Great football! We start in Kansas City where it was a cold January game and the Texans reminded everyone of Mayweather the way they struggled with Reid. The game started with an explosion as Niko Bos-Romegio returned the kick, forcing Chris Boyds of London to put his special team's coaches' manhood up for sale after he shoved him on the sidelines. Travis Kelseman was anything but a white bust as he came out ahead and had the stickiest of hands.

PJ Stroud and Grandpa Joe Mixon tried to to end this chief's dynasty to bed I screwed that up he tried to put this chief's dynasty to bed but it was Patrick Mahomes who had the golden ticket and the everlasting ref stoppers making the Texans the ones who kicked the bucket in other news Caitlin Clark and Taylor Swift submitted a box of the year nominee at Arrowhead Saturday as the Chiefs booked their ticket to the Kansas City Invitational. Chiefs 23, Texans 14. We go to Ford Field as the Lions hosted the commanders in a biblical showdown with Daniels

entering the Lions' den. David Montgomery came back from a knee injury, but Lions fans were screaming, what Gibbs? as Jameer was taken off the field despite gashing the commanders like the Roman Senate. Washington got a miracle from their Terry Godmother as McLaurin slipped through the screen like it was a take on me music video. In response, Ben Johnson & Johnson was forced to take an experimental shot down field as the lines trailed by 10 and the commanders got the ball back. And as my good friend Eminem would say, Hi, my name is what my name is who my name is. Fricker Fricker. Quinn Shady. And Mikey Sand was still my bones collapse, shut Jared down

for some minor mistakes like a subway marketing representative The Dan elitics tilted chords and commanders with Washington being even more aggressive than Campbell and a case of my Dan can beat Up your Dan Detroit coach Dan Talaka tried to reload singing give me Peney So give me fire give me that which I desire who desire. But Quinter Sandman showed up saying, I've got Jaden and nothing else matters. The Washington Commanders are going to the NFC Championship Game? Huh? Huh?

Huh? 45-31, Commanders win. Left hand up. We head to Snowy Philadelphia where Max Celente was on the scene. We head over to Philadelphia where the birds were shitting on the Rams D early, but Jake Smelliot was once again acting extra smelly as he stinks at kicking, stinking extra points. After a stellar run game by the birds, the fourth quarter came a knockin' And J. Kwong Barkley was tellin' the Rams defense

Two, here comes the two to the six to the line Now I'm lookin' at Hurts right in his eyes Tell him, hey man, I got this for the guys Couple seconds passed, now they're chasin' my big thighs Everybody in the club gettin' TDs Everybody in the club gettin' TDs But after a sh-pants shitting comeback by L.A. Everybody in the club getting TDs, everybody in the club getting TDs. But after a sh- pants shitting comeback by LA, Jalen Cowboy Carter told the Ramso line,

this ain't LA, you can't hold me, so LA Matt Stafford down, down, down, down. Eagles win! 28, 22. And we finish in western New York where Josh Jimmy Fallon swept aside all the allegations of looking drunk and breaking character in the playoffs and he stumbled and bumbled for two touchdowns giving the Bills an 11 point halftime lead. But the LiAngelo Baltimore Ravens came out swerving and hitting that quarter woo in the second half as tractorcito

running up feels like Mike Florio legal fees he's a lawyer boom scored a touchdown to make it a game mark Aaron Andrews should have been on the sidelines instead of in the game as he dropped a two-point conversion sending Buffalo off to the AFC Championship game and no one circles the wagons like the Buffalo Bills. The Bills, 27. The Ravens, 25. And that was the fastest two minutes, divisional round, fastest two minutes

Chevrolet, together, let's drive. And that was an incredible weekend of football. So incredible. We had to drop a little new intro for the people out there. I think it's a good time to do it. Yeah, thank you to the... The, the Armantani brothers and little legends. They put that together for us. We just want, we want to get people jacked up for, that was one of the best weekends

of football. I mean all the games, three out of four were like very, very close. Your game, PFT, which we'll get to, we got a lot to talk about, wasn't really close, but it was an awesome, awesome game. That might've been the quarter of the week the second quarter in that game high Scoring quarter in NFL history that was insane insane But yeah, we deserve that. Yeah, just soaking it love it. We have so much to talk about and somehow Next Sunday. Yeah, that seems like it's an even bigger day I mean the script writers went off especially for this show God is an AWL I think we can all shout out the G man yeah sorry about all that V talk last

week God I'm not God loves vagina you think yeah he definitely does yeah he created it hundred percent okay let's get into it let's just hop right into out of a rib out of a rib yeah imagine that fellas next time you're at you're at Ruby Tuesdays Or Applebee's look at those ribs. Just be like that could be a vagina. Yeah, Oz the Mentalist I haven't seen you do that. No try try creating a vagina out of a rib, dude. Can't be done. All right Yeah, I don't think anyone expected that little Tangent number one sports. Yeah, we're talking ribs and vaginas. All right Chiefs 23 Texans

14 oh Boy, there's a lot to talk about here. I have this is my two things can be true game. Yeah the first thing can be that the Texans got absolutely screwed by penalties and the second thing that can also be true is the Chiefs deserve to win this game because they outplayed them in special teams and they made big, you know, defensive stands and they made big plays to Travis Kelsey. And as much as it sucks, it's like, yes, did the Texans get screwed? Of course they did.

The roughing the passer penalty in the first quarter that led to a field goal where that one was kind of like, you can't even put yourself in a position where you're going helmet to helmet on a quarterback because you just know that's probably gonna get called. I thought the one that happened, I think, in the third quarter, the unnecessary rough roughness where the Texans hit each other Yeah, and my home slid underneath them that led to a touchdown

That one was absolutely bullshit And if you're Texans fan you have every you probably weren't gonna win the game because you didn't execute in the big moments And especially special teams But if you're a Texans fan, you have every right to bitch about that for the next week straight. Like I'm talking, you know, video replay, slow mo replays, replying to every chief's tweet, just being upset. You have every single right in the, in the, in the legal court of the internet go off. I saw a picture of Patrick Mahomes kissing a referee.

Yeah, I did too. I can't believe that they just let that happen. I'll one up you. I saw a picture of Andy Reid blowing a ref. I saw that too. Yeah. Yeah, Andy Reid was on his knees on the sidelines. But the one where Patrick Mahomes

is kissing a referee on the lips, I don't know how, if you're the NFL, you can let the Chiefs get away with that. Yes. Something should be done about that But yeah to your point big cat the Texans they were the first team that outgained an opponent by a hundred yards Had zero turnovers and lost a game in the playoffs. That's now kind of bullshit But diving deeper into what you said they had a kick blocked. They missed an extra point

Yeah, they missed a field goal and you could tell that kai me fair baron First of all, not not a cold weather name Second when he went out there wearing the full-on sub-zero mask. Yeah the full ski mask He was not he the cold was in his head. Yeah, so That and then there's the big return that they let up right off the bat Stroud also got sacked eight times He got banged up early too and And there were just pressures up his dick. Right, I saw that stat.

That stat was bullshit because not only did the Chiefs intentionally take a safety and lose like 27 yards at the end of the game, which would have made that not a hundred yard difference. The Chiefs also had 110 yards of kick returns. Which, I mean, you could win a game. Well, most of you were on that first one. Yeah. Well, 64, they had some other good kick returns. Like you mean, you could win a game. Well, most of them were on that first one. Yeah, well, 64.

They had some other good kick returns. Theoretically, you could have a 99-yard kick return every single time and win a game with four yards of offense. Yeah, that's true. So that was misleading. The Texans just have a right to be upset, and I don't think that's what... They screwed up the game in so many other ways.

Not to mention, the special teams teams that was atrocious and we said it when it was happening. Kimi Fairbairn was he looked like sub-zero. Yeah he was he was not that is not a cold weather kicker. Yeah you can't you can't wear that much cold weather gear and uh like exude any type of confidence for your teammates. No the weather was up. The weather was up by 11 points before kickoff. So on those plays, it leads me to one thing I've been talking about for the last couple years, which is the in-studio analysts. The in-studio analysts that do these network games,

this guy on ESPN was a guy by the name of Russell Yerke, who we've never heard of before. We thought he might be AI, because the picture of him looked like he was AI. They showed his picture on the screen for about two seconds. Then they'd take it away. This guy was the guy who headed up the oversight

for instant replay for a dozen years in the NFL. He is a computer program. His job, he was not a ref. He was the head of replay officiating. So he might as well be just a piece of software code. Right. I'm sick of the replay guys, the analysts getting on TV and just being like, yeah, the refs are right. Right. That was a good call. The, the unnecessary roughness against my homes was complete bullshit. The one where they hit him in the pocket. That was bullshit too, because it was the chest that made contact with his shoulder.

And then yeah, his face or his helmet got close to the problem. Close to the face mask afterwards. That was bullshit. But again, if the chiefs get any breaks and games, they capitalize on they always do. And also the Texans might be circled as being like one of the teams that refs take a closer look at because of the way they reacted to the Al Shair suspension thing, which is complete bullshit also, but also the matchup of Chris Jones going up against this Texans offensive line on the field in between the lines in between the whistles that was dominant.

The so disruptive. Yeah. He and Carl Loftus was incredible. I mean, he was, he was just wrecking them on big, big plays. The Texans, that fourth and 10 that they ran, where they weren't really set, didn't call a timeout, that was like an enormous play. And it just felt like outside of the penalties,

which were egregious, the Chiefs did what they do. They execute big time situations situations like that throw to Travis Kelsey where Mahomes was completely parallel to the ground. Those type of plays, the big third downs. I do want to say, so Russell Yerke, loser. Troy Aikman, shout out Troy Aikman because I like that he has just basically I don't know when it happened But he essentially is just like I'm gonna be brutally honest all the time and say fuck it if he watches a bad football game he's gonna tell you it's a bad football game and his Point on Patrick Mahomes was spot-on that Mahomes as great as he is and he is the best

Right now in the NFL. He's going for a three-peat, which has never happened in the NFL. He's going for a three Pete, which has never happened in the NFL. His thing where he lets up per like he lets up on purpose to try to get goat players into hitting him is bullshit. It's bullshit. Like you can't. It's so hard for defenders to hit a quarterback in today's NFL. It's essentially impossible, and they have all the rights the quarterback does in terms of how they can dictate how the play is going to go. And he called out that one specific play where Mahomes, it wasn't even one of the penalties. It was Mahomes essentially who was scrambling and like almost stood still waiting for a guy to hit him illegally or hit him out of bounds. And I wish my homes

didn't do that because he didn't have to. Yeah. That's the one thing he doesn't have to do that. But also it's, it is a smart play by my home zoo because he gets those calls all the time, which is it, which is like the, the same thing that you were saying. It's, it's two things are true. He's doing the right thing in terms of how to win a football game that works. It sucks to watch. It sucks to be a defender. The only thing that needs to happen, the NFL needs to change the rule or they need to, what they should do. This is actually a perfect example of what the NFL should do with replay. That's a pretty cut and dry one where you can watch on replay and say, is this an out

of bounds hit or not? Right. And it's, it's no different than the NBA when guys used to try to jump into people to get a shooting foul. Yeah. Like, it's guys were doing that because they were calling it. You need to figure out a way to not call it as much so that Mahomes isn't, you know, benefiting from it, because then he'll stop doing it. Yeah, if that's the rule, then he's going to continue to do it as long as it's helping his team out. I actually thought the Texans defense, for the most part, at least in terms of their cornerbacks, played pretty good.

They played really well. Stingley and Lasseter gave up zero catches. Zero catches. That's pretty fucking good. Counterpoint, they just didn't account for Travis Kelce. Right, but Stingley and Lasseter played awesome. The game plan of like, oh, we think Travis Kelce's over the hill, that's's just not true because Travis Kelsey continues to be a monster in the playoffs

He went for seven catches 117 yards in a touchdown Travis Kelsey That is his 14th straight game with over 70 playoff game with over 70 yards in those 14 Games he is averaging. These are all playoff games, he is averaging eight and a half catches, 99 yards and over a touchdown per game. Like, you probably should have worried about Travis Kelsey a little bit more. And that way, we said this on Friday, when we were doing the preview,

when the Chiefs get in the playoffs, it's Mahomes with his legs and Travis Kelsey on third down, and you just know that it's gonna be there, and it was there when they needed it and that was the difference in the game. Like if you don't let Travis Kelsey beat you, maybe the Texans win that game. I don't know, at the end of the day,

the Texans just didn't execute in special teams more than anything and not blocking, it felt like there was multiple times that the Chiefs needed a big play on defense and Spags would dial something up and they would send a blitzer at the right off the Karloftis would win a one-on-one and they would get that big sack and get him into negative plays It sucks because I thought CJ shroud was he played well and he was tough as fuck because he got absolutely killed a few times

It looks like he got hit out of bounds when he was running in the first quarter And then he was significantly hampered when he was trying to run after that. By the end of the game, he was just torn. He got hit again too, I think, later in the game. He was torn up. But yeah, the Chiefs defense played really well. I just think that the Texans, they played a lot better than a lot of people thought that they would.

Yeah, they only scored one touchdown though. You look at it and you're like, okay, you left a bunch of points on the field with your field goal unit, you hurt your defense by giving up a bunch of kick returns. And then you scored one touchdown, like you can't win a game scoring one touchdown against the Chiefs in Arrowhead in the playoffs. We do a thought experiment real quick. Yeah. Okay. Imagine the Kansas City Chiefs had never won a Super Bowl. Would people be

rooting for the Chiefs in these playoffs? Would they be a team that's fun to watch that still? No, you don't think so? I wouldn't say they're fun to watch compared to the teams left. Yeah, I mean, so would it be the Chiefs have the same history, but they never would they have gotten as far and like falling short? Yeah, I guess that's a question you have to ask. Because then, yes, I think they teams, people would have been rooting for Mahomes, kind of like a Josh Allen or Lamar where it's like, if he had gotten to all these Super Bowls and never won one. Yeah. Alternate universe where Josh has three

Super Bowls. Yeah. Patrick Mahomes doesn't have any. I think people would be rooting for him. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. But they would still get, they would still get upset with the whole sideline dancing thing And when he took that when he did that slide when the two Texans hit each other That's not I don't blame the homes for doing that He was just trying to get on the ground, but that's a call that you can't make as a ref You know how fast also waited so long to go to the ground though He wasn't he wasn't really trying to get to the ground, but it's but this is what we say

I mean the chiefs are for the every call goes you know the chiefs way I actually don't think statistically I don't think that's true. Like people pull it up and it's like it's actually not true. It feels that way. The reason why it feels that way is that if you give the chiefs even an inch they're going to win the game. If you extend a drive. if you, if you, if you make a singular mistake with the chiefs and these, these calls weren't mistakes, because they were just bad calls, they will capitalize every single time and make you pay for it. So the calls get magnified. You know what I mean? Like if they don't, if they don't score a touchdown in a field goal off these two calls, it probably just doesn't feel as significant, but because if they get a free 15 yards, they're gonna go score a touchdown.

That's just what the Chiefs do. That's a championship team. That's what they do. And we're gonna be 60 years old and Travis Kelsey is just gonna be sitting down in the middle of zone coverage, catching a football, turning up field, running for 12 more yards.

That's just gonna happen. I love it when he's like, this guy just knows how to get open. He's so good and he's so good in these big situations and like I said I mean the 14 14 straight playoff games of 70 yards or more I think only one of the I think two of those 14 were in the 70s like he had 171 and 179 there's a bunch that are in the hundreds like he just he just shows up he's there for my homes when he needs to be and

That I mean that passed by my homes where he was completely parallel was insane. It was nuts It was absolutely insane and now my homes is seven and oh in the divisional round He has won a playoff game every single year that he has been a starter, which is pretty insane That's just baseline. He's gonna win at least one playoff game. And the last seven years for the Chiefs look like this. In 2018, they lost to the Patriots in the AFC Championship game. In 2019, they won the Super Bowl.

In 2020, they lost the Super Bowl. In 2021, they lost to the Bengals in the AFC Championship game. 22 Super Bowl champs, 23 Super Bowl champals in the AFC championship game. 22 Super Bowl champs, 23 Super Bowl champs, 24 AFC championship game. The floor for their season is the AFC championship game. Yeah it must be nice. That's it. Must be real nice being a... I want to see what the map looks like when they put out the map of who America is rooting for in these games. Yeah. It's probably just Kansas, Missouri. I think it's just Kansas. Kansas,

Missouri probably. Maybe. Maybe Texas. Maybe Texas. Yeah. Probably not. But that's probably about it in this one. It's crazy. They're just, they're just always there and it is, I mean, Scott Van Pelt joked about it, like the, the Kansas City Invitational. That's what it's become. Yeah. I think they, oh, I guess last year they didn't host it because they went to Baltimore. But the other six years, I believe they hosted all of those. I just want to put a magnifying glass or a spotlight on Deontay Johnson's year this year because I think he's had the craziest year of any NFL player ever. So he got traded from the Steelers to the Panthers. Yeah. He got traded from the Panthers to the Ravens. He got suspended from the Ravens. Then he got traded from the Steelers to the Panthers. Yep. He got traded from the Panthers to the Ravens.

He got suspended from the Ravens. Then he got brought back and cut by the Ravens. Then he got signed by the Texans. Then he got cut by the Texans. And then he got signed by the Ravens again, mostly just for a procedural thing so they could cut them and I think get like a compensatory payout out of it. But that's, you have to be really bad at wide receiver to get

Cut by the Ravens and the Texans also probably not a great locker room in this year. Yeah, probably not a great locker room Yeah, I think there was that clip of him like when the I think was on the Ravens when he got like one target And they won the game. I think he was pissed off after I think he was pissed after the Texans won their playoff game. I think he was upset after that. Yeah, he should never have left Pittsburgh. Yeah. Well, yeah. I mean, to this year to get cut from the stealer to get cut from the Texans and the Ravens given their receiver injuries. Yeah, that's pretty bad. Also getting traded away as a wide receiver from the Steelers is really bad. Really bad. Really bad. Um, so Texans, I feel like as rocky as this season looked and it did look really rocky because CJ shroud, I mean, he took a step back. He was not as good as he was last year. I feel like the arrow is still pointing

up for them because that defense is so legit and you gotta hope that you're not gonna have Two of your top three weapons get hurt like they did with tank Dell and Stefan Diggs I know tank Dell might not be back for a while, but that Like so came to play in the playoff game like that like he he had he showed he showed that dog in the playoff game Like I didn't lose because of him at all No, you and the In the Chargers game they killed him and that defense is, I mean that was an incredible defense and they went toe to toe with the Chiefs. I know that the final score doesn't look like that but they were in that game for the

majority of that game and they just had a few plays whether it be the block, you know, field goal, miss field goal, a couple sacks here and there, like they just, they, if they get an offensive line and maybe another weapon, they'll be right back in the, in the thick of it. Yeah. After the game, CJ Stroud was pretty realistic about it. He was like, yeah, I'd say this, you know, I'm not happy with the loss, but I'm happy with how we competed and there's some things to be optimistic about. And then they asked Miko Ryan's that

same question. He was like, no, I'm fucking furious. This sucks. This is the worst ever. Yeah. And there was a lot of rightfully so Texans players being like, you can't actually thought that they were, they, I saw a couple of quotes and they were essentially like, you just can't make mistakes against the chiefs. Like, you know that they were kind of blaming the refs, but it is true. Like you just can't make a single mistake against chiefs because Patrick Holmes is that level now where he's not the same guy that he was six years ago where he was just throwing bombs to Tyree Kill,

but his like savviness and ability to just make a big play when it needs to be made is so off the charts. It's like that winning the his numbers don't jump off the page, but like they used to, but his ability to just win and be in big moments is so out of control that you just know the chiefs are going to be there. You know what's scary to think about this right now, what we're seeing Patrick Mahomes do this season. This might be the NFL figuring out Patrick Mahomes Yeah, because when he had Tyree kill and he was putting up all those crazy stats and numbers that was before defenses adjusted Then they started running that like too high safety look on them

You're not gonna score 30 points in a quarter against us anymore And then this is the NFL figuring out Patrick Mahomes and they won 15 games They went 15 and 2 and they're in the AFC championship. Yeah Patrick Holmes and they won 15 games. They went 15 and two and they're in the AFC championship. Yeah. Figured out. And last year everyone was like the Chiefs are not good and they won the Super Bowl. Yeah. That's the level that Patrick Holmes is playing at and their defense is just so legit. I mean,

their defensive line, Rex teams, McDuffie is such a stud, Jalen Watson being back was huge and Spags is, I mean, he just, it feels like there's like three or four times a game where Spags would just call the perfect play that it's, it's, it's, it's the same thing as like a genius offensive coordinator who will call a play that no one sees coming and trick a team. Uh, he does that on defense and it's, it's incredible to watch because you just know if you get in a spot where you are In like obvious passing downs late in the game and you're trailing to the Chiefs spags will figure it out Mm-hmm, and that's what he did at all the right times. Yeah, Hank. What were you gonna say? I

Thought you raised your hand No, no, I mean I I Understand what it was like rooting against the Patriots for a long time I always used to do the you know, hey, that's cuz they ain us, but yeah, it's just miserable. It's it's slow death No one's rooting for the chiefs. At least like I'm not I like that they hate it They hate us cuz they ain't us better be rooting for the bills. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Yeah Oh, yeah, our friend Josh rooting for your friend Tom Brady's dynasty And it's Josh got to do it. Yeah, so

Yeah, I mean the chiefs just, they pounce on everything. They just do. They're just gonna, they're gonna keep doing this year in, year out. And when it comes to Patrick Mahomes, if it means that he has to throw 150 yards and win, he'll figure out a way to do that. Right.

And guess what? Their running game will probably be cooking that game. Yeah. I mean, they didn't really have, I mean, we set it with the yards gained. I mean, like I said, the field position was great for them. But it's not... I mean, Cream Hunt carried the ball eight times. That was their leading rusher for 44 yards. And Pacheco had five rushes for 18 yards. They didn't... It, it was Travis Kelsey

and Patrick Mahomes and it is a big place in a sick twist as, as chief fans and chiefs players have been, you know, scrapping around looking for bulletin board material, wherever they can find it for the last like three seasons because they're, everybody respects the chiefs. Everybody knows how good they are. Now they've got the bulletin board material of one Patrick Mahomes did not make the pro bowl. That was the bulletin board material of one Patrick Holmes did not make the Pro Bowl That was unnecessary bulletin board material that we gave them America number two is talking about the refs That has somehow become a strength of theirs where they're like all you guys are gonna do is complain about the refs talk about the refs Travis Kelsey being washed in the regular season His his over-under yards for the playoff game was 50. Yeah, I think they were saving him

Yeah, they of course they are. Yeah. He just, he has to show up in the playoffs and that's what he does. So it's Mahomes, the refs, Travis Kelsey. Also remember that stat, they're one of like three teams that not score 30 points. That's still going.

Do you know who scored 30 points 11 times? The Detroit Lions. Yeah. like that's They don't give a fuck the Chiefs are not trying to win style points They're just winning football games and there they do it at a level that is Insane I respect the hell out of the Chiefs for being able to do this. I think you can this up It's honestly pretty incredible Yeah, I mean it like I said Mahomes has reached a different level where it's not, it's not

the wow, eye popping numbers that he's had in years past, but it doesn't matter because he's just at a, he's like thinking the game at a different level and every time you need a big play it's Mahomes. And yeah, I mean, the cheese fans, like I think cheese fans need to just embrace the fact that the refs did, did help them in this game and just be like, sorry, don't make mistakes. Don't ever lead with your helmet near within a 10 yards of Patrick Holmes. If you put your helmet even 10 yards within Patrick Holmes, there's a chance it's going to get flat. It probably will. Yeah. So just don't do it. Yeah. And

you mentioned in the fastest two minutes that he did have the box of the year. Yeah. Taylor Swift, Caitlin Clark, Tommy alter, our friend put some respect on Tommy was just lingering in the background of that big time lingering. Then they had Donna Kelsey. Right? She was up there. Yep, Donna Kelsey was always was Mr. Kelsey around. I don't know. He never gets taught never gets FaceTime. But yeah, he never gets it. Yeah. Here is also Dave Portnoy's like dream dream box. Yep, it was He probably saw that and was like man. I wish I was there. Are you guys box guys? Yeah, yeah big time like just the box or do you need the game you need TDs around? I would like the game Yeah, no, I would like the game. Mm-hmm. I don't think I could just watch a box. I could I love being in a good box

Yeah, but not not watching the box, but if you go into a box. I could. I love being in a good box. Yeah. But not watching the box. But if you go into a box, you're just not gonna watch the game? No, but if you're watching the box. I like going inside the box. You would like to just watch the box instead of the football game. Yeah, sometimes I would like to just watch the box.

I'd like to watch the whole thing. I want everything around the box. Like what's a box if you don't have the football game going? The goal is to get into the box. What's a box if you're not inside of it? the goal is to get into the box a box if you're not inside of It the box is that's what you want to get into yeah That's just sometimes that's just looking at a picture of a box right and that doesn't do anything No, exactly. Yeah, the chase to get in the box is better than being in the box

Yeah, yeah. Yeah, I mean if you never get in the box so that kind of sucks. It does Yeah, don't look back on you like maybe I could have gotten in that box But we'll never maybe I should just asked if I could have gotten in that box and The box would have been like yeah, why did you take you so long to ask? Mm-hmm that is the what if the worst feeling but then that maybe there are some boxes that you think that you could have gotten into But in reality you wouldn't have but you always will go on thinking I could have been in that box Then you tell your friends I could have been that box Oh, yeah, those are some of the best boxes when you go and you're like, oh, do you see how many boxes?

I could have gotten into tonight. I didn't you know what? I'd rather just have pizza all of them. Yeah Just have pizza and hang with the boys at 2 a.m Yeah instead of getting into all those boxes that were inviting me when you saw Tommy a friend in the box We're like damn like were you like mad or you like happy? No, I asked him to please not shower so I could smell him after I was happy I was super pumped for Tommy Yeah, like you got to gas your bros up. Yeah, sure. Of course. We did we text him. We're like dude big time How sick was that box? Look pretty sick. He looked really. Yeah

Chiefs are just gonna go to the Super Bowl again, aren't they? I mean you'd be a fool to say to write them off or to doubt them. I tweeted it a month ago. I was like, everyone needs to just recognize the chiefs are going to three Pete and then act accordingly. And it's not like I'm rooting it. I'm rooting for the opposite to happen. I was, I bet the chiefs in this game because I was like, well, it's playoff my homes. And I was actively rooting for the Texans during the game. Also, it was the Travis, the Travis Kelsey parallel to the ground touchdown. That's when it was like, yeah, that's my home.

That's like, he has just stood there looking at the defender like you tried. And he's going to have like two or three of those plays a game where like no one else can do that. And he did that. And that's why he's my homes and everyone else is everyone else. I, uh, like just thinking about this game, what like the, I do want to say, uh, anyone who bet minus nine and a half, uh, apologies because I know it was eight and a half all week and then on Saturday it was nine and a half. That safety was so fucked. That's an all time, all time after the miss field goal, after the miss field goal, you're like, holy shit, we did it. And then to lose it, I think some people

pushed it nine as well. That's one that you have a right to complain about. Just as much as the Texans can complain. Again, I don't think the, I think the Texans, when you score one touchdown and have those gaffes on special teams, you can't be like, man, we should have won that game if those calls go differently, but that doesn't,

that's common sense, that's the two things can be true. That's common sense. A rational fan brain, complain the fuck away. Yeah, at least you have a great complaint to just bitch about. You can always, in your mind, you can look back on this game a year from now being like, we should have beat the Chiefss but the refs fucked us.

Yeah, we got screwed by the refs. That's good. It's nice to have an excuse that is not your fault at all. Yeah. Okay, so anything else from this game? The Chiefs I believe are one and a half point favorites over the Bills. Okay. Which that's disrespectful to Patch from home.

I would say so. I would say it's, they'll just throw that out there. They just, I also, did you guys see that picture of the Texans fans that were at the last last row of Arrowhead? No, oh my god I want to just I don't know they probably don't if they're hearing this if they know someone if someone knows these people Just be like hey, we we mentioned them. I'll try to find it for you it it's like a narrow portion where it like, they were so far up there and it was so cold and so windy

that I don't know how they survived. And those are just, those fans need a shout out. Let me find a picture. Can you find it, Max? One thing I do like about Texans fans, Arrowhead. The cold weather is when the coaches wear the ski mask on the sidelines, because the one that goes like above your mouth

It blocks out the lip readers out there. Yeah, it's perfect. That's why Andy Reid has a big mustache. Yeah. All right. Yeah, look at that Look at that picture Yeah, I got Texans fans. That's I don't even know if they make you pay for those seats. Is that a safe row? I said it's crazy structurally sound that's so far up there and That's like, you know, they're just getting their fucking dicks kicked in by so far up there and that's like you know they're just getting their fucking dicks kicked in by the wind up there yeah that's like that thing that leans out over the Willis Tower yeah that you look at yeah so shout out those Texans fans arrow pointing up for the Texans I really do think that like this

this was weirdly a bad season because you know the injuries and CJ shroud step back but they they're gonna be there next year yeah and they're gonna they are the only team to never be in a championship championship game I think I saw that stuff I didn't think that CJ played bad I think that this is something that you can be happy with going to next year and remember you have more playoff wins than the Cowboys since your franchise was created pretty Pretty good. Just, we made that graphic. Just take that graphic, save it in your phone. Show it to everyone.

Okay, before we get to the night game, does everybody here know what season it is? Football season? Football, yes. Hockey, basketball. Yeah, that's right, but it's also tax season. Ooh. Which we all know Hank is not a fan of how you feeling about that Hank

What a game. Yeah, what a fucking game if you're Lions fan, please fast-forward probably for the next three minutes I understand that you would not want to be longer than that. You would want to listen to this. Yeah

but for the first time That I can ever remember in my life I'm thinking soupy. I'm finally thinking soupy and The turnaround this team had is fucking unreal from last year. Last year, the commanders were four and 13. We had the worst defense in the NFL, rank number 32. We had the 25th offense in the NFL. A minus 189 point differential. This year, 14 and five, 16th ranked defense,

fifth ranked offense, first ranked offense on fourth down. A couple weeks ago, we weren't sure if they were good. We thought that they just won games. They're good. They just kicked a great team's ass in their house. They're a fucking good team. And Jaden Daniels, he is God. Jaden is, he's the best.

I think he's the best quarterback in the NFC. I think he's probably top five in the NFL. This team is just incredible to watch. It was a lot of fun. That second quarter was just, it was nuts. Just score, score, score. And the defense stepped it up big time creating turnovers. The interceptions of Jared, the interception of the trick play that Ben Johnson tried to

run. They did kind of a bin but don't break thing. The Lions were scoring touchdowns. They were gashing us with Jameer Gibbs. And then for some reason they kept putting Montgomery back out there. On Friday, I said, Montgomery's a great player and he's tough as fuck. If he's battled back and he's playing in this game, I respect the hell out of him. But at the same time, if you're going to tell me I'm either getting Montgomery on the field

or Gibbs on the field as a commander's fan, give Montgomery as many touches as you can possibly give him. Because we couldn't stop Jameer Gibbs at all. Uh, and yeah, they, they scored their points. They took their shots, but their defense, I think probably sustained too many injuries over the course of the season to be able to do much to stop the, uh, the commanders. But it is, it's incredible. It's, it's been such a fun season and, uh, Jayden is the first quarterback that's drafted in the top four to ever make a championship game as a rookie. And yeah, it was a lot of fun.

I'm scared going into the game. I wasn't feeling confident until we recovered that onside kick at the end. But yeah, man, I think we can beat anybody. That's what Jayden has done. I don't think that we're the best team in the NFL I don't think we necessarily have the best roster top to bottom in the NFL But I think that we could beat any team on any given Sunday and the keys to the game Fuck them up put the women children to bed. Yep, Jayden Daniels and the hype video

For check marks, which is a great hype video. Thank you. I appreciate it right Max didn't care watch the whole thing It was great hype video. Thank you. I appreciate it right Max didn't care. I watched the whole thing It was a great hype video And then I listened to Coldplay in my car. Yeah, I did That's what you know hype video is good that you listen to the song after the hype video. It's a great song Yeah, that's a lie saying that I didn't care for it. I thought it was a really good video, but it Other people agreed with me that it seemed more like a end of season video guess what it worked It worked. It worked.

It worked. Was it supposed to hype up other people or Commanders fans? No, there was Commanders fans that were saying that too. No, I didn't see that. I saw almost 100% approval rating on the hype video. No, everyone said it was a good video. It was a great video. It's just the vibe.

But you know, it worked. So what can I say? It worked. Yeah, it was telling a story. I was telling a story. It was a great storytelling storytelling this game to me came down to two things one a Guy by the name of Philly maze on Twitter Tweeted out the Lions may win this game by a hundred when they were up seven to three That was almost instantly proven incorrect and And then the real thing was,

I think we all had the same thought when we were watching this game. Commanders were incredible in the first half, and we're like, can they hold on? And what happened in the second half? Commanders get the ball, three and out. The Lions go down the field, score, make it a three point game,

and you're like, uh oh, here it comes. And then Jaden Daniels went on a 15 play 70 yard drive started with 828 in the third quarter gave the ball back to the Lions with 1329 in the fourth quarter got a touchdown back to a 10-point lead that was it like that that drive because that was the moment that was the moment and I think I tweeted Jaden Daniels is unflappable that was the moment where the commanders could have blinked and like, you know, you're in a ruckus environment You're an eight and a half point dog. You just went three and out. They just went and scored It's a three-point game and he didn't blink and he's I mean he's special like that's what I wrote down right here

Jayden Daniels is special He's incredible like his rookie season has been out of this world. Probably one of the best of all time. Rookie seasons. Obviously I get tagged in a lot of tweets. He's way better than Caleb Williams right now. I still have hopes for Caleb Williams. But I also think that if Jaden Daniels was drafted

by the Bears, he wouldn't have been good. That's neither here nor there. This is more about Jaden Daniels. He's special. He's an incredible, incredible talent. And I said this to you on Friday, I was like I Went in the game being like the Lions are better, but Jane Daniels is just different

Yeah, and like that was I kept on saying in my head. I ended up betting the commanders on the spread I wish a better money line, but I just kept on saying like whatever's happening here. It's a whole Team believing and this guy just carrying them all to this place where it's like they're just playing, everyone's playing better and everyone plays different knowing they have that guy who can make those type of drives and those type of plays. Fourth down plays where it just, it's incredible. So on fourth down, I noticed this early on the season, uh, like third and short, fourth and short, Jaden Daniels just doesn't care.

He just doesn't care at all. He's the same guy. He acts like it's a first and 10 every time. He acts like it's the easiest play in the world. He's unflappable. He's cool. He does not panic ever. So when we do these fourth down conversions,

I'm always like, yeah, you know what, Dan? Fuck it. Let's go for it. Except for Marcus Mariotta That was one of the worst. That was, that was bad. So I think we were three for four on fourth down conversions. Don't, don't take the ball out of Jayden Daniel's hands. Don't do it with the commanders. I think after Saturday night's game, we now have the most fourth down conversions in playoff history after two games. Like they go for their consistent Dan Quinn's been doing this all year He's doing like he out Dan Dan Yeah, it was this is the type of game plan that Dan Campbell is known for Dan Quinn did it we executed better

Just he doesn't he does not give a fuck that it's fourth down. Yeah, I don't know how he does it He doesn't feel emotions. He just goes out there and he acts like it's practice Yeah, term or law skill like the term he uses. He said pocket piece. Yeah, he's got the best pocket piece. Like he's just peace. He has, he's at peace in the pocket. He's unflappable. That was the two words, unflappable and special. Like there's just something going on there where he's just, he's, the game is slowing down for him almost where he just looks like he's playing it at a completely different speed than everyone else also to add to your like

turnaround each of the top eight commander tacklers this year on defense we're not on the roster a year ago and Dan Quinn and Cliff Kingsbury and your ownership group and you know your GM everyone like this is watching this I've come to peace with it. I've come to peace with it. Obviously I've had mixed feelings where I, you know, tried to fight against it. And I was like, fuck, this is not like this isn't happening. Jane Daniels is special. I had I've given up probably like three weeks ago where I was like,

this is just, I think it was the Falcons game where I was like, why even fight it? The guy is on another level. And if anything, it gives hope to anyone who roots for a bad team is like, you just got to get a new owner. Yeah. And then everything can work because Dan Quinn, everything's working for him. And everything's working for Cliff Kingsbury. Everything's working for Jayden Daniels. The only thing that's not working is Stu finer did say that after everyone on the commanders hugged Magic Johnson after the game that the whole team is out with AIDS next week Well, that's not true scientifically You know Stu going back in his bag, but you know what it's a play out. Everybody's dealing with something Yeah, everyone's nicked up in the playoffs. No, it's a crazy. I'm happy for you. It's crazy Like I know people like oh, you're not actually happy for him I gave up on trying to fight it

like I said a month ago where it's like you you just got to sit back and watch and be like, this is what we're watching is incredible and enjoy it as a sports watcher and not think about, you know, what could have been. It's just, he's, he's a joy to watch play football. He's unreal. He's unreal. Yeah. The turnaround that they've had and the guys on defense, the, the second drive that the lions had going in, they were up seven, three and we forced a fumble recovered it. I think if the second drive that the Lions had going in, they were up 7-3 and we forced a fumble, recovered it. I think if the Lions score that it might be a different game. And but to come up with a big play at the right time between him, Jeremy Chin, Mikey Sanders still, I fucking love this guy. I love him so much. Got two picks. He played

receiver at Michigan too, not just cornerback. He is the best and a tough break with Sam Cosby who was playing well and then he got rolled up on probably our best offensive lineman. He's our only pro ball offensive lineman. He is he's now out with an ACL that sucks. But we saw the emergence in the last couple weeks of playoff Diami. So Diami Brown is absolutely the story behind him is wild. So Grant Paulson tweeted out these stats. Diami Brown went four years in the NFL without catching five passes in the game. Geez. Not once over four seasons did he do it. In the last two games in the playoffs, five catches 89 yards in a touchdown, six catches 98 yards.

And this is going up against Amon Ross St. Brown, who is a great receiver that talks shit about Diami. I think that was last year being like, tell me how many catches this guy has. Yeah, like I think he might have been drafted ahead of him. So that's one of the guys that he remembers on that list. But playoff Diami is a different guy. Yeah. And that that drop in the bucket that Jaden had to him on that post route while he was blindfolded with the hand of the defender

just Absolutely incredible stuff and Dami brown like what you just all the stats You just said that really goes back to what I was saying with jayden daniel being special and you know when you're watching a special Quarterback because he just elevates every single person. Yeah, like every single person plays better The line blocks better running backs run harder Just everything looks better because of that guy and I know that's over simplifying it, but I truly believe it That's why it's the most important position in all of American sports Yeah

like the culture and right the GM and and the Head coach and the belief in yourself like none of that means shit Unless you have a special quarterback, right and that's a that's the biggest part of the equation in yourself, like none of that means shit unless you have a special quarterback. Right. And that's a, that's the biggest part of the equation. But yeah, I love Dan Quinn. I love Jane Daniels. I love Terry McLaurin.

I'm so happy for him every time he does something that stands out because it's like this guy has been a great, great wide receiver for some really shitty quarterbacks. So it's fun seeing him and just saying the words, the Washington commanders are in the NFC championship game. It's crazy. I feel like I died. I feel like I'm a dead person. And this is the sixth sense. Or I'm in heaven. Oh, I mean, if I'm in heaven, cool. That rockies were there too. So it's like win win. But yeah, I feel like I'm dead. And this is something that's not real. That's happening. I'd never, never thought that this would happen this quickly. But yeah, if you have a shitty owner, just all you have to do is protest for 20 years, have him found culpable for sexual harassment via multiple investigations, have him be investigated for cooking the books and stealing money from the other owners. And then maybe you'll end up getting him out too. Because you agree with this statement, because what I was saying was if the bear like revisionist

history if the Bears drafted Jaden Danos, I think he would not have had this work a year because he would have been on the Bears and we had even foods as a coach and all this turmoil and all this shit and offensive line all that crap. Like I just don't think it would have gone the same way. Just like that. If Dan Snyder still owns a team, you guys aren't in the end of the game. No, no. If Dan Snyder owns the team, the field goal last week is missing by 40 yards.

Circumstance and everything around it matters. The snap never even gets to the holder. Yeah, it matters so much. The Hail Mary would have never happened if it were Dan Snyder that owned the team. You don't get good luck on your side if you have a shitty owner. I'd say the one good thing.

I do think he watched the game. Yeah, probably. I was thinking, I hope that he watched watched the game and I hope he's so fucking pissed off I hope you're I hope you're just miserable right now Dan wherever you are fuck you it's hard it would be hard not to watch football yeah even if it's a team that you used to own I also will one spin zone because obviously you know the Jaden Daniels Cale Williams in my own personal hell it does mask the fact that Dan Quinn also was a finalist for the Bears head coaching job

And they were like nah Eberfluss. I think he was the last person hired. Yeah, they flew him commercial. Yeah Yeah, he was the last coach hire so middle seat So and let that mask that whole thing let this also show for the record that in case you were somehow Fucking moron and he thought that being big cat, no ball, uh, Dan Quinn was the last guy on my list. Yeah. I did doubt Dan. I wanted Ben Johnson last year. Hopefully that happens for me with Mike McCarthy. I wanted Ben Johnson last year and guess what happened? I didn't get Ben Johnson. I was upset. Instead. I got Dan Quinn. What does Dan Quinn do?

He goes into beats, Ben Johnson in playoffs. And he gets Cliff Kingsbury. And that was so huge, because Cliff Kingsbury has done an incredible job of basically making sure that a rookie quarterback is in the perfect spot to succeed. Essentially everything that I said that was wrong in the off season just applied to Jayden Daniels.

You know what's crazy is- Cause I'm a fucking moron. That this game probably should have been 45 to 24. Instead of 45 to 31, there was the phantom face mask penalty that they called, that was not a face mask, extended that drive that was on third down, third and long, they would have punted that ball away and they ended up scoring a touchdown off it.

Now, if we're gonna do what ifs, I have one question for you. That was a crazy hit on Jared Goff on the pick six. Yeah, but also- And he might've been concussed. But also Jared was kind of engaged with a different defender and Louvue came in. It was a little bit high, but it was like bottom of the face.

Well, I'm just saying it's crazy in the fact that quarterbacks don't, like usually that's a flag. Yeah. That's you, Max. No. That's a flag, Max. Yes, that's definitely- All right, yeah, yeah, yeah, you agree with me. No, that's a flag max. Yes. Yeah Yeah, you agree with me. Wait, so what I'm saying is it?

Crazy, it might be a guy. I thought you were disagreeing. That was a crazy hit. It might be a flag, but also Newton shoved him at the last second. So the the target moves I mean he launched into him and this is crazy Jared golf probably got he Mean he launched into him and this is crazy. Jared Goff probably got he Listen Jared Goff played a bad game. We love Jared. He's a friend of the show been a friend of the show since the beginning of this Show he had a bad game. He was careless with the ball. I Wonder if he got concussed there cuz he did go back to the locker room and he got fucking Wrecked on this play. Yeah, and that is usually that's flagged almost all the time Like when you hit a quarterback like that after a pick that's that's a flag I

mean that's my homes that's jail if you do that to my home yeah drop a bomb on you well you say max throw a grenade no I mean memes told me to bring this up earlier because he was like you have to always always gonna bring it up yeah no that was that that and I don't know if he got concussed or not like he he obviously threw that pick before that hit so he was not playing great before that hit But he didn't play great after either. Yeah, I know I don't think it made a difference in the game No, yeah, the no the Lions were never winning that game, but that was like that was a crazy. That was a crazy Yeah, so it's I mean if they didn't the the the trick play interception like that was

That was a 10- game. If they scored a touchdown on that drive, they easily could have won the game. Where the lions really lost the game. JMO lost the game for them. And I like it sucks cause I like watching Jameson Williams play football and he's electric, but, and he had that incredible run, but Jameson Williams lost this game for them in two different ways. And Jared Goff obviously deserves in the defense, that stuff which we can get to all the Lions stuff but I thought the Jameson William trick play where he threw the ball just don't like throw it out of bounds I don't know do something else and then I actually thought in the end of the first half was where the Lions really like kind of lost the game because they're going

down to score and Jared throws past the Jameson Williams in the end zone that gets intercepted and that was like Maybe Jameson Williams being a younger receiver Where a savvy vet you slow down and let the cornerback make contact through you and you get a flag like he kind of He wasn't strong enough on the ball there and the corner back made a great play and that was Maybe it maybe the Lions are down three going in the half and now they're down ten and they don't get the ball there and the cornerback made a great play and that was maybe it maybe the Lions are down three going in the half and now they're down 10 and they don't get the ball. I thought that was a great play by Sandra Strill on that way he kind of undercut the route. Yeah but he he just wasn't strong enough to the ball you know what I mean like he like a vet receiver is stronger to the

ball there than Jameson Williams was. And then he kind of mentally checked out in the second half. Yeah. So, uh, but we should talk about the Lions. That was about as devastating of a loss as you can have for a team. Now, uh, I, I like, you have a season that's a dream season in terms of record and, and 15 wins and number one seed for the first time in franchise history. But the defensive injuries and I know, listen, everyone gets injured. I saw the depth chart. Did you see that? That they, they basically, I'm going to, I'm going to look it up real quick. I think I'd bookmarked it. The lions, cause they lost to Meek Robertson in the first quarter of the game and he's obviously a very important. Yeah. So here it is. So they had, uh, by the end of this game, they were out, uh, one, two,

three, four, five, six week one starters on defense. And then one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, seven backups. And, uh, what is that? Three, four of them were, they lost the starter and the backup. They had basically no one playing defense at the end of the game. Um, so I, I do feel bad in that respect cause that's just the shittiest, the shittiest luck with injuries on defense. He could possibly have. It's actually pretty remarkable that they got this far and they got the, they got the buy and the one yeah Like they did a great job And Glenn did a great job getting every single bit that they could have gotten out of the players that they had By the time you're on like the third string at multiple positions

It's gonna be tough no matter who is gonna coach you up, but they did a good job this season It just it ran too thin. Yeah, they just didn't have anybody back there and and now you have a Lions franchise it's kind of at a crossroads because you're gonna lose your offensive coordinator you're gonna lose your defense quarter most likely your defense quarter Schefter already reported that Ben Johnson will take a head coaching job between the Raiders the Jaguars or the Bears and you just won 15 games you You come off an NFC championship appearance last year. You climb back to the mountain. You could see it in Dan Campbell's post-game press conference. He was crying. He was very emotional. He took all the blame. Again, I think it's when you look at like the blame pie for the Lions,

Jared had a really bad game at the worst time and their defense couldn't withstand the amount of injuries they had and jayden daniel's is special Our friend Detroit Todd did hit me up. He said this was at midnight on Saturday night He said I'm staying off social media for a month see on the backside Me and super fan are sick. Yeah, and you could see it They were showing the the Lions fans at the end of the game and It was just shock and disbelief and they I mean the first time in franchise history that they have the path goes through Detroit and to have that happen where it wasn't it wasn't a fluke. It wasn't like a crazy You know bounce off a helmet. It wasn't a Hail Mary. It was the commanders were better

They had all the guys from Detroit They had Calvin Johnson there. They had Barry Sanders They had they pulled out all the stops It felt like this was gonna be the Lions year if there was one and Dan Campbell seemed to have the team Just humming like they were they were playing with the same intensity In that game against the Vikings that you saw out of week one out of the Lions It was a pretty incredible season for him them but you're not gonna remember the incredible season. You're gonna remember this is the team that that should have gone farther.

How quickly is the storyline gonna be that like Dan Campbell pushes too hard and the practices are too hard and that's why they're injured so much? I actually think there will be a different story before that one. Okay. The story before that one will be Did Ben Johnson and Aaron Glenn lose focus on this game because they were doing interviews Going into this week. Yeah, Ben Johnson didn't have his best game. Although the double shovel pass was awesome. That was a great play That was an incredible play. But yeah, the the trick play to JMo was It was baffling and don't get me wrong. They were just running they didn't need it Yeah, just run Jameer Gibbs like you like I know David Montgomery came back faster than anyone ever It was baffled. And don't get me wrong, they were just running it. They didn't need it. They didn't need it.

And just run Jameer Gibbs. Like, I know David Montgomery came back faster than anyone ever expected. Jameer Gibbs is such an insane talent. And the way he runs and how fast he is and his vision, just run the whole game through Jameer Gibbs. In the first half, it was like he was averaging 15 yards of carry. Yeah. It was crazy. The fact that they went away from him was nuts. The commanders also did get a little bit of luck on their side

They had like you mentioned. Okay, there's a call that that probably should have been made There was also a route that Amon Ra just slipped on when he would have been wide open for a first down on important drive So yeah, there's there's luck that's you can't there's not that that happens every game There's big game of inches. There's breaks that's you can't there's not that that happens every game. There's great game of inches There's breaks that you get and and fortunately we got more breaks, and I think we were the better team Yeah, you absolutely were and jayden daniels Significantly outplayed Jared like that's just a fact you can't you can't sugar-coated or anything I thought that there was a pretty interesting stat

This is the first time that a Josh Harris own team has gotten past the second round of the playoffs. Oh, is that interesting Wow? Whoa, how many teams? Yeah, what are the he owns the Devils the New Jersey Devils? And then I believe he owns a basketball team. I think it's the Sixers. Oh, he's been doing that for a while, right? Yeah, he's had yes, and they haven't gotten to the they haven't we're talking football here. No, but no Yeah, Josh Harris is the owner of shit keep talking shit. We'll see you next week He's the owner of the Washington I don't want to talk commanders Eagles until after we talk all the games, but then I wanted to know I just want to remind I want to get it while he's talking shit who he where he has to go next

I'm what we're gonna win the a champion. That was just a fact Of Josh Harris, and I'm happy that he's owning a team. That's that's living up to his ability as an owner That was no that was just a stat. He just did a stack. Okay, and everything Jayden Daniels has done for the city I'm so glad that he was able to help Josh out in that same way. Josh is, he's a DC area guy. That was just that. Josh Harris, thank you for everything that you've done for the city. I'm happy for you, PFC. Get ready for the longest week of your life though.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Listen, I'm taking today to celebrate just like we won a game. Today I'm going to celebrate. I'm going to enjoy the victory and then start Monday. Guess what back to work I'm not celebrating for the record. Oh, wow. I will be I am doing zero celebrating back to work. Okay Sometimes you guys stop and smell the roses and you're saying act like you've been there before I have not been here before

I'm going to I'm gonna enjoy a day I'm giving myself a day and I guess what you're not gonna see me anymore locked in you better fucking believe I'm doing a hype video again on Friday And it's gonna kick the shit out of the last one they did he was there was rumors might be freebird Which is like nine minutes long yeah, well, I'll have to talk to poor quick I haven't decided Quick have not Done he's got the time. I've made a choice on what song is gonna be the soundtrack, but Freebird is one of the names that's in the hat right now.

I'm happy for you too, PFT. I'm happy that I also made the decision to let go of just trying to fight it. Yeah, honestly, I just had to do it because it's better for my mental health and Because it was like one of those things where people would text me. I think I got in a fight with SVP on text About a month ago, and I was like, what are you doing, dude? Like, Kale, I still think it could be great, but he had a disaster. Like the bears were a disaster this year and Jayden Daniels is special. Just, just let go. Yeah. And the way I look at it, I honestly don't care if you're upset or not. There are a lot of people- No, but I'm not.

Yeah. Like that's the thing. I know people are gonna be like, oh, he's so upset. He mentioned it. I literally have... Jay Daniels is so much fun to watch. Listen, to me, there are people that are also out there like, oh, you know that Big Cat's so mad at you right now. I want to be perfectly clear. I'm enjoying this. The thought of whether Big Cat is enjoying my success does not ever enter my brain. Correct. I do not give a shit about that. I'm going to love what's happening to my team because it's a miracle what I'm seeing from the Washington, the commanders

are in the NFC championship game. I do think that the, I mean, we, you know, our words get dissected over a million times. I do think people have noticed that I have had a shift in general vibe just because it's it's fun to watch Jaden Daniels play football and I'm not gonna rob myself of having fun watching someone play football just thinking about what what could be because again Jaden Daniels would have sucked if he was on the Bears. Yeah. He just would have.

Caleb Williams would be here. I don't know about that. I wouldn't go that far. I don't fucking know. I had Jaden number one on my big board. Glad that we got our top guy. We had him tagged as a commander going into the draft. We only gave out three commander's tags and he got one of them so I had him number one. By the way the NFC North most regular season wins 45 with zero playoff wins. The NFC beast is back. Bears had just as many playoff wins as the rest of the division. Yep, that's a fact. Also tied for the most wins in 2025. One to one with the Lions. Yep, who do you think had a worst time watching

this week in Slate? Cowboys fans, because you've got their former defensive coordinator, Dan Quinn, and then you've got their former offensive coordinator, Kellen Moore, winning. Also, Jayden Daniels just tied Dak Prescott for most career playoff wins. I guess, Jayden Daniels now has as many career playoff wins

as Dan Snyder too, which is pretty cool. Do you think they had a worse time or Giants fans watching Saquon? Alliance fans. Alliance fans. Yeah. I don't feel bad for Alliance fans because they're in the division and they've talked a lot of shit. I do feel bad for Detroit Don and super fan. Yeah, those two guys specifically. I feel bad for Alliance fans. I feel bad for Alliance fans. I tortured fan bases will always have a soft spot in my heart and I feel bad.

I feel bad for sprinkles. I don't feel bad that we won the game, but I feel for Lions fans. And I feel bad for Dink. When you have a season like that and you have the bye week, you're not even thinking about the divisional round. Yeah. That's what, like they got hit in the mouth and they didn't realize it

until like probably halfway through the third quarter. It's just like their defense was just so, so broken. They had no names. They had no no names. They had guys who didn't practice, who just showed up and had to play in a divisional round playoff game. So the top seeds are now 12 and eight in their first playoff games in the divisional round. So getting the buy doesn't it's not that great. No, no.

I got to say it. Say I got to say it. Say it. We love Dan Campbell. We can't we can't say we can't keep saying the winner thing. We can't I didn't say winner When did I say winner we but when did I say it now? Did I say we haven't but but I didn't say it Did I say it? He had to say it. I had to say it, but I mean we didn't call him a we had this long for the past for the past

Yeah, he was a shear but he what he I he's not a winner for this game The team wasn't ready Correct. Yeah, I know we I that's all that's all we have to say. I had to address it What did we say that Dan Campbell is a winner? Do we say that a lot? Well, I had that I had the argument that you can't keep calling him a winner. He actually wins in the playoffs Well, he did go to the Lannister Championship game last year. Yeah, and yeah, correct and during the season He was winning a lot of football games. Correct, but that doesn't make someone a winner.

Winning regular season games is not... We didn't call him a winner for... Like, imagine if we had started this and been like, Alright, PFT, hold on a second. But you've said it... I know you want to talk about the commanders being the NRC Championship game, but I'd first like to say Dan Campbell's a winner. I also don't think that we've had long extended conversations about

what a winner Dan Campbell is. We had that one debate where he was like you can't say he's a winner. Until he wins in the playoffs. I think he's a very good coach. But that's something that we talked about and he's got to win in the playoffs before we deem him a winner. I think grading it on a curve Dan Campbell's a winner because he changed the complete culture of the Detroit Lions. The Detroit Lions. That's fair. That's a fair point. The entire culture and performance of the Detroit Lions, a franchise that just, there's, there, besides the Cleveland Browns, they're the, like you'd never say winning in the Detroit Lions. And he made that a real thing that happened the last couple of years. He's not a winner today they lost he

wasn't ready how many playoff games would he need to win to be become a winner in your eyes? Super Bowl okay that's what I said okay that's what I said the first time. I'm happy you addressed that because I was worried there's a lot of people out there. I mean I was worried someone was gonna be like hey why didn't they talk about Dan Campbell? Well we're gonna we're gonna whatever. Dan Campbell did not have his team ready to play. Yeah, that's yeah. People are you know there was a lot of there was a lot of blame a lot of blame to Ben Johnson a lot of blame. I said the day Campbell I'm pretty sure I said that if I didn't I'm sorry. Dan Campbell got out coached.

Okay that Hank are you happy he said that? He had to say it. I had to say it, I had to say it. National Sports Podcast. I do think Dan Campbell's a very good coach, but I wanted to, I don't know. He didn't have his guys ready to play today. I do think that anyone who makes the Lions

a 15-win team by nature is a winner. Yeah, that's a pretty tough thing. That's almost impossible getting a bye top seed I mean the most wins in franchise history. That's crazy Okay, so Are you if you're a Lions fan or it has the thought entered your head at all? Like maybe Dan Campbell's the problem should we fire your life? Like maybe Dan Campbell's the problem. Should we fire your life? So that you have the one I said, are you like, should we

fire on the show when I said that you can't call him a winner until he wins in the playoffs? He has won in the playoffs. He has. He was a championship game, but every that doesn't make you a winner. Waiting a playoff game does not

make you until he was in the playoffs, but he he has won. He hasn't won a Super Bowl. OK, a lot of coaches have won. Yeah, that's true. OK, I lot of coaches have one. That's true Okay, I should Lions fans think about Dan Campbell being fired No, that's not what I'm saying that he's not a winner and you need a winner to win That's I'm not even saying that he's not a winner

I'll tell you I'm not even saying that he's not a winner All I'm saying is that he's literally said it has to be said no, but it has to yes It has to be said because we have this so you are saying it. No, I'm not saying that he's I'm just not giving him the label of Dan Campbell winner so that would imply I'm not able loser either. What is he? He's just not he's just clean He's just good coach. He's a good coach But not a winner He's not not labeled winner is Shane Daniels a winner a winner. He's not not labeled winner. Is Jaden Daniels a winner? Yeah, I mean we haven't seen him. We haven't seen him lose. Yeah, but he hasn't won a Super

Bowl though. Andy Reid was not a winner until he went to Kansas City. Yeah, that was literally the big thing of any day that Jaden Daniels is not. that was that was it Made my argument Josh. Yeah that that hurt Josh Allen and Lamar Jackson not winners Correct. Jane Daniels not a winner not yet. I don't know why all of us But he might turn you might turn into a loser next week you correct we never know I'm it happens that fast Yeah, I mean I we this is just a different discourse for different people So happy brought this Someone to tweet and be like I was waiting for max to say that Max is this have anything to do memes was but their memes is back here with you

Does this have anything to do with the fact I told him to take notes and then bring it up in the Eagles Does this have anything to do with the fact that we give him to take notes and then bring it up in the Eagles? Does this have anything to do with the fact that we give credit to Dan Campbell for going four on four downs? Well, yes, that's this is based on a loser and Dan Campbell winner. But you gave us the right to call Nick Sirianni a loser. Fair. But now I don't think so. But he's not one of Super Bowl. True that he's in the middle. He's in the middle. He's coach. He's good coach. Both in the same category of I had. I wrote down praise for Nick Sirianni. It's coming. I will get to it. You shouldn't have jumped the gun. I. I know I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I shouldn't have said anything Fire it up. I like it max. We shouldn't have said I like it. Yeah, Kim will still winner

Yeah, I would agree. I would agree with that bad game. He's a bad bad game. What team wasn't ready They got punched in the mouth They were so they're supposed to be the tougher team that you know punches other teams in the mouth biting kneecaps all that shit that was a bad like he just they weren't ready and Yeah, but he's a winner. This is what memes really wants to talk about his PFT fucking the floor He was doing the gym. I did the gym. Oh, I know it was great Yeah, James Williams caught the touchdown fucked the carpet didn't get a flag for it He was having sex with the ground at Ford Field. So first thing I thought about was, yeah, fuck that carpet.

Also very funny because PFT was wearing an outrageous, for the outsiders, an outrageous jumpsuit, Washington Commander's jumpsuit. And Coach Gruden even said to me, he's like, can you believe what this guy's wearing today? And I had to like look and be like, oh yeah, I guess for you that would be weird. I was like, that's, I didn't flinch when PFT

walked in with that on. Number one, it's jumpsuit January. Number two, that's a commander's jumpsuit. Number three, I've worn that jumpsuit before. So I've broken it in a little bit, but yeah. I mean, it's the playoffs. You have to pull out all the stops for the playoffs. There's really nothing besides if you walked in with like new tuxedo

Yeah, then I would be shocked if I were a collared shirt people are like you have court later, don't you? Yeah, I'm like who died that was the most average PFT out No, so he was like, can you believe this I was like, uh, yeah, no I can yeah, yeah that makes sense know. So he was like, can you believe this? I was like, uh, yeah, no, I can. Yeah. Yeah. That makes sense. And Gruden, he hates the commanders. I probably would hate the commanders if I were him too. Yes. But I converted him like halfway through the second quarter. He's like, I can't root against that anymore. That's what I'm saying. If you are rooting against, obviously if you're an Eagles fan, but if you're a neutral party, uh, it's way more fun, especially if you're neutral party and you're you know a Bears fan who has Caleb Williams like myself if you're neutral party though

It's a lot more fun to just let go and be like He's awesome to watch cuz he is he's awesome to watch and that was a very fun game I would say even probably like 50% of Eagles fans are kind of rooting for Jane Daniels this weekend because he's that fun to watch. And there's, I would say that's probably true. City known for their sportsmanship. Yeah. I'd say most Eagles fans are like, damn, he's so much fun to watch. They'd probably be a little bit happy if they lost the game. They'd be like, you know what? I want to see that guy playing the super bowl. That is incorrect. I will say no, no, no, no. It's for Jayden Daniels this week. He was incredible, yeah, and the Eagles better win now because I'm scared that that guy's gonna bet I'm officially scared that he is around for like the rest of my life. Yeah. Oh, he's that good. Yeah max

I hope you have my life. I hope you live more than 45 now change gonna be here for like 50 years Nothing's ever gonna be bad again. Let's go to the Sunday games.

Now back to the games. Okay, max Eagles 28 Rams 22. Sequon Barkley. That's it. Sequon Barkley. I mean obviously the Eagles defense well, which I want to talk about, but Sequon Barkley is so fucking good.

Sequon Barkley had, uh, that was his sixth touchdown of 60 plus yards. Four of the six have come against the Rams. He had 534 total yards is the most a player's ever had against another opponent in a season. And he only played the Rams twice. Think about that. He only played them twice. He had 534 total yards of scrimmage from scrimmage.

The run in the first half the run to end the game he is so goddamn good and Max did you see that clip which was one of the coolest things I've ever seen before the 78 yard touchdown he turned to Jalen Hurts they did a mouth reading he said watch this he just knew what it was gonna happen and he ripped off 78 yard run. And the Eagles are back in the NFC Championship game. Nick Sirianni, really good coach, winner. Nick Sirianni is now three and over Sean McVay. Nick Sirianni is eight and oh,

versus Sean McVay, Matt LaFleur, and Dan Campbell. That's pretty good. It's a winner. Those are three coaches that everyone's like, hey, coach of the years and everything Super Bowl coach and Sean McVay. He's eight no against those guys. That's a winner. I may jump the gun a little bit here. Why? The whole of the I mean yeah you didn't know I may have jumped the gun. I was gonna be brazing Nick Sirianni. I may have jumped the gun a little bit. That's fair. That's fair. Sometimes you got to, yeah, I had Dan Campbell in the stat. That's, yep. That's on me. That's on me. Sometimes I get a little excited. Oh, that's fair. Well, it's more so whatever it had to be said. He's

beaten a bunch of losers. So, but it had to be said, but yeah, that's on me. Those three coaches you would say if you're like, Hey, who are the top three coaches in the NFC? I mean maybe throwing Kyle Shanahan as well, but those are three names that come up and Nick Sharianne has not lost to any of those guys. He's eight. No and the Eagles Jalen hurts gets hurt. I don't know what his status is max. Can you tell us also? Shout out Mother Nature because she showed up at the perfect time. Got a great snow game. Kurt Warner was sick. I love it. I love it when playoff games are half not in the snow and then the second half in the

snow. Yeah. Gruden kind of was, we were watching the game with Gruden and he kind of had the same take as Kurt Warner. Really? Yeah. He's like, wait, play Kurt Warner's take cause he, he, he still fights this all the time. This is from our show. What everybody says it's football weather. This is what it is. But here's the problem that I have. And it doesn't necessarily apply to these two teams, but being a guy that played in a dome, being a guy that played in Arizona, I have no way to get ready for those conditions. And so you can say all you want about home field advantage and that's why you play. Well no, because the Patriots can come to Arizona and there's no difference other than

we have our fans obviously, but they can play in my weather. I can't play in their weather because I can't get used to it. there's nothing you can do to get used to cold weather in a situation so to me I'm just like I want the best I want to be able to be my best I want to play against their best and I want the best to advance and so for me last night I mean I played in that weather before I grew up in Iowa so I played in all that stuff I feel like you know it's just like best taking that ball. I'm sure when he kicked it. Oh, that's money. That's right down the middle It's not fair you say you're sorry. I think it's a fair point to say I can't simulate practicing in the snow Of course, but this is also what makes you'll advantage. This is what yeah get number one win more games number two

I don't really give a shit because I love watching snow football on TV. It's one of the weird things like the NFL is a weird sport. You have to be able to respond to different things that you don't expect happening. And you have to be able to deal with shit. Yeah. And just as a fan watching on TV, do not take away my snow games. Yeah, I love watching snow football because you think back to when you were a kid and you're like, Oh, I would be so good on the snow. I was unstoppable in my backyard when snowed outside

I don't give a shit that Kurt Warner thinks is unfair I think it's the best thing and the snow fucked up the Rams because it was I mean they fumbled The Eagles didn't fumble Matt Stafford looked like he didn't want to be out there for the entire third quarter. Yeah, they did by the way Eagles also didn't really love playing I did you see Josh? What's yeah quote after he said ass playing on the snow today? That's what he said ass He said I'd rather play on the shitty Brazil field before playing on that again. I ain't gonna lie to you I like that quote. Yeah, it's ass. I'm fine with the players thinking that it's ass. Yeah, but this was a this game was

I'm fine with the players thinking that it's ass. Yeah, but this was a this game was Very tight at the end, but the Eagles they did the thing that they are built around their offensive line mauled Saquon Barkley was special and their defense was incredible because Carter Jalen Carter was insane The guy scares me. He was so good. He had five tackles five pressures three QB hits two sacks two fumbles or two two one force fumble and two tackles for a loss and he made the biggest put like Vic Fangio is obviously deserves a lot of credit as well because what he was doing in that game When I think it's around the second quarter They started stunting and you could see Stafford was like it was fucking Stafford up because you Try to step up and there'd be a guy in his face and then on that that

Second was it third and two third and two on the 13 yard line with a minute and change left Dave faked a stunt and that's where Jalen Carter just basically blew right by his guy because he tried to pass him off and That was the game like that sack saved the Eagles season because I do think if you even watch that play Tyler Higbee was wide open he had beaten his guy Tyler Higbee was gonna catch that ball maybe even score on that play and Jalen Carter made the play and saved their season yeah they got dudes up front that would just wreck your shit constantly yeah I they the defensive line scares me on the Eagles very much and then when they're not getting cute when they decide, okay We're just gonna hand the ball to say Kwan because he's the best and we're gonna let our offensive line do what our offensive line does

The best then they're almost impossible to stop. I don't know how you slow them down Yeah, have you let go of Jalen Carter too? That one's totally different because you can't say the Bears don't address offensive line and be like, we should have taken Jalen Carter. But then we also took Darnell Wright in that position, who's a really good offensive lineman and then got Dexter as well in the second round, who's a really good, he's not Jalen Carter, but you can't criticize the Bears for not, like being like, why didn't you dress offensively? Also, why didn't you take Jalen Carter?

But we got Donald Wright, he's a really good offensive line, but you can't have it both ways. But when you're watching it, you're not like, fuck. I honestly, Dexter's really awesome, and I said it at the time, Jalen Carter would have been drafted to a locker room that was in complete flux, and he had some character issues, and I don't think it would have worked the same. He went to a locker room that was in complete flux and he had some character issues and I don't think it would have worked the same I went to a locker room with Brandon Graham and a bunch of veterans who probably Fletcher Cox Fletcher Cox who probably helped him a lot

You got to know like hey, we have a rebuilding team that sucks ass if we draft Jalen Carter It might not work out. You can probably also make a criticism for every other team that picked that did not take Jalen No, yeah, there's a pick. I'm CJ Stroud or who else got drafted before him I don't know But either way you got you got done all right who's a really good offensive these are best offensive linemen So you can't you know what I mean? You can't be like man. They don't do anything for the offensive line Oh, yeah, you should have been Jalen Carter. So let's see here Got the draft order. But yeah, I mean, that's also like the Bears history is like,

oh, that that guy could have been. OK, Bryce Young, CJ Stroud, Will Anderson, great players, Anthony Richardson. The Cardinals could have used them with their spoon. Yeah, Paris Johnson. Yeah. Terry Wilson. Yeah, that's probably the one that's really if you're a Raiders fan, that should have been Jalen Carter.

But yeah, I mean, Jameer Gibbs went 12th yeah and people shit on that pick yeah by the way Saquon Barkley is wouldn't be a top 30 paid wide receiver that's crazy to say Gabe Davis gets paid more than him it's also I think it's fair to say that the better your team is, the more you should spend on running back. Yeah, of course. As like the final piece to make you like a great team. It's like a tight pair of jeans. Like the, if you're in really good shape then yes, spend a lot of money on tight fashionable jeans. If you're fat buy, buy Jinkos. It's why I have some sympathy for giants fans who have to to fight this fight and yes, you probably should have kept Seguin Barkley probably shouldn't have paid Daniel Jones hindsight 2020. Although a lot of Giants fans said that in the moment Yeah, but say Kwan Barkley on the Giants this year

Doesn't make the Giants a playoff team. It makes it more fun to watch They probably win a couple more games because he's their most explosive player But you're right like you you say, Gwon Barkley works when he, when it's on a great team and then he becomes the complete X factor that can dominate these types of playoffs. Like Derek Henry. Yeah, right. If the Cowboys had signed Derek Henry, who gives a shit. Right. But yeah, on a great team. On the Panthers, not the Panthers deserve credit. The Derek Henry's on the Raiders. Yeah doesn't change anything. Max let's hear from you.

It was a hard fought game. Snow games are tough. We're kind of built for the offensive line was fantastic. Eat those two long touchdown runs. Yes yes a Kwan burst through the line and was you know once he gets through He's gone, but there's huge holes and those huge holes are from the offensive line. Just dominating the trenches I'm happy with the win, but we're on the next week we're The goal is to win a Super Bowl the goals to win a Super Bowl in Philadelphia, and I'm happy with this taking this step That's very good. Can I give you you get a home game? Yeah, you get a home game Can I give you two stats max that?

Might be of use for you In terms of online discourse sure okay Here's the first one the Eagles in the playoffs are 4-0 when Jake Elliott misses an extra point. That's crazy. That's crazy. Maybe he's missing them on purpose.

I'm so nervous about him. He is nerve wracking. So bad right now. He's nerve wracking. Here's another one. Jalen Hurts didn't really, I mean the weather was a big factor didn't he also was banged up Jalen hurts in his four playoff wins 154 yards passing 121 yards passing 131 yards passing 128 yards passing Doesn't matter

Is that because they're running the football? Yeah, but he also does more. I know, I'm saying like, don't, I'm giving you these stats to use. He doesn't have to be, you know, he had the incredible Super Bowl, they lost. Yep. No, I agree. These are good stats. I agree. Maybe Jake Elliott might, that one might be a little more precarious, but yeah, yeah,

but it's still 4-0. Right. No, I had the one stat I, take it. I was going to do winter. I was Jake Elliott. So when he wins games, I wish I should be saying the reason why I said it is because Eagles fans are so pissed off at Nick Sirianni right now because for what? For the past, the past play on second down when they had the ball that he where it hurts took the sack Yeah But on the sliding scale of things that you should be upset with Nick siriani for I think like Philly fans are gonna be upset

About some right that was a bad play call. It was yeah. Yeah, it was a bad play call, but ultimately I think siriani He did the right thing also. That's Kellen Moore. No, so that yeah I had this whole thing in my head that you were that was gonna be a topic of conversation You were gonna blame siriani I I jumped the gun. Sometimes you jumped the gun in the moment We said why are you taking quarterback that can't run right now? Rolling him out to his left and having him try to escape the pocket and then stop throw across his body And then we said that's a weird play call. That's on Kellen Moore, isn't it?

We were like, yeah, it is. This is the most max thing ever that he had a pre fight. Yeah with us Hypothetical pre fight. Wait, you want to just let's run it back and play into his fantasy Yeah, but he but he had a he had a hypothetical pre fight and and never in the like wildest imaginations Realized that I actually wrote down pro Nick Sirianni stuff instead of negative Nick we're so in his head that he's thinking is the Mad Men mean like we're not even thinking about you dude yeah no that's that's that's bad we're just talking about the game I wish I could I wish I could rewind time and not have that fight that I had instead of

enjoying the win you're just paranoid he's giving himself a day to like enjoy the way I gave myself an hour. We've actually caused psychological harm to you. Yes, like we I will take up hand up Everyone in this room should put their hand up me Up we have batted just said what did I do? We have batted this man to the point fucking memes that are about me Max face shops that he's done. We have battered this man where he is literally fighting his shadow Yeah, no, I'm a broken man. And that's the other thing like I Think they're here. You're a good coach. I talked to yourself in the shower. You're still fighting yourself

I know I think Dan Campbell's a good coach. I wish I didn yourself in the shower? You're still fighting yourself. I know. I think Dan Campbell is a good coach. I wish I didn't, I wish I didn't make that fight. It had to be said though. No, I'm actually, I'm so happy you did that because of this moment right here where we just get, we just fully went into Max's mind and Max's mind is just like, it's Max larger man with his hair up in a ninja thing. He's got the kimono on and he's got maybe the Donatello stick.

What is that called? The Kinja stick? Yeah, whatever. The Kinja stick. And he's just Kinja sticking all four of us in his brain constantly. He's like, oh, I got to get them this, this, this. And I didn't even think I was in your brain, but I guess I am. We're he's like I got to get them this this this and we're I Didn't even think I was in your brain, but I guess I am yeah I need a graphic of that you can just sticking like the four of us

I don't know if it's called inside of your brain what it's called you want to know I know another secret. Yeah, I Had another fight planned in my head as well. Oh, tell us I was gonna do blind court blind quarterback resumes for the day And then do Josh Allen stats and Jalen Hurts his stats. Never was. Yeah. I had a positive jailer. I mean his touchdown run was awesome. I know. I know. And he got banged up like it was clear that he was in AJ Brown dropped an easy easy ball that would have made his stats look a little bit different. He was a tough dude today. He, I thought he made that one throw to double coverage. J.J. Brown was bad in the end zone. That was a bad throw.

That was a bad decision. But otherwise he played winning football. Like he made the plays that he had to play and he knows that he's got a running back that can do everything. Do you want to do that fight with him? No, thank you. I would prefer for my mental.

My next thing was just, I thought the Eagles, I thought they executed well today. Sir, I was play calling at times left me with a big question. Yeah. On offense and defense, offense and defense. Yeah. You pointed to pre-serial. He went to prevent defense way too early. You've ice the game Burn the clock you're having your injured quarterback roll out to his left. Mm-hmm throw across his body What the fuck are you what kind of play call was that shit? Oh, let me guess Nick Did you after Saquon Barkley ran a 74 yard touchdown pass? Did you look into the camera and point at it? No, I bet he did so sick, dude. I bet he did that was just I point at it. I bet he did. So sick, dude. I bet he did. That was just, I, it was what goes on in this guy's brain. Sometimes it makes me question. He's got shit for brains. Yeah. He's going to be there. I'm doing dumb ass thoughts. I would like to pass on this discourse. Thank you. Anything, dad. It had to be said. I just had all, I want you to

come and look at my notes after this, just so you can see that I literally had it all written down Yeah, no, no, no, that's the jail and hurts like people gonna shit on jail and hurts I don't he does what he's supposed to do and yeah There'll be moments where he has to make some more throws But he was clearly hampered by both snow and injury. Is he gonna be okay? That's a question mark his answers to that question after the game were not great. Why? What were his answers?

They asked about him, he said, we'll see how the week went. What was the injury? He got squished on his knee. I know, was it like a knee sprain? Also, the hip drop tackle just doesn't exist. Yeah. Like every single week, there's a hip drop.

Like, I'm not saying that that should have been called one Because they just haven't been calling it at all But why do they implement that rule into the game if they're just never going to call it because they wanted to invent something that looked Like they were doing something for player safety so they made the most nebulous Tackle of all time a penalty where it's like nobody We're probably not even going to enforce it during games because it's impossible to tell what is a hip drop tackle But if there's somebody that gets injured we can always find that guy a week later. Mm-hmm. Yeah, it's crying. It's crazy Yeah, uh, it's Queenie on Mitchell gonna be okay

That seems honestly which is crazy because Jalen hurts finished the game Queenie Mitchell did not The reports of that is that he will be fine, but Jalen hurts is still up in the air. Okay so if I had to guess, I think, I'm optimistic about Quinny and Mitchell. It seems like that it's just a sprain and that he'll be ready to go almost at 100% next week. Jalen Hurts, if I had to make a guess, and I'm pretty confident in this guess,

I think he will be playing at probably around 60 to 70%. I just wanna say for the record, I want the Eagles to be healthy. I want all their starters. I don't want injuries. Max and I agreed to turn injuries off this week. I want the Eagles at their best. I also would like to say this.

I want the commanders at their best as well. And I take back a lot of the criticism I had towards the commanders. They are a worthy opponent and I'm looking at them. I don't know that you can take that back. No, you can't take that back. You said a lot of things. So you want the commanders at their best.

Will you apologize for the Brock Purdy injury? If I could take back the Brock Purdy injury, I would. Okay, that's a big man of you. If I could, I would. So Max, we're getting a lot of questions I'm okay. That's a big man. Yeah, if I could I was so max We're getting a lot of questions about if we're gonna do a hair bet wait Let's say let's say this for after we talk bills raves I want to I want to preview that like light preview and we can set the stage for you guys

Because I want to I want to do that we should talk real quick Rams first of all Jared verse I love when people talk shit and then back it up. He backed it up. He had a great game He said that he hated Philadelphia fans. First of all, Jared verse, I love when people talk shit and then back it up. He backed it up. He had a great game. He said that he hated Philadelphia fans. That was awesome. I think the arrows pointing up for the Rams because they did flip this roster very quickly, but Matthew Stafford is not getting any younger. Yeah, I would agree with that. They got they got strong at running back. They've got a great running back now. Yep. And their defense is awesome. I Like this is a great I mean Cooper Cup kind of disappeared at the end of the season

He's getting a little older too. He looked okay today, but they're it's it's more like this is a weird This was a very tough game for the Rams to win in that environment They almost pulled it out at the end. They were play away. You're not happy if you're Rams fan You're pissed off. But ultimately I think the big question for Rams fans is how much older are we going to let Matt Stafford get right before we do something about it. Right. It's not like it's not like Matt Stafford sucks. He doesn't suck. No, but you have to naturally ask that. They stayed in this game and it was a nerve wracking game. I mean, even that the sack, should we talk, should we talk about the overalls?

What's the plan? So for people didn't watch the stream. We had a couple things working Mojo wise I obviously the Rams were my pinky team. I May be done with the pinky bet because that was That was the most I've been afraid and I know people like there were two games away from the Super Bowl the idea of the Rams being able to host an NFC championship game and then a your what like if they get if a pinky team ever gets a Super Bowl I'm gonna shit myself I don't know what I'm gonna do I would be a wreck I think the move is if it's like the Chiefs and the Rams and this year's Super Bowl then you just

bet your dick on the Chiefs and that way if the Rams win at least they only cut my finger off that's true That's a good point. But I might be done with it because it was. You're actually playing, you're doing the pinky bet in the safest era to do it in because it's just Patrick Mahomes every year. True. But there's just no upside.

It was the moment when I had to explain it to Coach Gruden and he was like, what? It really stuck to me. Like, why do you do this? But listen, I'm not gonna make any rash decisions It really stuck to me like why why do you do this? But what? Listen, I need to I'm not gonna make any rash decisions. Yeah after successfully keeping all ten of my fingers for another season You know, it's an emotional season a long season like Dan Campbell said so I'm not gonna I'm not gonna do any retirement talk until we maybe get in the office You see how you feel after training camp. That was insanely stressful.

I think Max, you felt the stress on me. But we had, so we had two things. We had the TV broke in the gambling cave for the first, in the first quarter, and they had to reset it. And I pulled up my phone. And as I pulled up my phone, Jalen Hurst ran for a touchdown.

And after he ran for a touchdown, the TV came back on and Jake Elliott missed an extra point so for the rest of the game I was basically playing a game of should I watch it on my phone should I not I went and took a shit and watched on my phone and the Rams went three and out and I was like there's something about this phone and then we also had Max overalls he had a sweatshirt on over his overalls we flipped the coin to see if he should do overalls or not well the the chat just started spending a shit ton of money for me to do it. And at that point I felt bad that fans were spending their hard earned money to see me

in the overalls so I thought I would give them at least a drive and then obviously. It was instant safety. Instant safety. Do you think they were spending their hard earned money in the chat because they wanted to see you win in overalls because they wanted to see you win in overalls or they want to see you lose in overalls Probably wanted to see me lose, but I respect the fans mm-hmm Max are you gonna be wearing the overalls for the NFC championship game see that's what I don't know because I

May just need to wear them underneath the sweatshirt again because they're called overalls. Yeah, so I might be wearing underalls. Yeah, you're wearing under. I might be wearing underalls because it's kind of if it's not broke, don't fix it. Right. It's not even. It went well when I had the underalls under my sweatshirt. But you're also wearing underwear. So wearing underalls under my sweat under my sweatshirt, but you're also wearing underwear

So wearing underalls over your underwear you're wearing middle Campbell of alls No, I'm not Dan Campbell good coach. I wish I never said that it was it was pre anger It's pre anger sometimes more potent than just anger. That's right after the game max he to his credit He went right into the weight room started working out and by working out I mean just sitting on the bench press just refreshing Twitter trying to see if There were any injury news that he could I did end up do I think I did I I sat there for about an hour and a Half and I think I did

Five five sets of bench press. Oh, which still counts. It does count That's still kind of probably also was just watching our Twitter to see if we tipped our hand on what angle we know Yeah, I was watching so many I cannot wait The one thing that I will say about the highlights I cannot wait for the baldy breakdown of how good Jalen Carter was in this game. He was incredible. He's so fucking good Yeah, incredible of how good Jalen Carter was in this game. He was incredible. He's so fucking good. He was incredible. And I think that scares me because being down our right guard, our best offensive lineman, that is, it's troubling to think about that.

That dude scares me, your offensive line scares me too. He was insane, he was insane. But good win. Do you see the graphic that memes posted? He's got a memes graveyard. So these are memes that he constructs in anticipation of something potentially happening. Okay.

And then when it doesn't happen, then he has to just throw them by the wayside. So there's a big graveyard of memes out there that never get used. And the one for the NFC Championship game, if it was going to be Rams versus commanders, was me for the commanders and then Big Cat holding up a hand with the pinky cut off for the Rams. And he also had a max sad, sad max with my face over it. You see that? Yeah. Yeah. I honestly didn't know that that was your face.

I thought he was just posting sad Max. Max do you want to say anything about the spitting? Now that's that's passion. I'll never apologize for that. Good. Good. Fact. No, that's that's passion. I'll never apologize for that good good fact Okay, we are gonna talk about the matchup and little like preview of what's coming this week But let's get to the last game before we do that bills 27 Ravens 25 Wow, this is an awesome game and

This is another two things can be true. Lamar had an incredible drive at the end of the game. Mark Andrews is having probably the worst night of anyone in America right now because he not only fumbled, but he dropped the two point conversion. Lamar had two turnovers and he hasn't had two turnovers all year and he now has four games four of his eight playoff games has two plus turnovers. I don't want to do the like Lamar socks in Lamar because he doesn't suck. But it's okay to say that he did not play his best when the Ravens needed him to play his best. Sometimes it's hard to beat good teams on the road. That's a fact. And that's what he ran into.

Yeah. And the Ravens, to their credit, they did keep running the ball. This is not on Harbaugh, like we could say it was last year. This game, I would say it's on two guys. It's probably on Marc Andrews and Lamar. Yeah. And the fumble that he had was a weird fumble.

I don't know how he dropped that ball. He was getting tackled around his legs. And then he just kind of dropped it. But I didn't get hit out. There will be, this will obviously be the narrative coming out of this game is playoff Lamar can't get it done. And while it's very reductive to say that, because I still think he's one of the best quarterbacks in the NFL, uh, you, you can't, he didn't play his best. He had his, he actually had his worst game probably of the year because he had two turnovers and you need your best player to play his best in these games.

I like that we've got a nice clean hierarchy for now though of AFC West quarterbacks, right? Uh, if, if, or AFC quarterbacks. Yeah. It goes Patrick Mahomes, Josh Allen, Lamar Jackson, and Joe burrow. If he was in the playoffs, he'd just probably be beating everybody Yeah, but it's it sucks for Lamar because obviously you have all this season where you were incredible I mean he had four turnover for interceptions all year and then he threw one and I know that was probably miscommunication with Bateman, but the the fumble

Led to points and that was and they were playing from behind the whole game. Like that was, he put them in a spot where it was not great for the Ravens and especially a team that likes to play from ahead and run the ball. I also do think that that two point conversion, the first one, that one kind of didn't make any sense because they ran right down the field and then they passed in the two-point it's not just that they passed they also moved Derek Henry out to the side where he wasn't even a threat of running the ball yeah they just got him out of the play entirely the thing I'll say about the Bills here so the reason why I like the Bills in this game better than the Bills this

game we talked about on Friday if you thought the Bills Ravens first game was gonna be just a replay for today you just weren't paying attention to who the Bills had back on defense and The two of the biggest plays in the game came from two of those guys Matt Milano Tipped the pass on the first two-point conversion to keep it a two-point game And then Bernard who didn't play in the first game had the game-changing fumble on Marc Andrews that was really like that was that did change the game, had the game-changing fumble on Mark Andrews that was really like, that did change the entire course of the game,

because I don't know what the Bills' plan was. Obviously, you win and you just survive in advance. They had a very weird offensive game plan where they were just very conservative, and they didn't let Josh Allen just be Josh Allen. It was a lot of dump- offs, running the ball a lot. Maybe they saw something, they were like, we can control the game this way.

But I thought the second half for the Bills, they were just trying to hold on instead of just taking it to the Ravens and finishing that game earlier. I think there were multiple times where each team was just trying to kill as much of the clock as possible. Right, so scared of the other guy. That was the game plan, is like just end with the ball.

And I mean, who knows what would have happened if Mark Andrews catches that two point conversion. He should have caught it. It was a very easy catch for him, but there's still a lot of time left in that game. Yep. This is growth though. You want to talk about growth with Josh Allen. There was the run that he had. There was a four minutes, 15 seconds left in the game. Third and goal from the two yard line. Josh keeps it, runs up the middle. Yep. And he thinks he stops himself like mid action. He thinks about trying to pitch the ball out of a group of like four Ravens defenders back to James Cook, who's standing like 12 yards away

as Josh's arms are tied up. He he wanted to do it. And in that moment, Josh was like, you know, all the people that think maybe you shouldn't be so reckless with the ball all the time. They're right in the circumstance. And he pulled it in and got tackled. Yeah. That was third down or second? That was third down. Third and goal. Yeah, you're right. Yeah, absolutely right. That was, that's, that's personal growth. Yeah. He was definitely looking to pitch it And it probably would end up costing them dearly

I that would have been a tough play to make so credit to Josh Allen for not being a for not matching all the buttons Yeah, he had what he held on to it. Yeah, what's the just go down button? Why yeah, he hit why? He made the right choice. Yeah, also Josh Allen like so he statistically he didn't it wasn't like he lit the world on fire No, they didn't they really didn't try to go deep often But he's such a weapon when you get into goal line where he had those two touchdown runs where it's like you get within Ten yards and Josh Allen's is going to just pull you over a couple times And I do think he's gonna have to they're to have to let him be himself more against the chiefs

because you can't, you just can't expect to beat Patrick Mahomes in his house unless Josh plays out of his mind. And I think he has that in them. But, uh, it was the bills, they, their defense stood up like besides that really long Ravens drive, they did, they had a really good plan for, for Derek Henry and they weren't gonna let him they weren't gonna let the Ravens run it down their throat that you could see that that from the very jump that was their plan they're like we're gonna have to let Lamar beat us with his arm which he did a couple times but for the most part the plan worked and they made the big plays when you had to make the big plays they got

three turnovers that changed the game they had enough plays where they stopped Eric Henry for one or two yards and just hit the fuck out of them up the middle that it set a tone for their defense. And Derek was never ever like he had a couple of nice runs in the open field that they kind of shoe string tackled him on. But if you can, if you can prevent them from doing the home run ones where he goes 70 yards scores a touchdown, good job to the bill's defense linebackers and Ed Oliver was hitting people too. Great game from Ed. Yeah, the Bills defense stood up when they needed to stand up and the Bills keep going. By the way, we should mention also the DPI call at the end of the first half was

bullshit. Yeah. Ravens fans, similar to Texas fans, you have a right to be upset about that. Also, but if we're doing fairness, the Deion Dawkins hold call was bullshit and that was when the Bills were driving and they immediately had to punt after that. The only person who thought the DPI call wasn't a good call or was a good call was Tony Romo.

Mm-hmm, Tony Romo. Let James Cook, you ever heard of that one? Let James Cook. They're trying to impose their will. their opposing their will. Yep over and over Yeah, Tony, but they're well also shout out Josh Allen He did the Aaron Rodgers where he just developed a spontaneous southern accent in the postgame interview Yeah, was that the perk Rogers game? I think so. I think that was a perk Rogers I mean we got perk perk Allen today, but yeah, the Bills are a tough team. I I

Don't know the Chiefs We need the Bills I they can't play conservative like they did it did feel in the second half because they had the perfect first Half they go up 21 10 before halftime they get the ball and it just felt like they're like, hey We're just gonna hold on here. I will say Sean McDermott I did like I know we've we've had a lot of discourse about're just going to hold on here. I will say Sean McDermott, I did like, I know we've, we've had a lot of discourse about being aggressive, trying to win the game. I thought that was the right call to kick that field goal, uh, with four minutes left because it was a long two. Well, if it was one, maybe you do the, the, the push, but with two and to be able to go up eight and

exactly what happened, the Ravens have to go down the field score and then get a two-point conversion at the moment I was like, I think you got to kick the field goal here weird stuff happens and on that two-point conversion Yeah, it should have been a catch should have been two points But because you played it smart kick to field goal put him in a position where weird shit benefits Yeah, you you put him in a position where they have to execute an extra play Yeah, it's like you have another chance to have them not be able to execute this play. Max, I'm curious to hear your take on this. There was a Baltimore radio host that called Buffalo a city of losers today. Would you concur with that guy?

They lose a lot in the playoffs. Would you concur that there's a city of losers? Because then Sean McDermott said in his post-game speech, City of losers Because then Sean McDermott said in his postgame speech This is a city of winners the people of the city deserve more than whoever said that about about them The do you agree with Sean McDermott or the radio host that called them a city of losers? I Would say they're probably in between not necessarily losers nor winners I'm sure the the citizens of Baltimore Buffalo. Oh wait Buffalo's winners or Baltimore's the Baltimore radio host called Buffalo is city of Buffalo. Yeah

No, Buffalo is a city of winners They've never won a Super Bowl. No, the people are winners though, but the yeah No, the team the team is not won a Super Bowl. So yeah, he's kind of backtracking on the whole winner loser thing Sounds like you're confused. Yeah. Yes. Yeah, no I am That's fine. I'm not I I'm not calling anyone a loser. I'm saying that there's winners, and then there's everyone else Patriots winners Chiefs winners oh I would love Buffalo to get to the Super Bowl. I would love it. It would be so fucking awesome.

Rue for the Bills and Bills fans. What's that face, Hank? You okay? What is that face? Big Cat took a piss. I had to piss. We pre-taped the ads. I had to piss. We were going to take a break. What are you going to do?

He's not using the sink. What do you want me to do? I had to piss. It's gonna take a break. What are you gonna do? He's not using the sink. What do you want me to do? I had to piss. Yeah, it just grosses, gross me out. Why is that gross? The sound, the sound, just, I, number one sports podcast. What do you mean, what do you mean, what do you mean, you need sound?

I was still talking during that. I was following along. I had to piss. So what's your take on it? Buffalo is trying to be a city of winners. They're trying their best. They're trying their best to be a city of winners There's a better way than I put it, but I concur they're on their path to trying to be winners

This is their year. This is their fucking year fuck. Oh, man. We're gonna win Sunday Buffalo I don't know is that what's the thing where they have like sister schools or sister cities like Buffalo in New Orleans? Oh, that is the same city and it doesn't make sense, but it does like Buffalo is gonna win a Super Bowl It should be in New Orleans Yeah, it would be it would be awesome. I mean Partying with with Bill's fans all week would be awesome. Yeah, I want to I want Hank to Know I get it they. They're both drunk. Yeah.

That's what he was going for. They're just drunk. Okay. Okay. They're drunk. I feel like they're very different cities. No. It's called Buffalo.

New Orleans is like a huge tourist trap of a city. Sister cities. Sister cities. Sister cities. Sister cities. They don't always look alike, Max. It's fair. But they can still be sisters. They don't always look alike Max It's fair, but they can still be sisters Yeah, one has like huge tits that they show every couple you know a couple times a year

The other little weird one likes beef on Weckenwinks. They're sisters though Yeah, Buffalo's got a great personality, right? I love Buffalo we've been to Buffalo the city the people of Buffalo are great The city of Buffalo is great. Have you guys thought about that possibility? Because obviously if you go, if either of you goes against the chiefs, America is going to be on your side. I'm taking it one game at a time. We'll be on your side. If you guys go against the bills,

I will be rooting for my friend, Josh Allen. Yeah. I expect that Buffalo would probably be the, the darling of America if they got got I'm not worried about that You can control what you can control that's not true Hank no, it's true. I've thought about it. Trust me I've done the calculations. No, no, I'm saying it's the bills. Oh, yeah Commanders against the bills. I would not roof. I thought you're I thought you were saying I would never root for the Eagles no no no no bills Eagles I'd root for Josh full full-throated if it was

Bills full-throated, but yeah, I said it uh I mean listen we get accused of it So why not just come out and say we do it uh if it was bills commanders I think I would just take a step back and be like well There's a positive one way or the other That's not you would root for the bills. I don't know you said like two weeks ago that I know that I would lose the super I know but then I Hope you don't get to the Super Bowl I said it would be bullshit if you got to the Super Bowl I hadn't really think about what would happen if you got to the Super Bowl because then it's like

One of the closest people in my life to have a ton of happiness I think I'd have to be like, yeah, I want Josh Allen to win. I am rooting, I'm rooting for the commanders and I'm rooting for the Bills. No, I think if you went to the Super Bowl PFT, I would be rooting for you because I mean, it would be fucking awesome for you.

I'd be, I'd get back to probably being bitter about Jaden Daniels, but I'd be happy for you. Why wouldn't it be, why wouldn't it be awesome for me? Nah, we all know what we want. I mean, Max, you want the sad man. You had your shot and you got to the Superbowl and you would never see somebody rooting harder for you in that Superbowl than Big Cat was because he had 20,000, $200,000 on the line. Yeah, no, maybe that maybe that's the recipe then that I don't need. Yeah I'm ready for the Eagles. I don't care who we play on the other side. I'm in for the Eagles All right. Let's let's wrap up this really. Yes. I don't know about that. Let's wrap up this game

Ravens what do they do? I Don't know that you change anything. It's gotta be I mean they're starting to get to that point of like What's happening I don't I don't know that you make any drastic changes I don't know that you can look at this game and say like the the guys that made mistakes Mark Andrews still a good player Yeah, the more you guys see the tweet from the Ravens. No They tweeted a pregame clip of Mark Andrews warming up and was like Mark Andrews not affected by the snow. Oh shit. So maybe you do cut them. Yeah. I, I just, I, yeah, you still have to keep going because you have Lamar Jackson and

your windows open as long as you have Lamar Jackson. But this is now how many years of Lamar Jackson being one of the best quarterbacks in the NFL and they have not, I mean they had a, I wonder last year probably hurt more. Yeah. Because there were favorites at home against Chiefs and they and they lost. A little snow doesn't bother Mark Andrews was the word. Maybe you cut the social media person. I think what happens is Raven's fans just go into next season with an impending sense of sense of doom. Whereas this season it was like, okay, this is the year we believe they still were very optimistic Lamar was playing as good as he has in his entire career and they were the hottest team. But next year you go into the season being like a little

bit jaded. I don't know that we can do anything until I see it. Yeah. Because they were the hottest team. But next year you go into the season being like a little bit jaded. I don't know that we can do anything until I see it. Yeah, because they were playing. I mean, you know, they beat the Steelers, they kicked the shit out of the Texans down the stretch and they were they were it felt like everything was clicking at the right time for them. And yeah, they go back to the well. They go back to the well. That's a tough one. That's really we're gonna try to get Stavion So maybe he can answer that for us. I feel bad, but I'm gonna have to ask him

I'm not gonna I didn't ask him today. I'm gonna wait till tomorrow it kind of sucks whoever lost this game was gonna have to deal with a significant narrative right right and as members of the media it's our responsibility to Uphold those narratives right and they would. And they would have both quarterbacks had stat like Lamar with the turnovers and Josh, they didn't really stretch the field and they didn't let him be himself. So they both, whoever lost was going to have to answer to it. It was going to be execution by the internet. Yeah.

Pft max What's this week gonna be like for the AWLs for us in the room? How are we feeling? Speaking for myself. I'm going to be on edge all week. Yeah. I mean, to be fair, I'm playing with house money. Max has a lot more to lose than I do right now. If the commanders- Oh, I like this.

If the commanders lose the NFC championship, this is the start, like, the window's open. Our window is just, I'm lifting up the window right now. It's cracked and I'm getting that nice, that nice gust of cool air in on a hot summer day So this is the start of something for max. This is like maybe Middle and middle to end of something the pressure I feel like I'm playing with house money But I'm still gonna be very nervous this week because it's the biggest game that I've seen since 1992 I don't disagree. I don't disagree with anything. He just said yeah

I think that's that's why there's a difference in to me or you are Watching the highlights you're celebrating the win. It's been over 24 hours. You're back to work I watched 14 hours worth of highlights my phone died the battery on my phone died twice Since the game ended last night because I was watching too many highlights Yeah, no, I I don't I'm on I'm on to next week. You you don't care about I don't care that I just beat the right that I just that I don't care about being in the conference championship. It's So little to me. It's on day right now. I've moved on just turn 1201 Back to work. Okay If the Eagles if the Eagles lose on Sunday this season is

a complete failure what about Andrews lose which is a terrifying place to be yeah what about for this podcast will be the lowest point will be the lowest point no I think it'll be a really downloaded episode. Will it be the lowest point max? Yeah, and I have not had bit Don't have a good track record But that's actually way worse that you've had only low points and this will be the lowest point I mean the Super Bowl max but I think this might like the super bowl is worse the super Bowl was was But I think this might like the super bowl is worse the super bowl was was

The opening of a window and you lose some homes as much as it sucks. It's Patrick Holmes He would have to look at you every single day Pretty much the rest of his life because he says only lived to 45 and That will be in his head every single day and you know Pft would buy every single piece of NFC champion gear Oh my god, that would basically be his wardrobe by the shit. No one will make my own the play Have you ever seen a plaid NFC championship shirt? You're about to I Have one

Losing to Hank is worse than losing to PFT, I will say. Have you lost to PFT? No, well yes, I have lost. Regular season. Correct, but you're so much more of an asshole. And the look on your face when you went, like there's a part of, PFT will be, he'll have his moment and it'll suck to see him, but I won't hate him the way that I hate Hank.

However, I do care way more about the Eagles than I do the Sixers and the Sixers, that was such a long shot for them to like, the Eagles have a real chance of winning. They're a three and two. No, but the Sixers are the Sixers, like the chances of them, like they weren't in like a like a like the The Eagles are favored to win the Super Bowl right now The Sixers were never favored to win the NBA Finals

They're favored to win the Super Bowl, but they're probably gonna be underdogs to whoever they play from the AMC As of as of right now the Eagles are favored to win the Super Bowl. They are in a window like This is a time that you have to win. Especially, I mentioned it earlier, Jaden Daniels is terrifying. That game against the Lions was incredible. He looked like a guy that I am very scared of for a very long time, and you gotta beat him now.

You gotta beat him now. I, you gotta beat him now Yeah I think if any if any rookie quarterback is capable of doing what seems to be impossible and winning a Super Bowl in their first year What I've seen from Jaden he seems to be the kind of guy that could do that That's that sort of Dami Brown was so fucking good Yeah, and I'm not saying that I'm not confident that the commanders are gonna win the Super Bowl But I think that they could which is crazy the growth that we've seen out of this guy's two games way You absolutely yeah We absolutely could and I'm entitled to think soupy now because I'm by thinking soupy that just means I'm thinking about this game this weekend

Yeah, so yeah, I agree listen max We said it before we started taping like things are things are gonna get contentious by the end of the week I'm I think we're both trying to start this week out not firing the other guy up too much not talking as much shit because that's naturally going to occur as we get closer to the NFC championship but shout the NFC East we are who the NFC people thought the NFC North was PM TV we should try to we should do like some kind of competition where Hank and I verse max pft let him get get maybe closer as friends you can get him

on the same team I think I'm gonna just scout max this week I'm gonna watch a lot of max film I'd like I'm gonna get out a lot of bad tape I'll tell you that much mm-hmm what I think I think I think I should throw everything I do is bad oh he's talking about himself himself okay yeah no yeah who sleep on it obviously and I think we can we can reconvene Tuesday but people have been saying it a lot and you guys do both have long hair we do I was thinking maybe a mullet bet oh I would do five by the by Super Bowl tickets bet I Think it's not fair. I know I also want to say for the record that if the Eagles We have our great friends at game time are lucky enough to make this a rule I think Mac should attend that game in person. Yes, so wait

I was gonna ask this memes Hank who you guys rooting for so I am in a interesting spot because Why are you asking? He has an answer yeah, no shit. I have an answer for everything everyone does I Went on a heater a couple weeks ago I was up I went up like 15 grand on one Sunday, and I was like I'm gonna put a future I put it on the Eagles $5,800 biggest future I've ever put on plus 450 Right now I could cash out for 10 grand so I could cash out and make money

But I don't think I should no So I think I'm gonna I I will make a decision by the end of the week I will also be sleeping on it, And I thought initially going into this game, I was like, if the Eagles win, I'm cashing out and running for the commanders. Once that happened and I was looking at it, I have thought about it more and the Eagles I feel like are the better team. They got more guys, better defense. Commanders are playing with house money.

If they lose, they're not going to be that upset about it. My gut, my Sunday gut is telling me to stick with the Eagles and ride with Matt I just I think the commander the team is going to be upset. They lose very upset. Well, obviously but but That's what you just said I Honestly think that's a better scenario for you Like I think that that is a reason well Hank's been betting against us all season long So why mess up a good thing and people are gonna bring up the. I have $100 on the commanders to win like $1000. I have $5800 on the Eagles to win the Super Bowl to win $38,000.

And the other thing that I'm thinking about because I'm a next level thinker, the Eagles have a much better chance to beat the Chiefs. That's true. And so I don't want to root for the commanders, have them win and then just get smoked by the Chiefs and then three-peat. So I'm leaning heavily Eagles. Memes? No offense, but that's understandable.

That's not, that wasn't, that's not a personal thing. Counterpoint. Everyone thought that the Lions were going to smoke the commanders. The Lions don't have devil magic. That's true. They have actually like the word they have just the devil on like against yeah memes I Woke up. I was gonna root for PFT to win the Super Bowl and then he tweeted a picture of Amy Schumer interviewing for the Jets head coaching job Just completed her interview.

I like that meme. Cause I actually. Cause I actually. Everybody. That's all the joke was. We get to stay in New Orleans. Well no, so memes that yeah. That's I, I, we were talking about it before and if the Eagles go to the Super Bowl...

I think you will be able to regardless memes. Yeah, you might be able to regardless. No, I gotta do the podcast. If the Eagles go to the Super Bowl, Max is gonna go to the Super Bowl, Max? Yes, I would love to go to the Super Bowl. So Max is gonna go to the Super Bowl, but we will not stay in New Orleans because we can easily have Max zoom in after the game. If the commanders go, PFT is gonna go to the Super Bowl and we can't do a Super Bowl show with PFT and I both on zoom. So I'd have to stay three extra days in New Orleans and I want to kill myself just thinking about that. No offense New Orleans but I also like I'd like to see my kids.

Why don't you just fly back and then fly back? That sounds even worse That sounds way worse so it sounds like a pfD got a stacked I actually was thinking about stacked against fun I want anybody anybody any no anywhere I was wanted to root for the commanders and then I cuz I want to see max sad But then when we mapped out the plans I was like wait what we have to do to Monday and then I'm going on vacation on Wednesday so I basically just wouldn't see my kids for two weeks now it's suck a lot I won't be perfectly perfectly clear I do not give a shit

who you guys root for I know I just wanted to throw it out there for the listeners yeah listeners might want to know who the I'm on your side Thanks memes. Oh you're back. No, no cuz we're staying till Monday Oh me and memes all the way always been best friends. I that's huge for me that felt like a oh the graphic I felt like a graphic. All right, I'm back. I also might switch. I Might switch to I might try to figure out how to just not go to New Orleans until the Super Bowl Skip Super Week. I wish the if the bills I was the bills to use game was first Yeah, yeah, if the bills win, I'm cashing out in rooting for the bills

I wait Yeah It was really nice being able to watch the games today knowing that I was already in the NFC Championship game next week It's gonna suck because I'm either gonna well if I lose I'm gonna be so upset during the AFC championship game that I'm not gonna be able to properly enjoy it mm-hmm man this is gonna be fun this house money fun is yeah I wish I had house money in a vacuum take take your headphones off 50 in a vacuum big hat. Yeah, I Think the exact same thing I thought before the Lions commanders game and I ended up putting the commanders I know I didn't bet a money line, but I bet him eight and a half

The Eagles are a better team Jaden Daniels is special like I don't If they play this game ten times I think it's five five because I think Jaden Daniels just does something if you give him the ball late He's gonna do something special and he's going to beat them. So Yeah on paper Eagles are way better most talented Russian the NFL They don't have Jayden Daniels That's just it just keeps sticking in my head. It's just barely beat him with with

That's just it just keeps sticking in my head. It's just barely beat him with with Can he pick it but it but it doesn't matter There's something going on that you just can't like the Eagles dropped a pick at the end of that game to Didn't they didn't they drop? No, oh, they Smith dropped a drop. That's right I'm the game end of the game right like that shit is happening where it's it doesn't matter We should also say though that Jayden did throw two interceptions Wait, you were supposed to be listen. Yeah. No, I'm just saying I want to make sure to point that out because We have to talk about that. No. No, I I told you no notes Jane Daniels I I I have given Jane Daniels the utmost respect in this in this episode

Yeah, so max and I are both being very careful with our words. Yeah, it's early. It's early. It's early in the week We're gonna ease our way into we're gonna work up a lather by Friday both being very careful with our words. Yeah, it's early. It's early. It's early in the week. We're going to ease our way into we're going to work up a lather by Friday. I agree with everything that Big Cat just said, by the way. The Eagles are for sure are I think you agree with that. The Eagles are the better team, but we don't have Jaden Daniels as a scary player.

I would cut. Yeah, on paper the roster. No, they are. The team is better, but but jaden daniels and the Team of destiny vibes of the commanders is a thing, but you also have to look as we're better you guys still won that game Scrubs thing is the lines were not better. We were the better team It's not like like our guys were better than their guys on Saturday that yeah, that's all their. Because all their guys were hurt. Yeah, no, I mean, obviously. But in the grand scheme of things, if you were,

like the Lions were the better football team all year than the commanders. But on that, yes, obviously on that day, the commanders were better. But overall, you wouldn't say that. If you look at this whole team. Yeah. Yeah, if we're doing a guy offoff. Yeah, I would agree with yeah

I what's the most important position? quarterback and that's what I am I am I'm agreeing with you. Yeah, I think I've also realized that I'm for Logistics standpoint. I think I want the Eagles to win the NFC championship if the commanders win the NFC championship, I think I am gonna be rooting for the commanders in Super Bowl because I'm gonna have to stay an extra three days and I want it to be worth it. Yeah, not against the Bills though.

You're gonna root for the Bills. I don't know dude. Again, it comes down to like you actually, like that you're there and it's like your ultimate happiness. I would, I'd be bitter about Jay and Daniels, but I'd be happy for you. And I'll also be like at least we stayed for you to win Yeah, I think you lost and like fuck why'd we stay on the numbers side of it misery always does better than being happy, right?

Well, we're getting that no matter what Beauty this that is the beauty of this if and we get a chance we get a chance for double misery I mean it can't be against the Chiefs Hank is really telling you P.fFC double misery bills if you get to I'm not with you next Sunday, but if you get to the thing win the whole fuck, but no actually that's what I'm that's Where I'm at if you get to the Super Bowl you fucking win that whole thing. I kind of agree actually I would rather have I do not agree max misery Pft. When the Super Bowl but also I have this

fucking stupid like the worst-case scenario here is you is is the Chiefs just with I would also say that's what's gonna happen it's like we go in we go to the super world and then that's pod yeah so that's why I'm like I will be rooting for you I I'll also say that if we get to the Super Bowl if we're lucky enough to win the Super Bowl that night is statistically my most probable night of dying that I think I've ever had in my life. New Orleans, Super Bowl victory. I'm 40.

Your man. That's like, if you look at a pie chart of different days and how likely I was to die on each day in my entire life that would be like 12% of the entire pie just that one day just promise me if I have to stay three extra days in New Orleans you win the whole thing okay that's all I ask then it's worth it for me but listen I'm focused on this week yeah I understand but could you promise yeah promise okay if the commanders go to the Super Bowl I'm gonna get more drunk that that weekend than I did last year Then I did the last time because I will be so miserable that I am like I will be so miserable

I'm gonna probably I'm probably gonna game of the year at the commander's money line to try to make that extra three days New Orleans worth it. I don't hate it. Yeah, I might have to do that because I might just be like fuck it I'm going all in with you like If you're gonna be miserable, I'll just join you memes also has something to say I know misery sells but has Anything positive happen to you guys that like we know the outcome of that like numbers wise number wise Double doing was the most listen to no misery dude misery. It's positive happen. No Hank was in the victory parade. That was huge, but that's it's misery parting with you No, it's after they won two Super Bowls misery is two times. What would happen? Okay?

I think it would actually be I think people would listen at a super high clip if it was commanders chiefs in the Super Bowl and The commanders beat the homes and the chiefs. Yeah. I think that would do some numbers. But it still would be misery. Yeah. Misery is always number one. Sickos and perverts love it.

But we don't know. No, I think we know. Yeah, we know. It's how the internet works memes. You are a student of the internet. You live on the internet. I think that, yeah, I think the NSC championship game will be bigger.

That will be a bigger episode regardless of what happens in the super bowl what clips get watched more when it's like when fans freak out and lose or when fans get happy uh the hank celebrating the boston celtics went viral but freak outs and losses are max's super bowl loss wasn't bigger hank what you just said was though. You think that the episode after the NFC championship game is going to be bigger than the episode after super bowl potentially if it's a close if it's a if it's a yeah, I don't know about that either way. We're in a good spot. God's in AWL. Just not the good work boys. Uh, who do you guys like tonight?

Ohio state, Ohio state. Yeah. But I think Lou Holtz is going to be in the building. What are you shaking your head about? Max? I forgot that there was a college of game. This is why they shouldn't do. There's been zero buzz about this game in the division negative buzz about this is why the season lasts too long I've been locked in on NFL. I haven't had time this guy feels like an exhibition. I do think a national championship I mean, Ohio State's the better team. I Feel like it's one of those things where like Notre Dame

Two out of ten times maybe could win this game. They gotta get Will Howard to turn the ball over They gotta be able to like I mean Notre Dame's defense very good I do love Notre Dame's rushing attack too. Yeah, and Riley Leonard is gonna have to play perfect But it could be there get him into a tight game. Let Marcus Freeman out coach Ryan Day. I Just I'm worried about Notre Dame's rush defense and I yeah yeah if you get if Ryan Day is sweating in the second half he's gonna drop the ball in the problem with the problem with Ohio State like obviously everyone knows Jeremiah Smith

and they got dudes everywhere but like their defense their defensive line is so nasty and they'll just be able to get pressure with four and be able to play coverage and I Notre Dame doesn't exactly have like they don't have a Jeremiah Smith. That's really what it comes out They don't have a difference maker on the outside. Oh, the fives on He's quick. He could do something. It's probably a lot of state. But yeah, the College football season goes on too long Also, we talked about it with boogers, so if you want a full preview.

I'm okay with the season going on this long because it's more football. We have a meaningful football game tomorrow night, but also I was not thinking at all about college football this week. I'm not saying do less football, just do it earlier. Yeah. Like there's spots in the schedule

where they could just be like, hey, we're gonna play a game instead. And now the the college football national championship should be like January 10 at the latest. Yeah. That's, that's what it feels like make week zero week one, or just get rid of the conference championships and start to play off. So yeah, that's really just give the conference championship to whoever the home like whoever would have won the home team seating for the conference champion Also, there's an entire week between conference championship week and the or two weeks between conference championship week in the playoffs

Yeah, but also keep our army Navy as a standalone Matt to play it on a different day. I don't like that. I like that as standalone. Yeah, I just it's too late It's too late for it.

Yeah So Saturday our national nightmare is over Yeah, Saturday because there was an announcement last week that they were banning TikTok on January 19th. Saturday, if you went on TikTok, every single person was, basically there was people crying.

Everyone was acting like the world was ending. People at this office asking us to not fire them. People in this office asking us to not fire them. What's going to happen? How is this going to affect us? You would have thought the world was ending. Oh, the funny trend that was happening was like, you know, Tick Talkers and influencers that got big on the Tick Talk app were basically

revealing all their dirtiest secrets like, oh, you know, one last day on this app. I might as well tell you this and then just tell like basically them like lying about something or doing something nefarious. And then it like is's gonna crash and so you just confess your love to the person that you're next to yes yeah it was analogy like life does go on well basically that's it that's what what's the almost famous that it was basically that scene in almost famous because it got banned I think 10 o'clock and then the next Sunday morning it was back just

completely fine mm-hmm but what it's what a smart marketing move by TikTok to have everybody celebrate the death of your app, talk about how great it is, start crying because they can't use your app anymore. Boom, we're back. Yeah, it wasn't even 24 hours. I thought it was going to be maybe till the inauguration like officially happened, but no, they just, they brought it back Sunday morning. Yeah. Yeah. So we're back. So tick tock is back.

What about all the influencers that signed up for, for, was it red scare? Red note. Red note. Yeah. The Chinese government owned app. That's like glorified. I think in the terms of service, it said to promote the values of socialism. Yeah. And we were like sharing, there was, there was a bunch of clips of like people sharing videos from aircraft carriers and shit. Yeah, not great So tick tock back Ticktocks back. I think they said they're they're doing like a 90 day

Extension and then it might be banned again, but there's just no way that it ever gets banned I thought that Supreme Court was it like nine nothing. It was unanimous and it upheld the ban Was it like nine nothing it was unanimous and it upheld the ban But it's back. So how like we're back. Yeah, we're back. If you can beat a nine nothing Supreme Court vote They beat the out. Yeah, that's like having infinity stars in GTA. It also is like Zuckerberg is Are we much better or the other apps much better? Like everyone's gonna switch like I don't I don't I've never understood that part of it Well the thing about I read something and I think it was from devil,

you know, versus the devil, you don't. Yeah. From the court briefing on, on what they were saying about Tik TOK. I think that would tick tock. If you like, if you have Tik TOK and let's say your mom doesn't have Tik TOK by you being on Tik TOK and allowing access to your contacts, the Chinese government now has access to everything about your mom, who's not even on the app. But they have that shit anyway. They have it all. Everyone has. Brother's watching everything. If you have an iPhone, everything's out there.

Tick tock though. Congrats to everyone who makes a living on TikTok, because that would have sucked for them. Yeah. Like there's a lot of people who are probably freaking the fuck out. Yeah, there was those there was real tears going on Yeah, mm-hmm. Yeah, also did she snacking girl came back. I did see that was great. Awesome. Great She did the snacking. Oh, she ran it back. Yeah. Oh, she's like this might be the end here. It is one last time Yeah, all right PFT your who's back my who's back of the week? Well, I have an update on the Falconer for Lazio. Oh, so he disputes the claim. To refresh your memory, he is the Falconer for the soccer team.

Lazio that got never needed the surgery because he got a penis enhancement surgery and then he barricaded himself inside the team facility to protest his firing. He is claiming that he never barricaded himself inside the team facility, rather that he had a medical condition after the surgery where if he stood up, he would have started bleeding from his penis. Oh. And he said that, he said, I have a medical certificate.

If I get up, I will lose blood from my penis. So he's got a note from the doctor saying the only reason he barricaded himself was because he was not allowed to stand up And move around God, so we'll see as of now still fired I don't think the Falcon was ever in any immediate danger But we do advocate for his reinstatement as Falconer Official team Falconer ASAP mother who's back the week is wooly mammoths. Mm-hmm. They're back

there's a company called colossal biosciences and Mm-hmm. They're back. There's a company called colossal biosciences and They just raised two hundred million dollars their company's valued at ten point two billion To bring back and clone woolly mammoths. Whoa, and I'd say it's it's high time that this happened That's pretty I've been waiting for a billionaire to actually do Jurassic Park ever since that movie came out We have the technology like what bad could happen from reinventing all these old extinct animals? Yeah. So wooly mammoths might be back soon, which I would I would fucking love to see wooly mammoths walking around out there. Yeah, why not? We got coyotes. Let's do it. Why not wooly mammoths?
