Music. Oh, did you think I forgot that I wasn't going to be here on Tuesday? And especially after the week of trash talking, the week and the fun that y'all had at the expense of the Baltimore Ravens, that I just wasn't going to come on here and just gloat? Hey, listen, I came live a little bit last night, just to you know, just to throw a little salt in the wound. But today I'm about to turn the knife completely. Oh, it's your boy.
Speaker 1:Ladies and gentlemen, I'm with the DK and Tree podcast and with the mighty Baltimore Ravens. Now, since the 49ers seem to have been the best team in football, I think we put that to rest last night. But those sponsors rolling at the bottom of the screen, I always give love to them. But hey, since we're on the winners' circle, let me bring somebody else's, and that's on the winners' circle. Oh, here's DJ on the winners' circle. Oh, hey, the mug is back. Oh, my God, we are back.
Speaker 1:Like I said, I kept receipts. I kept receipts. I listened to all the trash talk. I listened to everyone and I was just being nice with it, saying, hey, may the best team win. The two best teams in football are playing. I was being friendly with it. No, y'all was coming back with me. Oh no, it's bird hunting season. Oh, you know we doing this with the birds. I said, oh OK, no problem. I said, keep that same energy, it's Tuesday.
Speaker 1:What was the end result? The bullies got smacked around by the true bullies. Hey, jb, that's right, what a win. And the red cup? I kept receipts.
Speaker 1:Where are you 49ers fans? I mean, two came on last night and I gave them props for it. But where you at? Again, I'm giving you back all this energy you gave me. Come on in here and report to this podcast. But you know, I understand that I'm talking a whole lot about this because again, I saw, wait, wait. I got to use your saying for this one If you blinked, the Ravens had the ball back.
Speaker 1:If you blinked, the Ravens had the ball back. How can we explain this? Well, like I said, I kept receipts. Let's see, let's see, let's see OG skinny trail with the Bang Bang Niners gang and you standing on the Raven with the crow. I told you I kept receipts, ok, so let's see. I ain't going to pick where she came in last night. Oh yeah, lavance, lurie. Yeah, I wrote. Yeah, he was Birdhunting season. How did that work out for you? Oh yeah, like I said, I saw another one with the Birdhunting season says with the Ravens, they can't catch me.
Speaker 1:I kept receipts, all you professional analysts what was it? Almost 30, something out of 40 that said the Ravens would lose. Oh, all of them were backtracking. This morning, good morning, football was backtracking, speak was backtracking, even Shannon backtrack, oh. But Richard Sherman, oh, did you backtrack? Oh, listen, oh, it was just one game. Oh, just don't make no excuses. The 49ers got the ass whipped by the better team. I kept these receipts and none of them are in here to try to atone for it. But if y'all lost, they'd all been here. But I'm going to let you chime in on that one.
Speaker 2:Well, ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, I just want to say it feels great, because I personally want to celebrate me officially being out of the darkness retreat. It's been a long time coming. It's been a lot of sleepless nights and a lot of headaches and a lot of concern. We got out and here we are with the mug, with the light. It feels great. You know, by the way, to add fuel to the fire, those lovely 49ers, man oh man. Great team, great team. So great that they had not one but two MVPs on their team. So great that no one could beat them. So great that they're unbeatable. They're a cakewalk to the Super Bowl. So great. And then last night happens, and this is some lovely tea, let me just say this is some lovely tea.
Speaker 1:This is very good. Let me join you with some breath. I'm going to join you because, again, where, where is the same energy? A week ago, everyone's quiet, the whole universe is just all quiet. I'm like, oh, the dust is settled. And I said that we was going to leave cold in Santa Clara. And we did. We left cold in Santa Clara. We were the Grinch, and oh boy, by the way, that I love, the end zone celebration with Zay Fly was unlikely. That was awesome. Kicked the door in, took the presents and ran away.
Speaker 2:Hey, hey look, hey look, let me tell you this Brock Ferdy, my friend, my guy, my boy, hey, hey, you are, you are. You must not like this thing called pressure, do you? It must really bother you, huh, it must bother you. So much Did you decide to throw not one, not two yeah, I'm starting to sound like LeBron right now. Not three, but four interceptions, bro. What are you? Zach Wilson, the hell's going on out here. It was insane. And oh, by the way, just to add one for good measure, the backup Sam Darno comes in, and just to add an already established game by the Ravens defense. Let's put a star on it, let's put a tree on top. I'm throwing interception too. So now it's an interception galore in Santa Clara and Levi Stadium. I got to admit man, look and and and look. I'm not going to celebrate this because you don't want anybody getting hurt, but I've had private conversations with a lot of these non-defense not told them Look, y'all may be dominant, but if there's one thing that gets in your way, it's this thing called health.
Speaker 1:And we saw some players go down like on tonight.
Speaker 2:We saw Perti go out of there and I got to say, y'all want to be y'all, y'all can play this. Oh, we still a dominant team. Or y'all want to let one of y'all play as Garrett? It might be a different story.
Speaker 1:It might be a different story and I don't wish anyone getting hurt and I've always said this. You know, speedy recovery to anyone that was in that game that may have got hurt last night. I'm much speedy recovery because, again, them boys played their hearts out both sides, both sides. But you know, here's one of the things that I looked at Did you see Chase Young looking like he was out of breath trying to chase Lamar Jackson? Yeah, yeah, lamar is a different level of speed. Okay, different level of speed. You can't catch that guy. If you wanted to.
Speaker 2:And you know something.
Speaker 1:But I got to get to the funny part. I got to get to the funny part. 49ers, Did y'all have to really pay to ref the trip him in the end zone? Come on then, Come on.
Speaker 2:Not even. Not even that man Can we discuss like Lamar wasn't even running at full speed last night.
Speaker 1:At full speed, at full speed.
Speaker 2:That's the grand bull that he had. He literally was speed-walking for 40 yards. What the hell? I was literally watching and I was like, okay, he's going down, okay, okay, he's looking to throw. He's looking to throw, okay, you're space, okay, all right. Oh, he's walking, oh, no, he's running. All righty, okay, 40 yards, got it, okay, cool. And Lamar just got up. It was so casual, like, this is just not full speed. I'm like what is this Flash in real life? What is going on here? I couldn't believe it. It was awesome, the best player on the field Out of everybody that was out there.
Speaker 2:All the famous everywhere, and the best player on that field was Lamar Jackson.
Speaker 2:Lamar Jackson Yet again, yet again, and I got to say Proving he's the best Proving I got to say y'all can play this game if y'all want to, but Lamar ain't this and Lamar ain't that. Y'all can sit up there and say, both more is this, both more ain't that? I'm here to tell you right now. You're looking at MVP, you're looking at number one seed in the AFC. Ooh, that's a bar. I'm going to put that on my next, on my next single. It's coming out pretty soon and, and we might, we might just stop playing with Lamar and have him as the best quarterback player right now. I just think. I just think that that that doesn't even need to be a discussion at this point.
Speaker 1:Because, he's better than any quarterback that you have on the Pittsburgh Steelers. Okay, see your comments.
Speaker 2:I'm just. I'm just saying, man, there ain't no one playing better than him right now. No one, no one, no, and it's not even close. The second best person is not even close to Lamar right now.
Speaker 1:Lamar is on a different level and he's on a mission. A mission, he's on a mission, yeah, and it's just showing on all sides of the ball with Baltimore Ravens. I didn't expect that team, but hey, herb was on here and he sent me that screenshot and said I predicted this and he was damn close when he said 41 to 17 and we disagreed with it. Yeah, yeah, he was damn close.
Speaker 2:I remember us doing that. Yeah, he is like.
Speaker 1:I thought that would be a lot closer. Wow, we just smacked around the bullies on their playground and we took their presence and we left you home. We left you cold. So enjoy all that cold. We left out there in Santa Clara because, guess what, you're not the best team in football anymore. We are, and we proved it. They felt disrespected. They felt as though, oh, you just countin' us out all together. Everybody disrespected the Ravens when they did that and you just made those guys angry. You made them angry. So, guess what, they came out and they just did what they needed to do and, like I said, hey, and that's right, you rep your team, you rep your THCA. I'm not mad at you, but I only props I give to him because he said to me man, I think y'all gonna beat us. He said it, I think you're gonna beat us. And I said, man, I think it's gonna be a good game, it's gonna go down to the wire. The Ravens yes, they went off again. Them guys were mad. That reminded me of that 2000 defense.
Speaker 1:Reminded me because they was smacking people around like nah, okay, we in your house, but yeah, we gonna show you who's here. The Ravens are coming.
Speaker 2:Yes.
Speaker 1:The Ravens are coming. So, but it's all, it's all good, it's all good. Ravens Nation stood up and the speaking of Ravens Nation. Man, I saw a lot of people going to the game, a lot of people. I met some people when I was in Denver. They was like, oh, I'm going to the game in Nevada, I'm going to the game. Oh, they were traveling. Ravens Nation stood up and traveled big time, going to Santa Clara.
Speaker 1:Wow, much propped to everybody that made it to that game, because I don't sure I wanted to go but I couldn't make it. But that's okay, that is okay. I was here to watch it. I was excited and this lovely shirt that I had here my daughter gave this to me for Christmas this was my lucky Ravens shirt that prevailed us over there all the way out. So my daughter gave me that shirt and it was the Kryptonite shirt of the 49ers. Oh, wow.
Speaker 1:But again, if anyone's just coming, if you missed it, if you blink, the Ravens had the ball back. What more can I say? The Ravens took care of business. Now we got two more games. We got two more games and we're taking one game at a time. One game at a time. Why did the Eagles struggle with the job. We're going to get to that. We're going to get to that. We're going to get to it, we're going to get to it. I just have to get off all these receipts. I had to give off because, I'm telling you, the trash talk was unbelievable with me. I was actually being nice about it. I went talking trash. I was like what's up with it. It's going to go down to the wire. It's going to be a great game and I'm going to get props where props is due. But I tell you, just like this, I didn't expect that shellacking to happen last night.
Speaker 2:That was a shellacking.
Speaker 1:Like I said, if you blink. Brock Purdy threw an interception.
Speaker 1:And I saw another post when they said, oh, you know, his arm was tipped and it was this thing. Oh no, no, no, no, a better team one? No, it's the answer. But I wouldn't make any excuses. Ravens would have lost that game. I would have came on here and said what do you know? Y'all handled us. Y'all handled us, you took care of it, you take care of business. You were the better team. I went up, I'm going to eat it. I'm going to eat it, plain and simple. And you're absolutely right, y'all still a number one seed over there. You're absolutely right. It didn't impact y'all whatsoever, it's just. This was the game of the year that everybody was waiting for, and now that's over. So now let's get to these playoffs in two weeks and let's see how it all goes down. Hey, if it's us at the end, it's up to the end. If we have to sit on the couch, we sit on the couch. Hey, listen, someone's going to make it there. Two teams are going to make it.
Speaker 2:And I hope you're going to be watching.
Speaker 1:Like I said if you blink, if you blink, brock Purdy gave us the ball back. Turn the night night. I'm turning the night not even being nice tonight. All in all, great game. No matter what games you play, great game. So, ravens, we stood up, you know, and, like I said, all the people that were talking trash to me ain't no way to be found and which I expected, you know, it's like when they it was probably me. I'm gonna stay away from this post. I'm gonna stay away from this live. I'm gonna stay away from all of this. I told you I have receipts. I told you I'm coming for you, I'm coming and I give you a plea for that. For you know, hc, I'm not even talking about you, not talking about you. No, I know you here. Celeste was here. Y'all, I give y'all props. I give y'all props whatsoever, cause y'all stood up to your team. It's the other ones I'm talking about. That's all. They know where to be found. They'll probably text me after this show goes on. Hey man, you had to treat me like that.
Speaker 2:No no.
Speaker 1:You would have gave me the business if y'all would have won the game, so it's all good. Raven's great game, 49ers great game. It is what it is Like. I said anyone that got hurt in that game. I don't wish anyone getting hurt. I wish them a speedy recovery Because I do want to see everything going down to the wire in these playoffs. But hey, listen, I guess we were the bigger bullies that day.
Speaker 2:So it is what it is.
Speaker 1:It is what it is. Now we're going to move over to the eagles. Now Come on, sir. Oh, buddy, I'm going to drink that tea.
Speaker 2:Hey, I'll let you leave it off. Hey, look, it's no longer Iowa's canal, so no need to worry. All right, I'm actually able to function during this show. I'm actually doing a pretty good job, okay. So I'm good, I'm good. Okay, in case anybody's concerned or wondering, by the way, we barely won and you know what?
Speaker 2:I, after watching the game back three times, still don't know how to feel about that win. I really, I really don't, not even a lot of you, because on one end you could say well, the second half, the eagles are, they are starting to look like the team that we've seen all year, where they're just really, really, really hard to watch. And then you had moments, like the first half, where it looked like the eagles of old, like we've been waiting to see all year long. And you know what? Know what, man? I said this last week and it seems like it got even worse today. The eagles defense I'll say it before, I'll say it again and I'm pretty sure we're going to get a sound bite. We're going to get a sound bite for what I'm about to say about this eagles defense. But I said last week, I'll say it again the defense was stinky, okay, and this week was a great example of why we shouldn't have Brandon Graham and Fletcher Cox taking up a lot of the defensive snaps it was, yeah, it was hard to watch because they're both up in age and yet they're getting more snaps than Nolan Smith, who he drafted in this past year's draft to be one of our linebackers. He's barely getting any playing time and now we're not. We're getting confused with mixing in Jordan Davis and Bill and Carter putting them together. I don't know what the issue is with that. Don't even get me started with the back end. They suck. They play very bad right now and it's not looking good.
Speaker 2:But you know, we've kind of been saying that all year. So is that? But the running game looks solid. It looks. I said that beginning of the year. I'm going to say it again. Good things happen when Dallas Goddard gets the football and the running game is doing what it's supposed to.
Speaker 2:Okay, the play calling is still terrible. Okay, we're still doing those. Wide receiver screens is going absolutely nowhere. We're still doing the read option plays that are very predictable because everybody knows that you think Jalen's going to get it 65% of the time. No, which is why when they do it and Jalen goes up for a big run, like he did a couple of times this past.
Speaker 2:Yesterday it was actually pretty. It was pretty cool to see that. Not going to lie to you, it was pretty cool. And look, the offense still has a lot left to be desired. The defense is not awful and, in fact, you know what that's not even doing justice. Sorry God, it is stinky. Mmm, mmm, mmm, um.
Speaker 2:But with that being said, the parents of the rest of the league has shown us anything could happen. So we definitely could have lost the game. We should have lost the game, depending on what you talk to. But I'm actually going to be that fan of day where I don't care, because we got the win. A win is a win, and as long as we get these three wins in a row and we have Dallas to lose again and we have 49ers to lose again, which probably ain't going to happen. But hey, I could dream. I could dream and I could pray.
Speaker 2:Okay, if all of these things could go in line, you know what it was worth being in a darkness retreat. It was worth being in those sleepless nights to where I couldn't figure out a way to enjoy being an Eagles fan. I could actually go to sleep at night now. Thank you, thank you. It took a giant win, so I don't care, I don't care, I'm going to be that fan of day, all right, it took a lot for me to get out of this place. Now I'm out and now I'm going to enjoy it and I'm going to ask them to go with it, Cause now all the teams that need to lose, they lost, and the teams that won, they won. So I'm going to enjoy this team, I'm going to enjoy this show and I'm going to be that Eagles fan today, because you know what, sometimes it is okay to be okay.
Speaker 1:It is all right. I see you PJ say for beating the giants, yeah.
Speaker 2:Yes, you want to know why. You want to know why? Because there are certain teams that had a division game over the course of the weekend that they couldn't beat. That they couldn't beat, like I don't know, a team in Kansas City, but you know what we don't have to go there right now.
Speaker 1:Oh, we getting in them necks.
Speaker 2:I'm just saying there are certain teams in the division. I keep telling y'all these division games are very weird. They're very weird. Anything can happen. Shoot, shoot, shoot.
Speaker 2:Two weeks ago we just saw the giants play against the Saints and it did absolutely nothing offensively. They're going against us Now. They're their first team on pro. They're one of the best teams in the league. So the division games are weird. We all know this and we pulled it out.
Speaker 2:And now we're going to go to Arizona. We're going to actually my bad. Either way. We're playing Arizona. We're going to beat Arizona. That's the plan, okay. And we're going to beat the giants. We're going to get a little bit hot. We're going to get a little bit hot again. Okay, going to the playoffs. Stop feeling really good about ourselves and, depending on who we play, might be one and done. But you know what? I'm a basketless girl. I'm a basketless right now because that's what's needed. All right, we needed the win, cause could you imagine what would have happened if the Eagles lost this game? Cause you know what Everybody want to talk about? Oh, it's against the giants. Could you imagine if we lost against the giants? Could you imagine if we lost against the giants? I'm playing right now. This show would not be the same.
Speaker 2:I'm playing this show and not be the same.
Speaker 1:Oh no.
Speaker 2:So I'm going to enjoy this with the tee, with the mug, and I know we're past Christmas now, so you know, the sweater don't do it justice, but I don't care. There, a win is a win. We did what we needed to do, we got the job done and now we just need to carry this momentum into the playoffs Be careful momentum into the playoffs, and we're good, we're good. I'm going to be that Eagles fan today Cause I deserve it. I deserve it, I deserve it.
Speaker 1:We got you out of that dog retreat.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I deserve it. So I'm going to be that fan today. I'm sorry, and if y'all don't like it, I got two words for you and I'm not going to say it on this show because I don't want to get demonetized. So you know the phrase. For those that are wrestling fans, you know what I'm going to say the DX, yeah, rock's top and all. Yeah, I'm going to be that fan today.
Speaker 1:You know something. You know something. I'm not even mad at you, because I was feeling the same way last night. We probably would have lost that game. Oh yeah, I'm going to be that fan today. Ok, I'm just saying Wait, wait. She said, kelsey said I'm sick of y'all. You know, I'm in the darkest retreat. Yeah, no, let's get. Let's, oh, let's get to the chiefs, let's get to the chiefs.
Speaker 2:Please, because now it is time for us to have a moment of silence, because it is time to say that the chiefs may be one and done.
Speaker 1:In the playoffs, you know what If they make it. If they make it.
Speaker 2:If they make it. Let's have a moment of silence for your 2023, 2024, Kansas City Chiefs.
Speaker 1:I give you some music.
Speaker 2:Mm, mm, mm, mm, mm.
Speaker 1:Mm, mm, mm, mm, mm. Oh yeah, that's enough music. Yeah, oh, my god, what the hell was that? We're done, we're done. Hey, if you blink real fast. The chiefs gave the ball back.
Speaker 2:Oh, my word, what? And I said this to you during the first quarter. I said what in the fumble fest is going on around here?
Speaker 1:Oh, yeah, absolutely.
Speaker 2:What in the world? What the hell is going on in Kansas City right now, by the way? By the way, by the way, talking to these fans up there, y'all can't blame Kaderi and Sony, because he was inactive and no one still to this day knows why he's inactive, because he wasn't even hurt. So there is no excuse for Tony today. We're not throwing straights at Tony today. So I really need to know what the hell is going on in Casey, because it's not even Tony's fault, no more.
Speaker 1:Well, I know what was wrong with Casey, because I heard this story again, because Taylor Swift was at this game. I heard this story again. So wait a minute. So she made Travis not catch the ball. I'm just saying Travis was fumbling, bob too. Oh, I can't catch this. Oh you know, can anyone on the Kansas City Chiefs catch the ball? Anybody, just one person. So this just all tells you this that they made a mistake of getting rid of Tyre Kill. Playing this simple. I'll do it a step further.
Speaker 1:They made a mistake of giving away Tyre Kill.
Speaker 2:I'll do it a step further. I'll do it a step further. They will rule the day that they decided to get rid of Eric Vietnep. Oh ho, they will rule the day that they got rid of that man, because now he is going to be a head coach of the Washington Commanders.
Speaker 1:All right, yes, tom, and.
Speaker 2:Bear is going to be out of a job. And when he becomes that head coach and he watches that offense go up and down the field. Because they went up and down the field this year. Say what you want about them, but they've been going up and down the field. They almost beat the Jets. Come back to beat them from down 27 to 7. But we don't have to talk about that.
Speaker 1:Oh, yeah, ok.
Speaker 2:Yep, they're going to look at that team next year and they're going to say, man, what do we need to do to get you back? Man, you know, y'all start to feel like us now. Now you're going to know how we feel, because now I want our coordinators back. And now y'all get to feel what we've been feeling. It don't feel too good, don't it? It don't feel too good, don't it, man, please? Y'all miss some Eric Biennamy. Y'all miss some EB right now.
Speaker 1:Wait a minute. Kelsey said we don't what you mean, you don't? Yeah, you do.
Speaker 2:Man, you do, and here's why I say that, though when you watch them, it is. I never thought I would say this about a cheese game this year. They are boring to watch. They're boring, they're boring.
Speaker 2:They only get creative when they're in the red zone. Outside the red zone, they can't even get the ball out to my homes. You can't have the ball straight, you can't even get the running play right without somebody getting ready to run it right over. They can't do nothing right. And oh, oh, my god, oh my god, my homes right now is starting to have an issue with this, with the accuracy. And I don't want to hear anything about the weather, because when he played against us in that rain in Kansas City, he was throwing dots left and right, but, oh boy, he go against them writers. Now he's throwing people outside of the routes, now he's throwing behind them. What the hell's going?
Speaker 1:on. He was running for his life, the whole game. I'm just saying, man, he was probably tired.
Speaker 2:So I mean, the play calling is not good. It's actually hard to watch. It really is Because you want to get Pacheco going. You want to get Rache rice going. I like Rache rice. Rache rice is actually the bright spot as far as receivers go. I can't even say the same thing about Kelsey. Right now, what? We haven't seen him have a great dominant game since what? Week 11? Please. So the play calling is god awful. Then you want to sit up there and have the occasional touchdown that makes us believe that we have that momentum, that all the chiefs are back. Then, next thing, you know what the hell we got going on here in completion three and out, three and out, three and out, bunched up play here, destroyed play there. I mean, it's starting to be a reoccurring thing. Yeah, absolutely, and you know what it's getting very this is a bad time to do it, because I'm telling you right now, them raiders, they're playing some inspired football right now, them Broncos them Broncos, going to miss the playoff.
Speaker 1:I keep saying, if you're looking their head coach, he looks like he's going to take you behind the woodshed if you don't do your job. So I keep saying that that guy's scary looking. I will play my butt off too, because I wouldn't want that to wrap.
Speaker 2:Oh, by the way, let's give some love. Let's give some love to Antonio Pierce, because he's definitely going to be the head coach of the Las Vegas Raiders next year.
Speaker 1:Oh yeah, absolutely, Absolutely.
Speaker 2:Absolutely. You win that game. You win that game. Oh, oh yeah, oh yeah. And you know what? By the way, let's not act like the Raiders won off some fluke stuff, like it took a game winning drive where there was some missed PI calls or there were some penalties not being called or whatever. No, no, the.
Speaker 1:Raiders are the better team. Better team, absolutely. They played a better game than what the Chiefs did. That's it. So you don't want to address the real stuff, tj, so let's move it. We are addressing them. I mean we are addressing it. We're addressing the issues with the Kansas City.
Speaker 2:Chiefs and you know what my thing is and I got on my homes earlier. But I also understand that he's trying to band aid a lot of the issues that's going on on offense, but he literally is not helping himself with some of these passes. I mean I wish we could be one of those sports talk shows where we could have it on display certain throws that he's made yesterday where he literally threw it behind Kelsey, where he literally threw it behind Rice and the only reason why Rice would catch those outside balls towards the out of bounds, the reason why some of those complications are made are actually I can't believe I'm saying this are by the receivers.
Speaker 2:Some of those throws were not by Mahomes magic. Some of those catches were literally by the receivers themselves. And that's what's concerning to me, cuz everybody wants to say, oh, it's the receivers this and receivers that, and yes, there were some drops there, absolutely.
Speaker 1:But Mahomes didn't put it in the spot that he was supposed to Listen. Y'all need receivers up there. We've all said that you need receivers in Kansas City. If they don't catch the ball. What else is there to do? You can't Got my Kevin.
Speaker 2:Got my Kevin.
Speaker 1:Thank you, dante. Hey, hey, hey, listen, I was in Nevada when I had to endure watching that Steelers game Up on the Bengals and I'm gonna get to them next. As you said, I'm gonna get to them next. It's the only thing he didn't do. Okay, they missed the ball. Yes, they missed the ball. To stop pointing the fingers and take responsibility.
Speaker 2:Oh Lord man.
Speaker 1:Murphy. But the fingers make Bob. Yeah, and even Kelsey. Kelsey wasn't catching the ball, they said the last time he played the Raiders he had four touchdowns with 25 yards.
Speaker 2:You can do that. I'm tired Like the last couple of weeks. Sure, the receivers dropped the ball, but if we're talking about yesterday's game, you watching yesterday's game? Mahomes did not throw the ball where he was supposed to put it, for them to catch the ball properly, he just didn't. And it's okay Because, guess what, Hashtag Mahomes is human. He's just like all of us. What is?
Speaker 1:wrong with that? Wait a minute. Wait a minute. Paid him. All that money can't buy a team.
Speaker 2:You know what Exactly? That's another element of it too, because this is what the conversation is about paying these quarterbacks. You pay him all this money, but now you realize, okay, all right, we can't take.
Speaker 1:Marvin? Why you say this, marvin? You're going to get her started. Taylor Swift is bad luck. Oh my God. They lost one game.
Speaker 2:They lost one game with her in the stands and now she a bad luck. Whatever, this is a conversation that we have because you pay the quarterback all this money and then you realize, okay, wait, we can't pay for this wide receiver. Oh wait, we can't pay for the star defense attack. Oh wait, we can't pay for this office alignment. Oh wait, we can't pay for this corner. This is what happens. This is what happens, and you know what.
Speaker 2:The only outlier this year that's shown that that is not the case is literally Lamar, and that's literally. I can't even say that to be true, because Mark Andrews went down, all the running backs on the roster went down and some of the defensive players have went down and he's just playing out of his mind, so that's the only outlier.
Speaker 1:Wait a minute now. He lost his rhythm dancing to Taylor Swift music. Come on there.
Speaker 2:Oh my God, If there's a way I gotta say if there's a way to lose your rhythm, that's what we're doing, Okay.
Speaker 1:Taylor been bad luck. Can't just be yelling to keep Swift away. Can't catch a beat or the ball Wow.
Speaker 2:So that was a Mahomes game. That was a Mahomes game. I'm sorry you watched that game. Mahomes did not put it in the spot that he was supposed to and that's just the end of the story. The play calling was bad. Mahomes didn't throw the ball the way he was supposed to. Nope, Absolutely. He had one bad game. Any other time I would be like huh, Mahomes, Jesus, but no, this game, this was not for.
Speaker 1:I kind of like this comment. Dante says the most successful position will be the backups. So too we're going to have to see if it helps with the price of getting players At the rate that's going, it probably will be. Exactly, exactly, exactly At the rate that's going. It probably will be. So no worry. We know we need receivers, but the truth is we came too far without the dumb receivers. But if they don't catch the ball, you ain't going no further.
Speaker 2:You know what? Let's see. You know what. Y'all better be so grateful that y'all defense is still top 10 in every statistical category and they play like it. It wasn't for that, literally it would be the record saving y'all tail right now. It literally would, because the way that y'all are playing right now is literally, if we're being honest, close to middle of the pack to one of the worst offenses in the league right now. I'm not even joking. I'm not even joking. So y'all better be grateful that y'all defense is top 10 and that y'all are getting away with the competition that y'all are going against. And I can't even say that because y'all lost to the Vegas Raiders.
Speaker 1:I haven't forgot your mug, dante. I got them all here. I got them all wrapped up. I had to wrap them up and all of that good stuff. I'm getting them out this week, so you'll have them before the new year. So so what do you mean? Stop it? Well, it's just the truth, have I made?
Speaker 2:it. Is there any lies detected? I don't know anything. I just said Is there any lies detected?
Speaker 1:So, oh, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. Too many videos commercials. Jake from State Farm is embarrassed. Oh my God, I'm just saying maybe too much spotlight is on them now. Hey, remember, andy Reed even got one. Say, hey, he's nice work, but who's the chefs? Gugli Mugli, that's what they need to say, right? Oh, my goodness, what is it? What is it? He's just going to court the ball. Oh, lower hammers, no, not yesterday, just go ahead and do this one.
Speaker 2:Not yesterday.
Speaker 1:Oh.
Speaker 2:I was out of my home Throwing that ball yesterday.
Speaker 1:No, it's not. Nobody could have caught the ball yesterday.
Speaker 2:No, because this is a thing that people act like. It's not a thing with moms. They act like that, that because he makes all these special throws three or four times a game, that that means that he was the one that put in a perfect spot. No, you're fundamental throws. You're out about to the seven to 10 yard mark or off, and you're putting the receivers in a bad spot to catch the football. So either a they catch the football and they get their lights taken out because they hit from behind, or they drop it because the placement was literally not in a, not in a spot that it was supposed to be. What there should be nothing wrong with that. My home is human, it happens.
Speaker 1:He had a really bad game, that's it. That's it. And see yesterday, yesterday Casey just played bad period. Raiders capitalized, that's all it was. The Raiders capitalized, that's all it was. They had a bad day in the office at home and that's very rare for Kansas City to be having a bad day at home.
Speaker 2:It is what it is.
Speaker 1:It is what it is. Yeah, he was running for his life because the Raiders was coming after him. It's O-line has to block for him. So no, you ain't late, you're on time. D, you're on time and let's see, hey, just saying we won. Yeah, all right, let's go. Let's go to the Steelers, let's get to the Steelers. Now, now and again. If you blink, the Steelers had the ball again. If you blink, the Steelers had the ball again. If you blink, the Steelers had the ball again.
Speaker 1:And I was in Reno, nevada, downstairs watching the game and I was like, oh, but you know me, of course I had this on. And I went down to the Lions then watching a game that they were all those Steelers fans and they, the energy was off the chain and I was like man, they just put Nusha Lackin on the bangles. I was like, um, zach Taylor, let me explain something to you. You got fourth and one or fourth and inches and you going to throw the guy at the wrong on ball. What in the hell was you thinking of throwing the ball? Run the damn ball, corsair back sneak. What were you thinking? I'm like did I just watch that? You threw the ball.
Speaker 1:Jamar Chase is not in the game. You're throwing the D Higgins. He don't really have a chance at the ball. And then you're looking for a flag, I'm like, and then they just the Steelers. Congratulations to you. You beat the breaks off the bangles. Oh, you beat the breaks off the bangles. And when I saw Gina posted something, I said, oh, I said I was thinking the same thing of why he didn't run the damn ball. You have running backs. What were you thinking? Don't mess things up.
Speaker 2:You're running back, bro, come on, stop it, stop it.
Speaker 1:Corsair back sneak. It was fourth and inches, you can't, just the whole momentum. And then what are they doing? Everybody was cheering for Mason Rudolph up there and Mason Rudolph pulled them through. I was like oh man, here we go, hey you know what, man?
Speaker 2:I gotta say it. We gotta be real, we gotta cause. Fate is fate. We were talking on trash about Mason Rudolph, about how he was going to do a thing. He showed up there ironically on Christmas weekend and plays out of the town, mason Rudolph, and it was awesome. I gotta admit that was awesome. That, if still stands, if that's what y'all are looking for all year long, I'm so sorry I waited until week 16. But I mean, it's better late than never at all. So, mason Rudolph, shout out to you man, cause I know, you know, shoot. You had to talk about Mitch Breski being in, being better than you and Pickett being better than you. You don't get a shot to play at all. And next thing, you know, mason Rudolph comes in the game and when I tell you he launched that ball to George Pickens on that first drive, I said huh, really Okay, I was like you know what I was like all right, all right, all right, all right, let's chill out for a second.
Speaker 1:But whoever was calling those plays should have been calling those plays. Getting the ball to Pickens Should have been calling those plays. They should have been calling it. He's your best player on the field on your offense and you not trying to throw him the ball. You're not.
Speaker 2:So here's the trick thing about that they, their emphasis, is to make sure that the ball is spreaded around throughout all receivers, including the running backs. The problem is is that when you don't create space for spreading the wealth, it doesn't work. So I don't know what the conversation was throughout the week, but I guess they just sat up there and said Eff it, you know what? We're just gonna chuck it up to George Pickens, we're gonna get him open and whatever the hell happens after that, we'll live and die with it. So enough, pickens got that one touchdown. I'm like all right, all right, all right, all right. The following drive, pickens again. I'm like whoa, what's going on? Now you're starting to see a reverses Austin getting into the end zone. We got Jim and Warren blocking for his receivers. Oh, I didn't throw no shade at George Pickens at all, but all these different things that was going off off of big plays. Yep Made some rule to off at quarterback.
Speaker 1:Hit hit the thing, it was off. I made one line, it was off. You gave him props, you gave props for props. I'm sitting down there just like wow. I was quiet, Let me sip on this drink, Because the score just kept going up and up, and up and up. Oh, not to mention that it was raining up there too, but the score just kept going up.
Speaker 2:I said yeah.
Speaker 1:And the Bengals are not fighting back at all. What happened here, brownie? I thought, did you see, wait a minute. But did you see Joe Barrow's face on the sideline? Also he was Now. Tish said did you see Pickett's face? He said leave Pickett where he is, but did you see his face on the sideline?
Speaker 2:There was a lot of quarterback that was upset on them sidelines on Saturday.
Speaker 1:I see that oh yeah, absolutely, absolutely. Like I said, I have to get props for props as due. They handed Cincinnati an ass whipping. I'm playing the cell, I can't even be mad at it. I was like, oh man, they beat the bricks off of them up here. I mean they were happy and I'm telling you I was in the Lions. Then up there I'm like, oh okay, they happy, cool.
Speaker 2:And speaking of teams in the AFC North doing absolute, giving teams absolute hell, omari, freaking Cooper, ladies and gentlemen, Before you say anything, I'm going to throw some instant shade on that.
Speaker 1:So Dallas decided to give him up. But go ahead, keep it moving, sir.
Speaker 2:Woo hoo boy, let me tell you something 265 yards, bro. What in the world? Shout out to the Richie's. And so, chris Brockman doing his thing, he came up with a tremendous, tremendous phrase for Joe Flacco. This year, we are living in the Flacco Sans. Ladies and gentlemen, it is the Flacco Sans. What in the world is going on in Cleveland, ohio, right now?
Speaker 1:But wait a minute, that was with Flacco, throwing two interceptions. Yes, throwing two picks.
Speaker 2:It didn't matter. It didn't matter.
Speaker 1:It didn't matter.
Speaker 2:Because Omari Cooper is that dude and you know what. Now, this is the part where I'm going to have to penalize Omari here, because after the game he said that he's unguardable, and usually when players talk that talk after having a game like that, they end up the following week doing absolutely nothing. Nothing so you know, I kind of wish he didn't say nothing there, but hey look, if I had 265 yards and I was the third player I'd be talking some trash too.
Speaker 1:Absolutely I would.
Speaker 2:I ain't gonna lie. I ain't gonna lie. I ain't gonna lie. I would have been talking my ass too. But I mean, we've known Cleveland to be such a running like starting off the game, running the football team, like they were always a run for a team. Now they're passing the ball with ease. I'm like what is going on here and, by the way, I said it last week, I've been saying it for the past few weeks. Now, if you want to stop there and act like Kevin Sifansky is not in the conversation for Coach of the Year, give everything that's happened on Brown's roster. I literally don't know what to tell you. You're literally not watching football and I can't help you. He's gotta be in the conversation for Coach of the Year. Ten yards with the revolving door at quarterback injury left and right. Nick Chubb out for the year. Deshaun Watson out for the year Ode to the alignment. Out for the year. Divas of players, divas of stars being out for the year.
Speaker 1:And they're still winning.
Speaker 2:Ten and five, bro. If he's not in Coach of the Year conversation, I don't know what to tell you. Seriously, yeah, right, there you go. Awesome Flakosauce baby.
Speaker 1:Hey, hey, hey, listen. I thought we was gonna have to pull Dante out of it. See the comment. I hate the brands. I thought we were gonna have to pull him out the dog retreat if they would have lost another game. Oh man, we had to pull him out the dog retreat Like y'all gotta. Come on out to the light.
Speaker 2:Yeah, this is the week of getting them out the out the um. This is the week of getting them out of the darkness man. It's worth it. It's worth it, though. It's playoff time. It's perfect. Come on man.
Speaker 1:But you know something, though these teams are going down the stretch and they are just playing light tops. They look we have nothing to lose, let's just play. We have nothing to lose, and you are seeing this each and every week, and especially people fighting for these playoff spots. They are literally fighting for these playoff spots. Sure is. It's unbelievable. We mean yuck.
Speaker 2:Oh yeah.
Speaker 1:When it was the Ravens season ago, where was the praise, not just from you, but everyone else? Listen, you know how they do us. Yeah, you know how they do us. It's just like with this whole game leading up to the 49ers, everyone counted us out, every one count.
Speaker 1:There was very few people, very few people that thought that the Ravens would beat the 49ers. Everybody always counts the Ravens out. So, listen, I get praise when praise is due, no matter what team it is. No matter, listen, that's what it is. If they beat you, they beat the hell out of you. I got the receipts too. Trust me, I checked those receipts as soon as this show came on. I was checking those receipts and two people showed up last night when I came on the air and I gave them props for that. One showed up again today, gave them props for that. It's the other ones that haven't been here yet. It's the other ones that haven't been here yet. So I kept all those receipts.
Speaker 1:I hate the Ravens too. No praise here. I just give them props. Though hey, listen, the love is mutual, it's mutual, it's mutual and I love it because the simple fact that we know we don't like each other, we know we can't stand each other, but guess what, when it's that time to party and time to dance, may the best team win, and if you win, I always get praise. If we win, you give me praise. That's just the mutual respect that we always have.
Speaker 1:But, like I said they all count us out and I laid them in the waste at the beginning of the show and I'm still waiting for them. And we, 53 minutes in, they still ain't here. I'm still waiting for them. Listen, my mouth ain't going to stop over this one. Nope, we going to pluck y'all too. And you honestly think, wait, wait, wait, wait.
Speaker 1:I made a little little song about this one especially, and it's their claim, one of my favorite dudes, because they rap about everything. But if you think you can beat the Baltimore Ravens, you better wait. You must be hiding the Chicago murder rate. I'm just leaving it right there. So here's the thing. Here's the thing. I'm just saying this and I'm saying this we coming Plain and simple, you ain't going to do it again. It's not going to happen. Oh man, it ain't going to happen. So my thing with this is listen, hey, listen. I'm always ready for smoke. I'm always ready for anything. I'm here to have a good time and a great time. But you said you want to sweep us. Hey, I took that bet with you. Now, I did take that bet. So if I have to wear a brown bag because y'all sweat, but they're fine, I'll wear a brown bag. I'll go into the playoffs happy with that brown bag. Ok.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:But again, like I said, I give any team they do and their props and I will talk about their problems and deficiencies, Just like I will talk about the Ravens problems and deficiencies. Listen as we get along. Hey, this is about to be the best time of football because it's about to be who's going on and who's going home? Yeah, so we'll see what happens. We will definitely see what happens.
Speaker 2:OK.
Speaker 1:Like I said, we gave props. We gave props to Cleveland. We have to. We have to. I mean what they did with two interceptions, because what the analytics always say of you do this and the math says this, you're gonna lose. And they didn't, hey, but could you imagine Brock Purdy would have through those four interceptions is still won the game, how they would have downed us that.
Speaker 2:That right there. Yeah, that would have been crazy.
Speaker 1:That would have been crazy. But um you, you, you want to talk about your cowboys? Up sign.
Speaker 2:See this, this darkness retreat has taught me, and it's taught me a lot of things, man. And you know what? I Didn't lose my voice the last time I did it, and now the amount of darkness retreat, I think I still got the voice to do this. So please excuse me, hey, cowboy fans, oh, One job to do, one beat the dolphins.
Speaker 1:I said, listen, I need y'all to beat the dolphins, I need y'all to beat the dolphins. My buddy was like, dude, we ain't gonna beat the dolphins. Watch, watch what happened. He said we're gonna watch that up, we're not gonna beat the dolphin, sure enough. What the dolphins do go down, kick field, go games on One job to do beat the dolphins. And you couldn't do that. So I'm just trying to figure out where Is this issue going on? That you can play like superstars at home, but you can you play like crap on the road. What? What is going on? Yeah, I mean, it's the, it's the play calling different when you're on the road versus when you home. Is that here we go?
Speaker 2:It's very simple and cowboy fans not gonna like me for this, but they'll get over it. They left their balls at home. Okay, oh, that's how it works when they're at home. There's a big man on campus, there's a varsity there, everybody's JV. That's why this week is gonna be very interesting when they go against Detroit, because they'll be at home. Now, when they're on that road and they have to go against the team, that could actually be physical just as much as they can and be efficient as much as they can.
Speaker 2:Boy Become a different story. Play calling gets really horrid. They forgot how to run the football. They think that is everything. They thought that was everything On on Sunday. It was insane. They thought that could throw it here, throw it there. Do this, do that Really? The dolphin said, okay, all right, look what, what's this, what's this, what's this? All right, cool, guess what? Let's give them some pressure. Y'all really want him throwing the ball that much. Huh, okay, got some pressure head in his way and sure enough, sure enough, that could that pressure baby, he don't like that thing. Thrin out, thrin out, thrin out.
Speaker 2:You can play here in there, thrin out, it doesn't. It doesn't so pretty with with pressure. That seems to be the reoccurring thing with quarterbacks these days. You know, when they get pressure, you know it, they tend to struggle very mildly, might I add, um. So they decided not to run the football. I don't know why, but you know a, you know play calling. You know they left that at at at AT&T stadium too. So that's cool. They just showed up there, um, which, by the way, if there ever is a place to forget About anything that transpires while you're there, miami's windows. Miami, yep, absolutely.
Speaker 1:Miami.
Speaker 2:I will give them that If there is ever a place where you just all of a sudden forget to go to the grocery store, or you forget to pay your car note, or if you forget to pay that bill or you forget to pay for the rent, if there is ever a place where you can actually forget and everybody will understand, it's Miami. So it's, it's, it's, it's cool, it's cool, but, but now I'm out. Of darkness retreat. I can do this now. I can do this now. How about them cowboy?
Speaker 1:Um, again they let me down, let me down. I was like, what are y'all doing? I say, what is the difference in between you being home and you being away?
Speaker 2:Oh, that's right losing.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah. That that's the whole common thing with you. Being away from home, we lose. That's a problem because more than likely they're gonna have to go on the road and you don't know who you're gonna have to play and. You don't want to rule and you have a losing record. So, cowboys, y'all might be one and done might be. I don't know, we'll see, but wait, wait, wait, wait. Remember I made this prediction back a while back home, tampa Bay, and everybody was like, oh no, that's not gonna happen.
Speaker 2:Where's Tampa?
Speaker 1:Bay. Hey me, Where's Tampa Bay?
Speaker 2:Hey, guilty and starts guilty. I Tell you on that, and you can even sound so confident when you said it. That's why. That's why it was. It was very plain and clear. We we a a look. We talked about keeping receipts on this show. I'm pretty sure when you said Tampa Bay was going to talk about some playoffs. When I asked you, are you sure about that? Just a week later you sat up there on this very show.
Speaker 1:He was like Absolutely I did, because it wasn't looking good for me saying that. I Did you write. We ain't got no problem of running up in anybody's house. Yeah, hey, hey. Acts of 49ers. I'm sorry, hey, hey. We was the gristest old Christmas from them, the rich. We went in there, we kicked that dog, we drunk their beer, we sat on that couch and we took their present playing country. Oh, oh, here's the shade. Not now, though. We beat ourselves. We all won the game. We beat ourselves, but guess what? Y'all still gotta come down to the bank. We we doing a lot of robin down there, a lot.
Speaker 2:We doing a lot of robin.
Speaker 1:Oh boy, we about to rob Miami and we gonna rob you all too. And just a simple fact that, hey, let's get this out the way. Let's, let's get out the way. Right now let's just say happy new year. Hey, yes, we did. Yeah, we did. And you know something? Again, I'm just happy that game is over, that whole stress. I'm happy that whole game is over, because that game right there, I gave the most respect to, because I was like no, I ain't gonna talk no trash. I said I'm gonna say it's a mess to even man this than that I gave that game the most respect. But when that game was going on, I damn didn't lost my voice. Last night again, if you look, brock Purdy gave the rapist the ball back. Yeah, I see a tissue, tissue, dante. They say they're ready. I got you.
Speaker 2:You're ready to be an advance? I love, I love y'all, y'all y'all so funny.
Speaker 1:Make sure y'all send kitty pick it as a quarterback. I'm just asking Now um, I hope he's watching because I gave someone a card today and, uh, he was commander's fan and you know this is what he said. He was like I hate to rave it. He said, but y'all put a beating on what you got last night. I said, oh good, here's my card because I said I'm gonna give y'all the business tonight too. Um, how y'all lose to the jets. I'm just saying how y'all wait a minute y'all lost to the JET. It's just the jets. How y'all lose to the jets, the jets. What's their record? Oh, oh.
Speaker 2:Freaking hole baby. It's no, not screaming his name out, because he was on my fantasy team and the reason why I won the fantasy league championship. But breathe, freaking hole baby. Yes, sir Boy, do not be stopped to save his life. And you know what's crazy? You're gonna clown them for them losing the game. But you know what? You know what I'm actually gonna hit the flip side. The jets almost lost this game.
Speaker 1:That's absolutely right.
Speaker 2:Because the jets. Let me remind you, for those that didn't watch the game, I don't blame you, because it's the jets and the commanders, so duh. But for those who, uh, didn't watch, um, it was 27 to 7. To go into halftime, the jets were up. Do you know what? The finals court ended up being 30 27. If it had not been For the jets saying hey, you know what, we got pretty more points in us, they would have had arguably the worst Comeback loss on this season. And it's not even close. It's not even close. So, as much as you want to, you want to go into commanders, I I will push back and say it was going to be an upset of this century. It really was. I'm not gonna lie to you, not gonna lie.
Speaker 1:Listen, listen, just be with me. Coming down there and calling those plays, I have to give him props. What props is due, head coach? Head coach, I have to give him props of props is due because he has called some plays and has brought back some games that you just wouldn't believe. I mean, wouldn't believe and you have to get the man's props. But him. And then they had percent in the game and percent was bringing them back and I'm like, okay, they almost won the game, had to give him props, but we know riverboat ron won't be there. That's easy, he's gone.
Speaker 1:Oh, no, they go, they go clean house, they'll clean house, they're gonna revamp and we gonna see what's gonna happen Next season, because that's what they're looking forward to next season, because it won't be nothing this season. So when the Dallas Cowboys come here now let's see if they win that game. It's on the road. If Dallas, dallas, that game in January, oh, I'm going to be the first one to be clowning them in that stadium because I have to work those home games. I'm like see, you lost to the commanders and Y'all lost to the commanders. Let me get this straight. Y'all came here Hmm, first thing in the new year and lost to the commanders. Hmm, so that's how y'all starting off, y'all 2024, huh, losing to the commanders. But we'll, we, we'll wait to see what happened. Oh no, we'll wait, we'll wait, yeah, we'll wait. Like, here we go, first game of the new year, right, because that's next year when we play the Steelers. Somebody going away with a l oh it was the.
Speaker 1:Ravens.
Speaker 2:So yeah, so the jets, almost the jets almost gave him that game night. Why it was, uh, it was, uh, it was insane.
Speaker 1:I'm not. Let me see if I can make that happen. Dante, let me see if I can make that happen.
Speaker 2:But I'll be cool.
Speaker 1:I'll be see if I can make that happen. I'll be cool man. Let me see if I can make that happen.
Speaker 2:Oh, oh man this is really good man she's really good.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah, who else? Who else we talked about up in here? Uh, let's see, let's skip over. Well, the Rams just uh beat up on the same. I mean don't let the score.
Speaker 2:Fool you, because it definitely was no.
Speaker 1:No, no, no no child damage right there.
Speaker 2:And oh, by the way, shout out to your NFC north cleansing, winning the vision champs Detroit lions. So okay, okay, I have a saving them because you're saving.
Speaker 1:The last time they won the division title was 1993, so you know what? 1993. Congratulations to the Detroit Lions.
Speaker 2:I gotta admit. I gotta admit, man, I am. I am hysterical about them because I've now accomplished two uh Bucket lists that I didn't think would transpire. The Eagles won the Super Bowl during my lifetime and the lions won the division. Those two things have happened in my. It's happened in my existence. I can say that. I can say that I can go to all the fame saying that the Eagles have won the Super Bowl during my lifetime and the Lions have won the division. I can actually say that now. Oh my god, shout out to Detroit man.
Speaker 1:They deserve it. It is another thing to add If the lions beat the cowboys in Dallas, there's gonna be some serious problems down in big D, some serious. That's the game I'm looking for, because I think that I think the truits gonna give them some problems.
Speaker 2:They're using problems Absolutely Because they can run the ball.
Speaker 1:They can. Detroit can run the ball, something that Dallas don't seem to know how to do too well run the ball boy.
Speaker 1:I'm just saying Most of your, most of your calls, if not all a shotgun, please Shotgun. Everything's mostly shotgun. So now you're trying to incorporate this west coast offense in there, but uh, that doesn't always work. You have to mix things up, and Dallas just ain't doing that. Mixing things up. Detroit will mix up and then throw some plays and then you never seen before, like wait, what the hell? Who has the ball? All right, you know every time, every gamble, great coach, I love that coach, coach, coach, coach, coach of the year can't date dan Campbell.
Speaker 1:I love dan Campbell. That's man, he and listen. He tells us like it is. We're opposed. Hey, we got our ass whip. We got our ass whip. Nobody say we need to tighten up on it and they come back next week. Then they shall lack somebody. So, james, that I'm watching for next week. But yeah, detroit, congratulations to him. I think they want number three seed, they're number two now. They're number two.
Speaker 2:We're at three.
Speaker 1:Oh yeah, so that game against Dallas is huge, that game against Dallas is huge. So, congratulations Seahawks, congratulations Buffalo.
Speaker 2:I've never seen them in my field of nothing you wanna congratulate Buffalo really.
Speaker 1:Hey, hey, listen, hey, they still fighting, still fighting. I'm giving them props. They hanging in there, cause remember who was their last game? Against Miami.
Speaker 2:Oh, oh, oh, oh see, there's a hidden agenda, see, okay, okay, see, see, I wish you had told me ahead of time where you going with that. Now I understand, cause anytime you barely beat the Chargers and they don't even have a head coach or a quarterback, doesn't really do a whole lot of numbers for me. Sorry, but hey, when's the win? Hey, when's?
Speaker 1:the win. What did you say? When's the win, when's the?
Speaker 2:win. When's the win?
Speaker 1:All right, why, you know? Because Buffalo's probably not gonna win the vision, but I think they're gonna give Miami a second loss, bro just don't let them get into the playoffs.
Speaker 2:How about that? I don't care where they're at, just let's just hope that they're not in the playoffs period, cause if they do, they're gonna be a problem.
Speaker 1:They're gonna be a problem for someone. Man, you want to be a problem. You want to be a problem. So it's just this field just really fighting for his job up there man. Is he really fighting for his job? Because he's just been unbelievable over these last couple of weeks.
Speaker 2:I mean he didn't get the memo. He didn't get the memo.
Speaker 1:Yeah, you're not putting me out of Chicago.
Speaker 2:Like the Bears are supposed to purposely tank. This is the, that's the, that's the, that's the Bears, but then again it's the Bears. I wouldn't expect him to do anything, right, you know, especially if it's hey he's going to be a stealers next year.
Speaker 1:That's fine. I like that. I wouldn't see that. I don't have no problem with it.
Speaker 2:I don't know I would learn that Listen.
Speaker 1:That would be cool, Because then guess what you said go and pray that Tomlin's still there.
Speaker 2:I don't want to hear no BS about Justin Fields. Don't have a head coach. Don't don't give me that. Tomlin better be there. If Justin Fields going to be there, tomlin need to be there. That's for you, oh yeah absolutely, absolutely.
Speaker 1:Just because Tomlin had a bad season, everybody taught him. I want to get rid of.
Speaker 1:What a bad season. I've heard the chatter and they was like well, tomlin needs to go. Why, this is really like his first season. He's really struggled. Tomlin's had a winning season, the whole time he's been there. So so, yeah, hey, I hope they both are Absolutely, because you know, for some of these other ones they talking about anyone Tomlin out of it I'm like why, what? What has he done? He's kept y'all in the dance for the little that he's had, for the little that he's had. That's right. He don't need to go. You don't need to go, absolutely.
Speaker 2:And you know what I said. I said it. I said it in plain sounds form. See it again. Y'all go ahead and y'all keep one of these coaches out. Who do y'all want to replace them? I'll wait, yup.
Speaker 1:Cause, there's not like a large.
Speaker 2:There's not a large market for them. I'll tell you that right now. So y'all go ahead and let these coaches out. If you want to, Y'all go ahead.
Speaker 1:Yeah, y'all may not like what's next. I know what's going to happen they're going to bring back Harbaugh out of college. He's going to get a head coach guy. What in Pittsburgh? No, not Pittsburgh, not Pittsburgh, probably someplace else.
Speaker 2:Oh no, I know, but that's what I'm saying For a lot of, for a lot of these, these fan bases, that what these head coaches fired, that's cool. I just want you to understand that there is not a huge market full of candidates for these jobs, and there's going to be at least seven to 10 head coaching jobs open this year. So y'all want to get rid of these coaches? Sure, all I say is there ain't going to be a whole lot to choose from. That's what I'm saying. That's what I'm saying. You're right. So there's that, yeah.
Speaker 1:Yeah, if the Southerners are crazy enough to let Tom go, we should get him. Yeah, I totally agree. I totally agree. Let's see who we got. Oh hey, see Tampa Bay, they still want to move. That's still on the move. Tampa Bay, they still move. Beat the Jags 30 to 12.
Speaker 2:What the hell is going on in Jacksonville, man, oh my God.
Speaker 1:What's that? What? Four or five straight in the longs, something like that. Yeah, three or four, or something like that. They don't lost Jacksonville is just ever since he got hurt he has not been the same with that high angle spring.
Speaker 2:And he's still trying to play.
Speaker 1:Yes, and I've noticed that. I said he hasn't been the same and it's just like we talked about when he was walking down that hallway and saying, hey, don't they have cards, don't they have cards, they have cards, don't they? They do have cards, right, bro, bro, yeah, lawrence is hurt and that's the thing. He at least took a week or two off to try to heal some. Yeah, he's trying to play through it and you're messing yourself up.
Speaker 2:Yeah, he's getting even more hurt now.
Speaker 1:Yeah, angle and shoulder now, yep.
Speaker 2:Angle and shoulder Like what the hell.
Speaker 1:Step out. Yeah, yeah, so they might be wanting done too if they make it in. Yeah, if they don't get bumped.
Speaker 2:Look, it might be Jacksonville by default. Cj Stroud needs to hurry up and get back if Houston wants to make it, because if CJ Stroud's not back, man, it might be Jacksonville by default. I'm sorry.
Speaker 1:Right, right, absolutely. I was like but hey, this is what we talking about. Like I said, the Bucks let's say they play the Cowboy, don't count Baker Mayfield out now. I'm just saying I'm not.
Speaker 2:I'm not, don't count them out, nope.
Speaker 1:Do not count them out. But, like I said, I think I've done enough bashing for today. I've done enough bashing, I've done enough bashing. I told you I kept my receipts, I kept everything and I'm just calling them out, the few Nodders, fans that came in. Hey, listen, I ain't got no fights with you because you came. I give you much props. It's the ones that didn't come, that's the ones I had a problem with. They didn't come.
Speaker 1:Oh yeah, I'm just going to stay away from that, I'm going to just step back from this. I'm telling you the Internet is undefeated with these memes. Okay, these memes are just that. That means the buck will get at home. So, yeah, it'll be good. Yep, upset alert, upset alert. I'm waiting. Like I said. Like I said, the game of the year is over. Now we can get back to business. Let's get that over. Hey, right now, this is week by week. You never know what's going to happen. Week by week, yep, week by week, we never know what's going to happen. Our team's doing good. The next thing, we get shellacked and all of a sudden, like wait a minute, what happened? Well, last week we did this. This week we did this. Who knows, who knows? But the only thing I can give props to the Ravens for is this them dudes have traveled a lot of miles and they are playing right now.
Speaker 1:They have traveled a lot of miles and I figure maybe jet lag or something was going to set in. You know they may be tired, anything but they have traveled a lot of miles and still still just playing at a high level. That's scary. That's scary. But someone, just to knock the hell out of you and speaking of knocking the hell, that hit Humphrey put on D-Bow. Now D-Bow may have bounced off of him and got six yards, but that hit he put on him.
Speaker 1:I was like whoa, they ain't playing, they ain't playing, so we don't, we don't. Let you know, we the bigger bullies here and we were the bigger ones, so Absolutely. And then we got to worry about these bullies in January coming to the bank. So, but I have done all my ranting, I've gotten all my rent out. I feel a lot better. You know, I was really contained that last night, but I feel a lot better now. It's over. That stress is off of me. I'm good now.
Speaker 1:So if anyone missed, when I was talking, I started at the beginning of the show with 49ers. I'm beginning. You can go back. Oh, yeah, check that for me, cause I want to be there. Absolutely I will. Yeah, so here's the thing. Here's the thing.
Speaker 1:I wore my lucky shirt at my daughter game. This is my lucky shirt, this is my kryptonite shirt. So last two games I'll be wearing this kryptonite shirt. I see you just yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1:But hey, like I said, it's going to be some robbing down the bank. Hey, it's going to be a new year, somebody going to have one loss of New Year. This is me also. Yeah, may the best team win. Like I always say may the best team win. You know, a week out I'll start talking trash, a week out I'll just start talking trash. But as we get to the favorite part of this show of giving these brown bags, you know I can give an obvious, an obvious brown bag, but I don't want to give an obvious brown bag. I want to give a brown bag to someone that just doesn't see this coming whatsoever, really really doesn't want to see this coming. So we went to all these games and we look, and we look and we look and you was like, okay, so who is very deserving of a brown bag? I'm going to give my first one to the whole Texans offense and defense, because, even though CJ's style is not in the game.
Speaker 1:you let Joe Flacco wait. I'm going to say this again Joe Flacco going to interceptions and still that one player 200.
Speaker 2:We're living in the what we're living in the what?
Speaker 1:What was the what? What? The Flacco, sons Flacco.
Speaker 2:Sons, flacco Sons, they're right. Play with your chess man.
Speaker 1:The Flacco Sons, you loud him. They're going to throw two interceptions but still throw for 265 yards for one player.
Speaker 2:Come on now.
Speaker 1:We're going to rob at the wind, at the bank. I'm going to have to get that score out.
Speaker 2:I'm telling you, man, dreamers could dream in prayer, and prayers do come true. Tell you that right now.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah, absolutely it could happen. I don't see it happening, but it could.
Speaker 2:I'm just saying you know what my first brown bag is actually going to get. You Believe it or not. My first brown bag is going to go to your lovely Denver Broncos. They just couldn't help themselves with the brown bags this year. I feel like we have to have a whole show dedicated to who's more likely to get a brown bag this year, because I feel like the Broncos have definitely been on our list for all season long. But how in the hell do you lose to the Patriots?
Speaker 1:What are?
Speaker 2:we doing.
Speaker 1:I'm going to go to Bill.
Speaker 2:Oh my God, I mean a game winning drive. Bailey's not pretending to be Tom Brady. Really, really, Really Okay, yep, so much for thinking that y'all are going to possibly win the AFC West. Y'all not even going to make the playoffs.
Speaker 1:Well, there's that one. I'm going to go to the top of the list on the screen. Told you we keep receipts, we keep receipts. So my next brown bag goes to this 49er fan named Levance Lyrie, yeah, I'm coming for you. You had that bird hunting post up, but I saw another one that come back that said you couldn't catch us. So my brown bag goes to you, levance. I don't even think he's listening, but I'm going to make sure I send him a snippet of this. I gave him a brown bag for thinking it was bird hunting season, but you couldn't catch this bird at all. We flew out of there with all your presents, levance, and if you see this, you get a brown bag. As a matter of fact, I'm going to send you one with your name on it, I promise you.
Speaker 2:My second one. This one isn't really, it's not really too complicated. Brock Birdie, MVP who, mvp who, four inters wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. Not one, not two, not three. I'm sounding like Triple H right now. But four interceptions, mvp who? Brock Birdie, really, brown Baggy Son, you, sir, you sir, foreign exceptions, and you know what's crazy. You know what's crazy? The fact that I'm literally seeing people create an excuse for every single one of those interceptions is crazy. See, there's a difference between excuses and reasons. Now I'm seeing a lot of excuses, I'm seeing a lot of excuses for these foreign exceptions, and that's what's crazy. Now, if there's reasons behind these interceptions, like I'm going, I actually need to really sit down and analyze these interceptions because seeing them firsthand, I couldn't believe it. But excuses for foreign exceptions? But you know, hey, you know he's an MVP conversation, right? Anthony Hill, brock Purdy get out of here, get out of here. Brown.
Speaker 1:Baggy man, absolutely Get out of here. Oh yeah, and the hits keep on coming. I'm jumping back to the 49s. I have to read this one Two tip interceptions. One interception is because Purdy's elbow was hit. I'm not worried at all. We will flush this one and move on. You're a fraud fan if you're bailing on Purdy and the 49 is after the night's game. You know something? I'm going to give you a brown bag just for that whole post, because the whole thing of Purdy's elbow was hit. It doesn't matter, doesn't matter? That sounds like an excuse. So Brock Purdy's $40, whoever that was on Facebook you get a brown bag just for that post. Just admit it, you got your ass whipped by a much better team. No ifs, no ands, no buts. If the shoes were reversed, I would have came on here and said the same thing. I told you I keep them, receipts, I'm keeping receipts and y'all getting these brown bags.
Speaker 2:Cool, my last one, man, oh man, this one's going to be really tough. You know what I'm going to bring a brown bag to the Kansas City. Thank you, see you right on time, baby. Right on time, right on time, right on time.
Speaker 2:Right on time Brown bag to your Kansas City Chiefs, oh hey, oh, oh hey, which is something that I wish that the referees were doing, because that is something that the Chiefs refused to do on yesterday getting first downs, and that's because Mahomes, who should get a separate brown bag of his own, was throwing passes that were very errant and very inaccurate. You know what man? I got to say this and no one else will.
Speaker 1:Dear Kansas City Chiefs and your Patrick Mahomes, the savior of the NFL, you guys, get a brown bag, get a brown bag, get a brown bag. Now, wait, wait, I have to show this one, I have to show this one and I'm going to give a brown bag, just by the score alone, with this. You see that. You see, this Score says 21 to nothing in second quarter. So, cincinnati Bengals, you get a brown bag for allowing the Steelers just to shellack you like that. That's right, did you? Put up a fight. Say it again.
Speaker 1:I mean, let's go up. Wait a minute, where was that game? It was in Pittsburgh, wasn't it? It was in Pittsburgh. Yeah, it was in Pittsburgh. What? I'm sorry Y'all left your balls at the hotel. Yeah, this is your next to Ohio. I'm just saying I told you I'm for all the smoke today. I'm for all the smoke. Cincinnati gets a brown bag. None of them showed up.
Speaker 2:Nope.
Speaker 1:No, none of them got my vote. Love it, I do too, because they deserve a brown bag for that performance that they put on. Congratulations again to the Steelers. Wow, no shade. No shade in it. Y'all whipped the ass. Play the simple Right, right. Let's see, let's see who else you gave it to the Chiefs. Yo, let's see. I think that'd be it for me. That'd be it for me. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. I got one more. I got one more. The whole cast of the speak. Y'all get brown bags too. Betting to get the Baltimore Ravens. No one is safe from me with this one. I'm going after every last one of them that betted against the Ravens. No, not the whole cast.
Speaker 2:I love the whole cast, the whole cast.
Speaker 1:Joey Taylor is my girl man. Every last one of them picked the 49ers.
Speaker 2:Joey Taylor is my girl man, don't, don't, don't get no say to my girl man oh no, Every last one of them.
Speaker 1:Dave picked the 49ers, every last one, and they was back recanting statements like a Trump speech. I'm just saying no one's safe. No one's getting off the hook on this one. No one is getting off the hook. Nobody is getting off the hook with that one.
Speaker 2:I'm sorry, joey, I'm sorry You're my girl. Though that's him, come for him.
Speaker 1:Come for him, don't come for me. Oh yeah, come for me, please, please, come for me. It's Damon. Let me spell it for you D-A-M-O-N-D. I was spelling for you. It's with the D-K-3 podcast. Come for me.

Speaker 1:You're not in this one, okay, all right. All right, I get another one. Richard Sherman, you get a brown bag. Oh yeah, there we go. Oh, there we go. Listen, I'm keeping. I kept receipts Because, again, all, every last one of them counted us out that game. I am giving props for what props is due? Ravens did their goddamn thing, but all you that counted us out. I'm just giving you back that love you gave us None.
Speaker 2:Right, say it again.
Speaker 1:So I think I'm done, I think I'm done. Now, I'm done, I'm done, I'm done, unless I miss someone, that I miss anybody, that I miss anybody. Please, if I miss someone, put it in the comments, cause I'll listen, I'll give it to them. I'll give it to them right now.
