Somebody's got to say the Ravens, So somebody's got to say the Bills, because this is just what we do in this era. And then every year they lose to the Chiefs. But maybe it'll be different this year. I will take door number three because I'm going to say the Bengals because the Bengals have done it. The Bengals have beaten him, they have dethroned him, they have taken him out. And I also think the bounce back year for the Bengals in the sense that last year was so strange and they were so prolific and so statistically excellent and then just couldn't win games. There's no possible way they can protect Burrow worse than they did last year. The guys are paid, the guys are under contract, and by the guys, I certainly don't mean the pass rusher, I mean the two toys that Burrow has. I just feel like with that coach and that quarterback, I have to believe that things are going to be better than last year. And last year they were brilliant in terms of productivity. I just if you always give me a puncher's chance for one team or one guy that's gonna go to Arrowhead in the divisional or the title game, and holy crap, they beat the Chiefs. I can pick the teams that never do it, or I can pick the team that has at least done it once so again hashtag June second, I'll say Burrow does it. And I love Lamar, I love Josh, but there's just something about that number nine in Cincinnati. I would just first say about Caleb and the story that he didn't want to be in Chicago and all this, and that I ate him. On innumerable Bears text chains with lifelong meat and potato hard hat wearing Bears fans in the Chicago area and across the country, I don't know a single one of them who gave a single bleep about that story or was in any way insulted, in any way sensitive. Because Bears fans have a lot of their faults, but one of them is not lacking self awareness. They know what they are and what they aren't, and they know that the elephant in the room is that their quarterbacks are very, very rarely good, and that they've been chasing one for forty years. So the idea that Caleb's like, I don't know, Chicago, I'm going to be the number one pick. I'm not sure that's the best place for me to go to succeed in football. All Bears friends are like, yeah, no kidding, We're thrilled that you're here. Of course it's not the best place. It's the Bears. I don't see any of that about How dare he say it's nonsense? I think it's a straw man. I think it's completely made up. And every Bears fan is so excited about Caleb and so embracing of Caleb that it's fine. We like it out in the open now. Wasn't sure if he wanted to come there. He did. He got the crap kicked out of him last year through six interceptions all year behind a bad offensive line. I think that story is nothing. It had it splash. It's fine. I don't hold any resent and whatsoever. As far as this year, I say the same thing about the Bears that I would say about the Cowboys. How is this year any different from every year? When they win the offseason? Are supposed to do this and that. In a lot of ways, A they went to lambeau Field the end of last season, in one which they never do. B they hired Ben Johnson, which they would have never done over the last ten, fifteen to twenty years. Ben Johnson is the anti Matt Ebraflus, and that is a very good thing. They're doing things they wouldn't normally do, from not only the front office, from ownership. They wouldn't have normally paid Joe Toney all that money. Yeah, it's an unfavory linement. We don't need it. They're doing things that past Bears regimes wouldn't do. I think the ownership is loosening up. Let's remember they hired Matt Ibraflus in part because they liked that he didn't swear. I mean, what are we doing. Ben Johnson's gonna swear a lot, and I think the Bears players need some swearing around them because they need to be motivated. So we'll talk about this for the next five months. We got john here, we got Isaia and Jamie. I think there are a lot of reasons that they'd be excited about the Bears because it doesn't feel like the same crap they normally do. Listen, we look at the Chiefs now as all of a sudden their stock is dropped or something because they got slapped around on the Super Bowl. That was an all time Eagles team. And I don't take anything away from the Chiefs. I look at the Chiefs last year. I think it was the weakest team of the Mahomes era and the most vulnera team. They won fifteen games and had a buy and is the weakest team that they've seen it like that was the year to get them, that was the year to take them out. And yet they beat the Texans and CJ. Stroud, They beat the Bills like they do every year in the playoffs, and they got trounts in the Super Bowl. Who cares we're talking about the AFC. I like the up and comers. We're all waiting and waiting and waiting on Baltimore and Buffalo at Al. But I really do think that they were very vulnerable last year, the Chiefs, and that vulnerability led to them coasting to an AFC title and a fifteen win season on a down year. So next year I think they'll be better than they were. The ship Kelsey, I get he's old, Like there's other things emerging for the Chiefs. Right now. I don't think Kels is going to be the central weapons. So there's no way in hell I'm gonna to anybody else other than the Chiefs. As much as Kelsey may be older and slowing down, he was killing it in the playoffs. I think he had thirteen catches in three games. He gets it done. It's tough to judge them against the Eagles right now because Dak missed the games last year, and so normally what we as we pull up last year's games and say, well, they were sucked or they were good, and it's kind of a mystery. But what's not a mystery is I mean they still have Saquon coming right at them. Let's take the quarterbacks out it, let's take the coaches out of it. Saquon, particularly in the second time they faced them last year, just I mean ran right through them. This was kind of the dregs of a Cowboys season that was going nowhere. But they just fed him and fed him and there was nothing that Dallas was gonna do about it. So Dak and Schottenheimer and I don't think they're gonna make much difference in this regard as the Cowboys defense ready to stop this. I know Isaiah's gonna tell me they're the eighty five Bears. I can't wait to hear it. And he's getting repped up over there. But I just feel like, yes, the Cowboys are going in the right direction. Am I gonna say on June second? I don't know, Watch out Philadelphia. I just saw Philadelphia absolutely beat the doors off the Kansas City Chiefs and one of the worst Super Bowls I've ever watched. Are the twenty twenty five Cowboys gonna come knocking? Not there yet excited where the Cowboys are going, but I love the guys in Green still. I like the Pickens excitement. I like that there's a new coach. Frankly, I like that from Schottenheimer, who gets accused of being boring and having nothing to say. I'm glad that we're not watching Mike McCarthy again saying the same stuff he said for several years. It's something new, and Jamie, what have I said for a decade about the Dallas Cowboys? What is different? It's the same show. It's the same thing every since. Now I'm looking at a lot that's different. And I like the Pickens thing because he mentioned the youth like George Pickens is newly twenty four years old, like entry level twenty four very young. George Pickens has never played with a great quarterback. I don't even think he's ever played with an above average quarterback. And now he gets Dack like he's going to have some of the best quarterback he's ever played with, by far in the NFL. In college, He's never had the guy on the other side like George Pickens. I think when you take some of these guys who are looked at his quote unquote mercurial or quote unquote emotional, then you get this thing where it's like Odell on the Rams, where it kind of just worked and it clicked, and he's catching touchdowns in the Super Bowl. And I just feelings of positivity right now about Pickens. Is it because it's June first? Absolutely? Is it because as they stand back, Absolutely, But I choose to feel positive right now. I look at Fields and I just I'm looking at him do that press conference, as I've heard him give that exact press conference thirty times. It's just that's how he is with the Bears. With the Steelers, Scott's the limit for this offense. I'm very excited to get better. And I say this as a compliment. I really do think right here he is someone who's wired for New York because he's not going to say squad. I've seen that guy be thrown around the field, completely disrespected physically and battered and beat up with the Bears. He doesn't throw his mouth guard, he doesn't point at the lineman. He keeps his mouth shut and he goes to work. Now that work hasn't been that great, you know, And we can split Harris and say who's around him and the offensive lineman? This, this is turn number three for Justin Fields. Like he has gotten three shots at this with three different teams. This is probably it, you know. If it doesn't work out in the Jets, I don't think anybody is looking for Justin Fields to be their starter. Maybe he'll be the backup that but it's go time for him. It's past go time. All the things we said about last year we could intensibly say about Field. The team's so talented, the defense is so loaded, he has good receivers, he does this is Justin Field's best shot by far. There's a new head coach in the building. Do we say this every few years with the Jets. Absolutely, Will we say it a few years from now, probably, But the fact that we're seeing somebody new who I don't think is going to have just to considered fields the anti Rodgers. There will be no podcast appearances, there will be no drama, there will be none of that. So that alone, it will be football. It'll be refreshing, and I for one am willing to say you got to give him a fresh start. A year from now, is Brian Dable the head coach of the Giants that success and then something went right. We know what time it is with the Giants, with the front office, with their head coach. It's been a rough run. We've had some stumbles and fumbles. As a huge, stable guy like I hope in a year from now we're talking about him still being the head coach, because if we are, that means something went really well at quarterback. Now the quarterback room is really really interesting. The only thing is more interesting in the entire league is the Browns quarterback rooms. We'll talk about later, but just think about this. You've got We've got Zach Morris and we just showed the rookie they drafted high. We have Russ we have Jamis, we have de Veto out there somewhere. My question about this is, is it not any kind of competition? Does this job just get handed to Russell Wilson? I think it's a little bit weird. Like I'm watching these Knicks games and russ Is like courtside and sunglasses and good for him, And I'm thinking, like, is he even better than Jamis at this point? Like is it just his job? This is his fourth team in four years, and I feel like at this point he's a known entity and he's a legend OF's era, But like I is his game as much as his fame right now? Is he a great player? You put in probably not? Is it possible Jameis is even better than a maybe and maybe more popular in the locker room? Is it Jackson dark? Maybe he has it right out of the gate. I find it a little odd than in a kind of like win year for the coaching staff. It seems to be just this hand it to Russell Wilson, who's been here twenty seconds, and have him go to war for us. But he has a long resume, he's a lot of and I guess they like him. Over the weekend and I was just doom scrolling on Instagram like moron, and I happen to come across the official NFL profile and the people running the NFL Instagram account are trying to make content in June. I have no idea what that's like. But they did a thing with DeVante Adams john so they're showing him and not like Packers Adams, but they did the thing from last year. Now, one of the things we try to change to champion here is everybody knows all the big plays from last year, and they know the Saquan jumping over this, they know Mahomes this. We try to champion like really incredible plays on crappy teams that will be immediately forgotten. And to that note, I don't know how many people remember Jets Jags last year. It doesn't jump off the marquee. Look at the play that DeVante Adams made on the far sideline. This is the stupidest catch. It reminds me of Mario Manningham from ELI in the Super Bowl. It's a perfect throw from Rogers. I mean, we're gonna show every angle of this. It is a ridiculous toe tap over the shoulder. Willie Mays Jets, Jags. Who cares about this game catch? And this is a guy who is thirty two years old. Now this is my favorite. I go, ah, that's not normal. You're not supposed to do that ever. And now he is going to play with Matthew Stafford in the post Cooper Cup era. The combined age of these two guys is pushing seventy. It's really close. And yet with all the young talent and all the exciting young quarterbacks. I want to see more of this at SOFI Stadium because DeVante. When I saw this Instagram clip, I was like, God, I forgot how it's good. Davante is because the Jets was us a disaster last year. Now he's in a team who will be in the playoffs. I always blind picked the Rams for the playoffs. Every McBay team will go to the playoffs, so I think Devonte will be back and doing all the Cooper Cup stuff. That's my combination. This is a fantastic tweet from Michael Parsons. I have no snarky response, no skeptical comeback. This is all positive. There's twenty six exclamation points. I'll be there. I never miss teammates preparation and that he's not any sucker either. He's still saying it's in the owner's hands. He calls out the Jones family, and then he says, super Bowl, I am so encouraged by this at a time when it could have gone really negative and dark, and when it seems like everything is and always with the Cowboys, there's going to be money. This and hold out this. He zagged hard on this. This is a positive thing to say that I will be there. I do want to be paid, but teammates support like I feel like this should be put up in a banner somewhere as everyone to look at, just a positive sentiment about I understand you want to get your money, and you should, but there are ways to go about it. You're not doing some petty nonsense like unfollowing the team on Instagram or subtweeting. He just says no. He screams, I'm there. I love my teammates. I want to win a Super Bowl. Please pay me, but do it. I mean, I'm in New York. It's like Tom Thibodeaux just gets fired. It's all over the back. I can't even turn around the other side of the newspaper. It's so bad and so offensive and so disgusting. I won't even show it to you. Michael Parsons, who gets the media, who understands how to work it, I think has never ever worked it better. Everyone's in his corner. Now everyone's gonna be like, Micah, you're right, you should get paid. You're great, and look at what a great attitude you have. Great great media by Michael Parsons. I'm in Presston proud. Here's the problem with TJ Watt, and there is one. TJ Watts never won a playoff game, and it's a crazy thing to say. Micky Fitzpatrick has never won a playoff game. There's problems with their team at large, where it's not all Rosie and Mary and Steeler Land. You know the era we're in right now. They get in the playoffs and lose every single year. A guy that good who's never won a playoff game is crazy, but it's listen. I think that they will not let him leave. He is a born and bred Steeler. You know you saw JJ leave and play with Arizona at the end. But I wouldn't compare the Houston Texans to the Pittsburgh Steelers and to how they do business so there's a lot of ways to unpack this, but obviously with the Steelers thing, kind of all roads lead to the quarterback.

Somebody's got to say the Ravens, So somebody's got to say the Bills, because this is just what we do in this era. And then every year they lose to the Chiefs. But maybe it'll be different this year. I will take door number three because I'm going to say the Bengals because the Bengals have done it. The Bengals have beaten him, they have dethroned him, they have taken him out.
