0:00:42.520 --> 0:00:46.000
<v Speaker 2>Welcome In Episode two O seven, What's right with Nick Wright?

0:00:46.920 --> 0:00:49.839
<v Speaker 2>Oh what a day to have a platform, to have

0:00:49.880 --> 0:00:55.000
<v Speaker 2>a microphone. In the last twenty four hours, Pete Carroll out,

0:00:55.120 --> 0:00:59.680
<v Speaker 2>Nick Saban retires, Stephen A. Smith goes scorched earth on

0:00:59.720 --> 0:01:03.240
<v Speaker 2>my only sworn enemy in the media, and that dates

0:01:03.280 --> 0:01:07.080
<v Speaker 2>back twenty years For me, I was a little upset

0:01:07.120 --> 0:01:10.960
<v Speaker 2>I wasn't included in the list of associates and enemies

0:01:11.040 --> 0:01:15.240
<v Speaker 2>on Steven A's grant last night. And now the goat

0:01:15.319 --> 0:01:19.000
<v Speaker 2>head coach is gone in New England. So we will

0:01:19.000 --> 0:01:21.520
<v Speaker 2>get into all of that. But first what missed the

0:01:21.560 --> 0:01:26.000
<v Speaker 2>cut on today's show, Kawhi Leonard, Listen, whenever a guy

0:01:26.040 --> 0:01:28.080
<v Speaker 2>shows you you can stay healthy for three months, you

0:01:28.160 --> 0:01:30.080
<v Speaker 2>gotta triple down with a three or one hundred and

0:01:30.080 --> 0:01:32.919
<v Speaker 2>fifty three million dollar extension. That's not in the show.

0:01:33.200 --> 0:01:36.480
<v Speaker 2>Victor windbin Yama records his first career triple double. That's

0:01:36.520 --> 0:01:40.640
<v Speaker 2>on the show. And some stupid tweet comparing two quarterbacks

0:01:40.920 --> 0:01:44.160
<v Speaker 2>that is beneath us and beneath the show and does

0:01:44.200 --> 0:01:48.040
<v Speaker 2>not need to Jesus Man. Trevor Lawrence mac Jones get

0:01:48.080 --> 0:01:51.720
<v Speaker 2>out of NFL on CBS saw that their Trevor Lawrence

0:01:51.840 --> 0:01:55.280
<v Speaker 2>Daniel Jones tweet did so well, so they doubled down

0:01:55.320 --> 0:01:59.360
<v Speaker 2>with him Daniel Trevor Lawrence mac Jones tweet. So before

0:01:59.400 --> 0:02:01.880
<v Speaker 2>we get to be and Hi, Demanse look great. Love

0:02:01.960 --> 0:02:10.480
<v Speaker 2>the sweater. I I'm not gonna because of the news

0:02:10.600 --> 0:02:13.640
<v Speaker 2>and because of everything, I'm not gonna get into the

0:02:14.200 --> 0:02:17.960
<v Speaker 2>Aaron Rodgers thing today. The Belichick news is more noteworthy.

0:02:18.120 --> 0:02:22.280
<v Speaker 2>And listen, he did exactly what we said last week

0:02:22.320 --> 0:02:25.280
<v Speaker 2>we thought he would do. Who me what? Huh? No?

0:02:25.400 --> 0:02:30.560
<v Speaker 2>Never uh? How could you believe it? And the and

0:02:30.720 --> 0:02:33.400
<v Speaker 2>if you want to hear my full deeper thoughts on that,

0:02:33.840 --> 0:02:37.080
<v Speaker 2>not to promote a different podcast on this podcast, but

0:02:37.200 --> 0:02:40.680
<v Speaker 2>I joined Ethan Strauss last night for an hour on

0:02:40.880 --> 0:02:43.320
<v Speaker 2>his house of Strauss's new YouTube page.

0:02:43.919 --> 0:02:44.160
<v Speaker 3>Uh.

0:02:44.200 --> 0:02:46.760
<v Speaker 2>I know his substack is subscription, but I think the

0:02:46.800 --> 0:02:49.320
<v Speaker 2>YouTube thing is not paywalld. I'm not sure. I'll see

0:02:49.320 --> 0:02:51.520
<v Speaker 2>if Ethan can, if there is a paywall for it,

0:02:51.680 --> 0:02:53.680
<v Speaker 2>if he can take it down for this episode. If

0:02:53.720 --> 0:02:58.560
<v Speaker 2>you want to hear my reaction to Ethan's articles and

0:02:58.800 --> 0:03:00.680
<v Speaker 2>to what Aaron said on two that, you can listen

0:03:00.720 --> 0:03:04.360
<v Speaker 2>to it there. But there's actual sports news to get into.

0:03:04.720 --> 0:03:07.560
<v Speaker 2>So demanse go right ahead.

0:03:08.720 --> 0:03:12.200
<v Speaker 3>All right, breaking news. Legendary head coach Bill Belichick and

0:03:12.240 --> 0:03:14.840
<v Speaker 3>the Patriots look like they are officially split in ways.

0:03:14.960 --> 0:03:16.960
<v Speaker 3>You kind of called it this internet for like the

0:03:17.000 --> 0:03:20.760
<v Speaker 3>last three or four months. What are your instant reactions

0:03:20.800 --> 0:03:23.080
<v Speaker 3>and thoughts on his legacy as a whole.

0:03:24.520 --> 0:03:30.080
<v Speaker 2>Okay, so he's the greatest NFL coach ever, and that's

0:03:30.120 --> 0:03:34.720
<v Speaker 2>almost a universally held opinion. But I think there are

0:03:34.800 --> 0:03:44.200
<v Speaker 2>some really interesting angles here and thought exercises, and that's

0:03:44.240 --> 0:03:45.920
<v Speaker 2>what I want to spend the bulk of this first

0:03:45.920 --> 0:03:46.960
<v Speaker 2>twenty minutes of the show.

0:03:46.960 --> 0:03:47.040
<v Speaker 3>On.

0:03:47.200 --> 0:03:52.080
<v Speaker 2>So I went back this morning after the news broke

0:03:52.880 --> 0:03:57.960
<v Speaker 2>to Belichick's famous grand opening, grand closing press conference. And

0:03:58.000 --> 0:04:00.440
<v Speaker 2>one of the fun thing with the Jets, and one

0:04:00.440 --> 0:04:02.960
<v Speaker 2>of the fun things about doing this show with Demanse,

0:04:03.120 --> 0:04:05.040
<v Speaker 2>and this is not a shot at all at Demanse

0:04:05.640 --> 0:04:09.320
<v Speaker 2>is some of this stuff that people my age know,

0:04:09.680 --> 0:04:15.080
<v Speaker 2>chapter and verse. This happened literally when Demanse was months old.

0:04:15.120 --> 0:04:18.920
<v Speaker 2>And this will be kind of probably breaking news to him.

0:04:19.120 --> 0:04:23.960
<v Speaker 2>But Bill Belichick in nineteen ninety nine was named the

0:04:24.000 --> 0:04:26.919
<v Speaker 2>head coach of the New York Jets, and at what

0:04:27.160 --> 0:04:31.559
<v Speaker 2>was supposed to be his introductory press conference, jotted down

0:04:31.720 --> 0:04:35.719
<v Speaker 2>on a napkin, I resign and his introductory press conference,

0:04:35.760 --> 0:04:38.599
<v Speaker 2>He's like, actually not taking the job. And I went

0:04:38.640 --> 0:04:42.279
<v Speaker 2>back and then, yeah, Demonse knows nothing of this story.

0:04:43.200 --> 0:04:46.320
<v Speaker 2>And the reason I went back and watched it, and

0:04:46.360 --> 0:04:48.880
<v Speaker 2>the Patriots then traded for him to be their head

0:04:48.920 --> 0:04:51.240
<v Speaker 2>coach and they went on. The reason I went back

0:04:51.240 --> 0:04:54.600
<v Speaker 2>and watched it was because that was the last time

0:04:55.200 --> 0:05:02.640
<v Speaker 2>Bill Belichick spoke representing in other than the Patriots. It's

0:05:02.680 --> 0:05:06.560
<v Speaker 2>been a quarter century of him doing these press conferences

0:05:06.880 --> 0:05:10.120
<v Speaker 2>in front of Patriot logos, in front of Patriot stuff

0:05:10.160 --> 0:05:14.919
<v Speaker 2>as a Patriot head coach, and after today's farewell press conference,

0:05:15.360 --> 0:05:20.119
<v Speaker 2>the next time he speaks will be with another team.

0:05:21.240 --> 0:05:25.400
<v Speaker 2>And one part of that jumped out to me, which

0:05:25.520 --> 0:05:30.960
<v Speaker 2>is during that press conference he says, listen, I'm gonna

0:05:31.000 --> 0:05:34.120
<v Speaker 2>take the rest of today to spend time with my family,

0:05:34.640 --> 0:05:39.559
<v Speaker 2>but tomorrow I'll do all the interviews you guys want.

0:05:40.040 --> 0:05:43.039
<v Speaker 2>He's like, if you give me today and don't inundate

0:05:43.080 --> 0:05:45.560
<v Speaker 2>me with it, tomorrow, I'll be as available as you want,

0:05:45.560 --> 0:05:47.120
<v Speaker 2>because I know you're gonna have a lot of questions.

0:05:47.680 --> 0:05:54.360
<v Speaker 2>And he's like, so that means newspaper, TV, radio, and

0:05:54.400 --> 0:05:57.520
<v Speaker 2>then pause for a moment and says internet. And the

0:05:57.600 --> 0:06:04.240
<v Speaker 2>assembled press laughs and they laughed because it's like, oh,

0:06:04.920 --> 0:06:08.880
<v Speaker 2>talking about the Internet. You're gonna do interviews with the Internet.

0:06:09.200 --> 0:06:12.600
<v Speaker 2>And it was such like a silly throwaway thing, and

0:06:12.640 --> 0:06:16.640
<v Speaker 2>I was like, God, dogget man. Belichick's career with the

0:06:16.680 --> 0:06:22.440
<v Speaker 2>Patriots spanned the time to wear the Internet was thought

0:06:22.480 --> 0:06:27.000
<v Speaker 2>of as a throwaway whatever to where we are today.

0:06:27.560 --> 0:06:31.520
<v Speaker 2>The entire growth and breadth and change of the media

0:06:31.720 --> 0:06:36.599
<v Speaker 2>landscape in reference to the Internet happened while Bill Belichick

0:06:36.680 --> 0:06:39.920
<v Speaker 2>coached the Patriots. So that's one hell of a run,

0:06:40.440 --> 0:06:43.760
<v Speaker 2>one hell of a career. And the other thing that

0:06:43.839 --> 0:06:48.440
<v Speaker 2>I thought about today was we have the greatest football

0:06:48.440 --> 0:06:52.719
<v Speaker 2>coach ever in Belichick and one of the best coaches

0:06:52.720 --> 0:06:57.240
<v Speaker 2>of the modern era in Pete Carroll, both being forced

0:06:57.240 --> 0:07:01.200
<v Speaker 2>out essentially from their jobs within twenty four hours of

0:07:01.240 --> 0:07:05.000
<v Speaker 2>each other. And the symmetries are not just that Bill

0:07:05.000 --> 0:07:10.080
<v Speaker 2>Belichick succeeded Pete Carroll in New England. Pete Carroll was

0:07:10.120 --> 0:07:14.440
<v Speaker 2>the last Patriots head coach before Bill Belichick. The symmetries

0:07:14.480 --> 0:07:20.360
<v Speaker 2>are also what allowed those guys to become who they

0:07:20.480 --> 0:07:31.320
<v Speaker 2>were was bold, unprecedented at the time, decisions regarding their quarterbacks.

0:07:32.560 --> 0:07:37.480
<v Speaker 2>So when Bill Belichick took over the New England Patriots,

0:07:38.400 --> 0:07:41.480
<v Speaker 2>Drew Bloodsoe, former number one overall pick who had taken

0:07:41.520 --> 0:07:44.560
<v Speaker 2>the Patriots to a Super Bowl, was their quarterback. Bill

0:07:44.600 --> 0:07:50.200
<v Speaker 2>Belichick had coached the Cleveland Browns intermittent success, but no

0:07:50.360 --> 0:07:55.480
<v Speaker 2>great run been fired there. Coached the Patriots, they were

0:07:55.520 --> 0:08:00.360
<v Speaker 2>a five win team. Bloodsoe got the biggest content, the

0:08:00.360 --> 0:08:04.240
<v Speaker 2>first one hundred million dollar contract in NFL history, and

0:08:04.280 --> 0:08:07.040
<v Speaker 2>then early in the one season Moe Lewis hit on

0:08:07.080 --> 0:08:10.000
<v Speaker 2>the sideline, collapsed as lung and he had to go

0:08:10.040 --> 0:08:14.320
<v Speaker 2>to Brady and then and then Drew Bludsoe was healthy

0:08:15.080 --> 0:08:21.960
<v Speaker 2>month later, and Bill Belichick said sticking with Brady, and

0:08:22.000 --> 0:08:29.000
<v Speaker 2>that decision then was the single biggest domino in the

0:08:29.000 --> 0:08:34.680
<v Speaker 2>next twenty years of a dynasty. Pete Carroll was a

0:08:34.720 --> 0:08:37.360
<v Speaker 2>head coach of the Seattle Seahawks. He had been a

0:08:37.360 --> 0:08:40.760
<v Speaker 2>head coach in New England, had been fired, had not succeeded,

0:08:41.520 --> 0:08:45.160
<v Speaker 2>got the Seahawks job. They went out and signed Matt

0:08:45.200 --> 0:08:50.600
<v Speaker 2>Flynn to a massive off season contract. They drafted Russell

0:08:50.640 --> 0:08:55.439
<v Speaker 2>Wilson in the third round, and Pete Carroll, staying true

0:08:55.480 --> 0:09:00.839
<v Speaker 2>to his mantra of we compete every day at training camp,

0:09:00.920 --> 0:09:05.080
<v Speaker 2>said third round, rookie has the job. He gives us

0:09:05.160 --> 0:09:08.960
<v Speaker 2>the better option. And that then led to that Seahawks'

0:09:09.280 --> 0:09:14.800
<v Speaker 2>mini dynasty or run. And then what happened to Bill

0:09:16.400 --> 0:09:20.400
<v Speaker 2>The marriage with the quarterback fell apart. He didn't have

0:09:20.440 --> 0:09:23.560
<v Speaker 2>the right answers after and it led to his ouster.

0:09:24.200 --> 0:09:27.600
<v Speaker 2>And what happened with Pete The marriage with the quarterback

0:09:27.640 --> 0:09:31.320
<v Speaker 2>fell apart. He didn't have the right answers and it

0:09:31.400 --> 0:09:37.080
<v Speaker 2>led to his ouster. And I find the symmetry of

0:09:37.160 --> 0:09:42.040
<v Speaker 2>those things very interesting because it is such a.

0:09:41.920 --> 0:09:48.560
<v Speaker 3>Good Are you in any way coaches?

0:09:49.679 --> 0:09:52.080
<v Speaker 2>No, So that's not what I'm saying. I know some

0:09:52.120 --> 0:10:00.080
<v Speaker 2>people will say that what I'm saying is this, but

0:10:00.640 --> 0:10:07.720
<v Speaker 2>allowed Belichick to be Belichick was courage in his convictions.

0:10:08.440 --> 0:10:12.200
<v Speaker 2>I do not care what the outside world believes. I

0:10:12.400 --> 0:10:16.520
<v Speaker 2>think this is the right choice. It might frustrate my bosses,

0:10:17.160 --> 0:10:20.840
<v Speaker 2>it might be unpopular, but I Am going to stay

0:10:20.960 --> 0:10:26.720
<v Speaker 2>true to what I believe is best and plow ahead.

0:10:27.679 --> 0:10:32.200
<v Speaker 2>That was the key moment for he and Carol when

0:10:32.320 --> 0:10:35.520
<v Speaker 2>at that moment in time when Carol went to Wilson,

0:10:35.800 --> 0:10:39.120
<v Speaker 2>when Bill stuck with Tom Brady, not only were they

0:10:39.160 --> 0:10:42.040
<v Speaker 2>not Hall of Fame coaches, not only were they not champions,

0:10:42.440 --> 0:10:45.920
<v Speaker 2>they had not succeeded. They had both been fired at

0:10:45.960 --> 0:10:49.840
<v Speaker 2>their first job. They both had intermittent at best results

0:10:49.880 --> 0:10:53.160
<v Speaker 2>at this job, and they were probably on their last

0:10:53.200 --> 0:10:57.480
<v Speaker 2>opportunities to be head coaches in the NFL. And they said,

0:10:57.760 --> 0:11:02.280
<v Speaker 2>bleep it, I'm doing what not the easy thing, the

0:11:02.480 --> 0:11:05.680
<v Speaker 2>tough thing. Everyone expects me to go with the quarterback

0:11:05.760 --> 0:11:08.200
<v Speaker 2>we signed to the massive deal. No one expects me

0:11:08.280 --> 0:11:10.480
<v Speaker 2>to go with the unproven rookie or first year or

0:11:10.480 --> 0:11:13.600
<v Speaker 2>second year guy, and Brady I believe in it. That's

0:11:13.679 --> 0:11:22.720
<v Speaker 2>what opened the door to having success available what made

0:11:23.840 --> 0:11:26.600
<v Speaker 2>so that is a lesson for everybody. It's a lesson

0:11:26.640 --> 0:11:31.800
<v Speaker 2>for everyone that if you really believe in something, go

0:11:31.920 --> 0:11:37.200
<v Speaker 2>with it, trust your instincts and sink or swim on that.

0:11:37.840 --> 0:11:41.520
<v Speaker 2>Don't fail because you didn't go with what you believed in.

0:11:42.280 --> 0:11:45.080
<v Speaker 2>But the second lesson is this, no matter how great

0:11:45.120 --> 0:11:50.479
<v Speaker 2>you are, man, it takes help. Everything in life is collaborative.

0:11:51.080 --> 0:11:55.880
<v Speaker 2>Everything in life you are going to succeed more if

0:11:55.920 --> 0:12:01.559
<v Speaker 2>you have a great partner, if you have a great

0:12:01.840 --> 0:12:05.200
<v Speaker 2>either number two or one A or whatever it is.

0:12:06.679 --> 0:12:09.440
<v Speaker 2>And the last and that's so the I'm not saying

0:12:09.480 --> 0:12:13.480
<v Speaker 2>Brady made Belichick or Belichick made Brady. I truly believe

0:12:13.559 --> 0:12:17.360
<v Speaker 2>they made each other. That they are the sum is

0:12:17.400 --> 0:12:20.800
<v Speaker 2>greater than the individual parts one hundred percent. And then

0:12:20.880 --> 0:12:24.680
<v Speaker 2>the last lesson for both of these guys is when

0:12:24.720 --> 0:12:32.080
<v Speaker 2>you have that success, don't let ego and both be

0:12:32.200 --> 0:12:36.800
<v Speaker 2>the reason it ends earlier than it's supposed to. And

0:12:37.600 --> 0:12:39.920
<v Speaker 2>I think with Pete, Carroll and Russ it was more

0:12:40.000 --> 0:12:44.120
<v Speaker 2>Russ's Eagles egos than Pete. I think with Tom and

0:12:44.240 --> 0:12:47.320
<v Speaker 2>Bill it was more Bill's ego than Tom. But the

0:12:47.360 --> 0:12:50.320
<v Speaker 2>fact of the matter is, and even though Tom winn

0:12:50.360 --> 0:12:55.120
<v Speaker 2>and won that Super Bowl, it didn't this. It was

0:12:55.160 --> 0:13:00.760
<v Speaker 2>not the ending anybody exactly wanted. And for Bill it

0:13:00.880 --> 0:13:04.280
<v Speaker 2>ended up being the end of his run. For Pete

0:13:04.360 --> 0:13:09.640
<v Speaker 2>it being the end of his run. And so there

0:13:09.640 --> 0:13:10.800
<v Speaker 2>are go.

0:13:10.640 --> 0:13:14.600
<v Speaker 3>Ahead, you're saying that they're done.

0:13:15.160 --> 0:13:22.520
<v Speaker 2>They're done with those teams exactly, Yeah, and so, and

0:13:22.559 --> 0:13:24.680
<v Speaker 2>we'll talk about where Bill could go in a moment,

0:13:25.080 --> 0:13:31.079
<v Speaker 2>but it is those are all real big macro life stuff, right.

0:13:31.960 --> 0:13:38.040
<v Speaker 2>And Belichick's career, if you're a football fan, spans so much.

0:13:38.160 --> 0:13:38.400
<v Speaker 3>Man.

0:13:39.800 --> 0:13:42.640
<v Speaker 2>He figured out as a defensive coordinator how to slow

0:13:42.720 --> 0:13:46.000
<v Speaker 2>down the best offense of an era when he was

0:13:46.040 --> 0:13:48.880
<v Speaker 2>with the Giants and shut down the Bills in that

0:13:48.960 --> 0:13:52.160
<v Speaker 2>Super Bowl the Giants had no business winning. He figured

0:13:52.200 --> 0:13:56.720
<v Speaker 2>out defensively how to slow down the greatest show on turf,

0:13:57.400 --> 0:14:02.080
<v Speaker 2>how to slow down mcveigh's rams, how to slow down

0:14:02.440 --> 0:14:07.079
<v Speaker 2>Andy Reid Mahomes Chiefs. He figured these things out defensively

0:14:07.200 --> 0:14:12.520
<v Speaker 2>unlike anybody we've ever seen. And then offensively, how many

0:14:12.559 --> 0:14:17.880
<v Speaker 2>reinventions did they have? The we're gonna be a run

0:14:17.960 --> 0:14:23.200
<v Speaker 2>oriented quarterback don't make mistakes, lean on the defense team.

0:14:23.520 --> 0:14:27.080
<v Speaker 2>In the early two thousands, we are going to have

0:14:27.120 --> 0:14:30.400
<v Speaker 2>the highest scoring, highest flying offense in the history of

0:14:30.440 --> 0:14:33.960
<v Speaker 2>football with Randy Moss. In the late two thousand oughts,

0:14:34.960 --> 0:14:40.040
<v Speaker 2>we are going to use the numbers against the defense

0:14:40.720 --> 0:14:45.200
<v Speaker 2>by having two dual threat tight ends like no team

0:14:45.240 --> 0:14:48.600
<v Speaker 2>has ever had. In the early twenty tens, with Gronk

0:14:48.720 --> 0:14:56.760
<v Speaker 2>and Hernandez, we are going to make the slot receiver

0:14:58.440 --> 0:15:04.160
<v Speaker 2>a deadly weapon in way nobody has. With Welker Edelman

0:15:04.360 --> 0:15:10.960
<v Speaker 2>a mindola finding new ways, finding different things. When the

0:15:11.000 --> 0:15:14.160
<v Speaker 2>rest of the world is zigging or zagging, we are

0:15:14.200 --> 0:15:17.120
<v Speaker 2>going not necessarily going to zig, but we are going

0:15:17.200 --> 0:15:24.080
<v Speaker 2>to figure out what opportunities their zags allow for. Oh,

0:15:24.320 --> 0:15:29.400
<v Speaker 2>everyone's worried about the pass, so they are putting more small,

0:15:29.600 --> 0:15:33.840
<v Speaker 2>fast people on the field instead of trying to out

0:15:33.880 --> 0:15:38.720
<v Speaker 2>small out fast them. Should we Maybe then we'll be

0:15:38.840 --> 0:15:41.880
<v Speaker 2>the team that has more big people on the field

0:15:42.440 --> 0:15:45.360
<v Speaker 2>and we'll try to beat them up. It's just a

0:15:45.600 --> 0:15:55.880
<v Speaker 2>brilliant career that kind of had a snding because yet

0:15:56.200 --> 0:15:59.200
<v Speaker 2>didn't make it work at the end with your partner.

0:15:59.520 --> 0:16:03.080
<v Speaker 2>And that, by the way, is the story of basically

0:16:03.280 --> 0:16:07.040
<v Speaker 2>every band that's ever existed at a high level. It's

0:16:07.120 --> 0:16:12.760
<v Speaker 2>the story of so many television shows in MySpace where

0:16:12.800 --> 0:16:16.360
<v Speaker 2>it's like, man, you guys had a great thing. What happened? Well,

0:16:17.560 --> 0:16:21.480
<v Speaker 2>who gets the credit, who gets the most money, who

0:16:21.480 --> 0:16:22.960
<v Speaker 2>gets to be on the front of the poster or

0:16:23.000 --> 0:16:28.320
<v Speaker 2>all those things. That's what happens. And no matter how

0:16:28.440 --> 0:16:31.840
<v Speaker 2>great you are, and maybe the greater you are, you

0:16:31.840 --> 0:16:34.720
<v Speaker 2>can fall prey to it. Now, I will say this,

0:16:36.360 --> 0:16:44.640
<v Speaker 2>there is not You cannot write the Belichick story without

0:16:44.840 --> 0:16:52.400
<v Speaker 2>acknowledging that the cheating scandals are a real piece of it.

0:16:53.400 --> 0:16:59.440
<v Speaker 2>They just are, and it's not the biggest piece of it.

0:17:00.640 --> 0:17:07.080
<v Speaker 2>But Belichick being more than slapped on the wrist multiple

0:17:07.200 --> 0:17:13.000
<v Speaker 2>times throughout his career in New England is part of

0:17:13.040 --> 0:17:17.320
<v Speaker 2>his legacy. Is it enough to knock him out of

0:17:17.359 --> 0:17:18.960
<v Speaker 2>the goat conversation? No?

0:17:18.960 --> 0:17:23.800
<v Speaker 3>No, he cheated multiple times. Well I knew about this.

0:17:26.200 --> 0:17:32.520
<v Speaker 2>So spygate was the real one beforehand. Spygate of surreptitiously

0:17:32.640 --> 0:17:38.000
<v Speaker 2>recording your opponent, and that got him twice. That got

0:17:38.080 --> 0:17:42.399
<v Speaker 2>him once early in the run, and then happened again

0:17:43.280 --> 0:17:46.320
<v Speaker 2>late in the run. Recently, when he was taping the

0:17:46.359 --> 0:17:49.679
<v Speaker 2>Bengals reportedly, and they got in trouble for it. The

0:17:49.800 --> 0:17:53.360
<v Speaker 2>flight gate got laid at the feet of Brady. Then

0:17:53.400 --> 0:17:57.800
<v Speaker 2>there was also a bunch of other hm, it doesn't

0:17:57.880 --> 0:18:02.720
<v Speaker 2>feel right, which was the always saying their coach to

0:18:02.880 --> 0:18:08.679
<v Speaker 2>quarterback communication system would go out randomly, but at the

0:18:08.880 --> 0:18:11.639
<v Speaker 2>key moments of football games, when they were playing in

0:18:11.720 --> 0:18:15.560
<v Speaker 2>Gillette and stuff that that. Now that's a different bucket.

0:18:15.600 --> 0:18:19.720
<v Speaker 2>That's more speculation then we can prove it. But it

0:18:19.840 --> 0:18:22.840
<v Speaker 2>was just enough there where you're like, hmmm, so that's

0:18:22.880 --> 0:18:25.879
<v Speaker 2>a piece of it. And if we're gonna be fair

0:18:25.960 --> 0:18:29.120
<v Speaker 2>to a guy, if a guy dies, you're not really

0:18:29.119 --> 0:18:31.200
<v Speaker 2>supposed to talk about this stuff unless the guy was

0:18:31.240 --> 0:18:34.600
<v Speaker 2>just like an evil bad guy. The day after retiring

0:18:34.800 --> 0:18:37.720
<v Speaker 2>or stepping away from a team's different. He's not dead,

0:18:37.720 --> 0:18:39.640
<v Speaker 2>he's gonna go get another job. And we can tell

0:18:39.680 --> 0:18:44.359
<v Speaker 2>the full true on a story of it. And so

0:18:44.520 --> 0:18:47.600
<v Speaker 2>that combined with the fact that at the end the

0:18:47.600 --> 0:18:51.280
<v Speaker 2>modern offense seemed to pass him by and at the

0:18:51.480 --> 0:18:55.240
<v Speaker 2>end he seemed to only want to hire his sons

0:18:55.320 --> 0:19:00.719
<v Speaker 2>or friends, that is a piece of the legacy. And

0:19:01.000 --> 0:19:10.840
<v Speaker 2>if and when someone were to approach his h his success,

0:19:12.119 --> 0:19:17.560
<v Speaker 2>then can that be a goat tiebreaker. Sure, yeah, if

0:19:17.600 --> 0:19:24.399
<v Speaker 2>the if, for instance, Andy Reid wins this year's Super

0:19:24.440 --> 0:19:29.480
<v Speaker 2>Bowl and another one in two years, and then it's like, Okay,

0:19:29.960 --> 0:19:34.200
<v Speaker 2>he's Belichick's first or right now second in all time wins,

0:19:34.200 --> 0:19:40.360
<v Speaker 2>but Read is fourth. Belichick went to nine one six. Andy,

0:19:40.480 --> 0:19:43.159
<v Speaker 2>by the math that I'm doing right there would be

0:19:43.600 --> 0:19:48.280
<v Speaker 2>went to six one four, but did it without ever

0:19:48.400 --> 0:19:53.359
<v Speaker 2>losing draft picks for cheating and had high levels of

0:19:53.400 --> 0:19:59.679
<v Speaker 2>success with non Hall of Fame quarterbacks and then a

0:20:00.040 --> 0:20:03.040
<v Speaker 2>dynasty with a Hall of Fame quarterback. Then that can

0:20:03.080 --> 0:20:07.199
<v Speaker 2>be part of the discussion. But right now he's so

0:20:07.520 --> 0:20:12.360
<v Speaker 2>far far past the field in the coach goat stuff

0:20:12.960 --> 0:20:15.920
<v Speaker 2>that this stuff is not enough to drag him down.

0:20:16.320 --> 0:20:19.159
<v Speaker 2>But it is part of the story, and it is

0:20:19.200 --> 0:20:26.960
<v Speaker 2>a fascinating career. It is a one of a kind career,

0:20:28.240 --> 0:20:36.320
<v Speaker 2>and it all started with him believing in himself. I

0:20:36.440 --> 0:20:43.200
<v Speaker 2>believe this is right, and I am willing to expend

0:20:43.280 --> 0:20:46.159
<v Speaker 2>real capital with my boss, with the fans, with the

0:20:46.240 --> 0:20:51.360
<v Speaker 2>media because I think on the other side it will

0:20:51.400 --> 0:20:55.119
<v Speaker 2>be the right decision and I have massive respect for that.

0:20:56.400 --> 0:21:00.560
<v Speaker 2>And then at the end, ego and stuff gets in

0:21:00.600 --> 0:21:03.320
<v Speaker 2>the way a bit and It's not that I disrespect

0:21:03.320 --> 0:21:05.200
<v Speaker 2>for that, but it is a good lesson for all

0:21:05.240 --> 0:21:08.400
<v Speaker 2>of us that And you know, if you guys think

0:21:08.400 --> 0:21:11.080
<v Speaker 2>I'm talking about my personal or professional life, I of

0:21:11.080 --> 0:21:15.280
<v Speaker 2>course am. I am worried than the next couple of years, Demons,

0:21:15.640 --> 0:21:18.199
<v Speaker 2>The more and more he gets recognized at you know,

0:21:18.440 --> 0:21:20.640
<v Speaker 2>at Equinox and things like that, is going to come

0:21:20.680 --> 0:21:23.000
<v Speaker 2>to me and be like, listen, man, I need a

0:21:23.000 --> 0:21:25.480
<v Speaker 2>bigger title on the podcast and more money or I'm

0:21:25.480 --> 0:21:30.520
<v Speaker 2>breaking this thing up. And so I just there. I mean, yeah,

0:21:30.560 --> 0:21:32.560
<v Speaker 2>So if you're thinking that I am you know what

0:21:32.600 --> 0:21:36.720
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I'm projecting a bit. Yeah, maybe I am?

0:21:36.800 --> 0:21:39.680
<v Speaker 2>All right, So demonse, what are the follow up questions here?

0:21:40.440 --> 0:21:43.560
<v Speaker 3>Yeah? So with everything being said, uh, do you think

0:21:43.640 --> 0:21:46.760
<v Speaker 3>with him, with Belichick and Pete Carroll being the two

0:21:46.840 --> 0:21:48.880
<v Speaker 3>oldest coaches in the NFL, don't you think it's more

0:21:49.040 --> 0:21:51.960
<v Speaker 3>likely that they walk away then come back and continue

0:21:51.960 --> 0:21:52.639
<v Speaker 3>to coach.

0:21:54.119 --> 0:22:00.760
<v Speaker 2>Pete Carroll? Yes, Belichick. No, Belichick wants Shula's record and

0:22:01.280 --> 0:22:06.840
<v Speaker 2>he needs, you know, fifteen wins for the record, and

0:22:06.920 --> 0:22:13.160
<v Speaker 2>so no, I do not think he's walking away, which

0:22:13.200 --> 0:22:18.080
<v Speaker 2>then leads us to where should he go? Right? Right?

0:22:18.400 --> 0:22:23.840
<v Speaker 2>And my answer to that question is, I think wherever

0:22:23.880 --> 0:22:27.960
<v Speaker 2>he's going, the job is not open yet. Some of

0:22:27.960 --> 0:22:31.000
<v Speaker 2>these playoff teams are gonna fire their coach. They just

0:22:31.080 --> 0:22:32.440
<v Speaker 2>are happened.

0:22:32.359 --> 0:22:35.159
<v Speaker 3>Every year McCarthy after Jordan Love goes out there and

0:22:35.160 --> 0:22:35.919
<v Speaker 3>slings it on him.

0:22:37.760 --> 0:22:43.240
<v Speaker 2>So if the Cowboys lose this weekend, yes, that is

0:22:43.240 --> 0:22:47.080
<v Speaker 2>where Belichick should go. McCarthy will be fired for that,

0:22:47.840 --> 0:22:51.600
<v Speaker 2>and that is the perfect spot. We've talked about this

0:22:51.680 --> 0:22:54.800
<v Speaker 2>on a month on the podcast ever since Nora Princiatti

0:22:54.840 --> 0:22:57.120
<v Speaker 2>first brought it up on The Ringer, And people might

0:22:57.160 --> 0:23:00.000
<v Speaker 2>wonder why I keep referencing that. I think it's important

0:23:00.400 --> 0:23:04.919
<v Speaker 2>in our business. If somebody says something that is way

0:23:04.960 --> 0:23:08.400
<v Speaker 2>out of left field and then all of a sudden

0:23:08.880 --> 0:23:11.399
<v Speaker 2>and they're the only one saying it, and then all

0:23:11.480 --> 0:23:14.959
<v Speaker 2>of a sudden it starts to gain momentum wherever it is.

0:23:15.520 --> 0:23:18.920
<v Speaker 2>I think they deserve, if you know, credit for being

0:23:18.960 --> 0:23:21.960
<v Speaker 2>the first person to throw it out there. Nobody was

0:23:22.000 --> 0:23:25.719
<v Speaker 2>talking about that. She mentioned it a month ago, and

0:23:25.760 --> 0:23:30.120
<v Speaker 2>it's nestled inside my brain is like, Oh, that's fascinating.

0:23:31.000 --> 0:23:33.480
<v Speaker 2>You have the talent, you have the quarterback, you have

0:23:33.600 --> 0:23:37.560
<v Speaker 2>the offensive weapons, you have all this other talent on defense.

0:23:38.119 --> 0:23:40.960
<v Speaker 2>You could get that record in two years and you

0:23:41.000 --> 0:23:43.960
<v Speaker 2>could maybe win a Super Bowl and be like, ah,

0:23:44.040 --> 0:23:47.120
<v Speaker 2>could Bill work for Jerry A It wouldn't be long

0:23:47.200 --> 0:23:51.960
<v Speaker 2>term be his mentor. Bill Parcells worked for Jerry and

0:23:52.000 --> 0:23:55.520
<v Speaker 2>so yeah. And by the way, that's another one when

0:23:55.520 --> 0:23:58.360
<v Speaker 2>I'm talking about you collaborate, you come together, it's great.

0:23:58.400 --> 0:24:01.240
<v Speaker 2>Then egos get in the way. Jerry Jones and Jimmy

0:24:01.280 --> 0:24:05.879
<v Speaker 2>Johnson they won two super Bowls, were amazing, it was great,

0:24:06.000 --> 0:24:09.879
<v Speaker 2>and then egos and everything it blows up. I mean,

0:24:09.880 --> 0:24:11.919
<v Speaker 2>it's a story of a lot of a lot of teams,

0:24:11.960 --> 0:24:14.560
<v Speaker 2>a lot of a lot of there's a lot of

0:24:14.760 --> 0:24:19.680
<v Speaker 2>examples of that. I don't think though, that the Cowboys

0:24:19.720 --> 0:24:24.560
<v Speaker 2>are gonna lose in round one. I'm not certain that

0:24:24.920 --> 0:24:28.440
<v Speaker 2>McCarthy would get fired for losing in round two. I'm

0:24:28.480 --> 0:24:31.840
<v Speaker 2>pretty damn confident he wouldn't get fired for losing in

0:24:31.920 --> 0:24:36.040
<v Speaker 2>round three. But that is the job Bill should hold

0:24:36.080 --> 0:24:39.120
<v Speaker 2>out hope for. Do you know what I'm gonna say?

0:24:39.160 --> 0:24:40.600
<v Speaker 2>The other one is a team.

0:24:41.480 --> 0:24:43.879
<v Speaker 3>I know exactly what you're gonna say, and it's completely

0:24:45.800 --> 0:24:49.120
<v Speaker 3>you're gonna You're gonna say, You're gonna yes, Hey, you're

0:24:49.119 --> 0:24:52.119
<v Speaker 3>gonna say Philly in Sirianni.

0:24:55.200 --> 0:25:00.399
<v Speaker 2>I am, and it's not fueled by hate. It is

0:25:01.720 --> 0:25:11.840
<v Speaker 2>the to me totally sober logical analysis of I am

0:25:11.840 --> 0:25:14.960
<v Speaker 2>not saying Sirianni should be fired if they lose to

0:25:15.040 --> 0:25:20.920
<v Speaker 2>Baker in round one. I am saying this, if Bill

0:25:20.960 --> 0:25:29.520
<v Speaker 2>Belichick would take the job, you fight flatly, flatly and

0:25:30.440 --> 0:25:33.440
<v Speaker 2>for Eagle, and I don't even think Egle fans.

0:25:33.240 --> 0:25:36.119
<v Speaker 3>Would you would you say the same? Wait? Wouldn't you

0:25:36.160 --> 0:25:41.760
<v Speaker 3>say the same thing about McCarthy? Hey, even if they

0:25:41.800 --> 0:25:45.760
<v Speaker 3>win in round one, round two, gets fired at what's

0:25:45.800 --> 0:25:46.200
<v Speaker 3>the job?

0:25:49.040 --> 0:25:52.600
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, if McCarthy loses at home in round one or two, yes,

0:25:53.520 --> 0:25:55.919
<v Speaker 2>I don't think you. I think it's a weird look

0:25:56.320 --> 0:25:59.360
<v Speaker 2>to fire him. If he makes the first conference championship

0:25:59.359 --> 0:26:01.840
<v Speaker 2>game the teams made in almost thirty years, you know

0:26:01.880 --> 0:26:03.640
<v Speaker 2>what I mean? Or if they make the super Bowl,

0:26:03.680 --> 0:26:07.359
<v Speaker 2>you can't fire him. But yeah, but the distinction between

0:26:07.440 --> 0:26:12.240
<v Speaker 2>McCarthy and Sirianni or Bellichick, McCarthy, Sirianni and Belichick is this,

0:26:12.800 --> 0:26:18.240
<v Speaker 2>Let's just say Belichick's already out. Let's say Sirianni were

0:26:18.280 --> 0:26:24.200
<v Speaker 2>fired today, McCarthy were fired today. Belichick is a definitively

0:26:24.280 --> 0:26:29.560
<v Speaker 2>getting a job as a head coach somewhere. McCarthy is

0:26:29.720 --> 0:26:33.480
<v Speaker 2>probably getting a job as a head coach three straight

0:26:33.520 --> 0:26:37.120
<v Speaker 2>twelve win seasons. If Nick Sirianni gets fired, what job

0:26:37.160 --> 0:26:40.119
<v Speaker 2>is he being offered? Just tell me it's not a

0:26:40.119 --> 0:26:46.960
<v Speaker 2>head coaching job, I promise. And no, No, it's just

0:26:48.119 --> 0:26:52.679
<v Speaker 2>and so maybe an offensive coordinator. The Panthers don't have

0:26:52.720 --> 0:26:56.119
<v Speaker 2>their new head coach. They don't have one yet. They

0:26:56.160 --> 0:26:58.880
<v Speaker 2>have the interim coach. Am I tripping? What?

0:26:59.080 --> 0:27:03.280
<v Speaker 3>Yeah? I think you're probably You're probably right. The Panthers,

0:27:03.280 --> 0:27:05.240
<v Speaker 3>I'm sure, would like their jobs at Nick Sirianni.

0:27:06.240 --> 0:27:09.320
<v Speaker 2>No, they would not. Okay, he's not gonna if you

0:27:09.359 --> 0:27:11.480
<v Speaker 2>were fired, he's not gonna his next jobs. I'm gonna

0:27:11.480 --> 0:27:13.280
<v Speaker 2>be a head coach. I'm just telling you.

0:27:14.840 --> 0:27:14.959
<v Speaker 3>So.

0:27:15.160 --> 0:27:18.119
<v Speaker 2>If I were Belichick, I would wait and see what

0:27:18.240 --> 0:27:23.000
<v Speaker 2>happens in those spots. Uh the other playoff? Now, I'll

0:27:23.040 --> 0:27:27.320
<v Speaker 2>give you one more that. Bruce Ard mentioned that if

0:27:27.320 --> 0:27:33.520
<v Speaker 2>I were Belichick, I would be interested in what if

0:27:34.080 --> 0:27:37.840
<v Speaker 2>the Steelers beat Buffalo? Are we one hundred percent certain

0:27:37.880 --> 0:27:43.160
<v Speaker 2>Sean McDermott's safe one if Buffalo loses his ten point

0:27:43.160 --> 0:27:47.240
<v Speaker 2>favorite at home to Mason Rudolph after having to fight

0:27:47.240 --> 0:27:50.000
<v Speaker 2>and claude to get into the playoffs. I'm not so

0:27:50.080 --> 0:27:52.280
<v Speaker 2>if this is like if I'm Belichick, I am waiting

0:27:52.320 --> 0:27:54.960
<v Speaker 2>and seeing because some of these jobs are going to

0:27:55.000 --> 0:28:00.040
<v Speaker 2>be open. They just are, and so I would I

0:28:00.080 --> 0:28:03.560
<v Speaker 2>would be very I would not go to Atlanta or Washington.

0:28:04.040 --> 0:28:07.240
<v Speaker 2>I just wouldn't. Now, I'd love to go to Chicago,

0:28:07.400 --> 0:28:12.000
<v Speaker 2>but Chicago's keeping eber Flus for reasons I don't understand.

0:28:12.520 --> 0:28:15.280
<v Speaker 2>All right, So go ahead, you.

0:28:17.080 --> 0:28:18.840
<v Speaker 3>Do you think the Pats are gonna get anything in

0:28:18.880 --> 0:28:22.879
<v Speaker 3>return for Belichick? Like, how does that eat work? Okay?

0:28:22.960 --> 0:28:24.800
<v Speaker 2>No, So if they were to try to trade him,

0:28:24.840 --> 0:28:27.200
<v Speaker 2>they could, but that's not what's happening here. So they

0:28:27.200 --> 0:28:30.720
<v Speaker 2>are gonna have to start over. And everybody thinks they're

0:28:30.720 --> 0:28:34.240
<v Speaker 2>gonna get Verbel. If I'm Verbel, I don't want that job.

0:28:35.520 --> 0:28:37.760
<v Speaker 2>I understand there's history there. He won the Super Bowls there.

0:28:37.760 --> 0:28:41.320
<v Speaker 2>I get all that. That team stinks, that team stinks

0:28:41.680 --> 0:28:46.280
<v Speaker 2>is in it. And here's the thing about looking at divisions.

0:28:46.960 --> 0:28:50.280
<v Speaker 2>If I'm looking for a head coaching job, I don't

0:28:50.480 --> 0:28:54.280
<v Speaker 2>need to be in a division like the NFC South,

0:28:54.560 --> 0:28:59.520
<v Speaker 2>where there's not any great team but I don't want

0:28:59.520 --> 0:29:04.720
<v Speaker 2>to be in a division where there's clearly two. So

0:29:04.920 --> 0:29:08.240
<v Speaker 2>like the AFC West is not those are not. The

0:29:08.320 --> 0:29:10.760
<v Speaker 2>Chargers job is not a bad job. People are like, ah,

0:29:10.800 --> 0:29:14.760
<v Speaker 2>you gotta compete with Mahomes. Yeah, but you that's the

0:29:14.800 --> 0:29:17.760
<v Speaker 2>only one in the division you gotta compete with. So

0:29:18.040 --> 0:29:20.680
<v Speaker 2>I would be more nervous about, like going to the

0:29:20.840 --> 0:29:24.880
<v Speaker 2>NFC West right is take Seattle's job, Like, God, dog it,

0:29:25.240 --> 0:29:29.719
<v Speaker 2>I gotta compete with Shanahan and McVeigh. I gotta compete

0:29:29.720 --> 0:29:33.960
<v Speaker 2>with the Niners and AFC East. You feel like, gosh darning,

0:29:34.040 --> 0:29:37.600
<v Speaker 2>I gotta compete with the Bills and the Dolphins. That's

0:29:37.640 --> 0:29:40.120
<v Speaker 2>a tough you know, for whoever comes into New England

0:29:40.280 --> 0:29:42.440
<v Speaker 2>the AFC North, you feel like you gotta compete with

0:29:42.600 --> 0:29:47.680
<v Speaker 2>four teams and so uh, if you're brable, I wouldn't

0:29:47.680 --> 0:29:51.760
<v Speaker 2>want that gig. And here is the other interesting thing.

0:29:53.320 --> 0:29:56.920
<v Speaker 2>Did Robert Kraft just make the same mistake with head

0:29:56.960 --> 0:30:03.000
<v Speaker 2>coach that Bill Belichick made withquarterback? I moved on from

0:30:03.040 --> 0:30:06.080
<v Speaker 2>the goat without having a clear plan on how I'm

0:30:06.120 --> 0:30:09.840
<v Speaker 2>replacing it. It's on the board. Let's see if they

0:30:09.880 --> 0:30:12.640
<v Speaker 2>get fable. And I know Drod Mao's there. We'll see

0:30:12.680 --> 0:30:14.720
<v Speaker 2>if that were to work, he'd be a rookie head coach.

0:30:15.160 --> 0:30:24.720
<v Speaker 2>I do know this that the Patriots are now the

0:30:24.840 --> 0:30:30.840
<v Speaker 2>Tennessee Titans in the sports talk world. The Patriots are

0:30:30.920 --> 0:30:41.719
<v Speaker 2>now the let me find another, the Atlanta Falcons. They're

0:30:41.760 --> 0:30:46.880
<v Speaker 2>just not on the list of relevant teams there. They

0:30:46.920 --> 0:30:50.440
<v Speaker 2>are a team that used to be great but now

0:30:50.520 --> 0:30:54.720
<v Speaker 2>has no star power and doesn't have the coach, which

0:30:54.800 --> 0:30:58.080
<v Speaker 2>was the reason we cared about them, Like they are

0:30:58.600 --> 0:31:03.520
<v Speaker 2>out in the willed feness of just the others. And

0:31:03.600 --> 0:31:07.600
<v Speaker 2>I don't know again, like that shouldn't impact craft or

0:31:07.640 --> 0:31:11.400
<v Speaker 2>any of that, But I'm talking about from a list

0:31:11.480 --> 0:31:15.200
<v Speaker 2>of teams that it's like, oh man, they're talked about

0:31:15.200 --> 0:31:19.200
<v Speaker 2>on shows like mine all the time. The Patriots are

0:31:19.280 --> 0:31:23.840
<v Speaker 2>now at the bottom of the list. They are as

0:31:25.040 --> 0:31:28.560
<v Speaker 2>irrelevant of a team as there is now. We'll see

0:31:28.560 --> 0:31:30.320
<v Speaker 2>if they draft the right quarterbacks, see if they get

0:31:30.360 --> 0:31:32.720
<v Speaker 2>the right coach, But for the time being, that's where

0:31:32.720 --> 0:31:38.560
<v Speaker 2>they're at. Okay, So that's where you know. I think

0:31:38.600 --> 0:31:42.000
<v Speaker 2>that was really good. Thirty minutes on Belichick on life

0:31:42.480 --> 0:31:45.080
<v Speaker 2>on Demonsday's ego one day being the downfall of the

0:31:45.120 --> 0:31:49.760
<v Speaker 2>What's Right podcast. Uh, we have a gambling show. Thank you.

0:33:41.160 --> 0:33:44.400
<v Speaker 2>a couple final Belichick points that I forgot to bring up.

0:33:45.320 --> 0:33:47.440
<v Speaker 2>Demon's one of your follow ups. You were gonna ask,

0:33:47.560 --> 0:33:50.680
<v Speaker 2>was am I worried about Andy Reid? Then you know

0:33:50.720 --> 0:33:54.920
<v Speaker 2>the older coaches are retiring, so Andy Reid I do

0:33:55.000 --> 0:33:59.440
<v Speaker 2>not believe is retiring anytime soon. Florio keeps throwing out

0:33:59.480 --> 0:34:04.800
<v Speaker 2>there Reid retire after this season. That's another place that

0:34:04.880 --> 0:34:09.160
<v Speaker 2>if I were Bill, I'd want to wait and see, like, Okay,

0:34:09.239 --> 0:34:11.840
<v Speaker 2>maybe it's not. I don't see it at all, but

0:34:11.880 --> 0:34:14.520
<v Speaker 2>I'm saying it's out there. I don't see it at all.

0:34:14.680 --> 0:34:17.200
<v Speaker 2>But yeah, if you're Belichick and you're like, yeah, i'll

0:34:17.239 --> 0:34:21.120
<v Speaker 2>go coach Patrick Mahomes offense, pretty well, I'll go the

0:34:21.680 --> 0:34:24.960
<v Speaker 2>And then here's the other thing. Is Gabe here, our

0:34:25.080 --> 0:34:30.200
<v Speaker 2>resident Jets fan Patriot hater who today he's so happy about.

0:34:30.360 --> 0:34:33.000
<v Speaker 2>And I'm not trying to bring Gabe down, but I

0:34:33.080 --> 0:34:38.200
<v Speaker 2>do want some context here. So Bill Belichick in the

0:34:38.280 --> 0:34:42.600
<v Speaker 2>last three years went, I want to make sure I

0:34:42.680 --> 0:34:45.640
<v Speaker 2>have this math, right, Yeah, I do. He went twenty

0:34:45.719 --> 0:34:51.279
<v Speaker 2>two and twenty nine, Is that right? Yeah, twenty two

0:34:51.320 --> 0:34:57.320
<v Speaker 2>and twenty nine, with one playoff appearance, and the Patriots said, Nope,

0:34:57.719 --> 0:35:00.920
<v Speaker 2>don't care that you've won six Super Bowls. That's not

0:35:01.040 --> 0:35:05.760
<v Speaker 2>good enough. You're out here. Mike Vrabel, who just got fired.

0:35:06.280 --> 0:35:11.120
<v Speaker 2>In the last three years, Mike Vrabel went nineteen twenty five,

0:35:11.600 --> 0:35:16.239
<v Speaker 2>went twenty five and twenty six with one playoff appearance,

0:35:17.200 --> 0:35:21.040
<v Speaker 2>and the Tennessee Titans said, don't care, you've been to

0:35:21.080 --> 0:35:24.120
<v Speaker 2>a conference championship game. Don't care we traded away our

0:35:24.160 --> 0:35:28.879
<v Speaker 2>best player. You're out here, Pete Carroll. The last three

0:35:28.960 --> 0:35:34.040
<v Speaker 2>years went also twenty five and twenty six with one

0:35:34.120 --> 0:35:39.759
<v Speaker 2>playoff appearance, and the Seattle Seahawks said, don't care, you

0:35:39.800 --> 0:35:42.279
<v Speaker 2>want a super Bowl here went to another one. You're

0:35:42.320 --> 0:35:48.080
<v Speaker 2>out here, big. Bob Salah over the last three years

0:35:48.400 --> 0:35:52.600
<v Speaker 2>has gone eighteen and thirty three, has won a two

0:35:52.800 --> 0:35:56.080
<v Speaker 2>total divisional games, and the New York Jets are like,

0:35:56.440 --> 0:36:01.560
<v Speaker 2>come on back, Bobby, you got unfinished business here. So

0:36:01.640 --> 0:36:05.320
<v Speaker 2>all these Jets fans being like, oh, we put bella

0:36:05.440 --> 0:36:09.600
<v Speaker 2>check out. His final game was losing us. Every other

0:36:09.760 --> 0:36:15.399
<v Speaker 2>team that has had massively more success with massively more

0:36:15.480 --> 0:36:20.719
<v Speaker 2>established coaches are like, you're out. Meanwhile, Bobby Salah can

0:36:20.840 --> 0:36:25.320
<v Speaker 2>sit there and just look angry on the sideline and confused,

0:36:26.000 --> 0:36:28.120
<v Speaker 2>and the Jets are like, you know what, he hasn't

0:36:28.120 --> 0:36:32.680
<v Speaker 2>had enough time. So andie, I'm not here. Listen, I'm

0:36:32.680 --> 0:36:36.160
<v Speaker 2>not here for Jet fans victory laps today. I'm just

0:36:36.280 --> 0:36:40.319
<v Speaker 2>not all right. So sorry, Gabe had to do it too.

0:36:40.400 --> 0:36:42.759
<v Speaker 2>You didn't really have to, but wanted to, all right,

0:36:43.840 --> 0:36:47.440
<v Speaker 2>So before the year, we do a gambling show and

0:36:47.480 --> 0:36:50.160
<v Speaker 2>we'll get to my actual bets that I make in

0:36:50.280 --> 0:36:53.200
<v Speaker 2>real life. The Gabe just come in. Does Gabe want

0:36:53.280 --> 0:36:54.000
<v Speaker 2>your microphone?

0:36:54.280 --> 0:36:58.120
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, gab. Gabe gave me the finger, but I think

0:36:58.120 --> 0:36:59.680
<v Speaker 3>he was trying to give it to me to then

0:36:59.719 --> 0:37:06.920
<v Speaker 3>give you. Oh, he's in here taking I don't okay, Now,

0:37:07.000 --> 0:37:09.319
<v Speaker 3>I don't want to derail the podcast. I want you

0:37:09.360 --> 0:37:12.520
<v Speaker 3>to talk about gambling. I just give us thirty seconds

0:37:12.560 --> 0:37:14.160
<v Speaker 3>of enjoyment. That's all we want.

0:37:15.200 --> 0:37:18.560
<v Speaker 2>I gave you thirty minutes, and then I had to

0:37:18.600 --> 0:37:21.680
<v Speaker 2>bring you back down to earth. Jets fans, I'm just

0:37:21.760 --> 0:37:28.600
<v Speaker 2>letting you know. I'm sorry, all right. So before the year,

0:37:29.360 --> 0:37:33.319
<v Speaker 2>I look at all the possible futures and I give

0:37:33.400 --> 0:37:37.640
<v Speaker 2>my lean on them, and then I make my actual

0:37:37.640 --> 0:37:39.520
<v Speaker 2>bets on the ones I had the most conviction on,

0:37:42.120 --> 0:37:44.759
<v Speaker 2>and I didn't do great on the future's bets I made.

0:37:44.800 --> 0:37:47.320
<v Speaker 2>We'll get to those in a moment. But what makes

0:37:47.360 --> 0:37:52.759
<v Speaker 2>it more painful is how perfectly I did on the

0:37:52.800 --> 0:37:56.879
<v Speaker 2>bets I didn't make. And I have the document, so

0:37:57.000 --> 0:38:01.279
<v Speaker 2>I am going to go through it. Cardinals total four

0:38:01.280 --> 0:38:05.719
<v Speaker 2>and a half. This bet is an under, but it

0:38:05.840 --> 0:38:10.760
<v Speaker 2>feels too square to make underhit Bill's ten and a half.

0:38:11.200 --> 0:38:16.080
<v Speaker 2>What I wrote this is the perfect line. Well, they

0:38:16.120 --> 0:38:18.799
<v Speaker 2>had ten wins going into the final game of the year,

0:38:19.160 --> 0:38:21.319
<v Speaker 2>and they had a second half comeback to win it,

0:38:21.360 --> 0:38:25.200
<v Speaker 2>so it was the perfect line. Broncos under eight and

0:38:25.239 --> 0:38:29.280
<v Speaker 2>a half feels like an under, but maybe there's Sean

0:38:29.360 --> 0:38:33.400
<v Speaker 2>Payton magic. There was Sean Payton magic, and it wasn't under.

0:38:34.120 --> 0:38:37.399
<v Speaker 2>Lions nine and a half. I said, this line's exactly right,

0:38:37.719 --> 0:38:39.680
<v Speaker 2>so I was off on that, but I didn't bet it.

0:38:40.080 --> 0:38:42.440
<v Speaker 2>Texan six and a half. This is what I wrote.

0:38:42.880 --> 0:38:47.520
<v Speaker 2>I like the under, but maybe Demico Ryans does something great,

0:38:47.880 --> 0:38:51.000
<v Speaker 2>so I didn't bet it. My head was correct. Raiders

0:38:51.800 --> 0:38:54.960
<v Speaker 2>six and a half. This is what I wrote. The

0:38:55.120 --> 0:38:59.360
<v Speaker 2>over is the bet, but we won't ever bet on

0:38:59.560 --> 0:39:04.160
<v Speaker 2>Josh McDaniels and Jimmy G. The over hit because they

0:39:04.239 --> 0:39:07.759
<v Speaker 2>fired McDaniels and bench Jimmy G. So I got it

0:39:07.880 --> 0:39:14.040
<v Speaker 2>exactly right and so all right. Next I wrote Chargers

0:39:14.120 --> 0:39:16.000
<v Speaker 2>nine and a half, perfect line. I was wrong on that.

0:39:16.040 --> 0:39:20.080
<v Speaker 2>It wasn't perfect line. Vikings eight and a half. I wrote,

0:39:20.440 --> 0:39:25.280
<v Speaker 2>this is the exact right number. Saints nine and a half.

0:39:25.719 --> 0:39:28.840
<v Speaker 2>Love the under, but a little too much juice on it.

0:39:28.880 --> 0:39:33.920
<v Speaker 2>At minus one forty they were finished with nine wins. Okay.

0:39:34.800 --> 0:39:39.400
<v Speaker 2>I then called the Bucks, Titans, and Commanders all stay aways.

0:39:40.520 --> 0:39:44.879
<v Speaker 2>Then there was this category, and this is the one

0:39:44.960 --> 0:39:53.000
<v Speaker 2>that is real pain, true true pain. The category was

0:39:54.200 --> 0:39:58.840
<v Speaker 2>would bet but there's a better way to make this bet.

0:40:00.400 --> 0:40:07.560
<v Speaker 2>And this is where I outsmarted myself. Okay, Steelers eight

0:40:07.600 --> 0:40:12.640
<v Speaker 2>and a half over. I wrote, love it, but there's

0:40:12.680 --> 0:40:15.200
<v Speaker 2>a better bet. We'll get to what that was in

0:40:15.280 --> 0:40:21.120
<v Speaker 2>a moment. Dolphins nine and a half over, love it,

0:40:21.520 --> 0:40:25.080
<v Speaker 2>but there's a better bet. The Steelers won ten, the

0:40:25.160 --> 0:40:30.960
<v Speaker 2>Dolphins won eleven, Packers seven and a half over. Love it,

0:40:31.400 --> 0:40:34.160
<v Speaker 2>but there's a better way to make this bet. The

0:40:34.200 --> 0:40:40.120
<v Speaker 2>Packers won nine games or ten, Falcons oh, eight and

0:40:40.160 --> 0:40:42.560
<v Speaker 2>a half over, there's a better bet here that one

0:40:42.600 --> 0:40:44.719
<v Speaker 2>they missed on the final day of the season, and

0:40:44.920 --> 0:40:49.200
<v Speaker 2>Jets nine and a half under. We love this bet.

0:40:49.280 --> 0:40:52.960
<v Speaker 2>We love this bet, but there's a better bet. Is

0:40:53.000 --> 0:40:58.200
<v Speaker 2>what I wrote on these. Okay, So that was five

0:40:58.320 --> 0:41:01.120
<v Speaker 2>bets that I went four and one on that I

0:41:01.200 --> 0:41:05.120
<v Speaker 2>didn't make because I thought I had better versions of them,

0:41:05.520 --> 0:41:09.719
<v Speaker 2>and then spoiler alert on the better versions of them.

0:41:09.920 --> 0:41:13.160
<v Speaker 2>Instead of going four and one, I went one and four,

0:41:14.160 --> 0:41:20.760
<v Speaker 2>just the bleeping worst. Now two our actual wagers, Demonse.

0:41:20.920 --> 0:41:23.600
<v Speaker 3>And we'll do a lot of the red.

0:41:24.000 --> 0:41:25.279
<v Speaker 2>And we'll do the math here.

0:41:25.360 --> 0:41:29.319
<v Speaker 3>Go ahead, all right, so we got wind totals where

0:41:29.320 --> 0:41:30.520
<v Speaker 3>we start off win totals.

0:41:31.719 --> 0:41:36.480
<v Speaker 2>You had Bears me congrats on being the Bob solav picks.

0:41:36.880 --> 0:41:39.640
<v Speaker 2>All right, Gabe, that's enough out of you. But go ahead.

0:41:40.160 --> 0:41:42.840
<v Speaker 3>You had Bears under seven and a half at plus

0:41:42.880 --> 0:41:46.879
<v Speaker 3>one hundred. That one cashed. That go through the whole.

0:41:47.360 --> 0:41:49.839
<v Speaker 2>I'm gonna do the math here, No, go one by one.

0:41:51.360 --> 0:41:51.800
<v Speaker 2>Go ahead.

0:41:52.360 --> 0:41:56.200
<v Speaker 3>You got Chicago they went seven and ten. Oh no, sorry,

0:41:56.320 --> 0:41:58.359
<v Speaker 3>you got the Cowboys over nine and a half at

0:41:58.400 --> 0:41:59.560
<v Speaker 3>minus one sixty two.

0:42:00.200 --> 0:42:02.719
<v Speaker 2>That also, no, that's not it though, look look at

0:42:02.719 --> 0:42:06.080
<v Speaker 2>the screen. Though it was the Dallas over I changed that,

0:42:06.239 --> 0:42:10.440
<v Speaker 2>remember to Dallas over ten and a half at the

0:42:10.480 --> 0:42:13.359
<v Speaker 2>which was the better number, and I won that one.

0:42:13.719 --> 0:42:19.520
<v Speaker 2>So now okay, we are plus all right, okay, god

0:42:19.560 --> 0:42:21.480
<v Speaker 2>dog go ahead. Yeah.

0:42:21.800 --> 0:42:26.040
<v Speaker 3>Now, Jaggs over ten and a half plus one forty five.

0:42:26.160 --> 0:42:31.680
<v Speaker 2>So that one, that one I actually feel a little

0:42:31.719 --> 0:42:34.960
<v Speaker 2>bit better on because the Jags, what I wrote in

0:42:35.000 --> 0:42:37.239
<v Speaker 2>the doc was Jags over nine and a half at

0:42:37.239 --> 0:42:40.200
<v Speaker 2>minus one forty four. Let's get a better number and

0:42:40.239 --> 0:42:42.239
<v Speaker 2>go Jags over ten and a half at plus one

0:42:42.280 --> 0:42:45.000
<v Speaker 2>forty five, they were eight and three. Trevor got hurt

0:42:45.239 --> 0:42:47.839
<v Speaker 2>and it derailed me. But so I lost money there.

0:42:48.040 --> 0:42:48.399
<v Speaker 2>All right?

0:42:48.480 --> 0:42:52.760
<v Speaker 3>Next, Kansas City over eleven and a half. I would

0:42:52.760 --> 0:42:54.839
<v Speaker 3>have thought that would have been good, I.

0:42:54.800 --> 0:42:57.680
<v Speaker 2>Said, I wrote locked. Every year they finished eleven and six,

0:42:57.760 --> 0:43:00.680
<v Speaker 2>missed it by a half game. Yeah, so go all right.

0:43:00.800 --> 0:43:05.560
<v Speaker 3>Next, you got Patriots over seven and a half at

0:43:05.560 --> 0:43:07.000
<v Speaker 3>plus one sixteen yep.

0:43:07.960 --> 0:43:10.160
<v Speaker 2>So I don't know why what I was thinking there,

0:43:10.200 --> 0:43:11.840
<v Speaker 2>And I mean I do know what I was thinking,

0:43:11.880 --> 0:43:14.799
<v Speaker 2>which was last year they won seven and they had

0:43:14.800 --> 0:43:17.200
<v Speaker 2>the worst quarterback play in the league. Why would they

0:43:17.239 --> 0:43:19.160
<v Speaker 2>not win more? That was a terrible bet. But what

0:43:19.160 --> 0:43:20.520
<v Speaker 2>are you gonna do? Next?

0:43:21.239 --> 0:43:23.880
<v Speaker 3>You got Eagles under eleven and a half at minus

0:43:23.920 --> 0:43:25.919
<v Speaker 3>one twenty eight. You said we love.

0:43:25.960 --> 0:43:29.520
<v Speaker 2>Winter winter chicken dinner. Teams started ten and one and

0:43:29.600 --> 0:43:31.880
<v Speaker 2>somehow hit the winner. Give me that one I deserve.

0:43:31.960 --> 0:43:34.400
<v Speaker 2>That's snack insane, by the way.

0:43:34.440 --> 0:43:38.040
<v Speaker 3>But forty nine ers, forty nine ers under ten and

0:43:38.080 --> 0:43:40.839
<v Speaker 3>a half at plus one thirty two, you just said

0:43:40.840 --> 0:43:44.359
<v Speaker 3>we're fadie nine ers because they have rock party yep.

0:43:44.400 --> 0:43:46.239
<v Speaker 2>And they ended up winning twelve games, So that one

0:43:46.280 --> 0:43:47.479
<v Speaker 2>didn't work out, well, go.

0:43:47.400 --> 0:43:51.719
<v Speaker 3>Ahead, you got Seahawks over eight and a half at

0:43:51.760 --> 0:43:52.919
<v Speaker 3>minus one forty two.

0:43:54.239 --> 0:43:57.720
<v Speaker 2>Okay. So look, I just did all the math based

0:43:57.760 --> 0:44:00.360
<v Speaker 2>on what I said before the year was I was

0:44:00.400 --> 0:44:03.640
<v Speaker 2>putting a thousand bucks all on each of these. So

0:44:03.719 --> 0:44:06.520
<v Speaker 2>the plus money ones, you bet a thousand to win

0:44:06.600 --> 0:44:09.440
<v Speaker 2>whatever the plus money is, and the minus money ones,

0:44:09.880 --> 0:44:11.919
<v Speaker 2>like if it's minus one twenty eight, I bet twelve

0:44:12.000 --> 0:44:14.800
<v Speaker 2>eighty to one one thousand, so on the win totals

0:44:15.160 --> 0:44:19.440
<v Speaker 2>over unders, believe it or not. Thanks to the sharp

0:44:19.640 --> 0:44:23.040
<v Speaker 2>you know, plus minus stuff, I won seven hundred and

0:44:23.080 --> 0:44:29.279
<v Speaker 2>ten bucks, okay, which then had I just gone with

0:44:29.920 --> 0:44:33.719
<v Speaker 2>my good bet would bet situation there, I would have

0:44:33.760 --> 0:44:38.600
<v Speaker 2>then had one two three four plus four thousand minus

0:44:38.640 --> 0:44:39.799
<v Speaker 2>thirteen twenty.

0:44:40.600 --> 0:44:43.040
<v Speaker 3>Or had you believed in Brock, I'd be up. I'd

0:44:43.080 --> 0:44:43.600
<v Speaker 3>be up.

0:44:43.520 --> 0:44:47.080
<v Speaker 2>Thirty shut up, shut up, I'd be up thirty four

0:44:47.160 --> 0:44:52.000
<v Speaker 2>hundred had I just done the wood bet. Instead, I

0:44:52.239 --> 0:44:58.160
<v Speaker 2>did these truly disastrous division winner bets. And let's go

0:44:58.239 --> 0:45:03.319
<v Speaker 2>through them, because they they absolutely obliterated the chest.

0:45:03.400 --> 0:45:07.320
<v Speaker 3>You know, they just obliterated the chat saying you also

0:45:07.600 --> 0:45:10.000
<v Speaker 3>you also have the you probably also have the winning

0:45:10.040 --> 0:45:12.600
<v Speaker 3>lottery ticket number, but you just haven't placed it yet.

0:45:14.080 --> 0:45:19.279
<v Speaker 2>I did check the archives. I did that. This is

0:45:19.440 --> 0:45:25.919
<v Speaker 2>all on video. Go back and check the preseason gambling show.

0:45:26.160 --> 0:45:28.360
<v Speaker 2>I said all this stuff, and now we're about to

0:45:28.360 --> 0:45:31.120
<v Speaker 2>see a ton of red. Just give me the division

0:45:31.120 --> 0:45:31.680
<v Speaker 2>winner bets.

0:45:31.840 --> 0:45:35.000
<v Speaker 3>So division winner bets, you got Miami.

0:45:35.320 --> 0:45:37.640
<v Speaker 2>Let me, let me, let me, let me take over

0:45:37.680 --> 0:45:42.200
<v Speaker 2>here for a moment. These are all losers, okay, Miami

0:45:42.280 --> 0:45:47.920
<v Speaker 2>plus two ninety. At one point they were minus six hundred,

0:45:49.000 --> 0:45:54.600
<v Speaker 2>and then they totally collapsed. Green Bay plus three point fifty.

0:45:55.520 --> 0:45:57.120
<v Speaker 2>I don't think that was a terrible bet. I think

0:45:57.120 --> 0:45:59.279
<v Speaker 2>it was decent value. They finished second lines better than

0:45:59.320 --> 0:46:03.520
<v Speaker 2>I thought they were gonna. Pittsburgh plus four seventy is

0:46:03.560 --> 0:46:08.040
<v Speaker 2>a bad bet. Green Bearer Baltimore's better. I thought Seattle

0:46:08.040 --> 0:46:14.000
<v Speaker 2>plus thirty that was a bad bet. Atlanta plus two ten,

0:46:15.520 --> 0:46:17.080
<v Speaker 2>I mean they were alive on the final day of

0:46:17.080 --> 0:46:19.800
<v Speaker 2>the regular season. They could win the division on the

0:46:19.840 --> 0:46:22.080
<v Speaker 2>final day of the regular season. That wasn't a terrible bet,

0:46:22.120 --> 0:46:25.720
<v Speaker 2>but it didn't work. And then the one that really

0:46:26.160 --> 0:46:31.240
<v Speaker 2>really brutalized me, the Jags in Kansas City at plus

0:46:31.280 --> 0:46:34.000
<v Speaker 2>one fifty. By the way, Miami was plus two ninety,

0:46:34.040 --> 0:46:37.320
<v Speaker 2>green Bay was plus three fifty. Pittsburgh was plus four seventy.

0:46:37.640 --> 0:46:39.759
<v Speaker 2>So at I just won the Miami bet, which I

0:46:39.800 --> 0:46:42.319
<v Speaker 2>should have. It would have taken care of three of

0:46:42.320 --> 0:46:45.400
<v Speaker 2>these other ones. Seattle was plus two thirty, Atlanta was

0:46:45.400 --> 0:46:49.120
<v Speaker 2>plus two ten, and then Jags Kansas City. I didn't

0:46:49.120 --> 0:46:52.319
<v Speaker 2>need the Jags to not full blown collapse, and that was,

0:46:52.360 --> 0:46:55.680
<v Speaker 2>if you remember, a two unit bet at plus one

0:46:55.840 --> 0:46:59.279
<v Speaker 2>fifty six. And then Pittsburgh Miami Green Bay was a

0:46:59.360 --> 0:47:04.000
<v Speaker 2>quarter unit bet at ninety nine to one. So that's one, two, three, four,

0:47:04.200 --> 0:47:09.600
<v Speaker 2>five six seven for Jags. Case Jesus seventy two fifty

0:47:09.640 --> 0:47:13.400
<v Speaker 2>on Division winter bets. Sweet Christ, all right.

0:47:13.280 --> 0:47:16.960
<v Speaker 3>You've got after Jas bets in here in totality and

0:47:17.040 --> 0:47:17.919
<v Speaker 3>all read.

0:47:19.200 --> 0:47:23.560
<v Speaker 2>I know the Jags cost me all of it, all

0:47:23.600 --> 0:47:28.600
<v Speaker 2>of it. There's I'll do the math in a minute,

0:47:28.680 --> 0:47:31.719
<v Speaker 2>but I'm gonna prove it to you. The Jags losing

0:47:32.200 --> 0:47:36.040
<v Speaker 2>that final game of the year, how much it cost

0:47:36.120 --> 0:47:39.640
<v Speaker 2>me is what will I'll show you. But right now, now,

0:47:39.760 --> 0:47:43.320
<v Speaker 2>after the Division winter bets, I'm stuck sixty five hundred

0:47:43.320 --> 0:47:47.520
<v Speaker 2>and forty dollars on my preseason bets. And I make

0:47:47.640 --> 0:47:50.320
<v Speaker 2>these bets by the way this is there's real money

0:47:50.320 --> 0:47:53.840
<v Speaker 2>out the door. Now to the make miss playoffs bets.

0:47:55.160 --> 0:47:58.719
<v Speaker 3>All right, you got Kansas City, Dallas, and Jacksonville to

0:47:58.760 --> 0:48:00.600
<v Speaker 3>all make it at plus one sixty.

0:48:01.480 --> 0:48:05.680
<v Speaker 2>Jacksonville will and that was another two unit bet. That

0:48:05.800 --> 0:48:10.880
<v Speaker 2>was another two unit bet. Okay. And again Kansas City

0:48:11.239 --> 0:48:14.680
<v Speaker 2>locked with weeks to goo, Dallas locked with weeks ago.

0:48:15.200 --> 0:48:18.520
<v Speaker 2>Jacksonville was eight and three and fell apart. So that's

0:48:18.760 --> 0:48:22.560
<v Speaker 2>minus two thousand, all right, the Jets to miss, thank

0:48:22.640 --> 0:48:25.880
<v Speaker 2>Christ finally a winner at plus one ten. Should have

0:48:25.920 --> 0:48:29.680
<v Speaker 2>put a one hundred units on it. It's just so maddening.

0:48:30.320 --> 0:48:34.280
<v Speaker 2>Uh And then this last one Cleveland Jets and Detroit

0:48:34.320 --> 0:48:37.560
<v Speaker 2>to miss. Obviously I went only one for three, but

0:48:37.640 --> 0:48:41.120
<v Speaker 2>that was only a quarter unit, so that is uh

0:48:41.680 --> 0:48:44.280
<v Speaker 2>so this is so that is that cost me two fifty.

0:48:44.600 --> 0:48:49.200
<v Speaker 2>So now, so I finished the year with this minus

0:48:49.239 --> 0:48:53.960
<v Speaker 2>seventy six ninety. I though, want to show you what

0:48:54.280 --> 0:48:59.000
<v Speaker 2>I would have finished if the Jags had won the

0:48:59.160 --> 0:49:02.839
<v Speaker 2>final game of the year. If the Jags had won

0:49:03.640 --> 0:49:07.239
<v Speaker 2>the final So Monzi, just remember the number seventy six ninety.

0:49:07.239 --> 0:49:09.520
<v Speaker 2>It's well, it's easy. If the Jags had won the

0:49:09.520 --> 0:49:13.279
<v Speaker 2>final game of the year they would have made the playoffs,

0:49:13.520 --> 0:49:17.000
<v Speaker 2>which would have meant instead of losing two thousand, I

0:49:17.040 --> 0:49:20.480
<v Speaker 2>would have won thirty two hundred on that two unit bet.

0:49:21.000 --> 0:49:21.960
<v Speaker 3>Right, Okay?

0:49:22.120 --> 0:49:25.840
<v Speaker 2>So that is so? That is a fifty two hundred

0:49:25.880 --> 0:49:30.240
<v Speaker 2>dollars swing on just that bet. And then the Jags

0:49:31.960 --> 0:49:37.080
<v Speaker 2>Chiefs parlay Jags to make the playoffs instead of Jags

0:49:37.120 --> 0:49:40.160
<v Speaker 2>and Chiefs both to win the division. Pardon me, instead

0:49:40.200 --> 0:49:46.520
<v Speaker 2>of losing two thousand, I would have won plus one

0:49:46.640 --> 0:49:52.520
<v Speaker 2>fifty six. So I would have won three thousand one

0:49:52.680 --> 0:49:55.759
<v Speaker 2>twenty so right? Is that right?

0:49:55.840 --> 0:49:56.080
<v Speaker 3>Yeah?

0:49:56.360 --> 0:49:59.839
<v Speaker 2>Thirty one to twenty so plus? So how much did

0:49:59.840 --> 0:50:02.359
<v Speaker 2>I say I lost demons on the year seventy six

0:50:02.520 --> 0:50:07.879
<v Speaker 2>ninety seventy six ninety Instead I would have been up

0:50:07.920 --> 0:50:13.080
<v Speaker 2>twenty six thirty. So when I say that that game

0:50:13.960 --> 0:50:19.000
<v Speaker 2>was a swing, that game represented the Jags Titans game

0:50:19.320 --> 0:50:22.960
<v Speaker 2>when Trevor reached for the goal line and wasn't, in short,

0:50:23.440 --> 0:50:28.440
<v Speaker 2>represented a swing of how much that one game? I

0:50:28.480 --> 0:50:34.160
<v Speaker 2>can't read twenty dollars? Uh?

0:50:34.239 --> 0:50:38.080
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, man, I think you should probably start listening to

0:50:38.120 --> 0:50:40.760
<v Speaker 3>your instincts like Belichick and Pete Carroll.

0:50:40.880 --> 0:50:45.919
<v Speaker 2>My instincts, My instincts were bet the Jags. I didn't

0:50:45.960 --> 0:50:49.359
<v Speaker 2>know Trevor was gonna get hurt all right. Last thing though,

0:50:49.520 --> 0:50:55.120
<v Speaker 2>because despite all of it, still sneaky alive for a

0:50:55.200 --> 0:50:57.839
<v Speaker 2>huge year. I just need to get the super Bowl right.

0:50:58.200 --> 0:51:01.480
<v Speaker 2>Oh boy, those aren't green red, which means they're both alive.

0:51:01.520 --> 0:51:03.440
<v Speaker 2>I got the two seed in the three seeds Kansas

0:51:03.480 --> 0:51:06.880
<v Speaker 2>City Dallas to make the super Bowl at plus thirty

0:51:07.640 --> 0:51:10.279
<v Speaker 2>fifty and Kancity defeat Dallas in the super Bowl at

0:51:10.320 --> 0:51:12.319
<v Speaker 2>fifty to one. So if we get at Kans City

0:51:12.400 --> 0:51:17.680
<v Speaker 2>Dallas super Bowl on the year, I win just over

0:51:18.239 --> 0:51:22.840
<v Speaker 2>twenty three. And if we get Kancity beating Dallas on

0:51:22.880 --> 0:51:25.040
<v Speaker 2>the year, I win just over eighty three. So we're

0:51:25.040 --> 0:51:28.719
<v Speaker 2>not dead yet. And the Jags killed me and be

0:51:28.800 --> 0:51:31.560
<v Speaker 2>trying to outsmart Vegas killed me. That's the reality of it.

0:51:31.600 --> 0:51:34.160
<v Speaker 2>And we're accountable on this show. We're not gonna be

0:51:34.160 --> 0:51:37.560
<v Speaker 2>out here be in some tout that's acting like we

0:51:38.000 --> 0:51:42.040
<v Speaker 2>every year we have winning years. This was a tough one.

0:51:42.080 --> 0:51:44.720
<v Speaker 2>I don't need this recap screen on the screen. Let's

0:51:44.760 --> 0:51:48.120
<v Speaker 2>move on to last week, which was the final week

0:51:48.160 --> 0:51:50.600
<v Speaker 2>of the year, my chance to get at five hundred,

0:51:50.960 --> 0:51:52.040
<v Speaker 2>and we went two and three.

0:51:52.680 --> 0:51:53.719
<v Speaker 3>God dogg it.

0:51:53.800 --> 0:51:54.719
<v Speaker 2>This was frustrating.

0:51:55.480 --> 0:51:58.600
<v Speaker 3>YEP got Cleveland seven to.

0:52:00.440 --> 0:52:03.160
<v Speaker 2>New England minus one and a half total loser, Detroit

0:52:03.160 --> 0:52:05.560
<v Speaker 2>minus three and a half. Great bet the Jet the

0:52:05.560 --> 0:52:07.560
<v Speaker 2>Giants plus five and a half they won out right

0:52:07.800 --> 0:52:10.600
<v Speaker 2>and Miami, how they didn't cover three? They win the

0:52:10.640 --> 0:52:14.080
<v Speaker 2>whole game super Punk Return. But that's okay. Now we

0:52:14.200 --> 0:52:18.160
<v Speaker 2>get to our actual wild card picks. Demons. I'm gonna

0:52:18.160 --> 0:52:22.000
<v Speaker 2>tell you right now. The first two I don't feel

0:52:22.000 --> 0:52:26.279
<v Speaker 2>great about, but I take every game. My dream of

0:52:26.320 --> 0:52:30.400
<v Speaker 2>going thirteen and zero in the playoffs stays alive, at

0:52:30.480 --> 0:52:33.439
<v Speaker 2>least until the game's kickoff. The first two I don't

0:52:33.440 --> 0:52:35.560
<v Speaker 2>feel great about. Give me the first one.

0:52:36.480 --> 0:52:39.760
<v Speaker 3>Your first one's Cleveland minus two and a half at Houston.

0:52:41.480 --> 0:52:47.600
<v Speaker 2>Okay, I really don't like taking a road favorite, and

0:52:47.680 --> 0:52:54.600
<v Speaker 2>I really don't like going with the worst quarterback. So

0:52:54.760 --> 0:52:57.680
<v Speaker 2>you might say, why would I not take Houston. I

0:52:57.960 --> 0:53:02.439
<v Speaker 2>do not think Houston's front is going to be able

0:53:02.480 --> 0:53:07.960
<v Speaker 2>to block Cleveland's front, and Houston, if you can, because

0:53:07.960 --> 0:53:11.080
<v Speaker 2>of their wide receiver injuries. If you can take away

0:53:11.160 --> 0:53:14.520
<v Speaker 2>Nico Collins and I think Jim Schwartz's defense is going

0:53:14.560 --> 0:53:17.360
<v Speaker 2>to be able to you can make that offense grind

0:53:17.400 --> 0:53:21.000
<v Speaker 2>to a halt. So you have a Cleveland team that

0:53:21.160 --> 0:53:24.239
<v Speaker 2>is rested because they sat every one of importance in

0:53:24.280 --> 0:53:27.720
<v Speaker 2>Week eighteen against a Houston team coming off a massive

0:53:27.760 --> 0:53:31.000
<v Speaker 2>emotional win that they maybe got a little lucky on

0:53:31.080 --> 0:53:34.200
<v Speaker 2>at the end. I don't love it, but I'll take

0:53:34.280 --> 0:53:38.200
<v Speaker 2>Cleveland minus two and a half in round one at Houston,

0:53:40.040 --> 0:53:44.640
<v Speaker 2>and so that that's where I'm at on that. Demond's

0:53:44.920 --> 0:53:47.120
<v Speaker 2>the next one, and I'll tell you why I don't

0:53:47.120 --> 0:53:48.319
<v Speaker 2>feel great about the next one.

0:53:49.080 --> 0:53:52.560
<v Speaker 3>Kansas City minus four and a half versus Miami.

0:53:54.480 --> 0:53:57.680
<v Speaker 2>Okay, here's why I don't love this one, because I'm

0:53:57.760 --> 0:54:01.520
<v Speaker 2>just getting a terrible number. This line opened at one

0:54:01.520 --> 0:54:04.840
<v Speaker 2>and a half, instantly got bet up to two and

0:54:04.840 --> 0:54:07.960
<v Speaker 2>a half three, and now as the weather reports have

0:54:08.000 --> 0:54:10.920
<v Speaker 2>come out throughout the week and more Miami injury reports,

0:54:11.120 --> 0:54:13.200
<v Speaker 2>the line has creeped all the way to four and

0:54:13.200 --> 0:54:17.799
<v Speaker 2>a half. So as the show makes fun of me

0:54:17.840 --> 0:54:20.880
<v Speaker 2>for though while I don't always bet on the Chiefs,

0:54:21.200 --> 0:54:23.640
<v Speaker 2>if I bet a Chiefs game, it is always on

0:54:23.680 --> 0:54:26.440
<v Speaker 2>the Chiefs. I never go against them in these spots.

0:54:26.800 --> 0:54:30.480
<v Speaker 2>I also think Miami is gonna be too cold to

0:54:30.480 --> 0:54:34.320
<v Speaker 2>play football. I don't think they're prepared for these elements,

0:54:34.640 --> 0:54:36.840
<v Speaker 2>and I think the elements are gonna play a major

0:54:36.960 --> 0:54:40.319
<v Speaker 2>factor in a number of games this weekend. I think

0:54:40.400 --> 0:54:44.680
<v Speaker 2>the Chiefs resting last week is super helpful. Miami's obviously

0:54:44.760 --> 0:54:50.919
<v Speaker 2>playing it's worst football of the year. Mahomes is, without exaggeration,

0:54:51.719 --> 0:54:56.120
<v Speaker 2>the greatest statistical playoff quarterback of all time. He is

0:54:56.239 --> 0:55:01.080
<v Speaker 2>first all time in winning percentage, completion percentage, yards per game,

0:55:01.800 --> 0:55:06.959
<v Speaker 2>passer rating, touchdown interception ratio. I think Miami is while

0:55:06.960 --> 0:55:10.040
<v Speaker 2>the Chiefs offense is not great. Miami's defense is so

0:55:10.239 --> 0:55:13.439
<v Speaker 2>banged up. I think the Chiefs offense could look good

0:55:13.440 --> 0:55:17.319
<v Speaker 2>against them. And I don't love swallowing the full four

0:55:17.320 --> 0:55:20.160
<v Speaker 2>and a half points, but I will my Kansas City

0:55:20.600 --> 0:55:26.600
<v Speaker 2>minus four and a half against Miami, and that's they're

0:55:26.640 --> 0:55:28.799
<v Speaker 2>the home team, they're the better team, they're playing better

0:55:28.840 --> 0:55:29.399
<v Speaker 2>as of late.

0:55:29.520 --> 0:55:34.600
<v Speaker 3>Next you've got Pittsburgh plus ten at Buffalo. F good

0:55:34.640 --> 0:55:35.839
<v Speaker 3>about that one. It's just.

0:55:38.000 --> 0:55:40.400
<v Speaker 2>Well, it's just way too many points for what's gonna

0:55:40.400 --> 0:55:43.839
<v Speaker 2>be a wind snowstorm. I mean, it's go there's gonna

0:55:43.840 --> 0:55:46.600
<v Speaker 2>be a foot of snow, there's gonna be massive wins.

0:55:47.320 --> 0:55:49.480
<v Speaker 2>It's just too many points for a game played in

0:55:49.520 --> 0:55:57.920
<v Speaker 2>those conditions, and so I Buffalo blow them out. No, No,

0:55:58.000 --> 0:56:01.960
<v Speaker 2>I mean I think more likely. It's like thirteen to

0:56:02.080 --> 0:56:06.319
<v Speaker 2>six is more likely, and not six because of two

0:56:06.320 --> 0:56:09.120
<v Speaker 2>field goals, six because of a touchdown by Pittsburgh and

0:56:09.160 --> 0:56:11.920
<v Speaker 2>a missed extra point. Like I mean, these conditions are

0:56:11.960 --> 0:56:16.880
<v Speaker 2>going to be brutal, but Buffalo oddly is not as

0:56:16.920 --> 0:56:20.439
<v Speaker 2>good as you would expect in terrible conditions given where

0:56:20.480 --> 0:56:25.480
<v Speaker 2>they play. Also, we know Tomlin as an underdog is unbelievable.

0:56:26.000 --> 0:56:32.040
<v Speaker 2>Josh Allen hasn't covered seven straight games as a double

0:56:32.080 --> 0:56:37.920
<v Speaker 2>digit favorite, and Josh Allen is always over Josh Allen's

0:56:37.920 --> 0:56:40.320
<v Speaker 2>two and six against the spread in his playoff career.

0:56:40.680 --> 0:56:45.320
<v Speaker 2>He's always overvalued come the postseason. I'm getting the better coach,

0:56:46.480 --> 0:56:50.400
<v Speaker 2>I think, And you can't say the better defense because TJ.

0:56:50.520 --> 0:56:52.880
<v Speaker 2>Watts out for the game. But I'm getting the better

0:56:52.960 --> 0:56:55.360
<v Speaker 2>coach and a team that wants to run the ball

0:56:55.760 --> 0:56:59.800
<v Speaker 2>in these terrible conditions. I will take the ten points next.

0:57:00.560 --> 0:57:03.200
<v Speaker 3>Dallas minus seven and a half versus Green Bay. I

0:57:03.200 --> 0:57:09.000
<v Speaker 3>gotta tell you this one's kind of disrespectful. But what's disrespectful? God?

0:57:09.080 --> 0:57:11.680
<v Speaker 3>Jordan Love on Green Bay. He's good.

0:57:11.760 --> 0:57:14.560
<v Speaker 2>I like Jordan Love, Yeah, but he's The Cowboys are

0:57:14.560 --> 0:57:18.320
<v Speaker 2>gonna score thirty eight points. So can Jordan Love in

0:57:18.360 --> 0:57:21.720
<v Speaker 2>his first playoff start ever break thirty. That's what he's

0:57:21.760 --> 0:57:24.560
<v Speaker 2>gonna need just to cover because the Cowboys are scoring

0:57:24.600 --> 0:57:28.439
<v Speaker 2>thirty eight points in this game. The Cowboys offense at

0:57:28.480 --> 0:57:33.440
<v Speaker 2>home against that brutal Green Bay defense and Joe Barry

0:57:33.520 --> 0:57:37.360
<v Speaker 2>coordinating it no chance. So the Cowboys are gonna move

0:57:37.440 --> 0:57:41.080
<v Speaker 2>the ball at will. A bit of a revenge spot

0:57:41.160 --> 0:57:44.800
<v Speaker 2>Mike McCarthy, the team that fired him, Dak chip on

0:57:44.880 --> 0:57:47.320
<v Speaker 2>his shoulder that he at least should be in the

0:57:47.440 --> 0:57:50.880
<v Speaker 2>MVP conversation instead of it just being handed to Lamar.

0:57:51.440 --> 0:57:55.680
<v Speaker 2>All those things, the Cowboys getting the exact draw that

0:57:55.720 --> 0:58:01.840
<v Speaker 2>they want. This is my second favorite bet of the weekend.

0:58:02.120 --> 0:58:06.520
<v Speaker 2>The first three games of the six games this weekend,

0:58:07.320 --> 0:58:10.080
<v Speaker 2>I am least confident in Cleveland minus two and a

0:58:10.080 --> 0:58:14.680
<v Speaker 2>half against Houston. I am next least confident Pittsburgh plus

0:58:14.680 --> 0:58:19.240
<v Speaker 2>ten at Buffalo, and the I am next as far

0:58:19.320 --> 0:58:22.480
<v Speaker 2>as you know, confidence level kensity minus four and a

0:58:22.520 --> 0:58:25.520
<v Speaker 2>half against Miami. The last three games are the three

0:58:25.520 --> 0:58:28.600
<v Speaker 2>games I like the most. Dallas minus seven and a

0:58:28.600 --> 0:58:33.120
<v Speaker 2>half against Green Bay is my second favorite bet of

0:58:33.160 --> 0:58:36.080
<v Speaker 2>the weekend. I understand the Cowboys are three and twelve

0:58:36.160 --> 0:58:40.000
<v Speaker 2>against the spread in the playoffs in their last fifteen games.

0:58:39.920 --> 0:58:43.840
<v Speaker 3>And thirty seven and a half. I don't know if

0:58:43.840 --> 0:58:44.840
<v Speaker 3>you had already known that.

0:58:46.720 --> 0:58:49.720
<v Speaker 2>But no, no, no, no, it's not. There's no chance that

0:58:49.800 --> 0:58:53.240
<v Speaker 2>it is. That's got to be at plus a bunch

0:58:53.280 --> 0:58:53.680
<v Speaker 2>of money.

0:58:53.720 --> 0:58:55.880
<v Speaker 3>Oh, Cowboys the game.

0:58:56.400 --> 0:59:01.960
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, the Cowboys. No, the Cowboys scoring over thirty seven

0:59:02.000 --> 0:59:04.760
<v Speaker 2>and a half points is plus two sixty five? Is

0:59:04.800 --> 0:59:07.640
<v Speaker 2>what they is? What it is? Oh, so the Cowboys

0:59:07.720 --> 0:59:12.080
<v Speaker 2>team total is plus two over if I'm right. What

0:59:12.120 --> 0:59:13.880
<v Speaker 2>he's saying is, if I'm right, I can get them

0:59:13.920 --> 0:59:17.000
<v Speaker 2>plus two six and five on that. My guess is

0:59:17.560 --> 0:59:24.040
<v Speaker 2>the Cowboys actual projected total for the game is twenty

0:59:24.120 --> 0:59:28.200
<v Speaker 2>nine and a half, thirty and a half. That's that

0:59:28.520 --> 0:59:30.320
<v Speaker 2>would be my I mean, I can look, I don't

0:59:30.320 --> 0:59:32.840
<v Speaker 2>have to guess. I can just look or go ahead

0:59:32.840 --> 0:59:34.440
<v Speaker 2>and just Daniel just put it in the dock for

0:59:34.560 --> 0:59:37.760
<v Speaker 2>us so we can see what their actual team total is.

0:59:38.000 --> 0:59:41.680
<v Speaker 2>Thirty and a half. Yeah, yeah, so that makes sense,

0:59:41.680 --> 0:59:44.240
<v Speaker 2>all right, Demand the next one because this is my

0:59:44.280 --> 0:59:45.680
<v Speaker 2>favorite bet of the weekend.

0:59:45.960 --> 0:59:48.400
<v Speaker 3>You got the Rams plus three at Detroit. Gonna be

0:59:48.400 --> 0:59:51.040
<v Speaker 3>a good game, revenge game.

0:59:51.120 --> 0:59:56.000
<v Speaker 2>I don't know about that. Who's got the better coach

0:59:57.120 --> 1:00:01.800
<v Speaker 2>the Rams. Who has the better quarterback the Rams? Who

1:00:01.800 --> 1:00:05.840
<v Speaker 2>has the better defense the Rams now that Laport is out.

1:00:05.920 --> 1:00:10.040
<v Speaker 2>Who has the better skill position guys the Rams? Aside

1:00:10.080 --> 1:00:15.600
<v Speaker 2>from offensive line? What is one edge the Lions have

1:00:16.120 --> 1:00:20.880
<v Speaker 2>They don't have one. Wrong team's favored the Rams right now.

1:00:21.640 --> 1:00:23.800
<v Speaker 2>I yeah, no, of course, I mean that is, and

1:00:23.840 --> 1:00:26.520
<v Speaker 2>that is an obvious edge, But you don't get the

1:00:26.520 --> 1:00:28.320
<v Speaker 2>home field edge of like, oh, and now the Rams

1:00:28.400 --> 1:00:31.320
<v Speaker 2>got to play in the elements. It's a Dome team, obviously.

1:00:31.840 --> 1:00:36.280
<v Speaker 2>I think that the Rams right now. I think the

1:00:36.400 --> 1:00:41.760
<v Speaker 2>Rams are the fifth best team in the NFL right now.

1:00:43.520 --> 1:00:45.960
<v Speaker 2>The only teams I would have ahead of the Rams

1:00:46.240 --> 1:00:49.560
<v Speaker 2>are the Chiefs, Cowboys, Ravens, and Niners. I think the

1:00:49.640 --> 1:00:52.320
<v Speaker 2>Rams right now are better than Buffalo. They are just

1:00:52.360 --> 1:00:54.480
<v Speaker 2>as hot as Buffalo. By the way, They've won seven

1:00:54.480 --> 1:00:57.520
<v Speaker 2>of eight. Their one loss was an overtime loss to Baltimore.

1:00:58.040 --> 1:01:01.080
<v Speaker 2>The team's healthy and playing great. So I love the

1:01:01.200 --> 1:01:04.240
<v Speaker 2>Rams in this spot, all right. So that's my favorite

1:01:04.240 --> 1:01:07.280
<v Speaker 2>bet of the weekend. That my second favorite bet is

1:01:07.280 --> 1:01:09.479
<v Speaker 2>the Cowboys minus seven and a half. And then number

1:01:09.520 --> 1:01:12.840
<v Speaker 2>three is this go ahead to Monsey Tampa.

1:01:13.160 --> 1:01:15.440
<v Speaker 3>This spiteful bets. What we're gonna call it Tampa Bay

1:01:15.480 --> 1:01:18.200
<v Speaker 3>plus three versus Philly.

1:01:19.520 --> 1:01:21.640
<v Speaker 2>I mean, listen, I don't like the how Tampa looked

1:01:21.640 --> 1:01:25.240
<v Speaker 2>in Week eighteen, and Baker's clearly hurt, so that's not good.

1:01:25.600 --> 1:01:30.840
<v Speaker 2>But Philly is right now this moment. Philly's a bottom

1:01:30.880 --> 1:01:35.320
<v Speaker 2>five team in the NFL. They have the worst defense

1:01:35.360 --> 1:01:38.280
<v Speaker 2>of any playoff team. Their quarterback is banged up and

1:01:38.360 --> 1:01:41.160
<v Speaker 2>not playing well, their coach doesn't know what he's doing,

1:01:41.440 --> 1:01:44.680
<v Speaker 2>and both of their star wide receivers are hurt. Like

1:01:45.600 --> 1:01:48.800
<v Speaker 2>what what does Philly do well right now? And be

1:01:49.040 --> 1:01:51.240
<v Speaker 2>like the tush push, Well, you gotta get to third

1:01:51.280 --> 1:01:54.000
<v Speaker 2>and short or fourth and short. For that the defense

1:01:54.040 --> 1:01:57.400
<v Speaker 2>can't stop anyone. Patricia un't know what he's doing, Like

1:01:57.640 --> 1:02:02.560
<v Speaker 2>I Tampa now, because Tampa's far from a great team,

1:02:02.560 --> 1:02:05.760
<v Speaker 2>they're barely even a good team, and their quarterback's hurt.

1:02:06.040 --> 1:02:10.520
<v Speaker 2>You're nervous about this spot. But Tampa plus three come on,

1:02:11.320 --> 1:02:14.680
<v Speaker 2>And so I love Tampa. I shouldn't say love. I

1:02:14.720 --> 1:02:18.160
<v Speaker 2>really like Tampa in this spot, but the Rams plus three,

1:02:18.240 --> 1:02:20.320
<v Speaker 2>Dallas minus seven and a half, Tampa plus three are

1:02:20.360 --> 1:02:23.640
<v Speaker 2>my three favorite bets. Less confident in Pittsburgh plus ten,

1:02:23.960 --> 1:02:26.120
<v Speaker 2>Kansas City minus four and a half, and Cleveland minus

1:02:26.120 --> 1:02:29.600
<v Speaker 2>two and a half. And my dream of going six

1:02:29.760 --> 1:02:32.960
<v Speaker 2>or thirteen to zero in the playoffs. You know it

1:02:33.080 --> 1:02:35.160
<v Speaker 2>starts this weekend, all right? What's the offer?

1:02:36.480 --> 1:02:38.560
<v Speaker 3>All right? So it's gonna be super cold in Kansas

1:02:38.600 --> 1:02:41.520
<v Speaker 3>City for that game. So we're gonna check out the

1:02:41.560 --> 1:02:44.280
<v Speaker 3>running back who runs harder than anybody in the league,

1:02:44.480 --> 1:02:48.840
<v Speaker 3>Isaiah Pacheco one hundred plus rushing yards at plus three seventy.

1:02:48.920 --> 1:02:49.480
<v Speaker 3>You taken it.

1:02:52.320 --> 1:03:00.720
<v Speaker 2>Plus three seventy makes it somewhat attractive, will he Andy

1:03:00.840 --> 1:03:05.520
<v Speaker 2>doesn't love sticking to the run, and so it's it's

1:03:05.520 --> 1:03:08.400
<v Speaker 2>worth a little flyer at plus three seventy.

1:03:09.160 --> 1:03:12.800
<v Speaker 3>I certainly like heavy than they have any other time

1:03:12.880 --> 1:03:15.040
<v Speaker 3>throughout this year. I mean, I feel like they're they're

1:03:15.040 --> 1:03:16.680
<v Speaker 3>not run heavy right now. I feel like they keep

1:03:16.720 --> 1:03:18.560
<v Speaker 3>it balanced. No, but they are going to be running

1:03:18.560 --> 1:03:22.280
<v Speaker 3>more in this game. I would think, you would imagine.

1:03:24.080 --> 1:03:27.000
<v Speaker 2>I would think the flip side of that is in

1:03:27.040 --> 1:03:31.320
<v Speaker 2>Miami's pass rush is so decimated. I'll tell you who's

1:03:31.800 --> 1:03:38.080
<v Speaker 2>with blind bet every game of the playoffs Mahomes rushing total,

1:03:38.680 --> 1:03:43.400
<v Speaker 2>Mahomes rushing overs every game. I'm gonna bet it. Mahomes

1:03:44.600 --> 1:03:50.960
<v Speaker 2>is as effective of a scrambling quarterback, not punishing like

1:03:51.080 --> 1:03:53.960
<v Speaker 2>Josh Allen or elusive like Lamar, but as far as

1:03:54.040 --> 1:03:57.280
<v Speaker 2>I can get the yardage I need as any quarterback

1:03:57.320 --> 1:04:00.160
<v Speaker 2>in the league. And he doesn't do it much in

1:04:00.160 --> 1:04:03.600
<v Speaker 2>the regular season because he's trying to stay healthy. In

1:04:03.640 --> 1:04:08.000
<v Speaker 2>these playoffs, he's gonna be running Mahomes rushing overs. I

1:04:08.160 --> 1:04:11.600
<v Speaker 2>love maybe a little taste on Pacheco there as well.

1:04:11.680 --> 1:04:15.000
<v Speaker 2>All Right, quick break, demonse, right back, come back and

1:04:15.040 --> 1:04:22.200
<v Speaker 2>answer listener questions. That's next, What's right? All right, welcome

1:04:22.240 --> 1:04:24.280
<v Speaker 2>back in What's Right with Nick? Right demonse. Let's get

1:04:24.280 --> 1:04:26.760
<v Speaker 2>through some of the listener questions from the chat quickly

1:04:26.800 --> 1:04:27.640
<v Speaker 2>before we move on.

1:04:28.440 --> 1:04:30.800
<v Speaker 3>Scott asks, Uh, Nick, do you think like I do,

1:04:30.920 --> 1:04:33.600
<v Speaker 3>that this is Mike Tomlin's last game in Pittsburgh?

1:04:34.840 --> 1:04:37.760
<v Speaker 2>No, absolutely not. That's not a team that I think

1:04:37.800 --> 1:04:40.000
<v Speaker 2>is gonna fire their coach if they lose in Round one.

1:04:40.320 --> 1:04:42.240
<v Speaker 2>I don't think it's gonna be his last game. I

1:04:42.240 --> 1:04:44.520
<v Speaker 2>think if there was any questions, he answered them at

1:04:44.560 --> 1:04:46.200
<v Speaker 2>the way they ended the season.

1:04:46.120 --> 1:04:50.560
<v Speaker 3>All right, Next, Michael Curtis, should Lakers go all in

1:04:50.640 --> 1:04:53.600
<v Speaker 3>for someone like Levigne or stick with the current roster

1:04:53.720 --> 1:04:54.920
<v Speaker 3>and make marginal moves?

1:04:55.920 --> 1:04:58.040
<v Speaker 2>Well, they stick with the current roster, they're drawing dead.

1:04:58.080 --> 1:04:59.760
<v Speaker 2>I don't think you have to go all in for

1:05:00.760 --> 1:05:02.520
<v Speaker 2>I think you have to go partially. And I don't

1:05:02.560 --> 1:05:04.200
<v Speaker 2>think you're gonna have to give up a ton for

1:05:04.320 --> 1:05:07.480
<v Speaker 2>Zach Levine. Probably give up DeAngelo Ruey in a first

1:05:07.560 --> 1:05:09.720
<v Speaker 2>round pick and be able to get Zach Levine. Bulls

1:05:09.720 --> 1:05:13.760
<v Speaker 2>have played better without him. But yeah, the Lakers need

1:05:13.800 --> 1:05:17.400
<v Speaker 2>to make a significant change, a significant change. Next.

1:05:17.960 --> 1:05:20.520
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, maybe bring the end season tournament back play a

1:05:20.520 --> 1:05:24.560
<v Speaker 3>little bit harder. Class Onion twenty five said, really curious

1:05:24.600 --> 1:05:26.880
<v Speaker 3>to see how beat who's.

1:05:26.640 --> 1:05:28.120
<v Speaker 2>Bebe Bill Belichick?

1:05:28.520 --> 1:05:31.840
<v Speaker 3>Bill? Oh yeah, Bill Belichick does on another team. Well,

1:05:31.920 --> 1:05:34.439
<v Speaker 3>his coaching style work with a new organization that isn't

1:05:34.520 --> 1:05:36.880
<v Speaker 3>used isn't used to his old school ways.

1:05:38.080 --> 1:05:40.480
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, no, I think it'll work. Listen, I think Belichick's

1:05:40.480 --> 1:05:43.439
<v Speaker 2>style still works. He's just had terrible, terrible quarterback play,

1:05:44.120 --> 1:05:47.520
<v Speaker 2>and I think that he's he hasn't necessarily had the

1:05:47.560 --> 1:05:50.680
<v Speaker 2>best picks of offensive coordinators and he's had bad quarterback play.

1:05:50.920 --> 1:05:52.000
<v Speaker 2>It's simple as that, all right.

1:05:52.080 --> 1:05:56.040
<v Speaker 3>Next, Trevor Barber asked, Nick, do you do you have

1:05:56.080 --> 1:05:58.760
<v Speaker 3>any poker tournaments coming up? I enjoy watching you play

1:05:58.800 --> 1:06:00.080
<v Speaker 3>the pros and taking their money.

1:06:01.240 --> 1:06:03.720
<v Speaker 2>Well, last time I played the pros, they took my money.

1:06:04.120 --> 1:06:07.400
<v Speaker 2>I appreciate that, Trevor. I so I have an opportunity

1:06:07.640 --> 1:06:11.440
<v Speaker 2>to play on Poker Go shortly after the super Bowl,

1:06:12.560 --> 1:06:14.360
<v Speaker 2>but I don't know if I'm gonna be doing that

1:06:14.480 --> 1:06:16.959
<v Speaker 2>or not. Uh So, I'm not sure. I hope once

1:06:17.000 --> 1:06:21.160
<v Speaker 2>football is over that world opens up to me more again.

1:06:21.200 --> 1:06:23.080
<v Speaker 2>I had an opportunity to go to Houston a few

1:06:23.120 --> 1:06:26.920
<v Speaker 2>weeks ago, but I couldn't. There's a great tournament series,

1:06:26.960 --> 1:06:29.000
<v Speaker 2>it wouldn't be on TV right now going on in

1:06:29.040 --> 1:06:32.360
<v Speaker 2>Atlantic City that I would be going to. But your

1:06:32.360 --> 1:06:35.360
<v Speaker 2>mother not shockingly, you know, it's been a couple months.

1:06:35.400 --> 1:06:38.000
<v Speaker 2>So she's going on a nice little Caribbean vacation for

1:06:38.040 --> 1:06:41.000
<v Speaker 2>the weekend while I am, you know, just at home

1:06:41.120 --> 1:06:44.640
<v Speaker 2>in the cold with your baby, sister. Your I thought

1:06:44.680 --> 1:06:49.440
<v Speaker 2>demonse that my mom was gonna be helping out with

1:06:49.640 --> 1:06:52.760
<v Speaker 2>Deanna this weekend, so I wasn't really tripping about your

1:06:52.800 --> 1:06:57.360
<v Speaker 2>your mom, your mom is going to uh locations I

1:06:57.360 --> 1:07:01.920
<v Speaker 2>don't unknown in the Caribbean for her best friend's birthday.

1:07:04.080 --> 1:07:07.280
<v Speaker 2>And I just assumed, I guess that she had worked

1:07:07.280 --> 1:07:10.680
<v Speaker 2>out with my mom that Deanna would be with my mom.

1:07:11.000 --> 1:07:15.560
<v Speaker 2>My mom's going out of town. It is wild card weekend.

1:07:16.360 --> 1:07:20.640
<v Speaker 2>Deanna doesn't even have school Monday because it's Mlkday and

1:07:20.680 --> 1:07:24.480
<v Speaker 2>it's just me and her. I'm like, I'm legit. I'm

1:07:24.520 --> 1:07:26.680
<v Speaker 2>not gonna lie to you. De Monsey. You would have

1:07:26.720 --> 1:07:31.880
<v Speaker 2>been so annoyed me. I looked in to plane tickets

1:07:32.560 --> 1:07:35.760
<v Speaker 2>of either you coming here or more likely me sending
