0:00:42.560 --> 0:00:45.560
<v Speaker 2>Welcome in Episode two eleven, What's right with Nick?

0:00:45.640 --> 0:00:45.840
<v Speaker 3>Right?

0:00:45.840 --> 0:00:48.640
<v Speaker 2>All right, so a few housekeeping items before we get going.

0:00:48.720 --> 0:00:54.800
<v Speaker 2>Demanse not here today. Sadly, Demonse hurt himself pretty badly

0:00:54.840 --> 0:00:58.120
<v Speaker 2>playing basketball the other night. I mean, he's gonna be fine,

0:00:58.240 --> 0:01:01.720
<v Speaker 2>but uh, hurt his leg and so he is out.

0:01:01.800 --> 0:01:04.920
<v Speaker 2>He is getting that checked on. We all wish Demonse

0:01:05.040 --> 0:01:05.800
<v Speaker 2>our best.

0:01:06.240 --> 0:01:06.600
<v Speaker 3>Sucks.

0:01:07.080 --> 0:01:12.160
<v Speaker 2>This guy played his entire from the day he was

0:01:12.200 --> 0:01:16.920
<v Speaker 2>born until he went off to college. He never suffered

0:01:16.959 --> 0:01:22.240
<v Speaker 2>a single injury of any sort playing sports or otherwise.

0:01:22.840 --> 0:01:26.000
<v Speaker 2>And then, kind of heartbreakingly if you ask me, his

0:01:26.040 --> 0:01:28.160
<v Speaker 2>body kind of betrayed him over the last five years.

0:01:28.200 --> 0:01:29.480
<v Speaker 3>He's suffered a couple.

0:01:29.800 --> 0:01:33.960
<v Speaker 2>Very significant injuries in college, got hurt post college, and

0:01:34.040 --> 0:01:39.720
<v Speaker 2>now playing ball in LA hurt his ankle pretty badly.

0:01:39.760 --> 0:01:42.880
<v Speaker 2>And so we wish Demonse our best. He's going to

0:01:42.920 --> 0:01:46.360
<v Speaker 2>get the news on that tomorrow and hopefully he can

0:01:46.400 --> 0:01:49.560
<v Speaker 2>be back sometime soon. But that's why he's not in

0:01:49.640 --> 0:01:53.040
<v Speaker 2>today in Happier News. You may have seen and by

0:01:53.080 --> 0:01:57.120
<v Speaker 2>the way, if you're you know, in if you want

0:01:57.120 --> 0:02:01.160
<v Speaker 2>to send Demonse well wishes via social media, do that

0:02:01.320 --> 0:02:03.760
<v Speaker 2>if you wanna. You know, I'm sure he's got nothing

0:02:03.760 --> 0:02:05.520
<v Speaker 2>but time on his hands at the moment, so I'm

0:02:05.560 --> 0:02:08.000
<v Speaker 2>sure he's probably running some great Fortnite sessions.

0:02:08.160 --> 0:02:08.840
<v Speaker 3>I'm not sure what.

0:02:08.960 --> 0:02:13.720
<v Speaker 2>His what his dating situation is, but if anybody wants to,

0:02:13.760 --> 0:02:17.160
<v Speaker 2>you know, send him a nice, hear, heartfelt message, I'm

0:02:17.160 --> 0:02:18.560
<v Speaker 2>sure it'd be greatly appreciated.

0:02:19.000 --> 0:02:22.919
<v Speaker 3>Now in Happier News, there you go. Appreciate that. Guys.

0:02:23.680 --> 0:02:25.799
<v Speaker 2>You guys have seen me a couple times wear these

0:02:25.919 --> 0:02:33.280
<v Speaker 2>Chip Bully sweatshirts. So it's my buddy, Joe Black's brand

0:02:33.840 --> 0:02:40.920
<v Speaker 2>poker player. Joe is right now at the Borgatta in

0:02:40.960 --> 0:02:45.400
<v Speaker 2>a multi day five thousand dollars buy in tournament. First

0:02:45.480 --> 0:02:49.880
<v Speaker 2>place is a little over six hundred thousand dollars, and

0:02:49.960 --> 0:02:54.480
<v Speaker 2>if you check the website given the updates, there's seventeen

0:02:54.560 --> 0:02:59.840
<v Speaker 2>people left and my buddy Joe chip Bully himself is

0:03:00.000 --> 0:03:03.840
<v Speaker 2>he's a massive chip leader with seventeen left with a

0:03:03.880 --> 0:03:07.880
<v Speaker 2>little over six hundred thousand up top and so listen,

0:03:07.960 --> 0:03:10.840
<v Speaker 2>long ways to go. They get the cards in the

0:03:10.880 --> 0:03:13.160
<v Speaker 2>air in about ninety minutes. I wish I could go

0:03:13.240 --> 0:03:16.560
<v Speaker 2>down and watch him, but I have the show. The

0:03:16.600 --> 0:03:20.760
<v Speaker 2>final table will be streamed tomorrow. Hopefully he's in it,

0:03:21.160 --> 0:03:24.160
<v Speaker 2>and really happy for him, so trying to send good

0:03:24.240 --> 0:03:28.520
<v Speaker 2>vibes his way by wearing the chip Bully gear. And actually,

0:03:28.880 --> 0:03:31.480
<v Speaker 2>since I know he's prepping, if we could clip this

0:03:31.560 --> 0:03:33.480
<v Speaker 2>little section, if you guys could send it to me,

0:03:33.520 --> 0:03:35.600
<v Speaker 2>I want to text it to him before the cards

0:03:35.640 --> 0:03:37.760
<v Speaker 2>get in the air. But we have a ton of

0:03:37.880 --> 0:03:40.640
<v Speaker 2>actual work to do today. Here is what missed the

0:03:40.720 --> 0:03:44.240
<v Speaker 2>cut for today's show. Te Pain do It halftime show

0:03:44.240 --> 0:03:47.800
<v Speaker 2>for Kansity Baltimore. I want to be on the record,

0:03:48.280 --> 0:03:51.400
<v Speaker 2>I'm anti halftime shows for anything but the Super Bowl.

0:03:52.120 --> 0:03:57.240
<v Speaker 2>I think halftime shows of non Super Bowl football games

0:03:57.560 --> 0:04:04.200
<v Speaker 2>should exclusively be uh, dogs doing awesome things, or kids

0:04:04.240 --> 0:04:08.800
<v Speaker 2>playing flag football games, or mascot's wrecking kids in flag

0:04:08.880 --> 0:04:12.360
<v Speaker 2>football games. That should be the entirety of halftime. Halftime

0:04:12.520 --> 0:04:16.200
<v Speaker 2>of NBA games should either be a magic act or

0:04:16.320 --> 0:04:19.440
<v Speaker 2>somebody you know, red Panda throwing the balls on her

0:04:19.480 --> 0:04:22.919
<v Speaker 2>head something cool like that, or once again, dogs, but

0:04:23.200 --> 0:04:26.480
<v Speaker 2>musical acts should be reserved for the Super Bowl. Australian

0:04:26.520 --> 0:04:28.800
<v Speaker 2>Open semiser underway. We're not going to get into that.

0:04:29.040 --> 0:04:31.920
<v Speaker 2>And the Team USA playerpool announced. I saw the thing.

0:04:31.960 --> 0:04:37.440
<v Speaker 2>Oh man, they didn't pick Draymond Green because of his outbursts.

0:04:37.440 --> 0:04:38.119
<v Speaker 3>Really, it's funny.

0:04:38.120 --> 0:04:40.000
<v Speaker 2>I thought they didn't pick Raymond Green because he's not

0:04:40.240 --> 0:04:42.119
<v Speaker 2>good enough anymore to be on Team USA.

0:04:42.160 --> 0:04:42.640
<v Speaker 3>Who knows?

0:04:42.800 --> 0:04:42.920
<v Speaker 2>All?

0:04:43.000 --> 0:04:43.200
<v Speaker 3>Right?

0:04:43.680 --> 0:04:46.680
<v Speaker 2>Major news before we get to conference championship a weekend.

0:04:47.080 --> 0:04:53.200
<v Speaker 2>Jim Harbaugh heading to the Los Angeles Chargers. That is

0:04:53.240 --> 0:04:57.520
<v Speaker 2>our top story today, and everyone wants to know. Nick

0:04:57.600 --> 0:05:01.880
<v Speaker 2>you nervous? I mean we basically could just re rack

0:05:02.600 --> 0:05:06.599
<v Speaker 2>from this time last year. Sean Payton heading to the

0:05:06.640 --> 0:05:11.039
<v Speaker 2>Denver Broncos. Nick you nervous, No, I'm not nervous.

0:05:10.839 --> 0:05:11.599
<v Speaker 3>For the Chiefs.

0:05:11.680 --> 0:05:16.880
<v Speaker 2>But Harbaugh is an excellent coach, and you could make

0:05:16.920 --> 0:05:20.840
<v Speaker 2>an argument that of all the coaching candidates Rabel, Belichick,

0:05:20.960 --> 0:05:24.960
<v Speaker 2>Ben Johnson, Harbaugh, all of them, that Harbaugh is the

0:05:25.000 --> 0:05:30.320
<v Speaker 2>best one, and he not surprisingly went to the team

0:05:30.760 --> 0:05:35.080
<v Speaker 2>with the best quarterbacks. So they will be better, There's

0:05:35.160 --> 0:05:38.960
<v Speaker 2>no doubt about that. And maybe we see Justin Herbert,

0:05:39.320 --> 0:05:43.400
<v Speaker 2>who came into the league as an A minus, which

0:05:43.520 --> 0:05:47.240
<v Speaker 2>was unbelievable for a rookie, and now, in my opinion,

0:05:47.320 --> 0:05:51.520
<v Speaker 2>has just maintained his status as an A minus, which

0:05:51.560 --> 0:05:55.839
<v Speaker 2>is then a little disappointing. Maybe we see him get

0:05:55.880 --> 0:05:58.200
<v Speaker 2>a tick or two better and the team as a

0:05:58.200 --> 0:06:02.479
<v Speaker 2>whole better coached. The problem for the Chargers is this,

0:06:03.120 --> 0:06:07.479
<v Speaker 2>and I hate to, on conference championship weekend start the

0:06:07.560 --> 0:06:11.960
<v Speaker 2>podcast with some cap nerd stuff, but we have to.

0:06:12.720 --> 0:06:15.880
<v Speaker 2>The Chargers are one of a handful of teams that

0:06:16.080 --> 0:06:20.479
<v Speaker 2>really took their shot and now have to retool a

0:06:20.520 --> 0:06:25.920
<v Speaker 2>bit so going into next season. The Los Angeles the

0:06:27.240 --> 0:06:31.320
<v Speaker 2>cap space available to teams. The team with the least

0:06:31.320 --> 0:06:34.559
<v Speaker 2>cap space eighty million over the cap. It's of course

0:06:34.600 --> 0:06:37.400
<v Speaker 2>the Saints. Now Saints fans will tell us the cap

0:06:37.440 --> 0:06:40.840
<v Speaker 2>is fake. Nick, you don't understand it. But that's because

0:06:40.880 --> 0:06:43.360
<v Speaker 2>they've been being lied to by their local media for

0:06:43.440 --> 0:06:46.440
<v Speaker 2>years and years and people covering the team. That bill

0:06:46.640 --> 0:06:49.200
<v Speaker 2>has been coming due over the last few years. It's

0:06:49.240 --> 0:06:51.440
<v Speaker 2>why that team can't get over the hump. And the

0:06:51.480 --> 0:06:54.680
<v Speaker 2>bill is fully coming due here in short order for them.

0:06:54.960 --> 0:06:59.320
<v Speaker 2>But after the Saints, the Dolphins and Bills both fifty

0:06:59.400 --> 0:07:03.000
<v Speaker 2>million over the cap, and the Chargers forty four million

0:07:03.040 --> 0:07:06.039
<v Speaker 2>over the cap, what do all three of those teams

0:07:06.080 --> 0:07:09.479
<v Speaker 2>have in common? All three of those teams thought, you

0:07:09.520 --> 0:07:16.040
<v Speaker 2>know what, we can go win right now, let's borrow

0:07:16.080 --> 0:07:20.600
<v Speaker 2>a bit from the future. And if we're Miami, screw it.

0:07:21.000 --> 0:07:23.960
<v Speaker 2>We have Wattle. We're gonna go get Tyreek Kill. We're

0:07:24.000 --> 0:07:28.160
<v Speaker 2>gonna trade for Jalen Ramsey. We're gonna upgrade our pass rush.

0:07:28.320 --> 0:07:31.680
<v Speaker 2>We're gonna try to win while our quarterbacks on his

0:07:31.840 --> 0:07:36.200
<v Speaker 2>rookie contract. Buffalo, we're so close. We're so close. We're

0:07:36.240 --> 0:07:39.600
<v Speaker 2>so close. You know what, We're gonna bring back Poyer

0:07:39.640 --> 0:07:42.600
<v Speaker 2>and hide this. You know in the past. We're gonna

0:07:42.640 --> 0:07:45.240
<v Speaker 2>go out in the big mistake, go out and sign

0:07:45.360 --> 0:07:50.400
<v Speaker 2>Von Miller. We a few years ago. We're gonna instead

0:07:50.400 --> 0:07:53.080
<v Speaker 2>of drafting a wide receiver. We're gonna trade that first

0:07:53.160 --> 0:07:55.880
<v Speaker 2>round pick for a very expensive wide receiver and stuff

0:07:55.880 --> 0:07:59.760
<v Speaker 2>on Diggs. We're trying to go right now. And then

0:07:59.760 --> 0:08:04.920
<v Speaker 2>there's the Chargers that traded for Khalil Mack, that kept,

0:08:05.280 --> 0:08:09.080
<v Speaker 2>brought Eckler back, that kept Mike Williams, kept Keenan Allen,

0:08:09.480 --> 0:08:15.640
<v Speaker 2>paid Derwin James paid Joey Bosa, paid justin Herbert, and

0:08:15.800 --> 0:08:19.720
<v Speaker 2>now the team is in a position wherein we'll go

0:08:19.840 --> 0:08:23.640
<v Speaker 2>through it quickly. They have one more year of Herbert cheap.

0:08:24.200 --> 0:08:27.040
<v Speaker 2>He's at twenty million next year, But that also means

0:08:27.400 --> 0:08:30.480
<v Speaker 2>you can't really restructure Herbert's deal to free up a

0:08:30.480 --> 0:08:34.160
<v Speaker 2>bunch of cap space. Eckler is a free agent. You

0:08:34.160 --> 0:08:38.160
<v Speaker 2>have no other running back you trust. Keenan Allen next

0:08:38.200 --> 0:08:44.320
<v Speaker 2>season right now has a thirty four million dollar cap hit.

0:08:44.800 --> 0:08:49.440
<v Speaker 2>He is going to be either extended, which I would

0:08:49.440 --> 0:08:52.760
<v Speaker 2>be nervous about at his age, restructured, but there's only

0:08:52.800 --> 0:08:55.560
<v Speaker 2>a year left, so again that's just adding void years

0:08:55.880 --> 0:08:59.240
<v Speaker 2>barring from the future, or cut to save twenty three

0:08:59.280 --> 0:09:03.880
<v Speaker 2>million bucks. Mike Williams next year has a thirty two

0:09:04.679 --> 0:09:08.080
<v Speaker 2>million dollar cap hit. You can save twenty million on

0:09:08.120 --> 0:09:12.160
<v Speaker 2>the cap by cutting him, maybe you extend him because

0:09:12.160 --> 0:09:14.760
<v Speaker 2>they're both Alan and Mike Williams are on the last

0:09:14.800 --> 0:09:18.520
<v Speaker 2>year of their deal. But they drafted Quinton Johnston believing

0:09:18.559 --> 0:09:20.560
<v Speaker 2>they were gonna move on for Mike Williams. But you

0:09:20.640 --> 0:09:23.920
<v Speaker 2>can't have Keenan Allen and Mike Williams combined for sixty

0:09:24.000 --> 0:09:28.240
<v Speaker 2>seven million dollar cap hit, and Quinton Johnston obviously had

0:09:28.280 --> 0:09:32.360
<v Speaker 2>one of the most disappointing rookie seasons of any highly

0:09:32.440 --> 0:09:33.320
<v Speaker 2>drafted wide receiver.

0:09:33.440 --> 0:09:34.319
<v Speaker 3>Last few years.

0:09:34.840 --> 0:09:37.480
<v Speaker 2>You keep it moving and you're like, okay, what about

0:09:37.480 --> 0:09:40.600
<v Speaker 2>the rest of their team. They obviously have a star

0:09:40.800 --> 0:09:44.800
<v Speaker 2>left tackle and Rashawn Slater. They have to extend him.

0:09:45.240 --> 0:09:47.640
<v Speaker 2>They cannot let him go, and the rest of the

0:09:47.679 --> 0:09:51.599
<v Speaker 2>offensive line has a big question mark. Corey Linsley unfortunately

0:09:51.960 --> 0:09:56.080
<v Speaker 2>has some health issues. He's got a fourteen million dollar

0:09:56.200 --> 0:09:58.880
<v Speaker 2>cap hit. You wonder if he they have to move

0:09:58.920 --> 0:10:01.400
<v Speaker 2>on from him, but he's a good player when he's healthy.

0:10:01.960 --> 0:10:06.480
<v Speaker 2>Defensively is where the pain is really coming. They don't

0:10:06.600 --> 0:10:10.240
<v Speaker 2>have a single d lineman you love, and they're not

0:10:10.400 --> 0:10:13.840
<v Speaker 2>gonna have this the cap space to go out and

0:10:13.880 --> 0:10:19.480
<v Speaker 2>improve it. Bosa and mac Khalil Mack next year, last

0:10:19.520 --> 0:10:24.280
<v Speaker 2>year of his deal thirty eight million dollars on the cap. Again,

0:10:24.760 --> 0:10:27.080
<v Speaker 2>you can extend him at thirty three years old if

0:10:27.120 --> 0:10:30.640
<v Speaker 2>you want. He's coming off a great year, but that

0:10:30.679 --> 0:10:33.240
<v Speaker 2>would be risky if you ask me. You can move

0:10:33.280 --> 0:10:36.320
<v Speaker 2>on from him and save twenty three million, but he

0:10:36.360 --> 0:10:39.400
<v Speaker 2>was the best player on your defense last year. Joey Bosa,

0:10:39.800 --> 0:10:43.120
<v Speaker 2>who has not lived up to he when he's healthy

0:10:43.280 --> 0:10:46.640
<v Speaker 2>and right, looks awesome, but how often is that Joey

0:10:46.679 --> 0:10:50.280
<v Speaker 2>Bosa thirty six million on the cap next season, and

0:10:50.360 --> 0:10:52.240
<v Speaker 2>moving on from him, which they're not gonna do, doesn't

0:10:52.240 --> 0:10:54.920
<v Speaker 2>even save you that much money. And then, of course

0:10:55.240 --> 0:11:01.520
<v Speaker 2>there's Derwin James, who at time, James looks like at

0:11:01.640 --> 0:11:03.720
<v Speaker 2>early in his career he's gonna be the best safety

0:11:03.720 --> 0:11:07.480
<v Speaker 2>in football. Instead, he's just been very good, but he

0:11:07.600 --> 0:11:11.520
<v Speaker 2>is paid like he's the best safety in football. So

0:11:11.840 --> 0:11:14.400
<v Speaker 2>and by the way, they have twenty million debt against

0:11:14.480 --> 0:11:17.480
<v Speaker 2>the cap next year because of the J. C. Jackson disaster.

0:11:18.000 --> 0:11:23.920
<v Speaker 2>I say all that to say this, the Chargers are

0:11:23.960 --> 0:11:27.559
<v Speaker 2>not going to have enough talent to be a true contender.

0:11:28.200 --> 0:11:31.600
<v Speaker 2>They don't have the money to fill in their holes,

0:11:32.040 --> 0:11:34.720
<v Speaker 2>and they are going to have to move on from

0:11:34.840 --> 0:11:39.800
<v Speaker 2>some of their more productive older players. So in a

0:11:39.880 --> 0:11:45.560
<v Speaker 2>few years we'll see what the Chargers look like. And

0:11:45.760 --> 0:11:53.040
<v Speaker 2>because of hardball, they are scary adjacent. But the they

0:11:53.040 --> 0:11:58.360
<v Speaker 2>are right now not competing with the Chiefs. Right now,

0:11:58.880 --> 0:12:07.880
<v Speaker 2>they are competing with the Jags, the Broncos, the other

0:12:08.800 --> 0:12:13.720
<v Speaker 2>theoretically talented teams that just missed out on the playoffs

0:12:13.920 --> 0:12:16.960
<v Speaker 2>to try to get back in the tournament. Because when

0:12:16.960 --> 0:12:20.199
<v Speaker 2>we talk about when you look at the AFC and

0:12:20.240 --> 0:12:24.560
<v Speaker 2>you say, Okay, who are we confident next season is

0:12:24.640 --> 0:12:27.720
<v Speaker 2>going to be a playoff team. I know it changes

0:12:27.840 --> 0:12:31.360
<v Speaker 2>year over year, but with the seven playoff spots that

0:12:31.480 --> 0:12:35.360
<v Speaker 2>it's very And I understand there's injuries, but Kansas City's

0:12:35.440 --> 0:12:41.400
<v Speaker 2>not going anywhere. Cincinnati was despite all the quarterback injuries

0:12:41.640 --> 0:12:43.960
<v Speaker 2>and Burrow being hurt before and then during the year,

0:12:44.360 --> 0:12:48.520
<v Speaker 2>still won nine games. I don't think Houston's getting worse.

0:12:49.200 --> 0:12:52.800
<v Speaker 2>I don't think Baltimore's going anywhere, and I don't think Buffalo,

0:12:52.960 --> 0:12:57.319
<v Speaker 2>as far as missing the playoffs, is going to go anywhere.

0:12:57.480 --> 0:12:58.600
<v Speaker 3>That's five guys.

0:13:00.200 --> 0:13:04.120
<v Speaker 2>That doesn't mention Miami, that doesn't mention Cleveland, that doesn't

0:13:04.200 --> 0:13:08.120
<v Speaker 2>mention Pittsburgh, that doesn't mention the Jags, that doesn't mention

0:13:08.320 --> 0:13:11.959
<v Speaker 2>the Chargers the Broncos. Obviously the Chargers made a great hire.

0:13:12.320 --> 0:13:15.520
<v Speaker 2>That hire does not make them anything close to a

0:13:15.559 --> 0:13:21.000
<v Speaker 2>Super Bowl contender, all right, Next, Lamar Jackson. So I

0:13:21.000 --> 0:13:24.200
<v Speaker 2>did an all time quarterback pyramid that I'm getting some

0:13:24.240 --> 0:13:28.600
<v Speaker 2>pushback on because it was I'll try to do it

0:13:28.640 --> 0:13:31.640
<v Speaker 2>off the top of my head. But here's you know,

0:13:31.679 --> 0:13:33.959
<v Speaker 2>it's a pyramid. So it's one guy in row one,

0:13:34.080 --> 0:13:36.560
<v Speaker 2>two in row two, so on and so forth. And

0:13:36.640 --> 0:13:40.280
<v Speaker 2>this was the pyramid. Row one was Brady, Row two

0:13:40.640 --> 0:13:49.360
<v Speaker 2>was Mahomes and Manning. Row three was Montana, Lway and.

0:13:50.960 --> 0:13:51.440
<v Speaker 3>Marino.

0:13:52.240 --> 0:13:57.960
<v Speaker 2>So there's the top six. Row four was Rogers, Farv

0:13:59.080 --> 0:14:01.199
<v Speaker 2>Staubach and.

0:14:02.920 --> 0:14:03.600
<v Speaker 3>Steve Young.

0:14:05.120 --> 0:14:08.120
<v Speaker 2>Steve Young, who I think is eternally underrated. I think

0:14:08.200 --> 0:14:11.679
<v Speaker 2>Steve Young the only quarterback I've ever seen that reminded

0:14:11.720 --> 0:14:14.839
<v Speaker 2>me that Mahomes reminds me of is Steve Young. And

0:14:14.880 --> 0:14:27.440
<v Speaker 2>then row five was Bradshaw, Breeze, Kurt Warner, Aikman, and

0:14:27.480 --> 0:14:31.280
<v Speaker 2>then in the last spot was Lamar, which means I

0:14:31.320 --> 0:14:35.000
<v Speaker 2>had him ahead of Big Ben, Jim Kelly. And this

0:14:35.200 --> 0:14:37.520
<v Speaker 2>was post merger, so I'm not counting Bart Starr and

0:14:37.560 --> 0:14:41.360
<v Speaker 2>Johnny Unitis, and those guys had him ahead of If

0:14:41.360 --> 0:14:43.920
<v Speaker 2>you guys in the control room think there's anyone else that's,

0:14:44.000 --> 0:14:47.960
<v Speaker 2>you know, fringe that I didn't mention, tell me, but

0:14:48.000 --> 0:14:50.040
<v Speaker 2>I had him ahead of every one of them, those guys,

0:14:50.960 --> 0:14:53.080
<v Speaker 2>I just want and I called him a Hall of Famer.

0:14:53.960 --> 0:14:55.760
<v Speaker 3>I want to be very clear on this.

0:14:57.600 --> 0:15:02.520
<v Speaker 2>Calling him a Hall of Famer is not really a

0:15:02.680 --> 0:15:03.480
<v Speaker 2>judgment call.

0:15:03.560 --> 0:15:07.080
<v Speaker 3>At this point. He has two MVPs.

0:15:07.520 --> 0:15:10.520
<v Speaker 2>I'm assigning him this year's MVP because he's going to

0:15:10.600 --> 0:15:10.960
<v Speaker 2>win it.

0:15:13.080 --> 0:15:14.440
<v Speaker 3>That makes him a Hall of Famer.

0:15:15.560 --> 0:15:21.040
<v Speaker 2>Here is the full list of people with multiple NFL MVPs.

0:15:21.520 --> 0:15:26.720
<v Speaker 2>Peyton Mannings got five, Aaron's got four, Jim Brown, Johnny

0:15:26.800 --> 0:15:31.600
<v Speaker 2>united Is, Brett faarv Tom Brady have three. Joe Montana,

0:15:32.120 --> 0:15:38.000
<v Speaker 2>Steve Young, Kurt Warner, Patrick Mahomes all have two, and

0:15:38.120 --> 0:15:45.520
<v Speaker 2>now so does Lamar Jackson. Kurt Warner got in. He

0:15:45.560 --> 0:15:48.760
<v Speaker 2>didn't get in on his first year of eligibility, but

0:15:48.920 --> 0:15:51.040
<v Speaker 2>he got in, and I don't think many people were

0:15:51.080 --> 0:15:54.240
<v Speaker 2>worried that he wasn't going to get in. Steve Young

0:15:54.360 --> 0:15:57.520
<v Speaker 2>got in either on his first or second year of eligibility.

0:15:57.880 --> 0:16:02.560
<v Speaker 2>Everyone else was a first ballot guy it is unequivocal

0:16:03.080 --> 0:16:06.480
<v Speaker 2>that Lamar Jackson with two MVPs is going to be.

0:16:06.480 --> 0:16:07.240
<v Speaker 3>A Hall of Famer.

0:16:08.360 --> 0:16:13.960
<v Speaker 2>And if you want to argue like that, putting him

0:16:14.040 --> 0:16:19.520
<v Speaker 2>in that pantheon is too premature. He now has the

0:16:19.920 --> 0:16:23.560
<v Speaker 2>pelts on the wall that says it's not now.

0:16:23.680 --> 0:16:25.320
<v Speaker 3>As far as.

0:16:26.880 --> 0:16:31.760
<v Speaker 2>This game itself, people are wondering, all right, we have

0:16:31.840 --> 0:16:38.040
<v Speaker 2>been trying to create a Brady Manning for Patrick Mahomes,

0:16:38.800 --> 0:16:43.760
<v Speaker 2>and it was Josh Allen. People briefly flirted with the

0:16:43.800 --> 0:16:46.600
<v Speaker 2>idea of it being Burrow. They then really tried to

0:16:46.680 --> 0:16:49.760
<v Speaker 2>sell us all week last week again that it was

0:16:49.840 --> 0:16:52.600
<v Speaker 2>Josh Allen and now people want it to be Lamar.

0:16:53.720 --> 0:16:56.520
<v Speaker 2>But and I talked about this on the TV show,

0:16:56.560 --> 0:16:58.520
<v Speaker 2>but it's worth time again here.

0:17:00.000 --> 0:17:00.840
<v Speaker 3>People are.

0:17:02.760 --> 0:17:10.560
<v Speaker 2>Misremembering what Brady Manning was. Brady Manning was a legitimate,

0:17:11.480 --> 0:17:16.640
<v Speaker 2>real debate that there was not a vast majority on

0:17:16.640 --> 0:17:23.200
<v Speaker 2>one side or the other for the entirety of Peyton

0:17:23.200 --> 0:17:27.800
<v Speaker 2>Manning's career when they went Brady and Manning's career when

0:17:27.800 --> 0:17:28.520
<v Speaker 2>they overlapped.

0:17:28.680 --> 0:17:32.480
<v Speaker 3>So let me lay it out for you. Okay, let's

0:17:32.560 --> 0:17:33.040
<v Speaker 3>go to.

0:17:34.480 --> 0:17:40.800
<v Speaker 2>Heading into the two thousand and six NFL season up

0:17:40.840 --> 0:17:42.639
<v Speaker 2>to that point, and I want to make sure I

0:17:42.640 --> 0:17:48.240
<v Speaker 2>have this right. Peyton Manning already had two league MVPs

0:17:49.160 --> 0:17:55.000
<v Speaker 2>and Tom Brady hadn't sniffed one. Conversely, up to that

0:17:55.119 --> 0:17:59.639
<v Speaker 2>point they had played twice in the playoffs. Peyton hadn't

0:17:59.680 --> 0:18:04.160
<v Speaker 2>played well in either game, Brady had beaten him both times,

0:18:04.480 --> 0:18:06.360
<v Speaker 2>and Brady had three rings.

0:18:07.040 --> 0:18:10.920
<v Speaker 3>So in the mid two thousand aughts, it was well.

0:18:10.800 --> 0:18:16.840
<v Speaker 2>One guy, I test accolades stats is so clearly better.

0:18:17.440 --> 0:18:20.600
<v Speaker 2>The other guy, on the other hand, has three Super

0:18:20.600 --> 0:18:23.639
<v Speaker 2>Bowl rings. Is two to zero against him in the playoffs.

0:18:24.119 --> 0:18:28.360
<v Speaker 2>You could make strong arguments on either side. Then in

0:18:28.400 --> 0:18:32.280
<v Speaker 2>the two thousand and six season, they play once again

0:18:32.359 --> 0:18:36.200
<v Speaker 2>in the playoffs tom Brady, but for the first time

0:18:36.520 --> 0:18:40.719
<v Speaker 2>it's in Peyton's building. Tom Brady's team is up twenty

0:18:40.760 --> 0:18:43.720
<v Speaker 2>one to three at halftime. It looks like it's going

0:18:43.760 --> 0:18:47.680
<v Speaker 2>to just be another time the Patriots roll, Peyton's team

0:18:48.119 --> 0:18:52.120
<v Speaker 2>storms all the way back, then goes on to win

0:18:52.160 --> 0:18:56.680
<v Speaker 2>the Super Bowl two weeks later. And now the playoff

0:18:56.760 --> 0:18:59.560
<v Speaker 2>matchups are two to one, the Super Bowls are three

0:18:59.600 --> 0:19:05.240
<v Speaker 2>to one, but Peyton's got a couple MVPs. Okay smash

0:19:05.320 --> 0:19:11.160
<v Speaker 2>cut Now forward five more years. Tom Brady now has

0:19:11.200 --> 0:19:14.560
<v Speaker 2>won a couple MVPs and has made a couple more

0:19:14.600 --> 0:19:18.919
<v Speaker 2>Super Bowls, but has lost them both. Peyton made another

0:19:19.000 --> 0:19:23.919
<v Speaker 2>Super Bowl, won another two MVPs, but didn't win the

0:19:23.960 --> 0:19:29.800
<v Speaker 2>Super Bowl. Peyton goes to Denver. They play in the

0:19:29.840 --> 0:19:35.920
<v Speaker 2>postseason in Denver. Peyton out plays him, Peyton's team wins.

0:19:36.480 --> 0:19:42.960
<v Speaker 2>Peyton wins his fifth MVP, has a fifty five touchdown season.

0:19:43.720 --> 0:19:47.199
<v Speaker 2>The playoff records are now two to two. Peyton is

0:19:47.240 --> 0:19:51.879
<v Speaker 2>now going to another Super Bowl. In that Tom Brady

0:19:51.920 --> 0:19:55.720
<v Speaker 2>hasn't won a super Bowl in a decade. In that moment,

0:19:56.359 --> 0:20:00.439
<v Speaker 2>most people thought Brady Manning is Peyton.

0:20:01.119 --> 0:20:01.520
<v Speaker 3>Okay.

0:20:02.960 --> 0:20:06.560
<v Speaker 2>They then lose that Super Bowl. The Patriots win the

0:20:06.600 --> 0:20:11.920
<v Speaker 2>next year, so now it's four to one Super Bowls Peyton.

0:20:11.960 --> 0:20:14.840
<v Speaker 2>Then in twenty fifteen they play again in the playoffs.

0:20:15.200 --> 0:20:18.399
<v Speaker 2>Peyton beats him again, even though Peyton that year was

0:20:18.440 --> 0:20:22.640
<v Speaker 2>not good. The Broncos win the Super Bowl and Peyton retires.

0:20:23.520 --> 0:20:28.320
<v Speaker 2>So the day Peyton retired, the ledger looked like this.

0:20:29.480 --> 0:20:36.679
<v Speaker 2>It was MVPs were five to two Peyton. Playoff matchups

0:20:37.320 --> 0:20:41.200
<v Speaker 2>were three to two in Peyton's favor.

0:20:41.960 --> 0:20:44.880
<v Speaker 3>Super Bowls were four to two.

0:20:45.200 --> 0:20:49.440
<v Speaker 2>In Brady's favor, and a lot of people the day

0:20:49.520 --> 0:20:53.800
<v Speaker 2>Peyton Manning retired believed that's the best quarterback of his generation.

0:20:55.200 --> 0:20:59.440
<v Speaker 2>And then after he retired, Tom Brady in twenty sixteen

0:20:59.840 --> 0:21:02.040
<v Speaker 2>went to the Super Bowl, had the twenty eight to

0:21:02.080 --> 0:21:06.160
<v Speaker 2>three comeback, got his fifth ring. In twenty seventeen, went

0:21:06.200 --> 0:21:09.240
<v Speaker 2>to the Super Bowl, threw for five hundred yards, lost

0:21:09.280 --> 0:21:13.160
<v Speaker 2>in a shootout, twenty and one League MVP. Twenty eighteen,

0:21:13.480 --> 0:21:15.840
<v Speaker 2>went to beat Patrick Mahomes in the AFC Title Game

0:21:15.880 --> 0:21:18.400
<v Speaker 2>in a classic, went to the Super Bowl, won it.

0:21:18.720 --> 0:21:22.440
<v Speaker 2>That's his sixth ring. Twenty nineteen, last year with the Patriots,

0:21:22.720 --> 0:21:26.320
<v Speaker 2>twenty twenty went to Tampa Bay, went to the Super Bowl,

0:21:26.480 --> 0:21:30.040
<v Speaker 2>won Super Bowl MVP, and twenty twenty one came in

0:21:30.119 --> 0:21:36.679
<v Speaker 2>second and League MVP and now Peyton Tom it's not

0:21:36.760 --> 0:21:43.480
<v Speaker 2>even a debate. So but for the entirety of when

0:21:43.520 --> 0:21:47.840
<v Speaker 2>their careers overlapped, there were strong arguments on both sides

0:21:47.880 --> 0:21:51.400
<v Speaker 2>of it. So I give that history to say this.

0:21:51.960 --> 0:21:58.960
<v Speaker 2>There is no goddamn Peyton Brady for Mahomes anyone, there

0:21:59.119 --> 0:22:03.480
<v Speaker 2>is no argument, there is no rival. Now it doesn't

0:22:03.520 --> 0:22:06.439
<v Speaker 2>mean no one will ever beat him. Hell, Joe Burrow

0:22:06.440 --> 0:22:09.639
<v Speaker 2>beat him. Lamar might beat him on Sunday.

0:22:09.600 --> 0:22:10.240
<v Speaker 3>We'll see.

0:22:11.359 --> 0:22:20.479
<v Speaker 2>But it is far far closer to Tiger Phil or

0:22:20.600 --> 0:22:27.119
<v Speaker 2>Gretzky Lemieux or Gretzky Messier than anything we've seen in

0:22:27.160 --> 0:22:34.240
<v Speaker 2>the NFL, where there is a unquestioned, clear best and

0:22:34.280 --> 0:22:40.440
<v Speaker 2>then a different people jockeying for second best. That's what

0:22:40.560 --> 0:22:50.240
<v Speaker 2>the rivalry actually is. Lamar versus Burrow and Josh. That's

0:22:50.280 --> 0:22:56.760
<v Speaker 2>the rivalry so I and by the way, Lamar might win.

0:22:56.920 --> 0:23:01.520
<v Speaker 2>They might win this weekend. I folks that watch this

0:23:01.560 --> 0:23:02.440
<v Speaker 2>show or watch.

0:23:02.280 --> 0:23:03.040
<v Speaker 3>The TV show.

0:23:03.119 --> 0:23:08.320
<v Speaker 2>No, I thought it was going to be impossible for

0:23:08.480 --> 0:23:12.119
<v Speaker 2>Miami to win in the wildcard round. I thought the

0:23:12.200 --> 0:23:16.240
<v Speaker 2>Chiefs were clearly the better team than Buffalo, and I

0:23:16.280 --> 0:23:18.919
<v Speaker 2>thought they were gonna win by ten. The fumbled the

0:23:18.920 --> 0:23:23.480
<v Speaker 2>goal line, blew that. But whatever I was, as Brew

0:23:23.520 --> 0:23:27.160
<v Speaker 2>would say, ten toes down confident in both of those games.

0:23:28.119 --> 0:23:32.640
<v Speaker 2>To me, this is a sixty to forty game, sixty

0:23:32.640 --> 0:23:35.679
<v Speaker 2>five to thirty five game. Now, I think the Chiefs

0:23:35.680 --> 0:23:42.520
<v Speaker 2>should be favored because if Patrick Mahomes isn't playing Tom

0:23:42.560 --> 0:23:46.080
<v Speaker 2>Brady in the playoffs, he's thirteen and one and the

0:23:46.160 --> 0:23:50.720
<v Speaker 2>one is an overtime loss to Burrow, and I don't

0:23:50.720 --> 0:23:54.199
<v Speaker 2>think anybody when Patrick's healthy. Hell, last year, he wasn't healthy.

0:23:55.600 --> 0:23:58.760
<v Speaker 2>I mean the last interception Patrick threw in the playoffs

0:23:59.080 --> 0:24:01.720
<v Speaker 2>was in that loss to Joe Burrow. Five straight games

0:24:01.720 --> 0:24:05.040
<v Speaker 2>without an interception in the playoffs, league record, and so

0:24:06.440 --> 0:24:12.480
<v Speaker 2>I I understand that the Ravens are an excellent team

0:24:12.520 --> 0:24:14.359
<v Speaker 2>and Lamar's playing the best football of his life.

0:24:14.680 --> 0:24:16.040
<v Speaker 3>But there is no rivalry.

0:24:16.840 --> 0:24:19.720
<v Speaker 2>There isn't And the producers are asking me if this

0:24:19.800 --> 0:24:22.119
<v Speaker 2>is me hedging. This isn't me hedging, This is me

0:24:22.160 --> 0:24:23.680
<v Speaker 2>giving my honest thoughts.

0:24:25.520 --> 0:24:27.639
<v Speaker 3>No matter how.

0:24:30.200 --> 0:24:32.520
<v Speaker 2>How do you say this, no matter how good I

0:24:32.600 --> 0:24:37.119
<v Speaker 2>believe the Chiefs are. I recognize that this is not

0:24:37.200 --> 0:24:40.400
<v Speaker 2>a year where they are head and shoulders better than

0:24:40.840 --> 0:24:43.959
<v Speaker 2>the second or third best teams in football. Now, I

0:24:44.000 --> 0:24:48.199
<v Speaker 2>do believe this Sunday at three o'clock on CBS is

0:24:48.240 --> 0:24:53.240
<v Speaker 2>the Super Bowl. The winner of Sunday's game is going

0:24:53.280 --> 0:24:55.320
<v Speaker 2>to roll in the Super Bowl.

0:24:55.600 --> 0:24:56.240
<v Speaker 3>I believe that.

0:24:57.359 --> 0:24:59.920
<v Speaker 2>Sorry to my Lions fan friends, and I guess less star.

0:25:00.000 --> 0:25:02.600
<v Speaker 2>Sorry to the my Niners fan friends because Niner fans

0:25:02.600 --> 0:25:04.080
<v Speaker 2>hate me. So I don't think I have a lot

0:25:04.080 --> 0:25:06.600
<v Speaker 2>of friends in the Bay Area.

0:25:06.400 --> 0:25:13.840
<v Speaker 3>Sadly, but this is gonna be a great game.

0:25:14.960 --> 0:25:18.040
<v Speaker 2>And the other thing the producers asked me is and

0:25:18.200 --> 0:25:21.000
<v Speaker 2>I'm more afraid of Lamar with his arm or his legs.

0:25:22.359 --> 0:25:24.800
<v Speaker 2>This is not about Lamar. It's more about how the

0:25:24.880 --> 0:25:27.880
<v Speaker 2>Chiefs are built. I'm more afraid of him with his legs.

0:25:28.320 --> 0:25:31.159
<v Speaker 2>I trust the Chiefs corners. I think the Chiefs have

0:25:31.240 --> 0:25:35.720
<v Speaker 2>the best pair of corners in football, and I am

0:25:35.920 --> 0:25:40.679
<v Speaker 2>interested in if they get Mark Andrew's back, if that

0:25:41.119 --> 0:25:44.480
<v Speaker 2>is going to be as good for Baltimore as they think.

0:25:45.000 --> 0:25:49.119
<v Speaker 2>Because Lamar, once Mark Andrews went down, was kind of

0:25:49.280 --> 0:25:55.600
<v Speaker 2>forced to start to diversify his receiving options. I wonder

0:25:55.600 --> 0:25:57.520
<v Speaker 2>if Mark Andrews out there, if he tries to force

0:25:57.600 --> 0:26:00.840
<v Speaker 2>him the ball, but maybe not that now Andrews likely

0:26:00.880 --> 0:26:02.920
<v Speaker 2>in a two tight end set that could be tough.

0:26:02.720 --> 0:26:03.159
<v Speaker 3>To deal with.

0:26:03.440 --> 0:26:08.880
<v Speaker 2>Ravens are a very very good team, but I think

0:26:08.920 --> 0:26:12.359
<v Speaker 2>the Chiefs defense and Ravens defense is a wash.

0:26:12.720 --> 0:26:13.360
<v Speaker 3>I think that.

0:26:16.640 --> 0:26:20.520
<v Speaker 2>As well as Lamar is played, it is unquestioned which

0:26:20.560 --> 0:26:25.240
<v Speaker 2>quarterback you trust more in this game. And Lamar with

0:26:25.359 --> 0:26:29.800
<v Speaker 2>his legs breaking contain is a scary thought. But the

0:26:29.880 --> 0:26:32.280
<v Speaker 2>Chiefs had a pretty good game plan for that last

0:26:32.280 --> 0:26:35.840
<v Speaker 2>week against Josh and the Bills, where they gave them

0:26:36.359 --> 0:26:41.080
<v Speaker 2>all the short stuff they wanted and because of that

0:26:41.760 --> 0:26:45.720
<v Speaker 2>they kind of got eaten up on the ground. But

0:26:45.800 --> 0:26:49.440
<v Speaker 2>what they didn't do was give up a single play

0:26:49.480 --> 0:26:54.120
<v Speaker 2>of twenty plus yards. All right, next, you guys, right,

0:26:54.480 --> 0:26:56.840
<v Speaker 2>you've been calling the Chiefs disrespected all year. Being a

0:26:56.840 --> 0:26:58.600
<v Speaker 2>three and a half point road dog versus the best

0:26:58.600 --> 0:27:01.080
<v Speaker 2>team in the league seems part for the Meanwhile, the

0:27:01.119 --> 0:27:03.960
<v Speaker 2>Lions are a full touchdown dog after San Francisco nearly

0:27:04.000 --> 0:27:06.400
<v Speaker 2>lost to Green Bay a week ago. Who is actually

0:27:06.440 --> 0:27:10.679
<v Speaker 2>the disrespected team? Well, the Chiefs have been disrespected the

0:27:10.880 --> 0:27:13.600
<v Speaker 2>entire season, as if no one had watched football or

0:27:14.119 --> 0:27:17.720
<v Speaker 2>Mahomes prior to this year. It was ridiculous. This weekend,

0:27:19.040 --> 0:27:22.960
<v Speaker 2>it is the Lions. The Lions have been It's very

0:27:23.000 --> 0:27:27.600
<v Speaker 2>odd because the Lions started the year off by going

0:27:27.640 --> 0:27:32.920
<v Speaker 2>to Kansas City with thirty million people watching. However, many

0:27:32.920 --> 0:27:36.879
<v Speaker 2>people were watching and beating the Chiefs, and despite that,

0:27:36.920 --> 0:27:39.880
<v Speaker 2>they've never really gotten the respective. Oh, they're a cute team,

0:27:39.880 --> 0:27:42.560
<v Speaker 2>they're a good story. And I'm guilty of that to

0:27:42.600 --> 0:27:45.160
<v Speaker 2>a degree as well. I haven't looked at the Lions

0:27:45.200 --> 0:27:48.200
<v Speaker 2>as an A List contender, and they are a game.

0:27:48.040 --> 0:27:49.240
<v Speaker 3>Away from the Super Bowl.

0:27:49.840 --> 0:27:51.879
<v Speaker 2>A lot of that has to do with the fact

0:27:52.440 --> 0:27:58.359
<v Speaker 2>that I think it's twofold. One is the Lions stars

0:27:58.520 --> 0:28:05.120
<v Speaker 2>skill guys have art haven't been stars as long as

0:28:05.160 --> 0:28:07.960
<v Speaker 2>some of the other team stars skill guys, even if

0:28:07.960 --> 0:28:08.880
<v Speaker 2>they're just as good.

0:28:09.520 --> 0:28:10.680
<v Speaker 3>Gibbs is awesome.

0:28:11.320 --> 0:28:15.960
<v Speaker 2>Laporta but before he got hurt was arguably as a

0:28:16.080 --> 0:28:18.960
<v Speaker 2>rookie having the best year of any tight end, and

0:28:19.040 --> 0:28:25.840
<v Speaker 2>Aman Ross Saint Brown might be the most overlooked awesome, awesome.

0:28:25.520 --> 0:28:28.359
<v Speaker 3>Receiver in the league. So that hurts them.

0:28:28.400 --> 0:28:32.400
<v Speaker 2>The other thing that hurts them, obviously the defense is susceptible,

0:28:32.400 --> 0:28:36.399
<v Speaker 2>but set that aside. People don't really trust golf. But

0:28:36.480 --> 0:28:38.800
<v Speaker 2>the fact of the matter on golf is this, He's

0:28:38.840 --> 0:28:43.240
<v Speaker 2>a hard player to trust because the moment he gets pressured,

0:28:44.160 --> 0:28:50.200
<v Speaker 2>not existential pressure, but pressured, the moment that happens, he

0:28:51.680 --> 0:28:54.040
<v Speaker 2>turns into a pumpkin. We saw it in the first

0:28:54.080 --> 0:28:56.720
<v Speaker 2>playoff game of the year when he got pressured and

0:28:56.920 --> 0:28:59.480
<v Speaker 2>threw a two in chess pass backwards towards his own

0:28:59.560 --> 0:29:02.480
<v Speaker 2>end zone. He can't deal with it. But if they

0:29:02.560 --> 0:29:07.400
<v Speaker 2>can keep him clean, if they can neutralize Young and

0:29:07.440 --> 0:29:10.840
<v Speaker 2>Bosa off the edge and Armstead and Hardgrave up the middle,

0:29:11.080 --> 0:29:14.120
<v Speaker 2>which is a hell of a tall task, but the

0:29:14.200 --> 0:29:16.480
<v Speaker 2>Lions have invested a lot in that offensive line to

0:29:16.480 --> 0:29:19.040
<v Speaker 2>be able to do it. Golf can pick apart that

0:29:19.160 --> 0:29:25.200
<v Speaker 2>secondary and so yeah, they are a bit disrespected, But

0:29:27.600 --> 0:29:30.480
<v Speaker 2>some of that's because they don't have the history. Some

0:29:30.600 --> 0:29:34.040
<v Speaker 2>of that's because they don't have the star a list,

0:29:34.240 --> 0:29:38.440
<v Speaker 2>name recognition, star power, and some of that, honestly is

0:29:39.200 --> 0:29:42.280
<v Speaker 2>because people just don't totally trust the quarterback. Speaking of

0:29:42.320 --> 0:29:47.440
<v Speaker 2>not trusting quarterbacks, we'll go to Brock Parties, the Brock

0:29:47.480 --> 0:29:51.720
<v Speaker 2>Party discussion producers. Right, Perty has made the NFC Championship

0:29:51.720 --> 0:29:53.720
<v Speaker 2>Game every year. Okay, by the way, so did Jimmy

0:29:53.720 --> 0:29:56.800
<v Speaker 2>Garoppolo when he was healthy. Just for the record. Uh,

0:29:57.440 --> 0:30:00.680
<v Speaker 2>but you call him, I call him San Francisco's If

0:30:00.720 --> 0:30:03.240
<v Speaker 2>the forty nine ers make the super Bowl with him, there's.

0:30:03.040 --> 0:30:04.040
<v Speaker 3>No way they move on.

0:30:04.520 --> 0:30:06.920
<v Speaker 2>But are you gonna make the Galaxy brain take that

0:30:07.080 --> 0:30:09.640
<v Speaker 2>losing would be better for San Francisco in the long run.

0:30:09.920 --> 0:30:11.880
<v Speaker 2>I'm not gonna say losing would be better in the

0:30:11.880 --> 0:30:13.800
<v Speaker 2>long run. What I would say. What I will say

0:30:13.840 --> 0:30:18.000
<v Speaker 2>is this, if Perdy plays the way he did against

0:30:18.080 --> 0:30:24.560
<v Speaker 2>Green Bay and they lose, it is absolutely on the

0:30:24.640 --> 0:30:27.640
<v Speaker 2>board that he's not their starting quarterback Week one of

0:30:27.720 --> 0:30:28.200
<v Speaker 2>next year.

0:30:28.920 --> 0:30:29.720
<v Speaker 3>And all these.

0:30:29.640 --> 0:30:33.000
<v Speaker 2>Quotes from Shanahan and his teammates and all of it

0:30:33.480 --> 0:30:35.120
<v Speaker 2>that what the Niners.

0:30:34.720 --> 0:30:35.440
<v Speaker 3>Will do.

0:30:37.320 --> 0:30:43.320
<v Speaker 2>If Perdy plays poorly and they lose is try to quietly.

0:30:44.200 --> 0:30:45.360
<v Speaker 3>Do recount on.

0:30:47.160 --> 0:30:51.560
<v Speaker 2>Kirk cousins, Will you take less than you can get

0:30:51.600 --> 0:30:57.800
<v Speaker 2>elsewhere to come play for Kyle Shanahan. So Kirk has

0:30:57.880 --> 0:31:01.840
<v Speaker 2>made an unbelievable amount of money in his career. He's

0:31:01.840 --> 0:31:04.560
<v Speaker 2>at two hundred and thirty one million. He's about to

0:31:04.600 --> 0:31:08.120
<v Speaker 2>be a true and clear for free and clear free

0:31:08.120 --> 0:31:12.320
<v Speaker 2>agent and can go anywhere. The Niners don't have the

0:31:12.400 --> 0:31:15.720
<v Speaker 2>money to give him a top of the market deal,

0:31:17.640 --> 0:31:24.600
<v Speaker 2>but I'm sure they believe correctly that that would be

0:31:24.640 --> 0:31:27.440
<v Speaker 2>a massive upgrade if they trust his health coming off

0:31:27.440 --> 0:31:30.959
<v Speaker 2>the Achilles, and if he would take a below market

0:31:31.000 --> 0:31:32.920
<v Speaker 2>deal for a great chance at a super Bowl, they

0:31:32.920 --> 0:31:36.200
<v Speaker 2>would investigate it. We heard from Brock Berdy himself this

0:31:36.280 --> 0:31:39.640
<v Speaker 2>offseason that Kyle Shanahan told him they were going to

0:31:39.720 --> 0:31:41.800
<v Speaker 2>move on. He wasn't going to be the starter if

0:31:41.800 --> 0:31:52.120
<v Speaker 2>they signed Brady and at Niner fans are angry.

0:31:51.680 --> 0:31:52.120
<v Speaker 3>With me.

0:31:54.080 --> 0:31:58.959
<v Speaker 2>Because, how do I put it, I think it's projection.

0:32:00.280 --> 0:32:04.360
<v Speaker 2>I think Niner fans deep down are more scared of

0:32:04.440 --> 0:32:09.360
<v Speaker 2>Purty than anybody. But because the numbers have been so good,

0:32:09.400 --> 0:32:12.160
<v Speaker 2>because he's twenty and five, because of all these things,

0:32:12.600 --> 0:32:17.240
<v Speaker 2>they feel like you and the media should be obligated

0:32:18.120 --> 0:32:23.560
<v Speaker 2>to love him, to say great things about him, rather

0:32:23.640 --> 0:32:27.120
<v Speaker 2>than to evaluate the games as if they were on television.

0:32:27.680 --> 0:32:33.200
<v Speaker 2>And it was truly amazing to me how many people

0:32:33.800 --> 0:32:38.120
<v Speaker 2>this week are tripling down on Brock even though we

0:32:38.200 --> 0:32:41.280
<v Speaker 2>all saw that game and he was the worst player

0:32:41.280 --> 0:32:44.440
<v Speaker 2>on the field for massive stretches of it. And so

0:32:45.360 --> 0:32:50.040
<v Speaker 2>if they, after being very fortunate to win at home

0:32:50.080 --> 0:32:53.720
<v Speaker 2>against Jordan Love and Green Bay because of his poor play,

0:32:54.520 --> 0:32:57.400
<v Speaker 2>if they then lose at home to Jared Goff and

0:32:57.440 --> 0:33:02.200
<v Speaker 2>the Niners, some real offseason question for San Francisco. Who

0:33:02.200 --> 0:33:04.200
<v Speaker 2>do I think is gonna win that game? You guys

0:33:04.200 --> 0:33:06.240
<v Speaker 2>probably have an idea of who I think is gonna

0:33:06.280 --> 0:33:10.000
<v Speaker 2>win the Chiefs Ravens game. We'll do both of those

0:33:10.000 --> 0:33:19.320

<v Speaker 2>All right, welcome back in What's right with Nick?

0:34:50.239 --> 0:34:50.359
<v Speaker 3>Right?

0:34:50.400 --> 0:34:55.120
<v Speaker 2>Demanse out today as he's suffering injury playing basketball. So

0:34:55.719 --> 0:34:58.480
<v Speaker 2>nothing but our thoughts with the Monse's kind of going

0:34:58.480 --> 0:35:02.160
<v Speaker 2>through a rough time at the moment. The producers asking

0:35:02.200 --> 0:35:06.919
<v Speaker 2>me to rank potential Super Bowl matchups, so we will

0:35:06.920 --> 0:35:09.799
<v Speaker 2>do that right now. There's four potential matchups, ranked them

0:35:09.840 --> 0:35:12.200
<v Speaker 2>four to one based on what would be the most

0:35:12.200 --> 0:35:17.640
<v Speaker 2>exciting games with the best storylines. Okay, that's an interesting question.

0:35:18.320 --> 0:35:27.640
<v Speaker 2>The so I I think that, and I think the

0:35:27.719 --> 0:35:33.040
<v Speaker 2>ratings bear this out. I think the best storylines have

0:35:33.239 --> 0:35:34.920
<v Speaker 2>to involve and I know you guys are gonna roll

0:35:34.960 --> 0:35:37.600
<v Speaker 2>your eyes, but have to involve the Chiefs going for

0:35:37.680 --> 0:35:42.080
<v Speaker 2>a second straight title. I think that given the fact

0:35:42.080 --> 0:35:44.200
<v Speaker 2>that this what did not This is not a fate

0:35:44.239 --> 0:35:47.239
<v Speaker 2>Accompley season. The last time the Chiefs were going for

0:35:47.280 --> 0:35:51.560
<v Speaker 2>their second straight title, they were fourteen and one in

0:35:51.640 --> 0:35:56.120
<v Speaker 2>games Mahomes played. He rested in week seventeen, and they

0:35:56.239 --> 0:36:00.319
<v Speaker 2>kind of rolled in route to the Super Bowl. First

0:36:00.320 --> 0:36:03.239
<v Speaker 2>playoff game, they played the Browns, they had total control,

0:36:03.560 --> 0:36:06.960
<v Speaker 2>and then Mahomes got choked out on the field. Their

0:36:07.000 --> 0:36:09.680
<v Speaker 2>second playoff game, the AFC title game, they annihilated the

0:36:09.719 --> 0:36:13.440
<v Speaker 2>Bills and then so it was really the question was

0:36:13.480 --> 0:36:15.920
<v Speaker 2>who was gonna come out of the NFC, not the AFC,

0:36:16.280 --> 0:36:17.920
<v Speaker 2>And then Brady and the Bucks came out of the

0:36:18.040 --> 0:36:21.560
<v Speaker 2>NFC and kicked their ass. But the lead up to it,

0:36:22.080 --> 0:36:24.480
<v Speaker 2>there wasn't a lot of doubting of the defending champion

0:36:24.600 --> 0:36:25.319
<v Speaker 2>Chiefs that year.

0:36:25.640 --> 0:36:29.040
<v Speaker 3>This year obviously totally different.

0:36:29.480 --> 0:36:33.520
<v Speaker 2>You then add to it, it cements them as an undoubted,

0:36:33.760 --> 0:36:37.920
<v Speaker 2>unquestionable dynasty. And I talked to all this on the

0:36:37.960 --> 0:36:43.080
<v Speaker 2>show the other day yesterday. Actually, I think that this

0:36:43.520 --> 0:36:47.000
<v Speaker 2>that the Chiefs winning the Super Bowl this year would

0:36:47.040 --> 0:36:52.799
<v Speaker 2>put them number three for all time dynasties. I think

0:36:52.800 --> 0:36:55.640
<v Speaker 2>there have been six in the true dynasties in the

0:36:55.680 --> 0:36:59.160
<v Speaker 2>Super Bowl era, and then another seven or eight mini

0:36:59.640 --> 0:37:04.359
<v Speaker 2>almost dynasties, but the six would be in.

0:37:04.360 --> 0:37:05.600
<v Speaker 3>No order, if you will.

0:37:06.239 --> 0:37:09.839
<v Speaker 2>The Steelers of the seventies in six years, they went

0:37:09.880 --> 0:37:12.040
<v Speaker 2>to four Super Bowls, one all four went to five

0:37:12.120 --> 0:37:16.560
<v Speaker 2>conference championship games. The Niners from eighty one to eighty

0:37:16.680 --> 0:37:19.920
<v Speaker 2>nine in nine years went to four Super Bowls one

0:37:19.960 --> 0:37:24.919
<v Speaker 2>them all went to five conference championship games. The Patriots

0:37:24.920 --> 0:37:28.520
<v Speaker 2>from twenty eleven to twenty eighteen. I think the Patriots

0:37:28.600 --> 0:37:31.400
<v Speaker 2>thing has to be split up because they went nine

0:37:31.440 --> 0:37:35.040
<v Speaker 2>years without winning a Super Bowl. So I split up

0:37:35.080 --> 0:37:38.880
<v Speaker 2>into two. So the Patriots from eleven to eighteen in

0:37:38.960 --> 0:37:43.080
<v Speaker 2>that eight year stretch went to five Super Bowls. No

0:37:44.200 --> 0:37:48.560
<v Speaker 2>hold on, yeah, went to five Super Bowls, won three,

0:37:49.160 --> 0:37:49.560
<v Speaker 2>went to.

0:37:49.680 --> 0:37:51.920
<v Speaker 3>Eight conference championship games.

0:37:52.400 --> 0:37:55.640
<v Speaker 2>The Cowboys from ninety one to ninety five, ninety two

0:37:55.680 --> 0:37:58.680
<v Speaker 2>to ninety five, pardon me, in four years went to

0:37:58.719 --> 0:38:01.320
<v Speaker 2>three Super Bowls one all, went to all four conference

0:38:01.400 --> 0:38:06.359
<v Speaker 2>championship games. The Patriots from one to four in four

0:38:06.440 --> 0:38:09.239
<v Speaker 2>years went to three Super Bowls, one them all and

0:38:09.480 --> 0:38:13.400
<v Speaker 2>missed the playoffs in the middle year. And the Chiefs

0:38:14.040 --> 0:38:18.200
<v Speaker 2>from if they win this year nineteen to twenty three,

0:38:18.239 --> 0:38:21.240
<v Speaker 2>in a five year stretch, went to four super Bowls,

0:38:21.360 --> 0:38:24.560
<v Speaker 2>won three, went to conference championship game every single year.

0:38:24.600 --> 0:38:26.879
<v Speaker 2>Obviously went to the conference championship game of the year before,

0:38:26.920 --> 0:38:29.400
<v Speaker 2>but he kind of starts, you can't have a dynasty

0:38:29.600 --> 0:38:31.680
<v Speaker 2>kind of era a start in a year you don't

0:38:31.680 --> 0:38:34.200
<v Speaker 2>even make the Super Bowl if the Chiefs win it.

0:38:35.520 --> 0:38:40.160
<v Speaker 2>I think that the if we're ranking dynasties, it would

0:38:40.200 --> 0:38:46.880
<v Speaker 2>go Stealers from seventy four to seventy nine number one,

0:38:46.920 --> 0:38:51.040
<v Speaker 2>Patriots from eleven to eighteen number two, and Chiefs from

0:38:51.120 --> 0:38:54.920
<v Speaker 2>nineteen to twenty three number three, with the Chiefs able

0:38:55.280 --> 0:38:59.000
<v Speaker 2>to trump the Patriots if they win one more well,

0:38:59.000 --> 0:39:02.239
<v Speaker 2>maybe trump them all, but certainly trump the Patriots if

0:39:02.280 --> 0:39:05.040
<v Speaker 2>they win another one in the next few years. And

0:39:05.160 --> 0:39:08.560
<v Speaker 2>obviously if the Chiefs win this year and then they

0:39:08.560 --> 0:39:11.240
<v Speaker 2>were to win next year, then they are the greatest

0:39:11.320 --> 0:39:13.879
<v Speaker 2>dynasty ever because they nobody will have had more than

0:39:13.880 --> 0:39:16.799
<v Speaker 2>the four rings in this time frame, and.

0:39:16.760 --> 0:39:18.080
<v Speaker 3>They would have won three in a row.

0:39:18.680 --> 0:39:24.200
<v Speaker 2>So I guess the least sexy matchup is Baltimore Detroit,

0:39:24.920 --> 0:39:28.719
<v Speaker 2>So that would be number four. Still good storylines and that,

0:39:29.160 --> 0:39:32.680
<v Speaker 2>but that would be built around Lamar. The next matchup

0:39:32.719 --> 0:39:36.279
<v Speaker 2>would be Baltimore, San Francisco and that would be the

0:39:36.360 --> 0:39:38.560
<v Speaker 2>League MVP against the guy who a lot of people

0:39:38.600 --> 0:39:41.360
<v Speaker 2>thought was gonna be League MVP and party will Shanahan

0:39:41.440 --> 0:39:45.239
<v Speaker 2>finally get over the hump? And then number two would

0:39:45.280 --> 0:39:48.719
<v Speaker 2>be Kansadity Detroit Game one of the year, Game two

0:39:48.800 --> 0:39:51.400
<v Speaker 2>hundred and eighty five of the year, the most tortured

0:39:51.440 --> 0:39:55.160
<v Speaker 2>fan base maybe in all of sports, Detroit Lions versus

0:39:55.200 --> 0:39:58.080
<v Speaker 2>all of a sudden spoiled fan base the Kansaity Chiefs.

0:39:58.440 --> 0:40:01.680
<v Speaker 2>And then the best one would be cheap Niners because

0:40:01.719 --> 0:40:04.839
<v Speaker 2>it'd be mister Irrelevant against the greatest quarterback we've ever seen.

0:40:05.440 --> 0:40:09.040
<v Speaker 2>So that's what it would be, all right. Uh to

0:40:09.160 --> 0:40:13.520
<v Speaker 2>the divisional round gambling recap. I went one in three.

0:40:14.200 --> 0:40:18.520
<v Speaker 2>There's no way around it. Now, Tampa, I feel like

0:40:18.560 --> 0:40:22.440
<v Speaker 2>I was on the right side of Houston and San Francisco.

0:40:22.640 --> 0:40:26.640
<v Speaker 2>I obviously was not Kansas City, never a doubt throughout.

0:40:26.880 --> 0:40:29.560
<v Speaker 2>So we're four and six. There's three games left, So

0:40:29.880 --> 0:40:32.759
<v Speaker 2>just to finish above five hundred, I'm gonna have to

0:40:32.760 --> 0:40:35.319
<v Speaker 2>go three and oh the rest of the way, and

0:40:36.800 --> 0:40:39.840
<v Speaker 2>we'll start with Kansady Baltimore. Kansas City getting three and

0:40:39.840 --> 0:40:43.520
<v Speaker 2>a half is outrageous. You want to say Kansaity should

0:40:43.520 --> 0:40:45.640
<v Speaker 2>be a dog, so be it getting more than a

0:40:45.640 --> 0:40:52.440
<v Speaker 2>field goal is outrageous. And the trend stats are in

0:40:52.480 --> 0:40:55.760
<v Speaker 2>the last twenty years, super Bowl winning quarterbacks are fifty

0:40:55.920 --> 0:40:59.000
<v Speaker 2>nine to twenty four and two against the spread in

0:40:59.040 --> 0:41:03.879
<v Speaker 2>the playoffs. As a Mahomes has only been a dog

0:41:03.960 --> 0:41:07.400
<v Speaker 2>of more than three twice in his career, once a

0:41:07.440 --> 0:41:10.279
<v Speaker 2>three point loss to the Patriots his first year as

0:41:10.280 --> 0:41:10.960
<v Speaker 2>a starter.

0:41:11.160 --> 0:41:12.080
<v Speaker 3>And once.

0:41:13.360 --> 0:41:16.319
<v Speaker 2>Five point win against Pittsburgh in his third start ever.

0:41:17.160 --> 0:41:20.560
<v Speaker 2>Lamar sneaky not great as a home favorite, sixteen and

0:41:20.640 --> 0:41:24.480
<v Speaker 2>twenty three against the spread. Harball obviously legendary against the

0:41:24.520 --> 0:41:27.200
<v Speaker 2>spread because he's won in the playoffs fourteen and seven

0:41:27.239 --> 0:41:32.680
<v Speaker 2>against the spread. Because they've had so many road games

0:41:32.719 --> 0:41:34.720
<v Speaker 2>in his career, so they're dogs in most of those.

0:41:34.960 --> 0:41:36.000
<v Speaker 3>But this one's simple.

0:41:36.840 --> 0:41:38.920
<v Speaker 2>I think the defenses are a push, and I trust

0:41:38.920 --> 0:41:41.360
<v Speaker 2>Mahomes more than I trust Lamar. It's not a slide

0:41:41.360 --> 0:41:43.840
<v Speaker 2>on Lamar. I trust Mahomes more than I trust anybody.

0:41:44.640 --> 0:41:48.200
<v Speaker 2>And I think that the Chiefs offense is rolling right

0:41:48.239 --> 0:41:52.240
<v Speaker 2>now that before the kneel downs they were at almost

0:41:52.360 --> 0:41:56.239
<v Speaker 2>nine yards per play that game against Buffalo, they had

0:41:56.280 --> 0:42:00.319
<v Speaker 2>more yards per play than any playoff game of the

0:42:00.360 --> 0:42:04.560
<v Speaker 2>Mahomes era, and they barely had the ball and still

0:42:04.600 --> 0:42:07.880
<v Speaker 2>were a yard away from scoring thirty four points. So

0:42:08.440 --> 0:42:10.360
<v Speaker 2>I like the Chiefs in this spot. I like the

0:42:10.400 --> 0:42:13.000
<v Speaker 2>Chiefs to win out right in a very good game.

0:42:13.520 --> 0:42:14.520
<v Speaker 3>I like this is.

0:42:16.440 --> 0:42:20.320
<v Speaker 2>A back and forth, tightly contested, but I think the

0:42:20.400 --> 0:42:23.560
<v Speaker 2>Chiefs offense can really make some noise in this. This

0:42:23.680 --> 0:42:26.880
<v Speaker 2>feels like a I mean, I know it sounds like

0:42:26.960 --> 0:42:29.040
<v Speaker 2>cop out because it's the same scores last week.

0:42:29.280 --> 0:42:31.360
<v Speaker 3>But a twenty seven to twenty four.

0:42:31.719 --> 0:42:36.279
<v Speaker 2>Kansas City victory, all right, Detroit is getting seven at

0:42:36.320 --> 0:42:41.080
<v Speaker 2>San Francisco. That's way too many points. I'll take Detroit

0:42:41.120 --> 0:42:48.920
<v Speaker 2>plus the seven. And there is the question about Deebo. Obviously,

0:42:48.960 --> 0:42:51.200
<v Speaker 2>the Niners have been a totally different team. They're twelve

0:42:51.239 --> 0:42:54.960
<v Speaker 2>and one with him, one and four without him, and

0:42:55.080 --> 0:42:57.399
<v Speaker 2>the one win was last week where they didn't look

0:42:57.400 --> 0:43:00.480
<v Speaker 2>good without him. Even if he plays, you can imagine

0:43:00.520 --> 0:43:03.120
<v Speaker 2>he's gonna be one hundred percent, and if it's a

0:43:03.160 --> 0:43:06.319
<v Speaker 2>shoulder injury, the way he his style of play, you

0:43:06.360 --> 0:43:08.759
<v Speaker 2>feel like he could, you know, have to leave the

0:43:08.840 --> 0:43:14.120
<v Speaker 2>game despite it. I think Detroit can win this game outright.

0:43:15.480 --> 0:43:20.080
<v Speaker 2>I think that Detroit can block up San Francisco and

0:43:20.120 --> 0:43:22.319
<v Speaker 2>in which case golf is going to be able to

0:43:22.360 --> 0:43:26.799
<v Speaker 2>move the ball on them. So I will take Detroit

0:43:27.360 --> 0:43:31.200
<v Speaker 2>not only plus seven, but Detroit to win outright, and

0:43:31.239 --> 0:43:33.200
<v Speaker 2>we get in the final game of the year, the

0:43:33.239 --> 0:43:36.160
<v Speaker 2>first game of the year, Chiefs Lions to start the season,

0:43:36.480 --> 0:43:39.600
<v Speaker 2>Chiefs Lions to end the season. And shout out to

0:43:39.680 --> 0:43:44.200
<v Speaker 2>Danny Parkins. I've mentioned this pod before, but you guys

0:43:44.239 --> 0:43:47.640
<v Speaker 2>should check it out. It's a great football pod called

0:43:47.680 --> 0:43:51.279
<v Speaker 2>First In Pod with Danny Parkins and Andrew Philipponi. That

0:43:51.440 --> 0:43:54.200
<v Speaker 2>was Danny's pick before the season, and he's a game

0:43:54.239 --> 0:43:57.560
<v Speaker 2>away from nailing it all right, so we can show

0:43:57.600 --> 0:43:58.160
<v Speaker 2>you the picks.

0:43:58.239 --> 0:44:00.920
<v Speaker 3>I'm taking both dogs and both dogs to win outright.

0:44:02.120 --> 0:44:06.080
<v Speaker 2>So the offer this week is the Brducer's trying to

0:44:06.080 --> 0:44:08.640
<v Speaker 2>get me to parlay two goats. Mahomes to win the

0:44:08.680 --> 0:44:12.920
<v Speaker 2>Super Bowl MVP at plus three eighty and Djokovic to

0:44:12.960 --> 0:44:16.880
<v Speaker 2>win the Australian Open at minus one thirty. That combines

0:44:16.960 --> 0:44:21.360
<v Speaker 2>for a plus seven point fifty. I mean that seems

0:44:21.360 --> 0:44:25.320
<v Speaker 2>pretty good, you know what, Matt Ford, I'll take that offer.

0:44:26.440 --> 0:44:29.520
<v Speaker 2>I haven't watched any of the Australian Open. But so

0:44:29.719 --> 0:44:32.319
<v Speaker 2>I'm doing it blind, but I'm trusting Matt. I'll take

0:44:32.360 --> 0:44:35.759
<v Speaker 2>that offer and then a bonus offer, I have a

0:44:35.920 --> 0:44:39.560
<v Speaker 2>chance at redemption for my super Bowl. Exact to bet

0:44:39.640 --> 0:44:42.759
<v Speaker 2>Kansas City to beat Detroit in the Super Bowl right

0:44:42.800 --> 0:44:46.239
<v Speaker 2>now is fifteen to one. So here's the problem. So

0:44:46.760 --> 0:44:49.600
<v Speaker 2>I'm not gonna take that. And the reason I'm not

0:44:49.719 --> 0:44:53.239
<v Speaker 2>gonna take that is because you're gonna be able to

0:44:53.280 --> 0:44:57.120
<v Speaker 2>get better odds if you just bet that separately. So

0:44:57.200 --> 0:45:01.520
<v Speaker 2>if you just if you parlay Kansas City and Detroit

0:45:02.120 --> 0:45:05.839
<v Speaker 2>to win this weekend, you get that at ten to one.

0:45:06.360 --> 0:45:09.160
<v Speaker 2>So if you just were to do that, Kansas City

0:45:09.239 --> 0:45:12.520
<v Speaker 2>is not gonna be more than a minus two hundred

0:45:12.600 --> 0:45:15.520
<v Speaker 2>favorite in the Super Bowl if they were to play,

0:45:16.040 --> 0:45:18.120
<v Speaker 2>so and I don't even know if they'll be a

0:45:18.160 --> 0:45:20.359
<v Speaker 2>fake like what they would be in that game. I'm

0:45:20.400 --> 0:45:22.680
<v Speaker 2>sure those odds are out. I haven't looked. So if

0:45:22.719 --> 0:45:26.719
<v Speaker 2>you believe that's gonna happen, just bet, just bet it

0:45:26.840 --> 0:45:30.000
<v Speaker 2>this weekend and then take every single thing you won

0:45:30.560 --> 0:45:33.680
<v Speaker 2>and put it on the winner of the super Bowl.

0:45:33.719 --> 0:45:36.000
<v Speaker 2>That's just you're gonna get better, at least a touch

0:45:36.040 --> 0:45:38.799
<v Speaker 2>better than fifteen to one. All right, quick break, come

0:45:38.840 --> 0:45:40.800
<v Speaker 2>back and answer some of your listener questions.

0:45:40.800 --> 0:45:41.520
<v Speaker 3>Next What's Right?

0:45:47.600 --> 0:45:50.719
<v Speaker 2>Welcome back in What's Driving the Great Episode two eleven,

0:45:51.480 --> 0:45:53.919
<v Speaker 2>we'll get to your listener questions now. By the way,

0:45:54.040 --> 0:45:58.840
<v Speaker 2>shout out to Lloyd c one of our favorite listeners,

0:45:58.880 --> 0:46:02.680
<v Speaker 2>who once again one Jeopardy so he is now in

0:46:02.719 --> 0:46:06.200
<v Speaker 2>the semi finals for the Tournament of Champions. Also shout

0:46:06.239 --> 0:46:11.640
<v Speaker 2>out to Katie Nolan and Crewe for crushing on Celebrity Jeopardy.

0:46:11.719 --> 0:46:14.640
<v Speaker 2>One of my lifelong dreams is to get on Real Jeopardy,

0:46:15.080 --> 0:46:18.240
<v Speaker 2>but I'm not gonna lie. I will take the cop

0:46:18.280 --> 0:46:21.399
<v Speaker 2>out of getting on Celebrity Jeopardy if I can next year.

0:46:21.600 --> 0:46:26.160
<v Speaker 2>I would desperately, desperately like to do that. Mitchell b asked,

0:46:26.200 --> 0:46:28.160
<v Speaker 2>can you offer your point of view? And why Mahomes

0:46:28.200 --> 0:46:30.720
<v Speaker 2>is so successful against the blitz and golf is terrible

0:46:31.080 --> 0:46:32.919
<v Speaker 2>is their ability to read the blitz for the player

0:46:33.040 --> 0:46:35.160
<v Speaker 2>something else. So I don't actually know if goff is

0:46:35.239 --> 0:46:38.960
<v Speaker 2>terrible against the blitz. Golf is terrible when pressured. So

0:46:40.680 --> 0:46:45.880
<v Speaker 2>the phraseology of this matters. The best quarterbacks in football

0:46:46.440 --> 0:46:52.080
<v Speaker 2>are great historically against blitzes because when we say blitz.

0:46:52.960 --> 0:46:57.080
<v Speaker 2>What they mean is sending extra rushers at the quarterback,

0:46:57.520 --> 0:47:01.600
<v Speaker 2>which then makes it so your receivers are in one

0:47:01.640 --> 0:47:05.360
<v Speaker 2>on ones. The best quarterbacks can read that, diagnose it

0:47:05.440 --> 0:47:08.920
<v Speaker 2>pre snap, point out who needs to be blocked, and

0:47:08.960 --> 0:47:12.640
<v Speaker 2>then make quick decisions. And I don't have Golf's numbers

0:47:12.680 --> 0:47:14.640
<v Speaker 2>against the blitz. He might be good at that. I'm

0:47:14.640 --> 0:47:18.920
<v Speaker 2>not certain. What Golf is terrible at is when he

0:47:19.040 --> 0:47:24.160
<v Speaker 2>is pressured, and Mahomes this year wasn't great when pressured,

0:47:24.640 --> 0:47:28.319
<v Speaker 2>meaning and so the distinguishing factor is if you can

0:47:28.400 --> 0:47:33.560
<v Speaker 2>create pressure without blitzing. That's what is basically every quarterbacks

0:47:35.440 --> 0:47:39.480
<v Speaker 2>was the thing kryptonite. That's how the Giants beat Tom

0:47:39.480 --> 0:47:41.680
<v Speaker 2>Brady and two Super Bowls. They had no business doing it.

0:47:41.880 --> 0:47:44.960
<v Speaker 2>They had a four man pass rush that could get home,

0:47:45.440 --> 0:47:49.520
<v Speaker 2>so you could double cover guys. You could play coverage

0:47:49.600 --> 0:47:53.800
<v Speaker 2>and still create pressure on the quarterback. So that's the ideal.

0:47:53.920 --> 0:47:55.959
<v Speaker 2>Typically you have to send at least a little extra

0:47:55.960 --> 0:48:01.319
<v Speaker 2>pressure or blitzer to get to the quarterback. Where Mahomes

0:48:01.440 --> 0:48:04.120
<v Speaker 2>this year he wasn't great, but historically is is even

0:48:04.120 --> 0:48:10.560
<v Speaker 2>when he's pressured. It's because of his escapability athleticism. Compared

0:48:10.560 --> 0:48:14.880
<v Speaker 2>to GoF and arm talent to be so he's athletic

0:48:15.000 --> 0:48:17.719
<v Speaker 2>enough and escapable enough, which golf is not to get

0:48:17.719 --> 0:48:20.759
<v Speaker 2>away from maybe the first wave of pass rushers, and

0:48:20.800 --> 0:48:24.759
<v Speaker 2>then while on the move or without being able to

0:48:24.800 --> 0:48:27.560
<v Speaker 2>set his feet or without necessarily having his body positioned

0:48:27.560 --> 0:48:31.040
<v Speaker 2>the right way, he is able to make throws that

0:48:31.080 --> 0:48:33.799
<v Speaker 2>other guys can't. So that's why he is It's why

0:48:33.880 --> 0:48:37.200
<v Speaker 2>Josh Allen historically can be very good in those spots.

0:48:37.239 --> 0:48:40.400
<v Speaker 2>He just sometimes makes some bad decisions. Goff just doesn't

0:48:40.400 --> 0:48:43.319
<v Speaker 2>have the athletic ability for it, and I don't think

0:48:43.320 --> 0:48:46.839
<v Speaker 2>he has the eye discipline to keep his eyes upfield

0:48:46.880 --> 0:48:51.200
<v Speaker 2>when the rushers are coming towards him. Uh Shade Ocks asked,

0:48:51.200 --> 0:48:53.080
<v Speaker 2>if you're running the Cowboys, would you rather pay Dack

0:48:53.120 --> 0:48:56.000
<v Speaker 2>a massive contract like five years to eighty or give

0:48:56.040 --> 0:48:58.960
<v Speaker 2>Bakers some the ballpark of three years one oh five. Listen,

0:48:59.520 --> 0:49:02.919
<v Speaker 2>I I don't think either of those would be great

0:49:02.920 --> 0:49:04.920
<v Speaker 2>options for the Cowboys. What they're gonna do is pay

0:49:05.000 --> 0:49:08.239
<v Speaker 2>Dak Prescott the like. When people see Dak's deal, they're

0:49:08.280 --> 0:49:13.640
<v Speaker 2>not going to believe it that When Dak gets a

0:49:13.840 --> 0:49:19.240
<v Speaker 2>three year extension for one hundred and seventy five million dollars.

0:49:19.320 --> 0:49:21.680
<v Speaker 2>People are gonna think it's a misprint, but it's what's coming.

0:49:22.440 --> 0:49:27.040
<v Speaker 2>If Dak gets a four year deal for two hundred

0:49:27.040 --> 0:49:30.759
<v Speaker 2>and forty million dollars with the majority of it guaranteed,

0:49:30.800 --> 0:49:31.759
<v Speaker 2>people won't believe it.

0:49:31.760 --> 0:49:32.600
<v Speaker 3>But it's what's coming.

0:49:32.640 --> 0:49:34.799
<v Speaker 2>I spent too much time talking cap stuff early in

0:49:34.800 --> 0:49:37.760
<v Speaker 2>the show to go through it, but that's what's coming.

0:49:39.560 --> 0:49:42.319
<v Speaker 2>Scott Murphy as how much blame does Giannis deserve for

0:49:42.360 --> 0:49:44.920
<v Speaker 2>the dysfunction in Milwaukee given his growing input and pressure

0:49:44.920 --> 0:49:46.640
<v Speaker 2>he's put on the front office. I was working with

0:49:46.680 --> 0:49:51.399
<v Speaker 2>my buddy Ty Butler, who hosts radio for ESPN New York,

0:49:51.440 --> 0:49:56.120
<v Speaker 2>about this actually this morning. If the Bucks don't make

0:49:56.200 --> 0:50:00.400
<v Speaker 2>the finals this year at a minimums going to be

0:50:00.440 --> 0:50:06.239
<v Speaker 2>coming after Giannis a bit, the coaching changes, the Drew

0:50:07.080 --> 0:50:12.320
<v Speaker 2>Dame trade. That now, it's too early to blame anyone

0:50:12.320 --> 0:50:14.080
<v Speaker 2>because we don't know if it's gone wrong, but it's

0:50:14.080 --> 0:50:15.840
<v Speaker 2>certainly the early returns.

0:50:15.440 --> 0:50:16.480
<v Speaker 3>Haven't been good.

0:50:19.280 --> 0:50:21.399
<v Speaker 2>Noah Rodriguez asked, what were your thoughts on the Chet

0:50:21.440 --> 0:50:22.680
<v Speaker 2>Wimby matchup last night?

0:50:22.719 --> 0:50:25.160
<v Speaker 3>Who's your current rookie of the year. Chet's clearly the

0:50:25.239 --> 0:50:26.040
<v Speaker 3>rookie of the year.

0:50:26.440 --> 0:50:29.960
<v Speaker 2>I loved the competitiveness between Chet and Wimby last night

0:50:30.000 --> 0:50:32.600
<v Speaker 2>even though it was a blowout, and if both can

0:50:32.640 --> 0:50:36.000
<v Speaker 2>stay healthy, that should be a great rival re moving forward.

0:50:37.120 --> 0:50:39.799
<v Speaker 2>Jass had Sirianni gotten fired with Eagles job in a

0:50:39.800 --> 0:50:44.480
<v Speaker 2>better spot for Harball, unquestionably he'd get the most out

0:50:44.520 --> 0:50:46.759
<v Speaker 2>of Jalen and it's the far easier conference in a

0:50:46.760 --> 0:50:50.399
<v Speaker 2>way way easier division. Elijah King said, if you could

0:50:50.400 --> 0:50:53.560
<v Speaker 2>compare to Monday's basketball style of play to an NBA player,

0:50:53.920 --> 0:50:54.560
<v Speaker 2>who would it be?

0:50:55.560 --> 0:51:06.319
<v Speaker 3>Demanse at his peak was stylistically all right?

0:51:06.400 --> 0:51:11.920
<v Speaker 2>So who is just an knockdown shooter, say, you know

0:51:11.960 --> 0:51:15.840
<v Speaker 2>what with great athleticism Demonse at his peak? Stylistically was

0:51:15.880 --> 0:51:21.120
<v Speaker 2>Michael Porter Junior just an amazing jump shot, you know,

0:51:21.360 --> 0:51:27.880
<v Speaker 2>tall for his position, excellent athlete and could be a

0:51:27.960 --> 0:51:31.560
<v Speaker 2>lockdown defender when he opted to and has no interest

0:51:31.560 --> 0:51:35.240
<v Speaker 2>in dribbling the basketball. So Michael Porter Juniors, whose Demanse

0:51:35.560 --> 0:51:39.279
<v Speaker 2>was at his peak, again, send good vibes to Demanse's

0:51:39.320 --> 0:51:43.239
<v Speaker 2>he's dealing with a hoops injury. And I'll see you

0:51:43.239 --> 0:51:44.319
<v Speaker 2>guys on TV at.
