So happy 00:00:15.689 --> 00:00:17.649 to have you aboard for this episode. I'm your 00:00:17.649 --> 00:00:21.570 host TB and I apologize my voice is kind of trash 00:00:21.570 --> 00:00:24.429 today. I was trying to do my part in Orchard 00:00:24.429 --> 00:00:27.050 Park yesterday afternoon trying to help the Bills 00:00:27.050 --> 00:00:29.870 will their way to victory over the Kansas City 00:00:29.870 --> 00:00:33.850 Chiefs. And so as a result my voice is not doing 00:00:33.850 --> 00:00:36.530 too great. But I will do my best to get through 00:00:36.530 --> 00:00:38.969 this episode because we have a lot to get to. 00:00:39.009 --> 00:00:41.409 Thank you so very much for stopping in and checking 00:00:41.409 --> 00:00:44.840 out the 3Ts today. Let's start, Bills Mafia. 00:00:44.840 --> 00:00:47.520 You are on the clock. First, how the heck are 00:00:47.520 --> 00:00:50.679 we feeling coming off that awesome, awesome 28 00:00:50.679 --> 00:00:54.740 -21 victory over the Kansas City Chiefs? It was 00:00:54.740 --> 00:00:58.600 a bit tense there at the end. Yeah, it was crazy. 00:00:58.719 --> 00:01:00.880 It was crazy. Let's start with a few general 00:01:00.880 --> 00:01:03.039 thoughts on the whole game. I got to be honest. 00:01:03.119 --> 00:01:06.019 The weather was absolutely gorgeous. It was perfect. 00:01:06.099 --> 00:01:08.400 Perfect day for tailgating. My buddy and I got 00:01:08.400 --> 00:01:12.409 there probably around. 11 .30, 12 o 'clock, and 00:01:12.409 --> 00:01:15.650 the whole tailgate scene was great. It was beautiful 00:01:15.650 --> 00:01:17.829 weather. I know earlier in the week, the weather 00:01:17.829 --> 00:01:19.750 was looking like it was going to rain, and when 00:01:19.750 --> 00:01:22.569 it rains on your tailgate and the game, it just 00:01:22.569 --> 00:01:26.290 makes for a brutal, brutal Sunday. But it was 00:01:26.290 --> 00:01:29.730 perfect. There was barely a cloud in the sky, 00:01:29.969 --> 00:01:33.150 nice blue skies, and the weather was beautiful. 00:01:33.290 --> 00:01:36.409 Just around 50 degrees, perfect, perfect, perfect 00:01:36.409 --> 00:01:40.400 day. And the crowd was... popping let me tell 00:01:40.400 --> 00:01:42.459 you the crowd was popping it was crazy because 00:01:42.459 --> 00:01:45.180 walking into this game i'm talking with my buddy 00:01:45.180 --> 00:01:47.180 and we're kind of talking about our expectations 00:01:47.180 --> 00:01:49.920 for the game and it was funny because i know 00:01:49.920 --> 00:01:52.439 i'm gonna eat crow for this the the game preview 00:01:52.439 --> 00:01:55.420 when i previewed the bills chiefs y 'all know 00:01:55.420 --> 00:01:58.480 i picked the bills to actually lose this game 00:01:58.480 --> 00:02:01.780 so i will own it right off the bat yep that's 00:02:01.780 --> 00:02:04.359 on my that's on me that's my bad but I would 00:02:04.359 --> 00:02:08.699 rather be wrong today than anything else. So 00:02:08.699 --> 00:02:11.800 I'm so glad I lost that one. I'm so glad I got 00:02:11.800 --> 00:02:14.120 that one wrong. But it was funny. Walking into 00:02:14.120 --> 00:02:16.000 this game, we're talking, and I just kind of 00:02:16.000 --> 00:02:19.419 had this very calm demeanor about myself. I wasn't 00:02:19.419 --> 00:02:22.219 really like... super jazzed up for the game i 00:02:22.219 --> 00:02:24.039 mean i was excited to go because i hadn't been 00:02:24.039 --> 00:02:26.400 to a game since the opener but i was very calm 00:02:26.400 --> 00:02:29.620 because i just walked in with this low expectation 00:02:29.620 --> 00:02:32.120 for what the bills were gonna put out on the 00:02:32.120 --> 00:02:34.919 field and i just knew the the cheese were flying 00:02:34.919 --> 00:02:38.199 high and so it was nice to watch this game or 00:02:38.199 --> 00:02:40.340 at least try to watch this game with very low 00:02:40.340 --> 00:02:42.580 expectations but i'll tell you what this was 00:02:42.580 --> 00:02:45.639 kind of the The mood, the sense I was getting 00:02:45.639 --> 00:02:49.379 from a lot of the people going into the kickoff, 00:02:49.479 --> 00:02:52.740 people were kind of just like, I don't know if 00:02:52.740 --> 00:02:54.979 we're going to play that well. We haven't been 00:02:54.979 --> 00:02:57.319 looking too great the last few weeks and Kansas 00:02:57.319 --> 00:02:59.319 City is probably going to thump us. But it's 00:02:59.319 --> 00:03:02.039 crazy. So everyone kind of takes this chill attitude. 00:03:02.800 --> 00:03:06.080 Until the very first kickoff, right? It was almost 00:03:06.080 --> 00:03:10.800 instantly changed when we received the opening 00:03:10.800 --> 00:03:12.680 kick. And on the very first play of the game, 00:03:12.819 --> 00:03:15.780 there's a yellow penalty flag. And we knew instantly, 00:03:15.960 --> 00:03:17.800 hey, what did I talk about in the game preview? 00:03:17.960 --> 00:03:19.780 I said this was going to be an uphill battle 00:03:19.780 --> 00:03:22.300 against the refs. And right off Jump Street, 00:03:22.439 --> 00:03:24.960 they're throwing yellow on the carpet. And everyone's 00:03:24.960 --> 00:03:27.240 like, oh, you got to be kidding me. And almost 00:03:27.240 --> 00:03:30.500 instantly, the mood. suddenly changed for all 00:03:30.500 --> 00:03:35.080 you wwe wwf fans taz one of my old school old 00:03:35.080 --> 00:03:38.719 school favorites taz his his uh theme was the 00:03:38.719 --> 00:03:40.759 mood is about to change and that's exactly what 00:03:40.759 --> 00:03:42.900 happened from the very first penalty everyone 00:03:42.900 --> 00:03:46.240 became like psychos at that point it was quite 00:03:46.240 --> 00:03:49.469 a um Interesting atmosphere to be a part of. 00:03:49.550 --> 00:03:52.889 So another thing, not too many Taylor Swift fans 00:03:52.889 --> 00:03:55.610 in the house because there were quite a number 00:03:55.610 --> 00:04:00.650 of inappropriate articles of clothing and various 00:04:00.650 --> 00:04:05.389 things were being said about good old Miss Kelsey. 00:04:05.610 --> 00:04:08.849 So anyway, not a lot of Taylor Swift fans in 00:04:08.849 --> 00:04:11.169 the house. But like I said, you couldn't have 00:04:11.169 --> 00:04:13.569 asked for a better day. So now let's get to this 00:04:13.569 --> 00:04:16.810 awesome, awesome game. What a game. I mean. It 00:04:16.810 --> 00:04:19.089 was quite the freaking game. Let's start with 00:04:19.089 --> 00:04:21.410 the defense. On the defensive side of the ball, 00:04:21.490 --> 00:04:24.850 the defensive line, holy cow, did they show up 00:04:24.850 --> 00:04:27.649 and turn to freaking beast mode. But let's start 00:04:27.649 --> 00:04:30.160 with the negative because right away. Absolutely 00:04:30.160 --> 00:04:33.160 brutal news on Michael Hoyt. Oh, my goodness. 00:04:33.439 --> 00:04:36.600 Just freaking awful. The torn Achilles. I mean, 00:04:36.600 --> 00:04:38.920 here's a guy who literally finally gets back 00:04:38.920 --> 00:04:41.399 from suspension. He plays roughly seven quarters 00:04:41.399 --> 00:04:44.939 of football. And it is clear that he has added 00:04:44.939 --> 00:04:48.939 an instant juice to this team. Instant whatever 00:04:48.939 --> 00:04:52.250 you want to call it. Pep excitement. just energy. 00:04:52.329 --> 00:04:55.750 This dude flies around the field. He gets after 00:04:55.750 --> 00:04:57.930 it. He's so fun to watch moving all over the 00:04:57.930 --> 00:05:00.310 line, up, down, three -point stance, what have 00:05:00.310 --> 00:05:02.649 you. And then the pressure he gets from different 00:05:02.649 --> 00:05:04.790 points on the line, it's just awesome. And so 00:05:04.790 --> 00:05:09.329 clearly an upgrade to our line, to our rotation, 00:05:09.490 --> 00:05:13.129 and to see him from my vantage point, from where 00:05:13.129 --> 00:05:15.970 our seats are, he had... Basically one hopped 00:05:15.970 --> 00:05:18.290 it off the field and he was immediately helped 00:05:18.290 --> 00:05:20.829 by some of the trainers and he was sitting on 00:05:20.829 --> 00:05:22.870 the bench literally right in front of us. And 00:05:22.870 --> 00:05:25.449 it was just kind of devastating to watch. I almost 00:05:25.449 --> 00:05:27.329 got distracted from the game for a few plays 00:05:27.329 --> 00:05:29.649 because I was focusing on him. You know, you 00:05:29.649 --> 00:05:31.769 hear this story about how the cart came out to 00:05:31.769 --> 00:05:33.449 take him back to the locker room and he essentially 00:05:33.449 --> 00:05:37.430 said, no, I'm not going. He knew his Achilles 00:05:37.430 --> 00:05:40.850 was torched, right? And it was player after player 00:05:40.850 --> 00:05:43.689 coming up to him, kneeling down, kind of talking 00:05:43.689 --> 00:05:45.850 to him, putting their hands on him, kind of being 00:05:45.850 --> 00:05:48.709 like offering words of encouragement. And to 00:05:48.709 --> 00:05:51.329 his credit, I kind of watched he like hopped 00:05:51.329 --> 00:05:53.509 down the bench. He hopped another, I don't know, 00:05:53.550 --> 00:05:57.209 30, 40 feet further down the bench and then just 00:05:57.209 --> 00:05:59.110 sat there and watched the rest of the game. And 00:05:59.110 --> 00:06:01.449 people were kind of just continuously coming 00:06:01.449 --> 00:06:03.730 up and offering encouraging words to him. And 00:06:03.730 --> 00:06:06.529 it was just so sad to see this guy was balling 00:06:06.529 --> 00:06:09.730 out for a game and a half. He was clearly going 00:06:09.730 --> 00:06:12.509 to be such an upgrade to our defensive line. 00:06:12.670 --> 00:06:14.730 And it just sucks. It freaking sucks. So you 00:06:14.730 --> 00:06:17.509 add this to the Ed Oliver news. Now, there were 00:06:17.509 --> 00:06:20.509 rumors. There were stories coming out that should 00:06:20.509 --> 00:06:22.930 we make the playoffs, Oliver could potentially 00:06:22.930 --> 00:06:25.250 be back. But, you know, we talked about this 00:06:25.250 --> 00:06:27.410 in the game preview. That's going to be a really 00:06:27.410 --> 00:06:30.649 tough one to deal with, too. So you're talking 00:06:30.649 --> 00:06:32.850 about Ed Oliver, who was playing amazing, and 00:06:32.850 --> 00:06:35.759 then Hoyt, who came back and was playing. literally 00:06:35.759 --> 00:06:39.600 six quarters, seven quarters. And he was, it's 00:06:39.600 --> 00:06:42.399 just a fricking really, really sucks that we 00:06:42.399 --> 00:06:44.519 had to deal with this. But anyway, the rest of 00:06:44.519 --> 00:06:47.759 the D line, they were just getting after it. 00:06:47.819 --> 00:06:50.560 I don't think I've ever seen Patty Mahomes get 00:06:50.560 --> 00:06:53.339 hit so many times and get hit so hard. It was 00:06:53.339 --> 00:06:56.230 hit after hit after hit. I think the number was 00:06:56.230 --> 00:06:59.110 15 hits on him, which is crazy because that's 00:06:59.110 --> 00:07:01.730 his jersey number. So 15 for 15, like, let's 00:07:01.730 --> 00:07:03.689 go, let's get after it. And a couple of these 00:07:03.689 --> 00:07:06.949 shots were absolutely nasty. There was a play 00:07:06.949 --> 00:07:09.509 where Patty's running towards the sidelines. 00:07:09.550 --> 00:07:12.009 He's running to his right and he stops at the 00:07:12.009 --> 00:07:14.110 very last second. If you all remember this, he 00:07:14.110 --> 00:07:16.009 stops, he throws the ball and then he just stands 00:07:16.009 --> 00:07:20.790 there and he gets absolutely blasted by Epinesa. 00:07:20.870 --> 00:07:23.310 And this is also almost right in front of where 00:07:23.310 --> 00:07:27.139 our seat location was. He gets shelled. And it 00:07:27.139 --> 00:07:29.740 was just awesome. Everyone's looking around going, 00:07:29.899 --> 00:07:32.560 oh, the refs are absolutely going to help the 00:07:32.560 --> 00:07:34.879 Chiefs out with this one. But thank goodness 00:07:34.879 --> 00:07:37.420 they didn't throw the laundry on that one. That 00:07:37.420 --> 00:07:39.480 was a sick hit. But Bosa tagged him a couple 00:07:39.480 --> 00:07:42.759 times. The whole team just got after it. It was 00:07:42.759 --> 00:07:45.339 awesome to see. I think Cole Bishop got him once. 00:07:45.540 --> 00:07:48.019 Just crazy. I mean, I've never seen that much 00:07:48.019 --> 00:07:51.959 pressure on him in my life. And the ability to 00:07:51.959 --> 00:07:55.550 get pressure. but not allow him to step up and 00:07:55.550 --> 00:07:57.269 create those running lanes. This is what I talked 00:07:57.269 --> 00:07:58.970 about in the game preview. One of my keys was 00:07:58.970 --> 00:08:01.170 you got to get pressure on him, but you can't 00:08:01.170 --> 00:08:03.269 let him break free because historically throughout 00:08:03.269 --> 00:08:06.410 the season, he's been running wild. I think he 00:08:06.410 --> 00:08:09.430 had one of his lowest rushing totals of the year. 00:08:09.490 --> 00:08:12.410 So we got in his face. We affected his running 00:08:12.410 --> 00:08:16.670 lanes, his passing lanes. He was... extremely 00:08:16.670 --> 00:08:20.350 inefficient. One of the lowest percentage of 00:08:20.350 --> 00:08:23.310 completions for him in his career. It was just 00:08:23.310 --> 00:08:26.529 awesome. Awesome. Shout out to the defensive 00:08:26.529 --> 00:08:28.990 line. They played great. The secondary, is this 00:08:28.990 --> 00:08:31.129 going to go down as the Cole Bishop game? Is 00:08:31.129 --> 00:08:33.629 this the coming out party for Cole Bishop? I 00:08:33.629 --> 00:08:36.350 mean, Cole Bishop balled out. What, seven tackles, 00:08:36.350 --> 00:08:39.230 four pass breakups. I think he almost had an 00:08:39.230 --> 00:08:42.649 interception on the one play. But the key, one 00:08:42.649 --> 00:08:44.490 of the turning points, one of the key plays to 00:08:44.490 --> 00:08:47.250 the game is him just absolutely demolishing Travis 00:08:47.250 --> 00:08:50.230 Kelsey in the end zone. Just getting so physical. 00:08:50.250 --> 00:08:53.070 I got to tell you, watching the defense the last 00:08:53.070 --> 00:08:57.629 two weeks, so against Carolina and against, specifically 00:08:57.629 --> 00:09:00.889 against the Chiefs yesterday. It's night and 00:09:00.889 --> 00:09:04.230 day seeing this team play with aggression and 00:09:04.230 --> 00:09:07.870 passion and speed. The team speed now is off 00:09:07.870 --> 00:09:11.669 the charts. It's insane how much difference a 00:09:11.669 --> 00:09:14.789 few players makes to the whole look and the makeup 00:09:14.789 --> 00:09:17.929 and the flow and the way they all compliment 00:09:17.929 --> 00:09:21.090 each other and just get after it. It is so much 00:09:21.090 --> 00:09:23.850 better to watch a team be aggressive and get 00:09:23.850 --> 00:09:26.070 after it than to sit back and get picked apart. 00:09:26.269 --> 00:09:29.289 Play after play, drive after drive. I can't stand. 00:09:29.549 --> 00:09:32.009 watching a defense do that it is infuriating 00:09:32.009 --> 00:09:35.509 as a fan as a football fan it's just so annoying 00:09:35.509 --> 00:09:38.590 so and and yes we could talk about the fourth 00:09:38.590 --> 00:09:41.730 down in 17 we could talk about the the couple 00:09:41.730 --> 00:09:44.049 third and longs they had and the chiefs managed 00:09:44.049 --> 00:09:46.850 to convert but here's the thing we put pressure 00:09:46.850 --> 00:09:49.190 on them to get them in those down long down and 00:09:49.190 --> 00:09:51.289 distance situations and i would much rather play 00:09:51.289 --> 00:09:54.529 that style and give up yes give up uh occasionally 00:09:54.529 --> 00:09:58.669 a bad a bad first down The fourth and 17 was 00:09:58.669 --> 00:10:02.210 insane. I don't know. I have to go back and check 00:10:02.210 --> 00:10:04.730 that one out with the whole Bosa basically on 00:10:04.730 --> 00:10:06.830 top of him. And then he stops. And then he totally 00:10:06.830 --> 00:10:08.710 got faked out by that. It looked like he was 00:10:08.710 --> 00:10:10.730 thinking that was going to be a screen pass coming 00:10:10.730 --> 00:10:12.769 to his side of the field. And he didn't really 00:10:12.769 --> 00:10:14.970 know. He was kind of in no man's land. But anyway, 00:10:15.090 --> 00:10:18.169 but that fourth down play was just insane to 00:10:18.169 --> 00:10:21.210 pick that up. But I would much rather give up 00:10:21.210 --> 00:10:24.169 a couple of those crazy plays during the game 00:10:24.169 --> 00:10:26.690 than to sit back and get picked apart. play after 00:10:26.690 --> 00:10:31.070 play, drive after drive. It was just such a more... 00:10:31.679 --> 00:10:34.139 pleasurable watching experience to see your team 00:10:34.139 --> 00:10:36.519 get after it. I want them to be aggressive, take 00:10:36.519 --> 00:10:39.720 chances, take risks, and just go hit people and 00:10:39.720 --> 00:10:41.559 show them, hey, we're not going to get pushed 00:10:41.559 --> 00:10:43.580 around today. And that's exactly what happened. 00:10:43.659 --> 00:10:46.940 They managed to shut down the Kansas City running 00:10:46.940 --> 00:10:49.039 game, which really wasn't that effective to begin 00:10:49.039 --> 00:10:51.220 with, but I talked about this in the game preview. 00:10:51.320 --> 00:10:54.740 The team speed concept with Xavier Worthy and 00:10:54.740 --> 00:10:57.419 Raji Rice, having Maxwell Hairston on this team 00:10:57.419 --> 00:11:01.980 negates Worthy. It was insane. The one play where 00:11:01.980 --> 00:11:05.159 they are literally running in lockstep for, what, 00:11:05.220 --> 00:11:08.419 50 yards down the field, and then Mahomes tries 00:11:08.419 --> 00:11:11.690 to hit the bomb. unworthy and Hairston breaks 00:11:11.690 --> 00:11:14.090 up the play and they're going at it the entire 00:11:14.090 --> 00:11:16.830 way. And I'm like, this is so much fun to watch 00:11:16.830 --> 00:11:20.610 a cornerback on our team who can actually match 00:11:20.610 --> 00:11:24.009 up with these speed demons on some of these opposing 00:11:24.009 --> 00:11:28.029 teams and not get torched, not get blown off 00:11:28.029 --> 00:11:31.149 the line, not have to play a 15, 20 yard cushion 00:11:31.149 --> 00:11:34.289 and be able to stay in lockstep with these speed 00:11:34.289 --> 00:11:37.590 demons is just so freaking refreshing as a fan. 00:11:37.730 --> 00:11:40.889 Awesome. Awesome. So, yeah, Cole Bishop, he balled 00:11:40.889 --> 00:11:43.110 out. Maxwell Hairston, his snap count's going 00:11:43.110 --> 00:11:45.309 to keep going up. He's been on the field, what, 00:11:45.389 --> 00:11:48.309 this is two games now? Can we say this is a successful 00:11:48.309 --> 00:11:50.980 first -round pick? I don't know, people might 00:11:50.980 --> 00:11:53.200 start changing their tune that maybe we can draft 00:11:53.200 --> 00:11:55.779 because Cole Bishop looks like he's finally turned 00:11:55.779 --> 00:11:59.139 a corner and everyone loved to hate on Dalton 00:11:59.139 --> 00:12:01.519 Kincaid. Well, guess what? It seems like outside 00:12:01.519 --> 00:12:03.620 of James Cook, the offense runs through Dalton 00:12:03.620 --> 00:12:05.279 Kincaid, but we'll get to the offensive side 00:12:05.279 --> 00:12:07.100 of the ball in a minute. And then if you want 00:12:07.100 --> 00:12:09.220 to think bigger picture, could there have been 00:12:09.220 --> 00:12:11.740 a bigger addition to the defensive side of the 00:12:11.740 --> 00:12:14.059 ball than simply removing Taylor Rapp from the 00:12:14.059 --> 00:12:17.860 defense? I know, I know. It came out he had season 00:12:17.860 --> 00:12:21.480 -ending surgery. last week earlier last week 00:12:21.480 --> 00:12:24.659 and he's on ir and he's done for the year but 00:12:24.659 --> 00:12:28.019 this whole kind of injury that was he may may 00:12:28.019 --> 00:12:30.340 have not been dealing with the whole season but 00:12:30.340 --> 00:12:34.240 something was so off of the defense so he looked 00:12:34.240 --> 00:12:38.059 absolutely lost and Taking him off the field, 00:12:38.240 --> 00:12:40.460 people crapped all over the Jordan Poyer signing, 00:12:40.700 --> 00:12:42.580 and I can't believe we're bringing Poyer back. 00:12:42.759 --> 00:12:46.340 He's 68 years old, and what are we doing? And 00:12:46.340 --> 00:12:48.440 he shouldn't be on the field. Well, I think it 00:12:48.440 --> 00:12:51.480 just kind of calmed everything down, and it did 00:12:51.480 --> 00:12:54.740 a few things. It added almost an in -game coach 00:12:54.740 --> 00:12:57.940 to the secondary, to the safety room, to the 00:12:57.940 --> 00:13:01.419 secondary room, and it kind of brought in a player 00:13:01.419 --> 00:13:05.139 who now could be a mentor to Cole Bishop. Cole 00:13:05.139 --> 00:13:07.350 Bishop is the future of this team. Taylor app 00:13:07.350 --> 00:13:10.009 was kind of a rental. And I think what he may 00:13:10.009 --> 00:13:12.269 have, is this the last year or next year might 00:13:12.269 --> 00:13:13.870 be the last year of his contract? I don't see 00:13:13.870 --> 00:13:16.269 Taylor Rapp being a long -term answer for this 00:13:16.269 --> 00:13:19.549 team at all. If he ever plays another down for 00:13:19.549 --> 00:13:22.149 the team again. Bishop was the answer when we 00:13:22.149 --> 00:13:25.149 drafted him a year ago. He was to be the replacement 00:13:25.149 --> 00:13:27.889 for Jordan Poyer. And Poyer being welcomed back, 00:13:28.149 --> 00:13:30.309 hey, your role is clearly going to be diminished, 00:13:30.429 --> 00:13:32.970 but you have a new job to do. It's to mentor 00:13:32.970 --> 00:13:35.870 him. It's to prepare him. It's to get him game 00:13:35.870 --> 00:13:40.429 ready. be a calming influence to the secondary 00:13:40.429 --> 00:13:42.629 and I think while he's not playing every snap 00:13:42.629 --> 00:13:45.169 and yes he does occasionally get burned from 00:13:45.169 --> 00:13:47.529 play to play from time to time I think he's brought 00:13:47.529 --> 00:13:51.720 such a cohesiveness to the secondary and to the 00:13:51.720 --> 00:13:53.919 defense as a whole. Now, we still have problems. 00:13:54.039 --> 00:13:56.259 I'm still not sold on our linebackers. They're 00:13:56.259 --> 00:13:58.759 kind of still a mess. But as far as the secondary 00:13:58.759 --> 00:14:00.799 goes, they were the worst part of the first, 00:14:00.820 --> 00:14:02.740 what, four or six weeks of the season? It was 00:14:02.740 --> 00:14:04.980 a mess. I mean, how many times do we talk about 00:14:04.980 --> 00:14:07.039 Trey White and Taylor Rapp just getting absolutely 00:14:07.039 --> 00:14:09.620 torched and looking like they didn't know where 00:14:09.620 --> 00:14:12.639 they were? supposed to go so i think this jordan 00:14:12.639 --> 00:14:15.600 hoyer edition really kind of just calms everything 00:14:15.600 --> 00:14:19.220 down let it breathe and now you see the byproduct 00:14:19.220 --> 00:14:22.480 of that you see maxwell hairston back he his 00:14:22.480 --> 00:14:24.720 snap counts getting up he clearly is going to 00:14:24.720 --> 00:14:28.600 be a huge addition to the cornerback room you 00:14:28.600 --> 00:14:30.860 pair him across from christian benford look out 00:14:30.860 --> 00:14:32.879 and then you get cole bishop in the backside 00:14:32.879 --> 00:14:36.059 oh my goodness i i'm so excited for the secondary 00:14:36.059 --> 00:14:38.919 on this team moving forward and that is something 00:14:38.919 --> 00:14:42.100 we weren't talking about um a few weeks ago so 00:14:42.100 --> 00:14:45.789 yeah awesome can't say enough good things obviously 00:14:45.789 --> 00:14:48.250 they made some mistakes so it's not you're never 00:14:48.250 --> 00:14:50.370 going to have a perfect game and I think we got 00:14:50.370 --> 00:14:53.070 to be careful about crapping all over them when 00:14:53.070 --> 00:14:55.210 these ridiculous plays happen because I feel 00:14:55.210 --> 00:14:58.250 like that's so it's such a billsy thing to give 00:14:58.250 --> 00:15:00.309 up that fourth and 17 you have to expect that 00:15:00.309 --> 00:15:03.929 to happen all the time and it's it's it goes 00:15:03.929 --> 00:15:06.330 in line with Sean McDermott calling the defensive 00:15:06.330 --> 00:15:09.330 timeouts it's just like hey at some point We 00:15:09.330 --> 00:15:11.389 kind of got to stop complaining about it and 00:15:11.389 --> 00:15:14.389 just go, well, that's just the way it is. We 00:15:14.389 --> 00:15:16.029 knew this was going to happen at least once a 00:15:16.029 --> 00:15:17.649 game. Just like you know we're going to give 00:15:17.649 --> 00:15:22.590 up these ridiculous... Third and longs or fourth 00:15:22.590 --> 00:15:24.789 and longs or some craziness is going to happen. 00:15:24.950 --> 00:15:27.629 And, oh, yeah, we need to make this field goal 00:15:27.629 --> 00:15:29.769 to put the game out of reach with less than a 00:15:29.769 --> 00:15:32.169 minute to go and bonk off the field goal post. 00:15:32.450 --> 00:15:34.129 It's like, of course it happens. You just have 00:15:34.129 --> 00:15:36.509 to expect these things to happen when you're 00:15:36.509 --> 00:15:40.009 a fan of the Buffalo Bills. But anyway, defense. 00:15:40.720 --> 00:15:43.059 Tip of the cap. Y 'all balled out. It was awesome 00:15:43.059 --> 00:15:45.759 to see. It was awesome to see the Chiefs just 00:15:45.759 --> 00:15:48.419 kind of get bullied all over the field for 60 00:15:48.419 --> 00:15:50.559 minutes. And that's something that doesn't really 00:15:50.559 --> 00:15:53.480 happen. Normally, it's kind of a pound for pound 00:15:53.480 --> 00:15:55.879 thing. We'll just go at it. I mean, these two 00:15:55.879 --> 00:15:58.460 teams, obviously. Pretty close matchup. They 00:15:58.460 --> 00:16:00.419 usually kind of fight back. And there really 00:16:00.419 --> 00:16:02.940 wasn't a lot of fighting back yesterday. They 00:16:02.940 --> 00:16:05.120 didn't put a ton of pressure on Josh. He wasn't 00:16:05.120 --> 00:16:07.019 really scrambling for his life, which we normally 00:16:07.019 --> 00:16:09.220 see historically in these games, specifically 00:16:09.220 --> 00:16:12.379 last year's AFC Championship. But Patty, seeing 00:16:12.379 --> 00:16:15.679 Patty run for his life and just get... crushed 00:16:15.679 --> 00:16:18.899 play after play it was kind of glorious if I 00:16:18.899 --> 00:16:21.240 gotta be honest it was kind of glorious that 00:16:21.240 --> 00:16:23.559 Vanessa oh my gosh I I'm gonna go watch that 00:16:23.559 --> 00:16:25.980 a hundred times but anyway let's move on to the 00:16:25.980 --> 00:16:28.600 offensive side of the ball it was clear that 00:16:28.600 --> 00:16:30.799 the offensive line was going to make the defensive 00:16:30.799 --> 00:16:33.350 line of the Chiefs in for a long day this was 00:16:33.350 --> 00:16:35.850 like a grab your lunch pail sort of day for the 00:16:35.850 --> 00:16:39.350 for the trenches right and while cook i mean 00:16:39.350 --> 00:16:42.289 he he still put up a beast of a day he had 27 00:16:42.289 --> 00:16:46.409 carries 27 carries that's a lot of carries it 00:16:46.409 --> 00:16:48.610 wasn't the gaudy numbers that he put up last 00:16:48.610 --> 00:16:51.700 week but it was a like i said This is a get to 00:16:51.700 --> 00:16:53.899 work blue collar. We're going to move you around 00:16:53.899 --> 00:16:55.679 and you're going to feel it tomorrow. Is there 00:16:55.679 --> 00:16:57.879 anyone on the Chiefs that can wake up today or 00:16:57.879 --> 00:17:00.360 tomorrow and be like, oh, I'm not sore as hell 00:17:00.360 --> 00:17:03.080 from getting my ass kicked up and down the field 00:17:03.080 --> 00:17:04.900 yesterday and just getting manhandled by the 00:17:04.900 --> 00:17:07.559 Buffalo Bills? And I think that's what I am hanging 00:17:07.559 --> 00:17:09.740 my hat on the most from this game. It's just 00:17:09.740 --> 00:17:12.059 a beautiful thing to watch. But yeah, James Cook, 00:17:12.220 --> 00:17:14.759 he balled out just like always offensive line. 00:17:15.440 --> 00:17:16.940 Can we talk about Reggie Gilliam for a minute? 00:17:17.059 --> 00:17:19.980 I feel like this game is kind of a unsung heroes 00:17:19.980 --> 00:17:22.660 game. You got guys like Cole Bishop stepping 00:17:22.660 --> 00:17:25.019 up. You got Reggie Gilliam. If you go back and 00:17:25.019 --> 00:17:26.759 you watch, I got back to the hotel last night 00:17:26.759 --> 00:17:28.920 afterwards and I watched probably most of the 00:17:28.920 --> 00:17:31.980 first half and just seeing the broadcast, NBC 00:17:31.980 --> 00:17:35.619 broadcast, which that's a whole another story. 00:17:36.299 --> 00:17:39.400 My kids are texting me quotes that Tony Romo 00:17:39.400 --> 00:17:42.619 is giving out during the broadcast, and everyone's 00:17:42.619 --> 00:17:44.599 just kind of shaking their head in disgust. So 00:17:44.599 --> 00:17:48.720 I'm kind of glad I wasn't live watching it, so 00:17:48.720 --> 00:17:50.960 now I can kind of go back and laugh at the funny 00:17:50.960 --> 00:17:53.500 things Romo was saying. But at one point, I think 00:17:53.500 --> 00:17:56.259 they highlighted Reggie Gilliam, and he is such 00:17:56.259 --> 00:17:59.440 a key component to this offense and to the success 00:17:59.440 --> 00:18:01.799 of James Cook, in addition to helping the offensive 00:18:01.799 --> 00:18:05.180 line. I mean, you want to talk about a road grading. 00:18:05.640 --> 00:18:08.200 blocking machine he hits that first linebacker 00:18:08.200 --> 00:18:10.519 and just like i said that linebacker or whoever 00:18:10.519 --> 00:18:12.779 he's picking up on that initial block they're 00:18:12.779 --> 00:18:14.819 gonna wake up and feel it like they got hit by 00:18:14.819 --> 00:18:18.759 a freaking truck 15 25 times yesterday and it 00:18:18.759 --> 00:18:21.980 was glorious so reggie gilliam you are a man 00:18:21.980 --> 00:18:25.900 uh you are the man rather and uh can't say enough 00:18:25.900 --> 00:18:28.720 good things about One of the things I talked 00:18:28.720 --> 00:18:30.880 about in the game preview, one of my keys to 00:18:30.880 --> 00:18:33.400 the game, one of my X factors was Dalton Kincaid. 00:18:33.619 --> 00:18:36.380 Can anyone say this was a wasted pick, a wasted 00:18:36.380 --> 00:18:39.220 early draft pick? Because when he is healthy 00:18:39.220 --> 00:18:41.579 and when he is on the field, he is the key to 00:18:41.579 --> 00:18:44.539 the offense. It's not Keon Coleman. It's not 00:18:44.539 --> 00:18:48.160 Elijah Moore. It's not Curtis Samuel. And it's, 00:18:48.160 --> 00:18:50.519 dare I say, it's not even Khalil Shakir. Yes, 00:18:50.660 --> 00:18:53.220 Shakir is good. He is a huge contributor to the 00:18:53.220 --> 00:18:56.299 offense. But this offense is James Cook, Josh 00:18:56.299 --> 00:18:59.299 Allen, and Dalton Kincaid. That is the trifecta. 00:18:59.299 --> 00:19:02.619 And the passing game runs through Kincaid. I 00:19:02.619 --> 00:19:05.720 said he needs to be active early and often, open 00:19:05.720 --> 00:19:08.440 up the middle. And then what happened? When he 00:19:08.440 --> 00:19:11.299 was having success, he was 6 -for -6 for 101 00:19:11.299 --> 00:19:14.519 yards receiving. That is a bomb game. Congrats, 00:19:14.680 --> 00:19:18.019 DK86. I was rocking your jersey yesterday. You 00:19:18.019 --> 00:19:21.039 balled out. That's my boy. Way to go. But anyway. 00:19:21.529 --> 00:19:23.569 I said you throw it, you open the middle of the 00:19:23.569 --> 00:19:26.069 field up with Kincaid, and then all of a sudden 00:19:26.069 --> 00:19:29.890 you now have a little less pressure on your wings. 00:19:29.990 --> 00:19:32.329 And what happened? They didn't have huge games, 00:19:32.390 --> 00:19:35.109 but you saw a couple catches from Keon. You saw 00:19:35.109 --> 00:19:38.769 one to Samuel. You saw one to Moore. Shavers 00:19:38.769 --> 00:19:40.829 had a catch. So I'm not going to go back and 00:19:40.829 --> 00:19:43.049 say everyone eats because I'm done talking about 00:19:43.049 --> 00:19:46.630 that stupid phrase. Yeah, I sincerely believe 00:19:46.630 --> 00:19:49.029 that Dalton Kincaid is the key to this passing 00:19:49.029 --> 00:19:52.430 game. He has to be on the field. He was awesome. 00:19:52.589 --> 00:19:54.769 Just awesome. I think he's great. I think he 00:19:54.769 --> 00:19:58.930 is at least in the top six tight ends, seven 00:19:58.930 --> 00:20:02.829 tight ends, if not way higher in the NFL. And 00:20:02.829 --> 00:20:05.690 he's only going to keep getting better. So great, 00:20:05.750 --> 00:20:08.079 great stuff. And then Josh Allen. Josh Allen, 00:20:08.240 --> 00:20:11.220 what? He had three incompletions. He had an 88 00:20:11.220 --> 00:20:13.680 % completion percentage yesterday, setting a 00:20:13.680 --> 00:20:16.720 new franchise record. I mean, the dude was in 00:20:16.720 --> 00:20:20.319 perfect form yesterday. He had a lot more poise. 00:20:20.319 --> 00:20:22.640 He played with a lot more confidence. He was 00:20:22.640 --> 00:20:24.920 putting zip on a ball. There was a throw early 00:20:24.920 --> 00:20:30.380 to Jackson Hawes. I think he ran like a five 00:20:30.380 --> 00:20:34.119 -yard route right in the middle and turned around, 00:20:34.240 --> 00:20:38.549 and he was wide open. zips this ball to him and 00:20:38.549 --> 00:20:40.849 he almost took his head off and I turned to the 00:20:40.849 --> 00:20:43.150 guy next to me I go well Hawes isn't getting 00:20:43.150 --> 00:20:46.269 a target for the next six weeks but like everyone's 00:20:46.269 --> 00:20:48.670 going Josh calm the heck down that was like a 00:20:48.670 --> 00:20:51.549 little too much gas on that one but that was 00:20:51.549 --> 00:20:54.369 one of his three incompletions and Hawes was 00:20:54.369 --> 00:20:57.009 wide open he just shot that one out of a cannon 00:20:57.009 --> 00:20:59.309 and I'm like okay pace yourself buddy pace yourself 00:20:59.309 --> 00:21:01.569 but I thought he played great it was so nice 00:21:01.569 --> 00:21:06.440 to see a full compliment of all the pieces working 00:21:06.440 --> 00:21:08.559 together at the same time. You know who didn't 00:21:08.559 --> 00:21:10.319 really play great yesterday was special teams. 00:21:10.619 --> 00:21:13.140 Special teams was not that great because it felt 00:21:13.140 --> 00:21:15.119 like every time the Chiefs got the ball, they 00:21:15.119 --> 00:21:18.380 were starting on their 40, if not better. And 00:21:18.380 --> 00:21:20.059 here's another thing I want to talk about. I 00:21:20.059 --> 00:21:21.799 have to go back and watch this, but there was 00:21:21.799 --> 00:21:25.160 some weird spotting of the ball yesterday. The 00:21:25.160 --> 00:21:27.779 Bills had a kickoff. The Chiefs brought it back 00:21:27.779 --> 00:21:30.660 to the 22 or 23 yard line. And next thing you 00:21:30.660 --> 00:21:33.019 know, we come back from a TV timeout and suddenly 00:21:33.019 --> 00:21:36.009 the ball's on like the 35. 40 yard line and everyone's 00:21:36.009 --> 00:21:38.349 like looking around going what what just happened 00:21:38.349 --> 00:21:40.990 why did the ball just move up 15 yards nothing 00:21:40.990 --> 00:21:44.150 was said in the stadium about a penalty there 00:21:44.150 --> 00:21:46.250 was nothing on the field there was no laundry 00:21:46.250 --> 00:21:49.809 down nothing nothing was going on and I feel 00:21:49.809 --> 00:21:51.970 like this happened numerous times during the 00:21:51.970 --> 00:21:53.829 game and everyone's just kind of looking at each 00:21:53.829 --> 00:21:57.859 other like why why is the ball not being spotted 00:21:57.859 --> 00:22:00.119 where the player was down i feel like the refs 00:22:00.119 --> 00:22:02.099 kept moving the ball around there was no consistency 00:22:02.099 --> 00:22:04.779 so i gotta go back i gotta really watch the tape 00:22:04.779 --> 00:22:07.079 and and see what the heck was going on but it 00:22:07.079 --> 00:22:09.599 just seemed like a lot of weird shenanigans was 00:22:09.599 --> 00:22:12.019 happening and you know you never know when you 00:22:12.019 --> 00:22:14.319 play kc and i hate to be like that it's just 00:22:14.319 --> 00:22:17.140 it's what i said like it's always an uphill battle 00:22:17.140 --> 00:22:19.740 the chiefs are a hard enough team but you always 00:22:19.740 --> 00:22:21.990 seem to be you know, with your backs against 00:22:21.990 --> 00:22:23.829 the wall, whether you're at home or on the road 00:22:23.829 --> 00:22:26.509 in Arrowhead, I always feel like it's a Chiefs 00:22:26.509 --> 00:22:28.650 and a refs game. And I didn't want that to be 00:22:28.650 --> 00:22:31.049 the case. There weren't a ton of penalties, which 00:22:31.049 --> 00:22:33.410 was nice. There weren't a ton of penalties. I 00:22:33.410 --> 00:22:36.690 was expecting a lot more flags to be thrown during 00:22:36.690 --> 00:22:39.490 this game. And thank goodness that wasn't the 00:22:39.490 --> 00:22:42.009 case. So they kind of let them play specifically 00:22:42.009 --> 00:22:44.410 the Maxwell Hairston worthy thing. They were 00:22:44.410 --> 00:22:46.210 kind of going at it, you know, hand fighting 00:22:46.210 --> 00:22:48.289 the whole way down 40, 50 yards down the field. 00:22:48.329 --> 00:22:50.900 But you want to talk about a full. Awesome game. 00:22:51.039 --> 00:22:52.759 I know a lot of people were kind of mad at Joe 00:22:52.759 --> 00:22:55.880 Brady for some of the calls, but I think all 00:22:55.880 --> 00:22:58.299 in all, there's not a lot to complain about. 00:22:58.440 --> 00:23:02.079 I think he called a very well -rounded, solid 00:23:02.079 --> 00:23:04.440 game, and I don't really have too many complaints. 00:23:04.700 --> 00:23:07.319 We were all kind of joking about the screen passes 00:23:07.319 --> 00:23:10.079 to Shakir, but this is the first time in, what, 00:23:10.099 --> 00:23:13.259 forever this year that we had more than four 00:23:13.259 --> 00:23:17.259 passes further than 20 yards? I mean, we had 00:23:17.259 --> 00:23:19.440 one that went... for 40 plus, one that went for 00:23:19.440 --> 00:23:21.960 30 plus, two that went for 20 plus, and one that 00:23:21.960 --> 00:23:25.240 went for another 15 to 18 yards. So we were throwing 00:23:25.240 --> 00:23:28.099 the ball down the field and Josh was pinpoint 00:23:28.099 --> 00:23:31.140 accurate all game long and it was awesome to 00:23:31.140 --> 00:23:34.519 see. So yeah, great. I'm excited to see what 00:23:34.519 --> 00:23:36.420 the national narrative is. I was trying to listen 00:23:36.420 --> 00:23:38.279 to some national shows. It just wouldn't come 00:23:38.279 --> 00:23:40.200 through as I'm driving six hours home today, 00:23:40.279 --> 00:23:43.579 but I had a great time. It was awesome. Now we 00:23:43.579 --> 00:23:46.420 kind of get to go down to Miami and hopefully 00:23:46.420 --> 00:23:48.450 get another big dub. down there I know they're 00:23:48.450 --> 00:23:52.190 selling off the entire ship right now they fire 00:23:52.190 --> 00:23:54.349 their general manager and it's so funny as soon 00:23:54.349 --> 00:23:55.970 as they fire their general manager now they're 00:23:55.970 --> 00:23:57.990 making all these trades and selling off half 00:23:57.990 --> 00:24:00.410 their team already so I'm not sure what's going 00:24:00.410 --> 00:24:02.589 to be left when we get down there to take on 00:24:02.589 --> 00:24:05.450 the Dolphins come Sunday afternoon but we shall 00:24:05.450 --> 00:24:08.490 see what happens hopefully that'll just be another 00:24:08.490 --> 00:24:11.599 dub on the schedule and uh and then we got a 00:24:11.599 --> 00:24:14.400 big game back in Orchard Park against Tampa that's 00:24:14.400 --> 00:24:16.400 going to be a big one Tampa plays New England 00:24:16.400 --> 00:24:18.779 this week and I think that's the marquee AFC 00:24:18.779 --> 00:24:21.920 well not I guess it's a NFC AFC matchup but that's 00:24:21.920 --> 00:24:23.940 one of the big games on the schedule this week 00:24:23.940 --> 00:24:27.480 and I I'm super excited to see if Tampa Bay can 00:24:27.480 --> 00:24:30.160 can hand the Patriots another loss because we 00:24:30.160 --> 00:24:32.079 need to get back in this one thing I do want 00:24:32.079 --> 00:24:35.019 to talk about and this is this was super frustrating 00:24:35.019 --> 00:24:38.390 I think is a word so my buddy and I were We get 00:24:38.390 --> 00:24:40.730 back to the car and we're sitting in traffic 00:24:40.730 --> 00:24:42.589 just like everybody else. So we turn on the local 00:24:42.589 --> 00:24:46.809 radio stations and they have their sports talk 00:24:46.809 --> 00:24:49.769 show hosts and it's the afternoon guys from WGR 00:24:49.769 --> 00:24:52.990 and they're taking calls and I'm just listening 00:24:52.990 --> 00:24:56.089 to them and they are just. miserable miserable 00:24:56.089 --> 00:24:59.930 and it's just like oh we won but what what do 00:24:59.930 --> 00:25:02.569 we really take from this game and it doesn't 00:25:02.569 --> 00:25:04.890 much matter because you know what happens in 00:25:04.890 --> 00:25:07.990 the playoffs and uh we still really haven't answered 00:25:07.990 --> 00:25:10.269 any of the questions and i'm just i'm talking 00:25:10.269 --> 00:25:12.650 to my buddy and i'm like i don't understand i 00:25:12.650 --> 00:25:15.049 don't understand had we lost this game everyone 00:25:15.049 --> 00:25:17.950 would be complaining and moaning and crying about 00:25:17.950 --> 00:25:20.630 it we actually win it's a great game we beat 00:25:20.630 --> 00:25:24.750 a team that was that was flying up the power 00:25:24.750 --> 00:25:27.190 rankings. You guys know I do power ranking reviews 00:25:27.190 --> 00:25:31.410 before each game preview. The Chiefs were flying 00:25:31.410 --> 00:25:33.650 up the charts. They were considered to be one 00:25:33.650 --> 00:25:35.829 of the Super Bowl favorites. They come in and 00:25:35.829 --> 00:25:38.609 we... Give them a beat down. And then it's, oh, 00:25:38.609 --> 00:25:40.150 I don't know what we're supposed to be so happy 00:25:40.150 --> 00:25:41.890 about. And I'm just listening to this. Like, 00:25:41.950 --> 00:25:45.210 are you all miserable human beings? Yes, we should 00:25:45.210 --> 00:25:47.710 celebrate this game. I am not worried about the 00:25:47.710 --> 00:25:50.269 playoffs. Yes, I understand that the Chiefs have 00:25:50.269 --> 00:25:52.470 our number in the playoffs. But you still have 00:25:52.470 --> 00:25:55.349 to win the regular season games just to make 00:25:55.349 --> 00:25:57.450 it to the playoffs. And we are in a division 00:25:57.450 --> 00:26:00.029 fight. We are in a division fight. And I want 00:26:00.029 --> 00:26:02.490 to stay in lockstep with the Patriots until it 00:26:02.490 --> 00:26:04.849 comes time for us to go into New England and 00:26:04.849 --> 00:26:08.009 beat their... ass and take back the lead for 00:26:08.009 --> 00:26:10.170 the division. So this nonsense that these games 00:26:10.170 --> 00:26:12.009 don't matter and that we shouldn't celebrate 00:26:12.009 --> 00:26:14.269 them and we shouldn't be happy. Why do we watch 00:26:14.269 --> 00:26:17.210 football if we can't celebrate the wins? Whether 00:26:17.210 --> 00:26:19.769 it's 40 -9 against the Panthers or whether it's 00:26:19.769 --> 00:26:22.880 28 -21 against Patty and the Chiefs. I want to 00:26:22.880 --> 00:26:25.000 celebrate the wins because guess what? Do you 00:26:25.000 --> 00:26:27.460 all remember 17 years? We didn't have too many 00:26:27.460 --> 00:26:29.819 wins to celebrate. We didn't have too much stuff 00:26:29.819 --> 00:26:32.519 to look forward to. Yes, I know that the playoffs 00:26:32.519 --> 00:26:34.480 versus the Chiefs is a totally different story. 00:26:34.619 --> 00:26:36.859 Can I worry about that when it gets to January? 00:26:37.579 --> 00:26:40.619 Please. It is November 2nd when this game is 00:26:40.619 --> 00:26:42.619 happening. I have two months until the playoffs. 00:26:42.779 --> 00:26:46.240 Let me enjoy a victory over the Chiefs. Let me 00:26:46.240 --> 00:26:48.779 give them one more L because if they get two 00:26:48.779 --> 00:26:51.140 or three more L's, they might not make the playoffs. 00:26:51.299 --> 00:26:54.140 And I would gladly take part in that. So this 00:26:54.140 --> 00:26:56.619 nonsense that we can't celebrate and enjoy these 00:26:56.619 --> 00:26:59.559 Bills victories is just ludicrous to me. I don't 00:26:59.559 --> 00:27:02.400 get that mentality. Have we gotten so far gone 00:27:02.400 --> 00:27:05.279 as fans that we can't enjoy what it means to 00:27:05.279 --> 00:27:07.859 actually be a fan of our team? And to celebrate 00:27:07.859 --> 00:27:12.019 the players and the efforts and the victories 00:27:12.019 --> 00:27:14.519 when they actually happen against one of our 00:27:14.519 --> 00:27:17.119 biggest rivals. Oh, congrats, you won in the 00:27:17.119 --> 00:27:19.079 regular season. What does this mean for the postseason? 00:27:19.200 --> 00:27:21.920 Well, right now, it means that it puts the Chiefs 00:27:21.920 --> 00:27:24.759 in a lot worse spot trying to get to the postseason. 00:27:24.920 --> 00:27:26.980 So hell yeah, I'm going to be excited about beating 00:27:26.980 --> 00:27:29.819 them because maybe Denver can give them an L. 00:27:30.559 --> 00:27:33.819 Maybe the Colts can give them an L. I know they 00:27:33.819 --> 00:27:36.200 have the Ravens coming up, if I'm not mistaken. 00:27:36.809 --> 00:27:39.329 The Ravens sure as hell can give them an L. So 00:27:39.329 --> 00:27:42.329 you talk about adding a couple more L's to the 00:27:42.329 --> 00:27:44.789 Chiefs ledger, and maybe they're not even making 00:27:44.789 --> 00:27:47.029 the playoffs. So yeah, I'm going to celebrate. 00:27:47.170 --> 00:27:49.630 I just don't get this mentality. And I never 00:27:49.630 --> 00:27:51.869 want to be there as a fan to say that a win and 00:27:51.869 --> 00:27:54.049 a loss doesn't matter. Because that's why we 00:27:54.049 --> 00:27:56.609 go through the season. Now you want to tell me 00:27:56.609 --> 00:28:00.710 it's Major League Baseball. It's 162 games. Okay, 00:28:00.789 --> 00:28:02.730 yeah, maybe one loss doesn't matter. But now 00:28:02.730 --> 00:28:04.650 I got Drake May and the Patriots and everyone's 00:28:04.650 --> 00:28:07.569 giving them the... east title already and and 00:28:07.569 --> 00:28:09.410 you're telling me i can't celebrate this when 00:28:09.410 --> 00:28:11.710 i'm trying to stay in line with them i don't 00:28:11.710 --> 00:28:14.170 know man why are we why are we so miserable enjoy 00:28:14.170 --> 00:28:16.309 it this was awesome this was an awesome day it 00:28:16.309 --> 00:28:19.829 was an awesome game from two great teams and 00:28:19.829 --> 00:28:22.910 the bills came out and showed out and they stuck 00:28:22.910 --> 00:28:25.710 it to them and it was awesome and some of these 00:28:25.710 --> 00:28:28.369 young players are super exciting and it's super 00:28:28.369 --> 00:28:32.880 like It's energetic. It's like you are so jazzed 00:28:32.880 --> 00:28:35.859 to see some of these young players on your team. 00:28:36.240 --> 00:28:39.059 I am going to celebrate that. I choose to celebrate 00:28:39.059 --> 00:28:41.819 that. Anyway, I got to get off the soapbox because 00:28:41.819 --> 00:28:43.700 I could talk about the negativity surrounding 00:28:43.700 --> 00:28:46.619 the team and the franchise. I don't know how 00:28:46.619 --> 00:28:48.039 some of these people have their jobs anymore. 00:28:48.240 --> 00:28:51.299 Hey, but if you want to hire your boy TB, I would 00:28:51.299 --> 00:28:54.359 gladly talk about this team 24 hours a day. No 00:28:54.359 --> 00:28:57.039 problem. I would love to quit my day job and 00:28:57.039 --> 00:29:00.099 do this full time. But anyway, That's all I'm 00:29:00.099 --> 00:29:02.619 going to talk about for the bills this week. 00:29:02.700 --> 00:29:05.220 We will get a, what is it going to be a week 00:29:05.220 --> 00:29:08.000 10 preview about the dolphins, a week 10 preview 00:29:08.000 --> 00:29:10.359 against the dolphins. We'll get that to you as 00:29:10.359 --> 00:29:13.000 we get further towards the weekend and Sunday, 00:29:13.059 --> 00:29:15.660 but we're going to wrap up that portion. Let's 00:29:15.660 --> 00:29:18.779 turn our attention to the squared circle wrestling 00:29:18.779 --> 00:29:21.940 marks. How the heck are we feeling? We are coming 00:29:21.940 --> 00:29:24.539 off Saturday night's main event. I can't say 00:29:24.539 --> 00:29:28.200 that this was a PLE. per se it was just a show 00:29:28.200 --> 00:29:30.619 how do i want to say this it was an interesting 00:29:30.619 --> 00:29:34.539 show it was nice that it started at seven it 00:29:34.539 --> 00:29:37.119 ran two hours and i was in bed shortly after 00:29:37.119 --> 00:29:39.980 nine to get some sleep to get up and hit the 00:29:39.980 --> 00:29:42.039 road to get to orchard park a couple things number 00:29:42.039 --> 00:29:44.609 one this stage the stage looked pretty cool You 00:29:44.609 --> 00:29:46.670 know how I love to complain about the sets and 00:29:46.670 --> 00:29:48.650 whatnot and the stage. I thought the stage for 00:29:48.650 --> 00:29:50.369 Saturday night's main event, it looked pretty 00:29:50.369 --> 00:29:52.509 good. It looked better than some of the recent 00:29:52.509 --> 00:29:55.529 PLEs. So there was that. Another thing, it was 00:29:55.529 --> 00:29:57.990 totally refreshing to not have advertisements 00:29:57.990 --> 00:30:00.549 plastered all over the ring, all over the ring 00:30:00.549 --> 00:30:03.289 post, all over the tables, all over everything. 00:30:03.410 --> 00:30:07.150 It was nice to see just a straight ring with 00:30:07.150 --> 00:30:09.230 the old red, white, blue. And it was nice to 00:30:09.230 --> 00:30:12.250 have that be rocking for the whole show. So props 00:30:12.250 --> 00:30:14.809 to that. Downside. the green shirt guy's back 00:30:14.809 --> 00:30:17.950 and he was not only front row but he was front 00:30:17.950 --> 00:30:20.329 center and you had to stare at his ugly mug the 00:30:20.329 --> 00:30:23.450 whole show so i don't know i don't want to talk 00:30:23.450 --> 00:30:25.630 about it it's just ridiculous i gotta look at 00:30:25.630 --> 00:30:28.109 this guy every freaking show but i digress so 00:30:28.539 --> 00:30:30.700 This was a four -match card. There was a lot 00:30:30.700 --> 00:30:33.359 of filler with not necessarily commercials, but 00:30:33.359 --> 00:30:36.519 a lot of just nonsense and junk and ads kind 00:30:36.519 --> 00:30:39.220 of mixed in. But your first match was Cody versus 00:30:39.220 --> 00:30:41.579 Drew. I wasn't excited about this when I talked 00:30:41.579 --> 00:30:43.380 about it in the preview. This match was just 00:30:43.380 --> 00:30:46.660 weird. I don't really know. I don't think it 00:30:46.660 --> 00:30:49.619 was very good. I hate to say it. And you all 00:30:49.619 --> 00:30:51.519 kind of know how I feel and where I stand about 00:30:51.519 --> 00:30:53.440 Cody Rhodes at this time. He's kind of just whatever 00:30:53.440 --> 00:30:56.589 at this point. Nothing. I don't get excited to 00:30:56.589 --> 00:30:58.589 watch him wrestle. I don't think he's very good, 00:30:58.690 --> 00:31:00.950 frankly. I mean, he's fine. He's whatever. I 00:31:00.950 --> 00:31:02.809 like his entrance. It's cool. I know the kids 00:31:02.809 --> 00:31:04.529 love him. He sells a lot of merch and he's the 00:31:04.529 --> 00:31:06.630 face of the company and this, that, and the other. 00:31:06.710 --> 00:31:10.130 But he just really, it's just not working for 00:31:10.130 --> 00:31:13.210 me. I don't know. I think what he needs, honestly, 00:31:13.309 --> 00:31:16.029 is to turn heel and just be a bad guy and start 00:31:16.029 --> 00:31:19.220 wrecking shop and just being. a terrible human 00:31:19.220 --> 00:31:22.059 being so i don't know i don't know i it's boring 00:31:22.059 --> 00:31:25.119 and i'm tired of it of any already but i i said 00:31:25.119 --> 00:31:27.519 before when i previewed this show i knew drew 00:31:27.519 --> 00:31:29.660 had no shot and that's exactly what this was 00:31:29.660 --> 00:31:32.420 it was weird because there was this one portion 00:31:32.420 --> 00:31:35.279 of the match where the ref is just hovering really 00:31:35.279 --> 00:31:37.940 close to them and you know when you watch a lot 00:31:37.940 --> 00:31:39.799 of wrestling you know when something doesn't 00:31:39.799 --> 00:31:42.019 look right and the ref was like all up in their 00:31:42.019 --> 00:31:43.799 space and all of a sudden i'm like oh this is 00:31:44.450 --> 00:31:47.329 what is going on i'm like i'm screaming at the 00:31:47.329 --> 00:31:49.170 tv i'm like ref get the hell out of the way and 00:31:49.170 --> 00:31:52.509 of course two seconds later drew and cody bump 00:31:52.509 --> 00:31:55.670 into him it's like the most innocuous bump you 00:31:55.670 --> 00:31:57.710 could ever meet and then of course it's like 00:31:57.710 --> 00:32:01.259 he got shot out of a cannon and he goes falling 00:32:01.259 --> 00:32:04.279 over to his doom and now he's like unconscious 00:32:04.279 --> 00:32:07.440 in a corner and i'm just like oh here we go so 00:32:07.440 --> 00:32:10.000 then the belt is brought in and drew goes to 00:32:10.000 --> 00:32:13.579 hit him and misses and whatnot anyway cody hits 00:32:13.579 --> 00:32:16.740 a ddt on drew on top of the belt that's lying 00:32:16.740 --> 00:32:19.359 on top of the mat and of course as soon as that 00:32:19.359 --> 00:32:22.839 works the ref comes back to life and cody gets 00:32:22.839 --> 00:32:25.380 the one two three and it was like whatever this 00:32:25.380 --> 00:32:28.440 is stupid i knew drew had no shot and it's just 00:32:28.440 --> 00:32:30.500 like always you put him in marquee mat after 00:32:30.500 --> 00:32:33.559 marquee match title match after title match big 00:32:33.559 --> 00:32:35.359 feud after big feud and he never wins anything 00:32:35.359 --> 00:32:37.960 so at some point people are just going to stop 00:32:37.960 --> 00:32:39.579 caring they're not going to care what he has 00:32:39.579 --> 00:32:42.160 to say and this whole idea that he keeps getting 00:32:42.160 --> 00:32:44.839 screwed over and over again while true you have 00:32:44.839 --> 00:32:46.880 to pay it off at some point or else it's just 00:32:46.880 --> 00:32:49.519 pointless and dumb so right off the bat i thought 00:32:49.519 --> 00:32:52.859 this was a Stupid match. And I was like, oh, 00:32:52.940 --> 00:32:55.279 please don't let this set the stage for what's 00:32:55.279 --> 00:32:57.559 to come. But thank God it didn't because match 00:32:57.559 --> 00:32:59.720 two, you had champion Tiffany Stratton versus 00:32:59.720 --> 00:33:03.099 Jade Cargill for the women's championship. And 00:33:03.099 --> 00:33:06.140 they were kind of forecasting this prior to the 00:33:06.140 --> 00:33:08.319 match. They interviewed her before and it was. 00:33:09.099 --> 00:33:11.559 I guess the theme, the storyline was Tiffany 00:33:11.559 --> 00:33:14.259 was nursing a sore knee and she had this injury 00:33:14.259 --> 00:33:16.480 she was dealing with. Well, guess what? She came 00:33:16.480 --> 00:33:19.259 out, this match gets started and Jade Cargill, 00:33:19.319 --> 00:33:21.779 it was like Brock Lesnar, John Cena. Jade Cargill 00:33:21.779 --> 00:33:24.960 whooped the crap out of her and just issued a 00:33:24.960 --> 00:33:27.599 total beat down to the champion, Tiffany Stratton. 00:33:28.240 --> 00:33:31.960 I have been critical of Jade's matches as of 00:33:31.960 --> 00:33:33.819 late. I have said she needed to change things 00:33:33.819 --> 00:33:37.269 up because her style and what... What she was 00:33:37.269 --> 00:33:39.930 doing wasn't working. I have always said she 00:33:39.930 --> 00:33:41.470 looked like a million bucks, but something was 00:33:41.470 --> 00:33:43.730 just not right when she got in the ring and the 00:33:43.730 --> 00:33:45.970 actual matches started. This was totally different. 00:33:46.089 --> 00:33:48.369 She changed up the pacing. She changed up the 00:33:48.369 --> 00:33:50.430 way she wrestled as far as this was straight. 00:33:50.859 --> 00:33:53.640 power ass kicking stuff and she she beat the 00:33:53.640 --> 00:33:56.299 brakes off of Tiffany for probably six seven 00:33:56.299 --> 00:33:58.539 minutes it was a very short match but it was 00:33:58.539 --> 00:34:02.099 a slow methodical ass whooping and this is what 00:34:02.099 --> 00:34:04.720 Jade needs moving forward and she beat her and 00:34:04.720 --> 00:34:06.900 she got the pin and she took the belt and now 00:34:06.900 --> 00:34:08.760 you have a new champion I thought this was great 00:34:08.760 --> 00:34:10.559 this was exactly what was needed you get the 00:34:10.559 --> 00:34:12.659 belt off Tiffany who I said was kind of growing 00:34:12.659 --> 00:34:16.619 stale and Jade Is now your heel champion moving 00:34:16.619 --> 00:34:18.980 forward. And I think they need to establish her 00:34:18.980 --> 00:34:22.719 as a dominating. heel female women's champion 00:34:22.719 --> 00:34:26.340 and just let her wreck shop over whoever wants 00:34:26.340 --> 00:34:28.360 to step up and challenge just let her continue 00:34:28.360 --> 00:34:31.159 to do this because she can do it if this is the 00:34:31.159 --> 00:34:33.079 way you are going to book her and these are the 00:34:33.079 --> 00:34:35.019 matches you're going to put her in i think it's 00:34:35.019 --> 00:34:37.800 great i think it's great so well done that was 00:34:37.800 --> 00:34:39.780 that was a good match third match this was a 00:34:39.780 --> 00:34:42.079 triple threat match between penta rusev and dirty 00:34:42.079 --> 00:34:44.579 tom for the ic belt i really enjoyed this match 00:34:44.579 --> 00:34:46.710 this was great Different styles. You had three 00:34:46.710 --> 00:34:48.750 different styles. Rusev's obviously your slow, 00:34:48.849 --> 00:34:51.210 methodical guy, but he can still kind of explode 00:34:51.210 --> 00:34:54.650 and give you these explosive, powerful, quick 00:34:54.650 --> 00:34:57.289 moveset. I've always liked Rusev. I think he 00:34:57.289 --> 00:34:59.989 does good stuff. but he's there to put over these 00:34:59.989 --> 00:35:02.510 other guys, and it's clear. Penta's kind of your 00:35:02.510 --> 00:35:06.590 fan favorite and does the crazy moves. Some of 00:35:06.590 --> 00:35:09.250 the stuff he does, it's just amazing. I like 00:35:09.250 --> 00:35:11.710 watching him wrestle, but honestly, can we cut 00:35:11.710 --> 00:35:14.650 down on the entrance for Penta? It needs to be, 00:35:14.829 --> 00:35:16.750 and I have a problem with some of these entrances 00:35:16.750 --> 00:35:20.250 in general. They're way, way too freaking long. 00:35:20.730 --> 00:35:22.869 Penta's, whatever he's doing, the crypt walk 00:35:22.869 --> 00:35:25.099 down the aisle, like just. Get to the freaking 00:35:25.099 --> 00:35:27.480 ring. Not everyone needs to have an Undertaker 00:35:27.480 --> 00:35:30.300 -length entrance before the match. And we've 00:35:30.300 --> 00:35:32.260 gotten to the point now where it's 20 minutes 00:35:32.260 --> 00:35:37.119 of pre -match shenanigans and 10 minutes of an 00:35:37.119 --> 00:35:39.159 actual match. Can we flip this around? Can we 00:35:39.159 --> 00:35:41.579 get to the ring and get this thing started? Because 00:35:41.579 --> 00:35:44.539 it's getting absolutely ridiculous. But all in 00:35:44.539 --> 00:35:46.239 all, very different styles. I think that worked 00:35:46.239 --> 00:35:49.019 really well together. The whole thing, Dom ringing 00:35:49.019 --> 00:35:52.079 the bell to try to throw everybody off. I love 00:35:52.079 --> 00:35:55.219 the way... He's being this slimy dirtbag of a 00:35:55.219 --> 00:35:57.880 champion and trying to sneak his way in and out 00:35:57.880 --> 00:36:01.699 of these matches. I love it. It's great stuff. 00:36:01.980 --> 00:36:04.179 Dom obviously retains, and he's still your IC 00:36:04.179 --> 00:36:05.960 champion, which I think is the right call, but 00:36:05.960 --> 00:36:08.800 great work by all. That was a great match. Then 00:36:08.800 --> 00:36:10.920 they made a huge announcement, and this is going 00:36:10.920 --> 00:36:12.980 to be interesting moving forward. I think this 00:36:12.980 --> 00:36:16.139 is going to fuel some of your Monday and Friday 00:36:16.139 --> 00:36:21.449 SmackDown and Raw TV. They announced the John 00:36:21.449 --> 00:36:23.550 Cena The Time Is Now tournament. This is going 00:36:23.550 --> 00:36:25.869 to be 16 wrestlers from across Raw, SmackDown, 00:36:25.969 --> 00:36:28.289 NXT. And he actually said in the promo to this, 00:36:28.409 --> 00:36:31.449 maybe elsewhere are going to participate in this 00:36:31.449 --> 00:36:34.469 16 -man tournament. And the winner is going to 00:36:34.469 --> 00:36:37.489 face him in his final match on Saturday night's 00:36:37.489 --> 00:36:39.889 main event in Washington, D .C. I like it. I 00:36:39.889 --> 00:36:43.039 think it's cool. I think it's different. I am 00:36:43.039 --> 00:36:45.460 all for when they try to do something completely 00:36:45.460 --> 00:36:47.980 different because listen, I've said recently 00:36:47.980 --> 00:36:50.760 things have gotten a little stale and I think 00:36:50.760 --> 00:36:52.460 it's great when you do stuff like this, kind 00:36:52.460 --> 00:36:54.679 of get out of your comfort zone, allow some of 00:36:54.679 --> 00:36:57.860 these young up and comers to really showcase 00:36:57.860 --> 00:37:00.199 what they can do. Look, we know he's going to 00:37:00.199 --> 00:37:03.820 put over somebody who is on the rise in the company 00:37:03.820 --> 00:37:05.980 and it's just going to be really interesting 00:37:05.980 --> 00:37:09.710 to see who he chooses. to give that push to on 00:37:09.710 --> 00:37:11.570 his way out the door. And then finally, finally, 00:37:11.730 --> 00:37:14.050 the main event of Saturday night's main event, 00:37:14.110 --> 00:37:17.349 we had Jey Uso versus CM Punk for the recently 00:37:17.349 --> 00:37:21.750 vacated title, the championship that Seth Rollins 00:37:21.750 --> 00:37:24.230 had to give up from the vision because of his 00:37:24.230 --> 00:37:26.610 injury. Obviously, he had shoulder, I think it 00:37:26.610 --> 00:37:29.550 was shoulder surgery. And they haven't said anything 00:37:29.550 --> 00:37:31.510 as far as how long he's going to be out. But 00:37:31.510 --> 00:37:33.869 I'm going to start with this. The matches, the 00:37:33.869 --> 00:37:37.010 entrance to the match, this Jey Uso thing. I 00:37:37.010 --> 00:37:40.090 know the kids love it, but I am so sick and tired 00:37:40.090 --> 00:37:42.329 of it where he takes forever. It's just like 00:37:42.329 --> 00:37:44.150 the Penta thing, except this is three times as 00:37:44.150 --> 00:37:46.630 long. He takes forever to get to the ring. Yes, 00:37:46.670 --> 00:37:48.250 everyone loves to stand there and wave their 00:37:48.250 --> 00:37:50.849 arms around and yeet for 15 minutes. But then 00:37:50.849 --> 00:37:53.550 when he does the, oh, you want me to run it back? 00:37:53.690 --> 00:37:55.670 Oh, let's run it back. And then the music kicks 00:37:55.670 --> 00:37:56.969 and we got to do the whole thing over. I'm just 00:37:56.969 --> 00:37:58.949 like, oh my God, just ring the bell already. 00:37:59.070 --> 00:38:01.429 It's just ridiculous. It's too long. Let's go. 00:38:01.570 --> 00:38:06.510 But anyway, this match. Wow. Wow. You could tell 00:38:06.510 --> 00:38:09.829 that CM Punk was getting frustrated with Jay. 00:38:10.289 --> 00:38:13.610 I don't know. Jay looked way off. He looked like 00:38:13.610 --> 00:38:15.630 he was out of his element. And you could tell 00:38:15.630 --> 00:38:17.769 that CM Punk was trying to carry him this whole 00:38:17.769 --> 00:38:20.429 match. And it just looked bad. Some of the stuff 00:38:20.429 --> 00:38:22.550 Jay Uso does. And I had this problem when he 00:38:22.550 --> 00:38:24.150 was champion. I'm not one of these people that's 00:38:24.150 --> 00:38:26.309 just going to dog on him and say he's worthless. 00:38:26.510 --> 00:38:30.409 He is an absolute fantastic tag team wrestler. 00:38:31.030 --> 00:38:33.110 The Usos are one of the greatest tag teams of 00:38:33.110 --> 00:38:37.650 all time. Him as a solo show and a main event 00:38:37.650 --> 00:38:40.190 figure, it's just not working for me. And that's 00:38:40.190 --> 00:38:42.150 fine. If y 'all love him, great. But I just don't 00:38:42.150 --> 00:38:44.449 think his moveset is very effective. I just don't 00:38:44.449 --> 00:38:47.409 think he's a very clean wrestler. And some of 00:38:47.409 --> 00:38:49.550 the stuff he does looks terrible. He needs to 00:38:49.550 --> 00:38:52.530 never do two things. He needs to never do a spear 00:38:52.530 --> 00:38:55.670 again because the spear is god awful. And his 00:38:55.670 --> 00:38:57.690 sleeper hold, I've talked about this in the Gunther 00:38:57.690 --> 00:39:01.090 match when he made Gunther tap out at WrestleMania. 00:39:02.280 --> 00:39:04.199 Terrible looking. It's like he can't tap out 00:39:04.199 --> 00:39:06.360 a five -year -old child. So how is he going to 00:39:06.360 --> 00:39:08.880 tap out CM Punk or Gunther? He can't lock it 00:39:08.880 --> 00:39:10.699 in. It doesn't look right. Just teach him how 00:39:10.699 --> 00:39:13.199 to do a sleeper hold for God's sakes. This match 00:39:13.199 --> 00:39:15.699 was not good. It was just not good. And it was 00:39:15.699 --> 00:39:18.039 clear that CM Punk was getting frustrated. When 00:39:18.039 --> 00:39:19.760 they get to the five -minute mark with about 00:39:19.760 --> 00:39:22.340 three, four, five minutes left, it did pick up. 00:39:22.360 --> 00:39:24.059 I will give them that. The whole end of this 00:39:24.059 --> 00:39:27.610 match was kind of fire. Before that, it was just 00:39:27.610 --> 00:39:30.809 sloppy. It was off and it was just weird. But 00:39:30.809 --> 00:39:34.409 you got a decisive, clear -cut winner. CM Punk 00:39:34.409 --> 00:39:36.409 wins the match. There was no shenanigans. There 00:39:36.409 --> 00:39:38.489 was no run -ins from Braun and Braun. The vision 00:39:38.489 --> 00:39:40.550 stayed back there. There was no Paul Heyman. 00:39:40.630 --> 00:39:43.710 There was no Jimmy. There was no LA La Knight. 00:39:43.929 --> 00:39:46.269 There was nothing. So you had a clear -cut winner. 00:39:46.469 --> 00:39:49.190 CM Punk is now your new champion. And that's 00:39:49.190 --> 00:39:51.489 it. He is your new world heavyweight champion. 00:39:51.670 --> 00:39:54.469 And so we shall see what this means moving forward, 00:39:54.610 --> 00:39:57.130 whether he holds it for a while or whether he's 00:39:57.130 --> 00:39:59.449 kind of just a placeholder until, I don't know, 00:39:59.449 --> 00:40:01.630 until Rollins gets back or until something else 00:40:01.630 --> 00:40:04.289 happens. There's kind of a lot going on right 00:40:04.289 --> 00:40:06.130 now, and I'm not really sure which way this is 00:40:06.130 --> 00:40:07.670 going to go. But the whole thing was kind of 00:40:07.670 --> 00:40:09.730 wrapped up in two hours. It was fine. It was 00:40:09.730 --> 00:40:11.769 fine. I really liked the Cargill match and the 00:40:11.769 --> 00:40:14.210 triple draft match. But out of four turnbuckles, 00:40:14.369 --> 00:40:16.989 I will give Saturday night's main event a two 00:40:16.989 --> 00:40:19.880 out of four. So it was whatever, nothing to write 00:40:19.880 --> 00:40:23.199 home about. I'm definitely interested to see 00:40:23.199 --> 00:40:26.780 where they go with Monday Night Raw and Friday 00:40:26.780 --> 00:40:29.679 Night Smackdown and how NXT and possibly other 00:40:29.679 --> 00:40:31.960 superstars not in the company are going to be 00:40:31.960 --> 00:40:34.679 added into this tournament. I'm super interested 00:40:34.679 --> 00:40:38.400 to see what happens with that. Card Enthusiast, 00:40:38.400 --> 00:40:41.429 Hobby Marks, how the heck are we feeling? There's 00:40:41.429 --> 00:40:44.329 been a lot going on recently, a lot getting released, 00:40:44.530 --> 00:40:46.989 a lot about to be released. The new product that 00:40:46.989 --> 00:40:49.909 just went live for a pre -sale today is 2025 00:40:49.909 --> 00:40:53.289 Baseball Tops Allen and Ginter set. If you're 00:40:53.289 --> 00:40:55.489 not too familiar with Allen and Ginter, it's 00:40:55.489 --> 00:40:57.230 an interesting product because not only does 00:40:57.230 --> 00:40:59.429 it have baseball, but it mixes a whole lot from 00:40:59.429 --> 00:41:02.050 other aspects of the world in. So you'll get 00:41:02.050 --> 00:41:05.119 celebrity cards, you'll get... cards that have 00:41:05.119 --> 00:41:07.659 to do with landmarks. You'll get different food 00:41:07.659 --> 00:41:10.420 cards. Last year, they had these dog cards in 00:41:10.420 --> 00:41:12.840 them and bumblebee cards and all kinds of crazy 00:41:12.840 --> 00:41:17.039 stuff and carnival foods and just weird, interesting 00:41:17.039 --> 00:41:20.820 things. I think I actually pulled a relic of 00:41:20.820 --> 00:41:24.000 a golfer last year out of Tops, Allen and Ginter. 00:41:24.119 --> 00:41:26.880 So it's a very different product and it's not 00:41:26.880 --> 00:41:29.739 for everybody, but that's okay. Hobby boxes are 00:41:29.739 --> 00:41:34.239 retailing on the presale for $129 .99. you're 00:41:34.239 --> 00:41:37.039 guaranteed roughly two hits per box now one thing 00:41:37.039 --> 00:41:39.579 they do have in this which i think is going to 00:41:39.579 --> 00:41:43.900 be really really cool they have a insert and 00:41:43.900 --> 00:41:46.599 an autograph where they are taking a piece of 00:41:46.599 --> 00:41:50.159 the baseball lineup card and attaching it to 00:41:50.159 --> 00:41:52.960 the card in addition to the player's autograph 00:41:52.960 --> 00:41:57.360 so the one card they showed was cal raleigh obviously 00:41:57.360 --> 00:42:00.260 from seattle and he's known as the big dumper 00:42:00.260 --> 00:42:03.380 so they had his autograph with a small picture 00:42:03.380 --> 00:42:07.780 on the card and then underneath it had his mariners 00:42:07.780 --> 00:42:13.000 lineup name written out as dumper so it looked 00:42:13.000 --> 00:42:16.340 pretty wild pretty wild um but these cards it's 00:42:16.340 --> 00:42:19.219 hard to describe because they're not really photos 00:42:19.219 --> 00:42:22.239 they're almost like a painting of the card so 00:42:22.239 --> 00:42:24.820 it's just a totally different product i've noticed 00:42:24.820 --> 00:42:27.480 that people either really love these or they 00:42:27.480 --> 00:42:29.579 hate them and there's kind of no in between i 00:42:29.579 --> 00:42:32.800 opened a couple blasters of this from the product 00:42:32.800 --> 00:42:35.710 last year and it was fun It was really fun. I 00:42:35.710 --> 00:42:39.769 got a kick out of some of the dog inserts that 00:42:39.769 --> 00:42:43.550 I was getting. And yeah, so it'll be interesting 00:42:43.550 --> 00:42:45.570 to see. One of the other things they do is they 00:42:45.570 --> 00:42:48.210 have like this rip card, which is very interesting. 00:42:48.409 --> 00:42:51.230 You get it. And on the back, it tells you or 00:42:51.230 --> 00:42:53.389 you've received a rip card. And what you can 00:42:53.389 --> 00:42:56.090 do is actually tear the card open. And there's 00:42:56.090 --> 00:43:00.429 a. Another card inside it. So those are extremely 00:43:00.429 --> 00:43:03.650 popular, extremely rare. And sometimes the card 00:43:03.650 --> 00:43:07.349 that's inside the card is just a crazy hit. It 00:43:07.349 --> 00:43:10.389 could be an auto. It could be some insane thing 00:43:10.389 --> 00:43:12.650 that you never would expect. But it's just a 00:43:12.650 --> 00:43:15.610 really, really sweet product. What else is being 00:43:15.610 --> 00:43:17.829 released this week? Topps Basketball. Obviously, 00:43:17.869 --> 00:43:20.449 I've talked about this before, but 2526 Topps 00:43:20.449 --> 00:43:23.210 Basketball has been flying off the shelves. People 00:43:23.210 --> 00:43:25.469 are really happy with this. Well, their mega 00:43:25.469 --> 00:43:28.280 boxes. are coming out let's see i think it's 00:43:28.280 --> 00:43:32.559 thursday the 6th the mega box variation is dropping 00:43:32.559 --> 00:43:34.820 in stores those are going to retail for roughly 00:43:34.820 --> 00:43:38.699 50 tops is also putting out you know how i talked 00:43:38.699 --> 00:43:41.119 about the spongebob set well they now have a 00:43:41.119 --> 00:43:44.719 sapphire variation so tops chrome spongebob sapphire 00:43:44.719 --> 00:43:48.179 is dropping this friday at one o 'clock for this 00:43:48.179 --> 00:43:51.610 one you are looking at Five carts per pack, 12 00:43:51.610 --> 00:43:53.769 packs per box, and the hobby box is going to 00:43:53.769 --> 00:43:58.550 run you $320. So it would not shock me if these 00:43:58.550 --> 00:44:01.130 are going to instantly double or even triple 00:44:01.130 --> 00:44:04.789 in value because some of the stuff from the SpongeBob 00:44:04.789 --> 00:44:07.769 set has been flying off the shelf and just crazy, 00:44:07.829 --> 00:44:11.030 crazy high prices. The other cool thing, obviously 00:44:11.030 --> 00:44:14.159 we knew the Dodgers, if you stayed up. Saturday 00:44:14.159 --> 00:44:17.380 night, you watch the Dodgers win the World Series 00:44:17.380 --> 00:44:20.219 back -to -back championships. Well, Tops Now, 00:44:20.400 --> 00:44:22.880 you know they love to capitalize on huge moments 00:44:22.880 --> 00:44:26.239 in sports. Well, they just released a Tops Now 00:44:26.239 --> 00:44:30.239 triple auto, and this card is fire. I can't even 00:44:30.239 --> 00:44:32.000 imagine what this card is going to sell for. 00:44:32.460 --> 00:44:35.039 I would think that this is probably going to 00:44:35.039 --> 00:44:38.699 be very similar to the Olympic basketball with 00:44:38.699 --> 00:44:43.280 Durant, LeBron, and Curry. the triple auto that 00:44:43.280 --> 00:44:46.039 no one has ever uncovered yet and the thought 00:44:46.039 --> 00:44:47.900 was that car's probably a million dollars but 00:44:47.900 --> 00:44:52.340 so here you have a Yamamoto Shohei Otani and 00:44:52.340 --> 00:44:55.079 Roki Sasaki have signed a one -of -one triple 00:44:55.079 --> 00:44:58.239 autograph card commemorating the 25 World Series 00:44:58.239 --> 00:45:01.659 Championship it's going to have it looks to be 00:45:01.659 --> 00:45:04.079 from the pictures like there are it's a triple 00:45:04.079 --> 00:45:06.800 relic as well so you have the three autos then 00:45:06.800 --> 00:45:09.920 you have two pieces of a baseball and then It's 00:45:09.920 --> 00:45:13.460 hard to tell if that's a base or another patch 00:45:13.460 --> 00:45:16.400 of the ball that says World Series 2025. I mean, 00:45:16.420 --> 00:45:19.000 this card's fire. This card's just fire. I can't 00:45:19.000 --> 00:45:21.179 imagine that this card's going to sell for less 00:45:21.179 --> 00:45:24.719 than $500 ,000. I mean, I don't know how these, 00:45:24.800 --> 00:45:27.059 they keep doing it with the Tops Now stuff, but 00:45:27.059 --> 00:45:29.760 that's going to be sick. What else? Oh, I did 00:45:29.760 --> 00:45:35.320 manage to buy a hanger box of 2526 Tops NBA. 00:45:35.500 --> 00:45:38.789 And I got to tell you folks. I kind of like it. 00:45:38.829 --> 00:45:41.670 I kind of like it. I was digging it. And, you 00:45:41.670 --> 00:45:44.769 know, I spent, what, $12 .99 to open a hanger 00:45:44.769 --> 00:45:48.489 box. But these are cool. I mean, the power players 00:45:48.489 --> 00:45:52.230 insert. I got a KD Power Players insert. I love 00:45:52.230 --> 00:45:54.230 the colors on this thing. It really pops. The 00:45:54.230 --> 00:45:57.489 Generation Now cards. These are some of your 00:45:57.489 --> 00:46:00.190 younger rookie players. I love them. I freaking 00:46:00.190 --> 00:46:02.369 love them. I like the way they look. If you do 00:46:02.369 --> 00:46:05.510 go with the hanger packs, you get these Diamante 00:46:05.510 --> 00:46:09.190 inserts and you're guaranteed two per hanger 00:46:09.190 --> 00:46:12.989 box. They pop. It's very similar to, like I talked 00:46:12.989 --> 00:46:15.090 about before, Topps Baseball. If you like the 00:46:15.090 --> 00:46:17.650 Diamantes, they're the exact same thing. It's 00:46:17.650 --> 00:46:21.239 just with NBA. players but uh and then also 8 00:46:21.239 --> 00:46:24.079 -bit ballers people crap all over these things 00:46:24.079 --> 00:46:25.980 I think they're fun I think they're entertaining 00:46:25.980 --> 00:46:29.820 I got an 8 -bit baller insert of Ray Allen who 00:46:29.820 --> 00:46:32.280 I like pulling some of the older players actually 00:46:32.280 --> 00:46:35.420 pulled Shaquille O 'Neal Orlando magic card and 00:46:35.420 --> 00:46:38.039 that made me smile and laugh and I just had a 00:46:38.039 --> 00:46:41.039 good time so I'm looking forward to my fanatics 00:46:41.039 --> 00:46:43.699 boxes getting here hopefully rather soon because 00:46:43.699 --> 00:46:45.940 I'm looking forward to getting in and seeing 00:46:45.940 --> 00:46:47.880 what I get out of that but I think that's going 00:46:47.880 --> 00:46:49.920 to do it I think that's going to wrap it up again 00:46:49.920 --> 00:46:52.780 I apologize for the the quality of my voice it's 00:46:52.780 --> 00:46:55.760 been a rough 24 hours but I appreciate everyone 00:46:55.760 --> 00:46:57.840 stopping in and checking out the three t's thanks 00:46:57.840 --> 00:46:59.880 for sticking with me if you've enjoyed this episode 00:46:59.880 --> 00:47:03.039 or any other episode of the podcast do me a favor 00:47:03.039 --> 00:47:04.900 help Help your boy out.
