3:11
Yeah, it's been a crazy 1, ladies and gentlemen, and
3:13
Speedy, stop typing. You're annoying as you always
3:16
are with your. You know what?
3:19
It it really, really bothers me. This kid types like he's about
3:25
to attack a walrus or attack a ball.
3:29
The guy just types and types and types and types.
3:33
He's like killing the the keyboard and I keep telling him
3:37
learn how to type. Learn how to type where it's not
3:40
going to break the keyboard. How many keyboards have you
3:42
broken so far It on on our show in the past, Speedy.
3:46
It's got to be at least one or two of them.
3:48
The guy doesn't know how to type, ladies and gentlemen, but
3:51
I had an interesting weekend. And by the way, I don't know if
3:53
anybody got a chance to enjoy the snow.
3:56
We enjoyed about 6 1/2 inches of snow here in Long Island, so it
4:01
was crazy. And then obviously snowing.
4:05
While it was snowing, I was trying to shovel it.
4:08
My landlord is been on vacation, so it's been all me with my
4:12
back, my lower back and all that other stuff.
4:15
I was actually plowing the snow off to the side.
4:20
So yeah, I I was dealing with that and I got a chance to enjoy
4:23
the Heisman Trophy awards. I got a chance to meet Mendoza
4:29
and all the guys Jeremiah Love, I got a chance to meet all of
4:33
them. They were all fans saying they
4:35
were all great, great guys. And obviously anybody that's
4:39
ever been to the award show and in the media end of it, I've
4:43
never seen anything like it. When Mendoza was coming into the
4:47
media room after winning the award, his pals, all the guys
4:52
that came with him to enjoy possibly him winning the Heisman
4:56
Trophy, went crazy. I have video on it.
4:58
We're working on cutting it up and posting it up on social
5:02
media. I wrote a story.
5:03
Go check it out on the Worldwide Sports Radio website.
5:06
It is fantastic. It's a great story and so
5:10
gracious. The man is such a nice kid, he
5:13
really is. And after winning the award and
5:16
his coach got a chance to speak a little bit to the media, he
5:20
told all the kids, enjoy this weekend because on Monday we're
5:23
going to get back to work and get ready for possibly on a
5:27
national national championship run.
5:29
So you can tell what Indiana wants to do.
5:33
And what Indiana is planning to do is, is go through this
5:36
tournament and and win their first national championship.
5:39
So it's been a crazy, crazy weekend for me.
5:43
And then I got a chance to see him.
5:44
I've never seen a winner, a Heisman Trophy winner in New
5:49
York City. Now we were at the Marquis
5:53
Marriott over there. I think it's called the Marriott
5:56
Marquis. Marriott Marquis.
5:57
Yeah, and I was right there. It's right there in Times
6:00
Square. It's right in the middle of
6:01
Times Square off of 46. And what is so cool about it is
6:07
after he won the award and he was done with the media and his
6:10
coach was speaking to the media, the kid went downstairs with his
6:13
his teammates and he went to the middle of Times Square with his
6:18
trophy and had all the fans, all the people at Times Square enjoy
6:23
this win. Enjoy this Heisman Trophy win
6:28
from, you know, Mendoza. And it celebrated it in the
6:30
middle of Times Square with all the fans and everybody screaming
6:34
and, and screaming JETS, jets, Jets, Jets.
6:37
And all this, all the crazy stuff that I got a chance to
6:40
experience. It was crazy.
6:42
And I got to give Mendoza a lot of credit.
6:44
I mean, he knows how to handle himself.
6:46
I've never seen a player handle the, the Heisman, winning the
6:52
Heisman, his speech that he made to his mother, his brother, his
6:56
father, his grandparents that were there and, and just how
7:00
gracious he was to just be there and be a part of that award
7:03
ceremony. And you got to like it.
7:06
If you're a Jet fan, you're a Giant fan, cuz heck, I, I'm not
7:09
saying the Giants are going to move away from Jackson Dart.
7:12
I'm not saying I'm not making any rumors.
7:13
I'm not pressing on it, but the Giants have to look at Fernando
7:18
Mendoza in the offseason. I, I, if they're drafting at 1
7:22
and you get a chance to land a player like this.
7:25
The guy knows how to speak to the media.
7:27
He's pretty. He's very soft spoken.
7:30
He knows how to answer questions.
7:31
He's good with the New York market and the media over there.
7:34
All the writers, everybody love the kid.
7:37
Everybody love the kid. I'm not saying nobody likes
7:39
Jackson Dart, but you could tell that he fits here in New York.
7:44
So if if you want to ask my honest opinion for all The Jets
7:47
fans out there and all the Giant fans, no matter who gets him and
7:51
I think it's going to be one of the New York teams.
7:54
I know Las Vegas is sitting there, but I think no matter
7:56
what, I think The Jets are going to trade up to try to get
7:58
Mendoza. If the Giants are sitting there
8:01
at 1. I think the Giants really need
8:03
and depending on who their GM is going to be if Joshen gets fired
8:06
and who their coach is going to be, you're going to have to make
8:08
a decision. Do you believe that Jackson Dart
8:11
is going to stay healthy and Jackson Dart your guy or you
8:15
make a move, you trade, man, you trade Jackson dart during the
8:19
during the draft or before the draft and you go after Mendoza
8:23
at one. That's the way I would go.
8:25
And I honestly, I, I, I know I'm not a giant fan, but I wouldn't
8:30
be upset if the Giants landed a guy like Mendoza because I think
8:34
Mendoza fits wherever he goes, especially here in New York.
8:37
The Jets are the Giants. I'm going to root this kid on I,
8:40
I think the kid has that, that that kind of spunk to him that
8:44
kind of makes you feel that this guy is perfect for the New York
8:48
market, the New York media and he fits really that, that
8:53
picture perfect position as the starting quarterback of any one
8:58
of these New York teams. The Kansas City Chiefs fell to
9:01
the LA Chargers 16 to 13 on Sunday, eliminating them from
9:05
the NFL playoffs for the first time in the Patrick Mahomes era.
9:11
This ends a run of seven straight AFC championship game
9:15
appearances, and it's their first time missing the playoffs
9:18
since 2014. Late in the game, Mahomes went
9:23
down with a torn ACL and LCL. Mahomes already had surgery done
9:29
by the Cowboys head team doctor, who also worked on Dak
9:33
Prescott's name. While it's too While it's too
9:37
early to tell how he will recover, Mahomes is expected to
9:43
return. His return date is September
9:46
15th, meaning he may only miss the first game or so next
9:52
season. The Chiefs have been their own
9:55
worst enemy in 2025 and beat themselves with drops second
10:01
most in the NFL and penalties tied for seventh most in the
10:05
NFL. One AFC executive said that the
10:08
Chief Chiefs look tired this year and weren't playing with
10:13
the same energy, particular with particularly from veteran
10:18
players like Chris Jones, Travis Kelsey after playing 81 games in
10:22
the last Four Seasons. All we have now are questions
10:27
for the for for the the former dynasty.
10:30
Will the Chiefs rebound from the loss of Mahomes?
10:34
Will Travis Kelsey return for another season?
10:36
And will the coaching staff stay stay together and try to keep
10:41
the magic going? I do not believe Spagnolo will
10:45
be there next year. I I think you'll interview for a
10:48
couple of jobs. He's been one of the best
10:50
defensive coordinators in the NFL.
10:52
There's no question that he has been, he's really developed some
10:55
of these young talented corners over the last couple years.
10:58
Sneed, who's now moved on in his career, they they've, they've
11:02
built a great franchise of players and, and talent and, and
11:07
you could say this has been a great dynasty and everybody
11:10
wants to give Andy Reid all the credit.
11:12
But I would beg to differ on that.
11:14
I think Andy Reid is a big part of the growth of some of these
11:17
young players and Patrick Mahomes.
11:19
But I think obviously people don't recognize how important
11:23
Spagnosa has been for the Kansas City Chiefs.
11:27
And to me, losing Mahomes for a little bit of time because it
11:32
seems like he's not going to miss much time.
11:34
He's going to be pushed and rushed back.
11:36
I don't know if Travis Kelsey is going to retire.
11:38
I think Travis Kelsey could absolutely play another season
11:42
if Patrick Mahomes and and the Kansas City Chiefs believe that
11:45
he'll be back early next season in 2026.
11:50
What I will say about this franchise over the last two
11:53
seasons is last year, I think a lot of the games were won by the
11:58
referees. Some of the calls that happened
12:00
in the game that a lot of people believe that the NFL wanted to
12:03
see them go to the Super Bowl, wanted to see the Kansas City
12:06
Chiefs make the playoffs and make a run.
12:08
And they did go to the Super Bowl and get their butts whipped
12:11
by a really talented Eagles team.
12:14
But this year, they didn't have so much luck.
12:16
The AFC has been all over the place.
12:18
Everybody thought that the Baltimore Ravens were going to
12:21
run away with their division. Everybody thought that the
12:24
Buffalo Bills were going to run away with their division.
12:27
Everybody thought that Kansas City, no matter ups and downs in
12:30
the offseason, they were going to run away with their division.
12:33
But who got better? Well, the Chargers got better.
12:37
The Broncos got better. The Steelers, I don't know what
12:41
they got, but better. The Patriots got better and
12:45
younger and a new coach. Things change in the NFL.
12:50
In any other sport, you could be the worst team one year and the
12:53
best team the next. Ask the Patriots and and that's
12:58
the transition. When you watch the NFL from all
13:00
the other sports, the NBA, if you have two superstars, you're
13:03
definitely making the playoffs. You're definitely going to be a
13:06
top five team in the NHL if you have players like Connor McDavid
13:10
or you make a move and you have the number one pick and you have
13:13
a Matthew Schaefer. That's just absolutely so eye
13:16
appealing and everybody sees the difference of the way the
13:19
Islanders are playing with the youngster playing as well and as
13:22
fast as he has. And then you watch other sports
13:27
and, and the transition of other sports and, and the way these
13:30
players are playing baseball, for instance, you make a trade
13:33
or two, you, you sign people with deferred money.
13:36
Hey, you're, you're automatically a World Series
13:39
championship team. But are you?
13:42
Because we've seen a baseball is the hardest sport to really
13:45
recognize who is going to make the playoffs and who's going to
13:48
make a run every single year because of injuries.
13:52
The only exact team that I can put pinpoint every single year,
13:55
the only two teams that you always can say that are in the
13:58
mix is the Yankees, who have what, 35 winning seasons in a
14:02
row, which is the longest streak I've ever seen in professional
14:06
sports history. I don't think that's a streak
14:07
that'll ever be broken. I think it's 3435.
14:10
And then there's obviously the Dodgers, who have been
14:15
baseball's dynasty over the last eight years, and they're going
14:20
to continue to win because they added Edwin Diaz, a position
14:23
that they needed to fill and a weakness that they needed to
14:27
fill in the offseason, and now they did that.
14:30
With football, it's different. You draft the player a position
14:35
of need. If this guy's a superstar, can
14:38
change everything. You make a couple of trades in
14:41
the offseason. You bring in some free agents to
14:44
fill in spots that are weak and you're automatically, if you
14:47
have a star quarterback, you're automatically a contender.
14:51
If Patrick Mahomes comes back next year and the beginning of
14:53
the season and let's say Tyree Kill becomes available and Tyree
14:59
Kill is maybe 80% of what he was when he was playing for Kansas
15:04
City, he changes everything for the Kansas City Chiefs.
15:09
If they make a move and they bring in Breece Hall because The
15:13
Jets might franchise them and The Jets are looking for a third
15:15
round pick, maybe in the offseason they're willing to
15:18
give The Jets a third round pick and they add Bruce Hall to the
15:21
mix, they're automatically a Super Bowl contending team.
15:25
Why? Because they're Patrick Mahomes.
15:28
And what's so interesting about football, and I could go over
15:32
and over and over and over and over again about it, there's
15:36
only seven teams in the NFL that have a true franchise
15:40
quarterback. Seven teams.
15:44
The other teams are. There's a question.
15:46
There's always a question mark. I don't think Trevor Lawrence is
15:48
a franchise quarterback. He's getting paid like one.
15:51
He's having a good season. Do I think Trevor Lawrence is a
15:54
franchise quarterback making $55 million?
15:57
The answer would be no. Dak Prescott, say whatever you
16:01
want about him, He is to me a franchise quarterback.
16:05
He's done it year in and year out.
16:08
He doesn't win in the playoffs. A lot of quarterbacks don't.
16:10
We can go back in time. Did Dan Marino ever win a Super
16:14
Bowl? The answer would be no.
16:17
You're going to blame Dan Marino on why he never won a Super
16:19
Bowl? Dan Marino is one of the
16:21
greatest quarterbacks we've ever seen.
16:24
So we could go back and forth. Philip Rivers, look, he came
16:27
back 44 years old, actually played fairly decent.
16:31
I mean, he didn't throw 200 yards.
16:33
But for a guy that hasn't stepped on an NFL football field
16:36
for five years since COVID, he had a chance to win a game.
16:40
He had a chance to take his team to the playoffs.
16:42
It still has a chance to take the Colts to the playoffs.
16:46
Things happen in the NFL that you couldn't even imagine.
16:50
I did not think Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs would
16:54
not be in the mix to be a Super Bowl contender this year.
16:59
And they were out pretty much for the last three weeks.
17:04
They were in the mix because that's the way it works.
17:06
But I didn't think the Kansas City Chiefs were making the play
17:09
offs. Even if Patrick Mahomes went
17:11
down or didn't go down, they were never making the play offs.
17:14
There's so many weaknesses that need to be filled in for the
17:17
Kansas City Chiefs and injuries change everything.
17:21
I'll say it again, Michael Parsons going down the way he
17:24
did this past weekend, does this say that the the the Packers
17:28
don't have a chance to make the playoffs?
17:30
The answer would be they have a chance.
17:32
They had a chance last year and it's practically the same team.
17:35
They got read back. But you made that move for
17:37
Michael Parsons. You're paying Michael, Michael
17:39
Parsons $48 million. That's a lot of money.
17:43
You paid him a significant amount of money in the offseason
17:46
after making that trade because you expect he was going to be
17:49
the game changing player that's going to get you over the hump
17:52
and get you to the Super Bowl. Now you'll lose him for the
17:55
season, maybe for half the season next year, maybe the full
17:58
season next year. Remember, a quarterback position
18:01
and a defensive lineman are two different positions.
18:04
You're you're playing off the you're, you're playing at behind
18:07
center, you're playing off the ball as a defensive player.
18:11
So and you're using your legs, your ankles, your knees, your,
18:14
your whole body to get to that quarterback.
18:17
It's a little bit more torque on the on the knee.
18:20
I don't know when Michael Parsons going to come back, but
18:22
that's the difference. One player can change
18:24
everything, everything. And again with football, we
18:30
don't know who is going to go to the Super Bowl.
18:33
As a matter of fact, for years over the last couple of years,
18:36
Kansas City was almost a shoe in to make the AFC title game
18:39
seven, what is it, 7 AFC title games in a row.
18:43
So the the bets would have been in before the season started
18:46
that Kansas City was going to the Super Bowl or we're going to
18:50
the AFC title game. So this is a shocker.
18:54
And to watch a guy like Mahomes go down the way he did, holding
18:58
his knee, it's scary, but it just.
19:01
How do you but how do you think him going down obviously this as
19:05
late as is in the season? How do you think that affects
19:08
like the franchise and like in everybody on the team?
19:12
Like like you pointed out with Kelsey, it's like is does he
19:15
make a decision knowing that that Pat's going to come back?
19:18
Yes. Do you think changes the dynamic
19:20
of people wanting to either come there or like, hey, if I'm up
19:23
for contract or if they're one of the teams that are looking me
19:25
in the offseason? You think like the uncertainty
19:28
of knowing when or when he won't come back will affect it like
19:34
long term and not just short term.
19:36
Job you just gave the answer if Kelsey, if you're hearing right
19:40
now from the the Kansas City Chiefs and and and obviously he
19:43
just went for surgery. He went to get his surgery right
19:46
away. So he's got what 5 months to
19:48
heal, six months to heal before pre season or before he has to
19:54
get on the OTAs and he's not going to even get on the field
19:56
with OTAs. He'll probably be ready after
19:59
the preseason, second or first game, if you're hearing that.
20:03
And he believes he'll be back. You know, Patrick Mahomes will
20:05
be back either Week 1 or Week 2. And they already know that.
20:09
So, yeah, I if Kelsey knows that Patrick Mahomes will be back
20:12
early, why wouldn't he come back to try to win another Super
20:15
Bowl? He has a chance to be this this
20:21
this decade. Of talent when it comes to tight
20:24
ends. We've seen so many great tight
20:25
ends. We talk about Antonio Gates, we
20:27
talk about Gonzalez, we talk about Gronk, Travis Kelsey and
20:31
he had a good season. Travis Kelsey didn't have a bad
20:33
season. He had a pretty good season.
20:35
Travis Kelsey has a chance to be the greatest tight end of all
20:39
time. He's breaking.
20:40
He's broken a lot of records. But if he plays another year or
20:44
two, Travis Kelsey might have every single record in NFL
20:48
issue. You know, he's the greatest
20:49
tight end as far as the playoffs are concerned when it comes to,
20:53
I think, touchdowns and yards per catch.
20:56
So we all know what Travis Kelsey is and how talented
20:59
Travis Kelsey is. And his brother Jason walked
21:02
away from a chance to win another Super Bowl.
21:05
He won, won. He could have won too, but that
21:07
was his decision after making or getting $100 million from a
21:10
sponsor with his podcast. I don't know if Travis Kelsey is
21:14
ready to leave. And I think he's got more to
21:17
prove. And I think knowing that Patrick
21:18
Mahomes will be back early, I don't think he's going anywhere.
21:21
I think that knowing that that story came out recently or the
21:25
last 24 hours that Patrick Mahomes could be back in Week 1
21:28
and Week 2 tells me that Travis Kelsey is definitely going to be
21:31
back next year. But the fact here is, is Kansas
21:37
City better next year with a Patrick Mahomes that might not
21:43
be able to move inside and out of the pocket anymore.
21:45
He might have to stay stagnant in the middle, you know, as a,
21:49
as not a mobile quarterback, as a pocket pressing quarterback.
21:52
Now Patrick Mahomes is, and I've, I, I don't remember who I
21:56
was speaking to. He's one of the, I think it was
21:58
Jeff that told me this. Patrick Mahomes is one of the
22:01
worst pocket percentage quarterbacks in the NFL, and
22:07
he's one of the best when it comes to moving outside of the
22:09
pocket and making throws on the run.
22:11
So think about this. Patrick Mahomes.
22:13
His weakness is standing in the pocket and picking people apart
22:18
in the open field. And what makes him so strong at
22:21
the position is he can move inside and out of the pocket.
22:24
And because he's so accurate and he does these crazy things with
22:26
his left and his and his right hand, he can make any throw on
22:31
the on the run. So does this change the dynamic
22:35
of the greatness of of a guy like Patrick Mahomes in in his
22:39
first season back from an injury like this?
22:41
I don't know. It didn't change Tom Brady.
22:44
Now, Tom Brady was a pocket quarterback.
22:46
He's not. He didn't use mobility as one of
22:49
his strengths. Patrick Mahomes does.
22:51
So this could change the dynamic of who Patrick Mahomes is going
22:54
to be or what he is going to be next year, which could change
22:58
the factors on who wants to go over there and play with the
23:01
Kansas City Chiefs. Because everybody knows when,
23:04
when these free agents become available, they're going to
23:06
teams, especially when they're at the tail end of their career.
23:09
They're coming to the age of 30. They want to win a Super Bowl.
23:13
Over the years, teams, players want to go to Patrick Mahomes
23:16
and the Kansas City Chiefs because they're always going to
23:19
be in the conversation. Are they going to be in the
23:22
conversation next year? The Broncos are going to be
23:25
maybe even better next year. They still have a lot of money
23:27
that they can spend their defenses absolutely fantastic.
23:30
Bonex looked pretty good in the second-half of the season.
23:33
Maybe they had another wide receiver when they become
23:35
available. Maybe they go after George
23:37
Pickens. The Broncos can make that move
23:39
in the offseason and bring in George Pickens And and their
23:43
weakness was that secondary wide receiver, which they've been
23:45
lacking this year. And if they fall short, I and
23:49
and they're they've been one of the best teams in the NFL all
23:51
season long. How about the New England
23:54
Patriots? The Patriots they do have they
23:57
have digs. Diggs is at the tail end of his
23:59
career. He had a decent season.
24:01
But maybe they want to bring in George Pickens.
24:03
They got money. Why wouldn't they want to bring
24:05
in George Pickens? So maybe The Jets, The Jets got
24:08
money. Maybe The Jets want to bring in
24:10
George Pickens so one player can change.
24:13
Look at the look at the the Cowboys.
24:15
The Cowboys were one of the best offensive teams in the league
24:17
this year. But guess what?
24:19
They lost Michael Parsons. They they went from, I wouldn't
24:23
say one of the best defensive teams, one of the top 12 top 13
24:26
defensive teams in the league to really top 20 or 2020 second in
24:32
the league when it comes to all-purpose yards.
24:34
So one player can change the factor of your team in the NFL.
24:39
So when you look at the the fact that Patrick Mahomes went down,
24:42
I wrote a story and you could go check that out on the Worldwide
24:45
Sports Radio Network. I was talking about the the
24:48
differences of the field and why I believe that turf and grass
24:53
have affected these ACL injuries and these Achilles injuries.
24:57
And I fish actually texted me off, you know, off the the story
25:01
that he read. He says it's a sensational
25:03
story, but he says, you do realize that Patrick Mahomes and
25:07
Micah Parsons went down on grass.
25:09
And I said, I do know that. He says, you know, people are
25:11
going to attack you for that. And I said, yeah, I know.
25:14
But again, I'm looking at how many injuries have happened this
25:18
year more over the last couple years on turf.
25:21
There's more injuries on turf than there ever has been on
25:23
grass. And we've had below Powell on
25:25
the show and he he gave you his take on it and Speedy, what did
25:29
he say below Powell said what would he rather play on easily
25:32
grass? Why?
25:33
Because there is, even though you do lose speed, it's much
25:37
easier for you to have a natural running motion and where you're
25:41
not like trying to cut, you're trying to like be agile and type
25:44
of player. Powell was especially.
25:45
And what did he say about cleats?
25:46
Yeah, he said. The cleats get caught all the
25:48
time and they get tangled and that's where a lot of these
25:50
injuries end up happening, especially with the newer turf.
25:52
Yes, so the clutch could be a big problem too on why these
25:55
injuries happen, as we brought that up in the NBAI told
25:59
everybody, why do I think all these Achilles injuries are
26:03
happening right now in the NBA? Maybe it's the sneakers, the
26:06
product and the way they're developing these sneakers with
26:09
science. That could be the factor that
26:12
could be the problem. But to that point too, when
26:14
you're talking about like factors that go into it, I'll
26:16
never forget when we switched and and got a brand new facility
26:21
and our soccer team was the first team to use this.
26:24
And when you lay turf down, you're supposed to roll it and
26:28
do all the other stuff, water and like and try to make it feel
26:30
as much as it is, which it doesn't feel anything like it.
26:34
But they had three blown Acls in literally 3 weeks of fall pride
26:39
before they even started playing.
26:41
And they're like, with what are we going to do here?
26:43
Like we can't keep. And so they just built this
26:45
brand new facility and now they're building another $200
26:47
million facility. But back then it, it kind of
26:51
goes back to what you're saying is, is now they've transitioned
26:55
where they rebuilt their practice field is now grass
26:59
because now they're trying to take that away.
27:01
Because as we've seen with certain parts of, of front
27:04
offices and, and let's call it the way it is, with the way
27:07
colleges now, it's ran like prostyle kind of football teams
27:11
where they're looking at the analytics of it and seeing if
27:13
we're practicing on natural grass, then obviously we may
27:17
limit our injuries and, and we've succumbed to only playing
27:20
on, on turf so many times. So maybe that will help us out.
27:24
And I would love to know, like, obviously we've seen percentages
27:28
of injuries go up and a lot of ACL and Achilles, like you said,
27:32
in it's not just the ones we hear about.
27:35
How many are the ones we don't like that don't get the
27:37
recognition of the Patrick Mahomes and the Parsons where,
27:40
you know, it's just a he's in the NFL, but not a name to talk
27:44
about it. I would love to see the numbers
27:46
compared in the last when when turf became prevalent in in the
27:49
stadiums and when it wasn't how much And if they obviously that
27:56
plays a factor as much as players that are actually
27:58
putting cleats to the dirt or cleats to the turf, how much
28:02
that really, truly, genuinely effects.
28:03
It how about Daniel Jones, Daniel Jones and by the way,
28:06
great, great take on that job because there's I'm sure there
28:10
is an an analytic number of players that have been hurt that
28:14
nobody mentions because they're not superstars, they're not
28:17
Patrick Mahomes, they're not even Daniel Jones.
28:19
Daniel Jones went down. He's right now at the what is he
28:23
30, almost 30 years old, 29 this year, 29, he's going to be 30
28:26
years old next year. Daniel Jones tearing his
28:29
Achilles. He was looking for a big time
28:31
contract. He was looking possibly to make
28:33
50 to 55,000,000. You think the cults are going to
28:37
give him an extension after going down with Achilles?
28:39
Absolutely not. You're going to look that maybe
28:42
the Colts going in the second round because they don't have a
28:45
first round pick because of The Jets because they made that move
28:47
for Sauce Garner. Maybe the Colts make that move
28:50
in the second round of bringing it back.
28:52
If he if he's if he goes into the draft this year.
28:55
So a quarterback that is at that cusp of where where they thought
29:00
he was going to be in the first round before the season before
29:03
it started to tail off in the second-half of the season.
29:06
And Beck could be win a national championship this year when
29:09
Miami, who knows what's going to happen.
29:10
So Beck could go all the way from a guy that a lot of people
29:15
were questioning what he was going to do with Miami this
29:17
year. And he's been up and down all
29:18
season long to make that tournament and then go all the
29:21
way to win a national championship and be a big either
29:24
a late first round pick or an early second round pick.
29:26
Because a lot of of the experts think that Beck could be a late
29:30
first round pick. Now that seller has decided to
29:33
go back into the portal and and maybe play another season.
29:37
Well, we'll play another senior season as a college football
29:41
player. So I, I question a lot, a lot of
29:44
things. By the way, I will say this.
29:46
The Chargers are real. I don't care how many injuries
29:50
they've had this year. Jim Harbaugh finds a way to win.
29:55
He does it last year in his first season back in the NFL,
29:58
won 11 games, 11 games this year, how many wins does he have
30:02
now? He's got 10, right?
30:04
He has a chance to win 1213 games.
30:07
This guy finds a way to win. And I I say whatever you want.
30:11
You don't like Jim Harbaugh. You don't like his personality.
30:14
You don't like the slacks that he wears or the ugly shirts that
30:17
he wears on the sidelines, his ugly, thick glasses that he
30:20
wears that look like they're magnifying glasses.
30:22
I don't know what you don't like about Jim Harbaugh, but the guy
30:25
knows how to win with all the injuries he's had on that
30:28
offensive line. They lost Slater, they lost Alt,
30:31
they lost Johnson, they lost this, they lost that.
30:33
Makai Becton's been up and down. They can't, they can't stay
30:36
healthy on that offensive line. Oh, by the way, their star
30:39
quarterback back is playing with a broken wrist, right?
30:42
I think it's a broken wrist. Oh, and by the way, they're
30:44
still winning 16 to 1313 to 10. They're still finding a way to
30:48
win that is coaching. Ladies and gentlemen, say
30:51
whatever you want. This man knows how to win.
30:55
And I, I'm not, I'm never going to take shots at Jim Harbaugh
30:58
and what he does on the football field and actually understands
31:02
the concept of winning an NFL football game.
31:04
Speed or no speed transition to no transition from college
31:08
football to the NFL. This man is a born winner,
31:12
Speedy. Yeah, and you look at that's why
31:14
I don't like you can't give the injury bug excuse for the Chiefs
31:17
because the charters have even more and just as many key
31:20
players hurt as the Chiefs had. The Chiefs offense was dealing
31:22
with all of the injuries to the wide receivers.
31:24
We've talked about Josh Simmons going down with injury,
31:27
basically their entire offensive line for a while, but I think
31:31
meaning that the Chargers are still able to grid it out.
31:34
They have a good defense. They have a better defense right
31:35
now than the Chiefs do, but still they are able to grid it
31:37
out with a lot of those same kind of problem without the
31:40
offensive skilled talent coming back is a reason why the Chiefs
31:44
can't. Chiefs fans can't just whine
31:46
about injuries all the time and make it.
31:47
The bigger issue that they had is they haven't drafted well on
31:50
offense in recent years. Outside of Rashi Rice, they
31:53
haven't drafted well. Worthy has been up and down so
31:55
far. Running back they have not found
31:56
for a while. Offensive line, Simmons has to
31:59
stay healthy. And since their interior draft,
32:01
Accrete Humphrey and Trey Smith in the same draft, they haven't
32:03
drafted well in the offensive line.
32:05
And it's going to be hard to be able to keep up that way when
32:08
you do it. We were talking about the same
32:09
kind of thing with the Bengals in their defense.
32:10
The Bengals, once they had to go to a more homegrown defense, are
32:13
now the worst defense in the NFL and Joe Burrows now in offseason
32:17
trade rumors for the same kind of reason.
32:19
Now, Mahomes is not going to be in trade rumors because he's
32:21
hurt, but and he's obviously successful, but how is he going
32:25
to come back? And is he going to like you were
32:27
saying, Errol extend plays out of the pocket the way that he
32:30
had to do much of the year and really save himself.
32:33
It's weird because they played a lot better with the injuries to
32:36
that team and then all of a sudden they either got too
32:38
content or they just got sloppy and they're beating themselves,
32:41
really. And maybe the referees are not
32:43
on their side this year. Maybe it's not about the
32:46
Swifties anymore. Maybe because the fact that
32:48
Travis Kelsey is now engaged to Taylor Swift, nobody cares
32:51
anymore. They know what the Quinky Dink
32:54
is. They know what the concept of
32:56
marriage is going to be. He's marrying a billionaire.
32:58
Is Travis Kelsey coming back? Who the hell cares if Travis
33:02
Kelsey is coming back? The fact here is everybody
33:07
expected this Kansas City Chiefs team to somehow sneak into the
33:10
playoffs, somehow make that run again, and they're not Andy Reid
33:14
could be retiring at the end of the season.
33:16
He might want to part ways. Maybe Spags takes over for him.
33:19
Maybe Spags takes over for the New York Giants if he interviews
33:22
for the job. I don't think that coaching
33:24
staff is going to be the same. I'm going to tell you this right
33:25
now. There is no way Matt Nagy is
33:28
going to be back. There is no way Matt Nagy is
33:31
going to be back next year after what we watched this past year.
33:34
The offense is a shell of what it's been over the last couple
33:37
of years and you can see the difference and, and, and the way
33:40
this offense is really the concept of this offense has
33:43
fallen apart. They have no running game.
33:45
I you could see it. You're you're depending on guys
33:48
you're bringing Kareem Hunt. You have all these guys and they
33:51
don't have a a real dominant force when it comes to the
33:55
running game. And, and honestly, before Rice
33:57
came back, they didn't have a number one.
33:59
They're they're going to bet on Worthy.
34:01
They're going to bet on Hollywood Brown.
34:03
Both guys. I mean, Hollywood Brown will not
34:05
be back next year. Do they go after a Tyree kill?
34:07
They're going to need a playmaker.
34:09
They don't have as many playmakers like they've had over
34:12
the years. They're they're betting on
34:14
Patrick Mahomes, his skill and only his skill.
34:17
That's the difference this year. Yeah, and that's what I was
34:19
mentioning. They've been drafting a lot of
34:20
the wrong things like Travis Kelce is retiring.
34:23
They're drafting a bunch of these other tight ends.
34:24
All right, well, then use them more.
34:25
Noah Gray's a solid option. He played well last year and
34:28
then they drafted Jared Wiley, good kid out of TCU.
34:31
Like use them if the receivers are not playing well.
34:33
Use them if the offensive line isn't playing well to help
34:35
Patrick, help protect Patrick Mahomes.
34:37
Fish you talked about all the time.
34:38
Joan Taylor might be the worst right tackle in football.
34:40
And then you have Josh Simmons was just banged up on the other
34:42
side and you just can't trust it.
34:44
But dear interior, to do everything.
34:46
And that's where you have to be smarter drafting wise too.
34:48
And if you're Andy Reed as well, adjusting to those kinds of
34:50
things offensively, because there were stretches that were
34:53
their their defense was playing well for much of the year.
34:55
And then all of a sudden they've just folded because they're
34:57
they're getting worn out. Chris Jones doesn't all look
34:59
right. I agree with you on that.
35:00
He might have the worst year of his career at this rate and just
35:04
all these injuries that just can't catch up after a while.
35:06
It's something that you just see happen to great teams.
35:10
Guys age out, they just go go from being elite players to just
35:14
good players and that has a huge impact on a team.
35:18
Look, Spagnola is one of the best defensive coordinators
35:21
we've ever seen. As the most championships any
35:23
defensive coordinators ever had as an NFL coach, he's going to
35:27
be in the Hall of Fame as a defensive coordinator when he
35:29
hangs it up. He's 65 years old, at least 66
35:32
next season. Does he come back to the Chiefs
35:36
at 66? This is going to be his last
35:38
real shot. Errol to be a head coach, right?
35:42
You figure from 66 to 70 years old, that's a five year run he
35:46
can have. It's got, you got to think he
35:49
wants to do that and then he leaves.
35:53
Andy Reid's not a defensive coach.
35:55
They've got a hit on that defensive coordinator and you
35:58
would assume Spag's taking his Lieutenant with him.
36:01
He's not going to just let Andy Reid keep him and I would worry
36:05
about what's this team's going to look like if I'm Travis
36:08
Kelsey and thinking about coming back and I have my billion
36:12
dollar wife. He's got his own.
36:14
I'm sure it's busy. He's got his own clothing line.
36:16
He's got everything going for. Himself, right?
36:18
He's making. But you know, like, so if he's
36:20
not coming back, if he hangs it up, if Spags leaves, Andy Reid's
36:25
getting up there too. How long does Andy Reid want to
36:28
keep doing it? We could be talking about, you
36:31
know, Mahomes. And who's to say that the rehab
36:34
goes well? You know, we assume it does.
36:36
But, you know, one out of every five times you get an Odell
36:39
Beckham knee recovery, you know, where the guy never recovers.
36:42
He's never the same athlete he was before.
36:46
And that happens often, you know, and at the positions that
36:49
we're talking about. We'll talk about Michael Parsons
36:51
later in the show, but that's not a great spot.
36:55
You would think a quarterback and recover from it, but the
36:57
mobility and toughness that Mahomes runs with is so sneaky.
37:01
It always creeps up on guys and if he can't do some of that
37:05
dancing, I don't know if he's the same caliber of player.
37:08
We may have seen his best days already.
37:10
I don't know. He's still, he's still young and
37:13
I, I still think he can recreate himself.
37:15
He's got one of the best arms in the NFL.
37:17
The guy has the ability to do a lot of different things that
37:20
other quarterbacks can't do. I've seen him throw the ball
37:23
behind his back. I've thrown him, I've seen him
37:25
thrown, throw a ball with his left hand in the Super Bowl to
37:28
make a play in the open field. I mean, the guy has done amazing
37:32
things. And I don't know if we've seen
37:33
the the best of Patrick Mahomes because we've seen Tom Brady
37:36
come back for the torn ACL and he was even better than he was.
37:39
So I don't know what Patrick Mahomes is going.
37:41
To be I mean, that's true, you know, but you know, Brady was
37:43
like the great pocket passer, right?
37:46
You know, it's Mahomes isn't exactly a pocket passer.
37:48
He's not exactly a mobile scrambling quarterback.
37:50
He's not Lamar Jackson out there doing that type of stuff.
37:54
But it's it's like you don't ever know how the guys come
37:57
back. Are they the same player after
38:00
that knee injury? You know, you really hope he is
38:02
because he's such a cream talent.
38:04
He's so much fun to watch. Obviously, the NFL wants him to
38:07
be there because it make he makes them a lot of money, you
38:10
know, keeps them winning. So it keeps them relevant and it
38:12
keeps them making that that money.
38:14
So now what? Where does the NFL go to if the
38:17
Chiefs are no longer there? Like who's going to be
38:20
interesting? They better hope, and maybe they
38:22
make it so with the referees that no longer have to work for
38:24
the Chiefs, you know, and make sure that someone marketable
38:28
wins this Super Bowl. Because if it's someone that
38:30
isn't marketable, that they're in a little bit of trouble, you
38:33
know, they got to get lucky in this one.
38:35
Or maybe not lucky. I don't know about luck.
38:37
Luck is I know I don't believe in luck.
38:40
I believe in just pure talent. And Jabba, you know this,
38:43
you're, you're an ex athlete. You know what it takes to be on
38:46
top of the world. You know what it takes to be the
38:48
best. You got to put you got to put
38:49
the time in. You got to put the work in.
38:51
And again, Patrick Mahomes has done it year in and year out.
38:55
So I I absolutely believe if anybody can come back from an
38:58
injury like this and be as dominant as he as he's been over
39:02
the last couple years versus Patrick Mahomes, But they
39:04
absolutely have to make a move in the offseason.
39:07
They have to make another move to bring in another playmaker
39:10
because they cannot win with the players in the team they have
39:13
right now. There's just no way.
39:14
