker 3: All right, Next, the meat sweats Montes sweat to have

836
00:54:54,640 --> 00:54:56,399
Speaker 3: two plus x plus eight.

837
00:54:56,440 --> 00:54:59,680
Speaker 2: Hundred at eight to one. I'll take a little taste

838
00:54:59,719 --> 00:55:02,680
Speaker 2: at that. I don't mind that. See if the see

839
00:55:02,680 --> 00:55:05,399
Speaker 2: if you can get a Lion's got a great offensive line.

840
00:55:05,440 --> 00:55:07,279
Speaker 2: But see if Montes Sweat can get going. I don't

841
00:55:07,320 --> 00:55:08,440
Speaker 2: mind that one, but go ahead.

842
00:55:09,239 --> 00:55:12,880
Speaker 3: Uh for Black Friday Raiders Chiefs, will the team that

843
00:55:13,040 --> 00:55:16,640
Speaker 3: scores last win the game? Yes? At minus two eighty

844
00:55:16,719 --> 00:55:19,399
Speaker 3: five and no at plus two oh five?

845
00:55:21,800 --> 00:55:24,120
Speaker 2: I mean I would, I I know, I'm not interested

846
00:55:24,160 --> 00:55:28,200
Speaker 2: in that bet, Like that's to me, that's I guess

847
00:55:29,400 --> 00:55:32,279
Speaker 2: I if I know there's two from minus two eighty

848
00:55:32,320 --> 00:55:35,920
Speaker 2: to plus two five. No, yeah, no, no, no, I'm

849
00:55:35,960 --> 00:55:38,680
Speaker 2: not interested in that bet. All right, real quick, let's

850
00:55:38,719 --> 00:55:40,799
Speaker 2: play this game because then I got a run. We'll

851
00:55:40,840 --> 00:55:42,879
Speaker 2: do some listener questions too, but we're gonna roll through

852
00:55:42,960 --> 00:55:43,520
Speaker 2: this demanse.

853
00:55:44,080 --> 00:55:46,120
Speaker 3: Yeah. So we're deep enough into the seasons to know

854
00:55:46,200 --> 00:55:49,080
Speaker 3: how teams, how good teams really are aren't but there

855
00:55:49,120 --> 00:55:51,600
Speaker 3: are still a few mysteries out there. What is the

856
00:55:51,680 --> 00:55:54,480
Speaker 3: biggest question mark you still have for each of these contenders?

857
00:55:54,760 --> 00:55:57,400
Speaker 3: First off, Lamar is in the thick of the MVP

858
00:55:57,560 --> 00:56:00,799
Speaker 3: discussion still, but even at eight and four, Baltimore shown

859
00:56:00,800 --> 00:56:03,239
Speaker 3: there is shaky at times. What is the biggest question

860
00:56:03,400 --> 00:56:04,440
Speaker 3: still facing the Ravens.

861
00:56:06,239 --> 00:56:10,279
Speaker 2: Well, listen, I don't We've talked enough about Lamar. The

862
00:56:10,320 --> 00:56:14,279
Speaker 2: biggest question is for the Ravens is the defense that

863
00:56:14,400 --> 00:56:16,839
Speaker 2: showed up last night gonna be their real defense, because

864
00:56:16,840 --> 00:56:19,160
Speaker 2: if it is, they got a fighting chance. Like the

865
00:56:19,239 --> 00:56:21,600
Speaker 2: defense have been brutal last night, the defense showed some

866
00:56:21,719 --> 00:56:24,680
Speaker 2: real fight even without Rokwan Smith, so that was a

867
00:56:24,880 --> 00:56:25,799
Speaker 2: very positive sign.

868
00:56:25,960 --> 00:56:28,960
Speaker 3: Next h San Francisco is now plus four hundred to

869
00:56:29,000 --> 00:56:32,279
Speaker 3: make the playoffs. It's crazy, but they're only a game

870
00:56:32,360 --> 00:56:35,000
Speaker 3: back in the crowded West. Answering a big question or

871
00:56:35,040 --> 00:56:36,880
Speaker 3: two could turn things around for them. But what is

872
00:56:36,960 --> 00:56:40,640
Speaker 3: the big question still facing the Niners? Well?

873
00:56:40,960 --> 00:56:43,680
Speaker 2: How healthy is Party? And then the other the big

874
00:56:43,840 --> 00:56:45,960
Speaker 2: question is if they missed the playoffs, do they pay

875
00:56:46,040 --> 00:56:50,360
Speaker 2: Party this offseason or do they wait? You is unsurprisingly no,

876
00:56:50,520 --> 00:56:53,960
Speaker 2: I would wait and see what he looks like next year,

877
00:56:54,080 --> 00:56:55,880
Speaker 2: see if we you know, if he looks more like

878
00:56:56,000 --> 00:57:00,440
Speaker 2: this year or more like he did last season. And

879
00:57:01,520 --> 00:57:04,080
Speaker 2: the reason that their playoff odds are so bad is

880
00:57:04,160 --> 00:57:07,759
Speaker 2: because they're in such a bad shape from divisional tiebreakers.

881
00:57:08,480 --> 00:57:14,000
Speaker 2: Is if they are tied with any team atop the division,

882
00:57:14,480 --> 00:57:17,280
Speaker 2: they're gonna lose that tie breaker. So they need to

883
00:57:17,320 --> 00:57:20,640
Speaker 2: finish with the best record with nobody having the same record,

884
00:57:20,680 --> 00:57:22,560
Speaker 2: and that's gonna be tough for them, especially with the

885
00:57:22,600 --> 00:57:24,160
Speaker 2: schedule they have. I mean they have a game against

886
00:57:24,200 --> 00:57:26,280
Speaker 2: Buffalo coming up this weekend next.

887
00:57:27,320 --> 00:57:31,000
Speaker 3: The Yeah, so the forty nine Ers are the only

888
00:57:31,040 --> 00:57:33,560
Speaker 3: struggling team in the ANFC West. The Rams are in

889
00:57:33,600 --> 00:57:36,320
Speaker 3: the same boat after falling apart on Sunday night versus

890
00:57:36,400 --> 00:57:39,480
Speaker 3: the Eagles. What is the big question still facing the Rams?

891
00:57:40,640 --> 00:57:42,760
Speaker 2: I mean, can they have a second half the way

892
00:57:42,800 --> 00:57:45,720
Speaker 2: they did last year? Terrible open to the season last year,

893
00:57:45,720 --> 00:57:47,919
Speaker 2: then we're red hot going in the playoffs. I still

894
00:57:48,000 --> 00:57:49,960
Speaker 2: want to believe in the Rams because I believe in

895
00:57:50,040 --> 00:57:53,439
Speaker 2: Stafford so much. But they're digging themselves quite the hole.

896
00:57:53,560 --> 00:57:55,840
Speaker 2: And it's not just that they lost to Philly. It's

897
00:57:55,880 --> 00:57:58,040
Speaker 2: that they you know, they let go of the rope

898
00:57:58,080 --> 00:57:59,680
Speaker 2: and let Saquon kill them next.

899
00:58:00,920 --> 00:58:04,120
Speaker 3: Washington has gone from being the eighteen to falling apart

900
00:58:04,160 --> 00:58:06,560
Speaker 3: over the last month. On this past week, they even

901
00:58:06,600 --> 00:58:09,720
Speaker 3: blew it to to the tanking Cowboys by missing the

902
00:58:11,040 --> 00:58:14,800
Speaker 3: point I'm sorry, the extra point. Yeah. What is the

903
00:58:14,840 --> 00:58:16,480
Speaker 3: big question still facing the Commanders?

904
00:58:17,800 --> 00:58:21,720
Speaker 2: I mean, how close are they to bottom? Because they

905
00:58:21,920 --> 00:58:25,240
Speaker 2: should still make the playoffs and their next two are

906
00:58:25,320 --> 00:58:27,959
Speaker 2: the Titans and the Saints, and the Saints are after

907
00:58:28,040 --> 00:58:30,720
Speaker 2: a bye, so they should be able to steady themselves.

908
00:58:31,040 --> 00:58:34,120
Speaker 2: But if they lose against the Titans and they go

909
00:58:34,280 --> 00:58:37,280
Speaker 2: into the bye at seven and six after starting seven

910
00:58:37,320 --> 00:58:42,800
Speaker 2: and two, then could be real trouble. And also Jaden

911
00:58:42,840 --> 00:58:45,200
Speaker 2: could lose Rookie of the Year to bow Nicks. So

912
00:58:45,920 --> 00:58:47,280
Speaker 2: there's that piece of it as well.

913
00:58:48,680 --> 00:58:52,960
Speaker 3: All right, next, Uh you one time NFC sweetheart pairs

914
00:58:53,000 --> 00:58:56,240
Speaker 3: have collapsed with many left pointing the finger at Caleb

915
00:58:56,280 --> 00:59:00,120
Speaker 3: Williams Chicago. Isn't the continder you thought they were? We

916
00:59:00,200 --> 00:59:02,400
Speaker 3: expect them to clean the house. So what do they

917
00:59:02,480 --> 00:59:04,920
Speaker 3: then do? What is the biggest question still facing the

918
00:59:05,000 --> 00:59:05,960
Speaker 3: Bears going forward?

919
00:59:08,080 --> 00:59:14,160
Speaker 2: Uh? Who's gonna be their next head coach? And that's

920
00:59:14,320 --> 00:59:17,320
Speaker 2: the only question that really matters because ebra Flus is

921
00:59:17,360 --> 00:59:20,200
Speaker 2: gonna get fired And can they probably Ben Johnson away

922
00:59:20,760 --> 00:59:23,680
Speaker 2: from the Lions, weaken the Lions and make themselves better?

923
00:59:24,040 --> 00:59:27,120
Speaker 2: That's that's the big question. Like that to me is

924
00:59:27,600 --> 00:59:31,080
Speaker 2: no question that that is their single biggest question. All right,

925
00:59:31,160 --> 00:59:32,560
Speaker 2: quick break, right back? What's right?

926
00:59:38,240 --> 00:59:38,560
Speaker 3: All right?

927
00:59:38,600 --> 00:59:41,040
Speaker 2: Welcome back in What's right with Nick right Demansey, Let's

928
00:59:41,040 --> 00:59:42,480
Speaker 2: answer a few listener questions.

929
00:59:43,800 --> 00:59:47,160
Speaker 3: Scott Murphy, should the NBA try to encroach on Thanksgiving,

930
00:59:47,240 --> 00:59:49,880
Speaker 3: like the NFL is done with Christmas. There's always at

931
00:59:50,000 --> 00:59:53,080
Speaker 3: least one bad game that they could have potentially steal

932
00:59:53,160 --> 00:59:53,640
Speaker 3: viewers from.

933
00:59:55,000 --> 00:59:56,840
Speaker 2: I No, I don't. I don't think that would be

934
00:59:56,840 --> 00:59:59,800
Speaker 2: a good idea. I think that would be a big

935
01:00:00,040 --> 01:00:03,920
Speaker 2: owl for the NBA. And listen, the NFL is just

936
01:00:04,040 --> 01:00:06,680
Speaker 2: taking people's corners. There's nothing you can really do about it.

937
01:00:07,240 --> 01:00:09,800
Speaker 2: So no, I don't. I don't think that they should

938
01:00:10,600 --> 01:00:13,240
Speaker 2: uh try to encroach on Thanksgiving. I think it's smart

939
01:00:14,280 --> 01:00:17,160
Speaker 2: to not try to start a fight they can't win.

940
01:00:17,360 --> 01:00:22,080
Speaker 3: Next Alex Magley despite the poor coaching from Tomlin and

941
01:00:22,240 --> 01:00:25,080
Speaker 3: Arthur Smith against Cleveland, do you see the Steelers as

942
01:00:25,120 --> 01:00:27,320
Speaker 3: a potential opponent for the Chiefs or Bills in the

943
01:00:27,400 --> 01:00:28,680
Speaker 3: AFC Championship game?

944
01:00:29,720 --> 01:00:31,640
Speaker 2: Listen, I don't. I don't think the Steelers can be

945
01:00:31,760 --> 01:00:37,880
Speaker 2: dismissed because every game is gonna be close. And listen,

946
01:00:37,960 --> 01:00:40,480
Speaker 2: the Steelers are gonna play a low scoring, close game

947
01:00:40,600 --> 01:00:42,720
Speaker 2: against the worst teams in the league, the best teams

948
01:00:42,760 --> 01:00:45,240
Speaker 2: in the league, and the mediocre teams, and TJ. Watt

949
01:00:45,360 --> 01:00:49,000
Speaker 2: can wrect games. Listen. I find this steel I think,

950
01:00:49,080 --> 01:00:52,120
Speaker 2: But I think Kansity is clearly the best. I think

951
01:00:52,160 --> 01:00:56,200
Speaker 2: Buffalo is clearly the biggest threat. But I put the

952
01:00:56,240 --> 01:00:58,520
Speaker 2: Steelers on the same level as the Ravens and the

953
01:00:58,640 --> 01:01:01,600
Speaker 2: Chargers though as like, I don't think they're worse than

954
01:01:01,640 --> 01:01:04,440
Speaker 2: those teams personally. All right, next.

955
01:01:05,760 --> 01:01:08,360
Speaker 3: Travis Rodgers. What does Jared Goff need to do to

956
01:01:08,440 --> 01:01:11,800
Speaker 3: win win MVP? Keep maintaining and hope the others slip.

957
01:01:13,320 --> 01:01:15,960
Speaker 2: Well, yeah, yeah, he has to maintain and I think

958
01:01:16,080 --> 01:01:19,320
Speaker 2: he does need Josh Allen to slip up quite a bit.

959
01:01:20,680 --> 01:01:24,760
Speaker 2: Here's the thing, because the MVP has become something you

960
01:01:24,840 --> 01:01:28,320
Speaker 2: know what, I'm gonna amend my answer. He probably what

961
01:01:28,560 --> 01:01:31,080
Speaker 2: he needs to do to win MVP because I don't

962
01:01:31,080 --> 01:01:33,840
Speaker 2: think they're gonna give it to a running back. Maybe

963
01:01:33,880 --> 01:01:36,640
Speaker 2: they will, but it's been a dozen years. They play

964
01:01:36,720 --> 01:01:42,960
Speaker 2: the Bills on national TV in three weeks December fifteenth,

965
01:01:44,240 --> 01:01:51,800
Speaker 2: the and if they win that game, honestly, it'll probably

966
01:01:51,920 --> 01:01:55,920
Speaker 2: be Jared Goff's award, Like that's just kind of how

967
01:01:56,040 --> 01:01:59,080
Speaker 2: this goes. And so they play the Bills. If he

968
01:01:59,240 --> 01:02:02,280
Speaker 2: plays well in the win that game, I think he

969
01:02:02,360 --> 01:02:04,720
Speaker 2: can win MVP. I don't love that. It just kind

970
01:02:04,720 --> 01:02:06,840
Speaker 2: of like, oh, they played late and this guy won,

971
01:02:07,000 --> 01:02:09,360
Speaker 2: but that's how the voting went last year, and so

972
01:02:09,440 --> 01:02:12,720
Speaker 2: it might go like that again. All right, last one, WX.

973
01:02:13,400 --> 01:02:17,080
Speaker 3: You always criticize Siriani, but to quote you, I don't

974
01:02:17,120 --> 01:02:20,240
Speaker 3: believe in quarterback wins, but I do believe in coaching wins.

975
01:02:20,320 --> 01:02:23,280
Speaker 3: In quote, why won't you give him credit for how

976
01:02:23,360 --> 01:02:23,920
Speaker 3: much he's won?

977
01:02:25,680 --> 01:02:30,120
Speaker 2: Listen, it's a good argument. I always say wins are

978
01:02:30,160 --> 01:02:32,120
Speaker 2: a coaching stat and he's one of the winning as

979
01:02:32,240 --> 01:02:37,640
Speaker 2: coaches ever, so that is a great argument using my

980
01:02:37,840 --> 01:02:41,080
Speaker 2: own definitions against me. So well done, sir. The answer

981
01:02:41,160 --> 01:02:43,280
Speaker 2: that question is I just don't think he's very good.

982
01:02:43,880 --> 01:02:47,960
Speaker 2: I'm sorry, like I I think, I just don't think

983
01:02:47,960 --> 01:02:50,800
Speaker 2: he's very good. But you're right, by the way I

984
01:02:51,000 --> 01:02:54,320
Speaker 2: judge coaches, I should think he's excellent. I just don't

985
01:02:54,680 --> 01:02:57,959
Speaker 2: have a great Thanksgiving. Everyone. Check our socials four hour
