0:01:58.760 --> 0:02:02.240
<v Speaker 2>Deman's So this this is our a little scheduling update.

0:02:02.560 --> 0:02:07.120
<v Speaker 2>This is our last live show until the new year.

0:02:07.680 --> 0:02:11.519
<v Speaker 2>Next week we will have we will have new content,

0:02:11.919 --> 0:02:14.040
<v Speaker 2>but they won't be live shows. It will be somewhat

0:02:14.120 --> 0:02:17.040
<v Speaker 2>year end review. We will also on our social channels

0:02:17.280 --> 0:02:20.440
<v Speaker 2>put out my Bets, which once again had another losing week.

0:02:20.560 --> 0:02:22.960
<v Speaker 2>It's a rough season. There's no way around it. As

0:02:22.960 --> 0:02:24.720
<v Speaker 2>a gambling show, I just got to admit to it.

0:02:25.280 --> 0:02:28.600
<v Speaker 2>I'm running out of real estate to keep my streak

0:02:28.680 --> 0:02:32.200
<v Speaker 2>of profitable years alive. I am running out of real

0:02:32.320 --> 0:02:36.000
<v Speaker 2>estate to ever hit a five and zero. We don't

0:02:36.040 --> 0:02:39.360
<v Speaker 2>have a lot of time left With that said, the

0:02:39.520 --> 0:02:43.520
<v Speaker 2>last time we didn't do a gambling show Thanksgiving and

0:02:43.600 --> 0:02:46.399
<v Speaker 2>I gave out the picks online, I did go four

0:02:46.440 --> 0:02:49.799
<v Speaker 2>and one, So maybe the key is not overthinking it

0:02:50.160 --> 0:02:53.600
<v Speaker 2>putting them out right before the games kickoff and going

0:02:53.639 --> 0:02:57.400
<v Speaker 2>from there. Maybe that's helpful. Also, it probably was helpful

0:02:57.760 --> 0:03:00.160
<v Speaker 2>that last time we did that, we had two of

0:03:00.160 --> 0:03:02.880
<v Speaker 2>those picks were Thanksgiving Day games and I gave him

0:03:02.880 --> 0:03:06.200
<v Speaker 2>out Thanksgiving morning, so I had all the available information,

0:03:06.360 --> 0:03:09.640
<v Speaker 2>Like this week, what am I supposed to do with

0:03:09.760 --> 0:03:13.919
<v Speaker 2>some of these games when we don't know so bucks Jags,

0:03:14.360 --> 0:03:16.160
<v Speaker 2>I don't know if the Prince is playing or not,

0:03:16.639 --> 0:03:18.919
<v Speaker 2>and if he is playing, I don't know the forecast

0:03:18.960 --> 0:03:22.160
<v Speaker 2>because my guy, the Prince, really seems to trouble to

0:03:22.200 --> 0:03:25.640
<v Speaker 2>have trouble with the slippery football. So there's a lot

0:03:25.680 --> 0:03:27.720
<v Speaker 2>of balls in the air, if you will. But we

0:03:27.800 --> 0:03:29.880
<v Speaker 2>have a full show for you today. We're actually gonna

0:03:29.880 --> 0:03:31.680
<v Speaker 2>do a four segment show. We'll try to keep it

0:03:31.720 --> 0:03:34.560
<v Speaker 2>to the regular time. So before we get into the

0:03:34.600 --> 0:03:37.480
<v Speaker 2>start of the show, let's get into what missed the cut,

0:03:37.600 --> 0:03:41.120
<v Speaker 2>including maybe the best performance in the NBA this season,

0:03:41.440 --> 0:03:47.080
<v Speaker 2>Joel Embiid scoring fifty one against arguably the league's best team,

0:03:47.240 --> 0:03:50.960
<v Speaker 2>inarguably the league's best defense in the Minnesota Timberwolves. That's

0:03:50.960 --> 0:03:58.200
<v Speaker 2>not on the show. Well, oh wow, taking shots at

0:03:58.240 --> 0:04:02.120
<v Speaker 2>Joel Embiid. I mean, listen, and he does, and I

0:04:02.160 --> 0:04:06.240
<v Speaker 2>think the kids call it him Well, so listen, the

0:04:06.320 --> 0:04:10.200
<v Speaker 2>kids call that being a foul merchant or something. Here's

0:04:10.240 --> 0:04:15.880
<v Speaker 2>the thing about him falling. Joel Embiid was taught to

0:04:16.279 --> 0:04:19.400
<v Speaker 2>fall when he was dealing with all those lower body

0:04:19.440 --> 0:04:23.440
<v Speaker 2>injuries early in his career. Now it might sound counterintuitive,

0:04:23.920 --> 0:04:28.080
<v Speaker 2>but what the Sixers training staff and doctors said was

0:04:28.400 --> 0:04:34.279
<v Speaker 2>because he's so big that landing awkwardly is worse for

0:04:34.680 --> 0:04:38.080
<v Speaker 2>his feet, his ankles, his knees than just kind of

0:04:38.160 --> 0:04:43.360
<v Speaker 2>like slowly falling to the ground because it dissipates more force. Now,

0:04:43.400 --> 0:04:45.760
<v Speaker 2>maybe you can argue he's taken that to an extreme,

0:04:46.120 --> 0:04:49.000
<v Speaker 2>but that's on purpose. What they didn't want him to

0:04:49.120 --> 0:04:52.279
<v Speaker 2>keep doing was, you know, landing hard and trying to

0:04:52.360 --> 0:04:55.200
<v Speaker 2>keep his balance. They told him basically, you know what

0:04:55.240 --> 0:04:59.520
<v Speaker 2>I mean, almost cartoonishly fall to the ground. Now he

0:04:59.560 --> 0:05:02.040
<v Speaker 2>does get a lot of foul calls that you know,

0:05:02.560 --> 0:05:04.599
<v Speaker 2>I would wish the oldest player in the league who's

0:05:04.640 --> 0:05:07.280
<v Speaker 2>played seventy thousand minutes could get. But I guess it's

0:05:07.279 --> 0:05:10.480
<v Speaker 2>never gonna happen. CJ. Stroud probably not gonna play against

0:05:10.520 --> 0:05:13.719
<v Speaker 2>the Brown still dealing with the concussion, and Tommy Cutlets

0:05:13.760 --> 0:05:15.960
<v Speaker 2>makes an appearance at a pizza shop, and a lot

0:05:16.000 --> 0:05:19.120
<v Speaker 2>of this Tommy DeVito commentary has struck me as slightly

0:05:19.200 --> 0:05:22.560
<v Speaker 2>anti Italian or at least stereotypical, and I don't really

0:05:22.640 --> 0:05:25.360
<v Speaker 2>love it. Is you know, your favorite Italian American sports

0:05:25.400 --> 0:05:28.640
<v Speaker 2>media member demons. Let's get to the show.

0:05:29.920 --> 0:05:30.280
<v Speaker 3>All right.

0:05:30.320 --> 0:05:32.560
<v Speaker 4>So Miami and the Cowboys they go ahead to head

0:05:32.600 --> 0:05:36.320
<v Speaker 4>this Sunday Christmas Eve. Dallas doesn't have a statement win

0:05:36.360 --> 0:05:40.120
<v Speaker 4>outside of going one and one with Philly, and Miami

0:05:40.200 --> 0:05:42.520
<v Speaker 4>hasn't beating hasn't beaten a winning team.

0:05:42.880 --> 0:05:44.680
<v Speaker 3>I think we've got a tweet for those watching.

0:05:44.480 --> 0:05:48.320
<v Speaker 4>On YouTube from you, but which one of these which

0:05:48.360 --> 0:05:50.320
<v Speaker 4>one of these teams? Would prove to be a Super

0:05:50.320 --> 0:05:53.080
<v Speaker 4>Bowl threat with a statement win. I don't know, I can't.

0:05:53.360 --> 0:05:56.880
<v Speaker 2>Oh, that's fine. So the tweets from NFL on CBS

0:05:57.400 --> 0:05:59.960
<v Speaker 2>Cowboys Dolphins be the first game in NFL history between

0:06:00.080 --> 0:06:02.760
<v Speaker 2>teams with twenty combined wins but one or fewer against

0:06:02.760 --> 0:06:05.839
<v Speaker 2>teams above five hundred. Cowboys one and three against teams

0:06:05.880 --> 0:06:09.560
<v Speaker 2>above five hundred, Dolphins zero to three against teams above

0:06:09.600 --> 0:06:12.960
<v Speaker 2>five hundred. So, before I answer the question, something on

0:06:13.000 --> 0:06:19.000
<v Speaker 2>the above five hundred stuff. It is noteworthy, it's slightly misleading.

0:06:19.360 --> 0:06:24.080
<v Speaker 2>So here's the question I would ask the audience. Will

0:06:24.120 --> 0:06:28.960
<v Speaker 2>you think the Cowboys are a far better team than

0:06:29.000 --> 0:06:32.200
<v Speaker 2>you think they are right now? If the Rams beat

0:06:32.279 --> 0:06:35.839
<v Speaker 2>the Saints tonight? The Rams beating the Saints should have

0:06:35.920 --> 0:06:38.599
<v Speaker 2>no impact on what you think of the Cowboys, right

0:06:39.320 --> 0:06:42.960
<v Speaker 2>And let's go ahead and say, also, if Seattle beats

0:06:43.000 --> 0:06:46.280
<v Speaker 2>the Titans this weekend, will you think the Cowboys are

0:06:46.320 --> 0:06:48.680
<v Speaker 2>a far better team than you think they are right now?

0:06:48.720 --> 0:06:51.640
<v Speaker 2>Probably not, But if those two things happen all of

0:06:51.640 --> 0:06:55.279
<v Speaker 2>a sudden, the Cowboys have three wins against teams above

0:06:55.320 --> 0:06:59.760
<v Speaker 2>five hundred. So the reason the Rams and the Seahawks

0:06:59.800 --> 0:07:03.479
<v Speaker 2>are above five hundred is because the Cowboys beat them.

0:07:03.680 --> 0:07:08.000
<v Speaker 2>They're both seven and seven, and so I understand the oh,

0:07:08.080 --> 0:07:11.520
<v Speaker 2>you beat up on bottom feeder's critique. But two of

0:07:11.560 --> 0:07:14.640
<v Speaker 2>the Cowboys wins came against teams that I think are

0:07:14.640 --> 0:07:17.880
<v Speaker 2>going to be playoff teams potentially certainly the Rams, impossibly

0:07:17.920 --> 0:07:21.280
<v Speaker 2>the Seahawks, and right now those don't count as above

0:07:21.320 --> 0:07:23.400
<v Speaker 2>five hundred wins, but they might by the end of

0:07:23.400 --> 0:07:28.920
<v Speaker 2>the year. Now to the question about who proves to

0:07:28.920 --> 0:07:31.080
<v Speaker 2>be a Super Bowl threat with a statement win this week,

0:07:31.360 --> 0:07:36.920
<v Speaker 2>I think it's Dallas. I think Dallas has all the

0:07:36.960 --> 0:07:41.560
<v Speaker 2>makings of a legitimate Super Bowl contender. Now maybe it

0:07:41.720 --> 0:07:46.080
<v Speaker 2>won't matter because the Niners are just too good for everybody.

0:07:46.120 --> 0:07:49.040
<v Speaker 2>That seems to be what Vegas thinks. That's certainly what

0:07:49.080 --> 0:07:54.400
<v Speaker 2>the media thinks. Every NFL conversation seems to be polluted

0:07:54.440 --> 0:07:57.400
<v Speaker 2>by the fact that the vast majority of the media

0:07:57.480 --> 0:08:00.680
<v Speaker 2>seems to think the whole league is as you would say,

0:08:00.680 --> 0:08:05.640
<v Speaker 2>Demont's a mid or worse except for the Niners and

0:08:05.800 --> 0:08:09.360
<v Speaker 2>maybe the Ravens. It's like, the Niners are great, the

0:08:09.440 --> 0:08:13.440
<v Speaker 2>Ravens are potentially really good, and everyone else thinks because

0:08:13.480 --> 0:08:16.800
<v Speaker 2>when we talk about the Chiefs, the Cowboys, the Dolphins,

0:08:17.000 --> 0:08:19.720
<v Speaker 2>who are in my opinion, third, fourth fifth in most

0:08:19.760 --> 0:08:22.280
<v Speaker 2>people's power rankings. We only talk about what they're not

0:08:22.320 --> 0:08:26.600
<v Speaker 2>good at. So if we're only picking apart top you know,

0:08:26.680 --> 0:08:30.320
<v Speaker 2>teams that are consensus top five the other you know what,

0:08:30.520 --> 0:08:33.080
<v Speaker 2>let me change it. I think the media actually thinks

0:08:33.120 --> 0:08:36.880
<v Speaker 2>there's three good teams, one great team, the Niners, and

0:08:36.920 --> 0:08:40.320
<v Speaker 2>then two good teams, the Ravens and the Buffalo Bills.

0:08:40.679 --> 0:08:46.120
<v Speaker 2>The Buffalo Bills get more credit for their season, then

0:08:46.200 --> 0:08:49.280
<v Speaker 2>teams that have been consistently good all year get for theirs.

0:08:49.320 --> 0:08:52.280
<v Speaker 2>But that's you know, that is what it is now.

0:08:52.679 --> 0:08:56.440
<v Speaker 2>The Dolphins, I thought, had a really impressive win this

0:08:56.480 --> 0:08:58.760
<v Speaker 2>past week. I understand it was against the Jets, but

0:08:58.840 --> 0:09:01.080
<v Speaker 2>the way they did it and do it it without Tyreek.

0:09:01.559 --> 0:09:07.959
<v Speaker 2>I'm also impressed by the media at large's ability to

0:09:08.360 --> 0:09:14.559
<v Speaker 2>accurately and I think fairly watch Tua Tongue of Iloa

0:09:14.640 --> 0:09:19.000
<v Speaker 2>say he's good but probably not great, recognize the system

0:09:20.559 --> 0:09:24.559
<v Speaker 2>about the exactly right, exactly right. It's amazing to me

0:09:25.040 --> 0:09:28.320
<v Speaker 2>that we can have and by the way, Tua this

0:09:28.400 --> 0:09:30.839
<v Speaker 2>week did something perty has not been able to do,

0:09:31.400 --> 0:09:33.640
<v Speaker 2>which is play a game without one of his Avengers

0:09:33.640 --> 0:09:36.200
<v Speaker 2>and play great. We're yet to see that from Brock

0:09:36.320 --> 0:09:39.439
<v Speaker 2>this year. But for some reason, I've got to deal

0:09:39.480 --> 0:09:42.280
<v Speaker 2>with Rock Party being an overwhelming favorite to win league

0:09:42.360 --> 0:09:46.400
<v Speaker 2>MVP and Tua, whose numbers aren't as good but they're

0:09:46.640 --> 0:09:50.400
<v Speaker 2>in the same ballpark, has just been totally dismissed as

0:09:50.400 --> 0:09:52.920
<v Speaker 2>a candidate, as he should be, by the way, because

0:09:52.920 --> 0:09:55.400
<v Speaker 2>people were like, oh, it's Tyreek. We see Tua do

0:09:55.480 --> 0:09:58.240
<v Speaker 2>it without Tyreek. Nobody cares. It's a weird thing going on.

0:09:58.520 --> 0:10:01.360
<v Speaker 2>With all that said, I think Dallas wins. Miami's in

0:10:01.520 --> 0:10:05.200
<v Speaker 2>with a bunch of injuries. None of their their entire

0:10:06.000 --> 0:10:09.800
<v Speaker 2>offensive line miss practice yesterday. That seems like a problem.

0:10:09.840 --> 0:10:12.200
<v Speaker 2>We don't know if two is going to play, and

0:10:12.280 --> 0:10:15.240
<v Speaker 2>I think Miami is a good not great team. I

0:10:15.240 --> 0:10:17.840
<v Speaker 2>think Dallas can be a great team. And dating back

0:10:17.880 --> 0:10:21.040
<v Speaker 2>to December of twenty one, Dallas is nine to oh

0:10:21.200 --> 0:10:24.440
<v Speaker 2>with an average margin of victory of nearly twenty points

0:10:24.960 --> 0:10:27.880
<v Speaker 2>coming off a loss. So I like Dallas in this spot.

0:10:27.920 --> 0:10:32.960
<v Speaker 2>All right, next, all right, So the Ravens are facing

0:10:33.000 --> 0:10:36.400
<v Speaker 2>off against the Niners. I think that's next Monday. Yeah,

0:10:36.440 --> 0:10:39.360
<v Speaker 2>what are you gonna do, buddy? That's Christmas Night, Who

0:10:39.400 --> 0:10:43.640
<v Speaker 2>are you rooting for? These are your two guys, this

0:10:43.760 --> 0:10:48.080
<v Speaker 2>is it, Brock and Lamar. But I mean you're a

0:10:48.160 --> 0:10:49.319
<v Speaker 2>huge practice.

0:10:49.800 --> 0:10:51.760
<v Speaker 4>I just think you're unfair to me and I feel

0:10:51.760 --> 0:10:54.559
<v Speaker 4>like I got a kpe for him sometimes. But uh okay,

0:10:54.679 --> 0:10:56.760
<v Speaker 4>But yeah, I think this will I think this will

0:10:56.800 --> 0:10:58.920
<v Speaker 4>be a good a good chance to see how we

0:10:59.200 --> 0:10:59.960
<v Speaker 4>match up against the Night.

0:11:00.360 --> 0:11:01.120
<v Speaker 3>I think it's scary.

0:11:01.160 --> 0:11:05.160
<v Speaker 4>I think if we stay within seven points, I'm happy.

0:11:05.559 --> 0:11:08.439
<v Speaker 2>Oh wow, no faith in your Ravens.

0:11:08.840 --> 0:11:11.160
<v Speaker 4>No, it's it's I mean, LaVar is gonna be I

0:11:11.160 --> 0:11:13.200
<v Speaker 4>think it's gonna be forced to throw the ball this game,

0:11:13.280 --> 0:11:15.400
<v Speaker 4>and I would like to see him be forced to

0:11:15.440 --> 0:11:16.480
<v Speaker 4>throw the ball and see.

0:11:16.320 --> 0:11:17.240
<v Speaker 3>How it turns out.

0:11:17.440 --> 0:11:19.880
<v Speaker 4>I'm saying within seven to be modest, but I think

0:11:19.880 --> 0:11:21.720
<v Speaker 4>there's a chance they won the game. But I just

0:11:21.760 --> 0:11:23.319
<v Speaker 4>haven't seen them face up against each other.

0:11:23.400 --> 0:11:27.720
<v Speaker 2>So so this is a weird spot for me because

0:11:27.800 --> 0:11:31.440
<v Speaker 2>I need the Niners to win. I'm gonna be Christmas

0:11:31.559 --> 0:11:34.360
<v Speaker 2>Night rooting for Brock party because I need the Ravens

0:11:34.360 --> 0:11:36.240
<v Speaker 2>to lose twice in the final three weeks for the

0:11:36.280 --> 0:11:38.800
<v Speaker 2>Chiefs to be over the over the Chiefs. Yeah, so

0:11:38.960 --> 0:11:41.360
<v Speaker 2>I need I need the Niner. I'm gonna be a

0:11:41.400 --> 0:11:45.640
<v Speaker 2>big Brock Party fan this weekend. I guess like my

0:11:45.800 --> 0:11:49.760
<v Speaker 2>best possible result would be somehow like a ten to

0:11:49.920 --> 0:11:53.439
<v Speaker 2>three Niners victory where Party doesn't play well but the

0:11:53.520 --> 0:11:55.920
<v Speaker 2>Niners find a way to win. That would be for

0:11:56.080 --> 0:12:01.319
<v Speaker 2>my own take agenda, the best case scenario. I do

0:12:01.400 --> 0:12:09.040
<v Speaker 2>think that I I think the Ravens defense absolutely could

0:12:09.120 --> 0:12:13.440
<v Speaker 2>give the Niners some real trouble. With that said, this

0:12:13.520 --> 0:12:17.200
<v Speaker 2>is the Ravens going cross country to a Niners team

0:12:17.280 --> 0:12:20.360
<v Speaker 2>that is not only rolling, but fully healthy, and the

0:12:20.440 --> 0:12:24.440
<v Speaker 2>Ravens and I know, Demonse, maybe you agree with me.

0:12:24.520 --> 0:12:26.040
<v Speaker 2>I shouldn't say I know, because I don't know if

0:12:26.080 --> 0:12:29.080
<v Speaker 2>you agree or disagree with me on this. The Ravens,

0:12:29.080 --> 0:12:34.240
<v Speaker 2>despite the winning streak, have looked to me shaky the

0:12:34.320 --> 0:12:38.320
<v Speaker 2>last three weeks. I thought three weeks ago that Chargers game,

0:12:38.640 --> 0:12:41.640
<v Speaker 2>when the Chargers were just trying to give the game

0:12:41.679 --> 0:12:45.000
<v Speaker 2>away repeatedly, the fact that it was thirteen to ten

0:12:45.080 --> 0:12:47.880
<v Speaker 2>in the fourth quarter and the Ravens seemed like they

0:12:47.880 --> 0:12:52.240
<v Speaker 2>were ripe to lose. Then the Rams game goes to overtime.

0:12:52.559 --> 0:12:55.679
<v Speaker 2>That was the worst defensive performance for the Ravens this year.

0:12:55.760 --> 0:12:59.240
<v Speaker 2>Their offense. Lamar was unbelievable in that game, and then

0:12:59.400 --> 0:13:04.560
<v Speaker 2>against in the Jags. The Jags could not have shot

0:13:04.600 --> 0:13:08.000
<v Speaker 2>themselves in the foot more. On every drive of the

0:13:08.000 --> 0:13:09.840
<v Speaker 2>first half, they move the ball, miss a field goal,

0:13:09.920 --> 0:13:11.559
<v Speaker 2>they move the ball, miss a field goal, they move

0:13:11.600 --> 0:13:13.839
<v Speaker 2>the ball, Trevor drops the ball, they move the ball,

0:13:13.880 --> 0:13:16.360
<v Speaker 2>they butcher the end of the half, and then despite

0:13:16.400 --> 0:13:19.680
<v Speaker 2>all that, it's ten to seven midway through the third

0:13:20.320 --> 0:13:25.760
<v Speaker 2>and takes a couple one in particular really great Lamar

0:13:25.880 --> 0:13:28.719
<v Speaker 2>Jackson plays for the Ravens to be able to get

0:13:28.720 --> 0:13:32.760
<v Speaker 2>some separation. So I understand both of these teams are

0:13:32.800 --> 0:13:36.960
<v Speaker 2>on winning streaks. The Niners winning streak, to me, has

0:13:37.080 --> 0:13:41.560
<v Speaker 2>been more convincing than the Ravens winning streak. So I

0:13:41.640 --> 0:13:44.480
<v Speaker 2>do like the Niners in this spot. But I am

0:13:44.640 --> 0:13:47.319
<v Speaker 2>very interested to see how Brock does against another one

0:13:47.320 --> 0:13:50.000
<v Speaker 2>of the league's best defenses. And I'm interested to see

0:13:50.000 --> 0:13:52.960
<v Speaker 2>how Christian McCaffrey does. But this is one of the

0:13:52.960 --> 0:13:55.400
<v Speaker 2>best games of the year. This is right now, the

0:13:55.440 --> 0:13:58.480
<v Speaker 2>one seed versus one seed. It is the super the

0:13:58.920 --> 0:14:07.520
<v Speaker 2>favorite Super Bowl matchup, and from a NFL intrigue perspective,

0:14:08.160 --> 0:14:12.800
<v Speaker 2>I would say this it's a bummer. If the Niners

0:14:12.960 --> 0:14:16.880
<v Speaker 2>blow out the Ravens. If the Niners just dog walk

0:14:16.960 --> 0:14:21.080
<v Speaker 2>the Ravens, They've already dog walked the Eagles, They've dogwalked

0:14:21.120 --> 0:14:26.880
<v Speaker 2>the Cowboys. If they annihilate the Ravens, then they're to

0:14:26.920 --> 0:14:30.280
<v Speaker 2>a degree to all. Let me tell you this much

0:14:30.360 --> 0:14:36.600
<v Speaker 2>right now, for neutral observers, or probably not neutral observers.

0:14:37.080 --> 0:14:40.520
<v Speaker 2>For people that don't want if the Niners crush the Ravens,

0:14:41.120 --> 0:14:43.800
<v Speaker 2>people that don't want the Niners to win the Super Bowl,

0:14:44.080 --> 0:14:46.240
<v Speaker 2>maybe you're a fan of a rival team or something,

0:14:46.520 --> 0:14:48.440
<v Speaker 2>you know who, they're all of a sudden gonna become

0:14:48.560 --> 0:14:51.800
<v Speaker 2>huge fans of the rest of the year the Chiefs.

0:14:52.520 --> 0:14:56.880
<v Speaker 2>If the Niners crush the Ravens, people are gonna the

0:14:56.920 --> 0:14:59.920
<v Speaker 2>only hope left for the league is gonna be that

0:15:00.080 --> 0:15:04.120
<v Speaker 2>the Chiefs offense starts clicking to go along with that defense.

0:15:04.200 --> 0:15:06.360
<v Speaker 2>It should be noted the only.

0:15:06.200 --> 0:15:11.520
<v Speaker 4>Thing can't the Chiefs can do it, given the way

0:15:11.560 --> 0:15:12.800
<v Speaker 4>the Chiefs season is gone.

0:15:12.840 --> 0:15:16.080
<v Speaker 2>But that's just me that well then so then it's nobody.

0:15:16.400 --> 0:15:20.040
<v Speaker 2>Well then it's nobody, demanse right, then then they'll just

0:15:20.040 --> 0:15:24.800
<v Speaker 2>think it's nobody, correct, I mean, if they've crushed the Cowboys.

0:15:24.800 --> 0:15:27.160
<v Speaker 2>They've crushed the Eagles, they've crushed the Ravens. I don't

0:15:27.160 --> 0:15:30.000
<v Speaker 2>know if there's anybody left and so, and maybe that's

0:15:30.040 --> 0:15:36.080
<v Speaker 2>the answer the oh yeah, Buffalo and so the the

0:15:36.280 --> 0:15:38.960
<v Speaker 2>other Oh, what I was trying to say was before

0:15:38.960 --> 0:15:44.840
<v Speaker 2>I was rudely interrupted, is that, uh, the only team

0:15:44.880 --> 0:15:48.960
<v Speaker 2>since the Niners got Christian McCaffrey, the only team to

0:15:49.120 --> 0:15:53.280
<v Speaker 2>beat them with a healthy McCaffrey, with like all of

0:15:53.320 --> 0:15:56.000
<v Speaker 2>their weapons in a game when the quarterback doesn't go

0:15:56.120 --> 0:15:59.760
<v Speaker 2>down was the Chiefs the first game they got McCaffrey.

0:16:00.120 --> 0:16:02.800
<v Speaker 2>When the Chiefs annihilated they've scored I think beat him

0:16:02.840 --> 0:16:05.560
<v Speaker 2>like forty two to thirty one or something early the

0:16:05.600 --> 0:16:10.600
<v Speaker 2>first game with McCaffrey last year. And so I think

0:16:10.640 --> 0:16:12.840
<v Speaker 2>it'll be a good game. I do think the Niners

0:16:12.880 --> 0:16:18.280
<v Speaker 2>will win. I think the Ravens, though, will equit themselves.

0:16:18.320 --> 0:16:18.640
<v Speaker 3>Well.

0:16:19.680 --> 0:16:23.760
<v Speaker 2>But this feels to me like the Ravens have been

0:16:23.800 --> 0:16:26.480
<v Speaker 2>flirting with the loss for a month and the Niners

0:16:26.520 --> 0:16:28.920
<v Speaker 2>have not been. So I like the Niners in this spot.

0:16:28.960 --> 0:16:30.720
<v Speaker 2>All right, next, all.

0:16:30.720 --> 0:16:31.560
<v Speaker 3>Right, fair enough.

0:16:31.920 --> 0:16:36.720
<v Speaker 4>Aaron Rodgers is officially activated off injured reserve, but he's

0:16:36.760 --> 0:16:39.640
<v Speaker 4>not gonna be playing he's just gotten taken off of IR.

0:16:40.640 --> 0:16:43.000
<v Speaker 4>He just wants to build up chemistry with his teammates

0:16:43.000 --> 0:16:46.040
<v Speaker 4>while he's healing his achilles. Do you think this is

0:16:46.080 --> 0:16:48.960
<v Speaker 4>the last stunt by Aaron Rodgers in twenty twenty three,

0:16:49.080 --> 0:16:50.600
<v Speaker 4>or we're gonna hear from him again.

0:16:52.000 --> 0:16:54.200
<v Speaker 2>Well, we got ten days left, so I assume we'll

0:16:54.240 --> 0:17:00.000
<v Speaker 2>hear from him again. By the way, I've said enough

0:17:00.040 --> 0:17:04.760
<v Speaker 2>about Aaron. I've been right at every turn, and this

0:17:04.840 --> 0:17:07.399
<v Speaker 2>isn't even a classic category two opinion. This is a

0:17:07.440 --> 0:17:10.280
<v Speaker 2>category one opinion. I was instantly correct, and I've been

0:17:10.280 --> 0:17:14.800
<v Speaker 2>correct every step of the way. It was one thing.

0:17:15.359 --> 0:17:18.680
<v Speaker 2>This is more a media commentary. It was one thing

0:17:18.880 --> 0:17:25.639
<v Speaker 2>for a lot of my colleagues to be credulous about

0:17:25.680 --> 0:17:27.760
<v Speaker 2>this idea that he was going to play this year.

0:17:28.800 --> 0:17:34.080
<v Speaker 2>It was, on its face ludicrous. You know. Shout out

0:17:34.119 --> 0:17:38.840
<v Speaker 2>while I criticize other media members, shout out to Melissa

0:17:39.000 --> 0:17:44.679
<v Speaker 2>Stark and Sunday Night Football for not being credulous, because,

0:17:44.720 --> 0:17:50.800
<v Speaker 2>if you remember Week ten, he told Melissa Stark his

0:17:50.960 --> 0:17:53.800
<v Speaker 2>plan was to come back in mid December to be

0:17:53.880 --> 0:17:58.639
<v Speaker 2>able to play, and NBC had that information and did

0:17:58.720 --> 0:18:01.440
<v Speaker 2>not lead the show with it. It did not act

0:18:01.520 --> 0:18:04.840
<v Speaker 2>like it was a breaking news revelation and they just

0:18:04.960 --> 0:18:08.920
<v Speaker 2>kind of as a as an aside, set it mid

0:18:09.080 --> 0:18:13.480
<v Speaker 2>second quarter of the game because they knew this is nonsense.

0:18:14.000 --> 0:18:19.080
<v Speaker 2>I wish some other local and national media had taken

0:18:19.119 --> 0:18:22.200
<v Speaker 2>it as nonsense. I'm sure Jets fans wish the front

0:18:22.240 --> 0:18:25.159
<v Speaker 2>office had taken it as nonsense, and then maybe they

0:18:25.160 --> 0:18:29.919
<v Speaker 2>would have signed an actual backup quarterback rather than playcating Rogers' ego.

0:18:30.480 --> 0:18:34.280
<v Speaker 2>But set all that aside. What has been even more

0:18:35.600 --> 0:18:39.720
<v Speaker 2>maddening is in the last forty eight hours, I've got

0:18:39.720 --> 0:18:43.679
<v Speaker 2>to listen to Ian Rapaport go on NFL Network and say, well, listen, guys,

0:18:44.200 --> 0:18:47.600
<v Speaker 2>Aaron Rodgers did it. He accomplished what he said he

0:18:47.680 --> 0:18:51.639
<v Speaker 2>was going to do. No, he bleeping didn't. And the

0:18:51.760 --> 0:18:56.720
<v Speaker 2>idea that we are now going to say, oh, unprecedented

0:18:56.760 --> 0:19:01.000
<v Speaker 2>recovery based on what you don't think there have been

0:19:01.080 --> 0:19:05.360
<v Speaker 2>other people who popped their achilles, who if they wanted

0:19:05.400 --> 0:19:08.679
<v Speaker 2>to for a dog and pony show, take off the

0:19:08.720 --> 0:19:13.080
<v Speaker 2>walking boot early and put on a specialized shoe. They

0:19:13.119 --> 0:19:16.160
<v Speaker 2>could do it. Of course they could. Now if they

0:19:16.200 --> 0:19:19.959
<v Speaker 2>did it, their doctor would in say what are you doing?

0:19:20.359 --> 0:19:23.440
<v Speaker 2>But they could do it. You don't think there are

0:19:23.520 --> 0:19:26.720
<v Speaker 2>other people that for three and a half months in

0:19:27.320 --> 0:19:33.280
<v Speaker 2>could cose play backup quarterback at practice. Of course they could,

0:19:33.560 --> 0:19:37.560
<v Speaker 2>but it would be ridiculous to no positive end and

0:19:37.720 --> 0:19:39.560
<v Speaker 2>just to be like, look at me, look at me.

0:19:40.400 --> 0:19:45.680
<v Speaker 2>And it is the fact that now the Jets this morning, demons,

0:19:46.240 --> 0:19:50.560
<v Speaker 2>the Jets had to cut a player, cut him. We

0:19:50.600 --> 0:19:55.359
<v Speaker 2>have fifty three roster spots. Aaron saking on your cut. Yes,

0:19:56.200 --> 0:19:58.679
<v Speaker 2>they had to cut a guy. Now they already the

0:19:58.720 --> 0:20:00.720
<v Speaker 2>media is cleaning this up. Aaron like, oh, he was

0:20:00.760 --> 0:20:03.760
<v Speaker 2>a vested veteran, so he still gets paid. Great. They

0:20:03.800 --> 0:20:06.240
<v Speaker 2>saw it to cut him, they had to move him down.

0:20:06.280 --> 0:20:09.040
<v Speaker 2>He will then revert to practice squad, which then you

0:20:09.080 --> 0:20:11.640
<v Speaker 2>know what that means, someone on the practice squad gets

0:20:11.640 --> 0:20:17.640
<v Speaker 2>cut in service of Aaron Rodgers ego. This would this

0:20:17.680 --> 0:20:21.280
<v Speaker 2>would be like if at Blue Duck, who produces this show,

0:20:22.080 --> 0:20:25.639
<v Speaker 2>I was like, Hey, I'm sorry, Kara, You've got to

0:20:25.720 --> 0:20:30.359
<v Speaker 2>go because my imaginary friend needs that seat. It's like huh,

0:20:30.480 --> 0:20:34.080
<v Speaker 2>like no, sorry, like no, that seat is taken up

0:20:34.119 --> 0:20:37.920
<v Speaker 2>by but it's important to me. My imaginary friend's gonna

0:20:37.960 --> 0:20:40.760
<v Speaker 2>take it. And she's just standing out in the hallway

0:20:40.960 --> 0:20:43.000
<v Speaker 2>because they're like, Ah, we don't want to upset Nick.

0:20:43.600 --> 0:20:48.480
<v Speaker 2>It's so outrageous. It's just such an im and I

0:20:48.520 --> 0:20:52.480
<v Speaker 2>cannot believe there are not Nora Princiati called him out

0:20:52.520 --> 0:20:55.439
<v Speaker 2>on it. I've called him out on it a few others.

0:20:55.480 --> 0:20:58.280
<v Speaker 2>There have been others, but the some of the real

0:20:58.480 --> 0:21:03.119
<v Speaker 2>taste makers in national football media are like, man, bravo Aaron.

0:21:03.359 --> 0:21:05.480
<v Speaker 2>And I will say this now for the second time.

0:21:06.640 --> 0:21:14.040
<v Speaker 2>And people think I think mistakenly that a lot of

0:21:14.040 --> 0:21:18.520
<v Speaker 2>my annoyance with Aaron Rodgers is because of his stance

0:21:18.560 --> 0:21:21.679
<v Speaker 2>on the vaccine. That is not it. People can have

0:21:21.720 --> 0:21:25.840
<v Speaker 2>whatever stance they want on vaccines. The I am I'm

0:21:25.840 --> 0:21:29.199
<v Speaker 2>not trying to have that argument right now. The what

0:21:29.359 --> 0:21:30.160
<v Speaker 2>surprises you.

0:21:30.440 --> 0:21:33.800
<v Speaker 4>That surprises me that you're not like, like on his

0:21:33.880 --> 0:21:36.000
<v Speaker 4>tail because it's like a bit. That's not a big

0:21:36.040 --> 0:21:37.840
<v Speaker 4>part of you being annoyed with him.

0:21:38.040 --> 0:21:39.000
<v Speaker 3>It's like him acting.

0:21:39.119 --> 0:21:42.200
<v Speaker 4>That's he's also promoting other people to not get the vaccine.

0:21:43.040 --> 0:21:50.080
<v Speaker 2>Well, so listen again, that is that isn't a separate bucket.

0:21:51.000 --> 0:21:57.520
<v Speaker 2>I can, I can. We can have that discussion. We

0:21:57.640 --> 0:22:01.560
<v Speaker 2>can have that discussion at a later date or in

0:22:01.600 --> 0:22:05.240
<v Speaker 2>a different format. Here is though, what everyone should agree

0:22:05.280 --> 0:22:13.280
<v Speaker 2>with Aaron on the vaccine note three years ago said

0:22:14.000 --> 0:22:17.520
<v Speaker 2>after you know, misleading everyone and being disingenuous about it, Guys,

0:22:18.520 --> 0:22:25.920
<v Speaker 2>I found an alternative to the vaccine, same immunization, none

0:22:26.000 --> 0:22:30.280
<v Speaker 2>of the downstream effects that he felt the vaccine had. Right,

0:22:30.359 --> 0:22:33.639
<v Speaker 2>That's what he told us. Okay, we now since then

0:22:33.800 --> 0:22:40.280
<v Speaker 2>have learned he considers Big Pharma an evil entity, is

0:22:40.520 --> 0:22:45.480
<v Speaker 2>you know, challenging Fauci, debate, me bro all this stuff. Meanwhile,

0:22:46.200 --> 0:22:50.639
<v Speaker 2>so he clearly believes that at least this specific vaccine

0:22:50.760 --> 0:22:54.879
<v Speaker 2>was really bad and there was another way to go

0:22:55.000 --> 0:22:58.480
<v Speaker 2>about immunity, safety and health. That's what he told us.

0:22:59.640 --> 0:23:02.000
<v Speaker 2>Then why have you not told everyone what it is?

0:23:03.480 --> 0:23:07.400
<v Speaker 2>If I thought that everyone would that millions of people

0:23:08.000 --> 0:23:11.359
<v Speaker 2>were doing something terrible for them, and I had an

0:23:11.400 --> 0:23:15.760
<v Speaker 2>alternative that was better, and I might do one hour

0:23:15.880 --> 0:23:19.679
<v Speaker 2>interviews every week millions of people watch, you know what

0:23:19.760 --> 0:23:24.000
<v Speaker 2>I might do share the data. I might be like, hey, guys,

0:23:24.440 --> 0:23:30.080
<v Speaker 2>here's the thing. Here's what you do. You smoke some peyote,

0:23:30.560 --> 0:23:33.600
<v Speaker 2>you grind up a sugar pill, you rub it on

0:23:33.640 --> 0:23:36.080
<v Speaker 2>your forehead, you pray to the god, and this is

0:23:36.080 --> 0:23:38.960
<v Speaker 2>what you do here. It worked for me. Let me,

0:23:39.040 --> 0:23:41.520
<v Speaker 2>let it work for you. So that's the first thing.

0:23:42.000 --> 0:23:49.480
<v Speaker 2>Now the second time he pedaled, I solved Achilles injuries. Well,

0:23:49.480 --> 0:23:52.720
<v Speaker 2>I bet Kirk Cousins would like to know what you did.

0:23:55.560 --> 0:23:59.400
<v Speaker 2>Poor guy's gonna be limping around Christmas morning, all those

0:23:59.440 --> 0:24:03.160
<v Speaker 2>wonderful into his like, I mean, give me a break.

0:24:08.040 --> 0:24:10.480
<v Speaker 2>It's just so dumb and and we got all these

0:24:10.520 --> 0:24:14.080
<v Speaker 2>people who are like, man, he if the Jets. It

0:24:14.200 --> 0:24:21.800
<v Speaker 2>was a massive discussion on every sports TV show for weeks.

0:24:22.720 --> 0:24:26.320
<v Speaker 2>Looking this is segments that were done. They would put

0:24:26.400 --> 0:24:29.800
<v Speaker 2>up the Jets schedule and they would say, well, if

0:24:29.840 --> 0:24:34.680
<v Speaker 2>they can win this game in this game, then week sixteen,

0:24:35.760 --> 0:24:38.800
<v Speaker 2>that's Aaron Rodgers target date. If they could just be

0:24:39.080 --> 0:24:42.280
<v Speaker 2>seven and seven, he could be back for the playoff.

0:24:42.560 --> 0:24:47.280
<v Speaker 2>People were having these discussions. They were being credulous about

0:24:47.320 --> 0:24:51.280
<v Speaker 2>the idea that Aaron Rodgers at forty years old, was

0:24:51.320 --> 0:24:56.520
<v Speaker 2>gonna play tackle football this year. And then three weeks ago,

0:24:57.080 --> 0:25:00.800
<v Speaker 2>as a birthday present to the guy, they they started

0:25:00.800 --> 0:25:05.240
<v Speaker 2>and opened his practice window and we saw the video

0:25:05.400 --> 0:25:08.359
<v Speaker 2>of him at practice and the quarterbacks are doing jumping

0:25:08.440 --> 0:25:12.240
<v Speaker 2>jacks and Aaron's like, you know, lightly bobbing on his

0:25:12.320 --> 0:25:16.640
<v Speaker 2>knees and then guys are jogging and Aaron is thirty

0:25:16.640 --> 0:25:21.679
<v Speaker 2>five paces behind him, and it's like, but in fifteen

0:25:21.800 --> 0:25:24.919
<v Speaker 2>days he's gonna be trying to elude Miles Garrett. The

0:25:25.000 --> 0:25:32.800
<v Speaker 2>whole thing was so dumb, and I just I and

0:25:32.840 --> 0:25:36.960
<v Speaker 2>people are like, I mean, this is all from the

0:25:37.040 --> 0:25:41.160
<v Speaker 2>same studio that gave us. I wasn't ducking your calls.

0:25:41.600 --> 0:25:44.800
<v Speaker 2>Everyone knows I don't have phone service where I live.

0:25:44.880 --> 0:25:48.199
<v Speaker 2>You have to FaceTime me from the same studio that

0:25:48.280 --> 0:25:52.160
<v Speaker 2>gave us. How dare you say I gave the Jets

0:25:52.359 --> 0:25:56.359
<v Speaker 2>an offseason wish list? I never would. Meanwhile, they signed

0:25:56.440 --> 0:25:59.680
<v Speaker 2>Randall Cobb, Alan Lazard, hired your bff to be there

0:25:59.680 --> 0:26:02.520
<v Speaker 2>offen of coordinator, and Tim Boils their third string quarterback.

0:26:02.760 --> 0:26:07.640
<v Speaker 2>Like the guy just such phony nonsense, And I and

0:26:07.800 --> 0:26:12.119
<v Speaker 2>I it is I don't know who what people are like,

0:26:12.880 --> 0:26:16.080
<v Speaker 2>uh the I don't understand and maybe I'm missing it.

0:26:16.480 --> 0:26:18.760
<v Speaker 2>Maybe this Bill's gonna come doe for me. Maybe I'm

0:26:18.760 --> 0:26:24.720
<v Speaker 2>gonna find out that, uh there there's power wielded that

0:26:24.800 --> 0:26:28.720
<v Speaker 2>I was unaware of. But everyone knows it, and so

0:26:28.880 --> 0:26:32.520
<v Speaker 2>few of us are just actively calling it out. The

0:26:32.680 --> 0:26:37.520
<v Speaker 2>same guy who had the audacity to call to go

0:26:37.600 --> 0:26:41.720
<v Speaker 2>after Kelsey, call him mister Pfizer when he works for

0:26:41.840 --> 0:26:46.760
<v Speaker 2>the air of the Johnson and Johnson fortune, and it's like,

0:26:46.920 --> 0:26:52.000
<v Speaker 2>what are we talking about this guy? Now? I gotta

0:26:52.080 --> 0:26:53.840
<v Speaker 2>hear how he accomplished his goal.

0:26:54.600 --> 0:26:58.080
<v Speaker 4>This is probably his version of Draymond's like antic s kidding,

0:26:58.200 --> 0:27:02.200
<v Speaker 4>all hyper aggressive and the choke holds. Oh, he's getting old,

0:27:02.320 --> 0:27:04.480
<v Speaker 4>running out of sauce new tactics.

0:27:05.440 --> 0:27:06.439
<v Speaker 2>Well, that feel like that.

0:27:06.440 --> 0:27:08.119
<v Speaker 4>I feel like he's always kind of been like this,

0:27:08.200 --> 0:27:10.600
<v Speaker 4>but it's just more extreme these days.

0:27:10.960 --> 0:27:13.640
<v Speaker 2>Well, and here's the other thing. If you're a Jets fan,

0:27:13.800 --> 0:27:16.879
<v Speaker 2>God love you. I read the rich so Mini article

0:27:16.960 --> 0:27:19.919
<v Speaker 2>this week. This morning, it's like questions for the Jets.

0:27:19.920 --> 0:27:23.960
<v Speaker 2>The first one was should they bring back sala and Douglas. Well,

0:27:24.000 --> 0:27:26.600
<v Speaker 2>Douglas is twenty five and fifty five as a GM.

0:27:26.920 --> 0:27:30.359
<v Speaker 2>Salas sixteen and thirty two is a head coach. Obviously

0:27:30.400 --> 0:27:32.680
<v Speaker 2>the answer is no. But then it's like, but Aaron

0:27:32.840 --> 0:27:35.160
<v Speaker 2>likes them, Well, then I guess you gotta bring him back.

0:27:35.240 --> 0:27:37.879
<v Speaker 2>The next question was should they bring back Nat Hackett.

0:27:37.920 --> 0:27:41.760
<v Speaker 2>They're like, well, the Jets offense has scored thirteen touchdowns,

0:27:41.800 --> 0:27:45.200
<v Speaker 2>they've played fourteen games. They probably shouldn't bring him back,

0:27:45.440 --> 0:27:49.040
<v Speaker 2>but it would upset Aaron Rodgers. They are doing all

0:27:49.080 --> 0:27:55.200
<v Speaker 2>of this as if they have heat era Lebron James

0:27:55.800 --> 0:27:58.840
<v Speaker 2>as there as the guy. It's like, man might piss

0:27:58.960 --> 0:28:01.040
<v Speaker 2>him off, but like, what are we gonna do. He's

0:28:01.119 --> 0:28:05.520
<v Speaker 2>a guy who this year, the last time in the

0:28:05.600 --> 0:28:10.280
<v Speaker 2>last two seasons, the best Packer quarterback play we've seen

0:28:10.560 --> 0:28:13.639
<v Speaker 2>has come from Jordan Love and they're doing it for

0:28:13.720 --> 0:28:16.000
<v Speaker 2>the soon to be forty one year old Aaron Rodgers.

0:28:16.119 --> 0:28:22.919
<v Speaker 2>Get out of here, all right, well, welcome back in.

0:28:22.960 --> 0:28:24.919
<v Speaker 2>We'll driving the card episode two or two or do

0:28:25.000 --> 0:28:28.520
<v Speaker 2>our picks in about ten minutes. But first, Demons, we

0:28:28.640 --> 0:28:31.320
<v Speaker 2>got a Shaq and Steph conversation, and then we're gonna

0:28:31.320 --> 0:28:34.639
<v Speaker 2>play a quick holiday game. Go right ahead.

0:28:35.119 --> 0:28:37.400
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, So Steph hit a game winning three in overtime

0:28:37.520 --> 0:28:42.479
<v Speaker 4>versus my Celtics, obviously, and Shack says that Steph Curry

0:28:42.640 --> 0:28:45.840
<v Speaker 4>belongs in the goat conversation. Now we already know who

0:28:45.880 --> 0:28:47.720
<v Speaker 4>your goat is, but where do you think that Steph

0:28:47.720 --> 0:28:49.800
<v Speaker 4>Curry lines up as in the goat debate?

0:28:51.240 --> 0:28:55.200
<v Speaker 2>He's not in it. No, he's not in it. No

0:28:55.280 --> 0:28:58.320
<v Speaker 2>I mean, but this is why, like I love Shack,

0:28:58.760 --> 0:29:01.040
<v Speaker 2>and Shack also said he was like, He's like, STEP's

0:29:01.080 --> 0:29:04.960
<v Speaker 2>better than I was. We can have that discussion. Obviously

0:29:05.080 --> 0:29:07.280
<v Speaker 2>couldn't find two more different players, but like in all

0:29:07.320 --> 0:29:10.280
<v Speaker 2>time rankings, we can have that discussion. Shack is very

0:29:10.440 --> 0:29:14.960
<v Speaker 2>generous of spirit when it comes to like other legendary

0:29:15.080 --> 0:29:18.600
<v Speaker 2>players versus him. Yeah, the only guy he always tries

0:29:18.640 --> 0:29:22.240
<v Speaker 2>to tear down is Barkley and other modern and modern centers.

0:29:22.560 --> 0:29:26.120
<v Speaker 2>Modern centers and Barkley he tries to tear down. But

0:29:26.800 --> 0:29:29.880
<v Speaker 2>all the other guys, like the legends before him and

0:29:29.920 --> 0:29:33.040
<v Speaker 2>the current legends, he's great about. But the goat conversation

0:29:33.160 --> 0:29:38.000
<v Speaker 2>he's not in. It is just not there is So

0:29:40.160 --> 0:29:41.360
<v Speaker 2>I don't want to spend a ton of time on

0:29:41.400 --> 0:29:45.360
<v Speaker 2>this because the problem with doing this is.

0:29:46.160 --> 0:29:49.960
<v Speaker 3>Well, I guess that's a different.

0:29:51.400 --> 0:29:55.200
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, yeah, definitely. Yeah, he's the greatest shooter of all time,

0:29:55.440 --> 0:30:01.120
<v Speaker 2>and he might be the best ball handler of all time. Kyrie, uh,

0:30:01.720 --> 0:30:06.360
<v Speaker 2>Pistol Pete actually are in that discussion. His godfather Rod

0:30:06.400 --> 0:30:08.240
<v Speaker 2>Strickland not quite to that level, but.

0:30:08.400 --> 0:30:09.520
<v Speaker 3>Is not there.

0:30:09.560 --> 0:30:14.520
<v Speaker 2>Oh, now, Magic's the greatest passer of all time, right,

0:30:14.640 --> 0:30:18.520
<v Speaker 2>you know what I mean? And so there, but Magic,

0:30:18.640 --> 0:30:22.800
<v Speaker 2>I mean Magic's Lebron's size. Magic was a great ball

0:30:22.840 --> 0:30:25.720
<v Speaker 2>handler for his size. But no, no, no, I think I

0:30:25.760 --> 0:30:28.120
<v Speaker 2>think Steph and Kyrie are the two best ball handlers

0:30:28.120 --> 0:30:33.040
<v Speaker 2>I've ever seen. But the problem with doing this is

0:30:33.200 --> 0:30:36.680
<v Speaker 2>we then end up tearing a guy down. If you say,

0:30:37.200 --> 0:30:42.120
<v Speaker 2>if you say, let me demons, what's up? What's up?

0:30:42.320 --> 0:30:45.480
<v Speaker 2>I'm gonna this is a terrible analogy. I apologize. What's

0:30:45.480 --> 0:30:48.920
<v Speaker 2>a food you like? Like that you every time you

0:30:48.960 --> 0:30:51.800
<v Speaker 2>eat it, you enjoy it. But it's not just something

0:30:51.800 --> 0:30:53.000
<v Speaker 2>you like, like, ah, that's good.

0:30:54.760 --> 0:30:59.840
<v Speaker 3>Uh, burger from in and Out? All right, Okay, that's good.

0:31:00.040 --> 0:31:04.080
<v Speaker 2>That's good. Okay, So you enjoy that, you like that.

0:31:04.200 --> 0:31:06.680
<v Speaker 2>When you have it, you're happy. But if I were

0:31:06.720 --> 0:31:09.680
<v Speaker 2>to say the burger from in and Out is the

0:31:09.720 --> 0:31:13.400
<v Speaker 2>single greatest food in the world, you would then end

0:31:13.480 --> 0:31:16.800
<v Speaker 2>up spending time talking about why it's not. You would

0:31:16.840 --> 0:31:18.680
<v Speaker 2>be like, well, no it doesn't. It's not as good

0:31:18.720 --> 0:31:21.280
<v Speaker 2>as this, is not as that, and now something you like,

0:31:21.680 --> 0:31:24.600
<v Speaker 2>you're actually spending your time and energy. So the problem

0:31:25.000 --> 0:31:32.280
<v Speaker 2>overrating guys is actually, by accident, the most disrespectful thing

0:31:32.320 --> 0:31:35.840
<v Speaker 2>you can do to them, and underrating them is kind

0:31:35.880 --> 0:31:40.200
<v Speaker 2>of the nicest because if Shaq had said Steph Curry

0:31:40.960 --> 0:31:44.400
<v Speaker 2>not one of the twenty five best players ever, guess

0:31:44.440 --> 0:31:46.640
<v Speaker 2>what we would have spent the last couple of days

0:31:46.640 --> 0:31:50.200
<v Speaker 2>doing talking about how awesome he is. But instead, if

0:31:50.200 --> 0:31:53.640
<v Speaker 2>you like Steph Curry greatest player ever, maybe what do

0:31:53.680 --> 0:31:55.960
<v Speaker 2>we spend the last couple of days doing talking about

0:31:56.000 --> 0:32:01.120
<v Speaker 2>why he's not? And so, the and the the reality

0:32:01.200 --> 0:32:05.840
<v Speaker 2>is this, The goat conversation in the NBA is three

0:32:05.920 --> 0:32:10.520
<v Speaker 2>people wide. It's Lebron, Michael and Kareem. Those are the

0:32:10.600 --> 0:32:16.160
<v Speaker 2>three people eligible for the conversation with If you want

0:32:16.160 --> 0:32:21.880
<v Speaker 2>to expand it to include Bill Russell, you can be.

0:32:22.280 --> 0:32:25.840
<v Speaker 2>But it does feel like that's almost a different conversation.

0:32:26.880 --> 0:32:32.680
<v Speaker 2>But then after that, that next group of the greatest

0:32:32.720 --> 0:32:36.880
<v Speaker 2>players ever that has Magic, that has Kobe, that has Bird,

0:32:36.920 --> 0:32:41.440
<v Speaker 2>that has Duncan, that has Wilt, that has Shack, that

0:32:41.520 --> 0:32:46.800
<v Speaker 2>has a Cheam, that has Steph, that that is Bird.

0:32:46.840 --> 0:32:50.640
<v Speaker 2>If I didn't mention him in that group, you can

0:32:50.720 --> 0:32:55.440
<v Speaker 2>make an argument for Steph against any of them. Now,

0:32:56.160 --> 0:32:59.240
<v Speaker 2>I don't have him ahead of any of those guys

0:32:59.280 --> 0:33:03.600
<v Speaker 2>I just listed. I don't, But if someone were like

0:33:04.240 --> 0:33:08.080
<v Speaker 2>Steph Curry was better than Shack or Steph Curry is

0:33:08.160 --> 0:33:10.720
<v Speaker 2>better than a chem or Steph Curry was better than

0:33:10.800 --> 0:33:15.920
<v Speaker 2>Larry Bird. You can at least craft the argument. I

0:33:15.960 --> 0:33:19.200
<v Speaker 2>know people started to have the Steph versus Magic argument.

0:33:19.800 --> 0:33:24.440
<v Speaker 2>I I don't think that one is actually all that close,

0:33:25.640 --> 0:33:33.400
<v Speaker 2>but I can listen to it. But that's the apex

0:33:33.440 --> 0:33:37.880
<v Speaker 2>of where it's listenable. Like you can, if that makes sense,

0:33:38.240 --> 0:33:43.640
<v Speaker 2>the just like I think, you can, at least without

0:33:43.680 --> 0:33:48.360
<v Speaker 2>making a fool of yourself, make the Steph was better

0:33:48.400 --> 0:33:52.040
<v Speaker 2>than Kobe argument. You can. I disagree with it, but

0:33:52.120 --> 0:33:55.080
<v Speaker 2>you can make it. You can make the Steph was

0:33:55.120 --> 0:33:57.120
<v Speaker 2>better than Duncan argument. I disagree with it, but you

0:33:57.120 --> 0:34:00.200
<v Speaker 2>can make it. You can even squint hard enough to

0:34:00.360 --> 0:34:03.360
<v Speaker 2>make this step was better than Magic argument. Who I

0:34:03.400 --> 0:34:06.080
<v Speaker 2>believe is the fourth gradest player ever. But that's where

0:34:06.120 --> 0:34:10.399
<v Speaker 2>it ends. So the absolute top of where he can

0:34:10.480 --> 0:34:15.640
<v Speaker 2>get to from a credible argument standpoint is fourth. I

0:34:15.640 --> 0:34:18.960
<v Speaker 2>think he's more like eleventh, but it would be fourth

0:34:19.480 --> 0:34:22.440
<v Speaker 2>and the absolute bottom if you do the opposite of it,

0:34:23.040 --> 0:34:26.600
<v Speaker 2>every guy who has a credible argument is better than him,

0:34:26.640 --> 0:34:31.759
<v Speaker 2>give it to him. So that would mean magic other

0:34:31.800 --> 0:34:34.160
<v Speaker 2>than your top three that I've already said. Right, So

0:34:34.600 --> 0:34:38.160
<v Speaker 2>obviously you have lebron Kareem Michael, and then I'm not

0:34:38.200 --> 0:34:40.279
<v Speaker 2>gonna do order, but I'm gonna do the guys. I'm

0:34:40.360 --> 0:34:41.399
<v Speaker 2>trying to do him off the top of my head.

0:34:41.400 --> 0:34:43.320
<v Speaker 2>If I say, if I'm missing anyone obvious, say it

0:34:43.320 --> 0:34:46.399
<v Speaker 2>in my ear. But you would then have You would

0:34:46.440 --> 0:34:48.960
<v Speaker 2>have Magic, You would have Russell, you would have Wilt,

0:34:49.200 --> 0:34:52.479
<v Speaker 2>you would have Duncan, you would have Kobe, you would

0:34:52.520 --> 0:34:55.480
<v Speaker 2>have Bird, you would have a chem you would have Shack,

0:34:57.160 --> 0:35:01.920
<v Speaker 2>you would have Moses, you would have Doctor J. You

0:35:01.960 --> 0:35:04.600
<v Speaker 2>would have and again I have Steph ahead of Moses

0:35:04.600 --> 0:35:06.919
<v Speaker 2>and Doctor J. But I'm just trying to You would

0:35:06.920 --> 0:35:12.120
<v Speaker 2>have Isaiah Thomas, you would have Kevin Durant. Am I

0:35:12.200 --> 0:35:14.480
<v Speaker 2>leaving anybody out? I hope I'm not. I think I

0:35:14.560 --> 0:35:18.040
<v Speaker 2>listed all all. So that's fifteen. Go ahead, Daniel or anybody.

0:35:18.040 --> 0:35:22.560
<v Speaker 2>If you think I'm leaving out somebody obvious, Yannis and

0:35:22.680 --> 0:35:25.320
<v Speaker 2>Jokicic would be guys. At some point, you know what

0:35:25.400 --> 0:35:27.840
<v Speaker 2>I mean that you would anticipate moving into that realm.

0:35:27.880 --> 0:35:31.759
<v Speaker 2>Not there yet. So here's the point I'm making. You

0:35:32.600 --> 0:35:38.400
<v Speaker 2>cannot have an intelligent conversation about Steph Curry's all time

0:35:38.520 --> 0:35:45.680
<v Speaker 2>ranking and have him lower than sixteen or higher than four.

0:35:47.040 --> 0:35:54.600
<v Speaker 2>Anywhere from four to sixteen. You can make a semi

0:35:54.760 --> 0:35:59.719
<v Speaker 2>to wholly credible case for anywhere out lower than that.

0:36:00.840 --> 0:36:03.160
<v Speaker 2>If all of a sudden you're like d Wade was better,

0:36:03.320 --> 0:36:05.919
<v Speaker 2>Dirk was better, because those are the Barkley was better.

0:36:05.960 --> 0:36:07.880
<v Speaker 2>Those are the guys in the next kind of grouping,

0:36:09.640 --> 0:36:14.960
<v Speaker 2>you sound ridiculous. And anywhere above I think above six

0:36:15.040 --> 0:36:18.319
<v Speaker 2>you probably sound semi ridiculous, but you at least can

0:36:18.400 --> 0:36:21.400
<v Speaker 2>craft the argument of Steph versus magic. You can craft it.

0:36:21.680 --> 0:36:25.200
<v Speaker 2>But anywhere above that you sound ridiculous. So he has

0:36:25.320 --> 0:36:30.200
<v Speaker 2>to be if you want to seriously taken ranking somewhere

0:36:30.200 --> 0:36:35.760
<v Speaker 2>from four to sixteen all time in the pantheon, I don't.

0:36:35.800 --> 0:36:39.720
<v Speaker 2>And so anything lower you're gonna sound like a total hater,

0:36:40.160 --> 0:36:43.200
<v Speaker 2>and anything higher you're being ridiculous. All right, let's play

0:36:43.239 --> 0:36:47.560
<v Speaker 2>the game naughty or nice? Go ahead? All right, we

0:36:47.560 --> 0:36:50.360
<v Speaker 2>haven't played this game like that graphic go ahead.

0:36:50.320 --> 0:36:53.080
<v Speaker 4>Kind of looks like Adam Sandler, but we haven't played

0:36:53.080 --> 0:36:53.879
<v Speaker 4>this game in a year.

0:36:55.000 --> 0:36:57.160
<v Speaker 3>We're bringing it back. Yeah, my bad.

0:36:58.680 --> 0:37:02.640
<v Speaker 4>So we're playing, and we'll give you an couple examples.

0:37:02.640 --> 0:37:04.759
<v Speaker 4>A naughty and a nice one. So the NBA has

0:37:04.800 --> 0:37:08.279
<v Speaker 4>given US Celtics versus Lakers on Christmas Day, we'd call

0:37:08.360 --> 0:37:11.080
<v Speaker 4>that a nice category. And the NFL is giving US

0:37:11.080 --> 0:37:14.319
<v Speaker 4>Broncos versus the Patriots on Christmas Eve, we would call

0:37:14.400 --> 0:37:14.960
<v Speaker 4>that naughty.

0:37:16.160 --> 0:37:19.840
<v Speaker 2>Disagree. I actually think that's quite nice. It's a total

0:37:20.000 --> 0:37:26.800
<v Speaker 2>non watch Christmas even Yeah, exactly, exactly right. I actually

0:37:26.800 --> 0:37:29.560
<v Speaker 2>think it's quite naughty that the NFL is giving US

0:37:30.960 --> 0:37:34.960
<v Speaker 2>Niners Ravens on Christmas Day one of the best games

0:37:34.960 --> 0:37:40.239
<v Speaker 2>of the year. On Christmas Day, Chiefs Raiders. Also, I

0:37:40.280 --> 0:37:44.319
<v Speaker 2>think it's a I I really think the NFL putting

0:37:44.360 --> 0:37:47.040
<v Speaker 2>a one pm game on Christmas Day one BM East

0:37:47.040 --> 0:37:50.239
<v Speaker 2>Coast time, involving a West Coast team, which means you're

0:37:50.239 --> 0:37:54.520
<v Speaker 2>a diehard Raider fan ten am Christmas Morning, your team's playing.

0:37:55.080 --> 0:37:56.799
<v Speaker 2>I don't love it. I don't love it all right,

0:37:56.800 --> 0:37:57.280
<v Speaker 2>but go ahead.

0:37:57.360 --> 0:37:59.000
<v Speaker 3>Christmas music probably won't be going.

0:37:59.080 --> 0:38:02.799
<v Speaker 4>But first off, Mike Tomlin, Pittsburgh fans are starting to

0:38:02.800 --> 0:38:05.400
<v Speaker 4>get impatient with the Super Bowl winning coach Mike Tomlin,

0:38:05.800 --> 0:38:07.960
<v Speaker 4>who can't seem to figure out the offensive side of

0:38:07.960 --> 0:38:08.480
<v Speaker 4>the football.

0:38:08.520 --> 0:38:11.120
<v Speaker 3>Since Big Ben Prime's prime ended.

0:38:11.440 --> 0:38:14.680
<v Speaker 4>Would Pittsburgh moving on from Mike Tomlin be naughty or nice?

0:38:16.719 --> 0:38:20.800
<v Speaker 2>I think naughty. Listen. I think Mike Tomlin's still a really,

0:38:20.840 --> 0:38:22.480
<v Speaker 2>really good coach. They haven't been able to get the

0:38:22.520 --> 0:38:26.880
<v Speaker 2>quarterback situation right and that's killed him. But I think

0:38:26.920 --> 0:38:29.239
<v Speaker 2>that I understand if they do it, I think it

0:38:29.239 --> 0:38:30.120
<v Speaker 2>would be a mistake.

0:38:30.239 --> 0:38:35.080
<v Speaker 4>Next, the NBA has always owned Christmas Day, but now

0:38:35.120 --> 0:38:38.000
<v Speaker 4>the NFL has taken over again. On one hand, it's

0:38:38.120 --> 0:38:40.799
<v Speaker 4>nice for NFL fans, but on the other football is

0:38:40.800 --> 0:38:43.880
<v Speaker 4>getting greedy during the holiday season. Is the NFL And

0:38:44.560 --> 0:38:47.200
<v Speaker 4>is the NFL encroaching on Christmas Day and naughty or nice?

0:38:48.480 --> 0:38:50.759
<v Speaker 2>I think it's naughty. I just kind of alluded to it.

0:38:50.840 --> 0:38:55.719
<v Speaker 2>I don't. The thing about the NBA is, especially this

0:38:55.800 --> 0:38:59.440
<v Speaker 2>time of year, even on Christmas, you can passively watch,

0:39:00.440 --> 0:39:02.520
<v Speaker 2>like you can just have it on, but you don't

0:39:02.560 --> 0:39:05.040
<v Speaker 2>have to be locked in for the entire game. If

0:39:05.080 --> 0:39:06.920
<v Speaker 2>it's close late, you know what I mean, you lock in.

0:39:07.000 --> 0:39:10.680
<v Speaker 2>It's a nice background noise on Christmas. NFL is not

0:39:10.840 --> 0:39:16.160
<v Speaker 2>like that, especially if it's your team, and putting three

0:39:16.280 --> 0:39:19.719
<v Speaker 2>games on Christmas Day. I'm just not a huge fan

0:39:19.760 --> 0:39:24.160
<v Speaker 2>of I'm just not like this. There were three last

0:39:24.200 --> 0:39:27.800
<v Speaker 2>weekend there were three Saturday games, then the full Sunday slate.

0:39:28.440 --> 0:39:34.040
<v Speaker 2>Now this coming weekend there's three Saturday games. December twenty third,

0:39:34.360 --> 0:39:38.520
<v Speaker 2>a full slate of Christmas Eve games, and then three

0:39:38.680 --> 0:39:43.440
<v Speaker 2>Christmas Day games. I just don't love it all right, last.

0:39:43.040 --> 0:39:44.799
<v Speaker 4>The Suns and Mavericks have been one of the best

0:39:44.880 --> 0:39:47.680
<v Speaker 4>rivalries over the past few years in the NBA. Luca

0:39:47.680 --> 0:39:49.960
<v Speaker 4>and Booker have gone at it in these games and

0:39:50.000 --> 0:39:52.560
<v Speaker 4>have been chippy, to say the least. Well, the Suns

0:39:52.600 --> 0:39:54.360
<v Speaker 4>and Mavericks play naughty or nice.

0:39:55.640 --> 0:39:58.120
<v Speaker 2>Oh no, they don't like each other. And I love it.

0:39:58.480 --> 0:40:02.279
<v Speaker 2>I love the chip on that Luca and Booker have

0:40:02.440 --> 0:40:05.200
<v Speaker 2>towards each other. And no, I think that that's a

0:40:05.280 --> 0:40:09.200
<v Speaker 2>great budding rivalry that I really do enjoy. All Right,

0:40:09.239 --> 0:40:16.200

0:41:23.200 --> 0:41:27.560
<v Speaker 2>I looked at Twitter, and I see this tweet. Kurt

0:41:27.719 --> 0:41:31.319
<v Speaker 2>ben Kurt, who's was an NFL backup quarterback for a

0:41:31.360 --> 0:41:37.120
<v Speaker 2>bit with the Packers, tweeted Brock Purdy is simply a

0:41:37.280 --> 0:41:45.279
<v Speaker 2>modern day Drew Breese with more athleticism. And then David Lombardi,

0:41:46.600 --> 0:41:52.279
<v Speaker 2>who covers the Niners for The Athletic that not a

0:41:52.360 --> 0:42:01.320
<v Speaker 2>nobody a professional NFL writer one hundred thousand Twitter followers. Okay,

0:42:01.360 --> 0:42:07.480
<v Speaker 2>this is what he wrote. Brock Party is Drew Brees

0:42:08.880 --> 0:42:15.480
<v Speaker 2>with Lamar Jackson's ten yard verse, which is exactly what

0:42:15.600 --> 0:42:19.160
<v Speaker 2>Kyle Shanahan was looking for at the quarterback position in

0:42:19.280 --> 0:42:23.160
<v Speaker 2>twenty twenty one. You want to find Drew Brees who

0:42:23.200 --> 0:42:28.520
<v Speaker 2>can move like Lamar Jackson. Yeah, I know, yes, agreed,

0:42:28.600 --> 0:42:30.799
<v Speaker 2>you would like to. You would like to pair up

0:42:31.080 --> 0:42:34.160
<v Speaker 2>the most accurate quarterback in the NFL history with the

0:42:34.160 --> 0:42:37.920
<v Speaker 2>most athletic quarterback in NFL history. And maybe I'm just

0:42:38.000 --> 0:42:39.560
<v Speaker 2>a fool, and they did it.

0:42:40.280 --> 0:42:41.120
<v Speaker 3>They did it.

0:42:42.239 --> 0:42:44.839
<v Speaker 2>I mean they you know what, guys, they did it.

0:42:45.239 --> 0:42:48.160
<v Speaker 2>That's making the television show today. I just I'm telling

0:42:48.200 --> 0:42:51.880
<v Speaker 2>you right now, Hubbs, if you're watching this, this is

0:42:51.960 --> 0:42:56.839
<v Speaker 2>making the television show. David Lombardi uh San Francisco forty

0:42:56.920 --> 0:43:00.799
<v Speaker 2>nine ers coverage at the athletic Brock Party is true

0:43:00.840 --> 0:43:04.959
<v Speaker 2>with Lamar Jackson's ten yard burst. Okay, all right, let's

0:43:04.960 --> 0:43:07.200
<v Speaker 2>go to the picks. We need a five and oh

0:43:07.280 --> 0:43:09.680
<v Speaker 2>week to get to five hundred. That's the reality of it.

0:43:10.120 --> 0:43:12.640
<v Speaker 2>Tampa plus three and a half, never a doubt, Miami

0:43:12.719 --> 0:43:15.160
<v Speaker 2>minus eight and a half, never a doubt. The Giants

0:43:15.160 --> 0:43:17.600
<v Speaker 2>plus six against New Orleans. That one didn't work out.

0:43:17.680 --> 0:43:20.239
<v Speaker 2>Dallas plus one and a half at Buffalo they got annihilated.

0:43:20.480 --> 0:43:24.200
<v Speaker 2>Jacksonville plus three and a half against Baltimore. It was raining,

0:43:24.280 --> 0:43:25.960
<v Speaker 2>so I don't even know if that should count. But

0:43:26.160 --> 0:43:28.319
<v Speaker 2>we're you know, we've spent a lot of time in

0:43:28.360 --> 0:43:31.720
<v Speaker 2>the past on these picks. I'm gonna rapid fireroom demonds

0:43:31.880 --> 0:43:35.000
<v Speaker 2>because the reality is this. Uh, people right now probably

0:43:35.000 --> 0:43:37.080
<v Speaker 2>don't care about my analysis of it because I'm five

0:43:37.080 --> 0:43:40.960
<v Speaker 2>games under five hundred, so my analysis probably flawed. All right,

0:43:41.000 --> 0:43:41.960
<v Speaker 2>give me the first one.

0:43:42.560 --> 0:43:45.440
<v Speaker 4>First off, you got Indy plus one at Atlanta.

0:43:46.680 --> 0:43:49.880
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I think Atlanta stinks. I think Indy's getting healthier.

0:43:49.960 --> 0:43:53.319
<v Speaker 2>Jonathan Taylor is supposed to play. Indy's the better team.

0:43:53.440 --> 0:43:56.160
<v Speaker 2>Indy needs the game at Lantai. I think people are

0:43:56.200 --> 0:43:59.760
<v Speaker 2>getting fired. They just went to Heinike, they go rit or, Heinekee, Heineke.

0:44:00.239 --> 0:44:02.759
<v Speaker 2>It's all the same. We like Indie plus one.

0:44:02.880 --> 0:44:06.280
<v Speaker 4>Next, Yeah, Washington plus three at the Jets.

0:44:08.080 --> 0:44:12.000
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I mean the Jets cannot. The Jets have looked

0:44:12.080 --> 0:44:15.040
<v Speaker 2>competent once in the last month and a half, and

0:44:15.120 --> 0:44:17.640
<v Speaker 2>it was the one game that Zach Wilson had an

0:44:17.640 --> 0:44:23.000
<v Speaker 2>out of body experience and played great. He's he's got

0:44:23.000 --> 0:44:24.920
<v Speaker 2>a concussion. He's probably not gonna play. It's gonna be

0:44:24.960 --> 0:44:28.000
<v Speaker 2>Trevor Simmy and the Jets can't score points. I think Washington.

0:44:28.000 --> 0:44:30.920
<v Speaker 2>I'm getting Washington, who is better than the Jets, and

0:44:30.920 --> 0:44:33.880
<v Speaker 2>I'm getting points. Now. Am I little worried about the

0:44:33.920 --> 0:44:37.399
<v Speaker 2>turnovers from the quarterback position in Washington in this game?

0:44:37.440 --> 0:44:41.120
<v Speaker 2>Given that Jets defensive front, yes, but two bad teams,

0:44:41.200 --> 0:44:44.319
<v Speaker 2>two really bad teams, give me the three points. It's

0:44:44.360 --> 0:44:44.880
<v Speaker 2>that simple.

0:44:45.000 --> 0:44:49.719
<v Speaker 3>Next Detroit minus three at Minnesota.

0:44:49.920 --> 0:44:52.680
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I mean, this is Jared Goff and a dome.

0:44:53.360 --> 0:44:55.759
<v Speaker 2>It's Jared Goff and a dome against a team who

0:44:56.239 --> 0:44:59.319
<v Speaker 2>you know is now on their third different quarterback of

0:44:59.360 --> 0:45:03.759
<v Speaker 2>the season. Detroit needs the game. I understand Minnesota desperately

0:45:03.760 --> 0:45:06.400
<v Speaker 2>needs it. I don't believe in this version of the

0:45:06.440 --> 0:45:11.480
<v Speaker 2>Minnesota Vikings. Nick Mullins is one of the worst covering

0:45:11.600 --> 0:45:13.960
<v Speaker 2>quarterbacks of the last few years, five to eleven and

0:45:14.040 --> 0:45:18.320
<v Speaker 2>one in his career. I think Detroit, listen, Minnesota is

0:45:18.320 --> 0:45:20.399
<v Speaker 2>gonna blitz the hell out of Detroit. I think Ben

0:45:20.480 --> 0:45:23.120
<v Speaker 2>Johnson's gonna have an answer for that. I think Detroit

0:45:23.239 --> 0:45:28.000
<v Speaker 2>against mid tier or worst teams or against most teams

0:45:28.000 --> 0:45:32.200
<v Speaker 2>in a controlled weather environment like a dome is gonna cook.

0:45:32.320 --> 0:45:34.759
<v Speaker 2>I don't mind laying three points for a divisional road

0:45:35.920 --> 0:45:38.600
<v Speaker 2>road favorite. I know that's typically not a great idea,

0:45:38.640 --> 0:45:41.600
<v Speaker 2>but I'm good with it in this spot. Detroit minus three.

0:45:41.520 --> 0:45:44.560
<v Speaker 3>Next Dallas plus one and a half at Miami.

0:45:45.960 --> 0:45:49.800
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, like I just Miami is incredibly banged up. Dallas

0:45:49.800 --> 0:45:53.239
<v Speaker 2>doesn't lose back to back. Dallas's offense I think will

0:45:53.280 --> 0:45:57.200
<v Speaker 2>click back in Miami. This is a bit of a

0:45:57.640 --> 0:45:59.759
<v Speaker 2>I don't want to say a trap game spot, but

0:45:59.800 --> 0:46:03.640
<v Speaker 2>my Miami's massive game is next week against Baltimore and

0:46:03.680 --> 0:46:06.879
<v Speaker 2>then the following week against Buffalo. If there was ever

0:46:06.960 --> 0:46:09.759
<v Speaker 2>a week that they could I don't want to say

0:46:09.800 --> 0:46:13.080
<v Speaker 2>overlook because it's national TV. They're at home, they're playing

0:46:13.120 --> 0:46:16.719
<v Speaker 2>a great team, but they have massive games coming up

0:46:16.760 --> 0:46:19.560
<v Speaker 2>in week seventeen to eighteen. Dallas coming off a loss,

0:46:19.600 --> 0:46:22.560
<v Speaker 2>Miami coming off an easy victory. Dallas has to have

0:46:22.600 --> 0:46:25.400
<v Speaker 2>the win with Philly all of a sudden, looking really shaky,

0:46:25.719 --> 0:46:28.600
<v Speaker 2>Dallas can steal that division. I like Dallas to win,

0:46:28.880 --> 0:46:32.960
<v Speaker 2>and especially given yesterday's practice report where Hill's not practicing,

0:46:33.280 --> 0:46:36.520
<v Speaker 2>a Cham's not practicing. The entire offensive line didn't practice.

0:46:36.600 --> 0:46:37.680
<v Speaker 2>All right, last one?

0:46:38.320 --> 0:46:41.400
<v Speaker 4>All right, you got the Giants plus twelve at Philly.

0:46:42.680 --> 0:46:46.719
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it's I'm getting a dozen points in a divisional

0:46:46.760 --> 0:46:50.640
<v Speaker 2>game against a team that is in total disarray, and

0:46:50.760 --> 0:46:53.920
<v Speaker 2>against a team who just let Drew Lot go ninety

0:46:53.960 --> 0:46:56.760
<v Speaker 2>two yards. You let Drew Lot go ninety two yards

0:46:56.760 --> 0:46:59.680
<v Speaker 2>in ninety seconds. The idea that Tommy DeVito can't get

0:46:59.719 --> 0:47:02.160
<v Speaker 2>a back or cover out of this. If you let

0:47:02.280 --> 0:47:05.600
<v Speaker 2>if you can't stop Drew Locke to win a game,

0:47:06.000 --> 0:47:09.880
<v Speaker 2>then anybody can cook on you. The Philly defenses in shambles.

0:47:09.920 --> 0:47:13.520
<v Speaker 2>They just they had Matt Patricia call him plays. Matt Patricia,

0:47:13.520 --> 0:47:16.000
<v Speaker 2>who famously carries around a pencil even though his play

0:47:16.000 --> 0:47:18.760
<v Speaker 2>sheets laminated and you can't use a pencil on laminade

0:47:18.800 --> 0:47:20.759
<v Speaker 2>beats of paper, But he does it because he's trying

0:47:20.800 --> 0:47:23.640
<v Speaker 2>to coseplay as Bill Belichick. Yeah, I'll take the Giants

0:47:23.640 --> 0:47:26.960
<v Speaker 2>getting a dozen points in a divisional game. So the

0:47:27.000 --> 0:47:30.799
<v Speaker 2>picks this week are Indy plus one, Washington plus three,

0:47:30.920 --> 0:47:33.359
<v Speaker 2>Detroit minus three, Dallas plus one and a half, and

0:47:33.400 --> 0:47:36.439
<v Speaker 2>the Giants plus twelve. Last week, Demonse and I both

0:47:36.440 --> 0:47:41.560
<v Speaker 2>did a teaser. Uh, and well, Demonse's was unaired, mine

0:47:41.600 --> 0:47:44.720
<v Speaker 2>was aired. They both lost. We've been officially the worst

0:47:44.760 --> 0:47:48.319
<v Speaker 2>teaser show in America this year. But even okay on

0:47:48.400 --> 0:47:51.440
<v Speaker 2>the offer, though, what's the offer? This week? We lost

0:47:51.440 --> 0:47:54.040
<v Speaker 2>to Moonse so I'll read the teaser. Don't worry about that.

0:47:54.400 --> 0:47:57.400
<v Speaker 2>We're calling this one. Joe Burrow is a system quarterback.

0:47:57.440 --> 0:47:59.600
<v Speaker 2>I'm not saying that. That's what the offer is. Jake

0:47:59.640 --> 0:48:02.399
<v Speaker 2>brown to throw for three hundred yards and over one

0:48:02.400 --> 0:48:05.440
<v Speaker 2>and a half touchdown passes for Pitt or versus Pitt

0:48:05.480 --> 0:48:08.600
<v Speaker 2>for Jake Browning. I'm not gonna take that. I do

0:48:08.760 --> 0:48:11.400
<v Speaker 2>understand it, but I think that's a little too rich.

0:48:11.960 --> 0:48:15.640
<v Speaker 2>Against the Browns, sorry, against the Steelers defense. Read your

0:48:15.680 --> 0:48:18.040
<v Speaker 2>listener questions in the chat. You can still put them in.

0:49:39.640 --> 0:49:42.560
<v Speaker 2>I'm gonna read these questions. Demandy's getting his mic fixed.

0:49:42.560 --> 0:49:44.680
<v Speaker 2>But we're about to wrap the show, anyway, Where do

0:49:44.719 --> 0:49:47.520
<v Speaker 2>the Lakers go from here? After an underwhelming fifteen and

0:49:47.600 --> 0:49:51.319
<v Speaker 2>thirteen start trade a new coach? Lebron asks out, there's

0:49:51.320 --> 0:49:53.359
<v Speaker 2>not gonna be a new coach. Lebron's not gonna ask out.

0:49:53.760 --> 0:49:56.319
<v Speaker 2>I do think that they're gonna make a significant trade

0:49:56.360 --> 0:49:59.120
<v Speaker 2>at some point. I also think that it does seem

0:49:59.200 --> 0:50:01.600
<v Speaker 2>like they put a lot of effort and energy into

0:50:01.640 --> 0:50:04.600
<v Speaker 2>that end season tournament, and since then for them and

0:50:04.680 --> 0:50:07.480
<v Speaker 2>the Pacers that things haven't been quite right. I don't

0:50:07.520 --> 0:50:09.279
<v Speaker 2>have really the answer on that, but you can't be

0:50:09.400 --> 0:50:11.840
<v Speaker 2>getting blown out by the Chicago Bulls. Give me a break.

0:50:12.080 --> 0:50:17.800
<v Speaker 2>Daniel Christo christasect pardon me, asked, could Kadarius Tony's receiving

0:50:17.840 --> 0:50:21.640
<v Speaker 2>issues being equipment management issue? He's wearing different gloves and

0:50:21.719 --> 0:50:23.960
<v Speaker 2>other guys, I've never thought of that. I did have

0:50:24.040 --> 0:50:26.520
<v Speaker 2>the Galaxy Brain take though yesterday, and I think the

0:50:26.520 --> 0:50:29.960
<v Speaker 2>producers will love this, including producer Kara, who once upon

0:50:30.000 --> 0:50:31.960
<v Speaker 2>a time I called an intern in just earlier the

0:50:32.000 --> 0:50:36.360
<v Speaker 2>show I fired for an imaginary friend. Sorry about that, Kara. Uh,

0:50:36.440 --> 0:50:41.279
<v Speaker 2>here's my Galaxy Brain. Kadarius Tony drops take if he

0:50:41.360 --> 0:50:46.160
<v Speaker 2>were worse it'd be better. The take is this the

0:50:46.239 --> 0:50:50.680
<v Speaker 2>Kadarias Tony drops. If they were traditional drops that just

0:50:50.719 --> 0:50:55.640
<v Speaker 2>went through his hands down, nobody would care. But because

0:50:55.680 --> 0:50:59.080
<v Speaker 2>he's almost catching it and then trying to double catch

0:50:59.120 --> 0:51:02.680
<v Speaker 2>it and he pushes it up, they turn into interceptions.

0:51:03.080 --> 0:51:06.240
<v Speaker 2>If he was worse, nobody would care about these drops.

0:51:07.360 --> 0:51:10.400
<v Speaker 2>Cutlass asks, do you ever think we'll see Stephan Lebron

0:51:10.520 --> 0:51:14.280
<v Speaker 2>team up before they retire? Listen? If the Warriors, Suns,

0:51:14.280 --> 0:51:17.920
<v Speaker 2>and Lakers all have disappointing seasons as they are as

0:51:17.960 --> 0:51:21.960
<v Speaker 2>it looks like they're all going to I personally would

0:51:22.000 --> 0:51:25.560
<v Speaker 2>love to see I think Oklahoma City's the only team

0:51:25.600 --> 0:51:28.160
<v Speaker 2>that could make this happen as far as cap space

0:51:28.239 --> 0:51:31.120
<v Speaker 2>and trade assets. I'd love to see an old guys

0:51:31.160 --> 0:51:36.319
<v Speaker 2>team next year. Lebron at forty, step and Katie both

0:51:36.360 --> 0:51:40.080
<v Speaker 2>at thirty six. Those three guys just taking like in

0:51:40.120 --> 0:51:43.440
<v Speaker 2>a sports movie, three of the oldest players in the league,

0:51:43.440 --> 0:51:46.759
<v Speaker 2>three legends teaming up against all the young guys. But no,

0:51:46.800 --> 0:51:50.200
<v Speaker 2>I don't think we'll ever see it. And then the

0:51:50.280 --> 0:51:53.560
<v Speaker 2>last one is Zane Martin ask. Because the NFL's are

0:51:53.600 --> 0:51:56.480
<v Speaker 2>hard salary cap league, do you think salary should be

0:51:56.560 --> 0:51:59.799
<v Speaker 2>considered for MVP. Sure, let's have pretty, let's give pretty

0:51:59.840 --> 0:52:03.120
<v Speaker 2>more advantages. No, it shouldn't be considered for MVP. It

0:52:03.200 --> 0:52:07.520
<v Speaker 2>should be considered as far as what player is adding

0:52:07.640 --> 0:52:12.759
<v Speaker 2>most value given the cap. But that's totally separate from

0:52:12.760 --> 0:52:15.440
<v Speaker 2>what the award most Valuable Player is supposed to be.

0:52:15.719 --> 0:52:18.200
<v Speaker 2>All right, guys, be on the lookout. Next week we'll

0:52:18.239 --> 0:52:21.080
