Could we please see someone other than Patrick Mahomes in the Super Bowl? As we gear up for the big game, I delve into my expectations for Jalen Hurts and the Philadelphia Eagles as they prepare to face the Kansas City Chiefs, a team that seems to have mastered the art of winning championships. It’s a crucial moment for Hurts; if he can’t deliver a standout performance, we might have to reconsider his status as an elite quarterback. Shifting gears, I also break down the NBA All-Star starters and discuss how the talent in the Eastern Conference measures up against the West, highlighting the depth of skill in this year's lineup. Join me as I explore these topics and more, reflecting on the state of sports and what we can anticipate in the coming weeks.

Takeaways:

  • The upcoming Super Bowl is crucial for Jalen Hurts to prove himself as an elite quarterback.
  • The Kansas City Chiefs' consistent appearances in the Super Bowl are impressive yet exhausting for fans.
  • I expect a high-pressure performance from Jalen Hurts against the Chiefs to avoid being disregarded.
  • The NBA All-Star starters highlight a disparity in talent between the Eastern and Western Conferences.
  • Fans are tired of consistently seeing Patrick Mahomes in the Super Bowl; fresh competition is needed.
  • The Chiefs' ability to win games despite challenges reflects their Championship DNA and experience.

Mukundi:

Could we please see somebody that's not Patrick Mahomes in the Super Bowl?

Mukundi:

Could we please see a coach that's not Andy Reid on the other side?

Mukundi:

Bro, do you realize how long are you gonna take to get in your groove?

Mukundi:

We need you to ball out.

Mukundi:

This is gonna be the most important game of your career.

Mukundi:

I'm gonna tell you right now, if Jalen hurts, doesn't ball in this game and doesn't go for 200, 250 yards with at least two touchdowns and ends up losing to.

Mukundi:

To Patrick Mahomes as well, we're gonna disregard him as an elite quarterback forever.

Mukundi:

Dude, you could pull off a miracle, bro, and you'd still lose to the Kansas City Chiefs in the playoffs.

Mukundi:

They just know how to win Championship DNA is a thing in sports.

Mukundi:

I've seen it happen.

Mukundi:

I've seen it take over.

Mukundi:

Give me a God in the east and I will raise you a God in the west that is either as good or better.

What's happening with Chelsea?

Speaker B:

I'm having people forget their professions, but that's a story.

Speaker B:

How is Chelsea doing?

Speaker B:

Not too good, man.

Speaker B:

We got thumped 31 by an N4 Manchester City.

Speaker B:

And I understand.

Speaker B:

Speaker B:

But anyway, it's not about me.

Mukundi:

Let's go.

Mukundi:

It's fine.

Mukundi:

It's fine.

Mukundi:

It's fine.

Mukundi:

I saw a joke on the Internet that maybe Pep's wife was the mastermind all these years.

Mukundi:

People are mean.

Speaker B:

Oh, they're bad.

Mukundi:

People are so mean.

Speaker B:

Terrible, man.

Mukundi:

But Pep Guardiola, we praying for you.

Mukundi:

Yeah.

Mukundi:

One apparently greatest coach of all time, according to nj.

Mukundi:

And, yeah, the boy is not good.

Mukundi:

The boy is not okay.

Mukundi:

The boy is going through the most.

Mukundi:

You know who's okay, though, in not going through the most?

Mukundi:

The Kansas City Chiefs.

Mukundi:

But before I do that, are you fine, my dog?

Mukundi:

Are you well?

Mukundi:

Yeah.

Mukundi:

Tell me down there.

Mukundi:

Mukundi.

Mukundi:

I'm fine, Mukundi.

Mukundi:

I'm well.

Mukundi:

How are you?

Mukundi:

What type of magic do the Kansas City Chiefs use, bro?

Mukundi:

I don't get it.

Mukundi:

I don't understand.

Mukundi:

Kansas City is that team.

Mukundi:

That just makes no sense, bro.

Mukundi:

I don't get it.

Mukundi:

I honestly don't.

Mukundi:

But we'll get there.

Mukundi:

Let me start with the nfc, because it's the least entertaining one.

Mukundi:

We got the Washington Commanders going against the Philadelphia 76ers in what I thought would have been a great game, and in what turned out to be a great game, I just thought it would be tighter than this.

Mukundi:

I did not expect.

Mukundi:

I expected the Eagles to beat the Commanders.

Mukundi:

However, the Commanders were playing well.

Mukundi:

Well enough for the past couple of weeks.

Mukundi:

And Jaden Daniels is balling his ass off, and everything was just going so well for that team.

Mukundi:

I expected them to at least make the game competitive.

Mukundi:

I expected Jaden Daniels to do his thing, and in his defense, he did his thing.

Mukundi:

He balled well.

Mukundi:

However, that Eagles def.

Mukundi:

That Eagles offense was just going crazy, bro, because.

Mukundi:

Tell me why.

Mukundi:

The game ended with the Commanders at 23 and the Eagles at 55.

Mukundi:

That's a playoff game, bro.

Mukundi:

That's a playoff game.

Mukundi:

55.

Mukundi:

23.

Mukundi:

Shout out to the Philadelphia Eagles.

Mukundi:

You have punched and stamped your ticket to the playoff, to the super bowl, where you will inevitably lose once again.

Mukundi:

I don't think that's how it's gonna be.

Mukundi:

I need Jalen Hurts to play well.

Mukundi:

I need.

Mukundi:

I need him to be MVP caliber.

Mukundi:

Jalen hurts again if he's gonna stand a chance against the Kansas City Chiefs.

Mukundi:

That's just how it is.

Mukundi:

That's just how it is.

Mukundi:

I need Jalen Hurts to play well.

Mukundi:

He has protected the football, and I get it.

Mukundi:

As a quarterback, your number one responsibility and your number one job is to protect the football.

Mukundi:

However, that's when I need you to carry your offense.

Mukundi:

You can't expect Saquon to run for 110 yards every game.

Mukundi:

And if this is gonna be what I think it is, then they will be prepared for that.

Mukundi:

We will know.

Mukundi:

We all know Saquon is gonna run.

Mukundi:

So we're gonna make sure that whatever happens, he doesn't beat us.

Mukundi:

Somebody else is gonna beat us.

Mukundi:

I want A.J.

Mukundi:

brown to beat us.

Mukundi:

I want Devonte.

Mukundi:

I wanted.

Mukundi:

I want Devontae Smith to beat us.

Mukundi:

I want you, Jalen Hurts, to beat us.

Mukundi:

Jalen Hurts has been going.

Mukundi:

Has been going these playoffs.

Mukundi:

Do you know this is the first time he threw.

Mukundi:

He threw for over 200 yards in this playoff run.

Mukundi:

That means the wild card round.

Mukundi:

That means the divisional round.

Mukundi:

None of that.

Mukundi:

Don't.

Mukundi:

Don't get me started on the weeks prior to the playoff starting because he wasn't playing great before then.

Mukundi:

He was playing good, but he wasn't playing great.

Mukundi:

By good, I mean, once again, he was doing his job as the quarterback.

Mukundi:

He was protecting the football.

Mukundi:

He was protecting himself, but he was not being sensational.

Mukundi:

And Jalen Hurts is a player that we know is sensational.

Mukundi:

Fair enough.

Mukundi:

He got injured and then he was out for a couple of weeks, and then when he came back, he had to get in his groove.

Mukundi:

But how long are you gonna take to get in your groove?

Mukundi:

We need you to ball out.

Mukundi:

This is gonna be the most important game of your career.

Mukundi:

I'm gonna tell you right now, if Jalen Hurts doesn't ball in this game and doesn't go for 202 yards with at least two touchdowns and ends up losing to Patrick Mahomes as well, we're gonna disregard him as an elite quarterback forever.

Mukundi:

I'm serious.

Mukundi:

We.

Mukundi:

We are.

Mukundi:

You've done this before.

Mukundi:

You.

Mukundi:

You've been here.

Mukundi:

You should have the blueprint by now.

Mukundi:

You've played against Patrick Mahomes in the super bowl two years ago.

Mukundi:

Isn't it.

Mukundi:

Wouldn't be.

Mukundi:

Wouldn't it be so fitting if he did?

Mukundi:

If he three peated with you, that means he started the three peat and ended the three peat with you.

Mukundi:

There's just something so poetic about that.

Mukundi:

And if you allowed that to happen, Jalen Hurts.

Mukundi:

I'm not even talking to the rest of the team right now because I expect them to do their thing.

Mukundi:

I expect Saquon to do his thing.

Mukundi:

I expect AJ to do his thing.

Mukundi:

I expect devontae to do his thing.

Mukundi:

I expect.

Mukundi:

What's his name?

Mukundi:

Who's the Coach, man.

Mukundi:

Who's the coach?

Mukundi:

It's not Shanahan.

Mukundi:

Shanahan is Philadelphia's.

Mukundi:

Who's.

Mukundi:

Who's the Philadelphia 70 Eagles coach, man.

Mukundi:

It's right there.

Mukundi:

It's right there at the top of my tongue.

Mukundi:

It's right there at the top of my tongue.

Mukundi:

I'm sorry.

Mukundi:

I should have done this because now my whole monologue is ruined.

Mukundi:

But I need you to.

Mukundi:

I need.

Mukundi:

I need you to know that he will coach and his name is Philadelphia Eagles head coach.

Mukundi:

Okay, this is taking Stefanski.

Mukundi:

No, Stefanski is the.

Mukundi:

You know what?

Mukundi:

Screw it.

Mukundi:

My phone is wild in any way but him.

Mukundi:

I need you to coach, and it's pissing me off that I can't remember his name right now.

Mukundi:

It's pissing me off.

Mukundi:

How do I not know this?

Mukundi:

But fine.

Mukundi:

I need.

Mukundi:

I need a coach to coach.

Mukundi:

And he's gonna do it.

Mukundi:

And we all know that he's gonna do it.

Mukundi:

The offensive coordinator as well.

Mukundi:

I just forgot his name.

Mukundi:

Coast.

Mukundi:

Who knows coordinators names?

Mukundi:

The only coordinator I know is Todd Bozen.

Mukundi:

He's not even a coordinator anymore.

Mukundi:

He's the head coach at Tampa Bay.

Mukundi:

But the.

Mukundi:

The Eagles offensive coordinator used to be a very pass.

Mukundi:

First guy we saw that in Dallas.

Mukundi:

He moved to.

Mukundi:

He moved to Philly, and he's just been running the ball with great success.

Mukundi:

Saquon is running very well.

Mukundi:

But my monologue in my soliloquy is this.

Mukundi:

Jalen Hurts, I need you to play well.

Mukundi:

I need you to be phenomenal because somebody has to put an end to this.

Mukundi:

And we're counting on you, no one else.

Mukundi:

But before I even get too far, let me tell you the actual stats of the game.

Mukundi:

Jalen Hurts threw for 246 yards with one touchdown.

Mukundi:

And Saquon Barkley.

Mukundi:

Damn.

Mukundi:

Fifteen carries for 118 yards with three touchdowns.

Mukundi:

Oh, hey.

Mukundi:

Jalen hurts his three rushing touchdowns as well.

Mukundi:

Yay.

Mukundi:

So does that.

Mukundi:

Does that, does that.

Mukundi:

You know, can we give him a pass?

Mukundi:

But we know those are quarterback sneaks, right?

Mukundi:

So can we even leave it?

Mukundi:

Can we even allow it if it's a quarterback sneak?

Mukundi:

But it's fine.

Mukundi:

I can't say enough, man.

Mukundi:

My children.

Mukundi:

Saquon Barkley, Modal.

Mukundi:

We all know how that's gonna go with Washington.

Mukundi:

Jaden Daniels, the greatest rookie season I've ever seen, has come to an end.

Mukundi:

And I'm not even mad because he exceeded expectations and he has a great future.

Mukundi:

And he did in one year what countless quarterbacks have failed to do before him.

Mukundi:

The Washington Commanders, formerly the Washington football team, formerly the Washington Redskins.

Mukundi:

That was their first playoff win.

Mukundi:

The wild card round.

Mukundi:

The wild card round win was the Washington Commander's first playoff win in 20 years.

Mukundi:

We have grown men walking around that did not know what it felt to play, to see or even experience football.

Mukundi:

You know, there are some men that had never seen the Washington Commanders play football past January, past December, like, at all.

Mukundi:

And now he did it in two.

Mukundi:

In one season, he got the team two playoff victories, which he took the team to the championship game.

Mukundi:

The Dallas Cowboys haven't even gotten there.

Mukundi:

And their quarterback is Dak Prescott, who's making $70 million a year.

Mukundi:

Yeah, that damn.

Mukundi:

Yeah, but I told you, Jalen Hurts has to put an end to this.

Mukundi:

Somebody needs to.

Mukundi:

Somebody needs to.

Mukundi:

Somebody needs to put a stop to this.

Mukundi:

I'll start.

Mukundi:

I'll start off by saying this.

Mukundi:

Harvey Dent said, you either look.

Mukundi:

Wait, no.

Mukundi:

Yeah, Harvey Dent, he said, you either die a hero or you live long enough to see yourself become a villain.

Mukundi:

Allow me to take you back to:

Mukundi:

The Kansas City Chiefs are playing the New England Patriots in the AFC Championship Game.

Mukundi:

And everyone is rooting for the Kansas City Chiefs to win because the New England Patriots have been here too many times.

Mukundi:

We're tired of seeing them do this.

Mukundi:

And can somebody please go to the super bowl that's not named Tom Brady?

Mukundi:

Can we see a coach on the other side in the AFC that is not named Bill Belichick?

Mukundi:

Cool.

Mukundi:

No, they did.

Mukundi:

They did not win.

Mukundi:

I'm sorry, but they lost that game.

Mukundi:

Fast forward six, seven years.

Mukundi:

The year is:

Mukundi:

The Kansas City Chiefs played the Buffalo Bills in the AFC Championship Game, and everyone was praying for the Kansas City Chiefs to lose.

Mukundi:

Because for the first time in God knows how long, could we please see somebody that's not Patrick Mahomes in the Super Bowl?

Mukundi:

Could we please see a coach that's not Andy Reid on the other side?

Mukundi:

Bro, do you realize that over the past 10 years.

Mukundi:

Actually, over the past 14 years, the AFC Super.

Mukundi:

The AFC Championship Game, Tom Brady or Patrick Mahomes have been in either one of those.

Mukundi:

Every AFC Championship game over the past 14 years has had either Patrick Mahomes or Tom Brady.

Mukundi:

Can we stop this?

Mukundi:

Chiefs.

Mukundi:

I don't know what.

Mukundi:

What the Chiefs are doing.

Mukundi:

I sat here on this chair, and we said for weeks, the Kansas City Chiefs are washed.

Mukundi:

The Kansas City Chiefs ain't gonna do nothing.

Mukundi:

And you, ye of little faith.

Mukundi:

I said, watch.

Mukundi:

As bad as the Kansas City Chiefs are, as Terrible as they may seem, and as bad as this offense is, and Travis Kelce playing the worst brand of football in his entire career, and Patrick Mahomes having more interceptions than touchdowns, and statistically probably the worst career of his season.

Mukundi:

I said, watch all that and a bag of chips and they still made it to the Super Bowl.

Mukundi:

Am I modestradamus or what?

Mukundi:

I think I am.

Mukundi:

Yeah.

Mukundi:

Modestradamus.

Mukundi:

Don't, don't.

Mukundi:

Don't hate on my parade, bro.

Mukundi:

I'm a doustradamus and I predicted it.

Mukundi:

Thank you.

Mukundi:

You should listen to me more.

Mukundi:

I happen to know what I'm talking about.

Speaker B:

Except for the Ravens.

Mukundi:

If you remember.

Mukundi:

If you remember, I actually said I'm quite scared and concerned for Ravens, but I'm not talking about the Ravens anymore.

Mukundi:

At least not until next season.

Mukundi:

Maybe when LaMar wins his MVP, which I don't see him not winning, but yeah.

Mukundi:

So Patrick Mahomes, 245 yards, one touchdown, and that's it.

Mukundi:

He didn't play.

Mukundi:

Oh, and then Josh Allen, 237 yards with two touchdowns.

Mukundi:

And with that, the stage is set.

Mukundi:

The super bowl is going to New Orleans, and we got the Philadelphia Eagles versus the reigning defenders, super bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs chasing their three peat.

Mukundi:

Will they get it?

Mukundi:

I think so.

Mukundi:

Why?

Mukundi:

Because at this point, the Chiefs do anything they want.

Mukundi:

And they can win anything they want, whenever they want because they just caught.

Mukundi:

They just.

Mukundi:

That team, bro, no matter what you do, no matter how well you play, no matter what you do, you could pull off a miracle, bro, and you'd still lose to the Kansas City Chiefs in the playoffs.

Mukundi:

They just know how to win.

Mukundi:

Championship DNA is a thing in sports.

Mukundi:

I've seen it happen.

Mukundi:

I've seen it take over.

Mukundi:

When they say the stuff of champions, this is what champions are made of.

Mukundi:

It exists.

Mukundi:

It's real.

Mukundi:

plain what Steph Curry did in:

Mukundi:

explain what Tom Brady did in:

Mukundi:

And this is what the Kansas City Chiefs are doing now, and it's what they're gonna continue doing as long as Patrick Mahomes wants to.

Mukundi:

However, that is killing the sport.

Mukundi:

I know for a fact I'm tired of seeing Patrick Mahomes in the Super Bowl.

Mukundi:

I'm tired he's been in the super bowl as long as I've been watching football.

Mukundi:

So that lets you know everything.

Mukundi:

I hate the fact that I have to hate on such a great player and such a great organization.

Mukundi:

But, like, what's wrong?

Mukundi:

Can you not just do that?

Mukundi:

Give Them a chance.

Mukundi:

And you think this is.

Mukundi:

Listen, I've seen the script, bro.

Mukundi:

I was in the room with Roger Goodell and all the other owners and Robert Kraft.

Mukundi:

I was in the room.

Mukundi:

I've seen the script.

Mukundi:

The Super Bowl.

Mukundi:

The Kansas City Chiefs are gonna win the super bowl and beat the Philadelphia Eagles 35, 30.

Mukundi:

And when it's all said and done, Travis Kelce is going to propose to Taylor Swift in the middle of the field, and three months later, he's going to retire just before the start of the.

Mukundi:

The season to end it all on top.

Mukundi:

Trust me.

Mukundi:

Watch it.

Mukundi:

That's how it's gonna go.

Mukundi:

He's gonna.

Mukundi:

Ray Lewis this thing.

Mukundi:

Did you know that Ray Lewis's last game was a Super Bowl?

Speaker B:

Yeah, I know, I know, I know.

Mukundi:

Like he just said.

Mukundi:

Yep.

Mukundi:

Got my ring.

Mukundi:

Got my second ring.

Mukundi:

I'm out.

Speaker B:

Yeah.

Speaker B:

He even said at the beginning of the season that it's his last season.

Speaker B:

Yeah.

Mukundi:

Why can't you just.

Mukundi:

Why can't.

Mukundi:

Why can't they all do that, bro?

Mukundi:

Just leave the game before it leaves you.

Speaker B:

Yeah, just like.

Speaker B:

Which.

Speaker B:

Well, first of all, which team did he play for?

Speaker B:

Raylos.

Speaker B:

What team did you play for?

Speaker B:

What?

Speaker B:

No?

Speaker B:

Okay.

Mukundi:

As I was saying, I like Ray Lewis's entrance, though.

Mukundi:

He got that cool dance that he does when he walks in and then he hypes up the crowd.

Mukundi:

He did that when the.

Mukundi:

When the Ravens played the.

Mukundi:

The Steelers in the divisional.

Mukundi:

In the wild card round and they won.

Mukundi:

Should he.

Mukundi:

Should he have done that when they played the Bills?

Mukundi:

I don't think they would have saved him because.

Mukundi:

Yeah, no, the Ravens just forgot to play how to play that day.

Mukundi:

Anyway, I want to talk basketball because all star season is around the corner.

Mukundi:

Well, it is all star season, actually, and the starters have been announced now in the East.

Mukundi:

I'm gonna start with the Eastern Conference starters.

Mukundi:

Some of these names, not gonna lie.

Mukundi:

They just.

Mukundi:

The east is a very weird conference.

Mukundi:

These guys are great players.

Mukundi:

However, if I were to compare them with, especially the backcourt, the gods in the east are definitely not as good as the gods in the West.

Mukundi:

Are you gonna fight me on that?

Mukundi:

Put up your dukes.

Mukundi:

Let's see what you got.

Mukundi:

Give me a God in the east, and I will raise you a God in the west that is either as good or better.

Mukundi:

Donovan Mitchell, is he better than Anthony Edwards?

Mukundi:

Is he better than Luca?

Mukundi:

Jalen Brunson, is he better than sga?

Mukundi:

Is he better than Steph?

Mukundi:

Darius Garland, is he better than Kyrie?

Mukundi:

Trey Young, is he better than James Harden.

Mukundi:

Actually, Trey Young, maybe, But you get what I'm trying to say.

Mukundi:

The guard play in the west, an entirely different game, bro.

Mukundi:

The God play in the west is crazy.

Mukundi:

Dudes are balling, bro.

Mukundi:

However, I digress.

Mukundi:

Here are your Eastern Conference starters.

Mukundi:

Drumroll, please.

Mukundi:

Actually, you know, we don't have a drum roll, but I'll give you this, okay?

Mukundi:

Donovan Mitchell is your first guard.

Mukundi:

Jalen Brunson of the New York Knicks, second card.

Mukundi:

Jason Tatum of the Boston Celtics, that's your first forward of the game.

Mukundi:

Yanis Adendokumbo from the Milwaukee Bucks, that's your second forward of the game.

Mukundi:

And then Carl Anthony Towns, Bodega Cat is your center of the game.

Mukundi:

Why?

Mukundi:

Because Joel Embiid hasn't been playing.

Mukundi:

But he's hurt.

Mukundi:

I ain't even mad.

Mukundi:

Okay, let's go out west and allow me to tell you what's happening out West.

Mukundi:

Who is your first God?

Mukundi:

Of course.

Mukundi:

Of course.

Mukundi:

Stephen Curry.

Mukundi:

Wardell.

Mukundi:

I mean, did we think Wardell was not going to be a starter?

Mukundi:

Really?

Mukundi:

Really?

Mukundi:

Fine.

Mukundi:

Sga.

Mukundi:

My mvp.

Mukundi:

Sga?

Mukundi:

Yeah, you got a problem there?

Mukundi:

Come fight me.

Mukundi:

Sga.

Mukundi:

My mvp.

Mukundi:

He's the second guard out west.

Mukundi:

KD from the Phoenix Suns, that's our first forward.

Mukundi:

And old man LeBron James is our second forward.

Mukundi:

And of course, our center is none other than the best player in the world, Nikola Jokic.

Mukundi:

Bro, this dude had a game a few days ago.

Mukundi:

35 points, 22, 22 rebounds and 17 assists, shooting 12 of 19 from the field.

Mukundi:

Who does that?

Speaker B:

Nicola Jokic.

Speaker B:

tter now than MJ's MVP season:

Mukundi:

And, dude, this dude is having the greatest peak I've ever seen.

Mukundi:

As if we were to just take this five, this five year stretch, no one is doing it better than Jokic.

Mukundi:

There's a reason he's about to win.

Mukundi:

Well, not about to, but there's a reason he's in the run.

Mukundi:

He's a front runner for mvp.

Mukundi:

And if that happens, this will be his fourth MVP in five years.

Mukundi:

There's a reason for that.

Mukundi:

There's a reason he has three MVPs in four or five years.

Mukundi:

He's going crazy.

Mukundi:

This dude had a triple double this one game and didn't even play in the fourth quarter.

Mukundi:

What?

Mukundi:

Who does that, bro?

Mukundi:

Anyway, so the reserves are going to be announced soon and I'm very interested to see who's going to get snubbed because unfortunately, to put one guy on, you got to cut one guy out.

Mukundi:

It's not me.

Mukundi:

It's the way of the game.

Mukundi:

And it's gonna be tough, especially out west with all those guards, man, I'm telling you.

Mukundi:

I'm telling you.

Mukundi:

The Western Conference is a very God heavy conference and unfortunately there's not enough space for everybody.

Mukundi:

But we shall see how that goes.

Mukundi:

I just want Victor Wembanyama.

Mukundi:

Well, Victor Mbanyama is going to be there.

Mukundi:

Wemby's definitely going to be there.

Mukundi:

That's for sure.

Mukundi:

That's for sure.

Mukundi:

Because I know for a fact he was neck and neck with KD in terms of starting position.

Mukundi:

But KD's KD, so I ain't even mad.

Mukundi:

So fine.

Mukundi:

We shall talk more about the All Star game around.

Mukundi:

Around All Star time.

Mukundi:

That's gonna be February 9th, I want to say.

Mukundi:

And then the next weekend is super bowl weekend.

Mukundi:

Two weeks for me.

Mukundi:

It's gonna be a great two weeks for me.

Mukundi:

Only if the All Star game is fun.

Mukundi:

Because All Star weekend has fallen off and we all know that.

Mukundi:

Anyway, that's it from me.

Mukundi:

N.J.

Mukundi:

do you have anything for me?

Speaker B:

Pat Mahomes is not winning the Super Bowl.

Speaker B:

That's my prediction.

Speaker B:

That is my prediction.

Mukundi:

I pray.

Mukundi:

I'm praying with you, bro.

Mukundi:

You can predict.

Mukundi:

I'll pray.

Speaker B:

Why does he do this?

Speaker B:

How does he get to the super bowl so often?

Speaker B:

First of all, let's say this.

Speaker B:

If you say that the super bowl is harder to win than an NBA championship, then why Shem is he always there?

Speaker B:

Because if you look at the parity, the NBA Finals has been different for the past how many years?

Mukundi:

We've had a different champion every six years.

Speaker B:

Yeah, right.

Speaker B:

Okay.

Mukundi:

Super Bowl, Super Bowl.

Mukundi:

The Super Bowl.

Mukundi:

Well, he's won three of the last.

Mukundi:

He's won three of the last five.

Speaker B:

And then the other.

Speaker B:

Who were the other two?

Mukundi:

Tampa Bay in:

Speaker B:

Right.

Mukundi:

Besides that:

Mukundi:

They just went back to back the past two years.

Mukundi:

They bought to three peat most likely.

Mukundi:

And.

Mukundi:

And the answer to your question is simple.

Mukundi:

Mahomes is just that much better than everyone.

Mukundi:

However.

Mukundi:

I don't know.

Mukundi:

I don't know.

Mukundi:

So the Kansas City Chiefs.

Speaker B:

So even other than that, there's something in city.

Speaker B:

I think I should go there.

Mukundi:

There's something in Kansas City.

Mukundi:

Yeah.

Speaker B:

Yeah.

Mukundi:

Because sometimes the way they win games makes no sense.

Mukundi:

This one time the game was tied.

Mukundi:

Yeah.

Mukundi:

And they.

Mukundi:

They had a field goal to kick.

Mukundi:

They kicked the field goal.

Mukundi:

They win.

Mukundi:

They missed the field goal.

Mukundi:

The game goes into overtime, bro.

Mukundi:

Kicked the field, the goal, the ball.

Mukundi:

And we all saw it going out of the.

Mukundi:

Of the post, right?

Mukundi:

Tell me where it hit the pope and actually managed to go in.

Mukundi:

Nah, bro.

Speaker B:

So I think.

Speaker B:

I think the NFL is not as.

Speaker B:

Is not as competitive as the NBA based on who's winning the finals.

Mukundi:

I wouldn't say not as competitive.

Mukundi:

It's.

Mukundi:

It is.

Mukundi:

It actually is.

Mukundi:

It's very competitive.

Mukundi:

Given especially with the whole the.

Mukundi:

The one game aspect of it all, the finality of it all, especially in the playoffs, I will say that's what makes it more competitive in the NBA.

Mukundi:

At least you get a chance to fumble.

Mukundi:

If you miss, you have one bad game, it's fine.

Mukundi:

We'll try to get them the next game.

Mukundi:

In the NFL, it's this game or nothing.

Mukundi:

And unfortunately, in a one game situation, for.

Mukundi:

For some reason, everything seems to go right for the Chiefs on that one day.

Speaker B:

And then the Patriots as well.

Mukundi:

And then the Patriots as well.

Speaker B:

So I'm saying the NBA Finals are more interesting to watch now.

Mukundi:

Because we.

Speaker B:

May have someone different.

Mukundi:

Yeah, the NBA Finals are more interesting to watch because of that, for sure.

Mukundi:

Man.

Mukundi:

The Chiefs have made the super bowl boring.

Mukundi:

But Chiefs and the Patriots.

Mukundi:

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Mukundi:

Because they just took over from what the Patriots were doing.

Speaker B:

So welcome to America's most important spot.

Mukundi:

Now, officially, I'm not gonna lie, the regular season be lit.

Mukundi:

Bro, I'm talking about.

Speaker B:

No one cares about the regular season.

Speaker B:

We care about the playoffs.

Speaker B:

This is why we're here.

Mukundi:

I didn't try.

Speaker B:

All right, that's it.

Mukundi:

That's it from you.

Mukundi:

Yeah.

Mukundi:

The answer to his question is that the Kansas City Chiefs.

Mukundi:

You may not know this, but Patrick Mahomes had a meeting with my grandma back in Vendor.

Mukundi:

Okay.

Mukundi:

So, yeah, I'll see you next time.

Mukundi:

That was episode 24, Kobe season baby mentality.

Mukundi:

We did great.

Mukundi:

We did good.

Mukundi:

Let's see what happens.

Mukundi:

We're not going to talk football for a while because the super bowl is only in February.

Mukundi:

Meaning we are going to talk more basketball, UFC and everything in between, bro.

Mukundi:

I found a South African MMA promotion called Verses and it's so much fun.

Mukundi:

We'll talk about that on the next one.

Mukundi:

I've been Mukundi.

Mukundi:

And as always, until next time, enjoy the violence.
