NFL Week 15, Bills Statement Win, Lions Are Back And Kadarius Toney May Be A Sleeper Cell Sent To Destroy The Chiefs

Speaker 1 Hey, pardon my take, listeners.

Speaker 2 You can find every episode on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or YouTube. Prime members can listen ad-free on Amazon Music.

Speaker 6 Man, I'll tell you what, when you're hungry out there, you start acting like a rookie quarterback in his first game, making bad decisions, messing up the basics, being all out of sorts.

Speaker 6 That's where Snickers comes in, man. That thing is packed.
Roasted peanuts, nugget, caramel, milk chocolate. It's like the MVP of candy bars.

Speaker 6 And when you bite into it, boom, it sorts you out, gets your head back in the game of life, satisfying your hunger. Remember this: Snickers handles your hunger so you can handle everything else.

Speaker 6 Snickers satisfies, man. That's a winning play.

Speaker 11 On today's part of my take, week 15 of the NFL.

Speaker 14 We have some big things to talk about Saturday and Sunday football.

Speaker 15 The Buffalo Bills absolutely kick the shit out of the Cowboys, and they're looking good.

Speaker 20 We have the lions back on track, the Bears Gateway game gateway closed,

Speaker 24 and we're going to talk about everything from this weekend of football.

Speaker 15 We got also who's back of the week, fastest two minutes.

Speaker 28 When cool, creamy ranch meets tangy, bold buffalo, the whole is greater than the sum of its sauce. Say howdy, partner, to new Buffalo Ranch sauce, only at McDonald's for a limited time.

Speaker 29 At participating, McDonald's.

Speaker 30 Okay, let's go.

Speaker 30 No place to hang out or washing.

Speaker 30 And then I can't name all on the sun.

Speaker 30 Oh, no, we're gonna rock down to Electric Avenue.

Speaker 30 And then we'll take it higher.

Speaker 30 Oh, we're gonna rock down to Elene Trick IV.

Speaker 6 It's part of my take.

Speaker 2 Isn't it about Marshall Sports?

Speaker 32 Welcome to part of my take.

Speaker 35 Today is Monday, December 18th, week 15.

Speaker 27 I'm not gonna whoop.

Speaker 2 I have no whoops.

Speaker 2 Give me a whoop, Max.

Speaker 39 We start in Detroit where Dan didn't hear no Cam Bell and the Lions got off the mat in a big way.

Speaker 40 Sam LeBron Porta said not one, not two, but three touchdowns as Detroit went up and down the field on the Broncos defense.

Speaker 40 Sean Connery Payton said he doesn't think there's anything wrong with hitting your quarterback with a verbal tirade for the whole world to see as he screamed at Russell Wilson for not holding on to the rock, reminding everyone that there are no untouchables going into next year.

Speaker 32 Lions 42, Broncos 17. What?

Speaker 45 We go out to the Queen City of Cincinnati where the Bengals host the Vikings.

Speaker 49 And in a tribute to our Spanish-speaking friends, we're going to spice this up with some Sin-A-Men.

Speaker 49 Big dick Nick Mullins has take over the starting job, and he found a connection throwing some mighty ducks to Jordan Bombay Addison.

Speaker 49 The Bengals offense responded, giving their fans a heart attack, throwing a TD to Supercharged Panera Ice T.

Speaker 2 Higgins.

Speaker 46 Very cool.

Speaker 53 Jake Browning and his roster of Mr.

Speaker 49 Positions bent the Vikings' defense over, and the defense took the tush push into the A-gap.

Speaker 49 Seven minutes and Evan McPherson stepped up big, and the Bengals are making out like bandits, winning 27-24.

Speaker 43 In Cleveland, where the Chicago Bears once again blow a 10-point fourth-quarter lead, leaving fans wanting to blow something else out.

Speaker 56 Their brains out of the back of their heads.

Speaker 43 It was Alex Amari Cooper using the Gluck Gluck 9000 to suck the life out of the Bears yet again as Chicago tried to make a last-second Hail Mary only to have Darnell, you never give me your Mooney.

Speaker 32 You only put the Bears back in the funny papers as he watched the ball drop out of his hands for a loss. Browns 20, Bears, 17.

Speaker 32 What?

Speaker 37 What?

Speaker 51 Up to the frozen tundra where Tucker Carlson Kraft and Aaron Alex Jones were trying to move the Packers in the right direction, telling the Bucs D, I'll beat your goddamn ass, you son of a bitch, you piece of shit, you fucking goddamn fuckers.

Speaker 2 But that didn't deter the Bucs offense as Co-Qeefed, Squeak went out, and Mike Bob Evans pulled out his big meaty sausage on the way to the end zone.

Speaker 45 Folks, have you heard this one before?

Speaker 49 They're saying it's no longer Lambeau Field and now Mayfield as Baker owned the Packers on Sunday.

Speaker 45 Bucks 34, the Green Bay Packers 20.

Speaker 38 Okay, we head now down to South Florida, where we have our correspondent Memes on the sideline.

Speaker 60 Memes.

Speaker 61 We head down to Miami where the clock struck midnight on the Solarella story.

Speaker 2 Zach Wilson suffered a head injury from a chub.

Speaker 61 Nailing Models did his best Leo impression and fuck Zach Wilson before he turned 25. Country Roads, take me home to the place we belong.

Speaker 62 Out of the playoffs, Dolphins 30, Jets zero.

Speaker 34 Okay, we head out to Foxborough with our friend Henry Lockwood on field.

Speaker 46 Hinboom.

Speaker 64 In Foxborough, Bailey Mbappe was in his onion bag early, getting on the board early with a connection to hunter Henry Wrinkler, who found a hole in the Chiefs' defense.

Speaker 64 Patrick Berg and Mahomes couldn't hit a cow's backside with a banjo early, throwing two interceptions, including one

Speaker 64 right off of Kadarius Tony Soprano's hands, who if we were up to Chiefs fans, would end up swimming with the fishes after that performance.

Speaker 64 Kevin Kamala-Harris said, we did it, Joe, after rushing in for a touchdown, but it was not enough to steal the game from the Chiefs.

Speaker 65 Chiefs win.

Speaker 44 A lot to a little.

Speaker 41 That was a good announcement.

Speaker 52 47 cents. Announcement.

Speaker 2 I liked it. I liked it.
Good job, Boom.

Speaker 51 Thanks, Boom. We go out to Los Angeles where Pukaman Gogh and Pikachu Cup saw all those balls and said, we're going to catch them all.

Speaker 54 Meanwhile, the Washington Commanders played like absolute ash. Cameron 3 Cheeseman and Bong Rivera helped their team get really high.

Speaker 50 Draft picks.

Speaker 54 And I haven't seen a blue-dressed opponent put a stain on a Washington commander's legacy like this says Monica Lewinsky.

Speaker 54 At the end of the game, the commies mount to furious comeback and with damn near five minutes left and the ball at the one-yard line, oh,

Speaker 44 for the wrongest time.

Speaker 51 Oh,

Speaker 37 for the wrongest time.

Speaker 54 I intend to hold else for the wrongest time. Ron Rivera is an insane person who should not be allowed within 500 yards of a football field, losing to the Rams 28-20.

Speaker 55 To Buffalo, where James Cookout served up all the yards at a very reasonable price as the Cowboys' defense looked like a giant drive-through.

Speaker 32 Dak Wilson Prescott struggled to get the offense going all Sunday and in an out-of-character experience was seen running from a cougar at Oliver all game.

Speaker 32 And Sean McDermott told his team they could learn a lot from Dr.

Speaker 40 Robert Oppenheimer and the creation of the atomic bomb and how to stick it to McCarthyism.

Speaker 30 And Teach?

Speaker 46 No one circles the wagons like the Buffalo Bills. You're supposed to say Yaboom.

Speaker 51 Teach? Yeah, boom.

Speaker 68 No one circles the wagons like the Buffalo Bills.

Speaker 44 Bills 31.

Speaker 37 Cowboys 10.

Speaker 69 Standing on a corner, Jameis Winson down in Nola.

Speaker 71 Such a fine sight to see.

Speaker 71 It's pregame, my lord, and the Giants are warned he packed his own bag and you know it's louis come on de vo you're getting beat

Speaker 67 though

Speaker 44 don't listen to the haters who call you gweeno

Speaker 2 sites go marching 24 to 6 hey it's pft here reminding you that boarshead makes game day entertaining elevated and effortless whether you order catering platters ahead from your local boarshead retailer or you create your own spread at home with Boarshead premium deli meats and cheeses, you are sure to impress your guests.

Speaker 2 My favorites like oven gold turkey or blazing buffalo-style chicken, paired with their classic Vermont cheddar or creamy Munster cheese, are sure to score big and help me elevate my entertainment every time, whether it's for a tailgate or a home gating celebration.

Speaker 2 Seriously, guys, it's a game-changing flavor for every gathering. Boarshead, committed to craft since 1905.

Speaker 21 Okay, week 15 in the books.

Speaker 73 I apologize to everyone. I'm losing my voice.
It happens once a year.

Speaker 75 It's very frustrating.

Speaker 39 I don't drink.

Speaker 20 I don't party.

Speaker 47 It's all the Coke.

Speaker 76 No, I don't do anything but fucking work and parent and not sleep.

Speaker 43 And then I wake up one day a year being like, where the fuck did my voice go?

Speaker 78 Quick question.

Speaker 2 What does work entail? Does it entail talking a lot? Yeah. That might be it.

Speaker 39 Yeah.

Speaker 73 And not sleeping is probably not great.

Speaker 13 So fighting, I'm going to fight.

Speaker 31 I apologize to everyone.

Speaker 73 If I wake up tomorrow and I still can't speak, I'll shut it down for a whole day.

Speaker 2 We'll take a day off.

Speaker 74 Shut it down for the whole day.

Speaker 42 Yeah, no, Hank.

Speaker 80 Clear my schedule.

Speaker 81 Hank is eyeing that seat. Hear that?

Speaker 2 Hank is eyeing that seat. Clear my whole goddamn schedule.
We got the chilliest part.

Speaker 27 Well,

Speaker 26 cleared. I'll just have to be a mime.

Speaker 68 I'll have to be like,

Speaker 82 I feel like Darko didn't talk a lot.

Speaker 2 Hank is thinking about sitting in that seat, taking over. I think Hank is like kind of.
No, he doesn't.

Speaker 44 He's

Speaker 59 like, he's like filled the billy roll.

Speaker 42 No, no, no, no. No, no.

Speaker 82 There's one person who's filled the billy roll.

Speaker 52 Sitting right there. there.

Speaker 2 Max? No.

Speaker 82 Jake would love to sit in this seat.

Speaker 44 He would love to sit in this seat.

Speaker 84 What do you mean? He's got his voice.

Speaker 85 It's your guy's show.

Speaker 41 No, I'm just fucking with you, Jake.

Speaker 66 Yeah, I apologize to everyone. We're going to get through it, though.

Speaker 86 Week 15.

Speaker 2 Great week of football.

Speaker 45 We're great week of football.

Speaker 3 We are watching the third quarter of Jags Ravens right now as Trevor Lawrence finally gets them off or on the board with an awesome touchdown pass.

Speaker 2 They had two missed field goals in the first half, one of which hit the upright. They had a fumble inside, was it inside the 20?

Speaker 38 You can't even say that was a fumble.

Speaker 82 He just dropped the ball.

Speaker 23 He got scared.

Speaker 2 Yeah, he got spooked when he was about to get tackled. Honestly, that's what I would do if I was a quarterback.
Yeah, I'd just be like,

Speaker 36 he just was like, now I have it, now I don't.

Speaker 47 It wasn't like someone hit it.

Speaker 82 He just dropped the ball.

Speaker 2 It could have been technically considered an illegal forward pass, the way that he just dropped it forward. A little shovel pass forward.

Speaker 2 And then, yeah, they had the debacle at the end of the half where the Jaguars are just allergic to the end zone until they hit that deep strike.

Speaker 2 But I have no idea what Doug Peterson was thinking at the end of that half. No.
It was all time. Well, second to Ron Rivera, worst clock management.

Speaker 68 Well, that can also be Trevor Lawrence.

Speaker 88 You got to know, situationally, to spike the ball.

Speaker 2 Or throw it to the end zone. Yeah.

Speaker 74 But yeah, we'll update that game once it's over.

Speaker 78 But we had this week the return of Saturday football.

Speaker 13 So we're going to start with Saturday.

Speaker 78 We'll go in chronological order on Saturday, then we'll hop into Sunday.

Speaker 68 But Saturday football, Saturday NFL, it sneaks up on us every year.

Speaker 11 It's always a nice little treat.

Speaker 5 But there is that moment like,

Speaker 56 I don't know what you were doing on Saturday, but like Bengals Vikings, I had to be like, I had to kind of get everyone in my household understanding like, hey, there's NFL about to be on.

Speaker 79 Just so you know, like, I know this is not normal, but like dad's going to go and watch some NFL right now.

Speaker 2 I had to, basically, what you have to do is you have to give up your Friday night.

Speaker 2 I went to a holiday market on Friday night that I was going to go to on the Saturday to buy Christmas gifts, which is not how I would ideally like to spend my Friday evening.

Speaker 2 So you get those tours out of the way on Friday, and then you can be a total piece of shit all day long on Saturday.

Speaker 2 My only request to the NFL, and I remember last year, the game that was on that Saturday was the Jeff Saturday game, where it was the Colts against the Vikings, the comeback, where they had the historic comeback, which was an awesome game.

Speaker 2 But I would prefer it if those games... don't start until maybe a little bit later on the afternoon.
Yeah, noon is early.

Speaker 2 Do like the weird time that you start the game that you kick off like on like Thanksgiving where maybe you kick off at like 2.30. Yeah.

Speaker 2 You kick off at like 3.30 or something like that for the first game.

Speaker 2 Give me some time to like be a human being on Saturday before I have to just be like physically part of my couch for the next two days. Yes.

Speaker 3 And it was also, I mean, bowl games, college basketball games. It was...
I love this time of year.

Speaker 47 It's like, what do I want to do?

Speaker 78 I want to sit on my couch and watch everything.

Speaker 2 I'll tell you what this game was, though. The Bengals Vikings.
This was max case in point for you.

Speaker 2 This is what the Eagles need to show the competition committee to be like, you should not ban the tush push because it's not an automatic first down.

Speaker 2 Turns out that when you have a player that weighs probably about as much as Hank lining up behind center, trying to push your quarterback forward, it doesn't really work that way.

Speaker 82 Well, he also fumbled the snap.

Speaker 11 Yeah. That also didn't help.

Speaker 97 Yeah, Max is so good.

Speaker 41 So he got blown up.

Speaker 66 Max is so annoying that every time the tush push doesn't work, he just goes on a tirade where he's like, thought it was automatic.

Speaker 88 You guys do it the best.

Speaker 99 I don't think anyone disagrees.

Speaker 48 the eagles do it the best but yes that was a tough one tough look this was also a game that we had the vikings it felt like they completely squandered an opportunity to to like get even further into the playoff picture because they were up 17 three with like four minutes left in the third quarter.

Speaker 79 They had completely confused Jake Browning for two and a half quarters.

Speaker 56 And then the Viking, and then the Bengals come roaring back.

Speaker 33 T.

Speaker 102 Higgins with one of the coolest catches ever

Speaker 56 when he caught it with his back to the end zone zone and was able to twist the ball around the defender.

Speaker 31 And it was just like time and time again, the Vikings.

Speaker 3 Like, I know Nick Mullins looked better than Josh Dobbs because everyone does.

Speaker 13 But those two interceptions, especially the one where he's falling to the ground,

Speaker 11 that was when

Speaker 47 wanting to make a play goes wrong.

Speaker 104 Like, there's points where it's like, hey, dude, it's okay to take a sack.

Speaker 2 Well, he couldn't believe that it got picked off after he got swung to the ground and he tries to just throw the ball away.

Speaker 2 And it ended up being, I think we'll have to get some sort of stat like Amazon Web Services or whatever Jeff Bezos' stat machine is. Tell me if that was the shortest thrown interception of all time.

Speaker 2 Because it might have been. I think it was like a two-foot pass.
Mullins was trying to throw it away. And then as Mullins is getting up, he's motioning to the referee.
That wasn't a fumble.

Speaker 2 I passed it. I threw that.
That's like, no, no, I got a guy. It's like, no, it actually hit the guy in his face, then in his dick, then his knee.
Then he caught it. It was like, oh, holy shit.

Speaker 2 Here's a football.

Speaker 23 I have a football now. Yeah.
Just like,

Speaker 3 I'm going to go down trying to make a play.

Speaker 89 Sometimes just don't make that play.

Speaker 13 But yeah, that was, I walked away from it being like, well, so the Bengals are very much live for the playoffs.

Speaker 1 Are they in the playoffs right now?

Speaker 44 I think they would be, yes.

Speaker 82 I think they're a sixth seed.

Speaker 19 And the Vikings,

Speaker 34 they should have won that game.

Speaker 56 They weren't able to close it out.

Speaker 3 But now I'm back to being like Bengals team of destiny, Nick Foles, Jake Browning.

Speaker 38 Like, that first half, Jake Browning looked bad.

Speaker 105 You're like, oh, shit, this is why he's the backup.

Speaker 107 And then the second half, he kind of woke up and started started figuring some stuff out.

Speaker 82 And the Bengals are,

Speaker 36 I can't believe that the Bengals are like actually kind of a scary team.

Speaker 2 They're feisty. Right now, they'd be the sixth seed.
They would travel to Kansas City. The Jabroni Mayor of Cincinnati would get his chance at revenge.

Speaker 2 Travis Kelsey.

Speaker 23 They also had a bunch of injuries.

Speaker 88 They get injuries every game.

Speaker 2 They do, yeah. I actually,

Speaker 2 I came away, like, not so much impressed with Nick Mullins. I think I'd just forgotten about Nick Mullins because every time he plays, I'm like, oh, yeah, this dude's got a little shit to him.

Speaker 2 He's got a little gunslinger in him. Yeah.

Speaker 2 And the throw that he had to Jordan Addison, which was the all-time no, no, no, no, no, yes throw, where he just like whipped it across his body, let Jordan make a play on it.

Speaker 2 Those are the plays that you get with Big Dick Nick.

Speaker 1 Yeah, Nick Mullins is

Speaker 100 a great case of, if you just take out the two red zone interceptions, he had a great game.

Speaker 22 Yeah.

Speaker 68 And I feel like you can say that almost every time.

Speaker 2 That one was kind of a fluke, kind of a fluke interception. But yeah,

Speaker 2 he will make a couple plays. That's why I think

Speaker 2 he's the ultimate like backup gunslinger right yeah i don't think a team will ever commit to nick mullins as being like the guy ever but he's fun at least you'll say this about nick when he plays you want to watch the game because he's going to do some crazy shit that's awesome he's going to do some crazy shit that's stupid yeah and i like nick mullins i think i think he might be a listener to the show i we got to get nick mullins like uh either an ice bath for his face or like one of those like the things that you rub the chicks rub yeah he was looking a little puffy i rubbed i rubbed one out the other day with one of those ice things on my face.

Speaker 44 Wait, okay. Yeah, no, no.

Speaker 2 I actually rubbed two out because it was both my eyes. Those are very...
They work. They work.

Speaker 39 You weren't a lot of cosmetic

Speaker 2 changes, right? Well, no,

Speaker 2 I had one in my freezer, and I was like, you know what? I had a couple drinks on Friday night at the holiday festival. I'm going to rub my face out, and it felt awesome.

Speaker 2 I highly recommend that.

Speaker 73 I feel like Nick Mullins might have just continued with his holiday plans of like drinking on like a random Thursday night or whatever,

Speaker 109 not realizing he had to start an NFL game.

Speaker 100 But I do like watching him play.

Speaker 19 He raises the ceiling for what the Vikings offense was with Josh Dobbs, who was pathetic the last couple times.

Speaker 2 Yeah, that was pretty bad the last couple weeks watching Josh Dobbs. You know what Nick Mullins has? It's not like resting bitch face.
It's resting stung by bees face. Yeah.
And always like

Speaker 2 red and swollen a little bit.

Speaker 23 He feels like he got hit by a shovel.

Speaker 100 He looks like the wet bandits.

Speaker 75 Yeah.

Speaker 3 You know, like the iron came down and hit him when he was walking up the stairs of the facility.

Speaker 2 Yeah, but to your point about the Bengals being like a team of destiny, they definitely believe. like, they think that they can win.
Yeah. That's, that's half the battle.
Like,

Speaker 2 they're, they're fighting hard every single game.

Speaker 15 I think they have tiebreakers over like everyone, too.

Speaker 111 I think they, did they beat the,

Speaker 112 I think they beat the,

Speaker 105 oh no, they lost the Texans, but they beat the Bills.

Speaker 26 Um, this is tiebreaker season.

Speaker 42 They beat the Colts, who will be right around them.

Speaker 36 Yeah, the Bengals,

Speaker 74 AFC, there's no rhyme, like the AFC playoffs, I will not be shocked pretty much with any team that gets to the Super Bowl at this point.

Speaker 39 Yeah, you could, you could see.

Speaker 31 Like, what team would shock you?

Speaker 2 The Colts make it to the Super Bowl. Colts.

Speaker 88 Okay, but that will most likely be, like, if that's not the Colts, if the seventh seed is the Bills, and it's Ravens, Dolphins, Chiefs, Jaguars, Browns, Bengals, Bills.

Speaker 2 I feel like I'd be most shocked out of all those teams to see the Jaguars make it. Yeah.

Speaker 82 But, like,

Speaker 20 it's crazy how wide open the AFC playoffs have become.

Speaker 2 It is, yeah. So the Bengals, what's the the spread? Guess the spread next week, they're traveling to Pittsburgh.

Speaker 2 Bengals at the Steelers.

Speaker 66 I'm going to say Steelers

Speaker 78 minus one.

Speaker 2 I think it might be Bengals minus one.

Speaker 115 Steelers looked real bad.

Speaker 44 What do we got?

Speaker 116 We've got Bengals minus two and a half.

Speaker 10 Oh, and so

Speaker 2 your formula says take the Steelers.

Speaker 3 Yeah, well, all right, so let's just segue to it because the Colts 30, Steelers 13. That was the second game.

Speaker 117 The Steelers were actually up 13-0 in this game.

Speaker 3 And Michael Pittman got hurt, and Zach Moss got hurt, and you would have been like, This is

Speaker 66 this was finding out Santa Claus isn't real because this was the death of the Mike Tomlin spot.

Speaker 43 Mike Tomlin had two back-to-back games, is a home favorite by like almost a touchdown both times, loses outright, has to rally the troops.

Speaker 25 They're underdogs, they couldn't look worse.

Speaker 56 This was the moment that you're like, Mike Tomlin will find a way to have the Steelers win this game.

Speaker 38 And it started going as planned, too, with the the punt block, up 13-0.

Speaker 13 And then it just, the Colts ripped off 30 straight points.

Speaker 3 The Steelers didn't even come close to scoring again.

Speaker 11 Mike Tomlin, this is actually the first time I've been like, it might be over.

Speaker 106 It might be over for Mike Tomlin in Pittsburgh.

Speaker 2 It was a bad, bad showing in the second half. TJ Watt looked really good considering he was coming off a concussion.
Or excuse me, coming off definitely not having a concussion. Yeah.

Speaker 2 Where he had to change his visor to be the dark tinted man.

Speaker 100 He looked good in the first half.

Speaker 2 He looked good in the first half, but then the Colts just ran the fuck out of it. They emasculated.
They ran the fuck out of it.

Speaker 2 And you see the stats that they put up with like a three-headed monster in the backfield. No Jonathan Taylor for the Colts.
Yep.

Speaker 2 And you think maybe Jim Ursay shouldn't have gone and paid all that money to Jonathan Taylor because he felt guilty about flying a whale across the country and spending more money on that than on the running back.

Speaker 92 Well, because the whale died, he didn't have to spend all that money.

Speaker 2 Yeah, but it was a bad. You think he had that money laying around because the whale died? Yeah.
Like domino effect.

Speaker 115 The whale died. Correct.

Speaker 2 Jonathan Taylor now.

Speaker 68 Someone, some pip squeak with like a pocket protector and glasses walked into Ursae's office one day.

Speaker 48 It was like, Mr.

Speaker 15 Ursay, the whale died. So by my calculations, we have $40 million that have just opened up.

Speaker 2 Your sick whale budget just became completely free right now. So you can distribute that as you see fit.
Yeah, I don't.

Speaker 2 Ursay was like, at the time, he was getting bad PR because of the Zach Taylor thing, or not the Jonathan Taylor thing. And he said to himself, you know what will fix this?

Speaker 2 I've got just the right idea. I'll keep good PR going by flying the whale.
And everybody would be like, thank thank you, Mr. Earth.

Speaker 41 And then instead, the reaction was, how can you fly a whale? Like Hank has been talking about.

Speaker 2 Yeah, it's impossible to fly a whale. But yeah, the moral of this story was the Colts can run the damn football.
Yes.

Speaker 2 When they run the damn ball, then everything else opens up.

Speaker 3 I don't even know if it's the Colts can run the damn football.

Speaker 75 It's just the Steelers defense is like, everything about the Steelers is bad.

Speaker 13 Yeah.

Speaker 56 And I'm actually happy.

Speaker 13 I think Steelers fans are happy that them lucking their way into the playoffs would have sucked.

Speaker 11 Because I want to see, there are seven teams.

Speaker 102 we just listed them, that I could see making a miracle run to the Super Bowl.

Speaker 79 The Steelers can't win a single game.

Speaker 2 Well, they're going to get Kinney back. If they get Kinney back, anything could happen.

Speaker 76 It's bad watching it.

Speaker 79 And

Speaker 78 I'm going to say something that's really sad, Hank.

Speaker 11 I need you to listen to this.

Speaker 12 I think it might be over for Mitch. Yeah.

Speaker 2 Yeah, that was a bad showing. It was a bad showing by Mitch.
It was also a bad showing by Pickens.

Speaker 2 It's really...

Speaker 56 Yo, Pickens not run blocking?

Speaker 2 Not run blocking at all. Not even pretending.
I feel like the Steelers lead the league in having position players with just real bad visuals this year in terms of giving up on plays.

Speaker 26 That's what I'm saying. Like, Tomlin,

Speaker 82 he would have bad, his team would have bad moments, but he would always be able to get them back on track and win a game that they're underdogs and everything looks terrible.

Speaker 47 I think it's like that Tomlin might be done. He might need to go somewhere else.

Speaker 2 You have to have a sliding scale of talent where you have Antonio Brown, L'Avion Bell, and they're just absolutely destroying the locker room behind the scenes. Yeah.

Speaker 2 But they're still really fucking good when they play.

Speaker 33 Right, you can handle that.

Speaker 2 With Pickens and Deontay this year, they've put

Speaker 2 they've given up on film multiple times throughout the season, and they're not good enough to be able to just quit.

Speaker 38 Didn't you say it too?

Speaker 19 That Big Ben said that, like, this is the end of the Steelers as we know it.

Speaker 2 Steelers' culture is done.

Speaker 36 It does feel like that.

Speaker 122 This was the game they were supposed to win.

Speaker 3 And when they're up 13-0, you're like, they're going to win this game.

Speaker 2 Yeah. I actually think next week is the game that they're supposed to win.
This will be, are the Steelers, as a culture, definitively dead yet? Because

Speaker 11 them beating the Bengals would make sense.

Speaker 68 The home game,

Speaker 2 traditional underdog, probably play Renegade a couple times. TJ will be ready to go.
Backup quarterback for the Bengal.

Speaker 2 I feel like that's where we can pinpoint and be like, this is the end of the Steelers era.

Speaker 42 Yes, yes.

Speaker 96 I also would like to say that I have officially decided I am only going to do one coach of the year vote, and it's going to be for Shane Steichen.

Speaker 101 Okay. I've decided that.

Speaker 35 I usually split my votes.

Speaker 123 The Colts, the faculty Colts are eight and six.

Speaker 56 Gardner Minshew, like playing good football.

Speaker 41 They're fun team to watch.

Speaker 124 It's crazy.

Speaker 20 The whole thing is crazy.

Speaker 3 Teams aren't supposed to have like be expected to be bad and then and then be this competent.

Speaker 123 It's not even like

Speaker 25 they're an incredible team.

Speaker 80 It's just their competence level is so high.

Speaker 44 Yeah, they're well coached all the time.

Speaker 2 Details are perfect.

Speaker 97 Right.

Speaker 104 He's a first-year coach.

Speaker 2 He's a first-year coach doing a great job. My coach of the year vote, I have, I'm going to split mine.
I think Shane Steichen is definitely deserving.

Speaker 2 I think I'm going to give one to D'Amico Ryans in Houston and then Sean McDermott. How funny would it be if Sean McDermott won Coach of the Year this year?

Speaker 115 That would be great.

Speaker 44 His speech would be awesome.

Speaker 2 I must see TV. Yeah, NFL Honors Night.
Have Aaron Rodgers introduce him. They'll have a lot to talk about.
I think that

Speaker 2 the Colts will make the playoffs.

Speaker 2 The segment they did with Gardner Minshew, we were talking about the van. Yeah.
Was it Tarico that was doing that game?

Speaker 42 Yeah. Yeah.
Yeah.

Speaker 2 Tarico was like pretending to be grossed out about how Gardner Minshew lives in a van at a local gym and he plays pickleball against old women. And basically,

Speaker 2 without saying in so many words, they were like, Gardner Minshew bangs all the cougars down in Florida.

Speaker 2 He bangs so many cougars that he just brings them to his van so that they can't sleep over and then goes gets the next one. It sounds like a great offseason for Gardner.

Speaker 14 Yes.

Speaker 127 PFT, I think.

Speaker 11 Now, this is going to be

Speaker 58 something

Speaker 94 I shouldn't write a check for us that I don't know if we can cash, but let's just say it, okay?

Speaker 19 If the Colts, they could win the AFC South.

Speaker 36 If the Jaguars lose this game right now, I think they'd be tied because they have split, I believe, their games this year, right?

Speaker 2 I believe so.

Speaker 73 If the Colts have a home playoff game and it's played on that Saturday, most likely, I think we have to go.

Speaker 88 That is a big track.

Speaker 2 I think we have to go, though. Was that January

Speaker 71 14th? I think we have to go.

Speaker 116 Also, it was Rich Eisen on the call and Kurt Warner.

Speaker 66 Oh, yeah, then we should go, so we don't have to hear that.

Speaker 116 No, that

Speaker 115 wasn't Tarico. It's Rich Eisen.
Oh, yeah.

Speaker 2 It was Rich Eisen just chuckling to himself, thinking about Gardner banging moms. Yeah.

Speaker 63 And I just couldn't help but think about how mad Kurt probably was that they were in a dome.

Speaker 112 Yeah.

Speaker 130 No, he

Speaker 130 just loved it.

Speaker 63 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 63 No, he loves it.

Speaker 44 Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 2 That's probably why Ursai closed the roof because he was like, Kurt's going to be just going to rip me a new asshole.

Speaker 14 I want to see that puffy vest.

Speaker 45 All right, we'll put that. We'll table it.

Speaker 59 Maybe we will go.

Speaker 2 I'm a firm maybe on that one.

Speaker 80 It's only a little drive.

Speaker 110 Yeah.

Speaker 2 Do I get free playoff tickets if I'm a season ticket holder?

Speaker 15 No, I don't think so. Fuck.
You have to pay for them.

Speaker 60 Yeah.

Speaker 38 Well, that was why I was... I wasn't going to...
The only reason I was going to say because we have season tickets.

Speaker 66 That was the only reason.

Speaker 2 Maybe we go down there and interview Mr. Ursay before the game.

Speaker 118 You You think he'd want to do an interview right before a playoff game?

Speaker 2 I think he'd be fine with it. Yeah.

Speaker 2 Do a touring.

Speaker 44 Yeah.

Speaker 2 Sit in his box, get in Mr. Ursay's box.

Speaker 82 He would probably let us.

Speaker 2 Yeah. I think he could.

Speaker 105 We could be in his box.

Speaker 2 I could see myself in Mr. Ursay's box.

Speaker 10 Yeah.

Speaker 26 A couple guys in his box.

Speaker 81 We're fun guys. Mm-hmm.

Speaker 127 Yeah.

Speaker 125 Okay.

Speaker 14 Last game for Saturday.

Speaker 34 Lions 42, Broncos 17.

Speaker 99 The Lions are back.

Speaker 24 They kicked the shit out of the Broncos.

Speaker 59 I feel like this was a fraud passing of the torch.

Speaker 75 Like, everyone's saying Lions, you know, fraud.

Speaker 33 Their defense is not great.

Speaker 82 The Broncos are the real fraud.

Speaker 102 That was an ass-kicking up and down.

Speaker 75 The Lions started the game with three punts.

Speaker 19 They then went on five straight touchdown drives for 80 yards, 61 yards, 81 yards, 75 yards, 75 yards.

Speaker 115 Yeah,

Speaker 2 Sam Laporta was awesome.

Speaker 132 Jameer Gibbs was everywhere.

Speaker 2 Yeah, Laporta's got to be one of the, what, top five tight ends in the league right now as a rookie. Really good.

Speaker 2 They did take a couple shots deep to Jameson at the start of the game, which I've been saying for weeks. Like, just do that.
He's so fucking fast.

Speaker 2 Just air it out, stretch the defense out a little bit.

Speaker 2 Yeah, the offensive game plan was awesome for the Lions.

Speaker 92 And also, their defense played well, which is what you need to see.

Speaker 100 And they actually, like, they played pretty well.

Speaker 13 Although I still think the Broncos just suck.

Speaker 2 Well, what happened with that fake offsides call that they had?

Speaker 112 Yeah.

Speaker 2 Like, fake, did they line up in the the neutral zone?

Speaker 11 So the helmet was in the neutral zone.

Speaker 19 Then they

Speaker 106 score a touchdown.

Speaker 78 I think they might have scored a touchdown on the play.

Speaker 93 Then they call it back.

Speaker 21 Then

Speaker 104 Sean Payton just starts ripping into Russell Wilson.

Speaker 2 He assumed that it was Russell's fault.

Speaker 25 He assumed it was Russell Wilson's fault.

Speaker 31 Meanwhile, as he's ripping into Russell Wilson, he's having them go out there for a field goal to make a three-score game a three-score game.

Speaker 104 Yeah.

Speaker 123 Take it from 28 to 7 to 28 to 10.

Speaker 22 Yeah.

Speaker 81 Like Sean Payton feels like, yeah, I get it.

Speaker 11 Russell Wilson, not the old Russell Wilson.

Speaker 13 I also feel like Sean Payton is just like throwing a shitload of blame onto Russell Wilson when he probably needs some blame too.

Speaker 75 For it felt like the team was not ready for this game.

Speaker 2 He accomplished the impossible in that moment, which is we felt bad for Russell Wilson.

Speaker 2 We took Russell Wilson's side and we sympathized with him. We're like, that sucks that your coach is doing that to you.
I didn't think that was possible for me to feel that way about him. But yeah,

Speaker 2 he was not the one who was wrong. The Broncos, they're kind of clinging to it right now.
I could still see them in the playoffs.

Speaker 13 Their schedule is so easy.

Speaker 102 So I actually, Jake, you need to set a reminder for us.

Speaker 118 They're playing the Patriots and the Chargers at home and then at the Raiders.

Speaker 43 If the Broncos make it the playoffs, I will bet everything I have against them.

Speaker 33 They're not good.

Speaker 45 They're lucky.

Speaker 116 They're not good. Also, the baby bump worked.
Russell Wilson scored.

Speaker 110 Yeah.

Speaker 2 He did. Yeah, true.
Yeah. That's his kid?

Speaker 91 His kid. He gave birth.

Speaker 115 Yes. Gotcha.

Speaker 91 Yeah.

Speaker 36 Why the buddy pregnant?

Speaker 2 Why the buddy pregnant?

Speaker 19 It was good, though, to see the Lions get their groove back.

Speaker 91 But yeah, I think the Broncos suck.

Speaker 47 I really do. I know that people are like, oh, that's bullshit.

Speaker 73 They've turned it around.

Speaker 13 They turned it around with smoking mirrors.

Speaker 75 I know they beat the Chiefs.

Speaker 34 That was nice.

Speaker 39 That Bills get like, if the Broncos can't get like three turnovers all in plus territory, they're just like, they're shit out of luck.

Speaker 2 Now, do we officially take the Lions off fraud watching this game? Because I think they just beat a fraud. If you beat a fraud, does that make you not a fraud?

Speaker 2 I don't know. It's like catch me if you can.
If you're a fraud and you get hired to find out who the fraud is, are you still a fraud? Are you still a fraud for life? They have an opportunity.

Speaker 2 The Lions have an opportunity week 17 when they go to Dallas.

Speaker 44 Yeah.

Speaker 2 If they can beat the Cowboys in Dallas, then that might be the fraud bowl.

Speaker 134 Oh, if they beat...

Speaker 80 No, the Fraud Bulls next week.

Speaker 16 Dolphins, Cowboys.

Speaker 59 Yeah.

Speaker 44 That is the fraud bull.

Speaker 46 That's literally

Speaker 105 whoever loses that game will be a fraud.

Speaker 2 The The Cowboys are playing back-to-back-to-back fraud bowls. Yeah.

Speaker 121 Well, no, the Bills were never a fraud team.

Speaker 104 They were just snakebitten.

Speaker 2 They were just not good. Yeah.

Speaker 25 But they were also, when they are good, they're not a fraud.

Speaker 2 Yeah, when they're good, they can beat any team in the NFL.

Speaker 38 Yeah, a fraud is like a front-running.

Speaker 100 Cowboys, I think, are the leaders in the fraud watch right now.

Speaker 105 So I would say the Lions aren't off fraud watch, but they definitely take a nice step back because their defense played really well.

Speaker 13 And their offense, when it's humming it cannot like if they get a home playoff game which they're very close to getting by the way if the Seahawks lose the Lions officially clinch the playoffs

Speaker 81 which would be great if the Lions get a home playoff game I'm very bullish on the Lions winning that home playoff game it's when the Lions have to go on the road and this isn't like anti-Lions because it's like who who would feel good about going on the road against San Francisco right now?

Speaker 44 Yeah, no one.

Speaker 135 No one. No one.

Speaker 106 That's like, that has nothing to do with the Lions not being good.

Speaker 36 They are very good.

Speaker 47 It's just, if they went on the road to San Francisco, I don't know if they can win that game.

Speaker 2 What's crazy about the NFC is there's a chance, like a pretty good chance, that two NFC South teams make the playoffs.

Speaker 44 Oh, I know.

Speaker 92 Because the... Yeah, no,

Speaker 3 the Saints are in the playoffs right now.

Speaker 2 And the Vikings have to play the Lions twice. Correct.
So that's going to be a tough schedule for them.

Speaker 38 No, the Packers have shit all over themselves.

Speaker 123 The Saints Rams game next week actually is like a huge playoff game.

Speaker 83 Yeah.

Speaker 55 Thursday night, too. Yeah, Thursday night.

Speaker 20 But yeah, no, there's the Saints.

Speaker 76 We could get the Saints and the Bucs.

Speaker 2 Jesus. Yeah, it's crazy.
I don't know what that does to my calculation about NFC South coaches getting fired. I still feel like it's every team that doesn't win the division.

Speaker 60 Yeah,

Speaker 68 if you make the playoffs, you can get in as

Speaker 2 you're like right around 500.

Speaker 2 I don't know if you get in as a wild card, you still might get the Saints might still fire.

Speaker 79 I think if he finds a way to get in the playoffs, because they'd have to win like two out of the last three, you could say they finished strong.

Speaker 2 They got hot, yeah.

Speaker 137 Either way, that was an awesome game for the Lions.

Speaker 19 That was what the Lions needed because they had gone, what, it felt like four weeks, a month,

Speaker 118 where,

Speaker 26 yeah, they went two and two in the last four, but they have not looked really good in those four games.

Speaker 3 And Dan Campbell said he's going to be more irritable.

Speaker 82 He's going to have to push them harder.

Speaker 3 And then we saw it. Like,

Speaker 8 that was what the Lions look like early on in the season when everything's clicking on offense and Jared's looks great and Jameer Gibbs, like they have so many weapons when everything's working that I love watching them play football.

Speaker 13 It's fun to watch the Lions play football.

Speaker 2 It is and they get C.J. Gardner Johnson back

Speaker 2 next week, maybe. He's practicing now.

Speaker 131 Yeah.

Speaker 2 That's going to be big. Yeah, you can definitely sell yourself that the Lions,

Speaker 2 maybe their defense is getting good.

Speaker 2 You only really have to believe that the defense is getting good because then you might accidentally play good.

Speaker 2 So if you shut down the Vikings twice and you hold your own against Dallas and you get a good, important player like that back, you can go into the playoffs being like, Yeah, our defense is fixed.

Speaker 13 Jeff Saturday told us on Friday, just get guys lined up right.

Speaker 75 Yeah, yeah, just if you're a Lions fan, you just got to walk around being like, Once we get guys lined up right, we'll be fine.

Speaker 106 Yeah, that's it, that's all it takes.

Speaker 31 Not a lack of skill, get guys lined up right.

Speaker 55 Uh, okay, let's go to Sunday.

Speaker 122 Um, we'll start with the

Speaker 48 Browns and Bears.

Speaker 58 Uh,

Speaker 89 Browns 20, Bears, 17.

Speaker 34 I'll start with the Browns because I'd like to give the Browns a shitload of credit.

Speaker 111 The Browns have had so many injuries.

Speaker 74 They had, at one point, I think during this game, they were on their third right tackle, third center, backup left tackle, backup guard.

Speaker 104 They've had so many injuries to every place on the football field, and they're so resilient, and their defense shows up in big moments.

Speaker 3 And Joe Flacco, that pass he made to Amari Cooper to tie the game,

Speaker 36 a tight window with three dudes right around him.

Speaker 86 And the Browns deserve all the credit in the world for being like this tough, hard-nosed team that has had so many chances to quit on the season and have always answered the bell.

Speaker 56 And if you're a Browns fan, like, I know this season's been weird, disorienting, everything.

Speaker 56 Right now, you have to be just proud of your football team.

Speaker 2 Yeah, Flacco can throw the dick out of the ball. That pass was so

Speaker 2 right in between the zone. Iber Flus gave kind of a loser answer to it after the game.
He said that that that ball should have been intercepted. He's like, if we

Speaker 2 make that play again, we probably pick him off. Well, he's a loser.
That was a designed interception, according to Matt Eberflues.

Speaker 2 Usually they break quicker on the ball than that, so he has no regrets about the play call.

Speaker 60 Maybe, okay,

Speaker 2 at least just say, like, we should have tackled the guy after he caught it. Yeah.
Like, you can say we had the right coverage. It was a better throw.

Speaker 2 At the very least, give credit to Flacco for making a great throw on that one.

Speaker 2 Flacco loves Cooper, and he loves David Njoku.

Speaker 119 Yeah, he does.

Speaker 13 And the Bears defense is not the problem in this game. So here's a fun stat.

Speaker 3 Since 2015, teams with three plus sacks, three plus interceptions, and a pick six were 40 and 0.

Speaker 97 Now they're 40 and 1.

Speaker 8 Thank you, Bears.

Speaker 13 Also, here's a fun stat.

Speaker 3 No head coach has ever lost multiple games in a single year, despite owning a 10-point lead and a plus-two turnover margin until today.

Speaker 47 Matt Eberflus, come on down.

Speaker 2 Setting records, baby. I would like to say, and get ahead of this before the end of the season, when the Justin Fields debate happens, because it's going to happen.

Speaker 2 It's already happening a little bit.

Speaker 2 We should adjust his stats at the end of the year because he had two interceptions today, both on Hail Mary's. And the first one shouldn't have been counted.

Speaker 2 The first one was not an interception, and Fields was like lobbying with the ref at halftime, like, hey, call that an incomplete pass. That wasn't a pick.

Speaker 2 He was trying to get it reviewed before they went into the locker room, which he should have because that wasn't an interception.

Speaker 2 And then the one at the end that was in Mooney's hands, Mooney was holding it like a baby. He was cradling.
He was swaddling the football, and then he kicked it up into the Browns' hands.

Speaker 82 Such an insane way to lose.

Speaker 2 Those should not count as interceptions, and he had a drop touchdown. Robert Tanyan.
Robert Tanyan just dropped a wide

Speaker 2 touchdown. So, in my personal book for Justin Fields, at the end of the season, I will be adjusting his stats to include one more touchdown and two fewer interceptions.

Speaker 97 No, and

Speaker 48 I don't want to do this again.

Speaker 2 I don't want to do this again. With the Justin Fields convo?

Speaker 81 No, I just saw like this was a gateway game.

Speaker 38 I talked about it on Friday.

Speaker 92 This is a gateway to my happiness.

Speaker 3 I was legitimately excited for this game.

Speaker 88 I legitimately thought the Bears could win this game.

Speaker 36 Their defense played really well.

Speaker 75 I agree with you. Justin Fields was not like the glaring problem.

Speaker 47 Offensive line couldn't block today.

Speaker 66 Receivers dropping balls.

Speaker 86 Execution in the fourth quarter.

Speaker 3 Like time and time again, you start a drive.

Speaker 75 It's run, run, and then be like, hey, Justin, get get us, you know, 12 yards here on third down when everyone's expecting it.

Speaker 76 That's not winning football.

Speaker 81 That's not how you can, like, conduct an offense.

Speaker 101 So I just, I'm tired of everything.

Speaker 3 I, I, I actually have decided, PFT, I think what's best for my health.

Speaker 66 I'm just going to say, whatever Ryan Poles does, I'm cool with.

Speaker 2 Trust in Poles. Yeah.
You're trusting the process.

Speaker 40 Well, guess what?

Speaker 38 Montez Sweat's a fucking beast.

Speaker 2 Yeah, he is awesome. Hey, two and a half sacks.

Speaker 47 And we have the number one pick.

Speaker 2 I think Montez Sweat is now leading two teams in sacks this year. Yeah.

Speaker 47 And we have the number one pick for a a reason, Ryan Poles.

Speaker 96 So I'm just going to, I don't want to do the,

Speaker 47 whatever happens, I'm just, I'm good with.

Speaker 129 I'll just do whatever, whatever Ryan Poles says we're doing, I'm just going to be like, you know what?

Speaker 2 That's what we're doing. I'll say this about Justin Fields.

Speaker 2 He's not bad enough to be generating the type of insult stats and insult graphics that are going around about him.

Speaker 2 He's a decent quarterback. He plays the game a little bit differently.
So his stats aren't always glaringly obvious. Like, oh, look how many yards this guy threw.

Speaker 44 Right.

Speaker 2 But he's decent, but I don't know if you can, if you think that Caleb Williams is as good as advertised, you can't pass up drafting him.

Speaker 110 You can't.

Speaker 2 I'm just telling you, you're going to regret that.

Speaker 66 Oh, that was, oh, geez.

Speaker 13 We just watched Keaton Mitchell hurt his knee very badly.

Speaker 44 I don't know.

Speaker 139 That was a very Ravens thing.

Speaker 133 Moment of silence.

Speaker 15 That was bad. You missed it.

Speaker 8 His knee just like

Speaker 131 popped real bad.

Speaker 112 Yeah,

Speaker 92 I get what you're saying, Caleb Williams, the whole thing, the financials.

Speaker 82 I just, and I get it. I have to debate it.

Speaker 36 I will debate it.

Speaker 66 I just, after a loss like today,

Speaker 82 losing a game where I got my hopes up that the Bears were going to make a run to a potential, like, yes, I know a lot of shit had to happen, but Falcons and Cardinals at home, I was like, Bears could maybe

Speaker 21 make week 18 at Lambeau like a super meaningful game.

Speaker 3 I was excited at that proposition.

Speaker 118 Losing the way they lost today, I just don't really want to opt out of like future quarterback discussions for like 24 hours.

Speaker 2 Yeah, but you also, you're going to have a nice look at the playoff machine. You need that nerd, Steve Kornacki, to give you a full-on breakdown about what happens if you finish eight and nine.

Speaker 47 No, I don't want to do it today. No, today was no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
I'm trying to, I'm trying to open up that gateway.

Speaker 44 No, no.

Speaker 76 I'm staying firm.

Speaker 36 When I have a gateway game, if we lose it, it's over.

Speaker 60 It's over.

Speaker 84 It's over.

Speaker 82 Could get back open. No, it's over.

Speaker 76 I'm being honest.

Speaker 106 I'm being realistic.

Speaker 39 I don't want to play this game.

Speaker 21 This was the game they had to win.

Speaker 75 If they won this game, I would have my hopes all the way up.

Speaker 119 They did not.

Speaker 123 It makes me realize getting your hopes up for your sports teams is the dumbest thing you could possibly do as a human being.

Speaker 104 There's no reason for it.

Speaker 106 Nothing ever good happens out of it.

Speaker 78 There's just nothing on the other side.

Speaker 2 But how nice would it be if it was you and Green Bay? Winner makes the playoffs, and you lose it.

Speaker 62 That's all I wanted.

Speaker 94 Well, the Packers stink, too.

Speaker 44 Yeah.

Speaker 90 Hold on, I'm looking right now at the

Speaker 89 Bears of the fifth pick right now.

Speaker 96 First and fifth. First and fifth.

Speaker 2 Yeah, I'm on tank-a-thon big time right now.

Speaker 38 Yeah, I just, I don't know.

Speaker 19 After a game like today, it's like, if you look at this, if you look at the box score, you're like, Justin Fields stinks.

Speaker 39 If you watch the game, you're like, there's a lot of other problems that need to be fixed.

Speaker 38 So maybe that's the answer. Just fix all the other problems.

Speaker 118 But whatever.

Speaker 101 That was a brutal way for them to lose that game because you knew as soon as the, like, you just knew how it was going.

Speaker 44 It's gone this way for two years now, where it's like the three and outs start coming in a flurry, and you're like, uh-oh, this is about to be a really tight game, even though the Bears kind of dominated for the first three quarters.

Speaker 41 Oh, they did, yeah.

Speaker 2 Flacco on the flaccometer, he was.

Speaker 39 Their defense dominated. Their offense didn't do shit.

Speaker 2 Flacco was a bum for the first three quarters. Yes.
And then it's like elite, elite.

Speaker 2 That's why it's so confusing because you have to almost like men and black yourself and

Speaker 2 take the device out and make you forget all the boneheaded mistakes that he made. Yeah.
Because he does it, he thinks he can make every throw.

Speaker 2 And sometimes, so the one play that the uh the Bears defender made where he it was like at the goal line right after they got the muff punt, Flacco throws that pick.

Speaker 2 That was one of the best interceptions I've ever seen. Yes, yes, that was incredible.
That was incredible. I don't even know if that was a bad throw by Flacco as much as it was just a great play.

Speaker 1 Yeah, there was there.

Speaker 79 I mean, the Bears defense was legitimately flying around today and playing like really good football.

Speaker 48 By the way, Keaton Mitchell did not look good walking off the field.

Speaker 126 That's just like a Ravens running back thing, huh?

Speaker 2 Yeah.

Speaker 44 Oh, he gave him the final tap.

Speaker 26 Yeah, no, you're talking about Stevenson's interception.

Speaker 73 It was incredible.

Speaker 118 Yeah.

Speaker 34 And yeah, no, the Bears defense makes me feel good, makes me feel warm inside.

Speaker 80 Everything else, I'm just going to trust Ryan Poles.

Speaker 79 And credit to the Browns for being like,

Speaker 25 I want the Browns to fucking go on a run now.

Speaker 41 Blacko is like so much fun to watch.

Speaker 31 The fact that he's out there doing this is insane.

Speaker 2 And the fact that he makes so many people mad.

Speaker 106 Yeah. And he made $75,000 today.

Speaker 2 Yeah, shout out.

Speaker 88 He's actually did our podcast joke in real life.

Speaker 2 He makes

Speaker 2 kits and board apes.

Speaker 68 He makes $75,000 an episode.

Speaker 2 Per win. Yeah.
And then in the playoffs, he gets like $100,000, $200,000, $500,000, $1,000,000, $2 million, something like that.

Speaker 2 Imagine if you got a check for $2 million for just.

Speaker 52 Just winning a football game, yeah.

Speaker 2 Yeah, that'd be sick.

Speaker 13 Yeah, this is what I'm saying.

Speaker 11 He should have made it like a billion dollars.

Speaker 112 Yeah. Because if you're...

Speaker 82 I don't understand why owners don't do that.

Speaker 97 I don't know. Maybe it's illegal.

Speaker 56 But if you're an owner, like if you had as much money, how much money does Jimmy Haslam have?

Speaker 2 Billions. Let me see.
Billions.

Speaker 2 You should give him discounts on pilot flying J gas for like

Speaker 138 $8.8 billion.

Speaker 90 If I had $8.8 billion and I owned an NFL franchise and I would definitely put in for my quarterback, I'd be like, if you win a Super Bowl, I'll give you $200 million.

Speaker 38 It's so worth it.

Speaker 2 $200 million,

Speaker 2 but but you have to bet it against me in one hand of blackjack. War.
And if I beat you, yeah, in war, if I beat you, you don't get any of it. And if you beat me, it doubles.

Speaker 115 I like that.

Speaker 2 We should be NFL owners. Yeah.
We'd be so much better than Tepper.

Speaker 93 He would want to come play for us.

Speaker 115 Yeah, for sure.

Speaker 13 Why wouldn't you?

Speaker 33 $200 million you should.

Speaker 2 You'd probably get investigated and.

Speaker 75 $200 million, maybe.

Speaker 66 That's what the contract says. Yes.

Speaker 75 $200 million bonus if you win the Super Bowl.

Speaker 3 Parentheses, maybe.

Speaker 10 If you have the balls. Yeah.

Speaker 5 Yeah. If you're man enough.

Speaker 25 Yeah.

Speaker 125 Okay.

Speaker 75 Moving on. Bears season over.

Speaker 88 I want everyone to just respect me.

Speaker 92 I'm not, I appreciate you trying to be like, hey, look at the playoff machine.

Speaker 41 Just respect my wishes.

Speaker 2 I'm addicted to them. It's over.

Speaker 92 This was the gateway game. I've never won a gateway game.

Speaker 86 My happiness doesn't deserve it.

Speaker 88 It is what it is.

Speaker 125 Okay.

Speaker 88 The one thing I did have that was happy today was the Bucs 34, Packers 20.

Speaker 23 So I got roasted.

Speaker 75 This is actually, I take a little blame for the Bears loss today because I got roasted.

Speaker 123 So we have seven games on.

Speaker 19 I was very into the Bears game today.

Speaker 97 Like, it was my gateway game.

Speaker 13 So I wasn't watching every second of the Packers game.

Speaker 3 I looked over, and it was at the end of the game when Jordan Love had a fumble. And I'd sit on a tweet being like, he sucks.

Speaker 56 And all the Packers friends were like, no, he was fucking great today.

Speaker 3 What I should have said was the Packers' defense sucks because they got absolutely torched by Baker Mayfield.

Speaker 13 So I take it back.

Speaker 106 Jordan Love played well today.

Speaker 88 The Packers' defense was a joke of a unit today.

Speaker 79 And the Packers went from no one wants to play him in the playoffs to are these guys going to actually get in the playoffs?

Speaker 2 Yeah, so

Speaker 2 they've lost back-to-back games to Tommy DeVito and Baker Mayfield. Yep.
Tommy dropped 24 on him. Baker dropped 34 on him.

Speaker 10 Baker looked great today.

Speaker 23 Four touchdown passes.

Speaker 92 It's 381 yards.

Speaker 2 If I'm the Bucs, I think I might just run it back with Baker next year.

Speaker 10 Why not?

Speaker 2 Why not? You're probably going to make the playoffs, probably going to win the division. Yeah, we talked about it on Friday.

Speaker 112 I agree with you.

Speaker 2 Yeah, bring Baker back. Baker, I still go back to the way Cleveland just kind of like flushed him down the toilet.
Yeah. He was the best quarterback that Cleveland's seen in a long time.

Speaker 2 Certainly like the best one that they've drafted in a long time.

Speaker 22 He also played. Yeah.

Speaker 8 Like they can't keep a guy healthy now.

Speaker 2 Because he wasn't perfect. And there were some throws where you're like, well, I wish that maybe he had taken some time to heal himself before coming back and trying to gut through it.
Guess what?

Speaker 2 That's not Baker's call. Of course, the player is going to want to play all the time.
Your coach has to be like, no, Baker, you can't play with a torn labrum. Right.
Shut it down for a little bit.

Speaker 2 The Browns really fucked up by getting rid of Baker Mayfield. And then he was on the Panthers, and everyone was like, Oh, Baker stinks.

Speaker 2 No, he just caught an acute case of panthritis and he had to get that out of his city.

Speaker 44 Matt Rule was his coach.

Speaker 2 Matt Rule. He had Matt Rule.
He had full-blown Panthers,

Speaker 2 which is not a position. It's almost unrecoverable.
Yes. And he got a bad deal in Cleveland, bad deal in Carolina.
Looked okay for the Rams and spot dude. Yeah.

Speaker 44 Came in.

Speaker 2 I still think Baker Mayfield is a good NFL quarterback. He's like in that above-average tier for

Speaker 139 he was 22 for 28, 381 yards, four touchdowns.

Speaker 3 This is his best game since the Browns.

Speaker 56 Like he was incredible today.

Speaker 119 And the Packers' defense stinks.

Speaker 101 They absolutely stinks.

Speaker 8 Back-to-back weeks.

Speaker 92 And Baker Mayfield's better than Tommy DeVito, who we'll get to.

Speaker 119 But think about it.

Speaker 19 Tommy DeVito drives to that field goal win on Monday night.

Speaker 92 And then Baker Mayfield, every time you looked up, the Bucs had a guy wide open running down the field.

Speaker 2 Do we need to talk about LaFleur as being a coordinator killer? You know how when you have a quarterback that's a coach killer, they get slap to that label? LaFleur might be a coordinator killer.

Speaker 2 So he's fired three coordinators in five years

Speaker 2 as the Green Bay Packers coach.

Speaker 2 It looks like Joe Barry's probably going to get fired.

Speaker 25 What coordinators did he fire?

Speaker 2 Let's see.

Speaker 2 Hackett didn't get fired.

Speaker 44 He got promoted.

Speaker 54 He got fired as a hay.

Speaker 44 He got big time promoted.

Speaker 2 Yeah, but no, he's fired three coordinators. This would be the fourth if Joe Berry gets fired.

Speaker 25 Wait, so who else, though, did he fire?

Speaker 96 I'm just wondering what side of the ball.

Speaker 2 I don't have the list in front of me right now. I'm just saying coordinators in general.
Like, LaFleur exists on a plane above his

Speaker 2 coordinators where he has a great sense of who his fall guy is going to be at all times.

Speaker 88 I know that Packers fans have hated Joe Berry for a couple years now.

Speaker 90 I'm trying to remember who their coordinator was before that.

Speaker 48 The thing is, Packers fans all have just wanted Jim Leonard to be their coordinator for the longest time.

Speaker 77 And hold on.

Speaker 20 Mike Petton was before Joe Berry, I believe.

Speaker 91 Yes. Yeah.

Speaker 104 So, yeah, the defensive coordinator for the Packers, I think, is always just the most hated guy in Green Bay.

Speaker 110 Yeah.

Speaker 2 Feels like. Yeah, because he is the cure to all your answers.
If you have an offensive-minded head coach and you have Aaron Rodgers as your quarterback, what are you going to do?

Speaker 2 You're not going to fire like Aaron Aaron Rodgers' best friend. Right.
So it's like, okay, well, we need to fire somebody else who has the title of coordinator. Yes.

Speaker 82 But yeah, the Packers are,

Speaker 68 that happened so fast that they were, they beat the Chiefs on Sunday night football.

Speaker 79 And, I mean, hand up, I probably shouldn't have crowned them as a team definitely going to the playoffs.

Speaker 93 Bad analysis by me.

Speaker 8 I apologize.

Speaker 101 That was sloppy. But

Speaker 75 two weeks later, and it's like, this team stinks.

Speaker 68 Their defense can't stop anyone.

Speaker 2 They need a kick in the ass.

Speaker 2 They need to put Matt LaFleur on sabbatical and have Rich Basaccia step in. Just coach him for one week.
Just ass kicker.

Speaker 2 I actually think that Rich Basacea could walk into Matt LaFleur's office and be like, hey, Matt, you're fired. Yeah.
And Matt LaFleur would be like, yes, sir.

Speaker 125 Yeah.

Speaker 17 Okay, no problem.

Speaker 24 They do play the Panthers next week.

Speaker 59 And I will have to root for the Packers next week.

Speaker 2 That'll be nice. Yeah.

Speaker 131 Yeah, that should cure a lot of the problems.

Speaker 2 I've decided, big cat cover years, I've decided that I want the Packers to keep winning and I want the Bears to keep winning. and then I want a week 18 game between the Packers and the Bears.

Speaker 2 Winner gets into the playoffs.

Speaker 10 How awesome would that be?

Speaker 66 It's already done.

Speaker 98 No, but that's...

Speaker 36 They had to both win today.

Speaker 120 It's over.

Speaker 31 That was my point.

Speaker 100 That was the gateway.

Speaker 3 I don't know if it's over.

Speaker 100 Today was the gateway.

Speaker 75 I told you to close your ears.

Speaker 2 You weren't supposed to hear that.

Speaker 52 That's true.

Speaker 38 No, but today was it.

Speaker 33 You can't.

Speaker 20 The Bears can't.

Speaker 36 They're fucking 5-8, dude. 5-9.

Speaker 142 What's their path?

Speaker 95 Everyone else losing a million games?

Speaker 44 Yeah, it's not possible.

Speaker 116 They didn't get the giant graphic.

Speaker 73 No, it's not possible.

Speaker 2 They're still in the hunt. Yeah.
Yeah.

Speaker 91 No, they can't.

Speaker 32 It's stupid. But they can.

Speaker 111 But they can't.

Speaker 2 Jay, can you come up with a formula that has the Packers and the Bears meeting in the last year? Today was the day and the winner gets in.

Speaker 46 If both teams won today, it would have been like collision course.

Speaker 2 That would have been the ultimate. It still could happen.

Speaker 8 It's not going to happen.

Speaker 15 You should have rooted harder today.

Speaker 54 for the Bears. I took my eye off the ball.

Speaker 74 Yeah, you took your eye off the ball.

Speaker 66 You wanted something that was

Speaker 2 I had a lot of emotional ties with Joe Flacco.

Speaker 39 I've been spending the whole week thinking about this.

Speaker 36 Today was the day it had to happen.

Speaker 97 Yeah. And it didn't happen.

Speaker 2 I got Jake on it.

Speaker 44 Packers' defense sucks.

Speaker 82 But Jordan Love did look good.

Speaker 92 I mean, I went back and watched some clips because I wanted to correct myself.

Speaker 13 That's how much I take my chance.

Speaker 91 You want to get it right.

Speaker 44 Yeah.

Speaker 11 He was making some really nice throws.

Speaker 2 We try not to be wrong.

Speaker 10 Yeah.

Speaker 41 I was in the moment wrong because I watched a fumble that was very funny to me.

Speaker 25 And it was also a fourth down fumble, so it didn't really matter

Speaker 96 to defend him a little, even though I don't want to.

Speaker 11 But yeah, Jordan Love was not the problem.

Speaker 47 Their defense gave up 381 yards to Baker Mayfield.

Speaker 79 And then I think even they were getting gashed in the run game, too.

Speaker 98 It was just bad all around.

Speaker 52 Let's see.

Speaker 127 What was it?

Speaker 94 Yeah, they gave up 100 yards rushing and 381 yards passing.

Speaker 88 Jake's doing it right now.

Speaker 140 Yeah.

Speaker 116 I'm looking at tweets. I see one formula that's like 15 things.

Speaker 66 Yeah, it's the dumbest. It's over, PFT.

Speaker 89 I had a chance to root for it, and it's dead.

Speaker 116 It's higher than 0.0%.

Speaker 36 What do you think I've been getting so nervous about and saying gateway game and talking about how big this game was?

Speaker 22 It was because of week 18.

Speaker 2 It was because you had playoff implications. It was because

Speaker 34 if they ran the table and the Packers ran the table, week 18 would have been for everything.

Speaker 2 I guess I'm just looking at the NFC South. I'm looking at the playoff records of like

Speaker 2 the Vikings at 7-7,

Speaker 2 a couple other teams that are at or beneath 500 that are technically still in it that could lose some more games.

Speaker 61 Max is doing it on the playoff calculator right now.

Speaker 2 Yeah, I'd love the playoff machine. The playoff machine on ESPN is like my very favorite thing in the entire world to use.

Speaker 22 PFT, do a couple ads and Max will work on it.

Speaker 80 Okay.

Speaker 33 He's got it.

Speaker 56 Okay, we'll get it after the ads.

Speaker 116 It's going to feel like Francesla reading just numbers and names.

Speaker 31 It also,

Speaker 22 This also does the opposite of what we're talking about.

Speaker 38 That's why the Packers and the Bears needed to win today.

Speaker 132 Because I'm reading this right now.

Speaker 25 It has like Panthers over Packers.

Speaker 123 It's basically getting the Packers eliminated before.

Speaker 116 No, I plugged it in the ESPN playoff. And then week 18, I had the Packers beating the Bears and the Bears beating the Packers.
And they flip-flopped the seven seeds.

Speaker 74 Okay, so then tell us.

Speaker 131 All right.

Speaker 116 Eagles over Seahawks.

Speaker 54 You got to listen. Yeah, I'm listening.

Speaker 2 I'm reading it right now, too.

Speaker 116 Eagles over Seahawks tonight. Week 16: Saints over Rams, Falcons over Colts, Titans over Seahawks, Lions over Vikings, Panthers over Packers, Jags over Bucks, Bears over Cardinals, Eagles over Giants.

Speaker 2 Okay, there's a couple red flags to that one.

Speaker 116 Yeah. Week 17: Bears over Falcons, Giants over Rams, Bucks over Saints, Packers over Vikings.
Week 18, Lions over Vikings, and then Bears-Packers becomes win and an in.

Speaker 2 There's like four games on there that I'm circling. Like, that will never happen.

Speaker 91 Yeah.

Speaker 19 Eagles over Giants.

Speaker 30 Or no.

Speaker 15 I guess that could happen.

Speaker 2 Yeah, I guess so.

Speaker 2 Eagles over, you think

Speaker 2 you think Max is going to be rooting for in that game, Tommy DeVito or the Eagles?

Speaker 105 He was pretty upset.

Speaker 66 Saints were desecrating our boy.

Speaker 2 Titans, Seahawks. Titans over Seahawks.

Speaker 2 Maybe if Drew Locke's playing, I could talk myself into that.

Speaker 2 Yeah, there's a couple iffy ones here. Yeah.
I don't think it's going to happen. I would say Giants over Rams is going to be tough, too.
Yeah.

Speaker 82 Panthers over Packers.

Speaker 128 Pretty tough.

Speaker 59 Yeah.

Speaker 82 Bears over Packers.

Speaker 101 Probably pretty tough.

Speaker 91 Either way.

Speaker 2 Maybe it's for the best.

Speaker 100 Yeah, I told you, the gateway's closed.

Speaker 2 It might be for the best, though.

Speaker 35 I feel like

Speaker 5 I had all these hopes and dreams, and like they came smashing down upon me.

Speaker 34 And then you showed up

Speaker 76 two minutes after, and you're like, hey, what if this happened?

Speaker 46 It could.

Speaker 100 And I was like, no, dude, that was what we were just hoping and dreaming about.

Speaker 81 It could.

Speaker 2 Now,

Speaker 2 what would actually be the worst thing? This is why I'm saying maybe for the best that it's not going to happen.

Speaker 106 It's not going to happen. It's over.

Speaker 46 It's for the best. It's over.

Speaker 129 I'm not going to do a memes thing.

Speaker 2 I could see a world where going into that potential week 18 matchup where the Bears win, they lose that draft pick, the high draft pick, and then whoever picks in that position takes like an all-pro Hall of Fame player.

Speaker 2 And you're like, oh, yeah, looking back on that meaningless game against the Packers that I wanted so desperately.

Speaker 47 No, but it would have gone to go to the playoffs.

Speaker 38 You never say going to the playoffs is meaningless.

Speaker 2 Yeah.

Speaker 121 That's a fact.

Speaker 43 Going to the playoffs is never meaningless.

Speaker 2 Maybe if you're a Saints fan, it might be.

Speaker 144 I don't know.

Speaker 54 Actually,

Speaker 116 because if you go to the playoffs, you're four wins away from winning the Super Bowl.

Speaker 2 That's true. And I feel like the Saints have reason to believe now.
Like, they've got reason to think

Speaker 2 maybe we can win a playoff game. This was a big, like, shot in the arm for that.

Speaker 66 I guess if the Steelers went to the playoffs, that would be meaningless.

Speaker 44 Yeah.

Speaker 142 There's a lot of teams that would be meaningless.

Speaker 68 But if the Bears would run the table, it would not be meaningless.

Speaker 7 Yeah, for a Bears program who never goes to the playoffs.

Speaker 141 Program.

Speaker 136 I like that.

Speaker 116 Especially with the number one pick.

Speaker 86 It'd be good for recruiting in the NIL.

Speaker 44 Yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 2 if the bears could go to the playoffs their portal oh you know that harbaugh hopping would take over and be like we got a strong program here yeah uh all right next game

Speaker 123 not a strong program chiefs 27 patriots 17 hank sit on up

Speaker 63 billy zappy actually didn't look that bad for a little bit yeah he was they were throwing it all over the field in the first half yeah he likes everyone he hops

Speaker 63 he does he dances back he likes to hop up the the offensive line was bad They were giving him no time, but he was getting out of a lot of situations.

Speaker 86 There was that one sack where the entire Chiefs team was

Speaker 17 on him. I think it might have actually ended up in an interception on him instantly.

Speaker 39 He had no time.

Speaker 63 The interception in their own territory was bad.

Speaker 2 How do you feel about the defense? Are you still high on the defense?

Speaker 63 Yeah, I mean, the defense is like one of the best defenses in the league since week 10.

Speaker 2 And the report was kind of walked back a little bit.

Speaker 2 The Belichick report I'm talking about, where they said they've already made the decision to move on from him. They walked that back a little bit and they're like, no decision has been made.

Speaker 52 Right, just a report.

Speaker 138 Did you see the new hotness?

Speaker 44 What's that? The new report?

Speaker 120 I should tell you, PFT, first.

Speaker 2 Yeah, I mean, like I told you last week on Thursday, that was a fake news report.

Speaker 117 This is very funny, Hank, because

Speaker 19 a lot of times, like, the world's out to get us is bullshit.

Speaker 3 This one made me chuckle because they spent all week saying Belichick was going to get fired.

Speaker 118 And then the report I saw today was that Jared Mayo is rubbing people the wrong way because he's supposed to be the successor.

Speaker 137 So they just basically were like, oh, that Belichick report was fake.

Speaker 109 This guy's actually the problem.

Speaker 2 I like that. What do we mean? I like that.
We got two camps going at it. I feel like that might have been Belichick getting his word out there.

Speaker 2 Like, if you're going to replace me, you better have a guy lined up. I don't think that this is the right guy.

Speaker 63 Yeah, that was like a make-good by Curran. Like, my bad.

Speaker 63 But the thing is, it probably will happen. Like, it probably will happen.
They're just mad that it is all happening publicly.

Speaker 2 Yeah, they thought that they would be able to handle it differently than every other team has ever done it because of the Patriots and they do things the Patriot way there.

Speaker 35 Report: Patriots coach Jared Mayo has been rubbing people the wrong way this season via Greg Bedard.

Speaker 55 Multiple team sources indicated Mayo has rubbed at least some people the wrong way.

Speaker 44 Hopefully, not Kraft.

Speaker 2 Is that a shot at Orchid Stacey? Yeah.

Speaker 118 Multiple people the wrong way in the building since his extension and when he perhaps received a strong indication he'd be the successor and the picture that was used was mayo and steve belichek oh so yeah yeah he's probably treating steve like he hasn't earned anything

Speaker 131 interesting interesting couldn't be farther from the truth what do you what are you thinking max uh this is beside the point but we just saw the the injury video oh i saw it in real life it was crazy dude kee Mitchell?

Speaker 134 It was Willis McGahey.

Speaker 44 Okay, I'm going to look at it. I'm going to watch it.
Yeah, I sent it to the group.

Speaker 2 I'm going to watch it live. I did not see it when it happened.

Speaker 2 Graphic knee isn't supposed to bend this way.

Speaker 74 No, it's Willis McGehee.

Speaker 2 Let's see. He's stepping.

Speaker 44 Oh!

Speaker 25 What the fuck?

Speaker 116 It's an obtuse angle.

Speaker 27 Oh.

Speaker 62 Uh...

Speaker 110 No?

Speaker 2 I think it's an acute angle.

Speaker 116 No, acute is less than 90 degrees.

Speaker 2 Yeah, yeah, exactly. So it becomes it bends.
So the joint is like that. It's smaller.

Speaker 27 No.

Speaker 111 That his

Speaker 38 knee was like this.

Speaker 27 Right.

Speaker 45 It's like that's above, that's more than 90.

Speaker 2 I guess it depends on which side of the knee we're referring to when we're judging the angle. If we're talking about the front or the back,

Speaker 2 the front is acute, the back is obtuse. Okay, so I am personally being obtuse right now.

Speaker 127 Wow.

Speaker 116 Get well soon.

Speaker 2 That's bad.

Speaker 91 Yeah.

Speaker 27 Ravens running backs.

Speaker 63 I also just enjoy, I hope they keep Kadarius Toney around for the playoff run because watching him blow a playoff game would be just

Speaker 98 it's at this point.

Speaker 56 It is 100% like if they keep him around, they have no one to blame but themselves.

Speaker 56 He is he is actually like I'm getting to the point where I think that someone's trying to take Mahomes down and they're like, we'll use Kadarius Toney to do it.

Speaker 2 Either that or Mahomes got so bored, dominated the NFL that he's playing on expert mode with Kadarius Toney, who will probably cost you at least seven points trying to catch a football.

Speaker 132 That was the funniest interception ever.

Speaker 56 He was playing like, keep it up.

Speaker 107 Yeah.

Speaker 74 Like, let me make sure he basically couldn't catch the ball and was like, wait, hold on, let me make sure I pop it up one last time so someone can catch the ball.

Speaker 2 It also doesn't help matters that he just looks insane. Yeah.
Whenever they show him, he's just like... got this big smile on his eyes are crazy.

Speaker 2 He is the one, he's a rare example, but I feel like in three or four games this year, if you put an average person on the field in Kadarius Toney's position,

Speaker 2 it might actually be better off for the Chiefs. Yeah.

Speaker 2 Because you would never get the ball thrown to you because you'd never be able to get open, but at least you wouldn't actively cost your team points. Hand the ball for the other team points.
Yeah.

Speaker 13 Mahomes, like, he actually showed a lot of frustration for the first time, which he should have.

Speaker 63 Well, since the end of the game last week.

Speaker 23 Well, that was to the rest.

Speaker 106 I'm saying for the first time in his own teammates.

Speaker 101 But yeah, if Kadarius Toney

Speaker 89 ends up playing on the playoff roster, he's going to fuck it up.

Speaker 47 And then they're going to be like, we don't know what happened.

Speaker 70 Yeah.

Speaker 70 We know it happened, dude.

Speaker 92 How could we see this?

Speaker 2 How could we see it coming?

Speaker 132 He's shown it a million times, but they, I think Kelsey dropped one today, too.

Speaker 52 He did, yeah.

Speaker 63 Boy ass play.

Speaker 2 Yeah, tired fingers. They also showed Taylor Swift up in the box, and she used the F-word

Speaker 130 loudly. Yep.

Speaker 2 And you have to wonder, like, is that the kind of girl that we want as the face of the the NFL?

Speaker 27 Nope.

Speaker 2 I don't think so.

Speaker 63 I saw a good caption online. It said Taylor Swift when she found out the lighthouse wasn't real.

Speaker 2 That's good. That's funny.

Speaker 44 It's good.

Speaker 2 You hate that lighthouse, Hank. You have no respect for the lighthouse.

Speaker 2 No, we built it because we had an old lighthouse and then we had a scoreboard and had to build a bigger scoreboard.

Speaker 2 And then you had to build a bigger lighthouse to look over the new, bigger scoreboard.

Speaker 63 And it's one of the biggest lighthouses in the country.

Speaker 133 It's not that good. Sound person.

Speaker 109 Ah, yeah, as a father of a Swifty, I think I'm going to have to ban it now.

Speaker 52 I mean, it's disgusting my son did actually say fuckhead the other day and i i had to i had him tell me it again because i wanted to laugh and then i was like don't ever say that and then he got very confused yeah no i i slipped up i was like don't say that and then he's like wait what it was a whole thing i'm not great at that

Speaker 42 stuff yeah frick

Speaker 54 but a four and a half year old saying fuckhead that's funny yeah it's hard not to laugh i laugh at the worst moments is that the worst uh

Speaker 20 clad Edwards Jolaire.

Speaker 94 Remember him? He exists.

Speaker 2 That was a great catch that he had today. And the Chiefs were back on their fuck shit that they do inside the red zone.
They're doing the thing, trying to keep loose.

Speaker 2 Let's put in some weird plays that you've never seen before. Something that Andy Reid, he likes to tinker with during the week.

Speaker 2 He did some tinkering this time where you had Mahomes lined up as a running back, right? Is that how it was set up? He had like a two-running backfield.

Speaker 2 Mahomes was offset to the side, and then they ran it inside. And it was an awesome play.
And it's like, okay, the Chiefs are having fun. I think they had such an emotionally,

Speaker 2 they were a little bit extra with their loss last week.

Speaker 56 Yeah, it was a get-right.

Speaker 2 And then Andy Reid's like, okay,

Speaker 2 we're going to do some fun stuff in the red zone, like the ring around the rosy bullshit that we do sometimes. Keep the boys loose out there.

Speaker 47 He's like Gordon Bombay.

Speaker 107 Yeah.

Speaker 34 Throwing the beach ball out on the ice, being like, remember to have fun, guys.

Speaker 68 Let's have fun.

Speaker 2 We're playing a kid's game.

Speaker 2 And, you know, as a fan of the Patriots and the historical franchise that they are, it's sad to see that we've fallen so hard that now we're the team that other teams practice their most fucked up, complicated plays against.

Speaker 2 You're the get-rights. We're the get-right team.
But that's, you know, such is life. That's how it goes.
You got to take the downs with the ups.

Speaker 86 I completely forgot about this, but it just reminded me.

Speaker 19 Remember when Jake said Clyde Edwards Hill Air?

Speaker 116 Yeah, that was, I was going to say something just then, but it's Elair.

Speaker 44 Oh, we know. Yeah.
Yeah. That was.

Speaker 54 We've never.

Speaker 38 We've never thought it was a hellair.

Speaker 116 That was one of my first ever mistakes on this show. And I think about it every day.

Speaker 2 Damn. Do you keep a list of your mistakes?

Speaker 140 I have them in my head.

Speaker 2 What's your biggest mistake on the show?

Speaker 116 My biggest mistake on the show?

Speaker 27 Oh, I rushed warp pick.

Speaker 71 I just had

Speaker 2 a credit. I had a joke that I did not say there.

Speaker 131 Okay. Tell me.

Speaker 44 I'll tell you what we're going to say.

Speaker 2 I'll tell you off air. I'll tell you offline.

Speaker 13 You could just text me already.

Speaker 59 Okay. All right.

Speaker 131 Yeah.

Speaker 116 I'm trying to think of other ones as I sit by my body armor, Sport Water.

Speaker 30 Yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 36 The other thing I had noted,

Speaker 137 Rashid Rice is good.

Speaker 82 Yes. That's good for them.

Speaker 66 What are you guys betting on back there?

Speaker 112 That was a perfectly coordinated.

Speaker 44 We're still sweating out this over.

Speaker 65 It's not hitting.

Speaker 7 There's still a shot.

Speaker 66 No, there isn't.

Speaker 2 You guys are Delulu.

Speaker 137 You're as Delulu as it gets.

Speaker 36 Jake, I don't think you've made any mistakes.

Speaker 43 that have ever been

Speaker 78 actually like of consequence minus the hilar thing that was so bad that's fun yeah that was terrible yeah

Speaker 2 trying to think what else they made no others look at the look at the fucking tweedlede and tweedledum screaming at each other in the booth you know what it is because jake's mistakes are like they pale in comparison even his worst ones pale in comparison to like our

Speaker 120 like smallest mistakes yeah well yeah i lose sleep over the small ones yeah and meanwhile max literally slept through his biggest one not pushing the button this is he had a fucking nice night of sleep oh i thought you were gonna say when he went out and blacked out oh that too for the Super Bowl.

Speaker 115 Yeah.

Speaker 140 Also.

Speaker 116 That was one of the more fun nights I've had on part of my take out that night with you guys.

Speaker 2 Yeah, it was a great time. It was so much fun.

Speaker 135 Watch it.

Speaker 2 I was surprised that night before the Super Bowl because I thought that Jake might just leave the podcast after hanging out with Max. No.

Speaker 135 And being like, this is the thing about Max.

Speaker 116 Well, he was making a fool of himself.

Speaker 59 Yeah.

Speaker 2 Is this what you guys are normally like?

Speaker 85 This was almost a year ago.

Speaker 110 So?

Speaker 65 So we got to stop talking about it. No.

Speaker 110 Vegas.

Speaker 100 We should have a year.

Speaker 20 The

Speaker 68 Tell the story about it.

Speaker 115 What story? Oh, yeah.

Speaker 23 For your stand-up.

Speaker 62 Full night. Retell the whole story.

Speaker 131 Oh, yeah.

Speaker 63 Tell the full story.

Speaker 44 Yeah.

Speaker 34 We might make an exception and

Speaker 36 PFT and I could maybe act it out.

Speaker 63 Reenactment. Yeah.

Speaker 135 Last thing, Hank.

Speaker 3 They finally did the insult graphic to Bill Belichick on the broadcast.

Speaker 63 Which one the wins one the wins one yeah with Brady without Brady yeah I feel like they've been that's always been an online thing and then when they put it on the the graphic it's like official that that had to hurt right it doesn't because it's like we it was 20 years of Brady yeah it was Brady yeah so big sample size it was Bill Belichick with Brady 266 and 75 without Brady 43 and 52 but it's like one of those things where it's just I view it as people that say that are just haters because it's like yeah this was the greatest run of all time in sports.

Speaker 10 It was great.

Speaker 63 And people are trying to knock him down by saying you're not as good as that right now. Right.

Speaker 66 Right. But I was just shocked to actually see it on.

Speaker 47 I feel like they've never done that on the graphic.

Speaker 63 Yeah, me neither. Yeah.

Speaker 2 One thing that you should prepare yourself for, Hank, is if Belichick does decide to resume his career elsewhere, not in New England, right now he's at 301 career wins.

Speaker 2 George Hallis, second place all-time with 318. Don Schula, first place all-time with 328 wins.
So he's 27 wins away from passing Don Schula to become the winningest head coach of all time.

Speaker 2 When that happens and he's not wearing a Patriots logo and he's not on the Patriots sideline, that's going to be a real mind fuck for you.

Speaker 63 Yeah, that'll hurt, but he's a student of the game. He's a football legend.
He coached elsewhere before.

Speaker 63 If he coaches somewhere after, so be it.

Speaker 145 Okay. Okay.

Speaker 63 You can't, PFT.

Speaker 138 You know how it is.

Speaker 63 You're not going to get people to get us to hate on our heroes.

Speaker 141 That's true.

Speaker 2 That's very true.

Speaker 115 Very true.

Speaker 13 Okay.

Speaker 3 Next up, Dolphins 30 Jets Zero. The New York Jets have been eliminated from the playoffs.

Speaker 103 Memes.

Speaker 2 It's a sad, sad day.

Speaker 44 At what point.

Speaker 63 Rogers is back, though. Yes.

Speaker 70 But I was going to say, at what point this week is he going to be like,

Speaker 44 I would have been back.

Speaker 135 Would have ran the table.

Speaker 42 But

Speaker 2 we're eliminated.

Speaker 2 I know I've been talking for the last two months about how I'm circling this Commanders game as the day that I come back from an unprecedented Achilles injury, and now there's really nothing that he can do that would benefit the New York Jets by coming back and playing.

Speaker 2 Yeah, I thought that game was going to be at FedEx Field. Uh-huh.

Speaker 61 And that would have been an all-time script, but it was.

Speaker 44 Oh, was he re-injured?

Speaker 2 Oh, my God. Yeah.
No, he would have died.

Speaker 2 That field would have killed him or fallen on him or something. But

Speaker 2 during practice this week, Aaron Rodgers probably did the one thing that he can't do in terms of Zach Wilson's fragile little confidence. He played defensive back on the scout team, and he intercepted

Speaker 42 Zach Wilson.

Speaker 61 Yeah, he made a one-handed interception.

Speaker 2 No, was it off Zach Wilson or was it a different quarterback?

Speaker 61 I'm not sure.

Speaker 2 I saw a Rich Amini tweet. Yeah, he was picking off

Speaker 2 their quarterbacks as a defensive player during the week. You can't do that, Aaron.
You got to drop those.

Speaker 30 Damn.

Speaker 2 Yeah, very, very tough times for Jets fans. Yeah.
This was an ass-kicking. Zach Wilson left the game twice.
Yes.

Speaker 2 The first time he left the game, there was some speculation about whether or not he had a concussion.

Speaker 2 He left the game and they told Jeff Darlington that it was because of a head issue that he's working with and not a concussion. Turns out he was just dehydrated.

Speaker 2 He left, which I guess your mouth, that's where you drink from.

Speaker 2 I guess that could be classified as a head injury. And then he did, I think, go into the concussion protocol later on in the game after a different hit.

Speaker 2 But I felt kind of bad for Zach Wilson during this game because they were just not blocking anybody. No.

Speaker 2 And it seemed like their script, like the design of the plays, was for him to just get the snap and then run diagonally backwards and throw the ball either at his closest receiver's feet or throw it out of bounds.

Speaker 2 That seemed to be

Speaker 2 what they were trying to accomplish on offense. Right.
It was tough to watch.

Speaker 41 Yeah, it was very tough to watch.

Speaker 31 The Dolphins.

Speaker 39 That was a good bounce back for them.

Speaker 8 They needed to kick the shit out of someone, right?

Speaker 44 Yep.

Speaker 60 And now they have, Jake, you are on, it's the fraud bull.

Speaker 82 The Dolphins and the Cowboys is the fraud bull.

Speaker 19 The loser of this game, no one will take seriously.

Speaker 116 Yeah, but it's still NFL for the Dolphins to lose this game. People will count them out and they'll beat the Ravens on the road.
Everyone will be back on them.

Speaker 97 I know, I won't be back on them.

Speaker 8 I truly think that whoever loses Cowboys, Dolphins, I'm out on.

Speaker 2 Officially, they showed another tough stat on the screen that said Raheem Mostert's touchdowns this year. He has seven more touchdowns this season than the entire New York Jets offense.

Speaker 34 He's leading the league in in touchdowns, which is crazy because if you asked anyone that question, they would have been like Christian McCaffrey.

Speaker 62 Yeah.

Speaker 89 He's got 17 rushing touchdowns.

Speaker 2 It's crazy. It's nuts.

Speaker 2 They did this without Tyreek, too. Yeah.
And Tyreek, I think he was healthy going into the game. He was like running routes on the field, looking good, explosive.
And they're like, you know what?

Speaker 2 We don't really need the best receiver in the NFL to win this game 30-0.

Speaker 44 Yes, yes.

Speaker 60 What were you going to say, Jake?

Speaker 116 Revenge of the Two of Fingers, Part Two.

Speaker 44 Oh, yeah. Destroyed.

Speaker 15 Two of Fingers is funny. I'll stand by that.

Speaker 131 Forever.

Speaker 27 All right.

Speaker 61 Sure, we'll hear about it next year.

Speaker 131 What?

Speaker 10 The Two of Fingers. Yeah.

Speaker 97 He's never letting that go. Never.

Speaker 112 Yeah.

Speaker 44 Thomas haven't lost it.

Speaker 19 I still think that's very funny fan behavior.

Speaker 13 I know it's a sensitive subject, but just the idea of someone doing that to you in like the 300-level of Met Life will always crack me out.

Speaker 116 Jenny Skyler Thompson.

Speaker 2 Yeah. It's like the idea of somebody thinking that that was like a good thing to do.
Yeah. It's just, it's so NFL.

Speaker 22 Right.

Speaker 92 And also the fact that they found the one guy they could do it to that was like legitimately offended.

Speaker 119 Yeah, he's taken back.

Speaker 36 Like, Jake was legitimately offended by it.

Speaker 2 Jake took serious umbrage to Tua.

Speaker 116 Keep in mind, at the time, it was a week after it happened, and we didn't know if Tua would ever play football again.

Speaker 116 People said, like, if he had one more hit, his career could be in trouble.

Speaker 3 Yeah, but remember, he said that McGruber was funny, so he was fine.

Speaker 2 He laughed the entire movie.

Speaker 35 Yeah, he laughed the entire movie. Tua is the man.

Speaker 116 This is a big game for the Tua is nothing without Tyreek Kirk.

Speaker 39 Tyreek Merchant, yeah.

Speaker 60 He had a good game.

Speaker 56 Yeah.

Speaker 2 I've been watching the hard knocks about the Dolphins, the in-season hard knocks. Yeah.
It's pretty good. Like,

Speaker 2 you can't dislike Mike McDaniel. He's a fun guy, and you want to root for him.
They also did a big profile in Alec Ingold, which was awesome. That is.
But it's just more football.

Speaker 2 You get bonus football during the week. Yeah.

Speaker 78 I stand by the fact that Stephen Ross doing the waddle has ruined the waddle for me.

Speaker 25 Yeah.

Speaker 41 They just are now showing him every time. But yeah,

Speaker 33 the Dolphins needed, like,

Speaker 20 kind of like the Chiefs, where it's like, just get right, just kick the shit out of a team that has no business business being on the field with you.

Speaker 92 Now you feel good.

Speaker 98 Now let's go play the home stretch.

Speaker 2 I do think that an owner doing the waddle, it's better than the owner like trying to rip off a gritty.

Speaker 30 True. Or a dab.
True.

Speaker 2 And the owners would dab. That was always a tough look.
True. At least with Stephen Ross, when he does the waddle, you're like,

Speaker 2 is that just how he walks? Right. He's old and frail.
Right. And you have that moment where you're like, oh, no, he's...

Speaker 92 He's doing a dance.

Speaker 5 Yeah, when Stephen Ross does the waddle, you don't know if he's doing the waddle or if someone had knocked into him like two hours ago.

Speaker 134 Yeah.

Speaker 13 He just still is just going back and forth.

Speaker 115 He's got a hip injury that he's dealing with.

Speaker 2 Yeah.

Speaker 88 He just keeps going back and forth. By the way, the Ravens are going to win.

Speaker 44 Lamar, that was an awesome run.

Speaker 2 He's fun.

Speaker 110 Yeah.

Speaker 136 Anything else on the oh, I want to say Dolphins.

Speaker 31 I know the Jets offense sucks, but the whole reason that I have believed in the Dolphins in the last couple weeks is because of Vic Fangio.

Speaker 120 Today, their defense was awesome.

Speaker 109 Shut out.

Speaker 80 Hard to shut out a team in the NFL.

Speaker 97 It is.

Speaker 66 It is.

Speaker 34 So you get credit for it for me, no matter what.

Speaker 38 So, yeah, that's why I believe in the Dolphins is Vic Fangio.

Speaker 73 That's the name.

Speaker 109 That's the guy who I believe in.

Speaker 111 Okay.

Speaker 123 Texans, Titans.

Speaker 2 Congratulations to the Houston Texans for winning the uniforms back in our own eyes.

Speaker 123 Texans 19, Titans 16. Yeah,

Speaker 3 this game sucked.

Speaker 31 But yeah, congrats to the Texans stay alive in the playoffs.

Speaker 8 This is actually a huge win for the Texans because without C.J.

Speaker 34 Stroud, without Nicole Collins, obviously Tank Dell, we put him out for the year a couple weeks ago.

Speaker 3 And Case Keenum had one of those pick sixes who's like, fuck, that's why he's Case Keenum.

Speaker 109 But yeah, this was a huge win for the Texans to stay alive, knowing that they could get healthy.

Speaker 25 And their defense was awesome.

Speaker 36 They completely, I think, how many yards did Derrick Henry have?

Speaker 2 Derrick Henry, I actually have that stat because he set a record today.

Speaker 36 Okay, because I was going to say, anecdotally, I didn't write it down.

Speaker 19 I felt like every time I looked at that game, Derrick Henry was getting zero yards.

Speaker 2 So Derrick Henry had 16 carries for nine yards. Okay, so I was his worst game that he's ever played in the NFL.

Speaker 2 He also became the first player in league history to get 20 or more touches and register less than 15 yards from scrimmage.

Speaker 66 So this is. 1.6 yards per carry.

Speaker 2 And they got eliminated from the playoffs today.

Speaker 1 And Will Levis got hurt.

Speaker 2 And Will Levis got hurt.

Speaker 2 And Derrick Henry spoke to the media after the game and was like, this sucks because I might not ever put on this uniform after the season because he's going to be a free agent at the end of the year.

Speaker 34 Oh, I think because the Texans won it in this game.

Speaker 2 Because the Texans won it, yeah. So he'll never wear the Houston Oilers jersey again.
But yeah, he was like upset after this game.

Speaker 2 Something that you don't really see that much from Derrick Henry of him being like, yeah, you know, I might not, realistically, I'm probably not going to be here next year.

Speaker 94 We talked about the cliff.

Speaker 58 And what was it? Was it 10,000 carries or something?

Speaker 23 Something like that.

Speaker 2 Yeah. Shout out to Case Keenum, though.
Case Keenum has never lost a game as a Houston Texans starter. Whoa.
He's 3-0 all time.

Speaker 8 That's huge. That's huge.
I would have thought he had started way more games.

Speaker 2 Mr. Perfect.
Yeah, it's because he feels like the platonic ideal of a Houston Texans backup quarterback. Yeah.

Speaker 2 When they went through that, like the TJ Yates era, Matt Schaub, Ryan Fitzpatrick, you name it. They all played.
There were just like nine different iterations of Case Keenum.

Speaker 2 Yeah, if you put them all together. Yeah, he had just started two games for him until today.

Speaker 99 Yeah, and

Speaker 56 Devin Singletary,

Speaker 19 he was cast off by the Bills, and he basically saved the Texans' season was saved today.

Speaker 66 Yeah.

Speaker 56 It was.

Speaker 34 Because I know that they still might not make the playoffs, so we don't know when C.J.

Speaker 139 Stroud's coming back.

Speaker 5 Hopefully next week.

Speaker 22 But

Speaker 92 they actually have a chance now to play out the string and still get in the playoffs, which no one thought was going to happen, especially with Case Keenum playing.

Speaker 29 They could do it.

Speaker 2 So they have the Browns next week, and then they've got the Titans again.

Speaker 66 the week after.

Speaker 98 I really wanted this game to be a tie.

Speaker 2 And then at the Colts.

Speaker 39 It was so close to being a tie.

Speaker 2 Yeah, we've been teased.

Speaker 82 It was like, what, 40 seconds?

Speaker 2 We've been teased, tie teased so much this year, and we need to get one. I just need that one dash one in the record column to just like combo break it.

Speaker 44 Yeah.

Speaker 2 Make it look interesting on the stat sheet. Oh, it was.

Speaker 56 I mean, the field goal happened with like no

Speaker 105 time left, but it was the

Speaker 76 run, the touchdown run with 50 seconds left when they called that back.

Speaker 42 Yeah.

Speaker 60 I was like, we got it. We got to

Speaker 2 get our tie. Yeah.
I think the Bengals are going to get us a tie. They've come so close so many times.

Speaker 13 Do we think the Texans are going to get in the playoffs?

Speaker 2 I think they might because, again, they get to play against the Titans again.

Speaker 44 Colts.

Speaker 2 Browns, Titans, Colts.

Speaker 34 There doesn't seem to be enough spots in the AFC playoffs for all the teams I want to see in the playoffs.

Speaker 39 I agree.

Speaker 101 This is going to be a problem.

Speaker 2 This is why we need bowl games in the NFL.

Speaker 2 At the end of the season, teams that don't get into the playoffs should be matched up in the most entertaining matchup possible, and they should play one more game.

Speaker 2 Maybe the winner of that game is the one that gets the better draft pick.

Speaker 111 Yeah.

Speaker 2 Out of whichever two teams those are playing against each other. That's the tiebreaker.

Speaker 22 What? Wait, do you have the thing up, Max, right now?

Speaker 68 What's the Texans' chance for the playoffs right now?

Speaker 7 This is like a calculator to see how you get into the playoffs.

Speaker 27 Oh, look up.

Speaker 52 Damn.

Speaker 12 There's a mathematician over there.

Speaker 7 Yeah, I mean, memes has become an expert on this.

Speaker 17 All for not. Yeah.

Speaker 7 Figuring out a way. Texans are at 55%.

Speaker 2 Yeah, so this is. 55% are to get the playoffs?

Speaker 126 Yeah, because I mean, the Jaguars losing today.

Speaker 88 What are the Jaguars at now?

Speaker 7 Probably isn't going to update.

Speaker 82 What about the Bills? What are the Bills?

Speaker 94 Fuck. God damn it, Max.

Speaker 141 This is hard.

Speaker 7 Bills are 69. Nice.

Speaker 2 Nice. Nice.

Speaker 2 I think they're 30%.

Speaker 2 That nerd Cornaki told me they were 30% to win the division. I think they're much higher than 30%.
I agree.

Speaker 7 I think it says 40 right here, according to New York Times.

Speaker 52 We don't trust them. Yeah.

Speaker 13 We should put out a statement about the jerseys because it really pisses people off.

Speaker 85 Yeah.

Speaker 34 It's crazy how mad people get.

Speaker 2 The jerseys belong to you. Also, it wasn't just the jerseys.
Vrabel wore the bum Phillips hat. Yeah, he did.
Which was stolen valor. Yeah.

Speaker 2 I would never say that to his face because he'd kick the shit out of me.

Speaker 88 It's just, it's very funny because we don't think they're ever going to give up the jerseys because why would you give up a jersey that's sweet?

Speaker 88 But man, do Titans fans get upset about it?

Speaker 15 They do.

Speaker 2 Listen.

Speaker 60 You did take their team.

Speaker 2 You took their team and you lost the Jersey game.

Speaker 13 I've got to go back and find it.

Speaker 119 When we had this first argument in, like, September, and one guy replied to me and was like,

Speaker 19 you don't know any of the history.

Speaker 126 They wanted to keep the team in Houston, but they wouldn't give them enough money to build a stadium.

Speaker 19 It's like, so literally how every team gets moved. Every team.

Speaker 2 Yeah. It's like, can you imagine if

Speaker 2 whatever Las Vegas baseball team they're going to have is the Oakland A's uniforms? Yeah. I don't like it.
Yeah. I don't like it at all.

Speaker 20 They're like, oh no, Oakland never supported the A's. It was, you know, the city's fault.

Speaker 68 Yeah.

Speaker 38 This is how it always goes.

Speaker 22 Yeah.

Speaker 2 The owner wanted more money and the city said, no, we're not going to spend tax money on you guys. We need food for kids in school.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 Owner finds other city that will take team, uses other city as leverage against the current city.

Speaker 102 Yeah.

Speaker 88 Current city says, fuck off because you have billions of dollars pay for your own goddamn stadium.

Speaker 92 Owner says, all I need to do is get my other rich owner friends to buy in on this, and I can go get a new stadium, new stadium, more revenue for everyone.

Speaker 57 Yeah, and then once fans, fans get fucked.

Speaker 2 And then once we move the team, then all my other rich owner friends, their franchises become worth more money. Correct.

Speaker 2 And then since their franchises are worth so much more money, then they can go to their local cities and say, hey, we need more money to stick around for a new stadium.

Speaker 122 We need more suites.

Speaker 2 And then the city or town that they're in says, no. And then the owner says, okay, fuck you.
I'm going to make myself and my owner friends money again. It's a big cycle.
Yeah.

Speaker 30 Sucks.

Speaker 80 So,

Speaker 66 yeah, we should put out a statement saying the jerseys go back.

Speaker 2 I will not acknowledge any further Titans games where they play wearing the Oilers uniform.

Speaker 134 Ooh, I like that.

Speaker 2 Not going to count their wins. Same.
Same. But if they lose, but I count their losses twice.

Speaker 45 Yes.

Speaker 105 So

Speaker 19 the Titans are eliminated.

Speaker 88 They're actually 5-10.

Speaker 112 Yep. Yeah.

Speaker 15 They lost with those on.

Speaker 125 Okay.

Speaker 123 Saints, Giants, Saints.

Speaker 31 We're wrapping up the early games.

Speaker 3 Saints, 24, Giants, 6.

Speaker 112 What they did to our boy, Tommy DeVito.

Speaker 76 It was an anti-Italian discrimination.

Speaker 39 It really was.

Speaker 52 It was.

Speaker 2 They did the finger celebration.

Speaker 123 They did the finger celebration.

Speaker 76 They basically knocked him out multiple times.

Speaker 89 It's sad, PFT.

Speaker 2 That's not your gesture. If you're not Italian, you can't use that gesture to an Italian person as a way of demeaning them.

Speaker 70 It's bullshit. It's bullshit.

Speaker 2 It's a hate crime, even.

Speaker 107 It's also like, Tommy DeVito's like, he's not.

Speaker 119 I understand if it was like Mahomes doing something, then you do it back to him because you beat the biggest, baddest dude on the block.

Speaker 123 Like, can't Tommy DeVito just do his thing?

Speaker 2 Well, this is another case of anytime you have a celebration that's down, you have to be ready for somebody to do it back to you.

Speaker 36 I understand how it works, and it wasn't surprising to me whatsoever, but like, deep down, I was like, come on, Tommy DeVito, like, he's undrafted.

Speaker 98 What are we doing?

Speaker 132 Why are you guys taking personal offense to Tommy DeVito?

Speaker 2 I did love his agent in the stands, Sean Stilato, wearing the Italian American Sports Hall of Fame jacket. You get a green jacket when you get inducted into it.
He also had the pants to match.

Speaker 2 Yeah, the pants were great.

Speaker 92 My just gotten the whole suit.

Speaker 104 We're also now getting Tommy DeVito insult stories coming out.

Speaker 56 Be aware.

Speaker 25 It's bullshit.

Speaker 101 Revell said

Speaker 89 Coniglio's Pizzeria and Bakery in Morristown, New Jersey says we'll no longer have Tommy DeVito at the restaurant this Tuesday.

Speaker 86 They said they were told his fee increased from $10,000 to $20,000 after the Packers win, and the family biz said they couldn't afford it.

Speaker 2 I I like that. I like that they called him back up.
He was like, Yeah, we told you it was going to be 10, price goes up.

Speaker 66 Sean Slato refuted this, said there was never a price.

Speaker 2 Never a price.

Speaker 39 There was never a price.

Speaker 2 Never an agreement in place.

Speaker 38 I just feel it.

Speaker 74 I know people are going to come after our boy, Tommy.

Speaker 111 We can't let it happen.

Speaker 60 We've got to fight for him.

Speaker 2 He did get, he got jacked up a couple times.

Speaker 44 Oh, yeah, he got killed.

Speaker 2 And they put him in the concussion protocol,

Speaker 2 which I guess he passed. I would love to see what Tommy DeVito's baseline concussion test is.
Yeah. I like the questions they ask him.

Speaker 2 How many fishes are there? Yeah. Seven.
Yeah. okay, he's good.
Kid's good. Yeah.

Speaker 120 Who was

Speaker 16 his name? Vito?

Speaker 36 Vito? Was Vito gay? Yeah.

Speaker 2 Yeah, he was. Yeah.

Speaker 115 He was.

Speaker 100 Well, he wasn't gay. He was just sucking off a guy in the parking lot.

Speaker 2 What was Vito's lover's name? Yeah. Johnny Cakes.
Johnny Cakes. Jameis Winson had an all-time great moment to see

Speaker 54 before the game.

Speaker 2 They usually have players doing the tunnel walk where they see what type of fashion they're wearing, what clothes they're wearing. With Jameis, he was just like walking on the field.

Speaker 2 That's how he goes to work. He walks across the football field and he was carrying this giant briefcase.
I have no idea what was inside that suitcase.

Speaker 2 I want desperately to find out what was in the suitcase. It was definitely some sort of motivational prop that he had.

Speaker 75 Wait, you don't know? It was nothing.

Speaker 2 No, that's that's.

Speaker 38 Oh, that was a fake story? Yeah,

Speaker 2 I tweeted out the video and I was like, I want to know what's inside this briefcase.

Speaker 91 Oh, and people just started saying it.

Speaker 2 I think it's probably like he's got fireworks in there. He's got a Bluetooth speaker.
Maybe even the suitcase itself is a Bluetooth speaker. And he's probably got a a sandwich in there.

Speaker 2 I was just trying to think, like, what would Jameis Winston be carrying in the suitcase?

Speaker 2 And then from the New York Daily News, Leonard from the New York Daily News, he said he opened the case and there was nothing.

Speaker 2 That's what's between us and greatness. Nothing.
And then he said that as a joke to me, and then the aggregators saw that. Saw it.

Speaker 2 And they're like, oh, this guy said that Jameis is carrying nothing in his briefcase to show that's what's. Now, that very well could be actually what happened.
I would not put that past Jameis.

Speaker 2 Got it. But I want to know what Jameis was carrying in that suitcase.
Yeah. I do too.
Maybe just like a giant, maybe it was a cake shaped as a W.

Speaker 44 Could have just been toilet paper.

Speaker 23 Yeah.

Speaker 66 He just brings his own toilet paper.

Speaker 2 This shit's so bad.

Speaker 134 Yeah, he looks so good.

Speaker 2 Maybe it was like a giant, very intricate remote control car that he just brought into the locker room.

Speaker 2 Take it for a spin with a button. A drone? Yeah, drone.

Speaker 92 Yeah, he's just droning around in the dome.

Speaker 2 I could see him doing that. Yeah.

Speaker 88 It could just be like a Game Boy.

Speaker 110 Yeah.

Speaker 2 He's definitely the type of backup quarterback that would still get his offensive lineman presence like he's the starter. Yeah.
And his, oh my God.

Speaker 39 It could be watches, yeah.

Speaker 2 Could you imagine how much better Jameis Winston's gift to the offensive line would be than Derek Carr's? Oh. Jameis Winston would buy you a fucking present.

Speaker 88 Derek Carr would get you like a

Speaker 83 Bible.

Speaker 52 Yeah.

Speaker 23 Sign it himself. Yeah.

Speaker 92 And be like, here, this means more than any. Like,

Speaker 120 I know you were really hoping you were going to get like a souped-up golf cart.

Speaker 92 Yeah.

Speaker 8 But this will give you years of pleasure.

Speaker 2 Eternal life, really.

Speaker 115 Yeah.

Speaker 2 Yeah. Don't let the Yeti cooler feel you fool you.
Your real present is the kingdom of heaven. Yeah.

Speaker 42 Yeah, no.

Speaker 52 No one wants that from Derek Carr.

Speaker 19 Saints actually look pretty decent.

Speaker 2 They were fun today. Yeah.
Saints look good. Yeah.

Speaker 82 And then even have Chris Olave out there.

Speaker 115 Yeah.

Speaker 2 So you got to be you got to be way happier this week than you were last week if you're a Saints fan. Yeah.
Where now you can be like, we might, if everything clicks correctly, we're a good team.

Speaker 22 And you know what?

Speaker 39 In a weird way, if you're a Saints fan, like, I know a home playoff game is fun and all that.

Speaker 45 like getting in it as a wild card, it feels like you earned it a little more.

Speaker 20 Yeah, whereas like winning the NFC South as the like everyone knows the worst division, it's like, oh, well, they had to give it to someone.

Speaker 3 If the Saints just earned it the old-fashioned way and beat the Rams this weekend on Thursday night football, is it Ram Saints?

Speaker 23 Yeah, Ram Saints Thursday night football.

Speaker 13 If they beat them on Thursday night football, it's like, oh, hey, look, they went in the hard way.

Speaker 101 They didn't just

Speaker 68 even though the Bucs would technically be above the Saints.

Speaker 59 Yeah.

Speaker 47 Something about it, I'd be like, yeah, the Saints deserve this.

Speaker 2 They earned it. Because if you're a wild card team and you get in somehow, then it's like nobody believes in you.

Speaker 107 You beat out everyone else. Yeah.

Speaker 19 You didn't just have to beat out your own division.

Speaker 54 Your own crappy division.

Speaker 2 You beat the entire league.

Speaker 75 Again, the Bucs would have beaten out the Saints, but that's neither here nor there.

Speaker 2 It doesn't make a difference. It's going to be in L.A.

Speaker 2 That's a huge game. Huge game.
But yeah, if you're the Saints, you can make the case like we've had our ups and downs.

Speaker 2 We've had to battle through more adversity than the Bucs did getting this division into them.

Speaker 22 We've had to battle Derek Carr being out for the year over 17 different times and having him just show up.

Speaker 111 The Saints players, that might be why they hate Derek Carr.

Speaker 107 They're like,

Speaker 13 they're on the precipice of getting the substitute teacher walking in the door.

Speaker 90 Yeah.

Speaker 82 And then their teacher hobbles in and is like, actually, I'm here.

Speaker 120 Take out your workbooks.

Speaker 104 Like, Jameis being the starter would be so much fun.

Speaker 2 Yeah.

Speaker 2 I think that with Derek Carr, it's like if he doesn't practice during the week and he's hurt, and then he he just shows up on game day, he hasn't been there for long enough to be able to do that and have people like rally around how tough he's being.

Speaker 2 Right. Because he's probably being pretty tough.
He's got like nine broken ribs, his shoulders fucked up, his neck's hurt, whatever.

Speaker 2 If you've been there for a while and the guys already like you and trust you and know that you're tough, then you can do that sort of thing.

Speaker 2 If you're new in town and you're just like, no, I'm just going to show up and play on game day. Probably some of the guys are like, what the fuck's going on? Right, right, exactly.

Speaker 2 Getting all the good drugs from

Speaker 2 the team doctor, probably. Yes, yes.

Speaker 3 I did sense Max kind of rooting for Tommy DeVito.

Speaker 13 He had some whimpers when he got knocked out.

Speaker 42 Max?

Speaker 7 No, I'm not rooting for him, but I don't like to see people get hurt.

Speaker 74 That's not alliance.

Speaker 2 That's not really true, though.

Speaker 2 You do like to see some people get hurt.

Speaker 7 I mean, yeah.

Speaker 7 I also didn't like the disrespect.

Speaker 7 I can root

Speaker 27 your rivals.

Speaker 7 I just don't like to see the disrespect.

Speaker 115 No, say what you're doing, that's all. What were we going to say?

Speaker 7 It's more so that I wasn't rooting for him, but I didn't like to see that against him.

Speaker 2 But you're going to be rooting against him as an Italian-American. Oh, yeah.

Speaker 79 I saw one, someone tweeted, it was a picture of Sean Slato, who will be on the show on Wednesday in his green outfit and everything.

Speaker 5 And the quote tweet was just like, I can't believe Italian Americans are even a thing.

Speaker 93 It was like, yeah, that actually is kind of funny. Like, yeah, they are crazy.

Speaker 2 Yeah, they're fun. Yeah.

Speaker 2 They got character at all times if you went back and you you had to put like rocky in the concussion protocol every time he got his bell rung yeah would never have lasted past the first round yeah tommy italians shouldn't have to enter a concussion protocol it's against their culture

Speaker 44 are you waiting for me to

Speaker 127 yeah yeah yeah sure yeah

Speaker 18 So we can knock him out, Max out, and he can't say anything about it.

Speaker 2 What would Rocky do this?

Speaker 89 Yeah.

Speaker 12 If Max ever complains about the concussions that we're going to give him, we're going to be like, you're not a real Italian.

Speaker 59 Not a real guy.

Speaker 7 I've thought about if I lose

Speaker 7 the thing for the opening, I would just do 15 minutes of Rocky monologues.

Speaker 27 Wait.

Speaker 94 Like, you would just memorize Rocky?

Speaker 7 Some of it.

Speaker 59 That would be awesome. It would be pretty.

Speaker 97 You might need that.

Speaker 2 But you'd have to be shirtless wearing like the Rocky. No, he wears the boxing outfit.
No, he does the beater.

Speaker 47 You'd be like that little annoying kid.

Speaker 44 Yeah, no, he's. I hate that kid.

Speaker 46 Oh, the kid that

Speaker 7 Rocky sucks, but it's the most iconic.

Speaker 65 It's crazy.

Speaker 8 What are you talking about?

Speaker 63 Like, that...

Speaker 59 You're talking about Rocky Balboa.

Speaker 38 No, I'm talking about the fucking kid that shows up and does it to Real Rocky.

Speaker 67 Oh, okay.

Speaker 70 He's done it to Hulk Hogan, too.

Speaker 38 I fucking hate that.

Speaker 83 That was awesome.

Speaker 54 What?

Speaker 2 That was cool. No, but Jake, you don't know about this kid.
This kid

Speaker 47 is like baby Gronk.

Speaker 87 Yeah, he does that everywhere.

Speaker 131 Oh.

Speaker 44 I thought it was just like a cool moment.

Speaker 30 No.

Speaker 47 And you know what? He's going to keep doing that.

Speaker 54 I thought it was just a diehard Rocky field.

Speaker 2 He's going to do that once he's like a preteen into his teenage. He's probably going to be 30 years old going up to Sylvester Stallone and like the retirement facility.
Yeah.

Speaker 46 He's done that multiple times.

Speaker 38 Remember me? I'm cute.

Speaker 2 I'm little. Yeah.

Speaker 44 Yeah. Okay.
Me a little small.

Speaker 100 Also, it's less about the kid.

Speaker 56 I don't hate the kid.

Speaker 68 It's the like somewhere there's a parent who's

Speaker 137 yeah.

Speaker 98 That's all they're doing is like, you got to fucking remember this so I can take a video and go viral.

Speaker 2 Yeah, they've got, they had the meet and greet with Sly circled on the calendar like a month ago. Okay, we got to prep.

Speaker 2 We got to study for the time where you're going to say all the lines back to Rocky.

Speaker 92 Yeah, like, mom and dad, I just want to go play with my friends.

Speaker 26 Like, no, you're going to fucking learn this because I need to get my numbers

Speaker 2 on Instagram. It's really a stage mom.
No different from Honey Boo-Boo.

Speaker 25 Yes.

Speaker 92 Or Jean-Bonet Ramsey.

Speaker 2 Yes.

Speaker 25 Yes.

Speaker 15 Panthers,

Speaker 19 we date ourselves when we say that.

Speaker 2 Which one? Honey Boo-Boo Boo?

Speaker 92 No, Jean-Bernay Ramsey.

Speaker 94 Oh, yeah.

Speaker 45 Captivated a nation.

Speaker 39 Yeah, that's what I'm saying.

Speaker 132 You guys don't even have any idea?

Speaker 2 All we could talk about.

Speaker 45 What ended up

Speaker 45 was the killer?

Speaker 2 They don't know. Seriously?

Speaker 2 They don't know. The dad is suspected by many people.

Speaker 26 They never found out.

Speaker 2 Never found out.

Speaker 14 Never found out. Jesus fucking Christ.

Speaker 104 I thought they figured I lost interest. I didn't think the cops lost interest.

Speaker 2 I think the cops were just like, we're on to the next thing. Damn.

Speaker 3 That's one thing that you hope the police don't lose interest in.

Speaker 2 Yeah, I think they could just know.

Speaker 44 Child being murdered. Prove it.

Speaker 37 Damn.

Speaker 29 Yeah, Jean Bonet.

Speaker 60 I think it was also the name.

Speaker 119 Jean Bonet.

Speaker 2 Child beauty pageants are the most fucked up thing ever. It's so crazy.

Speaker 125 All right.

Speaker 25 Last game of the earlies.

Speaker 68 Panthers, Falcons.

Speaker 76 Panthers 9, Falcons 7.

Speaker 26 Fuck the Atlanta Falcons.

Speaker 8 Pieces of shit. Desin Ritter, you're a piece of shit.

Speaker 41 I never want to watch you play football again.

Speaker 2 That was just a painful game. It was soaking wet.
There was nobody in the crowd at all.

Speaker 2 If you saw it when they came back from halftime, I'm going to guess that there were like 200 people in the stand.

Speaker 68 Yeah, shout out Panthos.

Speaker 124 He was there.

Speaker 130 Yeah.

Speaker 94 Panthos, what is his full Twitter handle?

Speaker 66 He had a picture at halftime.

Speaker 19 He's like, I'm just, you know, you got to take the bad times with the good.

Speaker 24 It's like, nah, dude, you don't actually have to go to this game.

Speaker 68 Panthos 704, which is probably his number for his

Speaker 130 Charlotte area code.

Speaker 131 Oh, okay.

Speaker 13 Panthos, yeah.

Speaker 19 He's a die-hard Panthers fan.

Speaker 2 My theory is that Tepper bought up all the seats, all the ones that were like 45 cents a piece. He bought them all up so that it wouldn't be like 45 cents listed as the get-in price.
Right.

Speaker 2 And then just didn't sell any of them.

Speaker 2 I'm willing to spend a million dollars just not getting completely embarrassed with the prices, not thinking through to the fact that there's still going to be pictures of people in the sales.

Speaker 2 It's empty.

Speaker 104 And the Panthers' uniforms look cool.

Speaker 25 It looks awesome.

Speaker 129 Helmets look cool.

Speaker 5 Bryce Young, game-winning drive.

Speaker 68 Shout out to Panthers.

Speaker 21 I know Panthers fans have been, I feel like you probably see it too, PFT.

Speaker 80 Maybe three times a week, I'll have one Panthers fan hit me up being like, please, like, we don't have anything.

Speaker 84 Yeah. Just take it easy.

Speaker 78 So here's your moment.

Speaker 19 You want a game.

Speaker 5 Bryce Young, game-winning drive.

Speaker 129 Helmets look cool.

Speaker 68 Desmond Ritter sucks.

Speaker 2 Good job. You beat a divisional opponent at home.

Speaker 10 That's cool.

Speaker 2 That's always fun. You protected your home turf.

Speaker 2 It was on three field goals, but don't let that

Speaker 2 matter. You had a game-winning drive.
Seven to nine.

Speaker 116 Announced attendance, 70,301.

Speaker 66 Shut up.

Speaker 2 What? Yep. 70,000 people were there?

Speaker 25 Hey, can you pass me another water?

Speaker 116 70301.

Speaker 2 You can just say anything. Like, owners can just be like, yeah, there's no way to prove it.
They're not selling.

Speaker 116 There's no way to prove it.

Speaker 91 How could they do that?

Speaker 44 They can't get away with that.

Speaker 116 There's probably a lot of people who had paid tickets and they just didn't go.

Speaker 14 That's not attendance.

Speaker 116 Well, paid attendance is what it always is. It's not people who go through the turnstiles.

Speaker 54 I like that they didn't go.

Speaker 2 Like, if this game was played in North Korea, they would have said 100% attendance. They did something that was like kind of, like, it's not believable, but at least they said 95% attendance.

Speaker 142 Yeah.

Speaker 102 Remember when the Falcons

Speaker 89 wanted to get Deshaun Watson, but not Lamar Jackson?

Speaker 90 Yep.

Speaker 16 That was crazy.

Speaker 2 It was nuts.

Speaker 36 And then they're like, hey,

Speaker 98 all this talent we have, let's just have Desmond Ritter be our quarterback again?

Speaker 2 Yeah, Ritter stinks. Bijan.

Speaker 3 That interception he threw was so bad.

Speaker 2 Yeah. Bijan might be back in the doghouse again.
He had a doghouse share of carries today. He got seven carries.
Algier got 14.

Speaker 2 Fuck, they brought out Corderelle Patterson. He scored.
He scored a touchdown today. Yeah.
He had five carries for negative two yards today.

Speaker 2 But yeah, Bijan,

Speaker 2 what is the purpose of the Atlanta Falcons having all these good players?

Speaker 30 I don't know.

Speaker 2 Just to keep them away from other teams having them? And you know what?

Speaker 74 I'm actually like, I know a couple weeks ago we're like, oh, the Falcons will be the fun team.

Speaker 66 Desmond Ritter changes all of that. They're not fun.
I don't want to see Desmond Ritter play any more football.

Speaker 2 It's actually like next level if the Falcons were just like a puppet franchise that were secretly run by a different team. Get all the most talented offensive players.
Yeah. Put them on this team.

Speaker 2 get Desmond Ritter as your quarterback so you never win anything. And then our opponents won't have those good players on us.

Speaker 76 I know Falcons fans are thinking we're probably picking on them.

Speaker 2 No, they would say the same thing. Yeah.

Speaker 82 Like they're more frustrated than we are.

Speaker 2 Yeah.

Speaker 74 Here's another thing.

Speaker 78 Just like I said, Lamar Jackson, Deshaun Watson.

Speaker 3 Arthur Blank said on Lamar Jackson in March this year, looking at it objectively, I'd say there's some concern over how long he can play his style of game.

Speaker 3 Hopefully a long time, but he's missed five, six games each of the last two years.

Speaker 26 Sean Watson doesn't want to play football.

Speaker 38 They tried to get Deshaun Watson. It's a Lamar Jackson.
Yeah.

Speaker 47 Who wanted to go play in Atlanta?

Speaker 59 It's crazy.

Speaker 38 It's crazy. Lamar Jackson on this team would be so fun.

Speaker 2 And the wild thing is that the Panthers or the Falcons aren't out of it. They are.
They should be out of it. This should be a disqualifying loss.

Speaker 88 They should actually, like,

Speaker 19 to gain favor, they should just disqualify themselves tomorrow.

Speaker 3 Do a press conference, be like, look, even if we win the next three games, we're not doing it.

Speaker 2 It's like when a team gets bull eligibility, like a good program, and they're like, we're not going to go to that bull game. Right.
Like, it's not really, it's not worth it. Right.

Speaker 2 If you have any pride in yourself, Falcons, you will say, we do not want this wild cards. Yeah.

Speaker 47 Make yourself eligible.

Speaker 2 Unless Taylor Hanek is a quarterback, then I'm in. And I'm back in.
Then I'm 100% it.

Speaker 25 Yeah.

Speaker 59 Okay.

Speaker 34 Let's do a couple more ads and then we'll finish off with the last three games, including Hank's Cowboys.

Speaker 62 Give it up for Chicago.

Speaker 103 next game. Rams 28.

Speaker 3 Commanders 20.

Speaker 11 And guess what?

Speaker 66 That means Shake Shaq.

Speaker 71 Yeah, boys. Get it, boys.

Speaker 3 We went three for three.

Speaker 3 We went three for three.

Speaker 14 So

Speaker 36 PFT had the Raiders on Thursday night.

Speaker 92 I had the Lions on Saturday night.

Speaker 114 Hank had the Rams on Sunday.

Speaker 38 Hanks was actually the only one that was actually a little bit in doubt.

Speaker 59 Doubt at the end.

Speaker 63 They all look like wins on the stat sheet. They do.

Speaker 9 The bottom line is we went three for three whether i'm hosting game day at my place or taking my talents to the tailgate boars head is my go-to for a spread that's as exciting as the game itself their platters are a hit every time they've got everything you need to keep your guests coming back for more and if you want to take it up a notch grab a few dips my personal favorite the blazing buffalo chicken hummus or even one of their charcuterie collections for game-changing flavor Boarshead helps me elevate my entertaining every time, whether it's for a tailgate or a home gating celebration.

Speaker 3 So, Rams28 Commanders 20 PFT.

Speaker 45 Your thoughts?

Speaker 2 I've got one particular part of this game I would like to just draw everybody's attention to because it was shocking, even for Ron Rivera.

Speaker 44 Yeah.

Speaker 2 It was one of the worst head coaching displays I've ever seen. I'm glad that this wasn't on a nationally televised game, like a standalone game.
Yep.

Speaker 2 Because it would have been everyone in America freaking out about what the fuck is Ron River doing in this situation. All right, so we're down 28-14, right?

Speaker 2 There's five minutes left in the game, fourth quarter. Jacoby Brissette's in at quarterback.
Sam Howell's still the guy, but Jacoby Brissette stepped in at the end of the game. Wait, what happened?

Speaker 2 Sam Howell wasn't having his best day, and we need a spark.

Speaker 36 Okay.

Speaker 2 So Jacoby Brissette was a spark today. Got it.

Speaker 2 Five minutes left in the game. Jacoby Brissette hits Terry McLaurin, who almost scores for a touchdown.
It was like a 40-yard pass, 50-yard pass, great throw, great catch.

Speaker 2 Terry McLaurin tackled at the one-yard line. So we're down by 14.

Speaker 2 Four minutes, 44-7 seconds left on the clock in the fourth quarter. We get the ball.

Speaker 2 Rams call a timeout.

Speaker 2 First and goal on the one-yard line. Rodriguez up the middle, one yard, no gain.

Speaker 2 How quickly do you think we ran the next play after that one, big cat?

Speaker 82 Well, I know the answer.

Speaker 2 Do you think we hustled to the line? No. Again, we're down by 14 points in the fourth quarter.
No, we take the clock down to one second left. The play clock down to one second left.

Speaker 34 You were screaming at the TV during this.

Speaker 2 Jacoby Brissette, quarterback sneak up the middle, no gain.

Speaker 2 Do you think we hustled to the line after that play?

Speaker 62 No, no.

Speaker 2 No, no, we didn't. Clock continues to tick down to three minutes, 18 seconds.

Speaker 2 Short pass across the middle to Logan Thomas, one yard touchdown nullified by penalty. Now it's third and goal on the 11.

Speaker 2 Jacoby Brissette passed short and middle to Curtis Samuel for four yards. Do you think we hustled after that one big guy? Do you think we hustled? No, we didn't.

Speaker 2 The clock went down to two minutes, 31 seconds, fourth and goal. Pass to Terry McLaurin, penalty, pass interference.
Then we get the ball again at the one-yard line.

Speaker 2 We go up the middle again for minus two yards.

Speaker 2 27 seconds left until the two-minute warning. Do you think we try to get another playoff before the two-minute warning? No.
No, we don't. We let the two-minute warning happen,

Speaker 2 and then we run another play, pass and complete, pass and complete after that. And then on fourth down, we finally score a touchdown.
Now there's one minute, 46 seconds left.

Speaker 2 Three minutes to get one yard in a game when we're down by

Speaker 2 two scores. It was scored to watch.
14 points.

Speaker 2 I had Stadthole look this up because I thought to myself this has got to be the most amount of clock that's been used to gain one yard in nfl history he looked it up his stats only go back to 1999 but since 1999 the previous record was your chicago bears

Speaker 2 in week 12 2013 took two minutes 46 seconds to score a touchdown from first and goal in the one yard line whoa this is The worst case of clock management I've ever seen. It was bad.

Speaker 2 And then, so Rivera's got three timeouts.

Speaker 2 He should have kicked. If you're trying to win the game, oh, wait, let me jump back after we score the touchdown.
Down by 14, he should go for two there, right?

Speaker 125 Yeah.

Speaker 2 He doesn't. And the field goal gets picked.

Speaker 34 He wanted us to get the fries.

Speaker 2 The extra point gets pulled.

Speaker 2 Thank you, Ron, for letting us get the shake.

Speaker 2 And then he kicks off. He does an onside kick, which is impossible to recover.
He still has three timeouts in his pocket. And then they just run the ball, run the ball, run the ball, expire the clock.

Speaker 2 If you're trying to win that football game, you would probably kick it deep, use your three timeouts, try to get the ball back somewhere around midfield.

Speaker 2 I don't know what Ron Rivera does, if he's ever watched football before.

Speaker 38 Well, I mean, I don't think he's trying to do anything. He doesn't.

Speaker 8 He's fired, but he already is fired.

Speaker 30 Yeah.

Speaker 36 Like, I think they probably were like, hey, dude, you're a nice guy.

Speaker 66 We're not going to fire you during the season.

Speaker 2 That's what's happening.

Speaker 8 So he just doesn't give a fuck.

Speaker 2 He wants to retire at the end of the season.

Speaker 68 But I kind of don't blame him.

Speaker 110 Yeah.

Speaker 44 Right. But.

Speaker 47 And they probably told him, like, don't win any games, dude.

Speaker 2 If you're trying to win this game. He's not.
He can't be trying to win this game. No.
He can't. It's impossible for somebody to mismanage the end of the game unless they're doing it intentionally.

Speaker 36 You were looking at the end of the game

Speaker 78 through the eyes of a rational person who's watched football and knows how you should operate in a football game.

Speaker 25 Yeah.

Speaker 26 Ron Rivera, I bet you he sat down when they were like, hey, we're firing Jack Dilrio.

Speaker 101 Do you want to go with him or do you want to just stick around and run out the string?

Speaker 66 He's like, I'll fucking stick around.

Speaker 41 And they were probably just, Josh Harris was like, all right, just do me one favor.

Speaker 119 Don't win any more games.

Speaker 54 He's like, no problem.

Speaker 2 He did a hell of a job not winning this game. And also, the long snapper, Cheeseman,

Speaker 2 you can't suck that bat and have your last name be Cheeseman. It's tough.
Everyone knows.

Speaker 2 He had a quote after the game where they're like, are you thinking that maybe your job's in jeopardy right now? Are you nervous about that?

Speaker 2 And he's like, yeah, I've been nervous all year because I haven't been very good. And

Speaker 2 I think to myself all the time, like, they're probably going to get somebody else here.

Speaker 2 Everyone that's watched the Commanders game this year since week one has been like, the long snapper is not good. He almost got the punter killed in Tress Way.

Speaker 2 So many bad snaps today.

Speaker 2 It was very frustrating to watch the end of this game.

Speaker 2 An eight-year-old that's played two games of Madden would be able to tell Ron Rivera what to do better than he did it at the end of this game. It was just...
It was bewildering.

Speaker 2 I have no idea what I watched.

Speaker 3 I feel like, though, it made perfect sense because he's not trying.

Speaker 39 He's not doing anything.

Speaker 2 He's not trying at all. And he's going to retire, and they're going to make it seem like it's a mutual parting of ways.
Right.

Speaker 2 And then Rivera is probably going to try to get a job with the Panthers as like

Speaker 2 a consigliary or like maybe even president of football operations. No, they'll just get...

Speaker 119 David Tepper will get Ron Rivera to go find who the next coach should be.

Speaker 2 Yeah, interview him. Shake his hand.
Look him in the eye. Yeah.

Speaker 14 Tell him he's a football. Tell us that he's a football guy.

Speaker 2 But yeah, Matt Stafford,

Speaker 2 I know I went on a little rant there about Rivera because it was shocking, but Matt Stafford still

Speaker 44 got it. He's still got it.

Speaker 2 And he did the one throw that he does every game, the red meat out there for Dan Orlofsky to talk about, a little sidearm out to the sidelines. I think it was to Higbee.

Speaker 2 The dude can still throw the fucking football.

Speaker 75 The Rams are definitely in the list of teams that I want to see in the playoffs.

Speaker 112 Yeah.

Speaker 92 Because they would be fun to watch.

Speaker 89 Like Matt Stafford, we had this discussion last week.

Speaker 92 He has the ability to beat anyone because he is playing at that level.

Speaker 110 Yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 2 He's still very, very good.

Speaker 3 And the Saints Rams is going to be a pseudo-elimination game.

Speaker 2 And the Rams, they got weapons. Kyron Williams is a great player.
Yeah.

Speaker 112 Although they were fumbling.

Speaker 2 He did fumble a little bit tonight, but he's still good.

Speaker 120 I just remember that because that over should have hit.

Speaker 48 And they just kept on fumbling.

Speaker 2 It definitely should have hit. And

Speaker 2 in the standings, Hank had a massive two-game swing today. Yeah.

Speaker 34 How close is he now, Jake?

Speaker 108 I went 0 for 2 for the first time, I think, all year.

Speaker 140 It's over. Hank went 2-0.

Speaker 116 Both of you went 0-2.

Speaker 116 Hank is now 3.5 behind PFT with six picks left.

Speaker 7 It's all right. What if we did an extra holiday pick? We did a holiday pick for Thanksgiving.

Speaker 42 No, no, Max.

Speaker 62 Stop that, Max.

Speaker 140 Thanksgiving. It is

Speaker 44 coming up.

Speaker 2 Hank probably threatened you. He was like, you're fired if you don't play that.

Speaker 69 That kind of makes sense.

Speaker 2 No, it doesn't. It makes no sense.
I said this earlier.

Speaker 44 We've never done that.

Speaker 56 We've never done this format before this year.

Speaker 27 Yeah.

Speaker 47 And we did do one for Thanksgiving. We always do one.

Speaker 2 Hank wants a charity case.

Speaker 10 Well, but we.

Speaker 130 This is different. It's the holidays.

Speaker 44 Yeah, it's the holidays. Holidays.

Speaker 2 The games were played on Sunday on Christmas. So it's Monday.

Speaker 55 Yeah, and Saturday.

Speaker 42 And Saturday.

Speaker 68 So next week we'll do Saturday holidays.

Speaker 30 Three picks.

Speaker 76 Saturday, and then you can do Sunday, Monday.

Speaker 2 This is shenanigans.

Speaker 2 Stop the steal. What? You're watching it happen right now.

Speaker 44 You're leaving your picks. All you have to do is happen in real life.

Speaker 2 We know what we saw.

Speaker 104 You got to win two.

Speaker 2 This is fraud like we've never seen in this country before, Hank.

Speaker 36 How many am I ahead of PFT?

Speaker 2 I'm going to get my stands to just

Speaker 2 storm Barcelona. Big hat, 19.5.

Speaker 116 PFT, 18. Hank, 14.5.
So, Big Cat, right now, you're up five with six to go.

Speaker 2 Anyone that cares about democracy in this country should call Hank out on his bullshit.

Speaker 63 I'm just, it's the holidays. It is the holidays.
You sound like the Grinch right now.

Speaker 127 It is the holidays.

Speaker 44 No, by not doing an extra PF Scrooge. No, no,

Speaker 2 I want more money in our listeners' pockets. I don't want them to be tailing or fading our picks.
I want them to have money to spend on their family. But not gambling on another game.

Speaker 43 Hank, hit him with the line.

Speaker 2 Family.

Speaker 131 Good.

Speaker 63 It's awesome. The lighthouse is.
Oh, it's holidays.

Speaker 70 Dude, what the fuck is the biggest line ever?

Speaker 42 Counterpoint. I don't know what else to do.
Counterpoint.

Speaker 63 It's the holiday. It is the holidays.
You just say that over and over.

Speaker 44 Where are you going with the lighthouse?

Speaker 27 That was weird, dude.

Speaker 44 I was like, what line?

Speaker 63 What lines do I have?

Speaker 63 What line you've just been using?

Speaker 38 It's the holidays.

Speaker 2 It's the holidays. So it's sacrilegious.
If you were a big believer in the holidays, you don't want to encourage people to go out there and sin and gamble.

Speaker 63 We do Thanksgiving because it was the holidays.

Speaker 2 Why would we not do it's

Speaker 2 no, it's not the holidays. The holidays are like now.
Thanksgiving isn't the holidays.

Speaker 44 Thanksgiving not a holiday. Oh, wow.

Speaker 82 There's

Speaker 99 three Monday games on Christmas.

Speaker 13 Maybe we just do the Christmas special pick?

Speaker 68 Four?

Speaker 62 Are you saying no, no, no, no.

Speaker 116 We should just make that worth three points.

Speaker 44 Good, good idea. Or 25.

Speaker 59 No.

Speaker 69 There's two games on Saturday.

Speaker 2 Ruining the integrity of the picks.

Speaker 63 Wait, go back. You said Thanksgiving's not a holiday.

Speaker 2 No, it's a holiday, but the holidays is like Hanukkah, Christmas, New Year's. Those are the holidays.

Speaker 63 Thanksgiving, Black Friday, Cyber Monday.

Speaker 135 That's holidays.

Speaker 2 That is a holiday weekend, but the holidays are the December holidays.

Speaker 127 Hmm.

Speaker 2 Booby Christmas. Those are the holidays.
Booby Christmas does rock.

Speaker 141 Booby Christmas. Shout out, Booby Christmas.

Speaker 44 Maybe we can sit on it. You just sound scared.

Speaker 83 No, don't say it.

Speaker 44 No, there's nothing to sit on.

Speaker 63 PFT's scared. Scared little boy.

Speaker 2 I'm not scared.

Speaker 2 Fuck you, little boy. This little boy put his foot up your ass.

Speaker 10 Whoa. Yeah, that's right.

Speaker 44 Is That's true.

Speaker 127 No.

Speaker 63 I beat him straight up, head to head today.

Speaker 27 Easy.

Speaker 77 And what?

Speaker 144 The Rams.

Speaker 140 2-0, 0-2.

Speaker 45 All right, we'll put out a poll.

Speaker 2 Hank does have a little boy ass.

Speaker 97 See what people want.

Speaker 25 Extra pick or no?

Speaker 2 Holidays or no. Just so you know, Hank is trying to manipulate you.

Speaker 2 This is election fraud.

Speaker 105 Wait, who suggested it?

Speaker 2 You told Max to say that. Wait, who did?

Speaker 44 Max.

Speaker 130 Oh. Yeah, no.

Speaker 2 Max, what place are you in?

Speaker 116 So in the warm-up.

Speaker 116 I went 2-0, and Max is 0-1-1, and memes is 0-excuse me. Max is 0-2.
Memes 0-1-1.

Speaker 44 Listen, I don't care.

Speaker 63 I'm already mentally committed to this hour. I'm just trying to give the listeners something extra for the holidays.

Speaker 2 No, I think I am actually the one that's in favor of the listeners because I think what they want to see more than

Speaker 2 is Hank Lockwood doing an hour

Speaker 39 standoff.

Speaker 63 Some people in the holidays, they don't, you know, they're either not with their family, like they're kind of alone. It's a lonely time of the year for some people, unfortunately.

Speaker 63 And having, you know, distractions helps. So giving them an extra games, they can be distracted on Saturday.
They can be distracted on Sunday. They can be distracted on Monday.

Speaker 2 There's still the games. The games are still going to be on the wall.

Speaker 63 But they want to tie back into the show.

Speaker 2 They can watch the games.

Speaker 63 With an extra bonus of wondering what happens to the story. No.

Speaker 2 No, I think in the true interest of

Speaker 63 the hang on, hang on. And this is something to tie us back to our family.

Speaker 140 Fuck up for me.

Speaker 2 In the interest of our listeners, I think they want to see you go on stage. And I don't want to take that away from that.
That's a whole lot of stuff.

Speaker 44 But they also want to see us.

Speaker 4 This goes back to the Mel Rushmore thing.

Speaker 63 You guys are the show. Wait.

Speaker 2 They want to see us. They want to see you guys.

Speaker 129 But they also want to see.

Speaker 63 They listen to this show for you guys.

Speaker 2 But if I'm being honest,

Speaker 2 I would much rather see Hank on stage. Hank.

Speaker 2 Hank's learning guitar. I've been teaching Hank guitar.

Speaker 38 They also want to see us do picks on the holidays.

Speaker 2 Yeah. No, they don't.

Speaker 81 I don't think that they want to see picks on holidays.

Speaker 7 It's crazy if you don't think people want to see you.

Speaker 2 They don't want to see picks on holidays. No, I want to see you.
Why wouldn't they want to see you?

Speaker 7 Take us to South

Speaker 46 They definitely want to see you.

Speaker 83 Yes, they want to see you.

Speaker 7 They would want to see you. I think that.

Speaker 4 Yeah, think about the business.

Speaker 2 I think that Hank would be a great choice. Listen, as a service to our listeners, I'll just, I can tell you,

Speaker 2 I would much rather see you win, Hank.

Speaker 68 I'm going to say right now, I...

Speaker 44 Oh, so you want me?

Speaker 38 I'm in this competition, too.

Speaker 123 That's nice.

Speaker 3 I'm not scared of Hank catching me, so I will not, I will be happy doing an extra pick.

Speaker 77 I'm man up.

Speaker 44 So we just take a poll with

Speaker 2 why don't we just do four picks or five? Well, let's just take a poll between us.

Speaker 2 There's six extra extra picks where do we draw the line when does this stop one extra all right here it'll be pretty cut and clear if there's a holiday we'll do an extra pick okay what about new year's eve new year's eve is a holiday hank you're gonna ask you gonna beg for another handout then football on new year's eve you're gonna beg for a handout well then we should probably do another pick it's actually pathetic

Speaker 2 it's pathetic hank it's beneath you we should just do a pick for monday night football all of us well

Speaker 2 if that's the case that's a good idea let's just change the rules let's just change all the rules for hank no i mean mean, you guys rigged the whole fucking

Speaker 29 Mount Rushmore, Alexis.

Speaker 2 This has nothing to do with Mount Rushmore.

Speaker 44 I'm just saying, like, you guys are acting like

Speaker 44 that.

Speaker 2 You have PTSD from spending 24 hours or 23 hours in a room with Max.

Speaker 63 Listen, like I said, it's the holidays. It's the holidays.
I'm fine. I know I'm going to do it.
I know I'm going to lose. PFT literally only has to win two games.

Speaker 63 There's basically no percent chance that he does lose. So I'm fine either.

Speaker 54 Or more like, why is he so scared?

Speaker 63 I'm just more like, again, like, you know, tough time of year, holidays. like, you know, we want, we want to feel connection to our listeners.

Speaker 2 Jake, is that a true stat? I have my magic numbers two.

Speaker 116 You're three and a half up with six to go. So it depends.

Speaker 2 So that doesn't sound like. I think Hank made up those numbers.
Hank.

Speaker 44 Yeah, it's not.

Speaker 63 It's one in five and two.

Speaker 140 It's three and four and 0 in six. We would lose.

Speaker 110 It can't be two.

Speaker 2 Yeah, it can't be two.

Speaker 2 What if we did like a little barter here and we can do an extra pick for the holidays if you agree that if you lose, you get an extra 10 minutes at home. Oh, fuck no.

Speaker 63 I don't care.

Speaker 130 What?

Speaker 62 I'm down. It's a holiday song.

Speaker 62 It's the holidays. It's the holidays.

Speaker 30 It's the holidays.

Speaker 2 Why would you do extra 10 minutes?

Speaker 100 It's a holiday.

Speaker 1 I don't have 10 minutes to start.

Speaker 101 It's the holidays, though.

Speaker 63 Give me two songs,

Speaker 63 and I'll deal.

Speaker 17 Okay. Performing them?

Speaker 110 Yeah.

Speaker 115 Yes.

Speaker 79 Performing? Yeah, guitar. I've been learning guitar.

Speaker 63 Okay.

Speaker 2 He's learned three chords.

Speaker 68 But they can't be more than like six-minute songs.

Speaker 110 All right.

Speaker 144 All right. All right.

Speaker 116 So Hank's three and a half out with seven picks left. Yep.

Speaker 2 Odds have just changed.

Speaker 106 And an hour and 10?

Speaker 2 Hour 10. With two songs.

Speaker 63 I don't know.

Speaker 2 You just agreed to it.

Speaker 63 We didn't shake on it.

Speaker 44 Hour 10 is a lot.

Speaker 63 An hour 10 is a lot. An hour is a lot.
Five minutes is a lot.

Speaker 2 But don't you want to provide more entertainment for our listeners?

Speaker 63 I'm doing an hour.

Speaker 2 You're pretty much saying, like, I think so lowly of our own listeners that I'm not willing to.

Speaker 63 It's actually a favor to the listeners for me to do less time.

Speaker 97 No.

Speaker 2 No, they want to see you.

Speaker 23 I want to see you suffer.

Speaker 63 You You guys do. The listeners don't.
The listeners want to see you guys perform because they actually like you guys.

Speaker 130 No, I know.

Speaker 70 Right, right, right. But

Speaker 123 it's see us perform because they like us.

Speaker 100 The only other option is see you suffer.

Speaker 63 They're going to do that. Right.

Speaker 62 Suffering will get old after like 20 minutes.

Speaker 44 No, I think that would provide them

Speaker 2 so much more joy. Yeah.

Speaker 104 Suffering gets old, but then it becomes funny again.

Speaker 63 Five minutes.

Speaker 37 Okay.

Speaker 63 Two picks, ten minutes.

Speaker 2 No. So it's up to you.
As much time as you want to add, it's just seven minutes, one extra pick for the holidays.

Speaker 52 You really should just have the pick for the holidays.

Speaker 2 For the holidays, Hank. Yeah.
Seven minutes.

Speaker 63 As a gift, you don't have to give me a gift this year.

Speaker 44 Okay, that's fair.

Speaker 2 I already gave you your gift.

Speaker 128 Was it Tiffany?

Speaker 2 Yeah.

Speaker 2 Gift raptor.

Speaker 63 Alright, so one extra pick.

Speaker 2 Seven minutes. Even Stephen.
Seven minutes.

Speaker 2 Handshake.

Speaker 2 Shake my hand. I just want to shake your hand.

Speaker 60 Shake it, Hank.

Speaker 42 Come on, Hank. We got to get going with the show.

Speaker 2 All right, that's a shake. That counts as a shake.
That counts as a shake.

Speaker 66 Seven minutes.

Speaker 2 Nobody take what Hank just did with his hand, and he was kind of biting his lip. Nobody make that into a gift.

Speaker 32 Now you have seven picks to win this. Discussing, Hank.

Speaker 7 So would you also have to do seven extra?

Speaker 2 No, it's just Hank.

Speaker 130 No, no, yeah, absolutely.

Speaker 63 We just added seven minutes to the show running.

Speaker 2 No, I've said if you lose, then you have to get an extra 10 minutes, which we bargained down to seven.

Speaker 115 That's crazy. Well, that's what you agreed to.

Speaker 44 What about shook on it?

Speaker 63 I don't really care because I'm going to lose.

Speaker 141 Okay, shook on it.

Speaker 94 What about the holidays?

Speaker 4 I was only thinking about the holidays.

Speaker 63 PFG is the one that's playing the most scared ball I've ever seen in my life. A little bit of scared ball.

Speaker 44 Well,

Speaker 137 after you talk about Ron Rivera playing scared ball, you are terrified.

Speaker 44 That is a little ironic. That's not scared.

Speaker 23 You are up three and a half games with six picks to go.

Speaker 2 Ron Rivera wasn't playing scared ball. He was playing just like insane ball.

Speaker 141 That's what you're doing.

Speaker 110 No, no.

Speaker 2 We have an agreement.

Speaker 131 I like our agreement.

Speaker 111 Okay.

Speaker 106 49ers, Cardinals.

Speaker 139 49ers, 45.

Speaker 5 Cardinals, 29.

Speaker 139 49ers of Clincy, NFC West.

Speaker 2 Congrats.

Speaker 39 Brock Purdy's the MVP.

Speaker 2 Brock Purdy said that Christian McCaffrey's the MVP. That's true.

Speaker 66 Christian McCaffrey said Trenton Williams was the MVP.

Speaker 2 I think Trenton Williams should be the MVP.

Speaker 63 I think George Kittle should be the MVP.

Speaker 2 You don't even like George, though. You rude against him in the playoffs.
Oh, here we go.

Speaker 59 Did I lie?

Speaker 88 Brock Birdie probably should be MVP.

Speaker 119 Yeah. Just by numbers.

Speaker 2 Yeah, his problem is that he's always going to have to deal with

Speaker 2 how good his offense is and how many great players he has.

Speaker 2 And then they'll look at Christian McCaffrey and be like, well, we've known that he's been good for longer than we've known that Brock's good for.

Speaker 2 So if the 49ers, if you split the 49ers vote, I feel like more people would lean towards Christian.

Speaker 88 It really just matters whoever's going to get the one one seed, too.

Speaker 60 Yeah.

Speaker 3 Like, if the 49ers win out, get the one seed, it would probably be Brock Birdie.

Speaker 86 Yeah.

Speaker 3 Maybe if the Ravens win out, get the one seed, maybe they become Lamar.

Speaker 2 Lamar had a pretty good game tonight.

Speaker 124 They can be like, oh, we could see this.

Speaker 88 We've already done it before.

Speaker 82 Yeah.

Speaker 120 The MVP debate, though, is always just like, I don't really care.

Speaker 34 They're going to give it to the quarterback on the best team, and they're going to decide it all within the last month of the season.

Speaker 2 It's like the Heisman.

Speaker 44 Yeah.

Speaker 44 Well, I guess. We cared.

Speaker 131 We cared a lot about that.

Speaker 79 Anything from this game?

Speaker 44 I don't really.

Speaker 66 49ers have a couple injuries, and the Cardinals are able to run the ball down their throat.

Speaker 2 It's an ass-kicking. Yeah.
But yeah,

Speaker 2 I guess you could say like the 49ers defense, you'd like to see them tighten it up a little bit.

Speaker 133 Yeah, Hargraves, I think, is out, and someone else was out as well.

Speaker 42 I can't remember.

Speaker 83 But yeah, they got

Speaker 107 whatever.

Speaker 106 49ers, like, I got cute with this game.

Speaker 139 I was like, ooh, Cardinals could maybe sneak him because 49ers have a look ahead with the Ravens.

Speaker 26 Dumb, dumb.

Speaker 79 49ers are a freight train right now, and you should not get in front of them under any circumstances.

Speaker 115 Yep, agree.

Speaker 92 Like, if you're trying to bet against the 49ers right now, sit down and ask yourself, like, why am I doing this?

Speaker 75 They are really, really fucking good at football.

Speaker 91 And every time they're healthy, they've killed everyone.

Speaker 26 It was Armstead and Hargrave were both out.

Speaker 2 I'm just looking forward to the holidays game next. Holidays? Holidays, the Niners and the Ravens.
That's going to be awesome.

Speaker 81 that's a great game for the holidays uh good news is we got one last game to get to actually we'll do ravens jags as well uh bills 31 cowboys 10.

Speaker 30 henry

Speaker 63 bloodbath i kind of saw this coming though uh and

Speaker 141 the cowboys need to get a couple home playoff games to have a shot yeah all the home playoff games but guess what today

Speaker 89 losing this today

Speaker 2 it's gonna be tough it's a blueprint game this is a blueprint on how to beat the Cowboys.

Speaker 97 Just have them on the road?

Speaker 2 Yeah, just run the ball down their throat.

Speaker 135 Oh, I was going to say, just play them not in Dallas.

Speaker 2 Run the ball down their throat.

Speaker 2 The Cardinals game this year, was that in Dallas? No. Was that in Arizona? No, no, no.

Speaker 2 But they ran the ball down their throat.

Speaker 2 That's the key to beating the Cowboys.

Speaker 3 But the Eagles can run the ball.

Speaker 36 They weren't able to do it.

Speaker 13 The Cowboys at home are 7-0.

Speaker 20 Their score average is 40-15.

Speaker 92 The Cowboys on the road, they are 3-4.

Speaker 3 Their score average is 21 to 22.

Speaker 36 They're just night and day, different team.

Speaker 10 Like,

Speaker 31 Josh Allen didn't have to do anything.

Speaker 36 He said after, he's like, I feel like the kid who got the A who just didn't help at all in the group project.

Speaker 134 Because he didn't have to, which is a great sign for the Bills that Josh Allen didn't have to be Superman, and they still win.

Speaker 2 Yeah, he's still, so he had a passing touchdown and a rushing touchdown today, but he was not the star of the show. The star of the show was Cook.

Speaker 2 That's the 10th game this season that Allen has both a passing and a rushing touchdown. And that's the most in a single season in NFL history.

Speaker 111 He could be MVP.

Speaker 2 He could be.

Speaker 106 Narrative-wise,

Speaker 2 if the Bills win that division, I think Josh Allen could probably, probably would be the MVP.

Speaker 44 Yeah.

Speaker 25 So I hope people listen to our 35-1 Bills rant we had a couple weeks ago because they're now down to, I think, 13.

Speaker 132 And they are officially, if you had to go just off of not record, like, who you wouldn't want to play right now?

Speaker 97 Bills. Bills are probably number one in the AFC.

Speaker 92 Getting hot up there.

Speaker 2 Ravens, maybe?

Speaker 31 Yeah. Ravens still, look, I mean, that was a good win for them tonight.

Speaker 2 Yeah, we'll see what happens next week. But yeah, right now, I would.

Speaker 115 The Bills are.

Speaker 2 I'd say it's the Bills.

Speaker 102 Bills are 13-1.

Speaker 89 I'm so happy. I mean, like, the Cowboys are just, they're just frauds.

Speaker 86 It just is the same thing every year.

Speaker 2 Rob Gronkowski called them mentally weak.

Speaker 58 Hank, thoughts?

Speaker 105 Rob played for the Patriots.

Speaker 128 I I don't know if you know this as a Cowboys fan. I didn't.

Speaker 63 I heard his interview the other day. That was great.

Speaker 63 Yeah, no,

Speaker 63 they're bad.

Speaker 2 I don't know if they're bad as much as they are just mentally weak.

Speaker 22 Well, I think they might be bad just because.

Speaker 137 But this might be the game when

Speaker 4 everyone forgets about them.

Speaker 63 Everyone just discredits them from the playoffs, and then they go make a run. There's the bulletin board material.

Speaker 63 Something I just thought of, like maybe like, you know, when you win championships, they'll usually have like a scene in the beginning

Speaker 63 to start it, kind of a down part of the season. And maybe for the Cowboys

Speaker 63 championship DVD, it's highlights from this game, and then the narration starts, and it shows the run.

Speaker 44 That would be cool.

Speaker 58 I mean, this was an old school ass kicking, just running it down the throat, manning up.

Speaker 20 Like, Dak had Dak looked like shit. He, he's had a great year, not taking away from his year, but this is the question with Dak.

Speaker 121 Go on the road, play a really good team.

Speaker 144 What do you look like?

Speaker 52 Trash.

Speaker 2 Yeah. He looked very bad today.
Yeah.

Speaker 2 Yeah, the Cowboys, they are, they got to circle the wagons right now. They do.

Speaker 44 And then the Dolphins on the road next Sunday.

Speaker 116 America's Game of the Week.

Speaker 118 America's Game of the Week.

Speaker 2 I would call that limping into the playoffs if they get their ass kicked by the Bills.

Speaker 2 And then by the Dolphins.

Speaker 15 It will be the Fraud Bowl.

Speaker 137 And then the Bills, if the

Speaker 16 Dolphins lose one of the next two and the Bills win out going up to week 18, week 18 will be for the AFC East title, which is crazy.

Speaker 2 That'd be awesome. Crazy.
I'll give you a spin zone, Hank. Would you like a spin zone? Yes, please.
All right, so the Cowboys were all sick this week.

Speaker 2 They had the stomach flu. There were 10 guys on the team.
I think Dan Quinn had the flu too this week. So there's that.

Speaker 2 That plays. They were just crapping themselves all week.

Speaker 80 That definitely plays.

Speaker 63 That's what happens with the Eagles tonight, right?

Speaker 115 Yeah.

Speaker 63 Maybe it it was the Eagles got the Jalen Hurts got the Cowboys sick.

Speaker 2 Yeah, he's the carrier.

Speaker 17 Good point. Great point.
Wait, are all the Eagles sick right now, Max?

Speaker 7 No. That's why Jalen Hurts took a separate plane.
He didn't want to get the team sick.

Speaker 89 Did he take a private plane? Yeah.

Speaker 2 Oh, shit. How much damage did that do to the environment?

Speaker 42 Damn.

Speaker 65 But you've never taken a private plane?

Speaker 92 I didn't know he had it like that, bro.

Speaker 36 I didn't know he had it like that.

Speaker 141 Yeah.

Speaker 7 He just signed a pretty big contract. How much?

Speaker 17 I'm sure the Eagles probably paid for it.

Speaker 7 Eagles own NFL franchise.

Speaker 131 Or I guess they are an NFL franchise.

Speaker 76 Talked for one sentence, too many.

Speaker 106 Last game, Ravens.

Speaker 60 That was a good win for the Ravens.

Speaker 44 Yeah.

Speaker 31 Like, the Jaguars are kind of falling off a cliff.

Speaker 2 I feel bad for Jaguars fans. I do too.
They were on Cloud 9 when they had that 6-2 record.

Speaker 5 And they were playing backup.

Speaker 2 It looks so good.

Speaker 42 Jake Browning. Yeah.

Speaker 2 They had everything. You had it right in front of you.
Would Pete Prisco have this as a win?

Speaker 91 He probably had his loss.

Speaker 44 Really?

Speaker 44 He was 13 and 4.

Speaker 124 That was very tough, though.

Speaker 92 The start of that game, having three trips, four trips on the other side of the field and getting zero points.

Speaker 19 The Jaguars are like a team where all the pieces are good and make sense, but then when you put them all together and you have to have them execute against like at a high level, it just doesn't work out.

Speaker 2 Yeah, I did like what Trevor did with his Christmas present for the guys for the offensive line. Yeah, the golf cards.

Speaker 2 He got them golf carts, like really tricked out golf carts, which is cool, considering he would not take a golf cart himself

Speaker 2 last week. But yeah, if you're a Jaguars fan,

Speaker 2 you're not optimistic about how this is going to end.

Speaker 18 Three losses in a row.

Speaker 44 Yeah.

Speaker 89 And they have to go to the Bucs who are playing good ball.

Speaker 2 The Florida Bowls. Shit.

Speaker 95 And the Ravens are one seed right now.

Speaker 21 And if they win, who do the Ravens have this week?

Speaker 2 The Niners.

Speaker 131 Oh, that's a tough one.

Speaker 2 Shit. Yeah, they got the Niners, and then the week after that.

Speaker 10 That's why they play the Dolphins.

Speaker 96 It's the Chiefs are going to fucking end up with the one seed.

Speaker 2 Chiefs are.

Speaker 88 They just always do it.

Speaker 134 They're going to luck into it.

Speaker 2 There's a good path for the Chiefs right now, for sure.

Speaker 20 The Chiefs are going to end up with the one seed.

Speaker 2 Yeah, who do they play next week? Garbage?

Speaker 43 They played no one but Garbage.

Speaker 2 They played the Raiders next week. Yeah.
They played the Bengals after that

Speaker 54 at home.

Speaker 111 Okay.

Speaker 2 And then they finished Easton Stick? At Easton Stick. Yeah.

Speaker 39 It's bullshit. Yeah, they might.
The Chiefs are going to have the one seed.

Speaker 2 The Chiefs are probably going to win the Super Bowl this year.

Speaker 60 Chiefs are going to get the one seed.

Speaker 105 The Dolphins are going to lose to the Cowboys.

Speaker 92 The Ravens are going to lose to the Niners and the Dolphins.

Speaker 31 Everyone's 11-5.

Speaker 2 I mean, I would love to see 12-5. I would love to see a rematch.
I would like to see

Speaker 2 the Chiefs against the 49ers.

Speaker 2 I'd like to see that game. Come on, Bills, 49ers.

Speaker 2 Yeah, either way.

Speaker 2 Good game.

Speaker 118 We're getting down to it.

Speaker 2 I'm for the games now. So much football.

Speaker 35 Okay, should we wrap up with Who's Back of the Week?

Speaker 147 Hey, this is Rhea from Chicks in the Office, and this season, we're heading home for the holidays with Abercrombie and Fitch. We all know our calendars are about to get chaotic.

Speaker 147 For non-stop plans, Abercrombie has the pieces to curate your perfect seasonal wardrobe: sweaters and denim for casual plans, party dresses for nights out, and comfy matching sets for everything in between.

Speaker 147 Keep the chaos cute this season in Abercrombie. Shop their new holiday outfits in the app online or in stores.

Speaker 94 Hank, your Who's Back of the Week.

Speaker 63 My Who's Back of the Week is the MLB.

Speaker 63 I'm sure you guys saw this. It is the busy time of the year.
Some would say it's the

Speaker 44 holidays.

Speaker 63 Holidays.

Speaker 63 We had NFL Players.

Speaker 44 Oh, we had one more pick.

Speaker 63 Monday night game?

Speaker 2 How many games are you going to ask for?

Speaker 2 I'm joking.

Speaker 44 I haven't asked for any.

Speaker 44 Max has suggested one.

Speaker 4 Did Kat suggest one?

Speaker 44 I'm joking. I'm joking.

Speaker 63 I mean, just win.

Speaker 2 Pretty fucking simple. I've been winning.

Speaker 63 Sounds like you're scared, though, that you're going to win.

Speaker 2 I'm in favor of rules. I'm in favor of a structured competition and integrity.

Speaker 63 Well, this is the inaugural league this year of this fourth year.

Speaker 27 And we are one for one on holidays.

Speaker 2 I'm just in favor of integrity. That's all.

Speaker 127 Yeah.

Speaker 63 Sounds like you're scared.

Speaker 63 But yeah, probably the busiest time of the year. Everyone's got holiday parties.
Everyone's celebrating the holidays. Football on Sunday.

Speaker 63 MLB, not even broadcasted, decided to host an all-MLB event award show where they flew all the players out, announced like first team, second team, all MLB, and no one knew that it was a thing until Saturday.

Speaker 63 Wait, what?

Speaker 2 I have no idea how the MLB decides to do it. This is the first I'm hearing of this.

Speaker 40 This happened? Yeah.

Speaker 135 Well, it's happening.

Speaker 63 It happened on Saturday, December 16th.

Speaker 2 Who won?

Speaker 138 Wait, what did they announce?

Speaker 97 They had an award show.

Speaker 63 Like

Speaker 63 the NFL and the NBA. Yeah.
The NHL does it.

Speaker 10 Yeah.

Speaker 87 Where was it?

Speaker 63 I don't know.

Speaker 47 Major League. You don't have any details?

Speaker 140 It was in Las Vegas.

Speaker 2 They just designed stuff to not have anybody pay attention to it.

Speaker 105 Who is there?

Speaker 115 All the stars.

Speaker 51 What the fuck?

Speaker 2 Name one star that was there.

Speaker 63 Well, that's the problem with MLB. I don't know who these guys are.

Speaker 118 This is very funny they did this.

Speaker 2 Was Mike Trout there?

Speaker 63 I do not see Mike Trout in these pictures. Oh, I guess it was on MLB Network, 8 p.m.
Eastern, December 16th.

Speaker 2 Yeah, they go out of their way to have nobody pay attention to their shit.

Speaker 63 But that's just classic MLB, so MLB is back.

Speaker 13 And Karabbas is still awake?

Speaker 141 Yeah.

Speaker 138 What else is he doing?

Speaker 12 Call him, see if you watch this shit.

Speaker 63 Probably lifting.

Speaker 48 He's probably lifting.

Speaker 2 He's probably like doing mock drafts.

Speaker 63 He's probably like watching TV in the shower.

Speaker 52 Jerking off to himself, lifting.

Speaker 58 He's got a curl in one hand.

Speaker 13 He might be asleep.

Speaker 39 It is the offseason.

Speaker 2 It's 12.19 a.m. He might be.

Speaker 98 Yeah, but he also doesn't have a life.

Speaker 10 It's true.

Speaker 111 So he could be awake.

Speaker 2 No, he's not. Is he ducking you?

Speaker 39 I think he's probably. I think 12.19 is.

Speaker 142 Oh, yeah. What about Dan Heron?

Speaker 10 Like, asking him.

Speaker 145 Your call has been forwarded to you.

Speaker 112 I don't don't think he would.

Speaker 66 He's not like a baseball super fan.

Speaker 119 Like, he's in baseball.

Speaker 15 Why would he watch?

Speaker 101 Jared would watch.

Speaker 35 If Jared watched, then we know who was the

Speaker 8 target audience.

Speaker 20 If Jared didn't watch, then...

Speaker 63 I don't see any tweets from Jared about this season. Oh, man.

Speaker 2 They organize their award ceremonies like we would organize a happy hour.

Speaker 63 Like, hey, like two months after the season ends. I was thinking about hanging out on a crazy busy Saturday when people are watching NFL and it is prime time.

Speaker 63 Like people have to do shit like Christmas parties and work parties and all that stuff. Yeah,

Speaker 2 if you're not doing anything this weekend, I was thinking getting a big group of guys together, hand out the Silver Sluggers. Yeah.

Speaker 25 That was, there was NFL, there was bowl games, and there was like five top ten college basketball games.

Speaker 63 NHL, NBA.

Speaker 3 Let's fucking hand out a couple gloves.

Speaker 140 Pug down, Pug down.

Speaker 127 Whoa.

Speaker 30 Is Pug hurt?

Speaker 145 He's okay.

Speaker 10 What happened? Did he fall?

Speaker 20 Did you fall out of the chair, Pug?

Speaker 131 Pug is like.

Speaker 69 You broke the chair. No, it was already broken.

Speaker 141 No, it was already broken.

Speaker 7 It was already broken.

Speaker 2 Pug is like the Mr. Bean of this podcast.
He's always like falling down, getting hurt.

Speaker 137 But like, quickly scurrying because he's like, oh, no, the camera's about to get me.

Speaker 88 Another incident for Pug.

Speaker 105 All right, PFT, what's your who's back?

Speaker 2 My who's back of the week is Uganda football. Yeah.
Uganda football, they lost to Kenya. There's going to be a video coming out, two videos coming out soon.
They lost 38-22.

Speaker 2 You might have seen Billy's all-22 clip of him throwing a dart in the red zone. I think it was like a seven-yard touchdown pass.
I think he ran for another touchdown against him.

Speaker 2 So Billy says that

Speaker 2 they had to overcome a lot of adversity on this trip, which I'm sure we'll hear more about. Oh, yeah.

Speaker 38 Donnie texted me. It sounded like...
a lot.

Speaker 2 Yeah, I was trying to talk Donnie through it yesterday, being like, if you need more money to make this

Speaker 2 I'm down, and he's like, I think we got to to figure it out apparently the head of the Uganda American Football Association just like took all the money that we gave them um and just didn't ever book a bus for like a 15-hour bus ride kind of respect didn't give the guy any like that's kind of a badass scam the guys didn't get any food uh so they had to travel overnight with no sleep no food they played against kenya apparently they fought their guts out um this was a tweet from donnie earlier today this trip was special leaving africa this time with zero regrets The players, coaches.

Speaker 2 This is zero wins. Zero wins, but they did score points, so Billy's not fired.
The players, coaches, and everyday people we met were so inspiring.

Speaker 2 That fat, corrupt scumbag, Steven Oaking, who runs the Uganda Football Association, tried to ruin it for everybody, but he did not succeed. Uganda has a legit football team of warriors.

Speaker 2 I'm wicked proud of. So if you thought that Donnie and Billy would escape Africa without starting an international conflict, I think that you were probably wrong.
I think this is the start.

Speaker 2 We We hope that they get home safe. They are in Kenya right now, not in Uganda.
So I hope that they can get home safe and not run into any problems over there.

Speaker 2 But it seems like they're turning this into a flame war with the guy that stole the money.

Speaker 25 We also had an all-time Billy football clip from the news.

Speaker 82 Donnie said that they got split up for a day because Donnie was going earlier.

Speaker 56 It was like, don't do any media.

Speaker 88 And then literally the like 12 hours that Donnie and Billy weren't together, Billy went on like, like Uganda TV.

Speaker 15 Yep.

Speaker 34 Yep, and this is so.

Speaker 123 First of all, they put his name as William Carter, which I liked.

Speaker 75 But here's the clip from Billy, all-time Billy clip.

Speaker 53 In the fast lake, Kenya triumphed against Uganda, and now the Geners will be sickened.

Speaker 148 Been with these guys, working with them since early November.

Speaker 148 They're very ready. And the thing was, last game they were ready, very ready, and they played better than the Kenyans.

Speaker 27 The Kenyans got away with some.

Speaker 148 They got away with with some

Speaker 148 not cheating, but some mischief.

Speaker 27 But this time we'll have more refs in Nairobi. And I'm very confident in this team.

Speaker 148 They've studied hard. They've trained hard.
We will be ready for the Kenyon White Rhinos.

Speaker 2 Hey, Billy, just while I'm gone, before you meet up with us, can you try not to go on TV and give any sort of bulletin board material to Kenya?

Speaker 2 To be fair, he said that he didn't want to accuse him of cheating. Yeah.
It was mischief.

Speaker 45 Mischief.

Speaker 38 He also, like, that was a super trooper's, like, Billy, how many times do you say the word ready?

Speaker 19 Yeah.

Speaker 105 He's like, we're ready. We're really ready.

Speaker 106 And this time, we're going to be really ready.

Speaker 62 Last time we weren't ready.

Speaker 63 When he was on the news in L.A. and he was victim blaming people for wearing nice watches.
Yeah.

Speaker 2 Billy is a one-of-a-kind mind.

Speaker 115 William Carter.

Speaker 2 Nobody liked William Carter.

Speaker 2 I do like the cut of William Carter's gym. Yeah.
It might just be like his alter ego. But if anybody out there knows mischief, it's Billy.

Speaker 2 Billy is the king of mischief.

Speaker 19 Just a nice

Speaker 101 four-second pause on TV.

Speaker 2 Think of a different word for cheating. Think of a different word for cheating.
Mischief.

Speaker 2 I'm trying not to say cheating. So I'll say mischief.

Speaker 44 He's like, think like Tom and Jerry.

Speaker 20 What are they up to all the time? Mischief.

Speaker 2 Hijinks. Yeah.

Speaker 109 Yeah, that's what's happening.

Speaker 56 All right, my who's back of the week is Matt Patricia.

Speaker 110 Yeah.

Speaker 68 And Max said that he was going to talk about the game now.

Speaker 2 Yeah, so Matt Patricia is

Speaker 44 Max's dad.

Speaker 129 Yeah, kind of looks like Max.

Speaker 2 Taking over as the defensive coordinator, right?

Speaker 22 That's correct. That's weird.
Wait, no, wait. PFD, let me ask you a question.

Speaker 33 Yeah.

Speaker 91 The Eagles are 10-3.

Speaker 34 And

Speaker 104 it was like maybe two weeks ago that I saw one of their super fans kept on tweeting out that they were the one seed.

Speaker 95 Uh-huh.

Speaker 130 They were.

Speaker 8 That's kind of crazy. Yeah.

Speaker 34 Change your defensive coordinator, and you're the one seed.

Speaker 2 Your defense is stacked with talent, too, right?

Speaker 44 Yeah, like pretty much all of them. All Georgia's their entire team.

Speaker 2 So

Speaker 2 they've been pretty good historically defensively. Why do you think they're making a big change right now? You think this is a good thing for a team? It seems like a panic move.

Speaker 2 Yeah, you could say panic move. I think Slay's not going to play, right?

Speaker 44 Yeah.

Speaker 2 So his first order of business was not allowing Slay to play. I don't know.
I don't want to say that's going to upset the locker room, but. Panic move? Like, who does Matt Patricia think he is?

Speaker 7 Max. I mean, no one got fired.

Speaker 7 This happens all the time in the NFL. They switch up play callers.
Someone's just switching up the play call.

Speaker 2 Does that happen all the time to teams that had the one seed?

Speaker 7 That had, well, yeah, every team had the one seed at one point in the year.

Speaker 2 You know what I'm saying, Max? Memes.

Speaker 30 Answered the question.

Speaker 42 Memes.

Speaker 123 Can you, Max, switch seats?

Speaker 110 Okay.

Speaker 110 Okay.

Speaker 36 Thank you.

Speaker 3 Memes, can you make sure that you sit in in that seat going forward?

Speaker 55 I want you sitting right there.

Speaker 55 Okay.

Speaker 75 Max, do you think that you got punished at all right now?

Speaker 115 Punished for what?

Speaker 55 Or like, just, you know, demoted a little?

Speaker 7 I needed.

Speaker 115 No.

Speaker 13 We just switched up the seats.

Speaker 55 It's no big deal.

Speaker 2 But you don't feel comfortable. It's not a panic move.
I can tell that you're uncomfortable. Yeah.

Speaker 56 Oh, I get it. We're totally fine.

Speaker 7 What? This isn't even a panic. What would this be panicking about?

Speaker 38 You just got demoted.

Speaker 7 This isn't like

Speaker 7 a system here. There isn't like a chair, one, chair, two, chair, three and a half.

Speaker 71 No, no, no, no, there is.

Speaker 2 What's about putting in a system? Yeah. Chair three and a half.

Speaker 63 Yeah.

Speaker 130 No one, no one.

Speaker 139 When we were sitting in the middle is the power chair.

Speaker 46 Since when?

Speaker 45 Since the whole time.

Speaker 104 That's the power chair.

Speaker 22 We can't even see you right now, Max.

Speaker 3 You're just talking. We can't even see you.

Speaker 7 All right, fine. I'm down to stop talking.

Speaker 39 Man, Patricia, over there. Yeah.

Speaker 38 Oh, no, you're Sean Desai.

Speaker 2 I would be a little bit concerned. Yeah.

Speaker 88 You just lost a big seat.

Speaker 7 I am worried about beating Seattle, and you're just trying to switch up this narrative, okay?

Speaker 134 What?

Speaker 100 It does feel like a panic move.

Speaker 7 Yes, the defense is in a panic situation. You said it yourself.
Last week, what did you say? The Eagles defense cannot win a Super Bowl. Okay, it's fair.

Speaker 10 So

Speaker 65 something had to change.

Speaker 7 This change.

Speaker 75 How do you feel about tomorrow night?

Speaker 77 Tonight.

Speaker 7 Really hope Jalen Hurts plays.

Speaker 65 Slay not playing.

Speaker 17 What's wrong with Jalen Hurts?

Speaker 7 He's sick.

Speaker 133 He's not himself.

Speaker 2 He hasn't been himself for himself. Correct.

Speaker 7 Right now he's not himself.

Speaker 2 Because I heard some talk about them benching him for Mariota anyways.

Speaker 44 Yeah, I did too.

Speaker 123 I heard some media saying there were rumblings.

Speaker 7 See,

Speaker 7 now you're panicking. No,

Speaker 2 were there not media reports?

Speaker 7 Not real media reports.

Speaker 7 There's been fanfiction on the Twitter streets.

Speaker 2 Sound like Hank.

Speaker 7 Yeah, because you guys just like to put out fanfiction.

Speaker 2 No, it was an actual report.

Speaker 7 It was not an actual report.

Speaker 7 Show me the fucking report.

Speaker 2 I'm not going to show you the report. You find the report.

Speaker 44 I don't care about this report.

Speaker 63 You're the one who cares about this report.

Speaker 38 We can't even see you right now because you've been demoted.

Speaker 7 I don't know what you're trying to prove here.

Speaker 56 I think I proved my point.

Speaker 74 Also, it's like midnight, but I proved my point.

Speaker 121 I proved my point.

Speaker 92 Memes, how you you feel in that chair? Feel good.

Speaker 7 Still doing my job,

Speaker 116 doing the switcher while Max talks to you guys.

Speaker 135 Oh, okay, nice.

Speaker 60 Nice.

Speaker 123 So what does Max even do?

Speaker 110 In here? Yeah.

Speaker 7 Nothing.

Speaker 127 Wow. Oh, no.

Speaker 65 In this room?

Speaker 44 Oh, no.

Speaker 131 No show. Oh, no.

Speaker 2 Okay. It is kind of...

Speaker 38 You really are Sean Desai.

Speaker 23 Why is this?

Speaker 7 How has this come on me?

Speaker 65 I didn't fucking do anything wrong.

Speaker 2 No, we're confused about the various media reports. Because I've heard it was a demotion, but you're saying it's not.

Speaker 44 And I've also.

Speaker 7 No, it is a demotion. It's not a.
I said it wasn't a firing.

Speaker 65 You guys are putting fucking words in my mouth here.

Speaker 105 I didn't do anything.

Speaker 2 I would be concerned because isn't Matt Patrician an offensive coordinator? And now he's supposed to run the defense. No,

Speaker 62 he's not an offensive coordinator.

Speaker 31 What was his last job in the NFL?

Speaker 7 He's a Super Bowl-winning defensive coordinator.

Speaker 7 Hank factor fucking fiction.

Speaker 63 TFT factor fiction.

Speaker 2 Yeah, he did win the Super Bowl.

Speaker 129 What was his last job in the NFL?

Speaker 44 Two eras ago. Yeah.

Speaker 104 Defense changed a lot since then.

Speaker 2 Well, also, Belichick was running the defense. We know that about our bill.

Speaker 30 Right, Hank?

Speaker 63 That was Patricia was calling players.

Speaker 17 Thank you.

Speaker 2 Now, Belichick was running the defense. I'm just, it does feel like a panic move that you're getting an offensive coordinator to now run your defense.

Speaker 7 That is incorrect. The defense was really bad.
The defense was in a spot that could not win a Super Bowl.

Speaker 7 Who knows what's going to happen now, but it's not the same as it was the past three weeks, which was historically bad over a three-week stretch.

Speaker 2 Is this a must-win?

Speaker 7 Yes.

Speaker 37 Oh,

Speaker 44 okay.

Speaker 7 But now it's the whole situation of whether I say it's must-win or not must-win, it all comes back on me of looking bad. Yes.

Speaker 59 Yeah. Guerrilla.

Speaker 70 You finally figured out what we've been doing.

Speaker 62 Go forward. Go forward.

Speaker 62 You got it.

Speaker 75 It took you a year and a half to figure out what we were doing, and you did it, Max.

Speaker 2 Do you think there's any bad juju around the holidays for a fat guy getting rid of his sleigh?

Speaker 4 That was hilarious.

Speaker 52 Great, great.

Speaker 115 Great. Thanks, Jake.

Speaker 65 Very cool. He's not getting rid of his sleigh.

Speaker 7 His sleigh is hurt. His sleigh is injured.
It's like Rudolph.

Speaker 63 I don't know where I was going with that.

Speaker 68 Max, so a Fielders fan now?

Speaker 40 Max, if you lose tomorrow night, the season's over.

Speaker 7 No, no, no.

Speaker 105 You just said it was a must-win.

Speaker 145 But what happens if you lose.

Speaker 7 This has been my argument since day one.

Speaker 71 What happens if you lose tomorrow?

Speaker 52 One must say must-win.

Speaker 46 Well, if you lose a must-win, the season's over.

Speaker 38 It's all over. He just said it's a must-win.

Speaker 2 If it's a must-win, then you have to win it. You have to win this.
You should have made this a can't lose.

Speaker 7 It doesn't matter. It's the same fucking thing.

Speaker 35 No, it's not

Speaker 121 a must-win.

Speaker 7 I've been trying not to curse so much. You're making me cursed a lot, Ray.

Speaker 11 Why did your mom tell you to stop cursing?

Speaker 7 My mom always tells. My grandma tells me to stop cursing.
Does your grandma listen to this show? No,

Speaker 63 she sees clips on Twitter, though.

Speaker 2 Your grandma's on Twitter? My grandma is on Twitter, correct.

Speaker 38 Yo, what's up?

Speaker 44 I don't know.

Speaker 7 I honestly have no idea.

Speaker 2 Is she

Speaker 110 never mind?

Speaker 27 Come on, come on.

Speaker 144 Come on. I was

Speaker 46 big at ease.

Speaker 2 I was just curious if she was one of the reply bots that shut up.

Speaker 65 Next.

Speaker 2 Ask if I'm up for some lottery ball.

Speaker 70 Jake.

Speaker 116 My who's back of the week is award-winning listener, Charlie Woods.

Speaker 44 Yeah.

Speaker 2 Big weekend for Charlie playing against his dad.

Speaker 60 He had a chip-in.

Speaker 116 He drove a green on a par four. He's an absolute beast.

Speaker 2 He is a beast. Did you see him walk in that putt? Yep.

Speaker 35 See him wave the drive goodbye?

Speaker 44 Yeah.

Speaker 35 I know.

Speaker 66 There's like a T that's out there.
