Ball, ball, ball, hey,

football guy,

but be the H.W.

H.W.

Martin, Mike,

yeah,

Martin, Mike,

yeah. Yeah.

Ball ball.

Hey.

Football guy.

Patino.

A.W.M. It is Monday, November 13th.

Week 10.

What?

What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? Week 10. Some spread.
We start in Cincinnati where Trent Steve Irwin was trying to put a barb right in the heart of the Texans' playoff chances, but luggage boy D'Amico Trent Ryan had other plans when he packed a dub. The game went back and forth when Jar Jar Chase said, Mesa catch a touchdown, Mesa always open.
But they left too much time on the clock for the Stroud Boys as he found Noah Brown-Eyed Woman wearing red and looking clean as Matt Samandella kicked one upstream to seal the win. Texans 30, Bengals 27, huh? Huh? Texans? Sticking in the AFC North, we head to Baltimore where Kyle Honeybaked Hamilton caught a sweet spiral from Deshaun Watson's sticky hands to start the scoring.
It was all Ravens to start,

but they're not ending this show at Jerome Ford Theater early

as LaMerry Todd Lincoln Jackson was left crying at the end of the plays.

Greg knew some things are better than sports,

returned to pick six,

and Dustin Tucker Hopkins showed the Ravens

there is more than one guy that can kick a game winner

as the Browns stunned the Ravens. 33-31.
We head west to Pittsburgh where the Steelers and Packers met. Jalen Warren Peace was booking it to the tune of 101 yards and a score, and Najee Scott Harris avoided any awkward encounters by handshaking tacklers all day.
With a last gasp, the Packers fell short as Keanu Neal for the anthem said, I'm calling game with a big pick. And like a robbery seen on a Nest doorbell camera, the Steelers walked all over doormat LaFleur and easily took the pack.
Steelers 23, Packers 19. What? What? Down to Jacksonville, where just like Mark Twain, the reports of the 49ers death have been greatly exaggerated as Debo Samuel Clemens painted the Jaguars defense white.
Trevor, four, rinse had his ball sailing all over the course adding to some wildly inaccurate drives. Christian McCaffrey becomes the second player in NFL history to go on a one-game scoreless streak after scoring in his previous 17 games.
The 49ers 34. The Jacksonville Jaguars 3.
We head to Germany where we have our special beat reporter, Henry Lockwood, on the case. Hank, over to Deutschland.
Chad Ryland, or by C, started off the scoring early with an early field goal before Jonathan Taylor Swift said karma is a goal-line touchdown on fourth and one, giving the Colts a resounding 7-3 lead. On his first attempt, Matthew Marvin Gaye and Chardonnay's kick got told to talk to the talk to the talk to the hand.
But unfortunately, the Patriots offense didn't capitalize or do anything remotely exciting all day. In the fourth quarter, Quack Jones threw an absolute duck of an interception at the one-yard line, landing him on the bench, and Bailey frapped P in the game at QB.
Unfortunately, he couldn't shake the defense with his fake spike and threw an interception to seal the game. Colts go marching 10-6.
Down to Dallas where Tommy DeVito took the stage and said, Hey, I'm trying to throw an interception here. Watch where you're playing defense.
As the Giants were subject to anti-Italian discrimination, a.k.a. a Ricco case, as famous Italian-American Mike Tirico Dowdle ran all over the Giants' defense.
The Cowboys looked like they were feasting on Easter dinner as they broke out the old Cook's Lambs playbook, as CeeDee and Brandon both scored. Some are asking if Brian Dable is about to be swimming with the seven fishes come Christmas time.
Oh, my good friend Brian Dable might

get his ass fired.

He's like Jeff Nadu. You gotta take down that video.

What? Cowboys 49,

Giants 17.

Out west to LA where Jameer

Cribs took a tour of the Chargers home

and showed everyone where the magic happens

in the end zone twice. A big

12 game broke out between these two

teams as the Lions, born and raised in South Detroit,

said, we don't stop the Keenan.

As Allen made two journeys to the end zone,

John C. Riley Patterson got his dick wet with a game winner,

and that's what I call a Dewey Cox.

Lions 41, Chargers 38.

Out in Washington, where Washington was playing Washington. Huh? Seahawks.
Ba-dum-tsh! Lions 41, Chargers 38. Whoop! Whoop!

Out in Washington, where Washington was playing Washington.

Huh?

Don't shake your fucking head, Max

There was an unsolvable mystery for the commander's defense

Who the hell is Zach Chorbonnet Ramsey?

It was a rock show as Steven Tyler Lockett and Gino Aerosmith said

Can you Kenneth Walker this way?

As the Seahawks found their office Zach Chorbonnet Ramsey. It was a rock show as Steven Tyler Lockett and Gino Aerosmith said,

can you Kenneth Walker this way? As the Seahawks found their offensive rhythm in the second half.

The Commanders almost stole it late when welcome to the Yami, Benvenido a the Yami. Brown scored

to tie the game, but Washington got smacked in the face like they were hosting the Oscars

as Jason Myers kicked the game winner. Seahawks 29, the Commanders 26.
Standing on a corner, Jameis Winston down in Nola, such a blindside to see. It's Jameis Winston, he got that doggie in him, two touchdowns and two INTs.
Come on, dogs. You're going to make us stop.
At the very least, you deserve a starting job. Saints don't go marching.
Vikings 27, Saints 19. And that is the fastest two minutes, week 10.

Pardon my take, Chevy. We are a Chevy podcast.
If you're thinking about being a truck person, Chevy is the way to go. Okay, week 10 in the books.
We're watching Jets, Raiders.

It's disgusting.

It's football.

It's disgusting.

PFT, we have to say when things are disgusting.

It is gross.

We're still watching it, but it is disgusting.

They almost scored two touchdowns, actually.

Zach Wilson had a touchdown run that was called back because he stepped out of bounds on the two.

He did a Zach Prescott and went out of bounds early. And then Brees Hall hall scored a touchdown which was taken back by a flag on the one yard line yeah so um the end zone has been breached twice but neither one of which counted neither counted and i bring up that we're watching it right now to set the stage because memes will maybe chime in uh he he basically the entire night uh has been screaming yes no not again with every good jets play that then comes back with a penalty but i wanted to start by mentioning this game because we're going to get into every game from week 10 and i don't think even if this game ends 9-6 it will be as bad as the first game we're going to talk about.
Colts 10, Patriots 6. Oh, without a doubt.
It was thankfully the international experience is over, I believe, for this year. We're done.
No more international games, I believe. Well, we saw their game in Mexico.
We saw two really bad. Which game do you think was worse in terms of exporting American football as a product? The Colts-ots game or uganda losing zero to 14 against kenya yeah yeah we had a couple ringers there on the uganda team i guess they could be ringers yeah the ringers uh hank yes you're not making eye contact hey um he's wearing sunglasses colts shut the fuck up hank all right that's a good way to start colts 10 page no no like hank's already off to a bad start because he came in firing what hey you need to stop because you always deflect when it comes to your page i don't this is even for a team that is very much tanking and bad this felt like a new low yeah no it was it was disgusting the uh it wasn't even the well it was before the interception of the fourth quarter which maybe was one of the worst interceptions i've ever seen thrown in my life i think it was the worst yeah mac jones had a guy in the end zone and he underthrew him by about 12 yards and he like went on his back heel when he didn't even need to and when i say he underthrew him by 12 yards i believe he attempted the pass from like the 10 yard line yeah the the the his i think it was gasecki he was trying to

hit was like falling down in the end zone and the ball like got intercepted at the five yeah it was

pretty bad prior to that uh i forget what the exact situation was but it was a third down maybe

like a third and two or something they didn't convert it was another incompletion and they

showed the incompletion immediately cut to robert craft who just did straight up just went

Thank you. third down maybe like a third and two or something they didn't convert it was another incompletion and they showed the incompletion immediately cut to robert craft who just did straight up just went ducked his head and just looked down like he was depressed like he just it went in incompletion and then his robert craft being like fuck this yeah it was a sigh it was it was it was as bad as it gets you had you also had bill o'brien like bitchingBrien bitching out Mac Jones like he was a teenager who had done something very, very bad.
You had Mac Jones with his cry face. They kept on showing him after he'd thrown that interception looking like he was in the most pain he's ever been in except for that time that he twisted his ankle and looked like he got shot.

In the DUI.

Yeah, in the DUI.

Mack Jones is horrifically, horrifically bad at quarterbacking in the NFL.

Not the guy.

Officially official.

Hank, we've done it.

It's not a guy.

What if he had better coaching?

That interception might have been on the coaching team. What if he had better offensive line?

No.

No.

No.

There was also a moment that you didn't mention, Hank, after the game where belichick just buried his face into his hands like he was embarrassed to be there yeah he was i don't know if he's embarrassed of his team if he's embarrassed of himself if he's just closing his eyes and picturing himself and land over maryland i don't know what he was doing but he looked he looked deeply upset after that loss and where i've never seen from bill because it have been a win it was an ugly game it was disgusting to watch i woke up early and the whole time i was thinking like i would love to just go back to sleep like i could i knew i knew i could go to sleep and wake up and and not much would have changed it was yeah but i i stayed up i watched the whole thing it was so boring yeah ezekiel elliott looked not Yeah, he was actually running the ball well. You were Mondre as well.
And the Colts, by the way, the Colts. Shane Steichen is a good coach.
They're 5-5. Gardner Minshew made some good throws.
It was the drive immediately after the Kraft ducking his head and just depression. Gardner Minshew scrambled, had a good third down conversion.
He looked. It was like, oh, I wish we had that guy on our team.
And he's a backup. Here's how bad this game was.
The highlight of the game was when they showed the time lapse of the roof collapsing into the scoreboard, which is very cool. It was sick.
Very, very cool. But that was the highlight of the entire football experience in Germany today.
But even with all that being said, it was fourth quarter.

The Patriots had a wide open look for a touchdown to go up in the fourth quarter, which is all you can ask for as a coach. That's probably why he was ducking his head because it's like they should have won the game.
Yeah. Despite all that.
I'm going to push back on you, Big Cat. That was a great time-lapse montage that we saw for sure.
I don't want to take anything away from the roof but as somebody that enjoys patriots failures uh given how much they've won and i think patriots fans are even like yeah you know what like we've had we had a really nice run so i don't feel bad saying this about it but watching the uh the mac jones interception i i laughed so oh yeah his face after and then when bailey zappy did the fake spike inter I laughed very hard again. He was in his bag.
He was in his bag. He was in his bag.
Because it's like. That's the greatest play in sports.
Yeah. Like, you have to go for that.
I will never. You know, it didn't work out well.
It's Dan Marino. You got to go for it.
You took that shot. That's like when you see the fake spike, you're like, oh, my God.
And he throws it like it's got to be wide open. And then it was like.
Three guys. Four cold cold just waiting for the ball to come to him it was it was very very funny and um i i think that gardner minshu this was like a peak gardner minshu game where he was jumping around the pocket making like one-footed throws jumping it through the air and just doing crazy shit that happened to work out and when that happens with gardner he's he's one of the most fun quarterbacks to watch when it's working for him granted it only worked, it's not like the Colts lit it up on offense or anything, but there were a couple key drives where he played well.
I feel optimistic about the Colts as a whole because it seems like they've got a decent roster when Anthony Richardson gets back. And a very good coach.
And he appears to be a pretty good head coach. So, yeah, it's a good sign for the colts that you didn't lose this game if you're a patriots fan is this is this rock bottom has to be yeah it is uh i mean i don't know that you can really like you know how to avoid rock bottom like there's like some we're being held up i know everyone there's like a blinking light that tells you watch out if you hit this it's gonna be rock bottom but it's like we're.
But it's like we're always going to be held up by the six Super Bowls. Like you can't really.
Yeah, but this is rock bottom in the post-Super Bowl era. For sure.
Well, actually, it could get lower. I can't.
I don't know. No, you could keep playing Mac Jones.
Is there a worse? Like if you're Mac Jones, there's no situation worse than getting benched with zero timeouts. Like, they could have just let him do the last drive.
They easily could have. But the interception was that bad.
He got benched. The Patriots had a chance to, you know, drive down the field with no timeouts and win.
They put in Bailey Zappi. Cold.
No warm-ups. No reps.
Like, put him in. Basically being like, fuck you, Mac Jones.
And then you have to take the longest plane ride, like, you're going to take like yeah it doesn't get worse you have to you have to overdose on ambien on the way back yeah the um i have a couple spins ones for you though hank okay you ready for these sure okay one is i'm pretty sure the patriots have a bye next week oh that's great now you you are not used to this feeling but when you have when you root for a very bad team the bye week is the greatest reprieve you can possibly have because you can sit and watch football and not be tortured for a sunday even the bears playing on thursday was a reprieve for me where i was like i woke up and i was like i don't have to watch the bears today this is nice this is awesome uh spin zone number two i was thinking about this after the mac jones interception which was maybe the funniest we should actually remind remind us Max or memes Jake is on a flight on the way back so he's not here right now for takey of the year he should be worst interception of the year just give it it was it was Carson Wentz adjacent yeah it was so so bad but here's the spin zone it's hard to follow Tom Brady. It's not hard to follow Mac Jones.
So you've had a nice buffer. He's the guy after Tom Brady.
Then the next guy can be like, well, I'm following Mac Jones. I'm not following Tom Brady.
It's a very low bar. That's actually pretty nice for the next guy.
Yeah, I like that. Yeah.
If you think about who the next coach of your team is going to be, who would you want? That depresses me. I actually had a similar thought to the Mac Jones.
It's like it's impossible to follow Tom Brady like that. That went through my mind.
And in the annals of history, it's going to get Mac Jones will be forgotten about. But the Belichick leaving is going to depress me like especially when he goes to the commanders it's just it will truly be the end of you know and obviously i'm 30 so my child is long gone but it will be the end of all my all my boston sports you know heroes ortiz chara bergeron you went to bruce right away brady edelman like they're all gone but they're but they're they were i in terms of like char was there my whole childhood like he was just always on the bruins like he was always the bruins captain ortiz the same brady the same paul pierce the same belichick being gone will be the the end of truly the the last end of an era and i just don't want it to happen this would this would really uh complete like the big three for dc sports stealing washed up former boston athletes and coaches because we got chara for like a season we rented him we got paul pierce at the end of his career and belichick is there a chance it happens tomorrow according to the you know these fan fiction rumors boston globe it is the bye week what do they say in the globe you report you told me oh last week is there anything new i i don't know um okay so terrible yes there's a chance i actually i i didn't even i watched the last like five minutes of the game because i was like i made the calculation in my head i'm gonna follow this on gamecast see it goes, spend some time with my kids, and I've never been happier that I made that decision because that was one of those games.
If I have on, it's a tough explanation for why that game is on at 8.30 in the morning. Yeah, I just kept live betting.
I live bet the Patriots like three times. I was so mad.
Oh, no. I was so mad.
And they almost won it. They won.
An all-time shot. I'm not even really a ricochet shot, but memes put up a picture of Adam Gase.
It says Bill Belichick with Hall of Fame QB. Now, you might remember Adam Gase from coaching the Jets really poorly, but memes chose to use a version of him where he's the Dolphins coach, where he actually wasn't that bad.
He went to the playoffs. He went to the playoffs.
Yeah. Yeah.
I think he was seven and nine his worst season there he uh meme said that was the first picture he could find yeah i believe it a man who lives on the internet couldn't find past picture number one when he searched adam gase but yeah i mean hank congrats on all your success in the past you've had like an incredible run as a sports town also if you search right now adam now Adam Gase images. Celtics.
Yeah, I mean, you have. There's no question that Boston has been title town for the last 20 years.
And if the Celtics stay healthy, it's going to happen again. Is that a guarantee? Yeah.
Oh, okay. If their starting lineup is in the playoffs.
Their starting lineup. That's a guarantee.
Porzingis, Drew Holiday, Jason Tatum. Tyrese Maxey dropped a 50-burger today.
Who cares? I'd also like to reverse my stance on Tyrese Maxey. You're not trying to make fetch happen.
Tyrese Maxey is very, very good. Yes.
Memes is making a sax sound right now. I just looked up Adam Gase on the internet and he clicked images, and the first six images are all Jets, Adam Gase.
So Memes is a liar. Nice try.
What about mobile? Mobile? We didn't check mobile. Okay, let me look at mobile.
Adam Gase, mobile. Either way, the Colts deserve a lot of credit.
Shane Steichen, like if you went in this season and you said the Colts already not a great roster, if you're going to lose Anthony Richardson, you're going to be 5-5 heading into your bye week. That's incredible.
Yeah, and also this was the first time in four years that Gardner Minshew won back-to-back games. Yeah.
So credit to Gardner. It's hot.
Make his place. You know what? Watching him today, he made me want to buy an El Camino again.
Yeah. I think I might.
If the Colts have a winning record, I will buy an El Camino. You might have to do it.
I just checked mobile, and yes, again, it was all Jets. So, memes is a liar.
Nope. It was the Dolphins.
I got out of the shower, pressed send, hopped in my car. You were nude? Wait, wait.
Were you naked when you sent that tweet? Well, the game ended once I got out of the shower.

Yeah?

Yeah, so I guess it was.

Yeah.

Yeah.

I also was going to go take a walk.

I was like, fuck this game.

I'm going to take a walk.

It's over.

And then I put on clothes and saw the Bailey Zappi thing.

I was like, I got to watch this out.

You got to watch Bailey Zappi do a fake spike.

So I didn't even get any fresh. Mac Jones getting yelled at.

That was the.

There was so much anger behind Bill O'brien's like face his voice i couldn't hear his voice but you could feel it yeah like the frustration with mac jones as a human being like i think he hates him as a human being i think it's that level there's a lot of there's a lot of even the you know the the bell check although those those are videos from the summer or whatever, but it just feels like the coaching staff is on some, like, fuck it. We're on the way out.
Who cares? Yeah. Like, let them hear it.
Yeah. I'm not going to, we're not coaching them for the season.
Like, I just hate you. We're not building anything.
Oh yeah. Yeah.
It's, it's, none of this is going to be here next year. So Hank, you kind of dodged the question though.
And I understand like, yeah, losing your, your heroes that are no longer around that. That's tough.
I tough i feel for you on that one but the question was have you thought about who you'd want next as a head coach no you haven't given that any thought zero vrabel john fox would love variable yeah i mean they brought him back they brought him back to mark trussman no okay sean thought about it sean mcveigh jules would be cool Jules okay head coach why not why not Jeff Saturday Randy Moss yeah Steve Belichick Steve Belichick Abel Adam Vinatieri Vince Wilfork yeah yeah winners a lot of names a lotot way. Okay.
Next game. Now we're into some good games.
There were some great games today. We're starting to get like some of these games are going to have big time playoff implications when we get to it later in the season.
But Texans 30 Bengals 27 CJ Stroud. Unbelievable.
Now he had a terrible pick at the end of the game that let the Bengals get back in the game, but the way he was throwing the ball all day, the way he drove him down the field for the game-winning field goal, if the playoffs started today, the Houston Texans would be the seventh seed. Yeah.
And the Bengals and Bills would be outside looking in. And I think we can say now there's enough evidence.
The Texans are just good. Yeah, it's good.
CJ Stroud is elite. He's a great quarterback.
He's the lead leaguer in yards per game and total yards. And also people forget his name.
CJ. We don't know what the J stands for.
It's Coleridge Bernard Stroud the fourth. There's no J.
Oh, it's like Homer J. Simpson.
Yeah, he's no J. Simpson.
Yeah. He's Coleridge, Bernard, Stroud, the fourth.
The way he looks in the pocket, he's so comfortable. And we were talking about it with the commanders.
The feeling of watching a quarterback throw it downfield and be like, good things are about to happen. That's every time C.J.
Stroud throws it downfield. You're like, he's got a plan.
He's going to hit someone. it'sfield and be like good things are about to happen that's every time cj stroud throws it downfield you're like he's got a plan he's going to hit someone it's going to be a big gain like that's the best feeling in the world he just plays with such confidence it's crazy for a rookie to be playing like that and the ball looks so good coming out of the ball looks good i want to get i want to get the pitch tracker on there see what the rpms are because he feels like he has the fastest spiral and he has like he's been doing um where he's not even stepping and throwing yeah he's just throwing flat-footed

and and just throwing like absolute dimes down the field so it was it was the perfect like ending

for the texans because you had cj stroud make a mistake that he shouldn't have made in that last

interception when he's trying to throw it to tank dell it'd be like oh no here it comes rookie

bengals joe burrow they win these games and then he was able to take him down the field and

And in that last interception when he was trying to throw it to Tank Dell. He'd be like, oh, no, here it comes.
Rookie Bengals, Joe Burrow, they win these games, and then he was able to take them down the field. And for the Bengals, this is a pretty big loss because this is why you don't start slow.
You can't really – They don't really have any room for error. Right.
The Bengals started slow last year. Then they won, what, like 12 games in a row? So it erased it.
Losing a game to the Texans at home when you were basically a Tyler Boyd drop away from winning this game has to hurt a lot. And Joe Burrow, like the first drive, it was awesome.
And then for the middle quarters, this is what's happened with the Bengals. The two things that make me nervous about the Bengals, because I still obviously think they're a very good team, their defense defense got gashed today and their defense has been not as elite as it has been in the in you know the the Super Bowl run or when they went to the Super Bowl their secondary has some problems and then their offense goes into like weird tank mode for stretches where it's like they'll either get a awesome drive where everything looks perfect or it will be a flurry of three and outs in a row, and you're like, what's going on here? Yeah, and they have zero margin for error.
They're going to the Ravens, Steelers at the Jaguars, Colts, Vikings at the Steelers, at the Chiefs, and the Browns. So I don't know what the sabermetrics on that are.
I imagine that's probably the most difficult schedule from here to the end of the season that the Bengals have to go through. It's not easy.
So they gave themselves like no room for error. They needed this one.
They needed this one big time. I think they'll still figure it out because they do have the talent and their defense usually is good enough to keep them in any game.
And I don't think there's anything wrong with Joe. I don't think there's anything like super wrong with the offense.
They're just too streaky right now. But they're, they put themselves in bad shape.
It's their defense can't just, so they can't solely win games with their defense. Like today, CJ Stroud had, they had 544 total yards on the Bengals defense.
Like they gashed the Bengals defense. And credit to D'Amico Ryans.
D'Amico Ryans now has the highest winning percentage and the fourth most wins all time in Texans history. Whoa.
With five. That's crazy.
I'm going to say that again. The fourth most wins all time in Texans history with five wins.
That's huge. And Dom Capers is only 13 away, even though he coached there for like years.
Also, Stroud Boys shirts are live. Yes.
In the Barstool store. Check them out.
And we should make another shirt too for CJ Stroud because now that he has proven that he is the real deal, people are saying maybe MVP race, his quote, I'm not a test taker, I play football, is an all-time quote. Because that's one of those quotes that if you aren't good, that will backfire in your face so poorly.
Like, it will just be like, everyone will tweet it at you, I'm not a test taker, I play football. Well, you don't play football well.
Now that quote looks awesome because it's kind of the Cardell Jones. I was going to say it's an upgraded version.
The Cardell was like JV version of. I'm not here to play school.
I didn't come here to play school. Yeah.
Also, I was doing some research on Bobby Sloak because I'm starting to look into coaches for next year, next season, potentially on the commanders. is going to get a bunch of interviews I think this offseason because he's a great offensive coordinator and I just want him on the commander so that they can't use him as ammo to be like here's another former coach that's now really good somewhere um he went to Michigan Tech which I didn't realize was a school yes hockey school hockey school up like as far north in Michigan as you can get.
He's a good offensive coordinator. He's become a lot better because C.J.
Stroud was like, let me throw the ball. Because he started the season with a lot of every single drive we're running on first down no matter what.
And now C.J. Stroud.
So I'd like to see a little more out of him just because I feel like C.J. Stroud almost forced his hand being like, yo, dude, I'm really good.
Let me throw the ball. But the bar is so low.
They have so many weapons. The bar is so low that if you just have an offensive coordinator that has the presence of mind to be like, I've got a really good young quarterback.
Let's work with his strengths and let's change our offense to suit what's going on with him. My point is it was C.J.
Stroud actually kind of said it to him. Good.
He said it in a press conference. He's like, dude, let me throw.
But a lot of guys wouldn't listen. Yeah, that's true.
And at least he listened. Yeah, they have so many guys.
I mean, Noah Brown has been incredible. Noah Brown's got back-to-back 150-plus yard games.
Tank Dell's awesome. I respect.
They're running the ball. I respect Noah Brown because he's got so much confidence in himself.
Yeah. He was a college guy that didn't really play well in college.
And after two seasons, he was like, you know what?

Fuck it. I'm just going to go to the draft.

He was on the Cowboys, right?

Yeah.

He was, I think, a seventh round pick.

And he was projected to be like a seventh round pick.

He was like, fuck this.

I don't want to stay at school anymore.

I want to go to the NFL.

I think Ezekiel Elliott campaigned for the Cowboys to draft him.

Should have should have kept him.

Yeah.

Yeah.

I think I think the Texans might go to the playoffs. Oh, Zach Wilson just fumbled.
What happened there, memes? I hope we get no touchdowns. Yeah, we might have no touchdowns.
9-9. I think the Texans might go to the playoffs.
I think they might, too. We looked at their schedule.
Their schedule is – Four weeks ago. I counted it.
Ten wins is very doable because they have games against the Cardinals, Broncos, Titans, twice, Colts, Jets. Those are winnable games.
They already beat the Jags. They could beat the Jags again.
How did they lose to the Panthers? I don't know. That one was a mystery.
Yeah, that one is a mystery. Frank Reich is undefeated after the bye.
Doesn't lose off a bye. All right, makes sense.
Yeah, that makes perfect sense. Frank Reich after a bye.
Sometimes football's that easy. Death taxes Frank Reich after a bye week.
Why were you, memes, Zach Wilson just dropped back on his own 10-yard line and threw the ball 50 yards, and memes put his hands up like it was going to be a completion. It's the opposite of what we're saying with C.J.
Stroud. When Zach Wilson throws the ball downfield, only bad things can happen.
Maybe an interception there would have been good. Yeah, a little arm punt for you.
I mean, it looked good. That is the best moment you can reach, though, as a fan.
When your quarterback changes, when he crosses over into being like, oh shit, he's passing the ball, that sucks, what's going to happen? Into, yes, he's passing the ball. This rocks.
Yeah. This is going to be a completion.
Who's open streaking down the field right now? It's sucking. In perfect stride.
Yeah. All right.
Next up, other big game from Sunday. The Browns, 33.
The Ravens, 31. This was a crazy, crazy game because if you watch the first half, you thought the Ravens were going to win by a billion.
You thought it was going to be a Seahawks game, a Lions game, that the Ravens have just been killing opponents at home. The game started like 10 seconds in, pick six from Deshaun Watson, and they couldn't have looked worse.
And then the second half started, and I think I might have to say it, Deshaun Watson has officially arrived as a Cleveland Brown because he was, to start the game, he was 6 for 20 for 79 yards. In the second half, he was 14 for 14 for 134 yards and a touchdown and drove him down the field for the game-winning field goal.
As much as the Ravens blew this game, the Browns just hung in there and didn't quit and that was maybe the biggest browns win they've had maybe since they beat the steelers in the playoffs a long ass time long ass time very long time for them uh yeah to sean i think he started one for nine he was so bad an interception with a pick six yeah with a pick six it was about as bad as you could get and uh keaton mitchell had three carries yards, 11 yards per carry. But that's okay because Gus Edwards had a big day.
He had 11 carries for 24 yards. And Harbaugh, maybe Harbaugh just doesn't want another good player to get injured.
So that's why they stopped running him in the second half. Brown's defense is good.
I think he got, yeah, but I mean, he could get more than one carry in the second half. They played with a lead for, I think, all but 40 seconds of the game.
Yeah. Like, it's crazy that Harbaugh didn't go back to him.
We also should have the conversation, is Justin Tucker washed? Oof. He got a kick blocked.
It was like a 50-plus yarder. He's now one for five from 50-plus yards this year.
Uh-oh. Uh-oh.
Happens. For the record every team shouldn't watch us and tucker uh-oh

it's probably not washed i also there was one play like again if you watch this game you know the browns were basically dead in the water like it felt like they had no chance they didn't show up to play and they were down 14 points the second half that david njoku run after the catch where he just started just like bullying

Ravens defenders. Yeah.

That was the turning point they were like oh yeah we can play with these guys did you see his instagram post no njoku he put up a post after the game the last slide of it was stavi oh stavi crying love it crying about being a ravens no that's not stavi that'svy. Oh, Ronnie.
It was Ronnie from Dundalk.

So funny.

That was crazy though. The Browns,

these are games the Browns do not win.

And they came and they won it because

these are the games that Browns sleepwalk,

get killed, everyone says

what's wrong with the Browns? Oh,

there are the Browns. And then

they win this game and not only

do they win it, but Deshaun Watson looks right

for the first time in like three

years in that second half.

So, There are the Browns. And then they win this game.
And not only do they win it, but Deshaun Watson looks right for the first time in like three years in that second half. The Browns, like if you're a Browns fan, this has to be one of the best wins you've ever had.
Yeah, you're very happy about it. And you're right.
This is the first time that they've won a game that they've been down 14 or more points in since 2018. They just didn't blink.
They just kept on playing the the pick six like sometimes you got to get those fluky bounces where it just dropped right into greg newsom's hand that was a crazy crazy pick six crazy he was off the screen until the ball landed then all of a sudden he's got the ball in his hand and it was it was great because it was like the it was basically the same old ravens and the fact that they should have won this game by a lot and they couldn't put them away. And then it was the opposite of the same old Browns in that everything we've expected from the Browns, they were able to just throw out and say, no, no, we're going to win this game.
Yeah. Oh, oh, oh, and a fumble.
Memes, what are you doing with tackling? You look like USC. Memes, this game is lost.
The Raiders are going to win this game. It's tank time.
That's tough. Or Aaron Rodgers.
The Browns were down. Not only were they down 14 points, they were down 31 to 17, which is the biggest 14-point deficit that you can have when you look at it.
You're like, that's at least 21 points. That's when David Njoku said, I'm going to fucking take this game over.
I could feel it, too. We were watching the game, and I had the Ravens.
I was like, this game is not over because it feels like the Browns are still playing very hard, and they're coming after the Ravens. And yeah, I don't know.
The Ravens, they're really, really good still, but it's the same shit that always happens with them where they can't put teams away. I'm also going to declare a winner of the bye week, and that's the Chiefs yeah chiefs won this bye week because the the jaguars lost yep and the browns lost no the ravens lost to the browns and i'm just going to toss the bangles in there too the bangles also lost yeah congratulations to the chiefs yeah the chiefs keep winning and travis kelsey oh my god did you see him and taylor oh that was almost a boy of the chiefs i saw it with you i saw a big cat but i can't even yeah it was i was crying i couldn't even i was crying when i saw taylor swift um kiss her boyfriend it was everything because i've never seen a boyfriend and girlfriend kiss before it was it was everything i've ever wanted in my life and i was crying it was like max and his friend that's how that's how deeply in love it was oh my god i can't even my heart is fluttering just talking about two consensual adults kissing it was so good to see that on film though yeah well you know i liked it on film yeah uh okay that was a lot it was a lot seeing all the tweets about everything yeah it was a lot.
It was a lot. They kissed each other.
They kissed. They are dating.
Yeah. Well, she said karma's the guy on the Chiefs.
Yeah. Oh, but Hank, you don't even know.
Did you see her backup dancers when she said that? Oh, my God. I couldn't even.
Yeah. What's his name? Watch it.
You won't even. Did the dance that they do? Who's what's his name? The backup dancer.
Everyone knows his name. All the Swifties know.
Yeah, Phil. Yeah.
his name the backup dancer everyone knows his name all the swifties know yeah phil yeah phil the backup dancer all swift you guys are haters that was cool clip what that was cool i liked it what clip the haters haters are uh karma is the guy on the chief no no we're not talking about we don't care about that clip we're talking about her kissing her boyfriend yeah she was excited i can't even believe this. No, but it was the run up.
It was nice. It was nice to see.
Oh, wow. Sorry, I love love.
You know what this is? Max, you're in the doghouse? What? What are you talking about? You sound like a guy talking to the doghouse right now. That's just not true.
Yeah, you are. What are you? That is just not true.
Max is in the doghouse. I'm trying to figure out your angle.
Yeah, he's in the doghouse. I'm not.
I just like Taylor Swift. You catch him for not saying anything the first time? You are speaking like a man who has been living in the doghouse.
No, I am not in the doghouse. Why did you speak up when PFT and Big Cat were being perverts? Wrong.
You know that I love Taylor Swift. Wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong.
Why did you say something? Those guys are disgusting. Wrong, wrong, wrong.
Do we know who took that video? Because it seemed like they were ready for it. It seemed like they had the perfect angle.
I think it was staged, personally. I think it was all a big setup.
Pfizer probably did it. It was actually Dr.
Fauci that was staying there holding the camera. Everyone please tweet at Max tomorrow and just tell him, hey, stay strong, dude.
This is bullshit. We've all been in the doghouse.
This is just not true. I mean, the funniest, like,

we all say shit that we don't want to say when we're in the doghouse, Max.

I get it.

Kelly Keegs, our colleague,

like, love Kelly Keegs.

I love Kelly.

She live tweets.

She, like, finds streams of these concerts

and live tweets the concerts

and is like, oh, my God,

she's playing a song.

And they're going to propose?

Oh, my God, she's playing another song.

I think she said that.

And she's like, oh, my.

And she said, Taylor, now. She's doing a concert concert now and kelly and i have talked about this before uh because her fandom is no different than our fandom because we sit and we watch monday night football we live tweeted like they're running wildcat oh shit they didn't pass like we are the same people we just have different likes so i never i will always encourage encourage Kelly to be herself in that respect because that's what we do.
But the kissing one, they kissed. Max, it was everything.
I thought it was cute. Oh, my God.
He's so easy. I'm not.
I'm not. He's deep in the doghouse.
This is just a false narrative. This is bad.
Max is in trouble. Not true.
Not true. Not in trouble.
Not in trouble. I didn't repost it.
Why not? Did you sleep in your girlfriend's roommate's bed again? No. Touchdown Raiders.
Jets fucking suck. You sound like Chewbacca there, memes.
The Jets are bad. I can't do it.
I used to be able to do that. Yeah, I bet on the Jets tonight.
I'm a fucking moron. Okay, next game, Niners-Jaguars.
The Niners are back. Niners 34, Jaguars 3.
The Niners, turns out, for all the hand-wringing about the Niners three-game losing streak when they get Devo Samuel, Trent Williams, and a healthy Christian McCaffrey back, they are really fucking good. They looked a lot better.
They looked a lot better. Even the threat of Trent Williams being out in space, there was one touchdown that they had.
I think it was on Devo's touchdown. Trent was just pulling out to the left side, running like 25 yards down the field, looking terrifying like he always does.
Yeah. And the cornerback just starts taking the wrong angle and running away from Trent Williams.
Trent never, I don't think he maybe touched his arm briefly, didn't really throw a block, but just his presence. He's like a gravitational force that makes people sprint away from you.
Yes. And it makes the entire offense so much better when he's playing.
So yeah, the 49ers are without a doubt back. good too yeah they were flying around chase young and nick bosa combined off the edge they're going to be a force to be wrecked you could tell that they they had like a come to jesus moment with their defensive unit being like hey guys what the fuck are we doing we have so much talent why are we not playing better um chris mccaffrey he he i i thought he was more injured than he was letting on because everyone we we do it as fans where we're like oh it's just an oblique i guarantee if any of us had an oblique injury we'd probably not podcast for like a month uh so he is actually a perfect sign of like sometimes it's actually good to sit out so that people realize like oh we miss you so much instead of playing injured and not as well because today i think he averaged 5.9 yards per carry like he had that burst back to him yeah here's what we do if you're injured we're like oh this guy's a bum yeah oh he's not tough enough to play through it yeah you say oh this guy's a bum and then they're like well he's injured and then we say we'll stop making excuses for him he's healthy enough to play sometimes you aren't healthy enough enough to play.
Yeah, but you're just a tough motherfucker like Christian McCaffrey. It was funny, too, the Niners trying to get him a touchdown at the end.
Oh, they went to him on all four downs. They were up 34-3, and they were inside the 10-yard line, and Brock Purdy was throwing passes.
Yeah. It was awesome.
So I think he was going to do the chicken dance to try to get everybody a chicken sandwich at shake shack if you had scored america missed out on chicken it sucks everyone that scored touchdown today that didn't do the dance is a selfish prick give the people free chicken yeah it's that simple just like give us free chicken like i i almost said that i was going to match and then i realized that would put me a lot like a lot don't do so if they have to. If a player takes their pants off after scoring a touchdown and takes a shit in the end zone,

I will pay for George Pickens bail to get out of jail for doing that.

Oh, wow.

How about that?

That's huge.

I think he's probably the only one that would take me up on that.

And some cheesesteaks.

And some cheesesteaks.

Yeah, and free cheesesteaks.

Some free cheesesteaks.

We should do a cheesesteaks giveaway.

I don't know if we have that.

No, but we should just make a player do something crazy like that.

Thank you. Free cheesesteaks.
We should do a cheesesteaks giveaway. I don't know if we have that.

No, but we should just make a player do something crazy like that. If Kittle scores a touchdown.

And then he pulls up his shirt and it says,

please subscribe to Pardon My Take.

They're my best friends in the whole world.

Well, he also might get fined for that because I don't think you can show words.

We'll pay for that.

Pay for his fine.

And then we'll give.

Free Pardon My Cheesesteaks for everyone who buys fifty dollars worth of pardon my cheese steaks yeah yeah that sounds like a good deal okay balls in your court kid i 10 get one free yeah like a yeah that's perfect um did you see that the jaguars they have a party button that they press at the start of every fourth quarter. Oh, no.
And this was a very sad party. But you saw the video.
Very funny.

It was it was pretty bad. They got the hype guys

down on the field, like amping people up a giant

button that they hit. You got to know when not

to press the party button. You got to put the party button

away. Well, I think it was an ad.

And so I think it's like you got to do the

party button in the first first quarter. Yeah.

You do the party button right with like the

kickoff because the whole stadium started booing. Yeah.
Yeah. They should party button.
You should boo the party button in the first quarter. Yeah.
You had to do the party button right with the kickoff. Because the whole stadium started booing.
Yeah. Yeah.
They booed the party button. You should boo the party button.
The Jaguars. Max would be so bad at pushing that button.
Yeah, he would. I was waiting for that joke.
Oh. Jaguars.
Are they frauds? I think we have to have the conversation. I think they might be.
Because the only good team that they've beaten is the Bills, and we don't know if the Bills are even that good. And it was in England.
When they got to stay for the second week. When they stayed for the second week.
So we don't know if the Jaguars are good or not. I mean, Trevor Lawrence hasn't been that great this year.
No, he had three turnovers, say two picks and a fumble. He's been good.
Don't get me wrong. Trevor Lawrence, I think, is a fine young man.
he's a better better human being than he is a football player at this at this moment yeah i would love to change my tune on trevor yeah i think the jaguars might be frauds and i don't know i don't think we'll get much pushback because i i think jaguars fans are a little different than their uh you know state brothers down south and in in miami i think jaguars fans kind of know they feel like a fan base that is always waiting for the other shoe to drop. Yeah.
And they kind of were dreading this game. Like, man, if we don't look good.
Because they scored nine points against the Chiefs. They scored three points against the Niners.
Those are two teams that are very likely going to be in the Super Bowl. And you weren't really competitive against either.
So, yeah, I think they might be in the fraud tier. So, the reason why Prisco had them in the Super Bowl is because of the schedule.
What do you say? Like it's a schedule dummy. Yeah, he had them in the Super Bowl but not winning the Super Bowl.
Yeah, because their schedule was so easy. I don't know how.
Oh, because they get the bye because their schedule was so easy. Right.
That way their playoff schedule would be easy. Would also be easy.
But that's not necessarily true because you still have to play good team. And they lose the tiebreaker the chiefs and they're also have three losses and chiefs only have two so the good news if you're a jaguars fan you have one two three four five games in which i think you'll be favored for the rest of the season okay um schedule gets back to being nice yeah so schedule be good i think this was a uh as a loss anyways, right? Yes.
When he looked at the schedule. So just get back on track against the Titans.
You'll be fine. Yeah.
Also, Brock Purdy looked good again. He looked really good.
Yeah. He's fine.
He's going to be fine. It's...
I think we're at a safe place with Brock Purdy in the fact that if he has all his weapons, Trent Williams and Debo Samuel being very important weapons, he will look like a very good quarterback. And you're right.
Trent Williams is a weapon. Yeah.
Like at offensive line, he's without. He doesn't have to worry about the entire left side.
Like he just knows that he's going to be fine. So there's one thing that concerns me about the Niners.
One thing. I just want to put this in the file to pay attention to.
Most people probably started at it in the Browns game their kicker isn't very good no Moody's not very good and he makes good in college he makes a lot crazy part he makes a lot of field goals that barely go in yeah like in a lot of extra points that just barely sneak in he's not very accurate and he might he might end up being a good kicker that's what's so weird is like the kicker position is one where if you're not great right off the bat, then you probably won't have any career whatsoever. You don't really have time to grow into it.
But he so far has not looked. I would be very worried about the Niners playing in a close game and trusting him as the kicker.
Yeah, I would as well. So he was like a fifth-round pick, wasn't he? I don't know.
He was a draft. They took him in the draft somewhere.
So they're probably unlikely. No, he was.
I think he might have even been. Was he a third rounder? Third rounder.
Yeah. They took him in the draft.
You don't want to admit that you fucked up a draft pick and move on. But they did that with Trey Lance.
If I was John Lynch, I would probably get a new kicker. That's all I'm going to say.
Yeah. I remember him atigan being very good uh so i think he hit some very big kicks too that that game against illinois last year uh in the sandwich spot so yeah i don't know what's going on with him who is the kicker um from florida state aguayo yeah one that his brother tore the turtle in half yeah that was so fucked that was pretty fucked up yeah really fucked up yeah fr, really fucked up.
Yeah. Frat boys just hanging out.
Just guys being dudes. Turtles in half.
That's the one. I've never heard Billy get more angry at a player than when he found out that this dude abused a reptile.
Tore a turtle in half. Yeah.
That's bad. That's bad.
Okay. Before we get to the next games, quick word from our sponsors.

Uh, all right. Next up the Josh Dobbs experience.
Vikings 27 saints, 19. We've been spending all this time trying to figure out who's going to be the seventh seed in the NFC.
And guess what? It was right in front of us all this time. The Vikings are on a five-game winning streak, the longest streak in the NFL right now.
And they're the seventh team since the merger to start one and four and win the next five. And all six of those other teams have made the playoffs.
So the Vikings, they're good. Like, they're just a good team.
They figured out their defense, and they've done this all without Justin Jefferson. It's crazy.
Interesting. So they're 5-0 without Justin Jefferson.
They have done it all without Justin Jefferson. Josh Dobbs, like, listen, the Josh Dobbs experience might fall off at some point because we've known it in the past, but it is fun when it's going.
We do fall in love with quarterbacks like this so easily. In fact, this is the second time this year we've fallen in love with Josh Dobbs.
Yeah, it's fun when it's good. We fell in love with Josh Dobbs.
We fell out of love with him when he was on the Cardinals. We're like, okay, well, the Josh Dobbs thing was fun, but let's move on.
Now we're back in on Josh Dobbs in a huge way. Yes.
Because he actually has a good team around him. And he seems like the best guy ever.
Impossible to root against. Yes.
And I was looking at it. The Vikings schedule.
So they're 6-4. Start at 1-4.
Crazy. They could win 10 or 11 games.
I could see it. They play the Broncos, the Bears, the Raiders.
They didn't have to play the Bengals, and they finished

the season with the Lions twice and the Packers.

They split the Lions games.

Like, they should be able to beat the Broncos, Bears, and Raiders, right?

And they beat the Packers.

That's five wins, six wins.

That's 10 or 11 win team.

Yeah, I could see it.

It's crazy.

They're good.

Josh Dobbs at least learned the name of one of his receivers, TJ Hawkinson. Yes.
He loves TJ. Who broke his back at one point in this game.
Yeah, he's a beast. And so he had 11 catches today.
He also hooked up with Jordan Addison a few times. He spreads the ball around.
He's just a good quarterback. You cannot tell me that Josh Dobbs is not a starting caliber quarterback in the NFL right now.
And the one thing with Josh Josh jobs is he can obviously use his feet. He had a couple of awesome runs today that look like video game runs, but he always keeps his, his eyes downfield when he's running and when he's like moving around in the pocket.
So yeah, Josh jobs is fun. And then on the other side, we got to see Jameis and Jameis gave us all of Jameis.
He had two touchdowns, two interceptions, threw a couple Jameis passes. That one touchdown, he made one incredible pass to Chris Olavi, who made it equally as incredible catch.
And then he made a touchdown pass where he threw it all the way across the field that no one in the world would make that pass except for Jameis Winston, and it worked. And like this is awesome we get to see Jameis he then threw a couple picks but the only thing that will save me from being so fucking sick of the Saints shit because I am I'm sick of the Saints I'm I they're a bummer to watch because it's like they have enough guys on the team that you think they're going to be okay and then they come out and they just play like shit jamis winston's the only thing that can save them yeah that that 10 minute span that you're talking about jamis threw a pass that only jamis winston would ever even attempt and it worked out and it was awesome yeah then about eight minutes later he threw a pass that only jamis winston would ever even attempt and it got picked off yeah and that's why we love watching it's the best and i i will settle for having like a full-on tasem hill game where he gets like 11 carries he gets thrown the ball like three times he gets to throw he uh like passes for a touchdown and he takes like i don't know 10 snaps under center 11 snaps under center um i'll settle for one of those i think the common denominator is just that derrick carr is a bummer to watch play football he really is he's just he looks sad it might be the eyeliner he looks too goth to play football but something about watching derrick carr starting a game for a team that's on television just makes you ignore that game for most of i i feel like derrick carr is just firmly in that camp of if you're a teammate of derrick carr you love him to death because he does seem like a great, great dude.
But when you watch him, you're like, can we just stop? Can we just do something, anything else besides watching Derek Carr play football right now? You know what I think it is? He reminds me a lot of, he has late stage Drew Brees. Yes.
Where the last season and a half of watching Drew Brees, that's what Derek Carr looks like every game that he starts. And it's a bummer.
It's a bummer but when you get james in there it's a shot in the arm he is he is football cocaine yeah he's it was awesome to watch the lows it's all good um in terms of my pinky i think i was at like a one when well i was at a zero when the vikings were one and four then they won a couple games and kirk cousins got hurt and i maybe i i went to to a 2 when they won a couple games. Kirk Cousins gets hurt.
I go back down to a 1. With Josh Dobbs and the fact they've won 5 straight in a row, I think I have to admit that I'm at a 4 at least.
Kirk's done for the year no matter what, right? Yes. He's not going to go to Tijuana and get stem cell like Aaron Rodgers did.
Oh, yeah. Old ball.irk's very much against stem cell yeah um i wait memes you get the ball fuck you no you did not get the ball uh i am at a four and a half i had completely forgotten that they were your pinky team yeah that's how little the vikings being a threat really played into my mind until until recently now they're there's shades of uh the the original pinky team, the Texans, when I picked the Texans and they won like 10 in a row and still lost in the playoffs.
But I don't think – I'm pretty confident the Vikings aren't going to win the Super Bowl, but I'm also equally as confident the Vikings will be in the playoffs. Yeah.
Which is scary. I wonder if we're going to get more people from Minnesota shaving their eyebrows off.
That would be cool. That seemed like it was the start of something good.
Yeah. Do it for Josh Dobbs.
He's fun. He's very fun.
At least Josh Dobbs has gotten himself an awesome backup quarterback contract. Yes.
Like, for a long time. Yeah.
It's amazing that he bounced around as much as he did. Like, no team saw this guy and was like, let's just make him our backup.
Yeah. We can just keep him.
Yeah. Okay keep him yeah um okay next up memes you're in the torture chamber you're losing this game you know that yep i mean say it we're losing this game okay but home to a field goal okay so you're not you're not fully there yet uh steelers 23 packers 19 the pittsburgh steelers have done it again.
They got out gained yet again.

They are six and three and they've been out gained by their opponent in every single game they've played this year.

And they're the first team to do that and have a winning record since 1940.

I there they are the breaking bad like they can't keep getting away with this.

I love watching it.

I it's fun to watch because

they find new ways

to look bad and still win games

and it's just

crazy. I hope it happens every single

game of the season. Yeah.
I hope they do it all

the way to the Super Bowl. Exactly.
That'd be great, wouldn't it?

If they got outgained in the Super Bowl, still won.

People would be so mad. We talked a lot

of shit about the Steelers a couple years

ago during COVID year. Jets ball.
Jets ball. Now you need Zach Wilson to do something.
Where they were the worst 11-0 team of all time. Remember that? Yes.
Yeah, and we made fun of them. This Steelers team I'm actually rooting for.
I hope this continues to happen. And my question to you, Big Cat, is this an indictment of Mike Tomlin that he keeps getting outgained in every game? Or is it a credit to Mike Tomlin that in spite of getting outgained in every single game, he figures out weird ways to win? Mike Tomlin is an incredible coach.
Everything that I've seen from, and we've had this discussion before, but finding out how crazy Big Ben, Le'Veon Bell, and Antonioio brown all were the fact that mike tomlin kept that team together i i he gets all the credit in the world for me and yeah i i think he's an incredible coach and you brought up the 11-0 team because i know people get upset when we we put the fraud tag on like the dolphins or the jaguars the steelers can't get the fraud tag because i don't think anyone thinks they're that good. They just win game.
They're not fraudulent. They are who they are.
Yeah, right. They're not a very good team, but they have a very good record.
Yeah, they have a point differential. And again, bear in mind, they are 6-3 right now.
Yeah, 6-3. They're 6-3.
They have a point differential of negative 26 it's crazy so um well last year with the giants did we call them frauds or did we just say like no because i never thought it was a viking so viking because to be frauds you have to be talked about like you're gonna be a super bowl contending team like no one thought the giants last it was the vikings i mean yeah the vikings were because they were they had won all those games by one score and they had a crazy record they won the NFC North like the Steelers they're not good but their their record is good yeah nobody I don't know what else to say I don't think anybody even Steelers fans look at this Steelers in fact like a lot of Steelers fans are like I can't fucking stand Mike Tomlinlin. It's like more of this shit and we still, they're mad because they

keep winning, so Mike Tomlin is definitely

not going to get fired. Well, he wouldn't get fired anyway

because it's Pittsburgh. It's Pittsburgh.

But to Tomlin's credit,

he is 27-7-1

in one score games. So that's

a big enough sample to see that

maybe Mike Tomlin is doing some small things

right. You know what he did this week?

New wrinkle for Mike Tomlin this week. He

paid local refs to come out

in referee uniforms because they'd gotten

Thank you. Maybe Mike Tomlin is doing some small things right.
You know what he did this week? New wrinkle for Mike Tomlin this week. He paid local refs to come out in referee uniforms because they'd gotten fucked by the refs so many times to actually officiate their practices.
This is like doing a basketball game with the police? Exactly. Yeah.
He was like, okay, well, we're going to have him close. We're going to figure out how refs operate, what we can and can't get away with.
I love it. Smart guy.
guy and and in a weird perverse way the steelers are fun to watch because you know exactly what you're going to get when you watch the steelers game you're going to get a lot of frustrating offensive drives you're going to get tj watt being a monster their defense making a couple big plays and like i think while we were watching this when the packers were up going into the fourth quarter or it was maybe late third i was like the steelers have them right where they want them again this is exactly where the steelers want to be they want to be down less than a touchdown and be like all we need is one drive and then we just play defense and that's exactly what they did and i yeah they're they're weirdly fun to watch and they ran the ball today which is more an indictment on the packers atrocious run d that they thought they figured out for two games uh but yeah they uh jalen warren and naji harris had 183 yards on 31 carries and naji didn't look bad no he he does look bad when they give jalen warren a carry like right after naji harris carry yes where you watch that and you say well that guy's way faster yeah why are they playing this he looks so much more explosive jill and warren did that spin move to no one yeah it worked yeah it was great um so i will say for packers fans you're probably upset about the lateral that wasn't called and i would agree with you on that i i need somebody who's much smarter than me to explain why that pass from uh from kenny pickett wasn't ruled a uh a lateral that was scooped up by the packers and then returned for a touchdown because it very obvious i think it went backwards yeah at the very very least it went side to side then they reviewed it and then what's the simp that that ref simp that they bring out there that narc blandino uh no i don't think it was blandino at least has some balls, and we'll call them out. Oh, yeah.
I know who you're talking about. Terry McAuliffe? Yeah.
Terry McAuliffe? Yeah. Terry McAuliffe has the balls to get on TV and say, you didn't see what you just saw.
Yeah. It was right on 1984.
He was like, that was a wrong. Clearly forward pass.
I hate when they do that. Unless I'm insane, that was very obviously a lateral that should have been allowed to be picked up by the packers yeah parallax effect parallax parallax call hank uh yeah the parallax effect again uh it's that a line from above might not actually be accurate or something yeah yeah it's pretty good with the angles yeah um the packers jordan love actually looked he made some nice plays downfield in the first half he also threw two interceptions to end the game again i think that this guy is the guy and you have to keep you have to give him an extension you have to he showed you enough with those he did throw a dime touchdown pass to uh i think it was reed i can't remember but yeah you got to give him you gotta you got to keep going forward with him yeah he's the guy he clearly is the guy couldn Couldn't be more the guy.
Let's get some of those gifts going. I love those when it's always like extend your team's rival's worst player.
Yeah. Let's get some of those going forward.
I need it. He's the guy.
Also, T.J. Watt is now second all-time most sacks in first 100 games.
Reggie White 105, T.J. W JJ Watt 87.5, which is cool for the Watts but also reminds you how sick Reggie White was.
Reggie might have been the strongest NFL player of all time. He'd just throw offensive linemen.
The hump move that he would do with one arm and just push an offensive lineman seven yards behind the line of scrimmage. I feel like every week we get another TJ, JJ stat, and then JJ's like, man, this is so cool.
I couldn't imagine being a kid and growing up. The perspective is just killing me right now.
And then we start to lose sight of the perspective because from our perspective, it's like, okay, I've been hit over the head with this. Yeah, right.
But I just want to remind myself to have the perspective, to look at JJ Watt's perspective and say, that is really cool. Watt's stats are scorigamis.
Yes. I lose the perspective to look at jj watt's perspective and say that is really cool what what stats are scorigamis yes i lose the perspective because they keep happening keep having too many great the watt family is so good at football that i've become numb to how good at football yeah you could just you can find a stat there's a stat for that for every single big watt stat uh memes should we my memes just had a smile on his face like things are going great.
Zach Wilson is moving the ball. I keep saying to Max they should just kick the field goal now so they give themselves enough time to get another field goal.
Another field goal? Or a fumble. Yeah, I agree.
That was almost a great pass to Garrett Wilson. How are you feeling, Memes? I'm feeling good.
Why? I don't know. You shouldn't.
Zach Wilson's missed the fourth quarter. He leads the league in fourth quarter.
I mean, that's the one good Zach Wilson pass that you're going to get. Yeah.
And it was in his hands. And Gary Wilson didn't get it.
He had to get one before. All right, Max.
Sorry, memes. Third and four.
It's 16 to 12 Raiders. You need this first down.
And you are going to get it.

Wow.

Great job.

Okay.

We'll go back to memes in a second.

All right.

Last early game, Bucs 20, Titans 6.

This game stunk.

Yeah, I don't really have too many notes on the Bucs-Titans game.

The way you said that.

Yeah. It was the Bucs playing the Titans andans and um the bucks won i only have a couple notes um mike evans is good for like a comically bad drop every few weeks he had one today but then he actually turned around and and had 143 yards and touchdown but he for a guy who's a he's a future hall of famer he if he retired tomorrow, he'd be in the Hall of Fame.
Incredible wide receiver, but there still is like three or four times a year he gets thrown a football, and it looks like he's never touched a football in his life. It's like him and Mike Allstott are the two best offensive players in Bucs history.
Yeah. You can confidently say that.
Maybe Tom Brady. Maybe you can say Tom Brady.

Did you see that drop?

It was...

I did see it.

It twisted him up and he fell down like he was in a sitcom.

So my note on this game was related to that drop.

Do you know what his explanation was?

What?

He said he was thinking about which fan in the front row he was going to give the ball

to if he had caught that touchdown.

The Steve Shea effect. So he was actually...
He admitted to it. He was like, yeah, I fucked up.
I was thinking about the fan in the front row he was going to give the ball to if he had caught that touchdown effect so he was actually he admitted to it he's like yeah i fucked up i was thinking about the fan like i was i was i had the fan picked out of my head and i tried to catch it and i thought about my celebration before i caught it which is i'll say this it's better to drop a ball because you're thinking about that than it is if you drop a ball on the two-yard line before you run into the end zone, which is a big, big problem. But yeah, Mike Evans, it looked like a scene like Kramer comes in the door and you throw him a football and he drops it and then he hits over everything in the kitchen.
That's how he fell. But then he came back and played well.
The Titans' offense is very hard to watch. Will Levis is obviously a rookie.
He got beat up a lot today. They're trying to figure it out.
The Titans are officially in trying to figure it out mode. They've got to figure everything out.
They've been there for a while. If I were to ask you, Big Cat, what do you think the Titans record is in their last 16 games? Not good.
It's 8-8. 3-13.
Yeah, because remember they collapsed last year. They've not been good this year.
And somehow, someway, the Bucs are not a good football team, but they are, I think, maybe the best team in the NFC South. Could be.
The Saints are the only other answer, because we'll get to the Falcons in a little bit, but, like, yeah, I guess. The NFC South sucks.
It's bad. It's the worst.
It's bad. It's the worst.
But you got to band together if you're the NFC South.

You just got to say, like, we beat each other up.

Yeah.

That's the old NFC beast playbook.

But it's crazy to watch the Bucs play football and be like,

this could very well be a home playoff team.

Yeah.

Yeah, and that's the weird part about it is somebody has to host that fourth spot.

Yeah, like the Cowboys might have to go to Tampa Bay.

Yeah.

Which I guess they did last year.

Hank?

Who won?

Your Cowboys.

Yeah.

I saw a guy in Texas on Saturday.

He was like, I loved one.

Well, I saw a lot of guys.

Yeah, you're right.

How many guys did you see?

One guy, hundreds of guys.

One guy came up to me and was like, I'm a huge AWL and I love that Hank is a Cowboys fan now.

Fuck yeah.

Thank you. guys did you see one guy hundreds of guys uh one guy came up to me he's like i'm a huge awl and i love that uh hank is a cowboys fan now fuck yeah he was like finally representation matters i could see myself in this podcasting booth finally somebody in national media roots for the dallas cowboys finally it's good talking about the cowboys we should get a former cowboys player on this show i've always said we need aboys fan.
I would love to get a Cowboys fan just to pass. Exactly.
For that reason right there. Just like we should get just a.
We have Moose in preseason. Oh, Jake's here.
Hey, Jake. Hey, Jake.
Welcome back, Jake. Thank you.
No, I'm saying we should have like a former Cowboys player because every single media company has at least two former Cowboys. I can't decide.
It would just be great because actually, Max, it might be bad for your job security because if there's one person that we would like to laugh at more for their misery than an Eagles fan, it would probably be a Cowboys fan. I would love.
I don't like hate, hate Philly like Hank does, but watching Cowboys fans go through misery is the absolute best.

I don't hate Philly at all.

I just love watching them lose. It would be great to get a 7-foot, 130-pound Cowboys fan

and just put them next to Max, the perfect 10,

and just watch them just go at it all the time.

I mean, I'm not short.

You would be against a 7-footer.

Yeah.

Welcome to my life. I guess.
Are you saying you'd look tall next to a seven-footer? No, but the way you say that made it sound like... You're short? I was short.
You're not short, but if you hang out with a seven-footer... Seven-footer.
Max, you got to just worry about being in the doghouse. I'm not in the fucking doghouse.
I don't know why you keep saying that. Right.

Exactly. Okay, before we get to

the afternoon games, let's take a break and then we will

maybe narrate the end of the Jets game

that they are on the 23-yard line

trying to score a touchdown.

Before we get to the rest of the games, I want to talk

to you about Coors Light. I had some Coors Light

on Friday. I had two

Coors Lights on Saturday.

Blake got behind the bar. He was serving drinks

at the local pub.

I was enjoying some Coors Light. Watching college football, JMU Dukes winning, enjoying a Coors Light.
Mountains were blue. It was the perfect Saturday.
Fall doesn't have to be a buzzkill. Coors Light helps you find moments to unwind.
If you have a big work presentation, you can follow it with a happy hour, some friends, and a cold Coors Light. If you got weekend chores, take Saturday saturday off hit the tailgate even if you don't have tickets to the game whenever you need to hit reset reach for a coors light it's made to chill and there's the zach wilson interception zach to zach wilson if you're a jets fan you need to chill i highly recommend reaching for an ice cold coors light memes what color are the mountains blue mountains are blue they always blue because they're cold.
It's the coldest beer in the world. We went to the Coors office last week here at Part of My Take.
We all did a field trip out there. Got to drink some Coors Light straight from the tap.
It was delicious. Poured some Coors Light.
It was wonderful. The mountains on the bottles and cans, they turn blue when your beer is cold.
That way you always know when it's time to chill. When you need to hit reset, just open a Coors Light.
It's a mountain cold refreshment and it's made to chill. Coors Light is the one that I choose when I need to unwind.
So when you want to hit reset, reach for the beer that's made to chill. Get Coors Light delivered straight to your door with Drizzly or Instacart by going to CoorsLight.com slash take.
Celebrate responsibly. Coors Brewing Company, Golden, Colorado.

Oh, memes.

That interception.

Talk us through it.

That was just too many plays for Zach Wilson on that tribe.

It was 11 plays.

You can't have 11 plays.

It was so bad.

The guy wasn't open.

You could see the linebacker coming down.

Zach Wilson couldn't see him.

Yeah. But it was so clear.
Now they're going to get a first down on the second down. I don't know.
What's up? This is actually even meaner that they're going to let Zach Wilson have the ball again. You're going to think like, oh, maybe he'll do it.
Memes, do you want Aaron Rodgers to come back in December? What's our record? Let's say you lose two more games. No.
One more game. No.
So you have to go undefeated for the rest of November. At the Bills and the Dolphins next two games.
Must wins. It's too bad because the back half of your schedule gets a little bit easier.
Yeah, we play the Commanders. Oh.
We can't score a touchdown, so it doesn't matter. I was just busting balls.
Dude, we can't score a touchdown. We just watched two primetime games where they can't score a touchdown.
Yeah, that's true. They can't score a touchdown.
Why do they keep not flexing the Jets out? My theory this week is Mike Tirico loves Vegas.

Tirico made like nine references to like, oh, you know what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas.

Oh, yeah.

Things get wild out here in the desert, smoking cigars late at night.

I feel like Mike Tirico was like, no, we're going to go to Vegas.

You can't flex that out.

Well, like even with Aaron Rodgers, if he was playing, this wasn't even the best game.

They would definitely keep him, though. They want Aaron Rodgers.
But, like, Ravens-Browns would have been good. Jaguars-49ers, but.
What's your theory, like, how close do you think he actually is? Do you think he's going to come back this year? I think he wants to. I don't think he's ready.
So the Jets are going to get the ball back with a minute and a timeout.

He's just going to have to go through the torture again.

Yep.

It's going to happen again.

Can I bet on him to throw another pick?

Yeah, probably.

I'm going to try to do that live.

He's definitely going to throw another pick.

He has to.

But maybe memes.

You know what memes?

Maybe this will be like the greatest thing ever.

Like the Giants game?

No, I'm saying like maybe we're taping right now.

Maybe you're going to have your moment.

Your memes arrival moment. It's almost a passing of the torch in the studio.
Jake came in late. He had a flight.
Max is in the doghouse and is saying all types of pussy shit. I'm not in the doghouse.
And now you are going to be the alpha. If he pulls it off? Yeah.
This is your moment. All right, let all right let's go okay here we go my theory is they don't want to flex out any games where the super bowl is taking place they want to show off the venue as much as possible oh that is a good theory because they're this is their second home one they beat the steelers in week three and then they have a thursday night game against the chargers in december three home primetime games is a lot.
Yeah, that's a good theory. Because, yeah, the Raiders weren't supposed to be good.
Okay. I like that theory.
Okay. Next game.
Lions Chargers. Unbelievable game.
What a game. What a game.
If you like offense, it was great. Yes.
This was the Lions offense is so so good and i know it's a lot of the chargers defense being so bad the lions defense was not so good and i walked away from this game being like i guess the lions can win shootouts but man their defense like got torched like poor poor Justin Herbert. Justin Herbert played his ass off.
And he has the second most money invested in a defense in the NFL. Steelers being one.
Chargers being two. And a defensive head coach.
And that defense fucking sucks. They're miserable.
Lions players were running open everywhere. There was a fourth and five or six that the Lions ran the ball.
And they ran it for a first down. It was fourth and five, and Dan Campbell says go for it, which is kind of a ballsy play.
And then to run an inside handoff against a defensive coach, just like kicking dirt in the little nerd's face. That's what it was.
It was Dan Campbell like yeah i'm a football guy you're not yeah and and the lions offense now that their their offensive line is healthy like they look like they are all the way back on offense which makes them a very scary team i don't know their defense was driving me insane it felt like justin herbert like it really did feel no matter what whoever had the ball last was going to win the game because no one could stop either team at any point yeah i want to go back to october 22nd of last year oh my god zach just made an incredible pass uh october 22nd of last year dan campbell said this is rock bottom why aren't they using their timeout memes oh they used they just wasted Stay wasted eight seconds. You call him Bob? Man, it's Bob Salah.
Oh.

I think Bob's saying that you owe me more seconds. Put those seconds back on the clock.
Give me every second that I lost. But yeah, October 22nd, last year, Dan Campbell said, this is rock bottom for us, guys.
This is the most heartbreaking loss we can have. Since that loss, they are 16-5.
Yeah, it he called it they're good just like hank called rock bottom earlier today dan campbell called it october last year he was right i think it was that game against the patriots where they didn't score might have been yeah my my how tides have turned since then huh yes yes i was like really the the fork in the road for two franchises but yeah the lions they can win in different ways and i don't know if they can win in different ways they have to just score a shitload of points no they can beat the shit out of you sometimes no i'm just saying their defense is i i don't know if aaron glenn makes adjustments um i yeah i i like watching that game was so stressful because i bet a lot on the lions and being like, whenever the Chargers have the ball, it's not a question of will they score, it's just when will they score. Their defense is sus, for sure.
Zach Wilson, what's he going to do? Throwing it deep. Oh, my God, it almost worked.
All right, we have one last play here, and then then we'll get back to Lions Chargers. Five seconds on the clock.
Memes can be the alpha of this studio if he wins this game. If Zach Wilson pulls off, you know, he's got the arm strength memes.
This would be so sick. This would be so sick.
I just threw that out of bounds. What are you doing? This would be so sick, Memes.

Imagine if he does it.

Imagine.

He's not going to do it.

He looks a little panicked right now.

You don't believe he's going to do this.

Spoiler alert.

He's not going to do it.

44 yards is possible.

Spoiler alert. He's going to do it.

He's going to do it.

Oh, we're going to get a timeout.

What's the most Zach Wilson way to end this game?

I think a fumble. A sack fumble would be pretty good.

Yeah, like a 20-yard sack.

Yeah.

Throwing it away.

Yeah.

Sideline.

Gets batted down, hit right back to him.

Then he runs out of bounds.

Yeah, the pass gets deflected.

There's still time.

Like he throws a quick pass to try to get a couple more yards.

It gets batted down.

He catches it, and then he gets tackled inbounds.

And he tries to throw it again on his way down.

And that's it.

That's it.

And that's it.

It's so funny.

I can't believe you actually think this could happen.

Maybe I'll look like the biggest idiot ever, but spoiler alert, I'm not going to.

And I bet on the Jets.

I would love for this to happen.

Memes.

This would be incredible win.

All right,

memes.

Here you go.

Zach Wilson taking the snap.

He's going back and he's going to get sacked.

Oh no,

he's running backwards.

He's going straight back.

Let it rip.

Let it rip.

Let it rip,

Zach.

He lets it rip. It is.
Oh, my God. It was almost caught.
That was actually as close as you can get. Was that Garrett Wilson? Dude.
And let's just say right now that was an incredible play by Zach Wilson to avoid that sack. That's why you drafted him.
That's why you got to give him a new contract. That was the off-platform throw.
Yeah, Rolling to the left, throwing to his right That was literally the full Zach Wilson That's why you get that guy That was so close memes We got to see this replay Yeah, he touched it I think he got his hands all over it He's still not going to get it on the replay memes Oh no, Hank Rude Well, you're like, let let me see this replay it's not gonna make it better we found out today that memes has hank's number saved in his phone his enemy a budding rivalry not even a budding it is a ride it's full-blown i love memes yeah that's my boy give me a life all right we're never gonna see the replay we're. They're not going to show the replay.
Maybe he caught it, memes, and that's why they're not showing the replay. They will.
They got to show the handshakes first because that's live. Okay, here it is.
Let's watch the replay. Let's see how close he was, memes.
He's going to make it better, memes. Incredible job by Zach Wilson to avoid the sack.
Got a little help from the ref. What a throw.
And I don't think anyone could have caught it. No, I think he touched it.
I don't think it was catchable. That was a great play by Zach Wilson.
It went to Hessey Hay. Against Crosby.
And... Oh, he definitely could have caught it! Garrett Wilson could have caught that.
Oh, Garrett Wilson. All he's got to do is be a little bit better.
Oh, the guy in front of him. Is that Conklin? Yeah, Conklin took it away from Garrett Wilson.
Sorry, memes. Sorry, memes.
This sucks. Devontae Adams smiling.
Recap real quick, memes. Your season is over? The season's over again.
Okay. Still can't score a touchdown.
No longer the best team in the NFC? No longer. I think we're bottom 15 in the NFC.
Okay, bottom 15 in the NFC. 16 teams.
16. Yep.
Bottom 15. Not the worst.
Okay. And Aaron Rodgers not coming back.
Aaron Rodgers not coming back. I don't think Joe Douglas is coming back either.

Oh, he's built this roster meme.

It's a good roster. I saw him trending a lot.

It's a good roster.

Josh Dobbs is doing good.

Do you think they're going to?

Oh, yeah.

Josh Dobbs could win some games for the Jets.

Josh Dobbs is a big reason why Joe Douglas has been trending.

Wow.

Because they just said we're going to stick.

Well, I heard Salah last week when they were talking about, there was somebody in the press that was asking him, why haven't you brought in a new quarterback yet? Why aren't we giving Zach Wilson some competition? And they did with Trevor Simeon, right? But they're not giving him a chance to start. Yeah.
So the question was a fair question, and Salah said as much. He was like, you know, I respect that question.
It's a good good question um it's just we're gonna go with the guy that we have right now it almost felt like it was coming from above him whether that was joe douglas or if it was woody johnson saying no let's stick with zach wilson don't bring anybody else in it it felt like it wasn't his call to make josh jobs would have won that game yeah josh jobs would have won that carson wince might have won that game carson wants to reach out did you see that report oh he reached out twice oh pathetic he's so thirsty monday night again i say if carson wince showed up at my doorstep i would call the police but he asked twice yes twice he's like he's like are you sure yeah i really want to. They're like, well, yeah, we'll be back in touch with you and let you know.

And he's like, yeah, I never really heard back about that job opening.

I wanted to follow up.

It said I nailed the interview.

Because I sent my resume in, and I got a read receipt on it.

And so I wanted to follow up on that.

Man.

Sorry, memes.

Lions Chargers.

Back to Lions Chargers.

I don't understand what the Chargers are doing.

They spent all that money on defense, and they don't have any linebackers. That was the shocking thing in this game, where it was just, like, the running game, the Lions ran it all over them, and then any time they wanted, they had guys crossing the middle of the field wide open.
There were a million times when, whether it was St. Brown or somebody else, would catch the ball, like, seven yards downfield.
Yes. And then they'd run an additional seven yards before getting they might not have linebackers yeah they might not it might just be a defensive line and then you've get you've got four defensive backs and they forget to put linebackers out there well it's kind of the field was was incredibly wide open yeah and and ben johnson is an awesome play caller like that what was it fourth down when he threw the um the top tight end touchdown.
That was sick. Like Lions are so much fun to watch.
I'm just very worried that their defense is not good. And maybe it's just Justin Herbert's very good because I really do.
If you watch this game and anyone who's like Justin Herbert's not really good, you're just not watching the game because he is really good. And his defense is really, really bad.
They look really good. The Lions defense looked good against the Raiders.
Under offensive genius Josh McDaniels. Okay.
Let's not forget that. Yeah, let's do this real quick.
Congrats to the Lions. Your defense was good enough to get Josh McDaniels fired.
Yes. Which is a net positive for football.
And then you had a good game against the too which is also not a good offense also not a good offense yeah so who who is very one dimensional can't run the ball um yeah that's not i guess they look good against the falcons too yeah but like the the seahawks put up 37 on them yeah their defense the defense is definitely suspect and it's crazy because they watching the lines play defenses is so frustrating because i feel like there's so many times where they almost get a sack and they just don't and then it's like oh that's a 15 yard play and i guess maybe that's just the difference game of inches ever heard of it but it is lions fans i feel bad for you because your offense is so legit and watching that defense is is tough on certain Sundays. And when you start playing really good quarterbacks, that's who's most likely going to be in the playoffs.
But the good news is you might be able to outscore most teams. Yeah.
And you'll play fun football. Jerry Goff is great.
He's awesome. I'm glad that we held our stock on Jerry Goff.
I'm surprised Hank didn't sell that one too. He did kind of.
Kind of a little bit. Well, I think Hank said he's great on play action.

Yeah.

But we remain committed to Jared Goff being an elite quarterback.

He rooted against him in the Super Bowl.

He did root against him in the Super Bowl.

Incredible.

Jameer Gibbs also is so fun to watch.

I love rookie running backs when they have those fast legs.

Yeah.

And they got the rookie legs.

You can tell instantly if it's a rookie that's running the ball.

And David Montgomery's back.

He's back officially. By the way, we got breaking moves.
Breaking moves. This just came in.
It's a text from Paul Rabel. Tuesday, we're going to find out where the Water Dogs home is.
Tuesday, Sports Center, 2 p.m. We're going to find out where the Water Dogs home is.
I've had conversations with Paul. I have an inkling of where we might be.
We talked about a bunch of different cities. There was talks about Chicago, Denver, Great Lakes, Philadelphia, all these cities.
I'm very excited to see where the Water Dogs are going to be. We should call our stadium the Dog House.
Yes. That would be perfect for Max.
He'd feel right at home uh that's exciting we're gonna find out where the water dogs live i'm very excited about that so tuesday at two o'clock eastern on sports center paul rabel's gonna tell us what city will be the home of the water dogs this is a revenge season too yeah oh big we're angry big time we don't do second place yes okay so i hope heads roll heads need to roll that's huge i think i think maybe new logos too which would be cool because then we can do throwback logos i like that you know throwback day yeah that actually 2021 next time we have paul on we gotta tell him like change your logo every year that way your throwback logo everyone loves a throwback logo i think that a team wins a championship, they should retire that logo. Yeah.
Like when the run is over. Yeah, because then you remember it.
You can stay with it for the next season, I guess, but then maybe retire it once you don't win again. It's like, okay, that's the Super Bowl logo.
I like that. I like that a lot.
So Tuesday, 2 p.m. Eastern, SportsCenter, Paul Rabel is going to tell us where the Waterdogs live.
And then we're going to – I's gonna be big news for us boys huge news all right back to football Cardinals of Falcons Kyler Murray is back so back he looked good he looked really good he was so fast today so fast kind of adorable running around back there and he's got a like Trey McBride is a legit weapon for him. Like, Kyler Murray took them on a game-winning field goal drive that he could have easily scored a touchdown.
They got all the way down to the five-yard line. Yeah, it's fun.
You forget that, you know, there's a lot of stuff off the field, a lot of conversation about Kyler Murray, whether or not he, like, really loved playing football. When he's on the field, he looks awesome.
He looks like he's having fun when he's playing. The league is more fun when Kyler Murray's playing, especially because he plays for the Cardinals, which is usually an afternoon time slot team.
And it's like, you know, you usually get a couple games that there's three, four games. If two of them suck, you're like, fuck, this sucks.
When Kyler Murray's involved, the games usually are fun. He's the only player that he can drift back like five or ten yards in the pocket, and a defensive lineman will be running at him, and then they'll be like, wait, I'm in a whole lot of space with Kyler Murray, and they'll stop pursuing him from the sack.
And they'll just stand there and wait for him to turn around and run towards him because they know that if you run at him, he's going to step around you, and now there's even more space for him to go to. He's very fun to watch with the ball.
I had fun watching kyler murray i thought he was gonna be rusty if you're a falcons fan um correct me if i'm wrong but they've they've now lost to the vikings titans and cardinals which are three teams in a row with quarterbacks with exactly zero starts for those teams between the three of them on the season yeah on the season yeah um so i guess you could say arthur smith is getting hosed because he doesn't have any doesn't have tape to watch yeah on these guys before they play but that's that's a bad look yeah this the seat might be getting hot for our friend arthur to put it mildly yeah and heineke got injured today so they put ritter back in and say something nice about desmonditter. Didn't look bad when he came back in the game.
I thought he looked bad. He at least tried.
He didn't look as bad. He tried to throw it downfield.
Yeah. That would be the nicest thing I could say about Desmond Ritter, where he, in the past, he would, you know, not throw it downfield.
He tried a couple times.

And we got Bajon today.

Bajon Robinson got a full workload.

Yeah.

Which Arthur Smith proved that's not a winning formula.

Out of the doghouse.

So all of you nerds were wrong.

22 carries doesn't make you win.

Don't ask how many receptions Kyle Pitts had

and how many yards he had.

That doesn't matter.

But you got your Bajon wish.

He had three for 30.

Three for 30.

It's explosive.

Baby bump did not work.

That was a late addition.

It was after we recorded.

Yeah, there should be a warning if it's Kyle Pitts specifically. And thank you to the Cardinals because they won a game, and now the updated tank-a-thon is the Panthers in sole position of the first pick, which is the Bears pick.
Huge. So thank you to the Cardinals.
I think they could probably win a few games here with Kyler Murray. Hank, would you like to know who you're selecting? Yes, please.
You're now third. So it goes Caleb Williams, Drake May, Marvin Harrison Jr.
to the Patriots. Love that.
Who's going to throw him at all? Bailey Zappi? Yeah, Bailey Zappi had some nice zip on a couple of those passes. Listen, if you get Marvin Harrison Jr., that like can get you so excited for a very long time would you be less excited about bailey zappy if his name wasn't bailey zappy i think i would i think the name it's just kind of electric yeah yeah yeah bailey zappy was awesome in college loved watching him play ball uh okay next up cowboys giants oh boy uh the giants say something nice about the giants tommy devito's family looks awesome central casting the most italian new jersey family you could you could see uh there was the whole story this week that tommy devito still lives at home and was like why wouldn wouldn't I? I get my laundry done, chicken cutlets.

Just so perfect.

It is, and I want to defend him on this because he lives in New Jersey.

He lives pretty close to New York.

It's not cheap to live there.

He's not getting paid a whole lot of money.

His mom's probably a great cook.

His mom is probably awesome.

He's probably got a good setup there.

So shout out to Tommy DeVito,

who's wearing the TD gold chain

around his neck during the game.

And if there's ever a community that you can get away with that, it's the Italian community. Yeah.
You live at home until you find a wife. It's perfect.
His mom probably won't let him move out. Your mom is your wife until you find a wife.
His mom looked like she wanted to kick Brian Dable's ass during this game. Like, what the fuck are you doing to my son? And his dad was like, that's your fucking third down play? Yeah.
His dad is perfect. Yeah, his family was the best part of this game.
Just using their hands to yell at the Giants and everything, yeah. There were a few plays in the first half especially where the game plan seemed to be just get Tommy DeVito as far away from the ball as possible.
So they had him run out wide, and they would do like a last-second Wildcat thing. And when they split him out wide, they split him out very wide.
they split him out very very wide like very like run off the field whatever you do don't touch the ball during this play and you know what i always think about with guys like tommy devito who you know they probably don't have a long career in the nfl uh just give it time tommy devito because you'll at some point in your life 10 years from now now, you'll be working a job, maybe coaching football.

You'll have your Giants' Tommy DeVito game-worn jersey hung up in your office.

And you'll be like, yeah, I threw a few touchdown passes in the NFL.

What do you think his next job's going to be?

I think meet Sifflin.

Coach.

I think maybe steak.

He might sell steaks door-to-door.

Yeah.

Maybe garbage.

Yeah, could get in the garbage.

Waste management. Sanitation.
Yeah, sanitation. but like dad does yeah you gotta he's in the plumbing and heating business all right so perfect but he is like just think about that tommy there will be you know you people are joking on you right now you've been put in a terrible terrible spot but at some point enough time will pass that people will be like oh yeah Tommy DeVito? That was fun.
I love the fact that they're not even trying to put Matt Barkley in the game. And if you look at Matt Barkley's Wikipedia page, at least earlier today, it listed him as being a former NFL quarterback, even though he's been on – I think he's been on the team for like a week maybe.
Yeah. But they're not even thinking about him.
They're saying next week we're rolling with Tommy Vito again Tommy yeah he's the he's the so Italian he is the tank top well yeah the best possible guy you can have to tank if you're the New York Giants yeah and they the the Giants had seven drive their first seven drives at one first down they didn't gain more than 17 yards until their ninth possession then Tommy DeV did have two touchdown passes, but in the first half, the Cowboys had 28 points and the Giants had 27 yards. Yeah, it wasn't.
It wasn't good. And the Cowboys, even the Cowboys kind of came out a little slow, like Dak threw a bad interception.
But then there's nothing that the Cowboys like doing more than just beating the fuck out of bad teams. And Dak looked awesome.
He made great throws. Like, that is the Cowboy way.
They've won 12 straight at home. This season alone, their scores at home is 170 to 50.
170 to 50. It's pretty good everybody got involved.
They're just beating the fuck out of teams. They beat the Giants this year 89 to 17.
Yeah, I don't know what we can take away from this game for the Cowboys. No, it's more the same.
I think it adds to what we already thought about the Cowboys earlier. Yeah, the Cowboys are just, if they play a bad team, take them every single day.
I feel bad for Saquon Barkley. I feel so bad for him for him going to this game he knew that it was just basically going to be him on offense and then they were just going to hope that everything worked out the game plan was like get through this game without saquon injuring himself yeah somehow and try to like they were down i think 28 to 0 and saquon was just looking up at the scoreboard just like get me get me the fuck out of here, please.
It was sad to watch.

It was sad to watch.

Yeah.

I mean, this game went.

Listen, I know that I'm a bad gambler, but I took the Cowboys today because I was like, this spread isn't enough.

Yeah.

Like, it's not enough.

I took the Cowboys. I took Tommy DeVito's under for passing yards, which was 157 and a half somehow.
Did he hit it? No. He hit the over? No, 86.
He had 86. He had 86 yards, which is actually a pretty good game for Tommy.
Yeah, Tommy, he had two touchdown passes. Yeah.
That was not bad. He had two touchdowns, one interception.
That's a good game. That's pretty good.
Yeah. That's pretty good for Tommy DeVito.
I'll say this. Oh, 175, I think, was their total yards.
Yeah, 172. He no longer looked like the example of could you get a first down if you were put in as an NFL quarterback.
Yes. He looked serviceable at times.
Yeah, at times. And, yeah, I think that the Cowboys, it'd be nice if they played in the BCS era.
Yeah. Because they score style points against these bad teams.
Yeah, that's what they do. Computer bumped them up in the rankings.
Yeah, exactly. All right, last game.
Seahawks, 29. Commanders, 26.

PFT.

Yes.

We think in Yoffs?

Yoffs.

I just got to switch around a couple games.

Okay.

You got to move some things around. I got to move some things around.
This one I had as a win in my spreadsheet in my head. So we just – you know what we have to do? We got to steal one.
Got to steal one. Now we have to steal one against the Dolphins.
Got to steal one. So if we steal one against the Dolphins, then there's still a path there.
I don't really have expectations for this team anymore. Like it seems like the Minnesota Vikings are good enough where I don't,

I. path there um i don't really have expectations for this team anymore like it seems like the minnesota vikings are good enough where i don't i don't necessarily think that my original plan to get to nine wins would get us into the playoffs yeah the vikings might get nine or ten um we do have the tiebreaker with the falcons which is nice though but today won't come in handy nope i'm just saying that actually will.
I know, I just read. I read that was one good thing that the commanders have done,

so we do have that tiebreaker.

It's okay to run the ball.

I just want to say, for reference, Eric B.

It's okay to run the ball.

You can run the football.

It's Andy Reid's system.

It's the Andy Reid's system where they use the running backs

as an extension of the pass game,

or I guess the short passing game is really an extension of the running game that they do. Which the short passing game worked.
It does work, and Brian Robinson had a great touchdown off that. Really, the two best plays of the day came off Sam Howe scrambling out of the pocket, finding a running back, and then getting a big gain off it.
Sam Howe's still the guy. He's 100% the guy.
Yeah, that touchdown drive at the end was awesome. He's great.
He had 312 yards, threes no interceptions he's not he's not taking sacks like he used to he got sacked three times today but it's not as bad as it was in the past so he's learning he's growing we've seen growth i um i'm close to saying like i'm okay with tanking at this point but the fact that we're in the hunt graphic right the in the hunt graphic fucks me up all the the time. Because the in the hunt graphic is a very powerful narcotic if you have a bad team.
And you should be rooting for them to tank to get a better draft pick. But you see that fucking in the hunt graphic and you think to yourself, we can make the playoffs.
And listen, Pittsburgh Steelers, they won the Super Bowl as a wild card. Like it's happened before.
It happens actually not that infrequently where you make a little run in the playoffs so you start deluding yourself and you think fuck i'm in the hunt if i could just get out of the hunt and into the game just give me a chip in a chair and it could happen in the playoffs it never it it doesn't really work out that way and i should stop thinking about that but every time they put that fucking in the hunk graphic up i want to win that game. You know the Bears are one game behind the Commanders, and we have the tiebreaker.
You're almost in the hunt. Just putting into perspective that the Commanders might be closer to the bottom.
That sounds like some fuzzy math to me. There's no way.
I just want to throw that out there. You're one game behind the Commanders? Come home.
Did you see? Wait, wait. No, I want.
I know the in the hunt always fucks me up. I'm in the hunt.
Counterpoint. Around Thanksgiving.
It's like, let's fucking go, boys. Time to nut up.
Okay. All time.
Counterpoint, big cat. Here's the in the hunt graphic.
Are the bears on there? No, but I'm just saying you're one more loss and a bears went away from being. This is before or after the loss.
This is before the loss. We were the first one.
We were the first one in the hunt, though. We're the top of the In the Hunt.
No, the In the Hunt is my favorite graphic in the world. I just aspire to be in the hunt in Thanksgiving.
Show me the In the Hunt, and I'm like, oh, yes. I'm also learning that the In the Hunt graphic is actually bad.
They've definitely made the In the Hunt graphic bigger. Yeah they've they've they've put everyone in the hunt they tried to rebrand it last year with a sniffing around i like sniffing around yeah and lurking i do think sam howell was great though i do you think that they should have gone for two yes yeah that's the other thing like ron rivera you pussy riverboat ron no wait i why why has anybody ever called you that um i was screaming at the TV, go for two.
We're on the road. Our defense sucked.
The only reason I would say not to go for two there was there was a lot of time left. Yeah, but our defense sucked.
No, I know. But I feel like you go for two when there's 10 seconds left.
It's like the game is over. It probably wouldn't have affected the outcome of this game because our defense was going to give up a drive to Geno Smith anyways.
Who was great at end he was very you know look look like you know I did have the theory that maybe I was too hard on Gino after he played the Ravens and the Browns uh so Gino looked back to being okay he looked yeah he looked okay I think he looked pretty good today yeah and our defense was bad somehow you lose our two best pass rushers and you can't generate pressure on the quarterback it's weird when that happens um yeah defense is really bad fire jack del rio fire ron rivera uh ron rivera is definitely a guy that's been mentally checked out for weeks just weeks he doesn't give a shit um guess what you're gonna beat the giants next week and you'll be even more in the hunt yeah that's the thing is we're now like nine and a half point favorites at home against the giants and so we win that game and then we're back at the top of the in the hunt graphic yeah i want to win another game after that and then cowboys then we got to steal one against the dolphins yep and then anything can happen anything can happen then we got then we got chilling on the bump yep rams jets who memes through in the white towel. We're not out of it yet.

You still do have to play the 49ers and Cowboys.

We might steal one against the Cowboys, too.

Play the Cowboys twice in the 49ers. But we might steal the last game against the Cowboys.

Yeah, you're not going to beat the Cowboys in Dallas

because that's when they like to get their BCS rating up.

That's when they like to beat up on bad teams.

No, it's not Thanksgiving.

Wait, is it Thanksgiving?

Yeah, it is Thanksgiving.

Oh, God.

I got to watch the Commanders. We're going to win on Thanksgiving.
We're going to steal one. We're going to steal one on the road Thanksgiving, and then we're going to steal one against the 49ers.
They're raised in voice. They did not.
Then we're going to steal one against the Dolphins. Then we're going to steal one against the Cowboys at the end of the season because the Cowboys will be already set in their playoff spot in week 18.
They will. I feel like if they lose in Thanksgiving, that's going to mean they're going to probably need to get another win.
Yeah, that's true. You just kind of...
We're going to tie them on Thanksgiving. Yeah, if you beat the Cowboys on Thanksgiving, they will have to play week 18.
We're going to tie them on Thanksgiving, and then that tie will put them into the third spot, and they'll be locked in the third spot in the playoffs, and then they won't have to play week 18 we're gonna time on thanksgiving and then that tie will put them into the third spot and they'll be locked in a third spot in the playoffs and then they won't have to play week and then don't don't let the eagles see the commanders don't let you don't want to see us three times you do not want to see it's hard to beat a team three times big cat yep is that true max you should be worried about that i don't i i agree with pfd i don't want to see the commanders in the playoffs yeah yeah i'm the biggest sam sam howell believer out there thank you for the support sam howell is now four in one lifetime against super bowl winning coaches this being his first loss yeah p carroll um yeah seahawks look they look good offensively it's hard to say how much of that was just the commanders dog shit defense and how much was seattle actually figuring But, yeah, credit to them. They're a good team.
Yeah, they are. I think the Seahawks are a good team.
That's a tough place to play. They're a good team that I don't think can win the Super Bowl.
Yeah, I agree with that. Let's do that real quick.
Teams that can win the Super Bowl. I was thinking about it another way because we obviously have friends on the show, and anytime they have a bad game, everyone's they're overrated and there's certain quarterbacks that like i don't care if they have two three bad games in a row i'm not going to say that they're bad josh allen joe burrow patrick mahomes like some of these quarterbacks like jared jared would never have three bad games these are the quarterbacks like i think they're pretty good.
One game doesn't make it.

Friend of the program.

If he plays against a good team.

All right.

Teams that can win the Super Bowl.

Dolphins.

Chiefs.

Dolphins can't win the Super Bowl.

Yes, they can.

You think so?

Yeah.

Have they beaten any good teams?

No, but they can.

They can.

Okay.

All right.

My list is Kansas City, Baltimore, Cincinnati in the AFC. I'm going to add one to that big cat.
I actually might add one too. Are you thinking what I'm thinking? I'm thinking we're going to say three, two, one.
Ready? Three, two. I was going to say Browns.
Okay. Browns.
Yeah. Yeah.
I might add the Browns. Because Deshaun, like you said, if he's good, that defense is good enough.
Defense wins championships. People forget that.
Yeah. And then in the NFC, I have it Eagles 49ers.
Cowboys. No.
Wait, have we actually determined that the Cowboys are officially frauds? Because that was a statement loss that they had. Yeah, they won that loss.
They won that loss. They won the loss.
Max even admitted it. He's like, they shouldn't have.
If the Eagles were honorable people, they would have given the Cowboys that win. If the Eagles were smart, they would have given that win because that way you give a false sense of confidence to your opponent and know you can beat them.
Here are the teams the Dallas Cowboys have beaten this year. The New York Giants, the New York Jets.
The New England Patriots. The Los Angeles Chargers.
The Los Angeles Rams. The New York Giants.
Mmm. Okay.
Hank. Not exactly Murderer's Row.
Was that the Chargers without Austin Eckler? Might have been. They will have games that they can prove it though they play the eagles bills dolphins in a row and lions all in a row in december so that will be actually holy shit their december schedule is seahawks eagles bills dolphins lions commanders command well yeah i'm talking about playoff teams well that's five potential Playoff teams right there So yeah So we have four teams in the AFC And two teams in the NFC Lions fans are going to be mad at you Listen I think the Lions are a great story Their offense is incredible Their defense they have to be able to stop someone Maybe they figure it out They do have a lot of defensive talent I just You have to be able to see someone.
Maybe they figure it out. They do have a lot of defensive talent.
I just, you have to be able to see them stop someone. I think if you were to ask Lions fans truthfully right now, like, do you think this team could win the Super Bowl? They would probably say no.
I guess there is a style. Yeah, they could.
They could. They've been waiting for this season.
No, I mean, they're having a great time. And I don't want to take anything away from the season because if you're a Lions fan,

you should go to like every away game.

You should throw parties during NFL Sunday.

You should like get on message boards and brag and like invade other teams message boards

and be like, fuck you.

We're the Lions.

We're not going anywhere.

You should do all that stuff.

But I also think that they know that the defense is not good enough right now to be able to

be better teams in the playoff. Yeah, this is the right now by the way this could change there could be material changes the lions defense like i know that it's become an offensive league but defense you still need a very good defense you do especially in the playoffs i don't know if that's true but it's lions going to philadelphia lions going to san francisco san francisco maybe not but oh you have the philly you have the niners over the eagles right now yeah oh okay maybe the lions can just outscore teams if you outscore them you win it's true so and more points jalen hurts might not be healthy so maybe the offense of the eagles couldn't outscore the lions i'll put the a parentheses.
Maybe the Lions and Browns. That actually feels a perfect place for both of them.
They're in our tickler file of could be. They also have an easy schedule coming up, so more wins could be on the way.
Yeah. 7-2 Detroit.
Yeah. It'd be so good if the Steelers won the Super Bowl.
A Lions, two Lions home playoff games would fucking rock. Man, that would rock.
I just want one. Yeah, but if they can keep winning games, it could get two.
They'd get the two seed. Yeah, but just imagine the pop that it's going to get.
Yeah. Big pop.
It would rock. Thanksgiving's going to pop, too.
Yeah, Thanksgiving is going to pop. Okay, let's finish up the show with Who's Back of the Week.

I got a couple.

Hank, you're so prepared.

Thank you.

Oh, that's weird.

Do we have the report?

Yeah, it's ready for Wednesday.

Is it ready?

Yeah, I mean, I got to do a final look through. You just said it was ready for Wednesday.
Oh. Is it ready? Yeah, I mean, I got to do a final look through.

You just said it was ready for Wednesday.

AWLs were very upset.

Yeah, I apologize like seven times.

That's not enough.

The no-stop tactic usually works if you want to go.

You think maybe your lack of preparation set the tone for the Patriots this weekend?

Yeah, possibly.

First one was...

It's good that you were golfing all Friday night

instead of working on your report.

I thought Hank wasn't golfing on weekends.

I was at work.

We were streaming.

Yeah, you should have been working on your report.

Okay.

The AWLs desperately want to see.

Credit to Hank.

He was dialed, though.

You're playing pretty well.

First one was... A lot of practice.
Travis Scott and Taylor Swift. We talked about that.
Travis who? Travis Scott. Travis Scott.
Taylor Swift, I would imagine. Travis Kelsey and Taylor Swift.
Talked about that already. Max in the doghouse.
Yeah. Oh, my God.
Is he in the doghouse? Not in the doghouse. Not in the doghouse.
It was so cute. Oh, my gosh.
I respect. It was so cute to see that.
I I respect love and I respect the Kelsey family. My second one is Max Homa.
Yeah. Oh yeah.
He won the African World Cup of Golf. Fuck yes.
I didn't even know there was golf being played this week. That's actually it's more important than the cider tanks.
It is. It's the road to Dubai.
Tour event. Yeah.
Don't know how that works. How much did he make? Don't know that.
Let's find out. But he had.
Find that out for us. I mean, he put up an Instagram story where he was on just a bunch of people's shoulders.
They were throwing him up in the air. Yeah, the locals were doing some sort of ceremony.
Yeah. He was crowd surfing.
What's that called, Jake, in a Jewish wedding? Is there a name for that?

Well, there's the horror.

It looked like he was doing the horror.

That's when you go in the chairs.

Yeah, he was basically doing that minus the chair.

They were just tossing him up in the air.

He was a member of the tribe.

It was great.

Great vibes all around.

And then my last Who's Back of the Week is more of just a gripe.

This is more of just something I want to get off my chest

because it's going to keep coming up. fucking hate the nba mid-season tournament courts yeah hate them hate them don't understand why they do it they all look gross the suns was one of the most disgusting courts i've ever seen the souther's court was like cool design wise but still i'd rather just the traditional court uh so this is just going to be something that bothers me every time i turn on uh the nba and they have these courts yeah it's like uh i don't mind the fact that they make me miss the wood you know like you watch one game and you're like i really miss just the old-fashioned the floor of boston garden i missed looking at that natural stuff yeah but it looks like you're watching a WAC mid-conference like a random college basketball game.
It does look beneath the NBA. Way beneath the NBA.
So far beneath them. Well, I'll play games in China.
Just to do a mental calendar, it's only on Friday nights the next few weeks. Yeah, I won't be watching.
So if it's friday night until they go to vegas you'll be expecting that all right it's good to know that i can expect it but yeah it bothers me especially the sun's one so this one wasn't terrible like the design was cool in theory like the what what they did with it but it's not as good as the regular court the sun's court was just an abomination it's like yeah when um when other college football programs started to do the different colored fields after Boise State, when Boise State had it, it's fun.

It's like, oh, that's the blue field.

Geese die on it every year.

That was cool.

And then once Western Washington comes out with the blood red, Eastern Michigan has the gray where it looks like you're playing in Pleasantville.

It gets to be a little bit much. Yeah, I'd agree.
That's it. We all stand together.
Max one just north of a million. Oh, nice.
Oh, congrats. You don't have to pay taxes on that either.
This is in Africa. South Africa.
Anything international. No state income tax.
You don't have to. PFT, who's your who's back? My who's back of the week is James Harden.
Oh. James Harden's back.
He's playing with the Clippers. The Clippers are now 0-4 with James Harden in the lineup for him.
And he had a great quote. Did you see his quote last week? No.
They asked him if he was a system player because he was talking about his coaching in the past. And he said, I'm not a system player.
I am the system. Oh, hell yes.
Which is a hell of a quote. Great quote.
And then they went out and lost a couple games.

So he is, I guess he's a system player.

Like say what you want about James Harden, but the man has been nothing but consistent.

Yeah.

Throughout the years.

That is a fact.

He will, his system is get to the foul line, annoy every dad that's watching the game,

and then just kind of go home as soon as the season's over.

Did you hear that clip?

There was a Clippers announcer that went viral that just ripped him off. Oh, the Mavs announcer.
The Mavs announcer. Yeah.
He was like, everyone gave you everything you want, and you're too dumb to realize that maybe you're the problem. Yeah.
Which was very right. Okay, my who's back is something I want us to do as a collective here.
It's the Heisman race. We have a pretty big podcast, sports podcast.
Maybe we could influence some people. I think as a group, we should get behind Jaden Daniels plus 550.
I agree. At the end of the game on Saturday, I think he was at plus 900.
And before that game, he was at like plus 2000. I think we should get behind Jaden Daniels make that bet and try to bang on that drum he is the best player in college football he's the best player in college football it's become a team award he's the best player in college football you don't want to do it Hank I need a buy in from everyone because what we have to do is basically propaganda stats of Jaden Daniels to get everyone in the world being like, did you know Jaden Daniels is actually better than everyone else? If Marvin Harrison Jr., if they beat Michigan, he's going to win it.
No. Do you just want him to win the Heisman so that when you get him on the Patriots, he can be like Heisman Trophy winner? No, I think what's going to end up happening is going to be the winner of the bo nicks first michael pennix uh in the pack 12 championship game it could be but jane daniels is the best player in college football i agree that's what i'm saying we should do it we saw the ohio state we saw that game up close and personal ohio state quarterback is terrible but why don't we do this is putting up these numbers i'm down why don't we do it i just as a team as a group as a collective i'm down doing right now you don't sound that down hank I'm down I'm just I'm down.
Why don't we do it? I just. As a team, as a group, as a collective.
I'm down. I'm doing it right now.
You don't sound that down, Hank. I'm down.
I'm just being honest. Before, you know, we're talking it out.
Like you said, we're doing it as a group. I want to do it, Big Ken.
I'm just kicking myself because I had the bet locked in on Saturday night during the game. Oh, that's.
And then I didn't do it. And then the odds got so much better.
Wait, so then we're not going to do it? No, I'll do it. I'll still do it.
I'll do it. My phone's out there.
I'll still do it. Memes, Max, Jake.
We could influence some people. I'll root for you guys.
I'll publicize it. Jaden Daniels is having an insane, insane season.
Tell you what, best quarterback in the country. Big Cat, I'm going to.
We need a stats blog on Barstool. Yeah, every day.
The case for why Jaden Daniels is. Yes, he puts that hole on it.
Every day. Pac-12 stats are inflated you could also go that right yep good point don't play defense in the pac-12 yep he's also if you look at the past winners of the heisman trophy he is the only one who compares to them like poe nicks and michael pennix do not have similar numbers in all the categories jane daniels has them and surpassed them in a lot of them.
He has 38 total touchdowns. What does Michael Penix have? We might have to start bashing Michael Penix.
Michael Penix played at Indiana. Michael Penix is a great quarterback.
Michael Penix also has Roma Dunze. Yes.
Who's, there we go. Almost on the same level as Marvin Harrison Jr.
Look at this. Michael Penix has 30 total touchdowns.
Janeaden Daniels has 38. Hmm.
Hmm. Tell you what, I'm going to ride with you on this.
Michael Penix, rushing yards, guess what they are? A lot. Minus 27.
Oh, no way. Because they do the stupid like stuff.
Yeah, because college stats. Yeah, but you just said it's a team.
Jaden Daniels has 918. That's a lot more.
But his defense stinks. That's not his fault.
Did you say it's a team award? It's not. You just said that.
No, it's become a team award, but it's not. They're going to give it to a QB who's lost versus a QB that's undefeated or a wide receiver.
They play Georgia State and Texas A&M. He's got to put up video game stats against Georgia State.
I'm ready for it. I like that Hank is still the quarterback wins guy.
I love the quarterback wins. I'm not.
I'm just trying to – I'm talking it out with you using your own logic. You know what the problem is with the quarterback wins debate is somehow everybody that is anti-judging wins as a stat

now says that Justin Herbert is the best quarterback

to ever play the game.

There is something to the quarterback win stat,

but it's not everything.

It's obviously not even that much of it.

But Jay Daniels is like the perfect test case of it

where he's the best player in college football.

His defense is just so bad.

Let's get it going.

It's incredibly bad. Yeah.
You can't hold a win against Jayden Daniels. That's what I'm saying.
Let's get it going. Tell you what.
I will lock in this bet. I'll make it my biggest bet of the season.
And then we just go. Big Cat, if I can count on your support in the ongoing letter writing campaign against the NCAA for James Madison.
Yeah, I'm going to need you to explain it to me better than you explained it to me earlier. Not right now, but in private, and I will absolutely help you.
Okay. I 100% have your back.
Jake, finish us off. First off, I would like to correct myself that the NBA season tournament is Tuesdays and Fridays.
Oh, no. They didn't do it the first week because it was election day, so there were no games.
But Tuesdays and Fridays through November. It's also such a hassle.
Think about the fucking poor people at these arenas. You think they give a fuck about the in-season tournament? They have to switch out the hardwood every other day.
A lot of them are doing it for hockey anyway, so it doesn't really make a difference. Still, still not right.

Wait, what do you mean?

Like most of these arenas are changing over from hardwood to ice no matter what.

What about New Orleans?

Yeah.

The Smoothie King.

The good people down at the Smoothie King Arena.

They have to do so much. I think about the people,

and I would imagine that there is some annoyance of like we have now three courts. Yes.
Factoring. Agreed.
My who's back is Coach K. He returned to Cameron Indoor for a big game for Duke against Arizona.
I thought he wasn't going to games. And they lost.
He looks so unhappy. That's interesting.
Caleb Love transferred to Arizona after eliminating Coach K in his final season

and balled out and waved bye to camera crazies.

Did you see how pissed off he looked?

I did.

The whole crowd was cheering for him.

His wife looking great as ever, standing next to him,

trying to amp the people up.

Coach K just looked like he'd rather be anywhere else.

Huh.

It was interesting.

That's interesting.

Let the guy live.

Duke is here in Chicago tomorrow. Champions huh who are they playing it's Duke Kansas Michigan State and they play Michigan State it's the four blue bloods why was Coach K there Izzo lost blue blood explain that hank why was the coach at the place where he has a court named after him watching one of their biggest games of the year he's not the coach kentucky former coach i mean it's the coach k court was he at was he at the game or was the question factor fiction alumni has returned to uh their schools all the time to watch big games Not when they say they'll never do it.
When did he say that? What's the exact word? Okay, I've just got a random quote pulled up here from Coach K. Per John Rothstein, Coach K tells me that he does not plan to attend any games.
Ha ha! Ha ha! Suck on that, bitch.

I mean, you guys are just, like, you guys are grasping at stuff.

He doesn't want to be a distraction for John Schaer.

Guess what?

We could have used this time instead of talking about Coach K to go over the lighthouse,

but we don't have that presentation.

You asked for it Wednesday.

And Max is in the doghouse, and memes is not the alpha.

But, Hank, you said that it was going to be done on Thursday. I could present it right now.
Oh, you could? Yeah. All right.
Do you want me to? No, we'll wait for Wednesday. Okay.
All right. That was an all-time stalemate right there.
Hank was like, please don't call my bluff. And then Big Cat was like, I don't want to call his bluff and have him do a bullshit presentation that's halfway done.
I couldn't present it. It's not done.
It's not done. All right.
Numbers. 18.
