1 00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:02,480 Speaker 1: Welcome to the Best of the Week for What's Right 2 00:00:02,560 --> 00:00:05,200 Speaker 1: with Nick Right the best takes in moments from this 3 00:00:05,280 --> 00:00:06,400 Speaker 1: week on the show. 4 00:00:06,680 --> 00:00:11,680 Speaker 2: Enjoy the season from Hell becomes more hilatious. You guys 5 00:00:11,680 --> 00:00:14,880 Speaker 2: lost Patrick, You guys lost your backup quarterback in Garda Minshew, 6 00:00:14,920 --> 00:00:17,480 Speaker 2: and you lost the Titans. And it seems like Kansas 7 00:00:17,480 --> 00:00:19,440 Speaker 2: City Chiefs are no longer going to be in Kansas City. 8 00:00:19,680 --> 00:00:21,960 Speaker 2: They might be moving over to Kansas in twenty thirty. 9 00:00:22,440 --> 00:00:23,960 Speaker 2: How do you feel about this development? 10 00:00:24,560 --> 00:00:26,600 Speaker 1: All right, first, let me explain to people what it means. 11 00:00:27,800 --> 00:00:32,479 Speaker 1: Kansas City Kansas City for all intents and purposes. When 12 00:00:32,479 --> 00:00:35,520 Speaker 1: people hear about Kansas City, they're talking about the Missouri side. 13 00:00:35,560 --> 00:00:38,120 Speaker 1: It is where I'm from, so weird kind of border 14 00:00:38,240 --> 00:00:42,960 Speaker 1: rivalry Missouri or Kansas. But I grew up one block 15 00:00:43,159 --> 00:00:47,239 Speaker 1: off State Line Road. That is exactly what it sounds like, 16 00:00:47,520 --> 00:00:53,279 Speaker 1: the line between Missouri and Kansas. Now, confusingly and oddly, 17 00:00:54,920 --> 00:00:58,440 Speaker 1: the Missouri side of State Line Road is Kansas City. 18 00:00:58,720 --> 00:01:02,480 Speaker 1: The Kansas side of State Line Road is not Kansas City, Kansas. 19 00:01:02,720 --> 00:01:05,840 Speaker 1: That's a different part. Like there is a small part 20 00:01:05,880 --> 00:01:09,000 Speaker 1: of Kansasity, Kansas that's touches State Line Road, but most 21 00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:10,840 Speaker 1: of it that touches State Line Road is like uh 22 00:01:10,959 --> 00:01:16,840 Speaker 1: Leewood or Oleitha or different municipalities. Okay, you guys don't 23 00:01:16,880 --> 00:01:21,760 Speaker 1: care about that, what you What does matter is this 24 00:01:22,120 --> 00:01:26,839 Speaker 1: the Chiefs are moving about twenty minutes west of where 25 00:01:26,959 --> 00:01:32,160 Speaker 1: they currently play. So this has no impact on them 26 00:01:32,240 --> 00:01:35,520 Speaker 1: being the Kansas City Chiefs because they were in Kansas 27 00:01:35,560 --> 00:01:38,120 Speaker 1: City proper. Yes, but they are still in the greater 28 00:01:38,240 --> 00:01:41,320 Speaker 1: Kansas City area. Just like the San Francisco forty nine 29 00:01:41,400 --> 00:01:44,520 Speaker 1: Ers play in Santa Clara. The New England Patriots, which 30 00:01:44,560 --> 00:01:48,440 Speaker 1: people consider Boston's team, play in Foxborough. Like this is 31 00:01:48,920 --> 00:01:51,920 Speaker 1: the Detroit Pistons used to play at the Palace at 32 00:01:51,960 --> 00:01:56,160 Speaker 1: Auburn Hills. This happens. This is not a team moving 33 00:01:56,640 --> 00:02:00,760 Speaker 1: the way teams move, like Baltimore going to Cleveland, that 34 00:02:00,840 --> 00:02:03,560 Speaker 1: type of the Cleveland going to Baltimore. Either, That's not 35 00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:06,840 Speaker 1: what this is at all. Now it does for me 36 00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:09,240 Speaker 1: as a native Missouri and someone who's lived lived his 37 00:02:09,320 --> 00:02:12,400 Speaker 1: whole life might have its Kansas Missouri firefighter. I lived 38 00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:16,000 Speaker 1: in on the Missouri side and whenever people say to me, oh, 39 00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:20,320 Speaker 1: you're from Kansas, I correct them say no, I'm from Missouri. 40 00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:27,280 Speaker 1: I hate that the Chiefs are leaving. I don't hate 41 00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:35,840 Speaker 1: that Missouri was not held hostage by pro sports owners. 42 00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:39,600 Speaker 1: And this is where we get into a little bit 43 00:02:39,600 --> 00:02:41,760 Speaker 1: of tricky stuff. And then we will talk about the 44 00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:44,519 Speaker 1: football piece of it, because there is a real football 45 00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:51,240 Speaker 1: piece of it. But this is so teams because the 46 00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:55,280 Speaker 1: state of Kansas, via star bonds and other stuff, is 47 00:02:55,320 --> 00:02:59,399 Speaker 1: going to pay more money for this Chief stadium than 48 00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:04,359 Speaker 1: any local government, which means taxpayers have paid for any 49 00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:09,040 Speaker 1: stadium in the history of America one point eight billion dollars. 50 00:03:10,680 --> 00:03:17,760 Speaker 1: And I have always believed that the call it fifteen 51 00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:24,280 Speaker 1: biggest cities in the country, all of the mayors slash 52 00:03:24,440 --> 00:03:29,080 Speaker 1: governors of those states should have gotten together a long 53 00:03:29,160 --> 00:03:33,880 Speaker 1: time ago and said, folks, we need to have an 54 00:03:33,919 --> 00:03:39,880 Speaker 1: agreement amongst ourselves. We are not going to pay for 55 00:03:40,040 --> 00:03:44,960 Speaker 1: pro sports team stadiums because they want to be in 56 00:03:45,040 --> 00:03:51,839 Speaker 1: our cities. So New York, LA, Dallas, Houston, Chicago, San Francisco, 57 00:03:52,160 --> 00:03:56,200 Speaker 1: that your major markets pro sports teams want to be there. 58 00:03:57,360 --> 00:04:00,480 Speaker 1: The idea that they are going to leave is a bluff. 59 00:04:01,840 --> 00:04:04,880 Speaker 1: If you are a major, major market, so you should 60 00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:09,720 Speaker 1: never pay. Never pay. If you're in one of those markets. 61 00:04:10,880 --> 00:04:14,960 Speaker 1: If you're in a smaller market, it does get trickier 62 00:04:15,720 --> 00:04:22,480 Speaker 1: because we have seen teams leave smaller markets. And one 63 00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:25,839 Speaker 1: can argue, and I have argued for a long time 64 00:04:25,880 --> 00:04:33,160 Speaker 1: to use my hometown as a example, that the thing 65 00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:39,680 Speaker 1: that distinct that makes Kansas City different from Des Moines, Iowa, 66 00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:42,760 Speaker 1: or Omaha, Nebraska is that we have the chiefs and 67 00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:47,359 Speaker 1: the royals. That's it. We're a two sport pro sport 68 00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:54,080 Speaker 1: city and there is real economic and civic pride benefit 69 00:04:54,160 --> 00:04:57,440 Speaker 1: to that. And Kansas City is not a huge market, 70 00:04:58,040 --> 00:05:03,960 Speaker 1: so you you can't just dare a team to leave 71 00:05:04,040 --> 00:05:08,360 Speaker 1: the way LA could or New York could or Washington, 72 00:05:08,480 --> 00:05:14,120 Speaker 1: DC could, because they might leave. The Kansas City has 73 00:05:14,160 --> 00:05:18,119 Speaker 1: lost teams before, and so I don't think it. While 74 00:05:18,560 --> 00:05:21,800 Speaker 1: I understand the argument of there are better things to 75 00:05:21,839 --> 00:05:26,200 Speaker 1: be putting paying taxpayer dollars for that is correct, I 76 00:05:26,240 --> 00:05:32,200 Speaker 1: agree with that in general. I also understand why if 77 00:05:32,240 --> 00:05:39,200 Speaker 1: you're Memphis, losing the Grizzlies as scary as shit, and 78 00:05:39,480 --> 00:05:43,719 Speaker 1: it might be worth taxpayer dollars to make sure they stay. 79 00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:49,159 Speaker 1: And so I think the math is not the same 80 00:05:49,320 --> 00:05:52,480 Speaker 1: for mid market and small market teams as it is 81 00:05:53,200 --> 00:05:56,320 Speaker 1: for major market teams. That's just my opinion. I think 82 00:05:56,360 --> 00:05:58,279 Speaker 1: I have data to back that up, but it's my 83 00:05:58,400 --> 00:06:00,960 Speaker 1: gut feeling on how having grown up in one of 84 00:06:00,960 --> 00:06:05,800 Speaker 1: those places and feeling like I'm from somewhere, and because 85 00:06:05,920 --> 00:06:11,440 Speaker 1: we have pro sports teams and so this doesn't change 86 00:06:11,440 --> 00:06:14,400 Speaker 1: that for Kansas Citians, they will still be the Kansasity Chiefs. 87 00:06:14,640 --> 00:06:21,120 Speaker 1: Nobody half the country thought they played in Kansas already anyway, 88 00:06:21,160 --> 00:06:27,120 Speaker 1: And I don't think I understand the gut reaction people have, 89 00:06:27,400 --> 00:06:30,400 Speaker 1: and I'm with you politically on this, that it is 90 00:06:31,640 --> 00:06:37,280 Speaker 1: shameful the public subsidies we will give billion dollar sports 91 00:06:37,320 --> 00:06:42,120 Speaker 1: teams when I mean the city the state of Kansas 92 00:06:42,200 --> 00:06:47,960 Speaker 1: has no public transportation none. Don't get mad at me, 93 00:06:48,040 --> 00:06:51,080 Speaker 1: Governor Laura Kelly, Like, I'm sure there's a few bus routes, 94 00:06:51,320 --> 00:06:55,680 Speaker 1: but like there are there's there are things that money 95 00:06:55,680 --> 00:06:59,000 Speaker 1: could be used for that probably would help a greater 96 00:06:59,200 --> 00:07:02,760 Speaker 1: group of people. I get that, But I also do 97 00:07:02,839 --> 00:07:08,280 Speaker 1: think that if you're in a city the size of 98 00:07:08,400 --> 00:07:12,080 Speaker 1: one that a team might leave, losing that team can 99 00:07:12,120 --> 00:07:15,040 Speaker 1: be devastating to the community. So I do think you 100 00:07:15,080 --> 00:07:20,320 Speaker 1: have to weigh that the the problem for the cheap 101 00:07:20,480 --> 00:07:25,320 Speaker 1: for that the Chiefs were able to play into specifically 102 00:07:25,480 --> 00:07:31,040 Speaker 1: is because they're on a state line. They could play 103 00:07:31,160 --> 00:07:35,480 Speaker 1: one state against the other and get basically demanse the 104 00:07:35,680 --> 00:07:40,960 Speaker 1: benefit that you normally only get this type of I mean, 105 00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:43,600 Speaker 1: one point eight billion, it's the biggest public subsidy ever. 106 00:07:43,880 --> 00:07:48,600 Speaker 1: You normally only get that something like that if you 107 00:07:48,680 --> 00:07:52,640 Speaker 1: are threatening your fan base with we are moving like 108 00:07:52,720 --> 00:07:56,200 Speaker 1: we are going to the Seattle SuperSonics are going to 109 00:07:56,200 --> 00:08:00,760 Speaker 1: become the Oklahoma City Thunder. Because Kansas City that is 110 00:08:00,800 --> 00:08:03,440 Speaker 1: on a state line, they were able to get the 111 00:08:03,480 --> 00:08:07,800 Speaker 1: benefit without ever having to threaten. They were never threatening 112 00:08:07,840 --> 00:08:11,840 Speaker 1: to move to San Antonio. It's just like we'll just. 113 00:08:13,960 --> 00:08:15,440 Speaker 2: Whoever is going to the game. 114 00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:19,640 Speaker 1: Right, You still get to play the states against each other. 115 00:08:19,960 --> 00:08:23,920 Speaker 1: And this has been a problem for border cities. This 116 00:08:24,120 --> 00:08:29,280 Speaker 1: is a bigger problem when it comes to business taxes 117 00:08:29,440 --> 00:08:32,400 Speaker 1: and municipal funding. And again, this is the part that 118 00:08:32,440 --> 00:08:34,760 Speaker 1: could be boring, but I'm going to give a very 119 00:08:34,800 --> 00:08:39,040 Speaker 1: simplistic story of what's happened in my hometown. Because it's 120 00:08:39,040 --> 00:08:44,360 Speaker 1: on a state line, you'll have a business, not a 121 00:08:44,400 --> 00:08:49,920 Speaker 1: sports team, a business that is based in Kansas, and 122 00:08:49,960 --> 00:08:53,679 Speaker 1: then politicians in Missouri because they want to say, we 123 00:08:53,880 --> 00:08:59,520 Speaker 1: added jobs to our community, will give that business insane 124 00:08:59,640 --> 00:09:05,480 Speaker 1: tax breaks to move its headquarters fifteen minutes east over 125 00:09:05,520 --> 00:09:10,920 Speaker 1: to Missouri, and that business can then not pay the 126 00:09:10,960 --> 00:09:14,360 Speaker 1: taxes it was once paying. It has no impact whatsoever 127 00:09:14,640 --> 00:09:18,480 Speaker 1: actually on who has the jobs. You're not adding jobs 128 00:09:18,480 --> 00:09:21,160 Speaker 1: to your community. You're just stealing them off the books 129 00:09:21,160 --> 00:09:23,800 Speaker 1: of Kansas to Adam and Missouri, or Missouri to Adam 130 00:09:23,800 --> 00:09:26,640 Speaker 1: and Kansas, vice versa. But it's the same human beings 131 00:09:26,720 --> 00:09:31,560 Speaker 1: working there, and that has, you know, been That's a 132 00:09:31,720 --> 00:09:36,840 Speaker 1: problem for mayors and city councils of border cities all 133 00:09:36,880 --> 00:09:39,960 Speaker 1: the time, like how do we because it ends up 134 00:09:39,960 --> 00:09:43,240 Speaker 1: being a not a zero sum game again, a zero 135 00:09:43,360 --> 00:09:47,120 Speaker 1: sum for the overall community, but a huge win for 136 00:09:47,160 --> 00:09:51,400 Speaker 1: the a zero sum for the employment of the overall community, 137 00:09:51,640 --> 00:09:54,920 Speaker 1: while being a huge win for the bottom line of corporations. 138 00:09:55,200 --> 00:09:58,080 Speaker 1: That's a sidebar. Now to the football piece of it, 139 00:09:58,679 --> 00:10:02,360 Speaker 1: because here is the te angible effect. The Chiefs are 140 00:10:02,400 --> 00:10:04,480 Speaker 1: going to play in a dome stadium starting in twenty 141 00:10:04,520 --> 00:10:05,000 Speaker 1: thirty one. 142 00:10:05,559 --> 00:10:09,280 Speaker 2: Hey, that's awesome. I don't know how you feel about that. 143 00:10:09,120 --> 00:10:11,400 Speaker 2: That's awesome. I love the domes. 144 00:10:12,320 --> 00:10:12,959 Speaker 1: I hate it. 145 00:10:14,960 --> 00:10:21,160 Speaker 2: So the snow games, that real effect of the weather. Yeah, 146 00:10:21,960 --> 00:10:27,319 Speaker 2: I like that passion. I'm going to the man, so the. 147 00:10:27,280 --> 00:10:37,559 Speaker 1: Other homes here's the so very short term, very selfish. 148 00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:42,880 Speaker 1: I like the dome for Patrick's late thirties. 149 00:10:43,080 --> 00:10:44,880 Speaker 2: Oh and then the new guy is going to be 150 00:10:44,920 --> 00:10:46,320 Speaker 2: playing in the dome the whole time. 151 00:10:47,679 --> 00:10:54,240 Speaker 1: So if we are just talking about maximizing like Mahomes' career, 152 00:10:55,360 --> 00:10:59,960 Speaker 1: having the fact that his age thirty five in old, 153 00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:07,720 Speaker 1: old seasons will be in a dome is probably good. Yeah, Okay, 154 00:11:08,520 --> 00:11:17,080 Speaker 1: that's probably good. That to me is not worth the 155 00:11:17,240 --> 00:11:28,800 Speaker 1: trade off of football slowly but surely eliminating weather as 156 00:11:28,840 --> 00:11:35,680 Speaker 1: a component, Like I think we are moving towards a 157 00:11:36,080 --> 00:11:42,760 Speaker 1: reality of in a decade, there are maybe three or 158 00:11:42,880 --> 00:11:47,200 Speaker 1: four stadiums in the country where weather plays a part, 159 00:11:47,320 --> 00:11:50,320 Speaker 1: and I don't like that for football. I think football 160 00:11:50,360 --> 00:11:52,400 Speaker 1: is a game made to be played in the elements. 161 00:11:53,240 --> 00:12:01,040 Speaker 1: I don't mind domes in warm weather places because it 162 00:12:01,160 --> 00:12:06,760 Speaker 1: feels like that's actually like the elements aren't going to 163 00:12:06,800 --> 00:12:08,920 Speaker 1: be a big issue there anyway, and so it allows 164 00:12:08,920 --> 00:12:12,000 Speaker 1: you to host more events. Fine, And I don't mind 165 00:12:12,080 --> 00:12:16,719 Speaker 1: the Dome in Minnesota only because that specific place can 166 00:12:16,760 --> 00:12:18,600 Speaker 1: get so Maybe it's just because I'm used to it, 167 00:12:18,760 --> 00:12:21,240 Speaker 1: but it can get so much snow that they have 168 00:12:21,400 --> 00:12:25,600 Speaker 1: like canceled games. But I guess Buffalo. So it's probably 169 00:12:25,679 --> 00:12:28,160 Speaker 1: just because I'm used to it. But I don't like 170 00:12:29,720 --> 00:12:35,680 Speaker 1: football removing the elements and the idea that because they 171 00:12:35,720 --> 00:12:39,600 Speaker 1: build this stadium, Kansas City is going to get a 172 00:12:39,640 --> 00:12:44,640 Speaker 1: bunch of super Bowls. It's just not true. I think 173 00:12:44,720 --> 00:12:49,559 Speaker 1: they will probably get one, and people will complain about 174 00:12:49,559 --> 00:12:52,200 Speaker 1: the super Bowl being in Kansas City, and you know what, 175 00:12:52,960 --> 00:12:55,679 Speaker 1: they should because the super Bowl should not be in 176 00:12:55,760 --> 00:12:59,400 Speaker 1: Kansas City. The super Bowls shouldn't. I'm from there. I 177 00:12:59,440 --> 00:13:02,520 Speaker 1: love it. Super Bowl should not have ever been in Minneapolis, 178 00:13:02,640 --> 00:13:05,360 Speaker 1: it shouldn't have ever been in Indianapolis. It shouldn't be 179 00:13:05,360 --> 00:13:06,280 Speaker 1: in Kansas City. 180 00:13:06,520 --> 00:13:08,120 Speaker 2: The super Bowl sho, what does it need to be 181 00:13:08,120 --> 00:13:10,240 Speaker 2: in New Orleans? Or wait, what happened? 182 00:13:10,440 --> 00:13:16,800 Speaker 1: New Orleans? Miami, Vegas, LA? That's where the super Bowl elitist? Okay, 183 00:13:17,760 --> 00:13:22,760 Speaker 1: no cities, it's yeah, I guess. I mean New Orleans 184 00:13:22,840 --> 00:13:28,839 Speaker 1: isn't a big market. It's just awesome and the and 185 00:13:28,960 --> 00:13:33,440 Speaker 1: so I think we have seen cities that can do it, 186 00:13:33,440 --> 00:13:36,080 Speaker 1: and I'd be honestly Okay, with La not being included, 187 00:13:36,559 --> 00:13:38,760 Speaker 1: I'd be fine with it just being Vegas, Miami, New 188 00:13:38,840 --> 00:13:42,800 Speaker 1: Orleans like that, that being the rotation. You can make 189 00:13:42,840 --> 00:13:46,000 Speaker 1: the argument for Phoenix, but I just think they're not 190 00:13:46,559 --> 00:13:49,600 Speaker 1: the idea that Kansas City is because they're add this 191 00:13:50,120 --> 00:13:52,120 Speaker 1: is going to be a part of a Super Bowl rotation. 192 00:13:52,760 --> 00:13:53,640 Speaker 1: That's not gonna happen. 193 00:13:54,360 --> 00:13:54,440 Speaker 2: Now. 194 00:13:54,520 --> 00:13:57,480 Speaker 1: It's not gonna be every ten years the biggest sporting 195 00:13:57,520 --> 00:14:01,640 Speaker 1: event in the country, Headcore in wyan Dot County for 196 00:14:01,840 --> 00:14:06,720 Speaker 1: in February. It's just not happening. But the big my 197 00:14:06,800 --> 00:14:13,720 Speaker 1: biggest thing is on the field. I don't like I 198 00:14:13,960 --> 00:14:23,160 Speaker 1: like that weather matters, and I like that the Buffalo 199 00:14:23,440 --> 00:14:27,960 Speaker 1: in Kansas City and Baltimore and Pittsburgh and New England 200 00:14:29,480 --> 00:14:34,360 Speaker 1: have to be able to play in multiple settings. And 201 00:14:34,440 --> 00:14:37,560 Speaker 1: I just I so, yes, I think it'll be good 202 00:14:37,560 --> 00:14:40,200 Speaker 1: for Pat the end of you know, the last quarter 203 00:14:40,240 --> 00:14:44,440 Speaker 1: of Patrick's career. But it's to me a bit of 204 00:14:44,480 --> 00:14:48,760 Speaker 1: a bummer. And the other bummer is this, You're gonna 205 00:14:48,800 --> 00:14:52,080 Speaker 1: go from eighty thousand seats to about sixty eight thousand, 206 00:14:53,760 --> 00:14:58,120 Speaker 1: and I'm going to be very interested and I really 207 00:14:58,200 --> 00:15:00,760 Speaker 1: hope that they that they find to wait because I 208 00:15:00,760 --> 00:15:03,360 Speaker 1: think the tailgating will be great no matter what. One 209 00:15:03,400 --> 00:15:07,320 Speaker 1: thing Clark HNT said yesterday that's true is parking lots 210 00:15:07,360 --> 00:15:10,880 Speaker 1: don't tailgate people do. That's correct. I think the tailgating 211 00:15:11,280 --> 00:15:16,720 Speaker 1: pregame stuff. I trust they will make sure that stays sacrisanct, because, like, 212 00:15:16,800 --> 00:15:19,880 Speaker 1: if there's ever a reason to go to an NFL game, 213 00:15:20,400 --> 00:15:24,000 Speaker 1: going to Arrowhead to tailgate before the game is one 214 00:15:24,080 --> 00:15:26,640 Speaker 1: of the greatest things in the NFL. And I think 215 00:15:26,680 --> 00:15:31,000 Speaker 1: that will stay. But I wonder if they're going to 216 00:15:31,040 --> 00:15:33,560 Speaker 1: be able like and but the other thing Clark said 217 00:15:33,640 --> 00:15:37,600 Speaker 1: is seats and concrete don't make noise, fans do. That 218 00:15:37,760 --> 00:15:41,480 Speaker 1: is true, but certain stadiums are more conducive for noise 219 00:15:41,520 --> 00:15:46,000 Speaker 1: than others. And Arrowhead has been the loudest open air 220 00:15:46,080 --> 00:15:51,080 Speaker 1: stadium in the country forever. And I just hope they 221 00:15:51,080 --> 00:15:52,960 Speaker 1: are able to recreate. 222 00:15:52,400 --> 00:15:58,080 Speaker 2: That is is it going to have a new name, Well. 223 00:15:58,240 --> 00:16:01,160 Speaker 1: I would imagine they'll still call it Arrowhead. They've already 224 00:16:01,240 --> 00:16:06,280 Speaker 1: kind of sold on that because it's technically ge J 225 00:16:06,600 --> 00:16:16,400 Speaker 1: Field at Arrowhead. And I've never totally understood naming right sponsorships, 226 00:16:16,800 --> 00:16:19,920 Speaker 1: Like I don't know that anyone has paid more attention 227 00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:22,200 Speaker 1: to the Kansas City Chiefs. I really don't know that 228 00:16:22,280 --> 00:16:24,960 Speaker 1: anyone in the world has paid more attention to the 229 00:16:25,000 --> 00:16:30,640 Speaker 1: Kansity chiefs than me, certainly, uh since because the stadiums 230 00:16:30,640 --> 00:16:32,320 Speaker 1: don't even named that for like five years of the 231 00:16:32,360 --> 00:16:36,400 Speaker 1: field in that time. Prater and I still don't. But 232 00:16:36,480 --> 00:16:39,680 Speaker 1: I still don't know what GHA is. Yeah, if you 233 00:16:39,720 --> 00:16:42,680 Speaker 1: were like that, I have no idea. I have no 234 00:16:42,880 --> 00:16:46,360 Speaker 1: clue what the I don't know. Do they sell insurance? 235 00:16:46,880 --> 00:16:50,120 Speaker 1: Is it are they? I have no consult I don't 236 00:16:50,120 --> 00:16:54,160 Speaker 1: know what it is. So it's it's always arrowhead to me. 237 00:16:55,480 --> 00:17:02,440 Speaker 1: But that's the the positive and the negative. That's what 238 00:17:02,480 --> 00:17:05,600 Speaker 1: it is. Now, will Kn't City get a Final four? Maybe? 239 00:17:06,320 --> 00:17:09,960 Speaker 1: Like will they're like having a domed stadium? There is 240 00:17:10,119 --> 00:17:13,840 Speaker 1: there are benefits for it. 241 00:17:14,840 --> 00:17:17,520 Speaker 2: Eha is Government Employees Health Association. 242 00:17:18,560 --> 00:17:20,720 Speaker 1: Still don't know what it means. Does that mean they 243 00:17:20,760 --> 00:17:24,320 Speaker 1: they they? Does that mean they compete with the company 244 00:17:24,359 --> 00:17:31,800 Speaker 1: that Gronk advertises for So it is they're the competitors 245 00:17:31,800 --> 00:17:35,600 Speaker 1: of Gronk's company. What's that? What's the Gronk insurance company? 246 00:17:35,600 --> 00:17:39,879 Speaker 1: Where he's like, I wasn't in the military. Yeah, okay, 247 00:17:39,920 --> 00:17:43,280 Speaker 1: so g eh and USAA are competitors, all right, good 248 00:17:43,280 --> 00:17:44,600 Speaker 1: for them. 249 00:17:44,640 --> 00:17:46,840 Speaker 2: And do you think there's I'm sorry, just cut you off. 250 00:17:46,880 --> 00:17:48,280 Speaker 2: Do you think there's going to be any teams that 251 00:17:48,359 --> 00:17:51,040 Speaker 2: hold out on this open air stadium closed team? Like 252 00:17:51,119 --> 00:17:53,160 Speaker 2: could you see green Baby? And like the last team 253 00:17:53,200 --> 00:17:55,280 Speaker 2: with an open open stadium in thirty. 254 00:17:55,119 --> 00:17:59,960 Speaker 1: Years Buffalo's building a new stadium, and Buffalo's new stadium 255 00:18:00,400 --> 00:18:02,760 Speaker 1: doesn't have a roof, right, fact check me on that. 256 00:18:02,960 --> 00:18:05,240 Speaker 2: Okay, that's good for something then. 257 00:18:05,359 --> 00:18:21,240 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, and but and it's Buffalo, But I I 258 00:18:21,280 --> 00:18:24,280 Speaker 1: don't know. The Chiefs playing in a dome feels weird 259 00:18:24,320 --> 00:18:26,600 Speaker 1: to me. I'm sure I get used to it. And 260 00:18:26,400 --> 00:18:29,680 Speaker 1: if and if Old Mahomes is just lighting people up, 261 00:18:30,160 --> 00:18:31,400 Speaker 1: maybe I'll be fine with it. 262 00:18:33,040 --> 00:18:36,399 Speaker 2: But maybe because I'm not a savant and like a 263 00:18:36,400 --> 00:18:39,960 Speaker 2: football historian, I just don't see why you would want 264 00:18:40,080 --> 00:18:41,639 Speaker 2: like and this is like I hear a lot of 265 00:18:41,640 --> 00:18:43,840 Speaker 2: people that's their take. They want there to be snow, 266 00:18:44,119 --> 00:18:46,920 Speaker 2: the incluent weather. Why would you not just want them 267 00:18:46,960 --> 00:18:49,240 Speaker 2: to perform to their best ability like any other sport, 268 00:18:49,359 --> 00:18:50,320 Speaker 2: Like I feel like there's no. 269 00:18:52,560 --> 00:18:58,040 Speaker 1: Beau that's so that's where that's where I disagree with you. 270 00:18:58,040 --> 00:18:59,879 Speaker 1: Know what you're saying, a lot of people feel that 271 00:19:03,920 --> 00:19:06,440 Speaker 1: it just it just depends on how you look at it. 272 00:19:06,560 --> 00:19:11,000 Speaker 1: I look at being great at football intrinsically, meaning that 273 00:19:11,040 --> 00:19:16,359 Speaker 1: you can have different types of game plans and different 274 00:19:16,400 --> 00:19:20,800 Speaker 1: abilities in different weather because I think that is part 275 00:19:20,840 --> 00:19:23,560 Speaker 1: of building a team. I think part of building a 276 00:19:23,640 --> 00:19:27,920 Speaker 1: team is teaching them how to exploit different weather conditions. 277 00:19:28,280 --> 00:19:31,800 Speaker 1: I think that is as intrinsic to the game as 278 00:19:32,440 --> 00:19:35,960 Speaker 1: kick returning, Like that's part of it. And I think 279 00:19:36,080 --> 00:19:39,880 Speaker 1: removing it people a lot of people feel like, oh, 280 00:19:39,960 --> 00:19:43,280 Speaker 1: you remove it and that then makes it more pure. 281 00:19:43,560 --> 00:19:47,480 Speaker 1: I feel like it makes it less pure. And I 282 00:19:48,040 --> 00:19:52,960 Speaker 1: understand in basketball that doesn't exist. Everything's the same, all 283 00:19:53,000 --> 00:19:53,240 Speaker 1: of it. 284 00:19:53,359 --> 00:19:55,480 Speaker 2: Like soccer. I mean, I don't know if they played it. 285 00:19:55,760 --> 00:19:58,520 Speaker 2: Definitely they play soccer in the snow or like light snow. 286 00:19:58,560 --> 00:20:00,320 Speaker 2: They obviously heavy rain. 287 00:20:01,000 --> 00:20:05,440 Speaker 1: That's fair, but the soccer is an outdoor sport and 288 00:20:05,520 --> 00:20:10,720 Speaker 1: being able to handle heat is a bigger thing in soccer. 289 00:20:10,600 --> 00:20:16,879 Speaker 2: Like yeah, yeah, the yeah, yeah, I guess I'm always 290 00:20:16,920 --> 00:20:20,760 Speaker 2: looking for the light show I've seeing these games. That's 291 00:20:20,840 --> 00:20:22,320 Speaker 2: fair and by the way, that's the. 292 00:20:22,359 --> 00:20:25,320 Speaker 1: Way the that's the way the NFL is moving that 293 00:20:25,600 --> 00:20:28,120 Speaker 1: it just bums me out. I mean, but again, I'm 294 00:20:28,119 --> 00:20:29,240 Speaker 1: a grand pall now. 295 00:20:29,440 --> 00:20:32,080 Speaker 2: And I'm sorry to those historians that stuff is changing. 296 00:20:32,160 --> 00:20:34,359 Speaker 1: No, it's fine. Just so many of the like the 297 00:20:34,440 --> 00:20:39,680 Speaker 1: great moments in NFL history are playoff games in the elements, 298 00:20:40,160 --> 00:20:45,800 Speaker 1: and that'll be a bummer for me. But you know, 299 00:20:47,119 --> 00:20:49,320 Speaker 1: nothing to cry about. I just I don't love it. 300 00:20:51,200 --> 00:20:53,720 Speaker 1: That to me matters a lot more than the fact 301 00:20:54,000 --> 00:20:57,399 Speaker 1: that they're moving twenty minutes west across state lines. I 302 00:20:57,480 --> 00:20:59,359 Speaker 1: want to know where I bet on sports during the 303 00:20:59,359 --> 00:21:02,359 Speaker 1: holiday season.

There is a clip of 340 00:22:57,520 --> 00:23:00,440 Speaker 1: I did some take that I don't even know if 341 00:23:00,440 --> 00:23:04,760 Speaker 1: Demonse agreed with, but it was massively aggregated, and it 342 00:23:04,840 --> 00:23:08,040 Speaker 1: was aggregated with Demnse and I split screen. And I 343 00:23:08,040 --> 00:23:11,360 Speaker 1: always find this funny because I wasn't do you guys 344 00:23:11,400 --> 00:23:13,760 Speaker 1: remember what I'm talking about? Was it my last week 345 00:23:14,680 --> 00:23:18,040 Speaker 1: from it was from Thursday show. I can't even remember 346 00:23:18,040 --> 00:23:19,360 Speaker 1: what we talked about on Thursday. 347 00:23:19,760 --> 00:23:24,960 Speaker 2: But regardless Lamar's health, Nike will and sickness and stuff, Yeah, 348 00:23:25,240 --> 00:23:28,520 Speaker 2: it was something else other than that. Probably That's why. 349 00:23:28,359 --> 00:23:30,359 Speaker 1: I'm trying to remember what our If I had our 350 00:23:30,440 --> 00:23:32,320 Speaker 1: rundown from last week in front of me, I could 351 00:23:32,440 --> 00:23:34,240 Speaker 1: I could think of it. I'm trying to think if 352 00:23:34,280 --> 00:23:37,119 Speaker 1: it's Lamar because the reason I thought of that is 353 00:23:37,160 --> 00:23:41,600 Speaker 1: it might happen again this week, but uh the let's 354 00:23:41,600 --> 00:23:44,439 Speaker 1: start with the Patriots. I think that was a growing 355 00:23:44,520 --> 00:23:45,320 Speaker 1: up moment for. 356 00:23:47,400 --> 00:23:48,000 Speaker 2: Drake Drake. 357 00:23:49,119 --> 00:23:53,560 Speaker 1: I think that Drake was playing one of his worst 358 00:23:53,560 --> 00:23:59,080 Speaker 1: games of the year and for him to rally the 359 00:23:59,080 --> 00:24:03,399 Speaker 1: way he did and make the I mean, he obviously 360 00:24:03,480 --> 00:24:05,920 Speaker 1: had the one great deep pass that was robbed from 361 00:24:06,000 --> 00:24:09,040 Speaker 1: him on the miss DPI, but didn't matter. He had 362 00:24:09,080 --> 00:24:11,800 Speaker 1: already the touchdown passing threw to the front corner of 363 00:24:11,800 --> 00:24:18,640 Speaker 1: the M zone. Yeah, was unbelievable. I thought that was great, 364 00:24:18,920 --> 00:24:24,679 Speaker 1: and I I think that on top of that, uh, 365 00:24:25,560 --> 00:24:28,480 Speaker 1: hold on, I think Paul just texted to me, Oh, 366 00:24:28,600 --> 00:24:32,800 Speaker 1: this is what it was. Sorry, it was the thank you, Paul. 367 00:24:33,280 --> 00:24:36,080 Speaker 1: It was the whimby stuff. It was me saying I 368 00:24:36,080 --> 00:24:37,400 Speaker 1: don't need to be lectured. 369 00:24:37,040 --> 00:24:38,560 Speaker 2: By a twenty year old French kid. 370 00:24:39,200 --> 00:24:42,199 Speaker 1: That the people got super mad at that take and 371 00:24:42,280 --> 00:24:46,360 Speaker 1: you're just sitting there like listening. It's just super funny. 372 00:24:47,640 --> 00:24:51,960 Speaker 1: Thank you, Paul. The no the people got mad at 373 00:24:52,040 --> 00:24:56,160 Speaker 1: I think my Lamar h takes from TV. But sorry, 374 00:24:56,200 --> 00:25:01,840 Speaker 1: I'm interrupting myself. I thought the Drake may touchdown pass 375 00:25:02,119 --> 00:25:05,280 Speaker 1: was unbuild. The bomb was unbelievable. The fourth and two 376 00:25:05,359 --> 00:25:08,879 Speaker 1: play which kept them alive to go win the game. 377 00:25:09,160 --> 00:25:10,840 Speaker 1: It was just past the sideline, but it was an 378 00:25:10,880 --> 00:25:13,880 Speaker 1: absolute laser that I thought was gonna be knocked down. 379 00:25:14,200 --> 00:25:17,200 Speaker 1: He was excellent, and Drake made is the real deal. 380 00:25:17,920 --> 00:25:24,520 Speaker 1: He is the real and uh, the Patriots they had 381 00:25:24,560 --> 00:25:27,439 Speaker 1: to win that game because while I thought sometimes the 382 00:25:27,520 --> 00:25:31,760 Speaker 1: schedule stuff got a little overblown, if they had played 383 00:25:31,760 --> 00:25:35,960 Speaker 1: that soft schedule and then lost to Buffalo and Baltimore, 384 00:25:36,720 --> 00:25:39,280 Speaker 1: it'd be like, Okay, you know what I mean. They're uh, 385 00:25:40,040 --> 00:25:44,960 Speaker 1: they're a real Yeah, they're oh, they're ahead of schedule. 386 00:25:45,359 --> 00:25:49,399 Speaker 1: They're better than all the JV teams, but they're not 387 00:25:49,960 --> 00:25:54,240 Speaker 1: an A lister, And I think they proved they're A listers. 388 00:25:54,280 --> 00:25:58,040 Speaker 1: And so I think that is that's the Patriots piece 389 00:25:58,040 --> 00:26:00,000 Speaker 1: of it. And they've got. 390 00:26:00,040 --> 00:26:02,320 Speaker 2: They got their quarterback. The guy looks like. I think 391 00:26:02,359 --> 00:26:03,760 Speaker 2: that guy's gonna be in the league for a really 392 00:26:03,840 --> 00:26:10,480 Speaker 2: really long time. Yeah, yeah, I solid, man. 393 00:26:10,560 --> 00:26:14,880 Speaker 1: I think he is just going to be a top 394 00:26:14,920 --> 00:26:20,119 Speaker 1: five quarterback moving forward. He's legit. He is, without a 395 00:26:20,160 --> 00:26:25,320 Speaker 1: doubt legit. And then you get to the Ravens and 396 00:26:27,840 --> 00:26:32,680 Speaker 1: there's a lot here they blew another big lead. Everyone's 397 00:26:32,680 --> 00:26:38,160 Speaker 1: blaming Harball. They didn't give the ball to they didn't 398 00:26:38,160 --> 00:26:42,119 Speaker 1: have Derrick Henry on the field for their last two possessions. 399 00:26:42,280 --> 00:26:48,880 Speaker 1: People are understandably blaming Harball. Another can I call it 400 00:26:49,680 --> 00:26:55,640 Speaker 1: without people freaking out? Weird injury thing with Lamar I do. 401 00:26:55,760 --> 00:26:58,160 Speaker 2: I do feel strongly that he could have came back 402 00:26:58,200 --> 00:27:00,280 Speaker 2: in the game. Watching the like and it's and it's 403 00:27:00,320 --> 00:27:02,800 Speaker 2: a ribbonery. I do think he could have come back 404 00:27:02,840 --> 00:27:04,480 Speaker 2: in that game. And I don't like doing that or 405 00:27:04,520 --> 00:27:06,360 Speaker 2: like being like so I don't know what the guy 406 00:27:06,440 --> 00:27:09,760 Speaker 2: was feeling, but I don't know, like he was moving around, 407 00:27:09,880 --> 00:27:12,000 Speaker 2: he's like on the side, like like I've had a 408 00:27:12,560 --> 00:27:15,359 Speaker 2: ribbagery before, and I just I don't know. I felt 409 00:27:15,359 --> 00:27:17,359 Speaker 2: like he could have kept playing, especially in that situation. 410 00:27:17,680 --> 00:27:19,800 Speaker 2: We have the game, we just need you to manage. 411 00:27:20,320 --> 00:27:24,040 Speaker 1: But I so listen, I hate that you're the one 412 00:27:24,080 --> 00:27:26,960 Speaker 1: that said that instead of me, because and I want this, 413 00:27:27,040 --> 00:27:30,320 Speaker 1: if this gets aggregated, people to understand he could. This 414 00:27:30,520 --> 00:27:34,520 Speaker 1: is Demonte's favorite team and the guy he's ridden with 415 00:27:34,560 --> 00:27:39,359 Speaker 1: more than anybody. Yeah, but I was shocked he didn't 416 00:27:39,359 --> 00:27:41,960 Speaker 1: go back in and when he didn't go back in. 417 00:27:43,359 --> 00:27:46,160 Speaker 1: Let me rephrase that, I was not shocked he didn't 418 00:27:46,200 --> 00:27:50,040 Speaker 1: go back in. We didn't go back in. I assumed 419 00:27:50,400 --> 00:27:54,800 Speaker 1: we were going to get the news yesterday that he 420 00:27:54,920 --> 00:27:58,600 Speaker 1: broke his ribs, that he had cracked ribs, that even 421 00:27:58,640 --> 00:28:01,640 Speaker 1: though the hit didn't the need didn't look that bad. 422 00:28:01,680 --> 00:28:05,720 Speaker 1: But you never know, you know how that is. And 423 00:28:06,440 --> 00:28:09,639 Speaker 1: so I just assumed, like, oh man, there's he like 424 00:28:09,760 --> 00:28:12,919 Speaker 1: he's he probably isn't gonna play this coming week, and 425 00:28:13,480 --> 00:28:19,720 Speaker 1: that's it's a rap. And when Harbaugh came out yesterday 426 00:28:19,760 --> 00:28:25,720 Speaker 1: and said it's just a bad contusion and he's day 427 00:28:25,760 --> 00:28:32,119 Speaker 1: to day, I was stunned. Now again, it's weird because 428 00:28:32,160 --> 00:28:38,680 Speaker 1: Lamar is obviously tough, and obviously he's playing care care 429 00:28:40,160 --> 00:28:44,360 Speaker 1: so I so that's why I'm saying, it's just another 430 00:28:44,720 --> 00:28:51,720 Speaker 1: weird injury thing with Lamar, where now he has suffered 431 00:28:51,720 --> 00:28:55,560 Speaker 1: a hamstring injury that nobody saw when it happened, but 432 00:28:55,680 --> 00:28:59,080 Speaker 1: obviously was a real one, like a not real as 433 00:28:59,160 --> 00:29:01,560 Speaker 1: opposed to real or sus fake. I should have said 434 00:29:01,600 --> 00:29:05,760 Speaker 1: a significant one to where he missed multiple games, including 435 00:29:05,800 --> 00:29:07,840 Speaker 1: a game after a bye that his coach thought he 436 00:29:07,880 --> 00:29:12,920 Speaker 1: would be back for, and then had knee, ankle toe 437 00:29:12,960 --> 00:29:17,000 Speaker 1: injuries that made him miss practice but not miss any games, 438 00:29:17,040 --> 00:29:21,360 Speaker 1: but he then wasn't effective in the games. Then his 439 00:29:21,640 --> 00:29:26,440 Speaker 1: you know, annual December cold had him miss practice, and 440 00:29:26,520 --> 00:29:32,160 Speaker 1: now what looked like a relatively banal play knocked him 441 00:29:32,200 --> 00:29:39,120 Speaker 1: out for the most critical half of their season, basically 442 00:29:39,160 --> 00:29:45,520 Speaker 1: playing an elimination game. It's just weird. And I'm not 443 00:29:45,720 --> 00:29:51,400 Speaker 1: trying to be like KG with my analysis here. I'm 444 00:29:51,400 --> 00:29:56,080 Speaker 1: not trying to hint at anything, but I'm also not 445 00:29:56,240 --> 00:30:04,160 Speaker 1: going to act like it's not weird. And it's very, 446 00:30:04,280 --> 00:30:10,280 Speaker 1: very hard not to go to the other quarterbacks in 447 00:30:10,480 --> 00:30:20,640 Speaker 1: Lamar's tax bracket and echelon, and I'd ask yourself, do 448 00:30:20,720 --> 00:30:27,440 Speaker 1: we think they would have an injury that the next 449 00:30:27,560 --> 00:30:31,680 Speaker 1: day their coach calls day to day and expects them 450 00:30:31,720 --> 00:30:36,240 Speaker 1: to play the next week, that we wouldn't have seen 451 00:30:36,280 --> 00:30:40,320 Speaker 1: them back on the field at least trying seeing giving 452 00:30:40,360 --> 00:30:42,880 Speaker 1: it a go and then maybe Okay, this isn't gonna work. 453 00:30:42,920 --> 00:30:46,440 Speaker 1: I don't know, I feel like you would have, and 454 00:30:46,520 --> 00:30:50,080 Speaker 1: so it's just odd. And I go. 455 00:30:50,200 --> 00:30:55,160 Speaker 2: Back to Baltimore. See so with the situation, Harball, whatever 456 00:30:55,200 --> 00:30:56,320 Speaker 2: it is, let me tweak that. 457 00:30:56,520 --> 00:30:59,120 Speaker 1: There you go I don't because I said this a 458 00:30:59,160 --> 00:31:03,160 Speaker 1: few weeks ago. I only think he wants out. I 459 00:31:03,200 --> 00:31:08,640 Speaker 1: think he might be over Harba and this has run 460 00:31:08,680 --> 00:31:14,120 Speaker 1: its course, and that Lamar is resigned to the fact 461 00:31:14,560 --> 00:31:17,000 Speaker 1: that this is a lost season, and it is a 462 00:31:17,000 --> 00:31:32,400 Speaker 1: lost season, and this was the biggest thing I said 463 00:31:32,480 --> 00:31:36,920 Speaker 1: yesterday on TV that I think people maybe took issue with. 464 00:31:37,000 --> 00:31:40,640 Speaker 1: But again, we won't know for five years, but I 465 00:31:40,680 --> 00:31:44,800 Speaker 1: will I think this will age well. I am not 466 00:31:44,840 --> 00:31:48,080 Speaker 1: saying Lamar will never make or win a super Bowl. 467 00:31:48,480 --> 00:31:51,520 Speaker 1: What I am saying is I think when his career 468 00:31:51,720 --> 00:31:56,480 Speaker 1: is over, we will look at the best chances he 469 00:31:56,720 --> 00:32:02,120 Speaker 1: had were these past three years. They were the solitary 470 00:32:02,280 --> 00:32:06,720 Speaker 1: super Bowl favorite at multiple points in each of the 471 00:32:06,840 --> 00:32:11,480 Speaker 1: last three seasons. They were the super Bowl preseason favorite 472 00:32:11,480 --> 00:32:16,200 Speaker 1: this year. And to come out of these three years 473 00:32:16,720 --> 00:32:22,160 Speaker 1: with two total playoff victories, come out of the twenty 474 00:32:22,360 --> 00:32:26,760 Speaker 1: twenties so far twenty one, two, twenty three, twenty four 475 00:32:26,800 --> 00:32:31,560 Speaker 1: to twenty five with two total playoff victories is stunning. 476 00:32:33,640 --> 00:32:42,080 Speaker 1: And now I think you start a new era with 477 00:32:42,200 --> 00:32:48,560 Speaker 1: a new head coach Demons. Before we move on to 478 00:32:48,600 --> 00:32:51,719 Speaker 1: the Pittsburgh's side of it, I want to give you 479 00:32:51,760 --> 00:32:56,560 Speaker 1: some news. Zay Flowers named to the Pro Bowl this morning. 480 00:32:57,640 --> 00:33:00,800 Speaker 1: Now go ahead, I know you have a potentials eight 481 00:33:00,880 --> 00:33:01,880 Speaker 1: flowers take. 482 00:33:02,960 --> 00:33:06,560 Speaker 2: Just run straight, man, please just run straight, and just 483 00:33:06,600 --> 00:33:10,200 Speaker 2: be a little bit tighter with the football. I just 484 00:33:10,240 --> 00:33:12,240 Speaker 2: think that there there have been a couple of big 485 00:33:12,280 --> 00:33:16,200 Speaker 2: situations and the biggest point of the season. I think 486 00:33:16,240 --> 00:33:18,280 Speaker 2: the guy is loose with the football. He's trying to 487 00:33:18,320 --> 00:33:21,640 Speaker 2: play like backyard football or something, making these cuts backwards. 488 00:33:21,640 --> 00:33:23,360 Speaker 2: And that's not like the only time that I've seen 489 00:33:23,440 --> 00:33:26,680 Speaker 2: him do that, but just in the bigger instances, it's like, dude, 490 00:33:26,800 --> 00:33:28,920 Speaker 2: just just be tirer with the football. Don't try to 491 00:33:28,960 --> 00:33:31,560 Speaker 2: get it all one play to go down or something. 492 00:33:31,640 --> 00:33:32,800 Speaker 2: It's just kind of frustrated. 493 00:33:33,160 --> 00:33:35,560 Speaker 1: And he has said he was gonna do that, yeah, 494 00:33:35,600 --> 00:33:38,320 Speaker 1: and then he has not done that. 495 00:33:38,400 --> 00:33:40,200 Speaker 2: He's loose, just loose. 496 00:33:41,120 --> 00:33:44,719 Speaker 1: And it's the end. He doesn't fumble a lot, but 497 00:33:44,760 --> 00:33:49,280 Speaker 1: you remember the fumbles. Yeah, you're there are big moments. 498 00:33:49,440 --> 00:33:51,720 Speaker 1: By the way, if you're thinking about upgrading to the 499 00:33:51,760 --> 00:33:54,960 Speaker 1: all new iPhone seventeen Pro, designed to be the most 500 00:33:55,000 --> 00:33:58,200 Speaker 1: powerful iPhone ever, but you're also thinking about the traffic 501 00:33:58,240 --> 00:34:00,600 Speaker 1: on your way to the store or transferring all your data. 502 00:34:00,680 --> 00:34:03,560 Speaker 1: Good news.

The 513 00:34:40,280 --> 00:34:43,399 Speaker 1: first pick to Mon'sday is my favorite pick of the weekend. 514 00:34:43,640 --> 00:34:46,480 Speaker 2: You've got Dallas minus six and a half at Washington. 515 00:34:47,320 --> 00:34:52,560 Speaker 1: Yeah, I listen. I think Josh Johnson's playing quarterback for Washington. 516 00:34:53,239 --> 00:34:56,719 Speaker 1: I don't know this, but I think it. And if 517 00:34:56,760 --> 00:34:59,839 Speaker 1: that's the case, they just can't move the ball, Dall. 518 00:35:00,360 --> 00:35:06,160 Speaker 1: I understand that Dallas. You might feel like, oh, they're 519 00:35:06,200 --> 00:35:09,279 Speaker 1: gonna be demoralized because they're eliminated from the playoffs. I 520 00:35:09,280 --> 00:35:11,480 Speaker 1: don't know that. I think they've kind of felt they 521 00:35:11,480 --> 00:35:13,800 Speaker 1: were eliminated from the playoffs for a while. They're gonna 522 00:35:13,800 --> 00:35:18,320 Speaker 1: move the ball, Dallas is gonna blow out the Commanders. 523 00:35:18,400 --> 00:35:21,440 Speaker 1: I love the Cowboys minus six and a half and 524 00:35:21,560 --> 00:35:24,759 Speaker 1: Dak owned the Commanders in his career twelve and two 525 00:35:24,840 --> 00:35:27,160 Speaker 1: straight up, and they've covered five in a row. 526 00:35:27,239 --> 00:35:30,800 Speaker 2: Next, you got Jacksonville minus six and a half at Indy. 527 00:35:32,080 --> 00:35:37,160 Speaker 1: So listen, Philip Rivers. Credit to him for playing obviously, 528 00:35:37,320 --> 00:35:41,640 Speaker 1: way way way better than I expected. But their season 529 00:35:41,760 --> 00:35:44,960 Speaker 1: ended Monday night and he came back to try to 530 00:35:45,000 --> 00:35:48,400 Speaker 1: make a playoff push. The Jags are playing for a 531 00:35:48,440 --> 00:35:51,840 Speaker 1: lot as far as locking up the division, staying alive 532 00:35:51,880 --> 00:35:56,279 Speaker 1: for the one seed. Jags have been crushing against the 533 00:35:56,280 --> 00:35:59,200 Speaker 1: AFC South five and oh against the spread in their 534 00:35:59,280 --> 00:36:04,000 Speaker 1: last five against the AFC South. The culture falling apart again. 535 00:36:04,280 --> 00:36:08,200 Speaker 1: The Jags game and the Cowboys game are games I'm 536 00:36:08,200 --> 00:36:10,480 Speaker 1: picking here. I don't know if I'll be able to 537 00:36:10,480 --> 00:36:13,200 Speaker 1: pick Friday on TV because I don't know if the 538 00:36:13,239 --> 00:36:16,000 Speaker 1: Lions will have moved up to you know, above the seven. 539 00:36:16,320 --> 00:36:17,840 Speaker 1: But I'll take the six and a half. 540 00:36:18,040 --> 00:36:21,719 Speaker 2: Next. Next, you got Pittsburgh minus four at Cleveland. This 541 00:36:21,840 --> 00:36:23,640 Speaker 2: was originally at four and a half. It's just dropped 542 00:36:23,640 --> 00:36:23,919 Speaker 2: to four. 543 00:36:24,080 --> 00:36:28,160 Speaker 1: Yeah, I listen, I know laying more than a field 544 00:36:28,200 --> 00:36:30,799 Speaker 1: goal with Tomlin and divisional games is it hasn't been 545 00:36:30,840 --> 00:36:35,080 Speaker 1: the best, but I just think Shador has been really 546 00:36:35,120 --> 00:36:39,880 Speaker 1: bad and the last two weeks. It's fine for a 547 00:36:39,920 --> 00:36:43,240 Speaker 1: fifth round rookie, but for a Pittsburgh team that knows 548 00:36:43,360 --> 00:36:46,480 Speaker 1: we take care of business here, we get give ourselves 549 00:36:46,480 --> 00:36:49,480 Speaker 1: a bye week eighteen doesn't matter, and win the division. 550 00:36:49,560 --> 00:36:51,680 Speaker 1: I'll lay the four points with Pittsburgh. I got no 551 00:36:51,719 --> 00:36:52,279 Speaker 1: problem with that. 552 00:36:52,400 --> 00:36:57,040 Speaker 2: Next Buffalo minus two and a half versus Philly, I. 553 00:36:56,960 --> 00:36:59,359 Speaker 1: Think Buffalo is a lot better than Philly. They're at home. 554 00:36:59,400 --> 00:37:03,480 Speaker 1: I'm only I'm playing less than a field goal. And listen, 555 00:37:03,560 --> 00:37:06,800 Speaker 1: Philly getting Jalen Carter and Lane Johnson back this week. 556 00:37:07,160 --> 00:37:10,719 Speaker 1: I think it's something Philly also, though they locked up 557 00:37:10,760 --> 00:37:14,600 Speaker 1: the division, they're not gonna be the one seed. So 558 00:37:14,680 --> 00:37:17,400 Speaker 1: it's not that I think they're not gonna care, but 559 00:37:18,040 --> 00:37:21,080 Speaker 1: they just they they have no chance of being the 560 00:37:21,080 --> 00:37:24,000 Speaker 1: one seed. They have no chance of not winning the division, 561 00:37:24,440 --> 00:37:27,399 Speaker 1: so they have a slight chance at the three, at 562 00:37:27,400 --> 00:37:31,880 Speaker 1: the two seed, but they can't be the four. Philly 563 00:37:32,000 --> 00:37:35,240 Speaker 1: right now cannot be the one, four, five, six, or seven. 564 00:37:35,640 --> 00:37:37,360 Speaker 1: They're either. No matter what happens to the rest of 565 00:37:37,360 --> 00:37:40,200 Speaker 1: the way they're the two or the three seed, and 566 00:37:40,239 --> 00:37:43,440 Speaker 1: they are probably the three seed, So I just think 567 00:37:43,560 --> 00:37:46,920 Speaker 1: Buffalo's better, Buffalo needs the game. Buffalo's at home. I'll 568 00:37:46,920 --> 00:37:51,040 Speaker 1: take Buffalo and then our one underdog, We're. 569 00:37:50,840 --> 00:37:55,680 Speaker 2: Taking Chicago plus three at San Francisco. This got bumped 570 00:37:55,760 --> 00:37:56,919 Speaker 2: up from to and a half. 571 00:37:58,200 --> 00:38:01,240 Speaker 1: I just think the Bears run game, Bears offense against 572 00:38:01,280 --> 00:38:05,319 Speaker 1: that Niners defense, I think they can win. And I'm 573 00:38:05,360 --> 00:38:11,640 Speaker 1: getting three full points. So the Bears, by the way, 574 00:38:11,760 --> 00:38:16,040 Speaker 1: played on Saturday. The Niners played Monday, so that's not 575 00:38:16,120 --> 00:38:18,359 Speaker 1: like a mini buy, but it's a difference in that 576 00:38:19,440 --> 00:38:21,400 Speaker 1: I think the Bears can win that game outright. So 577 00:38:21,480 --> 00:38:24,319 Speaker 1: my five picks are Dallas minus six and a half, 578 00:38:24,400 --> 00:38:27,719 Speaker 1: Jacksonville minus six and a half, Pittsburgh minus four, Buffalo 579 00:38:27,760 --> 00:38:30,359 Speaker 1: minus two and a half, Chicago plus three. Again, if 580 00:38:30,360 --> 00:38:33,840 Speaker 1: you're gonna bet favorites, Betamurley. We are doing this on Tuesday. 581 00:38:33,880 --> 00:38:34,880 Speaker 1: We are betting Amarley
