WEBVTT 1 00:00:03.000 --> 00:00:07.200 It's time for Coffee and Company, fueled by Thornton's on 2 00:00:07.320 --> 00:00:14.279 Sports Talk seven nine day. Now here's Nick Coffee. 3 00:00:16.440 --> 00:00:17.879 As you could expect, we have spent a lot of 4 00:00:17.920 --> 00:00:21.760 time talking about the big games yesterday as two teams 5 00:00:21.760 --> 00:00:25.359 punched their ticket to the Super Bowl. Very familiar faces 6 00:00:25.600 --> 00:00:28.839 when it comes to late runs in the postseason. I mean, 7 00:00:28.879 --> 00:00:33.039 the Chiefs could win their third in a row. How 8 00:00:33.039 --> 00:00:35.320 many do they have overall? Like with Mahomes, would this 9 00:00:35.359 --> 00:00:36.880 be four for him? I think it will be right, 10 00:00:36.920 --> 00:00:37.399 This will. 11 00:00:37.200 --> 00:00:37.960 Be number four for him. 12 00:00:38.000 --> 00:00:40.359 Yeah, I'm not exactly keeping up with his you know, 13 00:00:40.520 --> 00:00:43.880 his stats, but yeah, four sounded four, honestly, sounded like 14 00:00:43.920 --> 00:00:45.920 it might be low, Like maybe he has more than 15 00:00:45.960 --> 00:00:50.200 three right now. But the Chiefs, they are currently in 16 00:00:50.240 --> 00:00:52.799 the midst of a dynasty and I don't really see 17 00:00:52.799 --> 00:00:55.840 it slowing down anytime soon. But the Eagles, they've been 18 00:00:56.200 --> 00:00:58.759 a real I mean, what's been a down year for 19 00:00:58.799 --> 00:01:01.200 them lately. I mean, I know that haven't been nearly 20 00:01:01.240 --> 00:01:04.200 as good as the Chiefs, obviously, but they're also a 21 00:01:04.239 --> 00:01:06.400 team that I don't think anybody can be shocked has 22 00:01:06.439 --> 00:01:08.959 made it back to the super Bowl. And I'm gonna 23 00:01:08.959 --> 00:01:11.439 be pulling for the Eagles, but you know, I also 24 00:01:11.599 --> 00:01:13.879 am going to expect the Chiefs to win, because one 25 00:01:13.959 --> 00:01:17.400 I think they're deserving of you know that they've proven 26 00:01:17.400 --> 00:01:19.599 that they when they get here, they win, right. I mean, 27 00:01:19.959 --> 00:01:22.599 who in fact did they lose to last time in 28 00:01:22.680 --> 00:01:23.400 the postseason? 29 00:01:23.920 --> 00:01:27.120 The Chiefs? Yes, the Eagles, right, yeah? Okay? 30 00:01:27.280 --> 00:01:30.799 And then last year the Eagles they lost to the Bucks? 31 00:01:31.719 --> 00:01:34.239 Was it last year? Okay? I kind of don't remember that. 32 00:01:34.680 --> 00:01:37.280 Yeah, it was very they had They started off so 33 00:01:37.439 --> 00:01:39.920 hot last year and then they kind of like fell off. 34 00:01:40.120 --> 00:01:41.879 I think that was last year, right, I mean, I 35 00:01:42.200 --> 00:01:44.120 may be wrong. I'm pretty sure that they lost the 36 00:01:44.120 --> 00:01:45.000 Bucks last year. 37 00:01:46.079 --> 00:01:46.879 I just don't remember. 38 00:01:46.959 --> 00:01:49.079 Well, I don't remember the Bucks making a big run 39 00:01:49.079 --> 00:01:50.680 of the playoffs, although I do know that they made 40 00:01:50.680 --> 00:01:53.760 it because I remember Baker being back in the playoffs 41 00:01:53.799 --> 00:01:56.439 with the Buccaneers and winning. 42 00:01:56.159 --> 00:01:58.239 Like that was that was a that was a story. 43 00:01:58.280 --> 00:02:01.159 But either way, it's the Eagles and it's the Chiefs, 44 00:02:01.200 --> 00:02:03.680 and I was hoping we got the exact opposite match 45 00:02:03.760 --> 00:02:07.359 up Bill's Commanders, and neither team was able to pull through. 46 00:02:07.400 --> 00:02:10.280 And I'm just trying to figure out how I'm gonna 47 00:02:10.319 --> 00:02:11.919 you know, get it. I want to be excited for 48 00:02:11.960 --> 00:02:13.960 the Super Bowl, and I usually have been able to 49 00:02:13.960 --> 00:02:16.479 be excited for the Super Bowl regardless if I have 50 00:02:16.560 --> 00:02:18.879 a real team to pull for, because sometimes I'm just 51 00:02:18.879 --> 00:02:20.560 pulling for a team that I that I you know, 52 00:02:20.879 --> 00:02:22.560 doesn't matter. It's not about who I'm wanting to win. 53 00:02:22.599 --> 00:02:24.120 It's about who I'm wanting to lose. And I guess 54 00:02:24.159 --> 00:02:25.919 that'll be that'll be the case with the Chiefs. But 55 00:02:25.960 --> 00:02:29.800 I've just I realize now, like if I am going 56 00:02:29.879 --> 00:02:34.599 to just make it all about anybody but the Chiefs 57 00:02:35.000 --> 00:02:38.960 and really root and pull for them to lose games 58 00:02:39.000 --> 00:02:41.960 and come up short, I'm gonna be a miserable person, 59 00:02:42.000 --> 00:02:43.759 aren't I Like, they're. 60 00:02:43.599 --> 00:02:45.879 Not like they're not going anywhere. I mean, this isn't 61 00:02:46.000 --> 00:02:47.719 ending anytime soon, right, Yeah. 62 00:02:47.719 --> 00:02:49.879 And then you have the history of the Chiefs and 63 00:02:49.879 --> 00:02:51.840 Patrick Mahomes in the last five years of being in 64 00:02:51.879 --> 00:02:53.599 the Super Bowl, and when we talked about this earlier, 65 00:02:53.680 --> 00:02:57.400 for we're just fatigued at all of the Chiefs being 66 00:02:57.400 --> 00:02:59.479 in there or the same old teams, and how someone 67 00:02:59.560 --> 00:03:02.479 likes dying I can I could sort of get with 68 00:03:02.520 --> 00:03:03.080 both sides. 69 00:03:03.599 --> 00:03:05.400 By the way, the Buccaneers, Oh. 70 00:03:05.319 --> 00:03:07.000 Yeah, yeah, there you go. Yeah, it was like a 71 00:03:07.000 --> 00:03:08.159 blowout if I remember. 72 00:03:08.520 --> 00:03:10.520 But yeah, I'm on I'm on both sides of like 73 00:03:10.560 --> 00:03:12.759 I like the dynasty, hate it, but also kind of 74 00:03:12.759 --> 00:03:15.919 love seeing new matches, but on like the converse end 75 00:03:16.000 --> 00:03:18.159 where we really all that pumped a couple of years 76 00:03:18.159 --> 00:03:21.159 ago about the Bengals and the Rams making it. I 77 00:03:21.199 --> 00:03:23.800 guess it was pretty nice because it's too I guess 78 00:03:23.879 --> 00:03:26.240 new war teams. We saw the the Rams in there 79 00:03:26.280 --> 00:03:28.840 a few years ago when they had golf and McVeigh 80 00:03:28.879 --> 00:03:31.680 and they went up against the Patriots Tom Brady's last 81 00:03:31.719 --> 00:03:34.039 as a Patriot. But like and then you have people 82 00:03:34.120 --> 00:03:36.599 rooting for the Bengals to finally get one. But I 83 00:03:36.599 --> 00:03:39.800 can understand if that didn't draw as much as you 84 00:03:39.879 --> 00:03:43.000 have like the Chiefs coming up and then another rematch 85 00:03:43.479 --> 00:03:45.400 with the Eagles. Of course, the forty nine ers did 86 00:03:45.439 --> 00:03:48.240 it last year, almost the same scenario, Like they kind 87 00:03:48.280 --> 00:03:50.719 of improved on things that they didn't have before. They 88 00:03:50.719 --> 00:03:53.280 went out and got an elite running back Christian McCaffrey. 89 00:03:53.479 --> 00:03:55.840 That kind of helped them out. Now the Eagles go 90 00:03:55.919 --> 00:03:58.120 out and get an even more elite running back with 91 00:03:58.120 --> 00:04:01.840 Sakwan Barkley. So it's it's it almost plays out exactly 92 00:04:01.879 --> 00:04:04.520 how the rematch was last year with the forty nine ers. 93 00:04:04.639 --> 00:04:07.439 Yeah, I think the Super Bowl that had the Rams 94 00:04:07.439 --> 00:04:10.599 and the Bengals, there's no doubt that big picture that 95 00:04:10.639 --> 00:04:12.080 probably wasn't good for the NFL. 96 00:04:12.159 --> 00:04:14.080 There's a lot of hype around here, of course, because. 97 00:04:13.960 --> 00:04:16.279 Yeah, that's what I was going to say. Like for me, 98 00:04:16.399 --> 00:04:18.800 I know so many people that love the Bengals. A 99 00:04:18.839 --> 00:04:21.319 lot of close friends of mine love the Bengals, and 100 00:04:21.399 --> 00:04:23.480 I remember kind of just I mean, I was pulling 101 00:04:23.519 --> 00:04:25.920 for Cincinnati because I'm I mean, I'm kind of a 102 00:04:25.959 --> 00:04:28.879 fake fan where I can't act like I have any gift. 103 00:04:28.959 --> 00:04:30.759 I don't really care if they win or lose, but 104 00:04:30.800 --> 00:04:33.319 I prefer them win because I don't dislike them, and 105 00:04:33.360 --> 00:04:35.399 I want yeah, and I want my friends. 106 00:04:35.160 --> 00:04:35.720 To be happy. 107 00:04:36.079 --> 00:04:39.720 So the Bengals, it was just a it was such 108 00:04:39.759 --> 00:04:42.519 a storyline that they were even there, especially locally, Like 109 00:04:42.560 --> 00:04:45.319 can you believe that Joe Burrow in his second season 110 00:04:45.319 --> 00:04:47.800 as a quarterback has the Bengals in the Super Bowl. 111 00:04:48.160 --> 00:04:50.120 I think before that you could have told people my 112 00:04:50.199 --> 00:04:53.000 age that are diehard fans of the Bengals that they 113 00:04:53.160 --> 00:04:55.079 never lived to see the Bengals in a Super Bowl 114 00:04:55.120 --> 00:04:57.079 and they probably would have believed you. So there was 115 00:04:57.079 --> 00:04:59.000 like a local element that made it kind of cool 116 00:04:59.040 --> 00:05:02.199 for me, but I'm sure overall nationally it wasn't that 117 00:05:02.199 --> 00:05:03.920 big of a story. It was probably a matchup the 118 00:05:04.040 --> 00:05:08.680 NFL did not want. Now, the best storyline right now, 119 00:05:09.160 --> 00:05:11.639 at least for me to root for, is Sequon Barkley 120 00:05:11.680 --> 00:05:14.439 because he's been able to put together such a phenomenal 121 00:05:14.480 --> 00:05:17.480 season with the Eagles, and you know, I think it's 122 00:05:17.519 --> 00:05:21.600 been awesome to see how I guess mature he's been 123 00:05:21.639 --> 00:05:23.199 throughout the whole thing. I don't really know if he 124 00:05:23.240 --> 00:05:25.959 has any real reason to be like bitter towards New York. 125 00:05:25.959 --> 00:05:27.720 But they didn't put a lot of pieces around him. 126 00:05:28.040 --> 00:05:30.480 They let him walk at the end and didn't keep him. 127 00:05:30.759 --> 00:05:34.439 And he's been nothing but mature and you know, respectful 128 00:05:34.480 --> 00:05:37.000 about his time in New York and not really wanting 129 00:05:37.040 --> 00:05:39.519 to kind of dance on their grave. And he seems 130 00:05:39.519 --> 00:05:40.439 like a really easy guy. 131 00:05:40.279 --> 00:05:40.680 To root for. 132 00:05:40.759 --> 00:05:43.040 And man, look, Derek Henry and Barkley this year, I 133 00:05:43.040 --> 00:05:46.560 think had special seasons at the running back position that 134 00:05:46.759 --> 00:05:50.519 I hope kind of, you know, changes how the league 135 00:05:50.600 --> 00:05:52.480 views that position, I doubt it will. I think you're 136 00:05:52.519 --> 00:05:55.720 still going to see very few running backs actually get drafted, 137 00:05:55.839 --> 00:05:59.839 especially early on in the earlier rounds, because again, let's 138 00:05:59.879 --> 00:06:02.279 be real, they are the outliers. Henry being able to 139 00:06:02.279 --> 00:06:04.120 play this good as he did this late in his 140 00:06:04.160 --> 00:06:06.480 career is something you just haven't seen for a while 141 00:06:06.560 --> 00:06:07.360 out of running backs. 142 00:06:07.360 --> 00:06:08.720 I mean, Barkley, I don't know. 143 00:06:08.680 --> 00:06:10.480 If he ever looked like he was washed up, but 144 00:06:10.480 --> 00:06:12.360 he had injuries and it never I mean, he had 145 00:06:12.360 --> 00:06:14.439 a better year this year than he ever had in 146 00:06:14.560 --> 00:06:16.120 New York. And again, I think more than anything, it's 147 00:06:16.160 --> 00:06:18.920 because he's with a winning culture. There's better pieces around him, 148 00:06:18.920 --> 00:06:22.000 so that stuff does matter. But that guess that's what 149 00:06:22.040 --> 00:06:25.240 will probably get me pulling for the Eagles and actually 150 00:06:25.279 --> 00:06:27.199 really wanting them to win. I mean I do, but 151 00:06:27.279 --> 00:06:28.920 it's more so right now because I just don't want 152 00:06:28.920 --> 00:06:29.639 it to be the Chiefs. 153 00:06:29.800 --> 00:06:31.120 But it would be a really good story. 154 00:06:30.879 --> 00:06:35.000 For Saquon Barkley to be able to not only win, 155 00:06:35.040 --> 00:06:37.240 but maybe he ends up being the MVP. And look, 156 00:06:37.240 --> 00:06:39.199 if he keeps playing the way he's playing, I think 157 00:06:39.279 --> 00:06:42.439 that'll likely be the who who the trophy goes to. 158 00:06:42.519 --> 00:06:44.399 Because he's just been he's just been that good. So 159 00:06:44.920 --> 00:06:47.879 I have fatigue with the Chiefs in a major way. 160 00:06:48.759 --> 00:06:51.000 But in the last twenty four hours roughly, since it's 161 00:06:51.040 --> 00:06:53.480 kind of set in that here they are again. They're 162 00:06:53.519 --> 00:06:56.079 probably gonna win, I certainly, and who knows, maybe they 163 00:06:56.120 --> 00:06:58.079 don't win, but I certainly won't be surprised if they do. 164 00:06:58.600 --> 00:07:00.399 And I just you know, I'm kind of at a 165 00:07:00.399 --> 00:07:03.959 crossroads here. Not that I'm gonna like start being a 166 00:07:03.959 --> 00:07:07.199 fan of the Chiefs and cheering for them, but I 167 00:07:07.240 --> 00:07:09.920 gotta find something to kind of just you know, neutralize 168 00:07:09.920 --> 00:07:12.000 it or not care as much and not be as 169 00:07:12.000 --> 00:07:14.759 big of a hater. Because if I'm sitting around on 170 00:07:14.759 --> 00:07:17.000 the edge of my seat just anybody but the Chiefs 171 00:07:17.000 --> 00:07:19.759 wanting them to fall apart and be bad, I think 172 00:07:19.800 --> 00:07:22.040 I'm gonna be miserable for many years to come, because 173 00:07:22.279 --> 00:07:25.560 I don't see this thing slowing down anytime soon. In fact, 174 00:07:25.560 --> 00:07:29.120 this year, they haven't looked as scary. They didn't visually 175 00:07:30.079 --> 00:07:32.319 put a lot of fear into teams. I don't think 176 00:07:32.399 --> 00:07:35.480 just because you know, they just didn't mean they still won. 177 00:07:35.560 --> 00:07:37.360 And that's all that really matters, right, You're not playing 178 00:07:37.399 --> 00:07:39.800 for style points in the NFL. Your resume doesn't matter 179 00:07:39.800 --> 00:07:41.759 in the NFL. You just need to win, and that's 180 00:07:41.759 --> 00:07:43.839 what they do. But I kind of felt like I actually, 181 00:07:44.519 --> 00:07:47.560 now that I think about it, I probably didn't say 182 00:07:47.560 --> 00:07:50.120 it much on the show. In fact, I probably continued 183 00:07:50.160 --> 00:07:52.720 to talk about how they don't look that great, but 184 00:07:52.759 --> 00:07:54.399 you know, you can never count them out. I think 185 00:07:54.399 --> 00:07:56.680 deep down, maybe I was lying to myself, and I 186 00:07:56.759 --> 00:07:58.639 was just thinking, Okay, they're gonna get humbled, right, they're 187 00:07:58.639 --> 00:08:01.639 gonna get beating the playoffs, going to start the conversation 188 00:08:01.759 --> 00:08:04.959 about their demise and that their best years are behind 189 00:08:05.000 --> 00:08:06.879 them and not in front of them. But I was 190 00:08:06.959 --> 00:08:10.560 lying to myself because you know, here we are like yesterday. Yeah, 191 00:08:10.560 --> 00:08:12.959 they had some things go their way, especially with that 192 00:08:13.079 --> 00:08:17.279 spot on fourth down. I mean they had some breaks 193 00:08:17.360 --> 00:08:19.600 go their way. Both teams did. In fact, every team 194 00:08:19.639 --> 00:08:22.560 that plays has occasionally a call that maybe went their 195 00:08:22.560 --> 00:08:24.639 way that shouldn't have. But you remember it about the 196 00:08:24.720 --> 00:08:26.879 Chiefs because more so than anybody else, because you hate 197 00:08:26.920 --> 00:08:29.360 them so much and because they make you pay. But 198 00:08:29.399 --> 00:08:31.279 like yesterday, they were just better than Buffalo, right. I 199 00:08:31.279 --> 00:08:33.120 don't think there was any luck with that. They were 200 00:08:33.159 --> 00:08:33.919 just a better team. 201 00:08:34.039 --> 00:08:36.039 On their first match up, Buffalo didn't. 202 00:08:35.879 --> 00:08:38.039 Trail like the entire four dominated them. 203 00:08:38.200 --> 00:08:41.080 And now the roles were like reversed, and you give 204 00:08:41.159 --> 00:08:44.080 Andy Reid an opportunity, and so I wouldn't even say 205 00:08:44.080 --> 00:08:46.919 so many people overlook them. But that's gotta be probably 206 00:08:46.960 --> 00:08:49.799 like the best coach in NFL history, right, he's got 207 00:08:49.840 --> 00:08:51.519 to be etched up there, Andy Reid does. 208 00:08:51.559 --> 00:08:55.120 Oh yeah, and he's been so good there. I forget 209 00:08:55.159 --> 00:08:58.080 that he coached the Chiefs or that he coached the Eagles. 210 00:08:58.200 --> 00:09:00.279 Yeah, and that was this thing you could never get 211 00:09:00.279 --> 00:09:01.639 over the hump in Philadelphia. 212 00:09:02.000 --> 00:09:05.879 Did I see something that he has more wins than 213 00:09:07.039 --> 00:09:08.879 is he the That can't be right. I thought I 214 00:09:08.919 --> 00:09:12.279 saw something that said he has the all time wins 215 00:09:12.360 --> 00:09:17.120 for both these franchises, the Eagles and the Chiefs. I mean, 216 00:09:17.120 --> 00:09:19.960 that doesn't sound right because he wasn't that good with Philadelphia. 217 00:09:20.480 --> 00:09:21.879 But there wasn't a lot at Philadelphia. 218 00:09:21.919 --> 00:09:23.440 Yeah, I know he won. In fact, he made the 219 00:09:23.440 --> 00:09:25.799 Super Bowl. I remember that was the McNabb too team. 220 00:09:26.159 --> 00:09:28.039 But I don't know, I can't think of any like 221 00:09:28.200 --> 00:09:31.279 great Kansas City coach Hank Stram, that guy that used 222 00:09:31.279 --> 00:09:33.799 to roam the sidelines with like the with like the 223 00:09:33.799 --> 00:09:37.399 top pat Herm Edwards, he has to have more wins. 224 00:09:37.200 --> 00:09:38.120 Than Herm Edwards. 225 00:09:38.159 --> 00:09:39.159 God, I forgot about Herm. 226 00:09:39.240 --> 00:09:39.440 Yeah. 227 00:09:39.440 --> 00:09:43.399 I obscurity of coaches that that that organization has had 228 00:09:43.440 --> 00:09:44.600 over the last few years. 229 00:09:45.159 --> 00:09:47.799 Andy Reid, he I've always thought he was a good 230 00:09:47.799 --> 00:09:50.039 coach and unfortunately. 231 00:09:49.480 --> 00:09:51.720 Romeo Crenell Todd Romeo. 232 00:09:52.120 --> 00:09:52.320 Yeah. 233 00:09:52.399 --> 00:09:56.440 But like there's Andy Reid has had some headlines in 234 00:09:56.480 --> 00:09:59.080 regards to like his family that have been something you 235 00:09:59.080 --> 00:10:02.639 don't typically see from NFL coaches, like his son and whatnot. 236 00:10:02.720 --> 00:10:07.360 And so I've always I mean, to me, he's somebody 237 00:10:07.399 --> 00:10:09.000 that I've just known is to be a good coach 238 00:10:09.039 --> 00:10:11.720 in the NFL. But now like he's clearly I mean 239 00:10:11.720 --> 00:10:14.519 he's legendary. I mean he's he's already done enough as 240 00:10:14.559 --> 00:10:16.600 it stands as far as just making the Super Bowl 241 00:10:16.960 --> 00:10:18.320 as many I mean, heck, if you make the Super 242 00:10:18.360 --> 00:10:20.320 Bowl with two teams in the NFL, like during your 243 00:10:20.360 --> 00:10:22.360 time as a coach, and you don't even if you 244 00:10:22.360 --> 00:10:24.759 don't win one, you still can claim that you know 245 00:10:24.799 --> 00:10:27.919 you've had success. But look there they're not. I don't 246 00:10:27.960 --> 00:10:30.279 see the Chiefs slowing down, and we're just gonna have 247 00:10:30.320 --> 00:10:32.080 to live with it. I will say this one of 248 00:10:32.120 --> 00:10:34.080 the things we did not talk about yet that I 249 00:10:34.080 --> 00:10:37.519 know has been a big talking point after the you know, 250 00:10:37.600 --> 00:10:39.559 and this is an this is an obvious thing anytime 251 00:10:39.639 --> 00:10:43.559 you watch football. But I think the Chiefs maybe maybe 252 00:10:43.600 --> 00:10:48.639 benefiting from there, you know, there being no technology technology 253 00:10:48.679 --> 00:10:51.360 involved a's far as spotting the ball. That's when it 254 00:10:51.360 --> 00:10:53.840 becomes a bigger conversation where you see people saying, well, 255 00:10:53.840 --> 00:10:56.240 the NFL, with a billion dollar business, you got to 256 00:10:56.240 --> 00:10:57.759 be able to do something to where they can't just 257 00:10:58.120 --> 00:11:00.519 trust the judgment of some guy on the sideline that 258 00:11:00.559 --> 00:11:03.080 the ball got to where it needed to go for 259 00:11:03.159 --> 00:11:04.759 a team to get a first down or be denied 260 00:11:04.799 --> 00:11:05.399 of a first down. 261 00:11:05.399 --> 00:11:06.039 That kind of stuff. 262 00:11:06.080 --> 00:11:10.720 And I mean wouldn't be shocked, It wouldn't shock me 263 00:11:11.000 --> 00:11:14.080 if they were able to develop something. In fact, I 264 00:11:14.080 --> 00:11:16.200 didn't even realize this until last night when it became 265 00:11:16.240 --> 00:11:20.399 a bigger talking point that the USFL they put a 266 00:11:20.440 --> 00:11:24.759 recent chip in the ball that they use and they 267 00:11:24.919 --> 00:11:27.759 that's how they spot it. And I guess the UFL 268 00:11:27.840 --> 00:11:31.440 does something similar with cameras, so like it is possible, 269 00:11:32.360 --> 00:11:34.279 and I guess these two leagues have shown that, like 270 00:11:34.320 --> 00:11:36.559 from a technological standpoint, like you can do it. 271 00:11:36.600 --> 00:11:38.759 I've just assumed that that would be way that would be. 272 00:11:39.000 --> 00:11:42.240 There'd be You're opening up so much opportunity for the 273 00:11:42.279 --> 00:11:45.559 technology not to work and it get you know, like 274 00:11:45.720 --> 00:11:48.559 I just I don't know. There's amazing things we can 275 00:11:48.600 --> 00:11:52.039 do technologically that that blows my mind. So having you know, 276 00:11:52.159 --> 00:11:55.000 something inside of a football they can quite literally tell 277 00:11:55.039 --> 00:11:57.159 you somebody got to the line they needed to get to, 278 00:11:57.399 --> 00:11:59.519 like they wouldn't be crazy. I just feel like if 279 00:11:59.519 --> 00:12:01.720 that wasn't to work and you were trusting it, like 280 00:12:01.799 --> 00:12:04.279 you'd have the ultimate like not know what to do. 281 00:12:04.799 --> 00:12:06.919 But it is, you know, to see. 282 00:12:06.720 --> 00:12:09.200 That other leagues that you know, play football that don't 283 00:12:09.240 --> 00:12:11.960 have the budget the resources that the NFL does, you know, 284 00:12:12.000 --> 00:12:14.960 maybe eventually they will do something. But again, I feel 285 00:12:15.000 --> 00:12:17.720 like that's the kind of thing that comes up that 286 00:12:18.080 --> 00:12:20.080 only comes up the way it does. And there's that 287 00:12:20.159 --> 00:12:23.480 many people outraged about the NFL not having technology be 288 00:12:23.519 --> 00:12:25.600 a part of it because it's the Chiefs and everybody's mad, 289 00:12:25.879 --> 00:12:28.120 Like I bet that happens in every playoff game to 290 00:12:28.159 --> 00:12:31.600 an extent, right, there's a guy going forward on well, actually, no, 291 00:12:31.639 --> 00:12:33.320 you could even go for a third down and not 292 00:12:33.360 --> 00:12:34.879 get it, so then you got a punt, right and 293 00:12:34.919 --> 00:12:37.320 if the if they had the technology then you then 294 00:12:37.360 --> 00:12:38.960 maybe you would you would have gotten it. It would have 295 00:12:38.960 --> 00:12:41.360 extended the drive and you could win. So the one 296 00:12:41.360 --> 00:12:43.159 thing that that is worth mentioning, and I don't know 297 00:12:43.159 --> 00:12:45.759 when they do it, but there are plans apparently to 298 00:12:45.840 --> 00:12:49.799 address the problem with Mahomes doing his flopping and sliding, 299 00:12:49.840 --> 00:12:53.320 which again that's I mean, I get why that's I mean, 300 00:12:53.360 --> 00:12:56.480 that's probably been talked about more than anything when it 301 00:12:56.519 --> 00:12:59.559 comes to Mahomes and preferential treatment is that he is 302 00:12:59.639 --> 00:13:02.480 Manique mulating officials and they don't know what to do 303 00:13:02.559 --> 00:13:05.639 because man, they're forced to always keep players safety in mind. 304 00:13:06.080 --> 00:13:09.000 These players, you know, built like automobiles are coming at him, 305 00:13:09.279 --> 00:13:12.879 and Mahomes knows how to how to get away with it. 306 00:13:13.039 --> 00:13:16.039 He knows that refs are going to always probably want 307 00:13:16.080 --> 00:13:18.200 to take care of the quarterback and keep him safe, 308 00:13:18.480 --> 00:13:21.399 especially him, you know, the face of the league. So 309 00:13:21.600 --> 00:13:24.639 I mean I kind of fe I get while Mahomes 310 00:13:24.679 --> 00:13:27.120 gets criticized for that, but again, as a competitor, he's 311 00:13:27.159 --> 00:13:29.519 probably just realizing, Hey, if I got the ability to 312 00:13:29.519 --> 00:13:30.279 take advantage of this. 313 00:13:30.320 --> 00:13:31.440 I'm going to take advantage of it. 314 00:13:31.480 --> 00:13:32.200 Yeah, he's smart. 315 00:13:32.320 --> 00:13:33.600 Yeah, So there. 316 00:13:33.480 --> 00:13:37.600 Was the late call that they yeah it was it 317 00:13:37.679 --> 00:13:39.759 was a roughing call on Mahomes when he tried to 318 00:13:39.799 --> 00:13:43.080 slide when they played the Texans and two players collided 319 00:13:43.120 --> 00:13:46.000 and they were clearly not They were trying to figure out, Okay, 320 00:13:46.039 --> 00:13:48.200 we know what we can't do. Does it look like 321 00:13:48.240 --> 00:13:50.639 he's about to slide? And it's like he knows as 322 00:13:50.679 --> 00:13:53.480 soon as he can read that the defender has committed 323 00:13:53.639 --> 00:13:56.519 to making some level of contact. He's got the ability 324 00:13:56.600 --> 00:13:58.840 to just you know, make it look like he was 325 00:13:58.879 --> 00:14:01.759 trying to slide ahead of time. And you know, again, 326 00:14:02.320 --> 00:14:04.320 nobody's got to like this. And I'm sure it's not 327 00:14:04.559 --> 00:14:08.799 something that's premeditated, but refs are humans, and I think 328 00:14:09.519 --> 00:14:13.120 more often than not in that situation, Patrick Mahomes, you 329 00:14:13.159 --> 00:14:15.399 know the face of the NFL. A guy that's that good, 330 00:14:15.600 --> 00:14:18.399 he's gonna get that call more times than he's not. 331 00:14:18.679 --> 00:14:21.320 And that's that's just the way that it is. But 332 00:14:21.360 --> 00:14:25.000 I'm seeing here that there. Yeah, this is from let's see, 333 00:14:25.440 --> 00:14:28.399 I'm gonna cite my sources here. This is from ESPN 334 00:14:28.440 --> 00:14:31.279 dot com. I'm reading an excerpt that got put up 335 00:14:31.279 --> 00:14:33.720 in Barstool Sports, but the original article is from ESPN. 336 00:14:34.279 --> 00:14:38.279 It says amid Mahomes angst NFL eys replay on sidelines 337 00:14:38.279 --> 00:14:39.879 for all. It says, for all those complaining that the 338 00:14:39.960 --> 00:14:42.519 Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes gets too many calls, 339 00:14:42.840 --> 00:14:45.679 relief soon could be on the way. NFL Replay Assist 340 00:14:45.840 --> 00:14:49.039 is expected to expand this offseason into plays that could 341 00:14:49.080 --> 00:14:52.759 include the quarterback slide. That's something that was said over 342 00:14:52.759 --> 00:14:55.399 the weekend. According to ESPN says, the NFL enacted Replay 343 00:14:55.440 --> 00:14:58.480 Assist in twenty twenty one to allow replay officials and 344 00:14:58.519 --> 00:15:02.159 designated members of the official Officiating Department to assist with 345 00:15:02.279 --> 00:15:06.440 on field calls in limited game situations. Replay Assist has 346 00:15:06.480 --> 00:15:09.000 been used during games where there is clear and obvious 347 00:15:09.080 --> 00:15:11.600 video evidence such as the spot of the ball or 348 00:15:11.600 --> 00:15:14.720 a foul, a complete or incomplete pass and touching of 349 00:15:14.759 --> 00:15:16.559 the ball, or a line. 350 00:15:16.759 --> 00:15:20.120 So, yeah, that replay assists this year has been so weird. 351 00:15:20.360 --> 00:15:22.279 Yeah, they can pick and choose when they want to 352 00:15:22.399 --> 00:15:25.440 use it, and different foul calls don't count face mask 353 00:15:25.799 --> 00:15:28.679 and other personal It's just been weird. If you're going 354 00:15:28.720 --> 00:15:31.159 to have that extra eye in the sky, then commit 355 00:15:31.240 --> 00:15:31.519 to it. 356 00:15:31.600 --> 00:15:33.799 Yeah, in the NFL, by the way, they could have 357 00:15:33.879 --> 00:15:35.919 some goofs and still not have to worry about losing 358 00:15:36.000 --> 00:15:40.200 viewership because that's how much they dominate. But where they 359 00:15:40.240 --> 00:15:45.639 really should consider like consistency and you know, like you 360 00:15:45.679 --> 00:15:49.080 shouldn't have people confused. And I know that can happen 361 00:15:49.080 --> 00:15:51.120 for those who don't watch football that closely, who really 362 00:15:51.159 --> 00:15:53.360 don't understand the rules, But people who've watched it their 363 00:15:53.360 --> 00:15:55.799 whole life are probably questioning what Austin just mentioned, like 364 00:15:55.799 --> 00:15:58.039 wait a second, if they have the ability, why aren't 365 00:15:58.039 --> 00:15:59.559 they looking at it more? But then again you think 366 00:15:59.559 --> 00:16:02.200 to yourself, well, that'll impact the experience if we have 367 00:16:02.240 --> 00:16:04.279 to call if we have so much stoppage where. 368 00:16:04.080 --> 00:16:05.039 You're reviewing everything. 369 00:16:05.480 --> 00:16:07.159 But that's why it's tricky, Like if you have the 370 00:16:07.519 --> 00:16:10.799 that's why when it comes to having the ability to 371 00:16:10.840 --> 00:16:14.519 go review anything in sports, I just think you put 372 00:16:14.600 --> 00:16:16.559 your I mean again that you would think that's what 373 00:16:16.639 --> 00:16:18.159 you want right, make sure you get it right. But 374 00:16:18.200 --> 00:16:22.279 when it's selective and you don't always go double check 375 00:16:22.360 --> 00:16:26.200 something that you have the ability to review, to me again, 376 00:16:26.440 --> 00:16:28.279 I get why that you only do it on certain 377 00:16:28.320 --> 00:16:31.080 instances because you don't want stoppage after every dead ball. 378 00:16:31.159 --> 00:16:33.960 And you may have that right if if reps could 379 00:16:34.000 --> 00:16:36.080 tell you every time they think you got a call wrong, 380 00:16:36.120 --> 00:16:37.480 you need to go look at it, Like I mean 381 00:16:37.480 --> 00:16:38.840 that you would never be able to do that. 382 00:16:38.840 --> 00:16:39.720 That's not realistic. 383 00:16:40.120 --> 00:16:43.840 But there being things that you know you can't review, 384 00:16:45.080 --> 00:16:47.200 but you know it because you got it wrong. It's 385 00:16:47.200 --> 00:16:49.720 going to impact who wins or loses. Like that to 386 00:16:49.759 --> 00:16:53.279 me is just an awful, awful thing that is that 387 00:16:53.360 --> 00:16:55.399 exists currently in sports. I don't know how you fix it, 388 00:16:55.440 --> 00:16:57.799 because again I think when you have the ability to 389 00:16:57.799 --> 00:16:59.840 fix it, you should And there's been many times where 390 00:16:59.840 --> 00:17:02.600 you're glad your team was able to have the benefit 391 00:17:02.639 --> 00:17:05.519 of a replay to change it. But there's also times 392 00:17:05.519 --> 00:17:07.759 where well, you can't review that, so therefore, what are 393 00:17:07.799 --> 00:17:10.799 you going to do? Like again, we're all fans of sports. 394 00:17:10.799 --> 00:17:12.160 I don't think there's much they could do to make 395 00:17:12.240 --> 00:17:15.240 us not watch it. But whenever it's selective and it's 396 00:17:15.279 --> 00:17:17.759 not consistent as far as hey, our job out here 397 00:17:17.799 --> 00:17:18.480 is to get it right. 398 00:17:18.640 --> 00:17:21.039 Like I just think it's not steered me away. 399 00:17:20.880 --> 00:17:23.559 From watching, and clearly viewership and the most popular sports 400 00:17:23.599 --> 00:17:27.519 around here is not declining because of the stoppage and 401 00:17:27.559 --> 00:17:29.839
