Speaker 1: Welcome in. We'll driving the Great episode three eighty seven.
Speaker 1: This episode, as always, is presented to you by our
Speaker 1: friends at boost Mobile. Demn's a huge show today. We're
Speaker 1: actually hitting three sports. Obviously, Chiefs Bills, game of the weekend,
Speaker 1: the midpoint of the NFL regular season was last night
Speaker 1: in a somewhat underwhelming Monday night football game, So we'll
Speaker 1: get to all of that. There is something I need
Speaker 1: to say about. This is kind of a takes on
Speaker 1: takes segment, but it's also about Brownie James, and we're
Speaker 1: gonna get to a little NBA later in the show,
Speaker 1: and right near the top of the show, we're gonna
Speaker 1: do World Series stuff because it'll be brief because I
Speaker 1: know people want to hear my potential pain about Chiefs Bills,
Speaker 1: but I don't know how as a sports fan you
Speaker 1: get over that loss if you're the Blue Jays. So
Speaker 1: we will get to all of that over the next hours.
Speaker 1: So how are you doing this morning?
Speaker 2: I'm doing pretty good, Pops. How you doing?
Speaker 1: I'm doing good, Excited for the show, Excited for I
Speaker 1: have a trick planned for first things first today that
Speaker 1: I don't want to reveal because I don't want anyone
Speaker 1: to spoil it, but there is. I'm very excited for
Speaker 1: the TV show and well again we'll talk about what
Speaker 1: we might revisit this on Thursday. But today the TV show,
Speaker 1: hopefully always, is pretty good. Today I have something special planned,
Speaker 1: so I'm excited for that and excited to talk to
Speaker 1: you guys. By the way, reminder to everyone, please like, rate, subscribe,
Speaker 1: review to the pod to our channel. It really does
Speaker 1: help us out. It lets you know when we go live,
Speaker 1: do three or four of these a week. Subscribe on YouTube,
Speaker 1: subscribe on iTunes, Spotify, all of that right now, quickly
Speaker 1: straight the voicemail brought to you by our friend at
Speaker 1: boost Mobile. The Dolphins part ways with General Andrew Chris Greer,
Speaker 1: and that is likely going to be phase one of
Speaker 1: a three phase teardown. Chris Greer will be first. Mike McDaniel,
Speaker 1: I know there is some reporting, if you can call
Speaker 1: NFL insiders reporting these days. By the way, thank god
Speaker 1: Jade and Daniel who we saw his elbow go backwards.
Speaker 1: The insiders explained to us, not as bad as it
Speaker 1: could have been. Man. That's so fortunate because so often
Speaker 1: those NFL insiders say to us, holy shit, that injury
Speaker 1: is way worse than we thought. Man, oh man, I
Speaker 1: mean we are on a seven hundred injury streak in
Speaker 1: a row streak of you know what could have been worse.
Speaker 1: So that's the talk about Jaden. I feel sick for Jaden. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and we'll get to that later because this is where
Speaker 1: I have to wear the black hat and have the
Speaker 1: unpopular take that everyone knows is correct. But we will
Speaker 1: wait on that. So how did I even get there?
Speaker 1: I don't even remember know how we got there?
Speaker 2: Uh oh?
Speaker 1: Because I was saying the insiders were saying Mike McDaniel's
Speaker 1: job might be safe. I would be shocked by that.
Speaker 1: So Chris Breer is part one, Mike McDaniel's Part two,
Speaker 1: and then two of course is part three job back
Speaker 1: from his suspension. He's he's gonna blow it. He's gonna
Speaker 1: blow the whole thing. And this is where I once
Speaker 1: again Demon's present my mercurial talented but underachieving Southeastern point
Speaker 1: guard three way trade where John Moran goes to Charlotte,
Speaker 1: Lamello goes to Atlanta, and Trey Young goes to Memphis.
Speaker 1: I asked, once again, who says no? Like?
Speaker 2: Why is well?
Speaker 1: Can we please just.
Speaker 2: Send new scenery.
Speaker 1: Everybody needs some new scenery. Listen, Atlanta probably is like
Speaker 1: we would rather have Job than Trey All I'm sorry,
Speaker 1: rather have Jovan LaMelo. The problem is we're not fixing
Speaker 1: jobs problems by sending him from Memphis to Atlanta. I
Speaker 1: think the Appalachian Mountains in North Carolina could do him
Speaker 1: some good. And Cam Little hits a sixty eight yard
Speaker 1: field goal, and his record barely stood for a day
Speaker 1: because Brandon Aubrey tried to beat it last night. All right, Demante,
Speaker 1: before we get to Bill Chiefs, before we get to
Speaker 1: Bronni in the rest of week nine, let's do a
Speaker 1: little World Series.
Speaker 2: So we obviously had a crazy weekend of NFL football,
Speaker 2: but yeah, the World Series came to a conclusion on Saturday.
Speaker 2: It was a crazy Game seven, so let's talk about yeah.
Speaker 1: So listen, Congrats to the Dodgers. Congrats to anyone who
Speaker 1: took my advice given on this pod and on TV
Speaker 1: that I did not take. And I am sick to
Speaker 1: my stomach on when I said before the World Series
Speaker 1: on this pod that Yamamoto at thirty two to one
Speaker 1: to win MVP, I thought was decent. And then after
Speaker 1: Game two and then Thursday before Game five on this pod,
Speaker 1: I said Yamamoto was still sixteen to one. I ain't
Speaker 1: got to good MVP bet, and then I didn't make it.
Speaker 1: I am just I can't believe it. And by the way,
Speaker 1: I needed some wins this weekend because I fired on
Speaker 1: the Chiefs. More on that in a minute. But so
Speaker 1: that was a disaster by me. Credit to Dave Roberts
Speaker 1: for great managing. Credit to the Dodgers for in Game
Speaker 1: seven being like, our weakness all year was the bullpen.
Speaker 1: So what if we have four guys pitch, but there
Speaker 1: are four starters that we just don't even have to
Speaker 1: worry about the bullpen. So the Dodgers are deserving champs.
Speaker 1: Do I think they were better in that series? I don't,
Speaker 1: but they're deserving champs. With that said, if you're the
Speaker 1: Blue Jays, I just don't know how you ever get
Speaker 1: over it. That is as haunting of a series loss
Speaker 1: as I think you will ever see in sports. And
Speaker 1: I understand the twenty eleven Rangers twice were one strike
Speaker 1: away from winning the World Series.
Speaker 2: I get that.
Speaker 1: This to me feels more cruel because if you're a
Speaker 1: Blue Jays fan, who, by the way, right now, tell
Speaker 1: me in the doc on hard Rock bet where the
Speaker 1: Blue Jays are for World Series odds next season. I
Speaker 1: bet they're not in the top six. So it's not like, oh,
Speaker 1: we'll be right back there. And by the way, my team,
Speaker 1: the Royals, lost a seven game heartbreaker, wasn't expected to
Speaker 1: be back, and then came back the next year and
Speaker 1: won it. So maybe the Blue Jays can do the same.
Speaker 1: But when you go over that series, if you're a
Speaker 1: Blue Jays fan and you think back to all the moments,
Speaker 1: you could have won the eighteen inning game. So they're
Speaker 1: tied for the six best odds at fifteen pardon me,
Speaker 1: fifteen to one, and the eighteen inning game is not
Speaker 1: even one of the four or five biggest heartbreaks. You
Speaker 1: think to Game six, when you have second and third
Speaker 1: one out, down one, Well, you think to the fact
Speaker 1: that you were going home up three to two, and
Speaker 1: then in Game six, bottom nine, second and third, one out,
Speaker 1: and it looks like you're gonna get a little blooper
Speaker 1: to score at least one and have the tying run
Speaker 1: on third with one out, and then it's caught and
Speaker 1: you're doubled off. Then you think to Game seven, you
Speaker 1: can get an insurance run in the eighth man on second,
Speaker 1: nobody out. You strand it. You give up a home
Speaker 1: run two outs away from the World Series to a
Speaker 1: guy who has hit one home run in the last
Speaker 1: six weeks. Then after all that, you have bases loaded,
Speaker 1: one out, bases loaded, one out, a chopper to the
Speaker 1: same guy who ripped your heart out by the way
Speaker 1: before you. The one out is because it looked like
Speaker 1: Vladdie Guerrero Junior hit a walk off home run to
Speaker 1: win the World Series warning track shot. And if either
Speaker 1: doesn't get a good enough secondary lead, or it's just unlucky,
Speaker 1: or he's just not quite fast enough, or he doesn't
Speaker 1: slide right, whatever it is, you're out at home by
Speaker 1: an inch by one inch, but still that's just two outs.
Speaker 1: Then you hit a bomb to left center and the
Speaker 1: guy who is just put in for defense crashes into
Speaker 1: the center field and the left fielder and catches it,
Speaker 1: so you don't win there. And then in the eleventh
Speaker 1: you're down a run second and third, I'm sorry, first
Speaker 1: and third, one out and break your bat double play.
Speaker 2: I just.
Speaker 1: That is as gutting a Championship Series loss as you
Speaker 1: will ever see. People can say like people compared it
Speaker 1: to the Spurs and the ray Allen game. I don't know,
Speaker 1: this was worse. The Spurs were the under like the
Speaker 1: Spurs in the ray Allen game were trailing in the
Speaker 1: fourth quarter with two minutes left the and then had
Speaker 1: game seven. The Heat were not infirm control, but control
Speaker 1: like I don't you can say the if we again,
Speaker 1: if we want to switch it to basketball. The Warriors
Speaker 1: up three to one in the finals, but games five
Speaker 1: and six of those finals they got blasted. That Blue
Speaker 1: Jays had so many chances to win a championship, and
Speaker 1: didn't I feel sick for him.
Speaker 2: I feel after you're saying, like the Blue until the
Speaker 2: very last second, that they were going to win. Those
Speaker 2: other teams, Yes, it seemed like they were done a
Speaker 2: long time ago, so it was no reason to believe.
Speaker 2: I get it.
Speaker 1: I up three to two going home, chance to steal
Speaker 1: Game six, up with two outs or with one out
Speaker 1: in the ninth inning, and then two great chances to
Speaker 1: walk it off in the bottom of the ninth and
Speaker 1: then a great chance to at least tie it, if
Speaker 1: not win it, in the eleventh, and you just get
Speaker 1: beat up.
Speaker 2: Hey. Either way, it sounds like some exciting stuff. Should
Speaker 2: we start buying some stock into baseball? Maybe talking more
Speaker 2: baseball next year?
Speaker 1: I listen, I do love playoff baseball. And did you
Speaker 1: see the rating for it demon day?
Speaker 2: I did not? What was it?
Speaker 1: Okay, So I'm gonna you're that this is and then
Speaker 1: we'll get the chief spills. I promise. Sixteen million people
Speaker 1: watched Game seven of the NBA Finals last year. Okay,
Speaker 1: Pacers thunder. Sixteen million people watched in America. How many
Speaker 1: people do you think watched Game seven Dodgers Blue Jays
Speaker 1: in America?
Speaker 2: We don't. We don't get to I'll go fifty six.
Speaker 1: You went, you said fifty sixty six. Fifty six, okay,
Speaker 1: twenty six. So you you're you're bad at these games.
Speaker 2: I'm terrible because I don't have a good gauge. But
Speaker 2: that but yeah, so.
Speaker 1: The but my point is the fact that it did
Speaker 1: more than fifty percent more than Game seven of the
Speaker 1: NBA Finals.
Speaker 2: Like baseball is more America sports than basketball is, all right?
Speaker 2: Or is it just like different when it comes to
Speaker 2: the finals.
Speaker 1: The world's been and it's kind of ebbed and flowed.
Speaker 1: But right now like baseball's hot right now, I sound
Speaker 1: like Trump, Sorry, but like, uh, the so and I
Speaker 1: thought these playoffs were awesome. I thought these playoffs were
Speaker 1: really great. And Daniel says team market size. I get that,
Speaker 1: but we don't get credit for Canada. One of the
Speaker 1: baseball teams is in a market that doesn't count for
Speaker 1: the ratings. So like as small as Indianapolis and Oklahoma
Speaker 1: City are. Yeah, yes, LA is bigger than OKC and
Speaker 1: in Indianapolis combined, but not not enough to make up
Speaker 1: for that. The rating wasn't because of Los Angeles like it.
Speaker 1: That certainly helped, But no, that was a great it's
Speaker 1: a great postseason for baseball. All right, let's get to
Speaker 1: Bills chiefs.
Speaker 2: All right, it's that time. So the Bills won their
Speaker 2: Super Bowl against your Kansas City Chiefs. Uh. Kansas City
Speaker 2: is heads into the by five and four as the
Speaker 2: eight seed, and the Bills are the favorite to win
Speaker 2: the one seed. How are you? How do you want
Speaker 2: to do this one? How are you feeling? I mean, well,
Speaker 2: they did get the first one. They got the first one,
Speaker 2: so now they'll get him in the postseason if the
Speaker 2: rules are I mean.
Speaker 1: That's that's the way it goes. But I let me
Speaker 1: give Buffalo credit because I got listen. I picked the Chiefs.
Speaker 1: I bet the Chiefs. I did not think the Bills defense,
Speaker 1: even if the Chiefs had their typical regular season against
Speaker 1: Buffalo Vanilla game plan, I did not think the Bills
Speaker 1: defense would be able to keep up with Kansas City.
Speaker 1: And not only they keep up with Kansas City. They
Speaker 1: dominated most of that game, and Josh played great and
Speaker 1: Patrick played really shaky. That was the first game in
Speaker 1: Patrick's entire career he completed less than fifty percent of
Speaker 1: his passes, and they pressured the Chiefs at will, and
Speaker 1: the Bills were the far better team. It was a miracle.
Speaker 1: The Chiefs had multiple possessions down seven and fourth quarter,
Speaker 1: and that last possession when McDermott chose to go for
Speaker 1: a field goal, was coaching malpractice. You have to punt there,
Speaker 1: like the going for that field goal and giving the
Speaker 1: Chiefs a short field when they're only gonna have twenty
Speaker 1: three or twenty two seconds if you punt is just insanity.
Speaker 1: I couldn't believe he did it. But set that aside,
Speaker 1: Buffalo steadied themselves. Buffalo stayed very alive for their division
Speaker 1: as the Patriots have just a cake schedule moving forward,
Speaker 1: and Buffalo ran the ball great, Josh was awesome, and
Speaker 1: the defense, which was my concern with them, more than
Speaker 1: stepped up. So all of that is true. That can
Speaker 1: be true, while it's also true that this does not
Speaker 1: change my opinion one percent about what a Chiefs Bill's
Speaker 1: playoff game could look like. And I thought the Bill's
Speaker 1: young secondary players Cole Bishop and Xavier Hairston after the
Speaker 1: game talking about the tells they saw on tape was
Speaker 1: a big unforced error. Save that infol kids like you're
Speaker 1: you're probably going to have to play this team again,
Speaker 1: and so listen, Kansas City has its work cut out
Speaker 1: for him. But the whole if the playoffs started today
Speaker 1: thing is just meaningless to me. The playoffs don't start today.
Speaker 1: They have eight more games to play. If I now,
Speaker 1: did this hurt their chances of winning the division? Sure do?
Speaker 1: I still right now? Would I still pick them to
Speaker 1: win the division? I would? And I think that the
Speaker 1: Chiefs are going.
Speaker 2: To they them as the Super Bowl favorites.
Speaker 1: Yeah, because they're the best team I mean, And I'm
Speaker 1: curious if they're going to add a running back or
Speaker 1: a defensive lineman or both or neither at the deadline.
Speaker 1: But they added yesterday the most important piece they could add,
Speaker 1: which is Josh Simmons came back. Yep, so Josh Simmons
Speaker 1: is back. And again no, no, I'm not making any excuses.
Speaker 1: The Bills dominated the Chiefs, okay, But as far as
Speaker 1: why it could be different in the playoffs, the Chiefs,
Speaker 1: by the second half of that game were without three
Speaker 1: of their five starting offensive linemen, and without Isaiah Pacheco.
Speaker 1: They're starting running back, all of whom you expect to
Speaker 1: be back for the playoffs. Now you can say, well
Speaker 1: the Bills was out at Oliver, but at Oliver's should
Speaker 1: be out. Go ahead. What were you saying?
Speaker 2: I was about to say, Isaiah Pacheco con. I don't
Speaker 2: know what that's gonna do for.
Speaker 1: Us, But well, it's better than Clyde, I mean better
Speaker 1: than and so and again maybe they trade for Breese
Speaker 1: Hall today. We'll see, but the one seed is going
Speaker 1: to be Look, so the real damage that was done
Speaker 1: is if they had a shot at the one seed
Speaker 1: that dwindled massively yesterday. I think the Pats might end
Speaker 1: up the one seed, like we'll see. But as far
Speaker 1: as you want to win the division, you want to
Speaker 1: have home playoff games. I'm not ignoring any of that.
Speaker 1: With that piece of it said, I don't really know,
Speaker 1: Like it doesn't seem like there's going to be any
Speaker 1: soft spots in the AFC playoffs. Like if the AFC
Speaker 1: Playoffs are in one order or another, Bill's Patriots AFC
Speaker 1: North winner, So that's either Steelers or Ravens, Colts, Chiefs, Broncos, Chargers,
Speaker 1: which are the odd Like that would be the Jags
Speaker 1: out Chargers in the I don't even know who. You
Speaker 1: would say, Oh, I hope to get to play that
Speaker 1: team in Round one, and so I just obviously you
Speaker 1: wouldn't want to play if you're The Bills are the
Speaker 1: Chief's biggest threat. There's no doubt about that. They have
Speaker 1: been year after year. They just can't beat them when
Speaker 1: it matters the most. And I've been on the record
Speaker 1: that one day I think they will. I just don't
Speaker 1: think that day is today.
Speaker 2: Do you like the of the bye? I think the
Speaker 2: buye kind of came in a rough spot.
Speaker 1: No, I like it. I actually like that the.
Speaker 2: THESS good for Josh Simmons to be out for so long.
Speaker 1: Correct it's very good for Josh Simmons. But here's the
Speaker 1: other thing because and this is where I'm just gonna
Speaker 1: look at it a little differently than most because people
Speaker 1: are gonna talk about the Chiefs second half of the
Speaker 1: season's schedule and talk about the records of the teams
Speaker 1: they face. So let me see what the and we
Speaker 1: can put the I know we can throw up the schedule,
Speaker 1: but I want to do something. I'm doing something a
Speaker 1: little different, which is strength of schedule, more strength of
Speaker 1: remaining strength of schedule. So the Chiefs right now are
Speaker 1: dead average, They're fifteenth as far as remaining strength of schedule.
Speaker 1: That's not what I'm focused on. What I'm focused on
Speaker 1: is this. The first half of the season, the Chiefs
Speaker 1: played the following quarterbacks Justin Herbert, Jalen, Hurts, Lamar Jackson,
Speaker 1: Jared Goff, the Prince, Josh Allen, along with Russ.
Speaker 2: Jackson, Do Gino.
Speaker 1: It no, they didn't play Jackson. They played Russ in
Speaker 1: his last game, oh Russell, Wilson, Gino, and Mariota. So
Speaker 1: they played six of the best quarterbacks in football. The
Speaker 1: rest of the year, the quarterbacks they face are bow
Speaker 1: Knicks twice Daniel Jones, cam Ward Gino again, and then
Speaker 1: Dak who's really good, but that defense is abhorrent. CJ. Stroud,
Speaker 1: who is fine, but that offense is abhorrent, and Justin
Speaker 1: Herbert again. So the quarterbacks they play soften up enough
Speaker 1: right now. And I said it on the show yesterday,
Speaker 1: I'll say it again. I think they're gonna go twelve
Speaker 1: and five. I think they sweep the Broncos. I think
Speaker 1: they get the win against the Chargers. I think they
Speaker 1: have one loss, I don't know what it is, and
Speaker 1: they end up winning the division. We'll see if I'm
Speaker 1: right about that. But that's why I'm not panicked, and
Speaker 1: I think Hard Rock Bet in Vegas is smart to
Speaker 1: not be panicked as either, And go ahead, pal Oh Casey.
Speaker 2: Hasn't won a game when they're when they allowed twenty
Speaker 2: one plus points? Is that something or nothing?
Speaker 1: So that's I put that in the nothing bucket along
Speaker 1: with the their zero to four and one score games
Speaker 1: stat I put that in the nothing bucket because would
Speaker 1: people feel better if they hadn't blown out the Lions
Speaker 1: and Ravens if they had just won those like if
Speaker 1: they if the Lions and Ravens wins were closer, then
Speaker 1: they'd be two and four. Like, so I don't really
Speaker 1: care about that piece of it. And I the the
Speaker 1: Chiefs have had, you know, some really good games and
Speaker 1: some ugly games. I the Jags game is the game
Speaker 1: that if they don't win the division, if they do
Speaker 1: get a rough seed, you're gonna look back on and say,
Speaker 1: we blew it. We were up double digits early. You
Speaker 1: had control of that game. The mahome like, that's the game,
Speaker 1: and we'll see how they respond to it. But I
Speaker 1: still think that I think post By they're gonna have
Speaker 1: the best offense in football. And I'm still not scared
Speaker 1: of Denver. Maybe that'll be my famous last word, but
Speaker 1: I watched Denver every single week and Boonicks is a gamer,
Speaker 1: and he is he has been clutched, but man, that
Speaker 1: offense is so bad for the first three quarters, weekend
Speaker 1: week out.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so everybody, everybody's always cooking Patrick Mahomes about his sideline,
Speaker 2: theatrics and his slide and stuff.
Speaker 1: Josh Flopper in the league, Yeah, five years has been Josh.
Speaker 1: It's not even close.
Speaker 2: Head back, yes.
Speaker 1: And and we want to talk about rule changes. Here's
Speaker 1: a rule that I think could be implemented and have
Speaker 1: instant effect. If you make that whiplash motion with your head,
Speaker 1: it automatically triggers that you have to be checked for
Speaker 1: a concussion because that that so like fair is fair
Speaker 1: if you're going to try to take advantage of the
Speaker 1: fact that the NFL has put a real emphasis on
Speaker 1: protecting you, on protecting you and concussion protocol and try
Speaker 1: to get a cheap fifteen yards like that one. The
Speaker 1: one from Josh this weekend was egregious. It was egregious.
Speaker 1: It's like the right, so the the tax on that
Speaker 1: is all right, go in that blue tent. Miss a
Speaker 1: few plays and your answer to the you know, unaffiliated
Speaker 1: neurological consultant who I think the name is. No, I
Speaker 1: was just faking, then, so be it. But then you
Speaker 1: gotta own it. All right. We'll get to Monday Night

Speaker 1: the rest of week nine, let's get to last night's game.
Speaker 2: All right, So the Cowboys got humiliated last night. Arizona
Speaker 2: was just taking the ball from him att Will. So
Speaker 2: we know Dallas's defense is garbage and the trade deadline
Speaker 2: is ending here pretty soon. What do you think what
Speaker 2: moves should they make?
Speaker 1: What should they should be sellers not buyers? And did
Speaker 1: you see the trade they already they made last night
Speaker 1: this morning, demanse, they traded hold On. I'm gonna tell you.
Speaker 1: They traded for Logan Wilson, who has been He's a
Speaker 1: linebacker who has been benched by the Bengals defense. The
Speaker 1: Bengals are in the team beauty right now because the
Speaker 1: defense is so bad. The al Golden Bengals de coordinator
Speaker 1: is like, we knows even though Logan Wilson, you're a
Speaker 1: team captain, we can't use you, even though we're the
Speaker 1: worst defense in the league. And they traded a seventh
Speaker 1: round pick for him. It is the Cowboys are done.
Speaker 1: They're done. They have had plenty of opportunities to not
Speaker 1: be done, and they're you look, they're now three to
Speaker 1: five and one. They they were favorites last night. They
Speaker 1: the Cardinals dominate them, even though they get a blocked
Speaker 1: punt touchdown. They lost all they lost to the Panthers.
Speaker 1: The they they could have stolen that Packers game. They
Speaker 1: had plenty of opportunity unities to not be done. But
Speaker 1: now after the Raiders game in two weeks, Demons, they
Speaker 1: go Eagles, Chiefs, Lions. They're finished. Yeah, so I'm done
Speaker 1: thinking about the Cowboys as even a frisky spoiler like
Speaker 1: they listen, they're dangerous week to week because the offense
Speaker 1: can be that good. But they're done now. The more
Speaker 1: interesting thing from that game is once again, Arizona's offense
Speaker 1: is better with Jacoby Brissett than with Kyler Murray. Now,
Speaker 1: the head coach, Jonathan Gannon says Kyler's gonna be back
Speaker 1: when he's healthy. I don't know, man, Kyler seemed people
Speaker 1: thought he was healthy yesterday, they didn't playing and the
Speaker 1: offense hummed. The question is who does Kyler play for
Speaker 1: next year? Potential teams the Jets, the Steelers, of Rogers retires,
Speaker 1: the Browns. There was one other team that I had
Speaker 1: on my list. I'm trying to remember. Who is the
Speaker 1: other team that I thought.
Speaker 2: You now bucking off? Oh? Maybe my name?
Speaker 1: I don't think the Dolphins can deal with Toua's cap
Speaker 1: hit and trading for Kyler. Uh. There was one other
Speaker 1: team that I had on my list yesterday. Oh in
Speaker 1: the Raiders.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I didn't think you would, bug GINO. I didn't
Speaker 2: think you.
Speaker 1: Do a full teardown. But Kyler is not going to
Speaker 1: be on the Cardinals next year. Kyler is going to
Speaker 1: be available next year. Listen Classic one or Classic two.
Speaker 1: I guess eventually, right, Kyler is too small and when
Speaker 1: the one of the reasons the offense works better with
Speaker 1: Jacoby is because they want to be able to hit
Speaker 1: routes over the middle of the field and Kyler cannot
Speaker 1: see him. Sorry, pro sports doesn't have to be fair.
Speaker 1: It is what it is. Too small. And I also,
Speaker 1: you know, I don't know that he is beloved in
Speaker 1: that locker room. I think it's fair to say. And
Speaker 1: so his time with the Cardinals is coming to an end.
Speaker 1: They I think they should just accept it and keep
Speaker 1: playing Jacob because he's get a better chance to win.
Speaker 1: All right, let's get to the other story of the
Speaker 1: day that I wanted to talk about.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so we just wrapped up the first half of
Speaker 2: the NFL season with Sunday, So this is a perfect
Speaker 2: time to talk about Bronnie James. Let's do it.
Speaker 1: So here's the deal, And this is a little about
Speaker 1: Bronnie and this is more about media criticism. But a
Speaker 1: little over a little less than a year ago, we
Speaker 1: were in full blown Bronni James meltdown in the media
Speaker 1: about the scourges of nepotism and Lebron forcing the Lakers
Speaker 1: into such a mistake and pleading with Lebron as a
Speaker 1: father to stop this farce, and folks claiming that their
Speaker 1: heart just goes out to the other potential draftees who
Speaker 1: got snubbed because the Lakers wasted the fifty to fifth
Speaker 1: pick on Bronni. And now the last two games, the Lakers,
Speaker 1: who are super shorthanded. Sunday night, we're in a tight
Speaker 1: game with Miami, played Bronni in crunch time. He played
Speaker 1: really good defense, had one awesome driving kick for a
Speaker 1: critical three, and they won eighteen minutes solid you know,
Speaker 1: end of the bench performance. And then yesterday in a
Speaker 1: game where Lebron was out, Luca was out, and Austin
Speaker 1: Reeves was out, they called on Bronnie again against the
Speaker 1: Blazers when the Blazers were double digit favorites, and Bronni
Speaker 1: played nineteen minutes, had six assists, had no turnovers, and
Speaker 1: the Lakers won again. Now, do I think Bronni is
Speaker 1: a great player. Not? Do I think Brownie is even
Speaker 1: going to be a rotation guy this year for the
Speaker 1: Lakers when they're healthy. No do. I think if we
Speaker 1: are going to be fair and we are going to
Speaker 1: look at this objectively, we should say, hey, how does
Speaker 1: his production up to this point in the season compare
Speaker 1: to the other guys drafted in the second half of
Speaker 1: the first round. I think that's fair. So if you
Speaker 1: go picks forty five through I think there were only
Speaker 1: fifty eight in that draft, oddly instead of sixty, and
Speaker 1: you're like, oh, so of those fourteen guys, seven of
Speaker 1: them are not on an NBA roster, so you know,
Speaker 1: he certainly is providing more value than those seven. Of
Speaker 1: those fourteen guys, only Quinton Posts, Jamal shed and Cam
Speaker 1: Spencer have played more minutes. Okay, of those fourteen guys,
Speaker 1: only Jamal Shd and Cam Spencer have more assists. Of
Speaker 1: those fourteen guys, only Cam Spencer has more steals of
Speaker 1: though now Bronnie is is field goal percents like twenty percent.
Speaker 1: He hasn't shot much, but I think he's you know,
Speaker 1: he I think he's one for I think he's two
Speaker 1: for eleven on the season, so obviously he's not he's
Speaker 1: not shooting the ball well, he's not shooting the ball much,
Speaker 1: but you look at that draft and all the crying
Speaker 1: that was done. Pick forty seven has not played, is
Speaker 1: not on a roster. Pick forty eight has played eleven minutes.
Speaker 1: Pick forty nine, pick fifty pick fifty one has not
Speaker 1: played or on G League teams. Pick fifty two Quinton
Speaker 1: Post has actually been solid for the Warriors, and pick
Speaker 1: fifty three Cam Spencer's been solid for the Grizzlies. Pick
Speaker 1: fifty four not on a roster, Pick fifty five Bronnie
Speaker 1: pick fifty six, pick fifty seven G League or not
Speaker 1: on a roster, and pick fifty eight forty apologies has
Speaker 1: played forty minutes for the Knicks and has been given,
Speaker 1: you know, slightly less production than Bronni. Right in line
Speaker 1: with it. Whole point is Bronnie James has been a
Speaker 1: slightly above average late second round pick. That's what he's
Speaker 1: been as a pro, A slightly above average late second
Speaker 1: round pick. That's it. And the folks that used him
Speaker 1: as a cudgel because they hate lebron should be embarrassed.
Speaker 1: That's the Brownie James update. Good for him for being
Speaker 1: pressed into service for all of a sudden a frisky
Speaker 1: Lakers team that got to win as a double digit
Speaker 1: under dog without its three best players, and good for
Speaker 1: him for playing his first ever crunch time NBA minutes
Speaker 1: the night before and just looking the part of oh, yeah,
Speaker 1: that looks like the eleventh best guy on an NBA team.
Speaker 1: That's what he looks like. Yeah, I'm happy for him,
Speaker 1: and so uh it was.
Speaker 2: It was.
Speaker 1: I thought embarrassing some of the coverage last season when
Speaker 1: he had that bad five minute stretch. I forget even
Speaker 1: who it was against. And I'm glad that he didn't
Speaker 1: let that throw him, and so good for him. All right,
Speaker 1: now we can get to the other NFL games.
Speaker 2: So yeah, surprising games are one of the more surprising
Speaker 2: things over the weekend. The Colts offens has looked pretty good,
Speaker 2: has been humming all season. Pittsburgh defense has not looked
Speaker 2: good and has been allowed anything to happen on the
Speaker 2: football field. Do you think that this game was well?
Speaker 2: Obviously the Pittsburgh Steelers beat the Colts as well. Yeah,
Speaker 2: Do you think that this is their identity or was
Speaker 2: this like more of a fluke situation in this game?
Speaker 1: A little bit of fluke for both but also the
Speaker 1: Steelers defense had no business being a bottom three defense.
Speaker 1: It was going to be better than that. And the
Speaker 1: Colts offense had no business being not only the best
Speaker 1: offense in football, but one of the best offenses in
Speaker 1: NFL history, So that all of that water was gonna
Speaker 1: find its level to a degree. And Jonathan Taylor's awesome.
Speaker 1: Shane Steichen is a very good play designer, and you know,
Speaker 1: you can give credit to the Colts while also recognizing
Speaker 1: that what they were doing was not going to be sustained.
Speaker 1: And listen, they get they have the falcons in Germany
Speaker 1: or something, so yeah, I think it's Germany Sunday morning.
Speaker 1: Then they get a bye, and then it's the Chiefs,
Speaker 1: and that will be obviously the litmus test. They're going
Speaker 1: to be a playoff team. They're they're a good story.
Speaker 1: But I am not going to apologize for my lack
Speaker 1: of Colts belief. And my take all last week was
Speaker 1: the everyone seems fine with the media mostly ignoring the Seahawks.
Speaker 1: Uh when the Sea because the Seahawks have two losses.
Speaker 1: But then everyone wants to get on their high horse
Speaker 1: and be like the media has an obligation to take
Speaker 1: the cult seriously. Because the Colts had one loss, and
Speaker 1: I'm like, no, we don't. And now the Colts, the
Speaker 1: Culture one of many two loss teams. They're a cool
Speaker 1: story and a bad division with a fun, you know,
Speaker 1: resurgent quarterback who deep down you know that five turnover
Speaker 1: game didn't shock you. And we'll see how they call.
Speaker 2: I was about to say, what are the Colts going
Speaker 2: there and be Kansas City like this?
Speaker 1: That'll be something, that will be something because the Chiefs
Speaker 1: need the games now, So go beat Kansas City and
Speaker 1: you'll have my attention. But I'll tell you what I
Speaker 1: think is more likely. So the Cult are seven and two,
Speaker 1: I would anticipate they'll beat the Falcons, then off the
Speaker 1: buy lose, the Chiefs fall to eight and three, and
Speaker 1: then they go Texans Jags, Seahawks, Niners Jags Texans. So
Speaker 1: how many games is that? Seven games? Could the Colts
Speaker 1: go three and four starting with the Chiefs game? Absolutely
Speaker 1: they could. I would expect them to lose in Kansas
Speaker 1: City and Seattle, and then even if you win three
Speaker 1: out of four against Houston and Jacksonville, if the Niners
Speaker 1: beat you, you're three and four. So it's a good story,
Speaker 1: it's not it's it's not more than that, all right.
Speaker 2: Next, the Packers, another surprise of the weekend, lost to
Speaker 2: the Panthers. They were huge favorites in that game. What's
Speaker 2: going on with green Bay was as a trap? We
Speaker 2: know they got Philly ahead or green Bay just not
Speaker 2: as good as everybody thought they were.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean maybe maybe a little everything. Man. Jeannie
Speaker 1: had a crazy stat which called it going, yeah, going
Speaker 1: going into that game. The Packers last ten games as
Speaker 1: touchdown or more favorites, they had only won, not covered.
Speaker 1: They had only won four of them that they had.
Speaker 1: They had five losses in a tie in their last
Speaker 1: ten as touchdown plus favorites. That's a team that does
Speaker 1: overlook teams. And Carolina and Carolina's five and four like
Speaker 1: Carolina's I don't know how, but Carolina is is in it.
Speaker 1: And it's also why Jordan Love is just hard to
Speaker 1: fully trust. His upside's huge, but it's hard to fully trust.
Speaker 2: Ever once he takes crazy stuff.
Speaker 1: Yeah, he does crazy stuff and stuff. I also think
Speaker 1: this weekend we had two massive injuries in the NFL,
Speaker 1: Joe allt for the Chargers and Tucker Craft for the Packers.
Speaker 1: Like those are those are really really tough injuries and.
Speaker 2: Packers.
Speaker 1: Now, he's been unbelievable. The Packers Demons have one easy
Speaker 1: game left and it's on the road against the Giants.
Speaker 1: Every other game they play is either a divisional game
Speaker 1: or against Baltimore, Philly or Denver. That's a tough schedule, man.
Speaker 1: Every team they play. Are the Vikings at five hundred
Speaker 1: now I don't even remember I think they are. Uh
Speaker 1: the Vikings are four and four and the Bears are
Speaker 1: five and three, So that means, aside from the Giants game,
Speaker 1: they don't have a game left against a team with
Speaker 1: a losing record. Now, maybe you could argue they take
Speaker 1: lightly the team's a losing record, so it could be good,
Speaker 1: but uh, I don't. I think the Packers are gonna
Speaker 1: be okay. But somebody is gonna be left without a
Speaker 1: chair in that NFC playoff picture. Like that's the thing
Speaker 1: in the AFC. If you don't believe in the Jags,
Speaker 1: it's very easy to know who's gonna be in the playoffs.
Speaker 1: It's gonna be three from the AFC West, one from
Speaker 1: the South, one from the North, and two from the East.
Speaker 1: And you kind of know who those teams are with
Speaker 1: the North coming down to it. If you do believe
Speaker 1: in the Jags, then one of those AFC West team
Speaker 1: is going to be left without a chair. NFC is
Speaker 1: very different right now. The Bears are five and three
Speaker 1: and out of the playoffs. The Lions are five and
Speaker 1: three and the seven seed, so there's not a lot
Speaker 1: of margin for Aeron. If you're a Green Bay and
Speaker 1: you're like, we have two losses this season as double
Speaker 1: digit favorites, that's a rough one, and then a tie
Speaker 1: as a nine point favorite, that's no good. All right,
Speaker 1: So you think about upgrading to the all new iPhone
Speaker 1: seventeen pros I an the most powerful iPhone ever, but
Speaker 1: you're also thinking about the traffic on your way to
Speaker 1: the store or the headache of transferring all your data.
Speaker 1: Good news, when you order a new phone online with
Speaker 1: boost Mobile, they'll send an expert to your home or
Speaker 1: work to deliver your brand new iPhone seventeen Pro and
Speaker 1: get you all set up on boost Mobile within minutes.

Speaker 1: Delivery available for select devices purchase at boostmobile dot com.
Speaker 1: Terms do apply, all right, Demanse, Let's try this mid
Speaker 1: season recap before we get to the quick hitters of
Speaker 1: these other games.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so we're midway through the NFL season, and there
Speaker 2: are some things that you were spot on about, like
Speaker 2: the Bucks being good and the Bengals being bad. And
Speaker 2: there's some things that you were dead wrong about, like
Speaker 2: the Colts being bad and the Raiders being good. Uh,
Speaker 2: what were some of the big developments that you didn't
Speaker 2: see coming in this season?
Speaker 1: So I listen, The Colts would be the biggest one,
Speaker 1: I said, I though they could get the number one
Speaker 1: pick instead. You know right now they're the number one seed,
Speaker 1: so that is a stone with I'm glad you mentioned
Speaker 1: the Bengals because of this. I do not think it
Speaker 1: would be any different for them if Burrow were there.
Speaker 1: Flack's playing out of his mind. Their problem is that
Speaker 1: defense is dread and acting like, oh, we just got
Speaker 1: screwed because Burrow's not here. Is now maybe they would
Speaker 1: have won some of those Jake Browning games, But as
Speaker 1: far as their ability to contend that that die was
Speaker 1: cast in the offseason. So I listen, I got the
Speaker 1: Commander's wrong. The Commanders are now screwed because of Jaden's injury,
Speaker 1: but they were screwed before. They were gonna be three
Speaker 1: and six, you know, with Jaden healthy, and we'll talk
Speaker 1: more about them a in a bit. Uh. I'm trying
Speaker 1: to think. I thought the Patriots would be a playoff team,
Speaker 1: but I did not think they would be in contention
Speaker 1: for the number one seed. Obviously, people are gonna say, Nick,
Speaker 1: you got the Broncos wrong. I'm not sure I did.
Speaker 1: We'll wait and see. All.
Speaker 2: I mean, you have called it up to this point,
Speaker 2: and you called it last year. I mean last year.
Speaker 1: I said they were gonna be six and two and
Speaker 1: I wouldn't believe in them, and they started six and
Speaker 1: two and I didn't believe in them. Now I thought
Speaker 1: they would lose to the Texans, so I thought at
Speaker 1: this point they'd be six and three. But we'll wait
Speaker 1: and see. I'm trying to I did not see this
Speaker 1: season from hell potential for Baltimore, and I didn't see
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh's week link being its defense. Those things to me
Speaker 1: were missus to a degree. The NFC, aside from Washington,
Speaker 1: I was pretty solid on I think, and I well
Speaker 1: know I underrated Seattle. I underrated Seattle, and Seattle is
Speaker 1: a really good team.
Speaker 2: What's the fin on the Yeah, I was about to
Speaker 2: say on the NFC, you were kind of hesitant to
Speaker 2: go all in on the Rams because of his back injury.
Speaker 2: You would you go back and change that by this point,
Speaker 2: seeing what you've seen.
Speaker 1: Well, I do think I listen, I think I had
Speaker 1: a Bucks Rams NFC championship game, and I feel good
Speaker 1: about that right now. But the Rams are a little
Speaker 1: better than I thought they would be. The Bucks are
Speaker 1: what I thought they would be. But right now this moment,
Speaker 1: I know hard Rock disagrees with me, but I guess
Speaker 1: it not necessarily disagrees. I'm just he's not the favorite
Speaker 1: right now this moment. Matt Stafford's league MVP. He's been awesome,
Speaker 1: quietly awesome, and his numbers have been awesome.
Speaker 2: All right, next, All right, so seasons from Hell. We
Speaker 2: got Washington. They're three and six and they obviously just
Speaker 2: lost Jaden Daniels to that crazy injury. Houston is three
Speaker 2: and five and have struggled on offense, and they also
Speaker 2: just lost c J. Stroud for a little bit to
Speaker 2: a concussion. Cincinnati, like we just talked about, three and six,
Speaker 2: Burrows store hurt. The defense is garbage. It sounds like
Speaker 2: the offense might be in like an open rebellion against
Speaker 2: the defense at this point. But a rank the worst
Speaker 2: Seasons from Hell teams?
Speaker 1: All right? Number one's Washington cause they put a lot
Speaker 1: of resources into this season. They traded for Latimore last year,
Speaker 1: they traded for Tunsel, they traded for Deebo, They signed
Speaker 1: a lot of older veterans. The team is bad. The
Speaker 1: team is injured. And this is where I have to
Speaker 1: be unpopular. I feel sick for Jaden Daniels, but most
Speaker 1: quarterbacks arm does not bend that way if they take
Speaker 1: that hit, and people just like that. That was that.
Speaker 1: That part of that was he is so slim, and
Speaker 1: it is not a sport for skinny guys.
Speaker 2: It's not.
Speaker 1: And Jaden now has played twenty six games to Monsey.
Speaker 1: He has suffered cracked ribs, he has suffered spray me,
Speaker 1: he has heard his hamstring, which has nothing to do
Speaker 1: with his frame, and he's had his arm twisted backwards.
Speaker 1: So the reason Washington be the number one Season from
Speaker 1: Hell team is if you're a Washington fan, deep down,
Speaker 1: you're like, man, is this guy just gonna be an
Speaker 1: injury concern his whole career?
Speaker 2: And go ahead, I mean, yeah, I think he's definitely
Speaker 2: he's worth the struggle. I mean, you you play the
Speaker 2: guy and see if he's worth the talking stand up.
Speaker 1: But right now, right now, this moment, demanse, if you
Speaker 1: did that quarter that year quarterback redraft. Right now, this moment,
Speaker 1: Drake goes number one. But after this weekend, the game Caleb.
Speaker 2: Had, you're saying it could be open that I think.
Speaker 1: Caleb would be two. I think right now, if you
Speaker 1: ask all thirty two teams, I think the Jaden injury
Speaker 1: stuff is so concerning. So that's the other reason they
Speaker 1: have the biggest year from hell. Number two is Cincinnati
Speaker 1: because I they are not one offseason away from fixing
Speaker 1: that defense. They're gonna blow all of Burton, not all,
Speaker 1: but a lot of Joe Burrow's prime, just trotting out
Speaker 1: a non competitive defense, and Burrow, if I'm being fair,
Speaker 1: also a huge injury concern. Guys suffered a bunch of weird,
Speaker 1: different injuries. Houston. I I didn't have as high as
Speaker 1: hopes for Houston as other people did, maybe, and the
Speaker 1: defense has been as advertised, the offense just been brutals.
Speaker 1: So that's how I would rank it with Baltimore. Flying
Speaker 1: in and taking first place demonse if they missed the
Speaker 1: playoffs like now, like Baltimore missing the playoffs with Yes,
Speaker 1: Lamar got hurt, but they survived it. They went one
Speaker 1: and two without Lamar like that would be the ultimate
Speaker 1: Super Bowl or bus team missing the playoffs be unbelieva.
Speaker 2: You gotta we gotta have a new They're also saying
Speaker 2: Lamar weighs less than Daniels and his mystery of his
Speaker 2: last five seasons.
Speaker 1: No, listen Lamar, like you guys watch do you guys
Speaker 1: watch football? Does Lamar Jackson look like Lamar? First of all,
Speaker 1: Lamar shed weight intentionally. Second of all, Lamar is sturdy Lamar.
Speaker 1: When Lamar came out of college, he had a tyree
Speaker 1: kill neck like Lamar is. And by the way, Lamar
Speaker 1: has three times in his career missed significant portions of
Speaker 1: a season with injury. So the answer is kind of yes.
Speaker 1: But Lamar Is does not have the frame that Jaden
Speaker 1: has not at all. All. Right, you want to do
Speaker 1: these quick hitters, you got something else before we do it.
Speaker 2: Uh, you gotta have a category. I think you gotta
Speaker 2: come up with like a category four. I think you
Speaker 2: have two? Is it three? Categories.
Speaker 1: You gotta category one instantly correct, Category two eventually correct,
Speaker 1: Category three cartoonishly wrong. What's category he.
Speaker 2: Gotta have like a category where it's like I'm correct,
Speaker 2: but I don't want to be correct.
Speaker 1: Yes, you know what that is? Great job, demons, great job. Okay,
Speaker 1: bring that to the TV show today. Oh hell yeah,
Speaker 1: let's go category four.
Speaker 2: Let's go right.
Speaker 1: But I don't want to be and if I'm proven right,
Speaker 1: I can't take a victory left right exactly like you
Speaker 1: just have to meekly be like I.
Speaker 2: Told you so. Yeah, exactly, that's right.
Speaker 1: That that great one.
Speaker 2: Category four, that's category four, are coming up quick hitters.
Speaker 2: First off, Thursday Night football, we had the Ravens defeating
Speaker 2: the Dolphins twenty twenty eight to six. Lamar's back, Yeah,
Speaker 2: Lamar's back.
Speaker 1: Lamar's awesome. There's no disputing that he was rusty for
Speaker 1: about a quarter and a half and then he was
Speaker 1: awesome again. And this this is where Ravens fans can
Speaker 1: get mad at me. I don't care. I watched that game.
Speaker 1: I did not think your defense looked amazing. I know
Speaker 1: you allowed six points. I thought the Dolphins left so
Speaker 1: much meat on the bone in that first half. The
Speaker 1: Dolphins had so many opportunities. They got the ball within
Speaker 1: the thirty yard line six times in that game, and
Speaker 1: that doesn't count the time they had a bomb taking
Speaker 1: off the field or a bomb called back by penalty
Speaker 1: thanks to the worst tripping call of the season. Like
Speaker 1: I think the Ravens even still a concern.
Speaker 2: Next forty nine Ers defeating the Giants thirty four to
Speaker 2: twenty four.
Speaker 1: This is like Kyle Shanahan's masterpiece. Man even I didn't
Speaker 1: think he could get this out of Mac Jones, and
Speaker 1: the Giants are just done. The Broncos loss ended the
Speaker 1: Giants season and it might also end up costing the
Speaker 1: Chiefs the division. I'll never get over Brian Dable having
Speaker 1: Jackson Dart throw that pass with five minutes left up
Speaker 1: too scores. But Christian McCaffery, they're just gonna work him
Speaker 1: to death and Max playing well. So shout out to
Speaker 1: the Giants, I mean shout out to the Niners.
Speaker 2: Next, Chargers defeat the Titans twenty seven to twenty Yeah.
Speaker 1: At what the well?
Speaker 2: I mean?
Speaker 1: The The Titans scored two non offensive touchdowns, a special
Speaker 1: teams touchdown and a pick six, but the Joe ald
Speaker 1: injuries just devastating for him. And if the Chargers, what
Speaker 1: are the I absolutely I think the final playoff spot
Speaker 1: in the AFC is gonna come down to the Prince
Speaker 1: and Herbert. It's just great theater. And by the way,
Speaker 1: they play in Jacksonville in two weeks, and that because
Speaker 1: the Chargers still.
Speaker 2: The last time they played them was that it was
Speaker 2: the last time they played it. It wasn't I don't.
Speaker 1: Think no, I don't think it was the playoff game.
Speaker 1: My guess is they've played well, let's see, they didn't
Speaker 1: play Lion.
Speaker 2: It's possible, It is totally possible.
Speaker 1: I feel it is the last time they played him.
Speaker 1: Great call by you. The last time they played them
Speaker 1: was the playoff meltdown. Great call by you, all right.
Speaker 2: Next, Vikings defeat the Lions twenty seven, twenty four. That
Speaker 2: was Oh my god, that was a shocker.
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, that killed you and killed me. Great game
Speaker 1: playing by Flores. Make golf look really uncomfortable. JJ McCarthy
Speaker 1: wasn't great, but he wasn't awful, made a few good plays.
Speaker 1: That's a great win by the Vikings. I'm not going
Speaker 1: to freak out about the Lions. That's just a great
Speaker 1: win by the Vikings.
Speaker 2: Next Patriot to defeat the Falcons twenty four to twenty three.
Speaker 1: Weird one because the Falcons were incredibly lucky to be
Speaker 1: in that game. It was about to be twenty four
Speaker 1: to seven at half, and then Drake May just drops
Speaker 1: the ball, the Falcons return return it almost for a
Speaker 1: touch down. Now, all of a sudden, it's twenty one
Speaker 1: to fourteen and a half, and all three of the
Speaker 1: Falcons touchdowns were just increasingly absurd. Drake London catches like
Speaker 1: just ridiculous Drake London catches. But then they did have
Speaker 1: a chance to tie the game, and Parker Romo, who
Speaker 1: the Patriots cut this offseason, just gags the extra point
Speaker 1: and then but the Patriots are a legit good team.
Speaker 1: They flatly are. It felt like they were gonna get
Speaker 1: a little unlucky in that game, but they didn't. They've
Speaker 1: now won six in a row.
Speaker 2: Next Belichick feel about all this? Uh, Broncos defeat the
Speaker 2: Texans eighteen to fifteen.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, and Broncos fans are like, why won't
Speaker 1: you give us more credit again? Because I watched the
Speaker 1: games and your defense is awesome. Now, the most impactful
Speaker 1: player defense made in this game was a dirty hit
Speaker 1: on CJ. Shroud that knocked him out of the game,
Speaker 1: and then Davis Mills just out there with no shot whatsoever.
Speaker 1: But the Unco's defense is awesome even without Sirtane.
Speaker 2: It was awesome.
Speaker 1: That offense is so hard to watch. But they're seven
Speaker 1: and two and have a big margin of air now
Speaker 1: and the Texans are on life support.
Speaker 2: Next, Bears defeat the Angles in a shootout forty seven
Speaker 2: forty two.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean that would have been a season ending
Speaker 1: loss for the Bears. They were up fourteen with two
Speaker 1: minutes left, just over two minutes left and picked off
Speaker 1: Flaco and then somehow they were down forty two to
Speaker 1: forty one after giving up an onside kick. Caleb with
Speaker 1: the best drive of his pro career, and Caleb was awesome,
Speaker 1: And so we here's we know Caleb can carve up
Speaker 1: bad defenses. He did it to Dallas, he did it
Speaker 1: to sanci But that's a huge win for the Bears.
Speaker 1: Get to five and three, win a game like that,
Speaker 1: steal it at the end after blowing it. Huge win
Speaker 1: by them and the Bengals. Listen, Flacco's been great. The
Speaker 1: Bengals are a mess.
Speaker 2: Next, Rams defeat the Saints thirty four to ten.
Speaker 1: All Right, I'm gonna be totally honest with the audience.
Speaker 1: Rams Saints and Jaggs Raiders might be the two Sunday
Speaker 1: games all year that I watched the absolute least of
Speaker 1: I didn't. I didn't. I I was solo screening Bill's Chiefs.
Speaker 1: So I know the Rams annihilated the Saints, and I
Speaker 1: know the Jaggs Raiders game went to overtime, which bad
Speaker 1: for the Raiders. They played a full overtime, lost it
Speaker 1: and now played Thursday and now play Thursday night against Denver.
Speaker 1: That's tough for them, all right. Last one, the Seahawks
Speaker 1: annihilated the Commander Seahawks, legit good team Like the Seahawks,
Speaker 1: the Seahawks are a legit good to really good team.
Speaker 1: Darnold's been awesome and Jackson Smith and Jigba's been fantastic.
Speaker 1: All right, let's get some listener questions.
Speaker 2: Uh Kingson says, as an English Chiefs fan since ninety two,
Speaker 2: this is my favorite show to listen to. Uh to,
Speaker 2: you guys both bring something unique and work so well.
Speaker 2: I love that you guys are family demonsiy as a natural.
Speaker 2: Thank you for both from England. Thank you.
Speaker 1: It's really awesome. Thank you Kingston. I love that. I
Speaker 1: really love that.
Speaker 2: It's a great time myself.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Good, you're doing great pal and good reminder everyone
Speaker 1: like rate subscribe review.
Speaker 2: To this Caleb, Oh wait, sorry, does Flacco's performance at
Speaker 2: all change the perception of how highly Joe Burrow should
Speaker 2: be ranked among you? Good one?
Speaker 1: I mean, here's the deal. We all kind of like
Speaker 1: great Jalen hurts on a negative curve because it's like, well,
Speaker 1: look at the weapons of Yes, I did a whole
Speaker 1: I've done hours on brock party and the event. When
Speaker 1: you see Joe Flacco, fresh out the nursing home start
Speaker 1: throwing for three to twenty and thirty two points a game,
Speaker 1: it at least gives you a little pause about are
Speaker 1: we giving Joe cool just a touch too much credit?
Speaker 1: Just the little pause. I think that's fair.
Speaker 2: I thinks very fair. Yeah, very fair. Already asked, can
Speaker 2: we get one word about my four panthers?
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, listen, this has been one of the
Speaker 1: biggest positive surprises of the season. When you started the
Speaker 1: year off one in three getting blown out by the Jags,
Speaker 1: losing a heartbreaker to the Cardinals getting blown out by
Speaker 1: the Patriots. It's just like, okay, it's just the same
Speaker 1: old Panthers. The thirty to zhering Falcons win was a
Speaker 1: fluke and the Panthers are a mess. Since then, You've
Speaker 1: won four out of five, including a shocking win against
Speaker 1: the Packers, and now your big favorites against the Saints
Speaker 1: to get to six and four and then have a
Speaker 1: game in Atlanta that'll be the biggest Panther game since
Speaker 1: Cam Newton was there. That's pretty awesome.
Speaker 2: You're tied with the Vision.
Speaker 1: Yes, same record as the Chiefs, so shout out to
Speaker 1: you guys. The people are asking if first thing's first
Speaker 1: on the air today, Yes, definitely, and then Yannie is
Speaker 1: in the chat evidently saying I'm the MVP. I don't
Speaker 1: know if that's the real Yiannis or not, but he
Speaker 1: definitely is the MVP. So far this year, Holy smokes,
Speaker 1: Giannis has been unbelievable. Giannis is averaging thirty four thirteen
Speaker 1: and seven on sixty eight percent from the field sixty
Speaker 1: eight percent, and hit the game winner last night Jumper Turnaround.
Speaker 1: He's been unbelievable. Gianni's has been unbelievable. All right, great
