00:00History is the big caveat here because Peyton Manning, the year that Adrian Peterson wanted,
00:05he was outstanding. But what was Adrian Peterson doing? He was chasing Eric Dickerson. If Saquon
00:11Barkley is chasing Eric Dickerson and the final three games for Saquon at the commanders
00:16home against the Cowboys and who would he go ahead and break the record with? Who would
00:20he break the record against? The New York bleeping giants that he could literally break
00:26the record against his former team to where the narrative of, wow, the giants, I mean,
00:31how did they let Saquon go? That whole narrative that everyone seems to keep spinning every single
00:35time Saquon Barkley takes a deep breath, like that narrative finds a conclusion.
00:40And I think the voters would actually gravitate towards that narrative to where Saquon,
00:44he is doing something historic. Lamar Jackson is doing something historic. Mahomes and Allen are
00:49not, they're just good quarterbacks on good teams that win a lot of games. I think history with
00:53Saquon would actually surpass Mahomes or Josh Allen. As long as those guys like Mahomes doesn't
00:59go 16 and one, or if Allen doesn't get the one seed, if it's to see Josh Allen versus record
01:04breaking Saquon, I think Saquon actually beats him out to win MVP.
01:08Yeah, we will. We will see. I hope so. Someone that I know like you,
01:11when we have Saquon Barkley at huge prices to win most valuable player.
01:14So what do we need if you like Saquon Barkley to win MVP? And if you showed up and let's say
01:18you bet him last night or you bet him this morning off of what happened first off, you didn't get
01:23great numbers. Listen to the show. You would have had a hundred to one. Just want to say that first.
01:26Um, what do we need? We you're, you're definitely rooting for the chargers tonight to beat the
01:31Ravens. Definitely rooting for that. Like you were, you were going to root. I don't know if
01:35it's going to happen, but you need to root for Buffalo to lose a couple games in between now
01:40and the end of the season. You need Kansas city to loot, like honestly, to feel really good about
01:46it. You think anything you need the chiefs to lose twice down the stretch. Yes. And then, uh,
01:50if the Eagles go like 14 and three, Jalen hurts is not going to get the credit.
01:54Nick Sirianni is not going to get the credit. The defense gets credit, but the defense is like this
01:59amorphous thing. Like, no, it's not one star player on the defense. Like AJ Brown's awesome.
02:04AJ Brown was on the team last year when they collapsed. Saquon Barkley is getting all the
02:08credit. So that's the path. So people are showing up today and you're like, Hey, I think Saquon can
02:12win. That's what has to happen. And Saquon can win MVP. Uh, and if you're betting a hundred percent,
02:18uh, join us because we would really love, we would really love for it to happen.
