00:01:03,280 --> 00:01:07,080
Speaker 2: back twenty years For me, I was a little upset

15
00:01:07,120 --> 00:01:10,960
Speaker 2: I wasn't included in the list of associates and enemies

16
00:01:11,040 --> 00:01:15,240
Speaker 2: on Steven A's grant last night. And now the goat

Speaker 2: head coach is gone in New England. So we will

18
00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:21,520
Speaker 2: get into all of that. But first what missed the

19
00:01:21,560 --> 00:01:26,000
Speaker 2: cut on today's show, Kawhi Leonard, Listen, whenever a guy

20
00:01:26,040 --> 00:01:28,080
Speaker 2: shows you you can stay healthy for three months, you

21
00:01:28,160 --> 00:01:30,080
Speaker 2: gotta triple down with a three or one hundred and

22
00:01:30,080 --> 00:01:32,919
Speaker 2: fifty three million dollar extension. That's not in the show.

23
00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:36,480
Speaker 2: Victor windbin Yama records his first career triple double. That's

24
00:01:36,520 --> 00:01:40,640
Speaker 2: on the show. And some stupid tweet comparing two quarterbacks

25
00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:44,160
Speaker 2: that is beneath us and beneath the show and does

26
00:01:44,200 --> 00:01:48,040
Speaker 2: not need to Jesus Man. Trevor Lawrence mac Jones get

27
00:01:48,080 --> 00:01:51,720
Speaker 2: out of NFL on CBS saw that their Trevor Lawrence

28
00:01:51,840 --> 00:01:55,280
Speaker 2: Daniel Jones tweet did so well, so they doubled down

29
00:01:55,320 --> 00:01:59,360
Speaker 2: with him Daniel Trevor Lawrence mac Jones tweet. So before

30
00:01:59,400 --> 00:02:01,880
Speaker 2: we get to be and Hi, Demanse look great. Love

31
00:02:01,960 --> 00:02:10,480
Speaker 2: the sweater. I I'm not gonna because of the news

32
00:02:10,600 --> 00:02:13,640
Speaker 2: and because of everything, I'm not gonna get into the

33
00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:17,960
Speaker 2: Aaron Rodgers thing today. The Belichick news is more noteworthy.

34
00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:22,280
Speaker 2: And listen, he did exactly what we said last week

35
00:02:22,320 --> 00:02:25,280
Speaker 2: we thought he would do. Who me what? Huh? No?

36
00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:30,560
Speaker 2: Never uh? How could you believe it? And the and

37
00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:33,400
Speaker 2: if you want to hear my full deeper thoughts on that,

38
00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:37,080
Speaker 2: not to promote a different podcast on this podcast, but

39
00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:40,680
Speaker 2: I joined Ethan Strauss last night for an hour on

40
00:02:40,880 --> 00:02:43,320
Speaker 2: his house of Strauss's new YouTube page.

41
00:02:43,919 --> 00:02:44,160
Speaker 3: Uh.

42
00:02:44,200 --> 00:02:46,760
Speaker 2: I know his substack is subscription, but I think the

43
00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:49,320
Speaker 2: YouTube thing is not paywalld. I'm not sure. I'll see

44
00:02:49,320 --> 00:02:51,520
Speaker 2: if Ethan can, if there is a paywall for it,

45
00:02:51,680 --> 00:02:53,680
Speaker 2: if he can take it down for this episode. If

46
00:02:53,720 --> 00:02:58,560
Speaker 2: you want to hear my reaction to Ethan's articles and

47
00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:00,680
Speaker 2: to what Aaron said on two that, you can listen

48
00:03:00,720 --> 00:03:04,360
Speaker 2: to it there. But there's actual sports news to get into.

49
00:03:04,720 --> 00:03:07,560
Speaker 2: So demanse go right ahead.

50
00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:12,200
Speaker 3: All right, breaking news. Legendary head coach Bill Belichick and

51
00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:14,840
Speaker 3: the Patriots look like they are officially split in ways.

52
00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:16,960
Speaker 3: You kind of called it this internet for like the

53
00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:20,760
Speaker 3: last three or four months. What are your instant reactions

54
00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:23,080
Speaker 3: and thoughts on his legacy as a whole.

55
00:03:24,520 --> 00:03:30,080
Speaker 2: Okay, so he's the greatest NFL coach ever, and that's

56
00:03:30,120 --> 00:03:34,720
Speaker 2: almost a universally held opinion. But I think there are

57
00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:44,200
Speaker 2: some really interesting angles here and thought exercises, and that's

58
00:03:44,240 --> 00:03:45,920
Speaker 2: what I want to spend the bulk of this first

59
00:03:45,920 --> 00:03:46,960
Speaker 2: twenty minutes of the show.

60
00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:47,040
Speaker 3: On.

61
00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:52,080
Speaker 2: So I went back this morning after the news broke

62
00:03:52,880 --> 00:03:57,960
Speaker 2: to Belichick's famous grand opening, grand closing press conference. And

63
00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:00,440
Speaker 2: one of the fun thing with the Jets, and one

64
00:04:00,440 --> 00:04:02,960
Speaker 2: of the fun things about doing this show with Demanse,

65
00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:05,040
Speaker 2: and this is not a shot at all at Demanse

66
00:04:05,640 --> 00:04:09,320
Speaker 2: is some of this stuff that people my age know,

67
00:04:09,680 --> 00:04:15,080
Speaker 2: chapter and verse. This happened literally when Demanse was months old.

68
00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:18,920
Speaker 2: And this will be kind of probably breaking news to him.

69
00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:23,960
Speaker 2: But Bill Belichick in nineteen ninety nine was named the

70
00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:26,919
Speaker 2: head coach of the New York Jets, and at what

71
00:04:27,160 --> 00:04:31,559
Speaker 2: was supposed to be his introductory press conference, jotted down

72
00:04:31,720 --> 00:04:35,719
Speaker 2: on a napkin, I resign and his introductory press conference,

73
00:04:35,760 --> 00:04:38,599
Speaker 2: He's like, actually not taking the job. And I went

74
00:04:38,640 --> 00:04:42,279
Speaker 2: back and then, yeah, Demonse knows nothing of this story.

75
00:04:43,200 --> 00:04:46,320
Speaker 2: And the reason I went back and watched it, and

76
00:04:46,360 --> 00:04:48,880
Speaker 2: the Patriots then traded for him to be their head

77
00:04:48,920 --> 00:04:51,240
Speaker 2: coach and they went on. The reason I went back

78
00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:54,600
Speaker 2: and watched it was because that was the last time

79
00:04:55,200 --> 00:05:02,640
Speaker 2: Bill Belichick spoke representing in other than the Patriots. It's

80
00:05:02,680 --> 00:05:06,560
Speaker 2: been a quarter century of him doing these press conferences

81
00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:10,120
Speaker 2: in front of Patriot logos, in front of Patriot stuff

82
00:05:10,160 --> 00:05:14,919
Speaker 2: as a Patriot head coach, and after today's farewell press conference,

83
00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:20,119
Speaker 2: the next time he speaks will be with another team.

84
00:05:21,240 --> 00:05:25,400
Speaker 2: And one part of that jumped out to me, which

85
00:05:25,520 --> 00:05:30,960
Speaker 2: is during that press conference he says, listen, I'm gonna

86
00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:34,120
Speaker 2: take the rest of today to spend time with my family,

87
00:05:34,640 --> 00:05:39,559
Speaker 2: but tomorrow I'll do all the interviews you guys want.

88
00:05:40,040 --> 00:05:43,039
Speaker 2: He's like, if you give me today and don't inundate

89
00:05:43,080 --> 00:05:45,560
Speaker 2: me with it, tomorrow, I'll be as available as you want,

90
00:05:45,560 --> 00:05:47,120
Speaker 2: because I know you're gonna have a lot of questions.

91
00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:54,360
Speaker 2: And he's like, so that means newspaper, TV, radio, and

92
00:05:54,400 --> 00:05:57,520
Speaker 2: then pause for a moment and says internet. And the

93
00:05:57,600 --> 00:06:04,240
Speaker 2: assembled press laughs and they laughed because it's like, oh,

94
00:06:04,920 --> 00:06:08,880
Speaker 2: talking about the Internet. You're gonna do interviews with the Internet.

95
00:06:09,200 --> 00:06:12,600
Speaker 2: And it was such like a silly throwaway thing, and

96
00:06:12,640 --> 00:06:16,640
Speaker 2: I was like, God, dogget man. Belichick's career with the

97
00:06:16,680 --> 00:06:22,440
Speaker 2: Patriots spanned the time to wear the Internet was thought

98
00:06:22,480 --> 00:06:27,000
Speaker 2: of as a throwaway whatever to where we are today.

99
00:06:27,560 --> 00:06:31,520
Speaker 2: The entire growth and breadth and change of the media

100
00:06:31,720 --> 00:06:36,599
Speaker 2: landscape in reference to the Internet happened while Bill Belichick

101
00:06:36,680 --> 00:06:39,920
Speaker 2: coached the Patriots. So that's one hell of a run,

102
00:06:40,440 --> 00:06:43,760
Speaker 2: one hell of a career. And the other thing that

103
00:06:43,839 --> 00:06:48,440
Speaker 2: I thought about today was we have the greatest football

104
00:06:48,440 --> 00:06:52,719
Speaker 2: coach ever in Belichick and one of the best coaches

105
00:06:52,720 --> 00:06:57,240
Speaker 2: of the modern era in Pete Carroll, both being forced

106
00:06:57,240 --> 00:07:01,200
Speaker 2: out essentially from their jobs within twenty four hours of

107
00:07:01,240 --> 00:07:05,000
Speaker 2: each other. And the symmetries are not just that Bill

108
00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:10,080
Speaker 2: Belichick succeeded Pete Carroll in New England. Pete Carroll was

109
00:07:10,120 --> 00:07:14,440
Speaker 2: the last Patriots head coach before Bill Belichick. The symmetries

110
00:07:14,480 --> 00:07:20,360
Speaker 2: are also what allowed those guys to become who they

111
00:07:20,480 --> 00:07:31,320
Speaker 2: were was bold, unprecedented at the time, decisions regarding their quarterbacks.

112
00:07:32,560 --> 00:07:37,480
Speaker 2: So when Bill Belichick took over the New England Patriots,

113
00:07:38,400 --> 00:07:41,480
Speaker 2: Drew Bloodsoe, former number one overall pick who had taken

114
00:07:41,520 --> 00:07:44,560
Speaker 2: the Patriots to a Super Bowl, was their quarterback. Bill

115
00:07:44,600 --> 00:07:50,200
Speaker 2: Belichick had coached the Cleveland Browns intermittent success, but no

116
00:07:50,360 --> 00:07:55,480
Speaker 2: great run been fired there. Coached the Patriots, they were

117
00:07:55,520 --> 00:08:00,360
Speaker 2: a five win team. Bloodsoe got the biggest content, the

118
00:08:00,360 --> 00:08:04,240
Speaker 2: first one hundred million dollar contract in NFL history, and

119
00:08:04,280 --> 00:08:07,040
Speaker 2: then early in the one season Moe Lewis hit on

120
00:08:07,080 --> 00:08:10,000
Speaker 2: the sideline, collapsed as lung and he had to go

121
00:08:10,040 --> 00:08:14,320
Speaker 2: to Brady and then and then Drew Bludsoe was healthy

122
00:08:15,080 --> 00:08:21,960
Speaker 2: month later, and Bill Belichick said sticking with Brady, and

123
00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:29,000
Speaker 2: that decision then was the single biggest domino in the

124
00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:34,680
Speaker 2: next twenty years of a dynasty. Pete Carroll was a

125
00:08:34,720 --> 00:08:37,360
Speaker 2: head coach of the Seattle Seahawks. He had been a

126
00:08:37,360 --> 00:08:40,760
Speaker 2: head coach in New England, had been fired, had not succeeded,

127
00:08:41,520 --> 00:08:45,160
Speaker 2: got the Seahawks job. They went out and signed Matt

128
00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:50,600
Speaker 2: Flynn to a massive off season contract. They drafted Russell

129
00:08:50,640 --> 00:08:55,439
Speaker 2: Wilson in the third round, and Pete Carroll, staying true

130
00:08:55,480 --> 00:09:00,839
Speaker 2: to his mantra of we compete every day at training camp,

131
00:09:00,920 --> 00:09:05,080
Speaker 2: said third round, rookie has the job. He gives us

132
00:09:05,160 --> 00:09:08,960
Speaker 2: the better option. And that then led to that Seahawks'

133
00:09:09,280 --> 00:09:14,800
Speaker 2: mini dynasty or run. And then what happened to Bill

134
00:09:16,400 --> 00:09:20,400
Speaker 2: The marriage with the quarterback fell apart. He didn't have

135
00:09:20,440 --> 00:09:23,560
Speaker 2: the right answers after and it led to his ouster.

136
00:09:24,200 --> 00:09:27,600
Speaker 2: And what happened with Pete The marriage with the quarterback

137
00:09:27,640 --> 00:09:31,320
Speaker 2: fell apart. He didn't have the right answers and it

138
00:09:31,400 --> 00:09:37,080
Speaker 2: led to his ouster. And I find the symmetry of

139
00:09:37,160 --> 00:09:42,040
Speaker 2: those things very interesting because it is such a.

140
00:09:41,920 --> 00:09:48,560
Speaker 3: Good Are you in any way coaches?

141
00:09:49,679 --> 00:09:52,080
Speaker 2: No, So that's not what I'm saying. I know some

142
00:09:52,120 --> 00:10:00,080
Speaker 2: people will say that what I'm saying is this, but

143
00:10:00,640 --> 00:10:07,720
Speaker 2: allowed Belichick to be Belichick was courage in his convictions.

144
00:10:08,440 --> 00:10:12,200
Speaker 2: I do not care what the outside world believes. I

145
00:10:12,400 --> 00:10:16,520
Speaker 2: think this is the right choice. It might frustrate my bosses,

146
00:10:17,160 --> 00:10:20,840
Speaker 2: it might be unpopular, but I Am going to stay

147
00:10:20,960 --> 00:10:26,720
Speaker 2: true to what I believe is best and plow ahead.

148
00:10:27,679 --> 00:10:32,200
Speaker 2: That was the key moment for he and Carol when

149
00:10:32,320 --> 00:10:35,520
Speaker 2: at that moment in time when Carol went to Wilson,

150
00:10:35,800 --> 00:10:39,120
Speaker 2: when Bill stuck with Tom Brady, not only were they

151
00:10:39,160 --> 00:10:42,040
Speaker 2: not Hall of Fame coaches, not only were they not champions,

152
00:10:42,440 --> 00:10:45,920
Speaker 2: they had not succeeded. They had both been fired at

153
00:10:45,960 --> 00:10:49,840
Speaker 2: their first job. They both had intermittent at best results

154
00:10:49,880 --> 00:10:53,160
Speaker 2: at this job, and they were probably on their last

155
00:10:53,200 --> 00:10:57,480
Speaker 2: opportunities to be head coaches in the NFL. And they said,

156
00:10:57,760 --> 00:11:02,280
Speaker 2: bleep it, I'm doing what not the easy thing, the

157
00:11:02,480 --> 00:11:05,680
Speaker 2: tough thing. Everyone expects me to go with the quarterback

158
00:11:05,760 --> 00:11:08,200
Speaker 2: we signed to the massive deal. No one expects me

159
00:11:08,280 --> 00:11:10,480
Speaker 2: to go with the unproven rookie or first year or

160
00:11:10,480 --> 00:11:13,600
Speaker 2: second year guy, and Brady I believe in it. That's

161
00:11:13,679 --> 00:11:22,720
Speaker 2: what opened the door to having success available what made

162
00:11:23,840 --> 00:11:26,600
Speaker 2: so that is a lesson for everybody. It's a lesson

163
00:11:26,640 --> 00:11:31,800
Speaker 2: for everyone that if you really believe in something, go

164
00:11:31,920 --> 00:11:37,200
Speaker 2: with it, trust your instincts and sink or swim on that.

165
00:11:37,840 --> 00:11:41,520
Speaker 2: Don't fail because you didn't go with what you believed in.

166
00:11:42,280 --> 00:11:45,080
Speaker 2: But the second lesson is this, no matter how great

167
00:11:45,120 --> 00:11:50,479
Speaker 2: you are, man, it takes help. Everything in life is collaborative.

168
00:11:51,080 --> 00:11:55,880
Speaker 2: Everything in life you are going to succeed more if

169
00:11:55,920 --> 00:12:01,559
Speaker 2: you have a great partner, if you have a great

170
00:12:01,840 --> 00:12:05,200
Speaker 2: either number two or one A or whatever it is.

171
00:12:06,679 --> 00:12:09,440
Speaker 2: And the last and that's so the I'm not saying

172
00:12:09,480 --> 00:12:13,480
Speaker 2: Brady made Belichick or Belichick made Brady. I truly believe

173
00:12:13,559 --> 00:12:17,360
Speaker 2: they made each other. That they are the sum is

174
00:12:17,400 --> 00:12:20,800
Speaker 2: greater than the individual parts one hundred percent. And then

175
00:12:20,880 --> 00:12:24,680
Speaker 2: the last lesson for both of these guys is when

176
00:12:24,720 --> 00:12:32,080
Speaker 2: you have that success, don't let ego and both be

177
00:12:32,200 --> 00:12:36,800
Speaker 2: the reason it ends earlier than it's supposed to. And

178
00:12:37,600 --> 00:12:39,920
Speaker 2: I think with Pete, Carroll and Russ it was more

179
00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:44,120
Speaker 2: Russ's Eagles egos than Pete. I think with Tom and

180
00:12:44,240 --> 00:12:47,320
Speaker 2: Bill it was more Bill's ego than Tom. But the

181
00:12:47,360 --> 00:12:50,320
Speaker 2: fact of the matter is, and even though Tom winn

182
00:12:50,360 --> 00:12:55,120
Speaker 2: and won that Super Bowl, it didn't this. It was

183
00:12:55,160 --> 00:13:00,760
Speaker 2: not the ending anybody exactly wanted. And for Bill it

184
00:13:00,880 --> 00:13:04,280
Speaker 2: ended up being the end of his run. For Pete

185
00:13:04,360 --> 00:13:09,640
Speaker 2: it being the end of his run. And so there

186
00:13:09,640 --> 00:13:10,800
Speaker 2: are go.

187
00:13:10,640 --> 00:13:14,600
Speaker 3: Ahead, you're saying that they're done.

188
00:13:15,160 --> 00:13:22,520
Speaker 2: They're done with those teams exactly, Yeah, and so, and

189
00:13:22,559 --> 00:13:24,680
Speaker 2: we'll talk about where Bill could go in a moment,

190
00:13:25,080 --> 00:13:31,079
Speaker 2: but it is those are all real big macro life stuff, right.

191
00:13:31,960 --> 00:13:38,040
Speaker 2: And Belichick's career, if you're a football fan, spans so much.

192
00:13:38,160 --> 00:13:38,400
Speaker 3: Man.

193
00:13:39,800 --> 00:13:42,640
Speaker 2: He figured out as a defensive coordinator how to slow

194
00:13:42,720 --> 00:13:46,000
Speaker 2: down the best offense of an era when he was

195
00:13:46,040 --> 00:13:48,880
Speaker 2: with the Giants and shut down the Bills in that

196
00:13:48,960 --> 00:13:52,160
Speaker 2: Super Bowl the Giants had no business winning. He figured

197
00:13:52,200 --> 00:13:56,720
Speaker 2: out defensively how to slow down the greatest show on turf,

198
00:13:57,400 --> 00:14:02,080
Speaker 2: how to slow down mcveigh's rams, how to slow down

199
00:14:02,440 --> 00:14:07,079
Speaker 2: Andy Reid Mahomes Chiefs. He figured these things out defensively

200
00:14:07,200 --> 00:14:12,520
Speaker 2: unlike anybody we've ever seen. And then offensively, how many

201
00:14:12,559 --> 00:14:17,880
Speaker 2: reinventions did they have? The we're gonna be a run

202
00:14:17,960 --> 00:14:23,200
Speaker 2: oriented quarterback don't make mistakes, lean on the defense team.

203
00:14:23,520 --> 00:14:27,080
Speaker 2: In the early two thousands, we are going to have

204
00:14:27,120 --> 00:14:30,400
Speaker 2: the highest scoring, highest flying offense in the history of

205
00:14:30,440 --> 00:14:33,960
Speaker 2: football with Randy Moss. In the late two thousand oughts,

206
00:14:34,960 --> 00:14:40,040
Speaker 2: we are going to use the numbers against the defense

207
00:14:40,720 --> 00:14:45,200
Speaker 2: by having two dual threat tight ends like no team

208
00:14:45,240 --> 00:14:48,600
Speaker 2: has ever had. In the early twenty tens, with Gronk

209
00:14:48,720 --> 00:14:56,760
Speaker 2: and Hernandez, we are going to make the slot receiver

210
00:14:58,440 --> 00:15:04,160
Speaker 2: a deadly weapon in way nobody has. With Welker Edelman

211
00:15:04,360 --> 00:15:10,960
Speaker 2: a mindola finding new ways, finding different things. When the

212
00:15:11,000 --> 00:15:14,160
Speaker 2: rest of the world is zigging or zagging, we are

213
00:15:14,200 --> 00:15:17,120
Speaker 2: going not necessarily going to zig, but we are going

214
00:15:17,200 --> 00:15:24,080
Speaker 2: to figure out what opportunities their zags allow for. Oh,

215
00:15:24,320 --> 00:15:29,400
Speaker 2: everyone's worried about the pass, so they are putting more small,

216
00:15:29,600 --> 00:15:33,840
Speaker 2: fast people on the field instead of trying to out

217
00:15:33,880 --> 00:15:38,720
Speaker 2: small out fast them. Should we Maybe then we'll be

218
00:15:38,840 --> 00:15:41,880
Speaker 2: the team that has more big people on the field

219
00:15:42,440 --> 00:15:45,360
Speaker 2: and we'll try to beat them up. It's just a

220
00:15:45,600 --> 00:15:55,880
Speaker 2: brilliant career that kind of had a snding because yet

221
00:15:56,200 --> 00:15:59,200
Speaker 2: didn't make it work at the end with your partner.

222
00:15:59,520 --> 00:16:03,080
Speaker 2: And that, by the way, is the story of basically

223
00:16:03,280 --> 00:16:07,040
Speaker 2: every band that's ever existed at a high level. It's

224
00:16:07,120 --> 00:16:12,760
Speaker 2: the story of so many television shows in MySpace where

225
00:16:12,800 --> 00:16:16,360
Speaker 2: it's like, man, you guys had a great thing. What happened? Well,

226
00:16:17,560 --> 00:16:21,480
Speaker 2: who gets the credit, who gets the most money, who

227
00:16:21,480 --> 00:16:22,960
Speaker 2: gets to be on the front of the poster or

228
00:16:23,000 --> 00:16:28,320
Speaker 2: all those things. That's what happens. And no matter how

229
00:16:28,440 --> 00:16:31,840
Speaker 2: great you are, and maybe the greater you are, you

230
00:16:31,840 --> 00:16:34,720
Speaker 2: can fall prey to it. Now, I will say this,

231
00:16:36,360 --> 00:16:44,640
Speaker 2: there is not You cannot write the Belichick story without

232
00:16:44,840 --> 00:16:52,400
Speaker 2: acknowledging that the cheating scandals are a real piece of it.

233
00:16:53,400 --> 00:16:59,440
Speaker 2: They just are, and it's not the biggest piece of it.

234
00:17:00,640 --> 00:17:07,080
Speaker 2: But Belichick being more than slapped on the wrist multiple

235
00:17:07,200 --> 00:17:13,000
Speaker 2: times throughout his career in New England is part of

236
00:17:13,040 --> 00:17:17,320
Speaker 2: his legacy. Is it enough to knock him out of

237
00:17:17,359 --> 00:17:18,960
Speaker 2: the goat conversation? No?

238
00:17:18,960 --> 00:17:23,800
Speaker 3: No, he cheated multiple times. Well I knew about this.

239
00:17:26,200 --> 00:17:32,520
Speaker 2: So spygate was the real one beforehand. Spygate of surreptitiously

240
00:17:32,640 --> 00:17:38,000
Speaker 2: recording your opponent, and that got him twice. That got

241
00:17:38,080 --> 00:17:42,399
Speaker 2: him once early in the run, and then happened again

242
00:17:43,280 --> 00:17:46,320
Speaker 2: late in the run. Recently, when he was taping the

243
00:17:46,359 --> 00:17:49,679
Speaker 2: Bengals reportedly, and they got in trouble for it. The

244
00:17:49,800 --> 00:17:53,360
Speaker 2: flight gate got laid at the feet of Brady. Then

245
00:17:53,400 --> 00:17:57,800
Speaker 2: there was also a bunch of other hm, it doesn't

246
00:17:57,880 --> 00:18:02,720
Speaker 2: feel right, which was the always saying their coach to

247
00:18:02,880 --> 00:18:08,679
Speaker 2: quarterback communication system would go out randomly, but at the

248
00:18:08,880 --> 00:18:11,639
Speaker 2: key moments of football games, when they were playing in

249
00:18:11,720 --> 00:18:15,560
Speaker 2: Gillette and stuff that that. Now that's a different bucket.

250
00:18:15,600 --> 00:18:19,720
Speaker 2: That's more speculation then we can prove it. But it

251
00:18:19,840 --> 00:18:22,840
Speaker 2: was just enough there where you're like, hmmm, so that's

252
00:18:22,880 --> 00:18:25,879
Speaker 2: a piece of it. And if we're gonna be fair

253
00:18:25,960 --> 00:18:29,120
Speaker 2: to a guy, if a guy dies, you're not really

254
00:18:29,119 --> 00:18:31,200
Speaker 2: supposed to talk about this stuff unless the guy was

255
00:18:31,240 --> 00:18:34,600
Speaker 2: just like an evil bad guy. The day after retiring

256
00:18:34,800 --> 00:18:37,720
Speaker 2: or stepping away from a team's different. He's not dead,

257
00:18:37,720 --> 00:18:39,640
Speaker 2: he's gonna go get another job. And we can tell

258
00:18:39,680 --> 00:18:44,359
Speaker 2: the full true on a story of it. And so

259
00:18:44,520 --> 00:18:47,600
Speaker 2: that combined with the fact that at the end the

260
00:18:47,600 --> 00:18:51,280
Speaker 2: modern offense seemed to pass him by and at the

261
00:18:51,480 --> 00:18:55,240
Speaker 2: end he seemed to only want to hire his sons

262
00:18:55,320 --> 00:19:00,719
Speaker 2: or friends, that is a piece of the legacy. And

263
00:19:01,000 --> 00:19:10,840
Speaker 2: if and when someone were to approach his h his success,

264
00:19:12,119 --> 00:19:17,560
Speaker 2: then can that be a goat tiebreaker. Sure, yeah, if

265
00:19:17,600 --> 00:19:24,399
Speaker 2: the if, for instance, Andy Reid wins this year's Super

266
00:19:24,440 --> 00:19:29,480
Speaker 2: Bowl and another one in two years, and then it's like, Okay,

267
00:19:29,960 --> 00:19:34,200
Speaker 2: he's Belichick's first or right now second in all time wins,

268
00:19:34,200 --> 00:19:40,360
Speaker 2: but Read is fourth. Belichick went to nine one six. Andy,

269
00:19:40,480 --> 00:19:43,159
Speaker 2: by the math that I'm doing right there would be

270
00:19:43,600 --> 00:19:48,280
Speaker 2: went to six one four, but did it without ever

271
00:19:48,400 --> 00:19:53,359
Speaker 2: losing draft picks for cheating and had high levels of

272
00:19:53,400 --> 00:19:59,679
Speaker 2: success with non Hall of Fame quarterbacks and then a

273
00:20:00,040 --> 00:20:03,040
Speaker 2: dynasty with a Hall of Fame quarterback. Then that can

274
00:20:03,080 --> 00:20:07,199
Speaker 2: be part of the discussion. But right now he's so

275
00:20:07,520 --> 00:20:12,360
Speaker 2: far far past the field in the coach goat stuff

276
00:20:12,960 --> 00:20:15,920
Speaker 2: that this stuff is not enough to drag him down.

277
00:20:16,320 --> 00:20:19,159
Speaker 2: But it is part of the story, and it is

278
00:20:19,200 --> 00:20:26,960
Speaker 2: a fascinating career. It is a one of a kind career,

279
00:20:28,240 --> 00:20:36,320
Speaker 2: and it all started with him believing in himself. I

280
00:20:36,440 --> 00:20:43,200
Speaker 2: believe this is right, and I am willing to expend

281
00:20:43,280 --> 00:20:46,159
Speaker 2: real capital with my boss, with the fans, with the

282
00:20:46,240 --> 00:20:51,360
Speaker 2: media because I think on the other side it will

283
00:20:51,400 --> 00:20:55,119
Speaker 2: be the right decision and I have massive respect for that.

284
00:20:56,400 --> 00:21:00,560
Speaker 2: And then at the end, ego and stuff gets in

285
00:21:00,600 --> 00:21:03,320
Speaker 2: the way a bit and It's not that I disrespect

286
00:21:03,320 --> 00:21:05,200
Speaker 2: for that, but it is a good lesson for all

287
00:21:05,240 --> 00:21:08,400
Speaker 2: of us that And you know, if you guys think

288
00:21:08,400 --> 00:21:11,080
Speaker 2: I'm talking about my personal or professional life, I of

289
00:21:11,080 --> 00:21:15,280
Speaker 2: course am. I am worried than the next couple of years, Demons,

290
00:21:15,640 --> 00:21:18,199
Speaker 2: The more and more he gets recognized at you know,

291
00:21:18,440 --> 00:21:20,640
Speaker 2: at Equinox and things like that, is going to come

292
00:21:20,680 --> 00:21:23,000
Speaker 2: to me and be like, listen, man, I need a

293
00:21:23,000 --> 00:21:25,480
Speaker 2: bigger title on the podcast and more money or I'm

294
00:21:25,480 --> 00:21:30,520
Speaker 2: breaking this thing up. And so I just there. I mean, yeah,

295
00:21:30,560 --> 00:21:32,560
Speaker 2: So if you're thinking that I am you know what

296
00:21:32,600 --> 00:21:36,720
Speaker 2: I mean, I'm projecting a bit. Yeah, maybe I am?

297
00:21:36,800 --> 00:21:39,680
Speaker 2: All right, So demonse, what are the follow up questions here?

298
00:21:40,440 --> 00:21:43,560
Speaker 3: Yeah? So with everything being said, uh, do you think

299
00:21:43,640 --> 00:21:46,760
Speaker 3: with him, with Belichick and Pete Carroll being the two

300
00:21:46,840 --> 00:21:48,880
Speaker 3: oldest coaches in the NFL, don't you think it's more

301
00:21:49,040 --> 00:21:51,960
Speaker 3: likely that they walk away then come back and continue

302
00:21:51,960 --> 00:21:52,639
Speaker 3: to coach.

303
00:21:54,119 --> 00:22:00,760
Speaker 2: Pete Carroll? Yes, Belichick. No, Belichick wants Shula's record and

304
00:22:01,280 --> 00:22:06,840
Speaker 2: he needs, you know, fifteen wins for the record, and

305
00:22:06,920 --> 00:22:13,160
Speaker 2: so no, I do not think he's walking away, which

306
00:22:13,200 --> 00:22:18,080
Speaker 2: then leads us to where should he go? Right? Right?

307
00:22:18,400 --> 00:22:23,840
Speaker 2: And my answer to that question is, I think wherever

308
00:22:23,880 --> 00:22:27,960
Speaker 2: he's going, the job is not open yet. Some of

309
00:22:27,960 --> 00:22:31,000
Speaker 2: these playoff teams are gonna fire their coach. They just

310
00:22:31,080 --> 00:22:32,440
Speaker 2: are happened.

311
00:22:32,359 --> 00:22:35,159
Speaker 3: Every year McCarthy after Jordan Love goes out there and

312
00:22:35,160 --> 00:22:35,919
Speaker 3: slings it on him.

313
00:22:37,760 --> 00:22:43,240
Speaker 2: So if the Cowboys lose this weekend, yes, that is

314
00:22:43,240 --> 00:22:47,080
Speaker 2: where Belichick should go. McCarthy will be fired for that,

315
00:22:47,840 --> 00:22:51,600
Speaker 2: and that is the perfect spot. We've talked about this

316
00:22:51,680 --> 00:22:54,800
Speaker 2: on a month on the podcast ever since Nora Princiatti

317
00:22:54,840 --> 00:22:57,120
Speaker 2: first brought it up on The Ringer, And people might

318
00:22:57,160 --> 00:23:00,000
Speaker 2: wonder why I keep referencing that. I think it's important

319
00:23:00,400 --> 00:23:04,919
Speaker 2: in our business. If somebody says something that is way

320
00:23:04,960 --> 00:23:08,400
Speaker 2: out of left field and then all of a sudden

321
00:23:08,880 --> 00:23:11,399
Speaker 2: and they're the only one saying it, and then all

322
00:23:11,480 --> 00:23:14,959
Speaker 2: of a sudden it starts to gain momentum wherever it is.

323
00:23:15,520 --> 00:23:18,920
Speaker 2: I think they deserve, if you know, credit for being

324
00:23:18,960 --> 00:23:21,960
Speaker 2: the first person to throw it out there. Nobody was

325
00:23:22,000 --> 00:23:25,719
Speaker 2: talking about that. She mentioned it a month ago, and

326
00:23:25,760 --> 00:23:30,120
Speaker 2: it's nestled inside my brain is like, Oh, that's fascinating.

327
00:23:31,000 --> 00:23:33,480
Speaker 2: You have the talent, you have the quarterback, you have

328
00:23:33,600 --> 00:23:37,560
Speaker 2: the offensive weapons, you have all this other talent on defense.

329
00:23:38,119 --> 00:23:40,960
Speaker 2: You could get that record in two years and you

330
00:23:41,000 --> 00:23:43,960
Speaker 2: could maybe win a Super Bowl and be like, ah,

331
00:23:44,040 --> 00:23:47,120
Speaker 2: could Bill work for Jerry A It wouldn't be long

332
00:23:47,200 --> 00:23:51,960
Speaker 2: term be his mentor. Bill Parcells worked for Jerry and

333
00:23:52,000 --> 00:23:55,520
Speaker 2: so yeah. And by the way, that's another one when

334
00:23:55,520 --> 00:23:58,360
Speaker 2: I'm talking about you collaborate, you come together, it's great.

335
00:23:58,400 --> 00:24:01,240
Speaker 2: Then egos get in the way. Jerry Jones and Jimmy

336
00:24:01,280 --> 00:24:05,879
Speaker 2: Johnson they won two super Bowls, were amazing, it was great,

337
00:24:06,000 --> 00:24:09,879
Speaker 2: and then egos and everything it blows up. I mean,

338
00:24:09,880 --> 00:24:11,919
Speaker 2: it's a story of a lot of a lot of teams,

339
00:24:11,960 --> 00:24:14,560
Speaker 2: a lot of a lot of there's a lot of

340
00:24:14,760 --> 00:24:19,680
Speaker 2: examples of that. I don't think though, that the Cowboys

341
00:24:19,720 --> 00:24:24,560
Speaker 2: are gonna lose in round one. I'm not certain that

342
00:24:24,920 --> 00:24:28,440
Speaker 2: McCarthy would get fired for losing in round two. I'm

343
00:24:28,480 --> 00:24:31,840
Speaker 2: pretty damn confident he wouldn't get fired for losing in

344
00:24:31,920 --> 00:24:36,040
Speaker 2: round three. But that is the job Bill should hold

345
00:24:36,080 --> 00:24:39,120
Speaker 2: out hope for. Do you know what I'm gonna say?

346
00:24:39,160 --> 00:24:40,600
Speaker 2: The other one is a team.

347
00:24:41,480 --> 00:24:43,879
Speaker 3: I know exactly what you're gonna say, and it's completely

348
00:24:45,800 --> 00:24:49,120
Speaker 3: you're gonna You're gonna say, You're gonna yes, Hey, you're

349
00:24:49,119 --> 00:24:52,119
Speaker 3: gonna say Philly in Sirianni.

350
00:24:55,200 --> 00:25:00,399
Speaker 2: I am, and it's not fueled by hate. It is

351
00:25:01,720 --> 00:25:11,840
Speaker 2: the to me totally sober logical analysis of I am

352
00:25:11,840 --> 00:25:14,960
Speaker 2: not saying Sirianni should be fired if they lose to

353
00:25:15,040 --> 00:25:20,920
Speaker 2: Baker in round one. I am saying this, if Bill

354
00:25:20,960 --> 00:25:29,520
Speaker 2: Belichick would take the job, you fight flatly, flatly and

355
00:25:30,440 --> 00:25:33,440
Speaker 2: for Eagle, and I don't even think Egle fans.

356
00:25:33,240 --> 00:25:36,119
Speaker 3: Would you would you say the same? Wait? Wouldn't you

357
00:25:36,160 --> 00:25:41,760
Speaker 3: say the same thing about McCarthy? Hey, even if they

358
00:25:41,800 --> 00:25:45,760
Speaker 3: win in round one, round two, gets fired at what's

359
00:25:45,800 --> 00:25:46,200
Speaker 3: the job?

360
00:25:49,040 --> 00:25:52,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, if McCarthy loses at home in round one or two, yes,

361
00:25:53,520 --> 00:25:55,919
Speaker 2: I don't think you. I think it's a weird look

362
00:25:56,320 --> 00:25:59,360
Speaker 2: to fire him. If he makes the first conference championship

363
00:25:59,359 --> 00:26:01,840
Speaker 2: game the teams made in almost thirty years, you know

364
00:26:01,880 --> 00:26:03,640
Speaker 2: what I mean? Or if they make the super Bowl,

365
00:26:03,680 --> 00:26:07,359
Speaker 2: you can't fire him. But yeah, but the distinction between

366
00:26:07,440 --> 00:26:12,240
Speaker 2: McCarthy and Sirianni or Bellichick, McCarthy, Sirianni and Belichick is this,

367
00:26:12,800 --> 00:26:18,240
Speaker 2: Let's just say Belichick's already out. Let's say Sirianni were

368
00:26:18,280 --> 00:26:24,200
Speaker 2: fired today, McCarthy were fired today. Belichick is a definitively

369
00:26:24,280 --> 00:26:29,560
Speaker 2: getting a job as a head coach somewhere. McCarthy is

370
00:26:29,720 --> 00:26:33,480
Speaker 2: probably getting a job as a head coach three straight

371
00:26:33,520 --> 00:26:37,120
Speaker 2: twelve win seasons. If Nick Sirianni gets fired, what job

372
00:26:37,160 --> 00:26:40,119
Speaker 2: is he being offered? Just tell me it's not a

373
00:26:40,119 --> 00:26:46,960
Speaker 2: head coaching job, I promise. And no, No, it's just

374
00:26:48,119 --> 00:26:52,679
Speaker 2: and so maybe an offensive coordinator. The Panthers don't have

375
00:26:52,720 --> 00:26:56,119
Speaker 2: their new head coach. They don't have one yet. They

376
00:26:56,160 --> 00:26:58,880
Speaker 2: have the interim coach. Am I tripping? What?

377
00:26:59,080 --> 00:27:03,280
Speaker 3: Yeah? I think you're probably You're probably right. The Panthers,

378
00:27:03,280 --> 00:27:05,240
Speaker 3: I'm sure, would like their jobs at Nick Sirianni.

379
00:27:06,240 --> 00:27:09,320
Speaker 2: No, they would not. Okay, he's not gonna if you

380
00:27:09,359 --> 00:27:11,480
Speaker 2: were fired, he's not gonna his next jobs. I'm gonna

381
00:27:11,480 --> 00:27:13,280
Speaker 2: be a head coach. I'm just telling you.

382
00:27:14,840 --> 00:27:14,959
Speaker 3: So.

383
00:27:15,160 --> 00:27:18,119
Speaker 2: If I were Belichick, I would wait and see what

384
00:27:18,240 --> 00:27:23,000
Speaker 2: happens in those spots. Uh the other playoff? Now, I'll

385
00:27:23,040 --> 00:27:27,320
Speaker 2: give you one more that. Bruce Ard mentioned that if

386
00:27:27,320 --> 00:27:33,520
Speaker 2: I were Belichick, I would be interested in what if

387
00:27:34,080 --> 00:27:37,840
Speaker 2: the Steelers beat Buffalo? Are we one hundred percent certain

388
00:27:37,880 --> 00:27:43,160
Speaker 2: Sean McDermott's safe one if Buffalo loses his ten point

389
00:27:43,160 --> 00:27:47,240
Speaker 2: favorite at home to Mason Rudolph after having to fight

390
00:27:47,240 --> 00:27:50,000
Speaker 2: and claude to get into the playoffs. I'm not so

391
00:27:50,080 --> 00:27:52,280
Speaker 2: if this is like if I'm Belichick, I am waiting

392
00:27:52,320 --> 00:27:54,960
Speaker 2: and seeing because some of these jobs are going to

393
00:27:55,000 --> 00:28:00,040
Speaker 2: be open. They just are, and so I would I

394
00:28:00,080 --> 00:28:03,560
Speaker 2: would be very I would not go to Atlanta or Washington.

395
00:28:04,040 --> 00:28:07,240
Speaker 2: I just wouldn't. Now, I'd love to go to Chicago,

396
00:28:07,400 --> 00:28:12,000
Speaker 2: but Chicago's keeping eber Flus for reasons I don't understand.

397
00:28:12,520 --> 00:28:15,280
Speaker 2: All right, So go ahead, you.

398
00:28:17,080 --> 00:28:18,840
Speaker 3: Do you think the Pats are gonna get anything in

399
00:28:18,880 --> 00:28:22,879
Speaker 3: return for Belichick? Like, how does that eat work? Okay?

400
00:28:22,960 --> 00:28:24,800
Speaker 2: No, So if they were to try to trade him,

401
00:28:24,840 --> 00:28:27,200
Speaker 2: they could, but that's not what's happening here. So they

402
00:28:27,200 --> 00:28:30,720
Speaker 2: are gonna have to start over. And everybody thinks they're

403
00:28:30,720 --> 00:28:34,240
Speaker 2: gonna get Verbel. If I'm Verbel, I don't want that job.

404
00:28:35,520 --> 00:28:37,760
Speaker 2: I understand there's history there. He won the Super Bowls there.

405
00:28:37,760 --> 00:28:41,320
Speaker 2: I get all that. That team stinks, that team stinks

406
00:28:41,680 --> 00:28:46,280
Speaker 2: is in it. And here's the thing about looking at divisions.

407
00:28:46,960 --> 00:28:50,280
Speaker 2: If I'm looking for a head coaching job, I don't

408
00:28:50,480 --> 00:28:54,280
Speaker 2: need to be in a division like the NFC South,

409
00:28:54,560 --> 00:28:59,520
Speaker 2: where there's not any great team but I don't want

410
00:28:59,520 --> 00:29:04,720
Speaker 2: to be in a division where there's clearly two. So

411
00:29:04,920 --> 00:29:08,240
Speaker 2: like the AFC West is not those are not. The

412
00:29:08,320 --> 00:29:10,760
Speaker 2: Chargers job is not a bad job. People are like, ah,

413
00:29:10,800 --> 00:29:14,760
Speaker 2: you gotta compete with Mahomes. Yeah, but you that's the

414
00:29:14,800 --> 00:29:17,760
Speaker 2: only one in the division you gotta compete with. So

415
00:29:18,040 --> 00:29:20,680
Speaker 2: I would be more nervous about, like going to the

416
00:29:20,840 --> 00:29:24,880
Speaker 2: NFC West right is take Seattle's job, Like, God, dog it,

417
00:29:25,240 --> 00:29:29,719
Speaker 2: I gotta compete with Shanahan and McVeigh. I gotta compete

418
00:29:29,720 --> 00:29:33,960
Speaker 2: with the Niners and AFC East. You feel like, gosh darning,

419
00:29:34,040 --> 00:29:37,600
Speaker 2: I gotta compete with the Bills and the Dolphins. That's

420
00:29:37,640 --> 00:29:40,120
Speaker 2: a tough you know, for whoever comes into New England

421
00:29:40,280 --> 00:29:42,440
Speaker 2: the AFC North, you feel like you gotta compete with

422
00:29:42,600 --> 00:29:47,680
Speaker 2: four teams and so uh, if you're brable, I wouldn't

423
00:29:47,680 --> 00:29:51,760
Speaker 2: want that gig. And here is the other interesting thing.

424
00:29:53,320 --> 00:29:56,920
Speaker 2: Did Robert Kraft just make the same mistake with head

425
00:29:56,960 --> 00:30:03,000
Speaker 2: coach that Bill Belichick made withquarterback? I moved on from

426
00:30:03,040 --> 00:30:06,080
Speaker 2: the goat without having a clear plan on how I'm

427
00:30:06,120 --> 00:30:09,840
Speaker 2: replacing it. It's on the board. Let's see if they

428
00:30:09,880 --> 00:30:12,640
Speaker 2: get fable. And I know Drod Mao's there. We'll see

429
00:30:12,680 --> 00:30:14,720
Speaker 2: if that were to work, he'd be a rookie head coach.

430
00:30:15,160 --> 00:30:24,720
Speaker 2: I do know this that the Patriots are now the

431
00:30:24,840 --> 00:30:30,840
Speaker 2: Tennessee Titans in the sports talk world. The Patriots are

432
00:30:30,920 --> 00:30:41,719
Speaker 2: now the let me find another, the Atlanta Falcons. They're

433
00:30:41,760 --> 00:30:46,880
Speaker 2: just not on the list of relevant teams there. They

434
00:30:46,920 --> 00:30:50,440
Speaker 2: are a team that used to be great but now

435
00:30:50,520 --> 00:30:54,720
Speaker 2: has no star power and doesn't have the coach, which

436
00:30:54,800 --> 00:30:58,080
Speaker 2: was the reason we cared about them, Like they are

437
00:30:58,600 --> 00:31:03,520
Speaker 2: out in the willed feness of just the others. And

438
00:31:03,600 --> 00:31:07,600
Speaker 2: I don't know again, like that shouldn't impact craft or

439
00:31:07,640 --> 00:31:11,400
Speaker 2: any of that, But I'm talking about from a list

440
00:31:11,480 --> 00:31:15,200
Speaker 2: of teams that it's like, oh man, they're talked about

441
00:31:15,200 --> 00:31:19,200
Speaker 2: on shows like mine all the time. The Patriots are

442
00:31:19,280 --> 00:31:23,840
Speaker 2: now at the bottom of the list. They are as

443
00:31:25,040 --> 00:31:28,560
Speaker 2: irrelevant of a team as there is now. We'll see

444
00:31:28,560 --> 00:31:30,320
Speaker 2: if they draft the right quarterbacks, see if they get

445
00:31:30,360 --> 00:31:32,720
Speaker 2: the right coach, But for the time being, that's where

446
00:31:32,720 --> 00:31:38,560
Speaker 2: they're at. Okay, So that's where you know. I think

447
00:31:38,600 --> 00:31:42,000
Speaker 2: that was really good. Thirty minutes on Belichick on life

448
00:31:42,480 --> 00:31:45,080
Speaker 2: on Demonsday's ego one day being the downfall of the

449
00:31:45,120 --> 00:31:49,760
Speaker 2: What's Right podcast. Uh, we have a gambling show. Thank you.

450
00:31:49,800 --> 00:31:52,360
Speaker 2: I appreciate that, pal. We have a gambling show to do,

451
00:31:53,480 --> 00:31:59,840
Speaker 2: and it is now time to revisit our pre se

452
00:32:00,200 --> 00:32:06,720
Speaker 2: and futures. The knife has been twisted fully. I'll explain

453
00:32:06,800 --> 00:32:14,520
Speaker 2: what I mean next What's Right? Welcome back to What's

454
00:32:14,600 --> 00:32:16,680
Speaker 2: Right in the Great Episode two O seven. This episode

Speaker 2: is brought to you by US Bank. Winter can be

456
00:32:19,920 --> 00:32:22,840
Speaker 2: a drag. Thankfully, we've got sports that gus through the

457
00:32:22,880 --> 00:32:24,400
Speaker 2: early part of the year and if you ask me,

458
00:32:24,840 --> 00:32:29,040
Speaker 2: nothing goes together quite like food and sports. Obviously, especially

459
00:32:29,080 --> 00:32:32,160
Speaker 2: this time of year. Got NFL Playoffs, Pro hoops, and

460
00:32:32,400 --> 00:32:34,600

482
00:33:41,160 --> 00:33:44,400
Speaker 2: a couple final Belichick points that I forgot to bring up.

483
00:33:45,320 --> 00:33:47,440
Speaker 2: Demon's one of your follow ups. You were gonna ask,

484
00:33:47,560 --> 00:33:50,680
Speaker 2: was am I worried about Andy Reid? Then you know

485
00:33:50,720 --> 00:33:54,920
Speaker 2: the older coaches are retiring, so Andy Reid I do

486
00:33:55,000 --> 00:33:59,440
Speaker 2: not believe is retiring anytime soon. Florio keeps throwing out

487
00:33:59,480 --> 00:34:04,800
Speaker 2: there Reid retire after this season. That's another place that

488
00:34:04,880 --> 00:34:09,160
Speaker 2: if I were Bill, I'd want to wait and see, like, Okay,

489
00:34:09,239 --> 00:34:11,840
Speaker 2: maybe it's not. I don't see it at all, but

490
00:34:11,880 --> 00:34:14,520
Speaker 2: I'm saying it's out there. I don't see it at all.

491
00:34:14,680 --> 00:34:17,200
Speaker 2: But yeah, if you're Belichick and you're like, yeah, i'll

492
00:34:17,239 --> 00:34:21,120
Speaker 2: go coach Patrick Mahomes offense, pretty well, I'll go the

493
00:34:21,680 --> 00:34:24,960
Speaker 2: And then here's the other thing. Is Gabe here, our

494
00:34:25,080 --> 00:34:30,200
Speaker 2: resident Jets fan Patriot hater who today he's so happy about.

495
00:34:30,360 --> 00:34:33,000
Speaker 2: And I'm not trying to bring Gabe down, but I

496
00:34:33,080 --> 00:34:38,200
Speaker 2: do want some context here. So Bill Belichick in the

497
00:34:38,280 --> 00:34:42,600
Speaker 2: last three years went, I want to make sure I

498
00:34:42,680 --> 00:34:45,640
Speaker 2: have this math, right, Yeah, I do. He went twenty

499
00:34:45,719 --> 00:34:51,279
Speaker 2: two and twenty nine, Is that right? Yeah, twenty two

500
00:34:51,320 --> 00:34:57,320
Speaker 2: and twenty nine, with one playoff appearance, and the Patriots said, Nope,

501
00:34:57,719 --> 00:35:00,920
Speaker 2: don't care that you've won six Super Bowls. That's not

502
00:35:01,040 --> 00:35:05,760
Speaker 2: good enough. You're out here. Mike Vrabel, who just got fired.

503
00:35:06,280 --> 00:35:11,120
Speaker 2: In the last three years, Mike Vrabel went nineteen twenty five,

504
00:35:11,600 --> 00:35:16,239
Speaker 2: went twenty five and twenty six with one playoff appearance,

505
00:35:17,200 --> 00:35:21,040
Speaker 2: and the Tennessee Titans said, don't care, you've been to

506
00:35:21,080 --> 00:35:24,120
Speaker 2: a conference championship game. Don't care we traded away our

507
00:35:24,160 --> 00:35:28,879
Speaker 2: best player. You're out here, Pete Carroll. The last three

508
00:35:28,960 --> 00:35:34,040
Speaker 2: years went also twenty five and twenty six with one

509
00:35:34,120 --> 00:35:39,759
Speaker 2: playoff appearance, and the Seattle Seahawks said, don't care, you

510
00:35:39,800 --> 00:35:42,279
Speaker 2: want a super Bowl here went to another one. You're

511
00:35:42,320 --> 00:35:48,080
Speaker 2: out here, big. Bob Salah over the last three years

512
00:35:48,400 --> 00:35:52,600
Speaker 2: has gone eighteen and thirty three, has won a two

513
00:35:52,800 --> 00:35:56,080
Speaker 2: total divisional games, and the New York Jets are like,

514
00:35:56,440 --> 00:36:01,560
Speaker 2: come on back, Bobby, you got unfinished business here. So

515
00:36:01,640 --> 00:36:05,320
Speaker 2: all these Jets fans being like, oh, we put bella

516
00:36:05,440 --> 00:36:09,600
Speaker 2: check out. His final game was losing us. Every other

517
00:36:09,760 --> 00:36:15,399
Speaker 2: team that has had massively more success with massively more

518
00:36:15,480 --> 00:36:20,719
Speaker 2: established coaches are like, you're out. Meanwhile, Bobby Salah can

519
00:36:20,840 --> 00:36:25,320
Speaker 2: sit there and just look angry on the sideline and confused,

520
00:36:26,000 --> 00:36:28,120
Speaker 2: and the Jets are like, you know what, he hasn't

521
00:36:28,120 --> 00:36:32,680
Speaker 2: had enough time. So andie, I'm not here. Listen, I'm

522
00:36:32,680 --> 00:36:36,160
Speaker 2: not here for Jet fans victory laps today. I'm just

523
00:36:36,280 --> 00:36:40,319
Speaker 2: not all right. So sorry, Gabe had to do it too.

524
00:36:40,400 --> 00:36:42,759
Speaker 2: You didn't really have to, but wanted to, all right,

525
00:36:43,840 --> 00:36:47,440
Speaker 2: So before the year, we do a gambling show and

526
00:36:47,480 --> 00:36:50,160
Speaker 2: we'll get to my actual bets that I make in

527
00:36:50,280 --> 00:36:53,200
Speaker 2: real life. The Gabe just come in. Does Gabe want

528
00:36:53,280 --> 00:36:54,000
Speaker 2: your microphone?

529
00:36:54,280 --> 00:36:58,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, gab. Gabe gave me the finger, but I think

530
00:36:58,120 --> 00:36:59,680
Speaker 3: he was trying to give it to me to then

531
00:36:59,719 --> 00:37:06,920
Speaker 3: give you. Oh, he's in here taking I don't okay, Now,

532
00:37:07,000 --> 00:37:09,319
Speaker 3: I don't want to derail the podcast. I want you

533
00:37:09,360 --> 00:37:12,520
Speaker 3: to talk about gambling. I just give us thirty seconds

534
00:37:12,560 --> 00:37:14,160
Speaker 3: of enjoyment. That's all we want.

535
00:37:15,200 --> 00:37:18,560
Speaker 2: I gave you thirty minutes, and then I had to

536
00:37:18,600 --> 00:37:21,680
Speaker 2: bring you back down to earth. Jets fans, I'm just

537
00:37:21,760 --> 00:37:28,600
Speaker 2: letting you know. I'm sorry, all right. So before the year,

538
00:37:29,360 --> 00:37:33,319
Speaker 2: I look at all the possible futures and I give

539
00:37:33,400 --> 00:37:37,640
Speaker 2: my lean on them, and then I make my actual

540
00:37:37,640 --> 00:37:39,520
Speaker 2: bets on the ones I had the most conviction on,

541
00:37:42,120 --> 00:37:44,759
Speaker 2: and I didn't do great on the future's bets I made.

542
00:37:44,800 --> 00:37:47,320
Speaker 2: We'll get to those in a moment. But what makes

543
00:37:47,360 --> 00:37:52,759
Speaker 2: it more painful is how perfectly I did on the

544
00:37:52,800 --> 00:37:56,879
Speaker 2: bets I didn't make. And I have the document, so

545
00:37:57,000 --> 00:38:01,279
Speaker 2: I am going to go through it. Cardinals total four

546
00:38:01,280 --> 00:38:05,719
Speaker 2: and a half. This bet is an under, but it

547
00:38:05,840 --> 00:38:10,760
Speaker 2: feels too square to make underhit Bill's ten and a half.

548
00:38:11,200 --> 00:38:16,080
Speaker 2: What I wrote this is the perfect line. Well, they

549
00:38:16,120 --> 00:38:18,799
Speaker 2: had ten wins going into the final game of the year,

550
00:38:19,160 --> 00:38:21,319
Speaker 2: and they had a second half comeback to win it,

551
00:38:21,360 --> 00:38:25,200
Speaker 2: so it was the perfect line. Broncos under eight and

552
00:38:25,239 --> 00:38:29,280
Speaker 2: a half feels like an under, but maybe there's Sean

553
00:38:29,360 --> 00:38:33,400
Speaker 2: Payton magic. There was Sean Payton magic, and it wasn't under.

554
00:38:34,120 --> 00:38:37,399
Speaker 2: Lions nine and a half. I said, this line's exactly right,

555
00:38:37,719 --> 00:38:39,680
Speaker 2: so I was off on that, but I didn't bet it.

556
00:38:40,080 --> 00:38:42,440
Speaker 2: Texan six and a half. This is what I wrote.

557
00:38:42,880 --> 00:38:47,520
Speaker 2: I like the under, but maybe Demico Ryans does something great,

558
00:38:47,880 --> 00:38:51,000
Speaker 2: so I didn't bet it. My head was correct. Raiders

559
00:38:51,800 --> 00:38:54,960
Speaker 2: six and a half. This is what I wrote. The

560
00:38:55,120 --> 00:38:59,360
Speaker 2: over is the bet, but we won't ever bet on

561
00:38:59,560 --> 00:39:04,160
Speaker 2: Josh McDaniels and Jimmy G. The over hit because they

562
00:39:04,239 --> 00:39:07,759
Speaker 2: fired McDaniels and bench Jimmy G. So I got it

563
00:39:07,880 --> 00:39:14,040
Speaker 2: exactly right and so all right. Next I wrote Chargers

564
00:39:14,120 --> 00:39:16,000
Speaker 2: nine and a half, perfect line. I was wrong on that.

565
00:39:16,040 --> 00:39:20,080
Speaker 2: It wasn't perfect line. Vikings eight and a half. I wrote,

566
00:39:20,440 --> 00:39:25,280
Speaker 2: this is the exact right number. Saints nine and a half.

567
00:39:25,719 --> 00:39:28,840
Speaker 2: Love the under, but a little too much juice on it.

568
00:39:28,880 --> 00:39:33,920
Speaker 2: At minus one forty they were finished with nine wins. Okay.

569
00:39:34,800 --> 00:39:39,400
Speaker 2: I then called the Bucks, Titans, and Commanders all stay aways.

570
00:39:40,520 --> 00:39:44,879
Speaker 2: Then there was this category, and this is the one

571
00:39:44,960 --> 00:39:53,000
Speaker 2: that is real pain, true true pain. The category was

572
00:39:54,200 --> 00:39:58,840
Speaker 2: would bet but there's a better way to make this bet.

573
00:40:00,400 --> 00:40:07,560
Speaker 2: And this is where I outsmarted myself. Okay, Steelers eight

574
00:40:07,600 --> 00:40:12,640
Speaker 2: and a half over. I wrote, love it, but there's

575
00:40:12,680 --> 00:40:15,200
Speaker 2: a better bet. We'll get to what that was in

576
00:40:15,280 --> 00:40:21,120
Speaker 2: a moment. Dolphins nine and a half over, love it,

577
00:40:21,520 --> 00:40:25,080
Speaker 2: but there's a better bet. The Steelers won ten, the

578
00:40:25,160 --> 00:40:30,960
Speaker 2: Dolphins won eleven, Packers seven and a half over. Love it,

579
00:40:31,400 --> 00:40:34,160
Speaker 2: but there's a better way to make this bet. The

580
00:40:34,200 --> 00:40:40,120
Speaker 2: Packers won nine games or ten, Falcons oh, eight and

581
00:40:40,160 --> 00:40:42,560
Speaker 2: a half over, there's a better bet here that one

582
00:40:42,600 --> 00:40:44,719
Speaker 2: they missed on the final day of the season, and

583
00:40:44,920 --> 00:40:49,200
Speaker 2: Jets nine and a half under. We love this bet.

584
00:40:49,280 --> 00:40:52,960
Speaker 2: We love this bet, but there's a better bet. Is

585
00:40:53,000 --> 00:40:58,200
Speaker 2: what I wrote on these. Okay, So that was five

586
00:40:58,320 --> 00:41:01,120
Speaker 2: bets that I went four and one on that I

587
00:41:01,200 --> 00:41:05,120
Speaker 2: didn't make because I thought I had better versions of them,

588
00:41:05,520 --> 00:41:09,719
Speaker 2: and then spoiler alert on the better versions of them.

589
00:41:09,920 --> 00:41:13,160
Speaker 2: Instead of going four and one, I went one and four,

590
00:41:14,160 --> 00:41:20,760
Speaker 2: just the bleeping worst. Now two our actual wagers, Demonse.

591
00:41:20,920 --> 00:41:23,600
Speaker 3: And we'll do a lot of the red.

592
00:41:24,000 --> 00:41:25,279
Speaker 2: And we'll do the math here.

593
00:41:25,360 --> 00:41:29,319
Speaker 3: Go ahead, all right, so we got wind totals where

594
00:41:29,320 --> 00:41:30,520
Speaker 3: we start off win totals.

595
00:41:31,719 --> 00:41:36,480
Speaker 2: You had Bears me congrats on being the Bob solav picks.

596
00:41:36,880 --> 00:41:39,640
Speaker 2: All right, Gabe, that's enough out of you. But go ahead.

597
00:41:40,160 --> 00:41:42,840
Speaker 3: You had Bears under seven and a half at plus

598
00:41:42,880 --> 00:41:46,879
Speaker 3: one hundred. That one cashed. That go through the whole.

599
00:41:47,360 --> 00:41:49,839
Speaker 2: I'm gonna do the math here, No, go one by one.

600
00:41:51,360 --> 00:41:51,800
Speaker 2: Go ahead.

601
00:41:52,360 --> 00:41:56,200
Speaker 3: You got Chicago they went seven and ten. Oh no, sorry,

602
00:41:56,320 --> 00:41:58,359
Speaker 3: you got the Cowboys over nine and a half at

603
00:41:58,400 --> 00:41:59,560
Speaker 3: minus one sixty two.

604
00:42:00,200 --> 00:42:02,719
Speaker 2: That also, no, that's not it though, look look at

605
00:42:02,719 --> 00:42:06,080
Speaker 2: the screen. Though it was the Dallas over I changed that,

606
00:42:06,239 --> 00:42:10,440
Speaker 2: remember to Dallas over ten and a half at the

607
00:42:10,480 --> 00:42:13,359
Speaker 2: which was the better number, and I won that one.

608
00:42:13,719 --> 00:42:19,520
Speaker 2: So now okay, we are plus all right, okay, god

609
00:42:19,560 --> 00:42:21,480
Speaker 2: dog go ahead. Yeah.

610
00:42:21,800 --> 00:42:26,040
Speaker 3: Now, Jaggs over ten and a half plus one forty five.

611
00:42:26,160 --> 00:42:31,680
Speaker 2: So that one, that one I actually feel a little

612
00:42:31,719 --> 00:42:34,960
Speaker 2: bit better on because the Jags, what I wrote in

613
00:42:35,000 --> 00:42:37,239
Speaker 2: the doc was Jags over nine and a half at

614
00:42:37,239 --> 00:42:40,200
Speaker 2: minus one forty four. Let's get a better number and

615
00:42:40,239 --> 00:42:42,239
Speaker 2: go Jags over ten and a half at plus one

616
00:42:42,280 --> 00:42:45,000
Speaker 2: forty five, they were eight and three. Trevor got hurt

617
00:42:45,239 --> 00:42:47,839
Speaker 2: and it derailed me. But so I lost money there.

618
00:42:48,040 --> 00:42:48,399
Speaker 2: All right?

619
00:42:48,480 --> 00:42:52,760
Speaker 3: Next, Kansas City over eleven and a half. I would

620
00:42:52,760 --> 00:42:54,839
Speaker 3: have thought that would have been good, I.

621
00:42:54,800 --> 00:42:57,680
Speaker 2: Said, I wrote locked. Every year they finished eleven and six,

622
00:42:57,760 --> 00:43:00,680
Speaker 2: missed it by a half game. Yeah, so go all right.

623
00:43:00,800 --> 00:43:05,560
Speaker 3: Next, you got Patriots over seven and a half at

624
00:43:05,560 --> 00:43:07,000
Speaker 3: plus one sixteen yep.

625
00:43:07,960 --> 00:43:10,160
Speaker 2: So I don't know why what I was thinking there,

626
00:43:10,200 --> 00:43:11,840
Speaker 2: And I mean I do know what I was thinking,

627
00:43:11,880 --> 00:43:14,799
Speaker 2: which was last year they won seven and they had

628
00:43:14,800 --> 00:43:17,200
Speaker 2: the worst quarterback play in the league. Why would they

629
00:43:17,239 --> 00:43:19,160
Speaker 2: not win more? That was a terrible bet. But what

630
00:43:19,160 --> 00:43:20,520
Speaker 2: are you gonna do? Next?

631
00:43:21,239 --> 00:43:23,880
Speaker 3: You got Eagles under eleven and a half at minus

632
00:43:23,920 --> 00:43:25,919
Speaker 3: one twenty eight. You said we love.

633
00:43:25,960 --> 00:43:29,520
Speaker 2: Winter winter chicken dinner. Teams started ten and one and

634
00:43:29,600 --> 00:43:31,880
Speaker 2: somehow hit the winner. Give me that one I deserve.

635
00:43:31,960 --> 00:43:34,400
Speaker 2: That's snack insane, by the way.

636
00:43:34,440 --> 00:43:38,040
Speaker 3: But forty nine ers, forty nine ers under ten and

637
00:43:38,080 --> 00:43:40,839
Speaker 3: a half at plus one thirty two, you just said

638
00:43:40,840 --> 00:43:44,359
Speaker 3: we're fadie nine ers because they have rock party yep.

639
00:43:44,400 --> 00:43:46,239
Speaker 2: And they ended up winning twelve games, So that one

640
00:43:46,280 --> 00:43:47,479
Speaker 2: didn't work out, well, go.

641
00:43:47,400 --> 00:43:51,719
Speaker 3: Ahead, you got Seahawks over eight and a half at

642
00:43:51,760 --> 00:43:52,919
Speaker 3: minus one forty two.

643
00:43:54,239 --> 00:43:57,720
Speaker 2: Okay. So look, I just did all the math based

644
00:43:57,760 --> 00:44:00,360
Speaker 2: on what I said before the year was I was

645
00:44:00,400 --> 00:44:03,640
Speaker 2: putting a thousand bucks all on each of these. So

646
00:44:03,719 --> 00:44:06,520
Speaker 2: the plus money ones, you bet a thousand to win

647
00:44:06,600 --> 00:44:09,440
Speaker 2: whatever the plus money is, and the minus money ones,

648
00:44:09,880 --> 00:44:11,919
Speaker 2: like if it's minus one twenty eight, I bet twelve

649
00:44:12,000 --> 00:44:14,800
Speaker 2: eighty to one one thousand, so on the win totals

650
00:44:15,160 --> 00:44:19,440
Speaker 2: over unders, believe it or not. Thanks to the sharp

651
00:44:19,640 --> 00:44:23,040
Speaker 2: you know, plus minus stuff, I won seven hundred and

652
00:44:23,080 --> 00:44:29,279
Speaker 2: ten bucks, okay, which then had I just gone with

653
00:44:29,920 --> 00:44:33,719
Speaker 2: my good bet would bet situation there, I would have

654
00:44:33,760 --> 00:44:38,600
Speaker 2: then had one two three four plus four thousand minus

655
00:44:38,640 --> 00:44:39,799
Speaker 2: thirteen twenty.

656
00:44:40,600 --> 00:44:43,040
Speaker 3: Or had you believed in Brock, I'd be up. I'd

657
00:44:43,080 --> 00:44:43,600
Speaker 3: be up.

658
00:44:43,520 --> 00:44:47,080
Speaker 2: Thirty shut up, shut up, I'd be up thirty four

659
00:44:47,160 --> 00:44:52,000
Speaker 2: hundred had I just done the wood bet. Instead, I

660
00:44:52,239 --> 00:44:58,160
Speaker 2: did these truly disastrous division winner bets. And let's go

661
00:44:58,239 --> 00:45:03,319
Speaker 2: through them, because they they absolutely obliterated the chest.

662
00:45:03,400 --> 00:45:07,320
Speaker 3: You know, they just obliterated the chat saying you also

663
00:45:07,600 --> 00:45:10,000
Speaker 3: you also have the you probably also have the winning

664
00:45:10,040 --> 00:45:12,600
Speaker 3: lottery ticket number, but you just haven't placed it yet.

665
00:45:14,080 --> 00:45:19,279
Speaker 2: I did check the archives. I did that. This is

666
00:45:19,440 --> 00:45:25,919
Speaker 2: all on video. Go back and check the preseason gambling show.

667
00:45:26,160 --> 00:45:28,360
Speaker 2: I said all this stuff, and now we're about to

668
00:45:28,360 --> 00:45:31,120
Speaker 2: see a ton of red. Just give me the division

669
00:45:31,120 --> 00:45:31,680
Speaker 2: winner bets.

670
00:45:31,840 --> 00:45:35,000
Speaker 3: So division winner bets, you got Miami.

671
00:45:35,320 --> 00:45:37,640
Speaker 2: Let me, let me, let me, let me take over

672
00:45:37,680 --> 00:45:42,200
Speaker 2: here for a moment. These are all losers, okay, Miami

673
00:45:42,280 --> 00:45:47,920
Speaker 2: plus two ninety. At one point they were minus six hundred,

674
00:45:49,000 --> 00:45:54,600
Speaker 2: and then they totally collapsed. Green Bay plus three point fifty.

675
00:45:55,520 --> 00:45:57,120
Speaker 2: I don't think that was a terrible bet. I think

676
00:45:57,120 --> 00:45:59,279
Speaker 2: it was decent value. They finished second lines better than

677
00:45:59,320 --> 00:46:03,520
Speaker 2: I thought they were gonna. Pittsburgh plus four seventy is

678
00:46:03,560 --> 00:46:08,040
Speaker 2: a bad bet. Green Bearer Baltimore's better. I thought Seattle

679
00:46:08,040 --> 00:46:14,000
Speaker 2: plus thirty that was a bad bet. Atlanta plus two ten,

680
00:46:15,520 --> 00:46:17,080
Speaker 2: I mean they were alive on the final day of

681
00:46:17,080 --> 00:46:19,800
Speaker 2: the regular season. They could win the division on the

682
00:46:19,840 --> 00:46:22,080
Speaker 2: final day of the regular season. That wasn't a terrible bet,

683
00:46:22,120 --> 00:46:25,720
Speaker 2: but it didn't work. And then the one that really

684
00:46:26,160 --> 00:46:31,240
Speaker 2: really brutalized me, the Jags in Kansas City at plus

685
00:46:31,280 --> 00:46:34,000
Speaker 2: one fifty. By the way, Miami was plus two ninety,

686
00:46:34,040 --> 00:46:37,320
Speaker 2: green Bay was plus three fifty. Pittsburgh was plus four seventy.

687
00:46:37,640 --> 00:46:39,759
Speaker 2: So at I just won the Miami bet, which I

688
00:46:39,800 --> 00:46:42,319
Speaker 2: should have. It would have taken care of three of

689
00:46:42,320 --> 00:46:45,400
Speaker 2: these other ones. Seattle was plus two thirty, Atlanta was

690
00:46:45,400 --> 00:46:49,120
Speaker 2: plus two ten, and then Jags Kansas City. I didn't

691
00:46:49,120 --> 00:46:52,319
Speaker 2: need the Jags to not full blown collapse, and that was,

692
00:46:52,360 --> 00:46:55,680
Speaker 2: if you remember, a two unit bet at plus one

693
00:46:55,840 --> 00:46:59,279
Speaker 2: fifty six. And then Pittsburgh Miami Green Bay was a

694
00:46:59,360 --> 00:47:04,000
Speaker 2: quarter unit bet at ninety nine to one. So that's one, two, three, four,

695
00:47:04,200 --> 00:47:09,600
Speaker 2: five six seven for Jags. Case Jesus seventy two fifty

696
00:47:09,640 --> 00:47:13,400
Speaker 2: on Division winter bets. Sweet Christ, all right.

697
00:47:13,280 --> 00:47:16,960
Speaker 3: You've got after Jas bets in here in totality and

698
00:47:17,040 --> 00:47:17,919
Speaker 3: all read.

699
00:47:19,200 --> 00:47:23,560
Speaker 2: I know the Jags cost me all of it, all

700
00:47:23,600 --> 00:47:28,600
Speaker 2: of it. There's I'll do the math in a minute,

701
00:47:28,680 --> 00:47:31,719
Speaker 2: but I'm gonna prove it to you. The Jags losing

702
00:47:32,200 --> 00:47:36,040
Speaker 2: that final game of the year, how much it cost

703
00:47:36,120 --> 00:47:39,640
Speaker 2: me is what will I'll show you. But right now, now,

704
00:47:39,760 --> 00:47:43,320
Speaker 2: after the Division winter bets, I'm stuck sixty five hundred

705
00:47:43,320 --> 00:47:47,520
Speaker 2: and forty dollars on my preseason bets. And I make

706
00:47:47,640 --> 00:47:50,320
Speaker 2: these bets by the way this is there's real money

707
00:47:50,320 --> 00:47:53,840
Speaker 2: out the door. Now to the make miss playoffs bets.

708
00:47:55,160 --> 00:47:58,719
Speaker 3: All right, you got Kansas City, Dallas, and Jacksonville to

709
00:47:58,760 --> 00:48:00,600
Speaker 3: all make it at plus one sixty.

710
00:48:01,480 --> 00:48:05,680
Speaker 2: Jacksonville will and that was another two unit bet. That

711
00:48:05,800 --> 00:48:10,880
Speaker 2: was another two unit bet. Okay. And again Kansas City

712
00:48:11,239 --> 00:48:14,680
Speaker 2: locked with weeks to goo, Dallas locked with weeks ago.

713
00:48:15,200 --> 00:48:18,520
Speaker 2: Jacksonville was eight and three and fell apart. So that's

714
00:48:18,760 --> 00:48:22,560
Speaker 2: minus two thousand, all right, the Jets to miss, thank

715
00:48:22,640 --> 00:48:25,880
Speaker 2: Christ finally a winner at plus one ten. Should have

716
00:48:25,920 --> 00:48:29,680
Speaker 2: put a one hundred units on it. It's just so maddening.

717
00:48:30,320 --> 00:48:34,280
Speaker 2: Uh And then this last one Cleveland Jets and Detroit

718
00:48:34,320 --> 00:48:37,560
Speaker 2: to miss. Obviously I went only one for three, but

719
00:48:37,640 --> 00:48:41,120
Speaker 2: that was only a quarter unit, so that is uh

720
00:48:41,680 --> 00:48:44,280
Speaker 2: so this is so that is that cost me two fifty.

721
00:48:44,600 --> 00:48:49,200
Speaker 2: So now, so I finished the year with this minus

722
00:48:49,239 --> 00:48:53,960
Speaker 2: seventy six ninety. I though, want to show you what

723
00:48:54,280 --> 00:48:59,000
Speaker 2: I would have finished if the Jags had won the

724
00:48:59,160 --> 00:49:02,839
Speaker 2: final game of the year. If the Jags had won

725
00:49:03,640 --> 00:49:07,239
Speaker 2: the final So Monzi, just remember the number seventy six ninety.

726
00:49:07,239 --> 00:49:09,520
Speaker 2: It's well, it's easy. If the Jags had won the

727
00:49:09,520 --> 00:49:13,279
Speaker 2: final game of the year they would have made the playoffs,

728
00:49:13,520 --> 00:49:17,000
Speaker 2: which would have meant instead of losing two thousand, I

729
00:49:17,040 --> 00:49:20,480
Speaker 2: would have won thirty two hundred on that two unit bet.

730
00:49:21,000 --> 00:49:21,960
Speaker 3: Right, Okay?

731
00:49:22,120 --> 00:49:25,840
Speaker 2: So that is so? That is a fifty two hundred

732
00:49:25,880 --> 00:49:30,240
Speaker 2: dollars swing on just that bet. And then the Jags

733
00:49:31,960 --> 00:49:37,080
Speaker 2: Chiefs parlay Jags to make the playoffs instead of Jags

734
00:49:37,120 --> 00:49:40,160
Speaker 2: and Chiefs both to win the division. Pardon me, instead

735
00:49:40,200 --> 00:49:46,520
Speaker 2: of losing two thousand, I would have won plus one

736
00:49:46,640 --> 00:49:52,520
Speaker 2: fifty six. So I would have won three thousand one

737
00:49:52,680 --> 00:49:55,759
Speaker 2: twenty so right? Is that right?

738
00:49:55,840 --> 00:49:56,080
Speaker 3: Yeah?

739
00:49:56,360 --> 00:49:59,839
Speaker 2: Thirty one to twenty so plus? So how much did

740
00:49:59,840 --> 00:50:02,359
Speaker 2: I say I lost demons on the year seventy six

741
00:50:02,520 --> 00:50:07,879
Speaker 2: ninety seventy six ninety Instead I would have been up

742
00:50:07,920 --> 00:50:13,080
Speaker 2: twenty six thirty. So when I say that that game

743
00:50:13,960 --> 00:50:19,000
Speaker 2: was a swing, that game represented the Jags Titans game

744
00:50:19,320 --> 00:50:22,960
Speaker 2: when Trevor reached for the goal line and wasn't, in short,

745
00:50:23,440 --> 00:50:28,440
Speaker 2: represented a swing of how much that one game? I

746
00:50:28,480 --> 00:50:34,160
Speaker 2: can't read twenty dollars? Uh?

747
00:50:34,239 --> 00:50:38,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, man, I think you should probably start listening to

748
00:50:38,120 --> 00:50:40,760
Speaker 3: your instincts like Belichick and Pete Carroll.

749
00:50:40,880 --> 00:50:45,919
Speaker 2: My instincts, My instincts were bet the Jags. I didn't

750
00:50:45,960 --> 00:50:49,359
Speaker 2: know Trevor was gonna get hurt all right. Last thing though,

751
00:50:49,520 --> 00:50:55,120
Speaker 2: because despite all of it, still sneaky alive for a

752
00:50:55,200 --> 00:50:57,839
Speaker 2: huge year. I just need to get the super Bowl right.

753
00:50:58,200 --> 00:51:01,480
Speaker 2: Oh boy, those aren't green red, which means they're both alive.

754
00:51:01,520 --> 00:51:03,440
Speaker 2: I got the two seed in the three seeds Kansas

755
00:51:03,480 --> 00:51:06,880
Speaker 2: City Dallas to make the super Bowl at plus thirty

756
00:51:07,640 --> 00:51:10,279
Speaker 2: fifty and Kancity defeat Dallas in the super Bowl at

757
00:51:10,320 --> 00:51:12,319
Speaker 2: fifty to one. So if we get at Kans City

758
00:51:12,400 --> 00:51:17,680
Speaker 2: Dallas super Bowl on the year, I win just over

759
00:51:18,239 --> 00:51:22,840
Speaker 2: twenty three. And if we get Kancity beating Dallas on

760
00:51:22,880 --> 00:51:25,040
Speaker 2: the year, I win just over eighty three. So we're

761
00:51:25,040 --> 00:51:28,719
Speaker 2: not dead yet. And the Jags killed me and be

762
00:51:28,800 --> 00:51:31,560
Speaker 2: trying to outsmart Vegas killed me. That's the reality of it.

763
00:51:31,600 --> 00:51:34,160
Speaker 2: And we're accountable on this show. We're not gonna be

764
00:51:34,160 --> 00:51:37,560
Speaker 2: out here be in some tout that's acting like we

765
00:51:38,000 --> 00:51:42,040
Speaker 2: every year we have winning years. This was a tough one.

766
00:51:42,080 --> 00:51:44,720
Speaker 2: I don't need this recap screen on the screen. Let's

767
00:51:44,760 --> 00:51:48,120
Speaker 2: move on to last week, which was the final week

768
00:51:48,160 --> 00:51:50,600
Speaker 2: of the year, my chance to get at five hundred,

769
00:51:50,960 --> 00:51:52,040
Speaker 2: and we went two and three.

770
00:51:52,680 --> 00:51:53,719
Speaker 3: God dogg it.

771
00:51:53,800 --> 00:51:54,719
Speaker 2: This was frustrating.

772
00:51:55,480 --> 00:51:58,600
Speaker 3: YEP got Cleveland seven to.

773
00:52:00,440 --> 00:52:03,160
Speaker 2: New England minus one and a half total loser, Detroit

774
00:52:03,160 --> 00:52:05,560
Speaker 2: minus three and a half. Great bet the Jet the

775
00:52:05,560 --> 00:52:07,560
Speaker 2: Giants plus five and a half they won out right

776
00:52:07,800 --> 00:52:10,600
Speaker 2: and Miami, how they didn't cover three? They win the

777
00:52:10,640 --> 00:52:14,080
Speaker 2: whole game super Punk Return. But that's okay. Now we

778
00:52:14,200 --> 00:52:18,160
Speaker 2: get to our actual wild card picks. Demons. I'm gonna

779
00:52:18,160 --> 00:52:22,000
Speaker 2: tell you right now. The first two I don't feel

780
00:52:22,000 --> 00:52:26,279
Speaker 2: great about, but I take every game. My dream of

781
00:52:26,320 --> 00:52:30,400
Speaker 2: going thirteen and zero in the playoffs stays alive, at

782
00:52:30,480 --> 00:52:33,439
Speaker 2: least until the game's kickoff. The first two I don't

783
00:52:33,440 --> 00:52:35,560
Speaker 2: feel great about. Give me the first one.

784
00:52:36,480 --> 00:52:39,760
Speaker 3: Your first one's Cleveland minus two and a half at Houston.

785
00:52:41,480 --> 00:52:47,600
Speaker 2: Okay, I really don't like taking a road favorite, and

786
00:52:47,680 --> 00:52:54,600
Speaker 2: I really don't like going with the worst quarterback. So

787
00:52:54,760 --> 00:52:57,680
Speaker 2: you might say, why would I not take Houston. I

788
00:52:57,960 --> 00:53:02,439
Speaker 2: do not think Houston's front is going to be able

789
00:53:02,480 --> 00:53:07,960
Speaker 2: to block Cleveland's front, and Houston, if you can, because

790
00:53:07,960 --> 00:53:11,080
Speaker 2: of their wide receiver injuries. If you can take away

791
00:53:11,160 --> 00:53:14,520
Speaker 2: Nico Collins and I think Jim Schwartz's defense is going

792
00:53:14,560 --> 00:53:17,360
Speaker 2: to be able to you can make that offense grind

793
00:53:17,400 --> 00:53:21,000
Speaker 2: to a halt. So you have a Cleveland team that

794
00:53:21,160 --> 00:53:24,239
Speaker 2: is rested because they sat every one of importance in

795
00:53:24,280 --> 00:53:27,720
Speaker 2: Week eighteen against a Houston team coming off a massive

796
00:53:27,760 --> 00:53:31,000
Speaker 2: emotional win that they maybe got a little lucky on

797
00:53:31,080 --> 00:53:34,200
Speaker 2: at the end. I don't love it, but I'll take

798
00:53:34,280 --> 00:53:38,200
Speaker 2: Cleveland minus two and a half in round one at Houston,

799
00:53:40,040 --> 00:53:44,640
Speaker 2: and so that that's where I'm at on that. Demond's

800
00:53:44,920 --> 00:53:47,120
Speaker 2: the next one, and I'll tell you why I don't

801
00:53:47,120 --> 00:53:48,319
Speaker 2: feel great about the next one.

802
00:53:49,080 --> 00:53:52,560
Speaker 3: Kansas City minus four and a half versus Miami.

803
00:53:54,480 --> 00:53:57,680
Speaker 2: Okay, here's why I don't love this one, because I'm

804
00:53:57,760 --> 00:54:01,520
Speaker 2: just getting a terrible number. This line opened at one

805
00:54:01,520 --> 00:54:04,840
Speaker 2: and a half, instantly got bet up to two and

806
00:54:04,840 --> 00:54:07,960
Speaker 2: a half three, and now as the weather reports have

807
00:54:08,000 --> 00:54:10,920
Speaker 2: come out throughout the week and more Miami injury reports,

808
00:54:11,120 --> 00:54:13,200
Speaker 2: the line has creeped all the way to four and

809
00:54:13,200 --> 00:54:17,799
Speaker 2: a half. So as the show makes fun of me

810
00:54:17,840 --> 00:54:20,880
Speaker 2: for though while I don't always bet on the Chiefs,

811
00:54:21,200 --> 00:54:23,640
Speaker 2: if I bet a Chiefs game, it is always on

812
00:54:23,680 --> 00:54:26,440
Speaker 2: the Chiefs. I never go against them in these spots.

813
00:54:26,800 --> 00:54:30,480
Speaker 2: I also think Miami is gonna be too cold to

814
00:54:30,480 --> 00:54:34,320
Speaker 2: play football. I don't think they're prepared for these elements,

815
00:54:34,640 --> 00:54:36,840
Speaker 2: and I think the elements are gonna play a major

816
00:54:36,960 --> 00:54:40,319
Speaker 2: factor in a number of games this weekend. I think

817
00:54:40,400 --> 00:54:44,680
Speaker 2: the Chiefs resting last week is super helpful. Miami's obviously

818
00:54:44,760 --> 00:54:50,919
Speaker 2: playing it's worst football of the year. Mahomes is, without exaggeration,

819
00:54:51,719 --> 00:54:56,120
Speaker 2: the greatest statistical playoff quarterback of all time. He is

820
00:54:56,239 --> 00:55:01,080
Speaker 2: first all time in winning percentage, completion percentage, yards per game,

821
00:55:01,800 --> 00:55:06,959
Speaker 2: passer rating, touchdown interception ratio. I think Miami is while

822
00:55:06,960 --> 00:55:10,040
Speaker 2: the Chiefs offense is not great. Miami's defense is so

823
00:55:10,239 --> 00:55:13,439
Speaker 2: banged up. I think the Chiefs offense could look good

824
00:55:13,440 --> 00:55:17,319
Speaker 2: against them. And I don't love swallowing the full four

825
00:55:17,320 --> 00:55:20,160
Speaker 2: and a half points, but I will my Kansas City

826
00:55:20,600 --> 00:55:26,600
Speaker 2: minus four and a half against Miami, and that's they're

827
00:55:26,640 --> 00:55:28,799
Speaker 2: the home team, they're the better team, they're playing better

828
00:55:28,840 --> 00:55:29,399
Speaker 2: as of late.

829
00:55:29,520 --> 00:55:34,600
Speaker 3: Next you've got Pittsburgh plus ten at Buffalo. F good

830
00:55:34,640 --> 00:55:35,839
Speaker 3: about that one. It's just.

831
00:55:38,000 --> 00:55:40,400
Speaker 2: Well, it's just way too many points for what's gonna

832
00:55:40,400 --> 00:55:43,839
Speaker 2: be a wind snowstorm. I mean, it's go there's gonna

833
00:55:43,840 --> 00:55:46,600
Speaker 2: be a foot of snow, there's gonna be massive wins.

834
00:55:47,320 --> 00:55:49,480
Speaker 2: It's just too many points for a game played in

835
00:55:49,520 --> 00:55:57,920
Speaker 2: those conditions, and so I Buffalo blow them out. No, No,

836
00:55:58,000 --> 00:56:01,960
Speaker 2: I mean I think more likely. It's like thirteen to

837
00:56:02,080 --> 00:56:06,319
Speaker 2: six is more likely, and not six because of two

838
00:56:06,320 --> 00:56:09,120
Speaker 2: field goals, six because of a touchdown by Pittsburgh and

839
00:56:09,160 --> 00:56:11,920
Speaker 2: a missed extra point. Like I mean, these conditions are

840
00:56:11,960 --> 00:56:16,880
Speaker 2: going to be brutal, but Buffalo oddly is not as

841
00:56:16,920 --> 00:56:20,439
Speaker 2: good as you would expect in terrible conditions given where

842
00:56:20,480 --> 00:56:25,480
Speaker 2: they play. Also, we know Tomlin as an underdog is unbelievable.

843
00:56:26,000 --> 00:56:32,040
Speaker 2: Josh Allen hasn't covered seven straight games as a double

844
00:56:32,080 --> 00:56:37,920
Speaker 2: digit favorite, and Josh Allen is always over Josh Allen's

845
00:56:37,920 --> 00:56:40,320
Speaker 2: two and six against the spread in his playoff career.

846
00:56:40,680 --> 00:56:45,320
Speaker 2: He's always overvalued come the postseason. I'm getting the better coach,

847
00:56:46,480 --> 00:56:50,400
Speaker 2: I think, And you can't say the better defense because TJ.

848
00:56:50,520 --> 00:56:52,880
Speaker 2: Watts out for the game. But I'm getting the better

849
00:56:52,960 --> 00:56:55,360
Speaker 2: coach and a team that wants to run the ball

850
00:56:55,760 --> 00:56:59,800
Speaker 2: in these terrible conditions. I will take the ten points next.

851
00:57:00,560 --> 00:57:03,200
Speaker 3: Dallas minus seven and a half versus Green Bay. I

852
00:57:03,200 --> 00:57:09,000
Speaker 3: gotta tell you this one's kind of disrespectful. But what's disrespectful? God?

853
00:57:09,080 --> 00:57:11,680
Speaker 3: Jordan Love on Green Bay. He's good.

854
00:57:11,760 --> 00:57:14,560
Speaker 2: I like Jordan Love, Yeah, but he's The Cowboys are

855
00:57:14,560 --> 00:57:18,320
Speaker 2: gonna score thirty eight points. So can Jordan Love in

856
00:57:18,360 --> 00:57:21,720
Speaker 2: his first playoff start ever break thirty. That's what he's

857
00:57:21,760 --> 00:57:24,560
Speaker 2: gonna need just to cover because the Cowboys are scoring

858
00:57:24,600 --> 00:57:28,439
Speaker 2: thirty eight points in this game. The Cowboys offense at

859
00:57:28,480 --> 00:57:33,440
Speaker 2: home against that brutal Green Bay defense and Joe Barry

860
00:57:33,520 --> 00:57:37,360
Speaker 2: coordinating it no chance. So the Cowboys are gonna move

861
00:57:37,440 --> 00:57:41,080
Speaker 2: the ball at will. A bit of a revenge spot

862
00:57:41,160 --> 00:57:44,800
Speaker 2: Mike McCarthy, the team that fired him, Dak chip on

863
00:57:44,880 --> 00:57:47,320
Speaker 2: his shoulder that he at least should be in the

864
00:57:47,440 --> 00:57:50,880
Speaker 2: MVP conversation instead of it just being handed to Lamar.

865
00:57:51,440 --> 00:57:55,680
Speaker 2: All those things, the Cowboys getting the exact draw that

866
00:57:55,720 --> 00:58:01,840
Speaker 2: they want. This is my second favorite bet of the weekend.

867
00:58:02,120 --> 00:58:06,520
Speaker 2: The first three games of the six games this weekend,

868
00:58:07,320 --> 00:58:10,080
Speaker 2: I am least confident in Cleveland minus two and a

869
00:58:10,080 --> 00:58:14,680
Speaker 2: half against Houston. I am next least confident Pittsburgh plus

870
00:58:14,680 --> 00:58:19,240
Speaker 2: ten at Buffalo, and the I am next as far

871
00:58:19,320 --> 00:58:22,480
Speaker 2: as you know, confidence level kensity minus four and a

872
00:58:22,520 --> 00:58:25,520
Speaker 2: half against Miami. The last three games are the three

873
00:58:25,520 --> 00:58:28,600
Speaker 2: games I like the most. Dallas minus seven and a

874
00:58:28,600 --> 00:58:33,120
Speaker 2: half against Green Bay is my second favorite bet of

875
00:58:33,160 --> 00:58:36,080
Speaker 2: the weekend. I understand the Cowboys are three and twelve

876
00:58:36,160 --> 00:58:40,000
Speaker 2: against the spread in the playoffs in their last fifteen games.

877
00:58:39,920 --> 00:58:43,840
Speaker 3: And thirty seven and a half. I don't know if

878
00:58:43,840 --> 00:58:44,840
Speaker 3: you had already known that.

879
00:58:46,720 --> 00:58:49,720
Speaker 2: But no, no, no, no, it's not. There's no chance that

880
00:58:49,800 --> 00:58:53,240
Speaker 2: it is. That's got to be at plus a bunch

881
00:58:53,280 --> 00:58:53,680
Speaker 2: of money.

882
00:58:53,720 --> 00:58:55,880
Speaker 3: Oh, Cowboys the game.

883
00:58:56,400 --> 00:59:01,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, the Cowboys. No, the Cowboys scoring over thirty seven

884
00:59:02,000 --> 00:59:04,760
Speaker 2: and a half points is plus two sixty five? Is

885
00:59:04,800 --> 00:59:07,640
Speaker 2: what they is? What it is? Oh, so the Cowboys

886
00:59:07,720 --> 00:59:12,080
Speaker 2: team total is plus two over if I'm right. What

887
00:59:12,120 --> 00:59:13,880
Speaker 2: he's saying is, if I'm right, I can get them

888
00:59:13,920 --> 00:59:17,000
Speaker 2: plus two six and five on that. My guess is

889
00:59:17,560 --> 00:59:24,040
Speaker 2: the Cowboys actual projected total for the game is twenty

890
00:59:24,120 --> 00:59:28,200
Speaker 2: nine and a half, thirty and a half. That's that

891
00:59:28,520 --> 00:59:30,320
Speaker 2: would be my I mean, I can look, I don't

892
00:59:30,320 --> 00:59:32,840
Speaker 2: have to guess. I can just look or go ahead

893
00:59:32,840 --> 00:59:34,440
Speaker 2: and just Daniel just put it in the dock for

894
00:59:34,560 --> 00:59:37,760
Speaker 2: us so we can see what their actual team total is.

895
00:59:38,000 --> 00:59:41,680
Speaker 2: Thirty and a half. Yeah, yeah, so that makes sense,

896
00:59:41,680 --> 00:59:44,240
Speaker 2: all right, Demand the next one because this is my

897
00:59:44,280 --> 00:59:45,680
Speaker 2: favorite bet of the weekend.

898
00:59:45,960 --> 00:59:48,400
Speaker 3: You got the Rams plus three at Detroit. Gonna be

899
00:59:48,400 --> 00:59:51,040
Speaker 3: a good game, revenge game.

900
00:59:51,120 --> 00:59:56,000
Speaker 2: I don't know about that. Who's got the better coach

901
00:59:57,120 --> 01:00:01,800
Speaker 2: the Rams. Who has the better quarterback the Rams? Who

902
01:00:01,800 --> 01:00:05,840
Speaker 2: has the better defense the Rams now that Laport is out.

903
01:00:05,920 --> 01:00:10,040
Speaker 2: Who has the better skill position guys the Rams? Aside

904
01:00:10,080 --> 01:00:15,600
Speaker 2: from offensive line? What is one edge the Lions have

905
01:00:16,120 --> 01:00:20,880
Speaker 2: They don't have one. Wrong team's favored the Rams right now.

906
01:00:21,640 --> 01:00:23,800
Speaker 2: I yeah, no, of course, I mean that is, and

907
01:00:23,840 --> 01:00:26,520
Speaker 2: that is an obvious edge, But you don't get the

908
01:00:26,520 --> 01:00:28,320
Speaker 2: home field edge of like, oh, and now the Rams

909
01:00:28,400 --> 01:00:31,320
Speaker 2: got to play in the elements. It's a Dome team, obviously.

910
01:00:31,840 --> 01:00:36,280
Speaker 2: I think that the Rams right now. I think the

911
01:00:36,400 --> 01:00:41,760
Speaker 2: Rams are the fifth best team in the NFL right now.

912
01:00:43,520 --> 01:00:45,960
Speaker 2: The only teams I would have ahead of the Rams

913
01:00:46,240 --> 01:00:49,560
Speaker 2: are the Chiefs, Cowboys, Ravens, and Niners. I think the

914
01:00:49,640 --> 01:00:52,320
Speaker 2: Rams right now are better than Buffalo. They are just

915
01:00:52,360 --> 01:00:54,480
Speaker 2: as hot as Buffalo. By the way, They've won seven

916
01:00:54,480 --> 01:00:57,520
Speaker 2: of eight. Their one loss was an overtime loss to Baltimore.

917
01:00:58,040 --> 01:01:01,080
Speaker 2: The team's healthy and playing great. So I love the

918
01:01:01,200 --> 01:01:04,240
Speaker 2: Rams in this spot, all right. So that's my favorite

919
01:01:04,240 --> 01:01:07,280
Speaker 2: bet of the weekend. That my second favorite bet is

920
01:01:07,280 --> 01:01:09,479
Speaker 2: the Cowboys minus seven and a half. And then number

921
01:01:09,520 --> 01:01:12,840
Speaker 2: three is this go ahead to Monsey Tampa.

922
01:01:13,160 --> 01:01:15,440
Speaker 3: This spiteful bets. What we're gonna call it Tampa Bay

923
01:01:15,480 --> 01:01:18,200
Speaker 3: plus three versus Philly.

924
01:01:19,520 --> 01:01:21,640
Speaker 2: I mean, listen, I don't like the how Tampa looked

925
01:01:21,640 --> 01:01:25,240
Speaker 2: in Week eighteen, and Baker's clearly hurt, so that's not good.

926
01:01:25,600 --> 01:01:30,840
Speaker 2: But Philly is right now this moment. Philly's a bottom

927
01:01:30,880 --> 01:01:35,320
Speaker 2: five team in the NFL. They have the worst defense

928
01:01:35,360 --> 01:01:38,280
Speaker 2: of any playoff team. Their quarterback is banged up and

929
01:01:38,360 --> 01:01:41,160
Speaker 2: not playing well, their coach doesn't know what he's doing,

930
01:01:41,440 --> 01:01:44,680
Speaker 2: and both of their star wide receivers are hurt. Like

931
01:01:45,600 --> 01:01:48,800
Speaker 2: what what does Philly do well right now? And be

932
01:01:49,040 --> 01:01:51,240
Speaker 2: like the tush push, Well, you gotta get to third

933
01:01:51,280 --> 01:01:54,000
Speaker 2: and short or fourth and short. For that the defense

934
01:01:54,040 --> 01:01:57,400
Speaker 2: can't stop anyone. Patricia un't know what he's doing, Like

935
01:01:57,640 --> 01:02:02,560
Speaker 2: I Tampa now, because Tampa's far from a great team,

936
01:02:02,560 --> 01:02:05,760
Speaker 2: they're barely even a good team, and their quarterback's hurt.

937
01:02:06,040 --> 01:02:10,520
Speaker 2: You're nervous about this spot. But Tampa plus three come on,

938
01:02:11,320 --> 01:02:14,680
Speaker 2: And so I love Tampa. I shouldn't say love. I

939
01:02:14,720 --> 01:02:18,160
Speaker 2: really like Tampa in this spot, but the Rams plus three,

940
01:02:18,240 --> 01:02:20,320
Speaker 2: Dallas minus seven and a half, Tampa plus three are

941
01:02:20,360 --> 01:02:23,640
Speaker 2: my three favorite bets. Less confident in Pittsburgh plus ten,

942
01:02:23,960 --> 01:02:26,120
Speaker 2: Kansas City minus four and a half, and Cleveland minus

943
01:02:26,120 --> 01:02:29,600
Speaker 2: two and a half. And my dream of going six

944
01:02:29,760 --> 01:02:32,960
Speaker 2: or thirteen to zero in the playoffs. You know it

945
01:02:33,080 --> 01:02:35,160
Speaker 2: starts this weekend, all right? What's the offer?

946
01:02:36,480 --> 01:02:38,560
Speaker 3: All right? So it's gonna be super cold in Kansas

947
01:02:38,600 --> 01:02:41,520
Speaker 3: City for that game. So we're gonna check out the

948
01:02:41,560 --> 01:02:44,280
Speaker 3: running back who runs harder than anybody in the league,

949
01:02:44,480 --> 01:02:48,840
Speaker 3: Isaiah Pacheco one hundred plus rushing yards at plus three seventy.

950
01:02:48,920 --> 01:02:49,480
Speaker 3: You taken it.

951
01:02:52,320 --> 01:03:00,720
Speaker 2: Plus three seventy makes it somewhat attractive, will he Andy

952
01:03:00,840 --> 01:03:05,520
Speaker 2: doesn't love sticking to the run, and so it's it's

953
01:03:05,520 --> 01:03:08,400
Speaker 2: worth a little flyer at plus three seventy.

954
01:03:09,160 --> 01:03:12,800
Speaker 3: I certainly like heavy than they have any other time

955
01:03:12,880 --> 01:03:15,040
Speaker 3: throughout this year. I mean, I feel like they're they're

956
01:03:15,040 --> 01:03:16,680
Speaker 3: not run heavy right now. I feel like they keep

957
01:03:16,720 --> 01:03:18,560
Speaker 3: it balanced. No, but they are going to be running

958
01:03:18,560 --> 01:03:22,280
Speaker 3: more in this game. I would think, you would imagine.

959
01:03:24,080 --> 01:03:27,000
Speaker 2: I would think the flip side of that is in

960
01:03:27,040 --> 01:03:31,320
Speaker 2: Miami's pass rush is so decimated. I'll tell you who's

961
01:03:31,800 --> 01:03:38,080
Speaker 2: with blind bet every game of the playoffs Mahomes rushing total,

962
01:03:38,680 --> 01:03:43,400
Speaker 2: Mahomes rushing overs every game. I'm gonna bet it. Mahomes

963
01:03:44,600 --> 01:03:50,960
Speaker 2: is as effective of a scrambling quarterback, not punishing like

964
01:03:51,080 --> 01:03:53,960
Speaker 2: Josh Allen or elusive like Lamar, but as far as

965
01:03:54,040 --> 01:03:57,280
Speaker 2: I can get the yardage I need as any quarterback

966
01:03:57,320 --> 01:04:00,160
Speaker 2: in the league. And he doesn't do it much in

967
01:04:00,160 --> 01:04:03,600
Speaker 2: the regular season because he's trying to stay healthy. In

968
01:04:03,640 --> 01:04:08,000
Speaker 2: these playoffs, he's gonna be running Mahomes rushing overs. I

969
01:04:08,160 --> 01:04:11,600
Speaker 2: love maybe a little taste on Pacheco there as well.

970
01:04:11,680 --> 01:04:15,000
Speaker 2: All Right, quick break, demonse, right back, come back and

971
01:04:15,040 --> 01:04:22,200
Speaker 2: answer listener questions. That's next, What's right? All right, welcome

972
01:04:22,240 --> 01:04:24,280
Speaker 2: back in What's Right with Nick? Right demonse. Let's get

973
01:04:24,280 --> 01:04:26,760
Speaker 2: through some of the listener questions from the chat quickly

974
01:04:26,800 --> 01:04:27,640
Speaker 2: before we move on.

975
01:04:28,440 --> 01:04:30,800
Speaker 3: Scott asks, Uh, Nick, do you think like I do,

976
01:04:30,920 --> 01:04:33,600
Speaker 3: that this is Mike Tomlin's last game in Pittsburgh?

977
01:04:34,840 --> 01:04:37,760
Speaker 2: No, absolutely not. That's not a team that I think

978
01:04:37,800 --> 01:04:40,000
Speaker 2: is gonna fire their coach if they lose in Round one.

979
01:04:40,320 --> 01:04:42,240
Speaker 2: I don't think it's gonna be his last game. I

980
01:04:42,240 --> 01:04:44,520
Speaker 2: think if there was any questions, he answered them at

981
01:04:44,560 --> 01:04:46,200
Speaker 2: the way they ended the season.

982
01:04:46,120 --> 01:04:50,560
Speaker 3: All right, Next, Michael Curtis, should Lakers go all in

983
01:04:50,640 --> 01:04:53,600
Speaker 3: for someone like Levigne or stick with the current roster

984
01:04:53,720 --> 01:04:54,920
Speaker 3: and make marginal moves?

985
01:04:55,920 --> 01:04:58,040
Speaker 2: Well, they stick with the current roster, they're drawing dead.

986
01:04:58,080 --> 01:04:59,760
Speaker 2: I don't think you have to go all in for

987
01:05:00,760 --> 01:05:02,520
Speaker 2: I think you have to go partially. And I don't

988
01:05:02,560 --> 01:05:04,200
Speaker 2: think you're gonna have to give up a ton for

989
01:05:04,320 --> 01:05:07,480
Speaker 2: Zach Levine. Probably give up DeAngelo Ruey in a first

990
01:05:07,560 --> 01:05:09,720
Speaker 2: round pick and be able to get Zach Levine. Bulls

991
01:05:09,720 --> 01:05:13,760
Speaker 2: have played better without him. But yeah, the Lakers need

992
01:05:13,800 --> 01:05:17,400
Speaker 2: to make a significant change, a significant change. Next.

993
01:05:17,960 --> 01:05:20,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, maybe bring the end season tournament back play a

994
01:05:20,520 --> 01:05:24,560
Speaker 3: little bit harder. Class Onion twenty five said, really curious

995
01:05:24,600 --> 01:05:26,880
Speaker 3: to see how beat who's.

996
01:05:26,640 --> 01:05:28,120
Speaker 2: Bebe Bill Belichick?

997
01:05:28,520 --> 01:05:31,840
Speaker 3: Bill? Oh yeah, Bill Belichick does on another team. Well,

998
01:05:31,920 --> 01:05:34,439
Speaker 3: his coaching style work with a new organization that isn't

999
01:05:34,520 --> 01:05:36,880
Speaker 3: used isn't used to his old school ways.

1000
01:05:38,080 --> 01:05:40,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, I think it'll work. Listen, I think Belichick's

1001
01:05:40,480 --> 01:05:43,439
Speaker 2: style still works. He's just had terrible, terrible quarterback play,

1002
01:05:44,120 --> 01:05:47,520
Speaker 2: and I think that he's he hasn't necessarily had the

1003
01:05:47,560 --> 01:05:50,680
Speaker 2: best picks of offensive coordinators and he's had bad quarterback play.

1004
01:05:50,920 --> 01:05:52,000
Speaker 2: It's simple as that, all right.

1005
01:05:52,080 --> 01:05:56,040
Speaker 3: Next, Trevor Barber asked, Nick, do you do you have

1006
01:05:56,080 --> 01:05:58,760
Speaker 3: any poker tournaments coming up? I enjoy watching you play

1007
01:05:58,800 --> 01:06:00,080
Speaker 3: the pros and taking their money.

1008
01:06:01,240 --> 01:06:03,720
Speaker 2: Well, last time I played the pros, they took my money.

1009
01:06:04,120 --> 01:06:07,400
Speaker 2: I appreciate that, Trevor. I so I have an opportunity

1010
01:06:07,640 --> 01:06:11,440
Speaker 2: to play on Poker Go shortly after the super Bowl,

1011
01:06:12,560 --> 01:06:14,360
Speaker 2: but I don't know if I'm gonna be doing that

1012
01:06:14,480 --> 01:06:16,959
Speaker 2: or not. Uh So, I'm not sure. I hope once

1013
01:06:17,000 --> 01:06:21,160
Speaker 2: football is over that world opens up to me more again.

1014
01:06:21,200 --> 01:06:23,080
Speaker 2: I had an opportunity to go to Houston a few

1015
01:06:23,120 --> 01:06:26,920
Speaker 2: weeks ago, but I couldn't. There's a great tournament series,

1016
01:06:26,960 --> 01:06:29,000
Speaker 2: it wouldn't be on TV right now going on in

1017
01:06:29,040 --> 01:06:32,360
Speaker 2: Atlantic City that I would be going to. But your

1018
01:06:32,360 --> 01:06:35,360
Speaker 2: mother not shockingly, you know, it's been a couple months.

1019
01:06:35,400 --> 01:06:38,000
Speaker 2: So she's going on a nice little Caribbean vacation for

1020
01:06:38,040 --> 01:06:41,000
Speaker 2: the weekend while I am, you know, just at home

1021
01:06:41,120 --> 01:06:44,640
Speaker 2: in the cold with your baby, sister. Your I thought

1022
01:06:44,680 --> 01:06:49,440
Speaker 2: demonse that my mom was gonna be helping out with

1023
01:06:49,640 --> 01:06:52,760
Speaker 2: Deanna this weekend, so I wasn't really tripping about your

1024
01:06:52,800 --> 01:06:57,360
Speaker 2: your mom, your mom is going to uh locations I

1025
01:06:57,360 --> 01:07:01,920
Speaker 2: don't unknown in the Caribbean for her best friend's birthday.

1026
01:07:04,080 --> 01:07:07,280
Speaker 2: And I just assumed, I guess that she had worked

1027
01:07:07,280 --> 01:07:10,680
Speaker 2: out with my mom that Deanna would be with my mom.

1028
01:07:11,000 --> 01:07:15,560
Speaker 2: My mom's going out of town. It is wild card weekend.

1029
01:07:16,360 --> 01:07:20,640
Speaker 2: Deanna doesn't even have school Monday because it's Mlkday and

1030
01:07:20,680 --> 01:07:24,480
Speaker 2: it's just me and her. I'm like, I'm legit. I'm

1031
01:07:24,520 --> 01:07:26,680
Speaker 2: not gonna lie to you. De Monsey. You would have

1032
01:07:26,720 --> 01:07:31,880
Speaker 2: been so annoyed me. I looked in to plane tickets

1033
01:07:32,560 --> 01:07:35,760
Speaker 2: of either you coming here or more likely me sending

1034
01:07:35,800 --> 01:07:38,680
Speaker 2: her to you her first ever flight by herself. But

1035
01:07:38,800 --> 01:07:42,360
Speaker 2: they I couldn't get it done. I have to watch

1036
01:07:42,400 --> 01:07:47,360
Speaker 2: football all weekend and the Chiefs play Saturday night. Can

1037
01:07:47,400 --> 01:07:50,160
Speaker 2: you imagine if the Chiefs lose, which they're not going to,

1038
01:07:50,480 --> 01:07:53,720
Speaker 2: but if they lose, the mood I'm gonna be in

1039
01:07:53,920 --> 01:07:58,760
Speaker 2: Sunday it's not good. I'm nervous about this whole week.

1040
01:07:58,840 --> 01:08:02,240
Speaker 3: We've got to got a couple options. We got Patrushka,

1041
01:08:02,600 --> 01:08:04,920
Speaker 3: we got you know, we got.

1042
01:08:04,800 --> 01:08:08,280
Speaker 2: No no, it's just let's all on. Let's not name names.

1043
01:08:08,320 --> 01:08:10,880
Speaker 2: I don't like to publicly say people's names. Yeah, I was.

1044
01:08:10,920 --> 01:08:13,200
Speaker 3: I felt weird about it. I thought about saying ice

1045
01:08:13,280 --> 01:08:15,160
Speaker 3: cream lady, but I didn't want to be disrespectful.

1046
01:08:15,280 --> 01:08:17,920
Speaker 2: No, no, no, but Trusha is but you did the

1047
01:08:18,000 --> 01:08:21,599
Speaker 2: right thing. Butatrushka is fine. She's a public figure, she's

1048
01:08:21,640 --> 01:08:25,599
Speaker 2: a social media influencer and ice cream magnate. Next door. Yeah,

1049
01:08:25,720 --> 01:08:28,280
Speaker 2: maybe for a day, maybe a day.

1050
01:08:29,040 --> 01:08:30,280
Speaker 3: Make the iPad charged.

1051
01:08:32,720 --> 01:08:35,280
Speaker 2: And I love Deanna, don't get me wrong. And I

1052
01:08:35,320 --> 01:08:36,960
Speaker 2: love spending time with my daughter.
