Speaker 1: Welcome to Not So Fast with Andrew Perloff and Paul Pabst,
0:05
Speaker 1: where two longtime friends challenge each other on the biggest
0:08
Speaker 1: sports stories of the day. Here's Andrew Perloff and Paul Pabst.
0:13
Speaker 1: Not so fast, my friends.
0:18
Speaker 2: Welcome to Not So Fast. I'm Andrew Perloff. He's Paul Papps.
0:21
Speaker 3: We have Monday Night Football. Are you a main telecast
0:24
Speaker 3: or a manning cast guy?
0:25
Speaker 4: I flip-flop. I usually start with the manning cast to
0:27
Speaker 4: see what the boys want to say. It's good to
0:29
Speaker 4: see them back. The manning cast is a lot of fun.
0:31
Speaker 4: You get the insight. When is the Not So Fast cast?
0:34
Speaker 4: Is that in the works?
0:35
Speaker 2: Oh, I think it's going to be Not So Fast
0:37
Speaker 2: until we get a Not So Fast cast.
0:39
Speaker 4: Keep an eye on that.
0:40
Speaker 3: All right, Chiefs win 31-10. Paul, what's your biggest reaction
0:43
Speaker 3: to the game?
0:44
Speaker 4: Well, I think everyone sat down and expected some sort
0:46
Speaker 4: of a shootout, but maybe Patrick Mahomes' slow start. I
0:48
Speaker 4: think he was 2-10 to start the game. But when
0:51
Speaker 4: he had that run where he ran for the 15-yard touchdown,
0:53
Speaker 4: I'm not even a Chiefs fan, but I look and
0:55
Speaker 4: I'm like, oh, don't run.
0:57
Speaker 2: Don't run.
0:57
Speaker 4: And then he got to about the 5-yard line, and
0:59
Speaker 4: I'm like, is he going to slide or go shoulders in?
1:02
Speaker 4: He went shoulders in, and I think even the DBs
1:04
Speaker 4: were surprised that he didn't put on the brakes. But
1:07
Speaker 4: Chiefs fans were like holding their breath and then exhaling.
1:10
Speaker 2: Oh, I saw that touchdown. I was like, Chiefs are back. Yes.
1:13
Speaker 3: Actually, all night long I said Chiefs are back. The
1:15
Speaker 3: entire preseason narrative about this team.
1:18
Speaker 2: Just out the window.
1:19
Speaker 4: Yeah.
1:20
Speaker 2: I thought they were going to be in trouble, Paul.
1:21
Speaker 2: They're not in trouble at all. They look like the
1:23
Speaker 2: team that it's been to how many Super Bowls?
1:25
Speaker 4: And we get to Ken Walker, but the guys like
1:27
Speaker 4: Chris Jones and George Karloftis and Bolton. And all those
1:29
Speaker 4: guys on defense stepped up. Rasheed Rice back. Things have
1:33
Speaker 4: calmed down from the offseason. He's playing good football. Travis Kelsey,
1:36
Speaker 4: nice night. All the usual suspects were in place.
1:39
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, you mentioned the running game. Obviously, Ken
1:41
Speaker 3: Walker gets the headlines. But give Andy Reid, the coach, credit.
1:44
Speaker 3: Because they went under center, which they never do.
1:46
Speaker 2: Right.
1:47
Speaker 3: And they had backup offensive linemen. Somehow those backup offensive
1:51
Speaker 3: linemen had no problem with the Broncos' pass rush, which
1:54
Speaker 3: had the most sacks in the entire NFL last year,
1:57
Speaker 3: pushed them around.
1:58
Speaker 2: It really was, to me... I'm not surprised they won,
2:01
Speaker 2: but how they did it was a revelation.
2:03
Speaker 4: And if you look at Kenneth Walker, he goes from
2:05
Speaker 4: Super Bowl MVP to a better situation. You're playing with Mahomes.
2:09
Speaker 4: You're going to get the ball, and you're going to
2:10
Speaker 4: have a lot of freedom to get the ball. Pass game,
2:12
Speaker 4: the shovel pass here. But if you look at the offseason,
2:15
Speaker 4: what the Chiefs did, they've never had a true alpha
2:18
Speaker 4: dog running back. Early Kareem Hunt was pretty good, but 173,
2:22
Speaker 4: two touchdowns, a catch, which was like a shovel pass.
2:25
Speaker 4: But they have this alpha dog who's in the prime
2:27
Speaker 4: of his career to– I wouldn't use the word protect
2:30
Speaker 4: Patrick Mahomes, but accentuate Mahomes.
2:32
Speaker 2: How dare you? What about our favorite? Some of our
2:35
Speaker 2: favorite running backs of all time are Kansas City guys.
2:37
Speaker 4: Are we doing know your Chiefs running backs like Barry Word?
2:40
Speaker 4: One of your favorites.
2:41
Speaker 2: Christian McCoy.
2:42
Speaker 4: Christian McCoy. Jamal Charles.
2:43
Speaker 2: Priest Holmes.
2:44
Speaker 4: Priest Holmes. Larry Johnson had a couple good years.
2:46
Speaker 3: So is this sort of a callback now? Is that
2:49
Speaker 3: the kind of Chiefs we're going to have now? Or
2:51
Speaker 3: Ken Walker is one of the primary guys and Mahomes
2:53
Speaker 3: is not secondary.
2:55
Speaker 2: But is this offense going to be a run first offense?
2:57
Speaker 4: By the way, there's nothing more not so fast than
2:59
Speaker 4: just randomly throwing an old Chiefs running back.
3:01
Speaker 2: Yeah.
3:02
Speaker 4: I don't think it's going to be primarily a running offense,
3:04
Speaker 4: but they have that option because, again, Kenneth Walker is
3:07
Speaker 4: paid three years entering his prime as a running back.
3:10
Speaker 3: You gave me an assignment this morning, Paul. Come up
3:13
Speaker 3: with the perfect comp for Kenneth Walker, the running back.
3:15
Speaker 4: Okay, now the easy comp is?
3:17
Speaker 2: I have no idea.
3:19
Speaker 4: Le'Veon Bell is the easy comp, kind of a jump cut,
3:22
Speaker 4: patient running back.
3:23
Speaker 2: He's twice as fast as Le'Veon Bell. I agree. Okay,
3:26
Speaker 2: he's too fast for Le'Veon Bell.
3:27
Speaker 4: My old school comp for Kenneth Walker, Garrison Hurst.
3:31
Speaker 2: Jacked.
3:32
Speaker 4: But with some sizzle.
3:33
Speaker 2: Garrison Hurst out of Georgia, San Francisco 49ers?
3:35
Speaker 4: Yes. I'm going old school. Garrison Hurst was a fantastic
3:38
Speaker 4: running back. Check you too. It reminds me of the
3:40
Speaker 4: jump cut, but enough power. He's like a true combo
3:43
Speaker 4: back who has the moves. I won't say Saquon Barkley,
3:47
Speaker 4: but it's almost like, I don't want to say a
3:48
Speaker 4: poor man Saquon Barkley, but the jump cut reminds.
3:50
Speaker 1: Me of that.
3:51
Speaker 3: So if he's this running back, who is Mahomes? Because
3:55
Speaker 3: the receivers did not get a lot of action last night.
3:57
Speaker 3: I know Rasheed Rice had one beautiful play. But you
4:00
Speaker 3: didn't hear Worthy's name and Rice's name a lot. There
4:02
Speaker 3: was some Kelsey. Is it going to ever be the
4:04
Speaker 3: high-octane Chiefs again?
4:05
Speaker 4: And you pointed out before the show, I think we
4:07
Speaker 4: were talking, he didn't have a pass completed over 10 yards. Now,
4:10
Speaker 4: when you win, no one talks about that kind of stuff.
4:12
Speaker 3: Yeah, the defense, again, was really awesome. It made Bo
4:17
Speaker 3: Nix look like he was at Auburn playing Georgia. Yeah,
4:21
Speaker 3: I kind of want a mulligan ball on my Super
4:23
Speaker 3: Bowl pick.
4:23
Speaker 4: All right, let's get to the Broncos' side of this.
4:25
Speaker 4: Let's get to the bad side of this. Ten points
4:27
Speaker 4: for the Broncos, a lot of expectations. They finished off
4:30
Speaker 4: the year great last year, and everyone's like, if they
4:32
Speaker 4: had Bo Nix, they'd be in the Super Bowl. A
4:34
Speaker 4: lot of people picked them for the Super Bowl. I'm
4:36
Speaker 4: going to get to that in a second. But what
4:37
Speaker 4: did you see with the Broncos last night?
4:39
Speaker 3: Oh, the Broncos offensively were a total mess. New offensive
4:44
Speaker 3: coordinator Davis Webb was supposed to get the calls in immediately.
4:47
Speaker 3: It looked like Bo Nix was scrambling to beat the
4:49
Speaker 3: game clock almost every play. And one or two times
4:53
Speaker 3: he did not get it in. receivers dropped passes.
4:56
Speaker 2: The run game was non-existent. I think they only had
4:58
Speaker 2: six carries at halftime, Paul.
5:00
Speaker 3: Everyone knew you have to run against the Chiefs defense,
5:02
Speaker 3: and they just refused.
5:04
Speaker 2: It's a mess.
5:05
Speaker 4: No run blocking, no pass blocking. Bo Nix didn't do
5:08
Speaker 4: enough on his own. If you look at that, Jalen
5:10
Speaker 4: Waddell got three targets. You'd think he'd be a feature guy.
5:13
Speaker 2: Yeah, major drop by Waddell, too. It is an important drop.
5:16
Speaker 2: That's the biggest disappointment of the night.
5:18
Speaker 4: And if you're watching that game, Monday Night Football, they
5:20
Speaker 4: announced Davis Webb, the former quarterback who played with Eli,
5:23
Speaker 4: is the new offensive coordinator. That was spotlit in that game,
5:27
Speaker 4: and all the blame seemed to shift his way.
5:29
Speaker 2: Okay, Sean Payton's one of the greatest play callers of
5:31
Speaker 2: all time. Right. Of all time.
5:33
Speaker 3: How many weeks is he going to sit there and
5:35
Speaker 3: watch this offense plot along like it did?
5:38
Speaker 2: I'll be honest, Paul, I would take over week two.
5:40
Speaker 4: Just pull the Band-Aid.
5:43
Speaker 3: What did you see last night that said Davis Webb
5:45
Speaker 3: should be the offensive coordinator of this team?
5:47
Speaker 4: I see what you're saying. You do cut the legs
5:49
Speaker 4: out under your offensive coordinator if after one week you
5:52
Speaker 4: announce he's no longer calling plays.
5:54
Speaker 3: Just to be nice, you're letting him do his job.
5:57
Speaker 3: I say you get right in there because the season's
5:59
Speaker 3: going to get.
5:59
Speaker 2: Away from you if you're Denver. Jacksonville this week. But
6:01
Speaker 2: they played great. You can't lose this game.
6:04
Speaker 4: I will say, though, Denver under Sean Payton has never
6:06
Speaker 4: started well in September. Last year, they were 1-2. So
6:09
Speaker 4: maybe there will be more patience. But if you look
6:11
Speaker 4: at the schedule coming up, Jags– Rams.
6:16
Speaker 2: At the Niners.
6:16
Speaker 4: Niners. And the Chargers are probably better at that point
6:19
Speaker 4: than the Seahawks. You could look at that schedule and think,
6:22
Speaker 4: we could be 1-4.
6:23
Speaker 3: That is not a schedule to learn how to be
6:25
Speaker 3: an offensive coordinator. Honestly, Peyton should take it away from
6:29
Speaker 3: from Webb immediately. As you said, rip the Band-Aid off.
6:32
Speaker 3: And then if he wants to give it back to
6:33
Speaker 3: him for, I don't know, where's the break?
6:36
Speaker 2: Cardinals. The Cardinals were good last week. So who knows?
6:40
Speaker 2: But I am actually really worried. I did pick the
6:42
Speaker 2: Broncos and now I regret it.
6:43
Speaker 4: Okay. So if you're watching the Dan Patrick show earlier today,
6:45
Speaker 4: Dan did mention that his Super Bowl pick was the Broncos.
6:48
Speaker 4: Yours was the Broncos.
6:49
Speaker 2: Coincidence. Right.
6:50
Speaker 4: We gave Dan a do-over. He said, no, I'm sticking.
6:52
Speaker 4: I'm not going to bail week one. Will you bail
6:54
Speaker 4: week one on your Broncos?
6:55
Speaker 2: I will not just bail.
6:57
Speaker 3: I will 100% bail, and I have no problem doing this.
6:59
Speaker 2: And I'll tell you where I want to bail if
7:01
Speaker 2: I'm allowed.
7:01
Speaker 4: But if you bail, you can't unbail. I'm checking with
7:04
Speaker 4: the control room. No unbailing on that.
7:05
Speaker 2: That's absolutely fine.
7:06
Speaker 3: Because Bo Nix reverted to bad Auburn Bo Nix.
7:10
Speaker 2: I want nothing to do with this right now. Not
7:12
Speaker 2: Oregon Bo Nix. Not Oregon Bo Nix. I think the
7:14
Speaker 2: defense will get much better. I think they start off
7:16
Speaker 2: a little.
7:16
Speaker 4: Wait, are you bailing or unbailing?
7:18
Speaker 2: I'm bailing. I'm full bailing. Full bail.
7:21
Speaker 4: Okay, before today's show is done, you have to pick
7:23
Speaker 4: your replacement AFC team.
7:25
Speaker 2: Okay, I think.
7:26
Speaker 4: Do you want to save it for the final segment?
7:27
Speaker 2: I'll save it. But am I allowed to do this?
7:30
Speaker 2: I think the audience is not going to accept it.
7:31
Speaker 4: New show, new rules, NBC's in my ear saying you
7:34
Speaker 4: are allowed to do this.
7:35
Speaker 2: Who at NBC? I don't know. Was it Tirico? Was
7:37
Speaker 2: it Collinsworth?
7:38
Speaker 4: They watch. All right, let's get to it. Week one
7:41
Speaker 4: in the NFL is over, and there are some quarterback
7:44
Speaker 4: situations already. Not benched for play, but benched for other reasons.
7:47
Speaker 4: Let's start with Drew Locke filling in for Sam Darnold.
7:50
Speaker 4: Sam Darnold has a soft tissue injury, which none of
7:52
Speaker 4: us understand. Is it his hip?
7:55
Speaker 2: Is it his glute?
7:55
Speaker 4: Nobody really knows. But he's out for an unspecified amount
7:59
Speaker 4: of time, and another report said he's out for a
8:01
Speaker 4: few weeks. Perloff, you're the semantics guy.
8:03
Speaker 2: What does a few weeks mean? A few means three.
8:06
Speaker 4: Not two to three? No.
8:08
Speaker 3: A few means three, but are they saying he's coming
8:11
Speaker 3: back if we really need him?
8:13
Speaker 2: I know San Francisco is on the schedule soon. If
8:16
Speaker 2: they have an easy game, then he's out.
8:18
Speaker 4: Let's pin down a few. I think a few could
8:20
Speaker 4: be two to three. A couple obviously only means two.
8:24
Speaker 2: Oh, yeah.
8:24
Speaker 3: A couple is definitely two. But these injuries, especially if
8:26
Speaker 3: you can't specify the injury, if you're not even giving
8:28
Speaker 3: me a body part, Paul, how are we going to
8:30
Speaker 3: define a few?
8:31
Speaker 2: Yeah.
8:31
Speaker 4: Give me a body part and give me a number
8:33
Speaker 4: of weeks. Can we help a brother out? What about
8:35
Speaker 4: can a few be four weeks or is that extended
8:37
Speaker 4: period of time?
8:38
Speaker 3: Oh, well, then people are going to be nervous. More importantly,
8:41
Speaker 3: look at the schedule. Instead of arguing about wording here.
8:44
Speaker 4: Is this schedule-based?
8:45
Speaker 2: I think so.
8:46
Speaker 3: At Arizona, it might be tougher than you think. But
8:48
Speaker 3: at Washington, you don't need him for that game. That
8:50
Speaker 3: Seattle defense can win that game single-handedly. Then the Chargers,
8:54
Speaker 3: it's a San Francisco game because that's a divisional game.
8:57
Speaker 2: It means more in the standings. I think Darnold will
8:58
Speaker 2: definitely be backed by that.
9:00
Speaker 4: So you're looking at the Seahawks right now saying, Drew
9:02
Speaker 4: Locke played pretty well last week. He's got a lot
9:04
Speaker 4: in the tank. He has a whole week to get
9:06
Speaker 4: first-team reps. Let him play out a week or two.
9:08
Speaker 4: Remember back in the day, they used to do this
9:10
Speaker 4: with Steph Curry, and they wouldn't bring him back until
9:12
Speaker 4: they lost a game in a series. This might be
9:14
Speaker 4: one of those type of situations.
9:16
Speaker 3: Oh, I mean, Drew Locke was fine last week, and
9:19
Speaker 3: the commanders did not look good. That's a perfect example
9:21
Speaker 3: where Seattle can play conservative.
9:23
Speaker 4: All right, next quarterback situation. There's Drew Locke just nailing
9:26
Speaker 4: one to Cooper Cup.
9:27
Speaker 2: Drew Locke, you know, I'm a big backup quarterback guy.
9:29
Speaker 5: Nice arm.
9:30
Speaker 3: He's got a better arm than half the starters in
9:32
Speaker 3: the league. He just gets a little flustered.
9:35
Speaker 4: And the defense will keep them in any game. All right,
9:36
Speaker 4: let's get to the next quarterback situation. This one is
9:39
Speaker 4: Carson Wentz in Minnesota. Kyler Murray is in the protocol,
9:42
Speaker 4: as we know. He threw a pick in his first pass.
9:45
Speaker 4: Here's the situation, I think, what's going to happen with
9:47
Speaker 4: Carson Wentz. Carson Wentz, three touchdowns to beat the Packers.
9:51
Speaker 5: Played well.
9:51
Speaker 4: There's Kyler Murray, unfortunately, hurt. But Carson Wentz is a
9:56
Speaker 4: known quantity. He's had some good years in the NFL before,
9:59
Speaker 4: and he's kind of a high.
10:00
Speaker 2: Backup.
10:01
Speaker 4: I wonder if the Vikings look at this situation, and
10:02
Speaker 4: more so, the Viking fans say, this might be preferable.
10:06
Speaker 4: A veteran guy like Carson Wentz who can do the
10:09
Speaker 4: right things and just deliver ball to Justin Jefferson. He's
10:12
Speaker 4: going against a below-average defense in the Bears next week.
10:15
Speaker 4: If Carson Wentz plays well and they somehow steal a
10:17
Speaker 4: win from the Bears... Could he hold that job for
10:20
Speaker 4: a while?
10:20
Speaker 3: Well, I think so, because Kyler Murray is on the
10:22
Speaker 3: league minimum.
10:23
Speaker 2: It's not like they invested anything in him.
10:24
Speaker 4: They don't have anything. Most of the money is going
10:26
Speaker 4: to J.J. McCarthy.
10:27
Speaker 3: Yeah, and they don't really even know what they have
10:29
Speaker 3: with Kyler Murray. I think Wentz could win this job. Now,
10:31
Speaker 3: Wentz struggled a little bit last year. He came in
10:33
Speaker 3: red hot when he got in for the Vikings, then
10:36
Speaker 3: he fell apart. But I think with an offseason and
10:39
Speaker 3: getting healthier, Wentz could be really good here.
10:41
Speaker 2: Obviously really good on Sunday. Wentz is funny. He sometimes
10:45
Speaker 2: has a couple good games, then he gets loose. But
10:47
Speaker 2: I think it's a really well-coached team. I think Justin
10:50
Speaker 2: Jefferson's on a mission. And you said this on Monday.
10:53
Speaker 2: What was the key to Wentz's success?
10:55
Speaker 4: Targeting.
10:56
Speaker 3: Targeting Justin Jefferson every game. I think this could work.
10:59
Speaker 3: I mean, is it a great team with Carson Wentz?
11:01
Speaker 2: Maybe not. But you didn't know what you had with
11:03
Speaker 2: Kyler Murray.
11:03
Speaker 4: You know, it could be one of those situations where
11:05
Speaker 4: if he wins this weekend, and they just let him
11:07
Speaker 4: play out until he loses, and they could use abundance
11:09
Speaker 4: of caution with Kyler Murray.
11:11
Speaker 2: Right, and you know, we were talking about 90s and
11:13
Speaker 2: 2000s NFL history.
11:14
Speaker 3: Same thing happened with Randall Cunningham in 98, Jeff George,
11:18
Speaker 3: my guy Case Keenum, Warren Moon. The Vikings have this
11:21
Speaker 3: knack for bringing up guys out of nowhere who have
11:24
Speaker 3: good seasons.
11:24
Speaker 2: Sam Darnold, no one expected Sam Darnold to do what
11:27
Speaker 2: he did.
11:27
Speaker 4: Alright, before we break, some warm takes coming up, but
11:29
Speaker 4: The other quarterback situation is Atlanta, and it's a situation
11:33
Speaker 4: where there's maybe no right answer. Cooper Rush played last week.
11:36
Speaker 4: Pennix is not 100%. Tua's got a back thing, and
11:40
Speaker 4: they have given no update on this. Is there any
11:43
Speaker 4: upside to this situation?
11:44
Speaker 2: No.
11:44
Speaker 3: In fact, you might be getting into a tank mode
11:46
Speaker 3: if you're Atlanta.
11:47
Speaker 6: Oh.
11:47
Speaker 2: Because that offense did nothing. I mean, B.
11:49
Speaker 3: John Robinson was awesome, but he was the entire offense.
11:52
Speaker 3: So I don't know if they really want good quarterbacking.
11:56
Speaker 4: You might be quarterbacking them in a couple weeks.
11:57
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm not sure Michael Penix has the health to
12:00
Speaker 3: be a long-term starter.
12:01
Speaker 2: Jeez.
12:02
Speaker 3: All right, coming up next, Ohio State obviously fell in
12:05
Speaker 3: the rankings.
12:06
Speaker 2: I have a major, major problem with the way the
12:09
Speaker 2: AP did this. We'll get to that next. Not so fast.
12:15
Speaker 4: Here we go, Pearl. Midday pick-me-up just for you. Actually,
12:18
Speaker 4: just for DP.
12:19
Speaker 2: He's a Reds guy.
12:20
Speaker 4: Ellie De La Cruz. When you were a kid and
12:22
Speaker 4: you went to the local ballpark, someone put one out.
12:24
Speaker 4: They called it Parking One. Ellie De La Cruz parked
12:27
Speaker 4: one out of the ballpark.
12:29
Speaker 3: What's that line in the movie Major League? What park
12:32
Speaker 3: did that leave? Like a national park? That would have
12:34
Speaker 3: gone out of Rushmore. I mean out of Yellowstone.
12:37
Speaker 2: That was crazy.
12:38
Speaker 4: Too far. Too far.
12:39
Speaker 2: Too far.
12:40
Speaker 4: Great hit by L.A.
12:41
Speaker 2: Dealer Cruz.
12:41
Speaker 4: All right, it's time. Monday Night Football, we'll talk more
12:44
Speaker 4: about that in a little bit. It's time for warm takes.
12:46
Speaker 4: Some nice cozy ones to get you ready for the
12:48
Speaker 4: nice Tuesday.
12:49
Speaker 2: I will go first, Pearl.
12:50
Speaker 4: I've been banging the drum on this one for a while.
12:52
Speaker 4: There's time for a new stat in football, both college
12:55
Speaker 4: and pro. RCI, Receiver Caused Interception. Happened maybe to Arch
13:00
Speaker 4: Manning the other day, but happens a couple times a weekend.
13:03
Speaker 4: So let's say a running back is out in the
13:04
Speaker 4: flat or a wide receiver is out in the flat.
13:05
Speaker 4: He gets hit right in the hands, right in the
13:08
Speaker 4: numbers with a ball. It pops out and gets intercepted.
13:11
Speaker 4: That goes on the tally for the quarterback, and it
13:13
Speaker 4: goes at the end of the season. He had this
13:14
Speaker 4: many interceptions. Why not put that blame on the receiver
13:18
Speaker 4: who let it hit right off his hands, a catchable ball,
13:20
Speaker 4: and go out? If it hit him in the hands
13:22
Speaker 4: and it hit the turf, he would get dinged and
13:24
Speaker 4: be caused a drop. A drop is an official NFL stat.
13:27
Speaker 4: This is just like that. R-C-I, receiver-caused interception. Look at
13:31
Speaker 4: other sports. Baseball, it's either a wild pitch or a
13:34
Speaker 4: passed ball, and that's judging, giving a judgment to something
13:37
Speaker 4: and assigning blame. We love to assign blame. If you
13:40
Speaker 4: look at other things in baseball, error or hit, you
13:43
Speaker 4: judge whether it should have been an error or a hit.
13:45
Speaker 4: I think this is a really easy one for the
13:46
Speaker 4: score people to do in the NFL or college football.
13:49
Speaker 4: It hits the receiver in the hands, pops off, gets
13:52
Speaker 4: an interception. It's an R-C-I. I'm going to throw this
13:55
Speaker 4: out to the Manning brothers. Mannings, you're quarterbacks. You love
13:58
Speaker 4: shifting blame to the receivers. R-C-I, this is the year
14:01
Speaker 4: to make it happen. Pearl, your thoughts.
14:03
Speaker 3: Who's going to judge whether it's a little, what if
14:05
Speaker 3: it's a little bit behind him, or what if the
14:07
Speaker 3: pass has too much zip on it? You know, that
14:09
Speaker 3: could be on the quarterback just a little bit.
14:11
Speaker 4: So it's in between. But you know it when you
14:13
Speaker 4: see it. If it hits a guy right in the hands,
14:15
Speaker 4: and he's in the flat, and he goes, whoop, whoop,
14:17
Speaker 4: and gets picked off, that is not on the quarterback.
14:19
Speaker 4: You hear him say that?
14:21
Speaker 2: R-C-I.
14:21
Speaker 3: How about last night Patrick Mahomes threw an interception because
14:24
Speaker 3: Xavier Worthy ran the wrong route or there was a miscommunication?
14:27
Speaker 2: Is that an RCI?
14:29
Speaker 4: I think that's harder for the people to judge us
14:31
Speaker 4: to judge.
14:32
Speaker 2: Wrong route RCI?
14:34
Speaker 4: Wrong route. That's a little wordy. RCI is nice and simple. RCI,
14:38
Speaker 4: let's make it happen.
14:39
Speaker 2: Yeah, these things in the NFL like that are always
14:40
Speaker 2: so simple.
14:41
Speaker 4: We need more stats and more judgment.
14:44
Speaker 2: All right, I'm going to go back to last night.
14:46
Speaker 3: Chiefs coach Andy Reid is now 48 wins away from
14:49
Speaker 3: tying Don Chula for the most wins ever by a coach.
14:52
Speaker 3: And he is getting close, 22 wins behind Bill Belichick. Paul,
14:57
Speaker 3: everyone thinks Belichick is the greatest modern era coach. I
15:00
Speaker 3: got to tell you, that debate is not over.
15:03
Speaker 2: Far, far from it.
15:05
Speaker 3: I think Andy Reid has a chance to go up
15:07
Speaker 3: on the ladder and overtake Belichick as the best coach
15:10
Speaker 3: in modern NFL history. Now, the only reason that people
15:13
Speaker 3: don't consider him like that is the fact that he's
15:16
Speaker 3: this big, jolly guy.
15:17
Speaker 2: You know what?
15:17
Speaker 3: He's a killer, and he will change his style if
15:20
Speaker 3: he needs to to get wins. He used to be
15:21
Speaker 3: high-flying with Mahomes. Now they redefine themselves as an under-center
15:25
Speaker 3: run game. Who saw that coming? I think he is
15:29
Speaker 3: more innovative than most coaches have ever been, and I
15:32
Speaker 3: think we underrate him.
15:33
Speaker 2: He's also great with personalities.
15:34
Speaker 3: He can take a guy like Rasheed Rice, who's had
15:36
Speaker 3: a lot of problems, and make him.
15:38
Speaker 2: A productive NFL player.
15:40
Speaker 3: I think Andy Reid is the full package, and I
15:42
Speaker 3: still think we underrate him.
15:43
Speaker 4: You know, I'm going to co-sign on this warm take
15:45
Speaker 4: by you because I think you have some traction here.
15:47
Speaker 4: I think Andy Reid needs two more Super Bowl wins.
15:50
Speaker 4: Then he's right there in the conversation.
15:52
Speaker 2: Two more Super Bowl wins?
15:53
Speaker 5: That's a lot.
15:54
Speaker 4: Two more for him with Mahomes. It should be almost expected.
15:57
Speaker 4: I will say this. If you look at the Hall
15:59
Speaker 4: of Fame vote last year that they didn't put Belichick in,
16:02
Speaker 4: that shows what a lot of people think of Bill Belichick.
16:04
Speaker 4: And I think if it's a likability contest and it's
16:07
Speaker 4: close to the hole, Andy Reid's going to get a
16:08
Speaker 4: lot of votes in the greatest coach of all time category.
16:11
Speaker 4: He'll be in that echelon. He'll be Shula and he'll be,
16:14
Speaker 4: you know, Belichick, of course, but Andy Reid, you're right,
16:17
Speaker 4: he doesn't get credit because he's that lovable big guy.
16:20
Speaker 4: He's still doing the job.
16:21
Speaker 3: There's a new commercial, I think it's State Farm, where
16:23
Speaker 3: he's sort of being out of breath and he's playing
16:26
Speaker 3: into the character, but the reality is his football coach
16:29
Speaker 3: mentality is nothing like that character.
16:31
Speaker 2: He's a total killer.
16:33
Speaker 3: He's 68 and Belichick's 74. Now, it doesn't look like
16:36
Speaker 3: Belichick's getting back, so I think Reid gets more wins.
16:38
Speaker 4: All right, bonus coverage. Never forget the Halloween where Andrew
16:41
Speaker 4: Perloff went as young Andy Reid in the punt, pass,
16:43
Speaker 4: and kick contest. We'll have that for you later in
16:46
Speaker 4: the show, or maybe tomorrow, one of your all-time Halloween uniforms.
16:49
Speaker 4: All right, my next warm take, here we go. Here
16:53
Speaker 4: we go, Steve Ballmer, LA Clippers owner. This is a
16:56
Speaker 4: nice move by you. You announced that you're sorry and
16:58
Speaker 4: have regrets, and you thank the NBA and your contrite
17:01
Speaker 4: and like to move on. You issued that statement at
17:04
Speaker 4: 11 p.m. on a Sunday night. 11 p.m., Sunday night
17:07
Speaker 4: of the first NFL weekend. That is a great place
17:10
Speaker 4: for stories to hide, and that is totally on purpose
17:12
Speaker 4: by you and your PR department. Here's the statement. I
17:15
Speaker 4: have sincere regrets. I want to apologize to our fans, employees,
17:18
Speaker 4: and my fellow NBA team owners for the distraction and
17:20
Speaker 4: distress that my matter caused. You can say the word cheating.
17:23
Speaker 4: For which I accept responsibility as principal owner. We're committed
17:26
Speaker 4: to putting this chapter behind us. Of course you are.
17:28
Speaker 4: We have communicated to the NBA that we're complying with
17:31
Speaker 4: the penalties assessed. This is not where I want our
17:33
Speaker 4: team to focus. The owners should support, not distract. Well,
17:37
Speaker 4: that's really interesting because a year ago you said you
17:40
Speaker 4: had nothing to do with this and there was no
17:41
Speaker 4: truth to allegations. And a month and a half ago
17:44
Speaker 4: when the NBA report came out and Pablo Torre put
17:46
Speaker 4: the final hammer down on you, you said, no, this
17:49
Speaker 4: is completely wrong and we stand by our complete denial.
17:52
Speaker 4: Why the flip-flop here? You know, my guess is this
17:54
Speaker 4: is PR 101. You're trying to play to the NBA
17:58
Speaker 4: and try to mitigate the punishment for your team. Maybe
18:01
Speaker 4: one less draft pick or one fewer draft pick taken
18:03
Speaker 4: away or maybe my suspension is cut in half. But
18:05
Speaker 4: I'll tell you, it's too little too late. And the
18:07
Speaker 4: only good thing for you, Steve Ballmer, is you don't
18:09
Speaker 4: have to watch Clipper basketball this year because it's going
18:11
Speaker 4: to be brutal.
18:12
Speaker 3: My reaction to the bomber mess is I'm a Sixers fan.
18:16
Speaker 3: Let's take advantage of the Clippers because they're going to
18:18
Speaker 3: be in desperation mode for the next five years and
18:20
Speaker 3: it's their own fault. I don't like anything he's doing,
18:23
Speaker 3: although he did build an arena with the most bathrooms
18:25
Speaker 3: of any indoor arena.
18:26
Speaker 4: Which is very friendly to older people who have to
18:28
Speaker 4: use the bathroom.
18:29
Speaker 2: Yeah, I actually want to check out the urinal situation.
18:32
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'll use the bathroom. I just want to watch
18:33
Speaker 4: the team play.
18:34
Speaker 3: Yeah, no, I agree with you, and it's ridiculous. He
18:37
Speaker 3: was so strong in denying this whole thing, and then
18:40
Speaker 3: he just gave up the fight.
18:41
Speaker 6: Beep, beep, beep.
18:42
Speaker 2: The backpedal.
18:43
Speaker 3: Okay, I'm going to go to college football for my
18:45
Speaker 3: second warm take. Obviously, Ohio State lost to Texas, so
18:49
Speaker 3: you'd expect them to fall in the polls. They fell
18:51
Speaker 3: from number one to number six in the AP poll.
18:54
Speaker 3: But Paul, I'm not sure that should have happened. First
18:56
Speaker 3: of all, they played very well for most of the game.
18:59
Speaker 3: But the teams that advanced past them did nothing. Georgia
19:02
Speaker 3: beat Western Kentucky 70-20. Indiana beat Howard 55-0. Notre Dame
19:08
Speaker 3: beat Rice 52-0. And Miami beat Florida A & M 77-7.
19:11
Speaker 3: To me, those wins are not impressive at all. And,
19:15
Speaker 3: of course, the AP did drop Ohio State. But to
19:17
Speaker 3: drop them to six sets a precedent where now Ohio
19:20
Speaker 3: State is going down. to suffer because they scheduled Texas.
19:25
Speaker 3: So in the future, Ohio State is not going to
19:27
Speaker 3: want to schedule Texas.
19:28
Speaker 2: So what do we have?
19:29
Speaker 3: We have very few good September games because the voters,
19:33
Speaker 3: I know that the AP is different than the CFP,
19:35
Speaker 3: but the voters.
19:36
Speaker 2: Eventually will count that loss against them. And that is
19:39
Speaker 2: my major problem with college football right now, and I
19:41
Speaker 2: think that's why we have such a weak schedule.
19:44
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think Ohio State, awful fourth quarter, but they
19:46
Speaker 4: scheduled big, they put together a good fight, and they
19:49
Speaker 4: almost took down Texas. I mean, it was that close,
19:51
Speaker 4: a play or two away, and they closed that game out,
19:53
Speaker 4: and they're getting dinged. Miami played FAMU and could have
19:56
Speaker 4: scored 100.
19:56
Speaker 2: Oh my gosh, any of these games.
19:58
Speaker 3: Western Kentucky, why do you get credit for blowing out
20:01
Speaker 3: a team that you're basically paying to show up?
20:03
Speaker 4: I think this is a two-lane argument because the coach's
20:06
Speaker 4: poll really has nothing to do with the end of
20:08
Speaker 4: the season in the college football committee. I think the
20:10
Speaker 4: college football committee at the end of the season will
20:12
Speaker 4: give Ohio State bonus points.
20:14
Speaker 3: They did not do that last year with Texas. Texas
20:17
Speaker 3: had three losses, and the third loss was to Ohio State.
20:20
Speaker 3: They would have gotten in with two losses.
20:21
Speaker 4: I hope they take that off. I hope when you
20:23
Speaker 4: play Rice or you play FAMU or you play Howard,
20:27
Speaker 4: second game of the season, which is a payout game,
20:29
Speaker 4: You don't get any credit for that win. Almost take
20:31
Speaker 4: it off your docket.
20:31
Speaker 3: Yeah, and Miami has that whole schedule is basically that game.
20:35
Speaker 2: ACC is weak.
20:36
Speaker 3: Stanford looked like FAMU in week one against Miami. So
20:40
Speaker 3: Miami is going to cruise into the playoff. They might
20:43
Speaker 3: lose to Notre Dame, but even if they do, they're
20:45
Speaker 3: going to be fine.
20:46
Speaker 4: All right, speaking of two guys who need a win,
20:48
Speaker 4: it's us two. We're basically 0-4. I think you got
20:50
Speaker 4: three-quarters of a point in our fun, fun game. You
20:53
Speaker 4: can play at home, you kids. It's called Who Said It?
20:55
Speaker 4: NFL related, baseball related, college football related. Who said this?
21:00
Speaker 4: He wants me to be who I am. He wants
21:02
Speaker 4: me to be confident. Be me. And continue to be
21:04
Speaker 4: me because when I'm me, I'm able to be like
21:07
Speaker 4: that on the field. If they try to take that
21:10
Speaker 4: away from me. Okay, I got this one. I'm calling
21:12
Speaker 4: my shot Larry Bird style. This is Jackson Dart about
21:16
Speaker 4: John Harbaugh.
21:18
Speaker 2: Oh, it's so good. I would say Mahomes.
21:21
Speaker 4: Do you want on this one?
21:23
Speaker 2: No, I'm going to say Patrick Mahomes on Andy Reid.
21:26
Speaker 2: That's a good call, too. Here we go.
21:28
Speaker 4: He wants me to be who I am.
21:29
Speaker 7: He wants me to be confident, be me, and continue
21:32
Speaker 7: to be me because when I'm me, I'm able to
21:35
Speaker 7: be like that on the field. And if they try
21:37
Speaker 7: to take me out of who I am, they know
21:39
Speaker 7: that you might not get the full me.
21:41
Speaker 4: That is first-team all-bro Cam Scadaboo. Talk about John Harbaugh.
21:45
Speaker 4: Do I get a half a point?
21:46
Speaker 2: You get three-quarters of a point. That was very close.
21:49
Speaker 2: We're going to get one of these eventually, Paul.
21:50
Speaker 4: Eventually, but three-quarters to three-quarters, that's who said it.
21:53
Speaker 2: All right.
21:54
Speaker 4: Coming up next, oh, this is bonus coverage. Chiefs writer
21:57
Speaker 4: Carrington Harrison. Talk about the Chiefs. All good news there,
22:01
Speaker 4: or was it? We'll find out next. Stick around. This
22:03
Speaker 4: is Not So Fast.
22:05
Speaker 2: Welcome back to Not So Fast. NBC Sports Now. I'm Peacock.
22:09
Speaker 2: I'm Perloff. He's Paps. Now, every week we give out
22:13
Speaker 2: helmet stickers.
22:13
Speaker 4: And players are very excited about this.
22:15
Speaker 3: Yeah, I had a hard time. I obviously wanted to
22:17
Speaker 3: go with the Chiefs after last night's game. and there
22:20
Speaker 3: are about eight of them I wanted to give out,
22:21
Speaker 3: but we can only give out one.
22:22
Speaker 2: Why don't you go first?
22:23
Speaker 4: I'm going to go first. I'm going to go George Karloftis.
22:25
Speaker 4: He's one of those guys that most people don't know.
22:27
Speaker 4: He's a very good defensive end for the past six
22:29
Speaker 4: years out of Purdue for the Chiefs. He's one of
22:31
Speaker 4: the constants. Chris Jones is a star. Remember, Honey Badger
22:34
Speaker 4: years ago was a star. There's stars all over the offense.
22:37
Speaker 4: George Karloftis, meat and potatoes, lunch pail guy, first man in,
22:41
Speaker 4: last man out, all the cliches, gritty and gutty. Karloftis,
22:44
Speaker 4: helmet sticker for you, buddy.
22:45
Speaker 3: Okay, I'm going to actually stay on defense, and I'm
22:47
Speaker 3: going with rookie pass rusher R. Mason Thomas, who had
22:51
Speaker 3: a big sack and was kind of awesome all night long,
22:53
Speaker 3: second-round pick. But here's why I picked him, Paul. I
22:55
Speaker 3: thought you would like this. What does the R stand for,
22:58
Speaker 3: you might ask? Apparently, his mother's family had a tradition
23:01
Speaker 3: of names beginning with the letter R, but she preferred
23:04
Speaker 3: the name Mason, so they just stuck the R in
23:06
Speaker 3: front of it.
23:07
Speaker 2: Now he's R. Mason Taylor.
23:08
Speaker 4: Does the R mean nothing?
23:09
Speaker 2: The R means nothing, according to my research.
23:11
Speaker 4: How about rushing, because he's a pass rusher?
23:13
Speaker 2: That would be P.R., All right. Well, we need an expert, obviously,
23:17
Speaker 2: on this one.
23:18
Speaker 3: Let's go to Carrington Harrison, of course, hosts the drive
23:22
Speaker 3: with Carrington Harrison, 96.5 The Fan in Kansas City.
23:26
Speaker 2: Carrington, congratulations on the win last night. Were you aware
23:29
Speaker 2: of the R. Mason Taylor story coming into the season?
23:33
Speaker 8: Yeah, I actually was aware of this story, so I'm
23:36
Speaker 8: happy that you guys are sharing it for people. I
23:38
Speaker 8: actually want to ask you guys a question. I'm going
23:40
Speaker 8: to now put a question on you guys. Tom Cruise
23:43
Speaker 8: was at the game yesterday. He was sitting in the
23:45
Speaker 8: suite with Taylor Swift. When you see Tom Cruise, is
23:49
Speaker 8: he Maverick from Top Gun or is he Ethan Hunt
23:51
Speaker 8: from Mission Impossible?
23:52
Speaker 4: I'm going to go off the board here. He's Steph
23:54
Speaker 4: Georgievich from Empire Football. All the right moves. One of
23:58
Speaker 4: my favorite underrated football movies. He's Steph Georgievich, hard-hitting defensive back.
24:02
Speaker 5: Okay, wow. You went real off the grid there.
24:05
Speaker 1: Yes.
24:05
Speaker 3: I just most recently watched the Top Gun sequel where
24:08
Speaker 3: he looks exactly like that.
24:10
Speaker 2: So I'm going Top Gun. Carrington, how about you?
24:14
Speaker 8: I think he's Maverick from Top Gun. When I went
24:16
Speaker 8: to go see, well, at first, so this was a
24:18
Speaker 8: couple years ago. I live in Kansas City. So every June,
24:21
Speaker 8: the Royals are completely out of it. So we have
24:23
Speaker 8: to find some way to entertain ourselves. So one summer
24:26
Speaker 8: I watched an 80s movie every day that I had
24:28
Speaker 8: never seen before. So I had never seen Top Gun.
24:31
Speaker 8: So when Goose dies, it blew my mind. This was
24:33
Speaker 8: the plot twist. I wasn't expecting.
24:35
Speaker 5: I was like, oh, my goodness.
24:37
Speaker 8: So when I went to go see Top Gun Maverick,
24:39
Speaker 8: I'm telling you, I was blown away. I had never
24:41
Speaker 8: seen anything like it before. So he's Maverick to me.
24:44
Speaker 2: All right. All right, Carrington.
24:46
Speaker 3: Obviously, the football game as well as Tom Cruise and
24:48
Speaker 3: Taylor Swift being there.
24:49
Speaker 2: How surprised were you that the Chiefs rolled like that?
24:53
Speaker 8: I mean, I was just surprised more so defensively than offensively.
24:58
Speaker 8: I expected Kenneth Walker to have a good day. I
25:00
Speaker 8: expected the Chiefs to be committed to running the football
25:02
Speaker 8: with Kenneth Walker.
25:03
Speaker 5: What I was not.
25:04
Speaker 8: Expecting for was for Jalen Waddell to be in witness protection.
25:08
Speaker 8: What I was not expecting to get absolutely nothing from
25:10
Speaker 8: Cortland Sutton. If you add those two guys, three catches
25:14
Speaker 8: for 14 yards on eight targets. The Broncos, outside of
25:18
Speaker 8: the second drive of the season, did very little offensively.
25:22
Speaker 5: So as much of the praise is going to go.
25:24
Speaker 8: To Kenneth Walker, and it should be for the day
25:26
Speaker 8: that he had, a lot of praise needs to go
25:28
Speaker 8: to that defense.
25:29
Speaker 4: You know, Carrington, I want to ask you about the Chiefs'
25:31
Speaker 4: history with the running back position. Back in the day,
25:33
Speaker 4: they didn't spend a lot of money on Isaiah Pacheco's
25:35
Speaker 4: seventh-round pick. They did try to pick up Clyde Edwards-Hilaire
25:38
Speaker 4: in that draft, that late first-round pick. But now they
25:41
Speaker 4: have some funds to play with. Their wide receivers are
25:44
Speaker 4: not that expensive. Kelsey is not as expensive. And they
25:47
Speaker 4: parked some money in Kenneth Walker. This is one of
25:50
Speaker 4: the bigger moves, I think, in the recent history of
25:51
Speaker 4: the franchise. Can you see them becoming a run-first team
25:55
Speaker 4: long-term more so than just last night?
25:57
Speaker 8: I mean, I think at least early in the first
25:59
Speaker 8: part of the season, I thought Mahomes looked a little
26:01
Speaker 8: bit off from an accuracy standpoint. I still think the
26:04
Speaker 8: Chiefs have wide receiver issues. I know that it's a
26:06
Speaker 8: lot about Keith Walker today. I'm still not a believer
26:09
Speaker 8: in Xavier Worthy, and you need Rasheed Rice to be
26:12
Speaker 8: a more consistent threat.
26:14
Speaker 5: But I think this is just around the league.
26:16
Speaker 8: One of my frustrations covering the Chiefs the last couple
26:19
Speaker 8: of years is I thought they were trying to play
26:20
Speaker 8: offense with one arm tied behind their back. Think of
26:22
Speaker 8: any team that you guys think can win the Super Bowl.
26:25
Speaker 8: Every team that you think can win the Super Bowl
26:27
Speaker 8: can run the football effectively. The Chiefs just haven't been
26:30
Speaker 8: able to run the football. So I think, if anything,
26:32
Speaker 8: this is just a return to normalcy, and the Chiefs
26:34
Speaker 8: are just catching up with the rest of the league
26:36
Speaker 8: by being able to run the football.
26:38
Speaker 2: Kerry, who did you pick out of the AFC to
26:40
Speaker 2: get to the Super Bowl?
26:42
Speaker 5: I actually really liked the Broncos coming into it.
26:44
Speaker 8: And it's funny because you know how week one, everybody
26:47
Speaker 8: now has an overreaction. You know, we all love the
26:49
Speaker 8: Rams coming into the season. Now you look at their
26:52
Speaker 8: schedule and I don't know about it. Now you look
26:54
Speaker 8: at Denver's schedule after how they looked offensively. Man, I
26:57
Speaker 8: could wake up and the Broncos could be two and four.
26:59
Speaker 8: You're putting up your Halloween decoration. You're wondering what went
27:02
Speaker 8: wrong this season for the Broncos. So, yeah, I love
27:05
Speaker 8: Denver coming into the game. Seeing how they performed offensively,
27:08
Speaker 8: I got questions about that team.
27:09
Speaker 4: You know, Carrington, you mentioned people who bail after week one.
27:12
Speaker 4: It just happened minutes ago and not so fast. My
27:14
Speaker 4: guy Pearl right here, he had the Broncos winning the
27:16
Speaker 4: Super Bowl an hour ago, and I offered him the
27:19
Speaker 4: chance to bail, and he took it. He took it.
27:22
Speaker 8: I completely understand. I mean, it was just losing to
27:25
Speaker 8: the Chiefs is one thing. There's no shame in going
27:28
Speaker 8: on the road and losing at Arrowhead. It was kind
27:30
Speaker 8: of how they lost. And my biggest takeaway, at least
27:33
Speaker 8: in the AFC, is it feels like nature is healing
27:35
Speaker 8: a little bit, where Cincinnati was really good in week one.
27:38
Speaker 8: Buffalo was really good in week one. Baltimore was really good.
27:41
Speaker 8: A lot of the teams that we thought were going
27:43
Speaker 8: to be good last season who kind of took a
27:46
Speaker 8: step back, they're all good, and they're back to kind
27:48
Speaker 8: of where they're supposed to be. where Denver's still got
27:51
Speaker 8: to prove it to you. New England still has to
27:52
Speaker 8: prove it to you. I don't really know what to
27:54
Speaker 8: do with Jacksonville because they didn't play an actual NFL
27:57
Speaker 8: team in Week 1, but all the other teams that
27:59
Speaker 8: played NFL teams in Week 1 looked impressive.
28:02
Speaker 3: Well, what about the Chiefs? I mean, I actually get
28:05
Speaker 3: to pick a new Super Bowl winner. Paul's letting me.
28:08
Speaker 3: I've got to be honest. I think KC's in the mix.
28:12
Speaker 2: Is that a safe pick?
28:14
Speaker 4: Really gutsy.
28:15
Speaker 8: Yeah, I mean, at least with Kansas City where I
28:18
Speaker 8: am with them is, I think we're going to be
28:19
Speaker 8: having a conversation in six weeks about the Chiefs need
28:22
Speaker 8: to make a trade at wide receiver. I'm not a
28:24
Speaker 8: believer in their passing game, and I understand Mahomes is
28:27
Speaker 8: going to get better. I mean, we've been having the
28:29
Speaker 8: same conversations for Xavier Worthy now going on for three years.
28:32
Speaker 5: We're having these same conversations.
28:33
Speaker 8: So I think that's ultimately going to be something that
28:36
Speaker 8: they need to fix. I mean, I came into it
28:38
Speaker 8: thinking that there were nine teams that were viable to
28:41
Speaker 8: go to a Super Bowl out of the AFC. There's
28:43
Speaker 8: now probably six or seven teams that you'd really like
28:45
Speaker 8: to come out of the AFC. But it's really anybody's
28:48
Speaker 8: race in that regard. But what I will say for
28:50
Speaker 8: Kansas City is football hasn't changed. If you can run
28:53
Speaker 8: the football effectively, if you can play defense the way
28:56
Speaker 8: that Kansas City did, you can beat just about anybody
28:58
Speaker 8: in the league.
28:58
Speaker 5: That's how they dominated Denver.
29:00
Speaker 8: They were A-plus in running the football, and they did
29:03
Speaker 8: a great job really limiting any offensive weapon that the
29:06
Speaker 8: Broncos had.
29:07
Speaker 4: All right, Carrington, before we let you go, we'd like
29:08
Speaker 4: to do a thing here at Not So Fast called
29:10
Speaker 4: Such Thing is a Dumb Question. You're a journalist. There's
29:12
Speaker 4: not so much a dumb question coming out of you,
29:15
Speaker 4: more out of us. If you were in the press
29:16
Speaker 4: box last night, which I think you were, let's say
29:18
Speaker 4: you were in the press box, sweet box last night,
29:20
Speaker 4: and you're waiting for a bathroom, and all of a
29:22
Speaker 4: sudden behind you in the little line, hypothetical, up walks
29:25
Speaker 4: Tom Cruise. Two parts. Do you let Tom Cruise go
29:28
Speaker 4: to the bathroom first for whatever reason, or can you
29:31
Speaker 4: strike up a conversation in any way with Tom Cruise?
29:34
Speaker 8: I was not in the press box. I actually had
29:36
Speaker 8: regular tickets yesterday. So I was just a regular fan
29:38
Speaker 8: watching the game. I would absolutely let Tom Cruise. Well,
29:42
Speaker 8: I guess let me answer this. How bad do I
29:44
Speaker 8: have to go?
29:45
Speaker 4: A four out of ten. Like a four out of ten.
29:49
Speaker 2: Oh, yeah.
29:49
Speaker 5: Then I'll let Tom go.
29:50
Speaker 8: But, yeah, in exchange for that, Tom needs to be
29:54
Speaker 8: willing to take a picture or at least answer a
29:57
Speaker 8: couple of questions. I don't need to make it weird.
29:59
Speaker 8: I don't need to make it awkward. But, Tom, I mean,
30:02
Speaker 8: I'm letting you cut me in line. The least you
30:03
Speaker 8: can do is take a quick selfie.
30:05
Speaker 4: Fair enough.
30:06
Speaker 2: All right, Kerry.
30:07
Speaker 3: Well, hopefully we'll have good news coming out of KC
30:09
Speaker 3: all season long if they get to receivers.
30:12
Speaker 2: Thanks for joining us. We'll talk to you soon, buddy.
30:14
Speaker 8: Something tells me that if I'm on with you guys
30:16
Speaker 8: prior to their game against Seattle, something went terribly wrong
30:19
Speaker 8: for Kansas City.
30:20
Speaker 5: They got Miami and Las Vegas coming up.
30:22
Speaker 8: So if you guys hit me up and say, hey,
30:24
Speaker 8: we want to talk, that means they lost to the Dolphins,
30:26
Speaker 8: and we got a lot of problems to discuss.
30:28
Speaker 2: All right. Talk to you soon. Thanks, Carrington.
30:30
Speaker 5: Thanks, guys.
30:31
Speaker 2: Carrington Harrison. I got to be honest, Paul.
30:34
Speaker 3: If you really are giving me this mulligan— Kansas City
30:37
Speaker 3: is very, very tempting.
30:38
Speaker 4: You've got about 20 more minutes before you've got to
30:40
Speaker 4: make your choice. All right, we're going to do a
30:42
Speaker 4: thing every week here on Not So Fast. It's going
30:44
Speaker 4: to be NFL Play of the Season. It's kind of
30:46
Speaker 4: a knockout game. It's kind of a who had it first,
30:49
Speaker 4: can you keep it for week to week. Week one,
30:52
Speaker 4: let's see who's got it. It's T.J.
30:55
Speaker 2: Watt. All right.
30:56
Speaker 4: Here is play. He makes the Jefferson play. And here's
30:59
Speaker 4: the thing. He wins it week one, but can he
31:02
Speaker 4: hold it week two, three, and four and be kind
31:04
Speaker 4: of king of the hill? of NFL play of the season.
31:06
Speaker 4: Eats this one up, goes down, gets back up, gets
31:10
Speaker 4: some blocking, and scores his first career NFL touchdown. That's
31:14
Speaker 4: the play of the season so far in holding.
31:17
Speaker 5: You know what?
31:17
Speaker 2: The only reason, though, is because he's a defensive end.
31:19
Speaker 2: And you don't expect them to be able to do
31:21
Speaker 2: that kind of thing. No.
31:22
Speaker 3: It's not a one-handed Odell Beckham Jr. catch, but for T.J. Watt,
31:26
Speaker 3: this is spectacular.
31:26
Speaker 4: Big, meaty Watt hands covered with tape. You think can't
31:29
Speaker 4: catch that. He sure did.
31:30
Speaker 3: So are you going to be watching everything next weekend
31:32
Speaker 3: looking for a better play?
31:34
Speaker 2: We all are.
31:35
Speaker 4: All the not-so-fasters out there, you watch. Send them in
31:37
Speaker 4: to us on Twitter. We'll put it on the show.
31:39
Speaker 2: All right. That's awesome.
31:40
Speaker 3: Coming up next, Dan Patrick makes another movie. We'll hear
31:44
Speaker 3: from DP on what it was like on the latest
31:46
Speaker 3: Sandler movie. Much more Not-So-Fast.
31:54
Speaker 6: I had a one-day movie shoot in New Jersey with
31:57
Speaker 6: Adam Sandler for Grown Ups 3. I went in with
32:00
Speaker 6: only one line. As it turns out, I'm box office magic,
32:05
Speaker 6: and Sandler gave me another line, and I'm sitting.
32:09
Speaker 5: Wow.
32:10
Speaker 4: Yeah.
32:11
Speaker 1: Yeah.
32:12
Speaker 6: I'm sitting with Chris Rock for basically two hours. And
32:15
Speaker 6: I think he's trying to use sports analogies to help
32:20
Speaker 6: me understand things. He'd be like, oh, yeah, that'd be
32:24
Speaker 6: like Jamarcus Russell with the Raiders.
32:26
Speaker 2: And I'd go, oh, okay.
32:29
Speaker 6: Everything was a sports analogy maybe to help me understand
32:34
Speaker 6: something else.
32:36
Speaker 4: Back on Not So Fast, Paxton Perloff here, NBC Sports Now, Peacock.
32:40
Speaker 2: That's fun.
32:40
Speaker 4: And now Dan's been on movie shoots before. I do
32:42
Speaker 4: urge you to see Grown Ups 1 and 2 so
32:45
Speaker 4: you won't be lost in the plot of Grown Ups 3.
32:48
Speaker 4: Another fun day for DP hanging with the Sandman.
32:50
Speaker 3: You know, that reminds me of way back, Miami Super Bowl.
32:53
Speaker 3: Do you remember when Chris Rock, David Spade, and Kevin
32:56
Speaker 3: James all came on the show together?
32:58
Speaker 4: The first Grown Ups.
32:59
Speaker 3: The first Grown Ups. And I remember Chris Rock really
33:02
Speaker 3: wanted to talk sports with Dan.
33:03
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's a good point. And that reminded me, we're
33:06
Speaker 4: doing this. We were at the ESPN Zone years ago
33:09
Speaker 4: doing the Dan Patrick show. And Chris Rock came by
33:11
Speaker 4: with an entourage of PR people and movie people for
33:13
Speaker 4: some movie he was doing. And he was supposed to
33:16
Speaker 4: sit in with Dan for 15 minutes. 45 minutes later,
33:19
Speaker 4: Chris Rock did not want to leave the studio. I'm
33:21
Speaker 4: not going to ask Chris Rock to leave the studio.
33:23
Speaker 4: He just wanted to talk New York sports. His PR
33:25
Speaker 4: people are going berserk. They're like, he's got to go.
33:27
Speaker 4: I'm like, you got to tell Chris.
33:28
Speaker 2: And he knows a ton of sports. Yes. Spade, not
33:31
Speaker 2: so much.
33:32
Speaker 4: Not so much, but very, very snarky.
33:33
Speaker 2: All right.
33:34
Speaker 4: Another guy who knows a lot about sports is our
33:35
Speaker 4: buddy Nick Wright of FS1. He is a self-declared Chiefs guy. Fritzie,
33:41
Speaker 4: not a Chiefs guy, a Broncos guy. So we had
33:42
Speaker 4: Nick Wright on today. He came in hot.
33:45
Speaker 2: Here we go.
33:47
Speaker 4: Bo Nix!
33:49
Speaker 2: Davis Webb!
33:51
Speaker 8: John Payton already regretting firing himself from play calling.
33:57
Speaker 5: Oh, Jalen Waddell.
33:59
Speaker 4: You guys should trade for Jalen Waddell.
34:03
Speaker 5: You should do something. Todd, would you like to respond?
34:06
Speaker 2: All I'm going to say is part of the reason
34:07
Speaker 2: why I booked Nick in advance is I was so
34:09
Speaker 2: confident that Denver was going to win week one and
34:11
Speaker 2: he was going to have to do something very opposite.
34:14
Speaker 4: This is very funny because it's all true. Fritzie did
34:17
Speaker 4: book Nick Wright for the High end or low end
34:20
Speaker 4: of the booking. And it worked out very well.
34:21
Speaker 2: Todd should have canceled.
34:23
Speaker 3: He should have came up with an excuse saying we
34:24
Speaker 3: were having technical difficulties.
34:25
Speaker 4: Or called in sick.
34:26
Speaker 3: Yeah, why would Todd open himself up to that? We
34:30
Speaker 3: put crime tape over it because it was a homicide.
34:32
Speaker 4: I will give Todd credit, though. He knows good content.
34:34
Speaker 4: And the extreme of Nick Wright being booked on today's
34:36
Speaker 4: show is good content.
34:37
Speaker 3: I don't think I've ever seen a DP show guest
34:39
Speaker 3: as happy as Nick Wright was to dunk on Todd today.
34:42
Speaker 4: Yeah, Nick Wright had to move his schedule around. Nick
34:44
Speaker 4: usually joins us on Mondays or Wednesdays. He told us
34:47
Speaker 4: just because of the other things he does with his podcast.
34:49
Speaker 4: He goes, I'm moving everything back to join you today.
34:52
Speaker 3: You know, so you're a Bears fan. I'm an Eagles fan.
34:54
Speaker 3: I think when we win, we're a little more muted
34:56
Speaker 3: than that. I like that Nick just put it out there.
34:58
Speaker 4: Like, yeah, I almost like when you win, you almost
35:00
Speaker 4: like poo-poo it. Like it didn't happen. You don't want
35:02
Speaker 4: to get too into it. Nick steps on the gas.
35:04
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's got three Super Bowl rings.
35:05
Speaker 3: And he was saying, oh, Mahomes was texting me in
35:07
Speaker 3: March with images of his rehab.
35:10
Speaker 2: So Nick is on top of the world.
35:11
Speaker 4: And I think they play again November 1st at the Broncos.
35:15
Speaker 4: So that'll be a good running bet.
35:16
Speaker 1: Okay.
35:17
Speaker 2: Awesome. You know a guy who always has a good soundbite.
35:19
Speaker 3: Lane Kiffin returns to Oxford this weekend as LSU takes
35:23
Speaker 3: on Ole Miss. He talked about how he's been able
35:25
Speaker 3: to handle all the hype around this game.
35:29
Speaker 9: I told the players today, man, you don't have anything
35:32
Speaker 9: to worry about as far as attention on you all
35:35
Speaker 9: week and everything. There's just going to be so much attention, hatred,
35:38
Speaker 9: everything on me. I said, you just get to go play.
35:41
Speaker 9: And I said, really, the pressure's on them. They're the
35:44
Speaker 9: team that We won seven games last year.
35:47
Speaker 2: They won 13.
35:47
Speaker 9: They returned two Heisman candidates. How often does that ever
35:53
Speaker 9: happen in the same backfield? We had it one time
35:56
Speaker 9: with Matt Leiner and Reggie Bush, and second longest winning
35:59
Speaker 9: streak in the country. So you guys just get to
36:01
Speaker 9: go play, and the pressure's not on you.
36:04
Speaker 4: This is a classic coach move. Us against the world,
36:07
Speaker 4: put it all on me, I'll take the heat. This
36:09
Speaker 4: is a little faux by Lane Kiffin. Lane Kiffin made
36:12
Speaker 4: his own bet. Nobody hates you. You're just bothered by
36:15
Speaker 4: what you did in spurning Ole Miss and going to LSU.
36:17
Speaker 4: Nobody hates you. But he's using it classic coach speak.
36:20
Speaker 4: But don't play the victim role because you're not the victim.
36:22
Speaker 4: You chose to take a big pay raise and go
36:24
Speaker 4: to a different place in the SEC, but it's classic
36:27
Speaker 4: talk to a bunch of 18- to 20-year-olds. Hey, guys,
36:30
Speaker 4: they hate me. You guys go be my guys and
36:33
Speaker 4: take them down because it's us against the world.
36:35
Speaker 2: They hate Lane Kiffin in Oxford, Mississippi.
36:38
Speaker 4: In Oxford?
36:39
Speaker 1: Yeah.
36:40
Speaker 3: But you're saying nationally. I'm not even sure that's true.
36:42
Speaker 3: There are a lot of people who have a lot
36:43
Speaker 3: of problems with Lane Kiffin.
36:44
Speaker 4: Well, but I think people in Oxford, Mississippi also know
36:47
Speaker 4: he got them to new heights. And I think an
36:49
Speaker 4: educated football fan, and there's a lot of smart football
36:51
Speaker 4: fans down in Mississippi who know it was a great
36:53
Speaker 4: move to get Lane Kiffin. He upped your program for
36:55
Speaker 4: two years and put you in position to be in position.
36:58
Speaker 4: And they have Trinidad Chambliss and Ke'wan Lacy because of
37:02
Speaker 4: what Lane Kiffin did, and they still had the benefits
37:04
Speaker 4: of that.
37:04
Speaker 3: Well, the thing to me is it's ridiculous to say
37:06
Speaker 3: that the pressure's on Ole Miss.
37:08
Speaker 2: Nobody's looking at this game.
37:09
Speaker 3: I mean, yes, they do have Kiwan Lacey and Trinidad Chambliss,
37:12
Speaker 3: but come on, LSU got the number one portal class,
37:15
Speaker 3: and they blew out Clemson.
37:17
Speaker 2: So Lane played too well to keep the pressure off.
37:19
Speaker 2: Now the pressure's on him.
37:20
Speaker 4: And college football, back-to-back appointment games, Texas OU, LSU, Ole Miss, primetime.
37:26
Speaker 4: It couldn't have gone better for college football.
37:28
Speaker 3: I mean, the drama of Lane has become what Deion
37:30
Speaker 3: Sanders was two years ago.
37:31
Speaker 2: He's the one coach you want to hear from. every Monday.
37:35
Speaker 3: I'm already looking forward to the post-game press conference, no
37:38
Speaker 3: matter what happens with LSU.
37:39
Speaker 4: Okay, here's another. This one's a little weird. I still
37:41
Speaker 4: don't know what to make of this, and you and
37:42
Speaker 4: I watched this a few times. James Franklin is the
37:45
Speaker 4: head coach of Virginia Tech. You remember him back in
37:47
Speaker 4: the day, not too long ago, at Penn State. James
37:50
Speaker 4: Franklin can be prickly. I think that's a nice way
37:52
Speaker 4: to say it, and you can take a few letters
37:54
Speaker 4: off there, depending on who's talking about him. But here
37:57
Speaker 4: he is with a reporter at yesterday's normal press conference.
38:02
Speaker 9: Michael Howes with the Baltimore Sun.
38:03
Speaker 4: Hey Michael. Hey Michael.
38:06
Speaker 7: What do you remember about working alongside?
38:10
Speaker 8: Hey Michael, how you doing Michael?
38:14
Speaker 2: Michael, how you doing? Can you hear me? Yeah, I'm
38:19
Speaker 2: saying how you doing? Good, how are you? Good, good.
38:24
Speaker 4: On the weird meter, this is about an eight and
38:25
Speaker 4: a half.
38:26
Speaker 3: I read some things that James Franklin wants everyone to say,
38:29
Speaker 3: how are you? It's some sort of weird politeness thing.
38:32
Speaker 3: But that was not polite. That was kind of mean.
38:34
Speaker 4: Yeah, and also, coaches, you can't really dictate how the
38:36
Speaker 4: press conference goes. You want to get moving. If you're
38:39
Speaker 4: a reporter at a press conference, you want to get
38:41
Speaker 4: your question in, get your stuff, and get it back
38:43
Speaker 4: to you, right, if there's still papers, or get it
38:46
Speaker 4: to your TV station or radio station. Your decor at
38:48
Speaker 4: a press conference doesn't really change our job.
38:51
Speaker 2: It's their job. We have to double-check this. I think
38:53
Speaker 2: he was on Zoom, and I saw a tweet from him.
38:55
Speaker 3: I believe it was him saying, saying that he thought
38:57
Speaker 3: he was frozen, which is totally my worst nightmare. Oh, yeah,
39:00
Speaker 3: here's Michael Howell. He said, James Franklin really wanted to
39:02
Speaker 3: know how my day was this morning. Couldn't see him
39:04
Speaker 3: on Zoom and thought the audio was glitchy.
39:06
Speaker 2: My apologies, James. He doesn't need to apologize. I thought
39:09
Speaker 2: James Franklin was kind of bullying the media right now.
39:11
Speaker 4: It did seem that way. I'll tell you what I
39:13
Speaker 4: would do. If I were a media member covering Vatec football,
39:16
Speaker 4: and this happens next week, he says, hey, Paul, how
39:18
Speaker 4: you doing? I'd be like, you know, my back hurts
39:19
Speaker 4: a little bit. And, you know, my mom is having issues. But,
39:22
Speaker 4: you know, that's all good. And my car... I got
39:24
Speaker 4: to get it inspected. And, you know, my kids are
39:26
Speaker 4: going to college. I would do like a two-minute diatribe
39:29
Speaker 4: about how I'm doing and just hijack his press conference
39:31
Speaker 4: and see what he thinks.
39:32
Speaker 2: I love that.
39:33
Speaker 3: And James Franklin's funny because I think he had a
39:35
Speaker 3: lot of enemies when he was at Penn State.
39:38
Speaker 4: A mixed bag.
39:39
Speaker 3: Yeah, but then everything's been good at Virginia Tech. I
39:41
Speaker 3: think that he got a lot of the bad skeletons
39:44
Speaker 3: out of his closet out of the way, and now
39:45
Speaker 3: it's back.
39:46
Speaker 4: He still got some of that buyout money from Penn State.
39:47
Speaker 4: All right, it's time. Let's stick with college football. This
39:50
Speaker 4: is the college football play of the season. Same thing.
39:52
Speaker 4: King of the Hill. Which is the best play? Will
39:55
Speaker 4: it hold to week two, three, four, and so forth? Now,
39:59
Speaker 4: let's go to my guy.
40:00
Speaker 2: Your guy?
40:02
Speaker 5: Our guy.
40:02
Speaker 2: How did you get Drew Mestermaker?
40:04
Speaker 4: Oklahoma State quarterback Drew Mestermaker versus Oregon. He did the
40:07
Speaker 4: John Elway helicopter play. Watch this.
40:10
Speaker 2: Beautiful.
40:12
Speaker 4: In the sun. Glistening. Majestic. And in the end zone.
40:16
Speaker 4: Gets right up. No problems. That looks like a Madden play.
40:19
Speaker 3: Oh, and not only that, it was an incredibly important,
40:21
Speaker 3: critical part of the game.
40:23
Speaker 4: Plus you win the game.
40:24
Speaker 2: Plus you win the game. You beat one of the
40:25
Speaker 2: top three teams.
40:27
Speaker 3: Everything Drew Messermaker did on Saturday was awesome. But the
40:29
Speaker 3: John Elway moment is definitely, that's a really, really good college.
40:33
Speaker 2: Play of the year.
40:34
Speaker 4: Now we're going to get Drew Messermaker on Not So
40:36
Speaker 4: Fast pretty soon is what I'm hearing. But this guy
40:38
Speaker 4: is a really interesting character. I know you want to
40:40
Speaker 4: talk about this more down the road, but for the
40:42
Speaker 4: NFL draft next year, he is the rising guy, isn't he?
40:45
Speaker 2: Yeah. Well, it's funny.
40:46
Speaker 3: He would be a small school guy. He gets compared
40:48
Speaker 3: a little bit to Ben Roethlisberger, who went to Miami
40:50
Speaker 3: of Ohio.
40:51
Speaker 2: But think about it.
40:52
Speaker 3: If Ben Roethlisberger played today, he would have transferred out
40:54
Speaker 3: of Miami of Ohio and went to Oklahoma State. So
40:57
Speaker 3: he definitely is the out-of-nowhere guy. I really like what
41:00
Speaker 3: I saw. But he was bad in week one, so
41:02
Speaker 3: that's confusing as well.
41:03
Speaker 4: I think Ohio State would have got Ben Roethlisberger. Coming
41:06
Speaker 4: up next, a lot more coming up. constructive criticism, and
41:09
Speaker 4: the feel-good. Stick around. This is Not So Fast, Pabst
41:12
Speaker 4: and Perlman.
41:12
Speaker 3: All right, welcome back to Not So Fast. Every day
41:15
Speaker 3: we have leftovers, things that we didn't get to yet.
41:18
Speaker 3: So last night, Paul, the Yankees and Dodgers clinched the playoff.
41:21
Speaker 2: Very exciting. So you got to celebrate. It's MLB tradition.
41:24
Speaker 3: I don't know if you know this, but I have
41:26
Speaker 3: a major problem with over-celebrating early rounds in the MLB playoffs.
41:31
Speaker 4: Wait, did the Yankees win the World Series last night?
41:33
Speaker 2: Well, I mean, this is Pretty standard.
41:36
Speaker 3: Basically, every round you advance, this is what most teams do.
41:39
Speaker 4: That's a bottle per person at least, and they put
41:41
Speaker 4: the tarps out, not tarps off.
41:43
Speaker 2: Oh, the Dodgers.
41:44
Speaker 4: The Dodgers look like they're having an engagement celebration with
41:47
Speaker 4: some light pouring of champagne.
41:49
Speaker 3: Yeah, it looks like a bridal shower. Maybe some very
41:52
Speaker 3: nice toasts. I don't know why you have to celebrate
41:55
Speaker 3: it all. The Yankees and Dodgers make it every year.
41:57
Speaker 4: By the way, the Dodgers should just do crisp handshakes
41:59
Speaker 4: and walk because if you don't make the playoffs, it's
42:01
Speaker 4: a complete failure. But I like the Dodgers. Like, this
42:04
Speaker 4: is a nice step. Ching-ching. Let's move on.
42:06
Speaker 2: So baseball used to be very few teams made the playoffs.
42:10
Speaker 3: But now that you have a wild card, it's like
42:11
Speaker 3: the NFL. Can you imagine another sport, say the NFL,
42:14
Speaker 3: where you pop champagne after a wild card win?
42:17
Speaker 4: The New York Yankees aren't some middle-of-the-road team that has no... Like,
42:20
Speaker 4: if the Pittsburgh Pirates made the postseason... Go nuts. Pour
42:24
Speaker 4: stuff over everybody. Paul Skeens, Olivia Dunn doing backflips, the
42:27
Speaker 4: whole thing. But the Yankees, they blew out the budget
42:30
Speaker 4: for this.
42:30
Speaker 2: Are we buzzkills? It just dawned on me that maybe
42:33
Speaker 2: we're no fun right now.
42:34
Speaker 4: I don't think we're buzzkills. This is not get off
42:35
Speaker 4: my lawn. This is like act like you've been there before,
42:37
Speaker 4: but a lot of these guys in the Yankees haven't
42:39
Speaker 4: been there before.
42:39
Speaker 2: Yeah, we don't want to be called not so fun.
42:42
Speaker 4: Not so fun. Not so fast. All right, it's time
42:44
Speaker 4: for Swift and Cruz at the game yesterday. Taylor Swift,
42:49
Speaker 4: Tom Cruise. Yep. Are they top five most famous humans
42:52
Speaker 4: on earth? If you did the list of five, they're
42:54
Speaker 4: in it, right?
42:55
Speaker 3: Five's tough because you obviously have Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin.
42:59
Speaker 4: Fame-wise, okay.
43:01
Speaker 3: I think that you have the two soccer players, Messi
43:04
Speaker 3: and Cristiano Ronaldo.
43:05
Speaker 2: Okay. Because those internationally are probably more famous.
43:08
Speaker 4: But that's probably the list. You're capped at like under eight.
43:11
Speaker 2: Tiger Woods, huge overseas.
43:14
Speaker 4: LeBron James.
43:15
Speaker 2: LeBron James. Shaq. Shaq. Who doesn't know Shaq?
43:19
Speaker 4: Everyone knows Shaq.
43:20
Speaker 3: We don't know what in Europe and what in Asia
43:22
Speaker 3: if they love Tom Cruise, but I imagine they do.
43:24
Speaker 4: But clearly top eight famous people on Earth.
43:26
Speaker 2: Yeah, and it's funny.
43:27
Speaker 3: They're both at a random Kansas City-Denver game. Is it
43:30
Speaker 3: weird to have Tom Cruise in KC?
43:33
Speaker 4: No, I think it's a very smart move by Tom Cruise.
43:35
Speaker 4: He's got a movie coming out. He's on the cover
43:36
Speaker 4: of GQ today. This is just the rollout to the Oscar.
43:41
Speaker 4: I'm calling my shot Larry Bird style. Tom Cruise, best actor.
43:45
Speaker 4: Book it now.
43:45
Speaker 2: Make your bets. For Digger. Digger. Are you going to
43:47
Speaker 2: go to the theater to see it?
43:49
Speaker 4: It's the Digger Phelps story about Notre Dame basketball. Of
43:51
Speaker 4: course I'm going to watch anything about Notre Dame basketball.
43:55
Speaker 2: Not so sure.
43:56
Speaker 4: Not so fast. All right, let's get to a little
43:57
Speaker 4: constructive criticism. What we're wearing, what we're doing about football, basketball, baseball, whatever.
44:02
Speaker 4: Here's the first one, Pearl. This is my home for
44:06
Speaker 4: the day.
44:07
Speaker 2: This is you.
44:08
Speaker 4: You went to a nice sports pub and watched 13
44:10
Speaker 4: hours of college football on Saturday.
44:12
Speaker 5: I respect this.
44:12
Speaker 3: So my buddy Zach Gelb is a Temple fan, and
44:14
Speaker 3: I don't know if he could get the game at home.
44:16
Speaker 2: So he wanted to go to.
44:17
Speaker 3: A sports bar, and there were 12 screens showing games.
44:20
Speaker 2: But something very bad happened. Oh, no.
44:22
Speaker 4: It looks like a great TV ratio.
44:23
Speaker 2: No, it was great.
44:24
Speaker 3: But there was a fan base that took over the bar,
44:26
Speaker 3: and they were obnoxious. I'm just going to be honest.
44:28
Speaker 2: It was Michigan, Oklahoma. And for some weird reason, New
44:32
Speaker 2: York City, every other bar is a Michigan bar. Wow.
44:35
Speaker 3: And they were feeling themselves. It's like they forgot Western
44:38
Speaker 3: Michigan ever happened, Paul. And they were letting everyone know
44:41
Speaker 3: the score of that game is Michigan beat Oklahoma.
44:43
Speaker 4: God, I wish you could have had a Western Michigan
44:44
Speaker 4: hoodie on for that game. All right, here's the next
44:46
Speaker 4: constructive criticism. Let's check it out. Packers' second half woes
44:50
Speaker 4: have carried over since 2005, 2025. It's almost like you
44:54
Speaker 4: want to be down at half. Is it LeFleur? They
44:57
Speaker 4: are out of love with LeFleur. They still love love.
44:59
Speaker 4: They don't love LeFleur. I think Packers fans are very upset.
45:03
Speaker 4: And it goes back to last season.
45:04
Speaker 3: Well, and also a couple of brutal calls on Sunday
45:06
Speaker 3: against Minnesota. But that was a record-setting loss. They were
45:09
Speaker 3: up double digits, then to lose by double digits in
45:12
Speaker 3: a very short amount of time.
45:14
Speaker 2: I'm very worried about Matt LaFleur. I think his seat
45:17
Speaker 2: is definitely hot. And I think if they miss the playoffs,
45:20
Speaker 2: he's probably done, even though he's a very good coach.
45:22
Speaker 4: Yeah, tough division. The Packers are always in there. I
45:24
Speaker 4: pump the brakes and say they'll be fine. But, man,
45:26
Speaker 4: that was ugly. All right, next one, constructive criticism. Oh,
45:29
Speaker 4: my God, Paul Papps, Brooklyn Fritzie. These white uniforms by
45:32
Speaker 4: the Broncos should get seven points just for them. I'm
45:35
Speaker 4: in a not-so-fast year. The Broncos' uniforms are nice, but
45:38
Speaker 4: that choppy arm thing is a mess. The white-on-white helmet,
45:42
Speaker 4: there's no reason for that. The Broncos have so many
45:45
Speaker 4: better options for uniforms. These are good. They're just not
45:48
Speaker 4: great Bronco-wise.
45:50
Speaker 2: You're right. So the bar is high. The white-on-white Cincinnati
45:52
Speaker 2: Bengals now, Paul?
45:53
Speaker 4: Those are crisp.
45:54
Speaker 2: Tigers, right? That, to me, is a lose.
45:55
Speaker 4: But I want some blue on the face mask. I
45:57
Speaker 4: want some blue on the helmet. Help me out.
45:58
Speaker 3: I'm a big-time white-on-white guy. I kind of like that.
46:01
Speaker 3: Good contrast with the Chiefs.
46:02
Speaker 2: All right.
46:02
Speaker 4: You're very pale, so it doesn't surprise me.
46:04
Speaker 7: All right.
46:04
Speaker 4: Next up, Constructor Criticism.
46:05
Speaker 2: Here we go.
46:07
Speaker 4: Plaid to the bone. This is yesterday's show. We're plaid
46:10
Speaker 4: on plaid. And shockingly, we're very similar today.
46:13
Speaker 2: Yeah, this is becoming a problem.
46:15
Speaker 4: Yeah, they say if we wrote a book, it'd be
46:16
Speaker 4: as plaid as we want to be. I'm sticking by it.
46:19
Speaker 4: I'm not changing who I am.
46:20
Speaker 2: So we don't call each other in the morning. I'm
46:22
Speaker 2: now looking at the camera.
46:23
Speaker 9: Clearly.
46:24
Speaker 2: We are wearing very, very similar shirts.
46:26
Speaker 4: You know, this is, you know, it feels good. And
46:29
Speaker 4: we're getting into fall. We're getting into flannel season. I
46:32
Speaker 4: would say if you don't like plaid, this might be
46:34
Speaker 4: the wrong show for you.
46:36
Speaker 3: Should we lean into the fact that we're wearing the
46:37
Speaker 3: same shirt every day or should we try to differ?
46:39
Speaker 3: Should we call each other in the morning saying I'm
46:41
Speaker 3: going to Argyle or something?
46:42
Speaker 4: I can't call you to talk about outfits in the morning.
46:44
Speaker 4: I can't. I'm a football guy from the Midwest. I mean,
46:47
Speaker 4: I might as well just, I don't even know what
46:48
Speaker 4: to say about that.
46:50
Speaker 2: Okay. Well, I think we look good.
46:51
Speaker 4: Or passable.
46:52
Speaker 2: Passable.
46:53
Speaker 4: As plaid as we want to be.
46:54
Speaker 2: Okay.
46:54
Speaker 4: All right, let's get to it. This is the feel good.
46:57
Speaker 4: This is a good one. I like this one. This
46:58
Speaker 4: is from the Chiefs game. Now, this is a Chiefs fan.
47:06
Speaker 4: Josh Chavis. Been sitting in these seats for 15 years.
47:09
Speaker 4: He's a ticket holder. I always smile when I come back. Now,
47:12
Speaker 4: this is one of those metal bars. He taps his
47:14
Speaker 4: wedding ring on it when he's nervous or concerned as
47:17
Speaker 4: a Chiefs fan. Now, this stadium will be going away soon.
47:20
Speaker 4: Any chance the Chiefs can give him the bar. Like
47:23
Speaker 4: when they take this place down, get the guys out there,
47:26
Speaker 4: the soldering guys, and just cut a piece of this
47:28
Speaker 4: off for my guy, Josh. What do you think, Josh?
47:30
Speaker 4: We're trying to help you out. Can you get that
47:31
Speaker 4: piece of metal, bring it home, mount it over the mantle?
47:34
Speaker 3: Yeah, but they could be charging a million dollars for
47:37
Speaker 3: PSLs and who knows. I saw a rendering last night
47:39
Speaker 3: during the game. It looks like a very nice stadium.
47:41
Speaker 3: I don't know if they want it. An old piece
47:44
Speaker 3: of metal from Arrowhead.
47:45
Speaker 4: Oh, that'd be a treat. I've got an old Wrigley
47:47
Speaker 4: Field seat they got me when they redid the seats.
47:49
Speaker 4: I don't know where to display it because my wife said,
47:51
Speaker 4: you're not displaying that in my house, which makes me
47:54
Speaker 4: think she doesn't want it displayed in her house.
47:56
Speaker 2: Well, it is your house together. Is that what it's outside?
48:01
Speaker 2: Is that what she means?
48:01
Speaker 4: Oh, you must be new here. It's our house together. Now,
48:04
Speaker 4: I don't know if that's the case. I have this
48:05
Speaker 4: old metal thing from Wrigley Field and it's in the
48:09
Speaker 4: basement in a box and It might be in a
48:11
Speaker 4: box for the next few.
48:12
Speaker 3: But if you're actually going to bring a relic from
48:13
Speaker 3: Arrowhead to the new stadium, I'm not sure one guy
48:16
Speaker 3: with a wedding ring qualifies.
48:18
Speaker 2: There's a lot of history with Kansas City Chiefs. Is
48:21
Speaker 2: that enough?
48:22
Speaker 4: If you got an old bench piece that Randall Cunningham
48:25
Speaker 4: sat on during the Eagles days and they cut it
48:27
Speaker 4: out for you, where are you going to put it?
48:29
Speaker 2: Oh, are you kidding me? It's the first thing you
48:30
Speaker 2: see when you come into my house.
48:31
Speaker 4: Yeah, it'd be like in the mudroom.
48:33
Speaker 2: Yeah. Do you have such a piece?
48:35
Speaker 4: I absolutely don't. All right, that's it for us, Not
48:37
Speaker 4: So Fast. Tune in to the Dan Patrick Show tomorrow.
48:39
Speaker 4: Get you all ready for midweek college football, pro football.
48:42
Speaker 4: Then stick here at noon, Not So Fast, right here
48:45
Speaker 4: on NBC Sports Now Peacock.
48:47
Speaker 2: All over the place.
48:47
Speaker 4: That's it for us.
48:48
Speaker 2: Where is the Wrigley chip?
48:49
Speaker 4: It's in a box in my office for year three.
