Why is Patrick Mahomes considered unstoppable in the NFL?

Dave Damoshek 0:00
A few weeks ago here on Football America, we asked if we're watching right now the GOATs in the four major sports. Last Friday, right after we wrapped up episode number 17, in which we debated which number 17 is ultimately better, Josh Allen or Phil Rivers, number 17, Shohei Itani, number 17, had maybe the greatest postseason game in baseball history. It's a football show, but we do like the other sports as well. And so we honor the greatest MLB-er of all time. It is clearly Otani now. And we may also be guilty of turning our nose up or getting distracted by other pro football players. We are looking at arguably the greatest quarterback, at least in pro football history. I hesitate to say Mahomes is the best

football player ever. I don't know.

What birthday story does Dave's mom share about Mike Ditka?

Mahomes vs. Lawrence Taylor is on par with comparing Patrick Waugh and Mario Lemieux. They're both French Canadians who know how to skate, but that's about the extent of it. Anywho, best ever in football. Goats! Even if you don't think Mahomes is the greatest QB ever, we can now all agree he's still good. And that's bad news for the rest of the AFC. Is this really going to happen all over again with the Chiefs? All of a sudden, as much as we've tried talking ourselves out of KC, they look like the conference's best team. Hate to go back to Mahomes and Stanos, but he does feel inevitable. And just imagine if Mahomes and his pals do get back to the Super Bowl.

How do Tarantino and P.T. Anderson compare in film?

Then it'd be four in a row. And unlike the Bills in the 90s, they've actually won some of those games. So get ready, everybody. We can get distracted by Lamar Jackson and Josh Allen. But number 17, Josh Allen better steal himself deep down in places he doesn't like talking about. He knows Patrick Mahomes is inevitable. Let's start the show.

Hi and hello, my fellow football Americans. Welcome to episode 18 of Football America. We have much to talk about reacting to NFL Week 7. Maybe some college football, too, with our pal Jeff Schwartz. Some points per game for you. And also, in his debut on Football America, one of my favorite fellas in the business, Mark Sesler from Heed the Call on his way. He'll be participating in the Jerk List. Maybe some movie talk as well. In the meantime, like I say... Fellas, Gino and Mike. Mike and Gino, it is episode 18. We have to honor the greatest football player to wear that jersey number. Obviously, a short discussion required here today.

What is the Jerk List and who gets called out this week?

Dave Damoshek 2:25
It's Peyton Manning, right?
Gino Fuentes 2:27
That's an easy one. It's got to be Peyton Manning. The only one I could even think that might be in his stratosphere is Justin Jefferson if you project his career out based on what he's done so far.
Mike Fuentes 2:35
Yeah, you got to win a Super Bowl, though. So it's easily Peyton Manning, even though he was a complete liability in that Super Bowl with the Broncos and Von Miller carried him to the finish line. It's Peyton Manning.

We agree Caleb Williams is not headed to the Hall of Fame. He wears No. 18. Randall Cobb. Chaz Joyner wore the No. 18 for the Chargers. He's a Hall of Famer. Here's a crazy thing about the No. 18. Darryl Strawberry wore it. One of my favorite things, it's... sort of trivia is in 1988 no one under the sun who watched baseball would have believed that neither daryl strawberry nor doc gooden would make the baseball hall of fame and yet here we are hey a guy who is in the hall of fame is mike ditka and i just learned before we get the sessler in shorts here that um he's 86 years young uh mike ditka one of the legends in pro football lore and As it happens, I know somebody personally who grew up on the same block in Aliquippa, PA.

What are the current NFL team dynamics for the Chiefs and 49ers?

Dave Damoshek 3:32
That would be one Michelle Zubasic. You may know her best from my programs as Moe Damaschek. My mother, Moe, are you there?
Michelle Zubasic (Moe Damaschek) 3:40
I am here. Hi, Slug.
Dave Damoshek 3:42
Hello, how are you?
Michelle Zubasic (Moe Damaschek) 3:43
Good.
Dave Damoshek 3:44
Would you like to say hello to Mike or Gino? And by the way, if anybody's hearing... Hi, Mike and Gino.
Michelle Zubasic (Moe Damaschek) 3:48
It's nice to see you again.
Dave Damoshek 3:50
Hey, Mama Mo. Mama Mo. I like that. I do, too. It's funny that, Mo Mo, if you're hearing an echo, it's because old Mo happens to be in the room right next door to me here.
