00:00I feel like if Travis Kelsey plays out this new deal, he may need a nurse.
00:05He is.
00:06So, Curtis, I know you always, it's all cap things.
00:12But three years for Travis Kelsey?
00:15Like, what are we doing over there?
00:17Yeah, they're just spreading out the money.
00:20And he won't be, I mean, I'd be shocked if he played beyond this year.
00:23But it is, the Chiefs, I don't know about you guys,
00:26but didn't you kind of expect them, like, you know, 0-6, the Patriots lost to the Colts in the
00:30AFC Championship,
00:31and then they traded for Welker and Moss, and they had this big offseason?
00:35Like, I've been kind of, I don't know, they traded their best corner,
00:39they brought back, you know, a guy that's basically a grandpa.
00:43And they signed a running back.
00:45Yeah.
00:45Bizarre approach to the offseason.
00:47And your quarterback isn't even, you brought in Justin Fields, and we don't know if Mahomes will be ready.
00:51Well, maybe that running back will help him out, because Kenneth Walker III is good, he's talented.
00:56So, that's something that they've been looking for, to put with Patrick Mahomes,
01:00maybe to take some pressure off him, is that running game.
01:04And now they have their guy, you know, well, we expect him to be really good for the Kansas City
01:11Chiefs.
01:11I think it's more about who Mahomes is going to be throwing to, or do some of these guys take
01:16that next step?
01:17Yeah, I think to Curtis's point, though, it was like, through Mahomes' career, he had Tyreek Hill,
01:21and then he had Travis Kelsey, and now Travis Kelsey seems like he's almost just there as a celebrity presence
01:27for a year.
01:28Yeah.
01:28So, why haven't they done anything more?
01:30And then they haven't addressed the offensive line, which has been a major issue now for, like, two or three
01:35years.
01:35Yeah, I don't know what they're doing with Mahomes and why they're not, you know, trying to, like,
01:40why are they not a team that's in on A.J. Brown?
01:42You would think that, like, that's something that they would be in on,
01:45because you want to capitalize off of having him play at the level he's playing at for as long as
01:51he can play at that level.
01:52I know he's coming off the knee injury, but, you know, we've seen in the NFL with guys,
01:56like, guys bounce back from that relatively quickly.
01:59I mean, he should take a minimum deal to help the team,
02:03because the missus is, she's not struggling to pay the mortgage.
02:08Oh, Travis, yeah.
02:09You know what I'm saying?
02:10Yeah.
02:10And I think he did.
02:11I think that the whole contract for me is, like, for them to be like,
02:16all right, let's see what we're going to happen next year.
02:18We have your rights.
02:19If somehow, some way, we decide we want you to come back,
02:22at least we have something, you know, some plan in order.
02:26It's just a way to make sure he retires as a chief.
02:28That's it.
02:28Yeah.
02:29And by the way, like, wouldn't you say the Broncos had a better offseason than the Chiefs?
02:32Yes.
02:33And they won the division, got to the AFC Championship.
02:35Maybe would have gone to the Super Bowl if their quarterback didn't get hurt.
02:38I think the Broncos are a better team than the Chiefs.
02:40It's just shocking to me that you don't learn from the Patriots.
02:43Like, you're sitting here, you'd won three, you saw the Patriots go a decade in between titles,
02:48they tried to get cute with the contracts.
02:50Like, why wouldn't you use that as a guide to maybe say you need to invest?
02:55It's weird, the teams, like, I mean, we sit there and look at the Patriots, right?
02:59We think, offseason-wise, we feel good about it, but we feel like...
03:06Not great.
03:07Like, they didn't load up.
03:08Yeah, like, on offense, you felt like, where's the talent that you're supposed to add, right?
03:14We're talking about the Kansas City Chiefs and, you know, them not adding talent to help out Mahomes.
03:21Who's helping out Drake May?
03:24Okay.
03:24I got in a fight on NBC Sports Boston last Friday with Greg Bedard.
03:28Okay.
03:29About Romeo Dobbs.
03:30As I was saying, it frustrates me how everybody around here seems to just underrate how important it is
03:38to have a 1,000-yard receiver on the team and that you can just have Stephon Diggs walk
03:42and you bring in Romeo Dobbs.
03:44He thinks Romeo Dobbs will reach 1,000 yards this season.
03:48Wiggy, I'll start with you.
03:49Do you think that's possible?
03:51And do you think that's likely?
03:53I mean, his best year was last year and he had 750 yards or something along those lines.
03:58724.
03:59724, right?
04:01So, he's...
04:02That'd be like a 33% jump.
04:05Yeah.
04:05But could it be the change in scenery?
04:08See, I have said on this show countless times, Meggo, you are not here, that it is possible
04:14that they believe internally that Drake May elevates his play so much that he gets 1,000 yards.
04:23That may be what they're banking on.
04:25I don't think that should be plan A.
04:27You know?
04:28I think that should be like plan B or plan C.
04:30And that's why I do think that they still need him.
04:32It's not like he's coming from a bad offense.
04:34Right.
04:34It's not like he's coming from the Tennessee Titans to the New England Patriots.
04:37It's like, all right, he's on a much better team with a much better offensive game plan
04:40and quarterback.
04:41Like, he's going to take a massive jump.
04:42He was on the Packers.
04:43Right.
04:43And Jordan Love, you know, everybody's thoughts of Jordan Love is that he's a pretty good quarterback.
04:48And Matt LaFleur is a really good play card.
04:50And how many years has Dobbs been in the league?
04:52Four, I believe.
04:53Four years, right?
04:55Has he been all with Jordan Love or was there a point in time where he was with Rodgers?
04:59He was with Rodgers for a year.
05:01That first year was with Rodgers and Devontae Adams.
05:03The next three, I believe, were with Jordan Love.
05:05Was Rodgers with his wife then?
05:07Maybe they got to know each other?
05:08I don't think so.
05:10But is that ayahuasca video that is floating around real?
05:14I haven't seen it.
05:15Haven't seen it.
05:16I block all Aaron Rodgers content.
05:18You haven't seen it?
05:19No.
05:20Where he's talking about the butterfly and how the butterfly gets life from the...
05:26Wait, is this new?
05:27I think so.
05:28I think it is.
05:30I thought you were saying it was a video of him on ayahuasca.
05:33It is.
05:33It is.
05:33Oh, yeah, it is with the people.
05:35They're all sitting around in the tie-dye shirts.
05:37And, like, I think it is.
05:39Extra butterfly?
05:41It could be AI, but I think it might be legit.
05:44My favorite moment on social media happened on April 17, 2010 at 7.33 a.m.
05:49when Greg Bedard tweeted the following.
05:51People are high on Arizona tight end Gronkowski?
05:54I don't see it at all.
05:57We all have freezing cold takes.
05:59Nothing colder than that one.
06:00We all have one or two.
06:02Especially when you're talking about guys in the second and the third round, you miss on those guys all the
06:06time.
06:07But, I mean, don't knock them.
06:08The substacker was the only one that was able to watch enough film to identify that Steph Diggs was running
06:13the wrong routes.
06:14Yeah.
06:16What a take that was.
06:18Don't, like, I mean, don't knock him.
06:19Yeah.
06:21But it is interesting to think that the Patriots believe.
06:24How is the Patriots beat group down there?
06:27Do you like those?
06:28Yeah, they're one of my favorites.
06:30They are?
06:30I would say.
06:31Do you prefer the Celtics beat writers or the Patriots beat writers?
06:35I spend probably on a whole the most time with Patriots just because Patriots offseason becomes, like, such a full
06:42-time thing.
06:43Yeah.
06:43You know, like, once OTAs and minicamp starts and all that, like, you're just down there endlessly.
06:48Yeah.
06:48And training camp.
06:50Are they respectful and nice to you?
06:51Yeah.
06:52I would say 95% of the beat is lovely.
06:55Like, the Patriots side of things?
06:57On the Patriots side, like, communications-wise?
06:59No, no.
07:00I mean, like, the writers.
07:01Oh, yeah.
07:01That's what I'm talking about.
07:02Writers, broadcasters.
07:04Do you ever get into it with any of them or anything?
07:05On occasion.
07:06Oh, really?
07:06Maybe get a little bristly.
07:08Say, look, you've got to defend yourself if somebody, you know, steps on your toes a little bit.
07:13You've got to say, well, excuse me.
07:15Whoa, whoa, whoa.
07:15Who stepped on our girls' toes?
07:18Perhaps somebody tried to move my personal property in a press conference.
07:23Oh.
07:24What?
07:24Yeah.
07:25Stand-on business.
07:26Oh.
07:27And somebody else came to my defense.
07:29Oh.
07:29Said, that's mega stuff.
07:31And I walked over and I said, excuse me, that's my seat.
07:34Oh, they tried to take your seat.
07:36Oh.
07:36So you had put all your stuff.
07:38It was a press conference.
07:39So I wasn't being, like, a seat saver.
07:42Oh.
07:42Everybody had put their stuff down.
07:45Okay.
07:45So it wasn't just me going, like, oh, that's my seat.
07:48Don't take it.
07:49Right.
07:49Yeah.
07:50And I had to come back and.
07:51Who was it?
07:52We'll just say it was somebody familiar to this program in the past.
07:56All right.
07:56Who was maybe on this program and then was no longer on the program anymore.
08:00Are you kidding me?
08:01No, I'm not.
08:02Volant tried to steal.
08:03Yes.
08:04He tried to steal my seat.
08:05He tried to steal your seat?
08:07He tried to steal my seat.
08:08What a smarmy move for someone to make.
08:11I'm shocked he was there.
08:12He barely ever goes to Foxborough.
08:14Okay, Mr. Smarty Pants.
08:16So.
08:17So then what happened?
08:18Did you say, excuse me, sir, that's my seat?
08:21Yes.
08:21I don't know what to tell you, buddy.
08:23And what did he, did he immediately say, oh, my God, I'm sorry?
08:27No.
08:28No?
08:29Yeah.
08:29Oh, he didn't give it back?
08:30I didn't be like, my bad.
08:31Oh, I sat down.
08:32Yeah.
08:32Like I said, I got, you know, I got to stand up for myself.
08:35So I sat down.
08:35Are you kidding me?
08:37And then I asked Elliot Wolfe, like, hey, does Tom Brady actually not want to trade Max Crosby
08:42to you guys?
08:43And he laughed.
08:43That's a good question, though.
08:45That was a really good question.
08:47Surprisingly great question from you.
08:50Thanks, Ben.
08:52I'll tell you.
08:53I think he's the only one everybody in the media agrees on.
08:57Maybe the amuse-bouche.
08:59Ben's always, he has always been very kind to me.
09:02Except for when he stole your seat.
09:03But he did try to steal my seat.
09:04He stole your-
09:06He stole your place.
