Yes yes uh I’m trying to persuade you list to go on your your X account right now it’s not it’s not we’ll talk we’ll talk about it we’ll talk about the whole thing because I have a new philosophy now well well your philosophy should start okay so let’s um where but where
Is it I don’t see it I’m not linked I’m not uh c yeah just go to Roa wire’s page right now we’re live by the way we are live all right and you should see it there and then just uh give it a re ret twizzle wh which it’s not the Cowboys
And Eagles is it yep that’s it okay that’s us yep um well that’s a good uh lead in here you know I mean you I I actually was not surprised that the Cowboys lost you’re you’re gonna um this is like a small Victory lap I took the
Green Bay money line oh nice yeah yeah 50 bucks nothing crazy but obviously it was a plus was it plus 420 I think something like something like that 380 I don’t remember in the threes cuz it was seven and a half seven a kickoff right right that’s what the other one the the
Bills the temp pointer was up there yeah no I I just was like you know I just why not you know the Green Bay had beaten Detroit on Thanksgiving and I didn’t see much difference between Detroit and Dallas so I like why can’t they do it again right they beat the Chiefs too
Green Bay I forgot about that yeah and I mean you looked at the record I mean we’ve gone over this before they were six- two Jordan love was 18 inter uh touchdowns one interception so what do you think I mean you watch a ton of football I’m just curious like what went
Wrong with the Cowboys in your opinion I think they were like the Dolphins they were you know bullies on bad teams like the Giants they were able to bully them but when they played good teams they almost lost to the Lions the Cowboys you know they lost to the bills they got
Blown out by the ners they just they weren’t good against good teams and you know there’s a kind of team like that I I think that like you know the way that the U the sharps or this the stats guys tend to see it is you just kind of aggregate everything
Together and they’re they are the totality of their their per play and their success rates and all of that but I think that may be true on average but I think there are certain teams that uh that wither more when the competition gets better and certain teams that step
Up when the competition gets better and Dallas always seemed like one of those now Dallas was also a lot better at home so I actually thought I actually didn’t take I didn’t touch that game I I made the line exactly seven and a half um but uh it wasn’t that surprising you know
They just Dallas just never really won it was like the eagles fell apart Dallas won the division only because the Eagles fell apart Dallas didn’t step up and beat Buffalo to win the division they didn’t do what they had to do and so they were never a great team and they
Were soft and their defense played worse in the second half too yeah they had won I think was it 16 in a row at home something like that as well yeah I mean that’s that’s pretty pretty happy well it just so happened that they got the
Ners on the road that they got the bills on the you know a lot of the good teams we played were on the road right that’s a good point and then you know and Green Bay I mean I know they finished R but they were a nine and8 team and by the
Way can I um this is not a victory for like public consumption but it is for you I don’t know if you remember one of our first offseason podcasts you asked me you said what’s who’s a quarterback that can go be deep in the ranks and it
Actually said and I did I remember that yeah you said love love and I was laughing at you like halfway through the season I was like yeah that’s just a trendy pick that was a stupid pick but no he was good and he’s gonna be I I
Still prefer Stroud straight up in terms of not I I think it’s a question I think I think it’s a question not yet it’s not a question right as of today it’s not a question but you know but I think Stout is like the looks like an all-time great in the
Making you know knock on wood uh love looks like a good quarterback you know and but they might both be I mean they’re young enough and you know love his first full year of of being the guy I mean what how much better could it
Have gone he’s won a playoff game on the road already yeah you know so and shroud is a Pure 22y Old rookie so the I think the ceiling is still higher again look I I’ve been in Dynasty startup drafts already shroud goes at pick three right
After in super Flex of course after Josh Allen and Patrick Mahomes people are still uncertain like uh Jordan loves going like in the middle of the second round like after the receivers and that could change but as of today I think that’s the the sentiment yeah I mean stoud I mean so
Okay so I want to talk about this so we have the nffc postseason contest and we talked about this a little bit last week how first round you get whatever they score second round you get double if it’s an original player that’s on your team third round triple Super Bowl
Quadruple and that a lot of the contest is picking like the the highest scoring players in the Super Bowl usually quarterbacks and then also picking players that are not heavily owned and remember last week I told you I was going Mahomes Allen in that contest for
My two QBs and then I ditched Allen because I was like everyone’s gonna have a lot of people are gonna have him and Mahomes is gonna meet Allen in the second round probably so I’m gonna lose one of them in second round you can’t have those two so I switched to Stroud
Thinking Mahomes and St would meet in the third round so they both have triple points and then one of them would definitely go to the Super bowl and have quadruple points and they’ both be low owned so this is going to be great and then I thought you know what they’re
Underdogs at home even though I bet the Texans that I won 100 bucks no I won 60 bucks I bet like 66 to win 60 and so I was like but if he lose in the first round that’s dumb and I don’t want to have my whole entry riding on an
Underdog in the first round so i’ switch it to Lamar okay so I’ve got Lamar and and momes right so my thesis is Mahomes beats Allen or you know has a good chance to beat Allen this week and if the Ravens just win at home then I’ve
Got exactly the same thing one of them guaranteed to go to the Super Bowl and the NFC side I have mcaffrey if the Niners make it at 4X so I’ve got my two 4X big scores in the Super Bowl which is the point of the contest and I’ve got
The low in Mahomes but at the last minute I said you know what I’m too home run swinging as a as you know I’m always going for the home run I don’t need to get Mahomes and strad I’ll just get Mahomes and I’ll go chalk with Lamar but
Now that strad looked that good and they won so easily I’m regretting it because if if the Texans beat the Ravens and the Chiefs be beat the bills which is almost 50/50 in the second one I’ve got it it’s like over if the Niners make the Super
Bowl like I’ve got the two you know no one’s got that combination nobody out of like 2,000 teams I’m the only one and I was a nutless monkey and I switched it to the chalk now if the Ravens win which they probably will then I’m in good
Shape but I’m I put a moneyline bet down on the Texans just in case so I get compensated a little bit if the if the Texans win this game so I think the Texans are a very live dog I love the money line I like the spread I think
This is going to be a tough tough game for the Ravens yeah and by the way right now I’m really uh Curious what the the odds would be for a Jordan love CJ strad Super Bowl right wouldn’t that be cool I mean it’s really just it’s really just
The these two games because they’re both long shots right they’re both getting about four to one so it’s about 16 you know it’s about 20 to one you know one and five one in 20 125 but the thing is because if they beat the ners by way you
Got a nutless monkey oh nut yeah good nutless monkey that’s that’s a that’s an old phrase we’ve using yeah but yeah I’m saying you know this that’s my point always new people keep coming into the stream you know we need to get that into the Lexicon so I interrupted so but the
Point is like if the Packers beat the Niners then like of course they could beat the Lions right of course right it’ll be like almost 50-50 if they beat the Niners obviously Lions will be like a two and a half Point favorite or something or pick them but if they beat
The ners then it’s like oh they could beat anybody and same thing with the Texans if they beat the Ravens then they can beat anybody right I could easily see the Texans being the and then Mahomes holding serve at home or Allen holding serve at home uh in the cold you
Know against them but stoud is Joe Montana man that that guy he moves around in the pocket well he has like an extra sense of like how to you know prolong the the uh the down and then he just keeps his eyes downfield and even like while he’s being sacked he throws
It to an empty spot in the field where the where the receiver can run to and this is like Joe Montana had this ability and I haven’t seen seen anybody else like it ever um except until this guy came along I know it sounds like a
Crazy comp Joe Montana is like a top three alltime quarterback but that’s what I see in Strat it’s not like he’s Lamar Jackson or Josh Allen as an athlete he doesn’t have a cannon for an arm he just he just has a feel like nobody else and um and then you know you
See that he’s like religious and he’s like just doesn’t he’s not flustered by anything he’s not like this guy just seems to me like with the mental mindset of of the next alltime great I don’t know I could be wrong but my my read on
This guy is this is like Mahomes was the last one you know in 2017 I mean Lamar is a good quarterback and Josh Allen’s a good I mean those guys are really good burrow is really good but I think Mahomes is the generational guy and the
Next one I I feels like it’s stoud to me right the only pause here on that is that we we kind of got that Vibe with Herbert and then he took a big step backwards based on where we thought he was going so that’s my only pause never
Got that Vibe Herbert my comp was Marino and Marino was amazing right so that’s an all it’s an all it’s an all-timer but it’s an alltime that never want anything right it was a guy who could sling it down the field with slick just flick his
Wrist and the ball would be on a line drive 40 yards perfect to the guy and you saw Herbert just easily zip it down the field Herbert’s also more mobile than Marino ever was but that was the comp that I had but Montana Marino is not close right like Marino was like
Great he was like an all-time stat great and I don’t know great he was an all come on I I don’t I don’t even know if Herbert’s gonna get there even but but the point is that Marino was an all-time offensive like his offenses are great
But it wasn’t like one of those guys where the final drive you know they’re down six and you’re like oh Montana’s gonna beat us he’s too good um it was more like greatest show on Turf stuff it was like let’s light him up you know and
And that’s great and he was a great quarterback and you know Marino is great he’s like a the 10th or 12th best all-time quarterback but Montana’s like two you know like I mean it’s a different I think it’s a little bit different and and and Herbert these comps aren’t exact obviously and you
Know strad would be lucky to be Montana obviously but Herbert Herbert he’s got the physical tools for sure but we’ll see you gotta get rid of Brandon you know getting rid of Brandon Staley is just a necessary step he’s gone yeah no I said it’s a necessary step to to like
See what Herber can really be because that was being that was tough yeah I mean Jim Harbaugh interviewed over there this week so that that might be interesting as well the um and just I want to go back to the the Cowboys for a second but uh Matt Stafford reminds me a
Lot of like Marino I know Matt Stafford’s more accomplished and he’s like but just kind of in that pocket flick of the wrist quarterback um elevates an offense had you know got got Calvin Johnson his alltime season uh had you know and obviously had a 5,000 yards
Season before yeah I I I don’t I don’t put him there because Marino and same with Herbert I mean I just the style was similar but Marino was getting 4,800 yards when people are getting 3,000 you know it would be like if somebody got 6,200 yards this year and you’d be like
Wait the all-time record was 55 and he got 62 and nobody’s even over 5,000 it was like so he had a 4,400 yard and then a 4800 yard um and it was so it was like Babe Ruth hitting 60 home runs when the next guy hit 20 you know was it was so
Out of you know out of step with the rest of the league so you know Stafford will go to the Hall of Fame and he’s a a very good quarterback but he’s just of of his era Marino was almost like of the future yeah the thing about Stafford
Again we’re we’re getting uh we’re going in a different direction right here is that it’s just it’s it’s not a coincidence that the re he is a king maker at receiver you know what I’m saying like Calvin Johnson Cooper cup now PUK and AA it’s like right the
Common Thread is Stafford so um just I think I think Calvin was a physical alltime freak so anybody who’s decent in a dome is going to get that and then McVey because gof you know was supporting some good receiver production too when he was there you know at his
Best year too y all right Cowboys I I don’t want to spend too much time going backwards with the wild card but I do want to because there’s a lot of cowboy fans out there that have asking us like you know that you hear about the fire
Mike McCarthy which they’re not going to do they’ve already come out and said that so just in your opinion this I’ve been waiting all week to ask you here what do the Cowboys need to do not just to be a 12- win team now you know take
Your Giants team bias out of this but what do you think they need to do here to now take fix the team get to the next level is it um I mean what they’re probably going to lose their defensive coordinator and Dan Quinn they need to they need to relegate the cowys to
College football and then promote Alabama or whatever Michigan or whatever no so here no uh I don’t know you know because they have I think gotta get rid of McCarthy and now that they’re not doing that um I just don’t think that team uh I think that Personnel was fine
Right I mean they’re gonna get what’s his name back uh Diggs back who was hurt all year and with donon Bland and they’re going to have their you know they’re going to have Michael Parsons and Demarcus Lawrence they’re going to have this you know sort of star studded
Defense and they have a good offensive line and they have you know I mean they have cidi lamb who’s an elite receiver I was setting you up here and you didn’t take the bait they need saquan Barkley oh I mean I think saquan would
Help them a lot but a lot I don’t I think it would help him a lot but I don’t I don’t I think they needed a number two like a real receiver more like I think they needed like like Cooks was kind of cooked he’s kind of past his
Prime and G Davis he’s a free agent nah that just seems like another Michael Gala plus you know it’s I think they need like they need like a Amari Cooper is what they need you know so T Higgins would be like a good one t Higgs would
Be great yeah he’s going to get franchise tagged there’s no way he’s leaving but someone on that level like wide receiver like 11 through 20 someone ter M Cooper like Cooper McLaren someone like that that’s what they had you know because had Amari Cooper if only they
Could have gotten only wait yeah yeah right and and so you know Ferguson seems like a good tight end I mean it seems like they have enough I mean look Barkley would be an upgrade over Pard Pard wasn’t very good this year um and I
Do think like a Bruiser who’s 240 or 230 whatever Barkley is now does matter like I think like you people like don’t realize that that’s why Barkley’s so good because he can bruise but he’s also a pass catcher he’s also a great pass Pro guy he does it all um and Pard is
Like this quick speed guy but like you know maybe he was banged up after his surgery or whatever offseason whatever but I I don’t I I think they could upgrade or bring in someone dowle seemed okay for a while but then he was playing hurt in the playoffs but but I think
They they didn’t really have like a a dangerous second receiver maybe Jaylen Tolbert you know could step up and give him some reps if they ever did but they don’t I don’t think cooks and Gallop were the answer yeah and the wide receiver uh free agent class is very
Thin this year list I mean like I said Gabe Davis because he’s basically top of the food chain everyone else like the T Higgins types they’re all going to be franchise tagged as they usually are I mean this is I mean Odell is a free agent Tyler Boyd um I mean Mike Evans
Those guys are those guys are all just more Michael gallops and Brandon cookes that’s not gonna do it like how about Mike Evans he’s a true free agent yeah it just he’s old I mean you don’t to pay for that well I mean he’s been around
Forever I don’t know I he was good he was great this year so I mean he still had it in the tank this year and maybe and then there’s Dak you know how’s Dak in these big games is Dak the problem and you know I don’t know you know I
Think the coaching I think Dak certainly can make all the throws make good decisions often but is he the guy when there’s pressure when when he’s behind when when the game is tight that you really want so they’re not going to’s the alternative what’s the alternative
Well they’ have to break build it all all the way from scratch they’d have to start over again they’re not doing that they’re not doing that but I mean this is the worst thing to be in sometimes is being in that like limbo of like you
Don’t win a playoff game but you make the playoffs and then you know you you sort of like never get that gamechanging draft pick and you just you know have this not even a dynasty you have like what the Philip Rivers Chargers had you know for a few years where you’re like
Yeah you’re always in the playoffs but you never win anything yeah the other two free agents and they could be tagged but Hollywood Brown is one forget Michael Pitman he’s he’s not going anywhere and then the other one that I saw that was interesting what the was
How oh Calvin Ridley is a true free agent yeah it’s a hell of a gamble uh to take Ridley uh I I don’t he seemed a little off I don’t know that whole passing offense was off so it’s hard to tell you know he led the NFL in End Zone
Targets he had 25 Targets in the end zone cidd Lan was second with 20 and Calvin really did so so little with so much um you know he had you know he was dealing with some mental health stuff then he was gambling I don’t know if
He’s the guy that he really he’s ever going to be the guy he was with Matt Ryan when he came into the league I like the uh Mike Evans one I still think he’s got it all right um Philadelphia Eagles is our last look back I’m not I mean I
Don’t think anybody’s surprised this happened I saw even like the chalk pick was I mean it was trendy to say hey give me the bucks plus three I’m assuming you took them as well I was the soccer I didn’t I I didn’t bet it I the only ones
I bet I bet the Texans and I wanted to bet the Chiefs but I was an nutless monkey and thought ah maybe the Dolphins will lose by three I was sure the Chiefs would win but the game went exactly how I thought it would go and I was like why
Didn’t I bet that it’s so obvious that were not going to come into that weather banged up and beat beat the chief so yeah that was obvious but I didn’t have a strong feeling about any of the other wild card games all right Eagles what do they just quick synopsis here what do
They need to do to fix it because they were 10 and one they were one of the Super Bowl favorites uh Jaylen Herz was an MVP leader I think he was even minus money at one point uh they lose five of the last six I believe and then you know
The the feeling was okay they’re going to turn around in the playoffs AJ Brown there seems to be some discontent like simil how Stefon Diggs was was discontent with the bills a couple years ago what do the Eagles need to do is it from a to get rid of the coach you know
All the things that you’ve been hearing all week what are in your opinion what do the Eagles need to do to uh get back to where they were I don’t know because their defensive line is aging you know that might have uh hurt their offensive
Line was really good but it was aging a little bit too so you have these guys who were Elite on both sides getting older and there’s not like a fix for that right um and Los Kelsey also kelse losing their best offensive lineman right and these guys were getting older
As the season was going on and you know Lane Johnson none of these guys are young anymore and then you have U uh you know the the way they played down the stretch and I kind of should have I should have at the Bucks because I really thought the Eagles were going to
Turn it around in week 18 against the Giants and it was just one of those things where I always bet the team that’s out against the team well Eagles were barely playing for something because Dallas was going to win against the uh against the football team that
Week but they were sort of playing for something I thought the eagles need to get well game they need to crush the Giants and just be like okay we’re were in sync we’re ready for the playoffs they could not afford to get blown out by the Giants after not having a good
Game in six games and then go to the playoffs like that you can’t do that you can’t turn it on and off they needed to show they could do it and what happened the Giants blew them out right the Tyrod Taylor Giants blew them out it wasn’t
Even close and then they sat their guys in the second half but they were playing in the first half and so they were done um you know I don’t know I don’t know what they do because I think like Herz is just okay he was he was playing
Behind a great offensive line with great skilled guys um the defense is going to be worse you know guys like Bradberry and slay are a bit older also and then you know you’ve got uh you you know I mean you’ve got Andre Swift probably not gonna come back he’s a true free agent
Right and he’s injury-prone you know they never use Penny even though they signed him these guys like gainwell and Boston Scott are just guys um and then you know Devonte Smith is good but you need AJ Brown to be content and in the mix so I don’t know if this is a tear
Down you know I mean I think you know maybe um you know but they’ve got Hertz under contract for a long long time and so it’s not a tear down you know they they’re I guess they got to just you know sign a couple free agents and go at
It like they’re still a contender next year but if you know if things start falling apart in the first month sell sell sell what you can you know but I mean the Herz contract I don’t know what the on that yeah if if uh this is just no one’s talking about
This but if you’re the Eagles right and then you talk to the Bears and they say hey we’ll give you Jaylen Herz with his contract for the first overall pick which one of those teams you think says no to that well the Bears why would the Bears want to do that because it’s
Jaylen Herz it’s proven proven commod no no no chance you’re not because he’s ful he’s fully paid you know the thing is like like there’s a point at which like you just pay up for the fully paid like you know Patrick mahol is fully paid but
You can’t overpay him or Josh Allen or those guys but when you get down to the next tier and they gave full pay you know money to Prescott and Herz that’s now a liability not an asset because my my thesis is basically like Baker Mayfield and Jer J Goff are Jaylen Herz
They’re not as mobile but they’re Jaylen Herz level quarterbacks it’s just Situation’s good Jared Goff is like Jaylen Hertz Situation’s bad Jared gof is bad and so I think he’s in that tier of QBs Prescott is you know maybe a little above it but maybe not you know
He’s always had a great situation with the offensive line of Dallas and so you know you just you never it’s just like the NBA you never give Rashad Lewis the the max you know you give Kevin Durant LeBron yeah I just remember they gave
Him the max you know it was like who was the dude on the Knicks they gave the max to that everyone hated the contract Jerome James that gave him a big contract but it wasn’t the was total scrub Amari STM no but that waso Keith Van Horn oh alen Houston alen Houston
Alen Houston there it is right you never give Allen Houston the max right like he was a good player he was an All-Star but a low-level Allstar you don’t give the max right you give the max to the Superstar and it’s same thing with the
QBs like you give the max to a top seven or eight QB but if you’re in that vast middle wherever you want to draw the line wherever you say you know below burrow below Allen below Mahomes um wherever you say this is where the line
Is stoud I now put over that line we’ll see with Jordan love he could end up there or not well he’s under contract for next no of course he’s he’s still on the but I’m just saying like in general like what level you know Kurt Cousins is
Kind of on the border you know guy like cousins and I you know I think cousins is a better quarterback than than Herz you know I think cousins is a bit above something here okay so there’s two quarterbacks that are going to want to be paid the 50 million plus next year
And let’s use your theory here that you don’t overpay the the marginal guy so there’s Tua who’s GNA want the big money no well let me just get this thought out here and then and then you have Trevor Lawrence both have underperformed right I mean both have not met expectation and
Both don’t belong in that but what’s the alternative right so I guess what you’re saying is what do you do if let’s start with Tua and the Dolphins who obviously you know we we we know that the warts there so he’s going to say I want 50 the
Team’s going to say hey we’ll pay you the 33 35 and he’s going to say listen you know I led the league in passing yards right like I mean we went into an impossible situ with a B with our defense banged up I I got to get paid
The money what do you actually do if you’re the Miami Dolphins then I mean can you franchise them for one year or what of course you can but then you know so here’s what I was thinking is can you trade Tua for and then sign free agent
Kir cousin now listen this is why I’m saying this because this seems a lot like what McVey did um with when stord and yes with Stafford and golf well the problem was golf had the contract which was bad so golf was like they weren’t getting stuff for golf They were like
Giving here’s a placeholder quarterback for you and we got to give you more because you took on golf so you’re so Tua might actually be of positive value you know like you actually might get a third a third for him right under for the for the money that he’s going to
Command right somebody might think oh we’re just a quarterback away and two is the guy we want right my my problem is um it one thing that’s hard to tell about QBs right is that it’s hard to know whether Tua is great I mean I don’t think so because they got waddled in
Hill right but you know and a good offensive minded coach but it’s hard to know two is I think pretty easier to know and also the concussions are just like why would you even get go there he he was one of nine quarterbacks that made it through healthy this year right
But I’m saying like it’s he’s to me like any one concussion he’s in big trouble you know like the next time um it’s hard to know you know like it’s easy to know Mahomes and burrow and Allen although you know Burrow’s got his injury problems now too but uh it’s easy to
Know you know who the really great quarterbacks are but it’s hard to know in the middle right I think cousins I wouldn’t pay cousins like a big you know I do one year but like he’s 34 or something like that he’s not young anymore right he’s only going to want a
One or two year yeah so cousins is worth it for you know the next year I think think but the question is um I don’t know that Tua is is good I we I think Herz is not that good I think Prescott’s not that good I think Mayfield is better
You know is this the Mayfield golf tier is not different than a lot of these guys and people get really confused Matt Ryan won MVP one year he was he was incredible his stats and then you realize Matt Ryan was like at best he was like K I think he was like her
Cousins you know is and and they forget and they’re like oh Matt Ryan’s like Brady or Matt Ryan’s like momes but they’re not you know and and any one year a quarterback can look like that and it’s a it’s a tough call like with somebody with a short career or recently
Getting really good like how good is he yep uh so here this just shows you how powerful draft capital is so two was the sixth pick or fifth pick I fet which one he was and Trevor Lawrence was the first overall pick right in the same draft
Class more or less right oh no one year later one year later but right okay but first overall pick and six pick you know we’re saying like ah tway is not worth wor it Lawrence has I don’t think he’s performed even as well as to it now you
Can you could say why but there’s no question the Jaguars are going to give him the 250 over five well here there’s one thing is Lawrence is a year younger right so that he’s had one less year to sh no it matters because not not for
Like not for how good he is but for how much we’re sure who he is so you’re going to give him exactly you’re less sure but you’re but you’re sure give him the 250 what I’m saying is you’re less sure that he’s just a guy right that
He’s just a guy right where like Tua you’re more sure that he’s pretty good that he’s a he’s a pretty good quarterback every no one could say he’s not a bad quarterback he’s the 18th to 23d best quarterback no he’s probably no he’s like the 12th to 15th best
Quarterback right and but you’re more sure that Tua is pretty good but you’re also more sure that he’s not great right and with with Lawrence you’re less sure that he’s as good as Tua he could be the 20th best quarterback Lawrence it might turn out but he could be a a top five
Quarterback we don’t know for sure yet that he’s not going to be great one day and if you let Lawrence go and someone else signs him in a good system and he turns out to be the prospect that he you know was supposed to be you know that’s
Like where you defend it straight you know that’s where you just blew everything you got the lucky pick that the Jets won that game and then you get Lawrence and then you didn’t develop Lawrence and then someone else did and then you’re really screwed so Lawrence has been surrounded by you know pretty
Good weapons not great but not bad um but is Doug Peterson really are these guys really calling you know I feel Mike McDaniel is put two in a really good spot and they have Tyreek Hill and Jaylen wad I feel like that system has like has been almost ideal and then good
Weather um and Lawrence has pretty good weather but is he um could he take another step I don’t think Tu is gonna take another step I think Tu is like a poor man’s Kurt Warner you know Kurt Warner is a Hall of Famer but I think
He’s a poor man’s Kurt Warner I don’t yeah I was gonna say that I mean Kurt Warner man he was at least quote a gamer to it strikes me as man it’s just like I said it put him in the the situation put him in the Chiefs like swap Patrick
Mahomes and Tua what would have the chiefs looked like this year what would have the Miami Dolphins looked like this year yeah it would have been a different a whole very bad with the situation but but I think Tua is you know he he does have touch he does get the ball out
Quickly he he throws the ball in a position where his receivers can make plays obviously they’re really skilled but I think there’s a little Kurt Warner him we’re slinging the ball around greatest show on Turf I I think there’s like I think there’s a bit of that in
Him um that would it would be a poor man’s Warner and the concussions are a liability um whereas Lawrence has some you know he’s sort of halfway between Danny dimes and Josh Allen you know he’s got that like Mobility he’s big um he can make it you know insane throws
Sometimes but you’re like where’s the consistency why are you playing terribly why is the offense stalling against mediocre defenses I don’t know and I don’t know if that’s a system thing or or that’s Trevor Lawrence yeah and that’s why I think that the in Miami they’re probably going to have to
Consider like Kirk Cousins if he’s healthy uh and then you know move on there and you would say then that the natural question is what happens in Minnesota remember Russell Wilson’s still looking for a team right he’s gonna be looking for a team I think I
Think Wilson is just like a a stop C but then again Mayfield left for dead G left for dead Wilson left for dead and all of a sudden you’re like wait this is Russell Wilson from five years ago like how did this happen quarterback is so
People this is the thing this is what the uh the stat dorks don’t seem to get is like they’re like oh the quarterback’s the only thing that matters yeah quarterback play matters but the quarterback and the quarterback play is not the same thing so like Joe Flaco until he was exposed like was
Quarterback play was outstanding in Cleveland it was great in Pittsburgh with Mason Rudolph for a couple of games it’s just there you know the situation dictates the quarterback play in many cases more than the guy because 80% of the quarterbacks maybe 60% at a minimum are all basically equal you know it’s
Just circumstantial it’s only the guys at the very top that transcend the situation like momes and mahomes’s numbers suck this year he wasn’t very but you could still see like they’re dropping his passes he’s making that first down scramble Mahomes it’s obvious when you watch them play that he still
Got it and and that he’s making plays despite the situation so there’s a few guys like that but mostly it’s quarterback play matters but not the quarterback uh what do you think what number quarterback off the board do you think Patrick Mahomes will be in fantasy
Football drafts next year is he is he still quarterback two after Josh Allen no it’ll be Allen and then we’ll see what happens with Herz but those like tush push touchdowns are like so I mean let’s see what happens her this is where we’re at let’s just say we’re drafting
Today right now I mean I wouldn’t take her second but I neither I right but I mean you know he scored how many touchdowns on the ground like 15 yeah that’s a hell of a floor um Lamar Jackson uh will go pretty that’ll be number two that’s it that’s the answer
That’s well we’ll see what happens in the playoffs though may affect it and then uh and then burrow is going to come back and people going be nervous but if Higgins is there burrow is going to be drafted high and then Co man with tank
Dell back and and and what if they draft somebody what if they get another receiver you know what if they um you know what if they sign a receiver like because you know Noah Brown is okay but Nico Collins tank Dell they make what if they get somebody what if they you know
Dalton sheltz is okay but what if they bring in like another playmaker yeah they have uh the Browns for first round pick they don’t have their own first round pick but they do have the Browns first round pick which I think is like 24 so that’s like Prime receiver area
Right I mean it’s not El leally but it’s a first round receiver so yeah you’re right about that all right uh the the divisional stuff that I want to get into list is the you remember all too well the Giants improbable run is the six seed and Green Bay did an improbable run
As the six seed I I just think that this uh 49ers laying nine and a half thing I’m just trying to I can Green Bay be that team now that goes on this crazy run or is it I mean this is not that different than when the Giants beat up
Green Bay in Green Bay Green Bay was a great team that year so Green Bay now goes into San Francisco I’ve been waiting all week to hear if you think there’s any parallels here between the six seed Giants that could do it no the the Giants both years 2007 they were the
Low seed also yes and they shocked 2007 they beat the the RO the Cowboys Romo Cowboys that were 13 and3 and and the Cowboys would have won that game but Patrick katton dropped the slant for first down Giants beat them first of all they beat Tampa on the road in the wild
Card game and they were underdogs that was John Gruden’s Tampa team they beat them they were three-point underdogs three and a half they the Giants were not even good okay then they shock Dallas okay in the next game and they were 13 and three so they beat a 13 and3
Team then they went to uh they went to San Francisco that year and shocked was it San Francisco no no sorry they went to Green Bay free the top cheeks game and they never uh no one ever beat farre in the freezing cold they beat them they were
13 and three then they go to Super Bowl and beat The Undefeated Patriots right so this is like the sickest run nobody ever saw coming 2011 same thing they beat uh they beat the Packers who were the one seed who were 15- one the Packers were by the way so one one thing
They beat the 18-0 Patriots and the other thing they beat the 15-1 Packers okay and then the next game they beat the 13-3 ners in overtime after they gave it to uh the concuss punt returner who fumbled twice and then you know then they were underdogs again in the Super
Bowls of the Patriots and beat them again and the thing is nobody thought those giants teams could do that right everybody’s talking about Green Bay like you know hey you know they just beat Dallas and Dallas was you know a pretty good team that to me this is uh it’s not
Like that I’m not saying they couldn’t win but this is they are not remotely the long shot that the Giants were it’s I think I think that like they are much more maybe before the playoffs I guess part of it was the Giants only beat like
A crappy Tampa team in the wild card so nobody took him seriously even after the Wild Card win and people are already taking Green Bay seriously because they beat a good team at home ostensibly good team at home I think the Niners I don’t know so here’s here’s the
Deal I I think the Texans are the livest dog of the big you know they’re more live than Green Bay even but I think Green Bay could win obviously I think that uh typically though in the divisional round you get excited about the wild card team and then that bye uh
That bye team flexes his muscle like 33 to7 and you’re like oh yeah that’s the best team in the conference um I I don’t see it against stad and Green Bay this is a great test for love you know can he uh deal with that Niners defense that’s
Really good and get and gets pressure on him and uh we’ll see yep the uh so would you uh take the minus the nine and a half with uh would you lay the wood or you would if you’re forced to bet this one forced to bet if I’m forced to bet I
I don’t I don’t I think that’s the right line I mean I think Green Bay you know nine and a half Green Bay has a 20% chance 15 20% chance of winning and but San Francisco um you know is the better team and you could see them like
Mcaffrey breaking a run in the fourth quarter and just opening it up I I guess i’ probably take the points if I absolutely had to pick this one but I don’t have a strong feeling if it went to 10 and a half is that like just Auto
I mean of course I wouldn’t be Auto I I I’m not like that I’m not one of those people that says oh 9 and half 5050 10 and half snap call that’s like you know some Rufus stuff where they’re like professionals who like just see oh it’s
Incrementally better me it’s like do I feel the game’s gonna go this way and then you get a little advantage and you’re like okay I have to feel the game’s gonna go that way like that’s why I should have bet Chiefs Miami was like of course Miami can get blown out in the
Cold and I just I was getting too caught up in oh four and a half they might win by three that was just stupid all right uh Tampa going into Detroit Detroit 6 and a half uh is do you have a I think this is is the right line as well right
Like it’s like right on that number where you’re you know there’s the right below a touchdown here um I absolutely love Detroit on this one I I would take him at seven and a half um I I made a small bet on Detroit myself I so here’s
The thing this guy and I have to turn the heat off because it’s like pounding on my my bold head right here it’s like making my neck sweat keep going okay so uh I think Allan should hear this though but I’ll I’ll repeat it when he comes
Back one of the uh one of my uh main commenters on real mansports.com Tony uh he’s a big lions fan he’s always defending Jared Goff uh sens like over defending J Jared Goff thinks he’s like the second coming but seriously Tony knows what he’s doing and he went to a
Lions game he went to the Lions Rams and he said so I’m talking about one of the commenters on my real man Sports who’s a big lions fan he knows the Lions well and he went to a Lions game and he said the environment was so insane I mean
They haven’t been to a playoff game in you know decades and it was just so loud so insane there like nothing he’s ever heard and he said like it screwed up the Rams burned a couple timeouts it screwed them up a couple of times and you know McVey is you know experienced playoff
Coach it’s experienced playoff team with Stafford he knows that you know the the area and he said that this is a really gonna be a really tough place to play in the playoffs and he said lay the wood and I made a small bet on them I do
Think six and a half is pushing to like where it’s getting you I think seven should be the line probably now I originally said four and a half but now that I think about it Tampa is not good Tampa’s just a team you know they beat the Eagles because Eagles suck Tampa’s a
A well coached hardworking team Mayfield’s like a solid QB but they’re not a good team I don’t think and I think the Lions even though their defense is a little soft um could sort of get you know get ahead of them and grind them down with the running game
And start to pull away so I would I would actually lay wood with the Lions here yeah all right uh and then I never asked you cuz you were talking about Houston how you like them as a live dog so the nine and a half you’re Auto
Betting that one and then the money line is something that’s in play for you as well you said I did both 100 on each I just want to get paid in case I nutless monkey yeah uh blew it with strad because I had Stroud and now I’d way
Rather have strad now it’ be more fun and it’s like so what it’s 200 bucks like I could win 150k if a couple things break my way and now if Lamar wins and I get even if Mahomes beats Allen right which still puts me in a great spot
Because now I’m in the championship game with my 7% owned quarterback was momes even if that happens it’s like I still need other things to go right whereas if I had Stroud and he made it to the Super Bowl say that’s it that’s it I probably
Win the whole damn thing you know and and I pick up Nico Collins this week instead of not and then the whole thing you know and now I sort of have to have everything perfect so um so I’m I’m gonna compensate by betting the the
Texas money line to hedge yeah in the um just you know you talking about Nico Collins and I just want to go back to fantasy football for a second as I’m rejiggering some of the dynasty rankings uh I see ni Collins is like you know in
In consensus is like 15 18 I have in our like long-term keeper stuff I put him at at wide receiver 11 I mean ahead of Jaylen wad ahead of Devonte Smith I just for me I thought that was a I’m out of line with consensus do you see him as
Someone that you would consider taking in the third round of redraft next year I’d have to look at it more closely I didn’t really look at him that much I know that those guys that I just named Jaylen wat yeah I mean the problem with
W I mean we’ll see what happens with AJ brown but you know Jay uh but Devonte Smith is tied to a mediocre QB that it’s a little bit in disarray the Eagles are in a transition and and uh AJ you know and if if AJ Brown’s back and gotd her it’s just like
Crowded plus they like to run the ball it’s it’s not ideal and W same thing Tyreek the the alpha there and they like to run the ball and do all the sorts of trickery and you just don’t see Wadd getting the 160 targets you know that whereas Collins in a full season could
Be the the wide receiver one on a top three and NFL quarterback and could get 160 Targets in a full season right he could do that yeah and then be you know that dominant you know that c lamb the CD lamb season is what you want right
The absolute dominant Alpha you know on a team that that’s passed first um that’s that’s what he there is upside for that so um I get it uh but because he’s just done it over a smaller sample than those guys and doesn’t have the pedigree there’s there’s also more
Chance of bust so yeah but you always talk about it’s not just the size of the sample it’s a magnitude the guy had two 200 yard games yeah no it looks like he’s the real deal and physically he’s the real thing so and he was injured first couple years and playing with
Davis Mills all those things so and the other player since and we’ll go back to um n is the other one right n there you go you know what I’m saying I have Miss wide receiver F uh six Naka yeah I could see it I mean i’ have to look at it you
Know I you know lamb Jefferson Chase Tyreek and Chase or the big four right and ra I’m putting a Big Five in there okay so five okay and then and then after that you know puka it could be puka it could be AJ Brown it could be Wilson Wilson but I think Garrett
Wilson’s getting a little speculative right now because we just don’t know what the you know where Rogers is gonna be in the Jets and all that so good we’re in line here then so yeah so we agree the big three and then like the let’s call them the little two with uh
Chase and Aman ra well oh no okay right Tyreek so there’s a big four and then a little one and then this puka belong right so I think he does so he he’s the guy I mean he passes the eye test he makes plays he doesn’t drop passes he
Doesn’t lose focus you know I mean you’ll see in the big game he’ll come down full speed with that pass it’s not like he’s you know he’s cool he’s he’s fine you know did you see like uh yeah I mean there’s no question at this point
It’s not even like a doubt in anyone’s mind that he’s the number one and Cooper cup is like the onea or the two it’s not even like that’s Robert Wood’s territory there you go I like that that’s a great comp all right back to um divisional
Round uh I I mean everyone thinks this is going to be the best game obviously the line uh indicates that you have Kansas City going into Buffalo two and a half here um I mean my thought was just take the points right but I that’s just
Like a reflexive I haven’t put my wager down yet is that how you’re seeing it or is Buffalo just too hot right now and momes doesn’t have enough support well I went in on the Chiefs that was my main thing for that postseason was get Mahomes he’s going to be low owned he’s
7% can you imagine that in the postseason contest pie Josh Allen uh Lamar they’re all uh more Dak they were all more owned than him I think maybe even H I don’t know maybe not hurts but all these guys are more owned than than momes you’re talking about like the
Greatest quarterback of this generation and he’s 7% in a 2qb playoff contest where you get points for going a long way so that was my play so my whole thing was I don’t know if the Chiefs are going to beat Buffalo but it’s got to be
Close to 5050 and the line reflects that and I think that the chief’s defense is way better than buffalo’s defense Buffalo has some injuries on defense too the Chiefs have like a top five defense in the NFL right now they are one of the best defenses in the NFL and so you know
You got uh Rashid rice who’s you know come on as like a legit you know receiver Kelce needs to wake the up I mean that’s the thing they need to have Kelce you know I don’t know how many injections he’s had or the Taylor Swift thing or whatever is you know
Going on the scop that they’re running uh but that dude needs to beat Travis Kelce because that’s the missing thing if they have rasid rice playing at his level and they had Kelsey playing at his level that’s all they need the compou bettery guys can do their thing that’s
Fine you know Pacho is solid whatever um but if they have that the Chiefs I think are easily capable of winning obviously this game’s in Buffalo but the Cold’s not gonna you know be an issue for either team and I think that the Chiefs
I I like the Chiefs I like the Chiefs to uh to win that game but I’m not like you know Josh Allen’s still really good and and and you know Buffalo’s got a problem too like Diggs hasn’t been the dominant factor that he was and I think that was
Um that was a thing where like Diggs is gonna light you up and if he’s not you know Josh Allen has to he ran for 52 yards and a touchdown in that game they didn’t dominate Pittsburgh you know Mason rudoff through that pick when they’re down 14- nothing you know they
Lost by 14 but it wasn’t like they weren’t like totally out of that game with like a crap offense they they they ran on them a bit Steelers and like I don’t know it just seemed like I think she will probably win yeah now at least
Uh oh by the way the the Buffalo lost a couple defensive players too which are in that game yeah key guys yeah yeah key guys so that’s that’s an interesting point too um I thought the line was going to be three I mean two and a half
Is a little different obviously it’s the the push factor so yeah it’s money line Chiefs for me as well um I could I me I mean two and a half is is sort of like the default now it used to be three when
You go on the road but two and a half is sort of equal teams but in the others venue yeah but the two right if the Chiefs are going to win they’re not going to lose they’re they’re not going to lose by one I mean obviously they
Could but I I’ll take I’ll just take the point conversions and there you go we’re in a different world the whole three being the sacred number it still matters but it’s not as big of a deal in a world where one team goes for two you know
It’s like all of a sudden all those scores and like your those pools where you have to get the exact what are those called the squares pools where you get like I got zero and three I’m so happy I got eight and five the boxes oh I’m
Screwed well it’s a lot less like that now with the two-point conversions right used to get what the two numbers eight and five were a death sentence and now they’re in play now you can do it you know so um so yeah would you rather take
The plus two and a half with the Chiefs or the plus 130 on the on the ml um I think I’d probably do money line uh but actually I’d probably do one of each I I do think there’s a really good chance the Bills win by like a point I
Think this is going to come down you know I think this game could easily come down to whoever has the ball last and it’s a field goal and they may be down one and they kick the field goal to win by two I mean I think that I think that
The those points May well be relevant well let me Al maybe this will change your mind and this is one is for the uh the the the more than casual gamblers here just this one the the plus two and a half the points line uh list is plus
100 so it’s even money you don’t have to pay the minus 110 oh people are betting the bills so so you’re bills areus 120 right now even money plus two and a half is great I’ll probably take that okay so back to uh normal football all right so
I think that concludes our football discussion um I I saw I’ve been I’ve been refreshing your podcast feed to see when it’s going it sounds like it’s finally yeah finally finally I wish that it was up before we did this podcast well actually I I I was doing it I was
About to hit send and then I went and did something else I had to go out so these are excuses to me this doesn’t help my prep well well here’s the thing I was do I went to the uh like there’s this like CH outdoor chin up and like
Push-up like this area where you do dips and stuff this like outdoor like workout place and I went there I’m starting to do that so I had to nice getting ripped I like it hey that um before we get into what’s going on on uh the chrysis podcast and your new Twitter
Experiment and all that stuff um was the picture that you posted on your ex account of that meat was that like generic picture or is that something that you actually ate that’s something I ate but that wasn’t this week that was the summer in France nice fatty meat
There I liked it oh rare so rare and they but it’s such high quality grass-fed in that was in the Alps like we drove up was it beef or was it like sheep or beef and it was like this amazing restaurant I should like post some photos like it’s up in the
Mountains like in the very like in the Alps and they just like they they have great wine although I’m not really Booz in these days but back then I was and and they bring out like these giant plates of meat that they cook over the
Fire it’s amazing so yeah we do um 100% grass-fed organic too there’s if because I know you talk about a lot on your podcast and some of your uh followers may not understand where to go get that there’s actually mail water stuff we go us Wellness is a good one and butcher
Box has grass-fed so there’s way to like just get it delivered to your home as well you know yeah I would I would do that over the Whole Foods you know I don’t trust Whole Foods you know as much and like you know and and if you have a
Local guy who could deliver that you know but that’s hard in a lot of places you know yeah yeah um so the Twitter thing so here’s I’ll tell let me quick promo first just want everyone if you want to go check out uh Chris List’s content it’s over at real man sports.com

Stuff and then obviously premium content for Fantasy Football all right we’re going to switch topics now off of football uh list just to refresh anyone new to the podcast you have um let’s say had a cold warm cold relationship with Twitter with X your only on once a week
Now what’s what’s happening what’s changing so I started posting more and uh and part of the reason is I do feel like an nutless monkey because I wanted these rants about it but you know just just true I gotta own it uh that uh I feel like that you know when when he
Hired Lind yak arino and was like oh freedom of speech yeah isn’t freedom of reach and you know and I was like that’s just some orwellian you know to stifle speech and why is he bringing in this wef um you know ad sales person it’s really why couldn’t he hire someone
Else and so I was kind of soured on it I’m like he’s full of and he might be still I’m not saying he’s not but thus far I do feel like you know the tide is turning a lot in terms of what people can say what can be discussed
Openly and a lot of that’s because Twitter is not censoring and so you know major things happened like the whole scandal at Harvard would have been buried I think except for Twitter and I think this is a force for the good and so I you know paid for the check um I
Also did it because I wanted to post longer things and there was no way to do it without that and just to sort of you know you have the uh the European commission with these nutless monkey I told you right the pussification of pussification Terry Britton was trying
To like shut him down and do all the so I’m like all I’ll subscribe because they’re trying to do that so now that I’m doing it I’m like all right fine I’m in on this and if and if he you know somehow um you know goes the other
Direction then I can always cancel they’re actually pretty good about like letting you know your renewals up and all that and then uh but I’m think of maybe doing a real man Sports account because the problem is I often want to post about sports the same reason I have
Two you know websites I have real mansports.com and Chris list.com it’s very hard to talk about like biomedical authoritarianism and how serious that is and how nutless people like in my industry were and how cowardly they were and were calling for you know oh the if you don’t take this injection you
Shouldn’t be allowed to travel these are people in the industries you know shut the up like you know you you you don’t know anything about anything and now you’re like you know advocating for your neighbor to be coerced into taking uh chemicals against his will just shut
The up you guys are such idiots right and and these people and I’m posting about stuff like that okay and then it’s very hard to like pivot and be like hey uh you know Tony Pard is a bust this week yeah or or or Tom Savage how barbaric the quarterback play you know
That’s it just doesn’t go with what I’m I’m serious like I’m I’m not cool with what happened like people like oh it’s over Dude relax I WR whole post on this oh what over really are the people who did everything still in power yes they are the people who locked you down who
Coerced you to take medicine you didn’t want yeah they’re still in power have the people who went along with it those nutless monkeys some of whom were my former you know industry people nobody rootwire but you know people have they been repentant are they sorry no they’re
Not sorry at all you know have they apologized no they haven’t apologized would they do it again if they were incentivized similarly I think they would you know so there’s has there been Justice For The Architects of the of the uh gain of function research know there
Hasn’t so I’m not letting this go until that stuff is no longer true and so you know I’m serious I’m pissed I’m still pissed I you know just because you’re not being abused this second doesn’t mean what happened is cool just because it’s not happening to you right this
Moment doesn’t mean it’s cool that I wasn’t allowed in a restaurant or wasn’t able to travel so I’m I’m still enraged and I’m Gonna Keep on this and I’m not going to let them off the hook and you’re gonna hear from me and if you you
Know you don’t have to if you if you mute me or whatever that’s fine but so long as I’m you know have the space to say something those guys they’re going to repent because I feel like that kind of behavior if it goes without being accounted for is going to breed more
Tyranny more totalitarianism more other people telling you how you have to be what you have to do what you can eat where you can travel and it’s just not their business it’s not you know they are not the master of me I’m the boss of
Myself you know and I reject all of that I reject them supporting what they supported and so I’m going to go on about that but I love sports and I watch sports so I’m like all right I need a separate venue for this because it just
You can’t just be talking you know back to back you know as you said like look look what a bust Tony par it is the next thing you’re talking about biomedical totalitarianism it just it’s just too jarring you know the ven diagram crosses over with Aaron roggers
Right like that’s the crossover to the two sure and I would tweet about both you know in both cases and that’s totally fine but you know if your sports account tweeting about some Rogers stuff and I will and Carissa Thompson and that whole you know the joke that
People are getting outraged about that I mean these nut monkeys right oh I don’t talk politics I’m into sports I I kind of stay out of it oh yeah well when Trump was President I don’t even like Trump all you did was talk about Trump
All you did was talk about you know what a virt signning little good boy you were because you hated Trump and you talked about it and you were willing to talk about it just because everybody you figured agreed with you who might promote you who might be following you
And now there’s actual like you know they didn’t let you leave your house they didn’t well that was Trump’s fault too but they didn’t let you get on an airplane they didn’t let you um go to a restaurant unless you were uh biomedically compliant with pharmaceutical chemicals oh and your
Crickets Not only was crickets first you advocated for that and now now that the tides turn and people are like oh that didn’t even work it’s got horrible side effects oh where are you where are you where are you in my mentions giving me free health advice what happened to
You where did you go yeah oh you’re not going to tell me what to do with my health you don’t know better than me anymore what happened I got all this free health advice where did it go so I’m still pissed right you know where they are L they’re they’re out there
Yelling in about you know the Israeli Palestinian conflict now I don’t know what side they’re on but they’re yelling about something I don’t even know if they are I I think a lot of those people are like just like rigidly sticking to football and acting like all that
Stuff’s you know that’s that’s in the past and let’s memory hold this let’s memory hold the stances I took they were so sure why were they sure just because everyone else agreed and think about how that kind of mindset they’re going to agree with the crowd wherever there’s a
Consequence for going against it right so you know I mean the these people they don’t think for themselves their critical thinking was completely uh put on hold um due to incentives and you know I don’t know I’m I’m like embarrassed for them and and I just feel
Like um I I don’t like I actually don’t like seeing people who I do respect who weren’t like that um sort of still acting like those people it’s cool right it’s cool no those people are intolerant right imagine if someone’s intolerant you know about race or about um sex you
Know sexual orientation or gender and was being nasty to people on that basis you wouldn’t tolerate them you wouldn’t go and podcast with them like everything’s cool but people are doing it like oh you were trying to put these people you were trying to tell people make people into second class citizens
Based on what pharmaceutical compliance do you realize what a psychopath you were when the government and and these phony uh doctors with bow ties are coming in telling people you know where they could go which is totally a violation of their rights as Citizens and you’re going along with that stuff
And you’re acting like oh I memory hold that I don’t remember what my stance was it’s shameful it’s truly shameful and I think think the people should not be treating it like it was anything different yeah the only thing and again this is not a defense of the the person
That you’re talking about the people you’re talking about but the uh the media did a great job of scaring people into that now I think your true personality is going to come out no matter what but if there’s any like logic or Reason To That St the extreme
Stance I remember I remember in March of 2020 I was scared you know for I felt for it for six months but I never was like you I need to take away your rights you know I was never like you need to wear your mask and I’m you know I never
Ever did that because rights are for when people are scared that’s the reason rights exist you don’t need rights if nobody’s scared if nobody’s scared of you um you can walk down the street nobody’s gonna bother you but if all of a sudden people are scared of you and
They want to arrest you just for being there um that’s when you need to say hey you don’t have the right to do that right like I have rights and so the scar thing is one thing but okay fine let’s say they fell for it not just the way I
Fell for it but like fell for even like oh we need to suspend rights because it’s so scary why can’t you repent why can’t you say you know what I got caught up in a Mania I got caught up in a Mania you know was it was shameful that I I
Got caught up in it I apologize it was I I I thought I was a stronger person a better person than that I wasn’t and I’m you know I’m really Reckoning with that fine no problem you’re forgiven you know we make mistakes we’re all we’re all
Susceptible to it I’m not I’m not a perfect person okay um but there’s just no zero zero uh Contrition for how they behave 0.0 there are people ceasing XM and RotoWire when I was making a tweet about how outar masking creeps me out and I feel like these people are like in
Some kind of cult it creeps me out they’re accusing me of killing people and ceasing my work did I get an apology zero and me I was lucky I was a partner we sold the company I was fine I was the lucky one there were people they were
Doing that to who you know they did have repercussions with their jobs they did uh get censored into silence they did speak their minds you know and so you know this is shameful and I feel like the Reckoning hasn’t even begun and you know and I’m telling you when I see you
Friend of mine person I respect pading around with those guys like I’m like oh that’s that’s an instance of low standards like I’m you know I’m not gonna go and like rat you out to anybody or like do anything but I think that’s low standards like you shouldn’t you
Know you should you should realize like if that person had said something racist or homophobic you wouldn’t just be doing that and the only reason you’re doing that even though their same you know the sort of scapegoat Instinct was the same for this person they they would have
Done it in any uh era where you were allowed to scapegoat those people is that it’s socially acceptable in your circles that they’re still socially acceptable in your circles and so your morality is not based on how they treat people your morality is based on what
Everyone thinks and I feel like that’s a low standard I think you have to have a higher standard where you say is this person you know somebody who’s bullying on behalf of the authoritarians against people who can be bullied who the state is encouraging you to bully as they did
In every era uh where that was the case or is this person um someone who would be like no I wouldn’t do that right or is this person contrite and I just feel like um that’s how I feel about it and I’m like I’m gonna be relentless like
You know you should unfollow me or mute me because because I’m not going to stop talking about this until there’s a reckoning and if there’s never a reckoning I’m just never gonna stop and I’m never gonna stop coming after them like that’s it like you got got you did
It I see right I told you that story about the guy with who who hit me in La uh fender bender and he’s and I took his insurance and I was nice to him because he was scared and he was I was so pissed and that dude ditched and didn’t call
His insurance company I tracked that dude for six months I called the Texas DMV I got somebody that I called his ex-girlfriend who got his mail and she hated him too and she gave me where he was working at a Trader Joe and I in fronted him in the supermarket six
Months later and I got in his face and I threatened him and that paid my thing finally finally paid six months later after I was nice to him I’m not GNA let this go did you know the orbits story I made orbits pay me I’m gonna this is not GNA something I’m
Going to let go and it’s not you know you’re the least of it you know the losers who were like in my mentions talking you’re the least of it right the the fouches and the gates and the people who like actually created a virus in a lab and paid for it those
People they’re going to have a reckoning you know and I’m not one person I have millions who feel this way Millions you can’t let this go what they did to society what they did to your family what they did to people you love people your your friends my family took the
Freaking shot everybody you know I mean come on like this is I’m never going to let this go never you know not immediate not my Nuclear but I’m never going to let this go never right so like you you’re in for a losing battle right like
Like I this is just like I like you’re just never going to escape that you’re just not like and there’s other people feel way I’m gonna encourage everybody to be like there needs to be a reckoning then you move on once there’s a reckoning okay they apologize they
Understand why it was wrong these people went to prison these people got worse than prison because of the sentence was that bad what they did and now we’re good now we move on now we forget it now we talk about football now we talk about uh Tom Savage’s barbaric QB play so when
Are you going to name the names of the people that did this to you oh I’m not naming specific names of the losers who did it to me because that’s like you know the punching down of you know the the punching Down’s okay though I think
Punching Down’s okay in in my some comes into my Twitter in my mentions I’ll make an example of them but I don’t want to even credit those people because none of them individually mattered none of them did it’s it to me it’s basically like everybody saw what happened everybody
Understands you know who was sort of for the authoritarians and who was like Hey calm down you know you might not have spoken out but there were a lot of people who just you know they weren’t gonna persecute people just because they were allowed to so understand the
Pettiness and I don’t I feel like I don’t want to give people publicity who don’t deserve it I like they’re literally beneath me and some of them I literally like xed out of my existence but that’s why it’s called X right because you can M Block you could always
Have done that I’m probably mut and blocked by a lot of people but I you know again I I just don’t think people are truly aware and and again I’m not alone like I talk to people there are millions of people who feel this way that like we’re not like in denial about
What happened we’re completely cognizant and anyone who actually opens up and isn’t in denial of what happened would never let something like that go people won’t let go if you insult them on Twitter like they’ll be they’ll hold a grudge against you for the rest of your
Life rest of their lives and yet this is like a trillion times bigger and they’re like they’re they can’t it’s too big for them to to deal with and uh and but you know too bad you know that it’s going to be this way I had another topic which by
The way I’m crossing off my show outline right now because I should have you know this is bad Planning by me because it it’s so can’t can’t follow it up yeah no can’t follow that but I’ll tell you what it was anyway but by the way Bravo Standing Ovation I’m sure the audience
Right now just I’m just telling the truth as it is I’m not trying to not trying I’m not performing you know I’m just honestly it’s how I feel like you you with the wrong guy you with the wrong guy like the all of those you know whatever the plan is
For oh you’re gonna have your carbon tracked and N blah you’re with the wrong guy okay I’m just telling you you’re with the wrong guy I’m not around okay like you you do that I’m going to use whatever resources I have to make sure that there’s you are
Held to account I’m just I’m not I’m not kidding you know and that’s just how I feel you know that’s 100% how I feel yeah I can just see this now like this is the the Twitter rant and then all of a sudden it’s like yeah and Tony Pard is
Not a good pick in the third round that’s why I’m think you think I should do that start the start a new account for real well I’ll tell you because this is all social media right like even you know i’ I’ve broken out like basketball from our Fantasy main sport fantasy
Sports channel and now both channels are growing because you know what I’m saying like I am I’m going to have to make two um YouTube channels for redraft and Dynasty fantasy football everything is becoming so niched down now there was a time where you could have it all in one
Now Ro of wi like with their website of course you click on the tab you want with the support you want that’s fine but when you’re talking about social media Twitter uh Facebook uh Instagram all this stuff needs to be niched down to like the micro level because someone
Who’s there for this is not there for that and if they are then they can check up both channel so you were uh you’re talking about a trend that’s already well in process and the the social media content creators that are growing are niching down and separating their
Channels yeah I mean I starting from zero want it’s more complicated for me but it just it’s just that it two channels not that complicated no well I have noer also which I’m posting on but I just I I’m using it is sort of like
Make one post paste it on both you know like have both uh things going so again we won’t talk about this but the other topic that I was going to talk about just you know I don’t want to leave the audience hanging was um the peacock game
And the business sort of of streaming um but that’s fine for another day I didn’t even I don’t even deal with it because my My Game Pass just covers everything like it I don’t I don’t have to you know it was a big sort of issue in here and
Um all right man well that’s it uh go follow Chris Liss uh over at real mansports.com uh I’m Allen sislowski on all social media and we’ll see you next week with another uh mostly football podcast and some other stuff as usual see you next time
