But I think what I found most interesting was that the switch to TE led him to "a love of the game I never had before..." It just kinda explains why he puts so much into playing his position - he genuinely loves playing TE. I also thought it was pretty honest of him to say "hey - I liked it because I was good at it. I didn't have Brian Kelly chewing my ass for not throwing the football anymore..." |

Yeah, Jason's "You set the narrative" thing was great to hear. He's not wrong. Yeah, sometimes guys go too far and are too critical, but there's always a kernel of truth in there.

I'm GUESSING he quit going to the bars in college, but goes with the guys after he matured in the pros. All those quotes were profoundly interesting. Same with the ones about learning the defense. It shows how he's so good at the finding openings business instead of just running a route like most guys do. Just tidbits like that are worth the price of admission, and the self-deprecation about being not very good at it helps smooth the rough spots. I'm truly impressed. |

Heh. Yeah, exceptions exist. The hot take factories will always be out there spewing nonsense, but on the whole, he's pretty right.

By and large, the good analysts will talk about you based on how good or bad you've played. Simple as that. |

They'll find something legitimate and then embellish it. But even Bayless can't find a way to argue that Patrick Mahomes is a bad quarterback or Travis Kelce can't play anymore. |

Um, Bayless uses any chance he gets to argue Mahomes is overrated...

While everyone else says Mahomes is, at worst, top 3; Bayless will try to talk him down into the 8 range. Is that insulting...oh sure. Is it calling him Marcus Mariota? Nah. |

Great podcast. I have watched 3 episodes. Jason is such a cool dude. The type of dude you meet at a bar, have a drink with and talk about sports and just life in general.
Him and Travis have very good chemistry, too. |

I think this is my favorite podcast, and I listen to a shitload of podcasts. We'll see how it ages, but it's firing 100MPH.
The interesting football stuff from this one was Kelce liking the London game. I thought the players didn't like it. Also interestingly he thought it "broke up" their weeks. I'm guessing this is why this team comes out flat and lays eggs sometimes, they need to be juiced up or something. IDK. Just wasn't what I was expecting from that conversation. Also it was kind of not what I expected about the Lamar conversation. After playing with Mahomes, it would be hard for me to say Lamar is one of the best QBs in the league. He's apparently friends with Andrews who he feeds, but Lamar makes a SHITLOAD of bad throws and I'm sure Kelce has to know it. He's never going to come out and be like this dude is a RB like CP does, but he came in hot with praise. It was also interesting his comments on getting money and betting on yourself. The comments aren't surprising in a vacuum, but he definitely did not do that in his career. He has been pretty goddamned reasonable the whole ****ing time. I'm sure he's fine and all, but it was an interesting comment. |

To his credit, he's become better at intermediate routes, but teams are going to dare him to beat them deep and there are simply going to be games where he doesn't have it - it happens to better throwers than Lamar Jackson. And at some point it will happen in the post-season. He tried desperately to give that game against the Bengals away but Cincy's O-Line wasn't having it. If you have a team that simply doesn't have a fundamental, fatal flaw, they're going to smoke Baltimore in weeks like last week. |

I wonder if they'll get any backlash from the comments about white people not being corners. How, if there was a white corner, they'd target them all day long. And calling them a highlighter. Don't get me wrong, I laughed. I could just see those who are easily offended taking issue with it.
