For real, for real.

They're awesome.

This was a good game all around for the Lions.

The only, ironically, the only weak spot that I thought that the Lions had tonight was their punting game.

Jack Fox had a down night.

Didn't matter.

Didn't matter.

And the Lions went into Lambeau. This is two straight winning in lambo they obviously won week 18 last year they go in there they punch the packers in the mouth david montgomery bear for life was absolutely unstoppable and yeah the lions are for real like that was a real they they've proven it and i think i think al micha Michaels was saying it.
They've gone to Arrowhead. They've gone to Lambeau.
They won both games as a road teams and they are like looking great. They even had that moment in the second half where they were, the game was maybe slipping away from them a little bit.
And Ben Johnson was like, no, no, let's, let's, let's go back to what we were doing. Let's be aggressive again, and they marched right down the field.
And yeah, I mean, Jared looks awesome. Amon Rawls, every time he catches a ball, he runs so angry.
Their defense was firing. The Lions are for real, and I enjoyed the hell out of this game.
People will say I'm petty. People will say I'm being a bitch.
I don't care. This is going to be in the runnings for best Bears games of the year.
This one tonight. The Lions were just really good in every facet of the game.
I don't think you don't have to be a Bears fan or a Lions fan to know that. Like watching it, the Lions look like a legitimately good team.
Like they should be contending. The expectation has been raised for the Lions.
I feel like at some point we're going to run into the place where the Lions are no longer the feel-good plucky underdogs. They're going to have a target on their back now as a legit good team in the NFL.
I think they're up to it, too. That defense is awesome, or at least tonight it was good.
They've had a couple hiccups here and there, like that Seahawks game sucked. But they dodged a bullet with Brian Branch.
That looked bad when he went down for a second. And then he got hurt again.
He got re-injured. Well, yeah, because he shouldn't have gone back in the game.
I know. He's a dog.
He's a dog. He's a dog's dog.
And so, yeah, when he hurt his leg, I think everybody was like, oh, shit, I hope that's not an Achilles. Because he got carted off.
He looked immobile. And then they just taped him up.
And he's like, I'll go back in there. Very clearly not ready to play yet.
But at least he's not done for the season because I think a lot of people thought, you know, worst-case scenario when they see that. But, yeah, the defense looked surprisingly good from the Lions.
Jared was throwing blocks out there in the first half, laying people out, doing his best impression of George Pickens on a crackback. It was pretty cool to see.
And, yeah, Amon Ra looked good. Everybody looked good on the Lions tonight.
Sam Laporta is awesome. Yeah.
Sam Laporta looked awesome. Like he has been, he just gets targets all day.
Yeah. The Lions are for, I mean, they went into Lambeau and they were favorites, which is very rare.
I think it was the first time in like 30 years or something. So yeah, the Lions feel good.
There's nothing better than winning a Thursday night game and being like, free football on Sunday. My team already won.
That is the best feeling. We talk about it with March Madness when you win that early Thursday game and you're like, I can just watch basketball for the next day and a half and not have to worry about it.
You get that, Lions fans. You get that all weekend long.
Just soak it in. Being like, yeah, we're 3-1.
And i'm looking at their schedule right now i don't i mean they're they're i think there are seven and three eight and two team uh going into the final stretch like they they don't have they have a couple tough games but they also have some games that they should be pretty big favorites so yeah you're right pft they might we might be talking in december and people like lions are just really good and we don't like they the plucky underdog anymore. Yeah.
Do you think people will start to not like the Lions as much? Because they were very easy to root for with hard knocks, and the history of losing recently has been forever since they had a good team, and now they do have the expectations, and people will find a way to turn on them. I'm sure about that.
If I know anything about sports, anything that's been built up that people like, they'll start to hate eventually.

It sucks, but it's going to happen. I don't think I'm going to get there this year.
The only way I can see myself rooting against the Lions is if they're playing the commanders, but that's obviously for a personal reason. But besides that, I hope that people don't turn their back on them.
But we are going to get a full Friday.

If you're a Lions fan, you get a full Friday of sports takes

entirely about your Detroit Lions and how good they are.

So bathe in that, wallow in it.

Who knows when it's going to happen again,

but you've had the game the day after the Chiefs game,

and now you have this.

It's a good time to be a Lions fan.

To answer your question, I don't think people will hate Lions fans

unless they win a Super Bowl, and then they would start to hate them. But I don't think people will hate Lions fans unless they

win a Superbowl and then they would start to hate them. But I don't think, I think it would take a

Superbowl. It's, it's kind of like some franchises.
I mean, the Cubs were one of them where it's like

the, after that people, the Red Sox, when they won, there's like after that people start to hate

it. But like the first one, I think people would all be about because it is a tortured fan base.

So, yeah, I think it would take a Super Bowl win for people to start turning on Lions fans. Yeah.
So we spent this week talking about the tush push and a rule that some like barely anybody wants to see change. But some voices want to see it change.
But there's a bigger rule that needs to be changed in the NFL that got brought to light tonight. The fact that a clock at zero is not reviewable in professional football is absolutely ridiculous.
It's the one thing that you for certain can get right on a replay. There's no subjectivity to it, whatever.
It's just straight up, is the clock at zero? And somebody explained it to me. They said, under current NFL rules, the penalty is not triggered when the clock hits zero the trigger is the referee's judgment after that so it's a judgment call technically because the clock the clock doesn't technically hit zero until the ref realizes that it hits zero it's like a tree falling in the forest question and the NFL is a king they're the king of making simple things and and taking them and making them so complicated that you have to have a philosophy degree to understand if there's no time left it's very easy to do review it and it was i mean listen when you play at lambo you got to play against the refs so we saw this remember that picture of the of the ref lambo leaping that was a real picture i saw actually happened i saw one tonight yeah the packers doing an end zone celebration with all the referees that were dancing with them yeah i can't how do they keep getting away with this i saw they did a jersey swap too after the game it's unreal so like good job guys we'll get you next time yeah there was also a fan who poured a beer on amon ross st brown um i obviously had to to fake that i was upset uh but i actually am not upset because I actually think that's fair game.
If you come into a fan's territory, you can get beer poured on you. Like once you cross the threshold, that's our home.
That's the guy that came to play tonight in Green Bay. He's the only one.
You can't. It's like getting upset.
Like if you go into the forest and a bear attacks you like you you're in the fans habitat

now i actually think that if a player goes in the fan into the stands like they could also get they get punched like that's just that's our rule we can't go on the field you can't come in the stands yeah the rules are there for a reason yeah yeah max i want to know as a philly fan um green bay good sports town bad sports town they booed the packers at halftime. That's just keeping your boys accountable.
That's fine. Okay.
Okay. I have a question.
I think Jordan Love sucks, and I actually hate him now. It took me three weeks, but I fully hate him because every time I think he sucks, he then makes a good play, which means like, wait, maybe he doesn't suck, and it feels like it's almost instantly the even i don't have to say it out loud the thought comes into my head i'm like he sucks and then he'll do something awesome i'm like fuck maybe he doesn't but i still i still think he sucks i think he's i think he's an average quarterback i don't think he sucks i think he's an average he's in an impossible situation to succeed in because unless he's one of the greatest quarterbacks to ever play the game of football people gonna be like man the Packers fell off yeah the I actually I should be rooting for that I should be rooting for him to be just below average so it's a hard question of like what do we do with him that's what we need can't can't have it be like definite one way or the other just Just have them be in limbo of like, he does suck, but he doesn't suck.
He kind of sucks. I want that forever.
It's actually true that the worst quarterback that you can have isn't a shitty quarterback. That's actually not, it's not that bad to have a terribly shitty quarterback.
The worst one to have is one that shows like flashes of brilliance and, but then sucks for the rest of the time. So you think like, give him another year well let's give him another year and then you just drag yourself on the memes you're looking at pft like he's crazy right now you memes you and i like zach wilson justin fields it's good what's happening because we have an answer the answer is important it's not having an answer that's way scarier yeah we have an answer our quarterbacks suck right now the jets are acting like they don't have an answer and maybe maybe we spoke a little bit too soon about zach wilson because you'll hear it in the rest of the show we talk about the chiefs jets game and how don't overthink it the chiefs are going to whomp them some more details some more revelations have come to light since then that I think we should address.

Zach Wilson today, he was determined to win over the respect of his teammates,

and today he brought ice cream for every single player and coach in the building.

So I feel like maybe Zach Wilson might be the guy.

That was fake.

That was fake. Oh, no.

Was it?

Yeah. I saw a Jets player tweet, i didn't get any ice cream oh that's so sad that's so sad yeah i believe i quote you and said it would win me over i was about to say the same thing i looked at it and i saw that it was fake but i was like but wait i would if he did this i would like i would be a fan of it so i was like i it would win me over like this would win this information yeah i mean i guess i looked at i saw the guy had like 9 000 followers he looks so fake when you look at his uh and also i think one of his other tweets was like the most recent tweet was about the jets the jets players kneeled in practice today in protest of not signing col Kaepernick.
It looks like a legit source, though, at first. Well, yeah, because one of the players tweeted about it, and Big Cat's tweeted about it.
PFT, listen, I've said this a million times. If you don't get caught, that means you're not on the internet enough.
That means you're not doing your job. Part of our job is to be on the internet and to go hard in the paint.
Sometimes you get get caught that's the whole point of being on the internet so when people are like oh you got caught yeah no shit dude i'm fucking going hard 365 24 7 that's what i do okay i tweet i'm on the internet that's what we do off you i'll never log off i'll never you can't you can't be ashamed no i'm not i'm not ashamed i'm upset that it's not a real story because i know i agree i agree with that yeah it would have ruled that sucks well zach should bring ice cream to the team tomorrow that's what he should do if he's any kind of a leader he will there's one other thing i want to talk about um before i do that please everyone uh today's national coffee day so 15% off in the Stella Blue Coffee store go to StellaBlueCoffee.com right now uh 15% off and

I'm basically Zach Wilson. I'm buying you all coffee, 15% off.
Should we talk about the Dame trade real quick? Yeah. Fleeced.
Damian Lillard is a Milwaukee Buck. Kind of crazy how it all went down.
I read the whole report today that he essentially was like, when he said he wanted to go to the Heat, the Blazers front office was like, fuck this. We you to the heat kind of a spite deal where they're like we're not doing that uh and then when it got to late summer early fall he was like okay uh that's cool i'll just come back and he was showing up to blazers facility for the last two weeks and the gm uh was just not talking to him and then they're like fuck this we're just going to trade him and now the Bucs have Damian Lillard and Hank you have to be a little nervous about this a little nervous I think Damian Lillard's a little old little past his prime but it's not something you love to see yeah it's not something you love to see like it's their defense obviously, their defense takes a step back because Drew Holiday is elite defensively,

but I don't know how you...

The Bucs now have

a perfect three

that attack you from all different spots.

Chris Middleton, mid-range,

Damian Lillard from three, and then

Giannis at the rim.

The spacing is going to be awesome. Let's talk about spacing.

Spacing is going to be sick. Talk about spacing.
We're not talking about the Celtics picking up Porzingis. We're going to be spaced all over the place.
Did he break his leg already? No. I don't think he broke his leg.
I didn't read anything about that. I think you're confusing now with today's interview talking about Porzingis' injury.
Oh, speaks on recovery from foot injury? Yeah, as far as I know, Porzingis is still very healthy. Well, as healthy as he's too bright.
Yeah, he hasn't played that much. He's good to go for training camp.
Alright, that was, yeah, he did a whole interview about how he was always injured. That can get confusing.
He did an entire interview talking about his rehabilitation. So I don't know how much of the Blazers' refusal to trade him to the Knicks was out of spite because that's where he wanted to go and how much was the fact that – Yeah, yeah, sorry.
The Heat was out of spite and how much was the fact that they weren't able to offer what they needed in return for him because they asked for either Bam or Jimmy Butler. And the heat was like, no, we're not going to do either one of those things.
And so then the blazers like, well, okay, we're going to then go out and try to find the best deal that we can get from any team. That's not the heat.
So they, they did engage the heat, but, um, the only like the best package that they got, I actually don't think they got a bad package in return for it. Yeah.
No, there's got eight and two yeah no the heat the heat are claiming that basically they stopped negotiations and the heat never had a fair chance to to bring in a third team to get more picks i like it for the nba uh because i think that like the idea that every player is just going to go to the heat of the lakers sucks for the nba so this is kind of nice. I know that the bucks are already a title contender and it's not like he went to nowhere.
Like Giannis is Giannis. But it is kind of nice to be like, oh yeah, the guy that wanted to go here and demanded to go here, didn't get to go here.
Like it's a little bit of a pushback on, on players just deciding wherever they want to go whenever they want to do it.

Yeah, because the GMs, they have a job that they have to do,

and their job is to maximize value for their players

if they're trading them somewhere.

They're not there to make sure their players go to a comfortable home.

Their job is to try to make their team set up for success in the future.

So, of course, it was always kind of a pipe dream for players to be like,

I want to be traded, and here's where I want to be traded to.

And the other. So, of course, it was always kind of a pipe dream for players to be like, I want to be traded and here's where I want to be traded to.
And the only leverage that he had was saying that he's not going to play if he gets traded to a different team. Something tells me he's going to play on the box.
Yeah, I think he's going to play on the box. So, wait, Hank, you kind of deflected there.
Nervous? No. Not at all? Yeah, I mean, you gotta you gotta be good teams to make it the finals this is no different okay i mean yeah i think the bucks got better i think drew was really good i thought they were really good with drew obviously uh you know the they beat him in seven middleton was hurt uh but yeah they're always they're always going to be a threat but the celtics jason tatum and jalen brown are in their prime damon's you know washed up okay and perzingis washed up dame lord washed up and perzingis stays healthy like you talk about spacing the celtics are going to be unstoppable max Max? If he's healthy.
Sixers?

I don't know.

I don't know.

Get James Harden out.

Bring in Drew Holiday, I guess.

And then it'll be just the same thing over and over again

to lose in the second round and be like, oh, yeah.

It was only year one of Drew Holiday.

I don't know.

I heard that the Warriors were going to make a play for Drew Holiday, too.

There's like every team in the NBA is trying to make a play for Drew Holiday. Yeah.
Jake, from your perspective, Miami Heat, Pat Riley, is he done? Yeah. I think Pat Riley might be washed.
Yeah. Also, are you going to throw out your Damian Lillard Heat jersey that you bought? I didn't think you'd tell people about that.
Look look at jake i think i think people were overreacting before all the facts came out and then when it came out that they wanted jimmy or bam it's a little much old pat riley would have found a way to get done yeah probably yeah also uh pft or i'll say it after after we're done with the game talk. What? No, go ahead.
We're done with the game talk. Your dog is the worst gambler of all time.
I know. He sucks.
But I've been saying that he sucks from day one. He's the very first.
Yeah, that's what I've been doing. I've been fading him every week, and I'm making good money.
He's 0 for 4 on Thursday Night Football taking his shit on teams. Maybe he's shitting on the teams that he doesn't like.
No, listen, it's kind of like the quarterback thing. You'd rather have a dog be 0 for 4 or 4 and 0 than 2 and 2.
Now you know what to do. Listen, the first time I recorded him, I told everybody.
I was like, he's never seen a game of football in his life. He's never watched the NFL.
Don't trust this dog. And sure enough, he stinks at gambling.
I'm making a lot of money fading him yeah fade Blake um okay anything else I love him but he sucks at gambling yeah uh all right let's kick it to ourselves we've got a great rest of the show picks and preview Booger McFarlane Firefest and let's kick it to ourselves all right it's time for NFL weekend picks and preview segment brought to you by Uber Eats. We love Uber Eats.
A part of my take, and when you're preparing for NFL Sunday, knowing you'll be watching all the action for eight straight hours, not leaving your couch, you want to get delivered on Uber Eats, the place to get almost, almost anything. Get groceries, alcohol, everyday essentials, in addition to the best local restaurants you love.
You won't be able to get winning picks delivered from this show or uber eats so in other words get almost almost anything with uber eats order now uber eats delivered with uber eats uh you can get nachos you can get pizza you can get deodorant you can get everything you can't get a lighthouse you can't get a stadium-sized score can get almost, almost anything with Uber Eats. So get grocery, alcohol, everyday essentials in addition to the restaurant food you love.
In other words, get almost, almost anything with Uber Eats. Order now.
Alcohol in select markets and 21 plus to order. Product availability may vary by region.
See app for details. Uber Eats.
Get almost, almost anything. Order now at Uber Eats.
Okay, boys. It's time.
Week four. I was thinking about this.
I know that we love the fact that there's 17 games in an NFL season now. More football, more better.
But I do kind of miss the fact that when you get to week four, you're like first quarter done. Yeah.
In your head, you're like, here's where we are. Yeah.
Because every coach will be like, well, really the football season is a game of four quarters, week one through four, five through eight, et cetera, et cetera. So then you can just say, okay, we're going to wipe the slate clean.
If you go, oh, and four. Right.
And the first four, now it screws up the math a little bit, but that just means more time. If you're, if you're a bad team, I don't know if anybody in this room roots for any bad teams right now, but if you happen to stink, then you can just be like, all right, we're 25% done.
We have 75% of the season left ahead of us. Now you have more time to make up that ground.
You are really the swing vote in this room right now. Yeah, I am.
Half this room is bad teams. Half this room is good teams.
You are the swing vote. Things could go very, very poorly for me.
My eyes are fully aware, fully open on that front. Join us.
Join us. It's fun over here.
We might just be the best bad team. No expectations.
I think we might be the best bad team. Yeah, you guys are a very good bad team.
Really good bad. Like, if there was a Super Bowl of bad teams, the losers, the NIT.
If the NFL had an NIT, I'd put the commies as a one seed. Yes.
So week four, we got some great games. I'm excited about this slate.
I'm more optimistic than I was about week three. And we get to start a London game.
So the Jaguars are going back-to-back London weeks. I actually, if you're a Jaguars fan, is there a small part of you that kind of, obviously want to win this is a season you're playing in but if you go to and oh everyone's going to be like hey the real home there's going to be a lot of talk about london we talked about it last week a little bit of how those rumors those those rumblings are kind of intensifying yes with them asking for more money for the stadium you might not want to see london do too good with the jaguars i think that's kind of a valid point because in the back of your mind it's like dad what if dad just goes out to the store for cigarettes and never comes back like what if the jaguars never come back what if they just keep winning in london yeah if they keep winning over there it's going to be tough but i think i like the jaguars first of all i like them a lot in this game i do too the toy.
I think Ritter, some people are starting to ask

about Heineke. The word Heineke is bubbling up a little bit in Atlanta.
I'm asking about Heineke. I am as well.
If you look at what Ritter's good at, he doesn't turn the ball over. He throws hardly any interception.
I think he had his first interception last week. So he's a safe quarterback, but you've got weapons that you would like to take some chances with.
He kind of stinks at play action. Heineke is awesome at play action.
He does take chances. Kyle Pitts gets open all the time, never gets the ball.
Yeah. It's a matter of do you want to keep being kind of like average and being safe or do you want to take a chance? Thinking playoffs.
I think Heineke is the guy that would get you to the offs. The Jaguars are interesting, though, because there was a lot of expectations.

Some people in the media were saying Super Bowl Jaguars, Pete Prisco, schedule.

Look at the schedule.

Look at the schedule.

The Jaguars, I do think that this is going to be their best performance.

They have the most drops in the NFL right now.

So it's not all Trevor Lawrence.

Nine drops.

Calvin Ridley has been coached up to the point where they're getting back to saying, like, just be yourself, man. Just be like, just remember who you are, which is never good.
Mr. Parlay.
Yeah, there's also revenge game to revenge game for Calvin Ridley. Yes, there is also for the Jaguars, never a good sign in week four for a team that's supposed to go to the playoffs to have rumors about who's calling the plays.
So there was a rumor that Doug Peterson took over the play calling from Press Taylor. Then Doug Peterson came out in the press conference on Monday and said, no, that is that is fiction.
That is not true. The fact that we're having that discussion is not good.
It's not good, but it's just one lot. It was a bad loss to a division opponent at home.
It was a tough thing to lose to the Texans. You really get your ass kicked kind of by the Texans and their shitty offensive line.
That was embarrassing, the Jaguars. I think Peterson's too good of a coach to not bounce back from that game.
They're supposed to be the Jaguars, and in this case, it's actually a good thing that you're supposed to be the Jag. Yeah.
Yeah. Jack dominate London.
You got it. You got to go and play in front of your home crowd over there.
The Toy Story game. I'm excited to watch the Toy Stories.
I'm excited to see what they do. The animation because the NHL game was awesome when they had the cartoons running around out there.
I'm giving my kids over under 15 minutes is what I'm expecting out of them. That's a lot.
Yeah, that's a lot. That's a lot.
I'm praying for a fight. I would love to see the Toy Story characters fight each other on the field.
Yes. Or I'm not rooting for an injury unlike Steven Che.
But if there was an injury, I'm curious to see, like, will Slinky the dog's back be broken and just laying on the field? How good are the instant motion cameras that they're using? Are they going to be able to cut away during a crazy turn of events in the game? Do we get a streaker? If we get a streaker, what are they going to do there? I'm looking forward to seeing Booger dressed up in his whatever cartoon they're going to make Booger. Yeah, so we're going to have Booger on later, and he is part of this broadcast.
Last thing about this game, I know that Jake's going to want to be like, Lunder, Lunder, Lunder. In Tottenham Stadium, it's 5-1 to the over.

That's where they're playing.

So don't even try it, Jake.

Don't even try it. You're going to do it still?

If it gets to me.

Oh, okay.

Well, what's your nerd nugget for this game?

My nerd nugget is that Jaguars running back Travis Etienne

is coming off his ninth time out of 20 games

with 100 scrimmage yards.

Last season at Wembley, he ran for 156 yards. Fast grass, but this is Wembley.
That was Wembley. Different stadium.
Also, this is a football podcast. This game's at Wembley.
Oh, it is? No, this game's at Tottenham, I thought. No, this game's at Wembley.
Oh, it is? That changes everything. That does change everything.
Okay, so the Lunder's back on. The Lunder is back on.
All right. Maybe next week? When's the game in Tottenham? Is it next week? Is Tottenham next week? They're going to be doing both.
What were you going to say, Hank? Elite dual screen. Tottenham's next week? Okay, so put a reminder for the over next week.
Elite two screen Sunday morning with the Ryder Cup in football. Yeah.
What are the times of the Ryder Cup? It's like 3 a.m. to noon.
So we missed the beginning. I'm not going to be watching that.
But it's perfect. But you will Sunday morning.
Yeah. You have multiple TVs? I do have a lot of TVs.
So, that's what I'm saying. That was nice.
I actually paid Hank before this to be like, make sure you bring up that I have a lot of TVs. No, but it's like, you know, usually you wake up.
Because you wake up early. You watch the football game.
It's like, eh. Usually the game's not exciting.
You kind of regret waking up that early. This is like you got all the action going on first thing in the morning.
I'm excited for the Ryder Cup. Did you guys see Brooks's wife, Jenna, who's a fan of the show? She's lovely.
She was getting ready for a day with the girls. Yeah.
And she looked like she was really ready for that day. And also, she was going to hang out with her friends.
And she brought the girls with her. And the girls looked like fun.
The girls look like they're.

But Brooks is a friend, so we're not even going to.

I was thinking about it.

I say this, and I was like, wait, Jerry asked Brooks what his wife's feet size was on the show.

The girls are looking really perky.

There must be some good coffee.

This is all due respect.

All due respect, Brooks.

Your wife's fucking hot.

Yeah.

Brooks is listening to this.

The thing is, like, he would listen and be like, yeah, she is.

She is. Yes, she is.
Listen, Jenna knows she's hot. Yeah, she's a good-looking lady.
She's a good-looking lady. Hi, Jenna.
Yeah. What's up, Jenna? Respectfully.
Respectfully. Yeah, very respectfully.
Respectfully. Did you see Victor Hovland's hole in two? No.
Maybe a real dimple head could explain this to me. So he hit a ball out of bounds and then hit a provisional.
I don't know if it was out of bounds or if they were just screwing around because it was practicing. They were just hitting balls.
He hit a hole in two. He hit from the teeth in the hole on a par four.
That's not a... It sounds like you're making a lot of excuses for a not real hole in one, Jake.
Now everyone's going to ask questions about your hole in one, knowing how fast and loose you play with the rules. I don't know the full context, but apparently it wasn't his first shot off the tee.
I would be pissed off if I hit a hole in one in practice round. You got to save those good shots.
And your hole in one was the first shot off the tee? Yes, it was. Huh.
Interesting. Everything on it.
What? Betting everything on it. Betting everything on it? Yeah.
All the popcorn. What do you mean? Living my whole life.
Your whole life. Yeah.
Okay. All right.
Dead. Dolphins at Bills.
Wait, I'm a little bit concerned about the loser behavior from the Jaguars Reddit, though. Oh, yeah.
That still concerns me that somebody from their fan base logged on to the Titans Reddit and asked them to say something. The Texans, yeah.
No, no. Oh, the Titans.
That's right. The Jaguars.
The Jaguars fan logged on to to the Tennessee Titans read it and said hey we're supposed to be the best teams in this division can somebody please make a similar post on our Reddit forum right just to gas us up a little bit that's that's loser talk and that concerns me a little bit and also the fact that I just feel bad for Jackson I don't like even entertaining the fact that Jacksonville would lose their team because what would they do with that entire downtown area in the stadium? It would just turn into an open-air meth lab. It would just be Florida-Georgia every year.
Yeah, Florida-Georgia. That's the one game.
What are they doing? Are they playing soccer out there? Wait, this is Florida-Georgia. This is Florida-Georgia.
Yeah, Jaguars-Falcons. Are they playing soccer? They're playing soccer.
Oh, the bouncing. It's all all right it's not like the new office has a basketball court uh okay dolphins and bills definitely something that has crossed my mind a couple times being like no hank we're gonna you're gonna you're gonna swallow the key no i'm i have reports that say you can't hear it.
Oh, inside the studio. You do.
Okay, good reports. All right, Dolphins at Bills.
This game will be center sound. We all agree.
Yep. So excited for this game.
Just a quick stat for you. This is a 12th team in the last 20 years to be 3-0 straight up and against the spread and be an underdog in a game.
Interesting. The last time, the records for those teams, 2-9 straight up, 3-8 against the spread.
I also, I know that, you know, if and nuts were candy and butts every day would be Christmas. Wait, if and butts were candy and nuts every day would be christmas if the bills had beaten the jets week one i think this line would be like five six yeah i mean it's even a little bit weird to me that it's only three yeah uh because it's the bills at home they definitely don't look like the same team that they were in week one their rush defense is really good yeah and Yeah.
And their defensive line is awesome. I think this is, I also just think that I might have, I might just put this in my gambling portfolio.
Jake, remind me this. Any team that scores 70 fade them the next week.
Yeah. Isn't there, you think there's an element of getting so many yards on offense that you're still tired from doing all that running? Well, just not only tired, but like if you score 70 points in a game on 71 plays, you can't tell me that you don't go into the facility next day.
Like what bad tape? We're the best. Yeah.
We'll just run the same place. For sure.
And if you get stopped on a couple of plays in a row, you're like, what's wrong with us? Yeah. Against the Bills.
I like the Bills in this game. I do too.
And I love the over. You have to bet it.
I also feel bad for people in Wisconsin and Michigan who have to watch the broncos bears instead of watching this game it's like wisconsin and michigan well youtube tv yeah you could do youtube tv and minnesota has to watch vegas at los angeles for some reason that i don't really understand everybody should be able to watch this game everyone wants to watch this game this weekend this game should have been flexed to sunday night i know they can't but they should have they should have done done a couple of flexes. They should have flexed the Broncos and the Bears to like 6 a.m.
And then they should have 6 a.m. Like they actually kicked the ball off at 6 a.m.
in Chicago. Yeah.
And maybe the Jets Chiefs to 3 a.m. And like done a midnight madness of football.
It would be great. Because it would be great if you said back to back to back to back.
Right. Because no football is truly bad football at 6 a.m.
because it's totally bonus football. And also, any game that's a standalone game, people are going to watch.
Yeah. It's like if it's the middle of NFL Sunday and half the games are dog shit, then you just ignore them and you forget about them.
But if it's like the Bengals Rams game on Monday Night Football, everyone's like, oh yeah, we'll watch it.'ll keep watching, even though it's bad. I am nervous about the come down of two Monday night football games.
Two weeks in a row. I think this Monday night is going to be tough for us.
It'll be tough. But also, it's not like it was a true doubleheader.
True. Because there was so much overlap.
True. It was like we were getting one and a half football games.
Yeah, it's true. Okay.
So, Dolphins and Bills. Yeah, I like the Bills in this game.
This might be dumb. Maybe the Dolphins are unstoppable.
But I just think that the Bills, I really think that this is a perception thing from week one because they did look so bad and Josh did look so bad. But the last two weeks, they've just completely demolished teams.
And I know the commander's yet to be determined. The Raiders, not good.
But still, in the NFL, when you demolish teams, that's different than like demolishing teams and i know the commanders yet to be determined the raiders not good but still in the nfl when you demolish teams that's different than like demolishing teams in college football yeah and you can look at the rushing defense that they had like against the raiders i think josh jacobs had one yard yeah i think he had a yard carrying the football and then last week against the commanders they didn't even make an attempt their linebackers were great yeah yeah so i i think that the bills defense is good i. I think they match up well against what the Dolphins want to do in offense.
We'll see if the Dolphins passing offense can succeed. Probably not to the point that it was last week because, Jesus, 70 points is not going to happen again.
What if they just did that? I mean, it'd be sick. Every week.
But again, I feel like points are a finite resource, like how Trump thinks that the human body only has a set amount of energy. So if you exercise, that's less energy that your body will have when you're 60, 70, 80 years old.
I feel like that's the same thing with points. Without a doubt.
They might have scored too many points last week. Too many points.
Jake. Dolphins have scored 130 points so far this season.
Four other teams since 1970 have scored at least 120 in the first three weeks. All of them have reached at least the conference championship game.
2013 Broncos, 2015 Cardinals, 2020 Packers, 2009 Saints. The only one of those to win it all.
Okay, interesting. Next up on the TVs.
We're going to have a TV crunch this week. I will say right now the multi-view.
I know we don't get to decide what's on it.

I'm hoping the bears are on the multi view.

I have no problem putting the beer bears in a small corner of a TV.

I think that's,

that's fair.

We're going to get every game on.

That's my point is we're going to figure out a way to get every single game

on TV.

Ravens at Browns.

Ravens underdogs.

We've talked about it.

John Harbaugh underdogs. He's been incredible.
19 and four in the last 23 games against the spread as an underdog but this Browns defense is so fucking good and probably the most underrated story of the of the first three games I would say is the Browns defense being as good as it is we talked about the yardage the last time it's been done was the 99 bucks. Do you know that the Browns, the Cleveland Browns, through three games, have only allowed their opponent to be in the red zone two times? Yeah, because the Steelers, I don't think the Steelers got in the red zone against them.
Yeah, one field goal, zero touchdowns. Yeah, pretty impressive.
And Myles Garrett, I think if we're doing like American Gladiators, you pick one guy in the NFL, I think Myles Garrett could beat anybody's ass yeah in the league like physically and he's terrifying you saw what he did to the titans last week where he's just toying with them just dancing around the line of scrimmage he's a beast and as good as harbaugh is as an underdog that's exactly how bad stefanski is as a favorite he is uh what's the stat here that i saw he's 10 and 19 against the spread as a favorite and i just the ravens are banged up this is one of those games it feels like the browns stealing money and if you're stefanski you got to just sit down to sean watson and be like hey look our defense is elite just just be smart yeah i mean he was good last week so maybe that's he's turned the corner just be smart let our defense win these games do you think anybody in cleveland still cares about like is there actually a revenge factor here with baltimore stealing their franchise they love to talk about that in all the pregame shows it's like a little bit of revenge for when the browns packed up and left town it is crazy the browns just didn't exist yeah for a while well they did exist well yeah with the ravens yeah but no the the franchise of the browns still belongs to the ravens or excuse me it still belongs to the city of cleveland right they have all the history right but for a while yeah they just didn't have the browns they packed up insane and then baltimore is like we didn't do anything wrong when in fact baltimore lost their own team in the middle of the night yeah that's indianapolis and then they're like well they did to us life fair. Yeah, they started it.
Colts started it. It's not our fault.
Yeah, here's a little hypothetical for you guys. I want your thoughts.
Would you rather have an elite defense or elite offense? Elite offense. Elite offense.
See, maybe this is just my twisted brain because all I root for is bad offenses, but there's something awesome about going in with, if this Browns defense continues on this path, something about having a defense that is completely suffocating, it just feels more manly when you go into a game because you're like, they're not going to do shit. We're going to fuck them up.
Yeah. You know what I mean? Like you can't fuck someone up with offense.
That is absolutely the point of view that you would take if you haven't had a good offense for a while. Correct.
like you you learn to get excited when your team is on defense but there is something about my score there's something about being like you might knock the shit out of shit there's nothing like when you when your defense is truly elite and the and the line of scrimmage like everyone's close to the line of scrimmage like they can't do shit they're not gonna be able to have any time every pass that's thrown could be an interception. I don't know.
That gets me all tingly.

Again, this is because I've never really watched an elite offense.

But still, it gets me tingly.

At the end of the day, you would want an elite offense.

That would be so awesome.

But what wins?

Imagine.

What wins?

So defense wins championships.

Correct.

But actually, it doesn't.

But it does.

Actually, offense wins championships.

But defense does.

But defense wins championships.

But defense does.

But in reality. No, but defense has won.
I mean, the Rams. What was the score of the last Super Bowl? But the Rams' defense was elite.
The Bucs' defense smothered Patrick Mahomes. That was completely a defensive.
The Patriots' last Super Bowl was a defensive effort when they stopped the Rams. Tom Brady.
No, saying they're people. That's offensive player.
How many points did the Patriots score in that Super Bowl?

The defense won that game.

They still, no, but okay, there's a difference between one game

and also the entire season.

I think, though, that once you get to the Super Bowl,

you got to have the defense.

Yeah, once you get to the Super Bowl, you have to have a defense.

Guess who didn't show up to the Super Bowl this past year?

The Eagles defense.

Yeah.

They needed it.

Yeah.

Bums.

Neither did the Chiefs.

No, the Chiefs defense showed up. Well, Jalen Hurts dropped the ball.
they returned it for a touchdown. Turf, turf, turf, turf.
I don't know. The defense does still win championships.
Listen, defense does win championships, but also really offense wins championships. My best argument here is the Bucs versus Mahomes.
That was a defense winning a championship. That was a, they completely fucked them up.
They didn't score a touchdown, right? No. Yeah.
Defense wins championships. I'll go to my grave thinking that.
All right. Next game.
Wait, did you give us your nerd nugget? Yeah. Mark Andrews has seven touchdowns against the Browns, the most by any Ravens player ever versus Cleveland.
Whoa. Interesting.
He's like the Boston Scott of this rivalry. Against the Giants, right? Yeah, against the Giants.

Mark Andrews also had a gash on his arm.

Yeah, I'm looking at how you tweet about it.

He gets gashed.

He's attacked by a tiger.

Yeah, he looks like Jokic out there.

The gash is like three inches wide on his arm.

Then he just sewed that thing up.

Yeah.

All right.

Bucks at Saints.

Or no, sorry.

Commanders and Eagles was the next game I had on there.

Max, PFT.

Sam Howell has been sacked 19 times so far this year. Yeah.
Nine last week. I feel like that might be a bad thing against the Eagles.
Pressured on 79% of his dropbacks, which is, that's just a ridiculous number. And the shitty thing is I'd love to just say, like, it's all the offensive line.
We need to address the line. That seems like just a nice magic wand that you can wave.
But Sam Howell is definitely getting himself into some of those situations. He hangs onto the ball for a while.
I'm very afraid. Congrats, Max.
I'm just going to give it to you. 25, 25 point win for the Eagles this week.
The defensive line is going to eat. You're going to, man, you're going to rewind and watch so many Jalen Carter clips.
It's going to be sick for you. I'm going to be disgusted with it.
I blame 40% on the offensive line, 40% on Sam Howell, and then 20% on Tony P in D.C. Tony P in D.C.
Who showed up for the game last week, and he's not even a Commanders fan. He showed up.
Don't blame him. He's our king.
He's our king. He showed up.
Don't blame him. This motherfucker showed up wearing a commander's jersey.
You're a Patriots fan. He's a king.
He's a king. You literally went into the day last Sunday saying, we're not going to lose on Tony P Day.
Yeah. Well, I thought that.
You can't change your mind like that. I love Tony P, but now I hate him because he's a curse.
No, you're not allowed to say you love Tony P. He's a curse.
You can't say. Facts are facts.
No, you can't. I actually disagree, Max.
He's O and one. You're not allowed to say you hate Tony P.
Okay. I don't hate Tony P.
Thank you. It's impossible to hate Tony P.
Tony P is the best. He's the one pure thing left on the internet without a trace of irony to it.
I love him. You can't help but watch his videos and be like, this guy's so wholesome.
And he's getting ad deals. But I just don't want him to be a Commander's fan.
Is that fair? He's a Patriot fan. The Commander shouldn't have had him be a social ad deal.
I agree. Maybe there's some blame to go around there.
Yeah. Maybe you take a wider view if you're the commander's social team and you find a guy that's really been a fan of your team for their entire life that has a big internet presence and maybe you lean into doing a partnership with that person instead of hypothetically Tony PFT is what I'm talking about.
Yes, in DC. In DC.
Yeah. But yeah, okay.
No disrespect to Tony. I don't like that now you're trying to steal his business.
You're trying to steal him. You're seal it.
You're trying to take food out of his mouth. I am.
Come on. I'm trying to take a nice salmon risotto off his dinner table.
I saw that. It looked like a great meal.
It did. It looked like a great meal.
Positive masculinity. He's the antidote to Andrew Tate.
Yeah. He is.
He is two superheroes clashing. So yeah, I think I'm nervous for you, P, PFT.
I feel like this is going to be – it's not the game you want Sam Howell after his worst game as a pro to go into against the Eagles defensive line that just eats. No, I am not looking forward to that at all.
I think that everything favors Max in this matchup. So that's what I'm saying.
Probably a 25-point victory for you, Max. And they lost last year to they lost last year the commanders so they're like hey we can't overlook this team yep if it was in dc i i mean we're not losing this game at home no that's basically what i i want to do the whole like oh anything can happen like stop saying we're gonna win by 25 but but we probably will yeah you're gonna win by 25 our good friend steven che uh is firmly on the hot seat for this game because he wished injury on Jalen Hurts.
Jalen Hurts did a press conference this week and mentioned Steven Shea, not by name, but said a guy even wanted me to get injured. If Jalen Hurts gets injured this week, Steven Shea, he's done.
He's done. He's like, I told him, I tried to lay it out for him.
I was like, you're going to have to watch this game more intently than the Bucs Saints because Jalen Hurts better be healthy at the end of this game. And Max, if Jalen Hurts gets severely hurt in this game, you have to be the one to kill Stephen Shea.
Yeah, you do. Because you'll do it humanely, relatively speaking, compared to what the rest of the players do.
You have to slap him in the face. Yeah, do I have permission? Yes.
No, not permission. It's a mandatory slap.
Okay. okay so maybe a shove okay i just want to make sure that like violence is okay in the workplace i think a shove is okay i think you're allowed to shove him very hard because it should be a tush push like a violent tush push yeah you got to push him in his buttocks okay and it will be doing a favor to him yeah and also what the rest of he also tried to do he tried to backtrack and just put out good film breakdowns of Jalen Hurts today.
I mean, he's terrified. When I saw the film breakdown, I was like, he is terrified of Eagles to win.
Because he actually stands. I don't want to put words in his mouth.
Oh, no. He's not apologizing.
He's not apologizing. He said to me that he doesn't want Jalen Hurts hurt.
He wants the play removed. And he thinks that

all the buzz that he started is probably going to get the play removed. So he's going to

be a hero. It's loser talk.
He literally said that. He's like, I think that I started the

conversation that will then get the play removed. My dream is that they remove this play.

The Eagles still do it and still get it every time. They will.
We said this on Wednesday.

It'll just break every single person's. what are you supposed to do in that situation? Maybe one time a game the tight end grabs him and pushes him forward.
The rest of the time it's just the offensive line being bigger and stronger and better. And Jalen Hurts being a beast.
Being a monster. J.J.
Watt agreed with my take on Wednesday that even if they took away the tush push, the Eagles would still sneak it and they would sneak it to an insane

success rate.

It would.

So more teams should do it.

Okay.

Nerd nugget.

The Eagles lead the leading Russian lead the league and rushing defense,

allowing 48 yards per game to their fewest rushing yards surrendered through

three games since 2008.

Yeah.

Not good.

This doesn't stack up well for us,

but,

but I said before the bills game, if we win one of the next two Super Bowl, I'm thinking Soupy. So even though we're definitely not a Soupy team, we're the best worst team, I think.
If we win this, I'm back getting fully delusional PFT because then we got the Bears coming up next. Yeah, easy win.
And so then we'll be four and one. Four and one's good.
And then Soupy. Now, if we lose, then I could also see us losing to the Bears.
No. I don't think so.
All right. Bucs at Saints.
Jameis Winston revenge game. Let's fucking go.
Jameis Winston holds all the records for the Bucs. He holds the yards record, the touchdowns record, the completions record for the Bucs.
That's pretty impressive. He's the greatest quarterback in Bucs history.
And guess what? Even better, he doesn't hold the interception record. That's very impressive.
Vinny Testaverde. Awesome.
I looked it up. Vinny Testaverde, I wish we were doing the show in 1988 because Vinny Testaverde had a season, 1988, he threw 13 touchdowns and 35 interceptions.
How did make it through that season and it was a 15 games that he played and he didn't throw a pick in two of those games so he threw 35 interceptions in 13 games that is the funniest season ever that's awesome that's so awesome he had he had a game of five interceptions a game of six interceptions and they yeah the fact that they kept him in for the entire season when he's going 12 to 30 is actually that's impressive. Yeah.
Very impressive on his part. Vinny Tesversi had 112 interceptions in 76 games with the Bucs.
Jameis only had 88 in 72 games. That's nothing.
That's nothing. Nothing.
But the beauty with Jameis is as bad as he can be and make terrible decisions and throw the ball to like four linebackers who are all standing there licking their chops, like wearing a bib. Jameis will throw the ball directly to him.
He'll also throw that fucking deep ball and it'll be pretty and you'll forget about every other bad thing that he ever did. Yes.
I think that the Bucs should have a welcome home video for Jameis Winston. I agree.
I think that they need to do a video tribute to him. It's in New Orleans though.
I still think that they should. I agree.
They should watch party at raymond james and then put a giant big screen tv on the pirate ship yes and then have just james winston highlights thank you james thanks for everything also in this game the return of alvin kamara oh yeah he's back he's back he also said he had a very funny video that he put out of him getting out of jail yeah he also said uh in his return he's gonna do whatever he's got to do okay that's ominous yeah i feel like that's the one guy you don't want to do whatever he's got to do he'll beat the shit out of a guy in an elevator yeah just alvin just run the ball that's fine catch the ball as well but don't you don't have to do whatever you got to do what's up with running backs and elevators just a bad combination they just get they i think it's just confined space they want to hit the hole yeah they want to get out of here yeah yeah so um i i'm all in on the saints this weekend i feel like james is going to have some fun i would also like to see james winston podcast athletes having podcasts is a big thing right now i would love a james winston podcast james come on this podcast uh alvin kamara has also also been it's been reported that he looks explosive

in return to practice. Okay, he's fresh

legs. He will.
I mean, like the Saints

offense has not looked good

through three weeks. It's looked slow

and now you have

one of the best running backs in the league back. So, nice

bonus. And remember Michael Thomas?

Yeah. He's around.
Michael Thomas. Slant boy.

Shahid Rashid.

Is that my guy? Rashid Shahid.

He's fast. Yeah, he's the best.

Nerd Nugget. Will the third time be

the Yeah, he's around. Michael Thomas.
Slant boy. Shahid Rashid.
Is that my guy? Rashid Shahid. He's fast.
Yeah, he's the best. Nerd Nugget.
Will the third time be the charm for Jameis Winston against the Bucs, the team that drafted him in 2021? He was knocked out of the game by Devin White, illegal horse collar tackle that led to the viral dancing on crutches game in the locker room. And then 2022 against them, three interceptions, sacked six times.
So he hasn't done well against this is also the game where michael thomas or yeah mike evans mike evans is going to get ejected he loves getting into fights against the same yeah he absolutely loves now cd deuce is gone but i still think he's going to see that that uniform be like i got to fight yes yes uh okay next game bangles the titans Titans. Is Joe Burrow all the way back? Do the Titans actually stink this time? Because I have a couple thoughts in my head.
One is I keep thinking to myself, it's Vrabel. It's the Titans.
They always will look like dog shit at points of the year, but they'll keep fighting and they'll be there at the end of the season looking for a playoff spot what if this titans team actually just is dog shit though and i can't catch myself keep trying to ride that wave and because they are admittedly i think even like their front office they're they're in a transition period it's clear what they're doing they're trying to get younger they're going to phase some guys out maybe they just suck this year they might and hopkins might be starting to think that and that that would be the return of a diva lead receiver yeah if they continue to phase some guys out. Maybe they just suck this year.
They might. And Hopkins might be starting to think that.

And that would be the return of a Diva wide receiver.

Yeah.

If they continue to stink this year, Hopkins is going to be pissed off.

He's like, I got sent here for this.

Yeah.

He's going to be pissed off.

Although he sent himself there.

Yeah.

But still.

Yeah.

But still he's going to be mad.

He's going to be mad. He's going to be very.

Well, he's like demanded to be out of Arizona.

Yeah.

But then he chose.

Yeah.

Then he chose.

He chose Titans.

Yeah.

He's like, let me make it harder for myself. When are we going to start thinking about our boy, Will Levis? Ooh, single.
Single. Single, ready to mingle.
Dude's ready to show out right now. The problem is not entirely Ryan Tannehill, but he's a part of it.
He's definitely a part of it. He's a big part of it.
But there's other stuff going on there, and their offense just looks bad across the board. They can't run the football.
Nope. And so we'll see.
Maybe just feed Derek Henry this weekend. But the Bengals' rush defense is pretty good.
It's good, yeah. I also like the Joe Burrows part of his maturation process as a franchise quarterback.
I don't know if you guys have caught this. He's been using the Royal We a lot.
Oh, I like that, yeah. I like that.
So even after the game on Monday Night Football, they asked about his calf, and he said, you know, we just got through it. We just got to just get back in rehab.
That's him and his team. That's him and Harambe.
Yeah, and they asked him about the calf during his press conference during the middle of the week, and he said, we're ready to go. So talking about himself.
But I think that's the next step in every quarterback. You have to go from the I to the we.
Just talking about yourself, though. Yeah, it's smart.
It's a good move, so you're not just using the singular pronouns. And I think Joe wants to play.
His owner probably doesn't want him to play because this dude is allergic to spending money. Correct.
He's like, wait, so not only did I give you a big contract, but I also built like a practice bubble and we changed our playing surface that we practice on because I invested so much money in you. And now you're going to play with the same injury that Aaron Rodgers had before he got hurt.
Knock on wood. Let's not put that out there.
Let's not wood. Knock on wood.
I'm just saying that from the owner's perspective. Right.
This is the rare instance where the owner is like, please don't play starting quarterback. Yeah, that's not what I'm just saying that from the owner's perspective.
Right. He's probably this is the rare instance where the owner is like, don't please don't play.
I'm poor. Yeah, he's he's Kristen Wiig in Bridesmaids.
Yeah. Also, I'm like, I'm poor, Joe.
Did you know that Joe's doing the Gronk thing where he's not spending any of his money? I love it. So he's just riding off his marketing money.
So he's going to have like 250 million in his bank account for retirement. I mean, which is probably to be the best retirement ever and he's probably got a sick house in ohio because it doesn't probably doesn't cost that much cincinnati yeah he's he's living his life uh nerd nugget the titans defense allowed 78 rushing yards against the browns to mark the team's ninth consecutive game in which it did not allow an opposing offense to reach 100 rushing yards the longest active streak in the nfl.
And Jake, how many of those games have they won? Probably not many. I don't think they've won a single one of them.
But it sounds like a good stat. Yeah.
These teams PR, they're great at it. I think Joe Burrow's going to have a big game.
I think he's going to start pushing the ball down the field. I hope so.
I hope he's good. I think we're ready to push the ball down the field.
Okay. And we're ready to get back.
All right. Next up, Vikings at Panthers.
Bryce Young is back. Andy Dalton back to the sideline.
Adam Thielen revenge game. Big time.
I tried to look up and see if there's any bad blood. And the only thing I could see, it was Adam Thielen saying, I didn't want to leave Minnesota, but they had a different vision for me.
And then he went to say there's no bad blood i'm so thankful to the organization uh they handled this throughout the process was first class so zero bad blood he said that the only thing he's going to be doing differently on sunday is he's going to get onto the field earlier so he can go and say hi to everybody that he misses so seems like a great dude but so diva sounds like i think he's being sarcastic with all this. I think Adam Thielen is really pissed off at the Vikings.
I'm going to bet him score a touchdown. Yeah, just take the first part of the quote.
I didn't want to leave Minnesota, but they had a different vision for me. There you go.
That's it. Bad blood.
Adam Thielen, Diva wide receiver. Bad blood.
Pissed as hell at the Vikings. Do you guys know who's leading the league in passing this year? Kirk Cousins.
Do you know who's leading the league in receiving? Justin Jefferson. Correct.
Kirk Cousins and Justin Jefferson. Now, it's obviously a 17-game season, and they have had explosive offense through the first three weeks, 0-3.
But Kirk Cousins is on pace for 6,000 yards, which would far eclipse Peyton Manning's record of 5,477 in 2013.

Justin Jefferson is on pace for, what is it? It's like 2,600 yards, which would far eclipse Megatron 1964 in 2012.

In their own three.

In their own three.

But that would be cool if both of them broke the record.

Yeah, I mean, that would be the ultimate Kirk Cousins season, wouldn't it?

To break the record.

Yeah, to break the record and go like 5-12.

Yeah.

Also, when I was looking up passing single season passing records, do you know who's 10th all time? I do not know who 10th is. Jameis Winston.
Okay, cool. With 5,000 yards.
5,100 yards in 2019. Also the year he threw 30-30.
Which was the best season ever for a quarterback in history in history the top 10 is just drew breeze like six times and then peyton one tom brady and jamis have you noticed this about kirk cousins this year he i feel like he's getting more gun shy like he'll do a lot of throwaways even if he has a wide receiver open he'll pass the ball a little bit early and then he'll like duck away from the rush as it's about to sack him yeah because he's gotten hit a lot and i think he's just starting to feel you get older you feel pain a little bit more yeah like late stage eli exactly yeah he self-sack maybe not the self-sacks just yet but he's in a he's at a point where he's self-incompleting yeah so he'll like throw it out get it to the sidelines and then turtle away and do a little like shrug away from the defender as he's about to get hit. Also credit to us, not to toot our own horn, but I think we've been very fair with Kirk Cousins this year.
It's not his fault. Like the defense has been very, very bad, and the regression monster hit them worse than we even imagined because they went 11-1 last year, 0-3 this year in one-score games.
Yeah. I mean, the Eagles game, I guess you could say that's a one-score game, but it was like a backdoor one-score game.
Yeah. I actually think, too, the Panthers could win this game with Andy Dalton.
I don't think Bryce Young's ready right now. Andy Dalton looked really good.
He did. And then Frank Reich said that Bryce Young, this was like a two, three-week injury, and Bryce took one week off, and now he's back.
Did you know what his nickname is, by the way? No. Bryce Young.
His nickname is the Gingerbread Man. Ooh.
Which is also Andy Dalton's son's nickname in my book. Ooh.
Yeah. Yeah.
But yeah, you can't catch me. I think that's what it goes back to.
Oh. The nursery rhyme.
Okay. He's got to get a better nickname.
He's got to get a better nickname. Speaking of Frank Reich, Frank Reich is 3-10 in his last 13 games.
Quietly terrible. Quietly very terrible.
He should play a game over in London because he looks like one of those Buckingham Palace guards. Yes.
Never changes facial expression. Never moves.
Yeah. Good coach, I guess.
3 and 10 in the last 13. I think he comes from the Ron Rivera, Jeff Fisher book of being a stable head coach.
Yes. If you have a tumultuous franchise around you, then you look at that guy and you're like,

well, at least this guy's not emotional.

He's an adult in the room.

Yeah.

He's a great adult in the room.

Yeah.

You're like, hey, what do we do here?

Well, I've actually been in football for my entire life, so I have an answer for you.

He's a football lifer.

Yes. He's seen it all.

Yes.

All right.

Before we do the late slate games, quick word from our sponsor, proper number 12, rich and smooth, proper number 12 Irish whiskey, new smooth to the core, proper number 12 Irish apple, which I've tasted on the college football show, new crisp and fresh, proper number 12 Irish apple. The ad read doesn't have an H in here.
They kind of set me up on that. It's F-R-E-S-S.
It's Fress. Fress.
So I sounded like I had a list there. Founded by Conor McGregor.
For every bottle sold, a donation is made to support our brave first responder. Shoot your shot of proper number 12 Irish whiskey.
I have been drinking it since last fall. It is so delicious.
Goes down smooth. Perfect for tailgates.
Order your bottle of proper number 12 Irish whiskey from Drizzly. Pour the roar and try the new proper number 12 Irish apple.
It is absolutely to die for. So proper number 12.
Go check it out. Pour the roar.
Order your bottle of proper number 12 Irish whiskey from Drizzly. Now.
I like fresh. It's like a cool person.
It's a cool way to say fresh. It's fresher than fresh.
Hank, those shoes are fresh. Those are fresh.
Those are mad fresh. Raiders of Chargers.
Raiders of Chargers. I don't really know if we want to talk about Chandler Jones.
It seems really weird. Yeah, I'm thinking he's not in a good place mentally.
Yeah, although when he said, like, I'm getting off social media for a while. No one hit me up.
I'm going to be with some strippers and they got me. That was a boss move.
It is. That was a boss move.
That's what Paul Pierce said. Did you guys though? So let's not talk about Chandler Jones.
I feel, I hope he gets help better. It does feel like it's spiraling in a bad place right now.
And then everyone tweets about it. It's like, this kind of, this is not great.
So I hope he's gets whatever he looking for, help. RG3 reached out to him, though.
He tweeted that out. I've reached out to Stanley Jones.
He tweeted out to let us know that he reached out? Yeah. Oh, beautiful.
But he's on the case. Okay, great, great, great, great.
Did you guys hear the story about Marquette King? Yes. It's the funniest story ever.
That was my note on this game was just the saga of Marquette King.

Yeah.

So here's the story.

Marquette King, I don't know if he went on a podcast or something.

He's a recurring guest.

He said that he was probably released by the Raiders because owner Mark Davis once saw him with two females and said, I see you.

Marquette came over and gave him a soft noogie to show he was not as mean as the bullies Davis dealt with throughout his life who did hard noogies. And that's why he got released.
Because he noogied his owner. Soft.
Soft noogie. My perception of the thing the entire time was that John Gruden probably hates punters.
Yes. He hates kickers.
Yes. And then you've got a kicker that's doing celebrations and dancing and looking like he's having a lot of fun.
And then Gruden was like, I can't deal with this guy. This guy's not a real football player.
He's acting like one. I disagree.
It seems like it was the noogie. It was the noogie.
Mark, if there's one guy you don't want a noogie, it's a guy who looks like he's got like a carrot sprout growing on top of his head. Because if I were looking at Davis, I would think that if I gave him a noogie, it would just compromise the entire structural integrity of his head.
Like it would just scramble his brain up. It looks like he's got a nice soft head.
By the way, I fucked up. I jumped around the Raiders and Chargers.
I don't know why I had it earlier, but it's obviously a late game. But yes, Marquette King, noogie monster.
I also just love the idea of Mark Davis being like, I see you. Yeah.
I see you, dude. The first time I same time when i read this i thought i i had it reversed i thought that marquette king was hanging out and saw mark davis with two women at the same time and came over and gave him noogie like great job keep it up but think about it it is if you walked by me with two women i was like oh i see you pft then you gave me a little soft noogie like what the fuck dude you already have two women why are you doing yeah you're running up the score yeah what the Fuck you doing.
You're doing like a little pal little boy thing. Yeah, you'll you, PFT.
Then he gave me a little soft nugget. I'm like, what the fuck, dude? You already have two women.
Why are you doing this? Yeah, you're running up the score. Yeah, what the fuck? You're doing like a little pal, little boy thing.
Yeah, you'll get there one day. Yeah.
I think the Chargers without Mike Williams are going to be in trouble. He's pretty good.
He's good. They've got Keenan Allen who catches a million balls.
Is Eckler coming back? Is he back this week? I think he might be back. I'm not sure.
But I feel like Mike Williams is pretty important pretty important and that's gonna hurt justin herbert has been phenomenal though and they should win this game eckler's out again and we might see hoyer the destroyer here yeah nfl rumors oh okay i don't know if that's legit or not you know what i'm gonna jake reported that eckler's out i'm gonna put a must win on this for the chargers yeah this is a must you got this is a take care of business game yeah you got to do it gotta do it uh rams occult uh we sent our tickets to someone who had an andrew luck oh you have a nerd nugget for chargers raiders yeah 10 of the past 14 road games for the chargers against the raiders have been decided by one score three of them in overtime oh okay so fun game yeah uh rams occult we sent our tickets to a guy who had an andrew luck uh for him. Yeah, there were no fake Super Bowl ones.
That's actually good. I'm surprised by that.
But maybe that's more like a Philadelphia thing. Well, I think that if you have a fake Super Bowl one, you probably limit your time spent online moving forward after that.
Yeah. Because you probably got a lot of flack for it.
You don't think that's a Philadelphia thing, Max? It's whatever. I think it's a Philadelphia and Toronto Maple Leafs thing.
And Buffalo. Buffalo does it as well.
Buffalo definitely does it. Yes.
Yes. But yeah, Rams and Colts.
In Buffalo, that's basically like a war medal that you carry around. It's like, I've been through this many battles.
This is how many times I thought that my team was going to win the Super Bowl. Yes.
Yes. We have Anthony Richardson back.
Back. Yeah, for at least part of the game.
I'm worried about Anthony Richardson. Yes.
Yes. We have Anthony Richardson back back for yeah, for at least part of the game.
I'm I'm worried about Anthony Richardson. Yeah, I know he's he's played two games and been injured in both games.
He looks awesome when he's out there. Yeah.
Also, Sean McVay is just he knows the spread. That's all you got to know about Sean.
Yes. It's actually a nice thing to know now.
He knows the spread. He knows the spread.
Every time. He knows the spread.

Nerd nugget for this game.

This is the first of five games for the Rams this season with a 1 p.m. Eastern kickoff tied for their most on their schedule

since they moved from St. Louis.

Five games at the early slate.

Okay.

For an L.A. team.

It's a lot.

I like that.

That's a good nerd nugget.

Thanks.

Did they stay out Midwest?

Well, this is their first one. No, but I know they played at the Bengals.
Oh, because it was a Monday. Did the Rams stay out Midwest? Oh, I'm not sure.
Did they go to the Greenbrier? I'll see. I'll see.
Find out if they went to the Greenbrier. I'm going to start fading the Greenbrier.
Yeah. We got to know where they went.
All right. Steelers at Texans next up.
Proud Boys stand up. Stroud Boys stand up.
Stroud Boys stand up. That was a mistake.
That was my meeting after this. Stand back.
Stand by. Stroud Boys.
Name your favorite cereals while I beat the fuck out of you. Stroud Boys are feeling pretty good right now.
Yeah. CJ Stroud, rookie of the month, on pace to be rookie of the year in the NFL.
I would say so. He hasn't thrown an interception.

Throwing with great anticipation.

I watched a clip of him throwing a guy open with his eyes.

That's what you want to see early on in a career.

Yeah, I'm buying.

I'm buying everything.

Good.

Yeah, the offensive line stinks.

Tunsil's been out.

I don't know if Tunsil's playing this weekend.

As of recording time, we're unsure. That would be good for CJ if he was playing because the Steelers' defense is awesome.
Yes. And so I feel like this is going to be a lot of pressure on him.
Steelers' interception this week. CJ might throw his first INT.
I hope not. Well, it feels like, you know, he's been really, really solid.
He's made a lot of good throws. I think if you're power ranking the rookie quarterbacks right now,

you got CJ number one.

I would say Anthony Richardson. Healthy Anthony Richardson.

Healthy Anthony Richardson number two.

And he is awesome to watch.

Hank was right about Anthony Richardson.

Yeah, oh yeah.

I think we all need to take a step back because we had a good laugh

at Florida's expense last year.

They lost a lot of games.

Didn't look good.

Anthony Richardson, Hank saw something in him. Hank was the first person to say.
you're a scout. This guy can play quarterback.
Yeah, you're a scout. And then, yeah, probably Bryce number three.
Yeah, Bryce number three. And then who else went? Will Levis still single.
Will Levis number one. Yeah, he's single.
Yeah, also hasn't thrown a pick. The only thing I'm worried about in this game is just Mike Tomlin is a favorite road favorite.
Yeah, always a scary proposition. And I feel like this is a really good benchmark game because if the Steelers win this game, they're three and one.
They obviously had that terrible game week one, but they righted the ship. And if the Texans win this game, I feel like it just completely changes their expectations this year where it's like, hey, the AFC South's winnable.
They got to get Andrew Beck some touches. Yeah, this was going to be a tanking year, and now it could be a year where they could be flirting with the playoffs.
That division's wide open. Division's wide open.
Yeah, the Steelers have the Ravens next, so maybe a look-ahead spot. Those two teams don't like each other, PFT.
They don't. Throughout the record books't throughout the record books.
No love lost. This game is the Steelers as a road favorite after Mike Tomlin winning a game as a road dog.
Feels like bet against the Steelers. Yes.
Yes. I would agree.
Okay. Nugget.
As the Steelers prepare to face CJ Stroud this weekend, keep in mind that Pittsburgh is 48-13 in the regular season when facing a rookie starting quarterback since 1970. So throw out everything we just said.
Yeah. Has Matt Canada been promoted to head coach after his great performance last week? He's the owner of the Steelers now.
Yeah, he's just going to keep getting promoted. Yeah, failing upwards.
All right, next up, worst game. Broncos and Bears, 0-4, 0-3, 0-3.
Both teams should be 0 and 4 uh it's crazy that the Bears are so bad that they opened as a two and a half point underdog to a team that lost by 50 at home and now they're a three and a half point underdog uh I I mean we've talked about it ad nauseam the Bears season is is completely over. It's collapsed.
Justin Fields feels broken as a person, which I understand because that would break you. There was some backup.
Badgeant is getting some first team reps. Who the fuck knows what's going to go on? Like it could quickly turn into save your job mode at Hallis Hall.
So I have a couple of insult stats. They'll just get out.
Yeah yeah i mean they we just grow them on a tree we have like that remember the ticket tree yeah it's an insult stat tree do you know how many sacks the bears have this year sacks on the quarterback as a team on the quarterback i'm gonna not not give enough i'm talking about defense bears defense how many sacks do you have it's either one or zero you. You have a sack.
Okay, it's one. You've got a sack.

Was it week one?

I'm not exactly sure.

It might have been actually against the backup.

Who's the backup for the Chiefs?

Gabbert?

Yeah.

Yeah, it might have been against him.

You guys dominated the fourth quarter.

Two picks.

So there are 59 players in the league that have as many sacks as the Bears do as a team.

Another insult stat here.

Maybe not an insult stat, but a shocking thing that I saw in Pro Football Focus. They grade out every offensive player.
Do you know who your best offensive player is on the Bears? Per PFF. Claypool.
No. Maybe Darnell Wright, but it's definitely going to be an offensive lineman.
It's Justin Fields. Oh, okay.
Justin Fields is the best player on the Chicago Bears offense.

That's a good sign.

That's a great sign.

Shut up, Hank.

I don't like that.

No, it is.

You want your quarterback to be the best player?

Don't do that.

The leader of the team.

Yeah.

My concern with Justin Fields, we talked about it a little bit before we started taping,

but I've never seen him really have fun when he plays.

Why would he?

Even when they're winning.

Well, he hasn't won. There's one time.
There is one time. There's one time I remember seeing him happy.
That was against the 49ers in that shitty game. You remember it was like muddy.
Yeah, it was week one last year. He dove across the field and just like laid out in the rain with the entire team.
That's the only time I've seen him really happy on a football field. I want to see him happy.
They haven't won. This game is going to be played in october and the last time they won was last october uh the bears haven't scored more than 20 points in nine straight games and like i said october 24th 2022 is their last win i think we're going to probably get to a calendar year i don't see the bears winning this game they're they have the worst combination in football.

Their defense is soft and their offense looks slow.

You can't.

That's the worst two adjectives you can put on either side of the ball.

Jay, can you look up and see what the longest losing streak is in the history of professional football?

I think it's the Lions.

I want to say like the 2008-2009 Lions.

Buccaneers, 26 straight from 76 to 77. Wow.
All right. So you're not going to reach that.
Yeah, we could. I doubt it.
I don't think so. I think you guys might win this weekend.
Yeah. Well, the problem is it is like kind of a last stand for Sean Payton and Russell Wilson.
Like if they start Owen for, and they lose to this Bears team, I think Russell Wilson might get benched.

I don't know.

And it wasn't his fault last week.

Their defense sucks.

But this feels like the Broncos, if they want any,

the Bears season is over.

The Broncos have one last chance to save their season.

It's to win this game.

I think whichever coach loses should have to pull a Bud Dwyer in the press conference.

Go out there with a paper bag.

Everybody stand back.

Iberflue should be fired if they lose no matter what. But they don't fire coaches like that because they're cheap.
And also, I don't want them to fire him because I want Caleb Williams. I have said the names, Caleb Williams and Jim Harbaugh, probably 100 times in the last four days and just man football.
I want to bring back man football, Caleb Williams, Jim Harbaugh. let Jim Harbaugh just stuff all the dorks in house hall into a locker and just go back to being a man football team.
Did we ever find out what happened with your D coordinator? No, but because from what I've read, the reports went out of their way to say no criminal activity, but HR was involved. Yes.
And they did a digital forensic search as part of his resignation which they say that they do on everybody that gets fired or little mike babcock yeah they went through it yeah they went through all his all his electronics and shit that to me seems like it's not something that they would do on anybody that moves on from the team right well uh mark potash who writes for the chicago sometimes very good journalist uh did a great job because he finally asked matt eberflus because they were all uh we don't want to talk about we want to talk about he simply was like hey it's kind of weird no one's wished him well yeah and it's like oh yeah that's a good point because if you believe alan williams is health and family reasons you would think his co-workers would be like hope he gets better hope whatever's happening gets better if one of you had to leave this podcast for health and family reasons i would be like i'm rooting for them i can't wait for them to be back all the good things if you had to leave for something nefarious i'd be like not talking about can we just do some unbased speculation yeah i just throw something out there you think he was giving plays to the opponents No because I i think we do that luke gets he does that by just like running the first three plays like we'll see this again a million times over gambling i think that would probably be reported on yeah i think say what you want about the bears they're doing a good job of keeping this secret well i think the nfl as well the nfl is doing a good job of being like we're this. Yeah.
Might have been gambling. Might be something bad.
Might have been gambling. But either way, yeah, the Bears are bad.
The Broncos are bad, but a little bit better than the Bears bad. Because like Russell Wilson has moved the ball.
They've had moments where they've looked like a competent offense. Their defense is atrocious, but so is the Bears.
So yeah, this game, let's just hope that this game ends up being a shootout because that would be fun because there is, in a weird alternate world, how much shit I've been giving the Bears and also the world being like this game shouldn't even be televised. The defenses on both sides are so bad that we could have a fun like Big 12 shootout, which would be awesome.
We have like a 45-42 game. You can make bad football look real good as long as both defenses suck equally problem is if the offenses also suck the offensive lines suck then the defenses start to look better it's gonna be a bad game the bears are bad uh jake the bears broncos game will be the first game in nfl history between two teams who combine to allow at 110 points and 1,100 yards the previous week.
See, I think it's going to be a good game. Yeah, I think it's actually going to be fun.
From the Vikings-Panthers also applies to this game. Only six of 251 teams have made the playoffs after losing their first three games.
Only the 92 Chargers have made the playoffs after starting 0-4. Playoffs? So you're saying the Bears' season, if they start 0-4, they're not going to make the play well the 92 chargers that's true yeah okay yeah um yeah it's it's whatever it's i am i'm it's almost freeing i was i was talking to a friend last night it's essentially like going a turtle like going retreating to its shell as soon as you admit that the Bears are a disaster, Justin Fields isn't the guy,

the whole organization is a joke,

the less you can get hurt. I can't

get hurt anymore because I'm admitting it.

So the hope is gone,

the faith is gone, all these things.

I just went back into my shell. It's like, go ahead,

do whatever you want. I'm a turtle

in my shell. I'm just going to live my life and you

can't bother me. I think it's going to be a fun game

though. I really do.
I hope so. It is pretty cool.
The four 0 three teams are playing against each other. So that is cool.
That's so cool. All right.
Patriots table Patriots and Cowboys. So I screwed up.
I did Raiders and Chargers already. So we have two late late games in Raiders and Chargers.
So three again. They did nine and three fuck the NFL for this is next week.
What's next week count next week for me. I would imagine it would be four or more in the afternoon slate because you don't have the doubleheader on Monday night.
You have a morning again. Yeah, the Jags are playing again.
Patriots and Cowboys the Henry Lockwood Bowl. Yeah, I'm excited.
Split jersey? I'm trying. What do you think about the video of Mac Jones that has emerged of him clearly hitting Sauce Gardner on his penis? Yeah, he's a penis toucher.
He's done it three times, Hank. It was a tap.
It was not a touch. It was a light tap.
Wait, what's a tap? Is a tap a touch? Like he grabbed his like the he doesn't want me to have kids was hit him in the ball. Yeah, you hit him in the balls.
Is a tap a touch? Did I just touch you? Yeah. Okay, I tapped you.
So he touched his penis. Yeah, but guys get their penis touch all the time it's it's oh yeah maybe on the scrum oh damn maybe on the browns in this in a scrum like that that's that's just ball it's just ball do you think that there's something to be said for the amount of times this has happened no i don't think matt jones that was a quick no i don't that was like a i don't want to say my real answer i don't think he's good enough.
I don't think he's good enough to be doing this shit. Like if you were on his team, you'd be like, dude, stop doing that because one, you suck.
And two, you're going to get my balls hit. He's not that bad.
Let's find a middle ground. Would you admit that Matt Jones is at least a little bit sus? I think Matt Jones has an edge to him.
He's a competitor. Is it a sussy edge?

He's got some fire.

No,

it's not a sauce.

No,

a pause.

Matt Jones pause.

No,

if he like,

if he grabbed his nutsack and like squeezed him,

that's pause.

What do you think about Chris Paul?

Competitor Olympic champion.

He's on the warriors. Yeah, it's crazy.
That's going to blow my mind. I read an article the other day, and it was like, Dream on Chris Paul training.
I was like, what the fuck? They might trade him to the Blazers. Yeah.
All right, so how do you think this game is going to go? I'm worried about Micah Parsons. Micah.
I'm worried about Micah Parsons. Yeah, it feels like the Cowboys are pissed off.
Cowboys are pissed off coming off a loss. But.
Yeah. I think we can win.
Okay. At least cover.
Definitely cover. Oh, okay.
That was a quick. I think we can win to at least cover.
Why do you think you can win? They haven't been playing bad football. They've been, you know, the Eagles and the Dolphins are better than the Cowboys.
They pretty much beat both those teams, so. I do think the Patriots defense is very good, and we'll keep them in this game, But I just don't know if the – And Zeke revenge game.

Zeke revenge game.

Remember, two touchdowns.

It's a double revenge game.

They've got Zeke and then Will Greer, right?

Yeah.

The Patriots signed Will Greer, what, last week?

Yeah, to get all the singles.

To get all the plays.

Yeah, they've got all the plays from the Cowboys.

Smart.

Yeah.

Cowboys need to win, like, for everything that everyone was talking about,

the Cowboys and their aspirations.

They have to win this game, and kind of convincingly.

Tell me your real.

It's not a dynamic offense the Patriots are running.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Tell me your real, Cowboys.

Yeah.

Show us your real.

Okay.

So next week, we have the morning game, which is Jags-Bills.

Great start.

And then it's a 6-4 split with a Cowboys-Niner Sunday night game.

Love that.

Good.

Good.

Great job, NFL. Four teams have to buy tomorrow.
This is a buy buy. Good thing we'll be in New York City for surviving Barstool.
Oh, it's buy weeks already? Yeah, buy weeks next week. Wow, that happened fast.
When do you want to have your buys? Like middle, like week nine? Yeah, you don't want to. It's like too early sucks.
I think it goes up to like 13 or 14 this year. Burn your buy week if you have it week five.
I think you need to I actually. Commanders have it week 14 with the Cardinals.
Best bye week is. Getting rested up for the playoffs.
I like that. Best bye week is Halloween.
You think so? Yeah. You get to spend Halloween with your family.
Get to eat a lot of candy. It's your bye week.
Yeah. That's good.
Yeah. It's right around the middle.
Because I don't think you want to have it late. Thanksgiving wouldn't be bad.
Thanksgiving is nice. Yeah.'s bi-weeks thanksgiving uh i thought they were over by then james said week 14 oh yeah there's no bi-weeks thanksgiving week but there are bi-weeks after okay yeah uh okay yeah i think i think i'd rather i'd pick halloween yeah halloween's not bad maybe the weekend before thanksgiving get a head start on travel.
Yeah. So with the victory this week against Dallas,

Bill Belichick will join Don Shula and George Hallis as the only NFL coaches with 300 career regular season wins.

318 for Hallis, 328 for Shula.

Ooh, he's coming up on it.

299 for Belichick.

Wow.

Okay.

Regular season.

All right.

Last late slate game.

Cardinals at 49ers. Cardinals are 3-0 against spread.
Josh Dobbs officially having his jersey being sold in the team store. That's huge.
Finally. That's big.
What did I tell you about that Cardinals defense? Yeah. Well, it's the Cardinals offense that surprises me.
Well, yeah. Josh Dobbs.
Yeah. He can scoot.
And they've been running on people. I think they'll get killed.
Yeah. That seems like the 49ers are the best team in the NFL.
Yeah. And they just dominate people.
And did you know that since Chris McCaffrey was traded to the 49ers, the 49ers are 15 and 1 in regular season games. Yeah.
12 and 4 against the spread. And Chris McCaffrey is, we're on record watch.
Chris McCaffrey has 12 straight games scoring a touchdown. 13 is the 49ers record with Jerry Rice.
15 is the NFL record, OJ Simpson and John Riggins. Wow.
So he's, I mean, his prices to score a touchdown, I think they're like, I think it was, I was looking yesterday, it was like minus 240. That's insane.
Score a touchdown. Yeah, I think we should start talking with Christian McCaffrey about running back wins.
The way we talk about quarterback wins like yeah they're winners i think christian mccaffrey is a winner at the running back position and credit to us for being the ones who masterminded the whole thing exactly people forget we said it first we wished it into existence kyle listens to the program we know that he wears the hoodies when he's going up against hank's uh shitty cowboys teams in the playoffs and kyle shannon heard like, hey, that guy Christian McCaffrey, the running back for the Panthers, he's good at football. He's really good.
Kyle Shanahan was like, I got to look into him. Looked into him.
Next thing you know, boom, he's setting records. Never heard this guy.
All right, what's your nugget? Sunday's game between the Cardinals and Niners will be the fourth meeting in the last five games to feature a different quarterback matchup. 2021, Kyler Murray versus Trey Lance then their second game was colt mccoy jimmy garoppolo 2022 mccoy garoppolo again and then david blau and brock purdy and this week josh doves against brock purdy so no stability in this matchup no quarterbacks uh all right last game sunday night game chiefs at jets quick stat for you in chiefs games that taylor swift has attended the Chiefs are 1-0 against the spread.
And they're covering by a margin of 18 points against the spread. Yeah.
And this is another bring your girlfriend to the game game where it's like we're playing the Jets. Taylor's not a real girlfriend unless she goes to like an actual matchup against real team.
PFT, let me ask you a question. Travis Kelsey went to a Taylor Swift concert, right?

Yep.

Taylor Swift has gone to two Travis Kelsey games?

After this week.

Huh.

Seems like I was right.

The NFL is bigger than Taylor Swift.

There you go.

No problem.

Well, Zach Wilson does love older women.

He might ball out this weekend.

Yeah.

She's really old.

Is she really old?

No, but I'm just saying that to piss off Swifties.

How old is Taylor Swift?

She was born in 1989.

She was born in 1989.

Yeah, she's really old. Is she really old?

No, but I'm just saying that to piss off Swifties.

How old is Taylor Swift?

She's like 45.

Yeah, she's like 45.

That's all I know.

Oh, 1989.

Okay, that makes sense.

33.

Yeah, that whole old stuff.

That's a MILF.

Is Taylor Swift a MILF? I don't think she's...

Embrace debate.

Oh, I was going to say something right there.

I don't think she's that attractive. So, Big Cat...
I don't think she's that attractive. They're the same age.
I'm on record. Yeah.
I was going to say something right there. So I don't think she's that attractive.
So big cat. I don't think she's the same age.
I'm on record. I'm on record.
I would not have sex with Taylor Swift. I'm on record.
I would. I would not.
But I'm on record that I don't think I'd enjoy it that much. I would not.
I think she's she falls into like the Nicole Kidman status for me where I know that's in theory a beautiful woman, but it's like too elegant and fragile. Yeah.
Doesn't do it for me. Butterflies come out of her vagina.
Yeah, I don't like that. I don't like that at all.
Hank, what are your thoughts on this? You think we're getting ourselves in trouble? No. I would not have sex with her if she was right here and she was like, PFT, let's go.
You can put it anywhere. Be like, well, I'm going to keep it in my pants.
Yeah. Thank you so much, Taylor, but I got football to watch.
Yeah, sorry. watch yeah so you should watch it too yeah maybe you'd like it did you see that cheat sheet that got leaked i don't know if it was actually hers but it was very funny it was like a cheat sheet of when to cheer famous chiefs oh no all the traditions it was great yeah it was great the video that i thought was the best was uh the theory that she was escorted out of the suite inside of

a giant popcorn machine.

I think it's true. Apparently that's

how she gets into concert sometimes. Yeah.

With the mops. But I think

it's true because I saw so many videos of people

outside her box, but

none of the videos captured her

actually walking out. I feel like someone would have

gotten it. Who was in her box? Jake.

Not me. Donna Kelsey.
Oh, nice. That's hot.
Wait, no, she was in Donna Kelsey's box. Oh, yeah.
Yeah. Yeah.
Taylor wanted to try the mom before the son. Dennis Rodman was there.
Halberdner said that. The other video that made me laugh was the video of Travis Kelsey, like looking up and smirking.
And all the Swifties were like, look at how he looks at her. This is incredible.
And some dude just quoted him like, he's 100% looking at a replay right now. Or the scoreboard.
Yeah, he was looking at a replay. He was probably watching his own touchdown.
Yeah, pointing up at it, being like, yeah, fist pump. I love you.
Also, the tickets are skyrocketing for this game. Yeah, I mean, that and the tickets for the J game and and and jason kelsey is the biggest winner like the fact that you know their podcast is new and emerging and this is happening it's just hank why don't you date taylor there's like there's there's you had a report there's only so much you can do it's like i've been thinking about like what i can do and it's like there's a report a report that you're dating Beyonce.
Oh, is that true? No comment.

Come on.

Come on, Hank.

What's she like?

I do love Jay-Z.

It's a throuple.

Oh, so you're banging Jay-Z, too.

Yeah.

Even better.

What's it like?

What are the encounters like?

I don't want to speak Illuminati, things of that nature.

I think if I talked about it, I could get killed.

$500,000 or have a threesome with Jay-Z and Beyonce. Which one do you want? The latter.
Yeah. Imagine if Beyonce came and watched our podcast.
What the fuck are they talking about this lighthouse? Oh, fuck. I thought it was a sports podcast.
Yeah. The Chiefs are going to kill the Jets.
Well, the Jets found an answer at the quarterback position. They signed Trevor Simeon earlier this week.
This is my don't overthink a game of the week because there will be a lot of people who overthink and be like nine and a half, ten points.

No.

Chiefs, the fact that Taylor Swift is going, the Chiefs are going to fucking throttle.

They are.

And the Chiefs defense is not been talked about, has been very good this year.

Yeah.

If I was a Jets fan, memes, I would be so upset that the answer is trevor simeon that that's all you've gotten so far at what point does it become the jets problem and no longer zach wilson's problem uh yeah trevor simeon that was just the worst yesterday but zach wilson did have a quote today he said i promise i'm doing everything i can to get better yeah i believe him yeah he's due though he's due to have one good game i don't know is he you won no in prime time this year okay all right well he didn't start that game donna kelsey might be in the crowd okay that's all you got exactly so i'm saying he's gonna ball out for taylor swift you're saying no no no he's no. He's going to ball out because Donna Kelsey's there.
Yeah. All right.
Okay. Okay.
Yeah, you guys are going to get fucking pounded. No, the defense is going to show up on primetime.
You guys are going to get pounded. This is going to be a nice 17-3 game.
Well, that wouldn't be covering. No, I know.
That's what I'm going to do. That's the defense balling out.
Hey, what's Beyonce like as a kisser? How does she kiss? Great. Let me smell your lips.
Let me get a little of that. Does she dance for you, Hank? Yep.
Yeah, good. Nice.
Great dancer. Should we do our picks? Who goes first? What are the scores? Give us all, Jake.
Well, first off, Garrett Wilson, 20 games to reach 1,200 yards, the quickest road to that number any player in jets history okay so he's playing well um all right so in the warm-up and the opening act i'm four and two max and memes are two and four the main event big cat four oh and two undefeated nice two pushes hank three two and 2-4. Alright.
Anybody's game. Anybody's game.
And we're going to lead off with Max coming to me in the round. Okay.
Maxie. Give it to us.
I'll be the square of the room and I will take Bill's Dolphins over. That's not square.
That's fun. That's the fun guy.
No, that's the fun guy in the room. Bill's Dolphins currently 53 and a half.
Okay. You're going to take the Lunder, aren't you, Jay? Yep.
Over 53 and a half. Over? No, I was reiterating Max.
Falcons, Jaguarsaguars under 43.5. Okay.
Blunder. Okay.
I'm going to take the Broncos-Bears over. I wanted it.
That's right, 46.5. I wanted it.
46.5. Yeah, there's going to be some points.
I really wanted it bad. I'll trade you.
You can put together a package for me. Okay, I'll look at a package.
Maybe we'll get

a package together. You're right.

Okay. Henry

Jags.

Jags minus three.

Fuck, I wanted that too. Jaguars minus three against the

Falcons. Yeah.

I wanted that too. Alright, I will

take the Cincinnati Bengals

minus two and a half. Against the Titans.

I am the Bengal whisperer.

I hope that continues. I'm 3-0 in Bengals games

this year. It wouldn the Bengal whisperer.

I hope that continues.

I'm 3-0 in Bengals games this year.

Wouldn't it be sick if you just picked one team and you just went perfect?

That's what I'm trying to do with the Bengals.

The Jets need to bring back the coin.

Where's the coin at this year?

Yeah, that's true.

The coin was perfect.

Mimsy.

Anybody take the Bucs Saints over?

Nope. Nope.
No. Jameis.
39 and a half. I like that.
I love it. A couple pick sixes in that game for somebody.
Okay. And then Vikings minus four and a half.
Okay. Vikings minus four and a half.
Against the Panthers. Hmm.
Hmm.

Hmm. This is tough.
I will go with the Raiders Chargers over 48 and a half. I'm just going to bet this game so I know that that will be my bet.
It's a 305 game. So it's people are mad that we're saying central time now.
It's the 40.05 game, and that's the one where either PFT or someone else in the spider, someone's like, hey, remember, there's a game coming up in three minutes. I'm like, over.
So just set it. Plus with nine in the early slate, there's going to be some chaos.
Yeah, yeah. Earlier.
So that is how my brain works. That's what's going to happen.
Ravens, Browns, over 40 and a half. Yeah.
Ew. Yeah.
I don't think so. Oh, yeah.
I don't think so, pal. Oh, yeah.
I don't think so. 40 and a half is low.
A couple picks six. A couple wonky plays.
Defensive touchdowns. Special teams.
These two teams know each other. Right.
I think it's going to be close. Maybe overtime.
Right. A lot of ways to get to 40 and a half.
There is. Give me a couple.
A couple defensive touchdowns.

That's 14.

Give me scores.

You give us scores.

And then three touchdowns aside.

Give us scores.

How do you get to 40 and a half?

21, 20, 17, 23.

23, 17?

No, that's 40.

Oh!

That's an under.

24.

41, nothing.

Okay.

39 to 2. Gami.
Gami. Gami.
15-19. What about 21-18? Wait, 15-19.
15-19, not even close. Not even close.
Fuck. That's 34.
21-18? I'm concerned with you not being able to. I don't know if you can get to 40 and a half.
No, I crushed the football math when we did that. Okay.
I think the Browns will win this game 24-21. 27-13.
About 27-13? No. Okay.
I just want to make sure how sharp. 24-21 Browns.
Okay. PFT.
I am going to take the Houston Texans plus three at home against the Steelers. I like it.

Going a home dog.

I like it.

Jake?

Going to be the square.

Chiefs minus eight and a half.

Eight and a half now.

Yeah.

It's probably smart.

Yeah.

Safe.

Just if it's 10 point game in the fourth quarter, do you feel good about Zach Wilson scoring?

I don't. Memes, you you don't you said he's ass you do alright Max Rams I think it's a money line nope what is it minus one look at Max trying to steal from the cookie jar.
Fine. Gotcha.
With AWL Daniel G and his Andrew Luck tattoo in attendance. There we go.
And Sean Payton knows the spread, so he's going to try to win this game. Sean McVay.
Sean McVay. Also Sean Payton.
Also knows the spread. Yeah.
Also all the Seans. Okay.
Fantasy Fuckboys, and let's get to both of them. Oh, yeah.

He's going to face fuck Jerry Jones' geriatric body and fucking dumbass.

I hope somebody takes a gif of what Hank just did with his hand in his mouth

because it's not going to be pretty.

Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

And my sleeper is the Ryder Cup because it's going to be going on when you're sleeping.

You get home from the bars.

You turn it on.

You fall asleep.

Maybe it's still on when you wake up.

Kind of fucking weird hours, but you just sleep, Ryder Cup, golf, live it, ride a cup, golf. What time are you getting back from the bars, Romeo? 12, 12, 1, 2.
I'm pretty sure it starts at like 3, 3, 4 a.m. Okay, you're going to have to go to another bar, late night bar.
I got a late night spot, maybe a strip club, you never know. Hang up.
Golf bars. All right.
All right. Hey, what's up, dickheads? It's me, Marco Simone.
Marco. I'm starting this weekend.
Commander Biden. Commander Biden, that fucking dog.
Yeah. Bit a 12th person.
Fucking a dog. Just putting up great stats, all-time stats.
This dog is the best biter of all time. He's got that dog in him.
He's Will Chamberlain a dog. That's right.
I'm sitting Pat Riley. That's right.
I'm sitting Pat Riley, the godfather. He's lost a step, couldn't close the deal.
Pat, dame over. You couldn't get it done.
Oh, he said dame over. Dame over, bitch.
He said dame over. And your show got canceled.
Yeah. And your show's canceled.
And your show's canceled, you bitch. Dame over.
My sleeper, I'm sleeping the first half of the Jags-Falcons game. I'm going to wake up for it, but I'll probably snooze just a little bit while I'm watching it.
We got Arthur versus Doug. What is this game going to be on ESPN or Cartoon Network? Oh.
Except one of those was on PBS. The other one was on Nickelodeon.
You fucking moron. Shut the fuck up, Romeo.
Shut the fuck up, Romeo. It was a joke about cartoons, you bitch.
You don't know what a cartoon is. You don't even know what a fucking lighthouse is.
I fucking love Arthur. You're making me do the fist right now.
What's up, fuckers? It's Salvatore Fettuccine. What's up? Hey, SF.
Sal, Sal. My stardom is Lighthouseshouses We got all the way through the podcast And I'll mention the lighthouse But I really want to talk about the lighthouse But Hank Romeo just brought it up a second ago Romeo did bring it up But I already had that as my stardom You're gaslighting him Just like you gaslit Max the other day You fucker You did gaslight Max the other day Yeah that was fucked up The ACL tear Max never said that All of you guys gaslit me He never said that Never said that My sit-em is Daryl Morey He's a fat, big was fucked up.
The ACL tear. Max never said that.
All of you guys gaslit me. He never said that.
Never said that. My sit-um is Daryl Morey.
He's a big, fat liar. That's what James Harden had in his body.
He had big, fat liar signs all over the place. Listen, he might be big and he might be a liar, but I don't think he's that fat.
He might not have said fat. He said Daryl Morey is a liar.
I might have put that in there. I stand behind James Harden.
Yeah, my sleeper is Captain Luke Donald from the Ryder Cup European team. He was asked today in the press conference, what's it like sleeping with the enemy? Because he's got an American wife.
Oh, he's got a little bit of a lot. Yeah, you don't come take our pussy and then try to fucking beat us at golf Hands off Do you like our holes Or do you not like our holes Yeah What the fuck brother I can't believe that someone has that That's all time Max I don't know It's Max and Brian Harmon Mega team Mega team Max isn't Mega Corp though Hank I know but it Mega.
It's Mega. Okay.
Otter Cups can be fun. I'm so confused about the formats for it.
Me too. They put out the first four today.
Yeah, what? Is Brooke still playing? Did he get benched? What's going on? I guess he's playing in the afternoon. I don't know.
He's playing in the four ball. What? He's playing in the four ball.
What's the four ball? In four ball, each member of a two-man team plays his own ball, so four balls are in play on every hole. Each team counts the lowest of its two scores on each hole, and the team who has the player with the lowest score wins the hole.
Oh. Oh, okay.
And then what's Saturday? Oh, so Brooks is playing by himself, basically. There's foursomes, which is each team playing one ball per hole.
Alternate shot? Yeah. Yeah, alternate shot.
But they label it foursomes and then singles, all singles matches. Wait, so is Brooks playing on Friday? He is, but I think he's playing in the afternoon.
Got it. I don't know.
I'm not fully certain either, but I saw those four announcements and he wasn't on there. Okay, nice.
Brooks is going to dominate the afternoon. And Max, this is his home track as an Italian.
Yep. And not AP.
Nope. We can't say that.
Nope. Trust me.
There's plenty of bigger perverts in Italy than Max Homo. RIP Silvio Berlusconi.
The goat. The goat pervert.
He was to perverts what commander is to dogs. Yes.

It is Booger McFarland talking football. We have a lot of things we want to ask you, but we have to start with this Sunday.
are you calling you're calling the london game but you're doing it a little different way is that right yeah doing the tour story version so this is going to be a uh a fun deal because i've never been a cartoon and so for the first time i get to be animated and so you're going to see in here animated book also calling football, so it's going to be fun, man.

So are you in the suit that they give you? Because I'm actually very excited. I'm going to try to test this out and see if my kids will watch football with me via the animation.
Are you going to be in, like, one of those live-action green suits with the balls on it? Because, I mean, we're just watching right now. If people are watching on the YouTube, Bug has already had to towel off his face and his torso.
Are you in trouble with this suit? I'm worried about you. Well, first of all, I'm worried about myself.
I've already told them that the AC needs to be at like 62 because I got to be in this suit first of all as you said and they said it takes about 30 to 40 minutes to get in the suit and put all the little balls on it and I'm saying to myself why does it take 30 to 40 minutes is it they were like well it's a little tight I'm like whoa whoa whoa I said first of all bug don't do tight like I don't wear spandex like it's something I just don't do. They're like, no, but it's very breathable.
And I'm like, really, guys? They're like, yeah. And so the dude that did the NHL version, he was telling me about it.
And he said that the suit is actually very comfortable. I said, dude, you're 6'1", 170.
Everything is comfortable for you. OK, I'm 6'1", 280.
I said, I need AC. I need the studio on 62.
So I've already told them the studio has got to be very cold, but I'm excited. It's the first time I'll be motion captured and the first time I'll be animated.
So I don't know how it's going to look. Hopefully the facial features resemble kind of a cartoon character.
Hopefully not Fat Albert, maybe somewhere in between.

You know, that's kind of what I'm hoping.

So it's going to be fun.

I remember watching the NHL broadcast and it was awesome.

It was very fun to watch.

Have you thought about what you're going to do in case there's like a fight that breaks out on the field?

Are we going to have like little Toy Story characters like hitting each other

in the head with their helmets?

Well, I'm hoping at that point we go to like a commercial or something because the kids don't need to see that, obviously. Yeah.
I don't know, man. Hopefully they realize that we're in a situation where we're trying to promote something kid-worthy and the Jags and the Falcons will be on their best behavior.
Yeah. Do you know what character you're going to be? No.
So I'm going to be myself. I'm not going to

be a character. So they're going to animate

me as Boog and then the guy

Drew Carter is going to be himself

and then all the Jacksonville Jaguar

players and the Falcons players are going to be themselves.

But the Toy Story characters

are going to be in and around. So like you're going to

see Slinky Dog and you're going to see

Jesse and Woody and Mr. and Mrs.
Potato

Head. Like they're going to be doing different things around the game.
But the actual people, myself, Drew, the Jaguars, the Falcons, their coaches, they're going to be themselves. I can't wait to see cartoon Arthur Smith.
That's going to be great. Yeah.
Now I can tell my kids, like I know that guy who's talking to us on the TV. All right.
So let's talk some football. You get credit, and this hurts me to start here, but you get credit because you were someone that I noticed was like, hey, Justin Fields isn't ready.
It's not working right now. So tell me, is it over for Justin Fields with the Bears and what you actually are seeing week in and week out with this Bears offense? Number one, yes, it's over.
Because I think we've seen a big enough sample size to know that there hasn't been enough improvement to say, I want to see more. And we can blame the offensive coordinator.
Luke Getze is not great. Like, he's not the second coming of Sean McVay or Sean Payton or some of these innovative guys like Andy Reid.
But there are plays there to be made, and Justin Fields just doesn't make them. In the NFL, in order to be an average quarterback, you have to make the layups.
Like, you got to make your free throws, you got to make the layups. Those are Kirk Cousins-type plays.
If you want to be special, you got to make turnaround threes like Steph Curry. That's Patrick Mahomes and Josh Allen.
Well, Justin Fields struggles to make layups and free throws. And those are the things that concern me.
If you can't make the layups and the free throws, then I'm not concerned that you can make the alley-oop dunk. Like the alley-oop dunk is what we all see when he does the runs and he goes for 60 and it's on SportsCenter.
And everybody's like, there we go, Justin Fields. And I'm like, okay, you can't survive like that.
Look at Trey Lance. Like anytime a quarterback is living by running the football, that quarterback can't survive.
So I've seen enough. I just don't think that in Chicago, it's going to work.
And the fans have probably seen enough. That's why I don't think bringing a new coordinator is going to change.
I mean, let me ask you, you're the biggest Chicago fan I know. Would you be willing to see more of Justin Field if there were a different coordinator? No, no.
And I think you nailed it. Like it is, I root for the guy.
I wanted the guy to be good. I, he seems like an awesome, awesome dude, but I think it's a combo of broken all around.
So I'm not, I don't put all the blame on him, but I also am realistic now. I wasn't before the season started.
I'm realistic now that the progression that you needed to see just isn't there. And if the Bears are going to be as bad as they look right now, which I think they will be for the rest of the season, you have a chance to draft someone in a Caleb Williams or Drake May that you can't pass up and just say, oh, well, hopefully Justin Fields will figure it out.
And so, yeah, unfortunately, I think it's over. And I think that you have to start looking to the next thing and understand, like, the biggest mistake you could make right now if you're the Bears is making a mistake and then extending the mistake and being like, well, we'll fix even more because, like, it's a mistake.
It's already fucked up the Bears this year. So figure out a way to move on from that.
It's kind of like the Cardinals with Josh Rosen. They're like, hey, this isn't working out.
We got to go get Kyler Murray. And they did that, what, a year later.
So figuring out a way out of a mistake is almost as important as, you know, realizing that the mistake is there and not telling yourself that you can continue down this road. Yeah, I think you said a lot there to basically agree with me, and I definitely appreciate that.
Yeah, I do agree with you. And I said I give you credit because you were saying it before the season, and you were honest about it, and I appreciate your honesty.
I obviously was a fool and blinded by faith and hope. Well, you remember in the preseason he threw a couple of screen passes one to DJ Moore one to the running back they went like 70 yards and everybody's like Justin Fields MVP and I'm like I mean I can throw the screen pass and I can't play quarterback worth a damn so like I I wasn't uh wowed by that at the end of the day, guys, it's really simple.
Like, judging a quarterback isn't hard, but it is hard. If you're a fan at home, ask yourself this.
Can my quarterback make good decisions? Is he accurate with the football? And can he deliver the football on time? If your quarterback can't do those three things, it doesn't matter what else he can do. If he can't do those three, at the end of the day, you don't really have a quarterback.
It's why Chad Pennington could play in the NFL for a long time because he was accurate and he made good decisions. Chad Pennington couldn't throw it through a wet paper bag.
He ran like five flat in the 40, but it doesn't matter because he was accurate and he made really good decisions, so he played in the NFL. Justin Fields can't do that consistently enough.
So another quarterback that has trouble with, I would say, all three of those facets of the game, maybe more, would be Zach Wilson. Yes.
And it's gotten to the point where now teams, like opposing defenses, when they get ready to face them, have to hold back laughter when talking about who they're going up against and what they have to prepare for. And I'm sure you saw that clip, but it's like, you don't want to give the other guy bulletin board material and you've been coached to not given bulletin board material, but everything that you say can't help, but be a knock against their passing offense.
So you've been on some pretty good defenses in the past. You've had some, some average quarterback play that you've been around sometimes where the defense was like expected to carry the team.
What's that like in the locker room when you have a great defense and then everybody knows that the quarterback might not be the guy that's, you know, he's not playing up to the same level as the D. So the D is going to be expected to carry everything.
What's that like in the locker room? Well, first and foremost, as a defense, you better be sharp every day. Like you better come to work every day and be ready to dot the I's and cross the T's.
You better be on your job. Second thing is you try to encourage the quarterback.
And as long as the quarterback is doing everything he can do, I can live with the mistakes. Here's what I mean by that.
I mean, he's saying the right thing in the media. He's coming to work on time.
I see him in the film room. I see him working hard at practice.
I see him doing everything he possibly can. And then if you still suck, then guess what? At least I know you're doing everything you can.
And all I want you to do is just give me everything you got, because that's all you can do. Now, it's up to the coaches and the general manager to put somebody else out there.
But as long as you're out there, you got to give me everything you got. And so I'm going to tell you, hey, man, we believe in you.
I want you to continue to work hard. Now, where the defense really starts to look at the guy sideways is kind of the reason we're in this situation.
If you remember last year, Zach Wilson got to the podium and said it wasn't his fault. Well, if it's not your fault, then whose fault is it, big guy? And that's when a defensive player is going to look at him like, hey, dude, like you just lost us the game.
Accept responsibility so we can move on. And so I think Zach learned from that, and I think that's the reason why Aaron Rodgers was in New York in the first place is because they realized Zach wasn't ready.
So I really don't think it's Zach's fault that Zach is back in this situation again. I think it's the Jets' fault that they decided to make Zach the number two, realizing or hoping that Aaron Rodgers was going to make it through the entire season.
But defensively, you got to be ready to dominate, man. Like John Gruden got to Tampa and he told us, hey, you guys think you're a great defense.
We said, yeah. He's like, here's the one thing you guys don't do.
Y'all don't score a touchdown. So guess what we did that year? We scored nine touchdowns on defense.
That's what we did. Like it's really like you got to be able to do more as a defense.
And so far, the Jets' defense hasn't done enough. If you look at the Dallas Cowboy game, they gave up a ton of points.
If you look at the Patriot game, they gave up – Sauce Gardner gives up a big play to the tight end down the seam. That was his responsibility.
So we can't point fingers at the quarterback when we're not doing our job. That's what I would say to my defense if we're in that locker room yeah we're not scoring touchdowns either look at the man in the mirror yeah that's yeah that's what that's what has to happen at this point is like the defense has to become your offense you just big guide zach wilson too that's i like that that means a lot yeah listen big guy uh it seems like he you can what you can say about zach wilson is he is doing like the small stuff i think it like his teammates like him this season.
Last year might have been a different story when he was allocating blame, but this year it seems like his teammates like him. So you're right.
I don't think it's Zach's fault anymore. Zach is who he is.
It's the team's fault for not getting somebody else and then recognizing, like Big Cat was talking about earlier, okay, we made a mistake. Let's move on from that mistake right now before it costs us the entire season.

Yeah, and unfortunately for the Jets, and you talk about that comment,

I think that was Willie Gay, the linebacker for the Chiefs.

Yeah.

Like in that locker room, the Chiefs players are saying,

hey, man, there's no way we can lose to Zach Wilson

unless we just absolutely go out there and screw it up.

And so he's trying his best not to give them bulletin board material by saying that. That's why he caught himself and laughed and tried to kind of clean it up a little bit.
But, I mean, everybody knows that the Jets have to play a perfect game in order to compete with Kansas City Sunday night. They got to play a perfect game, meaning they got to get sack calls, fumbles on defense.
They got to get a couple of turnovers from Patrick Mahomes. And then Zach Wilson is going to have to hit Gary Wilson over the top for a couple of bombs.
They might need a special team touchdown. And even if they get all of that, it still might not be enough just because that's how good Patrick Mahomes is.
So from your experience, both playing and then covering the game and talking to guys, how tense does it get between a defense and an offense on the same team? Because I think that is something that that the casual fan might not realize that you're on the same team but you don't really like the guys aren't like mingling as much as you think when it comes to defense and offense you're kind of staying with your group your position group your side of the ball how tense does it get when the defense if they start scoring touchdowns if they you know 15 giving up 15 points to the Patriots, you should be able to win an NFL game if you only give up 15 points. So at what point do you think that tension starts to bubble over where it's like, you guys aren't doing your job.
We're doing ours. This is bullshit.
It only gets tense when the offense starts to make comments, meaning if the offense is humble and they're quiet and they're like, hey, man, you know, we're not pulling our end of the bargain here and we're going to go out and we're going to continue. Like if they continue to have confidence and continue to go out and work hard, then it doesn't bother the defense.
But if the offense starts to kind of pop off a little bit, starts to not work hard in practice, starts to be late to a meeting or two, and they say something in the media like, hey, yeah, I know we're not playing well, but I mean, our defense gave up 21. At that point, that's when the divisive atmosphere starts to be created because everybody knows the obvious.
Like we're all human, but we're going to support our teammates as long as our teammates understand, hey, we're not doing our job and be humble about it. Like, just don't be an asshole and say, hey, man, y'all got to do more as a defense.
Right now, we're not very good offensively. Okay, well, duh, we already know that.
But don't come out and put us on blast if we make a mistake or two. Prime example, let's just say if, and I'm not saying this happened, for example if Garrett Wilson would have said man we could have beat the uh New England Patriots if only sauce Gardner doesn't give up that play at that point like those are fighting words those are those are words that cost us uh the next day of practice when we're going to come in and we're like hey man like it's going to be a lot of tension in that locker room I don't think the Jets have that now now.
I think Robert Sala understands. He's a defensive coach also, so let's not forget.
It's not like you have an offensive coach running this team. You have a defensive coach that understands my defense has to be held to a higher standard.
And just, you know, for disclosure, he knows that. Like, I've talked to Coach Sala.
He knows his defense has to play better, and he said they will. Booger is being brought to you by Cars.com.

Where to next? And now here's more Booger McFarland all right so I'm happy we had you on because probably the hottest story this week in the NFL is the tush push the Eagles tush push uh two-part question one do you have any problem with the play and two as a defense a defensive player and watching defense How the hell do you stop it?

I do not have a problem with the play.

However, it is a contradictory play because they told us we couldn't push the defenders

on defense when it's time to block a field goal.

Like they told us we couldn't do that.

So it's okay for the offense to push the quarterback, but as a defender,

we can't push the tackles to go block the field goal.

So it's so contradictory by the NFL. I don't have a problem with it.
I believe football is hard, and if something is working, it's your job as a defense to stop it. Now, how do you stop it? It's really simple.
I think that the defensive tackles have to get down very, very low and take out those offensive linemen, and then you have to have linebackers that are willing to come over the top and with forearms and elbows and just go right at the quarterback. I'm not saying hit him in the head, but you're trying to go at his ribs, go at his throat, like hit the quarterback.
The way you make the quarterback stop running is you physically assault him because he's a runner at that point. He's not a quarterback.
He's a runner. So you have to physically hit the dude.
Understand that, that if you physically hit him and you and you bring bodily harm, then he'll tell his coach, hey, man, we might want to cancel that. It's like Patrick Mahomes.
He'll never run another quarterback sneak again. Never, never.
After he dislocated his kneecap, he'll never run

another one again. And I'm not saying

that you want to intentionally injure somebody,

but you have to physically hit the quarterback.

Stephen Che, did you hear your

boy Stephen Che? He went off on

Jalen Hurts. In the heat of the moment,

he was like, I want him hurt.

I want you to hurt him. And

word got back to

Jalen Hurts about it. He was not happy.

So Stephen Che just gave Jalen Hurts bulletin

board material. Well, that's not nice

Thank you. I want you to hurt him.
And word got back to Jalen Hurts about it. He was not happy.
So Stephen Chages gave Jalen Hurts bulletin board material. Well, that's not nice about Stephen.
By the way, I'm not familiar with Stephen, but I see him in a lot of places, in a lot of farms. And he seems to be very popular.
Give me the origin of him, please. Well, he used to be one of our ad ops guys.
and he was in charge of telling us, okay, here's the ad read that you have to do at this point. And then he's become content where he's like a fantasy football guy, and he's like the embodiment of every guy that you would see in like a Buffalo Wild Wings fantasy football draft commercial.
Where's his jersey everywhere? He was built in a lab. He was built in a football lab.
He found out about Barstool because the one time I went on Mike and Mike, so he found Barstool. He's like, wow, there's something other than ESPN.
He doesn't think – he doesn't – like, when we asked him, he didn't know that there was a war going on in Russia and Ukraine for, like, the first three months because Adam Schefter hadn't reported it. That's Stephen Che.
Okay. Enough saying.
Okay. Yeah.
He was like, why isn't there an Adam Schefter but for like world events? And we're like, Stephen, you're talking about the news. Just watch the news, Stephen.
But yeah, it's a fun play. I like the play.
I say keep running until it gets stopped and stop complaining about it because you can do it too on offense and you're right like on defense they call leverage they call pushing like it the rule should be both ways it should not just favor the offense on that one but I had a question for you about Mac Jones so it seems like there's enough body of evidence out there to say that Mac Jones loves hitting people in their penis.

And he's done it like three times.

He's tried to slide tackle guys in their nuts twice.

And then he just reached out and hit sauce right in his sauce.

And it's pretty obvious that he's a dirty player.

I don't think he's good enough to be dirty.

And if I were on his team, especially if I were on defense, I would be pissed off because now it's open season on my penis.

Because this guy won't stop touching other people's crotches.

Thank you. And if I were on his team, especially if I were on defense, I would be pissed off because now it's open season on my penis because this guy won't stop touching other people's crotches.

How do you feel about his play?

And have you ever played with a player that has, you know, like goes over that line?

Well, hopefully that I don't even really know how to as a teammate to respond to Mac.

I don't know how you start that conversation. Like, hey, man, are you okay? Like, that would be my first question.
You know, guys who do that usually are guys that if a real fight broke out, they can't win. So they're looking for a way to end the fight early.
And so how do you end the fight early with a guy? Because if you hit any guy correctly in that spot they're not fighting for at least

one to two minutes okay so so typically guys who go for the crotch are guys that are that are trying to avoid fisticuffs and avoid getting hit in the mouth and they're trying to get away now uh because guys who really want to fight guys don't do that because guys guys who really want to fight don't go to that point. They go up high

where we can handle it like men.

I don't know if Mack could win a fight. And so Mack is trying to continue what probably he's continued throughout his entire life.
Mack has probably been in a couple fights, and the way he ended those fights early, he just kind of gave the guy a nice little four fingers and a thumb to the place that no guy wants to get it you know oh man it's uh yeah it feels like it feels like it's happened more than a few times uh other defensive question i wanted to ask you and we're going to find out on sunday because the bills do have a good defense but how the fuck do you stop the dolphins they're so fast i don't every time i I watch them, it looks like we're in fast forward

when they're on offense because it's just impossible to guard that type of team speed.

So if you're a defensive coordinator, what the hell are you trying to figure out

to stop this team?

Well, it's amazing that you asked that question because I've faced a team like that.

Remember the greatest show on turf?

Everybody said they couldn't be stopped.

You know, Torrey Holt, Isaac Bruce, Marshall Falk, Ricky Pro, unstoppable.

They're scoring 40.

It's the greatest show we've ever seen.

Thank you. show on turf everybody said they couldn't be stopped you know tory holt isaac bruce marshall falk ricky pro unstoppable they're scoring 40 it's the greatest show we've ever seen for our fifth what is it three three and a half court actually until the like the like five minutes left in the game we held them to what five points the nfc championship game right yeah 99 nfc championship and listen and here's how you do it and I get it the game has changed and the game is a little different now but essentially the principles are the same you can't give up the big play I mean you got to keep the ball in front of you all right um you have to disrupt the speed speed is only good when it's moving uninterrupted if you follow me okay imagine somebody running track and they had to stop and start and run around things.
They wouldn't be as fast. So you got to interrupt the receivers.
You got to bang them. You got to hit them.
You got to disrupt their routes. You got to disrupt the continuity of the offense.
That's how we beat the St. Louis Rams, okay? We weren't going to allow them to get in rhythm.
And then at the end of the day, you hit the quarterback. All right.
Prime example. First play of the game.
Torrey Hope catches a slant. Derrick Brooks hits him in the ribs and cracked his ribs.
We didn't worry about Torrey Hope the rest of the day. All right.
So at that point, the great show on turf knew it was going to be business and it wasn't a dirty hit. It was a shoulder into the ribs, and he cracked his ribs, and he was coughing up blood.
And so we beat the hell out of him physically, man. The Dolphins are kind of like the Golden State Warriors, man.
Like they want to get out and fast break and no look three and, you know, no look shovel pass. Man, make it a fist fight.
Hit him in the mouth. Like hit the quarterback.
The one thing one thing Tua has not had happen to him this year, he hasn't been hit in the mouth. Their offensive line isn't great.
It's better than – it's a little bit above average, but it's not great. And so I think when they go against the upper echelon teams that can rush the passer with four guys, Philadelphia, San Francisco, even the Rams to a certain point.
And I know this sounds crazy, but the Rams can pressure you with four guys. Like when you can pressure that offense with four dudes, we're not going to see the same offense.
And let's remember, let's remember that Bill Belichick had that offense in check on Sunday night. So I know we're going to go crazy because the hapless Broncos give up 70.
They're a really good team. I don't think they're unstoppable.
Yeah. What's crazy about the Dolphins team is not only do they have that speed on the outside, but it seems like their running game is really good too, like very, very good.
And you talked about their offensive line. Is it just the scheme? Is it the scheme that makes this rushing attack so good? Or could they, if they had to, if your receivers are getting banged up, if two is getting hit a lot, could they rely on just being a running team and be pretty good offensively? Yeah, they could because of the scheme that they run.
It's a zone-based scheme that they do a lot of motion. They get a lot of different, they out-leverage you with a lot of different angles.
And let's not forget, Mike McDaniel was the run game coordinator in San Francisco before he got the job. So his major, so to speak, is running the football.
So they can run the football with the best of them. And those backs are so fast, they're not running your typical power plays.
Like, they want to get those backs going downhill, one cut and go. So, yeah, like, they are really, really good.
But the NFL has always been a copycat league. This is nothing we haven't seen before.
Anytime you look at offensive football, the greatest show on turf might be the best offense that I've ever seen where you have Hall of Fame back, Hall of Fame quarterback, Hall of Fame receiver. I mean, you got guys that are all world like they're not that but they got a lot of fast dudes that people have yet to figure out i don't have to be afraid of their speed i need it like speed is one of those things where you don't back up off of it you got to get in speed's face okay like you got to get up on it and disrupt it a little bit and people are scared to play it that way i like that i like that card yeah get in speed's face it sounds to me like you're you're saying that the dolphins might not be built for winter weather oh um i don't know if they are are built for a physical matchup in winter weather i will see i don't know if the cold weather has anything to do for do with it i think it has to do with is there a team that's going to make them feel like the game is kind of

mucked up and will the weather play a factor in that sure it can but it's more important for that team to kind of make them feel like okay prime example it would be like the Golden State Warriors going against the bad boy Pistons like that's what that's how you need to play Miami Like, you need to be physical with them. You need Rick Mahorn just kind of slapping the hell out of somebody.
Like, you need all that going on to disrupt what they do. What's a team that has surprised you through three weeks, good or bad? Good or bad? Good.
Like, how good the Arizona Cardinals are playing and how much they're fighting. I mean, think about these guys.
They didn't get their quarterback until like two weeks before the season started. I know.
Everybody's like, hey, they're going to start Clayton Toome. No, they'll start Josh Dobbs.
He just got here. I don't even know if he has a place to stay.
They didn't even have his jersey in a team store and he's a starting quarterback. Yeah.
So, like, that's been a surprise. How bad the Broncos are, like Sean Payton.
I mean, that's – Sean Payton has spent a lot of time worrying about a lot of things besides football here lately, and it's kind of coming back to bite him and you know what. How bad the Vikings are.
You know, it's amazing how last year the Vikings were, what, 11-0 in one-score games, and this year they can't win one. Yeah.
And, you know, all the rumblings about Kirk Cousins. So, yeah, the New York Giants playing through early on, it's almost like they're trying to validate the contract, or lack thereof, Saquon, because they were playing through Daniel Jones a little bit that's kind of a surprise I know Brian Daybo I think he'll get that fixed but it's still early man like kind of like baseball people say you look up at Memorial Day and then you kind of know who's good well in football you kind of look up at Halloween and you kind of figure out who's good uh and who can count on.
And I think we're still starting to figure it out. Prime example, like the Bengals are one and two.
Is anybody ready to write the Bengals off? Definitely not. I'm ready to put a future on them.
I'm ready to put a future on them to win the Super Bowl. Yeah.
Well, that might be a bit much. Okay, but it's still early.
That's my point. It's still early.
Are we officially writing the Chargers off? Because I saw your tweet the other day. You said, Brandon Staley, sir.
You served him. Brandon Staley, sir.
You are one incompetent coach. I don't care what happens for the rest of the game.
Anytime you serve a guy, that's basically saying, like, I hate your guts. How bad is he, man? Like, come on, man.
Seriously. Like how many times, how many times does he have to hit 19 and blackjack for us to say this guy can't get it done? Like, come on, dude.
Like at some point I get the analytics, but man, come on, dude. Like, and on top of that, like, forget the analytics.
Let's just say you believe in what he's doing. All right.
What is his specialty be defense and their defense is terrible awesome they can't hit the quarterback they can't get to the quarterback and that's that's what the team was like it was based on in the past couple years obviously herbert is a very very good quarterback they've got weapons at running back weapons at wide receiver they should be on paper a great team but now the defense isn't getting it

done and you're taking these same chances and yeah I I kind of agree with you I think I think he put himself firmly firmly on the hot seat like he should be fired after that game regardless of the fact that they won I don't know how he made it to this year because Sean Payton uh reportedly wanted that job and he didn't you know he wanted Justin Herbert and not Russell Wilson which you You can't blame him for that.

But they decided to keep him.

And now the Chargers, what, are one and two? reportedly wanted that job. And he wanted Justin Herbert and not Russell Wilson, which you can't blame him for that.

But they decided to keep him.

And now the Chargers are one and two.

And he's still standing behind some of those decisions he's making.

I don't know how, especially losing Mike Williams, and I get it.

I get what's going on.

They got Quentin Johnson, the big receiver out of TCU,

to take Mike Williams' place. But, but man something's missing with the Chargers like they always have all the talent the powder blues everybody gets excited but like Joey Bosa hasn't been great lately Khalil Mack hadn't really heard from him since he left Chicago Big Cat I mean like what's going on like it just seems like something is amiss out there.
Yeah, they're the Chargers. That's kind of what it is.
We just put our hands up and like, they're the Chargers. That's how they're going to lose these games.
College football, real quick, because you do a lot of college football. Take out Georgia.
Who's winning the national title? Who's your team? I mean, it's been I think it's been one of the best seasons so far through one month with Deion, the Pac-12, everything. So many storylines.
But what team do you have your eyes on? It's like, that team's going to win the national title, not named Georgia. I don't know if Georgia's going to win it, number one.
Okay. I like that.
Well, Texas is really good. Their defense.
I think Texas has probably the most impressive win of the season going into Tuscaloosa beating Alabama. Florida State's legit.
I just think that they're tough, they're gritty, they got a quarterback that's been there and done that. Mike Norvell, it's amazing.
He was left for dead in how you use the transfer portal to come back. So Florida State's good.
USC, I don't know if they can stop a nosebleed until I see their defense play a little bit better.

And I know it's played better this season,

but I got to see it a little bit more consistently.

You talk about a future, Big Cat.

I'm going to give you one.

And I want you to go put, I don't know,

put whatever you want to put on it.

Me and you will share it. Okay.

On the Washington Huskies.

Already did.

Already did.

20 to 1.

You get a cut. Perfect.
Perfect. Michael Penix is legit.
I think their schedule is very favorable. They're going to score 40 on everybody.
And I just think nobody's going to pay attention to them. Now, everybody's going to point to the last time we saw Washington and Alabama beat them, what, 28-0 or whatever back in the Peach Bowl in Atlanta.
Two things. One, I think they're so much better now.
And two, I don't think there's a team as physically dominant as that Alabama team was then. So this is the most wide open season we've ever seen in college football.
I think there's six or seven teams that can win it. Ohio State, they got a lot of flash,

but I thought what Lou Holtz said, even though Ryan Day, he went crazy. I'm not sure why,

but there was some validity. Think about the last couple of times Michigan has won.

They physically beat them up at the line of scrimmage. They rushed for like 200 yards.
So there's some validity to what Lujo said, even though Ryan Day kind of took offense to it. So I got to see what Ohio State does when they get against a physical team.
I mean, who else? I mean, Oregon? Are you really a believer in Bo Nix? I don't know. This is the year.
I'm not. Well, okay.
So was the last couple. You know what I'm saying? I know.
It's been great, though. You're right.
There are so many good teams right now. Are you a Deion believer? He's the lightning rod of college football through one month.
Do you think that we've given too much praise to him? Because it does feel it it's a story that we see all the time in sports. Media builds someone up, and then if they lose, media breaks him down.
I have trust in Dion. I think he's building something that is going to be phenomenal in a couple years here.
But do you have any coach prime fatigue? No, because, I mean, my company is the one that kind of has all the

commercials running and all that.

I don't have fatigue because

I get it. I understand what's going on.

Deion took a team

that was 1-11. He's already won

three games. What is he? 3-1?

3-2? I can't remember what his record is right now.

3-1.

Probably not looking great to

win this weekend. Let's just say it's 3-2 And then there are a bunch of winnable games after that.
Dion takes if I told you before the season, he takes a 1-11 team to a bowl game. What would everybody say? Everybody would be like, oh, there's no way.
People will be ecstatic because nobody envisioned that. So I think that's what's going to happen.
I think Colorado goes to the bowl game. I think Dion is great for college football.
And I think the reason why some people are bothered is because he does it a different way. He does it the untraditional way.
See, we're used to the Saban press conference and Hey guys, here's what we're doing. We're not used to the coach coming up with the shades on.
We're not used to a coach asking for theme music. We're not used to a coach having so many celebrities around.
Like that's just, that goes against the old guard, man. And that's the reason people don't like it.
Because think about what college football is built on. Tradition, passion, the Grove, Tiger Stadium, you know, like all these things that college football is built on.
Dion is making things new. OK, so Saturdays are different now.
OK, Saturdays, Saturdays start different. Like Saturdays, Saturdays now, hey, they start early in the morning with Big Cat teasing America with his donuts.
And then they move to Lee Corso putting on a head. What's coming? Well, I'm just saying.
I was wondering what was saying, it starts with you with the donuts. It starts with you with the donuts and you teasing America every week.
Like, hey, hey, America, let's have a day. And America knows that you're trying to be healthy, but you can tease in America.
And then we move to Corso. Corso puts the hat on and he goes he goes a crazy.
And then at that point, away we go. So that's how my Saturdays always go.
And people always come to me like, hey, are you going to get your boy under control? I'm like, listen, he's a grown man. He's a father of three.
I try to do everything I can, but there's really nothing else I can do. And so that's what Saturdays have become, and Dion is just a part of that.
Yeah, it's a tradition unlike any other. I love when Ralphie comes running out too.
That's one of my favorite traditions in sports, when they just turn the buffalo loose on the field. And they're like, okay, just go run around for a while.
Hopefully nobody gets hurt this time. Did you know Ralphie was a female? Yes, yes, because a male, you couldn't control a male in that set.
Ralphie's a girl boss. Yeah.
I didn't know that until like, like a couple of weeks ago when we had so much, so much content on Dion, we were discussing the, the gender of the Buffalo. Yeah, no, she's, she's definitely a girl.
Dion's going to have her coming out and like Uggs at some point this year. Uggs with like a big chain on running around the field.
And I love Dion. He does get people talking about college football.
And then when coaches clap back at him, then that's fair game too. And it's good for everybody, I think.
Also, let me ask you this. Did you have a problem with what the Oregon coach said? Because I thought it was, first of all, I didn't have a problem with it.
Second of all, I thought it was great content that Oregon put out the pregame speech. No problem whatsoever.
He was doing his job as a head coach. You think he's going to fire his guys up in the locker room by being like, hey, guys, we all need to respect Deion Sanders and the program that he's building in Colorado.
So let's go out there and we'll do our best. But I really hope for the sake of college football that Colorado is able to compete today.
No, fuck no. You're going to talk shit about your opponent.
That's what you do. And on top of that, I love that Dan Lanning afterwards said, hey, thanks.
Thank you, Colorado. Like people are talking about Oregon because of what Deion Sanders is doing.
It's like a prize fight. You know, when there's one guy who's pushing the pay-per-views more than the other and the other guy wins, he's like, I got to, you know,, I'm not the pay-per-view guy, but now we've got eyeballs watching our team and respecting our team.
It's a symbiotic relationship that Deion's good for college football. Yeah, I completely agree.
But I'm not going to let you get off that easy. Since we did mention the donuts, I always ask you this every time I'm on.
How much weight have we lost since the last time I was on? Okay, so I actually have lost a little weight. PFT can attest this.
I'm trying to just eat a little bit less. So I am down to 243 ish in the morning, walking around weight a little bit higher, but that's about 7 pounds.
So I'm on the road. I'm on the road.
I'm doing okay. He is doing better, but you know, you know, things aren't in a good place when you answer the question by saying how much you weigh in the morning.
Yeah. Well, I mean, listen, everyone knows this hack.
Listen, I know what my walking around weight is, but I know that when I get on the scale, before I take a piss, before I drink water, I'm getting on the scale, taking off my shirt, taking off my watch, get as light as possible. That's my weight.
Yeah, that's it. And first of all, it's not your true weight if you don't get naked.
Like I've never weighed at home with clothes on. Like I literally go in the bathroom.
I have a scale in the bathroom. And the first thing I do, and I don't weigh myself every day.
I'm not at that point, but like probably twice a week, I'll go in the bathroom. I want to take a dump first.
That's number one. And as soon as I finish that, I take, I continue because I don't have my clothes on.
I take the dump naked. I jump on the scale and I, and I weigh myself and that is your true weight.
So what happens the rest of the day doesn't really count. Once you drink water, it doesn't count.
Doesn't count.. I do do the trick sometimes where I'll weigh myself at night with my clothes on, my phone in my pocket, maybe even put a dumbbell in my hand and be like, oh, well, that's probably like 20 extra pounds.
I'm fine. So I do that trick sometimes, every now and then.
You've got to get rid of all your fluids before you weigh in. Yes.
Just leaking out of every orifice. Well, two things.
Number one, I'm somewhat proud of you that you've lost some weight. Thank you.
Thank you. Hopefully, hopefully you continue now that you're a father of three, man.
Just think about it. By the time your kids get to be teenagers, you want to be able to walk around and run around and catch the football and shoot some basketball with them.

So make sure that you keep that weight below 275.

That's number one.

And number two, I mean, I keep hearing about this Stella Blue Coffee, and I haven't had any.

I'm a coffee guy.

I'm going to send you some.

You said, please send me some.

And I'm a coffee drinker. All right.
You're going to text me your address. I'm, please send me something.
And I'm a coffee drinker.

Alright. You're going to

text me your address and I'm going to send you something.

Right now.

Because I don't drink

Starbucks and so

I am a coffee guy.

And most people, like the coffee that's closest to my

house is Dunkin' Donuts and

it's convenient so I'll grab it.

But I want to try some of this Stella Blue

coffee, man, because your friend have the utmost respect for what you've done with that brand and what you guys do and i want to support you man i think big cat froze out yeah i'll answer for big cat he's going to send you some coffee do you like do you like flavor do you like pumpkin spice you like apple crisp or do you want just the straight stuff big i want straight coffee like i don't need french vanilla like my wife drinks all that she's like hey give me a coffee four shots of french vanilla some caramel or some syrup on top i'm like this is not coffee anymore this is dessert booger so you're you're a workout maniac you're banging waters all the time you look like you're in good shape right now i'm always i'm always looking at you i like, damn, Booger, he looks more spelt. He looks more streamlined, aerodynamic than he did the last time.
What's your diet like? What is Booger? Do you have a cheat day where you go nuts? Yeah. So I'll give you my entire week.
It's really simple. I don't eat breakfast in the morning.
I drink, and it's kind of, I know you guys laugh at banging the waters. So the reason that I'm able to kind of get away with it is because I drink all my fluids first thing in the morning.
And so I'm drinking seven, eight bottles of water. Like right now, I got some watermelon juice I'm drinking.
I try to drink all my fluids before like one or two o'clock. And I usually eat my first meal every day between two and three.
And it's usually like protein and vegetables, whatever. And then whatever my wife cooks or whatever we get for dinner, I eat that like at 730 or 8, I'll eat that.
My biggest issue is always late at night. And so I have to have something to snack on, you know, if I'm up at like 10 or 11.
And usually that's cashews or like some grapes. And I do that, man.
When I'm at home, I do it every day. Now, when I go on a road, ESPN, it gets a little difficult, but I usually have a salad on Saturdays and my cheat day or my cheat meal is Saturday night.
After I get done with Big Cats, Donuts, Corso, Dion, I get done with all that. Saturday night, I have a double cheeseburger wrap with bacon sweet potato fries and a side of calamari that's what I eat usually Saturday night at 10 o'clock my power went out my power went out it looks like your internet froze don't blame the power no my power your bills the whole room pay exactly pay your bills all right I have one last question because my power went out it's a robot questionack question.

And it's going to be an amazing thing to see Debo and Trent Williams walk out next to the dude with the big boom box at the Super Bowl.

That's going to be the most amazing show.

Probably be a little bit better than Usher at halftime.

By the way, tell me first thought when you heard Usher at halftime,

first thought.

It should have been Miley Cyrus.

Taylor Swift not big enough to be the Super Bowl halftime performer well she turned it down that's number one no no no not big enough I heard good girl turned her down really yeah yes she's not big enough yet not okay not big enough yet okay all right uh Miley Cyrus Now, you know, Usher, I'm I just when I first heard it I wasn't like wow here we go right Usher isn't football some some musical artists are football and Usher is just he's too smooth he's too like his songs they don't they don't fire me up to watch more football and M Miley Cyrus does. Oh yeah.
Oh yeah.

Miley,

Miley fires me up for a lot of stuff.

Booger.

You seen her in that leather suit?

As an like artistically, I'm not talking sexually or anything weird or creepy.

I'm very normal.

But in terms of like her music,

she's got bangers.

Yeah.

Okay.

No,

I haven't,

I haven't seen that nor have I listened to much of her music,

so I can't confirm or deny that. My friend, you would enjoy Miley.
Just give her a shot. I will at some point.
Hopefully before I leave this earth, I will. Yeah.
All right. Well, Bug, thank you.
Sorry my power went out. Hey, man, it's all good.
Always enjoy being on with you guys, man. Continue doing what you're doing.
I'll shoot you that address. And because of that, I've also heard your commercial with the rollback.
I'm going to buy a couple of rollback T-shirts also. If they can make you feel comfortable, they must be good.
Yes. They're really good.
I'm wearing it right now. Got the T-shirt on right now.
There we go. Yep.
This is a rollback right here too. It's the only collared shirt I wear.
Yeah. I'm glad you have a shirt on with sleeves today that's first that's number one i didn't want to show you up thank you you're the best all good man y'all have a good one fellas booger was brought to you by the league it's one of our favorite sponsors it's the league they're a dating app who has just launched a new feature for gold diggers to find each other.
Wait, I had that read twice. It's actually

gold diggers. G-O-A-L, like field goal, not gold diggers.
I got it. It's a play on words.

So it's an app for people who dig goals and want to go for the extra point together. Goals are

important when you're searching for your partner this season. My goal, of course, is watching the

Washington Commanders beat the Philadelphia Eagles and then falling completely back in love with them

in the league. They were both the league customers and they met online.
Isn't that a fun story? It's probably true. If your goal is to find your other half this season, the league has a 60-40 girl-to-guy ratio.
Pretty good ratio. So the straight guys are looking at much better odds here compared to the mainstream apps where you're lucky if there's 30% women.
High odds and high achievers equals a high-quality experience. Download the league now.

We have Fyre Fest of the Week. Henry, go for it.
Yeah, my Fyre Fest, this is kind of not, I mean, it's a little ongoing. It's happened a couple of times, but the parking situation at our office is one of the biggest rackets in modern American history.
It is. It is.
You have to pay so much to park on the street. Sometimes the app doesn't work.
There's no max amount of parking, so you can only park for two hours. And the other day, I set alarms.
I'm like, all right, park, set an alarm for two hours because then you just have to re-up, basically. So you end up paying like $30 a day just to park, which is nuts.
But when you start, it's $5. You're like, oh, then yeah you kind of forget and the other day my alarm went off i think we were recording something uh so i snoozed it it went off 20 minutes later i remembered went to go pay it paid it and then went out and saw i got a ticket so i got a ticket in like a in a 20 minute window yeah they're good about it which is insane i've racked up about 300 worth of parking tickets Someone told me that whoever built it or the city or whoever it is.
Yeah, they're good about it. Which is insane.
I've racked up about $300 worth of parking tickets. Someone told me that whoever built it or the city or whoever it is sold it to someone to Saudi.
That person got their money back within three years. Everything they make is just profit.
All time boondoggle. It's nuts.
My problem is I always remember to set an alarm the first time. It's when I re up.

I never set the second.

Right.

So yeah.

Three more weeks.

Three more weeks.

We're in our new office.

We have parking.

It's going to be great.

Three more weeks.

Three more weeks.

Yeah, I've gotten banged like three times.

Yeah, they bang in your bed.

When they start putting the boot on, they start like immobilizing your car.

You got to get 10 to not pay.

Yeah.

Right.

Thank you. Yeah, they're banging you bad.
When do they start putting the boot on? They start immobilizing your car. You have to not pay.
Yeah, right? Yeah. It sucks how easy they make it to pay, too.
I don't think it matters how many tickets you get as long as you pay them. Yeah.
Yeah, true. That's facts.
Because you're basically just giving money to the economy. Yeah, speeding tickets are different.
Yeah. Okay, PFT.
I got a couple of Fyre Fest this week. One is I mentioned the El Camino a second ago.
I went to go look at an El Camino in person. I had every plan on driving an El Camino home on Tuesday.
I even I bought a tape adapter that I could hook up to my iPhone so I could listen to music on the stereo because it only has a cassette player. It was a 1980.
I went, I saw it. And the salesperson showed me around.

The car was beautiful. He was like, well, the AC doesn't work and the radio doesn't work.
And I was like, what about the heat? And he's like, what do you need to know about the heat for? It's not like you're going to be driving this thing in the wintertime when it's snowing out. And I was like, yeah, you're right.
Who in their right mind would do that? I was planning on this being my car, my car car.

And this is the all time BFD. And I was ready to drop a lot of money on an El Camino and drive it home.
And that one little comment from him, I was like, am I really that stupid? Like, is this that dumb of an idea to have? Because I read it online. You totally, like, whenever we make comments, you don't even take them in.
Because we had this exact conversation. No, but when it's the salesperson.
Hank was there. I was like, I don't think that's going to be good for the winter.
I think I said this on the show. We're not getting an El Camino.
Yeah, we don't register. When it's the salesperson who's earning a commission off the sale being like, hey, you shouldn't buy this car, man.
Please don't buy this car. At that point, it becomes real to me.
I was like, what if you put a couple sandbags in the back, like in the trunk? Doesn't that give a good traction? I actually take that as a compliment. It's true friendship to not listen to your friends, to only listen to strangers.
Well, because that is like a true thing where it's like, oh, they don't fucking know. And then you get one person.
You're like, oh, shit. When the stranger said it, I immediately flashed back to everybody who told me it was a bad idea.
And I was like, wait, maybe I'm not the smart one in this situation. Maybe everybody else that said the same thing is right.
So unfortunately, I don't. I think the dream.
Well, no, the dream is still alive. He dead.
No, it's when you get when you get to a point where you want of driving around summer car. Yeah.
A weekend, a weekend driver. Yeah.
And where am I going to park it on the street? Hey, just get some. Just pay the tickets.
Yeah. That seems like it's going to be that's going to add up real quick but it was so bitching the car was so bitching no you know what you could do is you could get what what now i don't know get an el camino cars.com pft get an el camino you you i'm sure that you can find someone who will rent out a parking spot or like a garage spot maybe in the suburbs and then you just have that be your summer car.
That's my summer car. I'll consider it.
I'll consider it. Okay.
The dream's not dead. You should get a punch buggy.
Why is that? I don't know. I feel it would fit your vibe.
Like an old punch buggy? Just anyone. The new ones.
Those are. Remember when the new ones made that like they were hot for a minute.
No disrespect, and this is not intended to be misogynist or misogynic. Yeah.
I think those are chick cars. Yeah, no, they're definitely chick cars.
The new ones are chick cars, right? They're chick cars. I don't think I can get a punch.
But I am now... I'm willing to hear suggestions.
It's those in the... Like the Jetta.
Yeah, the Jetta. Jetta's a chick car.
That was my first car. Yeah, it's a chick car.
Exactly, what did I say? It's a chick Jake car. Yeah.
So my garage is just barely not long enough to fit a Silverado, because I was going to get a Silverado. But I rented one when I first got here, and I parked it in the garage, and it came down just on the bumper.
I couldn't get it any further. So unfortunately, I don't think I can drive a Silverado either.
So now, like the world is my oyster. I can get any car that I want right now.
But I will be thinking the entire time I should get a Silverado. Should I get a Hummer? It would be cool if you got an old school wood panel.
What are those cars called? Were the seats in the back that look backwards? Station wagon? Station wagon. Get a station wagon.
That would just make me so sick as a kid. I saw it in the backseat.
There was an old Jeep Wagoneer that I had my eyes on too. Like the new Wagoneers are sick, but there was one that I saw that was like 1980 and it was just all wood grain, everything.
And I was like, what's the mileage on this thing? He's like, if you're asking, it's definitely gonna be a problem for you. Yeah.
Like you get this car if you don't give a shit about gas. Yeah.
It's probably like 10, maybe 9. But yeah, so that's one Fyre Fest.
I don't think I'm going to get an El Camino. And I myself all worked up for this El Camino.
It's what I've wanted since I was 13. But unfortunately, maybe I'll have to wait until next summer to get it.
And then my other Fyre Fest is another weekend of travel here. Pup Punk is going to be playing at the Ocean's Calling Music Festival.
Oh, that's this weekend? It's this weekend, which is sold out. So it's not really a plug, but it's just mostly I'm flying in on Friday.
We're going on stage first. First thing on Saturday.
It's the point where if you look at the flyer and the lineup of bands, Pup Punk is like the smallest font possibly imagined because we're going first, as we should be. When you look at the other people that are playing there, like I incubus and john mayer are closing out the day it's a good lineup but the fire fest is to get back here for sunday morning i'm gonna have to fly out immediately after so i'm not gonna even get to stick around and watch the concert just like one and done which kind of sucks but you can't get a flight on sunday morning no because it's it so Ocean City is so far away from everything else.
It's like two hours to Philly, two hours to D.C. There's like some small regional airports that don't have a lot of flights out.
So I'm going to have to leave like right after. But it's still going to be a good time.
I forgot that was this weekend because I am starting to lose my mind. We just did a great interview with Sam Morrell.
He's a very funny comedian. And I was like, why are we doing this on a Thursday when he doesn't have a show till saturday now it's all making sense yep because i'm heading out tomorrow my problem is i've i spent all of august being like late september october's never gonna get here yeah and we're here yeah we're very much here and like surviving barstool in a week and a half it is in our face yeah it's been a lot of travel a lot of travel but it's fun's fun.
It's all fun. I'm going to go to Ocean City.

They have a tremendous lighthouse, by the way.

Oh, take pictures, please.

I'll take many pictures.

All right, my Fyre Fest is pretty simple.

The Cubs have had just an epic collapse.

Don't shake your fucking head.

Well, I was going to bring it up.

Don't shake your fucking head.

I started saying the Cubs collapsed, and Max just started going like this.

Well, it did collapse. I was waiting for it all episode, because people are going to want to hear you talk about it.
They're not that good. But that play.
That play was very, very bad. It made me – I haven't had a reaction like that in a long time.
If you missed it, the Cubs are fighting for a wild card spot. They were up one game on the Marlins as of Tuesday.

And with, I think it was like maybe one out or something,

Suzuki just missed a ball.

It went right by him.

Easy catch.

Maybe lost in the lights.

I asked Matt Olson, recurring guest, to please stop playing well.

And he didn't listen.

He did not listen.

The Braves are a fucking wagon. So the Cubs are, yeah, they're they're most likely not gonna make the playoffs they don't have any tiebreakers and uh it's even last night they wednesday night it was just extra innings bullshit they just don't have a bullpen anymore and it sucks you can't do anything about acuna once he gets on base everybody knew he's gonna steal and i'm gonna i'm gonna back up up Boog and JD, the Cubs announcers, because they stopped the game for Acuna because I think, what do you have? 70.
70 and 30? 40, 70. It's 40, 70.
I get it. That's a pretty great thing.
The Cubs are trying to make the playoffs. It was extra innings.
They're basically holding on for dear life. Like, let's keep playing the game.
So, yeah, it sucks. It sucks.
There's nothing worse than a September collapse. Did you see Acuna holding that giant base over his head, though? Yeah.
That looked awesome. That was cool.
He's so fucking good. But, yeah, the Cubs are depressing right now.
And maybe we'll get lucky. Maybe they'll win tonight and the Marlins will lose.
But, yeah, the way that they're losing the tragic fashion is just special. It's very Cubs.
It's Brant Brown 2.0. I mean, it was bad.
It was bad. Max, do you want the Cubs? Do you want to play against the Cubs? Well, it's no longer possible.
Yeah, no. Because the Diamondbacks are firmly in the fifth.
Yeah, I think they're like three games up. I think the Diamondbacks just have to win one out of their next four to clinch the...
Well, D-backs are one and a half up on the Marlins and Cubs. Yeah, I know, but it's pretty hard.
It's tiebreaker. Yeah, that's super...
They don't do game 163 anymore. I know.
You have four games left? We have four games left. So you have the Braves and the Brewers, right? The Brewers.
We're tied with the Marlins for records right now, but they have the tiebreaker. So, you know, if the Cubs win four in a row, then yeah, they probably could be're not, they're not dead at all.
They're not dead. No, but yesterday was tough because you, you had this Suzuki error happen.
And then the Marlins lost game one against the Mets in a double header. So you're like, Oh, cool.
Not, you know, blank page. And then they just lost an extra inning.
I understand from the Cubs announcers perspective. It's like, you're fighting for something and the Braves are just doing cool shit.
That doesn't really matter. And they've clinched like two months ago.
They've been doing like a high step celebration during actual games. I just wanted to watch.
I wanted an extra week of baseball. It would have been fun.
It would have been fun to see the Cubs. They're not that good.
That's the problem. They're not dead.
You keep saying I would have. Believe.
They're tied. They just have to win one game and the Marlins have to to lose one game.
On Tuesday night? Wait, is that it? Is that really all they have to do? No, I'm just saying. Down the stretch.
Yeah, they need to pick up one game out of the next four games. It's not out of the question.
But they can't win right now. They're not able to win.
You've got to win. I mean, they're also playing the best team in baseball.
I understand. They were in a position to win both of those games.
Yeah, you're losing in extra innings against the Braves. They should have beat the Braves.
If Suzuki catches that ball, they're also playing the best team in baseball. I understand.
And by saying we're in a position to win both of those games, it didn't work out. Yeah, you're losing in extra innings against the Braves.
Like, they should have beat the Braves. If Suzuki catches that ball, they beat the Braves.
I don't like what you're doing, Max. I think you can do it.
Why? I sat in, like, just, like, shock for an hour, and then Max, because you know these days when we tape early? No, this was immediate. I texted.
No, no, but we tape early on Tuesdays. So, like, I don't know if this happens to you, PFT, but so much happens between when we're taping and then later on at night so I just forgot we had taped a show that day and Max texted me like as nice as possible asking for the synopsis while I was sitting there dead at my desk like just blank staring I jumped up like I'd seen a snake I was like ah when Suzuki dropped it I couldn it.
I couldn't believe it. So, yeah.
It's not been fun. It's not been fun.
And then if the Brewers beat the Cobbs and then the Brewers fan... Boo, boo, boo, boo, boo.
Are they Packers fans? Brewers fans? Yeah. And they're going to say shit.
Also Bucs fans. And they're Bucs fans.
And the Bulls were one of the last teams in the running for Dame, too. Man, that's tough.
Yeah, and the one team we share is the Badgers, and they suck. No, actually, Luke Fickle's building a monster.
I stand by that. We're going to beat Ohio State.
You hear that right now? We're going to beat Ohio State. Hank's Buckeyes? Halloween weekend, night game, Madison.
I don't know if it's a night game. We're going to beat Ohio State.
All right, Jake, finish us off. I just learned this about the Ryder Cup.
If if they tie the team that wins the previous rider cup wins the rider cup that's the famous thing ever yep so do we have the tiebreaker yeah okay so let's time that's crazy i didn't know that until just now let's tie the fuck 14 14 the team holding the rider cup retains it let's win that tie that's an interesting rule uh i don't understand the kevin james meme yeah The Kevin James meme kind of came out of nowhere. I Googled it, and I didn't get a clear answer.
I still don't get it. I'm trying to think where it came from.
Who's patient zero of the Kevin James meme? I think our guy Mikey Betts might have been one of the first ones. I don't get it.
He would say that. Yeah.
Do you guys get it? Were you part of it? Memes. Can you explain the Kevin James memes really quick? It's just very funny.
All right. And that's it.
Good job, memes. That's right.
Good job, memes. I don't get it.
That was a great job. It's just like groupthink.
Like everybody else is posting it. It's funny, so I got to post it.
I think I know what it is. It's like when you do something sneaky and you get caught doing it, but you're still not sorry that you got caught doing it.
Like you're happy that you did it. It's evolved.
It's evolved? Where are we at now? Now it's just every single Kevin James photo ever. There's like one of him as a cop.
Somebody said, I'm going to tell my kids this is Pete Alonzo. He's wearing a Mets jersey.
So it's just evolved now. When you give up 30 points to the Bears

and then it's the Sean Payton version of Kevin James,

we should put that one on file for this weekend, James.

That's going to be hot.

Also, I got Papa Died with Hank.

Oh, yeah.

We forgot Jake's birthday on Tuesday.

Happy birthday, Jake.

Happy birthday, Jake.

Thank you, guys.

Happy birthday, Jake.

The worst part of it.

That's on you.

That's on you.

No.

You sat in this room for three hours knowing it was your birthday and knowing that all

of us were together.

But what if I was like, hey, guys, it's my birthday.

Like, that's weird.

Hank did the same thing.

It's the same thing.

It's just like you don't want to bring it up.

Did anybody wish you a happy birthday on X.com?

I got some tweets.

What are you talking about?

We did.

Oh, yeah.

I'm saying like earlier in the day, you should have retweeted an X so that we would have seen it. Yeah, but that's just like, look at me.
Yeah. Yeah.
It's your birthday. Happy birthday, Jake.
Thank you, guys. 28.
Happy birthday. 28.
Yeah. What do you want to accomplish this year, Jake? I want to call more games.
Okay. Okay.
Love it. Or tournaments.
Love it. Or tournaments.
Yeah, for the record, I was the first one to say happy birthday. How old are you, Max? 28.
You could be 40. I thought you were 38.
Yeah, well, you're a fucking dick. How old are you, Memes? 28.
Whoa. I think Memes is a grade older than me, Max.
We got to find a nice, young, supple boy. Shane.
Shane, yeah. Shane's like 22 or 23.
I want to. Let's find it.
Let's get a teenager. Should we get a teenager? Charlie Woods.
Yeah, let's get a teenager. The amount of intern applications we're about to get.
What we should do is- I would be down to get a teenager. You know what we should do, Big Cat? We should get like a 17 or 18 year old who's good at football.
Yeah. And then have him join the show.
No, that would ruin his life. I know.
We should get a teenager. Let's get a teenager.
Memes, find us a teenager. It's so funny how quickly we forget things.
Yeah. Oh, you know what would be fun? Get us a teenager.
All right. Numbers.
Three. 69.
Memes, you ever gotten it? 18. One.
Also, our next show will officially have the results of Dingers Only. Regular season will be over.
We have a two-man race between Memes and Evident Shane.

There was one point separating them before today.

Oh, wow.

Okay.

So what happens if they come in second?

They have to catch.

Both of them simultaneously?

Yeah.

Two catchers.

Oh, I like that.

So if we tie, it goes to the strikeout rule.

Oh, that's right.

I forgot about the strikeout rule.

We drafted a pitcher.

Whoever has more strikeouts would go into second. And right now, who forgot about the strikeout rule.
We drafted a pitcher. Whoever has more strikeouts would go into second.

And right now, who is winning the strikeout rule?

It's me.

Oh.

Like a lot.

Oh.

Okay.

I've already ordered my spider tack.

I'm ready to go, baby.

34.

20.

Memes, what was your guess?

45.

45. All right.
