He never suffered 20 00:01:16,959 --> 00:01:22,240 Speaker 2: a single injury of any sort playing sports or otherwise. 21 00:01:22,840 --> 00:01:26,000 Speaker 2: And then, kind of heartbreakingly if you ask me, his 22 00:01:26,040 --> 00:01:28,160 Speaker 2: body kind of betrayed him over the last five years. 23 00:01:28,200 --> 00:01:29,480 Speaker 3: He's suffered a couple. 24 00:01:29,800 --> 00:01:33,960 Speaker 2: Very significant injuries in college, got hurt post college, and 25 00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:39,720 Speaker 2: now playing ball in LA hurt his ankle pretty badly. 26 00:01:39,760 --> 00:01:42,880 Speaker 2: And so we wish Demonse our best. He's going to 27 00:01:42,920 --> 00:01:46,360 Speaker 2: get the news on that tomorrow and hopefully he can 28 00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:49,560 Speaker 2: be back sometime soon.

Joe is right now at the Borgatta in 43 00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:45,400 Speaker 2: a multi day five thousand dollars buy in tournament.

They get the cards in the 50 00:03:10,880 --> 00:03:13,160 Speaker 2: air in about ninety minutes. I wish I could go 51 00:03:13,240 --> 00:03:16,560 Speaker 2: down and watch him, but I have the show. The 52 00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:20,760 Speaker 2: final table will be streamed tomorrow.

And actually, 55 00:03:28,880 --> 00:03:31,480 Speaker 2: since I know he's prepping, if we could clip this 56 00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:33,480 Speaker 2: little section, if you guys could send it to me, 57 00:03:33,520 --> 00:03:35,600 Speaker 2: I want to text it to him before the cards 58 00:03:35,640 --> 00:03:37,760 Speaker 2: get in the air. But we have a ton of 59 00:03:37,880 --> 00:03:40,640 Speaker 2: actual work to do today. Here is what missed the 60 00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:44,240 Speaker 2: cut for today's show. Te Pain do It halftime show 61 00:03:44,240 --> 00:03:47,800 Speaker 2: for Kansity Baltimore. I want to be on the record, 62 00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:51,400 Speaker 2: I'm anti halftime shows for anything but the Super Bowl. 63 00:03:52,120 --> 00:03:57,240 Speaker 2: I think halftime shows of non Super Bowl football games 64 00:03:57,560 --> 00:04:04,200 Speaker 2: should exclusively be uh, dogs doing awesome things, or kids 65 00:04:04,240 --> 00:04:08,800 Speaker 2: playing flag football games, or mascot's wrecking kids in flag 66 00:04:08,880 --> 00:04:12,360 Speaker 2: football games. That should be the entirety of halftime. Halftime 67 00:04:12,520 --> 00:04:16,200 Speaker 2: of NBA games should either be a magic act or 68 00:04:16,320 --> 00:04:19,440 Speaker 2: somebody you know, red Panda throwing the balls on her 69 00:04:19,480 --> 00:04:22,919 Speaker 2: head something cool like that, or once again, dogs, but 70 00:04:23,200 --> 00:04:26,480 Speaker 2: musical acts should be reserved for the Super Bowl. Australian 71 00:04:26,520 --> 00:04:28,800 Speaker 2: Open semiser underway. We're not going to get into that. 72 00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:31,920 Speaker 2: And the Team USA playerpool announced. I saw the thing. 73 00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:37,440 Speaker 2: Oh man, they didn't pick Draymond Green because of his outbursts. 74 00:04:37,440 --> 00:04:38,119 Speaker 3: Really, it's funny. 75 00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:40,000 Speaker 2: I thought they didn't pick Raymond Green because he's not 76 00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:42,119 Speaker 2: good enough anymore to be on Team USA. 77 00:04:42,160 --> 00:04:42,640 Speaker 3: Who knows? 78 00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:42,920 Speaker 2: All? 79 00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:43,200 Speaker 3: Right? 80 00:04:43,680 --> 00:04:46,680 Speaker 2: Major news before we get to conference championship a weekend. 81 00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:53,200 Speaker 2: Jim Harbaugh heading to the Los Angeles Chargers. That is 82 00:04:53,240 --> 00:04:57,520 Speaker 2: our top story today, and everyone wants to know. Nick 83 00:04:57,600 --> 00:05:01,880 Speaker 2: you nervous? I mean we basically could just re rack 84 00:05:02,600 --> 00:05:06,599 Speaker 2: from this time last year. Sean Payton heading to the 85 00:05:06,640 --> 00:05:11,039 Speaker 2: Denver Broncos. Nick you nervous, No, I'm not nervous. 86 00:05:10,839 --> 00:05:11,599 Speaker 3: For the Chiefs. 87 00:05:11,680 --> 00:05:16,880 Speaker 2: But Harbaugh is an excellent coach, and you could make 88 00:05:16,920 --> 00:05:20,840 Speaker 2: an argument that of all the coaching candidates Rabel, Belichick, 89 00:05:20,960 --> 00:05:24,960 Speaker 2: Ben Johnson, Harbaugh, all of them, that Harbaugh is the 90 00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:30,320 Speaker 2: best one, and he not surprisingly went to the team 91 00:05:30,760 --> 00:05:35,080 Speaker 2: with the best quarterbacks. So they will be better, There's 92 00:05:35,160 --> 00:05:38,960 Speaker 2: no doubt about that. And maybe we see Justin Herbert, 93 00:05:39,320 --> 00:05:43,400 Speaker 2: who came into the league as an A minus, which 94 00:05:43,520 --> 00:05:47,240 Speaker 2: was unbelievable for a rookie, and now, in my opinion, 95 00:05:47,320 --> 00:05:51,520 Speaker 2: has just maintained his status as an A minus, which 96 00:05:51,560 --> 00:05:55,839 Speaker 2: is then a little disappointing. Maybe we see him get 97 00:05:55,880 --> 00:05:58,200 Speaker 2: a tick or two better and the team as a 98 00:05:58,200 --> 00:06:02,479 Speaker 2: whole better coached. The problem for the Chargers is this, 99 00:06:03,120 --> 00:06:07,479 Speaker 2: and I hate to, on conference championship weekend start the 100 00:06:07,560 --> 00:06:11,960 Speaker 2: podcast with some cap nerd stuff, but we have to. 101 00:06:12,720 --> 00:06:15,880 Speaker 2: The Chargers are one of a handful of teams that 102 00:06:16,080 --> 00:06:20,479 Speaker 2: really took their shot and now have to retool a 103 00:06:20,520 --> 00:06:25,920 Speaker 2: bit so going into next season. The Los Angeles the 104 00:06:27,240 --> 00:06:31,320 Speaker 2: cap space available to teams. The team with the least 105 00:06:31,320 --> 00:06:34,559 Speaker 2: cap space eighty million over the cap. It's of course 106 00:06:34,600 --> 00:06:37,400 Speaker 2: the Saints. Now Saints fans will tell us the cap 107 00:06:37,440 --> 00:06:40,840 Speaker 2: is fake. Nick, you don't understand it. But that's because 108 00:06:40,880 --> 00:06:43,360 Speaker 2: they've been being lied to by their local media for 109 00:06:43,440 --> 00:06:46,440 Speaker 2: years and years and people covering the team. That bill 110 00:06:46,640 --> 00:06:49,200 Speaker 2: has been coming due over the last few years. It's 111 00:06:49,240 --> 00:06:51,440 Speaker 2: why that team can't get over the hump. And the 112 00:06:51,480 --> 00:06:54,680 Speaker 2: bill is fully coming due here in short order for them. 113 00:06:54,960 --> 00:06:59,320 Speaker 2: But after the Saints, the Dolphins and Bills both fifty 114 00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:03,000 Speaker 2: million over the cap, and the Chargers forty four million 115 00:07:03,040 --> 00:07:06,039 Speaker 2: over the cap, what do all three of those teams 116 00:07:06,080 --> 00:07:09,479 Speaker 2: have in common? All three of those teams thought, you 117 00:07:09,520 --> 00:07:16,040 Speaker 2: know what, we can go win right now, let's borrow 118 00:07:16,080 --> 00:07:20,600 Speaker 2: a bit from the future. And if we're Miami, screw it. 119 00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:23,960 Speaker 2: We have Wattle. We're gonna go get Tyreek Kill. We're 120 00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:28,160 Speaker 2: gonna trade for Jalen Ramsey. We're gonna upgrade our pass rush. 121 00:07:28,320 --> 00:07:31,680 Speaker 2: We're gonna try to win while our quarterbacks on his 122 00:07:31,840 --> 00:07:36,200 Speaker 2: rookie contract. Buffalo, we're so close. We're so close. We're 123 00:07:36,240 --> 00:07:39,600 Speaker 2: so close. You know what, We're gonna bring back Poyer 124 00:07:39,640 --> 00:07:42,600 Speaker 2: and hide this. You know in the past. We're gonna 125 00:07:42,640 --> 00:07:45,240 Speaker 2: go out in the big mistake, go out and sign 126 00:07:45,360 --> 00:07:50,400 Speaker 2: Von Miller. We a few years ago. We're gonna instead 127 00:07:50,400 --> 00:07:53,080 Speaker 2: of drafting a wide receiver. We're gonna trade that first 128 00:07:53,160 --> 00:07:55,880 Speaker 2: round pick for a very expensive wide receiver and stuff 129 00:07:55,880 --> 00:07:59,760 Speaker 2: on Diggs. We're trying to go right now. And then 130 00:07:59,760 --> 00:08:04,920 Speaker 2: there's the Chargers that traded for Khalil Mack, that kept, 131 00:08:05,280 --> 00:08:09,080 Speaker 2: brought Eckler back, that kept Mike Williams, kept Keenan Allen, 132 00:08:09,480 --> 00:08:15,640 Speaker 2: paid Derwin James paid Joey Bosa, paid justin Herbert, and 133 00:08:15,800 --> 00:08:19,720 Speaker 2: now the team is in a position wherein we'll go 134 00:08:19,840 --> 00:08:23,640 Speaker 2: through it quickly. They have one more year of Herbert cheap. 135 00:08:24,200 --> 00:08:27,040 Speaker 2: He's at twenty million next year, But that also means 136 00:08:27,400 --> 00:08:30,480 Speaker 2: you can't really restructure Herbert's deal to free up a 137 00:08:30,480 --> 00:08:34,160 Speaker 2: bunch of cap space. Eckler is a free agent. You 138 00:08:34,160 --> 00:08:38,160 Speaker 2: have no other running back you trust. Keenan Allen next 139 00:08:38,200 --> 00:08:44,320 Speaker 2: season right now has a thirty four million dollar cap hit. 140 00:08:44,800 --> 00:08:49,440 Speaker 2: He is going to be either extended, which I would 141 00:08:49,440 --> 00:08:52,760 Speaker 2: be nervous about at his age, restructured, but there's only 142 00:08:52,800 --> 00:08:55,560 Speaker 2: a year left, so again that's just adding void years 143 00:08:55,880 --> 00:08:59,240 Speaker 2: barring from the future, or cut to save twenty three 144 00:08:59,280 --> 00:09:03,880 Speaker 2: million bucks. Mike Williams next year has a thirty two 145 00:09:04,679 --> 00:09:08,080 Speaker 2: million dollar cap hit. You can save twenty million on 146 00:09:08,120 --> 00:09:12,160 Speaker 2: the cap by cutting him, maybe you extend him because 147 00:09:12,160 --> 00:09:14,760 Speaker 2: they're both Alan and Mike Williams are on the last 148 00:09:14,800 --> 00:09:18,520 Speaker 2: year of their deal. But they drafted Quinton Johnston believing 149 00:09:18,559 --> 00:09:20,560 Speaker 2: they were gonna move on for Mike Williams. But you 150 00:09:20,640 --> 00:09:23,920 Speaker 2: can't have Keenan Allen and Mike Williams combined for sixty 151 00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:28,240 Speaker 2: seven million dollar cap hit, and Quinton Johnston obviously had 152 00:09:28,280 --> 00:09:32,360 Speaker 2: one of the most disappointing rookie seasons of any highly 153 00:09:32,440 --> 00:09:33,320 Speaker 2: drafted wide receiver. 154 00:09:33,440 --> 00:09:34,319 Speaker 3: Last few years. 155 00:09:34,840 --> 00:09:37,480 Speaker 2: You keep it moving and you're like, okay, what about 156 00:09:37,480 --> 00:09:40,600 Speaker 2: the rest of their team. They obviously have a star 157 00:09:40,800 --> 00:09:44,800 Speaker 2: left tackle and Rashawn Slater. They have to extend him. 158 00:09:45,240 --> 00:09:47,640 Speaker 2: They cannot let him go, and the rest of the 159 00:09:47,679 --> 00:09:51,599 Speaker 2: offensive line has a big question mark. Corey Linsley unfortunately 160 00:09:51,960 --> 00:09:56,080 Speaker 2: has some health issues. He's got a fourteen million dollar 161 00:09:56,200 --> 00:09:58,880 Speaker 2: cap hit. You wonder if he they have to move 162 00:09:58,920 --> 00:10:01,400 Speaker 2: on from him, but he's a good player when he's healthy. 163 00:10:01,960 --> 00:10:06,480 Speaker 2: Defensively is where the pain is really coming. They don't 164 00:10:06,600 --> 00:10:10,240 Speaker 2: have a single d lineman you love, and they're not 165 00:10:10,400 --> 00:10:13,840 Speaker 2: gonna have this the cap space to go out and 166 00:10:13,880 --> 00:10:19,480 Speaker 2: improve it. Bosa and mac Khalil Mack next year, last 167 00:10:19,520 --> 00:10:24,280 Speaker 2: year of his deal thirty eight million dollars on the cap. Again, 168 00:10:24,760 --> 00:10:27,080 Speaker 2: you can extend him at thirty three years old if 169 00:10:27,120 --> 00:10:30,640 Speaker 2: you want. He's coming off a great year, but that 170 00:10:30,679 --> 00:10:33,240 Speaker 2: would be risky if you ask me. You can move 171 00:10:33,280 --> 00:10:36,320 Speaker 2: on from him and save twenty three million, but he 172 00:10:36,360 --> 00:10:39,400 Speaker 2: was the best player on your defense last year. Joey Bosa, 173 00:10:39,800 --> 00:10:43,120 Speaker 2: who has not lived up to he when he's healthy 174 00:10:43,280 --> 00:10:46,640 Speaker 2: and right, looks awesome, but how often is that Joey 175 00:10:46,679 --> 00:10:50,280 Speaker 2: Bosa thirty six million on the cap next season, and 176 00:10:50,360 --> 00:10:52,240 Speaker 2: moving on from him, which they're not gonna do, doesn't 177 00:10:52,240 --> 00:10:54,920 Speaker 2: even save you that much money. And then, of course 178 00:10:55,240 --> 00:11:01,520 Speaker 2: there's Derwin James, who at time, James looks like at 179 00:11:01,640 --> 00:11:03,720 Speaker 2: early in his career he's gonna be the best safety 180 00:11:03,720 --> 00:11:07,480 Speaker 2: in football. Instead, he's just been very good, but he 181 00:11:07,600 --> 00:11:11,520 Speaker 2: is paid like he's the best safety in football. So 182 00:11:11,840 --> 00:11:14,400 Speaker 2: and by the way, they have twenty million debt against 183 00:11:14,480 --> 00:11:17,480 Speaker 2: the cap next year because of the J. C. Jackson disaster. 184 00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:23,920 Speaker 2: I say all that to say this, the Chargers are 185 00:11:23,960 --> 00:11:27,559 Speaker 2: not going to have enough talent to be a true contender. 186 00:11:28,200 --> 00:11:31,600 Speaker 2: They don't have the money to fill in their holes, 187 00:11:32,040 --> 00:11:34,720 Speaker 2: and they are going to have to move on from 188 00:11:34,840 --> 00:11:39,800 Speaker 2: some of their more productive older players. So in a 189 00:11:39,880 --> 00:11:45,560 Speaker 2: few years we'll see what the Chargers look like. And 190 00:11:45,760 --> 00:11:53,040 Speaker 2: because of hardball, they are scary adjacent. But the they 191 00:11:53,040 --> 00:11:58,360 Speaker 2: are right now not competing with the Chiefs. Right now, 192 00:11:58,880 --> 00:12:07,880 Speaker 2: they are competing with the Jags, the Broncos, the other 193 00:12:08,800 --> 00:12:13,720 Speaker 2: theoretically talented teams that just missed out on the playoffs 194 00:12:13,920 --> 00:12:16,960 Speaker 2: to try to get back in the tournament. Because when 195 00:12:16,960 --> 00:12:20,199 Speaker 2: we talk about when you look at the AFC and 196 00:12:20,240 --> 00:12:24,560 Speaker 2: you say, Okay, who are we confident next season is 197 00:12:24,640 --> 00:12:27,720 Speaker 2: going to be a playoff team. I know it changes 198 00:12:27,840 --> 00:12:31,360 Speaker 2: year over year, but with the seven playoff spots that 199 00:12:31,480 --> 00:12:35,360 Speaker 2: it's very And I understand there's injuries, but Kansas City's 200 00:12:35,440 --> 00:12:41,400 Speaker 2: not going anywhere. Cincinnati was despite all the quarterback injuries 201 00:12:41,640 --> 00:12:43,960 Speaker 2: and Burrow being hurt before and then during the year, 202 00:12:44,360 --> 00:12:48,520 Speaker 2: still won nine games. I don't think Houston's getting worse. 203 00:12:49,200 --> 00:12:52,800 Speaker 2: I don't think Baltimore's going anywhere, and I don't think Buffalo, 204 00:12:52,960 --> 00:12:57,319 Speaker 2: as far as missing the playoffs, is going to go anywhere. 205 00:12:57,480 --> 00:12:58,600 Speaker 3: That's five guys. 206 00:13:00,200 --> 00:13:04,120 Speaker 2: That doesn't mention Miami, that doesn't mention Cleveland, that doesn't 207 00:13:04,200 --> 00:13:08,120 Speaker 2: mention Pittsburgh, that doesn't mention the Jags, that doesn't mention 208 00:13:08,320 --> 00:13:11,959 Speaker 2: the Chargers the Broncos. Obviously the Chargers made a great hire. 209 00:13:12,320 --> 00:13:15,520 Speaker 2: That hire does not make them anything close to a 210 00:13:15,559 --> 00:13:21,000 Speaker 2: Super Bowl contender, all right, Next, Lamar Jackson. So I 211 00:13:21,000 --> 00:13:24,200 Speaker 2: did an all time quarterback pyramid that I'm getting some 212 00:13:24,240 --> 00:13:28,600 Speaker 2: pushback on because it was I'll try to do it 213 00:13:28,640 --> 00:13:31,640 Speaker 2: off the top of my head. But here's you know, 214 00:13:31,679 --> 00:13:33,959 Speaker 2: it's a pyramid. So it's one guy in row one, 215 00:13:34,080 --> 00:13:36,560 Speaker 2: two in row two, so on and so forth. And 216 00:13:36,640 --> 00:13:40,280 Speaker 2: this was the pyramid. Row one was Brady, Row two 217 00:13:40,640 --> 00:13:49,360 Speaker 2: was Mahomes and Manning. Row three was Montana, Lway and. 218 00:13:50,960 --> 00:13:51,440 Speaker 3: Marino. 219 00:13:52,240 --> 00:13:57,960 Speaker 2: So there's the top six. Row four was Rogers, Farv 220 00:13:59,080 --> 00:14:01,199 Speaker 2: Staubach and. 221 00:14:02,920 --> 00:14:03,600 Speaker 3: Steve Young. 222 00:14:05,120 --> 00:14:08,120 Speaker 2: Steve Young, who I think is eternally underrated. I think 223 00:14:08,200 --> 00:14:11,679 Speaker 2: Steve Young the only quarterback I've ever seen that reminded 224 00:14:11,720 --> 00:14:14,839 Speaker 2: me that Mahomes reminds me of is Steve Young. And 225 00:14:14,880 --> 00:14:27,440 Speaker 2: then row five was Bradshaw, Breeze, Kurt Warner, Aikman, and 226 00:14:27,480 --> 00:14:31,280 Speaker 2: then in the last spot was Lamar, which means I 227 00:14:31,320 --> 00:14:35,000 Speaker 2: had him ahead of Big Ben, Jim Kelly. And this 228 00:14:35,200 --> 00:14:37,520 Speaker 2: was post merger, so I'm not counting Bart Starr and 229 00:14:37,560 --> 00:14:41,360 Speaker 2: Johnny Unitis, and those guys had him ahead of If 230 00:14:41,360 --> 00:14:43,920 Speaker 2: you guys in the control room think there's anyone else that's, 231 00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:47,960 Speaker 2: you know, fringe that I didn't mention, tell me, but 232 00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:50,040 Speaker 2: I had him ahead of every one of them, those guys, 233 00:14:50,960 --> 00:14:53,080 Speaker 2: I just want and I called him a Hall of Famer. 234 00:14:53,960 --> 00:14:55,760 Speaker 3: I want to be very clear on this. 235 00:14:57,600 --> 00:15:02,520 Speaker 2: Calling him a Hall of Famer is not really a 236 00:15:02,680 --> 00:15:03,480 Speaker 2: judgment call. 237 00:15:03,560 --> 00:15:07,080 Speaker 3: At this point. He has two MVPs. 238 00:15:07,520 --> 00:15:10,520 Speaker 2: I'm assigning him this year's MVP because he's going to 239 00:15:10,600 --> 00:15:10,960 Speaker 2: win it. 240 00:15:13,080 --> 00:15:14,440 Speaker 3: That makes him a Hall of Famer. 241 00:15:15,560 --> 00:15:21,040 Speaker 2: Here is the full list of people with multiple NFL MVPs. 242 00:15:21,520 --> 00:15:26,720 Speaker 2: Peyton Mannings got five, Aaron's got four, Jim Brown, Johnny 243 00:15:26,800 --> 00:15:31,600 Speaker 2: united Is, Brett faarv Tom Brady have three. Joe Montana, 244 00:15:32,120 --> 00:15:38,000 Speaker 2: Steve Young, Kurt Warner, Patrick Mahomes all have two, and 245 00:15:38,120 --> 00:15:45,520 Speaker 2: now so does Lamar Jackson. Kurt Warner got in. He 246 00:15:45,560 --> 00:15:48,760 Speaker 2: didn't get in on his first year of eligibility, but 247 00:15:48,920 --> 00:15:51,040 Speaker 2: he got in, and I don't think many people were 248 00:15:51,080 --> 00:15:54,240 Speaker 2: worried that he wasn't going to get in. Steve Young 249 00:15:54,360 --> 00:15:57,520 Speaker 2: got in either on his first or second year of eligibility. 250 00:15:57,880 --> 00:16:02,560 Speaker 2: Everyone else was a first ballot guy it is unequivocal 251 00:16:03,080 --> 00:16:06,480 Speaker 2: that Lamar Jackson with two MVPs is going to be. 252 00:16:06,480 --> 00:16:07,240 Speaker 3: A Hall of Famer. 253 00:16:08,360 --> 00:16:13,960 Speaker 2: And if you want to argue like that, putting him 254 00:16:14,040 --> 00:16:19,520 Speaker 2: in that pantheon is too premature. He now has the 255 00:16:19,920 --> 00:16:23,560 Speaker 2: pelts on the wall that says it's not now. 256 00:16:23,680 --> 00:16:25,320 Speaker 3: As far as. 257 00:16:26,880 --> 00:16:31,760 Speaker 2: This game itself, people are wondering, all right, we have 258 00:16:31,840 --> 00:16:38,040 Speaker 2: been trying to create a Brady Manning for Patrick Mahomes, 259 00:16:38,800 --> 00:16:43,760 Speaker 2: and it was Josh Allen. People briefly flirted with the 260 00:16:43,800 --> 00:16:46,600 Speaker 2: idea of it being Burrow. They then really tried to 261 00:16:46,680 --> 00:16:49,760 Speaker 2: sell us all week last week again that it was 262 00:16:49,840 --> 00:16:52,600 Speaker 2: Josh Allen and now people want it to be Lamar. 263 00:16:53,720 --> 00:16:56,520 Speaker 2: But and I talked about this on the TV show, 264 00:16:56,560 --> 00:16:58,520 Speaker 2: but it's worth time again here. 265 00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:00,840 Speaker 3: People are. 266 00:17:02,760 --> 00:17:10,560 Speaker 2: Misremembering what Brady Manning was. Brady Manning was a legitimate, 267 00:17:11,480 --> 00:17:16,640 Speaker 2: real debate that there was not a vast majority on 268 00:17:16,640 --> 00:17:23,200 Speaker 2: one side or the other for the entirety of Peyton 269 00:17:23,200 --> 00:17:27,800 Speaker 2: Manning's career when they went Brady and Manning's career when 270 00:17:27,800 --> 00:17:28,520 Speaker 2: they overlapped. 271 00:17:28,680 --> 00:17:32,480 Speaker 3: So let me lay it out for you. Okay, let's 272 00:17:32,560 --> 00:17:33,040 Speaker 3: go to. 273 00:17:34,480 --> 00:17:40,800 Speaker 2: Heading into the two thousand and six NFL season up 274 00:17:40,840 --> 00:17:42,639 Speaker 2: to that point, and I want to make sure I 275 00:17:42,640 --> 00:17:48,240 Speaker 2: have this right. Peyton Manning already had two league MVPs 276 00:17:49,160 --> 00:17:55,000 Speaker 2: and Tom Brady hadn't sniffed one. Conversely, up to that 277 00:17:55,119 --> 00:17:59,639 Speaker 2: point they had played twice in the playoffs. Peyton hadn't 278 00:17:59,680 --> 00:18:04,160 Speaker 2: played well in either game, Brady had beaten him both times, 279 00:18:04,480 --> 00:18:06,360 Speaker 2: and Brady had three rings. 280 00:18:07,040 --> 00:18:10,920 Speaker 3: So in the mid two thousand aughts, it was well. 281 00:18:10,800 --> 00:18:16,840 Speaker 2: One guy, I test accolades stats is so clearly better. 282 00:18:17,440 --> 00:18:20,600 Speaker 2: The other guy, on the other hand, has three Super 283 00:18:20,600 --> 00:18:23,639 Speaker 2: Bowl rings. Is two to zero against him in the playoffs. 284 00:18:24,119 --> 00:18:28,360 Speaker 2: You could make strong arguments on either side. Then in 285 00:18:28,400 --> 00:18:32,280 Speaker 2: the two thousand and six season, they play once again 286 00:18:32,359 --> 00:18:36,200 Speaker 2: in the playoffs tom Brady, but for the first time 287 00:18:36,520 --> 00:18:40,719 Speaker 2: it's in Peyton's building. Tom Brady's team is up twenty 288 00:18:40,760 --> 00:18:43,720 Speaker 2: one to three at halftime. It looks like it's going 289 00:18:43,760 --> 00:18:47,680 Speaker 2: to just be another time the Patriots roll, Peyton's team 290 00:18:48,119 --> 00:18:52,120 Speaker 2: storms all the way back, then goes on to win 291 00:18:52,160 --> 00:18:56,680 Speaker 2: the Super Bowl two weeks later. And now the playoff 292 00:18:56,760 --> 00:18:59,560 Speaker 2: matchups are two to one, the Super Bowls are three 293 00:18:59,600 --> 00:19:05,240 Speaker 2: to one, but Peyton's got a couple MVPs. Okay smash 294 00:19:05,320 --> 00:19:11,160 Speaker 2: cut Now forward five more years. Tom Brady now has 295 00:19:11,200 --> 00:19:14,560 Speaker 2: won a couple MVPs and has made a couple more 296 00:19:14,600 --> 00:19:18,919 Speaker 2: Super Bowls, but has lost them both. Peyton made another 297 00:19:19,000 --> 00:19:23,919 Speaker 2: Super Bowl, won another two MVPs, but didn't win the 298 00:19:23,960 --> 00:19:29,800 Speaker 2: Super Bowl. Peyton goes to Denver. They play in the 299 00:19:29,840 --> 00:19:35,920 Speaker 2: postseason in Denver. Peyton out plays him, Peyton's team wins. 300 00:19:36,480 --> 00:19:42,960 Speaker 2: Peyton wins his fifth MVP, has a fifty five touchdown season. 301 00:19:43,720 --> 00:19:47,199 Speaker 2: The playoff records are now two to two. Peyton is 302 00:19:47,240 --> 00:19:51,879 Speaker 2: now going to another Super Bowl. In that Tom Brady 303 00:19:51,920 --> 00:19:55,720 Speaker 2: hasn't won a super Bowl in a decade. In that moment, 304 00:19:56,359 --> 00:20:00,439 Speaker 2: most people thought Brady Manning is Peyton. 305 00:20:01,119 --> 00:20:01,520 Speaker 3: Okay. 306 00:20:02,960 --> 00:20:06,560 Speaker 2: They then lose that Super Bowl. The Patriots win the 307 00:20:06,600 --> 00:20:11,920 Speaker 2: next year, so now it's four to one Super Bowls Peyton. 308 00:20:11,960 --> 00:20:14,840 Speaker 2: Then in twenty fifteen they play again in the playoffs. 309 00:20:15,200 --> 00:20:18,399 Speaker 2: Peyton beats him again, even though Peyton that year was 310 00:20:18,440 --> 00:20:22,640 Speaker 2: not good. The Broncos win the Super Bowl and Peyton retires. 311 00:20:23,520 --> 00:20:28,320 Speaker 2: So the day Peyton retired, the ledger looked like this. 312 00:20:29,480 --> 00:20:36,679 Speaker 2: It was MVPs were five to two Peyton. Playoff matchups 313 00:20:37,320 --> 00:20:41,200 Speaker 2: were three to two in Peyton's favor. 314 00:20:41,960 --> 00:20:44,880 Speaker 3: Super Bowls were four to two. 315 00:20:45,200 --> 00:20:49,440 Speaker 2: In Brady's favor, and a lot of people the day 316 00:20:49,520 --> 00:20:53,800 Speaker 2: Peyton Manning retired believed that's the best quarterback of his generation. 317 00:20:55,200 --> 00:20:59,440 Speaker 2: And then after he retired, Tom Brady in twenty sixteen 318 00:20:59,840 --> 00:21:02,040 Speaker 2: went to the Super Bowl, had the twenty eight to 319 00:21:02,080 --> 00:21:06,160 Speaker 2: three comeback, got his fifth ring. In twenty seventeen, went 320 00:21:06,200 --> 00:21:09,240 Speaker 2: to the Super Bowl, threw for five hundred yards, lost 321 00:21:09,280 --> 00:21:13,160 Speaker 2: in a shootout, twenty and one League MVP. Twenty eighteen, 322 00:21:13,480 --> 00:21:15,840 Speaker 2: went to beat Patrick Mahomes in the AFC Title Game 323 00:21:15,880 --> 00:21:18,400 Speaker 2: in a classic, went to the Super Bowl, won it. 324 00:21:18,720 --> 00:21:22,440 Speaker 2: That's his sixth ring. Twenty nineteen, last year with the Patriots, 325 00:21:22,720 --> 00:21:26,320 Speaker 2: twenty twenty went to Tampa Bay, went to the Super Bowl, 326 00:21:26,480 --> 00:21:30,040 Speaker 2: won Super Bowl MVP, and twenty twenty one came in 327 00:21:30,119 --> 00:21:36,679 Speaker 2: second and League MVP and now Peyton Tom it's not 328 00:21:36,760 --> 00:21:43,480 Speaker 2: even a debate. So but for the entirety of when 329 00:21:43,520 --> 00:21:47,840 Speaker 2: their careers overlapped, there were strong arguments on both sides 330 00:21:47,880 --> 00:21:51,400 Speaker 2: of it. So I give that history to say this. 331 00:21:51,960 --> 00:21:58,960 Speaker 2: There is no goddamn Peyton Brady for Mahomes anyone, there 332 00:21:59,119 --> 00:22:03,480 Speaker 2: is no argument, there is no rival. Now it doesn't 333 00:22:03,520 --> 00:22:06,439 Speaker 2: mean no one will ever beat him. Hell, Joe Burrow 334 00:22:06,440 --> 00:22:09,639 Speaker 2: beat him. Lamar might beat him on Sunday. 335 00:22:09,600 --> 00:22:10,240 Speaker 3: We'll see. 336 00:22:11,359 --> 00:22:20,479 Speaker 2: But it is far far closer to Tiger Phil or 337 00:22:20,600 --> 00:22:27,119 Speaker 2: Gretzky Lemieux or Gretzky Messier than anything we've seen in 338 00:22:27,160 --> 00:22:34,240 Speaker 2: the NFL, where there is a unquestioned, clear best and 339 00:22:34,280 --> 00:22:40,440 Speaker 2: then a different people jockeying for second best. That's what 340 00:22:40,560 --> 00:22:50,240 Speaker 2: the rivalry actually is. Lamar versus Burrow and Josh. That's 341 00:22:50,280 --> 00:22:56,760 Speaker 2: the rivalry so I and by the way, Lamar might win. 342 00:22:56,920 --> 00:23:01,520 Speaker 2: They might win this weekend. I folks that watch this 343 00:23:01,560 --> 00:23:02,440 Speaker 2: show or watch. 344 00:23:02,280 --> 00:23:03,040 Speaker 3: The TV show. 345 00:23:03,119 --> 00:23:08,320 Speaker 2: No, I thought it was going to be impossible for 346 00:23:08,480 --> 00:23:12,119 Speaker 2: Miami to win in the wildcard round. I thought the 347 00:23:12,200 --> 00:23:16,240 Speaker 2: Chiefs were clearly the better team than Buffalo, and I 348 00:23:16,280 --> 00:23:18,919 Speaker 2: thought they were gonna win by ten. The fumbled the 349 00:23:18,920 --> 00:23:23,480 Speaker 2: goal line, blew that. But whatever I was, as Brew 350 00:23:23,520 --> 00:23:27,160 Speaker 2: would say, ten toes down confident in both of those games. 351 00:23:28,119 --> 00:23:32,640 Speaker 2: To me, this is a sixty to forty game, sixty 352 00:23:32,640 --> 00:23:35,679 Speaker 2: five to thirty five game. Now, I think the Chiefs 353 00:23:35,680 --> 00:23:42,520 Speaker 2: should be favored because if Patrick Mahomes isn't playing Tom 354 00:23:42,560 --> 00:23:46,080 Speaker 2: Brady in the playoffs, he's thirteen and one and the 355 00:23:46,160 --> 00:23:50,720 Speaker 2: one is an overtime loss to Burrow, and I don't 356 00:23:50,720 --> 00:23:54,199 Speaker 2: think anybody when Patrick's healthy. Hell, last year, he wasn't healthy. 357 00:23:55,600 --> 00:23:58,760 Speaker 2: I mean the last interception Patrick threw in the playoffs 358 00:23:59,080 --> 00:24:01,720 Speaker 2: was in that loss to Joe Burrow. Five straight games 359 00:24:01,720 --> 00:24:05,040 Speaker 2: without an interception in the playoffs, league record, and so 360 00:24:06,440 --> 00:24:12,480 Speaker 2: I I understand that the Ravens are an excellent team 361 00:24:12,520 --> 00:24:14,359 Speaker 2: and Lamar's playing the best football of his life. 362 00:24:14,680 --> 00:24:16,040 Speaker 3: But there is no rivalry. 363 00:24:16,840 --> 00:24:19,720 Speaker 2: There isn't And the producers are asking me if this 364 00:24:19,800 --> 00:24:22,119 Speaker 2: is me hedging. This isn't me hedging, This is me 365 00:24:22,160 --> 00:24:23,680 Speaker 2: giving my honest thoughts. 366 00:24:25,520 --> 00:24:27,639 Speaker 3: No matter how. 367 00:24:30,200 --> 00:24:32,520 Speaker 2: How do you say this, no matter how good I 368 00:24:32,600 --> 00:24:37,119 Speaker 2: believe the Chiefs are. I recognize that this is not 369 00:24:37,200 --> 00:24:40,400 Speaker 2: a year where they are head and shoulders better than 370 00:24:40,840 --> 00:24:43,959 Speaker 2: the second or third best teams in football. Now, I 371 00:24:44,000 --> 00:24:48,199 Speaker 2: do believe this Sunday at three o'clock on CBS is 372 00:24:48,240 --> 00:24:53,240 Speaker 2: the Super Bowl. The winner of Sunday's game is going 373 00:24:53,280 --> 00:24:55,320 Speaker 2: to roll in the Super Bowl. 374 00:24:55,600 --> 00:24:56,240 Speaker 3: I believe that. 375 00:24:57,359 --> 00:24:59,920 Speaker 2: Sorry to my Lions fan friends, and I guess less star. 376 00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:02,600 Speaker 2: Sorry to the my Niners fan friends because Niner fans 377 00:25:02,600 --> 00:25:04,080 Speaker 2: hate me. So I don't think I have a lot 378 00:25:04,080 --> 00:25:06,600 Speaker 2: of friends in the Bay Area. 379 00:25:06,400 --> 00:25:13,840 Speaker 3: Sadly, but this is gonna be a great game. 380 00:25:14,960 --> 00:25:18,040 Speaker 2: And the other thing the producers asked me is and 381 00:25:18,200 --> 00:25:21,000 Speaker 2: I'm more afraid of Lamar with his arm or his legs. 382 00:25:22,359 --> 00:25:24,800 Speaker 2: This is not about Lamar. It's more about how the 383 00:25:24,880 --> 00:25:27,880 Speaker 2: Chiefs are built. I'm more afraid of him with his legs. 384 00:25:28,320 --> 00:25:31,159 Speaker 2: I trust the Chiefs corners. I think the Chiefs have 385 00:25:31,240 --> 00:25:35,720 Speaker 2: the best pair of corners in football, and I am 386 00:25:35,920 --> 00:25:40,679 Speaker 2: interested in if they get Mark Andrew's back, if that 387 00:25:41,119 --> 00:25:44,480 Speaker 2: is going to be as good for Baltimore as they think. 388 00:25:45,000 --> 00:25:49,119 Speaker 2: Because Lamar, once Mark Andrews went down, was kind of 389 00:25:49,280 --> 00:25:55,600 Speaker 2: forced to start to diversify his receiving options. I wonder 390 00:25:55,600 --> 00:25:57,520 Speaker 2: if Mark Andrews out there, if he tries to force 391 00:25:57,600 --> 00:26:00,840 Speaker 2: him the ball, but maybe not that now Andrews likely 392 00:26:00,880 --> 00:26:02,920 Speaker 2: in a two tight end set that could be tough. 393 00:26:02,720 --> 00:26:03,159 Speaker 3: To deal with. 394 00:26:03,440 --> 00:26:08,880 Speaker 2: Ravens are a very very good team, but I think 395 00:26:08,920 --> 00:26:12,359 Speaker 2: the Chiefs defense and Ravens defense is a wash. 396 00:26:12,720 --> 00:26:13,360 Speaker 3: I think that. 397 00:26:16,640 --> 00:26:20,520 Speaker 2: As well as Lamar is played, it is unquestioned which 398 00:26:20,560 --> 00:26:25,240 Speaker 2: quarterback you trust more in this game. And Lamar with 399 00:26:25,359 --> 00:26:29,800 Speaker 2: his legs breaking contain is a scary thought. But the 400 00:26:29,880 --> 00:26:32,280 Speaker 2: Chiefs had a pretty good game plan for that last 401 00:26:32,280 --> 00:26:35,840 Speaker 2: week against Josh and the Bills, where they gave them 402 00:26:36,359 --> 00:26:41,080 Speaker 2: all the short stuff they wanted and because of that 403 00:26:41,760 --> 00:26:45,720 Speaker 2: they kind of got eaten up on the ground. But 404 00:26:45,800 --> 00:26:49,440 Speaker 2: what they didn't do was give up a single play 405 00:26:49,480 --> 00:26:54,120 Speaker 2: of twenty plus yards. All right, next, you guys, right, 406 00:26:54,480 --> 00:26:56,840 Speaker 2: you've been calling the Chiefs disrespected all year. Being a 407 00:26:56,840 --> 00:26:58,600 Speaker 2: three and a half point road dog versus the best 408 00:26:58,600 --> 00:27:01,080 Speaker 2: team in the league seems part for the Meanwhile, the 409 00:27:01,119 --> 00:27:03,960 Speaker 2: Lions are a full touchdown dog after San Francisco nearly 410 00:27:04,000 --> 00:27:06,400 Speaker 2: lost to Green Bay a week ago. Who is actually 411 00:27:06,440 --> 00:27:10,679 Speaker 2: the disrespected team? Well, the Chiefs have been disrespected the 412 00:27:10,880 --> 00:27:13,600 Speaker 2: entire season, as if no one had watched football or 413 00:27:14,119 --> 00:27:17,720 Speaker 2: Mahomes prior to this year. It was ridiculous. This weekend, 414 00:27:19,040 --> 00:27:22,960 Speaker 2: it is the Lions. The Lions have been It's very 415 00:27:23,000 --> 00:27:27,600 Speaker 2: odd because the Lions started the year off by going 416 00:27:27,640 --> 00:27:32,920 Speaker 2: to Kansas City with thirty million people watching. However, many 417 00:27:32,920 --> 00:27:36,879 Speaker 2: people were watching and beating the Chiefs, and despite that, 418 00:27:36,920 --> 00:27:39,880 Speaker 2: they've never really gotten the respective. Oh, they're a cute team, 419 00:27:39,880 --> 00:27:42,560 Speaker 2: they're a good story. And I'm guilty of that to 420 00:27:42,600 --> 00:27:45,160 Speaker 2: a degree as well. I haven't looked at the Lions 421 00:27:45,200 --> 00:27:48,200 Speaker 2: as an A List contender, and they are a game. 422 00:27:48,040 --> 00:27:49,240 Speaker 3: Away from the Super Bowl. 423 00:27:49,840 --> 00:27:51,879 Speaker 2: A lot of that has to do with the fact 424 00:27:52,440 --> 00:27:58,359 Speaker 2: that I think it's twofold. One is the Lions stars 425 00:27:58,520 --> 00:28:05,120 Speaker 2: skill guys have art haven't been stars as long as 426 00:28:05,160 --> 00:28:07,960 Speaker 2: some of the other team stars skill guys, even if 427 00:28:07,960 --> 00:28:08,880 Speaker 2: they're just as good. 428 00:28:09,520 --> 00:28:10,680 Speaker 3: Gibbs is awesome. 429 00:28:11,320 --> 00:28:15,960 Speaker 2: Laporta but before he got hurt was arguably as a 430 00:28:16,080 --> 00:28:18,960 Speaker 2: rookie having the best year of any tight end, and 431 00:28:19,040 --> 00:28:25,840 Speaker 2: Aman Ross Saint Brown might be the most overlooked awesome, awesome. 432 00:28:25,520 --> 00:28:28,359 Speaker 3: Receiver in the league. So that hurts them. 433 00:28:28,400 --> 00:28:32,400 Speaker 2: The other thing that hurts them, obviously the defense is susceptible, 434 00:28:32,400 --> 00:28:36,399 Speaker 2: but set that aside. People don't really trust golf. But 435 00:28:36,480 --> 00:28:38,800 Speaker 2: the fact of the matter on golf is this, He's 436 00:28:38,840 --> 00:28:43,240 Speaker 2: a hard player to trust because the moment he gets pressured, 437 00:28:44,160 --> 00:28:50,200 Speaker 2: not existential pressure, but pressured, the moment that happens, he 438 00:28:51,680 --> 00:28:54,040 Speaker 2: turns into a pumpkin. We saw it in the first 439 00:28:54,080 --> 00:28:56,720 Speaker 2: playoff game of the year when he got pressured and 440 00:28:56,920 --> 00:28:59,480 Speaker 2: threw a two in chess pass backwards towards his own 441 00:28:59,560 --> 00:29:02,480 Speaker 2: end zone. He can't deal with it. But if they 442 00:29:02,560 --> 00:29:07,400 Speaker 2: can keep him clean, if they can neutralize Young and 443 00:29:07,440 --> 00:29:10,840 Speaker 2: Bosa off the edge and Armstead and Hardgrave up the middle, 444 00:29:11,080 --> 00:29:14,120 Speaker 2: which is a hell of a tall task, but the 445 00:29:14,200 --> 00:29:16,480 Speaker 2: Lions have invested a lot in that offensive line to 446 00:29:16,480 --> 00:29:19,040 Speaker 2: be able to do it. Golf can pick apart that 447 00:29:19,160 --> 00:29:25,200 Speaker 2: secondary and so yeah, they are a bit disrespected, But 448 00:29:27,600 --> 00:29:30,480 Speaker 2: some of that's because they don't have the history. Some 449 00:29:30,600 --> 00:29:34,040 Speaker 2: of that's because they don't have the star a list, 450 00:29:34,240 --> 00:29:38,440 Speaker 2: name recognition, star power, and some of that, honestly is 451 00:29:39,200 --> 00:29:42,280 Speaker 2: because people just don't totally trust the quarterback. Speaking of 452 00:29:42,320 --> 00:29:47,440 Speaker 2: not trusting quarterbacks, we'll go to Brock Parties, the Brock 453 00:29:47,480 --> 00:29:51,720 Speaker 2: Party discussion producers. Right, Perty has made the NFC Championship 454 00:29:51,720 --> 00:29:53,720 Speaker 2: Game every year. Okay, by the way, so did Jimmy 455 00:29:53,720 --> 00:29:56,800 Speaker 2: Garoppolo when he was healthy. Just for the record. Uh, 456 00:29:57,440 --> 00:30:00,680 Speaker 2: but you call him, I call him San Francisco's If 457 00:30:00,720 --> 00:30:03,240 Speaker 2: the forty nine ers make the super Bowl with him, there's. 458 00:30:03,040 --> 00:30:04,040 Speaker 3: No way they move on. 459 00:30:04,520 --> 00:30:06,920 Speaker 2: But are you gonna make the Galaxy brain take that 460 00:30:07,080 --> 00:30:09,640 Speaker 2: losing would be better for San Francisco in the long run. 461 00:30:09,920 --> 00:30:11,880 Speaker 2: I'm not gonna say losing would be better in the 462 00:30:11,880 --> 00:30:13,800 Speaker 2: long run. What I would say. What I will say 463 00:30:13,840 --> 00:30:18,000 Speaker 2: is this, if Perdy plays the way he did against 464 00:30:18,080 --> 00:30:24,560 Speaker 2: Green Bay and they lose, it is absolutely on the 465 00:30:24,640 --> 00:30:27,640 Speaker 2: board that he's not their starting quarterback Week one of 466 00:30:27,720 --> 00:30:28,200 Speaker 2: next year. 467 00:30:28,920 --> 00:30:29,720 Speaker 3: And all these. 468 00:30:29,640 --> 00:30:33,000 Speaker 2: Quotes from Shanahan and his teammates and all of it 469 00:30:33,480 --> 00:30:35,120 Speaker 2: that what the Niners. 470 00:30:34,720 --> 00:30:35,440 Speaker 3: Will do. 471 00:30:37,320 --> 00:30:43,320 Speaker 2: If Perdy plays poorly and they lose is try to quietly. 472 00:30:44,200 --> 00:30:45,360 Speaker 3: Do recount on. 473 00:30:47,160 --> 00:30:51,560 Speaker 2: Kirk cousins, Will you take less than you can get 474 00:30:51,600 --> 00:30:57,800 Speaker 2: elsewhere to come play for Kyle Shanahan. So Kirk has 475 00:30:57,880 --> 00:31:01,840 Speaker 2: made an unbelievable amount of money in his career. He's 476 00:31:01,840 --> 00:31:04,560 Speaker 2: at two hundred and thirty one million. He's about to 477 00:31:04,600 --> 00:31:08,120 Speaker 2: be a true and clear for free and clear free 478 00:31:08,120 --> 00:31:12,320 Speaker 2: agent and can go anywhere. The Niners don't have the 479 00:31:12,400 --> 00:31:15,720 Speaker 2: money to give him a top of the market deal, 480 00:31:17,640 --> 00:31:24,600 Speaker 2: but I'm sure they believe correctly that that would be 481 00:31:24,640 --> 00:31:27,440 Speaker 2: a massive upgrade if they trust his health coming off 482 00:31:27,440 --> 00:31:30,959 Speaker 2: the Achilles, and if he would take a below market 483 00:31:31,000 --> 00:31:32,920 Speaker 2: deal for a great chance at a super Bowl, they 484 00:31:32,920 --> 00:31:36,200 Speaker 2: would investigate it. We heard from Brock Berdy himself this 485 00:31:36,280 --> 00:31:39,640 Speaker 2: offseason that Kyle Shanahan told him they were going to 486 00:31:39,720 --> 00:31:41,800 Speaker 2: move on. He wasn't going to be the starter if 487 00:31:41,800 --> 00:31:52,120 Speaker 2: they signed Brady and at Niner fans are angry. 488 00:31:51,680 --> 00:31:52,120 Speaker 3: With me. 489 00:31:54,080 --> 00:31:58,959 Speaker 2: Because, how do I put it, I think it's projection. 490 00:32:00,280 --> 00:32:04,360 Speaker 2: I think Niner fans deep down are more scared of 491 00:32:04,440 --> 00:32:09,360 Speaker 2: Purty than anybody. But because the numbers have been so good, 492 00:32:09,400 --> 00:32:12,160 Speaker 2: because he's twenty and five, because of all these things, 493 00:32:12,600 --> 00:32:17,240 Speaker 2: they feel like you and the media should be obligated 494 00:32:18,120 --> 00:32:23,560 Speaker 2: to love him, to say great things about him, rather 495 00:32:23,640 --> 00:32:27,120 Speaker 2: than to evaluate the games as if they were on television. 496 00:32:27,680 --> 00:32:33,200 Speaker 2: And it was truly amazing to me how many people 497 00:32:33,800 --> 00:32:38,120 Speaker 2: this week are tripling down on Brock even though we 498 00:32:38,200 --> 00:32:41,280 Speaker 2: all saw that game and he was the worst player 499 00:32:41,280 --> 00:32:44,440 Speaker 2: on the field for massive stretches of it. And so 500 00:32:45,360 --> 00:32:50,040 Speaker 2: if they, after being very fortunate to win at home 501 00:32:50,080 --> 00:32:53,720 Speaker 2: against Jordan Love and Green Bay because of his poor play, 502 00:32:54,520 --> 00:32:57,400 Speaker 2: if they then lose at home to Jared Goff and 503 00:32:57,440 --> 00:33:02,200 Speaker 2: the Niners, some real offseason question for San Francisco. Who 504 00:33:02,200 --> 00:33:04,200 Speaker 2: do I think is gonna win that game?

So 539 00:34:55,719 --> 00:34:58,480 Speaker 2: nothing but our thoughts with the Monse's kind of going 540 00:34:58,480 --> 00:35:02,160 Speaker 2: through a rough time at the moment. The producers asking 541 00:35:02,200 --> 00:35:06,919 Speaker 2: me to rank potential Super Bowl matchups, so we will 542 00:35:06,920 --> 00:35:09,799 Speaker 2: do that right now. There's four potential matchups, ranked them 543 00:35:09,840 --> 00:35:12,200 Speaker 2: four to one based on what would be the most 544 00:35:12,200 --> 00:35:17,640 Speaker 2: exciting games with the best storylines. Okay, that's an interesting question. 545 00:35:18,320 --> 00:35:27,640 Speaker 2: The so I I think that, and I think the 546 00:35:27,719 --> 00:35:33,040 Speaker 2: ratings bear this out. I think the best storylines have 547 00:35:33,239 --> 00:35:34,920 Speaker 2: to involve and I know you guys are gonna roll 548 00:35:34,960 --> 00:35:37,600 Speaker 2: your eyes, but have to involve the Chiefs going for 549 00:35:37,680 --> 00:35:42,080 Speaker 2: a second straight title. I think that given the fact 550 00:35:42,080 --> 00:35:44,200 Speaker 2: that this what did not This is not a fate 551 00:35:44,239 --> 00:35:47,239 Speaker 2: Accompley season. The last time the Chiefs were going for 552 00:35:47,280 --> 00:35:51,560 Speaker 2: their second straight title, they were fourteen and one in 553 00:35:51,640 --> 00:35:56,120 Speaker 2: games Mahomes played. He rested in week seventeen, and they 554 00:35:56,239 --> 00:36:00,319 Speaker 2: kind of rolled in route to the Super Bowl. First 555 00:36:00,320 --> 00:36:03,239 Speaker 2: playoff game, they played the Browns, they had total control, 556 00:36:03,560 --> 00:36:06,960 Speaker 2: and then Mahomes got choked out on the field. Their 557 00:36:07,000 --> 00:36:09,680 Speaker 2: second playoff game, the AFC title game, they annihilated the 558 00:36:09,719 --> 00:36:13,440 Speaker 2: Bills and then so it was really the question was 559 00:36:13,480 --> 00:36:15,920 Speaker 2: who was gonna come out of the NFC, not the AFC, 560 00:36:16,280 --> 00:36:17,920 Speaker 2: And then Brady and the Bucks came out of the 561 00:36:18,040 --> 00:36:21,560 Speaker 2: NFC and kicked their ass. But the lead up to it, 562 00:36:22,080 --> 00:36:24,480 Speaker 2: there wasn't a lot of doubting of the defending champion 563 00:36:24,600 --> 00:36:25,319 Speaker 2: Chiefs that year. 564 00:36:25,640 --> 00:36:29,040 Speaker 3: This year obviously totally different. 565 00:36:29,480 --> 00:36:33,520 Speaker 2: You then add to it, it cements them as an undoubted, 566 00:36:33,760 --> 00:36:37,920 Speaker 2: unquestionable dynasty. And I talked to all this on the 567 00:36:37,960 --> 00:36:43,080 Speaker 2: show the other day yesterday. Actually, I think that this 568 00:36:43,520 --> 00:36:47,000 Speaker 2: that the Chiefs winning the Super Bowl this year would 569 00:36:47,040 --> 00:36:52,799 Speaker 2: put them number three for all time dynasties. I think 570 00:36:52,800 --> 00:36:55,640 Speaker 2: there have been six in the true dynasties in the 571 00:36:55,680 --> 00:36:59,160 Speaker 2: Super Bowl era, and then another seven or eight mini 572 00:36:59,640 --> 00:37:04,359 Speaker 2: almost dynasties, but the six would be in. 573 00:37:04,360 --> 00:37:05,600 Speaker 3: No order, if you will. 574 00:37:06,239 --> 00:37:09,839 Speaker 2: The Steelers of the seventies in six years, they went 575 00:37:09,880 --> 00:37:12,040 Speaker 2: to four Super Bowls, one all four went to five 576 00:37:12,120 --> 00:37:16,560 Speaker 2: conference championship games. The Niners from eighty one to eighty 577 00:37:16,680 --> 00:37:19,920 Speaker 2: nine in nine years went to four Super Bowls one 578 00:37:19,960 --> 00:37:24,919 Speaker 2: them all went to five conference championship games. The Patriots 579 00:37:24,920 --> 00:37:28,520 Speaker 2: from twenty eleven to twenty eighteen. I think the Patriots 580 00:37:28,600 --> 00:37:31,400 Speaker 2: thing has to be split up because they went nine 581 00:37:31,440 --> 00:37:35,040 Speaker 2: years without winning a Super Bowl. So I split up 582 00:37:35,080 --> 00:37:38,880 Speaker 2: into two. So the Patriots from eleven to eighteen in 583 00:37:38,960 --> 00:37:43,080 Speaker 2: that eight year stretch went to five Super Bowls. No 584 00:37:44,200 --> 00:37:48,560 Speaker 2: hold on, yeah, went to five Super Bowls, won three, 585 00:37:49,160 --> 00:37:49,560 Speaker 2: went to. 586 00:37:49,680 --> 00:37:51,920 Speaker 3: Eight conference championship games. 587 00:37:52,400 --> 00:37:55,640 Speaker 2: The Cowboys from ninety one to ninety five, ninety two 588 00:37:55,680 --> 00:37:58,680 Speaker 2: to ninety five, pardon me, in four years went to 589 00:37:58,719 --> 00:38:01,320 Speaker 2: three Super Bowls one all, went to all four conference 590 00:38:01,400 --> 00:38:06,359 Speaker 2: championship games. The Patriots from one to four in four 591 00:38:06,440 --> 00:38:09,239 Speaker 2: years went to three Super Bowls, one them all and 592 00:38:09,480 --> 00:38:13,400 Speaker 2: missed the playoffs in the middle year. And the Chiefs 593 00:38:14,040 --> 00:38:18,200 Speaker 2: from if they win this year nineteen to twenty three, 594 00:38:18,239 --> 00:38:21,240 Speaker 2: in a five year stretch, went to four super Bowls, 595 00:38:21,360 --> 00:38:24,560 Speaker 2: won three, went to conference championship game every single year. 596 00:38:24,600 --> 00:38:26,879 Speaker 2: Obviously went to the conference championship game of the year before, 597 00:38:26,920 --> 00:38:29,400 Speaker 2: but he kind of starts, you can't have a dynasty 598 00:38:29,600 --> 00:38:31,680 Speaker 2: kind of era a start in a year you don't 599 00:38:31,680 --> 00:38:34,200 Speaker 2: even make the Super Bowl if the Chiefs win it. 600 00:38:35,520 --> 00:38:40,160 Speaker 2: I think that the if we're ranking dynasties, it would 601 00:38:40,200 --> 00:38:46,880 Speaker 2: go Stealers from seventy four to seventy nine number one, 602 00:38:46,920 --> 00:38:51,040 Speaker 2: Patriots from eleven to eighteen number two, and Chiefs from 603 00:38:51,120 --> 00:38:54,920 Speaker 2: nineteen to twenty three number three, with the Chiefs able 604 00:38:55,280 --> 00:38:59,000 Speaker 2: to trump the Patriots if they win one more well, 605 00:38:59,000 --> 00:39:02,239 Speaker 2: maybe trump them all, but certainly trump the Patriots if 606 00:39:02,280 --> 00:39:05,040 Speaker 2: they win another one in the next few years. And 607 00:39:05,160 --> 00:39:08,560 Speaker 2: obviously if the Chiefs win this year and then they 608 00:39:08,560 --> 00:39:11,240 Speaker 2: were to win next year, then they are the greatest 609 00:39:11,320 --> 00:39:13,879 Speaker 2: dynasty ever because they nobody will have had more than 610 00:39:13,880 --> 00:39:16,799 Speaker 2: the four rings in this time frame, and. 611 00:39:16,760 --> 00:39:18,080 Speaker 3: They would have won three in a row. 612 00:39:18,680 --> 00:39:24,200 Speaker 2: So I guess the least sexy matchup is Baltimore Detroit, 613 00:39:24,920 --> 00:39:28,719 Speaker 2: So that would be number four. Still good storylines and that, 614 00:39:29,160 --> 00:39:32,680 Speaker 2: but that would be built around Lamar. The next matchup 615 00:39:32,719 --> 00:39:36,279 Speaker 2: would be Baltimore, San Francisco and that would be the 616 00:39:36,360 --> 00:39:38,560 Speaker 2: League MVP against the guy who a lot of people 617 00:39:38,600 --> 00:39:41,360 Speaker 2: thought was gonna be League MVP and party will Shanahan 618 00:39:41,440 --> 00:39:45,239 Speaker 2: finally get over the hump? And then number two would 619 00:39:45,280 --> 00:39:48,719 Speaker 2: be Kansadity Detroit Game one of the year, Game two 620 00:39:48,800 --> 00:39:51,400 Speaker 2: hundred and eighty five of the year, the most tortured 621 00:39:51,440 --> 00:39:55,160 Speaker 2: fan base maybe in all of sports, Detroit Lions versus 622 00:39:55,200 --> 00:39:58,080 Speaker 2: all of a sudden spoiled fan base the Kansaity Chiefs. 623 00:39:58,440 --> 00:40:01,680 Speaker 2: And then the best one would be cheap Niners because 624 00:40:01,719 --> 00:40:04,839 Speaker 2: it'd be mister Irrelevant against the greatest quarterback we've ever seen. 625 00:40:05,440 --> 00:40:09,040 Speaker 2: So that's what it would be, all right. Uh to 626 00:40:09,160 --> 00:40:13,520 Speaker 2: the divisional round gambling recap. I went one in three. 627 00:40:14,200 --> 00:40:18,520 Speaker 2: There's no way around it. Now, Tampa, I feel like 628 00:40:18,560 --> 00:40:22,440 Speaker 2: I was on the right side of Houston and San Francisco. 629 00:40:22,640 --> 00:40:26,640 Speaker 2: I obviously was not Kansas City, never a doubt throughout. 630 00:40:26,880 --> 00:40:29,560 Speaker 2: So we're four and six. There's three games left, So 631 00:40:29,880 --> 00:40:32,759 Speaker 2: just to finish above five hundred, I'm gonna have to 632 00:40:32,760 --> 00:40:35,319 Speaker 2: go three and oh the rest of the way, and 633 00:40:36,800 --> 00:40:39,840 Speaker 2: we'll start with Kansady Baltimore. Kansas City getting three and 634 00:40:39,840 --> 00:40:43,520 Speaker 2: a half is outrageous. You want to say Kansaity should 635 00:40:43,520 --> 00:40:45,640 Speaker 2: be a dog, so be it getting more than a 636 00:40:45,640 --> 00:40:52,440 Speaker 2: field goal is outrageous. And the trend stats are in 637 00:40:52,480 --> 00:40:55,760 Speaker 2: the last twenty years, super Bowl winning quarterbacks are fifty 638 00:40:55,920 --> 00:40:59,000 Speaker 2: nine to twenty four and two against the spread in 639 00:40:59,040 --> 00:41:03,879 Speaker 2: the playoffs. As a Mahomes has only been a dog 640 00:41:03,960 --> 00:41:07,400 Speaker 2: of more than three twice in his career, once a 641 00:41:07,440 --> 00:41:10,279 Speaker 2: three point loss to the Patriots his first year as 642 00:41:10,280 --> 00:41:10,960 Speaker 2: a starter. 643 00:41:11,160 --> 00:41:12,080 Speaker 3: And once. 644 00:41:13,360 --> 00:41:16,319 Speaker 2: Five point win against Pittsburgh in his third start ever. 645 00:41:17,160 --> 00:41:20,560 Speaker 2: Lamar sneaky not great as a home favorite, sixteen and 646 00:41:20,640 --> 00:41:24,480 Speaker 2: twenty three against the spread. Harball obviously legendary against the 647 00:41:24,520 --> 00:41:27,200 Speaker 2: spread because he's won in the playoffs fourteen and seven 648 00:41:27,239 --> 00:41:32,680 Speaker 2: against the spread. Because they've had so many road games 649 00:41:32,719 --> 00:41:34,720 Speaker 2: in his career, so they're dogs in most of those. 650 00:41:34,960 --> 00:41:36,000 Speaker 3: But this one's simple. 651 00:41:36,840 --> 00:41:38,920 Speaker 2: I think the defenses are a push, and I trust 652 00:41:38,920 --> 00:41:41,360 Speaker 2: Mahomes more than I trust Lamar. It's not a slide 653 00:41:41,360 --> 00:41:43,840 Speaker 2: on Lamar. I trust Mahomes more than I trust anybody. 654 00:41:44,640 --> 00:41:48,200 Speaker 2: And I think that the Chiefs offense is rolling right 655 00:41:48,239 --> 00:41:52,240 Speaker 2: now that before the kneel downs they were at almost 656 00:41:52,360 --> 00:41:56,239 Speaker 2: nine yards per play that game against Buffalo, they had 657 00:41:56,280 --> 00:42:00,319 Speaker 2: more yards per play than any playoff game of the 658 00:42:00,360 --> 00:42:04,560 Speaker 2: Mahomes era, and they barely had the ball and still 659 00:42:04,600 --> 00:42:07,880 Speaker 2: were a yard away from scoring thirty four points. So 660 00:42:08,440 --> 00:42:10,360 Speaker 2: I like the Chiefs in this spot. I like the 661 00:42:10,400 --> 00:42:13,000 Speaker 2: Chiefs to win out right in a very good game. 662 00:42:13,520 --> 00:42:14,520 Speaker 3: I like this is. 663 00:42:16,440 --> 00:42:20,320 Speaker 2: A back and forth, tightly contested, but I think the 664 00:42:20,400 --> 00:42:23,560 Speaker 2: Chiefs offense can really make some noise in this. This 665 00:42:23,680 --> 00:42:26,880 Speaker 2: feels like a I mean, I know it sounds like 666 00:42:26,960 --> 00:42:29,040 Speaker 2: cop out because it's the same scores last week. 667 00:42:29,280 --> 00:42:31,360 Speaker 3: But a twenty seven to twenty four. 668 00:42:31,719 --> 00:42:36,279 Speaker 2: Kansas City victory, all right, Detroit is getting seven at 669 00:42:36,320 --> 00:42:41,080 Speaker 2: San Francisco. That's way too many points. I'll take Detroit 670 00:42:41,120 --> 00:42:48,920 Speaker 2: plus the seven. And there is the question about Deebo. Obviously, 671 00:42:48,960 --> 00:42:51,200 Speaker 2: the Niners have been a totally different team. They're twelve 672 00:42:51,239 --> 00:42:54,960 Speaker 2: and one with him, one and four without him, and 673 00:42:55,080 --> 00:42:57,399 Speaker 2: the one win was last week where they didn't look 674 00:42:57,400 --> 00:43:00,480 Speaker 2: good without him. Even if he plays, you can imagine 675 00:43:00,520 --> 00:43:03,120 Speaker 2: he's gonna be one hundred percent, and if it's a 676 00:43:03,160 --> 00:43:06,319 Speaker 2: shoulder injury, the way he his style of play, you 677 00:43:06,360 --> 00:43:08,759 Speaker 2: feel like he could, you know, have to leave the 678 00:43:08,840 --> 00:43:14,120 Speaker 2: game despite it. I think Detroit can win this game outright. 679 00:43:15,480 --> 00:43:20,080 Speaker 2: I think that Detroit can block up San Francisco and 680 00:43:20,120 --> 00:43:22,319 Speaker 2: in which case golf is going to be able to 681 00:43:22,360 --> 00:43:26,799 Speaker 2: move the ball on them. So I will take Detroit 682 00:43:27,360 --> 00:43:31,200 Speaker 2: not only plus seven, but Detroit to win outright, and 683 00:43:31,239 --> 00:43:33,200 Speaker 2: we get in the final game of the year, the 684 00:43:33,239 --> 00:43:36,160 Speaker 2: first game of the year, Chiefs Lions to start the season, 685 00:43:36,480 --> 00:43:39,600 Speaker 2: Chiefs Lions to end the season. And shout out to 686 00:43:39,680 --> 00:43:44,200 Speaker 2: Danny Parkins. I've mentioned this pod before, but you guys 687 00:43:44,239 --> 00:43:47,640 Speaker 2: should check it out. It's a great football pod called 688 00:43:47,680 --> 00:43:51,279 Speaker 2: First In Pod with Danny Parkins and Andrew Philipponi. That 689 00:43:51,440 --> 00:43:54,200 Speaker 2: was Danny's pick before the season, and he's a game 690 00:43:54,239 --> 00:43:57,560 Speaker 2: away from nailing it all right, so we can show 691 00:43:57,600 --> 00:43:58,160 Speaker 2: you the picks. 692 00:43:58,239 --> 00:44:00,920 Speaker 3: I'm taking both dogs and both dogs to win outright. 693 00:44:02,120 --> 00:44:06,080 Speaker 2: So the offer this week is the Brducer's trying to 694 00:44:06,080 --> 00:44:08,640 Speaker 2: get me to parlay two goats. Mahomes to win the 695 00:44:08,680 --> 00:44:12,920 Speaker 2: Super Bowl MVP at plus three eighty and Djokovic to 696 00:44:12,960 --> 00:44:16,880 Speaker 2: win the Australian Open at minus one thirty. That combines 697 00:44:16,960 --> 00:44:21,360 Speaker 2: for a plus seven point fifty. I mean that seems 698 00:44:21,360 --> 00:44:25,320 Speaker 2: pretty good, you know what, Matt Ford, I'll take that offer. 699 00:44:26,440 --> 00:44:29,520 Speaker 2: I haven't watched any of the Australian Open. But so 700 00:44:29,719 --> 00:44:32,319 Speaker 2: I'm doing it blind, but I'm trusting Matt. I'll take 701 00:44:32,360 --> 00:44:35,759 Speaker 2: that offer and then a bonus offer, I have a 702 00:44:35,920 --> 00:44:39,560 Speaker 2: chance at redemption for my super Bowl. Exact to bet 703 00:44:39,640 --> 00:44:42,759 Speaker 2: Kansas City to beat Detroit in the Super Bowl right 704 00:44:42,800 --> 00:44:46,239 Speaker 2: now is fifteen to one. So here's the problem. So 705 00:44:46,760 --> 00:44:49,600 Speaker 2: I'm not gonna take that. And the reason I'm not 706 00:44:49,719 --> 00:44:53,239 Speaker 2: gonna take that is because you're gonna be able to 707 00:44:53,280 --> 00:44:57,120 Speaker 2: get better odds if you just bet that separately. So 708 00:44:57,200 --> 00:45:01,520 Speaker 2: if you just if you parlay Kansas City and Detroit 709 00:45:02,120 --> 00:45:05,839 Speaker 2: to win this weekend, you get that at ten to one. 710 00:45:06,360 --> 00:45:09,160 Speaker 2: So if you just were to do that, Kansas City 711 00:45:09,239 --> 00:45:12,520 Speaker 2: is not gonna be more than a minus two hundred 712 00:45:12,600 --> 00:45:15,520 Speaker 2: favorite in the Super Bowl if they were to play, 713 00:45:16,040 --> 00:45:18,120 Speaker 2: so and I don't even know if they'll be a 714 00:45:18,160 --> 00:45:20,359 Speaker 2: fake like what they would be in that game. I'm 715 00:45:20,400 --> 00:45:22,680 Speaker 2: sure those odds are out. I haven't looked. So if 716 00:45:22,719 --> 00:45:26,719 Speaker 2: you believe that's gonna happen, just bet, just bet it 717 00:45:26,840 --> 00:45:30,000 Speaker 2: this weekend and then take every single thing you won 718 00:45:30,560 --> 00:45:33,680 Speaker 2: and put it on the winner of the super Bowl. 719 00:45:33,719 --> 00:45:36,000 Speaker 2: That's just you're gonna get better, at least a touch 720 00:45:36,040 --> 00:45:38,799 Speaker 2: better than fifteen to one. All right, quick break, come 721 00:45:38,840 --> 00:45:40,800 Speaker 2: back and answer some of your listener questions. 722 00:45:40,800 --> 00:45:41,520 Speaker 3: Next What's Right? 723 00:45:47,600 --> 00:45:50,719 Speaker 2: Welcome back in What's Driving the Great Episode two eleven, 724 00:45:51,480 --> 00:45:53,919 Speaker 2: we'll get to your listener questions now. By the way, 725 00:45:54,040 --> 00:45:58,840 Speaker 2: shout out to Lloyd c one of our favorite listeners, 726 00:45:58,880 --> 00:46:02,680 Speaker 2: who once again one Jeopardy so he is now in 727 00:46:02,719 --> 00:46:06,200 Speaker 2: the semi finals for the Tournament of Champions. Also shout 728 00:46:06,239 --> 00:46:11,640 Speaker 2: out to Katie Nolan and Crewe for crushing on Celebrity Jeopardy. 729 00:46:11,719 --> 00:46:14,640 Speaker 2: One of my lifelong dreams is to get on Real Jeopardy, 730 00:46:15,080 --> 00:46:18,240 Speaker 2: but I'm not gonna lie. I will take the cop 731 00:46:18,280 --> 00:46:21,399 Speaker 2: out of getting on Celebrity Jeopardy if I can next year. 732 00:46:21,600 --> 00:46:26,160 Speaker 2: I would desperately, desperately like to do that. Mitchell b asked, 733 00:46:26,200 --> 00:46:28,160 Speaker 2: can you offer your point of view? And why Mahomes 734 00:46:28,200 --> 00:46:30,720 Speaker 2: is so successful against the blitz and golf is terrible 735 00:46:31,080 --> 00:46:32,919 Speaker 2: is their ability to read the blitz for the player 736 00:46:33,040 --> 00:46:35,160 Speaker 2: something else. So I don't actually know if goff is 737 00:46:35,239 --> 00:46:38,960 Speaker 2: terrible against the blitz. Golf is terrible when pressured. So 738 00:46:40,680 --> 00:46:45,880 Speaker 2: the phraseology of this matters. The best quarterbacks in football 739 00:46:46,440 --> 00:46:52,080 Speaker 2: are great historically against blitzes because when we say blitz. 740 00:46:52,960 --> 00:46:57,080 Speaker 2: What they mean is sending extra rushers at the quarterback, 741 00:46:57,520 --> 00:47:01,600 Speaker 2: which then makes it so your receivers are in one 742 00:47:01,640 --> 00:47:05,360 Speaker 2: on ones. The best quarterbacks can read that, diagnose it 743 00:47:05,440 --> 00:47:08,920 Speaker 2: pre snap, point out who needs to be blocked, and 744 00:47:08,960 --> 00:47:12,640 Speaker 2: then make quick decisions. And I don't have Golf's numbers 745 00:47:12,680 --> 00:47:14,640 Speaker 2: against the blitz. He might be good at that. I'm 746 00:47:14,640 --> 00:47:18,920 Speaker 2: not certain. What Golf is terrible at is when he 747 00:47:19,040 --> 00:47:24,160 Speaker 2: is pressured, and Mahomes this year wasn't great when pressured, 748 00:47:24,640 --> 00:47:28,319 Speaker 2: meaning and so the distinguishing factor is if you can 749 00:47:28,400 --> 00:47:33,560 Speaker 2: create pressure without blitzing. That's what is basically every quarterbacks 750 00:47:35,440 --> 00:47:39,480 Speaker 2: was the thing kryptonite. That's how the Giants beat Tom 751 00:47:39,480 --> 00:47:41,680 Speaker 2: Brady and two Super Bowls. They had no business doing it. 752 00:47:41,880 --> 00:47:44,960 Speaker 2: They had a four man pass rush that could get home, 753 00:47:45,440 --> 00:47:49,520 Speaker 2: so you could double cover guys. You could play coverage 754 00:47:49,600 --> 00:47:53,800 Speaker 2: and still create pressure on the quarterback. So that's the ideal. 755 00:47:53,920 --> 00:47:55,959 Speaker 2: Typically you have to send at least a little extra 756 00:47:55,960 --> 00:48:01,319 Speaker 2: pressure or blitzer to get to the quarterback. Where Mahomes 757 00:48:01,440 --> 00:48:04,120 Speaker 2: this year he wasn't great, but historically is is even 758 00:48:04,120 --> 00:48:10,560 Speaker 2: when he's pressured. It's because of his escapability athleticism. Compared 759 00:48:10,560 --> 00:48:14,880 Speaker 2: to GoF and arm talent to be so he's athletic 760 00:48:15,000 --> 00:48:17,719 Speaker 2: enough and escapable enough, which golf is not to get 761 00:48:17,719 --> 00:48:20,759 Speaker 2: away from maybe the first wave of pass rushers, and 762 00:48:20,800 --> 00:48:24,759 Speaker 2: then while on the move or without being able to 763 00:48:24,800 --> 00:48:27,560 Speaker 2: set his feet or without necessarily having his body positioned 764 00:48:27,560 --> 00:48:31,040 Speaker 2: the right way, he is able to make throws that 765 00:48:31,080 --> 00:48:33,799 Speaker 2: other guys can't. So that's why he is It's why 766 00:48:33,880 --> 00:48:37,200 Speaker 2: Josh Allen historically can be very good in those spots. 767 00:48:37,239 --> 00:48:40,400 Speaker 2: He just sometimes makes some bad decisions. Goff just doesn't 768 00:48:40,400 --> 00:48:43,319 Speaker 2: have the athletic ability for it, and I don't think 769 00:48:43,320 --> 00:48:46,839 Speaker 2: he has the eye discipline to keep his eyes upfield 770 00:48:46,880 --> 00:48:51,200 Speaker 2: when the rushers are coming towards him. Uh Shade Ocks asked, 771 00:48:51,200 --> 00:48:53,080 Speaker 2: if you're running the Cowboys, would you rather pay Dack 772 00:48:53,120 --> 00:48:56,000 Speaker 2: a massive contract like five years to eighty or give 773 00:48:56,040 --> 00:48:58,960 Speaker 2: Bakers some the ballpark of three years one oh five. Listen, 774 00:48:59,520 --> 00:49:02,919 Speaker 2: I I don't think either of those would be great 775 00:49:02,920 --> 00:49:04,920 Speaker 2: options for the Cowboys. What they're gonna do is pay 776 00:49:05,000 --> 00:49:08,239 Speaker 2: Dak Prescott the like. When people see Dak's deal, they're 777 00:49:08,280 --> 00:49:13,640 Speaker 2: not going to believe it that When Dak gets a 778 00:49:13,840 --> 00:49:19,240 Speaker 2: three year extension for one hundred and seventy five million dollars. 779 00:49:19,320 --> 00:49:21,680 Speaker 2: People are gonna think it's a misprint, but it's what's coming. 780 00:49:22,440 --> 00:49:27,040 Speaker 2: If Dak gets a four year deal for two hundred 781 00:49:27,040 --> 00:49:30,759 Speaker 2: and forty million dollars with the majority of it guaranteed, 782 00:49:30,800 --> 00:49:31,759 Speaker 2: people won't believe it. 783 00:49:31,760 --> 00:49:32,600 Speaker 3: But it's what's coming. 784 00:49:32,640 --> 00:49:34,799 Speaker 2: I spent too much time talking cap stuff early in 785 00:49:34,800 --> 00:49:37,760 Speaker 2: the show to go through it, but that's what's coming. 786 00:49:39,560 --> 00:49:42,319 Speaker 2: Scott Murphy as how much blame does Giannis deserve for 787 00:49:42,360 --> 00:49:44,920 Speaker 2: the dysfunction in Milwaukee given his growing input and pressure 788 00:49:44,920 --> 00:49:46,640 Speaker 2: he's put on the front office. I was working with 789 00:49:46,680 --> 00:49:51,399 Speaker 2: my buddy Ty Butler, who hosts radio for ESPN New York, 790 00:49:51,440 --> 00:49:56,120 Speaker 2: about this actually this morning. If the Bucks don't make 791 00:49:56,200 --> 00:50:00,400 Speaker 2: the finals this year at a minimums going to be 792 00:50:00,440 --> 00:50:06,239 Speaker 2: coming after Giannis a bit, the coaching changes, the Drew 793 00:50:07,080 --> 00:50:12,320 Speaker 2: Dame trade. That now, it's too early to blame anyone 794 00:50:12,320 --> 00:50:14,080 Speaker 2: because we don't know if it's gone wrong, but it's 795 00:50:14,080 --> 00:50:15,840 Speaker 2: certainly the early returns. 796 00:50:15,440 --> 00:50:16,480 Speaker 3: Haven't been good. 797 00:50:19,280 --> 00:50:21,399 Speaker 2: Noah Rodriguez asked, what were your thoughts on the Chet 798 00:50:21,440 --> 00:50:22,680 Speaker 2: Wimby matchup last night? 799 00:50:22,719 --> 00:50:25,160 Speaker 3: Who's your current rookie of the year. Chet's clearly the 800 00:50:25,239 --> 00:50:26,040 Speaker 3: rookie of the year. 801 00:50:26,440 --> 00:50:29,960 Speaker 2: I loved the competitiveness between Chet and Wimby last night 802 00:50:30,000 --> 00:50:32,600 Speaker 2: even though it was a blowout, and if both can 803 00:50:32,640 --> 00:50:36,000 Speaker 2: stay healthy, that should be a great rival re moving forward. 804 00:50:37,120 --> 00:50:39,799 Speaker 2: Jass had Sirianni gotten fired with Eagles job in a 805 00:50:39,800 --> 00:50:44,480 Speaker 2: better spot for Harball, unquestionably he'd get the most out 806 00:50:44,520 --> 00:50:46,759 Speaker 2: of Jalen and it's the far easier conference in a 807 00:50:46,760 --> 00:50:50,399 Speaker 2: way way easier division. Elijah King said, if you could 808 00:50:50,400 --> 00:50:53,560 Speaker 2: compare to Monday's basketball style of play to an NBA player, 809 00:50:53,920 --> 00:50:54,560 Speaker 2: who would it be? 810 00:50:55,560 --> 00:51:06,319 Speaker 3: Demanse at his peak was stylistically all right? 811 00:51:06,400 --> 00:51:11,920 Speaker 2: So who is just an knockdown shooter, say, you know 812 00:51:11,960 --> 00:51:15,840 Speaker 2: what with great athleticism Demonse at his peak? Stylistically was 813 00:51:15,880 --> 00:51:21,120 Speaker 2: Michael Porter Junior just an amazing jump shot, you know, 814 00:51:21,360 --> 00:51:27,880 Speaker 2: tall for his position, excellent athlete and could be a 815 00:51:27,960 --> 00:51:31,560 Speaker 2: lockdown defender when he opted to and has no interest 816 00:51:31,560 --> 00:51:35,240 Speaker 2: in dribbling the basketball. So Michael Porter Juniors, whose Demanse 817 00:51:35,560 --> 00:51:39,279 Speaker 2: was at his peak, again, send good vibes to Demanse's 818 00:51:39,320 --> 00:51:43,239 Speaker 2: he's dealing with a hoops injury.
