Transcript
00:00and with us here uh and and uh had a successful day on the golf course yesterday is uh dante
00:07hall
00:08and wait a minute hold on should we yeah yeah yeah when you say the name we got to follow
00:12it up
00:12we got to x-factor it x-factor it do you prefer x-factor or shyme said earlier human joystick
00:18like which do you prefer it depends on if we're talking about my wife or uh or fans
00:28all right no seriously though i prefer the um human joystick because um at the time that
00:33moniker was given to me i was an avid gamer oh so at the time you can imagine yeah how
00:39stoked i was to
00:41be called that what do you play because wiki wiki what do you play mortal combat i just play card
00:47that's it call of duty not no call of duty so i retired i was the typical you know madden
00:52nba
00:53guy but what happened i started playing the ea tiger woods in 2006 cold turkey dropped the
00:59controllers picked up the golf clubs haven't turned back since really haven't put up a controller i
01:04take that back i tried it recently to get into because gaming is such a huge thing now i just
01:10don't have the time the desire yeah i'd rather play pac-man if i'm going to play video games
01:15give me an old school atari and i'll play pac-man what about are you excited about as excited as
01:21shyme and
01:21i are about uh grand theft auto 6 which is coming in november maybe that's a six now yeah i
01:27have no
01:27idea shyme am i right six that's correct correct sixth um it's by the way do you know how much
01:33that
01:34game is costing them to make a ridiculous dollars yeah a billion dollars why money well it's it's been a
01:42eight-year process or whatever it is there they don't think that it may bankrupt that that company
01:49uh because you you know you you're first of all it may be the first video game that's 80 bucks
01:56or
01:56whatever whatever it is but even if it's 80 bucks you have to sell like 13 million of them to
02:01break even
02:01at a billion i think they'll be able to do that you think so i think so yeah there's 13
02:05million kids
02:06that i may even come out of retirement and play grand theft auto six i just think the kansas city
02:11chiefs the shirt's bothering me like i i can't stand we can't stand the chiefs i i just we cannot
02:18we
02:18just oh am i right can we hear it for the chiefs please thank you okay okay okay this is
02:25done
02:30um is uh is that a dynasty the chiefs i think it all depends on if um if mahomes comes
02:42back and has
02:43the career that brady had after he had his knee injury i think one more recently in the next two
02:52years you can call it a dynasty yeah where all time where do you have mahomes as a quarterback
02:58one b i got brady one a i can't even put mahomes at two i got him at one b
03:05and if he wins four
03:06where do you have is he what is he what does he need to do to be one a with
03:10brady i think a couple
03:11of more appearances and maybe two more wins yeah that's fair see and i would i would say that the
03:18chiefs they are a dynasty right because when you think of the dallas cowboys don't people call them
03:23a dynasty if you win three super bowls in a five year six year span and then you go to
03:30two other
03:31super bowls isn't that considered the the patriots were considered the dynasty after they won their
03:35third one so i mean even though i'm not a chiefs fan i would say that you know it's not
03:41a patriots
03:41dynasty but they're still considered you would have to still say that they had it they had a dynastic run
03:47and they'd be a dynasty okay hey hey i'm sold and i'm buying you know what i mean hey that
03:52was
03:52the freak don't worry about it i was trying to be modest i mean i'm in patriot environment right now
03:57so i was just trying to be you know very diplomatic very diplomatic but uh i'm buying where do you
04:04have
04:05drake may in terms of every everybody non mahomes like in terms of the the rest of the nfl where
04:09would
04:09you rank drake may as a quarterback to be honest i had him very high until the uh uh super
04:15bowl
04:16i thought he could have really propelled himself to that upper you know maybe tier two
04:21category but um he didn't play well in the uh super bowl so i think he's definitely a guy that
04:27you
04:27can build around i think he's on his way to being great that experience in the super bowl i think
04:32if
04:33he can come back this season and uh um um you know get better from that uh experience i think
04:40he has
04:41potential to really be be great we were talking earlier about drake going into his third year
04:47and whether they need more veteran leadership in that locker room do you feel like a quarterback
04:53who's in his third year who's had the super bowl appearance even though it wasn't a great performance
04:58from him like can do you see him as somebody who will be able to command that entire locker room
05:04yeah
05:04think so absolutely i mean he took a team to the super bowl and um you know look look at
05:09brady brady
05:10won the super bowl he had a lot of um vets obviously the first two or three were defensively
05:17uh built but i think drake may with the leadership of vape vable coach ravel um you don't really need
05:25a
05:26lot of i think that's kind of you need a lot of leadership uh veteran leadership like drake may can
05:33lead
05:33a team being year two or three it's really not about the age it's about as the starting quarterback
05:39that's really what it's about it's the position it's the head coach it's the quarterback it's your uh
05:43very important guys your middle linebacker those are the guys that lead it's not necessarily your
05:48older guys wiki you agree um yeah i would agree i i definitely think that when you start to look
05:54at
05:55leadership you look at you know i mean i disagree with shime i think drake may this is his team
06:00and in that locker room he's viewed as like he's the leader now everybody doesn't have to be the
06:05most vocal i always talk about troy brown being a great leader and troy wasn't very vocal so it's
06:10just really based on your personality it's more about the respect level that there you go and and
06:15dante will tell you this it's about how your teammates view you when they see you work how you
06:21prepare how you study that determines whether or not you're a leader precisely because i've seen some
06:26vets that it's like don't follow that guy right yeah even though he's been in the league eight
06:31nine ten years has stats like don't follow him don't do that he may can get away with that you
06:36can't
06:36so i don't think it's about age i think is what we could just say it's about leadership mahomes was
06:41probably the leader of the chiefs within two or three years yeah why does he walk that way though
06:45stop it stop it very strange hey you kick a lot of booty like he does he's like this
06:52like walks kind of like this that's all that huh ass kicking he does is that what it is
06:57tight in the glutes yeah i thought it was all that money he had in his back pocket that's that
07:02part too
07:04and dante let me ask you this question because you know the game has obviously changed since the time
07:10that we played how like how much damage do you think you would have done because now if you look
07:16at kickoff returns they basically are saying all right this has to be now a major part of the game
07:21and with all those guys being on like kind of like the same level do you think it would be
07:25much easier
07:26to return kicks in today's game versus when we played and you know guys had 40 yard head starts and
07:32there was wedges and all types of crazy stuff yeah i i believe wholeheartedly that um it was much
07:39easier to take a kick to the house and return kicks when i played simply because of the alignment
07:46now you have guys already in position within 25 yards so you don't really have a lot of guys getting
07:51out of their lanes as a return man we want them running 60 yards downfield because at some point
07:58somebody is going to mess up and get out of their lanes and that's when you get a big hole
08:02and you can
08:03take advantage of it now it's very very difficult to break in my opinion and um just look at the
08:08stats
08:09i mean they were a lot better this season but overall you're going to have way more return
08:15for touchdowns during my era during our era then you will now just simply because of you have no
08:21wedges the guys are already in position to cover the kicks like you have all 11 guys down in position
08:28within 20 yards it's just way more difficult the league says they do that for safety yes yes do you
08:34do
08:34you buy do you agree with that like do you think the way that they're doing it really makes a
08:37big
08:37difference in protecting the players i mean i haven't gotten the stats but i was fortunate to
08:42be able to ask roger goodell you know personally like why and he said it was simply because the
08:48percentage of concussions were the highest on kickoffs was that on his yacht i don't know i'm like that
08:57and may go take it from me somebody who was on a wedge when you got somebody 280 pounds running
09:02full
09:02speed at 50 yards i'd much rather him be five yards away from me with no without a head uh
09:08running
09:08stop exactly right and that's also uh chief super fan roger goodell
09:12i feel like i'm in a i feel like i'm in a harness mess yeah you are
09:18well we did we did the quarterbacks hey do we want to talk about the raiders uh
09:23uh tom brady no the tuck rule do we want to go there oh now you're
09:28do we want to go there now you're coming right appropriately jermaine now you're coming at jermaine
09:32yeah that's that's i listen snowball is the day that wiggy said he made tom brady you know when
09:38you set a record for most catches in a game a playoff game at that point you know you do
09:42have
09:43some type of help making a guy i didn't put the rules in place they're there so we don't break
09:47them and that was a rule all right the patriots always follow the rules that's what we do without
09:53rules we'd be living in chaos i agree we did the quarterbacks obviously the chiefs and the patriots
09:59are the two modern day dynasties we always compare the two what does andy reed have to do to surpass
10:05bill i don't know if he can to be honest because i don't know if he's going to have the
10:09uh longevity
10:09i can see him being done when patrick is done or even before so i don't know if he'll have
10:14the
10:14the stats but i think he's already um made himself equal to bill just in the sense of what he
10:20did in
10:20philly going to four straight nfc championship games even though you don't win them i don't agree
10:25when people um penalize you for making it and not winning like it's hard to get there i played
10:31nine years in the league never sniffed it it's a ton of guys like myself so him getting there four
10:38straight years in in um philly and then coming over to the chiefs totally different uh organization
10:43and doing the same thing i think that maybe he puts him equal but i don't know if he equals
10:47equal
10:48equal i don't know if he can surpass him but but equal to bill yeah interesting you know why we
10:53was talking about this last night only because what has happened since brady has left amen dante
11:00that brought him back down to the pack because for the longest he was out there right but now
11:04you're back to the middle of it what happened in tampa when tom went there
11:08exactly same thing yep do you feel like we're kind of because you started off talking about
11:13patrick and how he's gonna look post acl do you feel like everybody's kind of just like yada yadaing
11:19past the acl injury because it's seems so much more common now like everybody's like oh yeah and then
11:25when mahomes comes back it'll it'll just be like it was yeah absolutely uh medical um advancement as
11:33in regards to the sports world it's tremendous now like guys are coming back that injury was
11:39you were done yeah when brady had it it was a still a big question of what's he how long
11:45is it
11:45going to take him to get back and what's he going to be like but i think for me it
11:48was when adrian
11:49peterson came back as a running back a quarterback okay you put a brace on they changed a couple of
11:54rules that you can't touch it but when adrian peterson came back nine months and never had an issue again
12:00i think that just shows you where medicine is in sports and yeah that's why everyone feels the
12:05way we feel like he's going to come back he he'll probably be stronger and it won't be an issue
12:09the
12:09only thing i'm going to be concerned about the difference tom brady doesn't use his legs right
12:14patrick uses his legs so it'll be interesting to see how he looks as far as being mobile because a
12:20lot
12:20of his big plays were used with his legs opposed to uh tom brady so that'd be something to watch
12:26but
12:27i count on him coming back and then and why are the chiefs building more around like i i always
12:31thought the chiefs would see the patriots and how the second part of the dynasty they left some wins
12:35there because they didn't put enough around brady so he left like the chiefs off season i feel like
12:40it's been not great like i disagree really yeah because um if you look at the chiefs yeah obviously
12:45everyone wants to talk about my homes during the championship i'm looking at the game different
12:49the defense that we had at the time allowed him and gave him time to either make a comeback
12:56and be in position to be great on the last you know fourth quarter drive but you need defense and
13:01i think that's where we have suffered trying to build around my homes um and now the defense kind
13:06of you know took a um step back last the last few seasons which is why the chiefs have looked
13:12like
13:13they've looked so i think they're doing the right thing get the defense strong you got a solid running
13:17game my homes can make everyone else great so i disagree i absolutely love what they've done this
13:24off season get back defense wins championships all-time tight ends you have kelsey or wiggy higher
13:30i'm gonna go with my man wig i thought you was gonna ask him about kelsey gonzalez now that you
13:38know that's the one down there in kansas city i thought he was gonna ask him about those two yeah
13:43i'll go kill i play with gonzalez that's my guy best hands i've ever seen kelsey can do more
13:50after he catches it that's the big difference still or is he kind of washed
13:57he's washed you can say he washed still he's not washed he just got a little dirty last year but
14:04um
14:04i think this year he'll be super motivated it's his last year yeah i think he can give us
14:09one more great season one more great season all right how'd you golf yesterday
