And we do a brief look at the conference championship matchups. You all please enjoy this show. We've got plenty coming down the pipe the rest of the week. Wednesday's show, The Freak Show on Friday,

and our Amps show Thursday after. Lay up line today, guys. Remember the song by Jamie O'Neill? There is no Arizona. I don't know it. You don't know the song? Oh, play it. We've got to hear it.

I want to hear it. It promised her a new and better life. There is no Arizona. Yes, yes, yes. No painted desert, no Sedona. There was a Grand Canyon. You're thinking of Heds Carolina and Tails California. That's Joe D. Messina.

Yeah. Yeah. I like that song. I like that song. It's an objectively terribly produced song. I went back and listened to it this morning. It was Jamie O'Neill. And there is no Arizona. There is no Arizona for two teams that woke up this weekend thinking that they could be Super Bowl champions, but they can't.

In the Sonoran. In the Sonoran Desert. Yeah. In the Sonoran Desert. But it doesn't exist. And we're going, Kyle. We are. We're going to be in Arizona.

I don't think Megan's going. Any other green light listeners out there in Arizona if you see us wandering through the desert? maybe offer some water. You know, it's been cold here. It's a lot hotter out there. Some marijuana. I didn't say that. I didn't say that.

Hey, housekeeping, real quick. Sean Glennon listens to this pod. I love Sean Glenn. Our guy, Sean Glenn. My favorite hokey. Former hokey. Good dude. He texted me this weekend and was like,

dude, I listen to your pod, which is always like, just admit that, like, earlier, you know? Like, if you listen to my pod, like, tell me, like, immediately. don't let me ramble on not knowing that you're listening but he was like hey nice job on the Jags score and I had totally forgotten this but we nailed it on the fucking button

2720. You're on a heater. Yeah we're on a heater we're on a heater. Can you you gamble? You gamble. Can you gamble exact scores? I guess you can. I think you can. I need to do it more especially for like the Super Bowl you can. I need to do it more so shout out to Sean Glennon and shout out to Mike Glennon too. Shout to Mike Glennon as well.

Who's still getting calls. He was a Miami. Ranking it in, dude. Yeah. So. Remember when Sean Glenn was at a, played at Georgia Tech. They had forgotten his jersey.

He had to wear a Georgia Tech jersey. Yes. Did he transfer? No, no, no. Tech played. They literally forgot their jersey. So they had to go and get the numbers from their equipment room and sew it on. Yeah.

Oh, that's terrible. Oh, that's all. I think they might have even written the back name plate on. Yeah, yeah. It was like when somebody stole MJ's jersey. He had to wear like number 22. That's hideous. They pasted over the Georgia Tech and then wrote Glennon,

capital G, lowercase, every other letter. That is so bad. Jesus Christ. Comic Sands. Fought. Oh, that's ridiculous. Oh, that's bad, dude. The Georgia Tech jersey is bad-looking Jersey anyways.

Yeah. That was when they were Russell athletic. Now they're new balance. Yeah. That might be Boston College. Georgia Tech's Adidas now. Was that Reggie balls, yellow jackets? Yes.

Yeah. He's a baller. Shout out to Sean Glennon. Guys, important question here. Well, I want to alert you some. If Brock Purdy wins the Super Bowl, he gets to go to Disney World, right? Or Disneyland. I'm not sure which one it is. Gets too.

Yeah, gets to, has to. But does he have to be the Super Bowl MVP or just win it? I feel like somebody recently issued it and somebody else went. I think it typically goes to the MVP. Well, here's the deal. If somehow he finds his way, into the MVP conversation on Super Bowl Sunday, he could go to Disney World twice

because Mr. Irrelevant goes to Disney World. So the question I have for y'all is, would you take two trips or would you do like a week at Disney World? He hasn't taken the... The Mr. Relevant trip hasn't cashed in on his Mr. Relevant trip yet. I don't think he's cash in on that trip yet. Stack it up.

Or maybe upgrade the room. Don't go for a longer duration, but just have the most elite room at Disneyland. I'm spending a week. The Mickey Mouse Suite. I'm trying every day. Like I told these guys last night, I'm going to have Mickey Mouse bringing me room service. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Sampling all the pools. Unlimited petting zoo time. Rubbing the shoulders. Yeah. No state income tax. So if he gets paid for all of his appearances down there, he's, he's cool. Yeah, he's clear. Okay. You guys know what Minnie's name is? Minnie Mouse. Minerva. Really? Yeah. You're full of interesting information. I think it is. What's Mickey's government name? Mickleson. not Phil Not true

All right We're going to roll into America's teams Speaking of America's teams I had a realization last night Jim Nance should have run for president He has a president face He has a president voice He does

I just think he could have saved our country At some point Now I love what he's doing in the booth He's very important to us But don't you think he could have run for president He's like he could have played a president In a movie Or a TV show at least

He's probably one of those, hey, I like your social issues and all, but also like small government. You think? Yeah. That's how you think of President. Highly electable. Yeah. It's funny.

People have heard a lot more of him talking than our probably the last two presidents combined because we watched so much sports. The one before the car one I heard. They've heard quite a bit. The last one, ironically, has talked less. The car one, yeah. Yeah. So, um, so yeah, I just, I don't know why I,

realize that, but... I got some America's teams. Okay, go ahead. By the way. What, that he could run for president? Yeah, yeah. As you might have known, there's no age limit. We got to start with San Francisco 49ers. Their brand of football defensively is so physical. It's what draws people to the game of football, really primarily is people like to see hits, big hits.

They all fly around. They've got superstars, but then at the center of it is the juxtaposition of Mr. Irrelevant who we were just talking about. And the story book storyline that we've watched. I think it's seven, eight in a row now. Brock Purdy has a chance to do something that nobody's ever done. And yeah, they're my number one America's team. Number two, America's team, the Bengals. I love Joe Burrow. I think that Joe Burrow is the archetypical quarterback. I think that if there is ever going to be a Brady comparison from an intangible standpoint, we're looking at him. And this guy could be even better

because he's more athletic and he has better weapons as it currently stands. My number three, America's team is a Philadelphia Eagles. My God, they were impressive. I'm scared for everybody who has to play them. I really believe that.

Both AFC and NFC, the Eagles are a force to be reckoned with. And how smart does Howie Roseman look right now? Oh, he looks real smart. I mean, he's just the smartest guy. Yeah, fell into Jalen Hertz, you know, fleece the Titans for A.J. Brown. Swindling.

You know, bringing in all these free agent pieces that have played a big role for them. Number four, Kansas City Chiefs. This is a shocker. Number four, Kansas City Chiefs. Like five. Five is going to be a clip hang. Yeah, they're pretty awesome. The Chiefs.

Patrick Mahomes watching him go down. I was like watching a relative get rolled up the other day during the game. But shout out to Chad Henney. You got a backup plan. What's more American than having a plan B and it works. But then your plan A comes back and has an absolute dominant game. Number five, the one you've all been waiting for. Kickers.

Ah. We all feel for kickers. Obviously, Mr. Marr had a troublesome last few weeks, and last night it continued on. But then you look at the other sideline, Robbie Gold. They call timeout at one point in the game where there's a delay in the action. Robbie has to go back to the sideline.

Yes. And what you see is a guy who has so much experience in controlling what. what he can, and that's his process. And I think a lot of it stems from him playing golf. Yes. You know, sometimes you've got to step off, step away from the ball, and reset. And in the NFL, obviously, there's timeouts, there's procedural penalties, TV timeouts.

You have to wait to hit the ball sometimes. Credit to Robbie for going to the sideline and resetting. His holder, Charlie Brown, him. And then when you see Brett. Yeah, he did, he pulled it out. And then when you see Brett, when there's a delay in the action, he almost looks like he doesn't know what to do. He just walks around. You know, when you're at a party and you don't.

know who to talk to. That was that. Yeah. You kind of float. Number five. Okay. That's good. Four of those I didn't see coming. Yeah, well, it's that time of year. It might be time to downsize America's teams, as suggests. America's team. Yeah. In the off season. In the off season. Hey, for me, let's go to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, yeah? The Temple Owl. Oh, yeah. Winners of six of eight, they got number one Houston on Sunday. They got them 56, 55. Calvin Samson said the cooks had a bad day. Now, Temple's 12 and 9, but just goes to show you anything can happen in the greatest sport we have.

College basketball. Number two. You believe that? Yeah, I love college hoops. Yeah. Okay. NFL for me probably two as my love for college football dwindles by the second. The United States of America is number two.

And I'll tell you why. There are three American men still in the Aussie Open. We're to the quarters, and there are three American men still playing. Love that. Also, Jessica Pagula is still playing on the women's side. She is a progeny of Buffalo Bills owners, the Pagulas. Yeah. Wow, good for them.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. She's like, she's the three seat. She's amazing. And finally, a lot of pressure on her this week. Do you think they'd rather the Bills win a Super Bowl or her win the Australian? A lot of pressure. A lot of pressure on her this week. She's wearing a three on her skirt for tomorrow.

She hasn't lost the Australian open four times. She hasn't lost the Australian open four times in a row. Yeah, that's true. Yeah, it's true. And, oh, she's got Coco. So that means there's still two American women in the Austin. Okay, sick. And, hey, time zones, I don't know, I don't know what to do with them.

I just want to make a point that that game ending at 9.45 p.m. Eastern time last night. was delightful. Awesome. Which would would put us in the mountain time zone because the game started 630 if if normal prime time game started 830. Yeah. So that's like your Denver. But for everything starting at seven, that means it would be five. That's a little too early. Yeah. So I still think the ideal window is the central central time zone. And I would like to now rank my five most trendy American cities in the central time zone. These are on all the list of, hey, move here. Yeah. Yeah.

This is cliche cities in the central time zone. Five, Minneapolis. I'll keep it moving. Four, New Orleans. Three, Chicago. Two, Austin. One, Nashville. Yeah.

Trendy, though. You know, Chicago, people've been living there a lot for a long time. It's one of those, it's a classic that remains fresh. You know? Yeah. Chicago. Number three, Boston Celtics, winners of nine in a row. They're a little dinged up, but they're 35 and 12, for goodness sake.

First in the east. Let me read you the top five teams. conference might surprise you. Read them. Celtics, Sixers, Bucks, nets, calves, West, Nuggets, Grizzlies, kings, pelicans.

Kings? Caves. The Kings. What are the Kings doing? Were they supposed to be tanking? No, they traded for Sabonis. They're good. Okay. It's a bonus. Is that Arvetus's son? Yeah. I'm a fan of the Kings. Yeah. Yeah. Kegan Murray. Yeah. Deeran

Fox. Yeah. Subonis has a kid. I think he's playing. Yeah. Number four, the Cincinnati Bengals. Joey Burr is what I call them. Ice cold. Sheisty. They got Moxie.

I love that team. And this is what I think I've decided I'd like for the Super Bowl to be. Cincinnati and my fifth America's team, the Philadelphia Eagles. Yeah, it'd be a hell of a game. They're a fun club. Bully ball, as you noted, Chris, on Saturday night when I was with you in corporate Scott. That was cool. Yeah, we got a bar.

Yeah. Turn out I wasn't that drunk. I was just pretty high. Yeah. I turned to you and I said, I'm not drinking anymore. I'd only had like four or five drinks. Well, I don't know if you said you were drunk. You just said you weren't completely.

Yeah, I wasn't. I wasn't. I was kind of in that mode. Yeah. Yeah. We got a burger at Jack Browns. That was me during the Giants game. Yeah, but we got to see.

It was good to see you. Good to see you too. Kind of forgot about that. You forgot that I was there? It was a little hazy at that point. No, no problem. Eagles, 38 to 7, a laugher. Going away.

America's teams. Okay, America's teams. Penn State, number one. There we go. Congratulations, Marcus Hagan's. You all got a great one. He got a great coach and a great person in Marcus Hagan's. He was the associate head coach at Virginia, and he has moved on to Penn State to coach the wide receivers. Man, this is a big-time job. And a big-time program. We talk about Penn State with Sanford-Seeve all the time. They're one of those teams that can make that playoff leave. Yeah, we'll catch them in the playoff this year. So I know Virginia will miss him and he is an awesome

coach. He deserves it. Yeah, America's team's out wide receivers room at Penn State. At Penn State, the wide receivers room for sure. They're not happy valley. They're ecstatic value. That's right. Okay. I'm going to go Cincinnati Bengals and for two reasons. Number one for beating Vegas. Okay, because a bunch of people were on the Bengals, it almost felt like

it was the square pick, but it turned out Vegas was the square. I didn't know what Vegas was doing initially maybe suggesting to people that there was a reason that you should take the bills at minus five all week but people didn't jump at it. They took the Bengals. You know, I think one of the biggest reasons

their America's team this week, actually the initial reason they landed on my list was respecting outdoor football. The Bengals saved us from the NFL using next week as a test case for something they want to do in the future. you know money ball like money ball like let's just put these i mean uh Andrew brand was talking about this there were a couple guys on Twitter tweeting about this the fact that the NFL uh could use a game at mercedes benz dome between the bills and the chiefs as kind of

oh look how much money we made and then you never know because once the NFL tastes the the green they don't come off of it and so the bangle saved us from having to watch a sterile neutral site game, and we're going to be at Arrowhead because the Bengals handled their business. So thank you to the Cincinnati Bengals. Kansas City and Jacksonville Wives, Tammy Reed and Jeannie Peterson. I don't know if you saw this, but they're best friends. But Saturday, they were frenemies. They were the dreaded frenemies. Waylon asked me what that means. I had to explain to him because we were watching the game. They panned to Jeannie and to Tammy, and they said, today, their frenemies. And I had to explain.

If Whalen were a bit older, he would understand the concept because you and I have been frenemies on a number of occasions. I kind of feel like it was like, I would liken it to, I was like, hey man, you know, like before Trump, our two political parties, people got along for like four years. And then they became frenemies around November every, every fourth year. No more. But before that, that was kind of what it was like. We were a bunch of Tammy, Tammy Reid's and Jeanne Peterson's.

T. Morant and Shannon Sharp, yeah. They got back together. They hugged it out. Even though Shannon Sharp had the upper hand in the hug, he definitely pulled T. Morant into his center of gravity, which is an alpha move. And I don't think T wanted any of those problems. Shannon still looks enormous.

I don't think Desmond Bain wants any of those problems. ends up being a massive L for him. People after the game said he was dressed like a GTA character doing his interview. Notice Stephen Adams wasn't mentioned in Shannon Sharps. I mean, this was unbelievable. I was watching something else, understandably the other night,

because who gives a fuck about the NBA in January, except for Matt? And somebody was like, turn on the TV, Shannon Sharp. It's like pro wrestling. And it was. it was like rassling inside of a real sports game. We need more of this.

We need a media member to start a beef with an NBA player in every market. Stephen A. Smith beefs with somebody in New York. I'm going to beef with an NBA player. I feel like this is going to put me on the map. I'm going to pick an NBA player to beef with. I asked Matt to find me a list of five to seven NBA players that he thinks I can beat up. I put some that might be tougher and some that are easier, Here's a list for you.

Well, I just want you to know before you read this list, I'm zeroing in on Kevin Herder. Okay, I'm thinking maybe I say, hey, Kevin Herder. Sacramento King. You don't have great length, you know? It's going to be hard for you to guard wings. I don't think you're a great separator. I don't think you can create your own shot very well.

You're right. And if you're interested in Kevin Herder, may I suggest Grace and Allen? Yeah, yeah, for sure. but the key is I don't actually want to beat this guy up. I might actually want to beat Grayson Allen up. The key is you want this beef to be almost ingest so that we can hug it out like T. Morant and Shannon Sharp. We don't want to actually fight.

You've got Marcus Morris on there. I feel like you and Draymond would have a really good back and forth. Knockdown drag out or just verbal. Like a good spat. Like in any arena. It would just be funny because Draymond, I think, is a really smart. watch this weekend and I was like, man, he's got, he's got Yokitch on here? Yeah, he's a monster. That's the one guy I thought could, uh...

We were making a list of people you couldn't meet up to. Okay. Yo Kitch is on the list. I feel like he's got some length on me. Me and Matt were talking about guys that Shannon Sharp would starch in the NBA. Most of them. And I put the over under at conservatively 60%. 60%.

Just to be frenemies with... What a starch mean? Like knock, you know, when you hit a guy and he just starched? Making those. I don't know. You know, when the guys hit the canvas, psh, okay.

Well, anyways, you know, not to... Stephen Adams, I think, gets Shannon Sharp Yes. Seven days a week. Not to commandeer the America's teams, but I just feel like we're on to something here. You know, did you see all the attention Shannon Sharp got?

We could roll up to a fucking Pistons game and be the main event. You have to have a cool outfit, though. Tell Marvin Bagley III, what's up? Yeah, dude. What do we say about him? Went to Duke. Yeah, okay.

Larry Nance's... There you. A guy that looks a lot like... Alex Caruso. Now, here's a guy that I think I might be able to take. Trey Young, too. Yeah, there's some good names on here.

So we need to book our ticket and we need to start a beef with an NBA player. Chivalmagee. Chivalmagee. Walk right by me in a club. Totally ignored me. We got unfinished business, big fella. I stuck my hand out like... And the worst part was like, my hand was like up here.

I was like, hey, Javall McGee. I was like at his waist. and he just walked right by. It's Javel, motherfucker. Yeah, whatever it is. Okay. I think you did. DeNus Haslam would be fun because he's always, like, mean mugging,

but he's not going to actually fight. I don't know about that. The Wiz are two hours away. What about Chris Staps? You got 7-3-2-40. He can handle him. I'm good. One more, one more America's team,

the Charlottesville Knicks. Wayland's team. Waylon scored four points this weekend. There's no. I got the football. phone right out on time to film his first ever basket. It was incredible for a team that didn't even come close to covering last week. This weekend, it was like 2016.

Kid named Brooks made a bunch of shots for them. Whalen poured in two buckets of his own. They lost the game, but like they say, great teams cover. Yeah. Or good teams cover or something like that. Good teams win, great teams cover. Yeah. And then what do they say about the team that covers on the losing side?

They're great. They're great. Yeah. So, yeah, we love the Knicks. Now, Whalen scored four points. He's been running around in these Iversons, like these hand-me-down Iversons that actually came from Marcus Hagan's kids. And they're really heavy.

So you can hear him running down the whole court. He's like a fucking giraffe out there. So I had to take him to Dick's sporting goods this weekend before the game to get some new shoes, right? And so we're up against it because it's picture day. I got to be there early. The guy's taking a while. There's other basketball players in there. Everybody's got the same idea.

They don't have the LeBron's. They don't have this underarm repair he likes. They're like, we do have the Kyrie. Yeah. Discounted. So, no, I don't know if it was discounted or not, but like... Flat sole. It's a pretty good shoe, Kyle.

And I was sitting there in Dick's sporting goods, and I'm watching him try them on. He's like, these fit, Dad, and we're right up against him. We got to leave after, like, this try on. And I'm thinking to myself, like, This is where you stand on your principles, right? You don't like Kyrie. He's an anti-Semite. He rambles on.

You've never liked him, you know? Do you tell the kid that it's not going to be this pair of shoes and reach for the fucking E-tonics or something? And I didn't. I crumbled in the moment. I had to get the picture day. And after the game, he scored four points for riding home in the car. And he goes, it's quiet.

And he goes, hey, dad, got to be the shoe. and I just kept quiet. So, yeah, America's teams, the Charlottesville next. You better hope those feet grow rapidly. Exactly. We need to get them into the Enos Freedom Cantor. Just joking. Just joking.

Gambling problem in Arizona, call 1-800. Next Step. In Colorado, Indiana, New Jersey, and Virginia, call 1-800 gambler. And at Michigan, 1-800-270-1-17. Tennessee, y'all too. 1-800-8-9-9-9-7-89. So let's talk about these games, shall we? A lot of games.

A lot of games. I think we start in chronological order. Kansas City, Jacksonville, right off the bat. I was really interested in this game. I was interested in seeing how Trevor would respond. I was interested in seeing how aggressive Doug would be. And I think the thing I came away from this game thinking is, number one, the chief's chances of winning a championship have diminished

greatly with Patrick Mahomes injury. Number two, my respect for Patrick Mahomes has increased, if it could, another notch because a high ankle is nothing to play with. For me, I think the issue was always this year at the protection. When things break down and people get around Patrick, particularly his feet, he can get out. And we've seen in years past where he's had lower leg issues, we saw him with the turf toe in the Super Bowl where he was just under duress the entire time. I think it's going to be a lot of that against the Bengals.

We're going to see a guy go out there and play hurt. I would venture to say he's playing injured. And what we saw was a guy playing injured this past weekend, and it was gritty, and it was tough. And that's, you know, people, there's a lot of hyperbole when they talk about toughness in the NFL. What we saw was no exaggeration of the word. And credit Chad Henney for being ready.

credit the coaching staff for yanking Patrick to the locker room. Obviously, they won't. Five plays later. There was like a five play period where I thought that the internet was going to lose its mind. Was Chad not warm? Is that why he went to the sideline? Chad was warming up and then he was like, fuck it, I'm ready.

Yeah, I don't know. And then there was the whole conversation, which essentially we were trying to read lips, but it amounted to, hey, if the x-ray is negative, I'll put you back in. And Patrick didn't want to leave the field. No. Now, I will say this. Chad Henney deserves a lot of credit. You just mentioned him.

91-yard drive or whatever it was. 98-yard drive, a bunch of plays. Pacheco had a 35-yarder. Just to have the, you know, to stabilize your team psychologically, when Patrick Mahomes goes down, everybody's thinking the same thing. Did our entire season just go up and smoke? You know, and even if he comes back, things have changed. Can we win this game?

Jacksonville was within striking distance at that point because... 10-7. Yeah, they were playing with their food a little bit. Henny goes in and just runs the offense, stabilizes the situation, and comes up with a key touchdown. It wasn't like they were watching this drive thinking, how are we going to be next week if Patrick doesn't play? This was like an important drive.

We got to win this game. And so what he did was huge. And you can't discount the impact that he's had there in Kansas City over his tenure. You know, what I think is interesting as we look ahead and as we evaluate the, the the rest of this game. Jacksonville brought pressure early but didn't follow through when they had a chance to with a wounded Mahomes. And I want to say this, like Warren Sharp again, who gets a couple shoutouts on this show a month, it feels like, but when you tweet things like Arden Key deliberately fell on Patrick Mahomes' foot, you know, you're kind of asking

for it. I think that's kind of an irresponsible tweet. You're calling a guy dirty, that tweet has tens of thousands of views. And, you know, half the reason, ironically, that I think falling off him is because he's protecting the quarterback, a lot of the new set of rules that seem to get piled on every year when it comes to what we can and can't do with quarterback. So, you know, he falls on his ankle. After that point, they really didn't have an aggressive mindset that I think they should have had in trying to win this game on defense. They really didn't hit him a lot. Patrick Mahomes' play action splits went way down as the game went on. You saw him like trying to hand the ball off, you know, on a stretch play. And they're like, hey, like,

I don't know if you realize they call it a stretch play. He's got to stretch and get the ball to his running back, you know, play action, some of the magic that he creates. You know, we're going to talk about the Bengals game in a second. I watched that first game again. You know, like there are a ton of plays in that game where he's extending plays in the red zone, especially with his legs. That's off the menu. And pump-fakes. Do you remember the Michael Jordan touchdown where he leaps over the with the jump man. Like that's off the menu. All that stuff's off the menu.

Play action might be off the menu. He holds the ball for 2.9 seconds on average. That's off the menu probably. In the red zone, he's up around three. He can't create the same way that he did before that injury, and it's not going to be any better by the Super Bowl if they get there. This thing isn't getting better. I've had a high-in-guyen-guet.

Until the end of mini-camp, he won't feel a semblance of normal. And if you play on this thing, it could change the way your ankle moves forever. Like when I played on a high ankle in 2011, it was my contract year. I had to play. We just shot it up and played. And during the week, you cannot walk depending on how high it is. You shoot it up on Sunday. You take tort all.

You take some painkillers. You go out there and you drag that thing around like a cinder block. And at least it doesn't hurt so much. But I'm going to tell you what's going to hurt. Anytime you try to cut, you stop like on a diamond cut or put the brakes on. Anytime you try to push off and get that extension because your Achilles gets tight too, like his foot is a flat, it's a brick, dude, from now on. He can't be on the ball of his feet.

We saw them showing a lot of the replays of the foot and the tape job that he got. And one thing that you noticed, he was flat-footed and almost heel strong with his back foot. And I was asking Matt Ryan about it. And that's what he kept talking about. It's his back foot. That's concerning. As to the scheme and stuff that's going to go missing for the chiefs, that's out of the playbook.

I think it's also interesting because now we get to see another version of Patrick Mahomes and Andy Reid says, okay, he's not going to be mobile, but one thing I know Patrick has is a couple things. Great decision making, incredible armed talent, and receivers who can make plays. And a guy named Travis Kelsey who finds the open spot. So I think they may go Texas Tech, air raid mixed with inside zone, hand it and forget it. There's not going to be the big play action. They're not going to run naked.

We're not going to see him get outside, contain. It's going to be a pocket passing, balls out quick offense, mixing in the big runs with Pacheco. You know, Kyle, and this team is built to run the football. And, you know, although they're not great in third and short, which is going to be an issue for them going forward because they're going to have to move the chains, like responsibly. Like you said, it might be more quick game and that sort of thing. But the run game is going to be huge. And you can tell they lean on those big bodies up front.

That's not how they've been built in years past. And we've talked a lot over the last two years about how they've tooled up. up up front to go to war. Kyle, now it's like, it's kind of like your Ford Raptor, Kyle. You know, your Fox Racing suspension, your supercharged V8. Now you get to use that.

You know, most days you're like, fuck, this thing, I mean, it's hard to park this truck. Why do I have it? I'm not, you know, I'm not, I'm not one of these off-road guys. But now you can use it. Yeah. Like, it's kind of like when you've got to actually drive it through a field or something.

And we've been getting after Andy Reid forever about it. And we don't want to, I always say, I don't want to scoff at Andy Reed's mentality, but I always balk at it because you've got a guy named Pacheco who you can hand the ball to you. You've got a guy named Jerich McKinnon who can run hard between the tackles and catch a ball off play action. Now you can't do the play action. Now you can't even hand the ball off on the stretch to what you were talking about.

You got to hop on one leg there. D-Lyman linebackers now know my key is when I see Patrick Mahomes back, I can trigger downhill. Usually they have to stay at home and keep their feet flat. wait for him to pop up and see what the guards are doing. Now they can say it's a run because you know what he's not going to do? He's not going to scamper off of a play action. And you can run more man if you want to in certain situations because you're not afraid of having your back turn to a quarterback that can run.

You mentioned Travis Kelsey. He had 14 catches. That was pretty predictable because the Jaguars dead last in the league against tight ends. And that really showed up. Okay, like looking ahead to the game, you know, we're going to talk about Sincet in a couple minutes, but looking at it from a home standpoint and looking at it from a Kansas City standpoint, I

mentioned it since he's tough in the red zone, his time to throw goes way up. That's off the menu now. When you look back at that game, they didn't get Kelsey going in the first half. He didn't have a catch the first half, and then he costs them a game with the fumble. They're going to get a heavy dose of Kelsey.

They're going to try to get him going. Scantling played well as well in that game. The big matchup for me is DJ Reader in Hill Inside. You know, Kansas City, like I said, they're physical, but these guys are a real pain in the ass in the middle. And then how much does Lou Blitzham? Right?

We talked about Jacksonville not getting there. We said they can play more man. You know, like two years ago, something to keep in mind. Patrick Mahomes had turf toe and a concussion coming off that Cleveland game going in the AFC championship, and he absolutely torched the Buffalo Bills. So he's shown before that he's tough enough to do this stuff. and he can overcompensate because he's so talented.

But this injury is a little bit different. On the other side of the ball, when you look back at that game they played in December, at the beginning of December, since he was much more physical offensively, they moved people, whether it was double teams or tight end moving edge guys off the ball. You know, it was a real fist fight, and Kansas City wasn't ready to play. And Chris Jones was kind of quiet. You know, he got a bunch of slide. They trap him.

they do a bunch of bullshit to kind of throw him off his game. If I'm Steve Spagnolo, number one thing I have to do is obviously find an answer for the guys outside because you have matchup problems out there. But where can I get Chris Jones so I have the matchup I want up front? Kappa's not playing. That could be a loss in the run game for them. But where can you put Chris Jones? Can you put him at right end?

Can you get him the one-on-ones? You're going to run twist-dunt. So you're going to design pressures so that you have him matched up with their worst player. Here's what I saw from the right tackle on the Bengals this past week. I saw a guy who was playing his nuts off. I saw a guy who wasn't afraid at all. But what I did see at times were sets that didn't match the situation. And Chris Jones, albeit 6'7, 280 pounds, and a freak of nature,

also possesses a really good game plan and understanding of how the rhythm of the game can dictate what kind of rushes there are. He's going to watch the film. Spaggs is going to see the film. He's going to say, there's times where I want our best rusher, over the right tackle. Because I don't only want to beat the tackle. I want Joe Burrow to see a wave of, you know,

almost seven feet of man running at you. And if you can dent the pocket in the quarterback's vision, it's a problem for the offense. And that is the only, that's the only way that they can get after Joe Burrow because they try to pressure him before and he fucking murders. And the left tackles, I think Carmen's better than the left tackle. so maybe you see him over there some, but I think that's really key. Another thing is, you look back at the coverage splits, you know, they played mostly cover

three. They played like 15% man the first time they played. You could see man go up in certain situations. I would challenge these receivers, man, you know, because he can't extend the play. And another thing is, you know, since he's D-line got after it against Buffalo, let's go to that game, shall we? Oh, that was since we're doing the AFC first. Yeah, yeah.

You know, like, Sinci, number one, you talk about physicality the first time they played Kansas City. They had the answers for these guys up front. Joe Mixon ran the piss out of the ball. Saffold and Dawkins had a tough time on the opposite end in the trenches. They gave a bunch of pressures. So like up front, since he won this game with their skill guys too, but upfront was really where it started. I thought, you know, immediately jumping out to a 14th. nothing lead. You know, the bills had to abandon the run game. And it was a really tall task

for Ken Dorsey in an offense that when you look at this team, I think one of the biggest takeaways, number one, defensively, not being able to exploit the matchups that we just talked about for Cincinnati. You know, when you signed Von Miller, okay, like he was a big part of you getting to where you were at the midpoint of the season. But the depth behind him is not to the point where if Vaughn goes down, you're going to be able to exploit matchups like these. I mean, on one side of the line, you've got Boogie Basham, Shack Lawson, A.J. Epinessa, rushing. Like, that doesn't scare me, right? On the other side, you got Russo. We're not sliding there. We may slide to Russo, or we may have to be aware of Milano adding.

There's nobody that scares you. There's nobody that scares you. And I think that's a big design flaw. Again, I go back to Jerry Hughes. You know, he was in Houston this year. He would have played a huge role down the stretch. You know, and so, like, if you can't exploit that matchup and you can't stop the run, since he just dictated the terms of this game, so the bill is going to the offseason, they need a number two receiver, which is the thing I was going to say about the offense, they double digs, you know, and somebody else had to win. And, you know, like Gabe Davis is a nice piece, but how much of our opinion of Gabe Davis

is formed based on that big show he put on the AFC playoff. last year against the Chiefs. I think they need a really dynamic too. I think they need some rushers going to the offseason, and it cost them. It's, I believed in the bills to be this powerhouse, even without Von Miller, and to see them get absolutely manhandled by the Bengals,

and to see the Bengals first 15 come to action and be so on schedule, so in sync, it was like, turn the difficulty up on Madden or something. Yeah, it did seem too easy. Like, oh, we got to restart this and put it on an all mat. Yeah. Yeah. And another thing you got to worry about with the Bengals is they go into their next game. Ted Karras has a knee issue.

It looked like he got dinged during that game. So another problem up front for them. But again, you're playing Kansas City where I don't think Kansas City scares me up front outside of Chris Jones. I mean, they really don't. So they might be able to slide by again. They were going to be up 213 in that game the first time they played, but they didn't get a fourth and short in the low red zone.

So, you know, like this is a really good matchup for Cincinnati. You know, I think a lot of people undervalued them because of the Ravens game. You know, the Ravens can muddy it up and play these guys tough. When you have a whole week as an offensive line, you can speak to this to get together and say, okay, we're down another guy. How are we going to compensate? They're going to have a good game plan. Yeah.

What about the external sources of motivation? y'all in y'all's run you obviously had the underdog deal going and what's NFL going to do not sell tickets the week ahead but it seems like they really latched on to okay the games to this aFC title game between the chiefs and bills is sold out in Atlanta terrific yeah we're going to come in here and wreck your shit I love that I do think the bangles are young enough but they also have enough guys on that team that that were there a couple years ago when they were one in whatever it was and the DNA of that kind of, like, nobody believes in this team. Like, you can't erase that with one streaky year and ending up in the Super Bowl. Like, this team has that in their DNA. And then this year, with the scheduling, you know, with that game getting canceled,

the first time they played the bills, they were up 7-3 and they were driving. Yeah. Like, this was a bad matchup for the bills all the way through. They felt really confident. Yeah. And so having to go to Arrowhead, having to beat him again. I think the mental strain is more on the Chiefs.

I really do because, you know, it's a not again kind of thing, dude. Like they've lost now to these guys enough times where you're like, this is a pattern, do they own us? Joe Burroughs not going anywhere. You think about Patrick Mahomes, you know, you wake up one day and you're like, this is my conference for the next 10 years. And all of a sudden, you know, it's not just Herbert. It's not just Allen.

Now you've got this guy in Cincinnati who kind of has your number. So I think- And I know he can't wait for this game Even though he's injured I know Patrick is going to be so up for this No question The ultimate competitor No question

Dawson Knox by the way In the Bengals game Cost the guy a million dollars Dude There was a guy who put a parlay in For like what $50 or something I'm thinking about Hayden Hurst It was all it was all

Hayden Hurst played well too Beast, yeah Beast So And Justin Reed knows that You look at this parley This guy put in yes He, he, it was anytime touchdown or first touchdown for all the tight ends. He was first.

It was first touchdown. On a free play too, a $50 free play. $50 free play. Guy puts in first touchdown for all the tight ends. You got Travis Kelsey who's hit. You got Dallas Goddard who's hit. You had Dalton Schultz who's hit Sunday night. But by the time it was Sunday night, Dawson Knox didn't get the first touchdown.

the odds on this thing were insane. It was plus 1.89 million. 1.89 million. And this guy was at Dawson Knox, first touchdown short. It's cruel. Sunday night, this guy watching the game when Dalton Schultz scored the first touchdown.

Yeah, you're rude for that not to have. It just had to be agony. Yeah, free bet. It doesn't help, Kyle. Speaking of betting, are you guys surprised that the chiefs are favorites? I am a little bit surprised. Yeah.

Yeah. Yes. I saw it as a pick-um last night, jumped on SINCY and figuring it would go towards Sinci. It's now Kansas City he won. I thought after Sincis's performance in Buffalo, it was going to be Cincinnati minus one and a half. What am I not seeing? People really weigh this offensive line thing heavy. They really do.

They look at it and they're like another guy down. On the desk this weekend, that's all of it. This off, they got three guys. Here's the thing about office. I'm like, the three guys weren't that fucking good anyway. Yeah, exactly. And the other three guys, they're going to play. Here's the thing about offensive line play in today's NFL.

There's not a lot of great players. I mean, there's some really great players and everything. But the drop off. You know the elite ones. If they're elite, you know them. How many elite guys do they have up front? It's like Tyrant Smith, Trent Williams, Lane Johnson, Brandon, Sheriff, Zach Martin, the list goes on. But how many elite guys did they have up front?

No. None. So, you know, it's one of those things. Like Collins, okay, you know, he's a mauler. Like people were, people would, you know, make fun of his past sets earlier this year, you know, this backup guy, he's got some weaknesses that are different than Lail Collins, but he's not a huge drop off. Okay, you know, Kappa, his backup is a guard. It's not like you're missing T. Higgins and, you know, Mark Chase. It's like, oh my God, we're fucked. You can slide to a guard,

you can help out, you can do all types of stuff. And then, you know, left tackle, I actually think it might be a little bit of an upgrade. So, um, mixing and it's funny how that works. There's always a guy, There's always a guy on a roster where the guy's in the room know that he might be better. Yeah, no, there is. It's funny how that works. I've been saying that. Every team I've ever been on. And that's the thing with Jonah Williams is like Jonah Williams is a high pick.

And Jonah Williams has been up and down. But Jonah Williams is not necessarily one of these guys we're talking about where, you know, that's an elite guy that you can't replace. I mean, it hasn't even been close to it. So I got hurt one time and my backup came in and dominated for seven weeks. I was like, fuck this, man. William Hayes was my backup. And it was a great fucking player.

That guy was an incredible player. I'd have to watch him go in there. And it was like every time he went in, the thing about D-Line play is you can rotate. So William will go in and get a sack, and I'd be like, fuck, I'm going to go. But you don't have that opportunity to know a line. And so you never know. Like maybe this left tackle goes in there and plays great the next two games. And this is his job to lose going to the off season.

So this might be a stupid question, but why does the offensive line never rotate like the D-Line does? Well, I've played a couple rotating tackles. And I can tell you, it's no fun for a defensive end. because you really do want to get into a rhythm and get to know the guy. But from an offensive line standpoint, I think there's very much the same thing, which is like, I want to be in a rhythm. You know, like, we got to play together. The way they're together on a string is way more than we're together on a string

is a defensive line. So if one end of the string is pulling too much, that's going to throw the whole thing off. And if I'm playing against Chris, let's just use right tackle on left end, for example. and let's say one series, let's say it's a 10 play series. The first three plays could be running, play, running, play action. I'm trying to set up my fourth plays game plan with the first three plays. If I come in after four plays and it's just me for my first play against Chris, there's nothing I've built on.

I can't go and – Same thing for a rusher. I can't hit him with a pass set and say, well, he's seen this. It's a boxing match, really. All right. So that matchup is going to be a lot of fun, a lot of fun. And so is the other one on the NFC side. Let's start with the blowout.

Let's start with the blowout. I thought this was the biggest thing was Jalen answering the questions about where his shoulder is. You know, coming in this game, they averaged, I think over the season, like seven quarterback design runs a game. The number was seven this weekend. They ran zone read to death. They ran Zode Reed for over 200 yards. you know, Jalen came out.

That first drive, the shot to Smith early was great. You know, just showed you his touches there. He looks comfortable. They also ran him early. Sanders had a great half out of the gate. You know, you looked at Lane Johnson. You wondered how he'd play. I didn't.

But he played fine. He looked like Lane. I know he's dragging that hip a little bit. He's just crafty. He's crafty. he's such a smart player they put Dexter Lawrence out over him and I was like oh buddy

you know like hold up there buddy helps on the way well help never came and he just had to sit on that bull rush and I know I was like if his hip's okay it's gonna look okay here and he held up and I you know I breathe the sigh of relief he looked really good

I told you that edge rush didn't scare me you know it was more about containing those inside guys. But when you jump out to a lead like that, you know, it just felt like Philly was too much. They just were such a better team. And I, I, this was the one thing. It had to be one play. There's always one play that fucks up your perfect weekend. I thought that, you know, Giants plus eight, maybe with a backdoor cover, maybe in a lower scoring game, but it just wasn't even close. This team's so much better. Your number one receiver, if you're the Giants, is like Darius Slate. And he's like a three somewhere.

Dick James. You couldn't get the run game going. You know, your left guard, your center got just bulldozed. There were times in this game early where the defensive line was so vertical for the Eagles, whether it was Josh Webb blown up a toss crack, Fletcher blown up a QB Reed, Hassan Reddick on third down beating Neil, and then the very next play on fourth down, and this was the desperation play. Fourth and eight.

Fourth and eight. This is like, hey, we're down 14-0. We got to go. Well, at that point it was just seven. It spoke to me how much Brian Dable realized they were outmatched. Yeah, these ones are playing. Yeah, like we got to go. And Hassan comes around on a stunt and runs over the center.

Yeah. And it's turnover on Dow's just loud in that motherfunker. They look pretty healthy on that D-line. Yeah. It was second and five from the plus 37. It's the sweat and reddick sack, third and three. It doesn't make any sense. And then the Redick sack to fourth and eight.

I mean, fourth and eight on the Philly 40. It's a tough, Graham Gano from 58, a punt. If you're going to go, my thing is, let's get some easier yardage on third down. That's one thing that always kind of bothers me. It's like there was a player two in the Bills game where they took a shot on like third and two. Take a chunk. And then, you know, and then it's fourth and two and you punt. And, you know, fourth and eight is one of these situations that feels dire,

especially against that defensive line, but it spoke to how much Dave will realize the gravity of the situation. If you're just as good, you probably punt the ball. Yes, yes. A 58-yard field goaler going forward to a little more desperate. After seeing how outmatched the Giants' word by the Eagles, does it further strengthen the case

that Brian Dayball was a coach of the year type candidate? I hope not. I hope not. I hope it goes the other way because I need Nick Sirianni's ticket to cash. I'm kind of worried about Doug Peterson, but they got beat. Are the votes not already in? Chris, does it give friends to the fact that Ryan Daibble is a great coach?

Yeah. No, he's a great coach. He covered up for a lot of inefficiencies. I think you look at it too. Like Buffalo missed him. You know, I think they just didn't have a lot of talent. What did it say about the Vikings? I think bamboozled.

They went to Minnesota and just, I mean, like ran Donatel out of the building. They were efficient. They moved the ball all day. They couldn't even get. started in Philly. They couldn't even get going. They couldn't establish anything. And, you know, I should mention Jason Kelsey on posting that Ellis kid and pancaking him with one arm. Kelsey just never ceases to amaze me. I keep thinking he's going to get older when he is older. I know he's hurting because I saw him a couple, four years ago when I was on the team,

he was waddling around the building on Mondays. But he just has this, incredible, very specific type of athleticism that's perfect for his position that allows him to play at a high level, even into his 30s. I mean, the guy was all pro this year. He's, he's one of the most respected players in the league, and he's not slowing down. I don't think anybody uses their hands better at the offensive line position than Jason Kelsey. His ability to get underneath guys with his hands. You know, coaches always say, get your pads down, get your pads down, but really the key is get your hand inside. Right. And Jason

Kelsey's a master of that. No question. Both Lane and Jason 26 pass blocking snaps, zero pressures, zero sacks, zero QB hits. That's not even close. Not even close. Not even close. Of course, as we talk about San Francisco

and they're going to be playing Sam Fran, this has been a collision course. You know, I think most people have agreed that they're the best two teams in the NFC. The big matchups going to be, Jordan Milata and Nick Bosa. And on the other side, it's going to be McGlinchie and Hassan Reddick.

So there's two rushers and two offensive linemen. You want to keep your eye on going to this matchup. You know, San Francisco got the win last night. I thought the game was boring as hell. So boring. You know, we grew up. Yeah, we grew up with Troy Aikman and Steve Young

and this robbery was kind of like it was high-powered. It was fun. you know, unfortunately for the Cowboys, it's just a name brand thing and for the Niners, they're making it work with the third string quarterback. But the two quarterbacks that completely

let us down last night, as far as watchability was concerned, one of them is Mr. Irrelevant, and one of them was supposed to be the franchise quarterback of America's team. And so I think that begs the question we asked a couple weeks ago, is this Dak Prescott's last run as a cowboy?

And I think it is. Jerry Jones isn't getting any younger. Skip Bayliss has done with him. He threw his jersey out. Listen, I got an early hollow man for you. It's Skip Bayliss. He's had it with Dak. I've had it with his kitchen. Are we living in a diner? Can you put this up? We've got yellow, black, and white subway tiles over the range. We have a visible microwave.

Gerald, you really like yellow. It's non-concealed. I have a visible microphone. I feel attacked. We have eight-foot ceilings. It's not a very relatable. We have eight-foot ceilings. the guy's living in a diner. There's no way those are 10 foot ceilings. We've got an anchorman poster.

You make your eggs in the morning and you look over at Ron Burgundy. His kitchen is atrocious. There's no way that's his everyday kitchen. It has to be like a man cave. Do you think that's his man cave? Like garage kitchen, that's second. That's the guest house kitchen. That's not the everyday kitchen.

He's like, hey, I've seen this kitchen before. I think I've seen this ugly-ass kitchen before. I don't think it's, you think it's a, you know. You think it's an Airbnb that he goes to every day? I think this might be his house. It might be in his, it might be the second kitchen, maybe in the basement,

maybe there's a watch room, you know, that he has TVs on the screen. Who's putting yellow, black, and white subway tiles in any kitchen? I wouldn't put that in my third kitchen. Don't miss the prop trash can

because there's no bag in there. Right. He had that set up before. That's his jersey trash can. We were talking about that before. It just sits there. One of his friends comes over and accidentally throws something away. He's like, whoa, wait.

What's her name? Like, Griselda? It looks like Mike Tomlin's game room. Geraldine, I need my bucket. Dach's playing like shit again. It's poop again. He really might be a toddler inside. Yeah. A big baby.

He really might be. I don't know. I think this is, I don't think it's an Airbnb. He's got the olive oil out there. behind the range. I think it's very clearly an Airbnb. Okay. Go see if there's a Skip Bayless episode of Cribs.

Google will tell you that Skip Baylis lives in Oklahoma City, but that's likely not where he tapes. He has an Airbnb in L.A. There's a show. There's pills and stuff up there. Look, you don't put your pills out unless you're... Well, maybe they're vitamins.

It is a vitamin. That's a fish oil. Omega-3 fatty acid. Yeah. You still need those in rentals. Anyways, where were we? Dallas. Yeah, they lost the game. Dak threw two picks. Dak almost through Greenlaw, pick six at the end of the game.

It was almost like, fuck, just like that, huh? Yeah, well. One thing that I want to point out was the reps that Tyrant Smith was getting at right tackle against the defensive player of the year. Yeah. And I credit Greg Olson for covering the coverages and the receivers. I think it's awesome, and I learn a ton from watching him. I just wish there was like alignment specific broadcast where it was showing us every replay of every bulrush, every hand swipe.

Because people want to see that. People want to see Trent Williams, you know, against Micah Parsons or Tyrant Smith against Nick Bowes. They do. When you watch film, Kyle, how do you watch it? I watch it inside out. Yeah, I watch the two guards in the center, the first millisecond of the play to see if it's a runner pass or what it is. and then you work out from there, especially like when you're watching Kansas City and Sinci, it's easy because I want to find Chris Jones. It was a boss fight last night. You know, but like there's not enough people watching from the inside out. That's a great idea. An alternate broadcast focused on the line, like another one with like cornerback wide receiver.

I'm just saying you've got two guys here who can do it. You got an O-Lyman, you got a D-Lyman. Yep, there should be options. But I thought Dallas on a short week wore down. you know in the second half 71 yards rushing at 8.43 p.m. This is a 6.30 game. Two hours into the game. Dallas had them 13 rushes for 28 yards.

Okay, so that all changed. And I think just eventually it just became too much for them. San Francisco stuck with it. Purdy, again, like, didn't make the huge mistake. And so I'll credit him. He gets, he's the luckiest man alive. No, I don't think he's the luckiest man alive. He could smell Micah Parthens' breath a number of times.

There were times where the ball would flood out like a duck and nobody would rally to the football. That's what I mean by Lucky. There were some instances where the ball could have gone the other way. He just didn't make the huge mistake. Yes. You know, and Dak made two of them. You know, so I thought, you know, Kittles' catch was the difference in the game.

That drive was the difference in the game. That's where they really started pounding the ball. you know, at the beginning of that drive, there was some conversation, I believe, about how fast they should go. Right. And my whole thing was, you know, you have to remain aggressive on this drive. But it played out exactly perfectly for San Francisco because they had a chunk, I believe it was the beginning of the fourth quarter. They had a big chunk to Kittle, so they got out of the danger zone. Because when, you know, if you're sitting there, you want to keep the momentum going, you want to at least get to midfield.

So you can flip the field and you can change the way they're playing defense on you. They had that big, big reception to Kittle that was a great catch. And then they sank in and ran their offense and they milk clock and they ran the ball. And that's why they won the game. And it was so beautiful how they like snapped the ball with one second left every time, like every single time. It's not a given. That is the difference between a very well-coached team and a team that's well-coached. She should give Purdy some credit.

The end of half, end of game situations, every single player to a man on the Niners' defense and the offense. Which one were they? Very well or well? Very well, coach. The Niners are very well coached. Cut it a little close at the end of the half there did Purdy. Every single guy on that defense knew the situation at the end of the game. We keep him in bounds or we get him out of bounds. Every guy on the cowboy seemingly had no clue. You asked me the value. I was asked last week about the value of Eric B. enemy and why he needs to be a head coach. is in charge of the Kansas City Chief's two-minute, end-of-half, end-of-game situations.

And when you see these big, huge wins and these comebacks and Patrick Mahomes' heroics, a lot of it was installed or all of it was installed every week by Eric B. Enemy. I want to know who's in charge in the Sunday night, in the Saturday night meeting for the Cowboys to say, when we get in this situation, and we will

men, you know that, and we will, this is what happened. When we get in this situation, no timeouts left, five seconds, down a touchdown, we're going to run. The Zique is Mike Webster play. Hey. Now, y'all are clowning.

Hey. But this was going to work. This is the worst play in the history of the ball. Nobody knew who to block. Nobody knew who was getting the ball. What's so funny about a play like that, Kyle, to your point is like they rep it. We've wrapped it every week. No, we wrap it once a week. They slide it in there in a walk through. They're like,

okay, now we'll do it end a game. And everybody's like ready to go to the locker room. Everybody's out there jacking off. And you don't pay attention. Fucking Zeeke isn't doing his past sets Zeeke needs to be doing his past sets he needs to be getting his anchor down a lot sooner than he did here

It's mad disrespectful that he played with two of the best offensive linemen to ever play the game and he doesn't know to sit on over it looks like he's doing this as a joke I think they just didn't count on him getting blown up They're like okay Nobody's gonna rush him This is my first thought when he snapped the ball

Was like has he been working on his past bro The way he got run over was one of the funniest things I've ever seen the amount of time that they took to huddle up and like dudes were discussing this play. Like guys were like having full-blown conversations about this play right here. And he just gets fucking run over. Nobody is moving. Nobody is that.

They can't get a pitch because he just look. But then he's, see, the top of the screen, he's got the convoy of the O-Liman. They pitch you right back to him and he's gone. Bro, Ward has a 12-yard head start. Like, this is telegraphed. All right, hit the end cut. Boom. He's just laying there.

Season over. My biggest pep even football is when teams get tackle with the ball with no time left. Just throw it behind you. You don't even have a chance to do that in this play. Kellen Moore, he might have a head coaching job lined up, and they might call them and say, hey, you know what, no thanks. Yeah. Because that was...

You're going to find out who was in charge of installing that play because it's not always the office of coordinator. I think it was Jerry Jones. But hey, I would much rather see my team trot this out than the typical pitchy-pitchie-w-woo, which never works. This... This is also... So you save yourself...

You save yourself like 10 seconds of agony here. This is all... Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. This is a bad play. Hey, but you see all those old linemen up there at the top? I want to know what they're ready. Can you run it back to pre-stack?

The funniest shit was before this place started, somebody was like, this is what Stanford Steve said to did. Somebody up in a live watch was like, this is exactly what Stanford Steve said. He's so smart. Look at this. All these old linemen are going to be out there. They're just out there fucking picking daisies, man.

Y. Hilton's like, well, I think they had to wait. Yeah. No, I know. It just didn't work. It was caught. It didn't work. How about John Lynch running onto the field? Your general manager running on to midfield.

How about John Lynch shaking hands. How about how quickly John Lynch got down from the booth that Reed said it read was like, holy shit, he was just up there. That's an elevator right outside. That's a fly on the wall. Fly on the wall finding out one who installed it. Let's get those people.

Odis has that thing on time. Otis. Yeah. You can lock the elevator so no other floor can get it. They can just go straight down. But also like how his suites right next to the elevator, which is right next to the field. Yep.

You know, it's incredible. Yep. the operation time on that. Yeah, because he was right there saying Dalton Schultz incomplete and he was down by the end of the review. He was shaking people's hands. He was out. He was out. With 20 seconds to go in the game.

Tough two plays for Dalton. We haven't talked about Maher. That first kick, man. Wasn't going in. Brutal! You need to drive the ball more. He's definitely, I mean, he's right there. Like, that ball is supposed to go up, not straight.

I know that. He goes banged as hard as he could. With the laser, they go, we've got to get this thing up here, right, Brett? Yeah, well, I don't know. It might be Viscano in the laser next week. They said before the game, Jerry Jones was out there, and Maher was missing kicks, and Jerry Jones went out and had it talking to. I already was smelling his breath.

See if he was out there off the sauce. Yeah. So who do you guys like in the NFC championship? I'm going to go ahead and wait. What's the line? Three, two, one, nine. What's the line? Two and a half.

Eagles? Yeah. I would say buy into three and take in San Francisco would be the play. Just buy to three and take San Francisco. Three, two, one. I think it's Philly. I think it's a better team. Philly's the better team because they have the better quarterback right now.

You know, like when you look at Brock Purdy and you look at Jalen Hertz, like their defensive line is arguably overall better. they have better corners. Let's see. I mean, you know, San Francisco has a leg up in a lot of areas, but I don't think any of them are areas that the Eagles can't overcome. Having said that, I will be zero shocked if San Francisco wins this game. I'm not middling.

It's early in the week for me. I can give you who I'd probably bet with a gun to my head. I'd probably buy to three and say this is going to be a field goal game either way. when these teams played each other a year or two ago, early in the season, I think it might have been actually last year because it was the game Brandon Graham got hurt. It was like the most physical game I've ever seen. I mean, it was just a bloodbath. And I expect more of that.

It really comes down to those matchups on the edge that I talked about. You know, there's a whole bunch. Jalen needs to win in the middle of the field. That's an area that San Francisco's had absolutely on lock. You know, with Fred Warner and the way Domek, Eko calls his defense. That's going to be an area that Jalen, Jalen Hertz has got to exploit at times, even though they're great.

Niners won 1711, now two Septembers ago. Yep. But leading receivers for Philly, Cuez Watkins can have gained well. Things have changed. Yeah. Things have changed. But the physicality on that field Sunday is going to be much the same. Even if it plays out and it's a little bit of it, and they open this game up a little bit more,

I think it's just going to be a fucking, yeah, it's going to be a slug fest. Big hits, big blocks on the edges. Yep. A lot of guys doing some blue collar shit out. When's the last time the Eagles played the Niners in the playoffs? I feel like this is a matchup with high stakes. Donovan McNabb, Jeff Garcia. Yeah.

That's what I'm going to say. Probably. Eagles Niners playoff history. Yeah, I was wrong. 96? 96. 14-0-9ers. 96 wild card.

So we haven't seen this a lot in the playoffs. Who play? Who's the quarterback? Well, 96. Yeah, that's my question. Steve Young for sure. All right. Oh, in 96?

For the Eaks. It wasn't Doug Peterson, was it? It was... Randall Cunningham. Nah. No, it's that in-between kind of weird. Frank Reich. Yeah, I don't remember.

Nobody tell us. It's a blind spot for me. Nobody, nobody say it. Randall Cunningham. Randall Cunningham. That's 95. Jay Fiedler. Is that right?

Ty Deppmer? And Steve Young. Tide Deppmer. That's it. Talking about an interplanetary war. So let me ask you this. What's the best and worst uniform matchup in the Super Bowl? Great question.

The worst is going to be red on red. If we get San Francisco, Kansas City, that's just... And we've just seen it. Kansas City goes white and San Francisco goes red. It doesn't help. I think it does. Oh. I think Bengals Eagles would be hideous.

That'd be kind of cool. Green and orange. Actually, it's not going to be that great. It's just not going to be that great. Either way. Yeah. One final thing I want to say that we didn't say about the Chiefs game is... I got one of those two.

I give credit to the Jaguars for doing everything they did this year and Doug Peterson and Trevor Lawrence for the strides they make. And I think that that loss against the Chiefs was a good learning opportunity for those young players whose first playoff experience was last week and the wildcard game. I think that there were a few big plays away from taking down the Chiefs and they'll be back. Well, they were drop away.

They'll be back. Christian Kirk drop, Agnew Fumble. Like, there were real opportunities to win that game. Ingram, by the way, is going to make a lot of money. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Much to your shit. I figured that out. I do not appreciate Coach Andy Reid

playing for the Jags backdoor cover as a nine and a half better. They got the improbable fumble in the red and then went three and out and they got the improbable pick and they went three and out again. One first down and it's a 10 point win. Yep. I felt like I deserve that.

Jags betters deserve that. One away from a perfect weekend. Bad beat? Is that what they call that? No, I don't think it was a bad beat. It just was a beat. It was a backdoor cover. It wasn't a bad beat. Yeah. And it was telegraph.

You knew Jacksonville was going to come down and Doug was going to do the smart thing and kick the field. You knew it. You know it because he's smart. Yep. So, I like Trevor Lawrence. I like Trevor Lawrence more after this year and after these playoffs. Yeah.

Hey, can anybody just take away Kelsey? This is a serious question. No. But like, can Anorumo dial something up? Yeah. To take away a tight end. He did. The whole first half of that first game.

And Trey Flowers, who's probably going to be the, the Kelsey guy, was hurt this week. get him back. They had a plan from the first, the first game. Yeah. The Jags just don't have a plan for any tight end. Okay. So, and I think that's a lot of the reason why Evan Engram had a great year. It's like, he's so used to torturing the Jags in practice that he's like,

I was just like practice, you know, it's like, yeah. Confidence. That's a good. I like that. Yeah. It's a risky strategy because then you get torched by Travis Kelsey, but it does build Evan Ingram's. confidence. Kelsey, four for 56 against Sincere only six targets. Yeah, and the B for success. And the big

fumble. And we talked about this all the time. Von Bell, who had a great game. You know, like, he's one of those guys in secondary that can create turnovers. I've mentioned a lot of the big turnovers that they've created over the season, especially in the back end. Pratt had the big fumble forced in that game. You know, you add that to, you know, the force fumble in New England game. Force fumble late in the season a couple times that they had where they were just really ball aware. That's one of the hallmarks of lose defense. The best moments in a sports fan's life are in football season.

I'm not talking about September. I'm not talking about the first week in October. I'm not even talking about the second week in October. I'm talking about when it gets colder, the temperature drops, the games get bigger, the hits get harder, and you can curl up and watch some meaningful football. I like to do it with a Miller light from the fridge and a cold frosty mug from the freezer.

frosty mug meat a cold beautiful can of Miller light from my fridge that's teamwork we come together we can make a great play out there and the best play to make on a Sunday is a nice cold Miller light and a frosty mug at home that's my favorite thing maybe a fire in the fireplace yeah now we're talking but Miller light it's an original and it's more than that it's been a fan favorite since 1975 the best part no matter how your team plays Miller light is always always a winner. The perfect beer for Sundays. I gave you the hot tip. Having that frosty mug is a lot like having home field advantage. I mean, like, it just makes everything better for your boy and your boy's friends who file in every Sunday to enjoy cold, ice cold, Miller light

at my house. I mean, we have a lot of people over, and I got to have the Miller light stocked up. A lot of light beer cuts back on the most crucial ingredient flavor, which is 96 calories and 3.2 carbs per 12 ounce serving. Miller Light, quick on its feet, heavy hitting on flavor.

Yeah, yeah. It's got to be Cincinnati. That's right. It's got to be since. There's no other flights. Leaving in the snowstorm. Yeah. On your way to the crib,

getting ready for the AFC championship game. Yep. It's kind of scary leaving in the snowstorm. But once you're up and over the ceiling, which was probably low. Then it's that orange glow. Oh, it's beautiful. You see the sun where you see the sun,

you haven't seen the sun in 36 hours. You beat the bills. You see the sun. I don't mean to jump on. I know this is going to be a mention later, but maybe they do a lap around the city. You know, the snow's coming down. They can see it floating around.

Yeah, it's beautiful. Maybe they do a lap. Beautiful. See where they, the city they conquer. I'd be like, what are we doing? Worst plane ride. I'm going to go to the owners that Damiko Ryan's canceled on.

You know, last week you said maybe he should just say, hey, no thanks to the meetings. I want to project my focus. And my attention to detail, well, he did that halfway through his four interview lineup this weekend. He was like, hey, I've had enough. Maybe he didn't want the first two jobs, but he wanted the second two jobs. And this was his way of showing those franchises that he's preparing to coach a football game. But what rich people don't like doing, and I'm talking about these really rich people,

is they don't like going somewhere for nothing. Okay? So like worst plane ride, the two owners that had to turn around on their G5s and go back to wherever the fuck it was. Those two owners, the Cardinals and the Colts. Colts, Ursa had to go a long way. And by the way, did you hear this week that the Ursae McDaniels story broke? I don't know if you guys remember, but I've been saying for, I don't know, ever since I found out about this thing five years ago, I never wanted to say it out loud.

But I've told you guys there was a reason that Josh McDaniels didn't take that job. And the thing I had heard five years ago was that Josh McDaniels went, you know, had Ursae over to the house or whatever was, and Ursay was acting erratic as fuck. He was in the bathroom for a while. Like an hour. Yeah, like a long time, like dumb and dumber. But not the same reasons. You're right in there? And Josh and his wife decided, hey, this doesn't look like a stable situation.

And they backed out of the job. And so Josh became this villain, but he didn't. didn't tell people why he backed out of the job. And this weekend, that story came out of left field. Somebody broke it. And I thought to myself, that's exactly the same story I heard five years ago. He's a, he's a, he's a bowelist. No, he's a bowelist.

I don't think he's a bowelist. Oh. Yeah. Or say stomach hurt. Yep. So worst plane ride. Also, Dylan Brooks' worst plane ride. Yeah.

You know? Like you got to get online, read the mentions. Unless it was. Nobody likes you. Everybody sided with Shannon Sharp. Nobody thinks you can beat Shannon Sharp up. Unless it's a stunt. His own team doesn't like him because he's a ball hog.

He's a ball hog. I found that out this weekend. Dresses like Guy in GTA. Here's one. Not that jacked. I always thought he was like Jack. Here's another reason why I think I can be up a lot of NBA players. When you see Desmond Bain on the court, you're like, oh, that guy's yoked.

Yeah. I saw him in the locker room. I was like, oh my God, he's got the body of a teenager. Like, I work out. I train three times a week. I think I might be able to throw them around. You know, I'll throw them around for Shannon. They're all built like Macon.

But I'm starting with Kevin Herder. Thank you. Nice. You're healthy looking. Yeah. Thanks. I just told you you look like an NBA player. Yeah, I know.

Thanks. Who would win Stephen Adams versus Kyle? Just about the way. I think I got Kyle. It would come down to a wrestling match. A lot of why I think Stephen Adams could beat people up is predicated on his accent, his face. And how many kids are. kids lived in his house.

They were like, you know, when there's 14 kids in the house, you got to fight. Like, they're fighting. Stephen Adams has a sister. Her name is Valerie. Careful. Do you know of Valerie Adams? No. She is a gold medal.

She's 6'4, 260 pound, gold medal New Zealand. Now, I might have Valerie Adams over you. Valerie Adams. If you go to the images, this is what genetic superiority looks like. Yes. Stephen Adams and the Adams And he's not that much taller than her. All right, so here's the thing.

She'd kick my ass. So Kyle, I've never seen Stephen Adams fight. Wow. Now, I know he grew up fighting. I've seen you fight and you're also a very big guy. So I actually got Kyle. Okay. Hopefully I never have to do that because I like Stephen Adams.

Yeah, well, Stephen Adams is great. Juxtaposed to meeting Javelle McGee at the club. I met Stephen Adams. He was cool as a cucumber. Really? He was the coolest guy ever. I hope all three of us, we run up on Javelle McGee's. I don't want to run up on Javelle McGee.

I like Javelle McGee. He's got a water charity. All I'm saying is, I want to like him. He doesn't like us. Maybe that was why he walked by me. He's like, we can't. Frere enemies. Fremies.

We're both, yeah. So that's a good. Full circle. Hey, here's a bad plane ride. The Dallas Cowboys. Yeah. They ended up losing in the NFC divisional round. Their season will not continue.

Yeah, that's true. Niners move on to Philly. Yeah, that's true. I didn't think about that. Yeah. That's a tough one. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, from out of left field, the Dallas Cowboys.

Hey, and Dak, that website we like with the salary cap hits, if accurate, Dax's the second highest cap hit among quarterbacks next year, second only to Deshaun Watson. Crazy. Yep. How are both those things going? Bad spot for Dallas. Can we roll on to the other mentions here?

Sure. You got one here. St. Louis Memorial we talked about earlier, but Tyrant Smith are right tackle against Bosa. I think Greg Olson, as I said before, he's great and insightful, but I was just disappointing the defensive player of the year was getting kind of handled by an out of position Hall of Famer. And they didn't even show replays of it. Yeah.

No question. They should have showed more replays. Chad Hennie, bawling in obscurity. Only gave him a drive. Might have won by more if they had kept him out there. He gave him the drive. Hey, there were two third downs on that drive and they threw it on both the third downs, both the Browns.

Game winner play. Did you notice that? I did. Pacheco had the big one, as you said, during that drive. So he's five or seven for, for, like 23, but that was big time. DeMara Hamlin's family. I couldn't

see him. I couldn't see him. You want to talk about ball in his obscurity? Somewhere beyond this frozen waterfall. It could have been paid actors up there. I'm looking at the field. It was the dealer no deal suite. We need to have a camera

trained on that suite before the game before the snow, just so you have some B-roll of the family. I thought we were micing up like, you know, adjacent drug dealers to do a story on gangland. There was just silhouettes. Everybody was,

people were going to be talking in the robot voice. We're more happy to be here. Damar's tracking well. It was just, the snow was, it was impenetrable, and they just kept showing the same shot.

They were like, let's check back on Damar Hamlin's family who's in a blizzard somewhere. And the thing was, it would be like third down, and the bills will be on defense, and they're like,

come on Bill's fans let's hear and DeMar Hamlin's here and they're like okay the fans could see though we just at home couldn't see because there was six feet of snow they were using him as a prop at times for stadium noise and I didn't like it if DeMar's okay with that no I know

demars I think I think you can use it I think there should have been a video pregame and then you use them once like when you need them once when you need them you get down a little bit big third down it's like they showed Jerry Rice the Niners game like they kept showing him yeah same deal Nice helmet chain, Jerry.

Couldn't see him. Couldn't see him. Ball in obscurity. It was the dealer no deal suite. Yep. Oh, Beville Conway. Niners Cowboys. You know, Niners Cowboys, for sure.

But I also want to nominate the Buffalo Bills aerial view of that stadium. It looked like a fucking snow globe, man. That thing was gorgeous. There was a tweet I had yesterday. It was that picture. And then it was the future of America. Dome Stadium. Minneapolis.

Remember when all the snow fell on the roof there and it imploded? That looked like shit on the aerial. Good tweet. Yeah, thank you. Yeah. I'll give a viewing party right now. Okay. Tom Brady watching all these young quarterbacks.

Yeah. Trying to figure out weighing the options. Obviously, he's got big bags at Fox if he wants them. But, you know, a lot of people are talking Vegas. And if he goes to Vegas, he's got to play against Herbert. He's got to play against Mahomes. I don't know if he wants to do that. I just don't know if he wants to increase the difficulty again next year.

Viewing party, Calvin Ridley. Yes. Remember him? Wow. Yeah, he's watching the Jags game. I can help these guys. Wow. I think I'll put in a Jags future.

What was that deal? What went the other way? Like a late round pick. Yeah. Wow. Their receiver room is going to be stacked because I think Christian Kirk actually played up to that contract. Yeah, he did. He did.

Yeah, except the drop. Hey, I have my bet on those. guys next year? Yeah. Yeah. That's what I said. You just said that? Yeah. I said he might play a Jacksonville future. Fly on the wall? Yeah, sure.

What was said when Chad Hedy came in the huddle? You know, or what was said when Patrick Mahomes first came to the sideline and Chad was warming up? And Chad didn't go immediately and Patrick went to the bench and he came back out. I'd love to know what what was missing. Was somebody not warm was the tape not ready

that's what I want to know as always I want to be privy to those NFL meetings where they're talking about the neutral game are they really rooting for the neutral game yeah I do I think they are I think they are and they know they got us because we're going to watch

and then we're going to go we're going to spend yeah fly on the wall what are you thinking at home right now do you like the show yeah yeah you know are you still listening I want to go to the guy in the car. Do you like the show?

Yeah. Drop us your cash tag and your opinions. Yep. If they're positive. I don't have a fly on the wall. Hollow man. Jesus. Ezekiel Elliott.

Yikes, literally. Tony Pollard broke a leg. I mean, like, you know, it's going to be a while. Yep. I think of my hollow man to Josh Allen. Yeah. You know, there's a few people you could choose from here. You could go DAC.

I mean, like, DAC, who knows what his future holes. Maher. Brett Maher going in the offseason. I mean, just think about like your mental health, man. Like as a football player, it's so hard to do our jobs effectively. But when you only get one shot and you blow it like a number of times. Like five times? Yeah, like five times.

You get five shots. You blow them all. And then the offseason starts. And like this is your whole identity. Like he can't go play golf with his friends this offseason with his like, you know, rich Dallas friends. He can't make the tea time. Somebody else has to make the tea time so his name's not on it because people aren't going to

recognize. I'm just going to see a guy who looks like he's in finance. No, I'm on Bill Mar. I promise. Yeah. Bill Marr. Well, Bill Mar at least is a centrist. He can at least at least Bill Mar can get it down the middle. You know, like, but no,

I think that's tough going to the off-season. Like, everybody you walk past in the grocery store, you're like, do you, does he know that I'm Bill Mar. That's tough. Hollow man. 33 years old. Probably can't go back to Dallas.

There's not a lot of other opportunities. Yeah. Hollow man, everybody who ever sees me that says, Chris. Yeah. I'm like, yeah.

Yeah. I get Howie a lot. Do you? Yeah, Howie. I never get Howie. I always get Chris. I get, hey,

how's Chris a lot. I get Kyle. I get Jake. Jake. People call me Jake. The old wrestling coach from Stab, Kenny Chernouskis, State Championship coach.

He was at the airport yesterday, and the first thing he said, why aren't you flying in a private jet? Like he yelled it at me across the airport, and I was like, look, I don't know who you are. He introduced himself, I introduced myself. He proceeded to call me Jake for the next hour and a half. And you never corrected him.

No. Sometimes I won't correct people either. That draft was now 15 years ago. Yeah, crazy. We're old. Yeah, we are old. Can I give a Hollow Man real quick? Yeah, sure.

Sean McDermott, punting on fourth and two, down 14. That was bad. I hate it. I didn't like that either. You've really turned into the fourth down decision bot personified. Hollow Man, Dalton Schultz. Yeah. Oh, that was bad.

But, you know, it's not like they were probably going to win, but yeah. This is unfair, but I had a thought that Mike McCarthy might not know the forward momentum rule. Oh, yeah. What are you talking about? Yeah, I know. It's ridiculous. I mean all these little rules and I'm sensitive to it because I sat in all these meetings but the clock runs if you go out backwards even or backwards you have to be moving for

like these are points that are yeah iterated reiterated how about the digs catch or uh wasn't the digs catch it was the uh chase catch in the back of the end zone call it's caught it twice catch or no catch I mean like we don't know catch in the middle of the field but I'm talking like just a situational yeah just everything calls are going to be the call I got a question.
