We start in Atlanta where the Falcons had a tough time defending against Rico Chargers as Dowdle scored a touchdown. Meanwhile, young thug Kirk Cousins looked like prime Jimmy Guapolo throwing for three touchdowns.
the Cowboys were forced to call on their backup quarterback as Prescott

hurt his hammy, but it was too little too late as Cooper Rush did his best to be a modern-day warrior with a mean, mean stride, but fell short, leaving his fat coach to smash a tablet after the menu wouldn't load. Falcons 27.
Cowboys 21.

What? What?

We go up to the Meadowlands where Dan, all I do is quinn, quinn, quinn, no matter what, had Washington rolling. And the team was looking animated as, hi, I'm Troy McLaurin.
You may remember me from such films as the one-yard touchdown reception and the ten-yard touchdown reception. Not even a day ball of coke can save Wall Street As another Black Monday is imminent

After Daniel Dow Jones continues to crash. The Commander is 27, the G-Men 22.
Over to Western New York, where Amari Alex Cooper was ruled out pregame, but the Bills still had enough for the Dolphins to call Josh Allen daddy. The Bills started slow in the first half, but found a groove when Ray Charles Davis made the Dolphins secondary look blind on a way to a 63-yard score.
The game came down to the wire, but Tyler, what you gonna do with all that base on special teams? Hit a 61-yarder, and no one circles the wagons like the buffalo bills bills 30 dolphins 27 we go we go down to baltimore where the ravens said let's get recorded let's get recorded and here hey hey as patrick scored a touchdown to boat race the broncos tractor seat though ran for 100 big TDOs. The Ravens sit at 6-3-0.
RIP the bridge Francis Caquillo. He shoves it down Sean Payton's pee hole.
Track Dorcito. Ravens 41.
The Broncos 10. We head on to Philadelphia where Max was on the scene.
Saigon Barkley was rumbling, bumbling and stumbling and then he hit him with an all-time 180 over the head of the Jags defender. Finally, Jahan Fregotson reminded Eagles fans that he's on the roster after he had one of the biggest catches of the game.
Zach Bonvoyoz was all over the field and looked like he was going to easily bid adieu to the Jags offense. But after a roaring comeback, it was N'Kobe Jimmy Dean who risked it to get the biscuit and came down with a game-sealing interception.
Eagles 28, Jags 23. Thanks, Max.
Over to Nashville with the boy, Henry Lockwood. Down to Nash Vegas.
Mason Rudolph, the backup QB, backed up and threw a nine-yard pass, which was complete to Nick No-No Vanette for a touchdown. Past fans were thrilled their rookie QB was back from a concussion protocol and said, we love the Drake after a second-quarter.
The teams traded field goals before Nick, Russell, Westbrook, a quinoa salad momentarily gave the Titans a seven-point lead and an overtime interception sealed the loss for the Patriots. And they were heard saying, actually, we hate the Drake, but at least he isn't the Caleb.
Titans win 20 to 17. That was hurtful, Henry.
In Carolina. So what? We lose games.
So what? We suck ass. We're just having fun and we don't care who sees.
So what? Our owner's a dick. That's how it's supposed to be.
We're living Bryce Young and wild and free. Derek Carmelo Soprano was playing with a newfound furio

After calling himself a psychopath this week

But it was too little too late

As the Panthers practice anti-Dennis Allen discrimination

Further cementing him as the worst coach of all time

The Panthers win a football game

Huh? Huh? Huh?

The Panthers?

The Panthers win a football game

Panthers 23, Saints 22

I'm out. a football game.
Huh? Huh? Huh? The Panthers? Panthers win a football game. Panthers 23, Saints 22.
We go to the frozen tundra of Green Bay where Jameer Jameer are on the wall. Who's the fairest of them all as the Lions came into the frozen tundra wearing their snow white uniforms making Packers fans look sleepy, grumpy, and dopey.
Kentucky Kirby Joseph got on his horse and galloped home for a pick-six to end the half, while Brian Branch Davidians took on the Green Bay TF and got lost getting kicked out. But it didn't end up mattering as the Lions answered the Cam Bell yet on the way to an easy win.
The Lions 24, the Packers 14. Standing on a corner, Jameis Winston, Cuyahoga, such a fine sight to see.
It's a pick, my lord, lord Add another That makes three Jake Darvins played sick The Browns are basic James thought his coach was black Till he got lasik The Chargers Browns 10. And that was the fastest two minutes for week nine.
Hey, it's Rhea from Tricks in the Office. It's officially mini skort season.
And Abercrombie has the ones to go out in. Their Scarlet Mini is a classic.
It's one of those skirts that fits the outfit vibe for any plans. And I'm excited to style their new Sienna skort.
It's a little more flirty and it's perfect for date night. Make plans to go out in Abercrombie, shop their newest arrivals in store and online.
All right, week nine in the books. We're finishing up Vikings Colts, Sunday night football.
There was a second there where I thought Sam Darnold was turning back into a pumpkin, but he seems to have righted the ship momentarily. So we'll update this at the end.
But were you getting nervous too? A little bit. He looked a little bit spooked.
He looked a little pumpkin-y. He was spooked.
It was like seeing ghosts again for a moment. He also did get hit in the face on another sack.
They don't respect. The NFL doesn't like his face.
I think it's that he's got such a large head. Yeah.
That they're like, it's almost like you're asking, well, what was he wearing? Did he want to get hit in the face? Yeah, it's free reign on Sam Darnold's helmet at all times. Was he asking for it? Back-to-back weeks.
But, yeah, we will update that game after we finish everything else. Let's hop into week nine.
So last week we had an incredible witching hour, insane games. This week it didn't feel like there were a ton of drama.
Was Hank right? Hank might have been right. Was Hank right about the games this weekend? They were games.
Which game did he specifically Cowboys-Falcons? That was a fun game still still Was it? Yeah, it was still fun to watch Kirk Cousins go crazy He was going crazy We had like two decent games today Yeah, it wasn't the best Sunday But that's okay because we love every Sunday We hold it and cherish it and love it And kiss it and smooch it And have it sit on our lap And fondle it. Yeah.
Take showers with it. Yeah.
Cuddle it. Little spoon.
I'd like to make Sunday my little spoon every single Sunday. All right.
Let's hop in the games. Bills 30, Dolphins 27.
This was probably the closest best game early. Josh Allen and Sean McDermott and the Buffalo Bills continue to be the Miami Dolphins' daddy.
Sean McDermott's now 15-2 against the Dolphins. And this was the Bills' kind of MO this year where they start slow.
They've actually been trailing in five games at halftime this year. They started slow, and then they woke up in the second half with a fumble that kind of changed the game when they punched out the ball of Mostert.
And then Ray Davis' long touchdown, and Josh had 156 yards and three touchdowns in the second half. And they held off a frisky Dolphins team.
Yeah, the Dolphins looked alive today. Josh had an incredible touchdown pass.
That's when it was, okay, he's your daddy. Right.
He is father, and he's going to score whether you like it or not. There's nothing you can do about it.
He was falling over, getting hit by like two guys, and then just lobs a nice, easy, soft, catchable ball into the end zone. Like most other quarterbacks, if they get hit like that, they might fumble.
They might hit the ground and hurt their shoulder. Josh is just like, okay, I'm just going to push the buttons, and this is easy for me because I believe I can beat the Dolphins because I've done it a million times in the past.
Yeah, 15-2. That's pretty crazy.
That's ownership at a different level. The Dolphins, they're frisky.
I'm going to stick with the Dolphins being frisky. They don't know how to close games.
I think they've lost their last three games by a total of 10 points. Their offense looks like it's somewhat back.

Tua looks okay.

They just don't know how to close games. They score to tie the game, and you're like, oh, man,

the Dolphins are going to maybe be able to pull this out.

And then they had the back-to-back.

It was the Chop Robinson penalty and then the Jordan Poyer penalty.

And then Sean McDermott deserves credit for this

because Tyler Bass has not been great. Tyler ass.
He missed an extra point today. He doinked one.
I think he missed a couple extra points last week or the week before. He has had maybe the yips whatever you want to call it and Sean McDermott was like you know what I'm gonna fucking trust him with a 61 yarder which if he misses that kick the Dolphins I believe had one maybe two timeouts I think they had two because I think they used one to ice him uh the Dolphins can basically turn around get 20 yards and try to kick a game winner themselves yeah that was a pretty risky thing to do so Sean McDermott gets credit for trusting his kicker which I don't know if I would have trusted my kicker in that spot that's awesome because we will give him credit for trusting his kicker uh if he had missed that field goal oh we'd be like Sean McDermott you're you belong in prison for that I think the guy missed an extra point why are you gonna send him out there for a 61 yarder I think as he was lining up I was like this is psycho because it really was like when you have a 61 yarder you're just looking at the field you're like if he misses this this the dolphins get need a first down to try their own 61 yard and people always say like you know like if your coach doesn't get something and you're like well if he if it would have worked we would have been praising him for making the right call we need to do more of the opposite yeah where we we talk just about how bad of a decision it was because it didn't work out the way that we thought that it was yeah but hey listen yeah no it was a 61 yarder and it probably would have been good from 70 yeah he hit the dick off that ball that was it was very very impressive and and now you get a kicker who might have some confidence back which is also like as a nice free agent acquisition Tyler Bass gets the game ball uh the bills are absolutely rolling and even in a game where it's like it did feel for a little bit watching that game.
Cause they w they were sleepwalking the first half. They had that.
They had one good drive that Keon Coleman, the ball goes off his hands and, and picked in the red zone. And you're like, are the bills going to lose this game? No, no, no, no.
The bills are not going to lose this game. And the bills are seven and two.
And the second best team in the AFC East is three and six. That's pretty crazy that they have it wrapped up this early.
Congratulations to the New York Jets who are in second place in the AFC East. That's huge.
That's huge. That's a big game for memes.
That's enormous. So, back.
Almost back. Almost back.
Second place is pretty good. There also should be, I don't want to be the one to start the conversation, other people have started the conversation Josh Allen should definitely be in the MVP conversation Oh he is in the conversation Yeah But he should be very much in it I think if you look at the odds It's like Lamar 250 And then Josh is like 280 And Lamar probably should win it again Because he's been insane But so is Josh Yeah Josh has been really good too The Dolphins I would say there are so many teams that have two wins right now.
I think there are nine NFL teams that have two wins, which doesn't seem mathematically possible, does it? No. To have nine teams.
Some of them are two and seven. Some are two and six.
But there are nine teams that have two wins. I think the Dolphins are by far the best two-win team in the NFL.
Dolphins, the best two-win team.

To be the best two-win team?

Yeah.

You think that's bad?

You'd rather be the worst two-win team?

PFT, definitely.

The Titans beat them.

Yeah, but that was a different team.

True.

Titans, I can't quit the Titans.

And Jameis?

Yeah, the Browns are also a different team.

I would say the Browns and the Dolphins,

if we're playing the two-win Super Bowl. I think it would be Dolphins one seed.
Big or by? No, no, it's a Final Four. Okay, got it.
So it's Dolphins one seed, Browns two seed, Titans three seed. So it's Browns, Titans in the first round, and I think it's the Jaguars in the fourth seed.
Okay, yeah. So Dolphins versus Jaguars, Browns versus Titans.

Okay.

I think the Dolphins win that game now.

I think the Dolphins beat the Jaguars.

Yeah, I think I have the Browns versus the Dolphins

in the championship game for the two-win teams.

For the best two-win team in the NFL.

Make this a tournament.

That might be a pick-em.

Put it on a Tuesday night.

Yeah.

Give it to us instead of election coverage.

We have an action. Kill the two-man.
Yeah. I would watch this.
The Tuber Bowl. The Tuber Bowl.
And then just missing the Tuber Bowl, I would say, is the Giants. They were the first one out.
Yeah, yeah. They were the one that Lenardi's like, hey, look, they don't have enough on their resume.
The Patriots played like five games without Drake May. I feel like they aren't getting enough credit.
Different team. A higher quality two-win team.
You lost to the Titans today. You just lost to a two-win Titans team.
You gave the Titans entry into the two-win club. If you didn't want them in there, you should have kept them out.
Who was your other winner? You beat the Dolphins, right? No. Jets.
They beat the Jets. I know they beat the Jets, but did they beat them? Week one, they beat the Beng.
Oh, yeah. So you didn't beat – so you lost the Dolphins.
So, I mean, that's – I mean, if we're looking at it, if we're doing the Lenardi bracketology – I think the Giants – Although you can make the argument that the Giants did beat the Browns. I think the Giants have the best strength of schedule.
The Giants do have a tough strength of schedule. No, I think if you look at the win percentage, I think the Giants, of all the two-win teams, it's like they're number one.
They play the gauntlet. Yeah, that's what you get for making your schedule.
You try to play competitive games, and Lenardi doesn't give you that respect. They're like the 2014, I want to say, Arkansas Razorbacks when Brett Bielema, they won like six games, but they were maybe the best six-win team out there.
Yeah. Because they were playing everyone in the SEC and just playing everyone to like a 13-12 loss.
Yeah, but to the think that they i mean they hung in this game they could have very easily won this game the dolphins are frisky i think they'll be spoiled their official spoiler i don't know if they're gonna sell they probably should sell like what does jalen waddle do he showed up out of nowhere in the second half of this game yeah and then he had to minus like what did yeah so here's what happened on the last play because right when this happened that was so funny i turned to jerry and i go oh my god what was to his passing yards over under for today uh his prop was 243 and a half yards that was the over under yeah he had 254 yards with five seconds left in the game He He passed to Jalen Waddle. Jalen Waddle ran backwards.
Yeah. For negative, or sorry, it got pitched to Jaden Waddle.
He did not pass. Jalen Waddle, yeah.
But he threw a complete pass down the field, and then it got pitched to Jalen Waddle, who ran backwards. For 16.
Minus 24 yards. So Jalen Waddle finished his stats today was two catches, minus four yards, one touchdown.
Pretty crazy. That doesn't seem physically possible.
No, that doesn't. That's how it happened, and so two is over under, did not hit because of Waddell running backwards.
Yeah, I feel like the Dolphins should – it's a wasted season. You know you're not going into the playoffs.
You have some talented guys in the roster. Maybe the Chiefs don't want another wide receiver now, but they still could use one, right? I think they said they're not done.
If I were a 2-7 GM, I would just be trying to get as many draft picks as possible. Yeah, and this is what I don't know about Waddle because he's been MIA in a lot of games.
I don't know if he has lost a step or if they're just not targeting him at all. No two of her.
No two of her was a big deal. Yeah.
But I don't know. I don't know if Waddle is – he's still got the elite touchdown celebration.
Yeah. Yeah, he had – week one he had a huge monster game, and then since then it's been, everything's been under 50 yards.
And he's averaging like, he gets like four catches a game. So he's not totally invisible, but I would, I'd start trading everyone.
And even the announcers are going through the same things that you're going through at home when you're watching the Dolphins play. When Tua took off to scramble for that first down.
Who was the play-by-play guy? Kevin Harlan, I believe. That was Kevin Harlan, yes.
Kevin Harlan, I think he said, like, oh, no, like during the middle of the play because Tua's running with the ball. They're feeling the same emotions that you are watching him run, just like bad things might happen on this play.
But he looked good today. I had a moment.
Yeah, I mean, the Dolphins are frisky, and they will play spoiler, and they will probably win a game that they're not supposed to win late in the season and fuck someone else's schedule up. I'm trying to look right now.
Ooh, maybe at Green Bay. That could fuck someone.
That's going to be cold. Never mind.
Yeah. Maybe, like, the Jets or the Texans.
That's a game they could win and just fuck everyone's schedule up. But yeah, the Bills are rolling.
I don't – the Bills are – right now it feels like the AFC is just a lot of trash or figuring it out and then the Bills, the Ravens, and the Chiefs. I like that there's a nice understood order of operations at the top of the AFC though.
Yeah. Because you got the Chiefs obviously number one because guess what? guess what? They beat the Ravens.
Ravens, obviously, at number two, because guess what? They beat the Bills. So there's not a whole lot of debate that you can have.
I think that the Bills and the Ravens are both really, really good teams, and I think either team could beat the Chiefs, but I think that the Ravens obviously have the Bills' number for some reason. There's one person that's going to get very mad at us for this conversation.
The Steelers are technically at the top of the AFC North. I think the Steelers...
The Steelers are very good. I put a future on them...
They should be in there. ...last Monday to win the Super Bowl.
But yeah, the AFC, yeah, the Bills, the Ravens, and the Chiefs. If you told me...
If you gave me... I mean, it would be a dumb bet, but if you're like one of those three teams to the Super Bowl, yeah, sign me up.
That's going to happen, it feels like. Okay, next game, the game that Hank shat all over, the Falcons 27, the Cowboys 21.
Hank, I know that you weren't excited about this game, but this game gave us many different things to take away. One, Bijan is awesome, 150 yards from the line of scrimmage he was or 145 yards he was awesome two is that like new information no but it's nice to see like every game that Bijan goes off it's kind of it's like nice to see because we spent all last year being like when is Bijan gonna go off and now it's like he's arrived and he's so fucking shifty and so awesome and elusive.
When he gets in space, you just know that he's going to make a guy miss. I think what Big Cat's saying is it's really good for all the mock draft people out there.
It's just like this guy's different. I'm a Bijan guy.
I like him. I'm a fan of him, and I like to see him do well.
so every time he does well i'm like yes that confirms

that i am like it's okay to be excited about a guy who last year felt like he was not being used properly yeah uh two we got dak saying on the sideline we fucking suck that was pretty funny yep uh three mike mccarthy smashing the tablet uh that was very funny did the tablet say something about his brother? I don't know. Might have.
He called him a slur? Yeah. Or, yeah, maybe wrote an article about him.
We got a lot of Philly things to talk about later. Phyllis, is it gay to date a pop star? Apparently.
Actually, maybe. Yeah, outside of a Penn State game, yeah.
Three, four, four. Pam Oliver got a jersey from Steven and Jerry Jones.

I don't know why.

It's journalism, baby.

I still don't know why.

I was trying to figure out why.

They stopped.

I don't think they stopped the game, but in the broadcast,

they showed Pam Oliver getting a jersey.

Were they trying to sign her?

I don't know if they were trying to sign her.

I don't know if they could afford her right now.

But I do think that for whatever reason, this is a move that you do when you're trying to get somebody to retire yeah think about it if they're still working they're pushing her out the door you're having like a retirement party for i don't think that has she said anything about retiring i don't think so i don't know max memes can you look that up why did they get is it just because she does fox yeah fox she's been doing the cowboys she's been doing it for a while. Yeah.
I couldn't figure it out. That was very weird, but that was kind of cool, Hank.
Five. I don't know what number I'm on.
Rico Dattles' touchdown was sick. Yeah, it was.
That was a sick touchdown. Yeah, I looked for the same stuff, and I couldn't figure out.
They gave her a jersey. Either Jerry knows something about her retiring, or this is Jerry being like, we need to get her off the sidelines for some reason.
I bet you Pam Oliver has a lot of dirt on the Cowboys organization. This could also be Jerry taking a shot at those guys he yelled at on the radio, being like, see if you're a journalist.
This is how we treat you. I respect you.
I won't hit you with a CD's nuts joke yeah uh yeah this game was uh i i enjoyed watching this game it had a lot i'll give you another thing that we can take away from this game something fun yeah uh the falcons reminded us that you cannot commit pass interference on a fake punt oh so the cowboys tried a very sad fake punt yes and threw it towards their gunner who got thrown down to the ground the ball probably should have been picked off in return for six but it wasn't um but it was a nice reminder that you if it's the the last guy closest to the sideline and they run a fake punt you can do whatever you want to them yeah it's all legal uh yeah that it was that it was the the sad fake punt and then it was also the fourth down end round with cd lamb yeah that lost like 15 yards uh the cowboys are ass they are complete ass that's also fun hank watching the cowboys be ass uh the falcons are good this was a good win for the falcons kirk cousins i think if you looked at his stats this year he was like the greatest quarterback of all time against the bucks and then and then okay, like average to below average

against everyone else.

So it was good that he beefed up his resume against someone not named the Bucs.

Yeah, well, this is the highest back-to-back quarterback rating for any quarterback ever

in Falcons history.

Wow.

What Kirk has done the last two weeks.

The Falcons are good.

They still got to figure out their pass rush situation.

They did get three sacks today.

It is shocking. MVP quarterback.
Are we having the conversation? I'm saying that's better than Matt Ryan. Oh, yeah.
Yeah, Matt Ryan did win an MVP. That's true.
I was thinking for a second. I was like, Michael Vick did win an MVP? He should have.
We should have talked about this on Friday. This is the matchup of Kirk Cousins versus the black Kirk Cousins.
Yeah, sure. Remember when Amari Cooper called Dak Prescott that? Was Amari Cooper actually giving Dak Prescott the best compliment he's ever received in his life? I think so.
Because that would be an honor. Because I take Kirk Cousins over Dak every day of the week.
Yeah. And, I mean, the Cowboys are bad.
I have a question. So good win for the Falcons.

I actually do think the Falcons are good.

I'm worried about the Drake London injury because he came out of the game

after scoring a touchdown.

He's very important.

And, again, their defense has to round into form a little bit more.

The Cowboys ran the ball.

The Cowboys don't run the ball, and they ran the ball very well.

Zeke is just – I don't even know what's happening.

He just doesn't go to meetings anymore, and then they're like, yeah, don't come to this game. Disciplinary reasons? I don't know.
I don't know. Zeke is treating the NFL like he's a kid on a youth soccer team.
He's like, I can't make it to the game tonight because my sister has a violin recital. Yeah, I don't know, but it had to be something bad for Jerry to be like, Zeke, you're not allowed to travel with a student.
Right. Because I think Jerry, he loves getting the miles.
I think they go straight to his personal credit account where people fly on airplanes. I think that he loves Zeke, too.
He does, but the story I read, Zeke has just been late to a bunch of meetings, like multiple meetings. Which is shocking considering how fast he drives.
That's true. My question, though, is this, and this is no discredits the falcons again i do think the falcons are good i said that four weeks ago when i was like i'd take them in the nfc south over the bucks uh that was obviously the bucks have a lot of injuries at what point are the cowboys no longer a good win i think they're always going to be a good win because they're always going to be a satisfying win.
They're a satisfying win, but at what point is it like, oh, they beat the Cowboys. That's a really good – like, the Cowboys are not good.
Yeah, well, let's ask Max. Max, you play the Cowboys next week, right? I think – Are you going to be – I think the rivalry games are different.
Robbery games are different for sure. It doesn't matter when you throw out the record books, but you get what I'm saying.
Like, the not good they're not a good football team no they're not but we're in our head because they've been like under mike mccarthy yes they have not had playoff success but they've been a very good regular season team under mike mccarthy so in your head you see the cowboys on the schedule and you're like oh that's a big game they're a good team they're not they're a bad team. They have a lot of holes.
Building the entire offense out of just CeeDee Lamb does not make any sense. Micah Parsons has been out for a while.
I actually think they should trade Micah Parsons. They never will, but that would be the smart move for Jerry Jones.
If you signed Dak Prescott to a big deal and you're like, he's the quarterback, you need some draft picks. You need to start getting depth around him and not just be like, hey, we'll pay four really, really good players and hope everything else works out.
So did you see what Micah Parsons said about this game? He said game of the year for them, game of the week for us. So they're still talking about the Cowboys being everybody's Super Bowl.
That's my point. I don't think that they are everybody's Super Bowl, though.
No, they're just bad. It's just fun to beat the Cowboys.
Yeah, right. It's very fun to beat the Cowboys, but they're not a good football team.
So, I mean, they're not. I don't know.
They're not a playoff team. No.
They're not going to win win i'm looking right now at their schedule i think they're probably gonna maybe win seven or eight games and dak maybe his hamstring is fucked up and his throwing hands fucked up hands fucked up they kept zooming in on his hand it was well it looked like he got stung by bees on the sidelines he's all fucked up yeah and cooper rush uh credit to Cooper Rush I I like a backup quarterback that

I know exactly like what he's going to provide and what Cooper Rush provides is he's going to

throw the ball as hard as he possibly can to a receiver that has a defender draped all over him

every single time it's like a nine yard pass rifled in there while there's a cornerback

literally on top of his wide receiver yeah like an uncatchable ball yeah but uncatchable maybe for

Thank you. It's like a nine-yard pass rifled in there while there's a cornerback literally on top of his wide receiver.
Yeah, like an uncatchable ball. But uncatchable maybe for either team.
Yeah. So he knows where his receivers are going to be.
He doesn't really have the knack of reading defensive coverages to throw it to an open one. But you know what? He gets rid of the ball on time.
He does. On schedule.
He does. Well, maybe a little late.
Well, yeah, maybe a little late. Relatively on schedule.
Yeah, relatively. Dak did have a sick touchdown pass today, though.
Yeah, he did maybe a little late well yeah maybe a little late relatively on schedule yeah relatively dak did have a sick touchdown pass today though yeah he did a little bit lucky on the catch by rico it was a great catch but yeah that was a great uh dak bought a shitload of time scrambling around so sometimes when plays break down like that dak is he's liable to make either the sickest play ever or the most boneheaded play ever at the end of that play. And we got the sick one today.

And they were,

they were so,

so bad on third and fourth down.

I think there were three for 16,

the Cowboys.

That was it.

Like every time they got a third down,

they just sucked.

When you said that Drake London was injured after the touchdown,

did he get injured?

Did he do the bowling pin?

No,

he left the game. I think that after the next series.

So I don't know what his injury was. Cause that headstand was the headstand it's it's a great man i'm on raw him i'm on ron uh what college was that that was like some incarnate word incarnate word that guy did it it's an awesome awesome touchdown celebration have you ever seen the videos of um it reminds me of uh the videos of mike mike tyson uh his old training that he would do for his neck.
He would do neck bridges. So it was basically like a plank on his neck.
He would be in plank position, but it would be his neck, not his hands or his elbows. He would do that for like 30 minutes a day.
It's a great exercise. And his neck would just get so fucking strong because I see those celebrations and all I can think about is you're going to get hurt.
You're going to get paralyzed. It's going to break your neck.
Yeah. The Chargers could probably do that with their strength coach.
Yeah. Ben Herbert.
He's probably just going to work that neck out. I saw they did a pregame thing on the balcony where we interviewed Khalil Mack.
And it was J.J. Watt interviewing Bosa, Khalil Mack, Ben Herbert, and Harbaugh.
And I just was sitting there being like, damn, those are all our guys. Like, fuck.
Yeah, it's good. Yeah, like that was fun, just seeing Ben Herbert.
That's a lot of testosterone. Coach Herbert, yeah.
Yeah, sweet. Drake London, I'm reading right now, right hip, hope just a contusion.
That's from Twitter doctor, Jeff Muller. Okay.
I trust him. We're hoping for a bruise.
Yeah. My understanding, and this is from James Hall, my understanding is Falcons, Drake London is dealing with a hip pointer and an oblique strain.
It doesn't appear to be a serious concern. I don't think you can get it.
I think that's one of those things, oblique strains. Like, that's why you shouldn't try to get abs because you can't, I could never get an oblique strain.
Yeah, you can't pull fat's never gonna happen to me uh okay next game Hank was that enough fun things to talk about yeah I think I was right but that's no I don't think you were right we did you hear about Pam Oliver I saw yeah oh so oh 30 seasons is this the 30th season yes so everyone's doing it this is just from earlier in the year from the Niners I'm not dead yet but I'm having a great time I appreciate you guys so they are trying to get her yeah that's we're tired that's crazy we love Pam Oliver uh okay Ravens 41 Broncos 10 the not ready for prime time Denver Broncos who I still are you know they're they're not a bad team, but this was, we talked about this on Friday, a big step up in class, and they failed the test. Yeah, the Ravens are light years better than the Broncos right now.
I could see the Broncos making the playoffs. That could happen.
But they're probably going to, no, it could. If you look at where they are right now, they're probably.
I'm making that face because I think the only team— I think the team they'd have to beat out is our Chargers. Okay, gotcha.
So I don't want that. They're probably going to lose their next two games, I think.
But the Broncos, I think their defense is good enough to keep them in it and in the conversation. It wasn't today.
It was not today. I mean, the Ravens, you can't— The Ravens and the Lions are the two teams right now going in the NFL where I don't know what you do on defense because it seems like there's no answer.
Zay Flowers, Lamar Jackson will just run around and Zay Flowers will be wide open. And that will happen four or five times a game and there's nothing you can do about it.
And Lamar Jackson will throw it perfectly to him. He was throwing dimes.
Lamar Jackson was 16 for 19 for 280 yards and three touchdowns. He didn't even have to run today.
I think he has one of his worst running games. And then you just throw in Derrick Henry.
Yeah. Who, by the way, had his 100th touchdown rushing.
So he's the 10th player all time to do that. And he also reached 1,000 yards.
We're on 2,000 got a thousand yards rushing today he has 1052 yards on the season we are officially on two thousand yard watch for derrick henry i hope we are have the ravens play have the ravens had a buy yet they have not had a buy so they're exactly uh they played a little bit more than half of his schedule, nine games. We're on it.
I hope he gets there. I hope he gets there too.
It's crazy. But, yeah, Zay Flowers is always open about 30 yards downfield, and he always catches the ball facing the line of scrimmage, and then he, like, fakes one way and then turns around and runs to the corner for an additional 13 yards.
Yeah. And they do that five times a game yeah and it's it's unstoppable especially when you have derrick henry coming downhill at you and yeah lamar jackson throwing with he throws with so much touch now it's awesome yeah he's he's having an mvp season again he's uh he's been awesome the ravens cannot be stopped the ravens defense would be the big concern because they still do let up big chunk plays and it feels like Bo Nix, I feel like Bo Nix had a decent amount of time today and he missed a few passes.
He did have that great touchdown catch. But it was just the Broncos have been feasting on some not great teams.
And then they had to play a really, really good team. And they got punched in the mouth.
And maybe they'll learn some lessons from it. Yeah, watching Lamar play is like the opposite of watching bo nicks play because bo nicks he he every time he throws a pass he's just like i'm going to throw this ball as hard as i can yeah doesn't matter who i'm throwing it to could be a dump off could be a screen i'm just gonna wing it yeah but he's still fun and when bo runs you're like he's about to get crushed or throw a pick and when lamar runs you're like no one's gonna touch him yeah with boa sometimes I have the fear that he's already passed the line of scrimmage like eight yards and I'm like he's probably going to throw another interception he's going to try to throw it yeah the uh also Lamar uh that was his fourth perfect passer rating uh in his career and that's the tied for the most all time since 1950 with Ben Roethlisberger.
Now, I don't know what passer rating actually means, but still, when you get a perfect anything, you've got to say hat tip. I know when I see 158.3, that means really fucking good.
That means he was really, really fucking good today. Yeah.
So the Broncos, yeah, the Broncos have, I think, the Chiefs next. So it's like a little – they're going to have to buck up here they have the chiefs and the falcons uh coming up after you know feeling pretty good at five and three and that chiefs game will be very interesting because we'll be like yeah they they aren't that guy pal that's what i wrote down for the broncos they aren't that guy you're not that guy but not that guy pal they could make the playoffs but i just i don't know here's the thing here's the thing about the broncos they beat a lot of bad teams yeah but there are a lot of bad teams in the nfl and there's a lot of bad teams in the afc they still get to play the raiders again they get the raiders they get the browns and the colts yeah so they do get to play some more bad teams oh the colts aren't terrible they're not bad yeah oh yeah they're they're in the Broncos conversation and the Bengals depending on the week yep and I'm going to say that whoever wins that Broncos Colts game that will make the other team a bad team yeah that will be the that's how you'll know I like that I like that uh okay next up Commanders 27 Giants 22 PFT you're seven and two uh you even beat a Daniel Jones uh where he finally threw a touchdown in front of his home crowd.
672 days since he last threw a touchdown at MetLife Stadium. It was New Year's Day of 2023.
He went off in the first half, 4-6, 0 yards, 1 touchdown. Yeah.
He went off. He went off.
Also, I noticed this, and I want to hear your perspective from the commanders but i noticed this from uh the giants perspective it feels like brian dable has realized that like it's all over with daniel jones so fuck it let's just run him like we did a few years ago yeah uh because he was he was just running every play and he was pretty good at running yeah and they were running like options and and running options, and he was keeping it. And I think he basically was like, Hey, Daniel, the whole quarterbacking thing, the throwing the ball, you're not good at, so just run it.
Let's just work on trying to get by. Yeah.
We can't afford to be picky about how you're going to play the position. Let's just send you out there and do what we know that you can do.
And, yeah, in the first half, zero yards passing looks pretty bad on a stat sheet.

Yes, it does.

But I don't think he played that poorly in the first half overall

because he was running the ball a lot.

Yeah.

He was running people over, and they were able to move it pretty effectively.

Our defense still doesn't look great, but our offense,

the crazy, crazy stat that I saw today is that we have three turnovers this season three total turnovers oh yeah i saw this yeah yeah that's the fewest by a team in the first nine games of a season since 1933 that's crazy and that's the first year that they track turnovers so this might be the fewest of any team of all time wow that the commanders have and so yeah jayden played pretty well at quarterback today uh i don't think it was one of those crazy holy shit oh my god he did what he had to do but he did it really well yeah and he doesn't make mistakes that's the crazy thing like he he will make some mistakes he's a rookie he's going to figure it out but he's very very careful with the football yeah and it likes much more so than anybody thought that he'd be as a rookie. And no turnovers, no interceptions, no fumbles.
It's huge. It's huge that you have a rookie quarterback that's able to do that.
So, yeah, they're 7-2 for the first time since 1996, which is just crazy to think about that because they just hit their over for win total for the season. They're a very good football team.
Yeah, that was a game where it wasn't a wow game. It was a division game.
You took care of business. Yeah, road game in the division.
Right. And the Giants always play the Commanders tough.
They usually beat us, honestly, especially on the road. So I got a question for you.
Steelers-Eagles next two weeks. Yeah.
So next, like, ten days because you're going to play Thursday night football against the Eagles. If you're 2-0, what are your thoughts? If we beat the Eagles.
If you're 9-2. Okay.
Here's how I'm looking at the NFC right now. Okay.
And you can tell me if I'm being delusional. Hank sat up.
Hank sat up. Yeah, this is Big Cat trapping me into it.
No, I'm not. No, I won't.
No, no, I get it. I was going to ask you 0-2 as well.
I was going to ask you the reverse. It's a good trap, though, because...
No, no. I'm not trying to trap.
I'm not saying this about my team as they currently are. I'm saying this if we somehow beat...
Yeah, I was going to do 0-2 after that. If we somehow beat the Steelers and the Eagles.
Here's how I see the NFC. I don't think anybody's going to beat the Lions.
I think the Lions are clearly the best team in the NFC. They might be the best team in football.
But I think that it would be realistic if we're looking at 9-2 to say we could lose in the NFC Championship game. Yeah, you wouldn't have to play the Lions until the NFC Championship if you're 9-2.
Yeah, and I could see us potentially getting to the NFC Championship game. And you wouldn't have to play a road game until the NFC Championship game.
Yeah, so people have to come into our death trap of a stadium, and it might fall on them or rain shit on them. That'd be nice.
So I think you also have to take into account the trade deadline coming up on Tuesday because I think the commanders are going to try to get a cornerback, maybe a wide receiver. Huge day Tuesday.
Maybe pass rush. Huge day.
Maction. Maction.
NFL trade deadline.

Power rankings.

Everything.

Everything's coming up on Tuesday.

The Tupper Bowl.

Yes.

What about 0-2?

If we're 0-2 and we're looking at 7-4.

And you lost to the Steelers.

Wait, but what about the trade deadline?

What's going to happen that is so important?

I just said we could get a cornerback.

Get a wide receiver.

We still need help at cornerback. We need help at receiver.
Try to keep up. Yeah.
Pending those moves. But now if we're 0-2, I would say let's win a wild card game.
Okay. Why not? Because, I mean, Steelers and the Eagles are tough games.
Yeah, they're very tough. Those are not the Giants and the Panthers and the Bears.
Here's the thing. If the Commanders go 500 for the rest of the season, I think that puts us at 11 wins.
Yeah, that would. It's crazy.
It's crazy to see how fast this is turned around. And I respect the hell out of Dan Quinn because I think he's done a great job coaching the team.
He's very competent, good. That's the thing is you guys have a – Dan Quinn's a floor guy where it's like your floor is raised to a point where you're not going to make mistakes of a poorly coached team.
Yeah. Who knows what his ceiling is? Well, I guess his ceiling is going to a Super Bowl, having a 28-3 lead in the Super Bowl.
But that type of coach, Dan Quinn, when you go from what you had in Ron Rivera, who it fell off at the end, to Dan Quinn, it's like he just – I feel like he brings the whole organization together being like, this is what we're going to do and we're not going to make the dumb mistakes that have killed us. Yeah, so if you look at three turnovers right now through nine games, last year at this time we had 14 turnovers.
14. Makes a big difference.
That's a big difference. Yeah, you guys have a play the saints still and the titans yeah so i i mean i think the cowboys stink if i'm looking at the schedule right now i think saying 11 or 12 wins is very very possible very possible and i don't think i'm being delusional no that's not delusional if you look at the schedule that's not delusional yeah because it's it's again you're seven and two and you have games against two games against the cowboys the titans and the saints that's four games right there where you should be favored yeah and that's that's not even talking about the steelers the eagles twice in the falcons which you could win yeah the way i see the nfc it's the lions they're number one no matter what right now they're almost unbeatable i think and then grouped in that second group i would put the i think the eagles have the second best roster in the nfc i think that the eagles are yeah like if they can figure out what's going on with the coaching and the weird decisions that they make sometimes and overcome the max mojo and we'll get to it but I'm officially like just to add you know more shit onto everything I'm

dealing with uh the rams i'm i'm starting to get nervous about yeah the rams are the rams are bad i think they're i think they're tied for first in the in the nfc west oh no the cardinals beat them head to head cardinals killed so but they are they have the same record Cardinals? They have the same record as the Cardinals. I believe they have the same record as the Cardinals and the 49ers.
The 49ers are on a bye this week. So, yeah, they're – no, the Cardinals, sorry, are 5-4, and the Rams and the 49ers are 4-4.
Okay. So, yeah.
Okay, let's take a break. And then do you have anything else with the Commanders? No, I think it was just – it was a good, clean and he he's awesome he's so fun i love him so much yeah i mean those the one pass to the one of the two touchdown passes to terry was sick yeah i think terry had two touchdowns on two catches and like 19 yards good efficient day from terry oh i remember what i wanted to ask you uh do you have a comment about the commandersers fan? Oh, the guy that fell down.
That was very funny. My comment is...
He's talking shit. Can we put it in? Can we play it real quick? And then we'll put it in the show.
This guy was talking shit and then forgot that gravity is not his friend. Well, I think there was a guy in front of him and he dapped him up right here.
And then on the dap, he falls forward. That was a killer dap.
Shut your fucking mouth. He just started rolling.
And he got up and he... You know he's embarrassed when he's like, he's like basically wedged at the bottom of the stairs and his first instinct is to look back and continue to talk shit.
Yeah, it's good. You're like, yeah, what did I say? I thought he was going to accuse the guy like pushing him over.
Yeah. It was very clearly him.
Number one, I want to commend this guy for having excellent pocket awareness and not showing any ass crack when he bent over. That's elite.
That's being situationally aware because I think most bigger guys would have had a little crack poking out. Yep.
Number two, I'd like to abstain from Future Comic because it's a good possibility that this is one of my friend's dads. I'm just going off vibes.
I've been to many Commander's games in my life where all my friends' dads looked exactly like this guy. Yeah.
So I hope he's okay. Yeah.
He wasn't fighting anybody. No, it was a good fall.
He was just running his mouth. It's a good fat guy fall.

Three picks.
Three picks. He had his 100th interception, career interception.
This is what you get. We can't be deterred.
No, this is what happens. You're going to have little bumps in the road with Jameis.
We were flying too high after last week. This week come crashing down.
That's just what you got to take the good with the bad. Today was bad.
Last week was good. I would like to step in real quick and congratulate the haters on one thing.
Yeah. The haters said that Jameis Winston shouldn't have won the game last week because the pass before the touchdown pass was the easiest interception of all time that just got dropped by Kyle Hamilton, right? The haters were right.
Well, no, they weren't right last week because then he did drop it. You got to make the play.
Yeah. Well, the curse of Jameis is sometimes he just throws such a damn catchable ball that your receiver is going to catch it or a cornerback is going to catch it.
I also think he just loves playing football that he gets so excited. It's almost like he just wants to play catch with anyone, whether it be on his team or the other team.
You know, it's sharing. Yeah, you're just like he's at the park.
He's got a ball. Anyone walks by, hey, quick catch.
Or, yeah, if James goes to the park with a football and he sees kids, he's probably going to be like, hey, let's throw it around a little bit. He'll probably throw an easy interception, make the kid feel great.
Right. That's just how he plays football.
Right. He's spreading the joy of the game.
Now, the Chargers defense is awesome. The Chargers defense still hasn't allowed 20 points or more than 20 points.
I'm very high on the Chargers. I think they're a very competent football team, like top to bottom.
They do have to figure out their offensive line a little because I think Justin Herbert got sacked six times, and they obviously have Rashawn Slater and Joe Alt. But the Chargers, like Justin Herbert is really fucking good at football, and because last year happened, I think we got off – the national media maybe got off the scent a little bit.
He was one of those guys that got a little too much hype for not winning playoff games too early, so everyone then just zagged on him, whereas he's always just been really good, and he just needed a good coach behind him. Quinton Johnson had 100 yards today, and Quinton Johnson's good at football again.
Ladd McConkie's awesome. Joshua Palmer, I think, is a top three receiver for him.
It's not like he's throwing to the best receivers, and he just is really, really good at football. And the Chargers' defense is awesome.
And they have – here's the thing, and this is why it kills me. We'll get to the Bears, but like the Harbaugh, why I love Harbaugh and why people are like, oh, you glaze Harbaugh.
What Harbaugh does when you get a guy like Jim Harbaugh, he gives your team an identity. The Chargers have an identity.
They play tough, hard football, and when you have an identity, you can win games. Like, that's huge.
I think a different way of saying that is also saying that the minor, the stupid mistakes, the weird ways that the Chargers have found to lose football games in, last, I don't know, 15 years. Those tend to go away with a great coach like this because he gives you an identity and he gives you a belief.
And then you start paying attention to all the details. The details mean something to you because you feel like you're a part of something that's bigger.
And so if you have a great teacher in school that connects with you and you enjoy that class you're going to try a little bit harder on every single assignment than you would for a teacher that you don't give a fuck about right and and you go into a game and you're like these coaches have a game plan for us to win this game yeah we're going to play good defense we're going to run the football like they it just they have an identity and they know how they want to play football games and how they want to dictate games and that just goes such a long way in the nfl and yeah i'm very high on the chargers i think they're a good like they are if you look at we were just talking about the broncos if you look at the the asc playoff picture and you take out the division winners and the ravens so So that's the chiefs, the bills, the Steelers, the Texans and the Ravens. Cause the Ravens are technically second right now in the AFC North.
There's those two spots left. And I think the chargers are the, are one of those two spots.
Cause it's, it's between the chargers, the Broncos, the Colts, the Bengals. And I'll even throw in the jets for you memes Out of those five teams, I think the Chargers are one of the two best of those five.

Yeah, their defense is so good.

They've allowed the third fewest points per game by any team

through eight games in the last 15 seasons.

I don't think anyone has scored over 20 points on them this year.

No, yeah, I see that.

But the others that are in that top four of the best defenses in terms of scoring, the others in that top four, they all made the playoffs and they all won at least 11 games. So they are a legit team.
And I think if you just take that great defense and then Herbert we know is a good quarterback, he's just been abused. He's like a homeless animal that now has its forever home.
I think that if you can get 75% 75 percent of how good justin herbert has been at his best in his career um yeah they're they're a good team they've got holes they've got weaknesses yeah of course they're not i mean they're not super explosive on offense i think it's starting to get there in terms of like they're starting to pass the ball more yeah we talked about on friday how is justin herbert's uh past attempts have gone up the last few weeks it It's clear that they're trying to let him rip it a little, especially with guys getting healthier. But, yeah, this is a solid, fundamentally sound team, and what I expected them to do is beat a not fundamentally sound team in the Browns.
The Browns are definitely – like, they have to sell. Yeah.
If they could sell anything. What are they going to sell? Well, Mike Tannenbaum, did you see that on Get Up? No.
Mike Tannenbaum, former Jets GM. Former Jets GM.
Cargo shorts. One of the worst trade, hypothetical trades, I've ever seen in my entire life.
I'm happy you didn't see this because I'm going to tell it to you. And it was so bad he got laughed like in his face on Get Up.
He got laughed in his face. By who? Everyone on the panel.
Greeny? I don't know if Greeny was there that day. Here's what it is.
The Detroit Lions get Miles Garrett. Okay.
Good trade for the Lions. The Browns get, I'll start with the least amount, second round pick.
Okay. I need to see what Miles Garrett's contract is.
Hold on. Hold on.
That was the least. That was the second round pick.
Three first round picks. And Jameer Gibbs.
Yeah. That was the trade he proposed.
It was one of the worst trades proposed of all time.

Of all time.

Who says no?

Who says no?

Everyone was like, dude, what are you? He's like, well, Jameer Gibbs is redundant to David Montgomery.

He's like, have you watched the Lions game?

The whole point is they have these guys that you cannot stop.

You can't take away one of them.

The whole point is they have Sonic and Knuckles. Does he have any connection to the Browns right now? Is he just trying to gas up Miles Garrett's trade value? I don't know what it was.
It was shocking. And when I say everyone laughed, everyone laughed in his face.
And then everyone was like, this guy was the fucking GM. And he kept on saying when they were laughing in his face, he kept on saying, but the Lions will win the super bowl yeah i would he's like the lions are gonna win the super bowl with miles garrett but it's like dude you just if they don't win the super bowl you just gave up everything yeah i would say that this is a great trade for the browns uh second round pick for miles garrett three first yeah but just a second on its own sounds like it's a pretty heavy price right Yeah, I don't know.
How long has he signed for? He signed for three more years?

Yeah, three just a second on its own sounds like it's a pretty heavy price, right? Yeah, I don't know. How long has he signed for? He signed for three more years? Yeah, three more years.
No, you'd have to give up a first-round pick for Miles Garrett. Yeah, I was assuming that this was maybe the last two years of his contract.
Three for – that – he made – that's like – I don't even know. It was such an insane thing, and he just kept on being like, but they're going to win a Super Bowl with Miles Garrett.
Yeah, that's not I don't even know it was such an insane thing and he just kept on being like but they're going to win a Super Bowl with Miles Garrett yeah that's not that's not a trade that's going to happen so I don't even know how we got here oh because the Browns should trade Miles Garrett they should trade yeah if anybody wants any of their players just pay everyone's open yeah just nobody's off limits I get an interesting side about this game big cat oh okay teams in in the nfl are now oh and two on the season when playing a harbaugh brother just after beating a harbaugh brother oh yeah first the raiders you remember that antonio pierce yep and i think that was the same thing where they they both beat john and then jim avenged his brother's loss yeah so jim is now two and that's what he's doing on avenging losses for his. Do we have any more of these situations coming up? We actually do.
The Bengals have an opportunity to do just that over their next two games. Oh.
But I think they might be doing it reverse. Who do the Bengals? No, no, no.
The Bengals play the Ravens next week, and then they play the Chargers. So if the Bengals beat the Ravens, hammer the Chargers.
Yes. If the trend holds, you could also say that there's a trend that teams that play the Harbaugh brothers back-to-back weeks.
Go one and one. Always go.
They always go one and oh. They always win the first leg of it.
Oh, yeah. Yeah.
I see what you're saying. So you would say Bengals.
No, they always go one and one, though. No, but they go one and oh in their first one.
So they always beat John and then lose to Jim. Got it.
Got it. Okay, so.
It's a trend. So the Bengals win on Thursday, Chargers.
Yep. The next week.
That is a trend. That's a pretty big sample size, too.
I do think that Jim Harbaugh sees a team beat his brother. He's like, fuck these guys.
Without a doubt. He absolutely does.
Especially because even though John is older, Jim is. Yeah, Jim, he deputized himself.
Jim definitely has slipped up and said, my baby brother, John. Yeah, I bet you Jim has signed permission slips for John in the past.
John definitely once a year has to be like, you know I'm older than you, right? Like, I am older than you. He is, right?

Yeah.

See, because he's not.

Jim is older.

Jim's a big brother.

Jim is big brother vibes.

He's an ultimate big brother vibes. Let's see, John Harbaugh is...

You're right.

I think John's a couple years older.

John's the older one, but I'm looking at the ages.

But Jim is older.

Jim is the older brother.

62.

John is 62.

How old is Jim? And then jim is it doesn't matter 60 yeah yeah but jim's older yeah we got it next time we have mom we got to say ask him that mm-hmm yeah jim definitely a little bros john yeah we got it we got to do like one of those trick ones where it's like you know we're uh you're like what is this you know You know, what's the color? What's that color? White. What's that color? White.
And then what do cows drink milk? The fuck up and say cows drink milk. We got to do that with him.
I just, you're like, what's me up when you said that? Yeah. You can fuck people up with that.
The, we got to be like, what's older, like older or younger. And then just get them to be like, yeah, I'm older than him.
Yeah. He would say it.
He absolutely would uh okay next game uh bengals 41 raiders 24 are the bengals back or do they play the raiders i think they're both joe burrow was awesome i think they're both back and also played the raiders because uh joe had a joe burrow had a great quote after the game because he didn't look happy during this no he's pissed five touchdowns right he did have a pick six he had a pick six five touchdowns and he looked he looked pissed the entire game even when they were scoring when they were winning after the game he looked pissed off he said if we don't score a touchdown on a drive i'm not going to be very happy for the rest of the year so he's he's flipped the switch yeah he's flipped the switch five five touchdowns he's flipped the switch he uh yeah he's he's to be hard on himself, hard on everyone else. And Trey Hendrickson had a great game too.
Trey Hendrickson had four sacks. Chase Brown had a great game.
It was crazy. He threw five touchdowns, none of them to Jamar Chase.
Yeah. And the Bengals, they needed this game.
Joe Burrow also. So, like, watching Joe Burrow play, he is the definition of like his ability to scramble inside the pocket is so goddamn good where it's like he's not the most athletic guy he's not going to beat you with his feet but he does beat you with your feet his feet you know what I mean you know I'm saying he'll start escaping to the right and then when he's halfway to the sidelines find a guy keep plays going yeah where it's like he's never going to run but he's just going to keep the play alive for those extra few seconds that always end up in a completion uh but yeah the raiders are one of the saddest teams out there right now because we had yet again antonio pierce just frustratingly uh bench gardner minchu for desmond ritter so is, I think, two times now that he's just not for injury,

just like, I'm sick of you, Gardner.

Get out of here.

What did you expect?

He's just hoping.

He's Gardner Minshew.

I love Gardner Minshew, but you can't go into a game with Gardner Minshew as your starter and be like, this is going to be awesome.

He's just hoping that the next guy that he puts in is going to be electric, like putting in Desmonditter and you think that you're going to get his last year at cincinnati desmond ritter yeah yeah so the raiders are ass ass they say that hope isn't a strategy i think for the raiders it is yeah it's not working they've reached the point where it's just like i hope that aoc is going to be good when i put him in i hope that gardener is going to be good once I've benched him already. I hope that Desmond Ritter somehow is good now.
Yeah, and it's never going to happen. It's never going to happen.
By the way, AOC, yeah, he's hurt, right? Yep. He hurt his foot.
I saw a very funny – someone tried to make the argument. What year was Aiden O'Connell drafted? I want to say it was.
22. Was it? Oh, it was 2023 NFL draft.
Someone pointed out. Wait, I'm going to pull it up.
Oh, it was after CJ Stroud had a bad Thursday night game. And someone was like, isn't it crazy that Aiden O'Connell is the best quarterback for this draft class.
Cause it was like, it's like CJ Stroud, Bryce Young, Anthony Richardson. Uh, I don't know.
Will Levis. Will Levis.
Obviously it was a joke because CJ Stroud is very good. Uh, Hennon Hooker, Jake Hayner, Stetson Bennett, Clayton Toon, DTR, Sean Clifford,

Jaron Hall, Max Duggan, and then Aiden O'Connell.

Was he the best quarterback in that draft?

There was one that you said that was like the fifth or sixth.

Jake Hayner?

Yeah, Jake Hayner.

No, not him.

Who was before him?

Let's see.

Clayton Toon, definitely not him.

Was it that?

Hennen Hooker.

Yeah, Hennen Hooker.

He might be good.

Stetson Bennett?

We don't know.

Oh, DTR.

He's played a little.

I don't think Hennen Hooker has lost a game that he's been in.

That's facts.

That's facts.

But, yeah, the Raiders are just so sad.

It's crazy how many teams are really, really bad.

Like this early, too, because, like you said, what was the stat? Nine teams or two wins? Nine teams have two wins. Nine teams have two wins in week nine.
It feels like at least usually three or four of those teams would have three wins, which I know it sounds crazy to say, but two and six versus three and five is a big fucking difference. It is.
Having two wins right now, I can't believe that it's possible for nine teams to have two wins. Yeah.
They're just really, really bad teams. Yeah, we were right.
Yeah. When we were talking about, we did the ass list.
Yeah, we did the ass list. So, yeah, the Raiders are ass and the Bengals are maybe bad.
The Bengals, it all comes down to the next three weeks. They play the Ravens, the Chargers, and the Steelers.
Yeah. If they can survive that stretch 2-1, I think they can be in a playoff team.
If they go 1-2, then we're talking about you literally cannot lose another game. That's really what it comes down to.
And that Thursday night game against the Ravens is going to be awesome. Yeah.
Very, very excited for that game. It's nice having a big matchup on Thursday.
Yes. Very, very nice.
And then we follow it up with the Eagles-Commanders the week after. Wow.
Which, that one's going to be a must-watch stream. Perm.
Perm bet. Perm bet.
Okay, next up, Bengals back. I'm going to say Bengals back.
Yeah. The Bengals could be back.
They could be back. I still don't know if they're they're back if they beat the Ravens they are officially 100% back I never really stopped believing that the Bengals could be back potentially but there's just so many things they can't fuck up even once I think when we said when they lost to the Ravens I think we looked ahead and we're like there's a very good chance that when they play the Ravens next it will be to to get back to 500, which would obviously be huge if they get to five and five.
Because then I feel like if you get to five and five, then a little bit of the pressure comes off where it's like, hey, we don't have to win every single game down the stretch. Okay.
Panthers 23, Saints 22. Holy shit.
There's a lot of them in this game. Let's start with the crazy stat Bill Barnwell said.

The Saints outgained the Panthers by 150-plus yards, ran for 150-plus yards,

and won the turnover battle.

Last 20 years, teams were 275-0 doing that, now 275-1.

The Saints ran the ball down their throat.

Bryce Young was not terrible, and the Panthers end up winning this game. Good for the Panthers.
Every single person that's ever been associated with the Saints decided to take to Twitter and tweet about this. X.com, everything.
And it fires everywhere for the New Orleans Saints right now. Michael Thomas during the game.
During the game, Michael Thomas went off. Do you have the tweets in front of you? I don't have Slantman's tweets in front of me.
I've got some other ones, though. Okay, yeah.
So Michael Thomas, we'll pull those up. We had Chris Alave get another concussion, which sucked, and he got carted off.
His brother was giving updates and was like, my brother's awake and responsive at the hospital. Like, everything's good.
Then someone said, so he said, bro, just called. He's up and active.
A guy quoted and said, might be time to have that is it worth it talk. And Joshua Lavi wrote back, ain't worth it in NOLA.
I'll tell you that. So that's not good.
We also had, who was it? Oh, Colleen Saunders took to Twitter, and he said, fans say keep losing so we can get number one pick. Hell, throw me in a QB shit.
Let's have something fun to watch. Motherfuckers is cheekbones.
Shake my head. New Orleans, you all deserve better.
My only goal is to finish above 500 at this point. Cheekbones.
Cheekbones. And then someone said, damn, bro, so are we last or y'all? And he said.
Well, that wasn't. I don't think that was someone.
I think that was Lonnie Johnson. Sorry.
Yeah. Yeah.
Lonnie Johnson Jr. said, are we last or y'all? Yep.
And he said, Lonnie, brother, shut your weak ass up ass up we will both be in cabo january 10th i know we ain't in no last place argument this is absurd yeah cam jordan also tweeted we just lost to the panthers and then uh jc horn replied dude we got the same record yeah like that that says it all right there the saints thought that they were above the panthers and they're not not. They're not at all.
They've lost seven in a row. There was another Saunders tweet that's very funny too.
He said, if that was a college bowl game, that motherfucker would have been called the Cottonelle Doodoo Bowl. We just lost the Cottonelle Doodoo Bowl.
Oh, shit. So here's what Michael Thomas said.
Cottonelle Doodoo Bowl? The Cottonelle Doodoo Bowl. That's a great one.
Michael Thomas said, they fired all them coaches trying to cover his flaws up. He's still doing the same shit.
This is about Derek Carr. Oh, no.
It started with Derek Carr. For you, I've been told you're all shit sad.
This is after Chris Olavi gets injured. Dude's scary and panic and just throw the ball.
Get him the fuck out of here. So ass.
That year, his buddy went first team all pro in 2022 he needed 180 targets just to catch 100 passes he is ass on my granny dude tried to lie and say i was jealous of them making chris wide receiver one whole time he can't even get him a decent ball he need his ass whooped and they fired all them coaches trying to cover his paws up still doing the same shit i feel bad for derrick car derrick car Carr had to answer this in the post-game press conference. He answered it just like you thought Derek Carr would.
He's like, I don't know why he hates me. I've tried to reach out to him.
It sucks. Like, it just sucks.
But, yeah, that was a full meltdown of everyone in the Saints world while the Saints lost to the Panthers. Yeah, it was tough.
I did feel bad for Derek Carr, too.

I also saw this stat from Josh Dubow.

He put out a list of the most losses as a starting quarterback.

Through four seasons, it's David Carr.

Through five seasons, it's David Carr.

Through six seasons, it's David Carr.

Through seven seasons, it's Derek Carr.

Oh, no.

Through eight seasons

derrick carr nine seasons derrick carr 10 seasons 10 derrick carr and then 11 seasons where we're at right now derrick carr and archie manning are tied so with one more loss then that becomes shit derrick carr's as well derrick carr also is the first quarterback to start in losses versus 31 NFL teams.

He plays the Raiders on 12-29.

Okay. Also is the first quarterback to start in losses versus 31 NFL teams.

He plays the Raiders on 12-29. Okay.
I saw the stat, and I looked up the other quarterbacks that are on that list, and you pretty much have to be a good quarterback to be on that list. Or have played forever.
Yeah, you've played forever. You play forever.
You start forever. Flacco's on that list at 30.
And I believe Flacco has the opportunity to lose to one of the two teams that he hasn't lost to yet. Okay.
If you look at the Colts' schedule. So he might get to 31 maybe.
But Derek Carr has a big game against the Raiders on December 29th. But they are the Raiders.
They are the Raiders. But they're the Saints.
The Saints are no longer above anyone. I just did it.

Yeah.

I just did the Cam Jordan real time.

I'm happy that Bryshen got a win.

Yeah.

Like, that was good.

He had a really competent game.

He didn't light it on fire, but he had a competent game,

which is a big step up from what we saw last year

in the beginning of this year.

Yeah, he had a couple nice passes to Xavier Leggett.

Yeah.

They're a very young team at wide receiver now.

He looked like he had fun.

This is the Panthers. I mean, you have to be happy for the Panthers and their fans because being on that team has to be just like hell.
So even winning one game just for a week to be able to be like, shit, we can actually smile for a week in the building? Yeah. This is fun.
And just know that the Saints, what Cam Jordan tweeted out, that's what all the Saints thought about you. Yeah.
They thought that they were five times better than the Panthers were. And they're not.
As an organization. They're not.
Maybe I'm not going to say the biggest bummer in the NFL, but they're definitely in the top four bummers in the NFL just in terms of watching the team because you recognize everything about the Saints. They've got so many guys that have been on that team for so long.
But it's like when you see the commercials with all the guys from The Office on it, and you're like, well, I recognize all those guys from that TV show that I used to like. They're doing a together but it's not the same they're old they're not those same characters anymore that's what the saints are right now they're just a collection of of guys that used to be good together eight years ago yeah right they're just and they're not going to change right they're wear the same uniform there's some of the same names but they're not like i would be shocked if jimmy graham suited up at some point this year for the saints right would that would that blow your mind no not at all it would not even close he actually should he absolutely should but yeah the the saints who it's uh dennis allen is the i was looking it up he's now 26 and 52 as a head coach and there's only two head coaches in history who have coached as many games as he has with the worst losing percentage he's the third worst nfl hud coach of all time and how who are those other guys uh they were let's see yeah pull it up he's so so bad i don't know how he's still in employed it makes no sense.
Salary cap doesn't count against coaches. You can move on from a coach.
So it is – let's look this up. Coaches records, if you sort by win-loss percentage, I believe – so Dennis Allen is 16th worst coach just based on win-loss percentage, and then the only coaches who have coached more games than him with the worst record is Marion Campbell, who has a 34-80 all-time coaching record.
And then you had Joe Bugle. Joe Bugle was 24-56.
If he loses a couple more games, he will be the worst coach of all time. It's crazy.
He's so, so bad. Joe Bugle, great offensive line coach.
Yeah. It's shocking that Dennis Allen is...
I don't know how he still has... I mean, I guess I do know how he still has a job, but I don't know how he still has a job.
I don't really know. I think it's really because he's so unremarkable.

Yeah, I don't get it.

Like if they went to fire him, they'd be like,

what does he look like again?

Yeah, I don't understand. I have not seen anything redeemable about Dennis Allen

since he's taken over as the coach of the Saints.

If Dennis Allen walked by you on the street, would you notice?

Okay.

I don't think so.

I've thought this about Zach Taylor.

Yeah, but I think I would know Zach Taylor at this point.vin o'connell kevin o'connell i know he's tall if if zach taylor wasn't if he was wearing like um i don't know like a sweater and khakis and no hat and then if dennis allen was wearing a sweater khakis no hat they walk past me i don't think i recognize either one of them if Mincy brought Dennis Allen into this office but didn't tell us it was Dennis Allen I don't think I would know if he told you it was the quarterback coach of Ole Miss yeah if he was or he's like this is a friend from the south yeah I'm like oh nice to meet you be like I am Dennis but wait what yeah Dennis Dennis Allen worst coach of all time yeah get out holy shit uh okay next up hank last uh early game titans 20 patriots 17 your thoughts drake may played decent uh the the touchdown drive to tie the game was good and the the last touchdown specifically like yeah yeah he was running scrambling forever yeah uh that was a good you know end of game rep for him to get and to be successful and so that was good to see interceptions weren't great especially in overtime he kind of said afterwards though you know the best, the best play sometimes is just throw it incomplete. Tried to be a hero.
Didn't work out. We're back at the top of the...
Tank-a-thon? Tank-a-thon. You are? Nice.
So in that way, it's a win. Draft tomorrow, who do you take? Shador? I feel like you've got to take the best player in college football.
Travis Hunter, yeah. Travis Hunter, that's a good point.
That's a really good point. You get two players for one with him.
It's tremendous value. Travis Hunter and Christian Gonzalez.
Whoa, Travis Hunter can catch. Yeah, but I'm saying defensively.
Yeah. Are you now saying that the Patriots are sellers at the trade deadline? Because I know that you were towing that line between buying and selling.
No, those are reports that I never understood. Yeah.
So, yeah, I would definitely say we're sellers. I don't know.
But what would you sell? Yeah, I don't. We could probably give away all of our wide receivers for like a bag of donuts.
Okay. Box of donuts.
Ramondre? Ramondre? I mean, he played well. He scored our only two touchdowns.
I don't really really know what will sell. I don't know.
Someone... I saw another report that was like people...
Teams are asking about Gonzalez. That would be insane.
That would be crazy. A young, great player like that.
You can't do that. Don't get rid of him.
You can't do that. That's all you got? Titans.
I can't quit the Titans because their defense is good. Are they good or do they play Patriots no they've actually been statistically very good this year and very good I mean relatively for a two-win team yeah they're like a top 10 defense uh statistically yeah I mean that you guys are giving me shit for this game fell under the category of like this game was not exciting to watch no it was a terrible game to watch it was it was fun at the very end.
I needed Drake to have over 200 yards passing, so that was even more intense. It was weird watching you watch it, and you were like, it was like you had no care about the actual outcome, which, I mean, you want to lose.
But it was weird watching that. You were just like, I just want him to pass it.
And then when we went to overtime you're like don't screen pass it well yeah i didn't want to it to a situation yeah there was a moment where it was actually right after drake may's interception hank was just like yes like quietly like it's over he's not going to throw a screen pass it's going to go for negative yards but i mean hey you're tanking so that's okay yeah yeah hank is a good loss hank to his team i think a lot of times us as fans we're not logical like last year i was i was rooting for washington to win every game going down the stretch that they end up losing i'm very glad that we lost those games you should not it makes sense to root for your team to lose when they're in a position like this yeah so hank is very clear-headed about that especially how there's so many shitty teams right now like every loss matters hank yeah it was a good loss this was actually a great loss exciting fun to watch loss this was maybe the best loss because it was against a team that had one win drake may makes the patriots watchable definitely told you when you he got in when you were like i don't want him to're like, no, you do want him to play because it makes it so that there's

actually something to watch.

And the reason was because the offensive line, I didn't realize how bad our

wide receivers were.

Yeah.

Past three weeks have been shocking.

Can't catch.

So this did break the combo or the trend of teams that just got done playing

the Lions stinking the next week.

But the Patriots covered.

Covered the spread. So that's what really matters.
That was huge. That's it? That's all you got? Is there something I'm missing? No, I don't think so.
It was a very boring game. Should I have more? No.
I don't think you should. Tell me about Mayo.
How did Mayo do today? Was he boistering? He should have gone for two. There's something.
Yeah, let's talk about that. should have gone for two.
You're a one-win team or two-win team. You're on the road.
You score an insane touchdown to get within one with time gone. It was literally zeros on the clock.
Why wouldn't you just go for two? Yeah, I don't disagree. At this point, he's coaching scared, but just try to win the game right there that maybe he wasn't trying to win the game.
You're right. Think about it that way, but I yeah, I would have gone for two there.
There's there's no reason not to go for two there. It just like just fuck it and the game on the field.
Yeah. Keep the momentum.
Keep the momentum. Exactly.
Okay. Yeah yeah i mean the titans are a tough watch mason rudolph makes them somewhat competent is offensively is levis actually hurt or is this a i think we're gonna go with mason because we think we're gonna say that will levis is banged up we don't want the whole team to revolt right now yeah might be one of those might be one of those because he he definitely brings competency to them yeah that they didn't have he brings a little bit of uh a little bit of boringness definitely boringness and you have a good defense but i mean that in a good way yeah like a stable guy he's a guy that i'm gonna settle down with this guy yeah uh okay uh let's do the afternoon games before we do that pft you have two more ads and we'll do the afternoon games before we get back to more games are brought to you by our good friends over at thorn thorn's got a wide range of highly effective nutritional supplements that are made to promote and maintain your health goals throughout all of your life stages thorn is backed by science it takes a personalized approach to optimizing your health and wellness teaminging up with leading medical professionals to develop their products.

Okay. Cardinals 29, Bears 9.
So, I assume everyone listening right now probably follows us all on Twitter, but if you don't, I had to go to the ER on Saturday because I have kidney stones. So I was in intense, intense pain.
I was actually pulling into the zoo with my kids and I my whole body locked up and I was sweating profusely and my stomach felt like it was an explode and my back hurt. So I went to the ER on Saturday, spent like two hours at the ER, had a scan.
They told me I have four kidney stones one that's currently passing through my body i've been in just intense pain woke up in intense pain this morning been taking pain pills just pissing non-stop uh all that said have you passed any stones i have not yet we're we're working on one real bad but all that said uh as bad as going to the ER is and all the pain I'm in, and kidney stones is some of the worst pain ever, that was not even close to the worst part of my weekend because this game, watching this game, was by far and away the worst part of my weekend. And this team has quit, and Matt Eberflus is a loser, and he needs to be fired, which he won't be because the Bears will never fire a coach in the middle of the season.
They have been around for 100 plus years. They have never fired a coach in the middle of a season.
This team quit. It's an utter disaster.
Lifeless. Garbage.
Matt Eberflus is a loser. Just full-blown loser.
He is 0-18 on Sundays on the road. That was a crazy stat when I saw that.
It took my breath away. He has won three road games in the last three years.
At the Commanders on Thursday Night Football. At the Patriots on Monday Night Football.
And then he beat the Vikings on Monday night football. He is 0-18 on the road on Sundays.
He's never won a... Matt Nagy...
Matt Nagy. They're all the same, by the way.
They're all the same. Matt Nagy, Mark Trestman, Matt Iberflues, John Fox.
They're all the same. Matt.
They just fucking... All they do is hire just fucking pussyhead coaches that are just, can be bossed around and they suck and they just don't, they're not leader of men.
Matt Iberflusa has never gotten on a plane with his team on a Sunday being like, hey, we feel good. I guess they did beat the Jaguars.
That was technically a home game in London. In London, yeah.
But think about that. He's never gotten on a plane on a Sunday, been like, great win, boys.
Never happened. That's insane.
It's crazy. 0-18.
That's a huge sample size, too. He's a loser.
I agree with you. Matt Nagy.
Sorry. Matt Eberflus.
They're all the same. Loser.
He's a loser. He knew he was a loser.
I've known he's been a loser, but I was like, listen, I'm going to trust Ryan Paul's like, whatever. You're going to have to go with this.
I had these problems last year, but it's like, fuck it. We're all in.
We're going to just do it with Matt Eberflus. He got a fucking haircut.
He went on hard knocks. He got funked up.
Shout out to our guy Funky. Actually, he's legit.
Matt Eberflus is a fucking loser, though on hard knocks he got funked up shout out our guy funky actually

he's legit Matt Eberflus is a fucking loser though he's a loser amongst losers and he he's just perfect for this Bears organization that's run by losers and they're not serious and it's just so depressing to be back at this spot credit to Matt Eberflus though you almost said Nicky again i almost. Credit to Matt Eberflus.
He did say that's on me again this week. Yeah.
Well no he didn't say that last week. He said it starts with me.
After he got bullied he didn't say it for three days. Just like he didn't make a decision on Tyreek Stevenson for three days and basically got bullied into benching him, and then that became a whole story.
And then Tyreek Stevenson bullied him for benching him. The guy can't make a decision.
But he did take responsibility for the play right before halftime this week. That was the quit play.
It was the quit play, and he said, That one was on me, hand up. I called a pass defense and left us exposed to that run.
Does that show that he's learning, not only because he's able to take responsibility so much faster, and then also does it show that he's learning because at the end of a half, instead of trying to give up or letting the other team have those easy 10 yards to put them in Hail Mary position, he played a pass defense. Yeah.
So he adjusted from what he did last week and then got absolutely torched on a run this week. He's so bad.
He's bad. He's so bad.
I'm not saying I told you so to you, Big Cap. I knew he was bad.
I had to go with it. What are you going to do? No, I know you did.
I'm saying that the Bears are idiots for keeping morale. Yeah, no shit.
I knew that. But once they made the decision, I wanted...
Who was at the front of the line trying to get Jim Harbaugh? I made shirts for it. Jim Harbaugh would have changed everything about this franchise.
But they would never bring an alpha in who would command... Would walk into House Hall and be everyone's boss.
They wouldn't let that happen. After your team makes a decision to bring him back, you can't just be like, eberflus for the next like nine months you got to just basically be like hope this works out and then knowing all too well that you'll end up exactly at this spot where it's like get this fucking guy out of my life get shane waldron out of my life listen i like ryan poles for what he's done for this roster but if he stays loyal to to Matt Eberflus, that is an insane, insane indictment on his decision-making because already we're looking at the offensive line that is just so, so – I mean, I know people are going to want me to bash Caleb Williams.
I'm not changing on Caleb Williams. Could Caleb Williams get ruined by what's happening with Matt Eberflus in this offensive line? Absolutely.
I'm not changing on Caleb Williams. The offensive line, the Arizona Cardinals, they have no pass rush.
They had twice this entire season, they had three sacks or more in a game. They had three sacks in three consecutive plays today.
Yeah, that was a bad drive. That's how fucking bad this offensive line, this play calling.
Shane Waldron goes into every game with just like it feels like he's going on vibes yeah there's just no rhyme or reason i mean i knew we were fucked once montez sweat was out before the game but the defense got gashed finally and i think that was the that was the point where it's like for the first part of the season even last half of last year you could at least hang your hat on matt Eberflus is doing a great job with the defense. The defense has turned around and been an elite defense for, like I said, the last half of last year, first half of this year.
They've been a top ten unit. Today they quit.
Today they quit. And you saw it all week with all the people, you know, Jalen Johnson and Byard and Cole Komet all saying like, hey, even Caleb Williams is like, we got to be a player-led team.
Essentially saying we don't have a coach. Yeah, and Matty Ruflus got lucky too at the end of this game because Caleb should not have been in for that last series.
Such a fucking moron loser piece of shit. And Caleb, he went down awkwardly.
I think it was the last play of the game, but it could have been a lot worse. It could have been fireable.
If they didn't fire Matt Eberflus, if he got his quarterback injured in a game like this, then they're just never going to fire the guy. It would have been the worst coaching decision of the year in the NFL.
They played soft. They quit.
They look look afraid they look lost the the Cardinals and credits the Cardinals Cardinals I think are like they're a good team Kyler didn't even have to be hero Kyler today they just ran the ball down our throat he made the plays when he needed to make but it wasn't like Kyler had to run around and make incredible plays. They just lined up and just beat us.

The first half, they were running the football down your throat.

Down our throat.

The next-gen stats, 16 different Cardinals got a pressure against the Bears on Sunday.

The Cardinals had a 26.6% pressure rate going into the game.

They pressured Caleb Williams on 46% of his dropouts. You say 16 Cardinals? 16 Cardinals.
That's so hard to do. They're like pulling guys off the bench being like, hey, you want to get a pressure? Go ahead.
Just get in the game. 46.6% pressure rate.
That's got to be the most amount of players to get a pressure in an NFL game, right? Since 2018. Only in those six years.
Yeah. That seems just insane to me.
It's just an all-out disaster. I'm so, so, like, I'm sick.
If we didn't have to stream the game, I would have turned the game off because it was such a gross, gross watch. And the team has quit, and Matty Bafuz has to go.
Has to go. They will not fire him in the middle of the season because the McCaskies run the fucking organization like it's 1925 and it doesn't fucking matter to them.
And we'll probably hire another weenie as a head coach. I'll get my hopes up that it's Ben Johnson.
And then we'll be like, oh, you know, the defensive coordinator for the fucking Panthers did a pretty good job this year. Let's hire him.
Yeah. Oh, fuck.
This, you know. Oh, did you see the offense for, you know, the offense for the fucking, I don't even know.
Like the Cowboys offense actually turned around at the end of the year. Let's hire the offensive coordinator.
Like what? It's so stupid. You know what? You know who's good on TV? Jason Garrett.

Let's get him back.

It's fucking...

I literally like daydream about what it would be like if Jim Harbaugh was the coach of this team.

Because this team has talent and they just are so, so poorly coached.

And we're just right back in the same bullshit.

And Caleb Williams deserves better.

And I convinced myself it was going to be different because what am I supposed to do?

I'm an idiot fan and I convinced myself it's going to be different every year.

And it's the same shit.

You just got to worry. You alluded to it, but you got to worry about them breaking Caleb.
Oh, absolutely. It was a concern after the Texans game.
It's now DEFCON, like red, like whatever DEFCON you do because I'm convinced it's going to happen now. There was a moment during a play where Caleb was running around with a ball and he he shrugged and threw his arms up like what the fuck am i supposed to do during a play as he's scrambling and at that point you're like this guy is he's teetering right now it's just they they suck and they're always gonna suck because the owners are gonna always do the same shit and it's just gonna be the same fucking shit over and over and over and uh i don't know why i get excited i shouldn't have ever gotten excited i feel like an idiot but yeah and just maddie was a loser get him out bill belichick josh mcdaniel bill belichick doesn't like caleb williams you've told me that he bashed him on the inside the NFL.
Mike Vrabel. Now that's a name.
That's a man. That's a man who would come in and stuff all these fucking losers in a locker and be like, this is how we're going to play football.
You need the guru offensive coordinator too, though, I think. I agree with that.
Ben Johnson is, I'm going to, I'm going to make a little dream board, and every night I'm going to kiss it.

I'm going to kiss Ben Johnson on the lips and be like,

please, Ben, come and save the franchise.

What about this?

What about a mix of what Hank's talking about?

What about Vrabes, head coach, Josh McDaniels, OC?

That's fine.

Mike Vrabel would be the most competent coach since Lovie. I mean, that's the other thing.

You look at what the Bears have had for Mark Trestman, John Fox, Matt Nagy, Matt Iberflus. They kicked Lovie to the curb.
I understand time, whatever. He won 10 games, and we've been searching for that competency since.
And you get one blip. That's all the Bears franchise does.
One blip every now and then. Lightning in a bottle.
2018. Oh, shit.
This might be something. I don't give a fuck.
Ryan Day. Fuck Ryan Day.
No. If you could play Penn State every week, I'd take Ryan Day.
You know who they're going to get? You know who they're going to get? They're going to get Stink Riley. And that's going to suck.
Reunite him? Yeah. They're going to get stinking Riley.
He's going to bolt from USC, and that's going to be a disaster. And he's going to get Cale Williams playing good football, and that defense is going to erode, and it's going to just be like the bears will then flip into a team that scores a lot and has the worst defense in the nfl what would you say if this happened you'd prefer that though over this yeah i just want i i just want uh i want to go into a game being like we got a we got a head coach that that could out coach the other side hasn't happened in a long-ass time.
What would you think, Big Cat, if the Cowboys fired Mike McCarthy? No. He does win games, but no.
I can't. I've said too many things.
You've said a lot of things. I've said way too many things.
That would be the funniest outcome. For you.
For me, personally, yeah. Jason Garrett would be funny, too.
Season's over. They're they're not going to the playoffs obviously they might not even beat the patriots next week because this is quit watch this is full-on quit watch and uh then they play everyone in the nfc north we're gonna get our teeth kicked in every single week we have a bet let's play the lions on thanksgiving mayor's bet between big cat and hank no i i this team makes team makes me sick.
No. Because they could have quit.
I think that first half, end of first half, was a quit play. And I think this team – I think they know deep down they have a shit head coach who's a loser.
And once the team knows that, like I said, the defense was the last to know because he is a good defensive coach. But once the defense figures it out, it's over.
It's over. Whose line is it anyway for Patriots at Bears? Oh, at Bears? Bears, they've got the longest home winning streak in the NFL.
I think we're probably four-and-a-half point favorites. Maybe five? I think we're probably four and a half point favorites.
May five? I think Big Cat's right. I think it's somewhere in between four and five.
Bears minus seven. You guys are good.
Oh, wow. Yeah, you're good.
Wow. I'm just so down on this team.
I don't know what else to say. I'm so sad.
I'm so stupid. And all the sickos and perverts are so happy that they get to see this.
But the true sickos and perverts should know it. This is not the best way for this to happen.
Yeah. Oh, you wanted it to be more perverse? No, I mean, the true sickos.
You wanted it to be really, really sick. You speak for the sickos and perverts.
You are number one sicko and perverts. We needed you higher before you got this low.
Right, because I only got Jaguars 4-2. Yeah.
Yeah, that was it. That was the peak.
Hang the banner. Beat a terrible Jaguars team to go 4-2.
We needed hope for it. We needed games that maybe were for playoff spots.
At the minimum. It's going into the season.
Yeah, but I... No.
Are we going to go to the Super Bowl? No, no, no, no. I might have said some crazy shit over the summer, but I've been very clear.
I even said, I think, last week and two weeks ago, I was like, if they don't go 4-1 in this stretch, which they didn't, there's no chance at the playoffs. So I knew this.
The back half of the Bears schedule is a gauntlet. We're not winning games against the Vikings, the Packers, and the Lions.
So that's revisionist. I think I said last week we're not going to the playoffs.
When PFT said that we could play. Well, last week, obviously.
Well, we were still four and three. Yeah, but I was talking about before the season.
Yeah, you're right. Summertime, I do get crazy.
I'm sorry that I care about football in the summer, unlike you, golf boy. That's a fact.
Golf boy. You are.
That is a fact. You don't even know.
I love golf. You wouldn't even know your schedule.
I don't care about football in the summer. Yeah.
My favorite part of football season is August because I can get excited, and the possibilities are endless. Hard knocks.
And I get fucking pumped up, and I tell myself it's going to be different, and then slowly the air comes out of the balloon as the year goes along, and then today it was popped. We got to get a a good coach.
Yeah. Don't say we.
It's never going to happen, though. It's never going to happen.
He's speaking for Chicago. They will not hire a good coach.
They will not do it. I actually do feel bad.
We had Bruce Arians in the fucking building, and we hired Mark Trestman instead of him. That's the Bears.
That is exactly what the Bears organization does.

Bruce Arians went on to win a shitload of games with the Cardinals and then a shitload of games with the Bucs,

and we hired Mark Trestman.

I actually think that Robert Salah is going to be a good coach this next time.

They'll hire Robert Salah.

That will definitely be the coach they hire, 100%.

They'll be like, yeah, he's fine.

He's a great interview.

Fucking coach defense. Monst monsters of the midway 1985 you know who was on that 1985 team jeff fisher jeff fisher ron rivera ron rivera as well but jeff fisher as well all right anything else cardinals are good i i'm buying on the cardinals stock I mean the Cardinals so the Cardinals yes good.
I'm buying on the Cardinals stock. I mean, they – Credit to the Cardinals.
So the Cardinals, yes, there's a good chance that the Cardinals make the playoffs. I think they're a pretty good team.
Yeah, four out of five. And I made fun of Jonathan Gannon.
He's a good head coach. We got the wrong guy from the Colts staff.
They told that story today. They're like, oh, yeah, Matt Eberflus' kids babysat – I almost said kidnapped – babysat Jonathan Gannon's kids.
So cute. We got the wrong guy.
Again. Again.
Would you recognize Jonathan Gannon in the street? Yes. Pew, pew.
Explosives, of course. I've watched that video a thousand times.
What if he's wearing a button-up in a vest? I don't think he can go anywhere without saying pew, pew. It's just what he does.
All right, here's a good thing. Here's one good thing that happened to me this weekend.
The Lions beat the shit out of the Packers. And Jordan Love so Lions 24 Packers 14.
This is the only saving grace I had. The Packers also might be in trouble.
Jordan Love does not look healthy right now. And he also loves throwing interceptions.
That one at the end of the first half was absolutely ridiculous. I don't know what he was thinking on that.
It was dummy, dummy play. Wouldn't Jules call them doy-doy plays? Doy-doy plays.
Yeah, Jordan Love's got a few doy-doy plays in him every game, it seems like. He throws some of the funniest non-Jameis interceptions.
But the Lions are just inevitable. You can't stop the Lions.
They've got too many options, too many weapons. It's not like they lit the scoreboard on fire this week.
They played good football. They played good offensive football, but they didn't throttle you like they have in weeks past.
I think they could have if they wanted to, but it was rainy weather, shitty weather, and they got up to a lead, and they're like, we got this. And they did a Dan Campbell where it's like the Packers chose to kick a field goal early in the game, and then the Lions, I think, scored two touchdowns on fourth and ones.
Yeah. And that's what he does.
And it's Dan Campbell, the way he coaches, you know when they're going to go on fourth down. They're so smart with how they operate.
Benson and dan campbell like their third down play sets up their fourth down because they already know right they know when it's still second down right like they're like okay here's what we do if we don't get this we try to pick up some yards on third down then we have an easy fourth down play it never feels like you get to a fourth fourth down with the lions and they're like on the sid being hemming and hawing, being like, I don't know if we should go.

They knew what they were going to do before that.

One thing I've never seen them do is call the think it over timeout.

Right.

I hate the think it over timeout.

That's the worst timeout that you can have in the biz.

Amon Ra was great again today.

Yeah, he wore a Green Bay sucks sweatshirt.

I got to buy one of those.

The Green Bay sucks sweatshirt.

Getting off the bus was pretty intense. Although I think he had Green Bay as one word not two right yeah just pretty disrespectful to the city yep uh and then jerry golf proved he could win an outdoor game in bad weather yeah that's huge huge for jared's confidence yeah he was and it was it was like um the the packers moved the ball like pretty well they just kept on shooting themselves in the foot with drop passes

and penalties and all that stuff and the lions are a team that if you cause any like careless errors they'll just punish you for it i mean you saw it with the with the pick six that was just a bad bad pass and kirby joseph i think that was a sixth interception this year uh and the lions are just they're a wagon wagon, and they're kind of running away with the NFC North, even though I know the Vikings only have two losses, but it feels like the Lions, I don't know how you stop the Lions. Yeah, Jameer Gibbs is just so fast when he gets the ball.
So fast. So they put up a stat I'd never seen before, but I actually thought it was pretty interesting.
They tracked the speed that every ball carrier runs at the line of scrimmage. So crossing the line of scrimmage, Jameer Gibbs is two miles per hour faster than the league average.
So the league average is you're running nine miles per hour when you hit the line. He goes like 11 miles per hour.
That's crazy. And you can see he squirts through a lot of small holes yeah at the line they just the the the lions offense is i think as close to unstoppable as you can get if they're all healthy and james williams has been his his uh suspension is now over it might be but then there was also a report that the the cop in detroit looked the other way when they saw a gun in the car yeah i don't know did he do is it illegal to have a gun i guess i think some not not registered and not put away it was not registered i think his brother might have been in the car and his brother had a gun that was registered to him but then there might have been another gun in the car got it and the uh the cop was like oh yeah you're jamison williams from the lions and his his uh iphone screensaver thing on his lock screen was like a big lions logo yeah and he showed it to me he's like look i'm a big fan of yours so now they're doing an investigation on that cop for whether or not he should have arrested jameson williams lions fan yeah lions are seven and one seven and one's first time since 1956 what's the point of being a pro sports player if you're not gonna get yeah that's just right yeah right that's a real like a sports city that had recent success they would know you you got to look look the other way yeah part of the deal i i uh jordan love is not healthy i don't know why they played him this week when they have a bye week coming up but it felt dangerous to play him in this weather there were a couple he looked he looked not healthy i'm hoping look i know jordan loves good i'm just hoping that he he just keeps throwing dumb interceptions because that's kind of all I have at this point.
Yeah, there were a couple steps that he made on that slick turf where it was like this guy should not be out here trying to cut on that with like an injured groin. And then Malik Willis, he's good.
He's good. Let him play.
And I know the Packers are not a bad team, but it did help me a little that they lost this game. The Packers are on a bye, and then the next game they play is the Bears.
They'll kill us by 100, and I'll have to fucking deal with that, and that will suck really, really bad. But maybe Jordan Love will keep throwing interceptions at really bad times.
That's basically all I've got. Yeah.
It's fun. That's fun to root for.
Yeah. I don't think that the Detroit Lions necessarily need a pass rusher.
They still probably would want one. I know everyone's like, they're going to get one.
Yeah. I think at the end of, think about it.
What I'm saying is I don't think that they're going to overpay for a pass rusher. I agree with that.
I think they're going to get someone because you do need at least an insurance plan, especially when it comes down to a playoff football game. The margin is so thin that having a guy who can win a one-on-one battle in the fourth quarter can be the difference between going to the Super Bowl and not.
Yeah, I mean, it'd be awesome if they got Max Crosby. Yeah, I don't think he's going to.
Mark Davis loves him. Apparently, they just reached out about him today, or maybe yesterday.
Mark Davis did say untouchable. They're still thinking about that.
And I actually, Mark Davis might be the one guy that I think he might be just telling the truth. Yeah.
Because he's, like, Mark Davis doesn't feel like he's playing, like, a game of poker. You don't think he's a shrewd negotiator? No.
Yeah, when it comes to it, it's just a business, and they don't take it personal. Like, he's actually.
He's like Max Crosby is like a son to me. But then Tom Brady might pick up the phone and make a call and be like, hey, you got to do this.
Oh, speaking of Tom Brady in this game, he got mad because Brian Branch got ejected for that helmet-to-helmet hit. Remember that one? It seemed like a pretty dirty hit, pretty bad hit.
I like Brian Branch too, by the way. I think he's one of the most entertaining players of the secondary in the nfl right now but he got he got ejected for that helmet to helmet hit and then brady started to say how that call makes no sense to eject him for it like throw the flag give it 15 yards don't kick him out of the game uh and then all the twitter narcs out there mike florio's of the world various aggregators out there, started pointing out that Tom Brady is technically not allowed to criticize officiating as an announcer.
So what's the NFL going to do about that? It's funny because Tom Brady's got himself into a situation which is basically impossible, where he's not allowed to criticize the officiating as an analyst during a game. Or talk to the teams beforehand.
Yeah. Yeah.
There's really no sense. Tom Brady's just hoping that nobody calls him out on it.
And Florio's not one to keep his mouth shut about that. Yeah.
I also like Brian Branch got a double penalty. Because he flipped the crowd off.
He was flipping off the crowd on the way out and got another penalty. Yeah.
Which is great. But yeah, the Lions are the best team in the NFL.
No, I'll say it. The Chiefs are undefeated, but the Lions are the best team in the NFL right now.
Yeah, I agree. Like, the Chiefs haven't been winning like the Lions have been winning.
Do I think that if the Chiefs played the Lions in the Super Bowl, would I take the Lions? No, because it's Patrick Mahomes and he would just figure figure out a way to do it. But if they were playing next week, you would? Yeah.
If they were playing next week, I would take the Lions. Yeah.
I think the Lions are definitely, without a doubt, the best team in the NFC, and I think you could make a great case that they're the best team in football. Yeah.
Okay. Last two games.
Max, Eagles 28, Jaguars 23. You guys almost blew this game.
Yep. Also, you had two of the coolest plays ever.
Saquon hurtling a guy backwards, and then Devontae Smith's touchdown in the end zone, which was incredible. Yeah, those are both very high moments.
They're a very good football team.

Questionable coaching decisions up and down the board.

Tell us about them.

Tell us about them.

What were the most questionable?

Both of the two-point conversions I'm actually fine with.

Well, you got a penalty on one of them, right?

We got a penalty on both of them.

Yeah.

They were both at the one, which you just do that.

Like, you get a ball at the one, especially the tush push didn't look good today.

We have a lot of linemen that are hurt it does feel like sirianni fell in love with the the idea that he discovered where uh if you have like a timeout in your pocket during the first half and you line up for to go for two just try to get them to commit a penalty and if they don't then call a timeout and kick the extra point. If they do commit a penalty, then guess what? You get to run the two-point conversion from the one-yard line.
Yeah, no, he does love to do that. Whatever.
He also, I feel like you guys need a new two-point play. Yeah.
Like a variation off the tush push. Well, he tried to do that.
Yeah. And it didn't work.
Yeah, that's true. The field goal at the end.
The field goal at the end made zero sense. There were three options.
It was fourth and two, up five, with I think it was just over the two minute. Yep.
There's three options. Go for it on fourth and two.
Win the win the game kick a punt make Trevor Lawrence go the entire distance of the field still up one score or kick a 57 yard field goal to make a one score game a one score game and give a short field if you don't get it. It's the same probability that he kicks that field goal that he does of picking up the fourth and two.
But the fourth and two wins the game, and the field goal makes a one-score game a one-score game. It made no sense.
That decision made zero sense. Yeah, the only really decision there is, no, you just go for it there.

Yeah. I mean, you could punt it, but you just go for it.

End the game.

But the punt is...

The field goal shouldn't even be an option.

The field goal should not be an option.

Correct.

The decision should be go for it or punt it.

The field goal makes zero sense.

Yes, agreed.

But he won the game, and you got to give him credit. The team has looked a lot better coming off the bye.
Yep. So he's got the guys in a position to win, but his in-game decision-making is every single week, it's just the same discussion of, like, he makes the wrong decision every single time.
There just needs to be someone. Big Dom needs to be in his fucking ear after every fourth down and be like, are you sure that's what you want to do here, Nick? You sure this is what you want to do here, Nick? Do you know what he needs? I've said that I need to create this software where when I put in my bets, it just reverses it for me without telling me.
And I never can figure it out, but I just somehow just win all my bets because I'm just reversing it. He needs to say something into the headset and have it just automatically be reversed.
Yeah, that would be great. Yeah.
Where he thinks he's in control. You have his headset connect directly to Big Dom, and then he makes his final call, and then Big Dom changes it.
Or it's just some software that just translates it so his voice comes in with saying the exact opposite thing. Yeah.
The players on the Eagles were fantastic today. Yeah.
Your first half was incredible. Is A.J.
Brown okay? To be determined. That's very important.
To be determined. That's very important.
Also, the scoop and score is one of the craziest things I've ever seen on a football field.

You mean when Saquon just fell?

He got tackled and was down for five seconds, and they did a scoop and score.

They reviewed it and still gave them the touchdown.

Saquon gets tackled.

He falls on the ground.

The ground forces the ball out. The refs rule in real time that he has not been touchdown the jaguars pick the ball up return for a touchdown then they look at it like five times it felt like the longest review ever yeah and then they just ignored the fact that saquon's foot got hit out from under him which made him stumble forward into his lineman fall down and they didn't – Max, if they had fucked you guys over and you lost that game, you should have gone to drastic measures to protest that.
Philadelphia should have. I wanted you to lose that game so bad to take heat off me.
It would have been great. It made no – like, we were watching it in the cave with no sound, and they kept showing the play, and we were like, oh, okay.
Oh, okay, that's fine. It's just going to...
They're going to see it. And then the Jags just started kicking the extra point, and then I just started freaking out because they couldn't hear what was going on.
So I was like, why are they kicking the extra point? Why are they kicking the extra point? Did they do a pull report about it? Did the ref talk about the uh the call because they have to answer for that right yeah so they ever answer to it max i think that they said because he hit the lineman but that happens all the time yeah that was weird it was very weird they just made up a rule in the middle of i think they just fucked up and they were like yeah uh well here's something like that's what i were like, yeah, well, here's something. That's what I think they did.
They were like, here's something. But whatever, they won the game.
Max, I was rooting for the Jaguars to win that game because I just wanted to see you go absolutely nuclear. I wanted to see you at your maddest.
Oh, I was so close. I was so close.
I was so mad. Steven Che was egging me on, which is one of the worst feelings in the world.
Yeah. So, like, state of the union for the Eagles, they're 5-2.
6-2? 6-2. 6-2.
Cowboys and Commanders coming up. I'll ask you this.
If you go 2-0, are you thinking, like,... We're the second best team in the NFC? I'm thinking if we go...
2-0 these next two. If we go 2-0, I'm thinking there's no reason we can't beat the Lions.
Yeah. I love that.
What if you go 0-2? Then we're in big trouble. Sirianni gone.
Yeah. I mean, no.
I don't want to... If if they lost that game Sirian the the city of Philadelphia would have gone nuclear on Sirianni and I would have probably done the same he has got them playing much better football right now the decision making has to be better the in-game decision making has to be better yeah I think that's fair that's a fair thing to say they're playing really hard though yeah the first half i think the jaguars had one first down in the first half yeah the defense the defense was humming yeah and then i mean still even if you if you take away that the defense didn't give up a lot of points and they were and even on that last drive they were working on a short field and then and then nicobe dean makes a huge play to win the game so the defense made big plays when they needed to make big plays the secondary has been awesome which i haven't been able to say about the eagles for a really long time yeah yeah the um your guy from toledo is awesome quinnion mitchell is so good so he got he it's turning into he's a rookie and and he gets no targets.
I think he had one target today the entire game. Quarterbacks are just going away from him.

Do you think you wasted the Kelly Green jerseys on the Jaguars? Because I do. Yeah, I said that before the game started.
Okay, all right. So that was a joke.
Yeah. Those jerseys are incredible.
Yeah. Why wear them against the Jaguars? I don't know.
But counterpoint, that screenshot of Saquon lives forever, and it's so much thicker than it's in the Kelly Green. Yeah, good point.
Good point. And Devontae Smith's catch's catch yeah i didn't even know that it was possible to back hurdle a guy it's some it's so dangerous that's he should not do that again no but if anyone lined him up perfectly he just gets rocked it was it's like jumping over a car it was it was crazy like he just he he found himself he didn't even think about it he just found his feet in that position.
He goes, I guess I'm jumping. And to go backwards over another dude, I've never seen that.
And the craziest part is the spin move before that was incredible. It's going to be the least talked about spin move of all time.
That was so sick. So sick.
Yeah, it was just an incredible highlight. He's so good.
But's like – I think it's fair to say that he's on the McCaffrey level of like he's a running back that can actually make a difference in your offense. As long as he doesn't drop the pass like the Falcons game.
Correct. But yes, other than that, no, I agree.
Saquon is – yeah, he's – you have to be ready for him. He is in that.
It's McCaffrey. It's Bijan.
Derrick Henry. Derrick Henry.
Derrick Henry is different, though, because Derrick Henry will just run over people and run past people. I'm saying McCaffrey, Saquon, Bijan.
Those three guys, if they're in space, you're fucked. If you're one-on-one in space.
Gibbs might be like that, too. Gibbs as well, yes.
Yeah. Those guys are so special that when you just get them in space, the defense can't do anything.
You can't tackle them one-on-one. Yeah.
He's been incredible this year. He's got...
How many yards does Saquon have this year? I think 960. Holy shit.
So he's also... 925.
And he already had his bye. So he's on the same as Derrick Henry 2K watch.
Who did you guys play last week of the season? The Giants? That would be awesome. Because I think it's Cowboys-Commanders last week, I think.
So that would make it That would be awesome if Saquon got. Yeah, so it's Giants at Philly.
If Saquon gets 2,000 yards against the Giants, that would be special. You just got to stay healthy.
Yeah. Pray for health.
Pray for health. Yeah.
Okay. Good for you, Max.
I'm happy you won. No, you're not.
No, I'm not. I'm not.
It just would have been great because it would have just been a really good friend move. Yep.
For you to take some heat off me. Sorry.
Because PFT's team is awesome. Your team is awesome.
Even Memes won. And then the one other guy who lost here just doesn't even give a fuck.
That's not true. He lost Marvin Harrison, though.
Yeah, you did. He lost Marvin Harrison.
I was more locked into my game than probably anyone was on anyone's game today. To the game? You were locked into the football game.
To the game? You were locked into the player. Yeah.
Yeah, the Marvin Harrison thing. I'm sorry, Hank.
It's all right. That was tough.
All right. Rams 26, Seahawks 20.
To wrap it up, this one team had Geno Smith and one team had Matthew Stafford. Yeah, Geno Smith with a couple bad picks.
He threw a great – he had a great drive to end the game to tie it up. Yeah.
What is it with the Seahawks? And I don't know if this is – because this is one thing that, that you know we obviously are watching all the games but every single week without fail you look up and the Seahawks entire team is chasing after a snap that's gone over Gino Smith's head or through his hands what is that the rain every week though yeah it's weird it's it's definitely it happened twice this week I want to say, this is a big win for the rams huge puka nakuha getting ejected in the first half and we for nothing we talked about like puka nakuha is the funnest guy to watch without the ball in his hand sometimes yeah sometimes he like throws a little baby punch and the refs were staring too closely at him he was not the instigator in that he got shoved and then he did like i don't think it was a punch i think it was one of those open-handed face shoves. Crazy ejection.
Which is yeah, if you're going to tell your player to hit somebody in the face, you want them to do the open-handed one and not the fist. Yeah.
Smarter to go open-handed. I guess the one good thing is like he couldn't get banged up.
Yep. Yeah, he was saved.
They put him in preservative for this game. Yeah.
Yeah, Gino had some bad picks today. And Matthew Stafford's overtime

was just perfect football.

He played perfect football

in the overtime. And the Rams,

they looked deader than dead

at halftime. What?

Well, the Seahawks could have kicked

a field goal in overtime to take a lead

and went for it on fourth down. But it wouldn't have mattered.

I don't have that much of a problem with that.

Because if you kick a field goal... It wouldn't matter because they scored a touchdown, but still.
But they would have lost no matter what. Yeah, I just think it was – I didn't like that move.
I have no problem with that move. I guess you could make the argument that the Seahawks offensive line has not been great, so it's like maybe getting one yard is not the easiest.
But, yeah, I mean, you can end the game with a touchdown, right? And it was, what, fourth and two? It was fourth and one. Fourth and one? Yeah.
Yeah, I don't have a problem with him going for it. It was like 50-50 coin flip to kick a field goal.
I could see a lot of coaches kicking that field goal. But I just don't think you want to give it.
Go for it. Yeah, you don't want to give the ball to Matthew Stafford.
He's going to go score a touchdown. Trust your defense.
Yeah, but it's Matthew Stafford, and he's really fucking good. I would like to try to end the game without giving the ball back to Matthew Stafford, and that was the way you could do it.
Otherwise, you're just hoping he doesn't score a touchdown, which he then did no matter what, personally. Also, your defense isn't particularly great.
Jackson Smith and the Jigbo was awesome. He was, yeah.
Would he have like 150? He made just every big catch. And then, what, Cooper Cumberbatch had 11 catches.
But, yeah, the Rams, I'm worried about my pinky. The Rams, Matthew Stafford gives you a chance in any game.
Yeah, they unlock Demarcus Robinson. Yep.
The Rams do next man up at wide receiver better than anybody. It's a combo of coaching and Matthew Stafford.
Yeah. Where it's just like those guys, if you put those guys on any other team, I don't think they'd be nearly as good.
But because they're schemed open by Sean McVay and Matthew Stafford's throwing them the ball, they play to the best of their abilities. Yeah.
But, yeah, the Rams are now very much – I mean, it was two weeks ago that they were basically deader than dead, and they beat the Vikings, they beat the Seahawks, and now they're 4-4 in second place in the NFC West. That's pretty crazy.
Yeah, let's see. What's the Rams schedule coming up? They play the Dolphins, the Patriots, so that's going to be probably 6-4.
I'm going to be nervous about this. Oh my God.
They have, they have the saints still. They do have a tough end of the season.
They play at the end of the season. They play, uh, the bills, 49ers jets, Cardinals, Seahawks.
That could be tough. All potential playoff teams.
All potential playoff teams. Right, Memes? Correct.
Memes, today, without your team playing because they played on Thursday, did you think that you got – like, did you win today? No. Oh, we didn't because of Chargers.
Chargers. Chargers.
Yeah, but what about the Colts and the Broncos? Colts and Broncos both lost. Yeah, that was a win.
That's big. That was big.
Yeah. You can't think about the Chargers.
You've got to think about... You had three teams that you're...
Or the Bengals, I guess, won too, so that's bad. But I have looked into it.
Okay. The Broncos have a gauntlet.
The Steelers also have a gauntlet. Steelers have the hardest schedule.
You have to stop thinking Steelers. Yeah, don't think about the Steelers.
He keeps saying Steelers back here. The Steelers are 6-10.
Well, all the AFC North teams have to play each other still. Right.
And that's going to eliminate. That's going to get some losses there.
Right. Two of them.
I mean, we're not going to win. You're not going to catch.
I don't think you're going to catch the Steelers.

They could just fall off a cliff.

Yeah, but you would have to climb an even bigger cliff.

We might never lose a game again.

Okay.

All right.

Yeah.

All right.

I like it.

You play the Cardinals next week.

The Cardinals are hot.

They could look ahead past us.

They could look ahead past you.

Playing a 36 Jets team. They just won four out of five.
That's the beauty of playing possum, memes. They think that you're dead.
I'm looking at it right now. Memes might not be wrong.
Because if the Bills in week 17 have it all the way wrapped up, they might already be sitting starters. Yeah.
Oh, man. I mean, all the playoff probabilities on this website is a joke uh the vikings did win uh it felt like they uh were sleepwalking the start of the game but their defense looked back because they held uh the colts the colts did not get into the end zone on offense right they had that had that fumble in the first quarter, right? Yeah.
And then after that, not a lot. I'll be honest.
I didn't watch most of this game because we were podcasting while it was going on after halftime. Up until halftime, I was thoroughly unimpressed with both teams.
Yes, but I'll say this. Sam Darnold started bad.
I think he played very well in the second half, and his numbers ended up looking pretty good, and he was finding Justin Jefferson, and Sam Darnold might be a pumpkin. We can put that off for a week.
Well, every time I looked up, Justin Jefferson was making a catch downfield. That's a good strategy if you feel like you're turning into a pumpkin.
Just remember, oh, yeah i've got maybe the best receiver yeah you know 137 yards yeah yeah uh okay should we wrap up with uh who's back of the week i think we got a couple stories we got to talk about with max too uh who's back the week's brought to you by our friends at coors light no matter what happens between your favorite rivals this week you've got a chance to win just go to the pmt instagram tell us how you prepare for a rivalry game with Coors Light for an opportunity to win the Coors Light rivalry shirt five winners will be selected every Saturday until December 7th so remember when rivalries get a little overheated choose chill and keep things cool by reaching for the mountain cold refreshment of Coors Light Coors Light's mountain cold refreshment literally made it chill.

Coors Brewing Company, Golden, Colorado. Henry, who's back of the week? My who's back of the week is dead animals.
Oh, yes. We got to get on this.
Yeah. So this is a problem.
So there is a TikToker in New York who found an injured squirrel. Peanut.

Named him Peanut.

He took him in.

He brought him back to full health.

It's an adorable name.

And then, you know, by that.

Great squirrel.

At that point, it had been domesticated.

So if you let him back out in the wild,

it was going to die.

So he just kept him in his apartment,

posted videos and stuff.

Some hater reported the accounts to the authorities,

and the authorities showed up to his house unannounced,

like with a warrant and stuff, took the squirrel,

took a bunch of documents, and then euthanized Peanut the squirrel.

How?

Memes has his hand up.

Memes has his hand up.

And Fred the raccoon.

And Fred the raccoon. Don't forget about Fred the raccoon.

I was saying earlier that raccoons have a terrible, terrible PR team

because they're like the cutest animal ever,

and everyone treats them like they are actual garbage.

Well, it's rabies.

Yeah, it's rabies.

Rabies is what kills the cuteness of raccoons.

But they're so cute.

I agree.

But that's the bad PR getting into your head

that the first thing you think of when you think of raccoons is rabies when you should be just thinking, oh, they're adorable little animals. I think of Rocky.
Yeah. I think of that old guy YouTube video in the snow, just feeding the raccoons.
Yeah. They're your best friends.
Hank, what? How? How can you go into someone's house and kill their animals?

They confiscated the animal and they just said,

we're going to kill this animal.

They confiscated it and then in order, I guess,

to check if it had rabies, they had to euthanize it.

That is true.

It's the most ass backwards part about checking to see.

Is that like the Salem witch trial?

Yeah.

Like we got to throw them in the water and if they come up, they're a witch like being accused of having rabies as an animal is more deadly than having rabies yeah it's 100% death rate all right so here's why I asked how is because I saw this story and I was like this doesn't there's got to be something I'm missing because otherwise this is the biggest tragedy tragedy travesty of all time i think it's just a karen hater like so this woman is the worst like the guy has a tiktok account and post the video so someone with a stick up their ass is like this can't be allowed like oh my god this is the worst person ever yeah is his neighbor do they also have a tiktok account it might not be a neighbor it might just be a like a follower that you know it could be anyone oh it could be somebody online that saw the video and they're like i'm going to report you they swatted a squirrel pretty much that's fucked up yeah that's so fucked up so i hate this woman woman i think i saw a picture something like they doxed her i didn't see that part i saw that it was an anonymous reporter all right so whoever this person is uh you should you should get rabies somebody should call the the department of animal services on you yeah that this is crazy so justice for peanut and man i feel bad and fred and fred i Fred. Damn.
And who are the who is the guy? Mr. Longo.
And it was he just do you have kids or anything? Was he like could they make the argument that the squirrel was going to was endangering the kids? Like what? I just can't understand this. Officers raided my house As if I was a drug dealer

I was sat outside my house for five hours

I had to get a police escort to my bathroom

I wasn't even allowed

To feed my rescue horses breakfast or lunch

I was sat there like a criminal

After they interrogated my wife

To check out her immigration status

Jesus Christ

This is horrendous

Justice for Peanut

If we have to make a shirt and profit off it

To get the word out there we will

Thank you. status.
Jesus Christ. This is horrendous.
Justice for peanut. If we have to make a shirt and profit off it to get the word out there, we will.
They got a search warrant for departments and a judge signed off on a search warrant for a squirrel and a raccoon and they took them and killed them. I don't want to say that we've got bigger problems as a nation but if you are spending your time writing up a search warrant for a squirrel, you should be called a pussy by that judge.
Yeah. All right.
So we got to get on this case. I don't know.
And we're late to it, but we got to do everything we can and buy everything we can. I mean, I'm just going to tweet out justice for peanut.
Yeah, like... It won't bring peanut back.
They what plot twist oh peanut was a yankees fan oh there's a picture i'm looking at right now of peanut wearing a yankees cap do you think there's a chance that peanut asked to be killed you know it was like take me out yeah i can't watch this this bum Aaron Judge strike out at the plate anymore.

It's a fucking end it right now.

Let me call it feds. Yeah, I'll call the feds on myself.

I want to memes myself.

Yeah.

There's this adorable little squirrel.

He's waiting by the front door for you.

Go pick him up.

When was Peanut killed?

Before or after the Yankees lost?

Did Peanut have to watch that fifth inning?

I think it was on Thursday night.

Oh, my God. Peanut, that's the last Yankees game.
Let me see. Let me see.
I'm looking this up right now. Oh, my God.
This is now the ultimate tragedy. That is animal cruelty.
If you have a pet and you force it to be a Yankees fan. Yeah.
Damn. I guess we have to wait for all the facts to come out.
At least Peanut didn't see. Oh, it was on Wednesday.
So it was before.

So Peanut didn't see the fifth inning.

He did not see the fifth inning. Oh, thank God.

So Peanut actually died not knowing who won the World Series.

Yes.

Okay.

And didn't know that Dak got hurt.

The last memory that Peanut had was the Capo Bianco brothers.

Which I'm sure Peanut was a big fan of.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Okay. Damn, that's depressing.
Okay. Who's your who's anything else i like your uh pants thanks they're valor yeah i know say they valor uh okay buy them why'd you say that in a way that i'm missing something i don't think you are missing anything yeah i was wondering if you bought them or if they were stolen velour.
It came off the back of a truck. I've had these for a long time.
PFT, your Who's Back of the Week. My Who's Back of the Week is college basketball.
Yeah. College hoops tonight.
Big slate tonight. Yeah.
I think almost every ranked team is playing, right? A lot of them are, yeah. A lot of them are.
The big one's going to be Baylor-Gonzaga late night. But, yes, college basketball is back big time.
Maine and Duke, the Cooper flag game. Wow.
It's going to be bad blood out there. It's good to have different sports on.
Oh, I love college basketball. The college basketball feast week is one of my favorite weeks of the year, and I lose everything, but I love it.
I love it. All right, my who's back of the week is Philadelphia sports figures getting into fights with various people.
So we had two. And I actually think, as a podcast, I think we take the side of both the Philadelphia sports figures.
I think one's definitely cut and dry. The Kelsey one.
So if people missed it, there was a – I think, was he at the Penn State game? Penn State game, correct. Yeah, he was just – why doesn't Jason – I guess he doesn't need security, but also, like, why was he walking with, like, beers in his hand? Like, he's just a man of the people.
All right, so the thought occurred to me after, I'd say, six hours of just heavy discourse online about Jason Kelsey. You had some people saying, like most people, I'd say 95% of people were like, Jason Kelsey did nothing wrong.
Let the man go ahead. So to set the scene, he was walking, and there was a Penn State kid walking with his phone out being a piece of shit, and he was like, is a f-bomb uh for dating uh taylor swift and jason kelsey turned around grabbed his phone smashed it through the crust of the earth awesome spike and then there was another clip after that he walked off with the phone and the kid was like give me my phone back give my phone back phone back.
And Jason Kelsey said, who's the F word now? Which, again, I have no problem. That guy brought the F word into it.
Yeah, fair play. He wasn't saying it derogatory.
He was just saying, you brought this into this. Why would you be such a loser to make fun of my brother and stick a phone in my face? So I stand with Jason Kelsey.
Yeah, I think he was was in the right the guy had the phone and he was like screaming at him and very clearly like harassing him and foaming around so what was the thought that occurred the thought that occurred to me was uh was there any chance that was a viral ad for garage beer that just got way out of hand oh maybe the garage beer was prominently featured in in every angle of every video that i saw Interesting. And maybe it got out of hand and somebody posted it and then it was like, oh shit.
Oh. We've really lost the narrative on this one.
Oh. Because he was holding the case.
And I mean, I tweeted this out, but the first thing I noticed was him holding the case of beer with his pinky finger and then also holding a beer in that same hand, which is not a guy that you want to fuck with the guy that's just walking around casually drinking out of his 12 ounce can while also raising the entire case up to his mouth yeah that's probably a guy that can kick a lot of ass um but yeah the the the beer was prominently displayed in all angles i don't think it was fake but i'm very woke when it comes to stuff like that where it's like...

We've seen a lot of stuff online.

Yeah, I mean, I was just confused

why Jason Kelsey was

walking by himself

in that situation.

Again, he's a man of the people.

What, Hank? I don't think it's that crazy.

We walk through crowds

and tailgates. Maybe he has security.

He doesn't need security. This kid was a piece of shit i there's no other way to put it kid was a piece of shit jason kelsey uh was ever was in the right also jason kelsey's just like not someone you want to fuck with yeah in general i think he's he's just a pretty normal dude yeah who just wants to be left alone and drink beer yeah so respect to him i did see people being like do you not know what the first amendment is the first amendment like jason kelsey it doesn't protect you from jason kelsey smashing your phone yeah and you deserve your face yeah so max you're good with all this yeah of course the the other funniest part is that the guy like tried to fake step to him for maybe a half of a second yeah it was like this is a really bad a really bad idea.
This is like one of the worst people on the planet that you should be trying to start anything with. Correct.
I think Jason Kelsey should be commended for not beating the fuck out of this guy. Yes.
Yes, for sure. Showing what you imagine.
He's literally just in his face saying that about his brother for the worst reasoning of all time

by the way right that his brother dates one of like the most beautiful supermodel or pop stars in the world she's one of the most popular pop stars in the world okay she is we don't want to make comments about her i don't want to talk about her let's not reduce i don't i don't see i don't see looks.

Okay.

I don't see.

We don't see sight.

I don't see looks.

I don't want to talk about her looks. Let's not reduce her.
I don't see looks. Okay.
I don't see. We don't see sight.
I don't see looks. I don't see gross revenue ticket sales.
Yeah. I don't boil down Taylor Swift to looks like you.
Also, Max, by saying she's one of the most beautiful pop stars in the world, that's going to have Taylor Swift fans mad at you. One, for commenting on her looks.
Two, for not saying the most beautiful pop stars. Yeah, where's me? A guy like me? I don't see looks.
All right. Disavow my comment.
Okay, thank you. I admire her brains.
Yep, me too. Mm-hmm.
And then the other one was Joel Embiid shoved a reporter. Now, this one, you could make an argument against Joel Embiid, but I am not because I am on Joel Embiid's side.
This reporter, Marcus Hayes, wrote an article basically calling Joel Embiid. So this is where he said, Joel Embiid consistently points to the birth of his son, Arthur, as a major inflection point in his basketball career.
He often says that he wants to be great to leave a legacy for the boy named after his little brother who tragically died in an automobile accident when Embiid was in his first year as a 76er well in order to be great at your job you first have to show up for work and then goes on to talk about how he hasn't played and all that stuff this guy's a piece of shit because you can write an article about Joel Embiid not playing load management being injured and never bring up his son or his uh dead brother Yeah, so the second part of that, saying in order to be great at your job, you have to show up for work, you can just take all the context of the family out of it. Correct.
Joel Embiid wants to be great at basketball. To be great, you have to show up for it.
You can do that and do the hot take column where you're like, Joel Embiid is soft for not playing more. He's disappointing the city.
You can say all that stuff, but then to just tie it into your family. And I haven't seen the video of Joel.
Is there a video of Joel Embiid? How is there not video? There's definitely video. What's his name? What's his name? TikToks.
Huh? What's his name? TikToks. Oh, Jerry McCain.
Jerry McCain was definitely doing a TikTok. He was probably dancing with Joel Embiid, shoving someone in the background.
No, I find it very hard to believe that there's no video, but I think that everyone is on, everyone outside of Marcus Hayes is on Joel Embiid's side of this in the locker room. So I'm pretty confident that everyone just was like, hey, let's not release this because this guy deserves it.
The argument against Joel Embiid here is like, you just shouldn't shove a reporter. But again, I'm not going to make that argument because this guy's a piece of shit.
You don't have to bring up Joel Embiid's family. Also, fuck Keith Pompey for initially saying that he punched him.
He's a punch, yeah. A shove and a punch.
Well, that's what makes it really different. That's what makes me think it was maybe closer to a punch than it was.
That's why I want to see the video. No, but there's a lot of people that were also in there that says that it was barely a shove.
Well, they could just put the video out and put this case to rest, no? I don't have the video. We need the video.
DM Jeremy Kane. But wouldn't you agree that them not putting the video out leads to the conclusion that it was probably more likely worse than just a shove? No, I think it was a light shove.
Now, I will say that Marcus Hayes could get me back on his side if he shows up to the next press conference with a neck brace on. That would be funny.
That would be funny. I just know that when hank says wouldn't you say uh it's about to be a fucking banger after that yeah hank's deep in his yeah wouldn't you say wouldn't you agree that wouldn't you say we need to see the video and we are on joel and beat side yeah i think if he if he like shoved him and it wasn't anything particularly violent, there was no chance of him getting injured.

If it was just a shove like, fuck you, buddy.

If it was one of those, that's well within his rights.

It was a big weekend for Philly sports stars following up like,

talk shit, get hit.

Yeah.

Yeah.

And those are our two guys.

Yeah.

And I have no problem with either because these guys are talking

massive amounts of shit for no reason.

Just being shitty people. And Joel Embiid's backing up.
Everything he's done for the city, he deserves a break. Max? Yeah, I agree.
Everything? Agree, yes. What exactly has he done for the city? He puts his body on the line and plays.
Well, not if Jokic. Not if it's Jokic in Denver.
In the playoffs, the whole Jokic in Denver. Joel Embiid fucking eats Jokic Not if it's Jokic in Denver In the playoffs, the whole Jokic in Denver Joel Embiid fucking eats Jokic for lunch every time they play The fact that people Nitpick that just because It's not on the road Their numbers, Embiid dominates it In Denver? Yeah All the fucking Embiid haters And which there are plentiful Love to nitpick Every little thing and find One real So what has he done What has Jokic done in Philly How about that question How about that question No the question was what has Embiid done for Philly He's probably won a couple couple games.
He's probably gone out to eat. He's made the Philadelphia 76ers a relevant basketball program.
Did you say irrelevant? A relevant basketball program that when he joined. Program? Yes.
I always say program. You always get on me for this.
Because I say every team's a program. The 76ers, a relevant basketball program.
A relevant basketball program when they came from the bottom of the league. By choice.
By choice. You're right.
By choice. Would love to be.
But by choice. They did the process.
I don't give a fuck. Every team does the process now.
Every fucking team does the process. Since 2013, do you you think have made the second round of the playoffs? It doesn't matter.
But they're still in the top half of the league every year. Where's relevancy? They've made the second round.
Yeah, same spot. Is relevancy the second round? I mean, they won seven games with the Celtics.
That's relevancy? Yes I mean, it's still like you're still contending. They're not like good contenders.
Joe Embiid gets hurt every fucking year. Fuck you guys.
I'm done. They actually had a 3-2 lead in that series, too.
He took off the 7-2. Game six at home.
I just want to know where relevancy is. Is it? It's definitely not the fucking Bulls.
I know it's not. I never claimed they were.
I would say that we'd probably talk about the Sixers the second most of all NBAs. I'm not even trolling.
I'm just generally curious. Shut the fuck up.
You're not trolling, you pussy. Of course you're trolling.
It's the only thing you fucking do on that couch. When he says, I've done so much for the city, you think Philly fans are thinking, yeah, you know what, Joel, you have.
No, property taxes. He probably pays a lot.
He's just saying he has done so much because he gets hurt every fucking year in the playoffs, and he plays hurt every fucking year, and I'm sure it's not good on his body long term. That's what he's saying.
Got it. He's a unicorn of a human that should not be playing as much basketball as he is, and he does it, and he's probably not going to be able to walk in 20 years because of it.
So that's what he does for the city. But he doesn't have to play that much basketball.
Yeah, well, now he's not doing it so that he can play in the playoffs and be healthy. Right, but he doesn't have to play that much in the playoffs either.
What do you guys don't make the playoffs? Right. What do you mean we don't make the playoffs? What was the last time we didn't make the playoffs, Hank?

What if?

Tell me the last time we didn't make the playoffs.

Well, I didn't ask.

I said, what if?

He said, what if?

I can also barely hear what you're saying.

Yeah, you took off your headphones.

You said, what if you don't make the playoffs?

They're going to make the playoffs.

What's their record?

Paul George is playing tonight.

If the PFT, would you look it up?

If the playoffs started today, would they make the playoffs?

Okay, I'm looking it up right now. They're 1-4.
So they wouldn't make the playoffs. Oh, 1-4.
What are we going to do five games into the season? Well, it's going to be 1-5 because you're going to lose to the Suns tonight. Paul George is playing.
What's interesting is they are in second to last in the East. The Wizards would make the playoffs if they start tomorrow.
Congrats. Hang a banner.
Oh, wow. Five games into the season, the Washington Wizards would make the playoffs.
The Bulls would be the fifth seed. Wow.
Congrats. Pretty crazy.
Any more questions? I just was wondering, like, he puts his body on the line, but he doesn't have to play that many playoff games. He also gets paid like a gazillion dollars.

And he doesn't have to play that many playoff games.

At max, he has to play 14 playoff games.

Right?

We're done with this.

He does.

Am I right, Hank?

You've said your piece.

Am I right?

He puts his body on the line for the city.

He put his body on the line for the MVP,

and then he just stopped, like, playing after that.

That's not incorrect. It's like Joel Embiid and Cops both put their lives on the line for the city of Philadelphia.
And he also doesn't put his body on the line in Denver. USA, though, that was cool.
It was nice that his body was available to be on the line in the summer. Yeah, it was nice for Jason Tame to send that thing out.
He actually could have. It would have been more apt for him to say, I've done so much for this country.
Yeah. Because he's won something for this country.
Yeah, he's done just as much for me as he has for you, Max. More.
Yeah, it's true. All right.
Good show, boys. But again, we stand by Joel Embiid and pushing that guy.
We want 100% stand by Joel Embiid. I want that that to be very clear yes i and kelsey we stand by both those guys also the guy that i'm maybe i'm being too woke about this you know the guy that was talking shit to kelsey hoodie sunglasses cap pulled real low i'm just saying what if it was what if it was a big viral ad? I feel like they would have used it.
It's a different word. Yeah.
But it got out of hand. Ambitious ad to be like, just drop the F slur.
Yeah. But also, it would have been a great ad.
It would have been a great ad. It worked.
It was the talk of... Also, it could have also been a plant by James Franklin to be like, hey, can you get this video viral so no one can talk about me not beating Ohio State for the millionth year in a row?

I think that was before the game.

Yeah.

Yeah, but he knew.

But he knew.

Yeah, he knew.

He did know.

We are.

What was that?

That's Penn State fans.

We are.

Numbers.

Three.

Five. Let's go 21.
Three. Five.

Let's go 21.

Four.

Eleven.

Oh, jeez.

Hank just took Shane's number.

Did Hank say 21?

Yeah, he took 21.

Fuck.

So it's bullshit.

It's Embiid's number.

I wasn't.

You're taking 21 for a year, man.

You don't own a number.

15.

Pug?
