ITALKSPORTS Episode 26 - Super Bowl Recap. UFC 312 Recap

The recent defeat of the Kansas City Chiefs has elicited a profound sense of satisfaction, particularly due to the implications it poses for the formidable Patrick Mahomes in the forthcoming season. While I revel in the Chiefs' loss, I harbor genuine concern regarding an emboldened Mahomes seeking retribution. His performance in the Super Bowl, albeit subpar, underscores his immense potential; thus, we must brace ourselves for a Mahomes who is likely to return with renewed vigor and determination. The prospect of an angry Mahomes embarking on a "revenge tour" next season raises critical questions about the competitive landscape of the league. As we dissect this narrative, we must acknowledge the broader implications for the AFC and the imminent challenges that await all contenders against a presumably revitalized Mahomes-led Chiefs.

The recent conclusion of Super Bowl 59 heralds a moment of profound significance in the realm of professional football, as the Kansas City Chiefs, previously dominant, faced a humbling defeat at the hands of the Philadelphia Eagles. The emotional resonance of this loss reverberates through the fan community, eliciting feelings of elation among rivals and a sense of vindication for those who have long awaited a shift in the competitive landscape of the NFL. As we delve deeper into the ramifications of this outcome, we express a mixture of joy and apprehension. While the defeat of the Chiefs brings a welcome change, it simultaneously raises concerns regarding the potential resurgence of their star quarterback, Patrick Mahomes. The prospect of an emboldened Mahomes, fueled by the bitterness of this loss, poses a significant challenge for the upcoming season. We reflect on the possibility of a 'revenge tour' as he seeks to reclaim his status and lead his team back to the Super Bowl, ensuring that the competitive nature of the league remains as fierce as ever.

Takeaways:

  • The recent defeat of the Kansas City Chiefs has sparked a multitude of emotions, particularly joy, yet it simultaneously raises concerns regarding the potential wrath of Patrick Mahomes in the upcoming season.
  • The Chiefs' loss in the Super Bowl signifies not merely a defeat but the emergence of a new champion, which has invigorated the competition within the league.
  • As the Kansas City Chiefs regroup and strategize for the next season, the looming presence of an angry Mahomes poses a considerable challenge for their future opponents.
  • We must brace ourselves for a potential revenge tour led by Mahomes, as the quarterback is likely to return with a fierce determination to reclaim his status in the league.
  • The narrative surrounding Mahomes's performance during the last Super Bowl illustrates that despite a lackluster game, his innate talent and ability to make pivotal plays remain formidable.
  • In light of the Chiefs' recent loss, it is imperative to recognize that their dynasty remains intact, as they continue to be a dominant force in the league despite this setback.

Speaker A:

Nick Sirianni.

Speaker A:

Yeah.

Speaker A:

Wow.

Speaker A:

Super bowl lix is over and your reigning, defending, newly crowned super bowl champions are the Philadelphia Eagles.

Speaker A:

However, do not celebrate too early, my brothers.

Speaker A:

The job is half done.

Speaker A:

Yeah.

Speaker A:

We all happy that there's a new super bowl champion.

Speaker A:

We all happy that there's finally some competition.

Speaker A:

Competition job's not finished.

Speaker A:

The main goal is to make sure Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs do not go to the super bowl for at least another five years.

Speaker A:

Them losing at the super bowl is not just enough.

Speaker A:

Don't you miss a Super bowl where you at least had some suspense.

Speaker A:

Don't you miss watching the super bowl and wondering, wow, somebody's about to get their first Super Bowl.

Speaker A:

Some.

Speaker A:

their first Super bowl since:

Speaker A:

Something.

Speaker A:

The Chiefs had ruined that.

Speaker A:

The Patriots before them had ruined that.

Speaker A:

The AFC has been on lock for the past 20 years, bro.

Speaker A:

And now finally, someone has beaten Patrick Mahomes.

Speaker A:

Because I will not lie.

Speaker A:

Jalen Hurts.

Speaker A:

We were watching you.

Speaker A:

You weren't on thin knives, but you were an ice boy.

Speaker A:

I'll tell you that.

Speaker A:

I'll tell you that.

Speaker A:

It was.

Speaker A:

It was so much fun watching Jalen Hurts win his super bowl mvp.

Speaker A:

We should have seen he was gonna win with that.

Speaker A:

With that outfit that he wore at the championship game.

Speaker A:

Y'all remember that fit he wore to the championship game with the hat and the pants?

Speaker A:

And then he had the cigar going.

Speaker A:

There was no way that man was gonna lose, and he did not lose.

Speaker A:

Chief's tears.

Speaker A:

Chief's tears.

Speaker A:

Not what?

Speaker A:

Oh, man.

Speaker A:

It is.

Speaker A:

It is.

Speaker A:

It is such a good day.

Speaker A:

It is so.

Speaker A:

It is so.

Speaker A:

Oh, my God.

Speaker A:

God is good.

Speaker A:

God is good.

Speaker A:

And this is where I see it.

Speaker A:

Because devil magic is a thing.

Speaker A:

The Chiefs were using it.

Speaker A:

Imported straight from Limpopo.

Speaker A:

The hottest and most powerful devil music.

Speaker B:

Ha.

Speaker A:

You just lost to the Chiefs.

Speaker A:

However, let me get serious for a minute, man.

Speaker A:

I didn't even.

Speaker A:

NJ.

Speaker A:

How you doing, bro?

Speaker A:

I'm sorry.

Speaker B:

Life is ass right now.

Speaker B:

Life is ass right now.

Speaker B:

Chelsea is out of the FA Cup.

Speaker B:

That's.

Speaker A:

Chelsea's out of the FA Cup.

Speaker B:

We lost to.

Speaker B:

To Brighton.

Speaker B:

We lost to Brighton.

Speaker A:

Ah, but I heard Brighton United is good.

Speaker B:

It doesn't matter.

Speaker B:

We lost.

Speaker A:

We lost.

Speaker B:

When have you ever seen me happy?

Speaker B:

When I.

Speaker B:

When a team.

Speaker B:

My team loses.

Speaker A:

True, true.

Speaker A:

A loss is a loss.

Speaker B:

A loss is a loss.

Speaker A:

Just like the Kansas City Chiefs.

Speaker B:

At least they were in the final.

Speaker B:

Thank you.

Speaker B:

We didn't even get to the final.

Speaker A:

Touche.

Speaker B:

You know what we do?

Speaker B:

You know, do you not what Chelsea just did?

Speaker A:

What we just pulled?

Speaker B:

The Ravens.

Speaker B:

That's what.

Speaker A:

I'm laughing at.

Speaker A:

All Ravens jokes until the next season starts.

Speaker A:

I'm.

Speaker A:

I think I've earned that.

Speaker A:

I think I've earned that.

Speaker A:

After the very long regular after the very long regular season the Ravens gave me, I think I've earned to laugh at every Ravens joke from now until the next season starts.

Speaker A:

Like, totally my dude.

Speaker A:

How are you?

Speaker A:

Are you fine?

Speaker A:

Yeah, you can just tell me down there, Mukundi.

Speaker A:

I'm fine, Mukundi.

Speaker A:

I'm.

Speaker A:

Well, we have new super bowl champions.

Speaker A:

I've done this too many times already, but I'm just so happy, man.

Speaker A:

I'm just so happy.

Speaker A:

Oh, my God.

Speaker A:

Oh, my God.

Speaker A:

Can you imagine?

Speaker A:

Can you imagine how insufferable the Kansas City Chiefs would have been if they threeped?

Speaker A:

But you know how they say there's two sides to every Coin.

Speaker A:

I was thinking about this.

Speaker A:

And let's celebrate this now and let's enjoy this moment while it lasts.

Speaker A:

Because we are all happy that there's somebody, finally, somebody new at the top of the food chain.

Speaker A:

We're all happy that there's a brand new champion, somebody not named Patrick Mahomes.

Speaker A:

However, I don't think we're all ready for an angry Patrick Mahomes.

Speaker A:

Because if you think he's gonna take this lying down and if you think that man is not gonna play with a chip on his shoulder next season.

Speaker A:

Cause he heard you and he heard you and he heard me talking.

Speaker A:

And he received all that hate, and he took all that hate and he played probably one of the worst games he's ever played.

Speaker A:

However, man, man, he still made plays that made you say, oh, damn, that's Patrick Mahomes.

Speaker A:

But are we ready for an end for an angry Patrick Mahomes next season?

Speaker A:

Somebody who's gonna be on a revenge tour.

Speaker A:

Somebody who's gonna make sure he gets to the Super Bowl.

Speaker A:

And not only does he get to the super bowl, he's gonna make sure he wins the super bowl like he did the past two years.

Speaker A:

And he's gonna try to dominate the AFC and he's gonna try to dominate the game.

Speaker A:

And he's gonna do his best to make sure that we all remember his name.

Speaker A:

Because this is doing nothing but adding to the goat campaign.

Speaker A:

Mind you, he has the rest of his career ahead of him.

Speaker A:

He still has a lot of football.

Speaker A:

Patrick Mahomes is only 28, 29 years old.

Speaker A:

He still has a lot of football ahead of him.

Speaker A:

Tom Brady retired at 45.

Speaker A:

Aaron Rodgers is 40.

Speaker A:

Oh, and a side note, I just saw today, the jets are moving on from Aaron Rodgers.

Speaker A:

So you can.

Speaker A:

You can officially say the Aaron Rodgers experiment has failed in New York.

Speaker A:

So Patrick Mahomes is a bad man.

Speaker A:

And he's gonna make sure we remember that next season.

Speaker A:

I have a feeling that he.

Speaker A:

The Chiefs are gonna make some moves.

Speaker A:

They clearly have to make moves.

Speaker A:

And let me give them credit for this.

Speaker A:

As an organization, they knew what they had to do.

Speaker A:

They started the season and they said, although we starting the season undefeated, we are, are going to have to make adjustments.

Speaker A:

We are going to have to change this team.

Speaker A:

That's why they made moves for DeAndre Hopkins.

Speaker A:

That's why they made moves for other receivers, because they could tell that we need to build this team and make sure that by the time the super bowl arrives, we are nice.

Speaker A:

And they were nice.

Speaker A:

We were so blindsided by the fact that the Kansas City Chiefs are not beating teams in convincing and dominant fashion.

Speaker A:

We actually forgot what we actually couldn't even see and pay attention to what they were doing.

Speaker A:

And what were they doing behind the scenes?

Speaker A:

They were making all the right necessary moves to make sure they get to this position.

Speaker A:

I don't think they got to the super bowl by luck.

Speaker A:

You can't.

Speaker A:

It's impossible.

Speaker A:

The teams they had to beat, you can't get lucky against those teams.

Speaker A:

Would you beat.

Speaker A:

Would you beat the Bills by luck?

Speaker A:

No, you wouldn't.

Speaker A:

Wouldn't even try.

Speaker A:

Would you beat the Houston Texans by luck?

Speaker A:

No, you wouldn't.

Speaker A:

Wouldn't even try.

Speaker A:

The Kansas City Chiefs were that good and they are that good.

Speaker A:

And the main mission is to make sure they do not return to the super bowl next year.

Speaker A:

Somebody needs to represent the AFC that's not named Patrick Mahomes.

Speaker A:

That's the main mission.

Speaker A:

It's fun now because, yeah, Philadelphia won their ring and thank you.

Speaker A:

Congratulations.

Speaker A:

You saved us from the three peat.

Speaker A:

However, the dynasty is still in motion.

Speaker A:

The dynasty still exists.

Speaker A:

Just because they didn't win doesn't mean.

Speaker A:

Doesn't mean they're not a dynasty.

Speaker A:

How many times have you been to the Finals?

Speaker A:

And how many times have you controlled your division, your league and your conference?

Speaker A:

That's the real question.

Speaker A:

That's the reason we say the Lakers were a dynasty, right?

Speaker A:

They may not have won all the championships, but they were at most of the Finals.

Speaker A:

That's the reason we say Golden State are a dynasty.

Speaker A:

They went to six Finals in eight years.

Speaker A:

That's a dynasty.

Speaker A:

They may have won four, but they went to six Finals in eight years.

Speaker A:

That's a generational run.

Speaker A:

The Chiefs are still in effect, unlike the other teams.

Speaker A:

I don't expect the warriors to make to make it to the Finals anytime soon.

Speaker A:

Same thing with the Lakers.

Speaker A:

However, would you be surprised if the Kansas City Chiefs were right back in the super bowl next season?

Speaker A:

No.

Speaker A:

Exactly.

Speaker A:

There's a reason for that.

Speaker A:

And if it keeps going this way, I don't know if that's going to be good for the sport of football.

Speaker A:

Because he's going to be the Michael Jordan of the NFL.

Speaker A:

Unless Lamar Jackson goes to the afc, goes to the nfc, he may never win a Super bowl because of Patrick Mahomes.

Speaker A:

Unless Josh Allen goes to the.

Speaker A:

It goes to the nfc.

Speaker A:

He may never.

Speaker A:

Joe Burrow.

Speaker A:

Joe Burrow.

Speaker A:

I'm even willing to cut some slack because he's one of the few quarterbacks that have actually Managed to beat the Kansas City Chiefs in the playoffs.

Speaker A:

That gives us three names now.

Speaker A:

Tom Brady, Joe Burrow, Jalen Hurts.

Speaker A:

The only three quarterbacks to ever beat Patrick Mahomes in the playoffs.

Speaker A:

But let me tell you how he beat him.

Speaker A:

s beat the Kansas City Chiefs:

Speaker A:

In what was a dominant performance by the Eagles defense.

Speaker A:

The.

Speaker A:

The Chiefs offensive line was nowhere to be seen.

Speaker A:

This was the:

Speaker A:

And what was happening.

Speaker A:

The defense was smothering him.

Speaker A:

If you could give the entire defense super bowl mvp, you.

Speaker A:

You should have, and you would have.

Speaker A:

That's how dominant they were in this game.

Speaker A:

But let me say what j.

Speaker A:

What Patrick Mahomes did.

Speaker A:

257 yards, three touchdowns, two interceptions.

Speaker A:

Now those stats just say, yeah, Patrick Mahomes had a great game.

Speaker A:

No, he didn't.

Speaker A:

No, he didn't.

Speaker A:

He played, man.

Speaker A:

It wasn't.

Speaker A:

It wasn't Patrick Mahomes.

Speaker A:

There was an elite quarterback on the field, but it wasn't Patrick Mahomes.

Speaker A:

I'm telling you.

Speaker A:

Travis Kelce was nowhere to be found.

Speaker A:

Only at four receptions this game for 39 yards with zero touchdowns.

Speaker A:

Xavier Worthy.

Speaker A:

He tried.

Speaker A:

He balled 157 yards with two touchdowns.

Speaker A:

DeAndre Hopkins had a touchdown.

Speaker A:

But DeAndre Hopkins also dropped the ball, bro.

Speaker A:

He dropped the ball like.

Speaker A:

I tried to let it slide, but DeAndre Hopkins, man, the Chiefs got you during the trade window and you were supposed to make a difference.

Speaker A:

Sure, you helped them get this far, but you can't be fumbling passes in the Super Bowl.

Speaker A:

Especially since this is your first super bowl in your entire career.

Speaker A:

You've been in the league 12 seasons.

Speaker A:

I don't know about you, if I wait 12 years for a moment, I'm getting my moment, not dropping the ball.

Speaker A:

But you never know what goes on in another man's mind during high pressure moments.

Speaker A:

I want to tell you about our champions.

Speaker A:

Jalen Hurts had the game.

Speaker A:

I said, you better have a game where you throw for like 200 yards with a few touchdowns, do your thing and beat Patrick Mahomes.

Speaker A:

I'm glad Jalen Hurts listens to.

Speaker A:

I talk sports.

Speaker A:

That's exactly what he did.

Speaker A:

221 yards, two touchdowns and one interception.

Speaker A:

And he had some great rushing plays as well.

Speaker A:

He rushed for 72 yards.

Speaker A:

If I were to come here and if I were to tell you that Jalen Hurts is gonna run more than Saquon Barkley.

Speaker A:

You'd be like, why?

Speaker A:

Well, he did.

Speaker A:

Saquon only rushed for 57 yards.

Speaker A:

He didn't even have a touchdown.

Speaker A:

Damn.

Speaker A:

And I was this close to betting on saquon rushing for 100.

Speaker A:

But I was just like, ah, yeah, let me keep it, let me keep it.

Speaker A:

But great game, man.

Speaker A:

And of course.

Speaker A:

And of course we got to watch Kendrick.

Speaker A:

Kendrick did his thing.

Speaker A:

What a great, great super bowl halftime show.

Speaker A:

Say, Drake, it's not looking good for the boy, okay?

Speaker A:

I am done with the NFL.

Speaker A:

And with that, the NFL season will be on.

Speaker A:

This will be on do not disturb until October, unfortunately, which means my Sundays are free now, so.

Speaker A:

Yeah, but it's a damn shame.

Speaker A:

October, dog.

Speaker A:

October is when the season starts.

Speaker A:

February, March, April, May, June, July, August, September.

Speaker A:

What am I gonna watch?

Speaker A:

I love football.

Speaker A:

Should I start watching sock?

Speaker B:

Start watching real football?

Speaker A:

Should I start watching sock?

Speaker B:

Real football.

Speaker A:

Real football.

Speaker A:

I might start watching soccer because there's no football now.

Speaker A:

Okay, UFC 312, we got violent.

Speaker A:

No DNA.

Speaker A:

Just RSA ELEV Vietni VAT ons Vietni driges duplessis.

Speaker A:

Handled, handled, handled his business against Sean Strickland.

Speaker A:

Broke his nose.

Speaker A:

Even in what I expected to be a great fight, a nail biter, a fight with a great finish turned out to be a good fight, which is not a nail biter.

Speaker A:

And it came down to the finish.

Speaker A:

Drake has handled his business.

Speaker A:

I will say till this day, bro.

Speaker A:

Till this day.

Speaker A:

I don't understand Drakers.

Speaker A:

No, well, well, there's definitely technique to it, I guess, but he's just be swinging, bro.

Speaker A:

He fights exactly like a South African proof, bruh.

Speaker A:

Like this, this, you can tell it's from Benoni.

Speaker A:

Benoni, like, you can tell that he's, he's, he's a brew, bro.

Speaker A:

He's fight, he's fights like a freak.

Speaker A:

You know, that's exactly what he does.

Speaker A:

He just be throwing and going and it works.

Speaker A:

And it works.

Speaker A:

What am I saying?

Speaker A:

UFC middleweight champion Dricus Duplis defended his middleweight title against number one contender Sean Strickland in a five round decision.

Speaker A:

Which was probably a lot more exciting than I'm playing it out to be, but I didn't enjoy this fight one bit.

Speaker A:

Why?

Speaker A:

Because it's, it wasn't different from the first fight.

Speaker A:

Sean Strickland, I'm very disappointed.

Speaker A:

Sean Strickland did the exact same thing he did in the first fight and he expected to win.

Speaker A:

How you gonna do it if you didn't win the Last time your coaches were telling you we need more activity.

Speaker A:

Even I could have told you, you need more activity.

Speaker A:

You need to do something, because DDP is serving hands.

Speaker A:

Hey, ddp.

Speaker A:

Serving hands.

Speaker A:

And unfortunately, you appear.

Speaker A:

You appear to enjoy the menu.

Speaker A:

Like that's all you were doing.

Speaker A:

You were catching his hands with your face.

Speaker A:

You're not supposed to do that.

Speaker A:

That's what blocking is for.

Speaker A:

That's what defending is for.

Speaker A:

But no, Strickland just kept going and going and trying.

Speaker A:

His defense is impeccable in terms of just defending, but you can't just defend.

Speaker A:

It's the same chat I had about Ian Machado.

Speaker A:

Gary, when he fought Shafkat Rahmanov a few months ago, I said, his defense is very good, but he's as good as Rudy Gobert on the offensive side.

Speaker A:

And if.

Speaker A:

I don't know if Sean Strickland knows this in everybody and Ian Mashado knows this, but the whole point of MMA is to inflict damage on your opponent while taking the least amount of damage you've seen.

Speaker A:

You seem to have mastered the part of not taking damage, but we need to see you do something now.

Speaker A:

We need activity.

Speaker A:

You can't just be blocking and checking his leg kicks the whole fight.

Speaker A:

When are you gonna keep moving?

Speaker A:

The most effective form of punishment Sean Strickland had for DDP was his jab.

Speaker A:

And you're not gonna get much done with just a jab.

Speaker A:

You need to mix it up with them calf kicks, them body kicks, those hooks.

Speaker A:

Where was that?

Speaker A:

DDP was doing a great job with that.

Speaker A:

He'd move to the body, then he'd get his legs, and then he'd get the hook kick.

Speaker A:

He's a very, very good kicker.

Speaker A:

I will say he uses his legs very well in fighting, but even with that, he was using his kicks.

Speaker A:

He was throwing his hands, he was punching.

Speaker A:

He was doing everything he needed to do to win this fight, because he did say, I don't want it to go to the.

Speaker A:

To go to the refs.

Speaker A:

When I'm done with Sean Strickland in this fight, I want to be done with him and put him to the side and have everyone know that DDP is done with Sean Stricten because he's beaten him twice.

Speaker A:

And the other time, it was in convincing Fash via knockout or.

Speaker A:

Or stoppage didn't do that.

Speaker A:

However, as opposed to the split decision from the first fight, this was a unanimous decision.

Speaker A:

Congratulations on ddp.

Speaker A:

Now you get to fight Kamzat Chimaev, which is a fight I really, really, really Want to watch DDP vs Kamzat Chimaev is something I will pay real and a lot of money for.

Speaker A:

Sign me up for that fight.

Speaker A:

Dana White announced that's the next one.

Speaker A:

Because Shaft.

Speaker A:

So.

Speaker A:

Because Kamzat Chimaev broke Robert Whitaker's jaw a few months ago.

Speaker A:

And then that's gonna be fun.

Speaker A:

We shall see how we get to that.

Speaker A:

However, the real fight I wanted to watch, the real fight I wanted to watch is the Goat.

Speaker A:

The straw weight goat.

Speaker A:

Zhang Weili defending her straw weight title against number one contender, Tatiana Suarez.

Speaker A:

Pow.

Speaker A:

Pow.

Speaker A:

Great fight.

Speaker A:

That was actually a better fight that.

Speaker A:

Because I was just getting to watch the Goat do what the goat does.

Speaker A:

In a dominant and convincing performance, Zhang Weili showed us why, exactly.

Speaker A:

Why she's the best draw weight in the world.

Speaker A:

And in a sense, I kind of enjoy the.

Speaker A:

The poetry of this fight because Tatiana was always looked at as the next in line.

Speaker A:

She was destined for greatness, destined to be a champion.

Speaker A:

Everybody kept saying this.

Speaker A:

She came in as the favorite to this fight.

Speaker A:

The champ came in as an underdog.

Speaker A:

Let that settle in for a minute.

Speaker A:

And as the underdog, the champ showed us exactly why she's the champion.

Speaker A:

I've.

Speaker A:

I have a feeling that these fighters, whenever they get in the ring with the champion in or in the octagon with the champion, by the third round there, there's probably something in them that clicks that says, okay, I see why this person is the champion.

Speaker A:

Because you could see it.

Speaker A:

Zhang Weili lost the first round.

Speaker A:

Tatiana did a great job of taking her down in the first round, but that's all she did.

Speaker A:

She had a great first round.

Speaker A:

It was all Zhang Weili from the second to the.

Speaker A:

To the end of the fight.

Speaker A:

Allow me to give you the stats real quick, because you wouldn't believe it even if I told you.

Speaker A:

Total strikes.

Speaker A:

Zhang Weili through 299 total strikes, landing 232 of them.

Speaker A:

Tatiana Suarez through 95 strikes, landing 63 of them.

Speaker A:

Zhang Weili made one of three takedowns.

Speaker A:

Just one of three.

Speaker A:

And that was, you know, that takedown.

Speaker A:

That's just a cocky takedown, like.

Speaker A:

Yeah, that's just to show you I can, by the way.

Speaker A:

Yeah, she hit her with one of those.

Speaker A:

Tatiana Suarez attempted 15 takedowns.

Speaker A:

She got one like A.I.

Speaker A:

imagine so.

Speaker A:

Zhang Weili, you're the Goat.

Speaker A:

I don't know what else to say, man.

Speaker A:

At this point, she should just retire at the top, because I always hate it when I watch the champions and the grades get dog Walked.

Speaker A:

Because they're just getting old, you know, and there's nothing you can do about getting old.

Speaker A:

So before that happens, she's 35.

Speaker A:

I think it's time for her to call it a day.

Speaker A:

So, yeah, Zhang Weili is the goat DDP is gonna fight.

Speaker A:

Comes out in what should be a better fight.

Speaker A:

But don't forget, Patrick Mahomes is not the reigning defending super bowl champion.

Speaker A:

Those are the Philadelphia Eagles.

Speaker A:

And shout out to Jalen Hurts for Super bowl mvp.

Speaker A:

Nj you got something for me?

Speaker B:

Why was Serena Crip walking?

Speaker A:

That's what I wanted.

Speaker B:

Why was the goat of tennis Crip walking?

Speaker A:

Because Drake thought it'd be fun to mention Serena in one of.

Speaker A:

In one of his diss tracks.

Speaker A:

And Kendrick was like, oh, it's arena.

Speaker A:

Pull up.

Speaker A:

Mm.

Speaker B:

That was just evil, man.

Speaker B:

That was just.

Speaker B:

That was just diabolical.

Speaker B:

That was really diabolical.

Speaker B:

Especially because the future goat was being dog walked.

Speaker B:

And I wasn't a 40 year.

Speaker B:

No.

Speaker A:

In half.

Speaker B:

Half time.

Speaker A:

24 0.

Speaker A:

It was 24 0.

Speaker A:

24, 24 0.

Speaker A:

Yeah.

Speaker B:

Okay.

Speaker B:

And then Kendrick.

Speaker B:

Game over.

Speaker A:

Kendrick came through at game over.

Speaker B:

Game over.

Speaker B:

And Serena Crip walked.

Speaker B:

So Pat Mahomes lost in emphatic fashion.

Speaker A:

But here's the thing, though.

Speaker A:

The last quarter, he was starting to do Pat Mahomes things, but too little, too late.

Speaker B:

Yeah.

Speaker B:

Yeah.

Speaker A:

That's how they went from.

Speaker A:

From 0 to 24.

Speaker A:

However, the Eagles put up 20 more points on their head.

Speaker B:

If you.

Speaker B:

If you.

Speaker B:

If you're in soccer, if you're losing five nil on the 75th minute and you score two goals, we don't care.

Speaker B:

You lost.

Speaker A:

You lost.

Speaker B:

You lost.

Speaker B:

Right?

Speaker B:

Who's our next super bowl champion?

Speaker B:

From now.

Speaker A:

From now.

Speaker B:

I got Lamar.

Speaker B:

I got Lamar.

Speaker A:

It's only a matter of time.

Speaker A:

The Bills.

Speaker B:

You got the Bills.

Speaker A:

I got the Bills.

Speaker B:

Was that Josh?

Speaker A:

Yeah.

Speaker A:

Josh Allen.

Speaker B:

I got Lamar.

Speaker A:

Nah, I love Lamar, but with the Bills, it's a Celtics situation, you know, it's just a matter of time.

Speaker A:

Yeah.

Speaker A:

So, yeah.

Speaker A:

My next super bowl champion.

Speaker A:

Prediction.

Speaker A:

Buffalo Bills.

Speaker A:

Let's talk in a year and see what happens, eh?

Speaker A:

Yeah.

Speaker A:

Go out there, have fun, kiss your mom, tell your friends nice things, and as always, enjoy the violence.

Speaker A:

Get over it.

Speaker A:

They're gonna keep losing.
