WEBVTT - Best Of - What's wrong with Lamar Jackson? Chiefs LEAVING Kansas City, NFL Week 17 Picks | Nick Wright 0:00:00.280 --> 0:00:02.480 Welcome to the Best of the Week for What's Right 0:00:02.560 --> 0:00:05.200 with Nick Right the best takes in moments from this 0:00:05.280 --> 0:00:06.400 week on the show. 0:00:06.680 --> 0:00:11.680 Enjoy the season from Hell becomes more hilatious. You guys 0:00:11.680 --> 0:00:14.880 lost Patrick, You guys lost your backup quarterback in Garda Minshew, 0:00:14.920 --> 0:00:17.480 and you lost the Titans. And it seems like Kansas 0:00:17.480 --> 0:00:19.440 City Chiefs are no longer going to be in Kansas City. 0:00:19.680 --> 0:00:21.960 They might be moving over to Kansas in twenty thirty. 0:00:22.440 --> 0:00:23.960 How do you feel about this development? 0:00:24.560 --> 0:00:26.600 All right, first, let me explain to people what it means. 0:00:27.800 --> 0:00:32.479 Kansas City Kansas City for all intents and purposes. When 0:00:32.479 --> 0:00:35.520 people hear about Kansas City, they're talking about the Missouri side. 0:00:35.560 --> 0:00:38.120 It is where I'm from, so weird kind of border 0:00:38.240 --> 0:00:42.960 rivalry Missouri or Kansas. But I grew up one block 0:00:43.159 --> 0:00:47.239 off State Line Road. That is exactly what it sounds like, 0:00:47.520 --> 0:00:53.279 the line between Missouri and Kansas. Now, confusingly and oddly, 0:00:54.920 --> 0:00:58.440 the Missouri side of State Line Road is Kansas City. 0:00:58.720 --> 0:01:02.480 The Kansas side of State Line Road is not Kansas City, Kansas. 0:01:02.720 --> 0:01:05.840 That's a different part. Like there is a small part 0:01:05.880 --> 0:01:09.000 of Kansasity, Kansas that's touches State Line Road, but most 0:01:09.000 --> 0:01:10.840 of it that touches State Line Road is like uh 0:01:10.959 --> 0:01:16.840 Leewood or Oleitha or different municipalities. Okay, you guys don't 0:01:16.880 --> 0:01:21.760 care about that, what you What does matter is this 0:01:22.120 --> 0:01:26.839 the Chiefs are moving about twenty minutes west of where 0:01:26.959 --> 0:01:32.160 they currently play. So this has no impact on them 0:01:32.240 --> 0:01:35.520 being the Kansas City Chiefs because they were in Kansas 0:01:35.560 --> 0:01:38.120 City proper. Yes, but they are still in the greater 0:01:38.240 --> 0:01:41.320 Kansas City area. Just like the San Francisco forty nine 0:01:41.400 --> 0:01:44.520 Ers play in Santa Clara. The New England Patriots, which 0:01:44.560 --> 0:01:48.440 people consider Boston's team, play in Foxborough. Like this is 0:01:48.920 --> 0:01:51.920 the Detroit Pistons used to play at the Palace at 0:01:51.960 --> 0:01:56.160 Auburn Hills. This happens. This is not a team moving 0:01:56.640 --> 0:02:00.760 the way teams move, like Baltimore going to Cleveland, that 0:02:00.840 --> 0:02:03.560 type of the Cleveland going to Baltimore. Either, That's not 0:02:03.640 --> 0:02:06.840 what this is at all. Now it does for me 0:02:06.880 --> 0:02:09.240 as a native Missouri and someone who's lived lived his 0:02:09.320 --> 0:02:12.400 whole life might have its Kansas Missouri firefighter. I lived 0:02:12.480 --> 0:02:16.000 in on the Missouri side and whenever people say to me, oh, 0:02:16.000 --> 0:02:20.320 you're from Kansas, I correct them say no, I'm from Missouri. 0:02:20.800 --> 0:02:27.280 I hate that the Chiefs are leaving. I don't hate 0:02:27.520 --> 0:02:35.840 that Missouri was not held hostage by pro sports owners. 0:02:36.280 --> 0:02:39.600 And this is where we get into a little bit 0:02:39.600 --> 0:02:41.760 of tricky stuff. And then we will talk about the 0:02:41.760 --> 0:02:44.519 football piece of it, because there is a real football 0:02:44.560 --> 0:02:51.240 piece of it. But this is so teams because the 0:02:51.280 --> 0:02:55.280 state of Kansas, via star bonds and other stuff, is 0:02:55.320 --> 0:02:59.399 going to pay more money for this Chief stadium than 0:02:59.600 --> 0:03:04.359 any local government, which means taxpayers have paid for any 0:03:04.400 --> 0:03:09.040 stadium in the history of America one point eight billion dollars. 0:03:10.680 --> 0:03:17.760 And I have always believed that the call it fifteen 0:03:18.000 --> 0:03:24.280 biggest cities in the country, all of the mayors slash 0:03:24.440 --> 0:03:29.080 governors of those states should have gotten together a long 0:03:29.160 --> 0:03:33.880 time ago and said, folks, we need to have an 0:03:33.919 --> 0:03:39.880 agreement amongst ourselves. We are not going to pay for 0:03:40.040 --> 0:03:44.960 pro sports team stadiums because they want to be in 0:03:45.040 --> 0:03:51.839 our cities. So New York, LA, Dallas, Houston, Chicago, San Francisco, 0:03:52.160 --> 0:03:56.200 that your major markets pro sports teams want to be there. 0:03:57.360 --> 0:04:00.480 The idea that they are going to leave is a bluff. 0:04:01.840 --> 0:04:04.880 If you are a major, major market, so you should 0:04:05.000 --> 0:04:09.720 never pay. Never pay. If you're in one of those markets. 0:04:10.880 --> 0:04:14.960 If you're in a smaller market, it does get trickier 0:04:15.720 --> 0:04:22.480 because we have seen teams leave smaller markets. And one 0:04:22.600 --> 0:04:25.839 can argue, and I have argued for a long time 0:04:25.880 --> 0:04:33.160 to use my hometown as a example, that the thing 0:04:33.720 --> 0:04:39.680 that distinct that makes Kansas City different from Des Moines, Iowa, 0:04:40.040 --> 0:04:42.760 or Omaha, Nebraska is that we have the chiefs and 0:04:42.800 --> 0:04:47.359 the royals. That's it. We're a two sport pro sport 0:04:47.520 --> 0:04:54.080 city and there is real economic and civic pride benefit 0:04:54.160 --> 0:04:57.440 to that. And Kansas City is not a huge market, 0:04:58.040 --> 0:05:03.960 so you you can't just dare a team to leave 0:05:04.040 --> 0:05:08.360 the way LA could or New York could or Washington, 0:05:08.480 --> 0:05:14.120 DC could, because they might leave. The Kansas City has 0:05:14.160 --> 0:05:18.119 lost teams before, and so I don't think it. While 0:05:18.560 --> 0:05:21.800 I understand the argument of there are better things to 0:05:21.839 --> 0:05:26.200 be putting paying taxpayer dollars for that is correct, I 0:05:26.240 --> 0:05:32.200 agree with that in general. I also understand why if 0:05:32.240 --> 0:05:39.200 you're Memphis, losing the Grizzlies as scary as shit, and 0:05:39.480 --> 0:05:43.719 it might be worth taxpayer dollars to make sure they stay. 0:05:45.360 --> 0:05:49.159 And so I think the math is not the same 0:05:49.320 --> 0:05:52.480 for mid market and small market teams as it is 0:05:53.200 --> 0:05:56.320 for major market teams. That's just my opinion. I think 0:05:56.360 --> 0:05:58.279 I have data to back that up, but it's my 0:05:58.400 --> 0:06:00.960 gut feeling on how having grown up in one of 0:06:00.960 --> 0:06:05.800 those places and feeling like I'm from somewhere, and because 0:06:05.920 --> 0:06:11.440 we have pro sports teams and so this doesn't change 0:06:11.440 --> 0:06:14.400 that for Kansas Citians, they will still be the Kansasity Chiefs. 0:06:14.640 --> 0:06:21.120 Nobody half the country thought they played in Kansas already anyway, 0:06:21.160 --> 0:06:27.120 And I don't think I understand the gut reaction people have, 0:06:27.400 --> 0:06:30.400 and I'm with you politically on this, that it is 0:06:31.640 --> 0:06:37.280 shameful the public subsidies we will give billion dollar sports 0:06:37.320 --> 0:06:42.120 teams when I mean the city the state of Kansas 0:06:42.200 --> 0:06:47.960 has no public transportation none. Don't get mad at me, 0:06:48.040 --> 0:06:51.080 Governor Laura Kelly, Like, I'm sure there's a few bus routes, 0:06:51.320 --> 0:06:55.680 but like there are there's there are things that money 0:06:55.680 --> 0:06:59.000 could be used for that probably would help a greater 0:06:59.200 --> 0:07:02.760 group of people. I get that, But I also do 0:07:02.839 --> 0:07:08.280 think that if you're in a city the size of 0:07:08.400 --> 0:07:12.080 one that a team might leave, losing that team can 0:07:12.120 --> 0:07:15.040 be devastating to the community. So I do think you 0:07:15.080 --> 0:07:20.320 have to weigh that the the problem for the cheap 0:07:20.480 --> 0:07:25.320 for that the Chiefs were able to play into specifically 0:07:25.480 --> 0:07:31.040 is because they're on a state line. They could play 0:07:31.160 --> 0:07:35.480 one state against the other and get basically demanse the 0:07:35.680 --> 0:07:40.960 benefit that you normally only get this type of I mean, 0:07:41.000 --> 0:07:43.600 one point eight billion, it's the biggest public subsidy ever. 0:07:43.880 --> 0:07:48.600 You normally only get that something like that if you 0:07:48.680 --> 0:07:52.640 are threatening your fan base with we are moving like 0:07:52.720 --> 0:07:56.200 we are going to the Seattle SuperSonics are going to 0:07:56.200 --> 0:08:00.760 become the Oklahoma City Thunder. Because Kansas City that is 0:08:00.800 --> 0:08:03.440 on a state line, they were able to get the 0:08:03.480 --> 0:08:07.800 benefit without ever having to threaten. They were never threatening 0:08:07.840 --> 0:08:11.840 to move to San Antonio. It's just like we'll just. 0:08:13.960 --> 0:08:15.440 Whoever is going to the game. 0:08:17.000 --> 0:08:19.640 Right, You still get to play the states against each other. 0:08:19.960 --> 0:08:23.920 And this has been a problem for border cities. This 0:08:24.120 --> 0:08:29.280 is a bigger problem when it comes to business taxes 0:08:29.440 --> 0:08:32.400 and municipal funding. And again, this is the part that 0:08:32.440 --> 0:08:34.760 could be boring, but I'm going to give a very 0:08:34.800 --> 0:08:39.040 simplistic story of what's happened in my hometown. Because it's 0:08:39.040 --> 0:08:44.360 on a state line, you'll have a business, not a 0:08:44.400 --> 0:08:49.920 sports team, a business that is based in Kansas, and 0:08:49.960 --> 0:08:53.679 then politicians in Missouri because they want to say, we 0:08:53.880 --> 0:08:59.520 added jobs to our community, will give that business insane 0:08:59.640 --> 0:09:05.480 tax breaks to move its headquarters fifteen minutes east over 0:09:05.520 --> 0:09:10.920 to Missouri, and that business can then not pay the 0:09:10.960 --> 0:09:14.360 taxes it was once paying. It has no impact whatsoever 0:09:14.640 --> 0:09:18.480 actually on who has the jobs. You're not adding jobs 0:09:18.480 --> 0:09:21.160 to your community. You're just stealing them off the books 0:09:21.160 --> 0:09:23.800 of Kansas to Adam and Missouri, or Missouri to Adam 0:09:23.800 --> 0:09:26.640 and Kansas, vice versa. But it's the same human beings 0:09:26.720 --> 0:09:31.560 working there, and that has, you know, been That's a 0:09:31.720 --> 0:09:36.840 problem for mayors and city councils of border cities all 0:09:36.880 --> 0:09:39.960 the time, like how do we because it ends up 0:09:39.960 --> 0:09:43.240 being a not a zero sum game again, a zero 0:09:43.360 --> 0:09:47.120 sum for the overall community, but a huge win for 0:09:47.160 --> 0:09:51.400 the a zero sum for the employment of the overall community, 0:09:51.640 --> 0:09:54.920 while being a huge win for the bottom line of corporations. 0:09:55.200 --> 0:09:58.080 That's a sidebar. Now to the football piece of it, 0:09:58.679 --> 0:10:02.360 because here is the te angible effect. The Chiefs are 0:10:02.400 --> 0:10:04.480 going to play in a dome stadium starting in twenty 0:10:04.520 --> 0:10:05.000 thirty one. 0:10:05.559 --> 0:10:09.280 Hey, that's awesome. I don't know how you feel about that. 0:10:09.120 --> 0:10:11.400 That's awesome. I love the domes. 0:10:12.320 --> 0:10:12.959 I hate it. 0:10:14.960 --> 0:10:21.160 So the snow games, that real effect of the weather. Yeah, 0:10:21.960 --> 0:10:27.319 I like that passion. I'm going to the man, so the. 0:10:27.280 --> 0:10:37.559 Other homes here's the so very short term, very selfish. 0:10:38.000 --> 0:10:42.880 I like the dome for Patrick's late thirties. 0:10:43.080 --> 0:10:44.880 Oh and then the new guy is going to be 0:10:44.920 --> 0:10:46.320 playing in the dome the whole time. 0:10:47.679 --> 0:10:54.240 So if we are just talking about maximizing like Mahomes' career, 0:10:55.360 --> 0:10:59.960 having the fact that his age thirty five in old, 0:11:00.000 --> 0:11:07.720 old seasons will be in a dome is probably good. Yeah, Okay, 0:11:08.520 --> 0:11:17.080 that's probably good. That to me is not worth the 0:11:17.240 --> 0:11:28.800 trade off of football slowly but surely eliminating weather as 0:11:28.840 --> 0:11:35.680 a component, Like I think we are moving towards a 0:11:36.080 --> 0:11:42.760 reality of in a decade, there are maybe three or 0:11:42.880 --> 0:11:47.200 four stadiums in the country where weather plays a part, 0:11:47.320 --> 0:11:50.320 and I don't like that for football. I think football 0:11:50.360 --> 0:11:52.400 is a game made to be played in the elements. 0:11:53.240 --> 0:12:01.040 I don't mind domes in warm weather places because it 0:12:01.160 --> 0:12:06.760 feels like that's actually like the elements aren't going to 0:12:06.800 --> 0:12:08.920 be a big issue there anyway, and so it allows 0:12:08.920 --> 0:12:12.000 you to host more events. Fine, And I don't mind 0:12:12.080 --> 0:12:16.719 the Dome in Minnesota only because that specific place can 0:12:16.760 --> 0:12:18.600 get so Maybe it's just because I'm used to it, 0:12:18.760 --> 0:12:21.240 but it can get so much snow that they have 0:12:21.400 --> 0:12:25.600 like canceled games. But I guess Buffalo. So it's probably 0:12:25.679 --> 0:12:28.160 just because I'm used to it. But I don't like 0:12:29.720 --> 0:12:35.680 football removing the elements and the idea that because they 0:12:35.720 --> 0:12:39.600 build this stadium, Kansas City is going to get a 0:12:39.640 --> 0:12:44.640 bunch of super Bowls. It's just not true. I think 0:12:44.720 --> 0:12:49.559 they will probably get one, and people will complain about 0:12:49.559 --> 0:12:52.200 the super Bowl being in Kansas City, and you know what, 0:12:52.960 --> 0:12:55.679 they should because the super Bowl should not be in 0:12:55.760 --> 0:12:59.400 Kansas City. The super Bowls shouldn't. I'm from there. I 0:12:59.440 --> 0:13:02.520 love it. Super Bowl should not have ever been in Minneapolis, 0:13:02.640 --> 0:13:05.360 it shouldn't have ever been in Indianapolis. It shouldn't be 0:13:05.360 --> 0:13:06.280 in Kansas City. 0:13:06.520 --> 0:13:08.120 The super Bowl sho, what does it need to be 0:13:08.120 --> 0:13:10.240 in New Orleans? Or wait, what happened? 0:13:10.440 --> 0:13:16.800 New Orleans? Miami, Vegas, LA? That's where the super Bowl elitist? Okay, 0:13:17.760 --> 0:13:22.760 no cities, it's yeah, I guess. I mean New Orleans 0:13:22.840 --> 0:13:28.839 isn't a big market. It's just awesome and the and 0:13:28.960 --> 0:13:33.440 so I think we have seen cities that can do it, 0:13:33.440 --> 0:13:36.080 and I'd be honestly Okay, with La not being included, 0:13:36.559 --> 0:13:38.760 I'd be fine with it just being Vegas, Miami, New 0:13:38.840 --> 0:13:42.800 Orleans like that, that being the rotation. You can make 0:13:42.840 --> 0:13:46.000 the argument for Phoenix, but I just think they're not 0:13:46.559 --> 0:13:49.600 the idea that Kansas City is because they're add this 0:13:50.120 --> 0:13:52.120 is going to be a part of a Super Bowl rotation. 0:13:52.760 --> 0:13:53.640 That's not gonna happen. 0:13:54.360 --> 0:13:54.440 Now. 0:13:54.520 --> 0:13:57.480 It's not gonna be every ten years the biggest sporting 0:13:57.520 --> 0:14:01.640 event in the country, Headcore in wyan Dot County for 0:14:01.840 --> 0:14:06.720 in February. It's just not happening. But the big my 0:14:06.800 --> 0:14:13.720 biggest thing is on the field. I don't like I 0:14:13.960 --> 0:14:23.160 like that weather matters, and I like that the Buffalo 0:14:23.440 --> 0:14:27.960 in Kansas City and Baltimore and Pittsburgh and New England 0:14:29.480 --> 0:14:34.360 have to be able to play in multiple settings. And 0:14:34.440 --> 0:14:37.560 I just I so, yes, I think it'll be good 0:14:37.560 --> 0:14:40.200 for Pat the end of you know, the last quarter 0:14:40.240 --> 0:14:44.440 of Patrick's career. But it's to me a bit of 0:14:44.480 --> 0:14:48.760 a bummer. And the other bummer is this, You're gonna 0:14:48.800 --> 0:14:52.080 go from eighty thousand seats to about sixty eight thousand, 0:14:53.760 --> 0:14:58.120 and I'm going to be very interested and I really 0:14:58.200 --> 0:15:00.760 hope that they that they find to wait because I 0:15:00.760 --> 0:15:03.360 think the tailgating will be great no matter what. One 0:15:03.400 --> 0:15:07.320 thing Clark HNT said yesterday that's true is parking lots 0:15:07.360 --> 0:15:10.880 don't tailgate people do. That's correct. I think the tailgating 0:15:11.280 --> 0:15:16.720 pregame stuff. I trust they will make sure that stays sacrisanct, because, like, 0:15:16.800 --> 0:15:19.880 if there's ever a reason to go to an NFL game, 0:15:20.400 --> 0:15:24.000 going to Arrowhead to tailgate before the game is one 0:15:24.080 --> 0:15:26.640 of the greatest things in the NFL. And I think 0:15:26.680 --> 0:15:31.000 that will stay. But I wonder if they're going to 0:15:31.040 --> 0:15:33.560 be able like and but the other thing Clark said 0:15:33.640 --> 0:15:37.600 is seats and concrete don't make noise, fans do. That 0:15:37.760 --> 0:15:41.480 is true, but certain stadiums are more conducive for noise 0:15:41.520 --> 0:15:46.000 than others. And Arrowhead has been the loudest open air 0:15:46.080 --> 0:15:51.080 stadium in the country forever. And I just hope they 0:15:51.080 --> 0:15:52.960 are able to recreate. 0:15:52.400 --> 0:15:58.080 That is is it going to have a new name, Well. 0:15:58.240 --> 0:16:01.160 I would imagine they'll still call it Arrowhead. They've already 0:16:01.240 --> 0:16:06.280 kind of sold on that because it's technically ge J 0:16:06.600 --> 0:16:16.400 Field at Arrowhead. And I've never totally understood naming right sponsorships, 0:16:16.800 --> 0:16:19.920 Like I don't know that anyone has paid more attention 0:16:20.000 --> 0:16:22.200 to the Kansas City Chiefs. I really don't know that 0:16:22.280 --> 0:16:24.960 anyone in the world has paid more attention to the 0:16:25.000 --> 0:16:30.640 Kansity chiefs than me, certainly, uh since because the stadiums 0:16:30.640 --> 0:16:32.320 don't even named that for like five years of the 0:16:32.360 --> 0:16:36.400 field in that time. Prater and I still don't. But 0:16:36.480 --> 0:16:39.680 I still don't know what GHA is. Yeah, if you 0:16:39.720 --> 0:16:42.680 were like that, I have no idea. I have no 0:16:42.880 --> 0:16:46.360 clue what the I don't know. Do they sell insurance? 0:16:46.880 --> 0:16:50.120 Is it are they? I have no consult I don't 0:16:50.120 --> 0:16:54.160 know what it is. So it's it's always arrowhead to me. 0:16:55.480 --> 0:17:02.440 But that's the the positive and the negative. That's what 0:17:02.480 --> 0:17:05.600 it is. Now, will Kn't City get a Final four? Maybe? 0:17:06.320 --> 0:17:09.960 Like will they're like having a domed stadium? There is 0:17:10.119 --> 0:17:13.840 there are benefits for it. 0:17:14.840 --> 0:17:17.520 Eha is Government Employees Health Association. 0:17:18.560 --> 0:17:20.720 Still don't know what it means. Does that mean they 0:17:20.760 --> 0:17:24.320 they they? Does that mean they compete with the company 0:17:24.359 --> 0:17:31.800 that Gronk advertises for So it is they're the competitors 0:17:31.800 --> 0:17:35.600 of Gronk's company. What's that? What's the Gronk insurance company? 0:17:35.600 --> 0:17:39.879 Where he's like, I wasn't in the military. Yeah, okay, 0:17:39.920 --> 0:17:43.280 so g eh and USAA are competitors, all right, good 0:17:43.280 --> 0:17:44.600 for them. 0:17:44.640 --> 0:17:46.840 And do you think there's I'm sorry, just cut you off. 0:17:46.880 --> 0:17:48.280 Do you think there's going to be any teams that 0:17:48.359 --> 0:17:51.040 hold out on this open air stadium closed team? Like 0:17:51.119 --> 0:17:53.160 could you see green Baby? And like the last team 0:17:53.200 --> 0:17:55.280 with an open open stadium in thirty. 0:17:55.119 --> 0:17:59.960 Years Buffalo's building a new stadium, and Buffalo's new stadium 0:18:00.400 --> 0:18:02.760 doesn't have a roof, right, fact check me on that. 0:18:02.960 --> 0:18:05.240 Okay, that's good for something then. 0:18:05.359 --> 0:18:21.240 Yeah, yeah, and but and it's Buffalo, But I I 0:18:21.280 --> 0:18:24.280 don't know. The Chiefs playing in a dome feels weird 0:18:24.320 --> 0:18:26.600 to me. I'm sure I get used to it. And 0:18:26.400 --> 0:18:29.680 if and if Old Mahomes is just lighting people up, 0:18:30.160 --> 0:18:31.400 maybe I'll be fine with it. 0:18:33.040 --> 0:18:36.399 But maybe because I'm not a savant and like a 0:18:36.400 --> 0:18:39.960 football historian, I just don't see why you would want 0:18:40.080 --> 0:18:41.639 like and this is like I hear a lot of 0:18:41.640 --> 0:18:43.840 people that's their take. They want there to be snow, 0:18:44.119 --> 0:18:46.920 the incluent weather. Why would you not just want them 0:18:46.960 --> 0:18:49.240 to perform to their best ability like any other sport, 0:18:49.359 --> 0:18:50.320 Like I feel like there's no. 0:18:52.560 --> 0:18:58.040 Beau that's so that's where that's where I disagree with you. 0:18:58.040 --> 0:18:59.879 Know what you're saying, a lot of people feel that 0:19:03.920 --> 0:19:06.440 it just it just depends on how you look at it. 0:19:06.560 --> 0:19:11.000 I look at being great at football intrinsically, meaning that 0:19:11.040 --> 0:19:16.359 you can have different types of game plans and different 0:19:16.400 --> 0:19:20.800 abilities in different weather because I think that is part 0:19:20.840 --> 0:19:23.560 of building a team. I think part of building a 0:19:23.640 --> 0:19:27.920 team is teaching them how to exploit different weather conditions. 0:19:28.280 --> 0:19:31.800 I think that is as intrinsic to the game as 0:19:32.440 --> 0:19:35.960 kick returning, Like that's part of it. And I think 0:19:36.080 --> 0:19:39.880 removing it people a lot of people feel like, oh, 0:19:39.960 --> 0:19:43.280 you remove it and that then makes it more pure. 0:19:43.560 --> 0:19:47.480 I feel like it makes it less pure. And I 0:19:48.040 --> 0:19:52.960 understand in basketball that doesn't exist. Everything's the same, all 0:19:53.000 --> 0:19:53.240 of it. 0:19:53.359 --> 0:19:55.480 Like soccer. I mean, I don't know if they played it. 0:19:55.760 --> 0:19:58.520 Definitely they play soccer in the snow or like light snow. 0:19:58.560 --> 0:20:00.320 They obviously heavy rain. 0:20:01.000 --> 0:20:05.440 That's fair, but the soccer is an outdoor sport and 0:20:05.520 --> 0:20:10.720 being able to handle heat is a bigger thing in soccer. 0:20:10.600 --> 0:20:16.879 Like yeah, yeah, the yeah, yeah, I guess I'm always 0:20:16.920 --> 0:20:20.760 looking for the light show I've seeing these games. That's 0:20:20.840 --> 0:20:22.320 fair and by the way, that's the. 0:20:22.359 --> 0:20:25.320 Way the that's the way the NFL is moving that 0:20:25.600 --> 0:20:28.120 it just bums me out. I mean, but again, I'm 0:20:28.119 --> 0:20:29.240 a grand pall now. 0:20:29.440 --> 0:20:32.080 And I'm sorry to those historians that stuff is changing. 0:20:32.160 --> 0:20:34.359 No, it's fine. Just so many of the like the 0:20:34.440 --> 0:20:39.680 great moments in NFL history are playoff games in the elements, 0:20:40.160 --> 0:20:45.800 and that'll be a bummer for me. But you know, 0:20:47.119 --> 0:20:49.320 nothing to cry about. I just I don't love it. 0:20:51.200 --> 0:20:53.720 That to me matters a lot more than the fact 0:20:54.000 --> 0:20:57.399 that they're moving twenty minutes west across state lines. I 0:20:57.480 --> 0:20:59.359 want to know where I bet on sports during the 0:20:59.359 --> 0:21:02.359 holiday season.

Drake May was looking poor 0:22:29.640 --> 0:22:32.800 in the first half. Rallied Lamar Jackson came out of 0:22:32.800 --> 0:22:35.159 the game with I think like a rib injury. We 0:22:35.200 --> 0:22:37.280 lost the game. Now we have a seven percent chance 0:22:37.280 --> 0:22:41.040 of making the playoffs. Yeah yeah, how yea? Who do 0:22:41.080 --> 0:22:43.280 you think this is big wrong? The Ravens or Patriots? 0:22:43.680 --> 0:22:46.040 I think, well, listen, I think it's a Let me 0:22:46.080 --> 0:22:48.359 start with the Patriots. And what was I'm trying to 0:22:48.400 --> 0:22:50.640 remember because there was a clip from last week's show. 0:22:50.720 --> 0:22:53.760 Was it about Lamar? What was the clip? Maybe the 0:22:53.800 --> 0:22:57.240 producers saw it as well. There is a clip of 0:22:57.520 --> 0:23:00.440 I did some take that I don't even know if 0:23:00.440 --> 0:23:04.760 Demonse agreed with, but it was massively aggregated, and it 0:23:04.840 --> 0:23:08.040 was aggregated with Demnse and I split screen. And I 0:23:08.040 --> 0:23:11.360 always find this funny because I wasn't do you guys 0:23:11.400 --> 0:23:13.760 remember what I'm talking about? Was it my last week 0:23:14.680 --> 0:23:18.040 from it was from Thursday show. I can't even remember 0:23:18.040 --> 0:23:19.360 what we talked about on Thursday. 0:23:19.760 --> 0:23:24.960 But regardless Lamar's health, Nike will and sickness and stuff, Yeah, 0:23:25.240 --> 0:23:28.520 it was something else other than that. Probably That's why. 0:23:28.359 --> 0:23:30.359 I'm trying to remember what our If I had our 0:23:30.440 --> 0:23:32.320 rundown from last week in front of me, I could 0:23:32.440 --> 0:23:34.240 I could think of it. I'm trying to think if 0:23:34.280 --> 0:23:37.119 it's Lamar because the reason I thought of that is 0:23:37.160 --> 0:23:41.600 it might happen again this week, but uh the let's 0:23:41.600 --> 0:23:44.439 start with the Patriots. I think that was a growing 0:23:44.520 --> 0:23:45.320 up moment for. 0:23:47.400 --> 0:23:48.000 Drake Drake. 0:23:49.119 --> 0:23:53.560 I think that Drake was playing one of his worst 0:23:53.560 --> 0:23:59.080 games of the year and for him to rally the 0:23:59.080 --> 0:24:03.399 way he did and make the I mean, he obviously 0:24:03.480 --> 0:24:05.920 had the one great deep pass that was robbed from 0:24:06.000 --> 0:24:09.040 him on the miss DPI, but didn't matter. He had 0:24:09.080 --> 0:24:11.800 already the touchdown passing threw to the front corner of 0:24:11.800 --> 0:24:18.640 the M zone. Yeah, was unbelievable. I thought that was great, 0:24:18.920 --> 0:24:24.679 and I I think that on top of that, uh, 0:24:25.560 --> 0:24:28.480 hold on, I think Paul just texted to me, Oh, 0:24:28.600 --> 0:24:32.800 this is what it was. Sorry, it was the thank you, Paul. 0:24:33.280 --> 0:24:36.080 It was the whimby stuff. It was me saying I 0:24:36.080 --> 0:24:37.400 don't need to be lectured. 0:24:37.040 --> 0:24:38.560 By a twenty year old French kid. 0:24:39.200 --> 0:24:42.199 That the people got super mad at that take and 0:24:42.280 --> 0:24:46.360 you're just sitting there like listening. It's just super funny. 0:24:47.640 --> 0:24:51.960 Thank you, Paul. The no the people got mad at 0:24:52.040 --> 0:24:56.160 I think my Lamar h takes from TV. But sorry, 0:24:56.200 --> 0:25:01.840 I'm interrupting myself. I thought the Drake may touchdown pass 0:25:02.119 --> 0:25:05.280 was unbuild. The bomb was unbelievable. The fourth and two 0:25:05.359 --> 0:25:08.879 play which kept them alive to go win the game. 0:25:09.160 --> 0:25:10.840 It was just past the sideline, but it was an 0:25:10.880 --> 0:25:13.880 absolute laser that I thought was gonna be knocked down. 0:25:14.200 --> 0:25:17.200 He was excellent, and Drake made is the real deal. 0:25:17.920 --> 0:25:24.520 He is the real and uh, the Patriots they had 0:25:24.560 --> 0:25:27.439 to win that game because while I thought sometimes the 0:25:27.520 --> 0:25:31.760 schedule stuff got a little overblown, if they had played 0:25:31.760 --> 0:25:35.960 that soft schedule and then lost to Buffalo and Baltimore, 0:25:36.720 --> 0:25:39.280 it'd be like, Okay, you know what I mean. They're uh, 0:25:40.040 --> 0:25:44.960 they're a real Yeah, they're oh, they're ahead of schedule. 0:25:45.359 --> 0:25:49.399 They're better than all the JV teams, but they're not 0:25:49.960 --> 0:25:54.240 an A lister, And I think they proved they're A listers. 0:25:54.280 --> 0:25:58.040 And so I think that is that's the Patriots piece 0:25:58.040 --> 0:26:00.000 of it. And they've got. 0:26:00.040 --> 0:26:02.320 They got their quarterback. The guy looks like. I think 0:26:02.359 --> 0:26:03.760 that guy's gonna be in the league for a really 0:26:03.840 --> 0:26:10.480 really long time. Yeah, yeah, I solid, man. 0:26:10.560 --> 0:26:14.880 I think he is just going to be a top 0:26:14.920 --> 0:26:20.119 five quarterback moving forward. He's legit. He is, without a 0:26:20.160 --> 0:26:25.320 doubt legit. And then you get to the Ravens and 0:26:27.840 --> 0:26:32.680 there's a lot here they blew another big lead. Everyone's 0:26:32.680 --> 0:26:38.160 blaming Harball. They didn't give the ball to they didn't 0:26:38.160 --> 0:26:42.119 have Derrick Henry on the field for their last two possessions. 0:26:42.280 --> 0:26:48.880 People are understandably blaming Harball. Another can I call it 0:26:49.680 --> 0:26:55.640 without people freaking out? Weird injury thing with Lamar I do. 0:26:55.760 --> 0:26:58.160
