Speaker 4 (02:55):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (02:55):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (02:57):
On the social media, is it the great one?
Speaker 5 (03:01):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (03:01):
And Sager Patel and of course on the our man
Steve Disager. All right, Rob, let's get into it. I
don't know, Rob, do we have the quote? Is there
sound of mahomes or is this a?
Speaker 6 (03:19):
Was this a the quote?
Speaker 8 (03:21):
It was given to NFL Networks Jeff Darlington. I had
the editing staff effort to find some sound. They could
not find it. But I do have the quote you
are referring to christ m Sorry.
Speaker 6 (03:29):
Okay, why don't you read us it to us?
Speaker 1 (03:32):
This is from two time MVP, two times Super Bowl champion,
pretty much very widely regarded as the best quarterback. Not
every no, but widely regarded as the best quarterback in
the league. That means there's a few exceptions, but very few.
But anyway, here's Patrick mahomes on being.
Speaker 4 (03:51):
A villain, that's right.
Speaker 8 (03:53):
Jeff Darlington asked him if he senses that he's become
a villain to other fan bases, specifically in comparison to
the Patriots and how they were considered villains during their
run with Tom Brady and Bill Belichick. Patrick Mahomes quote,
I can definitely sense it. I never felt like that
because I've never been like that in my entire life.
But it's become a little bit funny. I don't want
(04:15):
to say you enjoy it. I know the Patriots had
that for a while. I hope we do any different
way with a little bit more fun and personality. But
as long as you keep winning, teams start to not
like you, and I want to keep winning. So if
that means some of the other teams other fan bases
aren't gonna like me, I'll still try to have a
smile on my face and I'd be a bad example.
But I can be that villain for them if they
(04:37):
need me to be.
Speaker 7 (04:39):
The biggest non story and fake narrative I've ever heard
in NFL Super Bowl history. Wow, the Kansas City Chiefs
are not the bad guys or villains. Can we stop?
The Patriots had a lot of reasons why you didn't
like them. Okay, starting with the cheating. Okay, Chris, can
(05:00):
we start?
Speaker 5 (05:01):
They'll do it.
Speaker 7 (05:02):
That'll do it where you want to cheat Some fan
bases as the Raiders with the tuck rule, right, Rob
g that's why you hate the Patriots. They cheated. How
about Bill Belichick. That's a rosy guy that you want
to hang out with, or you think he's a cool guy. No,
(05:23):
all shuck's Tom Brady. He's another guy make you want
to throw up in your mouth. Wow, just wit just
the way here? Yeah, all right, some people, not everybody,
like you said, not everybody, but this notion that the
Kansas City Chiefs are the bad guys. They got a
coaching and Andy Reid who lost so many big games
(05:46):
people couldn't even count. They look at Andy Reid and
they think he's a Pillsbury dough boy and they want
to push their finger into his stomach. They don't look
at that guy as a bad guy. They want to
pass them the menu at Denny's. That's what they want
to do to any Weed. They don't hate Andy Weed
(06:11):
and Prodrick Mahomes.
Speaker 5 (06:13):
He hasn't won every game.
Speaker 7 (06:14):
They lost the Super Bowl the day that Patrick Mahomes
has done nothing to anybody, Chris, He's a talented quarterback.
Speaker 5 (06:23):
They've won a couple of Super Bowls. Yes, they've gone
to the Super Bowl four to five years.
Speaker 7 (06:28):
I understand maybe that jealousy, maybe a little jealousy, but
hate the Kansas City Chiefs preposterous, dumb, lazy, really, that
that's the narrative going on, that they're the villains. I
don't buy that for one second, that the Kansas City
(06:49):
Chiefs or some villain of the NFL.
Speaker 5 (06:52):
I don't.
Speaker 1 (06:54):
They're not the quote unquote evil empire, right like the
Yankees have been as disliked as the Patriots were, and
like you said, there were reasons for the Patriots. Chiefs
they're not view like the Miami Heat were when Lebron
(07:16):
and Wade and Bosh first teamed up. But Rob, I
do since a growing, if not dislike.
Speaker 6 (07:29):
Pulling against the Chiefs.
Speaker 1 (07:32):
I do feel like there is a growing group of
fans throughout the country pulling against the Chiefs.
Speaker 6 (07:40):
They are not beloved.
Speaker 1 (07:42):
Obviously some people love them outside of Kansas City, but
they are not just beloved like say the Jordan Bulls were,
And there is like there were there were surveys showing
the overwhelming majority of people were pulling for Baltimore, just
outside the Baltimore and Kansas City, pulling for them to
(08:03):
beat the Chiefs. And I think, as you said, Andy
Reid very likable, Patrick Mahomes very likable, Travis Kelsey dating
Taylor Swift like all of that. But I think it
stems from people just tiring of the winning. Like if
(08:24):
they win it this year and the heck they've gotten
to the super Bowl at the very least, then if
your other AFC fan bases, you're like, man, when are
we gonna get to the Super Bowl?
Speaker 4 (08:35):
This year?
Speaker 6 (08:35):
They were eleven and six, they.
Speaker 1 (08:37):
Played five hundred football for the second half of the season.
They the offense wasn't close to what it used to be,
and they still got to the Super Bowl. I think
that's what it is. And yeah, Joe Burrow on the
Bengals beat them once. They've been the four out of
the last five Super Bowls, So I agree. It's not
(08:57):
a hatred because they're unlike likable in any sort of way.
But I do feel like people are tiring of them
winning it and just feeling like, how in the world
are we gonna beat them? And it's our rob because
it's very different from as I mentioned, the Jordan Bulls.
They were generally beloved all over.
Speaker 6 (09:19):
The country, not in Detroit. That's yeah, right, because they.
Speaker 7 (09:25):
Bad boys people who have never worn of Jordan's or
won't buy him in Detroit.
Speaker 5 (09:30):
You know that over that they hated Michael Jordan.
Speaker 1 (09:33):
I believe that, but they're They're in the overwhelming minority,
and get over it.
Speaker 6 (09:37):
You're jealous souls look at anyway.
Speaker 5 (09:39):
But you use the right word jealous, and that's what.
Speaker 7 (09:43):
There's a difference between being jealous and hating the Kansas
City Chiefs. If you want to say, Chris, there are
some teams of fan bases that are jealous. I'll buy that.
But I don't think that anybody hates the chief But
I think I agree that they're not just likable.
Speaker 1 (10:00):
In fact, I would look at them and think, why
can't they be like you know, if they keep winning,
why can't they be like.
Speaker 6 (10:05):
The Jordan bulls.
Speaker 1 (10:06):
Mahons is exciting, he's fun, he's a good guys and
the commercials like Michael Jordan used to be.
Speaker 6 (10:12):
The coach is likable. All of these things going on.
Speaker 1 (10:16):
But I think Rob and I give credit to Nick Wright,
my partner on First Things First, for saying this.
Speaker 6 (10:21):
I thought this was a good point.
Speaker 1 (10:23):
He said it may have come too fast. I mean,
Mahons right away as soon as he started his second year,
he was dominated through for fifty touchdowns over five thousand
yards when MVP. The next year they win the Super
Bowl with Jordan, it was you know, he didn't win
it until his seventh year, Rob and you mentioned Detroit.
(10:45):
They kept beating him, and so there was this feeling
that he had overcome and he had fought hard and
earned his strikes and you know, crawled his way to
the top of the mountain, and so when he got there,
you could feel good about it. And I wonder if
to some people at least, it feels like, man, we
never saw them struggle for the most part. I mean
(11:08):
they they, like you said, they haven't won it every year.
Excuse me, but they have become dominant in very short order.
Speaker 6 (11:16):
And I agree they're not hated, but I do say.
Speaker 1 (11:20):
The narrative are pulling against them, pulling a lot of
people are pulling against them.
Speaker 5 (11:26):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (11:26):
I think it's a jealousy factor more than anything. Again,
I just hate I just don't see it.
Speaker 5 (11:33):
I just don't. I don't. I don't feel that.
Speaker 7 (11:35):
I think there are people who really hate the Patriots,
who really feel like, you know, they they they got stuff,
they're cheating we don't even know the scope of their cheating.
Speaker 5 (11:45):
Like we know a little bit, but if we were
to pull a curtain.
Speaker 7 (11:48):
Back, Chris, it would be really bad and we'd be like,
oh my god, it was worse than we ever thought.
I think there are people who will never give the
Patriots their full credit, their full due because they don't
feel like it was above board the entire way and
that and that says something they should be celebrated. Really
(12:08):
if this was patriots, no right, if the Patriots had
done it.
Speaker 1 (12:13):
But there are people that dislike them, but they not
that those are those cheating alligators or not even allegations,
just scandals.
Speaker 5 (12:21):
They did, they got, they got.
Speaker 6 (12:23):
That has not stopped.
Speaker 1 (12:24):
Most people from saying Brady's the goat, or most people
from Sam Belichick's to go.
Speaker 7 (12:29):
Well.
Speaker 5 (12:29):
I think there's still they very celebrated who.
Speaker 7 (12:32):
Are looking at it and they don't They probably should
be celebrated more to me, And I just think it's
the underlying thing that eventually will find out. There'll be
some other I'm just waiting for, you know, I'm waiting
for the book the full scope. Eric Mangini gave us
a taste, but there's a book out there.
Speaker 5 (12:49):
That I want to read.
Speaker 6 (12:51):
Why don't you write it?
Speaker 5 (12:54):
Michael Holly, He's the one Michael Holly up there in Boston.
Speaker 1 (12:58):
He's written several he had written that. Yeah, but those
are all speculating. Those are all cotton candy books.
Speaker 5 (13:05):
That he speculating. Of course, I'm just speculing. I don't
have anything, you know. That's why I said I can't
write anything. I'm in LA.
Speaker 6 (13:12):
So you're speculating that there's more out there.
Speaker 5 (13:15):
Yeah, that's all. I don't have any.
Speaker 6 (13:18):
See, Let's see what the listeners think.

Speaker 5 (15:06):
You're in the couple of Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 11 (15:08):
What up, Marty, Well, fellas, I know it's Magic City Monday.
But Rob, I have to ask you to behave in Vegas.
Speaker 5 (15:17):
Oh no, I'm a bacab, I am. I'm just Marty.
Speaker 1 (15:21):
Last time we were together, last time we were together
at the super Bowl.
Speaker 6 (15:26):
In fact, every time we're together at the super Bowl.
Speaker 1 (15:29):
So Rob and myself and Rob Gen, we'll all go
out to.
Speaker 6 (15:33):
Dinner, you know, and by the time we're done eaton.
Speaker 1 (15:35):
I mean, you know, the show goes till seven Pacific,
So we're at we're done around ten, you know, and
we all go back to the hotel. We get in
our in the elevator, we go up to our rooms.
Rob acts like he's going to his room, and then
he'll while we go into our rooms, He'll like, come
(15:57):
back to the elevator, get in and who.
Speaker 6 (16:00):
Knows where, but all of his expenses. You have thousands
of dollars in expenses and supers at midnight that anne
of us have. So I don't know what Rob is up.
Speaker 5 (16:12):
Money shot take no lives there.
Speaker 11 (16:16):
I had to take no I live in an area
of the country that no one really there's no there's
no home team, and everybody kind of picks their own team.
There's just not a team very close. So there's a
lot of varying opinions. And going into last well week
(16:37):
before last AFC Conference Championship game, you know, of course
I was cheering for Kansas City because they were playing
a Steelers rival, the Steelers rival, So all week long,
people are like, who you got, I'm all Kansas City,
can't City. They go, I'm not betting to get my homes.
I'm cheering for Kansas City. And people are like why,
why are you cheering for Kansas City? And I'm like why,
(16:59):
and I kept here I hate Kansas City. I'm like why.
I'm tired of them winning. So they are slowly becoming
Vielins even though they've done nothing. Now I ask you
a question. I know the Patriots gave you reasons that
if the Patriots are cheated and never won, nobody would
even talk about it. You gotta win to be hated.
Speaker 6 (17:18):
No, there's I agree with everything you said.
Speaker 5 (17:22):
I don't disagree with that.
Speaker 6 (17:23):
Yeah, I agree with everything you.
Speaker 1 (17:24):
Said, and I would rob why do you want they
wouldn't be viewed like the Bulls. You got a transcendent
quarterback star like you have. Jordan was a transcendent star.
Speaker 5 (17:39):
You know, the Bulls never lost.
Speaker 6 (17:44):
I think it was Jordan's.
Speaker 7 (17:46):
But I'm just saying when when you never lose, there's
something about like they never saw you.
Speaker 6 (17:51):
Lose lose before they got there.
Speaker 7 (17:54):
On the bigger stage, though, I just think that there's
something about Jordan's.
Speaker 6 (17:58):
And the winning as he's just yeah, everybody love me.
Speaker 5 (18:03):
Yeah, there's just something about it.
Speaker 7 (18:04):
Charles in Washington, you're in the odd couple Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 5 (18:08):
What's up, Charles?
Speaker 12 (18:10):
What's up? How y'all doing?
Speaker 3 (18:11):
Man so good?
Speaker 6 (18:12):
How are you?
Speaker 11 (18:14):
Great man?
Speaker 4 (18:15):
Great man?
Speaker 12 (18:15):
Got to be on with y'all Man, you got just
you guys have Oscar sho. I appreciate y'all.
Speaker 5 (18:18):
Man on.
Speaker 12 (18:22):
MA Homes gets the hate for I mean for different reasons,
but to me, it's it's opened everything. You know, they've
been winning so much. You know, he looks the way
he looks me personally.
Speaker 1 (18:31):
What you wait, wait, you said he looks the way
he looks What does that mean?
Speaker 12 (18:36):
They get some of the same hay to step Kurry
gets with the Warriors, man, you know tea, Like I said,
I'm t my skin because I'm somewhere between like Robert
org and you Chris honestly, like the shade is like
and if summertime I'm more like Jim Jackson Robert or
in the winter time when I get no sunshine, I'm
more like he. I'm watch staffs like I go from
carrym out to corn Throup.
Speaker 6 (18:54):
That's what rob Where are you at on that?
Speaker 13 (18:57):
You?
Speaker 6 (18:58):
You? You hate? You? Do you think that's a factor
because he's light skinned?
Speaker 4 (19:02):
No, No, I just don't.
Speaker 5 (19:04):
He could be small.
Speaker 12 (19:05):
Degreas small kness blah, Robbie right by Jordan because Jordan's
what I was about. Jordan especially can put the Yoka's dog.
The winning is the winning. But he was so smooth
with him, man like the way he moved like that
he had a combination of about leticism.
Speaker 11 (19:18):
Plus it was.
Speaker 7 (19:19):
Hard not like and he had and he had so
much he had, He had so much swagger. He made
having the ball head look good like Chris. There was
so many things about him for real. And Michael Jordan
was a dark skinned guy, you know what I mean.
He wasn't like some fly guy.
Speaker 1 (19:36):
You know what everybody says he made dark he made
Dark Skinned Brothers, put.
Speaker 6 (19:42):
Dark Brothers in style. Bet No, I mean he he
had I think I think Person one. I guess it's arguable.
Speaker 1 (19:53):
I think he had the best looking game in the
NBA history. The better I mean, I guess some people
might try to argue, I don't know Kyrie or but
Jordan's game was just Doctor j.
Speaker 6 (20:03):
Obviously is up there. Jordan's game, Yeah, Donald Man.
Speaker 5 (20:10):
Thanks, thanks, Charles. We're appreciating the shoes and the shoes
and and and to this day, still twenty five years.
Speaker 6 (20:17):
I think they're there. I don't think there's a doubt.
Speaker 4 (20:19):
Rob.
Speaker 6 (20:20):
They're more popular now, they're more popular they weren't in
the retro.
Speaker 2 (20:24):
Jordan.
Speaker 7 (20:25):
Oh yeah, big time. Mark and Sacramento. Man, Mark, you're
on the odd couple of Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 5 (20:30):
What's up? What's going on?
Speaker 11 (20:32):
What's going on, gentlemen, what's up?
Speaker 5 (20:34):
Money? It's the shoes.
Speaker 2 (20:39):
So that's a big part of it because of the
coach of the shoes created.
Speaker 11 (20:42):
Not to say Michael Jordan was Michael Jordan.
Speaker 12 (20:44):
We all know that, but you have to add the
culture part of the shoes kind of like Ellens in
this culture part of his dress.
Speaker 13 (20:52):
He changed me how you dressed?
Speaker 6 (20:54):
Yep, the corn rows.
Speaker 11 (20:56):
You know.
Speaker 5 (20:56):
You know what's crazy though, is when the tattoo thing.
Speaker 7 (20:59):
When I remember when I when I remember tattoos, it
would be on like biker white guys, you know, bikers, right, plumbers,
guys in the in the navy or something like that's
a war tattoos, you know what I mean, Like I
don't remember. That's strange that that became such a thing,
but it still is big.
Speaker 6 (21:18):
I mean, obviously people are getting tattoos.
Speaker 7 (21:20):
Yeah, go ahead, mark your thought on Are they hated
or just they're just jealousy.
Speaker 4 (21:27):
I think there's a.
Speaker 12 (21:28):
Lot of jealousy because it's hard to hate a guy
who sounds like coming to fall. He does, and it's jealousy.
Speaker 5 (21:39):
That's what I think it is.
Speaker 12 (21:41):
Have some assholes to be to be, you know, to
be you know, feelings good guys.
Speaker 7 (21:48):
One hundred percent, thanks Mark, one hundred percent, Chris.
Speaker 5 (21:51):
That there they are.
Speaker 7 (21:53):
You might not want to see all the time, but
it's gotta be jealousy.
Speaker 5 (21:57):
Like I get on your team, you.
Speaker 6 (21:58):
Want your team to win, you want somebody else to win.
Speaker 1 (22:01):
Yep, no doubt, all right, it is the odd couple
Chris and Rob Solomon will Cox.

Can you hear me?
Speaker 5 (22:34):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (22:35):
The good to be on with you and Rob. Of course,
you guys have always been so gracious to have me
on with you sharing your platform. So uh good to
see you guys.
Speaker 1 (22:45):
Yes, absolutely, brother, great to have you on. And we
were just talking Rob and I about there seems to
be a growing sentiment of people just pulling against the Chiefs.
Patrick Mahomes was asked about it. He said, look, he'll
be the villain if he has to. Do you feel
I mean, Robin j They're not hate Patricks, They're not
(23:08):
unlikable like maybe the Patriots and some other teams have been.
But where where are you at on the Chiefs? And
do you think a lot of times a lot of
people now are starting to pull against them?
Speaker 6 (23:20):
Maybe because there's a feeling they win in too much.
Speaker 4 (23:23):
Yeah, that's just kind of the trend, right, uh. I
think professional jealousy does begin to creep in after you've
won and won and continue to win. And he's done
so at an early clip, like early in his career, right,
twenty eight years old, but yet has accomplished so much.
Speaker 5 (23:40):
But he's so.
Speaker 4 (23:42):
Wonderful, Like he has all the right answers in the
postgame press conferences. He says all the right things, he
does all the right things. He knows how to win
at clutch time, he gets to do things other quarterbacks
don't get to do, throw late over the middle of
the field, still has things workout for him, right, he
can do a show like the quarterbacks that Peyton Manning
(24:02):
did last year. He can do that in the middle
of the season, not have it distracting, and still go
on to win a Super Bowl. So I think after
a while, people do get tired of seeing the same
group of people win and they want someone else that's
new and so yeah, I think they've reached that point
of success in their career as the Kansas City chiefs
(24:23):
Andy Reid, Patrick Mahomes, Travis Kelcey, where you're starting to
the tide is kind of going against them a little bit.
I'm still for them because I love when I love excellence,
and I love to see when people do the right things.
I love to see them rewarding.
Speaker 5 (24:38):
How about if they lose.
Speaker 7 (24:39):
If they lose and they're two and two and say
everything that happened during the regular season, they were five
and five their last ten, say it catches up and
they were able to win those two playoff games. But
you look at them and go rees was some of
the issues three playoff games. These are some of the
issues that they had all year. How would you look
at what they've done in their run it's a loss
(25:00):
instead of a win coming.
Speaker 4 (25:01):
I would still say it's a dynasty.
Speaker 5 (25:05):
The house of.
Speaker 4 (25:06):
The dynasty, because they've had a high level of success
over extended period of time. You're talking still a six
year window.
Speaker 5 (25:13):
A dynasty is about winning two.
Speaker 4 (25:15):
Championships in there's two champions No, no, no, they're not two
in a row though, Solomon hold on, let me give
you my definition.
Speaker 5 (25:20):
I got you, okay, to me a dynasty, you gotta.
Speaker 7 (25:24):
Win three out of four two like you gotta win
at least two in a row, and you got to
me minus three in a row or three out.
Speaker 6 (25:34):
Of four, so you could you could have a snowbody's
won three in a row.
Speaker 7 (25:37):
No, no, no, but wait a minute when we talk about it,
but the Cowboys won three out of four and that's
the last that they're a dynasty to me, the Patriots.
When I look at teams, you know, winning, Uh, we
talk about the Spurs all the time. Oh, the Spurs
won five championships over twenty years.
Speaker 5 (25:54):
That's not a dynasty.
Speaker 6 (25:55):
You know, it's a good organization.
Speaker 5 (25:58):
No, they weren't.
Speaker 7 (25:58):
Do you think five champions on twenty.
Speaker 4 (26:02):
That's not a dynasty. They had their run. It was dynastic,
It was odd, but it ain't anasty, you know. I
think there was. I look, they were, they were the
dominant team. They were.
Speaker 5 (26:15):
They went years without winning.
Speaker 4 (26:16):
They never even went back to back. They never went
back to back. That's your I think that's your criteria.
I don't think it has to be.
Speaker 5 (26:23):
Look it up in the dictionary. I'm right.
Speaker 4 (26:25):
No, no, I'm saying they. I think even if even
if the Chiefs don't win back to back, I think
they have done it. You look at the number of
wins they have two champs, said they would have two
championships in five years, and they would have these multiple
runs dominating the AFC, but yet still getting there and
winning when they got there. It's not like they went
(26:46):
oh for like the Buffalo Bills. Right, Maybe they didn't
win your back to back, but I think they check
all the other boxes all right.
Speaker 1 (26:53):
I will also I agree with rob On that I
think they gotta win to be this dynasty.
Speaker 3 (26:57):
Now.
Speaker 1 (26:57):
If they don't win the Mahone dynasty, if you will,
it's still going. If they went well, I'm not saying
it's over, but it ain't a dynasty they lose. So Solomon,
what are your thoughts on this matchup? I, for one,
I don't know who I'm picking yet, but I think
(27:19):
I'm surprised that the Niners were favorite the way they
looked at the compared to the way the Chiefs have
looked in the playoffs.
Speaker 6 (27:27):
I think the Chiefs should be favored. But how do
you how.
Speaker 1 (27:30):
Do you assess this game and what's your feeling on
what could happen.
Speaker 4 (27:34):
I'm okay with the forty nine ers being favored. And
here is why fourth team in NFL history have a
four thousand yard passer and then four guys who've had
over a thousand yards from scrimmage. That's a potent offense now.
And it's not like they don't have a great offensive line.
They do. They can pludge in you, so they can
run it, they can throw it, and they can put
(27:55):
up a lot of big time plays and I think
they have a lot of matchup in managers. So you said, Okay,
the offense can go through Christian McCaffrey and we know
they're going to be productive. Oh no, this week, We're
offense is going to go through Deebo Samuel and they
can be productive. Oh no, this week it's gonna be
Brandon Ayyuk. They can have Kyle hus Check. Maybe won't
be the primary, but he could be a secondary guy
(28:16):
that can win his matchup. So they have multiple different
ways where they can really provide an explosive offense that
could give the Chiefs problem. So I could see them
scoring a lot of points in this game. And obviously
you got Patrick Mahomes. This guy's the grim Reaper. He
can score points and score in a hurry. So I
see it being a high scoring game. I have Kansas
(28:38):
City winning it, but that's only because I'm giving the
benefit of the doubt to what I know about Patrick Mahons.
Speaker 7 (28:45):
My thing is when you look at the forty nine Ers,
they should have lost it first two playoff games. There's
something about teams that, you know what I mean, that
can come back and win even when they're not playing great.
I mean, they should have lost to the Packers, and
definitely without Dan Campbell the line beat them.
Speaker 4 (29:00):
I mean the line you know that you know what
before that pay before that Packers game. I think under
Kyle Shanahan, his teams were thirty. We're losing by seven points,
and then they have a comfort behind wind in both
of these postseasons.
Speaker 5 (29:15):
That makes any sense, right, It's kind of weird, all right, Chris.
Speaker 7 (29:18):
We also have doctor Chad Hansen here with us as well,
and he's the Raiders team physician and doc. You and
Solomon are both your on behalf of MACY and uh
tell us about that.
Speaker 13 (29:31):
So MACY is a procedure where we can repair cartilage
injuries and knees and hopefully help people avoid future problems,
including knee replacement. So you take and you harness the
patient's own cells to grow new healthy cardilige.
Speaker 4 (29:47):
So you have to do that.
Speaker 7 (29:48):
Okay, so you you do this before you even know
that they need it, is what I'm trying to say.
Speaker 5 (29:53):
When do you start to take from them.
Speaker 13 (29:55):
So you'll see the cardilige defect on MRI and then
you'd go in do it arthroscopy or a scope is
commonly called, and there you can measure the lesion. You
can take and harvest the cartilage from that patient. You
send the cartilage off, you grow it in a lab. Wow,
and then you come back and you.
Speaker 4 (30:13):
And you seal that man cover hole. That's amazing something.
And you're using your own sales.
Speaker 5 (30:18):
That's what I'm saying. That's what I was so shocked about.
Speaker 4 (30:21):
This is what they call an atolicous science. And so
using your own sales, don't have to worry about a match.
It's been widely successful and it's it's really you probably
heard of other different procedures where they prick the bone
and they have to do other different things and that's
not long lasting. This has proven to last over time,
and again, using your own sales for healing. I don't
(30:44):
know that there's a better way.
Speaker 7 (30:47):
And that is it's unbelievable what can be done nowadays.
And how quickly people come back from injuries or whatever,
even though we never thought Aaron Rodgers was coming back.
Speaker 5 (30:57):
Despite all that, we were like, hey, no way, you
know that, Like you ain't getting back out there. You
can walk around and throw the ball all you want.
Speaker 4 (31:05):
Not from that story, not from that torn Achilles Stanton.
Now you're gonna have to go through the process. The
body is saying, there are no short cuts to being
able to heal yourself. And look, just go to the
website at Macy dot com, m Aci dot com, find
a doctor in your area to find out more about
the Macy procedure. Very innovative and a new and really
(31:26):
important way to treat people who are dealing with cartilage damage.
Speaker 6 (31:31):
All right, that is our man.
Speaker 1 (31:32):

All right, it's time for Shekel City.
Speaker 2 (32:48):
Welcome to Shekel City, the home base for Rob Parker's
daily Dix against the Spread.
Speaker 5 (33:02):
All right, here we go a little Shekel City.
Speaker 7 (33:06):
Well had the Brooklyn Nets plus one and a half
hosting the Golden State Warriors. That's my best bet I
have the Clippers just continue to win minus eight and
a half in Atlanta, and the last game coming up
on this Monday night, Magic City. Monday, I'm taking New
(33:28):
Orleans minus ten and a half hosting the Toronto.
Speaker 5 (33:33):
Raptors.
Speaker 7 (33:33):
So I got the Repelicans minus ten and a half
Brooklyn plus one and a half at home, and the
Clippers minus eight and a half on the road in Hotlanta. Remember, Chris,
I'm not telling you who to bet on. I'm telling
you who I bet on. All right, there you have it, run.
Speaker 6 (33:56):
Bet the opposite. No, I'm just rob. The Milwaukee Bucks.
Speaker 1 (34:00):
Now, remember they were thirty and thirteen, fired their coach,
Adrian Griffin.
Speaker 6 (34:05):
Oh it's working out well so far, Rob, They're one.
Speaker 1 (34:08):
They got Doc Rivers in there, and since Doc took over,
they are one in three now. Their first game with
him as coach, they lost to Denver.
Speaker 5 (34:17):
No, nope, nope, nobody. No one was to Portland when
they went to Portland.
Speaker 1 (34:21):
Right, that's bad because you can look at it like
Dame was on his you know, first time back in
Portland since the trade. However, maybe even that okay sentimental there,
you know they I don't know, you maybe make an
excuse for that. Then they beat Dallas and then Rob.
Last night is when it should be a little cost
(34:43):
for concern. I mean it's early, but still or early
for Doc. They lost one twenty three to one. Oh
eight at Utah. Now was the second night of a
back to back, if you want to give them that.
Speaker 5 (34:56):
So what they called schedule losses.
Speaker 1 (34:59):
Well, here's a They were up big and the Jazz
outscored them rob forty to eighteen.
Speaker 6 (35:09):
No, I'm sorry it was I think it was forty
to eighteen. Let's see.
Speaker 1 (35:16):
Yeah, no, forty to thirteen in the fourth quarter. And
listen to this stat The Jazz became the only NBA
team in the last twenty five years to outscore their
opponent by twenty five or more points in the fourth
quarter while using the same five players for the entire quarter.
Speaker 5 (35:38):
Wow. And you know what figure that out, Chris, I mean, usually.
Speaker 6 (35:44):
You know there's some type of substitution.
Speaker 1 (35:47):
But it speaks to one of the criticisms that a
lot of people have about Doc, and you've heard a
lot of his former players just speak out on this,
is that he doesn't make adjustments. And that row that
stat that they had the same five players, they were
essentially obviously doing the same thing and Doc didn't make that.
(36:08):
To me, that shows you didn't make any adjustments. And look,
it's early. I'm not gonna close the book on Doc
for this. You know year with the Bucks, they got
time to get it together.
Speaker 6 (36:22):
They started to cry. So it's an adjustment.
Speaker 1 (36:25):
So I'm not I'm not saying it can't work out,
But what I am saying is I think Doc, and
even with the media, Rob, he should begin selling.
Speaker 6 (36:34):
Look, we're gonna be ready to come playoff time.
Speaker 1 (36:37):
This this the rest of this season. We're just getting
to know each other. Were getting my stuff in. We're
figuring out what we do best and how best we
can win come playoff time.
Speaker 6 (36:49):
We're gonna be ready like the Miami Heat approach, because
that's all that matters for them. Rob, And that's all
that matters for Doc.
Speaker 7 (36:57):
Yeah, I hear that, And you could try to justify that.
But they shouldn't be this bad. They got a good team, Chris.
They were already winning like that. Why are they taking
off they okay, let's not act like they were scuffling.
He came in and they's still scuffling. Okay, then there's
some other issues here. They were winning at a high clip,
(37:17):
had the second best record right in the Eastern Conference.
And to get off to this one and three start,
and and and.
Speaker 1 (37:26):
You figure there's some excitement, right, Like I usual a
new coach, right, yeah, all right, we didn't want them anymore.
Speaker 6 (37:35):
Yep, yep, I don't know.
Speaker 5 (37:36):
I mean, I'm just.
Speaker 7 (37:40):
Where I'm at on Doc Rivers Chris is he's just
got to show me. He's got to win another championship
with some team to show me that it ain't him.
That's that's why I'm at.
Speaker 1 (37:52):
I'm with you, there's no about it. That's because it's
not like Doc man Rob. He has had ajor league talent.
With the Clippers, you had Blake Griffin, Chris, Paul DeAndre
Jordan and a host of nice role players. Now they
have some injuries. I will give him that. They did
have some injuries, untimely injuries in the playoffs. But then
(38:15):
you after that crew, you got Kawhi and Paul George
and again a nice group of role players around them.
And never it's not like they even they just kept
getting beating the conference finals, or they got beating the finals,
they didn't get past the second round. And then Philly
of course Joel Embiid and James Harden. So yeah, I mean, look,
(38:37):
I I would assume, I would imagine they gonna play
well in the regular season.
Speaker 6 (38:42):
The questions, what will they do in the playoffs.
Speaker 5 (38:44):
Because they got all the judgment is. It's all about
the postseason.
Speaker 6 (38:48):
They gotta get together, Rob. They gave him.
Speaker 1 (38:50):
They gave Doc forty million over four years, so this
gotta this has to work, and they gotta get together,
and we'll give them time they got.
Speaker 7 (39:00):
I can't believe he gave up that TV job for
forty million over forty years.
Speaker 6 (39:03):

Speaker 1 (02:57):
On the social media, is it the great one?
Speaker 5 (03:01):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (03:01):
And Sager Patel and of course on the our man
Steve Disager. All right, Rob, let's get into it. I
don't know, Rob, do we have the quote? Is there
sound of mahomes or is this a?
Speaker 6 (03:19):
Was this a the quote?
Speaker 8 (03:21):
It was given to NFL Networks Jeff Darlington. I had
the editing staff effort to find some sound. They could
not find it. But I do have the quote you
are referring to christ m Sorry.
Speaker 6 (03:29):
Okay, why don't you read us it to us?
Speaker 1 (03:32):
This is from two time MVP, two times Super Bowl champion,
pretty much very widely regarded as the best quarterback. Not
every no, but widely regarded as the best quarterback in
the league. That means there's a few exceptions, but very few.
But anyway, here's Patrick mahomes on being.
Speaker 4 (03:51):
A villain, that's right.
Speaker 8 (03:53):
Jeff Darlington asked him if he senses that he's become
a villain to other fan bases, specifically in comparison to
the Patriots and how they were considered villains during their
run with Tom Brady and Bill Belichick. Patrick Mahomes quote,
I can definitely sense it. I never felt like that
because I've never been like that in my entire life.
But it's become a little bit funny. I don't want
(04:15):
to say you enjoy it. I know the Patriots had
that for a while. I hope we do any different
way with a little bit more fun and personality. But
as long as you keep winning, teams start to not
like you, and I want to keep winning. So if
that means some of the other teams other fan bases
aren't gonna like me, I'll still try to have a
smile on my face and I'd be a bad example.
But I can be that villain for them if they
(04:37):
need me to be.
Speaker 7 (04:39):
The biggest non story and fake narrative I've ever heard
in NFL Super Bowl history. Wow, the Kansas City Chiefs
are not the bad guys or villains. Can we stop?
The Patriots had a lot of reasons why you didn't
like them. Okay, starting with the cheating. Okay, Chris, can
(05:00):
we start?
Speaker 5 (05:01):
They'll do it.
Speaker 7 (05:02):
That'll do it where you want to cheat Some fan
bases as the Raiders with the tuck rule, right, Rob
g that's why you hate the Patriots. They cheated. How
about Bill Belichick. That's a rosy guy that you want
to hang out with, or you think he's a cool guy. No,
(05:23):
all shuck's Tom Brady. He's another guy make you want
to throw up in your mouth. Wow, just wit just
the way here? Yeah, all right, some people, not everybody,
like you said, not everybody, but this notion that the
Kansas City Chiefs are the bad guys. They got a
coaching and Andy Reid who lost so many big games
(05:46):
people couldn't even count. They look at Andy Reid and
they think he's a Pillsbury dough boy and they want
to push their finger into his stomach. They don't look
at that guy as a bad guy. They want to
pass them the menu at Denny's. That's what they want
to do to any Weed. They don't hate Andy Weed
(06:11):
and Prodrick Mahomes.
Speaker 5 (06:13):
He hasn't won every game.
Speaker 7 (06:14):
They lost the Super Bowl the day that Patrick Mahomes
has done nothing to anybody, Chris, He's a talented quarterback.
Speaker 5 (06:23):
They've won a couple of Super Bowls. Yes, they've gone
to the Super Bowl four to five years.
Speaker 7 (06:28):
I understand maybe that jealousy, maybe a little jealousy, but
hate the Kansas City Chiefs preposterous, dumb, lazy, really, that
that's the narrative going on, that they're the villains. I
don't buy that for one second, that the Kansas City
(06:49):
Chiefs or some villain of the NFL.
Speaker 5 (06:52):
I don't.
Speaker 1 (06:54):
They're not the quote unquote evil empire, right like the
Yankees have been as disliked as the Patriots were, and
like you said, there were reasons for the Patriots. Chiefs
they're not view like the Miami Heat were when Lebron
(07:16):
and Wade and Bosh first teamed up. But Rob, I
do since a growing, if not dislike.
Speaker 6 (07:29):
Pulling against the Chiefs.
Speaker 1 (07:32):
I do feel like there is a growing group of
fans throughout the country pulling against the Chiefs.
Speaker 6 (07:40):
They are not beloved.
Speaker 1 (07:42):
Obviously some people love them outside of Kansas City, but
they are not just beloved like say the Jordan Bulls were,
And there is like there were there were surveys showing
the overwhelming majority of people were pulling for Baltimore, just
outside the Baltimore and Kansas City, pulling for them to
(08:03):
beat the Chiefs. And I think, as you said, Andy
Reid very likable, Patrick Mahomes very likable, Travis Kelsey dating
Taylor Swift like all of that. But I think it
stems from people just tiring of the winning. Like if
(08:24):
they win it this year and the heck they've gotten
to the super Bowl at the very least, then if
your other AFC fan bases, you're like, man, when are
we gonna get to the Super Bowl?
Speaker 4 (08:35):
This year?
Speaker 6 (08:35):
They were eleven and six, they.
Speaker 1 (08:37):
Played five hundred football for the second half of the season.
They the offense wasn't close to what it used to be,
and they still got to the Super Bowl. I think
that's what it is. And yeah, Joe Burrow on the
Bengals beat them once. They've been the four out of
the last five Super Bowls, So I agree. It's not
(08:57):
a hatred because they're unlike likable in any sort of way.
But I do feel like people are tiring of them
winning it and just feeling like, how in the world
are we gonna beat them? And it's our rob because
it's very different from as I mentioned, the Jordan Bulls.
They were generally beloved all over.
Speaker 6 (09:19):
The country, not in Detroit. That's yeah, right, because they.
Speaker 7 (09:25):
Bad boys people who have never worn of Jordan's or
won't buy him in Detroit.
Speaker 5 (09:30):
You know that over that they hated Michael Jordan.
Speaker 1 (09:33):
I believe that, but they're They're in the overwhelming minority,
and get over it.
Speaker 6 (09:37):
You're jealous souls look at anyway.
Speaker 5 (09:39):
But you use the right word jealous, and that's what.
Speaker 7 (09:43):
There's a difference between being jealous and hating the Kansas
City Chiefs. If you want to say, Chris, there are
some teams of fan bases that are jealous. I'll buy that.
But I don't think that anybody hates the chief But
I think I agree that they're not just likable.
Speaker 1 (10:00):
In fact, I would look at them and think, why
can't they be like you know, if they keep winning,
why can't they be like.
Speaker 6 (10:05):
The Jordan bulls.
Speaker 1 (10:06):
Mahons is exciting, he's fun, he's a good guys and
the commercials like Michael Jordan used to be.
Speaker 6 (10:12):
The coach is likable. All of these things going on.
Speaker 1 (10:16):
But I think Rob and I give credit to Nick Wright,
my partner on First Things First, for saying this.
Speaker 6 (10:21):
I thought this was a good point.
Speaker 1 (10:23):
He said it may have come too fast. I mean,
Mahons right away as soon as he started his second year,
he was dominated through for fifty touchdowns over five thousand
yards when MVP. The next year they win the Super
Bowl with Jordan, it was you know, he didn't win
it until his seventh year, Rob and you mentioned Detroit.
(10:45):
They kept beating him, and so there was this feeling
that he had overcome and he had fought hard and
earned his strikes and you know, crawled his way to
the top of the mountain, and so when he got there,
you could feel good about it. And I wonder if
to some people at least, it feels like, man, we
never saw them struggle for the most part. I mean
(11:08):
they they, like you said, they haven't won it every year.
Excuse me, but they have become dominant in very short order.
Speaker 6 (11:16):
And I agree they're not hated, but I do say.
Speaker 1 (11:20):
The narrative are pulling against them, pulling a lot of
people are pulling against them.
Speaker 5 (11:26):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (11:26):
I think it's a jealousy factor more than anything. Again,
I just hate I just don't see it.
Speaker 5 (11:33):
I just don't. I don't. I don't feel that.
Speaker 7 (11:35):
I think there are people who really hate the Patriots,
who really feel like, you know, they they they got stuff,
they're cheating we don't even know the scope of their cheating.
Speaker 5 (11:45):
Like we know a little bit, but if we were
to pull a curtain.
Speaker 7 (11:48):
Back, Chris, it would be really bad and we'd be like,
oh my god, it was worse than we ever thought.
I think there are people who will never give the
Patriots their full credit, their full due because they don't
feel like it was above board the entire way and
that and that says something they should be celebrated. Really
(12:08):
if this was patriots, no right, if the Patriots had
done it.
Speaker 1 (12:13):
But there are people that dislike them, but they not
that those are those cheating alligators or not even allegations,
just scandals.
Speaker 5 (12:21):
They did, they got, they got.
Speaker 6 (12:23):
That has not stopped.
Speaker 1 (12:24):
Most people from saying Brady's the goat, or most people
from Sam Belichick's to go.
Speaker 7 (12:29):
Well.
Speaker 5 (12:29):
I think there's still they very celebrated who.
Speaker 7 (12:32):
Are looking at it and they don't They probably should
be celebrated more to me, And I just think it's
the underlying thing that eventually will find out. There'll be
some other I'm just waiting for, you know, I'm waiting
for the book the full scope. Eric Mangini gave us
a taste, but there's a book out there.
Speaker 5 (12:49):
That I want to read.
Speaker 6 (12:51):
Why don't you write it?
Speaker 5 (12:54):
Michael Holly, He's the one Michael Holly up there in Boston.
Speaker 1 (12:58):
He's written several he had written that. Yeah, but those
are all speculating. Those are all cotton candy books.
Speaker 5 (13:05):
That he speculating. Of course, I'm just speculing. I don't
have anything, you know. That's why I said I can't
write anything. I'm in LA.
Speaker 6 (13:12):
So you're speculating that there's more out there.
Speaker 5 (13:15):
Yeah, that's all. I don't have any.
Speaker 6 (13:18):

Speaker 1 (15:21):
Last time we were together, last time we were together

In fact, every time we're together at the super Bowl.
Speaker 1 (15:29):
So Rob and myself and Rob Gen, we'll all go

Speaker 1 (15:35):
I mean, you know, the show goes till seven Pacific,
So we're at we're done around ten, you know, and
we all go back to the hotel. We get in
our in the elevator, we go up to our rooms.
Rob acts like he's going to his room, and then
he'll while we go into our rooms, He'll like, come
(15:57):
back to the elevator, get in and who.
Speaker 6 (16:00):
Knows where, but all of his expenses. You have thousands
of dollars in expenses and supers at midnight that anne
of us have. So I don't know what Rob is up.
Speaker 5 (16:12):
Money shot take no lives there.
Speaker 11 (16:16):
I had to take no I live in an area
of the country that no one really there's no there's
no home team, and everybody kind of picks their own team.
There's just not a team very close. So there's a
lot of varying opinions. And going into last well week
(16:37):
before last AFC Conference Championship game, you know, of course
I was cheering for Kansas City because they were playing
a Steelers rival, the Steelers rival, So all week long,
people are like, who you got, I'm all Kansas City,
can't City. They go, I'm not betting to get my homes.
I'm cheering for Kansas City. And people are like why,
why are you cheering for Kansas City? And I'm like why,
(16:59):
and I kept here I hate Kansas City. I'm like why.
I'm tired of them winning. So they are slowly becoming
Vielins even though they've done nothing. Now I ask you
a question. I know the Patriots gave you reasons that
if the Patriots are cheated and never won, nobody would
even talk about it. You gotta win to be hated.
Speaker 6 (17:18):
No, there's I agree with everything you said.
Speaker 5 (17:22):
I don't disagree with that.
Speaker 6 (17:23):
Yeah, I agree with everything you.
Speaker 1 (17:24):
Said, and I would rob why do you want they
wouldn't be viewed like the Bulls. You got a transcendent
quarterback star like you have. Jordan was a transcendent star.
Speaker 5 (17:39):
You know, the Bulls never lost.
Speaker 6 (17:44):
I think it was Jordan's.
Speaker 7 (17:46):
But I'm just saying when when you never lose, there's
something about like they never saw you.
Speaker 6 (17:51):
Lose lose before they got there.
Speaker 7 (17:54):
On the bigger stage, though, I just think that there's
something about Jordan's.
Speaker 6 (17:58):
And the winning as he's just yeah, everybody love me.
Speaker 5 (18:03):
Yeah, there's just something about it.
Speaker 7 (18:04):
Charles in Washington, you're in the odd couple Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 5 (18:08):
What's up, Charles?
Speaker 12 (18:10):
What's up? How y'all doing?
Speaker 3 (18:11):
Man so good?
Speaker 6 (18:12):
How are you?
Speaker 11 (18:14):
Great man?
Speaker 4 (18:15):
Great man?
Speaker 12 (18:15):
Got to be on with y'all Man, you got just
you guys have Oscar sho. I appreciate y'all.
Speaker 5 (18:18):
Man on.
Speaker 12 (18:22):
MA Homes gets the hate for I mean for different reasons,
but to me, it's it's opened everything. You know, they've
been winning so much. You know, he looks the way
he looks me personally.
Speaker 1 (18:31):
What you wait, wait, you said he looks the way
he looks What does that mean?
Speaker 12 (18:36):
They get some of the same hay to step Kurry
gets with the Warriors, man, you know tea, Like I said,
I'm t my skin because I'm somewhere between like Robert
org and you Chris honestly, like the shade is like
and if summertime I'm more like Jim Jackson Robert or
in the winter time when I get no sunshine, I'm
more like he. I'm watch staffs like I go from
carrym out to corn Throup.
Speaker 6 (18:54):
That's what rob Where are you at on that?
Speaker 13 (18:57):
You?
Speaker 6 (18:58):
You? You hate? You? Do you think that's a factor
because he's light skinned?
Speaker 4 (19:02):
No, No, I just don't.
Speaker 5 (19:04):
He could be small.
Speaker 12 (19:05):
Degreas small kness blah, Robbie right by Jordan because Jordan's
what I was about. Jordan especially can put the Yoka's dog.
The winning is the winning. But he was so smooth
with him, man like the way he moved like that
he had a combination of about leticism.
Speaker 11 (19:18):
Plus it was.
Speaker 7 (19:19):
Hard not like and he had and he had so
much he had, He had so much swagger. He made
having the ball head look good like Chris. There was
so many things about him for real. And Michael Jordan
was a dark skinned guy, you know what I mean.
He wasn't like some fly guy.
Speaker 1 (19:36):
You know what everybody says he made dark he made
Dark Skinned Brothers, put.
Speaker 6 (19:42):
Dark Brothers in style. Bet No, I mean he he
had I think I think Person one. I guess it's arguable.
Speaker 1 (19:53):
I think he had the best looking game in the
NBA history. The better I mean, I guess some people
might try to argue, I don't know Kyrie or but
Jordan's game was just Doctor j.
Speaker 6 (20:03):
Obviously is up there. Jordan's game, Yeah, Donald Man.
Speaker 5 (20:10):
Thanks, thanks, Charles. We're appreciating the shoes and the shoes
and and and to this day, still twenty five years.
Speaker 6 (20:17):
I think they're there. I don't think there's a doubt.
Speaker 4 (20:19):
Rob.
Speaker 6 (20:20):
They're more popular now, they're more popular they weren't in
the retro.
Speaker 2 (20:24):
Jordan.
Speaker 7 (20:25):
Oh yeah, big time. Mark and Sacramento. Man, Mark, you're
on the odd couple of Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 5 (20:30):
What's up? What's going on?
Speaker 11 (20:32):
What's going on, gentlemen, what's up?
Speaker 5 (20:34):
Money? It's the shoes.
Speaker 2 (20:39):
So that's a big part of it because of the
coach of the shoes created.
Speaker 11 (20:42):
Not to say Michael Jordan was Michael Jordan.
Speaker 12 (20:44):
We all know that, but you have to add the
culture part of the shoes kind of like Ellens in
this culture part of his dress.
Speaker 13 (20:52):
He changed me how you dressed?
Speaker 6 (20:54):
Yep, the corn rows.
Speaker 11 (20:56):
You know.
Speaker 5 (20:56):
You know what's crazy though, is when the tattoo thing.
Speaker 7 (20:59):
When I remember when I when I remember tattoos, it
would be on like biker white guys, you know, bikers, right, plumbers,
guys in the in the navy or something like that's
a war tattoos, you know what I mean, Like I
don't remember. That's strange that that became such a thing,
but it still is big.
Speaker 6 (21:18):
I mean, obviously people are getting tattoos.
Speaker 7 (21:20):
Yeah, go ahead, mark your thought on Are they hated
or just they're just jealousy.
Speaker 4 (21:27):
I think there's a.
Speaker 12 (21:28):
Lot of jealousy because it's hard to hate a guy
who sounds like coming to fall. He does, and it's jealousy.
Speaker 5 (21:39):
That's what I think it is.
Speaker 12 (21:41):
Have some assholes to be to be, you know, to
be you know, feelings good guys.
Speaker 7 (21:48):
One hundred percent, thanks Mark, one hundred percent, Chris.
Speaker 5 (21:51):
That there they are.
Speaker 7 (21:53):
You might not want to see all the time, but
it's gotta be jealousy.
Speaker 5 (21:57):
Like I get on your team, you.
Speaker 6 (21:58):
Want your team to win, you want somebody else to win.
Speaker 1 (22:01):
Yep, no doubt, all right, it is the odd couple
Chris and Rob Solomon will Cox.
Speaker 5 (22:06):
He's right over there.
Speaker 1 (22:08):
Exit NFL player is around the corner. He'll join us
in a moment.
Speaker 6 (22:12):
All right.
Speaker 1 (22:12):
Our next guest played in the NFL with the Cincinnati
Bengals and a couple of other teams, and now he
has made his mark as a broadcaster currently with serious
excellent INFL radio.
Speaker 6 (22:25):
Friend of the show Solomon will Cott Solomon.
Speaker 5 (22:28):
What up, brother, Chris?
Speaker 4 (22:33):
Can you hear me?
Speaker 5 (22:34):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (22:35):
The good to be on with you and Rob. Of course,
you guys have always been so gracious to have me
on with you sharing your platform. So uh good to
see you guys.
Speaker 1 (22:45):
Yes, absolutely, brother, great to have you on. And we
were just talking Rob and I about there seems to
be a growing sentiment of people just pulling against the Chiefs.
Patrick Mahomes was asked about it. He said, look, he'll
be the villain if he has to. Do you feel
I mean, Robin j They're not hate Patricks, They're not
(23:08):
unlikable like maybe the Patriots and some other teams have been.
But where where are you at on the Chiefs? And
do you think a lot of times a lot of
people now are starting to pull against them?
Speaker 6 (23:20):
Maybe because there's a feeling they win in too much.
Speaker 4 (23:23):
Yeah, that's just kind of the trend, right, uh. I
think professional jealousy does begin to creep in after you've
won and won and continue to win. And he's done
so at an early clip, like early in his career, right,
twenty eight years old, but yet has accomplished so much.
Speaker 5 (23:40):
But he's so.
Speaker 4 (23:42):
Wonderful, Like he has all the right answers in the
postgame press conferences. He says all the right things, he
does all the right things. He knows how to win
at clutch time, he gets to do things other quarterbacks
don't get to do, throw late over the middle of
the field, still has things workout for him, right, he
can do a show like the quarterbacks that Peyton Manning
(24:02):
did last year. He can do that in the middle
of the season, not have it distracting, and still go
on to win a Super Bowl. So I think after
a while, people do get tired of seeing the same
group of people win and they want someone else that's
new and so yeah, I think they've reached that point
of success in their career as the Kansas City chiefs
(24:23):
Andy Reid, Patrick Mahomes, Travis Kelcey, where you're starting to
the tide is kind of going against them a little bit.
I'm still for them because I love when I love excellence,
and I love to see when people do the right things.
I love to see them rewarding.
Speaker 5 (24:38):
How about if they lose.
Speaker 7 (24:39):
If they lose and they're two and two and say
everything that happened during the regular season, they were five
and five their last ten, say it catches up and
they were able to win those two playoff games. But
you look at them and go rees was some of
the issues three playoff games. These are some of the
issues that they had all year. How would you look
at what they've done in their run it's a loss
(25:00):
instead of a win coming.
Speaker 4 (25:01):
I would still say it's a dynasty.
Speaker 5 (25:05):
The house of.
Speaker 4 (25:06):
The dynasty, because they've had a high level of success
over extended period of time. You're talking still a six
year window.
Speaker 5 (25:13):
A dynasty is about winning two.
Speaker 4 (25:15):
Championships in there's two champions No, no, no, they're not two
in a row though, Solomon hold on, let me give
you my definition.
Speaker 5 (25:20):
I got you, okay, to me a dynasty, you gotta.
Speaker 7 (25:24):
Win three out of four two like you gotta win
at least two in a row, and you got to
me minus three in a row or three out.
Speaker 6 (25:34):
Of four, so you could you could have a snowbody's
won three in a row.
Speaker 7 (25:37):
No, no, no, but wait a minute when we talk about it,
but the Cowboys won three out of four and that's
the last that they're a dynasty to me, the Patriots.
When I look at teams, you know, winning, Uh, we
talk about the Spurs all the time. Oh, the Spurs
won five championships over twenty years.
Speaker 5 (25:54):
That's not a dynasty.
Speaker 6 (25:55):
You know, it's a good organization.
Speaker 5 (25:58):
No, they weren't.
Speaker 7 (25:58):
Do you think five champions on twenty.
Speaker 4 (26:02):
That's not a dynasty. They had their run. It was dynastic,
It was odd, but it ain't anasty, you know. I
think there was. I look, they were, they were the
dominant team. They were.
Speaker 5 (26:15):
They went years without winning.
Speaker 4 (26:16):
They never even went back to back. They never went
back to back. That's your I think that's your criteria.
I don't think it has to be.
Speaker 5 (26:23):
Look it up in the dictionary. I'm right.
Speaker 4 (26:25):
No, no, I'm saying they. I think even if even
if the Chiefs don't win back to back, I think
they have done it. You look at the number of
wins they have two champs, said they would have two
championships in five years, and they would have these multiple
runs dominating the AFC, but yet still getting there and
winning when they got there. It's not like they went
(26:46):
oh for like the Buffalo Bills. Right, Maybe they didn't
win your back to back, but I think they check
all the other boxes all right.
Speaker 1 (26:53):
I will also I agree with rob On that I
think they gotta win to be this dynasty.
Speaker 3 (26:57):
Now.
Speaker 1 (26:57):
If they don't win the Mahone dynasty, if you will,
it's still going. If they went well, I'm not saying
it's over, but it ain't a dynasty they lose. So Solomon,
what are your thoughts on this matchup? I, for one,
I don't know who I'm picking yet, but I think
(27:19):
I'm surprised that the Niners were favorite the way they
looked at the compared to the way the Chiefs have
looked in the playoffs.
Speaker 6 (27:27):
I think the Chiefs should be favored. But how do
you how.
Speaker 1 (27:30):
Do you assess this game and what's your feeling on
what could happen.
Speaker 4 (27:34):
I'm okay with the forty nine ers being favored. And
here is why fourth team in NFL history have a
four thousand yard passer and then four guys who've had
over a thousand yards from scrimmage. That's a potent offense now.
And it's not like they don't have a great offensive line.
They do. They can pludge in you, so they can
run it, they can throw it, and they can put
(27:55):
up a lot of big time plays and I think
they have a lot of matchup in managers. So you said, Okay,
the offense can go through Christian McCaffrey and we know
they're going to be productive. Oh no, this week, We're
offense is going to go through Deebo Samuel and they
can be productive. Oh no, this week it's gonna be
Brandon Ayyuk. They can have Kyle hus Check. Maybe won't
be the primary, but he could be a secondary guy
(28:16):
that can win his matchup. So they have multiple different
ways where they can really provide an explosive offense that
could give the Chiefs problem. So I could see them
scoring a lot of points in this game. And obviously
you got Patrick Mahomes. This guy's the grim Reaper. He
can score points and score in a hurry. So I
see it being a high scoring game. I have Kansas
(28:38):
City winning it, but that's only because I'm giving the
benefit of the doubt to what I know about Patrick Mahons.
Speaker 7 (28:45):
My thing is when you look at the forty nine Ers,
they should have lost it first two playoff games. There's
something about teams that, you know what I mean, that
can come back and win even when they're not playing great.
I mean, they should have lost to the Packers, and
definitely without Dan Campbell the line beat them.
Speaker 4 (29:00):
I mean the line you know that you know what
before that pay before that Packers game. I think under
Kyle Shanahan, his teams were thirty. We're losing by seven points,
and then they have a comfort behind wind in both
of these postseasons.
Speaker 5 (29:15):
That makes any sense, right, It's kind of weird, all right, Chris.
Speaker 7 (29:18):
We also have doctor Chad Hansen here with us as well,
and he's the Raiders team physician and doc. You and
Solomon are both your on behalf of MACY and uh
tell us about that.
Speaker 13 (29:31):
So MACY is a procedure where we can repair cartilage
injuries and knees and hopefully help people avoid future problems,
including knee replacement. So you take and you harness the
patient's own cells to grow new healthy cardilige.
Speaker 4 (29:47):
So you have to do that.
Speaker 7 (29:48):
Okay, so you you do this before you even know
that they need it, is what I'm trying to say.
Speaker 5 (29:53):
When do you start to take from them.
Speaker 13 (29:55):
So you'll see the cardilige defect on MRI and then
you'd go in do it arthroscopy or a scope is
commonly called, and there you can measure the lesion. You
can take and harvest the cartilage from that patient. You
send the cartilage off, you grow it in a lab. Wow,
and then you come back and you.
Speaker 4 (30:13):
And you seal that man cover hole. That's amazing something.
And you're using your own sales.
Speaker 5 (30:18):
That's what I'm saying. That's what I was so shocked about.
Speaker 4 (30:21):
This is what they call an atolicous science. And so
using your own sales, don't have to worry about a match.
It's been widely successful and it's it's really you probably
heard of other different procedures where they prick the bone
and they have to do other different things and that's
not long lasting. This has proven to last over time,
and again, using your own sales for healing. I don't
(30:44):
know that there's a better way.
Speaker 7 (30:47):
And that is it's unbelievable what can be done nowadays.
And how quickly people come back from injuries or whatever,
even though we never thought Aaron Rodgers was coming back.
Speaker 5 (30:57):
Despite all that, we were like, hey, no way, you
know that, Like you ain't getting back out there. You
can walk around and throw the ball all you want.
Speaker 4 (31:05):
Not from that story, not from that torn Achilles Stanton.
Now you're gonna have to go through the process. The
body is saying, there are no short cuts to being
able to heal yourself. And look, just go to the
website at Macy dot com, m Aci dot com, find
a doctor in your area to find out more about
the Macy procedure. Very innovative and a new and really
(31:26):
important way to treat people who are dealing with cartilage damage.
Speaker 6 (31:31):

All right, it's time for Shekel City.
Speaker 2 (32:48):
Welcome to Shekel City, the home base for Rob Parker's
daily Dix against the Spread.
Speaker 5 (33:02):
All right, here we go a little Shekel City.
Speaker 7 (33:06):
Well had the Brooklyn Nets plus one and a half
hosting the Golden State Warriors. That's my best bet I
have the Clippers just continue to win minus eight and
a half in Atlanta, and the last game coming up
on this Monday night, Magic City. Monday, I'm taking New
(33:28):
Orleans minus ten and a half hosting the Toronto.
Speaker 5 (33:33):
Raptors.
Speaker 7 (33:33):
So I got the Repelicans minus ten and a half
Brooklyn plus one and a half at home, and the
Clippers minus eight and a half on the road in Hotlanta. Remember, Chris,
I'm not telling you who to bet on. I'm telling
you who I bet on. All right, there you have it, run.
Speaker 6 (33:56):
Bet the opposite. No, I'm just rob. The Milwaukee Bucks.
Speaker 1 (34:00):
Now, remember they were thirty and thirteen, fired their coach,
Adrian Griffin.
Speaker 6 (34:05):
Oh it's working out well so far, Rob, They're one.
Speaker 1 (34:08):
They got Doc Rivers in there, and since Doc took over,
they are one in three now. Their first game with
him as coach, they lost to Denver.
Speaker 5 (34:17):
No, nope, nope, nobody. No one was to Portland when
they went to Portland.
Speaker 1 (34:21):
Right, that's bad because you can look at it like
Dame was on his you know, first time back in
Portland since the trade. However, maybe even that okay sentimental there,
you know they I don't know, you maybe make an
excuse for that. Then they beat Dallas and then Rob.
Last night is when it should be a little cost
(34:43):
for concern. I mean it's early, but still or early
for Doc. They lost one twenty three to one. Oh
eight at Utah. Now was the second night of a
back to back, if you want to give them that.
Speaker 5 (34:56):
So what they called schedule losses.
Speaker 1 (34:59):
Well, here's a They were up big and the Jazz
outscored them rob forty to eighteen.
Speaker 6 (35:09):
No, I'm sorry it was I think it was forty
to eighteen. Let's see.
Speaker 1 (35:16):
Yeah, no, forty to thirteen in the fourth quarter. And
listen to this stat The Jazz became the only NBA
team in the last twenty five years to outscore their
opponent by twenty five or more points in the fourth
quarter while using the same five players for the entire quarter.
Speaker 5 (35:38):
Wow. And you know what figure that out, Chris, I mean, usually.
Speaker 6 (35:44):
You know there's some type of substitution.
Speaker 1 (35:47):
But it speaks to one of the criticisms that a
lot of people have about Doc, and you've heard a
lot of his former players just speak out on this,
is that he doesn't make adjustments. And that row that
stat that they had the same five players, they were
essentially obviously doing the same thing and Doc didn't make that.
(36:08):
To me, that shows you didn't make any adjustments. And look,
it's early. I'm not gonna close the book on Doc
for this. You know year with the Bucks, they got
time to get it together.
Speaker 6 (36:22):
They started to cry. So it's an adjustment.
Speaker 1 (36:25):
So I'm not I'm not saying it can't work out,
But what I am saying is I think Doc, and
even with the media, Rob, he should begin selling.
Speaker 6 (36:34):
Look, we're gonna be ready to come playoff time.
Speaker 1 (36:37):
This this the rest of this season. We're just getting
to know each other. Were getting my stuff in. We're
figuring out what we do best and how best we
can win come playoff time.
Speaker 6 (36:49):
We're gonna be ready like the Miami Heat approach, because
that's all that matters for them. Rob, And that's all
that matters for Doc.
Speaker 7 (36:57):
Yeah, I hear that, And you could try to justify that.
But they shouldn't be this bad. They got a good team, Chris.
They were already winning like that. Why are they taking
off they okay, let's not act like they were scuffling.
He came in and they's still scuffling. Okay, then there's
some other issues here. They were winning at a high clip,
(37:17):
had the second best record right in the Eastern Conference.
And to get off to this one and three start,
and and and.
Speaker 1 (37:26):
You figure there's some excitement, right, Like I usual a
new coach, right, yeah, all right, we didn't want them anymore.
Speaker 6 (37:35):
Yep, yep, I don't know.
Speaker 5 (37:36):
I mean, I'm just.
Speaker 7 (37:40):
Where I'm at on Doc Rivers Chris is he's just
got to show me. He's got to win another championship
with some team to show me that it ain't him.
That's that's why I'm at.
Speaker 1 (37:52):
I'm with you, there's no about it. That's because it's
not like Doc man Rob. He has had ajor league talent.
With the Clippers, you had Blake Griffin, Chris, Paul DeAndre
Jordan and a host of nice role players. Now they
have some injuries. I will give him that. They did
have some injuries, untimely injuries in the playoffs. But then
(38:15):
you after that crew, you got Kawhi and Paul George
and again a nice group of role players around them.
And never it's not like they even they just kept
getting beating the conference finals, or they got beating the finals,
they didn't get past the second round. And then Philly
of course Joel Embiid and James Harden. So yeah, I mean, look,
(38:37):
I I would assume, I would imagine they gonna play
well in the regular season.
Speaker 6 (38:42):
The questions, what will they do in the playoffs.
Speaker 5 (38:44):
Because they got all the judgment is. It's all about
the postseason.
Speaker 6 (38:48):
They gotta get together, Rob. They gave him.
Speaker 1 (38:50):
They gave Doc forty million over four years, so this
gotta this has to work, and they gotta get together,
and we'll give them time they got.
Speaker 7 (39:00):
I can't believe he gave up that TV job for
forty million over forty years.
Speaker 6 (39:03):
What all right, mora couple coming your way two hours left.
Y'all know what to do.
Speaker 5 (39:09):
