On today's part of my take, week 11 in the NFL. We're going to start with fastest two minutes.
We're going to talk about every game. The Super Bowl Browns.
Are we thinking Super Bowl Browns? We're thinking Soupy. Super Bowl Browns.
Niners still looking like they're rolling. Bills get back on track.
We get the first bad half of C.J. Stroud, and the Texans still win.
Maybe a sign that they're very much legit. We're going to get to all the games.

It's Pardon My T.

The number one spot podcast on the charts

and in your heart. Part of my take.
Yeah.

Part of my take today is Monday, November 20th.

Week 11. I got to save my voice, Teej.
We start in Pittsburgh where I would walk 500 miles. Garrett just to have a piece like his has stopped me if you heard this before, but Miles Garrett in a helmet.
We're the news this week. You see those sweatpants? They were pretty big, pretty big.
Kenny G. Pickett took some costly alto sacks as the Steelers' offense struggled.
It was a punt battle as Big Ten West game broke out, but Dustin Anthony Hopkins was able to eat the Steelers' liver with some fava beans and a nice canty as he kicked a game-winning field goal, screaming afterwards, Bulls Peru! It's an anagram car race for Super Bowl! Browns 13, Steelers 10! Whop! Whop! Down to Duval, where Calvin Ridley Scott returned from his Napoleon exile to score twice. The Jaguars put another brick in the wall of their defense as they recovered two fumbles, saying, I'll see you on the foyosade of the moon.
Jeffrey Bill Simmons scored, but it was too late as people are asking, are the Jaguars having a moment? Are we sure the Titans aren't bad? Trevor Lawrence kind of reminds me of that movie Teen Wolf. Looks really intimidating, but I'm not so sure that the team from Hoosiers would mop the floor with him.
Jaguars 31, Titans 14. Isn't that kind of weird? It's weird.
Our good personal friend, Bill Sennett. My personal friend, Bill.
Over to Houston where the Greg doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo looking out my back torch had some major CCRs, catches, conversions, and receptions. The Whitney Houston Texans just want to dance with somebody who lovies me.

Thinking back to their previous head coach who got them into a position to draft boy genius CJ Stroud.

Remember? Remember singleberries?

As Devin reminded everyone why he's good at football.

Going for 112 and a score on the way to a Houston Texans win 21-16. Whip, whip.
Kick, kick, kick, kick, kick. In Carolina, people are asking if the price is right as the Panthers season is on a cliffhanger while David Tepper is spay and neutering his coaches, keeping their balls on his desk.
Before the game, Jerry Jones put Jimmy Johnson into the ultimate glory hole, the Dallas Ring of Honor, and there wasn't a dry eye in the house. Darren Pituitary Bland hit a personal growth spurt this year, making more house calls than Jerry Jones' favorite strippers.
Is Dak back, or did he just play the Panthers? Cowboys, 33. The Panthers, 10.
Up to Detroit, where Fields was back just in time to lose another game. Jared was goffily bad, then goffily good as the game swung late in the fourth quarter.
The Bears did their best impression of the Phoenix Suns locker room having four men scoring. And Dan Campbell's soup had his team playing with a lot of concentrate as they scored twice late in the fourth to take the lead.
As for the Bears, people are asking, is it too late now to say sorry for hiring Matt Bieberflus? Because yeah, he let everyone down. Lions 31, Bears 26.
We go down south to Miami where Antonio Pierce Brosnan is leaving no doubt about his firing coaching style as he has the Raiders rushing for approximately .007 yards

per carry. The Dolphins took the lead

when Salvat scored late in the second.

Cool clock, Ahmed.

Want to show that at the White House?

Well, two of fast, two of furious Tango Vailoa

had some ludicrous cornrows

and it was Jalen Ramsey-Bolton who finished

the job neutering the Raiders' comeback

with a late interception.

The Dolphins 20. The Raiders 13.
Up to the frozen tundra where the seat is getting warm for Matt LaFleur. Stone Marcus Smart Gritton grinded his way to a 51-yard score and it looked like the San Diego Super Chargers were back.
Jaden Creed took the Packers higher with a score, and the game was tight going into the fourth when Romeo and Juliet Dobbs scored late, putting the Chargers' season officially in dire straits. Brandon Staley, have you heard this one? I haven't heard it yet, Boom.
More like Brandon Faley. That's a good one, Boom.
Because that guy fucking stinks. To you.
Packers 23, Chargers 20. To Rowell John, Maryland, where Raekwon Barkley unloaded all 36 chambers as the big blue tang clan look to wrap up their first win in a month.
Let us be the first to wish you all a happy Thanksgiving. As Brian DeBalo Dean is getting ready for the big meal, allowing two sacks of mayo.
As David and the rest of the commies' defense had Tommy DeCito looking like a snack. Much like my close personal friend Dick Cheney's good friend, the commanders are no longer in the hunt after getting their face blasted off by using his shotgun incorrectly.
Michael Sam Howell was not allowed to shower with his teammates after the game because there was no hot water at FedEx Field, and for the first time this year, Ron Rivera's team was unable to get rid of sweat. The Giants 31, the Commanders 19.
For the last game, we're going to go out to our correspondent Connor Memes in western New York. We head up to Buffalo where the Jets challenged the Bills and blew up shortly after takeoff.
Zach Wilson is fucking ass. Good one, Boom.
Thanks, Teej. The Jets turned and Tim didn't boil for more than 10 minutes resulting in a noodle arm.
Khalil Shakira was on tonight and his hips didn't lie and I'm starting to feel an 85-yard touchdown. Robert tossed Salad had to tackle Zach Wilson before eating shit.
No one circles the wagons like the Buffalo Bills. Bills 32, Chats 6.
Thank you, memes. Good one, boom.

And we have something a little different to start this show. To set the stage before we get to all of the games, our good friend Jersey Jerry and I, we put in a TD parlay, $2,000 to win $100,000.
We hit the first three legs, and the last leg is Javante Williams. Javante's got the ball.
Let's talk week 11. We had some great games.
Feels like some statement wins, and the number one statement win, the first game we're going to talk about, Browns 13, Steelers cleveland browns are seven and three the cleveland browns win with a their third string quarterback in dtr the cleveland browns are for real they are they are and they're they're fun their defense is fun to watch uh miles garrett had another great game today credit to miles garrett for picking up a steelers quarterback's helmet and not using it to swing on his head because there was a moment when Kenny Pickett, he did a QB sneak for a first down. Helmet came off.
Miles Garrett picked it up, and then the Steelers O-line went over and immediately confiscated it. Yeah.
Miles was like, no, don't do this again. He was like, I'm not doing it again.
We've seen this before. I'm not doing it again.
And Miles Garrett, we alluded to it in the fastest two two minutes did a video this week in front of the reporters where he was shirtless with gray sweatpants on and just cock just like in everyone's face yeah that's why he's not a basketball player actually because he couldn't do it he couldn't go between the legs because his big old penis would just knock the ball away that that was one of those moments where you can't even be mad at miles because like he just guess what? He's got it. Listen, if I had a hammer like that, I would be wearing gray sweatpants all the time.
All the time. All the time.
And shirtless. And I'd be shirtless.
Gray athletic shorts even. I always think about that.
If I had a sick body, like a six pack, I would be shirtless. In this office, the minute we start shooting hoops, I'd just rip off my shirt and be like, yeah, pass me the ball.
Yeah. I'll be skins'll be skins i disagree i think i would do what adam sandler does which is he's like pretty jacked up but he always wears big flowy clothes yeah but he doesn't have a six pack and then i think he's got like a four pack and then once every like two years he'll play basketball and take he'll take it off and all of his friends are like yo what the fuck man yeah i'm talking like if i had miles garrett garrett's body i'd be driving my car shirtless like just basically the minute i get home shirtless if i had miles garrett's body i think i would ruin it within uh maybe two weeks yeah two weeks of living my lifestyle one sunday and he would just look like me right now yeah one sunday but this game so the the browns uh stefanski kind of went into a little bit of turtle mode in the second.
It felt like a Big Ten West game where it was just field position, field position, field position. I, though, was – I thought the Browns, like, obviously their defensive line is elite and controlled the line of scrimmage, but their offensive line played lights out in terms of – they didn't, like, run for an insane amount of yards.
I think they were close to 100. But DTR was only sacked once.
The final drive, he was able to move the ball down the field and get him to field goal range. The Browns are, I think they've lost two or three starters, week one starters on their offensive line, and they're still able to.
That's why I like the Browns, because there isn't a lot of flash, but they control both lines of scrimmage, and you win football games that way. It was a great game-winning drive by DTR, and I think that in the second half both teams were just pretty much not trying to be the one that made the mistake because both defenses are really good.
Yes. So they're like, DTR, please do not get a sack fumble.
Please do not throw a bad interception. Just let's be conservative.
Let's punt the ball. A punt was as good as a win for either team in the second half.
And then at the end when he had to do it, he did it. And they're kind of like the same football team.
Right. The Browns and the Steelers.
Right. Where Steelers fans, if it's like the bus meme, the Steelers fans are the ones looking at the dark side being like, our defense is awesome.
Our quarterback hasn't played well. But we have a winning record.
And then the Browns, they're looking at the light side, saying the exact same thing. Yes.
But, yeah, the Browns' defense is good enough to do some serious damage, and they got Joe Flacco. They got Joe Flacco.
And much to the dismay of RG3, who had Photoshopped whipped up, ready to go, of him in Browns' uniforms. I heard that he was going to get the call much to his dismay.
He did not. He was showing off this weekend running with Dabo down on the field.
That was that was his workout tape that he put out there for the browns 40 time but it would be so awesome if joe flacco won a super bowl with these browns and as of friday i put a thousand dollar future on the browns thinking that they were going to get joe flacco so it pays out 50 to one love already down to 40 to one i'm making money joe flacco's worth that much joe flacco gave a little bump and also probably this win dtr looking not incapable of doing the job probably helped out a little bit there yeah he looked okay if joe flacco wins a super bowl and he he does like his normal joe flacco thing where he doesn't make any mistakes gets the pass interferences that would contribute so much to the flacco discourse i would i it would be it would make my probably my entire year it's a it would be a legacy career yeah it would be a legacy defining playoffs for you at that point he's won two super bowls and he probably would get a long-term contract with the browns he's elite give him a 10-year they just were like fuck it here's 300 million joe yeah it'd be man it'd be awesome he's got five it's probably because he's got five kids now and he's like i really just want to get out house, so I'm down to play. And it's crazy to think the Browns fans had the most rollercoaster.
I mean, the whole season's been rollercoaster with Nick Chubb and the win-loss, win-loss, Deshaun out for a little, but then coming back, looking good, getting season-endering surgery. This week was a microcosm for their year that it's just absolute madness.
But the Browns, if you're a Browns fan, I think where you're sitting right now, and it's not a bad place to be, I think in the back of your head you're like, yes, we don't really have a quarterback right now. Like, DTR, young, Joe Flacco, old.
It's going to be tough. But with that defense, no one wants to play you.
No one wants to go up against the Browns.

And you can basically tell yourself, and I think it's not that wrong.

I don't even think you're, like, faking yourself out when you say it,

that if we get into the playoffs and we have a chance,

like, our defense is so good that we can win ugly games

against pretty much any team.

So every time you bring up the Joe Flacco elite conversation, it's like, well, he won a Super Bowl well guess what so did trent dilfer this is the trent dilfer model that the rounds are going to go with right now and their yeah their defense is definitely good enough to play with any team in the league late stage peyton manning yeah exactly like that broncos team and the brown so today they beat the steelers um they beat the ravens and the steelers in consecutive weeks for the first time in the entire history of their franchise. Did you see, now this is where it's clearly bothering Steelers fans, and we do actually have Jersey Jerry here, which maybe we'll have him say a little something at the end here.
Big Ben was live for this game. Oh, really? Big Ben was live for this game.
Who taught him how to go live on Instagram? I don't know. He was live for this game.
No, he was's on youtube i think with with his uh podcast he was sitting in his basement and browns fans you should like if you could maybe make an nft of of the last three seconds of this game it is so worth it because big ben is sitting there and he's narrating uh the hail mary and you know the pitch back and everything and then he just goes this is the brown super bowl that's the brown super bowl for them And that's the pitch back and everything. And then he just goes, this is the Browns Super Bowl.
That's the Browns Super Bowl for them. And that's the best feeling in the world if you're a Browns fan because you know when someone breaks out that this is your Super Bowl, that loss bothers them.
Yeah. Like he was bothered by that.
There have been a few of those on this show. Yes.
But yeah, I can imagine that bothering Big Ben because he absolutely loved to kill the Browns. It was his favorite thing ever.
I love beating the shit out of him. And just salty, like the immediate, oh, well, this, oh, Browns, that's your Super Bowl.
That's the saltiest response you can give. And you know, like, it's almost, you know, on Twitter, it's like, oh, you're triggered.
You're mad. No, no, that is as mad as you can get.
It was like Big Ben putting a walking boot on his ego saying that. Yeah.
There was – yeah, there's a lot to be happy about if you're a Browns fan for sure. You should enjoy this.
You can enjoy it. You can think all the thoughts.
You can think about – I give Browns fans permission to think like maybe we could possibly win a Super Bowl. And I looked at their schedule and I think they probably have at least four more wins in the rest of their season, which would get them to 11 wins.
They have the Broncos and the Rams coming up on the road. So you split that.
That's a win. Jaguars and Bears.
You're going to beat the Bears. That's two.
And then you finish with Texans, Jets, Bengals. You could probably win two out of three of those.
I imagine that they probably will get to 11 wins. I could see them getting to 12.
Listen, the defense is good enough. The defense is 100 legit and then after the game mike ford yeah jerry maybe you can speak on this a little bit see what mike ford did at the end of the game this is torture for jerry we're watching a bet lose and we're also just like sucking the browns dick right in front of he took a he took a terrible towel from the stands gave them a brown jerome ford yeah jerome yeah jerome mike ford'skee, yeah.
Yeah, yeah, Jerome Ford took the towel from the Steelers fan,

handed them a Browns towel, and then he took the terrible towel,

and he wiped his ass with it on the sidelines with a terrible towel.

Yeah, I mean, Ben's right.

This is the Browns Super Bowl.

Oh, okay, so you're also triggered.

Yeah, I mean, I'm not triggered.

Yeah, right, yeah.

No linebackers, no Minka, poor quarterback play. Listen, Steelers have a lot of winning ball games on their schedule too.
Okay. The only thing I'm mad about with this game is I really, really wish – the Browns ended up kicking what, like maybe it was like a 35-yard field goal to win this game.
They didn't really need those extra like 15 yards. I was really hoping because they outgained the Steelers by 10 yards.
If the Steelers had lost but had outgained the Browns, it would have been so perfect. But we do have the Steelers.
They have continued the streak. They have been outgained in every single game this year.
Jerry, so where are you at? You think the Steelers, you got to get off the mat, fight some more? You're still right now yeah they're not they're the season's not dead yet but um if they drop if they drop this next game to the bangles season's cooked watching that offense is just so painful yeah no it's tough you you have not had fun watching a steelers game in years 2018 yeah also it was it was mike ford jake oh double double fact check yeah you got me uh jalen warren should get all the carries. He is the Steelers offense that the second half when he had that 75-yard touchdown run, he's so explosive.
He's what you need for that offense because you need some type of spark, and he's all spark. And they didn't use him at all on that last minute drive at all.
That's crazy. Yeah, and he had that great stiff arm today too.
He's without a doubt their best running back. And we don't know if it's because he's actually that much faster than a normal player on the football field or if he's just that much faster than Najee Harris.
Yeah. It also, it is true sicko stuff, but I do love watching a game like that where you know that punts matter so much.
Yeah. And field position, like a punt out of the end zone is a disaster yeah you need to down your punts in the five yard line and just and get the ball back and basically punt your way to a field the game is like just a slow war of attrition to see if you can maybe finagle your way into having great field position for the very last drive of the game and i love it and that's all i love it i love those type of games um all right next game texans 21 cardinals 16 we had cj stroud's first bad half of football this year in the second half he was phenomenal in the first half he had there was a moment at halftime of the early games where cj stroud had more yards personally than any other team playing at the time he had 259 yards yards in the first half, including like an absolute dime to tank Dell.
And in the second half, he was not good. He had three interceptions this game.
All three were in plus territory. I think two of them were in the red zone.
One was at like the Cardinals 26. Afterwards, he was asked about it, and he said, Steph Curry doesn't ever stop shooting.
I'm going to keep letting it fly. So, gunslinger.
I like that. I like it too.
Well, that mentality is only good if you're good. Yeah.
That mentality sucks if you suck. Yes.
It's like I'm wearing a Jordan Poole jersey right now. That is also his mentality.
Yes. Not necessarily the right one that you want to have if you're not very good at playing that sport.
But much, I guess, C.J. Stroud has earned the right

to just keep shooting at this point.

He's that good.

Where it's like, I want to go down having C.J. Stroud.

I trust him to take chances.

And he had his welcome to the NFL moment today.

Yes.

And it's always good when you're welcome to the NFL moment

is also a game in which you win.

In which you bounce back and win the game.

Double welcome to the NFL moment.

So he got absolutely smoked on a sack that I thought maybe he got concussed because he did have a couple of really bad interceptions in the second half. I think maybe only one of them.
No, maybe both of them were after that. But he also had his welcome to the NFL moment where you know you've arrived when we start making a big deal of your pregame routine.
So he plays like 16 sports in a pregamegame routine where he's like whipping it looked like a tennis ball on top of a stick yeah it's like something with the hip thrust an exercise you see jamis winston doing with his personal trainer and like three dogs in the backyard yeah or like a bdsm like dungeon yeah yeah he yeah he was like practicing foul shots yeah it was all he was like throwing balls into the kicking net it was great but that is the – Yeah, that's like the sign you've really made it when we start freaking out over your pregame routine. But so for this Texans game, they did not play their A-plus game.
And weirdly, I'm like more confident in the Texans going forward because they prove that they can win games when C.J. Stroud isn't perfect.
Their defense kind of bowed up, stopped the Cardinals three times on fourth down in the second half.

And I'm like, listen, when you can win when you're not great,

that's a sign of a really good team.

We said back in October that there's a chance that this team makes the playoffs.

I'm almost ready to go one step further.

I think that the Texans can win the division.

Yeah.

Because they play the Jaguars next weekend, right?

They already beat them once.

They beat them one time. If they beat the Jaguars jaguars they i believe are in first place in that division

they um right now they're six and four i think the jaguars are seven and three so yeah so yeah

they would have would be they would have the tiebreaker so that's a big game the texans

could win that division like cj stroud is that good yeah that's a big fucking game i'm excited

for that game uh as for the cardinals i don't know kyler looked awesome at times and then he looked

Thank you. is that good yeah that's a big fucking game i'm excited for that game uh as for the cardinals i don't know kyler looked awesome at times and then he looked kind of short sometimes too yeah a couple balls batted there's a lot of short guys on the cardinals that's kind of how they operate yeah he when he throws a pass to rondell more i think the like average height on that play is five foot six yeah the cardinals are officially though like they with kyler murray back they are in full frisky can can pick off anyone mode they look like a competent football team yeah collars back that's the best you can say about it and again this is like as good as it gets for the cardinals much like your bears when you watch them you want to see your quarterback play well you want to see your team fight a little bit and then ideally you'd like to see them lose at the end to protect your draft pick yeah exactly so good job cardinals as a win-win all around uh all right next game giants 31 commanders 19 tommy devito tommy devito day the guy has what he calls jersey juice so jersey juices to have confidence in the face of difficult situations that was the motto all week in the Giants facility he was telling everyone I got jersey juice and he came out I like jersey juice I like that phrase and he threw I call it tomato sauce yeah he's I mean he played he outplayed Sam Howell he threw three touchdowns he now has more touchdown passes than any QB playing in New Jersey this season.
So that's Zach Wilson.

Obviously Aaron Rodgers got hurt.

Daniel Jones, Tyrod Taylor.

Yeah, he also has five touchdowns.

The five touchdown passes he has this year are the most touchdown passes

by a giant starter in his first two starts since 1950.

Tommy Vito might be a franchise quarterback.

Again, he's got two starts, and he has more touchdowns than Zach Wilson.

Yeah.

We started every game except the first, in which he played like three and a half quarters.

Yes.

Tommy DeVito might be a franchise quarterback.

We made Tommy DeVito look like a franchise quarterback today.

I was not confident going into this game.

The commanders should not be favored by nine points against anybody ever.

I'm going to say that in perpetuity for the rest of the existence of the franchise.

I was not confident.

We lost the Giants once already this year. It didn't surprise me that we lost again our defense looked like ass uh we got we actually got a lot of sacks we sacked tommy nine times today so knocked him around a little bit and then just on the back end uh just completely i think we played man-to-man for the entire game and then tommy just found the holes where he could and credit to tommy dev.
He had a good game today. He looked like a serviceable quarterback.
I'm just going to quote magic Johnson because I feel like magic Johnson, um, said it the absolute best. Wow.
Exclamation point. My Washington commanders turned the ball over six times today and gave the giants 24 points off turnovers.
We lost 31 to 19. I agree.
Magic. I agree.
That's a perfect encapsulation ofulation of the game uh it's tough to win when you don't score more points than your opponent and he fired that off like three hours after the game i that's been the highlight of of my season really as a commanders fan is just seeing magic johnson tweet a game recap it's beautiful way way later after the game uh and then post game there was no water in the commander's locker room so players couldn't shower so uh the giants and commander's locker rooms they didn't have hot water at all and the team said we basically lost hot water we tried to repair we couldn't fix it during the game so sorry this ryan fitzpatrick's watching this he's like i really wish i'd played a full season there yeah that's kind of my style is to just just go stink and drink afterwards but the commanders are ass they're ass ass so this is different than last week

they're ass ass so this is different than last week they're ass ass we're we lost to the worst team in football twice i'm pretty sure that means we're the worst team in football yeah um i guess my biggest question for you is sam howell was bad today yep and it was up against the defense that had given up 79 points in the last two games yep um how do you feel about that was it oh they kind of overlooked the giants or are you a little concerned because it felt like a step backwards he'd been playing great ball and then the sacks came back it's a step back three interceptions came back like it was bad it's a step timey devito outplayed him outplayed him it was a big step backwards but I'm I still like Sam I still think we focus on Sam we build around Sam I have not changed he's still the guy Sam's the guy he had a bad day you ever have a bad day yeah it happens bad days happen he had a bad day today and a lot of people had a bad day today and I'm hoping that the day was bad enough to the point where Josh Harris just says okay I'm I'm going to fire Ron and Jack Del Rio. That would make my Thanksgiving.
That would be great. If we went into Dallas on Thursday, let Bien-Ami coach for the rest of the season.
Yeah. Because I think he deserves a tryout to be a head coach.
We want to see if he's the kind of guy that we're going to keep around because Ron's got one year left on his contract. Bien-Ami, I don't know what his contract is right now, but i assume he's going to be here next year in theory we need to figure out if we want to make him the head coach or not give him a shot from this point out to the regular season ends like that's your team yeah that's your team let's see what you got yeah um hank yes survivor so you hank was on a bye this week hank actually he he is now a true loser because he did say to me, he's like, man, having a bye week is nice.
And I was like, yep. When you don't have to watch your bad team on Sunday, it's a comforting feeling.
Yeah, stress-free. Yeah, but you did have stress.
I did have stress. I was in the Survivor League.
There was like 30 people left, and I picked the Commanders. Shouldn't have done that.
Tommy DeVito, they didn't even let him pass for like two games. Yeah.
Sammy Howell's the guy. They had 100 sacks.
Yeah. And they got blown out.
It's actually the first. He did get blown out.
It wasn't even close. It's the first time in 39 years that a team gave up nine sacks and then won a game by double digits.
You assume going into it, the worst case scenario is a a sweat. It also – And it wasn't even that.
It wasn't even a sweat. Yeah, no, the Giants were covering easily and winning the game easily pretty much the entire game.
I think at one point it was like 14-12. It also is a good reminder that tanking doesn't happen in the NFL because I saw a clip of Tommy DeVito and Saquon after the game, and they were as happy as could be.
They're not going to tank. They're out there playing their balls off.
Saquon was awesome today. He caught two touchdowns.
He was everywhere. Do we think Tommy DeVito has played himself into having a job as a backup going forward? I think we just need to remember that this is the Washington Commanders that he played against.
Yes. So keep that just in the back of your head when you're evaluating the TD film.
No, I know, but still do you think he has, I mean. He's going to have a chance.
Yeah. Yeah.
He's got a chance. He's got a roster spot.
Yeah. He's got a roster spot.
It's a backup. Listen, Tommy, in camp.
He's not the worst backup ever. If you had looked at the last two games that he played, I would say definitely no.
So now it's a conversation that we're having. Which QB in New York would you rather have? Josh Allen.
Tommy DeVito. New Jersey.
You gotta say New Jersey. New Jersey.
Yeah, Tommy DeVito. Easy.
It is kind of funny that he has more touchdown passes than Daniel Jones who how big was Daniel Jones' contract? It was like $160 million. $140 million.
I think it was $160 four years 160 million and tommy devito gets paid 44 000 uh an episode yeah and then he probably didn't need to shower after the game he probably goes to his mom's house to shower right yeah he did when you when you understand what he like i was reading more about it he is right when he said that he probably couldn't find a house closer to the facility than his parents' house. Yeah.
A nine-minute drive. Yeah.
And also, in that part of the country, you're paying a shitload of money. So, good for him.
I do not make fun of him at all for staying at home. That's the dream.
And now he has a quarterback win. We talked about Tommy DeVito being a future PE teacher or high school coach.
Yeah. the jersey in his lock in his uh office being like hey remember the time I went out and started against the Cowboys yeah don't worry about the score now he can be like remember the time he's got a probably got a game ball probably got a game ball that he can put in his office and be like look at this I won a football game in the NFL yeah I um I actually reached out to my mom too she was texting was texting me during the game watching it, and she said, this team just frustrates me.
They seem unable to take advantage of opportunity. They always screw it up.
She understands. My mom knows ball.
Yeah, yeah, she does. That was a tough game for the commanders.
So are we – there's no more yafs. We're out of the hunt.
Yeah. We're firmly out of the hunt.

Listen, if we steal one from the Cowboys, I think now we have to steal every game.

Yeah, you got to steal them all.

I think it's all steal.

It's a must steal.

You must steal all of them. A must steal game from now until the end of the season.

We're not a very good team.

In fact, we're a bad team.

In fact, we're an ass team.

In fact, we're an ass-ass team.

It was just-

Super ass?

Watching it.

No, I think ass-ass is worse. Yeah, it might be worse we are ass ass ass ass we're going ass to ass right now damn we're human we're human centipeding our own butthole damn that's tough um shout out jersey juice he's got a revel probably already trademarked that that fucking slime ball yeah jersey juice it's just it's vodka.
Jersey Juice. Yeah, a little marinara on it.
I like it. Jersey Juice.
Okay. It is very Jersey to...
He's so Jersey that he's like, Jersey Juice. It's like New Jersey is the one place that people have to face adversity.
Yep. Unlike anywhere else.
Yep. That's what we do in New Jersey.
Yeah. What kind of adversity is Tommy DeVito facing? Tommy DeVito.
He did have to, he did have to be the quarterback at Syracuse and then transfer to Illinois. It feels like some adversity.
My guess is Tommy DeVito has had a pretty good life. No, that's a change.
Right. Well, his parents look awesome.
I know. But again, quarterbacking for Syracuse is adversity.
Yeah. McNabb did it.
Yeah. And then having to quarterback for Brett Bielma, some adversity.
That would be adversity. There's some adversity there.
I bet you they had some great dinners, though. Yeah, for sure.
Okay, next up. Dolphins 20, Raiders 13.
Dolphins kind of almost blew this game. Their offense was clunky.
They were sloppy, some turnovers. But their defense, their defense looked good.
And I know it's Aiden O'Connell, but this is why I kind of had the Dolphins on, taking them off fraud watch. Jalen Ramsey changes everything for the Vic Fangio defense.
He was awesome, had two picks. And yeah, if the Dolphins can play the offense

they played at the beginning of the year

and the defense like they're playing right now,

they are a formidable team.

So since Jalen Ramsey's back,

they're averaging giving up only 13 points per game.

Yeah.

It's pretty good.

It unlocks everything for Vic Fangio.

And in a weird way, beating bad teams

by a very small margin makes me more likely

to take you off the fraud watch than if you had blown them out right because then the hype gets so crazy yeah yeah if they had if they had put up 70 points and won this game i'd be like okay big deal you know what i'll backtrack a little bit because i said against bad teams this was actually the dolphins first win against a 500 team this year oh wow because the raiders were 500 going into today which is crazy So now the narrative is like the Dolphins finally beat a a 500 team this year. Oh, wow.
Because the Raiders were 500 going into today.

Which is crazy.

So now the narrative is like the Dolphins finally beat a good team.

The Chargers were 0-0.

Oh, yeah, that's true.

Thank you, Jake.

Good point.

It's hard for the Raiders to be 5-5 and have a loss to the Bears.

Yep.

That's hard to do.

Yep.

To be like, we got to find five wins other than this one.

But, yeah, I agree with you.

Like the Dolphins, I'm more banking on their defense coming around and starting to play really well and expecting their offense to still be like a cheat code with tyree kill who is tyree kill is out of this world he has uh 1222 yards through 10 games he's on pace for 2077 yards which would be a record obviously the extra game uh no one's ever had 2000 receiving yards in the nfl in a season he also which is a crazy stat he now is fourth all time in dolphins history for 100 yard receiving games and yeah there's some franchises you could be like that's not that crazy but they did have Dan Marino yeah like and so they they were throwing it around he's fourth all time he's been on the Dolphins for a season and a half yeah very impressive it's crazy he's unguardable just purely unguardable and if you're a Raiders fan this is I'm going to count this as a big time moral victory for the Raiders I think Antonio Pierce might have gotten a job today because your defense played played good enough where you can be like, we held the Dolphins to, what, 20 points? Yeah. That's something you can hang your hat on a little bit.
And if you're a fan of an NFL team that's got a good defense and you might be looking for a new coach, all you have to do is say, well, we're just a quarterback away. Yeah.
Oh, breaking moves. Oh, you're still in the hunt.
You're still in the hunt. In the hunt.
Wait, I gotta get a picture of this. You're still in the hunt you're still in the hunt in the hunt let me wait i gotta get a picture of this you're still in the hunt that's all i missed it four and seven that was perfect four and seven in the hunt no longer super ass in the hunt okay wait my mom actually just updated me right now about the commanders this is good she said i i really don't know it's like rehearsing an orchestra and the performance sounds weak as though things don't sound rehearsed.
Is it the coaches? Four question marks. She texted you at 11 p.m.? Yeah.
She knows ball. Damn.
Yeah. She's right.
She saw the in the hunt. She's right.
She was an orchestra teacher and she's like, yeah, it's bad coaching. She gets it.
Back in the hunt. So back to what you were saying about the Dolphins winning a game close against a bad team.

Maybe the Raiders aren't a terrible, terrible team.

They're not.

They were a bad team. They were a bad team.

When McDaniels were coaching.

Yeah, right.

That's true.

No, they're not.

This was the first time the Dolphins won a game this year

where they scored 20 points or less.

So that is a sign that things are changing

where they can win a game ugly in a different style

where they don't have to be like a front runner

and just run and shoot all over your face. They're figuring out ways to win.
I think the Dolphins are like, yeah, I'm close to getting them off the fraud watch. They're on the fraud watch.
They're on the fraud watch, but it's for a good reason. Yep.
I want to take them off. That's why.
The Broncos are trying to drive with a minute 45 left to try to win this game. I think they can do it.

I don't think they can do it.

Straw poll?

I think they can win the game.

I think they can win the game, and I think they can win the bet.

They definitely can't win. We still need a pass interference in the end zone.

Yeah, we need a pass interference in the end zone.

That's the only play.

I wonder if the Broncos will try to kick a field goal here

because that's kind of been their strategy all night is just kick a field goal.

A fumble? Yeah, but it was out of bounds, right? It was out of of bounds you didn't get it god damn this in the hunk graphic yeah you heard me i was ready to move on it just yeah it just teases you i was ready to move on like 30 seconds ago and now i'm right when i thought i was going to bring me back in they got to get p right now he just fumbled got to put him in the doghouse no more more snaps for him. Yeah, that ball was out of bounds.
Okay, let's take a quick break. Let's do a couple ads.
And I agree with you too, Antonio Pierce. He should be, like, don't make the same mistake twice, Mark Davis.
You probably don't have to pay him that much. You're already paying two coaches that aren't coaching your football team team it's clear that the team's responding to them like they're they they were in this game just give them the fucking give them the job yeah you don't have to do the interviews i think maybe he likes to interview and take people to his favorite pf changs he likes to go out to dinner and likes to take people to the orb show them around vegas a little bit you know what mark davis here's what we'll do since you love to wine and dine people take them to pf janks take them to the orb pft and i will absolutely interview for the head coaching job at the las vegas raiders and if or if he wants we can be the the search firm that's that's where the real money of course i would love to be the head of a coaching search firm ernie of course he gets paid a million bucks and he just is like i'm gonna call john fox okay coach hired you you just you just look up coaches that have been fired in the last 10 years preferably friends you find your friends preferably a coach that's been fired twice in the last 10 years like get a retread in there you give them a list of names you know when you go golfing with half of them and then you're like okay well we're just gonna hire the guy you wanted to hire anyways what you say is uh to to the gm and the front office the owner you say listen what you guys need right now is stability.
You need a guy who's done it before, not won a Super Bowl, but just been in the NFL for a while. You need stability.
You need a professional organization. So here you go.
I have found for you John Fox. Here's Jeff Fisher's number.
Yeah. That's what you should do.
We need to just calm the seas. We need to just be on a steady course.
Stability is the most important. You don't want one of these young guns that might end up being like an incredible coach.
Like Kyle Shanahan, what has he proved? Oh, no. Let's go with a guy we all know.
You know, Hugh Jackson is out there. He went through some tough times.
He knows stability. You know, it'd be great if they brought back Mike Shanahan,

former coach of the Raiders, before he got traded away.

That would be interesting because you could sell Mark Davis on the fact that

if you want the Mike Shanahan, all the fruits of the coaching tree,

like look at all the successful coaches, you've got to go to the roots

and you've got to get Mike in the building and then in like 10 years

start hiring all of his assistants to be the head coach. And then you'll be good.
And then it will happen again. All right.
Let's take a break. We'll do a couple ads and maybe the Broncos will score and win this game.
We'll talk about that after these ads. All protein bars generally taste the same, but not one bars.

All right, while we were doing ads, Russell Wilson just drove the Broncos down the field for a go-ahead touchdown with Cortland Sutton. That was an incredible drive by Russ.
It was a good nice pass we got good russ back officially also javante williams they used him in the two-point conversion play and it didn't work so that makes me feel a little better it would have been the worst if he had gotten the two-point yeah because he cares yeah exactly you've been like oh that was a goal line play but we never got to goal line that was russell wilson might be back he's back to i guess the the better version version of Russell that we saw at the end of his Seahawks career.

He's not like back, back to old, old Russ.

He's like good Russ, not great Russ.

Right.

But good Russ with his team, obviously, we're seeing right now, you can win a lot of football games with good Russ. And it's, again, it's more like long-term picture where this is now not a situation where you're saying to yourself, we have to eat all this money and cut him because it's untenable.
The Broncos are going to be 5-5 if they can close us out because Josh Dobbs still has a minute left, so this game is far from over. But you have options now.
You can use your draft pick. You can do a lot of different things if you are the Broncos and you want to go forward with Russ.
There might be too much time for Dobbs, though. We got a minute.
I do think there might be too much time for Dobbs. All right.
Let's keep going, and we'll update as this goes. All right.
Next up. Oh, also, Jerry just got up and walked out, probably already in his car, probably already halfway back to Arlington Heights.
I like the one nice thing about Jerry, like he it well when he knows he's out he's out he's gone he doesn't linger he just is like I'm gone how much money did Jerry lose tonight uh zero dollars okay that's what I thought yeah although he has I gave him a loan uh because fuck banks and fuck interest rates on credit credit card charges uh so I helped him get out of credit card debt if this had won, I was going to wipe away his loan. So he would have won.
He didn't lose anything. Right.
Except for the fact that he would have had his loan wiped away. Which would have been very nice.
It would have been very nice for him. But we'll keep shooting.
It's gambling. It happens.
What are you going to do? It's about the stories and the friendships you make along the way. All right.
Next up, Lions 31, Bears 26. So this was the perfect Bears tank game.
Justin Fields back, looked great, used his legs, hit DJ Moore, climbed the pocket, hit DJ Moore with a dime, had 104 yards rushing. The Bears controlled this game.
Their defense was buzzing, turned over Jared Goff three times, another turnover on a fumble. And then we got down to the last two minutes, and the Bears went to full tank offense where they just ran the ball up the middle twice and then took a deep shot that had no chance of being converted.
It would be nice for Justin Fields to win a couple games, but in terms of big picture, this was a perfect game because he looked good, the Bears competed, and Matt Eberflus is 100% not the coach and should be fired. He loses every game like this.
He is a complete coward of a coach, and their draft position stays intact, and I can live with it. This is the same conversation we were having last year, though, too.
I know. No, I know.
Well, that's the common denominator. Matt Eberflus is a bad coach.
It's good that at least at this point we know that Matt Eberflus is not going to be around next year. There were rumors that he was maybe going to save his job because the defense has been playing a lot better.
That needs to just be snuffed out. Like he's a loser of a coach.
He coaches games lose so this was the first time in nfl history yes that a team had a plus three turnover margin 40 minutes time of possession and lost yes it never happened going back to 1932 teams were 48 and oh until the bears did that today and remember this is this is his masterpiece this This is his masterpiece. And remember, this is also, the Bears had earlier this year a game where it was split time possession 30-30, but a plus five turnover margin against the Saints and lost that game.
Matt Eberflus is a loser of a head coach. He needs to be gone.
I agree with you, though. It is like kind of deja vu where it's like, are the Bears just going to stick in this land of just like every time they lose, I'm like, it's okay.
Draft picks. I don't really have an answer to that question.
It does feel like I'm in Groundhog's Day, and maybe I'm foolish to think that next year will be us breaking Groundhog's Day, but I guess that's what happens what happens when you're groundhogs that you think the next day you wake up, you're going to not going to be there anymore. So I'm just telling myself next year when we get to week one, we won't be there anymore.
But yeah, we could be sitting here at this exact point next year and I'm having the exact same conversation with you and you're going to be like, are you okay? Are you okay? What do you think people called it before the movie groundhogs day came? I don't know. It's a good question.
Yeah, I don't know. I think they just invented a new word for it, a new explanation for it.
But yeah, it is the same conversation we had last year. But it's also completely logical on your end to say, it's good for the team if we get a better draft pick.
It's good for the team if the defense plays well. It's good for the team if Justin Fields looks competitive.
These are all bonuses those are all exactly what you're looking for but a win accomplishes nothing don't yeah i'd say the biggest thing is you have to maybe win a game in september or yeah winning games in september might might break you from this cycle where you're like you know so quickly saying draft pick it would also help if you won a divisional game yeah we don't win those i think since e think since Iberflues said, was it him or Poles that said, we're going to take the division, we're not going to give it back. No, he doesn't win them.
Matt Iberflues has not won a divisional game. No.
And he's like leading in all of them. Yeah.
And guess what? We're playing the Vikings on Monday night. It'll probably be the same thing where it's like they look good for a few quarters and they go into turtle mode.
Yeah, whatever. I'm in Groundhog's Day.
It's fine. I'll be fine.
Two picks. I'm fine.
That is actually the right response after this game. Yeah, it does.
It does sound like loser talk. But guess what? When you lose, you might as well get some advantage afterwards.
This is like the most productive loss that you can possibly have. Right.
Your coach is one step closer to being fired and you do get a better draft pick out of it so it makes sense to spin it this way i would definitely spin it that way i had another moment uh the other day where just like clicked on me because um our good friend kyle long he wasn't able to he didn't have his credit card so he couldn't stay in the hotel when he came to chicago came to the office so he stayed in my house and when my son woke up and walked the stairs, there's this behemoth of a man standing at the bottom of the stairs. He's like, what the hell? And I was like, this is my friend Kyle.
He played for the Bears. And he immediately said, he's like, when the Bears lose, they actually win.
And Kyle looked at me and was like, really? And I was like, yeah, dude. Like, you know.
You know how it works here. Listen, he's going to be in for a life of pain.
You've got to get started early on the spin zones. When losses are wins, you win a lot.
Yeah, yeah. You almost never lose, actually.
As for the Lions. Yeah, I was going to say, if you're a Detroit fan, you probably had your diaper on today.
This is a full diaper game. I'm going to give this two diapers on a scale of zero to two and a half diapers.
It was bad. It was bad for the most part of the game.
And then you ended up winning, so you got to be happy about that. And the thing is, Jameson Williams, I think, makes a big difference now that he's getting into the flow of the offense.
He is so fucking fast, it's crazy. So Jared was not good today for the first 56 minutes of the game.
He kind of looked lost. He was turning the ball over.
He was rushed in the pocket. Then when they came to winning time, they were down 12 with 4.15 left.
He drove them down for a touchdown in a minute and 16, which is like really the only way you can come back from down 12 is you have to do it very fast. That dime he threw to Jameson Williams was incredible.
And then the last drive, he did the same thing where he just perfectly diced up the Bears, moved the ball down the field for the game-winning touchdown. Also, shout out Darnell Wright, my MVP of the week.
That was great. For kicking the ball out of the end zone and not having the spread get in jeopardy.
So, yeah. Hutchinson was about to recover that for a touchdown.
Yeah, no doubt about it. But that the Lions are flirting with stuff right now.

I don't know.

You know what, though?

You could also say the Lions are learning how to win.

It's in true Michigan form.

They're battling through a whole bunch of adversity that they created for themselves.

Okay, so I think this Lions team, this offense is very, very good.

I have concerns about the defense.

Lions fans probably would agree with this statement.

It does feel at times when you look at their season thus far,

can't apologize for being 7-3.

Maybe a lot of weight put it on that first week one win against the Chiefs.

Yeah, when they didn't have Kelsey.

They're going to have a game coming up.

Let me look at their schedule real quick.

They're going to have to beat. Sorry, they're 8-2.
I apologize. People are going to definitely get some tweets right there.
Now you've caught up. They're 8-2.
I apologize. They have a game against the Cowboys second to last week of the season.
That will be a big one. How sick is it, though, if you're a Lions fan that you get to enjoy this Thanksgiving game? Yeah.
That's awesome. No, look, they're going to go to the playoffs, and I do think they can win playoff games.
I just – their defense does make people nervous. The Bears were able to move the ball very well on them.
Yeah. They had like 25 first downs.
That's a lot of first downs. That's a ton of first downs.
I don't think we had 25 first downs. Either way, Lions fans know where they stand.
Like, this season is awesome. You're building something awesome.
now that you are officially a good team at eight and two the like levels start to change where it's like all right you're eight and two it's no longer the plucky underdog lions you're eight and two you have a stranglehold now on the nfc north because the vikings just lost you have to figure out you know can can you win playoff games that's the next step in this whole thing they had 25 first downs so this is there's had 25 first down here's another crazy stat here down by more than 10 points or I guess 10 points or more with less than five minutes ago teams were 0 and 84 make that 1 and 84 per the CBS postgame show. Whoa.
I guess that's this season.

It sounds like that's probably from this season.

But that's crazy.

If you're a Lions fan, your team doesn't give up.

And in the postgame, Dan Campbell is about to cry,

talking to Aiden Hutchinson.

It just looks like a team that's very easy to root for.

And here's another fun stat here, okay?

There's four teams that have never made a Super Bowl.

It's the Lions, the Browns, the Jaguars, and the Texans.

The Lions have not had a better start since 1954 than they have this year. The Browns have not had a better start since 1994.
The Jaguars have not had a better start since 1999. And the Texans have not had a better start since 2018.
Not as impressive with the Texans. But those first three.
But the first three. Awesome.
I mean, especially the Lions. You have not been 8-2 since 1954.
The Lions and the Browns are good. Yeah.
They're good football teams. And they're going to be in the playoffs.
And I'm excited for that. The fan bases, those two fan bases deserve to have some type of happiness and be able to wake up on Sundays and be like be like I'm excited to watch my football team play those are the little joys that make it all worth it you have you wake up you're like I'm excited to watch this game if you have if you live in a super cold climate like Detroit I guess Cleveland is probably pretty bad weather too you get a lot of that lake effect snow if you live in a place like that in the wintertime you have to have one sports team that you're excited about.
You have to. That's the only way that you can get through those types of winters.
And the Lions fans are going to be super excited, at least through January. Because the team, they've got the best offense in the NFL.
They have the number one offense. The Detroit Lions have the best offense.
And it's not a fluke. And with Jameson Williams back, it's always good to have a guy that at the end of the day, you can just be like, go run past everyone.
Yeah. And we'll just throw it down.
And Jameer Gibbs, like they have so many weapons. David Montgomery runs so hard.
Their offensive line is getting healthy too. That was perfect that David Montgomery scored the game winning touchdown.
Yeah. Let him walk for nothing.
Yep. For nothing.
All right. Wait.
So the game just ended. The Broncos won.
We got to talk about the Broncos real quick.

The Broncos might be good.

They're in the hunt.

Like, this is three wins in a row.

Or sorry, four wins in a row.

Two of them coming against the Bills and the Chiefs.

And a really red-hot Vikings team.

Next week's going to be awesome.

They're playing the Browns.

Like, that's going to be a huge.

Whoever wins that game is. The Broncos still have a lot of work to do to get back in the playoff picture or to get firm in the playoff picture, but the Broncos might be good.
I'm happy for Russ. I know that we are part of the problem in terms of everyone making fun of Russ, but again, that's the American dream.
Just tear someone down and then build them back up. I mean, I'm going to fun of Russell Wilson.
It gives me so much joy to do that. And if Russell Wilson has a problem with it, then he's actually the hater for making me not have as much fun making fun of him.
Dude, the AFC is so loaded, it's crazy. Like, if Joe Burrow didn't get hurt, there's 11 teams that all could have...
I mean, the Colts are the in the ninth spot right now it's nuts how good the afc is the chargers are the 13th seat we'll get to the charge but the 13th seat actually their next game up they stink all right let's talk about it i'm happy for broncos fans though your season is completely salvaged and like sean payton uh better coach than nathaniel hackney i would say that that if the season had started four weeks ago we'd be talking about the broncos as being one of the best teams in the entire four no in the last four yeah they are playing good enough to be like well they've beaten some good teams we think um they are like amongst the elite class of the afc but unfortunately for them the first month and a half of the season happened jake next time we have an an NFL player on the show yeah I would like to remind me to ask him this question because I think that there's a maybe some truth in this theory of mine when you get when your team is bad and you're getting closer to the trade deadline and there are all these rumors that you're selling everyone and you're basically like punting on the whole season to then get past the trade deadline and be like,'s who we have let's go win some football games that has to be a galvanizing effect like because that is directly correlated to where the Broncos started playing good football because they were that team that they're like everyone's on the table come ask for it we'll trade anyone and then having having no big trades happen and then being like all right guys it's us now like they didn't completely dismantle this franchise let's go win some football games and true to the sean payton method of just negging all your players he probably came back to him and said to a certain select group of them like nobody we tried to trade somebody nobody wanted you guys so we're just going to roll the dice with the people that we have. He probably just negged them that much.
Where now they're like, okay, we're on a fuck everybody mission. Let's at least put some good tape out there for next season.
Or maybe he does have them bought in. It seems like he's doing a much better job with the guys.
Maybe it was good for them to get their ass kicked like they did and get embarrassed by the Dolphins. Yes.
Maybe that might have been a moment. I would like to look that up, see the teams that have ever gotten

like 60 points dropped on them, what they do from that point

until the rest of the season.

If that happened towards the end of the season,

like if that happened in late November, early December,

I feel like the Broncos just fold up and they give up on everything.

Yeah.

But it happened early enough where they're like, fuck,

well, I don't have to deal with three more months of this.

Right.

I better figure something out. I better do everything that I can can just that my life isn't completely miserable until february yes um all right next game the packers 23 chargers 20 uh let's talk about the packers real quick and then we have a lot to talk about with the chargers this is gonna hurt me to say but that was if you're a packers fan that was like the win you've been waiting for where a lot of the young guys start to contribute uh Jaden Reed, Romeo Dobbs, Jordan Love that like this entire Packers season has been weird because they essentially said we're gonna have Jordan Love start he's our franchise quarterback and also we're gonna give him all young weapons around him and hope they can all figure it out together.
He's our franchise quarterback. And also we're going to give him all young weapons around him

and hope they can all figure it out together.

And today they played well together,

and you finally feel like you're going in the right direction,

which hurts me, but I have to at least give them credit.

If you're a Packers fan, that was the type of win you're like,

okay, even though this season has been bad

and they're not going to go to the playoffs,

you see those little games where you're like, oh shit, we have talent and it will take a

little bit of time to come along, but that talent is there.

Are we past the point where we can say that the Chargers are even overrated?

No, they suck.

I think they just suck now.

I don't expect more from the Chargers than what they're showing me.

I think this was Jordan Love's first 300-yard passing game.

Yeah, it was the first time the Packers had a 300-yard passing in like 20 22 games or something it'd been a long time and uh you can stop asking brandon staley if he's going to stop calling the plays on defense because he snapped at a reporter we had yeah we had coach snap alert uh in the post game where he was like stop asking i'm gonna stop you right now don't ask me that question anymore i'm gonna call the plays i think i think he's probably candidate number one for in-season firing yeah he it feels like it's happening soon um more concerning for the Chargers than Brandon Staley snapping which like of course he's going to snap because he is a defensive coach and his defense fucking sucks uh is Justin Herbert he is showing early onset rivers uh he had a moment where he like threw the ball down after it was either delay a game or something and like stomped and it was almost exactly like rivers had thrown a little temper tantrum and i do not blame him whatsoever if you didn't watch this game and you want to be one of those justin herbert sucks guys go for it justin herbert got completely let down by his entire team uh keenan allen dropped literally a ball in his chest for a touchdown quinton johnson dropped a ball that was a perfect throw to get them in field goal range uh when they were down 23 20 if not a touchdown. Austin Eckler fumbled at the two-yard line.
Like, Justin Herbert is not the problem. Everyone else is the problem, and I know that probably sounds crazy, but, like, it is the truth when you watch these games and you're like, how can everyone let this guy down so routinely and then he gets to a point where he's showing early onset rivers, and I'm worried that because that that one little temper tantrum like oh my god i've seen this before in this chargers uniform he's just frustrated at everyone on his team so he is uh going into today he was 29 and 29 as a starter perfectly even the chargers were 482 and 482 and 11 all time going into today it is it is early onset rivers it screams and he had he so since his first start they had scored 1 502 points you know how many points they had allowed since herbert's first start 1 502 points they were like the very definition of 50 50 so now um now they've given up three more points than they've scored and they're 482 and 483 and 11 all time herbert is now 29 and 30 as a start that actually feels better like he if you had told me 29 and 30 i'd say you're exactly right yeah they're they're a very average team but we'll always like find a way to just disappoint you at the very end.
And we'll always flash to a point where you're like, ooh, watch out for the Chargers. Yeah, but now that's what I'm saying.
I don't think you can say that the Chargers are underachieving anymore. No.
I think the Chargers are just the Chargers. Yeah.
They're just the C words. I went in this game, and my entire analysis, I think we talked about it on Friday, was like the Chargers shouldn't be three-point favorites on the road to anyone because the Chargers will always find a way to make the game close and figure out a way to lose close when they should win, and they should have won this game if you don't have all these drops and fumbles and everything.
The Chargers have six losses this year. five of those losses are by three points or less yeah i would i would say crazy the chargers should always be two and a half point underdogs to everybody yeah no matter who it is and it'll probably end up 50 50 on either side they always do that uh someone someone will make the graphic which i love where it's like if you flip all the one possession games what would your record be i feel like every year if you flip all the one possession games for the chargers they would be the best team in the league yeah they're like the uh bizarro world upside down world of last year's vikings where they are in one score games and they always lose them or the steelers yeah steelers this year uh yeah the chargers stink they just what a what a i i feel bad for chargers fans i i actually had a bunch of them reach out to me last week it was the lambo because there are a few people that went to the cathedral went to lambo checking a game um and i guess chargers fans probably travel pretty well it also what you didn't realize i didn't realize it either um the packers do two it's like the gold package they call it two games a year where they uh sell a bunch of tickets because it takes forever to be on the Packers do two, it's like the gold package, they call it, two games a year where they sell a bunch of tickets because it takes forever to be on the Packers season ticket list.
So they sell a bunch of tickets to people who are on the list, like in the Milwaukee area. And basically, it happened with the Thursday night game against the Lions, and all those people just sell the tickets for a shitload of money.
And so the gold package package games are the games where like a bunch of opposing fans can get tickets yeah well yeah congrats if you're a chargers fan that that went to this game i hope you had a good time at the cathedral i i do apologize for saying that they weren't going to travel to this one you're right like lambo is a destination yeah it's it you want to take in a little bit of history it's chargers panthers yeah is the least Yeah. Is the least traveled to game.
I would imagine. Or even Panthers-Chargers.

Yeah.

Chargers-Falcons probably.

Yeah.

Take your pick of any NFC South team besides the Saints.

Yeah.

Yeah, exactly.

Like, you wouldn't...

No one's like, I want to spend a whole weekend.

No offense to Charlotte.

It's actually a beautiful city, but it's not the stadium, isn't it?

Yeah, I mean, they moved the Bahamas Bowl to Charlotte.

Yeah.

That's how impressive it is.

That's how beautiful it is.

It's a great wintertime city. Yeah.
Yeah, they moved the bahamas bowl to charlotte yeah that's how impressive it's how beautiful great great wintertime city yeah uh yeah they moved the maui to ashville so north carolina gets it all that's right uh okay next game cowboys 33 panthers 10 i don't know cowboys deserve credit for like beating the shit out of the panthers they do yeah i'll give them credit so uh per j glazer front of the program Frank Reich's seat is hot and it is in fact the hottest in the NFL I would say I would put Staley's seat it should be hotter than Frank Reich's seat but when you add in the David Tepper effect I was gonna say the Chargers are cheap the Panthers David Tepper it feels like he will fire everyone even if he has to pay them to go away i would love to see how many how many like one and done coaches they can do in perpetuity like keep this thing moving let's just get one coach per year until you strike gold it's uh it's not a good time to be a panthers fan you're probably bummed out about a lot of things but on the other side the cowboys did what the cowboys do and they beat bad teams teams, and they beat them soundly. Dax playing well, though.
Dax playing well. You have to say, Dax playing well.
Remember the famous quote? He's like, you won't see 10 interceptions out of me. He's only at six.
You got to give Dak credit. Yeah, and give credit to Jimmy Johnson for being the most patient person in show business for the last 30 years.
He had a little pregame meeting jerry jones who said we're going to put you into the ring of honor this year we should have done this a long time ago um and then he said we're actually going to induct you in uh i think like december 30th of 1923 and then jimmy was like wait do you mean 2023 jerry's like yeah absolutely i got my decades i got my centuries confused um so credit to to Jimmy Johnson. He was a great coach, and they talked about how he was not invited to be because of personal off-the-field issues that he had with Jerry.
So if I can change and you can change and we all can change, a long national nightmare is over. Jimmy Johnson will be getting into the ring of honor.
It is funny that Jerry Jones had – I guess you count Bill Parcells as well in this category. so he had one coach that would push back on him and he had all the success yeah maybe there was something barry switzer maybe there's something to be said for that like maybe you want a guy who will say hey jimmy or jerry no yeah and like i'm the boss you're not the boss just a thought i just love the idea that jerry jones still he grinds tape yeah jerry jones is at home right now probably with like three fingers of johnny walker blue he's smelling his shoes and he's watching like arkansas game tape yeah figure out which offensive lineman to take two rounds too high he's their entire draft team yeah i respect scout team i respect the hell out of it because he does actually it's not like tepper who just kind of parachutes in and says, I want this guy, I want that guy.
Jerry Jones actually grinds tape.

Yes.

Bryce Young, I had two more points in this game.

Bryce Young threw another pick six to Duran Bland,

who has his fourth pick six of the year.

Also Duran Bland, he has started 22 regular season games.

He has 11 interceptions.

The dude is literally averaging a half an interception a game.

He's a fifth-round pick.

That's insane.

He has more touchdowns than Devontae Adams. It it's crazy he's been out of this world good uh my last point and i want to know what you think of this theory i think the cowboys are actually in a perfect spot for the cowboys right now because there isn't that much hype with them right now because they have had a couple tests that they failed the 49ers the Eagles like they might just be able to kind of stay a little bit under the radar because they're a very good football team I don't think anyone would say they're not a very good football team but they're not talked about you know when it's peak Cowboys hype like if they had beaten the 49ers or beaten the Eagles they would be leading first take take every single day.
They would be talked about like they are Super Bowl favorites, all this stuff. They might be doing a good job of staying right underneath the fray where they could sneak some teams.
So here's what's going to happen. If the Eagles lose to the Chiefs on Monday Night Football and the Cowboys beat the Commanders, which they probably will on Thanksgiving, then we're going to get all the takes of Super Bowl Cowboys.
Yeah. And we're going to find out a lot about the team because they've got a very hard schedule coming up in just a little bit.
They're going to have to play some very good teams to the point where I could see them going on a big losing streak throughout the end of November and through December. It's a possibility because their schedule is very, very hard.
Counterpoint, if they win 50%, 60% of those games, then we will be talking about the Cowboys going into the playoffs. They should make some noise.
They should make it to the Super Bowl. Yeah, I was thinking about it because I do think the Cowboys are a very good team, but they're kind of in that perfect spot because when you talk about the NFC, it's always Eagles 49ers.
Yeah. And they're a distant third in those conversations.
That might be where the Cowboys need to be. I'm concerned about Micah Parsons.
He needs to step his weight up a little bit. He had his scoop of C4 before the game and said that it affected him too hard.
You can get on some pre-workout, man. Yeah, he threw up.
One scoop of C4, not that much. Actually, the perfect pre-workout exercise.
Yeah. It's probably why you're able to run everywhere.
yep stay on the stay on the protocol uh all right last of the early games jaguars 34 titans 14 trevor lawrence back yeah so we should have actually sniffed this out when doug peterson when your head coach after a couple weeks of you being injured comes out and says something about how limited you are yeah that's probably a good sign that you're no longer limited yeah so we should get florio to investigate like a grand jury on that and see what they can turn up about the injury report i can't wait to talk to florio yeah he's got so much fan fiction he also was texting me because he he wants to know if dave's class action lawsuit that he's putting uh against the nfl dave portnoy our boss uh has started a class action lawsuit against the bangles he's like is this is this for real? I want in. Totally.
I want in. Mike will be a dogged, dogged lawyer for you.
Yes. I'm just going to talk to him.
I'm going to make him talk about Bill Belichick the entire time just so that Hank has to listen to it. Hank, where are you at with Bill Belichick? Same as it ever was.
Your coach. Yeah.
Big game against Tommy DeVito coming up. Must lose.
must lose that actually was good oh you want to lose yeah you're fully tank there's there's winning does nothing you're gonna win that game though probably because tommy devito coming off of the pinnacle of his life yeah i can't imagine he's hard to game plan no you can figure him out i think a competent defensive coach would be able to figure him out pretty easily that's what i'm saying he's not hard to game plan yeah jack dorio couldn't do it now i i was i was doing my radio hit that i do every friday on 106.7 the fan in dc and they asked me about the bill belichick thing and i realized just like how how much being on this show has really fucked up my entire perception because i completely recognize the fact that Bill Belichick, I don't think is a great head coach anymore, but I would be willing to tolerate him on my team and just enduring more and more losing and passing up maybe good, successful, promising young head coaches just for the fact that it would troll Hank. That's, that's how much this show has fucked me up, but it's also, it would be very, very funny.
So I am kind of hoping for that still. I mean, what young coach would you take over Bill Belichick? That's a crazy statement.
There's young coaches out there. That was the most backhanded compliment lie cap statement you've ever made.
I mean, you're done with Belichick. No, but I'm saying, oh, I don't know if I would do it as a troll.
No, you would do it for anything. You would do it over anyone.
Name a young coach who you'd rather have than Bill Buss. Okay, from a pure football standpoint right now, I would probably want Ben Johnson as a head coach.
That's a lie. Why? What has Belichick done in the last couple years? He made it to the playoffs with Mac Jones.
That's true. That's a valid point.
Also, Hank could reverse it and be like, he hasn't had a franchise quarterback, but Washington does. Yeah.
I don't know if I want Sam Howell to take a step back in terms of the coaching that he's getting, though, because right now he's got Rivera. As you brought up so astutely a couple weeks ago, Belichick might not be able to talk to him the same way.
Yeah, I mean, you want Bill Belichick. That was an unnecessary full of shit statement.
No, I'm being honest with you. I want him just to fuck with you.
No, you just want him. That's okay.
You can admit it. I want him to fuck with you.
Yeah, no, you can admit that you want him. I don't want him.
I do want him. I do want him.
All right, sentence over. But the reasoning behind it is just so that I can.
No, there can be two reasons. Yeah.
Yeah, they're okay. Tee down, you want him because you think he's a good coach.
There are two reasons. Ben Johnson? Yeah, it's okay to admit.
Your number one reason could be Hank, but you also... It's okay to admit that he's a good coach.
I don't know if he's a great coach anymore. He's better than what you have now.
Yes. Better than Ben fucking Johnson.
He's better than any other option out there. Agreed, Jake.
Who is Ben Johnson? OC for the Lions. Best offense in the league.
We should talk about the Jaguars Titans. Trevor Lawrence is back.
He scored. He had four touchdowns today.
He's actually three times in his career had four total touchdowns. He had two passing, two running.
Two out of those three have come against the Titans. So we got to remind ourselves that he owns the titans the titans do not look good no they're they're ass they look close to the q word quit yeah their offensive line is bad i feel bad for will levis it's like yeah they're bad that it felt like he was running for his life the entire game yeah at least if you're a titans fan you have you still have the thought in your head like Will Levis can be very, very good.
He might be the guy. Yeah, and they're smart to have him be playing instead of Ryan Tannehill because Ryan Tannehill probably is better than him right now, but you've got to figure it out right now.
Yeah, but besides that, there's not a whole lot to look forward to if you're a Titans fan for the remainder of the season. No, you guys stink.
It's a fact. And the Jaguars scheduled win.
Prisco scheduled win. That Texans game is going to be great.
I'm very excited for it. That will be a huge, huge game for the AFC South.
Okay. Let's take our last break, and then we'll do the afternoon games.

Rules and restrictions may apply. All right.
Afternoon games, 49ers, 27, Bucs, 14, Brock Purdy back to being elite. Brock Purdy was so good today.
Also. So, so good today.
He was dropping dimes at 74-yarder to Ayuk. Was just like an outstanding throw.
He's the first 49ers quarterback with minimum of 20 attempts to have a perfect passer rating of 158.3. 49ers have had some pretty good quarterbacks over the course of their history.
He's the first one to do that. And that was just a stark reminder to me that I don't know what the fuck goes into a quarterback rating yeah 158.3 is the best that you can do i don't know how they come up with that i don't know the math i don't know who decided to make it that as being the very maximum does anything i think they just said we want to invent a system where uh a good performance one that looks good is just over 100 100.
That way, you know, if you're over 100, it was a good day. Yes.
Beneath 100, it was a bad day. But I have no idea the type of calculus that has to go into calculating that.
Yeah. It's the dumbest rating of all time.
We should have asked Fitzy. I'm sure Fitzy could have explained it to us.
No, I don't even think he knows. No one knows.
That's how stupid it is. I'm working on it.
Brandon Ayuk, he deserves more credit for being an incredible wide receiver he doesn't get talked about in that like wide receiver one uh conversation because he there's so much talent around him uh but he is awesome awesome yep i'm also just happy that the bucks like this sort of fucked me up if the 49ers had lost to the bucks i needed this to happen just so it's like I do kind of know football you know like the 49ers are way better than the Bucs they matched up well against the Bucs yeah I just needed that so that I could feel that George Kittle did a double dab today he actually sent it to me I need to see it he scored a touchdown double dab oh dab. Oh, that was nice.
Both hands. No chicken? Both arms.
No, no chicken. Double dab.
That's nice. Double dab.
Kittle's so fucking good. I feel bad for Hufanga out for the season.
That sucks. He's one of the best players on the 49ers defense.
That's going to be tough to swallow if you're a Niners fan. But still, everything looks like you're on the right track right now.
This was a must-dominate game for the 49ers. So they finished the mission today.
It was a statement win for them. I'm still all in on that team.
Yeah, I'm all in on that team, and the Bucs just stay in the – someone's got to win the NFC South. Maybe the Bucs?

It could be the Bucs.

It wouldn't be the craziest thing if the Bucs won.

Who cares?

It could be anybody except for the Panthers.

They should just, there really should be a rule that if you're not over 500 and you win the division, you don't get a home playoff game.

Yeah, and at least in the NFC, the South division makes sense.

In the AFC, the Colts being in the South really fucks me up.

Yeah.

Really screws me up. Yeah.
Okay um okay Rams Seahawks Rams Rams pick on Friday I said I was gonna buy back in on the Rams even though uh I said they sucked a couple weeks ago Matt Stafford gamer like throwing dimes in the second half he was bad in the first half the. The Rams offense was atrocious.
Do you see the hit that he took? Yeah. He got actually folded in half.
Yeah. When he threw that interception.
He's top three toughest dudes. He's very tough.
He's very, very tough. But yeah, he was lights out at the end of the game.
Cooper Cup got hurt, and he was still throwing dimes all over the field. The Seahawks, Drew Locke, that was something.

He came in because Geno hurt his shoulder, I believe.

Elbow.

Elbow.

But he came back in.

He came back in because that's how bad Drew Locke is,

that Geno was hurt, and he's like, well, I still am a better option.

Drew Locke came in.

He was two for six for three yards in an interception that cost him a game. Did you see the play that he got injured on? It looked like Aaron Donald hit him like he was driving a car that ran over Geno Smith.
Just wrecked him. And then Drew Locke, he is the moxie king of the NFL.
Nobody loves Drew Locke as much as Drew Locke does. Well, maybe I do love Drew Locke.
Every time he comes he comes into a game i think back maybe my worst take that i've ever had on this show that drew lock would be a five-time pro bowler just because i liked him on the sidelines rap who is he rapping to jeezy i don't know hank i think so yeah yeah it's all for my city yeah so ever since i saw that i was like I was like, yeah, this guy, Drew Locke, he has it. I can't define it, but he's got it.
And I continue to be proven wrong by that. But every time he gets it, I'm like, maybe Drew Locke.
We don't know. We need to also always remember the NFC West coaching circle.
We always forget it every year. McVay dominates Carroll.
Carroll dominates Shanahan. Shanahan dominates McVay.
Everybody dominates the Cardinals. Yeah.
And that's why I took the Rams today. They swept the Seahawks.
Yep. And now the Rams, I don't think, like, we go back to someone's got to get that seventh seed in the NFC.
And I know it was the Vikings for a minute there because they were playing really well. And if they won this game tonight, they would have been like in a stranglehold for the seventh seed.
And they still are two games up or whatever it is. They're six and five.
But the Rams, if they put together a couple wins, I think they have the Cardinals next. They could maybe flirt with it.
I just need them. I still want my money's on the Vikings.
I just need them to get over seven and a half wins then i'll be happy yeah yeah this is a big step this is a big step uh okay last game memes yes sir bills 32 jets six this was quite something memes this sucked Even knowing how shitty zach wilson is um you really it's as low as low could be we put on this game we had memes and uh our colleague tom lay sit front and center hank also bet on the jets money line and we flipped to the game and it was flipped to the game not one second later Jets fumbling the open kickoff and it was just that was the sign of how bad this game was going to be Zach Wilson got benched for Tim Boyle Zach Wilson there was a clip of him going back out on the field, jogging backwards, and he fell. He fell down.
Zach Wilson ran over his head coach. Zach Wilson did everything today to make everyone be like, why is Zach Wilson still playing quarterback for the New York Jets? I actually saw the sideline thing a little bit differently.
I thought that Sala saw his shot to injure Zach Wilson and threw him down a little bit hard. He put some stank on that tackle.
He wrapped him up and he threw him down on the ground. I think if Zach Wilson had gotten up and his thumbs dislocated, Sala would have been like, yes, okay, great.
Now I get to make the decision I've wanted to make for a while and let's move on. He said after the game, I don't know who we're starting as a a quarterback next week my guess is it's probably not the guy that he tried to injure um i think it's time now memes we can say zach wilson his ceiling is not patrick mahomes yeah no i i don't i don't even think his ceiling is like josh stops it's just bad right now j Josh Dobbs is really good.
Yeah. Chad Kelly's out there.
He is. Chad Kelly.
What do you... Like, it's over.
Oh, before I have people jumping down my throat on Friday, remember I did say at the time I thought the Jets could beat the Dolphins. That time is no longer.
The Jets cannot beat the Dolphins. Yeah, that time has passed.
That time has very much passed. We might lose that game by 50.
The Jets are so fucking bad. And you can tell, too, what's unfortunately happened with you guys is Zach Wilson, he's infested, infected the defense where it's like, what are we doing? Why are we even playing? Yeah, the defense has quit.
The whole team has quit. It's just not fun right now.
There was a weird report that came out right before the game that the Jets are going to target Devontae Adams in free agency, which is probably not the leak that you put out if your team is trying to win this year. You're just letting people know, hey, just hang on with us because we're going to try to get better next season.
Just please bear with us. So now we're officially not wanting Aaron Rodgers to come back this year? No, he can't come back.
I could see him being like, all right, I come back beginning of December. Now we run the table.
Aaron Rodgers did that last year. He was like, we run the table now.
No, no, no. What? Have you seen? He's crazy.
Have you seen his offensive line, though? I know, but Aaron Rodgers, what, he has like two, three seasons left, maybe. Okay, but if you're four and seven because you're going to lose the Dolphins.
I'm with you. How are you going to run the table and jump? Right now, you'd have to jump like five teams in the AFC.
I'm with you, but Aaron Rodgers in his head, knowing how good he is, just being like, I come back, we run the table, we win some games. This is just if you're Aaron Rodgers.
You're the third to last team in the AFC right now. If you're Aaron Rodgers.
Still what, second in the NFC? Yeah. Third.
Third in the NFC. Third to last in the AFC.
If you're Aaron Rodgers, why do you think he would want to come back and play for this team? He's got eyes. He watches the games.
I think he's only got so much football left that he just wants to come back and play. But he would hurt himself.
I'm with you. I don't think he should play.
I think he should just wait until next season. But Aaron Rodgers himself could just want to come back and play yeah i think he's aaron rogers is not stupid to the point where he would come back from like a devastating ankle injury risk it for a team that really has no chance to do anything no i i think you're right but it's bad there was a at least this is a bad this is a bad spot you're at least you had a sick post-game fight yeah you guys you scrapped it up in the tunnel where's our uh where's our hats deon dawkins sent us hats oh sick over here yeah you guys got into a fight after the game that was awesome at least you're you know you have a little bit of pride what do we got here it's uh you already snow university oh nice here i think i have a uh virus on my computer hank or someone can someone help me with that after update i've been trying to calculate qb rating and i have no idea what i'm doing that doesn't help my virus my virus on my computer.
I just had the McAfee antivirus thing pop up twice. Mm-hmm.
That feels bad. That's what they should call Aaron Rodgers' weekly hit.
How do you? Yeah, that would be a good name for it. Antivirus? McAfee's antivirus.
I don't know what I'm going to do. I'm in trouble.
Yeah, look at these. These are sick.
Shout out to our guy, Deion Dawkins. All-time moment when he got pushed.
He laid like he was dead, and then he got up and he gave an applause or looked for a curtain call. Yeah.
Did you see what he did before their last primetime game? No. Oh, yeah, he came in.
He arrived shirtless to the game, which is a great move end up winning that game. Right.
If you lose, it doesn't look so great. Yeah.
Doesn't look so great. That's a big man.
Okay. So, the Bills.
Offense looked a little better. Josh was taking some more chances underneath.
Like, you know, not taking these risks. Ran the ball well.
Maybe Joe Brady has figured something out. They also had a couple fumble luck where there was a fumble and they were all able to get on it.
His one interception was a Hail Mary. The Bills, you needed this win bad.
It was a sound beating of the Jets. The Bills do have their entire season in front of them in the fact that if they can somehow go, they have to play at the Eagles and at the Chiefs.
If they can somehow win both those games, the Bills are back to being a true Super Bowl contender. I would say that the Bills, actually, they have the toughest schedule.
They do. The Cowboys have a hard one, too.
Eagles, not so easy. But the Bills right now, they have to play the Eagles, Chiefs, Cowboys, Seawards, Patriots.
That should be a win. And then they close out with the Dolphins.
Right. So that's it.
We're going to – they have an opportunity. Right.
That's the thing. They're not dead dead.
In a weird way, it's kind of nice that they're like, all right, now we can go find out. Like, either we are or we aren't.
And if you win a bunch of those games, then you definitely are.

Yeah, they just got rid of their entire margin for error.

Yeah, 100%.

Yeah.

So, Memes, any last thing about the Jets?

I mean, it's so sad.

You're going to – whose line is the same way on Friday?

Dolphins at Jets?

Oh, at Jets.

Dolphins. Minus 12.
No, no,ets. Dolphins.
Minus 12. No.
Eight and a half. Eight.
Eight. Eight.
Eight and a half. I'm going to say Dolphins.
Nine. What do we got? Seven and a half.
Okay. Okay.
Last thing. Max saw a report that said week 16 if they're in playoff contention.
Somebody told me that it was December 2nd. So if week 16 he's on.
I just want to let you know that they're not going to be in playoff contention week 16. Again, they're the third to worst team in the AFC.
We stink. And I'm not saying that their defense is bad.
Their defense is actually good, but they've just reached the point where they're like, we have to be perfect and we're sick of having to be perfect. The punter almost had more passing yards than Zach Wilson.
That was your best offensive play of the day. Brutal.
It was a great pass. They should have more said play quarterback.
Maybe have the special teams coach call plays. I don't know.
We're also just stuck with Nathaniel Hackett with Aaron Rodgers hurt. Did Hackett move up to the booth? Yep.
First game of the booth. You hardly ever see that happen, right? It's usually come down from the booth.

You've lost all privileges of sitting in a nice, cozy, air-conditioned, heated room.

But this is a move that I don't recall ever seeing that to a team that's not been playing so well on one side of the ball.

Like, send your guy away.

Like, get further away from the guys.

Yeah, I've never seen that either.

Yeah. But, like, his purpose was was you know get aaron rogers here and his purpose also kind of faded after they beat the broncos yeah now they just they they just stink that was his purpose in going to denver too yeah was just bring aaron rogers with you and that was it now we just can't score a touchdown um brie saw did apologize to you.
He said, I'm sorry to Jets fans. They don't deserve this.
So at least Brees said that he's... Do you accept his apology? I accept his apology.
What about Izzy? How did Izzy do today? I didn't get to check his stat line. He had one rush for 11 yards.
Okay. Yeah, we all bet him to score a touchdown.
Thanks, memes. Yep.
Izzy was what you were... No, he's not.
That was what you were putting your season on. Yeah, we all bet him to score a touchdown.
Thanks, memes. Yep.
Izzy was what you were.

No, he's not.

That was what you're putting your season on.

Yeah, we need some juice on offense.

Thought he was going to spice things up.

Nope.

From the outside looking in, that was the craziest moment that you should have.

Like, it should have clicked for you when we were talking about this game on Friday.

And you're like, but we got our third string running back. Yeah.
Wish I could go back to Friday. All right.
Guess what? We got a return of a segment before we get to who's back of the week. It is the DirecTV overly direct take presented by DirecTV.

Overly direct take. Hank.
My overly direct take is that I think the Bills are going to make the Super Bowl. Whoa.
Okay. And then lose to the Cowboys.
Whoa. That would be so painful.
So, so painful for Bills fans. Damn.
Why would you even put that out there, Hank? I'm just being overly direct. You are.
I think the bills, everyone's kind of written off the bills. Sometimes going through such a bad loss like they did last week can kind of turn things around.
They've been there before. I think they're going to rally and make a deep run.
All right. That's an overly direct take.
Super overly direct. Okay.
PFT, your overly direct take. I think the Texans are going to win the division.
That's my direct take. I think it's going to happen.
I think they're going to take it. They're not going to look back.
I like that. Direct.
They got to win on Sunday. But I like that.
All right, my overly direct take. I think the Chiefs minus two and a half tomorrow night is stealing money.
Tonight. Max? I don't think you heard that.
My overly direct take, Max, is the Chiefs minus two and a half tonight is stealing money. How is that? How could you not have heard that? What are you doing? Patrick Mahomes at home.
Technical issues. Andy Reid off a bye.
All they got to do is win the game pretty much. Sure.
I love that both of you are thinking this way because PFT was saying the same thing earlier. Okay.
I do like it. I like the Chiefs.
Yeah, no, I love that you guys like the Chiefs. I love that you love that we like the Chiefs.
Why do you love that, Max?

I love that you love it.

Because you guys are dumb.

You two are dumb.

Oh, really?

Yes.

Title Towers smart?

No, but you two are dumb, so I'm happy that the two dumb guys over there really like the Chiefs.

The Phillies coming out.

I like this.

The Phillies coming out big time.

You know who's smart?

Stanford Steve.

Stanford Steve loves the Eagles tomorrow.

Okay.

That's what he said.

Fuck off.

That's a report.

We got all the Swifts in the building.

Meeting of the parents.

No.

Yeah.

Are they moving too quickly?

Oh, they canceled? Well, no. I think she's out, right? Yeah, she's out because she had a show that she was supposed to do yesterday that they rescheduled to tomorrow.
It is a fan died. Oh, really? Oh, I didn't know.
In Brazil. I didn't know the reason.
Heat. Too much heat.
Taylor Scott. Wow.
Damn, Hank. Clip that for me.
I'm going to tweet that out. Hank.
The fuck? Taylor Swift's a murderer. Do you think she's a murderer, Hank? I didn't say that.
You said Taylor Scott. What does that mean? Tyler Scott also had people die at his concerts.
It was a good thing? Bad thing. No, but I don't think that makes either of them murderers.
I'll bet there's a lot of Swifties out there that if they had to die, they would like to die at a Taylor Swift concert. I'll change the headline.
I'll say Hank thinks Taylor Swift is no different than Travis Scott. Fair? Yeah, they're great artists.
Okay, Jake, your overly direct take. My overly direct take, guys, is that Joe Flacco will lead the Cleveland Browns to an AFC North Division championship.
No. I like it.
You've been listening to P. I mean, everything PFT was doing.
They're a half game out. Just delusional.
He split regular season meetings. Joe Flacco couldn't even throw a ball for the Jets last year.
Yeah, but now he's rested. Like, you were talking about Joe Flacco in 2012 when he still was okay back then.
He was perfect in that postseason. It's 10 years later.
All Joe needs to know is that if he has another great run, he's going to get another huge contract. I'll say this.
It could happen. Exactly.
It's not going to be because of Joe Flacco. Right.
Right. That's the entire point.
Joe is like a skeleton of what formerly Joe was. But if he just does the thing where he attempts 15 passes a game and just relies on the defense,

then people will get very, very mad

if he happens to win a second Super Bowl.

Throw some PIs.

That's what I'm hoping for.

Yeah.

If Joe Flacco's starting in the playoffs,

they will make it past the divisional round.

That's my overly direct take.

That's overly direct.

That's overly direct. Jake, I like your take.
Thank you. It's overly direct.
It's overly direct. Overly direct Jake of the week.
Okay. Let's finish up.
We got who's back of the week. Before we do who's back of the week, though, Roback question, R-H-O-B-A-C-K.com.

Q-Zips, polos, hoodies, joggers, shorts. Go to Roback.com right now and fleeces.
Roback.com. Before we do Who's Back of the Week, my Roback.com question is, PFT, I think the fans want to hear how the weekend was.
So let's talk about it. I have one bone to pick with you.
It's very exciting. All right, pick away.
Danny Boy Kane was never bit by a bear. He was not attacked by a bear he said to be attacked by a bear that's my only bone after i said it i realized i said the wrong word but that's probably why he was upset that i didn't clear with him first fact of fiction um a bear attack implies a bite no it doesn't i think it might no well no absolutely doesn't okay let me let me let me step in scratch and like let me step in because danny boy is going to be very upset that you did not clear that with him before bringing his name up on the show i i did i dm'd him i talked to danny boy all the time and you said i would like to i was like i'm gonna bring you up and i'm gonna clear it that that never happened so i said it didn't happen i say never right bit he never got that was my only thing you crushed it otherwise i heard he is running for mayor is Is that true? Nope.
Not running for said it didn't happen. I said he never got bit.
He never got swine flu. That was my only thing.

You crushed it otherwise.

I heard he is running for mayor.

Is that true?

Nope.

Not running for mayor.

Doesn't have an NIL deal.

Okay.

You crushed at PFT except for you didn't get $250,000.

Yeah.

Which I would have had to match. All right.

It would have been a problem.

So when they brought me out and they had me attempt the field goal and it was $250,000

to the local food bank, I didn't know that it was going to be that amount of money.

I had no idea what was going to happen.

They were just like, hey, they want you to kick a field goal.

I was like, okay, great.

Let's do it.

So I step out and then Pat says it's $250,000 to charity.

And in that moment, I could not help myself.

I just said, and Big Cat's going to match.

And then the split second after I say, you can see the look on my face where I'm like fuck i might have just committed big cat i was i was i would have matched yeah i would have doubled actually um and then i had to like try to take it back and then in the back of my head i was thinking like if i make this there's a good chance that people would just hit big cat up for two oh so it's big cat's fault no no i'm just saying like it's my fault for saying we. We live in a match world.
I would have matched. But either way, you crushed it.
You intentionally missed it. That was a mistake.
I intentionally missed it to the right so that Big Cat, so that he would not have to pay $250,000 to charity. So some are calling me a hero for not giving money to charity.
Not the people that need food. You're right.
They're not calling me a hero right now. Would you have matched? No.
It's so easy to say you would have matched. He missed the kick, you idiot.
I would have matched. I would have quadrupled.
I would have doubled, and then I would have matched the quadruple. I would have taken a $1 salary until everyone was fed.
If he had made the kick. It was a very bad kick.
I'm not going to say anything bad about Herbie. Herbie fucked you.
It was also really sunny, and you had a jacket on. It was windy, too, out there.
Herbie's dog was really the highlight of the week. Ben.
I got to hang out with Ben backstage. Max walked in there and then Herbie's dog made a beeline.
Went straight to me. Because he knew that he's an emotional support dog and he knew that Max, number one, is a neurotic freak.
We were really good friends. He sensed how nervous Max was around the dog and he's such a good dog that he went right over to Max.
Nope. He was like, nope.
Dogs know good guys. And that dog went right over to the goodest guy.
It is the goodest guy. So when we were meeting Ben, you probably thought you were a dog.
Fine. Probably started sniffing your ass.
Dog guy. We all agreed that Ben is the goodest boy.
Yeah. I've never made a goodester boy than Ben.
The best dog i've ever met before in my entire life but yeah then what once i got on stage it was like that part was easy like hanging out next to lee corso he's like a very funny guy sweet guy um and just sitting up there and chopping up that was like the easy part of it that was really fun it honestly was like a holy shit moment thinking back to when i was on that campus had no idea what i was going to do for the rest of my life and then somehow i'm back there during college game day it's like that to me that was the one day where i felt like maybe maybe my life is the truman show maybe this is just a gigantic prank on me well you you crushed it and i was very proud of you it was awesome to see it was like i mean like you said like going back to your campus like that's such a cool moment you you crushed it i think everyone watching awls everyone here was very proud of you it was very cool like you were throwing fucking fastballs everywhere uh like all your lines were hitting and it was probably awesome to be able to be like i'm back on campus to see my undefeated football team at the time undefe undefeated football team. Undefeated at the time.
It was great. I apologize.
For the record, I apologize for nothing. Max, people are saying Max is the reason why they lost.
Not me, but people are saying that. I was watching the game because I was invested in the whole day, so I was sitting at the park with my kids watching the game.
That fourth and 18 was such an insane comeback, and I was like, this is about to be the perfect day for pft where like the comeback and everything would have been great streamers going down the stadium would have been great however uh we still should be playing for the sunbelt championship i agree what one loss like we're still very much in first place in that division but you know rough ending to the to the to the game but it was still an awesome day i regret nothing i regret i do not regret saying that I would declare JMU to be national champions if they went undefeated, because I would. Well, and you had already said it, so it had already been said.
Do you regret bringing Max though? He is a loser. I regret a little bit bringing Max.
I didn't think about the Max vibe, the whole loser vibe, but Max was a great traveling companion, Max and memes. But he is a loser.
People are saying that he is the reason why JMU lost. It's a good possibility.
The funniest part of the day by far, though, was when I was walking out to kick the field goal. And Max is walking right behind me.
He looks like a villain in Home Alone, like one of the burglars. And he's got this beanie pulled down tight.
He's wearing a black jacket. He's walking behind me, and this kid just screams at me.
Who was like you from the past? Yeah, it was my former self. And he was like, hey, PFT, tell Max that he's a fucking loser.
And I was like, Max is right behind me. And he's like, hey, Max, you're a fucking loser.
It was great. He's gonna suck.
Yeah. That's not how the clip went.
How'd it go? Had nothing to do with me. Oh, it said tell Max the Eagles fucking suck.
Tell Max the Eagles suck. Yeah.
And then it was, and you were like, he's right here. Tell him.
He's like, he got so excited to tell me. He was like, hey, Max, the Eagles suck.
Fuck the Eagles. People shouldn't do that to Max when he's in public.
I agree. Yeah.
I agree. I have no problem with that guy.
That guy rocked. No, but yeah, if you see Max inlish, don't say that.
Don't say he sucks. No.
Don't say he was the reason why the jam lost, because I've heard people saying that, and I will not say it, but people are saying it. We had a couple interactions like that.
We were waiting in line for the bathroom, and this guy was like, hey, I have a friend who wanted me to tell you something really mean, but I'm not going to say it. And then he was just like, oh, he wants you to know that you're a loser.
It's pretty good. And I got a small taste of what it must have been like to be Hank for like two years, where I was walking around the tailgate section.
And shout out to all the students there that were hanging out. They were great.
Except for the one guy that kept offering me Coke. And I was like, dude, I can't.
No, I can't do Coke. That's why you got to bring Mickey Smokes to you.
Yeah yeah this is a nice speed bump for everyone um but i was getting some numbers yelled at me and i can only imagine what hank's life must have been like for all that time where every interaction that he had was just a stranger yelling a number to him yeah getting that before he moved to chicago was i don't know what i would have done this entire summer would have been miserable for you but yeah it was a it was a great time it was very cool had a very cool had a blast there would have liked to win that game but uh it wasn't meant to be would you have rather won the game or made the kick for the kids I'm at game made the I would have rather made the kick Hank good question no no doubt about it because then big cat would have matched I would have met and I would have doubled his match and so much money would have gone to the food bank I actually said to my kids at the park i was like if jme pulls this off i'm just gonna donate 250 000 anyway but unfortunately but they didn't and i couldn't and we'll never have that yeah yeah incredible day though i i was like really really hoping they were gonna win that game because it was it felt like it was storybook how they came back at the end you know what maybe the best part of the day was i i name drop pole assassin and we all remember the scandal from texas football a couple years ago where the coach's uh girlfriend who was an exotic dancer who has a monkey named gia that dances with her on stage there was a there was a biting incident at halloween i mentioned her on the show and that's when reese was like oh shit you are you're walking message board. Yep, that's me.
I would go backstage afterwards, and Stanford Steve gets on FaceTime with Pole Assassin. Oh, hell yeah.
And I got to talk to Pole Assassin. She's like, yeah, my monkey's right here.
She's like, thank you for the love. I appreciate you.
A lot of people have said bad things about me. Thanks for standing up for me.
I love it. Happy to do it, Pole Assassin.
Speaking of which, did you guys see Chiefs of Hulk? There's a documentary coming out? Oh, no i saw a trailer on i think espn yeah it's like i can't believe they turned around that fast i think they're talking i think they have him on record letters from jail it's like serial yeah you are now receiving a call from an inmate at a correctional facility he basically did everything that billy said he was gonna do that would have been great if billy done it yeah that's okay uh but yeah great great day for you it was it was very cool to see um shout out lee corso yeah i know he's old but we gotta be nice to we're america sucks with old people we're really mean to we are like like al michaels we gotta be like uh the italians where you just live with your elderly people. And there's still something great.

Tom DeVito.

I think my favorite part on stage was when Lee Corser just looked at me and goes,

that pick stinks.

Yeah.

I felt like Kansas State.

How many people?

Yeah, unfortunately.

So I want to address the people out there because I am getting a lot of shit from people that took Kansas State.

I lost a lot of money on Kansas State because of you.

Well, it was our friend Rico Bosco.

Oh, it's because of him. It was his game of the year.
And he said it would mean a lot to me if you could shout out the game of the year. I did, and besides that, I think everybody came away from that appearance being like PFT, nose ball, he's a respected college football analyst, but how could he give me the game of the year for Kansas State? And to those people that I let down, I'm sorry that I let you down, but I trusted a good friend of mine, Rico.
Unfortunately, his game of the year didn't hit. So I'm not putting blame on Rico, to be clear for this.
It came out of my mouth. I said Kansas State.
Oh, I am. I lost a lot.
But I was advised. So listen to Hank.
I was advised strongly to take Kansas State. And I'm sorry to anybody that I let down, unfortunately.
I trusted a friend too much. Do you know what your game day record was no i like 15 picks i didn't look it up i basically just took down they gave me the list on uh on friday night and i just basically like picked the teams that i thought i could write like a two-second joke about fair yeah that's good strategy yeah very good strategy all right uh who Who's back? Oh, and check out PMTV because the boys were with him.

So when does that come out?

Tuesday?

Tuesday.

When's Viva TV coming out?

Let's see if Hank retweets it.

Wednesday.

Okay.

That narrative is going now.

No, no.

No, no, no.

You started the narrative.

No.

I've been getting a lot of tweets about it.

No, you haven't.

Yeah, I have.

No, you haven't Oh yes I have

You started the narrative and it's going

You know what it sounds like to me

It sounds like Max might be in Hank's doghouse

Did Hank have a little talking to with the boys

Did he quell the mutiny

Are you in Hank's doghouse

Did you get one of them to flip Hank

That's what you gotta do to get the mutiny off

You gotta be like Max

If you come back to my side

I'll make sure I take care of you

Memes is out

Thank you. Memes is out.
Yeah, man. I asked the boys on the flight down there.
I was like, have you guys squashed the beef with Hank? You guys talked to Hank yet? And Max was like, yeah, I talked to Hank. We're good.
And Memes was like, I haven't talked to him. All right.
Who's back of the week? Hank uh my who's back the week is tiger woods yeah he is uh he's playing again he's going to play in the hero world challenge all right that sounds like a legitimate golf tournament he also kind of who's back in a bad way him him and Roy are doing this big indoor golf simulator league.

Yeah.

And it just, like, exploded. Yeah.
The bubble exploded. Yeah.
Like, they had some state-of-the-art technology for this facility that's going to have, like, an 80-foot projector screen and all these different green surfaces that they can change. Basically, the whole pitch for the league is the facility,

and it's in the tent pitch for the league is the facility and it's in a tent and the tent popped or something so it like imploded on like the tent is is just flat oh that's tough so it was we get a time lapse of it collapsing i don't know it was supposed to start pretty soon and i don't think that's happening now it's tough though when your whole league is like league is like this tent, essentially, and the tent, you know, it's like the circus, if the circus broke. Also, shout out Rory.
He won the road to Dubai, which is the most important event. That was his goal.
Hey, that's your Super Bowl, Rory. But yeah, Tiger will come back, I guess.
So it's an unofficial PGA Tour event hosted by him. Okay.
Oh, so it's more like he's doing like hosting a stand-up night.

So he's probably going to get to the-

But he's playing.

Tiger should be allowed to ride in a cart.

Yeah.

I'm just going to say it.

He would never.

He shouldn't drive the cart.

No, he would never, though.

He should not drive the cart.

You know he would never.

But he should be allowed to ride in a cart.

He would never.

Just for the viewers out there.

But he would never.

You don't think so? No chance. He's too proud.
He's Tiger. What if it meant that he could play with Charlie? What if it meant he could be on Charlie's bag? No, he wouldn't.
While Charlie won his first major. Of which he'll win many.
Many. Just won a state championship.
Yeah. Charlie did? Yeah.
Respect. Respect.
Mad respect. All right, PFT, you're who's back.
My who's back, I have two. Swag Kelly's back.
Yes. Did I see that Swag Kelly won the CFL MVP award? Sure did.
Fuck yeah. They won the Grey Cup? No.
No, they get bounced. Oh, fuck.
But there was a great play, and I watched it, and I was like, I have no idea how Canadian football works. Yeah.
They completed a pass 10 yards downfield. Then the receiver punted the ball.
And then two guys tried to fair catch it. One guy caught it.
The other guy, his teammate, tackled him. And then he started celebrating and hugging.
So rugby. I had no idea what was going on.
But it looked electric. The fans seemed to have a good time.
But yeah, I guess Swag Kelly is the best CFL player, which is awesome. And he should be in the NFL.
Yes. The Jets should sign it.
Hank's thanks right absolutely um my other who's back of the week is the kansas state crops judging team they won their 32nd national championship yesterday the the biggest dynasty maybe in the history of college athletics game of the year on that i know kid the crops judging team i've seen the pictures of them and not in They look so intense. They are dialed in.
They've got microphones on seeds and shit. I don't know what they're looking for, but apparently no one can touch them.
There's got to be six schools that do this or something, right? I think there's probably a couple dozen good schools, but Kansas State is just the best to ever do it. I believe it.
Shout out to them. It sounds fishy.
It's the best dynasty in all of sports. 32 is too much.
Well, it's like the Texas Tech, they are the best to ever do it i believe it shout out them it's the best dynasty in all of sports it's too much it's like the the texas tech they are the best meat judges right they win all the meat judging championships kansas state is that except just for crops love it for vegetables shout out kansas state ema uh all right my who's back of the week is our guy jaden daniels eight touchdowns. Eight touchdowns on Saturday night against Georgia State.

Uh... All right, my who's back of the week is our guy Jaden Daniels.
Eight touchdowns. Eight touchdowns on Saturday night against Georgia State.
That's crazy that he did that against Georgia State. Yeah, he lit up Georgia State.
Eight touchdowns is eight touchdowns. Yeah, but especially against Georgia State.
It was an incredible performance from him. I love that lsu was like fuck it we're gonna go like you know playing video game style just get our guys made touchdowns as possible he is now the favorite to win the heisman i love it so let's finish the job text a&m next week let's finish the fucking job i do i like the fact that lsu is now just strictly making this season about getting him the heisman trophy yeah i love that let's keep that going i don't think that you can honestly make a case that it should be anybody except for jane daniel and i'm only saying that as a true college football fan not because i put a future on him winning the heisman trophy and i would agree i'd concur you know ball yeah i know that you know ball so i'm gonna trust I'm going to trust what you're saying right now and say, I agree.

I'll be back. show will be extra long so that if you have to work on Friday you first should quit your job because that's bullshit but if you have to work on Friday we'll give a point in Wednesday show where you can stop and save some because we're going to do the Thanksgiving Day games Black Friday games talk college football we have Mike Florio we're going to have to talk some Harbaugh because I think that him accepting his punishment is a sign he might be on the outs, which I'm excited for, except he might go to the Chargers, which I'm not excited for.
I also heard the Raiders. Did you say that? No, I heard the Raiders.
There was a report that came out that that's one of the teams that he's looking at. But it also might be Harbaugh linking himself to the Raiders again so that he could maybe get a salary increase increase but i don't see michigan giving him like a massive no i i think he took the i think he took the the punishment and was like i'll just i'm focused on this year let's win some games no more distractions clearly you guys want me and you want me alone i'll be out of your hair in four weeks yeah uh all right jake finish, finish us off.
My Who's Back of the Week is Feast Week.

It is going on right now.

One of the best weeks of the year for a sports fan.

A lot of college basketball.

It's 1230 in the morning Eastern time as I say this,

and we're watching an overtime game right now.

There is college basketball like 18 hours a day.

The Maui Invitational.

I know it's only November,

but it is one of the most loaded fields you'll ever see. Who we got? No, it's my favorite week of the year.
I lose all my money. So, Purdue Gonzaga is a quarterfinal game, and that's a matchup between two top 11 teams.
Who's Chaminade got? Kansas. Love it.
I love the Chaminade. Yeah.
And still in Hawaii, but they moved it from Maui to Honolulu. Oh, I don't like that.
That would happen? What's going on with the rims? There was unfortunate events. Oh, big fire.
Hank, were you making a joke about Maui? Yeah, I was. Sorry.
Apologies. It's all right.
It's all right. Yeah.
You're a big man for admitting that. Yeah.
Actually, the why would happen is a good joke, usually. But now the soft rims, we don't know if they're soft rims.
Yeah, so it's a different location, but same state. I always love when they have the palest basketball coaches wearing the Hawaiian shirt.
Yes. The guys that have not been outside, that have not left a basketball arena for the last six years.
And we have some characters in this year's men, too, with those teams. UCLA's in it.
So Mick Cronin, Shaka Smart, Marquette. Oh, Mick Cronin wearing a Hawaiian shirt is going to pop.
Yeah. It's going to be great.
It's going to be awesome all week. What are you doing? It's Peggy Kaczynski.
The West Bay Cubs won the World Series. They're showing the flashback because we're going to get Shohei.
I actually like what they're doing right now. This is better than Wipeout.
So, yeah. We're going to get Shohei, dude.
We're watching TV right now. We got Craig Council.
And the local news, without any other, like, hey, this is a taped thing, message off to the side, it's just playing flashbacks to the Cubs winning the World Series. When there's, like, a bad week in the news, I fully support news stations re-airing, like, really fun times that are happening.
I think they're just they're just showing like hey this is what we're hoping happens again now that oh it might be actually the anniversary that's what it is today's probably the anniversary it's also the anniversary november 19th oh no it's definitely not it's the anniversary of malice the palace i don't know why they're doing this they're're just doing it, okay? I like it. Remind people of happier time.

We're getting Shohei, dude.

I did my season ticket draft.

I moved up the seats, so everyone in this room should hope for Shohei.

Can you imagine how far Shohei's going to hit balls with the wind blowing out?

Oh, man.

It's going to be incredible.

Yeah, November 19th would be pretty late to win the World Series.

Is that when they did the parade?

No, No.

I was just way off.

They're just doing a retrospective because it was a fun time.

It was a very fun time.

Okay.

Great show, boys.

Wednesday, we have Florio on.

Let's finish with numbers.

18. 19.

19. Do 18.
Remember 19? 8. 71.
Pug had 88. 20.
Pug, how are your ankles? 20. What do you got, Shane? 10.
Shane. Pug signing his tweets.
Pug is the greatest thing of all time. I am Pug underscore Twitter.
Big Cat gets it. 71.
Yes. Wow.
I needed that after the Javante Williams thing. Where did 71 come from? I've been doing the reverse of 17.
Congrats. Yes.
Congrats, Big Cat. Thank you.
Welcome to the club. Yeah, now I got to get two.
Now are you guys going to align and go against us Oh for sure Hank and I Imagine never getting this Look at this How about this turn Imagine never getting this Not me and Hank Not us Fuck all of you Hank and I are the best at this. Why are you on Hank's side? Why I'm on Hank's side? No, not yours.
Hank, have you ever gotten this? I have. Have you? Yes, I have.
We were just about to do a... Yeah.
Max, how do you not understand? I know, but it's fucking Hank. The whole thing is just everyone against Hank.

Nah, nah. It's everyone against Hank.

Nah, nah.

This can turn very quickly.

Day one guy.

I've known Hank the longest in this room.

Facts.

Hank is always right.

You guys got to shut the fuck up about this whole Viva TV thing.

Thank you.

And start promoting.

All right?

Hank knows the fucking vision of this room.

Max, one of us has to get it next.

Yeah. Well, guess what? You're going to be fucked.
We're going to get turned on. You're never going to get it.
Never going to get it. Never going to get it.
Never going to get it. Never going to get it.
Hank and I have gotten it. That's kind of crazy in our first month.
Two correct guesses. Hank and I are better than you guys.
You are. That's a fact.
That should have been three. Hank and I are just superior brain intellect than everyone else in this room.
This sucks. It's so easy.
All you got to do is say the number. Hank, tell me how you got it.
I just said 52, and it popped right up. Dude, I said 71.
Boom. Popped right up.
It's so easy. Isn't it so easy, Hank? I mean, it's never been easier.
BFT, have you thought about just guessing the right number no i don't i don't you should just try to get that next time because this is making me so much more angry than hank getting it you getting it and just being such a fucking asshole is making hey hank when you got it did you were you just like you know what i'm just gonna guess the right number yeah i was thinking about it i was like, could I get the wrong number or I'd rather get the right number? And I was like, you know what? I'm going to pick the right number. And then I did.
Yeah, I was like, look, there's 100 numbers. Let me just pick the one that is going to come up.
Don't tell me what to do, Max. The best part about this whole thing is Max is trying to run the show.
You cost me a game this week. I did blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
I could talk about this. Oh, we could talk about getting the numbers.
If you guys want to shut off the lights, Hank and I will just hang out talking about getting the numbers, which you guys have never gotten. I got to turn on Max now.
Why? What do you mean he doesn't turn on me? He cost you a fucking bowl game. He cost me the national championship.
He cost me the national championship, Max. I didn't cost anyone shit.
Did he break a camera? Yeah, I was about to bring that up. One thing you didn't see behind the break a camera broke a camera on college game day because he bumped into it because you were clumsy i did it wait so it was clumsy max hit a camera and then the next thing that happened is that it stopped working yeah and then the makeup artist came up oh well a lens those are cheap right the lady came up oh no your friend max broke one of our cameras here she was busting my balls hard while.
Was she busting your balls or being like, you just broke a lens? I think she had a realistic gripe with Max that he caused $20,000 worth of damage. We're on the same team here, PSD.
I don't think that we are, Max. I don't think you understand how this game works.
I thought we were all on a team until you said it's everyone versus Hank. Now it's very clear it's just me and you, Hank.
And we're foxhole guys. Which you have to understand at this point, Max, is that Hank and Big Cat have a powerful alliance right now.
And now it's every man for himself. Yeah.
Whoever gets it next. I got to get inside that alliance as soon as possible.
Whoever gets it next, we would love nothing more than one of you dimwits to just guess the right number and be part of our crew but until that happens we have no choice but to call you dimwits because again hank how did you

get it i set a number and then it there it is i also was just like you already had this guess

the right number and then it popped right up we literally already did this conversation well we

could keep doing it max here's the thing that you're you're failing to grasp is that um

Thank you. guess the right number and then it popped right up we literally already did this conversation well we could keep doing it max here's the thing that you're failing to grasp is that um the next person to get the lotto ball actually is going to have some time where they can enjoy making fun of the people that haven't yes it's true after that next person gets it then by the time you get it in that fourth spot you're not going to have much time to like make fun of the others.
It shifts because there's, what, eight of us in here? Yeah. You have to be- If you get past the four or five, then we just got to pick on one person.
But right now, Hank and I are in the club and you guys, no, no, no, no, no. Also, you only have 100 episodes to be elite.
Otherwise, then it's your low average. That's a fact.
You just made that up right now. No, no.
He's right. Hey, Hank, how many episodes did it take you the first time?

Yeah, no.

He was bad, but guess what? It took me what, Jake?

Like 12 episodes of the new episode.

It took me like three episodes to get it.

Guess what?

Guess what?

That was the old machine.

This is the new machine.

What have you done for us lately?

Who designed this new machine?

Hank?

Jordan?

That's interesting.

Yeah, the flags fly forever.

You're the first one to always say that.

Yeah, that's true.

It's interesting that Hank designed it. Also, thank you you jake for not announcing it and ruining my moment when you do that with hank what when you like oh my god no when you were like well i said i was mad i was mad because you made me mad about hank getting it but i needed to just listen i just said it's all good i got okay i'll to listen.
I'll listen to that back because I actually will like that one. For some people, it's not a visual medium.
Yeah, that's true. You just hear screaming.
You don't know what's going on. I'm going to listen to that back, Jake.
I'm going to make an NFT out of that. I'm going to make an NFT out of that.
I'm going to listen to that all the time. I just didn't like it when you did it for Hank, obviously.
Can you do a do-do-do-do? Do-do-do-do. I think I gets the lottery ball..
No, also Hank, too, because it's the two of us that we've gotten it, so please. Do-do-do-do.
Big Cat and Hank get the lottery ball. Oh, that was great.
That was beautiful. And then can you do a do-do-do-do? That's just for everything after Max says anything.
Yeah. Bum-bum-ba-dum.
Well, Max is never going to get it. Eagles tonight, though, right? You guys are dumb.
No. Hey, do we need to say it again? We got the lottery ball.
You didn't. You're still dumb.
We're two smart people in here. It's not you.
And you're not good at picking games. Well, guess what? That's not a game.
Is it in a game? It is a number. It's literally a game.
It's literally. It's not a football game.
Oh, now you're putting on qualifiers. It's a game.
Max is so bad. And we picked it.
So bad at these arguments. PFT, you got to get it.
Love you guys. I want you.
PFT, I want you on our side. Love you guys.
I know. Listen, I'm the only realistic person that- Yes.
I'm feeling the heat right now. You are.
Yeah, that's why I- Because you're lumped in with the idiot. You're in the idiot group.
Yeah, I'm in there like.

You're an idiot.

You know what's the worst thing?

This is all an idiot group.

The worst thing for me would be if Jake gets it next,

and then it's me, Max, Memes, and Pug that haven't got it. Shane.

And Shane.

And now I'm in the group with the guy that got crossed up in basketball

and then just Max and Memes who are losers. That's going to be tough for me.
I'll admit I'm a loser right now. Jake, I'm saying like...
Thank you, Jake. It's really me and you that are fighting like hell for this next lottery ball spot.
Fuck you. Why aren't I fighting like hell? Because you're so stupid you're never going to get it, you idiot.
I got it within like three tries of playing this stupid fucking game. On the old machine.
Yeah. It's the same fucking game.
No, it's not. Yeah, it is.
Because you've never gotten this. Yeah.
Actually, for them, it's harder for them because they're only 97, 98 balls in the other machine. This is.
Exactly. Yeah, this is way harder.
I'm just saying. Thank you, Jake.
Great point, Jake. That was the third nugget of the week.
Nerd nugget of the week. I didn't have my number in the machine.
I said I love you guys five minutes ago. The show's over.
Max, you are a loser. Oh, I hadn't thought about that.
Good point, Max. Good point.
It's more impressive to never get it than get it.. That's true, Memes.
That's true. Loser talk.

That's absolute loser talk.

Memes has never, ever gotten it.

Max, you're never going to get it.

Love you guys.

Get it, Max.

Love you guys.

Love you guys.

Show's over.

Love you guys.

I came away.

I don't know what I need to say.

I'm tired anyway.

Today's another day to find you.

I'm trying to get away. I'm trying to get away.
I love you. I love you.
I love you. I'll be back.
Are we gone? Have to run me out of me. Are we lost in? I'm upset.
It's about to be a standard of work. No, then life is okay.
Say it to me. It's the better to be safe than solid.
It's the better to be safe than solid. So let me come with you Take me on me.

Take me on.

I'll be gone.

Imagine your dreams.

Let me stay in the middle of the day.

Just stay my life away. You are the things I've got to remember.
You shine it away. Take on me.
Take on me. Take on me.

Take on me.
