We got to write a new script. So here's the thing on that. Oh, no. And now I'll just bring the mood of the room down. I actually think engaging in any of that is tangibly bad for our business. So I think the reason we all get these awesome jobs and platforms and opportunities is because people credibly believe in the sport.

And the fact that the players, the owner, the commissioner were all asked about this nonsense leading to the Super Bowl, I think was one of the true sour points of this NFL season. And again, the iconic image of this football game is Patrick Mahomes getting two hands dead to the face from Jalen Carter. And it's on NFL.com right now as like, what a play.

And so we all know there's missed calls in the NFL. It's a shame to me that the Dove Kleinmans of the world have created this as a legitimate talking point.

No, so here's the thing, and I don't mean to be harsh here, and I was joking the last time I was on about Jess being added to the rivals list, but maybe I shouldn't have been. I know you're kidding. I know you're like now patronizing me and like trying to act like I missed it. I know you're kidding. It's very rare a conversation goes on.

that i don't see everything that's happening in it um i am simply saying i think even the joking is tangibly bad for our industry so is jessica individually bad for the industry you did call her a doofus Name caller. Well, Doofus is, I think, the kindest of the insults. Okay. Throw that on the poll. All right.

No, so here's what I don't say anything I don't believe. Here's what I believe. I believe in that game, what played out, even though I don't think it's an on-paper mismatch, the mismatch between their offensive line and the Chiefs' defensive line was going to win Philadelphia the game. Patrick playing his worst game in a couple years is what led it to be a blowout.

And when you're saying if Patrick can't handle it, no one can handle it, that's why I brought up the 07 Patriots. It's because every other team, every other team that has had the weight of a three-peat on their shoulders has crumbled. And every other one crumbled at a stage earlier than the Super Bowl.

The closest a team ever came was the 99ers, who the third best player on their team on a very normal play, just fumbled the ball with minutes left and they lost. That's how they lost. So that like, I, I don't think it's an indictment on Patrick, but I do think it's the reality. And then every team that has gone for an undefeated season, except for Greg Cody's team, is 60 years ago.

He's supposed to be different, Nick. Well, hold on. He can be different than every other active quarterback and different than basically every other all-time quarterback and still not immune to any of this. I felt Brady choked in 07.

I think the moment got to the entire team. I do. But that's choking. Instead of saying you're wrong, you're saying your team choked. No, hold on. No, no, no. Hold on. I am definitively wrong. I thought they would win. I thought they would win by 10. I am not running from being wrong about this football game. What I am saying is I don't look at...
