WEBVTT - Luka's Lakers debut, Chiefs Super Bowl loss to Eagles

0:00:00.440 --> 0:00:03.560
<v Speaker 1>Welcome in What's Right with Nick Great episode three oh one,

0:00:03.960 --> 0:00:09.000
<v Speaker 1>and this will be a different type episode. This podcast

0:00:09.080 --> 0:00:13.080
<v Speaker 1>really hasn't existed since I've had to do a show

0:00:13.240 --> 0:00:19.360
<v Speaker 1>like this. I don't think I've done a well. Damn,

0:00:20.000 --> 0:00:24.480
<v Speaker 1>that just happened after a big Chiefs game since the

0:00:24.480 --> 0:00:29.840
<v Speaker 1>pods existed, maybe in its early early infancy, but that

0:00:30.040 --> 0:00:36.320
<v Speaker 1>just happened. Chiefs get absolutely rocked in the game to

0:00:36.640 --> 0:00:40.600
<v Speaker 1>become the greatest team ever. So we will get into

0:00:40.600 --> 0:00:44.680
<v Speaker 1>all of that. Also, at the end of today's episode,

0:00:45.080 --> 0:00:49.199
<v Speaker 1>we will get a reaction to Luka do Ancich's debut

0:00:49.240 --> 0:00:52.760
<v Speaker 1>with the Lakers. Those really should be their own separate

0:00:53.159 --> 0:00:56.520
<v Speaker 1>podcasts or events. However, we're gonna do it all today.

0:00:56.720 --> 0:01:00.120
<v Speaker 1>Want happen over the weekend, wanna happened last night? And

0:01:00.600 --> 0:01:04.600
<v Speaker 1>here is I thought the right thing to do, we've

0:01:04.640 --> 0:01:07.040
<v Speaker 1>been building up to it all year, was to have

0:01:07.120 --> 0:01:11.959
<v Speaker 1>my first reaction to the Chiefs loss be on first

0:01:11.959 --> 0:01:16.479
<v Speaker 1>things first. When I made that choice, I didn't necessarily

0:01:16.560 --> 0:01:19.080
<v Speaker 1>know Demanse. Demanse's here, by the way, if you're new

0:01:19.120 --> 0:01:21.360
<v Speaker 1>to the pod, Demanse's my son. He lives in LA's

0:01:21.440 --> 0:01:25.480
<v Speaker 1>my coast. I didn't necessarily know when I made that

0:01:25.560 --> 0:01:30.399
<v Speaker 1>decision that my first reaction to the game would be

0:01:30.480 --> 0:01:35.160
<v Speaker 1>given covered in confetti while a marching band circled me

0:01:35.240 --> 0:01:39.240
<v Speaker 1>and played around me. But I've had time to process,

0:01:39.560 --> 0:01:42.800
<v Speaker 1>to think, to figure out what didn't didn't happen in

0:01:42.840 --> 0:01:47.600
<v Speaker 1>that football game, And maybe the most interesting parts of

0:01:47.640 --> 0:01:53.320
<v Speaker 1>that are what it means for Patrick mahomes pursuit of

0:01:53.560 --> 0:01:56.440
<v Speaker 1>being the greatest football player of all time. How big

0:01:56.440 --> 0:01:59.640
<v Speaker 1>of a stumble this was. Whether, as some have said,

0:02:00.120 --> 0:02:04.640
<v Speaker 1>that makes this that conversation moot it ends it. I

0:02:04.640 --> 0:02:07.080
<v Speaker 1>don't think that is the case, but I will say

0:02:07.440 --> 0:02:10.239
<v Speaker 1>what didn't didn't happen. Also, one other quick note before

0:02:10.280 --> 0:02:13.840
<v Speaker 1>we get to it, announce over the weekend. You know

0:02:13.919 --> 0:02:18.960

<v Speaker 1>Listen to the Right Time with Bamani Jones, one of

0:03:32.520 --> 0:03:38.600
<v Speaker 1>my favorite podcasts ever. All right, pal, enough preamble, Let's

0:03:38.600 --> 0:03:39.360
<v Speaker 1>get to the game.

0:03:40.640 --> 0:03:46.040
<v Speaker 2>All right, Yeah, Pops, that was that was really, really,

0:03:46.160 --> 0:03:49.560
<v Speaker 2>really bad. I felt super bad for you the entire time.

0:03:49.760 --> 0:03:53.720
<v Speaker 2>I I had fried chicken wings Yester Sunday during the

0:03:53.760 --> 0:03:57.000
<v Speaker 2>game for the first time since college, and I feel

0:03:57.000 --> 0:03:59.560
<v Speaker 2>like I did it very well. Sat down to eat

0:03:59.760 --> 0:04:02.680
<v Speaker 2>have halftime, you know, thought it was gonna get better,

0:04:02.800 --> 0:04:05.120
<v Speaker 2>and I just couldn't eat bad for you, And I

0:04:05.120 --> 0:04:05.920
<v Speaker 2>went to go check.

0:04:05.800 --> 0:04:08.160
<v Speaker 3>Your tweets and I was like, you know, he never

0:04:08.200 --> 0:04:09.840
<v Speaker 3>really tweets during these situations.

0:04:09.880 --> 0:04:12.000
<v Speaker 2>And what really, I think what really made it worse

0:04:12.600 --> 0:04:14.280
<v Speaker 2>was that I went to go see your tweets and

0:04:14.320 --> 0:04:16.440
<v Speaker 2>you had been feeling good. You're like, they're down ten.

0:04:16.880 --> 0:04:19.040
<v Speaker 2>This is the part of the dynasty. They can finally

0:04:19.040 --> 0:04:21.880
<v Speaker 2>start playing football, and it just kept getting worse.

0:04:22.560 --> 0:04:27.239
<v Speaker 1>So that's a great place to start. So being down

0:04:27.279 --> 0:04:31.240
<v Speaker 1>ten in the Super Bowl for everyone else in league

0:04:31.320 --> 0:04:35.120
<v Speaker 1>history except for two guys, is a death sentence. There

0:04:35.160 --> 0:04:41.520
<v Speaker 1>have been six double digit comebacks in Super Bowl history,

0:04:42.440 --> 0:04:48.279
<v Speaker 1>and three have been by Patrick, two have been by

0:04:48.320 --> 0:04:52.200
<v Speaker 1>Tom and one other guy. So Tom obviously had the

0:04:52.200 --> 0:04:56.120
<v Speaker 1>twenty five point comeback and a ten point comeback against

0:04:56.240 --> 0:05:03.239
<v Speaker 1>the Seahawks. Patrick was down exactly ten points in both

0:05:03.279 --> 0:05:06.120
<v Speaker 1>Super Bowls against the Niners and the previous Super Bowl

0:05:06.160 --> 0:05:10.040
<v Speaker 1>against Philly, and maybe one of the producers can pull up.

0:05:10.080 --> 0:05:13.479
<v Speaker 1>I forget who the other ten point comeback was. I

0:05:13.480 --> 0:05:16.839
<v Speaker 1>think it was in the eighties doesn't really matter, that's it.

0:05:17.560 --> 0:05:20.799
<v Speaker 1>So prior to Tom Brady there had been one double

0:05:20.839 --> 0:05:24.839
<v Speaker 1>digit comeback in NFL history. After in Super Bowl history,

0:05:25.160 --> 0:05:28.160
<v Speaker 1>after Tom, there had only been three. There have now

0:05:28.200 --> 0:05:32.799
<v Speaker 1>been six, and so being down ten, I was like, okay,

0:05:33.320 --> 0:05:37.719
<v Speaker 1>you can deal with that. Then the pick six happens.

0:05:38.760 --> 0:05:43.080
<v Speaker 1>And it's not just that the pick six happens and

0:05:43.120 --> 0:05:47.760
<v Speaker 1>you're all of a sudden down seventeen. Oh my mistake.

0:05:47.800 --> 0:05:50.839
<v Speaker 1>By the way, here it is the other double digit comebacks.

0:05:51.960 --> 0:05:54.840
<v Speaker 1>New Orleans over Indy was a double digit comeback, and

0:05:54.880 --> 0:05:58.240
<v Speaker 1>the one I couldn't remember. Washington fell down ten nothing

0:05:58.279 --> 0:06:01.520
<v Speaker 1>to Denver in eighty seven and then scored forty two

0:06:01.640 --> 0:06:05.840
<v Speaker 1>consecutive points. So I guess there have been seven, not six.

0:06:05.920 --> 0:06:10.719
<v Speaker 1>All right, thanks guys. The the reason the pick six

0:06:10.839 --> 0:06:16.280
<v Speaker 1>was so concerning was it was an unforced error, and

0:06:16.320 --> 0:06:20.680
<v Speaker 1>it was when Patrick knew, all right, not a big

0:06:20.720 --> 0:06:26.800
<v Speaker 1>margin for error anymore. And then after that, when there

0:06:26.960 --> 0:06:30.440
<v Speaker 1>was zero margin for error, the Chiefs went three and out,

0:06:31.440 --> 0:06:40.640
<v Speaker 1>and in that moment, if I'm being totally honest, I said, oh,

0:06:40.680 --> 0:06:45.000
<v Speaker 1>they're gonna lose. It's like they're just they they have

0:06:45.160 --> 0:06:49.039
<v Speaker 1>not they have done one thing, and they continued to

0:06:49.080 --> 0:06:53.120
<v Speaker 1>do it all game really well, which is bottle up Saquon.

0:06:54.120 --> 0:07:00.920
<v Speaker 1>But the offense cannot figure out how to lock these guys.

0:07:02.040 --> 0:07:10.760
<v Speaker 1>And this is an cliche, old obvious point about beating

0:07:10.800 --> 0:07:15.160
<v Speaker 1>a great quarterback, but it's been true forever. The single

0:07:15.240 --> 0:07:19.240
<v Speaker 1>best way to beat a great quarterback is if you

0:07:19.360 --> 0:07:23.640
<v Speaker 1>can get home with four, if you can get pressure

0:07:23.760 --> 0:07:28.600
<v Speaker 1>without sending pressure, without sending a blitz. That's how the

0:07:28.680 --> 0:07:31.920
<v Speaker 1>Giants beat the Patriots twice in the Super Bowl. That's

0:07:31.960 --> 0:07:37.120
<v Speaker 1>how you neutralize Peyton. And that's twice. Now how Maholmes

0:07:37.480 --> 0:07:42.280
<v Speaker 1>has gotten undone in a Super Bowl. But unlike the

0:07:42.320 --> 0:07:46.600
<v Speaker 1>Tampa Super Bowl were despite the constant pressure, Patrick was

0:07:46.640 --> 0:07:51.240
<v Speaker 1>actually pretty magical. The stats don't back it up, but

0:07:51.320 --> 0:07:54.720
<v Speaker 1>it the eye test does. This game was the opposite.

0:07:54.320 --> 0:07:59.360
<v Speaker 1>The stats look better than the actual game did. Team

0:07:59.360 --> 0:08:02.840
<v Speaker 1>had twenty three yards in the first half and the

0:08:03.040 --> 0:08:08.000
<v Speaker 1>opening drive of the game third down, easy pass to

0:08:08.080 --> 0:08:13.360
<v Speaker 1>Travis Kelcey, a little behind it, and Travis didn't catch it.

0:08:13.360 --> 0:08:15.840
<v Speaker 1>It wouldn't have been. It was catchable, but not a

0:08:15.840 --> 0:08:19.960
<v Speaker 1>great pass. It was a drop but not a horrible one.

0:08:20.040 --> 0:08:24.480
<v Speaker 1>But it's like that was a oh and that was

0:08:24.560 --> 0:08:27.760
<v Speaker 1>without pressure. There was you know, his game is zero

0:08:27.960 --> 0:08:31.560
<v Speaker 1>zero and no no literal you know, pressure from the

0:08:31.600 --> 0:08:35.680
<v Speaker 1>defensive line. And then on the very next drive, after

0:08:35.679 --> 0:08:39.480
<v Speaker 1>the Chiefs got another stop, Mahomes got his left tackle

0:08:39.559 --> 0:08:43.120
<v Speaker 1>Joe Tooney, pushed into him right as he's releasing the ball,

0:08:43.200 --> 0:08:44.599
<v Speaker 1>throws it short at the pick, and all of a

0:08:44.640 --> 0:08:50.480
<v Speaker 1>sudden's twenty four to nothing and the game's over now.

0:08:50.520 --> 0:08:54.960
<v Speaker 1>I did convince myself at halftime the game. I felt

0:08:54.960 --> 0:08:57.680
<v Speaker 1>it was over at seventeen nothing, and then at the

0:08:57.720 --> 0:09:01.560
<v Speaker 1>long halftime I convinced myself in fact was not over

0:09:02.080 --> 0:09:06.400
<v Speaker 1>because and this was the you know, the cruelest thirty

0:09:06.480 --> 0:09:11.640
<v Speaker 1>minutes of the game. And I mentioned this on TV,

0:09:11.800 --> 0:09:15.640
<v Speaker 1>and it seems like some people had forgotten it that

0:09:17.200 --> 0:09:23.400
<v Speaker 1>this dynastic run started in a game that Speaking of Bamani,

0:09:24.040 --> 0:09:29.160
<v Speaker 1>I think he was with me for the divisional round

0:09:29.200 --> 0:09:33.760
<v Speaker 1>against the Houston Texans where they were down twenty four

0:09:33.800 --> 0:09:37.520
<v Speaker 1>to nothing and then went on a fifty one to

0:09:37.559 --> 0:09:41.720
<v Speaker 1>seven run. And so a halftime, I'm like, what wouldn't

0:09:41.800 --> 0:09:46.800
<v Speaker 1>that be something if the Bookends are being down twenty

0:09:46.840 --> 0:09:50.720
<v Speaker 1>four to nothing, if with Brady mister down twenty eight

0:09:50.760 --> 0:09:57.200
<v Speaker 1>to three, in the booth. Patrick orchestrates a twenty four

0:09:57.280 --> 0:10:00.760
<v Speaker 1>point comeback in the second half of the Super Bowl,

0:10:02.120 --> 0:10:04.600
<v Speaker 1>but instead they instantly went three and out again. And

0:10:04.640 --> 0:10:09.440
<v Speaker 1>it was just that. And so I will talk big

0:10:09.559 --> 0:10:16.640
<v Speaker 1>picture chief stuff at length. Shortly, the game analysis for

0:10:16.720 --> 0:10:21.760
<v Speaker 1>the Chiefs is very simple. They couldn't block them and

0:10:21.880 --> 0:10:28.800
<v Speaker 1>Patrick was skittish. And so I this is how do.

0:10:28.720 --> 0:10:30.120
<v Speaker 3>You think he played? Bat Are you saying that he

0:10:30.160 --> 0:10:30.679
<v Speaker 3>played badly?

0:10:31.520 --> 0:10:36.560
<v Speaker 1>Yes, I do think he played poorly. I I So

0:10:36.760 --> 0:10:41.680
<v Speaker 1>I think demand's that given how the line played, the

0:10:41.840 --> 0:10:48.120
<v Speaker 1>Chiefs were going to lose. Given how Patrick played, they

0:10:48.160 --> 0:10:52.560
<v Speaker 1>were going to get blown out like that. It And

0:10:52.640 --> 0:10:58.160
<v Speaker 1>so if Patrick had on the times he did have time,

0:10:58.679 --> 0:11:03.600
<v Speaker 1>or he escaped the price sure thrown on target, on time,

0:11:03.960 --> 0:11:07.640
<v Speaker 1>accurate passes, they would have been able to stay within

0:11:07.840 --> 0:11:11.600
<v Speaker 1>reach at least. But Philly, you know, and will get

0:11:11.679 --> 0:11:15.679
<v Speaker 1>to jail In shortly. They dared jail In to pass

0:11:15.760 --> 0:11:18.319
<v Speaker 1>and Jalen was more than up for the challenge. They

0:11:18.360 --> 0:11:23.560
<v Speaker 1>stopped Saquon, it didn't matter. Philly's defense was flying around.

0:11:24.480 --> 0:11:26.360
<v Speaker 1>And so I thought this was one of the poorest

0:11:26.360 --> 0:11:29.439
<v Speaker 1>games of Patrick's career. There is no way around it.

0:11:30.280 --> 0:11:33.320
<v Speaker 1>And so he said it, and because he's such a

0:11:33.360 --> 0:11:37.440
<v Speaker 1>great leader, he took probably more of the blame than

0:11:37.520 --> 0:11:40.760
<v Speaker 1>he had to. But when you are the best player

0:11:40.760 --> 0:11:44.719
<v Speaker 1>in the sport, when you are going for history, and

0:11:44.760 --> 0:11:48.760
<v Speaker 1>when you, in my opinion, play of your twenty one

0:11:48.880 --> 0:11:52.160
<v Speaker 1>career playoff games the worst. I think this was worse

0:11:52.200 --> 0:11:55.720
<v Speaker 1>than the Tampa game by a wide margin, the worst

0:11:55.760 --> 0:11:59.760
<v Speaker 1>game of your career. You gotta wear it like that

0:12:00.160 --> 0:12:02.080
<v Speaker 1>just is what it is. You just have to wear it.

0:12:02.080 --> 0:12:06.319
<v Speaker 2>Go ahead, Demantsey on the sideline, we were comparing under

0:12:06.360 --> 0:12:07.200
<v Speaker 2>Brady all the time.

0:12:07.880 --> 0:12:09.439
<v Speaker 3>When when he got down like.

0:12:09.400 --> 0:12:12.000
<v Speaker 2>That, it kind of seemed like he sat in his

0:12:12.040 --> 0:12:15.520
<v Speaker 2>own head instead of like motivating his team around him.

0:12:15.559 --> 0:12:19.199
<v Speaker 1>So that bart I don't I don't agree with that,

0:12:19.760 --> 0:12:23.720
<v Speaker 1>because in the first half he seemed on the sideline

0:12:24.160 --> 0:12:28.880
<v Speaker 1>motivational and trying, you know that, trying to get guys

0:12:28.920 --> 0:12:34.280
<v Speaker 1>going right. The shots of him sitting and Kelsey sitting

0:12:34.320 --> 0:12:36.920
<v Speaker 1>with like a blank look on his face and Chris

0:12:37.000 --> 0:12:40.400
<v Speaker 1>Jones falling to the ground, that was all when it

0:12:40.480 --> 0:12:42.959
<v Speaker 1>was over. Like, yeah, I know the game wasn't over,

0:12:43.040 --> 0:12:45.680
<v Speaker 1>but they were down thirty points. In the second half

0:12:45.720 --> 0:12:50.360
<v Speaker 1>of the Super Bowl, they hadn't crossed midfield. So I

0:12:50.400 --> 0:12:52.720
<v Speaker 1>don't think and I want to say one other thing

0:12:52.720 --> 0:12:57.400
<v Speaker 1>about Patrick's game. I do not consider what he did

0:12:57.440 --> 0:13:01.920
<v Speaker 1>at the end stat padding in the traditional sense. Stat

0:13:01.960 --> 0:13:05.680
<v Speaker 1>padding in the traditional senses. I know we've lost, I

0:13:05.720 --> 0:13:08.960
<v Speaker 1>don't care. I'm gonna make my numbers look better. I

0:13:09.120 --> 0:13:11.400
<v Speaker 1>consider what Patrick did at the end of that game.

0:13:12.040 --> 0:13:15.040
<v Speaker 1>I'm listen, man, I'm fighting to the very end. And

0:13:15.240 --> 0:13:18.160
<v Speaker 1>you know in doing that, he got blasted in the

0:13:18.200 --> 0:13:19.360
<v Speaker 1>face and a strip sack.

0:13:19.480 --> 0:13:21.160
<v Speaker 2>I think the guy is just not gonna do anything

0:13:21.160 --> 0:13:22.560
<v Speaker 2>for the rest of the game just because they're down,

0:13:22.760 --> 0:13:23.600
<v Speaker 2>not gonna.

0:13:23.320 --> 0:13:27.600
<v Speaker 1>Well no, I mean something. You get those allegations when

0:13:27.640 --> 0:13:31.160
<v Speaker 1>the other team has their backups in. Yeah, you're not

0:13:31.280 --> 0:13:35.040
<v Speaker 1>just running the ball to end the game. But there

0:13:35.360 --> 0:13:38.200
<v Speaker 1>it's the super Bowl. If or a regular season game

0:13:38.520 --> 0:13:40.480
<v Speaker 1>and they were down like that, they would have just

0:13:40.559 --> 0:13:43.319
<v Speaker 1>gotten out of there. It's the super Bowl. You got

0:13:43.360 --> 0:13:45.440
<v Speaker 1>to play it to the end, and you know what

0:13:45.480 --> 0:13:47.840
<v Speaker 1>I mean, and do the onside kicks and go for

0:13:47.920 --> 0:13:49.720
<v Speaker 1>the deep shots and do what's.

0:13:49.440 --> 0:13:51.480
<v Speaker 3>The game in the future, it will make it look

0:13:51.480 --> 0:13:52.160
<v Speaker 3>a little bit better.

0:13:52.800 --> 0:13:56.720
<v Speaker 1>Well, that's what's right. So that's the that's the reason

0:13:56.920 --> 0:14:00.720
<v Speaker 1>for stat padding is so in five ten years you

0:14:00.760 --> 0:14:04.160
<v Speaker 1>look back on it, you're like, oh, listen, Like, if

0:14:04.160 --> 0:14:08.280
<v Speaker 1>someone didn't watch this game a decade from now and

0:14:08.320 --> 0:14:11.680
<v Speaker 1>they just look at it, they would probably think, oh,

0:14:11.760 --> 0:14:15.400
<v Speaker 1>the Chiefs defense just got annihilated. Offense, did you know?

0:14:15.640 --> 0:14:18.439
<v Speaker 1>The turnovers are bad? But scored twenty points? And that's

0:14:18.480 --> 0:14:20.120
<v Speaker 1>not what it was. They were down thirty four to nothing.

0:14:20.720 --> 0:14:22.720
<v Speaker 1>They were down thirty four to nothing, and the defense,

0:14:22.760 --> 0:14:26.000
<v Speaker 1>in my opinion at that moment, had really only allowed

0:14:26.040 --> 0:14:29.800
<v Speaker 1>seventeen points because seven was on a pick six, seven

0:14:29.960 --> 0:14:32.880
<v Speaker 1>was right after a super short field interception, and three

0:14:33.120 --> 0:14:36.280
<v Speaker 1>was on a super short field after the fumble, and

0:14:36.360 --> 0:14:41.960
<v Speaker 1>so like that's the that was the problem, right, No,

0:14:42.440 --> 0:14:45.360
<v Speaker 1>the deep listen, they shut down Saquon. They did what

0:14:45.400 --> 0:14:48.200
<v Speaker 1>people thought they couldn't do, and they got their ass kicked.

0:14:49.160 --> 0:14:55.120
<v Speaker 1>And so this is where I will I will go

0:14:55.640 --> 0:15:00.280
<v Speaker 1>precedent for this, and I you know, I have aid

0:15:00.400 --> 0:15:04.560
<v Speaker 1>for a while that Mahomes is trying to speed run

0:15:04.640 --> 0:15:12.080
<v Speaker 1>Brady's career. I didn't account for the seven Super Bowl

0:15:12.640 --> 0:15:17.600
<v Speaker 1>to be a part of that. So in our lifetimes, Demons,

0:15:19.120 --> 0:15:24.440
<v Speaker 1>there have been two games total, two games that were

0:15:24.520 --> 0:15:30.200
<v Speaker 1>played where if a team won that game, they would

0:15:30.240 --> 0:15:34.120
<v Speaker 1>have the universal claim of greatest team of all time.

0:15:35.840 --> 0:15:40.800
<v Speaker 1>One game was the undefeated seven Patriots up against the

0:15:40.840 --> 0:15:44.800
<v Speaker 1>New York Giants, and the other game was this Sunday,

0:15:46.320 --> 0:15:51.840
<v Speaker 1>and in both games, a team with a seemingly invincible

0:15:51.920 --> 0:15:54.880
<v Speaker 1>quarterback who had been the best team in the sport

0:15:55.000 --> 0:15:59.440
<v Speaker 1>all year long, played its single worst game of the season.

0:16:00.720 --> 0:16:06.800
<v Speaker 1>That Patriots game was close because the defense played well,

0:16:06.880 --> 0:16:10.600
<v Speaker 1>Brady didn't have as many turnovers, and because they weren't

0:16:10.640 --> 0:16:13.120
<v Speaker 1>playing a team nearly as good as this Eagles team.

0:16:13.480 --> 0:16:16.600
<v Speaker 1>But that Patriots team, which set the all time record

0:16:16.600 --> 0:16:20.920
<v Speaker 1>for points, scored that Patriots team that was favored in

0:16:21.000 --> 0:16:24.160
<v Speaker 1>some games that year de Monse by twenty four and

0:16:24.160 --> 0:16:30.240
<v Speaker 1>a half points. That Patriots team scored fourteen points on

0:16:30.320 --> 0:16:34.080
<v Speaker 1>the precipice of history, played its worst game of the year.

0:16:35.520 --> 0:16:39.400
<v Speaker 1>And this Chiefs tea saying, no, I'm not saying levels

0:16:39.440 --> 0:16:41.960
<v Speaker 1>the two out. What I'm what I'm.

0:16:41.800 --> 0:16:49.800
<v Speaker 4>Saying is that we have now had two instances in

0:16:49.880 --> 0:16:55.440
<v Speaker 4>my forty years where a team walked on the field saying, man,

0:16:56.080 --> 0:16:56.480
<v Speaker 4>if we.

0:16:56.560 --> 0:17:01.440
<v Speaker 1>Finished this, we are the goat team for the Patriots.

0:17:01.440 --> 0:17:04.080
<v Speaker 1>It was a single season pursuit. For the Chiefs, it

0:17:04.160 --> 0:17:09.840
<v Speaker 1>was a three year pursuit, and in both games, whether

0:17:09.880 --> 0:17:13.879
<v Speaker 1>it's coincidence or the moment got to him, they couldn't

0:17:13.880 --> 0:17:20.320
<v Speaker 1>finish the deal. And that loss still haunts Brady. He

0:17:20.440 --> 0:17:24.160
<v Speaker 1>brings it up all the time. And I think one

0:17:24.200 --> 0:17:29.119
<v Speaker 1>of the reasons that loss still haunts Brady is because

0:17:31.800 --> 0:17:35.960
<v Speaker 1>he knew. He obviously knows now because the career is over,

0:17:36.320 --> 0:17:39.679
<v Speaker 1>but I think he knew at the moment, this is

0:17:39.680 --> 0:17:42.959
<v Speaker 1>the only chance I'm gonna get at this, The only

0:17:43.119 --> 0:17:46.440
<v Speaker 1>chance I'm gonna get at an undefeated season is right here,

0:17:46.680 --> 0:17:52.440
<v Speaker 1>right now. And I think for Patrick, he knew, man,

0:17:54.000 --> 0:17:59.000
<v Speaker 1>the only chance I'm gonna get to three peat, to

0:17:59.160 --> 0:18:02.840
<v Speaker 1>win a game, one, one more win and we're the

0:18:02.840 --> 0:18:07.720
<v Speaker 1>greatest team ever is right here, right now. And it

0:18:07.800 --> 0:18:12.479
<v Speaker 1>appeared to get to him a bit. And so that

0:18:12.720 --> 0:18:19.199
<v Speaker 1>to me is the story of this game. Eagles fans.

0:18:19.359 --> 0:18:21.600
<v Speaker 1>I promise I will give you your flowers in a bit.

0:18:21.960 --> 0:18:24.520
<v Speaker 1>But Demanse asked some of these follow up questions before

0:18:24.560 --> 0:18:25.720
<v Speaker 1>we get to legacy stuff.

0:18:27.160 --> 0:18:31.040
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, so, who is one of the nicest slash meanest

0:18:31.040 --> 0:18:33.040
<v Speaker 2>people that you heard from after the game. I know,

0:18:33.080 --> 0:18:34.840
<v Speaker 2>folks are probably reaching out to you seeing how you

0:18:34.840 --> 0:18:35.160
<v Speaker 2>were doing.

0:18:35.720 --> 0:18:40.520
<v Speaker 1>Or I haven't read the text. Okay, I have not

0:18:41.320 --> 0:18:45.119
<v Speaker 1>I have not read the texts Uh, that's what yesterday

0:18:45.200 --> 0:18:45.680
<v Speaker 1>I say.

0:18:45.720 --> 0:18:48.119
<v Speaker 2>I texted you during the game and you responded to

0:18:48.160 --> 0:18:49.760
<v Speaker 2>me like yesterday at work or something like that.

0:18:50.040 --> 0:18:52.640
<v Speaker 1>Right, Well, I responded to you when I saw it,

0:18:53.200 --> 0:18:57.760
<v Speaker 1>which was you text me again yesterday something else and

0:18:58.920 --> 0:19:03.239
<v Speaker 1>Demanse sent me a document yesterday and my response was

0:19:03.280 --> 0:19:05.920
<v Speaker 1>thanks so much, Pal, I love you so much. It

0:19:06.080 --> 0:19:09.639
<v Speaker 1>was made no sense in the document that he and

0:19:09.640 --> 0:19:12.840
<v Speaker 1>then I realized, like, oh, I, but I was reading

0:19:13.240 --> 0:19:17.280
<v Speaker 1>the text you sent me right after the game. No, Like,

0:19:17.400 --> 0:19:21.119
<v Speaker 1>let me look at the phone right now, I'm not

0:19:21.720 --> 0:19:24.000
<v Speaker 1>I have this is Can I put this up to

0:19:24.040 --> 0:19:27.280
<v Speaker 1>the camera because people will think I'm lying? What do

0:19:27.359 --> 0:19:32.720
<v Speaker 1>you think the number above my text messages is right

0:19:32.760 --> 0:19:38.480
<v Speaker 1>now for unread unopen texts now, keep in mind it

0:19:38.640 --> 0:19:42.879
<v Speaker 1>normally hovers around two hundred, like to be fair, because

0:19:42.880 --> 0:19:48.800
<v Speaker 1>I'm weird about texting and the TuS so if it

0:19:48.920 --> 0:19:53.160
<v Speaker 1>and keep in mind this number, I'm not in the

0:19:53.160 --> 0:19:56.000
<v Speaker 1>only group chats I'm in are for this show and

0:19:56.040 --> 0:19:59.480
<v Speaker 1>the TV show, and those aren't like peppering messages back

0:19:59.520 --> 0:20:02.679
<v Speaker 1>in the wa it normally hovers around two hundred. What

0:20:02.680 --> 0:20:04.000
<v Speaker 1>do you think the number is right now?

0:20:04.200 --> 0:20:05.720
<v Speaker 3>Probably in the fives.

0:20:05.760 --> 0:20:10.480
<v Speaker 1>Now does this show No, it's probably not gonna work.

0:20:10.720 --> 0:20:14.440
<v Speaker 1>Five hundred and thirty eight, Yeah, five hundred and thirty eight.

0:20:15.080 --> 0:20:17.400
<v Speaker 1>I don't know if those I gotta tell you, if

0:20:17.400 --> 0:20:22.000
<v Speaker 1>you're watching this, if you text me during that football game,

0:20:22.520 --> 0:20:25.359
<v Speaker 1>the only chance I'll ever see it is the next

0:20:25.359 --> 0:20:29.800
<v Speaker 1>time you text me. I'm not. I Am not going

0:20:30.640 --> 0:20:36.879
<v Speaker 1>to relive those feelings. I'm not. I uh yeah, like

0:20:37.000 --> 0:20:40.200
<v Speaker 1>cause I'm part of my morning so I'm so ingrained

0:20:40.200 --> 0:20:45.320
<v Speaker 1>in my morning routines of listening to podcasts. I now

0:20:45.480 --> 0:20:50.359
<v Speaker 1>have just gone back and found a bunch of like

0:20:50.440 --> 0:20:54.359
<v Speaker 1>the NBA trade deadline podcasts I didn't listen to during

0:20:54.440 --> 0:20:57.240
<v Speaker 1>super Bowl week, and that's what I'm listening to. So

0:20:57.440 --> 0:21:02.000
<v Speaker 1>like I'm I'm getting, I'm getting people's reaction to the

0:21:02.040 --> 0:21:06.040
<v Speaker 1>Mark Williams trade that has since been vetoed Like I am,

0:21:06.119 --> 0:21:10.680
<v Speaker 1>I'm not gonna consume any super Bowl content and it's

0:21:10.720 --> 0:21:14.080
<v Speaker 1>gonna be too painful. I have to create the content.

0:21:14.359 --> 0:21:17.680
<v Speaker 1>I'm not gonna consume it. I also, I don't know

0:21:17.720 --> 0:21:23.320
<v Speaker 1>if you remember this, but I I'm sure you remember

0:21:24.720 --> 0:21:28.960
<v Speaker 1>I bet Brazil to win the World Cup and said

0:21:29.760 --> 0:21:32.840
<v Speaker 1>that the money I bet on it was gonna pay

0:21:32.880 --> 0:21:35.560
<v Speaker 1>for a trip to go to Brazil after the World Cup,

0:21:36.200 --> 0:21:41.520
<v Speaker 1>and I booked the trip preemptively. Is two Februaries ago,

0:21:42.119 --> 0:21:44.320
<v Speaker 1>and then Brazil didn't win the World Cup, but your

0:21:44.320 --> 0:21:48.239
<v Speaker 1>mom and I went anyway. Our trip we're taking in

0:21:48.440 --> 0:21:50.000
<v Speaker 1>a week and a half. I don't think do you

0:21:50.040 --> 0:21:55.800
<v Speaker 1>know where we're going? No, So so this is sometimes

0:21:55.840 --> 0:21:59.280
<v Speaker 1>things work out the way they're supposed to. Because I'm

0:21:59.280 --> 0:22:04.320
<v Speaker 1>not trying to act like I'm a real celebrity. I'm not,

0:22:04.920 --> 0:22:14.240
<v Speaker 1>but I am shockingly recognized in I'm more recognized. It

0:22:14.240 --> 0:22:19.879
<v Speaker 1>would appear from my experience in the Caribbean than in

0:22:20.000 --> 0:22:23.760
<v Speaker 1>New York City. And I think it's got like the

0:22:23.760 --> 0:22:27.439
<v Speaker 1>the amount of and by locals by like guys that

0:22:27.760 --> 0:22:30.200
<v Speaker 1>because I think a lot of those guys love American

0:22:30.280 --> 0:22:34.520
<v Speaker 1>sports and they don't always get the games, but they

0:22:34.560 --> 0:22:37.959
<v Speaker 1>watch a ton of content YouTube, you know, TikTok stuff.

0:22:38.320 --> 0:22:42.960
<v Speaker 1>So it would be a nightmare for me to on

0:22:43.119 --> 0:22:46.320
<v Speaker 1>vacation go somewhere where a lot of people know me

0:22:47.359 --> 0:22:50.720
<v Speaker 1>and by and normally in February, your mom and I

0:22:50.760 --> 0:22:53.240
<v Speaker 1>go somewhere in the Caribbean to be warm. I am

0:22:53.359 --> 0:22:58.359
<v Speaker 1>literally going halfway around the world as far away as

0:22:58.440 --> 0:23:00.840
<v Speaker 1>I could, and it was already booked. We're going to

0:23:00.920 --> 0:23:06.760
<v Speaker 1>New Zealand. We're going to New Zealand, eighteen hour do

0:23:06.960 --> 0:23:12.119
<v Speaker 1>stop flight. And I god knows, like I haven't given

0:23:12.200 --> 0:23:17.359
<v Speaker 1>any Rugby takes or all see rules football takes, so

0:23:17.480 --> 0:23:20.960
<v Speaker 1>I will get to hide from this. Because here's the

0:23:21.000 --> 0:23:24.359
<v Speaker 1>other thing. Where do I like to go gamble? The

0:23:24.440 --> 0:23:28.280
<v Speaker 1>answer that question is Philadelphia. Well that's off the board

0:23:28.400 --> 0:23:32.520
<v Speaker 1>for months, maybe life Like I can't deal with these people,

0:23:32.960 --> 0:23:38.359
<v Speaker 1>and I was pretty yeah, I just can't deal. I

0:23:38.480 --> 0:23:39.840
<v Speaker 1>really just can't deal.

0:23:41.520 --> 0:23:41.840
<v Speaker 4>All right.

0:23:42.119 --> 0:23:44.359
<v Speaker 1>You asked a couple of other producer questions before we

0:23:44.400 --> 0:23:45.639
<v Speaker 1>get to the legacy stuff.

0:23:47.760 --> 0:23:50.160
<v Speaker 2>So all the first things, first stunts you guys had

0:23:50.200 --> 0:23:53.359
<v Speaker 2>it planned, were some of them unplanned. That happened since

0:23:53.440 --> 0:24:00.280
<v Speaker 2>you know, the Chiefs lost some of that little impromptu.

0:23:58.520 --> 0:24:02.639
<v Speaker 1>That was all Wild's hub, Dusty and Brew. I was.

0:24:03.840 --> 0:24:05.840
<v Speaker 1>I told them I knew they were gonna do something.

0:24:05.880 --> 0:24:08.200
<v Speaker 1>I didn't want to know what they were gonna do, and.

0:24:08.200 --> 0:24:08.919
<v Speaker 3>Just go ahead.

0:24:09.160 --> 0:24:12.119
<v Speaker 1>That was by the way, let me look real quick,

0:24:13.000 --> 0:24:16.720
<v Speaker 1>that's gonna be our I don't know what the TV

0:24:16.920 --> 0:24:19.240
<v Speaker 1>ratings are gonna end up. I assume they're gonna be good.

0:24:20.359 --> 0:24:23.520
<v Speaker 1>But not to sound like a jackass there, but people

0:24:23.600 --> 0:24:28.760
<v Speaker 1>want to see me in pain? That twenty five minute

0:24:29.840 --> 0:24:35.560
<v Speaker 1>A block has right now, it posted eighteen hours ago.

0:24:36.400 --> 0:24:39.200
<v Speaker 1>Has let me check? Oh gosh, darn it. Don't actually

0:24:39.240 --> 0:24:47.080
<v Speaker 1>play the video one million, nineteen thousand views eighteen hours

0:24:47.080 --> 0:24:54.600
<v Speaker 1>ago of people just wanting to see ten thousand comments Wow,

0:24:55.400 --> 0:24:57.240
<v Speaker 1>wanting to see me in pain.

0:24:59.560 --> 0:25:01.959
<v Speaker 2>You say that people can't hate watch for game, but

0:25:02.119 --> 0:25:03.280
<v Speaker 2>can they hate watch your show?

0:25:03.920 --> 0:25:04.920
<v Speaker 3>Do you think that happens?

0:25:05.160 --> 0:25:09.399
<v Speaker 1>Well, I don't think. I think the people that want

0:25:09.480 --> 0:25:12.800
<v Speaker 1>to see me in pain like the show. I think

0:25:12.800 --> 0:25:14.840
<v Speaker 1>it's like, you know what I mean, I get it,

0:25:14.880 --> 0:25:18.080
<v Speaker 1>So I don't. I don't think people want something they

0:25:18.119 --> 0:25:21.000
<v Speaker 1>don't like. They you know what I mean? So I

0:25:21.000 --> 0:25:27.639
<v Speaker 1>think they like the show. But it also felt again

0:25:27.800 --> 0:25:32.000
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna go Galaxy brain again. I think the kids

0:25:32.080 --> 0:25:36.040
<v Speaker 1>call this cope. But whatever, I think you'll agree with

0:25:36.119 --> 0:25:42.640
<v Speaker 1>me here for what I do for a living and

0:25:42.720 --> 0:25:49.360
<v Speaker 1>for our TV show and podcasts, specifically, the Chiefs. Losing

0:25:50.040 --> 0:25:56.639
<v Speaker 1>that game made next season exponentially more interesting.

0:25:57.640 --> 0:25:59.880
<v Speaker 2>I'm so glad I've literally said this to like three

0:26:00.080 --> 0:26:01.080
<v Speaker 2>four core workers yesterday.

0:26:01.080 --> 0:26:03.879
<v Speaker 3>I'm glad you had the same thought. I'm going places.

0:26:03.960 --> 0:26:10.120
<v Speaker 1>But yeah, yeah, that and it's because had they won,

0:26:12.359 --> 0:26:18.600
<v Speaker 1>every Chief's conversation next year is boring. It's either well,

0:26:18.640 --> 0:26:20.800
<v Speaker 1>it's not just people get tired of it. There's no

0:26:21.680 --> 0:26:26.320
<v Speaker 1>there's no stakes attached to it. Demanse the they had

0:26:26.359 --> 0:26:31.280
<v Speaker 1>they won, it's every Chiefs conversation is either a compliment

0:26:31.359 --> 0:26:38.240
<v Speaker 1>fest or a poorly constructed you probably don't believe it.

0:26:38.760 --> 0:26:42.919
<v Speaker 1>Here's why you can doubt them now. And it wouldn't

0:26:42.960 --> 0:26:45.800
<v Speaker 1>be there, you know what I mean. And so now

0:26:46.280 --> 0:26:50.240
<v Speaker 1>they have lost, they got their asses kicked. There's questions

0:26:50.280 --> 0:26:56.199
<v Speaker 1>about Travis's future. And if someone goes into next year

0:26:56.240 --> 0:26:59.160
<v Speaker 1>and is like, no, I mean, Philly's the best team.

0:26:59.600 --> 0:27:02.760
<v Speaker 1>That's a totally fair take. Somebody goes into next year

0:27:02.800 --> 0:27:05.879
<v Speaker 1>and says the Eagle, I'm sorry, the Bills or the

0:27:06.000 --> 0:27:10.879
<v Speaker 1>Ravens are going to copy the blueprint of what Philly did. That.

0:27:11.280 --> 0:27:13.199
<v Speaker 1>I might disagree with their ability to do that, but

0:27:13.280 --> 0:27:17.000
<v Speaker 1>that's a fair take. Like all those there's real stakes

0:27:17.040 --> 0:27:22.760
<v Speaker 1>attached now, yeah, the and there is too, Yes, and

0:27:22.760 --> 0:27:27.520
<v Speaker 1>an again, I promise we'll get to Philly, but let's uh,

0:27:28.119 --> 0:27:30.960
<v Speaker 1>let's go to the legacy stuff and before we get

0:27:31.000 --> 0:27:31.479
<v Speaker 1>to Philly.

0:27:32.160 --> 0:27:32.320
<v Speaker 3>Uh.

0:27:32.400 --> 0:27:34.879
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, So this is definitely one of, if not the

0:27:34.920 --> 0:27:37.399
<v Speaker 2>worst game of Patrick Mahomes's career. At the half, he

0:27:37.440 --> 0:27:41.000
<v Speaker 2>had thirty three yards, two picks, ten point seven passer rating.

0:27:41.680 --> 0:27:42.640
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

0:27:43.000 --> 0:27:46.679
<v Speaker 2>Reid couldn't scheme up anything. Uh and Patrick Mahomes couldn't

0:27:46.680 --> 0:27:48.800
<v Speaker 2>seem to get away from them? Is how what does

0:27:48.840 --> 0:27:49.960
<v Speaker 2>this mean for his legacy?

0:27:51.000 --> 0:27:55.920
<v Speaker 1>Okay, so this isn't This might be the most important

0:27:55.960 --> 0:28:01.600
<v Speaker 1>conversation on the pod, except for when I have to

0:28:01.600 --> 0:28:03.320
<v Speaker 1>tell the story about what happened to me the night

0:28:03.320 --> 0:28:08.159
<v Speaker 1>before the Super Bowl with Jalen Hurt's family, who was delightful.

0:28:08.280 --> 0:28:21.920
<v Speaker 1>But it's an unbelievable story. So this simultaneously means everything

0:28:23.280 --> 0:28:30.159
<v Speaker 1>and nothing to Mahomes' legacy. It means everything to his

0:28:30.280 --> 0:28:35.720
<v Speaker 1>legacy in one specific way, his pursuit of Tom Brady

0:28:35.880 --> 0:28:40.040
<v Speaker 1>be the greatest player of all time. It took a

0:28:40.320 --> 0:28:44.360
<v Speaker 1>huge hit. And I understand Tom's three and two in

0:28:44.440 --> 0:28:47.040
<v Speaker 1>Super Bowls through you know, in this until he was

0:28:47.080 --> 0:28:49.800
<v Speaker 1>thirty five, I you know, lost two of his first

0:28:49.840 --> 0:28:54.120
<v Speaker 1>five like Patrick. I mentioned the seven corlers. This, I

0:28:54.160 --> 0:28:56.520
<v Speaker 1>get all that. That's not I'm not making the point

0:28:56.520 --> 0:28:59.480
<v Speaker 1>of like, oh, you can't overcome this loss. I'm making

0:28:59.520 --> 0:29:03.840
<v Speaker 1>the point that this was a chance to do something

0:29:03.880 --> 0:29:06.600
<v Speaker 1>Tom had never done, and he almost assuredly never get

0:29:06.640 --> 0:29:09.680
<v Speaker 1>this chance again. So then it kind of does become

0:29:10.400 --> 0:29:14.160
<v Speaker 1>a count. The rings count, the accomplishment's thing. And I

0:29:14.200 --> 0:29:16.840
<v Speaker 1>don't think Patrick's going to play for a quarter century

0:29:16.880 --> 0:29:21.360
<v Speaker 1>like Tom did, and so there and Patrick's not going

0:29:21.440 --> 0:29:24.680
<v Speaker 1>to be doing it in a division that has zero

0:29:24.800 --> 0:29:29.280
<v Speaker 1>competent coaches or quarterbacks for his entire career like Tom did.

0:29:29.560 --> 0:29:32.959
<v Speaker 1>So it just so for the pursuit of Brady, this

0:29:33.240 --> 0:29:36.920
<v Speaker 1>was massive for him. Compared to anyone else in the

0:29:37.000 --> 0:29:41.920
<v Speaker 1>league or in league history, it means almost nothing. He

0:29:41.960 --> 0:29:46.280
<v Speaker 1>had lapped them all already. So I let me give you,

0:29:47.120 --> 0:29:51.720
<v Speaker 1>so who are so? For the for the other quarterbacks

0:29:51.760 --> 0:29:55.920
<v Speaker 1>currently playing, If someone wants to say, Jalen Hurts gets

0:29:55.920 --> 0:29:58.040
<v Speaker 1>to call himself best quarterback in the league right now,

0:29:58.280 --> 0:30:00.600
<v Speaker 1>I'll listen to it, and again I'll to Jalen in

0:30:00.640 --> 0:30:03.360
<v Speaker 1>a bit. I think that would be a bridge way

0:30:03.400 --> 0:30:07.960
<v Speaker 1>too far. But it's like, hey, he's played in the

0:30:07.960 --> 0:30:10.280
<v Speaker 1>super Bowl twice in the last three years. He was

0:30:10.320 --> 0:30:14.160
<v Speaker 1>awesome in both games. He was the champion. Now like

0:30:14.520 --> 0:30:18.680
<v Speaker 1>he gets it like that. The argument against that is

0:30:19.160 --> 0:30:22.720
<v Speaker 1>to me a one on like, are we even being

0:30:22.800 --> 0:30:25.760
<v Speaker 1>serious here? He thinks the best quarterback in football. But

0:30:26.560 --> 0:30:28.600
<v Speaker 1>you can just be like, no, the wins. I am

0:30:28.640 --> 0:30:32.520
<v Speaker 1>a wins guy. That's what it is. That's all fine.

0:30:32.880 --> 0:30:37.440
<v Speaker 1>I so I oddly, even though I don't think Jalen

0:30:37.560 --> 0:30:40.960
<v Speaker 1>is as good as Josh Lamar or Joe, I will

0:30:41.040 --> 0:30:44.120
<v Speaker 1>listen to a Jalen Hurts deserves the spot at top

0:30:44.160 --> 0:30:49.920
<v Speaker 1>Mahomes Mountain before I will listen to Josh Lamar or

0:30:50.000 --> 0:31:00.200
<v Speaker 1>Joe do. Because what cannot happen is how someone performs

0:31:00.840 --> 0:31:08.680
<v Speaker 1>in a Super Bowl knocks them down. So someone who

0:31:09.400 --> 0:31:14.960
<v Speaker 1>a direct competitor who they beat and outplayed to get

0:31:15.000 --> 0:31:21.040
<v Speaker 1>to that Super Bowl gets elevated. So in twenty twenty two,

0:31:21.560 --> 0:31:24.840
<v Speaker 1>the reason Joe Burrow didn't have a chance to have

0:31:24.960 --> 0:31:29.400
<v Speaker 1>this done to him by the Eagles defense was because

0:31:29.880 --> 0:31:33.360
<v Speaker 1>Patrick beat him and outplayed him in the AFC Championship Game.

0:31:33.960 --> 0:31:37.720
<v Speaker 1>In twenty twenty three, the reason Lamar didn't have a

0:31:37.880 --> 0:31:41.160
<v Speaker 1>chance to have this done to him by the San

0:31:41.160 --> 0:31:45.719
<v Speaker 1>Francisco forty nine ers is because Patrick beat him and

0:31:45.760 --> 0:31:49.400
<v Speaker 1>outplayed him in the AFC Championship Game. And in twenty

0:31:49.480 --> 0:31:53.440
<v Speaker 1>twenty four, the reason Josh Allen didn't have a chance

0:31:53.760 --> 0:31:56.560
<v Speaker 1>to have this done to him by this Eagles defense

0:31:56.800 --> 0:31:59.640
<v Speaker 1>is because Patrick beat him and outplayed him in the

0:31:59.680 --> 0:32:04.680
<v Speaker 1>afa Championship Game. So what this game means for mahomes

0:32:04.840 --> 0:32:13.600
<v Speaker 1>current standing amongst contemporaries is nothing. Nothing. What it means

0:32:13.640 --> 0:32:18.520
<v Speaker 1>for his standing amongst the all time greats, well, I

0:32:18.520 --> 0:32:22.080
<v Speaker 1>don't think anybody is going to argue, oh he Now

0:32:22.400 --> 0:32:25.120
<v Speaker 1>if someone were going to like, who are the other guys?

0:32:25.120 --> 0:32:29.480
<v Speaker 1>He's up against the only other guy other than Braid. Again,

0:32:29.560 --> 0:32:34.000
<v Speaker 1>Brady is here. So we're talking about everyone beneath Brady Well,

0:32:34.040 --> 0:32:38.480
<v Speaker 1>who's been to as many Super Bowls as Patrick only Lway.

0:32:39.280 --> 0:32:42.640
<v Speaker 1>Did Elway ever get blown out? Uh? Yeah? Did he

0:32:42.680 --> 0:32:46.200
<v Speaker 1>ever lose Super Bowls? Lost his first three? So it

0:32:46.280 --> 0:32:50.880
<v Speaker 1>is is that a thing that we're worried about here?

0:32:51.160 --> 0:32:55.040
<v Speaker 1>So we're gonna say John Elway. John Lway lost Super

0:32:55.040 --> 0:32:57.719
<v Speaker 1>Bowl fifty five to ten, and it was, by the way,

0:32:57.920 --> 0:33:00.320
<v Speaker 1>after losing a Super Bowl forty two to ten, and

0:33:00.400 --> 0:33:03.560
<v Speaker 1>after losing a Super Bowl thirty nine to twenty. So okay,

0:33:03.800 --> 0:33:08.920
<v Speaker 1>so elway, we're throwing l Way out Peyton Manning Well,

0:33:08.960 --> 0:33:14.040
<v Speaker 1>Peyton Manning. Peyton Manning lost to Super Bowl forty three

0:33:14.080 --> 0:33:18.600
<v Speaker 1>to eight, very similar circumstances, and it was after he

0:33:18.720 --> 0:33:23.960
<v Speaker 1>had arguably the greatest season to any quarterbacks ever had. Okay,

0:33:24.000 --> 0:33:27.400
<v Speaker 1>so we're not gonna elevate those two guys. The argument

0:33:28.440 --> 0:33:34.320
<v Speaker 1>for elevation of one guy Joe Cool Joe Montana. Joe

0:33:34.320 --> 0:33:38.560
<v Speaker 1>Montana played in four Super Bowls and played great in

0:33:38.840 --> 0:33:43.000
<v Speaker 1>all four Super Bowls, never threw a pick one all four.

0:33:43.920 --> 0:33:45.520
<v Speaker 1>You know, he was on the other side of that

0:33:45.720 --> 0:33:50.360
<v Speaker 1>Lway fifty five to ten law or loss. Here is

0:33:50.400 --> 0:33:55.200
<v Speaker 1>the problem, and this is the tentacles kind of of

0:33:56.000 --> 0:34:05.960
<v Speaker 1>part of old Lebron Jordan arguments Joe Montana from nineteen

0:34:06.040 --> 0:34:12.600
<v Speaker 1>eighty six eighty seven, I'm sorry, nineteen eighty five, eighty six,

0:34:12.680 --> 0:34:17.880
<v Speaker 1>eighty seven. In those three years, Demonse went to the

0:34:17.880 --> 0:34:23.440
<v Speaker 1>playoffs three times, lost in the playoffs in the first

0:34:23.440 --> 0:34:28.840
<v Speaker 1>in his first game all three times. In those three games,

0:34:29.480 --> 0:34:35.480
<v Speaker 1>had a total of zero touchdowns, had four interceptions, and

0:34:35.640 --> 0:34:43.560
<v Speaker 1>lost three times by double digits, once forty nine to three.

0:34:43.920 --> 0:34:48.160
<v Speaker 1>So the argument that like, Oh, if you're great, this

0:34:48.239 --> 0:34:52.359
<v Speaker 1>doesn't happen to you. That's three years in a row,

0:34:53.040 --> 0:34:56.520
<v Speaker 1>Smack dab in the middle of his prime where he

0:34:56.719 --> 0:35:00.000
<v Speaker 1>didn't win a playoff game where he got blown up

0:35:00.080 --> 0:35:05.120
<v Speaker 1>out where they couldn't move the football. He lost back

0:35:05.160 --> 0:35:07.160
<v Speaker 1>to back years in the playoffs where he has often

0:35:07.200 --> 0:35:12.200
<v Speaker 1>scored three points, where he didn't score a touchdown. So

0:35:13.080 --> 0:35:17.160
<v Speaker 1>what I won't And this is a fundamental belief I

0:35:17.200 --> 0:35:25.200
<v Speaker 1>have about sports. There is no championship round performance that

0:35:25.239 --> 0:35:29.200
<v Speaker 1>results in a loss that is worse than a first

0:35:29.320 --> 0:35:34.279
<v Speaker 1>round performance that results in a loss. Just this. And

0:35:34.360 --> 0:35:38.240
<v Speaker 1>so I don't know who else is on this list

0:35:38.280 --> 0:35:42.080
<v Speaker 1>we're gonna talk about, like, oh, we're gonna elevate Aaron

0:35:42.160 --> 0:35:44.959
<v Speaker 1>Rodgers never played brutal in a Super Bowl? Yeh, because

0:35:44.960 --> 0:35:48.040
<v Speaker 1>he played twenty years and got to one. And so

0:35:48.760 --> 0:35:53.399
<v Speaker 1>like you, you're correct. But so there's just so. If

0:35:53.440 --> 0:35:58.759
<v Speaker 1>the argument is Tom Brady is the only legend to

0:35:58.880 --> 0:36:03.640
<v Speaker 1>ever play quarterback in NFL history, fine, But if the

0:36:03.760 --> 0:36:10.200
<v Speaker 1>legend quarterback room has two or more seats, Patrick's the

0:36:10.239 --> 0:36:13.080
<v Speaker 1>first person to sit down in that second seat. And

0:36:13.120 --> 0:36:17.919
<v Speaker 1>that's with this performance. There is not a guy you

0:36:18.000 --> 0:36:25.320
<v Speaker 1>can find that didn't have horrifying postseason losses. There isn't one,

0:36:25.560 --> 0:36:33.080
<v Speaker 1>and Patrick remains the only player to never have the

0:36:33.120 --> 0:36:37.640
<v Speaker 1>horrifying postseason loss early. And this is again where if

0:36:37.680 --> 0:36:41.600
<v Speaker 1>we are going to be I think fair, we are

0:36:41.640 --> 0:36:45.920
<v Speaker 1>going to acknowledge that the year Tom was trying to

0:36:45.960 --> 0:36:50.120
<v Speaker 1>do what Patrick was trying to do this week, which

0:36:50.320 --> 0:36:57.440
<v Speaker 1>was execute a three peat. He lost in the divisional

0:36:57.560 --> 0:37:04.840
<v Speaker 1>round to Jay Cutler twenty seven thirteen, throwing a couple picks,

0:37:04.880 --> 0:37:09.600
<v Speaker 1>including a pick six. Like again, and that's wasn't a

0:37:09.640 --> 0:37:13.080
<v Speaker 1>super Bowl it was he played so poorly in that

0:37:13.160 --> 0:37:16.200
<v Speaker 1>game they didn't get to the super Bowl. Again. Tom's

0:37:16.239 --> 0:37:19.520
<v Speaker 1>resume is unimpeachable. But what we're not gonna do is

0:37:20.000 --> 0:37:24.920
<v Speaker 1>act like there is this group of quarterbacks current or

0:37:24.960 --> 0:37:31.160
<v Speaker 1>in the past who don't have some brutal playoff losses

0:37:31.200 --> 0:37:34.920
<v Speaker 1>on their resume. Patrick remains the only guy who I

0:37:34.920 --> 0:37:38.359
<v Speaker 1>would argue has just won. And you can say, yeah,

0:37:38.400 --> 0:37:40.279
<v Speaker 1>but it came on the biggest stage. Came on the

0:37:40.280 --> 0:37:42.440
<v Speaker 1>biggest stage, because that's the only stage he plays on.

0:37:43.680 --> 0:37:47.320
<v Speaker 1>It's unfathomable at this point that he would be playing

0:37:47.360 --> 0:37:50.359
<v Speaker 1>in the wild card round and getting blown out. You

0:37:50.400 --> 0:37:55.280
<v Speaker 1>can't even conceptualize that that happened to Joe Montana coming

0:37:55.320 --> 0:38:00.920
<v Speaker 1>off a Super Bowl in back to back years. So again,

0:38:01.040 --> 0:38:07.000
<v Speaker 1>like I I will, there's a lot of fair criticism

0:38:07.040 --> 0:38:10.840
<v Speaker 1>about this game. There is not a lot of Well,

0:38:11.840 --> 0:38:16.440
<v Speaker 1>now we have to rethink. You know where where Patrick

0:38:16.680 --> 0:38:21.719
<v Speaker 1>is in NFL history. That's not a thing now we do.

0:38:21.800 --> 0:38:25.319
<v Speaker 1>If you were calling him already the greatest of all time,

0:38:25.360 --> 0:38:28.520
<v Speaker 1>you got to rethink that. I said, had he won,

0:38:28.760 --> 0:38:31.160
<v Speaker 1>I would call him that he didn't. And the results

0:38:31.200 --> 0:38:34.520
<v Speaker 1>of the games matter. All right, We're gonna get to

0:38:36.000 --> 0:38:40.800
<v Speaker 1>my Super Bowl Leaves story. Nick Sirianni Jalen hurts Howie

0:38:40.920 --> 0:38:44.640
<v Speaker 1>Roseman in the rundown. It says I owe them all apologies.

0:38:44.719 --> 0:38:50.040
<v Speaker 1>That seems well, we'll see. But first and foremost, shout

<v Speaker 1>ball so here against code Wright and I'm giving them

0:41:51.120 --> 0:41:53.879
<v Speaker 1>a long read here because I have a real goal

0:41:53.960 --> 0:41:56.680
<v Speaker 1>here and let's put Demons back on the screen if

0:41:56.680 --> 0:42:01.920
<v Speaker 1>we can. So here's the deal, guys. We have a

0:42:02.080 --> 0:42:08.680
<v Speaker 1>goal for this football season, and we're six months away

0:42:08.719 --> 0:42:11.360
<v Speaker 1>from the football season. And guys, just so you guys know,

0:42:11.440 --> 0:42:13.640
<v Speaker 1>I'm not seeing Demonsee at all right now. Maybe we

0:42:13.680 --> 0:42:16.040
<v Speaker 1>can fix that. I don't know in the v mix.

0:42:17.680 --> 0:42:24.440
<v Speaker 1>But if this DraftKings thing goes well enough over the

0:42:24.480 --> 0:42:31.600
<v Speaker 1>next six months, then my goal is for next football season, demonse,

0:42:33.239 --> 0:42:36.960
<v Speaker 1>for when you open the DraftKings app, for there to

0:42:37.120 --> 0:42:40.680
<v Speaker 1>be you know, like you know, the rights Picks of

0:42:40.719 --> 0:42:42.680
<v Speaker 1>the Week or whatever, the little picture of me and

0:42:42.719 --> 0:42:46.120
<v Speaker 1>people can follow it, and and there to be one

0:42:46.200 --> 0:42:48.880
<v Speaker 1>right next to it, Demonse's teaser of the week.

0:42:49.800 --> 0:42:51.080
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

0:42:51.200 --> 0:42:56.279
<v Speaker 1>Nothing would be greater then the people open the DraftKings

0:42:56.360 --> 0:42:59.840
<v Speaker 1>app and they can just one click follow your teaser.

0:43:00.719 --> 0:43:04.719
<v Speaker 1>I think the only way we're gonna get that to

0:43:04.880 --> 0:43:09.399
<v Speaker 1>happen is if we I think, you know, we show

0:43:09.440 --> 0:43:12.680
<v Speaker 1>them that we can move action here. So we just

0:43:12.800 --> 0:43:16.960
<v Speaker 1>need people to use the DraftKings app, use promo code,

0:43:17.040 --> 0:43:20.840
<v Speaker 1>right w R I g h T. If you new customer,

0:43:22.640 --> 0:43:25.040
<v Speaker 1>bet five bucks, get one hundred million dollars in bonus bets,

0:43:25.480 --> 0:43:27.960
<v Speaker 1>and then we'll try to give out some plays on

0:43:28.040 --> 0:43:31.480
<v Speaker 1>the show, see if people follow them. Whatever it is. Again,

0:43:31.560 --> 0:43:37.640
<v Speaker 1>we have a very long documented history five out of

0:43:37.719 --> 0:43:40.960
<v Speaker 1>six years of being profitable against the spread and straight

0:43:41.000 --> 0:43:44.359
<v Speaker 1>up picks. Demons is on a one year run of

0:43:44.440 --> 0:43:50.040
<v Speaker 1>profitability and teasers, and so we've got six months to

0:43:50.120 --> 0:43:52.520
<v Speaker 1>kind of prove ourselves for the next football season. But

0:43:52.600 --> 0:43:58.279
<v Speaker 1>how sick would that being? Picture Demanse's teaser of the week.

0:44:00.560 --> 0:44:02.399
<v Speaker 1>All right, now to the Eagles piece of it?

0:44:03.280 --> 0:44:05.759
<v Speaker 2>All right, so we we know how you've always felt

0:44:05.800 --> 0:44:10.680
<v Speaker 2>about Sirianni Jalen Hurts, say struggles the middle, throws across

0:44:10.680 --> 0:44:12.600
<v Speaker 2>the field, you only like throw it up the sideline.

0:44:12.719 --> 0:44:18.480
<v Speaker 2>You even referred to Howie Roseman as a mock draft GM.

0:44:18.520 --> 0:44:20.759
<v Speaker 3>So where does this wind put them in your head?

0:44:22.360 --> 0:44:25.520
<v Speaker 1>All right, I'll do Hurts last, let me do Howie.

0:44:27.800 --> 0:44:31.960
<v Speaker 1>Howie is the apology I owe the loudest to. Even

0:44:32.040 --> 0:44:38.640
<v Speaker 1>though the doubt was probably the briefest and least renowned.

0:44:39.560 --> 0:44:44.840
<v Speaker 1>Everybody knows, you know, well documented doubts about Sirianni and

0:44:45.320 --> 0:44:47.719
<v Speaker 1>the things for good and for bad I've said about

0:44:47.800 --> 0:44:56.880
<v Speaker 1>Jalen Howie. I I didn't like the fact that when

0:44:56.920 --> 0:44:58.759
<v Speaker 1>I called him a mock draft GM, what I said

0:44:58.880 --> 0:45:05.239
<v Speaker 1>was how he rose Men's drafts are very best player available,

0:45:06.280 --> 0:45:10.279
<v Speaker 1>and they very often best player available is the mock

0:45:10.360 --> 0:45:13.759
<v Speaker 1>draft consensus best player. And so what would happen after

0:45:13.800 --> 0:45:17.840
<v Speaker 1>the drafts is all of the people who did mock drafts,

0:45:18.719 --> 0:45:22.520
<v Speaker 1>how he agreed with a lot of them, would draft

0:45:22.840 --> 0:45:25.280
<v Speaker 1>said player. And then I'm gonna be like, Howie Roseman

0:45:25.360 --> 0:45:28.280
<v Speaker 1>crushed it again, and I thought it was a little

0:45:29.080 --> 0:45:39.560
<v Speaker 1>tagai wag, tag tail wagging the doggish. However, whether that

0:45:39.760 --> 0:45:42.680
<v Speaker 1>you know, that just means that's the right way to draft,

0:45:42.880 --> 0:45:45.520
<v Speaker 1>whether it means my analysis was off, whatever, it means

0:45:45.960 --> 0:45:51.680
<v Speaker 1>that guy is built three distinct Super Bowl contenders and

0:45:51.719 --> 0:45:56.799
<v Speaker 1>two Super Bowl champions, did it with Carson, rebuilt it

0:45:56.840 --> 0:46:01.359
<v Speaker 1>on the fly with a totally different defense two years

0:46:01.400 --> 0:46:05.160
<v Speaker 1>ago with Jalen Hurts, and did it this year. And

0:46:05.239 --> 0:46:10.239
<v Speaker 1>so I think he has earned the claim of being

0:46:10.280 --> 0:46:14.279
<v Speaker 1>the second best GM in the entire NFL. So absolutely,

0:46:14.760 --> 0:46:17.920
<v Speaker 1>I mean, Howie Roseman, he also, you know, seemingly it

0:46:18.000 --> 0:46:20.880
<v Speaker 1>was him that because we know what in Siriani that

0:46:20.960 --> 0:46:24.160
<v Speaker 1>picked Kellen Moore and more importantly, Vic Fangio and Vic

0:46:24.239 --> 0:46:30.000
<v Speaker 1>Fangio just painted his masterpiece. So Howie full credit.

0:46:29.920 --> 0:46:32.080
<v Speaker 3>Right after the defense hues.

0:46:33.520 --> 0:46:37.360
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, well, last year the worst defensive football, worst defensive football.

0:46:37.400 --> 0:46:40.000
<v Speaker 1>It turned around with a lot of this and how

0:46:40.000 --> 0:46:43.680
<v Speaker 1>He's two rookies played great, Quinn and Mitchell and Cooper Dejan.

0:46:44.080 --> 0:46:46.600
<v Speaker 1>They brought in Zach Bond. He almost won Defensive Player

0:46:46.640 --> 0:46:49.759
<v Speaker 1>of the Year. Vick was unbelievable. Jalen Carter, who was

0:46:49.800 --> 0:46:53.000
<v Speaker 1>a risky top ten pick, was the second best d

0:46:53.120 --> 0:46:57.880
<v Speaker 1>tackle in football arguably this year. So honestly, honest to God,

0:46:58.239 --> 0:47:06.080
<v Speaker 1>full credit, full credit, Sirianne, I might just not know

0:47:07.320 --> 0:47:10.680
<v Speaker 1>what football players will relate to from a head coach,

0:47:12.520 --> 0:47:17.080
<v Speaker 1>like in the so coaches that I have been. Three

0:47:17.120 --> 0:47:19.480
<v Speaker 1>of the coaches that I have been most skeptical of

0:47:20.040 --> 0:47:24.520
<v Speaker 1>in the last five years, Dan Campbell after the bite

0:47:24.520 --> 0:47:31.120
<v Speaker 1>the knees press conference, I just the bite the knee

0:47:31.120 --> 0:47:36.160
<v Speaker 1>capture the I'm just being honest. My reaction was, Okay,

0:47:36.280 --> 0:47:39.560
<v Speaker 1>there's like meathead and then there's whatever this is. Turns

0:47:39.600 --> 0:47:42.960
<v Speaker 1>out he's like the sharpest analytics guy in the world.

0:47:43.239 --> 0:47:47.200
<v Speaker 1>His players would kill for him. He loved like, he's awesome.

0:47:47.840 --> 0:47:54.279
<v Speaker 1>My snap reaction was wrong. Second one, Joe Mizzoula. It's

0:47:54.360 --> 0:47:57.000
<v Speaker 1>like this dude's talking about the floor tastes and like blood.

0:47:57.040 --> 0:48:01.040
<v Speaker 1>He's watching the town. It was sixteen. He's just like,

0:48:01.080 --> 0:48:04.080
<v Speaker 1>he's a like, what is going on? He got elevated

0:48:04.120 --> 0:48:06.759
<v Speaker 1>to a position he wasn't ready for. He's awesome and

0:48:06.800 --> 0:48:11.680
<v Speaker 1>his players love him. Then they're Sirianni who probably had

0:48:11.680 --> 0:48:15.240
<v Speaker 1>the single worst opening press conference ever where he seemed

0:48:15.360 --> 0:48:19.319
<v Speaker 1>very unsure of himself and almost timid. It feels to

0:48:19.360 --> 0:48:22.600
<v Speaker 1>me like he then over corrected and was like, essentially,

0:48:23.000 --> 0:48:26.719
<v Speaker 1>I'm just going to embrace every South Philly stereotype there

0:48:26.760 --> 0:48:30.279
<v Speaker 1>ever has been and be brash and kind of a

0:48:30.680 --> 0:48:36.480
<v Speaker 1>you know, like provocative in these things. But again, wins

0:48:36.520 --> 0:48:43.359
<v Speaker 1>are a coaching stat and this team consistently wins. He

0:48:43.520 --> 0:48:46.439
<v Speaker 1>just won a Super Bowl where his team played one

0:48:46.480 --> 0:48:49.520
<v Speaker 1>of the best games any team has played in a

0:48:49.640 --> 0:48:54.440
<v Speaker 1>Super Bowl in forty years. He has to get credit.

0:48:55.760 --> 0:49:01.399
<v Speaker 1>He he has to be considered one of the five

0:49:01.480 --> 0:49:05.520
<v Speaker 1>or six best coaches in football. It's not fair to

0:49:05.680 --> 0:49:09.799
<v Speaker 1>elevate Kevin O'Connell, who I like a lot but has

0:49:09.840 --> 0:49:17.400
<v Speaker 1>accomplished nothing above Sirianni, it's not right like fair is fair.

0:49:17.880 --> 0:49:22.040
<v Speaker 1>So even if from a personality standpoint, I don't get it.

0:49:24.000 --> 0:49:27.839
<v Speaker 1>They've just won sixteen of seventeen games. The one lost

0:49:27.880 --> 0:49:31.400
<v Speaker 1>their quarterback got hurt. They blew out a team in

0:49:31.440 --> 0:49:35.440
<v Speaker 1>the NFC Championship Game, and blew out a team trying

0:49:35.440 --> 0:49:38.520
<v Speaker 1>to be the greatest team volts time in the Super Bowl.

0:49:40.640 --> 0:49:44.200
<v Speaker 1>Guys have been to the playoffs all four years. They've

0:49:44.200 --> 0:49:47.840
<v Speaker 1>had two awesome playoff runs like he gets the credit.

0:49:51.000 --> 0:49:57.839
<v Speaker 1>And then there's Jalen who would you Demond's eight and

0:49:57.920 --> 0:50:00.759
<v Speaker 1>be honest with me here, You're not gonna hurt, but

0:50:00.840 --> 0:50:05.440
<v Speaker 1>you're not make me mad hurt my feelings. Would you

0:50:05.520 --> 0:50:12.400
<v Speaker 1>have described me as a Jalen Hurts hater or a

0:50:12.560 --> 0:50:16.799
<v Speaker 1>Jailen Hurts skeptic if you were only given those two options,

0:50:17.160 --> 0:50:18.760
<v Speaker 1>like and again you can.

0:50:20.760 --> 0:50:23.719
<v Speaker 2>I'd say, I'd say you're a Lamar Jackson hater. As

0:50:23.800 --> 0:50:26.160
<v Speaker 2>far as Jalen Hurts, I'd see it as a skeptic.

0:50:27.440 --> 0:50:32.440
<v Speaker 1>So it's so funny you say that because I obviously

0:50:33.680 --> 0:50:37.560
<v Speaker 1>I shouldn't say obviously at this point, but I have

0:50:37.680 --> 0:50:41.440
<v Speaker 1>always thought Lamar is a better player than Jalen. But

0:50:41.560 --> 0:50:45.759
<v Speaker 1>I've also thought the way I've talked about Lamar and

0:50:45.840 --> 0:50:51.680
<v Speaker 1>holding him to an MVP standard, and the doubt and

0:50:51.719 --> 0:50:54.960
<v Speaker 1>the Aaron Judge and James Harden stuff in the choking

0:50:55.040 --> 0:51:01.600
<v Speaker 1>and Big Games. Calling me a Lamar Jackson hater, certainly

0:51:01.680 --> 0:51:03.960
<v Speaker 1>compared to the rest of the media, I think was

0:51:04.000 --> 0:51:09.120
<v Speaker 1>totally fair. I never would consider myself a jail and

0:51:09.200 --> 0:51:14.560
<v Speaker 1>Hurts hater. I thought that on the line graph of

0:51:14.680 --> 0:51:18.840
<v Speaker 1>Jalen Hurt's opinions in the media, mine is somewhere in

0:51:19.000 --> 0:51:24.200
<v Speaker 1>like the thirty fifth percentile. Like I probably was a

0:51:24.239 --> 0:51:27.960
<v Speaker 1>little more critical of him than the average media member,

0:51:28.239 --> 0:51:31.919
<v Speaker 1>but certainly not the most and certainly not a guy

0:51:32.000 --> 0:51:35.400
<v Speaker 1>that I spent a lot of time going after. I

0:51:35.560 --> 0:51:37.919
<v Speaker 1>just like was kind of matter of fact that, Hey,

0:51:38.480 --> 0:51:40.200
<v Speaker 1>I think the guy does a lot of things well,

0:51:40.680 --> 0:51:42.920
<v Speaker 1>but I don't really trust him as a drop back passer.

0:51:43.280 --> 0:51:45.399
<v Speaker 1>He had that unbelievable game in the Super Bowl two

0:51:45.440 --> 0:51:47.320
<v Speaker 1>years ago. I haven't seen him do it again since,

0:51:47.840 --> 0:51:51.680
<v Speaker 1>you know, to use the Barkley terms, you know, he's

0:51:51.719 --> 0:51:54.120
<v Speaker 1>a bus rider, not a bus driver. Like those are

0:51:54.120 --> 0:51:58.160
<v Speaker 1>the things I've said, and I'll get to his performance

0:51:58.160 --> 0:52:01.080
<v Speaker 1>in this game in a moment, but I have to

0:52:01.120 --> 0:52:07.200
<v Speaker 1>give you that setup for this story. So Saturday night,

0:52:07.320 --> 0:52:17.080
<v Speaker 1>Clutch Sports party at Brennan's in New Orleans, and it's

0:52:17.160 --> 0:52:22.280
<v Speaker 1>me your mom Demons again for the new audience members,

0:52:22.320 --> 0:52:24.279
<v Speaker 1>be like, you're hanging out with your close mom that's

0:52:24.280 --> 0:52:31.799
<v Speaker 1>also my wife and uh, your mom's best friend. You're

0:52:31.840 --> 0:52:39.120
<v Speaker 1>on Nicole. And as he's always the case at every

0:52:39.680 --> 0:52:43.279
<v Speaker 1>party I've ever been to with your mother, particularly when

0:52:43.280 --> 0:52:46.000
<v Speaker 1>it's your mother and Nicole, We're in there less than

0:52:46.120 --> 0:52:50.200
<v Speaker 1>five minutes and they have been invited into a section

0:52:50.400 --> 0:52:53.319
<v Speaker 1>to sit down because their feet hurt and because they're

0:52:53.360 --> 0:52:56.719
<v Speaker 1>beautiful women and they're just you know, pretty privilege. I

0:52:56.719 --> 0:53:01.160
<v Speaker 1>think it's called and so. And the people whose section

0:53:01.520 --> 0:53:04.879
<v Speaker 1>is you know it's you know, basically say you can

0:53:04.920 --> 0:53:08.200
<v Speaker 1>come into, but I don't. It's not I it's not

0:53:08.239 --> 0:53:11.200
<v Speaker 1>really my thing. Like I I'm not gonna like there's

0:53:11.280 --> 0:53:14.920
<v Speaker 1>limited seat space, there's all like the the even at

0:53:14.960 --> 0:53:17.520
<v Speaker 1>a party like this when the drinks are free, like

0:53:17.560 --> 0:53:20.839
<v Speaker 1>those are your bottles? Like I think I'm not I'm

0:53:20.840 --> 0:53:23.239
<v Speaker 1>not gonna I'm not gonna be stand offish. I'm not

0:53:23.239 --> 0:53:26.360
<v Speaker 1>gonna be rude, but I'm not. I'm not. I'm not

0:53:26.480 --> 0:53:29.239
<v Speaker 1>crossing the rope so to take you know what I mean.

0:53:29.400 --> 0:53:32.239
<v Speaker 1>And and also like, you know, I want to move

0:53:32.280 --> 0:53:33.960
<v Speaker 1>around the room. I know a lot of people there.

0:53:34.080 --> 0:53:36.880
<v Speaker 1>I you know, get my own drinks and whatever. But

0:53:36.920 --> 0:53:39.799
<v Speaker 1>they're hanging out there for an hour, hour and a half.

0:53:39.960 --> 0:53:42.840
<v Speaker 1>I'm moving back and forth. Say hi to my agent,

0:53:43.520 --> 0:53:48.000
<v Speaker 1>say hi to other people. Are not argue, but you know,

0:53:48.880 --> 0:53:51.480
<v Speaker 1>Philly fans come up to me and they're like, oh, man,

0:53:51.480 --> 0:53:54.200
<v Speaker 1>we're gonna kill you tomorrow. And I say, man, I

0:53:54.239 --> 0:53:56.800
<v Speaker 1>hope you enjoy tonight because tomorrow is gonna be the

0:53:56.840 --> 0:53:58.480
<v Speaker 1>worst day of your life. Little did I know?

0:53:58.840 --> 0:53:59.399
<v Speaker 3>You know what I mean?

0:53:59.400 --> 0:54:07.799
<v Speaker 1>Where a good time? A couple hours into the night. Oh,

0:54:08.520 --> 0:54:13.200
<v Speaker 1>another context for it, there's a UFC fight on the

0:54:13.239 --> 0:54:17.719
<v Speaker 1>Big Strickland pay per view and it's on Oh I

0:54:17.760 --> 0:54:21.359
<v Speaker 1>should have said this. This Clutch Sports party partnered with DraftKings.

0:54:21.560 --> 0:54:25.440
<v Speaker 1>It's DraftKings Clutch Sports party, so they have a giant

0:54:25.520 --> 0:54:29.840
<v Speaker 1>video board play in the fight. And where your mom

0:54:30.640 --> 0:54:34.600
<v Speaker 1>was sitting was like the perfect spot to watch the fight.

0:54:35.760 --> 0:54:38.920
<v Speaker 1>And I was into the fight. So once the fight started,

0:54:39.480 --> 0:54:43.360
<v Speaker 1>I moved over to where I'm standing right outside the

0:54:43.480 --> 0:54:48.799
<v Speaker 1>section watching this fight, and I stand there. You know

0:54:48.880 --> 0:54:52.080
<v Speaker 1>how I watched non chief sporting events. I just stand

0:54:52.200 --> 0:54:56.919
<v Speaker 1>totally still, arms crossed, like kind of looking. I don't

0:54:56.960 --> 0:54:59.040
<v Speaker 1>know crazy is the wrong word, but I'm just like,

0:54:59.520 --> 0:55:03.239
<v Speaker 1>I'm in in tensely watching the event. So I'm just

0:55:03.280 --> 0:55:07.839
<v Speaker 1>standing there silently watching the event. But I've now been

0:55:07.840 --> 0:55:11.680
<v Speaker 1>standing there probably you know. It's five round, five minute round,

0:55:11.760 --> 0:55:15.600
<v Speaker 1>five round fight. I watched the whole thing standing right there.

0:55:16.200 --> 0:55:18.919
<v Speaker 1>So it is standing there silently for a half hour,

0:55:19.520 --> 0:55:24.600
<v Speaker 1>not really thinking, just whatever. Right after the fight ends,

0:55:26.200 --> 0:55:29.080
<v Speaker 1>this woman comes up to me, who was sitting in

0:55:29.120 --> 0:55:35.839
<v Speaker 1>the same section but across from your mom, and says, uh,

0:55:36.520 --> 0:55:40.480
<v Speaker 1>I would like to ask you a question, like of course,

0:55:41.800 --> 0:55:45.200
<v Speaker 1>And she said, why do you talk so bad about

0:55:45.280 --> 0:55:50.640
<v Speaker 1>Jalen Hurts And I said, oh, I don't you know.

0:55:50.719 --> 0:55:54.239
<v Speaker 1>I don't know. I don't know that that's fair. She

0:55:54.360 --> 0:55:57.840
<v Speaker 1>was like, yes, it is. You always talk bad about it.

0:55:59.320 --> 0:56:04.600
<v Speaker 1>And I was like, well, you know, I I have

0:56:04.760 --> 0:56:07.480
<v Speaker 1>questions about his ability as a drop back pass her.

0:56:07.920 --> 0:56:11.280
<v Speaker 1>It's my opinion, Like, I don't think I've ever been personal,

0:56:11.320 --> 0:56:15.000
<v Speaker 1>I've ever been unfair. You know, you know, you know,

0:56:15.520 --> 0:56:21.239
<v Speaker 1>basically agree to disagree, and she's not having it now.

0:56:21.239 --> 0:56:27.640
<v Speaker 1>She's incredibly polite but very adamant that I have been

0:56:28.000 --> 0:56:33.320
<v Speaker 1>unfair and I don't even know if inaccurate, but unfair

0:56:33.440 --> 0:56:38.399
<v Speaker 1>about my Jalen Hurts commentary. So I'm like, okay, you know, like, hey,

0:56:39.080 --> 0:56:42.200
<v Speaker 1>the we can certainly have this conversation. Because if it

0:56:42.239 --> 0:56:44.680
<v Speaker 1>were again, this is me showing kind of how my

0:56:44.719 --> 0:56:48.799
<v Speaker 1>brain works. If it were a guy, particularly a guy

0:56:48.960 --> 0:56:52.480
<v Speaker 1>my age or younger, I'd have quickly been like, hey, man,

0:56:53.480 --> 0:56:56.520
<v Speaker 1>you know, agree to disagree whatever. But because it was

0:56:56.560 --> 0:56:59.480
<v Speaker 1>a woman, and a woman that I perceived to be

0:56:59.680 --> 0:57:03.600
<v Speaker 1>older than me, I felt like I have an obligation

0:57:03.760 --> 0:57:08.359
<v Speaker 1>here to be uber respectful and to just you know you,

0:57:08.440 --> 0:57:10.400
<v Speaker 1>if you really want to have this conversation, we can

0:57:10.440 --> 0:57:13.879
<v Speaker 1>have this conversation. And so I'm like, let me tell

0:57:13.920 --> 0:57:18.640
<v Speaker 1>you the good things I've said about Jail. She's like, no,

0:57:18.760 --> 0:57:20.800
<v Speaker 1>I'm not worried we're talking about that. I'm like, well, no,

0:57:20.880 --> 0:57:24.000
<v Speaker 1>let me let me paint you the full picture, right,

0:57:24.080 --> 0:57:26.720
<v Speaker 1>let me paint you the full picture. So I listed

0:57:26.760 --> 0:57:28.840
<v Speaker 1>that the first time we ever talked about him was

0:57:29.480 --> 0:57:31.560
<v Speaker 1>when he got benched in college and how well I

0:57:31.560 --> 0:57:34.320
<v Speaker 1>thought he dealt with that about you know, I go

0:57:34.400 --> 0:57:38.360
<v Speaker 1>through a bunch of stuff. I was like, and now

0:57:39.480 --> 0:57:45.440
<v Speaker 1>let me tell you, I think the single most critical

0:57:45.520 --> 0:57:50.080
<v Speaker 1>thing I've ever said about Jailing that is probably what

0:57:50.240 --> 0:57:52.960
<v Speaker 1>you were sent or you've seen or whatever. I was like,

0:57:53.080 --> 0:57:56.200
<v Speaker 1>I called him the weak link of the Eagles offense.

0:57:56.840 --> 0:58:00.080
<v Speaker 1>I was like, and I know that sounds awful. I

0:58:00.120 --> 0:58:03.040
<v Speaker 1>was like, but I believe the Eagles have a top

0:58:03.120 --> 0:58:07.040
<v Speaker 1>two offensive line, a top two receiving corps, a top

0:58:07.080 --> 0:58:11.320
<v Speaker 1>two running back. I so even if I think Jalen

0:58:12.120 --> 0:58:15.240
<v Speaker 1>is a top ten quarterback, that would make him the

0:58:15.240 --> 0:58:19.960
<v Speaker 1>weak link. And she still is like usually like I'm

0:58:20.000 --> 0:58:22.840
<v Speaker 1>a little charming. I feel like I'm, you know, making

0:58:22.880 --> 0:58:29.000
<v Speaker 1>the case whatever, not really having it. And then I

0:58:29.040 --> 0:58:32.520
<v Speaker 1>realized something I should have realized much earlier in the conversation.

0:58:34.880 --> 0:58:39.000
<v Speaker 1>And I said, man, may ask you a question. Said yes,

0:58:39.080 --> 0:58:44.400
<v Speaker 1>I said, are you Jalen hurts mother? And she said yes,

0:58:44.480 --> 0:58:45.040
<v Speaker 1>I am.

0:58:46.360 --> 0:58:46.600
<v Speaker 3>Yep.

0:58:47.680 --> 0:58:51.480
<v Speaker 1>And I was like, oh, man, I was like, and

0:58:51.600 --> 0:58:55.400
<v Speaker 1>I told her and I was like, listen, you're putting

0:58:55.480 --> 0:59:01.360
<v Speaker 1>me in a brutal spot. She was like, I don't know. Again,

0:59:01.360 --> 0:59:03.080
<v Speaker 1>I don't want to misquote her at all. I don't

0:59:03.080 --> 0:59:04.360
<v Speaker 1>know if she said, what do you mean or no,

0:59:04.440 --> 0:59:06.800
<v Speaker 1>I'm not or whatever. I was like, because now that

0:59:06.880 --> 0:59:11.480
<v Speaker 1>I know you're his mother, what I should do is

0:59:11.640 --> 0:59:15.720
<v Speaker 1>just say I'm sorry for everything I've ever said, or

0:59:16.400 --> 0:59:19.480
<v Speaker 1>you know, I'm playing a character. You know, it's my job,

0:59:19.640 --> 0:59:24.800
<v Speaker 1>whatever it is. I was like, but if I have

0:59:27.000 --> 0:59:31.480
<v Speaker 1>any hope of you having any respect for me after this,

0:59:32.520 --> 0:59:35.320
<v Speaker 1>I feel like I have to show you I do

0:59:35.440 --> 0:59:38.720
<v Speaker 1>believe what I say. I try to never be personal

0:59:39.400 --> 0:59:41.920
<v Speaker 1>and that we're you know what I mean, we might

0:59:42.000 --> 0:59:45.760
<v Speaker 1>just have a difference of opinion on certain things, and

0:59:45.880 --> 0:59:49.640
<v Speaker 1>so like, if you want to continue this conversation, I

0:59:50.040 --> 0:59:54.600
<v Speaker 1>will do it, like because but ultimately I'm not trying

0:59:54.640 --> 0:59:58.880
<v Speaker 1>to you know, are like have a weird thing here?

0:59:59.160 --> 1:00:02.080
<v Speaker 1>And she was like, no, I want to talk. And

1:00:02.160 --> 1:00:08.680
<v Speaker 1>so we talked for gosh, I don't know, another ten minutes,

1:00:09.040 --> 1:00:12.800
<v Speaker 1>and at some point a guy came over and I'm

1:00:12.840 --> 1:00:18.760
<v Speaker 1>not I I think it might have been Jalen's uh dad,

1:00:18.800 --> 1:00:23.080
<v Speaker 1>but I'm not certain, uh who was. He didn't say

1:00:23.080 --> 1:00:25.560
<v Speaker 1>anything in the conversation except for the fact that somehow

1:00:27.120 --> 1:00:30.600
<v Speaker 1>Houston came up and he knew who you were. So

1:00:30.760 --> 1:00:34.040
<v Speaker 1>my Jalen's dad was a you know, coach to Channel View. Yeah,

1:00:34.040 --> 1:00:39.000
<v Speaker 1>I mean somehow like my FA that came up, and oh,

1:00:39.120 --> 1:00:42.800
<v Speaker 1>I the I I kind of remember, I not, I

1:00:42.840 --> 1:00:45.480
<v Speaker 1>kind of remember, I do remember, I said. I was like, listen,

1:00:45.640 --> 1:00:49.320
<v Speaker 1>I I was like, my son played high level basketball,

1:00:49.640 --> 1:00:52.120
<v Speaker 1>nothing like what your son is playing. I was like,

1:00:52.200 --> 1:00:55.400
<v Speaker 1>but I was like, my son and Jalen, I think,

1:00:55.400 --> 1:00:58.640
<v Speaker 1>are the exact same age. It's like I and I

1:00:58.680 --> 1:01:02.360
<v Speaker 1>was like, and I watched my son, you know, play

1:01:02.560 --> 1:01:05.200
<v Speaker 1>trying to you know, get a college scholarship, play high

1:01:05.240 --> 1:01:08.760
<v Speaker 1>level basketball, and the guy standing there, he was like,

1:01:08.840 --> 1:01:11.600
<v Speaker 1>he's like, yeah, I remember. He's like you lived in

1:01:11.640 --> 1:01:14.120
<v Speaker 1>sugar Land, your son played at sugar Land or your

1:01:14.160 --> 1:01:17.320
<v Speaker 1>son played in sugar Land, and so that that just

1:01:17.400 --> 1:01:19.320
<v Speaker 1>now that I'm kind of piecing the night together, I'm like,

1:01:19.360 --> 1:01:21.439
<v Speaker 1>maybe that was Jalen's dad or just family because they're

1:01:21.480 --> 1:01:25.280
<v Speaker 1>from Houston and you guys would have been in high school.

1:01:25.040 --> 1:01:26.640
<v Speaker 3>At the same time, same time.

1:01:26.760 --> 1:01:29.040
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, right, and so all that all that would have

1:01:29.080 --> 1:01:31.680
<v Speaker 1>made sense. And so the reason I even brought it

1:01:31.760 --> 1:01:34.200
<v Speaker 1>up was I was like, I know, I know how

1:01:34.320 --> 1:01:36.320
<v Speaker 1>parents watch their kid and then I know how the

1:01:36.320 --> 1:01:38.760
<v Speaker 1>world watchs their kid like, it's probably not gonna be

1:01:38.760 --> 1:01:44.160
<v Speaker 1>the exact same thing, whatever it is, And and then

1:01:44.360 --> 1:01:47.400
<v Speaker 1>you know you don't have to give the entirety of

1:01:47.400 --> 1:01:51.920
<v Speaker 1>the conversation. She obviously just thinks I'm wrong, which is

1:01:52.160 --> 1:01:57.640
<v Speaker 1>what a mother should think. The And she thinks Jalen

1:01:57.720 --> 1:02:00.000
<v Speaker 1>doesn't get enough credit for a lot of the stuff

1:02:00.040 --> 1:02:02.080
<v Speaker 1>that doesn't show up in the box score, which is

1:02:02.120 --> 1:02:04.920
<v Speaker 1>totally fair. But I just I tell this long story

1:02:04.960 --> 1:02:08.000
<v Speaker 1>because it's an unbelievable story, but also because for the

1:02:08.120 --> 1:02:12.280
<v Speaker 1>ending of it, which is she says, what are you

1:02:12.480 --> 1:02:18.320
<v Speaker 1>going to say when he wins? And I was like, well,

1:02:18.480 --> 1:02:22.160
<v Speaker 1>if he and before she goes not if when he wins,

1:02:23.040 --> 1:02:26.920
<v Speaker 1>and I was like, well, you're not gonna like this answer.

1:02:27.520 --> 1:02:29.800
<v Speaker 1>It's like, but I'm just I'm just gonna be honest

1:02:29.840 --> 1:02:32.880
<v Speaker 1>with you. I can't tell you what I'm going to

1:02:32.920 --> 1:02:35.720
<v Speaker 1>say about a game before I see how the game

1:02:35.800 --> 1:02:39.439
<v Speaker 1>is played. I was like, and just knowing that they

1:02:39.520 --> 1:02:43.840
<v Speaker 1>won doesn't tell me enough about how he played for

1:02:44.000 --> 1:02:46.440
<v Speaker 1>me to be able to tell you what I will say.

1:02:46.680 --> 1:02:51.800
<v Speaker 1>It's like, what I will guarantee you is this, if

1:02:51.840 --> 1:02:56.320
<v Speaker 1>they win, I won't criticize him on Monday. It's like,

1:02:56.680 --> 1:02:59.600
<v Speaker 1>I can guarantee you that what's never happened is team

1:02:59.720 --> 1:03:03.280
<v Speaker 1>wins the super Bowl as an underdog against one of

1:03:03.320 --> 1:03:06.160
<v Speaker 1>the greatest teams ever. And I'm like, man, their quarterback

1:03:06.240 --> 1:03:08.360
<v Speaker 1>wasn't good. It's like, I can promise you I won't

1:03:08.360 --> 1:03:12.280
<v Speaker 1>criticize him. I was like, I can't promise you. I'm

1:03:12.280 --> 1:03:14.400
<v Speaker 1>gonna give him the level of praise you want, you

1:03:14.400 --> 1:03:19.320
<v Speaker 1>would want me to before I see the game. And again,

1:03:19.440 --> 1:03:22.600
<v Speaker 1>I don't think she loved the answer, but I just

1:03:22.720 --> 1:03:26.120
<v Speaker 1>I was like, listen, like, you know, agree, this is

1:03:26.240 --> 1:03:30.120
<v Speaker 1>what it is. And she was incredibly gracious and a

1:03:30.320 --> 1:03:35.320
<v Speaker 1>very sweet woman. And then I shook the other guy's hand.

1:03:35.720 --> 1:03:39.760
<v Speaker 1>Then another guy came over, guy your age, maybe a

1:03:39.760 --> 1:03:42.720
<v Speaker 1>little younger, and he came over and I put out

1:03:42.720 --> 1:03:46.240
<v Speaker 1>to shake his hand and I said, hey, what's your name?

1:03:47.080 --> 1:03:49.800
<v Speaker 1>And he was not of the mood of the other participants,

1:03:49.840 --> 1:03:52.080
<v Speaker 1>who's like, doesn't matter what my name is. I was like, okay,

1:03:52.200 --> 1:03:54.680
<v Speaker 1>got it, no problem. I was like, I'm Nick, nice

1:03:54.720 --> 1:03:57.320
<v Speaker 1>to meet you. Like, I don't know there's Jalen's cousin.

1:03:57.360 --> 1:04:00.200
<v Speaker 1>I don't know who it was, but yeah, I got

1:04:00.760 --> 1:04:04.120
<v Speaker 1>serious cousin vibes, and I'm like, Okay, you know what

1:04:04.120 --> 1:04:06.000
<v Speaker 1>I mean. This has gone about as well as it

1:04:06.000 --> 1:04:13.600
<v Speaker 1>could have gone all things considered. Yeah, And so that

1:04:13.720 --> 1:04:18.960
<v Speaker 1>was that. So I tell all that story to now

1:04:19.120 --> 1:04:23.400
<v Speaker 1>answer the question what am I gonna say? And what

1:04:23.440 --> 1:04:28.760
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna say is after that performance, it is I

1:04:29.000 --> 1:04:36.760
<v Speaker 1>have had a top five quarterbacks list of Mahomes, Alan Burrow,

1:04:36.880 --> 1:04:43.200
<v Speaker 1>Lamar Stafford pretty consistently over the last three years. There's

1:04:43.240 --> 1:04:47.160
<v Speaker 1>been movement two through five, but that's basically been my list,

1:04:49.360 --> 1:04:52.600
<v Speaker 1>and that has been on the back of Matt staff

1:04:52.720 --> 1:04:57.600
<v Speaker 1>Matt Stafford's inclusion. There has been because man, guy kicked

1:04:57.600 --> 1:05:00.000
<v Speaker 1>ass in Super Bowl, won a Super Bowl? Howm gonn

1:05:00.160 --> 1:05:02.960
<v Speaker 1>Super Bowl champion quarterbacks still playing well are there? Like

1:05:03.560 --> 1:05:08.640
<v Speaker 1>it's him, Mahomes and then Russell, who's different player, Rogers,

1:05:08.720 --> 1:05:12.360
<v Speaker 1>different player, Brady's gone, Like, winning a Super Bowl really

1:05:12.400 --> 1:05:17.880
<v Speaker 1>matters a lot. Winning a Super Bowl in part because

1:05:17.880 --> 1:05:22.440
<v Speaker 1>you played great and playing great in multiple Super Bowls

1:05:22.480 --> 1:05:26.920
<v Speaker 1>has to matter a lot. So what I'll say is

1:05:27.000 --> 1:05:29.520
<v Speaker 1>Jalen Hurts now deserves to be just considered one of

1:05:29.560 --> 1:05:36.120
<v Speaker 1>the five best quarterbacks it even if you have questions

1:05:36.160 --> 1:05:41.000
<v Speaker 1>about his down to down, drop back passing ability, as

1:05:41.160 --> 1:05:46.560
<v Speaker 1>I still do. He's a big game player. He's an

1:05:46.600 --> 1:05:51.560
<v Speaker 1>incredibly tough player. He's a leader that deals with a

1:05:51.720 --> 1:05:57.680
<v Speaker 1>very tough personality in aj an eccentric head coach. He

1:05:57.720 --> 1:06:01.600
<v Speaker 1>never causes any problems or distractions for team. He agrees

1:06:01.640 --> 1:06:06.200
<v Speaker 1>to continually run the toush push and that's a brutal

1:06:06.280 --> 1:06:10.160
<v Speaker 1>play that really is so valuable to them. And he

1:06:10.360 --> 1:06:13.840
<v Speaker 1>just thoroughly outplayed Patrick Mahomes in the Super Bowl and

1:06:13.880 --> 1:06:19.720
<v Speaker 1>beat him. And he also the guy who I had there,

1:06:19.720 --> 1:06:23.160
<v Speaker 1>Matt Stafford. He beat him in a game that Stafford

1:06:23.160 --> 1:06:25.520
<v Speaker 1>played well, but Stafford made the big mistake in Jalen

1:06:25.560 --> 1:06:31.320
<v Speaker 1>didn't with the fumble. So fair's fair, Like it's not

1:06:31.680 --> 1:06:36.000
<v Speaker 1>right to just say Justin Herbert at this point is

1:06:36.040 --> 1:06:40.919
<v Speaker 1>better than Jalen Hurts. It's not like the the arm

1:06:41.000 --> 1:06:44.200
<v Speaker 1>talent is one thing, like that's not everything has to

1:06:44.200 --> 1:06:49.840
<v Speaker 1>do with playing quarterback in this league. And he played

1:06:49.840 --> 1:06:52.440
<v Speaker 1>great in the conference championship game. He played great in

1:06:52.480 --> 1:06:55.800
<v Speaker 1>the Super Bowl for the second time. He had one

1:06:55.880 --> 1:06:59.640
<v Speaker 1>turnover the whole playoff run. He stepped up in the

1:06:59.680 --> 1:07:04.080
<v Speaker 1>biggest moments. He's earned that flatly. He's just earned that,

1:07:06.280 --> 1:07:11.760
<v Speaker 1>so there's the answer. This episode of What's Right is

1:08:27.120 --> 1:08:32.000
<v Speaker 1>We're gonna have to save the halftime show thoughts for

1:08:32.120 --> 1:08:36.800
<v Speaker 1>a time when I've watched it because I was nervously

1:08:36.880 --> 1:08:40.040
<v Speaker 1>circling the block. Have not watched it, and I'll be honest,

1:08:40.360 --> 1:08:43.040
<v Speaker 1>I may never see it. I don't know if I'll

1:08:43.080 --> 1:08:45.400
<v Speaker 1>be able to like again. And I like Kendrick, but

1:08:45.439 --> 1:08:49.720
<v Speaker 1>I don't know, yeah, exactly. We're gonna also have to

1:08:49.760 --> 1:08:53.240
<v Speaker 1>save the story I tweeted about about your mom on

1:08:53.280 --> 1:08:56.920
<v Speaker 1>the plane for later, because we've gone an hour twenty

1:08:57.320 --> 1:08:59.920
<v Speaker 1>almost and I do want to talk about Lucas de

1:09:00.439 --> 1:09:02.320
<v Speaker 1>last night, so go ahead and set it up.

1:09:03.080 --> 1:09:05.200
<v Speaker 2>So he played for about twenty three minutes last night,

1:09:05.720 --> 1:09:08.800
<v Speaker 2>fifteen to five and four. He's won for seven from

1:09:09.200 --> 1:09:11.599
<v Speaker 2>from three. But the chemistry out there is looking good.

1:09:11.640 --> 1:09:16.160
<v Speaker 2>Looks like they play together. Well yep, yeah, So obviously

1:09:16.320 --> 1:09:18.320
<v Speaker 2>La made the seventy seven shirts to give away to

1:09:18.320 --> 1:09:19.240
<v Speaker 2>the fans of the arena.

1:09:19.479 --> 1:09:21.040
<v Speaker 3>Everybody's very exceptive.

1:09:22.160 --> 1:09:27.800
<v Speaker 1>And Lebron text Luca during the day and said, we're

1:09:27.800 --> 1:09:31.759
<v Speaker 1>going to introduce you last today. Now, Luca made it clear,

1:09:31.960 --> 1:09:36.439
<v Speaker 1>because like that's a big thing. Now, Luca made it, Yeah,

1:09:36.479 --> 1:09:39.519
<v Speaker 1>the final introduction, that's the you know, the star of

1:09:39.560 --> 1:09:43.840
<v Speaker 1>the team or whatever. Luca then made it clear after

1:09:43.880 --> 1:09:46.280
<v Speaker 1>the game that that was a one time thing and

1:09:46.320 --> 1:09:51.240
<v Speaker 1>it's going to go back to Lebron being introduced last

1:09:51.320 --> 1:09:54.080
<v Speaker 1>and so. And Luca is obviously the best player on

1:09:54.120 --> 1:09:58.040
<v Speaker 1>the team, but Lebron's Lebron, so he's gonna be he's

1:09:58.240 --> 1:10:07.200
<v Speaker 1>introduced last. That's fine, man. I know intellectually that the Lakers'

1:10:09.240 --> 1:10:13.080
<v Speaker 1>lack of rim protection because the Mark Williams trade got vetoed,

1:10:14.560 --> 1:10:21.160
<v Speaker 1>should recap them. I know that from just a history

1:10:21.160 --> 1:10:31.840
<v Speaker 1>of watching basketball. But I also know this, we have

1:10:32.200 --> 1:10:43.440
<v Speaker 1>never in NBA history had two players with the combined

1:10:43.680 --> 1:10:52.160
<v Speaker 1>IQ and combined passing ability of Luca and Lebron James

1:10:52.200 --> 1:10:57.680
<v Speaker 1>on the same team. And you saw just glimpses of

1:10:57.720 --> 1:11:02.000
<v Speaker 1>it last night. But what that will mean for the

1:11:02.080 --> 1:11:09.479
<v Speaker 1>Lakers offense, I think people are actually underestimating. I think

1:11:09.520 --> 1:11:12.800
<v Speaker 1>this can be a top three offense in basketball, and

1:11:12.880 --> 1:11:18.080
<v Speaker 1>a top three offense you're a contender. If you have

1:11:18.120 --> 1:11:21.599
<v Speaker 1>a top three offense, you still probably have to find

1:11:21.600 --> 1:11:24.400
<v Speaker 1>a way to have a top fifteen defense, but you

1:11:24.439 --> 1:11:28.320
<v Speaker 1>don't need a top three defense to be a contender

1:11:28.360 --> 1:11:31.639
<v Speaker 1>if you have that offense. And what you also saw

1:11:31.760 --> 1:11:36.559
<v Speaker 1>last night, Demons, what you have seen since the trade

1:11:36.640 --> 1:11:43.679
<v Speaker 1>was made is a truly invigorated Lebron James, who last

1:11:43.760 --> 1:11:50.120
<v Speaker 1>night on both ends of the court offense and defense,

1:11:50.960 --> 1:11:56.120
<v Speaker 1>was dialed in in a way that he's not going

1:11:56.160 --> 1:11:59.200
<v Speaker 1>to be able to be dialed in every single night,

1:11:59.640 --> 1:12:03.000
<v Speaker 1>but because of Luca, he's not going to need to

1:12:03.040 --> 1:12:05.240
<v Speaker 1>be so from defense.

1:12:05.360 --> 1:12:07.200
<v Speaker 3>More effort on defense from Luca.

1:12:07.040 --> 1:12:12.240
<v Speaker 1>To sure, But honestly, I don't care as much about that.

1:12:13.120 --> 1:12:19.840
<v Speaker 1>I don't like I want Ideally Luca takes such an

1:12:20.040 --> 1:12:24.479
<v Speaker 1>offensive burden off Lebron that he can then because even

1:12:24.479 --> 1:12:30.680
<v Speaker 1>at age forty, Lebron is if if that's where he's

1:12:30.720 --> 1:12:35.360
<v Speaker 1>expending his energy, is a better defender than Luca. And

1:12:36.000 --> 1:12:41.519
<v Speaker 1>since we have got wind of this trade, what we

1:12:41.600 --> 1:12:46.640
<v Speaker 1>have gotten from Lebron in four games and four victories

1:12:47.479 --> 1:12:56.880
<v Speaker 1>is thirty one, eleven and nine on fifty seven fifty splits. Again,

1:12:57.400 --> 1:13:00.960
<v Speaker 1>is he going to keep that up? No? But his

1:13:01.200 --> 1:13:05.519
<v Speaker 1>season as is right now is one of the most

1:13:05.600 --> 1:13:08.600
<v Speaker 1>remarkable things I've seen in the last decade in the

1:13:08.720 --> 1:13:16.360
<v Speaker 1>NBA Lebron at age forty in year twenty two on

1:13:16.400 --> 1:13:21.640
<v Speaker 1>a team that's winning without a co star for the

1:13:21.720 --> 1:13:24.360
<v Speaker 1>last couple of weeks because Ad was out and Luca

1:13:24.520 --> 1:13:29.240
<v Speaker 1>just got there. That is right now essentially tied for

1:13:29.479 --> 1:13:34.679
<v Speaker 1>third in the West, him giving you twenty four, eight

1:13:34.920 --> 1:13:41.120
<v Speaker 1>and nine on fifty two thirty nine splits. And now

1:13:41.240 --> 1:13:50.040
<v Speaker 1>you add Luca, who is going to rip the league's

1:13:50.439 --> 1:13:59.360
<v Speaker 1>eyes out with anger. That's a tough team, man, and

1:13:59.400 --> 1:14:02.720
<v Speaker 1>you I thought it was really important last night that

1:14:02.960 --> 1:14:08.759
<v Speaker 1>Dirk showed up. Dirk showing up for that game means

1:14:09.520 --> 1:14:17.519
<v Speaker 1>even the greatest mav in franchise history doesn't buy this

1:14:17.680 --> 1:14:22.280
<v Speaker 1>idea that behind the scenes Luca was some train wreck

1:14:23.400 --> 1:14:30.599
<v Speaker 1>and that he's got his back. Lebron saying to Luca,

1:14:32.479 --> 1:14:37.200
<v Speaker 1>f fitting in, fit out, Luca, do your thing, has

1:14:37.320 --> 1:14:44.360
<v Speaker 1>to be the coolest thing imaginable. He might be like

1:14:44.439 --> 1:14:46.880
<v Speaker 1>guys Nick, he's a five time first small NBA guy.

1:14:46.920 --> 1:14:49.240
<v Speaker 1>He's been discussed from the best player in the league.

1:14:49.720 --> 1:14:52.760
<v Speaker 1>All that in Luca, all that's true, doesn't change the

1:14:52.800 --> 1:14:57.120
<v Speaker 1>fact Lebron was his basketball idol, the guy he he

1:14:57.400 --> 1:15:01.280
<v Speaker 1>mirrored his game off of and Lebron is saying to Luca,

1:15:01.760 --> 1:15:05.800
<v Speaker 1>hey man, you got the car keys bro And again

1:15:05.960 --> 1:15:08.080
<v Speaker 1>last night he didn't play out that way because he

1:15:08.160 --> 1:15:10.800
<v Speaker 1>was on a minute's restriction. It was a blowout. He

1:15:10.800 --> 1:15:14.479
<v Speaker 1>didn't play in the fourth quarter. Luca is going to

1:15:14.520 --> 1:15:21.200
<v Speaker 1>be so sensational and so motivated, and it is going

1:15:21.280 --> 1:15:27.200
<v Speaker 1>to take such a burden off of Lebron that you

1:15:27.280 --> 1:15:31.880
<v Speaker 1>all of a sudden look at the Western Conference standings

1:15:33.160 --> 1:15:39.440
<v Speaker 1>and you say, well, if you could just somehow freeze

1:15:39.560 --> 1:15:44.320
<v Speaker 1>them right now, I think the Lakers would take it.

1:15:46.000 --> 1:15:51.759
<v Speaker 1>Denver the three, Lakers the four, so that you would

1:15:52.120 --> 1:15:54.639
<v Speaker 1>be on the opposite side of the bracket is Denver

1:15:55.960 --> 1:15:59.439
<v Speaker 1>and you get Houston in round one. Sign me up.

1:16:00.920 --> 1:16:03.240
<v Speaker 1>And I know that would then mean I guess the

1:16:03.479 --> 1:16:08.920
<v Speaker 1>absolute best thing imaginable would be Lakers catching Denver and

1:16:09.000 --> 1:16:13.280
<v Speaker 1>being the three and being on the opposite side of

1:16:13.320 --> 1:16:16.760
<v Speaker 1>the bracket of Okac and Denver. That should be the

1:16:16.840 --> 1:16:22.880
<v Speaker 1>goal now that I'm actually talking this through. The perfect

1:16:23.240 --> 1:16:27.639
<v Speaker 1>runout for the Lakers in theory would be because oka

1:16:27.760 --> 1:16:32.040
<v Speaker 1>See is the one and it's locked that somehow they

1:16:32.160 --> 1:16:37.679
<v Speaker 1>catch Denver and Denver falls to the four and Denver

1:16:37.720 --> 1:16:42.600
<v Speaker 1>and oka See play each other. Now, Lucas had a

1:16:42.600 --> 1:16:45.360
<v Speaker 1>great history against ok See with his okay See team

1:16:45.439 --> 1:16:50.000
<v Speaker 1>is great. But you cannot dismiss the Lakers' chances of

1:16:50.000 --> 1:16:54.160
<v Speaker 1>coming out of the Western Conference because right now what

1:16:54.400 --> 1:16:59.840
<v Speaker 1>they have is a top three player in Luca. And

1:17:00.040 --> 1:17:05.280
<v Speaker 1>where is Lebron right now? The way he's playing, Remove

1:17:05.400 --> 1:17:09.639
<v Speaker 1>from your head that he is in year twenty two

1:17:09.640 --> 1:17:13.559
<v Speaker 1>and age forty, with how he is playing. Who are

1:17:13.600 --> 1:17:20.919
<v Speaker 1>the guys in the league that are definitively better than him? Joker, Yannis,

1:17:21.960 --> 1:17:33.280
<v Speaker 1>Luca Shay Indeed, come on, no, I mean Embeid doesn't play.

1:17:35.920 --> 1:17:39.040
<v Speaker 1>I was I'm gonna give it. I'm gonna say, I'm

1:17:39.040 --> 1:17:41.920
<v Speaker 1>just gonna include this in the definitively better than him.

1:17:42.000 --> 1:17:46.720
<v Speaker 2>Tatum, Oh yeah, I was gonna say, Tatum.

1:17:45.479 --> 1:17:49.960
<v Speaker 1>I'm the Is there anyone on the Grizzlies?

1:17:50.160 --> 1:17:50.400
<v Speaker 3>No?

1:17:51.320 --> 1:17:52.960
<v Speaker 1>Is there anyone on the Rockets?

1:17:53.680 --> 1:17:53.840
<v Speaker 3>No?

1:17:57.200 --> 1:18:04.200
<v Speaker 1>I don't. Anthony Edwards. Sure give it to him, Anthony Edwards. Yes,

1:18:04.560 --> 1:18:07.600
<v Speaker 1>all right, So now we're at six. I just the

1:18:08.320 --> 1:18:09.920
<v Speaker 1>way my brain works, I just need to like go

1:18:10.040 --> 1:18:16.520
<v Speaker 1>team by team. But Wimby because he's the best defensive

1:18:16.520 --> 1:18:20.639
<v Speaker 1>player in the sport. Okay, Wimby. Yes, we're at seven.

1:18:23.320 --> 1:18:28.840
<v Speaker 1>I think I think that's the list. I don't think

1:18:28.880 --> 1:18:33.200
<v Speaker 1>Donovan right now is better than Lebron. I don't think

1:18:33.280 --> 1:18:38.680
<v Speaker 1>Jalen Brunson right now is better than Lebron. And the

1:18:38.840 --> 1:18:44.479
<v Speaker 1>other old guys Durant and Steph are not better than

1:18:44.520 --> 1:18:48.760
<v Speaker 1>Lebron right now. So if you're the Lakers and you

1:18:48.800 --> 1:18:54.400
<v Speaker 1>have a top three guy and a conservatively top ten guy,

1:18:54.840 --> 1:18:57.280
<v Speaker 1>maybe the eighth best guy in the league this year,

1:19:00.040 --> 1:19:02.759
<v Speaker 1>Anthony Davis would have had a claim too, but he's hurt. Again,

1:19:04.600 --> 1:19:10.080
<v Speaker 1>that's a dangerous team man. And Lebron's ability to now

1:19:10.200 --> 1:19:18.040
<v Speaker 1>pace himself to take games off, which again, he's played

1:19:18.160 --> 1:19:21.120
<v Speaker 1>forty seven games this year, So what does that mean.

1:19:21.160 --> 1:19:26.080
<v Speaker 1>He's missed four what the Lakers. He's played forty seven.

1:19:26.720 --> 1:19:29.080
<v Speaker 1>The Lakers have played fifty one. He he's missed four.

1:19:29.960 --> 1:19:32.759
<v Speaker 1>And it also means, by the way, le Bron's gonna

1:19:32.760 --> 1:19:36.840
<v Speaker 1>catch another All NBA team because if it even was borderline,

1:19:37.200 --> 1:19:40.000
<v Speaker 1>all these other guys are gonna be ineligible. Ad Now

1:19:40.080 --> 1:19:42.120
<v Speaker 1>is gonna be ineligible because he's not gonna play sixty

1:19:42.160 --> 1:19:45.639
<v Speaker 1>five games. Lucas ineligible. He is not playing sixty five games.

1:19:45.880 --> 1:19:50.360
<v Speaker 1>They're like Kawhi's I think he's gonna BEA's not playing

1:19:50.360 --> 1:19:52.360
<v Speaker 1>well enough anyway, He's playing fine, but he's gonna be

1:19:52.400 --> 1:19:58.880
<v Speaker 1>ineligible like uh, obvious, obviously Imbiid's not gonna be eligible

1:19:58.960 --> 1:20:08.200
<v Speaker 1>like those guys aren't playing. And so I I never

1:20:08.400 --> 1:20:14.360
<v Speaker 1>thought this Lakers team was going to be fascinating from

1:20:14.360 --> 1:20:21.240
<v Speaker 1>a championship standpoint, But now they have Luka Ancic. And

1:20:21.280 --> 1:20:27.439
<v Speaker 1>if Luca can take Kyrie and role players to the finals,

1:20:28.680 --> 1:20:31.880
<v Speaker 1>what about when it's Lebron and role players? Now again,

1:20:32.439 --> 1:20:36.400
<v Speaker 1>those MAVs role players, they had multiple centers. There's a

1:20:36.439 --> 1:20:38.840
<v Speaker 1>reason the Lakers trade for Mark Williams. I get all that,

1:20:40.240 --> 1:20:46.040
<v Speaker 1>but look out, and there are some games I'm circling personally.

1:20:48.240 --> 1:20:51.200
<v Speaker 3>Does a Lakers chip makeup for what just happened on Sunday?

1:20:51.400 --> 1:20:51.960
<v Speaker 3>A little bit?

1:20:52.040 --> 1:20:55.280
<v Speaker 1>Maybe fifty Nothing could make up for what happened on Sunday,

1:20:55.320 --> 1:21:00.360
<v Speaker 1>but it is it would salve the wound a bit. Okay,

1:21:01.680 --> 1:21:07.320
<v Speaker 1>Lakers next three demands A yeah, Utah, Charlotte Portland. Now

1:21:07.360 --> 1:21:10.720
<v Speaker 1>Portland's playing better, but you're gonna be able to get on,

1:21:11.439 --> 1:21:14.320
<v Speaker 1>you know, And they've they've already won six in a row.

1:21:15.080 --> 1:21:22.040
<v Speaker 1>They should get to that national TV game against Denver

1:21:22.840 --> 1:21:28.679
<v Speaker 1>on a nine game winning streak, and then at Denver

1:21:28.880 --> 1:21:34.400
<v Speaker 1>on ABC a week from Saturday, and home for Dallas

1:21:35.920 --> 1:21:42.760
<v Speaker 1>on TNT two weeks from today. Oh man, A tough

1:21:42.760 --> 1:21:47.960
<v Speaker 1>stretch Denver, Dallas, Minnesota, Clippers, Clippers, New Orleans, not tough

1:21:48.360 --> 1:21:52.320
<v Speaker 1>New York, Boston, you know. So like they've got some

1:21:52.400 --> 1:21:55.519
<v Speaker 1>tough stretches. And at the end of the year when

1:21:55.520 --> 1:21:59.200
<v Speaker 1>they're gonna be fighting for seating because of the wildfires,

1:21:59.240 --> 1:22:04.920
<v Speaker 1>they moved some games. They have a five game in

1:22:05.240 --> 1:22:11.800
<v Speaker 1>seven night stretch that he's home for the Warriors, home

1:22:11.840 --> 1:22:16.720
<v Speaker 1>for New Orleans on a back to back, then at OKAC,

1:22:17.680 --> 1:22:22.360
<v Speaker 1>then at Okay se again, and then Luca's return to

1:22:22.479 --> 1:22:26.120
<v Speaker 1>Dallas on a back to back. So that that five

1:22:26.200 --> 1:22:32.800
<v Speaker 1>game stretch you're working, Yeah, absolutely is brutal. But that's

1:22:32.880 --> 1:22:36.400
<v Speaker 1>you know, that's right before the postseason, all right, ninety minute.

1:22:36.160 --> 1:22:39.080
<v Speaker 3>Show ze for the.

1:22:39.800 --> 1:22:42.120
<v Speaker 1>Uh yeah, everybody seemed to know that was going to happen.

1:22:42.360 --> 1:22:44.200
<v Speaker 1>Thank you for the breaking news on it, but I

1:22:44.760 --> 1:22:47.000
<v Speaker 1>I didn't mean to dismiss it. My point is the

1:22:47.080 --> 1:22:50.479
<v Speaker 1>Saints being one of the first teams to fire their

1:22:50.520 --> 1:22:55.280
<v Speaker 1>coach and then not not hiring a coach didn't make sense,

1:22:55.720 --> 1:22:57.800
<v Speaker 1>so they were just waiting on that, all right. Thank

1:22:57.840 --> 1:23:00.680
<v Speaker 1>you to DraftKings, thank you to the Volume, thank you

1:23:00.680 --> 1:23:02.880
<v Speaker 1>to people Blue Duck. Thank you to you to Monsday.

1:23:02.960 --> 1:23:04.840
<v Speaker 1>See you guys on Thursday, see you on. I'll be

1:23:04.920 --> 1:23:07.080
<v Speaker 1>on with Colin in an hour. Oh jeez, it's new

1:23:07.080 --> 1:23:09.000

1:23:09.479 --> 1:23:11.639
