I 178 00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:46,760 Speaker 1: gotta go out to the game. 179 00:08:46,800 --> 00:08:49,040 Speaker 3: The sun came out from the galaxy and threw out 180 00:08:49,040 --> 00:08:49,640 Speaker 3: a first pitch. 181 00:08:50,120 --> 00:08:53,600 Speaker 1: Big deal. Now, another big story that broke right before 182 00:08:53,600 --> 00:08:54,960 Speaker 1: we got him there about an hour a little bit 183 00:08:55,040 --> 00:08:56,839 Speaker 1: less than hours before we got on the air tonight 184 00:08:57,360 --> 00:09:01,079 Speaker 1: is uh. South Carolina women's basketball coach on Staley talked 185 00:09:01,120 --> 00:09:04,920 Speaker 1: about the possibility that she may have had this past 186 00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:07,959 Speaker 1: off season in coaching the Knicks. Remember, she had an 187 00:09:07,960 --> 00:09:10,840 Speaker 1: interview with the team. The Knicks obviously went with Mike Brown, 188 00:09:11,280 --> 00:09:14,040 Speaker 1: but she said today she had a podcast with Aliah 189 00:09:14,080 --> 00:09:17,320 Speaker 1: Boston and Kennis Parker and said if the Knicks offered 190 00:09:17,320 --> 00:09:19,800 Speaker 1: her the job, she would have taken it. Quote, I 191 00:09:19,840 --> 00:09:22,120 Speaker 1: would have had to do it, not just for me, 192 00:09:22,520 --> 00:09:25,200 Speaker 1: for women to break that door open. I would have 193 00:09:25,280 --> 00:09:28,920 Speaker 1: had to. It's the Knicks. I'm from Philly. Sorry, sorry 194 00:09:28,960 --> 00:09:31,800 Speaker 1: you got swept. I'm from Philly, But it's the freaking 195 00:09:31,920 --> 00:09:34,560 Speaker 1: New York Knicks. Right now, is This is a great 196 00:09:34,559 --> 00:09:38,720 Speaker 1: statement by down Staley because look, in my lifetime, I 197 00:09:38,720 --> 00:09:40,160 Speaker 1: mean I can't sit here and tell you in the 198 00:09:40,160 --> 00:09:43,000 Speaker 1: next three years, the next five years, but in my lifetime, 199 00:09:43,040 --> 00:09:45,240 Speaker 1: and I mean like in a time I think, before 200 00:09:46,160 --> 00:09:48,240 Speaker 1: you know, I get done and retire and all kinds 201 00:09:48,240 --> 00:09:51,960 Speaker 1: of stuff. In my working lifetime, I'll say, we're gonna 202 00:09:51,960 --> 00:09:55,800 Speaker 1: have a women's a women's coach in basketball in one 203 00:09:55,840 --> 00:09:58,719 Speaker 1: of the big professional sports, right but most likely in basketball, 204 00:09:58,760 --> 00:10:02,680 Speaker 1: we will have it. And it's about getting close and 205 00:10:02,720 --> 00:10:05,320 Speaker 1: then having the person to break through, like Becky Hammond 206 00:10:05,520 --> 00:10:08,320 Speaker 1: who was an assistant for San Antonio for the longest time. 207 00:10:08,320 --> 00:10:10,840 Speaker 1: And look, I really wonder if she was brought in 208 00:10:11,160 --> 00:10:14,280 Speaker 1: and the whole plan was going to be Pop was 209 00:10:14,320 --> 00:10:16,960 Speaker 1: gonna coach, and then eventually he was and Becky Hammon 210 00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:19,040 Speaker 1: was gonna be the team for so long that they 211 00:10:19,040 --> 00:10:21,079 Speaker 1: were just gonna it was gonna be an easy thing. Yes, 212 00:10:21,120 --> 00:10:23,400 Speaker 1: now Becky's the coach, okay, great, Like Becky's got the 213 00:10:23,400 --> 00:10:26,079 Speaker 1: culture and everything else. Now obviously things changed, Becky left 214 00:10:26,080 --> 00:10:28,640 Speaker 1: to go to the WNBA. Pop had to retire, he's 215 00:10:28,679 --> 00:10:32,040 Speaker 1: going upstairs. But you saw Becky Hammond get really close, right, 216 00:10:32,040 --> 00:10:34,040 Speaker 1: You saw Don Staley get an interview with the Knicks, 217 00:10:34,040 --> 00:10:36,360 Speaker 1: and there was no reason the Knicks had to interview 218 00:10:36,400 --> 00:10:38,679 Speaker 1: Dawn Staley. There was no one clamoring saying, how are 219 00:10:38,679 --> 00:10:40,360 Speaker 1: you not in you got to interview with That's just 220 00:10:40,400 --> 00:10:43,199 Speaker 1: not happening. They gave her an interview. She's a great coach. 221 00:10:43,480 --> 00:10:45,200 Speaker 1: You see your speak, you see your talk, you see 222 00:10:45,200 --> 00:10:47,600 Speaker 1: you're being an ambassador for the game of basketball. When 223 00:10:47,640 --> 00:10:50,400 Speaker 1: when they won the national title and she spent time 224 00:10:50,840 --> 00:10:53,640 Speaker 1: right after the game to salute Caitlin Clark and Iowa, 225 00:10:53,960 --> 00:10:56,760 Speaker 1: like that was an unbelievable, classy move to make right. 226 00:10:56,800 --> 00:10:59,560 Speaker 1: That was on the floor where you're this is your chance, 227 00:10:59,600 --> 00:11:02,040 Speaker 1: you're shine moment. I want to talk about Caitlin and 228 00:11:02,520 --> 00:11:05,040 Speaker 1: what's going on here, And that was an incredible moment 229 00:11:05,040 --> 00:11:07,400 Speaker 1: for her. You see the players what they say about her. 230 00:11:07,679 --> 00:11:10,280 Speaker 1: She was not brought in just say hey, this was Hey, 231 00:11:10,440 --> 00:11:13,640 Speaker 1: maybe Dawn Staley breaks through right, Like how Mike Tomlin 232 00:11:13,720 --> 00:11:15,960 Speaker 1: got the job with the with the Pittsburgh Steelers. He 233 00:11:16,040 --> 00:11:18,040 Speaker 1: wasn't a serious candidate when it first come in, but 234 00:11:18,120 --> 00:11:21,160 Speaker 1: the Rooney rule interviewing African American candidate, he came in 235 00:11:21,400 --> 00:11:23,640 Speaker 1: blew the doors off of the Steelers. Here he is 236 00:11:23,720 --> 00:11:27,640 Speaker 1: forty five years later, still coaching the Pittsburgh Steelers. Is 237 00:11:27,679 --> 00:11:31,520 Speaker 1: sometime before I'm done, there will be a women's coach, 238 00:11:31,600 --> 00:11:34,600 Speaker 1: and probably the NBA, just because they're the closest now, 239 00:11:34,960 --> 00:11:37,000 Speaker 1: is gonna be the first team to do it. I 240 00:11:37,040 --> 00:11:38,720 Speaker 1: don't know if it's gonna be in a big market 241 00:11:38,760 --> 00:11:41,679 Speaker 1: like New York, be a small market, smaller market like Sacramento, 242 00:11:41,880 --> 00:11:44,760 Speaker 1: but it's gonna have We're gonna see that at some point. 243 00:11:44,880 --> 00:11:47,160 Speaker 1: We are getting closer and closer to that with every day. 244 00:11:47,240 --> 00:11:52,640 Speaker 3: Yeah, the curiosity of the crossover, and it takes a 245 00:11:52,679 --> 00:11:58,320 Speaker 3: certain mentality and skill set to want to make that 246 00:11:58,440 --> 00:12:00,840 Speaker 3: leap as well. Right, you can be a great coach, uh, 247 00:12:00,840 --> 00:12:02,839 Speaker 3: but there's a lot more than just the coaching. And 248 00:12:03,160 --> 00:12:05,760 Speaker 3: that's what she alluded to, UH in the interview that 249 00:12:05,800 --> 00:12:08,240 Speaker 3: she asked a bunch of other questions about, all right, 250 00:12:08,240 --> 00:12:10,880 Speaker 3: how does things how do things change around here? Are 251 00:12:10,920 --> 00:12:14,240 Speaker 3: you prepared if I'm hired? What change is here? Here, here, 252 00:12:14,240 --> 00:12:17,000 Speaker 3: and here? And that's where you're gonna start getting the 253 00:12:17,040 --> 00:12:20,000 Speaker 3: glassed over kind of eyes of well, we hadn't considered 254 00:12:20,360 --> 00:12:23,079 Speaker 3: that that or that that are suddenly going to be 255 00:12:23,120 --> 00:12:26,280 Speaker 3: part of the day to day. So curiosity, you know, 256 00:12:26,679 --> 00:12:30,480 Speaker 3: talking about being on a staff and eventually moving into 257 00:12:30,520 --> 00:12:33,320 Speaker 3: that role. Coaches and waiting, well, those are rare because 258 00:12:33,400 --> 00:12:37,160 Speaker 3: you got very few organizations that really allow you, uh, 259 00:12:37,240 --> 00:12:41,760 Speaker 3: the the long place in an organization anymore. Even if 260 00:12:41,800 --> 00:12:45,480 Speaker 3: you're having success, we see owners getting patient gms that 261 00:12:45,520 --> 00:12:48,840 Speaker 3: want their guys because even if the coach stays, GM 262 00:12:48,920 --> 00:12:52,120 Speaker 3: cycles out and eventually, you know, if it gets a 263 00:12:52,120 --> 00:12:54,640 Speaker 3: bit stagnant, that that you're gonna move. And in the 264 00:12:54,720 --> 00:12:57,400 Speaker 3: case of Becky Hammond, it became a all right, he's 265 00:12:57,400 --> 00:12:58,880 Speaker 3: never leading. I mean, how many times do we see 266 00:12:58,880 --> 00:13:00,200 Speaker 3: that in college football? 267 00:13:00,360 --> 00:13:01,240 Speaker 1: Right? With men? 268 00:13:01,280 --> 00:13:03,840 Speaker 3: It's like, all right, you're the coach in waiting. All right, 269 00:13:03,880 --> 00:13:06,240 Speaker 3: I'm tired of waiting. It's been six years, it's been 270 00:13:06,280 --> 00:13:09,200 Speaker 3: eight years. You saw with Beheim. We saw it in 271 00:13:09,240 --> 00:13:12,559 Speaker 3: college football going down to Bobby Bowden and a bunch 272 00:13:12,600 --> 00:13:14,640 Speaker 3: of other guys, where it was like, is he ever 273 00:13:14,720 --> 00:13:18,880 Speaker 3: actually gonna leave? Is like, what's what's my endgame here? 274 00:13:19,280 --> 00:13:20,960 Speaker 3: Can you give me any assurances? And you can get 275 00:13:21,000 --> 00:13:23,400 Speaker 3: a higher pay raise and negotiate that and that's great, 276 00:13:23,679 --> 00:13:26,640 Speaker 3: and maybe you're slowly but surely resting control but eventually 277 00:13:26,920 --> 00:13:29,800 Speaker 3: you want the placard under your name to read head coach. 278 00:13:30,480 --> 00:13:36,440 Speaker 3: So for Dawn Staley, I I'd love to see more opportunity, uh, 279 00:13:36,600 --> 00:13:38,920 Speaker 3: and more of the questions being asked, and I'd love 280 00:13:38,960 --> 00:13:42,280 Speaker 3: to see some video from behind the scenes exactly how 281 00:13:42,360 --> 00:13:44,200 Speaker 3: that part of the interview process went. 282 00:13:44,280 --> 00:13:44,360 Speaker 4: Well. 283 00:13:44,400 --> 00:13:46,800 Speaker 1: Look, and that's part of it too, is that the NBA. 284 00:13:46,960 --> 00:13:49,680 Speaker 1: You talk about the one league that hey, we're gonna 285 00:13:49,679 --> 00:13:53,920 Speaker 1: interview coaches outside the box, right, that's the that's the NBA, right, 286 00:13:53,960 --> 00:13:56,200 Speaker 1: Like that's what they do.

We 369 00:17:34,720 --> 00:17:39,240 Speaker 1: have a big suspension, we have a big injury. What's 370 00:17:39,280 --> 00:17:42,600 Speaker 1: the impact we're now getting that every day at now 371 00:17:43,000 --> 00:17:46,160 Speaker 1: we're done. Teams are having their last practice before they 372 00:17:46,200 --> 00:17:48,960 Speaker 1: start their weeks, getting ready for their opponents in week one, 373 00:17:49,080 --> 00:17:52,040 Speaker 1: Like now the tunnel vision begins, and now where it's 374 00:17:52,080 --> 00:17:54,439 Speaker 1: all about week one and beyond week one and beyond 375 00:17:54,520 --> 00:17:55,240 Speaker 1: winning time. 376 00:17:55,320 --> 00:17:58,120 Speaker 3: Maybe let's go. We're finally through a lot of the 377 00:17:58,240 --> 00:18:02,040 Speaker 3: roster shuffling. People are ordering their custom jerseys because their 378 00:18:02,080 --> 00:18:05,399 Speaker 3: favorite guy, you know, made their team, didn't get traded, 379 00:18:05,600 --> 00:18:07,359 Speaker 3: except for that one guy that's still hanging out in 380 00:18:07,359 --> 00:18:07,800 Speaker 3: the battles. 381 00:18:07,840 --> 00:18:09,800 Speaker 1: But we'll get to him in due time. 382 00:18:09,880 --> 00:18:11,760 Speaker 3: But but all of that to say, I mean, it 383 00:18:11,840 --> 00:18:15,920 Speaker 3: was a fun day of activity and and and transactions. 384 00:18:16,240 --> 00:18:19,639 Speaker 1: So that's good. Every day inching ever closer to that 385 00:18:19,760 --> 00:18:25,040 Speaker 1: kickoff with the Cowboys, and you're eagle, get ready, get ready? 386 00:18:25,119 --> 00:18:28,000 Speaker 1: Maybe or maybe not Micah party now. And here's the thing, 387 00:18:29,080 --> 00:18:31,359 Speaker 1: we may not have any Micah Parsons news on the 388 00:18:31,359 --> 00:18:33,840 Speaker 1: show today. This may be a Micah Parsons free day 389 00:18:34,520 --> 00:18:37,000 Speaker 1: on Fox Sports. I almost wanted to go and try 390 00:18:37,040 --> 00:18:40,479 Speaker 1: to get through the four hours without even saying possible 391 00:18:40,480 --> 00:18:43,680 Speaker 1: if you just brought him up. But I'm saying there 392 00:18:43,720 --> 00:18:48,160 Speaker 1: may not be any but there's no news. Really, there's 393 00:18:48,200 --> 00:18:50,680 Speaker 1: no news. I'm telling telling you there's no news. Is 394 00:18:50,720 --> 00:18:53,080 Speaker 1: not news. You bringing them up, I'm bringing him up. 395 00:18:53,080 --> 00:18:56,120 Speaker 4: It's worthy because we don't talk about nothing's here. 396 00:18:56,200 --> 00:18:58,520 Speaker 1: There's no but there may be talked about the Mets 397 00:18:58,560 --> 00:19:02,159 Speaker 1: last segment, the hottest team in baseball. I regret everything 398 00:19:02,200 --> 00:19:07,679 Speaker 1: about it. We're all dumber for having done it. So okay, 399 00:19:07,720 --> 00:19:10,040 Speaker 1: Instead Frostburg, we're talking about the Chiefs. How's that? Is 400 00:19:10,040 --> 00:19:10,840 Speaker 1: that good? Is that good for you? 401 00:19:10,960 --> 00:19:14,720 Speaker 4: Oh ys? That wide receiver there is missing six games. 402 00:19:14,760 --> 00:19:17,520 Speaker 4: I'm cool, so big us. Of course, the NFL let 403 00:19:17,560 --> 00:19:19,159 Speaker 4: them off easy. It should have been the whole season. 404 00:19:20,000 --> 00:19:23,800 Speaker 1: I'm not thought. I thought it was a threezy but 405 00:19:23,920 --> 00:19:26,639 Speaker 1: three year Ben. I honestly thought for Rashie Rice that 406 00:19:26,680 --> 00:19:28,879 Speaker 1: the suspension came out today. We knew this was coming 407 00:19:29,640 --> 00:19:34,000 Speaker 1: for violating the NFL's Personal conduct policy. He has accepted 408 00:19:34,040 --> 00:19:37,840 Speaker 1: a six game suspension and he will bop on the 409 00:19:38,240 --> 00:19:41,639 Speaker 1: starting that at the beginning of the season, eligible to 410 00:19:41,640 --> 00:19:44,520 Speaker 1: return Week seven ahead of their game against the Raiders. 411 00:19:44,640 --> 00:19:45,600 Speaker 1: Raiders can't catch a brick. 412 00:19:46,119 --> 00:19:46,239 Speaker 2: Uh. 413 00:19:46,480 --> 00:19:49,880 Speaker 1: There had been a disciplinary hearing scheduled for September thirtieth, 414 00:19:49,920 --> 00:19:53,119 Speaker 1: But this is what Rashie Rice is taking in July. 415 00:19:53,200 --> 00:19:55,000 Speaker 1: I remember he was sentenced to thirty days in jail 416 00:19:55,040 --> 00:19:57,240 Speaker 1: in five years probation for his role in that multi 417 00:19:57,280 --> 00:19:59,400 Speaker 1: car crash in Dallas that left a lot of people 418 00:19:59,480 --> 00:20:03,000 Speaker 1: hurt during the twenty twenty four offseason. Now, honestly, I'm surprised. 419 00:20:03,040 --> 00:20:04,879 Speaker 1: I thought it was going to be four games. I 420 00:20:04,880 --> 00:20:06,400 Speaker 1: thought that's what it would wind up being, and they're 421 00:20:06,440 --> 00:20:09,840 Speaker 1: gonna the NFLPA would try to whittle it down, but 422 00:20:10,160 --> 00:20:12,680 Speaker 1: it's gonna be six games. Started the Seasonmber, we thought 423 00:20:12,720 --> 00:20:14,880 Speaker 1: it was going to be into October as well, like, so. 424 00:20:14,880 --> 00:20:16,679 Speaker 3: This is a lot wasn't going to have his hearing 425 00:20:17,240 --> 00:20:19,639 Speaker 3: and discussion points till the end of the month. So 426 00:20:19,680 --> 00:20:22,960 Speaker 3: that created a great deal of consternation because you'd add 427 00:20:23,040 --> 00:20:28,399 Speaker 3: other other suspensions announced when we go back to Jordan 428 00:20:28,440 --> 00:20:31,880 Speaker 3: Addison and others, but different parts of the rule book 429 00:20:32,080 --> 00:20:32,680 Speaker 3: at play. 430 00:20:32,800 --> 00:20:36,480 Speaker 1: So he's not going to appeal, meaning this is now set. 431 00:20:36,560 --> 00:20:38,960 Speaker 1: He's serving a six game suspension. He comes back before 432 00:20:39,040 --> 00:20:45,280 Speaker 1: Week seven and I'll be honest with you, it doesn't matter. Right, 433 00:20:45,400 --> 00:20:49,040 Speaker 1: this is not gonna change their offenses production this season. 434 00:20:49,040 --> 00:20:51,760 Speaker 1: I've told you this is the passion. This is well. 435 00:20:51,800 --> 00:20:53,440 Speaker 1: The refs is still there. I mean, the refs want 436 00:20:53,440 --> 00:20:55,639 Speaker 1: to be invited to the Kelsey and Teler Swift wedding, right, 437 00:20:55,680 --> 00:20:58,359 Speaker 1: so you know they're gonna happen. Just wait, I mean 438 00:20:58,400 --> 00:21:02,040 Speaker 1: you can't crush that. They're all ready practicing calling late hits. 439 00:21:02,240 --> 00:21:04,800 Speaker 1: They're on late hits on defense. They're making sure, Okay, 440 00:21:04,800 --> 00:21:06,879 Speaker 1: where are the defensive ends? Where making sure? How do 441 00:21:06,880 --> 00:21:09,360 Speaker 1: we call late hits? Yeah? 442 00:21:09,359 --> 00:21:12,119 Speaker 3: I mean I say they're better as ushers and efficients 443 00:21:12,240 --> 00:21:14,560 Speaker 3: that way, right, So, I mean they're making sure you 444 00:21:14,600 --> 00:21:18,120 Speaker 3: get to your proper spot and location in the seeding chart. 445 00:21:18,160 --> 00:21:20,960 Speaker 1: But you know it all works. The Patrick Mahomes middle 446 00:21:20,960 --> 00:21:24,639 Speaker 1: Finger Tour is going to play well this season. Whether 447 00:21:24,720 --> 00:21:28,240 Speaker 1: Rashie Rice is playing Week one or not. This is 448 00:21:28,280 --> 00:21:30,960 Speaker 1: a wide receiver room that finally we've talked about. This 449 00:21:31,160 --> 00:21:33,399 Speaker 1: is the healthiest that it has been right now. Obviously 450 00:21:33,520 --> 00:21:35,200 Speaker 1: Rice is out the first six weeks, but you knew 451 00:21:35,240 --> 00:21:37,720 Speaker 1: he was gonna he was gonna miss some time. But 452 00:21:38,040 --> 00:21:41,080 Speaker 1: this is this is worthy. Xavier worthy. You had a 453 00:21:41,080 --> 00:21:43,240 Speaker 1: really good rookie year last year, second year in the league, 454 00:21:43,359 --> 00:21:46,639 Speaker 1: Hollywood Brown healthy, you got fort and Juju Smith Schuster. 455 00:21:46,720 --> 00:21:48,879 Speaker 1: Still Travis Kelcey and what likely is going to be 456 00:21:48,960 --> 00:21:51,040 Speaker 1: his last year in the NFL going all to the 457 00:21:51,080 --> 00:21:55,040 Speaker 1: wall for my final year before h Come on, dude, 458 00:21:55,080 --> 00:21:57,480 Speaker 1: the guy. The guy showed that, Hey, maybe I have 459 00:21:57,520 --> 00:21:59,800 Speaker 1: one more year. Maybe I have one more year. Hey, 460 00:21:59,840 --> 00:22:02,439 Speaker 1: now I could be the goat at my position. You 461 00:22:02,480 --> 00:22:04,760 Speaker 1: saw what happened to Tom. Are you gonna force me 462 00:22:04,840 --> 00:22:06,960 Speaker 1: off this field? No, you're not gonna try to force 463 00:22:07,000 --> 00:22:08,560 Speaker 1: me off this The dude doesn't have time. The dog 464 00:22:08,640 --> 00:22:10,440 Speaker 1: does time to play football with everything going I just 465 00:22:10,760 --> 00:22:12,680 Speaker 1: with his podcast and his marriage, and is like he 466 00:22:12,680 --> 00:22:14,520 Speaker 1: doesn't have time. This is it. This is last time. 467 00:22:14,760 --> 00:22:16,639 Speaker 1: He even say he said last year, I can't go 468 00:22:16,720 --> 00:22:19,119 Speaker 1: out like this the year he had, I can't go 469 00:22:19,200 --> 00:22:19,680 Speaker 1: out like that. 470 00:22:19,720 --> 00:22:20,640 Speaker 4: You will, which was. 471 00:22:20,640 --> 00:22:24,040 Speaker 3: Overall a pretty good year for a tight end, just 472 00:22:24,119 --> 00:22:25,879 Speaker 3: not a tight end named Travis Kelcey. 473 00:22:26,000 --> 00:22:28,280 Speaker 1: But you know, we talked about you know, Pete Futech, 474 00:22:28,280 --> 00:22:30,800 Speaker 1: who's gonna join us Friday night to preview football. We 475 00:22:30,840 --> 00:22:33,439 Speaker 1: talked about his thoughts on the University of Texas, Right, 476 00:22:33,480 --> 00:22:35,760 Speaker 1: big Texas Ohio State game coming this week, And he 477 00:22:35,800 --> 00:22:38,919 Speaker 1: said last week, I am stock up on arch Manning, 478 00:22:38,920 --> 00:22:41,639 Speaker 1: but I'm stocked down on Texas because Texas schedule is 479 00:22:41,680 --> 00:22:44,080 Speaker 1: really difficult. They stud their toe can easily lose Week 480 00:22:44,119 --> 00:22:46,720 Speaker 1: one and on and on. That's how I feel about 481 00:22:46,720 --> 00:22:49,760 Speaker 1: the Chiefs this year. I'm stock up on Mahomes all 482 00:22:49,800 --> 00:22:52,000 Speaker 1: the way up, but I'm stocked down on the Chiefs. 483 00:22:52,000 --> 00:22:55,080 Speaker 1: The division is younger, it's more athletic, the teams are better. 484 00:22:55,320 --> 00:22:57,000 Speaker 1: It's gonna be a fight just for them to get 485 00:22:57,000 --> 00:22:59,359 Speaker 1: a wild card this year. Right that the dynasty and 486 00:22:59,400 --> 00:23:02,080 Speaker 1: we talked about Kansas City. You are seeing the ending 487 00:23:02,200 --> 00:23:06,399 Speaker 1: embers of it now. But this offensive production you're gonna see. 488 00:23:06,600 --> 00:23:09,240 Speaker 1: Mahomes has been waiting. It's been two years of being 489 00:23:09,280 --> 00:23:12,160 Speaker 1: a game manager. He's not like he's thirty seven, thirty 490 00:23:12,200 --> 00:23:14,080 Speaker 1: eight years old where I have to move to that 491 00:23:14,160 --> 00:23:16,639 Speaker 1: part of my career. It just had to be a 492 00:23:16,680 --> 00:23:19,840 Speaker 1: point where hey, my weapons are healthy again, right, and 493 00:23:19,880 --> 00:23:21,600 Speaker 1: I can still get out there, I can still spray 494 00:23:21,640 --> 00:23:23,879 Speaker 1: the ball over the field. I can't just throw anybody, 495 00:23:23,920 --> 00:23:26,240 Speaker 1: you know. For a couple of years, the Chiefs thought, yeah, 496 00:23:26,240 --> 00:23:27,920 Speaker 1: we don't need Tyreek Hill. We don't need these guys. 497 00:23:28,000 --> 00:23:30,040 Speaker 1: We can just throw anybody out there and Mahomes are 498 00:23:30,040 --> 00:23:30,600 Speaker 1: gonna be great. 499 00:23:30,600 --> 00:23:30,679 Speaker 2: No. 500 00:23:30,760 --> 00:23:33,440 Speaker 1: I think we saw when Tyreek Hill left, Hey, Mahomes 501 00:23:33,440 --> 00:23:36,280 Speaker 1: still struggled. The team was still good. Team won a 502 00:23:36,280 --> 00:23:39,080 Speaker 1: Super Bowl with Mahomes being a game manager. So okay, 503 00:23:39,400 --> 00:23:41,919 Speaker 1: but af far as this year. Now, Hey, the weapons 504 00:23:41,960 --> 00:23:44,160 Speaker 1: are there, but the other teams are better. I don't 505 00:23:44,160 --> 00:23:47,040 Speaker 1: know the Chiefs have gotten so much better. They'll score 506 00:23:47,119 --> 00:23:48,800 Speaker 1: a ton of points, but they're gonna be one of 507 00:23:48,800 --> 00:23:51,719 Speaker 1: those teams where, hey, don't get an aerial dogfight with them. Right, 508 00:23:51,760 --> 00:23:53,199 Speaker 1: that's gonna be the thing for the Chiefs. But this 509 00:23:53,320 --> 00:23:56,160 Speaker 1: year for Mahomes with all his players, with the weapons 510 00:23:56,160 --> 00:23:58,359 Speaker 1: out there, finally what he thought Hollywood Brown is what 511 00:23:58,400 --> 00:24:00,280 Speaker 1: they thought he was gonna be when they first signed Xavi. 512 00:24:00,320 --> 00:24:02,280 Speaker 1: Youre worthy a second year in the offense. Now you're 513 00:24:02,320 --> 00:24:04,359 Speaker 1: bringing Juju Smith Schuster back to a team where he's 514 00:24:04,400 --> 00:24:06,960 Speaker 1: familiar with the system. Thornton's had some big play so 515 00:24:07,040 --> 00:24:10,120 Speaker 1: far in the preseason. Right, Kelsey a tight end, You 516 00:24:10,119 --> 00:24:12,560 Speaker 1: you have what you need on that team. And now 517 00:24:12,640 --> 00:24:16,240 Speaker 1: this is the best weapons room that the Chiefs have 518 00:24:16,320 --> 00:24:19,720 Speaker 1: had in three years. Patrick Mahomes is back to being 519 00:24:19,720 --> 00:24:22,400 Speaker 1: Patrick Holmes. The middle Finger tour continues for Mahomes this year. Yeah, 520 00:24:22,400 --> 00:24:25,520 Speaker 1: what's gonna be interesting to watch as this develops. Right, 521 00:24:25,600 --> 00:24:28,440 Speaker 1: you've got continuity in an offensive line. You return virtually 522 00:24:28,480 --> 00:24:31,600 Speaker 1: your entire starting line. Great, always a good starting point 523 00:24:31,600 --> 00:24:34,359 Speaker 1: because there's plenty of teams we'll be talking about leading 524 00:24:34,440 --> 00:24:38,600 Speaker 1: up to kick off a week from tomorrow. That that's 525 00:24:38,800 --> 00:24:41,560 Speaker 1: the biggest area of concern, Right, can you address this? 526 00:24:41,960 --> 00:24:45,479 Speaker 3: How does that front five coalesce? Well? For Patrick Mahomes, 527 00:24:45,520 --> 00:24:48,080 Speaker 3: we watched last year Rashie Rice missed a good chunk 528 00:24:48,080 --> 00:24:50,280 Speaker 3: of the year. It didn't matter, right, next man up 529 00:24:50,760 --> 00:24:52,840 Speaker 3: and we watch worthy the second half of the year. 530 00:24:52,880 --> 00:24:55,440 Speaker 3: Started to get in Hollywood Brown if he's healthy, which 531 00:24:55,440 --> 00:24:57,680 Speaker 3: has been the big knock the last couple of years. Right, 532 00:24:57,720 --> 00:25:02,159 Speaker 3: he great flashes, great depth receiver and a guy that 533 00:25:02,200 --> 00:25:04,200 Speaker 3: can take it to the house. Well, we got to 534 00:25:04,240 --> 00:25:06,640 Speaker 3: keep him on the field. So training room, it's all 535 00:25:06,680 --> 00:25:09,359 Speaker 3: on you, Juju Thornton. You brought up all of those guys. 536 00:25:09,359 --> 00:25:11,760 Speaker 3: You got Noah Gray there the tight end and waiting 537 00:25:12,000 --> 00:25:14,119 Speaker 3: who will have his share of catches in between the 538 00:25:14,160 --> 00:25:16,159 Speaker 3: twenties Now it's a matter of what you find in 539 00:25:16,200 --> 00:25:19,360 Speaker 3: the painted grass. The key with the Chiefs doall of it. 540 00:25:19,400 --> 00:25:23,760 Speaker 3: Is two teams in the AFC West, by the odds 541 00:25:23,760 --> 00:25:26,679 Speaker 3: makers and by all eye tests, are catching up. 542 00:25:28,080 --> 00:25:28,720 Speaker 1: In short order. 543 00:25:29,359 --> 00:25:32,200 Speaker 3: Talk about the Chargers and the expectation of that next 544 00:25:32,320 --> 00:25:35,960 Speaker 3: leap forward. Justin Herbert, whatever some of the metrics say 545 00:25:36,000 --> 00:25:38,679 Speaker 3: about fourth quarters and whatever else, he's a guy that 546 00:25:38,960 --> 00:25:42,359 Speaker 3: he is now becoming your quarterback's favorite quarterback. Now he's 547 00:25:42,400 --> 00:25:45,240 Speaker 3: got to show it with Jim Harbaugh at the helm. 548 00:25:45,560 --> 00:25:48,760 Speaker 3: And then you look at what's going on in Denver, 549 00:25:48,840 --> 00:25:51,240 Speaker 3: a team that is getting a lot of noise, a 550 00:25:51,240 --> 00:25:54,000 Speaker 3: lot of love. Bo Nicks was a guy finished what 551 00:25:54,280 --> 00:25:57,680 Speaker 3: twelfth or back end top ten in terms of yardage 552 00:25:57,680 --> 00:26:01,440 Speaker 3: a year ago, and they're only better better back room defense, 553 00:26:01,480 --> 00:26:06,240 Speaker 3: which is top three and by any anybody's evaluation coming in. 554 00:26:06,520 --> 00:26:08,080 Speaker 3: And then you got the Raiders who are going to 555 00:26:08,119 --> 00:26:10,399 Speaker 3: be just good enough to piss you off over the 556 00:26:10,440 --> 00:26:12,440 Speaker 3: course of the year. Right, they'll steal the game or two, 557 00:26:12,640 --> 00:26:16,359 Speaker 3: or test you deep into fourth quarters that maybe you 558 00:26:16,440 --> 00:26:19,880 Speaker 3: see some residual effects in a game off a short 559 00:26:19,920 --> 00:26:22,200 Speaker 3: week whatever else. But but all of that to say 560 00:26:22,240 --> 00:26:25,640 Speaker 3: fifty two percent to win the division. Off the current odds, 561 00:26:25,640 --> 00:26:28,359 Speaker 3: you're still looking at an over under win total into 562 00:26:28,440 --> 00:26:32,080 Speaker 3: the double digits. For Patrick Mahomes, Yeah, I think there's 563 00:26:32,200 --> 00:26:34,520 Speaker 3: a lot of noise because remember it started getting really 564 00:26:34,560 --> 00:26:37,440 Speaker 3: loud about that he's nowhere near Brady. Now it's back. 565 00:26:37,680 --> 00:26:39,600 Speaker 3: He's just a guy. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, you turn 566 00:26:40,720 --> 00:26:43,280 Speaker 3: you add all of those things that are going on. 567 00:26:43,440 --> 00:26:45,480 Speaker 3: Travis Kelsey had to hear it and he wore it, 568 00:26:45,600 --> 00:26:49,639 Speaker 3: and he's dating and and now he's engaged with Taylor Swift. 569 00:26:49,680 --> 00:26:52,520 Speaker 3: So I don't know how much that truly affected him 570 00:26:52,560 --> 00:26:55,919 Speaker 3: mentally in the offseason. Mean, you're in love, man, that'll 571 00:26:55,920 --> 00:26:58,520 Speaker 3: cloud a lot of things. Make you feel like you've 572 00:26:58,520 --> 00:27:02,000 Speaker 3: been drinking jack and coke all morning. Yeah yeah, and 573 00:27:02,080 --> 00:27:05,040 Speaker 3: beautiful girls, but you know, all of those things to say, 574 00:27:05,119 --> 00:27:08,240 Speaker 3: you got the division coming at you in the AFCs. Uh, 575 00:27:08,280 --> 00:27:11,920 Speaker 3: there's they're not slouches throughout that conference, so it'll be 576 00:27:11,960 --> 00:27:15,360 Speaker 3: a tougher road. But uh, probably the best supporting cast 577 00:27:15,440 --> 00:27:18,120 Speaker 3: he's had in three years. And eventually Rashie Rice will 578 00:27:18,160 --> 00:27:19,280 Speaker 3: get back on the field. 579 00:27:19,680 --> 00:27:24,240 Speaker 1: Meanwhile, big injury news in Houston. Now suddenly the Texans 580 00:27:24,920 --> 00:27:28,800 Speaker 1: don't know when Joe Mixon is going to play this season, 581 00:27:29,400 --> 00:27:32,240 Speaker 1: you know, obviously a big deal. You know, the other 582 00:27:32,400 --> 00:27:34,480 Speaker 1: the other day that the story was, hey, he's gonna 583 00:27:34,480 --> 00:27:36,000 Speaker 1: miss the first four games, right with teams had to 584 00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:37,600 Speaker 1: get down to their roster's gonna miss the first four 585 00:27:37,640 --> 00:27:39,800 Speaker 1: games of the year. Okay, we're seeing the running game 586 00:27:39,840 --> 00:27:41,560 Speaker 1: in the hands now, Nick Chubb, is there still a 587 00:27:41,640 --> 00:27:44,199 Speaker 1: gunba Wally is there? Okay? Fine? Uh, you know they 588 00:27:44,280 --> 00:27:46,280 Speaker 1: drafted a guy in the fourth round two, Okay, we have. 589 00:27:47,160 --> 00:27:49,680 Speaker 1: But now today it was we're hoping to get him back. 590 00:27:49,760 --> 00:27:53,600 Speaker 1: They they couldn't say when he's going to come back 591 00:27:53,680 --> 00:27:56,159 Speaker 1: to play this season. And again I'll say what I 592 00:27:56,200 --> 00:27:59,920 Speaker 1: said a couple of minutes ago. Doesn't matter. Texans bound 593 00:28:00,160 --> 00:28:03,680 Speaker 1: back offensively and it and it doesn't matter because they 594 00:28:03,720 --> 00:28:07,720 Speaker 1: are so defensive line and defensive back driven. You look 595 00:28:07,760 --> 00:28:10,640 Speaker 1: at any of the analysis of their defense, and their 596 00:28:10,640 --> 00:28:13,440 Speaker 1: defensive line and defensive backfield are in the top three 597 00:28:13,480 --> 00:28:17,040 Speaker 1: of anybody's list. This is a huge bounce back year 598 00:28:17,440 --> 00:28:21,719 Speaker 1: for Houston. And offensively, yes, CJ. Strouds terrific quarterback. They 599 00:28:21,760 --> 00:28:24,439 Speaker 1: have depth offensively, even though they're trying to overcome injuries. Look, 600 00:28:24,480 --> 00:28:26,040 Speaker 1: Tank Della's out for the year, but they brought in 601 00:28:26,080 --> 00:28:29,000 Speaker 1: a couple of receivers and it look Nico Collins is fantastic. 602 00:28:30,080 --> 00:28:34,399 Speaker 1: It's not a great division. I distinctly expect at the 603 00:28:34,560 --> 00:28:37,359 Speaker 1: end of the season the Texans to have home field 604 00:28:37,400 --> 00:28:41,200 Speaker 1: advantage in the playoffs, simply because their division is the 605 00:28:41,200 --> 00:28:44,400 Speaker 1: path of least resistance to winning and having the best record. 606 00:28:44,720 --> 00:28:48,200 Speaker 1: AFC West, they're gonna They're gonna all gonna cannibalize themselves, right, 607 00:28:48,240 --> 00:28:50,400 Speaker 1: same thing in the in the AFC North with the 608 00:28:50,400 --> 00:28:52,480 Speaker 1: Steelers and the Bengals, I mean, not the Browns and 609 00:28:52,520 --> 00:28:53,040 Speaker 1: the Ravens. 610 00:28:53,360 --> 00:28:53,479 Speaker 3: Uh. 611 00:28:53,640 --> 00:28:56,560 Speaker 1: The South is there, and the AFC East will be 612 00:28:56,600 --> 00:28:59,320 Speaker 1: tougher for the Bills, who will be this is one 613 00:28:59,320 --> 00:29:02,480 Speaker 1: of those years where hey, we're sort of playing the 614 00:29:02,520 --> 00:29:05,600 Speaker 1: AFC Championship game again during the season. I think that 615 00:29:05,680 --> 00:29:07,800 Speaker 1: division is gonna be a little bit tougher than they expect, 616 00:29:08,080 --> 00:29:10,400 Speaker 1: And for the Bills, who have been there so many times, 617 00:29:10,440 --> 00:29:13,920 Speaker 1: it's hard to keep that focused through the entire regular season, 618 00:29:13,960 --> 00:29:16,040 Speaker 1: where hey want to make sure the games are at home. 619 00:29:16,040 --> 00:29:17,840 Speaker 1: We're gonna play at home all here. I think it'll 620 00:29:17,880 --> 00:29:19,240 Speaker 1: be a little bit too tough for the Bills and 621 00:29:19,360 --> 00:29:22,000 Speaker 1: easier for the Texans to be able to run rough 622 00:29:22,000 --> 00:29:24,400 Speaker 1: shot over that division. I expect them to have home 623 00:29:24,440 --> 00:29:26,720 Speaker 1: field advantage at the end of the season. That's funny 624 00:29:26,720 --> 00:29:28,280 Speaker 1: because I have him missing the playoffs. 625 00:29:28,280 --> 00:29:28,920 Speaker 2: So there you go. 626 00:29:29,040 --> 00:29:31,240 Speaker 3: There you go, because I think the rest of the teams, 627 00:29:31,720 --> 00:29:33,920 Speaker 3: going with what we just said about the ANFC West, 628 00:29:33,960 --> 00:29:36,480 Speaker 3: is that the other teams in the division start to 629 00:29:36,480 --> 00:29:38,760 Speaker 3: come back at him. You don't have the depth that 630 00:29:38,840 --> 00:29:42,160 Speaker 3: wide receiver. The running back position will be fine. Nick Chubb, 631 00:29:42,840 --> 00:29:46,360 Speaker 3: Damian Pierce, Woody Marx is a guy that started flying 632 00:29:46,440 --> 00:29:48,600 Speaker 3: up fantasy draft boards. So that's all find of good. 633 00:29:48,720 --> 00:29:52,480 Speaker 3: The offensive line still scares me. They still rank last 634 00:29:52,600 --> 00:29:56,400 Speaker 3: by a considerable margin in terms of what they gave 635 00:29:56,600 --> 00:30:01,440 Speaker 3: last year. That really created issues for the timing down 636 00:30:01,480 --> 00:30:04,120 Speaker 3: distance for CJ. Stroud, and he didn't have his his 637 00:30:04,600 --> 00:30:09,200 Speaker 3: escape plans last year with the receivers outside of Nico Collins, 638 00:30:09,320 --> 00:30:11,800 Speaker 3: and I don't know that he necessarily has those this year, 639 00:30:11,920 --> 00:30:15,560 Speaker 3: So tough go. I expect better from cam Ward Duval 640 00:30:16,680 --> 00:30:19,040 Speaker 3: rises and actually we get some competent play on both 641 00:30:19,080 --> 00:30:20,960 Speaker 3: sides of the ball there in Jacksonville. 642 00:30:21,320 --> 00:30:21,480 Speaker 1: Uh. 643 00:30:21,480 --> 00:30:25,880 Speaker 3: And then we both talked about the Colts. Like the Colts. Yeah, 644 00:30:25,880 --> 00:30:27,200 Speaker 3: I liked I like Drake. 645 00:30:27,560 --> 00:30:29,640 Speaker 1: I like the Colts to make one of those, like 646 00:30:29,680 --> 00:30:32,440 Speaker 1: I said, to make one of those, hey wild cardish 647 00:30:32,480 --> 00:30:35,080 Speaker 1: runs right to do that. And like I said, the 648 00:30:35,120 --> 00:30:38,400 Speaker 1: other divisions man AFC North and the AFC Westman, they're 649 00:30:38,440 --> 00:30:39,680 Speaker 1: gonna beat the crap out of him. 650 00:30:40,080 --> 00:30:44,320 Speaker 3: That's why have home field advantage, because your team still 651 00:30:44,400 --> 00:30:48,240 Speaker 3: stinks no matter what's gonna be, We're gonna we're every 652 00:30:48,280 --> 00:30:50,400 Speaker 3: game like Rabel's gonna beat everybody up. 653 00:30:50,440 --> 00:30:52,400 Speaker 1: We're gonna run for two hundred and fifty yards.

I don't think they're actually the Angels though. 803 00:37:55,840 --> 00:37:57,920 Speaker 1: I don't think the Angels are actually using a position player. 804 00:37:57,960 --> 00:37:59,480 Speaker 1: I think they are hitting off a team out of 805 00:37:59,520 --> 00:38:06,560 Speaker 1: this playing right now, it's coach pitch. My new idol 806 00:38:07,080 --> 00:38:13,200 Speaker 1: is the now retired Ralphie the sixth, the Colorado Buffalo's mascot, 807 00:38:13,440 --> 00:38:15,919 Speaker 1: who was announced was retiring to the mascot that runs 808 00:38:15,960 --> 00:38:17,480 Speaker 1: on the field of games and running on the field 809 00:38:17,520 --> 00:38:21,800 Speaker 1: for years.

That's why 814 00:38:36,239 --> 00:38:40,520 Speaker 1: he is retiring. I choose to run the quote. Ralphie 815 00:38:40,520 --> 00:38:43,360 Speaker 1: would rather walk in the meadow and sniff the flowers 816 00:38:43,400 --> 00:38:46,040 Speaker 1: and relax, which is his right, you sugar, not his dad. 817 00:38:46,160 --> 00:38:48,560 Speaker 1: So there is a new Ralphie, Ralphie this up, which 818 00:38:48,600 --> 00:38:52,040 Speaker 1: will be taking the field for Colorado.
