The Chiefs are Super Bowl Champions

0:18

uh welcome back episode 139 of chaotically intolerant was there something big that happened this weekend

0:24

in the football world I I'm not I'm not really sure I heard something about Usher Usher at at a big Stadium I I

0:31

don't know um but no congratulations to the Chiefs they are the Super Bowl champions as as we both predicted and

0:39

people called us dumb um for thinking the Chiefs are still the Chiefs but they're still the Chiefs I mean we

0:45

called it we we were close you had the Chiefs winning by three I had the total points correct I mean we we kind of I

0:52

it's just whatever needed to happen to happen for the Chiefs happened you you

0:57

had and and it it does start start to feel more and more you know I look if

1:03

you hate the Chiefs you would have rather seen them win this game 31 to7 and then you say well hey we throw our

1:09

hands up we say chiefs are great but there's just every one of these Super Bowls they've been in has been so

1:16

painfully close I mean even the 31 to 20 I mean they were down they've been down 10 points in every Super Bowl which

1:22

Brady did it twice in his career Mahomes has now done it three times and

1:28

um I'm going to ask you and I'll give you my take what do you think the

1:34

biggest regret as far as plays for the 49ers were in this game because there's

1:40

two that come to mind for me one one specific play or just overall the way they play called one I have a big one

1:47

maybe two specific plays yeah I would like to hear yours because I have my answer

1:52

well I mean I I guess you could call this a play I I personally liked the the

1:59

hey we want the ball third in overtime because of the new rules I like that that's fine yeah I was okay with that

2:05

also it also depends I think on the situation like it was a defensive game

2:11

so I think you don't want it third in a defensive game but if you're in a very offensive game and you know both

2:16

defenses are tired you're going to go down and score easy then I would say I want it third a lot of people would say

2:21

the the fourth down earlier in the game um but again like I'm not

2:27

really that that's that's not really a big thing to me I always say take the points um that fumble I mean the the the

2:34

Muff punt the Muff punt is the number one even though that's an unlucky break that is a Patriots bounce first off like

2:41

let's say that that is literally like that when I say that is sorry my voice

2:47

for any listeners it's a little off if you think of the Patriots run that is the Bill bichan Tom Brady lucky bounce

2:57

that flips the switch that always would flip the momentum that is the type of stuff they get and some people say it's

3:04

just luck I think it's partially again we we said this I think last year or two years ago bich and Brady are on that

3:11

other sideline that gets in their heads Mahomes and Reed are on the other sideline that gets in their heads if

3:17

you're in if you're in punt coverage like realistically you should be getting 10

3:24

yards away from the football like you should be at least 10 yards away obviously you're trying to make block I

3:30

I get it but you shouldn't be close just in case anything happens you would

3:35

rather you you don't want to take that shot and I would rather my guy have to make a catch with somebody like a yard

3:42

in front of him and take that chance versus taking a chance of getting hit by the ball so I would say that would be

3:48

the number one um and I I mean you could point out any

3:53

of momes scrambles like where was a where was a spy on momes he was running it felt like in those big moments he

3:59

would every time he would pick up a run where was the Spy any of those big runs I think maybe an overtime I would say is

4:05

more of the regrettable play yeah I would say well you know it

4:11

stinks for the 49ers to think that they were a yard away from winning the game at least on a defensive stop the Muff

4:16

punt for me was was number one that I mean I was asking myself how how many

4:22

muff punts are there that get recovered by the other team in a season maybe it happens on average maybe once a week if

4:29

that in the regular season that's probably once every two weeks I would say yeah

4:34

and I mean I you know you could have fumbled punts that's that's I don't know that's a little different because you know we're running you're trying to make

4:40

a play but a muffed punt one that hits a player especially one that hits a player

4:46

who's not trying to catch the punt is it's embarrassing it's and and I mean I

4:52

had flashbacks immediately I'm sure 49er fans did Kyle Williams 2011 NFC Championship game remember that in

4:59

overtime time muff a punt uh resulted in losing the NFC Championship Game to the

5:04

Giants and he was really you know vilified he got death threats it was bad

5:10

you know and I don't I don't know if this is gonna happen to this I forget because it wasn't McLoud right it was his teammate that that it was techn yeah

5:17

his it looked like McLoud just made a stupid play trying to recover the point trying to then pick it up but it was

5:22

already alive ball so he had to pick it up but he probably should have fallen on it instead of picking it up that one was

5:29

inex usable and then as I just said before we started recording the say what

5:34

you want about Shanahan maybe not going for it on fourth down and overtime but Chris Jones was unblocked and so if you

5:42

think that the if you think luck was on the 4 on the chief's side you're absolutely right because first Dre

5:47

Greenlaw have you ever seen that you ever seen a guy running onto the field and his Achilles snaps and and teres is

5:54

aill I mean yeah you hear about stuff like that could happen in practice during the week but in a game in that

6:00

moment was and you wonder why Travis Kelce only had one catch in the first half and eight in the second half big

6:06

part of that absence of Dr Green law but then the other thing that hasn't been getting talked about I didn't even realize this I went back and watched um

6:13

some some video uh John Feliciano guard for the lineman for the 49ers I think

6:20

he's a guard he was out his replacement uh whoever was with mckivitz or one of

6:25

the whoever took over at Right Guard blocked the wrong guy in overtime there the analysts have been breaking down

6:31

this protection Chris Jones Chris freaking Jones was unblocked coming off the edge on the

6:39

third down in overtime now a lot of people were saying that auk would have been the second read KD was the outlet

6:46

and I guess it would have I guess the first read probably is Samuel or Jennings I don't know but that is a

6:53

colossal fundamental mistake from the supposedly great offensive coach and and

6:59

here's the even worst part they went on Twitter I think that I think it was Monday morning and John

7:07

Feliciano like per who who was a lineman who was a guard for the 49ers he came

7:12

out and said um uh I know you all know or I know I

7:20

know you all or what the [ __ ] how did he word this I know you know all so you

7:26

should know that that's not Colton's guy and and there it was a tweet about it

7:32

says Colton mckivitz as one of the best players in the game lined up in front of him and he decides to give him a free

7:37

rush to Brock pie um and then who responded who is

7:43

this oh and then Feliciano also said a quick chop is not needed if the guy that was supposed to block him blocks him so

7:50

they're like taking this [ __ ] to Twitter now this is I mean it's embarrassing like they you let Chris Jones Run free

7:56

in overtime of the Super Bowl and now you're taking it it's it's doubling down on the complete embarrassment and and

8:03

ineptitude like that's not something you do especially to a team this team this 49er team that won five Super Bowls in

8:10

the 80s and 90s has almost turned into the bills and Vikings the way that they

8:15

have that they have broken the lose of their fans 10-point lead in two Super

8:23

Bowls um obviously they had an almost come back against the Ravens I mentioned

8:28

Kyle Williams um the 49ers lost a game championship game at home in overtime

8:33

there was the Richard Sherman interception that stopped them from getting back to the Super Bowl in 2013 um what about the NFC the drop pick

8:42

title tart Jas jaaski tart tart yeah right pie tearing his UCL last year who

8:49

knows maybe they beat the Eagles if he's healthy maybe not but um they have it's not a 31 to9 game or whatever the final

8:56

score was it's not with right right yeah right right and the 49ers I mean there

9:03

was one playoff game back in ' 02 where they were down 3814 and they won because there was a controversial play where the

9:09

Giants got flagged for an ineligible man downfield but he wasn't ineligible and it should have been pass interference

9:15

since that moment 21 years ago 49ers have turned into they've kind of they're

9:20

kind of like the LA Dodgers right and and like they've had these great teams they're in it almost every single year

9:26

and like the Dodgers have one fake title to show for their champion and I hope that's all it ever is uh and the 49ers

9:32

don't have any Super Bowls any Super Bowl wins I mean they have three appearances and this one is this one's

9:38

definitely worse than the the one in Miami a few years ago because that was that was a third and 15 and they say

9:44

Bosa was held but they gave up 21 unanswered there and Jimmy Garoppolo as

9:49

your quarterback I mean this one it felt like they needed to win and I I'll tell

9:54

you another thing because as you were watching this game and I was as I was watching this game that 49ers had so many chances to make

10:01

this a bigger lead and they got an interception of momes right out of the gate in the second half and they had the

10:08

ball in uh Kansas City territory and it reminded me a lot and poor Kyle Shanahan

10:17

in the 28-3 Super Bowl when Shanahan was the Falcons offensive coordinator so it

10:22

was 28 to3 the Patriots scored a touchdown missed the extra point it was 289 they onside kicked it Falcons

10:28

recovered it at the 41 yd line first play they got nine yards they were already in field goal range they went

10:34

backwards did not score then later in the game they were up 2820 they had the Julio Jones catch they were at the 23

10:41

yard line went backwards did not score this was just they stopped running it

10:47

for a while again as all coaches seem to do they yeah I mean Shanahan in my

10:53

opinion Shanahan didn't really do anything to shed that moniker of of you know choker in the big game honestly I I

11:01

thought that I thought it was just very typical of what we've seen from him and

11:06

his teams sorry one second I something's playing music I don't my my Mac just

11:13

randomly started playing music from the just from Apple music for some reason I don't know why uh I I didn't

11:19

hear what you said continue well I said that I think that the fact it you know that the Falcons just like when they

11:25

couldn't score when they were in field goal range and and all they needed was three points and the 49ers took over near Midfield and I thought that

11:32

Shanahan didn't do anything in this game to really shed that label of himself as a playoff choker basically and they got

11:40

away from the run for a little while and they just kept I mean you hold Kansas City to three points in a half and

11:47

you're getting good field position and you get an interception to start the second half and you can't do anything

11:52

like you don't deserve to win and again this Chief's defense was just just too good I mean it was

12:00

incredible just how they dominated for really the whole season yeah um the the

12:06

running I think the running thing was the biggest my biggest problem they ran it 31 times in total versus throwing it

12:12

with 38 times I I don't I really don't understand it I it just makes zero sense

12:20

to me the absolute refusal to run the ball no matter what like and and it's

12:26

not like they were running it I mean you have [ __ ] Christian m how are you not running him 30 times 25

12:34

times that and and Brock py like he didn't lose the game whatsoever for for the 49ers I don't I don't think he did

12:41

at least I mean he did he even have an interception he didn't even throw an interception no he had a touchdown right

12:48

no turnovers for p mcaffry had 22 rushes 38 38 pass attempts I mean why are you

12:55

throwing the ball 38 times in honestly what was a def defensive game most of the way and they were pressuring in the

13:02

second half perie was under a lot more duress in the second half um and they

13:07

did you know once again Andy Reid just the way Bill bich used to adjust it at halftime and the other coach who Kyle

13:14

Shanahan think about it now he's been in three Super Bowls lost to bellich he's lost to Reed and he's lost to Reed again

13:20

in all three games got out foxed and outplayed in the second half in

13:26

particular mhm uh the expected points summary so I'm looking at this the the

13:33

offense defense and special teams they were around the same offense around the

13:39

same on defense so offense chiefs were 3.4 uh 49ers were 4.6 on defense the

13:46

chiefs were 4.6 and and 49ers three point or negative 4.6 49ers negative 3.4 the

13:53

biggest difference was special teams and and you and thatt fumble I mean you

14:00

attribute it to that because the chiefs were 3.39 and the 49ers were negative

14:05

3.39 like that was clearly the biggest impact whatsoever I mean those I

14:11

guarantee or you can literally point to three points the Chiefs got those three points that won the game off that off

14:18

that muff punt um and Joan Jennings I I

14:23

I want to say something about Jaan Jennings Ju Just because they lost what a [ __ ] game from this guy passing

14:29

touchdown rushing touchdown who who was the last I don't even remember the last one to have a passing and a rushing

14:35

touchdown in a Super Bowl I don't uh receiving receiving sorry passing and receiving FES Nick FES Nick fos big dick

14:44

Nick Eagles Legend yeah right Philly special and Jan there was a a point and

14:49

I was looking on FanDuel during the game um Jaan Jennings was the favorite for

14:54

MVP actually because he had more passing touchdowns I think than Brock P did

15:01

because I guess was it all game or was it throughout like in the middle of the game um I know it was late in the game

15:07

I'm sorry pry did have a touchdown pass well but he threw it to Jennings so Jennings had was involved in both touchdowns and it it was it was later in

15:14

the game it was at some point in the fourth quarter I think when the 49ers went ahead you know this really was a a

15:21

Patriots game and then Moody we didn't talk about Moody he hits the 55 Y which

15:26

of course butur then has to break right that's like the also that that thing got like 10t off the ground and it went

15:33

through you had two hands right here it went right through it Moody's extra point it finds a hand you know what I

15:39

mean like yeah that you know there's no there's no you know games aren't fixed

15:44

they're not rigged they're not you know God is not up there pulling strings but some days you just it is it is just

15:52

feels like it's written on the wall somewhere that it just why they would rig it for the Chiefs but why would you

15:58

rig it for a team to go back to back that's less money when it comes to merchandise like how many chiefs fans

16:05

are going to say oh I already have I already have a shirt from the last two like it's fine like I I don't care like

16:11

we won it last year I'm just going to wear the wear my 2022 shirt just finan

16:16

fiscally and it's San Francisco much bigger Market if you have a San Francisco winning the Super Bowl that's

16:22

just a bigger Market you get to put them on the I don't know what probably probably Sunday Night Football next year

16:28

to open the open the season because of the [ __ ] Brazil game don't even get me started on that the yeah I don't want

16:35

the stupid Brazil thing um but I'm I'm going through so both teams ironically

16:42

both teams their first drives of the half were turnovers they ended in turnovers the

16:50

49ers sorry say that again the both teams their first drives of the half so

16:55

the 49ers started the game with a fumble right right right that's right and then the chief started a game with an

17:01

interception yeah started it it felt like the momentum because the ners were

17:06

really moving the ball down the field on that first drive like they were humming and it looked all right like they're

17:12

they're going to do it this time like they might actually do it and just right there it felt like it stopped their

17:17

offensive momentum already well yeah I mean like I said well so we forgot too

17:24

the Chiefs fumbled in the Red Zone which could have you know it's easy to forget that that Pacho fumbled in a three

17:29

nothing game and that's what led to Kelsey um committing elder abuse on Andy Reid which right if they didn't know

17:37

each other that's assault but they do know each other and it's football it's totally okay um but again would would

17:44

Brady have ever done that to bellich or would grank have ever done that to bellich or would you know grank would

17:49

Brady would have I think Brady would have not to bich maybe not to bellich

17:56

but he would have done it to somebody else done it to Bill o'ri yeah he did do it to Bill O'Brien in 2011 he had a

18:03

little one with McDaniels although who wouldn't want to yell at that guy but I just you know I mean it KD wouldn't do

18:10

it to Shanahan um it just it just adds to the the fuel

18:16

that people have against Travis Kelsey I think I don't understand first off the just the complete heel turn on Travis I

18:24

mean what three months ago people were still like revering him they were like this guy's awesome this guy's cool blah

18:30

blah blah and it's I the swifties I can't tell you how much stuff I saw on Tik Tok

18:36

and Instagram and threads and and and Facebook about how now Travis Kelce is

18:43

an abuser he's a domestic abuser they're like I've been in domestic abuse situations I know what it looks like

18:50

like uh really like are we going there now some some people are calling him a

18:55

racist now I mean what what is this where we're going it literally the heel turn like that I mean come the [ __ ] on

19:03

it's football the guys like Andy Reid clearly was like yeah we're good like that that wasn't even an issue he said

19:10

he loves the passion he and he was like yeah it's my artificial hip like he just caught me off guard for a second I I

19:16

know like there was no malice in that whatsoever I genuinely think it is like

19:21

women just don't know how men interact sometimes like that's just guys I mean obviously you're heated that's a heated

19:27

moment but like that's just guys being dudes like you yell at your boy and then

19:32

you usually end up laughing about it in the end um obviously if the Chiefs lose

19:38

this game maybe that moment is not looked as good you know in in history or

19:43

it's looked at differently but I mean if anything it's it did somewhat somewhat

19:49

ignite something because Travis had a really big second half yeah I mean

19:55

Travis Kelce like the thing is he's what 34 35 5 years old too I mean this isn't like a young player having a little bit

20:01

of a you know rookie moment I mean this is this is a veteran guy so I I guess I

20:08

get it I don't think it means that Travis Kel's like an abusive or terrible person but again like I said I just

20:15

don't think you see a lot of other players that would do that yeah uh I I think it just it

20:22

depends on the Rapport and I think as we get further away from Patriots Brady

20:27

because bucks Brady wasn't as like he won the Super Bowl obviously those teams were really good but he didn't seem as

20:34

like emotionally in it to where he was getting as angry because Patriots Brady

20:41

constant he's a crybaby he's a wher he's he's this he's that and now Mahomes is

20:46

getting it for honestly like Mahomes is I would say he's actually pretty good

20:51

like he he had one moment really like one that the moment this year but before

20:57

that can can you really think of a a true Wier Mahomes moment like these guys

21:02

always make faces they always you know they go oh brother like that that call sucks that's whatever but like Brady was

21:09

consistently yelling at the refs Brady was consistently um getting angry with his

21:15

with his players and his coaches especially the younger players so we're forgetting what a Wier really looks like

21:21

and and I I know it's his passion like that's that's what makes these guys Good Michael Jordan was a [ ] [ ] but

21:28

you know what he won he won four four straight or no he won six six three or

21:34

six and seven years um so it makes him great like this is that passion is what

21:40

makes these guys great and sometimes it is just misconstrued as being an [ __ ] but like I think these guys like we're

21:47

not in the locker room we don't know what these guys are actually doing and and it's a lesson I think it's nobody's

21:54

going to learn a lesson from it but it is a lesson and like don't don't make a comment on like somebody's like personal

22:02

or their personality or or something personal about them until you really know who they are because we don't we

22:07

don't know [ __ ] like the one I I saw CJ strad sitting with the Kardashians which that's the one where I'm like I think

22:13

they've put enough of their life on out there I can make a comment on the Kardashians and I was like CJ please do

22:19

not get involved with the Kardashians you have a promising career coming up like please go away like stop but I mean

22:28

got to learn right the guy's got to learn yeah I mean the thing you're you're right about the point you made

22:34

about Kelsey that we we don't know the people but you know I was thinking about that little flap that Mahomes and Kelce

22:40

had with Justin Tucker before the AFC Championship game and my comment after that was because Tucker was just I mean

22:45

Tucker's a good a good guy he's not trying to you know maybe he's trying to get under their skin a little bit but there's it's a little gamesmanship I

22:51

think it is a little gameship and and Tucker you know he obviously is I think the best kicker of all time and he's

22:58

also you know he he wants to win but that whole moment showed me just how seriously the Chiefs take winning and it

23:06

was the same thing with Brady a maniacal Focus um that they have and that is just

23:14

what Novak jokovic great example I mean talk about intense to a degree we just

23:20

can't even comprehend um to have a level of greatness so um that's that's part it

23:28

and then the other thing with the Chiefs just in general here is we could talk about Mahomes and Kel and Reed is kind

23:35

of like your we we'll just compare it to Brady grank and bellich maybe right and

23:40

then but you don't think about and we talk about Chris Jones too but you don't think about some other elements like

23:45

they have maybe the second best kicker of all time right I mean buter drill is a 57 Yer he's been I hate to say it the

23:53

guy you know you know he's what's that

23:58

he won't pass Vinnie bucker will never pass Vinnie in my opinion vinary yeah

24:04

well I'm talking about also for the hall Fame next year as well yeah oh yeah yeah I'm not saying all time I'm saying the

24:10

second well maybe I said ever but I meant to say currently the second best kicker and yes buer also was in the news

24:16

for a lot of the you know he was in that Cole Beasley Camp about the you know Corona stuff but um he you know it's now

24:23

he has the record for longest field goal in the Super Bowl yeah he had to take that away it's like right the Chiefs

24:29

have to have every record um and then you got lerus Sneed and Trent McDuffy

24:35

probably the best onew cornerback punch how about that play McDuffy made deflecting the ball in the end zone which also we can we can make a call

24:41

back here McDuffy was taken with the pick I'm pretty sure with the pick that

24:47

they traded t for they traded Tyreek Hill away Tyreek Hill was one and one

24:53

with super in super bowls with the Kansas City Chiefs um they are 2 and 0

24:59

without him the Kansas City Chiefs are so and and also momes this was the year

25:05

this is the year that Mahomes didn't have any sort of cap movement he didn't have really couldn't do anything because

25:11

of all the money that they have so they're going to lose some guys on defense but we have to remember they're going to be looking for a number one

25:17

wide receiver and honestly what receiver wouldn't want to go there like if I

25:22

think any receiver on the planet would say yeah I would I would have Patrick Mahomes as my quarterback especially

25:28

coming off back-to-back Super Bowls yeah there's that that scary

25:33

thought about you know go back to New England when Brady was winning Super Bowls with kind of unheralded receivers

25:40

and then they got Randy Moss now they didn't win any during the Moss era but obviously they put together the greatest

25:46

regular season of all time and they at the time the most points ever scored I think it was like

25:51

589 and there's always that question of whether are the Chiefs going to go out and get a you know a big play guy you

25:59

know a big ver they gonna get a Stefan Diggs or something and um the thing is

26:04

you know the Chiefs I think are have about $24 million in cap space and the two biggest free agents are from their

26:11

defense Chris Jones and Sneed and my hunch is they'll bring back Chris Jones probably um I don't know about sne if

26:18

they'll have enough room said the Colts would be interested and and then there's some other guys that if even if they

26:23

bring back just one of them there's a lot of other key free agents like Willie G and Drew tranquil um that are going to

26:30

probably get pretty good deals out there in the market and um like I don't think any the I don't even think if Chris

26:36

Jones and sne left that you we would still be like all right well now the Chiefs are done like I mean they their defense may not be as good next year

26:43

they might give up 30 points in a game at some point but they're not going away

26:49

as long as you have those three guys but it just helps to have all those other stars in place and um and it just I I

26:57

almost postulated this you know I was watching I was like are the 49ers do they almost have too much star power on

27:03

their team cuz some of those guys it felt like didn't show up and Samuel got hurt KD didn't have a catch in the first

27:08

half mcaffrey had a good game but he didn't take over you know I mean they we

27:13

talked about the ners they they were favored they're already the favorite next year I mean like but they're not

27:20

those guys don't seem to just show up in the big moments yeah it it's it it was crickets

27:28

I mean from a lot of the guys like Bosa Bosa didn't have a horrible game by far

27:33

like it wasn't horrible but it wasn't fantastic you know I mean it wasn't I

27:39

wouldn't say it was super encouraging um in my eyes like and and I think he's actually been he's been kind that's kind

27:46

of been his issue where he doesn't really show up in those in those really big moments well and it's just that also

27:54

did they use those guys enough like where was Brandon auk and yeah it just I don't know I I just felt

28:00

like they didn't adjust and I I just came across a thing on Twitter and this guy Nick Wright is a total clown but it

28:06

he's a Chiefs fan yeah I know it's you know um I think he'd still be a total clown if he wasn't uh but apparently

28:12

Kyle y who went to Harvard by the way I want to point out Kyle eek went to Harvard and I don't know if that catch

28:19

was really a catch that he made in the was the fourth quarter overtime like he reached the ball out so we were talking

28:24

about the Z flowers thing when he reached the ball out used did that to try to get the first down that almost

28:29

cost them a catch they're lucky they didn't overturn it but the reason I brought up Kyle use cheek is apparently

28:34

he didn't know that the overtime rules in the playoffs were different he thought if you scored a touchdown you

28:39

won the game which is what it was until the Chiefs beat the bills right so they changed it because of Chief and maybe

28:47

that type that that mental laps or whatever maybe that just

28:54

said something about the 49ers preparation I don't know that was what they were speculating here on this yeah

28:59

that's completely unacceptable if for a Harvard guy and a 11year veteran of the

29:05

league that is and a few of them mentioned I think well because I think

29:11

Shanahan said something or they said something about we weren't like super prepared for it but I think it was maybe

29:17

taken out of context something about that but I know the Chiefs guys said we had meetings every week about it we were

29:23

prepared like we were we knew what we were going to do if we won the toss were deferring and then we were going to go

29:29

for two on if if necessary which I don't know if I love that I mean you gota you

29:35

got to see how the game's going if your defense can't get a stop like then yeah you say okay we're GNA go for two we're GNA try and end this game um because

29:41

we're going to lose no matter what well yeah and again like we said earlier I'm fine with them the Niners taking the

29:48

ball first because if they do get a touchdown there yeah and they even could have gone for two there's nothing to say that the team that scores first can't go

29:55

for two I mean it's very dice but then if you get it you know that at the absolute worst you're getting the ball

30:01

again so it's interesting there's a lot of you know strategy but we don't we're not going to get a lot of opportunities to see this because this is just a

30:07

postseason overtime rule this isn't the regular but if you remember when they

30:12

added the the old the new old old new one in 2011 and it was TBO through the

30:19

touchdown pass that was the first time we would have seen it where both teams would get the ball if one team kicked a field goal that then became the regular

30:26

season Norm I don't think you'll see that this new one become the regular season Norm but I it wouldn't Shock Me

30:33

well there's one thing they need to fix and and I really hate this is the second

30:38

Drive will go on no matter what why the I I could understand the only reason

30:43

that we really have a clock then would be for commercial for for the NFL to be

30:49

able to sell more ad space because why even have a clock at that point if if it

30:54

doesn't matter you know time really doesn't matter matter um and I guess

31:00

like you could say for halftime but then just go to go to a modified college rule

31:05

the college rule although it sucks because it takes away the possibility of having a 7573 game like LSU and Texas A&M did a

31:12

few years ago but I think it's at least a little better because you're you're going from the 10 and or what is it the

31:19

10 15 something like that but just do different turns except do full drives

31:25

instead of you know oh we're we're we're going to say this is a quote quarter because I was

31:31

screaming screaming at the TV because all my money was on the cheeks I I every bet I made it was going to the Chiefs

31:37

because I was like the only one I didn't was Debo Samuel to win Super Bowl MVP because I was like they're gonna get him

31:43

involved in the pass and the run and I assume they're going to run a lot and obviously we mentioned about the the um

31:50

Superbowl MVP running back hasn't happened since the 90s yeah so

31:57

yeah but all my all my money was on the Chiefs and I was like call a timeout call a timeout call a timeout I was like

32:02

why aren't you calling a timeout Andy call [ __ ] timeout and it wasn't until the next day when I was like okay this

32:10

is actually the rule and I was like that is so stupid like you're not you're you're saying time doesn't

32:17

matter when it really should like you should try have to try and win it in that overtime period like that's I think

32:22

that's a part of it that makes it more exciting too because having a two-minute Drew you know or or maybe you have like 10

32:29

seconds left and you have to score at the end of the first overtime or you lose no matter what like that's that's a

32:36

little more exciting to me yeah that's a good point I never really thought about that how it just goes to double overtime at the end right it'll literally and and

Halftime Show & Commercials

32:42

obviously like if you don't if if you know it's the third drive and what you're well then you're tied and then it

32:49

doesn't matter anymore there and maybe if it's a fourth drive then I guess that's when time

32:55

starts to matter but how many drives are you going to get get in the in a 15-minute

33:00

overtime well it's not 15 minutes anymore the other thing was so I you know the NFL it's 15

33:06

now it's a full quarter no time in the playoffs uh oh wait I'm looking at the I

33:15

have the game book open so I'm going to double check that uh you're right I didn't realize that I I didn't realize

33:20

it went it both drives took up the entire quarter okay so in the postseason it's 15 right in the regular season it's

33:27

10 but it can end in a tie so that's interesting yeah never and I actually never realized that it was 15 I because

33:34

it you know you figured if I knew it ended with what three seconds left um

33:39

but you're right there should well the thing is uh it's harder to probably pass that through the competition committee

33:45

for the postseason but I they're gonna say it's not fair which like I I I like the the

33:53

fairness of everyone getting the ball like both teams getting the ball you give him a shot and then you say okay

33:59

whatever happens after this is sudden death that's fair enough to me like we it doesn't have to be you get as much

34:05

time as you want just because it's a second drive like if your defense lets them run 10 minutes off the clock on the

34:12

first drive of overtime this isn't the first drive of the game where time feels like infinite this is the first drive of

34:19

overtime like you better get a [ __ ] stop and if you're giving up a 10 10 minute drive in overtime that's insane

34:26

to me no matter or what yeah the 49ers drive went 738 and

34:31

the chief's drive went 719 but um yeah I guess the only way to do it would be to

34:37

to have a have a clock but it doesn't become an issue until both teams have

34:42

had the ball as you were saying yeah and then if you get into a at any point

34:48

after that I guess I think it's all sudden death right it's a f field goal can win it as well right well yeah yeah

34:56

I'd have to think about it my brain's too scrambled trying to come up with the scenarios but I get what you're saying and it's U there's only been a couple of

35:03

uh double double overtime games the playoffs that I've seen this Century um the Ravens beating Denver in 2012 was I

35:11

think the last one and Dome to Steve Smith ex clown in the 2003 divisional

35:16

round um one of my favorite games I've ever watched the Panthers and the Rams but it was uh so it was headed to a

35:22

double overtime and I just want to throw out the name Nicole Hardman here for well for two reasons one apparently his

35:29

wife is close with Taylor Swift now right somehow he and and but uh so he's

35:34

probably part of that whole you know like he's benefiting more from it than anybody else second of all he was a jet

35:41

to start the year and got cut and New England my God New England used to bring back guys all the time they even brought

35:47

back coaches during the season they brought back Josh McDaniels after the Rams fired him following the 2011

35:53

regular season he came in he put and and because they were playing Denver in the division round and um who he had been

35:59

fired by and they put up 45 on TBO and the Broncos and um the Chiefs brought in

36:04

Eric benmy to speak to the team even though he's not a coach there he was let go by Washington they bring back micole

36:12

Hardman you know they will pick up other teams trash turn it into their treasure last year cadarius Tony I know that

36:18

Chiefs fans were hating on Tony because he had a rough year but he had a big hand in them winning the Super Bowl last

36:24

year and here's Hardman who gets cut by the Jets you know I mean the nerve of

36:29

the Jets to cut anybody really and he ends up back on the and it it just you

36:36

know we saw Dion Branch come back to New England after you know later in his career it just it starts to feel like

36:42

well once a patriot always a patriot once a chief always a chief it just it

36:47

because play people just that's where they're going to have the most success so they're GNA come back yeah um I was I

36:55

mean I was H oh I guess I guess if we we're at the quote halfway point we can talk a little bit about the halftime and

37:02

all the extracurriculars um we both got the the guests right that was pretty cool that

37:08

he brought all those guests back both got Alicia Keys and ludicrous um but I

37:14

guess for all the men if you're listening uh Blake Lively hot definitely

37:20

definitely hot um yeah I I saw I saw her with that hair do and what she was

37:25

wearing and I I guess I'll say that I gasped she was she was very attractive

37:30

um and and the Super Bowl commercials I would say they I I think the the Super Bowl commercials like the

37:37

top was really really good with uh the dun Kings commercial with Brady and afflick and all those right all them

37:44

that was awesome I think o if you if you took the average it was pretty meh to me

37:50

like overall not a ton of them stood out to me uh the NFL play or born to play

37:56

one that they hit every single time like whenever they do it whenever the NFL

38:01

does their commercial that hits 100% no matter what every single time it doesn't

38:07

miss and then the Arnold Schwarzenegger Danny DeVito won too that one was really

38:12

really cool they they need to be in more movies together yeah yeah they were in that

38:18

movie called Junior where Arnold Schwarz was pregnant um as well as twins I think

38:23

they did yeah twins yeah they W they weren't twins yeah are they really making a movie are they really going to

38:29

make a movie out of the State Farm agent thing because they're talking about it and I'm like kind of curious I'm like

38:34

they they're like really hyping this thing up like it's something real I hope not I hope not it's been

38:41

harder to watch the Super Bowl commercials I mean I used to love them I think you know there were a few decent

38:47

ones um nothing nothing was that amazing in my opinion and there were some

38:53

serious commercials there were some downers that weren't fun yeah I was like come on guys what are we

38:59

doing here just stop even the halftime show I think you know it was it was nice

39:06

I'm not big into that I you know like I said the Super Bowl is so commercialized and you want to enjoy the game part of

39:12

it but it feels like it gets overshadowed and that's why the AFC and NFC championship games are the best and

39:17

if you can ever go to a game I think it would be much better experience to go to an AFC or NFC Championship game than it

39:23

would be to go to a Super Bowl um which I got kind of torn apart for that take

39:28

on on social I was like and I'm sticking strong to that because like this Super Bowl was

39:35

energy-wise I feel like it was one of the best like especially towards the end of the game I felt like this was very

39:42

good this was a great Super Bowl but like if this game happens in like the AFC Championship game or like the

39:48

conference title it's like oh well this was this was like exciting but not enough offense like that you could

39:54

easily point to that you could be like the the game started out really slow so half of the energy is taken out like

40:00

there's so much more when it comes with with the you know the conference Title

40:06

Games especially because they're at home like they have a home crowd and especially when you have them in like

40:11

Kansas City like the loudest stadium like they're never going to host a Super Bowl in Kansas City as long as they have

40:17

a you know it's not a dome they never will and that would suck that does suck

40:22

because that atmosphere that they bring but I can guarantee you that you're not getting that no matter what the the

40:28

Super Bowl it's just I mean half the people are in like suits like or like a a pullover corduroy or something like

40:35

that like that you know they just don't care they really don't yeah I know the tickets are so

40:41

expensive so a lot of the people who go are going to be celebrities they you know very corporate people so I mean they're expensive to the championship

40:47

games too but no Conference Championship games that is the moment and you have you still have a big Trophy presentation

40:53

after it's the last home game of the year for a team and it's uh a lot of

40:59

these teams have seen each other within the past two years as well so they're

41:04

more familiar right there's a more natural rivalry often times in a championship game than there would be in

41:10

like because you could have division opponents play like the 49ers played the Rams of course the Rams don't have any

41:16

of their own fans but still but there was you know they had a conference Championship game and I remember Raven

41:21

Steelers had had an AFC Championship Game Y Colts Patriots how many times

41:27

Manning Brady not even CT Patriots how many times do they have that I mean and and what what NFC AFC

41:34

rivalry do we really like strongly have like Steelers Cowboys maybe like is that

41:40

but there's no there's no juice behind that that's anything it would be like it would be like if the Giants and Jets

41:47

play it be more for the cities or you know I mean I I some the Giants played the Patriots you had a rivalry the

41:52

second time because they played the first time but for the most part you're right you're right it'd have to be kind

41:57

of two rival cities like if the Eagles played the Jets maybe you kind of have well Eagles Patriots that was a big one

42:03

that was Eagles Shir Boston right right Philly and Boston New York Boston's

42:09

always gonna sell I I mean back in the 94 right it was San Fran and San Diego

42:14

NorCal SoCal kind of okay maybe he could sell that but um but speaking of that

42:19

49ers I mean now they're on three decades without winning yeah they win

42:24

five in 14 years and now it's going to be 30 at least this is they're like the

42:30

Patriots it it is it is insane to me the the cycle that we're seeing like you got

42:37

like in the 80s and 90s you had those 49er teams that won five titles and now

42:43

like they just went to pretty much nothing after Steve Young like obviously they've been to Super Bowls but they

42:50

still haven't got there and now we're seeing what the Patriots are are going to be for the next what every year so

42:56

they just get these obviously the Niners were blessed with two quarterbacks but they get these like generational like

43:02

monster Monument type of guys to come in and then they just leave poof they're

43:08

gone yeah I mean the Packers have been lucky they basically had three starting quarterback since the early 90s with you

43:14

know Favre Rogers and Jordan love but even the Packers in that time have only won two Super Bowls you know an over

Brady & Mahomes

43:20

three in in Far only won I thought Favre won cuz I know they beat the Pats he didn't win another one he won one he

43:26

went to two he went to back to back lost to Denver Rogers only ever went to one which is stunning yeah and obviously

43:33

Jordan love this was his first year starting so you know you you can be even still be blessed with great quarterbacks

43:39

and it doesn't guarantee you but in the case of Mahomes and Brady you're blessed with the best ever so yep and and one of

43:48

the best coaches one of the best tight end so it it's um the question I have is

43:53

just you know the the AFC May may be loaded with really good quarterbacks but

43:59

it just feels like you know the the the problem with the during the Patriots dynasty was no AFC team that didn't have

44:06

Payton Manning or rothberger could stand up to them and really rothberger couldn't because the Patriots beat him

44:12

three times all three times they played in the playoffs it was really like pton Manning was the Dependable one that could yeah beat them but

44:20

um you know I don't know if Lamar Jackson can beat Mahomes and the Chiefs I don't know if Josh Allen can I mean

44:26

they're and for it's or or the Colts are

44:32

two and0 against Patrick Mahomes in the regular season two and one the regular season overall the culture are Mahomes

44:38

beaters they're they're World beaters right now they are but Mahomes got them they're they are on their way up and

44:44

honestly I on Monday I was having the you know I was not feeling good on um Sunday night and you know going into

44:51

Monday and um I was like you know uh I think I should watch the 2013 AFC wild

44:58

card game just to just and I sent it to my buddy who's a Chiefs fan I was like I

45:03

just want you to remember your roots I want you to like humble you the morning of winning the Super Bowl because I was

45:10

like man what could have been that that was like my like what could can you imagine Andrew Luck and Patrick Mahomes

45:16

going to battle in in the AFC yeah Andrew Luck's last career game was the M

45:23

playoff game right and it was in the snow maybe maybe that's the passing of the torch that we're looking for maybe

45:31

it is um and and uh but I wanted to bookmark something too oh I was going to

45:37

say it actually uh it because we were talking about the Muff pun earlier I don't know if you remember in the 2018 AFC Championship game see this would

45:42

never happen in a playoff game to the Chiefs or the Pats Edelman looked like he touched the ball and it went right

45:49

over his yep but it was Edelman so of course he didn't mess that up yeah of now he

45:55

did drop a pass got that he literally got that millimeter that he needed like he was like just below it he did and a

46:02

few plays later he actually had a ball bounce off his hands that was intercepted but he didn't muff the punt

46:07

at least so he dropped the pass that turned into interception fine that's gonna happen but um I just it just

46:14

jogged my memory when we were talking about the play earlier but yeah and and I had heard something that I I don't

46:20

know where I heard I think it was during the broadcast but that Tom Brady actually literally said to Patrick

46:26

Mahomes like I'm giving you the keys now you know and and I it's like you're the

46:32

Dynasty and it it I believed before the year that this was going to be the year we had a repeat champion because Brady

46:38

was out of the league I told you Brady was the reason we didn't have teams repeat he did it and he wanted to

46:44

preserve that all the way through his career and this first year he's out of the league it it's only fitting that the

46:49

new Patriots would be the first team to repeat since 2003 2004 well and and this

46:56

is the definition of a dynasty as well like now we are in it three and five years is well actually three and four

47:03

years really that is the definition of a dynasty and if you look at I think three

47:09

and five yeah five are you sure oh yeah never mind 20 and 21 they didn't win

47:14

yeah yeah um but when you look at like mahomes's numbers right now and and I

47:20

know like Brady played in a different era obviously for the first third of his career um he's on Pace for like like

47:28

it's crazy he's on Pace for like 100,000 yards or something like that if he played for 20 years like he's like

47:33

borderline 100,000 passing yards he's already I don't again I don't know what

47:39

the specific numbers are I wonder if I can look that up well apparently the uh the thing I

47:45

was thinking of Brady told Mahomes that after uh I think it was after the 2019

47:52

or 2018 AFC Championship game in early 2019 so he may have said it a few years earlier knowing it was going to happen

48:00

and and it did yeah here we go um momes

48:06

so I'll read off these uh obviously he's played in 14 playoff games um Brady's

48:12

played in 48 which is holy [ __ ] before before Mahomes the next

48:17

closest guy was Montana at 16 like which no not 16 16 is it 16 uh what

48:26

playoff wins playoff game playoff games for 16 small oh I guess well they didn't

48:32

play as many playoff games I guess no I'm talking about

48:37

Montana well Montana won 15 in his career Montana was 16 and S played 23

48:44

games 23 games Okay um but still the next closest guy is 23 and you have 48

48:52

playoff games that is crazy to me um

48:57

yards where is yards passing yards yeah Mahomes is at 27,000 passing yards right now and he's

49:05

at 92 games um and Brady finished his career at

49:11

89,4 like he's he is on his way to possibly being the first 100K passer

49:19

ever and and to see like also the crazy thing about and and I don't want this to sound like glazing I mean I think that's

49:26

crazy if if somebody says you're glazing just for talking about the Super Bowl champion quarterback um he's already has

49:32

ownership in Kansas City like he's he owns a part of the Royals um I think he

49:38

owns a part of his wife's Sports League his his wife's uh professional soccer league um which again let let's for all

49:46

the guys listening Britney Mahomes yes absolutely great great

49:52

swimsuit great great uh Sports illust frustrated thing that was that was just

49:58

fantastic um but he's like at 28 the amount of stuff that he's accomplished

50:04

is insane I would love to see because there was an interview with Brady I think it was like in the Randy Moss era

50:10

and they were talking to him they were like you've won three Super Bowls blah blah blah and he was like yeah but like is this it like is this is this all that

50:17

there is I would love to hear mahomes's thoughts right now like a one-on-one interview with him and just see like

50:24

what his thought process is at this very moment is he like thinking is that all there is is he like there's

50:30

so much more like I'm I'm so excited or is he kind of like yeah like we won three I'm I'm pretty good you know I'm

50:37

feeling fine yeah I don't know you talking about that that um 60 Minutes interview Brady

50:43

gave back in like' 05 or something I think so where yeah he yeah well and and

50:48

I think Brady probably agree that you know it was that 10-year gap between his

50:55

third and and fourth one that really probably got him feeling alive again

51:00

like and and really you know when he when he and then he the seal was broken again beat Seattle and then he wins four

51:06

out of the next seven between the Pats and the bucks so yeah it's just weird you know if you think about it his Super

51:12

Bowls all came within what like an 11year span but then there was a 10e gap

51:18

or nine-year Gap in between or nine years where he didn't win I don't know if that's going to happen to momes again

51:24

I I don't like I guess the question that's that's that's my question too what I guess what would be the odds of

51:30

that I don't know I Wish I Wish sports books did like future Futures you know

51:36

they do Futures but they don't do you know like multi-year future like will

51:41

this guy win a you know in the next three years I guess that's just too much liability or out but the odds I don't

51:47

know I mean um but if you're the my question too is if because the AFC has cowed to

51:54

these two guys for over over 20 years what do you do if you're these other teams how do you if you can't get the

52:00

next Patrick Mahomes and let's be honest Lamar Jackson is not Mahomes Josh Allen is not Mahomes even Joe burrow who can

52:07

beat him and is really really good is probably not Mahomes so knowing that is

52:14

that can these teams build a good enough team and a good enough brand to to beat the Chiefs or is it just is

52:21

it mental I mean I don't know you know how these other teams are going to catch up to the Chiefs without yeah another

52:30

momes basically because that's football you know you you can't really win I mean

52:35

there's no like there's no 2,000 Ravens that that are going to come in and beat

52:40

Mahomes with a Trent dfur I mean you that's just not how the game is today that just this average

52:47

quarterbacks generally don't win Super Bowls because there's too many good ones out there um and the fact and I I

52:55

started doing some comparisons by the way to the last time we had a repeat winner when Brady had won three and four

53:01

years and it felt like no one else can win at that time I think after the 04 season there were five active Super Bowl

53:08

winning quarterbacks and right now there are five active Super Bowl winning quarterbacks and I think there were five

53:13

other quarterbacks at that time like after that season who didn't retire who had started a Super Bowl and I think

53:19

there are five other Super Bowl quarterbacks now who are active who have started so it's where in this this you

53:26

know time where like these other quarterbacks need to need to get one because their careers are going on and

53:33

how long how many chances you know because the bills may not you know they may have to make some moves they may

53:39

take a step back the Ravens I I recommend it I still recommend do a very

53:46

soft very soft rebuild with that Bills team yeah and and I guess so you know

53:52

it's not like just because Allen's going to play for a while Jackson going to play for a while that they're going to have the same opportunity every year to

53:59

beat them and so what do you do how do you how how do the Ravens take that next

54:04

step right we know the Bengals can beat them and if they get healthy and they get burrow back right there's always

54:10

they're they're the team maybe but I don't I don't know like Cleveland's got a great defense but is Deshawn Watson or

54:17

Flaco or whoever going to be enough like flat Flo's got like two to go which how

54:23

how he won how he won what's it called the The Comeback Player of the Year to

54:28

me is crazy like I out of there was three guys that were leading for it it

54:33

was dear flacko and Baker how how do you give it to flacko out of that three like

54:40

you could make an argument for Demar because the uh criteria on the AP

54:46

comeback Player of the Year award is very fuzzy you don't it's just you come back from

54:51

extraordinary uh what's the word adversity to and I looked up the

54:58

Wikipedia definition this changed the Wikipedia definition for uh

55:04

comeback Player of the Year changed within I don't know like a couple weeks because I looked it up at the end of the

55:10

regular season and it said extraordinary adversity coming back you know from extraordinary adversity to extraordinary

55:18

extraordinary play so to me that tells me Baker Mayfield or Joe flacko because

55:23

you can say what you want about tomor but his play was not extraordinary this year like it just it just wasn't like

55:31

that is like statistical fact he played like six or however many snaps like he

55:36

was a third Stringer I think basically that's not extraordinary play it changed when I looked it up on Wednesday before

55:44

NFL honors it said extraordinary adversity to play a snap in the NFL so

55:50

then I was like if that changed then they're giving it to Demar no matter what like hey they definitely changed it

55:56

to prove to people like it's not it's not about your play it's just about that you came back

56:02

but then to give it to Joe flacko of all people I mean come on right Baker Baker

56:08

went Baker went to the playoffs for a full season Joe came in what eight games seven games like I get he came off the

56:15

couch but Baker was he came off the couch that's the yeah yeah yeah I mean Hamlin came back from nearly dying so

56:22

that as far as the adversity nobody can that's number one like I don't nobody

56:28

can tell me any differently that is number one yeah yeah um but uh that's

56:37

that's the question that these teams are going to have to ask themselves and and in the NFC I don't think the Gap is nearly as big in the NFC I mean the

56:43

49ers won it this year but the Lions had them on the ropes it's hard not to to sit back and think that the Lions could

56:49

have maybe won this game maybe Dan Campbell be damned yeah he would have

56:54

you know you know he may have done some maybe he goes for it on Fourth lateer and earlier in the game and he gets the

57:00

touchdown like or right or maybe and and by the way I was shocked when the 49ers went forward on Fourth and got the first

57:06

down I couldn't believe they passed up the tying field goal and I thought at that moment that that was Kyle Shanahan

57:11

shedding that label of like being too conservative I said that's but then Moody misses the extra point and it it's

57:19

weird because it worked out for a little bit when he missed the extra point because then the Chiefs would have had to go for it on Fourth goal and they

57:25

might have scored a touchdown but they might not have and then it actually happened same thing would have happened again they would got down there at the

57:31

end when you know they kicked the field goal to tie it send it to overtime but they would have had to go for the win

57:37

but again like I think the Lions they beat the Chiefs week one I know that Kel

57:43

was out and Jones was out I get that but the Lions would have had confidence they would have been playing for a city I

57:48

mean really that that really cares yeah and people would have been really in

57:55

love with the Lions and rooted for them I think I think it was harder to root for the ners because they've been here

58:01

before they've been like I said the LA Dodgers of football it's it's

58:06

just it it didn't have a lot of feel-good elements to it the Super Bowl

58:12

no matter what the other thing and this is this is very small the other thing is that we wouldn't have a red versus red I

58:19

cannot stand when the Super Bowl color-wise when it's red versus red like you need some sort of variation when it

58:26

comes to color like because then all the graphics they make everything's red everything like it would have been so

58:32

nice to have red versus blue like that that would have just been so much better yeah yeah no you're right I mean

58:39

branding and marketing and color that's a big part of sports and I mean Eagles jets would be tough right you'd have

58:44

twoo green or Ravens Vikings be too much purple I get it um but especially

58:50

because we already had this Super Bowl matchup four years ago right and it was It was kind of cool then and by the way

58:56

fun fact Chiefs all three Super Bowls that they've won they've been an underdog I don't know how the ner how in

59:03

the world the ners I get it though I mean because the ners were close to winning the game but three times the

59:09

Chiefs have been an underdog then they've won the Super Bowl the one time they were favored they lost to Tampa

59:15

so and actually I'm gonna go back you said something very early you said about

59:21

how the Chiefs are have only won Super Bowls in close games what what other what other Dynasty that

59:29

we can remember New England W won in close games yeah six Super Bowl wins all by 10 or less I mean actually all all of

59:37

the Brady Super Bowls in New England were decided by 10 or less and and nine of them were decided by eight or less I

59:44

mean even the Rams won they kick the late field goal to go up 10 it's funny because the Patriots they had some

59:51

blowout blowout playoff wins along the way I just I would I don't know it just

59:56

it just makes it so much more painful to see those teams win when it's like this you'd rather see like the Seattle Denver

1:00:02

Super Bowl where there is just no doubt left as far as who the best team was and

1:00:09

I but I think those them winning those close games you can attribute that to

1:00:15

their regular season struggles because those Patriots teams it was at at least at the second half there was always a

1:00:21

struggle early in the year the Brady it was always a struggle right like there was always the oh this year they're done

1:00:28

like there there's no shot right and and even with Tampa they I think they were

1:00:34

seven and five seven and five finished 15 and five yeah they yeah I mean like they they were not good for most of the

1:00:41

year I remember they lost that game to Chicago on on Thursday night and Brady's going like this yeah you know to the

1:00:47

screen he's like what it's third down right like [ __ ] Tom Brady forgot what down it is like have you ever seen that

1:00:54

in in like with like good players you you see that with like the guys that aren't so good and then they make a

1:01:00

boneheaded mistake and then you blame it on and you think about that guy's name for the next 30 years because your team

1:01:06

didn't win a regular season game but I think it really there really is something to not blowing teams out like

1:01:15

you always see there it always happens where a team will have a miraculous

1:01:20

regular season they you know they blow everyone out and then they just come out flat that very next week and it's

1:01:26

because they're not battle tested like you're really not battle tested you need to I I almost I almost can look at teams

1:01:34

and if they play well against the good teams but they keep it close with those bad teams that is more battle tested

1:01:41

like you want to beat the ones that you want to beat the ones that you're going to want to beat later but sometimes you

1:01:49

are a little more focused on the other teams but you're not taking it completely away from your attention but

1:01:54

you know those lesser teams are going to give you fits like the [ __ ] Colts beat the Chiefs last year in the regular

1:02:00

season like that that's a big thing that that should be talked about more I think um that's why I wasn't sold that the

1:02:07

Ravens were going to win this year because they were just they they just

1:02:12

didn't play a lot of close games I mean I think they had yeah only three of their 13 wins were by one score and even

1:02:19

one score wins are not all created equal you can win a game by eight points because you let a team back back into it

1:02:24

at the end or maybe maybe it was four wins I think they beat Arizona because they let them back into it but point

1:02:30

being the onside kick yeah yeah yeah it was Arizona Tennessee they beat by eight and London the Rams on the punt return

1:02:37

in overtime and um the Bengals by three early in the year when they were up 10

1:02:43

but point being is you're right I mean the Chiefs played the Chiefs didn't really blow too many teams out this year I mean I think they blew out the Bears

1:02:50

was the one that came to mind that was the Taylor Swift game that was the first one the Taylor Swift game game and they

1:02:55

and they you know kind of like they they storm back with a big second half to beat the Raiders but they shut Denver

1:03:02

down I mean but like you're right it was different this was a a scrappier Chiefs team in a way and um because we're used

1:03:10

to seeing them blow teams out and put up these big offensive numbers the last couple years that hasn't really been as common place they've played a lot closer

1:03:17

because last year you were saying they were playing with their food a lot they Houston took them to overtime last year and the Broncos almost beat him an

1:03:24

arrowhead and it's like maybe there's just something to that and teams feel comfortable with their backs against the

1:03:30

wall so um there's just yeah you always

1:03:35

just the media falls in love with the sexy teams and the teams that have the big Point differentials and you know

1:03:41

49ers yeah the 49ers kind of that team I mean they they looked like they' flipped the narrative in the playoffs a little

1:03:47

bit winning those three-point that almost felt more like they just underachieved to play those close games

1:03:53

than it was like battle test I don't know um but and and we'll end on this because

1:04:01

you were talking about quarterbacks as well I'm jumping I'm like now I'm starting to like process things that

1:04:06

you're saying more and I'm getting more things when was the NFC ever the

1:04:12

quarterback heavy League like the the quarterback heavy side because in the 2000s it definitely wasn't I mean you

1:04:20

had Montana in the 90s and 80s but like besides that like it it always feels

1:04:26

like those quarterbacks are much more on the AFC side yeah I mean I wouldn't say I the AFC of course having the big three

1:04:34

for all those years Manning Brady rothberger they're they're the more talented conference quarterback and like

1:04:40

quarterback development it feels like they are they are and the NFC still won had a stretch where it won more Super

1:04:46

Bowls because maybe the teams were better they weren't as dependent on those quarterbacks you know obviously

1:04:51

the Giants one too with Eli and you look at some of the the NFC quarterbacks that got to the Super Bowl in the 2000s and

1:04:58

it was now I love Jake delom so I'm not going to talk bad about him and McNab was pretty good but you know Matt

1:05:04

Hasselbeck Rex grman um you know and it but then you had a few years when we had you know

1:05:10

Breeze and Rogers and again Eli but then you know Colin Kaepernick Russell Wilson

1:05:17

Cam Newton had a great year Matt Ryan I mean good quarterbacks but then you folos Goff

1:05:23

garoo yeah um so you're right they've had good I think what it is is and this

1:05:29

is the reason there's been more parody in the NFC is they've had it's spread out more evenly and there's been a lot

1:05:35

of very good quarterbacks in the NFC but there's been great a few great quarterbacks in the AFC and that's why

1:05:42

it's played out that way with these you know Super Bowl appearances because you even you think about even in the 80s you

1:05:49

you had Marino Elway um hell I mean you maybe you could even throw O'Brien in

1:05:54

there like you know just and he obviously was probably more of a mid-tier quarterback but like Jim Kelly that that's another one I

1:06:02

mean this goes back years and I I probably couldn't go too much into the 70s but I mean Terry Bradshaw Johnny

1:06:10

Unitus um I it's it's gonna be really hard for me to do that I don't know too much past

1:06:16

the80s so it's yeah it's just interesting to look at the the patterns

1:06:22

that continue over um the entire span you know expanse of

1:06:27

the league um but luckily we don't have to wait too long because we don't have any more

1:06:33

football until August we don't have to wait too long for another sport because pitchers and catchers report tomorrow or

1:06:39

yesterday if you're listening to this uh they reported on really Tuesday and Wednesday I think the Dodgers and the

1:06:45

Padres reported today because they're going to be playing in Japan to open the year um I think next week next Thursday

1:06:53

we're gonna talk coaches coaches and free agents I guess that would probably be a good one I'm

1:06:58

just trying to get a little bit of a plan um and then maybe we can do a little draft as well maybe the week

1:07:04

after that um and then we can probably start getting into baseball because I

1:07:10

think that's when s some of the later free agents are going to come in and sign yep I was on a flight back to H

1:07:17

Sarasota yesterday Mike Elias was on my flight Orioles GM so I know spring training is right around the corner I

1:07:24

already have my tickets for February 24th Red Sox are coming to b or Sarasota so I'm I'm ready to go I have been

1:07:30

slacking a little bit with the Red Sox like the past couple Seasons but I'm like I mean this is not a great year to

1:07:37

get back although Theo is back that that was that was the big announcement I even mentioned it with Leighton who doesn't

1:07:42

know anything about baseball but I was like Theo F scene's back you have to mention it uh but I am mildly excited

1:07:50

for baseball season because you never know that's it is the one sport like everyone everyone knew it was going to

1:07:56

be 49ers Chiefs Eagles or possibly the Ravens this year and that's that's

1:08:03

pretty much what we had but baseball hell 2013 can happen again right well in

1:08:09

2023 Rangers diamond back so was you know I'm hoping that someone can this this year though the Orioles I mean at

1:08:16

least you can be excited about the I I hope so and I hope we get to La we we get to laugh at some uh Dodgers what is

1:08:24

it shot and Freud whatever they call it you know and that they can fall flat on their face that would be a fun thing to

1:08:30

root for so absolutely and then also if anyone's interested there's a women's

1:08:35

professional volleyball league that started and I did a video on it on Instagram I love watching volleyball

1:08:41

like it's like it's more of a fringe sport but like especially if you ever been to a game and I recommend anyone go

1:08:46

find a college game or something um it would probably be weird if somebody just randomly showed up to a high school

1:08:53

volleyball game if you're an adult but uh no it's a fun sport um and

1:09:00

and I recommend it it's pretty cool there's a team in Orlando so um and women sports like I think this is gonna

1:09:06

be a lot better than the WNBA like this is one I want to because the WNBA what are we doing it's it's just

1:09:13

not it's not up there with the NBA in my opinion they got to lower the rim like

1:09:19

that's that would be awesome because then you can really get them dunking because you need dunks in in any basketball um you do yeah anyways um

1:09:28

make sure to like comment subscribe whatever um we're going to do free agents and coaches next week on Thursday

1:09:35

but before that we'll see you on Monday with someone else I don't know who um

1:09:40

but yeah thanks for watching and we'll see you next or on Thursday Monday it's a weird

1:09:47
