The Kansas City Chiefs are heading to the Super Bowl for a rematch against the Philadelphia Eagles, who are looking to punish them on the ground. Meanwhile, in the NBA, Jimmy Butler wants out of Miami, and De'Aaron Fox is seeking a trade from the Sacramento Kings. The Eagles' quarterback, Jalen Hurts, is a key factor in their success, and the team's strong offensive line is a major advantage. The Chiefs, led by Patrick Mahomes and Andy Reid, are looking to win their third Super Bowl in four years, but the Eagles are determined to stop them.

It is the JR Sport Brief Show here with you coast to coast on the Infinity Sports Network. I'm coming to you live from Atlanta, Georgia.

Thank you to everybody tuned in all across North America. It's Tuesday. You've been sitting here for an hour.

I'll be hanging out with you for three more hours. This show gets started every weekday, 6 p.m. Eastern, 3 Pacific. We've had an interesting first hour already.

What else is new? People hate the Kansas City Chiefs. We had a caller who says he'd rather a meteor hit Earth than watch the Chiefs again. We talked about the New York Jets owner, Woody Johnson. He says that he's going to try to be a better owner. Wow, he should call Jerry Jones and give him some advice. It appears that we have another disgruntled NBA star.

I mean, nobody's as disgruntled as Jimmy Butler, but looks like D'Aaron Fox wants out from Sacramento. The Steelers looks like they have a goal when it comes to the quarterback position. Is it Fields?

Is it Wilson? We'll get into it. Talk some NFL with Ross Tucker from CBS and Westwood One.

He'll join us in about 40 minutes from now. Talk about NFL coaches. We got into Aaron Glenn. Which NFL coach who got a job this week is in the best position to succeed?

We have so much to get into. How about Andre Iguodala is getting his jersey retired with Golden State? Okay. Paul brothers are going to fight each other. Jake Paul and Logan. Yeah, Logan and Jake. Brothers fighting.

Okay, whatever. Modern day Cain and Abel. Well, now that I think about it, they didn't fight, just one killed the other, right? You know how that happened? That's right.

Oh boy. That would be quite the show. What if one of the Paul brothers killed the other one? I mean, I don't know.

How can I say this? Do we need to get knives? At least it'd be more real than any other Jake Paul fight we've ever seen. Oh, like when he fought Nate Robinson. Or most recently, Mike Tyson.

You can put fight in air quotes with that. Yeah. Did Nate Robinson find a kidney yet? It's not a joke. I know. I know.

I don't mean to laugh, but the way it was just posed. Former NBA player Nate Robinson said he needs to help find a kidney donor soon as he battles life threatening. Oh, damn. Damn. Damn. This was in June of last year. I hope he found that kidney.

I hope he did. Wow. Oh, Hey, it was an update from Oh, yesterday. This is really yesterday. Hey, you can never trust things on the internet. Nope. So six months ago, he received thousands of kidney donor offers.

I don't know what that means in January, but, um, good luck to, uh, to Nate Robinson. All right. Hey, what the hell?

What were we doing now again? But we were talking about the Paul brothers. Oh yeah.

You were hoping that one of them no shift up. No, no. Hope is a stretch there.

You reference Cain and Abel. And I said, Oh, all I said was that that'd be more real than anything we've seen before. That's all. I'm not rooting for someone to die.

Please. You're correct. You're correct.

Um, yeah, I don't, I need to freshen up. Didn't Cain. How did, did he stab the brother?

Right? Can't step. Did he stab him? I mean, this is in biblical time, so I, I, yeah, probably can't shoot him.

I was, there's no guns back then arrow arrow rock. You throw them off to choke. You gotta be kidding me. You throw them off a mountain. Thank you.

We're going to have somebody calling us up. We, we gotta, uh, how did he, are you sure Cain won? Cain killed his brother. Cain killed Abel by striking him with a weapon. Hmm. Though the exact method is not explicitly stated. Many interpretations depict Cain using a rock or piece of wood to kill his brother.

As the story in Genesis does not specify the murder weapon used. And there we have it. Okay.

Yep. Well, they will brand Hickey. They're going to brand this white Cain versus Abel. Oh God. They're going to call it for them to powder puff in there and slap wrists, slap box, slap wrists. You know, I have a visual.

Two brothers enter one leaves alive. And then there's, you gotta, you gotta make your money somehow. I guess I, I, I tweeted this out. I said, they've had enough sham fights. Now they got to fight each other to make money, whatever, whatever works. Hickey of me. And you could go outside and make millions of dollars by fighting.

I'd do it. We need you to get a nice cut. Kimbo slice kind of set the, uh, set the ground for that, right? Now he's not, now he's not he's not about to say now he is not here. No, I know. That's a, that was an interesting fellow early.

He, if there was an internet hall of fame, you'd have to put Kimbo slice in it. A hundred percent. Those grainy, those grainy videos and beaten up people in Miami. Oh my God.

Just going into random backyards. That was wild. That was just past, that was in between, uh, what was that?

Would you say my space transitioning into YouTube era of internet when the video was actually a good enough to work, but still grainy. And I think Kimbo slice actually has a son who is a legit MMA fighter. Uh, I don't know if he's any good, but Hey, you gotta make your money how you can. Yeah. Uh, Kimbo slice Jr. Baby slice. Okay.

Okay. That's a good nickname. Not a bad name.

Baby slice. Yeah. Good for him. Eight five five.

He looks just like Kimbo too. Damn. Eight five five two one two 42 27. Marcus here from Illinois.

He's also a baby slice. What's up, Mark? Hey, how are you guys doing? Hey, Hey Mark. Hey, what I want to talk about was two years ago, they want to talk about, uh, the rematch.

Well, last two years ago, it was in Arizona. Oh, you're talking about the super bowl. Okay. All right. Yeah.

Sorry guys. Big Eagles fan. Um, two years ago, it was in Arizona that your Eagles were tied with the 84, 85 bears, I believe right around one, one behind or one ahead of back in the season. So in Arizona, they have the grass field that they can roll out supposedly from what I heard is they watered that field down and they're supposed to roll it out, let the sun dry it out and roll it back in. Well, from what I understand, they didn't let it dry. And I find it hard to believe that the Eagles didn't get one sack during that game.

And, uh, Oh my God. What are we rehashing the super bowl from two years or what's that have to do with today? You think they're going to sabotage the field in new Orleans? I mean, at least what are you talking about?

No, I know it's her. I'm not worried. I'm not worried about that. Another point of that whole story is there. I don't think there was one single holding call in that whole game.

One holding penalty until the final, final two minutes, fourth down when Bradbury barely hooked the guy's belly. Well, well, Mark, please relate that to today. To today. I don't think it matters today. I think that our team's still superior.

I think our team was superior that year. Here's a better question. Why are you bringing it up? No one ever really talks about that.

Oh, it's done. Why do we want to talk about that man? They brutalized that old man for like weeks because of the field. The guy who was in charge of that field was like 95 years old and all he did was catch flat.

And now you're telling, and now you're telling us two years later that nobody really talks. The game is over. Why do I want to talk about the wet field? Unless you're going to tell me they're going to sabotage the field in a week and a half. Like, what does it matter? It doesn't matter. Eagles just played in three inches of snow in Philadelphia against the Rams the other day.

There was more slipping in that Superbowl in Arizona than the Eagles playing in three or four inches of snow the other day against the versus the Rams. Thanks, Mark. Okay. All right. Well, enjoy the game. All right. Hey, can I say one more thing?

Not really. Thank you, Mark, for calling from Illinois. Oh my God. Oh my goodness. Whoa. Oh.

Man, what do I even say to that? Like, what, why did he bring it up if there was no point? He said he brought it up because nobody talks about it. Well, who's going to talk about it and for what? Like every day?

Like that Super Bowl was two years ago. Was somebody supposed to just bring it up every day? Was somebody supposed to bring it up yesterday?

Like, what are we? Yeah. Why didn't Tony Romo bring it up in the broadcast? You know, when we saw the Chiefs win. Oh, Jim, Jim, we got the rematch, Jim. Oh, remember the field two years ago, Jim? The slippery, slippery grass game. Okay. The next time anybody hears anything and I don't know, maybe somebody will sit down and do a feature on it.

There's nothing wrong with that. The last time these two teams met, the field was wet in Arizona. Maybe somebody will do a feature on it. I venture to tell you the next time we hear anything about the field is, um, never. The only way I think we'll hear about the field in New Orleans is if they put too much damn paint on it and it's slippery. And the only reason we'll figure that out is there's some stupid disaster before the game or during the game. Oh man, you got to watch out for the logo on the field. The Superbowl logo is painted in green and red and it's slippery.

I don't know who cares, man. Oh look, even the guy, that old man who did the field, he don't even want to hear about this. Didn't he have a nickname, Mickey? Like he was like the, the, the dawn of grass or something like that, right?

I think I could be wrong. A sod father? The sod father. Great nickname. The sod father.

Oh no. And he's like a hundred years old right now. All he did was water grass. Sod father, Superbowl. What was this guy? George Toma.

Oh my God. Toma is one of the few surviving people to have attended every Superbowl game from 67 to 23. He, the sod father, by the way, he blamed the NFL for the field. He's the groundskeeper for the Kansas City Chiefs and the Royals. And is he retired? Is he done? Poor guy. He blamed them for failing to sand the surface properly in a timely manner, covering the field with a tarp while it was still wet, giving it a foul smell.

Oh, it says everybody else's fault, of course. Toma officially retired from full-time work in 1999. Oh, so it just popped. Mickey, that's not a bad gig, right? Oh my God. Oh, he's 95 years old today. He turns, he turns 96 on Sunday.

Wow. And they want to blame this man for how bad the field was. Like I was 93, like get over it.

Get somebody else to do it. They don't got a better landscape around than a 93 year old guy. Well, that's also, I was going to say begs the question, what do we still do in employing this guy? You can't find anybody else. You have to ask the 93 year old guy to take care of the field.

There's nobody. Well, at 93 years old, maybe he's seen every blade of grass there is to see. I don't know. I'd hope so.

That's a possibility. We got all this, they got all, Hickey, let's think about this for a minute. That field, I think they might do this in Vegas as well. I think I haven't seen the field.

So how about this Hickey? Out in Phoenix, were you there in Phoenix for the Superbowl? I was. Did you, did you get the invite to go see the stupid field? I did, but it was so far away and we were trying to pre-record interviews that day. I did not make it over. I said, screw this. Hickey, it was like early in the morning. You went?

No. It's like, Hey, come see the field. And it's just like, Oh, that sounds cool.

I knew exactly where the stadium was. I'm like, you want me to leave downtown? I am basically across the street where I need to be. And you want me to get in a car to go into the burbs, to look at grass in the stadium and just to talk to the side father.

And then you want me to turn around and come back into the city and you want me to do all of this at like 9 AM? No, thank you. No thanks. What would you ask the side father if you had to interview him? Nothing.

Hickey those, those things are like nothing, right? Like what do you ask a guy who waters grass all day for NFL team? How long did it take? How's the grass looking? I don't know. You tell me you're looking at it too.

Oh, and what, what, what PR notes do they give you? Oh man, the grass was outside for 50 days, 40 days or 40 nights. No one has ever touched this grass. This grass has been imported from Kentucky. Uh, yeah.

I'm like, what are you? I don't need that crap. And then come to find out during the game, the grass was a complete disaster. And then we got a caller who wants to talk about the grass debacle from two years ago. No thanks, bro.

You should be happy. We spent this much time talking about grass, the sod father, all this technology, 93 year old dude. Do they have a turf father? You think like who's going to take care of the saints, the rubber, the rubber, who's going to take care of the pallets.

I balance that, you know, I don't know. Where's the turf coming from? Who's in charge of that? Where did the tires come from?

Salvaged from made in America, made in America, salvaged from, I don't know, something in Louisiana grabbed from the greatest job you can find. These towers are Mercedes Benz's. All right. Yeah. Well that's the name of the arena, right? Mercedes Benz, the stadium.

Yep. Mercedes Benz super dome. The super dome used to just be the super dome. And now it has a giant Mercedes emblem slapped at the top of it, man. You could just brand everything now.

Hand cooked tires, the official tire of the NFL field. Yeah. Might as well.

Everything is about sustainability now. You got to reuse it. What a world. Hate them pellets. End up in your clothes, getting your shoes.

Yeah. That's why I don't, I don't do that stuff no more. Let's run outside. My body allows it. 855-212-4227.

That's 855-212-4227. Speaking of being allowed to do anything. And Jimmy Butler, he still hasn't gotten his trade. Not allowed to leave. Not yet.

Then we got another NBA star, less successful. He apparently wants out from his current location. I'm going to tell you who it is on the other side of the break. Phone lines open.

If you want to give me a holler 855-212-4227. It's the JR sport reshow on the infinity sports network. You're listening to the JR sport brief. It's the JR sport brief. Show here with you coast to coast on the infinity sports network. I need to let you know about the defensive player of the week sponsored by the Navy federal credit union who probably serves the armed forces, DOD veterans and their families. Their members are the mission.

You can learn more at navy federal.org. Last night, Anthony Davis of the Los Angeles Lakers. He lost his damn mind. He had 42 points, 23 rebounds in LA. They hung on to beat the Hornets 112 to 107.

What a miserable ass team. The Hornets are Anthony Davis. He started off hot. 21 points, 11 rebounds in the first quarter alone. And he made it through the game. Did not sprain a pinky.

Did not ship a fingernail. Did not sprain a toe. He made it through the game. Good for Anthony Davis.

I would say for the past, I don't know, year or so, he's, he's been relatively healthy. Knock on wood. Good for him.

And speaking of another team in California, how about this? We got another NBA star. I guess we can call him a star. He's been an all star one time. D'Aaron Fox is ready to move on from the Sacramento Kings.

According to Sham Sharania, D'Aaron Fox, who this season for the Sacramento Kings is averaging 25 points, five rebounds and six assists. He's ready to move on. He's eligible to be a free agent next year. And his agent, LeBron James agent, same guy. He basically said he might as well cut bait now. It would be advisable to move him.

This is from his agent, Rich Paul. Now, in Sacramento Kings, they just got rid of their coach, Mike Brown. They went on a little bit of a winning streak. They're still mediocre as hell. They got a record right now of 20 points. They got a little bit of a winning streak. They're still mediocre as hell. They got a record right now of 24 and 22.

24 and 22. Like they're average. Middle of the road. Mediocre.

I didn't believe in none of that light the beam stuff. Anyway, they ain't playing no defense. You got some bonus out there.

The guy's getting you 20, 20 games. D'Aaron Fox. But they're just running in place. Their owner is kind of nutty himself. Nikki, remember their owner? At one point, he was advocating that the Kings play five on four basketball because it works in like a junior league or something like that. No, he said that?

Yeah, Vivek Ranadive. They said he was joking. Oh, he's like, I was coaching my kids and we had one kid play back toward the basket. So it was four on five. And so we had a guy ahead.

We just threw the outlet pass. That's what he was saying. Hmm.

What do I know? I'm not a billionaire. I'm not a tech billionaire.

He's he sells tech and other guy. I mean, never just. Let's think about everything at all. What? That's funny.

No, just these guys. How's Hickey? Let's let's let's do a quiz here.

Not a quiz. Why does Mark Davis on NFL team? Because of his daddy.

OK. And Woody Johnson owns a team. Why? Because of his daddy and Dolan on the Knicks.

He owns the Rangers and Knicks. Why? Oh, especially because of his daddy. Oh, my God.

Oh, man. And then we got guys who not because of their daddy. They just got money. Jerry Jones, oil guy. Vivek Ranadive, owner of the Sacramento Kings.

He sell technology. Mark Cuban. Mark Cuban.

Mark Cuban. Cuban is what you put in your salad, right, Nicky? Right. That's right.

A spice that Cuban's human can be the next thing on Shark Tank. Yeah. Well, does that still come on? Shark Tank is still a thing. I don't know anymore.

That's what he sees. I watch much TV anymore. Yeah, I don't know. I don't know what's on Shark Tank. But Mark Cuban, former owner of the Dallas Mavericks, he sold tech.

He's one of the first dudes involved in the dotcom boom. You know, people, people got money from variety of reasons. But it's just, do you know what you're doing?

You're just buying a team. Like, why are you giving advice? Have you ever picked up a basketball in your life? You're advocating for how the Sacramento Kings should play?

Okay, whatever. Anyway, it's been reported that he has a preferred destination in San Antonio Spurs. And why not? Who wouldn't want to play in San Antonio Spurs? Who wouldn't want to play with Victor Wenbanyama?

I could play with Victor Wenbanyama. All you got to do is throw the ball up somewhere near the vicinity. Forget the hoop. Somewhere near the basket. Somewhere in the air and that giant freak of nature can grab the ball and just dunk it. I want to play with a guy seven foot five with a 20 foot wingspan.

Sign me up. Good for De'Aaron Fox. Now whether or not he's going to help these San Antonio Spurs do something into the future is TBD. He's 27 years old. He's been an All-Star once. He's not the greatest shooter in the world. Plays great defense. Has good hands.

A little undersized. And it's crazy to think that he's been in the league since 2017. I remember interviewing him before he was drafted.

He'd been around a while now. The Sacramento Kings are just another dumpster fire in the world of sports. There you go. Before they went to the playoffs after that stupid beam situation a couple years ago, they were tied with the New York Jets for one of these streaks of not making the playoffs. The New York Jets have now surpassed them.

But good for the Kings. They're just... Doug Christie. Hickey, I'll never forget Doug Christie. Do you remember this?

Doug Christie, while he was playing, there was this whole thing where his wife had him on a chain and a leash. No, I do not remember that. What? Yeah. I want to say, and I don't want to make it up. I remember this very clearly.

His wife had him on a chain and leash like one of these bedroom things that typically people keep in a bedroom. Right. They did it outside. Huh? Yeah. There we go. This picture? Oh yeah.

I found it. Yeah. Wow. Yeah. Jackie. Yeah.

That's his wife, Jackie. That's right. Yeah.

I have a repressed memory of Doug Christie being on a chain with his wife. Uh-huh. Yeah. Just Google it, Hickey. It's for work research.

Nothing bad will come up. Let's see here. Yeah. Doug Christie on a leash. Uh, oh yeah. That's one of the, oh yep. It's a Louis Vuitton leash, isn't it?

Right? That is stylish. It's a fancy leash. Those are some high boots she's wearing too. Yeah. Well, you can imagine what she does with the boots.

Uh, I'm sure that's not the only leather item that was used in there. I'm sure that both Doug Christie and Rex Ryan, they might be good friends. Let's just put it that way. Imagine this being your coach. You think if he has, if he goes on a losing streak and he starts cursing the guys out, somebody just blows that up and puts that in a, in a, in a practice gym. That feels like it's hard to be taken seriously, huh?

What? You take your coach serious? Cause he's on, well, you heard Rex Ryan, what he said about the feet. He said his players were coming up to him and they were just telling him, Hey coach, I like feet too. Saying maybe that's why he got promoted. Like some, you know, they're relatable.

Oh, Doug Christie? Yeah. Players can, you know.

The players like to be on leashes too. Maybe, maybe. I don't know.

I don't know. I've never been on a leash. Have you been on a leash before? No siree. Yeah.

I've never been on a leash. Doug Christie. It might be fun. Maybe you got to be next press conference.

Next seven comes to Atlanta. Doug. Hey, quick question.

I saw, I remember, you know, you being on that leash in 1996. Uh, you know, do you still do that? Is it fun?

Should I try it? That's a big, Doug Christie's like six foot seven, bro. More of the spikes on it, you know, I'm going to do some more Googling in the break. I figured some things out, you know, we're going to, we're going to talk about a guy. I guess he feels like he's on a leash. We're going to get into a Jimmy Butler later on in the show because outside of the Aaron Fox, trying to leave Sacramento, we know Jimmy Butler, uh, he's on Pat Riley's leash in Miami and he wants to go. We'll give you an update on that and so much more. Matter of fact, we're going to take a break. When we come back, we're going to talk some NFL Ross Tucker is going to join us.

Yeah. You can catch him on CBS. You can catch him on Westwood one. He is everywhere. We're going to talk some NFL with Ross on the other side of the break.

You're listening to the JR sport brief. Hey Ross, what's going on with you? I'm doing great, man. How about yourself? I'm good. Thank you for taking the time to hop on. As I mentioned, right before you joined us, host of the Ross Tucker football podcast, people can catch you on CBS.

People can catch you on Westwood one. You're all over the place. Here's the first question for you, Ross. How surprised are you? If at all, that we got a super bowl rematch from two years ago.

Yeah. I mean, not, not that surprised. I guess I thought there were five teams when the playoffs started that I could realistically picture going to the super bowl and winning it. And these were two of them. I mean, the other three would be the lions, the Ravens and the bills. And those are the five teams I thought were serious super bowl contenders. And so two of them are here.

Yeah. The biggest surprise is the lions losing the commanders the way they did and the AFC. I'm not really surprised by how any of that unfolded.

Well, Ross, why do you think folks are so sick and tired of it? The Kansas city chiefs, I feel like they haven't even been around that long and people are sick of them. Like they've been the Patriots for 20 years.

Yeah. I mean, they've had a really good run of six years now. I mean, uh, really seven. I mean, they they've been the AFC championship game seven straight years, super bowl, six straight years, you know, they have a chance to win three in a row and their fifth overall. I mean, that that's a lot. It's a lot of winning and people are always going to hate and get sick of the team. That's doing that much winning, especially in a short time period, especially in the fashion in which they do it, which is so many close games where we can all see if one play here or there went differently, they wouldn't win it, but they don't, they don't go that those plays don't go the other way and they do win.

And it's extremely impressive. I, um, yeah, I think it's more fun to just kind of appreciate how, uh, appreciate greatness than to be a hater. You know, I mean, as a former player, would I love to see some fresh blood? Yeah, man. I mean, I, I want as many new guys as possible to know what it's like to play in a super bowl to what, know what it's like to win a super bowl, but you got to earn it. It's not easy. And the fact that they keep getting it done is incredibly impressive and we might not ever see it again in my lifetime.

So I'm going to, I'm going to try to appreciate it. Ross, you played in the NFL real familiar with what goes on in the trenches. We, we saw and read about all the injuries to the Philadelphia Eagles, also to their quarterback with the knee that he didn't wear the brace on. What do you think after two weeks, should we still have some concerns? Of course, everybody is beat up, but what should we look for heading into the game for the Eagles in that front line? Well, you know, I don't have any inside info there. I mean, obviously you could tell after the game that Juergens was hurting, but the fact that he finished the game would lead me to think that he'd probably be available at least for the super bowl land in Dickerson.

The fact that he was able to finish the first half, you know, wasn't carted off, wasn't carried, you know, anything like that leads me to believe there's a decent chance he'll be available too. So I, I would, if I had to bet on it, I mean, I, I have no idea, but if I had to bet on, I would bet on the Eagles having the same starting offensive line. You know, they've had almost all season, which is the best in the league. And, you know, I've said this elsewhere. I'll say it again. I think it's the most physically impressive offensive line I've ever seen. I mean, if you just go height, weight, speed, athleticism ratio, crazy. I mean, I played for five teams. I played for five teams. I've been around a lot of dudes.

I've been a lot, run a lot of freak shows, but their whole line is a freak show. I mean, my lot is six, eight 380 moves well, left guard lane and Dickerson six, six, I don't know, three 60, three 55 at least. And, uh, is very athletic cam Juergens. The center is like a different type of animal is like a Jason Kelsey type of freak athlete that can run a 4.8, 40 at 300 pounds played tight end at Nebraska. The right guard Mackay backed in six, seven and a half, three 65, you know, the smallest of the guards and tackles is a hall of Famer lane. Johnson's like the run of the litter at six, six, three 35 with like a six pack.

Yeah. And making life a little bit easier for say Quan Barkley, Ross Tucker's joining us here on the JR sport brief show. Well, say Quan Barkley, that's something that the Eagles didn't have two years ago when they were out in Glendale, Arizona. What do you think this game is going to look like?

We know they want to punish you on the ground. We know that Hertz is criticized for not always throwing the ball. How can they end up on the positive side as opposed to two years ago? Well, so first of all, I think they're going to have to have Hertz play as well as he did against the commanders. I mean, that was the best he had played in a couple months.

So that was highly encouraging and they need that to happen again. You know, I don't think they're going to be able to win this game unless Hertz plays really well to your point though. I mean, he played really well three years ago and they still lost. They did not play great defensively that day. They had a costly turnover for a touchdown. You know, they did not do a great job in special teams. Those things can happen. And honestly, they got to try to find a way to make it not a one score game.

I mean, you know, if it's a close game, one score game, I, I don't know how you go against Andy Reid and Patrick Mahomes. They've won 17 in a row. It's kind of crazy. Cause I do a betting show on Tuesdays, a betting podcast called the even money betting podcast, which is really popular. And my co-host today said the odds of winning 17 straight one score games is like one in 125,000.

Like it's that rare. Now, obviously the chiefs are very good. So it gives, you know, their odds are probably a little bit better of doing it than that, but it's still incredibly, incredibly impressive what they've been able to do. So the Eagles got to kind of find a way to pull away, you know, or have a two score lead. And I think if it's a close game, if it's a close game late, you got to go with the better quarterback and the better head coach. And, and, and so far, based on what we've seen, that would be Andy Reid and Patrick Mahomes. Well, Ross, let me ask you this, the teams that we will not see specifically in the AFC, no Ravens, no Bills, they have MVP candidates of their own. Is there any team in the AFC that's anywhere close to potentially, you know, upsetting them and moving them out the way, or do, is it just the Bills and the Ravens and they can never do it? Well, it's the Bills and the Ravens. The only other team that's shown that they actually can do it is the Bengals. They obviously need to retool a little bit and, and get better.

And if they do, they could get back in the mix. The Bills and Ravens are, are certainly capable from a talent standpoint, from a quarterback standpoint, but for whatever reason in these games, you know, there, there are opportunities to make plays and the team is playing against the Chiefs just don't make them. I mean, Cole Bishop gets the ball ripped out of his hands and Dalton Kincaid doesn't catch it. And Josh Allen misses, you know, Curtis Samuel on a crossing route where there's nobody within 10 yards of him.

They get stuffed three times on quarterback sneaks. I mean, that game was, was there to be won and, and the Bills weren't able to take it. Yeah, I know Josh, the look on Josh Allen's face.

I mean, you could, you could write a whole book on that expression. Ross Tucker is joining us here from the Ross Tucker Football Podcast. When you think about what we have, if we hit the fast forward button just a little bit, there are teams that are hiring new head coaches. There are teams that are approaching the draft. We got teams thinking about QBs like the Steelers. We have all these coaches that have been hired. What are you looking for forward to the most once the Super Bowl is over? Because that's, that's draft time and free agency.

What should we pay attention to over the summertime? Yeah, I mean, it feels like, again, there's a lot of teams that need a quarterback and are going to have new starting quarterbacks. I mean, you think about just off the top of my head, it's like giants, probably jets, Titans, um, Browns, you know, there's a bunch of teams that are going to have new guys.

You know, I don't know about the Steelers. There's a lot of talk about Russell Wilson, maybe going to the Raiders. I mean, there's the Raiders obviously need a new quarterback. So that's always the most, uh, the most interesting aspect of it is what all these teams that need new quarterbacks end up doing.

And whether it's free agency, like a Sam Darnold, whether they trade for somebody, you know, whether it's the draft with Chidora Sanders or Cam Ward, I think that's always the most intrigued because pretty clearly it's, you know, by far the most important position, right? I mean, it just is. Yeah. You don't got a quarterback. You don't have nothing. We got plenty of time to, to get to that. I know you're going to be plenty of busy heading into New Orleans. You're a busy guy. There's so much that you always have going on, Ross. Tell us about my front page story.com. Fill us in. Well, it's so cool, Jar.

To be able to say to her, I wanted something special for you. So I had a story written about you. That just sounds absolutely amazing. And then when she reads the quotes and make sure you say you just don't thank her enough for a little thing she does for you and the family, they cry almost every time.
