We got another great episode as you guys know some big things happened this past weekend
Hey, we're going to recap conference championship games,
highlighting of course the chiefs going back
to the Super Bowl for the fourth time in five years,
which is remarkable.
We'll also shout out some fan mentions
and talk about all the rest of the biggest storylines
around the league, including some big coaching hires
in the ranks.
So, but before we get to all that,
we're gonna get to the newest of new that's right
All righty
We reached 2 million YouTube subscribers holy cannoli
Everybody the new heights YouTube channel has officially passed the 2 million subscriber mark after last week's episode shout out to the all the 92
Mark after last week's episode shout out to the all the 92%ers and everybody that that is just now joining us Thank you for joining us on this fun ride where we have no idea what's going on
We also are back to being number one podcast across all categories in both the US and in Canada
so again, I
Don't know how we're rigging this fucking system here, but we really appreciate whoever's rigging it
It's part of the NFL script. There you go. No this I was in on the script until you guys lost. Yeah, I mean
Sucks, but yeah, I'm happy. I'm happy for you guys. Thanks, man. The script is a
Did Philadelphia dirty?
No, that ain't right Apple, United States of America all podcasts.
I guess we're at the number one of the charts.
We're also number one in sports podcasts
and a bunch of other countries,
which is fucking mind blowing to me
that we're number one in Mexico.
Who would have fucking, there's no soccer podcast on there?
We're number one in Mexico, Peru, Peru, the Philippines, Chile,
Croatia. This is going to be like Swifties, right? Can't be. They're not listening to this
podcast for football stuff, right? Yeah, that's crazy. Thank you to all the 92%ers outside of
the continental US. How about that? This is cool. Pretty fucking dope, man. Keep tuning in and we'll keep talking in football,
I guess. Yeah, I mean, we're just going to keep doing what we're doing. So if you like it, keep
listening. All right. New Heights Bracket Update. How about it, huh? And in Bracket related new news,
voting for the sweet 16 in our best NFL team named Bracket officially has closed. It closed a
while ago. I think it closed over the weekend.
We got over 500,000 votes in this round, which is pretty remarkable.
People are into it.
You are such a fucking cheater, by the way.
I'm a cheater.
You're the biggest vote skewer I've ever seen.
What are you talking about?
What am I doing?
You hit up guys on certain teams and ask them to promote this.
I'm just trying to get voter turnout.
All I want is voter turnout.
No, you're trying to get specific fan bases to catch wave so that you're more right.
This has nothing to do with the fairness of the entire bracket.
This has everything to do with you proving your point. So you're making sure you hit up big names
on certain fan bases to try and promote their team.
Are you done?
This is just good old fashioned, Jerry Mandarin.
Politics.
Completely legal.
100% politics.
And a free and fair election.
This is how I know you're gonna be a president one day
and I'm gonna be there.
And I'm gonna crawl under the oval desk again. I swear once your president dude. I'm fucking up the whole way
I'm in the walls
You can't keep me out of there. They're gonna fuck me in there. I can't wait
Former Bronco March Slayers theank, and the Broncos official Twitter account
both tried to sway the vote
by getting the Broncos involved,
but the Chiefs Kingdom prevailed again.
It was, they made up a lot of ground.
It was an impressive effort by Broncos country.
They were riding for sure, but they didn't ride far enough.
The Broncos, man, that's a sweet name, dude.
It is a great name.
I'll give it to you.
It's a very solid name.
And it flows. There is a great name. It's a very solid name. And it flows.
There is now officially only four perfect brackets
left of the total 36,000 entries.
So it is starting to dwindle down
and it'll be really interesting in the Elite 8
coming up this week with who makes it out of that
because it's starting to get real competitive.
Shout out to the 92%ers for continuing
to make your voices heard and to make sure
that this election has as little bias as possible.
Thank you so much.
We need to get to the bottom of this.
Every single vote.
Guys, ridiculous.
I just want voter turnout.
Keep submitting those.
Well, I guess you can't submit it anymore, huh?
I was gonna try and close up that bracket update. You can't submit the brackets, but you can vote. You'll be able to vote on the
bracket over this weekend and keep this thing going. Be some fun times. Let's get some fan
mentions of the week. All right now. I beat you to it, son of a buck. This week our mentions were
filled with people still reacting to Jason's time in Buffalo. What a magical magical time
It was I got a bunch of requests on for me saying that I was I would love to see
Or get a painting of this. Oh, yeah, I would love to get a lot of paintings that were people throwing out there
Yeah, I think I think request was on yeah, we'll see we. But our first mention, our fan mention is from Princess
Kiana herself. That's right. Kylie Kelsey who commented on the video of Jason taking
or talking about the shirtlessness. You were in quotes saying everybody knows this famous
quote. I'm not asking for permission. I'm doing this. And the exact quote. I will say when I'm grabbing the keys to go get a cat is Kylie's reply.
Because we know how much of a cat lover you are.
And I'm a big fan.
Huge fan of outdoor cats, outdoor cats, not indoor.
Only outdoor.
Domestic cats are.
Listen, I respect what a cat can do in nature.
It's a ferocious hunting animal.
I think you respect it because we had a cat growing up.
Which, that's what Flash was.
An outdoor cat.
I once saw Flash kill a bird mid-flight.
Flash was a bad- Isn't it just electric?
It is.
And that's what I'm saying.
You get a fucking badass cat.
Those kind of cats.
I don't want one wandering, like these ragdoll.
I've learned so much about cats over the last week.
People sending, oh, you guys should get a ragdoll.
You should get this, you should get a tabby.
I don't even know what the heck,
I didn't even know they were cat breeds.
I didn't know that was the whole thing.
I just thought it was a cat.
Yeah.
They're like dogs, they have different breeds.
Apparently ragdoll, according to everybody,
is the dog of cats.
They just cuddle up next to you.
You know, I don't know if they drink out of the
toilet bowl, but they, you know, apparently they're, they're just like dogs. But yeah,
Kai tweeted this or Instagram this, whatever the heck that.
Yeah, Instagram comment.
And immediately I Googled, I Googled how to lose a cat.
Oh, shit.
But nothing came up. The only thing that came up was like, Oh, you said you just lost the cat. I'm like, No, I
need to lose a cat. Like I don't I'm not worried about losing
it. I want to lose it. And I was surprised that there was no
where to research good ways to accidentally lose a cat. Because
if a cat does show up, it will find its way off our property
so in some way, but I don't know quite how to get it done.
Unless it's an outdoor cat,
you said you will appreciate an outdoor cat.
I do, I do, but I feel like that's,
it's not knowing Kylie,
it's gonna find its way indoors.
Just keep your house rodent free, dude.
If we can set those boundaries,
but I feel like it's not gonna happen,
it's gonna find its way indoors.
You have two Irish wolf hounds
that you keep getting out of the house.
Yeah.
They're both in and out.
Yeah, of course.
So why not just add one more that's gonna take care of all the rodents?
Because it's not gonna happen.
The kids are gonna want it up in their bedroom.
There's gonna be cat stuff all over the place.
No.
Which one is it?
Females or males?
If they pee, it like just or males, if they pee?
It just starts to, I just remember going in certain guys' houses
growing up that had cats and you would smell like that.
It's stinging my nostril right now.
Yes, you know what I'm talking about?
Yeah.
You could just smell that urine smell and I'm out.
I just, there's nothing about a cat.
That's why they make kitty litter.
Yeah, I know, but I'm just, I was in houses,
I think it's a thing and I'm out on the cats.
If you were to get a cat, I think we should give it to the 92%ers to name the cat.
I don't, we're not playing this game. So 92%ers, let's have a cat bracket name.
I want to hear all your, I want to hear all your best cat names.
Listen, if you guys are okay with a cat getting lost
after you've already named it, go ahead and participate.
This thing is not making it far.
Next up, it appears that Dad has learned how to make memes.
This past week, he showed a bunch of memes on Facebook,
including these that we're about to show you right now.
And they are all from-
Dude, do you think he's making these?
There's no chance.
He's making these.
I'm pretty sure he's just either screenshotting it or getting it sent to him sporadically.
There's no way he can make these.
Dad does not have this level of computer savviness, which is surprising because he's spending
the time on computers.
He's spending- he's spending- he's at every up-to-date computer.
Yes.
He's spent a lot of time on computers. Since He's been. He's been. He's been.
He's been.
He's been.
He's been.
He's been.
He's been.
He's been.
He's been.
He's been.
He's been.
He's been.
He's been.
He's been.
He's been.
He's been.
He's been.
He's been.
He's been.
He's been.
He's been.
He's been. He's been. He's been. He's been. It's been on your IG. Yeah, apparently, listen kids, if you wanna make your dad proud of you,
take your shirt off, drink a beer,
and scream at the top of your lungs.
Apparently that's what does it.
That's my boy.
That's my boy.
So the first one is if aliens came down from outer space
and said, take us to your leader, this is the guy.
Yeah, I mean, and no better picture proves that that's the guy.
Unfortunately, this is actually probably a good representation of the human race.
I don't know that that's the one that we want to have represent us, but if we're
looking for an accurate representation, that's probably good.
What are they doing down there?
This guy, these guys are fucking these guys are obese, alcoholic.
And stupid
How did they amass so much power look at the dolphins even smarter than this guy
Well the second one dad put out was a Jason fighting for Scotland
Scotland's freedom in a brave heart. I'll never take our freedom!
That was pretty good.
Who doesn't love a good William Wallace?
William Wallace.
When's the last time you've seen Braveheart?
Never.
Dude, watch it.
I remember seeing it a little bit when we were kids,
because Dad fucking loved that shit.
It's, he did love it, and telling you,
watch it as an adult, you'll get why he loved it. It's an electric love it and telling you watch it as an adult.
You'll get why he loved it.
It's an electric movie.
All right, well, I'm in.
All right, that's all I got to say about that.
Thanks, dad.
Yeah, should we add Papa Kelsey to the New Heights social team?
Yeah.
Him and Jet Shake can figure out.
Just shake, team up with him.
collab posts.
Let's get some collab posts going with Big Ed.
Good luck, Jet Shake.
He's going to have a lot of bad ideas.
You're going to have to weather the storm on that one.
Next up, it looks like Jason's also inspired a new Funko Pop.
Hey, from at the official Funko on on Twitter.
Do you feel this electric atmosphere?
How could you react if you released this pop?
How would you react if we could release this pop?
Yeah, dude.
I mean, Funko shaved in the chest.
Got the sweatpants, the Tim's, the Bud Light, it looks like,
and then you got a Rolex hat on, which is pretty sweet.
Talked to Funko Pop and they agreed to do a charitable thing.
It feels weird, like kind of like having this whole situation
because it was just something that kind of happened organically.
It feels weird to kind of have shirts and everything made.
Turn profit over. Yeah.
Yeah, but I feel like the way that it makes sense is we have agreed with Funko Pop
and we're gonna be releasing a shirt later in the week
where portions of the proceeds will go to Patricia Allen Fund
at O'Shea Children's Hospital out of Buffalo
because I think, I mean, you gotta repay the people
that put me in this position.
You got to, man.
You got to.
Yeah, the only reason this happened,
if you were like, why didn't you do this this past week?
Why wasn't your shirt off?
You asked me that.
It's mafia, man.
That was the situation that happened
because of what they did to me,
what we did to each other.
That was a, I get it, it was a little bit outlandish.
I don't know why it happened, it just felt right.
I don't know.
And that's all I can say, it just felt like the right thing to do.
That's bad.
There's something in that fucking water up there, man.
We're going to pay back to the people that caused this.
Let's dope.
Shout out to Foco. as well as Travis Kelsey of course

You wanna get some bold topics?
Little football?
Little football?
Yeah, let's do it, dude.
Chiefs17ravens10 in the AFC Championship game.
Da-gaan!
It was some good football being played over there
at the bank.
Initial thoughts, Trev, what do you think? Pretty good, huh? Yeah there at the bank initial thoughts travel. Do you think?
Pretty good, huh? Yeah, man. Duh God pretty damn good game. Obviously, we wish we would have scored more in the second half
but
went in there with the right mentality
executed early and
And put their offense and really their team with their backs against the walls and man
You got to love spags and this defense right now, baby.
God, it's electric playing with a man.
They're giving us chances to stay in games and win games
and kind of manage things offensively.
And Pat Mahomes is playing the game
like the best quarterback in the league, baby.
No doubt.
No, you guys have picked it up though, offensively.
I mean, I know it's only 17 points,
but you guys have multiple chances.
You had the one fourth down that you guys went for.
We're not hurting ourselves right now.
And that's the best part.
Where there's some flags here and there, but.
You're having good drives.
The mistakes like the drops are kind of limited,
the fumble, the turnovers, all those things,
the game changers, the game wreckers, certain things that you do to yourself that you just can't win doing.
We started to clean that up a lot and that goes to the head man, baby.
You don't clean those things up without good discipline.
You don't clean those things up without having good leadership and that's the
coaching staff right there making sure and harping on the right things and
really motivating us in the right direction,
week in, week out.
And we never lost faith, not one time during the year.
And right now we're playing our best ball, baby.
Boy, Arya, the Chiefs are officially headed
to the fourth Super Bowl in five years.
I mean, dude, this is legendary status.
I mean, we already talked about just going to this game.
It was what your sixth or seventh AFC championship in a row.
And now you find yourself in the dance
for the fourth time in five years.
The Chiefs were four and a half point underdogs,
which was tied for the biggest underdog
Patrick Mahomes has ever been before a game took place.
We'll start off a pregame.
Everybody talked about it.
Everybody had videos on it.
It was all over Twitter.
I was at the game and people texted me.
I love how I'm getting painted as the bad guy.
Oh, you're definitely gonna pay as a bad guy.
I had multiple people text me in the game,
middle of the game, like what's Travis doing?
Why is Travis doing it?
And I'm like, dude, you guys have no idea.
We're gonna get to it right now.
Justin Tucker is warming up and there's an exchange
between you and him. There was also exchange between now. Justin Tucker is warming up and there's an exchange between you and him.
There was also an exchange between Pat and Justin Tucker
before that as well during warmups.
It wasn't even that, but so we're warming up
and we do our same warmup every single time
on our side of the field.
For those of you that don't know what happens in pre-games,
the Ravens have their side of the field
and the Chiefs has our side of the field.
Now, specialists, because of like the win factor and where you are, they get a chance to kick
at both field goals and kind of punt from both sides of the field.
But it's always, if you're trying to go onto the other team's designated area, you kind
of stay out of their way. You don't interfere with what they have going on.
That is the unwritten rule.
That's the unwritten rule.
If you want to be a fucking dick about it,
you keep your helmet and your football
and your fucking kicking tee
right where the quarterbacks are warming up
and they're dropping, eyes are looking left
and they got a helmet down by their feet.
It's actually kind of dangerous really, but...
Like if you're not going to pick that up, I'll happily move that for you.
Justin came out and he said it was more of a joking gesture and kind of a fun competitive.
And I get it. I mean, he was kind of winking at me like being a dick about it,
like trying to get under the skin.
Yeah, he knew what he was doing.
I get it, but me and Pat, we've been having the same mentality for this game all week
long, man.
Yeah.
And it was, you got to go in there and have the right mind strain, have the right mindset.
And we just weren't in a joking mood.
We were ready to get after it.
And so, Justin, sorry if we took it to a level that you didn't think it'd get to that
play, but if you're going to be a dick, I promise you,
I can one up you every time, dude.
Tucker's known for this.
I mean, he's a legendary kicker and he knows,
he knows how to poke the buttons.
Arguably the best we've ever seen in that, I felt, man.
Oh, no, I don't even know if it's arguable at this point.
I mean, and he does this, and there's other kickers
that'll do it too, other punters.
You know, it's definitely unwritten
that you stay out of the way of the other team
when they're trying to utilize the field.
You find a way to work on the other side of the field
when it makes sense.
That's part of the game in the game
and you could tell he's playing it in these clips.
You can see his facial expressions.
He knows what he's doing.
He knows what he's doing.
Don't hit me as the bad guy, all right?
He was poking the back.
He got under your skin and listen, it worked. He got under your skin. And listen, it worked.
It got under your skin,
but it worked in the wrong way
because it was a record day for the Yeti.
T-Rav led all receivers with 11 catches for 116 yards
and a touchdown.
It was probably one of your best performances
I've ever seen, which is crazy
because you've had some unbelievable ones.
I just saw this stat the other day,
which we don't have it in the rundown, but I did take a picture of it because it's crazy. It's absolutely insane
Hold on got a good my photos
Screenshots you are Ed Kelsey man. You and dad are the exact same human being dude
I'm gonna get to it. Don't worry. I'll find it. I'll find it. This is your last 12 playoff games in total
104 catches for 1,178 yards and 13 touchdowns.
12 games, that's your stat line. The playoff has been big yeti territory.
What's so special about four?
I mean, the 12 games.
I don't know, they just said the last 12 games.
I don't know.
How many playoff games have you had with Pat? I think 17. So it's a little bit of a bronze stat. Cherry picking 12 games. I don't know. They just said the last 12 games. I don't know. How many playoff games have you ever had? I think 17. So it's a little bit of a bronze stat. Cherry
picking 12 games. It is. I was just going to throw that out there. But either way, I mean, listen.
12 game stretch. What the hell is a 12 game stretch? Let's make it a 13 game stretch, baby.
Fire up, boys. We're going to Vegas. Not only did you leave All Receivers with 116 yards and a touchdown,
you had this insane grab on third and five.
Let's go to the clip where you ended up diving.
You wanna go out and do what happened on this one?
Yeah, we'd love to walk you through it.
Big third down play and Pat changed the play.
In my mind, I was like,
I don't know if we should change this play.
And that's not how you play football.
For those of you watching.
You have to listen to the guy,
he's got the keys to the car, it's his,
he's steering the ship, you gotta listen to the guy.
And I was just like, I don't like it.
And sure enough, he's pumping,
trying to find me coming over the middle of the field.
Where's Trav, he's gonna be right here. Any second he's gonna be right there. Okay. Wait, okay. He's not showing up
I'm over here fucking putting my nose over there
On the numbers well you made up because you made every day
Yeah, you scrambling for his life gets his legs chopped out from under him and throws just something and just to get the ball out
Of his hand so he doesn't take a sack at that point.
And in my head, like I got to make a fucking play for my guy.
I'm just out here looking like an asshole,
not running the right route for him
in the biggest game of the year.
So, but yeah, Pat, thanks for giving me a chance, baby.
I love you, man.
Listen, you ran the wrong route, whatever.
You ended up with a big conversion on third down.
That was a huge part of this drive a huge part of this game
And this is one of the things that makes your and Pat's connection so
Electric because your guys ability to freelance both of you are so good at that
You know what I mean like not a pad is probably one of the best improvisers
I've ever seen play the game at the quarterback position
It's that's the thing that really sets him apart as a player to have both of you guys be able to do that
and also be on the same page or get to the same page.
All right.
It's pretty fun to watch and stuff like this.
He's a faster reader than I am.
Then I think that's what it is.
I'm just a few pages back.
Just I haven't caught up yet.
Honestly, that's it makes playing with the guy
so much fun, man.
When you just know that he could pull a rabbit out of the hat Honestly, that's it makes playing with the guy so much fun, man.
When you just know that he could pull a rabbit out of the hat at any point, put the ball
in one area for you to go and get where you or nobody gets it, and you can go and try
and make that spectacular play for your team, that's what makes it so much fun, man.
Because you just know that play is never over.
And even when they think they got you, they don't.
And I love that fucking feeling.
As you can see, I'd stand up and I'd punch a fucking ghost
right in the face.
I was so excited.
Pow!
Rar!
Take that Casper, first down.
And then we ended up scoring a touchdown,
which was awesome, man.
The Ravens kind of had that like color scheme of ghosts too.
They got that like every, you know what I mean?
Like, in the video games, it's always. It was the Wario Castle. Wario. All the Nintendo stuff.
All the ghosts are purple. Warigi. What was the Luigi Wario? Uh, no, it's not Wario. It's a Wario
and Waluigi. Waluigi. Nice. Waluigi. They definitely have that.
And holy shit, did they bring out every superstar they had that game.
Yeah, they did.
It was an electric atmosphere.
It was a family reunion in that place.
So the first two everyone saw Ray Lewis, Ned Reid, but fourth quarter came around, or third
quarter came around, and they they started playing 50 cent song.
And they turned off the lights,
started playing a 50 cent song and then panned to the tunnel.
And all you see is this shadow in the mist
and like the fogginess.
And I'm like, how the fuck did they get 50 cents?
Since when is 50 cents a fucking raven?
This is bullshit.
And it's fucking Terrell Suggs walks out.
I'm just like oh shit
That's a lecture to how did they he want to ring with us too, man? This is
You can't do that. He won one or two. Just one. Yeah, he was just one. He wasn't there back
Shout out to the sizzle man. That shit was awesome though. I was I was over there
I was I was in the huddle like oh shit. It's sizzle. Yeah, I thought it was 50 cent man
Thank God. I wasn't 50 I thought it was 50 cent, man. Thank God it wasn't 50 cent.
If it was 50 cent, man, I don't know if we came out
that game victorious, man.
Between this clip and the one that we're about to show,
I don't know which one was more impressive.
The third and five catch or this touchdown catch?
Dude, you wanna walk us through?
So they're, are they, they're in man or no?
Yeah, they're in man.
They're in man with Kyle Hamilton, man.
And I'll tell you what, that dude has a bright future.
He's already a stud.
He's already a stud and he had an unbelievable rookie year.
But what is this, like a little wheel route, like you're like out and up?
Yeah, just an out and up. Just an out and up.
We had shown that that formation and
the concept over the past probably 10 games.
We've ran that concept at least once.
So kind of been setting it up and I've had,
I don't know, probably like a handful
of catches off of that concept
where we just dot me on the out route.
So we tried to do the out and up and he played it perfectly.
He did play it perfectly.
But that's, and this is what I wanted to ask you on this
because Pat throws it back shoulder, right?
That's what this would be called against man to man.
100%, yeah.
When, do you guys know immediately when Hamilton
is playing it perfectly that if Pat throws this, he's going to try and hit me on the
back shoulder because it can have his leverage. Sorry, go ahead. It can happen one or two.
No, you're good. You're good. These are good questions. It could happen one or two ways.
Yeah. Depending on where he is, obviously, Pat's going to try and give me the best opportunity
to catch the ball. So if he's over top of me, he'll try and back shoulder me,
but at the same time, if there's some sort of blitz,
a guy comes free and Pat has to get the ball up quick
and he can't make that decision like later on.
So let's say on the out part,
like Pat has to get the ball away now.
He might just get put it up and give me a chance
to run and go and get it,
like come like catch it over the shoulder
instead of the back shoulder.
So you're still like trying to find it when you,
I didn't see that thing until it was about
five to 10 yards.
It kind of worked out in our favor because it happened.
It was bang bang, but I did not see that.
That ball was coming through the fucking rafters.
It was like coming out of like sweets in the background
it was like a like a a
dark
Foggy and then the ball just fucking appeared like five yards from me. I was like, who's that?
So you answered the next question I was gonna have which is you
Waded to turn around would look like till the last possible second and is is that important on a back shoulder catch? Cause the quicker you obviously make that transition
that it's gonna be a back shoulder,
the quicker the DB has to react.
You can tell it to me.
I mean he had great position.
He had great position.
The only chance I had was that it was that back down hip.
The last place he's thinking that is gonna be
and I could just kind of turn with it, right?
Yeah, and you use your body to shield it.
You gotta have late hands if you're gonna reel one of those in. Dude, it was an impressive catch. Barely caught it, right? Yeah, and you use your body to shield it. You got to have late hands if you're going to reel one of those in.
Dude, it was an impressive catch.
Barely caught it, but I'll take it.
With how late you got the turning around,
you get it on the hip.
Unbelievable play by you and Pat.
This is my favorite play of the day
because of everything that went into it.
Appreciate it, bud.
Tutty, baby, coming out scoring touchdowns.
That was the biggest thing coming in was that we,
we wanted to score tutties.
That's why we went for it on fourth and one
down in the red zone a few drives later in the second quarter.
We knew if we put up touchdowns,
it was gonna, it was gonna force their offense
to feel a little bit antsy and a little bit pressed
to get the ball downfield.
And that's what we wanted.
We wanted to, we wanted to see what our DBs
and their wide offs looked like.
Traveller, over the last two games
You have 17 targets 16 receptions a 94.1 percent catch percentage. How about that 90 little 92 percent erection?
And 191 yards
Three touchdowns and a 153.1 passer rating when they're targeting you
How do you keep flipping that switch on for playoff games?
What it is about?
What do you think it is about playoff games that in particular, it feels like
you end up having big games?
I don't know if we want to say this quite yet.
I mean, obviously it's just being accountable for your guys,
putting in the hard work throughout the week.
But I think there's just that flip of the switch
that you kind of turn on in December.
Yeah, sense of urgency.
You know, you want to try and have that switch
for the entire year, but it's the 17 game season, man.
Sometimes it's just, I mean, it's hard, man.
It's hard, especially after 11 years,
getting excited for a random game in fucking November
where you know you're about to wax this fucking team.
It's hard to fucking get it going every single week.
And this year, it was harder than ever
because we weren't winning those games.
And we were trying to find ways to win
and we were kicking ourselves in the foot.
And we're finally getting the juices going.
We're finally playing our best ball at the right time.
And how can you not get excited about that?
How can you not fucking wake up every single day
knowing that you got a chance to go and get this thing, man?
It's electric.
It's fucking, it's the best feeling in the world, man.
There's nothing better than January and February
football, baby.
And yeah, we're in the thick of it, man.
I love the challenge of going into a hostile environment
or I just love the challenge of having our backs
against the wall and it's it's when I go home and and
And finding a way to win with the guys
And it's a it's definitely an electric atmosphere and it's an awesome thing to witness take place
So trap your six receiving touchdown in the conference championship game is now the most all-time in conference championship games
But the big news is you have officially passed Jerry Rice
for most career receptions in the post-season,
a record that a lot of people I think
never thought would be broken.
That was crazy, yeah.
The previous record was 151.
It's crazy because I'm looking at 151 catches
and I can only remember like five.
Ha ha ha ha.
Like, damn, I five Over a fucking hundred
I've been playing this game for a while. Did you know going into it that you were close to it?
Like how could I what point did you everybody's been everybody's been talking about it stuff?
Yeah, I've been asked about it in the media and all this and that and I said it a couple or last year when I kind of got
into some of the Jerry Rice
and Julian Edelman playoff records,
the me and Pat versus, or not versus,
but me and Pat tying Gronk and Brady
and touchdowns as a duo.
You start to hear everybody talk about those playoff and it's just such
a fucking honor, man, because I got so much respect for all those guys.
Of course. So much respect for Jerry Rice and how he's been down to earth and cool as hell
with me ever since I got to the league. And I remember the first, the first Pro Bowl, it was
him in, well, who was it? Michael Irvin had,
were the, I guess the honorary head coaches for the, yeah.
Coaches, yeah.
And it was here in Jerry and Michael talk about me
as a young guy, as a young, you know, tight end in the league,
man, it just, it fueled me with confidence
that I was doing the right things, man.
So to, and what's even more funny is that
I have this weird image in the back of my head of,
remember backyard football on the computer growing up?
Oh, dude, I don't even know if I want to mention this because I've secretly been looking into seeing
if anybody holds their rights to backyard football or and backyard baseball because I want to buy it
and read and get this thing going again. That was the best game ever. It was so it was so electric.
Can you imagine playing backyard football right now on your phone because you could do
that whole thing on your phone. It wasn't that complicated.
1000% it was not complicated. Sorry, good. Good. It was.
I love it. So you do remember. All right. Nice.
Well, if you remember, Jerry Rice was the greatest thing on this game. Yes, it was.
Jerry Rice and Steve Young, I would pick both of them.
Every single time.
So every time Jerry would score a touchdown,
his automatic celebration was to pull out a notebook,
open the notebook and on the header it said records.
And it was him just scribbling in.
Oh my God, I can't believe you remember this.
Dude, and I'm just like in my head,
I'm like, damn, and then I looked it up when I got older.
I was like, damn, why would, he has all the fucking records? And that's why they did it and it's just full circle that
I'm as good as Jerry Rice in back
That's what comes to my head is that I allow the animated
I'm not saying you might have just found out what your next touchdown celebration is, but.
Just writing records?
Well, I'll have to break a record.
And I think way too far away
from any of the other records tier he has.
You missed your opportunity?
Yeah, I missed my opportunity.
Either way, pretty damn cool, man.
And pretty remarkable record to break.
It was awesome.
Thank you, man.
Maybe the biggest compliment though,
came from Antonio Brown on Twitter.
AB.
That's right, AB, the electric Twitter,
Travis Kelsie, the dopest cracker I know.
There you go, that's a heck of a compliment.
Hey man, I appreciate you AB man.
It feels good to be one of the dopest crackers man.
I love that shit man.
He's one of my favorite followers on Twitter,
you gotta follow him.
Let's get to the chief's defense.
It's been the storyline all year for the chiefs.
They have been phenomenal.
In spags we trust, that's the shirts that all the,
a lot of the defensive guys are wearing.
Man don't we?
This shirt is great, did you get one of these?
You know it baby. Dude that shirt is a great design, that's a great This shirt is great. Did you get one of these? You know it, baby.
Dude, that shirt is a great design.
That's a great freaking shirt.
Oh yeah.
They held the Ravens to just 10 points
and held the NFL's number one rushing offense
to just 81 yards.
And that was, this was my thing.
I think everybody's been going into the game.
Can they stop the Ravens rushing attack?
That's a key in, and they did it.
I mean, well, they held them to 81 yards
and forced three turnovers and forced sacks.
It was an impressive play by the Chief's defense
that has been the best in the league
for largely the entire season.
Yeah.
Including maybe the play of the game
when Lageria Snead.
Snead!
Forcing a Zay Flowers fumble at the goal line.
What a guy, man.
Well, he wasn't really reaching though, right?
He was kind of like going down, but.
No, he was, I mean, he was fully extended
to try and get that thing across the goal line.
Can't reach, fuck.
And I'll tell you what, man,
Zay Flowers is gonna be a special player in this league.
You told me this before the season even started.
You saw him work out down in Texas with Pat.
And I don't even know if we can say that,
but you saw, everybody was just right.
We were all working out at, what is it, TCU.
It just kind of like, it wasn't like a scheduled workout.
It was everybody was out there just working.
And I was just tweeting at Mark Schlaereth
because I wanted to vote in the thing, you know.
But anyways,
Zay Flowers, you said right away, I asked which of these guys did you think,
not the, yeah, I don't wanna,
but you said right away, this kid.
No, out of the guys that were down there,
I was like, give me that guy,
out of everybody that I saw down there,
I was like, he's ready right now.
Apparently the Ravens do that too,
because he was very impressive all season long,
an incredible rookie year
But an unbelievable play here by Snead at the goal line just not giving up baby the most
On the head of yard line baby. Godly. That was electric, man
It's that kind of those kind of plays man that that catapult you into the fucking Super Bowl man and
Thank God we got Snead baby and this came after
And thank God we got Snead, baby. And this came after a taunting penalty
that was called on flowers.
When he stood over Snead,
I don't even know if we want to mention that.
No, I mean, you can mention it.
It got called.
I mean, it is what it is.
You know what it is?
It's not the standing over as much.
It's not the pushing them.
It's the drop of the ball.
You think so?
The spin, you can't spin the ball
or like throw the ball at somebody
or like that is the taunt.
I don't think, there's pushing and shoving after a play all the time.
If you stand over somebody, they'll call that too though.
Cause I've been called for it.
I got called for standing over top of a guy.
It's whatever.
As much that was going on back and forth, that's a tough one.
Yeah.
Especially in a big play like that, that's a tough one.
But.
We've talked about it before. We're proton big play like that. That's a tough one. But we've talked
about it before. We're protonating to a degree. You got to let people's emotions and you want
that back and forth a little bit. And I didn't, you know, whatever. Joey Burrow certainly agrees
with us. Let the guys taunt. Let the guys talk. Normally you see let the guys play, but he just
went right for the jugular. I don't want see him play. I wanna see him taunt.
I wanna see him fucking gapping.
Hell yeah, I'm with you though Joey.
No, that's great.
There's an acceptable amount of it, right?
And there's a part of it that makes it more exciting.
You'd like seeing people's emotions fly.
As long as you're not doing these ridiculous antics
or whatever, if it's just a pure sign of aggression,
like you just made a great play, whatever.
Insane stat. The Chiefs defense has allowed four points per game in the second half over
their last eight games. You want to talk about second half adjustments, my God. Thirty-two
total points in eight games in the second half. That is a remarkable stat for the Spags
defense. That's fucking insane. It's crazy.
Is Spags the most underrated coordinator in the NFL.
I mean, I don't know that he's underrated at this point.
I am a little bit surprised.
I mean, I know his head coaching stint in St. Louis
didn't go great, but St. Louis,
I don't want to say anything bad about an organization.
That was a whatever.
Little surprise of how.
Yeah.
You don't got to say much.
It's already been said, brother.
I don't know, man.
You see a lot of other people
that are great coordinators in the NFL,
getting head coaching,
you know, stuff circling around.
And I really do think what Spags has done this year,
that entire defense has been truly fun
and exciting to watch.
They have been great.
And it's been consistent.
I love going to war with them, man.
I just love playing.
I love being in the locker room.
He's one of the most motivating guys and coaches
that I've ever been around, man.
Just always having the right frame of mind,
the right positivity.
Even when you need that toughness
and somebody to motivate you
in kind of like a get your shit going type of way,
SPACs does it in a respectable way that guys can relate to and that can motivate them.
Some guys just don't have that gauge.
They can't gauge that.
Sure.
And Spags has been able to kind of get the best out of every single guy he's got, all
the way through the depth chart.
And it just goes to show to show, you know, how much,
you know, there's how much we rely on them. And the, and this stat right here,
these 32 points in the second half is,
I mean, that's gotta be close to a fucking record right there.
I would assume.
I, yeah, you would think.
I mean, it's a, it's, it's a pretty impressive,
eight game stretch in the second, second half.
The guy found a way to stop Randy Moss and Tom Brady.
How about that? Spags found a way way to stop Randy Moss and Tom Brady. How about that?
Spags found a way to stop fucking Randy Moss and Tom Brady.
That's right.
And they were undefeated and fucking unstoppable.
The most unstoppable and stoppable has ever looked.
Spags found a way to beat him.
Or at least slow it down.
Yeah, I mean, the score was not high.
I remember that, but the 2007 Patriots Super Bowl, he did, actually, I don't even remember. I don't remember what the score was not high. I remember that but the 2007 Patriots Super Bowl he did
Actually, I don't remember. I don't remember what the score was. I'm pretty sure it was a low score game
Both teams are 20 I would assume that's what it felt like. It's kind of like that was that 0-8. You know not a lot
I'm just kidding
dude
Spags and spags we trust the biggest plays often happen when you need a most and
The final drive there was a chief that came up with perhaps the biggest play of happen when you need a most and the final drive
There was a chief that came up with perhaps the biggest play of the day because it sealed the deal
With two minutes and 34 seconds left up by seven but Checo to burn some remaining Ravens timeouts
Was being utilized but to seal the game on a 32 yard pass Marquez Valdez skin and how about top the quiz for the game on a 32 yard pass. Mark was about to scan the top the quiz for the game baby
than that man punching our ticket into the Super Bowl yet again. In case you forgot about last year
against the Cincinnati Bengals. He did the exact same fucking thing and came up big for the Kansas
City Chiefs. He was getting a lot of heat as well as the entire wide receiver room.
And I've been sitting here the entire time.
The entire offense, it ain't just that.
I mean, they were coming after you.
Yeah, they were coming after you.
They were coming after the league, yeah.
They were coming after everybody.
And it's not like it's not, you know,
listen, the offense was struggling for a little bit there,
but you guys always knew and had faith in each other.
And that's what makes this whole thing so much more special.
It ain't done yet.
You got one more game, obviously.
100%, yeah.
There's something so special about watching a guy who's been counted out and
repeatedly said he's not good enough or he's not, he shouldn't be out there.
Couldn't be more proud of the guy, man. He needs to be more accountable. Go out
there and make a play when you need it most. And, um, you know, our year, when
we wanted that, you have to see Nelson Aguilar really have a special year and
make meaningful impact for us. Hell yeah. Got to see Nelson Aguilar really have a special year and make meaningful impact for us.
Hell yeah.
Got to see Nelson after the game, man.
One of the Kelsey favorites.
That's right.
Great deal.
And so happy for MBS.
And we weren't the only one.
Big Ty, or fast Tyrae Kill chimed in on Twitter.
What you all got to say about MBS now?
And MBS actually got on Twitter
and probably had the tweet of the freaking day.
I mean, it might be the tweet of the season
at the bank with, you know.
Casey Wolf, baby.
Thou who shall not be named, I guess.
Dude, legend.
Fuck.
Awesome tweet right there from MBS.
At the bank, baby.
Let's get some post game stuff here.
Obviously, when you win the championship,
there's confetti, there's speeches,
there's all of that stuff.
So you guys are down on the field.
You had the Lamar Hunt trophy celebration on the field.
This is your first time accepting
the AFC Championship trophy outside of Arrowhead.
Yeah, a little bit different, obviously, but there were still enough fans there celebrating
it felt like.
What do you think?
Yeah, the only people that battered are family friends and the people that came on the fucking
flight with us, dude.
There you go.
That's all I gave a shit about.
All the extra is just, you know, for show, I guess.
I only cared about seeing you guys
and having fun with the guys we just won that game with, man.
You gave your patented, you gotta fight for your right.
You gotta fight for your right to fight!
I didn't feel right saying it.
Like, I'm feeling, I'm not doing it justice already.
You sounded weird.
Yeah.
It doesn't sound right coming out of me. You get like, you want to go in. It really doesn't sound right coming out of me. You get like you want to really
does it sound right coming out of
me. There's no it sounds pretty good.
Beasts, Beastie boys, but well,
I mean, it sounds good coming out of
the Beastie boys, but Big Yeti doesn't
justice, in my opinion. This was the
great photo tweeted out of Big Red
showing a little love to Taylor up
on the stage. Oh yeah. He's got a
little point. They're pointing at
each other. Going to the Super Bowl,
baby. We're going to the Bowl. We did it. Obviously, they're pointing at each other. Going to the Super Bowl, baby.
We're going to the Bowl, we did it.
Obviously, we've already talked about how they kind of
know each other from the Philly days.
Yeah.
Scott Swift, shout out to Big Scott,
him and Andy, good friends.
There you go.
That was a cool moment to see afterwards.
I didn't get to see it because I was up on the stage
screaming fight for your right, but yeah, that was a cool one.
That's awesome.
Yeah, we had the whole family down on the field.
We had me, mom, dad, and Taylor.
Everybody was down there.
How was this moment compared to other AFC championships,
especially, you know, with the way the whole season's gone,
I guess.
Man, I mean, it just, it, obviously it just,
it feels like it's a little bit sweeter, man.
You know, I don't wanna rip out anybody's heart in KC,
but this road to where we are now has been
more of a challenge, which means you have to overcome more,
which means you, it kinda means a little bit more.
And although I cherish all the games
that I play in Arrowhead, every single one of them, baby.
This one meant a lot, man, because, and it meant a lot because the guys we had and how we persevered through a lot of the
The things that we weren't you know
We weren't doing during the season
And it just it just felt that much better with those guys
You could feel it in the locker room afterwards you feel it on the plane ride home
You know typically if you win one at home
You just go straight from the from the field to your house or to the
wherever your family is out off the field. This one, we got to
have an entire two hour flight to ourselves where it was just
us partying on the freaking plane back home. And it was
electric. It was awesome. We had the coaches coming back to
where the players were and, you know, just reminiscing on this
season and enjoying every single bit of being around each other and what we had just accomplished
yet again for the second year straight.
And we got a special group, man.

All right, let's get to some other player insights on NFL storylines.
There's only one other game to really comment on, and that's the NFC Championship game.
Could he just name this the other NFC?
Yeah.
49ers prevail over the Lions, and it proved to be a truly remarkable game.
Yeah.
49ers, 34 Lions, 31.
I was on the plane.
Yeah, I didn't get to see this one.
Another of us really got to watch it and appreciate it.
We were watching it upstairs in the box a little bit before you came up,
but when we left the box, it was right around half time, I think,
of that game, and Detroit was up 24-7.
So I was like, man, Lions are round away with this thing.
And then pretty much by the time I got to the car, I was like, oh, wow,
okay, there are four nines right back at this one.
This is a game.
Yeah, Lions got out to a big lead early,
going up 24-7 into the halftime,
but the second half was all Niners.
Scored on five straight second half possessions.
Offense really got going after what is being called.
He's pretty good.
Pretty good.
Pretty good.
Just when you think he's not he's pretty fucking good
Offense really got going after what is being called the immaculate deflection
Where pretty literally bounce a pass off a lion's defender and uh brandon iu came down with it when you're
A great team you find ways to win ball games you find ways to make big plays and this game is
games you find ways to make big plays in this game is this game specifically football is known for having some of the wackiest and wildest shit happen.
Boy is it.
And we are both a part of games where it has gone off helmets, it has gone big
deflections that have turned out to be huge plays. I remembered Marcus Mariota, teammate of yours, ended up, when
he was in Tennessee, I was concussed and getting out of a CAT scan. Yeah. And was watching
my playoff hopes shrink as Mariota threw it off of Dorell Rivas' face mask and then caught
it and scored a touchdown. This kind of shit happens, man. And I mean, I'm not gonna lie,
when this kind of shit happens,
you just get crazy momentum
and the football guys are just on your side, man.
It's just, you just keep running with it, man.
And this was one of those plays.
I thought when Lamar had his deal,
when it went off of Jay Reed's hands,
and then Lamar Jackson caught the ball
and like ran for Ranford actually had like
a reception for like 20 something yards or something like that.
I was like, damn man, they're getting that kind of shit.
This is, I mean, I don't like that at all.
That the football game is out on our side.
I kind of had the opposite reflection up in the boot
because right after they scored, I was still like, man, listen,
they got a lucky one.
I didn't really see any, you know,
they still weren't really moving the ball like that,
but regardless.
They're touched out with the ball.
That was a great fucking ball.
It was a great, yes it was.
It was a great ball, a great catch,
but I hear you was kind of like a broken down play.
That's what extended the drive.
But either way, yeah, the biggest takeaway
from this game for me, that says Dan Campbell decision,
I think the biggest takeaway is Brock Purdy
and the 49ers overcoming this deficit.
Dude.
Listen, we've heard these stats all the time about Kyle Shanahan as a coach and really
his offense is that they can't really play unless they are in the game or have a lead.
They have never really come back from, what is it, like a 10 point deficit or whatever.
Well, they find themselves down 20.
This is the second game they've marched back and come from behind.
This is the biggest comeback I think
that they've had in the history of it.
The boys got heart.
And the biggest difference is the quarterback.
I mean, Purdy for as bad as he was
in the first half of last week's game.
And I guess I don't know,
in this week I didn't see much of it,
but they were losing pretty good.
When it matters most, he's showing up.
When they need him to get touchdowns
and they need this offense to get going,
he is slinging that thing.
Slinging it, he's making plays with his feet.
I mean, he's-
It's impressive.
He's playing fucking, he's playing damn good right now, man.
Obviously, I didn't see the game,
but saw the highlights and saw a lot of the plays
he's making, and I'm just like, man,
in moments that he was making those plays, man,
that is a, he's ready for the moments, man.
And he's only gonna get better and more confident
as the time goes on, man.
We're gonna have our hands full, baby.
It's gonna be a hell of a fucking Super Bowl.
I know that.
That it is.
The other takeaway from the game,
obviously everybody's talking about it,
are the 4,000 decisions, which, listen,
if you've been watching the T these are lines at all this year.
They've been before I said all.
The same, anything new.
Dan Campbell has been going for it any second he gets.
He's been the riskiest play caller in the game all season long.
He's been rolling them dice and he wasn't going to change it
up in this game.
The two that they're really talking about are the fourth
and two at the San Fran 28 and the one that was more towards the end of the game, the fourth and two at the Sam Frantz 28 and the one that was more
towards the end of the game, the fourth and three.
The fourth and two one is the one where it's like,
man, you know, if they kick the field goal,
it's a three possession game.
You know what I mean?
It's, they were up 14, they kicked the field goal
and they make it, which it would have been
just under a 50 yard kick.
It'd been right around 47 yards, I think.
Well, yeah, I guess right at the 28th,
so I'd been even less than that, about 45 yard kick.
But hindsight's always 20-20.
You guys went forward on fourth and one.
I feel like in these playoff games,
you gotta be aggressive, but that was the one
where it's like, man, we already have such a lead,
let's just take the point and make it three scores.
Until you get a first down
and a couple of plays later you just wanna
fucking touch down.
And the dagger has been put in.
And then the-
And you know, guys, see, this is what it is.
They weren't playing to accidentally sneak away with one.
They were playing to be aggressive
and go out there and take it.
And I've loved Dan Campbell for playing and coaching like that
in these lines all season long. Unf unfortunate that this story is ending for those guys
It was an incredible storyline happening man
It was fucking fun to watch them fucking go to work man
But you know, it's a great storyline for San Francisco as well the 49ers have had a special year
They've gotten a lot of redemption this year with Brock Park Purdy staying healthy down this stretch and getting an opportunity
To prove who he is and they're in the dance.
Yeah.
Yeah man, you got any final thoughts from this one?
The old Niners, Niners cheesery match baby.
That's right.
Get to watch me and George go at it yet again baby.
It'll be a fun one kiddo man.
I love that guy, I love how he plays.
And I love, it's an honor every time I get to share
the field with
this year's best tight end in the National Football League, man.
Eight five.
Well, the 49ers 17 point comeback win is tied
for the largest comeback in the history
of the NSE Championship game.
49ers are now one in five when trailing by 14 or plus points
at any point in any game since 2022.
That's a LeBron stat LeBron LeBron.
Best thing to come out of Championship weekend is the death of the Super Bowl logo
conspiracy. People have been speculating that the color logos correspond
with the teams that will be playing the games.
This comes from a lot of the scripted community.
Obviously you had red and yellow when there was Bangles Rams last year. It was a teal because you got the
bangles are red. Yeah. This is that red or orange. It might be
orange. I don't know. This year, we obviously have San Fran and
the Ravens with the purple and red and it has been officially
debunked. So way to go. Thanks guys for debunking something
that was meaningless and stupid from the beginning.
Yeah. Moving on to other news around the league.
Uh, we've got some coaching news.
Trab, you want to hit it?
Eagles coaching news at that.
The Eagles have part of ways with offensive coordinator, Brian Johnson, and
have hired former chargers and Cowboys offensive coordinator and the Boise
State stud, Kellan Moore.
Kellan Moore was the OC in Dallas for four years and the OC in LA just this past season
Have you ever ever you met Kelly? I had not
Played against him a lot. Obviously when he was in Dallas. Yeah, I was surprised actually when he got fired
The one year in Dallas it felt like their offense and you know, it's pretty fucking even just like two years before that
He's being touted as you know head candidate, one of the top ones up there.
He's been one of the brightest minds
for young offensive coaches for some time now.
So...
I'll be interested to see where your offense,
kind of the direction that it goes, man.
I'm very interested to see how that thing goes.
He's done a little bit of everything.
You know, obviously it comes from Boise,
and it's a, you know...
It was wacky back then, man.
He's a dantroids.
I didn't want to say wacky.
It was a different offense though.
And they were not.
They did a lot of stuff.
I mean, it was creative.
That's what it comes down to.
And I think there was a lot of people,
and I think even looking back ourselves
that realized that we could have potentially
been a little bit more creative, I guess, offensively.
And I think Kellan will bring a lot of that.
He did it in Dallas.
He did it, I'm sure, especially in the Chargers,
even though I didn't watch him that much.
Everybody wants to bring up the ZQ Elliott snap
in the ball type thing.
That creativity didn't work in that play,
but it's not always gonna work.
And I think he's been one of the best offensive minds in the game.
I'm excited to see what he brings to the offense
and how it evolves with him at the helm
as the offensive coordinator.
What, what are you laughing about?
Dude, that play was electric.
I just want to, I still want to know what was gonna happen.
You're about to find out.
I can't wait to ask him.
I'm pretty sure.
I think you're spot on with it though.
Zeke was supposed to get the ball.
He just got, he got hit at the line of scrimmage.
Through the whole thing off the ball through the whole thing off.
And there's the only the only way that happens. Yeah.
And they've also let go of the defensive coaches.
Sean Desai and Matt Patricia
but have since announced that they're signing Vic Fangio
to their new defensive court as their new defense coordinator
Fangio with the Dolphins mutually decided to part ways after one season last year and is formerly a
Consultant with the Eagles back in 2022 so he familiar face in the building
Obviously a NFL staple the Fangio has been around for years and years and has had a lot a lot of success in the building. Obviously a NFL staple. Faggio's been around for years and years and has had a lot, a lot of success in the NFL.
Jason, thoughts on Faggio taking over the defense?
Yeah, Vic is, I mean, listen,
his reputation proceeds itself.
He's been one of the best coordinators in the NFL,
you know, since I've been in it.
I think every stop he's been,
those defenses have been pretty darn successful.
Obviously the Dolphins this last year got rid of
with a lot of injuries there down the stretch.
But I think everywhere he's been,
he's been one of the best out there
with the defensive coaches.
He's revolutionized the game to a certain extent.
There's a lot of people talking about the Fangio defense
and how more and more coordinators have taken from it and there's
never
You know a more sign of respect than imitation right whenever somebody's trying to do what you're doing. Well that speaks to how good you are at it
I've had the pleasure of playing Vic in Chicago
Denver and
Miami and
You know, he's just a guy that,
first of all, he's brilliant.
He can do a lot of different things.
I still remember playing against him in Chicago
and he kept doing just, he kept putting six one,
like goal line defense out against our 11 personnel
and we did not know how to react to it.
And it threw us up for a loop
because we had no plan for it coming in.
They hadn't really done it.
And it threw us off offensively.
And as the type of coach he is,
he's gonna find a way to throw people off.
He's gonna find a way to mess up your run fits
and try and get you into the looks
that you think you're getting, you're not getting.
And Vick's been among the best at it.
As you said, he was a consultant with the Eagles in 2022.
I'm excited.
I think everybody in the building is excited to have Vic back. Brian Johnson, Sean DeSire,
Matt Patricia, all those guys are phenomenal coaches. This is part of the shitty part of the
business. When things don't go well, there's going to be changes. And is everything with the
offense to be blamed on Brian Johnson? Of course not. Brian Johnson is a great coach. I don't care what anybody says.
I know for a fact he is an outstanding coach
and he can be a great coordinator.
As he was for the majority of the year.
Yeah, and the previous years as a quarterback coach.
It's just, you know, there's a lot of things
that stalled out the offense and the defense the same thing.
So, you know, I feel for those guys
or for guys that let go in these situations because it's never
Any at any time is it any one guy? Never? It's that's that's the unfortunate side of this business, but I
Am excited to see what kellermore brings to the team and Vic Fangio and yeah, I think it'll be it'll be interesting
All right now. There's also a lot of fans
Eagles fans upset with sir Yanni's roll now, you know just a head coach. I think that's
Eagles being upset on the season. You can't there have been plenty of NFL teams that have had unbelievable success with
Coach that is more of the game manager and letting the OC and the DC call the plays
Listen, I mean two of the teams were right in the AFC championship and
FFC championship, John Harbaugh and Dan Campbell. Right. I think, um,
you know, Nick is first of all, I don't really know what I don't know if they've
actually said what his role is, I guess, going to be on the offense.
I know he said he's going to do more of like the head coaching
responsibilities, I think in his press conference, but. Yeah, he's on cue saying that.
Nick, and I really mean this,
is one of the best coaches I've been around
in talking about coaching situational ball,
really understanding what to do in the right moment,
motivating guys, we coach things up in team meetings
and hold people accountable better
than pretty much any other coach I've been around.
And I think he does a lot of things.
Players love him, they'll play hard for him.
I know it was a really shitty year for us,
but I think that Nick has a lot to bring as value
as the head coach and the organizational leadership
that he provides for the team.
To me, I look at it as, hey, I think
Kellen Moore is a pretty bright guy.
And I think he's going to bring, all I know now
is I know we have a great coach in Nick Siriani.
We just got a great defensive coordinator,
defensive mind in Vic Fangio.
And we got a great offensive mind
and Kellen Moore just got hired.
So in my opinion, we're adding more, you know,
talented individuals to continue to be a part of the staff. So in my opinion, we're adding more, you know, talented individuals
to continue to be a part of the staff. So whoever's calling plays, I know that we get better
having Kelly Moore in the building because I think he's a great mind and has proven that
over the last five years. Nick moving to like a head coaching position,
you're moving himself from play calling duties last year with Shane Steichen, right?
That ended up working out pretty damn good.
Nick is shown in his tenure with the Eagles
that he's gonna do whatever he thinks
is in the best interests of the Philadelphia Eagles.
And he's gonna make those decisions
and he doesn't care about how other people perceive it.
He doesn't care about anything other
than what's in the best interest of the team.
And to me, I think players respect the hell out of coaches
that operate on that level and communicate things like that. And he's a
very unselfish guy. And yeah, I'm with you. I'm with you, brother. That's my
viewpoint on it. We got one more in the in the Eagles coaching news that broke
today as we're recording this, the Eagles are expected to hire former Seahawks
defensive coordinator Clint Hurt to be their defensive line coach, man.
And he looks like he could put a hurt on somebody.
No doubt.
Dude, this dude, I don't know if I was with him at the Pro Bowl
when he was in Seattle, when the coaches were coaching our side.
But I know I've played against him a lot.
I just feel like he's going to be a guy that everybody is going to love in that.
But you just look at him and you can tell he's a guy
that's going to motivate the shit out of you. Just look at that guy, man. He's got that like he's going to get guy that everybody's gonna love and that they just look at him and you can tell he's a guy that's gonna motivate the shit out of you.
Just look at that guy, man.
He's got that like, he's gonna get the best out of you.
You know what I mean?
He's got that bite kneecaps or, you know.
You can just tell, big Clint, big Clint.
Oh man, excited to have him as well.
Congrats Clint.
And Tom Pellecero tweeted this one out,
the Eagles are expected to hire former Seahawks
defensive coordinator, Clint Hurd, as we just said.
As their D-line coach, sweeping staff changes
continue under Nick Siriani, who also is expected
to hire one of Hurts' assistants in Seattle,
Carl Scott, to be his DB coach.
Yeah, so you guys are picking up some Seahawks
coaching staffs, man.
More coaching news.
The Falcons hired former Rams DC, Raheem Morris to be their next head coach.
And the Panthers hired former Bucks OC Dave Canales for their head coaching role.
Two guys that if you put them on a screen, I would not know what they look like.
I'd know them because of we played Raheem Morris to share
our members face and I just saw a picture like a couple of days ago. what they look like. I'd know him because of, we played Raheem Morse to share, I remember his face.
And I just saw a picture like a couple days ago, Dave.
Well, the biggest news in coaching ranks,
the podcast officially has a new AFC West rivalry
with Jim Harbaugh.
That's right, the Michigan World Reads.
How about this?
Head coach from last year's national championship team
has now been hired for the LA Chargers.
He's been at Michigan since 2015, where he's just won the national championship team has now been hired for the LA Chargers. He's been at Michigan since 2015, where he's just won the national championship.
He's finally got him beating Ohio State. So he's got to be doing something right.
He's doing something right. I don't know what, what was that?
I forget what the spam was before he got there. But I mean, it was like 20 something.
It was a long time.
The Buckeyes were owning that one. Oh, HIO.
Woodson was like the last guy.
But.
Ha ha ha ha.
Harbaugh is making his return to the NFL after nine years.
He was, of course, with the San Francisco 49ers
from 11 to 14 almost winning a Super Bowl
until running into his brother in the Super Bowl.
The Harbaugh boys went at it.
There's something about that.
Not right now.
I feel for you, Jim.
I about him.
Listen, I think it's a great, I mean, Jim Harba is a great coach.
Yeah.
He's been successful everywhere he's been.
The best motivators he's had.
That's a pretty good indicator that he's going to be successful still.
Yeah.
I am going to say this though.
I've been waiting to see where Bill lands,
and I thought this was the job that made the most sense for Bill,
because you know a Belichick defense is gonna be lights out and we've seen what he can do with the Premier quarterback and to have
Herbert there in LA. I don't know why I just felt like if he if Bill goes there and they they can have that guy on offense
And Bill handled the defense. It was gonna be something special. But I think it'll still work out with,
well, I don't wanna say that
because they're playing the Chiefs, but.
You can't go wrong with firing a hard ball.
I hope you make some of the best versions
of the charges that we've seen, baby.
Give us a great challenge, man.
I ain't mad at, I ain't running from shit.
You feel me? There you go.
That's the mentality I gotta have.
Bring the biggest and the baddest, baby.
All right, well, that does it
for storylines around the NFL and kind of the coaching changes that are going on throughout the NFL and the
AFC West knowing that Antonio Pierce is now the head coach for the
the Raiders and
Or he's remaining the head coach knowing that he was the interim
and
Harbaugh making his return to the NFL for his former team as he was once the QB over there in San Diego
Let's keep this thing moving to some no dumb questions because there's no such thing as dumb questions 92%
Just dumb-ass people asking really smart questions that don't really seem that smart kind of sound dumb and feel dumb
But you can't know dumb. There's no dumb question.
I think that's true. I think that's true.
Ironically, no dumb questions just brought to you by our friends at Buffalo Wild Wings
because there's no bad Buffalo Wild Wings.
There's just good Buffalo Wild Wings.
Let's go, Sports Bar.
And a bunch of dummies going in there to watch sports from at Teresa Ortiz
2939 on YouTube Travis would you do hot ones again? Hell? Yes. I would do hot ones again
Jason would you go on the show or do one together? That'd be fun
Jason would you do a hot ones and what level of spice would you be able to handle? I will tell you this right now
Those wings and those sauces are no fucking joke. And the first time I got
introduced to a world record hot sauce was because of this fucking
jibberone in front of me. Jason made an online purses in
college to specifically ruin everyone's leftovers. As he would secretly put hot sauce
on all the leftovers in the fridge
and just watch everyone fucking be so confused
when they eat their food for lunch the next day.
I'm trying to remember what that hot sauce was called.
Atomic bomb.
No, no, that was, atomic bomb was-
Oh, Quaker steak. Quaker steak had that hot sauce and you get your picture on the wall. This, no, that was, atomic bomb was, Oh, Quaker steak.
Quaker steak had that hot sauce
and you get your picture on the way.
This was something like that though.
It was something like-
Well, this was just a hot sauce
that was designed to be as hot as possible.
Yeah.
And it's called mad, I think it was mad dog hot sauce,
but it was like something like Magnum.
Either way, I just remember going in and trying to get my,
ironically, I think it was beat ups.
I think it was a beat-ups like order from the night before and I just had an extra like
10 wings that I threw in the fridge for lunch the next day and I go in there and my first like two wings that I eat
I'm just like
Damn it. These are fucking on fire. What is this?
And Jason's just over on the couch
Giggle in like a fucking asshole What is this? And Jason's just over on the couch,
giggling like a fucking asshole.
Just a complete asshole.
When we were in college,
we used to do O-line dinners at the Boozhe knocks.
Hey, hey, hey, shout out to the Boozhees, man.
And their dad, who unfortunately recently actually
just passed away, I don't know if you knew that.
Damn, man.
My RP to the big guy.
Legend, after the legend, man.
Yeah, Mr. Boozheak, he had a fried chicken chain
in the Cincinnati area,
and we'd go and eat chicken at the house,
and it was one of the highlights.
But every time it was your first time going there,
you had to try the hot sauce,
and they would put a toothpick in it,
you'd dunk it in, and you'd lick it,
and it would ruin your day for about 20 minutes.
It was absolutely terrible.
And I bought that same hot sauce.
And I think that was Mad Dog 357,
but I think it was like their platinum dish or something.
That sounds very familiar.
And it had like a little bullet on it.
Yeah, that's where I got the atomic thing from.
I know it was some type of like weapon of war on it.
Yeah, exactly.
Like this is gonna kill you.
I think they had like a platinum version or something,
but there's like three million skolful units or something.
It's like something stupid.
It's fucking some shit that'll fucking ruin your day.
And that's exactly what it did to me on that lunch.
Yeah, you'd have guys like throwing up anyways.
Back to the not so dumb question.
What, would you go on hot ones?
Yeah, of course.
I think, I like, first of all, I love chicken wings.
How about now?
I think it's an awesome show
and it'd be fun to try it out.
Do you like Convo?
Cause you gotta be good at eating hot wings
and having a Convo.
Cause that's the hardest part is talking
while your mouth is just fucking leaking.
Yeah, I mean, I mean, it'd be terrible
that I can handle spice up to like,
what is a reasonable spice?
Like I get spicy things.
I really do enjoy hot sauces.
But obviously hot ones,
once you start getting up there
after a few of the sauces,
they're just designed not really for taste.
They're designed to just make you in pain.
Fucking ruin you.
I don't enjoy hot sauces that are like that.
I like hot sauces that have the taste combined with a little bit of heat that make you want to go back for more
Yeah, I can continue to go the endorphins going I
Don't have to go to the fridge for milk just to the survive there a milk guy. You're fucking pansy
It's what do you water it up? No, it's not ice cream is the best way to do it when I did hot ones
I didn't fucking touch the milk
or the Pepto-Bismol or anything.
You just handled it?
Like a grown ass man.
And my eyes were watering and I could barely even talk.
And I got Sean Evans, who's the host of hot ones,
got as much as he could out of me.
I mean, I'll do it.
I was in a bad place.
I will not be afraid to drink milk.
I'm in no, I don't think any.
Ain't no shame in your game.
We know this.
I'm not trying to prove toughness out of anything.
Give me the hot wings.
It'll be how to shit and I'll put some milk on there and it'll be brutal.
But yeah, let's do it from Melissa on club 92.
What is Blitz?
It's a heck of a question. Argu question arguably the is the best video game ever created
It was a game in the 90s created by a company called midway
Midway midway had a fucking going NBA hang time NBA Jam NBA hang time
NFL blitz NBA showtime Wayne NFL Blitz. NBA Showtime.
Wayne Gretzky, 3D Hockey 98.
Ooh, now that was the fucking.
Was there a soccer midway game?
Was there ever a soccer one?
No, there was a baseball game.
I think it was MLB Slugfest.
Well, Slugfest came out later.
I don't know if that was midway
or if that was another one at that point.
That's a good point.
It was the Blitz version of baseball.
It was, it was.
I mean, it was like the arcade. And when Slugfest came out, there was another one. That's a good point. It was the Blitz version of Baseball. It was, it was. It was like the arcade.
And when Slugfest came out, there was another hockey one,
which was something else too,
but it was the same, I think it was the same thing.
Whatever, we're digressing.
Yeah, Blitz was incredible.
And it was electric when it came out.
I feel like when it first came out,
was it only arcades or did it come out immediately?
That's when Sega and Nintendo 64 were big
and it went to console. There's definitely were big machines. Damn, that's a great question. I
don't know. I'm gonna say it was a video game and then became an arcade game. Or
it was at the same time. It wasn't like... It was 1,000% in the 90s and yeah when it
came out on whatever it was Nintendo or yes. Yeah, I think it was out on all of them.
But yeah, well, I don't know.
I only remember it on 64, but that's what we had.
Either way, Blitz was an incredible game,
only to be topped, of course, by Blitz 2000,
which then enabled you to play with four people
when you could only before play with two.
And that's when it really became fun.
That's when it was a two on two.
So tag team and your buddies.
You remember going to the fucking...
You go on fire and then you're dragging guys and then you remember going to the uptown
bar and Casey. Dude, we were just talking about this because Brent Black was at the
game this week and Kylie was like, she reminded me that we were with them at the arcade. We
sat there one by one. I mean, maybe four hours and we were just killing people.
So undefeated, nobody could talk about that.
We were freaking out.
It was like we were 10 all over again.
It just beating all of our friends.
We were playing defense like Wink Martindale.
We were doing suicide blitz on everyone
to put pressure on the quarterback.
And I forget whether you were blitzing or I was blitzing,
but somebody was playing free safety
and it was just read the quarterback's eyes.
And we're taking out the first receiver we see.
Ah!
Hot route is gone.
Get the ball.
You knew the ball had to come out.
It was stifling defense, stifling.
It was electric.
It was an electric afternoon.
If you don't know how to hit the turbo button the right way.
That's where it was really the most skill.
The art of the midway games. The art of all midway games was how to use the turbo
and manual juice.
That's why I love juice going backwards.
That's why I love the brilliance of midway was that there wasn't like a million
buttons like you could like do like all these things.
The greatest thing you could master in hangtime or Blitz and it's so pertinent
to actually playing sports is tempo control. Right? Maintain your turbo, know when to use
it and you could really shake somebody in some of these manual juke.
The best.
It was an electric way. I still love those games. All right. I guess we should actually
talk about what she's probably asking which is
Blitz plays no no no no no
No, right to the debaum. Yes. The other thing about Blitz is that it? I
Really think it revolutionized the NFL passing game
There was one play everybody picked and it was called the bomb and it's essentially just all go special
And it's what everybody
A male from the 90s run the bomb they know exactly what you're talking about
You got three level three level crosser it's what we ran to win the fucking game against the Ravens
We ran to bomb and just throw it up to Marquez for the game.
Is the greatest play ever invented?
Not quite all go special, but I guess that would be more of the
Hail Mary play with the little bender in the middle.
But there you go.
Yeah, triple cross, triple cross.
Yeah, triple cross.
Either way, yeah, you're putting somebody in a bind on the bomb.
No matter how they play it, you can't play it properly.
Somebody's one on one.
It's going to give us a chance.
Well, to answer your actual question, Melissa,
Blitz in the National Football League
is when you bring more than what you typically would bring,
which is four defenders.
You typically have four defensive linemen
on the line of scrimmage, and they're the ones rushing
the passer in a pass situation.
If you bring any more than that five or six
guys, that's typically what they call a blitz.
Yeah, it's it's gotten a little hairy because now there's like
simulated blitzes. So I feel like a blitz used to be like what
Travis is saying. If somebody blitz that's not a typical
rusher, if somebody's all of a sudden rushing the quarterback,
that's how we identified from the schematical.
But now, and this has been the rave, I guess for the last two or three years,
but you're seeing it more and more,
teams are pressuring with linebackers
and dropping D-Lime in our outside linebackers on the edge
that are normally rushers.
The old fire zone.
But they're only rushing four now instead of,
so they can still play a true cover three
rather than a fire zone coverage.
I think that's still a blitz, right?
But they call them simulated pressures?
I don't know.
Whenever a guy that doesn't typically rush the quarterback,
rushes the quarterback, I'm calling it a blitz.
I think that's the right way to say it.
I think you're right.
Good definition.
I'll double stamp.
I'll double stamp that triple stamp.
You can double stamp a triple stamp.
All right, that was it for NoDumb Questions,
brought to you by Buffalo Wild Wings.
Those two good ones right there.
And thank you for letting us reminisce on how good we are at Blitz. Let's go sports bar. I'm
being told to quiet her down. No, we got to look excited. Remember 92%ers. Make sure

But yeah, congratulations to SPAG's the entire chiefs organization. It's been an unbelievable year and

hell yeah baby for that defense to play that well against that high-powered
offense. It was impressive to watch. Way to go Spaggs. Spaggs taking not only his
game but our game to new heights. All right now I'm going one of my favorite
teammates of all time. My brother from Shytown, Frankfurt, Illinois, finest. There we go. Lincoln Way
East High School. Holy cow. Nick Allegretti. That's right. Nick Allegretti for the Kansas
City Chief stepped in for our Pro Bowl offensive guard, Joe Tooney for for the AFC championship. Big shoes to fill.
Huge shoes to fill and stepped up like a champion
and propelled us and got us another AFC championship
and punched our ticket into the Super Bowl yet again, man.
And Nick has been year in, year out,
missed a reliable every single time
he gets that opportunity to go in there
to play as good as he did and to play as big as he did in that moment in that game
We couldn't have did it without your brother and his at his emotional quote
thanking teammates after the game
They were there for me all week with communication making sure I was in get
Engrained in this offense. God. I'm so proud of this team man
You said it you said it for all of us, dude. We're
all in the same boat with you, man, and the feeling is mutual to have you on the team
with his brother. And damn, that was a fun one to go and get with you, man. And Nicky
Alligretti, shout out to all of our Lincoln Way East family, Dan Giordano and the Giordano
family out there in Shytown. Yeah, baby. We got a lot of connections, and Nick and his
family have been actually awesome
ever since he's been a chief
and we're lucky to have him, baby.
Shout out to Nick taking his game to New Heights.
There we go, baby.
Alrighty, I still can't yell
because my kids are waking up.
So I'm just gonna do this at a nice medium.
