Man it works so well because Reid drafted Jason in Philly, Pederson coached both Jason and Travis at one time etc....They have a lot of overlap in their careers people wise.

I found their discussion about media talking heads pretty enlightening. Don't play like shit and they wont talk shit.

Yeah, Jason's "You set the narrative" thing was great to hear. He's not wrong. Yeah, sometimes guys go too far and are too critical, but there's always a kernel of truth in there.

Heh. Yeah, exceptions exist. The hot take factories will always be out there spewing nonsense, but on the whole, he's pretty right.

Yeah there's some guys out there like Bayless that spew nonsense all the time to generate ratings. But he's not probably talking about them anyway.

By and large, the good analysts will talk about you based on how good or bad you've played. Simple as that.

Even the bomb throwers don't make shit up out of whole cloth.

They'll find something legitimate and then embellish it. But even Bayless can't find a way to argue that Patrick Mahomes is a bad quarterback or Travis Kelce can't play anymore.

Love this, it will be a weekly listen.

Great podcast. I have watched 3 episodes. Jason is such a cool dude. The type of dude you meet at a bar, have a drink with and talk about sports and just life in general.
Him and Travis have very good chemistry, too.

I think this is my favorite podcast, and I listen to a shitload of podcasts. We'll see how it ages, but it's firing 100MPH.

The interesting football stuff from this one was Kelce liking the London game. I thought the players didn't like it. Also interestingly he thought it "broke up" their weeks. I'm guessing this is why this team comes out flat and lays eggs sometimes, they need to be juiced up or something. IDK. Just wasn't what I was expecting from that conversation.

Also it was kind of not what I expected about the Lamar conversation. After playing with Mahomes, it would be hard for me to say Lamar is one of the best QBs in the league. He's apparently friends with Andrews who he feeds, but Lamar makes a SHITLOAD of bad throws and I'm sure Kelce has to know it. He's never going to come out and be like this dude is a RB like CP does, but he came in hot with praise.

It was also interesting his comments on getting money and betting on yourself. The comments aren't surprising in a vacuum, but he definitely did not do that in his career. He has been pretty goddamned reasonable the whole ****ing time. I'm sure he's fine and all, but it was an interesting comment.

The Bengals essentially gave Jackson anything downfield he wanted to take a shot at and he missed probably a half-dozen downfield shots.

To his credit, he's become better at intermediate routes, but teams are going to dare him to beat them deep and there are simply going to be games where he doesn't have it - it happens to better throwers than Lamar Jackson.

And at some point it will happen in the post-season. He tried desperately to give that game against the Bengals away but Cincy's O-Line wasn't having it. If you have a team that simply doesn't have a fundamental, fatal flaw, they're going to smoke Baltimore in weeks like last week.

I wonder if they'll get any backlash from the comments about white people not being corners. How, if there was a white corner, they'd target them all day long. And calling them a highlighter. Don't get me wrong, I laughed. I could just see those who are easily offended taking issue with it.

Is there a single white corner in the NFL? I'm thinking no, but I could be wrong.

They're white themselves so I'd hope it doesn't get blown out of proportion.

I think the bigger issue is them saying playing CB is "something white people can't do". Not that I personally think it's an issue, but I can imagine some crybabies keying on that aspect of the conversation.

"Well, imagine if someone said a black person couldn't do something!"

Right but if, in a sport with plenty of white guys, not a single team has decided that white guy can play corner, isn't it a reasonable conclusion that white guys aren't capable of playing the position?

This just seems like fishing for something to get angry about.
