Uh A ton to do today after I 0:00:26.520 --> 0:00:29.560 let me just say this on the front end, the 0:00:29.640 --> 0:00:34.199 world series is now set basket in fact, just you 0:00:34.200 --> 0:00:37.199 know what, Let's do this straight to voicemail, brought to 0:00:37.200 --> 0:00:41.400 you by boost Mobile. Uh hoo, show Ryu. I think 0:00:41.479 --> 0:00:45.080 I pronounced that properly won the Sumo Grand Championship in 0:00:45.240 --> 0:00:51.280 amazing fashion. I really do want to go see sumo 0:00:51.360 --> 0:00:54.240 wrestling in Japan live. When I was in Japan a 0:00:54.280 --> 0:00:56.240 couple of years ago, I was not able to. I 0:00:56.240 --> 0:00:58.200 think it would be unbelievable to go. I think it's 0:00:58.240 --> 0:01:01.680 super cool. Blue Jay's Dodger World Series is set in 0:01:01.720 --> 0:01:08.360 the NBA season tips off tonight to give a perspective 0:01:08.440 --> 0:01:14.640 of how football centric I am mentally this time of 0:01:14.720 --> 0:01:18.720 year is well. The perspective is given by the fact 0:01:18.760 --> 0:01:22.600 that the World Series being set and the NBA season 0:01:22.680 --> 0:01:26.280 tipping off tonight is missing the cut rather than being 0:01:26.360 --> 0:01:30.880 its own segments. I am during October. I am just 0:01:31.720 --> 0:01:35.280 the football still feels like. I'm just so happy it's back. 0:01:35.800 --> 0:01:41.360 I'm excited, and I'm actually I've actually been really into 0:01:41.400 --> 0:01:45.400 these baseball playoffs. But and I thought the ALCS was 0:01:45.800 --> 0:01:50.640 unbelievable theater, and George Springer put in the dot guys, 0:01:51.080 --> 0:01:56.520 where George Springer ranks in all time playoff home runs, 0:01:57.240 --> 0:02:03.200 It's gotta be crazy. I bet he's top five in 0:02:03.240 --> 0:02:06.880 the history of the sport in post and maybe I'm 0:02:06.880 --> 0:02:10.360 gonna look like a total moron, but in postseason home runs, 0:02:10.600 --> 0:02:13.680 because he had all those playoff runs with the Astros, 0:02:13.720 --> 0:02:18.399 won a World Series MVP, and then last night hit 0:02:18.440 --> 0:02:23.440 one of the sickest home runs in recent baseball history. 0:02:24.120 --> 0:02:29.760 His Blue Jays are going up against Otani's Dodgers, and 0:02:29.800 --> 0:02:33.919 Otani's obviously fresh off maybe the greatest baseball game ever 0:02:33.960 --> 0:02:39.880 played three bombs, ten strikeouts to clincher World Series birth 0:02:40.840 --> 0:02:47.600 and I'm still Oh, Hubbs just text me. Hubbs was 0:02:47.680 --> 0:02:51.880 shout out to the to the first Thing's first crew 0:02:51.919 --> 0:02:55.120 for watching the pod. They said, tied for third. Oh, 0:02:55.240 --> 0:02:57.800 this is big. So Hubbs text me tied for third. 0:02:57.880 --> 0:03:01.560 Daniel says, either tied for third or number two. Uh, 0:03:01.600 --> 0:03:04.079 they're gonna continue to research, all right. So my gut 0:03:04.120 --> 0:03:07.520 was right. Springer is just an all time postseason performer. 0:03:08.040 --> 0:03:11.519 With that said, it's a little unfair. Back in the day, 0:03:11.639 --> 0:03:14.920 like when Babe Ruth was playing, and then through Mickey 0:03:14.919 --> 0:03:18.280 Mantle and some of the all time legends, the only 0:03:18.400 --> 0:03:21.640 playoff series you played was the World Series. You had 0:03:21.680 --> 0:03:23.560 the regular season, then into the World Series you didn't 0:03:23.560 --> 0:03:27.720 have as many opportunities. But still Springer a legend. So 0:03:27.800 --> 0:03:31.520 that's all super exciting. The NBA season starts tonight, that's 0:03:31.560 --> 0:03:35.840 super exciting. Uh. Steven A seems to want to rekindle 0:03:36.520 --> 0:03:40.520 his beef with Lebron that's less exciting. I with all 0:03:40.520 --> 0:03:43.960 that said, I can't get into any of it really, 0:03:44.480 --> 0:03:47.760 And he is tied for third, Thank you guys, Because 0:03:48.200 --> 0:03:50.960 how many home runs does he need for most all time? 0:03:51.960 --> 0:03:55.600 I'm curious. I think he's at twenty three. And who 0:03:55.680 --> 0:03:58.520 is most? In fact, tell me who's first and second? 0:03:59.360 --> 0:04:03.280 Manny Remi is with twenty nine, Holy smokes. Manny, all right, 0:04:03.360 --> 0:04:07.920 so he's not gonna get there. But I'm not doing 0:04:07.960 --> 0:04:10.800 really any of that because I'm so into football right now. 0:04:11.080 --> 0:04:14.040 With that said, and jose Al Tuvey, one of his 0:04:14.040 --> 0:04:17.960 teammates in Houston's in second with twenty seven. With that said, 0:04:19.080 --> 0:04:25.279 I feel like the last forty eight hours a little 0:04:25.320 --> 0:04:32.560 too much football. I'm just getting from nine to thirty 0:04:32.640 --> 0:04:36.640 in the morning London game. Yeah, that was a must 0:04:36.680 --> 0:04:41.360 watch Rams Jags, even though it turned into a laugher. Yeah, 0:04:41.839 --> 0:04:45.000 then the one o'clock slate, then the four o'clock slate, 0:04:45.440 --> 0:04:50.760 then a sneaky good Sunday night game Falcons Niners, and 0:04:50.800 --> 0:04:54.039 then last night one of the most important games of 0:04:54.080 --> 0:04:57.440 the year is at seven this is all Eastern in 0:04:57.640 --> 0:05:02.599 Bucks Lions. And then a Hexton Seahawks game that ended 0:05:02.640 --> 0:05:07.080 at one thirty in the morning. We ended at one 0:05:07.279 --> 0:05:10.040 thirty in the morning. So let me just do this 0:05:10.120 --> 0:05:14.560 in real time, like it from between nine thirty in 0:05:14.600 --> 0:05:18.760 the morning Sunday morning to one thirty in the morning 0:05:19.160 --> 0:05:25.400 Tuesday morning, that is exactly forty hours, right, because nine thirty, 0:05:25.440 --> 0:05:29.960 Yeah it has to be. That's exactly forty hours. Of 0:05:30.040 --> 0:05:38.360 those forty hours nine thirty until eleven thirty. There's fourteen 0:05:38.920 --> 0:05:44.839 and then seven of those forty hours I spent twenty 0:05:45.120 --> 0:05:49.840 and a half of them watching professional football. Call it 0:05:49.920 --> 0:05:53.320 twenty even because the half hour in between Sunday night 0:05:53.360 --> 0:05:55.560 football kicking off and the end of the four of 0:05:55.600 --> 0:06:00.760 thirty games, so nine thirty am Sunday to one thirty 0:06:01.440 --> 0:06:06.120 am Monday night slash Tuesday morning is a forty hour window. 0:06:06.160 --> 0:06:09.840 Twenty hours I'm watching football. It was too much, man 0:06:10.279 --> 0:06:14.120 Texans Seahawks needed to end, and especially because the Texans 0:06:14.160 --> 0:06:16.839 had no interest in competing it well, that's not fair. 0:06:16.920 --> 0:06:20.520 Their defense was interested in competing. Their offense is broken. 0:06:21.200 --> 0:06:23.679 You get more to that, but I just I feel 0:06:23.680 --> 0:06:25.840 like my eye and now part of that also probably 0:06:25.839 --> 0:06:28.359 demands has to do with is as long as you know, 0:06:30.000 --> 0:06:32.320 you know, we are in the waning moments of your 0:06:32.320 --> 0:06:37.760 mother's birthday week, and that can really get ye. It's 0:06:37.800 --> 0:06:39.720 a lot. It's a lot of going. 0:06:39.480 --> 0:06:43.279 Out the daily up look, it's a lot of. 0:06:43.320 --> 0:06:46.240 It's a lot of people in the house. It's a 0:06:46.240 --> 0:06:50.240 lot of women here. It's a lot of can you 0:06:50.320 --> 0:06:53.640 run to Za bars? Can we do this? It's it's 0:06:53.680 --> 0:07:01.080 it's a lot more tequila than I in my older age, 0:07:01.240 --> 0:07:05.239 and you know, typically enjoy it's a lot of wait, 0:07:06.040 --> 0:07:09.520 you're taking a nap just so you can then get 0:07:09.600 --> 0:07:13.560 up and go out and then and so it's been 0:07:13.600 --> 0:07:18.960 it's been a long few days. But luckily one thing 0:07:19.080 --> 0:07:23.960 is back to normal, and that is the Chiefs. Reminder 0:07:24.080 --> 0:07:27.840 everyone like rate, subscribe, review to the pod iTunes, Spotify, 0:07:28.800 --> 0:07:34.120 YouTube demons. The Chiefs are the Chiefs. 0:07:34.400 --> 0:07:36.920 Go ahead, the chief The Chiefs are back in business man, 0:07:37.440 --> 0:07:41.080 So Rashi Rice is back. He dropped two touchdowns. Mahomes 0:07:41.160 --> 0:07:43.560 is thrown for two fifty plus for two straight games. 0:07:44.000 --> 0:07:47.200 The trick plays are back in full effect. Is this 0:07:47.280 --> 0:07:49.520 the version of the Chiefs that we should start expecting 0:07:49.520 --> 0:07:50.960 to see from here throughout? 0:07:51.040 --> 0:07:53.680 Well, listen thirty one nothing and I don't want to 0:07:53.680 --> 0:07:56.880 spend a ton. The Chiefs are so back that I 0:07:57.000 --> 0:08:01.000 almost thought should we even lead with them? Because them 0:08:01.040 --> 0:08:06.160 demolishing the Raiders doesn't even feel super news. A shutout, though, 0:08:06.640 --> 0:08:10.520 but a shutout, first shutout of Andy Reid's career. How 0:08:10.520 --> 0:08:14.720 about that first shutout? Yeah, first shutout for Kansas City 0:08:14.760 --> 0:08:17.880 since twenty eleven, a game against the Raiders. By the way, 0:08:17.960 --> 0:08:21.880 Mahomes has played eight games in his career to Monsey, 0:08:22.160 --> 0:08:25.760 where he beat the opposition by twenty eight or more. 0:08:26.160 --> 0:08:30.120 Five of the eight against the Raiders, the Chiefs had 0:08:30.200 --> 0:08:33.520 thirty first downs, the Raiders ran thirty plays. 0:08:34.080 --> 0:08:36.640 Is eighty three yards of offense the Raiders had. 0:08:37.200 --> 0:08:42.160 I mean, it's just awful. And now despite that, nobody 0:08:42.200 --> 0:08:44.120 believes me on this till they go look it up 0:08:44.760 --> 0:08:48.400 and I don't listen. Awful Announcing is probably gonna clip 0:08:48.480 --> 0:08:51.240 this or what I did on TV. They'll clip it, 0:08:51.720 --> 0:08:56.320 and the good people at Pro Football Focus are gonna 0:08:56.320 --> 0:09:01.920 be mad at me. But Pro Football Focus needs to 0:09:01.960 --> 0:09:06.439 have an all hands meeting where they do some real 0:09:06.559 --> 0:09:11.680 soul searching and I will, you know what, let me 0:09:11.679 --> 0:09:15.240 see if I can find the exact story. Charlie Batch. 0:09:15.960 --> 0:09:23.079 Total QBR best game is what I Okay, this is 0:09:23.559 --> 0:09:28.960 so when ESPN, I'm gonna tell a quick story. When 0:09:29.240 --> 0:09:37.600 ESPN first rolled out total QBR, they're proprietary metric that 0:09:37.880 --> 0:09:44.040 was going to basically be like a far greater passer rating. Okay, 0:09:44.280 --> 0:09:48.800 so people get these things confused. Passer rating is not QBR. 0:09:49.400 --> 0:09:54.960 Passer rating is a formula that's existed forever. It's really weird. 0:09:55.080 --> 0:09:58.680 A perfect score is one fifty eight point three. Twenty 0:09:58.720 --> 0:10:03.680 five percent of your score H is based on your 0:10:03.840 --> 0:10:07.199 completion percentage, twenty five percent is based on your yards 0:10:07.240 --> 0:10:10.520 per attempt, twenty five percent is based on your touchdown percentage, 0:10:10.520 --> 0:10:14.280 twenty five percent is based on your interception percentage. That's it. 0:10:14.280 --> 0:10:18.640 It's static. You can you can take any quarterback, any game, 0:10:19.160 --> 0:10:22.480 type it into the formula and it spits out. People 0:10:22.559 --> 0:10:26.160 get that conflated because it's called passer rating or quarterback 0:10:26.240 --> 0:10:33.360 rating with QBR, which is ESPN's proprietary stat that when 0:10:33.400 --> 0:10:36.960 it's proprietary like other people can't recreate it, that is 0:10:37.000 --> 0:10:42.880 supposed to demanda take everything into account basically. So one 0:10:43.240 --> 0:10:46.040 one weakness to passer rating is you get no credit 0:10:46.080 --> 0:10:49.319 for anything you do with your legs, so QBR takes 0:10:49.320 --> 0:10:52.560 that into account, avoiding sacks. It's it's a lot of 0:10:52.600 --> 0:10:53.720 stuff that. 0:10:55.640 --> 0:10:57.559 Say it again, Oh quickly you're getting the ball or 0:10:57.640 --> 0:10:58.319 is that not mattering? 0:10:59.120 --> 0:11:02.080 No, I think it's albeit prorietary, so I don't know. 0:11:02.160 --> 0:11:05.559 I think it's all of it. And they when they 0:11:05.600 --> 0:11:11.800 first rolled it out ten years ago, people were excited like, hey, 0:11:11.840 --> 0:11:16.040 this is a cool new way to grade quarterbacks and 0:11:17.120 --> 0:11:25.080 Florio discovered, to his credit that based on their proprietary 0:11:25.200 --> 0:11:32.920 algorithm that graded every quarterback game played. I think they 0:11:33.080 --> 0:11:36.240 dated you know, they did it. They went retroactive when 0:11:36.280 --> 0:11:42.839 they rolled it out. The single best quarterback performance of 0:11:42.880 --> 0:11:48.320 the two thousands, by the initial version of ESPN's QBR 0:11:50.320 --> 0:11:54.679 was a Charlie Batch game where he threw for one 0:11:54.800 --> 0:11:59.480 hundred and eighty six yards and two interceptions. By their 0:11:59.600 --> 0:12:03.680 priet panetary metric, that was the greatest quarterback game played 0:12:03.840 --> 0:12:10.240 on record. And so you know what ESPN did once 0:12:10.559 --> 0:12:16.880 they realized that, they said, hey, there's a flaw in 0:12:16.960 --> 0:12:21.960 our proprietary algorithm. We're gonna pull it back, tweak some 0:12:22.120 --> 0:12:27.720 things and figure out why why that game ended up 0:12:27.720 --> 0:12:30.120 being called the greatest game ever one hundred and eighty 0:12:30.120 --> 0:12:33.560 six yards, two touchment or two interceptions, pardon me. And 0:12:33.600 --> 0:12:38.840 that was smart. Like I understand that folks sometimes, like 0:12:39.000 --> 0:12:41.240 we believe in the algorithm, we shouldn't tweak it. But 0:12:41.320 --> 0:12:44.640 if something is so on its face wrong, you have 0:12:44.720 --> 0:12:48.240 to admit there's a problem in your process. I tell 0:12:48.320 --> 0:12:53.160 that long story to say this. I think the people 0:12:53.200 --> 0:12:57.000 at Pro Football Focus in general do good work. I 0:12:57.040 --> 0:13:05.160 think they're valuable if they are not having meetings this 0:13:05.280 --> 0:13:12.600 week where they say, guys, what is wrong with our 0:13:12.880 --> 0:13:20.880 quarterback grading system? Because something must be wrong with it. 0:13:21.760 --> 0:13:24.479 And this is the peace de Mondsey, You're not going. 0:13:24.240 --> 0:13:25.240 To believe. 0:13:26.840 --> 0:13:34.560 Pro Football Focuses quarterback rating system said on Sunday, Geno 0:13:34.840 --> 0:13:41.560 Smith played a better game than Patrick Mahomes. Between they 0:13:41.600 --> 0:13:46.079 published that, they put that out of the world. They said, 0:13:46.120 --> 0:13:52.080 from a passing perspective, on Sunday, Geno was the twelfth 0:13:52.160 --> 0:13:57.439 best quarterback in the league with a sixty seven grade 0:13:57.600 --> 0:14:01.480 and Patrick Mahomes was the sixteen best on Sunday with 0:14:01.559 --> 0:14:09.160 a sixty two grade. It is that single fact means 0:14:09.840 --> 0:14:14.320 the way you're doing it is broken. There is no 0:14:14.880 --> 0:14:18.960 way to massage it or work around to where if 0:14:19.040 --> 0:14:23.320 in a game, in that game you spit out the 0:14:23.400 --> 0:14:28.240 answer that actually, when you really look with a discerning eye, 0:14:28.880 --> 0:14:32.720 Geno through the ball better than Patrick, it means your 0:14:32.720 --> 0:14:39.240 system's broken. And it is important in all facets of life. 0:14:39.680 --> 0:14:46.240 When you are presented with unequivocal evidence that's part of 0:14:46.280 --> 0:14:49.800 your process is wrong to reevaluate your process. And again, 0:14:50.320 --> 0:14:53.600 I like Pro Football Focus in general. One of the 0:14:53.640 --> 0:14:58.280 original PFF guys, Sam Monson, who now does his own thing, 0:14:58.600 --> 0:15:02.560 does a great podcast called Check the Mic. I like 0:15:02.680 --> 0:15:04.520 him a lot. I have a lot of respect for 0:15:04.560 --> 0:15:11.160 these folks, but it will show a organizational and institutional 0:15:11.400 --> 0:15:16.080 arrogance if they don't try to correct course on this. 0:15:17.160 --> 0:15:19.400 And again, I'm not talking about a season long grade. 0:15:19.520 --> 0:15:22.840 I'm not talking about the way I'm saying this very 0:15:23.400 --> 0:15:27.200 you should have a moment where you say, guys, what's 0:15:27.320 --> 0:15:30.840 going on here? If we're supposed to be the smart 0:15:30.840 --> 0:15:37.760 folks and our information says Gino Smith threw the ball 0:15:37.800 --> 0:15:41.800 better in that game than Patrick Mahomes, And I mean, 0:15:41.960 --> 0:15:45.240 just see if they do it. So there's that now 0:15:45.280 --> 0:15:48.000 to answer your question, is this going to be the 0:15:48.000 --> 0:15:54.000 standard for the Chiefs? And this was so much of 0:15:54.040 --> 0:15:58.200 my frustration about the concern trolling over the last couple 0:15:58.200 --> 0:16:04.080 of years about Kansas City. All Patrick's ever needed is 0:16:04.120 --> 0:16:07.080 an offensive line he trusts and receivers will be in 0:16:07.120 --> 0:16:10.160 the right place. You give him that, and they're the 0:16:10.160 --> 0:16:14.880 best offense in the league, period, point blank. Now, I 0:16:14.920 --> 0:16:18.360 will say, Josh Simmons, the rookie left tackle who's just 0:16:18.440 --> 0:16:21.120 been gone for two weeks now, and Andy Reid is 0:16:21.160 --> 0:16:25.760 giving us no information about it. It's concerning Omar Norman Lott. 0:16:25.880 --> 0:16:28.920 Their second round pick tore his ACL. So that's your 0:16:28.960 --> 0:16:33.360 first round pick who's gone and don't know if and 0:16:33.400 --> 0:16:35.760 when he's coming back, and your second round picks lost 0:16:35.800 --> 0:16:39.360 for the season. That's not ideal. They need pass rush help. 0:16:40.080 --> 0:16:43.240 I'm not gonna act like they're a perfect team. Luckily, 0:16:43.560 --> 0:16:45.600 you don't have to be the perfect team to be 0:16:45.720 --> 0:16:48.040 far and away the best team in football. And right 0:16:48.080 --> 0:16:50.200 now they're far and away the best team in football 0:16:50.800 --> 0:16:53.880 because the Detroit Lions last night and we'll get to them, 0:16:54.160 --> 0:16:59.080 looked pretty awesome dealing with all the same defensive injuries 0:16:59.080 --> 0:17:02.160 they had against the Chiefs plus a suspended Brian Branch, 0:17:02.840 --> 0:17:10.040 and the Chiefs beat them handling. So Kansas City is 0:17:12.160 --> 0:17:17.439 deservedly the big favorites now, the favorites and everything DeMont 0:17:17.440 --> 0:17:20.760 s the Super Bowl, the AFC, the AFC West, and 0:17:20.800 --> 0:17:24.800 mahomes the favorite for MVP. And it just feels great 0:17:25.320 --> 0:17:30.400 that we've kind of gotten back to what is equilibrium 0:17:30.480 --> 0:17:33.040 for the NFL in twenty twenty, which is it's the 0:17:33.119 --> 0:17:34.600 Chiefs and then everybody. 0:17:34.240 --> 0:17:37.960 Else just need a running back now, that's all. 0:17:38.040 --> 0:17:40.439 I don't think they're going to trade for one. I 0:17:40.440 --> 0:17:42.159 think if they trade for anyone, it's going to be 0:17:42.160 --> 0:17:42.840 a d Lineman. 0:17:43.520 --> 0:17:45.840 Well, with Mahomes saying that we want to be better 0:17:45.880 --> 0:17:49.119 with than what we are, now, what improvements would you expect? 0:17:49.200 --> 0:17:51.080 I guess that's the one, yeah, you expected of me. 0:17:51.600 --> 0:17:54.160 I mean, they need to get a better pass rush 0:17:54.480 --> 0:17:57.080 and I'd like a more consistent running game. But the 0:17:57.480 --> 0:18:00.600 reporting is they're not trading for a running back and 0:18:00.640 --> 0:18:02.960 folks are The other thing they want to know is 0:18:03.000 --> 0:18:06.639 what of those what's the best bet right now for 0:18:06.680 --> 0:18:09.479 people jumping on the bandwagon, And the answer is the 0:18:09.520 --> 0:18:12.160 best bets probably one you should have made a few 0:18:12.160 --> 0:18:15.080 weeks ago. I mean, you could have gotten the Chiefs 0:18:15.160 --> 0:18:18.240 for real. You could have gotten the Chiefs at twelve 0:18:19.320 --> 0:18:22.400 thirteen to one to win the Super Bowl. You could 0:18:22.440 --> 0:18:25.480 have gotten them at plus three hundred to win the Division. 0:18:26.200 --> 0:18:29.080 If I were gonna make any if the Chiefs to 0:18:29.119 --> 0:18:32.720 win the AFC West at minus one thirty feels like 0:18:33.920 --> 0:18:37.400 the safest bet of all those. Mahomes at plus one 0:18:37.520 --> 0:18:40.520 twenty five is just it's just not a good enough number. 0:18:40.760 --> 0:18:43.680 A week ago, you could have gotten Mahomes plus Baker, 0:18:44.440 --> 0:18:47.000 either one of them hard Rock made that for you 0:18:47.040 --> 0:18:50.200 at plus one fifty. Now mahomes by himself plus one 0:18:50.240 --> 0:18:56.399 twenty five, it's just the you should have gotten at 0:18:56.400 --> 0:18:59.520 at a better number, at least in my opinion.

All right, demanse, let's get to the early 0:20:52.000 --> 0:20:52.760 Monday night game. 0:20:53.320 --> 0:20:55.400 So the Lions took care of the Bucks last night. 0:20:55.480 --> 0:20:57.200 As we know, the Bucks are dealing with a bunch 0:20:57.200 --> 0:20:59.639 of injuries. Mike Evans even went down in the game. 0:21:00.440 --> 0:21:04.320 So with that seven big TiAl, just real quick, let's 0:21:04.320 --> 0:21:08.159 talk about Mike Evans. One of the coolest streaks in 0:21:08.240 --> 0:21:15.800 football history is done now. Mike Evans, who it's eleven 0:21:15.880 --> 0:21:20.200 straight years of one thousand yards, came into the league 0:21:20.200 --> 0:21:24.080 in twenty fourteen, had a thousand yards receiving or more 0:21:24.560 --> 0:21:29.120 every single year and a fu I mean, his fourth year, Demons, 0:21:29.520 --> 0:21:32.440 he had one thousand and one, his seventh year he 0:21:32.480 --> 0:21:35.560 had a thousand and six. Last year he had one 0:21:35.600 --> 0:21:37.920 thousand and four and got it on the final play 0:21:37.920 --> 0:21:39.760 of the season, and they were trying to get it 0:21:39.760 --> 0:21:48.440 for him. It's so funny, he's he's has I'm trying 0:21:48.480 --> 0:21:51.719 to get this exactly right. Eleven straight years with one 0:21:51.760 --> 0:21:57.560 thousand yards. Four of those five of those eleven he 0:21:57.600 --> 0:22:01.000 did not get to eleven hundred and then he had 0:22:01.440 --> 0:22:05.919 two eleven hundred yard seasons, a twelve hundred yard, a 0:22:06.040 --> 0:22:11.320 thirteen hundred yard, a fifteen hundred yard and you know, 0:22:11.560 --> 0:22:14.320 so he had one monster year with the fifteen hundred 0:22:14.640 --> 0:22:18.480 before Brady got there. But he's just been wildly consistent. 0:22:18.560 --> 0:22:22.520 It's now over and his seat. Depending on how bad 0:22:22.560 --> 0:22:24.720 the collar bone break is, his season could be over. 0:22:25.040 --> 0:22:27.399 You gotta hope he can be back for the postseason. 0:22:27.680 --> 0:22:31.560 This is my Super Bowl pick. As good as Abukah's been. 0:22:33.040 --> 0:22:38.240 They need Mike Evans back, so that's important. And they, 0:22:38.320 --> 0:22:44.640 you know, the Bucks, to their credit, dealt with all 0:22:44.720 --> 0:22:47.399 the injuries as well as any team in football could have, 0:22:48.119 --> 0:22:50.439 and it was really important. They got the you know, 0:22:50.480 --> 0:22:52.960 the win against the Seahawks, to win against the Niners 0:22:53.520 --> 0:22:57.000 at the lost. Beating the Lions would have really put 0:22:57.040 --> 0:23:00.240 them in the catbird seat in the NFC. Losing, they're 0:23:00.240 --> 0:23:00.879 still okay. 0:23:01.680 --> 0:23:04.080 And the Saints, I feel like you still did it 0:23:04.119 --> 0:23:05.800 pretty good, like the defense kept them in the game. 0:23:05.840 --> 0:23:07.600 Baker just couldn't really get anything going. 0:23:09.040 --> 0:23:12.560 Getting anything going. And I before I get to the Lions, 0:23:12.560 --> 0:23:13.960 I want to say just one other things. 0:23:15.080 --> 0:23:17.720 What oh I thought nothing? I know Gibbs is carving 0:23:17.800 --> 0:23:18.280 them up, but. 0:23:18.720 --> 0:23:21.000 No, Gibbs is unbelievable. But I want to say something 0:23:21.000 --> 0:23:26.640 about officiating. Okay, because the Lions spent all week crying 0:23:27.840 --> 0:23:34.000 the fans more than the players, but about correctly called 0:23:34.640 --> 0:23:39.080 a correctly called play and Lions media. I got Mike 0:23:39.200 --> 0:23:43.400 Valinti on the ticket in Detroit saying the NFL's wrestling 0:23:43.480 --> 0:23:46.440 and their scriptwriters and all that. And then you saw 0:23:46.560 --> 0:23:52.480 last night where just a horrifically officiated game. And I 0:23:52.480 --> 0:23:56.080 don't blame officials for anything. I'm making an observation, including 0:23:56.119 --> 0:24:00.480 an instance where the referees said, we reviewed a here's 0:24:00.480 --> 0:24:03.600 our ruling. Wait a minute, we're gonna review it a 0:24:03.640 --> 0:24:07.199 second time and in fact change our ruling and tell 0:24:08.080 --> 0:24:11.280 the Lions you're we're gonna give you your challenge and 0:24:11.440 --> 0:24:19.520 time out back. The point I have made for three 0:24:19.600 --> 0:24:24.080 years and I will make again for everyone that hyperventilates 0:24:24.119 --> 0:24:28.880 about the Chiefs and the refs is a very simple one. 0:24:30.480 --> 0:24:39.119 Officiating professional football is very, very, very difficult, and I 0:24:39.119 --> 0:24:41.840 think guys are doing their best, and I can't even 0:24:41.920 --> 0:24:44.119 say they're not good at it. They might be the 0:24:44.160 --> 0:24:49.159 best you can be, but it's hard to do. And 0:24:49.400 --> 0:24:55.520 if you are in a standalone national TV game, you 0:24:55.640 --> 0:25:00.439 are going to see a lot of questionable calls. The 0:25:00.600 --> 0:25:06.320 Chiefs play more standalone national TV games than anyone there 0:25:06.400 --> 0:25:10.960 and they usually win the games. Therefore, there's a lot 0:25:11.000 --> 0:25:16.359 of moments you remember of, oh man, this bad call 0:25:17.480 --> 0:25:22.960 helped Kansas City. And if you look at if you 0:25:23.160 --> 0:25:30.159 change your perspective and just say, is there awful officiating 0:25:30.840 --> 0:25:36.199 in every standalone national TV game, it makes you a 0:25:36.240 --> 0:25:42.720 lot less conspiratorial because last night's officiating was a wreck 0:25:42.840 --> 0:25:46.560 the whole time. And it's just because it's really hard 0:25:46.560 --> 0:25:49.240 to officiate in this league. So the Lions went from 0:25:49.440 --> 0:25:52.560 two weeks ago the Lions are mad or a week 0:25:52.600 --> 0:25:56.760 ago for a correctly called play that they thought they 0:25:56.800 --> 0:25:59.960 got help from New York. On last night they benefited 0:26:00.200 --> 0:26:03.119 from a double review, which I'd never seen. Guys, just 0:26:03.160 --> 0:26:06.880 gonna be happening. It's just officiating in the NFL. It's 0:26:06.920 --> 0:26:10.399 not one team versus another. Now, as far as the 0:26:10.440 --> 0:26:15.800 Lions team goes, that was a great win, Demonsey. If 0:26:15.800 --> 0:26:19.280 they lose there, they've lost to Green Bay and Tampa 0:26:19.320 --> 0:26:22.840 and they have three losses now. Instead of that, they 0:26:22.880 --> 0:26:25.600 have the head to head tiebreaker with Tampa and they're 0:26:25.680 --> 0:26:29.280 just a half game behind green Bay. So that's a 0:26:29.320 --> 0:26:33.320 great win for the Lions. My concern would be this 0:26:34.760 --> 0:26:38.960 does does is it fair? To you, do you think 0:26:38.960 --> 0:26:41.439 it's fair for me to say golf just seems a 0:26:41.520 --> 0:26:45.199 little shakier this year. I know his numbers have been great, 0:26:45.240 --> 0:26:47.840 but it just feels he doesn't feel quite as crisp 0:26:47.840 --> 0:26:51.040 as last year. But Gibbs is unbelievable. I mean, Gibbs 0:26:51.160 --> 0:26:54.439 is an unbelievable player, but that's my my. 0:26:54.640 --> 0:26:59.959 Other guy to me, is ridiculous. He just got a lot. 0:27:01.760 --> 0:27:04.520 Bradholmes serves a ton of credit. They've drafted so well, 0:27:05.160 --> 0:27:10.120 and he's taking unconventional positions for great players. I mean, 0:27:10.240 --> 0:27:14.000 everybody killed the Gibbs pick. People didn't love the report 0:27:14.040 --> 0:27:19.720 of awesome. Gibbs is unbelievable, and he's always fresh because 0:27:19.720 --> 0:27:26.080 they use Montgomery. Gibbs is a great football player. All right, 0:27:26.119 --> 0:27:27.480
