I mean melaw Khaliki Makah. What's going on in Davenport, Iowa?
Any updates in Davenport. Yes, you're playing the role of
Iowa Sam. Let's get a get a report Davenport.
Speaker 2 (01:42):
I was thinking Shreveport for a second, Like I was like,
why are you putting me in the worst place on earth.
Speaker 1 (01:47):
I've never been to Shreveport, Louisi. You don't want to.
Speaker 4 (01:49):
I didn't even know that was a real place.
Speaker 3 (01:51):
Well, nobody will be there from this show now.
Speaker 2 (01:53):
Ye.
Speaker 1 (01:54):
The way that the school system has failed, the geography
not a monst of her entire generation is just amazing.
No idea. Well you don't have the Animaniacs States song?
Speaker 4 (02:11):
Yeah, I mean yeah, but I mean I know States,
but I don't know.
Speaker 1 (02:13):
I'm just saying, I'm just saying, does she not have
We're knowing the state capitol is a big deal to you,
the state capitals. I didn't ask that question because now,
like you lose some of it, it looks like a
badge of honor. Isaac Longkrod. Yeah no, not the song,
just knowing, Oh yes, the state capitals.
Speaker 4 (02:32):
Yeah no, I'd never I.
Speaker 1 (02:34):
Think your generation, for whatever reason, and I know school
is a lot different now, but your generation was not.
Geography was not pressed upon you like it was upon us.
Speaker 5 (02:46):
Absolutely not, especially for those sort of under the radar
states like you did puff up with pride when you
could say the state capitol of Vermud is mod Pilliod.
Speaker 1 (02:55):
Yes, absolutely, it's a big deal.
Speaker 4 (02:59):
Yeah no.
Speaker 2 (03:00):
And that was also when you had to do paper
maps and you kind of had to figure out it's like, okay,
oh ye, I.
Speaker 6 (03:04):
Don't know where anything's at, like I know the fifty states.
But if I'm like and.
Speaker 1 (03:07):
This is this is not a Mansi problem, you know,
this is her generation problem, because it's not that Manzi
wasn't paying attention in school. It's that her curriculum at
whatever school she went to, chose to not address those things. Now,
Isaac is born and raised in southern California, and he
knows this, like this is a part of his. I'm
(03:28):
born and raised in Wisconsin. It was a big part
of what we did with our class. And I don't
think it was important to you bo. You guys are
about the same age was important to your grades or
when you were in geography when you were in elementary school.
Speaker 3 (03:42):
It was mostly just California, Like we learned Sacramento, but
we did not learn the entire country.
Speaker 2 (03:48):
Yeah, wow, prefere so not as much geography, but like
we had these Ohio. So I grew up in Toledo,
so there were a lot of these, like civic history
classes for Ohio. And I know way too much about
the French Indian Wars in the War of eighteen twelve
because those are like all the landmarks around northwest Ohio.
Speaker 1 (04:08):
Knowing the state capitals, knowing the Great Lakes is something
we've talked about with you, like something like the Upper
Peninsula of Michigan. It's an ongoing joke that we revealed
that there's a whole other piece of Michigan that Manzi
didn't know exist. But that's not Moncey's fault. That's the
school system's fault for not pressing it on you. You guys
probably were learning computers while we were typing on typewriters
(04:29):
or using floppy disks with our computer flop big floppy
disks that were actually floppy. And I'm playing, where in
the world is Carmen San Diego Trail? Do you know
the state capital of Missouri?
Speaker 3 (04:41):
No?
Speaker 1 (04:42):
No, I didn't think you did. I golong cross does
just off fan Jefferson City. That is correct. Wow, I
was going to say MISSOULI face that is that is correct.
But we talk about Kansas City, Missouri. We'll only do
it for five more years, and then we're going to
talk about the chiefs being in Kansas. But the Kansas
the City chiefs are in the headlines. We're not going
(05:03):
to talk about their stadium. That's not going to happen.
We are going to talk about what could happen tomorrow.
And we just went through an exercise in breaking down
Christmas Day NFL versus Christmas Day NBA and how the
NFL got into the mess that they did with this
Christmas Day schedule. I feel bad for the family in
(05:24):
Kansas City. And I said this on the I Want
Your Flex podcast, by the way, which with Mike Carmen
and our executive producer Ian Roddy, which it could get
wherever you get your podcasts. But I made this point
that I felt bad for the family that had planned
to take a family member, maybe it's an uncle, maybe
it's a sibling, a mom or dad or kids to
(05:46):
Chiefs Broncos on Christmas night and the morning of they
were going to wake up and unveil the tickens and
say we're going tonight, like that's going.
Speaker 4 (05:58):
That was the plan for many people.
Speaker 1 (06:00):
Yes, yeah, and now they have to see Chris Oladucan.
That guy end up having to be the starting quarterback
without Rashid Rice, who has now put on ir as well.
No Patrick Mahomes And what's going to be a nice
night in Kansas City. It's not going to be super
cold at all. Forty degrees was the temperature. It would
have been a great night to celebrate. It would have
(06:22):
been a great night to try to win the AFC
West if you were the Chiefs. But all that's gone
out the window. So not the only reason that you
would show up on Thursday night is to say goodbye
to Travis Kelson, which we don't know if it's going
to be goodbye, but we think it's going to be goodbye.
This would be Travis Kelcey's final home game at Arrowhead
Stadium if he chooses to retire after the season. So
(06:45):
I ask you Manzi Blanios, and I asked the crew
as well, actually do we have Andy Reid? First of all,
let's let the head coach get the honors and then
we'll weigh in on the tight end. This is what
Andy Reid had to say when asked if tomorrow is
the last game for Travis Kelcey at Arrowhead Stadium.
Speaker 7 (07:01):
I think his numbers and personality and the person I
think speak for themselves. Phenomenal person great for the community,
has been great for the community of Ton. Is everything
you want from a player represented an organ.
Speaker 1 (07:22):
I think that's a very fair statement without giving the
news or saying anything that would be newsworthy. Andy Reid
supporting his player and a player that we've seen them
you know.
Speaker 4 (07:35):
Bomb heads literally literally yeah.
Speaker 1 (07:39):
On the sidelines. But Andy Reid I think probably knows something,
but used that line of speech to honor Travis Kelcey
in the career that he's had a career that may
only have two more games in the NFL. So do
you think these are his final two games in the NFL, Manzi,
and that tomorrow is his last game at Arrowhead.
Speaker 6 (07:55):
I it seems that way. It seems that way it
would be he he.
Speaker 4 (08:00):
Would be lying to himself.
Speaker 6 (08:01):
If Travis kelce is looking at himself in the mirror
saying that he still has the same pep and step
that he did the last couple of years, you know
what I'm saying, Especially you're gonna enter next season without Patrick.
I know they're saying he might be ready by week one.
I know that, but you don't know the future of
the quarterback room. It seems to me like it is
(08:22):
the end for Travis Kelcey.
Speaker 4 (08:25):
And it's just crazy to think that this is how
it's gonna end.
Speaker 6 (08:27):
And I was gonna look this up, but I'm sure
you know Travis Kelcey is only played for the Chiefs.
Speaker 4 (08:31):
Yes, Okay, So like it's it's kind of a big deal.
Speaker 6 (08:35):
Yet I don't think it is because of who Travis
kelce has become.
Speaker 1 (08:41):
Mm hmm.
Speaker 6 (08:42):
Because he's no longer just the NFL player. He's no
longer this tight end, great tight end.
Speaker 1 (08:48):
Yeah, one of the top probably top five of all time.
Speaker 4 (08:51):
Yeah, yes, probably right.
Speaker 1 (08:53):
Yeah, he's going in. There will be some people over
the next couple of weeks or months when I there
talking about Travis Kelce that will bring up someone like, like,
I think Tony Gonzalez is the standard bear. I think
that if Gronk wasn't robbed with his injuries, that Gronk
was probably the best tight end that we've ever seen. Size, speed,
(09:14):
blocking ability, the whole deal. But yeah, but with Kelsey
and the weapon that he is, like, there's just there's
no denying on his greatness for the numbers that he
put up, even if other guys maybe had more roles
as a blocker, but he is top five. I find
the conversation for someone who is so high at their
(09:35):
position and so popular now interesting on how that player
could be remembered. Because this is also the reason why
I thought Travis Kelce kept playing. Travis Kelce had a great,
great life and was doing dating TV shows, and then
the Chiefs go on a run and they start winning
Super Bowls, and now he's doing podcasts with his brother
(09:59):
and the Kelsey fami as popular, and then Taylor Swift
comes into his life and now and.
Speaker 4 (10:05):
Now it's different.
Speaker 1 (10:06):
Yeah, Travis Kelce, for as great as the career was
of Jason, Travis Kelcey was the bigger star, like of
the two. Like Jason kelce obviously had his following in
Philadelphia and is beloved in that city, but Travis was
the headliner right like it was, and I think Jason
would even admit that. But now, all of a sudden,
you bring Taylor Swift in in her career which is
(10:28):
going to go on for decades and decades. I felt
that Travis Kelcey was in a spot that he didn't
know where he should go because while they were both
at the top of their fields, she was going to
be at the top of hers longer than he was
going to be at the top of his, And so
for him to play this year I think allowed him
(10:49):
also time to elongate that. I think it's a very
scary proposition probably for Travis kelce of what's life going
to be like. I think he's going to be absolutely fine,
and I think he'll find his niche. The question is
is does he become always be Travis kelce the Hall
of Fame tight end. Does he become Travis Kelcey TV
presenter celebrity on his own right, or does he become
(11:12):
Travis Kelcey, husband of pop star Taylor Swift.
Speaker 4 (11:15):
Yeah, that's what you said.
Speaker 6 (11:17):
I was like, you're right, no matter what, Taylor Swift
was always gonna overshadow him, right, like, no matter what,
which is probably why he wanted to continue playing to
prove what It's like. No, no, we're very separate. It's like, yeah,
she's a star, but I am a football player. Don't
forget that. And to be honest with you, Dan, as.
Speaker 4 (11:34):
A Swifty, I love Taylor Swift.
Speaker 6 (11:37):
I think that he will be remembered first, will be
Travis Kelsey, Taylor Swift's boyfriend. Also hall of Fame tight end,
Like that's gonna be plus, that's gonna.
Speaker 4 (11:49):
Be the afterthought. He will be tied.
Speaker 6 (11:52):
In to Taylor Swift more than he will be tied
tied into being the Hall of Fame tight end that
he is.
Speaker 1 (11:59):
I never thought that I would look at Michael Strahan
other than Hall of Fame defensive end. You brought up
Miles Garrett earlier. Yeah, Michael Strahan single season sack leader.
I never thought that I would look at him differently.
And I remember all of Michael Strahan's career the entirely
the entirety of it, and now he's become such a
(12:22):
celebrity and such a face. Football is still a big
part of it, but I think that he has transitioned
with being the Good Morning America host, game show host,
and all these other entities that his life after football
has actually helped him surpass the fame that he had
in football to now where he's at his own right.
(12:43):
And I'm wondering if that's going to happen with Travis Kelson.
Speaker 4 (12:45):
It's already happening, That's what's crazy. It's already happening for
Travis kelcey.
Speaker 1 (12:50):
But that's because he's of who he's married.
Speaker 4 (12:53):
To correct or who he's going to be married to.
Speaker 1 (12:56):
So that's so Michael Strahan went on to do things
that made him more popular because he was the football player, right,
Travis kelce will probably have opportunities outside of football to
do things to go on a path of Michael Strahan.
But I think that's different than just being the husband
(13:16):
and fiance of Taylor Swift.
Speaker 6 (13:17):
I just think that's always going to be the first
thing people are going to say about him.
Speaker 1 (13:22):
What do you guys think, Bo Benson, Chris Purfett, Isaac
lowncron Nuts McGee seven who followed me today on X
True Story.
Speaker 6 (13:32):
But not me.
Speaker 4 (13:34):
Not me.
Speaker 1 (13:34):
Maybe Nuts McGee five will follow you, but I haven't
been so lucky. Will you always look at Travis kelce
as the Hall of Fame tight end or do you
think there's going to be a point where he's just
Taylor Swift's significant other, husband, partner, whatever. Or do you
think there's going to be more of the Michael Strahan
TV star for Travis kelce I.
Speaker 5 (13:52):
Think I look at it as one in one a
because we are coming from the background of being sports fans.
I think that it might be different for an average
citizen out there, But I think Michael Strahan is a
great analogy because Travis kelcey has so many prospects for
being at the forefront of sports culture and pop culture
(14:13):
in the future.
Speaker 7 (14:15):
Uh.
Speaker 5 (14:15):
The one thing I'd like to raise is how did
Patrick mahomes ACL tear affect if at all the calculus
of this decision. If Mahomes does not injure his ACL,
would they try and run it back next year with
Kelsey and Mahomes.
Speaker 6 (14:32):
I think that definitely is a factor to his decision.
What's going on with Patrick Mahomes, but adding how Travis
Kelce was already in the spotlight aside from on the field,
he had the dating show.
Speaker 4 (14:46):
He liked the attention.
Speaker 6 (14:48):
Right like, he was already doing all of that, but
it did not catapult him the way dating Taylor Swift has.
So that's why I think it's that's going to be
always the tie in with him because he was a
reality star already but people forgot about it.
Speaker 1 (15:02):
I agree, but I think there will be more doors
open to him to be on network television, to be
I don't know, in movies or TV show.
Speaker 6 (15:12):
Was already on an American Horror Story, one of those spinoffs.
He was in already on one of those, and then
he did Happy Gilmour too.
Speaker 4 (15:19):
He's already doing the stuff.
Speaker 1 (15:21):
I guess I'm sorry, No, that's okay, go ahead, Chris.
Speaker 2 (15:24):
I guess I'm struggling because at least by my like
and again I know I'm not this is I think
that the issue with Travis is like it feels like
we're talking about multiple different audiences that there is no
monoculture here to really talk about, because I think how
he's gonna be viewed by someone who's close to like NFL,
like me, is going to be different from someone who's
(15:45):
not coming in from NFL and makes it tough, like
he could be a straight hand figure. I don't think
he's there, And I guess I just all these things
we talk about with him, I guess I associate more
with his brother right now. I think of Jason Kelsey
as the guy who's big in all these commercial and advertisements,
and he's all over the place, I guess, And I'm
struggling with that that like I because I'm not finding
(16:07):
these places where Travis is apparently well.
Speaker 1 (16:09):
As great as Jason Kelsey is. And I don't know
of anybody who doesn't like Jason kelce Like Jason Kelcey
is freaking awesome. Again, I think that he would even
tell you that he's there because of Travis, Like he
was a cult hero in Philadelphia, but he's not the
national face that he is without the platform of his
brother and his brother's success.
Speaker 4 (16:28):
Who is brother has always liked the attention.
Speaker 1 (16:31):
Yes, yeah, it probably brought some of Jason into that.
I look at the potential of Travis Kelcey and Taylor Swift.
It's not apples to apples, but it's the only comparison
that I could think of where Tom Brady and Justsel
Bunchin were still their own people now. They didn't transition
like Giselle Bunchin wasn't then known as Tom Brady's wife
(16:53):
and Tom Brady wasn't known as Gisel Bunchin's husband. They
were in their own entities. It's just when you're not
the greatest quarterback of all time and you're a tight
end in the NFL, how do you take that leap?
And I think that he could take the leap if
he takes the leap like Michael Strahan did in having
those opportunities where I look at Strayhan now more as
(17:14):
a TV figure than I do have his NFL career,
which is again crazy to think of the Hall of
Fame defensive end in that way. But I think that's
what Kelsey has the opportunity to do. And I just
don't know if it's if it's going to happen or not.
I would if I had to put my money on that,
I would say he would. He would be able to
(17:34):
continue this and make his own name as opposed to
just always then be known as Taylor Swift's husband.
Speaker 4 (17:41):
I really don't see that.
Speaker 6 (17:42):
And I feel like I like the example you just
use of Jasell and Tom Brady because they were both
stars in their own field.
Speaker 4 (17:50):
She was a model.
Speaker 6 (17:52):
Everybody knew who's Victoria's secret model, but she was not what.
Taylor Swift is so big than everything and everyone that
That's why I don't think he can do anything that's
going to separate.
Speaker 4 (18:06):
Himself from that.
Speaker 1 (18:07):
Yeah, that may be the case.
Speaker 4 (18:09):
He could do everything, and I agree.
Speaker 6 (18:11):
I think he's going to go and try and maybe
have a Michael Strahan type of post career and do
all of that. Maybe he wants to do more acting,
he's already doing it, but Taylors just so big that
I don't know if he could do something that would
separate himself from that.
Speaker 1 (18:26):
Here's where I feel sorry for Travis Kelce and I
don't feel sorry sorry for him, but I felt like
he was in a tough spot. He had an awful
Super Bowl.
Speaker 4 (18:34):
Mm hmmm right now he was trying to change that.
Speaker 1 (18:36):
Pointed out that you weren't trying. And I actually think
that there are probably other chiefs that were just as exhausted.
But Kelsey had his effort show up on film on
the field, and it was a heck of an indictment,
But I thought it was a culmination of three years
of going through all of that and then when they
found out they weren't going to reep, it's just all right, well,
what's the point. I think he wanted to write that wrong.
(18:57):
I agree he wanted to change that narrative, but I
also thought that you only have so many years in
the NFL. Again, he is he and Taylor Swift. I
know Taylor Swift's a bigger star, but just at least
humor me here and saying like they both are high
on their own platforms with their own thing, and he
had would have a difficult time giving that up that
(19:17):
if he would have step away, then it's just Taylor
Swift now in her career and he's trying to find himself.
So I think he elongated that as well. It's good
for his podcast, honestly, to keep playing and be in
the game and to have those conversations. So maybe it
was outside stuff that ended up bringing him back this year.
The Chiefs have never developed a plan in replacing Travis Kelcey.
(19:39):
That's their That's one of their biggest faults this year.
Not too much different in terms of stat wise, but
they've targeted him significantly less. Yeah, he's probably playing less.
I don't have a snap count here compared to what
it was previously, but you would have to imagine that
there were less snaps. And we've seen that those numbers
go on throughout Travis Kelcey's career. So it's not like
(20:03):
there was ever going to be a rebirth or a revitalization.
He just was hanging on and hanging on for another year.
And I don't know if all the right reasons were
in place to play this year, but because this year
turned out the way that it did, now with the
Mahomes thing that you brought up and Isaac talked about there,
it seems like this is the fitting end. And by
(20:23):
the way, if Travis Kelcey can have his own night
at Arrowhead to sign off because Patrick Mahomes isn't going
to be there, good point, like that may be the
fitting way to do it. Play your last game, don't
play in Week eighteen, like your last game be against
the Denver Broncos on Christmas Night. Hopefully you can catch
a touchdown pass and call it quits.
Speaker 6 (20:43):
Yeah, that seems like it's the right way to go out.
It didn't work out for you, because I agree. I
think he was trying to right the wrongs of our
last images of him playing in the Super Bowl, right like,
he didn't want us to remember it like that, and
so I think he was doing that.
Speaker 4 (20:58):
But go out at home, go out week seventeen at home.
Speaker 1 (21:04):
Don't yep, don't.
Speaker 4 (21:05):
Don't stretch this out more than you have already.
Speaker 1 (21:07):
There's nothing else to play for.
Speaker 3 (21:08):
He's taking eighty percent of the team snaps here.
Speaker 1 (21:11):
Okay, So that's yeah, that's that's what was the last
part boe hundred and nine total. Okay, that's actually more
than I thought, because there's a point where it actually
was less. So he's been on the field more. It
just doesn't have as many targets.
Speaker 4 (21:23):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (21:24):
But then also maybe because they've never found a plan
to adequately replace Travis Kelzy of their offense and drafting
another tight end to replace him, so they probably needed
him just as much as a little bit.
Speaker 4 (21:35):
About that, absolutely, I think so as well.
Speaker 1 (21:37):
Nature Boy tweets in Travis's to Taylor as Sonny was
to share mmmmm, it predates me a little bit, but
I can see it share share seems like the Rocks.
Speaker 4 (21:48):
Yeah right, Star. She's still out there.
Speaker 1 (21:50):
Yes, yes she is.
Speaker 4 (21:52):

a jinx if I do that. I think I right now,
Oregon Georgia seems like a nice National championship game, but
there's something about that Texas Tech game, and nobody wants
to talk about Texas Tech or how good their defense is.
(25:27):
And it's an early start in an Orange Bowl on
New Year's Day, Oregon's traveling across the country. That could
be a bit of a bit of a hiccup. So
I'm not quite there on my bracket. But yeah, I'm
I would have Oregon Georgia in the title game, but
I'm a little scared for the Ducks in that in
that interesting Yeah, we shall see though, lots to play for,

Radio dot iHeart dot com and fill one out. There
are odds out for the next head coach of the
Tennessee Titans. And this kind of connects to the conversation
(26:16):
that we had about Travis Kelce how the Kansas City
Chiefs could play into that Titan situation next. But first,
Isaac Lohencrott here to give us the latest of what's
happening on this Christmas Eve. What's going on? Isaac can
It is.
Speaker 5 (26:30):
A busy Christmas Eve, Dan and Monty, especially in the
National Football League. How's this for a recovery? Pittsburgh Steelers
linebacker TJ. Watt returned to the practice field today after
missing two games because of a partially collapsed a lung.
He was officially listed as a limited participant. Ravens quarterback
Lamar Jackson did not practice today for the second straight
day because of a back contusion. The Minnesota Vikings rolled
(26:52):
out running back Jordan Mason and tied in TJ. Hockinson
for tomorrow's game against the Lions. Detroit meanwhile, listed receiver
amanas Saint Brown as questionable because of a knee injury
at bunning back David Montgomery as questionable due to illness.
The Kansas City Chiefs place receivers Rashie Rice and Taekwon Thornton,
as well as cornerbacks Trent McDuffie and Jalen Watson on
(27:12):
injured reserve. They also listed defensive end George Carloptis and
linebacker Nick Bolton as questionable for Tomorrow's game against the Broncos.
The Broncos a short time ago just ruled out linebacker
dra Greenlaw because of a hamstring injury. Sesame Street helped
raise all of us. Now it's our turn donate this
holiday season at sesame dot org because the world needs
(27:34):
Sesame and Sesame needs you. Finally, Dan and Monse, we
have an NFL dental update. The Philadelphia Eagles announced that
star receiver Aj Brown missed practice today due to a
teeth injury. It turns out that Brown is having a
set of wisdom teeth removed today.
Speaker 3 (27:55):
Now.
Speaker 5 (27:55):
Back in August of twenty twenty three, Brown had another
set of wisdom teeth removed, and at the time immediately
after the procedure, he did a memorable IG Live in
which he sounded more like Mike Tyson.
Speaker 1 (28:11):
Listen, Hi, guys, I think I gotta go. I'm okay though,
I just got my wisdom removal.
Speaker 4 (28:17):
I'm okay, all right, yeah, okay, yeah, let me okay, okay, okay, yeah,
me too, okay by.
Speaker 5 (28:25):
No word yet on whether mister Brown will be doing
another IG Live after today's procedure.
Speaker 1 (28:30):
Back to you, you had recently, like within the last
couple of years.
Speaker 4 (28:34):
Yeah, like two years ago. I think I did it.
Speaker 1 (28:36):
You have all four?
Speaker 6 (28:37):
No, so one of them was not taken out because
the orthodontis was like, it's very close to your nerve
and it's like, I don't want to touch it.
Speaker 4 (28:46):
If it's never bothered you, and it's never bothered me,
but it's still in there, and if it does start
to bother me or push, then.
Speaker 6 (28:52):
I have to go put you at three three taken
out and they had to go like cut me open.
Speaker 4 (28:57):
It wasn't just a yeah, we get it so asleep.
Speaker 6 (29:00):
I was like, oh okay, yeah, I was not awake
for that.
Speaker 4 (29:03):
I was like no, no, no, no, no, we're not doing this.
Speaker 1 (29:05):
It's awful. Bob Benson, Wait, did you raise your hand.
You went in on wisdom teeth talk.
Speaker 3 (29:10):
Yeah, no, I was just the same exact way they
had to put me out, cut me open, take my
teeth out.
Speaker 4 (29:15):
It sucked, it did it did.
Speaker 3 (29:17):
It wasn't as loopy afterwards, which I was really disappointed about.
Speaker 6 (29:20):
I don't even remember like leaving, I don't remember any
of that, yes, but I know I signed papers.
Speaker 4 (29:27):
I was like, oh here, yes, sign away.
Speaker 1 (29:29):
I've never met anybody that's like, wasn't that bad. You're
like some people like overstate things or understate things.
Speaker 4 (29:36):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (29:37):
Yeah, it was an issue for me. I still have
one left as well. That doesn't bother me. But I
had a you know variety. I didn't do it all
three at one time like you did.
Speaker 6 (29:46):
I just want bigger, go home, just do it, you
know what I'm saying. I didn't want to deal with
it again. And it really wasn't as bad. It was bad,
but it just wasn't as bad.
Speaker 1 (29:55):
Will Matt nagy uh go big or stay home? That's
the question. So the Kansas City Chiefs offensive coordinator, once
left for an NFL job with the Chicago Bears, came
back to Kansas City. Now Naggy's name is thrown into
the mix with the Tennessee Titans. Mike McCarthy's name's been
thrown out in Tennessee, but Matt Naggy because of Cam Woard,
(30:16):
the young quarterback. There's reasons why Naggy is one of
the top candidates. Here's my question to you, Monci, would
you take the Titans job or would you wait to
see when Andy Reid is going to retire? If you're
Matt Naggy, that maybe you would then be the one
to take over the Chiefs squad.
Speaker 6 (30:38):
If I'm Matt Naggy, I would wait it out. I
don't think Andy Reid has many years left. I think
I think maybe he has won more correct, I apologize
not yes, I don't think he has many years left
coaching being a head coach for the Kansas City Chiefs.
Speaker 4 (30:54):
So I would wait it out.
Speaker 6 (30:55):
And I do think that Andy Reid may want a
bet better send off, like we were just talking about
Travis Kelce right, Like, no, it should be your last game.
You really should just ended at Arrowhead and the fans,
in front of the fans and call it a career.
It's a great one. I feel like Andy Reid may
want to actually finish his career with Patrick Mahomes on
(31:16):
the field next to him. Sure, you know so, I
think maybe one more year in him. And so if
I'm Matt Naggie, I'm going to wake this out.
Speaker 1 (31:25):
I'm curious on how much of the toll this season
took on Andy Reid because there was a pace where,
if the Chiefs would have continued to roll and if
they would have won the Super Bowl last year, some
of Bill Belichick's marks and other marks were really in
reach for Andy Reid to surpass as a head coach.
And Lashawn McCoy it said years ago when we all
just assumed Bill Belichick was the greatest of all time,
(31:46):
Shada McCoy's like, it's Andy Reid. And then all of
a sudden, Reid started racking up Super Bowls, so he
was on the trajectory. I'm just curious after losing to
the Eagles and then having the season like this kind
of sets him back on that pace also probably took
a lot out of them. My issue, if I'm Matt
nagy is saying, do I leave Patrick Mahomes and wait
(32:09):
around for this for the next two or three years,
but no guarantee that he would be the head coach
for the job in Tennessee, and I think on the surface,
Titans will have cap space, They'll have a high pick,
They've got a young quarterback. That all is, That's all
seems fair. My two things against the Titans are this,
they have so much turnover and have had so much
(32:30):
turnover recently where it's coach GM coach GM and making changes.
So there seems to be a little bit of instability
with ownership. I know they've got a new stadium coming in,
and maybe with a new stadium there's even going to
be more of a rush to feel like you need
to succeed there. The other portion of it is, we
see what Mike Rabel has done in New England, and
I'm sure the Titans fans are like, yeah, maybe we
(32:53):
should have kept him around. But Mike Rabel was moved
out of Tennessee, So they're going to move away from
Mike Rabel, who is really well liked by players there.
What would they do to you?
Speaker 4 (33:06):
How long is your release?
Speaker 1 (33:07):
Yes? Correct? So with a lot of the Matt Naggie
talk being out there, if I were him, I would
wait a couple of years. And by the way, if
the Chiefs return with Patrick Mahomes being healthy and continue
to have a great offense, maybe more of a running game.
Matt Naggy's going to get another opportunity. I just don't
(33:30):
know if I would pick the Titans as the opportunity
to leave Patrick Mahomes.
Speaker 6 (33:34):
I feel like the only reason you would take that
job is because you see so much potential in cam Ward.
Right if he sees cam morning, he's like, that is
who I want my quarterback to be. Then maybe, but
I agree with you, like, why there's nothing selling me
to jump ship over here?
Speaker 4 (33:50):
It really isn't.
Speaker 6 (33:51):
I would just be patient and like you said, like
you still have Patrick Mahomes, Like nobody is expecting that
we've seen the lasts of Mahomes.
Speaker 4 (33:57):
We're all waiting to see what comes next. There's no reason,
there's no reason.
Speaker 6 (34:02):
I don't think there's anything on the other side that
is really a shiny object that I want to go
try out.
Speaker 1 (34:09):
I am curious on if he feels the need to
write is and to right the wrongs of Chicago. So
when you have Mitchell Trubisky, maybe he's like, Okay, I
can do that with cam Ward. I want another shot
at it. Because maybe these were the mistakes that I
made and for and the Bears are having your great season.
Naggy's tenure wasn't awful like there was. I mean there
(34:30):
the double doink happened in the playoffs, which tells you
that they made the playoffs, and it also tells you
that they were field goal away close. Ye right, you know,
so like that portion of it dismissed. He never should
have focused and and and made kickers kick from that
same spot when you're having tryouts. That would be a
fault of Matt Nagy to try to turn around and change.
But the ability to go into a spot where there
(34:50):
is already a quarterback in place, to your point, could
be something that is intriguing, especially if he's like I
didn't handle this right with Trubisky. I wish I would
have done that. That may be reason for him to
leave to go to Nashville, But ultimately I would just
wait and see how things play out in Kansas City.
Speaker 6 (35:04):
Right exactly, It just seems like you're in a good
spot again. Andy Reid does not have many years left
as a head coach. You could tell, you could see it.
He's probably ready to wrap it up soon.
Speaker 1 (35:14):
Sure, Yeah, you're not gonna be waiting eight years.
Speaker 4 (35:16):
You know you're not waiting five years.
Speaker 1 (35:18):
And I think Matt Nagy actually is the ability to
be picky because of the situation in Kansas City. She's
Monty Blago, so I'm Dan Byer. The road to Milan

and with the college football Playoff resuming in a week.
(36:47):
NFL Action Week seventeen starts tomorrow with a triple header
of games on Christmas Day, then two games on Saturday.
I'll be going to the Chargers Texans game, I think
I told you, and it'll be the first time I've
ever been at an NFL game at so far. So
it's been around my cousin's coming into town from Wisconsin.
(37:08):
He's excited. He wanted to go see a Chargers game.
So thank you NFL for putting that on a Saturday
and not on a Sunday where you and I'll team
up with Kerry Rhodes here on the End Zone Radio
on Fox Sports Radio, but checking out Texans Chargers. It's
also good because there's no other games going on at
the same time, so you're not missing those games.
Speaker 4 (37:27):
It also seems like a good matchup.
Speaker 6 (37:28):
We're discussing how there aren't great matchups tomorrow on Christmas Day,
but you're going to a good matchup, so that'll be fun.
Speaker 1 (37:37):
The NFL has their flex scheduling where they have five
games that they kind of put on hold in week
seventeen and then they wait to see how the season
played out. The Seahawks Panthers was a game that was
actually could have been a Saturday game, but they decided
let's go Texans Chargers, Ravens Packers. The Cardinals Bengals was
a game that could have been on a Saturday, so
(37:58):
could the Giants and Raiders. Those without playoff implications, they
just threw them on Sunday.
Speaker 4 (38:04):
Absolutely.
Speaker 6 (38:05):
I mean, I think the Seahawks and the Panthers can
be a fun one, but the two that they flexed
are good, are good, But the Seahawks and the Panthers
can be fun.
Speaker 1 (38:12):
That's the tricky part with the Panthers is because they
and the Buccaneers hadn't played until last week for the
first time, and then they play again next week, and
the Panthers getting that win huge for them. But now
you have the Seahawks coming to town with a little
extra rest after that win against the Rams, and the
Seaks have been for there's the narrative of the teams
going west and playing at one o'clock eastern. They're going east.
(38:34):
Excuse me from the West going east and playing a
one o'clock Eastern time kickoff. Seahawks have been really good
in that spot as of late. They actually won in
Jacksonville earlier on the season. We'll see if it bodes
well for them Sunday against Carolina, as the Panthers have
a lot to play for. I'm sure Panthers fans would
like to wish upon a win for their fans. We're
gonna do a little Secret Sanna here on Fox Sports Radio.
(38:56):
We have each put a name in a hat and
we mixed it up. You could not pick your own
could not pick your own name, but you are to
give a gift for your secret Santa name. Does everybody
have one, Isaac, do you have yours? Do you have
your secret Santa name? He does, BoA's set, Chris is set.
Everybody's got something different than what they wrote down. Moncey
(39:20):
the ladies first, polite here, who's your secret Sanna?
Speaker 6 (39:24):
My twenty twenty five secret Sanna for twenty twenty five
is the one and only Jerry Jones.
Speaker 1 (39:31):
Jerry Jones give the Cowboys owner in general name.
Speaker 4 (39:35):
I thought of a couple of things, Remember those Cowboys.
Speaker 6 (39:39):
I thought about gifting him, Hey, George Pickens extension ave
on Mexico.
Speaker 4 (39:45):
I thought about I thought about that.
Speaker 6 (39:46):
But I'm going to give him a time machine so
that he can go back to the nineties and live
the good old days that he's still trying to live
now because they're not here, babe. So I'm going to
give him a time machine so he can go back
and live those three Super Bowls that he's holding on
to thirty years later.
Speaker 4 (40:04):
He has my still own line. Yes, yes you are.
Speaker 1 (40:10):
Just keep it, just keep it, just keep it going.
I'm here for all. He could have got him a monkey,
I got yeah, got him a time machine.
Speaker 4 (40:20):
Time machine.
Speaker 1 (40:21):
I think that's under the thirty dollars limit. That we
have here?
Speaker 6 (40:23):
Is that what we do?
Speaker 1 (40:24):
Well?
Speaker 4 (40:24):
You know he doesn't count just a little bit.
Speaker 1 (40:28):
I wrote. I was the one that wrote, Jerry j.
Speaker 4 (40:30):
Johns, that's a good one. That's a good one.
Speaker 1 (40:32):
I was curious on where you were going to go,
if you were going to go a player, if you're
going to make a Parsons coming on the way back.
Speaker 8 (40:38):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (40:38):
No, the time machine. He loves the time machine as
well because he loves to look back a safe Yeah.
Speaker 5 (40:43):
The war.
Speaker 4 (40:46):
Send him back to live his heyday.
Speaker 1 (40:48):
At the Glory Days. Yeah, the glory whole days as
he calls them, as well as an oil glory hill.
Yes he does. Yes, he does. Striking it rich.
Speaker 4 (40:59):
Because it's been long. It's been a long time.
Speaker 1 (41:00):
Yes. Cowboys not making it to the postseason this year unfortunately,
So hopefully that gift of yours will brighten up Jerry.
Speaker 4 (41:07):
Jones exactly, Bill Benson, do you want to go?
Speaker 3 (41:11):
Sure? I pulled Lane Kiffin now you head coach ls
Oh wow, I got two gifts for Lane Kiffin. First
one is a classic book series we all remember, job
hunting and career change all in one for dummies.
Speaker 1 (41:26):
He will need that again, So he will need that again.
Speaker 3 (41:29):
We all know he will. You know, just he could
have handled it a little bit better, Lane, But it's
the season of forgiveness and the perpetual hope, so everything
will be find Thats why I'm also going to get
him the River Road Recipes the Textbook of Louisiana Cuisine,
because he all that food out in Louisiana at least
for the next couple of years. Oool boys.
Speaker 1 (41:51):
Lane Kiffin also posted a shot of Tiger Stadium. This
may have been last night. Maybe it was on Instagram.
I can't find it, but it was just very blurry
and out of focus, and there was a telephone wire
in that went over Tiger Stadium where the wording was.
And I just thought to myself, let's take another picture,
(42:12):
like it's okay.
Speaker 2 (42:13):
I just I just realized he gets a hang out
with a live tiger now, Mike the Tiger. Yes, they
have a live tiger on campus. I am what's going
to happen here.
Speaker 1 (42:24):
I don't know which version of Mike the Tiger I saw,
but I did see it's right next to the football stadium.
That's a that's a good, good recommendation for Lane Kiffin.
Isaac Locron, who did you draw.
Speaker 5 (42:38):
Okay, I've got the paper right here. It says on
the paper MONSI please don't tell Dan the nuts McGee's
actually my burner accounts and Serle Isaac up, sorry.
Speaker 1 (42:52):
This is nuts McGee seven.
Speaker 5 (42:54):
Yes, okay, Tylo Tyler.
Speaker 1 (42:59):
By the who wrote Lane Kiffin raised their hand. Who
was Isac? All right? I wonder who wrote Tyler?
Speaker 4 (43:06):
I wrote Tyler. Oh, surprise, he can use some gifts,
all right.
Speaker 5 (43:11):
With that in mind, I'm also going to the book,
the bookshelf. This is a very practical gift. It was
a book that was published in two thousand by those
distinguished PhDs Alan A. Kava Iola and Neil J. Lavender, PhD.
(43:31):
The title Toxic co Workers How to deal with Dysfunctional
People on the job working with Narcissists, borderlines, sociopaths and
others unquote. And I got a thirty seven percent off to.
Speaker 1 (43:46):
Now I'll tell you what I think that Chriss came
early for TYLERU because Chris Paul was let go by
the Clippers, and everybody just assumed it was Chris Paul's fault. Yeah,
so no one was ever placing blame on Tylu. And
then we saw the practice clip come out. Oh the
words I don't know if it was. It's not words exchange,
(44:08):
but the words said by TYLERU and Chris Paul was
trying to say, like nobody thought, and maybe that's wrong
of us, but nobody thought, man, tylu must be the problem.
Speaker 4 (44:18):
I mean, I just put it on Chris Paul's I
did not put it on Chris Paul.
Speaker 1 (44:22):
You did not.
Speaker 4 (44:22):
You're one of the few I did not put it
on Chris Paul.
Speaker 6 (44:24):
But you're right that most people that was, oh, it's
CP three, when in reality it's like, I don't know
that was.
Speaker 1 (44:33):
The gift that keeps send giving Chris Purfett. Who did
you have for all? Right, let's see here. This is
Jonas's w NBA parlay. I'm not sure what this is
doing here? Stupid which one?
Speaker 3 (44:46):
Which one?
Speaker 2 (44:47):
Uh, well, it clearly didn't cash. So actually there's like
a whole stack of these in here to clean these out? Sometimes, Okay,
here we go justin Jefferson oddly specific? But okay, which
which one's oddly specific? Justin Jefferson or actually both? Well,
this is specific. We could be getting him books here,
(45:07):
but I feel like time machine feels I should do
something extravagant and we should move him, maybe gift him,
I don't know, a new team. It feels like this
is kind of this. This year in particular has felt
like the justin the crashdown to Earth, that there was
a lot of quarterbacks that could make Justin Jefferson work,
and I think we finally hit that limit in that
(45:29):
JJ McCarthy is not that. And I would know because
I've been front and center with him on my fantasy
team and I am officially now the last place in
our fantasy league, which, as I have told Monsey and
Dan several times, we hand out incredibly cruel punishments in
our league.
Speaker 1 (45:45):
So it's gonna have to do. We have to endure
the punishment now, yeah right, yeah yeah.
Speaker 2 (45:49):
And it's not something that should be, not a punishment
that is suitable for on air either, I must say.
But I do feel like the time is shorter for
Justin Jeffers in there than it is longer at this point.
Speaker 1 (46:04):
Why didn't you just give him nine? Give him give
him some good nines, just nine. You know what nine is?
Nine is JJ McCarthy's alter ego. I know, I think
nine for a life to have JJ McCarthy. You've got
nine all the time. It's always nine because nine is
(46:27):
nine is just a different beast. That thing is the
lamest thing in the national football It's even it's lamer
than the face paint.
Speaker 4 (46:35):
Yeah, yeah, nine nice.
Speaker 2 (46:37):
A lot of EyeBlack. He uses way too much EyeBlack
for quarterback ever should helpen.
Speaker 1 (46:41):
I don't get it. I don't get it, Jackson Dart.
Speaker 3 (46:43):
I never thought there would be someone that's more annoying
than Dak Prescott, but JJ McCarthy somehow is and and
so quickly.
Speaker 2 (46:51):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (46:51):
Yeah, this has been virtually a rookie year for him.
So this is just I will say this as well.
I think that Justin Jefferson has handled that situation much
better than other star wide receivers would have handled that situation.
Speaker 4 (47:05):
Could not agree with you more.
Speaker 1 (47:07):
He has been a model athlete, and he had He
had two catches for four yards against the Seahawks. Yep,
and that was after he started the game with one
catch for negative four yards. They threw him just a
meaningless pass with Max bros Morin just to get him
the eight on the second reception. But you haven't heard
(47:29):
him complain. You haven't heard him pout. You haven't heard
him say I wish my old quarterback was here. None
of that, or old old quarterback, none of that, And
he could have other wide receivers would have taken the opportunity.
Justin Jefferson did not.
Speaker 4 (47:43):
I agree. I'm glad you brought that up, because it's true.
Speaker 6 (47:45):
We literally have aj Brown complaining when that team is winning,
and there's Justin Jefferson and it has been an ugly
season for the Minnesota Viking.
Speaker 8 (47:53):
Maybe this is from.
Speaker 1 (47:53):
Beginning to end.
Speaker 2 (47:54):
Maybe this is a result of too much Minnesota nice.
Maybe we've got to give him some lessons and how
to be really. Maybe maybe that's it. We buy him
a copy of the Prince.
Speaker 1 (48:03):
You didn't give him a sign that says home with
the state of Minnesota as the O in it, Like
that is it's everywhere you know, Oh, every state does it?
Even ones that don't fit like that don't make any sense,
like Idaho, like which was shaped like an L. But
you could put it as the yell and people like, oh,
your home is Idaho. That's where a home is? All right?
(48:25):
Who had Justin Jefferson? That was Bo Benson? All right,
I'm the last one and I and this is Max Crosby,
all right? Who had Max Crosby that would have been mine?
All right? By the way, very good handwriting, Chris Purfet.
I almost thought it was Manzi's. It was so good,
I think did you write, Oh, I love your handwriting.
(48:51):
Good job, very very good, Bo Benson. Max Crosby, Well,
Chris wanted to give Justin Jefferson a new team. I'm
just gonna give him a new head coach. I think
that it is one and done with Pete Carroll. I
think that Max Crosby is the perfect Raider, Like even
the tattoos look good in the outfit, so putting him
(49:11):
somewhere else just doesn't fit. And honestly, the Raiders, the
Raiders need that player. They need a Raider player that
is only Raiders that growing up, there were always Raider
players that you knew of and those have now come
fewer and far between. So I don't want Max Crosby
to go anywhere. I want him to see it through
(49:32):
and it may be a long climb, but I just
think that they need another change in Las Vegas, and
hopefully then that coaching change will get it right, because
the Pete Carroll era just is not working. I don't
think that Pete Carroll is in it for the long haul,
so I would say a new head coach for Max Crosby.
Speaker 4 (49:51):
I agree, and I hope he sees it the same
way like he is Raiders.
Speaker 6 (49:55):
Yes, and there's not many teams who have a player
like that, right, like a player who is the identity
of the team, and he is that.
Speaker 4 (50:02):
So I hope he agrees with you and that he doesn't.
Speaker 6 (50:04):
He doesn't seem like he wants out. He kind of
just knows that this is this is where I'm at,
this is home, so you can get him a home sign.
Speaker 4 (50:11):
I wrote this.
Speaker 2 (50:12):
I wrote this down because I heard I heard his
quote earlier today someone I think asked him about you know,
because the Raidiers are basically playing for the first overall
pick yeah against the Giants here this weekend, and he
just gave such a Raider answers like I don't give up,
yeah about all of that and just everything about that.
By the way, that's it's gonna go hard. Biggest misconception
(50:34):
in sports. If you hear anybody.
Speaker 1 (50:36):
At a at a party, at a get together, at
a game, or on any platform of sports discussion whether
it be a podcast show like this, whatever. When they
say you should take the two worst teams and play
for the first number one overall pick, it's such a
dumb idea because not one player on those teams cares
(51:01):
if that team gets the number one overall pick, right,
it doesn't. In fact, there are teams that don't want
their players their team to have the number one overall
pick or a top pick because it could mean them
losing their job because of the player that would be
drafted in It is the biggest misconception that current players
on teams care about where their team drafts. They're the
(51:22):
only people that don't. Fans, do gms, do scouts, do coaches? Do?
Everybody cares except players on that team. So to play
a game for a number one pick in the NBA
or in the NFL or whatever is just the dumbest
idea that there is.
Speaker 4 (51:38):
Yeah, it's hard to it's it's hard to kind of
pick your picture yourself being on a team. But you're right,
even if you're on the practice squad. It's like, I
don't want anybody coming in here.
Speaker 1 (51:48):
Who cares? I don't want Yeah, why do I care?
What do I care?
Speaker 6 (51:51):
It's and yeah, you're not even just the stars, the
ones that are like fringe players, the starters, they're the
ones who really don't want this.
Speaker 1 (51:57):
So it's like, yeah, sure, ask you know, Smith on
who you want if he wants his team to get
the number on No, then they end up taking a
quarterback and then guess what, Gino Smith's out of a
job just for that example. Yeah, there it is our
secret Santa to those in need job. Yes, very well done,

Dan, that was a good one, Thank you very much.
Speaker 1 (01:30):
Played the role of Iowa Sam. It's Chris Perfett. Hello,
I mean melaw Khaliki Makah. What's going on in Davenport, Iowa?
Any updates in Davenport. Yes, you're playing the role of
Iowa Sam. Let's get a get a report Davenport.
Speaker 2 (01:42):
I was thinking Shreveport for a second, Like I was like,
why are you putting me in the worst place on earth.
Speaker 1 (01:47):
I've never been to Shreveport, Louisi. You don't want to.
Speaker 4 (01:49):
I didn't even know that was a real place.
Speaker 3 (01:51):
Well, nobody will be there from this show now.
Speaker 2 (01:53):
Ye.
Speaker 1 (01:54):
The way that the school system has failed, the geography
not a monst of her entire generation is just amazing.
No idea. Well you don't have the Animaniacs States song?
Speaker 4 (02:11):
Yeah, I mean yeah, but I mean I know States,
but I don't know.
Speaker 1 (02:13):
I'm just saying, I'm just saying, does she not have
We're knowing the state capitol is a big deal to you,
the state capitals. I didn't ask that question because now,
like you lose some of it, it looks like a
badge of honor. Isaac Longkrod. Yeah no, not the song,
just knowing, Oh yes, the state capitals.
Speaker 4 (02:32):
Yeah no, I'd never I.
Speaker 1 (02:34):
Think your generation, for whatever reason, and I know school
is a lot different now, but your generation was not.
Geography was not pressed upon you like it was upon us.
Speaker 5 (02:46):
Absolutely not, especially for those sort of under the radar
states like you did puff up with pride when you
could say the state capitol of Vermud is mod Pilliod.
Speaker 1 (02:55):
Yes, absolutely, it's a big deal.
Speaker 4 (02:59):
Yeah no.
Speaker 2 (03:00):
And that was also when you had to do paper
maps and you kind of had to figure out it's like, okay,
oh ye, I.
Speaker 6 (03:04):
Don't know where anything's at, like I know the fifty states.
But if I'm like and.
Speaker 1 (03:07):
This is this is not a Mansi problem, you know,
this is her generation problem, because it's not that Manzi
wasn't paying attention in school. It's that her curriculum at
whatever school she went to, chose to not address those things. Now,
Isaac is born and raised in southern California, and he
knows this, like this is a part of his. I'm
(03:28):
born and raised in Wisconsin. It was a big part
of what we did with our class. And I don't
think it was important to you bo. You guys are
about the same age was important to your grades or
when you were in geography when you were in elementary school.
Speaker 3 (03:42):
It was mostly just California, Like we learned Sacramento, but
we did not learn the entire country.
Speaker 2 (03:48):
Yeah, wow, prefere so not as much geography, but like
we had these Ohio. So I grew up in Toledo,
so there were a lot of these, like civic history
classes for Ohio. And I know way too much about
the French Indian Wars in the War of eighteen twelve
because those are like all the landmarks around northwest Ohio.
Speaker 1 (04:08):
Knowing the state capitals, knowing the Great Lakes is something
we've talked about with you, like something like the Upper
Peninsula of Michigan. It's an ongoing joke that we revealed
that there's a whole other piece of Michigan that Manzi
didn't know exist. But that's not Moncey's fault. That's the
school system's fault for not pressing it on you. You guys
probably were learning computers while we were typing on typewriters
(04:29):
or using floppy disks with our computer flop big floppy
disks that were actually floppy. And I'm playing, where in
the world is Carmen San Diego Trail? Do you know
the state capital of Missouri?
Speaker 3 (04:41):
No?
Speaker 1 (04:42):
No, I didn't think you did. I golong cross does
just off fan Jefferson City. That is correct. Wow, I
was going to say MISSOULI face that is that is correct.
But we talk about Kansas City, Missouri. We'll only do
it for five more years, and then we're going to
talk about the chiefs being in Kansas. But the Kansas
the City chiefs are in the headlines. We're not going
(05:03):
to talk about their stadium. That's not going to happen.
We are going to talk about what could happen tomorrow.
And we just went through an exercise in breaking down
Christmas Day NFL versus Christmas Day NBA and how the
NFL got into the mess that they did with this
Christmas Day schedule. I feel bad for the family in
(05:24):
Kansas City. And I said this on the I Want
Your Flex podcast, by the way, which with Mike Carmen
and our executive producer Ian Roddy, which it could get
wherever you get your podcasts. But I made this point
that I felt bad for the family that had planned
to take a family member, maybe it's an uncle, maybe
it's a sibling, a mom or dad or kids to
(05:46):
Chiefs Broncos on Christmas night and the morning of they
were going to wake up and unveil the tickens and
say we're going tonight, like that's going.
Speaker 4 (05:58):
That was the plan for many people.
Speaker 1 (06:00):
Yes, yeah, and now they have to see Chris Oladucan.
That guy end up having to be the starting quarterback
without Rashid Rice, who has now put on ir as well.
No Patrick Mahomes And what's going to be a nice
night in Kansas City. It's not going to be super
cold at all. Forty degrees was the temperature. It would
have been a great night to celebrate. It would have
(06:22):
been a great night to try to win the AFC
West if you were the Chiefs. But all that's gone
out the window. So not the only reason that you
would show up on Thursday night is to say goodbye
to Travis Kelson, which we don't know if it's going
to be goodbye, but we think it's going to be goodbye.
This would be Travis Kelcey's final home game at Arrowhead
Stadium if he chooses to retire after the season. So
(06:45):
I ask you Manzi Blanios, and I asked the crew
as well, actually do we have Andy Reid? First of all,
let's let the head coach get the honors and then
we'll weigh in on the tight end. This is what
Andy Reid had to say when asked if tomorrow is
the last game for Travis Kelcey at Arrowhead Stadium.
Speaker 7 (07:01):
I think his numbers and personality and the person I
think speak for themselves. Phenomenal person great for the community,
has been great for the community of Ton. Is everything
you want from a player represented an organ.
Speaker 1 (07:22):
I think that's a very fair statement without giving the
news or saying anything that would be newsworthy. Andy Reid
supporting his player and a player that we've seen them
you know.
Speaker 4 (07:35):
Bomb heads literally literally yeah.
Speaker 1 (07:39):
On the sidelines. But Andy Reid I think probably knows something,
but used that line of speech to honor Travis Kelcey
in the career that he's had a career that may
only have two more games in the NFL. So do
you think these are his final two games in the NFL, Manzi,
and that tomorrow is his last game at Arrowhead.
Speaker 6 (07:55):
I it seems that way. It seems that way it
would be he he.
Speaker 4 (08:00):
Would be lying to himself.
Speaker 6 (08:01):
If Travis kelce is looking at himself in the mirror
saying that he still has the same pep and step
that he did the last couple of years, you know
what I'm saying, Especially you're gonna enter next season without Patrick.
I know they're saying he might be ready by week one.
I know that, but you don't know the future of
the quarterback room. It seems to me like it is
(08:22):
the end for Travis Kelcey.
Speaker 4 (08:25):
And it's just crazy to think that this is how
it's gonna end.
Speaker 6 (08:27):
And I was gonna look this up, but I'm sure
you know Travis Kelcey is only played for the Chiefs.
Speaker 4 (08:31):
Yes, Okay, So like it's it's kind of a big deal.
Speaker 6 (08:35):
Yet I don't think it is because of who Travis
kelce has become.
Speaker 1 (08:41):
Mm hmm.
Speaker 6 (08:42):
Because he's no longer just the NFL player. He's no
longer this tight end, great tight end.
Speaker 1 (08:48):
Yeah, one of the top probably top five of all time.
Speaker 4 (08:51):
Yeah, yes, probably right.
Speaker 1 (08:53):
Yeah, he's going in. There will be some people over
the next couple of weeks or months when I there
talking about Travis Kelce that will bring up someone like, like,
I think Tony Gonzalez is the standard bear. I think
that if Gronk wasn't robbed with his injuries, that Gronk
was probably the best tight end that we've ever seen. Size, speed,
(09:14):
blocking ability, the whole deal. But yeah, but with Kelsey
and the weapon that he is, like, there's just there's
no denying on his greatness for the numbers that he
put up, even if other guys maybe had more roles
as a blocker, but he is top five. I find
the conversation for someone who is so high at their
(09:35):
position and so popular now interesting on how that player
could be remembered. Because this is also the reason why
I thought Travis Kelce kept playing. Travis Kelce had a great,
great life and was doing dating TV shows, and then
the Chiefs go on a run and they start winning
Super Bowls, and now he's doing podcasts with his brother
(09:59):
and the Kelsey fami as popular, and then Taylor Swift
comes into his life and now and.
Speaker 4 (10:05):
Now it's different.
Speaker 1 (10:06):
Yeah, Travis Kelce, for as great as the career was
of Jason, Travis Kelcey was the bigger star, like of
the two. Like Jason kelce obviously had his following in
Philadelphia and is beloved in that city, but Travis was
the headliner right like it was, and I think Jason
would even admit that. But now, all of a sudden,
you bring Taylor Swift in in her career which is
(10:28):
going to go on for decades and decades. I felt
that Travis Kelcey was in a spot that he didn't
know where he should go because while they were both
at the top of their fields, she was going to
be at the top of hers longer than he was
going to be at the top of his, And so
for him to play this year I think allowed him
(10:49):
also time to elongate that. I think it's a very
scary proposition probably for Travis kelce of what's life going
to be like. I think he's going to be absolutely fine,
and I think he'll find his niche. The question is
is does he become always be Travis kelce the Hall
of Fame tight end. Does he become Travis Kelcey TV
presenter celebrity on his own right, or does he become
(11:12):
Travis Kelcey, husband of pop star Taylor Swift.
Speaker 4 (11:15):
Yeah, that's what you said.
Speaker 6 (11:17):
I was like, you're right, no matter what, Taylor Swift
was always gonna overshadow him, right, like, no matter what,
which is probably why he wanted to continue playing to
prove what It's like. No, no, we're very separate. It's like, yeah,
she's a star, but I am a football player. Don't
forget that. And to be honest with you, Dan, as.
Speaker 4 (11:34):
A Swifty, I love Taylor Swift.
Speaker 6 (11:37):
I think that he will be remembered first, will be
Travis Kelsey, Taylor Swift's boyfriend. Also hall of Fame tight end,
Like that's gonna be plus, that's gonna.
Speaker 4 (11:49):
Be the afterthought. He will be tied.
Speaker 6 (11:52):
In to Taylor Swift more than he will be tied
tied into being the Hall of Fame tight end that
he is.
Speaker 1 (11:59):
I never thought that I would look at Michael Strahan
other than Hall of Fame defensive end. You brought up
Miles Garrett earlier. Yeah, Michael Strahan single season sack leader.
I never thought that I would look at him differently.
And I remember all of Michael Strahan's career the entirely
the entirety of it, and now he's become such a
(12:22):
celebrity and such a face. Football is still a big
part of it, but I think that he has transitioned
with being the Good Morning America host, game show host,
and all these other entities that his life after football
has actually helped him surpass the fame that he had
in football to now where he's at his own right.
(12:43):
And I'm wondering if that's going to happen with Travis Kelson.
Speaker 4 (12:45):
It's already happening, That's what's crazy. It's already happening for
Travis kelcey.
Speaker 1 (12:50):
But that's because he's of who he's married.
Speaker 4 (12:53):
To correct or who he's going to be married to.
Speaker 1 (12:56):
So that's so Michael Strahan went on to do things
that made him more popular because he was the football player, right,
Travis kelce will probably have opportunities outside of football to
do things to go on a path of Michael Strahan.
But I think that's different than just being the husband
(13:16):
and fiance of Taylor Swift.
Speaker 6 (13:17):
I just think that's always going to be the first
thing people are going to say about him.
Speaker 1 (13:22):
What do you guys think, Bo Benson, Chris Purfett, Isaac
lowncron Nuts McGee seven who followed me today on X
True Story.
Speaker 6 (13:32):
But not me.
Speaker 4 (13:34):
Not me.
Speaker 1 (13:34):
Maybe Nuts McGee five will follow you, but I haven't
been so lucky. Will you always look at Travis kelce
as the Hall of Fame tight end or do you
think there's going to be a point where he's just
Taylor Swift's significant other, husband, partner, whatever. Or do you
think there's going to be more of the Michael Strahan
TV star for Travis kelce I.
Speaker 5 (13:52):
Think I look at it as one in one a
because we are coming from the background of being sports fans.
I think that it might be different for an average
citizen out there, But I think Michael Strahan is a
great analogy because Travis kelcey has so many prospects for
being at the forefront of sports culture and pop culture
(14:13):
in the future.
Speaker 7 (14:15):
Uh.
Speaker 5 (14:15):
The one thing I'd like to raise is how did
Patrick mahomes ACL tear affect if at all the calculus
of this decision. If Mahomes does not injure his ACL,
would they try and run it back next year with
Kelsey and Mahomes.
Speaker 6 (14:32):
I think that definitely is a factor to his decision.
What's going on with Patrick Mahomes, but adding how Travis
Kelce was already in the spotlight aside from on the field,
he had the dating show.
Speaker 4 (14:46):
He liked the attention.
Speaker 6 (14:48):
Right like, he was already doing all of that, but
it did not catapult him the way dating Taylor Swift has.
So that's why I think it's that's going to be
always the tie in with him because he was a
reality star already but people forgot about it.
Speaker 1 (15:02):
I agree, but I think there will be more doors
open to him to be on network television, to be
I don't know, in movies or TV show.
Speaker 6 (15:12):
Was already on an American Horror Story, one of those spinoffs.
He was in already on one of those, and then
he did Happy Gilmour too.
Speaker 4 (15:19):
He's already doing the stuff.
Speaker 1 (15:21):
I guess I'm sorry, No, that's okay, go ahead, Chris.
Speaker 2 (15:24):
I guess I'm struggling because at least by my like
and again I know I'm not this is I think
that the issue with Travis is like it feels like
we're talking about multiple different audiences that there is no
monoculture here to really talk about, because I think how
he's gonna be viewed by someone who's close to like NFL,
like me, is going to be different from someone who's
(15:45):
not coming in from NFL and makes it tough, like
he could be a straight hand figure. I don't think
he's there, And I guess I just all these things
we talk about with him, I guess I associate more
with his brother right now. I think of Jason Kelsey
as the guy who's big in all these commercial and advertisements,
and he's all over the place, I guess, And I'm
struggling with that that like I because I'm not finding
(16:07):
these places where Travis is apparently well.
Speaker 1 (16:09):
As great as Jason Kelsey is. And I don't know
of anybody who doesn't like Jason kelce Like Jason Kelcey
is freaking awesome. Again, I think that he would even
tell you that he's there because of Travis, Like he
was a cult hero in Philadelphia, but he's not the
national face that he is without the platform of his
brother and his brother's success.
Speaker 4 (16:28):
Who is brother has always liked the attention.
Speaker 1 (16:31):
Yes, yeah, it probably brought some of Jason into that.
I look at the potential of Travis Kelcey and Taylor Swift.
It's not apples to apples, but it's the only comparison
that I could think of where Tom Brady and Justsel
Bunchin were still their own people now. They didn't transition
like Giselle Bunchin wasn't then known as Tom Brady's wife
(16:53):
and Tom Brady wasn't known as Gisel Bunchin's husband. They
were in their own entities. It's just when you're not
the greatest quarterback of all time and you're a tight
end in the NFL, how do you take that leap?
And I think that he could take the leap if
he takes the leap like Michael Strahan did in having
those opportunities where I look at Strayhan now more as
(17:14):
a TV figure than I do have his NFL career,
which is again crazy to think of the Hall of
Fame defensive end in that way. But I think that's
what Kelsey has the opportunity to do. And I just
don't know if it's if it's going to happen or not.
I would if I had to put my money on that,
I would say he would. He would be able to
(17:34):
continue this and make his own name as opposed to
just always then be known as Taylor Swift's husband.
Speaker 4 (17:41):
I really don't see that.
Speaker 6 (17:42):
And I feel like I like the example you just
use of Jasell and Tom Brady because they were both
stars in their own field.
Speaker 4 (17:50):
She was a model.
Speaker 6 (17:52):
Everybody knew who's Victoria's secret model, but she was not what.
Taylor Swift is so big than everything and everyone that
That's why I don't think he can do anything that's
going to separate.
Speaker 4 (18:06):
Himself from that.
Speaker 1 (18:07):
Yeah, that may be the case.
Speaker 4 (18:09):
He could do everything, and I agree.
Speaker 6 (18:11):
I think he's going to go and try and maybe
have a Michael Strahan type of post career and do
all of that. Maybe he wants to do more acting,
he's already doing it, but Taylors just so big that
I don't know if he could do something that would
separate himself from that.
Speaker 1 (18:26):
Here's where I feel sorry for Travis Kelce and I
don't feel sorry sorry for him, but I felt like
he was in a tough spot. He had an awful
Super Bowl.
Speaker 4 (18:34):
Mm hmmm right now he was trying to change that.
Speaker 1 (18:36):
Pointed out that you weren't trying. And I actually think
that there are probably other chiefs that were just as exhausted.
But Kelsey had his effort show up on film on
the field, and it was a heck of an indictment,
But I thought it was a culmination of three years
of going through all of that and then when they
found out they weren't going to reep, it's just all right, well,
what's the point. I think he wanted to write that wrong.
(18:57):
I agree he wanted to change that narrative, but I
also thought that you only have so many years in
the NFL. Again, he is he and Taylor Swift. I
know Taylor Swift's a bigger star, but just at least
humor me here and saying like they both are high
on their own platforms with their own thing, and he
had would have a difficult time giving that up that
(19:17):
if he would have step away, then it's just Taylor
Swift now in her career and he's trying to find himself.
So I think he elongated that as well. It's good
for his podcast, honestly, to keep playing and be in
the game and to have those conversations. So maybe it
was outside stuff that ended up bringing him back this year.
The Chiefs have never developed a plan in replacing Travis Kelcey.
(19:39):
That's their That's one of their biggest faults this year.
Not too much different in terms of stat wise, but
they've targeted him significantly less. Yeah, he's probably playing less.
I don't have a snap count here compared to what
it was previously, but you would have to imagine that
there were less snaps. And we've seen that those numbers
go on throughout Travis Kelcey's career. So it's not like
(20:03):
there was ever going to be a rebirth or a revitalization.
He just was hanging on and hanging on for another year.
And I don't know if all the right reasons were
in place to play this year, but because this year
turned out the way that it did, now with the
Mahomes thing that you brought up and Isaac talked about there,
it seems like this is the fitting end. And by
(20:23):
the way, if Travis Kelcey can have his own night
at Arrowhead to sign off because Patrick Mahomes isn't going
to be there, good point, like that may be the
fitting way to do it. Play your last game, don't
play in Week eighteen, like your last game be against
the Denver Broncos on Christmas Night. Hopefully you can catch
a touchdown pass and call it quits.
Speaker 6 (20:43):
Yeah, that seems like it's the right way to go out.
It didn't work out for you, because I agree. I
think he was trying to right the wrongs of our
last images of him playing in the Super Bowl, right like,
he didn't want us to remember it like that, and
so I think he was doing that.
Speaker 4 (20:58):
But go out at home, go out week seventeen at home.
Speaker 1 (21:04):
Don't yep, don't.
Speaker 4 (21:05):
Don't stretch this out more than you have already.
Speaker 1 (21:07):
There's nothing else to play for.
Speaker 3 (21:08):
He's taking eighty percent of the team snaps here.
Speaker 1 (21:11):
Okay, So that's yeah, that's that's what was the last
part boe hundred and nine total. Okay, that's actually more
than I thought, because there's a point where it actually
was less. So he's been on the field more. It
just doesn't have as many targets.
Speaker 4 (21:23):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (21:24):
But then also maybe because they've never found a plan
to adequately replace Travis Kelzy of their offense and drafting
another tight end to replace him, so they probably needed
him just as much as a little bit.
Speaker 4 (21:35):
About that, absolutely, I think so as well.
Speaker 1 (21:37):
Nature Boy tweets in Travis's to Taylor as Sonny was
to share mmmmm, it predates me a little bit, but
I can see it share share seems like the Rocks.
Speaker 4 (21:48):
Yeah right, Star. She's still out there.

I will not do that to jinx them, so I
will not Yes, I will not pick them. It is
a jinx if I do that. I think I right now,
Oregon Georgia seems like a nice National championship game, but
there's something about that Texas Tech game, and nobody wants
to talk about Texas Tech or how good their defense is.
(25:27):
And it's an early start in an Orange Bowl on
New Year's Day, Oregon's traveling across the country. That could
be a bit of a bit of a hiccup. So
I'm not quite there on my bracket. But yeah, I'm
I would have Oregon Georgia in the title game, but
I'm a little scared for the Ducks in that in
that interesting Yeah, we shall see though, lots to play for,
(25:52):
in a lot of excitement, and hey, you may not
like the format. You may not like that Notre Dame
wasn't it, And you may not like that James Madison
and to go in. However, you can't be mad at
a bracket challenge, So head over over to Fox Sports
Radio dot iHeart dot com and fill one out. There
are odds out for the next head coach of the
Tennessee Titans. And this kind of connects to the conversation
(26:16):
that we had about Travis Kelce how the Kansas City
Chiefs could play into that Titan situation next. But first,
Isaac Lohencrott here to give us the latest of what's
happening on this Christmas Eve. What's going on? Isaac can
It is.
Speaker 5 (26:30):
A busy Christmas Eve, Dan and Monty, especially in the
National Football League. How's this for a recovery? Pittsburgh Steelers
linebacker TJ. Watt returned to the practice field today after
missing two games because of a partially collapsed a lung.
He was officially listed as a limited participant. Ravens quarterback
Lamar Jackson did not practice today for the second straight
day because of a back contusion. The Minnesota Vikings rolled
(26:52):
out running back Jordan Mason and tied in TJ. Hockinson
for tomorrow's game against the Lions. Detroit meanwhile, listed receiver
amanas Saint Brown as questionable because of a knee injury
at bunning back David Montgomery as questionable due to illness.
The Kansas City Chiefs place receivers Rashie Rice and Taekwon Thornton,
as well as cornerbacks Trent McDuffie and Jalen Watson on
(27:12):
injured reserve. They also listed defensive end George Carloptis and
linebacker Nick Bolton as questionable for Tomorrow's game against the Broncos.
The Broncos a short time ago just ruled out linebacker
dra Greenlaw because of a hamstring injury. Sesame Street helped
raise all of us. Now it's our turn donate this
holiday season at sesame dot org because the world needs
(27:34):
Sesame and Sesame needs you. Finally, Dan and Monse, we
have an NFL dental update. The Philadelphia Eagles announced that
star receiver Aj Brown missed practice today due to a
teeth injury. It turns out that Brown is having a
set of wisdom teeth removed today.
Speaker 3 (27:55):
Now.
Speaker 5 (27:55):
Back in August of twenty twenty three, Brown had another
set of wisdom teeth removed, and at the time immediately
after the procedure, he did a memorable IG Live in
which he sounded more like Mike Tyson.
Speaker 1 (28:11):
Listen, Hi, guys, I think I gotta go. I'm okay though,
I just got my wisdom removal.
Speaker 4 (28:17):
I'm okay, all right, yeah, okay, yeah, let me okay, okay, okay, yeah,
me too, okay by.
Speaker 5 (28:25):
No word yet on whether mister Brown will be doing
another IG Live after today's procedure.
Speaker 1 (28:30):
Back to you, you had recently, like within the last
couple of years.
Speaker 4 (28:34):
Yeah, like two years ago. I think I did it.
Speaker 1 (28:36):
You have all four?
Speaker 6 (28:37):
No, so one of them was not taken out because
the orthodontis was like, it's very close to your nerve
and it's like, I don't want to touch it.
Speaker 4 (28:46):
If it's never bothered you, and it's never bothered me,
but it's still in there, and if it does start
to bother me or push, then.
Speaker 6 (28:52):
I have to go put you at three three taken
out and they had to go like cut me open.
Speaker 4 (28:57):
It wasn't just a yeah, we get it so asleep.
Speaker 6 (29:00):
I was like, oh okay, yeah, I was not awake
for that.
Speaker 4 (29:03):
I was like no, no, no, no, no, we're not doing this.
Speaker 1 (29:05):
It's awful. Bob Benson, Wait, did you raise your hand.
You went in on wisdom teeth talk.
Speaker 3 (29:10):
Yeah, no, I was just the same exact way they
had to put me out, cut me open, take my
teeth out.
Speaker 4 (29:15):
It sucked, it did it did.
Speaker 3 (29:17):
It wasn't as loopy afterwards, which I was really disappointed about.
Speaker 6 (29:20):
I don't even remember like leaving, I don't remember any
of that, yes, but I know I signed papers.
Speaker 4 (29:27):
I was like, oh here, yes, sign away.
Speaker 1 (29:29):
I've never met anybody that's like, wasn't that bad. You're
like some people like overstate things or understate things.
Speaker 4 (29:36):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (29:37):
Yeah, it was an issue for me. I still have
one left as well. That doesn't bother me. But I
had a you know variety. I didn't do it all
three at one time like you did.
Speaker 6 (29:46):
I just want bigger, go home, just do it, you
know what I'm saying. I didn't want to deal with
it again. And it really wasn't as bad. It was bad,
but it just wasn't as bad.
Speaker 1 (29:55):
Will Matt nagy uh go big or stay home? That's
the question. So the Kansas City Chiefs offensive coordinator, once
left for an NFL job with the Chicago Bears, came
back to Kansas City. Now Naggy's name is thrown into
the mix with the Tennessee Titans. Mike McCarthy's name's been
thrown out in Tennessee, but Matt Naggy because of Cam Woard,
(30:16):
the young quarterback. There's reasons why Naggy is one of
the top candidates. Here's my question to you, Monci, would
you take the Titans job or would you wait to
see when Andy Reid is going to retire? If you're
Matt Naggy, that maybe you would then be the one
to take over the Chiefs squad.
Speaker 6 (30:38):
If I'm Matt Naggy, I would wait it out. I
don't think Andy Reid has many years left. I think
I think maybe he has won more correct, I apologize
not yes, I don't think he has many years left
coaching being a head coach for the Kansas City Chiefs.
Speaker 4 (30:54):
So I would wait it out.
Speaker 6 (30:55):
And I do think that Andy Reid may want a
bet better send off, like we were just talking about
Travis Kelce right, Like, no, it should be your last game.
You really should just ended at Arrowhead and the fans,
in front of the fans and call it a career.
It's a great one. I feel like Andy Reid may
want to actually finish his career with Patrick Mahomes on
(31:16):
the field next to him. Sure, you know so, I
think maybe one more year in him. And so if
I'm Matt Naggie, I'm going to wake this out.
Speaker 1 (31:25):
I'm curious on how much of the toll this season
took on Andy Reid because there was a pace where,
if the Chiefs would have continued to roll and if
they would have won the Super Bowl last year, some
of Bill Belichick's marks and other marks were really in
reach for Andy Reid to surpass as a head coach.
And Lashawn McCoy it said years ago when we all
just assumed Bill Belichick was the greatest of all time,
(31:46):
Shada McCoy's like, it's Andy Reid. And then all of
a sudden, Reid started racking up Super Bowls, so he
was on the trajectory. I'm just curious after losing to
the Eagles and then having the season like this kind
of sets him back on that pace also probably took
a lot out of them. My issue, if I'm Matt
nagy is saying, do I leave Patrick Mahomes and wait
(32:09):
around for this for the next two or three years,
but no guarantee that he would be the head coach
for the job in Tennessee, and I think on the surface,
Titans will have cap space, They'll have a high pick,
They've got a young quarterback. That all is, That's all
seems fair. My two things against the Titans are this,
they have so much turnover and have had so much
(32:30):
turnover recently where it's coach GM coach GM and making changes.
So there seems to be a little bit of instability
with ownership. I know they've got a new stadium coming in,
and maybe with a new stadium there's even going to
be more of a rush to feel like you need
to succeed there. The other portion of it is, we
see what Mike Rabel has done in New England, and
I'm sure the Titans fans are like, yeah, maybe we
(32:53):
should have kept him around. But Mike Rabel was moved
out of Tennessee, So they're going to move away from
Mike Rabel, who is really well liked by players there.
What would they do to you?
Speaker 4 (33:06):
How long is your release?
Speaker 1 (33:07):
Yes? Correct? So with a lot of the Matt Naggie
talk being out there, if I were him, I would
wait a couple of years. And by the way, if
the Chiefs return with Patrick Mahomes being healthy and continue
to have a great offense, maybe more of a running game.
Matt Naggy's going to get another opportunity. I just don't
(33:30):
know if I would pick the Titans as the opportunity
to leave Patrick Mahomes.
Speaker 6 (33:34):
I feel like the only reason you would take that
job is because you see so much potential in cam Ward.
Right if he sees cam morning, he's like, that is
who I want my quarterback to be. Then maybe, but
I agree with you, like, why there's nothing selling me
to jump ship over here?
Speaker 4 (33:50):
It really isn't.
Speaker 6 (33:51):
I would just be patient and like you said, like
you still have Patrick Mahomes, Like nobody is expecting that
we've seen the lasts of Mahomes.
Speaker 4 (33:57):
We're all waiting to see what comes next. There's no reason,
there's no reason.
Speaker 6 (34:02):
I don't think there's anything on the other side that
is really a shiny object that I want to go
try out.
Speaker 1 (34:09):
I am curious on if he feels the need to
write is and to right the wrongs of Chicago. So
when you have Mitchell Trubisky, maybe he's like, Okay, I
can do that with cam Ward. I want another shot
at it. Because maybe these were the mistakes that I
made and for and the Bears are having your great season.
Naggy's tenure wasn't awful like there was. I mean there
(34:30):
the double doink happened in the playoffs, which tells you
that they made the playoffs, and it also tells you
that they were field goal away close. Ye right, you know,
so like that portion of it dismissed. He never should
have focused and and and made kickers kick from that
same spot when you're having tryouts. That would be a
fault of Matt Nagy to try to turn around and change.
But the ability to go into a spot where there
(34:50):
is already a quarterback in place, to your point, could
be something that is intriguing, especially if he's like I
didn't handle this right with Trubisky. I wish I would
have done that. That may be reason for him to
leave to go to Nashville, But ultimately I would just
wait and see how things play out in Kansas City.
Speaker 6 (35:04):
Right exactly, It just seems like you're in a good
spot again. Andy Reid does not have many years left
as a head coach. You could tell, you could see it.
He's probably ready to wrap it up soon.
Speaker 1 (35:14):
Sure, Yeah, you're not gonna be waiting eight years.
Speaker 4 (35:16):
You know you're not waiting five years.
Speaker 1 (35:18):
And I think Matt Nagy actually is the ability to
be picky because of the situation in Kansas City. She's
Monty Blago, so I'm Dan Byer. The road to Milan

(36:47):
NFL Action Week seventeen starts tomorrow with a triple header
of games on Christmas Day, then two games on Saturday.
I'll be going to the Chargers Texans game, I think
I told you, and it'll be the first time I've
ever been at an NFL game at so far. So
it's been around my cousin's coming into town from Wisconsin.
(37:08):
He's excited. He wanted to go see a Chargers game.
So thank you NFL for putting that on a Saturday
and not on a Sunday where you and I'll team
up with Kerry Rhodes here on the End Zone Radio
on Fox Sports Radio, but checking out Texans Chargers. It's
also good because there's no other games going on at
the same time, so you're not missing those games.
Speaker 4 (37:27):
It also seems like a good matchup.
Speaker 6 (37:28):
We're discussing how there aren't great matchups tomorrow on Christmas Day,
but you're going to a good matchup, so that'll be fun.
Speaker 1 (37:37):
The NFL has their flex scheduling where they have five
games that they kind of put on hold in week
seventeen and then they wait to see how the season
played out. The Seahawks Panthers was a game that was
actually could have been a Saturday game, but they decided
let's go Texans Chargers, Ravens Packers. The Cardinals Bengals was
a game that could have been on a Saturday, so
(37:58):
could the Giants and Raiders. Those without playoff implications, they
just threw them on Sunday.
Speaker 4 (38:04):
Absolutely.
Speaker 6 (38:05):
I mean, I think the Seahawks and the Panthers can
be a fun one, but the two that they flexed
are good, are good, But the Seahawks and the Panthers
can be fun.
Speaker 1 (38:12):
That's the tricky part with the Panthers is because they
and the Buccaneers hadn't played until last week for the
first time, and then they play again next week, and
the Panthers getting that win huge for them. But now
you have the Seahawks coming to town with a little
extra rest after that win against the Rams, and the
Seaks have been for there's the narrative of the teams
going west and playing at one o'clock eastern. They're going east.
(38:34):
Excuse me from the West going east and playing a
one o'clock Eastern time kickoff. Seahawks have been really good
in that spot as of late. They actually won in
Jacksonville earlier on the season. We'll see if it bodes
well for them Sunday against Carolina, as the Panthers have
a lot to play for. I'm sure Panthers fans would
like to wish upon a win for their fans. We're
gonna do a little Secret Sanna here on Fox Sports Radio.
(38:56):
We have each put a name in a hat and
we mixed it up. You could not pick your own
could not pick your own name, but you are to

Speaker 1 (39:31):
Jerry Jones give the Cowboys owner in general name.
Speaker 4 (39:35):
I thought of a couple of things, Remember those Cowboys.
Speaker 6 (39:39):
I thought about gifting him, Hey, George Pickens extension ave
on Mexico.
Speaker 4 (39:45):
I thought about I thought about that.
Speaker 6 (39:46):
But I'm going to give him a time machine so
that he can go back to the nineties and live
the good old days that he's still trying to live
now because they're not here, babe. So I'm going to
give him a time machine so he can go back
and live those three Super Bowls that he's holding on
to thirty years later.
Speaker 4 (40:04):
He has my still own line. Yes, yes you are.
Speaker 1 (40:10):
Just keep it, just keep it, just keep it going.
I'm here for all. He could have got him a monkey,
I got yeah, got him a time machine.
Speaker 4 (40:20):
Time machine.
Speaker 1 (40:21):
I think that's under the thirty dollars limit. That we
have here?
Speaker 6 (40:23):
Is that what we do?
Speaker 1 (40:24):
Well?
Speaker 4 (40:24):
You know he doesn't count just a little bit.
Speaker 1 (40:28):
I wrote. I was the one that wrote, Jerry j.
Speaker 4 (40:30):
Johns, that's a good one. That's a good one.
Speaker 1 (40:32):
I was curious on where you were going to go,
if you were going to go a player, if you're
going to make a Parsons coming on the way back.
Speaker 8 (40:38):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (40:38):
No, the time machine. He loves the time machine as
well because he loves to look back a safe Yeah.
Speaker 5 (40:43):
The war.
Speaker 4 (40:46):
Send him back to live his heyday.
Speaker 1 (40:48):
At the Glory Days. Yeah, the glory whole days as
he calls them, as well as an oil glory hill.
Yes he does. Yes, he does. Striking it rich.
Speaker 4 (40:59):
Because it's been long. It's been a long time.
Speaker 1 (41:00):
Yes. Cowboys not making it to the postseason this year unfortunately,
So hopefully that gift of yours will brighten up Jerry.
Speaker 4 (41:07):
Jones exactly, Bill Benson, do you want to go?
Speaker 3 (41:11):
Sure? I pulled Lane Kiffin now you head coach ls
Oh wow, I got two gifts for Lane Kiffin. First
one is a classic book series we all remember, job
hunting and career change all in one for dummies.
Speaker 1 (41:26):
He will need that again, So he will need that again.
Speaker 3 (41:29):
We all know he will. You know, just he could
have handled it a little bit better, Lane, But it's
the season of forgiveness and the perpetual hope, so everything
will be find Thats why I'm also going to get
him the River Road Recipes the Textbook of Louisiana Cuisine,
because he all that food out in Louisiana at least
for the next couple of years. Oool boys.
Speaker 1 (41:51):
Lane Kiffin also posted a shot of Tiger Stadium. This
may have been last night. Maybe it was on Instagram.
I can't find it, but it was just very blurry
and out of focus, and there was a telephone wire
in that went over Tiger Stadium where the wording was.
And I just thought to myself, let's take another picture,
(42:12):
like it's okay.
Speaker 2 (42:13):
I just I just realized he gets a hang out
with a live tiger now, Mike the Tiger. Yes, they
have a live tiger on campus. I am what's going
to happen here.
Speaker 1 (42:24):
I don't know which version of Mike the Tiger I saw,
but I did see it's right next to the football stadium.
That's a that's a good, good recommendation for Lane Kiffin.
Isaac Locron, who did you draw.
Speaker 5 (42:38):
Okay, I've got the paper right here. It says on
the paper MONSI please don't tell Dan the nuts McGee's
actually my burner accounts and Serle Isaac up, sorry.
Speaker 1 (42:52):
This is nuts McGee seven.
Speaker 5 (42:54):
Yes, okay, Tylo Tyler.
Speaker 1 (42:59):
By the who wrote Lane Kiffin raised their hand. Who
was Isac? All right? I wonder who wrote Tyler?
Speaker 4 (43:06):
I wrote Tyler. Oh, surprise, he can use some gifts,
all right.
Speaker 5 (43:11):
With that in mind, I'm also going to the book,
the bookshelf. This is a very practical gift. It was
a book that was published in two thousand by those
distinguished PhDs Alan A. Kava Iola and Neil J. Lavender, PhD.
(43:31):
The title Toxic co Workers How to deal with Dysfunctional
People on the job working with Narcissists, borderlines, sociopaths and
others unquote. And I got a thirty seven percent off to.
Speaker 1 (43:46):
Now I'll tell you what I think that Chriss came
early for TYLERU because Chris Paul was let go by
the Clippers, and everybody just assumed it was Chris Paul's fault. Yeah,
so no one was ever placing blame on Tylu. And
then we saw the practice clip come out. Oh the
words I don't know if it was. It's not words exchange,
(44:08):
but the words said by TYLERU and Chris Paul was
trying to say, like nobody thought, and maybe that's wrong
of us, but nobody thought, man, tylu must be the problem.
Speaker 4 (44:18):
I mean, I just put it on Chris Paul's I
did not put it on Chris Paul.
Speaker 1 (44:22):
You did not.
Speaker 4 (44:22):
You're one of the few I did not put it
on Chris Paul.
Speaker 6 (44:24):
But you're right that most people that was, oh, it's
CP three, when in reality it's like, I don't know
that was.
Speaker 1 (44:33):
The gift that keeps send giving Chris Purfett. Who did
you have for all? Right, let's see here. This is
Jonas's w NBA parlay. I'm not sure what this is
doing here? Stupid which one?
Speaker 3 (44:46):
Which one?
Speaker 2 (44:47):
Uh, well, it clearly didn't cash. So actually there's like
a whole stack of these in here to clean these out? Sometimes, Okay,
here we go justin Jefferson oddly specific? But okay, which
which one's oddly specific? Justin Jefferson or actually both? Well,
this is specific. We could be getting him books here,
(45:07):
but I feel like time machine feels I should do
something extravagant and we should move him, maybe gift him,
I don't know, a new team. It feels like this
is kind of this. This year in particular has felt
like the justin the crashdown to Earth, that there was
a lot of quarterbacks that could make Justin Jefferson work,
and I think we finally hit that limit in that
(45:29):
JJ McCarthy is not that. And I would know because
I've been front and center with him on my fantasy
team and I am officially now the last place in
our fantasy league, which, as I have told Monsey and
Dan several times, we hand out incredibly cruel punishments in
our league.
Speaker 1 (45:45):
So it's gonna have to do. We have to endure
the punishment now, yeah right, yeah yeah.
Speaker 2 (45:49):
And it's not something that should be, not a punishment
that is suitable for on air either, I must say.
But I do feel like the time is shorter for
Justin Jeffers in there than it is longer at this point.
Speaker 1 (46:04):
Why didn't you just give him nine? Give him give
him some good nines, just nine. You know what nine is?
Nine is JJ McCarthy's alter ego. I know, I think
nine for a life to have JJ McCarthy. You've got
nine all the time. It's always nine because nine is
(46:27):
nine is just a different beast. That thing is the
lamest thing in the national football It's even it's lamer
than the face paint.
Speaker 4 (46:35):
Yeah, yeah, nine nice.
Speaker 2 (46:37):
A lot of EyeBlack. He uses way too much EyeBlack
for quarterback ever should helpen.
Speaker 1 (46:41):
I don't get it. I don't get it, Jackson Dart.
Speaker 3 (46:43):
I never thought there would be someone that's more annoying
than Dak Prescott, but JJ McCarthy somehow is and and
so quickly.
Speaker 2 (46:51):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (46:51):
Yeah, this has been virtually a rookie year for him.
So this is just I will say this as well.
I think that Justin Jefferson has handled that situation much
better than other star wide receivers would have handled that situation.
Speaker 4 (47:05):
Could not agree with you more.
Speaker 1 (47:07):
He has been a model athlete, and he had He
had two catches for four yards against the Seahawks. Yep,
and that was after he started the game with one
catch for negative four yards. They threw him just a
meaningless pass with Max bros Morin just to get him
the eight on the second reception. But you haven't heard
(47:29):
him complain. You haven't heard him pout. You haven't heard
him say I wish my old quarterback was here. None
of that, or old old quarterback, none of that, And
he could have other wide receivers would have taken the opportunity.
Justin Jefferson did not.
Speaker 4 (47:43):
I agree. I'm glad you brought that up, because it's true.
Speaker 6 (47:45):
We literally have aj Brown complaining when that team is winning,
and there's Justin Jefferson and it has been an ugly
season for the Minnesota Viking.
Speaker 8 (47:53):
Maybe this is from.
Speaker 1 (47:53):
Beginning to end.
Speaker 2 (47:54):
Maybe this is a result of too much Minnesota nice.
Maybe we've got to give him some lessons and how
to be really. Maybe maybe that's it. We buy him
a copy of the Prince.
Speaker 1 (48:03):
You didn't give him a sign that says home with
the state of Minnesota as the O in it, Like
that is it's everywhere you know, Oh, every state does it?
Even ones that don't fit like that don't make any sense,
like Idaho, like which was shaped like an L. But
you could put it as the yell and people like, oh,
your home is Idaho. That's where a home is? All right?
(48:25):
Who had Justin Jefferson? That was Bo Benson? All right,
I'm the last one and I and this is Max Crosby,
all right? Who had Max Crosby that would have been mine?
All right? By the way, very good handwriting, Chris Purfet.
I almost thought it was Manzi's. It was so good,
I think did you write, Oh, I love your handwriting.
(48:51):
Good job, very very good, Bo Benson. Max Crosby, Well,
Chris wanted to give Justin Jefferson a new team. I'm
just gonna give him a new head coach. I think
that it is one and done with Pete Carroll. I
think that Max Crosby is the perfect Raider, Like even
the tattoos look good in the outfit, so putting him
(49:11):
somewhere else just doesn't fit. And honestly, the Raiders, the
Raiders need that player. They need a Raider player that
is only Raiders that growing up, there were always Raider
players that you knew of and those have now come
fewer and far between. So I don't want Max Crosby
to go anywhere. I want him to see it through
(49:32):
and it may be a long climb, but I just
think that they need another change in Las Vegas, and
hopefully then that coaching change will get it right, because
the Pete Carroll era just is not working. I don't
think that Pete Carroll is in it for the long haul,
so I would say a new head coach for Max Crosby.
Speaker 4 (49:51):
I agree, and I hope he sees it the same
way like he is Raiders.
Speaker 6 (49:55):
Yes, and there's not many teams who have a player
like that, right, like a player who is the identity
of the team, and he is that.
Speaker 4 (50:02):
So I hope he agrees with you and that he doesn't.
Speaker 6 (50:04):
He doesn't seem like he wants out. He kind of
just knows that this is this is where I'm at,
this is home, so you can get him a home sign.
Speaker 4 (50:11):
I wrote this.
Speaker 2 (50:12):
I wrote this down because I heard I heard his
quote earlier today someone I think asked him about you know,
because the Raidiers are basically playing for the first overall
pick yeah against the Giants here this weekend, and he
just gave such a Raider answers like I don't give up,
yeah about all of that and just everything about that.
By the way, that's it's gonna go hard. Biggest misconception
(50:34):
in sports. If you hear anybody.
Speaker 1 (50:36):
At a at a party, at a get together, at
a game, or on any platform of sports discussion whether
it be a podcast show like this, whatever. When they
say you should take the two worst teams and play
for the first number one overall pick, it's such a
dumb idea because not one player on those teams cares
(51:01):
if that team gets the number one overall pick, right,
it doesn't. In fact, there are teams that don't want
their players their team to have the number one overall
pick or a top pick because it could mean them
losing their job because of the player that would be
drafted in It is the biggest misconception that current players
on teams care about where their team drafts. They're the
(51:22):
only people that don't. Fans, do gms, do scouts, do coaches? Do?
Everybody cares except players on that team. So to play
a game for a number one pick in the NBA
or in the NFL or whatever is just the dumbest
idea that there is.
Speaker 4 (51:38):
Yeah, it's hard to it's it's hard to kind of
pick your picture yourself being on a team. But you're right,
even if you're on the practice squad. It's like, I
don't want anybody coming in here.
Speaker 1 (51:48):
Who cares? I don't want Yeah, why do I care?
What do I care?
Speaker 6 (51:51):
It's and yeah, you're not even just the stars, the
ones that are like fringe players, the starters, they're the
ones who really don't want this.
Speaker 1 (51:57):
So it's like, yeah, sure, ask you know, Smith on
who you want if he wants his team to get
the number on No, then they end up taking a
quarterback and then guess what, Gino Smith's out of a
job just for that example. Yeah, there it is our
secret Santa to those in need job. Yes, very well done,
