1
00:00:09,360 --> 00:00:12,920
Speaker 1: Welcome to NFL Daily, where we're all just trying to

2
00:00:12,920 --> 00:00:15,760
Speaker 1: be in the face of the network. I'm Greg Rosenthal,

3
00:00:15,760 --> 00:00:18,120
Speaker 1: and yeah, that titles taken at NFL Network by Rich

4
00:00:18,200 --> 00:00:22,520
Speaker 1: Easen and then maybe like six other guys. Steve Weisch,

5
00:00:22,840 --> 00:00:24,639
Speaker 1: my co host, would be one of them. But my

6
00:00:24,720 --> 00:00:27,479
Speaker 1: guest has that title. It's not right now.

7
00:00:27,560 --> 00:00:32,280
Speaker 2: You don't know that it's been foisted upon me by

8
00:00:32,360 --> 00:00:35,600
Speaker 2: some charlatan's on the internet. Listen, I know you don't

9
00:00:35,640 --> 00:00:39,040
Speaker 2: like FAF to start the show, just so you can

10
00:00:39,040 --> 00:00:41,400
Speaker 2: set a sixty second clock here. There's just a couple

11
00:00:41,400 --> 00:00:43,599
Speaker 2: of things I want to say. One is I went

12
00:00:43,640 --> 00:00:47,720
Speaker 2: through my email lesson I couldn't find it. I really

13
00:00:47,760 --> 00:00:51,120
Speaker 2: think you the first time you came on one of

14
00:00:51,120 --> 00:00:56,840
Speaker 2: my radio shows was sixteen years ago. I honestly believe that,

15
00:00:56,920 --> 00:00:59,920
Speaker 2: and like you were one of my go to guys.

16
00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:03,560
Speaker 2: I would call and you would very kindly come on,

17
00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:07,040
Speaker 2: even though I was like you were getting nothing out

18
00:01:07,040 --> 00:01:10,160
Speaker 2: of it, and I've never been able to return the favor.

19
00:01:10,280 --> 00:01:13,080
Speaker 2: So this is a real treat for me. That's point

20
00:01:13,160 --> 00:01:17,080
Speaker 2: number one. Point number two. I'm a long time Greg

21
00:01:17,200 --> 00:01:20,600
Speaker 2: Rosenthal listener and fan. Loved the old pod and I

22
00:01:20,600 --> 00:01:23,839
Speaker 2: have not missed an episode of this one, and in fact,

23
00:01:23,920 --> 00:01:26,720
Speaker 2: the only one I haven't listened to in its entirety

24
00:01:27,319 --> 00:01:30,520
Speaker 2: is Wednesdays because when we are recording Thursday, I haven't

25
00:01:30,520 --> 00:01:32,679
Speaker 2: had time yet to listen to the whole thing. But

26
00:01:32,720 --> 00:01:34,840
Speaker 2: I heard the beginning of it. You and another guy

27
00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:36,679
Speaker 2: used to have come on the radio show all the time,

28
00:01:36,680 --> 00:01:39,520
Speaker 2: Evan Silva. And the last point is this, and this

29
00:01:39,680 --> 00:01:44,000
Speaker 2: is important. You are one of three people. The other

30
00:01:44,080 --> 00:01:47,200
Speaker 2: two will remain nameless. That way everyone can think they're

31
00:01:47,240 --> 00:01:50,120
Speaker 2: in that group, that here's this who when they say

32
00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:54,440
Speaker 2: something that I vehemently disagree with in the NFL, I

33
00:01:54,600 --> 00:01:58,240
Speaker 2: reconsider my opinion. Everyone else I just think they're wrong,

34
00:01:58,280 --> 00:02:01,960
Speaker 2: and I'm right you and two other people, I'm like, well,

35
00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:03,720
Speaker 2: maybe I need to look at it again. So thank

36
00:02:03,760 --> 00:02:04,600
Speaker 2: you for having me on.

37
00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:07,920
Speaker 3: Well that that is all making me uncomfortable.

38
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:10,519
Speaker 1: I now just want to spend the show guessing who

39
00:02:10,560 --> 00:02:11,440
Speaker 1: the other two are.

40
00:02:12,040 --> 00:02:14,679
Speaker 2: One of them's Barnwell, Barnaball.

41
00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:17,040
Speaker 1: Okay, I booked Barnwell in a big spot. He's gonna

42
00:02:17,080 --> 00:02:19,400
Speaker 1: do our TNF free cap week too, so there's a little.

43
00:02:20,520 --> 00:02:22,760
Speaker 2: The third used to be Mina, but now she's my

44
00:02:22,840 --> 00:02:26,000
Speaker 2: sworn rival. So now it's got to be so much.

45
00:02:26,040 --> 00:02:28,080
Speaker 2: So again you have to leave a spot like that

46
00:02:28,160 --> 00:02:30,760
Speaker 2: open that way. Anyone that hears it can't be offended.

47
00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:32,280
Speaker 2: They're like, wait, why am I not on that list?

48
00:02:32,320 --> 00:02:34,760
Speaker 2: It's like no, no, no, you were the missing person.

49
00:02:34,960 --> 00:02:35,680
Speaker 3: Oh last thing.

50
00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:38,120
Speaker 2: I do a podcast in addition to the TV show

51
00:02:38,160 --> 00:02:39,959
Speaker 2: with my son Demonse.

52
00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:41,959
Speaker 3: My son. I was a bit old to that you've

53
00:02:42,040 --> 00:02:43,160
Speaker 3: just taken over. No.

54
00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:45,680
Speaker 2: I was just gonna say it because you and Walker,

55
00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:48,359
Speaker 2: I think one day are going to do a pod together.

56
00:02:48,440 --> 00:02:51,840
Speaker 2: I hear his takes. His picks sometimes are a little chalky,

57
00:02:51,880 --> 00:02:54,200
Speaker 2: a little square, but I like it. So that's all,

58
00:02:54,200 --> 00:02:54,680
Speaker 2: But go ahead.

59
00:02:55,200 --> 00:02:58,559
Speaker 1: I appreciate that, all you know. I am now reminded

60
00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:00,560
Speaker 1: of a great chew. I don't know if it was

61
00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:03,280
Speaker 1: you or Adam Lefko who was on with Bomani, but

62
00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:06,519
Speaker 1: he noticed on his podcast when you have another host

63
00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:08,640
Speaker 1: on the podcast, they just start hosting.

64
00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:11,280
Speaker 3: Yes, and that's what Nick's done to me. No, I

65
00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:11,680
Speaker 3: love it.

66
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:14,680
Speaker 1: I love it, and I'm glad actually and yeah, Nick

67
00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:16,640
Speaker 1: is of course the host of First Things First on

68
00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:21,200
Speaker 1: FS one that's every day at noon Pacific three Eastern.

69
00:03:22,160 --> 00:03:24,680
Speaker 1: You know, I like to let list Pacific first, it's

70
00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:26,800
Speaker 1: the important people, and then yeah, what's right. I really

71
00:03:26,880 --> 00:03:29,800
Speaker 1: was going to mention that that you co host a

72
00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:33,880
Speaker 1: podcast with your son Demanse, and that's fantastic. That is

73
00:03:34,120 --> 00:03:35,920
Speaker 1: life goals, and so that's what's right with Nick.

74
00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:36,160
Speaker 2: Right.

75
00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:39,000
Speaker 1: They just did the over unders all thirty two teams.

76
00:03:39,040 --> 00:03:41,800
Speaker 1: I'm jealous of that now, as like, Okay, next year,

77
00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:43,200
Speaker 1: I want to do all thirty two teams.

78
00:03:43,240 --> 00:03:44,960
Speaker 3: That would be fun. And you managed to jam.

79
00:03:44,760 --> 00:03:46,560
Speaker 1: It into an hour, so you got to check out

80
00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:48,760
Speaker 1: that show. And yeah, at the risk of getting too

81
00:03:48,840 --> 00:03:50,720
Speaker 1: heavy on top here, I'm glad you brought up the

82
00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:54,120
Speaker 1: radio thing. And maybe you don't remember this, but I

83
00:03:54,160 --> 00:03:57,440
Speaker 1: actually do remember that. I think the last time I

84
00:03:57,440 --> 00:03:59,960
Speaker 1: ever was supposed to be on your show, I canceled

85
00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:02,760
Speaker 1: that the last second, like two minutes before I was

86
00:04:02,760 --> 00:04:03,520
Speaker 1: supposed to be on.

87
00:04:03,720 --> 00:04:04,920
Speaker 3: And I remember where I was.

88
00:04:04,960 --> 00:04:07,040
Speaker 1: I was in the newsroom in Culver City when I

89
00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:09,600
Speaker 1: was in middle management. Hell, it was like a five

90
00:04:09,680 --> 00:04:11,760
Speaker 1: year period where I realized I had to get out

91
00:04:11,800 --> 00:04:13,640
Speaker 1: of this job. And I actually remembered it, and I

92
00:04:13,720 --> 00:04:15,560
Speaker 1: flaked on you at the last second, And I hate

93
00:04:15,600 --> 00:04:17,719
Speaker 1: doing that to radio host, and at least in my head,

94
00:04:17,760 --> 00:04:19,600
Speaker 1: that was the last time I ever was going to

95
00:04:19,640 --> 00:04:21,160
Speaker 1: be on. I was like, oh, now I got on

96
00:04:21,160 --> 00:04:23,560
Speaker 1: that guy's list, and then what happened? He ended up

97
00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:25,640
Speaker 1: becoming a big national sup.

98
00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:28,920
Speaker 2: No, I listen, anybody that ever comes on for free

99
00:04:29,240 --> 00:04:31,000
Speaker 2: out of the kindness of their own heart. I never

100
00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:34,960
Speaker 2: get upset with the one rare exception of friend of mine,

101
00:04:34,960 --> 00:04:37,600
Speaker 2: so I can now say it. Seam Sheranio was once

102
00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:41,520
Speaker 2: midg mid interview with me on Mad Dog Sports Radio

103
00:04:41,920 --> 00:04:44,440
Speaker 2: mid interview and he's like, oh my, He's like, oh

104
00:04:44,440 --> 00:04:46,520
Speaker 2: my god, I'm sorry, I have to go breaking news,

105
00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:49,040
Speaker 2: and I'm like, oh, this is exciting. He's going to

106
00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:52,560
Speaker 2: break major news. And then I checked. Thirty seconds later

107
00:04:52,920 --> 00:04:57,240
Speaker 2: he tweets out that some second round pick signed a

108
00:04:57,279 --> 00:04:59,400
Speaker 2: two way contract. I'm like, you gotta be kidding me.

109
00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:02,520
Speaker 2: You gotta be kidding me. That is what took precedent.

110
00:05:02,600 --> 00:05:05,480
Speaker 2: That's the only one that I hold the grudge yours.

111
00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:08,360
Speaker 1: Those insiders are different. We had Ian Rappaport. He's done

112
00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:10,600
Speaker 1: that to us, did that on our own show to

113
00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:12,720
Speaker 1: us in the past. All Right, we're gonna get to

114
00:05:12,960 --> 00:05:16,280
Speaker 1: a lot today. We'll get to Nick of course has

115
00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:18,440
Speaker 1: been blessed to be a fan of the Chiefs, so

116
00:05:18,560 --> 00:05:20,320
Speaker 1: we'll get to them at some point in this program,

117
00:05:20,360 --> 00:05:22,280
Speaker 1: I'm sure. And of Carlos Alkrez, he was at the

118
00:05:22,400 --> 00:05:24,400
Speaker 1: US Open. We'll get to that. But I have a

119
00:05:24,440 --> 00:05:26,880
Speaker 1: structure here which we don't do in every show. It's

120
00:05:26,880 --> 00:05:29,640
Speaker 1: an AFC preview. We're gonna try to get a lot in.

121
00:05:29,839 --> 00:05:32,920
Speaker 1: We're gonna get our seven AFC seeds by the end

122
00:05:32,920 --> 00:05:34,280
Speaker 1: of this. But I'm just gonna throw out a few

123
00:05:34,279 --> 00:05:37,120
Speaker 1: categories to start. The first one is just a team

124
00:05:37,160 --> 00:05:41,599
Speaker 1: that's favored to make the playoffs that will rather a

125
00:05:41,640 --> 00:05:43,640
Speaker 1: team that's not favored to make the playoffs that will

126
00:05:43,640 --> 00:05:45,160
Speaker 1: make the playoffs. So first I'm gonna tell you who

127
00:05:45,279 --> 00:05:51,039
Speaker 1: is favored just in Vegas, Chiefs, Ravens, Bills, Texans, Bengals, Jets.

128
00:05:51,160 --> 00:05:52,960
Speaker 1: And then the last one I was a little surprised

129
00:05:53,040 --> 00:05:55,520
Speaker 1: is the Dolphins are this favor to be the seven seeds.

130
00:05:55,520 --> 00:05:58,080
Speaker 1: So who is a team that is not favored to

131
00:05:58,080 --> 00:05:58,640
Speaker 1: make the playoffs?

132
00:05:58,680 --> 00:06:01,360
Speaker 3: You would pick Jaggs.

133
00:06:01,560 --> 00:06:05,039
Speaker 2: To me, there's two and they're kind of there as well,

134
00:06:05,040 --> 00:06:10,240
Speaker 2: and are one of them Jags Chargers. So that's but

135
00:06:10,360 --> 00:06:14,080
Speaker 2: I think we'll maybe have different teams out now. Neither

136
00:06:14,160 --> 00:06:17,200
Speaker 2: of those are that bold because but I think if

137
00:06:17,240 --> 00:06:19,960
Speaker 2: we were to go down playoff odds, Jags, Chargers are

138
00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:23,400
Speaker 2: probably eight, nine or nine, you know, eight and ten.

139
00:06:23,480 --> 00:06:29,960
Speaker 2: They're close. It's not picking the Patriots or the the Titans,

140
00:06:30,040 --> 00:06:35,480
Speaker 2: the real low teams. But I just I am. My premise,

141
00:06:35,520 --> 00:06:38,640
Speaker 2: as you'll see throughout the show in the AFC, is

142
00:06:38,680 --> 00:06:45,080
Speaker 2: that I think there's so many excellent quarterbacks that that

143
00:06:45,320 --> 00:06:48,320
Speaker 2: is going to carry the day because if you don't

144
00:06:48,480 --> 00:06:53,680
Speaker 2: have an excellent quarterback, your thirteen conference games a year,

145
00:06:54,120 --> 00:06:56,120
Speaker 2: you're going to be or I guess twelve conference games

146
00:06:56,160 --> 00:06:59,640
Speaker 2: a year, you're going to be at such a structural disadvantage.

147
00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:04,440
Speaker 2: I'm and I still listen. I'm still a Trevor Lawrence believer. There,

148
00:07:04,720 --> 00:07:08,320
Speaker 2: you know, there is in one version of history, Trevor

149
00:07:08,360 --> 00:07:12,000
Speaker 2: Lawrence after a bad rookie season, had an awesome second year,

150
00:07:12,320 --> 00:07:14,920
Speaker 2: one of the greatest playoff comebacks ever, and then was

151
00:07:14,920 --> 00:07:17,320
Speaker 2: playing on Monday Night Football at eight and three to

152
00:07:17,360 --> 00:07:20,400
Speaker 2: be the one seed and got hurt and the season

153
00:07:20,440 --> 00:07:23,080
Speaker 2: went to hell. That's how I view it. Everyone else

154
00:07:23,120 --> 00:07:26,000
Speaker 2: seems to view it as they fell apart and Yes,

155
00:07:26,120 --> 00:07:28,520
Speaker 2: he doesn't seem to do well in the rain, which

156
00:07:28,560 --> 00:07:31,360
Speaker 2: is unfortunate when you play your games in Jacksonville and

157
00:07:31,400 --> 00:07:33,680
Speaker 2: in London. And he does have a bit of a

158
00:07:33,720 --> 00:07:37,760
Speaker 2: fumbling issue. But I still believe in Trevor and your show.

159
00:07:37,920 --> 00:07:40,120
Speaker 2: Is part of the reason I've been convinced on the

160
00:07:40,200 --> 00:07:42,960
Speaker 2: Chargers is you've just had so many people make the

161
00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:47,080
Speaker 2: point of the year one bump for Harbaugh everywhere he's

162
00:07:47,160 --> 00:07:51,840
Speaker 2: gone and so but I the Herbert injury concerns me.

163
00:07:52,280 --> 00:07:53,240
Speaker 2: But those are my two.

164
00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:57,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, Chargers were for me. I did not expect this.

165
00:07:57,560 --> 00:08:00,800
Speaker 1: Jaguars I debated between those two. It was just a

166
00:08:00,800 --> 00:08:05,480
Speaker 1: process of elimination, you know, Browns. I just don't expect

167
00:08:05,480 --> 00:08:07,520
Speaker 1: the defense to be as good. They got too many problems, like.

168
00:08:07,440 --> 00:08:10,600
Speaker 2: Can they might have a bottom three quarterback situation in

169
00:08:10,600 --> 00:08:11,400
Speaker 2: the AFC.

170
00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:14,400
Speaker 1: It's a it's a problem. They have backups. We'll see

171
00:08:14,400 --> 00:08:18,800
Speaker 1: if they trade one of them. But uh, Steelers, maybe

172
00:08:18,840 --> 00:08:20,880
Speaker 1: go if you had if I had done this in June,

173
00:08:20,920 --> 00:08:22,200
Speaker 1: Steelers might have been that team.

174
00:08:22,200 --> 00:08:24,400
Speaker 3: But just it's too messy. Uh.

175
00:08:24,440 --> 00:08:26,720
Speaker 1: And then the other teams are too far away that

176
00:08:26,880 --> 00:08:29,160
Speaker 1: the Chargers. I feel like people are predicting them to

177
00:08:29,200 --> 00:08:31,720
Speaker 1: be terrible this year. And yeah, I'm also someone that

178
00:08:31,760 --> 00:08:33,760
Speaker 1: doesn't try to make it too complicated before the season.

179
00:08:33,800 --> 00:08:34,880
Speaker 3: I'm usually a little bolder.

180
00:08:35,040 --> 00:08:37,240
Speaker 1: I think I will be with the NFC, But I

181
00:08:37,280 --> 00:08:39,599
Speaker 1: would rather just bet on a coach, a quarterback, and

182
00:08:39,679 --> 00:08:42,320
Speaker 1: an offensive line and a defensive scheme to raise you

183
00:08:42,400 --> 00:08:45,800
Speaker 1: to just be average. So Mina and I disagree vehemently

184
00:08:45,840 --> 00:08:47,560
Speaker 1: on this. She thinks they're going to be trash. We

185
00:08:47,600 --> 00:08:50,480
Speaker 1: have we have some line here. She thinks their defense

186
00:08:50,559 --> 00:08:53,360
Speaker 1: is going to truly be trash, and she just doesn't.

187
00:08:53,559 --> 00:08:56,760
Speaker 2: So here's this sneaky thing about the Chargers when it

188
00:08:56,800 --> 00:09:00,200
Speaker 2: comes to the AFC Western projections. There's two things that

189
00:09:00,240 --> 00:09:03,040
Speaker 2: I think people know one of them and are kind

190
00:09:03,080 --> 00:09:04,920
Speaker 2: of maybe know the other, but I haven't thought about it.

191
00:09:05,240 --> 00:09:07,720
Speaker 2: The Chargers, despite being in a division with the Raiders

192
00:09:07,760 --> 00:09:11,400
Speaker 2: and Broncos, have the last place schedule, and that is

193
00:09:11,480 --> 00:09:15,520
Speaker 2: such an edge. And amazingly, the Raiders have a second

194
00:09:15,520 --> 00:09:18,600
Speaker 2: place schedule this year, So anyone wanting to be bullish

195
00:09:18,679 --> 00:09:21,839
Speaker 2: on the Raiders, the Raiders did themselves no favors by

196
00:09:21,880 --> 00:09:24,520
Speaker 2: beating the Chiefs on Christmas, and that you know it's

197
00:09:24,520 --> 00:09:26,240
Speaker 2: actually the last game the Chiefs have lost, so it's

198
00:09:26,240 --> 00:09:28,560
Speaker 2: not that bad, but all of a sudden they have

199
00:09:28,600 --> 00:09:31,160
Speaker 2: a second place schedule, So that makes that makes me

200
00:09:31,320 --> 00:09:32,880
Speaker 2: much more bullish on the Chargers.

201
00:09:32,600 --> 00:09:35,760
Speaker 1: Than I'm glad you mentioned that, because you know, sometimes

202
00:09:35,760 --> 00:09:37,480
Speaker 1: people overrate that last place schedule.

203
00:09:37,480 --> 00:09:39,480
Speaker 3: It's like it used to just be two games, but

204
00:09:39,559 --> 00:09:41,800
Speaker 3: now it's three. Now it's three in the NFC.

205
00:09:41,920 --> 00:09:44,800
Speaker 1: But it also depends which NFC and which happened to

206
00:09:44,800 --> 00:09:46,960
Speaker 1: be the last place seam for the Chargers this year.

207
00:09:47,120 --> 00:09:51,600
Speaker 1: Here's the three extra games, Pats, Titans, Cardinals. That's beautiful,

208
00:09:51,760 --> 00:09:52,960
Speaker 1: Like that's I'm.

209
00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:56,720
Speaker 2: Unbelievable, and they think about the Raiders, sorry to interrupt you.

210
00:09:57,000 --> 00:10:00,319
Speaker 2: That means for the Raiders, it's in the play of

211
00:10:00,360 --> 00:10:03,640
Speaker 2: the Pats, it's the Dolphins. In place of the Cardinals,

212
00:10:03,679 --> 00:10:06,840
Speaker 2: it's the Rams, and in place of the Titans, it

213
00:10:06,880 --> 00:10:10,280
Speaker 2: would be the Jags, right, I think they finished second

214
00:10:10,360 --> 00:10:13,080
Speaker 2: or no, the Colts. It's the Colts there because they played,

215
00:10:13,320 --> 00:10:17,240
Speaker 2: but regardless, like that's a huge difference. It's a huge difference.

216
00:10:17,120 --> 00:10:18,080
Speaker 3: It really is.

217
00:10:18,840 --> 00:10:21,000
Speaker 1: I think people overrate that sometimes, not this time, so

218
00:10:21,080 --> 00:10:23,200
Speaker 1: I'm into that. I've been a team that is favored

219
00:10:23,240 --> 00:10:29,839
Speaker 1: to make the playoffs that won't And I mentioned Chiefs, Ravens, Bills, Texans, Bengals, Jets, Dolphins.

220
00:10:30,320 --> 00:10:33,200
Speaker 2: So there's obviously, since I have two in, I have

221
00:10:33,240 --> 00:10:35,000
Speaker 2: to have two out. But I'll give you the one

222
00:10:35,040 --> 00:10:38,200
Speaker 2: that I'm most competent in. The Jets are not going

223
00:10:38,280 --> 00:10:46,040
Speaker 2: to be good. I just I don't I don't understand.

224
00:10:46,559 --> 00:10:48,400
Speaker 2: This is one of those things where I'm like, oh,

225
00:10:48,480 --> 00:10:51,240
Speaker 2: this is a smart person whose opinion I respect. I

226
00:10:51,360 --> 00:10:54,080
Speaker 2: wonder why they're so wrong about this. And there's a

227
00:10:54,120 --> 00:10:59,040
Speaker 2: lot of with the Jets. They they're favored to win

228
00:10:59,040 --> 00:11:02,240
Speaker 2: the division. Robert Usually to win the division, you have

229
00:11:02,280 --> 00:11:04,200
Speaker 2: to go at least four and two or five and

230
00:11:04,280 --> 00:11:07,040
Speaker 2: one in the division. If the Jets go four and

231
00:11:07,080 --> 00:11:10,320
Speaker 2: two in the division, Robert Salo will have doubled his

232
00:11:10,360 --> 00:11:13,640
Speaker 2: career division wins. For his career, He's four and fourteen.

233
00:11:14,120 --> 00:11:18,760
Speaker 2: They have an offensive coordinator that they tried to shadow

234
00:11:18,840 --> 00:11:21,800
Speaker 2: replace because they thought he was so bad and they

235
00:11:21,800 --> 00:11:26,600
Speaker 2: were too incompetent to do that. And even if we

236
00:11:26,600 --> 00:11:30,800
Speaker 2: were to just pretend that Aaron Rodgers didn't tear his achilles,

237
00:11:31,120 --> 00:11:33,880
Speaker 2: let's just pretend last year instead of being out with

238
00:11:33,920 --> 00:11:37,160
Speaker 2: the torn achilles, he was out because he was canvassing

239
00:11:37,200 --> 00:11:40,680
Speaker 2: for RFK Junior. Fine, then I'd still be like, well,

240
00:11:41,120 --> 00:11:45,240
Speaker 2: his last season before that, he wasn't good, and people

241
00:11:45,240 --> 00:11:48,200
Speaker 2: are like, no, he just wasn't good by Aaron Rodgers standards,

242
00:11:48,240 --> 00:11:50,319
Speaker 2: but he was good by NFL standards. No, he wasn't.

243
00:11:50,679 --> 00:11:55,040
Speaker 2: Look it up, he was league average in everything. Well,

244
00:11:55,080 --> 00:11:56,640
Speaker 2: who could have won with that team? I don't know.

245
00:11:56,679 --> 00:12:00,480
Speaker 2: Jordan Love played pretty well and in the final, in

246
00:12:00,559 --> 00:12:04,240
Speaker 2: the last game of relevance that Aaron Rodgers played, he

247
00:12:04,400 --> 00:12:07,480
Speaker 2: was at home against a team he had owned forever,

248
00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:10,280
Speaker 2: played one of his worst games of the year and

249
00:12:10,320 --> 00:12:13,120
Speaker 2: threw the game away at the end. So that guy

250
00:12:13,840 --> 00:12:17,439
Speaker 2: is all of a sudden going to be the connective

251
00:12:17,440 --> 00:12:21,280
Speaker 2: tissue and the best, not the best, but a very

252
00:12:21,280 --> 00:12:25,320
Speaker 2: good quarterback. Like I just it's people. Everyone who doesn't

253
00:12:25,320 --> 00:12:28,280
Speaker 2: believe in the Jets says, while injuries could kill him,

254
00:12:28,320 --> 00:12:33,000
Speaker 2: obviously that's true. I think even healthy, they have average

255
00:12:33,280 --> 00:12:35,280
Speaker 2: They have average quarterback play this year.

256
00:12:35,920 --> 00:12:38,280
Speaker 3: I think you might be right, and they're on my

257
00:12:38,360 --> 00:12:38,760
Speaker 3: list too.

258
00:12:38,800 --> 00:12:40,760
Speaker 1: They're one of those teams that, again, if I did

259
00:12:40,760 --> 00:12:42,880
Speaker 1: this earlier, I agree with everything you just said about

260
00:12:42,920 --> 00:12:44,600
Speaker 1: Rogers and the Jets, and I do this thing that

261
00:12:44,720 --> 00:12:45,120
Speaker 1: I know.

262
00:12:46,840 --> 00:12:47,360
Speaker 3: I'm a hater.

263
00:12:47,600 --> 00:12:50,240
Speaker 1: Basically, I'm a little biased against the Jets, so I

264
00:12:50,280 --> 00:12:53,120
Speaker 1: almost try to like pretend I'm not and make the

265
00:12:53,160 --> 00:12:55,080
Speaker 1: case for them in the end, But when it comes

266
00:12:55,120 --> 00:12:57,480
Speaker 1: down to it, I don't believe in them. They have

267
00:12:57,559 --> 00:12:59,480
Speaker 1: so many aspects of the team, even if you take

268
00:12:59,480 --> 00:13:01,840
Speaker 1: away Rogers that I'm with you, I'd start with Rogers.

269
00:13:02,040 --> 00:13:05,360
Speaker 1: But who's their second best defensive lineman after Leonard Williams.

270
00:13:05,440 --> 00:13:09,440
Speaker 1: Robert Salah counts on a great defensive line to help them.

271
00:13:09,720 --> 00:13:11,600
Speaker 1: They were counting on Hassan Redick. I don't know how

272
00:13:11,640 --> 00:13:14,000
Speaker 1: that's gonna happen, but at this point I'd almost be

273
00:13:14,040 --> 00:13:16,439
Speaker 1: surprised if he plays with them. Jermaine Johnson is maybe

274
00:13:16,480 --> 00:13:18,719
Speaker 1: their second best. They're county on Javon Kinler, like Tac

275
00:13:18,800 --> 00:13:21,200
Speaker 1: McKinley's in the mix. So there's so many ifs with

276
00:13:21,240 --> 00:13:25,199
Speaker 1: this team. On their offensive line, their defensive line, obviously Rogers,

277
00:13:25,240 --> 00:13:27,640
Speaker 1: Tyron Smith. I know they have backups in certain places,

278
00:13:27,640 --> 00:13:30,080
Speaker 1: but it's just so many ifs. All in a season

279
00:13:30,080 --> 00:13:33,080
Speaker 1: where they're a GM and their coach both knows they're

280
00:13:33,080 --> 00:13:34,680
Speaker 1: going to be fired if it doesn't go well.

281
00:13:34,720 --> 00:13:35,360
Speaker 3: So that's too much.

282
00:13:35,440 --> 00:13:37,040
Speaker 1: I think they'll be okay and they'll stay in the

283
00:13:37,080 --> 00:13:39,840
Speaker 1: mix and they'll be dramatic. But they were on my

284
00:13:39,920 --> 00:13:41,839
Speaker 1: list too. They were the one I was going to

285
00:13:41,880 --> 00:13:43,600
Speaker 1: talk about. But I had two teams out too, so

286
00:13:43,640 --> 00:13:45,560
Speaker 1: I also, by the way, we'll throw in the Dolphins

287
00:13:45,600 --> 00:13:49,719
Speaker 1: just because offensive line, defensive line, the edges coming off

288
00:13:49,760 --> 00:13:50,880
Speaker 1: injury just a little too much.

289
00:13:51,240 --> 00:13:54,719
Speaker 2: So we're gonna this is I promise, because I went

290
00:13:54,760 --> 00:13:57,240
Speaker 2: through your producer did a brilliant job, sent me a

291
00:13:57,280 --> 00:14:00,440
Speaker 2: really thorough rundown, so I know what's coming and I

292
00:14:00,520 --> 00:14:03,439
Speaker 2: anticipate we're gonna have more disagreements later. But we have

293
00:14:03,520 --> 00:14:06,280
Speaker 2: the same two out, the same team, the Dolls and

294
00:14:06,320 --> 00:14:10,080
Speaker 2: the Dolphins. Can I give I don't know. Can I

295
00:14:10,080 --> 00:14:10,880
Speaker 2: give a quick Dolphins?

296
00:14:10,960 --> 00:14:12,000
Speaker 3: Yeah? You can do whatever you are.

297
00:14:12,440 --> 00:14:16,160
Speaker 2: You know this is the year, so I have uh.

298
00:14:17,480 --> 00:14:20,480
Speaker 2: I like Mike McDaniel. I think he's sharp. I think

299
00:14:20,480 --> 00:14:25,440
Speaker 2: he's a good coach. I also personally have graded him

300
00:14:25,960 --> 00:14:28,280
Speaker 2: in Miami on a bit of a curve. The curve

301
00:14:28,400 --> 00:14:30,720
Speaker 2: being man, look at what he's doing with Tua, who

302
00:14:30,720 --> 00:14:34,840
Speaker 2: I think is a limited player. The moment he signed

303
00:14:34,880 --> 00:14:38,440
Speaker 2: off on them giving to a fifty three million, I

304
00:14:38,640 --> 00:14:41,040
Speaker 2: made a decision. In my head, I'm removing that curve.

305
00:14:41,680 --> 00:14:46,520
Speaker 2: Like now now you you are telling the world that

306
00:14:46,600 --> 00:14:50,040
Speaker 2: you think this guy's top light quarterback, and you can

307
00:14:50,080 --> 00:14:52,600
Speaker 2: say it wasn't his decision whatever. That's so in my

308
00:14:52,680 --> 00:14:56,440
Speaker 2: head now it's like, no, now you're graded the way people.

309
00:14:56,520 --> 00:14:58,920
Speaker 1: Great is his decision though, it was like he showed

310
00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:00,760
Speaker 1: up there and he made it, and he's made that work.

311
00:15:00,920 --> 00:15:02,960
Speaker 1: Weirdly too is kind of the least, not the least

312
00:15:03,000 --> 00:15:05,840
Speaker 1: of my concerns. But Mike McDaniel tua as a combo

313
00:15:06,000 --> 00:15:08,520
Speaker 1: to me, that works, that works to be a playoff team.

314
00:15:09,560 --> 00:15:10,200
Speaker 3: It's everything.

315
00:15:10,440 --> 00:15:12,320
Speaker 1: There's other things I think he I'm great amount of

316
00:15:12,320 --> 00:15:14,800
Speaker 1: curve because he's a Dolphins coach, very similar to anyone

317
00:15:14,840 --> 00:15:19,440
Speaker 1: who's a Jets coach. I just feel like, organizationally, there's

318
00:15:19,480 --> 00:15:21,240
Speaker 1: a reason why these teams haven't won.

319
00:15:21,560 --> 00:15:24,880
Speaker 2: And I just I think that, Uh. I think that

320
00:15:25,240 --> 00:15:29,160
Speaker 2: your point on the defense is a great one. I also,

321
00:15:29,520 --> 00:15:32,000
Speaker 2: I know this is called NFL Daily, but I think

322
00:15:32,040 --> 00:15:35,560
Speaker 2: if it had a subtitle, it might be called you

323
00:15:35,560 --> 00:15:40,160
Speaker 2: know where, the regular OBJ Report. I really appreciate that

324
00:15:40,200 --> 00:15:42,760
Speaker 2: you've covered that story when the rest of the media

325
00:15:42,920 --> 00:15:44,320
Speaker 2: you're in my You're in.

326
00:15:44,240 --> 00:15:48,240
Speaker 1: My head though, because I realized after doing the Cutdown

327
00:15:48,320 --> 00:15:50,360
Speaker 1: Day show with So it's like, why why am I

328
00:15:50,480 --> 00:15:51,240
Speaker 1: leading with OBJ?

329
00:15:51,360 --> 00:15:52,840
Speaker 3: I just keep talking about OBJ.

330
00:15:52,960 --> 00:15:54,240
Speaker 2: I think it's interesting.

331
00:15:54,400 --> 00:15:58,280
Speaker 1: It's my old blogger mentality from around the NFL days

332
00:15:58,320 --> 00:16:00,400
Speaker 1: that it's like, well, you got to lead with Terrell,

333
00:16:00,480 --> 00:16:03,680
Speaker 1: Pryor or OBJ because everyone's into it, like they really

334
00:16:03,680 --> 00:16:04,520
Speaker 1: do sell you know.

335
00:16:04,680 --> 00:16:05,160
Speaker 3: But it is.

336
00:16:05,240 --> 00:16:07,760
Speaker 2: But I guess the point that the point I'm making

337
00:16:07,880 --> 00:16:10,960
Speaker 2: is your while it has maybe been a little more

338
00:16:11,080 --> 00:16:14,240
Speaker 2: focused than I would have expected for the whole league.

339
00:16:14,440 --> 00:16:18,240
Speaker 2: Your point that they signed him because they expected they

340
00:16:18,920 --> 00:16:20,560
Speaker 2: I don't want to say they needed him because they

341
00:16:20,560 --> 00:16:23,720
Speaker 2: have Tyreek and Waddell. But the offense they want to run,

342
00:16:23,760 --> 00:16:25,520
Speaker 2: they want to have three guys out there, and they

343
00:16:25,600 --> 00:16:28,640
Speaker 2: want to threaten the defense in those ways. And I

344
00:16:28,680 --> 00:16:33,360
Speaker 2: think it's on the board he plays. Let me set

345
00:16:33,400 --> 00:16:37,440
Speaker 2: it like this, I am a gambler. If you set

346
00:16:37,440 --> 00:16:41,880
Speaker 2: his over under for catches as a dolphin at twenty

347
00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:44,640
Speaker 2: four and a half, I would say, I think that's

348
00:16:44,680 --> 00:16:45,360
Speaker 2: a good number.

349
00:16:45,840 --> 00:16:48,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, I agree, that's about right. I was expecting you

350
00:16:48,280 --> 00:16:49,800
Speaker 1: to say something in the thirties, and I was going.

351
00:16:49,800 --> 00:16:50,200
Speaker 3: To go under.

352
00:16:50,240 --> 00:16:52,640
Speaker 1: But twenty four is about right. Yeah, all right, let's

353
00:16:52,640 --> 00:16:55,960
Speaker 1: go best division race. Just just pick one, which one?

354
00:16:56,080 --> 00:16:57,280
Speaker 3: Which one? You're to me?

355
00:16:57,960 --> 00:17:02,760
Speaker 2: The this is It depends on how you slice it.

356
00:17:03,320 --> 00:17:06,440
Speaker 2: If you want a division where I think three teams

357
00:17:07,040 --> 00:17:11,159
Speaker 2: theoretically could win it, I would say the South. But

358
00:17:11,280 --> 00:17:14,480
Speaker 2: I think the best division races the North because I

359
00:17:14,480 --> 00:17:17,280
Speaker 2: think the Bengals are going to be excellent and I

360
00:17:17,280 --> 00:17:20,000
Speaker 2: think the Ravens are going to One of the things

361
00:17:20,000 --> 00:17:23,879
Speaker 2: that I've tried to hammer on the TV show is

362
00:17:23,960 --> 00:17:28,240
Speaker 2: that during the year, when a team surprises or a

363
00:17:28,280 --> 00:17:33,120
Speaker 2: team's doing well, we always be like, man that coordinator.

364
00:17:33,400 --> 00:17:37,360
Speaker 2: We give a lot of credit to coordinators when it's happening.

365
00:17:38,160 --> 00:17:42,480
Speaker 2: Bobby Slowick, the guy in Detroit. Sorry that everybody loves

366
00:17:42,840 --> 00:17:45,640
Speaker 2: Ben Ben Johnson, you know what I mean. Last year,

367
00:17:45,680 --> 00:17:49,680
Speaker 2: Mike mcdonaldo back in the day, Louis Arumo up until

368
00:17:49,720 --> 00:17:52,879
Speaker 2: last season, Spags in Kansas City. We always do it

369
00:17:53,359 --> 00:17:58,119
Speaker 2: when those guys leave, though it totally removes from our analysis.

370
00:17:58,119 --> 00:18:02,600
Speaker 2: We forget like it when last year nobody went said

371
00:18:02,640 --> 00:18:06,080
Speaker 2: about the Eagles, man, they're gonna miss Shane Stiken. But

372
00:18:06,359 --> 00:18:09,040
Speaker 2: during the year when they were awesome people are like

373
00:18:09,119 --> 00:18:13,879
Speaker 2: Shane Stiken. So that's part of my not that I

374
00:18:13,920 --> 00:18:15,879
Speaker 2: think the Ravens are gonna be bad, but part of

375
00:18:15,920 --> 00:18:19,440
Speaker 2: my Ravens analysis is I think they're gonna miss Mike McDonald.

376
00:18:19,800 --> 00:18:22,440
Speaker 2: You had, You had so many guys who I thought

377
00:18:22,480 --> 00:18:25,240
Speaker 2: were near the end of their career or just you know,

378
00:18:25,440 --> 00:18:29,919
Speaker 2: middling players be monsters, and that to me is usually scheme.

379
00:18:30,480 --> 00:18:33,800
Speaker 2: And so I think that the Ravens come down a bit,

380
00:18:34,080 --> 00:18:36,520
Speaker 2: the Bengals come up a bit, and I think that

381
00:18:36,720 --> 00:18:39,679
Speaker 2: is a division race that will come down to the

382
00:18:39,680 --> 00:18:42,840
Speaker 2: final week of the year and be massive, because that's

383
00:18:42,880 --> 00:18:45,400
Speaker 2: the type of one where the winner of that can

384
00:18:45,480 --> 00:18:48,359
Speaker 2: end up the two seed and then obviously the losers

385
00:18:48,359 --> 00:18:50,640
Speaker 2: on the road the whole playoffs. So that's the one

386
00:18:50,680 --> 00:18:53,000
Speaker 2: I'm most interested in. That's probably the most important one.

387
00:18:53,000 --> 00:18:54,720
Speaker 1: You're right, just from a who's gonna win the super

388
00:18:54,760 --> 00:18:56,720
Speaker 1: Bowl perspective, because I think they'd be on the short

389
00:18:56,760 --> 00:18:59,080
Speaker 1: list we did. We did a power rankings a couple

390
00:18:59,119 --> 00:19:01,000
Speaker 1: of days ago, and they were both near the top,

391
00:19:01,040 --> 00:19:03,440
Speaker 1: so that makes sense to me. I'm also just curious

392
00:19:03,600 --> 00:19:05,520
Speaker 1: will it be like the haves and the have nots

393
00:19:05,520 --> 00:19:07,720
Speaker 1: in that division? I went with AFC South though to me,

394
00:19:07,800 --> 00:19:12,320
Speaker 1: because I do think the Colts, like their ceiling is

395
00:19:12,400 --> 00:19:15,240
Speaker 1: just much higher than people give credit for, I can't

396
00:19:15,320 --> 00:19:16,240
Speaker 1: go all the way there.

397
00:19:16,280 --> 00:19:17,720
Speaker 3: I still like the Texans better.

398
00:19:18,160 --> 00:19:21,159
Speaker 1: And yet if I think, if you play this season

399
00:19:21,200 --> 00:19:24,679
Speaker 1: out ten times, like there's a few scenarios where the

400
00:19:24,680 --> 00:19:27,480
Speaker 1: Colts are the two seed with thirteen wins, twelve wins,

401
00:19:27,480 --> 00:19:29,560
Speaker 1: and I don't think people really like see them that

402
00:19:29,560 --> 00:19:31,159
Speaker 1: way because I don't see why they wouldn't have that

403
00:19:31,240 --> 00:19:35,919
Speaker 1: high of an upside because the defensive line is nasty,

404
00:19:35,960 --> 00:19:38,600
Speaker 1: it's just it's exciting. The defense could be a legitimately

405
00:19:38,600 --> 00:19:41,080
Speaker 1: exciting defense because of their front, they have some continuity,

406
00:19:41,359 --> 00:19:43,600
Speaker 1: and the offensive line's fantastic. And again I always feel

407
00:19:43,600 --> 00:19:46,000
Speaker 1: like which teams are the best on the lines plus

408
00:19:46,000 --> 00:19:49,239
Speaker 1: a quarterback plus a coach, Like, to me, they're up

409
00:19:49,240 --> 00:19:51,200
Speaker 1: there with the Texans. Now, I kind of don't see

410
00:19:51,200 --> 00:19:54,520
Speaker 1: that scenario happening. Richardson's probably going to be two up

411
00:19:54,520 --> 00:19:57,200
Speaker 1: and down the divisions tough. But you throw in the Jags,

412
00:19:57,240 --> 00:20:00,280
Speaker 1: who yeah, I couldn't quite get there. As know that

413
00:20:00,359 --> 00:20:02,560
Speaker 1: the team as my last playoff team, But I do

414
00:20:02,600 --> 00:20:05,119
Speaker 1: think all three of those teams have really good quarterbacks

415
00:20:05,119 --> 00:20:07,680
Speaker 1: and they're really talented, and that it's it's a breath

416
00:20:07,720 --> 00:20:09,640
Speaker 1: of fresh air to have an AFC South that I'm

417
00:20:09,680 --> 00:20:11,080
Speaker 1: totally into watching every game.

418
00:20:11,119 --> 00:20:16,080
Speaker 2: I almost feel cliche though, because I agree with you

419
00:20:16,200 --> 00:20:20,640
Speaker 2: entirely about the optimism about Richardson, but it does feel

420
00:20:21,400 --> 00:20:24,960
Speaker 2: I am aware of my own biases and so like all,

421
00:20:25,359 --> 00:20:29,399
Speaker 2: if someone were like, be Nick, you're starting an NFL team,

422
00:20:29,800 --> 00:20:34,320
Speaker 2: you can pick between these three quarterbacks, Tua Tongue of Iiloa,

423
00:20:34,400 --> 00:20:36,800
Speaker 2: who has led the league in passing and put up

424
00:20:36,840 --> 00:20:40,720
Speaker 2: amazing numbers, Brock Perdy, who's been to an NFC championship

425
00:20:40,720 --> 00:20:42,359
Speaker 2: game in a super Bowl and it's the highest passer

426
00:20:42,400 --> 00:20:46,240
Speaker 2: rating NFL history, or Anthony Richardson, who's played nine quarters

427
00:20:46,240 --> 00:20:49,880
Speaker 2: of pro football. I'd be like, you know, I'll take

428
00:20:49,920 --> 00:20:54,560
Speaker 2: the big, strong guy. And so I recognize that there

429
00:20:54,720 --> 00:20:56,760
Speaker 2: is it just it feels to me like he is

430
00:20:56,880 --> 00:21:00,480
Speaker 2: such upside that it's exciting, but it is. He was

431
00:21:00,840 --> 00:21:03,320
Speaker 2: felt like a bit of an unknown at Florida, and

432
00:21:03,359 --> 00:21:06,520
Speaker 2: now a year into the NFL what we saw was enticing.

433
00:21:06,560 --> 00:21:09,320
Speaker 2: But yeah, those were were those were the two divisions

434
00:21:09,359 --> 00:21:10,960
Speaker 2: I was thinking about. So I'm with you on a

435
00:21:10,960 --> 00:21:11,200
Speaker 2: lot of that.

436
00:21:11,320 --> 00:21:13,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, the ceiling is also partly on Stich and that

437
00:21:13,560 --> 00:21:16,760
Speaker 1: he I mean he made it work pass away minshow

438
00:21:16,920 --> 00:21:20,600
Speaker 1: minshew Yeah right, and if they really, if if Richardson

439
00:21:20,600 --> 00:21:22,520
Speaker 1: can stay healthy and they just lean into the run

440
00:21:22,600 --> 00:21:24,919
Speaker 1: eagle style like they could be dangerous. All Right, we're

441
00:21:24,920 --> 00:21:27,080
Speaker 1: gonna take a quick break. We're gonna be back. We're

442
00:21:27,119 --> 00:21:29,159
Speaker 1: gonna predict the number one seed. We'll get to all

443
00:21:29,160 --> 00:21:40,919
Speaker 1: the playoff rankings in just a second. All right, we

444
00:21:40,960 --> 00:21:44,080
Speaker 1: are back on NFL Daily, and we've reached the portion

445
00:21:44,280 --> 00:21:46,720
Speaker 1: of the program where Nick admits his own biases.

446
00:21:46,760 --> 00:21:48,720
Speaker 3: That's that he knows his own biases, and we'll have

447
00:21:48,800 --> 00:21:52,320
Speaker 3: to test that. I don't know if we really can

448
00:21:52,359 --> 00:21:54,000
Speaker 3: be sure that, but I have to admit it.

449
00:21:54,040 --> 00:21:56,800
Speaker 1: I would not be biased if you say what I

450
00:21:56,800 --> 00:21:58,639
Speaker 1: think you're gonna say to my next question, which is

451
00:21:58,640 --> 00:22:03,119
Speaker 1: who's the number one seed? I mean, it's how lucky

452
00:22:03,320 --> 00:22:06,479
Speaker 1: are you not just to be a Chiefs fan, but

453
00:22:06,560 --> 00:22:09,160
Speaker 1: to be where you are and to be a Chiefs fan?

454
00:22:10,400 --> 00:22:13,600
Speaker 1: How much of your success is because of Patrick Mahomes directly?

455
00:22:14,000 --> 00:22:16,760
Speaker 2: So this is no So this is this is a

456
00:22:16,800 --> 00:22:19,639
Speaker 2: great If I may talk about myself for a moment

457
00:22:20,119 --> 00:22:23,440
Speaker 2: because people there is there is a narrative out there

458
00:22:24,080 --> 00:22:27,359
Speaker 2: in some corners of the Internet that I owe my

459
00:22:27,920 --> 00:22:33,600
Speaker 2: success to the two greatest American athletes ever, Lebron James

460
00:22:33,600 --> 00:22:36,600
Speaker 2: and Patrick Mahomes, Like, oh, you just said these guys

461
00:22:36,600 --> 00:22:42,280
Speaker 2: are awesome a lot. Now you have a TV show, Michael, Oh,

462
00:22:42,560 --> 00:22:45,720
Speaker 2: you don't get me started on swimming gold medals? How

463
00:22:45,760 --> 00:22:48,960
Speaker 2: many would you say Balds have if they're like I.

464
00:22:49,000 --> 00:22:52,280
Speaker 3: Don't, okay, thank you, I don't believe that.

465
00:22:53,040 --> 00:22:58,840
Speaker 2: Okay. So now, and what I would say is we

466
00:22:59,119 --> 00:23:10,000
Speaker 2: have this incredibly populated sports media, sports take landscape, and

467
00:23:10,280 --> 00:23:16,119
Speaker 2: everyone is at different times fighting over the same corners

468
00:23:16,720 --> 00:23:20,760
Speaker 2: you have. And for the Lebron thing, I was just

469
00:23:20,920 --> 00:23:24,560
Speaker 2: fortunate enough to see earlier than most like, oh, it's

470
00:23:24,600 --> 00:23:27,240
Speaker 2: not is he going to be better than Jordan? He

471
00:23:27,359 --> 00:23:29,480
Speaker 2: already is. So I said that a bunch and then

472
00:23:29,520 --> 00:23:31,720
Speaker 2: it's like, hey, he's the Lebron guy. I'm like, okay, cool,

473
00:23:31,760 --> 00:23:33,720
Speaker 2: I'll take it. And then the guy never retires, so

474
00:23:33,760 --> 00:23:38,800
Speaker 2: it helps. I'm from Kansas City. I was at the

475
00:23:38,880 --> 00:23:43,640
Speaker 2: Lynne Elliott game as a child getting frostbite. I had

476
00:23:44,680 --> 00:23:50,040
Speaker 2: my first foray into media was being Nick the kid

477
00:23:50,160 --> 00:23:53,960
Speaker 2: on Bill Grigsby's post game call in show at ten

478
00:23:54,040 --> 00:23:57,359
Speaker 2: years old, calling in from the parking lot after every

479
00:23:57,359 --> 00:23:57,880
Speaker 2: home game.

480
00:23:58,240 --> 00:24:01,200
Speaker 1: I really, yes, that's it's not too early to get

481
00:24:01,200 --> 00:24:01,960
Speaker 1: Walker in the middle.

482
00:24:02,560 --> 00:24:03,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, there you go.

483
00:24:03,760 --> 00:24:10,120
Speaker 2: I I remind people that I was born in nineteen

484
00:24:10,200 --> 00:24:16,960
Speaker 2: eighty four and the first quarterback in my lifetime drafted

485
00:24:17,000 --> 00:24:20,000
Speaker 2: in my lifetime to win a drafted by the Chiefs

486
00:24:20,000 --> 00:24:22,320
Speaker 2: in my lifetime to win a game for the Chiefs

487
00:24:22,760 --> 00:24:26,439
Speaker 2: was Patrick Mahomes. They had not had a quarterback they

488
00:24:26,520 --> 00:24:31,840
Speaker 2: drafted win a game from my birth to nineteen eighty four,

489
00:24:31,880 --> 00:24:33,679
Speaker 2: because black Ledge was the last one to do it.

490
00:24:33,720 --> 00:24:37,480
Speaker 2: He was drafting eighty three. So this idea that like, oh,

491
00:24:37,520 --> 00:24:40,280
Speaker 2: it's been this blessed life of the Chiefs fan is.

492
00:24:40,280 --> 00:24:41,520
Speaker 3: No, it's not a blessed life.

493
00:24:41,560 --> 00:24:44,200
Speaker 1: It's just that the rise of Mahomes happened to coach

494
00:24:44,440 --> 00:24:46,399
Speaker 1: now and you've enjoyed it.

495
00:24:46,680 --> 00:24:49,520
Speaker 2: So now, to get back to the sports take point

496
00:24:49,560 --> 00:24:55,320
Speaker 2: I was making, I did have the wherewithal to recognize hmmm,

497
00:24:56,600 --> 00:25:00,880
Speaker 2: seems like in my business, the sports national sports television business,

498
00:25:01,640 --> 00:25:05,560
Speaker 2: everyone is fighting over the same corner, and it's the

499
00:25:05,600 --> 00:25:09,320
Speaker 2: Cowboys corner. So what if I just say, you know

500
00:25:09,400 --> 00:25:14,960
Speaker 2: what you know, Unlike Marlow's Stanfield, I don't want all

501
00:25:14,960 --> 00:25:18,480
Speaker 2: the corners. You guys have that one, and I will

502
00:25:18,640 --> 00:25:23,320
Speaker 2: fortify the Chiefs corner and make it very clear that's

503
00:25:23,440 --> 00:25:26,520
Speaker 2: my god dang corner and no one can take it.

504
00:25:27,200 --> 00:25:31,520
Speaker 2: And then they ended up becoming the greatest Dinos. Well

505
00:25:31,560 --> 00:25:34,560
Speaker 2: they will, sorry to your patriots here in about five

506
00:25:34,600 --> 00:25:37,240
Speaker 2: months when they win their third strade Super Bowl, the

507
00:25:37,240 --> 00:25:40,280
Speaker 2: greatest dynasty ever. And I just get to be along

508
00:25:40,359 --> 00:25:43,920
Speaker 2: for the ride. So that's all. That's all that it is.

509
00:25:45,119 --> 00:25:47,399
Speaker 3: I mean, yeah, you're not the only one on that corner.

510
00:25:47,520 --> 00:25:49,440
Speaker 1: I mean, in fairness, And if you go back and

511
00:25:49,480 --> 00:25:52,280
Speaker 1: listen to the Round the NFL podcast back in the day,

512
00:25:52,320 --> 00:25:56,920
Speaker 1: we were debating, like hell before the Chiefs won their

513
00:25:56,920 --> 00:26:01,359
Speaker 1: first Super Bowl on this podcast, is Patrick Mahomes the

514
00:26:01,400 --> 00:26:06,760
Speaker 1: greatest quarterback I've ever seen? Literally, And it was before

515
00:26:06,800 --> 00:26:09,359
Speaker 1: he even won his first Super Bowl? And I was

516
00:26:09,400 --> 00:26:10,679
Speaker 1: in that argument. I was just like, well, you can

517
00:26:10,760 --> 00:26:13,600
Speaker 1: only judge them on what we've seen. The first two

518
00:26:13,640 --> 00:26:17,520
Speaker 1: seasons are the greatest two seasons I've ever seen, easily,

519
00:26:17,960 --> 00:26:20,320
Speaker 1: And the only other person that could possibly be in

520
00:26:20,359 --> 00:26:23,520
Speaker 1: contention would be Dan Marino, and I don't feel I

521
00:26:23,560 --> 00:26:26,520
Speaker 1: can speak to it as much. But through two seasons,

522
00:26:26,600 --> 00:26:31,439
Speaker 1: he's the greatest quarterback I've ever seen. And yeah, he

523
00:26:31,480 --> 00:26:33,760
Speaker 1: had a lot of pushback then and then after year three,

524
00:26:33,880 --> 00:26:35,920
Speaker 1: this is the greatest quarterback we've ever seen. After year four,

525
00:26:36,000 --> 00:26:37,960
Speaker 1: like I've said that throughout, you know, we got to

526
00:26:38,080 --> 00:26:40,280
Speaker 1: cover all thirty two teams, it also gets annoyed and

527
00:26:40,520 --> 00:26:41,760
Speaker 1: it almost becomes obvious.

528
00:26:41,760 --> 00:26:45,080
Speaker 3: So I don't think I don't think you can question

529
00:26:45,160 --> 00:26:45,640
Speaker 3: it that much.

530
00:26:45,680 --> 00:26:48,880
Speaker 1: This season's interesting with them though, because I actually feel like.

531
00:26:50,359 --> 00:26:52,200
Speaker 3: I haven't been down on them going to the last

532
00:26:52,200 --> 00:26:52,639
Speaker 3: two seasons.

533
00:26:52,680 --> 00:26:55,840
Speaker 1: I had them in the Super Bowl, but there were

534
00:26:55,880 --> 00:26:58,840
Speaker 1: just more doubts on paper about them. This year, there's

535
00:26:58,880 --> 00:27:01,600
Speaker 1: it's hard to find any doubts. The schedule that you know,

536
00:27:01,640 --> 00:27:05,480
Speaker 1: maybe the defense takes a step back. Everything is just

537
00:27:05,520 --> 00:27:07,439
Speaker 1: set up for them. The biggest doubts to me, And

538
00:27:07,480 --> 00:27:10,080
Speaker 1: it's why, you know, spoiler alert, I'm not going to

539
00:27:10,119 --> 00:27:12,000
Speaker 1: pick them to win the Super Bowl this year or

540
00:27:12,040 --> 00:27:16,239
Speaker 1: even make it is just is just something ineffable of

541
00:27:16,320 --> 00:27:18,640
Speaker 1: like they're going to get picked off that if there's

542
00:27:18,680 --> 00:27:21,160
Speaker 1: a reason why it's so hard. But I'm still picking

543
00:27:21,160 --> 00:27:24,119
Speaker 1: them as my number one seed. I'm just saying like that,

544
00:27:24,240 --> 00:27:26,240
Speaker 1: they're gonna have a great regular season. They're gonna have

545
00:27:26,280 --> 00:27:29,159
Speaker 1: a great season. The Patriots had some seasons where they

546
00:27:29,200 --> 00:27:33,320
Speaker 1: peaked almost a little too early. Everything was perfect, and

547
00:27:33,359 --> 00:27:35,320
Speaker 1: it's just so hard to get through every year, and

548
00:27:35,359 --> 00:27:38,000
Speaker 1: that's it's hard to define why or why that would happen.

549
00:27:38,119 --> 00:27:43,280
Speaker 2: So I agree with that entirely. I and obviously, single

550
00:27:43,280 --> 00:27:48,200
Speaker 2: elimination tournament things can happen. I would argue that if

551
00:27:48,240 --> 00:27:52,080
Speaker 2: they were that people when I hear a lot of

552
00:27:52,119 --> 00:27:56,360
Speaker 2: people say similar things, which is nobody's doubting how good

553
00:27:56,400 --> 00:27:59,119
Speaker 2: they are. But eventually the ball is going to bounce

554
00:27:59,160 --> 00:28:01,960
Speaker 2: wrong for you know, I mean wrong for them. I

555
00:28:01,960 --> 00:28:04,400
Speaker 2: would argue that happened last year and they won anyway.

556
00:28:05,720 --> 00:28:09,240
Speaker 2: The and so two years ago in the playoffs, Patrick

557
00:28:09,240 --> 00:28:13,040
Speaker 2: Mahomes suffered a high ankle sprain and they won anyway.

558
00:28:13,320 --> 00:28:16,960
Speaker 2: He suffered a significant injury. They won anyway. Last year,

559
00:28:17,760 --> 00:28:22,960
Speaker 2: they the they fumbled the ball at the goal line

560
00:28:22,960 --> 00:28:28,280
Speaker 2: against Buffalo. Everyone now in the revisionist history in the game,

561
00:28:28,359 --> 00:28:31,359
Speaker 2: the Chiefs were leading by ten points in the fourth quarter,

562
00:28:31,640 --> 00:28:34,760
Speaker 2: have decided Zay Flowers fumble cost the Ravens the game

563
00:28:34,920 --> 00:28:35,320
Speaker 2: as if that.

564
00:28:35,440 --> 00:28:38,400
Speaker 1: Time Biggs dropped that sticks out right, You're right, though

565
00:28:38,400 --> 00:28:40,320
Speaker 1: the Bills at that point should not have been in

566
00:28:40,360 --> 00:28:40,720
Speaker 1: that game.

567
00:28:40,760 --> 00:28:43,760
Speaker 2: I agree, correct, And so like they there were the

568
00:28:43,880 --> 00:28:47,520
Speaker 2: moments that were those like, oh my god, it went

569
00:28:47,600 --> 00:28:50,520
Speaker 2: the wrong way for you moments might have happened and

570
00:28:50,560 --> 00:28:55,080
Speaker 2: they got by and so I I just think this

571
00:28:55,280 --> 00:29:02,280
Speaker 2: year they are so much better then they were each

572
00:29:02,320 --> 00:29:06,000
Speaker 2: of the last two years. And I do listen, I

573
00:29:06,000 --> 00:29:08,960
Speaker 2: think Sneed's an excellent player and they will miss him,

574
00:29:09,040 --> 00:29:10,960
Speaker 2: and that to me, if people are looking for a

575
00:29:11,000 --> 00:29:13,800
Speaker 2: weakness on the Chiefs, I think the secondary is going

576
00:29:13,840 --> 00:29:15,640
Speaker 2: to be a work in progress over the course of

577
00:29:15,680 --> 00:29:17,920
Speaker 2: the year. They're playing a lot of young guys and

578
00:29:17,960 --> 00:29:20,920
Speaker 2: guys that aren't necessarily you know what I mean fully ready.

579
00:29:20,920 --> 00:29:22,880
Speaker 2: I think the safeties will be good, the corners could

580
00:29:22,920 --> 00:29:28,280
Speaker 2: be a problem, but the mahomes. Let me say one

581
00:29:28,280 --> 00:29:30,960
Speaker 2: I think about the Chiefs that I think I think

582
00:29:31,000 --> 00:29:35,479
Speaker 2: the NFL did the Ravens a disservice by putting them

583
00:29:35,600 --> 00:29:36,560
Speaker 2: that Week one game.

584
00:29:36,840 --> 00:29:37,560
Speaker 3: I agree.

585
00:29:37,880 --> 00:29:42,000
Speaker 2: I just feel like that it is such if the

586
00:29:42,080 --> 00:29:45,800
Speaker 2: Ravens had such a great season and then they have

587
00:29:45,880 --> 00:29:47,720
Speaker 2: their worst game of the year and they lose to

588
00:29:47,760 --> 00:29:52,080
Speaker 2: the Chiefs. If this year then starts like that, no

589
00:29:52,120 --> 00:29:54,720
Speaker 2: matter what they do over the next four months, I

590
00:29:54,840 --> 00:29:58,240
Speaker 2: just feel like, psychologically, it's gonna be like, well, damn it.

591
00:29:58,520 --> 00:30:00,960
Speaker 2: So I just I thought, if I we're a Baltimore fan,

592
00:30:01,040 --> 00:30:03,360
Speaker 2: maybe that's because I think the Chiefs are gonna win.

593
00:30:03,680 --> 00:30:05,640
Speaker 2: The flip side is if the Ravens win that game,

594
00:30:05,720 --> 00:30:08,200
Speaker 2: then it's like, hey, monkey off our back at least

595
00:30:08,200 --> 00:30:08,800
Speaker 2: a little bit.

596
00:30:09,200 --> 00:30:11,280
Speaker 1: But a little but I just was on the radio

597
00:30:11,320 --> 00:30:14,080
Speaker 1: with my friend Glen Clark in Baltimore, and at least

598
00:30:14,080 --> 00:30:15,480
Speaker 1: the way he says it, I think it's kind of

599
00:30:15,480 --> 00:30:19,640
Speaker 1: cop coopium. They're they're like, that game stinks because we're

600
00:30:19,640 --> 00:30:21,760
Speaker 1: gonna even if we win it like no one's gonna

601
00:30:21,760 --> 00:30:25,640
Speaker 1: think it matters because nothing matters now except for the playoffs.

602
00:30:25,640 --> 00:30:28,400
Speaker 1: So that's shouldn't be weak one. But okay, I agree.

603
00:30:28,440 --> 00:30:30,280
Speaker 1: I wanted that game to be Texans. It made more

604
00:30:30,320 --> 00:30:32,960
Speaker 1: sense the NFL. Look, they've been out front with it.

605
00:30:33,080 --> 00:30:36,719
Speaker 1: They decided this strategy of they're gonna front load this season.

606
00:30:36,760 --> 00:30:39,120
Speaker 1: For whatever reason, they wanted to go big and get

607
00:30:39,160 --> 00:30:40,920
Speaker 1: the most monster ratings possible.

608
00:30:41,160 --> 00:30:42,440
Speaker 3: The first three weeks of the season.

609
00:30:42,680 --> 00:30:45,719
Speaker 1: But the schedule for the Chiefs after the beginning, when

610
00:30:45,760 --> 00:30:47,680
Speaker 1: they do have at at San Francisco, they have the

611
00:30:47,680 --> 00:30:48,400
Speaker 1: Bengals early.

612
00:30:48,800 --> 00:30:50,560
Speaker 3: It's just too easy. They're gonna be fine.

613
00:30:50,600 --> 00:30:53,200
Speaker 1: I disagree though, that they're much better because their defense

614
00:30:53,480 --> 00:30:56,760
Speaker 1: can't be better and that's from Na Hughes out and

615
00:30:58,080 --> 00:30:59,960
Speaker 1: they'll just be closer to average. But they're a freak

616
00:31:00,200 --> 00:31:03,120
Speaker 1: fifteenth in points scored last year and that's never going

617
00:31:03,160 --> 00:31:06,040
Speaker 1: to happen again with Patrick Mahomes, So that'll make up

618
00:31:06,080 --> 00:31:08,240
Speaker 1: for anything, all right, that these can be quick first

619
00:31:08,320 --> 00:31:09,440
Speaker 1: QB to be benched.

620
00:31:09,600 --> 00:31:10,680
Speaker 3: There's a few options.

621
00:31:11,440 --> 00:31:15,360
Speaker 1: Jacoby Brissett, Russell Wilson, Deshaun Watson, you could throw in there,

622
00:31:15,400 --> 00:31:16,720
Speaker 1: Gardner Minshew, who you go with?

623
00:31:17,360 --> 00:31:22,080
Speaker 2: So I I'm going to get this wrong because I

624
00:31:22,240 --> 00:31:26,040
Speaker 2: the I don't consider Jacoby Brissett, Gardner Minshew as like real,

625
00:31:26,440 --> 00:31:28,680
Speaker 2: I don't consider those, you know what I mean?

626
00:31:28,760 --> 00:31:31,160
Speaker 1: So I'm going and also, honestly, Jacoby might not even

627
00:31:31,160 --> 00:31:33,560
Speaker 1: make it to week one. I've had this hunch that

628
00:31:33,560 --> 00:31:36,680
Speaker 1: that girod Meyo wants to start Drake May and nobody

629
00:31:36,680 --> 00:31:37,160
Speaker 1: else does.

630
00:31:37,680 --> 00:31:40,400
Speaker 3: And that's just my hunch. And he's the head coach.

631
00:31:40,440 --> 00:31:42,320
Speaker 1: So does he just put his foot down and say sorry,

632
00:31:42,360 --> 00:31:44,880
Speaker 1: Alex Van Pelt, like you're not the coach here.

633
00:31:45,320 --> 00:31:50,360
Speaker 2: Uh so I'm gonna say, Deshaun Watson, Okay, that's because

634
00:31:50,400 --> 00:31:54,600
Speaker 2: that's a real bench and I don't think he can

635
00:31:54,640 --> 00:31:55,400
Speaker 2: play anymore.

636
00:31:56,280 --> 00:31:56,800
Speaker 3: Uh.

637
00:31:57,480 --> 00:32:02,920
Speaker 2: I think that there are psychological reasons, physical reasons, and

638
00:32:03,240 --> 00:32:07,440
Speaker 2: just too far, too long away from the game reasons.

639
00:32:08,120 --> 00:32:14,720
Speaker 2: And I found the Jamis Winston acquisition interesting. Oh yeah,

640
00:32:14,800 --> 00:32:20,160
Speaker 2: because they had Huntley, who's a Mac Jones memorial pro

641
00:32:20,240 --> 00:32:27,200
Speaker 2: bowler on his Wikipedia page and a uh and who's

642
00:32:27,240 --> 00:32:27,600
Speaker 2: the is it?

643
00:32:27,680 --> 00:32:27,960
Speaker 3: DT?

644
00:32:28,000 --> 00:32:29,120
Speaker 2: Who's the other guy TTR?

645
00:32:29,240 --> 00:32:31,959
Speaker 1: They say they're not trading DTR, who's you know, solid

646
00:32:32,000 --> 00:32:33,040
Speaker 1: young backup prospect.

647
00:32:33,120 --> 00:32:35,720
Speaker 2: But so my my point is like we live in

648
00:32:35,760 --> 00:32:39,040
Speaker 2: a world where there are teams that have two quarterbacks

649
00:32:39,040 --> 00:32:42,280
Speaker 2: and one of them is Malik Willis. Like you had

650
00:32:42,320 --> 00:32:45,320
Speaker 2: you had Huntley and DTR, you didn't need to go

651
00:32:45,360 --> 00:32:48,920
Speaker 2: get Jamis as a backup. But maybe you thought you

652
00:32:49,000 --> 00:32:50,640
Speaker 2: needed Jamis as a starter.

653
00:32:51,200 --> 00:32:53,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, and they're not blind he's not healthy right now,

654
00:32:54,240 --> 00:32:58,360
Speaker 1: Deshaun Watson still and yeah, that's a good choice. I

655
00:32:58,400 --> 00:33:00,640
Speaker 1: just think they'll be stuck on keeping it going. I'll

656
00:33:00,640 --> 00:33:03,440
Speaker 1: go Russell Wilson there, partly because of what rap Sheet

657
00:33:03,480 --> 00:33:07,400
Speaker 1: said on our show. He made it sound like, okay,

658
00:33:07,440 --> 00:33:10,200
Speaker 1: I I think maybe Fields has convinced some people in

659
00:33:10,280 --> 00:33:14,640
Speaker 1: the building a team or let's go with the coach first,

660
00:33:14,640 --> 00:33:16,400
Speaker 1: if any in the AFC to get fired.

661
00:33:16,840 --> 00:33:23,040
Speaker 2: Oh all right, So I I had Do you dream

662
00:33:23,080 --> 00:33:23,840
Speaker 2: about the show?

663
00:33:23,920 --> 00:33:24,120
Speaker 3: You do?

664
00:33:24,280 --> 00:33:24,880
Speaker 2: Sometimes?

665
00:33:25,160 --> 00:33:25,640
Speaker 3: Now I do?

666
00:33:25,760 --> 00:33:29,160
Speaker 1: I never did before, but now that it's every day, yeah,

667
00:33:29,200 --> 00:33:31,680
Speaker 1: I do. So I actually have dreamed about the show

668
00:33:31,720 --> 00:33:33,640
Speaker 1: every day this week. It's funny to say this.

669
00:33:33,960 --> 00:33:39,719
Speaker 2: So I also wear nicotine patches. I've worn nickeotine patches

670
00:33:39,760 --> 00:33:42,800
Speaker 2: for seventeen years. I don't know if that's really the

671
00:33:42,840 --> 00:33:44,440
Speaker 2: way it's supposed to go, but it's what I've done.

672
00:33:44,720 --> 00:33:47,720
Speaker 2: And I sleep with them on which again I don't

673
00:33:47,760 --> 00:33:50,240
Speaker 2: know if that's healthy, but it keeps you, like brain moving.

674
00:33:50,680 --> 00:33:54,920
Speaker 2: So I sometimes have a dream that's very specific. Sometimes

675
00:33:54,920 --> 00:33:58,360
Speaker 2: there's even stats involved, and it's stuff that is accurate,

676
00:33:58,400 --> 00:34:01,000
Speaker 2: and I use it on the show. So I had

677
00:34:01,200 --> 00:34:02,880
Speaker 2: Wilds makes fun of me when I talk about this.

678
00:34:02,920 --> 00:34:04,760
Speaker 2: He's like, do we don't want to hear about your dreams?

679
00:34:04,800 --> 00:34:05,000
Speaker 3: Man?

680
00:34:05,120 --> 00:34:07,320
Speaker 2: And I'm like, I'm not saying they're premonitions. I just

681
00:34:07,360 --> 00:34:12,640
Speaker 2: think they're a good ideas. So I had a dream

682
00:34:12,920 --> 00:34:15,480
Speaker 2: that Robert Sala got fired and Matt Hackett got to

683
00:34:15,480 --> 00:34:16,560
Speaker 2: be the interim headshot.

684
00:34:18,360 --> 00:34:20,720
Speaker 3: I mean the second part of that is definitely never happening.

685
00:34:20,760 --> 00:34:22,160
Speaker 2: But that is what do you mean it's never happening

686
00:34:22,200 --> 00:34:25,839
Speaker 2: if they fire. If they fire Robert Sala during the year,

687
00:34:26,480 --> 00:34:29,239
Speaker 2: who is the I mean that I know who, I

688
00:34:29,360 --> 00:34:33,239
Speaker 2: know who Rogers would advocate for, and it seems like

689
00:34:33,320 --> 00:34:37,080
Speaker 2: he's in charge. We can say it's never happening. And

690
00:34:37,160 --> 00:34:39,359
Speaker 2: I don't know the Jets full coaching staff a week.

691
00:34:39,440 --> 00:34:41,399
Speaker 1: I'm looking it up right now because I'm just trying

692
00:34:41,400 --> 00:34:43,640
Speaker 1: to find someone. Well, yeah, all Breck, who's kind of

693
00:34:43,680 --> 00:34:46,600
Speaker 1: impressive in that hard knocks thing.

694
00:34:47,239 --> 00:34:48,879
Speaker 2: I I don't know.

695
00:34:49,080 --> 00:34:52,480
Speaker 1: I know my initial instinct was, who is the just

696
00:34:52,719 --> 00:34:56,399
Speaker 1: oldest guy that has respect but really isn't cut out

697
00:34:56,440 --> 00:35:01,279
Speaker 1: for it. John Jefferson has been a coach for twenty

698
00:35:01,400 --> 00:35:03,719
Speaker 1: years in the NFL. He's their wide receivers coach. I

699
00:35:03,719 --> 00:35:06,160
Speaker 1: don't know it'd be a guy like that, but you're right,

700
00:35:06,200 --> 00:35:07,319
Speaker 1: they don't really have anyone else.

701
00:35:07,360 --> 00:35:10,080
Speaker 2: They don't have the only guy with head coaching experience.

702
00:35:10,280 --> 00:35:11,080
Speaker 3: They can't.

703
00:35:12,320 --> 00:35:15,200
Speaker 2: Heck, and I just don't think that. I think the

704
00:35:15,280 --> 00:35:18,319
Speaker 2: Jets are going to stumble out of the gates. Oh

705
00:35:18,360 --> 00:35:22,319
Speaker 2: that's fun and so the and so I don't know

706
00:35:22,440 --> 00:35:24,600
Speaker 2: the I'm trying to think of the other possible option.

707
00:35:24,680 --> 00:35:26,839
Speaker 1: There's not really many in the AFC. Doug Nah, there's

708
00:35:26,880 --> 00:35:31,880
Speaker 1: actually coaches that have no worry, and then there's new coaches.

709
00:35:31,880 --> 00:35:33,680
Speaker 1: So Doug Peterson was probably the one I was going

710
00:35:33,719 --> 00:35:35,239
Speaker 1: to throw out there just if things go sour. I

711
00:35:35,239 --> 00:35:37,120
Speaker 1: don't think they will go sour. I think they'll actually

712
00:35:37,160 --> 00:35:39,600
Speaker 1: have a winning record if I had to choose. But

713
00:35:40,400 --> 00:35:42,279
Speaker 1: I think if they were two and six or two

714
00:35:42,360 --> 00:35:43,799
Speaker 1: and five that he'd be dating.

715
00:35:45,000 --> 00:35:46,759
Speaker 3: Maybe they'll leave him in London. I'll be there.

716
00:35:46,800 --> 00:35:50,200
Speaker 1: By the way, you mentioned Jags in London earlier, So

717
00:35:50,239 --> 00:35:52,400
Speaker 1: that's that's a little breaking news. I'm gonna go see

718
00:35:52,520 --> 00:35:55,959
Speaker 1: the Prince versus Caleb Williams, So that's gonna be fun.

719
00:35:56,000 --> 00:35:58,560
Speaker 2: What again, are you going to stick around for the

720
00:35:58,560 --> 00:35:59,879
Speaker 2: next week to see him against him?

721
00:36:00,440 --> 00:36:04,560
Speaker 1: Fortunately, I can only get the the finances or whatnot,

722
00:36:04,640 --> 00:36:05,680
Speaker 1: the approval for one game.

723
00:36:05,719 --> 00:36:08,400
Speaker 2: But I'll take it, believe me, I will. But just

724
00:36:08,480 --> 00:36:11,839
Speaker 2: real quick on this topic. It is interesting that in

725
00:36:11,880 --> 00:36:15,160
Speaker 2: the AFC it feels like you just go division by division,

726
00:36:15,840 --> 00:36:18,799
Speaker 2: take out the guy I mentioned Robert Sala the other.

727
00:36:19,200 --> 00:36:22,960
Speaker 2: I guess McDermott theoretically could be fired during the year

728
00:36:23,000 --> 00:36:25,680
Speaker 2: if they're awful, but that's not gonna happen, feels like

729
00:36:25,680 --> 00:36:28,480
Speaker 2: the rest of the AFC. In the AFC North, all

730
00:36:28,520 --> 00:36:32,160
Speaker 2: four are one hundred percent safe during the year. Feels

731
00:36:32,160 --> 00:36:34,760
Speaker 2: to me Stefanski just won Coach of the Year again.

732
00:36:35,040 --> 00:36:38,560
Speaker 2: In the AFC South, Peterson's the only one who could

733
00:36:38,560 --> 00:36:41,880
Speaker 2: be fired during the year yea. And in the AFC West,

734
00:36:42,160 --> 00:36:44,919
Speaker 2: I think all four are one hundred percent safe during

735
00:36:44,920 --> 00:36:47,319
Speaker 2: the year. Like Antonio pears that I just don't think

736
00:36:47,320 --> 00:36:50,719
Speaker 2: you're gonna hire an interim coach, and then obviously Sean Payton,

737
00:36:50,800 --> 00:36:53,960
Speaker 2: Jim Harbaugh, Andy Reid aren't the The NFC has way

738
00:36:54,000 --> 00:36:54,640
Speaker 2: more coach.

739
00:36:55,120 --> 00:36:56,480
Speaker 3: And now Dennis Allen is.

740
00:36:56,760 --> 00:36:59,480
Speaker 1: I actually read something about this that initially this offseason,

741
00:36:59,520 --> 00:37:01,839
Speaker 1: Robert South it was the Vegas favorite to be first

742
00:37:01,840 --> 00:37:04,560
Speaker 1: cotch fighted, which seems crazy to me. But now because

743
00:37:04,600 --> 00:37:06,520
Speaker 1: so many people put their money on Dennis all and

744
00:37:06,560 --> 00:37:09,839
Speaker 1: Dennisallen is, we'll go through these quick and then we'll

745
00:37:09,840 --> 00:37:13,919
Speaker 1: get to our seeds halfway decent team that gets talked

746
00:37:13,920 --> 00:37:15,480
Speaker 1: about the least on your show.

747
00:37:15,560 --> 00:37:19,920
Speaker 3: First things first, well.

748
00:37:18,800 --> 00:37:20,560
Speaker 1: You can take this however you want. If you want

749
00:37:20,600 --> 00:37:22,840
Speaker 1: to just say any team, you can say, no, that's fine.

750
00:37:23,320 --> 00:37:25,040
Speaker 1: It could be a bad team. It could be the Titans,

751
00:37:25,040 --> 00:37:26,200
Speaker 1: because the Titans.

752
00:37:26,200 --> 00:37:28,440
Speaker 2: No, no, no, you said halfway decent. I think the answers

753
00:37:28,480 --> 00:37:34,480
Speaker 2: the Colts. Okay, the because I think the Colts are

754
00:37:34,560 --> 00:37:36,319
Speaker 2: a lot of what you said, I agree with. The

755
00:37:36,360 --> 00:37:39,560
Speaker 2: Other one that I think could be halfway decent this

756
00:37:39,640 --> 00:37:42,040
Speaker 2: year is the Broncos.

757
00:37:42,200 --> 00:37:44,160
Speaker 1: That was the one that popped in my mind that like,

758
00:37:45,680 --> 00:37:48,560
Speaker 1: I don't I don't love this team, but their over

759
00:37:48,600 --> 00:37:50,640
Speaker 1: runners five and a half and it's Sean Payton will

760
00:37:50,640 --> 00:37:53,920
Speaker 1: probably because you'll probably scrape close enough to eight hundred

761
00:37:53,960 --> 00:37:56,600
Speaker 1: and or five hundred and they might not get mentioned

762
00:37:56,640 --> 00:38:00,560
Speaker 1: for weeks on first Yes, first, that's correct, way great

763
00:38:00,640 --> 00:38:04,000
Speaker 1: find I would have never you know, not that, not

764
00:38:04,120 --> 00:38:06,680
Speaker 1: that you found him, but uh a delight.

765
00:38:07,640 --> 00:38:07,759
Speaker 3: No.

766
00:38:08,320 --> 00:38:12,280
Speaker 2: Kevin Wilds is I think the best at what he does,

767
00:38:12,360 --> 00:38:14,640
Speaker 2: which is a very specific thing in the business. The

768
00:38:14,640 --> 00:38:18,000
Speaker 2: only person to me similar to Wilde's and skill set

769
00:38:18,440 --> 00:38:20,880
Speaker 2: and ability is actually a guy you already mentioned on

770
00:38:20,920 --> 00:38:23,640
Speaker 2: the show in lef Goo, a guy who like can

771
00:38:23,680 --> 00:38:26,319
Speaker 2: you know, host and have takes and be funny and

772
00:38:26,440 --> 00:38:31,480
Speaker 2: just universally likable. But uh, but yeah, the one other

773
00:38:31,800 --> 00:38:35,120
Speaker 2: bonus Broncos take. I think bo Nicks is the most

774
00:38:35,200 --> 00:38:39,640
Speaker 2: likely guy to trick people into thinking he's good. Yes,

775
00:38:39,920 --> 00:38:42,640
Speaker 2: So I think that there is a lot of mac

776
00:38:42,800 --> 00:38:45,440
Speaker 2: Jones rookie season for bo Nicks where it's like you

777
00:38:45,520 --> 00:38:49,200
Speaker 2: reach your ceiling immediately and it's kind of training wheel

778
00:38:49,280 --> 00:38:51,759
Speaker 2: stuff and it's like, hey, look at him, look at

779
00:38:51,800 --> 00:38:54,160
Speaker 2: what he's going to be. But it's actually just that

780
00:38:54,520 --> 00:38:56,399
Speaker 2: the whole time, because he's twenty nine years old.

781
00:38:56,400 --> 00:38:58,440
Speaker 3: That's tricked. But if mac Jones.

782
00:38:58,160 --> 00:39:00,080
Speaker 2: Said, well, I wasn't trying to take a shot at you.

783
00:39:00,080 --> 00:39:02,319
Speaker 1: No, no, but I was tricked because well, first of all,

784
00:39:02,320 --> 00:39:03,719
Speaker 1: mac Jones didn't stay at that level.

785
00:39:03,719 --> 00:39:05,560
Speaker 3: Obviously, the things around it, like if he could have

786
00:39:05,600 --> 00:39:06,880
Speaker 3: just stayed at the level, he could have had a

787
00:39:06,880 --> 00:39:08,640
Speaker 3: real career. He could not.

788
00:39:08,920 --> 00:39:09,520
Speaker 2: Maybe he's.

789
00:39:10,880 --> 00:39:12,840
Speaker 3: Preseason maybe, but if you watch.

790
00:39:15,520 --> 00:39:18,080
Speaker 1: There were some Yeah, he had a lot of numbers

791
00:39:18,120 --> 00:39:20,239
Speaker 1: and highlights, but if you watch those games, he had

792
00:39:20,239 --> 00:39:22,759
Speaker 1: some mac Jones moments too that were like, okay, that's

793
00:39:22,800 --> 00:39:24,600
Speaker 1: why you're back up, all right, one last quick break

794
00:39:24,600 --> 00:39:25,680
Speaker 1: and then we're going to go through.

795
00:39:25,480 --> 00:39:27,839
Speaker 3: Our seeds and our pick for the championship game.

796
00:39:37,000 --> 00:39:41,000
Speaker 1: Back on NFL Daily an inspiration as I've gotten used

797
00:39:41,040 --> 00:39:43,839
Speaker 1: to these daily shows.

798
00:39:43,480 --> 00:39:46,320
Speaker 3: And thinking, okay, it's a lot planning, and every.

799
00:39:46,160 --> 00:39:50,320
Speaker 1: Day I do, I do think about the Good Morning

800
00:39:50,320 --> 00:39:54,680
Speaker 1: Football people and what they've been through the last however

801
00:39:54,719 --> 00:39:56,359
Speaker 1: many years, and then I think of people like Nick

802
00:39:56,400 --> 00:39:59,160
Speaker 1: Wright who have a daily TV show, which I know

803
00:39:59,320 --> 00:40:02,239
Speaker 1: personally take it's a different sort of energy out of you,

804
00:40:02,320 --> 00:40:04,920
Speaker 1: takes more out of you, frankly, and then on top

805
00:40:05,000 --> 00:40:07,360
Speaker 1: of that you then go do your YouTube show. So

806
00:40:07,400 --> 00:40:08,840
Speaker 1: I'm like, if they can do it. And now that

807
00:40:08,920 --> 00:40:10,840
Speaker 1: I've once I got used to it and into the

808
00:40:10,880 --> 00:40:12,120
Speaker 1: flow of it, I was like, okay.

809
00:40:11,880 --> 00:40:12,880
Speaker 3: This is this is quite different.

810
00:40:13,320 --> 00:40:16,319
Speaker 2: It's also let me tell I don't know again, this

811
00:40:16,360 --> 00:40:20,919
Speaker 2: is a little psychological. I guess. I have found I

812
00:40:21,000 --> 00:40:28,719
Speaker 2: really enjoy now like building legos and doing puzzles. And

813
00:40:28,840 --> 00:40:32,719
Speaker 2: the reason is just follow me for a moment, is

814
00:40:32,760 --> 00:40:36,520
Speaker 2: because I like when I finish something there to be

815
00:40:37,680 --> 00:40:40,840
Speaker 2: proof of it. One of the weird things about a

816
00:40:40,960 --> 00:40:43,399
Speaker 2: daily show is no matter how One of the good

817
00:40:43,400 --> 00:40:45,520
Speaker 2: things is if you think it was awful, it's like, well,

818
00:40:45,600 --> 00:40:47,600
Speaker 2: I get to do it again tomorrow. One of the

819
00:40:47,680 --> 00:40:50,880
Speaker 2: bad things is and I've just done daily radio or

820
00:40:50,920 --> 00:40:55,560
Speaker 2: TV or both for now gosh, you know almost twenty years,

821
00:40:55,680 --> 00:40:59,400
Speaker 2: or I guess eight seventeen years. Is you do all

822
00:40:59,480 --> 00:41:00,960
Speaker 2: this work, you can do all this prepe, you get

823
00:41:01,000 --> 00:41:03,840
Speaker 2: everything ready, and then it's just gone, just like into

824
00:41:03,840 --> 00:41:05,719
Speaker 2: the ether, you know what I mean. So like I

825
00:41:05,840 --> 00:41:08,319
Speaker 2: like so just psychologically and like it's like, oh, I

826
00:41:08,400 --> 00:41:12,000
Speaker 2: did this project and now it's sitting on my mantle.

827
00:41:12,080 --> 00:41:13,600
Speaker 2: Not that I build a lot of legos that then

828
00:41:13,760 --> 00:41:17,160
Speaker 2: we display in the house. But you understand, you understand

829
00:41:17,320 --> 00:41:19,320
Speaker 2: the point that I'm making. Yeah, it's it's a weird

830
00:41:19,320 --> 00:41:20,280
Speaker 2: thing in your head.

831
00:41:20,480 --> 00:41:24,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, I've and I've been doing ephemeral stuff forever.

832
00:41:24,640 --> 00:41:27,000
Speaker 3: I mean it was doing wrote a world.

833
00:41:27,000 --> 00:41:29,960
Speaker 1: You gotta just enjoy the actual doing of it, and

834
00:41:29,960 --> 00:41:31,960
Speaker 1: that that for me is the reward. Because none of

835
00:41:31,960 --> 00:41:34,600
Speaker 1: this stuck. It has stuck, like rote a world player

836
00:41:34,640 --> 00:41:37,480
Speaker 1: news that does not stick. My PFT posts, all the

837
00:41:37,560 --> 00:41:39,960
Speaker 1: things I wrote on PFT because they messed it up

838
00:41:40,000 --> 00:41:42,799
Speaker 1: now are under someone else's name, and I always get

839
00:41:43,040 --> 00:41:46,160
Speaker 1: like tweets that I wrote some incendiary thing from two

840
00:41:46,200 --> 00:41:48,520
Speaker 1: thousand and nine and it was actually Mike Florio that

841
00:41:48,600 --> 00:41:50,400
Speaker 1: wrote it, but for some reason my name's on it

842
00:41:50,400 --> 00:41:53,200
Speaker 1: because they they messed it up, and so everything's ephemeral.

843
00:41:53,280 --> 00:41:56,400
Speaker 1: Nothing I wrote has ever stuck, and that's fine. I'm

844
00:41:56,400 --> 00:41:57,759
Speaker 1: fine with that cause it's a fun life.

845
00:41:57,760 --> 00:41:58,040
Speaker 3: All right.

846
00:41:58,120 --> 00:42:01,480
Speaker 1: Let's wrap up with, you know, the most important stuff,

847
00:42:01,719 --> 00:42:04,680
Speaker 1: our seven playoff seeds, and then we'll also after that

848
00:42:05,080 --> 00:42:07,200
Speaker 1: go with our championship result because you know, maybe the

849
00:42:07,239 --> 00:42:09,560
Speaker 1: seeds don't match up the same as as what the

850
00:42:09,640 --> 00:42:12,279
Speaker 1: championship game is. Why don't you go from seven to one?

851
00:42:12,400 --> 00:42:13,760
Speaker 1: You can start.

852
00:42:13,680 --> 00:42:15,759
Speaker 2: Seven to one, all right, So I want to get

853
00:42:15,800 --> 00:42:20,600
Speaker 2: this exactly right because there's nothing I dislike more and

854
00:42:20,760 --> 00:42:24,160
Speaker 2: judge folks more for in our space where if on

855
00:42:24,160 --> 00:42:29,480
Speaker 2: one platform they have X and then on another platform

856
00:42:29,520 --> 00:42:33,080
Speaker 2: they have why, because it's either you weren't paying attention

857
00:42:33,200 --> 00:42:37,120
Speaker 2: and didn't care, or you're actually trying to hedge. You're

858
00:42:37,160 --> 00:42:40,400
Speaker 2: like the guy who fills out seven March madness brackets,

859
00:42:40,400 --> 00:42:42,000
Speaker 2: so you can be like I had that upset. I

860
00:42:42,040 --> 00:42:47,120
Speaker 2: had that upset. So I'm checking my official document Nick

861
00:42:47,200 --> 00:42:48,279
Speaker 2: Right twenty twenty four.

862
00:42:48,960 --> 00:42:51,000
Speaker 1: The tricky part is you might change your mind between

863
00:42:51,000 --> 00:42:53,080
Speaker 1: now and the season, but no, it's.

864
00:42:52,960 --> 00:42:58,560
Speaker 2: Locked in stone, locking stone. Okay, seven seed Los Angeles Chargers, Dame,

865
00:42:59,360 --> 00:43:04,520
Speaker 2: six seed Jacksonville Jaguars. Do you want to say yours? No?

866
00:43:04,600 --> 00:43:06,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, I want to go for three years? Oh? Okay,

867
00:43:06,000 --> 00:43:06,360
Speaker 3: got that?

868
00:43:06,600 --> 00:43:14,160
Speaker 2: Five seed Baltimore Ravens. Hmmm, okay, four seed Houston Texans,

869
00:43:15,480 --> 00:43:21,960
Speaker 2: three seed Buffalo Bills, two seed Cincinnati Bengals, and the

870
00:43:22,040 --> 00:43:24,640
Speaker 2: number one seed the Kansasity Chiefs.

871
00:43:24,719 --> 00:43:24,919
Speaker 3: Yeah.

872
00:43:24,920 --> 00:43:27,600
Speaker 1: I think it was harder to get overly creative in

873
00:43:27,680 --> 00:43:28,160
Speaker 1: the AFC.

874
00:43:28,400 --> 00:43:30,239
Speaker 3: None of those will shock me.

875
00:43:30,560 --> 00:43:34,440
Speaker 1: I am pleased, And I don't know if it surprises

876
00:43:34,480 --> 00:43:37,759
Speaker 1: the word, but that you stuck with the Bills, I

877
00:43:37,760 --> 00:43:39,720
Speaker 1: guess I could have figured out because you went Dolphins

878
00:43:39,719 --> 00:43:40,719
Speaker 1: and Jets earlier.

879
00:43:41,040 --> 00:43:42,480
Speaker 3: But why are you staying?

880
00:43:42,640 --> 00:43:45,120
Speaker 1: You know, thinking the Bills, who have just had a

881
00:43:45,160 --> 00:43:48,360
Speaker 1: strange run here under Josh Allen, they just are very streaky.

882
00:43:48,480 --> 00:43:50,520
Speaker 1: There's always a point in the season where it looks

883
00:43:50,520 --> 00:43:52,520
Speaker 1: like things are going to crater, and then by the

884
00:43:52,600 --> 00:43:55,600
Speaker 1: end they're usually the second best team or the third

885
00:43:55,600 --> 00:43:57,640
Speaker 1: best team, which is frustrating for the Bills, but also

886
00:43:57,719 --> 00:44:00,719
Speaker 1: to me is extremely impressive because I as a for

887
00:44:00,920 --> 00:44:02,480
Speaker 1: you know, as a Patriots fan, I think that's the

888
00:44:02,480 --> 00:44:05,239
Speaker 1: hardest thing to do, and the Bills have basically done it.

889
00:44:05,239 --> 00:44:07,600
Speaker 1: They just have done it in an era where Patrick

890
00:44:07,640 --> 00:44:11,120
Speaker 1: Mahomes is there, and they haven't you know, quite gotten over.

891
00:44:10,960 --> 00:44:13,239
Speaker 2: The Okay, So this is I'm glad we're having a

892
00:44:13,320 --> 00:44:16,080
Speaker 2: chance to talk about the Bills because I understand people,

893
00:44:16,880 --> 00:44:18,839
Speaker 2: you know, might look at me as a Chiefs guy,

894
00:44:19,680 --> 00:44:23,520
Speaker 2: but there are other people that have been close to,

895
00:44:23,680 --> 00:44:26,120
Speaker 2: if not just as correct about the Chiefs over the

896
00:44:26,160 --> 00:44:27,040
Speaker 2: last few years as me.

897
00:44:28,080 --> 00:44:30,799
Speaker 1: No one right here, I didn't pick against them once

898
00:44:30,840 --> 00:44:32,360
Speaker 1: in the playoffs after a couple.

899
00:44:32,160 --> 00:44:36,040
Speaker 2: There, you go, exactly right. No one has been more

900
00:44:36,040 --> 00:44:38,400
Speaker 2: accurate about the Buffalo Bills than me, and I have

901
00:44:38,520 --> 00:44:44,040
Speaker 2: been ridiculed, called a hater, called a hot take artist,

902
00:44:44,120 --> 00:44:49,320
Speaker 2: all these things when it's just been correct. And I

903
00:44:49,440 --> 00:44:53,920
Speaker 2: reject the premise that other people have and I think

904
00:44:53,960 --> 00:44:56,040
Speaker 2: you might be one of them, like ah, you ran

905
00:44:56,080 --> 00:44:59,160
Speaker 2: into Michael Jordan, you ran into the Chiefs because the

906
00:44:59,200 --> 00:45:03,360
Speaker 2: fact of the matter is, there is not a single

907
00:45:03,560 --> 00:45:06,879
Speaker 2: game the Bills have played the Chiefs in the playoffs

908
00:45:07,600 --> 00:45:10,960
Speaker 2: that you have real evidence had they won, they would

909
00:45:11,000 --> 00:45:12,360
Speaker 2: have then won the Super Bowl.

910
00:45:12,600 --> 00:45:16,319
Speaker 1: Oh there's the twenty twenty two right, you know that

911
00:45:16,360 --> 00:45:18,719
Speaker 1: the overtime game. Yeah, I was convinced they would have

912
00:45:18,719 --> 00:45:20,680
Speaker 1: won the Super Bowl. Okay, well that's they were better

913
00:45:20,719 --> 00:45:21,920
Speaker 1: than the Bengals and the Rams.

914
00:45:22,080 --> 00:45:25,000
Speaker 2: Okay, well that's interesting because the very next year they

915
00:45:25,080 --> 00:45:26,680
Speaker 2: then hosted the Bengals and.

916
00:45:26,680 --> 00:45:27,920
Speaker 3: They were a different team, rocked.

917
00:45:28,040 --> 00:45:30,360
Speaker 1: They were a different team that was their best team,

918
00:45:30,640 --> 00:45:32,759
Speaker 1: and that didn't happen for him, and it is And look,

919
00:45:32,840 --> 00:45:38,440
Speaker 1: they they deserve it because their defensive coach and everything's

920
00:45:38,440 --> 00:45:40,439
Speaker 1: about to be the consistency of their defense and Sean

921
00:45:40,480 --> 00:45:42,919
Speaker 1: McDermott's peeded down his leg and their defense has played

922
00:45:42,920 --> 00:45:45,399
Speaker 1: the very worst in the biggest moments, and so they

923
00:45:45,440 --> 00:45:46,359
Speaker 1: deserve to lose it.

924
00:45:46,400 --> 00:45:47,960
Speaker 3: But they they were.

925
00:45:48,040 --> 00:45:49,640
Speaker 1: If they had had if they had found the way

926
00:45:49,680 --> 00:45:52,120
Speaker 1: to win that game with one more stop, I felt

927
00:45:52,160 --> 00:45:54,920
Speaker 1: like they were winning that Super Bowl. Those that was

928
00:45:54,920 --> 00:45:58,600
Speaker 1: a bad team super Bowl relatively Bengals Rams.

929
00:45:58,520 --> 00:46:00,960
Speaker 2: I understand. But the point that I'm making is that's

930
00:46:01,000 --> 00:46:05,080
Speaker 2: the one everyone goes to. And that season they lost

931
00:46:05,080 --> 00:46:08,600
Speaker 2: to a team that then lost to the team that

932
00:46:08,800 --> 00:46:10,000
Speaker 2: lost to the Super Bowl.

933
00:46:10,280 --> 00:46:12,399
Speaker 3: I know how it happens, though I do.

934
00:46:12,920 --> 00:46:15,160
Speaker 2: I just think it's for a team that has three

935
00:46:15,200 --> 00:46:18,200
Speaker 2: consecutive seventh place finishes. They've sure been talked about it

936
00:46:18,239 --> 00:46:20,120
Speaker 2: than a lot of Super Bowls. But that's on the point.

937
00:46:20,280 --> 00:46:24,319
Speaker 2: The reason is, despite that, I now think people have

938
00:46:24,440 --> 00:46:29,960
Speaker 2: overcorrected and people are now underrating them a healthy Josh Allen,

939
00:46:30,760 --> 00:46:35,040
Speaker 2: you have a baseline of nine or ten wins, and

940
00:46:35,080 --> 00:46:37,440
Speaker 2: I think that even though they have a lot of

941
00:46:37,520 --> 00:46:42,000
Speaker 2: defensive personnel losses, they were without Milano for a lot

942
00:46:42,040 --> 00:46:44,759
Speaker 2: of last year. I think the guys in the secondary

943
00:46:45,120 --> 00:46:48,040
Speaker 2: weren't still great players. They were good players, but not

944
00:46:48,120 --> 00:46:53,280
Speaker 2: great players. And Digs whether it was because of personality

945
00:46:53,600 --> 00:46:57,640
Speaker 2: or age or whatever after the first five games of

946
00:46:57,760 --> 00:47:01,319
Speaker 2: last year, was not a top forty receiver. And so

947
00:47:01,640 --> 00:47:04,839
Speaker 2: I just think that they are they I think they're

948
00:47:04,840 --> 00:47:07,120
Speaker 2: going to be fine. I think that they are going

949
00:47:07,200 --> 00:47:11,600
Speaker 2: to be what they have been in my opinion each

950
00:47:11,640 --> 00:47:15,480
Speaker 2: of the last few years, which is a good regular

951
00:47:15,560 --> 00:47:19,560
Speaker 2: season team that when it is all firing, looks like,

952
00:47:19,719 --> 00:47:22,759
Speaker 2: oh my god, that team's amazing. That then plays a

953
00:47:22,880 --> 00:47:26,919
Speaker 2: true contender in the playoffs and loses. And so that's

954
00:47:27,040 --> 00:47:31,160
Speaker 2: just how I so I am, but now it's we're

955
00:47:31,160 --> 00:47:33,680
Speaker 2: in a world where they're not even the favorite to

956
00:47:33,719 --> 00:47:36,239
Speaker 2: win their own division. So I think now the Bills

957
00:47:36,280 --> 00:47:40,719
Speaker 2: are being disrespected by Vegas when previously they have been

958
00:47:40,760 --> 00:47:43,799
Speaker 2: way overly respected, which is good for me because it

959
00:47:43,880 --> 00:47:45,759
Speaker 2: just means once again I get to be right down

960
00:47:45,800 --> 00:47:47,760
Speaker 2: the middle about the Buffalo Bills.

961
00:47:48,560 --> 00:47:52,919
Speaker 3: I'm with you, and I'm high on the Bills this year.

962
00:47:54,200 --> 00:47:57,040
Speaker 1: Partly maybe I'm just pushing against that, but I do

963
00:47:57,160 --> 00:47:59,880
Speaker 1: believe it that it was the same reason why I

964
00:48:00,120 --> 00:48:03,960
Speaker 1: picked the Chiefs in twenty twenty two to make the

965
00:48:04,000 --> 00:48:05,759
Speaker 1: super Bowl and I think to win the Actually, no,

966
00:48:06,000 --> 00:48:08,239
Speaker 1: before the year, I had Eagles over Chiefs, that was right.

967
00:48:08,280 --> 00:48:09,839
Speaker 1: I got it wrong, but I had the matchup right,

968
00:48:09,880 --> 00:48:13,879
Speaker 1: which is very that does not happen. But it's because

969
00:48:13,960 --> 00:48:17,400
Speaker 1: offensive line and quarterback. Like I'm not making it that complicated,

970
00:48:17,440 --> 00:48:19,200
Speaker 1: and there's enough of everything else. And I think this

971
00:48:19,239 --> 00:48:21,080
Speaker 1: is the best Bills offensive line they've had. It just

972
00:48:21,080 --> 00:48:24,279
Speaker 1: has good continuity. And I do think Josh Allen He's

973
00:48:24,320 --> 00:48:28,200
Speaker 1: never going to be better than Patrick Mahomes overall, but

974
00:48:28,239 --> 00:48:30,520
Speaker 1: I do think we're right about the point. We're getting

975
00:48:30,560 --> 00:48:33,920
Speaker 1: the very best Josh Allen, and I do think he

976
00:48:34,000 --> 00:48:38,640
Speaker 1: can lift all the tides, and I wanted, like, I

977
00:48:38,640 --> 00:48:40,080
Speaker 1: think there was a point in the offseason where I

978
00:48:40,120 --> 00:48:41,960
Speaker 1: probably thought I'd be more creative and not as high

979
00:48:41,960 --> 00:48:43,400
Speaker 1: in the Texans because it's like everyone's going to be

980
00:48:43,480 --> 00:48:44,160
Speaker 1: high in the Texants.

981
00:48:44,239 --> 00:48:46,359
Speaker 3: But they deserve it. They really are that good.

982
00:48:46,400 --> 00:48:49,160
Speaker 1: They really do have a chance, and so I have

983
00:48:49,280 --> 00:48:51,160
Speaker 1: them up there winning the division. I'll go through mine too,

984
00:48:51,200 --> 00:48:54,320
Speaker 1: and then we can talk our championship results. So seven Chargers,

985
00:48:54,360 --> 00:48:56,120
Speaker 1: I'm with you, didn't feel great about it, but I

986
00:48:56,160 --> 00:48:57,360
Speaker 1: had to go somewhere.

987
00:48:57,440 --> 00:49:00,160
Speaker 3: Six Colts. I do have them in the playoff.

988
00:49:00,160 --> 00:49:03,560
Speaker 1: So I have two AFC South teams, five Bengals, four Texans,

989
00:49:03,800 --> 00:49:07,080
Speaker 1: three Ravens. I have a weird feeling about the Ravens,

990
00:49:07,120 --> 00:49:09,120
Speaker 1: and yet when it comes down to it, I just

991
00:49:09,160 --> 00:49:12,319
Speaker 1: can't pick against them. Two Bills and then number one

992
00:49:12,880 --> 00:49:17,200
Speaker 1: two Peas. Yeah, why not? I mean they're the most

993
00:49:17,239 --> 00:49:21,480
Speaker 1: consistent regular season team and there's a lot of Like

994
00:49:21,560 --> 00:49:24,120
Speaker 1: I think Rousseau could have a breakout season every year.

995
00:49:24,160 --> 00:49:26,360
Speaker 1: I think ed Oliver is gonna have a breakout season,

996
00:49:26,480 --> 00:49:29,480
Speaker 1: except what he does is improve like ten percent every season,

997
00:49:29,520 --> 00:49:32,359
Speaker 1: which is fine. Like he improves from very good, so like, yeah,

998
00:49:32,480 --> 00:49:34,560
Speaker 1: closer now he's like pro bowler, And that's fine if

999
00:49:34,600 --> 00:49:38,120
Speaker 1: you have two good defensive linemen. McDermott knows how to

1000
00:49:38,120 --> 00:49:40,840
Speaker 1: coach up the back seven, which to me is just

1001
00:49:40,880 --> 00:49:43,839
Speaker 1: so valuable even if he's you know, holds the as

1002
00:49:43,880 --> 00:49:45,720
Speaker 1: we would say in tennis, like he holds the racket

1003
00:49:45,719 --> 00:49:48,560
Speaker 1: a little too tight, like he just he just that

1004
00:49:48,680 --> 00:49:50,920
Speaker 1: worries me in a playoff setting, but that that's my

1005
00:49:50,960 --> 00:49:52,719
Speaker 1: playoffs and I might as well just go to it. Yeah,

1006
00:49:52,719 --> 00:49:54,359
Speaker 1: I have the Bills in the Super Bowl this year.

1007
00:49:54,640 --> 00:49:59,000
Speaker 1: I'm going Bills over I'm going Bills over Texans. I'm

1008
00:49:59,040 --> 00:50:01,799
Speaker 1: gonna actually be because the Chiefs freaked me out. I

1009
00:50:01,840 --> 00:50:04,280
Speaker 1: guess in this scenario, the Texans pickoff.

1010
00:50:03,880 --> 00:50:06,360
Speaker 3: The Chiefs, So that's what That's what the Texans.

1011
00:50:06,400 --> 00:50:09,880
Speaker 2: Last year, broad Brew had Ravens over Bengals in the

1012
00:50:09,920 --> 00:50:13,879
Speaker 2: AFC title game, but his his logic was the chief

1013
00:50:14,000 --> 00:50:17,600
Speaker 2: the Bengals beat the Chiefs for the Ravens, yes, and

1014
00:50:17,640 --> 00:50:19,680
Speaker 2: then they and then they go I'm.

1015
00:50:19,480 --> 00:50:21,080
Speaker 3: Going that way because I really do.

1016
00:50:21,400 --> 00:50:24,239
Speaker 1: It's more of a bet against the Chiefs in the

1017
00:50:24,280 --> 00:50:28,319
Speaker 1: sense that this is the best AFC I've seen. I

1018
00:50:28,320 --> 00:50:31,080
Speaker 1: think there's gonna be four to five really great teams,

1019
00:50:31,480 --> 00:50:34,239
Speaker 1: and so I am gonna I take the field over

1020
00:50:34,280 --> 00:50:36,080
Speaker 1: the Chiefs. And if I'm gonna take the field over

1021
00:50:36,120 --> 00:50:38,399
Speaker 1: the Chiefs, this is the first time I haven't had

1022
00:50:38,400 --> 00:50:40,399
Speaker 1: them in a Super Bowl before a season.

1023
00:50:41,239 --> 00:50:43,080
Speaker 3: In a while, maybe almost.

1024
00:50:42,880 --> 00:50:46,080
Speaker 2: Ever something, Greg, because you're my friend and I love

1025
00:50:46,160 --> 00:50:50,960
Speaker 2: this show you. It's one thing to not pick the

1026
00:50:51,040 --> 00:50:53,719
Speaker 2: Chiefs to win the Super Bowl, yeah, another thing not

1027
00:50:53,760 --> 00:50:55,439
Speaker 2: picked the Chiefs to make the Super Bowl.

1028
00:50:56,320 --> 00:50:56,560
Speaker 3: Yeah.

1029
00:50:56,600 --> 00:51:02,400
Speaker 2: But the Chiefs seasons start the Chiefs since Mahomes have

1030
00:51:02,440 --> 00:51:05,880
Speaker 2: been there, they have a one or two game season

1031
00:51:06,440 --> 00:51:10,000
Speaker 2: and it starts in the AFC Title Game. And if

1032
00:51:10,000 --> 00:51:12,040
Speaker 2: they go to and oh, it's a great year. If

1033
00:51:12,080 --> 00:51:14,239
Speaker 2: they go one and one, it's a sad year.

1034
00:51:14,400 --> 00:51:17,040
Speaker 3: I mean they want that. Bill's overtime game was a

1035
00:51:17,080 --> 00:51:19,080
Speaker 3: preseason game. I mean, giving a break. You don't know

1036
00:51:19,120 --> 00:51:20,400
Speaker 3: when your tough games are gonna come.

1037
00:51:20,480 --> 00:51:22,520
Speaker 2: No, no, No, that's not what I'm saying. What I'm saying

1038
00:51:22,640 --> 00:51:27,560
Speaker 2: is one one hundred of the time when the when

1039
00:51:27,600 --> 00:51:30,759
Speaker 2: the AFC Championship Game trophy is in the building and

1040
00:51:30,800 --> 00:51:33,520
Speaker 2: the winner of that game gets it, Patrick Mahomes is

1041
00:51:33,600 --> 00:51:35,680
Speaker 2: playing in that game. That's why I'm not allowing it

1042
00:51:35,800 --> 00:51:38,280
Speaker 2: to get to that game, you know, but you're saying

1043
00:51:38,320 --> 00:51:41,160
Speaker 2: that he won't play in it. You're that that's why

1044
00:51:41,200 --> 00:51:44,359
Speaker 2: if he gets there, I actually maybe it's game.

1045
00:51:44,600 --> 00:51:46,160
Speaker 3: He's maybe the Patriots.

1046
00:51:45,840 --> 00:51:51,280
Speaker 1: Fan in me that recognizes how great this Chiefs run

1047
00:51:51,680 --> 00:51:53,680
Speaker 1: is and is going to be, and they have a

1048
00:51:53,760 --> 00:51:56,440
Speaker 1: chance to be better than the Patriots. It'll be different

1049
00:51:56,480 --> 00:51:59,520
Speaker 1: because that was twenty years and who knows, you'll see,

1050
00:51:59,680 --> 00:52:02,840
Speaker 1: but they have a chance to be better over a

1051
00:52:02,840 --> 00:52:04,879
Speaker 1: shorter period of time this year right now.

1052
00:52:04,880 --> 00:52:07,600
Speaker 3: They you know, there's almost an argument they already have. Uh.

1053
00:52:08,600 --> 00:52:11,720
Speaker 1: I do think those divisional round games sometimes are the toughest.

1054
00:52:11,960 --> 00:52:14,520
Speaker 1: You've come off of a little of a bye, and

1055
00:52:14,760 --> 00:52:17,839
Speaker 1: the other team maybe has played in this scenario and

1056
00:52:17,880 --> 00:52:21,080
Speaker 1: they're fantastic. So I do think it's just as likely

1057
00:52:21,160 --> 00:52:23,920
Speaker 1: that the Texans beat them as some other team, and

1058
00:52:23,960 --> 00:52:26,120
Speaker 1: that it's that first game and that it could happen.

1059
00:52:26,200 --> 00:52:28,120
Speaker 1: And I just wanted to be a little more fun

1060
00:52:28,400 --> 00:52:31,480
Speaker 1: and throw this great Texans team into a big spe Listen.

1061
00:52:31,600 --> 00:52:37,200
Speaker 2: I like the Texans and they should pop. And there's

1062
00:52:37,200 --> 00:52:39,640
Speaker 2: a you know, a pretty decent history of this is

1063
00:52:39,680 --> 00:52:42,480
Speaker 2: how you do it. The Everyboddy knows the rookie quarterback,

1064
00:52:42,560 --> 00:52:45,600
Speaker 2: your rookie contract quarterback, load the team up, go go,

1065
00:52:45,600 --> 00:52:51,279
Speaker 2: go got it. I think having the having the by

1066
00:52:51,320 --> 00:52:56,000
Speaker 2: your predictions, the Chiefs are going to win zero playoff games.

1067
00:52:56,360 --> 00:52:58,840
Speaker 2: And I think that's lunis.

1068
00:52:59,360 --> 00:53:00,880
Speaker 3: Why it happened. It's happened.

1069
00:53:01,000 --> 00:53:02,759
Speaker 2: It's it's literally.

1070
00:53:02,560 --> 00:53:05,319
Speaker 1: Like an NFL history where the best team loses and

1071
00:53:05,400 --> 00:53:08,520
Speaker 1: sometimes it happened history.

1072
00:53:08,560 --> 00:53:11,120
Speaker 2: I'm john about Patrick mahomes history, and I'm just saying

1073
00:53:11,200 --> 00:53:14,960
Speaker 2: he is the it's never it's never happened to him, and.

1074
00:53:15,040 --> 00:53:17,000
Speaker 1: That's never gonna it's not gonna get you do understand

1075
00:53:17,040 --> 00:53:20,400
Speaker 1: as Chiefs, and that will not continue his whole career.

1076
00:53:20,480 --> 00:53:24,040
Speaker 2: There will will be games, there will be seasons like this. Yeah,

1077
00:53:24,040 --> 00:53:27,440
Speaker 2: but the I don't think this is the year. Also,

1078
00:53:27,719 --> 00:53:32,040
Speaker 2: if I'm not mistaken, your Patriots did make eight consecutive

1079
00:53:32,040 --> 00:53:36,040
Speaker 2: AFC title games, so that's doable. Twenty eleven to twenty eighteen,

1080
00:53:36,080 --> 00:53:39,239
Speaker 2: you guys were in eight straight AFC title games. And

1081
00:53:39,400 --> 00:53:42,719
Speaker 2: since part of Mahomes' legacy is going to be to

1082
00:53:42,800 --> 00:53:46,240
Speaker 2: break all of your guys records, I guess he's gonna

1083
00:53:46,239 --> 00:53:46,839
Speaker 2: have to go to.

1084
00:53:46,920 --> 00:53:51,399
Speaker 3: Nine I always said that was the.

1085
00:53:50,440 --> 00:53:51,439
Speaker 2: Most impressive thing.

1086
00:53:52,280 --> 00:53:52,440
Speaker 3: Four.

1087
00:53:52,640 --> 00:53:55,360
Speaker 1: It's hard to pick, but that that was at the

1088
00:53:55,400 --> 00:53:58,120
Speaker 1: time it felt. And why I always thought twenty fourteen

1089
00:53:58,280 --> 00:54:01,520
Speaker 1: was the most satisfying because because they were so good

1090
00:54:01,520 --> 00:54:04,080
Speaker 1: for that decade, that they were sneaky. The best team

1091
00:54:04,080 --> 00:54:06,239
Speaker 1: in NFL history not to win a Super Bowl for

1092
00:54:06,400 --> 00:54:09,080
Speaker 1: a decade was the twenty two thousand and five through

1093
00:54:09,080 --> 00:54:12,960
Speaker 1: twenty thirteen Patriots, and so it was it was great

1094
00:54:13,000 --> 00:54:14,640
Speaker 1: to get off of that. And who, I don't know

1095
00:54:14,640 --> 00:54:16,759
Speaker 1: if the Chiefs all. I don't think they'll ever have

1096
00:54:16,880 --> 00:54:19,759
Speaker 1: that long of a stretch without Mahomes. And yet I

1097
00:54:19,760 --> 00:54:21,480
Speaker 1: still would take the under. And this is a whole

1098
00:54:21,480 --> 00:54:24,360
Speaker 1: other podcast. I would take the under of Mahomes getting

1099
00:54:24,560 --> 00:54:26,680
Speaker 1: to six or seven, whichever one you want to use,

1100
00:54:26,760 --> 00:54:28,640
Speaker 1: whether it's Patriots or Brady.

1101
00:54:28,360 --> 00:54:30,879
Speaker 3: No, I would take the under. Discuss football, you have.

1102
00:54:30,840 --> 00:54:33,080
Speaker 2: To take the under. If the numbers six and a half,

1103
00:54:33,120 --> 00:54:36,000
Speaker 2: you have to take the under. With that said, it

1104
00:54:36,200 --> 00:54:41,880
Speaker 2: couldn't have started better. I didn't give mine Chiefs over Bengals, Okay,

1105
00:54:41,960 --> 00:54:46,200
Speaker 2: and me and that this this whole cause you know,

1106
00:54:46,760 --> 00:54:50,080
Speaker 2: the Chiefs have ended the Bengals season in consecutive years.

1107
00:54:50,840 --> 00:54:53,680
Speaker 2: Last year, nobody cares because it was Jake Browning, but

1108
00:54:53,719 --> 00:54:57,480
Speaker 2: they did do it and for three straight years. I

1109
00:54:57,480 --> 00:54:59,600
Speaker 2: think that would be good. And I like, listen, I like,

1110
00:55:00,440 --> 00:55:06,520
Speaker 2: I really like the Bengals in Burrow and I am.

1111
00:55:07,600 --> 00:55:11,080
Speaker 2: I am worried if they don't win the Super Bowl

1112
00:55:11,160 --> 00:55:14,400
Speaker 2: this year, they being the Bengals when they're going to

1113
00:55:14,440 --> 00:55:17,759
Speaker 2: have a great opportunity, a great opportunity again in the

1114
00:55:17,800 --> 00:55:22,160
Speaker 2: short order, because it does seem like ownership might be

1115
00:55:22,760 --> 00:55:25,440
Speaker 2: messing this up a bit, and that I don't understand

1116
00:55:25,480 --> 00:55:27,160
Speaker 2: the Jamar Chase thing at all. I get the T

1117
00:55:27,280 --> 00:55:30,080
Speaker 2: Higgins thing, I get it, but the T Higgins thing

1118
00:55:30,160 --> 00:55:33,080
Speaker 2: only made sense because it's like, we can't pay you

1119
00:55:33,360 --> 00:55:35,880
Speaker 2: because we're about to give Jamar all this money to

1120
00:55:35,960 --> 00:55:38,160
Speaker 2: do the t Higgins thing and then not give Jamar

1121
00:55:38,280 --> 00:55:40,279
Speaker 2: all the money is baffling to me.

1122
00:55:41,000 --> 00:55:45,719
Speaker 1: Yeah, in their top level talent on defense and we'll

1123
00:55:45,719 --> 00:55:48,800
Speaker 1: see maybe Amarius Mims turns out into that offense. Whereas

1124
00:55:49,120 --> 00:55:50,680
Speaker 1: I'm with you that this is kind of their year.

1125
00:55:50,880 --> 00:55:52,880
Speaker 1: I think I spend most of the off season thinking

1126
00:55:54,320 --> 00:55:57,520
Speaker 1: I'm gonna either pick the Bengals or the Bills to

1127
00:55:57,880 --> 00:56:00,160
Speaker 1: win the Super Bowl. That this feels like it's going

1128
00:56:00,200 --> 00:56:02,120
Speaker 1: to be one of their years. And I just settled

1129
00:56:02,120 --> 00:56:03,520
Speaker 1: on the bills of CAMPI.

1130
00:56:03,360 --> 00:56:06,480
Speaker 2: It'll happen eventually. It'll happen eventually. I just think the

1131
00:56:07,320 --> 00:56:11,760
Speaker 2: I think that the laser focus on a three peat

1132
00:56:12,040 --> 00:56:17,600
Speaker 2: and potentially letting Travis walk off into the sunset. Everyone's

1133
00:56:17,600 --> 00:56:19,200
Speaker 2: gonna be long, but we'll see.

1134
00:56:19,719 --> 00:56:24,080
Speaker 1: I appreciate you, Nick, right again FS one. First thing's

1135
00:56:24,120 --> 00:56:27,359
Speaker 1: first noon Pacific three eastern. What's Right with Nick Wright?

1136
00:56:27,480 --> 00:56:31,560
Speaker 1: Check out the podcast. It's a YouTube show. This was

1137
00:56:31,719 --> 00:56:34,359
Speaker 1: a pleasure. It's a daily show. So I do want

1138
00:56:34,360 --> 00:56:37,279
Speaker 1: to have you back on at some point. Maybe this

1139
00:56:37,360 --> 00:56:39,839
Speaker 1: is an off season show where we compare who's going

1140
00:56:39,920 --> 00:56:42,839
Speaker 1: to have a better career. Carlos Alcarez your guy. I

1141
00:56:42,840 --> 00:56:45,640
Speaker 1: do love that you're pumping up Alcarez on a national stage.

1142
00:56:45,680 --> 00:56:47,960
Speaker 1: We need more tennis talk or mahomes. I mean that

1143
00:56:48,040 --> 00:56:49,120
Speaker 1: that's an interesting I mean.

1144
00:56:49,040 --> 00:56:51,520
Speaker 2: I was at the Real Quick before we go, because

1145
00:56:51,560 --> 00:56:56,640
Speaker 2: you'll love this. So yesterday I'm texting with Greg about

1146
00:56:56,719 --> 00:57:00,120
Speaker 2: today's show and he just texts me go out or

1147
00:57:00,280 --> 00:57:01,520
Speaker 2: go Alcarez or something.

1148
00:57:01,800 --> 00:57:03,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, And I was, like, I said, in the time,

1149
00:57:03,600 --> 00:57:05,440
Speaker 1: we can watch some Alcarez. I figured on TV. I

1150
00:57:05,520 --> 00:57:07,400
Speaker 1: know you're a big fan, and I had, and I had,

1151
00:57:07,440 --> 00:57:08,920
Speaker 1: and I was like, how the hell. I was in

1152
00:57:08,960 --> 00:57:11,400
Speaker 1: my car on my way to the US Open. I

1153
00:57:11,440 --> 00:57:13,640
Speaker 1: was like, how the hell did he know? I was like,

1154
00:57:13,680 --> 00:57:14,839
Speaker 1: did I say it on the air?

1155
00:57:14,920 --> 00:57:15,440
Speaker 3: Like, I don't know.

1156
00:57:15,880 --> 00:57:18,960
Speaker 2: So I get to the US Open like fifteen minutes

1157
00:57:18,960 --> 00:57:23,040
Speaker 2: after the match starts and just buy upper level seats

1158
00:57:23,080 --> 00:57:30,000
Speaker 2: for al Carez the for like eighty bucks. And I'm

1159
00:57:30,040 --> 00:57:35,320
Speaker 2: watching the kid qualifier. Looks like he's going to win

1160
00:57:35,360 --> 00:57:38,080
Speaker 2: the second set, and I'm like, all right, now we

1161
00:57:38,160 --> 00:57:41,240
Speaker 2: might have a real match. I'm in the stadium. I've

1162
00:57:41,280 --> 00:57:43,920
Speaker 2: already paid for tickets. I go on a ticketing app

1163
00:57:45,320 --> 00:57:51,800
Speaker 2: and see four throw sideline right where you serve. There

1164
00:57:51,800 --> 00:57:54,920
Speaker 2: are tickets still for sale. But now it's eight thirty.

1165
00:57:55,200 --> 00:57:59,040
Speaker 2: So those tickets, which were twenty two hundred dollars earlier

1166
00:57:59,080 --> 00:58:01,640
Speaker 2: in the day, we're down to two hundred bucks a

1167
00:58:01,680 --> 00:58:06,080
Speaker 2: seat in the stadium. I bought two tickets just so

1168
00:58:06,160 --> 00:58:10,200
Speaker 2: I could move down and watch and watch from there,

1169
00:58:10,680 --> 00:58:14,600
Speaker 2: and me and Mark Carmon and Danny Parkins went down

1170
00:58:15,080 --> 00:58:17,760
Speaker 2: and watched from the fourth row. It was great. I

1171
00:58:17,880 --> 00:58:18,680
Speaker 2: love the US Open.

1172
00:58:18,720 --> 00:58:20,080
Speaker 3: I'll be back my live tennis.

1173
00:58:20,480 --> 00:58:23,919
Speaker 1: I'm very happy with my life here in Los Angeles

1174
00:58:23,960 --> 00:58:28,040
Speaker 1: and my family. The thing that happens every year this

1175
00:58:28,080 --> 00:58:30,760
Speaker 1: time of year that I wish I was having my

1176
00:58:30,760 --> 00:58:32,600
Speaker 1: old life when I lived in New York for ten years.

1177
00:58:32,640 --> 00:58:35,080
Speaker 1: I would love so doing a football show and heading

1178
00:58:35,160 --> 00:58:37,640
Speaker 1: up to Flushing a handful of times during this US Open.

1179
00:58:37,800 --> 00:58:39,640
Speaker 1: Nick Wright can do that and like I said, check

1180
00:58:39,680 --> 00:58:42,120
Speaker 1: them out every day on his shows. We will be
