Great Episode two seventy nine, 10 00:00:46,680 --> 00:00:50,760 Speaker 2: Fresh off a not that intriguing Monday night football game, 11 00:00:51,800 --> 00:00:56,320 Speaker 2: a great though, Week eleven in the NFL was it yeah? 12 00:00:56,360 --> 00:01:00,960 Speaker 2: Week eleven in the NFL one o'clock Steelers Ravens delivered 13 00:01:01,800 --> 00:01:04,840 Speaker 2: four point thirty Chiefs Bills delivered, even though if it 14 00:01:04,880 --> 00:01:08,560 Speaker 2: made me sad, and then Sunday Night football looked like 15 00:01:08,640 --> 00:01:11,960 Speaker 2: we were gonna get a laugher turned into a hell 16 00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:15,400 Speaker 2: of a game. There's a great week into football, except for, 17 00:01:15,480 --> 00:01:19,679 Speaker 2: of course, for me gambling. This was my first awful 18 00:01:19,760 --> 00:01:22,600 Speaker 2: weekend of the year. It's a kind of a double 19 00:01:22,720 --> 00:01:28,000 Speaker 2: edged sword, Demanse. It was I did poorly against the spread, 20 00:01:28,720 --> 00:01:31,760 Speaker 2: and I did poorly against the spread in the early games, 21 00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:36,040 Speaker 2: and then had my you know, get back all your money. 22 00:01:36,440 --> 00:01:40,360 Speaker 2: Chiefs are underdogs by five and a half minutes into 23 00:01:40,880 --> 00:01:44,680 Speaker 2: Bill's Chiefs Firefire Fire on the Chiefs live money line 24 00:01:44,880 --> 00:01:48,120 Speaker 2: didn't work out, you know, sometimes it'd be like that. 25 00:01:48,520 --> 00:01:51,639 Speaker 2: What I should have just done is what everyone should 26 00:01:51,640 --> 00:01:54,960 Speaker 2: do for football gambling this year is make one bet 27 00:01:54,960 --> 00:02:01,000 Speaker 2: a week. Demand's teaser, which was, I truly believe the 28 00:02:01,040 --> 00:02:06,240 Speaker 2: only Chiefs related teaser in America that hit because everyone 29 00:02:06,360 --> 00:02:09,800 Speaker 2: had them getting eight or eight and a half. You 30 00:02:09,919 --> 00:02:13,120 Speaker 2: with your seven and a half pointers got him in 31 00:02:13,320 --> 00:02:14,440 Speaker 2: right under the wire. 32 00:02:15,480 --> 00:02:16,520 Speaker 3: So lose my nine. 33 00:02:16,600 --> 00:02:21,120 Speaker 2: You got him plus ten. I know the and the 34 00:02:21,320 --> 00:02:24,079 Speaker 2: obviously the Steelers leg of it won because they won outright. 35 00:02:24,120 --> 00:02:26,400 Speaker 2: So we'll get to all of that do Monday Night 36 00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:29,720 Speaker 2: football first, though, Here's what missed the cut. The Tyson 37 00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:35,120 Speaker 2: Paul fight not great. Tommy DeVito is back with the Giants, 38 00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:37,600 Speaker 2: and the Jets are so bad they're not even I 39 00:02:37,600 --> 00:02:41,200 Speaker 2: don't think in the show. Here's my only Tommy DeVito 40 00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:49,000 Speaker 2: anecdote at the World Series, his agent was walking around 41 00:02:49,639 --> 00:02:54,400 Speaker 2: like throughout the entirety of these games, and I've never 42 00:02:55,080 --> 00:03:02,200 Speaker 2: in my life seen someone more eager for people to 43 00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:04,880 Speaker 2: be like, hey, are you such and such? Can we 44 00:03:04,919 --> 00:03:09,760 Speaker 2: take a picture? Like it was. His eagerness of people 45 00:03:09,880 --> 00:03:14,000 Speaker 2: asking him for pictures could only be topped by the 46 00:03:14,040 --> 00:03:17,320 Speaker 2: folks who dress up like superheroes in Times Square and 47 00:03:17,360 --> 00:03:20,360 Speaker 2: that's how they make their living. Like, I've never seen 48 00:03:20,520 --> 00:03:25,280 Speaker 2: anything like it, and so more power to him. Good 49 00:03:25,320 --> 00:03:28,120 Speaker 2: for him, man, But Tommy Deviato back in the league, 50 00:03:28,160 --> 00:03:30,440 Speaker 2: what do you mean below the belt? What do you mean? 51 00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:34,240 Speaker 3: He's a publica a real flame right there? 52 00:03:34,639 --> 00:03:35,080 Speaker 4: All right? 53 00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:39,520 Speaker 2: Oh really, yeah, I hope it doesn't get back to him. 54 00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:43,800 Speaker 2: My goodness, he's gonna throw his Riddler hat at me 55 00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:48,080 Speaker 2: and I'll be cooked, all right, Toman say, let's get 56 00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:52,080 Speaker 2: to the show. Oh man, oh man, go ahead. Yeah. 57 00:03:52,120 --> 00:03:55,960 Speaker 3: So last night the Texans demolished the Cowboys. It was 58 00:03:55,960 --> 00:03:58,119 Speaker 3: looking pretty bad, and it actually started to look good 59 00:03:58,120 --> 00:03:59,960 Speaker 3: there for a second, looked like we had a game 60 00:04:00,440 --> 00:04:02,600 Speaker 3: and then they had one of the more embarrassing turnovers 61 00:04:02,600 --> 00:04:05,400 Speaker 3: of the season. But the big story here isn't the 62 00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:09,600 Speaker 3: Texans the Cowboys and how demoralize they look on the sideline. 63 00:04:09,640 --> 00:04:11,360 Speaker 3: It just looked like they had quit on the season. 64 00:04:11,640 --> 00:04:13,160 Speaker 3: You had all those players going down. 65 00:04:13,680 --> 00:04:14,080 Speaker 4: Go ahead. 66 00:04:14,880 --> 00:04:18,760 Speaker 2: Yeah, no, I so real quick. I want to say 67 00:04:18,839 --> 00:04:22,919 Speaker 2: something when this game looked like it could briefly be 68 00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:29,760 Speaker 2: a game, And I thought about tweeting about this last night, 69 00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:33,800 Speaker 2: and then I was like, eh, I'll just explain it 70 00:04:33,839 --> 00:04:39,600 Speaker 2: on the pod and we'll move on. I really disagree 71 00:04:40,400 --> 00:04:45,000 Speaker 2: with Mike McCarthy's decision to take that sixty four yard 72 00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:51,040 Speaker 2: field goal off the board. And I understand people's gut instinct, 73 00:04:51,120 --> 00:04:54,320 Speaker 2: which is, well, hold on. When the drive started, the 74 00:04:54,360 --> 00:04:58,440 Speaker 2: goal was a touchdown. You have an opportunity because of 75 00:04:58,440 --> 00:05:01,599 Speaker 2: the penalty to get first, have first and ten from 76 00:05:01,640 --> 00:05:04,560 Speaker 2: the thirty one yard line. You'll still be able to 77 00:05:04,640 --> 00:05:07,040 Speaker 2: kick a field goal in all likelihood if you want to. 78 00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:10,880 Speaker 2: Why would you? Why would you think he made the 79 00:05:10,920 --> 00:05:15,080 Speaker 2: wrong decision? And this is to me kind of like 80 00:05:15,200 --> 00:05:18,640 Speaker 2: the poker gambling part of my brain. I think you 81 00:05:18,920 --> 00:05:22,480 Speaker 2: the I think you have to look at all these 82 00:05:22,560 --> 00:05:26,680 Speaker 2: situations demands of not all of them. But let me 83 00:05:26,760 --> 00:05:29,359 Speaker 2: rephrase it. One way to look at it is, what 84 00:05:29,480 --> 00:05:35,080 Speaker 2: are my expected points from this moment of this possession. 85 00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:38,880 Speaker 2: So when you've made the sixty four yard field goal, 86 00:05:39,200 --> 00:05:42,200 Speaker 2: that is done. It's no longer a question will you 87 00:05:42,360 --> 00:05:45,919 Speaker 2: make or miss the kick? You know what the value 88 00:05:45,960 --> 00:05:49,479 Speaker 2: of that is. It's exactly three points. It's gonna be 89 00:05:49,520 --> 00:05:53,520 Speaker 2: the value of three points and the clock being where 90 00:05:53,560 --> 00:06:00,599 Speaker 2: it is. What do you think the expected value for 91 00:06:00,680 --> 00:06:05,919 Speaker 2: the Dallas Cowboys with Cooper Rush at quarterback is first 92 00:06:05,960 --> 00:06:10,279 Speaker 2: and ten from the Texans thirty one yard line. I 93 00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:13,719 Speaker 2: don't think it's much more than three. Like the way 94 00:06:13,760 --> 00:06:16,680 Speaker 2: you would do the math is, what's the percentage chance 95 00:06:16,720 --> 00:06:19,920 Speaker 2: they get a touchdown, what's the percentage chance they make 96 00:06:19,960 --> 00:06:23,320 Speaker 2: a field goal on this possession, what's the percentage chance 97 00:06:23,360 --> 00:06:25,840 Speaker 2: they miss a field goal? And what's the percentage chance 98 00:06:25,880 --> 00:06:29,520 Speaker 2: they turn it over either on downs, pick whatever? And 99 00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:34,920 Speaker 2: multiply all of those percentages by the points associated with it. 100 00:06:35,279 --> 00:06:37,839 Speaker 2: Zero with a turnover, zero with a missed field goal, 101 00:06:37,880 --> 00:06:40,720 Speaker 2: three with a made field goal, seven with a touchdown. 102 00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:44,240 Speaker 2: And you do it, man, I mean just back of 103 00:06:44,279 --> 00:06:48,520 Speaker 2: the napkin math I feel like is and we can 104 00:06:48,560 --> 00:06:51,120 Speaker 2: do this in real time. What are they to get 105 00:06:51,120 --> 00:06:54,159 Speaker 2: a touchdown there? First and ten from the thirty one 106 00:06:54,880 --> 00:06:58,760 Speaker 2: I think it's less than twenty percent. I honestly do. 107 00:06:59,240 --> 00:07:03,880 Speaker 2: But let's call call it twenty percent, okay, twenty times 108 00:07:03,920 --> 00:07:06,760 Speaker 2: seven points. So for that little bucket, you have one 109 00:07:06,839 --> 00:07:11,560 Speaker 2: point four points. What's the odds of them turning the 110 00:07:11,640 --> 00:07:17,840 Speaker 2: ball over? Either uh, turnover or they go for it 111 00:07:17,960 --> 00:07:21,520 Speaker 2: on fourth down and don't get it. I honestly it 112 00:07:21,560 --> 00:07:25,600 Speaker 2: felt to me in real time like thirty five percent 113 00:07:26,160 --> 00:07:29,600 Speaker 2: something like that, and that like one in three. Yeah, 114 00:07:29,640 --> 00:07:31,640 Speaker 2: I mean, yeah, you know, So let's just call it 115 00:07:31,680 --> 00:07:37,239 Speaker 2: thirty five percent. So that leaves forty five percent chance 116 00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:40,800 Speaker 2: you kick the field goal and make it. Let's just 117 00:07:40,840 --> 00:07:44,240 Speaker 2: say Aubrey is almost guaranteed there, but that's five percent 118 00:07:44,320 --> 00:07:46,760 Speaker 2: chance he misses it, forty percent chance you kick the 119 00:07:46,760 --> 00:07:50,680 Speaker 2: field goal and make it. So now we've got forty 120 00:07:50,760 --> 00:07:55,640 Speaker 2: percent times three. That's one point two expected points. We 121 00:07:55,680 --> 00:07:58,360 Speaker 2: already had the one point four expected points. So I 122 00:07:58,400 --> 00:08:02,440 Speaker 2: think you're you're expected value from declining that penalty is 123 00:08:02,480 --> 00:08:05,640 Speaker 2: two and a half points and you're guaranteed the like. 124 00:08:05,680 --> 00:08:08,000 Speaker 2: So I just wouldn't have done it. So I just 125 00:08:08,040 --> 00:08:11,360 Speaker 2: think you've got the context of Cooper Rushes, my quarterback. 126 00:08:12,120 --> 00:08:15,560 Speaker 2: I wouldn't have done it, and the added context of 127 00:08:16,960 --> 00:08:21,200 Speaker 2: and this is kind of the fuzzy math demnse Houston 128 00:08:21,240 --> 00:08:25,200 Speaker 2: blew a huge lead last week. They didn't expect this 129 00:08:25,240 --> 00:08:28,160 Speaker 2: to be a dog fight. Now all of a sudden, 130 00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:31,960 Speaker 2: midway through the third quarter, it's a one score game, 131 00:08:32,640 --> 00:08:36,040 Speaker 2: like all those things. So I thought it was a mistake. 132 00:08:36,360 --> 00:08:39,920 Speaker 2: For if you have a real quarterback, then you turn 133 00:08:40,040 --> 00:08:43,520 Speaker 2: that down. I totally get it. But when Cooper rushes 134 00:08:43,559 --> 00:08:49,479 Speaker 2: your quarterback and you can, you've locked in three points 135 00:08:49,559 --> 00:08:52,360 Speaker 2: and you're only gonna be at the thirty one, I 136 00:08:52,400 --> 00:08:53,319 Speaker 2: thought that was a mistake. 137 00:08:53,600 --> 00:08:55,480 Speaker 3: Now that's not why they lost. 138 00:08:58,240 --> 00:09:01,560 Speaker 2: No, I think that is. No. I don't think it 139 00:09:01,640 --> 00:09:04,800 Speaker 2: was a glaring mistake. If we're done with him between 140 00:09:04,840 --> 00:09:06,760 Speaker 2: two point six and three, like in my back of 141 00:09:06,760 --> 00:09:09,440 Speaker 2: them met Napkin math, all of it. I just think 142 00:09:10,280 --> 00:09:16,800 Speaker 2: everyone's gut, all of my analytically inclined friends, I think 143 00:09:16,880 --> 00:09:20,520 Speaker 2: the gut is, oh, he did the right thing. And 144 00:09:20,600 --> 00:09:24,199 Speaker 2: I'm saying I actually think in the context of this 145 00:09:24,280 --> 00:09:27,320 Speaker 2: football game, with Cooper Rush as the quarterback, that's not 146 00:09:27,360 --> 00:09:30,520 Speaker 2: the right call. Normally, if you can get a first down, 147 00:09:30,559 --> 00:09:34,040 Speaker 2: you take the first down. But this was a unique 148 00:09:34,080 --> 00:09:37,240 Speaker 2: spot where it was such a long field goal. The 149 00:09:37,320 --> 00:09:41,160 Speaker 2: fifteen yards doesn't from the line of scrimmage, doesn't actually 150 00:09:41,240 --> 00:09:44,280 Speaker 2: put you, like even in the red zone. And the 151 00:09:44,360 --> 00:09:49,079 Speaker 2: offense has been so shaky. Now as far as the 152 00:09:49,120 --> 00:09:54,200 Speaker 2: Cowboys like this, and this is why Jerry keeps giving 153 00:09:54,280 --> 00:09:57,800 Speaker 2: longer and longer interviews, and this is why he seems 154 00:09:57,840 --> 00:10:05,880 Speaker 2: to be flailing. He built a terrible team. That's the answer. 155 00:10:06,679 --> 00:10:10,880 Speaker 2: The answer is Jerry Jones is in a position now. 156 00:10:10,880 --> 00:10:15,560 Speaker 2: I understand Dak is now hurt, but they were really 157 00:10:15,640 --> 00:10:18,920 Speaker 2: bad when Dak was out there. They built a team 158 00:10:19,640 --> 00:10:24,440 Speaker 2: where you have three guys who are Dak is paid 159 00:10:24,559 --> 00:10:27,760 Speaker 2: like a superstar, and he's you know, good to really 160 00:10:27,800 --> 00:10:31,119 Speaker 2: good at times. Seedee Lamb is paid like a superstar. 161 00:10:31,200 --> 00:10:34,200 Speaker 2: He is a superstar. Mike is cheap, but he is 162 00:10:34,240 --> 00:10:37,720 Speaker 2: a superstar. But the rest of your team has almost 163 00:10:37,760 --> 00:10:41,880 Speaker 2: no redeeming qualities. Your offensive line is mediocre, You have 164 00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:46,079 Speaker 2: the worst running game in football. Your wide receivers after 165 00:10:46,240 --> 00:10:51,480 Speaker 2: Ceedee Lamb are nothing noteworthy. Your the rest of your 166 00:10:51,559 --> 00:10:54,760 Speaker 2: defense you get run on. Your secondary is probably a 167 00:10:54,800 --> 00:10:58,640 Speaker 2: little overpaid. Your you're just now you've been dealing with injuries. 168 00:10:58,679 --> 00:11:01,280 Speaker 2: I get it, but this this is a more than 169 00:11:01,320 --> 00:11:04,880 Speaker 2: it's a Mike McCarthy issue. It's a Jerry Jones issue. 170 00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:11,240 Speaker 2: And I know there's a lot of buzz about oh, 171 00:11:11,320 --> 00:11:16,120 Speaker 2: Dion Sanders or the Cowboys doing something exotic. Man, they 172 00:11:16,160 --> 00:11:19,600 Speaker 2: should beg Mike for Able to come there and create 173 00:11:19,640 --> 00:11:23,480 Speaker 2: a real football program and block out as much of 174 00:11:23,520 --> 00:11:26,520 Speaker 2: the Jerry Jones nonsense as he can and build a 175 00:11:26,600 --> 00:11:29,760 Speaker 2: team that's good up front on both sides of the ball, 176 00:11:30,200 --> 00:11:32,959 Speaker 2: and hope then your star power of Dak and CD 177 00:11:33,520 --> 00:11:37,600 Speaker 2: can push over the top. But this whole, all these 178 00:11:37,720 --> 00:11:42,600 Speaker 2: the folks being like hired Dion or draft a quarterback. Guys, 179 00:11:43,360 --> 00:11:47,160 Speaker 2: they made their commitment to Dak, like Dak is the 180 00:11:47,200 --> 00:11:51,080 Speaker 2: Cowboys quarterback the next few years. You're not spending your 181 00:11:51,120 --> 00:11:54,320 Speaker 2: top ten pick. If they had not signed Dak as 182 00:11:54,400 --> 00:11:57,200 Speaker 2: all summer long demons, I said, hold your water, and 183 00:11:57,240 --> 00:11:59,360 Speaker 2: I thought they were going to. Then they're in a 184 00:11:59,440 --> 00:12:02,640 Speaker 2: unique spot. You have a top ten pick, maybe a 185 00:12:02,679 --> 00:12:06,600 Speaker 2: top five picking, draft your quarterback, reset the rookie QB 186 00:12:06,800 --> 00:12:11,240 Speaker 2: salary scale, Pay Mica, PAYCD. You're not paying your rookie. 187 00:12:11,559 --> 00:12:14,800 Speaker 2: You know, that becomes a much more attractive job because 188 00:12:15,040 --> 00:12:18,520 Speaker 2: the upside grow with the rookie quarterback, but they paid 189 00:12:18,600 --> 00:12:21,959 Speaker 2: Dak so this idea they're gonna draft Shador or anybody 190 00:12:21,960 --> 00:12:24,080 Speaker 2: and then trade Deck. He has a no trade clause. 191 00:12:24,400 --> 00:12:28,600 Speaker 2: The contract hasn't even started yet. The contract they signed 192 00:12:28,640 --> 00:12:32,920 Speaker 2: him to kicks in next year, so they're just stuck 193 00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:35,000 Speaker 2: where they are. All right, now, let's go to teams 194 00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:41,000 Speaker 2: that wait. Oh one other thing. Houston probably not good 195 00:12:41,080 --> 00:12:43,800 Speaker 2: enough to win more than one playoff game. And that's 196 00:12:43,840 --> 00:12:46,800 Speaker 2: okay like that. I know that's frustrating because that's where 197 00:12:46,800 --> 00:12:52,439 Speaker 2: they were last year. But they are. Maybe it's the injuries, 198 00:12:52,600 --> 00:12:56,400 Speaker 2: maybe it's the natural you know, schedule got tougher, they 199 00:12:56,480 --> 00:13:00,280 Speaker 2: didn't sneak up on anybody, all that stuff, but they 200 00:13:00,280 --> 00:13:04,800 Speaker 2: are a just really hope not to be one and 201 00:13:04,840 --> 00:13:09,840 Speaker 2: done playoff team because Demons, their first round playoff game 202 00:13:10,520 --> 00:13:16,760 Speaker 2: is overwhelmingly likely either going to be Baltimore or the Chargers. 203 00:13:17,200 --> 00:13:20,280 Speaker 2: I don't know about you. I like both those teams 204 00:13:20,360 --> 00:13:25,079 Speaker 2: right now more than Houston. Like, I know Baltimore, but 205 00:13:25,120 --> 00:13:28,240 Speaker 2: I'm saying even the Chargers like the right now. I 206 00:13:28,240 --> 00:13:31,199 Speaker 2: think the Chargers are so much stronger upfront than Houston. 207 00:13:31,360 --> 00:13:34,840 Speaker 2: Like so that's but so Houston's gonna be in a 208 00:13:34,920 --> 00:13:37,840 Speaker 2: rough spot in their Assuming they hold off the Colts, 209 00:13:37,840 --> 00:13:40,240 Speaker 2: which I think they will, they're gonna be in a 210 00:13:40,320 --> 00:13:43,160 Speaker 2: rough spot in the first round. But the idea that 211 00:13:43,160 --> 00:13:49,080 Speaker 2: they're gonna be a conference championship game contender or a 212 00:13:49,160 --> 00:13:51,240 Speaker 2: Super Bowl contender, as a lot of people had them, 213 00:13:51,520 --> 00:13:55,120 Speaker 2: I don't think they're there yet. And there's no shame 214 00:13:55,160 --> 00:13:57,120 Speaker 2: in that, but I just don't think they're there yet. 215 00:13:58,559 --> 00:14:01,480 Speaker 2: All right, demonse, Let's go on to the you know 216 00:14:01,600 --> 00:14:03,600 Speaker 2: the game everyone wants to hear me be sad about. 217 00:14:03,600 --> 00:14:04,120 Speaker 4: Go ahead. 218 00:14:04,440 --> 00:14:06,840 Speaker 3: Yeah, So you're a Chiefs lost to the Bills this weekend, 219 00:14:07,400 --> 00:14:09,840 Speaker 3: lost their first game, and it was probably for the best. 220 00:14:09,880 --> 00:14:11,880 Speaker 4: You were saying that they needed to get that loss 221 00:14:11,920 --> 00:14:12,480 Speaker 4: out of the way. 222 00:14:13,120 --> 00:14:15,800 Speaker 3: You predicted that the Bills would look impressive and maybe 223 00:14:15,840 --> 00:14:19,160 Speaker 3: even win. You also said two things on TV that 224 00:14:19,200 --> 00:14:21,760 Speaker 3: you're not worried about Mahomes and that Buffalo has better 225 00:14:21,800 --> 00:14:26,000 Speaker 3: weapons and protection than years past. Do you fear that 226 00:14:26,080 --> 00:14:29,080 Speaker 3: there's a possibility that Buffalo is better than Kansas City? 227 00:14:29,120 --> 00:14:31,920 Speaker 3: Comes to January February or January? Should I say nothing? 228 00:14:31,920 --> 00:14:34,480 Speaker 2: All right? So couple things. One is I didn't say 229 00:14:34,520 --> 00:14:37,040 Speaker 2: Buffalo had better weapons than yours past. They have a bet, 230 00:14:37,080 --> 00:14:39,400 Speaker 2: but they do have a better offensive line and defensive 231 00:14:39,400 --> 00:14:42,000 Speaker 2: line than yours past. The Bills right now have the 232 00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:44,800 Speaker 2: best offensive line Josh has ever had, the best defensive 233 00:14:44,840 --> 00:14:47,520 Speaker 2: line Josh has ever had, and Josh is playing the 234 00:14:47,560 --> 00:14:53,360 Speaker 2: best he's ever played. And so am I worried. I'm 235 00:14:53,400 --> 00:14:57,960 Speaker 2: not worried in the traditional sense like it. I think 236 00:14:57,960 --> 00:15:01,440 Speaker 2: if they play in the playoff, the Chiefs are better 237 00:15:01,480 --> 00:15:04,720 Speaker 2: than them that game almost as you know. The Chiefs 238 00:15:04,720 --> 00:15:06,680 Speaker 2: now still have some work to do to make sure 239 00:15:06,720 --> 00:15:10,880 Speaker 2: that game's in Arrowhead, but they proved last year they 240 00:15:10,920 --> 00:15:13,360 Speaker 2: can win in Buffalo in the playoffs, and they're still 241 00:15:13,400 --> 00:15:17,640 Speaker 2: a huge favorite for it to be in Arrowhead. If 242 00:15:17,720 --> 00:15:22,360 Speaker 2: things hold the way they're going. In order to get 243 00:15:22,400 --> 00:15:25,640 Speaker 2: to the Chiefs, the Bills will have had to play 244 00:15:25,680 --> 00:15:28,840 Speaker 2: a wild card game that'll be annoying, and then a 245 00:15:28,920 --> 00:15:37,240 Speaker 2: Round two game either against Pittsburgh, Baltimore, the Chargers one 246 00:15:37,280 --> 00:15:40,840 Speaker 2: of those teams, and you know the kind of back 247 00:15:40,880 --> 00:15:45,000 Speaker 2: to back physical wars. Baltimore wouldn't so much be physical, 248 00:15:45,040 --> 00:15:47,520 Speaker 2: but Pittsburgh or the Chargers would be. So I feel 249 00:15:47,520 --> 00:15:53,280 Speaker 2: like the Chiefs are still in a very, very advantageous position. However, 250 00:15:54,760 --> 00:15:59,880 Speaker 2: I if you were to ask me in the AFC 251 00:16:01,160 --> 00:16:04,240 Speaker 2: the team I would least like to play, Like, if 252 00:16:04,280 --> 00:16:06,200 Speaker 2: I have to make the list of like your wish 253 00:16:06,240 --> 00:16:10,560 Speaker 2: list of playoff opponents, Buffalo's the team I would least 254 00:16:10,640 --> 00:16:15,640 Speaker 2: like to play. I like. For me, the power rankings 255 00:16:15,680 --> 00:16:20,480 Speaker 2: of least want to play in the AFC in the 256 00:16:20,520 --> 00:16:27,160 Speaker 2: playoffs is Buffalo one with a bullet the Steelers two. 257 00:16:27,680 --> 00:16:30,960 Speaker 2: And I know that sounds ridiculous because Russ and my 258 00:16:31,080 --> 00:16:35,320 Speaker 2: feelings on him, but the Chiefs tackle situation is right 259 00:16:35,360 --> 00:16:40,160 Speaker 2: now in is so shaky that you do worry the 260 00:16:40,240 --> 00:16:43,840 Speaker 2: team with the best edge rusher in the league, TJ. Watt, 261 00:16:44,200 --> 00:16:47,160 Speaker 2: and then great guys alongside him on the d line 262 00:16:47,200 --> 00:16:50,000 Speaker 2: that that by itself could just ruin the game. So 263 00:16:50,040 --> 00:16:53,600 Speaker 2: the Steelers would be two, the Chargers would be three, 264 00:16:54,120 --> 00:16:57,320 Speaker 2: and then Baltimore. And we can talk more about Baltimore 265 00:16:57,320 --> 00:17:00,560 Speaker 2: in a minute, but like I, Buffalo is clearly number 266 00:17:00,560 --> 00:17:04,440 Speaker 2: one as far as Kansas City and not being worried 267 00:17:04,520 --> 00:17:09,280 Speaker 2: like I do think there is a benefit to not 268 00:17:09,480 --> 00:17:17,040 Speaker 2: having the undefeated season kind of build pressure momentum. However 269 00:17:18,560 --> 00:17:20,760 Speaker 2: they do because it was the Bills game they lost 270 00:17:20,760 --> 00:17:22,879 Speaker 2: and they don't have the tiebreaker they do now have 271 00:17:22,960 --> 00:17:25,240 Speaker 2: work to do. The benefit that I was talking about 272 00:17:25,280 --> 00:17:28,760 Speaker 2: on TV is an addition to the undefeated season thing there. 273 00:17:29,280 --> 00:17:31,479 Speaker 2: Romo said it at the end of the game. It 274 00:17:31,560 --> 00:17:34,720 Speaker 2: would have been weird. It might have been, you know, 275 00:17:34,760 --> 00:17:38,320 Speaker 2: one of them good problems like Marlow's. Stanfield would say. 276 00:17:38,320 --> 00:17:43,439 Speaker 2: But I to lock up the one seed with seven 277 00:17:43,560 --> 00:17:48,080 Speaker 2: games left, do you then run the risk that that 278 00:17:48,200 --> 00:17:53,159 Speaker 2: you know, you play essentially meaningless games from mid November 279 00:17:53,680 --> 00:17:57,359 Speaker 2: until the playoffs start for you in mid January. That 280 00:17:57,400 --> 00:17:59,920 Speaker 2: would be a little It would be unprecedented the very 281 00:18:00,280 --> 00:18:02,440 Speaker 2: it would be odd. So I do think there's a 282 00:18:02,480 --> 00:18:04,720 Speaker 2: benefit there, But I also think the Chiefs need to 283 00:18:04,760 --> 00:18:10,199 Speaker 2: tighten a few things up, like Mahomes. Mahomes needs to 284 00:18:10,320 --> 00:18:14,359 Speaker 2: play better early in these games. And I understand the 285 00:18:14,440 --> 00:18:17,640 Speaker 2: team not looking as sharp early in games. I understand 286 00:18:17,680 --> 00:18:19,359 Speaker 2: what they're trying to do as far as work on 287 00:18:19,440 --> 00:18:23,440 Speaker 2: different things, try different things out during games that they 288 00:18:23,440 --> 00:18:25,960 Speaker 2: can then figure out what they do or don't want 289 00:18:25,960 --> 00:18:29,679 Speaker 2: to use in games that actually matter. But Mahomes is 290 00:18:29,840 --> 00:18:35,280 Speaker 2: just not so sharp early and then late, like in 291 00:18:35,359 --> 00:18:40,040 Speaker 2: the fourth quarter, early the Bills go up at by nine, 292 00:18:40,560 --> 00:18:42,320 Speaker 2: and all of a sudden it's like, oh, there's the 293 00:18:42,359 --> 00:18:46,960 Speaker 2: Chiefs playoff offense, just a surgical right down the field touchdown, 294 00:18:47,480 --> 00:18:49,879 Speaker 2: But they dug themselves too big of a hole to 295 00:18:49,880 --> 00:18:54,520 Speaker 2: where despite that touchdown, they still it needed the defense 296 00:18:54,560 --> 00:18:56,199 Speaker 2: to get a stop in order for them to have 297 00:18:56,240 --> 00:18:58,600 Speaker 2: a chance to win, and the defense got love them 298 00:18:58,600 --> 00:19:02,399 Speaker 2: had their first He's talking about the first player. 299 00:19:02,160 --> 00:19:04,520 Speaker 4: The last, the first pick. 300 00:19:04,640 --> 00:19:07,439 Speaker 2: Yes, that's what I'm talking about. Yeah, that's exactly what 301 00:19:07,480 --> 00:19:13,080 Speaker 2: I'm talking about. That was that set the tone for 302 00:19:13,160 --> 00:19:15,879 Speaker 2: the Chiefs for playing catch up the whole game, like 303 00:19:15,960 --> 00:19:18,960 Speaker 2: the game was being played on Buffalo's terms from that, 304 00:19:19,359 --> 00:19:21,360 Speaker 2: And he's done that a few times this year, so 305 00:19:21,440 --> 00:19:23,920 Speaker 2: like it. Listen, he's the best. In my I feel 306 00:19:23,960 --> 00:19:26,640 Speaker 2: like he's the greatest player in the history of the league. 307 00:19:26,880 --> 00:19:33,120 Speaker 2: He's he has earned more benefit of the doubt than 308 00:19:33,400 --> 00:19:36,720 Speaker 2: any player I've ever seen as far as Oh, even 309 00:19:36,880 --> 00:19:41,800 Speaker 2: if he he and the offense look bad for big 310 00:19:41,840 --> 00:19:44,480 Speaker 2: portions of the season like they did last year, come 311 00:19:44,520 --> 00:19:47,560 Speaker 2: to the playoffs, they're gonna play perfect football, just perfect, 312 00:19:47,600 --> 00:19:52,399 Speaker 2: no mistakes. But they're those things do need to tighten up. 313 00:19:53,000 --> 00:19:57,240 Speaker 2: I think he and Xavier they're getting closer, Like Xavier's 314 00:19:57,240 --> 00:19:58,919 Speaker 2: got to do a better job dragging his feet, but 315 00:19:58,960 --> 00:20:02,040 Speaker 2: Patrick also has to do a job hitting him in stride. 316 00:20:02,359 --> 00:20:06,080 Speaker 2: But they're working on that, and so I'm not I 317 00:20:06,240 --> 00:20:08,840 Speaker 2: still believe the Chiefs are the best team in the 318 00:20:08,880 --> 00:20:11,719 Speaker 2: league with a bullet and they're about to get Pa 319 00:20:11,800 --> 00:20:14,160 Speaker 2: Chacko back and then they get Charles A. Mine Who 320 00:20:14,280 --> 00:20:17,359 Speaker 2: back and then we'll see about Hollywood Brown by the 321 00:20:17,480 --> 00:20:20,400 Speaker 2: very end of the year. So they're adding pieces rather 322 00:20:20,440 --> 00:20:25,119 Speaker 2: than losing pieces. But the tackle position, the left tackle 323 00:20:25,160 --> 00:20:28,000 Speaker 2: spot's got to get better, and I would think they 324 00:20:28,080 --> 00:20:30,640 Speaker 2: might call Donovan Smith, who was their left tackle last 325 00:20:30,680 --> 00:20:34,520 Speaker 2: year and is semi retired but has said he's you know, 326 00:20:34,760 --> 00:20:38,760 Speaker 2: he's ready. If the Chiefs call and listen, they're gonna be. 327 00:20:39,280 --> 00:20:43,159 Speaker 2: They're gonna be rotating guys at the number two corner 328 00:20:43,200 --> 00:20:46,800 Speaker 2: position because Jalen Watson broke his ankle. It's one of 329 00:20:46,840 --> 00:20:48,840 Speaker 2: the most important injuries for the Chiefs all year, and 330 00:20:48,880 --> 00:20:52,200 Speaker 2: they don't have someone to fill that role right now. 331 00:20:52,240 --> 00:20:57,880 Speaker 2: But I am I worried about the Bills. No, are 332 00:20:57,920 --> 00:21:02,600 Speaker 2: the Bills the scariest team in the AFC UH for 333 00:21:02,880 --> 00:21:05,639 Speaker 2: the Chiefs to play, yes, go ahead, demonse. 334 00:21:07,160 --> 00:21:09,520 Speaker 3: Well after Pittsburgh and Baltimore. Do you think that the 335 00:21:09,600 --> 00:21:13,560 Speaker 3: Kansas City Buffalo rivalry is the biggest current rivalry of 336 00:21:13,600 --> 00:21:15,359 Speaker 3: the era? 337 00:21:16,240 --> 00:21:19,760 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean it's weird to have a rivalry where 338 00:21:19,760 --> 00:21:23,680 Speaker 2: it's not your divisional opponent, but they play literally every 339 00:21:23,760 --> 00:21:26,320 Speaker 2: year in the regular season because they both win their 340 00:21:26,320 --> 00:21:29,840 Speaker 2: division every year, and they play most years in the playoffs. 341 00:21:30,119 --> 00:21:32,399 Speaker 2: So yeah, I would say it's the best ride. Like 342 00:21:32,640 --> 00:21:35,800 Speaker 2: Baltimore Pittsburgh just has the history. All the games are great, 343 00:21:36,080 --> 00:21:38,920 Speaker 2: they played twice a year. But yeah, like. 344 00:21:40,920 --> 00:21:44,040 Speaker 3: Kansas City Buffalo is the better rivalry right now. I 345 00:21:44,040 --> 00:21:45,919 Speaker 3: mean it's just happens. 346 00:21:46,040 --> 00:21:52,000 Speaker 2: Yeah, the stakes are higher, it feels like, but Baltimore Pittsburgh, 347 00:21:52,200 --> 00:21:54,840 Speaker 2: you know, just because it's twice the year and they're 348 00:21:54,960 --> 00:21:59,200 Speaker 2: so hated to histor it. Yeah, that's fair, all right, 349 00:21:59,359 --> 00:22:01,440 Speaker 2: So the hit me with the other follow ups. 350 00:22:01,600 --> 00:22:04,320 Speaker 3: Yeah, So Detroit, they have the best odds to win 351 00:22:04,320 --> 00:22:05,240 Speaker 3: the Super Bowl right now? 352 00:22:05,280 --> 00:22:06,160 Speaker 4: Do you think that's fair? 353 00:22:09,359 --> 00:22:11,840 Speaker 2: I think Kansas City should be a prohibitive favorite, but 354 00:22:11,880 --> 00:22:16,280 Speaker 2: I understand that I think more highly of the Chiefs 355 00:22:16,280 --> 00:22:19,280 Speaker 2: than Vegas as that's fine. But the other reason Detroit 356 00:22:19,800 --> 00:22:24,920 Speaker 2: has the odds it does is right now, there's there's 357 00:22:25,040 --> 00:22:28,480 Speaker 2: not a bunch of teams in the NFC, Vegas believes 358 00:22:28,520 --> 00:22:31,760 Speaker 2: in like they desperately want to believe in the Niners. 359 00:22:32,359 --> 00:22:35,119 Speaker 2: But the Nighters are in last place in their division 360 00:22:35,200 --> 00:22:39,040 Speaker 2: and now one in three in the division and an 361 00:22:39,160 --> 00:22:42,040 Speaker 2: underdog to make the playoffs. So the Niners, you know 362 00:22:42,080 --> 00:22:45,640 Speaker 2: they're in, They're in rough shape. The Packers haven't looked 363 00:22:45,680 --> 00:22:49,040 Speaker 2: as impressive as people maybe would have hoped. So it's 364 00:22:49,080 --> 00:22:53,720 Speaker 2: really like after Detroit, unless you really believe in the Vikings, 365 00:22:53,720 --> 00:22:55,879 Speaker 2: which I think is hard to do, it's just the Eagles. 366 00:22:56,200 --> 00:22:59,280 Speaker 2: So I think those odds are reflected on that. There's 367 00:22:59,440 --> 00:23:02,800 Speaker 2: the is so much less top heavy than the AFC. 368 00:23:03,359 --> 00:23:06,400 Speaker 2: The NFC is better in the middle, Like the fight 369 00:23:06,480 --> 00:23:08,679 Speaker 2: for the seventh seed in the NFC is gonna be 370 00:23:08,720 --> 00:23:11,199 Speaker 2: good teams involved in it, and the fight for the 371 00:23:11,240 --> 00:23:14,439 Speaker 2: seventh seed in the AFC eight and nine might end 372 00:23:14,520 --> 00:23:17,679 Speaker 2: up winning it. Like, I mean, that's gonna be really 373 00:23:17,920 --> 00:23:21,399 Speaker 2: a stark difference. But at the top, the AFC is 374 00:23:21,440 --> 00:23:25,639 Speaker 2: so much better. I think that's what I think. That 375 00:23:25,920 --> 00:23:31,480 Speaker 2: is what the odds are reflecting there. All right, let's 376 00:23:31,520 --> 00:23:32,280 Speaker 2: move on to Lamar. 377 00:23:33,680 --> 00:23:36,800 Speaker 3: Yeah, so Baltimore dropped a winnable game against the Steelers 378 00:23:36,800 --> 00:23:40,960 Speaker 3: this weekend. Lamar has now lost eight of nine games. 379 00:23:40,600 --> 00:23:42,879 Speaker 4: Against the Steelers. He cannot get it done. 380 00:23:43,600 --> 00:23:45,720 Speaker 3: So Lamar are either seeds to set it on fire 381 00:23:46,119 --> 00:23:49,240 Speaker 3: or just forget how to play football? Is Lamar more 382 00:23:49,320 --> 00:23:51,639 Speaker 3: limited than we are thinking? Or do you think that 383 00:23:51,720 --> 00:23:54,399 Speaker 3: he gets more blame for Justin Tucker missing field goals? 384 00:23:55,800 --> 00:23:57,960 Speaker 2: Okay, well, so first let me be fair to Lamar 385 00:23:58,400 --> 00:24:01,760 Speaker 2: because he didn't start all those games. He's Lamar is 386 00:24:01,800 --> 00:24:05,200 Speaker 2: now one in five against Pittsburgh and his crew, so 387 00:24:05,240 --> 00:24:07,639 Speaker 2: it's not quite as bad as eight and nine, but 388 00:24:07,720 --> 00:24:11,480 Speaker 2: it's obviously not great. He and so he's missed some 389 00:24:11,600 --> 00:24:17,040 Speaker 2: games and that that it's shocking. He's only beaten the 390 00:24:17,160 --> 00:24:24,720 Speaker 2: Ravens the one time. But I go ahead, Demansey, Oh no, 391 00:24:25,240 --> 00:24:26,960 Speaker 2: it was just a small correction. 392 00:24:27,160 --> 00:24:30,439 Speaker 3: It wasn't I do. I'm curious here what you what 393 00:24:30,520 --> 00:24:32,080 Speaker 3: you want to say now? Because you told me to 394 00:24:32,160 --> 00:24:36,040 Speaker 3: jump in and say something. What do you have to say? 395 00:24:36,240 --> 00:24:42,199 Speaker 2: Well, I mean it's everybody. I don't know why it 396 00:24:42,359 --> 00:24:47,520 Speaker 2: is a controversial opinion that the bigger the game, the 397 00:24:47,560 --> 00:24:50,919 Speaker 2: worst Lamar plays, because it's not an opinion, it's just 398 00:24:51,000 --> 00:24:58,680 Speaker 2: the facts, and it is so weird that it seems 399 00:24:58,760 --> 00:25:02,960 Speaker 2: like I'm out here on an island on this opinion 400 00:25:03,840 --> 00:25:10,439 Speaker 2: when it is so factually irrefutable, And it just really 401 00:25:10,640 --> 00:25:15,239 Speaker 2: seems to me, and I hate to do this, but 402 00:25:15,320 --> 00:25:21,000 Speaker 2: that the media is just playing favorites and not saying 403 00:25:21,600 --> 00:25:27,960 Speaker 2: about Lamar what we have no problem saying about athletes 404 00:25:28,080 --> 00:25:33,240 Speaker 2: across all sports that check the box of MVP caliber 405 00:25:33,320 --> 00:25:38,479 Speaker 2: guy in the regular season, who in the postseason and 406 00:25:38,520 --> 00:25:43,919 Speaker 2: in the biggest regular season moments is a totally different player. 407 00:25:45,600 --> 00:25:49,640 Speaker 2: The whole media was in Unison on James Harden when 408 00:25:49,640 --> 00:25:52,440 Speaker 2: he was a superstar, but this applied to him. The 409 00:25:52,480 --> 00:25:56,560 Speaker 2: whole media last year was in Unison on Joel Embiid 410 00:25:56,960 --> 00:25:59,560 Speaker 2: when this applied to him. The whole media was in 411 00:25:59,680 --> 00:26:03,920 Speaker 2: Unice on Aaron Judge a month ago when this applied 412 00:26:04,000 --> 00:26:07,360 Speaker 2: to him. But when you have a player such as 413 00:26:07,440 --> 00:26:13,800 Speaker 2: Lamar Jackson who we know struggles massively in the playoffs, 414 00:26:14,080 --> 00:26:18,320 Speaker 2: you then extrapolate it to, oh, what's the team in 415 00:26:18,400 --> 00:26:24,080 Speaker 2: the regular season, the one team he struggles against the 416 00:26:24,160 --> 00:26:27,800 Speaker 2: absolute most statistically and from a win loss record, And 417 00:26:27,840 --> 00:26:32,520 Speaker 2: the answer is, oh, his hated divisional rival. And then 418 00:26:32,520 --> 00:26:37,080 Speaker 2: it's like, Okay, what's the only other team. He actually 419 00:26:37,119 --> 00:26:40,120 Speaker 2: really struggles with camp beat and has a terrible statistical 420 00:26:40,200 --> 00:26:44,560 Speaker 2: record and it's oh the reigning dynasty of his era. 421 00:26:45,200 --> 00:26:50,640 Speaker 2: But in every other circumstance he is statistically speaking, one 422 00:26:50,640 --> 00:26:53,080 Speaker 2: of the greatest players in the history of his sport. 423 00:26:53,600 --> 00:26:57,199 Speaker 2: We have a word for that in sports. It's not 424 00:26:57,280 --> 00:26:59,800 Speaker 2: a nice word, but it's a word we use on 425 00:27:00,119 --> 00:27:05,040 Speaker 2: every athlete applies to It's called choking, getting tight the 426 00:27:05,160 --> 00:27:08,919 Speaker 2: moment's a little too big. And we did this to 427 00:27:09,320 --> 00:27:15,120 Speaker 2: Peyton Manning because Peyton struggled in the playoffs, couldn't play, 428 00:27:15,280 --> 00:27:17,879 Speaker 2: didn't play well against the Patriots. We did it to 429 00:27:18,080 --> 00:27:22,520 Speaker 2: Peyton Manning for the first eight years of his career 430 00:27:23,520 --> 00:27:27,159 Speaker 2: until he finally got over the hump, and his postseason 431 00:27:27,200 --> 00:27:32,160 Speaker 2: resume was not as checkered as Lamar's and his success. 432 00:27:33,200 --> 00:27:36,480 Speaker 2: And for some reason, when it comes to Lamar, I'm 433 00:27:36,520 --> 00:27:41,880 Speaker 2: an asshole. The guy has a career one ten passer 434 00:27:42,000 --> 00:27:45,480 Speaker 2: rating while winning eighty percent of his games and a 435 00:27:45,560 --> 00:27:50,320 Speaker 2: three to one touchdown interception ratio in every situation there 436 00:27:50,480 --> 00:27:56,080 Speaker 2: is except for playoffs, Chiefs Steelers, and in those three 437 00:27:56,080 --> 00:28:00,640 Speaker 2: circumstances he wins twenty five percent of his game, has 438 00:28:00,640 --> 00:28:04,400 Speaker 2: a seventy five rating and has more turnovers than touchdowns. 439 00:28:05,080 --> 00:28:09,520 Speaker 2: And people want to say it's coincidence. It's nothing about 440 00:28:09,600 --> 00:28:12,160 Speaker 2: him type. It's not that he tightens up in big spots. 441 00:28:12,359 --> 00:28:14,720 Speaker 2: It's not that all of a sudden he misses open passes. 442 00:28:15,040 --> 00:28:20,720 Speaker 2: It's just bad luck. I I it is the most. 443 00:28:21,200 --> 00:28:24,040 Speaker 3: More meeting with Lamar Jackson as it's the coaches. It's 444 00:28:24,080 --> 00:28:26,479 Speaker 3: the coaching, and the more you see Labar Jackson, the 445 00:28:26,480 --> 00:28:30,400 Speaker 3: better you are at stopping him. And I don't think 446 00:28:30,400 --> 00:28:35,800 Speaker 3: it's any coincidence that the person it is the best coaching. 447 00:28:37,200 --> 00:28:40,360 Speaker 2: Except listen, except he's ten and two against the Bengals. 448 00:28:41,160 --> 00:28:43,480 Speaker 2: He actually hasn't seen the Steelers that much because he's 449 00:28:43,520 --> 00:28:46,320 Speaker 2: missed so many games. He does well against the Browns 450 00:28:47,040 --> 00:28:51,880 Speaker 2: at like, guys, it is a it is a direct, 451 00:28:52,520 --> 00:28:58,600 Speaker 2: a direct inverse correlation for Lamar between how big the 452 00:28:58,680 --> 00:29:04,760 Speaker 2: game is and his performance in it. What is Lamar 453 00:29:04,880 --> 00:29:10,160 Speaker 2: is twenty three to one with stats that are truly 454 00:29:10,280 --> 00:29:14,760 Speaker 2: not to be believed in what circumstances? The non conference 455 00:29:14,800 --> 00:29:18,880 Speaker 2: games the least important games on your schedule, like I 456 00:29:19,920 --> 00:29:24,440 Speaker 2: don't I And here's the other thing that is frustrating 457 00:29:24,480 --> 00:29:28,120 Speaker 2: about the Lamar discourse. And this is where I think 458 00:29:28,160 --> 00:29:36,880 Speaker 2: there is true hypocrisy. Every time the Ravens crush this year, 459 00:29:37,200 --> 00:29:42,840 Speaker 2: every week the storyline has been look at Lamar Jackson's numbers. 460 00:29:43,520 --> 00:29:47,760 Speaker 2: He's having one of the greatest quarterbacking seasons ever, twenty 461 00:29:47,800 --> 00:29:51,240 Speaker 2: two touchdowns, two picks, the highest rating in the history 462 00:29:51,280 --> 00:29:53,840 Speaker 2: of the league. He's going to be a three time MVP. 463 00:29:54,840 --> 00:29:58,560 Speaker 2: After one of those wins, John Harbaugh was asked how 464 00:29:58,600 --> 00:30:01,960 Speaker 2: they did it, and he literally said, and I quote, well, 465 00:30:02,000 --> 00:30:04,280 Speaker 2: it started with Lamar, and it ended with Lamar, and 466 00:30:04,320 --> 00:30:06,640 Speaker 2: there was a lot of Lamar in between. But aside 467 00:30:06,680 --> 00:30:09,200 Speaker 2: from Lamar and Lamar Lamar, the other guys played. Well 468 00:30:09,240 --> 00:30:12,040 Speaker 2: that's what the head coach said. So when they win, 469 00:30:12,120 --> 00:30:15,200 Speaker 2: that's the narrative, and every time they lose, this is 470 00:30:15,240 --> 00:30:18,240 Speaker 2: the conversation. Why didn't they hand the ball to Derek 471 00:30:18,320 --> 00:30:21,920 Speaker 2: Henry Moore. It's like, well, I don't know, because we're 472 00:30:21,960 --> 00:30:27,200 Speaker 2: throwing a preemptive parade for the presumptive MVP. You're not 473 00:30:27,400 --> 00:30:31,880 Speaker 2: allowed to have the opinion. You're not allowed to have 474 00:30:31,880 --> 00:30:36,560 Speaker 2: these two opinions simultaneously. Going into last week, Lamar Jackson 475 00:30:36,600 --> 00:30:40,040 Speaker 2: was the league's MVP and Baltimore made a mistake by 476 00:30:40,080 --> 00:30:43,120 Speaker 2: putting the ball in Lamar Jackson's hands. You can't have 477 00:30:43,200 --> 00:30:47,040 Speaker 2: both those opinions. You got to pick one. And so yeah, 478 00:30:47,080 --> 00:30:51,160 Speaker 2: the Lamar discourse frustrates me because I don't think people 479 00:30:51,200 --> 00:30:55,560 Speaker 2: are being honest and I think they know it. I 480 00:30:55,600 --> 00:30:59,480 Speaker 2: think they know that this is I don't even have 481 00:30:59,520 --> 00:31:02,960 Speaker 2: to go to his treatom on. It is exact what 482 00:31:03,200 --> 00:31:08,520 Speaker 2: was said about Dak Prescott last season. Oh yeah, he's 483 00:31:08,560 --> 00:31:11,200 Speaker 2: having an MVP gliber season to having the best season 484 00:31:11,200 --> 00:31:14,120 Speaker 2: of his career. Great player, but we don't trust him 485 00:31:14,160 --> 00:31:17,040 Speaker 2: from the postseason. We don't trust him in the biggest spots. 486 00:31:17,960 --> 00:31:20,160 Speaker 2: We do this to everyone, And. 487 00:31:20,080 --> 00:31:24,080 Speaker 3: So again I would ask, I think, I really think. 488 00:31:24,120 --> 00:31:25,160 Speaker 4: I think this is the year. 489 00:31:25,480 --> 00:31:27,400 Speaker 3: I think this is the year where it'll be fair 490 00:31:27,800 --> 00:31:30,400 Speaker 3: if he doesn't get over the hump this year. I 491 00:31:30,400 --> 00:31:33,040 Speaker 3: think he deserves all this criticism, but I think. 492 00:31:32,920 --> 00:31:33,880 Speaker 4: He will everyone. 493 00:31:34,000 --> 00:31:36,720 Speaker 2: I think people get lost. Everyone said that last year. 494 00:31:37,720 --> 00:31:40,120 Speaker 2: Last year, everyone said that's the other. 495 00:31:40,000 --> 00:31:40,600 Speaker 3: Thing that no. 496 00:31:40,960 --> 00:31:44,600 Speaker 2: They last year was Todd Munkin. He's better as a passer. 497 00:31:44,840 --> 00:31:46,680 Speaker 2: They have the best they they have the best evens 498 00:31:46,680 --> 00:31:49,440 Speaker 2: in the league. They have all these things. They're finally 499 00:31:49,560 --> 00:31:52,800 Speaker 2: you know, he's an MVP again. And and there was 500 00:31:52,840 --> 00:31:59,280 Speaker 2: a brief period where after the postseason loss where once 501 00:31:59,320 --> 00:32:02,520 Speaker 2: again for the fourth time and it's four times in 502 00:32:02,560 --> 00:32:06,760 Speaker 2: the postseason, the teams season lowe points was the playoff game. 503 00:32:07,280 --> 00:32:11,400 Speaker 2: Everyone's like, oh, yeah, I guess this is the case. 504 00:32:11,960 --> 00:32:14,640 Speaker 2: And then everyone pretended they didn't do it. And I 505 00:32:14,680 --> 00:32:19,640 Speaker 2: would ask the audience this, you as well, demanse, how 506 00:32:19,840 --> 00:32:24,240 Speaker 2: early in that Steelers Ravens game, was it crystal clear 507 00:32:24,320 --> 00:32:29,400 Speaker 2: to you, oh, we're not getting good Lamar today, Because 508 00:32:29,440 --> 00:32:31,880 Speaker 2: I would say the first quarter wasn't over and it 509 00:32:31,960 --> 00:32:34,880 Speaker 2: was obvious, it was obvious. 510 00:32:35,920 --> 00:32:38,320 Speaker 3: You can see, yeah, you see, you see the difference 511 00:32:38,520 --> 00:32:41,080 Speaker 3: because well because when he's on the other when he's 512 00:32:41,120 --> 00:32:43,360 Speaker 3: on the other Lamar, it's it's very flashy. That's all 513 00:32:43,360 --> 00:32:45,760 Speaker 3: I was saying. I think that I think people just 514 00:32:45,760 --> 00:32:48,320 Speaker 3: get lost in the flash. I don't get lost, and 515 00:32:48,400 --> 00:32:50,640 Speaker 3: I'm realistic. That's why I'm I do think this year 516 00:32:51,080 --> 00:32:53,240 Speaker 3: he has the potential to go the furthest that he's gone, 517 00:32:53,240 --> 00:32:56,520 Speaker 3: and if he doesn't, then I will feed into the Yeah, 518 00:32:56,520 --> 00:32:58,400 Speaker 3: he just can't get through that. That means he's a narrative 519 00:32:58,680 --> 00:33:01,920 Speaker 3: and him and got different things like, I get like, 520 00:33:02,120 --> 00:33:04,040 Speaker 3: Dak Prescott might be having a good season for him, 521 00:33:04,040 --> 00:33:06,120 Speaker 3: but he's not as good of a quarterback as Lamar 522 00:33:06,200 --> 00:33:06,719 Speaker 3: Jackson is. 523 00:33:07,600 --> 00:33:12,240 Speaker 2: Oh no, there's there's no question about that. You're totally right. 524 00:33:12,320 --> 00:33:14,320 Speaker 2: Lamar is a multiple time MVP in a future Hall 525 00:33:14,360 --> 00:33:17,880 Speaker 2: of Famer and Dax's neither. I get that might and 526 00:33:17,960 --> 00:33:19,320 Speaker 2: I guess you can look at it in one of 527 00:33:19,360 --> 00:33:23,280 Speaker 2: two ways. My point is, yet, despite that, it sure 528 00:33:23,320 --> 00:33:27,080 Speaker 2: seems like we hold Dak to the higher standard. Dak's 529 00:33:27,120 --> 00:33:30,040 Speaker 2: got two postseason wins, just like Lamar does, and the 530 00:33:30,840 --> 00:33:33,160 Speaker 2: and in one of them he was actually totally In 531 00:33:33,200 --> 00:33:36,560 Speaker 2: one of his losses, he was brilliant start to finish 532 00:33:36,800 --> 00:33:43,720 Speaker 2: his rookie year. And it's weird to me, like, maybe 533 00:33:43,760 --> 00:33:48,600 Speaker 2: it's true that because Lamar is such a better player, 534 00:33:49,880 --> 00:33:52,840 Speaker 2: he should get more benefited doubt, Yes, that's true. It's 535 00:33:52,840 --> 00:33:56,400 Speaker 2: also true because he's such a better player, it being 536 00:33:56,480 --> 00:34:02,040 Speaker 2: this stark is noteworthy, and I just you can't convince 537 00:34:02,080 --> 00:34:05,400 Speaker 2: me it's a coincidence that the three biggest spots the 538 00:34:05,480 --> 00:34:08,680 Speaker 2: Ravens have on their schedule every year are the three 539 00:34:08,719 --> 00:34:13,240 Speaker 2: biggest spots he struggles in the most. The playoffs, hated 540 00:34:13,280 --> 00:34:16,800 Speaker 2: divisional rival, best team in the conference. It would I 541 00:34:17,280 --> 00:34:21,080 Speaker 2: use this analogy for I'll use it again if Aaron Judge, 542 00:34:21,160 --> 00:34:26,399 Speaker 2: in addition to being awful every year in the postseason, 543 00:34:27,440 --> 00:34:31,320 Speaker 2: was awful every year against the Red Sox, and whenever 544 00:34:31,320 --> 00:34:38,640 Speaker 2: they played the Astros, it would be noteworthy. That's the 545 00:34:38,680 --> 00:34:42,839 Speaker 2: case with Lamar. We saw it again this weekend, and 546 00:34:43,840 --> 00:34:47,239 Speaker 2: for some reason it's a controversial opinion. I don't get it. 547 00:34:48,080 --> 00:34:56,360 Speaker 2: Quick break right back? What's right? Hey?

Let's do Niners Sincy topic go ahead. 575 00:36:42,080 --> 00:36:45,920 Speaker 3: San Francisco and Cincinnati both had some major meltdowns this weekend. 576 00:36:46,640 --> 00:36:49,479 Speaker 3: Each of them has blown three fourth quarter leads this year, 577 00:36:50,000 --> 00:36:53,160 Speaker 3: tied for the most for each team. A few field 578 00:36:53,160 --> 00:36:55,320 Speaker 3: goals or some lucky bounces would have changed the outcome 579 00:36:55,360 --> 00:36:58,000 Speaker 3: of their season or the trajectory there are season so far, 580 00:36:58,400 --> 00:37:01,719 Speaker 3: San Francisco is plus two to make the playoffs, and 581 00:37:01,800 --> 00:37:05,120 Speaker 3: since he's plus three fifty, are you taking either one 582 00:37:05,120 --> 00:37:05,520 Speaker 3: of those? 583 00:37:05,920 --> 00:37:07,879 Speaker 4: These do not tell me you're taking Cincy. You gotta 584 00:37:07,920 --> 00:37:09,279 Speaker 4: walk away from Cincinnati at some. 585 00:37:09,320 --> 00:37:16,600 Speaker 2: Point, So right now I wouldn't take either, but I 586 00:37:16,680 --> 00:37:21,719 Speaker 2: do like Cincey's chances more than San Francisco. So let's 587 00:37:21,760 --> 00:37:24,440 Speaker 2: talk about the Niners for a minute, because I don't 588 00:37:24,560 --> 00:37:30,000 Speaker 2: think people recognize what rough shape they're in because they're 589 00:37:30,080 --> 00:37:34,560 Speaker 2: only one game out of their division. They're five and five, 590 00:37:34,680 --> 00:37:38,560 Speaker 2: same with Seattle and the Rams. Arizona's six and four. 591 00:37:39,520 --> 00:37:44,000 Speaker 2: But they are now in a position we're almost assuredly 592 00:37:44,960 --> 00:37:50,080 Speaker 2: they are going to lose all tie breakers. They They're 593 00:37:50,160 --> 00:37:53,520 Speaker 2: on and one against Arizona, one one against the Rams, 594 00:37:53,880 --> 00:37:56,879 Speaker 2: one and one against Seattle, so the best they could 595 00:37:56,960 --> 00:37:59,920 Speaker 2: hope for is to split with everyone, so they're not 596 00:38:00,239 --> 00:38:03,000 Speaker 2: have any head to head tiebreakers and have a three 597 00:38:03,040 --> 00:38:07,000 Speaker 2: and three divisional record and so that just puts them 598 00:38:07,640 --> 00:38:12,440 Speaker 2: in such rough shape, particularly against the Rams and the Cardinals, 599 00:38:13,239 --> 00:38:16,960 Speaker 2: and so they're gonna need a better record than those teams. 600 00:38:17,440 --> 00:38:21,400 Speaker 2: And the other thing San Francisco is going against it 601 00:38:21,440 --> 00:38:25,360 Speaker 2: is who it has coming up. They are at the Packers, 602 00:38:26,120 --> 00:38:30,320 Speaker 2: then they are at the Bills, then home for the Bears, 603 00:38:31,080 --> 00:38:35,799 Speaker 2: home for the Rams, at the Dolphins, home for the Lions, 604 00:38:36,440 --> 00:38:43,400 Speaker 2: at the Cardinals. So the only the only teams left 605 00:38:43,440 --> 00:38:46,680 Speaker 2: on their schedule that are below five hundred is the 606 00:38:46,680 --> 00:38:51,359 Speaker 2: Bears game and the Dolphins game. Dolphins game, you know, 607 00:38:51,520 --> 00:38:55,280 Speaker 2: on the road against where it's not gonna be cold 608 00:38:55,280 --> 00:38:59,520 Speaker 2: in Miami. So what do we think the Niners max 609 00:38:59,560 --> 00:39:04,520 Speaker 2: out at nine wins go four and three the rest 610 00:39:04,560 --> 00:39:09,960 Speaker 2: of the way Packers, Bills, Bears, Rams, Dolphins, Lions, Cardinals, 611 00:39:10,880 --> 00:39:16,360 Speaker 2: and I think someone else like Arizona would need So 612 00:39:16,400 --> 00:39:21,359 Speaker 2: if the again, that would mean Arizona. If the if 613 00:39:21,360 --> 00:39:24,840 Speaker 2: the Niners max out at nine, Arizona has to max 614 00:39:24,880 --> 00:39:30,799 Speaker 2: out at eight, Arizona's got six and two of their 615 00:39:30,840 --> 00:39:36,000 Speaker 2: games left are Patriots Panthers, So that would then mean 616 00:39:36,040 --> 00:39:40,680 Speaker 2: they just need to win one of Seattle twice, the Vikings, 617 00:39:40,719 --> 00:39:44,839 Speaker 2: the Rams, and that Niner game. Like, I just think 618 00:39:44,880 --> 00:39:47,160 Speaker 2: they're in and that's not even talking about the Rams. 619 00:39:47,560 --> 00:39:52,880 Speaker 2: A Rams team that is it five wins, has games 620 00:39:52,960 --> 00:39:59,280 Speaker 2: left against the Saints, Jets, and then tougher games Eagles, Bills, 621 00:39:59,320 --> 00:40:03,600 Speaker 2: the Niner game Cardinal Seahawks. Like I ain't the I 622 00:40:03,640 --> 00:40:08,600 Speaker 2: aink the Niners are cooked and that will lead to 623 00:40:08,640 --> 00:40:11,160 Speaker 2: an interesting do we or do we not pay brock 624 00:40:11,200 --> 00:40:13,760 Speaker 2: Purty question, which we can do at a later show. 625 00:40:14,360 --> 00:40:18,160 Speaker 2: The Bengals, on the other hand, are probably cooked. Thing 626 00:40:18,200 --> 00:40:21,360 Speaker 2: with the Bengals is do I think it's on the 627 00:40:21,440 --> 00:40:26,120 Speaker 2: board that the Broncos and Colts, who are ahead of them, 628 00:40:26,560 --> 00:40:29,480 Speaker 2: you know, go on a five game losing streak at 629 00:40:29,480 --> 00:40:35,279 Speaker 2: any moment. It's possible the Broncos, though, get the Browns 630 00:40:35,640 --> 00:40:39,160 Speaker 2: and the Colts that I'm sorry Raiders, Browns, Cults next 631 00:40:39,200 --> 00:40:42,480 Speaker 2: three weeks. So as long as the Broncos don't fall 632 00:40:42,520 --> 00:40:45,560 Speaker 2: on their face there, they should have a decent cushion 633 00:40:45,680 --> 00:40:49,760 Speaker 2: going into the final three of the season, which is Chargers, Bengals, Chiefs. 634 00:40:49,800 --> 00:40:52,120 Speaker 2: But maybe the Chiefs are resting people there, so the 635 00:40:52,160 --> 00:40:55,719 Speaker 2: Broncos are in really good shape. And then there's the Dolphins, 636 00:40:56,400 --> 00:40:59,680 Speaker 2: who I wouldn't quite right off yet Dolphins all of 637 00:40:59,680 --> 00:41:02,960 Speaker 2: a sudden one two in a row the rest of 638 00:41:03,000 --> 00:41:09,239 Speaker 2: their schedule Patriots, Packers, Jets, Texans, Niners, Browns. Jets get 639 00:41:09,280 --> 00:41:12,800 Speaker 2: the Jets twice, the Browns get the Patriots. That should 640 00:41:12,800 --> 00:41:16,120 Speaker 2: be four wins. How can they do in the Packers, Texans, 641 00:41:16,239 --> 00:41:21,879 Speaker 2: Niners batch? So I wouldn't pick either. I think Cincinnati's 642 00:41:21,920 --> 00:41:26,920 Speaker 2: got a slightly better chance. You can ask. 643 00:41:29,520 --> 00:41:31,640 Speaker 3: Poked at this or hinted at this last week. I 644 00:41:31,680 --> 00:41:34,600 Speaker 3: just want to give myself congratulations Zach Tyler was fired. 645 00:41:34,880 --> 00:41:38,160 Speaker 3: Would Cincinnati be the best best job for somebody like Belichick? 646 00:41:40,360 --> 00:41:45,240 Speaker 2: It, I mean, yes because of Burrow? No, because of ownership. 647 00:41:45,800 --> 00:41:49,279 Speaker 2: So I mean, it's just such bad ownership there. But 648 00:41:49,400 --> 00:41:51,840 Speaker 2: you would have Burrow if you're Belichick, And it's like, 649 00:41:51,880 --> 00:41:54,000 Speaker 2: hey man, I just want to stack these wins, catch 650 00:41:54,040 --> 00:41:59,080 Speaker 2: Shula starting with Burrow and Chase. He builds the defense 651 00:42:00,160 --> 00:42:03,200 Speaker 2: like the offense is already put together. That makes sense, 652 00:42:03,640 --> 00:42:08,560 Speaker 2: But I just think ownership is almost disqualifying for the 653 00:42:08,600 --> 00:42:12,799 Speaker 2: top head coaches. Maybe not, but just I don't think 654 00:42:12,920 --> 00:42:16,280 Speaker 2: Mike Brown's got the best reputation, especially on spending money. 655 00:42:16,360 --> 00:42:19,120 Speaker 3: Is it just is it just cheapness that he has 656 00:42:19,440 --> 00:42:25,160 Speaker 3: that's his biggest flaw. Yeah, yeah, like the Jets. It's 657 00:42:25,200 --> 00:42:26,600 Speaker 3: not just like negligence. 658 00:42:26,760 --> 00:42:32,040 Speaker 2: No, no, it's not. I mean, it's it's is. Yeah, 659 00:42:32,080 --> 00:42:36,640 Speaker 2: you're right, it's not the worst ownership situation, but it's 660 00:42:36,880 --> 00:42:43,680 Speaker 2: it's the worst ownership situation that doesn't involve like malfeasance 661 00:42:44,640 --> 00:42:49,120 Speaker 2: or just rank incompetence. Right, So like rank in competence 662 00:42:49,160 --> 00:42:52,640 Speaker 2: would be like Jets, Brown's malfeasans would be like what 663 00:42:52,840 --> 00:42:57,799 Speaker 2: Washington used to have with Snyder. But it's right after that, 664 00:42:57,840 --> 00:42:59,399 Speaker 2: so that's fair. All right, let's play the game. 665 00:43:00,000 --> 00:43:03,200 Speaker 3: All right, we were playing this or that today? First off, 666 00:43:04,040 --> 00:43:06,600 Speaker 3: Justin Herbert had some big time throws against since he 667 00:43:07,000 --> 00:43:09,920 Speaker 3: but almost cost the charges of the game with some 668 00:43:09,960 --> 00:43:13,480 Speaker 3: bad ones up. He's in a year five? What's the 669 00:43:13,520 --> 00:43:15,719 Speaker 3: deal with Justin Herbert? Is he elite or do you 670 00:43:15,800 --> 00:43:17,320 Speaker 3: not trust him? 671 00:43:17,719 --> 00:43:21,120 Speaker 2: Oh? I definitely don't trust him. He has elite traits 672 00:43:21,600 --> 00:43:24,520 Speaker 2: and you saw that on display in the first half 673 00:43:24,560 --> 00:43:28,880 Speaker 2: Sunday night when he's just throwing twenty yard lasers, running 674 00:43:28,960 --> 00:43:31,440 Speaker 2: the ball like more than he's done at any point 675 00:43:31,440 --> 00:43:35,480 Speaker 2: in years, and looking totally dynamic, and then all of 676 00:43:35,480 --> 00:43:38,719 Speaker 2: a sudden he goes seven of twenty out of nowhere 677 00:43:39,120 --> 00:43:41,040 Speaker 2: has a fumble that could have lost him the game. 678 00:43:41,400 --> 00:43:44,760 Speaker 2: It felt so much like the playoff game against the Jags, 679 00:43:45,320 --> 00:43:49,239 Speaker 2: where he's just unbelievable early and then goes ice cold late, 680 00:43:49,360 --> 00:43:52,719 Speaker 2: except this one the Chargers were able to win. You know, 681 00:43:52,840 --> 00:43:58,440 Speaker 2: I get frush Danny. Danny Parkin's breakfast Ball loves Herbert 682 00:43:58,880 --> 00:44:01,640 Speaker 2: like I think he truly believes. He wouldn't say this, 683 00:44:01,960 --> 00:44:04,520 Speaker 2: but I think he believes Herbert's the second or third 684 00:44:04,520 --> 00:44:08,680 Speaker 2: best quarterback alive. That it's Mahomes Herbert Allen or Mahomes 685 00:44:08,760 --> 00:44:12,680 Speaker 2: Allen Herbert. I mean, he's on the record saying that 686 00:44:12,719 --> 00:44:16,520 Speaker 2: he thinks Herbert has ninety percent of the talent of 687 00:44:16,560 --> 00:44:19,640 Speaker 2: Patrick Mahomes. So think about that. He thinks Mahomes the 688 00:44:19,640 --> 00:44:23,719 Speaker 2: most talented quarterback ever. Herbert's ninety percent of it. And 689 00:44:23,760 --> 00:44:27,120 Speaker 2: I listen, I give Danny a hard time because when 690 00:44:27,120 --> 00:44:31,080 Speaker 2: you're five, like Caleb is ten games into his career. 691 00:44:31,560 --> 00:44:35,799 Speaker 2: So I am still leaning heavily on my college evaluation 692 00:44:35,880 --> 00:44:40,760 Speaker 2: of Caleb Williams because that's the majority of his football career. 693 00:44:41,520 --> 00:44:45,440 Speaker 2: Herbert's in his fifth season and so much of it 694 00:44:45,480 --> 00:44:48,640 Speaker 2: is still leaning heavily on his traits coming out of college. 695 00:44:49,200 --> 00:44:54,000 Speaker 2: So listen, he is an elite talent who hasn't quite 696 00:44:54,120 --> 00:44:57,319 Speaker 2: yet put it all together. He was close to its 697 00:44:57,320 --> 00:44:58,040 Speaker 2: Sunday night. 698 00:44:58,600 --> 00:45:01,360 Speaker 3: Oh I'm sorry getting into a go ahead real with it. 699 00:45:01,520 --> 00:45:03,440 Speaker 3: What do you think Herbert and the Niners would look like? 700 00:45:03,960 --> 00:45:06,279 Speaker 3: What would that make their chances get Super Bowl? 701 00:45:06,440 --> 00:45:09,840 Speaker 2: Oh? I mean they'd be way, way, way better. I 702 00:45:09,880 --> 00:45:12,560 Speaker 2: mean that. Yeah, I mean that for sure with all 703 00:45:12,560 --> 00:45:15,480 Speaker 2: those weapons. But it should be noted. Like, here's the 704 00:45:15,520 --> 00:45:18,840 Speaker 2: other thing that frustrates me out some of the Herbert commentary. 705 00:45:18,920 --> 00:45:22,719 Speaker 2: For years, people were picking the Chargers to win that 706 00:45:22,800 --> 00:45:26,120 Speaker 2: division and be a darker or Super Bowl contender. People 707 00:45:26,320 --> 00:45:29,759 Speaker 2: loved the talent he had four years, and then when 708 00:45:29,760 --> 00:45:32,239 Speaker 2: the team inevitably finished eight nine or nine and eight, 709 00:45:32,280 --> 00:45:33,799 Speaker 2: people would be like, well, what do you want him 710 00:45:33,840 --> 00:45:35,719 Speaker 2: to do? He doesn't have enough talent. But then the 711 00:45:35,800 --> 00:45:37,600 Speaker 2: very next year they'd run it back with the same guys. 712 00:45:37,640 --> 00:45:40,640 Speaker 2: They'd be like, they can win the super Bowl, all right, next. 713 00:45:41,360 --> 00:45:44,040 Speaker 3: The lives of the Super Bowl favorites for now, but 714 00:45:44,120 --> 00:45:46,960 Speaker 3: you have some doubts if they don't win the NFC. 715 00:45:47,040 --> 00:45:51,320 Speaker 3: What's the reason the Lions demises golf or the defense. 716 00:45:52,719 --> 00:45:54,560 Speaker 2: I would think it'd be more likely to be the 717 00:45:54,640 --> 00:45:59,319 Speaker 2: defense because the Angeloni injuries big. They already lost Hutchinson. 718 00:45:59,719 --> 00:46:03,839 Speaker 2: So here's here's the problem. You know what Wild's got 719 00:46:03,840 --> 00:46:07,400 Speaker 2: annoyed with me about yesterday was we were asked the question, 720 00:46:07,680 --> 00:46:10,880 Speaker 2: are the Lions the best team in the NFL? And 721 00:46:10,920 --> 00:46:12,560 Speaker 2: I don't know if you heard what I said, Demon's, 722 00:46:12,760 --> 00:46:14,959 Speaker 2: but you're probably not gonna like it either. You're gonna 723 00:46:14,960 --> 00:46:16,879 Speaker 2: make one of those faces where you're like, oh man, 724 00:46:16,920 --> 00:46:19,080 Speaker 2: that was too harsh, Like you said, like the face 725 00:46:19,120 --> 00:46:21,600 Speaker 2: you made wasn't making fun of Tommy DeVito's agent for 726 00:46:21,800 --> 00:46:24,520 Speaker 2: you know, of doing everything but walking around with a 727 00:46:24,560 --> 00:46:27,040 Speaker 2: sign that said please take a picture with me at 728 00:46:27,040 --> 00:46:31,280 Speaker 2: the Yankee game. So here's what I said about golf 729 00:46:33,320 --> 00:46:37,799 Speaker 2: in the modern NFL. I do not think you can 730 00:46:37,920 --> 00:46:43,520 Speaker 2: be the best team in the NFL, considered the best 731 00:46:43,520 --> 00:46:46,920 Speaker 2: team in the league if you have a civilian at quarterback. 732 00:46:47,920 --> 00:46:51,920 Speaker 2: And the word civilian is what I think annoyed people. 733 00:46:53,040 --> 00:46:58,520 Speaker 2: But by that, what I mean is when the other 734 00:46:58,800 --> 00:47:02,600 Speaker 2: teams you're in the debate with. So the teams in 735 00:47:02,719 --> 00:47:06,000 Speaker 2: the debate for best team in the NFL right now 736 00:47:06,640 --> 00:47:10,960 Speaker 2: are the Chiefs, the Bills and the Lions, And so 737 00:47:11,040 --> 00:47:15,080 Speaker 2: if the other two teams have superheroes at quarterback and 738 00:47:15,160 --> 00:47:18,879 Speaker 2: you have a civilian at quarterback, it doesn't mean you 739 00:47:18,960 --> 00:47:22,440 Speaker 2: can't win the super Bowl. It really doesn't. But it 740 00:47:22,560 --> 00:47:26,640 Speaker 2: does mean you're gonna be fighting uphill in the biggest 741 00:47:26,640 --> 00:47:33,160 Speaker 2: games of the year, because when everything goes wrong, can 742 00:47:33,280 --> 00:47:36,840 Speaker 2: your guy make it right. There's only a handful of 743 00:47:36,960 --> 00:47:39,719 Speaker 2: human beings alive that that applies to, and by the way, 744 00:47:40,280 --> 00:47:45,439 Speaker 2: they might all be in the AFC unless Stafford can 745 00:47:45,480 --> 00:47:48,080 Speaker 2: tap back into Stafford from a couple of years ago. 746 00:47:48,440 --> 00:47:53,839 Speaker 2: The NFC doesn't have any superheroes. Jalen's not. Jordan Love 747 00:47:53,920 --> 00:48:00,120 Speaker 2: isn't not yet. Sam Darnold certainly isn't. Kyler wants to, 748 00:48:00,320 --> 00:48:04,680 Speaker 2: but he's not like Purty obviously isn't like So all 749 00:48:04,719 --> 00:48:09,600 Speaker 2: the super superheroes are guys with super hero upside. Mahomes, 750 00:48:10,160 --> 00:48:15,799 Speaker 2: Alan Burrow, Lamar no, not, he's not superhero, you know, 751 00:48:15,960 --> 00:48:22,960 Speaker 2: Herbert All. It's why the Colts drafted Richardson because it's like, man, 752 00:48:23,040 --> 00:48:24,759 Speaker 2: we're in the AFC, we got to go with the 753 00:48:24,840 --> 00:48:26,960 Speaker 2: guy that might be able to be a superhero. And 754 00:48:27,040 --> 00:48:30,040 Speaker 2: some people might say Burrow doesn't qualify because he doesn't 755 00:48:30,040 --> 00:48:33,319 Speaker 2: have the measurables or the traits, but his superpower is 756 00:48:34,000 --> 00:48:38,760 Speaker 2: the accuracy, precision, relationship with chase ability and big moments. 757 00:48:38,800 --> 00:48:42,000 Speaker 2: Like his superpower is closer to like what Brady's was. 758 00:48:42,480 --> 00:48:47,840 Speaker 2: But so I think Detroit's awesome, and I don't. I 759 00:48:47,880 --> 00:48:50,520 Speaker 2: think they've done a great job building a team perfect 760 00:48:50,560 --> 00:48:55,680 Speaker 2: for Jared Goff, and I don't think he's gonna ruin him. Listen, 761 00:48:55,960 --> 00:48:58,520 Speaker 2: I saw brock Perty make the Super Bowl last year 762 00:48:59,560 --> 00:49:03,040 Speaker 2: in the exact perfect circumstance, and they could have won. 763 00:49:03,640 --> 00:49:05,640 Speaker 2: So I'm not saying they can't win the super Bowl. 764 00:49:05,640 --> 00:49:10,080 Speaker 2: What I'm saying is it's so hard for me to 765 00:49:10,160 --> 00:49:13,600 Speaker 2: say you are actually the favorite, you're actually the best 766 00:49:13,640 --> 00:49:17,640 Speaker 2: team if you don't have one of those guys as 767 00:49:17,680 --> 00:49:18,640 Speaker 2: your signal caller. 768 00:49:18,920 --> 00:49:22,160 Speaker 3: All right, Next, we spent a lot of time making 769 00:49:22,160 --> 00:49:24,880 Speaker 3: fun of Russell Wilson, but he's been great in Pittsburgh's 770 00:49:24,880 --> 00:49:27,560 Speaker 3: been lighted it up over there. Meanwhile, bo Nicks now 771 00:49:27,640 --> 00:49:29,320 Speaker 3: is the second best odds to win Rookie of the 772 00:49:29,400 --> 00:49:32,879 Speaker 3: Year happier with their quarterback Pittsburgh or Denver. 773 00:49:35,320 --> 00:49:39,920 Speaker 2: Oh right now, probably Denver because Knicks has exceeded expectations. Now, 774 00:49:40,000 --> 00:49:44,080 Speaker 2: remember before the year, when we were talking offensive Rookie 775 00:49:44,120 --> 00:49:49,919 Speaker 2: of the Year, I created the category of most likely 776 00:49:50,000 --> 00:49:53,080 Speaker 2: to fool people into thinking he's good, and I said 777 00:49:53,120 --> 00:49:54,960 Speaker 2: bow Nicks was the number one draft pick for that. 778 00:49:55,920 --> 00:50:00,200 Speaker 2: He's your age, demons, he played six years of college football. 779 00:50:00,440 --> 00:50:03,680 Speaker 2: He like just a little context. People think the thing 780 00:50:03,760 --> 00:50:09,760 Speaker 2: I'm joking about bo Nicks. Bow Knicks is three months younger, 781 00:50:10,680 --> 00:50:15,560 Speaker 2: three months younger than Trevor Lawrence. When I say he's 782 00:50:15,600 --> 00:50:19,840 Speaker 2: an old rookie, he's an old rookie, Okay. So the 783 00:50:20,520 --> 00:50:24,640 Speaker 2: he turns twenty five in January, so he had that 784 00:50:24,800 --> 00:50:29,080 Speaker 2: going for him and Sean Payton's offense. So I but 785 00:50:29,160 --> 00:50:32,240 Speaker 2: they're really happy because he has shown such a high 786 00:50:32,320 --> 00:50:35,520 Speaker 2: floor that they feel like, Okay, we have our guy. 787 00:50:36,160 --> 00:50:38,319 Speaker 2: And again, I don't know they there's a little mac 788 00:50:38,400 --> 00:50:42,360 Speaker 2: Jones potential here, not fall off like that, but where 789 00:50:42,960 --> 00:50:47,360 Speaker 2: he is at his full ceiling his rookie season. Russell 790 00:50:47,400 --> 00:50:52,799 Speaker 2: Wilson Man. The fact that the Steelers won that game 791 00:50:52,960 --> 00:50:56,359 Speaker 2: despite Russell playing that way is a testament to their 792 00:50:56,400 --> 00:51:00,560 Speaker 2: coaching and their defense. And that pick in the end 793 00:51:00,680 --> 00:51:04,319 Speaker 2: zone was maybe the worst non Will Levis play of 794 00:51:04,360 --> 00:51:08,000 Speaker 2: the season, so I like as happy as Pittsburgh is 795 00:51:08,080 --> 00:51:14,040 Speaker 2: right now. I think Russ has actually played a touch 796 00:51:14,239 --> 00:51:18,040 Speaker 2: worse in each game of the season so far. Thought 797 00:51:18,040 --> 00:51:21,920 Speaker 2: his best was the Jets, then the Giants so pretty good, 798 00:51:22,719 --> 00:51:26,520 Speaker 2: Washington not great at all, and then the Ravens game, 799 00:51:26,560 --> 00:51:28,960 Speaker 2: I thought he was bad and they won despite it. 800 00:51:29,719 --> 00:51:33,759 Speaker 3: All right, next, both Caleb Williams and Drake May had 801 00:51:33,760 --> 00:51:37,040 Speaker 3: good games despite losses, though, But it seems like people 802 00:51:37,040 --> 00:51:39,560 Speaker 3: are very high on Drake May and hardly noticed Caleb 803 00:51:39,600 --> 00:51:45,200 Speaker 3: Williams Good Weekend, most illusional Caleb's critics or Drake's devotees. 804 00:51:46,320 --> 00:51:48,760 Speaker 2: You know what I'm gonna go with neither, because listen 805 00:51:48,800 --> 00:51:52,920 Speaker 2: the Caleb critics, I think it's been mostly fair. People 806 00:51:52,960 --> 00:51:54,600 Speaker 2: giving up on him are saying the Bears made the 807 00:51:54,600 --> 00:51:56,600 Speaker 2: wrong pick, that's too much. But he hasn't played up 808 00:51:56,680 --> 00:51:59,200 Speaker 2: to the level we would have hoped. And I understand 809 00:51:59,200 --> 00:52:02,520 Speaker 2: why people are excited about Drake May. But this also 810 00:52:02,880 --> 00:52:08,560 Speaker 2: is there's a lot of play here. One is because 811 00:52:08,640 --> 00:52:11,760 Speaker 2: everyone expected and was fine with the Patriots being awful. 812 00:52:12,400 --> 00:52:15,120 Speaker 2: Drake is going out there and just letting it rip, 813 00:52:15,480 --> 00:52:18,760 Speaker 2: which is super fun. He has big plays, he throws 814 00:52:18,800 --> 00:52:21,680 Speaker 2: picks to end games. He makes mistakes, but then he 815 00:52:21,719 --> 00:52:25,319 Speaker 2: makes awesome plays. Because for the Bears, it was like 816 00:52:25,400 --> 00:52:28,600 Speaker 2: we can be a playoff team, we should be good it. 817 00:52:29,520 --> 00:52:32,359 Speaker 2: We haven't gotten that out of Caleb. He has been 818 00:52:32,400 --> 00:52:35,839 Speaker 2: playing a safe, you know brand of football, just don't 819 00:52:35,840 --> 00:52:38,360 Speaker 2: make the big mistake. And and you hate that for 820 00:52:38,440 --> 00:52:42,080 Speaker 2: a rookie. And that's because of the disparate team expectations. 821 00:52:42,640 --> 00:52:47,680 Speaker 2: But the other thing, oh, this last game, so right, 822 00:52:47,920 --> 00:52:52,040 Speaker 2: So here's my hypothesis. I think Shane Waldron, who was 823 00:52:52,080 --> 00:52:55,080 Speaker 2: the offensive coordinator, was like, I'm gonna be Caleb's offensive 824 00:52:55,080 --> 00:53:00,200 Speaker 2: coordinator for years. We are going to try, even though 825 00:53:00,200 --> 00:53:04,399 Speaker 2: we might struggle his rookie year, to install big boy 826 00:53:04,520 --> 00:53:09,200 Speaker 2: quarterbacking habits where you're gonna go through all your progressions. 827 00:53:09,920 --> 00:53:13,720 Speaker 2: We know you can run, don't run, stay in the pocket, 828 00:53:14,200 --> 00:53:19,160 Speaker 2: all these things. Meanwhile, the other rookies like Jaden and 829 00:53:19,280 --> 00:53:23,400 Speaker 2: bo a ton of like what there were what Jaden 830 00:53:23,719 --> 00:53:25,800 Speaker 2: when the guy from the Bengals was like, it's a 831 00:53:25,840 --> 00:53:29,800 Speaker 2: real nice college offense. Jaden is running. He wasn't totally wrong. 832 00:53:30,280 --> 00:53:34,799 Speaker 2: What he was saying was Cliff Kingsbury was telling Jaden Daniels, 833 00:53:35,280 --> 00:53:38,439 Speaker 2: look at your first read if it's not there, look 834 00:53:38,480 --> 00:53:42,799 Speaker 2: at your checkdown, and if it's not there, run And 835 00:53:42,880 --> 00:53:46,239 Speaker 2: it worked. First read was open a lot. If not, 836 00:53:46,320 --> 00:53:48,680 Speaker 2: go right to the checkdown. If not, be an athlete. 837 00:53:51,160 --> 00:53:55,160 Speaker 2: Pardon me, for the first time all year, that's what 838 00:53:55,480 --> 00:53:59,239 Speaker 2: the Caleb was coached to do. Look at your first read, 839 00:53:59,520 --> 00:54:02,080 Speaker 2: look at your check down. If it's not their run 840 00:54:02,200 --> 00:54:04,960 Speaker 2: and he ran for seventy yards, got comfortable as the 841 00:54:05,000 --> 00:54:09,120 Speaker 2: game went on. All these things. Now, that's not all 842 00:54:09,200 --> 00:54:12,839 Speaker 2: quarterbacking is, and he's got to develop more. But it 843 00:54:12,880 --> 00:54:15,719 Speaker 2: was a good way to level set him since it 844 00:54:15,760 --> 00:54:18,520 Speaker 2: was going in such a negative reaction. All right, let's 845 00:54:18,560 --> 00:54:19,279 Speaker 2: go to the next one. 846 00:54:20,640 --> 00:54:23,560 Speaker 3: Twelve weeks in and the most impactful free agents of 847 00:54:23,600 --> 00:54:28,240 Speaker 3: the NFL offseason have been running backs Saquon Barkley, Derrick Henry, 848 00:54:28,520 --> 00:54:30,840 Speaker 3: even Joe Mixon just lit it up last night. Or 849 00:54:30,920 --> 00:54:34,960 Speaker 3: veteran running backs reshaped our veteran running backs reshaping the position. 850 00:54:35,400 --> 00:54:39,480 Speaker 3: Running backs are worth paying or not essential. 851 00:54:40,200 --> 00:54:44,720 Speaker 2: Well at this point, given how the market has moved 852 00:54:45,320 --> 00:54:47,320 Speaker 2: at this point, I think they might be worth paying 853 00:54:47,360 --> 00:54:51,640 Speaker 2: somewhat so the right if we're talking six to eight 854 00:54:51,760 --> 00:54:57,040 Speaker 2: million bucks, when you know wide receiver three goes for 855 00:54:57,400 --> 00:55:01,600 Speaker 2: ten million. Yeah, the now it's you know what I mean. 856 00:55:01,640 --> 00:55:05,640 Speaker 2: Now we've kind of flipped. Like the Chief signed Hollywood 857 00:55:05,640 --> 00:55:09,600 Speaker 2: Brown for six million dollars is an ex you know, 858 00:55:09,640 --> 00:55:14,160 Speaker 2: Derrick Henry makes eight. So like, I do think there 859 00:55:14,239 --> 00:55:17,920 Speaker 2: is a level of where the market has moved enough 860 00:55:17,960 --> 00:55:20,239 Speaker 2: to where you'd consider it. I still think you can 861 00:55:20,320 --> 00:55:24,400 Speaker 2: find them in the draft. But if what you can't 862 00:55:24,440 --> 00:55:27,399 Speaker 2: do is what the Cowboys did, not spend money on 863 00:55:27,400 --> 00:55:31,360 Speaker 2: one and not identify somebody in the draft you really like? 864 00:55:31,480 --> 00:55:32,399 Speaker 2: All right, last one? 865 00:55:32,400 --> 00:55:36,160 Speaker 3: Demonsey, your rival Mina Khim suggests that you get on 866 00:55:36,239 --> 00:55:39,040 Speaker 3: Blue Sky. It seems like people are threatening to leave 867 00:55:39,360 --> 00:55:42,120 Speaker 3: X in waves, but we haven't seen the shift yet. 868 00:55:43,200 --> 00:55:45,759 Speaker 4: Get Nick right on X. Are you staying? Are you going? 869 00:55:47,239 --> 00:55:49,880 Speaker 2: Well, I'm staying. But I also did sign up. I 870 00:55:50,280 --> 00:55:53,200 Speaker 2: had signed up Evidently I didn't realize it for Blue 871 00:55:53,239 --> 00:55:55,719 Speaker 2: Sky years ago because it said I already had an 872 00:55:55,800 --> 00:55:58,879 Speaker 2: account and it was at Gettingick right, and I'm trying 873 00:55:58,880 --> 00:56:02,520 Speaker 2: to post somewhat on both places. Let me see how 874 00:56:02,600 --> 00:56:05,480 Speaker 2: the So what I didn't want to do is I 875 00:56:05,480 --> 00:56:09,600 Speaker 2: don't like the announcement, like I'm using this social media now, 876 00:56:09,640 --> 00:56:12,520 Speaker 2: But also how then do you get people to know 877 00:56:12,640 --> 00:56:14,799 Speaker 2: you're on there if you don't do that. So I'm 878 00:56:14,840 --> 00:56:21,960 Speaker 2: not really sure, Listen, I'm not I'm not gonna act 879 00:56:22,040 --> 00:56:27,560 Speaker 2: like I'm leaving Twitter based on like principled grounds. Maybe 880 00:56:27,560 --> 00:56:30,600 Speaker 2: maybe I should, maybe I shouldn't, but it's where, you know, 881 00:56:30,640 --> 00:56:34,080 Speaker 2: I've got six seven hundred thousand people. It's a good 882 00:56:34,080 --> 00:56:36,759 Speaker 2: way to get a message out still, even though the 883 00:56:36,840 --> 00:56:40,400 Speaker 2: for utab is a hellscape like just follow who you follow, 884 00:56:40,480 --> 00:56:44,080 Speaker 2: So I'm still using that, but I'm trying to you know, 885 00:56:44,440 --> 00:56:47,040 Speaker 2: I'll try to put stuff on Blue Sky as well, 886 00:56:47,040 --> 00:56:49,600 Speaker 2: because it does seem like some people left. I don't know, 887 00:56:49,640 --> 00:56:52,040 Speaker 2: you know what I mean, it's I don't know that 888 00:56:52,520 --> 00:56:55,480 Speaker 2: the percentage of it, but some people left. So we'll 889 00:56:55,480 --> 00:56:58,000 Speaker 2: try to post on both. That's the short version. All right, 890 00:56:58,560 --> 00:57:01,719 Speaker 2: let me answer some listener take quick break answers, some 891 00:57:01,800 --> 00:57:09,239 Speaker 2: listener questions. Next we'll right, all right, welcome back in. 892 00:57:09,320 --> 00:57:12,239 Speaker 2: What's right with Nick? Right, demand, let's do some listener questions. 893 00:57:12,920 --> 00:57:16,800 Speaker 3: Uh splash his own, Nick, Uh, I beseech you and 894 00:57:17,320 --> 00:57:20,600 Speaker 3: implore you as you enter your bachelor phase on first things. 895 00:57:20,640 --> 00:57:22,280 Speaker 4: First, consider the rams. 896 00:57:23,440 --> 00:57:26,520 Speaker 2: Oh, I'm more than considering the rams. I've got a 897 00:57:26,560 --> 00:57:30,880 Speaker 2: trip scheduled to Los Angeles next week. Actually to you know, 898 00:57:31,120 --> 00:57:33,920 Speaker 2: to see this Rams to the Super Bowl, take up 899 00:57:33,960 --> 00:57:36,160 Speaker 2: close and in person. No, the Rams are on the 900 00:57:36,200 --> 00:57:38,600 Speaker 2: short list. Rams are on the list, Eagles are on 901 00:57:38,640 --> 00:57:40,680 Speaker 2: the list, Lions are on the list. Those right now 902 00:57:40,720 --> 00:57:45,960 Speaker 2: are the three leading contenders for my NFC Super Bowl picks. 903 00:57:45,960 --> 00:57:50,040 Speaker 2: So don't you worry about that. Read tomorrow. Butler's question 904 00:57:50,080 --> 00:57:52,160 Speaker 2: demanse and I just want to tell the audience this 905 00:57:52,240 --> 00:57:55,320 Speaker 2: is sent in all caps, so everything go ahead. 906 00:57:55,440 --> 00:58:00,600 Speaker 3: Yes, this isn't all caps Toamar, Butler says Nick. Lamar 907 00:58:00,680 --> 00:58:03,520 Speaker 3: didn't fumble two times, Lamar did miss two field goals. 908 00:58:03,640 --> 00:58:05,880 Speaker 3: Lamar didn't get the ball ripped out of his hands, 909 00:58:05,880 --> 00:58:09,480 Speaker 3: and Lamar wasn't getting penalties to start drives first and twenty. 910 00:58:11,440 --> 00:58:14,480 Speaker 2: Did Lamar play well, Damar? Or did he complete forty 911 00:58:14,520 --> 00:58:19,959 Speaker 2: five percent of his passes? Like, listen, you're right, other 912 00:58:20,040 --> 00:58:24,280 Speaker 2: guys also made mistakes, But even if they had justin 913 00:58:24,360 --> 00:58:28,080 Speaker 2: Ducker and made his field goals, it wouldn't change fact. 914 00:58:28,120 --> 00:58:32,400 Speaker 2: Lamar played really poorly, and that's just not up for debate. 915 00:58:33,120 --> 00:58:38,120 Speaker 2: And we can continue to make these excuses, but this 916 00:58:38,280 --> 00:58:41,680 Speaker 2: is a it's a tough bridge when it's like they 917 00:58:41,760 --> 00:58:45,440 Speaker 2: lost the game and he played poorly, But you would 918 00:58:45,480 --> 00:58:48,040 Speaker 2: like me to create a scenario where they didn't lose 919 00:58:48,080 --> 00:58:50,960 Speaker 2: the game because one of those things didn't happen and 920 00:58:51,040 --> 00:58:53,600 Speaker 2: he didn't play poorly. Well, there's a lot of scenarios 921 00:58:53,640 --> 00:58:57,600 Speaker 2: we could create that are totally fictitious. This was not 922 00:58:57,720 --> 00:59:03,040 Speaker 2: a scenario. This was not the Bengals Ravens games where 923 00:59:03,040 --> 00:59:06,080 Speaker 2: both quarterbacks played great and someone had to lose. This 924 00:59:06,280 --> 00:59:10,040 Speaker 2: was actually the opposite. Both quarterbacks played poorly and someone 925 00:59:10,080 --> 00:59:15,000 Speaker 2: had to win. And after the Russell interception when the 926 00:59:16,200 --> 00:59:18,480 Speaker 2: you got a gift and it was Ravens down five 927 00:59:18,560 --> 00:59:21,320 Speaker 2: with the ball, go make a play, MVP. That's all, 928 00:59:21,720 --> 00:59:25,280 Speaker 2: Go make a play, all right, Let's keep moving. 929 00:59:25,840 --> 00:59:29,960 Speaker 3: Sorry, DeMar no oder Ariguaez. The Sixers are two and eleven. 930 00:59:30,080 --> 00:59:33,400 Speaker 3: Should embid try to get out of Philly, and emb. 931 00:59:33,280 --> 00:59:36,080 Speaker 2: Should try to play like an MVP and be available, 932 00:59:36,880 --> 00:59:41,080 Speaker 2: like I mean, the the you know, the the call 933 00:59:41,200 --> 00:59:44,960 Speaker 2: is coming from inside the house as far as Joel 934 00:59:45,000 --> 00:59:48,000 Speaker 2: Embi and the reasoning, Philly is struggling. So that's like, 935 00:59:48,400 --> 00:59:50,240 Speaker 2: there's not gonna be a lot of situations where and 936 00:59:50,280 --> 00:59:52,800 Speaker 2: I know guys have dealt with injuries, but better than 937 00:59:52,840 --> 00:59:54,960 Speaker 2: Maxie and George. Figure it out, make it work. There's 938 00:59:55,400 --> 00:59:58,840 Speaker 2: nobody's running right away with the bottom of the Eastern 939 00:59:58,880 --> 01:00:01,320 Speaker 2: Conference playoffs spot, She's still got plenty of time. 940 01:00:02,040 --> 01:00:06,720 Speaker 3: Next Uh, Danny Tanner. Is JJ Redick a legit head coach? 941 01:00:06,840 --> 01:00:08,760 Speaker 3: Or is it more fair to say that Darvin Ham 942 01:00:08,960 --> 01:00:11,440 Speaker 3: was over his skis both? 943 01:00:11,640 --> 01:00:14,120 Speaker 2: I mean, JJ Reddick is a legit head coach, ex's 944 01:00:14,160 --> 01:00:17,160 Speaker 2: and O's wise. I wonder how the softer coach skills 945 01:00:17,160 --> 01:00:19,480 Speaker 2: he's gonna do well with and but Darvin Ham was 946 01:00:19,520 --> 01:00:21,919 Speaker 2: also clueless, all right? 947 01:00:22,400 --> 01:00:27,000 Speaker 3: Next one, Scott Frasier Nick, I if Nick, if Cousins 948 01:00:27,080 --> 01:00:29,440 Speaker 3: keeps playing this bad, should the Falcon start? 949 01:00:29,480 --> 01:00:35,120 Speaker 2: Pinnis Uh, not yet, but let's see if it continues 950 01:00:35,720 --> 01:00:38,120 Speaker 2: like they're still in first in the division, and there's 951 01:00:38,200 --> 01:00:41,200 Speaker 2: you know, they see if it stabilizes. But the last 952 01:00:41,240 --> 01:00:46,600 Speaker 2: few weeks Cousins has looked really, really shaky. Rene Matta 953 01:00:46,680 --> 01:00:49,080 Speaker 2: asked me, when does the poker tournament come on? Not 954 01:00:49,200 --> 01:00:51,600 Speaker 2: for a few months, so I'll let you guys know. Uh. 955 01:00:51,640 --> 01:00:54,880 Speaker 2: And Tommy DeVito's agent evidently says I'm welcome for a photo. 956 01:00:55,000 --> 01:00:58,240 Speaker 2: I don't believe that's actually his agent. That's this isn't 957 01:00:58,880 --> 01:01:03,680 Speaker 2: actually obviously, but that is Deman's. That is what he 958 01:01:03,800 --> 01:01:06,440 Speaker 2: was wearing one of the two games that I was at, 959 01:01:06,720 --> 01:01:11,600 Speaker 2: an iridescent glowing Yankees coat and that hat. And I'm 960 01:01:11,640 --> 01:01:14,960 Speaker 2: here to tell you of the two days he was 961 01:01:15,000 --> 01:01:18,280 Speaker 2: getting that, I saw that I was two Yankee games. 962 01:01:18,320 --> 01:01:20,960 Speaker 2: Of that games four and five, this was the least 963 01:01:21,120 --> 01:01:26,120 Speaker 2: the less ostentatious of the two looks. I'm not making 964 01:01:26,160 --> 01:01:27,000 Speaker 2: it up, guys. 965 01:01:27,280 --> 01:01:29,240 Speaker 3: When I saw him in like green it was like 966 01:01:29,240 --> 01:01:31,800 Speaker 3: a green blazer or something, and like the soup pants 967 01:01:31,840 --> 01:01:33,920 Speaker 3: and he had on like some Jordan elevens or something 968 01:01:34,320 --> 01:01:37,080 Speaker 3: that one I thought was called might have been different 969 01:01:37,720 --> 01:01:38,920 Speaker 3: different venues, but. 970 01:01:39,800 --> 01:01:45,120 Speaker 2: The I mean, I yeah, I listen nobody. And it 971 01:01:45,240 --> 01:01:47,760 Speaker 2: was also I know, it's not I don't like the guy. 972 01:01:48,160 --> 01:01:51,360 Speaker 2: I didn't say I don't like the guy. Let's not 973 01:01:51,760 --> 01:01:55,320 Speaker 2: do that. I'm just telling you it was interesting to 974 01:01:55,440 --> 01:01:59,880 Speaker 2: watch someone like take laps and dart their eyes around 975 01:02:00,120 --> 01:02:03,960 Speaker 2: like if anyone noticed me, anyone got their phone out, 976 01:02:04,400 --> 01:02:07,480 Speaker 2: anyone want to quick snap a quick pick?
