New Heights with Jason and Travis Kelce - Eagles New Year Struggles, Chiefs Swag Surf Comeback & A Mayo Dunking | Ep 72

Episode Date: January 3, 2024

92%ers we are back with another episode of New Heights sponsored by our friends at Experian.  In this episode, we’ve got the New News about Jason’s new tracksuit (4:40), Travis’ reaction to the “Mayo Dunk” clip all of you tagged us in (15:59), and we probably spend too much time trying to figure out what a Mummer is (08:03).  We also get Jason’s thoughts on the Eagles New Year's Eve stumble against the Cardinals and his thoughts on some of the criticism the team is facing heading into the playoffs (33:59). Travis also breaks down the Chiefs electric comeback against the Bengals and we try and decide once and for all just how Isiah Pacheco runs (50:07).  Finally, we get to everything else that happened in Week 17 including Mike Tomlin’s new record (01:11:30), coin toss controversy (01:27:32), the confusing ending to the Lions/Cowboys game (01:15:24), and why we’d all rather get punched in the face than have a drink thrown on us (01:24:49).  We will be back Friday with a preview of the final regular season Chiefs and Eagles games, we’ll also answer some more not dumb questions, and we have potentially a major change to the bracket challenge that we need your help figuring out.  Make sure you’re subscribed to the New Heights YouTube Channel and wherever you get your podcasts so you don’t miss out and follow us on Instagram, Twitter, and TikTok for all the best moments from the show. . . .

fan mentions, including a Mayo related incident in video that Travis will surely get a kick out of. And we're also going to break down the biggest storylines for around the league as we head into the last week of the regular season. Got to break it down. But first, as always, as always, always as always. New news. New news coming in. All right. New news. Uh, I guess we're starting off this year.

The same way we ended it. We are back to number one on Apple podcasts. Thank you so much to the Kelsey family for getting us back up there. Shout out as always to the 90% of us for tuning in. Always getting a kick out of it or whatever you're. The percentage here. The other ones that we're all also on the top shows. You got the Bible recap, which is number two, Huberman Lab, always up there, Mordel Sin. Don't know what that one is.

Dateline that's self-explanatory. Mel Raman's, okay, that's who Mel Raman's is. All right, crime junkie and smartless. Smartless crime junkie. Okay. All right. Okay. All right. I mean, yeah. What do you think they were talking about on the Bible recap? They got it to number two. That's a good question.

Do you think everybody just kind of really felt really holy going into the new year? Like, oh, this year I'm going to be way closer to my faith. Maybe they have like a really special Christmas episode that's from the biblical times that they come out with. What? Is there something connecting Christmas and the Bible and in the Bible now How many do they talk about Christmas in the Bible? I don't think they talk about Christmas in the Bible Mm-hmm. No, I talk about Jesus. I heard about that guy. I guess he's part of Christmas But it's all it's more about Santa really. It's not about the North Pole. Yeah, it's more about Rudolph buddy Elf. I mean, we should have the Bible recap tell us, but I'm pretty sure Jesus wasn't even born on December 25th. I think that's just kind of a made up thing

And Cut I will say One of my favorite things that we did do ever Christmas, I kind of missed now, was going to church on Christmas Eve. Dude, it was the only time where we could feel like we were a part of a choir. Yeah, it was tremendous. You give the sing along the song? It's like the little sing along, yeah.

And you got all the message I heard. Which one was your favorite one? We three kings from all over the world. It's always the song. Mine was the's always the mind was the other one, mind was a silent. We're leading still proceeding. It's a guy that's to the person. Something like that. Perfect. Like now, I used to love watching

kids. That was a part of giving. That's where the giving thing. Yeah. I'm with you. And the candles, we all got our own candles and I was a little pyro as a kid. That's right, we did get our own candles. I just loved sitting there and looking at the candle. Yeah, get our own candles. Our parents didn't have last.

I opened up the book to the songs. Yeah, it was like a... It was like a... It was like a tradition. Yeah, it was like the... What do they call those things? It's like a field trip. For our family. Yeah, it was fun.

Thanks, mom, for doing that. That needs to. You got to get the girls on it. We're going, we're going. Nice. All right, well, Jason, you got caught in a track suit. A Valor track suit at that. Hey!

Are you now a Valor fan? No. All right. I will say, the top was nice. It was a comfy top. It was clearly a nice material. The pants, I don't, it has a liner in it. I don't like liners.

It's not a fan of liners. It's fair. That's a fair one. What is it about high-end sweats that I feel like they're pretty much the same as low-end sweats they just Start making the drawstring longer. I feel like that's the only thing that happens is like the longer the Dr. String the longer the drawstring the more Yeah, that and the hoodie is typically bigger, like way bigger hoodies. So it looks like it like drapes more.

I did like the top. The top was comfy and it was, it was a, you're saying it like it was like that. It's like the only time you were ever going to wear it and you already gave it away to somebody. I didn't give it to anybody, but I don't think I'll be wearing this that frequently. I just, I don't know. Yeah. All right.

I mean, I appreciate that. It was a good gift. It was a good gift. It was a good gift. It's a good gift. It's a good gift. Nothing makes me happy to see you walking in avalor jumpsuit with Lou Vuitton duffle bag. So,

I'm going to tell you them sandals. Real nice too. I appreciate you, uh, dressing as me addressing as me for New Year's game. Yeah, let's get some fan mentions of the week. Do you want to jump off the first one? Little NFL Mexico on Twitter. Our first fan mentioned comes from an NFL cartoon. The Travis is featured in the NFL Mexico Twitter account,

posted this photo with this caption. Departee de la NFL Mexico, Feliz Agnón Nuevo. I think I nailed the pronunciation of that translation. On behalf of NFL Mexico Happy New Year. All right, let's see where you're at, Travis. Oh, look at that. You have a bunch of lumbarady. Oh, no, kiddies. I thought there was a lumbarady trophies. They must have heard us talking about cats on here. Huh? trofies. They must have heard us talking about cats on here. Huh? Interesting. How about that? What kind of cats are they? Do you know the different like Calico and like Tiger and Lion like that? Well those are cats. Like Cheetah? Yeah, suppose that works too. Nice man. What's cool? Yeah, I like that. Who is a

who is that Jimmy Johnson holding onto a, who is that? Jimmy Johnson holding onto a Steve Young doll? Oh, pinata. A Steve Young pinata. It looks like it'd be a pinata. Is that Steve Young? George Kittle, maybe. George Kittle pinata.

It says 85. Yeah, that's George Kittle. Nice. Nice. George, your Pinyata. And he's got to, oh, yeah, that's like the, what do you call it helmet to? It's like the power ranger helmet him in a Bosa Ware. All right. Well, congratulations on your kiddies. And other related fan mentioned news. There was also an Eagles fan of the game with a sign who clearly listened to the Friday episode.

That's right. Get the cat Jason go birds. Yeah, the cat. The go birds part everyone's listening to this. The go birds part. I said, I don't need anybody to tell me what to do. All right. Other than Kylie.

I thought to say. And for the next one, uh, from at Ali Smeach on Twitter at new heights at the mommer's I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm like clear clear. Oh, bag with white claws in it. Yeah, I don't know if we support white claws more of it. Tequila guy than a malt liquor, but it's the person dressed as Jason has a full beard

going. That is not Jason. It's Zagoff and Aguist. That's a hangover. That's a really a difference. Yes. Don't ever try. I do like that fucking umbrella though.

Damn, that's a good umbrella. That's a mummers umbrella right there. That is not. That's a roulette umbrella. I mean, it is, but this is like in the typical fashion of what mummers breeds. Umbrella looks like. There's like a style of mummers umbrellas. Oh, a style. Oh, okay. So like this is the wavy versus the ornate umbrella that's like not even really an umbrella. It's more just like a accessory item. It's just there. Yeah, it's a little, yeah. It's a very mummer, mummer thing. All right. Well, yeah, sweet, man. Did you, uh, did you, you can check it out at all? I wanted to, but after the game, I didn't necessarily feel that festive. So we opted to not go. Unfortunately, probably watched it on the

news though, right? They got that stuff playing televised and everything. Yeah, you got to do it, right? I was peeping it. Shut out to Philly and everybody having some fun with the Mumbors Parade. I guess we did have somebody in house at the Mumbors Parade, our own brand, and in turn, Brandon was at the Mumbors Parade. Oh, Brandon, do you want to describe to everybody what the mummers parade is like? Yeah, I've brought in the mummers parade. That's from Texas. Can we do a preemptive welcome in Brandon? Do you think this is a good bit, Trev?

He's gonna hype it up. I guess we'll find out. How long does it take to refresh a browse, maybe Brandon. Fuck. Maybe he can't come in. And there he is. Well And there he is. Well, there he is.

Did you just ask him so you know, good bit? Yeah. Yeah. All right, we'll see what happens. Yeah. What do you want? So as somebody from Texas, never having been to a mummer's parade.

Are all these statements true so far? What? What were the statements? Not from Texas. Not from Texas. I've wrote Texas as a nurse. I've, I know I do what a mummer is. I've no idea what a mummer is. I didn't know what it was. What what did you think? It is it is

something as far as New Year's Day celebrations. I don't okay Jason it's what what are they celebrating New Year's Day? Here's what I saw let me just tell you what I let me tell you what I saw. I saw a bunch of men in costumes with umbrellas carrying around different kinds of booze walking down Broad Street having a great time. I'm failing to see where not this is so far. No problems with it so far. I'm okay. This is a good vibe. I saw one of the drunks I've never seen dressed has been Franklin just pounding to the waist to tease. Let's be honest if you're just like Franklin, you want to be drunk, right?

And I wanted to hang out that guy. A thousand percent. I don't know what, what is the, what is a mummer? And what is the point of it, Jason? What is the, like, put me on the spot here? I am. This is your deal. Well, it's not my deal.

It is filled with you. You ended this right? Don't you back out of this shit. Every, every guy there looked like you that would hang out I just a wide mummer you are the mummer stop I look this up a long time ago. I think so mummers go back to like England I believe right and

it was a tradition where I think guys would dress up and women's clothes and go door to door and you would like celebrate with the families of like the other residents. Listen, I don't know. Let's look it up. How about this? How about instead of Jason guessing what the mummers parade is, we just look up what is a mummer? Brand new job, right? Is your job? You're the, you're the searcher. Listen, people are watching me do my job live. You are the searcher It used to be a celebration of a rivalry between the neighborhoods. We still don't have an answer for it. It's like a folk parade celebrating Philadelphia

There you go. Yeah, I think that's that's accurate, but I don't know where it comes from. I guess I was trying to think of like where accurate, but I don't know where it comes from. I guess I was trying to think of like where mummers come from. We're going to get a lot of comments, correcting everything about what we just said. Who needs a search bar when we can just ask the 92% us? Yeah, just leave us a comment what a mummer is. Yeah, I think I botched what a mummer is pretty significantly, but we'll clean it up. I'll cut it. I'll cut it. Yeah, I mean, I think the, I think the, I think the gist of it is just a celebration of a Philadelphia cultures heritage and most importantly, uh, drinking. Until someone describes to me, what exactly a mummer is when I get out here where it came from and how it has significance to Philadelphia. This is just a bunch of shit on New Year's that they are trying to do to like, accelerate the New Year. The mummers drives their name from the

mummers play that was performed just like, oh, the New year, what should we do? That's what if you put on a dress and got drunk in the street, I'm reading it from performed in Philadelphia in the 18th century as part of a wide variety of working-class street celebrations around Christmas. By the early 19th century, this coalesced with earlier Swedish costumes, including the Christmas neighbor visits. The Swedish. That's what I was talking about. There would go boom, boom, you go to your neighbors and possibly shooting firearms on New Year's Day. Well, this was coming out of the countries as well. Did not get to do that. The Pennsylvania German custom of bell-snicking, where adults in disguise question children about their behavior during the previous year.

All right. Well, we're getting somewhere. We're not getting anywhere. Carrying on the official custom of New Year's Day calls during the seven years of occupied president. Nobody ever gets anywhere describing what this is and why. I've been asking about it for years. Everybody I meet in Philadelphia, I ask about it and it's just like it's just what we do on New Year's. You know, it's

the parade. All this is to lead into the child that was dressed like me at the game, which was pretty cool to see. Yeah. And they let them on the field. They let the little kid on the field. Did you see him, Brandon? I saw that kid, yeah. Kid had a big crowd around him. Kid, people were really into that kid. He's got a great beard. The other one was Zach Elvenack, is that's Jason. That is Jason.

This is like my mini-me. You were warming up and people were trying to flag you over there, but you were locked in to doing, what, looked like Waldrills. You're doing a little Waldrills. Waldrills. You were on the goal post, like you warm up like a bear scratching their back.

Oh, no, I was just trying to loosen the hips up. Yeah. Cool kid right there, man. Well done. That was a great outfit. He nailed it. His beard's even better than mine. That's how you dress as Jason Kelsey on a Eagles game.

Pretty solid. Travel, we gotta get you out to a a members day parade one of these days. Maybe. Maybe I might just keep, you know, doing the New Year's Day in Kansas City. Those are pretty freaking fun. Okay, look like your head's fun. I always have some fun. Would you dress up or would you rather just go and participate? I mean, until someone can explain what, what, what this is for? It's whatever you want. It's just a celebration. Exactly. That was

all right. The same reason every other culture has new year's day celebrations. There's not dragons in Asia, but they still have dragons all over the place on New Year's Day celebrations. Yeah. Well, if you look at the history, there might have been dragons. When it all started. All right. This last fan mentioned is something that a lot of concern 92% reach out to us about Duke's Mayo Bowl between West Virginia and North Carolina was played last week. And of course, when the 92% saw Mayo all over their TVs,

they immediately think of Travis from Mama Bear, Swiftie on Twitter. Wondering if T. Kelsey and J. Kelsey are watching the Mayo Bowl and if Travis will survive watching the Mayo dunk after the game. Let's go mountain years So I was not watching the game. I didn't even know that there was a dukes, Mayo bowl I didn't even know that was a dukes I'm not even heard of dukes mayonnaise in general. They just they've all they've been whipping that shit up for years I had a traffic you seen this video of this coach being dumped to mayonnaise?

I have not, and I really don't want to see it because I see this picture and I can already see that yellow fucking goo coming out of that fucking bucket. God damn it. Oh my God. Oh my God. Oh, that's not a thick mail.

That's not a thick mail. That's fake mail. So that's what I said, the viscosity of this is way too, that's watered down, mate. With Jason said, yeah, that's fake male. So that's what I said, the viscosity of this is way too, that's watered down male. With Jason said, yeah, that's not it. Right. That's not is,

I don't need, we don't need to revisit that sound. Real mayonnaise would have been way grosser. It's yellow paint. That's not male. Yellow paint. You might be right. They knew, they knew that they couldn't fucking dump male on somebody because they would probably throw up.

So you don't even think this is watered down mayo. So you don't even think this is watered down mayo. You think this is a substance that doesn't have any mayonnaise in it. Correct. Is that our conspiracy? Yep. I think I'm kind of tend to agree. I think mayonnaise is a way different consistency than that. Have you ever seen a tub full of mayonnaise like that though. I have full seen a tub full of mayonnaise. Still. Oh my god. It's fucking put it right on my cheese steak, please.

To get on your cheese steak. It's a very controversial people in Philadelphia. I'm really losing points with Philadelphia right now, not knowing exactly what a mummer is and also Saying that I put mayonnaise on my cheesesteak, but yeah, well dukes male bowl I call BS that was not real mayonnaise. I'm with you Disgusting if it was real mayonnaise, so I kind of respect it and Thirdly how the fuck do you guys get a big bowl game blowing my mind? And thirdly, how the fuck do you guys get a big bowl game blowing my mind? And does like there whoever wins gets like free mail for the entire year? Well, the one guy in the corner, he's holding a check. Hey, I don't know how much it's for.

It's hard to make out. Nice. You can they can just use it as a, as like a food stamp to get more mail. It says $10,000. It's just $10,000. Nice. At $10,000. But I don't know what it's for. I don't know what's going on to be honest with you. I mean either shut up the the mountain was Fox. It was Fox mayonnaise. Four mayonnaise.

Yep. We got to get to the bottom of what that really is. And that's the bottom line. You want to hit the no dumb questions? Moving on, it's now time to answer some no dumb questions because there's no such thing as dumb people. Just what dumb questions. No, no questions is brought to you by our friends at Buffalo loud wings

Let's go sports bar From soccer mom to 37 on club 92 When do NFL players get their profile pictures and videos taken of them that the TV broadcast show When they are giving stats or take or talking about the players They make you guys do some pretty dramatic shots. They do they do this is my least favorite day the TV broadcast show when they're giving stats or talking about the players, they make you guys do some pretty dramatic shots. They do. They do. This is my least favorite day of the year, which is. Producing day. Yeah. It is really annoying. You have to get dressed up in all of your equipment

to go do a bunch of pictures that you don't want to do. Well, some guys like doing it, I guess, but I can't stand it. And they usually try and do something in there. Like one year we had like a boxing ring there and guys are like boxing. Like guys, what the fuck are we doing? Just take your goddamn pictures and get, what do we, what's happening right now? They're trying to make it fun, man. This last year they had like a whole house built and like you would go in there. That's all dudes are just so over the shit. I was so I was so over it for I think for like eight years, they use the exact same Monday night. I can't. I can't. They use the exact same Monday night face of me because I kept refusing to go in there.

And I wasn't a view of you. And like, I said, like, long hair. Yeah. I said, long hair, there was a sandhat for a while, but they talked me into doing it last year, largely because they agreed to help me out the documentary. I was making it and they're like, Jason, we need to do media day if you're going to get any of the footage. If we're going to play ball with you, that is blackmail is what that is. That's bullshit. I know, it's

it really is like, they didn't straight up say that. So I couldn't like charge him with a crime, but it was it was implied. It was implied. Scratch your back. You scratch mine. Yeah, I cannot stand media day. Can you stand in here and look at the camera? I'll see reason and put the ball and bring the ball back.

Keep it the ball like this. I did a media shoot for the black jerseys and it was a photo shoot and then they released the photos and I looked terrible I just know that the photographers are phenomenal. There's nothing they were gonna be able to do To make up for what these photos are gonna look like But that was the last one. I'm like guys. I'm not I can't do this anymore. I Can't pretend like I care about this nonsense. Those of you that don't know, media day, it's everything will stay closed. Every single station.

Monday night. So that's ESPN comes in for Monday night. NBC comes in for Sunday night football. I believe Fox also comes in and maybe even CBS. But everybody comes in and gets like their shot or what they do for for the intros or for when they're highlighting a player and you see all those graphics and stuff. Typically, it teams try and knock it out sometime before the season, like in the off season.

And yeah, it's not the most fun thing for everybody. Some guys get into it and some guys have a good time when you're young I feel like you're you're super into it say all nice is sweet. Yeah, it's cool. I'm gonna be but then what you get older like this is All I want to do is sit in my locker not do anything for 30 minutes And I gotta put on a bunch of uncomfortable pads and equipment take a walk to an indoor facility and take a bunch of pictures Is your algorithm? Say does your indoor have AC? It does. Yeah. Dude, our indoor doesn't have AC and it's all we always do it in fucking June. You're just sweating. And you're just sweating. No, it's serious though. You're just sweating your tail off for like the next like hour and a half,

trying to knock out all these stations. Yeah, we used to not have AC or either they just didn't turn it on for signing day. And it was the same thing on signing day, you'd be like under thousand autograph for the team, just drenched and switched. Ironic, this is coming from soccer mom. I remember all the soccer moms probably have all the pins and the pictures for, so she was just probably wondering, you know, have you ever been a fan? Where would mama Kelskid picture day stuff, huh? Have you ever been a fan of picture day? No. It's always like, what are we doing? I do like looking at the old pictures.

What? Like we're going to the old team photos and looking at like what guys used to look like in like the 1950s. And you're like, I'm with that in the hall. Yeah. So maybe it'll be cool in like 40 years, but right now I look at all of them. I'm like, this is a waste of time. I do not look forward to the day. I just want a place of football, man. That's all I'm here for, man.

Yeah. Yeah, so that's what happens. And that's how you get your TV broadcasts, individual shots, and graphics. Thanks, soccer mom, 237. And moving on to from Uber Reese at also on Club 92, my wife is pregnant without,

oh, with our first child. What do I need to include in my Jason approved hospital go bag? I'll take this one. It is for you. Okay, what do you need? What, first of all, you have to make sure you have a fan because you can get really hot and uncomfortable in there. If you like fans, we can just sleep, make sure you bring a fan.

There you go. If you have a pillow that you like, I would take that. I think it's really important and I'm being dead serious to bring some type of bars, whether it's an energy bar, chocolate bar, because what happens is a lot of guys pass out. Yeah, we talked about this, yeah. Yeah, it's really important right when your wife starts going to the labor,

to eat a bar to get your blood sugar back up, because you don't wanna be passing out in the most important part of what you're there for. You want to be able to, you want to be there to witness and offer support for your wife. And then of course you need to bring something that you can do because it's going to be a lot of sitting around and you don't really have anything to do with the dad. So, you know, take a book, you can bring a game. I don't know. Anything that you can do. Download some good games on your phone. Just download some good games on your phone.

It's a good option. Always a good option. But other than that, you're going to be, you're going to be getting up and getting water. You're going to, I mean, listen, you're, you're the role player for the day. Your, your job is to assist your wife. Make sure she's comfortable. Make sure she's happy. And then outside of that, there's not much else for you to do.

There you go. That's it. You got your to go bag. Get you some bagels. Get you some bagels. Well, you just order the bagels. Yeah. Get you some bagels.

You can bring them if you want. Yeah. Get you some accelerator. Get you some thermo genics. I mean, that might not be a bad thing with the power bar, just power bar, wash it down with some accelerator and you'll be, you'll be really passing out then. Yeah, you pass out on that. Why do we? All right, well, there goes you to go bag.

Are you looking at me like that? I don't know if Kylie approved of my last answer. She didn't? Did I not do a good job with that answer, Kai? She's just laughing. What are you doing? Eve's dropping. No, I have water for you.

One time. Out of the three proteins. Well, the first time I wasn't allowed to leave the room. We were in cold. Jason, can I? Gosh, can you give me some water? Jason just starts buzzing the nurse. The first time I was technically not allowed to leave the room. Second time, second time I was not allowed to leave the room. Go, but under strict protocols.

From at its okay G on a club 92, did you guys collect sports cards growing up? Of course, we did. Who did you collect? Are you still into the hobby? Yes, of course we collect the sports cards. I think all kids that love sports find a way to get into the cards and I don't think we had. I wouldn't call us collectors. We did. I love going to I love to go into stores and ask my dad if I can buy or if we can grab like a pack of cards and open them and see who they are. I never had any good ones though. We never practice the habits of collectors. I didn't have any rookie cards. I didn't have any like, we would get all the like, the plastic binder holders so that the cards

would get ruined. And then we take them right out of that. Take them right out of it. I think we got a whole box of NFL cards of one of the seasons. And they, and I think it was George, and I think the woodware gave us those for Christmas one year. I believe it.

And I remember them saying like, guys, don't open them. All right, PG. The box will be so much more valuable if you don't open them. And we lasted like two days and then we opened all of them. You're like, yeah, yeah, but what's in them? I was in here, all Barry Sanders, all that's cool. I just remember playing games with them. I would design games with the cards.

Like one of the games I know that I used to do is I put a hat in like a specific part of the room and I would try and throw the cards from my bed into the hat and it was like a tournament but the cards were actual players in the tournament so like there was Omar Viscale and Albert Bell. Oh yeah. Yeah. Tim couch. All those guys were in the game. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no were competitors, even though I was the one flicking the cards and whoever won, was the champion.

The genius game. It's a genius. I want to go play that game just to see who wins. It was a fun, it was a good one. As a kid, I loved it. Yeah, you were just like gambit. You were just, that's right. All right, well, sweet.

Yeah, and do you collect cards now? I have a couple cards. I actually wouldn't mind getting into it. I do like older cards. Like there's something nostalgic about having a couple cards. I actually wouldn't mind getting into it. I do like older cards. Like there's something nostalgic about having a playing card. I think it's pretty cool. 100% yeah. And I do have technically a bunch of boxes that there might be a Tom Brady rookie in there that we're still waiting open. Maybe we'll do that for the 92%ers one day because I think to be pretty awesome. But uh, I think I brought this up before our white elephant.

Somebody brought in a Dr. J signed basketball card and I thought that was pretty cool, like... Dr. J? I don't know, I can see myself getting into it. What about you? Yeah, I like all the vintage stuff. Anything vintage I'm here for. I like a vintage clothes, vintage memorabilia.

Would you ever collect current players? Or would you only go with... I would probably only go with these guys that I enjoyed watching growing up. Right? I think there's something about, I think it's a pretty smart investment to invest in dead guys because they're not making anymore stuff.

Everybody's a dead guy walking. Well, yeah, but I mean, they're not dead yet. So they could come out with like a whole new string of signatures and cards. So what you're saying is get a rookie card and never mind. Get him to sign it and make sure it's the only one in circulation. Yes, exactly what I'm saying. All right, be looking over my shoulder. All right, we're joking. We're joking. Hey, just joking about murder. And that was no dumb quest.

Cardinals 35, Eagles 31 on New Year's day. New Year's Eve day. Excuse me. Yeah, man. That was a tough one big guy. That was a tough one, especially late in the season and being up at half and what are your initial thoughts on it though. Well, yeah, I mean, we blew essentially home fieldfueled advantage, at least for part of the playoffs, if not all of it. So yeah, it's a very frustrating game. And we're just not playing good enough right now. Yeah. It's all there is to say, to lose a game like that late in the season stays.

It does. So, but all you can do is just go back and work, man, I still, I'm going to keep saying this because I believe it. We have great players in the building. We have great coaches and all you can do is just keep going to work, man. Keep looking at things objectively, looking at things that you can do to improve your gameplay

and to assist others. And I think that ain't like guys aren't trying. Do's are trying, people are trying to get this corrected. You know, I think it's just, it was a frustrating day to say the least. All right. Well, let's kind of start with this post game quote from Sidney Brown.

He's in quotes saying, fuck, we just lost to the worst team in the NFL. Says confidence is still there. If we play to our capabilities, we can beat the shit out of anyone. Right. Nice. That's the confidence you need. Yeah, the Cardinals are not good this year. I think that's a, they beat some teams, though, man. You can't they beat Dallas. We also they do. Yeah. Yes, only other routine they beat. I forget who else it was.

Maybe a Pittsburgh is a Pittsburgh loss there. We've talked about it before. It's the NFL. No matter how bad a team is or how bad their record has been, it's any given Sunday. And you know what? They showed up and they played, man. They freaking Connor and the run game,

they were running the ball. I mean, absolutely, dominantly. I mean, it's just the way it is. And it's something that was frustrating to watch or frustrating to be a part of offensively, you know, when the team's running the ball well, you only get so many opportunities. And you got to maximize them. And we didn't maximize all of the opportunities we got. You know, I think we got out to an enormously to start off, you know, start out 21 to 6 in the first half. And, you know, regardless of what's happening on the defensive side, that should be enough of a cushion. And offensively, we should be able to see the other game out. So, you know,

really, really frustrating day, obviously, but I agree with Sydney. Obviously, a team that you don't want to lose to, not that you want to lose to any team, but in this league, you play anybody they can beat you, especially if you don't take care of business, you don't fit everything right or whatever the case may be. All it takes is one guy to be out of place, man. All of a sudden you got a huge play left and right. And those are momentum grabbers, man.

Yeah. You got to be able to weather the storm. Like you said, the first half, you guys were up 20 or 21 to six. Um, a huge, even though you guys were up 21 six and were the carnivores were dominating the time of possession throughout the entire first half. Like you said, like you said, the 20 plays going so that's crazy. And we and we received the ball. Now part of that is because our defense gave up a big drive. I got a pick six, Sydney Brown had a pick six, 99 yards. But yeah, there were two big drives where they were running the ball, taking

up clock. So even in the present, the half that we received the ball, we only had 20 positions, which is crazy. There's a weird game. It really was. Well, Julio Jones caught both the first half touchdowns for the offense. And like you said, Sydney Brown had that early in the second quarter. Pick six, first interception took it to the house, man. Shout out to Sydney for that one. It was an impressive run. He was flying. I didn't realize I'd do a good for all like that. Dude, he's got a future, man. He plays with a lot of aggression flies into the box hits, uh, really, really like watches any play. Yeah. I'm with you, man. I, um, I respect it going up against them.

Well, they brought it back and tied it in the second half, 21, 21 and eventually, uh, get the game winning TD with 32 seconds left to play. Um, Cardinal scored touchdowns on all four of their second half possessions and the Eagles offense was outscored by 19 points in the second half. Was this a case of them coming out with different looks in the second half or how'd you kind of feel as an offense?

I can't speak for offensively, but the reason it changed so quickly is because they received the ball coming out of half time,. And we got a possession, got a zero blitz, Jalen delivered a great ball that Devati just couldn't quite come down with before we knew it was 21-21. You know, I mean, I mean, it happened. We get a few good breaks and you run the ball well and limit the other team's possessions, man. It can feel like you get dominated, but in reality, it's just limiting the time for you guys as an offense to go to work. And we did get dominated. I'm not trying to take the car knows, I mean, dude, they were running the ball hard.

They were doing a lot of counter pin and pull, double pullers. You know, they were, you got to give them credit, man, they played hard. It's especially offensively. They were, they were getting after it. Coach Cieriani talked about the fourth quarter and the second half, struggles and addressed it with the media by saying, I like the calls, but maybe I could have been more aggressive there. Yeah. That's just me being honest. So a little bit of scrutiny on the series of plays in the fourth

quarter. And Cieriani always, he always steps into the play, man. I've never seen that guy ever throw anybody under the bus or point of finger. He knows how to do it right. And that's the sign of a great leader, man. And that drive ended up resulting in a field goal instead of going for it. And I think that's what he's he's talking about. But anybody can play mine in morning. That drive, we ended up ran inside zone in the first play

of That series get a holding call so now we're first in 20 love that yeah, perfect Start and there's nothing I'm not blame like Jordan the way of bounced out front side Jordan is not ready for the ball to go out there It sucks. It's just a circumstance sometimes of the way when an inside zone bounces front side, I've seen it happen so many times of an offensive lineman who thinks he's pushing the guy exactly where he wants him to go.

And then all of a sudden, he's reaching out to make a tackle. You're not trying to hold him. It's just kind of the way the play unfolds just happens sometimes. That puts us behind the sticks at first and 20. We come out quarterback run and first down, which I was excited to run that play. We had it ran earlier, had some success, run it again. Don't execute the same way and only get four yards on it. I think when you run the quarterback

run, you're looking for a bigger hit play because you know everyone's going to be a conifer. There's never going to be a safety down who is unblocked. It's one of those that you get the numbers no matter what. And we just didn't execute it the same way we did earlier. And we had a couple misblocks and only get four yards on it. Yeah. Come right back. And this is where I think. Siriani saying he and hindsight maybe could have been more aggressive. But we call a play that's usually one of our better plays which is another It's really a quarterback reading play. He can either hand it to the running back Going out the backside or keep it on the counter play the old RPO. They hit us with a zero blitz Double a gap blitz one the safety going to one a gap the backer was going to blitz and the other a gap

You know, we just the safety got through and it's, the backer was going to blitz and the other A gap, you know, we just, the safety got through. And it's one of those where, if it works, right? If everything gaps down and that safety gets blocked, it could have been a huge play. Now, a lot of kutups, right? It's not. It's a negative four yard run. We're back to third and 20. And in that, that point, I thinkiri Anis probably thinking is, you know, this, we got to throw the ball to try and convert this, but we also want to make sure that it's not a key to the classroom. We're not leaving them a bunch of time left. We force either another time out, uh, two minute, whatever, spits out a wide receiver screen.

It's one of those things that I think a lot of coaches do in those situations. It's a very situational play, unfortunately. Yeah. And you guys don't do it all the time if you could put in that situation, but. We go to those a lot when it's situations that are a, let's throw a prayer out. It guarantees a little bit of yardage, I guess. So you're not risking a sack. It's probably a completion.

So the clock is still going to be moving and you're still in a good position to kick a field going for it down. And then if it pops, you're looking at probably picking it up. That's why I think it's called as like it, this could be an explosive. We could get it, but it's also a pretty safe conservative play. Anyways, yeah, I mean, I think in hindsight, you know, Nick probably wishes he would have been more aggressive, especially with how things unfolded. We were also really aggressive earlier in the year against Washington, end up throwing a sluggo in a four-minute situation and we went up because we scored on it, right? But we scored too soon.

And then all of a sudden, that gave the ball back to Washington. So I wonder if that's playing into a set as well. It's like, listen, we also, we wanna be aggressive here. We wanna get a first down, but we also don't want to give the ball back to Arizona with too much time left on the clock. So either way, it didn't work. It's tough, man. Yeah, it's tough. You know, I think that hindsight's obviously always

2020 looking back on it. The runs didn't work. So, you know, you wish you would have done something more to be able to retain possession and not give the ball back to Arizona, especially with I think how the game was unfolding. You know, we knew offensively that that was a big drive for us. And I thought it was really smart and potentially overshadowed. And, you know, Jonathan Ganon went for an onsite kick right after they scored. He knew we go on-side kick. We're conceding essentially three points, probably, to Philly. But we're also, if we can get a stop, guaranteeing we're gonna get another possession.

Whereas if they were to kick off, now all of a sudden, you run the risk of us being able to bleed out everything easier. Does that make sense? Yeah, 100%. Longer field, more feel to drive on. So that's more time on the clock. You shorten the field. You essentially give up three and hope that you get a big player turnover or something. Yeah. And you get the ball back quicker.

Yeah. Fresher. You guys are still in a good seat, man. You guys just got to get that Philly dog mentality back. Jalen was post game saying it was another learning opportunity for us. We still have everything in front of us to do what we want to do. We still got to clean things up. There's still a sense of urgency to do that. And it's all hands on deck to do so. This is what I keep coming back to. And listen, I know, you know, fans are frustrated.

We're frustrated. It's, you know, I think everybody's pissed off after the game. If we're being quite honest, this is a game that we knew has had major implications. Yeah. You know, it's probably going to turn into our last game at the link for the season, which is frustrating. It's tough. Hey, man, it's over.

All you can do is move forward and try and get things corrected. Look at the things you're doing well. This is what I look at. I think Jamin played really, really well. And if the quarterbacks plan at a high level, uh, it takes care of a lot of things. Right. And defensively, I know there's been,

there's been some bad games. There's been, you know, coordinating changes. I, I see all that. But at the end of the day, I still think we got good players over there. 1,000 percent. And I know it ain't, it's not working right now. But that doesn't mean it can't get better. It doesn't mean it can't get fixed. And the only thing you can do as teammates, as players, as coaches is keep coming into the building with energy to work and get better. Keep trying to figure it out.

Hell yeah. That's the only option we got. And that's a pretty good option. If you look at the guys you guys got, fuck. And I personally believe that we got people in there to get this done, to make these corrections and to play at a higher level. I know it's not happening right now.

I get that and it's beyond infuriating when it's not clicking. And it tests you as a team. It tests you as a player. It tests you as a coach. But man, I still love the other guys in that building. And I look forward to continually working with them to go out there and try and write this thing. Well, circle the wagons, brother.

It's, uh, it's go time, baby. Playoffs are here. You're talking about how Jaylin played great and how he's playing really good right now. And that leads us to our LeBron stat of the game. Uh, Jaylin hurts set the franchise record for the most touchdowns in a single season with 38 combined rushing and passing. This is not a fucking LeBron stat. This is a

legit. The guy just literally set this. How damn it. We're going in reverse. Let's get to my game. Fuck. All right, Matt. It's time to shout out our next sponsor. We got Buffalo Wild Wings.

25 17. The bangles on New Year's Eve. There's so much that goes into this and there's so much emotion clearly built up between you two in the way these games have unfolded and what's been at stake between the Chiefs and the bangles over the last four or five years. What are your initial thoughts, man?

Man, I'll tell you what, man, that was a fun game to be a part of. It's probably the first game I've had in a while where the energy felt right on the sideline, the the excitement for everybody's success, not just out there trying to do your job. And guys were making plays. Guys were comfortable out there. We we had a really good week of preparation, especially on the offensive side or just speaking of the offensive side, knowing that our defense played their asses off again. But offensively, it felt like we caught a rhythm there and it all kind of started with that offensive line.

I mean, those five guys came together and made a statement that we were gonna control the line of scrimmage. And sure enough, I mean, Isaiah Patechek owe 100 plus yards after with a touchdown, guys, the wider severs getting in, getting dirty, getting inside the, inside the hashes and getting some big blocks. It was just, it was a fun game to be a part of, because everybody just kind of rallied together to prove to ourselves that we can do this with

the guys that we got in this locker room. And sure enough, we didn't put up as many touchdowns as we wanted to, but we were moving the ball. And we had our safety net hairs in Bucker just dialed in for six out of six field goals. It was just it was all around fun game. And the atmosphere was great on New Year's, New Year's Eve. A lot of cheese fans excited for this one. Knowing that the bangles have talked a lot in the past. Also knowing that they're not the same team right now, due to some injuries and obviously they're short back.

Joey Burrow, not being out there, but I always have nothing but respect for them. And they know that after the game, it was cool to kind of catch up with a few guys. Didn't get to see my guy Orlando Brown, man. I miss you. Big guy. I love you. He's forever going to be one of my favorite teammates. But yeah, it was it was a it was a fun day, man. Well, you guys officially clinched the AFC West with this win against the Bengals. Their eighth consecutive division title. That is crazy. You're also locked into the three seed for the playoffs. So we'll see what you guys end up doing this week. It's also the chief's ninth consecutive 10 plus win season and ninth consecutive playoff birth.

Man, that's a dominating decade of football for the kids of city chiefs. How's having mom there for that game? Huh? Pretty good. It was fine. Yeah. And then we all got to celebrate you together. Yeah, it was it was cool, man, to have all the friends and family. I think I had over 50 to 55 people come in for this one. Oh, there you go. Yeah, a good new year celebration with all the friends of fam. That's a lot. And I got the exchange presence with Mama Kels. I can't tell you what I got because some things are still being made for you. That's one of the gifts. And it's awesome. You're gonna fucking love this. So you found out that I don't that I'm not into Valor so you decide to get me another gift now? No, mom did. Oh mom's getting it. Yes, it's it's the same gift that she got me but it's just getting made. And you're gonna love this fucking thing. This is I mean it's it's the same gift that she got me, but it's just getting made and you're going to love this fucking thing

This is I mean it's one of the coolest gifts you got and we'll talk about it if you ever actually get it But yeah, it was cool to have mom and town for the Catch up on a little Christmas and for the new year bring the new year and with her Well, let's talk about the first half you guys find yourselves trailing little come from behind victory in the second half. The only touchdown of the game was an eight yard receiving touchdown for Isaiah Pacheco. In the first quarter, down 17 13, uh, you know, what was the message at halftime from Andy? Just stay stay on track. I think we all knew that uh, that we were we kind of had the momentum or at least we felt like we had the momentum going into half. Kind of caught a stride on defense and then on top of that offensively,

we realized that we were able to control the line of scrimmage and that hand in the ball off was was a hell of a play for us. So I think we kind of we kept doing that a little bit more hell of a play for us. So I think we kind of we kept doing that a little bit more. And we caught the the bangles and man covers on a few second and third downs and had some huge plays by our by our whiteouts and Pat my homes putting that thing on the money man. There you go. You guys came out of half time, not getting the end zone, but putting points up right away on the first two drives, two more fuel goals to go up 1917 in the third quarter. And the field goes continued accounting for all of your second and point six for six main kicks, Bucker kicks six

field goals. That's a lot of field goals. Yeah. Chief total 25 points after he connected on two more field goals. Longest of the night was 54 yards. Yeah, it's a big one. Pretty good. There you go. The bed. It's pretty big one, especially when you got a little wind in in late December, man. Was it in his face? Are you saying right now that the wind was in his face? No, I think wind in any direction is always the wind assist thing is always easier. Push that sucker in there. It's a good point. What were the bangles doing that was kind of struggling you guys in the red zone a little bit a lot of teams are really playing this red That's this goal line style defense once you get inside the 15 where it's basically keep it all in front of you

Don't give up a touchdown hold it and when teams are doing that you got to be able to run the ball You have the safeties and DBs are playing on the goal line kind of sitting there waiting on On everything and passing passing guys off in zones. And it's prime, prime position to be able to run the ball. And I think when we, when we really started to get going, we got the ball down, I think the 10 and the five on almost all of those drives, I feel like the 54 yarder obviously being the, the exception there. But neither to say we got to be able to punch that thing and no matter what defense they're running find ways to put up seven points man because that's

Against a better offense or against an offense that's clicking a little bit more on over over the course of the game Those point those field goes turning into touchdowns. I mean those are daggers Absolute daggers, and I feel like teams I mean, those are daggers, absolute daggers. And I feel like teams across the league have gone to this shift from like the 10, from like the 12 yard line in, they've been playing that type of covers like zero. It's basically goal on defense, like you're saying, from a coverage perspective. Yeah. Yeah, man, it's been successful.

It's really stalled a lot of people out in those areas of the field. Mm-hmm. And I feel, is that new this year? Is that just me or is that, it feels like teams used to go to that and like the six was like when it used to kind of really kick in. It feels like it's moved out a little bit further now. Is that accurate? 10 to 5. I think you're somewhere in there. Yeah. Yeah. I wouldn't know what it is though. But yeah. Yeah, I don't know what the exact I'm kind of throwing out. Areas of the field where it felt like that would start to kick in. I wouldn't know what it is though. But yeah. Yeah, I don't know what the exact I'm kind of throwing out areas of the feel where it felt like that would start to kick in. I don't know if that holds up from an analytical perspective, but um, it definitely feels like it's moved

further out than it used to. Yeah. 100%. As A. Patechekko was listed as questionable to play in this game after leaving last game with an injury, but of course, you know, it's going to be hard to keep this guy out. Can't keep him out to feel, man. It will pop. It comes back in a big way this week. Pacheco finished with 130 yards on 18 carries. That's a pretty darn good time of day.

Low poppy from Jerzy Sun. Also had several receptions for 35 yards. That's a one over the 150 mark total. Oh yeah, baby. But check out back in the line up was running the ball a big part of the game plan this week. I think I mean, it always is. Every game plan.

Every game plan is when you got a guy that runs like that or really just a backfield that can run like that. Knowing that we didn't have a client Edwards, my dog, Clyde Goodbro the Clyde. He wasn't out there this weekend, but hopefully we get him back this weekend, having strong for the playoffs. And then when you got Isaiah running the ball like this, and I think the offensive line wanted to make a statement. Sure. And really just the collective group of everybody, we wanted to make a statement to come

out B physical, play with energy, and be on the attack physical play with energy and be on the attack. And what way to be on the attack better than running right at you. Well, yeah, I think it was a big part of the game plan. There are a lot of people notice in your Pacheco run. I've said it on the show and it was all over Twitter. Everybody noticed about how how mad Pacheco runs. Angry runs, baby. He's an angry runner, man, fighting the ground.

Let's take a look at some of these comments from Twitter. Cowboys corner, cornerback Jordan Lewis tweeted Pichekko runs like he bite people. That's pretty good. Like he bite. He's a bider. I feel like if Mike Tyson was a running back, he would run like a damn Pichekko. That's a good one. I was thinking the other. I was thinking the other one, the

uh, he's the other one. Sure. When nature calls. He didn't. Who is it? It's the, uh, in the, in the, in the trouble, is it some Martin? Maybe I forget his name, but he jumps out of like a back. Yeah. yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, that's all the checko runs. Trill withers on Twitter said, Pacheco runs like a little kid testing out new shoes in the store. I can see that trying to see what the grip feels like.

You're really stomping them in to see what. Yeah, I think that's pretty accurate. That's pretty good NFL Memes tweeted Pacheco runs like a damn cartoon character I mean, yeah, he's got a little Tasmanian devil in his in his steps, you know, he does he's got that he's got Taz energy for sure Brett Adkinson Pacheco runs like Super Mario when the mystery box gives him a star I don't see that I don't see that. I don't see that. I see Mario. Mario was more smooth. Yeah, but that's more daring. Sproles to me. I think he's more. He's more, he's more, he's more, he's more Sonic than he's Super Mario. I got Sonic. He like kind of gets going and then it takes off.

You know what I mean? Yeah. I think that's more accurate if we're going across the field. He gets a few goals. All right now. And from Jake and Ball on Twitter, I can't find the tweet, but the guy who said Isaiah Pateco runs like the kid who wasn't allowed to have sugar. It's sleepovers was spot on. What's the most accurate way to describe Isaiah Pateco's running style? I still think it's fighting with the ground. It's like he's having a 15 round boxing match with the ground. Tasmania Devils sums it up for me. Rookie Rishi Rice also had another huge game with 127 yards on five receptions. Yeah. Big dog. That's a good little average. It's a good little average. Philly zone Philly. Don't. He and Pat also

connected on the chief's longest play of the entire season, a 67 yard pass at the end of the third quarter. Oh, yeah, rice only needs 58 more yards to set the franchise rookie receiving record. So I hope you guys don't rest them this next week. We'll see what happens. Should Rashid be getting more offensive rookie of the year consideration? I think right now, I don't really give a shit about a rookie of the year.

I'm not sure. I'm sure Rashid had it as one of his like goals in his career, 100%. It was one of my goals. And then I didn't play my rookie here. But he's having a hell of a year, man. I don't care if anybody gives him any consideration for it. Right now he's playing his best ball and we're going into late December, early January,

now January. And that's when you want to be playing your best football, man. He's playing confident, attacking the ball when it's in the air. When he catches the ball, he knows where to go with it immediately, which means he's seeing the field very well. And when you put a lot of guys like that around Pat Mahomes all of a sudden things start clicking a little bit more and we start moving the ball real well. And so I'm just I'm excited that he's getting a lot more comfortable out there and he's playing the way that we all know that he can. Yeah it's interesting because with most rookies you see

around this time of the year, the stats start to go the other way. They start to tail off and hit the rookie wall, but it appears that Rishi is playing his best ball right now, which is huge for the Kansas City Chiefs. Rishi does, if I didn't tell me if I'm wrong on this. I'm pretty sure Rishi leads the league, not just rookies. He leads the league in yards after catch. So when he catches the ball, he's doing, he's doing the most with it. And that's,

that speaks volumes on what he brings to the, to the table, you know, and sure that if people are considering on they should think about that stat and consider them all right now. There we go But yeah, shout out to she well the chief defense closes out and has another big game They finish the game with six sacks. Let's see it baby four of them coming in that that last drive man I would I tell you the place was Absolutely electric. I believe it. I mean, the stadium, the state, it was loud. It was ferocious. Everybody was screaming their tail off

on first, second, third down on that, all the fourth quarter drives when the defense was out there. And we felt that on the sidelines. Sure enough, you get a big sack here, big sack there. And now everybody on the sideline is acting like just crazed animals at the zoo. You're just screaming at everything

and getting excited about everything. Chest bump and just being electric and ecstatic about your teammate's success, man.'s that's the energy that I think we've been missing Leading up to that game And I think I think we caught a caught a good vibe by doing it You guys caught a good vibe the entire second half you didn't allow them to score a single point in the second half the chiefs I've now held up the opposition to 20 or fewer points the league most 12 games this season. Yeah.

They held the Bengals to just 80 yards in the second half yesterday. As a unit, it has been really, really fun to watch how dominant Kansas City Chiefs have been, defensively. There was also a great clip going around from the Chiefs social counts of Willie Gay requesting the song Swag Surfing on the cameras of the sideline. Oh yeah, it's a classic man. Hey, you're a camera. I tell you to play on Swag Surf. Pass the word up, tell the place Swag Surf. We really need that.

The all of a sudden it takes a message out to the place Swag Surfing. It was played in the stadium the next defensive drive. The offense was loving it. What is, is there significance with this song offense was loving it. What is is there a significance with this song in like the chiefs or is this just a banger that you guys like? I think it's always kind of been a I mean sense I really want to say since I've been here it's been a huge fourth quarter big-time moment big-time like drive in the game for our defense. They play a highlight video that has swag surf on it. As a song and gets everybody hype.

Do you think this was answered or was this set up from the beginning to probably play? I haven't heard it in a while. I haven't heard it in a while. So I'm not sure. I'm not sure if it's, I'm not sure if it's been one of those. You get quest songs on the sideline. I'm gonna start.

Which you want to answer my quiz. Dude, I've been. So we do these like team meetings and everybody gets to pick a song. Not everybody, but they take Sean request and they asked me like four weeks ago and I requested YMCA by the village people and they haven't asked me since and they haven't. Listen, you get you get you This is a joke I was like it's kind of it'd be funny guys It play it and watch the fucking room donuts Exactly don't question me all right. I've been doing we want to play the YMC

I always a little oozzy verse all oh Okay, I started with locker music. Don't fuck you. Give me started with Locker music. Now I understand why dad never listened to our fucking music. Right. It's so true. Oh my god. You get to a certain age and you're like, yeah, I'm not. I don't get it anymore. They lost me. I was all in a laffy taffy when I was in high school, but now I don't know what's happening. You play Lafay Taffy. It's over.

That's what I play. That's what I play. And the guys are looking like who gave Kels the mic. And I'm like, you know, like this is a banger. Lafay Taffy and it wasn't me by Shaggy or mygo-tos on the locker room. It's not a bad combination right there. It usually gets a few people going. No, Willie, I think we've been known to go crazy on the sideline when the D-sets is out there.

This is typically like a two. I think I remember it being like a two-minute, two-minute timeout in the middle of that timeout, play this, get everybody fired up for when they're off- and test to like time out in the middle of that time out, play this, get everybody fired up for when they're off and says to go back out on the field with the two minute drive or the two minute after the two minute warning. So yeah, shout out to Willie. I think the swag surfer did exactly what he he wanted it to do and that was make that stadium feel like chaos man and get the energy on the side line going again.

All right, let's get into week 17 roundup. Get some quick thoughts about the biggest headlines of week 17, starting with the latest playoff picture. That's right. The Ravens of 49ers officially clinched number one seeds in the AFC and NFC rightfully soaked. Both teams are playing pretty damn good football right now. And the AFC and NFC East divisions are both still up for grabs. Bills and dolphins will be playing for the division title next week. And the Eagles and Cowboys are tied at the top of the NFC East. The Jags

and Colts and Texans are all tied with the same record in the AFC South 9 and 7 and also have a chance to make the playoffs with the next, a win this next week. The Bucks control their own destiny and the, if they beat the Panthers next week and they'll win the NFC South. With the Seahawks lost to the Steelers the Rams officially clinched a playoff wildcard spot So shout out to the Rams Another note on the Steelers Seahawks game with the Steelers week 17 win they secure head coach Mike Tomlin 17th Consecuted on losing season holding how about that? How about they were talking about they were talking about firing them up What seven weeks ago the media is so dumb

Why are we and why do we do the media? Just a bunch of jackasses just a bunch of jackasses Just out here fucking talking nonsense. What are the best coaches the NFL's ever even seen about the Possibly get his 17th consecutive non-losing season Jesus I mean, listen. What were you doing 17 years ago, Jason? See, I would have been sick. I would have been.

It's all right. I'm trying to think about old. I would have been. I would have been 19. I've been 19 years old. So I was. Is that right? I was in college already. How's in college 17 years ago?

Damn, that's crazy. Is that nuts? That is nuts. Dude! What in the hell is happening? I was a freshman in college 17 years ago. What the fuck? Welcome to reality, son.

Welcome to reality, son. Yeah, I was, I had just gotten my driver's license suspended by the state of Ohio. So we're totaling my, my, my hand me down. Is this not care ban from you? No, that didn't even total it. That just had to, I had to get a silver back door. That's all that I just had to get a new back door on that thing. So it was a purple van with a silver back. We called it the silver back, the purple dragon.

No, he called it like the dragon tail man. Yeah. And then, yeah, then then like a couple of months after that, flying around with a few of the guys from the football team in the back, kids, where your seatbelt don't do this, this was very dumb and I'm glad everybody came out okay. It was lucky, but I'm swarvin' in and out of traffic

and I hit three park cars. Oh my gosh. Yeah. How'd you do that? Long story short, breaks. I'm gonna blame it on the tires. This is about a fucking 30 yard fucking tire. Like skid mark going into these park cars. I mean, I wasn't going that fast. I was only going probably like 45 miles per hour, but it was pretty, it was pretty crazy. And I'm glad that I came out okay. And that the guy, the guy, the people's cars that I hit weren't too damaged, so it wasn't that crazy on

the insurance, but I did take, get my license taken for this. So, yeah, well, I mean, it sounds like something you should have your license date even before. 100%. I put everybody's life in danger. So I deserve, deserve really so. And don't do that, shit, kids. Yeah, please.

Speak a better kid than me. But there's one thing that's to mess around with. It's a motor vehicle. It's crazy to think Mike Tomlin hasn't had a losing season since then. No, that's the whole point of

this. That is the point. That's why we started talking about it. He is a fantastic coach. Shout out to a Tomlin. Yeah, I don't know what else to say. Shout out to Mike. Sir, past pro haul football, a famous George Hallis, for the third

longest streak of consecutive 500 or better seasons by a head coach in NFL history. Wow, that's only the third. I mean, it's kind of a LeBron step, but it's a pretty good one. That's a pretty good one. I don't know. I've heard from enough people in the Pittsburgh organization how great of a coach Tomlin is of played his teams and it's evident to see how, especially as deep as I mean, dude, this guy has a hell of a coach. So, you know, whenever you see a guy is well respected as him, go through some stuff at the beginning of the season and the team still fights and perseveres and gets to where they're at at this point, you know, kudos to the

Steelers and coach Tomlin. And yeah, that just speaks even more to the level of coach he is for sure. Black out the noise, baby. Lions Cowboys ending in catcher, Vershey. This is one that I got to watch. It was happening Saturday night. The Cowboys beat the Lions 20 to 19 on Saturday, Saturday night football. Got a lot of them. Yeah. I'm Saturday night. But yeah, this is, I'm curious on your point of this. And if you guys have had a similar play because we have a very similar play and I would love to dive into this because there's a lot being made out of it.

I guess we'll walk it back for those of you that didn't watch the game. The lion's score to bring the game within one point right at the end of the game. I don't know how much time was left. There was, it was seconds. This was the two-point version. I know, but they scored a go up within one point right at the end of the game. I don't know how much time was left. There's but it was seconds. This was the two point conversion. I know, but they scored a go up within one point.

Yeah. The two point, they decided to go for two on the ensuing next play. Cowboys take a time out on the first two point attempt. They're deciding what they want to run and they decide, elect to run a eligible tackle play that's in some ways a trick play. Yeah. And the reason it's a little bit of a trick plays is deception involved. And I know this because we've done the exact same thing the way it works when you a new

when you have a tackle go into the game and you have six offensive linemen. One of those linemen usually declares eligible to be a potential receiving threat. And for the lions, that eligible player for this game was usually skip number 70. And apparently he had gone in before this play and on all the other jumbo packages or extra tackle packages that they had, he would declare eligible, he would be announced at the stadium, hey, 70 is eligible, uh, into the defense. This play is designed for Tyler Decker to go up and declare eligible with the officials. Man, Taylor Decker, sorry, sorry Taylor, skipper who runs on the field is told to run at the official and make it look like your reporting.

That is actually the coaching point that we have had for this exact play. They you want the defense to think that the same guy that is reporting has already reported. But he's supposed to not report. Now what took place on the field? I'll admit, it's hard to say. I don't. There is a universal symbol for declaring, which is this. What took place on the field? I'll admit, it's hard to say. I don't, there is a universal symbol for declaring, which is this.

That is the universal, hey, I am reporting is eligible. I don't think I see Skipper do the symbol, and it doesn't look like he gets close enough to declare eligible. I don't know what happened because I wasn't on the field, but what was supposed to happen is, Decker was supposed to report, Skipper was supposed to make it look like he reported, and then Decker was supposed to happen is Decker was supposed to report, Skipper was supposed to make it look like he reported,

and then Decker was supposed to catch a two-point-of-version pass, which he did. And I've heard people saying that Decker was covered. He wasn't. If you go back and look at that tape, I thought it was really clever by the lines. They had the outside guy line up two yards off the ball, and the inside guy line up only a yard off, and you see the inside guy signaling to the official off the ball and the inside guy line up only a yard off and you see the inside guy

signaling to the official off the ball. You actually see him signaling, hey, I'm off and getting the okay, which would make that a legal formation if it would have been reported the proper way from everyone involved. Either way, just a terrible way for this game to end because it was executed to perfection outside of the reporting. Fixing. Maybe. Fixing. When the game can you, I mean, two point conversions to thick two. Yeah, that would have been an amazing way to end that game. The thing that's more perplexing though, if I'm being honest, why did they go for two after that? Why didn't they just kick the extra point? They're on the seven yard

line. I understand going for two at the two yard line, but what are the chances that the seven yard line you're going to get in there? At that point, you got to, you know, hey, all right, let's get the extra point. Regroup, regroup, regroup, go get pissed and try and make his state. I mean, but also if you make it, I feel like they were just like pissed at that point. They're like, no, fuck that. We're going for it.

We're going for it. That sounds like I, I'm not saying I can't believe what happened, right? Met Dan Campbell one time. It sounds like that's a, that's a possibility for sure, but at the same time. Yeah, that's things,

man, Holy cow. That's, that's tough, man. That's tough. And it was so funny. The reporters asking all the Cowboys players after the game. So how would you think of that last one? It's just like, you know, just, uh, just fortunately, we came out with

the win. Yeah. The Cowboys though, low key, if you watch the drive before that, the Cowboys had a chance to end with the ball in their hands. Yeah. They'd like to give them way to, yeah, I thought, I mean, listen, I think the cowboys should have won the game the way they kind of made a blunder the previous play, which

gave the Lions the opportunity to go down there and win the game. Yeah. And then the Lions obviously made a blunder. Well, somebody made a blunder on the end of the play for two points that ultimately cost him the game. But either way, there was some it was a very odd end of the game just in general. It's very odd odd way to end the game and yeah, I hate to see it. I hate to see it when a big call like that

Yeah, I hate to see it. Hate to see it when a big call like that. Uh, this is such a big defiant, defining factor in a game and deciding factor. Just sucks when stuff like that happens. Anyways, Broncos beat the chargers under the visual game 16 to 9 just a few days after they announced they were benching. Dangerous Wilson. Dangerous Wilson. Russ told the media on Friday that the Broncos first threatened to bench him back in October if he didn't remove the injury guarantees from his contract. Yeah. According to sports illustrator, the Broncos benched Wilson due to a $37 million in injury protection scheduled to become guaranteed for 2025. On the fifth day of the new league year in March. So,

yeah, I'm not fucking signing that shit. No, this is why it's in the contract. That's all right. So according to the NFL, yeah, this is when we agreed upon. This is it. This is the whole point of doing that way. I felt that way. I felt that way. I felt that way. I felt that way. I felt that way. I felt that way. I felt that way. I felt that way.

I felt that way. I felt that way. I felt that way. I felt that way. I felt that way. I felt that way. I felt that way. I felt that way.

I felt that way. I felt that way. I felt that way. I felt that way. I felt that way. I felt that way. I felt that way. I felt that way. I felt that way. I felt that way. eliminate him for now. So we wanted to reduce the injury guarantee. Yeah. Ed coach Sean Payton is also saying the benching decision was

football related had nothing to do with the actual contract and the money and everything. Let's be honest. If the Broncos as a team were performing and Russ was having a great year, they wouldn't be doing this. So I see where Sean Payton's come from. He's like, listen, but these monetary things definitely make impacts in teams decisions to play guys. Unfortunately, yeah. Yeah. And send us at the end of the year can have an effect on

either the way guys are utilized, whether they're eligible. You see it more with guys that are, I guess, roster bubble guys, where it's like, hey, if this guy gets another game, he gets a certain play time bonus or a certain whatever, and you'll see some odd decisions sometimes at the end of seasons, especially when you're already out of the playoffs. But I think something like this is never just about

the injury protection. It's usually got a few layers leveled into it. Is that fair to say? I'm right there with you. I think there's shit going on. And obviously, he said she said she said from a lot of people. Down by the seashore. No, yeah, I think.

And yeah, that was, I can't fucking talk to save my fucking life. And I think, yeah, everybody's kind of just like trying to Stay away from the topic and saying generic things that kind of take the blame off of them Or make it not look like it's all about the money, which we all know it's the NFL It's always all about the fucking money. Yeah, I mean you hate to see this happen to a player with like the pedigree that Russ has and what he's meant to the NFL. Yeah, you know, this isn't what anybody likes to see, especially as a player. It's like, you know, it's just sucks. Obviously, it's money. So it doesn't suck too bad. He's had a good run. He just signed a $200 million contract that he's, he's just realing in.

Well, Peyton has not been happy with the offense, Perry and Rappapour, Peyton hasn't been happy with how his offense has been running. He's seen it at a high level with juberies and this wasn't it. They kept needing to simplify and pair it down. They struggled to get plays in and it rarely was run to the speed he wanted. So I mean, I don't think that Peyton's lying. Like, I think that those are probably all things that have frustrated him.

We'll know when they do a 60s, 30 for 30. 30 for 30? I don't think they're doing a 30 for 30 on this one. No, they're going to do like a 60 minute on. All right. Yeah, they'll do like that. They'll do a 30 for 30 on Russell Wilson. He's had enough go on and is clear.

I think it'll be a fun one too. Yeah, I don't feel. Be tuned into into trying to decipher the reasons behind Rissa Wilson's benching. Yeah. So let's move on. Owner throws drink on a fan. Man, who didn't see that coming? That is a crazy headline. How long has it been going on? Owner David Tepper was caught on camera during the Panthers 26-0 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars Apparently throwing a drink in the direction of a Jaguars fan from his suite at Everbank, Stadia NFL spokesperson Brian McCarthy said the league is aware of the video and has no further comment at the time

Let's watch this video. I've already seen it, but I just want to see if you can, I think you can tell that it looks, it definitely looks like something's thrown. I mean, yeah, he definitely threw a drink on a fan. Throwing like a drink or like spitting on somebody is just like, I'd rather you just punch me in the face. I don't know why that is so much more disrespectful to somebody. Am I, do you think that's accurate? I'm, I mean, there's like an air of like, like I'm better than you in that like toss.

Is that what you're saying? Or am I being able to do harsh? I think, I think you're onto something. Like I'm, I'm kind of with you on this. Like it's almost like a snooze, like I'm like, yes, fuck you, yes, I'm higher up than you. Yeah, I won't even like spinning on someone throwing a drink on someone I'd rather you just punch me in the face

let's just settle it you know I don't need the the disrespect punching me in the face out of anger is not disrespectful throwing a drink on me you're spinning on me is respectful is that make sense? It does to me. I don't know why it does, but it does I've been punched with the face before I can handle that that's fine Spitting might have a moment of reflection right there like why did I just get punched in the face? Did I deserve that but you like did I deserve to have a drink thrown on me? Fuck no, I didn't. Oh, no. Oh, no.

Oh, no. Oh, no. Oh, no. Oh, no. Oh, no. Damn, that's good. That's a good bit. That's a good thing.

I've never been to, yeah. I don't know if other people agree with that or not, but it's, let's take it to 92% or so. You guys agree with the, the disrespect of either getting punched in the face or thrown a drink on as more disrespectful. Yeah, let us know. I'll take a shout out to David Deppard. I'll try. Yeah, shout out to the frustrating times that this guy's going through right now. Just getting heckled by Jaguar fans now.

He's he's getting paid. That is one thing he is doing. fans now. Um, he's, he's getting paid. That is one thing he is doing. If we're, if we're not getting mad at Russ for this $200 million pay, now we can't get mad at Debra. Debra. He's doing all right. Yeah. He owns the stadium they were in. So good for him. He does. Coin toss suspension. Yeah. This wasn't this week. This was actually a week 16, but the packers were without their star cornerback this week in week 17. Uh, Jayer Alexander. This was hilarious. It was pretty funny, man.

This week against the Vikings, he was suspended. But last week when they played actually in Charlotte, um, Alexander appointed himself as a captain for the Packers week 16 game. It's so funny. I can only. But, um, he participated in the coin toss and when he wasn't supposed to be out there, that is the coaches didn't write him down as a captain. So I'm pretty sure that's it's actually it might be illegal to do this.

To be honest, I have no idea. I have no idea either, but during the coin toss, Alexander, uh, quote unquote, crashed the coin toss and he called tails won the toss electric first like, hey, you're gonna do this shit. When the toss there, when the toss, all right, good job. And Alexander was asked about his decision on whether he wanted the ball or to defer or to kick, which is the third one that you probably never want to actually say. You don't even want to be offered that option. I don't even, it shouldn't even be an option at this point.

During the toss that Alexander crashed, he called Tails one the toss, but then said the packers wanted to be on defense instead of correctly saying defer. Defer. Which means you defer to the second half to say whether or not you want to receive or not. Which is essentially your starting on defense. I mean, I'm kind of with, it's funny that you don't say to. You have to say. Yeah. Yeah. But like everybody does know, like he's not saying kick. We all like he's not saying kick. We all know he's not saying kick. I don't, and officials have caught on now,

they don't even give you the option, or they, right after they know you're winning it, they say, would you like to receive or defer? Like they know that nobody's supposed to say kick, but it was extra funny when he just said defense, and then they said so defer, and he just said, yeah, defense. Yeah.

Alexander in quotes after the game, it's only suiting. I don't think coach knew I was from Charlotte. The guys backed me up. So this team made it back to him up and they knew I was from here. I said, I want our defense to be out there. They all looked at me like I was crazy. I mean, it's pretty simple. What I said, he was defense to be out there. They all looked at me like I was crazy I mean, it's pretty simple what I said He was like defer question mark

I'm like, yeah Could you imagine I love how there is like this certain like protocol like you have to say the right magic word to like get what you want Yeah, and exactly he's just out here like the right magic word to like get what you want. Yeah. And he's just out here like receive like the defenses out first. My offense is out first. Like who gives a shit? How I say it? You know what I want. I don't want to kick. I kind of feel like it should be offensive at this point. Let's stop doing kick receiver defer. No, no, I love it. No, you want to stay true to it. I want somebody to really fuck it up one time. And it is for when they mess it up. It's great. So I guess let's give some context here. So a lot of teams in the NFL, I think Andy and the chiefs are one of them. He certainly was like this in

Philadelphia game by game captains every game. Game by game captains and most of the time if wherever the game is being played, when it's an away game, a lot of the times a head coach will pick players if they are from that area. Oh yeah. So we're playing for that team. He would make one of us, the captain for the Cleveland Browse. Or if you played for that organization,

like Travis just said, if you're a former cowboy and you're playing the Cowboys, if... He'll make you a captain playing against you for the game. That's what he's saying when he's saying he's from Charlotte. I'm assuming that LaFlore does game by game captains if this is happening, but maybe not. I would, I would assume so as well. Clearly, there was a coach wasn't happy with it because he was benched for the following week.

Either way, absolutely hilarious that this took place. Hilarious story. And he won the toss, so you can't be that mad at him. Yeah, he came for you too, man. You helping the team, you heard the team. I have never seen firsthand out at a coin toss, somebody mess it up, but I've seen him on video. I'm pretty sure we almost fucked it up in the Super Bowl.

Really? Super Bowl or playoffs? I forget when it was. I think Dustin Cole, who kind of like re-like, I wish I should have known the story coming into it. I don't have enough to, I don't have enough to, to corroborate it. God the fuck you just said. Yeah. I'd remember it kind of going shaky and then somebody stepped up and corrected the, what was the wrong call to the right call. It's definitely happened in the league

where the team is kicked off twice. I hate to say, but I think it might be like a Tim Teebo situation. Did Teebo screw it up one time? I could be wrong, but I think the Ravens maybe there's a team that so they're the reason that there is an option to kick before the NFL was so offensively dominated teams. I guess would potentially choose that, which is crazy to think, which essentially would mean your defense starts both halves.

But I could be wrong, but I think that this intentionally happened. There was a really bad weather game one year, and I believe, I wanna say it was the Ravens, but one of the teams started off on defense because they're like, we get the ball, there's just a high chance that we're gonna have a turnover or something like that.

Yeah. I don't know what year it was, or if that happened, it could all be in my head. New heights stand for the week. Moving on, let's hand out some stamps to the players who took their games in New Heights and we said team of the NFL season. New heights stand for the week is brought to you by our friends, addicts, celebrateers. That's right, accelerators, active energy drink is available on Amazon.

This week, I think I'm going with a former team in a mine. Bill's cornerback, Razzool Douglas. Razzool, we played with me and Philadelphia and our teammates for a long time. He was a lot of people in favor. Awesome guy. And it's been great to see him flourish in the Bill's defense. This past week, he had two picks against the Patriots and the bill's 27-21 win this week. One of his picks returned for a 40 yard pick six.

Damn. That's right. The bill's acquired uh Razzoul from the Packers and week nine and Douglas has been uh leading the league in takeaways with six. Damn. That's pretty good. I was having that good of a year, man. When you take your game to New Heights, big dog, got a bunch of respect for a Russell as I've played him on a few different teams. Nice. Bears wide receiver, DJ Moore, taking his game to New Heights had nine receptions for

159 yards in a tuddy in the Bears 37-17 win over the Falcons. More had a pretty crazy 32 yard catch at the end of the first quarter where he was tilting his head all the way back to track fields pass That's just some fields and when he was asked about the catch after the game more said that he couldn't even really see the ball In quotes, it's just no kind of got in my way, so I had to track it. Then blind catch it. It was like thank goodness I caught this.

I just have to trust myself to catch this and I really did it. Well, I mean, sometimes you just got to throw your hands out there, man. Just shoot your hands. He sand-lawned it. Yeah. He smolved it. Just put your glove up, man. Is Justin Field Benny the jet?

Yeah, nice. Yeah, shout out to DJ Moore, man, has always had a bunch of respect for him. Obviously, with the Bears for the first, his first year with the Bears and at a huge, huge game, late in the season, man, shout out to DJ for taking this game to New Heights.
