Coming up, Cousin talent, I'm going to talk about Tom Brady taking the Patriots once again to the championship game in his conference. So it's he's on the

0:09.2

pucks. Oh, well, we're going to talk about everything else. It's all next. We're also brought to you by the ringer.com and the ringer podcast network.

0:18.2

New rewatch was coming Monday night. First blood was sliced alone. Yeah. The first great modern action movie. We're going to explain why it's

0:25.3

me and Brian Coppeman. That's coming Monday night. Come on. A little bit of an action movie run here in the rewatch. Well, stay tuned for that.

0:33.4

Coming up.

0:36.2

Round two. It was a ventful first.

0:39.3

Pearl Jam. All right. Sunday night tapiness a little bit earlier than usual. It's only 7.19 from 7.00

1:04.7

time. So usually we're taping like 845. We bought ourselves 90 minutes here. I'm glad I'm exhausted. I'm we sure just taped after that chief's game. I was almost dead. Then I can't take it.

1:15.8

Let's talk about that game first. That was not only the game of the day. It was one of the gamy moments of the decade. The decades pretty early.

1:25.3

I don't know what it's called. It's either the Mahomes concussion game or the Chad Henning game. It's clearly something. It was a roller coaster ride and for the people that

1:32.9

were missing home. Everybody and their brother had the chiefs in some sort of parlay or teas or something. And they're up five. And well, I'm sorry to interrupt you, but especially since it went down to like 7.7.5.

1:48.9

On Fandall, right? It was 10 all week went down to 7.5. They have alignment out. Clided words a lair who the hell cares not playing. And then you do you have the license to tease it to down to 1.5 or 2 or whatever it is. So go on. I'm sorry.

2:02.5

I had a 7.8 with the Packers. I had a Packers bills chiefs parlay. I had chiefs bucks in a thing. I like everybody else. I had the chiefs and everything. You just sprinkle them in. It's the old sour method. I think I've had it for the last three years. Somehow I had this game on a teaser to finish out a teaser. But yeah. And we talked about.

2:23.6

But Fandall had like Packers to beat the chiefs in the Super Bowl or the chiefs to beat the Packers. There were great odds on that. I just had everywhere and really just a stroke watching that game.

2:35.0

Well, so you get the gift of all time in the second quarter where Higgins is about to score. And the he fumbles it out of the end zone. It was the worst moment by a brown about to go in the end zone.

2:47.8

In the history of the br- oh, no, wait, it was sorry. Sorry, sorry, Brownsman. Very, very brownish. Very browns.

2:54.6

Yeah. So they basically give back seven points. So when that happens, you think like, well, you do that against the chiefs are dead. 19 to three. Start the second half. I missed this. I was peeing. Come back and the chiefs are sober. And they've gotten a pick. And now they're inside the 20. They're up 16. The games over. This is it. It's like how many points of the goal instead of a touchdown there.

3:14.8

Yeah, still 19 to three. Alright, two scores. If you get the two point of emergency, but it's not happening. Well, they then they missed the field goal. So now it's 19 to three. Right. And you're like, wait a second. And then fast forward to third and short. You never text about this. We're fighting about it. My homes was already hurt. He was limping around. He looked unhappy. He either had a planner for Cytus or broken big toe. I don't know what was going on. But he's clearly compromised. So third and short. They do this weird rollout play with them.

3:44.6

That is basically designed to get him hit if he keeps it. Yeah. And and he's down and he's woozy. And the announcers fall into that awkward thing where it's like that dude's can cost, but nobody can say it. And Nancy's like, whoa, he doesn't know where he is. And it's it's just so awkward right now in the concussion.

4:01.6

Yeah, and you and the thing is, well, now Jay Glazer after the game here after this game was saying that he's in concussion protocol, but it's just as likely that he was choked out. If you watch, it was like a dirty play. And so now we're now we got some MMA stuff going. And just as he was about to get to his, it did look like he was kind of put out like choked out as much as it was concussion.

4:24.6

Because if you watch the hit wasn't helmet to helmet, maybe was helmet to cold ground. That could have been it. But to say that he was choked out my god, that is something different and would, would help us cause for playing next week, which we all know is playing next.

4:38.6

So so it was almost like whiplash. Because it seemed like his head actually hit anything. But you know, as you said, it was such a, it was such kind of a dirty play, which of course they didn't legislate even though they called 15 touchy, whatever's.
