I wanna hear your thoughts. AP NFL Comeback Player of the Year for 2025, 2020206. Christian McCaffrey is in the lead at -250. But all of a sudden, like a slow-moving brook turning into a raging body of water, Philip Rivers comes roaring down at 550. What needs to happen to cash in on something like this? Well, I think this is a little bit of a trap here where people are buying this Philip Rivers narrative. It was fun. Look, I'm not gonna lie, you know, forty-something year old me was, you know, Saturday, uh, after dinner, folding some laundry, watching Philip Rivers, looking like he might win a football game in Seattle, and I, I was happy for him. I just like when good things happen to old people. I just think it's great. Uh, but unfortunately, things didn't go his way. Had they won that game, And Philip Rivers wins another game, and somehow the Colts get into the playoffs, then yeah, then I think this is very much in play, because all these awards are narratives, they're all media awards, it's something we always talk about here on the program. OK, you're looking for a good story. And it's a great story, but I don't know if it's gonna be a successful story at the end of the day. It's very cool what Philip Rivers has been able to do. He kind of looks like the guy who dresses up at Halloween as a football player, right? Like, he's just looks a little bit thicker, you know, you're like, oh, look, you know, so and so dressed up as a quarterback. Oh, that's, that's a great Halloween costume. Uh, but somehow he was able to stay in there, play a whole game. He might not play a whole game this week. Like you gotta keep that under in your mind too, like Monday night, uh, tough matchup here against the San Francisco 49ers, not their defense is great, but their offense is gonna put it on him. But this -250 for CMC is still the way to go. Like he is still the guy, somehow too, I got this at 3 to 1 a while back. It was still, you know, week 10, it was still like 3 to 1. And I lock that in and I still feel pretty confident that at the end of the day, it's Christian McCaffrey. I get it, it's fun. There were turn on investments one, but I just don't think it's gonna be there. But, great story. I mean, how did you feel last week watching Philip Rivers nearly win a big football game on the road against Seattle, who ended up beating the Rams the following week? That's right. You know, here's the thing, I, I was a professional wrestler for 25 years. It's almost half of my life. Life and when I look back on it or I watch it now, I can't imagine taking some of we call them bumps, some of the falls just my body hurts just watching. I can't Philip Rivers, how do you ready yourself for taking NFL caliber hits at what is he, 44 or something to that effect? Like it's just that, that's rough, man. That's really, really rough. So, uh, overall how I felt about it was better him than me and besides, he's got a lot more money and doesn't have 10. Kids, like, I don't know, 10 kids. I, I, I can understand wanting to get out of the house, but I, I would like to be home. I get it. He's wants a grandpap, Matthew. There were kids out there that, there were guys tackling him that are younger than his oldest kid. Like that's just crazy stuff out for real. It is. And, and let's move to those younger players. Uh, go to AP NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year for the season. It's called the Segue. Sometimes I nail them. Um, Traveon Henderson at. Plus 170, uh, Amika Ibuka plus 250. That's the real conversation for me. You can talk about Jackson Dart at + 470 or Tet McMillan at + 280. But has Egbuca done enough in the first half of the season to win this award, or does the recency bias and New England's impressiveness, if you will, if that's a word, push Trayvon Henderson over the limit? Cause he has the, uh, the talk. We've been talking about Henderson all season, Joe. Yeah, this one is live. Uh, Ebuca was leader for the 1st 8 weeks and rightfully so, and he was the guy that we were loving and we talked about him for this award, but now it is getting really dicey. I don't think it's gonna be Tedder O McMillan. Uh, I just don't think he's gonna get enough press at the end of the day, unless the Carolina Panthers win big today and win that division and has a great game, then maybe we start to have that conversation. Look, Jackson Dart is a QB. So, keep that in mind, if the Giants, you know, went out here the last couple of weeks and blow that #1 spot, Jackson Dark could be in that conversation because it is a New York team, big media market, good narrative there, but it is between Traveon and um Emeka Egbuke at this point too, and I have to give the lean to Traveon Henderson because Traven continues to have these big moments, and these big moments become the highlight reels that go national and these people who vote for the awards. You know, it's a national media thing and you have those big spots and the Patriot narrative is good. The Patriots are gonna win a lot of awards. I don't think they're gonna win MVP necessarily, but Mike Vrabel is gonna win Coach of the Year, maybe Traven wins Rookie of the Year. This one's very live here with a couple of weeks left in the season, so I, for one, I'm very curious to see how it plays out. Uh, Meke Buka was the favorite for a long time, but now, it's anybody's guess. It is wide open.
