• 0:04
  Speaker 1: Ten Takes is a production of the NFL in partnership
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: with iHeartRadio. Welcome to ten Takes. I'm spent. I'm spent emotionally, physically.
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: The best weekend of football all year. It just fried me.
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: And yet I'm getting that second wind and where I'm
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: just ready to talk about it. I better be already
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: did it for three hours on TV today. Now I
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: get to talk to you guys. Let's just get into it.
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: Best weekend of the year. Ten takes and ten minutes.
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: Start the clock. Take number one, Bill Chiefs this year
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: was better than the Bill Chiefs thirteen second game. It
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: was better than the overtime game. I'd loved this game
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: from start to finish. I think it was cleaner, I
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: think it was better football. There were no interceptions thrown,
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: there were no sacks. There was only seven penalties combined,
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: which you'll take. Can we all just thank the lords
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: right now that we're not sitting here this morning talking
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: about some wow theficiating controversy that happened in any of
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: these games. It's great. I thought this one was better, though,
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: a lot of the stuff that happened in the thirteen
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: second game and the meltdown by the Bills. Was bad football,
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: was really bad defensive football for them, and then there's
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: all this controversy about the coin toss and whatnot. This
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: is just a really good football game between two really
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: good teams, and the better team won. I'd loved this
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: game from start to finish. I'd love the weird twists
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: and turns. I mean, you could go through and talk
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: about it for twenty minutes and not even mention DeMar
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: Hamlin was running a fake punt what or that the
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: Chiefs bubbled out the back of the end zone and
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: ended up not burning them. And then DeMar Facott punt
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: didn't burn the Bills either, the field goal, the tragedy, everything.
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: I loved this game so much. It was two great teams,
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: great great NFL product, just awesome. Was that a great game.
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: I would rewatch that game like i'd rewatch a movie,
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: just to put it on. Six weeks from now, six
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: months from now, six years from now. I would watch
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: Bills Chiefs in January twenty twenty four, just enjoy it.
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: Take number two Mahomes is inevitable. It's an amazing thing
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: because you get tongue tied when you're trying to say
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: all right, Shoot, I gotta praise Mahomes again. I've kind
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: of done that for years. What can I do now?
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: I just think it is so unbelievable that he only
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: plays title game seasons at worst. That's it. That's the
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: streak that I want to remember Mahomes by years and
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: years from now, when I'm a grandfather or he's retired,
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: that he didn't. He doesn't do lose in the divisional rounds.
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: It just doesn't. It's not what he does, never mind
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: the wild card round. He doesn't even ever bow out
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: in the divisional It's almost as if it's his contract
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: or his agreement written in blood with the football gods.
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: Just know, I never ever lose earlier than the title
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: game round. I don't always win the title game, but
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: I always get to it. I usually host it, I
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: always play in it. It is like a concert performer
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: or a headliner who only does stadiums, not arenas, not amphitheaters.
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: I'm so big and so good, and it's just such
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: a badass. I only play the largest possible venue in
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: every city that I go to. Mahomes' only title games.
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: We've talked dad nauseum this week about oh I never
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: played a road game, no, not a true road game
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: in the playoffs. He's never lost in the divisional round,
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: and he was probably mad this year because he actually
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: had to play in the wild card round when one again,
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: it's just an amazing testament to him and how good
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: he is. Take number three, Kelsey showed up big time man.
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: Travis Kelsey hadn't scored a touchdown, which felt like months,
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: and you know why because it was months. And sure enough,
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: big game, bright lights, cold atmosphere, unfriendly crowd, Bam, right
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: out of the gates, long touchdown, Bam, another one of
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: these old Andy Reid bag of tricks, touchdown on something
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: called flash screen. The second touchdown Travis Kelsey run. They
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: hadn't run that place since Alex Smith was the quarterback
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: that predates Mahomes, which goes back to twenty seventeen somewhere
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: around there, and they did it. You know, I had
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: been on Kelsey. I've been taking pot shots and cracking
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: jokes and the way I do harmlessly is just to
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: bus chops that he really hadn't shown up much this year,
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: and I'm like, is he hurt? Is he old? Is
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: he falling apart? And then you put them against buffal
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: He just kills them. You have to respect it. Just
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: kills them, absolutely kills them. Take number four. The Bills
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: aren't growing, They're not evolving. This is the same deal
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: over and over, division round loss, division round loss. They're
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: Chiefs that they play every year. The Chiefs have been
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: to six title games. The Bills have been to one,
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: and in that title game that got hammered by the Chiefs.
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: This is the cold, hard reality if you're if you're
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: not evolving, you're dying. And I look at the Bills
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: right now, a lot of the ways you look at
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: the Cowboys, it's groundhog team. You show up, is an
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: exciting regular season, you have some really talented players, and
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: it's kind of a similar loss. That's what's so deflating.
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: I think about Bills fan this morning. It's not just
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: so we lost in the playoffs again, it's we lost
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: a home game in the playoffs to the team we
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: can't beat, who's playing on the road. For the first time.
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: We did it in a year when Joe Burrow, who's
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: the other guy who really really matters in the AFC playoffs,
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: is completely out, which leaves a gap which I don't
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: think because insignificant, and our kicker missed again and our
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: star wide receiver dropped of huge pass. They're not growing.
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: And Strager was saying this morning and Good Morning Football
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: that there is an incredible club of quarterbacks who are
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: Hall of famers or just generally really respected franchise quarterbacks
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: over years who never even so much has played in
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: a Super Bowl. I'm not talking about Marino or Kelly
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: who got there and didn't win. Warren Moon, Dan Fouts,
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: Philip Rivers, on and on never played in a super Bowl.
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: Is Dason going to be in that club? God, I
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: hope not. I love watching him play, I love a
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: lot of the things he stands for. But this whole
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: take about the Bills can't get over the hump, guys.
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: They can't get to the hump. Getting over the hump
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: is not winning the divisional round. Getting over the hump
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: is winning a super Bowl. They can't even sniff that thing.
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: It's really frustrating. Take number five. They need their super friends,
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: they have Superman. Where's the super Friends. I'm really frustrated
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: with Stefan Diggs this morning because it's the end of
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: a really, really average, underwhelming season and he had another
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: average underwhelming playoff game. Specifically, on the drive that ended
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: in the missfield goal, Josh Allen threw what looked like
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: a two hundred yard pass and Dick's dropped it, and
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: like he's a big play receiver, right, He's made a
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: lot of big plays. He's made a lot of big
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: plays in playoff games. He just dropped it and it
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: just wasn't there this year. So where are they going?
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: They drafted tight end the first round last year, adult
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: cacad He mattered, He'll get better. He's a good player,
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: I promise him. There are they ever gonna say, screw it,
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: We're going to spend their first round pick on a
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: wide receiver and bringing a new guy in here the kicker.
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: Another thing about the kicker, I know that take is
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: out there that's very convenient, and it's very tired, and
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: it's very cliche about Hey, you can't put this all
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: on the kicker. There are a lot of other plays
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: being made. I know that, and I'm not putting it
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: all on the kicker, but you're damn well better be
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: sure I canna put some on the kicker. This is
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: not seventh grade. You're an adult professional, a multi millionaire,
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: who's getting paid a huge paycheck to make kicks to
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: forty four yard are in your home state, even know
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: like the back of your hand, and there was a
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: no doubt miss from the second to hit your laces.
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: I don't want Tyler Bass to be flombayed, but he
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: should take some dude, what the hell happened? It was
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: a terrible kick, really frustrating. You got to play better
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: than that. Take number six. Lamar Jackson needed that, He
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: needed that hit the spot, didn't it. Everything about Lamar
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: is always so contentious in the debate online and his
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: apologists and his defenders and his accusers. You can't do this,
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: can't do that. In the first half, he looked really
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: shaky in a sense. They just didn't score much. And
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: there's a long history that we've been talking about for
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: weeks now of the Ravens under Lamar showing up in
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: playoff games and not only just being flat, but being
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: really terrible and inefficient in the first quarter. Early. It
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: wasn't great in the first half. In that second half,
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: he just leaned back and unleash hell on Houston on
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: every one of his critics. One hundred yards rushing four
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: total touchdowns, just looked really, really good. You don't want
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: Lamar to go down that path where if you were
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: to lose that game or to underwhelm in that game,
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: you start getting this reputation of a really talented player
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: who's great in the regular season and shows up never
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: really amounts to much like the NBA equivalent being Carmelo
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: Anthony Chris Paul for a lot of his career. These
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: guys who did sometimes they'd be first team All NBA
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: and they'd be one and done in the playoffs. Like,
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: you don't want Lamar to do that, and he's not.
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: And now he's at home in the title game. He
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: needed that and he got it. Take number seven. I
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: think the Lions are gonna win the NFC title game.
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: I have a prediction right now Monday morning. I think
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: they're gonna win that game. I really like the Lions team.
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: I really like Golf. The storyline is going to be big.
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: He's the first pick in the draft rock Porty. He
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: was the last pick in the draft. Golf is going
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: back to where he played college ball and became the
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: number one pick in the draft at Cal. He's going
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: to a stadium in San Francisco. He's incredibly familiar and
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: comfortable with He played there a lot as a Rams quarterback.
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: I just think there's a lot of things that you
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: tout for the Niners, and I think the Lions have
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: an equal answer for them. I really do. McCaffrey's amazing,
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: Gibbs is amazing, Kittle, Laporta, Shanahan, Ben Johnson. I like
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: the Lions in this game because take number eight. The
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: forty nine ers really really need Deebo Samuel. It's a
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: huge deal. If you watch the game, he spent most
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: of it in a sweatshirt on the sideline cheering on
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: his team, wanted to go back in with a shoulder
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: injury and couldn't. Brock Berdy was not great. The Niners
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: kind of survived, whereas the Ravens dominated the other one seed.
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: If they don't have Deebo, they're a totally different team,
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: and I think they will lose to the Lions. I've
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: been wrong predicting against the Niners before. I like what
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: the Lions have going. I like what Campbell is going.
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: But never mind the mojo and the revenge and the
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: chip on the shoulder, the dumb SoundBite. I just really
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: like their players. I really like their talent. I don't
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: know right now if there's a non quarterback player left
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: in the playoffs that has impressed me more in the
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: last couple of weeks than Jamier Gibbs. He flies off
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: the screen man when you're watching him. Damn. He looks
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: like he's fast forward. He looks like he's more talent
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: than anybody out there. I like the Lions next week
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: take number nine. Jack Black is exactly the guy you
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: want him to be. I'm talking about the actor, the
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: rock star of the comedian, Jack Black. School of Rock.
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: I did a promo that I got to do for
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: his Kung Fu Panda movie that's coming out, and I
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: got to meet Jack Black. All I can tell you
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: is he shows up exactly like you want him to. Like,
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: Jack Black, What up? What's up? Kyle? How you doing? Man?
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: Rock and roll? Funny kind of cracking the everybody up
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: in the camera? People up. He's awesome. On set, he
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: was totally loose. They say, don't meet your heroes. That's nonsense.
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: I met Jack Black, one of my favorite celebrities in
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: the world, and he could not have been a cooler,
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: nicer guy. Take that home. I'm not gonna come back
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: and tell you, yeah, Jack Black was that kind of
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: a jerk. He was awesome. Take number ten, Back to
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: the Future. It is really hard to watch with your kids,
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: trying to do what will most of us do and
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: educate our kids and movie each from the nineties and eighties.
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: I had my ten year old watch Back to the Future.
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: He loved the Dolorean, he loved Marty. It's really hard
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: to explain to your ten year old the storyline whereby
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: Marty decides he's going to force himself on his mother
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: to try to get George to save him. Marty, what
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: kind of plan was that? So I'll be sitting in
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: the car with my mom and I'm gonna start putting
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: my hands on her against her will, and then you
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: come save us to what. I know, It's been said before,
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: and I've thought about it before, and I've laughed at it.
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: But when the movie's winding down and you're in that
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: last twenty minutes and your ten year old is really
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: riveted and trying to understand most of the time travel stuff,
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: and he goes, what is Marty doing and what is
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: he telling George? Never mind, let's just fast forward to
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: get to it. I don't even want to explain it
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: to you. It's just a ridiculous plan. I went over.
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: I'm not supposed to do that. I'm breaking my own rules.
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: That's ten minutes. That's ten takes with a little bonus
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: Marty McFly incredulous parenting take. I love you guys. Thank
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: you guys. The next time I speak to you, guys,
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: we're gonna know our Super Bowl matchup. I'll tell you
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: right now. I think it is going to be Lions Chiefs.
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: I do, which means I think both road teams are
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: going to win. I might be wrong. It might be
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: Niners Ravens and we'll celebrate the one seeds and that'll
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: be really cool and really fun and exciting. It doesn't
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: happen to all that often. I think it's gonna be
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: Lions Chiefs in Las Vegas. That's a bonus take. That
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: was like a twelve or thirteen take. I gotta stop
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: stop talking, Brant. You said ten takes in ten minutes.
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: I'm out here, see you guys next week. Ten Takes
