We actually were not going to be filming today, but since I won Chris won the Hall of Champions, brianna won we had to do a show.
00:00:34.308 --> 00:00:35.770
Man, we had to do it.
00:00:36.970 --> 00:00:37.570
It feels great.
00:00:37.570 --> 00:00:39.472
You wanted to have a show, just to beat up on me.
00:00:39.652 --> 00:00:43.054
Yeah, basically, oh, no, this is revenge for the Lamar show guys.
00:00:43.115 --> 00:00:47.697
I'm just like y'all know, because they was terrible, that's kind of some aura though.
00:00:47.777 --> 00:00:49.598
I'm not going to lie.
00:00:50.060 --> 00:00:51.142
I kind of gained some aura.
00:00:51.142 --> 00:00:54.546
Yes, yes, well, man, happy to be here.
00:00:54.546 --> 00:00:57.292
This is the sports show that gets you talking.
00:00:57.292 --> 00:00:59.655
So, sports show that gets you talking, I'm happy to be here.
00:00:59.655 --> 00:01:06.102
We have a fire show for you today.
00:01:06.102 --> 00:01:07.870
We're going to talk about the Super Bowl, of course, super Bowl 59.
00:01:07.870 --> 00:01:09.096
We're going to talk about the Eagles, saquon.
00:01:09.096 --> 00:01:09.879
We're going to talk about that defense.
00:01:09.879 --> 00:01:16.332
We're going to talk about the hangover of the Chiefs halftime performance, the big NBA trades.
00:01:16.332 --> 00:01:18.543
We're going to talk about Super Bowl 60.
00:01:18.543 --> 00:01:22.093
Yes, way too early, but we have to talk about Super Bowl 60.
00:01:22.093 --> 00:01:24.186
We have a ton to get into.
00:01:24.186 --> 00:01:25.170
How are you guys doing?
00:01:25.170 --> 00:01:26.445
How are you doing Diego?
00:01:26.980 --> 00:01:33.746
I mean, you know, I got humbled a little bit because I don't know how to lose, so I've been humbled a little bit.
00:01:33.746 --> 00:01:35.046
It makes me a better picker.
00:01:35.046 --> 00:01:36.805
You know, sometimes when you lose you win.
00:01:36.805 --> 00:01:41.790
You know, this makes me a better picker going forward, you know Okay okay, I've never heard of.
00:01:41.911 --> 00:01:44.052
sometimes when you lose, have you heard of that, chris?
00:01:44.132 --> 00:01:44.993
Sometimes you lose.
00:01:44.993 --> 00:01:49.076
I mean, when Giannis said it a couple years ago, it was just like oh, it's just a game, I'm basically Giannis.
00:01:51.543 --> 00:01:59.242
Okay, that sounds like a loser statement to me, that's what that sounds like to me, oh man.
00:01:59.343 --> 00:02:00.665
Well, let's get right into it.
00:02:00.665 --> 00:02:02.510
Let's not delay Diego.
00:02:02.510 --> 00:02:07.141
We got to get into this, right into it.
00:02:07.141 --> 00:02:08.143
Let's not delay diego, we got to get into this, uh.
00:02:08.143 --> 00:02:08.604
So let's talk about, uh.
00:02:08.625 --> 00:02:09.747
Last week we had a phenomenal show at kings.
00:02:09.747 --> 00:02:11.151
Thank you all for coming out.
00:02:11.151 --> 00:02:13.075
That was just a great show.
00:02:13.075 --> 00:02:13.437
Man.
00:02:13.437 --> 00:02:14.902
You all represented brianna.
00:02:14.902 --> 00:02:15.765
It was great to have her.
00:02:15.765 --> 00:02:17.109
She'll be on with us in a minute.
00:02:17.109 --> 00:02:26.552
But, uh, thanks to marquise williams, former unc quarterback tavaris, jordan chuck, global um justice mitchell, everyone, tennessee quarterback Tavares, jordan Chuck, global Justice Mitchell, everyone that came out and made that show special.
00:02:26.552 --> 00:02:32.927
We sold out, the food was great, great reviews, and it looks like that's going to be the new normal.
00:02:32.927 --> 00:02:37.692
As we go, we're going to expand and move on to that format, starting in April.
00:02:37.692 --> 00:02:43.122
So March is probably going to be the last time you can see us for free in Kings, starting in April.
00:02:43.122 --> 00:02:48.824
It looks like we're going to move to that format and be in the back, so that's going to be the new way that we're going to do it.
00:02:48.824 --> 00:02:50.562
So, breaking news on that.
00:02:50.562 --> 00:02:53.104
But, yeah, this is the mob squad here.
00:02:53.104 --> 00:02:54.068
I love this photo.
00:02:54.068 --> 00:02:58.048
Got every, got us mean mugging and again it was so great.
00:02:58.048 --> 00:03:02.621
Brie made the trip down from Arizona so that we had just a phenomenal time.
00:03:02.621 --> 00:03:07.306
So shout out to everyone that made that night special, as it was very special.
00:03:07.306 --> 00:03:09.979
So thank you very, very much, all right.
00:03:10.500 --> 00:03:14.068
Well, let's get into Philadelphia Eagles.
00:03:14.068 --> 00:03:15.866
Let's start off here.
00:03:15.866 --> 00:03:18.562
They are the champs, so we're not going to start with the Chiefs.
00:03:18.562 --> 00:03:20.168
Okay, that's the fun part.
00:03:20.168 --> 00:03:21.781
So, diego, we're not going to beat up on you yet.
00:03:21.781 --> 00:03:23.201
We're going to beat up on you in a minute.
00:03:23.201 --> 00:03:25.985
We're going to make you wait a little bit before we beat up on you.
00:03:25.985 --> 00:03:27.906
We're going to talk about the Philadelphia Eagles first.
00:03:27.906 --> 00:03:30.807
Saquon Barkley had an amazing season.
00:03:30.807 --> 00:03:33.591
He broke 2,000.
00:03:33.591 --> 00:03:41.597
Could have had the all-time Russian record, was amazing in the divisional round, was amazing in the conference championship.
00:03:41.597 --> 00:03:48.323
Super Bowl Not so much, but he did his job.
00:03:48.323 --> 00:03:49.466
He was the decoy and the eagles had a blowout win.
00:03:49.466 --> 00:03:58.429
But where does this season stack amongst the all-time greats here, with uh running backs, what would I think this is definitely the best running back season ever.
00:03:59.069 --> 00:04:01.663
I mean, he had the 2000 in the regular season.
00:04:01.663 --> 00:04:03.389
Could have got the record.
00:04:03.389 --> 00:04:05.312
That would have been the extra game, but still, even if he got that would have been a great accomplishment.
00:04:05.312 --> 00:04:05.594
And then went crazy in the regular season.
00:04:05.594 --> 00:04:07.592
Could have got the record, that would have been the extra game, but still, even if he got it, that would have been a great accomplishment.
00:04:07.592 --> 00:04:11.225
And then went crazy in the playoffs and got the Super Bowl.
00:04:11.225 --> 00:04:17.144
Yeah, I just think if you combine regular season and playoffs together, that's definitely the greatest season.
00:04:17.586 --> 00:04:20.829
Okay, what do you say?
00:04:20.889 --> 00:04:21.310
C-Pain.
00:04:21.310 --> 00:04:28.987
I agree and I feel like the inevitability of a Saquon breakaway run this season felt like what Steph Curry back in 2016,.
00:04:28.987 --> 00:04:36.011
Anytime there was a deep three, it was just like, oh, this is crazy, it's going to shift the momentum and it's going to definitely lead this team to a win.
00:04:36.011 --> 00:04:43.528
And I do think that, regardless of how his Super Bowl performance may have been, that offensive line, he got him there.
00:04:43.528 --> 00:04:46.723
He was the main engine, the main vehicle.
00:04:46.723 --> 00:04:53.206
And then, you know, there's a guy who showed up and you know might be one of the better quarterbacks in the nfl, but he still doubted.
00:04:53.206 --> 00:04:56.153
So we're gonna, we're gonna see talk about that too.
00:04:56.581 --> 00:04:57.483
Okay, all right.
00:04:57.483 --> 00:05:04.463
Well, you guys are young bucks so you don't quite have the history that I have on this, but he had a nice season.
00:05:04.463 --> 00:05:08.392
Okay, but that was not the best running back season.
00:05:08.500 --> 00:05:09.142
What was the best?
00:05:09.182 --> 00:05:13.430
running back Best running back season was Terrell Davis with the Denver Broncos.
00:05:13.961 --> 00:05:14.644
Did he break the?
00:05:14.644 --> 00:05:15.747
Did he break any records?
00:05:16.521 --> 00:05:21.069
Well, yes, so he had back-to-back Superbowl winning seasons.
00:05:21.069 --> 00:05:28.622
Okay, he, the first year homeboy, ran for 157 yards and got three touchdowns in the super bowl.
00:05:29.225 --> 00:05:33.579
Okay but that's one game, that's not the whole year, that is true, okay.
00:05:34.100 --> 00:05:37.889
But those playoffs he got 468 yards through those playoffs.
00:05:37.889 --> 00:05:42.182
Then the following year okay, which is the year one year can I finish?
00:05:42.182 --> 00:05:46.411
I bet the next year was the year that I will put up against Saquon.
00:05:46.411 --> 00:05:51.165
98 season Ran for 2,008 yards Okay, check.
00:05:51.165 --> 00:05:59.759
And in the Super Bowl he ran for over 100 yards on 20-some carries Okay, so still had the 2,000.
00:05:59.759 --> 00:06:12.175
And that year before, when he had the 157 yards and three touchdowns, he was a Super Bowl MVP, was the last running back to win Super Bowl MVP, so it was a beast, so I would have to put his.
00:06:12.175 --> 00:06:13.036
I'll go ahead.
00:06:13.036 --> 00:06:15.300
You can really pick either one.
00:06:15.300 --> 00:06:27.596
I'm going to go ahead and pick the 98 season, when he rushed for over 100 and got a run for over 100 yards and then ran for over 2000,000 yards that season and won back-to-back Super Bowls.
00:06:27.596 --> 00:06:30.750
I'm going to put Terrell Davis this season over Saquon Barkley.
00:06:31.040 --> 00:06:31.300
All right.
00:06:31.300 --> 00:06:32.846
Well, this is a one-year, okay.
00:06:32.846 --> 00:06:35.185
It's great Good for him that he won back-to-back.
00:06:35.185 --> 00:06:36.846
This is just a one-year thing, okay.
00:06:36.846 --> 00:06:39.908
So he played well in the Super Bowl.
00:06:39.908 --> 00:06:41.440
Congrats for him, good job.
00:06:41.440 --> 00:06:47.545
Yeah, he still ran for over 2,000 yards he did, but Saquon could have got the record though, but he sat out the game.
00:06:47.680 --> 00:06:50.509
Well, yeah, Saquon could have got the record with the 17th game.
00:06:50.959 --> 00:06:55.033
Yeah, but Saquon had more regular season rushing yards.
00:06:55.300 --> 00:06:58.230
His 16 games he got over 2,000 yards.
00:06:58.230 --> 00:07:15.887
Saquon got over 2,000 yards his 16 games and got over 100 yards in the Super Bowl and they were keying on him because he just came off of 157 yard three touchdown performance in the Super Bowl before and still got over 100 yards with them keying on him.
00:07:15.887 --> 00:07:19.745
But that's okay, that's why we have the generations here.
00:07:19.745 --> 00:07:21.685
I get to school, you it's all right.
00:07:21.685 --> 00:07:31.031
He might have cooked Cooked a little bit Cooked a little bit cooked a little bit, all right, okay.
00:07:31.333 --> 00:07:32.916
Well, let's move on, man, let's move on.
00:07:32.916 --> 00:07:35.081
We're going to continue with this topic of the eagles.
00:07:35.081 --> 00:07:37.947
Let's move on to that defense, all right.
00:07:37.947 --> 00:07:41.281
So with the defense, we have a vic fangio's d.
00:07:41.281 --> 00:07:45.449
They played uh phenomenal, uh shut the um.
00:07:45.449 --> 00:07:47.353
They totally shut the Chiefs down.
00:07:47.353 --> 00:07:48.524
Nobody expected that.
00:07:48.524 --> 00:07:55.771
Okay, but where does this defense rank in the last, we'll say the last 10 years or so, with Super Bowls?
00:07:55.771 --> 00:07:58.788
How would you stack this defense up?
00:07:59.641 --> 00:08:06.262
I think it's definitely up there, definitely, because I mean the second half, I don't really count that because that was really garbage time, yeah, but yeah, if you look the second half, I don't really count that because that was really garbage time.
00:08:06.262 --> 00:08:16.827
If you look at the first half, this is definitely up there with the Patriots' performance in 2018, how they shut down the high-powered Rams offense to only three points.
00:08:16.827 --> 00:08:21.108
The Bucs shut down Mahomes and Kelsey.
00:08:22.639 --> 00:08:22.839
Super.
00:08:22.788 --> 00:08:23.427
Bowl 55.
00:08:23.377 --> 00:08:23.880
I hate to say this last one, but the Broncos.
00:08:23.829 --> 00:08:24.916
Mahomes and Kelsey yeah, super Bowl 55.
00:08:24.916 --> 00:08:25.262
That was a good one.
00:08:25.211 --> 00:08:27.754
Yes, yes, good, I hate to say this last one, but the Broncos.
00:08:27.795 --> 00:08:31.547
Yeah, I didn't know if you were going to say that one Shut down Cam and the Panthers, yep.
00:08:31.824 --> 00:08:32.659
That was the last 10 years.
00:08:32.659 --> 00:08:33.783
I think that's up there with those.
00:08:33.803 --> 00:08:34.085
Yep.
00:08:34.145 --> 00:08:37.142
That was a good one, definitely top five, for sure.
00:08:37.282 --> 00:08:48.432
Yeah, I was going to say this performance and the Broncos' decimation of our Carolina Panthers, yeah, yeah, that was demoralizing.
00:08:48.432 --> 00:08:53.317
Like I know that everybody like is like Chiefs fans were like destitute after that.
00:08:53.317 --> 00:09:09.389
But nah, that Broncos game, because literally we saw Vaughn Miller just completely take over and obliterate our team and like the whole season we'd seen our team put up 30 points or like and like, with no worry or no stress at all.
00:09:09.389 --> 00:09:10.854
They're just seeing our offense, just not do anything.
00:09:10.874 --> 00:09:21.222
That was just terrible, yeah that was uh man, rough man but but great historical reference for from both you guys, so I would say that was up there again.
00:09:21.222 --> 00:09:24.590
I was going to mention the 15 uh broncos.
00:09:24.590 --> 00:09:27.383
You have the 18 patriots, so you definitely mentioned those.
00:09:27.383 --> 00:09:41.985
You also have the, the seahawks, the legion of boom, but that was right before, so it is not quite 10 years so you can't count them, but they were so close, but that I put that legion of doom.
00:09:42.005 --> 00:09:43.749
Yeah, but they yeah but they weren't there.
00:09:43.788 --> 00:09:50.951
Then, if you want to go totally historic, you know, the oh two bucks when they beat the raiders, that was one of the best ones.
00:09:50.951 --> 00:09:54.660
The 2000 ravens that was all that was.
00:09:54.660 --> 00:09:55.964
That was amazing that one.
00:09:55.964 --> 00:10:02.846
And then, of course, the 85 bears, you know, I mean 85 bears, um, and I think one of the the giants thing was 90.
00:10:02.846 --> 00:10:05.011
The 90 Giants was pretty, pretty good.
00:10:05.011 --> 00:10:09.392
So yeah, historically those are some of the best, best of all time there.
00:10:09.392 --> 00:10:15.033
But we'll see what they do, what they do next year, because they were good this year.
00:10:15.033 --> 00:10:20.732
But the office, I feel like the offensive line was the dominant, dominant force of the Eagles.
00:10:22.202 --> 00:10:25.070
So they, they, their defense, their defense showed up at the right time.
00:10:25.070 --> 00:10:27.544
Their DBs played really well.
00:10:27.544 --> 00:10:29.090
Lots of credit to those guys.
00:10:31.283 --> 00:10:32.623
We're going to stick with the Eagles.
00:10:32.623 --> 00:10:34.149
We've got one more Eagle topic.
00:10:34.149 --> 00:10:35.605
We're going to stick with the Eagles.
00:10:35.605 --> 00:10:40.708
Right now, however, we are going to hey, what's up, johnny, what's up, my man.
00:10:40.708 --> 00:10:50.729
We are going to bring on Brianna to talk about Jalen Hurts and if he is a top five quarterback, so we're all going to talk about this, but Brianna's got to come on in.
00:10:50.729 --> 00:10:51.451
What's up?
00:10:51.471 --> 00:10:51.851
Bri.
00:10:52.033 --> 00:10:55.240
Hi, hey, hey, hey, how you doing, hey.
00:10:55.240 --> 00:10:59.792
So now that we have Brianna, I think we can take a champion's pick.
00:10:59.792 --> 00:11:03.923
So this is a tradition on Pick'em Pros we have a championship pick.
00:11:03.923 --> 00:11:06.010
So, chris, let's all smile for the cameras.
00:11:06.010 --> 00:11:08.846
Diego, you can just meme up, we'll all cheese.
00:11:08.846 --> 00:11:10.291
Yeah, okay, there we go.
00:11:10.291 --> 00:11:13.951
Yeah, look at this.
00:11:14.299 --> 00:11:18.168
Yeah, he's canceling us on this one.
00:11:18.568 --> 00:11:19.291
That's right.
00:11:19.291 --> 00:11:20.452
Championship pick.
00:11:20.452 --> 00:11:21.885
So put that in the books.
00:11:21.885 --> 00:11:23.504
Beautiful championship pick.
00:11:23.504 --> 00:11:25.381
Thank you, bree for that, all right pick.
00:11:25.381 --> 00:11:25.984
So put that in the books.
00:11:25.984 --> 00:11:26.565
Beautiful championship pick.
00:11:26.565 --> 00:11:27.447
Thank you, brie for that, all right.
00:11:27.447 --> 00:11:32.504
So, uh, hey, before we go into this topic, though, I have to acknowledge you, you know, being the sports correspondent.
00:11:32.504 --> 00:11:36.883
You've had some fire interviews here lately that are going to be coming out later.
00:11:36.883 --> 00:11:42.785
You want to name drop any any of those just yet, or you want you want to hold off what you think.
00:11:42.806 --> 00:11:44.355
I think we should wait.
00:11:44.556 --> 00:11:45.379
I think we should wait.
00:11:45.379 --> 00:11:50.110
Yeah, okay, okay all right to it okay, all right, we're gonna build the suspense.
00:11:50.110 --> 00:11:52.341
So big time, folks we've been talking.
00:11:52.361 --> 00:11:53.725
Just no, they're really good guys.
00:11:54.105 --> 00:11:56.190
Yes, really good, I love it.
00:11:56.190 --> 00:11:56.691
I love it.
00:11:56.691 --> 00:12:01.725
Okay, so let's get into jalen hurts diego.
00:12:01.725 --> 00:12:03.509
Is he a five quarterback?
00:12:04.071 --> 00:12:06.495
I wouldn't say he's a top five quarterback just yet.
00:12:06.495 --> 00:12:11.509
I'd have him at six, but ahead of him I'd have Mahomes at one, of course.
00:12:11.509 --> 00:12:13.827
Then number two, I'd have Joe Burrow.
00:12:13.827 --> 00:12:21.267
I mean, he took that team with the NOLO lines at Super Bowl and beat Mahomes in the AFC Championship game, and all the great things he's done.
00:12:21.267 --> 00:12:23.624
Josh Allen, mvp, at number three.
00:12:24.306 --> 00:12:29.258
Lamar at all the great things he's done josh allen, mvp at number three, lamar, number four and then stafford.
00:12:29.258 --> 00:12:34.024
That's what I'd have ahead of you.
00:12:34.024 --> 00:12:34.465
Yeah, stafford at six.
00:12:34.465 --> 00:12:37.638
Oh, staff was like stafford, but you have hertz at six, so he doesn't make the top five, but you have him right there at six.
00:12:37.638 --> 00:12:39.522
Okay, all right, how about you c pain?
00:12:39.721 --> 00:13:05.166
yeah, I have jalen hertz as a top five quarterback and to me personally, I think that his argument is, if we're going by the modern NFL fan take of winning and winning mattering, because again, lamar Jackson and Josh Allen are both talked about negatively because they haven't reached a super bowl or they and you know me, I clown Josh Allen for losing better to my homes, and I also am very honest about Lamar, you know, disappearing in the playoffs.
00:13:05.166 --> 00:13:07.424
But again, I will stay next year.
00:13:07.445 --> 00:13:14.344
It's easy for you to say that now we've all seen next year no, we ain't bringing that back anyway.
00:13:15.044 --> 00:13:33.865
I think that I think that jalen has proven I mean, won two nfc championships and literally this year wins the super bowl in dominant fashion, wins super bowl mvp on top of the fact that, like, even in the last super bowl, he possibly could have won super bowl mvp if he doesn't have that god awful fumble.
00:13:33.865 --> 00:13:39.264
So I think that he's definitely proven that he is a top five quarterback in the league.
00:13:39.264 --> 00:13:46.322
I saw a crazy tweet that said 18 quarterbacks can do what he did with this team and I'm like, well, tell them to do it, please.
00:13:46.322 --> 00:13:50.573
Just like, like, let's see 18 guys do what he did.
00:13:50.573 --> 00:13:57.581
I just I really want to see it because realistically it, since my homes has been in the league and since jaylen hurts in the league, there's only been four dudes.
00:13:57.581 --> 00:13:59.186
So I don't think that.
00:13:59.186 --> 00:14:01.611
I think that that's that's not a great take.
00:14:01.812 --> 00:14:06.190
I don't know I think bryce young going to Super Bowl with that team, I think.
00:14:07.660 --> 00:14:09.866
Of course you think that.
00:14:11.390 --> 00:14:15.046
Yeah, you know, I'd like to see that list of 18 quarterbacks.
00:14:15.046 --> 00:14:17.461
I don't know if I disagree with that.
00:14:17.783 --> 00:14:18.384
I have to see.
00:14:18.384 --> 00:14:19.505
Maybe you put Russell Wilson in there.
00:14:19.505 --> 00:14:20.287
Okay, there's only 16.
00:14:20.567 --> 00:14:24.835
Russell All right, all right bro.
00:14:24.835 --> 00:14:31.883
All russ all right, all right, all right, all right, cut it out.
00:14:31.883 --> 00:14:31.982
Cut it out.
00:14:31.982 --> 00:14:32.764
That's, that's ridiculous.
00:14:32.697 --> 00:14:39.253
I'm gonna start talking about just the field soon, and then I'm just gonna have to leave the same, because this is crazy oh man, okay, so what?
00:14:39.253 --> 00:14:39.812
What about you?
00:14:39.812 --> 00:14:42.701
Brie is is jalen hurts a top five quarterback?
