00:00The audacity to make a list 72 hours removed from that ass kicking in the Super Bowl.

00:07But the lists are always about how can you rebound the next year. As I mentioned to you earlier,

00:16Chiefs have proven they can get back there year after year after year.

00:20Philly's been in two of the last three.

00:22Two of the last three, but they have not won the conference two years in a row, right?

00:26Yeah.

00:26So when you get that home field, you may have a better opportunity.

00:30So if I may, I hear what you're saying, and this is all speculative.

00:35You know what you used to say all the time, JP? You went on a tangent for like over a year

00:40and a half, two years about nobody in the NFC ever wins back to back.

00:45The division.

00:45So they don't win the division back to back.

00:48Which is still true.

00:48Not going to be easy for them to go back to back to the Super Bowl.

00:52It's still true because Dallas won it last year.

00:54I'm saying it still won't be easy for them to get back to the Super Bowl.

00:56Fair, but Brian, shout out to ESPN.

01:00And I applaud this because nobody, you know, this does not have a byline.

01:04It's just NFL nation.

01:06You know what they did?

01:07Nobody wanted to put their name on this schlock.

01:10All right.

01:11You know what?

01:12Because they just want to get what's about to happen right now.

01:15They're smart as hell.

01:16All right.

01:17So the number one team in the power rankings, Chiefs.

01:20Number two is the Bills.

01:22Number three is the Lions and the Eagles come in fourth.

01:27Can you read that as anything but clickbait content creation nonsense?

01:34And guess what?

01:35People that like content discuss it on their slations and their shows.

01:40And they get exactly what they wanted out of it.

01:43Professor Landini, how long did it take you to find that?

01:46And how little surprise do you have?

01:49He probably knew it before he must post it.

01:51I mean, I didn't find it.

01:52I don't know what you're talking about here.

01:55Brian actually find it.

01:56Brian and I have been talking for five minutes about how you've just been wrong about this

02:00for, like, 14 straight minutes.

02:01I didn't find that.

02:02Brian found it.

02:04Brian, he found it.

02:05He sent it to you on the text, too.

02:07Yeah.

02:08Oh, yeah.

02:10215 would be his number.

02:14I don't know why.

02:15Yep.

02:16All right.

02:16Why, Brian?

02:18What the hell do you make?

02:19Oh, but landfill, regardless of who found it.

02:21How about the Eagles coming in fourth on a post Super Bowl power ranking?

02:25I love it.

02:26I mean, it's 100% pure troll job.

02:2990% chance it's AI generated, but it's giving us something to talk about.

02:33So hats off to ESPN.

02:36And then on top of it, it's about what does JP say?

02:41What is that word?

02:42Every season is a living organism.

02:46It's true.

02:47So what happened this year don't mean it's going to happen next year.

02:50All of that is true.

02:51I understand.

02:52But you'd be fourth.

02:53But the team that has been in five of the last seven and has won their conference

02:59seven, I've been in a conference championship seven times.

03:03If somebody told him out there, I could understand their mindset.

03:07But I still think the Eagles should be the favorite because they just want it.

03:10Like I say, you got to beat the chance to overtake them or whatever to become the champs.

03:16But if they put anybody other than the Eagles or the Chiefs, then I would be baffled.

03:23Four.

03:26So who's in front of them?

03:28The two teams that can't seem to beat them.

03:30Yeah.

03:31So in front of them, Chiefs, Bills, Lions, Eagles.

03:36Okay.

03:36So they don't have the Ravers in front of them.
