Q & A

What were the scores of the AFC and NFC championship games?

The Chiefs beat the Ravens 17-14 in the AFC Championship game. The 49ers beat the Lions 34-31 in the NFC Championship game.

What was the big storyline from the AFC Championship game?

The Chiefs defense, led by coordinator Steve Spagnolo, dominated the Ravens offense and MVP Lamar Jackson. They held the Ravens to just 10 points after the first quarter.

Why did the Lions lose in the NFC Championship game?

A combination of fluky plays going against them, like a deflected pass turning into a 49ers TD, and some questionable playcalling decisions by head coach Dan Campbell late in the 4th quarter.

How does Patrick Mahomes compare to Tom Brady's first 6 seasons as a starter?

Mahomes has a better record (72-22 vs 70-24), more playoff wins (14-3 vs 12-2), more AFC titles (4 vs 3), and a better TD-INT ratio (258-69 vs 167-87) than Brady did in his first 6 seasons.

What was an impressive part of Mahomes' leadership this season?

He never publicly complained about his inexperienced wide receivers even when they struggled, which helped keep their confidence up going into the playoffs.

Why didn't Lamar Jackson play well?

The Chiefs defense confused him all day, he was consistently late leaving the pocket, and he missed a lot of open receivers. He also threw a terrible interception in the 4th quarter.

Will the 49ers win the Super Bowl this time after losing 2 years ago?

It's hard to say. This 49ers team has more offensive weapons like Christian McCaffrey. But their defense still looks vulnerable at times. It could go either way against the Chiefs.

What's going on with veteran coaches Bill Belichick and Pete Carroll?

Both are currently unemployed after leaving/being fired from their long-time teams in New England and Seattle. Their age and desire for control seem to be hindering them from finding new jobs.

Who does the show predict will be the next coach of the Washington Commanders?

It sounds like they expect Ben Johnson, the Lions offensive coordinator, to get the job.

Who was named the "who's back of the week?"

Hank chose college basketball returning after football season. Big Cat went with LeBron James after a big Lakers win. And PFT said Bill Belichick, who is still influencing things behind the scenes.

in Las Vegas in the desert we're running

it back we're running it back last time

this happened this was our last four

weeks of fun yes so rip to the NCAA

tournament in 2024 and oh my God don't

say that there will be no spring League

football strain new strain of co uh I

have just just high level before we get

into the games I've seen uh some people

complain that like well this matchup

stinks because we've seen it whether it

be Taylor Swift the Chiefs

fatigue I don't care there's nothing

that would ever stop me from enjoying

the the Super Bowl to its maximum you

know like it's the last game of football

the year I can't believe there's

actually people like I'm not going to

watch shut up you're going to watch

you're going to watch you're going to

like it I almost stopped watching today

because they canceled the B2 flyover in

Baltimore because of weather and then

they cut away from the flyover on the

west coast game which is the least

American thing you could do most

unpatriotic I think they well they tried

they didn't try hard enough but uh it's

you're going to watch Super Bowl because

it's two great teams it's Patrick

Mahomes continuing his his quest to uh

tople Tom Brady which might take a while

uh I've actually got some stats here I'd

like to see what Hank has to say about

these oh we're gonna get right into it I

think that we should I mean Patrick

Mahomes was great we can talk about we

can talk about the other stuff yeah yeah

Chiefs 17 Ravens 10 the AFC Championship

game um yeah let's hop right into it all

right so here's some stats for the first

six years of of the two of them starting

in the NFL Mahomes 72 and 22 Tom Brady

70 and 24 playoff record Mahomes 14-3

Tom Brady 12-2 four AFC titles for

Mahomes three for Brady two rings for

Mahomes playing for a third Brady had

three rings and touchdown to

interception 258 to 69 for Mahomes 167

to 87 for Tom

Brady yeah I mean it's tough to deny uh

if he wins the Super Bowl he's he's on

Pace yeah I'd say I'd say ahead of pace

yeah that's fair he's inevitable and

this game was uh it was crazy because

the beginning of the game it was like

well this is going to be just Patrick

Mahomes surgically dicing up the Ravens

defense that first drive was perfect

that second Drive was Peak momes because

they had four third down conversions

that were all momes especially he had a

scramble and then that that flip play to

Travis Kelsey which was like how the

hell did this just happen that vintage

that backyard stuff it was it was crazy

so so so the game starts and you're like

well this is just going to be Mahomes

day then the Ravens defense showed up

and they played great ball for basically

this like you know after they scored

after the Chiefs went up 14-7 uh early

in the second quarter for the rest of

the game the entire second half the

Chiefs had uh 98 yards but it didn't

matter because it was way more about the

chief's defense

and what Steve Spagnola did to Lamar

Jackson and I I do want to say real

quick Steve Spagnola I he he is probably

one of if not the best defensive

coordinators of all time when you think

about what he's done he's got three

Super Bowls he stopped the uh 17-0 or

18-0 Patriots uh one of the best

offenses of all time held them to how

many points uh how many do they have 17

17 they had the Ravens were one of the

best uh teams this year in terms of

offense like completely befuddled the

MVP of the league they had before uh

after the game I don't know if you guys

saw but the the shirts the in spags We

Trust shirts which are awesome and you

can tell like every single guy on that

defense just trusts everything that

Steve smola is doing and he said before

the game be relentless be a pack of

wolves just get after it and that's what

they did like it was C Bola just ate

Todd monin and John Harbaugh's lunch for

four quarters that's what we watched and

again it was Patrick mahom early and

then it was the chief's defense for the

basically for the majority of the game

just

completely like making the Ravens look

stupid and getting them out of what they

do well and he deserves all the credit

in the world because he that was a

masterful game plan they had so so I

should say that the score of that Super

Bowl is actually 17 to 14 so they won

with 17 points they won with 17 just

like the Chiefs did this is from uh

Ranny jazzier by dvoa we already knew

that 2023 r were incredible right the

2007 Patriots were one of the other

greatest teams ever by that stat yep and

spags both won big games against those

teams by scoring 17 points he he was the

MVP of this game and that's not taking

anything away from the chief's offense

and again like that momes that second

Drive the first drive was scripted plays

that that worked perfectly and we

thought oh this is going to be a long

long day for the Ravens defense and like

I said the Ravens defense showed up they

even forced a field goal off of a or

Lamar fumbled that was when I thought

the game was like fully fully over uh

but they they did a good job of stopping

the Chiefs for the majority of the game

it was just the chief's defense was just

incredible yeah so shout out to spagnolo

did you know that he does an award a

weekly award for his defense it's called

the cram award whichever team like crams

the hardest I love that like for hardest

hitting big plays they get the cram

award and the winner of the CR award uh

gets a home-cooked meal from Steve

spagnolo's wife makes you whatever you

want so you have to cram before the game

you cram before the game and then you

cram after the game okay cuz lerus needs

to get the cram award for for the for

punching out zlow no you crammed during

the game you crammed during the game so

he crammed the ball right out of Z

flowers it was a cramp P the play of the

game yeah when you fumble at the one

yard line that's it's so deflating

because you've done all that work you've

gone that entire distance and then just

to have it happen that's why Bill told

you don't reach out at the one yeah

don't reach out at the one so it was

yeah it was a Chief's like this is and

Hank I think you've actually kind of

admitted it now that Mahomes and the

Chiefs are the new Patriots and just how

they do it like this wasn't an explosion

of offense by the Chiefs it wasn't like

they were just I mean they were better

than the Ravens the right team won but

it was like they have shape shifted year

toe and especially even in this year

where it looked like they were like had

no chance of going to the Super Bowl to

a team that is the toughest team in the

league yeah and on the road too they

beat they beat Buffalo at Buffalo they

beat the Ravens at Baltimore that

obviously adds to the narrative that

before was like he can only win at home

this playoffs he's done it on the road

they've won 66% of the road playoff

games that have been won uh this

playoffs the Packers are the only other

team that won a road playoff game that's

crazy won two the Packers won one it's

pretty crazy and and the defense was the

story but we're still going to just talk

about Mahomes because yeah it's [ __ ]

Patrick mahom I mean that that drive he

was really good also I mean there should

be some blame on on Todd monin in that

offense well Lamar we got to get to lar

wasad the defense for uh the Chiefs over

the course of the season I think they

were tied for 27th in terms of yards per

carry allowed and then do you know how

many times the Ravens ran the ball today

yeah eight they ran the ball to the

running backs eight times Lamar had a

couple others but they ran the ball with

the running backs eight times today they

just it was crazy to watch they it felt

like they had a game plan and then the

first three and out happened and they're

like well we'll just abandon all of this

and Lamar was not good that that is a

fact like Lamar did not play well he was

missing receivers early that

interception to likely was one of the

worst situational awareness balls I've

ever seen thrown because you not only

have Isaiah likeley triple teamed but

you're in a situation where you're down

10 in the fourth quarter it's like you

need to no matter what get a field goal

here so that you make it a one- score

game with Justin Tucker that's a pretty

certain thing that when you're in that

like what were they at the 30 or 20 and

having that happen was just like how do

you have that happen what how do you

throw that ball their offense was just Z

flowers is down there somewhere for the

most most of the game um they they threw

it to likely a couple times and with Zay

uh when I say they ran the ball eight

times two of those were like little

swing passes yeah with Z flowers or

Gadget plays with Z flowers so they

really only ran the ball with the

running back six times right over the

course of the entire game and it was

yeah Todd monin deserves a ton of blame

but I Lamar did was not he was not like

precise he he had guys he missed guys

routinely all day couple deep passes he

overthrew which and and he was taken

forever in the pocket too like Lamar

should run with the ball like a a full

half second or full second before when

he was taking off today because you wait

that extra time then he gets caught from

behind for like a one yard gain yeah it

completely neutralized Lamar's ability

although he did have an awesome play

where he threw and caught the ball at

the same time maybe bill poan was right

about that maybe maybe he's a wide

receiver yes uh but yeah it was an

alltime play and he got caught from

behind just barely I think he probably

would have scored a touchdown if he just

stepped out of that one tackle but that

was awesome play yeah it the game if

you're a Ravens fan that game had to

have been like torture because it it was

constantly the Ravens like after it

settled down and it was

147 and it it was like okay the Ravens

defense is starting to make some stops

they got they sacked Patrick Mahomes for

the first time in these playoffs which

is crazy that he had gone two full games

without being sacked uh they started to

make some stops and then you have have

the Z flowers big play taunting penalty

which I we both agree taunting should

not be a penalty in the NFL they're Pros

if you want to do it in college that's

fine because you want to just pretend

like oh yeah they're amateur Athletics

whatever the the guys are putting their

life on the line they're playing a

passionate game this is the biggest game

of their lives you should be able to

taunt you should be allowed to taunt uh

there are a couple I think at at the

point that it turns into a delay of game

probably flag it for delay of game if

it's that excessive if it's just a taunt

you can do whatever you want but if you

step over the guy if you step over him

he's allowed to hit you in your nuts

yeah besides that it's all fair I just

it's like a passionate game these guys

are playing a million miles an hour

they're they're you know bodily harm and

all these things and and and you're

you're going to get upset you're going

to throw a flag because he stood over

him [ __ ] that let him taunt it's the AFC

Championship game yeah Joe burrow agreed

he tweeted let the boys taunt yeah let

them taunt let the boys taunt taunting

is fun and if you want to stop them from

taunting then stop them from Catching

the ball 50 yards on someone pointed out

that if you let him taunt you got to let

him fight I kind of okay with that too

just a little scrap yeah hockey does it

yeah but they did have like the Ravens

just kept on it was self-inflicted wound

after self-inflicted wound whereas like

even in the the end of the first half

when Cal Vin noi gets that uh penalty

Travis Kelce was doing a masterful job

of just goating them the entire day and

then you have the Z flowers taunt and

the Z flowers fumble and it's like they

keep getting close and they can't cut

the deficit and then the likely

interception it just was torture it was

torture for the Ravens because they they

had these moments where you thought that

they were going to be back in the game

and they just kept on falling short in

these big moments and it's all credit to

the chief's defense and their game plan

yeah Mike florist's head is spinning

he's so happy right now yeah Mike Flores

was right we owe an apology um I have a

question for you big cat yeah uh it

seems like Jason Kelce brother of Travis

Kelce the brothers don't know if you

knew that it seems like he's the biggest

Chiefs fan in the world right now he's

wearing Chiefs Gear Head To Toe loves

the Chiefs rooting for Travis um would

it irritate you if you were an Eagles

fan seeing Jason Kelce root so hard for

the Chiefs I don't think so you don't

think so if you an eag I actually don't

I think brother like being Brothers kind

of Trumps everything he's some are

saying I saw a couple tweets that he's a

bigger Chiefs fan than Max is an Eagles

fan I it would not bother me it would

not bother me love yeah I I think that's

one of those things that if you're

trying to find an issue with that you

you need to touch Gra as the kids say

I'm just saying go find another hobby

interesting yeah that would I just I'm

being dead dead honest like you got to

root for your brother like you have to

in that moment so I I mean he has been

at the games they had a a big hug after

the game Travis Kelce by the way should

I don't know we we should like put out

an investigation against him because he

he looked so washed for the second half

of the season and now he looks

incredible again what happened was he

just redoping us he was playing us I he

was I think he was playing the long game

on it I think the CH the Chiefs as a

whole might have been redoping us the

entire season trying to get the people

to say oh the Chiefs can't do it this

year this team sucks and then they have

all the all the bullettin board material

they could ever want maybe the entire

Chiefs maybe cadarius Tony was actually

the best signing of the off season yes

to tank a few games make him lose in in

very embarrassing fashion and now all of

a sudden everybody doesn't take Patrick

Mahomes in the chief's offense seriously

at all cadarius Tony with an alltime uh

idiot move of going on Instagram live

like I'm not hurt they're just they're

keeping me out of the game it's like

dude we all knew that the chiefs were

basically being nice to you saying that

you're hurt so you can save some face

maybe go to another team next year

they're not playing you because you're a

detriment to the team he was the last

person to realize that was what was

going on maybe I don't think they can

say that you're sitting out the game if

you're injured if you don't have an

injury yeah but I also think that being

nice they said in the in the report

right it was like for uh for injury and

also personal reasons the personal

reason being like you're not very good

at football yeah so I have something

else I want to say about Patrick Mahomes

that was they'll probably people like

you're glazing him so hard Patrick

Mahomes deserves a ton of credit for uh

how he's handled this season in moments

that we've he's been criticized publicly

whether it be complaining about the refs

after the Packers game complaining about

the refs after the Bills game he

deserves a ton of credit because what

Patrick Mahomes never did this entire

season is give any type of complaint

publicly about his wide receivers and

it's paying off now because he basically

he he he stood in front of the bullets

for these guys to suck for the majority

of the year and get their feet wet and

get a Rashid rice to a point where he's

like an actually really good receiver

that you can trust and I feel like

that's an underrated part of his

leadership where he was complaining

about everything else but deliberately

never saying like my receivers just suck

who would have blamed him if he had said

that after all the like they went

through this regular season and I think

that's a key piece of the Chiefs in

these playoffs and being able to play

like they're about to win another Super

Bowl in his ability to keep these guys

together and these like young guys their

confidence doesn't get shattered because

the best player in the world is like

yeah you guys suck I I liked Andy Reid's

play call at the end of the game too

when he was like it was the ultimate

they'll never see this coming Ms when

they hit mvs way down the field on that

play like nobody thought that's the guy

they're going to go to with that much

time like with that important of a play

happening at that moment it's like no

they're going to throw it probably to

rice or to Kelce or they're going to try

to give the ball to pcho somehow but no

they went to the guy that probably

hadn't there were a lot of times this

season where momes you're right could

have just like destroyed the ego of his

guys and maybe he did behind the scenes

I don't know but doubt but definitely

but definitely not in in the Press when

he didn't even look like he was thinking

that way yeah he just would blame the we

all we all criticize him because he

looked like a baby sometimes complaining

about the refs and all this stuff it's

like I'm thinking back to him like that

was probably a little bit deliberate

where it's like he's going to find

anything but his receivers to blame so

yeah mvs is a perfect example like mvs

gets a lot of [ __ ] he's he obviously has

problems catching the ball which is his

job NBS also gets asked to catch a lot

of the hard the difficult catches

because he's so fast over the shoulder

one right right so there's a little bit

of like he's not he's not catching you

know five yard Slants where it's easier

to catch uh but yeah that that's a guy

who his confidence could have waned and

then in the big moment Patrick Mahomes

trusts to throw him a perfect ball to

seal the game and go back to the Super

Bowl yeah if you're a Ravens fan you're

probably pretty upset

because it seemed like this was the

healthiest that the Ravens could

possibly be yeah over the last like

three seasons I think today was probably

the Ravens at their healthiest that

they've been maybe like week one of uh

the 2021 season and and and Kyle

Hamilton was awesome he so good so so

good Z flowers was awesome obviously he

fumbled but he was their offense for a

while there and then he cut his hand on

the bench yeah and frustration and I

don't know like Lamar obviously the easy

hot take thing to say is like Lamar

can't you know he choked again in the

playoffs and it does suck because that

is what we' that's all we've seen we

have not seen him step his game up and

get to that next level this was the

moment to get to the next level and he

did not it was just weird watching the

Ravens especially in the first half it

felt felt like they had came out being

like we're going to win no matter what

and they got punched in the mouth and

then they were just chasing it for the

rest of the game Lamar has these games

in the playoffs though like this was not

the same Lamar that we've seen for the

entire season where he has the lowest

offensive output the lowest number of

points score where he just like turns

into a different player that happens

once every playoffs with him sus it

sucks it sucks if you're a Ravens fan

sucks if you're uh a player on the ra

sucks if you're Lamar too because now

now the narrative is fully there did I

did and I I mentioned this to you in

private but I would like to make it in

public was and everyone can chime in

here was watching this

game on a bigger level obviously these

two guys Mahomes and Lamar Lamar's about

to be the MVP again like he's an

incredible quarterback I'm not going to

diminish that but was it just watching

the Justin Fields versus Caleb Williams

debate play out in real time like one

guy can make all the passes one guy can

he's a he's a good passer but when the

things get tight Windows get tight

moments get tight the passes aren't

exactly precise like they have been

maybe earlier in the season yeah uh I I

can see where you're coming out with

that the first half from Mahomes was

just electrifying yeah the ball wasn't

touching the ground I think when 10 for

10 his first 10 were completion he was

out of control and then I think the 11th

one might have been a drop yeah so yeah

he was he was very very good I don't I I

think that Justin is different from

Lamar though no I know Lamar is way

better I'm saying that I'm not there's

no debate I'm just saying like when the

when the big moments happen you have to

have a guy who you trust passing the

ball yeah and Lamar I I thought I trust

passing the ball but there was moments

today where I was like that likely

interception was so bad again he was

missing some short throws early and you

could call if you want to say the play

calling was so bad that he was never had

a chance I actually will buy it because

it was so baffling to watch what the

Ravens were doing offensively but yeah I

just it it it will it will follow him

because this is another moment where

it's like we need Lamar to make these

big time throws and they just weren't

there and the Deep balls too the Deep

balls were a problems right so the Deep

balls to he had a couple to Odell there

was a very funny one where Odell put his

hand up like Randy Moss when he got two

steps on the cornerback and then the

second the hand went up he slowed down

so much the quarterback was just all

over him ball was still overthrown by

like three four yards there were a

couple of those to Beckham and then

there were a couple deep ones I I want

to say that there were to aglar maybe

that were overthrown that same way but

yeah um when he's just if he gets a good

poet and everything's on time he's a

great passer if he has to move around a

little bit and he's trying to decide

whether or not he's going to take off

and run or whether or not he's going to

stay in the pocket and throw that's when

he doesn't have that exact touch that

you want right and I maybe it's maturity

that I'm trying to find a way to not

like just knee-jerk winners and losers

that guy stinks that guy's good because

I still think Lamar is a a great great

he's a franchise quarterback he's top

five quarterback but this was a

disappointing game no way you can look

at it yeah speaking of which I just

wanted to throw no you know what I'll do

that at the end of the show I'll do I

have a stat at the end of the show I'll

do so that we'll just keep it we'll keep

it to the end of the show at the very

end of the show um in terms of the

Chiefs and going back to the Super Bowl

I know people are very tired of the

Chiefs this is what this is the next

step in greatness that the whole country

starts to hate you they were they had

that uh I think meme did memes post it

the AFC Championship game from 2019

where it was like who's rooting for the

Chiefs and who's rooting for the

Patriots and it was just New England

rooting for the Patriots and the entire

country rooting for the Chiefs and then

it was this year who's rooting for the

Ravens who's rooting for the Chiefs it

was just Kansas City and Missouri

rooting for the Chiefs and the entire

country rooting for the r was that one

of those Maps was that a Jeff D L map

Jack map it feels right like everyone

was rooting against the Chiefs that's

the next step in greatness where the

whole world happened to the Warriors

like it's just this is what this is what

you get when you're this great all the

time the the 31 other teams do not want

you to succeed anymore yeah this is it's

them against the world quite literally

yeah I I do agree with that the Chiefs

like say what you want about them um but

I think they're they're more fun than

most dynasties like this because it's

hard to watch and Steph Curry is the

same way I I would equate them to being

like you C you can watch those two teams

play and be like holy [ __ ] it's amazing

I love watching what this guy does yeah

there's some dynasties where you watch

players and you're like I'm just sick of

this [ __ ] I'm completely over it but

Mahomes is good for like one or two

plays a game that you'll never see and

you have to like appreciate that

greatness as it's happening so I think

people can like be like no I'm sick of

the Chiefs but also holy [ __ ] this is

fun yeah Hank do you I mean you see it

the yeah I'm sick of them I don't agree

with that yeah I I root against him as

hard as I can uh not fun to watch I mean

Mahomes is great he played

great with that being said they didn't

play great in the second half Lamar

Jackson was just nowhere to be found

yeah I mean that's kind of how the

Chiefs have been though this year where

they're I mean it's I think the stat is

something crazy like 16 and two to the

second half under like they just their

offense kind of goes into whatever needs

to be done not anymore and their defense

starts to shut teams down like Chris

Jones even uh Nate Ty who does a great

job he does a podcast with Robert Mays

they he had a stat where Chris Jones not

that he's like taking plays off but his

stats first half to second half are like

insanely different because he's just

kind of feeling out the game and then in

the second half he's like I'm going to

be the closer I'm going to shut everyone

down that's the Vince Young first half

chill out second half go the [ __ ] off

yeah so that like there is something

about how the Chiefs have have that's

kind of how their season has gone where

like when they when they win games it's

like punch them in the mouth get up big

and then not hold on but like it the

game slows they they slow down the game

you know and and their defense shows up

it sucks to watch because they just

suffocate you is it is it good for Tom

Brady fans such as sank that all this

greatness from Mahomes is shining a

greater light on how good Tom Brady was

oh it's good point yeah I mean they keep

showing the I wouldn't have read those

amazing stats from Tom Brady if Patrick

Mahomes wasn't doing this back to back

Brady was two two and0 against him in

the playoff career which is you can

always hang your head on that but it

feels like the the magic has has worn

out the Chiefs are going to blow blow

past the 49ers in the Super Bowl O early

prediction yeah they just find a way

they find a way and they have to

completely changed like think about the

Chiefs winning their Super Bowl the last

time they played the ners that defense

wasn't great and that offense was

explosive now their offense can still be

explosive at times because it's momes

but their defense is like carrying a

huge load they were down going in the

fourth right against those niners teams

the the garolo overthrow in the fourth

quarter yeah and by 11 yeah yeah and the

the 49ers feels like they should have

lost both of their playoff games the

Chiefs went into Buffalo beat Buffalo

went into Baltimore beat Baltimore yeah

it wasn't pretty but it was like yeah

they went in in two tough places to play

and beat teams they were underdogs in

both games and that's just Patrick

Mahomes as an underdog he's Underdog

again in the Super Bowl crazy [ __ ]

insane I'm going to do a game of the

year on the Chiefs San Francisco was up

20 to 10 with just more than six minutes

left in Super Bowl that was that was

their defense yeah their defense wasn't

great and Patrick Mahomes offense and

Tyreek Hill and all that but it this

also goes back I mean again we've we've

said it a million times but the Tyreek

Hill not signing him to a long-term deal

turns out to be genius because they have

remade their defense they're like lerus

Sneed is one of the best quarterbacks in

in the league like they they're young

everywhere and that's just incredible

roster management like the Patriots used

to do where they were just they'd have

to just have a whole new roster of guys

around Tom Brady and you know if you

have Tom Brady you're going to win also

Mahomes is playing on a sweetheart

Hometown deal too yeah yeah remember

like the day after he signed the deal

people were like well uh that he's

already underpaid yeah basically well

he's one of those athletes like it's him

in Lebron where it's like if it was free

market they'd get paid a billion dollars

yeah yeah truly yeah if there was no

such thing as the salary yeah right what

is he worth to your franchise a billion

dollar Jerry Jones would give away his

entire family for Patrick Ms if he could

easily easily easily um so Andy Reid

also going for potentially in the goat

conversation well again we've had this

debate we said the debate was whether

there would be a debate um which I think

we're going to be right about that he

still has a long way to go to get to

Bill bich but if he wins back toback

Super Bowls which hasn't been done since

Bill bich three and whatever however

many years this has been and going to

four and he's gone to two he's gone to

Super Bowl with two different franchises

pretty pretty crazy really crazy yeah so

I I think you're right I think if he

does do this then we'll be we'll talk

about it yeah we won't say that he's

obviously he has a long way to go to get

there but he also had like a a pretty

good successful run in Philly for a long

time yeah just couldn't get to the Super

Bowl um last thing we're going to get

just

completely drowned in Taylor Swift talk

you know that yeah I mean it's already

happened it's already happened you see

Andy re did point so in the post game

they pointed at each other they look to

share a little bit of a moment there I

saw a picture that was going around I

don't know if it's real or not yeah

she's suing how many fingers did he have

he had six that I could see in the point

he's pointing all six fingers at her

yeah so I it seems like Sparks were

flying in that postgame interaction

there also if you watch the video of of

Jason and Travis saying what's up to

each other dapping each other up um

Taylor sneaks around she lets them have

their moment she falls into the

background walks around and makes a

beline towards who Jeff Darlington ooh

he had another viral tweet about her he

was the one who tweeted out the point

yeah oh yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah also

Tony Romo saw Taylor Swift that was fun

she complimented him yeah yeah well

she's got bad taste um bad taste and men

I have a take I have a take I think that

the Super Bowl should be announced by

the best announcers that year well just

like the game is played by the best

teams that year we're GNA get Tony Romo

and we're going to get Jim Nance and

Tony Romo is going to annoy the [ __ ] out

of America it should be Greg Olsen and

Jim N

well good thing we have an alternate

option this year Nickelodeon oh okay

yeah um I have a take and this is I I'll

say a a friend of the show told me this

he does not he has no inside information

but I want to also protect his identity

he has a theory that this might be Jim

n's last football game oh really yeah he

did he did retire from March Madness

this past year he's going to do the

masters's going to do golf but my I

started thinking about it we've had a

trade or we've had potential trades in

broadcasters before um I think was

wasn't there a deal like Al Michaels Al

Michaels uh was traded for the rights

toaldo the rabbit yeah that's right all

right so what why doesn't CBS if they

lose Jim Nance because then you're going

to get we're gonna get just stuck with

Tony Romo and Tom Brady might be coming

into the mix Fox why doesn't CBS trade

for Greg Olsen yeah that's Greg Olson is

so good yeah and I know he's a friend of

ours but he's so good like just trade

for Kevin Burkhart and and Greg olssen

have Tom Brady do it with Jim Gray Tony

Romo just go play golf he is actually

doesn't really call games no Jake it was

a joke that's all he does is he does

podcast with Jim Gray that's it Tom

Brady only does Jim Gray so I think we

said this last year but Greg Olen did so

good in the Super Bowl that he at least

gives Fox something to think about

because they've got what how many

millions invested in Tom Brady on like a

Futures Contract for whenever Tom

decides to show up right like you could

maybe even trade Tom the writes to Tom

Brady yeah CBS get get 10 for 375 get

Greg Olsen swap with Tony Ro Tony Romo

also had an alltime uh no no in the

broadcast Booth when he's like and

that's the game and what was it like

five minutes left and I think it was

after the likely interceptions like you

don't do that that's a game almost like

that yeah pretty much it's basic game

yeah no what they should do I think I

think they should trade Romo for the

rights to Tom Brady to CBS keep Greg

Olson on Fox and Jim N would probably

stay if he got to call games with with

Tom BR he got to work with Brady yeah

and then yeah then Romo gets to go do

whatever go vacation solved it all yeah

perfect um yeah Chiefs back in the Super

Bowl and they're underdogs I'm going to

make it a game of the

year are you going to do it Hank yeah I

already did yeah it feels like the

Chiefs like they're inevitable Patrick

Mahomes is inevitable I'm sick of just

getting burned I have to reassess my my

my uh strategy with future and maybe I

should introduce the word hedging into

my life because this was now four great

values that I lost in uh 13 months all

to Patrick mahom but it's good value

that's the thing it's great value it was

a good bet well people are like oh

you're such an idiot for betting the

Ravens like dude I bet him in August at

18 to1 you would love to have a 18 to1

ticket going into the championship game

as a four and a half Point favorite the

part that I fail at is the hedging yeah

I still haven't figured out which way

I'm going to bet during the Super Bowl I

you're right you're right he's

inevitable but now I feel like everybody

is saying Patrick Mahomes is inevitable

well he's been inevitable for a while

now though yeah but everyone's realizing

it I don't know I I'm going to stand by

but I've realized when you do BR

comparisons it's like they said that too

and he always won yeah I mean stand by

I'm going to run the numbers I'm going

to Crunch them and I'm going to trust

I'm going to trust the D still going to

be a lot of people who bet on the Niners

I said on Friday I was like if I didn't

have the Ravens future I'd bet on the

Chiefs in this game because it's just

that's just what he does yep so I didn't

even it I saw it coming I probably could

have done something but I'm too stupid

to do something but I did see a you kind

of you were pot committed at that point

right exactly it's like I you know it's

fun to have something that you ride for

an extended period of time to to hedge

out of that come on but I should

probably reassess this situation oh the

situation is fluid uh what are you going

to say Jake I enjoy watching this run of

greatness I know a lot of people are

sick of it but like you're going to look

back one day and be like damn I got to

watch Mahomes and Kelsey do this year

after year after year and it's like as a

neutral party I'm like this is cool to

watch Hank I want Hank thoughts right

away I'm sick of it yeah I know you are

that disgust you what Jake just said

yeah and it dis it's gonna disuss a lot

of people but I I like watching it as a

fan of an AFC team that's especially

disgusting like a team that has title

aspirations that maybe gets one of momes

now that they're eliminated few weeks in

the past it's like all right this is

cool um yeah as a fan of an NFC team

that hasn't been to a Super Bowl in what

34 years 33 years I'm I'm okay with

watching greatness at this level but if

I was a fan of an AFC team I would also

much m in the NFC I'd hate him so much I

would hate him oh I would hate him if I

lost to him in a Super Bowl as an NFC

team I would hate him yes oh I'd hate

his guts so bad but again I don't live

and die by my phanthom so you like to

watch the story exactly this is a great

story for the history of football it

would have been great if Lamar had won a

Super Bowl 2 mhm it would have been a

great story for the history of my life

or the pills or the pills bills would

been Lions the Dolphins or the Dolphins

or the Steelers yeah or the Browns you

could twist it in any anyway so the

point is what you're saying is dumb

because literally anyone who gets to the

Super Bowl there's a story yes but these

types of Stories the Browns were playing

in the Super Bowl this year would be an

incredible story would it not it would

but the Texans were the longer version

of the story Steelers are the only story

that probably would have sucked yeah

that's it like every other AFC team

there would have been at least a cool

story yeah with the Steelers I don't

know what the story would have been it

would have just been like mik Tomlin

like average team overachieves their way

to Greatness all you all you see

students out there have something to

hope for yeah this is why you never get

divorced yeah just stick it out stay

with it you're fine stay with it

eventually you'll have one night of

great sex yeah have another kid another

quarterback yeah you you just stick sa

the franchise yes uh okay again I mean

it was it was just a Master Class by the

chief's defense in Mahomes first two

drives were just so I mean they were you

the ball didn't hit the ground it was

insane it was crazy yeah that that

second Drive I know the first drive was

great because he he completed every pass

that second drive though was that was so

like that's what breaks your back if

you're watching if you're rooting for a

team against Mahomes because it was four

third Downs that he picked up all

himself and just big play after big play

after big play you just know he's going

to be there and when he completed that

pass where he got hit in the face at

that point I thought it was over he kind

of ran it was like arm when that when

that [ __ ] happens then you know that

there's something weird going on it's

going to it's going to be one of those

games yeah he got punched it was a

clothes line it was bad uh yeah I I I'm

not I can't say that I'm rooting for the

Chiefs except I'm just going to bet on

them because they are inevitable like

that's how I feel about the Chiefs at

this point I don't I would love for our

good friend KD to win a Super Bowl um

but I'm going to emotionally set myself

ready for Patrick Mahomes to win it

again and by doing that I'm just gonna

bet on him and we should go back and

watch that that bucks Chief Super Bowl

how did they stop him they what's the

magic Chief the chief's offensive line

was completely decimated that's how they

stopped it was home they had like I

think they didn't have anyone I think

they literally had no off that was right

that was the end of the like big

contracts not on the offensive line and

they basically shifted and they've and

the chief's offensive line has been

awesome they were so they were so good

today especially considering that thuny

had a a PEC tear yeah like what the [ __ ]

you you're just able to put another guy

and substitute for one of the in the

league and just not lose any steps

whatsoever but that was that buck Super

Bowl was the Chiefs had no offensive

lineman left and I I actually weirdly

watched back I've been I I guess it's

not weird because I like football a lot

but I've been watching back old Super

Bowls like the the the condens cut on

YouTube and I watched that a few days

ago and Mahomes had like no time and was

running for his life on every play they

had like no fans in the stand too right

no they did have fans they had uh it

first respond First Responders in the

stand pretty full so we do we need

another pandemic to stop Mahomes yeah

the only thing that can stop him is a CO

year Well if they beat the 49ers in the

Super Bowl Watch Out World Watch Out

World yeah I don't like I don't like

that that's not great what you guys

think of that uh pregame kerfuffle the

what the kerfuffle the kerfuffle before

the game Justin Tucker um Travis Kelce

bullying a poor helpless kicker yeah is

that the message that we want to send to

people is that like that's cool now

that's what that's what you should do is

pick the weakest skinniest best singer

on the field and then just treat him

like dirt um it was awesome it was good

I I liked it because everything about

this was leading to a big game it was

like these two teams don't like each

other yeah there was there was another

one uh it was like one Raven vers like

six Chiefs before the game kicked off I

want that I want the anger to be just

boiling over right before kickoff I want

these two teams to hate each other right

I want them to like despise each other

right I want them to try to to like

bring knives on the field I want it to

be like the The Last Boy Scout yeah I

want as much like uh a possibility for

violence to happen at any given second I

got one last question for us before we

go to the NFC championship

game will you trust Lamar next year when

they're in the playoffs uh probably

because I'm dumb and I've got the

attention span of a goldfish so if Lamar

has another MVP season I'll probably be

like you know what the playoffs are a

small sample size you have to look at

the odds the odds are Lamar is going to

be good cuz I I love watching Lamar play

football and he so much fun and he has

been so good but this one hurts if

you're if you're standing on the Lamar

like you know he's up there in terms of

passers with all these other guys

because it just it didn't look it didn't

look like Joe burrow or Patrick Mahomes

or Josh Allen has looked at times in

like these big games he can have these

types of games though as long as he he

runs with the ball and he was like a

half second like I said I know he was a

half second late leaving the pocket for

almost the entire game I know so If he

if he has these bad games it's okay as

long as he's still breaking off like 15

20 yard runs left and right that's fine

you that's actually a a trade-off most

people would make to have a guy that

throws like a bad boneheaded

interception but at the same time ends

up with like 90 yards rushing in a

touchdown all right yeah all right I'm

going to trust him you can talk yourself

back into back into Lamar Jackson

imagine if if Dak had thrown that pick

yeah it would have been great that would

have been incredible there were three

guys right there there were three guys

three dudes and it was all you needed

was you needed a field goal you had to

have a field goal in that in that

situation yeah he's like [ __ ] it I'm

going to throw it to Isaiah likeley

covered by three guys for blame I'm

giving I'm giving 70% of the blame to

Lamar and then 30% to Todd monin yeah

Todd monin deserves a lot of blame he

got he got his he got his lunch ate by

spags uh and by his own doing his own

stupidity it did just feel like the

Ravens thought they were going to win

that game and they they didn't realize

PMT okay NFC Championship game San

Francisco 49ers 34 Detroit Lions 31 we

should start with the Lions and what

will be one of the most horrific losses

is uh yeah that was a horrific horrific

loss if your alliance fan bad way to

lose a football game you had CD Deuce

waving goodbye to the Niners fans in the

first half first half was all lions the

first half looked like the ners were one

of the worst teams in the league the

play calling was awesome from the Lions

the second half things started to get

tight there were a lot of there was some

fluky stuff that happened some weird

[ __ ] going on deep pass to to uh Brandon

iuk and it bounced off kindall V helmet

yeah that was bad and then auk in the

pre he said in the post game that before

the game a ladybug landed on his shoe

and he knew he was going to have a lucky

day that was pretty [ __ ] lucky that

was ladybug luck that was lucky that was

like the um that uh the past the the in

the Seahawks Patriots Super Bowl where

it like bounced around yeah on the

defender and picked it up um and then

who was it the tight end right on the

Seahawks caught that one yeah yeah we

don't talk about that that much because

of what happened next but it was similar

it was very similar it was wild um it

looked like the the Lions could run the

ball at will at against the ners it

three yards every time the not three

yards rushing three yards the offensive

line would displace the defensive line

they were getting shoved shoved around

and we've said that the the 49ers have a

hard time playing from behind on defense

which I still think is kind of true but

then some weird [ __ ] happened in the

second half they had a great force

fumble against Gibbs so you can't take

that away from the Niners defense they

they forced that fumble oh yeah that

wasn't a forced fumble the one they no

the one they reached in are you talking

about the one where they where he went

the wrong way on Gib handoff was like

all disjointed they reached in they

grabbed the ball yeah but it was a

disjointed like handoff it it was

disjointed but they they still forced a

fumble yeah um and then the uh the

fourth down play calls we should talk

about that's what everyone's going to

want to talk about by the way the the

Detroit Free Press uh tweeted final you

know what happened yep that as sad as it

gets so the fourth down play calls there

were multiple uh we actually people will

focus on the two in the second half I

think you actually have to talk a little

bit about the first one in the first

half at the end of the first half with

10 seconds left Dan Campbell kicks a

field goal now as a chip shot field goal

it was like they were on like the five

yard line that was a little confusing

though because Dan Campbell has been the

king of aggression the king of balls to

the wall and that was like okay I I'm a

big believer in if you want to go

aggressive stay aggressive if you want

to be you know you know punt it and play

defense do that that's fine just don't

go wishy-washy that's what killed

Brandon Staley when you start to just

second guess and and and do things

differently in situations like Dan

Campbell I thought he was going to be

aggressive there he explained it that it

was just a little bit too far for what

they wanted to do um fine the one in the

the third quarter they're up 14

they're on the 30 ydd line 28 yd line I

believe I think it was 28 yard line

because I think it would have been a 45

yard field goal it been a 45 yard field

goal um and they went for it and that's

the one that people are very upset about

I don't mind that one yeah I don't I

don't mind that at all because because

the the play call worked they probably

should have run the ball there that

probably would have been easier to do

but Josh Reynolds he just dropped the

ball right it was it was a play that

worked and at the time it felt like you

get that first down and you step on

their throats and they're done right

right and yeah you can send out your

kicker to try a 45 yard field goal he's

not the greatest kicker in the world

they don't trust them you're not

guaranteed to make three points with

that right I don't mind that play call

whatsoever it was a good play call it

was a good call to go for it he just

dropped it so the big and we've had this

debate a lot like analytics verse you

know I don't even think this is analy I

think it's just Dan Campbell is very

aggressive and he's been aggressive all

year the whole reason the lions are in

this spot is because of his aggression

that's how he coaches the team that's

how he's built the team like they just

go for your throat so I I agree with you

I don't hate that call because I I

really think people are just forgetting

the fact they do not like or trust their

kicker I think they brought Badgley back

like a few weeks ago he's tried two

kicks over 40 yards

77% I I kind of like the fact that in

and Dan Campbell knows in the back of

his head our defense isn't the best we

have to keep scoring seven not three

I agree with you and and Josh Reynolds

the ball hit his hands you can touch it

you can catch it people are mad at at

Dan Campbell because he's he's always

the guy he's the meme of the giant balls

in the wheelbarrow this time his balls

were so big his receivers couldn't catch

him yeah and it was I think the right

call it was a right play call it was a

bad execution from Josh Reynolds who had

he had some bad drops he had that third

and 10 drop that was really bad the um

the other one so the other one is the

other yeah they were they were uh not as

similar situation because then by the

time they we got to the other one it was

2724 uh Niners so the first one happened

it was

2410 Lions so they were trying to

basically be like if we can go up 21

like we'll put this game away people are

going to say you go up three scores I

get it I I you can convince me kind of

either way on that one I like it just

because that's how Dan Campbell's

coached and he's being consistent about

it the other one was ners are up three

and you're on Fourth and I think it was

fourth and three this time and it was on

the

30 that one I feel like maybe he should

have kicked yeah and I don't know what

the numbers say if you get into the math

we're not math guys I don't know but it

feels like it's very important to tie

the game right there I just yeah because

what happened is the ners then went and

and scored a touchdown it became a

10-point game with four minutes left and

it's like the game's over everything

fell apart after that auk touchdown

everything uh they had that one bomb

from Jack Fox I think he punted the ball

like 75 yards in the air Y and it

bounced straight up at the one yard line

then the guy catches it and steps on the

goal line resulting in a Touchback it

felt like all the small stuff was

falling apart for the Lions at that

point and the game kind of got out of

control for them and here's um here's I

don't know how these are uh this these

numbers are crunched but I'll just say

him uh Ben solik had it expected points

loss for Detroit Gibbs fumble minus 5

and a half auk reception off vor's face

mask minus

3.3 Reynolds fourth down drop minus 3.2

incomplete to St Brown on Fourth three

minus 2.6 so the Gibbs fumble and the

iuk reception cost them more than the

fourth down failed fourth down yes like

that's I know that the game can be we we

do this thing because we we watch and

the easiest thing to do is criticize the

coach and I get it people are gonna be

like Dan Cable's an idiot because

there's one other decision I want to get

to that was very mind-numbing but the

biggest plays of this game were those

two was the fumble and the auk reception

those were the biggest swings in in win

probability yeah but this is going to

seem like a big like knock against being

aggressive on fourth down I don't even

think the calls were that aggressive on

fourth down they're you're only calling

them aggressive because they didn't work

if they had worked it would be just

another Dan Campbell fourth down play

call correct and Reynolds if Reynolds

catches that the Lions probably win the

game which he should have as somebody

who had bet on Josh Reynolds to catch

more than one and a half balls right I

know for a fact that Josh Reynolds

should have caught at least two balls

that game so the fourth down decision

bot we're looking at right now it was a

go for it because it added plus two win

probability now I I honestly don't like

I people get mad about the numbers and I

understand it because you can't play

football on a spreadsheet but I there's

a such a thing as as a game Flow and and

understanding the situation and who

you're playing against but that's my

whole point that that's why I didn't

hate him going for it on Fourth and two

the first time because he he knows his

team and he's been this guy the entire

season and this is what got them there

and their defense is not great like you

you could see that there was going to be

some cracks forming in the second half

it go get go try to like go up 21 and

and put the Niners away yeah so you can

criticize his decision- making for sure

but as far as having Dan Campbell as

your head coach like do you think the

lons would be better off if they did not

have Dan Campbell as a head coach like

no chance they're in the NFC

championship game they have not been in

the NFC championship game in 30 plus

years yeah and credit to the ners too

because the ners they were able to kind

of adjust and respond Brock pie played

like [ __ ] in the first half second half

he turned into that the uh ESPN article

What if Michael Vic were white yeah that

was was running everywhere the uh last

one I wanted to say about Dan Campbell

the one thing that did drive me nuts is

that timeout that he used at the end of

the game and to run the ball on third

down and then call a timeout that's not

hindsight either like we're watching

that we were saying it is we're like

what the [ __ ] are you doing now you have

to recover an onside kick right which

you can't do and this is kind of an as

side this has nothing to do with this

game they need to change the onsite it's

impossible you used to be able to

recover an onside kick once every what

10 it was like 10 11% of the time now

nobody does now you got to hope for like

the biggest [ __ ] up ever to happen to

have a chance at it they need to change

the rule I because I like the onside

kick um but I don't like how it's set up

right now no it's impossible they've

made it impossible let them do the 10

yard runup that was a sick play do the

change it like the XFL and be like you

have to convert a fourth and 20 yeah

that that' be fine too I'd like the team

to have a chance whoever's trailing and

mounting a comeback I'd like for them to

be in the game at the end but now once

they burned that time out it was so bad

it was like the game's over that was so

bad Todd Bulls would have just packed

his [ __ ] and gone home then yeah yeah

right he would have just shook his hand

and been like I'm not going to use these

timeouts I I thought they were going to

kick the field goal there that's why

they ran so they were going to rush out

the T the the field goal unit kick the

field goal go down seven that was

baffling to me why they would run and

then have to use a timeout that one you

can run on fourth down it did feel like

Dan Campbell as the game

progressed one thing you could you could

criticize him for and I I'll buy this is

like it did feel like and I know this is

a gambler myself like he was kind of

pushing a little bit where he's like I'm

gonna keep pushing I'm gonna keep

pushing someone said that Dan Campbell

would hit on 18 in blackjack like it did

feel like he was doing that where he's

like just keep pushing keep pushing and

that that was where I was like what's

going on in his brain right now yeah he

doubles down every single time every

hand and then he doubles his bet on the

next hand yeah again I don't have a

problem with going forward on the first

fourth down I don't have a problem going

for on the second although I probably

would have rather kicked that I don't I

just don't feel strongly enough to say

like you have to kick that I don't mind

it it was it was a weird play call um

but then also at the end of the half

kicking a field goal yeah going along

with that the rest of your strategy the

consistency doesn't make a whole lot of

sense like go for it all three times

kick the field goal all three times I

kind of like the like they were all very

similar situations where it's like you

have two or three yards to gain um and

that's that was brutal for the lines

because it really did feel feel like

everything fell apart in those I I know

that they'll say momentum but like

momentum had nothing to do with a ball

thrown 50 yards bouncing off a guy's

face mask into Brandon auk's hand yeah

that was insane that wasn't momentum

that was just an insane crazy play that

happened that was the ladybug effect

yeah and so the yeah the ners Brock pie

was very good in the second half um

Chris mcaffrey continues to be just

insane scores no matter I mean his

prices to score are insane and he just

keeps boring um and yeah I I like that

first half I won't get out of my mind

though with the Niners going into the

Super Bowl where it's like they just

they just got run on so hardcore yeah

they were just so out of place in every

play and they did make good adjustments

and they they did dial up some stuff in

the second half that like you saw Jared

was a little more rushed uh but it was

it was crazy to watch the Niners like

this is now two games in a row like Hank

said like they barely won these both

these games they get credit for winning

them but it's also like that's not

sustainable they also beat the cousins

curse until this year no no team that

had lost to kurk cousins had ever been

to a Super Bowl oh wow so yeah monkey

off the back K shanan apparently can

come from behind in the fourth quarter

so that's that's another thing that

they've gotten off there uh but yeah

Brock pie not good in the first half

second half different guy if Brock P was

taken with like a top 10 pick I'm not

even saying like number one overall if

it was a first round draft pick

I think we'd be like pie is good showing

signs of of living up to his draft

status right I don't think that we'd

[ __ ] on him all the time there was a

very funny moment though the cave when

he dropped back and uh Aran Foster was

watching with us he does not like Brock

birie he watchs him drop back and he

goes he reminds me a lot of TJ Yates and

then as the ball leaves his hand threw a

pick intercepted like right away but I

think that if he was like if he had that

pedigree if he was a first round pick

we'd be like PR's good and I think he's

probably on track to be a franchise

quarterback it is crazy though so by the

way they were tied going in the fourth

quarter so Kyle shanan doesn't get an

extra win on his oh on the 1 and 31 yeah

on the 1 and 31 he doesn't get an extra

one they were tied in going in the

fourth quarter well he's one and 31 when

not winning not leading the game no it's

1 and 31 when uh down by five or more

going um it it is crazy just how

much everything swings in these games in

terms of Dan Campbell if they win this

game they go to the Super Bowl he's even

if they lose the Super Bowl like the

they're the last franchise that's played

in every year has not been to the Super

Bowl like he's statue even if they lose

he's probably statue and if they win

that game if the Niners lose that game

like is Kirk Cousins the quarterback

next year he still might be I don't know

he still might be but like it's just

nuts how much the the swing is with how

you feel about these these teams in like

their future he still might be you you

might be right yeah so let's let's talk

about this matchup compared to the 2020

matchup because I think I don't know

I've seen a lot of people saying like

we're going to do this thing again the

ners are a much different team they've

got they don't have Jimmy Garoppolo

they've got Brock py who I think we can

all agree is an upgrade right over Jimmy

G would you rather right now have Jimmy

G starting well Jimmy G is older and

like hurt every year yeah I i' take I

think they're very similar I would take

perie um they did not have Christian

mcaffrey right in 202 so that's where I

think big difference Jimmy on this team

like from 2020 I I think it'd be very

similar but yeah it's a it's a big

difference yeah but I'm just saying like

this 49ers is is better offensively yeah

no they have a ton more yeah like

Brandon auk's come on yeah Chris mcaffry

makes all the worlds different Debo's

still Debo yeah Debo's still Debo um it

also a fun stat uh this hold on let me

find the Tweet here we go Brock pie

would be the second seventh round draft

pick in the last 25 years to be a super

starter at QB the other guy this guy Tom

Brady it's crazy whoa there was another

stat I forget who you guys didn't get it

Tom Brady was actually a sixth round

draft pick Rell deleted this wait would

read the Tweet again uh Brock pry would

be the second seventh round draft pick

in the last 25 years to be a Super Bowl

starter at QB the other guy this guy Tom

Brady it was Tom Brady as a little kid

in a San Francisco 49ers jersey he had

this loaded for a very long time yeah

that's wild he was he was picked 199th

overall right yes he deleted did that

yeah uh we're on your ass I am I'm very

excited for the Super Bowl I really am I

am too I think it's a Super Bowl it's a

Super Bowl how could you not be excited

also I mean game it it really makes you

go back and think like if the ners had

had Brock pie last year in the NFC

Championship Game how much different

would this be a rematch um well I

actually have a funny tweet about that

this game really makes you wonder how

much more the Eagles would have won by

last year if pie never got

hurt that was from Philly May oh when

was that

um that was around 7:30 so it's probably

second quarter maybe at half time half

time yeah yeah yeah twe so did it made

you it made you wonder after wondering

on it for a little bit what did you come

up with eagle still win that game for

sure okay yeah sure oh also um all the

listeners out there Max has agreed to

try to get Taylor Swift on the podcast

for Super Bowl week I have sources that

say that she's not going to be be in

Vegas when we're in Vegas she's going to

be conc we could we could go to Jaan if

you want yeah you can book it we'll go I

would go to Japan for that you want to

go to Japan our you know what we usually

just do inperson interviews I'll do Zoom

yeah I'll do Zoom too I'll Zoom with

Taylor all right I'll do Zoom or if she

wants us in her box we will go in inside

of her

box all right all right perfect you have

the connection with Jason he'll be in

the Box do we have a connection with

Jason I mean he maybe we're both

for him we would be friends for sure

yeah we would we actually would be

friends hung out with him once no if I H

out with him we for sure so I guess that

is a connection yeah I I think he'd

probably listen to that if that was your

pitch like hey Jason you don't know me

but we would be like best friends look

at me look at you he'd probably be like

yeah you're this guy's probably right

I'll just read the Always Sunny Chase

hutley to him it would be like Jason

like if I was you know uh a couple

inches taller and and maybe a little bit

stronger like I could have I could have

been your

life probably what do you think the odds

are that we get Taylor on the podcast

zero. zero sorry I burped

o 1% so it's not zero so you're saying

there's a chance no cuz like there could

be like a like a Warfare and like

everyone dies and it's just us and we're

like you want to do our pod yeah no

one's coming to your show right no no

one's buying Travis could put in a word

he's been on I Jake I don't think you

understand how any of this works you

think Travis is going to tell her to no

but that's the point1 yeah no I I

actually don't think that's the 01 like

I said the 01 is like nuclear warfare

everyone dies except us and we're like

hey we have to send out help to the

aliens want to record a message with us

and we'll call it a podcast and then she

she'd probably be like have the aliens

on I think just like I'd rather die the

0.00001% is uh the exact same percentage

of the likelihood that Travis has not

heard any of the clips from us talking

about Taylor true true I do like Jake

that you think that like if we've had

someone on they're like our boys forever

yeah you always say that's the goal

friend of the show it doesn't it I'd say

it doesn't work for a lot of a lot of

the guests maybe Travis I don't think

tra if we saw Travis on the street I

don't think he would didn't he make fun

of Max no no that was Billy yeah he made

fun of Billy would he stop I do not

think so I don't think he'd probably on

his way to a commercial shoot my problem

is with Travis Kelce that every time now

that I see him on TV I think I'm in a

commercial yeah like he could be on the

sidelines and he'll cut to him I'll be

like is this an Old Spice commercial

where they're dressed up as the Chiefs

yeah like he's he's all over the place

he's really good by the way good for him

making the money yeah but still as a

viewer I he's now he's now part of the

commercials yeah we uh this will be a

big time like who's got the best tight

end Bowl uh because KD we we're we're

partial to KD uh did you see George KD

his block on Eden Hutchinson that was

football porn did you see it yeah I did

it was you can tell he's laughing too he

[ __ ] bodied him and I know Kelsey's a

better like has the accolades and is a

better catcher maybe um KD has to block

a lot so he doesn't get as many chances

there's a lot of weapons that you got to

feed KD can block he's I mean he could

play offensive line he's [ __ ] nasty

yeah he I love him so much I want to I

can't wait for the mik do to come out

from this like the NFL films recap watch

inside the NFL I guarantee you he was

laughing after that block and we'll get

we we'll get KD on the show Super Bowl

week so I'm excited for him to get back

to Super Bowl people were playing that

clip where he was you know sitting there

being like I'll be back here I'll be

back here so I'm happy he's back there

he's got to he's got to win this one but

I'm happy he's back there uh all right

anything else Lions fans I feel really

bad Detroit Donna he did reach out to me

he said uh he he's pretty sad pretty

down but there's a lot of things to be

looking forward to with this young lions

team I told him that in perpetuity if

the Lions go to the Super Bowl they

can't the one caveat is they can't beat

the commanders or the Bears on the road

to the Super Bowl yeah because I I don't

want to buy tickets for that but if they

go to the Super Bowl without that

happening I will buy them two tickets to

the Super Bowl but imagine a a commander

Lions NFC Championship game and the

stakes are either I get to go to a Super

Bowl yeah or the Lions go and I have to

buy them okay so maybe we'll keep it in

yeah yeah how much how much more

exciting would that be you're right

you're right got to chase that high uh

that was tough though for Lions I feel

bad I do I do think that the lions at

least from what I've seen in the

postgame they have a pretty good

attitude about it which they're not

saying it sucks but look at all we

accomplished like pan Su was like yeah

this doesn't mean [ __ ] that we lost here

yeah like we're not this isn't what we

set out to we're now we're like every

other team that lost this postseason

yeah Dan Campbell had some awesome

quotes he's like it's going to be it's

going to be twice as hard next year but

that's why we do it like this is why

this is what sports are they Crush you

oh that's what you you feel now I'm

looking forward to the discourse of what

do you do with Jared gof how much do you

pay jar I'm not looking forward to that

you're gonna have to pay him you're

gonna have to pay Jared and he deserves

every penny yeah well Ben Johnson's

gonna be your coach Ben John so watching

this game as a commanders fan it uh it

was great for me because Ben Johnson is

[ __ ] awesome I love his play calling

the offense is just Next Level they're a

step ahead and then on the Niner side of

the ball

Adam Peters our new GM help put that

team together yeah so I'm feeling if we

can just merge these two teams together

with play calling and talent then that's

what I want I say get the talent part is

definitely important because Ben Johnson

uh is incredible but he will not have

the Detroit Lions offensive line he

won't have that and Jared had a good

quote where he said like what I love

about Ben Johnson is that he does what

Chiefs opened his two and a half Point

underdogs it's now uh one point Underdog

so it has moved significantly early

money on the Chiefs I've already bet the

Chiefs plus 114 before it moved uh I

said I was going to do it I could get

burned but I'm sick of Patrick Mahomes

burning me yeah so and I I this is the

rare bet where it's like if they if the

Chiefs lose and I lose this money I'll

be so happy for KD and he'll probably

maybe give me the money I would be very

happy for KD for Shanahan for Trent

Williams to win a Super Bowl Deo Chase

Christian Chase young played so bad

today I don't know if you saw any of

those clips do um but yeah I would be

very happy to see those guys win a Super

Bowl I think I might go with Niners I

haven't decided yet I did put a future

on Christian mcaffrey winning the Super

Bowl MVP I would assume that would mean

that the ners would win that game they

would have to win the only thing that I

know for sure is I'm going to bet no

doinks again yeah I'm going to chase the

no have to I I have to get that money

back yeah you have to I I I'm going to

do the Unstoppable Force for the

immovable object to Game of the Year

versus Patrick Mahomes or game of the

year on Patrick Mahomes which one is is

more powerful yeah my jinxing ability my

terrible like my my awful awful gambling

record one of the worst gamblers of all

time if you game of the year and the

Chiefs lose it is going to be on site

for you in Kansas City yeah that will be

fair Chiefs fans can absolutely say I'm

not allowed in Kansas City although I am

believing in your guy where is Chief

saholic going to watch the game Jail

jail still in jail probably jail free

free Chiefs a holic still jail I think

it was mvs tweeted a tribute today did

he really nice let me double check that

was probably a difference in the game

I've also taken the Chiefs okay so Max

Max is a loser Max is a loser I'm a

loser this ner thing is Yukon written

all over it he tweeted oh you're just

going to bet against them every single

way alth they didn't cover against the

Packers no I actually haven't bet on the

ners or against them because I thought

that they were going to kill have you

thought about how pathetic it is what

you're doing yeah okay yeah I just want

to make sure because you're you're if

you had won the Super Bowl last year I

would understand everything you're doing

but you lost but ners fans that are just

annoying let's let's talk about this cuz

if you have the if you have the 49ers

that are definitely better that

[ __ ] graphic yeah get off the

screen it's the Washington coach's

graphic I hate it um if you take this

year's Niners and you just put Brock pie

back in that game from last year they

probably beat the Eagles right right how

many how many points did the Eagles lose

by to the Chiefs last year in the Super

Bowl three three points you think Brock

P's worth three points easily so I

versus a non quarterback but we're gonna

find out yeah I guess we'll find out we

find out exactly how many points Brock p

is worth I'm just I again I just if you

had won the Super Bowl I would totally

understand what you were doing but you

didn't but it's not it's not justifying

it to myself it's the ners fans you just

want to make sure that the sanctity of

thec Championship Banner that you

Rose you put up I

just don't want to hear from Niners fans

anymore got it got it well they kind of

already proved their point well if they

get smoked by the Chiefs then they don't

well no because they would have just

gotten Smoked by the Chiefs last year

but the Eagles did not get smoked by the

Chiefs okay so but they would have still

been to the Super Bowl they their their

point has already been your math your

math doesn't work out no they would have

they would have beaten the eagles they

were good to win the NFC last year they

won the NFC this year who knows what

happens in the Super Bowl but what show

why because they had Brock py healthy

this year they won the

NFC but last year Brock got hurt they

didn't win the NFC but that wasn't

against the Eagles I'm just saying they

they've Miss mission accomplished both

but both teams will play the Chiefs so

if the Niner if the Niners get blown out

by the Chiefs so you are just trying to

keep the sanctity of an NFC Championship

no I'm just I just don't want Niners

fans talking about how they would have

won that NFC Championship you don't want

Niners fans getting so up at that they

tell you that they would have gone to

the Super Bowl and lost the Chiefs

correct but they can because they you're

uping the NFC Championship he's

upholding the sanctity of his second

place yeah right it's pathetic only for

Niners fans got it it's pathetic not for

my own enjoyment I will say this though

Max is the best at being second place so

I understand that yeah I don't want to

be second place I don't want to be

second place uh how awesome would have

been though if it was the the Lions and

the Chiefs and you got Eminem against

Taylor Swift That Eminem picture was so

cool double Birds double Birds to all

the Niners it would have been great if

he what what if they came like in their

their pregame hype up video it was

Eminem doing the Eight Mile battle rap

but he was just rapping about Taylor

Swift the entire time oh it was it was

actually vivec doing it that would have

been that would have been insane yeah

just doing it all right okay I have a I

Henry yes is Bill belich gonna be

unemployed uh no I think we'll have a

job with uh fox fox I heard a rumor

today that it was go there Fox is going

to throw the bag at belich Brady grank

that would be awesome if belich was

sideline reporter for Brady's broadcast

I don't think I think getman

involved Forman booth that so this the

story broke right after we had to record

early on Thursday because we were doing

rough and rowdy uh Raheem Morris got

hired by the Falcons that looked like

the bill bich destination it looks like

it's going to be Ben Johnson to the

commanders and I believe believe is Mike

McDonald going to get the job in Seattle

I don't want to jinx anything I would

like Ben Johnson for the is what I'll

say and then yeah they're saying that

that probably McDonald okay either that

or maybe Dan Quinn still I don't know

Mike McDonald did a good good enough job

yeah today that he he should still get

the not that you should judge it on one

game but if you were thinking about

hiring Todd monin don't yeah uh that's

crazy though that bill belich is going

to be unemployed yeah insane I guess

it's just because of his age want to do

this all again and you four or five

years control is probably my guess is

that no team wants to give up control

for the it's a control age combo where

it's like we would like Bill belich the

coach we don't know if we want to give

Bill Bill bich the entire like franchise

if he's not going to coach for the next

10 years it's like an an older person

just wrecks the Range Rover right and

then they're like hey um I'd really like

to get the uh the grand Wagoner instead

and you're like wait a second what

happened to your last car going to take

your license away yeah maybe you go take

the test again yeah he should be I would

take bill belich as a defensive

coordinator right now no questions asked

yeah it is crazy though it's the it's

like a very big passing in the torch if

Pete Carroll and Bill belich can't get

jobs yeah as Mike Rael is just GNA sit

out a year he might be he might be a

defensive coordinator somewhere I don't

know i' like Mike Rael to sit out a year

and wait and then you can coach Caleb

Williams in a year that'd be nice yeah

love that it would be weird though

especially because belich did take the

interview and then for him to take an

interview interview and not get a job

who else it was the Falcons and who no

two interviews with the Falcons yeah two

interviews with the Falcons it'd be

weird if he did those interviews with a

team and then they passed him up which

is what happened I feel like I don't

know maybe he didn't want it I don't

know he probably said this is what I

need and they're like said I don't I

don't give you all that right yeah or

maybe he asked for something to be

changed in their front office and they

said no yeah I'm not going to do that

there's another theory that was posted

in our group chat I don't know if you

guys remember

this but the notion was that the Eagles

would sign Kell Moore to be their

offensive coordinator and they would get

Vic fangio as their defensive

coordinator those two things have

happened since we've gotten this text

message Y and then surprise surprise

belich would swoop in and coach the

Eagles o so you think that would be

Hank's nightmare Max's wet dream so

happy

yeah for the sake of the show I hope

that Vic fjo was a great Higher by the

way yes yeah Vic vanio is great um I'm

optimistic about Kell Moore but I I'm

Vic vanio is a slam dunk yeah with Kell

Moore he was he was pretty good for a

long time and then he went to the

Chargers right yeah I'm gonna chalk that

up to the Chargers it's the Chargers

yeah he got chargers he came down with

like Char a minor case of chargers but

you can bounce back from that it's not

you don't have full-blown Falcons you

have like a small case of the Chargers

right and he is he's an experienced play

caller which is what we needed and

that's that's what we got okay and then

any other and Dave Canalis which we

actually caught on Thursday's show with

Peter Sher he gave us to Dave Canales

shout out to shager he five years in a

row got the Super Bowl crazy people are

like oh well those they were the odds on

favorite [ __ ] that it's hard to pick the

Super Bowl yeah the two teams it's hard

to pick the Super Bowl if you do it if

everyone could do it they would and he

had Chiefs over ners right he had Chiefs

over ners has the Chiefs winning not

even the logo could pick the Super Bowl

correct this year no it was all it's

going to be an all red game oh you want

too much red you want a color stat from

uh Jay Cuda who's who I've shouted him

out a bunch but everyone should be

following him at

jcua every time the 49ers have won the

NFC championship game versus a team that

has a shade of blue in their logo

they've gone on to win the Super Bowl

and anytime they've beaten a non-blue

team in the NFC championship game

they've gone on to lose the Super Bowl

interesting so think about that Cowboys

bears bears Rams Cowboys all those years

they won the the Super Bowl and then

Falcons in 2013 and Packers in 2020 they

lost those Super

Bowls just some just some things to

think about when you're handicapping the

game what did you just say it in 2020

Packers Falcons and Packers Packers yeah

Falcons and Packers just something to

think about Sher by the way he has 3428

Chiefs Trent McDuffy pick six in the

fourth quarter that's not going to be

it's I would be shocked if it's that

high

scoring I think the chief's defense is

good enough to keep and me that's just

how they play they strangle you to death

I would be shocked if it was that what's

the over under 47 and a half that' be

slamming yeah that'd be a fun game I do

like the over though yeah that'd be a

fun game uh okay should we do who's back

of the

week who's back of the week Hank who's

back of the week is college basketball

yes football's winding down time to get

another Sports uh Ed [ __ ] came back to

Providence yes which is probably you

know the best things in sports are a

rivalry games big games and then also

when a fan base just hates someone

that's coming back to their home court

and the Providence fans were as as crazy

as I've ever seen any any college hoops

fan base for anything it was awesome it

was awesome the signs that sign that

just said [ __ ] and said cheats on his

wife and then nothing for o l e y yeah

or nothing for the second o they were

just screaming at him coie brought his

wife and kids to the game and there the

the fans were chaining like where's your

mistress

that it was a wild move to bring your

your wife and kids I bet she probably

insisted on it yeah cuz if it was up to

him he'd be like no please stay at home

it was a great atmosphere though and

they were like I the I think at the dunk

they just serve beer to everyone which

I'm still getting used to that like in

college sports CU for the longest time

you couldn't uh that crowd was Ruckus

yeah Ruckus that mascot for Providence

is a whole lot scarier when it's

cheering against you yeah when it's on

your side you're like okay at least Le

we got this creep going for us which

against that's menacing as [ __ ] yeah uh

and then Butler had one of The alltime

Comebacks yeah that was incredible that

was a great game at hankle two

overtimes I will say since we're talking

college basketball what did you have

something to say no I'm just happy we're

talking about like 11 and seven college

basketball games in [ __ ] January well

that was the biggest storyline it's huge

it was an incredible game geown back of

the week I'm talking about Butler Butler

that's a great comeback yeah it was a

great comeback Big Time program Big Time

program Jake that's fact won two

championships in the last seven years

it's hard to do you'll be happy to learn

this Hank uh because you love to just

Relish in my sadness I am all in on the

Badgers they're good they're going to be

top 10 probably on Monday they're really

good and I'm believing I'm believing in

a miracle March run yeah I know you I

can see even in your eyes right now

you're like yes the pain and the

suffering he just thing about downloads

that's it it's going to be yeah but I'm

I've I'm usually pretty honest about

where my my heart it like in terms of

like do I fully believe because I can

usually emotionally keep myself you know

safe I'm going to be unsafe in March if

they keep playing the way they're

playing I'm going to be emotionally

unsafe yeah I feel like that sounds like

a sweet 16 yeah what if what if they

play Arizona uh what do you mean what if

they play Arizona I mean Arizona beat

the [ __ ] out of them oh I'm sorry Max

what's the last two times that was

wiconsin played Arizona in the [ __ ]

tournament you idiot learn college

basketball we whooped them twice in the

Elite 8 to go to the final four two

completely different teams okay but

that's every Arizona fan heard you say

that and like Max is the dumbest person

ever he doesn't no ball every Arizona

fan is scared of Wisconsin that's a

fact I mean I just that's the only

Wisconsin game I've watched this year I

bet on Wisconsin okay but were two

different teams but you picked the one

team that was dumb to pick but those are

two I'm telling you every [ __ ]

player on those a poll tomorrow Arizona

fans like no I do not want to play

Wisconsin they're not even the same

coaches it doesn't matter Greg guard was

an assistant coach okay yeah it doesn't

matter that was a dumb thing to pick all

I'm saying is that but you you sounded

dumb you sounded like you didn't no no

no you sound dumb no no no you sound no

we'll do a poll tomorrow who sounded

dumb there oh a PO for fans no no it's

Arizona fans what if wasons yeah I would

I would love that all right Arizona fans

although

com Ariz coming off a bad week might I

think you should do you should do two

separate polls one is Arizona fans how

would you feel about this and the other

Wisconsin fans how would you feel about

this it's you're you're so off I can't

wait I can't wait I think neither team

wants to play each other I mean they're

they're a better team right now but

again they something H they were a

better team when Wisconsin played them

in 2014 and 15 I think both fan bases

are scared yeah they have more NBA

players and all that [ __ ] I'm scared I'm

I'm scared to to get my heart broken

again cuz that's going to happen all

right PF year who's back my who's back

was going to be belich um because it

turns out he's behind the scenes also

still talking about other franchises so

um I think this was on an athletic

podcast he said that uh apparently

Bill's been telling coaches that are

thinking about going to the Giants like

don't go there I don't like the way the

organization is run now so he's

influencing other coaches behind the

scenes pulling the strings but since we

already talked about Bill I'll just say

my who's back is LeBron yeah LeBron big

win big win the other day Anthony Davis

every time he falls to the ground I

think that he's dead yep I think that we

just witnessed a death on the court in

basketball and then he just comes back

like two minutes later he's fine that

was we're going to do our big NBA

preview as soon as football ends I

watched that game it was an awesome

awesome regular season game like it w it

had everything LeBron big moments Steph

that crossover he had on ad to take it

into overtime like hitting big shots

Klay hit a big shot that was fun he hits

shots from the corner and I I have no

idea how the shot doesn't get blocked

yeah and then it doesn't touch the rim

it just goes straight in it's crazy it

was that was a very very fun game

Draymond Green's killing people again

yeah yeah Draymond was laughing when

Anthony Davis went down yeah that was

funny um all right so that's actually

similar to my who's back because I

watched that game and it was so

incredible my other who's back is load

management because we were robbed of

Joel embiid playing uh in Denver against

joic MH so uh to be the man you got to

beat the man right 15 minutes before the

game he's like no I don't want to play I

want to duck yeah nuggets again well

he's probably like Philly fans ran me

out of town last year in the playoffs

yeah PA he's ducking him though bball

Paul out playall Paul but do you agree

that embid is ducking joic no I don't

give a [ __ ] like you can't be like oh

regular season don't doesn't matter

regular season doesn't matter regular

season doesn't matter and then he

doesn't play regular season game and go

oh what the heck regular season matters

why is he playing games in the regular

season it would be nice if he rival no

but that's just like if everyone just

likes to pick a narrative for when they

want that narrative well it was rivalry

week I think I think that the kid he

beat the [ __ ] out of describ narratives

I think that the kids that that paid

good money to go see that game and were

deprived of having Joel embiid maybe

their favorite player playing I think

that's disgusting in I want to be

healthy in the playoffs what what

everybody says okay but he did Duck him

sure I don't I don't care he he you

tweeted a lot about it for someone who

doesn't care well that's cuz you just

kept sending things to me no I mean he

he ducked him don't care oh he played

him last week guess the last time that

idas played in Denver oh I don't know

2019 oh wow he likes to play yic at home

and then weird weirdly when they get to

Denver his knee hurts and he doesn't

want to play Ryan Howard has played more

games in Denver uh since like 20 since

forever he retired in that's that rock

great job you really nailed that one out

of the park also worth mentioning uh MB

did not have have the highest individual

point total in the NBA this week oh yeah

Luca scored 73 yeah I so there are too

many high we talk to rillo about this

but there and I know JJ reck has gone on

about it how the offense is really just

the offense is so great you can't tell

me that the rule changes they've made

have not like forced this to just be an

insane like every game is in the 240s

total Wise Guys Are scoring 70 you can't

hold or or like grab anyone you can't

like touch them you can't

it's it's stupid I think they've gone

too far you should be able to touch

people you should be able to touch

people you think 100's going to be

broken probably with these rules I don't

I don't think so these rules are insane

though you tring you literally can't

like you can't touch a guy around the

perimeter but there's Jake it's such a

big difference between 73 points and 100

points if someone really wanted to try

to do it and the whole team was like

let's do this I actually think it could

happen if the if the Warriors did the

ring theory that you saw in Reddit which

is just every other player forms a ring

around Steph Curry and they let him

dribble the ball up forming a screen

Steph Curry could probably do it yeah

but Luca yeah I mean he's he's insane

too I think is B Jordan P could do it he

might have to shoot the ball 600 times P

could do it if you had like 10 overtimes

yeah played every single minute uh okay

Jake finish us off who's back the week

my who's back is talking tennis oh yeah

we had the Australian

Open uh CER

and sabalenka are your Champions big

upset over jokovic which big cat you

said doesn't count because of the time

and it also wasn't that big of an upset

it was like plus 180 for for him losing

it's not that big of an upset wasn't

Joker he was like minus money at the

were yelling at him to they were yelling

him vaccine things it was a hostile

Place well he's banned from the

tournament a few years ago supported

right yeah so he didn't have practice on

that Court yeah it's hard so uh sabil

Lanka she got her revenge on Coco gol

remember that big big semi-final or

championship match at US Open yeah Jimmy

Butler the bers were in Coco's box when

she won it uh and she got her revenge in

Australia this week yeah so first major

in the books H who's the guy Center yeah

Center I like that Italian yeah I like

that yeah he is of course he is what's

what's his deal he's just one of the

upper and comers just an Italian Center

yeah trying to break up the big three um

you guys want that stat that I alluded

to earlier yeah do a blind blind QB poll

real all right so

um the good news is these teams this

against the exact same defense in the

exact same

situations QB won 26 for 39 258 yards

three touchdowns zero turnovers 24

points scored and his defense got two

stops the entire game qb2 20 for 37 326

yards one TD two turnovers 10 points

scored and his defense got seven stops

okay I'm gonna take

qb1 that would be Josh Allen versus

Lamar

Jackson but Josh Allen gets a lot of the

blame yeah I Sav that for the end of the

show so people can't get upset at me

well Lamar's going to deal with his fair

share he is but there was a lot of like

Lamar's better than I like I whatever I

don't want to do the whole thing but I

think Josh Allen's one of the best

quarterbacks in the NFL he just keeps

running into Patrick from M it just

sucks that he's in the AFC yeah it's

like what I'm actually glad if he was in

the NFC he probably would have been to

at least two Super Bowl they should yeah

the AFC needs all the good quarterbacks

please yeah so that was a stat it was

the end of the show so people can't get

mad uh all right um anything else

anything else that was fun that was a

fun Championship Sunday we got to do

narrative Wednesday narrative Wednesday

to add myself uh I want to add myself to
