Speaker 16 Today is Monday, December 9th, week

Speaker 48 14.

Speaker 48 What?

Speaker 48 Whoop!

Speaker 49 They're not gonna get him.

Speaker 49 Some spread.

Speaker 50 We start in Minnesota where Sam Hay Darnold played like a real football head, or as we should call him, Mr.

Speaker 42 Wynn.

Speaker 55 The announcers started calling Darnold Tyreek Hill with how many times he looked to add a son after Jordan scored three times on Sundays.

Speaker 56 Shirk Shirk responsibilities cousins look like Mincy out there sharing two bad picks and refusing to go anywhere but south as it may be time Atlanta to take out their penis Vikings 42 Falcons 21

Speaker 61 We go to Nashville, Tennessee, where yesterday someone macked out my mural. That type of energy will make the Jags move to Europe.

Speaker 61 With no Ariana blonde, Trevor Lawrence, the Jags were relying on their ground game saying, take you next.

Speaker 61 Bigsby, Tony Hinchcliffe Pollard yet again roasted a giant pile of garbage known as the Jaguars D, while kicker Nick fulked around and had a triple-double, making both field goals.

Speaker 62 Doug Skeeterson keeps edging, delaying the firing that will never come.

Speaker 61 Meanwhile, Brian Callahan Job is struggling to maintain a firm grip, leaving many Titans fans wondering if they could just do a better job themselves. Jaguars 10, Titans 6.

Speaker 50 The Jaguars.

Speaker 33 Huh? Huh? Huh?

Speaker 63 Winning streak and fly?

Speaker 48 Down to Tampa, where Patty Cake Patty Cake Baker's men bake me a Cade as fast as you can.

Speaker 54 Throw it and toss it and run it with Bucky.

Speaker 56 Put it in the oven for ChB and me. The Bucks seemed to be playing like there was bad blood against AIDS in O'Connell and were all smiles going giving HIVs.

Speaker 69 I'm sorry, that was Roman numerals.

Speaker 56 High fives on the sidelines. Desmond Ritter came on in relief, and the only thing Desmond does is ridden your team a chance of ever winning a football game again.

Speaker 65 Nice guy, though. Hurdy's a really nice guy.
Very nice guy.

Speaker 13 Very nice guy.

Speaker 56 Bucs 28.

Speaker 70 Raiders 13.

Speaker 24 And we're staying in the state of Florida over to means.

Speaker 71 In Miami, this just in. Tyreek Hill has another BM, not Baby Mama, the dump he just left on the Jets.
The Dolphins took a big number two on the Jets, beating them in OT 32-26.

Speaker 72 Anders Carlson was a workaholic with four field goals and two extra points.

Speaker 71 Aaron Kenny Rogers didn't play like a chicken today and got no help from running back. Brandon Dew, the chickens have large allens

Speaker 74 who looked anything but dynamite.

Speaker 48 They need a win.

Speaker 76 Stop doing this voice.

Speaker 48 They need a win next week to prevent being the Rizzlers' height.

Speaker 77 3-11.

Speaker 78 Dolphins 3-2, Jets 26.

Speaker 79 Oh, the Rizzler, my favorite guy in the world.

Speaker 56 Okay, we head over to Max Carolina and Philadelphia.

Speaker 70 We head to Philly where Bryce Neal Young was saying, There's a lot of people saying we won't touch the spread. Don't feel like the Giants, but I am to them.

Speaker 70 So I try to forget it any way I can.

Speaker 70 Keep on rocking in the green words.

Speaker 50 He found it.

Speaker 15 He found it.

Speaker 70 And rock they did for most of this game, largely in part to Jake Malasak Elliott, who had fans wondering, what is going on with NFL kickers?

Speaker 70 Trailing by six, the Panthers had a chance to take the lead late in the fourth, but Xavier Goose Eggette ended with a zero in the touchdown department after dropping the game-winning score.

Speaker 83 Eagles 22, Panthers 16.

Speaker 61 We go down to Glendale, where the Cardinals dressed in all black and laid in wait for the Seattle CEO Hawks.

Speaker 61 But Carler Murray misfired twice early, and Zach Chardonnay made them whine as he barreled in for a couple six-pointers. Michael Jackson Smith and Jigba was singing, Billy Geno's not my lover.

Speaker 61 He just a guy who once got punched in the jaw, but he likes throwing me the ball. Adding a score as the Seahawks escape like smooth criminals with a division win.
Seahawks 30.

Speaker 49 Cardinals 18.

Speaker 56 Staying out west to San Francisco, where Clock Bertie looked like Big Ben, letting the Bears know what time it was, saying this is our game to lose, and all the Bears could do was watch.

Speaker 56 Clock Birdie also looked like Big Ben, stalling in the pocket until he got exactly what he wanted. George Lucas Kittle almost Obi-Wan this game solo, mauling all over Soft Bears Bears defense.

Speaker 56 For those asking if the Niners are still good, yo

Speaker 80 duh.

Speaker 48 Wow, Caleb Williams couldn't compose a score.

Speaker 75 If you're asking what Brown can do for you, well, the answer is not win a football game as the Bears lose again.

Speaker 68 Niners 38, Bears 13.

Speaker 69 For the game of the day, Henry Lockwood was on the scene.

Speaker 89 Yes, in Los Angeles.

Speaker 89 Kyron Sanat Williams said, thank you, Bills, for the seven gifted points as he crossed over the goal line to get the scoring started.

Speaker 89 Josh Allen Ginsburg punched in a one-yarder and then howooed at the hostile Rams crowd. In the second quarter, the Bills drop back to punt and is blocked and scooped up by Hunter S.

Speaker 90 Thompson Long.

Speaker 89 And he was gonzo into the end zone for another touchdown. Pookie Hoctua was pulling the rug from under the Bills D all day to the tune of 162 yards and two scores.

Speaker 89 As the Bills tried to mount a comeback, return of the Mac Collins caught a a td as did khalil shakiras whose hips did not lie however the bills defense did and they fall in a shootout 44-42.

Speaker 33 great job hang was that a was that a poetry reference henry multiple boom wow i didn't know you were that educated i'm literate

Speaker 93 Standing on the corner, Jameis Winston, Cuyahoga.

Speaker 5 Such a fine sight to see.

Speaker 93 you're not to shove thank god Watson's not allowed to wave a towel terribly

Speaker 50 come on tony could dare you explode me

Speaker 93 the Steelers put some fries on your bologna

Speaker 94 Steelers 27 Browns 14 and that is the fastest two minutes for week 14 in the NFL's give Give it up for Chicago.

Speaker 97 Okay, week 14 in the books, PFT.

Speaker 100 We had not the most exciting early slate of games, but it all made up for it with the Bills Rams game in the afternoon.

Speaker 76 One of the best games of the year. But

Speaker 45 what I was going to say was we made it.

Speaker 105 All bye weeks are done.

Speaker 106 Yep. We finally did it.

Speaker 1 We're in the home stretch, so we will hopefully not have another Sunday like this where it's like, there were multiple games that I was not watching whatsoever.

Speaker 76 There were teams also that I missed.

Speaker 72 Yeah. There were big hole.

Speaker 76 Like, I miss watching Jaden play football. Yeah.
That's what I realized today.

Speaker 110 You missed, who else was on by?

Speaker 111 Ravens. The Ravens are a big hole.

Speaker 50 Big hole. Big hole.
Big hole.

Speaker 76 Gaping hole with the Ravens.

Speaker 112 Gaping hole from the Ravens. The Colts.

Speaker 114 Colts, Anthony Richardson.

Speaker 76 Yeah, I missed him. Doing something.
Doing something crazy.

Speaker 6 Something crazy and having a discourse about it.

Speaker 102 But we did have a couple good games early.

Speaker 76 Patriots. I missed them.
Yeah.

Speaker 77 And no Bo. Yeah.

Speaker 79 No Bo. We had no Bow this time.
I forgot about Bo.

Speaker 25 Yeah.

Speaker 65 Should never forget about Bo.

Speaker 51 We did have, though,

Speaker 110 I walked away from Sunday being like, I think there are two teams that I'm not respecting enough, and we'll start with the first one.

Speaker 20 Vikings 42, Falcons 21.

Speaker 16 This was the Sam Darnold show, and Jordan Addison and Justin Jefferson.

Speaker 118 But holy shit, Sam Darnold was 22 for 28, 347 yards, five touchdowns, and the Vikings.

Speaker 20 Why aren't we talking about the Vikings like the Eagles and the Lions?

Speaker 66 I know that they have a couple tough games coming up, but damn, the Vikings are good.

Speaker 76 So it's funny you brought that up, Biquet, because I pulled up the Vikings schedule here. Uh, and so they've got the Bears, yeah, win for them, the Seahawks, yeah, the Packers, and the Lions.

Speaker 76 The last two weeks are going to be very, very interesting, at least.

Speaker 34 Yeah, they're going to find out what they really are, but the Vikings are all they do is just keep winning.

Speaker 16 They had that two-game losing streak where they lost the Lions, then lost to the Rams with the Sam Darnold face mask call, but they're just really, really good.

Speaker 123 And I know this was a close game for a while, and then Ray Ray McLeod fumbled and it basically just opened up wide.

Speaker 5 But the Sam Darnold is awesome.

Speaker 125 Sam Darnold,

Speaker 126 are we at the point where the Vikings should consider re-signing Sam Darnold?

Speaker 76 Yes, you probably should. Because JJ's probably good, but you don't know.
But we know that Sam's good.

Speaker 58 Sam Darnold's also only 27 years old.

Speaker 76 We know that Sam is good. Yeah,

Speaker 50 he was really good today.

Speaker 76 I don't want to hear anybody waiting for Sam Darnold to turn back into a pumpkin.

Speaker 106 He might.

Speaker 76 He's turning into pumpkin spice.

Speaker 76 It's DeSamber. Yeah.

Speaker 127 He's get on board.

Speaker 128 Like those, I thought they were, I thought it was replays when we were watching because it was, it just, there was multiple times where he would scramble around and then hit Jordan Addison or Justin Jefferson just standing by themselves 50 yards down the field.

Speaker 76 The Vikings have achieved like a full circle thing where Justin Jefferson, amazing receiver. And we all know that.
He's so like physically dominant that you have to put like two guys on him.

Speaker 76 And then Jordan Addison, he started to put up so many numbers that people were like, oh, fuck, we got to cover Jordan Addison. How do we do this? And guess what? Jefferson is back open now.
Yes.

Speaker 87 Yeah.

Speaker 114 That was, they basically were switching back and forth.

Speaker 44 They were doing the Ray Allen tweet with the receivers.

Speaker 76 They were. There was one play in particular where I think it was Jefferson had his hand up after like he was like six yards downfield, kept his hand up for about 10 seconds to throw him the damn ball.

Speaker 76 Yeah. Then the Falcons defensive back just falls down.
Jefferson catches it, walks into the end zone. They did the white girls dance on him.
Yeah. They got pretty disrespectful.

Speaker 115 Well, they scored so many times.

Speaker 34 They had to, like, they got deep.

Speaker 17 Jordan Addison scored three times.

Speaker 34 Justin Jefferson scored twice.

Speaker 133 I feel like both those guys, once you get to your third touchdown, you're deep in your bag of celebrations.

Speaker 76 Yeah, but I'm impressed that they had that many celebrations choreographed ready to go.

Speaker 134 Yeah, well, it was, I just think the Vikings are surging at the right time.

Speaker 108 This also was, I don't think there's bad blood with Vikings fans and Kirk Cousins, but it had to feel good knowing that Sam Darnold had his best game of his career in front of Kirk Cousins, who left the franchise last year or this offseason.

Speaker 16 And Sam Darnold in his last four games is 11 touchdowns, zero interceptions.

Speaker 110 Kirk Cousins is zero touchdowns, eight interceptions.

Speaker 31 He looks like he went back into a pumpkin.

Speaker 47 It is.

Speaker 76 Not a lot of quarterbacks have gone four weeks with zero touchdowns. It's bad.

Speaker 84 And it wasn't all Kirk Cousins' fault because they were...

Speaker 50 Well, no, I mean,

Speaker 44 the Falcons' defense was just letting guys run wide open.

Speaker 100 Kirk Cousins didn't play well.

Speaker 87 That

Speaker 38 interception, that one-handed interception in the end zone by the Vikings was so sick.

Speaker 76 That was a good pick. I think Kirk said after the game that it was, at one point it was tied 21-21.
And then I think it might have been.

Speaker 65 I think that was the Raymond McLeod.

Speaker 76 Yeah, then the next time he touched the ball, I think they were down 14. Yeah.

Speaker 10 Yeah.

Speaker 44 Yeah, I think the Vikings scored, then kicked off, then the Raymond McLeod, then it just the whole game got away from them.

Speaker 76 So there is a little bit of bad blood there because they booed him.

Speaker 50 Yeah.

Speaker 76 They greeted Kirk Cousins with booze.

Speaker 62 I didn't expect that.

Speaker 76 I personally love to be greeted with booze. Yeah.
But for Kirk, like, it seems a little - I don't know, maybe they don't like the fact that he left. I don't know.

Speaker 76 He could have taken less money and stayed there.

Speaker 1 He was pretty good for a really long time. Maybe it's just like they never got to a Super Bowl.

Speaker 15 Well, I don't know.

Speaker 76 I shouldn't condescend towards Vikings fans because I actually know exactly what they're going through. Because I myself dealt with it for a while post-Kirk Cousins.

Speaker 76 You get frustrated at Kirk for not being a great quarterback. You have him on your team for a while.
He's pretty good. And he's pretty consistent most of the time.

Speaker 76 And then he leaves to take more money somewhere. And you're like, I hate that guy because I feel like I wasted years of potentially good teams.

Speaker 34 But you shouldn't boo in this game because Kirk Cousins helped you win this game.

Speaker 133 Sam Darnold is significantly better at this point of his career than Kirk Cousins is.

Speaker 139 Correct.

Speaker 76 The best revenge is living well.

Speaker 47 Yeah, so it was, when I say it wasn't all Kirk Cousins' fault, he did not play well.

Speaker 27 He has not played well in the last four games, but the Falcons did have 127 yards of

Speaker 25 penalties. They had the fumble on the kickoff.

Speaker 17 They also just let Jordan Addison and Justin Jefferson run wild.

Speaker 121 The Falcons are,

Speaker 16 we said on Friday, we're going to be doing this show on Monday, and it's going to be the Bucs in first place in the NFC South, and that's exactly what happened.

Speaker 100 And the Falcons are, it just feels like it's all falling apart at the end here.

Speaker 27 And Michael Penix?

Speaker 76 It might be Pennix time.

Speaker 59 It might be Pennex time.

Speaker 103 You drafted him.

Speaker 52 Why wouldn't you get him a little like

Speaker 76 in a weird way? That might have been a great move on draft night. We'll see what happens.

Speaker 76 But the way that Kirk's playing, having a first-round pick that you can go to is a luxury that I think a lot of teams don't have.

Speaker 76 He's at least a spark, he's something new.

Speaker 5 Well, and if the season is - I mean, they still have the tiebreaker against the Bucs, and their schedule is not super, super hard.

Speaker 39 Their hardest game is against the Commanders.

Speaker 129 They play the Raiders and Giants next.

Speaker 106 But

Speaker 1 if your season's over, you might as well get Michael Pennix in.

Speaker 16 Yeah. You got to get him some starts.

Speaker 76 So then the Vikings have - they don't really have a decision to make this offseason because you kind of have to keep Kirk Cousins right now. You mean the Falcons? Start of the Falcons.

Speaker 52 Yes, because the Vikings do have a decision to make.

Speaker 76 You have a big decision to make. But the Falcons kind of have

Speaker 76 their hands tied in a way.

Speaker 107 I don't know. I always know the NFL salaries and contracts are fake.

Speaker 76 Cousins' cap hit next year. His salary is pretty much guaranteed for two seasons.
Got it. So if you cut him this offseason, you're going to owe him like $50 million against the caps.
Got it.

Speaker 76 The Falcons don't have a lot of cap room to work with.

Speaker 76 The only thing you can try maybe to work out, but he probably has no trade clause, is a trade with another team that is in a similar situation with a quarterback that they're paying way too much guaranteed money to.

Speaker 76 Yeah.

Speaker 76 The Browns. Yeah.

Speaker 76 That would be interesting. That would be interesting.
That would be very interesting. I think that they both probably have no trade clauses.

Speaker 76 But didn't Deshaun, he was like thinking about going to the Falcons? I think so. I just don't think Kirk would go to Cleveland.

Speaker 69 I don't think that makes sense. And also, Cleveland's spoken for.

Speaker 75 Yes.

Speaker 48 Jameis is going to be there, and he's going to get a new young quarterback.

Speaker 36 They're going to draft one.

Speaker 116 He's going to train him.

Speaker 58 He's going to keep the Jameis flame going forever.

Speaker 27 But yeah, I feel like the clock is ticking now with Kirk Cousins.

Speaker 146 Very nice guy, but especially if the season, like, what are they lost four in a row, and it feels like they have no momentum whatsoever.

Speaker 34 This was why last week was actually the game that I was like, that had to be the most disappointing game because their defense played so well last week against the Chargers, and then you went back to being the Falcons' defense this week.

Speaker 42 And now, yeah,

Speaker 92 throwing Michael Pennix.

Speaker 69 Yeah, throwing Michael Pennix.

Speaker 76 Do you think Cousins is hurt?

Speaker 104 He might be.

Speaker 50 He could just be older.

Speaker 76 He looks uncomfortable. Yeah.
He looks very uncomfortable in the pocket.

Speaker 50 Also, playing Brian Floor's defense is not fun.

Speaker 76 That's true. Do you think that some teams, like, do you think the Falcons blitzed more today because they were playing against

Speaker 76 that defense? Yeah. That blitzes you more? Yeah.
Some of their coordinators like, if you're going to, I'm going to blitz you too.

Speaker 39 Yeah,

Speaker 53 let's do a nuclear arms race of blitzes.

Speaker 76 And you should not blitz Sam Darnold. Sam Darnold is really good against the Blitz.

Speaker 85 And they're like, hey, you call off the Blitz, we'll call off the Blitz.

Speaker 76 Yeah, exactly.

Speaker 121 Gentleman's game.

Speaker 138 No more blitzes.

Speaker 76 You get caught into playing their game. Yeah.

Speaker 125 Yeah, no,

Speaker 125 Sam Durtle.

Speaker 149 That was the best game of his career.

Speaker 40 He's 27 years old.

Speaker 37 Is it crazy to watch this, memes?

Speaker 150 Yeah, it's wild. Should have been on the Jets, but

Speaker 63 on the Purple Pasture.

Speaker 76 Oh, yeah, but to your original point, I was going to say, I feel like the Vikings are right there, like second-tier NFC.

Speaker 151 Yeah, and I don't know.

Speaker 22 I mean, they'll prove it when they play the Lions and the Packers.

Speaker 122 Like, if they beat the Lions and the Packers, why aren't they first-tier?

Speaker 110 Yeah, they could be.

Speaker 127 Yeah.

Speaker 24 So it's, I mean, they played the Lions very close.

Speaker 7 They've already beaten the Packers.

Speaker 76 They beat the Eagles, too.

Speaker 143 In the preseason.

Speaker 122 In the preseason.

Speaker 130 Max is getting upset there. He's like, no way.

Speaker 76 Max, just so you know, the last minute of part of my take has been me and Big Cat subtly trolling you, hoping that you'll lose your shit.

Speaker 90 Nope.

Speaker 80 I think the Vikings are really good.

Speaker 120 They are.

Speaker 77 Yeah, they're good.

Speaker 9 The Vikings looked different this week, I thought. I thought this was like an eye-opening week for them.

Speaker 77 Correct.

Speaker 50 Correct. I was like, this is...

Speaker 9 I thought they were frauds, and I'm like,

Speaker 9 they're legit.

Speaker 152 Yeah, right.

Speaker 103 Because I don't know, like, no matter how good your defense is, having to cover their weapons is a matchup nightmare.

Speaker 60 Like, there's just no, there's, they're so goddamn good.

Speaker 5 And it looks like the Vikings, I mean, they're 11-2 right now.

Speaker 100 It feels like they're,

Speaker 5 I mean, unless they can beat the Packers and the Lions, they're going to be in that fifth seed and they're going to be a team that no one wants to play.

Speaker 76 Well, so they beat the Packers 31-29. They lost to the Lions 31-29.
Yeah.

Speaker 79 They're right in there.

Speaker 53 The Packers game was the one where Jordan Love was terrible in the first half and then caught fire.

Speaker 43 And the Lions game was back and forth.

Speaker 23 Um,

Speaker 106 yeah,

Speaker 144 I'm a believer in the Vikings.

Speaker 18 I feel like the NFC playoffs, I've been thinking of it as like a two-team race, and we'll actually get to another team, the Seahawks, where it's like there are five teams now in the NFC playoffs where I'm like, I don't know, man, they're playing great ball right now.

Speaker 76 Yeah, Kevin O'Connell, maybe coach of the year, he's in the discussion.

Speaker 13 Yeah, absolutely, 100%, 100%.

Speaker 16 Um, okay, next up, Steelers-Browns, Steelers, 27, Browns, 14.

Speaker 6 The Steelers'

Speaker 16 regular season home game streak against the Browns can now officially drink.

Speaker 37 It's 21 years since the Browns have beaten the Steelers in the regular season in Pittsburgh.

Speaker 122 Also, the Browns have not swept the Steelers since 1988.

Speaker 76 Yeah, I saw the 88 thing. That's a rough one.
But you did win that playoff game. I know it was COVID.
Yeah. But you'll always have that

Speaker 50 absolutely counts.

Speaker 76 We got a little bad Jameis today.

Speaker 45 Yeah, I'd say so. Yeah.

Speaker 76 My problem with Jameis' first interception today wasn't that it was thrown to a defensive tackle. It wasn't that it was a misguided throw, ill-advised throw.
It wasn't a fun Jameis interception. No.

Speaker 76 I get bummed out when I see boring Jameis Winston dull interceptions.

Speaker 16 He just missed that the lineman slipped there, you know, slipped underneath and was standing right there for it.

Speaker 76 Yeah, we did, however, get some Kadarius Tony slapstick comedy today. Oh, my God.
So he muffed a punt at the very end, just kind of dropped it and fell down.

Speaker 76 But the punt that he had before that where he caught it successfully and then after the whistle just threw the ball at the Steelers and got a penalty.

Speaker 76 Like he is the best at actively making your team lose games.

Speaker 106 He has to be the record in negative EPA.

Speaker 76 Negative war. Yeah.

Speaker 117 When the ball went just right through his hands for the punt, we all were like, wait, was that Kadarius Toney?

Speaker 68 What the fuck?

Speaker 101 He is, yeah, he's not good, and the Browns had him out there.

Speaker 44 The Browns also have maybe the worst kicker in the league because I feel like Hopkins just misses a kick every single week.

Speaker 155 And

Speaker 41 the Browns are bad, but I walked away from this game. The Steelers, no George Pickens.

Speaker 105 Not as fun without George Pickens.

Speaker 16 Although Pat Fryermuth did punt a ball into the stands, and he said someone had to get fined with George out.

Speaker 76 Yeah, pretty. He did that one for George.
He's like pulling one out, yeah.

Speaker 53 Yeah, but the Steelers' defense showed why they're one of the best units in football.

Speaker 40 And Russ, who was not great in the first half, kind of righted it in the second half, got Mike Williams going.

Speaker 106 Yeah,

Speaker 111 I'm ready for the Steelers.

Speaker 50 Like, Steelers are going to be a really tough, because I'm always thinking the old Russ is going to, not old, old Russ, but like Broncos Russ is going to show up.

Speaker 6 Yeah. It might just be dead.

Speaker 63 He might just be old Russ, Seahawks Russ.

Speaker 76 He's playing with a lot more confidence. Like with the way that he's moving around the pocket, he's not really thinking.
He's just going. Yeah.
Which is good, Russ.

Speaker 76 And then the moon balls are back for sure.

Speaker 76 The Steelers' defense was awesome today. First play of the game.
The Browns ran the play where they don't block TJ Watt, and they hope that he's not fast enough to get to the ball carrier.

Speaker 76 It happens every week.

Speaker 151 I don't know.

Speaker 76 I still have no idea how teams try to do this and think they can get away with it.

Speaker 100 Yeah, they also did the play where they didn't block Alex Highsmith multiple times.

Speaker 131 Yeah, that one too.

Speaker 34 It was just the Steelers' defense was all over Jameis. And by the way, Jameis, I think God answered his prayers because the interception he did throw did not result in a pick six.

Speaker 63 He threw two.

Speaker 7 Neither of them brought back

Speaker 69 for a touchdown.

Speaker 76 Delivered from pick sixes.

Speaker 5 Delivered from pick sixes.

Speaker 34 He's good. I do want Jameis to

Speaker 53 stick around in Cleveland.

Speaker 3 I want them to draft a quarterback.

Speaker 98 I want him to have like a new puppy that he can train and maybe get some life back into Jameis.

Speaker 39 I want that.

Speaker 76 What about Shadur Sanders to the Browns?

Speaker 17 There's no way that

Speaker 16 Deion Sanders will let Shadur Sanders go to the Browns.

Speaker 76 And then Jameis gets moved. Then they bring Deion up to be co-head coach of Kevin, and then they put Jameis at offensive coordinator in the year.

Speaker 133 Yeah, there's 0% chance of Shadora Sanders.

Speaker 138 By the way, I have a tweet because everyone, you know, says that Jameis had a bad game, you know, not great.

Speaker 55 I just want to throw this out there.

Speaker 6 Jameis Winston, 45.

Speaker 146 I don't know what that is.

Speaker 64 I don't know what the 45 is.

Speaker 40 So 240 yards, two touchdowns, two interceptions, loss versus an elite defense.

Speaker 53 People say bum can't trust him.

Speaker 34 Kyler had 275 yards, two touchdowns, touchdowns, two interceptions, loss, but he got paid.

Speaker 40 Cousins, 344 yards, zero touchdowns, two interceptions, loss, also paid.

Speaker 53 Bryce, 220 yards, one touchdown, one interception.

Speaker 16 He's been rejuvenated.

Speaker 133 Jameis is never judged versus Piers, but versus Perfection, so he can be denigrated.

Speaker 131 There you go. That's how you get it.
That's how it goes.

Speaker 92 Jameis one of one.

Speaker 76 That's how it goes. Let the record show.
Jameis did not have the worst week of any quarterback. Yeah.

Speaker 86 Yeah. Yet again.

Speaker 137 Bum can't trust him while everyone else gets paid.

Speaker 76 So now the Steelers are in a two-game lead in that division, right? They got 10 wins. Ravens have eight.

Speaker 66 And they got the big game coming up next weekend.

Speaker 76 The big game.

Speaker 18 The big game against the Eagles, right?

Speaker 76 The Battle of Pennsylvania. Yeah.

Speaker 45 The Steels.

Speaker 52 That's going to be a...

Speaker 44 We'll find out if the Eagles are for real.

Speaker 76 Yeah. Game.
If they're on the Vikings level yet.

Speaker 79 Yeah.

Speaker 121 Yeah.

Speaker 69 But I am a full believer in Russ.

Speaker 45 It's crazy to say.

Speaker 44 I never thought I'd be back here.

Speaker 76 What is holding you back from fully believing in the Steelers?

Speaker 62 Because I believed in them for about a month. I'm saying I do.

Speaker 76 Is there anything, though, like if you were to nitpick them in the playoffs? Yeah, it's Russ. It's Russ.
Yeah.

Speaker 59 It's Russ

Speaker 122 ending up being, you know, like the pressure gets to him and he takes sacks and it's Russ.

Speaker 59 But I mean, their defense has always been incredible.

Speaker 76 If anybody makes the moment too big, it could be Russ. Yeah, and that's it.

Speaker 86 That's the only hiccup.

Speaker 37 Everything else, and obviously they need George Pickens back because their offense is so much more fun with him.

Speaker 76 Fun for us, although Tomlin was like pretty feisty after the game. He's like, I've been telling you guys that this offense is good even without Pickens.

Speaker 50 I mean, Mike Williams got going.

Speaker 86 Yeah.

Speaker 2 He made a sick catch.

Speaker 148 Okay.

Speaker 129 Next up, we have Eagles 22, Panthers 16.

Speaker 68 Survive in advance. Yep.

Speaker 44 The Eagles survive in advance.

Speaker 5 Almost lost the game.

Speaker 76 Xavier Leggett dropped a touchdown catch.

Speaker 53 Bryce Young outplayed Jalen Hurts.

Speaker 157 That's what people are saying.

Speaker 76 The Eagles kind of played down to their competition. Yeah.

Speaker 111 The Eagles should have...

Speaker 53 It felt like they should have won by more just because Saquon was like every time they handed him the ball, he would rip off 10 yards.

Speaker 20 But they were trying to get the passing offense going, and now we have A.J.

Speaker 37 Brown saying he was asked afterward what the issue is. He said the passing.

Speaker 76 Passing.

Speaker 76 He didn't say the passing game.

Speaker 131 He didn't say offense.

Speaker 161 He didn't say passing.

Speaker 76 He didn't say the receiving. He said passing.
He said the passing.

Speaker 76 I do want to just clarify something I said earlier about them playing down to their competition. I actually don't think that's the case.
I think the Panthers might just be kind of okay.

Speaker 133 No, the Panthers' last five games are win-win, lost by three to the Chiefs, division leader, lost by three to the Bucs, division leader, lost by six to the Eagles, division leader.

Speaker 87 The Panthers are playing great ball.

Speaker 76 They can play a one-score game against anybody in the league.

Speaker 50 Yeah.

Speaker 120 No,

Speaker 114 that was an impressive performance from Bryce Young.

Speaker 65 I do think he is the quarterback of the future now for the Panthers, which is awesome because it looked like one and seven, it looked like everything was lost.

Speaker 53 Now you not only have a quarterback, but you have a coach in Dave Canalis who's coaching them up.

Speaker 20 They're not a great roster, and he's staying with all these teams that are going to be playoff teams.

Speaker 40 So, yeah, I'm a believer in this Panthers team going forward with Bryce Young, which is crazy to say.

Speaker 56 But the Eagles, they're fine.

Speaker 76 There's another issue.

Speaker 5 They're fine, but the passing, that A.J.

Speaker 59 Brown, you would rather not have A.J.

Speaker 25 Brown kind of call out Jill.

Speaker 76 The passing and the kicking.

Speaker 129 And the kicking. Jake Elliott has not made a 50-yard field goal this year.

Speaker 9 Kicking is a major, major problem right now.

Speaker 69 0 for 5 on kicks over the 10.

Speaker 31 The panic button is officially.

Speaker 114 They were in a spot to kick a 57-yarder to make the game 6-9 to score a game.

Speaker 54 And they chose not to.

Speaker 9 Last year,

Speaker 9 you make that decision a thousand times out of a thousand.

Speaker 149 It's automatic.

Speaker 9 There was no question about it last year.

Speaker 9 Now it's like you can't trust them to do anything.

Speaker 76 So, Max, you've been trying to line things up just perfectly going into next week. You've been thinking about the Steelers game for a while.

Speaker 76 I would say that winning a close one that you could have lost at the end, pretty good way to head into the Steelers matchup.

Speaker 9 Yeah, I mean, the Steelers game is big.

Speaker 9 It's more so big just because of

Speaker 9 the Barstall aspect of it, though. Like, it's a big game, but it's an AFC team.

Speaker 36 But you're trying to get the ones in.

Speaker 63 You're trying to make it. Correct.
Correct.

Speaker 9 But if, like,

Speaker 9 it's

Speaker 9 not as important as the other three games going forward because it's an AFC game and the tiebreaker is.

Speaker 76 Every game should be important.

Speaker 9 Every game is important. This Panthers game was important.
I said that this game was funky, and I thought it was going to be an NFL Makes No Sense game.

Speaker 60 Yes.

Speaker 149 Basically, it was. It was.

Speaker 51 I mean, Xavier Legette catches that ball, although you were saying, we're fine, we're fine, we're fine.

Speaker 123 Well,

Speaker 9 there's still 45 seconds of three timeouts.

Speaker 9 Jake Elliott.

Speaker 112 Jake Elliott, yeah.

Speaker 86 Jake Elliott.

Speaker 56 So are you concerned at all, though, about A.J.

Speaker 114 Brown? Because that feels concerning. But A.J.

Speaker 162 Brown does that shit every other week.

Speaker 141 Are you not concerned?

Speaker 9 I guess. But not really, because that's just kind of the way A.J.
is. He doesn't.

Speaker 9 We've talked about that with good receivers is that you want a little bit of

Speaker 9 a thing because he didn't catch a lot of balls. I'm sure if he caught six balls

Speaker 9 or if he caught the Devontae Smith touchdown, he doesn't say it.

Speaker 2 Jalen Hurts had a couple weird plays.

Speaker 42 That one where he just slid for like a nine-yard loss when he could have thrown it away.

Speaker 53 That one was bizarre.

Speaker 9 That looked like he got hurt. It was like one of those plays where it looked like he got hurt.

Speaker 76 Yeah, he does that from time to time. He runs slowly at a diagonal and then just lays down.

Speaker 9 That was weird.

Speaker 128 And the other thing that would be concerning is the Eagles now, 13 games, 10 of them, they've been shut out in the first quarter.

Speaker 9 It's about how you finish, not how you start.

Speaker 109 Starting fast, though, in the playoffs is very important.

Speaker 9 Not if you can finish strong.

Speaker 44 But if you get in a hole against a playoff team, that could be a problem.

Speaker 9 But if you can come back.

Speaker 3 That's true, you could come back.

Speaker 76 But what if you get in a hole early and then you can't come back?

Speaker 11 And that's what happens.

Speaker 9 That's what happens to the Eagles every game.

Speaker 76 But then you don't get the running game going against a good team.

Speaker 9 I mean, that's what we've done.

Speaker 109 Would you rather start slow or start fast?

Speaker 11 I would rather start fast and then finish fast.

Speaker 92 Okay.

Speaker 9 If I had the choice between starting fast and finishing fast, I would choose finishing fast.

Speaker 122 You like to finish fast.

Speaker 9 I love to finish fast.

Speaker 50 Yeah, I think we all do.

Speaker 92 I'm so good at finishing fast.

Speaker 53 It's actually one of my strengths.

Speaker 66 One of the only ones.

Speaker 33 The yeah, A.J.

Speaker 114 Brown.

Speaker 5 So here's a fun stat.

Speaker 138 Saquon Barkley, he's now 94 yards a game, so four games left, 94 yards a game away from 2,000.

Speaker 42 He also has the Eagles record in rushing yards in a season, passing LaShawn McCoy.

Speaker 34 And the craziest thing is that was Lane Johnson's rookie year.

Speaker 141 So Lane Johnson has been part of both LaShawn McCoy's previous record, Eagles

Speaker 16 single-season record, and now Saquon Barkley's single-season record.

Speaker 128 Lane Johnson's the best.

Speaker 76 So this would be a good time just to remind everybody,

Speaker 76 O.J. Simpson, much better football player than human being.

Speaker 76 Through 14 games, he had 2,003 yards. Wow.
Pretty crazy season. Wow.
Say what you want about the guy. Different league, though.
He could run with a football.

Speaker 25 He could run with the football.

Speaker 132 Did you, I heard you guys saying

Speaker 120 Guignanimo Bay, he wore the shirt today.

Speaker 10 Yeah.

Speaker 94 Oh, okay.

Speaker 9 I don't know if that was our shirt.

Speaker 57 No, I don't think it's our shirt.

Speaker 50 Do we make them?

Speaker 9 I have

Speaker 9 prints of them.

Speaker 50 Oh, you didn't make them?

Speaker 76 Oh, no. Was it Quintanamo Bay?

Speaker 17 Yeah, it was Quintanamo Bay.

Speaker 11 No, ours is

Speaker 76 San Quinyan. Yeah, San Quinyan.

Speaker 88 San Quinian, that's right. Yeah.

Speaker 76 That's right. Different prison.
Yeah.

Speaker 122 He's got that one.

Speaker 76 Why didn't you...

Speaker 155 You got to put him up.

Speaker 9 I think it was like a...

Speaker 76 Didn't he want to be associated with the prison?

Speaker 50 He's associating himself with the prison.

Speaker 76 No, I'm saying, like, we didn't.

Speaker 164 Oh.

Speaker 10 Yeah.

Speaker 112 But now that he did. He did it, yeah.

Speaker 50 Yeah.

Speaker 76 Maybe we can. But he's also kind of outed himself as being

Speaker 76 a Quinnamo Bay guy.

Speaker 112 No, no, no, no. We did put it up with him.

Speaker 141 Oh, San Quiny.

Speaker 9 San Quinyan. San Quinyan is alive in the Barstow store.

Speaker 73 Hank, you weren't here for it, but Max was getting very upset at me in PFT.

Speaker 92 Yes.

Speaker 91 Screaming at us.

Speaker 91 You guys are just trolls.

Speaker 62 I was just saying, oh, no.

Speaker 75 Yeah, we said. After every play, oh, no.

Speaker 76 There was a lot of oh no's. You guys couldn't get off the field on third down.

Speaker 131 Oh, no.

Speaker 50 Yeah.

Speaker 39 He was screaming at us.

Speaker 19 It was, BFT and A might have turned to to each other being like, this would be

Speaker 7 in a boring early slate.

Speaker 113 This would be pretty good for the pod if they lost to the Panthers.

Speaker 76 It would have been.

Speaker 13 Especially

Speaker 13 in the Lions rant on Thursday.

Speaker 76 Max's Eagles won the game. Yeah.

Speaker 60 Good job, Max's Eagles.

Speaker 9 Sometimes you just got to win a game.

Speaker 76 Bad producing, Max's Eagles.

Speaker 5 Do you know what's a crazy Saquon stat for you, Max?

Speaker 44 Saquon has 14 times this season gone down at the one or the two-yard line.

Speaker 154 And then Jalen Hurts takes his touchdowns.

Speaker 165 It's bullshit.

Speaker 9 He doesn't care.

Speaker 153 He's a good one.

Speaker 1 I care because I had you switch from Tyrone Tracy, which I'm sorry, but you also didn't come with conviction.

Speaker 9 Tyrone Tracy did score.

Speaker 60 I understand. I said sorry.

Speaker 120 That's why I said sorry.

Speaker 66 But you also didn't come with conviction.

Speaker 9 I wasn't sure if you were apologizing to me or if you were apologizing.

Speaker 46 No, I was apologizing to the AWS.

Speaker 106 They did feel like there was, I think there was one play on the two-yard line where instead of doing the tush push, they tried to hand it to Saquon.

Speaker 167 And he didn't get it. And he didn't get it.

Speaker 53 They were trying to get him to the MVP.

Speaker 112 You were right.

Speaker 9 You were right about that.

Speaker 98 But it didn't work out.

Speaker 50 But yeah, he had a lot of people. He's still a great credible.

Speaker 9 I still think he had like.

Speaker 109 124 yards rushing.

Speaker 139 Yeah, he's a beast.

Speaker 122 He's an absolute beast.

Speaker 76 So he has the Eagles' single season record right now, huh?

Speaker 76 I think he's passed Shady.

Speaker 76 I think Shady, what did Shady? What?

Speaker 94 Yeah, that's what I said. Okay,

Speaker 124 LaShawn McCoy. Yeah.

Speaker 94 Yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 140 Lane Johnson was rookie for LaShawn McCoy.

Speaker 167 The Panthers are. Who do the Panthers play?

Speaker 17 They're going to pick someone off.

Speaker 125 They're so fucking close. They're so close.

Speaker 68 They're actually a fun team to watch.

Speaker 19 I don't know if they play anyone.

Speaker 167 No.

Speaker 2 Maybe the.

Speaker 5 Oh, I guess the Panthers could decide the Bucs or the Falcons. They play them in the last two weeks of the season.

Speaker 76 That's going to be interesting.

Speaker 152 They could beat one of those two teams.

Speaker 76 Because you're going to have Falcons fans then probably rooting for the Saints in the last game of the season.

Speaker 58 Because the Saints are playing the Saints are playing the Bucs.

Speaker 62 Yeah.

Speaker 94 Yeah.

Speaker 143 Wow.

Speaker 76 This league.

Speaker 84 Yeah, tangled web.

Speaker 147 Okay, well, let's go to the NFC South.

Speaker 88 Bucs 28, Raiders 13.

Speaker 18 This is a weird game because I feel like the Bucs should have won this game by a lot more.

Speaker 116 They were up 14-0. It looked like they were cruising.

Speaker 16 And then they just let the Raiders hang around, hang around, hang around.

Speaker 2 And they needed some Aiden O'Connell, some Desmond Ritter.

Speaker 115 We're on to Desmond Ritter.

Speaker 76 So Aiden O'Connell, he got injured. I think he got shoved from behind by Levante David.
I couldn't see where he hurt himself, but apparently he got carted off in an aircast. Aircast, yeah.

Speaker 76 So it was bad. Yes.
It was a bad injury. Yes.
So now, Raiders,

Speaker 76 you have to watch Desmond Ritter every Sunday.

Speaker 168 Or

Speaker 68 the guy who they're going to bring up as the backup is going to be Carter Bradley, Gus Bradley's son.

Speaker 5 Oh, how about that? Isn't that crazy?

Speaker 138 I guess that's former Toledo, and I can't remember where else.

Speaker 18 Southern Miss maybe, quarterback?

Speaker 50 But yeah, Carter Bradley.

Speaker 86 I need to see Carter Bradley.

Speaker 50 Sure, yeah.

Speaker 28 I mean, the Raiders starting Gardner Minshew, Desmond Ritter, Aiden O'Connell, and Carter Bradley in one season.

Speaker 105 Just might as well go all the way.

Speaker 76 You couldn't really plan it out that poorly, I don't think.

Speaker 131 No.

Speaker 85 The Raiders do have the number one pick, though, right now.

Speaker 76 And Sheeter Sanders did tweet, thank you God, after the game was over. Yeah.

Speaker 31 What do you say? NAWL DM me, but if they have beat the Chiefs because of their strength of schedule, they'd be like the eighth pick.

Speaker 50 Oh, really?

Speaker 33 Oh, wow.

Speaker 100 So they were lucky to not win that game.

Speaker 18 Yeah.

Speaker 135 It could change the course of their franchise. Yeah.

Speaker 76 Because if you look at tankathon right now, which I am,

Speaker 76 the Las Vegas Raiders picking first, Giants picking second.

Speaker 31 Both need QBs.

Speaker 78 And

Speaker 76 the New England Patriots Patriots picking third.

Speaker 53 Yeah, that was Mac Jones helping you out.

Speaker 135 Mac Jones got a win.

Speaker 34 He helped the Patriots go to third.

Speaker 2 Brock Powers got the tight end record, rookie tight end record for receptions, 87.

Speaker 75 But yeah,

Speaker 5 didn't you guys think the same thing?

Speaker 128 Where it's like, I don't know what it is about the Bucs.

Speaker 111 I think they're good.

Speaker 5 They have moments where they're good.

Speaker 65 And then they have moments where it feels like an entire quarter goes by where Baker Mayfield gets like 15 screens or short passes blocked at the line of scrimmage.

Speaker 76 Yeah, some yeah, they're not super consistent.

Speaker 86 They can run the ball well.

Speaker 76 I think not having Bucky for most of the game was a pretty big problem, too. So people are big mad about Bucky.

Speaker 114 But then Rashad White had a really great game.

Speaker 76 Rashad White had a great game, but people are big mad about Bucky. Wow.
Fantasy players. Oh, really? Big mad about Bucky.

Speaker 90 This is

Speaker 76 yeah, because he was like kind of will he or won't he all week, and then they said he's going to play on Sunday.

Speaker 76 And then after like a quarter and a half, they just took him out for precautionary reasons, they said. And he didn't go back in the game.

Speaker 31 He played. Yeah, he did.

Speaker 36 This is big-time

Speaker 27 fantasy owners scorned season where it's like it gets really, really testy if a guy doesn't play or has a bad game because we're in the playoffs or we're about to be in the playoffs.

Speaker 76 Yeah, there will be, I'm going to go Mike Flory here. There will be lawyers that try to sue teams and sue the NFL for potential damages done to your fantasy team.

Speaker 106 Yeah, I do think the Bucs are going to win the NFC South.

Speaker 107 We've been saying that for a while now.

Speaker 53 I just don't know.

Speaker 124 I don't, if they play the Vikings in the first round, I like the Vikings.

Speaker 150 Yeah.

Speaker 50 Yeah. And I love Baker Brown.

Speaker 157 I think he's banged up, and he also just, yeah, it just seems like there will be times where

Speaker 16 their offense kind of falls asleep.

Speaker 27 They should have, when this game started, I was convinced that they were going to just run over the Raiders because it felt like the Raiders had the quit factor.

Speaker 114 And then it was legitimate, like, it was a legitimate game up until the fourth quarter.

Speaker 76 Yeah, and it is cool seeing Scott Turner and Norv Turner up in the booth for years.

Speaker 21 Hell yeah.

Speaker 1 The big issue is their dogs getting along.

Speaker 84 That's what we learned. Yeah.

Speaker 156 Anecdote that they told us on the broadcast.

Speaker 76 So he moved in with Scott.

Speaker 34 So, yes.

Speaker 141 So Norv and his wife, I guess Scott's mom, moved into their house and everyone's getting along except the dogs.

Speaker 78 Yeah.

Speaker 76 I want to know what kind of dogs they are.

Speaker 44 That can happen from time to time.

Speaker 76 To me, if I'm just guessing based on just coach vibes, I bet they've got small dogs. Yeah.
I think they've got two, maybe even the same type of dog. Yeah.
Like two small, they each have Yorkies.

Speaker 76 Or pugs. Yeah, and they don't, they look a lot alike, but they hate each other.

Speaker 137 And they call them brothers. Yeah.

Speaker 13 And they don't like each other.

Speaker 76 Your brother ate his dinner. Yeah.
Your brother's going to eat your dinner if you don't get in here.

Speaker 115 Oh, no, don't do that to your brother.

Speaker 119 I have nothing else on this game.

Speaker 117 Sincere McCormick, I guess, actually.

Speaker 76 Cool name.

Speaker 3 And he's good for the Raiders are on their

Speaker 105 third and fourth running backs. Yeah.

Speaker 144 And trying to make the whole thing out of, and their third,

Speaker 141 now they're third quarterback.

Speaker 53 So Scott Turner just even getting them to score a point.

Speaker 65 Probably be coordinator of the year.

Speaker 76 That's a massive win.

Speaker 7 If I had had a vote for coordinator of the year, he would win coordinator of the year.

Speaker 76 If you're a Raiders fan, you just want to get to this offseason because you don't know what the hell your franchise is going to do. Yeah.
Like, things are about to get weird in Las Vegas.

Speaker 34 Oh, I do have one other thing. Antonio Pierce, which shouldn't shock you, one of the dumbest challenges of all time.

Speaker 6 That I think it was, can you find it?

Speaker 160 I think it was Jacoby Myers, maybe, on the sideline, where he, I don't even know if he got one foot in.

Speaker 31 Barely got one foot in.

Speaker 62 Barely got one foot in.

Speaker 54 His second foot was like so far out of bounds, it was past the white, like where the chalk ended and like antonio pierce should be a bad challenge guy like just by vibes he's just not going to be a good challenge challenge yeah he's a rage challenger who's just not going to win a lot of challenges and like a football guy challenger uh see see if you can do antonio pierce challenge it was so bad i'm looking i just looked up antonio pierce challenge on google and there's uh four different things that are written about four separate weeks of questionable antonio pierce challenges yeah here it is look at this yeah i remember seeing him.

Speaker 56 He touched his right foot out of bounds before he barely got one toe in.

Speaker 86 I don't even think he got toe in.

Speaker 120 I don't even think he got one foot in.

Speaker 76 I don't think he did.

Speaker 78 One of the worst.

Speaker 76 He was coaching in college.

Speaker 50 Yeah.

Speaker 76 For a long time.

Speaker 101 That was.

Speaker 60 But even in college, that's not a catch.

Speaker 13 I know.

Speaker 50 Because

Speaker 79 he stepped out of bounds before he even got maybe a little bit of a toe in.

Speaker 76 Yeah, in college, I would say that's a terrible challenge. Yeah.

Speaker 111 I just like that

Speaker 101 I like being able to rely on my gut instincts with some of these things.

Speaker 85 And if you had asked me with no data backing it up, like, is Antonio Pierce good to challenge?

Speaker 59 I'd be like, fuck no.

Speaker 48 Yeah, I wonder what he'll do when to try to change the momentum.

Speaker 76 I wonder what the Raiders' system is for challenging these calls. It might just be Antonio Pierce on the sidelines.
Yeah. Like he's listening to the radio call of the game.

Speaker 34 He's just doing, yeah, he's just, he's basically just a gambler where he's like, please, maybe this will hit.

Speaker 76 Might be Mark Davis up in the booth.

Speaker 42 That was no different than doing a 15-team parlay. No.

Speaker 27 Challenging that play.

Speaker 76 There's just 0% challenge. I was hoping that the refs would make a historic mistake.

Speaker 75 Yeah,

Speaker 86 the refs would be like, you know what?

Speaker 20 Fuck it.

Speaker 79 We feel bad for how your season's going.

Speaker 6 Okay, before we get to the other three games,

Speaker 87 let's do a couple ads.

Speaker 169 Whether I'm hosting game day at my place or taking my talents to the tailgate, Boarshead is my go-to for a spread that's as exciting as the game itself. Their platters are a hit every time.

Speaker 169 They've got everything you need to keep your guests coming back for more. And if you want to take it up a notch, grab a few dips.

Speaker 169 My personal favorite, the blazing buffalo chicken, hummus, or even one of their charcuterie collections for game-changing flavor.

Speaker 169 Boarshead helps me elevate my entertaining every time, whether it's for a tailgate or a home gating celebration.

Speaker 169 To upgrade your spread, visit your local Boarshead deli for platter options or build your own to make it perfect for your crowd. Boarshead, committed to craft since 1905.

Speaker 170 Man, I'll tell you what, when you're hungry out there, you start acting like a rookie quarterback in his first game, making bad decisions, messing up the basics, being all out of sorts.

Speaker 170 That's where Snickers comes in, man. That thing is packed.
Roasted peanuts, nugget, caramel, milk chocolate. It's like the MVP of candy bars.

Speaker 170 And when you bite into it, boom, it sorts you out, gets your head back in the game of life, satisfying your hunger. Remember this: Snickers handles your hunger so you can handle everything else.

Speaker 170 Snickers satisfies, man.

Speaker 171 That's a winning play.

Speaker 146 Okay,

Speaker 97 Here's a game that I can't say that I watched a lot of.

Speaker 68 Saints, 14, Giants, 11.

Speaker 76 I saw some of it.

Speaker 59 I saw Drew Locke running.

Speaker 76 I saw Drew Locke running directly into two defenders when he could have run for a first down.

Speaker 105 And then I saw him running for like 25 yards, which was kind of nice.

Speaker 76 Yeah, that was a nice run.

Speaker 2 I also saw the stat that he was 0 for 8 in the first quarter.

Speaker 76 I saw Darren Rizzi almost knock out his punter. That was awesome.

Speaker 76 So Darren Rizzi, former special teams guy. Yeah.
I guess once a special teams guy, always

Speaker 76 obsessed with special teams.

Speaker 34 I'm going to guess he's going to continue being a special teams guy after this season.

Speaker 76 He was so, so mad at his punter. It looked for a second like he was going to punch him.

Speaker 131 Yes.

Speaker 76 Alvin Kamara had to get in between them, separate them, be like, dude, you can't yell like that at a punter. He's not a football player.

Speaker 76 You're going to break your punter down. The punter, to his credit, did a pretty good job of being like, yes, sir.
Yes, coach. Yes, coach.
Please don't hurt me, sir.

Speaker 76 And then after the game, Rizzi said to the media, he was like, yeah,

Speaker 76 I think we're cool now, though. Like, he took what I said, and you know, he's a football player, so he's going to respond well to it.

Speaker 76 I don't know if the punter's cool with it, if the punter is as much just like thankful he didn't get his ass kicked on the sidelines, yeah.

Speaker 20 His life flashed before his eyes, but but they're cool, they're cool with it.

Speaker 76 Um, one thing that I thought was interesting was Derek Carr, so he got injured in the game. Yeah, he uh credit to Derek Carr, the season's kind of like gone down the tubes a little bit.

Speaker 76 He's scrambling for a first down, he goes full airborne jumping to try to get a first down over like three guys, lands on his left wrist, does something to it, breaks it.

Speaker 76 And then after the game, or even as this was happening, I saw a lot of Saints fans being like, Derek Carr is a fucking moron for trying to go Superman in this lost cause of a season.

Speaker 76 But I think, like, great for Derek Carr.

Speaker 68 Yeah, he's bawling out. He's got pride.

Speaker 149 Yeah. You want to still have pride?

Speaker 76 Yeah, like, I get it. I get it.
It's kind of a meaningless game.

Speaker 76 No one's going to look back on this game against the Giants and be like, it was 14-11 in the fourth quarter and Derek Carr went super cyan against him.

Speaker 76 No one's going to think about that, but Derek Carr does.

Speaker 65 But you also got to remember, Derek Carr is still probably going to play.

Speaker 34 He's like, last year he played with an entire broken back.

Speaker 50 The difference comes out of the game.

Speaker 76 He might need surgery.

Speaker 76 He might still play. You think he's going to delay his surgery?

Speaker 110 I mean, do you remember last year? Yeah.

Speaker 133 We were just begging for Jameis and Derek Carr was like in a walker?

Speaker 87 Yeah.

Speaker 138 And he couldn't, and he just kept on going out there.

Speaker 6 He's crazy like that.

Speaker 64 He is.

Speaker 42 So that might be Spencer Rattler for you.

Speaker 168 It might be Spencer Rattler Rattler.

Speaker 88 Or Jacob Hayner.

Speaker 16 Listen, you play who you play.

Speaker 50 You play who you play.

Speaker 42 We also had at the game, there was a plane over MetLife Stadium that said it had a message attached to it.

Speaker 122 It said, Mr.

Speaker 144 Mara, enough.

Speaker 37 Please fix this dumpster fire.

Speaker 76 I like that they referred to him as Mr. Mara.

Speaker 64 Yeah. Very classy.

Speaker 161 Yeah, I wanted to keep it classy.

Speaker 16 Yeah. Yeah, not a scumbag.
You know, you're not a scumbag, Mr.

Speaker 3 Mara. You're just Mr.

Speaker 25 Mara.

Speaker 76 Dayball saw the banner.

Speaker 53 Yeah, and so did Malik Neighbors.

Speaker 136 He was asked about it. He said, I ain't paid for that plane.

Speaker 172 Yeah.

Speaker 47 So there we got.

Speaker 56 We got one person we could scratch off the list.

Speaker 46 Did Dable say anything about it?

Speaker 76 He basically said, I'm trying to fix it, too. Yeah.
Dable looked like he was going to cry after Graham Gnow got his block or kick blocked at the end of the game. Yeah, that was tough.
But

Speaker 76 that actually might be like a Darren Rizzi specialty.

Speaker 114 Yeah. Because

Speaker 76 teams against the Saints since Darren Rizzi have taken over, I think they're now one for seven on field goals.

Speaker 90 Wow.

Speaker 76 Field goal defense. He's got great field goal defense.

Speaker 47 Field goal defense. Yeah,

Speaker 100 the block kick, that was almost identical to the one they did, like, I think it was week 10.

Speaker 133 So, yeah, he's still a special teams coach.

Speaker 16 And we also had a funny moment where there was a tweet that was saying that Malik Neighbors screamed during a play,

Speaker 46 you're all calling plays, like, I ain't out here.

Speaker 163 And then Tyron Matthew corrected it in community notes and he was like, that was actually me.

Speaker 58 Yeah.

Speaker 135 So he was just taunting Drew Locke in the Giants offense.

Speaker 76 Yeah, it's bad, but for a different reason.

Speaker 64 Yeah, right.

Speaker 114 For a totally different reason, but also still bad.

Speaker 76 But it's kind of the same amount of bad.

Speaker 127 Yeah, right, exactly. Maybe worse.

Speaker 66 This is just a bummer of a game.

Speaker 76 Maybe worse, because if it was Malik neighbors that said that, you could put that in the A.J. Brown pile where you're like, yeah, you know, great receivers sometimes have that attitude about them.

Speaker 76 Yeah. When it's your opponent's old safety saying that, screaming it out loud, then that's just kind of like the whole thing is fucked up.
Yeah.

Speaker 34 And I kind of like that the Giants are, I talked about it last week with Thanksgiving, how the Giants and the Bears are very similar in their situations right now.

Speaker 53 They're kind of just following the Bears' path now with getting a kick blocked at the end of the game to lose a game.

Speaker 147 And it's just playing really sad football that is tough to watch.

Speaker 73 Starting 0 for 8.

Speaker 76 This is a tough game to go to.

Speaker 60 It was a tough game to go to, tough game to watch.

Speaker 59 Shout out that guy who got the plane.

Speaker 76 I wonder how much that cost. It should have been a firefighting plane.
Yeah. You're trying to put out the dumpster fire.
Yeah.

Speaker 53 Mr.

Speaker 91 Mara, please, please stop this dumpster fire.

Speaker 137 There's nothing he can do.

Speaker 34 No. He's tried.

Speaker 76 Just get Eli back.

Speaker 135 He's just bad at his job.

Speaker 173 Okay.

Speaker 22 Anything else from this game?

Speaker 103 I don't know.

Speaker 62 No, I mean,

Speaker 76 it was a good result for the Giants.

Speaker 56 Yeah, the Giants fans should absolutely be rooting.

Speaker 167 They're not going to win another game, right?

Speaker 76 Because here's the thing. If you're a Giants fan, if you draft a good quarterback, things can all change very quickly for you.

Speaker 48 And you can at least hope that things are going to change.

Speaker 76 Because with the whole Daniel Jones thing, it was like

Speaker 76 an escalating, snowballing series of bad decisions that were all kind of based on the fact that you did not know if you had a good quarterback when you didn't.

Speaker 76 So if you get a good quarterback, then you can put all that decision, all that brain energy goes somewhere else.

Speaker 34 Yeah, Brian Dables' real fault was he coached the hell out of Daniel Jones for that one year.

Speaker 96 Yeah.

Speaker 52 He shouldn't have done that. No.

Speaker 42 If you go back in time, he should have just coached a little bit less and maybe made it so that Daniel Jones failed a little bit more and everything would be different.

Speaker 76 And then you'd be like, go get me a quarterback.

Speaker 50 Yeah, go get me a quarterback.

Speaker 106 I need a quarterback.

Speaker 62 Aaron Rodgers next year.

Speaker 96 Aaron Rodgers next year.

Speaker 153 Although Aaron Rodgers might stick around, there was a report that the Jets are going to maybe draft a quarterback and Aaron Rodgers can

Speaker 76 he can take him under his toodle and make his life heaven. Yeah.

Speaker 86 Yeah.

Speaker 111 That actually, if you draft a quarterback memes,

Speaker 111 Aaron Rodgers will be good again.

Speaker 76 Who reported that? Yeah, so I just saw the look on memes' face and he did the real-life meme of Donald Trump. I'm just hearing about this now.

Speaker 150 All right, Jets. You tell me for the first time.

Speaker 76 Memes is good at that. Memes, by the way,

Speaker 76 I loved your boomer today. My favorite part was that your throat started to get scratchy from doing the voice.

Speaker 76 I actually didn't know that you were doing the voice.

Speaker 92 What do you mean? Hank agrees.

Speaker 91 I thought you were just doing your regular voice.

Speaker 76 That was scary, man.

Speaker 1 This is from some place called U Stadium.

Speaker 84 Oh, all right.

Speaker 11 They're troll?

Speaker 150 No, they're good.

Speaker 2 Jets are likely to draft a quarterback.

Speaker 21 Oh, no.

Speaker 50 Rapport reported it. Oh, nice.

Speaker 146 Jets are likely to draft a quarterback in round one of the NFL draft, regardless if Aaron Rodgers is on the the roster.

Speaker 76 I love that Max

Speaker 76 won Rossini's Twitter page to try to find out where this is coming from.

Speaker 9 This would be where I go for my Jets news.

Speaker 76 Yeah, she does a good job. Listen,

Speaker 120 let's do this game.

Speaker 83 Dolphins 32, Jets 26.

Speaker 53 Memes, this would be a good thing because Aaron Rodgers has shown that if you put competition, young competition around him, he's going to play great.

Speaker 28 They drafted Jordan Love and he ripped off some great years.

Speaker 150 I agree with you. I just don't think there is a quarterback

Speaker 150 because right now we're at seven.

Speaker 150 I think it's very thin at the top.

Speaker 96 Drew Aller.

Speaker 150 Yeah, but you could get him in the probably second round.

Speaker 84 No, buddy.

Speaker 34 Did you watch that?

Speaker 13 Did you see that fourth down throw against Oregon?

Speaker 96 You can still get him in the second round.

Speaker 40 Not after that fourth down throw against Oregon.

Speaker 76 Have you guys ever drafted a Penn State quarterback?

Speaker 148 Yeah, thanks.

Speaker 15 One time.

Speaker 76 Something nice to say about the Jets memes.

Speaker 76 It is Izzy season, but it's a different Izzy.

Speaker 64 Who was it? Isaiah Davis.

Speaker 90 Yeah. Oh, yeah.

Speaker 76 He's a stud. Is he also Izzy?

Speaker 76 Isaiah?

Speaker 150 No, you can't replace Izzy.

Speaker 76 I don't know. I like this game.
He can't replace one with the other.

Speaker 79 He's got a little woodhead in him.

Speaker 150 No, he's good. He's a South Dakota Jack Rapper.

Speaker 91 Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 59 He scored a touchdown and then went off for like two seconds and went right back on to kick unit.

Speaker 79 Yeah, no, though. He's a football guy.
The

Speaker 159 lasting

Speaker 150 effect of Joe Douglas, Olufajanu, Isaiah Davis, Braylon Allen, all studs.

Speaker 50 Yeah.

Speaker 68 So this game, memes, you kind of got exactly what you wanted out of this game.

Speaker 137 Aaron Rodgers looks good for the first time in forever. He threw for over 300 yards for the first time in forever.

Speaker 68 Garrett Wilson and Devontae Adams were putting up big-time yards, and you lost the game.

Speaker 150 Yeah, it was a perfect loss.

Speaker 150 Aaron Rodgers also kind of lost in this game.

Speaker 78 Why?

Speaker 76 Missed guys?

Speaker 150 No, well, that and the third down. Yeah.
He threw it to the sideline when he could have checked to a run run or throw it to the middle of the field. Dolphins get it back for like 15, 20 seconds.

Speaker 96 Devontae Adams went out of bounds.

Speaker 76 That long pass that he threw where...

Speaker 76 Was that Adam? No, that was. I think it was Garrett Wilson.
That was Garrett Wilson, right? On the sideline? Yeah, threw that bomb to him. Yep.
And he had all the room to throw that ball in bounds.

Speaker 150 Yeah, and he just missed him.

Speaker 76 But he had a good game today overall.

Speaker 6 He did. He played well overall.

Speaker 137 Exactly what we talked about on Friday.

Speaker 2 You wanted him to look like he could still play quarterback. I thought he could still play quarterback after watching today.

Speaker 76 Yeah,

Speaker 112 today felt like a good game.

Speaker 156 That might have been his best game as a Jet.

Speaker 112 The Patriots week three.

Speaker 33 Okay.

Speaker 106 That one?

Speaker 92 That one.

Speaker 125 That one was the best? That's the best.

Speaker 130 That was the best.

Speaker 86 The Dolphins are still alive, by the way, which is crazy.

Speaker 122 They need a lot of help, but they did save their season today by winning in overtime.

Speaker 18 Tua is going for the record for completion percentages all time.

Speaker 139 He's at 74.5%.

Speaker 6 I did not know that.

Speaker 39 Drew Brees' record was 74.4%.

Speaker 59 So better not have any incompletions, Tua.

Speaker 76 Let's go, Tua. Good.
Good for Tua.

Speaker 120 Tua did the thing, and I know you probably

Speaker 144 know what it means from watching the game, where it's so frustrating because Tua,

Speaker 134 it felt like he never got touched today.

Speaker 100 He had all the time in the world to throw, and he'll throw like not a lollipop, but like a looper, and then it will just be perfectly placed like Tyreek Hill coming out of a cut.

Speaker 34 Like the exact, the exact

Speaker 105 touchdown, two-point conversion, and then the touchdown and overtime were all that throw.

Speaker 150 Yeah, it was all the same play. Yeah.
It almost seemed like the Dolphins were kind of fucking around at one point.

Speaker 125 Yeah, they were spamming a play.

Speaker 79 They did a no-look pass at one point.

Speaker 150 It almost felt like they thought they had a three-touchdown lead, but I don't know. The Dolphins are playing weird.

Speaker 76 So do you want Rodgers to stick around if you draft a quarterback?

Speaker 65 If we draft a quarterback,

Speaker 150 I say yes. A lot of Jets fans don't want him.

Speaker 52 He'll be good if you draft a quarterback.

Speaker 28 He needs a little bit of that spark, a little bit of that fire.

Speaker 62 Get a younger dog. Keep it up.

Speaker 150 Based on the contract, I think you have to restructure and keep him.

Speaker 50 Okay. That's just my opinion.

Speaker 150 Because if you cut him before then, there's just so much dead cap.

Speaker 157 Yeah, and you also want to keep Devontae Adams.

Speaker 150 Yeah, every time I got a ball, I was just like, this guy's so good.

Speaker 84 Right.

Speaker 103 And so you need to keep Aaron Rodgers.

Speaker 27 Memes, I have a bad stat for you.

Speaker 19 This was, you guys were officially eliminated from playoff contention.

Speaker 19 14 years,

Speaker 27 longest playoff drought

Speaker 22 in the NFL.

Speaker 22 Damn.

Speaker 83 Yeah. Would you like to say anything?

Speaker 141 It's not the longest playoff drought in all of sports.

Speaker 106 And NBA.

Speaker 76 All of sports.

Speaker 159 And WBA.

Speaker 76 All the sports. And MLB.

Speaker 50 All the sports.

Speaker 15 And NHL.

Speaker 50 All sports.

Speaker 76 And WNBA Per Adam Schefter. It's also the longest in MLS, but Schefter didn't mention that.
He said WNBA, not MLS.

Speaker 76 But it's misleading. Because hockey has the Sabres.
And I think this would be 14 years for them if they don't make the playoffs this year. Right.

Speaker 50 That's a long time.

Speaker 76 And also, it's been 15 years since Tottenham won a trophy.

Speaker 50 Yeah.

Speaker 21 That soccer? Yeah, that's soccer.

Speaker 50 I don't want to say anything bad about it.

Speaker 50 We're of the age where

Speaker 2 we could easily have... The Jets' playoff drought could easily be our child.

Speaker 88 If I had a 14-year-old kid, it wouldn't be weird.

Speaker 44 Yeah, and there's no end in sight.

Speaker 86 None.

Speaker 76 Well, Aaron coming back. Isaiah Davis.

Speaker 47 Is anything going well for you right now?

Speaker 33 All right.

Speaker 81 Breaking news means

Speaker 47 geez.

Speaker 9 They were setting you up for the breaking news at the time.

Speaker 112 I was going to do it during PFT's Usback.

Speaker 78 Oh. Oh, okay.
All right.

Speaker 33 Well, you want to just tell you it now?

Speaker 75 Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 86 Breaking Moose.

Speaker 5 Juan Soto signs with the news.

Speaker 31 I wanted to hear memes, Moo.

Speaker 50 Yeah, too.

Speaker 86 Go ahead. Moo.

Speaker 50 Breaking Moose.

Speaker 50 Yeah.

Speaker 75 Breaking Moose.

Speaker 20 Juan Soto signs with the New York Mets.

Speaker 5 15 years, $765 million.

Speaker 111 Holy shit.

Speaker 56 What was our debate?

Speaker 1 We said over 700, right?

Speaker 76 I think I said 750 or 700.

Speaker 9 I said I didn't think he was going to get 600.

Speaker 123 Yeah, so you were wrong yet again.

Speaker 169 That's awesome, memes.

Speaker 44 Yeah, it's nice to get a win. Yeah.

Speaker 60 How did you not take that win when we were talking about the Jets playoff drought?

Speaker 34 Like, that was exactly.

Speaker 7 So we started the podcast and we saw the news and we're like, hey, memes, you can pick when you want to do breaking moves for this.

Speaker 156 You just had the spot right there.

Speaker 5 You can just interrupt PFTs who's back when he does it.

Speaker 76 Yeah, do it with whatever. Yeah.
That insult set that you brought up to me earlier today.

Speaker 76 That was a great stat. It was a good set.

Speaker 120 That was a good set.

Speaker 75 How,

Speaker 60 so

Speaker 117 thoughts on Juan Soto?

Speaker 44 I'm not the biggest baseball guy, but he's the best.

Speaker 96 New York's back for right now.

Speaker 31 Okay. And you beat the Yankees.
That's really all.

Speaker 120 Yeah, the Yankees fans are so upset.

Speaker 31 That's the win.

Speaker 96 Yeah, they're going off.

Speaker 127 They're like, how could he turn down the Yankees

Speaker 76 to go to the Mets? Does he not know about our history on the Yankees? Yeah, he doesn't give a shit about history. He likes the money.
Yeah. A lot of baseball fans are mad about this.

Speaker 164 Yeah.

Speaker 52 No, this is good.

Speaker 106 You got one over on the Yankees.

Speaker 5 Are you mad, Max, because he's in the division?

Speaker 31 Yeah, no, it's no good for us.

Speaker 92 They were already better than us.

Speaker 50 Yeah.

Speaker 58 How do you think our friend Jared Robbis is doing?

Speaker 17 Probably not well.

Speaker 31 Not well, yeah. I mean, my reportings on the hot seat

Speaker 31 on these very airwaves. I said he was going to be a Red Sox.

Speaker 31 I was misled.

Speaker 31 But

Speaker 31 I think for Red Sox fans, it's much, much better that he's on the Mets than the Yankees.

Speaker 31 That is a little victory in its own right.

Speaker 50 Yeah.

Speaker 101 I mean, the Yankees fans are.

Speaker 114 This is.

Speaker 31 Because it is so much money.

Speaker 101 And the Yankees.

Speaker 126 Oh, wait, Yankees bid $760 million for 16 years.

Speaker 37 Oh, shouldn't have done 16, should have done 15.

Speaker 166 Damn.

Speaker 21 That's awesome.

Speaker 76 I like to think Steve Cohen just, he was just sitting in a chair and

Speaker 76 Scott Boris would like walk back into his room once every five minutes, be like, Yankees say that they're doing a 725. Yeah, of course, like, just give a 726.

Speaker 31 No deferred money either, which is wow.

Speaker 111 I mean, shout out to Steve Cohen for putting his money where his mouth is.

Speaker 122 He said he was going to do this, and he did it.

Speaker 76 Yeah, I feel like Mets fans, you can't complain about Steve Cohen. No, no, at all.
Like, you've lost, that's not an option for you now.

Speaker 150 Yeah, I think people did for a second, but now that things are going good, he's the guy.

Speaker 50 And you're playing him.

Speaker 9 I also think that this is what we said when we talked about this the first time, too.

Speaker 9 He literally,

Speaker 9 I think it was just a dollar sign. Yeah.
Like he put zero emotion or anything into it.

Speaker 9 The Mets said 765. The Yankees said 760.
765 is higher than 760, so he took 765.

Speaker 121 Well, and also the Yankees.

Speaker 83 16 years.

Speaker 122 The thing I don't understand, and it drives me nuts, I wish...

Speaker 43 The Cubs weren't cheap.

Speaker 97 They're a fucking huge market team, and they pretend that they're poor.

Speaker 5 I don't understand why a team in this situation

Speaker 158 isn't like, hey, Juan Soto, how about $300 million for three years?

Speaker 53 Like, you get $100 million a year, and then you're a free agent again.

Speaker 76 Because they want the long-term.

Speaker 111 I know he wants the long-term, but like, that would, if you get paid $100 million a year,

Speaker 68 and just be like, you get another contract that's probably going to be even more.

Speaker 5 If he signed a three-year

Speaker 53 $300 million contract, barring obviously like a catastrophic injury, he would end up making more money than the $765.

Speaker 76 Yeah, barring an injury. Yeah.

Speaker 76 Or barring, you know, just the career falling off but just being like hey here's here's a 150 million dollars a year i think somebody's saying uh do you want guaranteed 765 million dollars is pretty good i don't know if someone if someone's like hey 400 million dollars for three years and you get to dip again do you think one soto as a uh as an outfielder do you think he was a little bit scared off from the yankees by the copa bianco brothers probably that are lurking out there in right field probably

Speaker 34 now he's yeah when he comes back to when he comes back to new york yeah they're gonna

Speaker 152 stay to him they're going to get him.

Speaker 163 Also,

Speaker 163 if you're an investor, wouldn't you want to have the money up front?

Speaker 129 Like, if you did three years, $300 million, you'd probably make more money

Speaker 76 if you invest it correctly. Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 7 I mean, 15 years from now, he's going to get paid what?

Speaker 68 Well,

Speaker 42 how many million a year is that?

Speaker 76 I can't do math. I think it's also nice to just know for $50 million a year for 10 years, be like, okay, this is going to be my home for 10 years.
Yeah. So I don't have to move in three years.

Speaker 16 But he likes money. Yeah.

Speaker 99 It would be sick to do that.

Speaker 76 If Scott Boris represents your best player, just prepare yourself to either get bent over a barrel or to say goodbye to that player.

Speaker 44 Yeah, I mean, he was a true unicorn in the fact that his age and how good he is and became a free agent.

Speaker 27 Like, that doesn't happen very often.

Speaker 76 Yeah, Mets fans, I envy Mets fans.

Speaker 76 He's the funnest player to root for in the non-Kyle Schwarber division. Yeah.

Speaker 76 He's so fun to root for.

Speaker 85 Okay, longest drought in

Speaker 145 all sports.

Speaker 96 Jets. Yeah.
It doesn't matter.

Speaker 76 They asked Aaron about that afterwards. He goes, well, I've only only been here for one of those seasons.

Speaker 94 Oh, well, actually, two.

Speaker 90 It's two seasons. It's two seasons.

Speaker 150 It doesn't matter, though.

Speaker 71 What do you mean? Only one team gets to win every year. And if you're not the team that's going to win, who's going to win?

Speaker 44 I would say getting to the playoffs definitely matters.

Speaker 53 I would like to go to the playoffs. Does it?

Speaker 96 Does it?

Speaker 50 What?

Speaker 159 Playoff win since 2010.

Speaker 150 Jets, two. Bears, one.

Speaker 44 Iron. Setters zero.

Speaker 86 I know.

Speaker 50 It means nothing.

Speaker 33 I know.

Speaker 48 I want to be in the playoffs.

Speaker 71 I know, but if you don't win in the playoffs, it means nothing.

Speaker 111 But you can't win in the playoffs if you don't get in the playoffs.

Speaker 66 It doesn't matter.

Speaker 150 When we're going to get there, we're going to go on a run.

Speaker 33 You guys got there.

Speaker 57 But getting in the playoffs matters.

Speaker 101 You can't win unless you're in the playoffs.

Speaker 71 But if you get to the playoffs and you don't win, you don't win.

Speaker 86 Well, no shit.

Speaker 9 Means you've been doing the playoff picture. You've been doing the playoff percentages every week.

Speaker 88 I haven't been in the playoffs in 14 years. Correct.

Speaker 81 But now you're saying it doesn't matter to me.

Speaker 75 No.

Speaker 44 It matters because you could go on a run, but if you're not going on a run, it doesn't matter.

Speaker 79 No, means

Speaker 76 you're discounting that entire week where you get to look at the bracket and you get your game time and you plan ahead and you make it like the the biggest deal ever because you're playing in a playoff game and it means a lot and you get that week of what if.

Speaker 47 Yeah, but you lose.

Speaker 120 But means you still getting into the playoffs is the only way to win a playoff game.

Speaker 95 That's true.

Speaker 150 Just let me cope.

Speaker 76 Yeah, you can cope.

Speaker 42 You can cope, but I'm just, I'm trying to explain that like you do want to get into the playoffs.

Speaker 16 I know. We just can't.

Speaker 42 I agree.

Speaker 146 Winning the playoff game is very important, but the first step is getting in.

Speaker 68 Isn't it crazy if you asked the Jets fan after this back-to-back AFC championships?

Speaker 33 Yeah, going there.

Speaker 76 Congrats on making the playoffs, Max.

Speaker 141 Yeah, Max, you clinched.

Speaker 60 How does it feel as someone who's clinched the playoffs?

Speaker 100 How does it feel?

Speaker 9 I honestly don't care about making the playoffs.

Speaker 162 I care about winning in the playoffs.

Speaker 73 But you can't.

Speaker 144 Is it true that you can't win a playoff game unless you make it?

Speaker 10 Correct.

Speaker 162 But the Eagles make it all the time.

Speaker 76 Yeah, that's true. Would you rather not make the playoffs?

Speaker 9 No, I'm happy that we made the playoffs.

Speaker 9 But I'm more excited to go on a run.

Speaker 76 It's the first time you ever said that.

Speaker 72 Wow.

Speaker 15 That's facts.

Speaker 76 You got the website pulled up right now. What are the commies percent at?

Speaker 39 79. All right.

Speaker 92 Rams are a little scary.

Speaker 76 Rams are definitely scary. They're a lot of scars.

Speaker 86 Rams are scary.

Speaker 9 Rams are scary.

Speaker 110 Rams are scary.

Speaker 137 All right, so congrats on Juan Soto.

Speaker 117 Congrats on not making the playoffs because you don't care.

Speaker 40 It's actually been a great 14 years for you.

Speaker 113 It's a great 14 years.

Speaker 76 It's really a 14-year Super Bowl drought.

Speaker 34 You thought you did something with the two playoff wins.

Speaker 50 I thought I did.

Speaker 75 I thought I nailed it.

Speaker 56 I know the Bears suck, but I still would.

Speaker 68 If you asked me, could we getting into the playoffs or not getting in the playoffs?

Speaker 2 I'd much rather get in the playoffs.

Speaker 167 I would much rather get in the playoffs, but I would rather go on a run in the playoffs.

Speaker 67 Well, no doubt.

Speaker 85 But you can't go on a run in the playoffs unless you're in the playoffs.

Speaker 16 I know.

Speaker 81 And

Speaker 76 if you get one playoff win and that's all you have to hang your hat on, then that's still, you look back on that moment and be like, that was cool when you beat the bucks 17 10 in 2006.

Speaker 150 that's true

Speaker 168 but i'm a loser

Speaker 76 and so this is one of the things i do to cope as a loser so i'm not going to judge you for coping wait our playoff win also came in the same year

Speaker 86 our last playoff win did it not who 2010 when you guys went to the afc championship

Speaker 138 i get my years mixed up The Bears went to the NFC Championship, lost to the Packers.

Speaker 161 That's true.

Speaker 141 I don't know if that's 11.

Speaker 111 Let me see.

Speaker 114 I wish the seasons would all be in one calendar.

Speaker 76 Yeah, the calendar

Speaker 76 when the NFL league year starts. Right in March.

Speaker 114 Because it's always like, well, what playoffs is it that year?

Speaker 7 The season was played here.

Speaker 173 Yeah, we beat, yeah.

Speaker 24 And then we lost, and that was Jay Cutler getting hurt.

Speaker 150 Oh, damn, we could have played each other.

Speaker 50 Oh, yeah, you guys.

Speaker 86 Yeah, we could have played.

Speaker 64 We were this close to playing in a Super Bowl, but not really.

Speaker 76 You guys lost on the same day. Yeah.

Speaker 175 So sweet.

Speaker 9 Also, a buy should count as a playoff win. I agree.

Speaker 86 Because

Speaker 9 you got to the same amount of.

Speaker 2 Although, that just added like 100 playoff wins to Tom Brady's record.

Speaker 11 He should.

Speaker 76 Wait, which. Oh.

Speaker 25 That was so long ago.

Speaker 76 The Bears lost earlier in the game.

Speaker 84 Yeah, we played earlier in the game.

Speaker 34 We played the early game because it was like zero degrees and it was very bright out.

Speaker 76 But memes, you also beat the Patriots January 16th at 4.30 p.m.

Speaker 76 The Bears beat the Seahawks at 1 o'clock. Yeah, we had the early game.
So you have a more recent playoff

Speaker 76 than the Bears do.

Speaker 50 Congrats. Congrats, That's huge.
Thank you. That's huge.

Speaker 158 Okay.

Speaker 1 Last game from the early slate, Jaguars 10, Titans 6.

Speaker 76 Be honest, how much of this game did you watch?

Speaker 101 I said,

Speaker 109 oh, is the Jaguars Titans game over?

Speaker 45 And someone who was closer to that TV said, yeah, dude, it's been over for like 20 minutes.

Speaker 60 I think they played this game in like two hours, two and a half hours.

Speaker 76 They might have played this game on Thursday night and then taped it and then just broadcast it today.

Speaker 101 I just saw the only notable things I saw was Mac Jones is back to doing the spin to nowhere.

Speaker 53 He spun to nowhere and then threw a pick.

Speaker 87 Mac Jones did help Hank and the Patriots.

Speaker 98 And Doug Peterson maybe didn't lose the locker room because they won a game?

Speaker 115 Yeah, I don't know.

Speaker 76 My status on this game was I asked, I would check in periodically to see if Mac Jones had thrown an interception yet. Yeah.
Because I bet on him to throw an interception. He turned to the next one.

Speaker 76 And then once I heard that he did, I was like, okay, cool. Mission accomplished today.

Speaker 76 So, yeah.

Speaker 76 Ironically, the Jags can't even tank correctly because Bigsby won the game for them.

Speaker 19 Yes, and Mac Jones is actually pretty good in the second half.

Speaker 105 Also, here's a fun thing.

Speaker 18 So, I know we said we weren't going to talk about the Jags anymore,

Speaker 19 except for how it pertains to their draft order, which I now think they're fourth.

Speaker 84 They are fifth.

Speaker 72 Fifth.

Speaker 76 And the Titans, by losing...

Speaker 76 Yeah,

Speaker 76 the Jaguars are fifth. The Titans are sixth.

Speaker 34 Yeah, because the Titans already had three wins.

Speaker 136 The Jaguars had two.

Speaker 24 Here's a fun thing that we can watch for the Titans.

Speaker 20 So this is a Titans stat, which if it happens, I would have to imagine is a record.

Speaker 110 So let's just assume Doug Peterson gets fired.

Speaker 37 Is that a fair assumption?

Speaker 84 Yeah.

Speaker 94 Okay.

Speaker 133 So it's a fair assumption.

Speaker 34 If the Titans lose the Jaguars in their rematch, I believe in week 18, the Titans will have lost to four teams that fired their coach this season.

Speaker 122 They lost to Matty Bruflus, they lost to Robert Salah, and they lost to Doug Peterson.

Speaker 5 And if by chance the Bengals fire Zach Taylor, they could potentially go 0-5 against teams that fire their head coach.

Speaker 130 That's pretty impressive.

Speaker 2 Which would be, I think that has to be a record.

Speaker 62 That's very impressive.

Speaker 64 That would be a cool record to watch.

Speaker 76 It's kind of insulting because teams get fired if it's like, you can't even beat this team. Right.

Speaker 76 Or coaches get fired if they're like, you can't even beat the tennis teams. Or the Titans lost to those teams?

Speaker 112 The Titans lost to those teams. That's right.

Speaker 138 The Titans could potentially go 0-5 against teams that fire their head coach this season.

Speaker 122 Doug Peterson, Robert Salah, Matt Eberfloos, and Doug Peterson again, and possibly Zach Taylor, who I don't think they're going to fire him, but they play the Bengals, I think, next week.

Speaker 56 That's a hell of a sat.

Speaker 65 That would be a bummer of a stat.

Speaker 98 This game sucked, though.

Speaker 76 10 to 6. 10-6.
It was the perfect game. It was exactly what you thought this game would be.
The NFL makes sense.

Speaker 110 Brian Thomas is good.

Speaker 60 That's cool, Jaguars fans.

Speaker 109 He's really good. He's going for the record of most 75-yard

Speaker 128 games for a rookie.

Speaker 45 So he has eight.

Speaker 17 The record is 10.

Speaker 27 He has four games left.

Speaker 147 So he goes two more games over 75 yards in that game.

Speaker 98 He'd have the record.

Speaker 76 Will Evis did not throw an interception today, right?

Speaker 50 No, but he did miss a wide-open throw in the end zone.

Speaker 122 I don't know if you guys saw that.

Speaker 117 Can you find that clip?

Speaker 37 Did you guys see this play? It was not good.

Speaker 19 He basically threw it over the guy who was running on the back line, and there was a guy right in front of him who was essentially standing wide open.

Speaker 114 I think Rosillo tweeted the clip.

Speaker 34 But yeah, it didn't look good.

Speaker 68 This game was not good.

Speaker 2 And I know we say it all the time where we're like, hey,

Speaker 7 what's the, like, this is a game that we would kill for?

Speaker 129 I don't know if I'd kill for this game in April.

Speaker 86 I would. Look at that.

Speaker 155 Look at the guy underneath.

Speaker 34 He is, he could not be more open.

Speaker 50 Ah.

Speaker 76 It looks like the Titans are two defenders and the Jaguars guy is the wide receiver.

Speaker 90 Yeah.

Speaker 10 Yeah. Great thing.

Speaker 75 He wished by the Titans on that opportunity. That would have been a great pass.

Speaker 111 Yeah, the Titans just kept on going to the red zone and not getting anything.

Speaker 53 That's kind of what they do.

Speaker 76 Tony Pollard's still good, though.

Speaker 56 Yeah, Tony Pollard's still good.

Speaker 157 Tank Bigsby, good.

Speaker 13 Doug Peterson hasn't lost the locker room.

Speaker 50 Maybe.

Speaker 60 Mac Jones, still bad.

Speaker 76 When was the last time a coach got fired in season after a win?

Speaker 19 No, Robert Sala didn't get

Speaker 19 a game.

Speaker 76 Because it has to happen at some point for Peterson, right? They might have just told him by now, like, you're going to coach the rest of the season.

Speaker 111 Yeah, they're like, it's too much of a pain in the ass.

Speaker 20 We've got to do a press conference. We've got to do the whole thing.

Speaker 27 We don't want to move interim.

Speaker 76 Before Christmas.

Speaker 163 They might also just, like, not have an interim on staff that they find, you know, who's able to do it.

Speaker 110 Yeah.

Speaker 99 Yeah. They're just like, hey, just finish this season.

Speaker 76 Do us a solid, Doug. We're going to pay you.
Just kind of keep showing up. Yeah.

Speaker 137 Maybe win one game, but don't win too many games because you don't want to fuck up our draft pick.

Speaker 129 Okay, let's take one more break and then we will get to our afternoon games.

Speaker 28 PFT, you got a quick sponsor?

Speaker 12 All protein bars generally taste the same, but not one bars. One-made protein bars are actually delicious with Reese's and Hershey's.

Speaker 12 Only one Reese's Peanut Butter Lover's protein bar is made with Reese's peanut butter, and only one Hershey's cookies and cream protein bars is made with Hershey's cookie bits while delivering 18 grams of protein and 3 grams of sugar.

Speaker 12 One bars are the perfect protein bar to get you through your busy day, whether you need a quick pick-me-up between meetings or you need some fuel to power you through your next workout.

Speaker 12 One also has other delicious flavors like birthday cake, maple glazed donut, and blueberry cobbler. Find all one bars at a retailer near you or on Amazon.com.

Speaker 2 What's up, guys?

Speaker 40 It's Big Cat here making my Irish entrance with proper number 12 Irish whiskey.

Speaker 5 How do you make an Irish entrance, you ask?

Speaker 16 It starts with a shot of proper number 12 Irish whiskey because real friends don't let friends Irish exit a party without a story to tell.

Speaker 44 Original proper number 12 is rich in a smooth blend of golden grain and single malt, aged four years in bourbon barrels.

Speaker 26 Mix it up with some ginger ale for a classic and refreshing proper ginger.

Speaker 44 In the mood for something smooth but a little sweeter, try proper Irish apple, a delicious blend of proper's award-winning Irish whiskey with crisp, fresh notes of apple.

Speaker 53 So get out there and make your Irish entrance.

Speaker 114 Anything else just wouldn't be proper.

Speaker 135 By the way, I did a bad job of,

Speaker 108 I should have mentioned that the Dolphins Jets finished on a walk-off score of Gami, and our darling Jake was like finally justice for two of fingers.

Speaker 92 Yeah. Kind of cool for him.

Speaker 96 Huge. Walk-off scoreigami.

Speaker 33 Very cool.

Speaker 66 You must have loved that memes.

Speaker 44 Big moment.

Speaker 150 This is also the first time I'm hearing that.

Speaker 10 Yeah.

Speaker 34 He said justice, justice for two of fingers.

Speaker 158 Okay.

Speaker 40 Niners 38, Bears, 13.

Speaker 135 That game sucked.

Speaker 113 The Bears are a joke.

Speaker 114 They're so bad.

Speaker 20 They got Iberflues fired, which I was totally on board with.

Speaker 114 You'd think there would be Pride.

Speaker 16 You'd think that there'd be an interim head coach pump.

Speaker 143 Nope.

Speaker 53 Same garbage team.

Speaker 16 Same garbage start.

Speaker 114 There was a moment where it was 310 yards to two, and then a half it was 319 yards to four yards.

Speaker 99 I just need this season to end.

Speaker 98 I just need it to be done. I can't do it anymore.

Speaker 144 It's fucking up my mood too much.

Speaker 18 Just get the Bears out of my face, and we'll revisit it come draft.

Speaker 76 So the halftime, 319 to 4, 319 by the 49ers, that's the most in the NFL this year. Yeah.
Four by the Bears is the least in the NFL this year. As a matter of fact, since 2015.

Speaker 33 Yeah.

Speaker 152 No, they were so bad. And you'd think

Speaker 6 with a

Speaker 111 fired coach, you'd think they'd come out with a purpose.

Speaker 44 Yeah.

Speaker 86 No. Not at all.

Speaker 50 Not even close. No purpose.

Speaker 5 The silver linings in this is that we can.

Speaker 132 Oh, my God, the Chiefs just doing 20.

Speaker 66 Unbelievable.

Speaker 76 The Chiefs keep doing it. They keep doing it.

Speaker 91 Oh, the Chiefs just doing 2 in.

Speaker 76 I took five field goals in this game. That was huge.

Speaker 168 Unbelievable.

Speaker 141 So

Speaker 16 I want this season to end so bad.

Speaker 156 It's so, so bad.

Speaker 41 The only silver linings is we can maybe get a real coach.

Speaker 117 And there was a little bit of a murmuring of like Thomas Brown could be the next coach.

Speaker 55 I don't know why he's on the sideline.

Speaker 139 I don't know why we had three good games offensively, relatively speaking, and we took him from the booth down to the sideline.

Speaker 106 Rome, Dunze had a good game.

Speaker 133 Other than that, we are just a garbage, garbage team, garbage, garbage organization.

Speaker 122 Just end the season.

Speaker 37 I can't do it anymore.

Speaker 121 Oh, and we play Monday Night Football next week.

Speaker 76 Good news is it's a shared Monday night slate. So doubleheader Monday night football.
So the eyes of the world won't be on you.

Speaker 76 This is what I'm talking about when I was telling you about the Bears Thanksgiving week.

Speaker 76 The Bears, sometime in the second half, they don't look as bad, but everybody only watches the first half of Bears games because it's so depressingly awful that they're like, oh, this stinks.

Speaker 76 So they don't even get your good stuff.

Speaker 99 No, it's, I mean, we weren't good in the second half.

Speaker 50 We were just better than how bad we were.

Speaker 76 The first drive was good.

Speaker 44 Yeah, but it took like 15 minutes.

Speaker 112 I know.

Speaker 76 The game was kind of over on that scoring drive.

Speaker 99 I just needed this season to end.

Speaker 59 I'm just so, I'm out of energy. Like,

Speaker 34 Max and Jackie Tables were sitting there trolling me the whole game, and it doesn't even hurt.

Speaker 68 Like, it can't, there's nothing like it doesn't even, it doesn't, I don't even feel it.

Speaker 16 You know what I mean?

Speaker 99 Because it's just like this team is so bad, and this organization is so bad and so lifeless and lost that I can't even, I can't even be hurt.

Speaker 112 I'm numb.

Speaker 76 They asked Kyle Shanahan after the game about the rumors that were spread by our good friend Mike Florio regarding the potential coach trade. Yep.
And he pretty much just poured cold water on it.

Speaker 117 He said no, and then there also was a report that Brock Purdy is going to sign an extension.

Speaker 122 So yeah, it was,

Speaker 53 and George Kittle was awesome.

Speaker 174 We just decided, like, hey, let's not guard George Kittle at all.

Speaker 114 Interesting strategy.

Speaker 104 I don't know.

Speaker 104 Anyone going to quiet?

Speaker 108 I mean, I'm done.

Speaker 27 They're in, like, the Jaguars pile of, like, what does it even matter?

Speaker 76 Fire Thomas Brown?

Speaker 17 Yeah, fire Thomas Brown.

Speaker 34 It's just, there's no point.

Speaker 122 Just get the season over with.

Speaker 2 Just get it over with.

Speaker 100 Like, maybe beat the Packers.

Speaker 76 That would be awesome. That is

Speaker 2 the season.

Speaker 53 But other than that, we're going to get killed by the Vikings on Monday night football.

Speaker 31 Spin zone, at least you don't have to worry about them on Sunday.

Speaker 31 You can put all that off to Monday. Like, you can enjoy an NFL Sunday.
True.

Speaker 143 True.

Speaker 65 I wish we had another buy.

Speaker 6 I wish we could.

Speaker 44 They should really give an opt-out for teams at this point of the season.

Speaker 31 Like, you've had two out of the three last NFL Sundays

Speaker 64 day or less. Yeah.

Speaker 105 And this one, though, suck because the afternoon, we always suck when we play in the afternoon, Sunday night football, Monday night football, Thursday night football, or the early sleep.

Speaker 54 That's when we suck.

Speaker 31 But another spin zone, that game was over so quickly, everyone

Speaker 75 got that.

Speaker 50 No, I got it.

Speaker 50 What?

Speaker 31 The game was over so early, everyone stopped watching. Yeah.

Speaker 31 No one was even paying attention to that game after it was 14-0. Yeah.

Speaker 110 It's just so bad.

Speaker 9 If you beat the Packers, is it a successful season?

Speaker 50 I hope they plant a flag.

Speaker 77 Yeah, this kind of looks like

Speaker 32 Ohio State.

Speaker 135 If we beat the Packers to somehow get them out of the playoffs, which I don't think is possible, yes, that would be a successful season.

Speaker 17 That would be my Super Bowl.

Speaker 135 I'd raise a banner for that.

Speaker 52 But yeah, I wouldn't. The only thing that

Speaker 65 with my luck and the Bears' luck, the Bears would beat the Packers,

Speaker 54 and then the Packers would like slide down a spot and Jalen Hurts would get hit by a bus and then they would like.

Speaker 108 you know, like have a cake. You know what I mean?

Speaker 68 Like something.

Speaker 34 The world would work in a way that the Bears beating the Packers actually helped the Packers get into the Super Bowl.

Speaker 76 Jalen Hurts getting hit by a boss.

Speaker 104 Yeah, I mean, I had to,

Speaker 21 it could happen.

Speaker 142 If the Bears beat the Packers, I would make sure that Jalen Hurts does not cross any streets without looking both ways.

Speaker 91 Just saying.

Speaker 9 Why did you want to know about that?

Speaker 92 Why did he know more?

Speaker 106 He wanted to know more.

Speaker 76 What if a piece of a stadium falls on him?

Speaker 75 That would be bad.

Speaker 9 That's a shading that he's probably going to play a falling stadium in a couple weeks.

Speaker 92 That'd be bad.

Speaker 159 No, they don't. That stadium doesn't fall.

Speaker 66 I don't know if you know. They've got a new owner now.

Speaker 59 He's changed. Go get your shine box, buddy.

Speaker 35 Yeah.

Speaker 11 Everything's changed. Same stadium.

Speaker 76 You've been gone for a long time. Maybe you didn't know.

Speaker 62 I don't shoot anymore.

Speaker 105 Also, I don't think the 49ers are good.

Speaker 142 I just think the Bears are that bad.

Speaker 76 So I was wondering, from the 49ers fans' perspective, are you thinking like we might be good?

Speaker 114 It will all come down to Thursday Night Football.

Speaker 27 If they beat the Rams, then yes, I think the 49ers fans will allow themselves to be be like, oh, maybe something's here.

Speaker 31 But it's the same, you know, you guys were just in a Super Bowl. That is a, we might be good game this week.

Speaker 141 Against the Rams.

Speaker 31 But even this Bears game is like.

Speaker 109 You can't really tell, though, against the Bears.

Speaker 75 Everyone beats it.

Speaker 75 From their perspective, I don't know how the Bears won four games.

Speaker 31 Spinning this to like, we're back.

Speaker 31 We're making a run.

Speaker 109 Was Matt Iberfluz actually a good coach?

Speaker 40 How did he win four games?

Speaker 76 I have no idea. It's actually insane.

Speaker 137 They're four and two. Yeah, no, they're foster.

Speaker 111 They play the Rams, the Dolphins, and then the Lions.

Speaker 27 So, yeah, I mean,

Speaker 174 the good thing about the Niners, you'll just find out because if they run the table, then they're absolutely a Super Bowl contender because that would be beating the Rams, the Lions, the Dolphins, and the Cardinals.

Speaker 76 So the rest of the season is going to be spent hoping that Caleb plays well.

Speaker 76 How would you say Caleb played today?

Speaker 36 Not good.

Speaker 107 I mean, he held on to the offensive line is terrible, but he holds onto the ball too long.

Speaker 160 He had a couple moments in the second half, but yeah, it's just everything's a mess.

Speaker 76 A couple good plays by Rome.

Speaker 54 I don't know why Thomas Brown was taken from

Speaker 135 the booth to the sideline.

Speaker 96 I don't know if that matters.

Speaker 98 In my dumb brain, it does.

Speaker 127 Can you do that?

Speaker 76 Can an interim head coach be a head coach from the booth?

Speaker 73 I'd love for him to do it.

Speaker 44 It just felt like they had a little tiny bit of momentum, and it really wasn't a lot of momentum because they still sucked in the first half, in every first half.

Speaker 140 But yeah, I don't know.

Speaker 110 Just get just reset.

Speaker 22 Get to the fucking offseason and let me stop thinking about the Bears for a couple months, and then I'll fill myself up with optimism, and I'll say stupid shit that I'll regret later and we'll just do it all over again.

Speaker 76 We heard an interesting fact during the game today that at first none of us really believed, but it turns out I think it might be true.

Speaker 76 That the McCaskies won't let people wear Bears merchandise in their box during the games. No logos.
No logos. It's like beneath, it's not classy enough.

Speaker 138 Which I'm not surprised. I mean, they

Speaker 127 didn't

Speaker 131 old money shit.

Speaker 137 They asked Hard Knocks to have no swears.

Speaker 76 But like you're at a Bears game and you're in the owner's box and they're like, can you please take that bear's head off?

Speaker 104 Yeah.

Speaker 79 Listen, they're terrible.

Speaker 31 Would you like to apologize to me for making me apologize to you when the Bears are 4-2?

Speaker 167 No.

Speaker 167 Okay.

Speaker 84 I don't.

Speaker 108 Good question.

Speaker 108 I'm not in the Bears.

Speaker 144 I'm just curious.

Speaker 36 I've given out so many apologies.

Speaker 19 I'm out of apologies.

Speaker 76 That's fine. I mean, that's classic hang.
He's just a curious guy. Yeah.

Speaker 83 Yeah, no. Good question.

Speaker 16 Maybe after the season when I can refill with apologies.

Speaker 112 Okay.

Speaker 149 I just feel like I've been apologizing to everyone everywhere for everything I've said.

Speaker 2 Fair. So we'll just get to that.
Put that on the list.

Speaker 92 Got it.

Speaker 140 Make a note for yourself, and we'll circle back.

Speaker 30 Okay.

Speaker 50 Yeah.

Speaker 76 Good question. Thank you.
You should apologize when Hank does his nine darter.

Speaker 50 Yeah.

Speaker 84 Deal.

Speaker 148 Great.

Speaker 76 What? What, Max? What was that? Is that something that you're talking about? You just passed your mic into side.

Speaker 9 Punishments are

Speaker 35 cooked. In a bad spot.

Speaker 162 We're in a bad spot with punishments.

Speaker 44 I'm going to get my tattoo.

Speaker 136 I have a tattoo arm.

Speaker 50 Move

Speaker 32 next year.

Speaker 76 I'm going to get a perm.

Speaker 9 I'm going to do the baseball at some point.

Speaker 58 Yeah, we're having some problems with the baseball thing.

Speaker 36 It's going to come.

Speaker 76 But it's due to the weather.

Speaker 68 And it's also we're trying

Speaker 85 to do something that is above and beyond for the AWLs, and it's proving to be difficult.

Speaker 31 Same with the nine-darter.

Speaker 39 Same with the nine-darter.

Speaker 174 Same with the nine-darter.

Speaker 109 Okay, Seahawks 30, Cardinals, 18.

Speaker 19 This was the other team.

Speaker 147 So it was the Steelers, the Vikings, and now the Seahawks.

Speaker 1 I don't know what happened during the Seahawks bye week, but their defense is completely different.

Speaker 159 This game was ⁇ it looked like the Cardinals came ready to go, scored on the first drive, and then Kyler started shitting down his leg and throwing picks, and the Seahawks controlled the entire game.

Speaker 76 So what's changed with the Seahawks is Ernest Jones is really good.

Speaker 63 Yeah.

Speaker 76 And he's kind of taken on a big part of that defense, and he is playing awesome right now. Yeah.
So the Seahawks defense shut the Cardinals down today.

Speaker 76 The Cardinals' defense has been pretty good at home.

Speaker 60 Yeah, they couldn't stop the run at all today.

Speaker 76 The teams couldn't score against the Seahawks. Yeah.
Seahawks were. The Cardinals, yeah.
Against the Cardinals, and Charbonnet was just electric today. Yeah.

Speaker 111 Yeah, and

Speaker 5 I think I believe in the Seahawks. I mean, they're now on the top of the NFC West.

Speaker 85 And the way they've been playing, they've won four in a row.

Speaker 7 Their defense looks completely different.

Speaker 5 They have weapons everywhere.

Speaker 45 I think I'm believing in the Seahawks.

Speaker 92 They do have a lot of people.

Speaker 50 I think the NFC playoffs are going to be fucking.

Speaker 4 I hate both sides.

Speaker 76 They've got the weapons. They finally reached the point where JSN and DK have fully taken over all the time for Lockett.

Speaker 76 Lockett is barely even afterthought on that offense, but Jason has been playing great the last few weeks.

Speaker 51 Let's do

Speaker 45 a headline.

Speaker 101 Is this the most wide open the NFL's ever been?

Speaker 76 I can't. You know what? I'm thinking back to 2017, obviously.
It was pretty wide open in 2017, too.

Speaker 68 This might be the most wide open the NFL's ever been.

Speaker 76 2020, it was wide open.

Speaker 13 2020 was was wide open because it was COVID year.

Speaker 76 It was COVID. Nothing in the year.
Anybody's game.

Speaker 76 Last year it was kind of wide open, too.

Speaker 73 Last year, but then the Chiefs and the Niners played in the Super Bowl.

Speaker 76 Well, it's about to be the Chiefs again this year.

Speaker 76 It just feels like it.

Speaker 32 They're not good.

Speaker 131 They only have one loss.

Speaker 96 They don't lose. I know.

Speaker 64 All right, Seahawks Cardinals, though.

Speaker 172 We're talking about them.

Speaker 76 Geno is now 6-0 against the Cardinals. Yeah.

Speaker 87 He doesn't lose to them.

Speaker 5 It feels like this is the end of the Cardinals season.

Speaker 36 They had a nice run, but they have fallen off.

Speaker 98 And it just, it's frustrating.

Speaker 53 I've said it many times before, but like watching the Cardinals when things are not clicking on offense, they might be the most frustrating offense to watch.

Speaker 76 Yeah,

Speaker 76 not great.

Speaker 141 Because you just expect big plays to happen, and you expect when Kyler runs around that something cool is going to happen, and then it just doesn't happen.

Speaker 76 Yeah, so this is a big-time pivotal game for both teams. Yeah.
So because they won, now the Seahawks are way, way more likely to make the playoffs. If the Cardinals had beaten the Seahawks today,

Speaker 76 it kind of would have been reversed. The Seahawks would be down to like, I don't know, 11% if they had lost.
Yeah.

Speaker 76 So pretty crazy, pretty crazy outcome. I don't think anybody thought it was going to be a big-time blowout like it was, but Kyler basically put them in the shitter in the first quarter.

Speaker 105 Basically, all I'm watching for for the Cardinals.

Speaker 68 I mean, I guess they could.

Speaker 121 They're

Speaker 27 two back in the lost column, and the Seahawks have the tiebreaker because they beat him twice.

Speaker 44 So they're not eliminated, but it feels like they're eliminated.

Speaker 135 I'm just going to watch to see if Trey McBride will have the best season of a receiver ever without scoring a touchdown.

Speaker 76 How many yards does he have now?

Speaker 62 850. Yeah.

Speaker 44 Does not have a touchdown.

Speaker 101 Get him in the end zone. Get him in the end zone.

Speaker 111 It's crazy.

Speaker 57 Also, get the guy in the end zone.

Speaker 76 Are we sure that Marvin Harrison Jr. is good? Actually, yes, we are.
Just remember, Marvin Harrison Sr. listens to the podcast.

Speaker 173 Yes, he is very good.

Speaker 76 I just want to say that Marvin Harrison Jr. is an impact player.

Speaker 8 Incredible.

Speaker 64 They got to get him the ball more.

Speaker 87 Really good player.

Speaker 84 Really good player.

Speaker 20 Okay, last game, best game.

Speaker 109 Rams, 44. Bills, 42.

Speaker 149 This game ruled.

Speaker 5 Josh Allen was out of this world good.

Speaker 2 Matthew Stafford was out of this world good.

Speaker 9 Puka Nakua is unguardable.

Speaker 20 Cooper Cup was catching balls off his thighs.

Speaker 54 It was awesome.

Speaker 5 Everything about this game was awesome.

Speaker 76 Yeah, so a couple things, a couple firsts for Josh Allen and the Bills today. Josh is the first player with three pass touchdowns and three rush touchdowns in the same game.
Yeah, crazy.

Speaker 76 In NFL history. Crazy.
And it's also the first time that a team scored six or more touchdowns with no turnovers and lost.

Speaker 2 I don't like that stat because they're just pretending that the block

Speaker 140 punt that changed the game.

Speaker 52 The block punt. That literally was the game.

Speaker 76 That was returned for a touchdown.

Speaker 34 Yeah, both teams couldn't be stopped, and then the special teams of the Bills failed once, and that was the game.

Speaker 76 Yeah, it was a pick six without, it was a kick six.

Speaker 122 Yeah, so that's a misleading stat.

Speaker 76 But it's also a true stat.

Speaker 7 It is a true stat, but I want to say when 10 years from now and it happens again and we're like, like, oh, the only other time it happened is Bills Rams.

Speaker 111 We're like, actually, there was a block punt.

Speaker 76 And also, that was during the wide open 2024 NFL season. Yes.

Speaker 86 When anything could happen.

Speaker 2 The most wide open season we've ever had.

Speaker 2 But yeah, this was football porn.

Speaker 86 And you knew,

Speaker 101 I was saying on Friday, this is another one of those kitchen sink games for

Speaker 9 Sean McFay.

Speaker 27 He's had a couple of them this year where it's like the Rams' back has been against the wall, and he's going to basically call a perfect game.

Speaker 88 And by the way, Hank, I feel like Tom Brady is kind of finding a rhythm because he was saying, which was a good point, that the Rams have very rarely been in a position this year where they can dictate their play calls offensively and how it looks so different when they were playing with a lead and Sean McVay playing with a lead can do whatever he wants.

Speaker 16 And they haven't been in that spot.

Speaker 114 And that's why they were just like exploding offensively.

Speaker 76 Yeah, he also creamed himself over Cooper Cup's hands at one point. Yeah.
Strong hands.

Speaker 53 And his voice sounds bad.

Speaker 76 He's got strong hands.

Speaker 31 How sounds good.

Speaker 60 No, his voice was scratchy.

Speaker 39 I like it. He sounded under the weather.

Speaker 50 Oh, you like it? Yeah.

Speaker 90 Sounds like daddy. Yeah.
Oh.

Speaker 94 Yeah.

Speaker 76 The kitchen sink, by the way, was like get the ball to Puka Nakua.

Speaker 64 Yeah, and Cooper Cup. And Cooper Cup.

Speaker 120 Oh, and they ran the ball really.

Speaker 109 They ran for like 100 yards in the first half.

Speaker 76 I just love watching Puka Nakua. Yeah.
He's so good. He's making the throwing of the ball when he's covered.
He's fully, he's not open. Yeah.

Speaker 76 And just knowing that he's going to do something incredibly athletic and strong and acrobatic and end up coming down with a catch. He always does.

Speaker 7 The Rams were 11 for 15 on third down.

Speaker 68 And every time they needed a third down, they found one.

Speaker 76 And then bring five guys to tackle him.

Speaker 164 Yeah.

Speaker 60 Yeah, he's awesome.

Speaker 38 The Rams are a dangerous team if they could ever get in.

Speaker 76 The Bills hate, hate James Cook.

Speaker 60 Yeah.

Speaker 138 Well, they were playing from behind.

Speaker 135 Yeah. And then

Speaker 73 I gave a free bet, a 15K free bet to our graphics team, and they picked James Cook anytime touchdown.

Speaker 32 And then our good friend, number one ball knower or ball watcher in America, Liam Bluttman, like, I don't know, halfway through the third quarter, was like, actually, there's some stats showing that they're saving him for the playoffs, so his carries are down.

Speaker 122 It's like, that would have been nice to know.

Speaker 76 The usage rate, yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 53 He just went off on the usage rate.

Speaker 34 And Josh Allen is just,

Speaker 139 he's a TD vulture.

Speaker 76 He does at the goal line. Every time at the goal line, just sitting Josh diving headfirst through the pile.

Speaker 160 We should mention, by the way,

Speaker 53 all-time stupid mistake by Sean McDermott at the end of the game.

Speaker 31 That's a Brady Brady was

Speaker 64 cooking him.

Speaker 114 Because they did it perfectly.

Speaker 122 So to set the stage, the

Speaker 105 Bills were down, what were they down?

Speaker 141 Nine?

Speaker 109 It was 44-35, I believe.

Speaker 103 They were down nine, and they had all three timeouts.

Speaker 65 And the Bills ran a perfect drive where they were getting everything to the sideline.

Speaker 101 They were getting out of bounds.

Speaker 68 They were going quickly.

Speaker 6 Essentially, if they can keep all three of their timeouts, they will be able to kick it deep if they want to, try to get a stop, and then a punt and field goal to win.

Speaker 100 They get all the way down to the one-yard line, and then Sean McDermott calls

Speaker 109 tush push.

Speaker 106 Don't get in.

Speaker 68 He burns the one timeout, game over.

Speaker 42 That's it.

Speaker 5 Because then you have to on-site kick. You're not going to get the on-site kick.

Speaker 114 Game over. It was crazy.

Speaker 111 I don't know why they did it so perfectly.

Speaker 128 And then at the last second, they're like, oh, because they were at the one-yard line. It was a pass interference to the end zone.

Speaker 101 They could have just ran a bunch of pass plays

Speaker 105 and not had the clock go.

Speaker 76 You were just thinking that there's no chance that they stop him on this quarter.

Speaker 152 Right. But it was just,

Speaker 83 you had done it to perfection to get a

Speaker 101 one-stop, all three timeouts, get a punt, 20 seconds left, have Josh Allen get into field goal range.

Speaker 46 Like, it worked perfectly, and then you just threw it all out.

Speaker 76 So that was a big mistake by McDermott. There was also another big mistake at the very, very end of the game.
So the Rams punt, they did a walk-off punt, which you hardly ever see.

Speaker 76 But the idea was kick the ball so high in the air that it lands after the clock expires. Yes.
So you get no time at all.

Speaker 76 McDermott had nine guys on the field.

Speaker 76 Nine. Ooh.
Not 10, not 11 guys. And there was a penalty just before that with a delay of game that the Rams took intentionally to wind the clock all the way down.
And you still had

Speaker 76 post-penalty,

Speaker 76 nine guys on the field.

Speaker 76 That's a lot of. You're supposed to have 11.
You'd think that Sean McDermott would know the difference between 9 and 11. Yeah.

Speaker 64 You would. I've heard.

Speaker 63 You absolutely would. There's two numbers

Speaker 53 there. The two numbers he would know.

Speaker 64 He would.

Speaker 140 Okay.

Speaker 69 Sunday night football.

Speaker 138 Chiefs win.

Speaker 141 Walk-off field goal.

Speaker 33 Doink.

Speaker 117 That works in their favor.

Speaker 76 Yeah, they've got the power of the doink on their side. The doink is an enemy to everyone, except the Chiefs.
Yeah.

Speaker 34 That big third down at the end of the game when they get Travis Kelsey, where if the Chargers could stop them, they would have like a minute and a half left.

Speaker 135 That was the backbreaker.

Speaker 135 Credit to the Chargers because it looked like they were not interested in playing in this game in the first half without Lab McConkey, and then they came out and had a nice second half, but the Chiefs just keep winning.

Speaker 44 They're just better than everyone.

Speaker 76 We will have Jerry O'Connell on the show to talk about the fantasy recap for this season. Yeah.

Speaker 76 Jerry had lads starting for us until the last second. Oh, no.

Speaker 76 Took him out, put Palmer in instead.

Speaker 76 That overthrow on Palmer would have been probably 70 yards and a touchdown. We ended up losing 100.82 to 102.22.

Speaker 76 That's the difference right there. That's it.

Speaker 131 Game of inches, folks.

Speaker 76 I want you to walk me through your thoughts and your process. This is your exit interview.

Speaker 103 Game of inches.

Speaker 15 That's brutal.

Speaker 46 Hank, you bet this game? Oh.

Speaker 143 Oh.

Speaker 76 Max, thanks for saying this this way.

Speaker 19 If Juan Soto goes to the Mets, I'll post a video of me eating a gallon of human shit.

Speaker 56 Why would someone tweet that?

Speaker 76 Oh, well, this was tweeted today. Yeah.
Like an hour ago. So it was somebody that was hoping to

Speaker 76 go viral.

Speaker 31 All things, Philly.

Speaker 34 Yeah, this is you.

Speaker 92 This would not be me.

Speaker 162 Why'd you send it then? Yeah, I did not send that. Meme sent that.

Speaker 32 I feel like it's you.

Speaker 150 I think Max sent it.

Speaker 16 Hank, you think the Chiefs are just going to win the Super Bowl?

Speaker 31 I think they're going to get to the Super Bowl, unfortunately.

Speaker 67 I still.

Speaker 132 They can't.

Speaker 31 And I don't have black magic.

Speaker 2 They have curses.

Speaker 31 They have witches.

Speaker 31 They're not a good team.

Speaker 6 They're not a good team.

Speaker 31 But it's going to happen in the playoffs.

Speaker 31 They're going to beat the Bills in a weird way. They're going to beat the Ravens in a weird way.

Speaker 31 It's impossible to watch this team and watch how the season has gone. And

Speaker 31 because all

Speaker 31 expectations and projections go out the window, they just win.

Speaker 31 And the playoffs is the ultimate example of that happening.

Speaker 31 Somehow teams, you know, if the great teams win, they've won two Super Bowls. They're not worried about the pressure.

Speaker 120 No, I they're gonna find a way to win somehow.

Speaker 50 I agree with you.

Speaker 5 Infuriating, I agree with you in that fact.

Speaker 120 Like, people, you know, say, Oh, they get lucky.

Speaker 2 It's like, no, no, they're just really talented.

Speaker 20 And if the ball bounces their way, they're ready.

Speaker 5 You can't have any mistakes against the Chiefs.

Speaker 108 If the ball bounces their way, they're going to capitalize on it.

Speaker 26 That's why they're Andy Reid and Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs.

Speaker 62 I just don't know.

Speaker 138 Like, I feel like Patrick Mahomes has no time.

Speaker 37 Their offensive line feels more like it was in the 2020 season than last season or the season before, where it's like last season.

Speaker 149 Mahomes looks bad, too.

Speaker 34 I know, because he has no time.

Speaker 87 They're not a great win. They don't have guys that are beating people one-on-one.

Speaker 76 But they are great at winning.

Speaker 94 Right.

Speaker 120 Yeah, I guess you're right. You're right.

Speaker 76 Exactly what to do to win close games. What's the record against the spread this year? Bad.

Speaker 140 Really bad.

Speaker 58 I think it's like six or seven in a row that they've lost.

Speaker 94 Yeah.

Speaker 76 I mean, they just, they know how, if they get, like Big Kat said, if they get one break,

Speaker 50 they just capitalize on it.

Speaker 109 Were you impressed at all with the Chargers?

Speaker 168 No.

Speaker 18 And also, you were so happy when Justin Herbert, you thought his knee exploded?

Speaker 50 No, not at all.

Speaker 31 I had the Chargers

Speaker 50 rub it in my face.

Speaker 31 I was riding the Chargers. I drank the Kool-Aid.

Speaker 31 That overthrow was inexcusable, really.

Speaker 31 It was a good second half. It was a good comeback.

Speaker 31 I thought he was going to have a chance.

Speaker 31 They needed to make that third down stop. Justin Herbert needed to have a shot to at least win the game or whatever.

Speaker 31 But yeah, they, I mean, they stink. Like, they're just, they're bad.

Speaker 76 Right. So they're not, they're not.

Speaker 31 They might win one playoff game.

Speaker 76 The Chiefs are not a good team, but if it's at the end of the game and you need one drive to put you in a position to win the game, they're still a great team. Yeah.

Speaker 76 They might be the best team in the NFL in that scenario.

Speaker 98 Max can't find it, but I have it.

Speaker 53 Seven straight against the spread losses.

Speaker 143 Wow.

Speaker 116 Seven, including tonight.

Speaker 13 That's insane.

Speaker 31 How long are you going to keep the Chargers could win the Super Bowl charade going?

Speaker 144 I don't know if they can win the Super Bowl.

Speaker 66 I think they can win a playoff game, and then I'll probably cash out.

Speaker 174 One of my two futures.

Speaker 76 The entire reason behind this bet was for a cash out.

Speaker 62 No, I know.

Speaker 76 But also, you said that you probably wouldn't cash out.

Speaker 13 Well, I made two of them, so I'll definitely cash out one of them

Speaker 18 if they win a playoff game.

Speaker 25 It'll be after a playoff game.

Speaker 85 They got to win one playoff game, and then I will be like, yes, let's cash out.

Speaker 43 All right. Any other thoughts from

Speaker 86 week 14?

Speaker 44 I'm happy buys are gone.

Speaker 84 Yeah.

Speaker 135 We need to get back to, I think next week we have five games late.

Speaker 76 Ball's deep in football.

Speaker 19 And they're like really good games, too.

Speaker 110 And then we're going to get Saturday football soon.

Speaker 76 Saturday football is always nice. That's in a week.

Speaker 31 Xavier Legette cost us a great episode.

Speaker 42 Yeah, Xavier Legette.

Speaker 31 The Sickos should be upset with him.

Speaker 103 The Sickos should be very upset at Xavier Legette because Max was going to be prime, prime upset, especially after his rant about the Lions.

Speaker 38 It would have been great.

Speaker 88 Yep. It would have been great.

Speaker 76 They stole that from us.

Speaker 134 Yeah, next week we have

Speaker 42 Bills Lions,

Speaker 1 Steelers, Eagles.

Speaker 33 Early? No,

Speaker 131 all the good games are late.

Speaker 140 All the good games are late.

Speaker 18 Bills, Lions and Steelers, Eagles late.

Speaker 54 And Bucs Chargers, which will be...

Speaker 31 That's so fun.

Speaker 17 That's going to be fun. That's too fun.

Speaker 76 So fun.

Speaker 149 Fun-ass games.

Speaker 42 Those are some fun-ass games.

Speaker 76 You should make an acronym for it.

Speaker 76 The Eagles Commanders game that we talked about potentially being flexed to Monday night that Max and I were looking forward to. Yeah.

Speaker 112 Maybe.

Speaker 76 Turns out that's not a possibility of happening because

Speaker 76 their earlier matchup was on Amazon and the NFL has a rule where if Amazon has one game, then you can't take their second game away from Fox or CBS.

Speaker 5 Which I'm very happy about because I know you guys wanted to go to the game, but we need that game to be streamed and we need to be able to have an episode after it.

Speaker 18 Because Christmas week, we won't have a Wednesday episode, so if it went to Monday night, we would have just sat for like three days

Speaker 44 waiting to talk about it.

Speaker 98 Now we get to talk about it right away.

Speaker 94 Yep.

Speaker 99 And it could be significant.

Speaker 122 You got to beat the Saints. Got to beat the Saints.

Speaker 157 Got to beat the Saints. 1-0.
Got to beat.

Speaker 86 Got to go 1-0.

Speaker 76 Spencer Rattler.

Speaker 75 Yeah.

Speaker 47 All right. Let's do.

Speaker 176 The Pro Football Football Show is presented by the Chevy Silverado. Built for the hustle, ready for the game.
Chevy Silverado is America's most dependable full-size truck.

Speaker 176 Whether you're grinding through the week or gearing up for kickoff, the Silverado is one ride that's always game ready. Just like football, it's about grit, grind, and getting it done.

Speaker 176 Head to Chevy.com to learn more and build your own Chevy Silverado.

Speaker 68 So we're down to two.

Speaker 116 Max is clinched.

Speaker 34 PFT is still trying to clinch.

Speaker 16 We'll have two playoff teams on this podcast, possibly.

Speaker 161 Definitely.

Speaker 46 Got to beat the Saints.

Speaker 110 Oh, definitely. Thank you.
Shut the fuck up.

Speaker 122 So my rollback question is

Speaker 122 the two versus seven.

Speaker 16 How much have you guys thought about this?

Speaker 76 We first thought about that, I'd say, what, a month and a half ago? A month ago?

Speaker 162 The Rams.

Speaker 15 Okay.

Speaker 33 You're scared.

Speaker 75 He wants the Rams.

Speaker 10 I'm just... No, I'm not.

Speaker 11 I don't want the Rams, but we're.

Speaker 31 You should want the commies.

Speaker 64 I'm just asking.

Speaker 76 The Rams make me nervous.

Speaker 75 I'm just asking.

Speaker 122 2 vs. 7.

Speaker 156 I'm just asking

Speaker 99 because it's kind of...

Speaker 24 It's pretty much locked in that the Eagles are going to have the Eagles could obviously go to one, but they're not going to

Speaker 52 it would be very hard for them to go to three.

Speaker 117 They'd have to lose three out of their last four, and the Seahawks would have to win out.

Speaker 42 And the Commanders,

Speaker 103 they really can't, I mean, it'd be hard for them to go up to the six.

Speaker 76 I think. It's a collision course right now.
I think if we win three games, we would still be the seven seed, I think.

Speaker 62 Yeah, because the Packers are ahead of you.

Speaker 143 Yeah.

Speaker 96 So

Speaker 96 are we thinking about it?

Speaker 76 We're thinking about it. I welcome the challenge.

Speaker 50 The Rams are a really good football team.

Speaker 50 You could basically end his life.

Speaker 76 It's hard to beat a team three times in a year.

Speaker 136 You could basically end his life.

Speaker 9 What does that mean?

Speaker 76 That means we're probably going to win one of the next two.

Speaker 31 I don't know why you're scared, man.

Speaker 31 I would want the Commanders. The Commanders is like, it's just a layup.

Speaker 50 It's on your bulletin board.

Speaker 90 It's a layup.

Speaker 76 We're not even supposed to be here. We're not even a good team.
It's on your bulletin board.

Speaker 76 We haven't beaten a team that's above 500.

Speaker 76 Bulletin board.

Speaker 76 Bulletin board. You want us.

Speaker 64 We're a cupcake. Who would you?

Speaker 31 All right, Max, let me ask you this way.

Speaker 110 Yeah, why would you want to play the Rains?

Speaker 31 When the season ended today, who would you want to see in the playoffs in that 2-7 matchup? Best case scenario for you.

Speaker 9 In an outside world, it would be the Commanders.

Speaker 9 In this world, I don't want to see the Commanders in the playoffs.

Speaker 31 You can't. It's one world.

Speaker 33 I want the Eagles. It's all one world.
I'll just say it.

Speaker 76 I want the Eagles.

Speaker 62 Obviously.

Speaker 81 Right now, I'm a win-win for you, House Money.

Speaker 77 We're a year away from contending.

Speaker 81 You guys are good.

Speaker 74 Like, the Eagles are good.

Speaker 76 No, next year we're going to

Speaker 76 be good.

Speaker 99 Playoff team would be, by definition, at least good.

Speaker 131 Yeah, no one to your definition.

Speaker 76 Zero expenses.

Speaker 7 Not even to memes' definition.

Speaker 81 Right.

Speaker 76 I mean, for maximum heartbreak for Max.

Speaker 9 No, that's what I'm saying. Like, it's scary because it's just, like, the worst situation and would be such a bad loss for me.
And I see those losses so often.

Speaker 76 Well, hey, Max, by the way.

Speaker 9 But like the Eagles are objectively so much better than the Commanders.

Speaker 76 Objectively, so much.

Speaker 89 You guys aren't playing the game.

Speaker 76 Like Max, you just beat the Panthers today.

Speaker 50 Yes, kind of.

Speaker 76 You beat the Panthers today. Like, don't let anyone take away from that.

Speaker 81 You got smoked by the fucking Cowboys.

Speaker 76 We smoked the Panthers.

Speaker 9 That was also a different Panthers team.

Speaker 76 After we smoked them. We lit a fire into their asses.

Speaker 9 The Panthers are good now.

Speaker 75 Yeah. They are good.
They were bad. We're not good.

Speaker 9 The Bears beat the fuck out of the Panthers.

Speaker 25 We fucked them up.

Speaker 107 We fucked them up. Yeah.

Speaker 114 Matt Eberfluz, coach of the year.

Speaker 9 You guys are, yeah, you guys are good at

Speaker 9 beating up bad teams, and then as soon as you play a team above 500, you look horrible.

Speaker 76 No, that's not true. We lost by like one score to the Steelers, one point to the Steelers, and one score to the Ravens.
Well, you said horrible.

Speaker 50 Let's get a round of applause.

Speaker 76 I think we have different definitions of the word horrible.

Speaker 153 Means, did you have some stats that you compiled, anti-PFT commander stats?

Speaker 71 No, that was going to be my nerd nugget of the week on

Speaker 78 Thursday.

Speaker 150 With the Cardinals losing the commanders haven't beat a team over 500 this season.

Speaker 131 Oh.

Speaker 76 But they're only under 500 because we beat them.

Speaker 76 You're putting that loss out there.

Speaker 9 You're just playing teams

Speaker 133 because you sucked last year.

Speaker 50 That's how the NFL works.

Speaker 63 So that's why you should be excited to play that one. I know.

Speaker 9 But that's also why.

Speaker 9 I would lose because I lose these games.

Speaker 76 Listen, Max, we're not.

Speaker 168 You lose because of your attitude.

Speaker 168 That is your attitude.

Speaker 82 You You just said that I'm not playing in the game.

Speaker 9 Pick a side. I'm just.

Speaker 89 But like, you're not playing in the game.

Speaker 45 The matchup favors the Eagles, so you fucking root.

Speaker 31 Like,

Speaker 31 that's what your take is.

Speaker 57 You'd rather play the Commanders than the Rams.

Speaker 9 Outside of this world, yes.

Speaker 76 The Rams are a better team than us.

Speaker 91 Correct.

Speaker 175 Yes.

Speaker 63 Yeah, get your head out of your ass, Max.

Speaker 76 You're afraid of this world. Yeah, you are.

Speaker 9 Yes, I'm afraid of this world.

Speaker 50 I'm afraid of this fucking room.

Speaker 76 What room would we watch that in? That's an important one.

Speaker 86 I'm afraid of this room.

Speaker 50 We probably have to watch it in here.

Speaker 9 I will say that does make it.

Speaker 76 Max, you're going to smoke us in the playoffs.

Speaker 31 Smoke them. It will be such incredible.

Speaker 76 It's not even close. Your passing game's great.

Speaker 47 But I forgot to.

Speaker 55 I wrote down this, though, because we're talking about schedule.

Speaker 17 I am pumped to have a fourth place schedule again.

Speaker 87 That's the best. Yeah.

Speaker 129 When you get a fourth-place schedule, it's like we get to just play the bad teams from every other division.

Speaker 98 Nothing better.

Speaker 9 This guy would know.

Speaker 92 Yeah, it's great.

Speaker 76 Listen, the commanders this year, I don't know. Why do you keep bringing the commanders up, Max?

Speaker 96 I didn't even play this, dude.

Speaker 76 We're not a good team.

Speaker 69 We're a perfectly average team.

Speaker 76 I think that our offense is above average, but we're not supposed to be good this year. Yeah, it's a good thing.

Speaker 76 So if we make the playoffs, I mean, if we get a playoff win, that's like multiple seats. Oh, my God.

Speaker 76 Especially if it was the Eagle division rival.

Speaker 160 You'd have to plant a a flag in Max's seat.

Speaker 76 I would rather have that than even a Super Bowl this year. Just like beating the Eagles in the playoffs.

Speaker 139 I would go full Jack Sawyer on that shit.

Speaker 50 Is that his name?

Speaker 50 You get Mason. You should put a flag in the fucking seat.
I would not.

Speaker 10 No, I would. You would do that?

Speaker 75 You would do that?

Speaker 86 No, I would fight PFT.

Speaker 23 And I would pepper spray you.

Speaker 76 Pug would mason.

Speaker 15 Try to fucking do the play.

Speaker 76 Imagine Pug standing there with a big thing of pepper spray.

Speaker 60 Ready to go, Bear Mason.

Speaker 9 He actually does walk around with pepper spray everywhere he goes, so that makes sense.

Speaker 92 No way.

Speaker 50 I swear to God.

Speaker 73 Of course, he does.

Speaker 96 The cleaners were robbing us the other night.

Speaker 94 Oh, he's going to pepper spray him? Yeah.

Speaker 11 Well, this was Hank's fault.

Speaker 10 There were some.

Speaker 50 I mean, what?

Speaker 15 I don't know.

Speaker 75 I don't know.

Speaker 31 There was some crazy shit going down when I left the office last night, so I called and told them, and then I think I might have freaked them out. But it wasn't, I wasn't like trying to freak him out.

Speaker 31 It was who?

Speaker 143 Pug.

Speaker 9 Pug also pays for the citizen app to make sure that he gets.

Speaker 64 Oh,

Speaker 76 citizen premium.

Speaker 10 Oh, yeah, he's terrified.

Speaker 76 Yeah, nothing will scare you more than knowing the details of every crime that takes place anywhere near you. Yeah.

Speaker 9 In the city of Chicago.

Speaker 50 Yeah, that's good. The people who clean the building were going to rob us.
Oh, my God.

Speaker 39 He's got his bear me.

Speaker 73 I'm going to try to figure out a way to get mace by Pug.

Speaker 80 Why?

Speaker 13 I want to.

Speaker 17 Why? Because it'd just be funny.

Speaker 9 It's supposed to be like the most painful thing ever.

Speaker 44 I know, but it would be funny if we stacked some bugging on them.

Speaker 76 Do you want to do a mace bet? bet? No. Do you want to do a mace bet for the playoffs now?

Speaker 64 Yeah.

Speaker 50 Do you want to do a mace bet? Yes, yes.

Speaker 75 Why?

Speaker 75 It's a bonus bet.

Speaker 64 It's a bonus bet.

Speaker 62 I'm down for it if match.

Speaker 5 It also doesn't take, it's not like all of our other bets that it take forever.

Speaker 87 Like, you just do it right away, so you can just pay it off.

Speaker 120 Yeah, I'll agree.

Speaker 9 I would be the one that would have to shave my fat fucking face and get pepper sprayed.

Speaker 114 What do you mean you have to shave your fat face?

Speaker 50 I already had to do that.

Speaker 63 For what?

Speaker 63 What?

Speaker 74 Sixers are back. One, two in a row.

Speaker 94 Fake beat the bulls.

Speaker 31 That was like five years ago. Wait, what?

Speaker 86 Oh, yeah.

Speaker 69 Are you talking about the fucking

Speaker 50 soul patch?

Speaker 9 Yeah, that was like the worst punishment any of us have had.

Speaker 76 That was a pretty bad one.

Speaker 89 60 minutes of stand-up?

Speaker 81 I would have crushed that.

Speaker 76 Max, I'll shake on it right now. That's crazy.
Commanders, Eagles.

Speaker 9 You wouldn't.

Speaker 9 If you had the choice against maced.

Speaker 64 Six minutes of stand-up.

Speaker 50 Yeah, that's what I was doing. Yeah.
Yeah, you fucking liar.

Speaker 76 Come on, coward.

Speaker 50 What?

Speaker 175 Mace bet.

Speaker 152 No, I'm not doing the mace bet.

Speaker 81 We can't even get there. We're not even there yet.

Speaker 50 Let's talk about that.

Speaker 32 Let's talk about that more.

Speaker 33 You fucking sunk down.

Speaker 115 I had to piss so bad.

Speaker 148 What?

Speaker 50 You just pissed?

Speaker 67 Yeah, I just pissed right here.

Speaker 9 I can't see that. That's so gross, dude.

Speaker 128 What do you mean? I had to piss. It was going long.

Speaker 50 I was just pushing twice in the past week.

Speaker 76 I've been doing that for years, Max. Thanks for listening to part of my take.

Speaker 48 I sunk down so you couldn't see anything.

Speaker 76 All right, Macebat. I've jacked off during this week.
Done. Mace back.

Speaker 77 No.

Speaker 121 I'm jacking off right now.

Speaker 47 All right, let's do who's back of the week.

Speaker 53 We'll talk some college football as well.

Speaker 135 I'll do the bracket for my who's back.

Speaker 76 Hey, it's PFT here, reminding you that Boarshead makes game day entertaining elevated and effortless.

Speaker 76 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 76 My favorites like oven gold turkey or blazing buffalo-style chicken, paired with their classic Vermont cheddar or creamy Munster cheese, are sure to score big and help me elevate my entertainment every time, whether it's for a tailgate or a home gating celebration.

Speaker 76 Seriously, guys, it's a game-changing flavor for every gathering. Boarshead, committed to craft since 1905.

Speaker 7 Okay, who's back of the week? Henry.

Speaker 31 My who's back of the week is Timothy Chamalay. Yeah,

Speaker 31 Chamalet.

Speaker 31 Ballmower. Shamala.

Speaker 31 He was the guest picker on College College Game Day when they made the announcement earlier in the week. There was a lot of out not outrage, but a lot of chirping going on online being like

Speaker 31 it's the SEC championship big game, and we have a French-sounding actor. A French, someone with New York City,

Speaker 31 a championship actor from New York City as the guest picker. Like, how can we not do better?

Speaker 31 Then he went on stage and absolutely crushed it, Elite Ball Knower.

Speaker 44 Knows way more than Desmond Howard.

Speaker 31 Probably is listening to this podcast at some point.

Speaker 131 Probably listening right now.

Speaker 76 He's a sports freak.

Speaker 83 I think he actually, someone found out he's a listen to Simmons.

Speaker 43 He's a ringerhead.

Speaker 31 But that doesn't mean you can... There's both.

Speaker 114 If he listens to Rosillo, he probably has heard of us.

Speaker 31 Yeah, and I think, I mean,

Speaker 31 there's a lot of people that listen to both. Yeah.

Speaker 143 Yeah.

Speaker 76 Timothy, come on the podcast.

Speaker 54 Timothy, come on. Come stream again.

Speaker 62 Talk some ball.

Speaker 50 Yeah, he's

Speaker 50 like a joke.

Speaker 31 Do you think he is an actual ball knower? And I do, but there was some people saying he was just, you know, reading lines.

Speaker 64 A good actor?

Speaker 97 No, because someone else posted a picture of him when he was like 12 years old, waiting outside a Broadway play trying to get Amari

Speaker 39 Stademeyer to sign a Knicks jersey.

Speaker 139 I think he's a sports fan.

Speaker 114 Yes, he obviously, like, do I think he's watching Maxion?

Speaker 6 Maybe not, but I think he is a genuine sports fan.

Speaker 76 I love the fact that it was also outside of a play.

Speaker 110 Yeah.

Speaker 76 It's got the acting and the sports all in one.

Speaker 118 Look, Timothy Chalamet waited outside a Broadway show to get Amari Stademeyer's autograph when he was 14.

Speaker 2 It was awesome. Yeah, he did a good job.

Speaker 9 Memes just said he did a lot better than James Gaspicker.

Speaker 76 That's a good one, memes.

Speaker 76 That's a good one.

Speaker 63 Wait, how was he doing?

Speaker 31 Also, you got chirped at the

Speaker 31 picker with like had five seconds and

Speaker 31 he took his opportunity.

Speaker 2 I was just, I was actually, because I saw Max and Hank here on Saturday.

Speaker 27 I was here with my kids running around, hitting some wiffle balls.

Speaker 122 My son was hitting some dingers, Max.

Speaker 38 You would have lefty.

Speaker 139 And then I just started getting tagged in a tweet, and it was this kid who was kicking for $1.2 million.

Speaker 116 And McAfee was like, Do you know anything about field goal kicks?

Speaker 53 And he was like, Yeah, double doink, big cat.

Speaker 50 I was like, What the fuck?

Speaker 76 Did he make the kick? He missed it. Oh, that's a shame.
Yeah.

Speaker 113 Real shame.

Speaker 50 Also, I should have let a lawyer kick it.

Speaker 76 Also, Herb Street.

Speaker 156 Shout out that guy. He's probably in AWL.

Speaker 76 Not to get personal. Herb Street.

Speaker 31 The kid, the guy that said big cat?

Speaker 75 Yeah.

Speaker 76 He stinks at holding. Yeah.
Bad holder. I don't want to throw him under the bus, but he's a bad holder.

Speaker 87 Shout out that guy. Should have made the kick.

Speaker 152 He had two chances. Damn.

Speaker 173 And then Texas lost.

Speaker 76 What was Chalam's record?

Speaker 31 I don't know. I know he had Ohio.

Speaker 90 He picked Ohio.

Speaker 150 I don't think it ended up being that good.

Speaker 31 But he had the one graphic where everyone else picked against him.

Speaker 50 Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 123 And then Ohio won easily.

Speaker 122 Championship Saturday was pretty awesome.

Speaker 76 Pretty fun. He went four out of seven.

Speaker 96 That's pretty good.

Speaker 31 It's better than most of them. Us.

Speaker 67 We're so bad.

Speaker 76 Well, they're not picking against the spread.

Speaker 50 Yeah, but

Speaker 3 I don't know if I would win if I picked winners.

Speaker 76 Yeah.

Speaker 13 PFT, your who's back.

Speaker 76 My who's back of the week is feeling young.

Speaker 76 Big, I saw you tweet about this. We discussed it a little bit earlier, but there was a post online on X.com, The Everything App, It's All Happening on X, that was along the lines of Want to Feel Old.

Speaker 76 Jerome Bettis' son, Jerome Bettis Jr., has enrolled at Notre Dame. Yeah.
Jerome Bettis, he, I think, last played college football in 1992.

Speaker 157 His last NFL season was 2005.

Speaker 76 I think he's 52 years old. Yeah.
His son attending college lines up perfectly with that.

Speaker 45 He should be attending college.

Speaker 76 That's a want to feel young. And we got to bring back want to feel young's.
Yes. And along those same lines, Sean Taylor's brother just declared for the NFL draft.
His brother.

Speaker 149 That's awesome.

Speaker 76 Want to feel young.

Speaker 66 Want to feel young.

Speaker 76 He's declaring for the draft.

Speaker 86 Also want to feel young?

Speaker 53 Deion Sanders' son is going to declare for the NFL draft.

Speaker 76 That makes sense.

Speaker 164 Yeah.

Speaker 76 Makes perfect sense. Want to feel young? John Cena doesn't have kids.

Speaker 31 Want to feel young? You guys will be 55 when Juan Soto's contract expires.

Speaker 76 That's pre-making me feel old.

Speaker 135 Actually, that's not true.

Speaker 113 We'll be 54.

Speaker 96 We're not 40 yet, dude.

Speaker 76 I was 50, not 60, and you're right.

Speaker 132 And how old will you be?

Speaker 153 47.

Speaker 50 Oh, yeah.

Speaker 76 You're going to be so old, hang on.

Speaker 77 This makes me feel young.

Speaker 86 We're already old.

Speaker 34 You still got to get to it.

Speaker 31 Nah, No, I'm there.

Speaker 42 You know,

Speaker 50 we're good. No, I'm not.

Speaker 115 We're about to turn 40.

Speaker 34 You've been having a midlife crisis.

Speaker 84 Yeah.

Speaker 56 You wanted to buy a sick car.

Speaker 50 Still do.

Speaker 68 That's the quintessential sign of a midlife crisis is being like, I need a sick car.

Speaker 110 Yep.

Speaker 64 I'm looking forward to just being my age.

Speaker 50 That's a little too much.

Speaker 149 I'm looking forward to feeling old. Yeah.

Speaker 50 Yep.

Speaker 168 Sure is.

Speaker 163 I am dreading 40 just because I've done the math and I I definitely am over halfway.

Speaker 76 I'm not feeling that bad about it because I've mentally accepted. I've pretty much been 40 since I turned 38.

Speaker 9 Yeah. Do you think it's worth turning 40 or turning 30?

Speaker 64 30 was 40.

Speaker 94 40.

Speaker 87 30 was awesome.

Speaker 50 I loved 30.

Speaker 76 You still feel good when you turn 30. When you turn 40,

Speaker 76 like there's stuff, there's injuries that you've just accumulated on your body. Yeah.

Speaker 111 30 was a great age term because 30 is when you turn 30, one, you're young again because everyone was in their late 30s.

Speaker 129 You're like, oh, I'm not going to get there forever.

Speaker 36 Two, you're finally like an adult that people kind of respect because you're like, yeah, I'm 30.

Speaker 111 And then three,

Speaker 111 when you're 30, you can start like skipping out on things being like, yeah, I don't really want to do it.

Speaker 85 I'm 30.

Speaker 111 You can't be like, you can't be 25 and be like, no, I don't want to go out this weekend, guys.

Speaker 76 I'm tired. Yeah.
You can't say that.

Speaker 52 You can when you're in your 30s.

Speaker 76 You don't get tired.

Speaker 111 Right. 20s, you have no excuse.

Speaker 137 You got to go balls to the wall.

Speaker 111 30 is great. 30 was freeing.

Speaker 86 It was liberating.

Speaker 9 Memes and I both turned 30 this year.

Speaker 50 30 to be like fucking bricks.

Speaker 6 We got to get some young blood in here yeah we gotta get a young we're gonna get a we're gonna get a we're gonna do it right this year we're gonna get an intern early in the summer so we're gonna do it how old is jack

Speaker 31 25 okay all right we gotta get some young blood my issues though when i started working here i was 19 and that's just like the the as i get older it's like i still feel like i'm living and it is this job is you know a young man's job it feels like you know we're doing shit when i'm 19 but i'm 30 wait i thought you were 18, your first

Speaker 153 Tom McShea video was 18. 19.

Speaker 11 19.

Speaker 50 Okay, and how old are you?

Speaker 33 31.

Speaker 15 Okay.

Speaker 16 So we still got a few years for me to say that I've known you for half your life.

Speaker 76 Yes. Hank, if you woke up tomorrow and Barstall was just not a thing, like it had never been a thing, but you are unemployed, you wake up and you have to find a job.
What do you do?

Speaker 17 I think you'd find a job.

Speaker 31 You know that I would try.

Speaker 86 Produce the number one sports podcast.

Speaker 35 Yeah.

Speaker 31 No, I'd probably buy like a van and just drive around the country for a little bit.

Speaker 76 Yeah. Figure it out.
That's sick.

Speaker 152 Everyone here would be good except memes because he's not.

Speaker 127 Memes would be great.

Speaker 50 People would be like, whoa.

Speaker 31 And you'd need references.

Speaker 42 Are you going to fight me in this interview?

Speaker 76 Memes,

Speaker 76 if you want to, I'll just suck with us for life and the most glowing letter of recommendation ever. I'll do it right now if you want one right now.
I'm okay.

Speaker 64 You sure? Literally do it.

Speaker 127 He's going to leave for Gruden in a second.

Speaker 11 Oh.

Speaker 158 But

Speaker 134 you'd have to fight Gruden.

Speaker 85 Gruden would like that.

Speaker 154 He'd be like, feats of strength kind of thing.

Speaker 13 Let's fight. All right,

Speaker 87 My Who's back.

Speaker 137 Let's talk about the college football playoff real quick.

Speaker 109 So we have the college football playoff.

Speaker 67 Alabama got left out.

Speaker 160 I feel no remorse for Alabama.

Speaker 114 I thought there was a chance they were going to sneak him in.

Speaker 59 I still think they would have snuck him in if SMU did not come back in that game.

Speaker 174 It was basically the perfect way for SMU to lose in a walk-off bomb of a field goal after coming all the way back.

Speaker 28 But

Speaker 101 I don't really care about the teams that are left out.

Speaker 129 It's like March Madness.

Speaker 44 We have, I don't know, an hour for me to feel bad, and then I'm like, I'm excited for more football.

Speaker 76 No, you can't feel bad for Alabama. No.
Because you can just say to Alabama, you lost to Oklahoma.

Speaker 73 Well, and the big thing with Alabama fans, which I do not understand, they keep saying, get ready for us to schedule the weakest non-conference opponents possible.

Speaker 111 They lost all three of their games in the conference.

Speaker 109 Their three losses were Vanderbilt, Oklahoma, Oklahoma, and

Speaker 42 Tennessee.

Speaker 110 Yeah, you beat Wisconsin.

Speaker 62 Yeah.

Speaker 76 They kicked the shit out of you. But the non-conference was not the issue.
I don't think it was the issue for anyone.

Speaker 110 No.

Speaker 64 That's on the outside looking at you.

Speaker 104 No, yeah, I don't think so.

Speaker 76 You just have to win the games that you should win. Like, they were favored by, I think, 21 points against Oklahoma.
Yeah. And I think they lost by 21 points to Oklahoma.

Speaker 50 Yeah.

Speaker 76 No, it's a pretty big deal.

Speaker 16 The only team that you could say the non-conference was maybe a problem was Clemson just because they had to play Georgia the first game, South Carolina the last game.

Speaker 27 They lost both those games.

Speaker 147 If they had not won the ACC championship game, they wouldn't have been in.

Speaker 114 So you could make the argument they could have scheduled cupcakes and had one loss and been in.

Speaker 76 Yeah. Also, shout out to Dabo Swinney.

Speaker 60 Yeah.

Speaker 76 After the game. Zombie.
After the game, he gets on the mic, and the first thing that he says is SMU should be in the playoff, too. Yeah.
Like right away.

Speaker 76 They said that that was the loudest cheer that went up from Clemson, probably because they already knew that they were in.

Speaker 76 So they weren't going to give themselves a giant cheer, but when they found out that SMU was also going to make it,

Speaker 86 they're very happy about it.

Speaker 147 I really don't, I don't, I care for like maybe two seconds, and then it's like, all right, let me look at the bracket because the bracket is awesome.

Speaker 34 They're going to have to tweak it. It should be the four best teams get a buy because it's definitely a little lopsided.

Speaker 37 And it brings us to Penn State getting a dream draw, which, I mean, they have to, I think they're heavy favorites over SMU.

Speaker 136 They'd probably be heavy favorites over Boise State.

Speaker 65 And so they could theoretically be heavy favorites in both their first two games and get to the semis.

Speaker 20 Whereas Oregon, who is the best team in the country, who's the only undefeated team in the tournament, has to play either Tennessee or Ohio State in the second round, which you could make the argument both those teams are not seeded correctly and should be seeded at five and six.

Speaker 76 It's crazy that this is the way that it shook out. But first of all, Max, congratulations on finishing second place in the Big Ten.
Yes. Big deal.
That was huge.

Speaker 76 And if you had won won that game, you would have been fucked, maybe.

Speaker 164 Yeah.

Speaker 112 Defense of Penn State was so bad.

Speaker 92 Yeah, they did Rowler, very good.

Speaker 17 It was tough with that linebacker saying Big Ten bully on his eye level.

Speaker 91 Oh, they kept showing it.

Speaker 9 They kept showing it, and then they kept.

Speaker 34 Dylan Gabriel would just do that.

Speaker 38 Dylan Gabriel is so good at running right up to the line of scrimmage and then throwing a dart.

Speaker 34 Every time I think he's going to take off, and he just throws it right at the line of scrimmage.

Speaker 130 Big Ten bully.

Speaker 91 But now, if Penn State loses either of these first two games, it's James Franklin.

Speaker 76 It'd be like losing to Washington in the playoffs. Yeah.

Speaker 34 And Georgia, I know that everyone keeps saying, like, so Georgia's the two seed.

Speaker 65 Everyone's like, oh, well, Georgia is not Georgia.

Speaker 17 I understand that.

Speaker 38 Georgia has lost four games, I think, in the last four years, and three of them, three of the four are to Alabama.

Speaker 27 And Alabama's not in this bracket.

Speaker 135 And I know Carson Beck is hurt,

Speaker 76 which might be a good thing. Yeah, their backup might be better.
Actually, the real question is, how injured is their punter? Yeah. Because their punter is a fucking monster.
Yeah.

Speaker 50 Yeah.

Speaker 42 And I'm just excited.

Speaker 34 I think it's going to be great.

Speaker 99 I do think there's obviously some flaws in this system, but I don't care.

Speaker 42 I'm excited for football.

Speaker 16 I think there'll be an upset we don't think about.

Speaker 27 I think Arizona State's one of those teams that is so hot right now, and they were 11-1 with their starting quarterback.

Speaker 13 Why can't they go on a little run?

Speaker 92 Scataboo.

Speaker 21 Yeah, Scataboo's fucking awesome.

Speaker 121 Notre Dame.

Speaker 76 Yeah, Marcus Freeman said that he had to look up Kurt Signature.

Speaker 175 He Google him. He said, I googled him.
Yeah.

Speaker 92 And he wins. Yep.

Speaker 164 Yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 42 We got an in-state.

Speaker 106 We we got this Indiana going up against each other.

Speaker 76 It does rock that we're going to get to see playoff games in home environments. Yeah.
That's going to be very cool. It's going to be incredible.

Speaker 106 You guys have any

Speaker 7 issues with it?

Speaker 88 I mean, Memes a Georgia fan.

Speaker 150 Only issue I have with it is that Boise State's number three.

Speaker 162 I just

Speaker 10 hate it.

Speaker 110 I thought you were an Ashton Genti guy.

Speaker 102 I am.

Speaker 96 How scared were you on Friday?

Speaker 53 I wasn't scared. I was more just.

Speaker 20 Listen, the Ashton Genti bot army has made it very ugly.

Speaker 150 But when he jumped up to plus 400 in that first half,

Speaker 106 they have made it very ugly.

Speaker 73 They just keep repeating, oh, snaps aren't stats.

Speaker 45 And just like completely erase the fact that he's playing two positions at a very high level.

Speaker 76 Stamina. Yeah.
All he's good at is stamina. Yeah.

Speaker 58 And then we and then we just say, like, we've never seen Ashton Genti before, and we have.

Speaker 17 His name was Melvin Gordon.

Speaker 39 Or Kevin Smith or Barry Sanders.

Speaker 31 So do you guys want to go pick national champions or Wednesday?

Speaker 68 We can do Wednesday.

Speaker 79 Fill out your whole bracket?

Speaker 68 We can do Wednesday.

Speaker 85 Oregon's really good.

Speaker 139 We keep saying no one's good.

Speaker 167 Oregon went undefeated.

Speaker 76 Ohio State might be good, too.

Speaker 114 I'm so curious about Ohio State because it does feel

Speaker 106 like I think they could win it all.

Speaker 46 That game should be in Tennessee.

Speaker 31 Yeah.

Speaker 64 That's my.

Speaker 6 Well, no, Ohio State should be the sixth seed.

Speaker 31 Just for vodes, though. Or the fifth seed.

Speaker 56 Ohio State has a better resume.

Speaker 60 I mean, they beat Penn State head-to-head.

Speaker 50 I don't know.

Speaker 56 Seems like they should get a little bit of a.

Speaker 28 I mean, they played on the field.

Speaker 129 I think Ohio State could either win it all or they could come out and just be like a completely dead team.

Speaker 76 Totally flat against Tennessee. Yeah.

Speaker 21 Yeah, that absolutely could happen.

Speaker 94 Oh, yeah.

Speaker 53 Kirby Smart ripping Greg Sankey to his face was so funny, even though this is just my favorite part about college football because this is, I mean, it's the Ashton Jenny thing.

Speaker 133 Obviously, I'm biased.

Speaker 56 Well, I'm unbiased, but everyone has their wars and they fight to the death about it.

Speaker 53 Kirby Smart saying they put us on the road all these times.

Speaker 5 They played eight games in the state of Georgia.

Speaker 50 Yeah.

Speaker 76 They did play the hardest teams possible

Speaker 76 outside of Georgia.

Speaker 105 This is the problem with the new super conferences.

Speaker 106 They've got to figure out a more balanced schedule, but we all knew it going into it, and they'll figure it out maybe going forward.

Speaker 76 What did you think of the setup that they had for the college football playoff committee?

Speaker 76 I didn't see a buffet. Yep.
I didn't see

Speaker 76 any wings. Nobody was drinking beer.

Speaker 31 A lot of jeans.

Speaker 76 They don't represent the true football fan out there.

Speaker 76 Was it Ward Manuel who was drinking Perrier water?

Speaker 64 Yep.

Speaker 76 Michigan. Disgusting.
Disgusting.

Speaker 13 Disgusting.

Speaker 17 Also, shout out Kirk Herbstreet's son for committing to Michigan.

Speaker 90 Yes.

Speaker 84 Very cool.

Speaker 76 Very, very cool.

Speaker 31 Also, shout out Kyle Long. Why?

Speaker 31 He did a fucking a man tonight.

Speaker 64 Oh, he did? Oh, no. Woody Sweet.

Speaker 31 Fucking a Man. Oh.

Speaker 76 Did he delete it?

Speaker 31 Ah, he edited it. Yeah.

Speaker 15 Let me look this up.

Speaker 94 I got tagged a bunch, but.

Speaker 137 Oh, that's so funny.

Speaker 31 He tweeted

Speaker 31 fucking a man. The Chiefs can't catch a break.
