What does Aaron Donald’s formal tryout with the Rams mean for his comeback?
Live from New York, the show that's talking sports movies. Yeah. The Christian Bale, Mark Wahlberg boxing movie. Dark Knight. No. No, that's The Fighter. The Fighter. That's great.
Can I tell you, dead last in the sports movie conversation. Dead last. Million Dollar Baby. What?
I just said that was pretty good. You don't think that's good?
It's really good for the first 90 minutes. Spoiler alert, kids. And then the main character gets her neck broken, and it's awful. That's awful. It won Best Picture. I'm here telling you, it's awful. It's a good movie.
Have you seen The Wrestler? What? The Wrestler? Oh. I think I did. Was that recent? Moderately recently. By one of the first MMA guys? No. Okay. I did see that, though, the rest. Check for our full list. We'll be on Instagram in a couple days.
I did see that.
The rest of it was good.
Who's willing to guarantee a Chiefs bounce back season? I'll do it in about two minutes. One person here had no doubts. One person here has a fair amount. Even you will say, you know what, someone here will give their reasons, and you'll say, that's not unfair. Meanwhile, Aaron Donald works out with the Rams.
What are we waiting for? He's back.
What would his unretirement mean for this defense?
Donald's making a sack on a guy who hasn't been on that team in five years. Wow. I'm not saying – What about him getting Tom Brady? That's the last time the Bengals were relevant.
You know what? We're getting close here. I'll save it for the conversation. Okay. But we're getting close to it. Okay. The most motivational segment of all sports, the Bud List. Can't wait for this one.
Okay. All right.
By the way, classic one by me. What was it? That the Swifties were going to have my back against whatever Madison Beers fans are called. The Swifties mounted up on Twitter. Is there a rivalry there? Well, no, but I'm saying the beer fans, the Madison Beer fans mad at me and brew for yesterday, but luckily we're the Swifties show, and they roll deep, so we're fine.
Oddly, I'm the Olivia Rodrigo. That's right. That's where I go.
Yeah. Oh, I like her a lot.
Yeah. I don't know if she has like a huge fan base. What was her name?
Like Mary Allen May or whatever. Who's that? Drake May's wife. I thought we were talking about musical artists. Oh, okay.
Well, there you go. We're starting in Kansas City. Mahomes looks to be on track to start week one. That's good news. Past game coordinator saying it looks like the injury never even happened. Yep. Take a listen.
You hate anything that Patrick does to say it surprises you because he's always pushing the limits of physically what he can do with the football and just the recovery timetable from the injuries that he's had. But still, I mean, I haven't seen anything with the knee out there on the field that would lend itself to show any sort of hangover or any sort of setbacks from the season. So that, I mean, I hate to say I'm surprised by that, but it's just non-existent, any sort of knee issues, which has been incredible.
Great news. Are you willing to guarantee a Chiefs bounce back season?
Absolutely. And before I get into why, can we stay on Mahomes being basically a full go already for a moment? One of the reasons I was so confident about his timeline was because And I think maybe because Brew, he doesn't have NBA guys that are freak athletes. You just see it. You know, they visually look different. Some of the NFL guys that are freak athletes like Cam Newton, they're just, you know, bigger. Adrian Peterson looked like at 16 years old he could play in the NFL. Patrick doesn't have some of those physical traits that lead freak athlete to be applied to him. But his history of, the year they won their first Super Bowl, he dislocated his kneecap. He played 18 days later, 17 days later, something like that.
We saw him suffer a brutal high ankle sprain during the playoffs of a different Super Bowl run. And not only did he not miss any time, two of the biggest plays of that postseason were Mahomes' scrambles. There was never a doubt to me that whatever the shortest possible rehab timeline would be for a player at his position, at his age that suffered this injury, he would have it.
