They need someone to dial this in. I am in.

It was better when I watched it on Youtube. They have a good show.

2 more 100 yard games and he ties Gronk
He is such a stud

Listened to it. I'll listen again. Not bad so far. I wonder what they'll talk about to keep it going, but they've got my attention for now.

Only needs 159 yards too to pass Gronk in all time receiving yards

**** yeah! sorry thread drift

Travis is pissed.

It's good to see these guys express how they really feel instead of the measured answers they give reporters.

LMAO

Well, Travis, you could have saved us the grief by catching that 3rd and 7 in the red zone or the TD in the 4th quarter.

I'll give him a pass for not converting the 3rd down on the second or third series. That was just a great tackle by Gilmore.

But a player of his caliber has to catch one of the other two.

That one is on Patrick.

MVS was open on a similar out cut, over the top of Kelce. Mahomes could have chosen either one of them but went with Kelce.

Mahomes put it on Kelce hard, and Kelce had to make a twisting catch in the air. It's still a catch Kelce usually makes. But it was a 7 or 8 on degree of difficulty.

Remember when people said Reek wanted out to build his own brand because he wasnt going to be allowed to podcast in KC?

Kelce has only had one 1 concussion? Wow.

Jason went to the wrong sideline? ROFL

That is what frustrates me with Pat. Sometimes I will watch him force it into a tight window to Kelce instead of hitting the guy open by 5 yards.

There is a trust factor there that I think can sometimes hurt them.

Watching that play again, he didn’t trust the OL. In slow mo, you can see the point where MVS’ defender fell down. Kelce was already open and Pat made the quick throw. If he would waited a fraction of second longer, MVS is headed up the sideline for a huge gain.

Updated OP

I wish they wouldve talked about Tua as they brought it up after the first concussion.

I cant believe this doesnt have 10+ pages by now

Yeah im halfway through the current episode. It's great. It's part of my regular rotation now.

This episode was funny as all ****. I laughed hard the whole time.

I love this shit.

The part where Kelce talked about being an all time great was a really good listen. The fact that these guys actually say stuff instead of puking cliches is really good.

Literally the only athlete podcast I listen to.

I'm not really into podcasts, so this is really the only one I follow right now. I've actually learned a lot.

This one had the longest lulls, IMO. The Rudd stuff was a little too disjointed. Some of the earlier parts of it didn't go anywhere either.

But yeah, that Mount Rushmore conversation was great, especially when he's just like "Yeah, I'm on it..."

I did find it interesting that he had Winslow and TG as immediate locks. Gronk as a slow-rolled 3rd was not what I expected.

He went with the 3 I expected him to, but I was surprised that he seemed torn on Gronk as his 3rd.

I laughed the hardest when Jason slid in the, "Thanks for listening to the pod, Andy" after they discussed the QB (TE) sneak.

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

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 enjoyed the Rudd stuff. I laughed for probably 10 minutes at his throw away line "try harder" ROFL.

The best part about Rudd's part is that he REALLY ****ing cares. The stuff about his kid crying and all the stuff about next year and and all that did a couple things; First it effectively articulated the struggle that other teams might not know. Second it showed how much he really cares, which is for us. You hear about celebrity fans and yeah, maybe, but it's good that he actually cares. And it's weird to me - I know less than nothing about the celebity actor life but there aren't many rabid fans. It's good that we have one.

Rudd worked for me.

The I'm on it thing was good. And that's what I keep saying, they're honest. Hell, in a moment of honesty, most players would overrate themselves, but they've all been coached to pretend to be humble. What makes the thing go is that they're not spewing what3ever the PR guy tells them to.

I too was kind of surprised he threw Gonzo up there automatically. Gronk I get, and when he talked about motivating him to make his transition, that was really interesting. As we get older and have watched a million guys roll out to play football, it's easy to forget how impactful certain players can be in formative years.

I also think him talking about being a shithead was insightful. That can't be easy to sit there and talk about, but it was interesting to listen to.

Jason's "c'mon - it wasn't about you going to bars, you go to bars NOW" thing got a chuckle from me.

But I think what I found most interesting was that the switch to TE led him to "a love of the game I never had before..." It just kinda explains why he puts so much into playing his position - he genuinely loves playing TE.

I also thought it was pretty honest of him to say "hey - I liked it because I was good at it. I didn't have Brian Kelly chewing my ass for not throwing the football anymore..."

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.

Yeah, that was pretty interesting stuff.

I'm GUESSING he quit going to the bars in college, but goes with the guys after he matured in the pros.

All those quotes were profoundly interesting. Same with the ones about learning the defense. It shows how he's so good at the finding openings business instead of just running a route like most guys do.

Just tidbits like that are worth the price of admission, and the self-deprecation about being not very good at it helps smooth the rough spots. I'm truly impressed.

Love this, it will be a weekly listen.

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.

Um, Bayless uses any chance he gets to argue Mahomes is overrated...

He's never said he's anything but a good quarterback, though.

While everyone else says Mahomes is, at worst, top 3; Bayless will try to talk him down into the 8 range. Is that insulting...oh sure.

Is it calling him Marcus Mariota? Nah.

Updated OP

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.

He does, but it's all scripted. In reality you have to wonder if Skip believes anything he says. He is taking the opposing side of an argument with Shannon for the drama/ratings.

That said, I'd probably punch Skip in the face if I had to hang out with him.
What a douchebag.

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!"

Eh, **** 'em if they can't take a joke.

It was funny as hell.

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.

I thought Eli Apple was white. ROFL

Just for fun, I did a little digging. Troy Apke is a white safety who was drafted by the Redskins in 2018. They tried to convert him to CB last year, so technically he became the first white CB in the NFL since 2002. Since then, he's been signed, then released, then signed to the PS, then released. He's currently a FA.

So yeah, we went 19 years without a white corner in the NFL, and the streak was broken by a guy who couldn't make the roster of a bottom 5 team. I think it's safe to say that, even if you don't appreciate that they were just joking around, it's 99% factual that white guys are incapable of being NFL CBs.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Troy_A...%205%2C%202022.

I don’t think it is, honestly. I think there’s probably some other factor that plays into the lack of white CBs in the NFL.

Perhaps it’s the bias that white people are not as athletic as black people, sort of similar to the notion that white people are smarter than black people leading to the idea that black people just weren’t smart enough to play QB for decades.

There are tons of fast, athletic white dudes out there playing WR. I’m sure a fair number of them could have been successful CBs in the league.

Hell, Julian Edelman played CB briefly in a pinch and he wasn’t half bad.

Criticizing white people does not create backlash. Whites are fair game.

There are those that do. I laughed, but, in the back of my mind, I'm thinking, "Man, I hope they don't catch flack for that." I have a feeling the type of people that would be offended aren't the type to watch football, let alone listen to a sports podcast. [Look at me stereotyping.]

Man if they catch shit for that take I hope they push back on it.

And you’re right. That was funny as hell. I was losing it in this stupid tractor cab.

Last night I finally watched one of these podcasts. Great stuff, easy to watch/listen to. Looking forward to the next one.

The fact that we all know/remember who Jason Sehorn is is significant as well.

I agree that CB (other than QB) is the toughest position to play.

You are running backwards and sideways against NFL elite receivers and guessing at which way they are going to go. If you are off by 1 yard, these elite QB's are going to fit it in that window. On top of that, the rules say you must make a 180 degree turn in midair to make a play on the ball without contacting the WR or it's a penalty AND you can't face guard.


This is why I give CB's a free pass for the most part as they are setup to fail.

We have something really special in Sneed.

On the aggregate, yeah. But there are different assignments that can make it easier. I’ve seen bad QBs seem pretty good until they get in man Coverage and get ****ing destroyed by scrubs.

Not every CB is on an island.

And you can't touch the receiver beyond 5 yards. And the receiver can commit OPI almost at will (as hollins did Monday night vs. Watson i think), but a DB must avoid bodily contact, and turn his head around before the ball arrives, etc. Dbs are handcuffed before the game even starts.

no surprise kelce has back hair

Jaelen Phillips calling Jason ‘eyebrows’ is ****ing hilarious. It would have been so fun to have Jason on this team pre-Creed

This continues to be my favorite listen. I hope they don’t go super overboard with ad reads but yeah. It’s funny as ****.

“I was NOT expecting a punch in the face.” ROFL

Has today's come out yet? Usually get notified by now.

Oh yeah.

Good as ever.

Nothing on youtube yet.

You can listen to the audio podcast that came out today here...
https://open.spotify.com/episode/7yIhLJ5r1kyyIPYjdu6JEB

I’m off work now till March, so I’ve been watching my normal podcasts on YouTube while working on computer instead of listening to pod while driving. I noticed the podcast was up but not the YouTube. Wonder what’s up with that

Probably a rights thing. All these companies are trying to get their finger in the podcast pie.

I can’t stand how much their microphone volume fluctuates so much.

he did kelce's voice LMAO at 40:20

Travis seems like a cool dude, but he's kind of a ditz sometimes. I feel like there's been about four or five different times he's just like "Wait, what was the question?" or "Did I answer the question? I forgot what you asked." lol

Both of these guys are about who I thought they were. Travis is fashionable, social and never too serious. Jason is a lineman, just worried about the grind, not looks, trends or social hours. Super cool.
