Bowl Reaction Show e helf hour from now, Luca plays
his first game as a Laker, Super Bowl, Luca Super Bowl,
Luca Super Bowl. You would be riding that tight wrote
for the next four hours my card.
Speaker 3 (01:05):
Well, I mean, since we are coming to you live
from Los Angeles and the car flags are out and
people are fired up. I saw more Lakers gear, a
lot of sweatshirts seemingly sold in the last week.
Speaker 4 (01:17):
I don't remember seeing that Hooty Weather, but I don't
normally see that much outerwear of Lakers. Normally it's T
shirts yeah, some shorts, yeah.
Speaker 3 (01:24):
But and in jerseys if you go down along the
beach and whatever. But here like lots of sweatshirts and
jackets suddenly making their way back out as people wanted
to show their colors. And maybe it's also the anti
Anthony Davis after he gets hurt, saying we got rid
of him, and we got that guy, so let's get
after that. And Lebron's suddenly healthy to play. Well, How
(01:45):
great is that? How great is that that his ankle
healed so quickly?
Speaker 1 (01:53):
I see, I want to watch detective shows with you
because you Oh my god, I didn't see that coming.
That guy's the murderer, dick. Come on, man, you didn't know.
Speaker 3 (02:00):
This is where you, as a team and as an individual,
you should be fined heavily for that nonsense.
Speaker 1 (02:06):
Didn't see that like like two segments ago that kind
of foreshadowed this guy was a killer.
Speaker 4 (02:10):
Oh, I can't believe that of course.
Speaker 1 (02:12):
That's gonna happen, and you know trash and you know
it's gonna go out too, and Luke is gonna get introduced. Last,
of course, Lebron will do the whole. Hey, it's okay
for you to be introduced last year. It's absolutely fine.
It's your first game. We'll talk about the rest of it,
but right now, it's fine. You'll get introduced first.
Speaker 3 (02:26):
I do like that Lebron is leaned in fully. You
is seen wearing the Luca giveaway T shirt earlier today,
So I mean you want to talk about, Hey, I'm
the greatest team and look what I did. I'm like,
Steph Curry, welcome to my team.
Speaker 4 (02:42):
We told you the beginning. Wall is he gonna stay
with the Lakers? How mad is he? He was giddy.
He was like, there's no way you can tell me
he didn't know what's happening.
Speaker 1 (02:50):
He was giddy as a schoolboy doing his postgame interview
with the Knicks before the trade was even.
Speaker 4 (02:54):
An Now, beating the Knicks, you got so many Hanks
like you.
Speaker 3 (02:58):
But he's celebrating Dagadgadega, Dagga bruns and bruns and brothers.
Speaker 4 (03:02):
And Big Bodega not just Bodega.
Speaker 3 (03:04):
Okay, the god Saturday he was bode It's fine, we
want to you know, someone had smashed the front window
and the Lakers him they had to shut down because
they had to clean up the glass.
Speaker 4 (03:15):
Not they hurt Anonobe on purpose. I got a key
Frostburg's car. No, they hurt him on.
Speaker 1 (03:19):
Purs So clearly, clearly the headline also the return of
Dalton connect Oh, by the way, yeah, the trade getting rescinded.
Speaker 4 (03:27):
That was going to remake the Lakers night.
Speaker 3 (03:29):
Was that though, But I mean we had Monday through
Wednesday all the NBA stuff, Thursday the deadline, then we
had m VP and and and Hall of Fame snub.
So we got that Thursday Friday. The Williams trade was
such a big deal and then it gets rescinded. But
you know what, you can't take back the segment you did.
It was great radio in the moment of what could be,
even though I was the old guy going and I
(03:50):
want to see physically what happened, and then it doesn't
even clear.
Speaker 4 (03:53):
Ah, it was great though. Look it was out down
Connects bag.
Speaker 1 (03:57):
It's okay, sure, I mean, really you think Rob Polinkott
just said Dalton.
Speaker 4 (04:02):
It's just business. It's never person, never personal.
Speaker 1 (04:05):
Okay, just get back out there and expect you to
give one hundred and ten percent. You canna be pissed
off of you all you want. You're gonna give me
the middle finger to my back when I walk away
in this great designer jacket and pants that'll go down
to kind of my ankles. They paint it on that
jacket the way the cool people wear them. I know
you're gonna do that to me, but just that's the
last time on the floor.
Speaker 4 (04:24):
It's business. See.
Speaker 3 (04:25):
I think you painted that jacket on him like you put,
you know, spray into your attic.
Speaker 4 (04:32):
It's one of those one of those.
Speaker 1 (04:34):
It's one of those jackets that you wear when you
go to one of those big sheshi uh, like an
on Rodeo Drive or on Sunset Boulevard where you walk
in and there's like two of the jacket and there's
like one in a small and one's in a medium,
and like that's all they have. How much is that jacket?
It's thirteen thousand dollars. What do you have here? Small
(04:55):
and a medium? Do you want one of these? That's
that's when that custome order a large hats. That's why
six for a little extra extra fabric. But yeah, the
Dalton connects like you're gonna ball out.
Speaker 3 (05:05):
You're gonna get a lot of open shots, and then
at the end of the year we're gonna drain you
don't miss again.
Speaker 1 (05:10):
Don't miss, just don't miss. So we'll have that. That's
coming up again in about twenty five minutes. Uh luka
Donc's first game with the Lakers as the Lakers take
on the Jazz again, seven thirty tip time. Meanwhile, as
we Bounce, I told you, we bounced, We bounced a bound.
Speaker 4 (05:25):
The Super Bowl.
Speaker 1 (05:26):
One hundred and twenty six million people apparently watched Super
Bowl licks. As we told you last week, there was
zero correlation between a lack of buzz for the Super
Bowl and the people who actually watch it.
Speaker 3 (05:36):
Capt out of one yes said, nobody will buy whatever
metrics you're measuring.
Speaker 1 (05:41):
As you told you up until yesterday, the Chiefs were
the Evil Empire, and there was a lot of interest
in seeing them lose.
Speaker 4 (05:47):
There just was as much interest in hearing the three
pete and the Goat talk with Mahomes when we've seen
this matchup before. There wasn't as much interest in that
over the course of the weekend. Oh, by the way, yes,
the Luca ad trade, but there's zer euro correlation between
that because some years there's tons of buzz what I say,
last week, tons of buzz one hundred and ten million
people watch. Other years not a lot of buzz one
(06:08):
hundred and ten million people watch. Oh, by the way,
got it wrong, because this will now be the highest
rated super Bowl of all time when you count everybody
watching on all those different ways. And what quibi to me?
Speaker 5 (06:18):
To me?
Speaker 1 (06:19):
Didn't they don't they make Wait, don't they make really
good the suitcases and stuff? Isn't that the company different?
It's kind of like yet and we start fighting about it.
That's the glass now that that's the glass.
Speaker 5 (06:30):
No.
Speaker 1 (06:31):
No, no, like the big, the big, the great new
uh like that big one, the one big, very very
expensive suitcase store and travel bag stuff in the Mall right,
isn't that That's what I thought? That wasn't like, Oh,
this is streaming service? Oh got it? Got it to.
Speaker 4 (06:46):
Me to me, yes, and this and this TV was
to to be okay.
Speaker 3 (06:53):
Yeah, my my my daughter working as a caretaker, she
was able to stream on to b uh for all
all the folks that she's working with DJ clearly for
the Super Bowl this was to be or.
Speaker 4 (07:06):
Not to be for Mahmes and the Chiefs. Well played.
Speaker 3 (07:10):
Yeah, but congratulations are teammates at Fox. A hell of
a run up the AI and history of Jimmy Johnson
was fantastic. I'm glad there was no retirement announcement there
and just a great pregame all the way through the broadcast.
It was a good time.
Speaker 5 (07:25):
Now.
Speaker 1 (07:25):
The first big takeaway from the Super Bowl isn't this
I'm never gonna get to go to Kansas City again?
Speaker 4 (07:31):
Is that this.
Speaker 1 (07:33):
Sort of feels like the end of the run for
the Chiefs. This is kind of how dynasties end like this,
They end shockingly, They end with really difficult defeats where
all of your faults are laid bare. Right Philadelphia expose
(07:53):
Kansas City's offensive line. Travis Kelce looks like he has
done the back seven of the Eagles. Saw the Chiefs
say we couldn't solve them there. It wasn't just hey,
Mahomes turned the football over, which he did. He was
trying to make plays from the beginning of the game,
almost like he could tell we are up against a
different animal than we've played against this season. But this
is how dynasties end. The Chiefs kind of they got
(08:15):
by all year. They were a great fourth quarter, clutch team.
But now you play a team with a better roster
and they get dominated from the opening jump. They had
no energy. They were flat. You didn't think team's gonna
be flat in the Superowl. They had no energy, they
had no confidence. Travis Kelcey even said after the game,
we just couldn't get go. We couldn't get going. This
is what happens when you get a team that dominates
(08:36):
you in all those areas, and the way the defensive
line controlled the game. This is sort of how dynasties end,
and they they end in a flash. Because now the Chiefs,
you can see the way the last few years have
gone too Super Bowls. They get to a third and boy,
they just get boat raced. The teams in the AFC
are getting better. Mahomes is running out of options and weapons. Yes,
(08:59):
a great day for Xavier Worthy, most of it in
garbage time, so maybe he can be a big weapon,
but he's had Kelsey, the best tight end in the NFL.
Speaker 4 (09:07):
The last year is now it looks.
Speaker 1 (09:08):
Like Travis Kelcey is finished, because boy, this playoff should
have been when he shined, and instead he had one
good game of a couple of games where you couldn't
even find him. And while Mahomes is still a great quarterback,
you're not going to see the level of excellence that
we have because other teams are younger and passing them by,
and you can't just keep reloading on the fly. Eventually
you get to a point where we're missing too many weapons.
(09:28):
How are we gonna do this? It's almost like you
look at the Warriors at the end.
Speaker 4 (09:32):
Of their run.
Speaker 1 (09:32):
Hey boy, look it just stopped for them right away. Boy,
they got a little bit older, the other teams got better.
Tiger Woods at the end, boy, it just stopped for him.
Everybody else was getting better, he was getting older. Doesn't
mean they can't win another one, because I could see
him one more. Kind of like Tiger getting the last Masters.
Kind of like the Warriors getting the last title. A
couple of years after they won. They squeeze that one
(09:53):
out and now you see, okay, we're really in disrepair.
I could see the Chiefs maybe getting one more. Over
the course, of the back half of Mahomes' career. But
you see all these teams in the AFC, they're all younger,
they're better. The NFC has better teams overall.
Speaker 4 (10:07):
In the AFC. We saw that.
Speaker 1 (10:09):
I would say the top four teams this year were
in the NFC overall if you did a power rankings
at the end of the Super Bowl. So this kind
of looks like it feels like the end for the
Chiefs because again, this is kind of how dynasties end.
Quick flash with a lesson of this is how it
is when you're playing at a high level, and the
Chiefs just couldn't do that at all yesterday.
Speaker 3 (10:27):
Yeah, I mean there's a big, hard reboot that has
to happen. Right for the second time, Patrick Mahomes was
chased all over a field. In this case, he got obliterated.
What six sacks and the other hits, takedowns and smash
and grab along the way, You just didn't You had
two interceptions that were not contestable balls, right, they were
(10:49):
just terrible passes, terrible reads, and he threw one in
the second possession that on that third down when he
scrambled all the way back to one of those Russell
Wilson scrambles and he just threw it up and somehow
three Eagles didn't get it.
Speaker 4 (11:01):
They all collided because they wanted the interception.
Speaker 1 (11:03):
You could tell he felt, what this we need to
push that, we need to push the envelope here.
Speaker 4 (11:08):
We can't. We can't just kind of, you know, meander
our way into the game and try to win in
the fourth quarter.
Speaker 3 (11:13):
That's not gonna Yeah, you never got one of those
excel moments the first possession when you have the drop
by Kelsey. I don't know that that goes on to
a long for track to drive, but you would at
least had all right, exhale, all right, now we get
a new set of downs, we reset, and we move on.
You have completely abandoned the run.
Speaker 4 (11:31):
I do like that.
Speaker 3 (11:31):
The defensive line you mocked me a little bit because
I really like defensive lines a lot and talked about
it last week.
Speaker 4 (11:37):
Yeah, they you could have argued that the Bears ever
since Richard defensive line I love. Yeah, but you could
but you could.
Speaker 3 (11:44):
Argue that those four well that was the fun part
in Chicago in just second is the you know those
four guys, I mean, I know you're not going to
give them an MVP as a unit, but you could
argue that they earned one along the way.
Speaker 5 (11:56):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (11:57):
But you know in Chicago they're laughing, going, yeah, this
is Whatatrick Mahomes would have been if he'd come here. Okay,
so all that revision is history.
Speaker 4 (12:04):
Again.
Speaker 3 (12:04):
You would have drafted to Shaun Watson if you want,
according to draft boards. But you know for all of
that what the Bears have been. It's like, yeah, that's
what Patrick Mahomes would have been. So people trying to
find some solace in that. But you got a hard reboot, right,
You got to figure out Travis Kelcey, as you said,
consistently a non factor in this case. A couple of drops,
couple of catches at the end, you get some more records, whatever,
(12:27):
it doesn't matter. That was all garbage time. Fact that
Mahomes was still in the game in the final minutes,
so people can push the what a gamer he is narrative.
Now they're lucky when he got hit the next time
and his arm got raked that nothing bad happened. So
you got that the offensive line was trash, and you
tried to cobble that together. It didn't work. The guys
(12:48):
that were your focal point there suddenly looked slower and
ineffective and trying to pick up for guys that shouldn't
have been on the field, your wide receivers. Yeah, Rashee
Rice was gone and were he finished the season pretty well,
but you need at least one or two more guys
DeAndre hopkint. I mean, think about that drop at the
end of the first half in the would have should
(13:08):
have cut a world Like I'm not saying you're getting
back in the game. How do you stumble on the
on the turf and not make that catch? Like at
least you might have had a little breath.
Speaker 1 (13:21):
I think there's a lot of things. Oh if that happened,
if like, if all those things happen, I still don't
know that the Chiefs can.
Speaker 3 (13:27):
No, no, no, don't. I don't think they're still winning
the game. But it would have been meant that the
game would have been entertaining other than hey, what was
the prop bet on that guy? Which is what most
of the second half was.
Speaker 4 (13:40):
It just feels like the end of the Chiefs Ninas. Oh,
it's a hard reboot in the AFC.
Speaker 3 (13:47):
You got a lot of teams you're chasing and as
you said, if you do get back to that ultimate game,
good luck exit.

it's here. We're gonna see Luca. He's going to play
for the Lakers in five minutes. Okay, half five minutes
to Luca.
Speaker 3 (15:29):
See I'd like the more the idea of it than
the practicality of it. What do you mean, just the
in theory, what it's he gonna do? And then we
actually see it.
Speaker 4 (15:38):
These pesky games are really just up too much time
because what if it doesn't live up to the height.
I mean, how's he not gonna what's he he's not
gonna score? How about this? This is great?
Speaker 3 (15:47):
The the spread in terms of his over under for tonight.
I saw it as low as twenty five and a
half yay, and as high as twenty nine. He's gonna
get to depending on where you're This is like we
were talking with Todd Furman in the backpack and one
up and down the strip for the Super Bowl.
Speaker 4 (16:02):
Same thing here with this is gonna.
Speaker 1 (16:03):
Score twenty five in the first quarter. He's no one
else is going to take a shot except for Luca
in the first gun.
Speaker 3 (16:08):
That would be something. He's gonna get tired, Davitsky would
be fired up. Well, if he gets tired, then every league.
If he gets tired, what happens.
Speaker 1 (16:15):
No, No, the NBA said they're gonna call a time
out specially for him to get whatever he needs, and
then they'll start the game again.
Speaker 4 (16:23):
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, don't get good A long long
commercial timeout. Yeah yeah yeah. Lebron starts like grabbing at
his ankle for a second.
Speaker 1 (16:30):
Well, we're not even gonna see Lebron tonight. It's no, no, no, no,
it's it's just gonna be looke. How many shots of
Dirk Noavitski.
Speaker 4 (16:35):

Speaker 4 (16:51):
Now, nobody's coming tonight. It's all the Mavericks guys. They're
all chirs. Derek Harper, Yeah, sure, Blando Blackman will be there.
Actually a big wire. Oh yeah, yeah no, Sean Marion
sure yeah. Look at everybody. We've got an there. Yeah
that's good.
Speaker 1 (17:03):
Yeah, because I glad to bring up a guy I
had a better shooting for him. Then after I bring
him up, just would shoot the ball from his stomach.
I mean, he made a lot of money, but.
Speaker 3 (17:11):
He shoot them all from his stomach. I was gonna
say it seemed to have worked out. I can't fault
every straight time I shot them off the summit.
Speaker 1 (17:16):
Coach would say from the Hio Smith High, you're just
gonna get a block.
Speaker 4 (17:20):
You don't want to get your shit. I got a perimeter.
Speaker 1 (17:22):
Can I choose yelling before you jump in and just
start talking. You feel like my coach, I'm like, coach,
stop talking for five seconds. Just stop for five seconds, Okay,
shee and now he throw me out of practice, and
that's how That's what I would have done right there.
Uh As, We'll have more on this coming up in
a couple of minutes. Again, uh Luca warming up, he
is going to he is in Laker gear, he is

Speaker 4 (17:48):
But first we.
Speaker 1 (17:50):
Head the hotline right now to take a look back
at Super Bowl fifty nine and ahead to next season
with long time front of the show NFL Insider. He's
on Twitter at Jason and for check them out on
Odyssey one oh five seven the Fan in Baltimore, Washington
Post Jenny, what's happening.
Speaker 5 (18:06):
Bud, what's going on? Gentlemen? The question is will Luca
covered tonight? That's what That's what I want to know.
Speaker 4 (18:14):
Okay, what do you have the mat?
Speaker 5 (18:17):
I jumped it too early. I play a lot of
lines early, so I've actually got it at thirteen. So
it's a couple down from there. Okay, Yeah, yeah, I
mean the Lakers, the Lakers to take care of from Beeswax.
Speaker 1 (18:28):
I think they will all right, now, you know we
talked about this or to start the show.
Speaker 4 (18:33):
Yeah, We're waiting to see. If something big happens, we'll
let you know.
Speaker 1 (18:37):
But it kind of felt like yesterday that sort of
felt like the end of the Chiefs dynasty.
Speaker 4 (18:43):
Not that they can't compete, and they may be able to.
Speaker 1 (18:45):
Maybe I could see them winning another Super Bowl, but boy,
that's kind of how dynasty's jay. The Eagles kind of
laid bare all the stuff that that that they struggled with,
and the AFC is getting better and all all the
powers in the NFC, now that's that's good. It's going
to be tough sledding for the it's been Mahomes. Kelsey
looks like he's done.
Speaker 5 (19:05):
Okay, But what did Tampa do to them about four
years ago?
Speaker 4 (19:11):
They did the same thing.
Speaker 5 (19:13):
And how has it worked out for the chief since
I did pretty well nothing but Championship game, since Travis Kelsey.
Speaker 1 (19:20):
Was thirty one and things were okay, they remade the
offensive line, they could do some things after.
Speaker 5 (19:25):
That again, they can do that again. They can go okay,
Like four years ago, they went and got Orlando Brown
from the Ravens to be a replacement level left tackle,
and they went and spent a lot of money and
they signed Joe Toney and you know, they had a
great draft and they drafted really well. I mean, look
(19:46):
this year, they could not run the football. I don't
know what's up with the checko. If that's a long
term thing. I think you can find value at running
back just like they found him. But they'll fix the
offensive line. I mean, I think, you know, people tend
to go overboard one way or the other. But it's
a really good front office. It's one of the best
(20:07):
coaches in NFL history. They've got some morts and blemishes
like everybody else. But you know, that was one of
those days. That's a snowball, and they haven't been on
the other side of very many of those. So I
think it lends itself to you know, sweeping conclusions and
this or that. But like, I mean, who's going to
Arrowhead and beat them? You know what I mean? Like
(20:28):
Joe Burdo has done that, but like who else, Like
I gotta see somebody else beat them in Arrowheads with
a trip to the super Bowl on the line. Before
I start talking about maybe they're best is behind them,
or you know, maybe they're not. Maybe they're not going
to get back to the Promised Land anymore. Like I
don't know. They were pretty flawed football team this year, definitely,
(20:49):
and Patrick Mahomes still found a way to only lose
twice because Christmas Day at twenty twenty three. So I
think Mahomes have a better year next year. I think
it stands a reason they can have a better off
defensive line that they won't have to go through five
different left tackles at least four. And you know, defensively,
(21:10):
I think we know what's bags can do, and that's
that's a group that you know, I think Chris Jones
is one more running him now. They got to they
got to keep him on more of a pitch count.
I mean, like they've got to do things in the trenches.
But you know, I think Tony and Freed, Humphrey inside,
whoever the right guard is, I don't think will matter
(21:30):
that much. That group will be good. And if they
went and signed like Ronnie Stanley and he got two years
out of Ronnie Stanley, like they got two years out
of Orlando Brown, I don't know, man, I'm not ready
to write him off by any stretch of the imagination.
I think they can have a better roster with not
a whole lot of tinkering this time next year getting
(21:53):
right back. They're getting rights like they could have two
legitimate downfield threats next year and an offensive line that
blocks well enough to actually utilize them.
Speaker 4 (22:03):
Yeah, you got Ronnie Stanley leaving.
Speaker 3 (22:04):
You finally got him healthy for a full season, and
you're kicking him out of town.
Speaker 5 (22:08):
Eagle Rosengarten will move over to the left tackle from
right tackle.
Speaker 3 (22:12):
All right, Well he had a good run. So let's
go to the victors on that other side. Are we
setting up to where we start talking about, you know,
the Eagles with some of those laudatory terms, and what
does it all mean for Nick Sirianni Man.
Speaker 5 (22:24):
It's so hard to repeat, you know, I just it
just is. You know, the Patriots had away and the
Chiefs have a way and Seattle, you know, went back
to back, but blew it the second time. It's tough.
But I think they'll be incredibly active. I would not
be surprised if they landed Miles Garrett. Nothing that those
(22:48):
guys would do from an ownership willing to spend standpoint,
and an aggression standpoint from Harriett Roseman, nothing would surprise me.
So I'm sure they will have a phenomenal roster next year.
I think the NFC is still more watered down in
the a f C. I think the NFC lacks the
caliber quarterbacks of the a FC, and I think Washington's
(23:11):
going to find it. Just it's just going to be
a little more difficult next year. I just think it's
going to be and not even a reflect on the quarterback.
But this is the ultimate team sport, and so you know, yeah,
I think you know, the Eagles don't have a whole
lot of free agents they have to deal with, and
like if Sweat leaves and they replace some Obles Garrett,
(23:32):
I think people would say that's an upgrade. So much
of that defense is young and hungry on their rookie contracts,
and they're not worried about the money. So yeah, they're
they're they're going to be They're going to be fundable.
They had a blip of about six weeks last season
(23:53):
right where the season got away from them and things turned.
But outside of that window, you've got a three year
body of work. Queer, they just basically win football games,
you know, September, October, November, December, and a little bit
into January.
Speaker 4 (24:07):
I just can't get over how you know.
Speaker 1 (24:09):
This is one of our things we've talked on the
show all season is the Eagles always feel like they
have one foot on the banana peel at all times,
no matter how good things are going through, they're just
one step away from disaster. But this is when they're
at their best. They love the chaos and they're able
to flourish in it, unlike any team I can remember
where one bad game or one look from j Brown
(24:30):
to Nick Sirianni and suddenly it's, oh, he's gonna get fired.
They don't like him, someone's gonna get them. And still
the Eagles find a way to not just win, but
win like.
Speaker 5 (24:38):
This well, and I think this really does put an
end to that. And look, I firmly believe if they
blow that game to the Rams and it looked like
it was going to happen, that I think they fired
Nick Sirianni. I just I do. We'll never know, and
thankfully for Eagle fans, they definitely will never know. But
(24:58):
like you win a super look, I'm not saying it
buys you forever, as Doug Peterson, but it buys you
at least I think three years. And they did deal
with a lot of madness this year, and like Brandon
Graham coming out on his Player show, you know what
I mean, and Aaron dirty laundry and we're reading books
on the sidelines, and you know, Siriani's getting into it
(25:20):
with the fans. But they have now proven that they
can deal with all that and when the most important
games of the year. Yeah, I mean, they're built for
their environment, like if they do have to, you know,
they host playoff games next year and the weather's really
(25:41):
crappy like that, that's right up their alley. So you know,
they're built for the elements. And maybe next year they
can even back off Saquon a little bit more than
they did this year. Yeah, look, they're gonna be a
tough out.
Speaker 3 (25:57):
Jason locking for our guests Jason switch Ow with Mike
here Fox Sports or Radio from the Tirack dot Com
studios at Jason Lockervore, where you find him on Twitter
one to five to seven, the fan in Baltimore. The
Washington Post our guy joins us each and every week
during the season. So Smith's lamenting the fact that Aaron
Rodgers took a plane ride and it was told to
beat it. So does he complete the whole Brett fav
(26:20):
package and show up as a Viking.
Speaker 4 (26:22):
Is he a Raider? What happens in twenty twenty five?
Speaker 5 (26:25):
Man, I don't know, Maybe the Raiders, I mean, just
because you've got Tom Brady, who obviously is a football
savant but hasn't proven to be a team building savant.
He's gonna want to win, I think quickly, and I
don't think he could handle a whole bunch of four
and twelve rebuilding seasons, so that might appeal to him.
(26:46):
And he knows what it's like to be an aging quarterback.
And Pete Carroll at seventy three time is not on
his side, so like, you know, you could maybe selling
on that, I guess, but I don't see a lot
of natural fits. And look this idea that like, oh
now he's out in New York. He beep out in
(27:07):
New York since he started talking about the owner's kids,
Like let's be real, like he didn't want to be
there and they didn't want him back, and Woody Johnson
was not paying that guy that money anymore. That was
obvious to anybody who was paying attention a while ago
when they get around there formerly telling him or whatever
doesn't matter. Aaron Glenn was not dealing with that guy
(27:27):
BS as a rookie head coach. It was an impossibility.
And yeah, I don't know what his price point is.
I don't know how badly he wants to try to
put an exclamation point on a decaying career like I don't.
I don't know where his head is. But I don't
see a huge payday out there for him, and I
don't see anything close to a bidding war.
Speaker 4 (27:48):
He's on Twitter.
Speaker 1 (27:49):
At Jason locking for That is at Jason lock and
for check him out Washington Post one five seven the
Fan in Baltimore, Odyssey, Jay, they are still waiting holding
the tip for the Jazz and the Lakers. Your bed

of the best twenty twenty two, was it really?
Speaker 4 (28:55):
But came down the end. You just came down to
the end Puppy Bowl. Yeah, Like there were prop bets.
Speaker 1 (28:59):
For the Puppy Bowl degeneracy at its best, and I
guess it's now.

It's kind of a dog week because it goes right
from the Puppy Bowl into the Westminster Oh yeah, yeah,
I mean we got we go right from that. Today.
It's a week of celebrate.
Speaker 3 (29:14):
We were starting to scout dogs before. I mean it
was really shiny. I don't know what they put on him.
It was made little bit much.
Speaker 4 (29:20):
The shiny one came in second yeah, and the poodle
mix came in first.
Speaker 3 (29:23):
Okay, but then you got Dustin Rhodes has a dog
named Beast.
Speaker 1 (29:26):
I bet it's performed, spray painted with a cape and everything.
It's gonna it's gonna leap that the judge is gonna
be looking around, going where's that dog? And the dog
leaps out out of the judges, back out of nowhere,
and the judges going, I got it off, I got
it up.
Speaker 3 (29:40):
Does he have to keep convincing folks that the gold
paint is non toxic.
Speaker 4 (29:44):
And the dog just going.
Speaker 3 (29:49):
It whole hell has broken loose hair, by god, monsoon.
Speaker 1 (29:54):
Oh we got more coming up in ninety seconds. But first,
a man who once entered his dog really in the
Westminster Dog and Kennel Show and he got eliminated and
was called off because of steroids. Steve de Sager with
what's trending.
Speaker 6 (30:08):
I did see a clip where it was a cute
beagle making the run around the you know how they
kind of take a lap with the owners around the
with the judges, and the caption was simply.
Speaker 4 (30:19):
B E A G L E S bagles. At least
they spelled it right. Very good. Yeah, I like some
p B L G L E Yes, Yes, happens.
Speaker 3 (30:34):
When Kurt Menafie tried to get a fan to do
that during the pregame, I misspelled the Eagles.
Speaker 4 (30:40):
Yes.
Speaker 6 (30:40):
Did you see the pregame segment on Jimmy Johnson, Yes,
with the AI that that was truly amazing.
Speaker 4 (30:46):
Yeah response after that, that was quite a segment.
Speaker 2 (30:52):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Jason Smith
Show with Mike Harmon weekdays at ten pm Eastern, seven
pm Pacific.
Speaker 7 (30:59):
Have the other car? Where is number of seventy seven
six seven seven of the campaign? Buck slow, Vidia, Luca.
Speaker 3 (31:08):
Top chair, slow veniad where's the juice.
Speaker 4 (31:16):
On a map? That's how he does? How long center
does it? Vina? You do a Game of Thrones there?
Two minutes, two minutes. I'll go with the two minutes.
Speaker 3 (31:26):
But like, there's no juice to that Laker people.
Speaker 7 (31:30):
At the other guard where is number of seventy seven
six seven seven of the campaign? Buck slow Media Luca
top chair?
Speaker 4 (31:41):
Probably because Lebron said, hey, you're gonna give luc a
great interest. Yeah, I got all this plan.
Speaker 1 (31:45):
No, no, no, you just say his name, Okay, I'm
gonna cheat out.
Speaker 3 (31:49):
That name was a fat Slow about that from Slow
Venio uh.
Speaker 1 (31:55):
So that was the intro for Luka Doncic. He has
not scored yet. He has missed the three opening play
of the game for the Lakers. He drives the lane
Ali oop to Hayes, who leaves the Lakers with four
points so far.
Speaker 4 (32:07):
Hayes uh.
Speaker 1 (32:08):
The Jazz playing the part of the Washington General tonight
trail the Lakers now eleven ten after an Austin Reeves
three again, Luka Donzic over one from the floor with
and assist.
Speaker 4 (32:20):
We'll have more on this coming up in about ten minutes.
Speaker 3 (32:23):
Slow pretty good though they get a couple of games
against the Jazz to get yourself.
Speaker 4 (32:30):
Come on the Generals and can't beat us.
Speaker 5 (32:32):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (32:33):
We talked a couple of weeks ago about how there
are five true superstar quarterbacks in the NFL. The big
four were Mahomes, Alan Jackson, and Burrow. Now add Jaden
Daniels to that list. The players who can win games
by themselves, players who can make everybody around them better,
win with weapons, win without weapons. That's the truth staff
(32:54):
and there's four superstar quarterbacks and the way what he's
done this year. Add Jade and Daniels to that after Sunday,
because of how he played and his continued ascension, that's
going to be likely in twenty twenty five. We're gonna
have to make it six for Jalen Hurts.
Speaker 5 (33:10):
Right.
Speaker 4 (33:10):
I know that he.
Speaker 1 (33:11):
Wasn't the popular choice for MVP because the defensive line
really owned the game. It was the story of the game. Okay,
but you know we kind of knew going in their
line was going to be good. Jalen Hurts what he
did on Sunday, on a day where Saquon Barkley had
difficulty running the football because the chief said, Okay, we're
gonna make Jalen Hurts beat us. Hurts had an MVP
(33:32):
type game. He was calm, He was in control. His
decision making outside of the first interception was incredible, whatever
word you want to use, poise. He was in control
of the game and there was never a moment where
I thought he was going to cost them. Following that interception,
he played about as masterful a game as you can.
He took exactly what the defense wanted to give him.
(33:52):
He knew when to take his shots, he knew when
to when to tuck and run. Right, I mean, oh,
they're going to hold onto the ball here, No, he
goes deep. That was a great call, the big long
touchdown pass to really put the game out of reach.
Jalen Hurts was phenomenal. This is a guy that kind
of announced himself with an MVP candidacy a couple of
years ago, and now he's got the Super Bowl MVP
with teams that are gonna key on Saquon Barkley next year.
(34:13):
He is going to continue his ascension and you got
to make room.
Speaker 5 (34:16):
Now.
Speaker 1 (34:16):
We had four superstar quarterbacks the last couple of years,
and nobody else had really made that list. Now this
year we're gonna add two with Daniels and adding Jalen Hurt.
Speaker 3 (34:24):
Oh school that you also had a commercial in plays
ready to say, hey you hated him him?
Speaker 4 (34:29):
I was kind of done with that whole everybody reminding
Jalen Hurts, Hey everybody did like you. Everybody?
Speaker 1 (34:34):
Hey, come on, man, what would the guy just won
the Super Bowl? You have to hey, Jalen, nobody thought
you could do this. Oh whoa whoa dude, dude's got
to get.
Speaker 4 (34:41):
A big Yeah, what are you talking about?
Speaker 5 (34:43):
Man?
Speaker 3 (34:43):
Does anybody actually go back and watch the Super Bowl
from two years ago.
Speaker 4 (34:47):
How many like he all played Mahomes. Yes, he was terrific.
It was amazing in that game. Yeah, and then he
comes out and does it again here.
Speaker 3 (34:54):
You know, you have a big shot to Brown that
gets taken off the board right away, right because of
the offensive pass interference and a lot of hand ringing
and certainly the twitter fingers were a buzz, but took
what they gave him, still waiting for the defensive back
to explain how he couldn't turn around on that touchdown
to Devonte Smith. Never looked for the ball, saw the
(35:15):
guy putting his hands in position, never looked back to see. Well, anyway,
it accounts all the same, and it's not lost that
there was your first Alabama touchdown non quarterback in a
Super Bowl. So he got that and hurts a couple
of touchdown throws and a touchdown run. So we're yelling
about the tush pushing in. Look, he took advantage of
(35:36):
the big show and he's been on that stage twice
and he's been fantastic. You don't have to love it
game to game because they don't have to rely on
him to throw the ball thirty five times. And this
is where we get into the weird spot of the
NFL in twenty twenty four. We want to exalt all
the massive passing stats we mocked as a collective media.
Speaker 4 (35:57):
Not this guy.
Speaker 3 (35:58):
Mahomes Is stat for the year he didn't have a
get he was still with thirty nine hundred yards still
through twenty Like, what are we doing just because it's
not pinball numbers for your fantasy team and they didn't
cover the number a couple of times.
Speaker 4 (36:12):
Get over yourselves.
Speaker 3 (36:13):
For Jalen Hurts, he did what was asked of him
and sakwon Barkley. I want to give him points so
I can give him some of the MVP votes he
didn't get last week for the fact that he was
also the lead blocker on a couple of those Jalen
Hurts runs.
Speaker 4 (36:28):
They don't count in the scorecard, but they did in
my heart.
Speaker 1 (36:31):
Rockets on the dream ad would take me Home Country
Roads with the one I remember most from Sunday. Why
because Rockets are minding us. We all deserve a shot
at the American dream of owning a home and that's
kind of a big deal. Meg Room on that Mount
Rushmore NFL Superstar Quarterbacks Now for Jalen Hurts. Coming up next,

for the next four hours my card.
Speaker 3 (01:05):
Well, I mean, since we are coming to you live
from Los Angeles and the car flags are out and
people are fired up. I saw more Lakers gear, a
lot of sweatshirts seemingly sold in the last week.
Speaker 4 (01:17):
I don't remember seeing that Hooty Weather, but I don't
normally see that much outerwear of Lakers. Normally it's T
shirts yeah, some shorts, yeah.
Speaker 3 (01:24):
But and in jerseys if you go down along the
beach and whatever. But here like lots of sweatshirts and
jackets suddenly making their way back out as people wanted
to show their colors. And maybe it's also the anti
Anthony Davis after he gets hurt, saying we got rid
of him, and we got that guy, so let's get
after that. And Lebron's suddenly healthy to play. Well, How
(01:45):
great is that? How great is that that his ankle
healed so quickly?
Speaker 1 (01:53):
I see, I want to watch detective shows with you
because you Oh my god, I didn't see that coming.
That guy's the murderer, dick. Come on, man, you didn't know.
Speaker 3 (02:00):
This is where you, as a team and as an individual,
you should be fined heavily for that nonsense.
Speaker 1 (02:06):
Didn't see that like like two segments ago that kind
of foreshadowed this guy was a killer.
Speaker 4 (02:10):
Oh, I can't believe that of course.
Speaker 1 (02:12):
That's gonna happen, and you know trash and you know
it's gonna go out too, and Luke is gonna get introduced. Last,
of course, Lebron will do the whole. Hey, it's okay
for you to be introduced last year. It's absolutely fine.
It's your first game. We'll talk about the rest of it,
but right now, it's fine. You'll get introduced first.
Speaker 3 (02:26):
I do like that Lebron is leaned in fully. You
is seen wearing the Luca giveaway T shirt earlier today,
So I mean you want to talk about, Hey, I'm
the greatest team and look what I did. I'm like,
Steph Curry, welcome to my team.
Speaker 4 (02:42):
We told you the beginning. Wall is he gonna stay
with the Lakers? How mad is he? He was giddy.
He was like, there's no way you can tell me
he didn't know what's happening.
Speaker 1 (02:50):
He was giddy as a schoolboy doing his postgame interview
with the Knicks before the trade was even.
Speaker 4 (02:54):
An Now, beating the Knicks, you got so many Hanks
like you.
Speaker 3 (02:58):
But he's celebrating Dagadgadega, Dagga bruns and bruns and brothers.
Speaker 4 (03:02):
And Big Bodega not just Bodega.
Speaker 3 (03:04):
Okay, the god Saturday he was bode It's fine, we
want to you know, someone had smashed the front window
and the Lakers him they had to shut down because
they had to clean up the glass.
Speaker 4 (03:15):
Not they hurt Anonobe on purpose. I got a key
Frostburg's car. No, they hurt him on.
Speaker 1 (03:19):
Purs So clearly, clearly the headline also the return of
Dalton connect Oh, by the way, yeah, the trade getting rescinded.
Speaker 4 (03:27):
That was going to remake the Lakers night.
Speaker 3 (03:29):
Was that though, But I mean we had Monday through
Wednesday all the NBA stuff, Thursday the deadline, then we
had m VP and and and Hall of Fame snub.
So we got that Thursday Friday. The Williams trade was
such a big deal and then it gets rescinded. But
you know what, you can't take back the segment you did.
It was great radio in the moment of what could be,
even though I was the old guy going and I
(03:50):
want to see physically what happened, and then it doesn't
even clear.
Speaker 4 (03:53):
Ah, it was great though. Look it was out down
Connects bag.
Speaker 1 (03:57):
It's okay, sure, I mean, really you think Rob Polinkott
just said Dalton.
Speaker 4 (04:02):
It's just business. It's never person, never personal.
Speaker 1 (04:05):
Okay, just get back out there and expect you to
give one hundred and ten percent. You canna be pissed
off of you all you want. You're gonna give me
the middle finger to my back when I walk away
in this great designer jacket and pants that'll go down
to kind of my ankles. They paint it on that
jacket the way the cool people wear them. I know
you're gonna do that to me, but just that's the
last time on the floor.
Speaker 4 (04:24):
It's business. See.
Speaker 3 (04:25):
I think you painted that jacket on him like you put,
you know, spray into your attic.
Speaker 4 (04:32):
It's one of those one of those.
Speaker 1 (04:34):
It's one of those jackets that you wear when you
go to one of those big sheshi uh, like an
on Rodeo Drive or on Sunset Boulevard where you walk
in and there's like two of the jacket and there's
like one in a small and one's in a medium,
and like that's all they have. How much is that jacket?
It's thirteen thousand dollars. What do you have here? Small
(04:55):
and a medium? Do you want one of these? That's
that's when that custome order a large hats. That's why
six for a little extra extra fabric. But yeah, the
Dalton connects like you're gonna ball out.
Speaker 3 (05:05):
You're gonna get a lot of open shots, and then
at the end of the year we're gonna drain you
don't miss again.
Speaker 1 (05:10):
Don't miss, just don't miss. So we'll have that. That's
coming up again in about twenty five minutes. Uh luka
Donc's first game with the Lakers as the Lakers take
on the Jazz again, seven thirty tip time. Meanwhile, as
we Bounce, I told you, we bounced, We bounced a bound.
Speaker 4 (05:25):
The Super Bowl.
Speaker 1 (05:26):
One hundred and twenty six million people apparently watched Super
Bowl licks. As we told you last week, there was
zero correlation between a lack of buzz for the Super
Bowl and the people who actually watch it.
Speaker 3 (05:36):
Capt out of one yes said, nobody will buy whatever
metrics you're measuring.
Speaker 1 (05:41):
As you told you up until yesterday, the Chiefs were
the Evil Empire, and there was a lot of interest
in seeing them lose.
Speaker 4 (05:47):
There just was as much interest in hearing the three
pete and the Goat talk with Mahomes when we've seen
this matchup before. There wasn't as much interest in that
over the course of the weekend. Oh, by the way, yes,
the Luca ad trade, but there's zer euro correlation between
that because some years there's tons of buzz what I say,
last week, tons of buzz one hundred and ten million
people watch. Other years not a lot of buzz one
(06:08):
hundred and ten million people watch. Oh, by the way,
got it wrong, because this will now be the highest
rated super Bowl of all time when you count everybody
watching on all those different ways. And what quibi to me?
Speaker 5 (06:18):
To me?
Speaker 1 (06:19):
Didn't they don't they make Wait, don't they make really
good the suitcases and stuff? Isn't that the company different?
It's kind of like yet and we start fighting about it.
That's the glass now that that's the glass.
Speaker 5 (06:30):
No.
Speaker 1 (06:31):
No, no, like the big, the big, the great new
uh like that big one, the one big, very very
expensive suitcase store and travel bag stuff in the Mall right,
isn't that That's what I thought? That wasn't like, Oh,
this is streaming service? Oh got it? Got it to.
Speaker 4 (06:46):
Me to me, yes, and this and this TV was
to to be okay.
Speaker 3 (06:53):
Yeah, my my my daughter working as a caretaker, she
was able to stream on to b uh for all
all the folks that she's working with DJ clearly for
the Super Bowl this was to be or.
Speaker 4 (07:06):
Not to be for Mahmes and the Chiefs. Well played.
Speaker 3 (07:10):
Yeah, but congratulations are teammates at Fox. A hell of
a run up the AI and history of Jimmy Johnson
was fantastic. I'm glad there was no retirement announcement there
and just a great pregame all the way through the broadcast.
It was a good time.
Speaker 5 (07:25):
Now.
Speaker 1 (07:25):
The first big takeaway from the Super Bowl isn't this
I'm never gonna get to go to Kansas City again?
Speaker 4 (07:31):
Is that this.
Speaker 1 (07:33):
Sort of feels like the end of the run for
the Chiefs. This is kind of how dynasties end like this,
They end shockingly, They end with really difficult defeats where
all of your faults are laid bare. Right Philadelphia expose
(07:53):
Kansas City's offensive line. Travis Kelce looks like he has
done the back seven of the Eagles. Saw the Chiefs
say we couldn't solve them there. It wasn't just hey,
Mahomes turned the football over, which he did. He was
trying to make plays from the beginning of the game,
almost like he could tell we are up against a
different animal than we've played against this season. But this
is how dynasties end. The Chiefs kind of they got
(08:15):
by all year. They were a great fourth quarter, clutch team.
But now you play a team with a better roster
and they get dominated from the opening jump. They had
no energy. They were flat. You didn't think team's gonna
be flat in the Superowl. They had no energy, they
had no confidence. Travis Kelcey even said after the game,
we just couldn't get go. We couldn't get going. This
is what happens when you get a team that dominates
(08:36):
you in all those areas, and the way the defensive
line controlled the game. This is sort of how dynasties end,
and they they end in a flash. Because now the Chiefs,
you can see the way the last few years have
gone too Super Bowls. They get to a third and boy,
they just get boat raced. The teams in the AFC
are getting better. Mahomes is running out of options and weapons. Yes,
(08:59):
a great day for Xavier Worthy, most of it in
garbage time, so maybe he can be a big weapon,
but he's had Kelsey, the best tight end in the NFL.
Speaker 4 (09:07):
The last year is now it looks.
Speaker 1 (09:08):
Like Travis Kelcey is finished, because boy, this playoff should
have been when he shined, and instead he had one
good game of a couple of games where you couldn't
even find him. And while Mahomes is still a great quarterback,
you're not going to see the level of excellence that
we have because other teams are younger and passing them by,
and you can't just keep reloading on the fly. Eventually
you get to a point where we're missing too many weapons.
(09:28):
How are we gonna do this? It's almost like you
look at the Warriors at the end.
Speaker 4 (09:32):
Of their run.
Speaker 1 (09:32):
Hey boy, look it just stopped for them right away. Boy,
they got a little bit older, the other teams got better.
Tiger Woods at the end, boy, it just stopped for him.
Everybody else was getting better, he was getting older. Doesn't
mean they can't win another one, because I could see
him one more. Kind of like Tiger getting the last Masters.
Kind of like the Warriors getting the last title. A
couple of years after they won. They squeeze that one
(09:53):
out and now you see, okay, we're really in disrepair.
I could see the Chiefs maybe getting one more. Over
the course, of the back half of Mahomes' career. But
you see all these teams in the AFC, they're all younger,
they're better. The NFC has better teams overall.
Speaker 4 (10:07):
In the AFC. We saw that.
Speaker 1 (10:09):
I would say the top four teams this year were
in the NFC overall if you did a power rankings
at the end of the Super Bowl. So this kind
of looks like it feels like the end for the
Chiefs because again, this is kind of how dynasties end.
Quick flash with a lesson of this is how it
is when you're playing at a high level, and the
Chiefs just couldn't do that at all yesterday.
Speaker 3 (10:27):
Yeah, I mean there's a big, hard reboot that has
to happen. Right for the second time, Patrick Mahomes was
chased all over a field. In this case, he got obliterated.
What six sacks and the other hits, takedowns and smash
and grab along the way, You just didn't You had
two interceptions that were not contestable balls, right, they were
(10:49):
just terrible passes, terrible reads, and he threw one in
the second possession that on that third down when he
scrambled all the way back to one of those Russell
Wilson scrambles and he just threw it up and somehow
three Eagles didn't get it.
Speaker 4 (11:01):
They all collided because they wanted the interception.
Speaker 1 (11:03):
You could tell he felt, what this we need to
push that, we need to push the envelope here.
Speaker 4 (11:08):
We can't. We can't just kind of, you know, meander
our way into the game and try to win in
the fourth quarter.
Speaker 3 (11:13):
That's not gonna Yeah, you never got one of those
excel moments the first possession when you have the drop
by Kelsey. I don't know that that goes on to
a long for track to drive, but you would at
least had all right, exhale, all right, now we get
a new set of downs, we reset, and we move on.
You have completely abandoned the run.
Speaker 4 (11:31):
I do like that.
Speaker 3 (11:31):
The defensive line you mocked me a little bit because
I really like defensive lines a lot and talked about
it last week.
Speaker 4 (11:37):
Yeah, they you could have argued that the Bears ever
since Richard defensive line I love. Yeah, but you could
but you could.
Speaker 3 (11:44):
Argue that those four well that was the fun part
in Chicago in just second is the you know those
four guys, I mean, I know you're not going to
give them an MVP as a unit, but you could
argue that they earned one along the way.
Speaker 5 (11:56):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (11:57):
But you know in Chicago they're laughing, going, yeah, this
is Whatatrick Mahomes would have been if he'd come here. Okay,
so all that revision is history.
Speaker 4 (12:04):
Again.
Speaker 3 (12:04):
You would have drafted to Shaun Watson if you want,
according to draft boards. But you know for all of
that what the Bears have been. It's like, yeah, that's
what Patrick Mahomes would have been. So people trying to
find some solace in that. But you got a hard reboot, right,
You got to figure out Travis Kelcey, as you said,
consistently a non factor in this case. A couple of drops,
couple of catches at the end, you get some more records, whatever,
(12:27):
it doesn't matter. That was all garbage time. Fact that
Mahomes was still in the game in the final minutes,
so people can push the what a gamer he is narrative.
Now they're lucky when he got hit the next time
and his arm got raked that nothing bad happened. So
you got that the offensive line was trash, and you
tried to cobble that together. It didn't work. The guys
(12:48):
that were your focal point there suddenly looked slower and
ineffective and trying to pick up for guys that shouldn't
have been on the field, your wide receivers. Yeah, Rashee
Rice was gone and were he finished the season pretty well,
but you need at least one or two more guys
DeAndre hopkint. I mean, think about that drop at the
end of the first half in the would have should
(13:08):
have cut a world Like I'm not saying you're getting
back in the game. How do you stumble on the
on the turf and not make that catch? Like at
least you might have had a little breath.
Speaker 1 (13:21):
I think there's a lot of things. Oh if that happened,
if like, if all those things happen, I still don't
know that the Chiefs can.
Speaker 3 (13:27):
No, no, no, don't. I don't think they're still winning
the game. But it would have been meant that the
game would have been entertaining other than hey, what was
the prop bet on that guy? Which is what most
of the second half was.
Speaker 4 (13:40):
It just feels like the end of the Chiefs Ninas. Oh,
it's a hard reboot in the AFC.
Speaker 3 (13:47):
You got a lot of teams you're chasing and as
you said, if you do get back to that ultimate game,
good luck exit.

it's here. We're gonna see Luca. He's going to play
for the Lakers in five minutes. Okay, half five minutes
to Luca.
Speaker 3 (15:29):
See I'd like the more the idea of it than
the practicality of it. What do you mean, just the
in theory, what it's he gonna do? And then we
actually see it.
Speaker 4 (15:38):
These pesky games are really just up too much time
because what if it doesn't live up to the height.
I mean, how's he not gonna what's he he's not
gonna score? How about this? This is great?
Speaker 3 (15:47):
The the spread in terms of his over under for tonight.
I saw it as low as twenty five and a
half yay, and as high as twenty nine. He's gonna
get to depending on where you're This is like we
were talking with Todd Furman in the backpack and one
up and down the strip for the Super Bowl.
Speaker 4 (16:02):
Same thing here with this is gonna.
Speaker 1 (16:03):
Score twenty five in the first quarter. He's no one
else is going to take a shot except for Luca
in the first gun.
Speaker 3 (16:08):
That would be something. He's gonna get tired, Davitsky would
be fired up. Well, if he gets tired, then every league.
If he gets tired, what happens.
Speaker 1 (16:15):
No, No, the NBA said they're gonna call a time
out specially for him to get whatever he needs, and
then they'll start the game again.
Speaker 4 (16:23):
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, don't get good A long long
commercial timeout. Yeah yeah yeah. Lebron starts like grabbing at
his ankle for a second.
Speaker 1 (16:30):
Well, we're not even gonna see Lebron tonight. It's no, no, no, no,
it's it's just gonna be looke. How many shots of
Dirk Noavitski.
Speaker 4 (16:35):
What's the over under?
Speaker 1 (16:37):
He's showing up? Just see his got fun out of
a big deal. Yeah, yeah, Novinsky's getting there. Any other
Laker luminary is gonna be there, Nope, just Dirk. Oh okay, great,
that's how it's gonna all all.
Speaker 4 (16:47):
Mad into the past.
Speaker 2 (16:50):
Who's coming tonight?
Speaker 4 (16:51):
Now, nobody's coming tonight. It's all the Mavericks guys. They're
all chirs. Derek Harper, Yeah, sure, Blando Blackman will be there.
Actually a big wire. Oh yeah, yeah no, Sean Marion
sure yeah. Look at everybody. We've got an there. Yeah
that's good.
Speaker 1 (17:03):
Yeah, because I glad to bring up a guy I
had a better shooting for him. Then after I bring
him up, just would shoot the ball from his stomach.
I mean, he made a lot of money, but.
Speaker 3 (17:11):
He shoot them all from his stomach. I was gonna
say it seemed to have worked out. I can't fault
every straight time I shot them off the summit.
Speaker 1 (17:16):
Coach would say from the Hio Smith High, you're just
gonna get a block.
Speaker 4 (17:20):
You don't want to get your shit. I got a perimeter.
Speaker 1 (17:22):
Can I choose yelling before you jump in and just
start talking. You feel like my coach, I'm like, coach,
stop talking for five seconds. Just stop for five seconds, Okay,
shee and now he throw me out of practice, and
that's how That's what I would have done right there.
Uh As, We'll have more on this coming up in
a couple of minutes. Again, uh Luca warming up, he
is going to he is in Laker gear, he is
(17:44):
going to play. He is wearing number seventy seven. It
is happening.
Speaker 4 (17:48):
But first we.
Speaker 1 (17:50):
Head the hotline right now to take a look back
at Super Bowl fifty nine and ahead to next season
with long time front of the show NFL Insider. He's
on Twitter at Jason and for check them out on
Odyssey one oh five seven the Fan in Baltimore, Washington
Post Jenny, what's happening.
Speaker 5 (18:06):
Bud, what's going on? Gentlemen? The question is will Luca
covered tonight? That's what That's what I want to know.
Speaker 4 (18:14):
Okay, what do you have the mat?
Speaker 5 (18:17):
I jumped it too early. I play a lot of
lines early, so I've actually got it at thirteen. So
it's a couple down from there. Okay, Yeah, yeah, I
mean the Lakers, the Lakers to take care of from Beeswax.
Speaker 1 (18:28):
I think they will all right, now, you know we
talked about this or to start the show.
Speaker 4 (18:33):
Yeah, We're waiting to see. If something big happens, we'll
let you know.
Speaker 1 (18:37):
But it kind of felt like yesterday that sort of
felt like the end of the Chiefs dynasty.
Speaker 4 (18:43):
Not that they can't compete, and they may be able to.
Speaker 1 (18:45):
Maybe I could see them winning another Super Bowl, but boy,
that's kind of how dynasty's jay. The Eagles kind of
laid bare all the stuff that that that they struggled with,
and the AFC is getting better and all all the
powers in the NFC, now that's that's good. It's going
to be tough sledding for the it's been Mahomes. Kelsey
looks like he's done.
Speaker 5 (19:05):
Okay, But what did Tampa do to them about four
years ago?
Speaker 4 (19:11):
They did the same thing.
Speaker 5 (19:13):
And how has it worked out for the chief since
I did pretty well nothing but Championship game, since Travis Kelsey.
Speaker 1 (19:20):
Was thirty one and things were okay, they remade the
offensive line, they could do some things after.
Speaker 5 (19:25):
That again, they can do that again. They can go okay,
Like four years ago, they went and got Orlando Brown
from the Ravens to be a replacement level left tackle,
and they went and spent a lot of money and
they signed Joe Toney and you know, they had a
great draft and they drafted really well. I mean, look
(19:46):
this year, they could not run the football. I don't
know what's up with the checko. If that's a long
term thing. I think you can find value at running
back just like they found him. But they'll fix the
offensive line. I mean, I think, you know, people tend
to go overboard one way or the other. But it's
a really good front office. It's one of the best
(20:07):
coaches in NFL history. They've got some morts and blemishes
like everybody else. But you know, that was one of
those days. That's a snowball, and they haven't been on
the other side of very many of those. So I
think it lends itself to you know, sweeping conclusions and
this or that. But like, I mean, who's going to
Arrowhead and beat them? You know what I mean? Like
(20:28):
Joe Burdo has done that, but like who else, Like
I gotta see somebody else beat them in Arrowheads with
a trip to the super Bowl on the line. Before
I start talking about maybe they're best is behind them,
or you know, maybe they're not. Maybe they're not going
to get back to the Promised Land anymore. Like I
don't know. They were pretty flawed football team this year, definitely,
(20:49):
and Patrick Mahomes still found a way to only lose
twice because Christmas Day at twenty twenty three. So I
think Mahomes have a better year next year. I think
it stands a reason they can have a better off
defensive line that they won't have to go through five
different left tackles at least four. And you know, defensively,
(21:10):
I think we know what's bags can do, and that's
that's a group that you know, I think Chris Jones
is one more running him now. They got to they
got to keep him on more of a pitch count.
I mean, like they've got to do things in the trenches.
But you know, I think Tony and Freed, Humphrey inside,
whoever the right guard is, I don't think will matter
(21:30):
that much. That group will be good. And if they
went and signed like Ronnie Stanley and he got two years
out of Ronnie Stanley, like they got two years out
of Orlando Brown, I don't know, man, I'm not ready
to write him off by any stretch of the imagination.
I think they can have a better roster with not
a whole lot of tinkering this time next year getting
(21:53):
right back. They're getting rights like they could have two
legitimate downfield threats next year and an offensive line that
blocks well enough to actually utilize them.
Speaker 4 (22:03):
Yeah, you got Ronnie Stanley leaving.
Speaker 3 (22:04):
You finally got him healthy for a full season, and
you're kicking him out of town.
Speaker 5 (22:08):
Eagle Rosengarten will move over to the left tackle from
right tackle.
Speaker 3 (22:12):
All right, Well he had a good run. So let's
go to the victors on that other side. Are we
setting up to where we start talking about, you know,
the Eagles with some of those laudatory terms, and what
does it all mean for Nick Sirianni Man.
Speaker 5 (22:24):
It's so hard to repeat, you know, I just it
just is. You know, the Patriots had away and the
Chiefs have a way and Seattle, you know, went back
to back, but blew it the second time. It's tough.
But I think they'll be incredibly active. I would not
be surprised if they landed Miles Garrett. Nothing that those
(22:48):
guys would do from an ownership willing to spend standpoint,
and an aggression standpoint from Harriett Roseman, nothing would surprise me.
So I'm sure they will have a phenomenal roster next year.
I think the NFC is still more watered down in
the a f C. I think the NFC lacks the
caliber quarterbacks of the a FC, and I think Washington's
(23:11):
going to find it. Just it's just going to be
a little more difficult next year. I just think it's
going to be and not even a reflect on the quarterback.
But this is the ultimate team sport, and so you know, yeah,
I think you know, the Eagles don't have a whole
lot of free agents they have to deal with, and
like if Sweat leaves and they replace some Obles Garrett,
(23:32):
I think people would say that's an upgrade. So much
of that defense is young and hungry on their rookie contracts,
and they're not worried about the money. So yeah, they're
they're they're going to be They're going to be fundable.
They had a blip of about six weeks last season
(23:53):
right where the season got away from them and things turned.
But outside of that window, you've got a three year
body of work. Queer, they just basically win football games,
you know, September, October, November, December, and a little bit
into January.
Speaker 4 (24:07):
I just can't get over how you know.
Speaker 1 (24:09):
This is one of our things we've talked on the
show all season is the Eagles always feel like they
have one foot on the banana peel at all times,
no matter how good things are going through, they're just
one step away from disaster. But this is when they're
at their best. They love the chaos and they're able
to flourish in it, unlike any team I can remember
where one bad game or one look from j Brown
(24:30):
to Nick Sirianni and suddenly it's, oh, he's gonna get fired.
They don't like him, someone's gonna get them. And still
the Eagles find a way to not just win, but
win like.
Speaker 5 (24:38):
This well, and I think this really does put an
end to that. And look, I firmly believe if they
blow that game to the Rams and it looked like
it was going to happen, that I think they fired
Nick Sirianni. I just I do. We'll never know, and
thankfully for Eagle fans, they definitely will never know. But
(24:58):
like you win a super look, I'm not saying it
buys you forever, as Doug Peterson, but it buys you
at least I think three years. And they did deal
with a lot of madness this year, and like Brandon
Graham coming out on his Player show, you know what
I mean, and Aaron dirty laundry and we're reading books
on the sidelines, and you know, Siriani's getting into it
(25:20):
with the fans. But they have now proven that they
can deal with all that and when the most important
games of the year. Yeah, I mean, they're built for
their environment, like if they do have to, you know,
they host playoff games next year and the weather's really
(25:41):
crappy like that, that's right up their alley. So you know,
they're built for the elements. And maybe next year they
can even back off Saquon a little bit more than
they did this year. Yeah, look, they're gonna be a
tough out.
Speaker 3 (25:57):
Jason locking for our guests Jason switch Ow with Mike
here Fox Sports or Radio from the Tirack dot Com
studios at Jason Lockervore, where you find him on Twitter
one to five to seven, the fan in Baltimore. The
Washington Post our guy joins us each and every week
during the season. So Smith's lamenting the fact that Aaron
Rodgers took a plane ride and it was told to
beat it. So does he complete the whole Brett fav
(26:20):
package and show up as a Viking.
Speaker 4 (26:22):
Is he a Raider? What happens in twenty twenty five?
Speaker 5 (26:25):
Man, I don't know, Maybe the Raiders, I mean, just
because you've got Tom Brady, who obviously is a football
savant but hasn't proven to be a team building savant.
He's gonna want to win, I think quickly, and I
don't think he could handle a whole bunch of four
and twelve rebuilding seasons, so that might appeal to him.
(26:46):
And he knows what it's like to be an aging quarterback.
And Pete Carroll at seventy three time is not on
his side, so like, you know, you could maybe selling
on that, I guess, but I don't see a lot
of natural fits. And look this idea that like, oh
now he's out in New York. He beep out in
(27:07):
New York since he started talking about the owner's kids,
Like let's be real, like he didn't want to be
there and they didn't want him back, and Woody Johnson
was not paying that guy that money anymore. That was
obvious to anybody who was paying attention a while ago
when they get around there formerly telling him or whatever
doesn't matter. Aaron Glenn was not dealing with that guy
(27:27):
BS as a rookie head coach. It was an impossibility.
And yeah, I don't know what his price point is.
I don't know how badly he wants to try to
put an exclamation point on a decaying career like I don't.
I don't know where his head is. But I don't
see a huge payday out there for him, and I
don't see anything close to a bidding war.
Speaker 4 (27:48):
He's on Twitter.
Speaker 1 (27:49):
At Jason locking for That is at Jason lock and
for check him out Washington Post one five seven the

six seven seven of the campaign? Buck slow Media Luca

Speaker 4 (31:41):
Probably because Lebron said, hey, you're gonna give luc a
great interest. Yeah, I got all this plan.
Speaker 1 (31:45):

Speaker 3 (31:49):
That name was a fat Slow about that from Slow

Speaker 1 (31:55):
So that was the intro for Luka Doncic. He has
not scored yet. He has missed the three opening play
of the game for the Lakers. He drives the lane
Ali oop to Hayes, who leaves the Lakers with four
points so far.
Speaker 4 (32:07):
Hayes uh.
Speaker 1 (32:08):
The Jazz playing the part of the Washington General tonight
trail the Lakers now eleven ten after an Austin Reeves
three again, Luka Donzic over one from the floor with
and assist.
Speaker 4 (32:20):
We'll have more on this coming up in about ten minutes.
Speaker 3 (32:23):
Slow pretty good though they get a couple of games
against the Jazz to get yourself.
Speaker 4 (32:30):
Come on the Generals and can't beat us.
Speaker 5 (32:32):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (32:33):
We talked a couple of weeks ago about how there
are five true superstar quarterbacks in the NFL. The big
four were Mahomes, Alan Jackson, and Burrow. Now add Jaden
Daniels to that list. The players who can win games
by themselves, players who can make everybody around them better,
win with weapons, win without weapons. That's the truth staff
(32:54):
and there's four superstar quarterbacks and the way what he's
done this year. Add Jade and Daniels to that after Sunday,
because of how he played and his continued ascension, that's
going to be likely in twenty twenty five. We're gonna
have to make it six for Jalen Hurts.
Speaker 5 (33:10):
Right.
Speaker 4 (33:10):
I know that he.
Speaker 1 (33:11):
Wasn't the popular choice for MVP because the defensive line
really owned the game. It was the story of the game. Okay,
but you know we kind of knew going in their
line was going to be good. Jalen Hurts what he
did on Sunday, on a day where Saquon Barkley had
difficulty running the football because the chief said, Okay, we're
gonna make Jalen Hurts beat us. Hurts had an MVP
(33:32):
type game. He was calm, He was in control. His
decision making outside of the first interception was incredible, whatever
word you want to use, poise. He was in control
of the game and there was never a moment where
I thought he was going to cost them. Following that interception,
he played about as masterful a game as you can.
He took exactly what the defense wanted to give him.
(33:52):
He knew when to take his shots, he knew when
to when to tuck and run. Right, I mean, oh,
they're going to hold onto the ball here, No, he
goes deep. That was a great call, the big long
touchdown pass to really put the game out of reach.
Jalen Hurts was phenomenal. This is a guy that kind
of announced himself with an MVP candidacy a couple of
years ago, and now he's got the Super Bowl MVP
with teams that are gonna key on Saquon Barkley next year.
(34:13):
He is going to continue his ascension and you got
to make room.
Speaker 5 (34:16):
Now.
Speaker 1 (34:16):
We had four superstar quarterbacks the last couple of years,
and nobody else had really made that list. Now this
year we're gonna add two with Daniels and adding Jalen Hurt.
Speaker 3 (34:24):
Oh school that you also had a commercial in plays
ready to say, hey you hated him him?
Speaker 4 (34:29):
I was kind of done with that whole everybody reminding
Jalen Hurts, Hey everybody did like you. Everybody?
Speaker 1 (34:34):
Hey, come on, man, what would the guy just won
the Super Bowl? You have to hey, Jalen, nobody thought
you could do this. Oh whoa whoa dude, dude's got
to get.
Speaker 4 (34:41):
A big Yeah, what are you talking about?
Speaker 5 (34:43):
Man?
Speaker 3 (34:43):
Does anybody actually go back and watch the Super Bowl
from two years ago.
Speaker 4 (34:47):
How many like he all played Mahomes. Yes, he was terrific.
It was amazing in that game. Yeah, and then he
comes out and does it again here.
Speaker 3 (34:54):
You know, you have a big shot to Brown that
gets taken off the board right away, right because of
the offensive pass interference and a lot of hand ringing
and certainly the twitter fingers were a buzz, but took
what they gave him, still waiting for the defensive back
to explain how he couldn't turn around on that touchdown
to Devonte Smith. Never looked for the ball, saw the
(35:15):
guy putting his hands in position, never looked back to see. Well, anyway,
it accounts all the same, and it's not lost that
there was your first Alabama touchdown non quarterback in a
Super Bowl. So he got that and hurts a couple
of touchdown throws and a touchdown run. So we're yelling
about the tush pushing in. Look, he took advantage of
(35:36):
the big show and he's been on that stage twice
and he's been fantastic. You don't have to love it
game to game because they don't have to rely on
him to throw the ball thirty five times. And this
is where we get into the weird spot of the
NFL in twenty twenty four. We want to exalt all
the massive passing stats we mocked as a collective media.
Speaker 4 (35:57):
Not this guy.
Speaker 3 (35:58):
Mahomes Is stat for the year he didn't have a
get he was still with thirty nine hundred yards still
through twenty Like, what are we doing just because it's
not pinball numbers for your fantasy team and they didn't
cover the number a couple of times.
Speaker 4 (36:12):
Get over yourselves.
Speaker 3 (36:13):
For Jalen Hurts, he did what was asked of him
and sakwon Barkley. I want to give him points so
I can give him some of the MVP votes he
didn't get last week for the fact that he was
also the lead blocker on a couple of those Jalen
Hurts runs.
Speaker 4 (36:28):
They don't count in the scorecard, but they did in
my heart.
Speaker 1 (36:31):
Rockets on the dream ad would take me Home Country
Roads with the one I remember most from Sunday. Why
because Rockets are minding us. We all deserve a shot
at the American dream of owning a home and that's
kind of a big deal. Meg Room on that Mount
