Speaker 43 Today is Monday, December 23rd, week

Speaker 46 16.

Speaker 47 What?

Speaker 48 They're not gonna get them.

Speaker 50 We start in Kansas City where Patrick Swayze Mahomes said pain don't hurt as he bounced off Texan defenders for a first half score on a bum ankle.

Speaker 50 Xavier, we are not worthy, we're scum, we suck, was the opposite of that as he said, game on, Garth, as the Chiefs come down the home stretch of the season.

Speaker 40 The Texans fought hard, but CJ can't read cloud coverage through two picks, spoiling the upset bid as Kareem Bergen Fish and Hunt Club said, murder, what murder?

Speaker 56 As the Chiefs continue killing their competition.

Speaker 11 Chiefs 27, Texans 19.

Speaker 55 We go over to Baltimore where Najee, I see Harris, I see France.

Speaker 55 I dumped a log of Schittzberg in my underpants, had a costly fumble, and Ben hooked on Skronix, gave Russell Wilson some very difficult reads, mixing up his L's and W's.

Speaker 55 The Ravens tight end touchdown duo was the answer to the question of what Air Force base is closest to MNT Bank Stadium? Likely Andrews.

Speaker 55 Derrick Henry VIII took the Steelers for a bride while TJ turned down for Watt, got outplayed by little John Harbaugh, singing the ball downfield, giving shots, shot, shot, shot, shot, shots to everybody.

Speaker 55 And let us be the first to wish you all a very Lamari Christmas as the Ravens roll Baltimore 34, Pittsburgh 17.

Speaker 40 Over to Sunday in Indianapolis, where Jonathan Taylor Swift, coming off a game where he was called the anti-hero, decided to shake it off and tell the haters, look what you made me do.

Speaker 40 As he ran to all the blank spaces on Sunday, amassing 218 yards of the ground and three touchdowns.

Speaker 46 Rudolph, the backup QB, made some very shitty throws.

Speaker 43 Remember when Miles Garrett assaulted him?

Speaker 40 I would even say he blows.

Speaker 55 Colts 38, Titans 30. To Carolina, where we say, Merry Christmas to all, and to all a sug night, as the cards' playoff chances are on death row in this matchup of the two shortest QBs.

Speaker 55 Chuba Indian in the Hubbard has turned into a real young adult running for two touchdowns and the game-winning score.

Speaker 55 Dave Panama Canalis says it's not so easy to travel from west to east as the Panthers get their fourth win on the season. The Panthers, 36.
The Cardinals, 30.

Speaker 46 We head now to DC

Speaker 66 where Max was on scene for the Eagles and Commanders.

Speaker 65 We had look

Speaker 67 we had to Landover, Maryland, where Jalen got hurt and was replaced by Kenny Let's Just Kick It, who did a great job of leading field goal drives all game long.

Speaker 67 Hey, Braden, turn in your man card for being a pussy who couldn't kick the ball into the end zone one time today and they allowed the commanders to start at the 40 on every fucking possession.

Speaker 67 With a chance to win the game late, Devontae Smithy Elliott said, Is it third down? Let me work it.

Speaker 65 Put my hands up, drop it, and reverse it.

Speaker 67 Balls your smicky wicky maniate. Ball's your smicky wicky maniate.

Speaker 67 Commanders 36, Eagles 33.

Speaker 50 Thanks, Max.

Speaker 2 We now head to the Meadowlands, where Memes was there for a great game between the Jets and the Rams.

Speaker 69 It met Life Stadium.

Speaker 69 The Jets tried to breast deck the halls with Bows of Holly, but it turned into the nightmare before Christmas for Jets Super fan Fireman Ed, as he wasn't shown on the Jets Jumbotron, not one time.

Speaker 33 I Kai ran, I Kai ran so far away.

Speaker 69 I Kai ran, I ran all night and day just to get away for 122 yards and a touchdown. Tyler Higg B said, I'm pouring honey on you, GOAT, as he walked it to the end zone for a go-head score.

Speaker 69 Joshua Playboard Cardi said he wasn't going outside today to seal the Rams victory for a field goal. With a field goal.
Rams 19, Jets 9.

Speaker 40 Thanks, Memes.

Speaker 43 In Chicago, where Bears fans just want to be put in their McCaskets and go to die, the Lions decide to clown them one last time.

Speaker 70 Hey, Teach, remember that song you just said?

Speaker 71 I remember that song.

Speaker 70 Boom. Shot, shot, shot, shot, shot, shots, everybody.

Speaker 70 As it was shot to Jameson as Williams scored an 80-yard touchdown and Bears fans want a shot to the head, talking suicide. In the third quarter, Jared Goff goes back to pass and fumble.

Speaker 72 Just kidding.

Speaker 40 He did a fake fumble because Ben Johnson has the bag deeper than the Mariana Trench.

Speaker 58 Someplace I'd like to be right now. The Lions 34, the Bears 17.

Speaker 55 To all our listeners, lock the door, get the lotion out, and get nice and comfortable. Because it's mid-C time.

Speaker 55 As the Vikings head out west to Seattle, Randy Jackson Smith Najigba said that's going to be a G-No for me, dog, as he scored to tighten the game before halftime.

Speaker 55 Justin Timberlake Jefferson probably going to be popping a few bottles of Patron, vacationing in the Samptons, with Darnold stacking up first downs, reminding fans at home and Long Island police officers that the yellow line is not official.

Speaker 55 The Vikings 27. The Seahawks 24.
We finish in Western New York where Hank is on the scene for the Bills and Patriots. Or the Patriots and the Patriots.

Speaker 59 And whoa, in Buffalo, it was Draco's season with the book Bag May, who started the scoring early with a touchdown to every kiss begins with K Sean Booty.

Speaker 48 James Double Don't Dogger Cookie

Speaker 77 scored twice.

Speaker 59 And Teron Burgundy Johnson had a very important announcement, and he needs all of you to stop what you're doing at once and listen.

Speaker 48 Fumble

Speaker 59 recovery touchdown.

Speaker 78 And no one circles the wagons like the Buffalo Bills.

Speaker 55 24, Patriots, 21.

Speaker 48 Sitting on the corner, Jameis Winston, Cuyahoga, such a fine sight to see.

Speaker 48 It's DTR.

Speaker 79 Won't make your pee pee hard, cause you'll never see any TDs.

Speaker 74 Come on, Sincy.

Speaker 74 You're looking frisky.

Speaker 74 Please don't jerk around PMT like you were missing.

Speaker 72 The Bengals 24, the Browns 6.

Speaker 41 And that is Fastest 2 Minutes for week 16 in the NFL.

Speaker 3 Hey, it's PFT here, reminding you that Boars Head makes game day entertaining elevated and effortless.

Speaker 3 Whether you order catering platters ahead from your local Boarshead retailer, or you create your own spread at home with Boarshead premium deli meats and cheeses, you are sure to impress your guests.

Speaker 3 Seriously, guys, it's a game-changing flavor for every gathering. Boarshead, committed to craft since 1905.

Speaker 84 Okay, week 16 in the books.

Speaker 39 As we watch the second half of the Bucks Cowboys, which will recap at the end, Cowboys Cooper Rush might be, is Cooper Rush a franchise quarterback?

Speaker 3 Cowboys better with Cooper Rush? I don't know.

Speaker 26 Mike McCarthy's saving his job right before Christmas.

Speaker 91 So we got a lot of ball to talk about, boys.

Speaker 79 We had Saturday football.

Speaker 47 Yep.

Speaker 91 Hank, did you watch it? Did you see it?

Speaker 79 We had Saturday football.

Speaker 94 We got Sunday football.

Speaker 3 It's just awesome that finally we get football on Saturdays now.

Speaker 42 Yeah, we finally get it.

Speaker 26 So, and we're going to talk a little college football because, reminder, we do not have a show on Wednesday.

Speaker 13 It's Christmas Day.

Speaker 37 we'll be back on friday that's gonna be our schedule for the next two weeks also have an hour-long dock on thursday though on youtube okay so a little little little there you go that's huge that's huge so yeah it'll be monday friday for the next two weeks uh during the holidays but let's get into it saturday football chiefs 27 texans 19.

Speaker 24 The Kansas City Chiefs are going to do it again.

Speaker 66 They're going to win the Super Bowl.

Speaker 97 They are 14-1,

Speaker 97 and everything is rounding into shape exactly as we expected and exactly as they always planned.

Speaker 38 Xavier Worthy is getting targeted.

Speaker 105 I think he had 14 touches.

Speaker 26 Hollywood Brown is back.

Speaker 3 Yeah, the offense looks legitimately good now.

Speaker 106 Yeah, their defense is still like, is you know, the secondary is not great, but they still make big-time plays in the fourth quarter.

Speaker 37 It just felt like they needed, whenever they needed a sack or a pressure that second half, they were all over C.J.

Speaker 108 Stroud.

Speaker 17 And they're going to do it.

Speaker 38 I just, it's crazy, but they're rounding into form.

Speaker 3 Between Hollywood Brown, Xavier Worthy, DeAndre Hopkins, Travis Kelsey, Gray,

Speaker 3 it's like they can go anywhere they want with the ball. Yeah.
At any point. They can beat you in whatever way they want to at that given point.

Speaker 3 They just have so many options right now, and they're looking good. And the game's, winning is getting boring for Patrick Mahomes, who's yawning on the sidelines.

Speaker 6 Yeah, they still can't block for Patrick Mahomes, but it doesn't matter.

Speaker 23 Yeah.

Speaker 8 Because his ankle is not hurt.

Speaker 37 He ran for a 15-yard touchdown in the first half.

Speaker 12 You're like, oh, this guy's not hurt at all.

Speaker 3 He said that his plan was to not run. And then he got in the game.
He's like, fuck it. I'm going to run.

Speaker 24 Yeah, because he just, I think his body, I think he's got a freak body that just can be contorted in all different directions and he'll be fine.

Speaker 21 And he bounces back.

Speaker 26 He's Wolverine.

Speaker 3 This is now their 14th win this season without scoring 30 points. That is now an official NFL record.

Speaker 17 Yes.

Speaker 3 Second place.

Speaker 3 The team they passed was the Frankfurt Jackets. Oh.
In 1925, led by Punk Berryman. You remember Punk? Yeah, Punk Berryman.
Punk Berryman. They had 13 wins without scoring 30 points.

Speaker 80 The crazier stat with the

Speaker 92 no game over 30, it's 31 points because they did score 30, I think, against the Panthers.

Speaker 5 But

Speaker 111 the teams that have not scored 31 points this season in a game are the Kansas City Chiefs, 14-1,

Speaker 36 the New York Giants, 2-13, the Las Vegas Raiders, 3-12.

Speaker 111 And the New England Patriots, 3-12.

Speaker 113 That's the company.

Speaker 3 Yep, that's what you're in. Yeah, the stat was most wins with 30 or fewer points.

Speaker 114 They're just doing stuff just for fun.

Speaker 22 It's not even like, I mean,

Speaker 103 that's a stat.

Speaker 24 Like, the Chiefs don't have to score 30 points.

Speaker 115 They're proving that they can do whatever they want.

Speaker 1 And, yeah, I really do.

Speaker 8 Like, I watched that game.

Speaker 112 I was like, yeah, this is, they're rounding into form exactly like Xavier Worthy, just like Rashid Rice last year.

Speaker 37 The beginning of the year, you know, he had that first game where he has that electric touchdown.

Speaker 36 Everyone's like, how could you let Xavier Worthy fall to the Chiefs?

Speaker 22 And then he has a stretch where he didn't look that great, and they didn't really feature him much, and he would get maybe one or two catches a game.

Speaker 52 And yesterday, it was 11 targets, and it was, I know he didn't have like crazy eye-popping numbers, but he had seven catches.

Speaker 26 He had another three rushes, he had a touchdown.

Speaker 115 They're just rounding into form, and they've got they've got everything cooking.

Speaker 3 So, I feel like they're practicing getting him the ball a lot right now because they're, they might dial back on that a little bit in the playoffs, but they'll go to him a few times a game, and they want to know that he's ready when it happens.

Speaker 119 And he'll be ready.

Speaker 3 And the Chiefs, yeah.

Speaker 60 Congrats Congrats to the Chiefs.

Speaker 112 Congrats to the Chiefs.

Speaker 43 Three Pete.

Speaker 13 As for the Texans, that game sucked a lot for them.

Speaker 121 Not only did they lose, but

Speaker 98 Tank Dell, horrific injury.

Speaker 37 That was brutal, brutal, brutal, especially because he just felt like he was rounding into form after his season-ending injury last year.

Speaker 37 They also lost Jimmy Ward and Shaq Mason, and their offense just

Speaker 52 continues. Like C.J.

Speaker 22 Stroud struggled, and Joe Mixon couldn't get running.

Speaker 106 And I just, I don't have any

Speaker 21 hopes for the Texans to make any type of impact on the AFC playoffs.

Speaker 3 No, that was a tough tough loss when Tank Dunn went down.

Speaker 3 But we should say, tough motherfucker.

Speaker 3 He held on to the ball after getting his kneecap dislocated. Yes.
And you could tell it was serious. And it happened as he was catching the ball.

Speaker 3 Simultaneously, his knee gets bent to the side by some friendly fire. And he hangs on to it as he rolls over as he's calling the cart onto the field.

Speaker 3 He's out of the hospital now and he's going back to Houston. So that's good.

Speaker 27 Yeah, that is good, but it's going to be a long,

Speaker 3 very long recovery.

Speaker 71 Yeah.

Speaker 95 It also, just as a side note, Zach Miller did catch it because that did happen.

Speaker 113 Remember when he

Speaker 26 basically went sideways?

Speaker 7 And you hear the news right away.

Speaker 26 Tank Dale has to go to the hospital.

Speaker 43 You're like, oh, shit.

Speaker 8 I think that's because of artery and they got to make sure the emergency surgery.

Speaker 106 So yeah, really, really tough.

Speaker 26 CJ Stroud was obviously shaken up by it.

Speaker 27 And yeah,

Speaker 92 I don't know where the Texans are in the playoffs.

Speaker 97 And they have they now have they're now down to just Nico Collins in terms of their weapons that they started the season with, which sucks.

Speaker 104 And yeah, I don't really know.

Speaker 27 I don't know.

Speaker 104 Their defense is still good, but not elite.

Speaker 104 And yeah, there's just going to be a bummer to watch because you're like, man, that season, everyone had hopes that they could be one of those Dark Horse Super Bowl teams, and it kind of just fell apart for him.

Speaker 39 And C.J.

Speaker 30 Stroud has had a sophomore slump.

Speaker 3 It's like, I don't know what D'Amico is going to do. Just tell him, reimagine yourself as being a run-first team, Just ground and pound.

Speaker 125 Yeah, but they can't even run the ball all the time.

Speaker 126 Like, Mixing wasn't able to run the ball in this game.

Speaker 3 I don't know what they're going to do, but it is a bummer.

Speaker 109 Yeah, total bummer.

Speaker 52 But yeah, the Chiefs are going to win three in a row.

Speaker 27 Does anyone feel differently?

Speaker 18 Like, I don't want them to.

Speaker 8 I'm going to be rooting for the Bills to beat them.

Speaker 71 I think they will.

Speaker 5 But

Speaker 52 I watched this game and I was just like, yeah, everything's kind of just starting to click for them.

Speaker 93 And it's, yeah, they're just going to do it again. Yeah.

Speaker 3 We'll see you on Christmas.

Speaker 41 And I was just like, how did that happen?

Speaker 3 See you on Christmas, Patty Mahomes.

Speaker 26 14-1 is crazy.

Speaker 37 I mean,

Speaker 104 I know that there's been a lot of close calls, but still,

Speaker 8 14-it's hard to win in this league.

Speaker 3 And they're getting Harrison Bucker back and healthy. He looked okay.

Speaker 72 Why does he do the thing where he falls now?

Speaker 71 I don't know after every kick. I don't know.

Speaker 3 It has something to do with his follow-through. Yeah.
Like making sure he gets enough

Speaker 3 hip flexibility on it. I don't know.

Speaker 18 Very bizarre.

Speaker 2 Very bizarre.

Speaker 25 Also, the Chiefs, the other part is their defense is starting to take the ball away, which I think I mentioned this stat a couple weeks ago where they were third to last in takeaways.

Speaker 112 They had 10 total through 14 weeks.

Speaker 16 They've had eight in the last two weeks.

Speaker 127 So it's all starting to work.

Speaker 2 And it's all going to just,

Speaker 91 I don't really know what else to say.

Speaker 16 The Chiefs are going to win the Super Bowl.

Speaker 51 Congrats to the Chiefs.

Speaker 3 Yeah, it's inevitable.

Speaker 128 Yeah.

Speaker 84 And

Speaker 8 the fans can post the meme and be like, oh, man, this game's going to suck.

Speaker 26 Just kidding, we won.

Speaker 3 You guys will just figure out a way. You'll figure out a way.
No matter what happens, there is a path for you, and you will find that one path. It's going to happen.

Speaker 13 It's going to happen.

Speaker 52 Okay, the other Saturday game, Ravens 34, Steelers 17.

Speaker 107 This was basically, I felt like it was a freaky Friday situation where the Ravens and Steelers switched bodies because it felt like the Ravens were playing Mike Tomlin Steelers football in that they were getting opportune

Speaker 27 turnovers.

Speaker 37 Lamar didn't play like out of his mind good, and they just, you know, the Russ fumble basically changed the game.

Speaker 22 They were going in 7-7.

Speaker 93 Russ is going in.

Speaker 38 All he has to do is slide at the two-yard line.

Speaker 116 Instead, he tries to jump and be a hero, fumbles, and then the Ravens turn around and go on a 98-yard drive, and that was it.

Speaker 3 That was tough because I thought Russ was going to score on that, too. Yeah.
He got in the open field. And then, yeah, just unlucky, unlucky play for Pittsburgh.

Speaker 3 And then you couldn't do anything about Derrick Henry. No.
I don't know what kind of angles Minka Fitzpatrick was taking against Derrick Henry, but they were the wrong ones.

Speaker 71 Yeah, Derrick Henry.

Speaker 52 Derrick Henry was just an absolute, he was a hammer, and the Steelers were the nail on Saturday.

Speaker 106 And it was, he had 100, what do you have, 166 yards, I believe?

Speaker 24 162 yards.

Speaker 26 He's the fifth player in NFL history to have four 1,500 rushing yard seasons, which I always feel like running stats, like passing stats have gotten out of hand.

Speaker 102 Like running stats, those count because they used to just run the ball all the time.

Speaker 37 So it's Edrin James has four, Walter Payton has four, Eric Dickerson has four, Barry Sanders has five.

Speaker 3 And I feel like we're seeing more of the good derrick and less of the bad derrick where he he's slow around the line of scrimmage and gets hit for a loss yeah because that that was the formula in tennessee for a while it's like just keep feeding him eventually we'll figure out a way to break him on a long one uh and then a lot of the times he just would have gains of like one yard no yards minus one yard in baltimore it feels like they figured out how to get him on the edge and get him even going downhill before he hits the line of scrimmage yeah and then you good luck tackling him if you don't take the perfect angle on him.

Speaker 21 I feel like, yeah, this is like the thing they were missing last year. Yeah,

Speaker 3 it looks pretty pretty good in Baltimore. Now, the Steelers had some, they're a little bit banged up in the secondary.
Yeah, that was a tough joke.

Speaker 12 Joey Porter getting hurt early.

Speaker 3 That didn't do him any favors. And they are getting Pickens back.

Speaker 2 Yes, for the Christmas Day game.

Speaker 18 Yeah.

Speaker 4 Who he's their entire offense, if you listen to some of our

Speaker 3 friends. I mean, it looks like

Speaker 3 it looks like they don't know how to pass the ball downfield without Pickens. Yeah.

Speaker 104 I mean, that Russ pick, too, Marlon Humphrey, who's been incredible this year,

Speaker 98 that was also the game.

Speaker 117 Russ didn't play, he had to play clean football.

Speaker 90 The Steelers had to go into that game doing what they usually do against the Ravens, where they basically just trade field position, get a couple fumbles.

Speaker 27 The Ravens put the ball on the ground, but the Steelers just didn't recover it

Speaker 101 and get to the end of the game and find a way to make one more play.

Speaker 26 And Russ just didn't keep him in that spot where they could be like, oh, we're just a TJ Watt strip sack away from winning this game.

Speaker 52 Yeah.

Speaker 3 Stupid thing I noticed after this game was over, it was like 30 minutes after the end of the game.

Speaker 3 Kyle Van Neuy, he posts on Twitter a picture of him just deke leading Russell Wilson and he says like it's hunting season and it was such a sick picture.

Speaker 3 That's got to be an underrated part about being an NFL athlete is like right after a game's over, you get to look at all these incredible pictures of you doing superhuman shit and be like, yep, that's me.

Speaker 3 Look at me. I'm sideways.

Speaker 100 Look how sick I look.

Speaker 3 Getting the fuck out of Russell Wilson and making him look like a ragdoll.

Speaker 52 Yeah, me smashing some guy.

Speaker 3 Like just having a professional photographer follow you around and like send instead of like here at Barstool, the worst you look, those are the ones that get posted.

Speaker 135 Yeah, Hank just tries to find the worst pictures of you and post it over and over.

Speaker 16 Yeah, it's just four memes just memes us to death.

Speaker 3 You have a staff of people who are assigned to find the best-looking pictures of you that they can get their hands on and amplify those to the masses.

Speaker 42 You looking like a Greek god in action.

Speaker 123 Yeah.

Speaker 3 I agree. That's why I want to play in the NFL one day.

Speaker 137 We need to hire a personal photographer that just makes us look good.

Speaker 3 They'll be corrupted soon.

Speaker 44 Because we literally have the opposite.

Speaker 1 I mean, I don't know.

Speaker 112 Shane, with the YouTube thumbnails.

Speaker 17 Does he edit us to make us look ugly?

Speaker 60 It's crazy.

Speaker 100 We don't even look like ourselves half the time.

Speaker 3 He has a filter where he can add 30 pounds to you.

Speaker 35 Why?

Speaker 83 Wouldn't it be... Do you think it's...

Speaker 115 I feel like if you're scrolling, you'd want us to not look like...

Speaker 44 We don't look well half the time.

Speaker 139 Yeah.

Speaker 118 I know that there's, listen,

Speaker 6 when we look bad naturally, that's funny, but he distorts us to make us look weird.

Speaker 3 He's not going to like this discourse.

Speaker 125 I mean, does he it do that? But it's the truth, is it not? Is it the truth? Does he do that or no?

Speaker 118 There's times

Speaker 8 I see myself. I'm like, do I look like that?

Speaker 17 No.

Speaker 106 I look like an alien. Yeah, one point.

Speaker 3 I think he added 40 pounds to my body and he drew circles under my eyes.

Speaker 25 Yeah, or like I have like a weird, yeah, a smile I've never done before.

Speaker 102 I think he just kind of, I think he's just like a sicko who just like, oh, that's not a bad one.

Speaker 2 He just likes to

Speaker 105 see us in the weirdest positions.

Speaker 112 But yeah, you're right, PFT.

Speaker 12 We need to get a photographer who does that for us.

Speaker 91 Yeah. Yeah, look at this.

Speaker 125 I don't even know.

Speaker 3 Yeah, you're making the little yikes face. We're both

Speaker 3 bad, bad pig. The skip Bayless thumbnail all time.

Speaker 123 Yeah.

Speaker 71 Somehow Skip looks good.

Speaker 91 I think they look good.

Speaker 141 Thank you. I appreciate that.

Speaker 22 By the way, the Steelers still can win out and win the AFC North.

Speaker 42 So they

Speaker 64 have the record.

Speaker 30 It's versus common opponents.

Speaker 113 They have a better record versus common opponents.

Speaker 37 So they control their own destiny.

Speaker 8 Now, will they? Because they have to play the Chiefs and the Bengals.

Speaker 27 But that wasn't for the AFC North.

Speaker 13 It obviously makes it a little more difficult, but they absolutely still control their own destiny.

Speaker 3 You know, as crazy as this is going to sound because of the last two recaps we just did, I kind of like the Steelers on Christmas.

Speaker 118 Yeah, I like them on Christmas.

Speaker 142 I do not like them in the playoffs.

Speaker 16 I have them in my Texans category of team that I'm not expecting to be in like the AFC championship game.

Speaker 3 Yeah, but I like them on Christmas.

Speaker 146 Yeah, I do. But

Speaker 137 it's also the the Chiefs.

Speaker 3 Yeah, that's true.

Speaker 93 And the Chiefs, but it's Tomlin as a dog at home.

Speaker 3 Tomlin, dog at home, Christmas. Everybody in Pittsburgh is going to be at the game.

Speaker 3 You're not anybody unless you're at that game in Pittsburgh. That's a fact.

Speaker 145 That's a fact.

Speaker 84 All right. Anything else on this game?

Speaker 26 I wish these teams would just play all the time.

Speaker 106 It is fun. Although

Speaker 27 this is the rare one that wasn't close.

Speaker 65 This is a blowout. Yeah, Russell Wilson

Speaker 102 didn't really help us because, like I said,

Speaker 101 I was expecting this game to be close down the end and the Steelers be able to have a chance to win it.

Speaker 23 And Russ kind of ruined that with his fumble and his pick six.

Speaker 3 The pick six was the big part of it. Yeah.

Speaker 12 Well, I mean, the fumble was they were going to go up 14-7.

Speaker 57 Yep.

Speaker 71 Fumbles happen, though.

Speaker 100 Fumbles do happen. Okay.

Speaker 64 Sunday.

Speaker 127 So before we get to Sunday, shout out Scott Hanson.

Speaker 104 He did mention me and us for the witching hour, but also shout out Scott Hanson.

Speaker 26 He's now changed the tagline to seven hours of red zone football starts now.

Speaker 3 Yeah. His apology that he issued on Saturday was great.
First of all, it started out with a football in the camera, letting you know who you're dealing with here. And then he took ownership.

Speaker 3 He said he wrestled with the concept of whether or not to say commercial-free football before he knew that there would be commercials.

Speaker 3 And I can only imagine what an internal struggle that must have been for Scott Hansen. So he discussed that.
He apologized, which I appreciated as a football fan. Yes.

Speaker 3 I think some people still know how business is done. The red zone is one of those entities.
So thank you, Scott, for acknowledging it. Appreciate it.
But can we maybe just lose the commercials?

Speaker 3 They put you in a bad position, Scott.

Speaker 118 They put them in a terrible position.

Speaker 3 They don't care about you, Scott. If they cared about you, they wouldn't have marched you out there with a gun to your head and made you say that.
Yeah,

Speaker 107 it was very funny how serious you took it, which

Speaker 12 I like that he cares that much.

Speaker 3 Yeah, I want him to take it extremely seriously.

Speaker 7 Yeah, he lost sleep this week.

Speaker 107 Yeah.

Speaker 130 That's a fact about the fact that people are like, you lied to us about commercial-free football.

Speaker 133 Okay, so Sunday, Commanders 36, Eagles 33.

Speaker 85 Who would like to start?

Speaker 86 Actually, no, I want to start real quick.

Speaker 3 Okay, you can start.

Speaker 120 I'm going to start, and then I'm going to kick it to you. Okay.

Speaker 136 I'm going to start with just this.

Speaker 3 Is that the gorillas? That was a cackle. Oh, that was sweet.

Speaker 67 You guys are hypocrites.

Speaker 3 FSU Brando made a remix of that. You guys are hypocrites.

Speaker 48 I love that clip.

Speaker 81 I love that clip.

Speaker 48 We still.

Speaker 47 It's either

Speaker 67 scared, and I'm not confident enough or

Speaker 68 talk some shit. Max, we'll get to you.
All right, talk some shit.

Speaker 81 Oh, Max,

Speaker 48 I just wanted to play the clip. It was funny.

Speaker 68 It was a funny clip.

Speaker 81 I got to play.

Speaker 48 That's a funny clip.

Speaker 67 I get to rebuttal that.

Speaker 81 I get to rebuttal that.

Speaker 7 I liked that clip.

Speaker 119 What was that clip? Rebuttal what?

Speaker 48 That was Max laughing.

Speaker 3 After they lost? No, probably after one of our five turnovers that we had.

Speaker 143 Yeah, five to one turnover for the Eagles today.

Speaker 117 PFT, go.

Speaker 140 I mean, Max and PFT, go ahead.

Speaker 3 Here's some analysis. Number one, great hit by Max.
He hit a plus 220 Commanders money line. This is just a lie.

Speaker 65 Money line bet that you're doing.

Speaker 3 This is just a lie. Max put in a money line bet on the Commanders.

Speaker 67 I was pissed about the drop. I immediately said, fuck, this is the Falcons.
They're going to lose this game, bet it, and then cashed out within maybe 30 seconds.

Speaker 67 So you keep saying that, and I did not hit a bet.

Speaker 71 Max made a great bet.

Speaker 47 I lost.

Speaker 12 You made a great bet.

Speaker 3 You made a great bet.

Speaker 148 No, you didn't make it. Yeah, you made it.

Speaker 3 Sick, dude. You made a great bet.
Sick.

Speaker 67 That's so cool of you.

Speaker 89 Keep going. Okay,

Speaker 36 face.

Speaker 3 Here's some stats.

Speaker 3 Jalen Hurts to A.J. Brown, zero completions, zero yards.

Speaker 3 Kenny Pickett to A.J. Brown, eight completions, 97 yards, a tutty.
And we can tack another 60 yards on there for pass interferences that he drew.

Speaker 3 So the chemistry, I'd say, is like best friend status between Kenny Pickett and A.J. Brown.

Speaker 3 The Eagles pretty much wrapped up the division, so that's good for them.

Speaker 3 And Max, it's tough to beat a team three times in a season. So that could be good if we end up playing you again in the playoffs because we already beat you once.

Speaker 3 So then now it's like, oh, you don't have the pressure of having to beat the commanders three times.

Speaker 3 But as several smart people on this podcast have said,

Speaker 3 you know,

Speaker 3 everybody gets injured. Everyone gets nicked up this time of year.
It's not like the Detroit Lions are the only team in the NFL that's injured. Next man up, got to play through it.

Speaker 3 Injuries can't be an excuse. And so someone really smart said that.
So I wanted to make sure to amplify that. We're a national sports podcast.
Injuries happen. Next man up.

Speaker 67 I don't think Kenny Pickett is the reason the Eagles lost that game. I think if Jalen Hurts plays the whole game, the Eagles definitely win that game.

Speaker 67 But I don't think Kenny Pickett is the reason they lost that game. Does that mean that?

Speaker 12 Yeah, that makes sense. Yeah.

Speaker 121 That makes sense.

Speaker 67 Who is it? Braden Mann has to get the ball in the end zone. The commander started at midfield every single possession.
It's Luke McCaffrey. Every single possession.
Okay. I don't understand.

Speaker 67 Like, that is a huge thing. Devontae Smith has to catch that football, and the defense can't give up 22 points in the fourth quarter.
Yeah.

Speaker 67 That's what it comes down to. Yeah.

Speaker 67 None of that has to do with Kenny Pickett.

Speaker 12 Right.

Speaker 12 Yeah.

Speaker 3 And listen,

Speaker 3 Jaden Daniels was fucking awesome today.

Speaker 67 Jaden Daniels threw a fourth quarter pick with two and a half minutes ago. And then you know, would have lost the game if one of the best receivers in football caught the fucking football.

Speaker 3 Then you know what he did? He went down and he threw his fifth quick.

Speaker 67 He's a rookie. He's a rookie that makes very good plays and also very bad plays.

Speaker 3 Yeah, he made some rookie mistakes, had two bad picks today, but he's still fucking awesome.

Speaker 67 If Devontae Smith catches that ball, you are sitting here talking, oh, Jaden Daniels is a rookie. I wish that he didn't make that rookie mistake.

Speaker 3 Are we going to do the ifs game?

Speaker 67 I'm just saying, like,

Speaker 67 you like to just nitpick plays, but he's a rookie that makes good plays and he makes bad plays. No, I always.
He almost lost the game.

Speaker 3 I always say when he screws up, he should have lost the game. He threw two bad plays.

Speaker 67 If Devontae Smith catches that ball, he lost the game.

Speaker 3 He threw two bad picks today, put them in a position where they could have lost, but guess what?

Speaker 67 Where they should have lost and then then he won the game and devante yes correct that last drive was very good by but the drive before was very bad and you can't and you have and you have to say both yeah you have to say both bad picks you didn't say no no no no you did say both i said both

Speaker 142 he did say both bad picks you didn't say both till he said both game when he drive he also had some dots some down but max is right he heckled the good with the bad i i fully admit his picks you weren't you weren't going to until i said it his picks today were bad but when when the game was on the line,

Speaker 12 when it mattered.

Speaker 67 When it was on the line, he threw an interception with two and a half minutes to go.

Speaker 34 But then when the game was on the line.

Speaker 12 Again. No, no, no.
But the gun game could be on the line today.

Speaker 3 The game wasn't on the line then.

Speaker 12 Yes, it was.

Speaker 48 No, he knew that.

Speaker 81 No, he doesn't.

Speaker 3 Because if it was on the line, he threw that pick, then we would have lost. Right.

Speaker 12 That's true.

Speaker 3 Game wasn't on the line.

Speaker 3 It was getting close to the line. Okay, fine.

Speaker 149 Max,

Speaker 16 you lost the one seed today.

Speaker 123 Correct.

Speaker 67 It's fine. That hurts.
Realistically, though, the way that that the rest of the games played out, they probably weren't going to get it anyway. The Vikings beating the Seahawks,

Speaker 67 the Vikings would have to lose the next two games.

Speaker 131 Well, no, no, if you had won today, the Vikings could have easily lost to the Packers and then beaten the Lions.

Speaker 67 Yes,

Speaker 67 that's like the only exact scenario that could happen.

Speaker 65 No,

Speaker 104 it could have also been the Lions losing to the 49ers and then beating the Vikings.

Speaker 62 It's not that crazy.

Speaker 139 Yeah, just one loss. Regardless.

Speaker 73 You had a lot of ways.

Speaker 67 Let's see see how it shakes out. But odds are they weren't going to get the one seed anyway.

Speaker 73 Well, no, that's not true.

Speaker 98 They were very much alive for the one seed.

Speaker 67 Odds are they weren't going to get the one seed anyway.

Speaker 76 They

Speaker 131 are you worried about the defense?

Speaker 67 You have one bad game. It's the best defense in the NFL up for 13 weeks, and then you have one bad game.

Speaker 92 But you've got to admit the bad with the good.

Speaker 42 And this is a bad game. Correct.

Speaker 124 22 points in the fourth quarter.

Speaker 67 You want to remind me how I started off this segment?

Speaker 17 One bad game.

Speaker 12 You want to remind him?

Speaker 67 I said the defense cannot let up 22 points in the fourth quarter. Let's just go around the circle and keep saying stupid fucking shit.

Speaker 3 All right, so I guess I have to talk about what I don't like about my own team because that's how we should properly appreciate a win on this podcast.

Speaker 133 Is betting against your team when

Speaker 75 the game's almost over.

Speaker 12 Is that stupid?

Speaker 67 You will bet against your team whenever.

Speaker 123 Never. You don't give a fuck about your team.

Speaker 48 I would never.

Speaker 67 You are watching your games wanting to lose.

Speaker 12 Yeah, I'm not betting against them.

Speaker 67 I'm watching your games wanting to lose.

Speaker 3 Hank is at least consistent with that. I would expect that from Hank.
I didn't expect that from you. You're better than that.

Speaker 67 That was a moment where I was like, this is going to lose. Maybe if I bet on it, they won't lose.

Speaker 67 I was putting that money.

Speaker 65 Why did you cash out?

Speaker 67 Because I got bullied. I always get bullied.

Speaker 12 You don't always get bullied.

Speaker 3 There was a point when Kenny got into the game and Max's initial reaction was, I hope Kenny plays well, but not really that well. Do you regret that?

Speaker 77 I regret that.

Speaker 3 Because that was bad.

Speaker 67 I regret that.

Speaker 119 You didn't think that Jalen. That I will

Speaker 3 take it. He couldn't take a little pressure.

Speaker 12 No, not pressure.

Speaker 67 I just hate listening to the fucking media.

Speaker 146 You are the media.

Speaker 3 No, we are all the media with X.

Speaker 67 Other media.

Speaker 152 So

Speaker 152 Kenny Pickett, not.

Speaker 67 Do you think you win that game if Jalen Hurts plays the whole game?

Speaker 71 I don't know. Yeah.

Speaker 3 Ball bounces a couple weird ways. Who knows?

Speaker 146 I'll say

Speaker 146 another thing.

Speaker 67 Have to talk about. Two things we have to talk about.
Okay.

Speaker 17 Two things we have to talk about. Please.

Speaker 67 CJ Gardner Johnson getting thrown out of the game

Speaker 67 for being mean.

Speaker 3 For words. Yeah.

Speaker 67 For words.

Speaker 67 Has anyone ever seen that in the NFL?

Speaker 71 Hank has.

Speaker 67 Number two. Hank said he has.

Speaker 68 I guess Jalen Hurts has a concussion.

Speaker 71 We don't know what words.

Speaker 67 I guess Jalen Hurts has a concussion. The NFL needs to be consistent about when they're taking players out because there are hits that are so much worse than what happened to him

Speaker 67 that never get addressed.

Speaker 4 He gave thumbs up.

Speaker 67 He gave thumbs up, went to the medical tent, put his helmet back in to get back in the game, and then someone from the NFL took him out.

Speaker 57 Explain this.

Speaker 67 Explain Josh Allen against the Texans.

Speaker 48 He was a family. Oh, you have this pulled up.

Speaker 65 Oh, you have this pulled up.

Speaker 67 Why? I get it. Player safety.
I think he's safe.

Speaker 67 Make it make sense.

Speaker 11 Make it make sense. Make it make sense.

Speaker 67 Memes told me to memes was like, the Josh Allen thing, you got to talk about

Speaker 3 five seconds before he started recording.

Speaker 59 Yeah, like I had no introduction.

Speaker 57 But did Josh give thumbs up?

Speaker 12 No.

Speaker 81 But hold on, hold on, Max.

Speaker 149 You don't know what they said.

Speaker 72 They could have said, hey, Jalen, do you have a concussion?

Speaker 57 And he gave thumbs up.

Speaker 7 Like, yeah, I do.

Speaker 28 Thumbs up.

Speaker 67 The CJ Gardner Johnson getting ejected for being mean. I got you.

Speaker 71 We don't know what. I got you there.

Speaker 67 That's just so dumb. It doesn't.

Speaker 60 It's not dumb.

Speaker 72 You don't think they could have said?

Speaker 43 Hey, Josh.

Speaker 149 Jalen, do you have a concussion? And he went, yeah.

Speaker 67 He doesn't deserve a response.

Speaker 47 Yeah, I do.

Speaker 18 He doesn't deserve a response.

Speaker 3 We don't know what CJ said. We don't know the words that he said.

Speaker 91 Do you want to come out of the game?

Speaker 3 Maybe they asked him, Yeah, you have a concussion.

Speaker 118 Jalen, do you want to come out of the game?

Speaker 117 You feel like you have a concussion?

Speaker 12 Give it thumbs up.

Speaker 153 Maybe they asked CD dudes.

Speaker 48 Hey,

Speaker 3 hey, CJ, do you have a concussion? And he was like, Yeah. And then they threw a flag.
They're like, okay, I'll just, I'll kick you out because you're concussed.

Speaker 73 Where's he going?

Speaker 73 Did he say where he's going? No, he just left.

Speaker 77 He just left.

Speaker 60 Jaden Daniels' last drive was awesome.

Speaker 3 Yeah, yeah, he had a few really good drives today. The legs were working.

Speaker 3 Not having Noah Brown out there is a pretty big impact. Although, hey, credit to Jamison Crowder, who's still very much in the league.
Caught two touchdowns today.

Speaker 3 Yeah, Max, you back?

Speaker 67 Yeah, I'm back.

Speaker 77 Okay. Okay, so.

Speaker 3 Where'd you go?

Speaker 67 I just

Speaker 67 did a little pacing outside.

Speaker 154 Took a lot of boots.

Speaker 148 What are they?

Speaker 151 The Anger Sharks?

Speaker 67 No, I was good. I was good.
I should do that more often.

Speaker 6 Okay, that was just a quick timeout.

Speaker 17 Quick timeout.

Speaker 67 Sometimes I need a quick timeout when you guys are just being so fucking dumb.

Speaker 68 I also feel like

Speaker 81 this loss is a little bit more.

Speaker 133 I think, if we're being honest here,

Speaker 150 I think you had not even thought about the fact that the concussion spotter could have said, hey, Jalen, do you have a concussion?

Speaker 13 And they went, yes, thumbs up.

Speaker 118 Like that dawning on you crushed you because you realized everything you thought about the thumbs up was a lie.

Speaker 82 Yes,

Speaker 3 this loss is pretty much designed in the lab to piss Max off the most the way that it went down. Because, yeah,

Speaker 3 kicking an impact player out for words, like two personal fouls on words, pretty crazy. Yeah.
I don't know what he said. I don't know what they were looking at.
But the first one was nuts because

Speaker 3 he says something, then he gets punched in the face. Yeah.
And then they throw a flag and they say, yeah, personal foul on C.J. Gardner Johnson.

Speaker 47 Yeah.

Speaker 3 And it's like, wait, what happened there? Nobody knows exactly. But the ref was like right in between them.
So I guess he heard something.

Speaker 3 But yeah, it feels like this was just designed to get Max the angles. As mad as possible.
Good job, NFL.

Speaker 61 Yeah.

Speaker 26 No, Max got as mad as possible. I mean,

Speaker 148 I think, Max, here,

Speaker 29 something positive.

Speaker 102 I think you guys win that game easily with Jalen Hurts.

Speaker 110 Easily.

Speaker 41 The way Saquon could not run like he could run in the first quarter, first half without Jalen Hurts in there.

Speaker 105 Because

Speaker 37 they basically can play Kenny Pickett completely different.

Speaker 67 They basically just said, we're going to make Kenny Pickett beat us. Correct.
And Kenny Pickett, unfortunately, could not do that. But I don't think Kenny Pickett.

Speaker 67 Kenny Pickett did enough to win the game if Devontae Smith catches the ball.

Speaker 74 That's also going to win the game.

Speaker 67 That's why I'm not going to put this blame on Kenny Pickett.

Speaker 65 Also, Saquon had a drop, too.

Speaker 67 He did. And so did A.J.
Brown.

Speaker 65 Yeah.

Speaker 96 Saquon had a drop.

Speaker 3 He had a drop, yeah. Because he's dropped a good job.
Good defense by Bobby Wagner. Saquon's drop.
We should say that it was a good defense.

Speaker 77 Correct. Yeah.

Speaker 67 So was the AJ, it was a good defense by Lattimore, but the Devontae Smith, there was no one within three yards of him.

Speaker 3 Lattimore did not look that good today. A.J.
Brown kind of abused him. Yeah.
It was not looking great. He got a couple bad PIs, and he was getting cooked out there a little bit.

Speaker 3 Made me pump my brakes on Lattimore a little bit.

Speaker 67 Credit to you.

Speaker 107 Credit to me. Credit to you.
That's huge.

Speaker 3 So, Max, we might be on a collision course. There's a chance that, I mean, the commanders, what are they at, 94% right now?

Speaker 67 Now I want you so bad.

Speaker 61 Oh. Okay.
Well.

Speaker 68 Oh, you want him.

Speaker 3 The way it shakes out.

Speaker 125 With Kenny or Jalen?

Speaker 91 With Jalen. Oh, okay.

Speaker 67 If Kenny...

Speaker 72 Well, because Kenny wasn't the reason you lost the game, so I didn't know if that was.

Speaker 132 No, it wasn't.

Speaker 140 Yeah, I thought maybe you were like, hey, we can beat him with Kenny.

Speaker 17 Because that would be the ultimate revenge.

Speaker 67 I still think that I still would be confident if we had Kenny at home and a week to prepare.

Speaker 140 Because if you're a man, if you're a man, you beat him with Kenny.

Speaker 125 No, no. No, I'm just saying.

Speaker 140 If you're a man, you beat him with Kenny.

Speaker 3 Yeah, I mean, the way that you're talking right now, a week to prepare with Kenny, I'll take that.

Speaker 12 I don't get the kickoffs.

Speaker 67 Unless they were trying to get away from it. Your special teams is just bad.
Bad. So bad.
And it's one-third of the game.

Speaker 148 That's the thing that will wear its ugly head.

Speaker 67 That's the thing. You got to be...

Speaker 91 What's the quote?

Speaker 67 Two-thirds of the game?

Speaker 54 Two-thirds of the game is mental.

Speaker 29 A third of the game is Jalen Hurts not getting kicked out of the game.

Speaker 67 No, this isn't. Nope.
Oh.

Speaker 3 It's a third of the game.

Speaker 67 The NFL didn't want Jalen Hurts to play today for some reason.

Speaker 151 You don't think so?

Speaker 113 They didn't want him to play?

Speaker 67 He thumbs up, and then he had his helmet on the sideline ready to go back in.

Speaker 3 What if they asked him, hey, what month is it? And he gave a thumbs up. I'm happy he's safe.

Speaker 61 Yeah, me. I'm happy he's safe.

Speaker 71 Me too.

Speaker 3 I'm happy he's safe. Player safety.

Speaker 124 Yeah, player safety is important.

Speaker 26 But again, he might have just said, yeah, I have a concussion.

Speaker 153 You didn't even think about that.

Speaker 3 So, Max, should Siriani shave his head?

Speaker 146 Oh, yeah. Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 73 Yeah, we scalped him.

Speaker 18 He shave his head.

Speaker 65 Old school shit.

Speaker 3 Also, huge, huge weekend for the Commanders. Got RFK Stadium back as a site.
That was like in the middle of the night on Friday, Saturday morning. That's huge.
And then following it up with this.

Speaker 3 Listen,

Speaker 3 this is a game that we probably had

Speaker 3 no right to win. It looked like we don't apologize.
No, I'm not going to apologize. We lost this game like five different times, maybe more.

Speaker 3 So I'll take a win. It's hard to win in the NFL.

Speaker 149 It's hard to win in the NFL, Max.

Speaker 3 Okay, so, Max, I'll take another shit on my team because apparently I have to do that.

Speaker 3 Dan Quinn, his time management at the end of the game was terrible. It was awful.
But then Jaden said, doesn't matter because I'm Jaden.

Speaker 67 I would actually argue that it was great.

Speaker 48 It ended up working. Because

Speaker 89 you can't leave time for Kenny.

Speaker 67 No, you can't leave time for Kenny.

Speaker 3 It ended. It's been working out perfectly, but I'm a process guy.

Speaker 93 Six seconds is actually maybe a little too much time for KP.

Speaker 3 Yeah.

Speaker 67 No, that wasn't unfortunately not enough time.

Speaker 26 All right, well, it's good that you're not yelling at us and getting angry.

Speaker 67 I didn't get angry at all.

Speaker 65 No, not at all.

Speaker 67 I didn't get angry at all in this segment.

Speaker 67 This was a mature conversation between colleagues.

Speaker 3 Cause number one of the loss was your kickoff specialist not being able to reach these.

Speaker 67 I was so mad about the kickoff team today. Every single time you brought it back to midfield, every time.

Speaker 60 But give credit to Luke McCaffrey.

Speaker 67 I will.

Speaker 67 Give credit. Sure.
And I'll give credit to your return team for blocking well. Yeah, thank you.
But why not?

Speaker 67 Why couldn't you just put it in the end zone? Like, we couldn't.

Speaker 67 Like,

Speaker 67 that last drive is a different drive

Speaker 67 if it's starting from the 25 instead of the 45.

Speaker 48 Yeah, absolutely.

Speaker 127 Absolutely.

Speaker 129 Okay, well,

Speaker 52 congrats, PFT. 93% chance to make the playoffs now.

Speaker 30 Love it.

Speaker 34 Love it. And holy shit, would it be great if you guys played?

Speaker 3 First time since 2012 that we've had 10 wins. And looking at a record like this, I believe that's the first time since like 1991.
Yeah. That it's happened.
That's crazy. So it's been a long ass time.

Speaker 1 Do you have any last words for Hank?

Speaker 8 Because you were very upset at Hank in the gambling cave as well.

Speaker 3 Hank's just a prick that just like wants to be so

Speaker 67 he just wants to exist he just wants to be so like you that

Speaker 67 there was going i was going to yell at pft regardless right like you that had nothing to do with you the clip in question we could play it i literally started the clip by saying i just don't want drama

Speaker 3 you were being you're being totally serious no no he's been legit because he was talking about the kenny pickett oh yeah yeah the jalen hurts thing yeah i just i want drama celtics to just collapse in the playoffs this year so badly.

Speaker 145 That's all I want.

Speaker 12 That's all I want. That's the only week in Hurt.

Speaker 73 Santa Rosa.

Speaker 67 I'm sitting right next to you with my face right in your fucking grill as Jalen Brown or as Jason Tatum just bricks a three that would have sent the team to the finals.

Speaker 75 Is this to the Sixers?

Speaker 67 The Sixers are dead.

Speaker 62 I mean, that's damn shit.

Speaker 149 No, they're not. They can get to 10 wins.

Speaker 67 No, Sixers are dead. Now

Speaker 67 my sole goal is to just somehow have the Celtics lose. And look at your face when it happens.

Speaker 123 Oh, not the Celtic business.

Speaker 75 And look at your face. Not winning the Super Bowl.

Speaker 12 I'm talking about the NBA season.

Speaker 26 He's on to the NBA season.

Speaker 104 This loss ended at the time.

Speaker 12 No, no.

Speaker 67 You guys love putting words in my mouth.

Speaker 3 But congrats, Max. Second place in the NFC.

Speaker 12 Pretty good.

Speaker 67 That's also not true.

Speaker 92 Also, the laughing clip was incredible.

Speaker 106 I played that because it's a great clip.

Speaker 20 You laughing was very funny.

Speaker 92 I don't even remember what part of the game that was.

Speaker 62 Yeah, I mean, after one of the turnovers.

Speaker 3 Yeah, I think it was after maybe the Deami Brown fumble.

Speaker 62 I think it was Brian Robinson fumble.

Speaker 3 No, because Brian Robbins was told that.

Speaker 65 It was early.

Speaker 67 Yeah. It was early.

Speaker 67 The laugh was early.

Speaker 101 Yeah, losing a game when you're 5-1 turnover battle is pretty crazy.

Speaker 3 It's hard to do. That's really hard to do.
But Jaden Daniels is fucking.

Speaker 12 Except for those picks which are bad.

Speaker 67 Not blaming Kenny. Not blaming Kenny on the loss.
But if he could

Speaker 67 keep a drive going together a little bit longer, that would have been great.

Speaker 3 Max, do you think that by the end of games, opponents actually like Jaden Daniels as a friend?

Speaker 12 Because he's crazy.

Speaker 3 He spends like half the time between the plays talking to the other team and like joking around with him. And they're like laughing and shaking hands and playing grab ass.

Speaker 3 I feel like by the end of the game, they're like, fuck, I respect that dude. Like they kind of like him.

Speaker 67 Him and Jalen Carter were like boys during the game. Jalen Carter is a mean guy.
Yeah. Like why were they...
It probably took him out of the game a little bit.

Speaker 65 Yeah, Jaden's because he

Speaker 67 probably likes to play with a little bit of edge. Yeah.

Speaker 99 He's too nice.

Speaker 67 He was just dapping him up after a good pass rush.

Speaker 3 He's a good play.

Speaker 34 I hate that.

Speaker 67 I hate that. Yeah.

Speaker 67 But

Speaker 158 what?

Speaker 67 If Devontae Smith just caught that ball, you would hate that a little bit more.

Speaker 11 Is that what you meant when you said it was the Falcons game all over again?

Speaker 67 Yes. Oh.
Because you remember Saquon dropped a wide-open pass that would have won the game.

Speaker 76 I do.

Speaker 67 Devontae Smith did that today. Now I'm thinking about it.

Speaker 67 And then the Falcons went down and scored

Speaker 12 perfectly very little time.

Speaker 3 That was Monday night football. That was Jason Kelsey night.

Speaker 67 So that's what I'm saying.

Speaker 95 So if Saquon and Devontae Smith catch the ball, you one seed.

Speaker 92 Correct. Oh, yeah.
Minimum.

Speaker 3 Both of those.

Speaker 67 If two of the best players in the league just catch a wide open ball to win the game.

Speaker 119 One seed.

Speaker 3 One seed. One seed.
So now the Commanders-Falcons game next Sunday night, big game.

Speaker 3 Very big game, Falcons-Commanders. Yeah.

Speaker 121 Well, not as much for you.

Speaker 3 No, it's big.

Speaker 52 But the Seahawks losing, I mean,

Speaker 42 even if you lose, like, the Seahawks, I mean, the Seahawks have to win out.

Speaker 3 No, but it's a big game like you're fucking with.

Speaker 62 You proceeding to.

Speaker 42 You still have six seed potential.

Speaker 71 Yeah, that's what I'm saying.

Speaker 3 For seeding, it's a massive game.

Speaker 91 Oh, okay.

Speaker 105 Yeah, I guess that is a big game.

Speaker 76 Oh, no, the Packers.

Speaker 125 That's because the Packers haven't...

Speaker 151 I want your ass.

Speaker 76 The Packers are about to win.

Speaker 3 Yeah, but then if the Packers lose to the Vikings next week, and we win out, then I think we get the sixth seed.

Speaker 152 You'd have them even if the Packers?

Speaker 65 No,

Speaker 3 I think so. The same record? I think so.

Speaker 144 We have to find that

Speaker 3 tiebreaker. I've been screwing around with the playoff thing that I have no idea what's up.

Speaker 95 The tiebreakers all are very hard.

Speaker 34 So here's what I'll do.

Speaker 3 I'll put it. If the Saints win now both teams 10-5, it's got the Commanders over the Packers if they're both 10-5.

Speaker 3 So I would assume that, yeah, if we can win out and the Packers can lose one game, then 6-seed, seed, then we're looking at

Speaker 96 Tyburg Rose and Commanders, yeah, it says right there.

Speaker 3 Then we'd be going to the Rams. Wow.

Speaker 3 And then the Packers go into the Link.

Speaker 3 That would be scary. Max, now who would you rather play?

Speaker 67 I've already made that statement.

Speaker 62 Yeah. The Packers.

Speaker 67 No, literally, like 30 seconds.

Speaker 102 He wants you.

Speaker 120 Just with Kenny.

Speaker 95 He said he wants your ass with Kenny.

Speaker 12 I will take you to the next one. He'll take you.

Speaker 67 But even with Kenny, I would still.

Speaker 129 Okay.

Speaker 89 All All right, PFD, you want to rip a couple ads?

Speaker 43 Good job, Max.

Speaker 42 You didn't get so, so mad.

Speaker 18 A couple times you got a little mad.

Speaker 110 Not so. I mean, took a timeout.
He had to take a timeout.

Speaker 83 Okay,

Speaker 126 Bengals 24 Brown 6.

Speaker 13 The Bengals still alive.

Speaker 43 Joe Burrow,

Speaker 93 that touchdown pass he made when he was falling down was so goddamn sick.

Speaker 88 And

Speaker 38 this was, we talked about this on Friday, but it was Joe Burrow versus DTR, and DTR should probably not be playing quarterback in the NFL.

Speaker 149 Probably not.

Speaker 3 Probably not. And then Joe Burrow, what did his teammates say about him? Like, that's not Batman.
That's... That motherfucker's Superman.
Yeah. And I guess...
T. Higgins said that.

Speaker 4 T.

Speaker 3 Higgins said he got knocked down by his own player and was able to throw the ball with his body horizontal, his knee on the ground.

Speaker 3 And it just feels like the Bengals, I mean, there was nothing the Browns can do really with DTR as their quarterback. They couldn't put together a drive.

Speaker 8 Well, I mean, the start of the game, they get a huge run from Jerome Ford.

Speaker 113 They get to the goal line, and he fumbles on like the maybe the

Speaker 106 inch line.

Speaker 8 And it was like, all right, if you don't score there, it's not your day.

Speaker 24 And Joe Burrow, that was his seventh consecutive 3TD, 250-plus-yard performance.

Speaker 136 That's the first quarterback ever to do that in the NFL.

Speaker 121 He now has 39 touchdowns, 4,229 yards.

Speaker 97 He leads the league in both.

Speaker 88 He's having an MVP season without the MVP because of the way the team is played, but they're still alive.

Speaker 20 Also, Jamar Chase, I believe, will get the triple crown.

Speaker 93 I know he just eclipsed 1,500 yards. I feel like he has 100 touchdowns.

Speaker 65 How many?

Speaker 3 He broke his own franchise record. He leads the NFL in receptions.
He's got 108 receiving yards with 1,510 and touchdown catches. So 16.
Triple crown.

Speaker 3 So he's defeated everybody in the NFL, including himself. He beat all of his own records from last year.

Speaker 26 Yeah, and he's up four on the touchdowns.

Speaker 15 He's up a couple hundred yards.

Speaker 66 Yeah, it feels like he's going to get, I guess the only thing that could be close is receptions, but

Speaker 104 he's been incredible.

Speaker 13 So it's, and this is all,

Speaker 26 this this season is going to drive Bengals fans even crazier.

Speaker 65 Although, not dead.

Speaker 87 Again, week 17 is going to be that game against the Broncos, which I believe is Saturday, Hanks, Saturday football,

Speaker 101 will be massive because if they win that game, now they desperately need the Steelers to beat the Chiefs.

Speaker 108 The Steelers beat the Chiefs because the Chiefs will rest everyone.

Speaker 1 Although maybe they wouldn't because that would be, I was thinking about it.

Speaker 36 If the Chiefs win on Christmas Day and then they decide to rest their starters in week 18, Carson Wentz.

Speaker 26 That would be, I don't know the exact amount of days.

Speaker 37 I'm going to look at it right now because it feels like it would be a massive amount of days.

Speaker 28 It would be one,

Speaker 82 14.

Speaker 85 I think it would be, it would be almost 25 days, 24 days that they would be resting.

Speaker 3 Rest versus rest.

Speaker 29 If they rested their starters and got the buy, that's a lot.

Speaker 72 That might be too much.

Speaker 24 Don't you agree?

Speaker 3 It's a lot because, well, that's also like a little little mini buy for Andy Reid to cook on, though. Reed probably schemes something up in that week 18 game, even with his backups.
True.

Speaker 17 True. But

Speaker 44 that feels like that would be a shitload of time to

Speaker 16 having everyone sit out.

Speaker 3 If Mahomes is dinged up at all after the Steelers game, they'll just sit him anyways. Yeah.
If they win that game.

Speaker 148 Either way.

Speaker 26 The point is, the Bengals are still alive going into week 17, which at many points in the season thought wouldn't be possible.

Speaker 3 We said they were dead like five times.

Speaker 27 A million times.

Speaker 102 And

Speaker 37 I don't know. There's nothing really to say about the Brown season because DTR is playing right now, so it's not even watchable.

Speaker 5 Miles Garrett, I guess I say this, Miles Garrett, the first player ever to get 100 sacks before turning 29 years old.

Speaker 104 That's pretty cool.

Speaker 29 Pretty good.

Speaker 95 And he also probably wants to trade.

Speaker 3 And you know what? I say trade him.

Speaker 26 Dude, I don't know why anyone would have any problem with that when he's such an incredible player and he's like, yeah, I don't really want.

Speaker 104 I'm about to be 29.

Speaker 65 i don't really want to be here for a rebuild uh because if i'm here for a rebuild by the time i'm like 33 and we're rebuilding i don't i don't know if i'll still have it i mean most of his career has been for a rebuild that's right so infuriating he he should not i wouldn't want to do that if he again if i were him hell no hell no ton free yeah i i i would love i would love to see the bengals somehow crash the party out it's going to be i think i think they still need the colts to lose and the dolphins to lose so they still need a lot of help But again, they're still playing for something, which is cool because that's really what it was like.

Speaker 26 I want to see Joe Burrow and Jamar Chase still playing for something.

Speaker 3 Just from a pure enjoyment standpoint, Stefanski not playing Jameis. I guess he's got a bad shoulder, right? Yeah.
So we're going with a shoulder excuse.

Speaker 3 But at least in games where you're coaching Jameis Winston, it makes you use your imagination as a head coach because he gets you into some jams that you wouldn't. normally be in.
Right.

Speaker 3 And you have to figure a way out of them. Right.
And then you can actually use the whole playbook and have him throw the ball downfield.

Speaker 3 It's got to be a lot more fun to coach him than it is to to coach DTR. Yeah.
So hopefully, once he's healthy, put him back in.

Speaker 76 Yeah, put him back in.

Speaker 21 Get him back in.

Speaker 110 I don't think they're going to put him back in.

Speaker 118 But get him back in.

Speaker 4 Make us enjoy watching Browns games, please.

Speaker 3 Yeah, for the ratings.

Speaker 112 We'd really appreciate it.

Speaker 100 For our personal enjoyment,

Speaker 60 I'll be selfish. Yeah.

Speaker 127 I want it for myself.

Speaker 3 I want it for the good of the league. Yeah.

Speaker 60 For the good of the league and ourselves.

Speaker 3 Yeah, listen, there's probably like 50 or 60 first-time watchers every weekend for Browns games. Yeah.
I've never seen a football game before. And they want to see.

Speaker 3 Let's give them a show.

Speaker 99 Let them see Jameis. Let them see Jameis.

Speaker 76 Okay, moving on.

Speaker 50 Next up. Colts, 38.

Speaker 133 Titans, 30.

Speaker 36 This was a crazy game.

Speaker 106 Oh, oh, we got a touchdown.

Speaker 92 No, we got a pick.

Speaker 110 The Bucs have found

Speaker 24 every single way to fuck up this game.

Speaker 31 That was crazy. That's bad.

Speaker 93 That was crazy.

Speaker 23 All right, actually, we're going to do the Lions Bears.

Speaker 116 I was going to do the Colts-Titans because I thought the Bucs were going to maybe score, and I wanted to half-watch to see if Mike Evans, so we could get the TD parlay for the people.

Speaker 97 But that doesn't look like it's in the cards tonight because that was an insane interception.

Speaker 94 How do you intercept that?

Speaker 6 The Cowboys, no one wants to play this Cowboys team.

Speaker 37 No one's going to have to play this Cowboys team after week 18, but no one wants to play this Cowboys team.

Speaker 3 That was crazy. Just took it away from him on the way down.

Speaker 143 Oh, no.

Speaker 161 Do you have to play this Cowboys team?

Speaker 67 Yeah, I'll be there, though.

Speaker 82 Okay. So you're going to save the season.

Speaker 62 You have to play this Cowboys team.

Speaker 62 Yeah.

Speaker 67 Wait, so you just said that.

Speaker 107 You just.

Speaker 107 No, I seriously.

Speaker 104 No, I was saying that because they're actually playing decent football right now.

Speaker 145 All right.

Speaker 133 Lions 34, Bears, 17.

Speaker 110 I don't know what to say other than the Lions just clowned us, which I expected, but

Speaker 91 the fake fumble play

Speaker 107 that Jared and Ben Johnson cooked up.

Speaker 98 That was extra clowning.

Speaker 3 How many more trick plays does Ben Johnson have

Speaker 3 he's asking his quarterback, hey, can you accidentally on purpose fumble the ball to play

Speaker 3 and then fall down and then stand up and throw it? Like,

Speaker 3 that's not a play that a normal, sane person would use in a matchup. No offense, Big Cat.
No. In a matchup against the Bears.

Speaker 8 No offense taken.

Speaker 118 I mean, well, they said they liked the look against the Bears.

Speaker 112 All right, so here's what I'm hoping.

Speaker 108 Ben Johnson was just

Speaker 104 trying to make the Bears pay even more money for him by

Speaker 112 because there was a report that he's intrigued by the Bears,

Speaker 98 which I don't even

Speaker 37 like, he might be just intrigued.

Speaker 135 Like, how can they be so bad?

Speaker 15 I'm interested.

Speaker 124 How has this franchise been around for 105 years and been this bad?

Speaker 3 But he also said he likes the sound of Caleb Williams' pass. He likes

Speaker 43 how the ball whistles.

Speaker 3 Yeah, he loves his balls.

Speaker 135 It would be funny if he came out and was just like, yeah, when I said I was intrigued by the Bears, I was literally just like, how is this possible?

Speaker 3 We all should be intrigued by this.

Speaker 60 How have they never had a 4,000-yard passer 105 years in the league?

Speaker 3 To invent a new genre of play, the stumble rooski, and then pull it off,

Speaker 3 the balls that it takes to do that, and they're good enough to execute it. It's crazy.

Speaker 102 And then, so

Speaker 3 when we were saying last week, like, I don't know how much new stuff the Lions can try on offense with all the injuries they have defensively, how many more games can they keep winning?

Speaker 3 I think Ben Johnson just has a never-ending pack of tricks.

Speaker 43 Deepest bag.

Speaker 39 And then to add insult to injury, I did text our good friend Jerry Goff, and I said, was the fake trip play necessary?

Speaker 93 And he replied, sorry, big guy.

Speaker 24 Next year is the year.

Speaker 107 Hey big guy, yeah.

Speaker 12 Which I've also thought about this.

Speaker 121 Maybe he knows his offensive quarters are going to the Bears.

Speaker 26 That's why he said next year is the year.

Speaker 3 Or he was just saying that to get your hopes up.

Speaker 96 That also could be the case.

Speaker 12 Yeah, I don't know.

Speaker 60 I mean, the Bears suck.

Speaker 23 The defense is awful now.

Speaker 103 Caleb was, I mean, he had a nice pass to Keenan Allen.

Speaker 101 I don't really know. I mean,

Speaker 124 the whole team just bums me out so much.

Speaker 3 Do you think the big guy was meant as like a pat on the head?

Speaker 8 I think he was probably saying I'm fat.

Speaker 3 Yeah.

Speaker 47 Yeah.

Speaker 71 It is what it is. It's tough.

Speaker 126 Yeah. I mean, the whole, I mean,

Speaker 7 the Bears are a four-win team that kicked a field goal down 20 points on fourth and seven from the 12.

Speaker 30 Thomas Brown, there's the door.

Speaker 3 Well, yeah, they don't really have a coach. He should be coaching up in the booth.

Speaker 83 He should be coaching up in the booth.

Speaker 3 Put the head coach up in the booth.

Speaker 71 Let's see what happens.

Speaker 36 It's hard.

Speaker 104 I just wanted wanted to end, and we have to play one more game on national television on Thursday night.

Speaker 22 But the Lions deserve all the credit.

Speaker 8 They bounce, they get off the mat.

Speaker 38 They're 7-0 on the road this year, which I know there's talk like, can the Lions go on the road?

Speaker 106 Yeah, they can.

Speaker 26 They're 7-0 on the road.

Speaker 131 Jameer Gibbs also answered the bell of like, can he be the guy?

Speaker 124 Because he carried the ball 23 times at 109 yards.

Speaker 8 So yeah, the Lions are just, that's how a good team bounces back.

Speaker 104 That's what a good team looks like when they get punched in the mouth.

Speaker 26 They come and take care of business, and it was never in doubt.

Speaker 65 Jared Goff

Speaker 3 has learned how to defeat the cold. Yeah.
The narrative's over.

Speaker 22 He looked great today.

Speaker 134 And

Speaker 27 the only thing that was the only cold that bothered him is I thought for a second that Dan Campbell's nose was going to fall off.

Speaker 91 He had the reddest nose of all time. He was very, very red.

Speaker 3 You could tell that shit was running, probably crusting over a little bit.

Speaker 71 Yeah.

Speaker 43 The Lions are just very, very good.

Speaker 13 And their defense, I know they have some no-names, but

Speaker 93 they played well.

Speaker 130 And so,

Speaker 26 yeah, I just want this season to end.

Speaker 36 The only thing I'm rooting for now is that I want Caleb to, so he's the first rookie quarterback in Bears history to go over 3,000 yards.

Speaker 30 I'm hoping that he can somehow, I think he'd have to throw 364 yards twice.

Speaker 108 So, average 364 yards to break the all-time record for Bears rushing

Speaker 98 or sorry, passing yards in a season.

Speaker 138 That's all I'm rooting for. Defeat the graphic.

Speaker 2 Yeah, the Bears, this is, so Caleb went over 3,000 yards.

Speaker 64 That is the 13th 13th time the Bears have had a passer over 3,000 yards in their 105-year history.

Speaker 22 To put that into perspective, Matt Ryan and Eli Manning both have 14 seasons over 3,000 yards.

Speaker 38 So Matt Ryan and Eli Manning by themselves have more 3,000 yards than a team playing football for 105 years.

Speaker 26 It's pretty crazy.

Speaker 3 So right now you guys are drafting ninth.

Speaker 24 Yeah, this is the worst year to be bad because everybody's bad.

Speaker 3 Every team's really bad. Have you thought about what direction you're going to draft?

Speaker 140 I would like an offensive lineman, but I don't know if there's going to be one there.

Speaker 26 So then just take defensive line.

Speaker 115 Whatever the draft pick is, it has to say line.

Speaker 145 Take a big guy.

Speaker 138 It has to be line.

Speaker 64 That's it.

Speaker 124 It just has to be line

Speaker 113 with a letter in front of it.

Speaker 64 That's it. Okay.

Speaker 17 Nothing else.

Speaker 8 If you tell me anything else, I'm sending it back.

Speaker 120 And Ryan Pohl should probably not be the one making the pick because there's some things that have just...

Speaker 98 Listen, I like the guy personally, but

Speaker 116 we took a project in the third round who can't even be on the field.

Speaker 102 From you?

Speaker 47 Yeah.

Speaker 20 And then we took a punter in the fourth round who I like, Torre Taylor, because he had a sick punt today.

Speaker 3 Aren't you glad you took Tori Taylor?

Speaker 30 Yeah, maybe not.

Speaker 26 Maybe probably could have used an offensive lineman.

Speaker 110 Yeah.

Speaker 18 He's a pretty good punter.

Speaker 22 Congrats to the Lions, though.

Speaker 133 13 wins is the most in the history of the franchise in a single season.

Speaker 39 So that's pretty awesome.

Speaker 121 And yeah, they keep rolling and they have endless trick plays that will just keep coming out.

Speaker 37 And I'm hoping that was Ben Johnson

Speaker 95 showing, I mean, the McCassy, even if he was showing the McCaskies what to do, like, they don't know.

Speaker 3 I don't see, I'm kind of with you that that might have been more of a negotiation thing. Yeah.
Like he knows. The price just went up.
He knows they want him.

Speaker 114 That was another million dollars that trip.

Speaker 3 But now look what I can do. Right.
Right. You're going to have to pay a premium.

Speaker 24 Again, take out the sorry big guy part.

Speaker 37 Next year's the year.

Speaker 39 Ben Johnson might have told Jared, like, hey, I'm going to go to the bear.

Speaker 17 This is the last dance?

Speaker 106 Yeah, I'm going to the Bears.

Speaker 92 Yeah.

Speaker 26 I'm intrigued by, I want to see just how dysfunctional this organization could be.

Speaker 3 I want to hear his balls whistling by my ears. Oh, my.

Speaker 45 Hear those balls.

Speaker 133 Colts, 38 Titans, 30.

Speaker 26 This was a crazy game, and the fact that it started 7-0 Titans, then it was 38-7 Colts, then it was 38-30 final.

Speaker 4 But I'd say,

Speaker 8 because this game doesn't really have a lot of meaning, I know the Colts are technically still alive.

Speaker 22 This game was the game, and everyone knows this, listening to this right now.

Speaker 27 Every year in the fantasy playoffs, there's one guy who, if you have him, you won.

Speaker 16 And if you went against him, you lost.

Speaker 29 And it's just cut and dry, black and white, as clear as that.

Speaker 22 And that was Jonathan Taylor this year.

Speaker 106 This was the year if you could have the best team in the world and you go up against Jonathan Taylor today who had 218 yards and three touchdowns and you're gone.

Speaker 3 Well, also, if you went up against Jonathan Taylor last week, you probably won. A lot lot of Jonathan Taylor teams got bounced last week.
Yeah. And this is probably like a big consolation prize game.

Speaker 43 Well, I have Jonathan Taylor on her team.

Speaker 30 I had a buy.

Speaker 123 Okay. Yeah.
Congrats.

Speaker 18 So you could have a buy. Congrats.

Speaker 3 With Jonathan Taylor. So

Speaker 3 Jerry had Anthony Richardson starting for us today.

Speaker 107 J-O-C.

Speaker 26 J-O-C.

Speaker 3 And it's going to be a big Monday night game for the boys.

Speaker 3 We need Brandon McManus.

Speaker 3 to get 13 points. Okay.
And then we advance to the finals.

Speaker 18 You can do that. Jerry.

Speaker 3 He can do that. Give him a pump-up speech, Jerry.

Speaker 22 Yeah, Anthony Richardson,

Speaker 26 his stat line was very funny today. He was 7 for 11,

Speaker 26 131 yards, a touchdown and an interception, but did have also 70 rushing yards.

Speaker 52 It felt like when he threw the interception, Shane Steichen was like, no, we're done.

Speaker 23 We're done throwing today.

Speaker 91 We're not doing this anymore.

Speaker 3 So one thing I noticed on both of Taylor's long touchdown runs and Richardson's long run, Quentin Nelson, you remember him? Yeah. He's still fucking awesome, and he's still just

Speaker 3 bowling people over, just destroying people out there. Yeah.

Speaker 20 Very fun to hang out with at beer games, beer Olympics.

Speaker 3 Well, he's one of those guys where you stand next to him, and this is a different species than I am.

Speaker 60 Fun fact, I chugged faster than Quentin Nelson at Beer Olympics.

Speaker 102 That's fun.

Speaker 109 I told literally the whole place, probably too many times, because I was drunk.

Speaker 71 That's a off of three beers. That's a man.
Yeah.

Speaker 155 And Quentin Nelson was like, okay, dude, you've said this to me 17 times.

Speaker 39 Why are you so drunk off three beers?

Speaker 3 But sneaky, fun game.

Speaker 18 Yeah.

Speaker 52 Yeah, this was, it was, it was up and down.

Speaker 27 Fun game.

Speaker 149 Um,

Speaker 44 the

Speaker 34 so the only so the Colts are technically still alive.

Speaker 142 What do the Colts have to win out and then they have to have the Broncos lose out?

Speaker 101 And I don't know.

Speaker 18 Can you can you do that for me real quick?

Speaker 3 The Colts still alive? Yeah.

Speaker 60 I also, we are, we should have mentioned this on Friday, but Anthony Richardson is on Tebow watch.

Speaker 76 I don't know if you knew that.

Speaker 26 So he's at 47.7% completion percentage this year.

Speaker 20 Tebow has the worst completion percentage for a starting quarterback in the season at 46.5%.

Speaker 62 So today actually was a good day for Anthony Richardson because he went 7 for 11.

Speaker 3 Okay, the Colts can make the playoffs if they win out and the Chargers lose out. Okay.
So the Chargers would need to lose to the Raiders and the Patriots. Got it.

Speaker 18 Probably not going to happen. Probably not going to happen.

Speaker 42 Probably not going to happen. But it could.

Speaker 30 Also, Mason Rudolph, not the guy.

Speaker 3 Not the guy. You were going for a spark.

Speaker 3 He's not a spark. Mason Rudolph.
We've seen enough Mason Rudolph to know that that's that's not a spark guy.

Speaker 145 No, he's not a spark.

Speaker 37 This game was a spark.

Speaker 124 This game was more fun than we expected it to be

Speaker 97 when we were getting ready for this slate.

Speaker 30 But yeah, Mason Rudolph, not the spark.

Speaker 98 But you know what?

Speaker 3 The Colts are going to remember that they played the Titans. Yeah.

Speaker 12 They're going to be like,

Speaker 3 I know who we just played.

Speaker 93 We remember that shit.

Speaker 90 Titans go to 2-13.

Speaker 42 Also, really tough.

Speaker 133 2-13 against the spread.

Speaker 91 Sorry, are they 2-13 as well? 3-12.

Speaker 90 3-12, but they're 2-13 against the spread.

Speaker 26 It's not great when you say your team's not soft, and then you give up 335 yards rushing.

Speaker 48 But, you know what?

Speaker 8 Because I like Brian Callahan,

Speaker 26 positive side, his team was down 38-7 and they did not give up.

Speaker 43 That's not a soft team.

Speaker 57 That's true.

Speaker 57 That is not a soft team.

Speaker 3 They kept fighting. Yeah.
When they come off the field, they know they just played us. Yeah, exactly.
Listen,

Speaker 3 there's going to be no mistaking. We were only able to do that against the Titans.

Speaker 65 Remember the Titans.

Speaker 12 Okay.

Speaker 23 Do we have anything else from the Colts, Titans?

Speaker 102 I don't think so.

Speaker 98 We're watching Baker Mayfield try to get the Bucs down the field to maybe get Mike Evans a touchdown, which would be

Speaker 92 incredible.

Speaker 92 Incredible.

Speaker 67 Incredible.

Speaker 13 But I don't think it's going to happen. It's going to happen.
I don't think it's going to happen.

Speaker 134 It's going to happen.

Speaker 12 I don't know if it's going to happen.

Speaker 110 Do you want to announce it, Hank, here?

Speaker 86 Because they're going fast enough that you could just say it.

Speaker 75 Yeah, the Bucs have the ball somewhere near the red zone.

Speaker 41 We could do our recap of this game while we do this.

Speaker 75 Baker Mayfield snaps. He drops back.
He's looking at Mike Evans. He fakes.

Speaker 61 He pressured all night.

Speaker 75 Complete to not Mike Evans.

Speaker 76 Yeah,

Speaker 126 I'm impressed that the Cowboys did not give up.

Speaker 3 How about Ezekiel Elliott getting a touchdown, huh? Yeah. Just rolling him out there, being like, hey, Zeke, you've been around.

Speaker 3 Get up for the hometown fans real quick. Let's you take one

Speaker 3 bow before him. It's Christmas time.
It was bad.

Speaker 3 It's been a bad game for the Bucs.

Speaker 118 It's been a bad game for the Bucs, but again, I'm more impressed that

Speaker 122 the Cowboys just have not given up.

Speaker 113 They have no reason to play, and they've kind of been playing good football recently.

Speaker 139 Yeah.

Speaker 3 I do think that McCarthy saved his job a couple weeks ago. I do, too.

Speaker 107 And Jerry can be like, hey, you know what?

Speaker 111 Win before Christmas.

Speaker 162 Feels like the win before Christmas means more.

Speaker 26 It counts as a double win.

Speaker 3 So Jerry always does the opposite of what we think he's going to do. We've pre-fired Mike McCarthy several times on this podcast.
Yeah. And then Jerry's kept him around.
Is this

Speaker 3 what? we're saying McCarthy has done enough to stay around. And then Jerry's like, we got to move on.

Speaker 26 We've said this before, but like Jerry Jones from the 90s is not Jerry Jones of the last 20 years.

Speaker 27 He kept Jason Garrett around for five years too long.

Speaker 3 Maybe we've just got Jerry wrong. Maybe we just can't get inside that head of his.

Speaker 124 Maybe Mike McCarthy's a great coach.

Speaker 43 It could all be true.

Speaker 75 Ready, Hank? Yeah, there was an injury on the field. The Bucs are huddled up.
They're going to call the Mike Evans play. You sure? Score touchdown.
Yeah, this this is it.

Speaker 35 They really need to.

Speaker 75 They really, really need to.

Speaker 37 Stephen Che is watching in the other room being like, the game's not over.

Speaker 21 He's been saying that for the last three hours.

Speaker 75 26-17 Dallas with 2.43 remaining.

Speaker 95 And the Bucs only have two timeouts.

Speaker 104 So they have to score before the two-minute warning to have any chance of possibly winning this game.

Speaker 16 And they just showed the graphic, and the Bucs losing this game is very detrimental to their

Speaker 19 chances of making any playoffs.

Speaker 3 Right now, the Falcons would have. They'd be ahead of them.
They would be ahead of him.

Speaker 52 All right, here we go.

Speaker 37 You'd have to beat the Falcons for Steven Che.

Speaker 3 Mike Evans, bottom of the screen.

Speaker 75 Baker Manfield snaps the ball.

Speaker 75 He looks at Baker.

Speaker 43 He's throwing it to him.

Speaker 123 That's not Mike Evans.

Speaker 75 Touchdown, Bucks, whoever the fuck that's not.

Speaker 18 Scottie Miller. Scotty Miller.

Speaker 85 That would be Scotty Miller.

Speaker 65 Right now, on-site game, Ryan Miller.

Speaker 71 Ryan Miller.

Speaker 3 Scotty Miller. Really Miller.

Speaker 91 He's on the Steelers. Yeah.

Speaker 3 We knew that.

Speaker 3 That's not fair to us to have to put it.

Speaker 3 Hardworking, scrappy.

Speaker 42 That's also where Mike Evans usually is, right?

Speaker 3 Catching touchdowns.

Speaker 123 Yes. Fuck.
Damn, Hank. All right.

Speaker 92 All right. We'll go to the next one.

Speaker 3 Now declared on-side kick coming up for the Bucs.

Speaker 83 Or do they kick it deep?

Speaker 158 I think we... Oh, no.

Speaker 83 They could kick it deep.

Speaker 17 Yeah, two timeouts. Two-timeouts and the two-minute warning.

Speaker 84 They could kick it down.

Speaker 3 What would the pussy thing to do be?

Speaker 3 Would the wrong decision be?

Speaker 98 I don't know. And also, Hank,

Speaker 95 they're not going to go for a touchdown.

Speaker 8 So that's out. Yeah.

Speaker 3 I think the wrong thing to do is beat an on-side kick it.

Speaker 141 No, yeah, I think you've got to kick it deep because you can win with a fieldboard.

Speaker 3 That means that Todd Bowles is going to on-side kick it.

Speaker 62 Yeah, probably.

Speaker 96 That's definitely what's going to happen.

Speaker 147 Okay.

Speaker 133 Rams 19, Jets 9.

Speaker 27 This game was weird.

Speaker 52 The Jets opened the game with a 99-yard touchdown drive.

Speaker 142 They did not punt.

Speaker 84 a single time this game, and they scored nine points.

Speaker 3 They're the first team in 25 years to not punt and score fewer than 10 points.

Speaker 139 Yeah.

Speaker 3 How did that happen, memes?

Speaker 3 This game was incredible.

Speaker 73 Yeah, memes said that they're the most electric watch.

Speaker 65 Yeah, well, I know.

Speaker 164 They scored the most entertaining team in football. I know.

Speaker 12 That's just not true.

Speaker 139 Put out a post

Speaker 3 saying that they turned into the greatest show on turf today.

Speaker 164 No, no, no. When the Jets get eliminated from the playoffs, they turn into

Speaker 164 I press in on that tweet.

Speaker 71 Ah, it was a great drive.

Speaker 3 It was a great drive. So, yeah, so what happened today, memes?

Speaker 3 The weather happened.

Speaker 164 A lot of wind,

Speaker 102 a lot of drops.

Speaker 164 That's pretty much it.

Speaker 3 Okay. Fireman Ed? Fireman Ed continues to be banned from the Jumbotron?

Speaker 164 Yeah, Fireman Ed made the game about himself as soon as we lost.

Speaker 3 What'd he say? He put up a post saying, once again, I've been frozen out from the Jumbotron.

Speaker 164 Yeah, they keep squeezing him out from the Jumbotron.

Speaker 82 Yeah.

Speaker 3 Very sad.

Speaker 66 We need to get in touch with Fireman Ed, not to talk to him or have him on the show, but just to then get him in touch with Marlinsman.

Speaker 150 Okay, here we go.

Speaker 8 Because I feel like they need to talk to each other.

Speaker 26 Because if Fireman Ed was like, hey, I got squeezed out, Marlinsman would be like, dude, same with me.

Speaker 3 Jets Nation, I'm at the game, but this is the second home game in a row. I'm not included on the Jumbotron to do the chant with the Scott and Jetman.

Speaker 150 Oh, man.

Speaker 3 They froze him out.

Speaker 85 That's crazy.

Speaker 3 What he needs, he needs to pull a Tebow and like rescue somebody in the stands, having a medical emergency. Yeah.

Speaker 3 And then Jetman is sitting over there with his thumb up his ass, and Fireman Ed steps into action and saves a life.

Speaker 20 That would be nice.

Speaker 164 Yeah, I'm going to need a statistic on how many games we've won with Fireman Ed on the Jumbotron and not.

Speaker 17 Probably bad both ways. Yeah.

Speaker 81 Yeah.

Speaker 103 If I had to guess.

Speaker 26 The Rams are a very big issue for my pinky because they're going to win the NFC West now.

Speaker 97 They control their own destiny.

Speaker 27 And they have gone from a 1-4 team to a, what are they,

Speaker 110 9-6?

Speaker 52 So they're 8-2 in their last 10.

Speaker 4 They're one of the hottest teams in the NFL.

Speaker 3 What's kind of crazy is, although you don't think of Sean McVay as being a cold weather coach, they're kind of built for it a little bit now. They're just running the football.

Speaker 3 Like Kyron Williams, he's so consistent. Yeah.
He's just always out there getting just enough to win.

Speaker 8 And their defense played well.

Speaker 4 And it was cool to see Tyler Higbee back from his ACL injury.

Speaker 37 This is his first game back, scores a game-winning touchdown.

Speaker 52 Nice jump into the end zone.

Speaker 98 Yeah, I mean, this is a bummer to watch, Memes.

Speaker 93 I don't know how they could be exciting in any way.

Speaker 3 I'll give credit to memes. When they missed that field goal, memes correctly was like, yes, that's good.

Speaker 164 Yes, I also knew they were going to miss. It was a 49-yard field goal into the wind.

Speaker 123 Yeah.

Speaker 106 And you want them to lose.

Speaker 164 Yes. It was a perfect game up until Olu Fashioner got hurt.

Speaker 65 He hurt his foot. And then it was.
How bad? He broke the fuck.

Speaker 164 No, we don't know. But a lot of people thought it was his Achilles.

Speaker 64 Oh, no.

Speaker 151 But it's his foot.

Speaker 140 And so right now you have the eighth pick.

Speaker 80 This really is the worst year to be bad.

Speaker 140 You're 4-11, and you have the eighth pick.

Speaker 164 But I think this is actually good for the Jets, though.

Speaker 12 Okay.

Speaker 148 Go ahead.

Speaker 12 Jameis, Bridge quarterback.

Speaker 164 Bridge quarterback, but there's so many bad quarterbacks, you let the other teams take that, so it limits your options.

Speaker 3 Then you get the good quarterback.

Speaker 164 No,

Speaker 164 none of these quarterbacks.

Speaker 134 You're not taking a quarterback this year.

Speaker 120 Not in the first round.

Speaker 61 Okay.

Speaker 3 Because

Speaker 164 Shador, Cam Ward, once they go, it's going to. Yeah, yeah.
Then you need that third team to take the reach quarterback.

Speaker 68 Yep.

Speaker 164 So that limits you to take the best player available. Hopefully a D-line that drops.

Speaker 62 Mike Kell Williams would rock.

Speaker 164 Or Mason Graham.

Speaker 143 A lot of people say we have Mason Graham. I want him.

Speaker 116 I want him.

Speaker 67 The Bears have lost nine in a row and have the ninth pick.

Speaker 47 Yeah.

Speaker 2 It's insane. It's crazy.

Speaker 134 The Bears worst team in football. We accidentally tanked, but we have the ninth pick.

Speaker 134 I think someone tweeted it, but a four-win team last year at this time would have the third pick.

Speaker 34 How many wins did you guys have last year?

Speaker 3 I think we had four. Yeah.

Speaker 60 You had the second pick.

Speaker 3 So I'm looking at... What's the

Speaker 3 teams that are now with four wins and three wins? Do any of them play each other?

Speaker 116 I'm not sure.

Speaker 3 Does Jacksonville play Tennessee again? Yes, they do.

Speaker 91 Yes, they are.

Speaker 12 That's going to be a big game. Oh, my God.

Speaker 37 Oh, Oh, you could hear Steven Shea go screaming.

Speaker 130 Oh, I don't think that was actually.

Speaker 75 Potential fumble. Either way, third down stop by the Bucs.
They're going to get the ball back. A minute and 50 left.

Speaker 3 No timeout.

Speaker 158 Yes,

Speaker 67 there's no way that was a fumble.

Speaker 43 No, there's no way.

Speaker 127 He somehow watches so much football and still doesn't really know how football works.

Speaker 57 It's actually, he knows how football works.

Speaker 131 He just always takes the most optimistic view of things, even though the facts are right in front of his face.

Speaker 85 I can hear what he's saying.

Speaker 154 I'm pretty sure I just heard him scream, fuck, because he realized that it wasn't a fumble.

Speaker 100 It was never a fumble.

Speaker 42 He was always, he was always down.

Speaker 83 He couldn't have been more down.

Speaker 97 Also, always crazy that Vita Vey does not wear gloves.

Speaker 3 It was funny watching him.

Speaker 125 That was, he was

Speaker 48 Jake Ferguson was laying on the ground.

Speaker 80 Like, that's what Steven Che does, though.

Speaker 151 Where he'd be like, ball.

Speaker 1 He's like, dude, are you watching this?

Speaker 3 It was very funny watching him tackle Turpin in the first half. Yeah.
It's like the the smallest player on the field and by far the biggest player on the field. Yeah.

Speaker 60 So the Bucs have a chance here.

Speaker 2 All right, so Rams are dangerous.

Speaker 12 They're going to... What? I don't think so.
Why?

Speaker 123 Not in the cold.

Speaker 164 You need them to play Philly in Philly.

Speaker 123 Okay.

Speaker 3 They just beat me.

Speaker 151 And then Matt Stafford had 100 yards.

Speaker 139 Yeah.

Speaker 65 Kyron Williams.

Speaker 164 Because he didn't punt and we would just go in. We would go for it inside our own third.

Speaker 1 I did like that Jeff Ulbrick was just like, fuck it.

Speaker 13 This season is over.

Speaker 24 He was basically coaching it like a bowl game.

Speaker 12 Yeah, it was incredible.

Speaker 134 He was just like, I'm going for it all the time.

Speaker 30 I don't care.

Speaker 48 Field goal at the end.

Speaker 12 Yeah.

Speaker 3 Yeah, the not punting thing is a little bit of a fake stat because I think a lot of teams would have punted a few times.

Speaker 78 Yeah.

Speaker 72 No, there was only because they did go.

Speaker 140 They went for it

Speaker 121 in the red zone.

Speaker 25 Yep.

Speaker 151 I think they only went for it on their own side of the

Speaker 164 field goal at the end

Speaker 123 of turnover on downs. Yeah.

Speaker 114 It It was kind of

Speaker 6 fun to watch.

Speaker 67 She was three turnover on downs.

Speaker 60 Three turnover on downs.

Speaker 27 But how many were on their own side? How many were that, like, would have been punting?

Speaker 68 Definitely two.

Speaker 93 That was. Oh, my God.

Speaker 99 He's screaming.

Speaker 12 Mike Evans

Speaker 12 want to play.

Speaker 67 Mike Evans bomb. Something big is about to happen.

Speaker 17 Oh, man.

Speaker 95 We're about to watch it.

Speaker 124 Maybe it's a Mike Evans touchdown.

Speaker 98 That would be incredible.

Speaker 12 Oh, oh.

Speaker 78 Baker.

Speaker 98 That was a crazy play by Baker.

Speaker 3 Oh, a little shovel pass.

Speaker 98 Rashad White.

Speaker 95 That was a pretty nice play.

Speaker 71 Oh, they fumbled.

Speaker 123 Oh,

Speaker 48 they fumbled.

Speaker 118 That's very funny.

Speaker 8 Was he screaming about that?

Speaker 67 No, he said, I heard what a play.

Speaker 67 And then he probably got quiet once the

Speaker 12 fumble happened.

Speaker 64 This is chaotic.

Speaker 12 Yeah. Wait.

Speaker 5 First down. Cowboys ball.

Speaker 23 Game over.

Speaker 96 How is he not down?

Speaker 105 They did all that to get that a fumble.

Speaker 78 Oh, he was holding the ball like a loaf of bread.

Speaker 102 Yeah, I think he was. I think that was a fumble.

Speaker 39 Let's see. Here comes the replay.

Speaker 98 This is great podcasting, by the way.

Speaker 17 That is a fumble.

Speaker 75 It balls out.

Speaker 3 Game over.

Speaker 72 Tell Stephen Shea to get in here.

Speaker 146 Okay, I want to hear a recap real quick.

Speaker 60 Just a two seconds. I want to.
Because I bet on the Bucs, I want to yell at them.

Speaker 24 Ball security is very important in this league.

Speaker 108 And the Bucs just didn't do that.

Speaker 22 Memes.

Speaker 51 That was so Jets are most electric team?

Speaker 90 Most entertaining.

Speaker 26 Most entertaining team.

Speaker 30 Most entertaining team.

Speaker 164 Yeah, it's like a choose your own adventure when you watch them. You never know what you're going to get.

Speaker 122 Well, I think you do, kind of.

Speaker 3 Yeah. So when you're going to lose, you're going to go to Buffalo.
Maybe play Spoiler?

Speaker 164 No.

Speaker 139 Okay.

Speaker 113 No.

Speaker 92 But Electric.

Speaker 3 Electric, yes.

Speaker 164 Shootout?

Speaker 164 Probably not.

Speaker 65 Yeah, probably not.

Speaker 164 Patriots played him too close. Now we're going to get fucking

Speaker 109 killed.

Speaker 3 How can you be electric if no shootout?

Speaker 164 Electric in the sense that you don't know what's going to happen.

Speaker 116 Okay. You don't know what's going to happen.

Speaker 166 What the fuck?

Speaker 43 I mean, you got to hold on to the ball, Stephen.

Speaker 151 No shit.

Speaker 33 How do we have a timeout right now? Did NBC not fucking update the scoreboard?

Speaker 15 Steven, what?

Speaker 48 You...

Speaker 132 You couldn't have thought that that was a fumble by Jake Ferguson.

Speaker 139 What?

Speaker 148 The play before.

Speaker 65 The Cowboys.

Speaker 140 When Vita Vey hit him.

Speaker 127 You thought that was a fumble?

Speaker 12 No, no, no. You got to talk on the mic.

Speaker 121 All right, you got to talk on the mic.

Speaker 12 Are we recording something?

Speaker 43 Yeah, we're in the middle of the show. Oh, okay.

Speaker 165 I mean, this is fucking in victory formation. What the fuck?

Speaker 165 Oh, this was brutal. Did you see Vita the hit stick on third down?

Speaker 113 Yeah, did you think that was a fumble?

Speaker 147 No, but it was a fucking sick play.

Speaker 3 Yeah, where would you say tonight went wrong, Che?

Speaker 165 I mean, Million Turnovers. The Jalen McMillan, that was a touchdown.

Speaker 165 He's down at the one?

Speaker 65 The interception? The interception, yeah.

Speaker 131 Yeah, no, he intercepted him.

Speaker 165 I thought that at least deserved a review. I guess they did review it, but

Speaker 48 they definitely reviewed it.

Speaker 65 They needed a second review.

Speaker 3 Yeah.

Speaker 18 I mean, where it went wrong,

Speaker 73 that was your biggest thing that you take away.

Speaker 165 And I tweeted this out when it happened.

Speaker 165 Bucks drive it down into the first half.

Speaker 165 54 seconds left. They get a first down.
They have one timeout left. They're on the 11-yard line.
It's first and 10 from the 11. They called a timeout with 54 seconds left.
That's crazy.

Speaker 165 It was their last timeout.

Speaker 165 Yeah. So you have nothing left.
They score the next play. Yeah.

Speaker 67 So they give the ball back 48 seconds left.

Speaker 165 The Cowboys go down and kick a field goal. So we don't get just a seven-point touchdown.
We then go in.

Speaker 165 That

Speaker 165 score difference goes from seven to four, and we lose by two points. So,

Speaker 165 yeah, I think things went wrong there.

Speaker 3 So you need to beat the Panthers next week.

Speaker 165 I need you guys to handle business. But now things get really weird because

Speaker 165 if the Falcons win

Speaker 165 and we win,

Speaker 165 then you and I are now duking it out for the seventh spot, no?

Speaker 64 No, I don't think so.

Speaker 12 Because we have a tiebreaker against Saints.

Speaker 118 Oh, yeah, I guess it's the Falcons.

Speaker 3 If the Falcons win and you win next week, we're still in the seventh spot.

Speaker 165 We would be in the seventh spot, but then it's going to come down to the last week.

Speaker 3 Then it would come down to the last week.

Speaker 65 Oh, wow.

Speaker 12 Oh, wow.

Speaker 3 You've got the Saints.

Speaker 67 Yeah.

Speaker 18 Probably a win.

Speaker 67 Yeah.

Speaker 3 And then we've got the cowboys and the cowboys are playing well and hate you guys if they beat us

Speaker 3 then

Speaker 12 that's cool

Speaker 165 what um yeah does this ruin christmas knocks us out yeah i mean this is horrible i also had a giant future ticket on the bucks parlay to two other division winners that i could have cashed on and i didn't so this is bad but i mean it's not it's certainly not over i knew this would be a tough game but this was bad brandon aubrey is a fucking weapon every time they got every single time we're near midfield he's kicking it right down the middle and he does it like so effortlessly.

Speaker 165 Yeah, like no doubt field goals. As soon as it touches his toe, it's like right down the middle.

Speaker 44 All they have to do is get to 75. Yeah, all they have to do is get to the 40-yard line.

Speaker 93 It's three points.

Speaker 165 This is really deflating, though, because when the Bucs stopped him right there on third down, it's like, we're about to fucking win the game.

Speaker 18 Yeah.

Speaker 20 And maybe Mike Evans will get 10 more yards.

Speaker 165 If he got 11, Luke Bluttman was one yard away from a 10-leg parlay.

Speaker 12 Whatever.

Speaker 145 The whole night sucked. It was bad.

Speaker 73 It's great.

Speaker 13 You should feel bad. You ruined this.

Speaker 158 No, this is horrible.

Speaker 3 It was a neat little shovel pass by Baker, though, at the end, right?

Speaker 165 So

Speaker 91 that play, I was thinking it in real life.

Speaker 165 The Bucks tweeted out from their official account 25 years ago this week.

Speaker 13 It was

Speaker 165 Bucks fan, Super Bucks fans probably don't remember this.

Speaker 165 There's a play on Monday Night Football, Sean King to Warwick Dunn, where he's getting dragged around by his jersey, shovels it to Warwick Dunn.

Speaker 165 He gets like 20 yards in a first end, or no, Warwick Dunn shovels it to Sean King. He goes out of bounds, gets clocked 15 yards.
They go on to win that game because of that play.

Speaker 165 It was 25 years ago this week. That was a very similar play.
And then I'm just freaking out because he's about to get sacked, gets a great jump pass forward.

Speaker 165 And then all of a sudden, I'm seeing a guy and the Cowboys run to the ends. I'm like, what the fuck just happened?

Speaker 165 Unfortunately, very clear that it was a fumble.

Speaker 113 Yeah, Rashawn White should probably have gone high and tight there.

Speaker 165 Tough situation, but yes, I mean, he was holding it loose and then he did bring it in, but he got stripped. I mean,

Speaker 165 the Cowboys, if they're going to play lights-out special teams and just get three every time they cross midfield, And they're uh, they got four takeaways, I think, tonight.

Speaker 165 Like, that's a tough situation for us to win in.

Speaker 123 Yeah.

Speaker 60 Okay. Thank you, Steven.
Thanks, Jay.

Speaker 72 Good recap.

Speaker 18 Damn, that sucks. It's brutal.

Speaker 18 It's over.

Speaker 3 Hey, Che, I'll beat the Falcons for you. Yeah, if you could do that, that'd be great.
You got it. That would actually be better than us winning tonight, so.

Speaker 12 Oh, that'd be better than you winning tonight.

Speaker 3 I always want to win. I'd rather win.
That's just me.

Speaker 120 Retroactively. Yeah, no,

Speaker 120 that's stupid.

Speaker 100 Okay.

Speaker 40 Next up, Panthers.

Speaker 107 Hank, that sucked.

Speaker 61 We're stupid.

Speaker 2 Panthers 36. Cardinals 30.

Speaker 14 I don't really have anything for this game other than, well, the Cardinals are officially eliminated.

Speaker 2 The Panthers, it's crazy to say because

Speaker 97 the Cardinals were 6-4 going into the bye week, and they're 1-4 after that.

Speaker 36 They were top of the NFC West.

Speaker 11 They played the Panthers today,

Speaker 120 and

Speaker 118 this might just be way too knee-jerk, but I think I'm buying more Panthers stock than Cardinals stock going forward.

Speaker 3 So, do you think Jonathan Gannon's safe?

Speaker 12 I don't know. He might not be.

Speaker 1 Is Kyler Murray the franchise quarterback?

Speaker 3 So, they had, I think they had seven penalties in the first quarter. The Cardinals have stunk reason.

Speaker 83 I mean, James Conner getting hurt

Speaker 12 did fuck things up because he was going off and he had 111 yards in the first half.

Speaker 147 But I don't.

Speaker 131 Kyler Murray, like, I know he has incredible plays, but

Speaker 90 I don't know if I feel so confident about him just going forward.

Speaker 3 So he's now 8-14 in December.

Speaker 3 So it's, and that was like a Cliff Kingsbury stat, too. He still might be.
I don't know.

Speaker 3 But yeah, Murray has not looked good at all the last couple weeks. And yeah, Bryce Young.
You know what I'm amazed by? His touch passes now. Yeah.
Because he had absolutely no feel for the football

Speaker 3 until like a month ago.

Speaker 86 We're pulling up the trade right now. I'd still rather have all those picks on that side.

Speaker 20 And I think that Caleb Williams is better than Bryce Young.

Speaker 67 It was a topic of conversation today, so

Speaker 124 who was having the conversation?

Speaker 67 Parcel Sports Twitter.

Speaker 3 Oh, okay.

Speaker 3 Would you rather have Bryce Young or DJ Moore?

Speaker 3 Caleb Williams. Tyreek Stevenson.

Speaker 96 Tyreek Stevenson did kind of.

Speaker 13 That is a sliding doors moment.

Speaker 39 Yeah, I'd still rather have.

Speaker 3 You'd rather take Caleb Stevens.

Speaker 144 Yeah, because we're probably going to get a future Hall of Famer with the second-round pick this year.

Speaker 139 There you go. Yeah.

Speaker 30 Did you want to have this be a topic of conversation right now?

Speaker 67 You like to have topics of conversation.

Speaker 57 We can, but just you passively pulling it up, like, say something with your chest, buddy.

Speaker 67 It's on my show.

Speaker 57 Say something with your chest. Don't just show.

Speaker 78 Don't just put stuff up on

Speaker 73 the computer. Don't you want to care about it or not?

Speaker 94 No, say it with your chest.

Speaker 151 Let's go. I'm just saying.

Speaker 43 Say it then.

Speaker 67 I wanted you to say it. No, no, no.

Speaker 47 You don't want to get to

Speaker 67 care about what I have to say about it. You say what you have to say about it.

Speaker 24 You say I would still rather have the Bears side of this trade.

Speaker 67 There you go.

Speaker 44 What would you rather have?

Speaker 160 Because you pulled it up.

Speaker 134 For people who don't understand or listen to the podcast, there's a computer monitor right in front of me and PFT, and Max will sometimes scroll

Speaker 111 like Sidney Sweeney tits just out of nowhere.

Speaker 22 As we started the Panthers recap, he just went and scrolled and pulled up the Panthers Bears trade, but then didn't say anything.

Speaker 2 As passive-aggressive as it gets.

Speaker 120 What do you think about this, Max?

Speaker 67 I think that

Speaker 67 I would probably still rather be on the Bears side, but

Speaker 67 it's a discussion that was

Speaker 12 the biggest haul.

Speaker 68 It's a discussion. Yeah.

Speaker 3 Because you're making it the discussion right now.

Speaker 67 I didn't make this a discussion. Barcelon Sports main account tweeted, what a great trade for the Panthers with the trade, and it got to 3,000 likes on Twitter.

Speaker 43 Well, oh, no shit.

Speaker 1 LOL Bears gets instant memes.

Speaker 115 Back me up here.

Speaker 3 Discussion. Numbers.

Speaker 6 Any dunk on the Bears.

Speaker 18 The Tyree Stevenson thing is wild.

Speaker 167 Yeah,

Speaker 167 that part hurts.

Speaker 140 That is a sliding door moment.

Speaker 133 I still am going to take Caleb Williams over Bryce Young going forward.

Speaker 131 I am impressed with Bryce Young and what he's done.

Speaker 64 And I do think the Panthers have a quarterback going forward.

Speaker 3 Which is crazy. I'm kind of impressed with Canalis.

Speaker 34 Yeah, big time.

Speaker 57 I mean, Bryce Young looks good. He was dropping dimes.

Speaker 3 I'm impressed with David Tepper.

Speaker 118 But memes, back me up.

Speaker 135 If you post anything that's LOL Bears, it's instant.

Speaker 109 It's like instant, just...

Speaker 18 Spawns. Yeah.

Speaker 67 All right, good topic of conversation. Good producing Max.

Speaker 6 Well, next time when you produce, actually say it and you can.

Speaker 67 I can't interrupt your conversation.

Speaker 151 Yes, you can.

Speaker 12 You can't do that.

Speaker 12 Okay. Never.

Speaker 3 Is this the

Speaker 3 Panthers have

Speaker 3 wait, so it's since Bryce came back. They're almost 500 since Bryce came back.

Speaker 133 They are

Speaker 8 three and four since the bye week, and three of their four losses were by one possession to division leaders.

Speaker 18 Although, I guess the Bucs aren't division leaders anymore.

Speaker 22 But yeah, they're playing good ball, and they're building something, and it feels like their future, which was nothing

Speaker 12 a month and a half ago, is actually something now.

Speaker 60 I think Bryce Young is the starter next year.

Speaker 90 Dave Canalis has proven that he's a good coach because he took a horrific situation and has made them a competitive football team.

Speaker 91 And yeah, I think the Panthers, like, they're also playing in a division that

Speaker 115 no one's incredible right now.

Speaker 3 I think they're going to win one of these next two. I think they're going to beat either the Falcon Canal.

Speaker 12 Yeah, I think so.

Speaker 132 I think they're going to be spoilers.

Speaker 112 Yeah, absolutely.

Speaker 89 Yeah, I'm impressed with the Panthers.

Speaker 94 Yeah.

Speaker 127 I think Bryce Young is good.

Speaker 3 They're the one.

Speaker 57 I'd still take Caleb Williams.

Speaker 3 Would you rather play the Panthers or the Cowboys?

Speaker 15 I can say both things. What?

Speaker 3 Would you rather play the Panthers or the Cowboys?

Speaker 122 The Cowboys. Or no, the Panthers.

Speaker 3 Because the Cowboys beat the Panthers.

Speaker 24 Just beat the shit out of of the Panthers.

Speaker 26 But that was also the Panthers being favorites, which wasn't fair to the Panthers.

Speaker 71 That's not the Panthers.

Speaker 8 They shouldn't have done that.

Speaker 54 That was actually very mean to the Panthers.

Speaker 3 But yeah, I think they're prime for spoiler season right now. Yeah.

Speaker 98 And then the Cardinals are dead, and I don't really know what their future is.

Speaker 3 I don't know. See, I don't know if

Speaker 3 it sticks around.

Speaker 57 Future stock.

Speaker 134 Yeah. Right now,

Speaker 122 I would buy the Panthers stock over the Cardinals stock.

Speaker 26 That's crazy to say.

Speaker 27 Maybe.

Speaker 44 Maybe it's too in the moment.

Speaker 125 Would you buy it?

Speaker 115 You buy the Panthers?

Speaker 164 Panthers are with the Cardinals, 100%.

Speaker 123 Yeah, going forward, which is nuts.

Speaker 127 Because if you said that to me, if you said that to someone six weeks ago, you'd be like, what are you talking about?

Speaker 85 Are you crazy?

Speaker 3 I don't know. It's close.
It's close for me.

Speaker 60 I just don't.

Speaker 61 I kind of...

Speaker 90 I mean, it's the two short kings.

Speaker 30 And we've seen a lot of Kyler Murray, but Kyler's thicker.

Speaker 17 There's some great flashes.

Speaker 3 Maybe it's ⁇ I take Kyler September, October, November, Bryce and December.

Speaker 64 And I know that this Cardinals roster isn't stacked, and it's not all on Kyler.

Speaker 106 But if you're paying him that much money and you're 6-4, he feels like ⁇ and especially the fact that he's been in the league for, I think, what is this, his fifth year, sixth year?

Speaker 107 Like, this felt like a stretch that Kyler could have...

Speaker 5 ascended a little bit and carried the Cardinals to a playoff spot, and they've just fallen on their face.

Speaker 3 Is Marvin Harrison Jr. awesome?

Speaker 3 I don't know. I don't know if he is or not.

Speaker 60 Yeah, I'm not sure. He hasn't really.

Speaker 3 You'd like to see a little bit more out of Marvin Harrison.

Speaker 86 You'd probably like to see a little bit more out of Marvin Harrison Jr.

Speaker 3 But yeah, if Connor doesn't get hurt, I mean, this game went to overtime. Yeah.
So it's not like the Panthers are leaps and bounds ahead of the Cardinals. No, agreed.
So it was a close game.

Speaker 3 You were down your starting running back, one of your best players.

Speaker 57 But the Panthers also did come out to a pretty big lead.

Speaker 92 But yeah.

Speaker 3 It just seems like things have not, they haven't gone well recently for the Cardinals.

Speaker 18 Yeah.

Speaker 26 Where they were 6-4 going to the bye week, and I was like, they're impressing me.

Speaker 37 Turns out they had just beaten the Bears and the Jets and I think the Patriots.

Speaker 3 How much time? That should have been the sign. How much time do you think is going to be spent on Arizona Sports Talk Radio talking about Gannon and whether or not he should stick around?

Speaker 151 I think it's going to be about Kyler.

Speaker 3 You think so? Yeah.

Speaker 4 I mean, Gannon's only on year two.

Speaker 139 Yeah.

Speaker 95 So I think he's probably going to have.

Speaker 104 And I mean,

Speaker 150 they are better than they were year one.

Speaker 124 What did they finish last year?

Speaker 71 What was that? They were very.

Speaker 18 I mean, they were picking, what, fourth?

Speaker 102 So they were pretty bad last year.

Speaker 29 So they're definitely, they've gone in the right direction if you want to just go wins and losses.

Speaker 18 Overall.

Speaker 82 Yeah.

Speaker 3 Overall in the season, but recently it feels like it's been a lot worse.

Speaker 34 Yeah. I don't, I think he probably is okay.

Speaker 26 I'm just saying more as Kyler is like,

Speaker 130 this is the guy for the future, maybe.

Speaker 134 I have have no idea.

Speaker 150 I can't.

Speaker 122 I feel like we're six years into Kyler and I still don't know.

Speaker 37 Yeah. There's some times where I'm like, oh my God, there's no one like him.

Speaker 8 And there's sometimes like, what's that?

Speaker 36 That interception he threw

Speaker 8 in the, they got the, with like three and a half minutes left, they got the ball back, but that was so bad.

Speaker 3 I also think he throws some of the saddest interceptions. Yeah.
He gets very down on himself right after he throws them.

Speaker 12 Yeah.

Speaker 123 Yeah.

Speaker 123 Okay.

Speaker 64 Last early game.

Speaker 127 Falcons 34, Giants, seven.

Speaker 84 Michael Penix, instant offense.

Speaker 127 First time Atlanta put up 30 points since October.

Speaker 3 Huge offensive explosion. Yeah.
Going by points. Yeah.

Speaker 103 Two pick sixes is how that happened.

Speaker 122 This is

Speaker 92 it's more about, I mean, Michael Pennix is actually not bad.

Speaker 117 I feel like the Falcons' offense worked better.

Speaker 92 They were better.

Speaker 116 It felt like they were better on third down.

Speaker 92 It felt like they were pushing the ball further.

Speaker 27 He was more mobile.

Speaker 23 I know he threw a pick, but it was not his fault. It was Kyle Pitts, like basically bobbling the ball into everyone else.

Speaker 13 And it felt like Bijan had more lanes because Michael Penix, the threat of Michael Pennix was a lot more than Kirk has been in the last few weeks.

Speaker 3 Yeah, they couldn't just count on him to box himself in the pocket. Right.
So did you see the clip of Mr. Mara

Speaker 3 reacting to the very mean graphic that they showed about the Giants? Yes. I didn't realize, because the Giants are a historic franchise.
They've been around for forever.

Speaker 3 And this season, even amongst recent bad Giants seasons, has stood out as being,

Speaker 3 it can't get any worse than this.

Speaker 60 Correct. This is the first time they ever had 10 losses in a row.

Speaker 3 First time ever 10 losses in a row. Everything looks just bad about the future of the franchise.

Speaker 3 And then you're looking forward to week 18 where Philly comes in and Saquon potentially sets the NFL rushing record in your home stadium as like the ultimate nightmare.

Speaker 3 But the good news for the Giants is you are now drafting first overall. Yes.
And Shador Sanders is on the clock potentially.

Speaker 91 He's ready to go.

Speaker 3 Or Cam Ward or somebody else who's really good. But yeah, that clip where Mr.

Speaker 3 Mara saw him, I think he saw himself on whatever screen he was looking at up in the suite, and he got pissed off at Fox broadcasters.

Speaker 3 My prediction is that the league's network partners are going to be told, under no circumstances, show Mr. Mara during a broadcast anymore.
Yes. They'll get a letter from that.

Speaker 93 There was also a report this week that Brian Dable might be fired, but Joe Shane might keep his job, which makes no sense.

Speaker 3 To me, that's the opposite of what they should do.

Speaker 148 Yeah, I agree.

Speaker 84 They're on the same timeline, but that makes no sense.

Speaker 64 I don't know who leaked that.

Speaker 30 Joe Shane, how do you say his last name?

Speaker 3 Sean?

Speaker 3 Shane.

Speaker 120 Sean? Shane?

Speaker 3 Anybody watch Hard Knocks?

Speaker 42 No, I mean, I've seen that clip a million times.

Speaker 153 He is, so the Giants have been outscored 140 to 59 since he famously said they're not far off, which was five weeks ago.

Speaker 3 ago.

Speaker 52 They're the worst team in the NFL.

Speaker 18 Would we all agree?

Speaker 122 I don't think that's up for debate anymore.

Speaker 18 I would agree with that.

Speaker 24 They are the worst team in the NFL.

Speaker 102 And it's pretty clear that they're the worst team because

Speaker 15 I actually think they probably would have won it. They actually probably did it correctly by getting rid of Daniel Jones because

Speaker 26 they might have won a couple of these games with Daniel Jones, and now they are going to get the one pick and they're going to get to pick their new quarterback.

Speaker 3 So the graphic they showed the worst outright record of the NFL. It's been since 1966 that the Giants had that.
Winless at home since 1974. Winless versus division, never.

Speaker 3 That still remains to be seen, though.

Speaker 3 And then the last time they had the number one overall draft pick was 1965. Wow.
It's been a long time. I think that it was the right move to get Daniel Jones out of there.

Speaker 3 He definitely would have won one of these.

Speaker 3 But

Speaker 3 it's also hard to watch the Giants now if you're a Giants fan. Oh, yeah.
It's very hard. They're brutal.
Like, you definitely want to lose at this point. You want the number one overall pick.
Yeah.

Speaker 3 That's worth a lot. But at what cost? You have to watch alternating Tommy Cutlitz and it's only two more weeks.

Speaker 71 True Locke. Yeah.

Speaker 18 It's two more weeks.

Speaker 144 I'm in a similar boat where it's two more weeks.

Speaker 29 Just get it over with.

Speaker 67 Two more weeks. One of those could be a meaningless Eagles game, too, which would be so funny if they won.

Speaker 3 If they won that one.

Speaker 71 Oh, wow.

Speaker 3 That would actually be the mean. That would be the meanest thing, man.

Speaker 62 Wow.

Speaker 67 If the Eagles beat the Cowboys next week, they lock in the two-seed.

Speaker 12 But

Speaker 116 play the Giants.

Speaker 72 I think

Speaker 121 their strength of schedule...

Speaker 38 Oh, yeah, their strength of schedules.

Speaker 31 So

Speaker 31 they would screw themselves

Speaker 93 if they won a game.

Speaker 60 They have to lose out.

Speaker 3 Have to lose out.

Speaker 26 If they win a game, they could potentially go all the way down to six.

Speaker 3 So what could happen is they win a meaningless game against the Eagles, and then Hank gets the number one overall pick.

Speaker 137 That's interesting.

Speaker 67 Travis Hunter. And also that strength of of schedule would be the

Speaker 67 Eagles are going to raise that.

Speaker 12 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 135 So they got to lose out.

Speaker 145 So it's actually a good thing that they suck so bad.

Speaker 118 And incredible day for the Falcons. They went, they're back controlling their own destiny.

Speaker 131 Michael Pennix looked decent in his first start.

Speaker 41 You got him a first start against the Giants.

Speaker 8 So it's not like he has to go on the road.

Speaker 87 For his first NFL start.

Speaker 60 Now he gets to, you know, you get to prove it's Sunday night football.

Speaker 150 Pretty big stage for him, but Falcons defense is playing a little bit better.

Speaker 38 They also, I don't know how the Falcons always do this, but I become obsessed with them just because of where their

Speaker 38 players are drafted.

Speaker 30 They were the first team in 40-plus years to have a top eight pick at QB wide receiver tight end and running back.

Speaker 69 It's wild. And their tight end is, I mean, Kyle Pitts is just not good.

Speaker 3 Kyle Pitts dropping that. Yeah,

Speaker 3 that was a bad, bad drop for him.

Speaker 30 But he might get unlocked by Michael Pennix.

Speaker 3 Is Drake London okay?

Speaker 3 I think he had a hamstring at the end of the game.

Speaker 153 So he might not be.

Speaker 3 Also, I'd like to say that Malik Neighbors putting up these type of numbers, considering who he's had thrown in the ball this year, it's impressive.

Speaker 3 We should not underestimate how good Malik Neighbors is.

Speaker 71 Agreed.

Speaker 141 He's very, very good.

Speaker 3 Even though he's the king of checking himself out for a couple plays, might be hurt coming back in.

Speaker 118 But now he gets Shador Sanders.

Speaker 114 Yeah, I mean, Kyle Pitts, that interception that Michael Pennix technically threw, Kyle Pitts threw the interception.

Speaker 91 He threw it to him.

Speaker 106 Yeah, you're right, though.

Speaker 60 Malik Neighbors and Tyrone Tracy is really good.

Speaker 152 That touchdown he had, the body control to get those feet inbounds was insane.

Speaker 60 So, yeah, they got a couple pieces.

Speaker 6 Desher Lawrence will be back.

Speaker 44 Maybe you get, yeah, you just need a quarterback.

Speaker 133 Shore Sanders right there.

Speaker 106 All right, PFT, you want to do a couple more ads before we get to the afternoon games.

Speaker 18 Okay,

Speaker 114 Dolphins 29, Niners 17.

Speaker 2 You guys ready for the craziest stat ever?

Speaker 3 Hit me.

Speaker 113 So the San Francisco 49ers have been eliminated from the playoffs, and that means that the streak continues.

Speaker 144 22 straight years, the San Francisco 49ers either do not make the playoffs or get to the NFC championship game.

Speaker 3 That's wild.

Speaker 110 That's it.

Speaker 18 Those are the only two outcomes.

Speaker 36 Pretty impressive. That's pretty insane.

Speaker 3 And so the Dolphins.

Speaker 91 If they can get to the playoffs, they're going to the NFC Championship game.

Speaker 60 If they're not going to the NFC Championship game, they're just not going to the playoffs.

Speaker 3 And so the Dolphins are technically still alive.

Speaker 18 Yeah. Right? That is.

Speaker 3 So what do the Dolphins have?

Speaker 142 You like that, meme. Memes liked it.

Speaker 106 He's thinking about it hard.

Speaker 24 He's really thinking it through.

Speaker 164 It's a good one. Almost the same with the Jets.

Speaker 47 Yeah.

Speaker 81 That's why you're. Almost.

Speaker 72 You could say that for the Jets

Speaker 114 the last 16 years,

Speaker 24 that they either go to the AFC championship game or don't go to the playoffs.

Speaker 22 That's actually nice.

Speaker 164 Yeah, AFC championship game or have a losing season, too.

Speaker 12 Okay, there you go.

Speaker 3 That's even crazier.

Speaker 124 Now, the difference being that the Niners have been to like five NFC championship games.

Speaker 128 Yeah, they're better than us. Yeah.

Speaker 126 So better than, yeah, I mean, they're,

Speaker 126 I'm with you.

Speaker 76 They're better.

Speaker 3 So for the Dolphins to get in, they need to beat the Browns. They need to beat the Jets.
And then they need to have some help from the Chargers, the Broncos, and the Colts.

Speaker 155 That was way too much shit you just said.

Speaker 3 They got to win.

Speaker 134 You just said they need five people to help them.

Speaker 3 They got to win, and they need the Chargers and Broncos to lose a lot. And the Colts to lose.

Speaker 3 And maybe one lost by the Jaguars.

Speaker 3 I don't know why they they need the Jaguars. No, no, no.
They need the Colts to lose

Speaker 3 to either the Giants or the Translation. That's too much shit.

Speaker 114 That's one of those.

Speaker 133 When we get to do the playoff iterations, if you need three teams to help you, I'm out.

Speaker 20 Let me know when you get it down to one team to help you.

Speaker 3 Yeah, but Tyreek Hill's back.

Speaker 48 Yeah.

Speaker 3 They found him.

Speaker 44 Why?

Speaker 135 Mike McDaniel doesn't need to wear those glasses.

Speaker 30 Especially when they're not good.

Speaker 3 Yeah, it's a weird look when he's cold.

Speaker 4 Yeah, and it just, I don't know.

Speaker 43 I feel like those are, we're scoring 50 points on the opponents.

Speaker 41 We're 10 and 4 glasses.

Speaker 155 Not we're fighting for our lives and we need whatever you just said, all the things that you said that need to happen, glasses.

Speaker 3 He's just, he's too far into we got to believe mode.

Speaker 166 Yeah.

Speaker 3 Sometimes it's okay to stop believing.

Speaker 4 Yeah, sometimes it's okay to give up.

Speaker 3 Journey said that.

Speaker 72 It's actually really fun to give up.

Speaker 37 It's fun to give up and just be like,

Speaker 29 just give give up. It's never going to get better.

Speaker 3 Why don't you just play well so that you have the ability to look back at what you just accomplished with pride? Yeah. Be like, we won this game.
Not because it means anything.

Speaker 80 Here's the difference.

Speaker 1 Like,

Speaker 18 look at Hank. He's happy.

Speaker 8 Look at memes, relatively happy.

Speaker 23 I'm relatively fine.

Speaker 30 Max

Speaker 8 has the best chance on this entire podcast to win a Super Bowl.

Speaker 106 And today pissed him off.

Speaker 3 He's miserable.

Speaker 27 When you come into Sundays with no expectations and no hopes and no dreams and no future, you can't really get hurt.

Speaker 3 Especially if you're looking at the draft. Yeah.

Speaker 12 I can't get hurt.

Speaker 67 I'm going to get so hurt.

Speaker 48 You're going to get so hurt.

Speaker 100 Join us.

Speaker 100 No.

Speaker 85 That was a cute no.

Speaker 3 No, I mean, there is something to that. Not having any expectations whatsoever.
You can't get hurt. Yeah.

Speaker 94 Can't get hurt.

Speaker 60 So the Dolphins should just not try to do this.

Speaker 15 You're going to hurt people.

Speaker 48 Yeah. Just give up.

Speaker 3 Yeah, what's going to happen is you're going to win maybe next week. When do they play next week? So I just had it up here a second ago.

Speaker 12 How many teams do they need?

Speaker 3 Well, they got to win out. Let's start with them.

Speaker 79 They have to win out.

Speaker 3 They got to win out. They can beat the Browns next week.
Yeah, they can beat Browns.

Speaker 3 So what's going to probably happen next week is you're going to beat the Browns, and then you're going to get mad because the other three or four teams that didn't have to help you out all helped you out.

Speaker 75 Yeah.

Speaker 3 You're going to be like, God damn it, I can't believe that the Chargers beat the Patriots. Right.

Speaker 71 And the Jets. You're going to be pissed.

Speaker 34 Oh, so they will win.

Speaker 60 Most likely.

Speaker 3 But next week, if

Speaker 52 memes stop.

Speaker 3 If they beat the Browns, gets cold in New York. And then the Chargers,

Speaker 3 if the Chargers beat the Patriots next week, then they're done. Yeah, so they're done.
So you're going to put all this work in. You're going to look through all the scenarios if you're a Dolphins fan.

Speaker 3 You're going to take care of your business, and then you're going to get super pissed off.

Speaker 75 Patriots Chargers of Saturday, at least.

Speaker 34 Oh, so

Speaker 76 they'll figure it out. All right.

Speaker 8 Now, I guess we just turn because the Niners have been eliminated.

Speaker 112 Season from hell.

Speaker 145 How much are we paying Brock Purdy?

Speaker 3 You got to pay him.

Speaker 146 How much are we paying him?

Speaker 18 50?

Speaker 101 Paying him 50?

Speaker 3 By the way, shout out to Brock Purdy. They did the whole, like, look at what these QBs gave to their offensive lineman last week, and he gave out, what did he pass out? It was something awesome.

Speaker 119 They were trucks.

Speaker 91 They're all trucks.

Speaker 62 It was a truck's ad.

Speaker 71 Yeah, it was a pad.

Speaker 85 It was 1,000% an ad.

Speaker 3 This is what I've noticed is, like, with Mahomes' one, too, they took, like, glamour shots of the pictures. I think they're all ads.

Speaker 52 No, not Joe Burrows.

Speaker 116 Katanas are not ads.

Speaker 3 Katana's not ads. Those are sick.

Speaker 35 Great gift.

Speaker 75 So the lineman wanted guns.

Speaker 106 Yeah, and he was like, I'm not going to get you guns.

Speaker 3 You brought swords to a gunfight?

Speaker 17 Does Cooper Rush have to get the gift?

Speaker 35 He should. Yeah.

Speaker 18 Or does Dak still?

Speaker 155 I mean,

Speaker 12 Dak's hurt. Yeah.

Speaker 11 Yeah, no, yeah, he got them Toyota tundras or something, and they were like,

Speaker 42 everyone's like, oh my God,

Speaker 42 how can he afford this?

Speaker 12 It's like, well, one, one,

Speaker 72 he still gets paid a decent salary, and he also has a lot of endorsements.

Speaker 13 And two, it's an ad.

Speaker 12 It's an ad.

Speaker 34 Yeah, these are all ads now.

Speaker 3 I don't like that we've turned this into the ad season. Not the Katanas.

Speaker 67 Not their worst trucks in Chevy Silverados. That's right.
Yeah, that's right.

Speaker 12 That's a fact.

Speaker 3 I got you a death box.

Speaker 71 Yeah.

Speaker 3 You probably killed his offensive lineman.

Speaker 44 Oh,

Speaker 92 we should get our offensive line, Chevy Silverados.

Speaker 42 Yeah. Chevy.
Let's do that ad next year.

Speaker 3 Does they have a wheelchair ramp?

Speaker 120 Yeah, we'll get memes, Max, Shane, Pug.

Speaker 107 What?

Speaker 119 The wheelchair ramp?

Speaker 67 The whole wheelchair thing. I come back.
I was so pissed off at PFT.

Speaker 128 He's like, I got you, this really expensive wheelchair.

Speaker 48 Can you just like, yeah, can you just like roll around in it, please?

Speaker 3 Is it not sweet? The chat really,

Speaker 67 I'm literally never. I'm walking.

Speaker 12 I'm walking.

Speaker 3 You might have to have surgery.

Speaker 67 You keep saying that like you want me to have surgery.

Speaker 3 I don't want you to have surgery, but at least if you do.

Speaker 67 The doctor told me I'm not going to need surgery.

Speaker 4 Wait, so you just came back and he had just put a wheelchair out in the middle and didn't say anything?

Speaker 47 No, no.

Speaker 37 Kind of like you did the fucking Panthers Bears thing in the middle of our conversation.

Speaker 67 That's not true.

Speaker 3 The wheelchair arrived.

Speaker 34 I ordered it.

Speaker 3 Max, I ordered it.

Speaker 91 That's really nice of you, Peter.

Speaker 3 Thank you. The second I found out that my boy Max had a broken foot.
That was huge. Without knowing the diagnosis, so let's not act like I did this after knowing that you'd be fine, Max.

Speaker 3 I thought the worst. I thought maybe you'd never walk again.
I ordered a motorized wheelchair with a joystick so you weren't able to lift the thing.

Speaker 47 It's a big wheel. Yeah, thank you.

Speaker 81 It's awesome.

Speaker 12 Unbelievably standard. And you know what?

Speaker 3 Hey, Max, if you don't need it, guess what?

Speaker 3 We can use it for other stuff around the office.

Speaker 67 Oh, no, that's just a toy for the office.

Speaker 47 You just didn't like that

Speaker 24 you had lost, and he was like, here's a wheelchair.

Speaker 120 Go be my monkey. Correct.

Speaker 12 Got it. That's fair.
Yeah.

Speaker 67 Were you in the cave? I said that exactly.

Speaker 65 No, I was upstairs.

Speaker 67 No, I was like, I said those exact words. U.S.

Speaker 3 fighter jet accidentally shot me.

Speaker 67 I'll fine, I'll be your monkey, and I just got it.

Speaker 89 And then you did? Yeah, of course.

Speaker 1 You got to stand up for yourself.

Speaker 151 I always have to.

Speaker 92 Because of your broken foot.

Speaker 67 No, I can stand now.

Speaker 67 I'm basically walking. Basically walking.
I'm not even bringing crutches home for Christmas.

Speaker 48 Wow.

Speaker 3 Is that a good idea?

Speaker 68 Great idea. What about the wheelchair?

Speaker 67 No wheelchair either. Why don't you bring a wheelchair?

Speaker 3 What about the wedding?

Speaker 119 I'm going to the wedding.

Speaker 106 What about when you go to the Eagles game?

Speaker 67 Going to the Eagles game.

Speaker 18 Are you going to bring a wheelchair?

Speaker 67 No, I'm going to be walking.

Speaker 3 It's going to be sore.

Speaker 20 You're going to try to get Big Dom to carry you.

Speaker 123 No, I'm not. Yeah, you are.

Speaker 122 You're going to ask Big Dom to carry you, and he will because he's that type of guy.

Speaker 12 I'm going to be walking.

Speaker 67 I'm good. It like barely hurts now.

Speaker 145 Oh, okay.

Speaker 36 Vikings 27, Seahawks 24.

Speaker 155 Oh, I had Jake Moody sucks.

Speaker 18 I think they used a third pick on him or third-round pick on him.

Speaker 3 Did they? Yeah, he sucks.

Speaker 62 He just misses kicks.

Speaker 85 And Jason Sanders is good.

Speaker 36 Vikings 27, Seahawks 24.

Speaker 20 Sam Darnold, baby.

Speaker 155 That was a...

Speaker 150 he got hammered on that play before he threw the game-winning touchdown to Justin Jefferson.

Speaker 15 Mm-hmm.

Speaker 160 It was, I think he got his leg, and he also got face mask.

Speaker 23 They did call the face mask.

Speaker 127 He just stepped up there and did next play,

Speaker 108 dart to Justin Jefferson.

Speaker 127 Sam Darnold.

Speaker 42 He's a fucking, he's just good at football.

Speaker 3 Jefferson got penalized for grittying while making eye contact. Yeah.
I thought the gritty was okay. I thought that had been established, like case law in the NFL.

Speaker 76 You can't do the eye icon.

Speaker 3 But you can't look at another man in the eye while you're grittying through the flag. You can't do icons.
I didn't like that.

Speaker 3 One thing I also, I actually can't figure out if I like this or Denton. Maybe you can help me figure it out.
Jason Myers, kicker for the Seahawks, trying a 60-yard field goal.

Speaker 3 I believe one minute, 57 seconds left in the fourth quarter.

Speaker 3 He missed the 60-yarder.

Speaker 3 Right afterwards, the camera caught one of his O-linemen jogging past him, sack-tapped him.

Speaker 18 Oh.

Speaker 3 Hit him in the nuts. I think I like that.
After he missed the kick. Can you try to pull pull that video up?

Speaker 1 I think I like that, and here's why.

Speaker 3 Just look at sack-tap Jason Myers.

Speaker 30 I think you basically give him something else to think about in that moment.

Speaker 13 You know what I'm saying? Yeah. Boom.

Speaker 71 Yeah.

Speaker 3 His homeboy got him.

Speaker 43 Like, that's good.

Speaker 160 Because, like, you see the, you're thinking about the kick.

Speaker 11 You're like, man, that sucks. I can't believe I missed that.

Speaker 26 He's like, here, think about me sack-tapping it.

Speaker 3 I think that was a plot line in Major League Two. I feel like their catcher got kicked in the ball

Speaker 3 by a donkey. Yeah.
And then, like, his grandmother died. You think about his balls hurting so much.

Speaker 51 Yeah, that's exactly what just happened.

Speaker 145 That's good.

Speaker 8 The Vikings control their own destiny for the one seed.

Speaker 95 It has not been talked about enough.

Speaker 90 They're just really good at football.

Speaker 113 Sam Darnold is just really good at football.

Speaker 37 Their defense is just really good at football.

Speaker 30 Kevin O'Connell should be coach of the year. He is now 25-9 in one possession games, which is second best in NFL history for a head coach.

Speaker 66 He He should be coach of the year for what he's done with his team and for what he's done with Sam Darnold.

Speaker 106 And they are a

Speaker 145 serious threat in the playoffs, especially if they get that one seed.

Speaker 13 I feel like there's going to be a lot of casual NFL fans who, if the Vikings went out, they'd be like, wait, what the hell?

Speaker 22 I thought the Lions had the one seed.

Speaker 3 Yeah, but they play the Lions.

Speaker 128 Yeah, right.

Speaker 15 And I mean, they have a big game against the Packers, who they've already beaten, but that will be a tough game.

Speaker 107 But yeah, the the Vikings are just, and Justin Jefferson is,

Speaker 104 it's Justin Jefferson or Jamar Chase, depending on, you know,

Speaker 24 they're both just the best receiver.

Speaker 60 Is that okay to say? Can I just say that? Can we just say, can we make that an official declaration?

Speaker 26 Justin Jefferson and Jamar Chase are the best receiver in the NFL.

Speaker 3 And Malik Neighbors is the best rookie receiver.

Speaker 116 Brian Thomas.

Speaker 3 And Brian Thomas, pretty good, too. Graphic.

Speaker 12 Yeah.

Speaker 3 LSU.

Speaker 35 Yeah, LSU makes good receivers.

Speaker 3 So,

Speaker 3 what's going on with the Seahawks offense? Is it time to have a conversation about Ryan Grubb?

Speaker 107 I just,

Speaker 114 I don't know if it's the Seahawks offense.

Speaker 127 Well, they couldn't run the ball today.

Speaker 100 They couldn't run the ball today.

Speaker 3 Well, they don't try to run the ball.

Speaker 34 They tried, but

Speaker 3 not really. Not really.
They didn't really try. Well, they also got down.

Speaker 27 They got down in the game pretty quickly.

Speaker 3 I mean, they were down 17 to 14 at halftime.

Speaker 155 Yeah, well, they scored to make it 17-14.

Speaker 91 Yeah, but they were down 17-17.

Speaker 3 Even in the second half, they never try to run the football. That's the thing about the Seahawks.
Every week, they say, you know what, we're going to recommit to the run.

Speaker 15 Try to run it.

Speaker 3 We've learned our lesson. We're going to establish the run.
We're going to go out there, put our heads down, and we're going to play off the run game, and then we can go and play action.

Speaker 3 And they never fucking do it. They never even try to establish the run.
Yeah. They don't try.
And I feel like we've had that same conversation about the Seahawks for years. Yeah.

Speaker 22 I mean, Kenneth Walker's been banged up a bunch, but yeah,

Speaker 36 I also just don't know what to think of Geno Smith because he is at times great and then he just tries to throw picks half the time as well.

Speaker 3 I also think that if you at least tried to run the football, then you could do play action.

Speaker 3 And then Geno Smith wouldn't be doing these things where he's like sprinting away from five guys, throwing off his back foot while closing his eyes and saying a prayer and getting picked off.

Speaker 26 Yeah, that happens a lot for the Seahawks.

Speaker 102 Happens a lot, a lot.

Speaker 147 Yeah.

Speaker 107 Memes, did you like the three-way Jets quarterback thing that was going on?

Speaker 164 Yeah, Fox is just highlighting that the Jets are a QB factory and we know how to develop quarterbacks so they have success elsewhere.

Speaker 26 Yeah, so Mark Sanchez is calling a game with Geno Smith and Sam Darnold all first-round Jets quarterbacks.

Speaker 94 Was Geno first-rounder?

Speaker 12 Yeah. Yep.

Speaker 123 Yeah.

Speaker 1 Yeah, I don't know what to.

Speaker 152 I think Geno's good.

Speaker 3 I think he's fine.

Speaker 4 But then I think he's bad.

Speaker 3 Geno would be a good bridge quarterback for the Jets.

Speaker 34 He would be.

Speaker 24 To maybe get... To maybe jump off that bridge.

Speaker 29 No, get Geno as a bridge quarterback and then sign Sam Darnold as your long-term option.

Speaker 139 Yeah.

Speaker 164 I'll take Sam back.

Speaker 164 There was a lot of Sam discourse.

Speaker 118 I don't know if you want.

Speaker 6 Just every time a guy

Speaker 50 sucks and then

Speaker 29 we should just remember that coaching matters so, so goddamn much.

Speaker 105 Kevin O'Connell is just a really good coach.

Speaker 56 Coach of the year.

Speaker 164 Yeah, no, Sam Darnold would suck on the Jets.

Speaker 47 Yeah.

Speaker 60 He'd suck at a lot of other places.

Speaker 87 Kevin O'Connell is a great coach, and they have great receivers.

Speaker 3 It is the perfect landing spot for a quarterback right now. Yeah.

Speaker 129 Okay, Hank,

Speaker 5 welcome back.

Speaker 90 Bills 24, Patriots, 21.

Speaker 48 Good game.

Speaker 36 Did Gerard Mayo save his job with that first quarter?

Speaker 119 Maybe.

Speaker 113 Hopefully not.

Speaker 3 Oh, well, your quarterback disagrees with you.

Speaker 65 Oh, your quarterback. Yeah, I like this.

Speaker 75 I like this comment from Drake.

Speaker 3 So Drake May said that he's had enough of the BS

Speaker 3 that there's a mutiny going on, that they don't want Mayo back. They want Mayo.
But except for Hank, Hank doesn't want Mayo.

Speaker 75 What did he say? Is that exactly what he said?

Speaker 107 I think that was exactly what he said.

Speaker 75 I think it was more just backing up as coach was a sign of a good leader.

Speaker 3 Maturity. I'll look it up.
I'll look it up.

Speaker 41 I like the Gerard Mayo did the fake punt.

Speaker 75 Fake punt was good. Drake May threw a couple dimes.

Speaker 60 Patriots were

Speaker 3 okay. Here's what he said.

Speaker 3 This is is him speaking on the negative dialogue surrounding the coaching staff.

Speaker 3 Stuff like that, I think it's some BS, to be quite honest. Coach Mayo, like I said, we've got his back.
I think we're building something good. I'm proud to be a Patriot.

Speaker 75 Yeah, so he doesn't say I want Mayo, but he had his back, which is respectable.

Speaker 3 Well, he was referring to the negative dialogue surrounding the coaching staff as being some bullshit.

Speaker 158 Yeah.

Speaker 75 Which again, he's having his coaches back. That's, again, sign of a leader, commendable.

Speaker 75 He played pretty good. The touchdown pass in the first quarter was an absolute dot,

Speaker 75 but they lost. Obviously, when there's a lot of bad teams and, you know, the draft.

Speaker 75 You win a game, you can drop like six spots.

Speaker 75 That was a good loss. That was a good loss.

Speaker 3 How about Drake May being the best scrambling quarterback ever?

Speaker 158 Yeah, it's great. Perfect draft.

Speaker 12 It was a great draft for you.

Speaker 41 Huge draft.

Speaker 4 And the Bills had

Speaker 150 their

Speaker 39 let-down spot after a huge win against the Lions and still won because that was, they didn't look good.

Speaker 29 I mean, their defense got bullied in the first quarter.

Speaker 136 They did kind of bow up in the second half, forcing three turnovers.

Speaker 113 Then the backwards pass was kind of all she wrote for that game.

Speaker 37 Josh didn't play great. He also banged up.

Speaker 95 He banged his funny bone.

Speaker 145 James Cook, though.

Speaker 35 James Cook is a weapon.

Speaker 18 He's awesome.

Speaker 150 And I also liked

Speaker 29 Jordan Phillips.

Speaker 8 Did you guys see that on the Bills?

Speaker 61 He wore a full coat under his uniform to warm up.

Speaker 144 He learned.

Speaker 3 He learned from the Tennessee volunteers.

Speaker 127 I mean, I still don't understand why those white guys do that.

Speaker 13 It makes no sense to me.

Speaker 3 Yeah, it's actually bad for you to warm up without a shirt on. You do look cool as hell, though.

Speaker 8 Yeah, but it doesn't do anything for the toughness.

Speaker 3 Intimidation.

Speaker 108 It really feels like you're just trying to prove it to yourself.

Speaker 12 Yeah, it looks...

Speaker 3 Yeah, you kind of are. Yeah.
And because it looks sweet.

Speaker 106 But the minute you do that, I'm like, you're going to lose.

Speaker 39 Because you're just trying to do it to yourself.

Speaker 75 I mean, you guys went tarps off at Buffalo.

Speaker 3 It was cold.

Speaker 16 Yeah, because you were like, hey, let's take a picture, you fat fucks in the snow.

Speaker 18 And we're like, okay.

Speaker 3 It's a sick picture. The thing is, if you have to prove it to yourself, and we put our shirts back on two seconds later.

Speaker 17 And then went sat in a suite.

Speaker 3 If you're trying to prove to yourself that you're not cold by taking your shirt off, you're actually admitting that it does affect you.

Speaker 106 Yeah, it's in your head.

Speaker 3 Because the cold's already won. Yeah.

Speaker 100 It's also like the they make clothes for a reason.

Speaker 3 That's true. It keeps you warm.

Speaker 1 It's pretty awesome. Yeah.

Speaker 27 You can wear like warm clothes and stay warm.

Speaker 49 Yeah,

Speaker 106 you have anything else this game?

Speaker 12 No. Good loss.

Speaker 71 Good loss for Hank.

Speaker 3 Good loss. Good win for Buffalo.

Speaker 128 Yeah.

Speaker 3 It was weird seeing them wearing the Patriots uniforms.

Speaker 106 Yeah. Yeah, that was a little trash.

Speaker 3 Like, there were several times when actually, I think Drake May launched a bomb down the field. It got picked off, but then I thought that it was a Patriots receiver that caught it.
Yeah.

Speaker 3 Even though the other uniform, it was mindfuck. I didn't like it.

Speaker 17 What do you have in your...

Speaker 105 What is that?

Speaker 119 Axis is playing with dolls.

Speaker 151 You're playing with dolls?

Speaker 67 I'm at the ADD portion.

Speaker 151 Chucky thing.

Speaker 67 I've been scaring memes with it.

Speaker 114 Well, we have one last game.

Speaker 84 Memes.

Speaker 3 Don't look at the light.

Speaker 133 We have Raiders 19, Jaguars 14,

Speaker 17 and we have a special announcement.

Speaker 168 Hey, this is Rhea from Chicks in the Office, and this season, we're heading home for the holidays with Abercrombie and Fitch. We all know our calendars are about to get chaotic.

Speaker 168 For non-stop plans, Abercrombie Abercrombie has the pieces to curate your perfect seasonal wardrobe, sweaters and denim for casual plans, party dresses for nights out, and comfy matching sets for everything in between.

Speaker 168 Keep the chaos cute this season in Abercrombie. Shop their new holiday outfits in the app online or in stores.

Speaker 107 Okay, I think that's the best Raiders Jaguars recap you could ever have just getting to see the awesome Pop-Tarts trophy.

Speaker 3 It was incredible. Also, Brian Thomas Jr., very, very good.

Speaker 35 Yeah, and the Raiders screwed themselves in the draft pick.

Speaker 3 I think that might be the worst win of the season.

Speaker 34 Yeah, I'd agree.

Speaker 126 They went from the first pick in the draft to the sixth.

Speaker 45 And they need a quarterback.

Speaker 3 Worst win of the season by far. That might, I don't know, Jacksonville, Tennessee, whoever wins that game, that might be the worst win of the season.

Speaker 43 That could be very bad. Yeah, that could be very bad.

Speaker 3 Because they're in the same division. Implications.

Speaker 54 Yeah, I mean, although Jacksonville doesn't need a quarterback, but yeah, that's that.

Speaker 83 The Raiders need a quarterback. Yeah.

Speaker 140 And they won that game.

Speaker 3 This is a must-lose.

Speaker 29 Yeah.

Speaker 26 Also, Brock Powers continues to be incredible because he is 10 yards away from Dikka's rookie record, and he also is the first rookie tight end to have over 100 receptions.

Speaker 91 He's awesome.

Speaker 3 It's what happens when you have too good of a coordinator like Scott Turner. Yeah.

Speaker 12 He's, yeah, that's exactly what happened.

Speaker 3 We got an update on his dogs. Did we say the update on the air? We did not.
Okay, so his dog is a Rottweiler, right?

Speaker 3 And then his parents' dog, is it a dachshund?

Speaker 71 Yeah.

Speaker 3 Small dog. So we were right on half of it.
We were right on his dad being a small dog guy. Yeah.
But he's not a small dog guy.

Speaker 71 Rottweiler. Yeah.
Man dog.

Speaker 26 Also, great offensive coordinator because he has not been dealt the best hands.

Speaker 139 No.

Speaker 120 But Aid O'Connell, not so bad.

Speaker 3 No, but again, you'd rather, he might be too good.

Speaker 42 He might be too good.

Speaker 3 He might be too good. Go back to Desmond Ritter.
See what you can do with him. Yeah.

Speaker 3 How daunted are you, Big Cat?

Speaker 49 Ah, what, Hank?

Speaker 75 I'll let you guys go. I got some, I got some.

Speaker 65 No, let's hear it. What?

Speaker 73 I got some fun. Go ahead.

Speaker 119 Let's hear it.

Speaker 119 Go ahead. You're going to be so miserable what you're about to say.

Speaker 125 No, go ahead.

Speaker 75 All week long, this is going to be the greatest weekend of football, the greatest weekend of football, college football.

Speaker 78 Like, you don't watch college football.

Speaker 12 How can you not watch college football?

Speaker 36 Wait, I said this is going to be the greatest weekend of football?

Speaker 75 Many people are saying that.

Speaker 48 Okay.

Speaker 75 It was terrible. It was basically, it was essentially

Speaker 75 reminding me of week one

Speaker 75 when you're playing random other teams from other conferences and it's just blowouts. No good games.
Not exciting whatsoever.

Speaker 73 Just trash. Yeah, it was a bad first round.

Speaker 127 Bad football.

Speaker 6 It was a bad first round.

Speaker 97 College football is the only sport that I think people are more obsessed with arguing online than actually watching the games.

Speaker 37 Because we had just the whole, you know, Indiana loses, Indiana shouldn't be in. By the way, Kurt Signetti, biggest coward pussy of all time.

Speaker 3 That was a bad punt. You should disavow it.

Speaker 3 That was the most daunted punt. You know what? I disavow that punt.

Speaker 134 You can't talk shit like he talks shit on game day, being like, whenever we play a top 25 team, we beat the shit out of him.

Speaker 162 And then punt down 20 points, 20-plus points on midfield.

Speaker 1 Like, what a pussy.

Speaker 3 He has mastered the art of losing to way, way, way, way, way better teams. And then having the final score make it look like Indiana was still kind of in the game.
Yeah.

Speaker 4 He was literally playing for resume.

Speaker 148 Like, Indiana fans.

Speaker 7 Indiana fans at the end of the weekend were like, we actually lost by the least amount.

Speaker 102 It's like, we watched that game.

Speaker 152 That is true.

Speaker 131 That game was never close.

Speaker 115 You were never in that game.

Speaker 123 Also,

Speaker 37 I think you shouldn't like Kurt Signetti.

Speaker 72 Okay, so here's... Because

Speaker 72 he's going to take more of your players this year.

Speaker 3 I'll explain why I rooted for Kurt Signetti this year. It's because at this point, I have to accept reality.
I can fight reality or

Speaker 3 I can deal with it.

Speaker 3 JMU is a stepping stone school. We might as well be the best stepping stone school so we get the best coaches that want to coach for us.

Speaker 42 But still, he took your whole team.

Speaker 131 He's going to take more of your guys this year.

Speaker 34 I'd hate that.

Speaker 3 He might.

Speaker 72 Like, that'd be a bullshit thing.

Speaker 3 It was a pussy punt.

Speaker 134 Insane punt.

Speaker 65 It was crazy.

Speaker 40 Listen, if you don't talk like Kurt Signetti talks, whatever.

Speaker 117 You can be like, hey, the game's over.

Speaker 1 We're just going to get our ass.

Speaker 26 We're never going to get it.

Speaker 131 It's fine.

Speaker 41 It would still be a pussy punt, but it'd be like, whatever.

Speaker 59 He talks so much shit, and then he does that.

Speaker 133 That was crazy to me.

Speaker 20 But either way, Hank, back to your point.

Speaker 114 Yes, the game sucked.

Speaker 24 It is the first year of a 12-team playoff.

Speaker 52 I think the seeding, obviously, was a flaw in the system that they'll figure out.

Speaker 106 It should have been.

Speaker 16 Boise State and Arizona State should have been playing this weekend.

Speaker 89 That should have happened.

Speaker 98 A team like

Speaker 41 Penn State should have had a buy.

Speaker 52 Texas should have had a buy.

Speaker 19 They should have done the buys based on the four highest-ranked teams or whatever it would have been.

Speaker 104 I don't know if it would would have been notre dame and and penn state either way the they obviously have to figure out the seating stuff here's my counterpoint to anyone who's complaining about how the first round went because people again college football fans there's a whole group of them that would rather complain online and do the debates and like

Speaker 4 SEC hypotheticals where the SEC has never lost a hypothetical.

Speaker 106 Like all Friday night, it was like Alabama would have been better in this spot.

Speaker 132 Then you didn't hear them when Tennessee got boat raced by Ohio State.

Speaker 22 They kind of went away when you heard that.

Speaker 115 When

Speaker 131 the two-win team from the SEC got absolutely smoked by the Big Ten.

Speaker 3 The team that beat Alabama.

Speaker 12 Right. Yeah.
Right.

Speaker 3 Got you. So smoked.
And then Alabama lost to Oklahoma.

Speaker 78 Yeah.

Speaker 3 A shitty team. Correct.
And then Ole Miss, you lose to Kentucky. Right.
Another shitty team. You don't know.
But yeah, no, they are right in that.

Speaker 3 If you're an SEC school, a fan of an SEC school, you can just straight up say, like, SEC is the best conference. We would have done better in that.

Speaker 17 Yeah, they've never, they're undefeated in hypotheticals.

Speaker 72 So, obviously, the game, I'm not going to, I'm not going to pretend that the games were good.

Speaker 17 They were not good.

Speaker 8 I also think, like, you had four teams playing home games that were better than the four teams that were coming into their home stadium.

Speaker 87 So, I wasn't totally shocked.

Speaker 85 I mean, the closest point spread was seven points.

Speaker 118 My pushback on anyone who's like, this doesn't work, blow it all up again.

Speaker 92 First of all, that's insane.

Speaker 19 It's the first year.

Speaker 34 Second, what would be the alternative that you would rather have?

Speaker 66 Would you rather have Ohio State and Tennessee playing in the Peach Bowl that doesn't mean anything, that has 30 guys on each side opting out and transferring?

Speaker 91 Because that's what we did have.

Speaker 72 We had guys opting out of the Rose Bowl two years ago.

Speaker 3 Listen, it was bad football, but it was still

Speaker 61 meaningful.

Speaker 126 And it was also meaningful.

Speaker 60 It means something because they're going to the next round.

Speaker 3 And you get to look at the brackets and who moves on and what those next matchups are going to be like. And then that's where you run into some real complaining.

Speaker 3 Like Ohio State, by losing to Michigan, and credit to Ohio State, by the way. Oh, they were awesome.

Speaker 3 Because they played really, really well in a situation where, like, we didn't know if they were just going to have given up on the season. Correct.

Speaker 3 But they went out there and they just beat the fuck out of Tennessee.

Speaker 3 But you're also in a situation where Ohio State, by losing that game to Michigan, ended up creating a great scenario for themselves and a bad scenario for Tennessee.

Speaker 8 Although Tennessee would have had to play Indiana, and Indiana lost by less to Ohio State.

Speaker 43 That's true. Yeah, if you look to the business.

Speaker 12 I'm just saying,

Speaker 60 I think Tennessee probably would beat Indiana.

Speaker 73 Probably.

Speaker 34 But Indiana did play better.

Speaker 13 I mean, again, they scored late because Kurt Signetti, that is what he does.

Speaker 38 Yeah, no,

Speaker 132 that was really good at that.

Speaker 3 He was number one at Signetti manufacturing the final score.

Speaker 46 Yeah, 10-point loss.

Speaker 66 Best loss of the weekend.

Speaker 29 But yeah, it was not a great weekend of college football, but I don't think ⁇ I think as soon as they figure out the seeding, which would be a lot better.

Speaker 43 So, yeah, what would it be, Max?

Speaker 67 So, it would be if you go off the AP and then you switch Bama and SMU, like let's just say they keep Bama and well, no, you'd have to switch Clemson too, obviously.

Speaker 16 Correct.

Speaker 67 So, it would have been Penn State, Clemson,

Speaker 67 then it would have been Ohio State, SMU. That would have been an absolute route.

Speaker 62 Yep.

Speaker 67 But then it would have been Tennessee, Arizona State. That would be a fun game, I think.
Yep. And then Boise State, Indiana, I think.
Would have been a great

Speaker 146 fun game.

Speaker 12 Yeah.

Speaker 67 So I think if you go off of that, it should fix something. Like the 5-12

Speaker 67 kind of will look like a route again. But it kind of should be.

Speaker 78 Yeah, that's exactly the point.

Speaker 34 Some of that.

Speaker 72 The fifth-ranked team should beat the 12th-ranked team most times, especially in their home place.

Speaker 86 Like,

Speaker 127 that's just a fact.

Speaker 3 And it's also not like college basketball. Right.
It's not. It's different.

Speaker 48 Football is never going to be like that.

Speaker 3 It's a different sport where if you have one program that has by far more talent, it's not like you will find yourself lucking into a road victory against that team as a vastly inferior opponent.

Speaker 3 That's just not going to happen. And

Speaker 16 the only other point I had, and this is where, you know, we are react, we react to these things in the moment, and I get it because I do the same thing all the time.

Speaker 17 I'm way too

Speaker 144 reactionary with all this stuff.

Speaker 1 This weekend sucked, but remember,

Speaker 15 the college football playoff going to 12 teams,

Speaker 22 in my opinion, made this season so much more fun.

Speaker 140 Like, we had weekends that didn't have that would not have meant anything mean something oklahoma beating alabama meant something whereas in the four team playoff alabama probably would have already been out so

Speaker 120 this weekend sucked but like you have to take what what the 12 team playoff is is not just this first weekend it's everything that happened all season long that got us to this point and it's also everything that's going to happen going forward where we have some really good i mean penn state georgia is going to be a great matchup in my opinion or no that's not no Notre Dame, Georgia.

Speaker 112 Notre Dame, Georgia is going to be a great matchup.

Speaker 97 I mean, we know Ohio State, Oregon is going to be a great matchup because we saw the game earlier.

Speaker 114 Again, the seeding part is kind of fucked up because

Speaker 112 they should have reseeded at least this year where Oregon should have played

Speaker 35 Arizona State or Boise State because Oregon got screwed having to be the number one seed, only undefeated team in the country, and having to play Ohio State.

Speaker 30 But

Speaker 121 it's a flawed first crack at it, and I'm sure they'll fix it.

Speaker 67 Yeah, so if you were to go off of like

Speaker 67 the 12, it would have been Oregon would play the winner of Boise State, Indiana. Right.

Speaker 60 That makes more sense. That makes sense.

Speaker 18 Right.

Speaker 43 They got screwed, but that's going to be an awesome Rose Bowl.

Speaker 3 I mean, the best game is probably Texas Clemson, and that wasn't even that close. Just for a second, you thought, oh, Clemson, not as dead as I thought they were.

Speaker 126 Yeah, they came back in that game.

Speaker 3 But yeah, I also like the NFL playoffs sucked sometimes, too.

Speaker 60 Yeah, the first round last year

Speaker 3 wasn't great.

Speaker 36 And again, Penn State's a really good football team.

Speaker 93 Notre Dame's a really good football team.

Speaker 111 Tennessee or Ohio State and Texas are really good football teams.

Speaker 8 I expected them to win.

Speaker 90 I wish it was closer, but that's just kind of

Speaker 125 how it goes.

Speaker 124 Oh, yeah, people are pointing out last year was awesome, so they ruined it.

Speaker 11 We still have this coming. Yeah.

Speaker 114 The semifinals are still two rounds or a round away.

Speaker 2 Like we still have more chances for great games.

Speaker 63 I still think

Speaker 48 on a whole,

Speaker 7 we had two great playoff games last year.

Speaker 38 I think we'll get more than two great playoff games this year.

Speaker 67 Do you think people would be upset of a Penn State Notre Dame semifinal and then a Texas Ohio State? Yeah.

Speaker 67 Those are good games.

Speaker 12 Right. Yeah.
Right. We're going to get there.

Speaker 3 And I ain't about the appetizers. You haven't even ordered your entree yet.

Speaker 17 I'm not sleeping on Boise Order.

Speaker 119 Penn State's winning.

Speaker 67 No, I'm just saying we're going to get

Speaker 43 out of the games.

Speaker 4 Can we talk about that game real quick?

Speaker 13 Because that was, I did bet Penn State, and it was based on the fact that that was the least big game of all time, and that's why James Franklin was going to dominate.

Speaker 67 Oh, yeah, that wasn't a big game at all. It was like, even, like, waking up, it didn't even feel like a big game.

Speaker 1 Kevin Jennings got the minute he started throwing those picks, you're just like, yeah, what is going on?

Speaker 3 Yeah, what was the mood like in the stadium? Did it have big game feel? Oh, yeah.

Speaker 35 It looked awesome. The big stadium was popping.

Speaker 67 All of my buddies were there. My brother, his wife were there.

Speaker 67 I heard unbelievable things from within the stadium,

Speaker 67 but that's also like

Speaker 67 I'm happy that we got that the people that were at that game that go to a bunch of games every year got a college football playoff and got to be there for it.

Speaker 158 Yeah.

Speaker 67 But when,

Speaker 67 what is his name, Jennings?

Speaker 67 I just said Ken Jennings. Kevin Jennings, yeah.
Yeah, Ken Jennings. Like, he did the thing where he did the me, where he put his hands over his ears.
Yeah. And then they had to call a timeout.

Speaker 67 And then he immediately threw the pick six to Tony Rojas. And it was like,

Speaker 67 there's no way they were ever going to win that game.

Speaker 12 Ever.

Speaker 67 Penn State didn't even play well.

Speaker 67 They did not play their best game at all.

Speaker 12 Yeah.

Speaker 67 They just smoked them.

Speaker 3 How about the big game environment inside the horseshoe pregame, the band on the field? Yeah.

Speaker 3 What instrument was that lady playing? Where she just was like, love it.

Speaker 100 I prevented the senior going out.

Speaker 3 That was, I felt something. I was like, this means more.

Speaker 12 Yeah.

Speaker 67 Also, very funny where Penn State put SMU's band.

Speaker 12 Oh, all the way up top.

Speaker 12 Couldn't have been

Speaker 67 a worse section in the entire stadium. Yeah.

Speaker 60 So, Hank, are you going to give the next round of college football a shot?

Speaker 75 Yeah, I mean, I'm going to give him a shot. I just,

Speaker 75 there's a lot.

Speaker 67 I love how

Speaker 3 we lucked into a real Rose Bowl matchup. Yeah.
Yeah. That's pretty cool.
Yeah.

Speaker 60 The Rose Bowl is going to be awesome.

Speaker 90 And then you have Notre Dame and Georgia playing right after. Yeah.

Speaker 139 Like,

Speaker 148 and again,

Speaker 162 even if these games aren't close, I don't know what to say.

Speaker 57 Like, that's sports.

Speaker 1 You can't, that's the beauty of sports.

Speaker 57 I don't know what's going to happen.

Speaker 52 You can't just say every time there's a blow-up being like, everything's broken, fix it.

Speaker 83 We had, do you remember when they went to the 14 playoff?

Speaker 1 I remember sitting and watching on New Year's Eve.

Speaker 75 That sucked.

Speaker 81 Alabama versus

Speaker 133 Washington, or was it Michigan State?

Speaker 8 There was Michigan State one, too, where they didn't score any points, and it was brutal.

Speaker 38 And then it slowly got, you know, it got better over years, but like, this is just a new system that they'll slowly figure out.

Speaker 72 And I get it.

Speaker 87 There's probably only five teams realistically every year that could win a college football national championship.

Speaker 121 I still like having more teams involved, and you can have the chance of something special happening in a

Speaker 37 single elimination tournament.

Speaker 38 There probably will never be a Cinderella to win it all, but I never expected that.

Speaker 3 I mean, if you have teams that are loaded at the top with five-star players and then you get like SMU going into Penn State, that's always going to happen. Yeah.

Speaker 3 But if you're, if you're SMU, at least you have that one week to be like, you know what? What if? Yeah. We could win the entire thing.
And if we and it means, and the game does mean something, too.

Speaker 4 If we keep playing this, I don't know, 25 years, there will be a 12 that beats a five.

Speaker 132 Like, it will happen because that's just football and that's sports and it's weird like that.

Speaker 3 We used to have a computer pick the winner. Yeah.
There would be a computer and be like, okay, I'm going to spit out a bunch of numbers. Oh, we have co-national champions this year.
Yeah.

Speaker 133 Two teams would play in separate bowl games and have a chance to win a national championship.

Speaker 161 Yeah.

Speaker 25 Like, oh, you beat them.

Speaker 3 And then your team could win their bowl game, and then the computer doesn't pick you, and then you get to claim a national championship that nobody else will respect for the rest of eternity.

Speaker 3 Yeah, we're doing better. Which actually kind of rocks.

Speaker 129 Okay.

Speaker 112 Should we do Who's Back of the Week?

Speaker 112 Henry, who's back of the week?

Speaker 75 My who's back of the week is AWL Charlie Woods. Yeah, it was my.

Speaker 3 Congrats, Charlie.

Speaker 75 Love that. He hit his first hole in one.
I think it's in tournament play. I'm sure he probably has a bunch otherwise.

Speaker 3 I think he said it was his first.

Speaker 75 Even better. Yeah.
Hit a hole in one.

Speaker 65 That's what they always say.

Speaker 75 Him and Tiger lost in the playoff.

Speaker 75 So they almost won the whole thing.

Speaker 147 Yeah, fucked Bernard Longer.

Speaker 119 Why, because he's old?

Speaker 3 Well, apparently the guy's coming back from like an Achilles injury, and he's hitting from the seniors' tease.

Speaker 133 That was crazy.

Speaker 1 67 years old?

Speaker 3 He gets an additional like 120 yards on every drive.

Speaker 12 Whose side are you on?

Speaker 75 I mean, he's 67 years old. It's like.

Speaker 100 So then don't play golf

Speaker 2 in a tournament like this.

Speaker 148 He literally walked like 100 yards up to hit his T-shot.

Speaker 111 Senior T's.

Speaker 75 It was crazy. They were in front of the.
He was teeing off. in front of amateurs where he was.
Yeah.

Speaker 3 See, me personally, I'd have too much pride to do that. Same.
I wouldn't hit from those T's.

Speaker 85 Same.

Speaker 3 Maybe I go one ahead. I did did from the blues.

Speaker 26 Also, he's won the tournament like seven times in a row.

Speaker 124 Enough, dude.

Speaker 3 Yeah, well, because he's got a system. Right.
This guy's a hustler.

Speaker 3 But yeah, Charlie Woods, sick pulling one.

Speaker 117 You got you thinking about it? No,

Speaker 75 I was just. His press conference afterwards was funny when he was like, yeah, you know, I thought I'd see my dad's best, but like, this is actually the, he actually played really well today.

Speaker 2 He played great. Charlie said that? Yeah, fucking Tell Tiger.

Speaker 75 I was like, yeah, I used to be good. Like,

Speaker 12 I can be good. You know,

Speaker 75 I I have the ability to be a good golfer.

Speaker 3 And Charlie almost nailed that putt, too, on 18.

Speaker 130 I wanted it in so bad. We love Charlie Woods.

Speaker 3 He's our guy. You got it stolen away from him.
Yeah. A moment taken away.

Speaker 92 You just can't feel good if you're Bernard longer and you're hitting from the.

Speaker 18 His son's like 35.

Speaker 72 Yeah, his son's like, yeah.

Speaker 57 Charlie is 16 years old.

Speaker 118 And this guy is, his son was in college like 10 years ago.

Speaker 3 He's like a doctor.

Speaker 106 Yeah. I didn't like that.

Speaker 71 Yeah, it's bullshit.

Speaker 123 Okay. PFT.

Speaker 3 I was going to say Charlie Woods, too, but I'll just say people talking about Ricky Henderson. Yeah.

Speaker 3 Because he passed away, and it's sad because Ricky Henderson was such an awesome, awesome baseball player to watch.

Speaker 3 All his base stealing records are just insane. They're the stats that you can look up and be like, oh, it would take somebody like 30 years stealing 70 bases a year to do what he did.

Speaker 3 And he played till he was old, but he was still really, really fast and he was great to watch. Best leadoff hitter of all time.
Yeah.

Speaker 3 But I'm just glad that people are talking about Ricky Henderson.

Speaker 102 Also the stories, you know, whether it be he framed his million-dollar signing bonus check when he was a rookie or the famous John Ulrode story where he went up to John Ulroode and was like, hey,

Speaker 130 we used to have a guy like who used to wear the helmet at first base when I was on the Mets.

Speaker 86 And John Ulro was like, yeah, dude, that was me.

Speaker 37 We were teammates, Ricky.

Speaker 62 Yeah.

Speaker 48 So

Speaker 4 he was the best.

Speaker 3 It's sad because he was, what, 65 years old?

Speaker 12 Yeah.

Speaker 1 And he also was like one of the only guys who I feel like was

Speaker 92 everyone

Speaker 136 was okay with him doing first person.

Speaker 12 Yeah.

Speaker 36 Like he just would say, Ricky thinks this, and be like, yeah, that's cool.

Speaker 3 He was like, you're Ricky Anderson. He was the flashiest dude ever, but it matched up with watching a play.
Yeah. It's like, yeah, you can get away with anything that you want, Ricky.

Speaker 3 He was born on Christmas.

Speaker 62 That's cool. Yeah, so that flashy from day one.

Speaker 3 Yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 80 A player could steal 60 bases a year for 22 straight years and Ricky Henderson would still have more stolen bases.

Speaker 3 Did he invent taking, like actually taking the base?

Speaker 3 Like when he had a milestone stolen base where he'd just take it out of the ground before? I don't know. This is my base now.

Speaker 38 The best tweet some baseball writer said is like Ricky Henderson was actually the first guy to

Speaker 90 pimp and showboat home runs.

Speaker 134 But he would do it right in the pitcher's face and the pitcher knew they couldn't bean him the next time he was up because if they beaned him, he'd be on third base in two pitches.

Speaker 106 Yeah, like you couldn't put him on base, like intentionally.

Speaker 18 So, yeah.

Speaker 121 What was that one?

Speaker 26 Ricky Anderson trying to find a seat on the team bus.

Speaker 52 Teammate, tell one of them to move.

Speaker 20 You got tenure.

Speaker 101 Ricky, tenure?

Speaker 21 Nah, Ricky's been in the league 15 years.

Speaker 48 Yeah,

Speaker 106 I don't even know if half of these are true, but they're funny, and he feels like he was just a legendary, legendary guy.

Speaker 109 Yeah. That was good.

Speaker 130 I had it as my who's back as well.

Speaker 129 um

Speaker 101 i don't know what my who's back would be then oh no whoa oh i have one uh buy mike florio's book well actually you don't have to it's free on amazon on christmas day uh and christmas eve mike florio our good friend we love him his e-book is free on amazon tuesday and wednesday uh so please go download it because we love him it's called father of mine it's free on tuesday and wednesday go do it please help him.

Speaker 38 We're going to do Friday, our regular show.

Speaker 97 We'll do Zoom on Friday and Zoom on Monday, and then we'll be back together the following Friday.

Speaker 23 Max, are we good?

Speaker 128 Yeah, I feel okay. Yeah.

Speaker 139 Yeah.

Speaker 75 One hour,

Speaker 119 fourth episode of Friday T-Talk, Thursday.

Speaker 140 There was one moment where you were screaming it.

Speaker 90 I think you were screaming at PFT.

Speaker 34 It's okay. It happens.

Speaker 118 I love it.

Speaker 12 I love it. Yeah, I love it.

Speaker 68 I love this episode?

Speaker 44 Yeah, I love it. I think it's the best.

Speaker 98 Listen, we all have our passion.

Speaker 22 I got mad at you when you pulled up that fucking meme.

Speaker 27 Yeah, I know.

Speaker 67 That was payback.

Speaker 152 But we should be okay with getting mad at each other.

Speaker 67 Yeah, that's what makes the show great. Right.

Speaker 52 We keep it in between the white lines.

Speaker 91 Yeah. Except memes.

Speaker 103 He hates us outside the white lines. Yeah, that's actually.

Speaker 17 He carries everything with him afterwards.

Speaker 67 It is funny whenever I see, whenever I see anybody out in public, pretty much the only thing that they say is fuck Hank.

Speaker 48 Because that's not like.

Speaker 67 They think that I genuinely hate Hank.

Speaker 12 Yeah.

Speaker 67 They're like, I fucking hate Hank too.

Speaker 48 It is funny when people think that.

Speaker 152 It's like, yeah, we spend like 60 hours a week together.

Speaker 93 Yeah.

Speaker 152 We genuinely love each other.

Speaker 3 If you know Hank, you know he's not about the drama.

Speaker 71 It's also like,

Speaker 76 I don't.

Speaker 83 Do you think there are friends?

Speaker 119 That's probably when you're in Philly.

Speaker 24 Do you think there are friends out there that root for each other's teams to do well if they have different teams?

Speaker 119 That's what I'm your guys' teams. No, you don't.

Speaker 3 Shut the fuck up. No, you don't.
You literally bet against us to make the playoffs.

Speaker 133 Like, genuinely root for them?

Speaker 12 Like, there'll be times where I'll root, I'll like, you liar.

Speaker 119 Like, I bet on the win in the Super Bowl, too.

Speaker 167 There'll be times where, outside of bets, outside of bets, but there'll be times when I'll root for your guys' team, but like

Speaker 152 genuinely be like,

Speaker 124 I want my friends' teams to fucking rock.

Speaker 3 Yeah, want them you want your friends to be just as miserable as you are right i just said my my goal for the nba season right is to laugh in his face right right

Speaker 17 i want both of you guys to have maximum pain in the playoffs that's mean but it's the truth

Speaker 3 i actually would like pft to win one game that's mean big cat i would like pft to win one game i was you max actually no i'd like max to go to the super bowl that would be fun it'd be great would you okay so would you actually be upset if the Commanders went to the Super Bowl?

Speaker 95 If they won the Super Bowl, I'd be like, this is fucking bullshit.

Speaker 48 Yeah.

Speaker 3 Absolutely.

Speaker 92 But if you won one game, I'd be happy for you.

Speaker 99 Genuinely happy for you for one game.

Speaker 3 That would be cool. What if I beat Max?

Speaker 43 That would be very cool. But that would just.

Speaker 67 But he would like that more for my pain than your output.

Speaker 71 Correct. No shit.
Correct.

Speaker 12 Yeah.

Speaker 41 Yeah, so that actually would.

Speaker 8 I don't know, because it would be like kind of wasting.

Speaker 115 Like, I'd rather you win.

Speaker 135 Like, if you played the Packers, I'd be fucking.

Speaker 12 I know that's not possible, but that would be incredible. I'd be rooting very hard for you.

Speaker 3 Okay, so what about this scenario? The Packers play the Eagles in the first round.

Speaker 98 That's on the table. I'm rooting for Max hard.

Speaker 123 You won't get hard.

Speaker 3 That would be the meanest thing the Packers could do to you is take the joy

Speaker 48 out of

Speaker 3 enjoying an Eagles loss.

Speaker 126 I would be more heartbroken than Max.

Speaker 76 Yeah.

Speaker 34 I think I would. Because

Speaker 87 I wouldn't be able to enjoy your loss.

Speaker 18 The Packers would rob my joy.

Speaker 71 All the joy.

Speaker 1 They would rob my joy of your loss from me.

Speaker 60 Think about that.

Speaker 82 Yeah, yes.

Speaker 94 Paint the picture again, real quick, of

Speaker 93 game seven

Speaker 96 of the Eastern Conference Finals. What is it?

Speaker 76 Maybe, yeah, like

Speaker 103 there's 10 seconds left. I don't know.

Speaker 67 I just want to see Hank upset.

Speaker 67 He's never upset, ever.

Speaker 3 He almost died the other week.

Speaker 91 No, but

Speaker 67 that's different. Upset.
But I'm pretty sure that we weren't even together during that.

Speaker 67 I'm pretty. Actually, no.

Speaker 2 He was pretty upset after losing to the Heat.

Speaker 67 I was thinking that was Memorial Day, but that was Memorial Day when they

Speaker 87 killed one of the people.

Speaker 38 He was pretty upset when they lost the Heat.

Speaker 75 I'm such a chill, happy guy.

Speaker 3 I'm sorry that upsets you.

Speaker 155 The chillest, happiest guy.

Speaker 60 Merry Christmas, everyone.

Speaker 27 Well, no, we'll be back before New Year. Yep.

Speaker 116 Happy, happy Hanukkah.

Speaker 98 Happy Kwanzaa happy every oh, that kid rocks.

Speaker 137 There's nothing like

Speaker 95 a 12-year-old fat kid in a jersey.

Speaker 65 He was just going nuts for the game.

Speaker 18 This is great.

Speaker 48 Great podcasting.

Speaker 125 All right. Numbers.

Speaker 68 11. 3.

Speaker 139 33. 89.

Speaker 139 21.

Speaker 113 It's meme said it, so no.

Speaker 79 Can I change my number? What did meme say? Can I change my number?

Speaker 158 Yeah.

Speaker 87 81.

Nope.

Speaker 164 Have you ever got it? Guess it by yourself, PFT?

Speaker 81 Look at PFT. Look at.

Speaker 3 Yeah, but that's bullshit. That's

Speaker 65 your job.

Speaker 18 Yes, he has.

Speaker 12 Yes, he's gotten it.

Speaker 73 He has gotten it.

Speaker 3 I have it before. He's won.
And also, the Commanders beat the Eagles today, so it's a good day. That's true.

Speaker 91 They did. Yeah.

Speaker 3 Max, congrats. You won the National Tourism.
