He said, over 162 games, if we keep track of every call, it's going to be 50-50. 50% are going to go your way. 50% are not going to go your way. And you're only going to call me on the ones that don't go your way. But I receive a call on 100% of the calls because every call has one team that it doesn't go their way. So you have to understand that you calling me is not going to have any impact.
So you can keep doing it. This is when I was new to the game. Keep doing it. But when a call goes for you, why aren't you calling me to thank me for that? And so we would keep track. We actually had someone who we would, I wanted to know the truth. We being the Marlins. We the Marlins.
And I started this with the Expos actually, but we kept track because I wanted to know whether it was in my head when the owner would call and say, how can we never get a runner in from third base with under two outs? But every time the other team does, they score. Because it feels that way when you're a fan. And I wanted to get the facts. And the fact of the matter is that it is true.
That it's 50-50? It's basically 50-50.
A dynamic moment.
You know, if the NFL were scripting this, let me just say there's so much confusion right now in the media and in the fans. The NFL would want the Cowboys in the NFC Championship every year. They'd like them to play the Giants every year if that would be possible. The NBA would like the Knicks to be in the NBA Finals. That would be terrific.
And baseball would like the Dodgers and the Yankees to be in every single year and certainly not have the Yankees in it for the first time last year since 09. So all of this talk that everything's scripted and this is what the NFL plans, it's not exactly accurate. Are there calls that in theory have gone the Chiefs way? Yeah, but there's plenty of calls.
The Bills didn't lose because of the fourth down call. they didn't lose because of the incomplete pass that was ruled uh was it ruled an interception coca when the ball was on the ground or was that a reception and it was going to be an interception with bills chiefs that was a reception that was a reception that should have been interception
I just don't think that that level of conspiracy exists. And in terms of the hatred of Kansas City, I view hatred, A, as jealousy, and I view it as great currency. I want people to hate me. I want people to love me. I just want people to care. And that's always been the view.
Doesn't that happen with everyone? Everyone who's likable or successful has enemies because they want to bring them down a notch.
Good for movies, good for stories, good for books, good for life. You have to have people playing different parts. Bad for neighbors. That's a funny way to think about it. But yeah, I'm always, when you're casting something...
you we always say oh that's central casting for a villain or central casting for a hero there's always been that in every sort of story both fiction and non-fiction and sports is the same i never objected to a team being a villain or to a player being a villain. I didn't want a dirty player. That's very different. Dirty versus villainous.
And in terms of the worth of the broadcast, in terms of interest. Talk about Goliath, right?
I don't think you can be Goliath without having won previous fights. I think the one we remember is David, but I would assume he was the undefeated heavyweight champion of the world at the time. That's how I always pictured it.
Right, but that's the one you remember because that's Buster Douglas.
Mohunk? I've never heard the word mohunk, but I just assumed it was a Carolina thing. I was going to let it go. Normally you type when you don't understand a word. Like I noticed when I said Moe's, I believe you were typing to confirm thinking that I got it wrong. But how come when Skipper says Mohunk, your fingers aren't walking?
I'm upset with all that Chiefs hate. I really am. You resent the resentment. I do. I think that we all wish it were our team. It's like Bulls fans. Bulls fans in the 90s recognized how fortunate they were. They had gone through the Pistons, and now Jordan was winning six titles in eight years. And we all hated them. They were villains because they kept winning. But it's jealousy. Villainy.
People are just jealous.
Well, if you're a Raiders fan, you got to be upset to hear that because if you want someone running your team and your organization, that's a full-time job. And there's no question about it. To be good at running a football operation or a business operation, it can be your only job.
And in order to be the number one analyst for a network in football, that's got to be your full-time job during the season. It takes a week to prepare for a game. It requires an unbelievable amount of preparation. And I don't see how Tom Brady can do both. And that's been my position on Nothing Personal. It continues to be my position.
