00:00Yeah, you sent me all these numbers on Cleet Blakeman, who, of course, will call the Chiefs
00:06and the Bills in the AFC title game.
00:08Here we go.
00:09Let me give you some of them.
00:10Home teams are in NFL Worst 5 and 11 straight up in 2024, 5 and 11 with Cleet Blakeman.
00:20Since 2016, home teams' ATS are 46.5 percent, so less than 50 percent of the time home teams
00:29cover with Blakeman as the ref.
00:3253.5 percent of Blakeman's penalties were assessed to home teams this year.
00:37So usually there's a little bit of that bias, Scotty, that's involved with home cooking,
00:42et cetera, things like that.
00:44Blakeman is the absolute furthest thing from that talking point.
00:50He goes nowhere near the home teams.
00:53Now in terms of these teams significantly, the Bills are 6-2 straight up and 4-4 against
00:59the spread with Blakeman in the Josh Allen era.
01:03The Chiefs are 5-6 straight up and 4-6-1 ATS with Blakeman since 2018.
01:11But one of those wins was an end of the season game where Mahomes didn't even play.
01:16It was Chad Henney in at quarterback.
01:18So in reality, Patrick Mahomes, 4-6 straight up with Blakeman as the head official.
01:26You know, I'll believe it when I see it.
01:29You know, all of these stats and numbers and trends and what he's done against the Chiefs
01:35all sound wonderful and just absolutely exciting for me, very excited about it.
01:43But what I want to see is that in the game on Sunday night, I want to see them actually
01:53do it, call the game fair, just call the game fair.
01:57If I see bad calls against the Bills early, I mean, first and second quarter, that'll
02:04be all you need to know, that if they start calling stuff against Buffalo early, that's
02:10all you need to know that they fix games for the Chiefs.
02:13That's just all there is to it.
02:15Last week was disgusting.
02:20No one wants to just call it for what it was.
02:23It was disgusting.
02:25Those calls were reprehensible.
02:27They were awful.
02:29And they were anemic calls.
02:31And then, you know, even when I watched the Bills game, the refs were terrible.
02:37I thought the holding call on Buffalo was so bad.
02:41It was laughable.
02:42Like, can we just get refs that call a good game for effing once in the NFL?
02:50I've been hearing how they're the best refs in the world just ad nauseam.
02:56And the reality of it is, every fan that I know, every, you know, I go to games, I go
03:03to tons of games.
03:05Every fan I know thinks the NFL refs suck, that they're awful.
03:10I've never heard anyone say any of them are any good.
03:14Yesterday, you told me the guy doing the Super Bowl is a really good ref.
03:18My ass, I don't believe any of them are good.
03:21I think they're all awful.
03:23And what they should do is be lovers with baseball refs because they're even worse.
03:27They're even worse.
03:28So don't get me started.
03:29I've already told you the best refs in sports or in the NHL, for the most part,
03:34I'd say 75% of the time, the NHL refs call a good game.
03:40And they let them play and they call obvious, you know, penalties.
03:46And, you know, you see the refs make calls that the coaches scream and yell about
03:51here and there.
03:51But I think that's 25% of the time.
03:54In the NFL, I go to games and I literally watch 90% of the calls are ass mustard.
04:02They're just awful calls.
04:04They can't even get replays right.
04:06They can't do anything right.
04:08They can't even manage the clock.
04:10They're a disaster.
04:11And I'm done with anything else.
04:13I'm done with it.
04:15I'm not going to sit and listen to it.
04:16Watching an NFL game is like getting your head bashed in with a hammer.
