It's Pardon My Take presented by Marshall Sports

Welcome to Pardon My Take

Today is Monday, October 2nd

Week 4

We'll be right back. Welcome to part of my take.
Today is Monday, October 2nd, week four.

Whap, whap.

The Readers.

Wake up, Maggie.

I got something to tell you.

Say to you?

I got something to say to you. Late September.

Hey, teach.

They should wake up that guy from Green Day.

Yes. We start in western New York where the Bills wasted the Dolphins.
Speaking of wasted Bills, my former friend Nicky Smokes makes $100,000 a year. Gabe Jefferson Davis didn't keep it civil and said, suck my Dixie as he drew first blood for an Ely lead.
Braxton Wall Berrios tried to respond, but things went south, granting Buffalo a huge win. Tune in for Civil War Tua later this year in Miami.
Bills 41, Dolphins 20, hey, Teej. Yeah, boom.
No one circles the wagons like the Buffalo Bills. And it's officially spooky season as Sam Halloween hooked up with Deshaun Dippin-Dotson and Brian Robinson Jr.
Mints. Jalen Hurtschies was straight off his huge payday where he got lots and lots of hundred grand.
Trace Milky Way looked more ready for Thanksgiving. Hey, boom, I tuned into the Barstool Gambling Cave for overtime

and I thought I was watching Oppenheimer

because all I saw was a fat man and a little boy.

Assault, Teej. Assault.

In Ovo time, Drake Elliott had the Jumbotron shit poppin'

as he said, imagine if I never hit the Potskis,

nailing a 54-yarder for the win.

Eagles, 34. The Commanders, 31.

Across the pond, everyone woke up with a raging morning woody

We'll be right back. skis, nailing a 54-yarder for the win.
Eagles, 34. The Commanders, 31.

Across the pond, everyone woke up with a raging morning woody

as King Arthur Smith went

to battle with the Saxonville Jaguars.

I saw a speedy wide

receiver walking around the end zone.

A woo!

Drake Werewolves of London

had a huge score in Zevon

and British Falcons fans are saying,

send solicitors muskets and pounds.

The shit has hit the fan.

In the words of my good friend Paul McCartney,

Desmond's throwing picks at a record pace.

Kyle's running routes without the ball.

Desmond says to Kyle, I'm going to miss this pass.

And Kyle says, coach, what was that call?

Oh, blah, D. Oh, blah, duh.
Falcons, Falcons lose. La, lose, lose, lose, lose, lose, lose.
Obladi, oblada, Falcons lose. La, loss, loss, loss, loss, Falcons lose.
Jaguars 23, Falcons 7. We head back to stateside where the Panthers' first overall pick doesn't look a thing like Jesus, but he was drafted like a ghetto man.
Like you imagine when you saw Bryce Young. I got skull, but I'm not a skullger.
I got skull, but I'm not a skullger. As the Panthers, led by Frank, Mr.
Reich's side, fall to 0-4, killing their season once and for all. Vikings 21, the Panthers 13.
In Chicago, where the Komets didn't look feeble as he hauled in one touchdown and another. But the tank will continue in Chicago.
The Bears were up early, but Russell Wilson looked into the future and said, I'm daddy now. And speaking of good parents, Jaleel McClory Laughlin paid for admission to the end zone, making it one win in a rowing as he looked at the Bears defense and said, USC, you suck cock.
Speaking of not getting into the Trojans, the Bears gave fields no protection as the Bears may be looking for a different Trojan in next year's draft.

Hope this wins a magnet.

Broncos 31, Bears 28.

Down to Texas where I think it's time to pronounce Dallas the best team in the NFC

as they beat the They-triots and Ezekiel Elliott Page who wasn't used to all those balls

as he got stuffed by a Cowboys D that said, do you know who we are? Ironically, Mack Jones should have been abhorred in some of those throws. QBs used to be able to throw v.
Wade Phillips, but this is a Dan Quinn defense now. Cowboys cornerback Deron Bland seems to really be enjoying pro-life.
Cowboys 38, the Patriots 3. Thanks to our correspondence, Nick, for that one.
Back up north to Indianapolis where Puka Doncic made the Colts' defense look very slovenly. Slovenly.
Jared Fogeltree had 426 foot longs of receiving yards, but was thankfully locked up late in the fourth. Kyrian Rusillo-Williams as Mr.
Los Angeles, as every key worked, letting himself into the end zone twice on Sunday, and the Rams take one in overtime. Rams 29, Colts 23.
Whoop, whoop, whoop. Out west to San Francisco, where the Arizona Cardinals looked like the Phoenix Suns in the 2020 bubble, getting 40 Ds shoved down their throat as McCaffrey scored again and again and again and again Josh Calvin and Dobbs was a paper tiger after last week as the Cardinals got sent back to the funny papers Brock Purdy deeds and his contracts cheap Purdy deeds and his contracts cheap is a breath of fresh air turning the AC on much to the chagrin of the Cardinals' DC and the Niners' WAP!

The Cardinals, 35-16. Standing on a corner, Jameis Winston down in Nola, such a fine sight to see.
There's no revenge game, Lord, it's Carr and I'm so bored. At least we got a Jameis INT.
Come on, Kamara. Is that guy staring at you? You better do something about it.
Don't be scared, yeah. We should have practiced that one.
The Bucs go marching 26-9. Come on, Kamara.
Is that guy staring at you? You better do something about it. Don't be scared.
Yeah, come on, Kamara. Look at him.
Look how he's looking at you. Do something about it.
Be a man, Kamara. Be a man.
Be a man. You're in an elevator.
That's what running backs do, Kamara. When your home system or appliance breaks down, American Home Shield will help fix or replace the covered item, no matter its age.

Okay, week four in the books. We are, for everyone who's following along at home, we're going to go through every game, but right now we are watching, taping during the Chiefs sunday night game five minutes left in the in the third quarter and if taylor swift this is her second football game she's ever been to she probably thinks that zach wilson is the greatest quarterback of all time because he is outplaying patrick mahomes it's two things one she probably thinks that zach wilson is a god two probably thinks that Patrick Mahomes stinks.
Yeah. It's crazy.
Like, if you had someone just sit down in this, watch this game, and said, no prior knowledge, who's the best quarterback in the world? Zach Wilson looks like that guy right now. Yeah, I need the Swifties to make a big enough stink to get Patrick Mahomes traded off the Chiefs.
Yes. That would be great.
Yes. Also, my husband cannot throw and catch the ball at the same time.

Yeah.

Also, Jake, I think you might have to look this up because our guy Stathold just texted me this.

The Chiefs are going for the or they might have already gotten or sorry, the Jets have already gotten the cycle of scoring.

They scored a touchdown field goal safety and touchdown with a two point conversion.

Octopus.

The octopus.

Yeah.

Yeah.

They've done it all.

Yeah.

I love scored every single way this game. That's what they should call Taylor Swift's vagina.
Defense specialty. Yeah.
They need to block an extra point for another two. That would actually be the perfect.
Yeah. Get a return touchdown, maybe.
Yeah. Mix it all in there.
Yeah. I think, Big Cat, we need to have the conversation.
Is Taylor Swift a distraction? She's sucking all the energy out of Patrick Mahomes. I just love the word distraction because you can just throw it out there for anything.
But I do think that if there was going to be a distraction, it would probably be the most famous person in the world dating your tight end. Well, we're obviously joking a little bit.
But at the same time, if you're a Chiefs fan, and we'll update this game after it goes final, so maybe it's fine, maybe the Chiefs end up winning by 14, whatever. But you've got to have a little small part of your brain being like, hey, can we just play football and not do every single game be the biggest thing ever because Taylor Swift's at the game? Yeah.
I would try to break him up. I would be showing out because Blake Lively's there.
I think she should be in Blake of the Year next year. Yeah, if I a chiefs fan guy or girl i would just come out and be like yeah me and travis kelsey fucked last night there's there's definitely the element of uh if you lose everything smells bad and if you win everything smells great yeah and so if you lose sneaking out on your team under curfew as will compton said uh to go bang taylor swift at her apartment in manhattan before a big game.
His hips look a little tired.

His hands and fingers look a little tired, Big Cat.

Yeah, he was working overtime.

This also has to just be so confusing for Taylor Swift because she's like,

wait, that team they played last week, they play in the same league?

Yeah.

It makes no sense.

I thought every game was supposed to be 41 to 10.

Yeah, and Rodgers tonight is in a no-win situation either because they keep showing him he's in Woody'sody's box tonight yeah and with jimmy butler yeah with jimmy butler and they keep panning up to him and they pan up to him they like to do it after a bad zach wilson play but recently he's been pretty happy with everything yeah but at first you could tell he knew that the cameras were liable to be on him at any given time so he was just going stone face he might actually be stone but he was purposely not reacting to stuff because he knows like that would be a very funny meme though if it was like zach wilson interception pan to aaron rogers he's like motherfucker yeah but he knows that the cameras are on him so he says that he's going to be back this season still yeah i don't understand that uh but if he is like i said i've said it if aaron rogers plays football in this season i will buy whatever drugs and every weird thing that he does immediately. We're going to do horoscopes on this show before every pod.
We're going to be listening to Dolphins Fuck. There's going to be a low ambient noise underneath the entire podcast.
It'll be Dolphins Fucking. Yeah.
So we'll restore every AWL while they listen to us have incorrect takes. Yeah.
I mean, at that point, you can't argue with success. No.
Or science.

Yeah.

His science.

His science.

His science might be right.

His science might be.

That's what I'm saying.

I will essentially just, my entire life, I'll be like, you know what?

I was wrong.

His science.

I'll get Eliza, the son's girl, to come to the studio and suck the vaccine out of all

of this.

Yes.

Oh, man.

The Jets are running all over him.

Okay.

Let's do some games.

And we will update at the end. Mebs is watching right now intently.
We'll get his thoughts as well. Let's start with the London game because it was the first game.
We all woke up, watched the London game, Jaguars 23, Falcons 7, the Toy Story game. I don't know if you guys tuned in at all to the Toy Story game.
I tuned in with my kids. It was rough at first.
I think the first, I don't know, like maybe five minutes of the game, they couldn't figure it out, and we were just watching Booger, and I don't know who was calling it with him. Drew.
That's just his name, Drew? Drew Carter, my friend. Oh, okay.
Well, we're not on first name basis. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Drew Carter. They were just trying to buy time as they figured out all the technology.
it worked and it was kind of cool they made booger look really short though for some reason yeah how tall is your friend drew jake he's actually pretty tall oh so he's that much he's that much taller than booger you think because they made booger look itty bitty he's a tiny little booger but it was uh it was actually good i mean my i did have a moment where my kids were start where they're rooting i bet on the jaguars they're rooting for the Falcons and I was like stop I'm gonna turn this off right now like we're never watching this again so we corrected that but I think I think the NFL's done it again they found a new we got Taylor Swift audience and now we have like four-year-olds on a Sunday morning watching NFL football as an NFL fan as a not a casual as somebody that was here before all these new pop culture crossovers,

do you feel like the NFL is selling out?

Is the NFL selling out right now?

For the Taylor Swift, yes.

For the kids, I'm cool with because it's just like a way for me to be like,

oh, yeah, we're going to do this as a family.

We're going to watch football.

And we're indoctrinating the youth too, which is always good. And Slinky the dog as the chains on the sideline, that was awesome.

And the claw.

The claw. The claw placing the ball.
I love that. I also love Booger making an ayahuasca reference.
Probably the first time that's been done on Disney. Yes.
But that was cool to see. A lot of people we talked about earlier this week.
More and more people are going to be talking about Big Cat. Taylor Heineke.
Yeah. He's just kind of hanging out there.
Ritter. The back-to-back interceptions was very, very bad.
No, Desmond Ritter sucks. Desmond Ritter sucks.
It's the truth. Like, the Falcons are built a certain way that you can't have a quarterback throw interceptions, and it is painful to watch their offense sometimes because B.
John Robinson was phenomenal again, but Kyle Pitts is essentially – I wonder if – do you think Kyle Pitts wears, like, an Apple Watch or a Fitbit so he can at least at the end of the game be like, all right, well, I got this many steps? Because he's just doing cardio out there. He might be the best decoy of all time.
He's just running routes to air. Does he even take a shower after the game? Probably not.
He comes home from practice or from a game, and his family's like, yo, did you even play today? Your jersey is pristine white right now. It sucks for him because he'll just like, he'll'll break someone's ankles and then the ball will never be thrown his way.
And it's like, okay, well, at least I proved that I'm good, I think. We got to watch the All-22 and see how many times a game he's actually double covered.
Because that's what the diehard Cal Pitt supporters will say. He's being covered the entire time.
He's a decoy and then he opens other things up if he's opening other stuff

up for for the uh offense they're not hitting it it's not working so just they should do the

fuck it cows down there somewhere offense right right and it's just it's it's maddening to watch

uh the falcons offense when it's when it's feeling like that as for the jaguars i i expected them to

have this type of game because it was kind of embarrassing last week start one and two they're

now home in london they feel at home they get to stay there for an entire week at the greenbriar

Thank you. them to have this type of game because it was kind of embarrassing last week start one and two they're now home in london they feel at home they get to stay there for an entire week at the green briar yeah the green briar they're going to the green briar in the middle but yeah trevor lawrence looked good and trevor lawrence dude run more he was killing him with his legs yeah like and you forget that he's pretty fucking athletic and fast yeah i think what this game proved was that i think the jaguars will be just fine.
I think they're going to be very good when it counts, and they'll be fighting for a playoff spot. I don't know if Pete Prisco is correct in saying that they're going to make it to the Super Bowl, but they're a good team.
Yeah, and Calvin Ridley, TD revenge prop. He probably cashed it, actually.
Yeah, congrats. There are like a million places to bet.
It's like a bodega in New York is a betting window in London, I think. Yeah, can you bet on sports if you're in the NFL, if you're overseas? I think he probably could just walk down the street and do it.
Yeah. But yeah, the Jaguars feel like they're back-ish.
Who do they play next week? Bills. Oh yeah, that's right, in London.
Are we sure? Does Desmond Ritter truly, truly suck? Or is he just good enough to keep the Falcons from drafting in the top five and having them draft his replacement over there? No, he sucks. He sucks? He sucks, yeah.
No, I think you need to go to Taylor Heineke. I think Taylor Heineke – I don't know if Taylor Heineke wins this game because, like I said, the Jaguars looked pretty good, especially offensively.
Trevor Lawrence is making good plays, good decisions, but he would have at least kept it closer. The back-to-back interceptions kills you especially when one of those is a pick six I think so Taylor Heineke actually might be that quarterback that I'm describing right now a guy that's always going to be good enough to never put you in a position to draft his replacement yes so will he will he have you like get deep in the playoffs probably not but you're never going to get embarrassed I just this is going to be fun.
I just think that the Falcons, and again, they're 2-2, so it's not. I mean, they were underdogs in this game.
Their season's still, the NFC South, they can still be livened because they've only played one NFC South game. They won it against the Panthers.
But if you are thinking, hey, this is like an 8-9 team, 9-8 team, maybe winning the NFC South, I think you have to make a decision because Desmond Ritter has a ceiling, and somehow his floor has gotten worse. So it's a double whammy.
Yeah, because he used to not throw interceptions. Now he's throwing picks all the time.
Yeah. Okay, next up.
Do you think there are any British Falcons fans? Yeah, there's got to be a couple. Like that root for like English football.
There's got to be a couple. The English national team and also our Falcons fans.
That's got to be the saddest existence ever. Just think about it because there's definitely the NFL started this whole let's go to London all the time.
What like 15, 20 years ago? Feels like the Falcons or the Jack was played 10 games there. Yeah.
The first Five and five. The first overseas game, I believe, was in Mexico.
Yes. And then they went, that was like 2005, 2006.
And then they went to London probably, I'm going to guess like 2007, 2008. So my point is, the Falcons, they went to a Super Bowl.
They had Matt Ryan, Michael Vick in there somewhere. Like that tells you that at least some people picked up the Falcons.
But I would to just do a long form maybe maybe for grit week we can just go find the best english jaguars fans yeah i would love to talk to them you know there was a there's there was different teams you could have chosen does anybody in england i want to have a blake bortles tattoo oh definitely that'd be sick hopefully one of our listeners um 2007 was the first Londonondon game yeah so there's there's been some good falcons teams in there yeah like that that definitely would would would bring on some new fans especially the matt ryan mvp year i would respect a british fan that became a falcons fan yeah sure yeah like you had opportunities to choose the packers could chosen the patriots you could have front run you could have done the steelers thing but no if you choose the falcons like you you are putting your balls on the line for that when you've paid dearly yeah hopefully you picked up the georgia bulldogs as well yep yeah uh okay next up bills 48 dolphins 20 an absolute ass kicking uh a couple things so we talked about this on Friday I felt this coming I did a nuclear missile whale play on this because I just thought the bills were getting disrespected especially at home and remember after week one when everyone wanted us to say that Josh Allen sucks since that moment I'm just going to give you some stats the The last three games, Josh Allen has thrown eight touchdowns, two rushing touchdowns, 76 completion percentage. That's pretty high.
800 yards and one interception. So Josh Allen's still really fucking good.
And he was by far and away the best player on the field today. And he I mean, he was electric.
He was 21 for 25 for 320 yards, hitting Stefan Diggs left and right. And the Bills proved that I still think, I'm still high on the Dolphins.
They're a very good team. But they have issues up front.
And the Bills' pass rush was elite today. And they still don't have Von Miller back.
Obviously, they lost Stradavious White, which fucking sucks. But like Ed Oliver and Greg Rousseau, like the Bills defense, it was it was basically the start of the game 1414.
They were just trading scores. Bills defense made a couple stops and that's that's enough for the for the Bills offense.
Yeah, the defense to me was the story today. Josh was obviously awesome.
He was he was really, really good. And for all the people that wanted to talk window, there was a lot of window talk going on after week one.

Is this the end of the Bills' championship window?

How much more window do we get?

I think the window's wide open.

They've got years of the window.

They're going to be fine.

Josh will be fine.

He stinks against the Jets.

It was a shitty game.

He played awful that game.

But then there's all this talk about trying to pull Josh back to make him play a little bit smarter and not take those chances. No, you just let Josh go out there and you take the good with the bad and let him play like his hair's on fire.
You let him do all the crazy shit because that's what makes him good. And you're right, the Bills' defense was incredible.
I think Vaughn Miller is getting back this week. I think he's starting practice this week.
Yeah, so he's starting practice this week. I think he could maybe be back this weekend the bills are going to get better unfortunately tradavious white that that does suck and and their secondary leaves a little bit to be desired in terms of the corner position but i they went the dolphins went one for nine on scoring drives after those first two touchdowns yeah so they were just they were shut out they were stopped completely and they were doing and the bills were doing what i mean because they have elite defensive players they were essentially you know good linebackers they were saying we're not going to give to his first read we're going to get you know like they had a good pass rush with four and you can see the timing got disrupted for the dolphins and they didn't have those big insane plays like i don't think they had one play that they did maybe run – was it A-Chain or Mostert? A-Chain had a 55-yard run.
At the end in garbage time. But it never felt like the Dolphins were doing the thing where the Dolphins were able to rip off 60-yard plays and completely demoralize your defense.
I think the moral here is you can throw out all your offensive stats from whenever you play against the Broncos. Yeah.
It's just a get-right game. Well, let's keep keep some of them.
Okay, we'll keep this week's, and then two weeks ago, we'll keep those two. All Broncos losses.
No. Yeah, okay, fine.
All right, we'll keep those two. We'll keep this week, and then we'll keep two weeks ago those stats.
Yeah. Because those were different games.
But all Broncos defensive stats away from the Mickey mouse stadium, where only one team is in the sun and the others in the shade. Those are the ones that will, that will keep the rest will throw away.
And just as much as I actually think that the bills losing to the jets week one was actually good for the bills. Cause it woke them up after, you know, a terrible playoff loss.
They come into the season. What's going to be this team? What is this team going to look like? Kind of woke them away, you know, got them awake.
Like, hey, fuck, we got to figure this out. We're the Bills.
We're very, very good. I think this loss is going to be good for the Dolphins because the Dolphins took a step up in class today and the Bills punched them in the fucking mouth and there's nothing they could do about it.
Like that was an absolute an absolute shit-kicking by the Bills. And the Bills kind of reminded them, like, hey, you put 70 on the Broncos.
You're 3-0. Your offense is electric.
You still got work to do to play, you know, our style of football. I think the Dolphins were still tired from running against the Broncos last week.
That's probably true. All that offense probably wore them out.
And we should also say that the Bills are 3-0 ever since their fan got high on lsd yep and fell into the stadium covered in shit facts so numbers never lie i also love that the bills uh listen to us because we are the smartest uh football minds in the world and they have a intermediate passing game now yeah because they're dalton kinkade and dawson knox as a one two as tight as tight ends, they were great. And that part of their game, because they still had the big plays, Stephon Diggs, that was very funny when the Dolphins were like, we'll just not tackle you.
But it feels like the Bills have more of a complete offense right now as we're sitting here. So Diggs had the best touchdown celebration of the day when he grabbed the two beers and stone-cold them.
Oh, so good. Smashed them together.
Probably got so wet. Every time I see that, I just picture dads across America being like, put your mouthpiece in, Stefan.
Oh, I— Because it dangles down to his numbers. That thing hangs down so far.
I think the dads wouldn't say that. I think they would say, that's $35 worth of beer.
Yeah. Like, I paid $100 for parking, $300 for tickets.
You can't take a family of four to a game anymore. No.
Stephon Diggs is going to steal your beer. Yeah, you just wasted that beer.
What are you doing? Diva wide receiver. Damar Hamlin played, too.
That was cool. Yeah, yeah.
Well, his clone. Yeah, his clone played.
His clone played. But no, that was cool that he was back out there.
It was. Yeah, very cool.
See, Jake, I got a question for you. As a Dolphins fan, I'm going to give you like a little bit of a spin zone maybe tell me if i'm right or wrong as a dolphins fan you are happier that you lose this game to the bills early in the season at their place as opposed to if it was later in the season weather's turning cold and the bills just pump the shit out of you yeah Yeah, I mean, I would have preferred a more competitive outcome

because getting crushed is tough.

But you look at the schedule, home against the Giants,

home against the Panthers, and then a date with Max in Philly.

So the Dolphins should get some momentum back

and be 5-1 heading into that.

A date with Max.

Yes.

So when do you play the Bills again?

Week 18.

So it might be an irrelevant game for them. You might also – that's a good time of year to have that game down Miami.
January 7th? Yeah, that's good. I mean, it could be like 50 or 60 degrees.
Yeah, you'd rather do that than go on the road to Buffalo in January and play them. Yeah, definitely.
I wanted revenge of the snowballs today, but. Didn't happen.
No. Also, the Bills Stadium just looks like so much fun when it's nice weather.
Yeah. There's people wearing T-shirts, a little sunburned.
People in Western Buffalo get very sunburned. Oh, because you've got to appreciate the sun when it's up.
Yeah, they're just. You've got to get your sun minutes in.
There's just a couple of those fan shots where a guy, like a big guy with a buffalo wing hat on. Yeah.
He looks like a lobster. You're like, that guy's fucking.
He's living his life because he knows it's knows it's gonna suck yeah i actually find myself thinking that way in chicago like every day where it's 80 i'm like i gotta get my son and i'm probably not gonna see it until march yeah and yeah well april but yeah and actually may uh but yeah that the bills the bills are back to what we thought yeah they look very, very good. And the Dolphins...

Would you...

Jake, who are the Giants, Panthers?

Giants, Panthers, home, home.

Would you lose the Giants and Panthers

to beat the Eagles?

I would maybe take that trade

just so the Dolphins have a test.

It's an extra loss.

Yeah, but if the Dolphins beat the Panthers

and beat the Giants

and they run up the score on them...

They'll have no momentum.

Hold on.

Follow me.

But if they run up the score on both those teams and they play the Eagles and you get the same result as this, the narrative will start, maybe not on this podcast, definitely on this podcast, the Dolphins are a soft football team and they can't beat the big boys. Winning at the Chargers is going to end up looking a little better.
Yeah. No, I think the Dolphins are very good.
Yeah. They have to figure out how to play in a game like this where they have injuries on the defense and they have injuries on the offensive line, so they will get healthier.
I think the Dolphins had a slot corner guarding Stephon Diggs today. That didn't go well.
That will hopefully be Jalen Ramsey in week 17 or week 18. But, yeah, right now the Dolphins, like, that was a step up in class and they didn't answer it.
Not ready for Buffalo yet. Okay.
Good for the Bills, though. I'm happy for the Bills.
Very happy. Okay.
Next up, Eagles 34, Commanders 31, overtime. I didn't really write any notes down because I just figured Max and PFT can get into it.
If you miss the gambling cave, we had a big boy off where we were all just saying that's a big boy drive. That's a big boy play.
And then at the end when the Eagles had an overtime walk off field goal, Max turned to PFT and said, Little you small, and then patted him on the top of the head and walked off. Yeah, we don't have to get into that right now.
A lot of things are said in the unit battle. Screamed at him.
Actually, I have the clip. Okay, no, well, okay.
I'm familiar with the clip. Max took my moves.
I was calling him little boy all day. I was saying we were playing big boy football.
I patted Max on the head, and then patted me on the head after that. That gets lost.
Yeah, it looks more disrespectful than it was. Well, let's just let people hear it.
Missed it? Nope. Got it.
Fuck yeah! Got to win! Little! You! Small! Alright, yeah, that was said. That was said.
A lot of things are said in the heat of battle. I don't necessarily hold it against Max.
He's a big boy himself. He's very, very big.
A lot of people look very small next to Max. I look very small compared to what Max looks like in person, so I could see why he would say that to me.
Also, Max, we kind of egged him on because we've been calling him a pussy for not slapping Stephen Che when he wished injury on Jalen Hurts. Because Max has been talking, you know, Max does his Philly thing where he's like, that would never happen in Philadelphia.
And we told him today, you can't really say that anymore yourself personally because you had the chance to be a Philadelphia scumbag fan and you didn't do it. Turned his back.
Yeah. You've changed.
You got soft. I should have punched my co-worker in the face while i was at work you i would have i would not if dave or erica had said something after i've been like no max had every right to do that you were defending your guy i should have i should have defended my guy that's on me that's on me yeah but as as far as the game goes max um this might sound like loser talk i'm not i'm no longer thinking soupy by the way soupy is not in my brain anymore.
It would have been had we won. I actually think that the Washington Commanders came out of this game looking a lot better, and I'm feeling way better about the season because our defense played relatively well against your offensive line.
Our defensive line looked okay at times. Yeah, we gave up, what, 30? Was it 31 points? What was the final score? It was 34-31.
34-31. We gave up 34 points.
That sucks. Our defense didn't look that bad, but more importantly, Sam Howell looked awesome today.
Agreed. We got good Sam back, so I'm happy with that.
We can work with this. We can work with this.
I was looking at the schedule. I think the Commanders will win 10 games this season.
I think they're on track for 10. I would like to have this one going into Philly, rubbing it right in Max's stupid, stupid face.
It would have been great. Unfortunately, it's not the way it broke down.
And at the end of the game, the Eagles made what turned out to be a very big tactical blunder on that final drive and regulation where A.J. Brown scored what, like a 30-yard touchdown? And the commanders got the ball back with like a minute and a half left on the clock, as opposed to like the Eagles just grinding us down, grinding us down, kicking a field goal.
No times left. We don't get the ball back.
We don't get a chance to win. Sam then marches down the field, puts together what I thought was the equivalent of a game-winning drive.
I want to go for two at the end there. I agree.
You're on the road. Riverboat Ron.
Your name's Riverboat Ron, and you'll go for two there. We had no business winning that game.
Everybody wrote us off ahead of time. We get down.
We score. Great last-second pass to Jahan Dotson, and then just go for two.
You got two yards. I can live with losing if we go for two on the road at the Eagles.
And their defense was gassed because Sam Howell had two touchdown drives in the fourth quarter. Like Sam Howell, that was a great bounce back game for him because he had a terrible, terrible game against the Bills and you're hoping that that doesn't turn into two bad games.
He looked like composed, confident, all those things against a very good defensive line from the Eagles. And yeah, brought them down, scored that last touchdown.

I agree with you, PFT.

You got to go for two there.

Go for two.

Be a winner.

Try to win it on the road.

House money.

It's also like such an easy way.

I know this might be old cliche.

I don't know what the analytics are.

But you can easily tell the fan base, and I would buy this up in a second,

we're over a touchdown underdogs on the road. Yeah.
Go win the win the game right now yeah we had a chance to win the game right then i now i'm not going to complain about the officiating however however the tush push play in overtime your left guard bradbury i mean they were got about a half second a half second jump on the snap half second max i. I've got the screenshots.
The NFL's rigged. It might have been more.
Yeah, it was probably a full second. He was past the defensive line almost by the time the ball was snapped.
I would never blame officiating for a loss. There's a lot more that goes into it, but we would have won the game if it wasn't for the ball.
What about the tush-push earlier in the game where the nose tackle was touching the football and they called an offside on the offense? I'm glad you brought that up, Max, because your boy Jason Kelsey he's got a little habit of moving the ball around. He scoots it.
You're allowed to do that as the center. But he moves it.
Jason Kelsey moves Your hand still can't be on the line of scrimmage. That's why I didn't take any notes.
Jason Kelsey moved the ball on top of Deron Payne's hand. As the center, you're allowed to adjust the football.
You can pick it up and put it on the defensive tackle's hand? If the defensive tackle's hand is on the line of scrimmage, then yes. It seemed like bullshit to me.
And the defensive tackle's helmet was past the line of scrimmage way more than the offensive guard was. It sounds to me like you're making excuses.
You're the one who was making excuses. I'm just firing back to your excuses.
First of all, you were talking about tearing an opponent's ACL last week. Now you're making excuses for your team.
Wrong. Gaslighting.
Gaslighting. Gaslighting.
All right, Bax, I will say this. It was a good game.
It was a good game. If you like football, this was a good football game.
That's what I was going to. It was very fun.
The Eagles were eight and a half point favorites going into that game, won in overtime, and it didn't feel like... Like, the commanders played up to the occasion rather than, like, the Eagles playing down to, like, an eight and a half point dog.
Like, I thought the commanders looked better than the Eagles. Do you question about that? And I agree, it was a very fun game, but are you a little worried about the Eagles defense was it two fourth quarter drives yeah the defense the secondary wasn't great the second the secondary hasn't been great all year there's been holes all over all over the defense new defensive coordinator you gotta just hope that as the year goes on the guy the J.
I mean, Jalen Carter is a great player. The defensive line didn't put the pressure on that I was hoping that they were going to today.
But the positive is Jalen Hurts, best game, best game of the year for sure. People were saying regression, regression, regression.
He, I mean, he really played awesome in the second half. He played from behind a little bit too.
Yeah, which which is nice and that's what I was saying like the commanders played well like they looked like a good football team the Eagles beat a good football team yeah I think we're I think that's fair I think you guys are a very good football team I think we're a good football team yeah for sure I'm an FC beast friendship beast yeah it was a good game it was a very game. And great moments between the two of you.

Little you small.

Oh, and the Jets just fumbled going on a nice drive.

Big time Zach Wilson play.

James is hurting right now.

That sucks.

For a while, I thought Billy was right.

I thought Zach Wilson sealing Patrick Mahomes,

but Patrick Mahomes in this game is a sealing.

I mean, you can build off this if you're Zach Wilson.

You looked a lot more confident in this offense than you've ever looked. OK.
So, Max, you feel OK? Four and oh. I will not apologize for being four now.
No, I don't think so. I think the Eagles are one of the best teams in the NFC East.
OK, that's fair. They are.
They're one of the best teams in the NFC. One of the three best.
Commanders, Eagles, Cowboys. Yep.
Eagles, Cowboys are going to be biblical this year. It's going to be great.
Yeah, it'll be great. Do you play the 49ers? Yes.
Ooh. That's going to suck for you.
You know that. We have that gauntlet in the middle of the season.
Oh, yeah. That's when you've got to buy on the Eagles.
Yeah. We'll get to the 49ers because updating our what is it? Skip Bayless? Or Colin Coward? Who does the Super Bowl was played today? Skip.
The Niners are my Super Bowl champ if the Super Bowl was played today. Oh, not mine.
No, I got the Bills. Oh, you have the Bills? Yeah, Niners.
They had a little scare against the Birds. The Card Birds.
The Niners haven't played anyone. The played the Rams.
They played the Steelers.

They played... Giants.

Yeah, Cardinals.

Yeah, but they're killing people.

They're killing them.

Yeah, it's easy to kill bad teams.

Okay.

Sunday night, Niners to Cowboys.

Yeah.

All right.

Ooh.

Whose line is it anyway for that?

Cowboys at Niners?

The football game is in San Francisco. I'm going to say four.
Five and a half. It's actually 40 minutes outside San Francisco.
Santa Clara. I'm going to say it's Niners four and a half.
Three and a half. That's going to be a great game.
Great game. Niners.
Niners. Niners.
My model just said four, so that's a half a point of value. Yeah.
Okay. Next up.
Titans 27, Bengals 3. Boy, did I get this one wrong.
Turns out the Titans still are the Vrabel Titans. Derrick Henry is still Derrick Henry.
He had 122 yards. He also threw a touchdown.
And this was like an old-school Mike Vrabel, the Titans suck, punch you in the mouth, play incredible defense, win, where it was never even close. And, yeah, I don't know what to make of the Titans.
Maybe they'll just be this team forever where it's like if they're favorites, bet against them. If they're underdogs, bet on them.
And if they're coming off a loss, bet on them. If they're coming off a win, fade them.
That's just what this team does. They always kind of regress to the mean.
And when they're, like, pissed off playing for something, they're nasty to play. I think they're 2-0 at home now, right? So it might just be a home versus away thing for them.
Yeah, that new turf. It looked like Tractor Cito's season got started today.
Yes. Because he was running through people, punching people in the necks, stiff arms.
I was wrong about the cliff. And Tractor Cito also, I looked up his career passing stats.
Lifetime, five for six. So that's an 83% completion percentage.
And he's got two touchdowns. His passer rating is 122.2.
Wow. Pretty good.
Pretty good. That's really good.
And, yeah, and the Titans defense was lights out today. They had the best celebration today.
Did you see the drumline? Yes. All 11 guys went on the field and did a drumline celebration.
It was fucking sick. Yeah, outside of the first drive by the Bengals, which was a field goal drive, they didn't let any other drive until garbage time go for more than 30 yards.
Yeah. So if you're a Bengals fan, you're probably thinking panic button right now.
I think you're hitting the panic button. Okay.
So you're doing the FaceApp thing where you do Apple Pay. It just scans your face your face you're not pressing any buttons yeah but your your face is positioned directly in front of the button so two things can be true at the same time and we are friends with joe burrow we love joe burrow uh but two things can be true at the same time he's he's injured yeah he's very injured he has sucked this year he has like and i think a lot of it is the injury i i honestly think if you watch this game you realize that teams know Joe Burrow can't move the way that he can move if he's healthy they were they had no no problems blitzing him they knew that he wasn't gonna be able to beat him with his legs he has uh through this year I think he has five rushes for two yards he's not obviously a mobile quarterback but I think last year was like 75 rushes for 300 yards.
So he's one of those quarterbacks that when he needs to get the first down, when he needs to extend a play, he can with his feet. Right now he can't.
And my question is, like, is it worth it playing him right now? Because it has been bad. This is the second time this year they've scored three points, not been able to get in the end zone.
And I feel like he's a tough-ass dude that has a lot of pride, but at some point maybe try to get healthy and sneak into a wild-card spot because right now it doesn't look good. So when you ask, like, is it worth it for him to be playing, there's like two things that go into it.
One, is he better than the alternative?

I don't know right now.

It's close.

I know.

Because he is, and people are going to be like,

you're making excuses for him.

It's just a fact that he's injured and he's playing.

And he can't move.

You can see the way that he moves in the pocket.

It's not the same Joe Burrow.

Yeah, like if you were to tell me Joe Burrow six weeks from now with like full rest, if he didn't play football at all,

if he were to go out on the field and look a lot better than he does right now, yes, he way better but the fact is he's injured it's his decision to play through it so we have to judge him on that and he's he stinks right now I'm not so sure that his backup wouldn't be better than him and then the second thing is like are you risking re-injury or more or more severe injury by playing on this and I think he probably is but he's still doing it um I would take the keys out of his hand. I would be like, hey, just sit out for a little bit, man.
Yeah. No, I really would.
Because I don't think – it's just not good right now. Like, it doesn't look good.
It doesn't look fluid. He's not able to make the same throws.
They're not able to push the ball downfield. And we might have a Diva wide receiver watch on our hands here.
We do. With Jamar Chase after the game.

They asked him if he was open.

He goes, I'm always fucking open.

Yes.

Dude's Waffle House.

So, he's always open.

I don't think that Jamar Chase...

I think Jamar Chase is frustrated at one and three.

I do think Jamar Chase and Joe Burrow are good friends.

I also think Jamar Chase probably really wants his new contract Yeah Because that, like, this is a human element to the game of football and a locker room Joe Burrow got paid a lot of money He deserves every dollar of that Jamar Chase is still on his rookie deal I think Joe Burrow probably made What was Joe Burrow's signing bonus? And Joe Burrow is a quarterback, so obviously he's going to get more money than Jamar Chase, but I think Jamar Chase is like, hey, I want some money too. 40.
40. So that's more money than Jamar Chase has made in his career or will make right now on his current contract.
His current contract if he makes it all is $30 million. So like, I think that app absolutely plays into it.
And I don't think it's a big, I don't think it's this big issue. Like they're not on the same page.
I'm just speaking from Jamar Chase's point of view. I'd probably be frustrated too.
It's more that, that to me was not like Joe Burrow got to hit me. It's more like, I got to, like, I want to get paid.
Well, the thing is like, okay, when we talk about Diva wide receivers,

we're saying that we want more Diva wide receivers back.

Yeah, people get confused by that.

We want more Diva wide receivers because we miss having the real psychos out there

that just like take their helmets off and quit at halftime.

And the true Diva wide receivers are also the best wide receivers in the league.

Yes, that's true.

Because they get that because it's like, guess what?

You get to say these things because you are unstoppable.

And Jamar Chase is unstoppable.

And when he said, I'm open, I'm always open.

I mean, receivers in the league yes that's true because they get that because it's like guess what you get to say these things because you are unstoppable and jamar chase is unstoppable and we said i'm open i'm always open uh he's always fucking i'm always he apologized i'm always fucking open yes okay is that no comma in there no comma okay so i didn't sense a comma as being always fucking open uh i actually think that he's probably right he probably is always open and he didn't seem like he was saying it to call out Burrow or to call out the offense or anything like that.

He was just like, yeah, I'm open.

He's just being truthful.

I'm always open.

And T. Higgins did get hurt, which obviously hurt them.

But no, the Bengals were never winning this game.

I really do think, who do the Bengals have coming up?

That's the question.

It's like, when is their bye week?

They have at Arizona.

So if they lose that.

They have to win that game. Yeah, and then home against Seattle and then an early bye.
Okay. So early-ish.
Yeah. I mean, I think that's a question of like, can you beat the Cardinals with Jake Browning? And then you have the Seahawks at home.
I don't know. And they have Niners bills back to back.
Right. So why wouldn't you get Joe Burrow healthy to try to win games that are going to be very very difficult to win well because now you can't play around with any games that you could possibly lose against beatable teams right but if you put out joe burrow and he's hurt yeah and you lose one of these next two and he stays hurt and then you have to play the niners and the bills back to back like i do think this is truly panic time for the for the.
I know that I have, like, a ton of trust. Oh, Patrick Mahomes just threw his third pick of the night, but it's coming back.
I have a ton of faith in the Bengals as a team, and that's why 0-2 I was like, don't panic. But the fact that Joe Burrow is playing this way and he's injured, it's panic time.
I've watched a lot of tape on Jake Brown, and you know that. I watched the All-22.
I would say stardom against the Cardinals. I would say stardom against the Seahawks.
And then Joe back. I agree with you.
We concur. We concur on this.
University of Washington, Jake Brown. Who's their second backup? Why don't they have, like – why isn't A.J.
McCarron still there? Do you have what, Brandon Allen? He was on the team for a little bit. I think he's on the Bills now maybe.
I think they only carry two active now because of that new rule, the 53. McCarron's on the practice squad.
Oh, McCarron's on the practice. Start A.J.
McCarron. They have that emergency rule we talked about.
A.J. McCarron can beat the Cardinals.
A.J. McCarron is one of those guys.
Actually, if I were the Bengals, what I would do is I would start A.J. McCarron against the Cardinals, then start Jake Browning against Seahawks.
Because A.J. McCarron doesn't have two wins in him.
He's got one, though. And then maybe Jake Browning has one in him.
So that's how you do it. That's actually will knowing that the bengals probably won't pay us

for this consulting fee uh we will take one suite for the afc championship game after you follow our plan and win these two games and get joe burrow healthy that's a deal all right so bengals back on track put the panic button away you're back on track uh okay let's take a break and then we'll do our next games.

Okay, next up, we have the Rams 29, the Colts 23. Is this a game where both teams won? Go on.
The Rams won the game. The Colts are tough motherfuckers.
Yeah, the Rams won the game. The Colts won the game because Anthony Richardson in the second half

brought the Colts back from a 23-0 deficit

after not looking great in the first half.

And I continue to be impressed with the Colts coaching staff.

And I feel like the Colts, this was a moral victory

with a young quarterback and a young team and a new coach

being like, hey, we can get punched in the mouth

and we'll keep on coming.

We'll keep coming.

You know why they keep coming.

Oh, yeah. victory with a young quarterback and a young team and a new coach being like hey we can get punched in the mouth and we'll we'll keep on coming yeah keep coming they're keeping you know why they will always keep coming anthony richardson's a big load yes he'll keep he is a big load and he will come right on hank yeah hank was right was right about anthony richardson hank was right he might be so cj stroud i think has definitely shown himself to be um like the top of that class right now anthony richardson is more fun to watch though, though.
Yeah, but I really do think this was a double win. A rare double win in the NFL.
Yeah, well, I'm going to give a loss to Jim Irsay. Okay.
He has to wear this loss. Okay.
Colts are now 0-2 at home. Early in the season, Jim Irsay has elected to close the roof on both of those games.
You only get a couple windows here if you're the Colts to have the roof and the window open. And Irsay was like 75 degrees in Indy today.
It was a beautiful day. You got to keep it open.
You got to keep that window open. You got to keep it open.
They win that game with the roof open. Yeah, but yeah, Anthony Richardson's very fun to watch.
Got through this game healthy, which is great. I want to see more of him, not less of so very happy to seem healthy after this one and then puka nakua oh puka nakua not only is it extremely fun to say but he is an awesome awesome receiver i hated him at byu and i love him now yeah i only hated him at byu because he was always injured and they would always play with the injury report and be like is he playing is he not is he and he's that good that it was worth a lot should we start nakuanan nakuanan he's so good i know it's also coaching like this is we say it a million times but getting drafted to the right organization to the right team to the right coaching staff is such a big part of a lot of these guys career but puka nakua is the real deal he had nine catches for 163 yards and a touchdown.

How many catches does he have?

He's setting all the records so far.

He has so many – he's so goddamn good.

And I also think that Matthew Stafford, Puka Nakua, I'm looking it up right now, he has how many catches?

39 receptions.

39 receptions.

And Quan Bolden and his 30 receptions in 2003 for most ever by a player in his first four NFL games. Four games, 39 receptions.
That's insane. Cooper Cup coming back will probably eat into that a little bit, but still, Puka Nakua, real deal.
Good drafting by the Rams. I also think Matthew Stafford is the top quarterback.
If you had to pick any quarterback, he has taken the big Ben mantle of has to get hurt to, to, to like play even better because he got hurt today. I think he got stepped on or something.
He got, he got tangled up and he's maybe the toughest guy in the NFL. Yeah.
He, he kind of likes getting shakeup. He does.
He likes, he likes having like some kind of limp. Do you remember that arm hanging down? Yeah.
that game when he was on the Lions. Against the Browns.
His shoulder was separated, and they had him on the sidelines. He literally shoved the trainers off him.
It was like, get away from him and get back in this game. Then he throws the winning touchdown.
Yeah, he's just a tough motherfucker. So, yeah, double win.
I'm counting this as a double win. I think that's fair to say.
Yeah, if you're the Colts, you're probably not expecting to go to the playoffs this year. You're probably expecting to fight.
You're 2-2. Your team looks like they're tough.
Your coach looks like he's competent. Yeah.
So that's good. And then Anthony Richardson obviously looks like he's going to be a lot of fun to watch.
Yeah, and it also is how the game flow goes. Like, if the Rams had lost this game, I would have counted that as a double loss for the Rams.
Because if you're up 23-0 on the Colts, you should win that game. If you're down 23-0 to the Rams, you should definitely lose that game.
They did, but they went to overtime, double win. That's how it works.
It's a double win game. A statement loss.
Yes, a statement loss. The Colts, like you said, they're not going to go to the playoffs.
You just want to see Anthony Richardson play well, stay healthy, their coaching staff be competent, which they've shown that in an exceeding fashion. And they're doing this without Jonathan Taylor.
Yeah. And so his pup thing, I don't know how the pup really works.
I just read today that he's got a 21-day practice window to return. Okay.
So they're going to try to get him back on the team. I feel like he probably is going to come back.
He's like, hey, we're 2-2. We're not bad.
We're not as bad as we thought we'd be. Okay.
Unless the Eagles get him. Yeah.
Next up, Broncos 31, Bears 28. The Bears are 0-4.
The Bears have 14 straight losses. The Bears are the first team in NFL history to allow 25 points or more in 14 consecutive games.
The Bears are a dumpster fire. I don't know.
I don't feel as much pain as I thought I would. It sucked.
Justin Fields was phenomenal today. Like, he was not the reason why the Bears lost.
Matt Eberflus is the reason why the Bears lost. Matt Eberflus is a fucking bonehead idiot and a bad coach.
And I want the Bears to keep him employed for the rest of the year because it's clear we're going to tank. You're talking about the field goal? Yeah.
Well, so for people who didn't see the game, the Bears were up 28-7. I knew it deep down.
I was sitting next to Chief who was a Bears fan as well, one of our coworkers. When it got to 28-14, we both said to each other, this is about to be a game.
Also, not fair. Sean Payton cut his sleeves off mid-game, totally changed the juju.
It was 28-14. He cut off his sleeves.
That should be illegal. That should have at least been a penalty.
It's a uniform violation. It's a uniform violation.
Yeah, so the Bears, it was 28-7. The Broncos come all the way back.
Justin fields did have a bad fumble he was he didn't see the guy coming uh so it was 28 21 and then they scored a scoop and score the broncos to make it 28 28 so reset the bears go down two and a half minutes left fourth and one on the broncos 18 mattie perflu is a defensive coach he was hired because of his defense they They invested in the defense. And he said, I don't trust my defense.
Oh, and he's calling the defensive plays now. So it's him.
He's got his hands all over the defense. Why? What happened here, D.C.? We just wish him.
No, we don't even wish him well. Yeah, he's HR.
Referred to HR. He's left.
He mysteriously left. He goes forward on fourth and one on the 18.
Instead of going up three with two and a half minutes left and playing defense and saying, let's win this game on defense. Going forward is stupid.
Going forward in shotgun handoff is the dumbest thing you could possibly do. It was Matt Iberfuss and Luke Getze being like handshake.
Let's be the dumbest motherfuckers alive. I do feel really bad for Justin Fields.
We talked about him being a broken guy. There was reports that he was still in his entire uniform 30 minutes after the game in the locker room, just sitting there while everyone had already cleared out.
Yeah, the report is Justin Fields looks stunned in the locker room, still had his uniform on 30 minutes after the end of the game. Most of his teammates were gone.
sitting at his locker just staring off that's sean hammond's reported that yeah sean hammond's oh patrick mahomes with an all-time kneeling it at the two-yard line if anyone had patrick mahomes score a touchdown you want to cry for the spread i had my picks minus eight and a half so i was i did to did too. Mahomes.
Wow. Score a touchdown.
Think of the betters, Mahomes. Okay, so back to the play.
Shotgun, handoff, up the middle, stuffed. Broncos go down and kick a field goal.
So your defense actually played pretty well. They gave up a big play, but they held them to a field goal.
Bears lose the game, 14 straight losses. Matt Eberflus, it's not even a question.
The question is, are people going to want him fired right now? I still think you should keep him just because if the goal is to lose, he has proven he is the greatest head coach ever at losing. But yeah, I was more demoralized for Justin Fields because Justin Fields was incredible.
First 300-yard passing game, four touchdowns. He looked great.
He looked confident. He was hitting everyone down the field.
All the good things. I know it's the Broncos defense.
Matty Bufloos is a fucking moron. And don't get me wrong.
I'm not going to flip and be like, Justin Fields is back to being the guy. I know Justin Fields isn't the guy.
This loss was on Matt Eberflus. You just want to see Justin happy.
He was happy today. Justin Fields was smiling.
He looked happy in the first half. It was a tough loss, especially considering it's against the Broncos, who stink.
And then added on to all that was the Chase Claypool thing, the fiasco. So Chase Claypool watched the game from home today.
the game was over they asked eberflus so wait was it his choice to stay home or did you tell him to stay home for this game and he goes yeah it was a choice it was his choice yeah because he he wasn't going to play today but eberflus was saying like you have the choice of watching here and being a healthy scratch here or you can watch at home he said it was a choice and then afterwards the bears pr had to issue a statement correcting it saying that chase claypool was instructed to stay home for the game yes so they told him i'm gonna i think i know what it's worse than that go on worse than that okay matt eberflus on friday uh said that chase claypool was they asked if uh equimani. Brown was going to play.
He's like, we don't know. You know, there's been no change.
While he was doing that, Chase Claypool said the comment about how, are they using you correctly? He said no. Saturday night, Matt Eberflus tells the team that Chase Claypool is not going to play.
And then he also on Sunday that his comments had nothing to do with it right so it was so clear that he has no idea how to answer questions one the basic questions you're the head coach he has no idea how to deal with the locker room he has no idea how to like it's just an absolute clusterfuck nice guy I'm not even not even like, we had him on the show.

He was a nice guy.

He's not a head coach.

He's not a head coach. So I think knowing coaches as I do, what probably happened was Iberflus was like,

he made the choice to say that sort of thing when I had told him, like,

you can't be causing a scene.

You can't be saying anything against the team.

You have to be like the most studious practice player that we we have you have to be doing all the small things right and then he made the choice to say they're not using me right and so Ibraflues was like that's his choice now he's at home right so like it was not his choice to stay home from the game but in Ibraflues's mind that's twisted around six ways to Sunday he's like oh well he made the decision to break one of the rules that I gave him therefore he made his choice to stay home yes it's like your parents like your parents like oh no actually uh it's his choice to stay in his room because he did not do his homework last week right and we had discussed the ramifications of not doing your homework right it's just it's a it's a clown show organization it's it's a joke uh they have the number one pick right now. The Panthers also lost.
They have the number one and number two pick. I went into this game, especially up 28-7.
I was like, ooh, what if they win? And what if we win on Thursday? And, you know, who knows? Just tank. Just lose every game.
At this point, just lose every game because you've got to change everything. And I know that this is like the 10th time they've changed everything after lovey and but i don't know it's and i know it's nothing's going to actually change because it's the organization as a whole that's the problem like it's you keep trying to put a band-aid on a terminal illness and it's not going to fix it but it's at some point you just got to keep doing band-aids because I don't know what else to do.
I know it won't fix anything, but I'll take a new Band-Aid because it will make me feel better for a little bit. It's really going to be a battle of the Titans.
Caleb Williams against the Bears franchise. Which force is stronger? No, Andy.
Oh, yeah, yeah, right. Like, who can ruin? Yeah, like, can he ruin? Is Caleb Williams good enough to not be ruined by the Bears? Listen, I know that this is – like this is – Justin Fields is screwed by the Bears.
Like I don't know if he's going to have a career after the Bears, but just look at C.J. Stroud.
Look at Anthony Richardson. Look at some of these guys and the setup they get and the coaching they get and the team and the organization.
It's just a completely different situation this is a clusterfuck the second you step in the door so yeah i don't know like i said get jim harbaugh i'm rooting i'm it's so bad i'm rooting for michigan to win the national title so that jim harbaugh can then become the guy i actually just stuff all the dorks in a locker and be like we're playing man i actually think that jim harbaugh coming into the Bears would be a great thing because he would just straight up tell Virginia McCaskey,

like, fuck off.

Yeah, he would just be like, this is my team now

and we're going to run it my way

and we're going to be good

and you can stop being embarrassed about this organization

and in four years, when you're pissed off at me

and we've gone to some NFC Championship games,

I'll just be like, I told you so.

And then I'll quit.

And then I'll quit.

Yeah, and I'll go back to college and dominate.

And dominate again

because I'm a really good head coach. But yeah, I don't really have anything else than that.
It's just a clusterfuck. I really do feel bad for Justin Fields today because he's had bad games this year.
He's not looked good this year. I don't think he's a long-term answer.
Today was undoubtedly not his fault. Yeah.
It just wasn't his fault. The scoop and score is pretty bad.
It was bad, but

he put the Bears in a position

like they're, again, defensive

head coach, invested in the defense.

I think the Bears have like two sacks this year.

Not kicking a field goal to go up in that game

is just crazy. It's crazy.

Insane. Insane.

That's a move you make

when you're up like seven

and you say, let's just not give them the ball back. Not when you're tied and you can easily get a chip shot field goal.
Take a lead with two minutes left in the fourth quarter. It's so easy to do.
As for the Broncos, they're still bad. That was, I mean, they just beat the worst team.
Yeah, I would agree with that. And they had to come back from 28-7.
The only good thing about the Broncos today is you didn't lose. Yeah.

You didn't lose to the Bears.

Somebody had to lose this game.

Yeah.

Someone had to lose this game.

Well, a tie would have been great, too.

But, yeah, the Broncos, I guess they're just good to get a win.

Sean Payton gets to kind of relax a little bit, maybe.

You're right, though.

Cutting off the sleeves, that is kind of bullshit.

It was bullshit.

It changed the future.

If a player does that, Roger Goodell puts an envelope in his locker and he fines him 35 000 that's a fact think about it fact um shotgun fourth and one fourth and one shotgun yeah i don't i saw that when i went to i went to nebraska uh michigan on saturday and nebraska did fourth and one shotgun it never don't you have to you get go from getting one yard to now having to get five yards. I always hate shotgun runs in general.
Not, not even talking like just short yardage plays. If you're running the ball, a shotgun to me, it always just looks like the running back gets a so much slower start.
Running out of shotgun works when it's a light box and you got to, everyone split out wide a draw and you're like, there's no one in the box and you know that you'd be able to play you know man man blocking hat on hat football that i'm cool with that the shotgun everyone is standing right at the line of scrimmage they're like we know they're gonna run this right up the middle let's do fucking five yard shotgun so stupid the shotgun run is the goat play when it's third and 17 and you need 12 yards what if this is a fucked up fucked up thought I've had. What if there's actually like a pact between Ryan Poles and Matt Iberfuss like we're trying to tank, and Matt Iberfuss is actually the best coach of all time.
And he's been wrong on purpose? Like he's losing these games in such perfect fashion that it's like he actually is an incredible head coach this is some next level cope yeah like

let's do the shotgun play on on fourth and one when we play the bucks and we have the ball down three let's run the same running back draw three times in a row for a pick six so you're taking the angle of he'd have to be an awesome like the best coach ever to purposely do all the wrong things all the time right because you would have to know what the right things to do would be correct to select all the wrong correct he's actually a genius secret genius yeah he's taking you can see

it he's actually so he's so bad that i'm actually it's like a bad good circle and we're getting right back to the middle yeah where we're meeting i'm gonna let you believe that no i don't your mental health but i could i could definitely believe that i'm gonna think this more. I'll get back to everyone on Friday.
Yeah. This could be.
You're fine. Yeah, no, this will be fine.
Bears are back. This will be fine.
Should we talk about the Chiefs game real quick? Patrick Mahomes, an all-time scumbag move. Going down for her.
The line is eight and a half, and he goes down at the one-yard line, easy touchdown. Correct football move.

I know Patrick Mahomes doesn't care about people who bet on him.

He cares about winning football games.

He's really fucking good at that.

But, yeah, this game was Zach Wilson's coming out party.

I guess so.

It was.

In a loss.

Good news for the Chiefs. You won a game where Patrick Mahomes played probably as poorly

as he'll ever play for you.

Yeah.

He was bad tonight.

Actually, should we talk about that? We should find somebody out there because I'm sure there are some people that hate Patrick Mahomes played probably as poorly as he'll ever play for you. Yeah.
He was bad tonight. Actually, should we talk about that? We should find somebody out there because I'm sure there are some people that hate Patrick Mahomes.
He throws a lot of very interceptable balls that don't get picked off, right? Because either it's like a no-look thing, the receiver or the cornerback doesn't see it coming, or they're just like, oh, holy shit, Patrick Mahomes threw a bad pass. And they get nervous at the last second.
Yes. Because they can't believe they're about to intercept Patrick Mahomes.
Yes. I think he gets away with a lot of interceptions.
Now they're figuring out how to actually catch him. Yeah, I agree with you.
Has this always been Patrick Mahomes? He's just been very lucky. Yeah, he's just the luckiest quarterback ever.
Memes is coping so bad he just texted us a hold screenshot. Memes, would you like to speak? This was a very promising loss.
Yeah, for sure. But the thing I texted you was Jermaine Johnson just getting mugged on the play.
Oh, okay. So what do you want us to do with this? I don't know.
I don't know. That's just me coping with it.
But he was getting mugged on the play, and they didn't call anything. He also did illegal hands to the face, would have offset, have offset then they would have brought back that's the Patrick Mahomes run that he got like 35 yards on so memes is this kind of bad for you though because they the the coaching staff essentially said like Zach has another opportunity to prove himself if he doesn't do anything then like they kind of put the word out there we're gonna look somewhere else right and I feel like Zach Wilson did enough tonight tonight to make zach wilson stay around he played so good he was 28 for uh 39 245 yards two touchdowns he was good he was good tonight yeah he was awesome and then you could kind of see in the third quarter the wheels were falling off a little bit uh the coaching staff just doesn't play Brees Hall for some reason,

and they stick with Dalvin Cook, which I hate.

Brees Hall ran for like 50 yards.

They get all the way down there.

They put Dalvin Cook in.

Dalvin Cook runs for three yards, and then they do two cheap outplays,

and then they punt it away.

It was bullshit.

And Zach Wilson dropped that snap.

And he dropped the snap.

And there was a hold.

There was a hold.

They called holding on.

Are you going to cry?

I might.

They called holding on Sauce Garner.

That was bullshit.

You feel like you have a cry in your throat right now.

Sauce Garner was bullshit.

I'm so upset.

Do you think that the NFL saw all these Jets games on the schedule

and they're like, we have to do everything possible

to get Taylor Swift to come show up so that people watch this game. I think so, but people would have watched either way.
The memes went old school. It was like sitting with your dad.
He was just in the other room, and he was just screaming, run the fucking football. And then before the game, he was like, start the fucking game.
Yeah. Enough of this.
I mean, they were just showing the voice for four minutes before the game. That was bullshit.
It was bullshit. Carson Daly interrupted my Sunday night football.
This is why I fight for the NFL. People don't realize, like, first they take our Sunday night football, and we said nothing.
Like, this is – Taylor Swift is a problem for the NFL. We have to unite as a group of fans.
We can't let this happen. She's bad for football.
She's got to stop going to games. What's their next Chiefs game? I hope it's in...
Fuck. At Minnesota.
All right, she's not going to go that game, is she? No. I think she starts her international tour soon.
Good. Go.
Get out of here. Scram.
You know what? All right, I'll say this. If Travis Kelsey and Taylor Swift release a sex video I'll consummate this relationship and be like fine you guys can have sex you can be boyfriend girlfriend I don't buy it until I see some dick in vagina I'm saying that right now is she pregnant PNV I haven't seen her drinking at these games I saw her drinking some juice PN P and V, otherwise, it's not really.
Drinking some juice. Yeah.
Anyone with me? Should we demand it? I want to see P and V. I want to see insertion.
I want to see P and A. P and A or P and V or P and M.
Yeah, P and M. That's good.
I'll even take H on P. Hand? Yeah, I'll take a hand job.
I'll see a hand job.

That's fine.

Give us a Lauren Bobbitt.

Is that her name?

Bobbert.

Bobbert.

Yeah.

Give us a Lauren Bobert, and I will be like, you know what?

These two lovebirds, they can't get their hands off each other.

It's fine.

Until that happens, I think it's fake, and I think it's for clicks,

and I think Taylor Swift is using the NFL to try to make her star bigger.

I think I would see some TF.

I would see some TF.

I would see TF.

Max.

Either way,

good game, memes.

You fought hard.

They fought real hard

and then we got the Broncos

next week

so hopefully we can shrink

back-to-back good weeks together.

Yeah.

You almost said wins. Back-to-back good weeks together.
You almost said wins.

Back-to-back good games.

Good games.

Oh, Hackett revenge game.

Hackett revenge game.

Oh, that's going to be awesome.

That will be awesome.

Hackett revenge game.

Also, Memes, just perspective.

Just go with the Bears as the measuring bar for the worst team in the NFL.

You guys are way better than the Bears.

I mean, if the defense shows up in the first quarter.

Yeah, you're way better than the Bears.

You're nowhere near the bottom of the NFL. The Chiefs scored three points in the second half.
That's good. I know.
That's real good. You're way better than the Patriots.
We'll get to that. Well, they did play head-to-head last week.
No, but Skip Bayless rules. Oh, yeah, true.
If the Patriots-Jets Super Bowl was today, I think the Jets win the Super Bowl. I'd agree with that.
If they played it today, I'd agree with that. Yeah.
But actually, no. The Patriots still win that.
The Patriots win 12-9 in perfect conditions, in a dome. Okay, next game.
Vikings-Panthers. Vikings.
So, I didn't realize this. Our guy Stath hole sent this to me.
I wish I had said this on Friday. Do you know that the last time there was an Owen three off, which we had today between the Vikings and the Panthers and the bears and the Broncos was 2020 and the Vikings and the Broncos both won.
I did not know that the Vikings and the Broncos both won the Owen three off in 2020. The Vikings and the Broncos both won the 0-3 off in 2020.

The Vikings beat the Texans.

The Broncos beat the Jets.

Both teams won again today. So if that ever happens again, Jake, put a reminder,

if the Broncos and the Vikings are 0-3 and play another 0-3 team,

we have to bet the Vikings and the Broncos.

Parlay.

It's also Kirktober.

It is Kirktober.

So let's not forget about Kirktober.

Cousins is now with the Vikings 16 and 5 in the month of october yeah so let's see who they have next here oh it's the chiefs uh but then the bears 49ers and packers oh so kirktober might go a little sideways this year who knows but uh yeah don't bet against kirk cousins in october yeah and that's the rule also welcome to the 2023 season Vikings defense. Yeah.
You finally have showed up. Scoop and score.
Blanked the Panthers in the second half. They are the reason why they won this game.
Yeah. Which is nice because Kirk Cousins was like not – he was not the reason they were losing games.
So it's nice the defense picked up a win. Yeah, Kirk also had the play of the day today.
He threw an interception at the one-yard line, and then he hustled his ass like 90 yards downfield, ran his fast. I didn't know that Kirk Cousins could move that fast.
It was incredible. Took a good angle, and then yada, yada, yada, and they ended up scoring the touchdown.
Yep. Kirk took the biggest shot that I've ever seen.
So bad. He just got run.
That's got to suck so bad to sprint 90 yards and then get hit by a dump truck. Yeah, just go – just do a fake – if you're a quarterback, like try to find a guy, a cornerback closest to you and do like a fake block, like get blocked a little bit.
Do you know how like sometimes if a defensive player will hit the quarterback late and then they'll pretend that they got hurt too to get some sympathy, maybe not get kicked out of the game. Do you think that Kirk Cousins feels any better or a quarterback feels better when they throw a pick like that and then they sprint and get absolutely destroyed because everyone's like, oh, Kirk, are you okay? Is the first thing.
Not, God damn it, Kirk, that was such a bad interception. Yes.
I was worried about Kirk. Yeah, I was worried about Kirk as well.
The Panthers are bad.

Steve Smith's going to owe us some hats, I believe.

What was the over-under?

Four and a half?

Something like that.

Yeah.

I think we are, fingers crossed, on a collision course for two winless teams when the Bears and Panthers play later on in the season.

What week is that?

So that is week 9 or 10. The Panthers play the Lions.
Oh, what week is that? So that is like week, looks like week 9 or 10.

The Panthers play the Lions.

What's the Thursday night game?

Is it?

Here.

Thursday, November 9th.

Oh, my God.

There might not be anyone in the stands.

At Lions, at Dolphins.

Then they do play at home against the Texans and Colts.

So those are winnable games.

But there's a chance we could get the 0-4 ball.

Yeah, what are we thinking about Bryce right now?

Be honest.

I'm going Panthers fan, the doubt would be creeping in. I'd be starting to think we made the wrong choice.
I still think he's very good. He's just so small.
He's so small. Small, you, little.
Yeah, yeah. It just dawned on me, PFT, by the way, this Thursday night game, Bears Commanders has set up to a complete, like, you have a no-win situation on your hands.
Oh, I know. I know.
Like, if you don't win this game. Yeah.
It's my first time back at FedEx in 12 years. Wow.
I've got built up i'm so excited hopefully meet josh yes so yeah i'm not gonna be able to make it because we're doing surviving barstool uh the week after so i'm gonna be gone for my family for nine days so being like hey i want to go to a football game too two days before didn't really fly but pft will be at the game we're gonna do the show before and then we'll tape uh about the game afterwards there is it is a loop like you are to bet it's a tattoo bet but you are like if the bears find a way to win this game you're you're in hell i mean i'm in big hell you're in hell so everyone listens to this podcast when the bears suck or like when something bad happens to one of our teams i mean the bears only that's that's usually when we get the most amount of downloads on this podcast so you are sickos and you're perverts. I actually think that if the Bears beat the Commanders while I'm in D.C.
on an island, smiling it up, just living it up in D.C. Commanders are back.
If I'm so happy about that stuff, and then the Bears end up finding a way to win on Thursday night, I think the Sickos will actually download and listen to that podcast, Yeah. Just like they would a very, very bad Bears loss.
Yeah, this is 16 versus one. Yeah.
Well, no. No, it is.
We're not a one seed. No, you are.
No, no, we're not a one seed. In the world of Bears, yes.
No, no, we're not a one seed. Don't do that.
It's bad enough already. I don't need you gaslighting people.
Bears are fairly Dickinson. No one believes in us.
No, no. I would say.
Let's go, boys. Let's win one.
I would say the commanders... Let's shock the world.
This is a 4-12. Oh, who's last anyway? Let's play it.
I actually think it'll be like 6. Exactly 6.
But you're right. It'll probably get to 7.
I feel like it might get to 7. The commanders should not have expectations to absolutely demolish any team team they're gonna they're not gonna blow people out it's usa russia it's usa russia no one believes in these boys it's nice being in a like because if the bears get killed like well yeah what'd you expect they're the worst team in the nfl yeah i'm not even gonna feel good about i'm gonna feel sorry for you they are the worst team uh all right last thing for I'm not even going to feel good about it.
I'm going to feel sorry for you. They are the worst team.
All right, last thing for Vikings-Panthers. I am just as much rooting against the Panthers now.
I screenshot it right away. The Bears have the 1-2 pick right now.
It's never been done, I don't think. So go Panthers, go.
Keep losing games. Keep finding a way to – they were even up in this game, and then they didn't score in the second half.
So what you want, you want to go 1-16, and you want the Panthers to go 0-17. That way it's the Panthers that pick first.
Right. And then you get the second pick, but that's because – That was your pick.
Yeah, we won that trade. Yeah, exactly.
Oh, absolutely. All right, let's take another break, and then we'll finish off the afternoon games and get to – or sorry, finish the early games, get to the afternoon games.
Hey, it's Rhea from Tricks in the Office. It's officially mini-skort season and Abercrombie has the ones to go out in.
Their Scarlet Mini is a classic. It's one of those skirts that fits the outfit vibe for any plans.
And I'm excited to style their new Sienna skort. It's a little more flirty and it's perfect for date night make plans to go out in abercrombie shop their newest arrivals in store and online okay next up texans steelers i almost did something really mean there hank went yeah we should we should have said and just done patriots cowboys and been like hank and then he just left uh but texan steel.
Yep. CJ Stroud.
Stroud boys. Stroud boys.
He is awesome. 1,200 yards, six touchdowns, zero interceptions.
Pretty good. Pretty good.
A beast. So his stats coming out are, I think, they're the second best in the NFL history behind just Cam Newton in his rookie season.
Yeah. So he's ahead of Andrew Luck.
He's playing awesome. And D'Amico Ryans, I think he's an awesome coach.
Awesome coach. This is what I'm talking about.
Organizations like they made the right hire. He's putting in a winning culture.
They're winning. They were picked to be one of the worst teams in the NFL.
They're winning games. They look competent.
They took it to the Steelers. And the Steelers, Mike Tomlin is my favorite just because he's so predictable.
It really is like if he's coming off a win and he's an underdog, or sorry, he's a favorite on the road, it's just they came out so flat. They looked like they had no juice.
Kenny struggled to hurt his knee, which I hope he's not badly hurt. That offense has no punch whatsoever.
They feel like that offense just is never doing anything explosive and it's always feels like all their plays are behind the line of scrimmage and in third and long you just gotta be hoping that your defense scores multiple touchdowns yeah if you're a Steelers fan it's painful to watch and their secondary got shredded today Nico uh Nico Collins had an insane day well credit to Tomlin because they asked him after the game if there's going to be changes. He said, hell yeah, there's going to be changes.
Oh. So, Matt Canada, another promotion.
Yeah. That's what it sounds like to me.
Also, the Steelers need to – they've got to fire their playing guy. Their playing guy is the worst.
Wait, are they stuck again? They were delayed again due to a mechanical issue with the charter plane. And then I think they were like three, four hours delayed on the tarmac.
Weren't they like stuck in a plane for like 12 hours? Yeah. Yeah.
They get to fire their plane guy. As a bad plane guy myself, I can spot another one when I see it.
Get rid of them. They got a bad plane guy.
Get rid of them. Yeah.
This game was over in the first quarter. The Texans had 145 yards to Pittsburgh's 15.
Jesus Christ. Yeah, they came out so flat.
Also, it was J.J. Watt Day in Houston.
And we are a J.J. Watt podcast.
We should just remind people that J.J. Watt was the best defensive player of all time for that four-year stretch.
I went and looked it up. Four seasons, 64 games played, didn't miss a game.
He had 69 sacks, 109 tackles for a loss, 41 passes batted down, 15 forced fumbles, three Defensive Player of the Year awards, and second in MVP in that one year. He was an absolute monster.
That's why we always say as good of a football player he was, he was actually a shitty human being compared to what a good football player was. Because he was that good.
And that's not even a knock against him as a human being. No.
Because he's a pretty good human being too. Right.
But dog shit as a human compared to his defensive side. He was never the best human in the world.
No, never. He was Walter Payton man of the year.
Of the year. Right.
He's a very, very good human. But to be best human, he was best football player in the world for that stretch.
He was probably not even top thousand human in the United States. Right.
There's a lot of good humans. A lot of very good people.
Good people on both sides with a Stroud voice. Yes, yes.
So, yeah, CJ Stroud is awesome. I think Texas could win the AFC South.
Yeah. Couldn't they? Yeah, I think they could.
Why not? JJ also took out a full-page ad in the Houston Chronicle. He's got to have the Lifetime Achievement Award for most full-page ads taken out, right? For sure.
My guess is JJ's probably taken out seven or eight full-page ads. Oh, he's definitely going to take one out when he gets in the Hall of Fame.
Yeah. Both Arizona and Houston.
And Wisconsin. Actually, JJ, let's do it the right way.
I don't know what we charge for advertising, but full-page ad PMT. Three bored apes.
Do a full page advertisement. So we'll do a full ad read for you.
You can write whatever you want. You got to pay.
Yeah. We will do, when you get inducted into Canton, first ballot, we'll do a full page ad for you on Pardon My Take.
What's the difference between a full page ad and just propaganda? It's fake news, isn't it? That's true. We should take out a full page ad.
We should, yeah. We should absolutely take a full page ad out.
propaganda it's fake news isn't it that's true we should take out a full page ad we should yeah we should absolutely take a full page ad out can we get jake figure out the cheapest which newspaper yeah the cheapest full page ad we can do a bad newspaper yeah we should do a full page ad in like the smallest newspaper and just thank all the people of that town for listening to pardon my take Yeah. He's cause he's definitely done a full page ad when he,

when he won Walter Peyton man of the year,

definitely took one out.

Then probably took one out when he left Houston,

when he saved Houston.

Yeah.

When he saved Houston and when he left Houston,

then took one out in Arizona,

took one out in Madison when he got drafted,

thanking all the good people of all the badgers out there.

And now he's doing another one on JJ watt day. He'll take.
He'll take another one out when he goes in the Hall of Fame. Yeah, I'd say probably like seven or eight full-page ads over the course of his life.
A lot of full-page ads. It can range from $2,700 to over $100,000.
The New York Times Sunday edition costs $245,000, but we will not be using them. Screw them.
If they paid us $245,000, I still wouldn't do it. Yeah.
Yeah. So find us a paper.
We will pay for it, and we'll do a full-page ad. Got it.
And if you're a listener who runs a paper, maybe just give it to us on the house. Yeah.
Hit up what email? at barstool sports beautiful we should do one thanking jj watt for taking out a full page ad in houston yes yeah yes and also yeah and also yeah everyone that listens yeah and also down here this is good for one free subscription to part of my take we should just whatever the maximum amount of words we can use we should use yep yeah uh okay Yeah. Okay.
Speaking of maximum amount of words. Oh, we're not there yet.
We're getting close. We actually already did the Patriots-Cowboys, but you were gone.
Damn. Buck Saints.
I'm very happy for Baker Mayfield. He's balling.
Yeah. He's balling.
They won 26-9. They went into the Dome, which is not your father's Superdome anymore.
It's not. People go into the Dome and win now.
And it's sad, but Baker Mayfield was awesome. The Bucs are – I don't know if they're good.
Yeah, they're good. The Bucs are feisty.
They're good.

I think Baker's good enough to win close games, too.

I put a little future on him at the start of the year

for comeback player of the year,

just banking on the fact that maybe DeMar

wouldn't actually get into a game this year.

Yeah.

But I think if you're being honest,

Baker should be in that conversation right now.

Yes.

The Bucs are good enough to lose a first-round home playoff game by a touchdown. Yeah.
That's a pretty good team. Yeah, if they win their division, they play against a better wild card team, and then they lose at home, yeah.
Right. I've been there.
Yeah, that feels like what the Bucs are. Yeah, they're fun.
They're feisty. They'll keep scrapping with you.
The Saints look like whatever the opposite of fun is. They booed Derek Carr as they should have.
Why? Why did you start Derek Carr? They wanted to see Jameis. The people wanted Jameis.
We had a small dose of Jameis at the end who went downfield on a go route. Yes, go route and threw a little pick.
The Saints offense is so bad and so, like, just slow, just just terrible to watch Derek Carr had 14 completions behind the line of scrimmage Alvin Kamara actually broke a record today yeah do you want to know the record or if you're talking about his yardage yeah so he had 13 catches for 33 yards yeah The previous lowest amount of yards on 13 catches was by a Bucs player, James Wilder, 1985. He had 71 yards.
33 yards on 13 catches is so hard to do. And that's not on Alvin Kamara.
That's on the Bucs offense being very predictable. Derrick Carr playing in a game where his shoulders hurt.
He can't throw the ball downfield. Everything is around the line of scrimmage.
I don't understand it. I don't get why you played Derrick Carr.
If you break it down, 13 catches for 30 yards is probably a huge, huge waste of time. Huge.
When you think of all the time that ticked off the clock, if it was like 13 incomplete passes, the Saints would have liked to have more time. They would have ran out of time.
Probably wouldn't have done much with it. But, yeah, huge waste of time.
Waste of energy, too, if you're Kamara. What did he have? Catching all these balls and getting hit.
His longest was 10 yards. That means he had 12 catches for 23 yards.
Yeah. Jesus Christ.
Yeah, bad day. Saints are a tough watch.
They are. They're in my tough watch tier.
I think that they tried to maintain the identity of Sean Payton after Sean Payton left, but you can't do all the shit Sean Payton does. He's the one that makes it work.
They made a copy of a copy, and that's what the offense is that we're watching right now, whereas Sean Payton had all the crazy shit. He'd have people like lie down in the end zone to return kicks.
He'd put dead rats in your locker. He was the way that I think Taysom Hill runs like 70% less angry.
Now that Sean Payton's not the one telling him to run with the ball. And it's, again, the Saints have a good defense.
They've given up so far. This was the high that they gave up they've given up 15 points 17 points 18 points 26 points like they they should and they have weapons on offense it's just oh i don't know why you played derrick carr i'd much rather lose in a shootout with james winston throwing three interceptions than whatever the fuck that was yeah that was gross maybe we were all just a little bit ahead of ourselves saying that it's gonna be the saints division this year yeah it's not it's the bucks it's the bucks division i think you might be right yeah they're what three and one yeah the falcons also could hang around the falcons are going around but i feel like it's to be like last year where like the falcons could hang around and then the bucks the bucks still have uh i know it's not the super bowl team but team, but if you're a couple years removed from the Super Bowl,

you've still got a bunch of guys.

They've got guys that know how to win.

They've got a bunch of guys that are pretty damn good,

and their defense is pretty damn good.

Their defense is salty.

Okay, last early game, again, the NFL fucked us so bad with the 9-3.

Just so, so bad.

Remember, 6-4 next week.

6-4. And Cowboys 9-7.
Well, next week we're going to be in New York sleeping on the ground. So 6-4 doesn't really help.
Ravens 28, Browns 3. The good news is, well, there's good news, bad news.
The bad news is I don't think DTR is good enough to play in the NFL. The good news is if he somehow can stick around, he is by far the funniest quarterback not named Jameis Winston.
Yeah. He was so funny to watch play.
He was doing shovel passes down the field. He was dropping the ball randomly.
Every time he threw a long ball, it was like 10 yards away from anyone. I'm a DTR guy.
He looks like if you took the world's best athlete that has never played football and then had him start at quarterback in an NFL game. Yeah.
Like he was doing crazy shit, and he looked fun when he was running around there, and he just threw the ball like 40 yards downfield to nobody. And it was cool to watch, but if you're a Browns fan, you're probably like, well, I guess we have our answer.
Right. After the preseason, because he has some electric plays every now and again.
He's a fun guy to watch. But there were some Browns fans that were like, maybe this is going to be like a great number two quarterback for us for a while.
I think you might have your answer right now. Yeah.
So the Browns have a bye week next week because that was actually – and then they play the 49ers. So they'll probably lose that game.
But Browns fans, you have to be just so exhausted just from this season

because think about it.

Huge week one win.

Dominate the Bengals.

Look awesome on defense.

Week two, you lose to the Steelers.

Nick Chubb gets hurt.

Like the highest of highs, the lowest of lows.

Week three, you go and then you dominate the Titans, and Deshaun Watson has his best game in a Browns uniform. Week four, Deshaun Watson is not playing, and you get killed by the Ravens.
They have had the most rollercoaster season through four weeks that any team out there has had. Yeah, and if you're a Browns fan now, Miles Garrett had like a walking boot on after the game.
Oh, no. I don't know.
They get healthy and joku played today which was good to see after i don't know what happened at his house but he had like a household incident it sounds like he tried to put out his fire with his face my guess is that it's the classic you leave the the gas burner on on your outdoor grill and then you don't light it immediately and you forget how long the gas has been going yeah hannah storm had that happen to her too a couple years ago really yeah it'll fuck you up it scares you when you get that like blast in your face but he showed up to the game the mask he was wearing when he was walking down the down the tunnel was terrifying terrifying he looked like he was gonna like capture and kill the ninja turtles he looked like a comic book character and they were saying we're not sure if's going to be able to play because he might not be able to put his helmet on. Then he played.
He went out there and played. That's a tough motherfucker.
Tough motherfucker. Tough motherfucker.
The Ravens. He also had, wait, he had a great tweet about it.
So he tweeted this out the night before the game when people didn't know if he was going to play. He said, the flesh is weak.
See you tomorrow. Hashtag dog pound.
Okay. The Ravens, by the way, this shocked me.
Lamar Jackson, for the first time in his career, had two rushing touchdowns and two passing touchdowns. If you had asked me that, I would have been like, he's done that a million times.
Because I think with him, it's like some games he'll tear it up on the ground. Other games he'll pass.
But he was awesome today. Because the Browns even is very good.
He loosened him up with his legs. He hit the pass he needed to hit.
The running game got going. The Ravens are in control of the AFC North.
Like firmly in control. They're 3-1.
And they have two division wins already. And we just finished September.
Like the Ravens are looking good. I feel like as long as the Ravens have Lamar and Mark Andrews, they'll figure out the rest.
Yeah, and also they've been very injured, and so you're expecting them to get some guys back. The Ravens are one of those teams I feel like people kind of sleep on a little bit because Patrick Mahomes is there and the Bills and everything.
The Ravens are going to be there. I feel like they're going to be there.
there you see Justin Tucker on the plane on the way back no so Marlon Humphrey was doing a uh Instagram live and Justin Tucker was on the plane and they asked him like what do you think about the game how to go today and he says big team win you know we walk into the trap we take over the trap oh I don't think that there's ever been a whiter person than Justin Tucker that said those words. Kicker, opera singer, being like, we walk into the trap, we take over the trap.
He's a trap queen. Yeah.
Yeah, he is. Yeah, the Ravens are good, though.
They are. Ravens are good.
And the Browns, I feel bad for Browns fans. It's been hell.
Rollercoaster hell. Okay, let's take one last break, then we'll do the afternoon games.
I think people want to listen to that. We have a conversation we have to have with our good friend Henry Lockwood about life in general.
He's been waiting to talk to you. Yeah.
Before we do that, let's take a quick break. As we progress through the season, every fan knows that big wins are hard to come by

and tough losses are even harder to accept.

Okay.

Cowboys 38, Patriots 3.

Henry.

Henry.

Hey.

Henry.

You were a Patriots fan, Hank.

Henry, you left the viewing area to watch it by yourself in the second half, So we didn't get to talk to you. Well, it was the Hank Bowl.
It was the Hank Bowl. You did win.
The Patriots and the Cowboys. You won and lost.
Congratulations on your Cowboys. Thank you.
Hank. Yep.
Mack Jones. Question mark? Mack Jones is bad.
Mack Jones is not the guy uh worst halftime deficit in belichick's career worst loss in his career they looked hopeless defense got even more banged up doesn't even matter because mac jones can't do anything and i think it's i think it's time to move on it's time time. Are you thinking move on now to Zappi?

It can't hurt.

You can't get worse.

You can't get worse than the worst loss in Belichick's career.

Well, you could do a worse loss in Belichick's career.

But I'd rather do that with Zappi

than it's like you really know it's time to move on.

Yeah.

But Mac Jones, it's time to go. It's bad.
He is not good. No.
I feel like he's gotten every chance to maybe be good. Yeah, like I said.
I know last year was bad because they fucked him over, but he's not good. No, and it happened.
The Eagles game, they had a chance to win. You think a good or above-average quarterback wins that game, they probably could win against the Dolphins.
At least split one of those two games, a good or average or even slightly below-average quarterback can maybe get it done. He couldn't.
He's gotten worse. There's no hope.
There's no excitement watching it. I have never felt like this before in my football fandom career, but I'm now thinking tank.
I don't even. Wow.
Oh, man. Winning is.
Oh, man. You got to start from scratch.
You want to get one of the best QBs in the league to start your franchise. Yeah, Mac Jones.
I'm proud of you, Hank, because you were kind of forced into it because there was no way you were going to be able to spin this one and be like, I think he's still the guy. Yeah.
But I'm proud that you finally got there. It made it easier because we were going to have to have a hard talk with you.
And you've kind of taken that away. You realize it on your own.
You're like, I'm going to go get help before we could say, hey, Hank, you need help. We're going to have an intervention.
Key letters, I andT. I brought some stats.
I didn't want to do that.

I'm sure you're going to tell them anyway.

No, I'm not.

No, I'm not.

I'm not going to kick you when you're down.

You already said that they've never lost that badly.

That's correct.

Belichick has never lost by more than 31 points before today.

This, to me, seems more concerning, though.

There was a moment today where I was like, is Belichick just checked out?

Has the game passed Bill Belichick by?

When you have Mike McCarthy. They already had a banged up defense, and then their two best defenders got injured in the game.
So the Cowboys are the first team to run a successful fake for a two-point conversion ever since extra points were pushed back to the 15 in 2015. I said that out loud when they showed, they pointed out Greg, or I don't know who was calling the game.
Was it Greg Olson? Yeah. Pointed out that the Patriots looked like they were lined up to try to block a last second field goal for an extra point, and the Cowboys just checked to their two-point conversion play, and that felt like a moment where I was like, this doesn't happen to Belichick teams.
Yeah. Mike McCarthy's got to be feeling himself after that one.

Oh, yeah.

Dan Quinn, too.

That defense, the Cowboys defense is back.

I know they had a – I really do think the Cowboys just slept walk week three.

Nothing to take away from the Cardinals,

but I think they went in there thinking that they had that game no matter what.

And they still have some issues with – it feels like their red zone offense isn the best. But, yeah, Mac Jones and the Patriots are in trouble.

Yeah, big trouble, Hiley.

So we play the Jets again.

Yeah, he did say that.

I was like, you might be looking at a three-win team.

And Hank was like, we'll play the Jets again.

I was like, good point.

That is another win.

Yeah, but it's week 18.

Rodgers might be playing. Oh, yeah, True.
True. That's true.
Spoiler. So, Hank, tell me more about your future plans here for the Patriots.
You can use words on the podcast. I think, I don't know.
Like I said, I'm not used to feeling like this. This is usually your guys' territory.
Maybe you can help me out. It's weird to be like, you don't want to root for your team to lose, but you don't think they're going to compete for even a chance at the playoffs.
So if you're in that mindset, why would you not want them to get as good of a draft pick as possible? But you don't want to say, like, I'm going to go into every they lose yeah you have to take you have to take the i would like to stand like to spoil and beat the the division rivals and you know maybe ruin their seasons on sundays you got to hope for the best other than that on sundays you got to root for your guys and then the rest of the week that's when rational hank takes over it's like it's actually good that we lost last week right it's basically all week all week, you're like, it's fine, it's fine, it's fine, and then when the ball gets

kicked off, you're like, let's win this game.

And then as soon as you lose, you're like, it's fine, it's

fine, it's fine. I can give you a whole playbook.

Yeah, I get down with that.

Max did bring up a hypothetical

when you were sitting off by yourself.

Not around us.

And it's kind of

scary because, Max, you want to say it? I probably will fuck up the wording of this. Yeah, you will.
Yeah. If there was one franchise that you wouldn't want to be a fan of in this room going forward, who would it be? The Bears.
We have the one and two pick. Yes.
And Caleb Williams, who has the worst ownership in the history. Okay, but Virginia McCaskey will maybe die at some point.
She's like 103. I don't want her to die.
Unless she wants to. Unless she wants to.
If it's her wish to die, I will not stop her wish. If this season doesn't kill her, she's never going to die.
Oh, she's seen some bad teams. We have the one and two pick.
That's the scary part is it's not as crazy as it's on paper. Your field stadium is a shithole.
Going to go to Arlington Heights. No state-of-the-art structures.
New dome.

But, yeah, it's the Bears.

I mean, that's... But think about this, Hank.

One and two pick.

Probably a 33% chance that the Bears have Caleb Williams next year.

Maybe higher than that.

And a new coach.

And possibly in the future, a new ownership in Arlington Heights.

Like, where does the Patriots franchise go from here?

Like, they don't have a good roster.

I'm not saying you're wrong.

I'm saying the fact that it's even maybe possibly a debate is scary for you.

Their roster's not bad.

They're just banged.

Their defense is all backups.

What about their offense?

Offense has good players, but obviously in the NFL.

Zeke Elliott.

Bad.

All pro.

Juju Smith-Schuster.

If you're in a guy off and your second guy is juju you lost hunter henry oh hunter's not bad chandler jones are not chandler jones no jimmy i didn't mean to bring him up judon is who i meant to say yeah yeah don't bicep yeah oh sorry yeah they're bad It's bad it was it's there's no fun for me on sundays like i don't i don't look forward to sundays i don't look forward to watching them and then doing the show after i hate to say it but it's true uh oh man and i just you know i thankfully i have good times that really is is all it is it's part of getting old it's just like damn it's never gonna be you know you wish you knew the good old days when you're in the good old days yeah you have the best bank bank of material to think back on right you really do right you're like leon leonardo dicaprio when he turns like 85 at the end of the day he might you know he might die but he's still going to have like 40 years of getting it in. And maybe Belichick takes this whole season.
He's like, what the fuck? I'm the best coach of all time. I got to figure this out.
I got to get us out of this whole redemption arc. But if he's smart, he'll tank.
Right. But I don't know if he doesn't do that.
This is what is concerning me, Hank, because old Hank, back when you believed in your team, you would already be convinced that he's doing the best job of tanking right now to try to get Caleb Williams. I just don't think he's built to tank.
That's just not how he's wired. No.
All right. Here you go, Hank.
Saints Raiders. Those are two winnable games coming up.
Saints at home, lighthouse.

Yep.

Never won.

Show ponies, where's the beef?

Never won in front of the lighthouse.

So if you win those two games, where are you going to be at?

Because those are winnable games.

You might be favorite in both those games.

That would be, you would be three and three.

Whoa.

You'd be three and three.

Yeah, but it's just the, you watch the Bills and the Dolphins play and they're on another level. Yeah.
That's a tough realization you're going to come to where you watch other football and you're like, I wish I had that football. Yeah.
Yeah, it sucks. And you know as someone who's watched great teams for a long time, you know the difference.

Yeah.

And you know, like, we're just not – we're not there.

You know what those fans are feeling,

and it sucks not feeling that yourself anymore.

Would you say Brady won the divorce?

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah, I'd say so.

Are you a bigger Brady fan or Pats fan?

Equal.

Pats.

But it's not.

It's one-two.

Thank you. Are you a bigger Brady fan or Pats fan? Equal.
Pats. But it's not.
It's one, two. That's an impossible question.
It's like naming your favorite children. My daughter.
Easily. Easily.
I think Hank's realized that he's really more of a Brady fan than he is a Pats fan. That's just not true, but it's just Brady, again, it's been 20 years of Brady, and it's been a couple of the non-Brady Patriots.
I'm still getting used to it. Your shirt looks awesome.
Thank you. Thank you, BFT.
You're welcome, Hank. Last question, Hank.
Where do you think Kraft and Belichick are at? I feel like that... In terms of what? Like, do you think that Kraft, if the Patriots win four games this year, do you think Kraft's going to be like, what the fuck, dude? No.
Not getting younger. So you don't buy into any of the little tiny bit of tension going on? No.
Okay. Because if you have the greatest coach of all time, or it's like, I'm going to get rid of him and him and then start like that would be way more work for him they got rid of tom landry at one point if they bring another coach in after belichick belichick's gonna show up for work and then he's gonna take he's gonna walk in the meeting room and the new coach is gonna see belichick walk in and be like yeah you're right it's your team yeah and just walk here you take this he's unfireable it's so much work and pressure if you get rid of Belichick that I don't, like, who would want to bear that?

Every person ever who takes all these jobs because there's only 32 of them?

No, I'm saying for Kraft.

Oh.

Like, he lives a good life.

Oh.

It's easy for him to be like, yeah, I have Bill Belichick.

It's not going good, but I trust Bill Belichick.

If he gets rid of Bill Belichick and then they're bad, it's like, why the fuck did you get rid of bill belichick yeah i don't like seeing you this sad it is what it is that you do that's a lie no i actually don't you're sadder than i thought you'd be i don't i thought you'd put up a little bit of a fight and i don't i don't like you seeing this i don't like seeing you this defeated yeah i mean there mean, there's nothing to be said. There's nothing.

You can't watch that game and think anything positive, I don't think.

You can spin yourself and be like the Cowboys are the best team in the NFL.

Cowboys are very good.

You're Cowboys.

My Cowboys.

Future?

No future yet.

Only future I have right now is the Commanders to win the NFC.

Thank you.

Because of fucking you guys pranking Schefter.

Oh, yeah.

No, it was Schefter. Oh, Schefter pranking you guys.
Yeah. Yeah.
Got a good price on it. That's funny.
And Anthony Richardson, offensive rookie of the year. Okay.
Okay. Those are two good futures.
Yeah, I guess. Yeah.
You do have two futures. You haven't lost them yet.
Yep. Yep.
They're both alive. Think about it that way.

Yeah.

Hank, I just, I do want to see you.

I am a little upset that you're like so, so down in the dumps. When the game was happening and you just walked off the stream, you went over to watch it by yourself in the other room.

I walked behind Hank.

I walked behind Hank.

You ended the stream.

I walked behind him as he was watching the game and he was somberly depressedly, just looking at Instagram pictures of hot chicks on his computer. That's great.
It was great. That's good coping.
I was like, this is better than watching the game. Dude, listen.
When shit gets bad, look at some big titties. You'll feel better.
That's a fact. Hank, you know what? I'm just going to Google big boobs.

Yeah.

And then you'll feel better.

Instantly changes your mood.

Big boobs.

Just looking at some big knockers.

Hank, look at these.

That's lovely.

Feel better?

Yeah.

All right.

I like seeing you smiling.

Yeah.

Thanks, guys.

Come on, Hank.

Come on, Hank.

Look at these. I personally.
Oh, yeah. Yeah.
Those are huge tits. Hank, I got some tits for you.
I love to see Hank's pain right now. It feels.
Oh, Hank, you want me to buy you an eight and a half by 11 print of this picture? That's all right. What do you think about Max saying that, Hank? I mean, Max knows what's coming in the spring and summer.
Oh, yeah, oh yeah that's true salt season that is true that's why i like to that's why i like to see it you did say trade and bead today yeah we can talk about that later yeah we'll talk about i'll talk to josh about on thursday oh no uh okay hank well oh look at this one hank look at this look at i following her. Oh, that's good.
Yeah, she got huge tits. Nice.
See that? Look at those. Nice sundress.
Just fucking enormous knockers. Yeah, Hank was just sitting there.
On his laptop. You want her hat? Sure.
Yeah, I just started following her. It's fucking great content.
All she does is post her tits. You know you're horny when you're pulling up big tit pictures from Instagram on your laptop.
You have to go through several steps to get there. I was just scrolling on my laptop.
I was just scrolling on my laptop. Yeah, you're just scrolling.
Oh, dude, look at this one. Yeah, she's fucking really hot.
Oh, yeah. She's got a nice face, too.
Double tap. Yeah, double tap.
I don't care. I give a fuck.
Listen, the best thing that ever happened to me was when we used to have to do guess that ass back in the day in the real smut days and I was like yeah it's work I follow I follow these women for work what do we want to do we want to keep the lights on ass and titties pay the bills that's a fact makes the world go round. What do you got? Oh, nice.
Showing more boobies. Yeah, this is a good way to get the guys back.
Yeah, yeah. Great.
We should just start looking at porn while we do this show. Watching porn on the big screen behind memes.
People are like, why are they getting distracted? All right. Last two gamesgers raiders justin herbert fucking dog dog broke his hand maybe dog broke his hand uh his coach had his back too yeah that hit brandon staley was like the first one over when he got hit on the sidelines like he was going to do something about it i i actually think there should be a rule where in the one second after your quarterback gets hit out of bounds late if it's on your own sideline people that are next to him can do whatever they want to him for one second as long as it's if it's not a penalty then you get penalized for it yeah but if if the flag's coming out you should just get like one shot in them hilariously late hit insanely late hit by the Raiders and the Chargers almost charged this game they they they've to give it away every which way.
Aiden O'Connell making his first start. Purdue legend.
I do have a problem. Great mustache, by the way.
I know that Derek Carr isn't a Hall of Famer, but I do have a problem. You can't wear number four.
Right after Derek Carr left, you have to give a grace period because my eyes can't figure it out. I actually thought for a second they were showing a replay.
I was like, is this an old game or a new game? Or what's going on here? Why is number four in here? It's the same body type kind of. Yeah, you can't do that.
And then Khalil Mack, he showed up. Six sacks.
Yeah. Maybe Bosa was the reason why Khalil Mack wasn't playing well because Bosa wasn't there.
Without a doubt, this was the best Chargers, best defensive game. Cleo Mack also just like he looks so intimidating.
Because he's got those arm muscles that he doesn't have to flex, and it's just pop. Like he looks like he's flexing.
He is such a monster. I have a problem with what Josh McDaniel said after this game.
And we can go over some Josh McDaniel stats in a little bit. Not an analytics guy.
After the game, they talked to him about Aiden O'Connell, and he said, playing quarterback in our league starts with taking care of the football. I don't think Josh McDaniel should get to say our league.
Yeah. I don't think he speaks for football.
Well, he's from Canton. As a whole.
He is from Canton? Yeah. Remember, every time he's involved in a Hall of Fame game? He hasn't reached our league.
Okay. You can't say our league.
If your record as a head coach is 18-30, and six of those wins are when they was cheating. Yeah.
When they were cheating on the Broncos, they started out 6-0. If you take those out, he's 12-30 as a head coach, and he's our leaguing it.
Also, Aiden O'Connell, like, it's not his fault. He's first start.

Yeah.

Didn't have, like, he was going up against Khalil Mack,

who decided that he was going to just be vintage Khalil Mack

and just wreck everything.

It's your fault, Josh McDaniels.

You got a fat face, dude.

Yeah.

He does.

He's got a fat face.

And for being an offensive genius, he's really dumb.

Yeah, you're a dumb guy.

Fat face.

Devontae Adams.

After the game, Devontae Adams. Josh McDaniels, probably not coming on part of my tape.
Said that he didn't think he would be able to go back into the game, but he had to nut it up. So Devontae Adams nutted it up, and that was probably the only bright side for a Raiders fan today.
Even though you almost won. Like, you could have won at the end.
You found your way to, like, make the Chargers get to a point where, was it JC Jackson? Like, he took a knee, almost got the ball back. You could have won the game, but still.
Good news if you're a Chargers fan because the first half, at least, offensively for the Chargers was great today. Yeah, and Justin Herbert throwing that third, and I think it was third and long to ice the game.
That was awesome. Yeah.
What a sick throw. Most teams just run it.
They're like, fuck it. Let's let Justin Herbert.
Chargers, two and two now. Yeah.
Coming right in the ship. Also, I saw a video.
I think we need a new rule. You'll never believe this, PFT, but there was a fight in the stands between Chargers and Raiders fans.
This one Chargers fan, he's actually looked a little bit like Lenny Balls, and he knocked the fuck out of this Raiders fan who was wearing a Howie Long jersey. You can't, like, Howie Long should be able to sue.
Yeah. You can't wear a Legends jersey and get knocked out.
Yeah, it's a tough. It should not be allowed.
It's a bad look, but spin zone for Raiders fans. There was a guy on the Raiders that was just openly doing cocaine in the stands.
Oh, nice. That went viral, too.
This guy was just shoveling keys into his nose. Love that.
In his seat. I'm going to watch that.
While people were all around him filming him, and he was like, let's go Raiders. That was a good look for the Raiders fans.
I'll send you guys Glenny Ball's knockout. It was, yeah, Howie Long He's got a he's got he definitely should be allowed to sue because it definitely hurts your like you just can't have that.
What do you think the toughest jerseys are like the guys that you would not want to get into a fight with? I would not fuck with anybody wearing an Aaron Hernandez jersey. No, probably not Michael the Falcons jersey.
Yeah, because that's right. The black one and you gotta you gotta you know you're saying something with it so uh yeah you can't watch that watch that fight video uh and and you know he he actually like the chargers guy like he even he knocked him out twice and everyone's like dude stop he's like what do you want me to do he keeps coming at at me.
That's how good of a fighter he was. He was just throwing cement hands.
Yeah, good punch. Yeah, really good punch.
And so, yeah, I guess Chargers are kind of back on track. Who is doing coke? A Raiders fan.
Raiders Charger. Okay.
Raiders fan cocaine. That's allowed.
That's definitely allowed. Raiders cocaine.
Oh, it's just other guys coming and showing up.

Okay.

Should we finish off with the Niners Cardinals?

Let's do it.

Oh, wait.

Steven Shea put up a poll.

Who would you rather have your starting quarterback the rest of the season,

Mac Jones or Zach Wilson?

Would you like me to vote Mac Jones?

Yeah.

Okay.

I did too.

Okay.

And 73% said Zach Wilson.

Recency bias.

Recency bias.

That's true.

I mean, you fumbled a fucking snap on him. That is recency bias.
That's a very good use of recency bias. Before today, it's probably flipped.
Yeah. Zach Wilson blew the game.
He could have won it. He fucking fumbled a snap.
I just sent the Raiders fan doing coke. It's a must watch.
Oh, yeah. Dude, he's having a great time.

Yeah, he is.

Oh, that's a great time.

Yeah.

Yeah.

He's got good seats, too.

Yeah.

Dude, that's a great Sunday afternoon.

Yeah, so as bad as that other visual was for Raiders fans, I feel like Raiders fans might be back on track with the Coke guy.

Yeah.

Yeah.

You go to a bar after, keep the party going.

You don't even know that your team lost.

Yeah.

It's great.

All right.

Niners 35, Cardinals 16.

Christian McCaffrey is out of this world good.

So, Big Cat, I was thinking about today.

I think Christian McCaffrey should be the MVP.

Yeah, I'd agree.

He had four touchdowns today.

Could we have a running back that's the MVP of the league?

Yeah.

He's on pace for nearly 2,000 yards,

and then he'd be on pace for 25 touchdowns,

600 yards receiving, and about five touchdowns receiving.

He scored 13 straight games touchdowns.

Yeah.

That's insane.

I think he should be MVP.

There's 16-1 in the regular season with Christian McCaffrey.

If the Saturday before the Super Bowl was today,

Christian McCaffrey would win MVP.

Yeah.

Christian McCaffrey is so fucking good.

He runs so, like, every time he has the ball, you're like,

all right, here comes another 20 yards.

No problem.

Brock Purdy was phenomenal, 20 for 21.

And here's a fun, this is how good the Niners are a couple couple stories from this game uh the Niners are so good they won by 19 points uh and Debo Samuel and George Kittle combined for one catch yeah it's crazy uh Brandon Ayuk was incredible the Niners are so good the Cardinals actually made this a five-point game, and it was like, oh, what's going on here? Obviously, that didn't finish that way. The Cardinals or the Niners just shut them down the rest of the game, scored a couple more times, won by 19.
But the Niners are so good, the Cardinals made a five-point game. They went for two.
The Niners had 10 guys on defense and stopped it. That's pretty cool.
Yeah, pretty fucking cool. I think if the 49ers played with 10 guys on defense for every play this season, they would probably still be undefeated.
Yeah. They are an absolute machine.
And I know Max did bring up that they haven't played anyone, but we'll find out on Sunday. Yeah.
That's a beautiful thing. It's going to be great.
A great Sunday night matchup. Yeah.
Cowboys versus Niners. Might be.
I might do another nuclear missile whale play. I think we should move Brock Purdy into the actually good category now.
Yeah, I agree. I think he's actually good.
I agree. I've nitpicked, but you can't – There's nothing you can do.
You have a lot of film to unlearn on Brock Purdy. Well, it's also like there's – It's more his team is so good and you try to look – You do it with every team.
You're like, all right, well, what's their fatal flaw?

And you're like, oh, Brock Purdy, he is missing something.

No, he's just a really good quarterback.

He's good.

He's actually good.

He's a top 10 quarterback.

Let's rank him.

You want to rank him?

He's a top 10 quarterback.

Okay, in no particular order, Josh Allen.

This year.

This year.

This year.

Josh Allen.

I'd still put Mahomes up there. Yeah.
Even though he's played kind of shittily Lamar Yep Justin Herbert's looked pretty good this year Tua Tua's look great Jalen Hurts Jalen Kind of got to give it up for Dak maybe No Top 10 No we don't. We don't share golf, cherry golf.
Oh yeah.

I forget about Jared.

Kirk.

Maybe Brock versus Kirk.

I think Brock younger.

Yeah.

I would take more mobile.

I would take more plays off script.

Yeah.

Okay.

Matt Stafford's in there.

Matt Stafford's in there for sure.

Anthony Richardson.

No,

who are we missing?

I think he's a top 10 quarterback.

Who are we missing?

Sam has a good one. Matt Stafford's in there.
Matt Stafford's in there for sure. Anthony Richardson? No.
Who are we missing?

I think he's a top 10 quarterback.

Who are we missing?

Sam Howell.

Tua?

No, I said Tua. You said Tua.

I said Tua.

Baker, Geno Smith?

No, I'd take Brock over those guys.

Yeah, I think.

Trevor Lawrence?

Yeah.

Yeah.

Trevor Lawrence?

But I think we just named nine or ten.

Brock is in there.

Is Brock Purdy elite?

Brock Purdy's a top ten quarterback in the NFL.

Yeah.

Say it.

Everyone say it with their chest.

Stafford.

We said Stafford.

We might have said like 11 or 12 at this point.

But that's fine.

We're just naming names and then debating.

I think he is.

I think he is.

I think he is.

You can't ask Brock Purdy to do anything more than what he's done. Yeah.
And, I mean, obviously Joe Burrow, but you can't put him in there right now with his injury. Yeah, I think he is.
I think Brock Purdy is a top 10 quarterback in the National Football League in 2023. How about that? How about that? As of right now.
As of right now. Yeah.
I feel confident in saying this as of right now. Yeah.
I don't think we missed anyone blatant. There's probably someone very blatant we've missed.
You know there's someone very blatant we've missed. Who? No.
I don't think we missed anyone blatant. What? Did we miss someone blatant? Yeah, we fucking crushed that list.

I think that's a solid final list.

We said Burrow, but he's not in there.

All right, ready?

Okay.

Cleaning it up.

Cleaning it up.

Lamar, Justin Herbert, Tua, Mahomes, Josh Allen, Jared Goff, Matt Stafford, Matt Stafford, Jalen Hurts, Brock Purdy, maybe Dak, Trevor Lawrence, and Goff. No, I already said Goff.
I said Goff. Jalen Hurts.
Jalen Hurts. Brock Purdy.
Maybe Dak.

Trevor Lawrence.

And Goff.

No, I already said Goff.

I said Goff.

That's the 10.

We did it.

Put out the list, memes.

Put out the list.

Maybe order it the same way I said it.

That will piss people off so much.

Yeah, he's a top 10 quarterback.

Well, I can write it down for you after, memes.

All right. Let's get to who's back of the week, finishing up the show.

That's www.nobullproject.com backslash barstool for 30% off. Who's back the week is the Boston Celtics.
Congrats, Hank. Thank you.
Thank you. You know, not every team in the city can be good all the time.
Celtics got. We have.
I know, but. Boston has done that a lot.
It's true. But the Celtics today acquired Drew Holiday.
They lost Robert Williams, Malcolm Brogdon. But they went from – Anything else? Now they're in their first-round pick in like 2073.
Okay. And they're back to being the favorite to win the NBA championship.
Is that? They're the favorites? I mean, I do think that – I said to you it was funny because Hank was in sleep shifts because of the Ryder cup. And you woke up, which actually is my worst nightmare.
You said you woke up three minutes before kickoff. It was 1155.
And then I woke up to the news. So I was processing that by the time I processed the game started.
Oh man, that's brutal. So yeah, I, I said to you like, that is, he's better than Marcus smart.
that's a great i know you gave up something some stuff that's a pretty fucking good team right there yeah i mean it's an elite defensive backcourt with him and derrick white he's a great point guard tatum brown it's gonna be exciting porzingis yeah al great spacing are you a little sad to let go of robert williams I feel like you lost two heart and souls. Brogdon wasn't around long enough.
No, Marcus Smart. Yeah, Marcus Smart and Robert Williams were definitely heart and souls.
They were definitely, I mean, they both drafted by the Celtics, embraced everything. We're great teammates, great role players, great defenders.
Super exciting to watch. Obviously, they had injury issues, so that, you know, I wish them all the best.

I'm excited to see them, you know, continue to play.

But getting Drew Holiday, like, it makes your team that much better.

So, it is what – at least they got something back.

So, Hank, you are currently tied with the Bucs.

For being the favorites.

The Bucs were the favorites, and now we're tied.

Oh.

Yeah.

Okay.

I'll take that.

And the Blazers kind of made out of hell. I don't know if the Bucs – like.
You think the Bucs would have traded him if they knew the Celtics were going to get him? To get Dame? Yeah, to get Dame. Yes.
But they probably wouldn't want to trade him to the Celtics. They're probably pissed off that he's on the Celtics.
But the Blazers made out pretty well. I feel like they have a pretty decent team now.
They probably still should have just traded tyler hero for him like everyone from miami was telling us for three months yeah that probably was the better trade no like the the blazers gm deserves a lot of credit yeah he actually got a bunch of good players and a bunch of draft picks turns out you don't have to just do whatever the player tells you yeah it's kind of refreshing that damien Lillard saying you want to go to the Miami Heat. Like, hey, I don't.
That's actually not what I want to do. Yeah.
And I'm the one who calls the shots here. I don't know if it's refreshing, but it's a reality check.
Yeah, no, I think it's refreshing. I think it's refreshing that a team wasn't held hostage by their star.
Well, we don't know. Day might not play.
That's true. Because he said he wasn't going to play for any team besides the Heat.
That's true. As it pertains to the Eastern Conference, our boy Max over here is pretty down.
He said he wants to trade and beat. I've thought about that more.
And it's not that I want to trade and bead. but if we were to get like a very – What's a great offer? Because you are literally just trying to restart the process.
Correct. That's so depressing.
Well, I mean, look at the Sixers right now. He just won an MVP.
I get it. Are you saying the MVP maybe wasn't kind of a fraudulent MVP?

No, I'm saying.

Because I don't know if there's anyone who's traded the MVP.

Wrong.

I'm saying that in the NBA, you need a lot of things to happen for your team to win a title.

The Sixers are nowhere near that right now.

They aren't.

But you would think that you would be able to build around the MVP. You should be able to build.
The MVP of the NBA. I think you think it might be a fraudulent MVP.
But the way the team is constructed you can't bring anybody else in. Like we've gone all in.
We went all in four years ago. With James Harden? James Harden refuses to play for the 76ers.
And there and there is no one to go out and get. Maxie, you betrayed Maxie.
I don't want, I want to build around Maxie. He's not the MVP.
I get that, but he's younger and you, and the things that you can get for Joel. Listen, Embiid will be on the Sixers this year.
And I am going to ride or die with my guy Embiid because he is my guy.

And he learned how to fall.

But he's always known how to fall.

No, he learned how to fall better.

He always has known how to fall.

He's a great faller.

But my thought changed from, like, after today,

the Bucs got a lot better.

The Celtics got a lot better.

Both of those teams were already better than the Sixers, and the Six bucks got a lot better the celtics got a lot better they were both of those teams were already better than the sixers and the sixers got worse like harden is not going to play like you're giving up worse than they were last year you're giving up i am not fighting coming to you and i am not giving up yes you are i am not giving up but if but if that did happen i wouldn't be like devastated it would make sense to me max they play the games for a reason i get it i don't think you get it i do get it i do get it you said earlier today i want to trade joel i don't want to i would understand if they did restart the process wouldn't be the worst thing in the world the process worked well it'll be a different result the results of the process did not work it would be a a different process because you would get a haul right now and you would still have a young, like, rising superstar. Superstar? You think Maxi rising superstar.
Rising superstar. Yes.
What do you think about this, Hank? He's down bad. Yeah, I mean, that's some serious copium going on.
He's the MVP of the league. He should be able to win championships with an MVP.
That's pretty much the formula. That's true.
That is. That is like get an MVP and then win a title.
Yeah. It takes more than that.
You need a complete team. Or a coach at championship experience.
Nick Nurse. Oh, wait.
You had that. Yeah, you do have it.
That's a good point, Hank. Nick Nurse.
You have a great coach, and you have the MVP, and you're writing the team off. And Pat Bev.
Love Pat Bev. I also want Pat Bev in my rebuild.
Oh, so you're already rebuilding. No, but in my hypothetical rebuild, I'm keeping Pat Bev as well.
Okay, so I'm looking at MVPs. Yeah, there's some that obviously don't win titles.
Steve Nash, Derrick Rose, Russ, but pretty much all of them. Allen Iverson.
Oh, wait. No, no, no.
Okay, so the last. So Joel Embiid won, then Jokic twice, then Giannis, and James Harden.
So you have two MVPs. Wow.
You have two MVPs. And a future MVP.
James Harden is not on the Sixers anymore. You have two MVPs.
James Harden is a man in the past. Did you see his party that he had when he was at the club and he had the girls come out carrying the drinks with a sign on it that said, Daryl Morey is a big fat liar? Not fat.
Big Cat added that. Yeah, I did add that.
I heard big fat liar. I editorialized that.
Okay. Congrats, Hank.
Thank you. You feel good? I'm excited, yeah.
You ready? Yeah. That's good.
Yeah. You got something to look forward to.
You going to be on the wood? Hopefully. Get some wood time this year.
I love that. Yeah.
All right, PFT, you're who's back. My who's back of the week is Europe.
Yeah. It was fucking Europeans won the Ryder Cup, and the entire tournament was over basically after the first round of matches.

I woke up on Friday morning.

I was like, oh, I think we just lost the Ryder Cup.

It was tough.

Max played really well, though.

Max was Captain America.

He was.

Had some great chip-ins, great putts.

Made the biggest putt in the fucking, like.

He extended it by like an hour.

Yeah.

And he had a great finger point, too, when he pointed at the Europeans. It is bullshit that they get an entire continent and we just get America.
Agreed. They have to team up.
They have the United Nations on their team. We're just one.
We're an army of one. This sounds like loser talk.
It probably is, but I'm moving forward to Bethpage. Yeah, we're going to dominate.
The New York crowd is going to be rowdy. We're going to fuck them up.
I'm going to go. The whole thing, the whole Ryder Cup, though, was such great controversy.
We had Hatgate on Saturday. Patrick Cantley didn't wear the hat.
How do you not wear the hat? He thought he was bigger than the hat, the fucking hat. No one's bigger than the hat.
The best thing is every single four years, we all fall for it every time where the U.S. Europe loses the Ryder Cup and then European journalists write stories being like the US team hates each other they're all at each other's throats and we all fucking just buy it it's like it was all like a made up hat gate all this shit it was great too Patrick Cantley was like the hat didn't fit then his dad who's his agent came out was like well he's getting married soon he didn't want the sun bit sun uh burn lines so it's like all these excuses but yeah we just bought it we just got it with the european press just did it to us again that's what they love to do they do this every time like if france gets bounced out the world cup there'll be a hundred articles articles about how the team was destroyed from within two weeks ago.

Yep.

And yeah, they feast on that stuff.

I still think that there's something to the hat.

Yeah.

Just wear the hat.

Yeah, you got to wear the hat.

You got to wear the hat.

You have to wear the hat.

Some people were saying it was out of protest that the Ryder Cup players don't get paid for it.

We are on Team Golfers.

We say pay the golfers.

Pay the golfers.

You're exploiting them, Ryder Cup.

They should only pay if they win. If they win they win yeah they also do get paid a little bit uh because they get well they get a charity two hundred thousand dollars for charity and also 20 of the proceeds go to the pga tour purse okay so they get paid a little bit not brooks brooks gets a that was part of the european press was throwing this out there I don't know if it's true or not.
Probably true because Brooks makes money moves. Apparently, there might be a stipulation in his contract with Liv that if he makes a Ryder Cup team, he gets a $5 million bonus.
Oh, that's nice. Yeah, so that was good for Brooks.
But that also could have been a made-up thing that, like, this is why they're mad. Yeah.
I still think there's something to Hatgate. Yeah.
Wear the fucking hat. Brooks did well on...
He did bad on Saturday. Saturday was...
Scotty Sheffield crying was a tough look. Yeah.
Tough look. It was the worst loss of, like, Ryder Cup history.
Yeah, it was. But then Brooks dominated today.
We had a caddy fight. Yeah, Joe LaCava.
Yeah, he got into it with Rory. Yeah, Rory.
Rory. Rory's a bitch.
I don't like Rory. I know that everyone fucking loves him.
I don't like him. I'm sorry.
I don't like Rory. He acted like a bitch.
Yeah, I don't like him. I know he's an incredible golfer.
Seems like a great guy. I personally do not like him.
Well, just the idea of finding a golfer and then actively cheering for one guy is very funny to me. It's like a race car driver that you start to cheer for.
It's like, I fucking love Marty Truix, man. He's my guy, just a big Marty guy.
It's very strange to just pick a guy, and now I'm a Rory guy. I'm going to defend everything Rory does.
When a caddy steps behind him on the green and Rory loses his shit in the parking lot afterwards, I have to now pretend like I'm on Rory's side for the argument. It was weird.
The whole caddy thing was very strange. It's also just like makes you, whenever we have international competitions like that, I become so blind with patriotic rage.
It's great. I just want to fight these guys.
I want to be like, fuck you, Rory. I'll fucking fight you, dude.
That's what I love about international sports, like international soccer, even if it's like the Olympics and it's the American basketball team, it gives you a nice excuse to be like over the top, patriotic, terrified of other countries. Casually xenophobic.
I wouldn't say casually. Aggressively xenophobic.
Victor Hovland is awesome too. I like him.
I like Victor Hovland. He's cool.
He's also just out of this world good right now. Yeah.
Even though he did chip on the green, which was very disrespectful to the course, to the game. But yeah, it was Ryder Cup.
They should play it every year. One rule change.
They need to do it like the President's Cup. The Sunday pairings is random in the Ryder Cup.
Change that. How do you not have Patrick Cantley versus Rory leading off the Sunday pairings?

Yeah.

That would be so fucking great to watch.

Yeah.

All the rivalries.

Just give them all to us.

It's so dumb they do them randomly.

We should also get Team America.

So it should be all the Americas.

North and South America.

Yeah.

That guy, that one guy that checks the wind by smoking cigarettes.

Yep.

Who's that guy?

Olathabo?

No.

I think he's Spanish.

Olathabo.

Olathabo, Spanish.

I think he's Argentinian.

Was it Hernandez?

No, no, it's Angel.

It's not Angel Hernandez.

That's the MLB umpire.

No, that's Olathabo, Jake. Where's OlathB umpire.
No, that's Olathabal, Jake.

Where's Olathabal from?

It's been.

Yeah.

Fuck.

Jake, look up.

Mike Weir?

Look up South America.

We get Mike Weir.

South American golfer.

Cabrera.

Angel Cabrera.

We get Mike Weir as well.

And we also get the guy, Afi Barnrett, that vapes and wears Yeezys.

And throw in Siwoo Kim. Yeah, now we're back or no sung jm both of them yeah they actually just played for to not have to go to military and they had to play the asian pan asian games and if they didn't get a gold medal they had to go to military service i love that yeah wow shout out them that's fucking pressure.
Yeah. But yeah, fuck Europe.

Also, Zach Johnson, you're an idiot.

Yeah.

You can always blame.

I don't really know why to blame you, but he's got to go.

You can blame the captain.

Captain's picks four and 12.

Yeah.

Four, 12, one.

What?

It was six players win by points and six players are picked by the captains.

And the six captains picks went four, 12, and one.

Oh, so he made bad picks. Yeah.
And he made bad picks and he made bad pairings so we should add dustin dustin changes this whole thing bryson yeah i i feel like i could i feel like i could coach a rider cup team to victory i know that that might be crazy like i don't know a lot i am want to know i don't know a lot about golf but i feel like i would be a vibes guy. I'll tell you one thing.
Patrick Cantley would be wearing the hat if I was the Ryder Cup coach. You don't want to wear the hat, you can go home.
Yeah. Easy choice.
That was his choice to go home. Sit on the sidelines.
We wear the hat. Yeah.
We play with a hat. What about 4-12-4? Yeah, Keegan is a fucking Ryder Cup killer.
This is going to sound stupid, but I think that there's some truth to it. I feel like John Daly would be awesome on the Ryder Cup.
As a captain? No, as a player. Oh.
Because he would get to unleash his inner American redneck. But we are trying to win.
Yeah, but I mean, I feel like if he knew that it was for the Stars and Stripes, John Daly shows up. Shouldn't Tiger just be the coach? I think Tiger doesn't.
There's something about it. He doesn't want to do it.
If Charlie was on the team. I feel like he might later, way later.
I'm actually surprised Coach K hasn't tried to do it. That's something he absolutely will try to do.
He's only been like, let me fix the Ryder Cup team. He's going to do it in two years.
If like John Rahm has a broken leg and Victor Hovland is like getting married that week and can't be there. He's going to fucking definitely try to get into it.
I'm going to get into golf. I can coach this team.
All right. My who's back is playoff baseball.
We're back this week. Cubs didn't make it.
We talked about that on Friday or Wednesday or whatever day. Well, they just got officially eliminated.
Yeah, they got officially eliminated. Phillies are in.
And that's it for this podcast. All right.
Congrats, Max. Yeah.
Let's go, Phils. Your Orioles.
My Orioles. My Orioles future.
I will be rooting for the Orioles. Same.
I'll be rooting hard for the Orioles, 35 to 1. Jake's fish are in.
Yeah, my hometown fish. Yeah.
You're not allowed to have two baseball teams. I mean, my hometown team.
Your treat was a little confusing. But you're a Yankees fan.
Yeah, I'm a Yankees fan. I grew up in South Florida.
I grew up. But you're not.
You can't like. I grew up rooting for both.
But ever since I left South Florida after high school, I haven't really followed the But you had Derek Cheater in your. Yeah.
Yeah. You're like, Derek Cheater's your hero.
Yeah. Who are the Fish playing? Phillies.
Oh. Let's go Fish.
Yeah, this is going to piss you off Everybody's doing the fish Everybody's doing the fish That's what their song was I'm also rooting for Dan Heron's Diamondbacks Okay He did invite us to a game if we want to go In Arizona? No in Milwaukee I know Wednesday would probably be the only day We'll discuss discuss it. I think it's probably a no, but I said to a cat, I was like, let me check my schedule.
If I get to do the slide, the one where all the reporters break their arms on, I'll go if I can do the slide. I think I'm going to decide if they win the first game, I would like to go laugh at the Brewers.
That would be fun. That would be a real haterade move.
That would be the meme, verbal meme, me at my haters' funerals. Yeah.
That would be me. So, yeah, playoff baseball is back.
Nothing better. I'm very excited.
Max, do you feel confident? You said you were going to get swept by the Braves? No. Doesn't sound like very fighting of you.
I never said that. Well, you did.
No, I feel confident. The lineup is among the best in baseball The rotation You want to say Wheeler's a good player Nola, he scares me Ranger Suarez The rotation is a question mark The relievers are a question mark But you can hit And People gotta come to the bank People come to the bank Spencer Strider definitely doesn't want to come to the bank.
And people got to come to the bank. People come to the bank.

You don't want to come to the bank.

Spencer Strider definitely doesn't want to come to the bank.

You do not want to be in the bank.

That guy had a quote that went viral last week that says that his one hot take about baseball is that no fans should be in the stadium.

What?

That guy's not ready.

He said he liked baseball better in the COVID years than he did with fans in the stadium.

What a loser.

We got to get you to go to a game with Marlins, man.

Oh, I'm sure he'll be there this week.

Max versus Marlins, man.

Max, all you got to do is win one in Atlanta.

Well, they got to beat Marlins two out of three.

Matt, come on.

They've never lost a playoff series in a full season in franchise history.

Okay, so we're just not counting the COVID yearoff series in a full season in franchise history. Okay.

So we're just not counting the COVID year now?

In a full season.

Okay.

Yeah.

When was the last time they were in the playoffs? That means they've been to the playoffs like three times.

Yeah.

Dr. Willis.

Yeah.

Two times.

Juan Pierre.

Max.

That was a fun team.

Win one in Atlanta.

Then they got to come to the bank.

Then they got to come to the bank.

Then they got to come to the bank.

But when they won the World Series, were you happy?

No. So I kept my Yankees fan no so i kept my yankee stuff on yeah i was given i was given a marlins world shirt people got mad at that was a that was a classic that was a classic did you take it home and wear it eventually no i scooped up dirt that was a classic jake marsh big j tweet he was just like shout out the marlins yeah that's all he was doing he was just doing a shout out the marlins yeah uh okay jake you're who's back of the week uh my who's back is trent dilfer yeah he's the head coach of uab and he went crazy on his staff on the sidelines i don't know if you guys saw this uh i did actually see the game uh a certain friend of mine had a mortal lock on the game halftime and full game you saw the clip neither covered uh not even close uh yeah i saw the clip i was watching the game because i yeah i ride with my friends so to speak uh and it was bad the problem with trent dilfer doing this is that he wasn't good enough as a player for people to watch and be like well you got to listen to what trent dilfer says he knows what he's doing he had a clip go viral a few years ago in high school yeah yeah i didn't realize he was like yeah he like grabbed his player and shoved him like on ESPN, he was the most like calm guy.

You can't lose football games. No,

NFL and still win fiery.

He,

he's,

he's building a culture there.

He's trying to change the culture.

Yeah.

You cannot lose in the NFL and still win.

It's a great quote.

It's a fact,

I guess.

Yeah.

Mathematically,

it's true.

Well,

the Colts today.

Yeah.

They won when they lost. Right.
Big cut. Yeah, they did.
Memes just sent us another big titty girl. No, he didn't actually.
But wait. Oh, memes.
The girl you sent me, I'm already following. I think I know why Trent Dilfer has so much rage all the time.
Because he's brought up as like a shitty quarterback that won a Super Bowl. Yeah, that's probably 90% of the time his name is mentioned when you're talking about football.
It's like, well, you don't need a good quarterback to win. Trent Dilfer won a Super Bowl.
So he goes, he wears that all the time. That's always like lurking in the back of his head that he's like the butt of this joke.
And so just snaps on people yeah and all like it's any quarterback any nfl quarterback who gets to that level think about how good they were their entire life yeah and then when everyone says you suck it's like wait no dude i'm fucking i was the best high school player in my state i was a fucking awesome stud in college i don't suck you suck yeah now he's taking it out on children and his employees yeah he just walks around with I don't suck you suck energy all the time. Yeah.
Yep. I I don't suck.
You suck. Yeah.
Now he's taking it out on children and his employees. Yeah.
He just walks around with I don't suck. You suck energy all the time.
Yeah. I actually don't suck at all.
Yeah. I'm very good.
Yeah. Actually, you suck.
Yeah. Sir.
Did he cry or did I make that up? No, that was Mark Brunel. Oh, yeah.
Bruno cried over deflated football. I'm sure Trent Dilfer's cried on the air before.
He said the Pats Dynasty was over when they lost opening night to the Chiefs. And they won three Super Bowls after.
Oh, yeah. And then the Dilfer contract negotiation.
That was like a Monday night week two game or something, right? Opening night. He asked ESPN for a private jet because he's like, Herb Street gets a private jet.
Yeah, he has to fly private if he does game day and then has to go call a game in a different city. All right.
I love Herb Street. He's a friend of our show.
The tweet where he flexes about his travel schedule. I don't need it.
Oh, my favorite was. We're at the point now at the end of a Sunday episode where it's like just let it fly.
I'll say this to his face when he comes back on because I do love the guy and he's the best college broadcaster out there. But when he's like, look at my schedule, and then I go back to my son's high school game.
I mean, mine is like midway to Lincoln back in eight hours. And it's also like once every three weeks.
But he does it every week. And he's like, yeah, I'm flying in style.
It's sick. I would say that my last month and a half would rival Herb Streets.
No, dude. Yeah, but his is condensed.
No, no, no. His is everyday.
I don't think you've seen the tweet. If you break it down.
No, I don't think you've seen the tweet. If you break it down flight by flight.
PFT, he does. I think I got him beat this month.
PFT, he does Thursday night football. He then goes to game day on Friday.
Yep. Then he goes to his son's high school game back in Tennessee on Friday night.
then goes back to game day, then oftentimes goes to another game where he calls the game. That's pretty good.
It's pretty insane. Well, it helps having a PJ.
Yeah, he's got the PJ. If you count every drive to the airport as a private jet flight, then I fly back twice a day to feed Blake and then fly back out.
I think I got him. I think I got her.
He had a great tweet on, I think it was Friday. He was like, I woke up this morning and in the shower, all I could think about was the Detroit Lions.
I love that. I love it.
Yeah, that's special. Where was Thursday night? Oh, yeah, San Francisco.
No, San Francisco was the crazy week. It was like two weeks ago.
He went San Francisco to wherever. Yeah, he's – listen.
Hardest working guy in showroom. Oh, it's a graphic.
Yeah, it's a graphic. I thought it was just a tweet.
No, he tweets the video. All right, here it is.
This is pretty cool. He goes from Tennessee to San Francisco, Thursday night football, 2,000 miles.

He then goes all the way back to his son's game Friday night back in Tennessee, 2,000 miles.

So that's 4,000 miles.

Then he went and did game day at Notre Dame.

And then he went and called the game all the way down in LSU and then went back home.

Well, this could be.

That's literally the whole country.

This could be a partnership with this company.

Yeah, I know that.

Yeah, but still.

Yeah, but I still don't like it.

Okay.

Because I use it quite a little better.

I know, Jake.

I know it's a partnership.

It's an ad.

Yeah.

I still don't like it.

What do you want me to say?

He does the whole country.

But I still love the guy.

Again, I'll say it to him when we have him on again. All right.
Anything else? I think maybe we should just do like a... Memes, can you make a burner account? And we'll follow the hottest chicks with the biggest titties.
And then we'll all share it for like... It's whenever we get depressed.
For a loss. Yeah, right.
After a loss. It's our breaking case of emergency.
After a loss, you get five minutes with the account. Five minutes of scrolling.
Start a like losses account that other people can find. They've been out in the replies recently.
I don't know if you guys have seen. Oh, that one? The biggest 18-year-old on Twitter? I bet she was just replying to me.
That one girl that's everywhere. I think she's got to be a bot.
In a lot of my tweets, I've seen some things. I thought I was just hot shit.
Her name's always Roxy, and she's always like, you want to look at this? And it's blurred out. Yeah.
I have to click about that. Oh, you have to.
Still her. Still her.
Still hasn't showed the vagine. Thickest 18-year-old on Twitter.
Yeah. Or on OnlyFans.
What's a horny version of doom scrolling that you would do? If you lose a game, you get five minutes of poon scrolling. Yeah.
What do you mean? The opposite of that? Like the horny version of doom scrolling, when you're scrolling just to see stuff, you know? Yeah. I don't know.
Poon scrolling. Yeah, it's spoon scrolling.
Okay, spoon scrolling. Okay.
