00:00Maybe the Denver Broncos came down with a bug too
00:02because they got throttled last night by the Kansas City Chiefs
00:05on Monday Night Football.
00:06Pretty one-sided affair.
00:08Patrick Mahomes makes his return after a torn ACL.
00:12How about that Kenneth Walker, huh?
00:14Kenneth Walker.
00:15How about the contract?
00:16Real deal.
00:17What an add to that offense.
00:18I mean, for a team that over the last few years has tried to kind of
00:21duct tape it and bubble gum it together with, you know,
00:24just a collection of running backs.
00:27They go big in free agency, bring him over, give him a big deal,
00:32and he was the engine for the offense.
00:3423 carries, 173 yards, scores on a 60-yard touchdown,
00:40chips in in the receiving game, scores a receiving touchdown.
00:42He had about 200 total yards and a couple touchdowns.
00:45Game wasn't even close.
00:46Kansas City defense harassed Bo Nix throughout the night.
00:50He fumbled three times, sacked four times.
00:52I know I was going against, or I was, sorry,
00:55I was five points down in one of my leagues, and I had Rasheed Rice.
01:00Now, he only gave me two catches for 19 yards,
01:02so basically, you know, four points there, but he scored a touchdown.
01:05That's all you need.
01:06That's all I need.
01:07He hooked me.
01:08Travis Kelsey led them in receiving with 71 yards.
01:11He had a 59-yard catch.
01:13I believe he was late in the game.
01:15Almost scored a touchdown.
01:17Didn't quite get in.
01:17I think he was tackled, like, on the four-yard line.
01:20But just a dominant performance by the Kansas City Chiefs in an AFC West game
01:25to open their season.
01:26And it doesn't get much easier for the Broncos.
01:28They have to go home and host the Jags in week two.
01:31Right.
01:32That's not an easy assignment.
01:35Should be easier because you're at home,
01:36but the Jags look to be one of the better teams in the AFC.
01:41Right.
01:42So, nice performance out of the gate by the Chiefs,
01:44and Kenneth Walker looks legit.
01:47He looked really good.
01:48There's a viral video, too, that is out there
01:50where he's, like, listening to the offensive coordinator or whatever,
01:53and you can see how locked in he is.
01:55Yeah.
01:55And they're just kind of, like, this is what a professional looks like.
01:57Sure.
01:58You know, locked in.
01:59He's a pro.
01:59Listening.
02:00Yes, sir.
02:01You know what I mean?
02:01Yeah, yeah.
02:02No nonsense.
02:02Just got paid.
02:03Just won a Super Bowl.
02:04MVP, whatever.
02:05Yeah.
02:06And he's just still just, like, you know, respectful.
02:09Yeah, it's a really good look.
02:10Also, on the Chiefs' defensive side, Mansoor Delane,
02:12their top draft pick,
02:14who they moved up in front of the commanders to select,
02:16he picks off Bo Nix before departing with an injury.
02:20I don't know how serious his injury was.
02:22Oh, he got hurt.
02:23Wow.
02:23But he definitely made an impact in that game last night.
02:26Yeah, it wasn't the best night for Bo.
02:28He threw that pick.
02:30He had a fumble.
02:30He actually fumbled three times.
02:32He only lost one.
02:33Yeah.
02:33It wasn't his best night.
02:34It was not.
02:35It was not his best night.
02:36It was not great for him.
02:37But, man, Kenneth Walker's just so strong.
02:39He's just a ball.
02:40His legs are just, I mean, on that touchdown run,
02:43I can't remember what DB it was,
02:45but, I mean, he just kind of threw him off of him.
02:47I think it was Jones.
02:48I know it's very early,
02:50but I'm revisiting my playoff predictions
02:53that we did last week.
02:54Did you not have the Chiefs in there?
02:56I mean, it's early.
02:57I don't have the Chiefs making the playoffs.
02:59Right.
03:00After watching that one performance,
03:02I might be regretting that omission.
03:05But, again, it's one week.
03:07Let's not all overreact to what happens in one week.
03:11I mean, Jalen Waddle had one catch for two yards.
03:13I know.
03:14He's not going to do that every week for Denver.
03:16There are better days ahead for that Denver team
03:18in that offense, but that Chiefs team
03:21looks pretty stout on both sides of the ball.
03:24I had Waddle and McLaurin on one of my teams.
03:26Started them both,
03:27and they gave me a total of, I don't know, four points.
03:30Sometimes that's the way it works.
03:31I mean, I started Kyle Pitts in the league,
03:33and he gave me as many points as Mike Marr did.
03:36I mean, it just happens sometimes.
03:37Mike Marr.
03:37Mike Marr's back.
03:38And you know what?
03:39When you have a trash quarterback,
03:40like Valdez said and Cooper Rush,
03:42delivering the ball,
03:43your offensive players are going to suffer.
03:46Kansas City plays another primetime game
03:48next week, too.
03:49They play the Colts next Sunday night.
03:51Okay.
03:52They have back-to-back primers.
03:53Very good.
03:54But yeah, that was a big win for Kansas City
03:56to open up.
03:57Can you believe we're already through
03:59two weeks of college and week one of the NFL?
04:02I know.
04:02And it's 54 degrees out.
04:03It's here.
04:04It's here.
04:05Let's go.
04:06What's the line on the Maryland-Virginia Tech game?
04:10Three.
04:11It's who's favored?
04:12Virginia Tech laying three, I'm assuming.
04:13Virginia Tech favored by three on the road?
04:15Hokies three, yep.
04:16All right.
04:17Expecting a tight affair in College Park.
04:18What time is that game?
04:19You're going to that game, right?
04:20What time is it?
04:21Night game, 7.30.
04:21Oh, it's the College Park.
04:23It's going to be hubbing.
04:237.30 on this weekend.
04:25All right, I've got to see what I'm doing.
04:267.30 Saturday.
04:28Yeah, I'm supposed to go.
04:30Probably doing a whole lot of nothing.
04:31Do you already have your tickets secured?
04:33Zippy.
04:34Oh, okay.
04:34That's the problem.
04:35You don't.
04:36Still working on that.
04:37You talk to Dustin?
04:38You can't hook yet?
04:39I've talked to everybody.
04:40They just...
04:42There's no tickets.
04:44I was told by one of my Maryland connects that every Hokie fan in Northern Virginia is
04:49buying tickets for that game.
04:50I would imagine.
04:51It's going to be a Hokie home game.
04:52It's going to be a lot of Hokie representation, but I think it's going to be about 50-50.
04:58I think it's going to be split kind of down the middle.
05:00You might be surprised.
05:01I could be wrong.
05:02There could be a lot more maroon and orange in the stands than red, black, and gold.
05:08It's gold.
05:08It's gold, right?
05:09Bobby's not yellow.
05:10I need to make sure it's gold.
05:12Yeah, I can't.
05:13I don't want to offend Terp Nation.
05:15Yeah, I'm still working on it.
05:17I've been working every single angle.
05:18I might have to just go to just hang out at the tailgate.
05:22Like, go to, like, the Scotty's tailgate, even without a ticket.
05:25Yeah, you should.
05:25I mean, it'd still be a fun scene, no matter what.
05:27Well, as long as you can watch the game somewhere.
05:29Where's the game being broadcast?
05:31I'm sure they have TV set up in the parking lot.
05:33Do I have to have something like Big Ten TV or something?
05:36Not worried about that.
05:37Well, I'm sure that's – I don't know if it's a Big Ten TV network.
05:40I mean, I don't know.
05:41They're throwing out stuff.
05:42Could be on ESPN.
05:43I don't know.
05:44So annoying.
05:45There were a couple games I wanted to watch this week.
05:46That game's on ACC Network.
05:48ACC Network.
05:49Yep.
05:49This is a pretty big game for Mike Loxley.
05:52It's a way bigger game for Mike Loxley than it is for James Franklin.
05:56True, but it's still – I mean, it's a big game for the Hokies.
05:58It's a tone center for Franklin.
05:59Yeah.
06:00It is, but for Loxley, it's –
06:02It's survival.
06:03Can you beat, like, a real opponent before you get to Big Ten?
06:07I'm sorry.
06:07I'm sorry.
06:08It's not on ACC Network.
06:09It's on Fox Sports.
06:10Okay.
06:10So we should have that.
06:11Yeah, yeah.
06:12Sorry.
06:12I looked at the wrong game.
06:13Yeah.
06:14Sorry.
06:14That's one.
06:14All right.
06:15That'll be good.
06:15That'll be corrected me in my ear.
06:16Yeah.
06:17All right.
06:17That'll be good.
06:19That'll be no problem.
06:20It's a big game for both.
06:21I mean, clearly it's for Lox.
06:23But, I mean, Franklin – I mean, Virginia Tech hadn't played anybody.
06:27Right.
06:27They destroyed VMI and looked good against Old Dominion.
06:31Old Dominion was starting a new quarterback.
06:33He can run, but they got to him.
06:35They sacked him, I don't know, four or five times.
06:37Actually, no, they sacked him seven times.
06:39So their defensive line just dominated the game.
06:42But this, you know, this is Maryland.
06:43And it's not that Maryland is a top program.
06:46I mean, they had a bad year last year.
06:47But still, they're going to face a much better quarterback this week.
06:51And they're on the road.
06:52So it'll be interesting.
06:53Need my man Malik to do some work against your Hokies this weekend.
06:57Well, he did some work last week.
06:58He did.
06:59Did I see he had 18 completions in a row at one point?
07:01I think something like that.
07:02He had a bunch.
07:03Yeah.
07:03I thought I saw that.
07:04Yep.
07:06But, yeah, that's a 730 kick on Saturday night.
07:09I'll be locked in for that one.
07:11In fact, I think it was the Maryland game that I was having a hard time
07:16finding that online.
07:17Did you watch it?
07:17Maryland vs. UConn?
07:19Yes.
07:19It was on, I believe, CBS Sports Network.
07:21Yeah, I don't have that.
07:23You don't have that on your package?
07:24It's a paid thing.
07:27Oh, it is?
07:27Yeah.
07:28With my DirecTV stream.
07:29Sometimes the Terps will pop up on CBS Sports Network.
07:32Yeah, that kind of stinks.
07:32Sometimes they'll show up on Peacock.
07:33I think I may have had that when I had YouTube TV.
07:35But on this DirecTV stream, it did not.
07:37Yeah, you might need to add that.
07:38Just add another bill.
07:40Or just put up the live cast and just watch the stats.
07:42You could do that as well.
07:44You could do that, too.
07:46All right, coming up on the show today, here's your guest lineup,
