Ten Takes is a production of the NFL in partnership with iHeartRadio, Mary Christmas, You Filthy Animal. Ten Takes you click. I love you for it. I love you every single week. I loved you last week. I love you next week. I definitely love you this week. We do it in ten minutes, not a second more. It's always ten, not one more, not one less. About the NFL weekend and anything I got going on, anything I think might be fun to talk about. Ten Takes. Start the clock. Take number one. The ending of the Chiefs Chargers game was the funniest moment of the NFL year. I really mean this when I say when that kick hit the upright, I laughed out loud. It's a sorry state with laugh out loud right now, because everyone texts it for years and years and years, and so when you actually say that you laughed out loud, they think you didn't. You think you thought it was mildly amusing, or you're saying it to be polite. I promise you. I ge fawd. I had a belly laugh when the kick hit the upright. It was so funny to me because I personally had spent the entire morning and NFL network being in the segments about are the Chiefs lucky? Are they good? Or are they just lucky? And then it's almost like the Chiefs heard those types of segments going around and just gave a middle finger to everybody or winked at them or whatever gesture is the most flippant and hit the upright with the third string kicker. And I'll tell you this, in that point five seconds between a ball in any situation hitting the upright on a kick, and that moment when you know if it's good or not, that point five seconds is electric because sometimes it bounces back and it's no good, but sometimes it bounces past the crossbar and it is good. And it's like in this great grated suspense, but there was no suspense for that Chiefs team. You knew it was good. Dude, absolutely did. And it is so funny to me that they are now leaning into how much they are driving people crazy with the way they win these games. The way they win these games, which they do pretty much every single week except for when they lost the Bills. More on the Bills in a second, take number two more Chiefs. I've said this before, I'll say it again. I don't apologize for saying it. I love this Chiefs team. I love them my favorite team of the Mahomes era, because I love that people hate them. I love that people are sick of them, and I love now that they're collecting all of the trappings of a dynasty in terms of the reaction from the public. Number One, you get all the calls from the officials. They've had that for a long time. Number Two, you get all the lucky breaks. They've got that now too. The only thing missing from the complete set. They got to own the whole set is you cheat. And they will get there. Eventually someone will come up with something, or they'll do something legitimate, most likely the former where someone will accuse them of cheating. And once they have that, that's like the seven signs of the Apocalypse. It's the three signs of the dynasty. And I love that they do it. I love that you watch a Chiefs game, they look so bad. The offense looks so horrible, and not even just horrible. They zero flow, zero chemistry. They don't even look comfortable, let alone efficient, And then they're like, all right, should we do the thing? Now? Let's do the thing. Snap highlight run, by Mahomes Scramble My Mahomes Kelsey field goal touchdown. Let's get out here and do it next week. It reminds me, and there's not all of you will understand this, but some of you will. My favorite all time wrestler is the Ultimate Warrior, and he used to be getting beat up, beat up, beat up, beat up, and then at one point in the match, just when you think he's gonna lose, the other guy does his finisher to the Ultimate Warrior. You think it's oh, it's over. The Warrior then kicks out, starts shaking the ropes, starts doing these leg pump things, and the other guy's punching them and punching them and punching them, and it's like the Warriors like, no, I am impervious to anything you do. It's winning time. Gorilla press, shoulder block, splash, it's over. The Chiefs do that thing where they start shaking the ropes after they've been pinned, and it's so fun to watch last point on the Chiefs, all these close wins, all these these these lucky breaks, ask yourself this. Let's say they get the one seat and they get through the wild card with the buy run they get the divisional run on that Sunday, If the Chiefs were to lose to an insert team here Pittsburg, Houston, Baltimore, I don't don't know who it is, and they lose that game, and oh my god, they lost the divisional round. Given all the breaks that they've had, considering how close did they play it, would you be surprised if they lost that game, because I would be shocked, shocked. I still think they're not gonna lose it. Fifteen and three in the playoffs. I don't care how little they win by. I still think they'll win the playoff games. Take number three. Every Eagles fan I know is at best frustrated and at worst terrified. This is why the Philadelphia Eagles are one of my favorite fan bases, because they're like this, we don't have it. We're gonna lose the playoffs. I text with these people, I see these people online. The Eagles are in the middle of a nine game winning streak. They've won nine in a row. It's almost impossible to do. And all the talk after is I don't know if Jalen's got his own wide Receiver AJ Brown after a win at home is asked so what do you need to work on? It says passing. We're gonna get better at passing. I could a player off the Raiders or Giants right now who looks more joyous than the star wide receiver under contract for the Eagles of one nine in a row. Their energy is weird, and I think part of the problem, especially for the fans. I think you see that Panthers logo who you beat yesterday, and you're like, oh my god, we almost lost to the Panthers. We want to suck. You don't suck, but the Panthers don't suck either. You gotta re you gotta update the software on the Panthers. Got there. They're different now. Dave Canawis has them playing. Bryce Young is confident they almost beat the Chiefs. The Panthers are not the team that you thought they were. They're better now. It's okay that you almost lost to the Panthers. Few teams have almost lost to the Panthers. Futures have lost to the Panthers. Don't worry about Philadelphia. You're still gonna get to the title game. Take number four. You don't care about the Falcons. I know you don't. I just bet I find them fascinating. What the hell happened to this team? They were in first place. Cousins is doing the swag surf and it's one of the stories of the year in Atlanta. This and Raheem Morris, This Pijon's finally a thing. Oh my god, Kyle Pitts is actually scoring for my fantasy team. And now they are just awful. They can't do any thing. They go and they get their doors blown off by sam Donold and the Vikings not even close. Embarrassing highlights, embarrassing low lights. What happened overnight? They haven't won in a month, and they were doing great. They didn't have any massive season ending injury, they didn't have an off the field incident that just derailed them psychologically. They just started sucking. The Falcons are like when you're and you're gonna go to bed and you're like, oh, your phone needs the updates to the new iOS software. You're like, all right, yeah, I'll do it while I'm asleep. Okay, sure, that'll be great. I'll be efficient. I'll wake up in the morning. You wake up in the morning, you go over to your phone and you're like, whoa, what is this it's saying hello to me in different languages. And why does everything look so different? Go back to the old phone. I hate this phone. Can you on updates and they're like, no, we got you now, sucker, that's the Falcons. I want to go back to the old Falcons. This new update is terrible. Take number six. Oh crap, I'm only on five. Oh now I'm gonna run out of time, guys. Take number five. I hope this Bill's losses memorable. What I mean by that is I hope that in a year and really more importantly, like twenty years from now, that Bills fans don't have to look back and be like that Rams game that was really emblematic of the Josh Allen era in that he turns into Thanos and has three rushing touchdowns and three passing touchdowns. But the first time in the history of the sport and they lose to kind of a middling Rams team. Is that a bigger problem? Is that what is going to define this era? That they had Josh and he did crazy things, but inevitably they just come up short. I don't like the play calling at the goal line. Tom Brady was all over and I thought a very good broadcasting day where you don't run the quarterback sneak it makes you burn a time out. They were electric, And just because they lost to the Rams and Sean McVay, I think the best coach in the league, doesn't mean their Bills aren't gonna win the Super Bowl this year. I hope it's nothing more than that, and that years from now you won't point at that game as the perfect example of the Josh Allen era. He's amazing. The team figures out away at the end to blow it. Take number six, The Chargers are gona winn a playoff game. I'm not abandoned in that take. They're not gonna beat the Chiefs in the playoffs, but they're gonna win a playoff game. Their defense is fantastic, their coach is fantastic, their quarterback is gonna be good enough, and they're gonna get back their receiver and they're running back. I would just don't jump ship on the Chargers if you were on the ship just because they lost the Chiefs and that was the chief everybody lose the Chiefs. I still think they're gonna win a playoff game. Take number seven, the Bears are unwatchable. I mean that literally. I'm gonna do something you're not supposed to do in sports media. I'm gonna break one of the rules. I'm gonna admit to you, the people. I did not watch one second of Bears forty nine ers. Now you're supposed to say you watch every game. Oh, I don't miss a game, and if I miss it, I watched the coach's tape I see in every single game. I didn't watch a single snap of Bears forty nine ers. Didn't want to, wasn't interested in it. I am so glad that I didn't because it looked like the worst football game ever played. I'm not gonna do it. Why would I want to expose myself to that. I'm happy for the forty nine ers. A lot of guys on that team that I like, some of them, I know, personally happy for them. Weren't the Bears supposed to get this interim coach bump? What happened? Where's the Darren Rizzy effect with the Bears. You're supposed to fire your coach and then you go off this fools golden winning streak for a few weeks, all right? Where was that? I didn't watch one down it. I'm not ashamed to admit it. I watched a lot of other games. I've watched every other Bears game this year, didn't watch this one. Might not watch next week to take another week off. Take number eight point Break is a wonderful movie to show you your child. I showed it to my eleven year old son over the weekend. I was so excited. It's one of my favorite movies of all time. It's a thirty three year old film, and my son absolutely loved it. I'm so proud of those guys. I'm proud of Papus, I'm proud of Johnny. I'm even proud of Tyler Ann Endicott, I'm proud of war Child. I'm proud of all of them. And you know why I'm proud because at the end of the movie, I turned to my eleven year old son, who loved and I said, so, son, did you find yourself at the end rooting for Johnny or for body? And he said, I don't know, and I said, exactly. I love you, son, and I'm proud of you. Take number nine. There are rams fans. That's a myth. Oh, there are no The visiting team takes over all the whole stadium. I was there and so ify yesterday Bill's Rams. There's lots of Rams fans now. I don't know if the Chargers fans, but they always stay in the broadcast. It's all the invading fans. There's lots of Rams fans. I don't know if there's charges, but they're definitely are rim Take number ten. Meeting Tom Brady is odd. I met Tom Brady, yes say, for the first time in my life. I shook his hand, I talked to him. It's weird to meet something that you've spent so much time of your life watching. I've never met Tom Cruise, I've never met Arnold Swarzenegger. I've never met Harrison Ford. But meeting Tom Brady kind of felt like that, like I have spent years watching you, studying you, and I'm really impressed by you. And you know what, he was really friendly and very kind and out going. I met Tom Brady and it was odd. I hope I meet Tom Crews next and that's it. It's over. Meeting Tom Cruise might be odd. I hope I do it before he dies on the set of one of those Mission Impossible movies. Because we know that's gonna happen. I kind of think he wants that to happen. I think he wants to go out that way. This is not called eleven takes. Why am I still talking? It's ten takes. It's ten minutes. As promised, Holiday season, the best time of the year. We will be back next week. In the meantime, please share, please tweet, please like I'm not here for my health. You're listening. If you enjoy it, let people know about it. It helps helps me, it helps you, helps all of this helps the world. It really does. See you next week. Ten Takes Do the best Thing.
