Ten takes. You made it. Let's ride. You know the deal. I don't need to set the table let's just get the hell

into it start the clock take number one the lions are not just talented they're really tough

ridiculous win they had on sunday nights we know that their roster's great and they've done a great

job building it they got these running backs and the o line and the receivers and D-line. That's fine. The win over the Texans was about emotional toughness. There's a thing that happens when you throw three picks, four picks, certainly five interceptions like golf did, where you just say, it's not our day. It's not our night. Let's just take the loss it's fine we're still have good

record we can still go home and figure this thing out you get on the plane you go home you say oh well

they don't say that and most teams do and you know you go back to that immortal dan campbell

opening press conference when he's saying the biting kneecaps and stuff and everyone makes

fun of it it's a pretty stale thing to refer to because it's just been around for years. And then you see them last night and you really think about what he was talking about. His whole deal with the biting the kneecaps was you're going to have to kill us to beat us. That's my vision for this team. And we're going to keep fighting no matter what. And then you watch them on Sunday night It's like, damn, they're biting kneecaps. You have to kill these guys to beat them. It's really, really incredible. They have some flaws. It's fine. Every team does. But just looking at what the lions have going on right now, they still had four sacks without Aidan Hutchinson. They're still my pick to win the damn Super Bowl. I still think they're going to do it. You know, Jared Gough, do you get rattled to you throw that many picks? No. You know what he's been through in this league? He played one of the worst Super Bowls in the history of the sport and he's still standing here as one of the coolest guys in the league. He's in a lot worse than throwing a bunch of picks against the Texans. He doesn't give a damn. It's not just that he's good. He's talented. Just emotionally tough. I love that Lions win last night. Take number two, this is my favorite chiefs team of the Mahomes era. I drew a lot of ire this morning on social media when I said they're the most likable chiefs team of the Mahomes era. and and everyone was so mad about it. One, because they think I'm talking about off the field stuff and I'm not at all. I'm talking about the product on the field. Two, because a lot of people hate the chiefs. Three, because they think the officials help them and all that stuff. I really am fascinated by this chief team. And I'll tell you why. I understood when they had Tyreek and a

younger Kelsey and all those crazy weapons. And Mahomes isn't really necessarily on everybody's

radar the way he is now when they're just lighting up the skies and they're amazing. I understood

why they were winning those games. I understood why it was shock and awe, just fast and furious,

seek and destroy.

This team is so boring, so ugly, so sloppy, and they still win.

That's entertaining to me, because I don't know how they're doing it.

Do you know how the chiefs who are 9-0?

Do you know who their leading receiver is?

It's Travis Kelsey, still in year. He's allegedly not himself.

Do you know who their second leading receiver is for a 9-0 team?

Rishie Rice, who has been out for weeks.
