Starting point is 00:02:48 Down to electric. It's part of my take. There's enough of our school sports. Welcome to part of my take. Today is Monday, January 22nd. And it's NFL divisional round. We start in Baltimore where Stephen the Sims gave the Texans a fake life with a first half punt return for a touchdown but Lamarcha the penguins Jackson who was the star of the movie as he waddle all over the icy turf of
Starting point is 00:03:29 Baltimore running for 102 scores. Admiral Nelson Aguilar was running through the back of the end zone on a dark and stormy day and it's time to tuck in PJ Stroud in his jam jams as the Texan season goes night night Ravens 34 Texans 10 Out West as the darkness was creeping over Palo Alto Packers fans were screaming I believe anything called love the Niners quarterback had to brock out all the haters as he battled through a rocky performance but he came through in the end and he proclaimed let Let there be Brock. They were handing out free scoops of touchdowns at the McCaffrey Terrier.
Starting point is 00:04:08 And Dre Greenlaw in order, do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do Blizzard, the wonderful lizard of the Oz season. Nardis, 24. Bakrus, 21. On Sunday, Jared naked ladies in the Lions had one week to think about this game in the old apartment for a ticket to the NFC Championship game. Jameer lives, ran left, gaining six feet of separation for the big blue, reminding Lions fans of another B Sanders they all adore. I'm once again asking you to run the ball, Dan Campbell.
Starting point is 00:04:47 The box made a valiant comeback. Mike Tyler Blevins looked at his special teams coach and said, I'll never understand how college and NFL teams allow kickers that just miss. Would love opinions on this. Derek Barnes and Noble made it so it wasn't such a hard cover for Lions fans at the end as he sealed the trip to San Francisco within interception. The Detroit Lions are in the NFC Championship game. Huh? Huh? Lions 31, Bucks 23. And we finished in Buffalo as Taylor Swift stopped by on her new era's tour
Starting point is 00:05:25 It's actually called a high mark stadium boom Travis Kelsey scored twice throwing up a heart taunting tomorrow hamlin and he took that personally calling his own number on a fake part and getting a busy signal Me cola hardman coughed the ball up giving the bills life But it was Tyler Bass who clearly didn't take any of Sean McDermott's speech to heart as he failed to hit either of the two uprights. No one kicks it right in crucial moments like the Buffalo Bills. Chiefs 27, the bills 24. And that was fastest two minutes from the divisional round brought to you by our friends at Chevy

Okay, divisional round in the books, PFT. That was, I feel like I got punched with the amount of football we watched because it was such high stakes football and it was like good game after good game the first game wasn't great we're going to get to every game but big moments after big moments it was awesome this is my favorite week of football it always is every year divisional round super wild card weekend is nice just because they put the super on there you get amped up about that. But division around you get you get good teams you weed out some of the phonies.
Starting point is 00:07:29 I have a take I kind of like championship someday the most because I like here's all right. Listen, I know it's less football. But there's just something special about booking a trip to the Super Bowl. It's like feels historic. I don't know like as a fan if you're a fan of one. No, just watching it even just watching it even if you're not a fan of one of the four games. No, just watching it, even just watching it. Even if you're not a fan of either team, it's like, well, this is the Super Bowl. The Super Bowl means so much.
Starting point is 00:07:50 Like, and you also, you get, you get that week where like all the fans of the team that booked it, it's like, you don't have to think about the game, you just get to celebrate it. This is, to me, even better than Super Bowl weekend. I'm kind of like Belichick. You get the championship trophy, just hand it right back. Here you go. I don't even look at this.
Starting point is 00:08:05 I like the vision around, man. It was awesome. It was an awesome weekend. It's just data too. Like you, if one of the games is stinker. Yeah, no, you're right. You're right. There's a high likelihood that one of the games
Starting point is 00:08:14 will be a blowout and you're like, fuck, I feel unfulfilled. But yeah, this was a great weekend. It was. Great weekend of football. It was good. I think for the most part, the better teams won. Yeah. We can say that, right? Yeah, I actually think all four better teams won. I think so. most part, the better teams won. Yeah, we can say that, right?
Starting point is 00:08:27 Yeah, I actually think all four better teams won. I think so. I think all four better teams won. So we're gonna think about it. I don't. Yeah, I have no, I've no qualms with the four advancing. Yeah, we're going to get great matchups in the championship weekend. Yeah, I'm very excited about it. Yeah, the two best teams in each in each conference are in the championship game.
Starting point is 00:08:43 And we're in a little bit of a pickle on the NFC side. Yes. Yes. Well, we have friends on both sides. It's points. Just give me points. Yeah. All right.
Starting point is 00:08:53 Let's get into it. Ravens 34 Texans 10 the first game on Saturday. We could talk about the Texans later and how the season was great for them. But this was the Ravens. What I thought was my don't overthink it game of the weekend. The Ravens defense was the story of this game, because it felt like everyone was saying, ooh, rest first for us.
Starting point is 00:09:14 How's Lamar and the offense gonna look? The Ravens defense was so good that they let Lamar and the offense get a half of getting their feet wet, and then in the second half, they completely destroyed them. They made adjustments at halftime, yeah, because the Ravens events was good. Ravens events was awesome the entire time. They're so goddamn tough and like nasty.
Starting point is 00:09:31 The Texans weren't able to do anything. No, they did nothing on offense. I don't think they ran a play inside the red zone the entire time. No, they couldn't run the ball at all. And it felt like every coverage that they were like, the Ravens, what the Ravens do so well too, is they don't even have like these elite pass rushers they have guys obviously they're very very good but their
Starting point is 00:09:50 coverage is like confuses quarterback so much that they just always are being able to get to the passer because it's just there's nothing there yeah the only time the Texans were able to do anything offensively is if CJ Stroud made an incredible throw right and broke off a chunk of like 20 25 25 yards. And it was in like the tightest windows possible, had to do his guide and stride. It had to be perfect throw. It was that, besides that, there was absolutely nothing
Starting point is 00:10:11 that the Texans could do on that side of the ball. It was that first half play where he like rolled out and I can't remember who he hit. It might have been Singletary who Patrickine was guarding him. And it was like Patrickine was completely smothering him. And CJ Stroud put it in the only spot that he could catch it and we all were like damn CJ Straub and then we had a moment and realized that's not really sustainable offense.
Starting point is 00:10:32 No, no. Because that was basically the perfect pass to get a good play and they weren't able to do that over and over again. Yeah, that was the only offense that the Texans had. Besides that, they did absolutely nothing. The Raven Stevens was incredible And the second half, whatever they figured out at halftime to adjust because the Texans, they blitzed way more
Starting point is 00:10:50 than the Ravens were expecting. I give them credit. It worked. It worked. It worked. We're gonna just try to do this. So the Texans did, I think, everything that the Texans could possibly do in this game.
Starting point is 00:10:59 I think they just ran into a limitation of who the Texans are versus who the Ravens are. Right. They kept it close in the first half. It was 10-10 going into halftime, right? Yep. It's tied up and they're blitzing, I think 70% of the time, which is not something that D'Amico Reigns does, but he's like, we got to do something
Starting point is 00:11:12 different. We got to, we got to like coaches have to win this game for us. And you saw Lamar ran for 100 yards and there was a couple where it was like, oh, everyone's blitzing around the edge. Let me just run for 30 yards in the middle of the field. Yeah. They did a couple of those sweet design keepers where Lamar would like fake the handoff, tuck the ball and just sprint around the edge. Let me just run for 30 yards in the middle of the field. Yeah, they did a couple of those sweet design keepers where Lamar would like fake the handoff, tuck the ball and just sprint around the edge. And then they started running past variations on
Starting point is 00:11:31 that same play. At that point, the Texans are like, well, we can't do anything. Yeah, there's nothing we can do. We did. So if you're a Texans fan, you don't hang your head. Nothing to hang your head about this season. No, it's an incredible season. Great season. And you know, I think if you're a Texans fan, you know what you have to do in the offseason to get better, but at least you know that you have hope now. Like this is, your window is beginning to open. Yes. Wide open window.
Starting point is 00:11:52 I did not realize until they showed the graphic that the Texans are the only franchise in the NFL to never be in a conference championship game. That's a bummer. Well, yeah, it's because it started in what, 2001? So the Jaguars. So the Jaguars. A couple, the Panthers have been in a super pool. Well the Jaguars Panthers, that was what,
Starting point is 00:12:07 96, 97, something like that. But yeah, it's kind of a bummer for Texans fans. You had some good teams, you had some good talent. Yeah, it just sucks because this was, it was a great season, a great first season for CDS Stroud. I called it the best rookie year for a QB ever. And it just, you just ran into an absolute buzz saw.
Starting point is 00:12:27 And the Ravens have been demolishing teams. Like this is always happens where the teams that get the buy, you kind of forget that they're there because you watch six games of playoff football on Super Wild Card weekend. And the Ravens, again, they started a little slow on offense, but their defense was ready from the first whistle. And the Ravens are, they started a little slow on offense, but their defense was ready from the first whistle and the Ravens are the only team to shut out the Texans from the end zone
Starting point is 00:12:52 this entire season. And also they did it twice. Pretty impressive. So no one else did it even once. The Ravens did it twice. I know it was CJ Stroud's first start week one, but still that's a hell of an accomplishment when the Texans offense had been playing very, very well down the stride. Yeah, your first and last game of the season as Texans or just getting your ass kicked by the Ravens. This fucking guy. The offense did not score any touchdowns. Their special teams was the difference maker for them. That's how they got their points
Starting point is 00:13:20 for the Texans. But yeah, they did nothing on offense the entire time. And CJ Stroud did play really well in the first half I thought like yeah given the circumstances Against that team he did everything that he could and I have a take because I saw a lot of people saying that CJ Straub The news kind of came out that that cognition test thing. It was a fake test. Oh, yeah, I wanted to talk about that Yeah, so it was not the real test apparently apparently CJ Didn't want to take the test because he's like, fuck this, I'm not gonna take your fake test that I'm not
Starting point is 00:13:47 getting paid for. I'm tired and I'm hungry and it's 11 o'clock at night, I just got into town. And so somebody leaked leaked his test result was even his. Yeah, people are saying that he should sue the S two people. I disagree. I think that David tepper, yeah, should sue the S two people because I am studying for the bar exam and you have to prove that you have like financial damages and liability. David Tepper could very easily be like, you fucked over my entire
Starting point is 00:14:12 operation. But then where does it stop? Because then David Tepper could also sue the restaurant that had the scallops on the menu. That's true. That was entrapment. Yeah, he could also sue himself. He could sue himself. I the S2 cognition test or wherever the fuck it's called. Nice one. Nice try guys. Tried to pull fast one on us. Yeah. Because you had it leaked that CJ Stroud performed poorly on it and then CJ Stroud was absolutely incredible and the one thing that your test was supposed to test
Starting point is 00:14:39 was anticipation and processing and CJ Stroud is incredible at both of those things. So then you're like, hey, how can we make it so that people still think our tests mean something? Oh, we'll just say that it was an incorrect test score and it never should have been counted. It was a nice run we had. Nice try, S2. We're going to remember this one because that was, they're literally just trying to cover their ass. We're like, combine season's coming up.
Starting point is 00:15:02 Yeah. Like, oh, no, no, no. That whole CJ Stroud thing. Like S2 people probably were rooting against CJ Stroud every single week so that they could say their test shows everything. And like, it is the one key that every franchise needs is that single test.
Starting point is 00:15:18 And then when CJ Stroud ended up being incredible and rookie of the year and all these things, they have to cover their ass some ways. They're like, ha haha, just a prank. They go back to measuring skulls. Yeah. How about that? Figure out some other angle that nobody has yet. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:15:31 A couple other things I want to talk about. Playoff Dalvin. Playoff Dalvin, he had a nice long run and I wouldn't mention Playoff Dalvin because he wasn't really in the game much, but Playoff Dalvin then went on a retweet spree about Playoff Dalvin that I just love. He was retweeting everyone who was talking about Dalvin Cook.
Starting point is 00:15:50 We bet on him over eight and a half yards. He was retweeting us. The Ravens treated when 31's numbers called, he's going to answer just that one run and he just said keep calling. And then he just, easy money. He had a, just a bunch of like, yeah, stay healthy and keep moving forward. A bunch of pictures. I loved it. He's pumped to be playoff. Yeah. Playoff. Dalvin, you would have thought he's got some spunk in those legs. And it
Starting point is 00:16:13 was just because Gus had a words got hurt. Yeah. No, if you, if you looked at Dalvin Cook's Twitter, you would have thought he had like 25 carries for a hundred and what he in with? I think he had like four carries for like 28 yards. Easy. Easy money. And one of them was for 21 yards I Listen believe in yourself playoff Dalvin. Let's see for 23. Okay 23. That's good. That's yeah, sure 19 Let's go playoff Dalvin keep calling. Yeah, listen to playoff Dalvin shows up for big games and he shows up for the first carry He's good. He's good for a burst. Yeah, John Harbaugh dancing too was awesome. Yeah
Starting point is 00:16:50 He was doing the Saturday Night fever in the locker room. Yeah, he looked he looked great afterwards Somebody pointed out he did the actual emoji for the guy dancing. Yeah in your phone Yeah, if you look at your phone right now and you type I think you just type in dancing if you're a, the thing that shows up is Harbaugh. Yeah. In the flesh. Isn't that guy purple too? He's purple.
Starting point is 00:17:10 Yeah. A year of Harbaugh. Yeah, the year of Harbaugh and his brother was on the sideline. It's happening. Jim was taking a lot of interviews this week. Is Jim Harbaugh still the coach at the University of Michigan? Uh, so the latest... He's taken, I think he's taken three head coaching interviews.
Starting point is 00:17:21 Yeah, so the latest that I saw is that he's taken a few head coaching interviews. I think he did an interview with someone before the Ravens game and he talked about the passing of the torch. And he also, it was leaked that his contract that he has been negotiating with Michigan while doing these interviews has an immunity clause in it, which I love. So he's negotiating both sides of the table. Yes. So the immunity clause is if the NCAA suspends him or finds him guilty of anything, Michigan cannot fire him.
Starting point is 00:17:51 Rules. Every coach. That rules. Every coach, instead of putting in like a massive buyout, is going to start doing this. Yeah. I mean, well, he's in a certain spot in terms of leverage where he could do that because he just won the Monashial title for the first time since like 1948. So yeah, he can do that immunity cause he does do the leverage tour every off season though.
Starting point is 00:18:09 Yeah, this one feels it feels like he's taken these opportunities pretty seriously at the NFL level. Yeah, I feel like this week we're going to start getting some announcements. Bill Belichick the Falcons, Harbaugh to the Chargers, that type of stuff. Then Johnson to the commanders and Johnson to the commanders. Then Johnson to the commanders. But John Harbaugh, he's back in the AFC Championship game. Crazy that this is the first AFC Championship game Baltimore will host. Yeah, that is well, at the bank.
Starting point is 00:18:34 At the bank, and by the way, I meant to say this, that crowd was awesome. The crowd was good, they got a game ball. They had, I think the Texas had like seven or eight pre-snap penalties. Where they were just jumping off sides Constantly fall starts constantly that was all crowd Baltimore's a very tough place to play. Yeah, and they love their Raven So it is gonna be cool to see them. I hope they get the later game
Starting point is 00:18:54 They do not have it won't because it's gonna be San Francisco. Wait, do they have a little I can't imagine that it Well, no, they swap every year. They swap it. Yeah, because sometimes you'll notice like it'll be daytime for the NFC Sorry, so it doesn't matter. It's pretty determined. It's always swap. It would be so good if it was a night game in Baltimore I know I mean that would although it was no dark second half Okay, good three Eastern. Yeah fourth. Yeah, yeah, it'll be dark. I like that good for Baltimore I'm happy for him happy for the fans happy for Stavi Yes, another pump-up video is Ronnie for the Ravens get those camo pants on it's so funny when Stavi does the pump-up videos because It's he knows that it's going out for the team account and he has to watch what he says very careful
Starting point is 00:19:31 Yes, if you ever seen any of the old Ronnie videos where he talks about like getting his dick sucked He has to he has to be very very careful with his choice of words. Yeah, he chooses to say yes But yeah, happy for Ravens fans. Happy for Baltimore. First AFC championship game in the city of Baltimore since 1970. It's crazy and their defense is ferocious. I think they're the best defense left. I think that's pretty easy to say at this point. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:19:57 I mean, the Niners have a lot of dudes but the Packers were able to run the ball down their throat. Like, the Ravens just, they just have guys everywhere and they do have, it's crazy how some of these organizations do it, where it's like something about the guys that came before you, and like Ray Lewis and Suggs and that defense and Ed Reid, like I feel like Patrick Queen and Roquan and these guys play that same way with that edge.
Starting point is 00:20:23 And they're like, well, that's just Raven's football. You don't want to let the guys before you down. Yeah. Or they'll stab you. Isn't it nuts though? Cause you're like, okay, this is, they're just playing Raven's football. Yeah. They just beat the fuck out of you, gang tackle you.
Starting point is 00:20:36 They're like never letting you get extra yards. And they just play with a nastiness that that's just Raven's football. I liked saying they got dudes on every level. Yeah. That's what you say if you're a football guy They do they got Jadavion clowny. They got Patrick Queen Rokuon and then Kyle Hamilton. Yeah fucking monster Marlon Humphrey didn't even play in this game
Starting point is 00:20:54 Yeah, no, so it was it was an ass kicking through and through I'm beginning to think maybe the problem with Lamar this whole time in the playoffs was just that you don't get to play in FC teams if you want to make it to the AFC championship game Yeah, and somehow he's gotten over that hump was just that you don't get to play in FC teams if you wanna make it to the AFC Championship game. Yeah. And somehow he's gotten over that hump. This will be a big test. It's Lamar like last, you know, step going against Patrick Holmes
Starting point is 00:21:13 who just keeps winning in the playoffs. That's all he does. Yeah. And I mean, we'll see. Patrick Holmes has proven that he can win on the road as well. Yeah, he has. So Max, I'm curious to know as a filly guy are you a little bit upset that they call their stadium the bank. There can only be one bank we should do Bank of the Year.
Starting point is 00:21:33 Uh Takies? Bank of the Year. Bank of the Year Takies. Sure. That's the least of my worries right now. Oh what are you worried about? You have other words. It sounds like you have a lot of worries. Oh, we could go to the next game. It sounds like you have other worries. The next game, Niners 24 Packers 21, San Francisco 49ers are proving yet again that last year they probably should have been the NFC representative. Yeah, but Brock Purdy did not play last year.
Starting point is 00:21:58 The difference was fourth quarter Brock this year. Yeah. I actually love this game for the Brock Purdy just discussion. Oh yeah, it's the best. It's perfect because no matter what your opinion of Brock Purdy was going into this game, that's still your opinion coming out of this game and it was a very bumpy road to get there. Yeah. So, Purdy's stunk. He can't he can't play in the rain. Uh he had some issues with
Starting point is 00:22:18 the glove. He was literally padding his his his jersey during the snap. Yeah, he was during the dropback I mean. He had the glove off before the game put the glove on played with that for a little bit then took the glove off based on how much it was raining or how his hand felt I always say skin skin feels better no glove no love take it off and in the fourth quarter Brock Purdy went back to looking good but before that he wasn't just like missing throws he was making bad choices and missing throws at the same time And it's just very uncomfortable
Starting point is 00:22:47 It was the perfect Brock party game because if you watch it, you're like this guy is he good and then the last drive he was last two drives. He was very good and It's also was the perfect Kyle Shanahan game one because he finally got that statistic Kyle Shanahan game one because he finally got that statistic off his resume, although it's still very bad up until they showed it on the on the graphics Kyle Shanahan. This was his first time ever winning a game playoffs or regular season trailing by five or more going into the fourth quarter he was 0 and 31 he's now 1 and 31 in those situations. But Kyle Shanahan, like, I don't know what deal he made with the devil or something, but it's just so perfect that you basically make the perfect football coach
Starting point is 00:23:31 in terms of demeanor, scheme, like, intellect, all these things, and then you say, but let's just tweak it a little bit to fuck with him. Let's give him a quarterback he never fully, fully trusts and also give him shit for brains when it comes to clock management. Yeah, that's Kyle Shanahan. Everything that makes a great football coach. Also, it makes you way less inclined to be really good at math right at the
Starting point is 00:23:54 end of the game. So when it comes to those situations, you would rather have a guy that has just like played Madden nonstop for the last 20 years and never left his couch, making those decisions about when to call time out, all that stuff, all the game management stuff. And Kyle Shanahan has spent his entire life coaching actual football, being around football guys. So it is weird, like at the end of every game, he can put together a great game plan and he'll have like one Mike McCarthy type decision.
Starting point is 00:24:20 Right, it's perfect because you never want uh the you know the guy who's like insanely good looking who also has an incredible sense of humor and is like super night like you can't have it all. Yeah. Halsey and Hannah has almost all. Yeah. He's he's one of the if not the best coaches in the NFL and then he has that little piece. It's like oh yeah, we keep you we keep you normal. We keep you humble but he but there's also the the calf tattoo that he has. I wish he had a better quarterback's name tattooed on his calf than Chris Zun.
Starting point is 00:24:45 That's true. He though gets that monkey off his back. The one win now is big. I feel like that stat still though stands until he gets like 10 or 11. It's hard to beat a team 32 times in a row. Yeah, 32 times in a row, you know, up five. He also, that end of the first half,
Starting point is 00:25:04 that was concerning if you're a Niners fan, because it felt like Kyle Shanahan doesn't fully trust Brock Partey, because he was struggling and they were just doing weird shit at the end of the first half. Yeah, he does not trust Brock Partey all the way. I wouldn't have trust him all the way, but he had no choice but to go back to him in the fourth quarter.
Starting point is 00:25:21 And for some reason, Brock just said, oh yeah, everyone said it was a top five quarterback this year. He's gonna start playing like it. And he did play well at the end, but do you think there was ever a moment on the sideline that Cal Chien-Han and Sam Darnold locked eyes? Yeah. Sam Darnold was like, dude, number one pick. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:25:37 Like, just think about it. I was texting my buddy in Scotland who became a 49ers fan out of nowhere like 20 years ago. And so he's up at 3 a.m. in the morning watching this game. And he's just like, they need to put in Sam Darnold right now. Yeah, I mean- Brock's not coming back from this.
Starting point is 00:25:50 It was, there were moments where you're like, what is going on with Brock Purdy? But the good news is, Christopher McAfrey is still the best running back in football, that run that he broke, that like, that kept the Niners in the game. Kittle was a monster. I think McAfrey was inspired by Kittle when Kittle got the ball in his hands
Starting point is 00:26:08 and he's like I'm just going to try to tackle everybody while I run. I think McAfrey is like, oh yeah, we're playing football. Kittle was a monster. Kittle is also one of the top guys because he had that one drop pass in the last drive. He dropped that one pass and it's like he's one of the top guys who are like the next ball that goes to me is catching no matter what he did he's gonna catch it out of the anger yeah cuz he gets so mad at himself you're like that's a dog yeah he he's so mad at himself that there's no way he's gonna drop this next pass I'm a little bit concerned about the 49ers defense if I'm
Starting point is 00:26:38 if I'm an iron's fan I'm smashing the concerned button it's not the panic button yet it's right next to the concern it's It's not the panic button yet. It's right next to the concern, it's right next to the panic button, but they've got a lot of names on the defense, right? Yeah. And their defensive line is not very good against the run. They just happen to play with a lead a lot. I was gonna say, yeah. And they've got Bosa who's supposed to be able to get to the pass or then you've got Chase Young. Chase Young stinks. Chase Young, would I tell you this entire season? Yeah. Would I tell you when I know he does when does. When you got Montez Sweat. Yeah. Montez Sweat's a much better player than Chase Young. Non-ball knowers were like, how you chase young went cheaper than Montez Sweat. Chase Young. Now he doesn't stink, but when a team runs it at you constantly. Yes. There's something wrong. And when they constantly were running
Starting point is 00:27:25 it out. Chase Young's problem besides the fact that he was drafted second overall. So there's a big, you know, big expectations for him. He's a physical freak. He looks so intimidated. He looks like such a good football player that when he doesn't put up any stats, you're like, what's going on with this guy? I mean, it's the predator dreadlocks. He's just a monster of a human being. And when you don't show up, it's kind of glaringly obvious. And they can't stop the run. chase isn't that great to get into the passer He hasn't really been with the exception of like a four game span where he turned it on real quick He is coming off injuries though
Starting point is 00:27:55 So that I'll give that to him But and then and then on the on the backside of your defense was it ambrie thomas? Is that the the cornerbacks name that guy was getting cooked Yeah, the defense does not look that good and I'd be a little bit worried about that if I was the nineer chase young is also Good for like three to five times a game It feels like he just completely whiffs on the direction of where the play is going Yeah, he'll just he'll he'll go down in the in the play will be going wide and he's like Where where was this like you just let the quarterback roll
Starting point is 00:28:27 right past you or the running back run right past you. You're in the wrong position. He kind of he kind of like he floats a little. I've got a lot of experience watching chase young. I can give you the guide to it. He'll either stand up straight and extend his arm and then stand there like he's playing the run and it'll be a pass play. He leads the league in tackling non-ball carriers. So if there's like a read option or a play action that goes to, you know, you fake it to the running back, Chase Young will knock the snot out of that guy. He'll be in the backfield so quick hitting that running back and then your quarterback runs around him.
Starting point is 00:28:59 Easy first down. Yeah, we should talk about the Packers though. So I'm not going to do my usual thing because it's a little different this year. The Packers completely overachieved what they were expected for this season. They're in a rebuilding year. This is very different than the last years of Aaron Rodgers where it was like one more run, one more run and you'd keep losing in hilarious fashion and I'd raise a banner and be the happiest night. I was very happy the Packers lost, but it's a little different when I think most Packers fans are like, we just opened up a window. Our quarterback showed us that he can win on the road in the playoffs. Like the last two months, he was one of the best quarterbacks
Starting point is 00:29:35 in the NFL. That's just a fact, but he did also have some bad moments in the end of the game. He had his Brett Favre moment. I don't know if you saw the side-by-side Cross his body the video it was identical to Brett Favre throwing the the interception over time in the NFC championship game Vikings vs. Saints, but yeah, I think that was with like 10 seconds left in the fourth quarter Oh, it was in the fourth. I think they were in field goal range. That's right and Brett Favre threw it He's like fuck it the announcer was so funny. I think it's Paul Allen. He's the guy that does the announcing for the Vikings, right? He was like, what are you doing right now? This is not against the Lions. This is the NFC championship game to go to the Super Bowl. It was a ridiculous play that Brett made. And you're right. It was side by side, exactly the same as what Jordan Love. It was exactly the same. It was exactly the same. And
Starting point is 00:30:21 yeah, it was, yeah, it was, I think it was no, it was overtime. That game did go to overtime. I don't know if that was the overtime interception. I think it was in the fourth quarter and it was tied. And then he did that Vikings were about to win the game and then went to overtime. Yeah. Either way, that yeah, that that entire like last what 1517 minutes for Jordan Love was not great. He kind of turned minutes for Jordan Love was not great He kind of turned back into Jordan Love from the beginning of the season where he was like trying to play a little bit of hero ball But I'm a realist I understand how good he looks and how good he probably is
Starting point is 00:30:56 So I'm not gonna sit here and pretend that this was like oh incredible to Packers I'm very happy the Packers lost the Niners are my Lord and Savior They people were making a bunch of memes where it's like, you know, they I don't even know what movie It's one of those Avenger movies where it's like the Bears like we can't do anything carefully. He's a hero Yeah, but he can and it's Thanos or something and the Niners Nope, I know I fuck it up. No, I know it's not Hank, I was just trying to get people mad. But help me, help me. I did that once.
Starting point is 00:31:27 I was talking to Piss. Yeah, I did the Spider-Man thing. Oh. Just to piss people off. Big cat, yours is Thor Ragnarok. Ragnarok, can you explain it to me, meme? So, Thor says, I can't stop you and then Evil Guy is back. It's like a one on one, it looks like the hero's about to lose, it's like, I can't stop you and then evil guys back. It's like a one-on-one. It looks like the heroes about to lose
Starting point is 00:31:46 It's like I can't stop you but then and then the apocalypse guy comes out Yeah, so is the night the Niners are my apocalypse guy. Does he have a name? Shane Shane do you have a name the Niners the apocalypse guy? You can't hear what you're saying. This is a flaunt in Thor R In Thor Ragnarok, when- We need to get an answer for this. It's like, I can't stop him, but he can. Who's that? Who's the he? Who is he? I want to give credit to the he.
Starting point is 00:32:12 The Star Lord. There are some people who are very angry- Is that his name? No, there are people very angry now. Is it Thanos? It's Ragnarok's the chick? The Niners are a chick? Is she hot?
Starting point is 00:32:25 Okay, the Packers are the chick. We're beating is a chick. It's Ragnarok is a chick? The Niners are a chick? Is she hot? It's a one-chick. Okay, play a show. The Packers are the chick. We're beating up a chick? We can't beat up a chick? Yeah, she's strong. Okay, but then does that make it right? I'm just gonna say Ragnarok is the Niners. Is that okay?
Starting point is 00:32:39 Yeah, that one's strong. All right, Ragnarok are the Niners for me, but yes, the Packers have like everything in front of them, their window is open, I get it. The Niners though, thank God, every single year, every single time the Niners are in the tournament with the Packers, the Packers will just see the Niners in lose.
Starting point is 00:32:56 I just, I love watching Jordan loves little step back James Harden throw that he does. Yeah. He's always throwing off that back foot, and every time he throws it, you're like, oh, he's throwing off his back foot, and it's a perfect pass. No, he does. Yeah. He's always thrown off that back foot. And every time he throws it, you're like, oh, he's thrown off his back foot and it's a perfect pass. No, he was really good. The amount of arm strength and accuracy
Starting point is 00:33:10 he gets off stepping back like that is crazy. I wonder if somebody's gonna try to fix that in the off season. To me, like that's something that a quarterback coach might unintentionally fuck up. Be like, we gotta work on your mechanics, Jordan. You can get another, you know, seven miles per hour of throwing power on that
Starting point is 00:33:24 and fuck up his accuracy. I hope they don't because he's fun to watch. Yeah, he's not fun to watch. What is his name? Surtur. Surtur. I need a more bad. I'm gonna go with Ragnarok. Yeah, that's Ragnarok sounds way more, way more cool. Here's the starters on my Ragnarok. You'll appreciate this big cat. The Packers have lost five playoff games with the lead in the final five minutes since 2000. The most of any team in the NFL. They lost this game. They lost also against the 49ers in 2021. Seahawks 2015, Seahawks 2014, and Max's birds back in the 90s. Those are your gummies. Seahawks 2014 was my favorite.
Starting point is 00:33:56 You take a picture in front of the TV. My personal favorite. What does happen? Yeah, I did see our friend Sam Decker being like, I don't know how much more of this a fan base can take. And I just wanted to, I didn't want to get in the dirt, but I wanted to just be like, dude, shut up, you're in the playoffs every year. I would love to lose tragically in the playoff. I like going at the tournament too. You're at the tournament. Yeah. Once you get in the dance, you don't want to see the Packers do not want to see the Niners, but incredible season for them. Matt LaFour is a very good coach. He now has the biggest test of his coaching career
Starting point is 00:34:25 and the fact that he has to fire Joe Barry. And Joe Barry did a little bit at the end where it's like Cowboys game was good. Obviously they beat the Bears a couple of games towards the end of the season. Like they turned around, but I was so perplexed by that last drive that Niners had where it's like,
Starting point is 00:34:43 the Niners have the ball. It's what was it 24 20 24 20. So you know they're going for a touchdown or no it was sorry. It was 21 17. It was 21 17 Niners Niners are down. Niners have the ball they're starting to move the ball. It's like a gamble of like we need to get the ball back if they're're gonna score. That is a perfect time to just be as aggressive as you can to try to fuck the shit up, try to get an interception,
Starting point is 00:35:11 try to get a big sack of fumble, but the Packers kind of just sat back and let the Niners just march down the field. And that was to me like the difference in the game. It's like, that is the moment that you just go balls to the wall and try to make a big play and end the game right there Because if you if you play soft coverage and you let the Niners, you know run the ball down your throat They're gonna score and you're also not gonna get the ball back with the tone time, which they did have enough time
Starting point is 00:35:35 I disagree with you though I don't the toughest test of the floor is if you're down by what eight points and There's two minutes left and you're going up against Tom Brady, do you kick a fuel goer? This actually might be a good result for LaFleur in the long term because he's gonna hate kickers. Well, that story that was told on the broadcast.
Starting point is 00:35:55 Tom and all, Renaldi's report. That was one of the most shocking things I've ever heard a sideline reporter said. If you didn't watch the game or you weren't listening to the game, you're at a bar, they said that every time Anders Carlson goes up to kick, Matt LaFleur goes to Rich Bassaccia and says a prayer. That's not a good thing for your kicker. You don't have to say a prayer. But this might be good for LaFleur. He doesn't trust his kicker so much that maybe he just
Starting point is 00:36:23 won't use his kicker when he's down by eight. It also is like a very, the Packers are really, what they do better than anyone else is they draft and they build their roster. And so they drafted a kicker this year and they're like, we're gonna build this guy up and he's staying. It was a bad hold, it was a bad hold.
Starting point is 00:36:38 But he also stuck all year. He did stink all year. I saw a screenshot of the hold, looked like Kirk Herb Street, not a good hold at all, tilted way way to the side his hand was all over the back of it. Yeah, I feel like I'm being pretty gracious though right now I'm not reveling in it I mean, I did say that I'm gonna go to sleep at night dreaming of Caleb Williams and Dreaming of Jordan Love throwing two back breaking interceptions in the last 17 minutes of a playoff game And then I had to correct myself because I was like wait that actually happened I don't have to dream
Starting point is 00:37:05 about it but other than that I feel like I've been pretty classy. Drake Greenlaw needs to learn how to go down. Yeah. He's like. Although I feel like he was just trying to get the cover for it. He's like DJ Khaled. Yeah. When you catch that ball his whole team was screaming at him.
Starting point is 00:37:19 I know. Like guys on the field were telling him take a knee go down. You ran out of the camera shot. Yeah. The game is literally over right now. The first one was even crazier where he just he wasn't even running. He just kept on changing direction for no reason. Yeah. I don't know if he wasn't even looking for
Starting point is 00:37:34 somebody to ladder the ball to he thought he was going to run the ball back. He was going backwards sideways everywhere and it was just like what are you doing? He was doing like a Barry Sanders run. Yeah. And he was you knew he was going to fumble the ball too. It was like, dude, just go down, please take a knee. You have nothing more to prove. He might've been trying to get the cover.
Starting point is 00:37:51 Do you think, do you think party is gonna have confidence now that he, that was a tough game for him and it was wet and all that shit? Do you think he's gonna play better in the NFC Championship game? Or do you think he's gonna get hurt again? It's gonna be interesting because if he does get hurt, then I don't think that the Niners have a chance in hell.
Starting point is 00:38:12 With Sam Donald. If he does get hurt, or if he doesn't get hurt, then I think that they cakewalk their way to it. Yeah, so I think we're looking at it right now. Fuck with Max right now. I think everyone can agree that like last year's NFC Championship game, he has a huge asterisk. Yes.
Starting point is 00:38:28 Knowing that the Niners are the best team in the NFC. What? Because they won the division all around by three points. Yeah. No, but we can see Brock Purdy, like a healthy Brock Purdy and the playoffs. Healthy Brock Purdy is different. It's a different guy for a thing.
Starting point is 00:38:40 Fourth quarter, especially in the second half. The seventh seed. Oh, so you're gonna hold you're holding on hope Okay, so we'll wait we'll table this for next week the eagles win next week one by 30 Well, they didn't have a quarterback the night no no no in the division all around. No, okay against the Giants Against the seven seed Packers. What he's got you there. What they both beat the seven seed Yeah, no the Giants were not the No, the Giants were not the seven seed. Correct, the Giants would actually.
Starting point is 00:39:06 They're not the seven seed. They were the six seed. Six seed, way better. They beat the Vikings in the three seed. Six seed is a way better seed than the seven seed. What's better seed, six or seven? You know you're making my point, right? Yeah, this is a bad argument for you.
Starting point is 00:39:17 What? Fuck, am I? Fuck, I did. I just trapped myself. Goddamn it. I will table. I said we'll table. Yeah, we'll table it.
Starting point is 00:39:23 We'll table it till next week. Yeah. But it's different animal's different animal I did fuck myself up there did my ragnarok someone get me a ragnarok the lines past rush is much better than diners right now yeah the lions can win this game yeah absolutely no fuck now max is nodding it's a possibility they can't you know what max you know you're such a loser that you're trying to hold on like the, basically the sanctity of losing in the Super Bowl. That's a real loser thing.
Starting point is 00:39:51 Well, also if they play the Chiefs, I'm still alive. You're living it so alive. That is a real loot. Like if you had won- If you beat the shit out of them in the Super Bowl, I still have that. If you won the Super Bowl last year, I'd understand your argument.
Starting point is 00:40:01 Cause you'd be like, I don't want anyone to say there's an Astrix on our Super Bowl win, but you didn't even win the Super Bowl. So you're just saying, we don't want anyone to say there's an Astros on our Super Bowl win, but you didn't even win the Super Bowl. So you're just saying we don't want an Astros on our NFC championship? I don't give a shit about the Astros. For a guy who doesn't raise banners? I just hate Niners fans.
Starting point is 00:40:16 Because they were mad that they didn't have a quarterback. Yeah, because all they do is cry about that game. I'm just curious, did the 49ers play against the Eagles this year? Yeah, they did. They killed them. Those are two different teams. Wait, no, but PFT, they didn't play. They played in San Francisco in the Eagles game last year was at the link.
Starting point is 00:40:34 Shane Stikin wasn't there. Wait, where did they play this year? Oh, no, they played at the link this year. Yeah. But it was close. It was close. Well, if we're talking about Red Machine games. No, actually, it was 42 to 19. Fuck. The Eagles Well, if we're talking about right now actually is 42 to 19
Starting point is 00:40:46 The Eagles beat the Bills and the Chiefs, which is the best game of the weekend So if we're talking about regular season games, they also lost to the Jets or if we're talking about regular She's they also lost to the two teams Only there was some way to figure out which team was better the Eagles or the 49ers talking about regular season games I just don't know if that's regular season games don't matter Okay, I wish there wasn't some sort of like simulation we could do to see which team would win where the Eagles are the 49ers. We're talking about regular season games. I just don't know if that's possible. Regular season games don't matter. Okay. I wish there was some sort of like simulation
Starting point is 00:41:07 we could do to see which team would win. It's sometimes it's not about like going to Super Bowl. It's like you have to do it the next year to confirm that going to the Super Bowl was real. Friendly reminder. That's really what it counts. If the Niners somehow beat Eagles last year, they were about to sign Philip Rivers
Starting point is 00:41:23 to play in the Super Bowl. I know that's such bullshit that that happens. That's the one thing that I am mad about at Kyle Shanahan about is that he put that out there after the fact. Dude, please keep that. That's fan fiction that I would nut myself over thinking about. You need to keep that shit quiet. I would much rather not have known
Starting point is 00:41:38 that that would have been the case. Yeah, yeah. But I just showed some holes against Packers. That was, I will say for Packers fans, you can't really complain because your team is always good, but that was a game that it felt like the Packers were the better team for like 50 minutes of the game. Yeah, it did.
Starting point is 00:41:57 It did. And so the Niners were lucky. I'll say that they got away with it. I don't know if they were lucky, they just made plays at the end and the Packers stopped making plays. But they played poorly for a lot of the game game the Niners did not play up to their expectations for most of the game Yeah, but it really did come down to like Jordan loves to I mean that that
Starting point is 00:42:13 Interception he threw at the end of the game was like you there was no reason for him to throw that ball They had a couple timeouts. They had time. They're just trying to get a field goal there to take it to overtime That was a dumb throw. Yeah, and then we'll see what happens to Debo. Yeah. He's injured a lot. It's like he gets injured a lot. Even minus Debo. Yeah. Minus Debo, they got dudes. Yeah, they do have dudes. Yeah. They have a lot of dudes, but you got to get the you got to you got to get the ball to the dudes. Apparently we should give Kaushalian a hand some some credit
Starting point is 00:42:42 for this. At half time, he told everybody change your shoes. Yeah. Big shoes guy. If you're the home team, that should never be an issue. Yeah, you have plenty of experience playing on the field. I'm sure you've played on that playing surface in like mild rain before. That shouldn't surprise you. No.
Starting point is 00:42:58 And I go, man, it rains here and it's kind of hard to run around. Change your shoes at half time. I think he told all the skill position guys that love it Yeah, good coaching good coaching.

The Lions are in the NFC Championship game for the first time since 1991. Also the first time since 1991 in amateur won a PGA event also happened we might we might get to that later yeah but yeah yeah that's wild that's why I get that yeah that's a great stat also Jake is rooting for the the Lions and the Chiefs to be in the Super Bowl so it's the first game the same as the Super
Starting point is 00:45:18 the book ends yeah what a storyline that rooting for story yeah I am I can't wait till he brings us up later it It's gonna be great. Like we already talked about it. It will be. Yeah. So yeah, this was a this is a fun game. It was very fun. It got sneaky close at the very end. Like it it felt like things might be slipping away from the lines a little bit. My takeaway is that the Detroit Lions are now two and oh and Super Bowls this year. Yes, they won the Super Bowl last week. They won another Super Bowl again. They're
Starting point is 00:45:42 gonna set the all time record for Super Bowl wins in one season. Super Bowl wins, yes. Because Dan Campbell was crying after this game too, using the word man all the time. It's good. It's a nice, like, emotional release to get to watch Detroit enjoy this joy. So I like it.
Starting point is 00:45:57 It's an incredible story. The fact that it was three years to the day of Dan Campbell's introductory press conference where he said biting kneecaps and everything. It's, I mean, it's an insane turnaround. It's the same story. They're in the NFC Championship game for the first time
Starting point is 00:46:12 in 33 years. That, it was, it did get closed. Cause like the Bucks did a pretty good job stopping the Lions the first half. And Goff just like, his fourth quarter was awesome. He had two drives 75 yards, 89 yards, both for touchdowns. He started the fourth quarter. I think it was like 11 straight completions for 131 yards in a touchdown.
Starting point is 00:46:36 He just went nuclear on them. Like that was the difference. Like it was a close game. And then Jared golf just started making big plays and big throws and a Mon Ross St. Brown, it might be my favorite receiver that's not on my team because he, his hands are so strong, the catches he makes,
Starting point is 00:46:51 and he's just so dependable. He's so strong. And he is so strong. And then Jameer Gibbs, I don't know, I can't remember, we might have laughed at it. I don't think we did though, but a lot of people laughed at Jameer Gibbs getting drafted eighth overall last year
Starting point is 00:47:05 Turns out he's a difference maker that's used correctly and you saw it when he like he'll just have one or two plays a game where he breaks loose and no one can touch him and Having that type of like dynamic force on your offense is so huge in the playoffs You can instantly tell when it's a rookie running back that has the ball in their hands because they've got those rookie legs. Yeah, they've got the rookie speed that's different. And when he gets the ball, it's like, Oh yeah, that guy just has more burst than everybody else. And he had a he had a very good game running the ball, carried the ball only nine times, but for 74 yards, they use him perfectly. And so it's crazy about Detroit on those drives that you mentioned. That was prime time for the Lions to just take the air out of the ball. Just like run the ball, kill the clock, don't let the Bucks have enough possessions
Starting point is 00:47:48 to win the game. And what Ben Johnson and the offense did was they said, you know what? We actually trust Jared Goff to make like intermediate passes as an extension of the run game. And we're going to kill the clock that way. And it worked. It was like, it's a shocking game plan. You would think everything you know about Dan Campbell, it's like, run the damn ball at that point. No. Ben Johnson said, we're going to throw the ball and we're going to kill the clock that way. And it worked to perfection. So the Detroit Lions offense is they did two things say that that was one that surprised me that was really good. And the second thing was I think it was fourth in goal. And you'd think at a time like that this is where the lines like to
Starting point is 00:48:25 break out their funky plays yeah they're weird ones where they get a tackle eligible throw the ball out they lined up with a tackle eligible formation it looked like it was gonna be weird play they started doing all sorts of motion and they said you know I'm gonna run the fucking ball down your throat up the middle with our third running our third straight right now so everyone thinks is not gonna get the ball, because why would you hand the ball off to a guy not named David Montgomery or Jameer Gipps?
Starting point is 00:48:49 Which based on everything you've seen with the Lions this year, no one saw that coming. No one saw that play coming and it worked perfectly. And so I love the Lions offense. I love Ben Johnson. I just wanna say that again. I love Ben Johnson. Ben Johnson, I love you very much.
Starting point is 00:49:03 Now and always, do the right thing. You have Ben Johnson at home. Eric Biennamy. Not yet, not yet. Yeah, no, you have Ben Johnson at home. Eric Biennamy, great guy. Even, you know what, great football coach, even better human being.
Starting point is 00:49:14 Yeah, Ben Johnson at home in the flash to Eric Biennamy. New coach. Yeah, know the Lions and their defense, you know, they give up big plays in the secondary, but they also, I don't know what it was, it was either, Aaron Glenn was doing a great job at dialing stuff up, or the Bucks, like there was, I think three times,
Starting point is 00:49:34 maybe four times where they had a blitzer that was completely unblocked, and just like completely screwed up the Bucks drive by Sacking Baker Mayfield. And yeah, I, like Frank Ragnau, that dude's a warrior. His knee got bent up so bad. And then like five plays later, he was bodying Vita Vae and on a fourth and one at the goal line. And the same thing happened again, it was it was like his ankle got caught at a 90 degree
Starting point is 00:49:59 angle underneath him when he got rolled up by Jared Goff the first time. And then he goes back in shoves Vita Vae, and then somebody else falls into that same leg, giving him the same injury again. Yeah. Monster. He's a monster. And that offensive line is just monsters. They're getting, when that one play where they had Pinesuil out and just like,
Starting point is 00:50:17 he was doing the Trent Williams. He was just like throwing people out of the way and like just trucking people down the field, which was so much fun to watch. And you're right about the pass rush. The pass rush, it felt like they were getting two guys to Baker every single time. Right. And they'd just be jumping like actual Lions. And they can stop.
Starting point is 00:50:33 Feeding on somebody just like swarming them. Yeah, they can stop the run. I know Rashad White did have like a one or two big runs, but they can stop the run like they do kind of have what it takes to play against the 49ers. That crowd was electric again. Yeah, the Lions are on an incredible run. Like that's, it was a great, and Jared showing up in the fourth quarter, like I said,
Starting point is 00:50:55 that was the difference in the game because it was kind of a stalemate back and forth. And they just completely blew them out in the fourth quarter. Obviously the score is a little bit closer because the Bucks scored, went for two, which how many times we got to explain it? There were so many people who didn't understand it. Maybe it was just because it was a playoff game.
Starting point is 00:51:12 You're down by 14 points in the fourth quarter and you score a touchdown, you go for two. Why is that? Because if you don't make it, you can go for two the second time. If you do get it, then you can kick an extra point for the win. And two point conversions.
Starting point is 00:51:24 Now, depending on your offense, because I wouldn't say this about every offense. Correct. But depending on how good your offense is, it's about a 50-50 shot of converting the two point conversion. It's simple math. You're planning on going for two twice if you have to. And if you can go, if you can hit your two point conversion over 50%,
Starting point is 00:51:42 the math says you will get one of the two. It's the only math that I'm confident in it. It's that and how many beers do you drink an hour that puts you over the legal limit? Yeah, that's guy that's boy math. Yeah, people ask what that is. That's exactly where boy math also is. Yeah, figuring out over unders. Yeah, measuring from the base. Yeah, that's boy math, boy math, boy math, trying to try to get your brain to figure out okay, like, you know, 155 in college basketball, what do we
Starting point is 00:52:06 need for the fouls? How much does a team have to be up late to be in that foul zone? Boy math also stopping the gas pump right when it hits $20. Yeah, that's boy math. Boy math. So not counting calories when you're eating standing up. Yep. Boy math also facts. Mike Evans had 147 yards. Think how many yards he would have had if he caught every ball. I know. He had some drops. He had some bad drops but Baker said that he wants to return next year and he says if he comes back he wants Mike Evans back next year. He's a
Starting point is 00:52:34 free agent. Yeah. Baker is a free agent. So is Mike Evans. And Mike Evans so it might be like a duo coming back together. I don't know. Baker's going to need some money. They're going to have to pay Baker to come back. Yeah, this was this. I mean, the bucks, we kind of, I'm shit on the bucks this year, but I did not expect them to be in the divisional round. They were, they were tougher than I thought they were. And it does feel like if they can add a couple pieces, maybe in the secondary, bring Baker back, they could have something. I'm just glad that Baker is thriving somewhere.
Starting point is 00:53:03 Yeah. I hope he's guys forever home. He's a tough motherfucker to yes, although he's got to lose the visor. Yeah, got to lose the visor had no chance no quarterback wearing a visor everyone a Super Bowl. Yeah, this was this was an awesome game though. Lions fans are just on cloud nine right now. They are they're America's sweetheart. They are they're America's team. They are America's team for sure. Without a doubt. So with the Lions, I feel like if the Lions get to win a Super Bowl, they'll get probably like a two year grace period before America starts to turn on them. Oh, I turn on people pretty quick.
Starting point is 00:53:36 It might happen right away. We turn on people pretty quickly. Dan Campbell could be mayor of Detroit if he wanted to easily. He would win in a landslide. Easily. But yeah, I feel like Lions fans have suffered so much throughout the years. You don't really have too many asshole Lions fans out there. Maybe there are- Tim Allen, he's a snitch. He is a snitch, stop snitching.
Starting point is 00:53:55 Everyone, we killed him. Yeah, RIP. That was funny. Yeah, RIP, Tim Allen trended. People who don't know, we did a, when COVID happened, we couldn't do grit weeks. So we did a 24 hour live stream instead. And at like five in the morning,
Starting point is 00:54:09 we just started tweeting about Tim Allen telling the whole chat to start tweeting about Tim Allen. So when everyone woke up the next day, Tim Allen was the number one trend on Twitter. And it was only because we started tweeting about him. And everyone was like, did Tim Allen die? And we dabbled in fake news on this podcast. Yeah. For sure. It was a great moment. But yeah, who are the big Detroit Lions fans? You got, you got, what's his name? Tim from,
Starting point is 00:54:31 I think you should leave. Tim Robinson. Tim Robinson. Sam Richardson. Sam Richardson. Eminem. Eminem is big. You've got Kid Rock. Where's Kid Rock been this entire time? Jared actually said he wants to see Kid Rock out there. Kid Rock has been MIA, these entire playoffs. Where's he at? Has he had that big estate that his dad born him on? I don't know.
Starting point is 00:54:49 I don't know. What are you gonna say? I'm blanking on his name. He was in the Barry, Barry, the guy from Dumb and Dumber. Oh yeah, yeah. Jeff Daniels. Yeah, Jeff Daniels.
Starting point is 00:55:01 Big. He's from Tony Sheffler's hometown, Chelsea. Wow, Tony Sheffler. Tony Sheffler's hometown, Chelsea. Wow. Tony Sheffler. Tony Sheffler. Big Lions fan. Yep. Barry Sanders, Calvin Johnson.
Starting point is 00:55:10 Yeah. Inor Lofsky. Matt Stafford most days. No. Wow. Ninja. Matt Stafford is his daughters. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:55:18 They hate his daughters. Yeah. She actually went and doubled back down. And said they were booing at their daughters? Yeah. Which now I'm kind of... That's actually the right move by Kelly Saford. Yeah, you can't be like, you're right. I just use that sympathy. You
Starting point is 00:55:28 have to be like, no, they, they, here's the video. My daughter's off. They're booing. Um, yeah, Lions are American and Sprinkles was there. Yep. Detroit, Don, let us know that Sprinkles was an attendance. So that's a great story. And yeah, the wrong lines are, it's crazy. Lions in the NFC championship game. Who would have thought? It's nuts and they can win that game. You know what's real tough for the Lions going into this year? They were they were the hot pick. People were talking about the Lions a lot based on how they finished
Starting point is 00:55:55 last year and everything that we know about them and they managed to live up and surpass those expectations. Correct. Which is very tough to do. Yeah, it's a great story arc. Especially with last year and it was like one and six and Dan Campbell like is he the right guy and just the way they finished last year to this year. It's awesome. I'm happy for Lions fans.
Starting point is 00:56:14 I am too. Except for Kid Rock. Where the fuck have you been Kid Rock? Yeah, I was telling you guys before that it's like, it's funny because you guys can root for the Lions and with all your heart. Whereas I'm sitting here being like, I'm happy for Lions fans. I'm rooting for Jared hard. But there also is a feeling like for the Lions with all your heart, whereas I'm sitting here being like, I'm happy for Lions fans, I'm rooting for Jared hard,
Starting point is 00:56:27 but there also is a feeling like if the Lions do win a Super Bowl, I'm gonna be like, fuck, but we play them two times a year, I don't like the Lions. But when you're down for so long and the Bears are also down, it's like, brother, fuck the Packers. But now it's like, now the brother's getting a nice job in a big house and I'm like, hey, wait a second. I like that. I thought we were in like squalor together.
Starting point is 00:56:47 You're like the Lions, you know, I liked him before they sold out. Yeah. You like the Lions? Well, name five of their heartbreak losses. It sucks because like Lions fans, Bears fans, like we used to do Whippets and, and you know, drink too much and stay up too late and just not and have dead end jobs. And now they're fucking got a suit and tie in corporate America and they're killing it and they got kids and everything's going well for them. And I'm still doing the whip it's in my underwear. That sounds like it's a wrong guess.
Starting point is 00:57:12 It is, it's true. That's a comedy movie. Yeah. But then what always happens at the end of that movie, what always happens to your character is you end up realizing, oh shit, I gotta get out and get a job. No, I think the way I would like this one to go
Starting point is 00:57:25 is I'd like the lines to just be like, you know what, we tried that whole success thing. We wanna do Whippets with you. Slapping the base. Yeah. Fall in love with your brother's wife. Yeah. Romcom.
Starting point is 00:57:35 Yeah. Something like that. Wait, what? I feel like that happens. Fall in love with your brother's wife? Yeah. Like they're not good for each other, but you guys actually are really good for each other
Starting point is 00:57:45 I would actually say it's the first kind of a piece of shit like Mary's his brother's wife is the asshole in that situation I think it's more I'm saying I'm just that's some of these movies play out the lion's character would Win the Lombardy and then I would kill him and steal it and then do a life in jail That's how that is. Yeah, Hank says in vet. He's writing you right now jail. That's how that movie is. That's what you're thinking of, Hank. Hank says he's writing a movie right now. We're all writing a movie. Hank, think it, I want you to flesh out that plot line a little bit.
Starting point is 00:58:11 Maybe we can put it into Bonerdog. All I'm gonna say is... No, it is a movie. It is a movie. All I'm gonna say is Lions fans, enjoy it. It's an incredible run, but it's like a Benz film. Kind of wanna do some whippets and have no responsibility, you know? This is a big game. You're probably nervous going into this game. Yeah. I haven't been nervous for a game in a long time.
Starting point is 00:58:26 Is that the plot of something about Mary? Is it? You know what is the plot of something about Mary? Mary is dating Brett Favre, but she's actually a 49ers fan. Yeah. Mary was happy about that game. True, true.
Starting point is 00:58:39 What are you looking up, Hank? Nothing. Don't worry about it. I, I, You know, Hank's writing a movie. Hank, I want you to. I know Hank's writing a movie Hank I want you to I want you to write this movie in a way that's heartwarming and charming. I think in something about Mary he's describing the antagonist. There's multiple antagonists though there's multiple guys obsessed with Mary. Correct but like there's the one guy who steals. There's no brother. There's no brother, but that's the friend. Well there is a brother, Frankenbeans.
Starting point is 00:59:08 That's true. Yeah, so that actually, I would be that brother. Yeah, Stealer from Frankenbeans? No, yeah, I would be walking around being like, you want to have a catch. No one wants to have a catch with me. Yeah, no, Hank is just, Hank's freestyle in a movie right now, which I love. Yeah, go off the dome. It works. There's something there. Yeah. That's why I'm so I'll be happy in the end, but I don't think that's gonna happen. Okay.
Starting point is 00:59:33 In order for you to be happy, the older brother has to not be happy. Right. Which is a shitty thing, but also that's the only way I can get happiness. Or I can just keep doing with it. You know what? You know what? Tomorrow's gonna be better. You know what big cat, this would be perfect. If the Lions make the Super Bowl and lose it, then Equinemia St. Brown goes to the Super Bowl and wins it.
Starting point is 00:59:52 Wait, okay, no, no, I got this, I got this. The Lions go to the Super Bowl and win it. And I'm sitting in my underwear doing whippets, being an asshole, like total shithead. And then in the last scene, the hot chick walks in and she's gonna fix my whole life. She's like, get up, get a job, you're better than this, you have more to give to the world.
Starting point is 01:00:14 And that hot chick, Caleb Williams. Oh, I like that. Yeah. And then we all live happy. Mm-hmm. That's good. Yeah. You also have your other friends
Starting point is 01:00:23 that you can do activities with, enjoy the draft together. What? Yeah, we can enjoy the draft together. Oh, you also have your other friends that you can do activities with enjoy the draft together What yeah, we can enjoy the draft. Oh, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah But I'm talking to vision. Yeah, we're talking to visual because we got a plan I see this is like an annual boys trip that we all make to the draft Yeah, and we had really shitty and loaded before the draft over here because we love it because we get to good players Yeah, and then the girl Caleb Williams convinced you like hey, you don't need to hang out with those guys anymore. You're better than them. I got you. You don't have to be high in the draft.
Starting point is 01:00:49 Your happiness doesn't have to come from the number one pick. It is kind of nice being so high up in the draft though. Oh yeah. It's the best. Get like a two month buzz off that. Yeah. No, every team that loses is a bigger loser than us. Yeah. That's what I was saying last year. It is. It's a fact. Box, the Packers, all these teams, they're bigger losers than I am. I was talking to Max about that after the Eagles lost. Like our season was way better. Yeah. Way better in the long run. Yeah. Eagles got good draft capital this year. Oh, okay. We got two seconds. I mean, better spot than the Bucks. Yeah. Bucks dropped four spots. You'll pick some good players and then Nick Sirione will coach them up
Starting point is 01:01:34 You'll pick some good players then Nick Sirione be like hey to true to the lie. Let's do an icebreaker guys All right last game we get to that later Chiefs 27 bills 24 Man that was an incredible game. And I guess we just started with the bills. I feel profound sadness for Bill's mafia. That the fact that they lost on a wide right is so, so, so mean. Like the world is just a mean place for Bill's fans. That's just, there's nothing else to say.
Starting point is 01:02:03 And we knew that was the type of game. Like even in the first quarter, second quarter, like this is going to be whoever has the ball last. And to miss that kick. And you know, there was a drop by digs. It was big. Josh missed that throw in the end zone. There's these plays that you look and you're like, fuck, that was it. Like they it like they had it yeah and it as it's gone pretty much for the entire Bill's franchise it's those losses they only have those losses I'll give you a small amount of silver lining if you're Bill's fan the way that this game ended sucked it was bad obviously the wide right Scott Norwood from from you, the you, you, the University of James Madison. That brought back a
Starting point is 01:02:48 lot of old memories. But I think losing the game this way is a little bit better than if he makes that kick, you kick off to Patrick Mahomes, he's got a minute 40 seconds left. And he drives down the field and puts a dagger in your heart again. I think that's slightly better. I don't think it's good. I don't think it's anything that they'll be happy about thinking about tonight. But in a world where Mahomes goes down and does that same thing to them again, I think you would choose missing a field goal because you can be like fucking kickers.
Starting point is 01:03:21 You can be like, God damn it, a fucking kicker did it to us again. As opposed to Patrick Mahomes, who's there and is going to continue to be there. Yeah, I guess I could see what you're saying. I think there's there's a special tragedy in missing a kick and not having enough time. So it's like the miss kick goes right to the Neil. That's the end of the game. That is the worst feeling where it's like, what just happened? How does how did this game end on that? Yeah, and he really missed that kick That was never going in. Yeah, it was never going bad kick and the bills like
Starting point is 01:03:54 It we said on Friday the Patrick Mahomes is the new Tom Brady. They are they just Will steal joy from every franchise in the AFC for the next 15 years. That's just a fact. Patrick Malmöms is inevitable. That's what he is. He wins playoff games better than anyone else. That's his 13th playoff win. He's the best quarterback in the National Football League.
Starting point is 01:04:14 It's not even a debate. I know that every year we try to do a debate. I think we've actually been pretty consistent. There is no debate. There's no debate. There is no debate. He is the best. The Chiefs' defense was not great today.
Starting point is 01:04:25 They got bully bald for three and a half quarters. And then, yeah, he's just inevitable. He is, it's what he does. He just takes it from everyone. This exact conversation, remember Hank? I brought it up to you where it's like, what the Patriots did was they made Phil Rivers and Peyton Manning and Big Ben, like those guys would have had more Super Bowls if it weren't for Tom Brady and the Patriots did was they made Phil Rivers and Peyton Manning and you know Big Ben
Starting point is 01:04:45 Like those guys would have had more Super Bowls if it weren't for Tom Brady and the Patriots Patrick Holmes is directly like responsible for stealing Joy from other cities. That's he's inevitable. Do you think that? He's he's Thanos Which one is he? Did Thanos die? Thanos killed himself. Oh, yeah, don't wait. No Tony Stark R.P. Tony die Thanos killed himself oh yeah don't wait no Tony Stark RAP Tony Stark Thanos killed himself right no the ant went up his ass Tony Stark kills himself Tony Stark kills himself no but when Thanos snapped
Starting point is 01:05:14 that killed himself right Tony Stark's brother starts fucking Robbie Fox is gonna people are gonna tell Robbie Fox listen this and Robbie Fox can get very mad at us which which Avengers was baby Yoda in? To second one that was the one that I saw that was a good one baby Yoda is good for him I'll spin off movie been about time reverse representation matters like your Yoda out there. You were baby once Is that like baby Gronk? It's Grogu. But yeah, Grogu. Grogu. I thought it was a Grogu I thought Grogu is the name of the species No, okay. His name is Grogu. Mm-hmm. thought it was a Grogu. I thought Grogu was the name of the species.
Starting point is 01:05:45 No. Okay. His name is Grogu. I don't like Baby Yoda anymore. That's literally his name? Grogu. He's Baby Yoda. How many little dogs do you think are named Grogu?
Starting point is 01:05:56 So many. A lot. So many Grogu. The most annoying dogs ever. Yeah. Oh, and they just dress him up and they're like, my little Grogu. Yeah, every dog is named Grogu. I turn into Max so fast're like, my little Krogu. Yeah, every dog was named Krogu. I turned into Max so fast.
Starting point is 01:06:05 My little Krogu. Travis Kelsey decided that he was not done yet. Even though there was a report, I think Michelle Tafoya who, I don't know where she, where is she? I don't know. She pops up every now and again on Fox News. Yeah, so she was like, yeah, he's gonna retire.
Starting point is 01:06:20 They're gonna do a joint retirement. Travis and Jason who, and Jason Kelsey MVP of the game, even though he didn't play in it, that he basically was like, I have one chance to go to Buffalo as a fan, and I'm going to live it up as much as I can. He had his shirt off for the entirety of the game. He was at Pinto Ron's tailgate,
Starting point is 01:06:38 drinking out of a bowling ball. He just lived it up. And every time they caught him on camera, when it was candid, he was just like in the back, not the star of the shot. He was chugging a beer, a different beer every single time. So he's fucking hammered right now leaving the game. He probably drank three or four celebration beers after the game was over. And speaking of romcoms, I've seen enough to know that he is right now. He got on Taylor Swift's private jet. They're flying back to Kansas City. He's the big older, like, unkempt brother of the love interest.
Starting point is 01:07:08 Yeah, he's going to throw up on your girlfriend on the way back. And it's going to be a very funny situation on that point. And ruin her dress and ruin her dress. But she's going to be like, you know what, this is the family that I'm choosing. Yeah. And I wild bunch. And I love it.
Starting point is 01:07:20 Yeah, they love me. I've, I've changed my tune recently on Taylor Swift. Um, the people that scream at their televisions when they show one clip of Taylor Swift for about the worst three seconds. That's the worst. They are the those people are actually ruining football. Yeah. Not Taylor Swift. No, you're absolutely right. Taylor Swift had a great box. And that was actually Jason Kelsey's box tonight. Big Harry box. Yes, I like that box. And Taylor Swift was in his box. Yeah, that's a box of the year nominees. Yeah. That's Jason Kelsey's box is better than Taylor Swift's
Starting point is 01:07:48 box. Okay. Are you saying screaming support or screaming anger? Anger. Oh, okay. Like if you get actually, we have fun on the show, but if you actually are upset when they show Taylor Swift's box, I like watching, I like seeing Taylor Swift's box. It's like kneeling for the anthem. Right. It's like, like who can how mad can you be? Right. Yeah, so yeah, there was a report that Taylor Swift didn't take off her hat for the anthem. Not my report That was Ben Menz that put that. Yeah Ben Menz put that out there tweeted him if you have a problem with that. Yeah, interesting But yeah, no the Travis Kelsey not retiring Travis Kelsey was awesome tonight. Yeah And he had two touchdowns and he was like big-time players make big-time plays type of guy
Starting point is 01:08:27 I think he's also I think he was also wide open. Yeah, no He was I think they well the second touchdown was a good play by him He had some he had some contested catches for sure He I think I think my homes and Kelsey have the most Touchdown they do have touchdowns now and they've done it in what five and a half six years. They've got 16 That's the most for any quarterback receiver duo. That's any NFL postseason. I'll get two weeks ago. Yeah, that's insane They're so good Patch mom's is so good. He's just he's inevitable. He has reached that inevitable point
Starting point is 01:09:00 How does it feel Hank watching it from the outside seeing like this is how other people felt about the Patriots now This is what the Mahomes and the Chiefs are like it is Every single year book them in the AFC championship game no matter what yeah, I feel and I even to I said I feel really bad for Buffalo fans like this is what it was like for everyone that was watching Fucking sucks. Yeah, like that sucks. I'm not even you didn't realize you were like that. And this was suck. You've learned and to be on the side, obviously, you know, I'm just a casual fan, you know, don't care one way or the other that much
Starting point is 01:09:37 to be an actual fan of of the bills in this situation would be would be devastating. Well, they I'm ready to say that they have to make a change at Coach. Who? I think they need to move on in a different direction. There's just too much sadness that's falling. If you're a coach, some coaches eat those losses. Some coaches just absorb them into their bodies and get sad and they carry that baggage with them for forever. Sean McDermott has just, he's been around for too many bad moments.
Starting point is 01:10:08 You need to change the vibe in that locker room. I don't know what else you can do because there was no, yes, there's a million plays in a game and you can point to it, like I said, Josh Allen misses that touchdown throw at the end of the game, digs, you know, the catch goes through his hair, the ball goes through his hands on that deep shot. Damar Hamlin, what a move, what a move. I mean, it was a check. They had the look. They had the look.
Starting point is 01:10:33 They talked about the look in practice and they got it. Holy shit. They said just in case they don't line up 11 players on special teams, Damar was going to call his own number. That was a strong add. I thought Travis Kelsey was doing, he did the Taylor Swift heart that she vented. I thought he was just taunting Damar Ham.
Starting point is 01:10:50 He was, he was, but you can't, what else can you do? I mean, you could say, oh, the bill's defense was hurt, but so the Chiefs lost like three starters in the middle of this game. So it's like, you can't, there's no real thing that you can point to like, oh, we were this step away this step away no no it's Patrick Mahomes and what he does is he wins playoff games and I think we all had the feeling when we were watching it we're like Mahomes gonna win this game is somehow some way because that's what he does. Yeah. And it's just it's insane. Yeah I had that feeling
Starting point is 01:11:20 pretty much the entire game when it was whoever has the bowl last felt like was gonna win well guess who that usually is in these types of games it's usually Mahomes and he usually wins the game. Josh Allen ran like a goddamn beast today though he played well he had that nice little lateral that he did in the first half proving that it works and then at the end of the game he had a very costly fumble that could have been way way worse like it was a bad time to fumble the football and he got lucky that Kingcaid reached out and grabbed it. That was really though,
Starting point is 01:11:48 because the bills recovered that one. The game was pretty clean other than to Mark Hamlin calling his own number, which was negated by Nicole Harbman fumbling out of the end zone. So it was like, it was, like I said, I don't know what you can do if you're a bills fan. You're just, Patrymahomes is better
Starting point is 01:12:05 and he's gonna be better for a very long time and that's just the reality of it, which sucks. It'd be so cool. So much if you're a Bill's fan. It'd be so cool if Josh was in the NFC and we got to see this game in the Super Bowl all the time. That was also part of it. We had a conversation during the game
Starting point is 01:12:19 where it's like watching Josh Allen and Patrymahomes and Lamar Jackson, even CJ Stroud in these playoffs, you're like, you need to just take a shot at a guy who has that ceiling. Because I just can't envision my team, your team, Hank's team playing in those type of games right now. It would stink, it would really, really stink.
Starting point is 01:12:39 It's a fact. Like you know it, you know watching that, or it's like, yeah, this is different football. Oh yeah, it's a different sport. Oh, will you? Definitely, I wouldn't count. Watch out, kill Williams. Hank, what's her bet?
Starting point is 01:12:54 Hank and I made a bet, this was when we had a gambling partner so we couldn't talk about it on the air, I think it was Patriots, no, no, Patriots will make the Super Bowl in the next five years yes or no. If yes then I owe Hank $50,000 if no then Hank goes me $20,000. Yeah, that was do we do that in the summer? Yeah, that was before before. Yes, before you were still on Mac Jones. It was after we dug out. I was still on Mac Jones. I didn't have the season I just had. Yeah, that was that. But yeah, we'll get there.
Starting point is 01:13:27 New coach, top three pick. You're down one year already. You've got four years left. Yeah, but look how fast the Lions did it. The Lions aren't in the Super Bowl. But they're close. We can get there. There's a path.
Starting point is 01:13:39 Let's make the playoffs. There's a path. Get to the Super Bowl. That is the path, correct. How we're going to get there, I'm still. It's a path. Get to the Super Bowl. That is the path, correct. How we're gonna get there, I'm still, yeah. It would be very tough to make the Super Bowl if you didn't make the playoffs. There's a path, there's a path.
Starting point is 01:13:52 Let's do, I think there, it's the very, very vocal minority that of, it's that one guy, OJ McDuffie on his like stan account, tweets me nonstop because he doesn't want us to say anything nice about any other quarterback so let's do a Patrick Mahomes crazy stats because there will still be some Kansas City fans who be like you guys didn't give us enough credit even though I think we spent the last 10 minutes saying Patrick Mahomes is the best quarterback on earth. He might be the best quarterback to ever play. He's on pace to
Starting point is 01:14:21 be. Fact or fiction Hank. How many super rules? He's on pace. be. Fact or fiction Hank. How many Super Bowls? He's on pace. I actually have one stat for you Hank that's a crazy Patrick Mahomes stat but then a backdoor Tom Brady stat. You ready for it? Patrick Mahomes is 8-2 in the playoffs from down 7 plus points, which is insane. Yeah. Two losses were to Tom Brady. There you go.
Starting point is 01:14:39 But here's some Patrick Mahomes stats. Josh Allen is 17-0 in his career when he doesn't have a turnover. He's now 17-1. Patrick Mahomes is the one. Patrick Mahomes is in his sixth full season. Patrick Mahomes has never not played in the AFC Championship game. That's as a starter.
Starting point is 01:14:57 As a starter. Yes. Yes, six full seasons. I don't count his first season as one of the seasons. He has never not played in the AFC Championship game. That's fucking insane. Yeah, it would be so awesome to have Patrick Boehm's. He's just, it's just every single year and he's so good in every big moment, he just shows up.
Starting point is 01:15:15 And yeah, he's a thief of joy for everyone else in the NFL. But God damn it, Kansas City fans. It must be, tell me how it feels. Cause I know, like I said, there's a vocal minority that's like, constantly like, we need more credit. I think most Kansas City fans are just sitting back being like, this is awesome. Every year is awesome.
Starting point is 01:15:34 Even when you look bad during the regular season, which the chiefs did look bad, it doesn't matter. It's just, and you had that too some years where it's like you have down down regular seasons but when it comes to January there's going to be a guy who's there every single year and his name is Patrick Holmes. But counterpoint if they don't win the Super Bowl this year then they're starting to get into squander the window opportunity. I mean the window is so large for him. They got a huge win. They're going to change the whole team like Patrick Holmes is going to play with an entirely different roster five years from
Starting point is 01:16:08 now and still be doing it. It's like Wes Welker and Randy Moss. So you're gonna start taking less money though. Like different eras. Yeah besides Travis Kelsey and Pacheco at their skill positions this year they have nobody where she rice is nice and he's getting better but like you saw with Nicole Hardman you give he can't trust most of the guys he passed to MBS had some nice catches today but you still can't trust that like their receivers next year won't be worse they won't be any worse they Tony probably be better Tony won this game by sitting out I don't know if he was like coach you can't play me or what happened with that but it was a
Starting point is 01:16:42 miracle that he wasn't playing because that would been very bad for them they're gonna be better at wide receiver next year they'll have some guys that can catch the ball and it's like right now all that stuff that we've seen from the chiefs this entire season all the big holes that they have it doesn't matter because you're in the AFC championship game and now it's Lamar Jackson and Patrick Mahomes it's like you still have Patrick Mahomes to go to the Super Bowl you're in a pretty fucking good spot. And he's doing, like again, he's kind of proving your point, Hank, like he's doing it with a team that's not as good
Starting point is 01:17:13 as it was three years ago, he's still doing it. Like these receivers are not good. Rishi Rice has gotten very good, but like his cast of characters are less than when he won a Super Bowl a couple years ago And he's still back in the AFC Championship. It's just yeah, no, I'm not I'm not he's on pace But there's a long way to go. Yes, like you can be on pace You can have a good first lap, but I would bet on Patrick Malm's because
Starting point is 01:17:37 Every time I somehow have a future going up against him it goes up in flames When we're still doing this show 10 years from now, you will find no bigger Patrick Mahomes hater than Hank Lockwood. That might have to start pretty soon, Harry. That's true, you're gonna have to start getting your made on. Have you thought about that? Like when are you gonna start hating Mahomes?
Starting point is 01:17:53 I've never liked him. Really? See I've always liked him. He just, it's more like- Like he's good quarterback, he's fun to watch, but obviously like they were a big, they were a rival of ours. He's a nice guy, he's come on the show. Like I don't hate him personally, but yeah, I don't want him to keep winning Super Bowls out like
Starting point is 01:18:10 Wins that's fair if you wins this Super Bowl then it's it's then it's then it's threat level midnight. It's a good time to slander. Yeah You get an amp that hate up I'm looking forward to you I you know what this is gonna be good for us because Hank will be our shield on this podcast. Yes. So any Kansas City fan that thinks that we don't like the Chiefs. It's actually not me and big cat. We love Patrick Mahomes. Right. Is this guy who's injecting all of his anti Mahomes proton Brady bias into it. If you do it this time it's a good time to slam. If he wins the Super Bowl with these wide receivers. It really does prove the point that that makes no sense. that's I can't makes a lot of sense. Hey, the Patriots have notoriously like not had good wide receivers Julian Edelman is a great Ryder-ceiver. I was Randy Mollister a haul. They didn't win a Super Bowl. So that's not doesn't really say anything
Starting point is 01:18:58 When I was reminiscing the other day about check left you have to say you have to say G, the 28 to 3 game. You have to say Gronk. 28 to 3 game. I was shocked with the receivers. Like I kind of forgot. Obviously it was Edelman. Well, James White caught 14 balls. Chris Hogan. Where'd he go to school? The U, diversity of Wisconsin.
Starting point is 01:19:17 There we go. But the Patriots, like there's been many examples. Gronk didn't play in every single Super Bowl. Like that 28 to 3 game, it was Edelman, Amondola, Chris Hogan. But that's the one. Amondola was pretty good. No, I know.
Starting point is 01:19:30 I'm not saying they're bad. I'm just saying like. Are you saying white players are a good wide receiver side? Malcolm Mitchell, 6 for 70. But here's the thing. What I'm saying. What did he do after that, Jake?
Starting point is 01:19:38 But my point is nothing. He was telling us Bennett at five matches. Petromoam's getting to the AFC championship with this group. And I'm not dissing him. Roo's that he's just going to be there every single year. He was only hundred years old. So the AFC championship with this group and I'm not dissing that he's just going to be there every single year. He's only in the league for two years. Yeah, but but he was making crucial catches. But Mahomes is going to be here every single year because he's proving that he can get here every single year.
Starting point is 01:19:56 For sure. And you know how it is. Like AFC Championship games, they're kind of coin flip games. Like you can't just guarantee but like getting to the AFC Championship game every year means that you have a shot every single year to win a Super Bowl, and that's what he's gonna do. That just his presence is gonna do that. That, I got a little triggered. That point is correct that it proves he's gonna do it,
Starting point is 01:20:16 but it also was true for Brady. Like Brady also, you know, just got there wherever he had. I'm saying that's what, I'm agreeing with you. I think it's a mirror image where like the chiefs are gonna turn over the roster two or three times in his career and It doesn't matter because it's Patrick Holmes. Yeah, they're gonna have all new guys like we'll be ten years from now Doing the show and you'll be the number one Patrick Holmes behavior and PFT now would be like this is crazy How he keeps doing it and they'll have a bunch of guys that are like in middle school
Starting point is 01:20:45 right now playing on his team and winning and going to the AFC Championship game and winning Super Bowls. Think about that. There's going to be guys, there's a kid right now, maybe a kid who's listening to this show who's 12 years old, who's going to be catching balls from Patch from Holmes in an AFC championship game in year 2035. Like winning the home's last Super Bowl on the way out of town. That is how good Patrick from Homes is. That's the mind blowing part.
Starting point is 01:21:11 There's a 13-year-old right now who will be Patrick from Homes main target in the 2035 AFC championship. Maybe digs. Maybe digs. Maybe wrong. Yeah, so I guess what I'm saying is my hope is that you know, they they lose you know They lose this year. They don't win the Super Bowl and then
Starting point is 01:21:29 Just Joe burrow or Josh Allen they can beat him once and then maybe the next Mahomes comes along and like After it all it's all said and done. It's like he was the best quarterback of all time So talented, but he only won like three Super Bowls. That's the path. You need Joe. You need Joe. Three is a lot of Super Bowls, by the way. Yeah, that's a decent amount. It's a ton. Imagine having double that amount of Super Bowls. I would love to have the statement,
Starting point is 01:21:52 only three Super Bowls. My life would be so much better if I had even a three Super Bowls. Yeah, it was one of those moments where you don't realize the privilege you're talking from. You only won three Super Bowls. Big Head Eye were extremely complimentary of the Kansas City Chiefs. Unfortunately, Hank Lock you only won three. Big head eye were extremely complimentary of the Kansas City Chiefs.
Starting point is 01:22:06 They unfortunately Hank Lockwood had to slander Patrick Mahomes. That's unfortunate, but it's to be expected. But I do want to hear from Chiefs fans because I assume most Chiefs fans are just sitting back being like this fucking rocks, every year rocks, and you know that it's gonna rock for the next decade.
Starting point is 01:22:21 Yeah, it is pretty cool. It's pretty damn cool. A lot of pressure though. A lot of pressure. All right, so let's talk about the games real quick, just initial reaction. Before we do that, PFT do a couple of ads and then we will, let's talk, maybe play
Starting point is 01:22:35 whose lines in any way and quickly talk about the championship games, which we'll talk about a lot more this week. Part of my take is sponsored by BetterHelp.

Starting point is 01:24:50 Okay. I did see the line so I will recuse myself. If you guys want to guess what they are, I will tell you. I know. You know them? Okay. You have to, you guess. All right. I'm going to say San Francisco is favored by five and a half. Ooh. You got an edge in your model because the Niners
Starting point is 01:25:12 are favored by seven. Seven. OK. I do have an edge. You love the line. I think I so, I mean, can Brock play outdoors? That's the big discussion. And so on the other side, I'm going to say the Ravens by three and a half.
Starting point is 01:25:27 Yes, you're right. It opened at three. That to three and a half. Okay. Yeah, that makes sense because the bills were two and a half today. And so the Ravens, I imagine are factored into that as being a little bit better. Yeah. I, even though we just did that whole talk about how incredible the chiefs are in Patrick Holmes
Starting point is 01:25:46 I did while watching that game I was like the big winner here is the Ravens because it felt like everyone got injured on both sides of the ball I don't know what the chief's injuries will look like but they I think there was three offensive starters that went out or defense Defensive starters it went out at various points of the game and the Ravens have that extra day and they had a week off and their defense is not the same as what the chiefs faced in the dolphins or the bills. And again, I say all this knowing the Patrick Holmes is inevitable. Yeah, I mean, everything I know, I know, I know, I know, I know everything you said and you could I could tell you could get that guy
Starting point is 01:26:24 that you just described plus money Yeah, no, it's he's he's I think eight and three is an underdog like he's he's yeah You got a bit cheap the reason I have I have a Ravens future, but I know that it's in a very it's the same thing I'm gonna be doing deja vu on Friday. What I say on the show I think the chiefs are gonna win the game against the bills on Friday this week I'm gonna say I think she's gonna win this game, but I have to just, I'm just riding with it. The Ravens defense is much, much better than the Bilstein. Yes.
Starting point is 01:26:49 Way better. And it's going to be Lamar is going to have to, Lamar is going to have to be, you know, great Lamar, which he's been all year. Mm hmm. And I believe in him. But yeah, Chiefs, I mean, Pat from Holmes is a three and a half point underdog. How do you not take that? It's going to have to be a little remarkable. He's going to have to be remarkable.
Starting point is 01:27:05 And it's for the Lions, I feel like the Lions could win that game. Yeah, yeah, they can. They definitely can. I think the Lions are way better than the Packers. Right now, at this moment, I know they played this year, but I think the Lions are on a hot streak right now. The defense looks great,
Starting point is 01:27:22 way better than it did back on Thanksgiving. Yeah. So it's back on Thanksgiving. Yeah. So it's anything's possible. I'm gonna take the Lions, I'm telling you that right now. And I think I might take the Ravens. I might take the Ravens. It's crazy. It's crazy.
Starting point is 01:27:38 It's insane. It's insane. It's insane move. It's a once in a generation quarterback. It's gonna be like 10 years. Oh, I like what he's doing. We hit him with some. No, I hit myself. No, but we hit him. But once in once in a generation quarterback We hit him we hit him with no I hit myself no, but we hit you guys are just literally hurt. He's hurt right now gargling He's hurt We can't we get accused of glazing Patrick. Yeah
Starting point is 01:27:59 In the history of this show was you guys just talking about Patrick. Oh, yeah The guys go straight. He's been only been in the history of this show was you guys just talking about Patrick oh yeah just go the guys go straight he's been only been in the AFC championship game he's never not been in the AFC championship it's insane thanks mad right now thanks so Hank does love a plus sign yeah but I get it but you're we hit it we struck a chord we finally I think what's like you're saying he's like we find it he's not gonna make the Super Bowl now people is that good now people are lost to Joe Burrow already lost a little more Jackson I think we finally passed the test when people are like you guys don't talk enough about how great the chiefs are
Starting point is 01:28:30 They were right because we had to hit the Hank test the minute we got Hank mad Means that we've done our job talking about how great the chiefs are we've put Patrick We put Patrick Holmes in the proper historical context. We did we finally at like I feel like we finally No, I said I know but the proper historical context. We did. We finally, like I feel like we finally hit the. Yeah. Probably going to be the Ravens. No, I said the Chiefs. No, I know. But PFT has set me off. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:28:50 Sorry. Listen, Hank, I feel what I feel. Also, Hank, one thing you should know is I'm a terrible gambler. Yeah. So if I'm saying I like the Ravens, you should know I am giving Patrick Mahomes enough credit in my own sick way because I'm so bad at betting. Here's what's going to happen if the Ravens you should know I am giving Patrick Mahomes enough credit in my own sick way because I'm so bad at betting
Starting point is 01:29:06 Here's what's gonna happen if the if the if the chiefs win on Sunday I'm just gonna have to make a literal graveyard Maybe put it behind me and it's just Patrick Mahomes smiling in its Eagles 22 to 1 bills 35 to 1 Ravens 18 to 1 Patrick Mahomes is the grim reaper for anything next year. I'm gonna just put my kids 2014 draft or 2017. Okay, don't do that. 2014. Don't do that. Next year I think I'm just going to put my kids,
Starting point is 01:29:31 responsibly my kids college education on the Chiefs to win the Super Bowl, no matter what the price in August. And just be like, I don't care. We already declared that they won the AFC West next year. You guys had me set the reminder that I told you and you're like,
Starting point is 01:29:43 ah screw that. No. Yeah, because we're dumb. Yeah. Well, I was very dumb. I just never gonna do a future in the oh, and the the Bengals too. I forgot the Bengals last year too. He's killed that. He just slays him. He's really good Hank. But what about the Ravens? Great. I love it. Oh, no, I'm just with you. I'm with you I'm with you convince me like I'm I'm going to unload on the chiefs it's a he's a underdog how can I was that proposition and he can win on the road yeah we found that out today yeah
Starting point is 01:30:21 Paddingham homes can fix the economy. Just be an underdog. Yeah. Everyone can be a millionaire tomorrow. We should actually make that TikTok. Here's how I made a million. I took a mortgage out of my house and then I bet on patchworm homes and underdog. Hustle.

It's a clean look. I have a question for you guys about our dear friend Tony Romo. Is he rocking hair plugs? Yeah
Starting point is 01:34:49 Yeah, you said that that would kind of that would kind of take him down a notch I'd like that he's got a little there's a little car ravage separation between the poof and the scalp I noticed Yeah, I don't know somebody keep an eye on by the way, but since we're doing crazy stats I completely forgot about this. Did you guys see that Christian McCaffrey on? Saturday he scored two touchdowns. He now has 23 touchdowns this year. Does he really in the years 2023? That's wild wild Pretty crazy. I'm pretty cool. Yeah, pretty cool My who's back of the week is the pit is why I was rooting for Buffalo today for their pit Have you guys heard about the legend of the pit? Well, and also we can't get
Starting point is 01:35:27 Josh Allen's dick out of our mouth. That's true. Hang on. Pull it out. It's crazy. We can podcast. I got some pubes in my teeth. Yeah, the pit in Buffalo or in Orchard Park is the new hotness for pregame activities. So apparently it started, it actually started, I think it's September this year, remember we did that story about the Bill's fan that was like tripping on all sorts of psychedelics and went down there and had to be evacuated and arrested because he was like covered in human extramint. He was covered in shit and he was like tripping balls on acid. And for the past five weeks at home games, there's been a different Bill's fan
Starting point is 01:36:05 that's jumped down into the pit to the point where they have had to put up fences all around and have security being like, you have to stay out of this pit. Stay out of the pit, you might get seriously injured or die if you go in the pit. Bill's mafia doesn't give a fuck. Now it's a challenge to them.
Starting point is 01:36:18 Now it's like, well, I gotta get in that fucking pit. We're on a hot streak right now. So today before the game, there was a Bill's fan that jumped down into the pit again that's gonna be a tradition it's gonna be the new jumping off there's really no difference between jumping like onto a table and shattering it then jumping into the pit it's the same thing it's like here's something that you shouldn't do right well guess what I'm gonna do it because I'm drunk enough yeah so that tradition
Starting point is 01:36:40 it rocks I predict is going to continue in Buffalo big-time yeah get down we had to go down the pit It was going to go in the pit on that pit. Yeah, the pits back. All right. My who's back. I got two the first is Tara van derver Stanford head coach she broke the record for winning his coach in college basketball history She's always been my goat coach coach T is what I call her You can't make an argument that she's not the greatest college basketball coach of all time. It's unassailable.
Starting point is 01:37:09 Van Der Veer. Whatever. She deserves the Goat. She deserves the Number 7. Not as many wins as Tara Van Der Veer. Do you know? Not as many wins. Name some more college coaches. Yeah. Go ahead. Who else could even be close Kim Oki not as many wins anyone on the men's side Dean Smith nope not as many wins John John wooden house though.

She coached the Olympics to Probably. Sure. Probably how many gold medals she probably doesn't need that pad. She probably didn't force her way to keep coaching the Olympics when it's very clear that you coach for one cycle and that's it is that it does she die or hair let's see no nope she doesn't why would you start up you know why would you start oh she did coach in the Olympics yes fuck yeah she won a gold gold in 96 in Atlanta yes wait just and then she yeah because she had that she understood you
Starting point is 01:38:24 don't just sit on this job and keep coaching the Olympics so that you can get fucking LeBron to FaceTime or recruit and be like come to Stanford. Got it. Interesting. That's what I was gonna say. And then my other who's back is also coaches Nick Siriani. I think he's gonna keep his job. So, congrats. Yay. I'm excited for him. Good coach. Pugs iffy.
Starting point is 01:38:48 Pugs iffy. If there's one person that can fix the mess that Nick Siriani has created, it's Nick Siriani. Yeah. Yeah. He's probably got like. Mike can then say pug. He's probably got some cool trust fall or something.

Congrats to Nick Siriani. Yeah. It's hard to keep your job in the sleep. It is. Max Congrats coach sir. Yeah, I coach s. Jake said it. Oh, you didn't want to say congrats. Okay. I'm happy continuity is important.
Starting point is 01:39:37 Yeah, look at the Steelers. Yeah. If Brian Johnson is also back, it's gonna. Okay, so this is who we're not rooting for to come back. What are you gonna do? It's just on the it's just on the 2025 okay What did you guys think about the Caitlyn Clark situation? Oh flop I saw who's back of the week is debates about court storm Oh, yeah, it's nice flop So it was a flop. I saw the alternate angle. It was a flop. Caitlin Clark, who is the goat in women's college basketball.
Starting point is 01:40:09 How many wins? I don't know exactly, but. What about Candace Parker? She's the active goat, we can say that. Dying to Ross. Sue Bird. Active in women's college basketball. Iowa, they lost two.
Starting point is 01:40:23 Wait, what, Angel Reese? She's the goat? She's won a title then. Okay. college basketball. Iowa they lost to Angel Reese. She's the goat? She's won a title then. Okay. Angel Reese beat her. Okay, you got me. She's got one shit. Right? It's like my home's in Josh Allen. The most exciting women's college basketball player right now.
Starting point is 01:40:38 You're Caitlyn Clark-Glazer. Yeah. Wow. Quick-Glazer. She doesn't want shit. She's like Doug McDermott. She's a choke artist. She's a great college basketball player. Yeah So I very very good lost at Ohio State Ohio State storm the court and There was a little bit of a wait. Is there an alternate? Can I see it? Yeah, there was a collision. I didn't see the alternate. I saw the main one that I was like that's a flop Okay, who's our kids? What's the name of our second best college football reporter?
Starting point is 01:41:11 Brandon Walker yeah, go to his Twitter timeline he has that video pulled up I'm gonna pull it up. He's I mean I I knew it was a flop from the regular angle. He's a second Mike on mostly sports Oh my god And all it's like reverse assault. Yeah, no, she pushed her. Yeah. So she fell to the ground, grabbed her head and then she got she got apologized to by Ohio State's athletic. Oh my god. She leaned into the contact. The girl was just running, minding her own business and Kayla Clark shoved her and then just did a pirouette and fell. This is insane. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:41:46 I want to, I gotta go, our friend Hawkeyes, I gotta see what he's probably having a meltdown. I actually, I put part of the blame on Caitlin Clark for the flop and the other part of the blame on Ohio State University because, and I'm usually completely in favor of court storming. Ohio State, come on. You're Ohio State. Yeah. Come on. Act like you've been there before.
Starting point is 01:42:10 All court storming is good court storming. Yeah. They can't, they can't beat Michigan's. They gotta do it somehow. This is, uh, I think he pivoted once he saw the extra flaw. Also Ohio State's ranked right now. Yeah. Well yeah well again I am in fact that's an old-time fly yeah oh my god like if you're a college kid you're having fun in a game definitely storm the court I'm saying it would be nice if Ohio State expected to win a game like that I'm mad now yeah the girl you like kind of tries to avoid it too justice for the other girl. Damn, that's bad. Cause Caitlyn Clark is one of,
Starting point is 01:42:46 she's so much fun to watch and she's so good at basketball. But, and it's, it's, I think we had this take last year. It's like, it's great that women's basketball has got a point where like people like are hating and like talking shit. That means that people care.
Starting point is 01:43:02 But there are a lot of people who hate Caitlyn Clark of other teams. This is gonna be just red meat for them. It's giving are a lot of people who hate Caitlyn Clark of other teams This is gonna be just red meat is is giving you a lot of material work. She's at a 45 today Well and lost that would be glazing That'd be like if we said Josh Allen played a perfect game he did not That's fact she has seven turnovers not a perfect how many shots did she miss Jake? She was I can't hear you over a dick in your mouth Fucking Glazer it is good though like yeah, you're almost 25 after the women's national championship game last year
Starting point is 01:43:33 It was that everyone was mad online arguing about the game right and treating it like you should treat right sports As opposed to just rooting for everyone and and hoping that everyone has fun in place Well a great lesson in life is sports should trigger you yes Sports should be... As opposed to just rooting for everyone and hoping that everyone has fun and plays well. A great lesson in life is sports should trigger you. Yes. You should be very triggered by the outcome of a sports. Right, like look at Hank. Right, exactly.
Starting point is 01:43:54 You should be able to... I was triggered when the bills lost. You should be able to talk for two hours after the games are over about how one game that has absolutely nothing to do with your favorite team makes you angry. Right. Because they might one day threaten the legacy of your favorite team.
Starting point is 01:44:07 You should get viscerally upset. You should want to like punch somebody in the face you get so mad about that. No, I'm not upset. I'm just upset when you have to listen and are succumbed to the glazing and the room next door just listening to. And then after that, they walk out and they're like,
Starting point is 01:44:24 yeah, that guy sucked. You would have sucked Tom Brady's dick listening to this and then after that they walk out and they're like yeah that guy sucked you would have sucked Tom Brady's dick in an instant if you asked you to yeah yeah it's a jail for him um but then I wouldn't reverse like I said and then go walk away my job is from our Jackson PFT we've done it we I apologize for all of the last six years of this show. Anyone who said that we did not treat the chiefs, give them as much respect as they deserve, you were right. Now you are wrong because we triggered Hank and that was the moment.
Starting point is 01:44:55 Yep. That was the moment it all crystallized where it's like, oh, okay, we've done it. Yeah. What a super ball. Yeah, Hank, you know what? You're gonna have to not only hate, you're gonna hate the chiefs entirely because You're gonna have to not only hate, you're gonna hate the Chiefs entirely
Starting point is 01:45:06 because you're gonna have to start hating the Holmes and if they win another Super Bowl, you're gonna have to start hating Andy Reed. You should start finding these 13 year olds that are gonna end up being on the Chiefs and start hating them early. Yeah. Get on the hate early.
