1
00:00:00,440 --> 00:00:03,560
Speaker 1: Welcome in What's Right with Nick Great episode three oh one,

2
00:00:03,960 --> 00:00:09,000
Speaker 1: and this will be a different type episode. This podcast

3
00:00:09,080 --> 00:00:13,080
Speaker 1: really hasn't existed since I've had to do a show

4
00:00:13,240 --> 00:00:19,360
Speaker 1: like this. I don't think I've done a well. Damn,

5
00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:24,480
Speaker 1: that just happened after a big Chiefs game since the

6
00:00:24,480 --> 00:00:29,840
Speaker 1: pods existed, maybe in its early early infancy, but that

7
00:00:30,040 --> 00:00:36,320
Speaker 1: just happened. Chiefs get absolutely rocked in the game to

8
00:00:36,640 --> 00:00:40,600
Speaker 1: become the greatest team ever. So we will get into

9
00:00:40,600 --> 00:00:44,680
Speaker 1: all of that. Also, at the end of today's episode,

10
00:00:45,080 --> 00:00:49,199
Speaker 1: we will get a reaction to Luka do Ancich's debut

11
00:00:49,240 --> 00:00:52,760
Speaker 1: with the Lakers. Those really should be their own separate

12
00:00:53,159 --> 00:00:56,520
Speaker 1: podcasts or events. However, we're gonna do it all today.

13
00:00:56,720 --> 00:01:00,120
Speaker 1: Want happen over the weekend, wanna happened last night? And

14
00:01:00,600 --> 00:01:04,600
Speaker 1: here is I thought the right thing to do, we've

15
00:01:04,640 --> 00:01:07,040
Speaker 1: been building up to it all year, was to have

16
00:01:07,120 --> 00:01:11,959
Speaker 1: my first reaction to the Chiefs loss be on first

17
00:01:11,959 --> 00:01:16,479
Speaker 1: things first. When I made that choice, I didn't necessarily

18
00:01:16,560 --> 00:01:19,080
Speaker 1: know Demanse. Demanse's here, by the way, if you're new

19
00:01:19,120 --> 00:01:21,360
Speaker 1: to the pod, Demanse's my son. He lives in LA's

20
00:01:21,440 --> 00:01:25,480
Speaker 1: my coast. I didn't necessarily know when I made that

21
00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:30,399
Speaker 1: decision that my first reaction to the game would be

22
00:01:30,480 --> 00:01:35,160
Speaker 1: given covered in confetti while a marching band circled me

23
00:01:35,240 --> 00:01:39,240
Speaker 1: and played around me. But I've had time to process,

24
00:01:39,560 --> 00:01:42,800
Speaker 1: to think, to figure out what didn't didn't happen in

25
00:01:42,840 --> 00:01:47,600
Speaker 1: that football game, And maybe the most interesting parts of

26
00:01:47,640 --> 00:01:53,320
Speaker 1: that are what it means for Patrick mahomes pursuit of

27
00:01:53,560 --> 00:01:56,440
Speaker 1: being the greatest football player of all time. How big

28
00:01:56,440 --> 00:01:59,640
Speaker 1: of a stumble this was. Whether, as some have said,

29
00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:04,640
Speaker 1: that makes this that conversation moot it ends it. I

30
00:02:04,640 --> 00:02:07,080
Speaker 1: don't think that is the case, but I will say

31
00:02:07,440 --> 00:02:10,239
Speaker 1: what didn't didn't happen. Also, one other quick note before

32
00:02:10,280 --> 00:02:13,840
Speaker 1: we get to it, announce over the weekend. You know

33
00:02:13,919 --> 00:02:18,960

55
00:03:29,919 --> 00:03:32,440
Speaker 1: Listen to the Right Time with Bamani Jones, one of

56
00:03:32,520 --> 00:03:38,600
Speaker 1: my favorite podcasts ever. All right, pal, enough preamble, Let's

57
00:03:38,600 --> 00:03:39,360
Speaker 1: get to the game.

58
00:03:40,640 --> 00:03:46,040
Speaker 2: All right, Yeah, Pops, that was that was really, really,

59
00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:49,560
Speaker 2: really bad. I felt super bad for you the entire time.

60
00:03:49,760 --> 00:03:53,720
Speaker 2: I I had fried chicken wings Yester Sunday during the

61
00:03:53,760 --> 00:03:57,000
Speaker 2: game for the first time since college, and I feel

62
00:03:57,000 --> 00:03:59,560
Speaker 2: like I did it very well. Sat down to eat

63
00:03:59,760 --> 00:04:02,680
Speaker 2: have halftime, you know, thought it was gonna get better,

64
00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:05,120
Speaker 2: and I just couldn't eat bad for you, And I

65
00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:05,920
Speaker 2: went to go check.

66
00:04:05,800 --> 00:04:08,160
Speaker 3: Your tweets and I was like, you know, he never

67
00:04:08,200 --> 00:04:09,840
Speaker 3: really tweets during these situations.

68
00:04:09,880 --> 00:04:12,000
Speaker 2: And what really, I think what really made it worse

69
00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:14,280
Speaker 2: was that I went to go see your tweets and

70
00:04:14,320 --> 00:04:16,440
Speaker 2: you had been feeling good. You're like, they're down ten.

71
00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:19,040
Speaker 2: This is the part of the dynasty. They can finally

72
00:04:19,040 --> 00:04:21,880
Speaker 2: start playing football, and it just kept getting worse.

73
00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:27,239
Speaker 1: So that's a great place to start. So being down

74
00:04:27,279 --> 00:04:31,240
Speaker 1: ten in the Super Bowl for everyone else in league

75
00:04:31,320 --> 00:04:35,120
Speaker 1: history except for two guys, is a death sentence. There

76
00:04:35,160 --> 00:04:41,520
Speaker 1: have been six double digit comebacks in Super Bowl history,

77
00:04:42,440 --> 00:04:48,279
Speaker 1: and three have been by Patrick, two have been by

78
00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:52,200
Speaker 1: Tom and one other guy. So Tom obviously had the

79
00:04:52,200 --> 00:04:56,120
Speaker 1: twenty five point comeback and a ten point comeback against

80
00:04:56,240 --> 00:05:03,239
Speaker 1: the Seahawks. Patrick was down exactly ten points in both

81
00:05:03,279 --> 00:05:06,120
Speaker 1: Super Bowls against the Niners and the previous Super Bowl

82
00:05:06,160 --> 00:05:10,040
Speaker 1: against Philly, and maybe one of the producers can pull up.

83
00:05:10,080 --> 00:05:13,479
Speaker 1: I forget who the other ten point comeback was. I

84
00:05:13,480 --> 00:05:16,839
Speaker 1: think it was in the eighties doesn't really matter, that's it.

85
00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:20,799
Speaker 1: So prior to Tom Brady there had been one double

86
00:05:20,839 --> 00:05:24,839
Speaker 1: digit comeback in NFL history. After in Super Bowl history,

87
00:05:25,160 --> 00:05:28,160
Speaker 1: after Tom, there had only been three. There have now

88
00:05:28,200 --> 00:05:32,799
Speaker 1: been six, and so being down ten, I was like, okay,

89
00:05:33,320 --> 00:05:37,719
Speaker 1: you can deal with that. Then the pick six happens.

90
00:05:38,760 --> 00:05:43,080
Speaker 1: And it's not just that the pick six happens and

91
00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:47,760
Speaker 1: you're all of a sudden down seventeen. Oh my mistake.

92
00:05:47,800 --> 00:05:50,839
Speaker 1: By the way, here it is the other double digit comebacks.

93
00:05:51,960 --> 00:05:54,840
Speaker 1: New Orleans over Indy was a double digit comeback, and

94
00:05:54,880 --> 00:05:58,240
Speaker 1: the one I couldn't remember. Washington fell down ten nothing

95
00:05:58,279 --> 00:06:01,520
Speaker 1: to Denver in eighty seven and then scored forty two

96
00:06:01,640 --> 00:06:05,840
Speaker 1: consecutive points. So I guess there have been seven, not six.

97
00:06:05,920 --> 00:06:10,719
Speaker 1: All right, thanks guys. The the reason the pick six

98
00:06:10,839 --> 00:06:16,280
Speaker 1: was so concerning was it was an unforced error, and

99
00:06:16,320 --> 00:06:20,680
Speaker 1: it was when Patrick knew, all right, not a big

100
00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:26,800
Speaker 1: margin for error anymore. And then after that, when there

101
00:06:26,960 --> 00:06:30,440
Speaker 1: was zero margin for error, the Chiefs went three and out,

102
00:06:31,440 --> 00:06:40,640
Speaker 1: and in that moment, if I'm being totally honest, I said, oh,

103
00:06:40,680 --> 00:06:45,000
Speaker 1: they're gonna lose. It's like they're just they they have

104
00:06:45,160 --> 00:06:49,039
Speaker 1: not they have done one thing, and they continued to

105
00:06:49,080 --> 00:06:53,120
Speaker 1: do it all game really well, which is bottle up Saquon.

106
00:06:54,120 --> 00:07:00,920
Speaker 1: But the offense cannot figure out how to lock these guys.

107
00:07:02,040 --> 00:07:10,760
Speaker 1: And this is an cliche, old obvious point about beating

108
00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:15,160
Speaker 1: a great quarterback, but it's been true forever. The single

109
00:07:15,240 --> 00:07:19,240
Speaker 1: best way to beat a great quarterback is if you

110
00:07:19,360 --> 00:07:23,640
Speaker 1: can get home with four, if you can get pressure

111
00:07:23,760 --> 00:07:28,600
Speaker 1: without sending pressure, without sending a blitz. That's how the

112
00:07:28,680 --> 00:07:31,920
Speaker 1: Giants beat the Patriots twice in the Super Bowl. That's

113
00:07:31,960 --> 00:07:37,120
Speaker 1: how you neutralize Peyton. And that's twice. Now how Maholmes

114
00:07:37,480 --> 00:07:42,280
Speaker 1: has gotten undone in a Super Bowl. But unlike the

115
00:07:42,320 --> 00:07:46,600
Speaker 1: Tampa Super Bowl were despite the constant pressure, Patrick was

116
00:07:46,640 --> 00:07:51,240
Speaker 1: actually pretty magical. The stats don't back it up, but

117
00:07:51,320 --> 00:07:54,720
Speaker 1: it the eye test does. This game was the opposite.

118
00:07:54,320 --> 00:07:59,360
Speaker 1: The stats look better than the actual game did. Team

119
00:07:59,360 --> 00:08:02,840
Speaker 1: had twenty three yards in the first half and the

120
00:08:03,040 --> 00:08:08,000
Speaker 1: opening drive of the game third down, easy pass to

121
00:08:08,080 --> 00:08:13,360
Speaker 1: Travis Kelcey, a little behind it, and Travis didn't catch it.

122
00:08:13,360 --> 00:08:15,840
Speaker 1: It wouldn't have been. It was catchable, but not a

123
00:08:15,840 --> 00:08:19,960
Speaker 1: great pass. It was a drop but not a horrible one.

124
00:08:20,040 --> 00:08:24,480
Speaker 1: But it's like that was a oh and that was

125
00:08:24,560 --> 00:08:27,760
Speaker 1: without pressure. There was you know, his game is zero

126
00:08:27,960 --> 00:08:31,560
Speaker 1: zero and no no literal you know, pressure from the

127
00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:35,680
Speaker 1: defensive line. And then on the very next drive, after

128
00:08:35,679 --> 00:08:39,480
Speaker 1: the Chiefs got another stop, Mahomes got his left tackle

129
00:08:39,559 --> 00:08:43,120
Speaker 1: Joe Tooney, pushed into him right as he's releasing the ball,

130
00:08:43,200 --> 00:08:44,599
Speaker 1: throws it short at the pick, and all of a

131
00:08:44,640 --> 00:08:50,480
Speaker 1: sudden's twenty four to nothing and the game's over now.

132
00:08:50,520 --> 00:08:54,960
Speaker 1: I did convince myself at halftime the game. I felt

133
00:08:54,960 --> 00:08:57,680
Speaker 1: it was over at seventeen nothing, and then at the

134
00:08:57,720 --> 00:09:01,560
Speaker 1: long halftime I convinced myself in fact was not over

135
00:09:02,080 --> 00:09:06,400
Speaker 1: because and this was the you know, the cruelest thirty

136
00:09:06,480 --> 00:09:11,640
Speaker 1: minutes of the game. And I mentioned this on TV,

137
00:09:11,800 --> 00:09:15,640
Speaker 1: and it seems like some people had forgotten it that

138
00:09:17,200 --> 00:09:23,400
Speaker 1: this dynastic run started in a game that Speaking of Bamani,

139
00:09:24,040 --> 00:09:29,160
Speaker 1: I think he was with me for the divisional round

140
00:09:29,200 --> 00:09:33,760
Speaker 1: against the Houston Texans where they were down twenty four

141
00:09:33,800 --> 00:09:37,520
Speaker 1: to nothing and then went on a fifty one to

142
00:09:37,559 --> 00:09:41,720
Speaker 1: seven run. And so a halftime, I'm like, what wouldn't

143
00:09:41,800 --> 00:09:46,800
Speaker 1: that be something if the Bookends are being down twenty

144
00:09:46,840 --> 00:09:50,720
Speaker 1: four to nothing, if with Brady mister down twenty eight

145
00:09:50,760 --> 00:09:57,200
Speaker 1: to three, in the booth. Patrick orchestrates a twenty four

146
00:09:57,280 --> 00:10:00,760
Speaker 1: point comeback in the second half of the Super Bowl,

147
00:10:02,120 --> 00:10:04,600
Speaker 1: but instead they instantly went three and out again. And

148
00:10:04,640 --> 00:10:09,440
Speaker 1: it was just that. And so I will talk big

149
00:10:09,559 --> 00:10:16,640
Speaker 1: picture chief stuff at length. Shortly, the game analysis for

150
00:10:16,720 --> 00:10:21,760
Speaker 1: the Chiefs is very simple. They couldn't block them and

151
00:10:21,880 --> 00:10:28,800
Speaker 1: Patrick was skittish. And so I this is how do.

152
00:10:28,720 --> 00:10:30,120
Speaker 3: You think he played? Bat Are you saying that he

153
00:10:30,160 --> 00:10:30,679
Speaker 3: played badly?

154
00:10:31,520 --> 00:10:36,560
Speaker 1: Yes, I do think he played poorly. I I So

155
00:10:36,760 --> 00:10:41,680
Speaker 1: I think demand's that given how the line played, the

156
00:10:41,840 --> 00:10:48,120
Speaker 1: Chiefs were going to lose. Given how Patrick played, they

157
00:10:48,160 --> 00:10:52,560
Speaker 1: were going to get blown out like that. It And

158
00:10:52,640 --> 00:10:58,160
Speaker 1: so if Patrick had on the times he did have time,

159
00:10:58,679 --> 00:11:03,600
Speaker 1: or he escaped the price sure thrown on target, on time,

160
00:11:03,960 --> 00:11:07,640
Speaker 1: accurate passes, they would have been able to stay within

161
00:11:07,840 --> 00:11:11,600
Speaker 1: reach at least. But Philly, you know, and will get

162
00:11:11,679 --> 00:11:15,679
Speaker 1: to jail In shortly. They dared jail In to pass

163
00:11:15,760 --> 00:11:18,319
Speaker 1: and Jalen was more than up for the challenge. They

164
00:11:18,360 --> 00:11:23,560
Speaker 1: stopped Saquon, it didn't matter. Philly's defense was flying around.

165
00:11:24,480 --> 00:11:26,360
Speaker 1: And so I thought this was one of the poorest

166
00:11:26,360 --> 00:11:29,439
Speaker 1: games of Patrick's career. There is no way around it.

167
00:11:30,280 --> 00:11:33,320
Speaker 1: And so he said it, and because he's such a

168
00:11:33,360 --> 00:11:37,440
Speaker 1: great leader, he took probably more of the blame than

169
00:11:37,520 --> 00:11:40,760
Speaker 1: he had to. But when you are the best player

170
00:11:40,760 --> 00:11:44,719
Speaker 1: in the sport, when you are going for history, and

171
00:11:44,760 --> 00:11:48,760
Speaker 1: when you, in my opinion, play of your twenty one

172
00:11:48,880 --> 00:11:52,160
Speaker 1: career playoff games the worst. I think this was worse

173
00:11:52,200 --> 00:11:55,720
Speaker 1: than the Tampa game by a wide margin, the worst

174
00:11:55,760 --> 00:11:59,760
Speaker 1: game of your career. You gotta wear it like that

175
00:12:00,160 --> 00:12:02,080
Speaker 1: just is what it is. You just have to wear it.

176
00:12:02,080 --> 00:12:06,319
Speaker 2: Go ahead, Demantsey on the sideline, we were comparing under

177
00:12:06,360 --> 00:12:07,200
Speaker 2: Brady all the time.

178
00:12:07,880 --> 00:12:09,439
Speaker 3: When when he got down like.

179
00:12:09,400 --> 00:12:12,000
Speaker 2: That, it kind of seemed like he sat in his

180
00:12:12,040 --> 00:12:15,520
Speaker 2: own head instead of like motivating his team around him.

181
00:12:15,559 --> 00:12:19,199
Speaker 1: So that bart I don't I don't agree with that,

182
00:12:19,760 --> 00:12:23,720
Speaker 1: because in the first half he seemed on the sideline

183
00:12:24,160 --> 00:12:28,880
Speaker 1: motivational and trying, you know that, trying to get guys

184
00:12:28,920 --> 00:12:34,280
Speaker 1: going right. The shots of him sitting and Kelsey sitting

185
00:12:34,320 --> 00:12:36,920
Speaker 1: with like a blank look on his face and Chris

186
00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:40,400
Speaker 1: Jones falling to the ground, that was all when it

187
00:12:40,480 --> 00:12:42,959
Speaker 1: was over. Like, yeah, I know the game wasn't over,

188
00:12:43,040 --> 00:12:45,680
Speaker 1: but they were down thirty points. In the second half

189
00:12:45,720 --> 00:12:50,360
Speaker 1: of the Super Bowl, they hadn't crossed midfield. So I

190
00:12:50,400 --> 00:12:52,720
Speaker 1: don't think and I want to say one other thing

191
00:12:52,720 --> 00:12:57,400
Speaker 1: about Patrick's game. I do not consider what he did

192
00:12:57,440 --> 00:13:01,920
Speaker 1: at the end stat padding in the traditional sense. Stat

193
00:13:01,960 --> 00:13:05,680
Speaker 1: padding in the traditional senses. I know we've lost, I

194
00:13:05,720 --> 00:13:08,960
Speaker 1: don't care. I'm gonna make my numbers look better. I

195
00:13:09,120 --> 00:13:11,400
Speaker 1: consider what Patrick did at the end of that game.

196
00:13:12,040 --> 00:13:15,040
Speaker 1: I'm listen, man, I'm fighting to the very end. And

197
00:13:15,240 --> 00:13:18,160
Speaker 1: you know in doing that, he got blasted in the

198
00:13:18,200 --> 00:13:19,360
Speaker 1: face and a strip sack.

199
00:13:19,480 --> 00:13:21,160
Speaker 2: I think the guy is just not gonna do anything

200
00:13:21,160 --> 00:13:22,560
Speaker 2: for the rest of the game just because they're down,

201
00:13:22,760 --> 00:13:23,600
Speaker 2: not gonna.

202
00:13:23,320 --> 00:13:27,600
Speaker 1: Well no, I mean something. You get those allegations when

203
00:13:27,640 --> 00:13:31,160
Speaker 1: the other team has their backups in. Yeah, you're not

204
00:13:31,280 --> 00:13:35,040
Speaker 1: just running the ball to end the game. But there

205
00:13:35,360 --> 00:13:38,200
Speaker 1: it's the super Bowl. If or a regular season game

206
00:13:38,520 --> 00:13:40,480
Speaker 1: and they were down like that, they would have just

207
00:13:40,559 --> 00:13:43,319
Speaker 1: gotten out of there. It's the super Bowl. You got

208
00:13:43,360 --> 00:13:45,440
Speaker 1: to play it to the end, and you know what

209
00:13:45,480 --> 00:13:47,840
Speaker 1: I mean, and do the onside kicks and go for

210
00:13:47,920 --> 00:13:49,720
Speaker 1: the deep shots and do what's.

211
00:13:49,440 --> 00:13:51,480
Speaker 3: The game in the future, it will make it look

212
00:13:51,480 --> 00:13:52,160
Speaker 3: a little bit better.

213
00:13:52,800 --> 00:13:56,720
Speaker 1: Well, that's what's right. So that's the that's the reason

214
00:13:56,920 --> 00:14:00,720
Speaker 1: for stat padding is so in five ten years you

215
00:14:00,760 --> 00:14:04,160
Speaker 1: look back on it, you're like, oh, listen, Like, if

216
00:14:04,160 --> 00:14:08,280
Speaker 1: someone didn't watch this game a decade from now and

217
00:14:08,320 --> 00:14:11,680
Speaker 1: they just look at it, they would probably think, oh,

218
00:14:11,760 --> 00:14:15,400
Speaker 1: the Chiefs defense just got annihilated. Offense, did you know?

219
00:14:15,640 --> 00:14:18,439
Speaker 1: The turnovers are bad? But scored twenty points? And that's

220
00:14:18,480 --> 00:14:20,120
Speaker 1: not what it was. They were down thirty four to nothing.

221
00:14:20,720 --> 00:14:22,720
Speaker 1: They were down thirty four to nothing, and the defense,

222
00:14:22,760 --> 00:14:26,000
Speaker 1: in my opinion at that moment, had really only allowed

223
00:14:26,040 --> 00:14:29,800
Speaker 1: seventeen points because seven was on a pick six, seven

224
00:14:29,960 --> 00:14:32,880
Speaker 1: was right after a super short field interception, and three

225
00:14:33,120 --> 00:14:36,280
Speaker 1: was on a super short field after the fumble, and

226
00:14:36,360 --> 00:14:41,960
Speaker 1: so like that's the that was the problem, right, No,

227
00:14:42,440 --> 00:14:45,360
Speaker 1: the deep listen, they shut down Saquon. They did what

228
00:14:45,400 --> 00:14:48,200
Speaker 1: people thought they couldn't do, and they got their ass kicked.

229
00:14:49,160 --> 00:14:55,120
Speaker 1: And so this is where I will I will go

230
00:14:55,640 --> 00:15:00,280
Speaker 1: precedent for this, and I you know, I have aid

231
00:15:00,400 --> 00:15:04,560
Speaker 1: for a while that Mahomes is trying to speed run

232
00:15:04,640 --> 00:15:12,080
Speaker 1: Brady's career. I didn't account for the seven Super Bowl

233
00:15:12,640 --> 00:15:17,600
Speaker 1: to be a part of that. So in our lifetimes, Demons,

234
00:15:19,120 --> 00:15:24,440
Speaker 1: there have been two games total, two games that were

235
00:15:24,520 --> 00:15:30,200
Speaker 1: played where if a team won that game, they would

236
00:15:30,240 --> 00:15:34,120
Speaker 1: have the universal claim of greatest team of all time.

237
00:15:35,840 --> 00:15:40,800
Speaker 1: One game was the undefeated seven Patriots up against the

238
00:15:40,840 --> 00:15:44,800
Speaker 1: New York Giants, and the other game was this Sunday,

239
00:15:46,320 --> 00:15:51,840
Speaker 1: and in both games, a team with a seemingly invincible

240
00:15:51,920 --> 00:15:54,880
Speaker 1: quarterback who had been the best team in the sport

241
00:15:55,000 --> 00:15:59,440
Speaker 1: all year long, played its single worst game of the season.

242
00:16:00,720 --> 00:16:06,800
Speaker 1: That Patriots game was close because the defense played well,

243
00:16:06,880 --> 00:16:10,600
Speaker 1: Brady didn't have as many turnovers, and because they weren't

244
00:16:10,640 --> 00:16:13,120
Speaker 1: playing a team nearly as good as this Eagles team.

245
00:16:13,480 --> 00:16:16,600
Speaker 1: But that Patriots team, which set the all time record

246
00:16:16,600 --> 00:16:20,920
Speaker 1: for points, scored that Patriots team that was favored in

247
00:16:21,000 --> 00:16:24,160
Speaker 1: some games that year de Monse by twenty four and

248
00:16:24,160 --> 00:16:30,240
Speaker 1: a half points. That Patriots team scored fourteen points on

249
00:16:30,320 --> 00:16:34,080
Speaker 1: the precipice of history, played its worst game of the year.

250
00:16:35,520 --> 00:16:39,400
Speaker 1: And this Chiefs tea saying, no, I'm not saying levels

251
00:16:39,440 --> 00:16:41,960
Speaker 1: the two out. What I'm what I'm.

252
00:16:41,800 --> 00:16:49,800
Speaker 4: Saying is that we have now had two instances in

253
00:16:49,880 --> 00:16:55,440
Speaker 4: my forty years where a team walked on the field saying, man,

254
00:16:56,080 --> 00:16:56,480
Speaker 4: if we.

255
00:16:56,560 --> 00:17:01,440
Speaker 1: Finished this, we are the goat team for the Patriots.

256
00:17:01,440 --> 00:17:04,080
Speaker 1: It was a single season pursuit. For the Chiefs, it

257
00:17:04,160 --> 00:17:09,840
Speaker 1: was a three year pursuit, and in both games, whether

258
00:17:09,880 --> 00:17:13,879
Speaker 1: it's coincidence or the moment got to him, they couldn't

259
00:17:13,880 --> 00:17:20,320
Speaker 1: finish the deal. And that loss still haunts Brady. He

260
00:17:20,440 --> 00:17:24,160
Speaker 1: brings it up all the time. And I think one

261
00:17:24,200 --> 00:17:29,119
Speaker 1: of the reasons that loss still haunts Brady is because

262
00:17:31,800 --> 00:17:35,960
Speaker 1: he knew. He obviously knows now because the career is over,

263
00:17:36,320 --> 00:17:39,679
Speaker 1: but I think he knew at the moment, this is

264
00:17:39,680 --> 00:17:42,959
Speaker 1: the only chance I'm gonna get at this, The only

265
00:17:43,119 --> 00:17:46,440
Speaker 1: chance I'm gonna get at an undefeated season is right here,

266
00:17:46,680 --> 00:17:52,440
Speaker 1: right now. And I think for Patrick, he knew, man,

267
00:17:54,000 --> 00:17:59,000
Speaker 1: the only chance I'm gonna get to three peat, to

268
00:17:59,160 --> 00:18:02,840
Speaker 1: win a game, one, one more win and we're the

269
00:18:02,840 --> 00:18:07,720
Speaker 1: greatest team ever is right here, right now. And it

270
00:18:07,800 --> 00:18:12,479
Speaker 1: appeared to get to him a bit. And so that

271
00:18:12,720 --> 00:18:19,199
Speaker 1: to me is the story of this game. Eagles fans.

272
00:18:19,359 --> 00:18:21,600
Speaker 1: I promise I will give you your flowers in a bit.

273
00:18:21,960 --> 00:18:24,520
Speaker 1: But Demanse asked some of these follow up questions before

274
00:18:24,560 --> 00:18:25,720
Speaker 1: we get to legacy stuff.

275
00:18:27,160 --> 00:18:31,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, so, who is one of the nicest slash meanest

276
00:18:31,040 --> 00:18:33,040
Speaker 2: people that you heard from after the game. I know,

277
00:18:33,080 --> 00:18:34,840
Speaker 2: folks are probably reaching out to you seeing how you

278
00:18:34,840 --> 00:18:35,160
Speaker 2: were doing.

279
00:18:35,720 --> 00:18:40,520
Speaker 1: Or I haven't read the text. Okay, I have not

280
00:18:41,320 --> 00:18:45,119
Speaker 1: I have not read the texts Uh, that's what yesterday

281
00:18:45,200 --> 00:18:45,680
Speaker 1: I say.

282
00:18:45,720 --> 00:18:48,119
Speaker 2: I texted you during the game and you responded to

283
00:18:48,160 --> 00:18:49,760
Speaker 2: me like yesterday at work or something like that.

284
00:18:50,040 --> 00:18:52,640
Speaker 1: Right, Well, I responded to you when I saw it,

285
00:18:53,200 --> 00:18:57,760
Speaker 1: which was you text me again yesterday something else and

286
00:18:58,920 --> 00:19:03,239
Speaker 1: Demanse sent me a document yesterday and my response was

287
00:19:03,280 --> 00:19:05,920
Speaker 1: thanks so much, Pal, I love you so much. It

288
00:19:06,080 --> 00:19:09,639
Speaker 1: was made no sense in the document that he and

289
00:19:09,640 --> 00:19:12,840
Speaker 1: then I realized, like, oh, I, but I was reading

290
00:19:13,240 --> 00:19:17,280
Speaker 1: the text you sent me right after the game. No, Like,

291
00:19:17,400 --> 00:19:21,119
Speaker 1: let me look at the phone right now, I'm not

292
00:19:21,720 --> 00:19:24,000
Speaker 1: I have this is Can I put this up to

293
00:19:24,040 --> 00:19:27,280
Speaker 1: the camera because people will think I'm lying? What do

294
00:19:27,359 --> 00:19:32,720
Speaker 1: you think the number above my text messages is right

295
00:19:32,760 --> 00:19:38,480
Speaker 1: now for unread unopen texts now, keep in mind it

296
00:19:38,640 --> 00:19:42,879
Speaker 1: normally hovers around two hundred, like to be fair, because

297
00:19:42,880 --> 00:19:48,800
Speaker 1: I'm weird about texting and the TuS so if it

298
00:19:48,920 --> 00:19:53,160
Speaker 1: and keep in mind this number, I'm not in the

299
00:19:53,160 --> 00:19:56,000
Speaker 1: only group chats I'm in are for this show and

300
00:19:56,040 --> 00:19:59,480
Speaker 1: the TV show, and those aren't like peppering messages back

301
00:19:59,520 --> 00:20:02,679
Speaker 1: in the wa it normally hovers around two hundred. What

302
00:20:02,680 --> 00:20:04,000
Speaker 1: do you think the number is right now?

303
00:20:04,200 --> 00:20:05,720
Speaker 3: Probably in the fives.

304
00:20:05,760 --> 00:20:10,480
Speaker 1: Now does this show No, it's probably not gonna work.

305
00:20:10,720 --> 00:20:14,440
Speaker 1: Five hundred and thirty eight, Yeah, five hundred and thirty eight.

306
00:20:15,080 --> 00:20:17,400
Speaker 1: I don't know if those I gotta tell you, if

307
00:20:17,400 --> 00:20:22,000
Speaker 1: you're watching this, if you text me during that football game,

308
00:20:22,520 --> 00:20:25,359
Speaker 1: the only chance I'll ever see it is the next

309
00:20:25,359 --> 00:20:29,800
Speaker 1: time you text me. I'm not. I Am not going

310
00:20:30,640 --> 00:20:36,879
Speaker 1: to relive those feelings. I'm not. I uh yeah, like

311
00:20:37,000 --> 00:20:40,200
Speaker 1: cause I'm part of my morning so I'm so ingrained

312
00:20:40,200 --> 00:20:45,320
Speaker 1: in my morning routines of listening to podcasts. I now

313
00:20:45,480 --> 00:20:50,359
Speaker 1: have just gone back and found a bunch of like

314
00:20:50,440 --> 00:20:54,359
Speaker 1: the NBA trade deadline podcasts I didn't listen to during

315
00:20:54,440 --> 00:20:57,240
Speaker 1: super Bowl week, and that's what I'm listening to. So

316
00:20:57,440 --> 00:21:02,000
Speaker 1: like I'm I'm getting, I'm getting people's reaction to the

317
00:21:02,040 --> 00:21:06,040
Speaker 1: Mark Williams trade that has since been vetoed Like I am,

318
00:21:06,119 --> 00:21:10,680
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna consume any super Bowl content and it's

319
00:21:10,720 --> 00:21:14,080
Speaker 1: gonna be too painful. I have to create the content.

320
00:21:14,359 --> 00:21:17,680
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna consume it. I also, I don't know

321
00:21:17,720 --> 00:21:23,320
Speaker 1: if you remember this, but I I'm sure you remember

322
00:21:24,720 --> 00:21:28,960
Speaker 1: I bet Brazil to win the World Cup and said

323
00:21:29,760 --> 00:21:32,840
Speaker 1: that the money I bet on it was gonna pay

324
00:21:32,880 --> 00:21:35,560
Speaker 1: for a trip to go to Brazil after the World Cup,

325
00:21:36,200 --> 00:21:41,520
Speaker 1: and I booked the trip preemptively. Is two Februaries ago,

326
00:21:42,119 --> 00:21:44,320
Speaker 1: and then Brazil didn't win the World Cup, but your

327
00:21:44,320 --> 00:21:48,239
Speaker 1: mom and I went anyway. Our trip we're taking in

328
00:21:48,440 --> 00:21:50,000
Speaker 1: a week and a half. I don't think do you

329
00:21:50,040 --> 00:21:55,800
Speaker 1: know where we're going? No, So so this is sometimes

330
00:21:55,840 --> 00:21:59,280
Speaker 1: things work out the way they're supposed to. Because I'm

331
00:21:59,280 --> 00:22:04,320
Speaker 1: not trying to act like I'm a real celebrity. I'm not,

332
00:22:04,920 --> 00:22:14,240
Speaker 1: but I am shockingly recognized in I'm more recognized. It

333
00:22:14,240 --> 00:22:19,879
Speaker 1: would appear from my experience in the Caribbean than in

334
00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:23,760
Speaker 1: New York City. And I think it's got like the

335
00:22:23,760 --> 00:22:27,439
Speaker 1: the amount of and by locals by like guys that

336
00:22:27,760 --> 00:22:30,200
Speaker 1: because I think a lot of those guys love American

337
00:22:30,280 --> 00:22:34,520
Speaker 1: sports and they don't always get the games, but they

338
00:22:34,560 --> 00:22:37,959
Speaker 1: watch a ton of content YouTube, you know, TikTok stuff.

339
00:22:38,320 --> 00:22:42,960
Speaker 1: So it would be a nightmare for me to on

340
00:22:43,119 --> 00:22:46,320
Speaker 1: vacation go somewhere where a lot of people know me

341
00:22:47,359 --> 00:22:50,720
Speaker 1: and by and normally in February, your mom and I

342
00:22:50,760 --> 00:22:53,240
Speaker 1: go somewhere in the Caribbean to be warm. I am

343
00:22:53,359 --> 00:22:58,359
Speaker 1: literally going halfway around the world as far away as

344
00:22:58,440 --> 00:23:00,840
Speaker 1: I could, and it was already booked. We're going to

345
00:23:00,920 --> 00:23:06,760
Speaker 1: New Zealand. We're going to New Zealand, eighteen hour do

346
00:23:06,960 --> 00:23:12,119
Speaker 1: stop flight. And I god knows, like I haven't given

347
00:23:12,200 --> 00:23:17,359
Speaker 1: any Rugby takes or all see rules football takes, so

348
00:23:17,480 --> 00:23:20,960
Speaker 1: I will get to hide from this. Because here's the

349
00:23:21,000 --> 00:23:24,359
Speaker 1: other thing. Where do I like to go gamble? The

350
00:23:24,440 --> 00:23:28,280
Speaker 1: answer that question is Philadelphia. Well that's off the board

351
00:23:28,400 --> 00:23:32,520
Speaker 1: for months, maybe life Like I can't deal with these people,

352
00:23:32,960 --> 00:23:38,359
Speaker 1: and I was pretty yeah, I just can't deal. I

353
00:23:38,480 --> 00:23:39,840
Speaker 1: really just can't deal.

354
00:23:41,520 --> 00:23:41,840
Speaker 4: All right.

355
00:23:42,119 --> 00:23:44,359
Speaker 1: You asked a couple of other producer questions before we

356
00:23:44,400 --> 00:23:45,639
Speaker 1: get to the legacy stuff.

357
00:23:47,760 --> 00:23:50,160
Speaker 2: So all the first things, first stunts you guys had

358
00:23:50,200 --> 00:23:53,359
Speaker 2: it planned, were some of them unplanned. That happened since

359
00:23:53,440 --> 00:24:00,280
Speaker 2: you know, the Chiefs lost some of that little impromptu.

360
00:23:58,520 --> 00:24:02,639
Speaker 1: That was all Wild's hub, Dusty and Brew. I was.

361
00:24:03,840 --> 00:24:05,840
Speaker 1: I told them I knew they were gonna do something.

362
00:24:05,880 --> 00:24:08,200
Speaker 1: I didn't want to know what they were gonna do, and.

363
00:24:08,200 --> 00:24:08,919
Speaker 3: Just go ahead.

364
00:24:09,160 --> 00:24:12,119
Speaker 1: That was by the way, let me look real quick,

365
00:24:13,000 --> 00:24:16,720
Speaker 1: that's gonna be our I don't know what the TV

366
00:24:16,920 --> 00:24:19,240
Speaker 1: ratings are gonna end up. I assume they're gonna be good.

367
00:24:20,359 --> 00:24:23,520
Speaker 1: But not to sound like a jackass there, but people

368
00:24:23,600 --> 00:24:28,760
Speaker 1: want to see me in pain? That twenty five minute

369
00:24:29,840 --> 00:24:35,560
Speaker 1: A block has right now, it posted eighteen hours ago.

370
00:24:36,400 --> 00:24:39,200
Speaker 1: Has let me check? Oh gosh, darn it. Don't actually

371
00:24:39,240 --> 00:24:47,080
Speaker 1: play the video one million, nineteen thousand views eighteen hours

372
00:24:47,080 --> 00:24:54,600
Speaker 1: ago of people just wanting to see ten thousand comments Wow,

373
00:24:55,400 --> 00:24:57,240
Speaker 1: wanting to see me in pain.

374
00:24:59,560 --> 00:25:01,959
Speaker 2: You say that people can't hate watch for game, but

375
00:25:02,119 --> 00:25:03,280
Speaker 2: can they hate watch your show?

376
00:25:03,920 --> 00:25:04,920
Speaker 3: Do you think that happens?

377
00:25:05,160 --> 00:25:09,399
Speaker 1: Well, I don't think. I think the people that want

378
00:25:09,480 --> 00:25:12,800
Speaker 1: to see me in pain like the show. I think

379
00:25:12,800 --> 00:25:14,840
Speaker 1: it's like, you know what I mean, I get it,

380
00:25:14,880 --> 00:25:18,080
Speaker 1: So I don't. I don't think people want something they

381
00:25:18,119 --> 00:25:21,000
Speaker 1: don't like. They you know what I mean? So I

382
00:25:21,000 --> 00:25:27,639
Speaker 1: think they like the show. But it also felt again

383
00:25:27,800 --> 00:25:32,000
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go Galaxy brain again. I think the kids

384
00:25:32,080 --> 00:25:36,040
Speaker 1: call this cope. But whatever, I think you'll agree with

385
00:25:36,119 --> 00:25:42,640
Speaker 1: me here for what I do for a living and

386
00:25:42,720 --> 00:25:49,360
Speaker 1: for our TV show and podcasts, specifically, the Chiefs. Losing

387
00:25:50,040 --> 00:25:56,639
Speaker 1: that game made next season exponentially more interesting.

388
00:25:57,640 --> 00:25:59,880
Speaker 2: I'm so glad I've literally said this to like three

389
00:26:00,080 --> 00:26:01,080
Speaker 2: four core workers yesterday.

390
00:26:01,080 --> 00:26:03,879
Speaker 3: I'm glad you had the same thought. I'm going places.

391
00:26:03,960 --> 00:26:10,120
Speaker 1: But yeah, yeah, that and it's because had they won,

392
00:26:12,359 --> 00:26:18,600
Speaker 1: every Chief's conversation next year is boring. It's either well,

393
00:26:18,640 --> 00:26:20,800
Speaker 1: it's not just people get tired of it. There's no

394
00:26:21,680 --> 00:26:26,320
Speaker 1: there's no stakes attached to it. Demanse the they had

395
00:26:26,359 --> 00:26:31,280
Speaker 1: they won, it's every Chiefs conversation is either a compliment

396
00:26:31,359 --> 00:26:38,240
Speaker 1: fest or a poorly constructed you probably don't believe it.

397
00:26:38,760 --> 00:26:42,919
Speaker 1: Here's why you can doubt them now. And it wouldn't

398
00:26:42,960 --> 00:26:45,800
Speaker 1: be there, you know what I mean. And so now

399
00:26:46,280 --> 00:26:50,240
Speaker 1: they have lost, they got their asses kicked. There's questions

400
00:26:50,280 --> 00:26:56,199
Speaker 1: about Travis's future. And if someone goes into next year

401
00:26:56,240 --> 00:26:59,160
Speaker 1: and is like, no, I mean, Philly's the best team.

402
00:26:59,600 --> 00:27:02,760
Speaker 1: That's a totally fair take. Somebody goes into next year

403
00:27:02,800 --> 00:27:05,879
Speaker 1: and says the Eagle, I'm sorry, the Bills or the

404
00:27:06,000 --> 00:27:10,879
Speaker 1: Ravens are going to copy the blueprint of what Philly did. That.

405
00:27:11,280 --> 00:27:13,199
Speaker 1: I might disagree with their ability to do that, but

406
00:27:13,280 --> 00:27:17,000
Speaker 1: that's a fair take. Like all those there's real stakes

407
00:27:17,040 --> 00:27:22,760
Speaker 1: attached now, yeah, the and there is too, Yes, and

408
00:27:22,760 --> 00:27:27,520
Speaker 1: an again, I promise we'll get to Philly, but let's uh,

409
00:27:28,119 --> 00:27:30,960
Speaker 1: let's go to the legacy stuff and before we get

410
00:27:31,000 --> 00:27:31,479
Speaker 1: to Philly.

411
00:27:32,160 --> 00:27:32,320
Speaker 3: Uh.

412
00:27:32,400 --> 00:27:34,879
Speaker 2: Yeah, So this is definitely one of, if not the

413
00:27:34,920 --> 00:27:37,399
Speaker 2: worst game of Patrick Mahomes's career. At the half, he

414
00:27:37,440 --> 00:27:41,000
Speaker 2: had thirty three yards, two picks, ten point seven passer rating.

415
00:27:41,680 --> 00:27:42,640
Speaker 3: Yeah.

416
00:27:43,000 --> 00:27:46,679
Speaker 2: Reid couldn't scheme up anything. Uh and Patrick Mahomes couldn't

417
00:27:46,680 --> 00:27:48,800
Speaker 2: seem to get away from them? Is how what does

418
00:27:48,840 --> 00:27:49,960
Speaker 2: this mean for his legacy?

419
00:27:51,000 --> 00:27:55,920
Speaker 1: Okay, so this isn't This might be the most important

420
00:27:55,960 --> 00:28:01,600
Speaker 1: conversation on the pod, except for when I have to

421
00:28:01,600 --> 00:28:03,320
Speaker 1: tell the story about what happened to me the night

422
00:28:03,320 --> 00:28:08,159
Speaker 1: before the Super Bowl with Jalen Hurt's family, who was delightful.

423
00:28:08,280 --> 00:28:21,920
Speaker 1: But it's an unbelievable story. So this simultaneously means everything

424
00:28:23,280 --> 00:28:30,159
Speaker 1: and nothing to Mahomes' legacy. It means everything to his

425
00:28:30,280 --> 00:28:35,720
Speaker 1: legacy in one specific way, his pursuit of Tom Brady

426
00:28:35,880 --> 00:28:40,040
Speaker 1: be the greatest player of all time. It took a

427
00:28:40,320 --> 00:28:44,360
Speaker 1: huge hit. And I understand Tom's three and two in

428
00:28:44,440 --> 00:28:47,040
Speaker 1: Super Bowls through you know, in this until he was

429
00:28:47,080 --> 00:28:49,800
Speaker 1: thirty five, I you know, lost two of his first

430
00:28:49,840 --> 00:28:54,120
Speaker 1: five like Patrick. I mentioned the seven corlers. This, I

431
00:28:54,160 --> 00:28:56,520
Speaker 1: get all that. That's not I'm not making the point

432
00:28:56,520 --> 00:28:59,480
Speaker 1: of like, oh, you can't overcome this loss. I'm making

433
00:28:59,520 --> 00:29:03,840
Speaker 1: the point that this was a chance to do something

434
00:29:03,880 --> 00:29:06,600
Speaker 1: Tom had never done, and he almost assuredly never get

435
00:29:06,640 --> 00:29:09,680
Speaker 1: this chance again. So then it kind of does become

436
00:29:10,400 --> 00:29:14,160
Speaker 1: a count. The rings count, the accomplishment's thing. And I

437
00:29:14,200 --> 00:29:16,840
Speaker 1: don't think Patrick's going to play for a quarter century

438
00:29:16,880 --> 00:29:21,360
Speaker 1: like Tom did, and so there and Patrick's not going

439
00:29:21,440 --> 00:29:24,680
Speaker 1: to be doing it in a division that has zero

440
00:29:24,800 --> 00:29:29,280
Speaker 1: competent coaches or quarterbacks for his entire career like Tom did.

441
00:29:29,560 --> 00:29:32,959
Speaker 1: So it just so for the pursuit of Brady, this

442
00:29:33,240 --> 00:29:36,920
Speaker 1: was massive for him. Compared to anyone else in the

443
00:29:37,000 --> 00:29:41,920
Speaker 1: league or in league history, it means almost nothing. He

444
00:29:41,960 --> 00:29:46,280
Speaker 1: had lapped them all already. So I let me give you,

445
00:29:47,120 --> 00:29:51,720
Speaker 1: so who are so? For the for the other quarterbacks

446
00:29:51,760 --> 00:29:55,920
Speaker 1: currently playing, If someone wants to say, Jalen Hurts gets

447
00:29:55,920 --> 00:29:58,040
Speaker 1: to call himself best quarterback in the league right now,

448
00:29:58,280 --> 00:30:00,600
Speaker 1: I'll listen to it, and again I'll to Jalen in

449
00:30:00,640 --> 00:30:03,360
Speaker 1: a bit. I think that would be a bridge way

450
00:30:03,400 --> 00:30:07,960
Speaker 1: too far. But it's like, hey, he's played in the

451
00:30:07,960 --> 00:30:10,280
Speaker 1: super Bowl twice in the last three years. He was

452
00:30:10,320 --> 00:30:14,160
Speaker 1: awesome in both games. He was the champion. Now like

453
00:30:14,520 --> 00:30:18,680
Speaker 1: he gets it like that. The argument against that is

454
00:30:19,160 --> 00:30:22,720
Speaker 1: to me a one on like, are we even being

455
00:30:22,800 --> 00:30:25,760
Speaker 1: serious here? He thinks the best quarterback in football. But

456
00:30:26,560 --> 00:30:28,600
Speaker 1: you can just be like, no, the wins. I am

457
00:30:28,640 --> 00:30:32,520
Speaker 1: a wins guy. That's what it is. That's all fine.

458
00:30:32,880 --> 00:30:37,440
Speaker 1: I so I oddly, even though I don't think Jalen

459
00:30:37,560 --> 00:30:40,960
Speaker 1: is as good as Josh Lamar or Joe, I will

460
00:30:41,040 --> 00:30:44,120
Speaker 1: listen to a Jalen Hurts deserves the spot at top

461
00:30:44,160 --> 00:30:49,920
Speaker 1: Mahomes Mountain before I will listen to Josh Lamar or

462
00:30:50,000 --> 00:31:00,200
Speaker 1: Joe do. Because what cannot happen is how someone performs

463
00:31:00,840 --> 00:31:08,680
Speaker 1: in a Super Bowl knocks them down. So someone who

464
00:31:09,400 --> 00:31:14,960
Speaker 1: a direct competitor who they beat and outplayed to get

465
00:31:15,000 --> 00:31:21,040
Speaker 1: to that Super Bowl gets elevated. So in twenty twenty two,

466
00:31:21,560 --> 00:31:24,840
Speaker 1: the reason Joe Burrow didn't have a chance to have

467
00:31:24,960 --> 00:31:29,400
Speaker 1: this done to him by the Eagles defense was because

468
00:31:29,880 --> 00:31:33,360
Speaker 1: Patrick beat him and outplayed him in the AFC Championship Game.

469
00:31:33,960 --> 00:31:37,720
Speaker 1: In twenty twenty three, the reason Lamar didn't have a

470
00:31:37,880 --> 00:31:41,160
Speaker 1: chance to have this done to him by the San

471
00:31:41,160 --> 00:31:45,719
Speaker 1: Francisco forty nine ers is because Patrick beat him and

472
00:31:45,760 --> 00:31:49,400
Speaker 1: outplayed him in the AFC Championship Game. And in twenty

473
00:31:49,480 --> 00:31:53,440
Speaker 1: twenty four, the reason Josh Allen didn't have a chance

474
00:31:53,760 --> 00:31:56,560
Speaker 1: to have this done to him by this Eagles defense

475
00:31:56,800 --> 00:31:59,640
Speaker 1: is because Patrick beat him and outplayed him in the

476
00:31:59,680 --> 00:32:04,680
Speaker 1: afa Championship Game. So what this game means for mahomes

477
00:32:04,840 --> 00:32:13,600
Speaker 1: current standing amongst contemporaries is nothing. Nothing. What it means

478
00:32:13,640 --> 00:32:18,520
Speaker 1: for his standing amongst the all time greats, well, I

479
00:32:18,520 --> 00:32:22,080
Speaker 1: don't think anybody is going to argue, oh he Now

480
00:32:22,400 --> 00:32:25,120
Speaker 1: if someone were going to like, who are the other guys?

481
00:32:25,120 --> 00:32:29,480
Speaker 1: He's up against the only other guy other than Braid. Again,

482
00:32:29,560 --> 00:32:34,000
Speaker 1: Brady is here. So we're talking about everyone beneath Brady Well,

483
00:32:34,040 --> 00:32:38,480
Speaker 1: who's been to as many Super Bowls as Patrick only Lway.

484
00:32:39,280 --> 00:32:42,640
Speaker 1: Did Elway ever get blown out? Uh? Yeah? Did he

485
00:32:42,680 --> 00:32:46,200
Speaker 1: ever lose Super Bowls? Lost his first three? So it

486
00:32:46,280 --> 00:32:50,880
Speaker 1: is is that a thing that we're worried about here?

487
00:32:51,160 --> 00:32:55,040
Speaker 1: So we're gonna say John Elway. John Lway lost Super

488
00:32:55,040 --> 00:32:57,719
Speaker 1: Bowl fifty five to ten, and it was, by the way,

489
00:32:57,920 --> 00:33:00,320
Speaker 1: after losing a Super Bowl forty two to ten, and

490
00:33:00,400 --> 00:33:03,560
Speaker 1: after losing a Super Bowl thirty nine to twenty. So okay,

491
00:33:03,800 --> 00:33:08,920
Speaker 1: so elway, we're throwing l Way out Peyton Manning Well,

492
00:33:08,960 --> 00:33:14,040
Speaker 1: Peyton Manning. Peyton Manning lost to Super Bowl forty three

493
00:33:14,080 --> 00:33:18,600
Speaker 1: to eight, very similar circumstances, and it was after he

494
00:33:18,720 --> 00:33:23,960
Speaker 1: had arguably the greatest season to any quarterbacks ever had. Okay,

495
00:33:24,000 --> 00:33:27,400
Speaker 1: so we're not gonna elevate those two guys. The argument

496
00:33:28,440 --> 00:33:34,320
Speaker 1: for elevation of one guy Joe Cool Joe Montana. Joe

497
00:33:34,320 --> 00:33:38,560
Speaker 1: Montana played in four Super Bowls and played great in

498
00:33:38,840 --> 00:33:43,000
Speaker 1: all four Super Bowls, never threw a pick one all four.

499
00:33:43,920 --> 00:33:45,520
Speaker 1: You know, he was on the other side of that

500
00:33:45,720 --> 00:33:50,360
Speaker 1: Lway fifty five to ten law or loss. Here is

501
00:33:50,400 --> 00:33:55,200
Speaker 1: the problem, and this is the tentacles kind of of

502
00:33:56,000 --> 00:34:05,960
Speaker 1: part of old Lebron Jordan arguments Joe Montana from nineteen

503
00:34:06,040 --> 00:34:12,600
Speaker 1: eighty six eighty seven, I'm sorry, nineteen eighty five, eighty six,

504
00:34:12,680 --> 00:34:17,880
Speaker 1: eighty seven. In those three years, Demonse went to the

505
00:34:17,880 --> 00:34:23,440
Speaker 1: playoffs three times, lost in the playoffs in the first

506
00:34:23,440 --> 00:34:28,840
Speaker 1: in his first game all three times. In those three games,

507
00:34:29,480 --> 00:34:35,480
Speaker 1: had a total of zero touchdowns, had four interceptions, and

508
00:34:35,640 --> 00:34:43,560
Speaker 1: lost three times by double digits, once forty nine to three.

509
00:34:43,920 --> 00:34:48,160
Speaker 1: So the argument that like, Oh, if you're great, this

510
00:34:48,239 --> 00:34:52,359
Speaker 1: doesn't happen to you. That's three years in a row,

511
00:34:53,040 --> 00:34:56,520
Speaker 1: Smack dab in the middle of his prime where he

512
00:34:56,719 --> 00:35:00,000
Speaker 1: didn't win a playoff game where he got blown up

513
00:35:00,080 --> 00:35:05,120
Speaker 1: out where they couldn't move the football. He lost back

514
00:35:05,160 --> 00:35:07,160
Speaker 1: to back years in the playoffs where he has often

515
00:35:07,200 --> 00:35:12,200
Speaker 1: scored three points, where he didn't score a touchdown. So

516
00:35:13,080 --> 00:35:17,160
Speaker 1: what I won't And this is a fundamental belief I

517
00:35:17,200 --> 00:35:25,200
Speaker 1: have about sports. There is no championship round performance that

518
00:35:25,239 --> 00:35:29,200
Speaker 1: results in a loss that is worse than a first

519
00:35:29,320 --> 00:35:34,279
Speaker 1: round performance that results in a loss. Just this. And

520
00:35:34,360 --> 00:35:38,240
Speaker 1: so I don't know who else is on this list

521
00:35:38,280 --> 00:35:42,080
Speaker 1: we're gonna talk about, like, oh, we're gonna elevate Aaron

522
00:35:42,160 --> 00:35:44,959
Speaker 1: Rodgers never played brutal in a Super Bowl? Yeh, because

523
00:35:44,960 --> 00:35:48,040
Speaker 1: he played twenty years and got to one. And so

524
00:35:48,760 --> 00:35:53,399
Speaker 1: like you, you're correct. But so there's just so. If

525
00:35:53,440 --> 00:35:58,759
Speaker 1: the argument is Tom Brady is the only legend to

526
00:35:58,880 --> 00:36:03,640
Speaker 1: ever play quarterback in NFL history, fine, But if the

527
00:36:03,760 --> 00:36:10,200
Speaker 1: legend quarterback room has two or more seats, Patrick's the

528
00:36:10,239 --> 00:36:13,080
Speaker 1: first person to sit down in that second seat. And

529
00:36:13,120 --> 00:36:17,919
Speaker 1: that's with this performance. There is not a guy you

530
00:36:18,000 --> 00:36:25,320
Speaker 1: can find that didn't have horrifying postseason losses. There isn't one,

531
00:36:25,560 --> 00:36:33,080
Speaker 1: and Patrick remains the only player to never have the

532
00:36:33,120 --> 00:36:37,640
Speaker 1: horrifying postseason loss early. And this is again where if

533
00:36:37,680 --> 00:36:41,600
Speaker 1: we are going to be I think fair, we are

534
00:36:41,640 --> 00:36:45,920
Speaker 1: going to acknowledge that the year Tom was trying to

535
00:36:45,960 --> 00:36:50,120
Speaker 1: do what Patrick was trying to do this week, which

536
00:36:50,320 --> 00:36:57,440
Speaker 1: was execute a three peat. He lost in the divisional

537
00:36:57,560 --> 00:37:04,840
Speaker 1: round to Jay Cutler twenty seven thirteen, throwing a couple picks,

538
00:37:04,880 --> 00:37:09,600
Speaker 1: including a pick six. Like again, and that's wasn't a

539
00:37:09,640 --> 00:37:13,080
Speaker 1: super Bowl it was he played so poorly in that

540
00:37:13,160 --> 00:37:16,200
Speaker 1: game they didn't get to the super Bowl. Again. Tom's

541
00:37:16,239 --> 00:37:19,520
Speaker 1: resume is unimpeachable. But what we're not gonna do is

542
00:37:20,000 --> 00:37:24,920
Speaker 1: act like there is this group of quarterbacks current or

543
00:37:24,960 --> 00:37:31,160
Speaker 1: in the past who don't have some brutal playoff losses

544
00:37:31,200 --> 00:37:34,920
Speaker 1: on their resume. Patrick remains the only guy who I

545
00:37:34,920 --> 00:37:38,359
Speaker 1: would argue has just won. And you can say, yeah,

546
00:37:38,400 --> 00:37:40,279
Speaker 1: but it came on the biggest stage. Came on the

547
00:37:40,280 --> 00:37:42,440
Speaker 1: biggest stage, because that's the only stage he plays on.

548
00:37:43,680 --> 00:37:47,320
Speaker 1: It's unfathomable at this point that he would be playing

549
00:37:47,360 --> 00:37:50,359
Speaker 1: in the wild card round and getting blown out. You

550
00:37:50,400 --> 00:37:55,280
Speaker 1: can't even conceptualize that that happened to Joe Montana coming

551
00:37:55,320 --> 00:38:00,920
Speaker 1: off a Super Bowl in back to back years. So again,

552
00:38:01,040 --> 00:38:07,000
Speaker 1: like I I will, there's a lot of fair criticism

553
00:38:07,040 --> 00:38:10,840
Speaker 1: about this game. There is not a lot of Well,

554
00:38:11,840 --> 00:38:16,440
Speaker 1: now we have to rethink. You know where where Patrick

555
00:38:16,680 --> 00:38:21,719
Speaker 1: is in NFL history. That's not a thing now we do.

556
00:38:21,800 --> 00:38:25,319
Speaker 1: If you were calling him already the greatest of all time,

557
00:38:25,360 --> 00:38:28,520
Speaker 1: you got to rethink that. I said, had he won,

558
00:38:28,760 --> 00:38:31,160
Speaker 1: I would call him that he didn't. And the results

559
00:38:31,200 --> 00:38:34,520
Speaker 1: of the games matter. All right, We're gonna get to

560
00:38:36,000 --> 00:38:40,800
Speaker 1: my Super Bowl Leaves story. Nick Sirianni Jalen hurts Howie

561

562

Speaker 1: can fix that. I don't know in the v mix.

616
00:42:17,680 --> 00:42:24,440
Speaker 1: But if this DraftKings thing goes well enough over the

617
00:42:24,480 --> 00:42:31,600
Speaker 1: next six months, then my goal is for next football season, demonse,

618
00:42:33,239 --> 00:42:36,960
Speaker 1: for when you open the DraftKings app, for there to

619
00:42:37,120 --> 00:42:40,680
Speaker 1: be you know, like you know, the rights Picks of

620
00:42:40,719 --> 00:42:42,680
Speaker 1: the Week or whatever, the little picture of me and

621
00:42:42,719 --> 00:42:46,120
Speaker 1: people can follow it, and and there to be one

622
00:42:46,200 --> 00:42:48,880
Speaker 1: right next to it, Demonse's teaser of the week.

623
00:42:49,800 --> 00:42:51,080
Speaker 3: Yeah.

624
00:42:51,200 --> 00:42:56,279
Speaker 1: Nothing would be greater then the people open the DraftKings

625
00:42:56,360 --> 00:42:59,840
Speaker 1: app and they can just one click follow your teaser.

626
00:43:00,719 --> 00:43:04,719
Speaker 1: I think the only way we're gonna get that to

627
00:43:04,880 --> 00:43:09,399
Speaker 1: happen is if we I think, you know, we show

628
00:43:09,440 --> 00:43:12,680
Speaker 1: them that we can move action here. So we just

629
00:43:12,800 --> 00:43:16,960
Speaker 1: need people to use the DraftKings app, use promo code,

630
00:43:17,040 --> 00:43:20,840
Speaker 1: right w R I g h T. If you new customer,

631
00:43:22,640 --> 00:43:25,040
Speaker 1: bet five bucks, get one hundred million dollars in bonus bets,

632
00:43:25,480 --> 00:43:27,960
Speaker 1: and then we'll try to give out some plays on

633
00:43:28,040 --> 00:43:31,480
Speaker 1: the show, see if people follow them. Whatever it is. Again,

634
00:43:31,560 --> 00:43:37,640
Speaker 1: we have a very long documented history five out of

635
00:43:37,719 --> 00:43:40,960
Speaker 1: six years of being profitable against the spread and straight

636
00:43:41,000 --> 00:43:44,359
Speaker 1: up picks. Demons is on a one year run of

637
00:43:44,440 --> 00:43:50,040
Speaker 1: profitability and teasers, and so we've got six months to

638
00:43:50,120 --> 00:43:52,520
Speaker 1: kind of prove ourselves for the next football season. But

639
00:43:52,600 --> 00:43:58,279
Speaker 1: how sick would that being? Picture Demanse's teaser of the week.

640
00:44:00,560 --> 00:44:02,399
Speaker 1: All right, now to the Eagles piece of it?

641
00:44:03,280 --> 00:44:05,759
Speaker 2: All right, so we we know how you've always felt

642
00:44:05,800 --> 00:44:10,680
Speaker 2: about Sirianni Jalen Hurts, say struggles the middle, throws across

643
00:44:10,680 --> 00:44:12,600
Speaker 2: the field, you only like throw it up the sideline.

644
00:44:12,719 --> 00:44:18,480
Speaker 2: You even referred to Howie Roseman as a mock draft GM.

645
00:44:18,520 --> 00:44:20,759
Speaker 3: So where does this wind put them in your head?

646
00:44:22,360 --> 00:44:25,520
Speaker 1: All right, I'll do Hurts last, let me do Howie.

647
00:44:27,800 --> 00:44:31,960
Speaker 1: Howie is the apology I owe the loudest to. Even

648
00:44:32,040 --> 00:44:38,640
Speaker 1: though the doubt was probably the briefest and least renowned.

649
00:44:39,560 --> 00:44:44,840
Speaker 1: Everybody knows, you know, well documented doubts about Sirianni and

650
00:44:45,320 --> 00:44:47,719
Speaker 1: the things for good and for bad I've said about

651
00:44:47,800 --> 00:44:56,880
Speaker 1: Jalen Howie. I I didn't like the fact that when

652
00:44:56,920 --> 00:44:58,759
Speaker 1: I called him a mock draft GM, what I said

653
00:44:58,880 --> 00:45:05,239
Speaker 1: was how he rose Men's drafts are very best player available,

654
00:45:06,280 --> 00:45:10,279
Speaker 1: and they very often best player available is the mock

655
00:45:10,360 --> 00:45:13,759
Speaker 1: draft consensus best player. And so what would happen after

656
00:45:13,800 --> 00:45:17,840
Speaker 1: the drafts is all of the people who did mock drafts,

657
00:45:18,719 --> 00:45:22,520
Speaker 1: how he agreed with a lot of them, would draft

658
00:45:22,840 --> 00:45:25,280
Speaker 1: said player. And then I'm gonna be like, Howie Roseman

659
00:45:25,360 --> 00:45:28,280
Speaker 1: crushed it again, and I thought it was a little

660
00:45:29,080 --> 00:45:39,560
Speaker 1: tagai wag, tag tail wagging the doggish. However, whether that

661
00:45:39,760 --> 00:45:42,680
Speaker 1: you know, that just means that's the right way to draft,

662
00:45:42,880 --> 00:45:45,520
Speaker 1: whether it means my analysis was off, whatever, it means

663
00:45:45,960 --> 00:45:51,680
Speaker 1: that guy is built three distinct Super Bowl contenders and

664
00:45:51,719 --> 00:45:56,799
Speaker 1: two Super Bowl champions, did it with Carson, rebuilt it

665
00:45:56,840 --> 00:46:01,359
Speaker 1: on the fly with a totally different defense two years

666
00:46:01,400 --> 00:46:05,160
Speaker 1: ago with Jalen Hurts, and did it this year. And

667
00:46:05,239 --> 00:46:10,239
Speaker 1: so I think he has earned the claim of being

668
00:46:10,280 --> 00:46:14,279
Speaker 1: the second best GM in the entire NFL. So absolutely,

669
00:46:14,760 --> 00:46:17,920
Speaker 1: I mean, Howie Roseman, he also, you know, seemingly it

670
00:46:18,000 --> 00:46:20,880
Speaker 1: was him that because we know what in Siriani that

671
00:46:20,960 --> 00:46:24,160
Speaker 1: picked Kellen Moore and more importantly, Vic Fangio and Vic

672
00:46:24,239 --> 00:46:30,000
Speaker 1: Fangio just painted his masterpiece. So Howie full credit.

673
00:46:29,920 --> 00:46:32,080
Speaker 3: Right after the defense hues.

674
00:46:33,520 --> 00:46:37,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, last year the worst defensive football, worst defensive football.

675
00:46:37,400 --> 00:46:40,000
Speaker 1: It turned around with a lot of this and how

676
00:46:40,000 --> 00:46:43,680
Speaker 1: He's two rookies played great, Quinn and Mitchell and Cooper Dejan.

677
00:46:44,080 --> 00:46:46,600
Speaker 1: They brought in Zach Bond. He almost won Defensive Player

678
00:46:46,640 --> 00:46:49,759
Speaker 1: of the Year. Vick was unbelievable. Jalen Carter, who was

679
00:46:49,800 --> 00:46:53,000
Speaker 1: a risky top ten pick, was the second best d

680
00:46:53,120 --> 00:46:57,880
Speaker 1: tackle in football arguably this year. So honestly, honest to God,

681
00:46:58,239 --> 00:47:06,080
Speaker 1: full credit, full credit, Sirianne, I might just not know

682
00:47:07,320 --> 00:47:10,680
Speaker 1: what football players will relate to from a head coach,

683
00:47:12,520 --> 00:47:17,080
Speaker 1: like in the so coaches that I have been. Three

684
00:47:17,120 --> 00:47:19,480
Speaker 1: of the coaches that I have been most skeptical of

685
00:47:20,040 --> 00:47:24,520
Speaker 1: in the last five years, Dan Campbell after the bite

686
00:47:24,520 --> 00:47:31,120
Speaker 1: the knees press conference, I just the bite the knee

687
00:47:31,120 --> 00:47:36,160
Speaker 1: capture the I'm just being honest. My reaction was, Okay,

688
00:47:36,280 --> 00:47:39,560
Speaker 1: there's like meathead and then there's whatever this is. Turns

689
00:47:39,600 --> 00:47:42,960
Speaker 1: out he's like the sharpest analytics guy in the world.

690
00:47:43,239 --> 00:47:47,200
Speaker 1: His players would kill for him. He loved like, he's awesome.

691
00:47:47,840 --> 00:47:54,279
Speaker 1: My snap reaction was wrong. Second one, Joe Mizzoula. It's

692
00:47:54,360 --> 00:47:57,000
Speaker 1: like this dude's talking about the floor tastes and like blood.

693
00:47:57,040 --> 00:48:01,040
Speaker 1: He's watching the town. It was sixteen. He's just like,

694
00:48:01,080 --> 00:48:04,080
Speaker 1: he's a like, what is going on? He got elevated

695
00:48:04,120 --> 00:48:06,759
Speaker 1: to a position he wasn't ready for. He's awesome and

696
00:48:06,800 --> 00:48:11,680
Speaker 1: his players love him. Then they're Sirianni who probably had

697
00:48:11,680 --> 00:48:15,240
Speaker 1: the single worst opening press conference ever where he seemed

698
00:48:15,360 --> 00:48:19,319
Speaker 1: very unsure of himself and almost timid. It feels to

699
00:48:19,360 --> 00:48:22,600
Speaker 1: me like he then over corrected and was like, essentially,

700
00:48:23,000 --> 00:48:26,719
Speaker 1: I'm just going to embrace every South Philly stereotype there

701
00:48:26,760 --> 00:48:30,279
Speaker 1: ever has been and be brash and kind of a

702
00:48:30,680 --> 00:48:36,480
Speaker 1: you know, like provocative in these things. But again, wins

703
00:48:36,520 --> 00:48:43,359
Speaker 1: are a coaching stat and this team consistently wins. He

704
00:48:43,520 --> 00:48:46,439
Speaker 1: just won a Super Bowl where his team played one

705
00:48:46,480 --> 00:48:49,520
Speaker 1: of the best games any team has played in a

706
00:48:49,640 --> 00:48:54,440
Speaker 1: Super Bowl in forty years. He has to get credit.

707
00:48:55,760 --> 00:49:01,399
Speaker 1: He he has to be considered one of the five

708
00:49:01,480 --> 00:49:05,520
Speaker 1: or six best coaches in football. It's not fair to

709
00:49:05,680 --> 00:49:09,799
Speaker 1: elevate Kevin O'Connell, who I like a lot but has

710
00:49:09,840 --> 00:49:17,400
Speaker 1: accomplished nothing above Sirianni, it's not right like fair is fair.

711
00:49:17,880 --> 00:49:22,040
Speaker 1: So even if from a personality standpoint, I don't get it.

712
00:49:24,000 --> 00:49:27,839
Speaker 1: They've just won sixteen of seventeen games. The one lost

713
00:49:27,880 --> 00:49:31,400
Speaker 1: their quarterback got hurt. They blew out a team in

714
00:49:31,440 --> 00:49:35,440
Speaker 1: the NFC Championship Game, and blew out a team trying

715
00:49:35,440 --> 00:49:38,520
Speaker 1: to be the greatest team volts time in the Super Bowl.

716
00:49:40,640 --> 00:49:44,200
Speaker 1: Guys have been to the playoffs all four years. They've

717
00:49:44,200 --> 00:49:47,840
Speaker 1: had two awesome playoff runs like he gets the credit.

718
00:49:51,000 --> 00:49:57,839
Speaker 1: And then there's Jalen who would you Demond's eight and

719
00:49:57,920 --> 00:50:00,759
Speaker 1: be honest with me here, You're not gonna hurt, but

720
00:50:00,840 --> 00:50:05,440
Speaker 1: you're not make me mad hurt my feelings. Would you

721
00:50:05,520 --> 00:50:12,400
Speaker 1: have described me as a Jalen Hurts hater or a

722
00:50:12,560 --> 00:50:16,799
Speaker 1: Jailen Hurts skeptic if you were only given those two options,

723
00:50:17,160 --> 00:50:18,760
Speaker 1: like and again you can.

724
00:50:20,760 --> 00:50:23,719
Speaker 2: I'd say, I'd say you're a Lamar Jackson hater. As

725
00:50:23,800 --> 00:50:26,160
Speaker 2: far as Jalen Hurts, I'd see it as a skeptic.

726
00:50:27,440 --> 00:50:32,440
Speaker 1: So it's so funny you say that because I obviously

727
00:50:33,680 --> 00:50:37,560
Speaker 1: I shouldn't say obviously at this point, but I have

728
00:50:37,680 --> 00:50:41,440
Speaker 1: always thought Lamar is a better player than Jalen. But

729
00:50:41,560 --> 00:50:45,759
Speaker 1: I've also thought the way I've talked about Lamar and

730
00:50:45,840 --> 00:50:51,680
Speaker 1: holding him to an MVP standard, and the doubt and

731
00:50:51,719 --> 00:50:54,960
Speaker 1: the Aaron Judge and James Harden stuff in the choking

732
00:50:55,040 --> 00:51:01,600
Speaker 1: and Big Games. Calling me a Lamar Jackson hater, certainly

733
00:51:01,680 --> 00:51:03,960
Speaker 1: compared to the rest of the media, I think was

734
00:51:04,000 --> 00:51:09,120
Speaker 1: totally fair. I never would consider myself a jail and

735
00:51:09,200 --> 00:51:14,560
Speaker 1: Hurts hater. I thought that on the line graph of

736
00:51:14,680 --> 00:51:18,840
Speaker 1: Jalen Hurt's opinions in the media, mine is somewhere in

737
00:51:19,000 --> 00:51:24,200
Speaker 1: like the thirty fifth percentile. Like I probably was a

738
00:51:24,239 --> 00:51:27,960
Speaker 1: little more critical of him than the average media member,

739
00:51:28,239 --> 00:51:31,919
Speaker 1: but certainly not the most and certainly not a guy

740
00:51:32,000 --> 00:51:35,400
Speaker 1: that I spent a lot of time going after. I

741
00:51:35,560 --> 00:51:37,919
Speaker 1: just like was kind of matter of fact that, Hey,

742
00:51:38,480 --> 00:51:40,200
Speaker 1: I think the guy does a lot of things well,

743
00:51:40,680 --> 00:51:42,920
Speaker 1: but I don't really trust him as a drop back passer.

744
00:51:43,280 --> 00:51:45,399
Speaker 1: He had that unbelievable game in the Super Bowl two

745
00:51:45,440 --> 00:51:47,320
Speaker 1: years ago. I haven't seen him do it again since,

746
00:51:47,840 --> 00:51:51,680
Speaker 1: you know, to use the Barkley terms, you know, he's

747
00:51:51,719 --> 00:51:54,120
Speaker 1: a bus rider, not a bus driver. Like those are

748
00:51:54,120 --> 00:51:58,160
Speaker 1: the things I've said, and I'll get to his performance

749
00:51:58,160 --> 00:52:01,080
Speaker 1: in this game in a moment, but I have to

750
00:52:01,120 --> 00:52:07,200
Speaker 1: give you that setup for this story. So Saturday night,

751
00:52:07,320 --> 00:52:17,080
Speaker 1: Clutch Sports party at Brennan's in New Orleans, and it's

752
00:52:17,160 --> 00:52:22,280
Speaker 1: me your mom Demons again for the new audience members,

753
00:52:22,320 --> 00:52:24,279
Speaker 1: be like, you're hanging out with your close mom that's

754
00:52:24,280 --> 00:52:31,799
Speaker 1: also my wife and uh, your mom's best friend. You're

755
00:52:31,840 --> 00:52:39,120
Speaker 1: on Nicole. And as he's always the case at every

756
00:52:39,680 --> 00:52:43,279
Speaker 1: party I've ever been to with your mother, particularly when

757
00:52:43,280 --> 00:52:46,000
Speaker 1: it's your mother and Nicole, We're in there less than

758
00:52:46,120 --> 00:52:50,200
Speaker 1: five minutes and they have been invited into a section

759
00:52:50,400 --> 00:52:53,319
Speaker 1: to sit down because their feet hurt and because they're

760
00:52:53,360 --> 00:52:56,719
Speaker 1: beautiful women and they're just you know, pretty privilege. I

761
00:52:56,719 --> 00:53:01,160
Speaker 1: think it's called and so. And the people whose section

762
00:53:01,520 --> 00:53:04,879
Speaker 1: is you know it's you know, basically say you can

763
00:53:04,920 --> 00:53:08,200
Speaker 1: come into, but I don't. It's not I it's not

764
00:53:08,239 --> 00:53:11,200
Speaker 1: really my thing. Like I I'm not gonna like there's

765
00:53:11,280 --> 00:53:14,920
Speaker 1: limited seat space, there's all like the the even at

766
00:53:14,960 --> 00:53:17,520
Speaker 1: a party like this when the drinks are free, like

767
00:53:17,560 --> 00:53:20,839
Speaker 1: those are your bottles? Like I think I'm not I'm

768
00:53:20,840 --> 00:53:23,239
Speaker 1: not gonna I'm not gonna be stand offish. I'm not

769
00:53:23,239 --> 00:53:26,360
Speaker 1: gonna be rude, but I'm not. I'm not. I'm not

770
00:53:26,480 --> 00:53:29,239
Speaker 1: crossing the rope so to take you know what I mean.

771
00:53:29,400 --> 00:53:32,239
Speaker 1: And and also like, you know, I want to move

772
00:53:32,280 --> 00:53:33,960
Speaker 1: around the room. I know a lot of people there.

773
00:53:34,080 --> 00:53:36,880
Speaker 1: I you know, get my own drinks and whatever. But

774
00:53:36,920 --> 00:53:39,799
Speaker 1: they're hanging out there for an hour, hour and a half.

775
00:53:39,960 --> 00:53:42,840
Speaker 1: I'm moving back and forth. Say hi to my agent,

776
00:53:43,520 --> 00:53:48,000
Speaker 1: say hi to other people. Are not argue, but you know,

777
00:53:48,880 --> 00:53:51,480
Speaker 1: Philly fans come up to me and they're like, oh, man,

778
00:53:51,480 --> 00:53:54,200
Speaker 1: we're gonna kill you tomorrow. And I say, man, I

779
00:53:54,239 --> 00:53:56,800
Speaker 1: hope you enjoy tonight because tomorrow is gonna be the

780
00:53:56,840 --> 00:53:58,480
Speaker 1: worst day of your life. Little did I know?

781
00:53:58,840 --> 00:53:59,399
Speaker 3: You know what I mean?

782
00:53:59,400 --> 00:54:07,799
Speaker 1: Where a good time? A couple hours into the night. Oh,

783
00:54:08,520 --> 00:54:13,200
Speaker 1: another context for it, there's a UFC fight on the

784
00:54:13,239 --> 00:54:17,719
Speaker 1: Big Strickland pay per view and it's on Oh I

785
00:54:17,760 --> 00:54:21,359
Speaker 1: should have said this. This Clutch Sports party partnered with DraftKings.

786
00:54:21,560 --> 00:54:25,440
Speaker 1: It's DraftKings Clutch Sports party, so they have a giant

787
00:54:25,520 --> 00:54:29,840
Speaker 1: video board play in the fight. And where your mom

788
00:54:30,640 --> 00:54:34,600
Speaker 1: was sitting was like the perfect spot to watch the fight.

789
00:54:35,760 --> 00:54:38,920
Speaker 1: And I was into the fight. So once the fight started,

790
00:54:39,480 --> 00:54:43,360
Speaker 1: I moved over to where I'm standing right outside the

791
00:54:43,480 --> 00:54:48,799
Speaker 1: section watching this fight, and I stand there. You know

792
00:54:48,880 --> 00:54:52,080
Speaker 1: how I watched non chief sporting events. I just stand

793
00:54:52,200 --> 00:54:56,919
Speaker 1: totally still, arms crossed, like kind of looking. I don't

794
00:54:56,960 --> 00:54:59,040
Speaker 1: know crazy is the wrong word, but I'm just like,

795
00:54:59,520 --> 00:55:03,239
Speaker 1: I'm in in tensely watching the event. So I'm just

796
00:55:03,280 --> 00:55:07,839
Speaker 1: standing there silently watching the event. But I've now been

797
00:55:07,840 --> 00:55:11,680
Speaker 1: standing there probably you know. It's five round, five minute round,

798
00:55:11,760 --> 00:55:15,600
Speaker 1: five round fight. I watched the whole thing standing right there.

799
00:55:16,200 --> 00:55:18,919
Speaker 1: So it is standing there silently for a half hour,

800
00:55:19,520 --> 00:55:24,600
Speaker 1: not really thinking, just whatever. Right after the fight ends,

801
00:55:26,200 --> 00:55:29,080
Speaker 1: this woman comes up to me, who was sitting in

802
00:55:29,120 --> 00:55:35,839
Speaker 1: the same section but across from your mom, and says, uh,

803
00:55:36,520 --> 00:55:40,480
Speaker 1: I would like to ask you a question, like of course,

804
00:55:41,800 --> 00:55:45,200
Speaker 1: And she said, why do you talk so bad about

805
00:55:45,280 --> 00:55:50,640
Speaker 1: Jalen Hurts And I said, oh, I don't you know.

806
00:55:50,719 --> 00:55:54,239
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know that that's fair. She

807
00:55:54,360 --> 00:55:57,840
Speaker 1: was like, yes, it is. You always talk bad about it.

808
00:55:59,320 --> 00:56:04,600
Speaker 1: And I was like, well, you know, I I have

809
00:56:04,760 --> 00:56:07,480
Speaker 1: questions about his ability as a drop back pass her.

810
00:56:07,920 --> 00:56:11,280
Speaker 1: It's my opinion, Like, I don't think I've ever been personal,

811
00:56:11,320 --> 00:56:15,000
Speaker 1: I've ever been unfair. You know, you know, you know,

812
00:56:15,520 --> 00:56:21,239
Speaker 1: basically agree to disagree, and she's not having it now.

813
00:56:21,239 --> 00:56:27,640
Speaker 1: She's incredibly polite but very adamant that I have been

814
00:56:28,000 --> 00:56:33,320
Speaker 1: unfair and I don't even know if inaccurate, but unfair

815
00:56:33,440 --> 00:56:38,399
Speaker 1: about my Jalen Hurts commentary. So I'm like, okay, you know, like, hey,

816
00:56:39,080 --> 00:56:42,200
Speaker 1: the we can certainly have this conversation. Because if it

817
00:56:42,239 --> 00:56:44,680
Speaker 1: were again, this is me showing kind of how my

818
00:56:44,719 --> 00:56:48,799
Speaker 1: brain works. If it were a guy, particularly a guy

819
00:56:48,960 --> 00:56:52,480
Speaker 1: my age or younger, I'd have quickly been like, hey, man,

820
00:56:53,480 --> 00:56:56,520
Speaker 1: you know, agree to disagree whatever. But because it was

821
00:56:56,560 --> 00:56:59,480
Speaker 1: a woman, and a woman that I perceived to be

822
00:56:59,680 --> 00:57:03,600
Speaker 1: older than me, I felt like I have an obligation

823
00:57:03,760 --> 00:57:08,359
Speaker 1: here to be uber respectful and to just you know you,

824
00:57:08,440 --> 00:57:10,400
Speaker 1: if you really want to have this conversation, we can

825
00:57:10,440 --> 00:57:13,879
Speaker 1: have this conversation. And so I'm like, let me tell

826
00:57:13,920 --> 00:57:18,640
Speaker 1: you the good things I've said about Jail. She's like, no,

827
00:57:18,760 --> 00:57:20,800
Speaker 1: I'm not worried we're talking about that. I'm like, well, no,

828
00:57:20,880 --> 00:57:24,000
Speaker 1: let me let me paint you the full picture, right,

829
00:57:24,080 --> 00:57:26,720
Speaker 1: let me paint you the full picture. So I listed

830
00:57:26,760 --> 00:57:28,840
Speaker 1: that the first time we ever talked about him was

831
00:57:29,480 --> 00:57:31,560
Speaker 1: when he got benched in college and how well I

832
00:57:31,560 --> 00:57:34,320
Speaker 1: thought he dealt with that about you know, I go

833
00:57:34,400 --> 00:57:38,360
Speaker 1: through a bunch of stuff. I was like, and now

834
00:57:39,480 --> 00:57:45,440
Speaker 1: let me tell you, I think the single most critical

835
00:57:45,520 --> 00:57:50,080
Speaker 1: thing I've ever said about Jailing that is probably what

836
00:57:50,240 --> 00:57:52,960
Speaker 1: you were sent or you've seen or whatever. I was like,

837
00:57:53,080 --> 00:57:56,200
Speaker 1: I called him the weak link of the Eagles offense.

838
00:57:56,840 --> 00:58:00,080
Speaker 1: I was like, and I know that sounds awful. I

839
00:58:00,120 --> 00:58:03,040
Speaker 1: was like, but I believe the Eagles have a top

840
00:58:03,120 --> 00:58:07,040
Speaker 1: two offensive line, a top two receiving corps, a top

841
00:58:07,080 --> 00:58:11,320
Speaker 1: two running back. I so even if I think Jalen

842
00:58:12,120 --> 00:58:15,240
Speaker 1: is a top ten quarterback, that would make him the

843
00:58:15,240 --> 00:58:19,960
Speaker 1: weak link. And she still is like usually like I'm

844
00:58:20,000 --> 00:58:22,840
Speaker 1: a little charming. I feel like I'm, you know, making

845
00:58:22,880 --> 00:58:29,000
Speaker 1: the case whatever, not really having it. And then I

846
00:58:29,040 --> 00:58:32,520
Speaker 1: realized something I should have realized much earlier in the conversation.

847
00:58:34,880 --> 00:58:39,000
Speaker 1: And I said, man, may ask you a question. Said yes,

848
00:58:39,080 --> 00:58:44,400
Speaker 1: I said, are you Jalen hurts mother? And she said yes,

849
00:58:44,480 --> 00:58:45,040
Speaker 1: I am.

850
00:58:46,360 --> 00:58:46,600
Speaker 3: Yep.

851
00:58:47,680 --> 00:58:51,480
Speaker 1: And I was like, oh, man, I was like, and

852
00:58:51,600 --> 00:58:55,400
Speaker 1: I told her and I was like, listen, you're putting

853
00:58:55,480 --> 00:59:01,360
Speaker 1: me in a brutal spot. She was like, I don't know. Again,

854
00:59:01,360 --> 00:59:03,080
Speaker 1: I don't want to misquote her at all. I don't

855
00:59:03,080 --> 00:59:04,360
Speaker 1: know if she said, what do you mean or no,

856
00:59:04,440 --> 00:59:06,800
Speaker 1: I'm not or whatever. I was like, because now that

857
00:59:06,880 --> 00:59:11,480
Speaker 1: I know you're his mother, what I should do is

858
00:59:11,640 --> 00:59:15,720
Speaker 1: just say I'm sorry for everything I've ever said, or

859
00:59:16,400 --> 00:59:19,480
Speaker 1: you know, I'm playing a character. You know, it's my job,

860
00:59:19,640 --> 00:59:24,800
Speaker 1: whatever it is. I was like, but if I have

861
00:59:27,000 --> 00:59:31,480
Speaker 1: any hope of you having any respect for me after this,

862
00:59:32,520 --> 00:59:35,320
Speaker 1: I feel like I have to show you I do

863
00:59:35,440 --> 00:59:38,720
Speaker 1: believe what I say. I try to never be personal

864
00:59:39,400 --> 00:59:41,920
Speaker 1: and that we're you know what I mean, we might

865
00:59:42,000 --> 00:59:45,760
Speaker 1: just have a difference of opinion on certain things, and

866
00:59:45,880 --> 00:59:49,640
Speaker 1: so like, if you want to continue this conversation, I

867
00:59:50,040 --> 00:59:54,600
Speaker 1: will do it, like because but ultimately I'm not trying

868
00:59:54,640 --> 00:59:58,880
Speaker 1: to you know, are like have a weird thing here?

869
00:59:59,160 --> 01:00:02,080
Speaker 1: And she was like, no, I want to talk. And

870
01:00:02,160 --> 01:00:08,680
Speaker 1: so we talked for gosh, I don't know, another ten minutes,

871
01:00:09,040 --> 01:00:12,800
Speaker 1: and at some point a guy came over and I'm

872
01:00:12,840 --> 01:00:18,760
Speaker 1: not I I think it might have been Jalen's uh dad,

873
01:00:18,800 --> 01:00:23,080
Speaker 1: but I'm not certain, uh who was. He didn't say

874
01:00:23,080 --> 01:00:25,560
Speaker 1: anything in the conversation except for the fact that somehow

875
01:00:27,120 --> 01:00:30,600
Speaker 1: Houston came up and he knew who you were. So

876
01:00:30,760 --> 01:00:34,040
Speaker 1: my Jalen's dad was a you know, coach to Channel View. Yeah,

877
01:00:34,040 --> 01:00:39,000
Speaker 1: I mean somehow like my FA that came up, and oh,

878
01:00:39,120 --> 01:00:42,800
Speaker 1: I the I I kind of remember, I not, I

879
01:00:42,840 --> 01:00:45,480
Speaker 1: kind of remember, I do remember, I said. I was like, listen,

880
01:00:45,640 --> 01:00:49,320
Speaker 1: I I was like, my son played high level basketball,

881
01:00:49,640 --> 01:00:52,120
Speaker 1: nothing like what your son is playing. I was like,

882
01:00:52,200 --> 01:00:55,400
Speaker 1: but I was like, my son and Jalen, I think,

883
01:00:55,400 --> 01:00:58,640
Speaker 1: are the exact same age. It's like I and I

884
01:00:58,680 --> 01:01:02,360
Speaker 1: was like, and I watched my son, you know, play

885
01:01:02,560 --> 01:01:05,200
Speaker 1: trying to you know, get a college scholarship, play high

886
01:01:05,240 --> 01:01:08,760
Speaker 1: level basketball, and the guy standing there, he was like,

887
01:01:08,840 --> 01:01:11,600
Speaker 1: he's like, yeah, I remember. He's like you lived in

888
01:01:11,640 --> 01:01:14,120
Speaker 1: sugar Land, your son played at sugar Land or your

889
01:01:14,160 --> 01:01:17,320
Speaker 1: son played in sugar Land, and so that that just

890
01:01:17,400 --> 01:01:19,320
Speaker 1: now that I'm kind of piecing the night together, I'm like,

891
01:01:19,360 --> 01:01:21,439
Speaker 1: maybe that was Jalen's dad or just family because they're

892
01:01:21,480 --> 01:01:25,280
Speaker 1: from Houston and you guys would have been in high school.

893
01:01:25,040 --> 01:01:26,640
Speaker 3: At the same time, same time.

894
01:01:26,760 --> 01:01:29,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, right, and so all that all that would have

895
01:01:29,080 --> 01:01:31,680
Speaker 1: made sense. And so the reason I even brought it

896
01:01:31,760 --> 01:01:34,200
Speaker 1: up was I was like, I know, I know how

897
01:01:34,320 --> 01:01:36,320
Speaker 1: parents watch their kid and then I know how the

898
01:01:36,320 --> 01:01:38,760
Speaker 1: world watchs their kid like, it's probably not gonna be

899
01:01:38,760 --> 01:01:44,160
Speaker 1: the exact same thing, whatever it is, And and then

900
01:01:44,360 --> 01:01:47,400
Speaker 1: you know you don't have to give the entirety of

901
01:01:47,400 --> 01:01:51,920
Speaker 1: the conversation. She obviously just thinks I'm wrong, which is

902
01:01:52,160 --> 01:01:57,640
Speaker 1: what a mother should think. The And she thinks Jalen

903
01:01:57,720 --> 01:02:00,000
Speaker 1: doesn't get enough credit for a lot of the stuff

904
01:02:00,040 --> 01:02:02,080
Speaker 1: that doesn't show up in the box score, which is

905
01:02:02,120 --> 01:02:04,920
Speaker 1: totally fair. But I just I tell this long story

906
01:02:04,960 --> 01:02:08,000
Speaker 1: because it's an unbelievable story, but also because for the

907
01:02:08,120 --> 01:02:12,280
Speaker 1: ending of it, which is she says, what are you

908
01:02:12,480 --> 01:02:18,320
Speaker 1: going to say when he wins? And I was like, well,

909
01:02:18,480 --> 01:02:22,160
Speaker 1: if he and before she goes not if when he wins,

910
01:02:23,040 --> 01:02:26,920
Speaker 1: and I was like, well, you're not gonna like this answer.

911
01:02:27,520 --> 01:02:29,800
Speaker 1: It's like, but I'm just I'm just gonna be honest

912
01:02:29,840 --> 01:02:32,880
Speaker 1: with you. I can't tell you what I'm going to

913
01:02:32,920 --> 01:02:35,720
Speaker 1: say about a game before I see how the game

914
01:02:35,800 --> 01:02:39,439
Speaker 1: is played. I was like, and just knowing that they

915
01:02:39,520 --> 01:02:43,840
Speaker 1: won doesn't tell me enough about how he played for

916
01:02:44,000 --> 01:02:46,440
Speaker 1: me to be able to tell you what I will say.

917
01:02:46,680 --> 01:02:51,800
Speaker 1: It's like, what I will guarantee you is this, if

918
01:02:51,840 --> 01:02:56,320
Speaker 1: they win, I won't criticize him on Monday. It's like,

919
01:02:56,680 --> 01:02:59,600
Speaker 1: I can guarantee you that what's never happened is team

920
01:02:59,720 --> 01:03:03,280
Speaker 1: wins the super Bowl as an underdog against one of

921
01:03:03,320 --> 01:03:06,160
Speaker 1: the greatest teams ever. And I'm like, man, their quarterback

922
01:03:06,240 --> 01:03:08,360
Speaker 1: wasn't good. It's like, I can promise you I won't

923
01:03:08,360 --> 01:03:12,280
Speaker 1: criticize him. I was like, I can't promise you. I'm

924
01:03:12,280 --> 01:03:14,400
Speaker 1: gonna give him the level of praise you want, you

925
01:03:14,400 --> 01:03:19,320
Speaker 1: would want me to before I see the game. And again,

926
01:03:19,440 --> 01:03:22,600
Speaker 1: I don't think she loved the answer, but I just

927
01:03:22,720 --> 01:03:26,120
Speaker 1: I was like, listen, like, you know, agree, this is

928
01:03:26,240 --> 01:03:30,120
Speaker 1: what it is. And she was incredibly gracious and a

929
01:03:30,320 --> 01:03:35,320
Speaker 1: very sweet woman. And then I shook the other guy's hand.

930
01:03:35,720 --> 01:03:39,760
Speaker 1: Then another guy came over, guy your age, maybe a

931
01:03:39,760 --> 01:03:42,720
Speaker 1: little younger, and he came over and I put out

932
01:03:42,720 --> 01:03:46,240
Speaker 1: to shake his hand and I said, hey, what's your name?

933
01:03:47,080 --> 01:03:49,800
Speaker 1: And he was not of the mood of the other participants,

934
01:03:49,840 --> 01:03:52,080
Speaker 1: who's like, doesn't matter what my name is. I was like, okay,

935
01:03:52,200 --> 01:03:54,680
Speaker 1: got it, no problem. I was like, I'm Nick, nice

936
01:03:54,720 --> 01:03:57,320
Speaker 1: to meet you. Like, I don't know there's Jalen's cousin.

937
01:03:57,360 --> 01:04:00,200
Speaker 1: I don't know who it was, but yeah, I got

938
01:04:00,760 --> 01:04:04,120
Speaker 1: serious cousin vibes, and I'm like, Okay, you know what

939
01:04:04,120 --> 01:04:06,000
Speaker 1: I mean. This has gone about as well as it

940
01:04:06,000 --> 01:04:13,600
Speaker 1: could have gone all things considered. Yeah, And so that

941
01:04:13,720 --> 01:04:18,960
Speaker 1: was that. So I tell all that story to now

942
01:04:19,120 --> 01:04:23,400
Speaker 1: answer the question what am I gonna say? And what

943
01:04:23,440 --> 01:04:28,760
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say is after that performance, it is I

944
01:04:29,000 --> 01:04:36,760
Speaker 1: have had a top five quarterbacks list of Mahomes, Alan Burrow,

945
01:04:36,880 --> 01:04:43,200
Speaker 1: Lamar Stafford pretty consistently over the last three years. There's

946
01:04:43,240 --> 01:04:47,160
Speaker 1: been movement two through five, but that's basically been my list,

947
01:04:49,360 --> 01:04:52,600
Speaker 1: and that has been on the back of Matt staff

948
01:04:52,720 --> 01:04:57,600
Speaker 1: Matt Stafford's inclusion. There has been because man, guy kicked

949
01:04:57,600 --> 01:05:00,000
Speaker 1: ass in Super Bowl, won a Super Bowl? Howm gonn

950
01:05:00,160 --> 01:05:02,960
Speaker 1: Super Bowl champion quarterbacks still playing well are there? Like

951
01:05:03,560 --> 01:05:08,640
Speaker 1: it's him, Mahomes and then Russell, who's different player, Rogers,

952
01:05:08,720 --> 01:05:12,360
Speaker 1: different player, Brady's gone, Like, winning a Super Bowl really

953
01:05:12,400 --> 01:05:17,880
Speaker 1: matters a lot. Winning a Super Bowl in part because

954
01:05:17,880 --> 01:05:22,440
Speaker 1: you played great and playing great in multiple Super Bowls

955
01:05:22,480 --> 01:05:26,920
Speaker 1: has to matter a lot. So what I'll say is

956
01:05:27,000 --> 01:05:29,520
Speaker 1: Jalen Hurts now deserves to be just considered one of

957
01:05:29,560 --> 01:05:36,120
Speaker 1: the five best quarterbacks it even if you have questions

958
01:05:36,160 --> 01:05:41,000
Speaker 1: about his down to down, drop back passing ability, as

959
01:05:41,160 --> 01:05:46,560
Speaker 1: I still do. He's a big game player. He's an

960
01:05:46,600 --> 01:05:51,560
Speaker 1: incredibly tough player. He's a leader that deals with a

961
01:05:51,720 --> 01:05:57,680
Speaker 1: very tough personality in aj an eccentric head coach. He

962
01:05:57,720 --> 01:06:01,600
Speaker 1: never causes any problems or distractions for team. He agrees

963
01:06:01,640 --> 01:06:06,200
Speaker 1: to continually run the toush push and that's a brutal

964
01:06:06,280 --> 01:06:10,160
Speaker 1: play that really is so valuable to them. And he

965
01:06:10,360 --> 01:06:13,840
Speaker 1: just thoroughly outplayed Patrick Mahomes in the Super Bowl and

966
01:06:13,880 --> 01:06:19,720
Speaker 1: beat him. And he also the guy who I had there,

967
01:06:19,720 --> 01:06:23,160
Speaker 1: Matt Stafford. He beat him in a game that Stafford

968
01:06:23,160 --> 01:06:25,520
Speaker 1: played well, but Stafford made the big mistake in Jalen

969
01:06:25,560 --> 01:06:31,320
Speaker 1: didn't with the fumble. So fair's fair, Like it's not

970
01:06:31,680 --> 01:06:36,000
Speaker 1: right to just say Justin Herbert at this point is

971
01:06:36,040 --> 01:06:40,919
Speaker 1: better than Jalen Hurts. It's not like the the arm

972
01:06:41,000 --> 01:06:44,200
Speaker 1: talent is one thing, like that's not everything has to

973
01:06:44,200 --> 01:06:49,840
Speaker 1: do with playing quarterback in this league. And he played

974
01:06:49,840 --> 01:06:52,440
Speaker 1: great in the conference championship game. He played great in

975
01:06:52,480 --> 01:06:55,800
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl for the second time. He had one

976
01:06:55,880 --> 01:06:59,640
Speaker 1: turnover the whole playoff run. He stepped up in the

977
01:06:59,680 --> 01:07:04,080
Speaker 1: biggest moments. He's earned that flatly. He's just earned that,

978
01:07:06,280 --> 01:07:11,760
Speaker 1: so there's the answer. This episode of What's Right is

979

998
01:08:27,120 --> 01:08:32,000
Speaker 1: We're gonna have to save the halftime show thoughts for

999
01:08:32,120 --> 01:08:36,800
Speaker 1: a time when I've watched it because I was nervously

1000
01:08:36,880 --> 01:08:40,040
Speaker 1: circling the block. Have not watched it, and I'll be honest,

1001
01:08:40,360 --> 01:08:43,040
Speaker 1: I may never see it. I don't know if I'll

1002
01:08:43,080 --> 01:08:45,400
Speaker 1: be able to like again. And I like Kendrick, but

1003
01:08:45,439 --> 01:08:49,720
Speaker 1: I don't know, yeah, exactly. We're gonna also have to

1004
01:08:49,760 --> 01:08:53,240
Speaker 1: save the story I tweeted about about your mom on

1005
01:08:53,280 --> 01:08:56,920
Speaker 1: the plane for later, because we've gone an hour twenty

1006
01:08:57,320 --> 01:08:59,920
Speaker 1: almost and I do want to talk about Lucas de

1007
01:09:00,439 --> 01:09:02,320
Speaker 1: last night, so go ahead and set it up.

1008
01:09:03,080 --> 01:09:05,200
Speaker 2: So he played for about twenty three minutes last night,

1009
01:09:05,720 --> 01:09:08,800
Speaker 2: fifteen to five and four. He's won for seven from

1010
01:09:09,200 --> 01:09:11,599
Speaker 2: from three. But the chemistry out there is looking good.

1011
01:09:11,640 --> 01:09:16,160
Speaker 2: Looks like they play together. Well yep, yeah, So obviously

1012
01:09:16,320 --> 01:09:18,320
Speaker 2: La made the seventy seven shirts to give away to

1013
01:09:18,320 --> 01:09:19,240
Speaker 2: the fans of the arena.

1014
01:09:19,479 --> 01:09:21,040
Speaker 3: Everybody's very exceptive.

1015
01:09:22,160 --> 01:09:27,800
Speaker 1: And Lebron text Luca during the day and said, we're

1016
01:09:27,800 --> 01:09:31,759
Speaker 1: going to introduce you last today. Now, Luca made it clear,

1017
01:09:31,960 --> 01:09:36,439
Speaker 1: because like that's a big thing. Now, Luca made it, Yeah,

1018
01:09:36,479 --> 01:09:39,519
Speaker 1: the final introduction, that's the you know, the star of

1019
01:09:39,560 --> 01:09:43,840
Speaker 1: the team or whatever. Luca then made it clear after

1020
01:09:43,880 --> 01:09:46,280
Speaker 1: the game that that was a one time thing and

1021
01:09:46,320 --> 01:09:51,240
Speaker 1: it's going to go back to Lebron being introduced last

1022
01:09:51,320 --> 01:09:54,080
Speaker 1: and so. And Luca is obviously the best player on

1023
01:09:54,120 --> 01:09:58,040
Speaker 1: the team, but Lebron's Lebron, so he's gonna be he's

1024
01:09:58,240 --> 01:10:07,200
Speaker 1: introduced last. That's fine, man. I know intellectually that the Lakers'

1025
01:10:09,240 --> 01:10:13,080
Speaker 1: lack of rim protection because the Mark Williams trade got vetoed,

1026
01:10:14,560 --> 01:10:21,160
Speaker 1: should recap them. I know that from just a history

1027
01:10:21,160 --> 01:10:31,840
Speaker 1: of watching basketball. But I also know this, we have

1028
01:10:32,200 --> 01:10:43,440
Speaker 1: never in NBA history had two players with the combined

1029
01:10:43,680 --> 01:10:52,160
Speaker 1: IQ and combined passing ability of Luca and Lebron James

1030
01:10:52,200 --> 01:10:57,680
Speaker 1: on the same team. And you saw just glimpses of

1031
01:10:57,720 --> 01:11:02,000
Speaker 1: it last night. But what that will mean for the

1032
01:11:02,080 --> 01:11:09,479
Speaker 1: Lakers offense, I think people are actually underestimating. I think

1033
01:11:09,520 --> 01:11:12,800
Speaker 1: this can be a top three offense in basketball, and

1034
01:11:12,880 --> 01:11:18,080
Speaker 1: a top three offense you're a contender. If you have

1035
01:11:18,120 --> 01:11:21,599
Speaker 1: a top three offense, you still probably have to find

1036
01:11:21,600 --> 01:11:24,400
Speaker 1: a way to have a top fifteen defense, but you

1037
01:11:24,439 --> 01:11:28,320
Speaker 1: don't need a top three defense to be a contender

1038
01:11:28,360 --> 01:11:31,639
Speaker 1: if you have that offense. And what you also saw

1039
01:11:31,760 --> 01:11:36,559
Speaker 1: last night, Demons, what you have seen since the trade

1040
01:11:36,640 --> 01:11:43,679
Speaker 1: was made is a truly invigorated Lebron James, who last

1041
01:11:43,760 --> 01:11:50,120
Speaker 1: night on both ends of the court offense and defense,

1042
01:11:50,960 --> 01:11:56,120
Speaker 1: was dialed in in a way that he's not going

1043
01:11:56,160 --> 01:11:59,200
Speaker 1: to be able to be dialed in every single night,

1044
01:11:59,640 --> 01:12:03,000
Speaker 1: but because of Luca, he's not going to need to

1045
01:12:03,040 --> 01:12:05,240
Speaker 1: be so from defense.

1046
01:12:05,360 --> 01:12:07,200
Speaker 3: More effort on defense from Luca.

1047
01:12:07,040 --> 01:12:12,240
Speaker 1: To sure, But honestly, I don't care as much about that.

1048
01:12:13,120 --> 01:12:19,840
Speaker 1: I don't like I want Ideally Luca takes such an

1049
01:12:20,040 --> 01:12:24,479
Speaker 1: offensive burden off Lebron that he can then because even

1050
01:12:24,479 --> 01:12:30,680
Speaker 1: at age forty, Lebron is if if that's where he's

1051
01:12:30,720 --> 01:12:35,360
Speaker 1: expending his energy, is a better defender than Luca. And

1052
01:12:36,000 --> 01:12:41,519
Speaker 1: since we have got wind of this trade, what we

1053
01:12:41,600 --> 01:12:46,640
Speaker 1: have gotten from Lebron in four games and four victories

1054
01:12:47,479 --> 01:12:56,880
Speaker 1: is thirty one, eleven and nine on fifty seven fifty splits. Again,

1055
01:12:57,400 --> 01:13:00,960
Speaker 1: is he going to keep that up? No? But his

1056
01:13:01,200 --> 01:13:05,519
Speaker 1: season as is right now is one of the most

1057
01:13:05,600 --> 01:13:08,600
Speaker 1: remarkable things I've seen in the last decade in the

1058
01:13:08,720 --> 01:13:16,360
Speaker 1: NBA Lebron at age forty in year twenty two on

1059
01:13:16,400 --> 01:13:21,640
Speaker 1: a team that's winning without a co star for the

1060
01:13:21,720 --> 01:13:24,360
Speaker 1: last couple of weeks because Ad was out and Luca

1061
01:13:24,520 --> 01:13:29,240
Speaker 1: just got there. That is right now essentially tied for

1062
01:13:29,479 --> 01:13:34,679
Speaker 1: third in the West, him giving you twenty four, eight

1063
01:13:34,920 --> 01:13:41,120
Speaker 1: and nine on fifty two thirty nine splits. And now

1064
01:13:41,240 --> 01:13:50,040
Speaker 1: you add Luca, who is going to rip the league's

1065
01:13:50,439 --> 01:13:59,360
Speaker 1: eyes out with anger. That's a tough team, man, and

1066
01:13:59,400 --> 01:14:02,720
Speaker 1: you I thought it was really important last night that

1067
01:14:02,960 --> 01:14:08,759
Speaker 1: Dirk showed up. Dirk showing up for that game means

1068
01:14:09,520 --> 01:14:17,519
Speaker 1: even the greatest mav in franchise history doesn't buy this

1069
01:14:17,680 --> 01:14:22,280
Speaker 1: idea that behind the scenes Luca was some train wreck

1070
01:14:23,400 --> 01:14:30,599
Speaker 1: and that he's got his back. Lebron saying to Luca,

1071
01:14:32,479 --> 01:14:37,200
Speaker 1: f fitting in, fit out, Luca, do your thing, has

1072
01:14:37,320 --> 01:14:44,360
Speaker 1: to be the coolest thing imaginable. He might be like

1073
01:14:44,439 --> 01:14:46,880
Speaker 1: guys Nick, he's a five time first small NBA guy.

1074
01:14:46,920 --> 01:14:49,240
Speaker 1: He's been discussed from the best player in the league.

1075
01:14:49,720 --> 01:14:52,760
Speaker 1: All that in Luca, all that's true, doesn't change the

1076
01:14:52,800 --> 01:14:57,120
Speaker 1: fact Lebron was his basketball idol, the guy he he

1077
01:14:57,400 --> 01:15:01,280
Speaker 1: mirrored his game off of and Lebron is saying to Luca,

1078
01:15:01,760 --> 01:15:05,800
Speaker 1: hey man, you got the car keys bro And again

1079
01:15:05,960 --> 01:15:08,080
Speaker 1: last night he didn't play out that way because he

1080
01:15:08,160 --> 01:15:10,800
Speaker 1: was on a minute's restriction. It was a blowout. He

1081
01:15:10,800 --> 01:15:14,479
Speaker 1: didn't play in the fourth quarter. Luca is going to

1082
01:15:14,520 --> 01:15:21,200
Speaker 1: be so sensational and so motivated, and it is going

1083
01:15:21,280 --> 01:15:27,200
Speaker 1: to take such a burden off of Lebron that you

1084
01:15:27,280 --> 01:15:31,880
Speaker 1: all of a sudden look at the Western Conference standings

1085
01:15:33,160 --> 01:15:39,440
Speaker 1: and you say, well, if you could just somehow freeze

1086
01:15:39,560 --> 01:15:44,320
Speaker 1: them right now, I think the Lakers would take it.

1087
01:15:46,000 --> 01:15:51,759
Speaker 1: Denver the three, Lakers the four, so that you would

1088
01:15:52,120 --> 01:15:54,639
Speaker 1: be on the opposite side of the bracket is Denver

1089
01:15:55,960 --> 01:15:59,439
Speaker 1: and you get Houston in round one. Sign me up.

1090
01:16:00,920 --> 01:16:03,240
Speaker 1: And I know that would then mean I guess the

1091
01:16:03,479 --> 01:16:08,920
Speaker 1: absolute best thing imaginable would be Lakers catching Denver and

1092
01:16:09,000 --> 01:16:13,280
Speaker 1: being the three and being on the opposite side of

1093
01:16:13,320 --> 01:16:16,760
Speaker 1: the bracket of Okac and Denver. That should be the

1094
01:16:16,840 --> 01:16:22,880
Speaker 1: goal now that I'm actually talking this through. The perfect

1095
01:16:23,240 --> 01:16:27,639
Speaker 1: runout for the Lakers in theory would be because oka

1096
01:16:27,760 --> 01:16:32,040
Speaker 1: See is the one and it's locked that somehow they

1097
01:16:32,160 --> 01:16:37,679
Speaker 1: catch Denver and Denver falls to the four and Denver

1098
01:16:37,720 --> 01:16:42,600
Speaker 1: and oka See play each other. Now, Lucas had a

1099
01:16:42,600 --> 01:16:45,360
Speaker 1: great history against ok See with his okay See team

1100
01:16:45,439 --> 01:16:50,000
Speaker 1: is great. But you cannot dismiss the Lakers' chances of

1101
01:16:50,000 --> 01:16:54,160
Speaker 1: coming out of the Western Conference because right now what

1102
01:16:54,400 --> 01:16:59,840
Speaker 1: they have is a top three player in Luca. And

1103
01:17:00,040 --> 01:17:05,280
Speaker 1: where is Lebron right now? The way he's playing, Remove

1104
01:17:05,400 --> 01:17:09,639
Speaker 1: from your head that he is in year twenty two

1105
01:17:09,640 --> 01:17:13,559
Speaker 1: and age forty, with how he is playing. Who are

1106
01:17:13,600 --> 01:17:20,919
Speaker 1: the guys in the league that are definitively better than him? Joker, Yannis,

1107
01:17:21,960 --> 01:17:33,280
Speaker 1: Luca Shay Indeed, come on, no, I mean Embeid doesn't play.

1108
01:17:35,920 --> 01:17:39,040
Speaker 1: I was I'm gonna give it. I'm gonna say, I'm

1109
01:17:39,040 --> 01:17:41,920
Speaker 1: just gonna include this in the definitively better than him.

1110
01:17:42,000 --> 01:17:46,720
Speaker 2: Tatum, Oh yeah, I was gonna say, Tatum.

1111
01:17:45,479 --> 01:17:49,960
Speaker 1: I'm the Is there anyone on the Grizzlies?

1112
01:17:50,160 --> 01:17:50,400
Speaker 3: No?

1113
01:17:51,320 --> 01:17:52,960
Speaker 1: Is there anyone on the Rockets?

1114
01:17:53,680 --> 01:17:53,840
Speaker 3: No?

1115
01:17:57,200 --> 01:18:04,200
Speaker 1: I don't. Anthony Edwards. Sure give it to him, Anthony Edwards. Yes,

1116
01:18:04,560 --> 01:18:07,600
Speaker 1: all right, So now we're at six. I just the

1117
01:18:08,320 --> 01:18:09,920
Speaker 1: way my brain works, I just need to like go

1118
01:18:10,040 --> 01:18:16,520
Speaker 1: team by team. But Wimby because he's the best defensive

1119
01:18:16,520 --> 01:18:20,639
Speaker 1: player in the sport. Okay, Wimby. Yes, we're at seven.

1120
01:18:23,320 --> 01:18:28,840
Speaker 1: I think I think that's the list. I don't think

1121
01:18:28,880 --> 01:18:33,200
Speaker 1: Donovan right now is better than Lebron. I don't think

1122
01:18:33,280 --> 01:18:38,680
Speaker 1: Jalen Brunson right now is better than Lebron. And the

1123
01:18:38,840 --> 01:18:44,479
Speaker 1: other old guys Durant and Steph are not better than

1124
01:18:44,520 --> 01:18:48,760
Speaker 1: Lebron right now. So if you're the Lakers and you

1125
01:18:48,800 --> 01:18:54,400
Speaker 1: have a top three guy and a conservatively top ten guy,

1126
01:18:54,840 --> 01:18:57,280
Speaker 1: maybe the eighth best guy in the league this year,

1127
01:19:00,040 --> 01:19:02,759
Speaker 1: Anthony Davis would have had a claim too, but he's hurt. Again,

1128
01:19:04,600 --> 01:19:10,080
Speaker 1: that's a dangerous team man. And Lebron's ability to now

1129
01:19:10,200 --> 01:19:18,040
Speaker 1: pace himself to take games off, which again, he's played

1130
01:19:18,160 --> 01:19:21,120
Speaker 1: forty seven games this year, So what does that mean.

1131
01:19:21,160 --> 01:19:26,080
Speaker 1: He's missed four what the Lakers. He's played forty seven.

1132
01:19:26,720 --> 01:19:29,080
Speaker 1: The Lakers have played fifty one. He he's missed four.

1133
01:19:29,960 --> 01:19:32,759
Speaker 1: And it also means, by the way, le Bron's gonna

1134
01:19:32,760 --> 01:19:36,840
Speaker 1: catch another All NBA team because if it even was borderline,

1135
01:19:37,200 --> 01:19:40,000
Speaker 1: all these other guys are gonna be ineligible. Ad Now

1136
01:19:40,080 --> 01:19:42,120
Speaker 1: is gonna be ineligible because he's not gonna play sixty

1137
01:19:42,160 --> 01:19:45,639
Speaker 1: five games. Lucas ineligible. He is not playing sixty five games.

1138
01:19:45,880 --> 01:19:50,360
Speaker 1: They're like Kawhi's I think he's gonna BEA's not playing

1139
01:19:50,360 --> 01:19:52,360
Speaker 1: well enough anyway, He's playing fine, but he's gonna be

1140
01:19:52,400 --> 01:19:58,880
Speaker 1: ineligible like uh, obvious, obviously Imbiid's not gonna be eligible

1141
01:19:58,960 --> 01:20:08,200
Speaker 1: like those guys aren't playing. And so I I never

1142
01:20:08,400 --> 01:20:14,360
Speaker 1: thought this Lakers team was going to be fascinating from

1143
01:20:14,360 --> 01:20:21,240
Speaker 1: a championship standpoint, But now they have Luka Ancic. And

1144
01:20:21,280 --> 01:20:27,439
Speaker 1: if Luca can take Kyrie and role players to the finals,

1145
01:20:28,680 --> 01:20:31,880
Speaker 1: what about when it's Lebron and role players? Now again,

1146
01:20:32,439 --> 01:20:36,400
Speaker 1: those MAVs role players, they had multiple centers. There's a

1147
01:20:36,439 --> 01:20:38,840
Speaker 1: reason the Lakers trade for Mark Williams. I get all that,

1148
01:20:40,240 --> 01:20:46,040
Speaker 1: but look out, and there are some games I'm circling personally.

1149
01:20:48,240 --> 01:20:51,200
Speaker 3: Does a Lakers chip makeup for what just happened on Sunday?

1150
01:20:51,400 --> 01:20:51,960
Speaker 3: A little bit?

1151
01:20:52,040 --> 01:20:55,280
Speaker 1: Maybe fifty Nothing could make up for what happened on Sunday,

1152
01:20:55,320 --> 01:21:00,360
Speaker 1: but it is it would salve the wound a bit. Okay,

1153
01:21:01,680 --> 01:21:07,320
Speaker 1: Lakers next three demands A yeah, Utah, Charlotte Portland. Now

1154
01:21:07,360 --> 01:21:10,720
Speaker 1: Portland's playing better, but you're gonna be able to get on,

1155
01:21:11,439 --> 01:21:14,320
Speaker 1: you know, And they've they've already won six in a row.

1156
01:21:15,080 --> 01:21:22,040
Speaker 1: They should get to that national TV game against Denver

1157
01:21:22,840 --> 01:21:28,679
Speaker 1: on a nine game winning streak, and then at Denver

1158
01:21:28,880 --> 01:21:34,400
Speaker 1: on ABC a week from Saturday, and home for Dallas

1159
01:21:35,920 --> 01:21:42,760
Speaker 1: on TNT two weeks from today. Oh man, A tough

1160
01:21:42,760 --> 01:21:47,960
Speaker 1: stretch Denver, Dallas, Minnesota, Clippers, Clippers, New Orleans, not tough

1161
01:21:48,360 --> 01:21:52,320
Speaker 1: New York, Boston, you know. So like they've got some

1162
01:21:52,400 --> 01:21:55,519
Speaker 1: tough stretches. And at the end of the year when

1163
01:21:55,520 --> 01:21:59,200
Speaker 1: they're gonna be fighting for seating because of the wildfires,

1164
01:21:59,240 --> 01:22:04,920
Speaker 1: they moved some games. They have a five game in

1165
01:22:05,240 --> 01:22:11,800
Speaker 1: seven night stretch that he's home for the Warriors, home

1166
01:22:11,840 --> 01:22:16,720
Speaker 1: for New Orleans on a back to back, then at OKAC,

1167
01:22:17,680 --> 01:22:22,360
Speaker 1: then at Okay se again, and then Luca's return to

1168
01:22:22,479 --> 01:22:26,120
Speaker 1: Dallas on a back to back. So that that five

1169
01:22:26,200 --> 01:22:32,800
Speaker 1: game stretch you're working, Yeah, absolutely is brutal. But that's

1170
01:22:32,880 --> 01:22:36,400
Speaker 1: you know, that's right before the postseason, all right, ninety minute.

1171
01:22:36,160 --> 01:22:39,080
Speaker 3: Show ze for the.

1172
01:22:39,800 --> 01:22:42,120
Speaker 1: Uh yeah, everybody seemed to know that was going to happen.

1173
01:22:42,360 --> 01:22:44,200
Speaker 1: Thank you for the breaking news on it, but I

1174
01:22:44,760 --> 01:22:47,000
Speaker 1: I didn't mean to dismiss it. My point is the

1175
01:22:47,080 --> 01:22:50,479
Speaker 1: Saints being one of the first teams to fire their

1176
01:22:50,520 --> 01:22:55,280
Speaker 1: coach and then not not hiring a coach didn't make sense,

1177
01:22:55,720 --> 01:22:57,800
Speaker 1: so they were just waiting on that, all right. Thank

1178
01:22:57,840 --> 01:23:00,680
Speaker 1: you to DraftKings, thank you to the Volume, thank you

1179
01:23:00,680 --> 01:23:02,880
