Speaker 1 Hey, Pardon My Take listeners.

Speaker 2 You can find every episode on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or YouTube.

Speaker 7 Prime members can listen ad-free on Amazon Music.

Speaker 9 So, y'all know that we're big fans of Cracker Barrel. And this holiday season, I will be sat at their table with a big plate of country-fried turkey.

Speaker 12 And, Brandon, I'll be right there with you, and I'll check it off my Christmas list in the country store while I'm at it. It'll make a nice holiday tradition.

Speaker 13 Oh, that's so cute of you.

Speaker 12 Enjoy all the more holiday traditions only at Cracker Barrel.

Speaker 14 On today's Pardon my take, we have a twofer for the people.

Speaker 16 We have Pete Prisco previewing the NFL season.

Speaker 19 He's got the hottest takes, the hottest takes.

Speaker 7 Always have fun with Pete Prisco.

Speaker 17 And then we have Jets running back, Dalvin Cook.

Speaker 16 Great interview.

Speaker 21 Getting ready for NFL football tomorrow. We also

Speaker 16 are going to do Hot Seat Cool Throne, The Return of Jim Bows, and a bonus at the end of the show, we do our Pancake Fantasy Draft where we're drafting offensive linemen, pancakes only.

Speaker 24 It was somehow worse than the Dingers-only draft.

Speaker 4 So we put it at the very end.

Speaker 31 It's almost like a bonus thing.

Speaker 19 It's like you can't complain about it because it's free content. Right, exactly.

Speaker 16 It's at the very end.

Speaker 31 It's after the first I love you guys.

Speaker 37 So it's like, it's you, you, if you complain about it, you're a pervert.

Speaker 19 If you're one of those guys that likes to hear us sit around and just say names for about 30 minutes non-stop, then you're going to fucking love.

Speaker 13 We got a draft for you.

Speaker 19 You're going to love the pancake draft.

Speaker 38 Yes.

Speaker 40 When cool, creamy ranch meets tangy, bold buffalo, the whole is greater than the sum of its sauce. Say howdy, partner, to new Buffalo Ranch sauce, only at McDonald's for a limited time.

Speaker 19 At participating, McDonald's.

Speaker 41 Okay, let's go.

Speaker 41 No place to hang out on the washing.

Speaker 41 And then I can't name all of the songs. Oh, no, we're gonna rock it down to Elaine Trick Ivenue.

Speaker 41 And then we'll take it higher.

Speaker 41 Oh, we're gonna rock it down to Elan Trick IV.

Speaker 15 It's part of my take.

Speaker 42 It isn't about Marshall Sports.

Speaker 24 Welcome to part of my take.

Speaker 17 Today is Wednesday, September 6th, and PFT, they are testing us.

Speaker 19 On what?

Speaker 35 They are testing us with the Kansas City Chiefs.

Speaker 17 First, Chris Jones sits out, is maybe not going to play week one.

Speaker 34 Now, Travis Kelsey, unfortunately, has a hyperextension in his knee.

Speaker 35 ACL intact.

Speaker 19 Wait, has Adam Schefter said anything about his knee about to explode?

Speaker 31 No, he is not.

Speaker 16 That's Albert Breer.

Speaker 29 It's going to explode.

Speaker 4 Juju Smith-Schuster.

Speaker 44 But they're testing us, PFT.

Speaker 31 Travis Kelsey might not play on Thursday night.

Speaker 30 The Chiefs are testing us.

Speaker 16 They're basically at the buzzer.

Speaker 45 We spent all summer saying, just don't overthink it.

Speaker 31 The Chiefs are going to win the West.

Speaker 46 And at the buzzer, they're giving us enough things to be like, well, maybe they won't win the West.

Speaker 48 We can't fall for it.

Speaker 49 0-17.

Speaker 50 We can't fall for it.

Speaker 33 0-17.

Speaker 19 Listen, Chris Jones is the one that wanted the hyper-extension. Yeah,

Speaker 19 that's what he's been going for. Kelsey, unfortunately, we've been talking about the Chiefs, and you'll hear our interview with Pete Prisco in a second.

Speaker 19 And he basically says he could throw to to any of us three. Yes.
And Patrick Mowens would be a great quarterback. They don't have proven wide receivers this year.

Speaker 19 They were just going to be like, okay, we'll do Travis Kelsey and then we'll make it work on the outside. But without Travis Kelsey,

Speaker 50 I'm going lines, money, line.

Speaker 11 I am too money line.

Speaker 53 So I already was doing that, but I'm saying, like, for season long, the Chiefs are basically right at the buzzer saying, hey, let's invite all the doubters.

Speaker 53 Let's have this doubt creep in so that we can have that rat poison in the locker room.

Speaker 19 Was Billy right about Travis Kelsey?

Speaker 31 Run soft. Maybe.

Speaker 11 I don't know. Yeah, I don't know.

Speaker 31 We got to see the tape.

Speaker 53 How did that hurt?

Speaker 50 I got to find out how it happened.

Speaker 56 What? Trust the reminders.

Speaker 57 No, no, but Jake.

Speaker 58 Yeah, you're right. But Jake, guess what?

Speaker 59 Jake, Jake, shut the fuck up.

Speaker 19 You also said, don't trust the reminders.

Speaker 60 Yes. You said for week one.

Speaker 33 Don't trust the reminders.

Speaker 56 Yeah, but Chiefs to win the West is not a week one reminder.

Speaker 61 I don't know what to do.

Speaker 33 Trust the reminders. I don't know what to do.

Speaker 26 Hank, tell us what to do.

Speaker 58 Lions, money lines.

Speaker 62 No, well, I know.

Speaker 22 No, no, no, no. That's already been decided.

Speaker 17 That's been decided months ago.

Speaker 16 I was like, I love, this is going to be a coming out party.

Speaker 60 You tell you guys what past you wanted me to tell you, current you.

Speaker 25 No, we're all betting the lions on Thursday, which is a terrible, terrible thing for the lions.

Speaker 19 All due respect, past me was a shithead. Yeah.

Speaker 33 He's an idiot.

Speaker 19 You know how dumb I used to be?

Speaker 10 He's a moron.

Speaker 53 He's a fat fucking bitch.

Speaker 19 That's what Past Me is.

Speaker 25 New me is smart, chiseled, diligent.

Speaker 16 Give me another adjective.

Speaker 19 Steadfast. Steadfast.

Speaker 65 Steadfast with his approach.

Speaker 19 I'm not sure what steadfast means.

Speaker 56 I am telling you guys what to do. I'm I'm just telling you.

Speaker 13 Steadfast

Speaker 31 wanted current you to do.

Speaker 41 Extra diligence.

Speaker 19 Yeah, but listen, I'm not going to get bossed around by past me.

Speaker 19 Current me is the alpha.

Speaker 25 Also, I'm not going to get bossed around by past me via Jake.

Speaker 9 Yeah, true.

Speaker 15 Like, that's the worst one.

Speaker 19 Wait, did I really did I really think? Did I really think that I was going to be able to boss Future Me around by being like, hey, Jake, remind Future Me that I wanted you to do this? No.

Speaker 4 But, teacher, you didn't assign homework.

Speaker 49 That's what you're doing to us, right?

Speaker 9 Throw it all out.

Speaker 47 That's the one thing that Jake actually gets offended by when you say that he was the teacher because i hated those people you guys think i'm one of them i mean you were

Speaker 19 were you teacher you forgot to collect homework

Speaker 2 no were you teacher here's an apple i love you no were you call your teacher your mom who

Speaker 19 was that you actually oh everyone accidentally did that are you kidding me i've never done that really everyone accidentally did that at some point were you teacher i was the only one that did the assignment in my group project

Speaker 71 no

Speaker 19 there was a little bit of a delay on that one

Speaker 49 No, because hesitation.

Speaker 19 Well, because, Jake, I remember the PowerPoint that you put together. You and Memes, but Memes name was not on.

Speaker 56 That's past me, as you mentioned. Idiot.

Speaker 19 Yeah, idiot, moron.

Speaker 33 So, yeah.

Speaker 31 Either way, we can't fall for it.

Speaker 22 The Chiefs are going to win the West.

Speaker 19 I think I'm going to fall for it a little bit.

Speaker 72 Okay.

Speaker 73 Well, we're going to fall for it on Thursday night.

Speaker 19 So here's one thing that I will trust Past Me on. Do not believe the Seawards.
Do not believe their lies. Right.
I am not going.

Speaker 19 If I'm going to move off the Chiefs, I'm not going to the team in Los Angeles. I'm not going to do that.

Speaker 13 There was a report today.

Speaker 19 So what's my other option?

Speaker 13 Am I going to go with the Broncos?

Speaker 16 There was a report today that Sean Payton said

Speaker 16 told Russell Wilson to stop with this Russell Inc.

Speaker 75 bullshit.

Speaker 19 He said, will you fucking stop kissing all the babies? You're not running for office. That might be an Epstein Island thing.
It sounds like something Bill Clinton used to do.

Speaker 16 He should be standing with his dogs in the woods singing a song.

Speaker 19 Would you rather be on the airplane that had the shit all over it or on the airplane going across the Atlantic with Russell Wilson doing high knees?

Speaker 34 Definitely the shit. We saw the shit, by the way.

Speaker 4 It was exactly what I thought everywhere.

Speaker 43 It was literally everywhere.

Speaker 41 It was like when people were like, How could this be a biohazard?

Speaker 53 You had to know that it was diarrhea up and down the aisles.

Speaker 31 Again, I believe this gentleman was probably, I hope it was a gentleman.

Speaker 25 Just the doctor is the mother.

Speaker 63 I don't know. That's what that was.

Speaker 57 Are you doing that to me?

Speaker 68 I feel like it was a guy, it would have come out as a guy.

Speaker 19 Women don't poop. That's the thing.
So it happens.

Speaker 63 But they do diarrhea.

Speaker 72 Yeah. They do.

Speaker 24 Let's.

Speaker 80 It was a guy.

Speaker 17 It was definitely. We think.

Speaker 2 This is our misogyny showing.

Speaker 16 I love maybe the next Barstool hit piece.

Speaker 2 They're like, they're misogynists.

Speaker 82 They didn't even think women could be the diarrhea biohazard person.

Speaker 19 It's 2023, okay? A bitch can clear out a plane.

Speaker 49 Yes.

Speaker 81 So whoever this was.

Speaker 25 I think they were wearing shorts and maybe not underwear.

Speaker 58 That's how it happened.

Speaker 19 It looks like, judging by the splatter pattern, if we're putting on like our Dexter hats here, you ever seen that show, Hank? Dexter?

Speaker 81 Well, you don't want to do the splatter pattern here?

Speaker 19 He judges the blood pattern and can tell you exactly how the murder went down.

Speaker 19 I was analyzing it through Dexter's eyes, and it looks like somebody got up out of their seat and then pooped and then ran down the aisle while pooping with shorts on with shorts on.

Speaker 19 But I think it was I think it was a sprint. And it reminds me of that old George Carlin thing.
There's certain things you will never see in your life. That's a grown man running while taking a shit.

Speaker 19 I think on that plane, there was somebody sprinting down the aisle. And as their ass was going back and forth, back and forth, running, it was shooting left, right, like a sprinkler.

Speaker 16 Right. And I also analyzed this, watched the video many times.
I think if we had to make a composite of the person, it is a gentleman, I would say about 230 to 50 pounds, 5'8-ish,

Speaker 63 wearing very loose-fitting cargo khakis.

Speaker 6 You know, the loose ones, and he's got,

Speaker 6 if he's wearing underwear, he's wearing the old school boxers, the gas boxers.

Speaker 19 You're almost describing Pete Prisco now. A little bit.

Speaker 53 But Pete's not as heavy.

Speaker 19 He's also not 5'8 ⁇ .

Speaker 31 Yeah, he's definitely not 5'8. But I'm saying like there's enough movement in the shorts where it's the old school boxers that don't, not boxer briefs, that the splatter is allowed to go everywhere.

Speaker 10 I like a Jackson Pollock

Speaker 19 aisle. I was with you until you said the cargo shorts.
I think that that material is too, it's too firm. Well, I would say like athletic shorts, old school gym shorts.

Speaker 31 You got to remember, this is a person going from Atlanta to Barcelona.

Speaker 25 Probably the cargo shorts to keep the passports, the kids' stuff.

Speaker 16 Like, he's probably, he's wearing maybe a fisherman's vest, like one of those dads.

Speaker 19 It was coming from Atlanta, though, right? Yeah. So it might have been jean shorts.
We might be working in jorts here.

Speaker 26 Although those also could be a little bit tighter to the...

Speaker 51 Yeah.

Speaker 68 It could have been a girl in short shorts.

Speaker 19 No. Oh, no.

Speaker 85 What if it was a girl in like juicy booty pants?

Speaker 68 That would have wrecked. I haven't ruled out the pilots either.

Speaker 72 Oh,

Speaker 47 just because of

Speaker 68 length, like, how did it get...

Speaker 68 It did somehow cover the whole point.

Speaker 29 What about a stewardess?

Speaker 68 The only way for it to to cover the whole point is if it started at the top are you not allowed to say stewardess uh you can say whatever i think it's steward stewardess it's a

Speaker 19 flight attendant oh an fa yeah what about an fa you can say you can say whatever it could have been it could have been an inside job that would make a lot of sense wouldn't it

Speaker 19 not enough details have come out where it makes me suspicious of a lot of things are we sure it wasn't a dog oh this is also dog behavior emotional support but one of the fake emotional support animals that people just bring on a plane they get a certificate online they're like oh yeah this is my dog i need him to fly.

Speaker 29 It could be the dog because, like, the dog starts, does the squat, and then you're like, Go, run, run, and then just starts pooping everywhere.

Speaker 19 Dogs poop and run all the time. Yeah, this is the number one sports podcast in America.

Speaker 33 Yeah, we're breaking it down.

Speaker 7 I mean, it was the number one story.

Speaker 33 Yeah, it is the last 24 hours.

Speaker 19 I think that's sports. That counts as I'll tell you what, this is a bad omen for the Jets.

Speaker 19 I don't think it could start off any worse.

Speaker 5 Uh-oh.

Speaker 92 And the Browns.

Speaker 20 And the Browns both. Yeah.
Both of them.

Speaker 29 Bad. Fade both of them.

Speaker 47 Yep.

Speaker 93 It's a bad combo memes.

Speaker 7 You You should be worried now.

Speaker 95 Oh, hard knocks.

Speaker 19 Yeah, hard knocks is over.

Speaker 75 We watched it. We totally watched it.

Speaker 61 Yeah, hard knocks.

Speaker 19 So I'm in the habit of watching hard knocks about two days late during the weeks.

Speaker 31 I haven't watched it after episode two, I have to admit.

Speaker 19 It's not bad, it just makes you fall in love with Garrett Wilson. And you're going to get more rosy-colored glasses with the Jets because it does make you think that they can do something.

Speaker 19 I still go back to the fact that the offensive line doesn't look great, and it is hard to switch to a new team, new system. It doesn't always work out.
Do you know what it is?

Speaker 19 It's a hard game, big cat. The other guys, they get paid money to play football too.

Speaker 1 You know what it is for me?

Speaker 16 Is I'm obviously, you know, all in on Aaron Rodgers, never said a bad thing about him, might be a bit, whatever.

Speaker 16 Watching it, it's like I'm getting poisoned by the bit.

Speaker 95 So like if I have to watch more Aaron Rodgers and be like, oh, he's the best, I'm going to start, like my body's going to start rejecting it.

Speaker 19 You're at the stage where you're like, you know what? I really, really like smoking weed, but I need to stop because I like it so much. Right.
And I'm just going to forget about everything else.

Speaker 19 And my entire life is going to be based around weed.

Speaker 2 Yeah, like my brain is like, oh, this is funny to just reverse and troll Packers fans.

Speaker 95 And my whole body and everything that it's learned is like, you can't like this guy.

Speaker 86 So I have to keep my distance so that I can keep enough distance to be like, oh, yeah, I love Aaron Rodgers.

Speaker 2 He's the best.

Speaker 45 If I watch him, I'm going to be like, wait, I fucking hate this guy.

Speaker 29 Yeah, I remember. I remember everything that I hated.

Speaker 81 Every flashback will start hitting me.

Speaker 19 Yeah, it's,

Speaker 19 I'm very excited for this football season.

Speaker 97 I don't remember the last time that I've been this excited.

Speaker 33 No way.

Speaker 15 I'm super excited.

Speaker 19 I want to wrap my entire body up in saran wrap and bubble wrap and just make sure I make it through the next day and a half.

Speaker 99 I think we're all at like every football season at this exact moment.

Speaker 29 I'm at 100 out of 100.

Speaker 95 It's every single year.

Speaker 15 I'm 500 out of 100.

Speaker 31 I don't think I've ever been more or less excited than I am every single year.

Speaker 19 I'm infinity out of 100.

Speaker 19 Not only are these cool new teams, cool new storylines, but also for the first time in 25 years, I actually actually get to be happy and proud of my own team that I get to root for.

Speaker 9 It's true.

Speaker 19 The NFL fucking rocks.

Speaker 49 Yeah, it's the best.

Speaker 19 It is the best.

Speaker 55 It is the best.

Speaker 19 There was a story that just came out an hour ago. Did you see this? About the Dolphins quarterback coach, Daryl Bevel?

Speaker 19 No. So he suffered a detached retina during training camp.
This is from Jory Epstein. After the surgery that he had, he needed to lie face down for 90% of seven straight days.

Speaker 19 So there's a picture that he sent to the team where he's just laying face down on his bed, watching film on his tablet that's on the ground.

Speaker 19 And he's just like hanging off the edge of his bed watching film. Mike McDaniel showed the team this picture.

Speaker 10 Why?

Speaker 19 A powerful message, he told Yahoo Sports.

Speaker 64 You need to

Speaker 100 go to the ends of every health, everything that a doctor ever tells you to just keep doing your job with football.

Speaker 19 Yeah, it looks like a milking table for your eyes. Yeah.
He's just staring down at the game, the all-22.

Speaker 83 They do that.

Speaker 16 It's very funny when you say that because if you just change the perspective a little bit, so he's a detached retina, still doing his job, being commended for doing his job.

Speaker 31 If you made this like a Twitter thread about a startup in San Francisco, there would be 10,000 Twitter handles with roses in their handle being like, this is toxic work culture.

Speaker 55 Well, there would also be. That's just football, baby.

Speaker 19 There definitely would be people being like, I can't believe that you make your employees do this. There would also be a bunch of guys with the NFT.eth

Speaker 19 being like,

Speaker 19 this is a fucking warrior right now.

Speaker 81 This is a grind set.

Speaker 31 This is a grind set.

Speaker 19 Never stop working. Never stop the commitment.

Speaker 98 But why don't we

Speaker 34 start having that debate?

Speaker 31 Because I would like to be on the side of the NFTs and be like, no, it's football.

Speaker 10 This is what we do.

Speaker 19 Well, also, if you look at it from a zoomed-out perspective, this guy's laying in bed watching football. Yeah.
Which rocks.

Speaker 33 It's our job.

Speaker 4 Yeah. We just go couch.

Speaker 49 This is the best.

Speaker 19 Like, I should be so lucky.

Speaker 19 Most, I'd say 99% of people listening to this podcast would quit their jobs tomorrow if it meant that their job would now become laying in bed and watching football.

Speaker 23 Oh, in a second.

Speaker 31 That's, I mean, this is the time of year where we have to, like, as much as I get a little anxiety of, like, oh, like, I'm not going to be around on Sundays. Like,

Speaker 16 this is no, everyone wants our job because we get to just watch every game on Sunday.

Speaker 70 But we have to.

Speaker 99 This is the fucking best.

Speaker 19 But we have to sit up in chairs.

Speaker 9 That's true. Like, converse.
Like

Speaker 19 child laborers. And bet.

Speaker 33 Oh, the horrors.

Speaker 19 It's tough.

Speaker 17 We are no different than the miners, the nine-year-old miners

Speaker 46 like 1902.

Speaker 61 America was America.

Speaker 19 So this is, it's a great picture. We can only hope that Daryl Bevel becomes the first coach on the sidelines wearing an eye patch.
Yes.

Speaker 19 We almost had it with Mike Zimmer a few years ago when he got, you remember his eye just get, it kept getting worse and worse and worse. Yes, it was very fast.
He very stopped watching film. Yes.

Speaker 19 I would love it if Daryl Bevel week one on the sidelines wearing a pirates eye patch.

Speaker 19 I mean,

Speaker 19 I would put a future on the Dolphins at that point. Yeah.

Speaker 31 That's, I mean, they're willing to risk it all

Speaker 65 in every capacity. All right.

Speaker 63 Other things.

Speaker 97 I'm just so excited.

Speaker 56 Am I back on football guy duty this season?

Speaker 97 No.

Speaker 56 Who's doing it?

Speaker 2 I think we're just going to say football guy stories.

Speaker 62 Okay. We're not going to do a game.

Speaker 19 We're not going to do official football guy of the week. We're just going to be like, this guy right here is probably football guy of the week.

Speaker 102 Yeah.

Speaker 31 Good, good, good question, though, Jake, because we're going to change a couple other things up.

Speaker 2 We're going to do on Fridays, the preview.

Speaker 17 We're going to preview every game. Instead of doing

Speaker 16 four picks each, what we're going to do is just everyone, we're going to to preview every game normally. And then at the end, everyone's going to give their best pick

Speaker 32 spread in total.

Speaker 16 And there can't be any duplicates.

Speaker 6 That will be the rules.

Speaker 26 So we'll go around in a circle.

Speaker 3 If your pick gets picked, then you got to go.

Speaker 31 And then we have the punishment of a one-hour set in Las Vegas for the Super Bowl live show

Speaker 85 streamed.

Speaker 16 I was actually, no joke, I was walking.

Speaker 32 I was at the zoo with my kids, and there was a guy doing magic.

Speaker 28 And I was in the back of my head, I was like, I might have to come back here and get this guy to teach me something.

Speaker 62 You know what I mean?

Speaker 92 I might have to, he was doing a floating table.

Speaker 19 It was awesome. Magic would be a good idea.
Also, just getting like a reptile handler or a bunch of animals to come out. Yeah.
And then you just have animals join you on.

Speaker 35 Releasing just a bunch of crickets.

Speaker 19 That would be great. Yeah.

Speaker 49 Bees.

Speaker 19 I release bees. Yeah.
Here's my show. Yeah.

Speaker 101 Everyone, be careful.

Speaker 16 I mean, it would be great.

Speaker 29 All right. What other things?

Speaker 2 Any other stories that we should talk about?

Speaker 104 Okay, Max? We're just ready for football.

Speaker 103 I'm good. Thank you.

Speaker 104 We all believe in the Lions on Thursday night, which is terrible for the Lions.

Speaker 19 I'm going back on the Gremlin over three and a half field goal bets. Last year, it was plus money.
It hit at like 71%.

Speaker 19 It was the best bet that I ever made in my life. Yeah.

Speaker 29 So we're going to ride it.

Speaker 19 We're going to ride it over field goals and the Lions money line.

Speaker 28 Hank's back on his hungry dog. I saw him tweet that.

Speaker 78 It triggered me a little.

Speaker 28 Because you know he's just going to pick against our teams every week.

Speaker 19 Oh, of course. Yeah.
I know he's going to take the Cardinals week one.

Speaker 16 I know it. I know.

Speaker 68 The Cardinals might be the hungriest dog in the league.

Speaker 62 Shut the fuck up.

Speaker 57 You're such.

Speaker 33 Everyone's bad. Everyone's exactly.

Speaker 19 You always say you always say it's not personal, but somehow it's always personal.

Speaker 31 It's always, you always find a way to make it personal.

Speaker 17 It's either against the Commanders or against the Can't Lose Barlay.

Speaker 103 I've agreed. Which will be bad.

Speaker 106 Question about the picks.

Speaker 72 Yeah.

Speaker 106 You can fade somebody, right?

Speaker 30 Yes, you just can't duplicate.

Speaker 93 So if I'm like, if my first pick is the Commanders minus seven, no one else can pick the Commanders minus seven.

Speaker 106 So at the end of the year, are we going to have to.

Speaker 106 I'm thinking there's going to be like strategies of like, if you're trying to catch someone, just fading whatever they pick, no matter what.

Speaker 49 You're getting way too ahead of yourself.

Speaker 24 I know what I'm thinking.

Speaker 95 Just remember, we all suck. So we're all going to be like 40% at the end of the year.

Speaker 106 I'm going to get losers at every single pet here.

Speaker 19 I'm Commanders minus seven. Can I just say that? Will you allow me to take Commanders minus seven?

Speaker 107 I have to figure out who gets to go first.

Speaker 19 I already put it in.

Speaker 20 We have to figure out who goes first.

Speaker 19 This is my makeup for Texas Tech. I'm doubling down.
Yeah. Commies are bust.

Speaker 99 Okay, well, hopefully, you get first pick.

Speaker 72 All right.

Speaker 28 Now Hank's going to just take the command.

Speaker 49 Hank would never do that. Yes, he would.

Speaker 81 He would do that to you.

Speaker 19 Hank loves plus signs.

Speaker 28 Oh, I'm so excited for football.

Speaker 19 On the golf course and on his bet slip.

Speaker 73 Also,

Speaker 16 for people who don't know, new listeners, Mondays shows, no guest, will be all football all the time.

Speaker 46 We go through every single game, which is great because, you know, there's a lot of teams that don't get any shine in the national media. They just get forgotten after like two weeks.

Speaker 19 Basically, the entire NFC South.

Speaker 46 Yeah, we find a way to make jokes about those teams for the entirety of the year, and it's great.

Speaker 93 And I'm very excited.

Speaker 7 Sunday, what are you guys going to wear on Sunday?

Speaker 11 Tux. What are you going to eat? I'm wearing Tux.
What are we going to eat on Sunday?

Speaker 19 I'm going to wear a Tux. And I'm going to cheesesteaks.

Speaker 65 We do have to figure out what we're going to eat all day because it's a big, like, you can't fuck up the menu for week one.

Speaker 95 This is a conversation that needs to be happening all across America with everyone and their friends.

Speaker 1 This is important.

Speaker 61 I think either chicken tenders, chicken tenders, cheesesteaks, Or we're going to have two meals.

Speaker 85 Yeah, we're going to have, well, maybe three.

Speaker 68 I like bacon ranch subs.

Speaker 49 I like eating. Big cat combo.

Speaker 98 I like eating. What is that?

Speaker 53 What is the big cat combo?

Speaker 34 I didn't even know that existed

Speaker 109 until I saw the ad.

Speaker 43 I'm not sure yet.

Speaker 19 I like having one slice of pizza in between the early and the late games.

Speaker 75 Just

Speaker 34 a little pizza that's just out that we can notch on.

Speaker 19 Yeah, it keeps you awake.

Speaker 84 It keeps you going in between the games.

Speaker 83 Yeah, we have to, these are things that we have to think about.

Speaker 10 I like a root beer.

Speaker 81 Can I get a root beer?

Speaker 10 I would also like a root beer.

Speaker 13 Okay, let's get some root beer.

Speaker 56 I like a big cat combo is a choice of cheese steak, fries, and a drink.

Speaker 50 All in one.

Speaker 19 You know, Big Cat loves that.

Speaker 9 Yep.

Speaker 89 What is it? Fries?

Speaker 19 Fries?

Speaker 56 Your cheese steak of choice, fries, and a drink.

Speaker 19 That is so insane, it just might work. Yeah.
A sandwich, fries, and a drink.

Speaker 62 If it was a real big.

Speaker 49 A hell of a deal, and everyone should go get a big cat combo.

Speaker 19 We've got some marketing wizards.

Speaker 26 If it was a real Big Cat combo, it would be two subs, one for the one you put in the fridge, so you eat it halftime.

Speaker 19 If you want to get wild with it, get the big cat combo, but make it PFT style, which is where you take the fries and you put them on the sandwich.

Speaker 50 Ooh, I like that.

Speaker 69 Yeah, I like that.

Speaker 15 Yeah.

Speaker 56 Part of mycheesesteak.com.

Speaker 73 There we go. The plug God.

Speaker 14 At it again.

Speaker 26 Okay, let's do hot seat, cool thrown.

Speaker 101 And then we have Pete Prisco, Dalvin Cook, Jim Bose,

Speaker 31 and the worst draft we've ever done, the pancake draft, pancakes only. So it's going to, we're giving shine to the offensive lineman.
We all drafted five offensive linemen.

Speaker 63 It was a struggle.

Speaker 101 It was a struggle.

Speaker 31 I forgot Field Yates told us that offensive lines are pretty weak right now. So it's actually not us.

Speaker 19 It's the league. That's the only reason why we're able to name five guys.

Speaker 3 Yeah, exactly. All right.

Speaker 19 Hey, it's PFT here, reminding you that Boars Head makes Game Day Entertaining elevated and effortless.

Speaker 19 Whether you order catering platters ahead from your local Boars Head retailer, or you create your own spread at home with Boars Head premium deli meats and cheeses, you are sure to impress your guests.

Speaker 19 Seriously, guys, it's a game-changing flavor for every gathering. Boarshead, committed to craft since 1905.

Speaker 26 Okay, Hank, hot seat cool throne.

Speaker 68 My hot seat is Riley Leonard.

Speaker 33 Oh, yeah.

Speaker 85 We shouldn't, we, we, we,

Speaker 16 Clemson fans were like, oh, thank god you guys recorded,

Speaker 16 you know, before the game ended.

Speaker 95 We should, you go, but then we should, we should bury Clemson.

Speaker 68 Yeah, so Duke beat Clemson, upset.

Speaker 68 Close game, though, right? No, not even close.

Speaker 13 Oh, but Clemson got the over.

Speaker 68 No, they didn't. Oh.

Speaker 17 28-7?

Speaker 17 Ooh.

Speaker 19 At least Duke didn't storm the field on him.

Speaker 8 They did. Oh, no.

Speaker 68 And then afterwards, Riley Leonard, the quarterback, had a great touchdown, running touchdown.

Speaker 68 He was doing a press conference or interview after the game and said, Professor Taylor, if you're seeing this, please let me turn in my homework late because it's due tonight, I think at 12.

Speaker 33 Oh.

Speaker 68 And then Professor Taylor, which if you haven't seen the picture, look him up. He just is the most professor-looking Duke.

Speaker 34 Professor Taylor of all time.

Speaker 68 Of all time. He said, Wesley Williams and the other linemen who were in the class, they said they prepared ahead of time.

Speaker 102 So why didn't the quarterback?

Speaker 112 Oh, no.

Speaker 61 So no way, man.

Speaker 68 No extensions.

Speaker 47 What a remote. What a dickhead.

Speaker 33 Yeah.

Speaker 33 That's an absolute dickhead.

Speaker 19 That's the most Duke story ever, with the exception of Duke winning at football. Yeah.

Speaker 103 What a fucking asshole.

Speaker 7 I don't like this guy.

Speaker 19 You know what that tells me? That tells me that Riley Leonard was not prepared to win. No.
That tells me he thought he was going to lose, and then he'd have time after the game to send it in. Yeah.

Speaker 31 Clemson, though, done.

Speaker 81 Dabo, it's

Speaker 85 great bearing, Dabo.

Speaker 63 Bury him.

Speaker 31 I know Clemson fans will get upset. You have to understand Dabo is not a likable guy.

Speaker 16 You had your run,

Speaker 31 and it does, it is kind of nice.

Speaker 9 If Dabo didn't say all the stuff about NIL and Transfer Portal, i i would feel a little bit worse but he's so resistant to change when college football has so drastically changed in the last five years it's kind of great to be like dude all you had to do was embrace it and realize that everything is changing around you you got to change like nick sabin has always changed yeah so i mean dabo doesn't want to change no and so he's not going to if he did change I'll say something nice about Dabo.

Speaker 19 He's not being as big a hypocrite as I expected him to be.

Speaker 19 So when he said, like, I didn't want to change, I don't want college football to be run by money, I'll quit. Yeah, he didn't quit, but he did quit trying to do everything that he can to win.
Right.

Speaker 19 So he's not using the transfer portal. He doesn't like the mentality of just jumping around when you get upset.
But along with that comes losing.

Speaker 29 I also, the one thing I don't like whenever we talk about college football, it's a little different than the NFL where like the

Speaker 6 head coach is recruiting the players.

Speaker 25 He's getting the best players.

Speaker 26 So when people are like, oh, it's not so easy.

Speaker 93 Like you don't have Trevor Lawrence and Deshaun Watson.

Speaker 31 Well, Dabo does deserve credit for getting those guys. It's kind of like the Dion when people are like, oh, well, he had better talent at Jackson State than everyone else.

Speaker 53 Like, okay, isn't that the point?

Speaker 50 That goes along with it.

Speaker 31 You want to get the best players.

Speaker 19 Now you have to ask, was Brent Vinnables,

Speaker 19 was he the real mastermind behind Swims? That's a good question. Because I feel like you could make that argument.
I think I might make that argument, actually.

Speaker 33 Yeah, go ahead and make that argument.

Speaker 19 I'll make the argument because when Brent Vinnibles left, Clemson started to suck. Yes.
So I just want to leave you with one last Dabo quote. How quickly we forget.
I think this was just last year.

Speaker 19 It was in December. We built this program on NIL.
We really did, Swinney said. It's probably different from what you're thinking, though.
We built this program in God's name, image, and likeness.

Speaker 63 Yes.

Speaker 38 All-time quote. Yep.

Speaker 76 Oh, Dabo.

Speaker 30 He's just corny.

Speaker 7 That's really what it comes down to.

Speaker 36 It's hard to root for a guy who's that corny.

Speaker 19 And also, some people bring up the fact that

Speaker 19 they weren't paying God.

Speaker 18 Dabbo also has.

Speaker 19 They were using God's name, image, and likeness.

Speaker 19 That's worse than anything else. I think he was paying God because he was doing baptisms after practice, right?

Speaker 50 Yeah.

Speaker 19 Splashing a little water.

Speaker 16 Dabo also has the

Speaker 26 like a treasure trove of memes that come back at him.

Speaker 29 The L, running out with the L.

Speaker 104 That's a memes classic.

Speaker 31 Memes classic, running down the hill before his whole team. Him doing the TikTok, the hickory dickery dock.
Dabbo's on the TikTok. Yeah.
Like all these just come flooding on the timeline.

Speaker 25 And it's just a lesson to all the coaches out there.

Speaker 31 If you're ever going to stop recruiting and doing Transfer Portal in NIL, try not to be on TikTok as well.

Speaker 89 Yeah. Good point.

Speaker 25 Also, very, very, very niche advice.

Speaker 19 Did you see that Dabo was upset because of how far the locker rooms are at Duke from the field?

Speaker 49 Oh, no.

Speaker 19 So he was starting to blame that. I like it.
And now

Speaker 19 Dabo's the last guy that should do that because he makes his team get off a bus at the top of a hill and then follow him sprinting down it to go onto the field.

Speaker 15 So

Speaker 19 the journey from the locker room to the field should not have an impact for that team. Yes.

Speaker 16 I kind of like, though, like it's back to the Shane Beamer blaming the guys, the chain gang, eating hot dogs.

Speaker 16 I kind of like when these coaches just become such like obvious babies because we know they're babies.

Speaker 54 But when they show their colors like that, it does tickle me a little.

Speaker 19 What's Dabbo's buyout right now?

Speaker 116 Oh, oh, oh.

Speaker 49 Let's look that up.

Speaker 83 I mean, the thing is, he is, he did win two national titles.

Speaker 19 Yeah, and he's not.

Speaker 31 Clemson was not good, or they couldn't get over the hump for the longest time. He went and built that program to an insane level.

Speaker 53 So he does, it's not that he's a bad coach.

Speaker 19 Some people would also point to the defensive line that one year having a bunch of those PED positive tests.

Speaker 46 Dabbo's

Speaker 46 interesting.

Speaker 104 All right, wait, hold on.

Speaker 19 I got to draft my kicker.

Speaker 38 I'm taking Jake Elliott.

Speaker 103 I'm doing a draft right now. Fuck yeah.

Speaker 73 Yeah,

Speaker 94 because I just don't recognize it.

Speaker 31 $64 million buyout.

Speaker 17 $64 million.

Speaker 19 Word on the street is what I'm hearing, big cat, in NCAA circles, is that Clemson is considering a buyout.

Speaker 16 I like that they also detailed in the buyout here, like it almost, like as if it gets cheaper.

Speaker 17 It's $64 million this year.

Speaker 31 It drops to $60 million in 2024.

Speaker 16 And then get this, this is discount.

Speaker 17 $57 million in 2026.

Speaker 19 I think they're going to wait through this season.

Speaker 53 No,

Speaker 19 he's not going to lose his job. No.

Speaker 16 He's not going to lose his job.

Speaker 113 But it is fun to, it's fun to root against Dabbo when he loses.

Speaker 31 Sorry, Clemson fans.

Speaker 16 But you knew that.

Speaker 19 It's part of winning. I'm a Cox man.

Speaker 82 It's part of winning.

Speaker 17 If you win, the pendulum swings back.

Speaker 19 Okay, Hank, your cool throne.

Speaker 68 My cool throne is pettiness.

Speaker 68 This league, Alabama, Texas, big matchup this weekend.

Speaker 68 Last year, they played, and Alabama's band did not travel to Texas because the Longhorns only gave their band upper deck seats. And now Alabama is doing the same thing.

Speaker 19 They said all 5,000 visitor tickets which include seats for the band will be in the upper deck i love a good band rivalry i really do you remember a couple years ago when when purdue's giant ass drum couldn't fit into the stadium yeah they had to leave the giant the big drum yeah the big drum yeah yeah i love i love band wars yeah and band people are the horniest oh for sure yeah it's not just the american pie like trope it's i think wisconsin had a huge scandal like right around when i was there just dildos and shit or hazing

Speaker 19 so if you if you think that northwestern football had a hazing issue, look at band culture across America.

Speaker 68 I think they should just show up and go harder than ever. Yeah.
Like Alabama just not showing up to, or no, Texas not showing up last year is kind of lame.

Speaker 19 No, Texas showed up last year. Texas was homehoring.

Speaker 68 Because it was Alabama's band to not travel last year. Yeah.

Speaker 49 So, yeah, I agree with you.

Speaker 19 The Texas Longhorn band should just say, fuck it. We're going anyways.
Make them kick you out.

Speaker 16 I also, I stand with bands in college football.

Speaker 34 I think it's a great part of the game.

Speaker 29 Yeah.

Speaker 85 I love hearing when like Oklahoma or USC gets rolling and they just play that over and over and over.

Speaker 19 It's how you know you're watching college football.

Speaker 61 Yeah, it's great.

Speaker 79 Uh, no, you don't like it.

Speaker 68 The halftime, I mean, it's it is what it is.

Speaker 95 The halftime, I don't care about no one watches the halftime show.

Speaker 56 It's like the in-between plays, like, yeah, yeah, FSU or channel.

Speaker 103 Is that Florida?

Speaker 104 That's kind of Florida, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 73 No, is that LSU?

Speaker 102 No, what's the

Speaker 102 no,

Speaker 47 mess?

Speaker 19 That's Narcos.

Speaker 21 Yeah.

Speaker 19 That's a bang. Texas goes.

Speaker 33 Yeah.

Speaker 1 Boomer Sooner is the.

Speaker 69 What do they play? They play the.

Speaker 28 I always fuck this up with USC.

Speaker 30 No.

Speaker 114 That's Super War.

Speaker 22 No, that's Superman.

Speaker 76 I think they do.

Speaker 76 I need to listen to Boover Sooner real quick.

Speaker 19 It's Jurassic Park.

Speaker 118 Yeah, I was going to say.

Speaker 97 Yeah, that's definitely

Speaker 81 Star Wars. Star Wars.
Yep.

Speaker 88 This is a lot of intro.

Speaker 59 I had the first note right.

Speaker 31 Every first down, when they're like scoring 60,

Speaker 19 all school fight songs are kind of the same.

Speaker 33 Yeah. They're pretty simple.

Speaker 19 They're all very similar. I think they all have like very similar chord progressions.
I'm going to get to work on that.

Speaker 103 Well,

Speaker 78 when you play with the trumpet and the trombone, they kind of all blend together.

Speaker 19 Yeah, it's true. Yeah.

Speaker 30 You're either doing college football touchdown or ska.

Speaker 33 There's really nothing else.

Speaker 19 Both great things.

Speaker 20 Two of my favorite things.

Speaker 32 That would be great if one team did a ska.

Speaker 49 They usually do.

Speaker 26 No, but for their touchdown song.

Speaker 19 Yeah, if you watch March Madness, though, every band, they're like, okay, let's do a fun one. And they play Real Big Fish.
Yeah.

Speaker 98 Yeah. Or Take on Me.

Speaker 19 The Real Big Fish version of Take on Me.

Speaker 99 Whose cool throne is it?

Speaker 68 That was My Cool Throne.

Speaker 105 Oh, Jesus.

Speaker 68 My other one was Diarrhea, but we talked about that. You want to talk about it again? I just wrote Unidentified if it's a Boy or Girl.
Oh, so you were on that? That was my only note.

Speaker 68 You were on that early.

Speaker 23 Okay.

Speaker 25 PFT, your hot seat cool throne.

Speaker 31 My hot seat is Obama.

Speaker 19 Yeah. Obama's on the hot seat.
Friend of the program, longtime Stoole, Tucker Carlson, is having a guy on his show.

Speaker 68 What's that? I thought Obama was the...

Speaker 19 Obama also, longtime Stoole. Longtime Stoole.
And AWL.

Speaker 19 So Tucker is having a guy on his show tonight that claims that he had sex with Obama back in 1999. So Jake, we have to ask, does it matter if Obama had sex with this man in 1999?

Speaker 56 It does not matter.

Speaker 51 Good news for everyone.

Speaker 46 Jake will be watching the entire interview and giving us spark notes on Friday's show.

Speaker 2 Yep.

Speaker 70 So you guys are giving me homework.

Speaker 33 So

Speaker 63 I want all the details.

Speaker 45 Yep. I'm going to go in fresh.

Speaker 120 Open mind.

Speaker 31 I don't know if he's gay or not, or if he's had sex with this man or not.

Speaker 113 Jake, you have to just give us the facts, lay them out for us, and we will then make a decision.

Speaker 19 I have not made up my mind, number one, about whether or not they had sex, two, whether it matters. Right.
So I need you to update me on that. I'm waiting for facts to come out.

Speaker 56 How do we want this presented? Facts. PowerPoint, just spoken or

Speaker 19 spoken's frail.

Speaker 19 Spoken's good.

Speaker 62 I don't know. I kind of want a PowerPoint.

Speaker 56 Just one slide. Does it matter?

Speaker 19 No, I just know you got to do it. You got to tell us the story about what happened.

Speaker 120 Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 2 But what, yeah, what's his deal?

Speaker 44 Okay. Top, bottom, who is, you know, he's going to go into detail, I assume.

Speaker 121 Yeah, maybe make me a PowerPoint.

Speaker 20 For Friday? Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 74 I'd like to see a PowerPoint.

Speaker 116 Okay. Thank you.

Speaker 33 We cover it all on this show.

Speaker 23 Okay.

Speaker 49 Your cool throne, PFT?

Speaker 19 My cool throne is Lyon, France. Lyon? I don't know how you pronounce it.
Lyon. I'm going to go with Lyon.

Speaker 72 Leon. Oh, ha, ha, ha.

Speaker 19 It's a good sports town. It's confirmed a good sports town.
So they lost against Paris Saint-Germain in the Farmers League 4-1. It was a home loss.

Speaker 19 And then after the match, they made their players stand on the field while their fans got microphones and berated them for their performance. The coach K.

Speaker 19 And the players had to sit there and listen to the fans tell them that they stunk, that they were an embarrassment to the jersey, which is awesome.

Speaker 19 I know I don't care about French soccer, but I do care about American sports and accountability. I would love to see this in the NFL.
Yes.

Speaker 5 Yes. How great would that be?

Speaker 66 Yes.

Speaker 19 If Boltman was out there just berating Brandon Staley for not going for it more fourth downs afterwards.

Speaker 32 Yes, we need that.

Speaker 120 It would be accountability.

Speaker 50 It is important. Awesome.

Speaker 34 It should just be a fan press conference.

Speaker 19 It should be a fan press conference that the players have to listen to.

Speaker 19 And yeah, you are allowed to, if you're not even a fan, if you're just a gambler that lost money, you're allowed to publicly air your grievances with Todd Gurley for taking a knee. Yeah.

Speaker 15 Yeah.

Speaker 7 Just rip into him.

Speaker 19 I love it. I love this.
It's such a fun video.

Speaker 77 All right.

Speaker 30 My hot seat is the Angels for two reasons.

Speaker 32 One is Lucas Giolito, who was an Angel when the Angels were trying to go all in at the deadline,

Speaker 30 is the first player since, I think it's 19,

Speaker 35 I think it was actually 1898.

Speaker 83 I got to find it.

Speaker 30 He's pitched, he's given up eight earned runs for three different teams this year.

Speaker 17 Pretty impressive. That is pretty cool.

Speaker 96 Hard to do.

Speaker 25 He's done it three different times, three different teams.

Speaker 31 He started on the White Sox, went to the Angels, now is on the Guardians.

Speaker 86 The last one to do it was Bill McGee.

Speaker 31 Bill McGee, who you probably all know.

Speaker 16 And Bill McGee is also, he did it in 1897.

Speaker 21 Bill McGee is also famous for just disappearing.

Speaker 31 No one knows where Bill McGee went. He was just living, he retired from baseball, was living with his wife and kid, and then never came back.

Speaker 16 And if you look up Bill McGee's age, it says that he's 148 years old.

Speaker 19 I have to imagine that it was pretty easy to do that back then. Yeah.
People could just move, you move like two towns away. Yeah, you're just like, no idea what happened to that guy.

Speaker 19 Going out for cigarettes.

Speaker 85 Up on the horse.

Speaker 14 And then the Angels also, because they had Picture Day Today, and they had a body double for Shohei Otani.

Speaker 46 That seems racist.

Speaker 69 Well, it was actually a white guy.

Speaker 98 Okay, that's not racist.

Speaker 34 Yeah, because I think that's actually, that's very funny.

Speaker 62 I think they literally were now

Speaker 83 I'm glad that they did that.

Speaker 43 Yeah, I think

Speaker 37 when they did body double, I think it was literally a guy standing in a full uniform that they were going to then just put in Shoe Otani.

Speaker 49 Okay, I like that. Yeah.

Speaker 34 I thought the same thing at first.

Speaker 103 I was like, wait, what the fuck?

Speaker 16 And then I saw the guy because they like, you could only see the back of him

Speaker 31 walking out of the clubhouse, and then they escorted him out of the stadium.

Speaker 16 I think, like, that's pretty sick, though.

Speaker 5 Whoever got to be the body double for Shoe Heio.

Speaker 56 Oh, there's a clear picture of him.

Speaker 9 Oh, there is.

Speaker 108 Oh, yeah. He's a white guy, right?

Speaker 63 Yep. Yeah.

Speaker 19 Yeah, that guy looks nothing like Shohei Otani.

Speaker 48 No, so I think they're just doing a full Photoshop.

Speaker 31 Because I thought, my mind went to the same place.

Speaker 45 I was like, what the fuck?

Speaker 19 So where was Shohei?

Speaker 62 Injured? He was injured.

Speaker 19 He can't stand for a picture?

Speaker 66 No, his arm. Sometimes they don't like...

Speaker 56 They just go off to rehab or something.

Speaker 103 I don't know.

Speaker 106 We're pretty sure he's playing again.

Speaker 49 Yeah, he's hitting.

Speaker 22 Yeah, but he wasn't there.

Speaker 16 Either way, they're a clown organization through and through.

Speaker 31 My cool throne is Max's favorite player, Trey Turner,

Speaker 16 because he just went on paternity leave, which is not remarkable except for the fact that it's exactly nine months to the day that he signed his $300 million contract.

Speaker 49 That is the best sex of all time.

Speaker 19 I'm actually surprised that that resulted in a pregnancy.

Speaker 55 Yeah, too.

Speaker 19 I would figure he'd be using all the whole sex.

Speaker 90 Well, maybe Doggy.

Speaker 19 Yeah, Doggy.

Speaker 61 Doggy usually gets pregnant.

Speaker 2 It shoots it deep.

Speaker 56 Yeah. Reminder for when he comes back for you guys to bet on him to hit a homer.

Speaker 97 Oh, yeah.

Speaker 19 Is the baby bump real in baseball?

Speaker 103 I don't know.

Speaker 106 He also just hits a home run every game now.

Speaker 55 Oh, after you cheered for him?

Speaker 106 Every single game he hits a home run. Wow.

Speaker 25 Is that true?

Speaker 17 Because you also claimed that the Phillies were the hottest team in baseball since the all-star break.

Speaker 10 And then I looked it up because I was like, I think the Cubs are better.

Speaker 63 And you were way wrong.

Speaker 47 I was wrong.

Speaker 23 I was wrong. I was wrong.

Speaker 103 Okay.

Speaker 106 But Phillies are playing good baseball right now.

Speaker 97 They're getting hot.

Speaker 54 Either way, Trey Turner.

Speaker 68 Hottest team in sports, right?

Speaker 100 Yeah, hottest team in sports.

Speaker 34 Having $300 million sex, that rules.

Speaker 102 Like,

Speaker 19 that was awesome. It is pretty good.
Yeah, good for him. Congrats, Trey.
Very happy for you, all your accomplishments. Biggest fan.

Speaker 104 Paternity leave. You should probably be back tomorrow.

Speaker 76 I miss you.

Speaker 17 But that's fine. All right.

Speaker 65 Trey Turner has hit three out of the last four games.

Speaker 16 He's hit a home run.

Speaker 17 No, four out of the last five, he's hit a home run.

Speaker 118 That's pretty good.

Speaker 31 But before that, he hadn't hit a home run in a month.

Speaker 55 So every game.

Speaker 71 That's not true.

Speaker 19 Has he done any cool slides this year?

Speaker 31 Oh, no, he hit a couple.

Speaker 19 I love Trey Turner's cool slides. He's outstanding ovation.

Speaker 106 He's been insane.

Speaker 25 Yeah, no, he actually, Max is sort of right.

Speaker 101 He's hit,

Speaker 56 looks like seven home runs in the last eight games that's pretty crazy good job max thank you fact-checked correct uh jake finish us off uh my hot seat is us as football fans why because unfortunately chris mortenson is stepping away from the spn oh people use the word legend all the time he is a legend in the football media game jake's trying to take our 500 out of 100 excitement to 499.

Speaker 58 Thank you, Jake.

Speaker 10 No, you're right.

Speaker 19 I mean, Chris Mortensen, a legend, living legend, great guy.

Speaker 31 This is just like the most exciting time.

Speaker 19 And you're like, I was just like pumped for football. I was pumped to take my shirt off

Speaker 50 and beat my chest.

Speaker 70 Good job, Mort.

Speaker 27 Send him off like a king.

Speaker 103 Yeah. I like Mort.

Speaker 120 I like Mort.

Speaker 19 He is a legend.

Speaker 16 I just like.

Speaker 54 He shouldn't have retired right before football season.

Speaker 31 He should have retired right after the draft, and we would have been able to be like, Mort, we miss you.

Speaker 16 We love you.

Speaker 69 Great job.

Speaker 34 He did it right before football season.

Speaker 16 It's any news right now, minus diarrhea on an airplane, is just a speed bump to Thursday night. It truly does not even register for me.

Speaker 68 He also is big to Flakegate.

Speaker 57 Oh,

Speaker 57 go off.

Speaker 9 Go off, Hank.

Speaker 14 You don't feel like it.

Speaker 20 He just made up rumors.

Speaker 32 Yeah, wasn't he the initial tweet?

Speaker 48 The 11 out of 12 footballs?

Speaker 99 Yeah.

Speaker 68 But great guy. I'll miss you, Mort.

Speaker 20 Great career.

Speaker 68 Minus a

Speaker 68 completely false story. That was just.

Speaker 68 Other than that, though, great. You can't win them all.
Yeah.

Speaker 19 No.

Speaker 19 Yeah, this is a great tribute to Chris Morrison.

Speaker 56 Yes, great job. My cool throne is college basketball.
Barcelon Invitational. Plug God, let's go.
He's back here in Chicago.

Speaker 60 Yes.

Speaker 56 Unreal doubleheader, FAU versus Loyal Chicago, Mississippi State, Arizona State, barstall.link slash invitational for tickets, barstall.tv on Wednesday, November 8th.

Speaker 14 Yeah, Bobby Hurley.

Speaker 101 We get to call Bobby Hurley games.

Speaker 19 Fucking all. And a sister gene games.

Speaker 20 And a sister gene.

Speaker 47 She's hopeful to be in the crowd.

Speaker 10 FAU.

Speaker 104 Or you got to take a picture with her.

Speaker 19 I might challenge her to rough and rowdy.

Speaker 7 You should ask her for a lap dance.

Speaker 29 I should give her a lap dance.

Speaker 63 Right, I know.

Speaker 47 You should ask her if you do a lap dance.

Speaker 19 Oh, I'll get her out of the habit so fast. She'll be like, I wasted my life as a nun.

Speaker 7 How many listeners do you think we've lost on this episode specifically?

Speaker 16 We haven't even got to the pancake.

Speaker 19 I think Sister Gene would find me attractive. Clemson fans are gone.

Speaker 46 People who are like, I don't want to hear diarrhea talk for 15 minutes.

Speaker 37 People who love religion.

Speaker 85 And again, we have not gotten to the pancake.

Speaker 33 Well, no,

Speaker 19 this has nothing to do with Sister Gene's Mort.

Speaker 17 Anyone who's a family member of Mort.

Speaker 19 I'm not talking about her religion. I'm just saying she would maybe think I was a fox.

Speaker 61 Yeah.

Speaker 113 Listen, if you fucked Sister Gene, that would be a hell of a story.

Speaker 63 It would be

Speaker 19 the biggest sports story ever.

Speaker 113 Let's fucking just be honest right now.

Speaker 43 It would be a hell of a story.

Speaker 22 I mean, even if you got head from her.

Speaker 47 What is going on?

Speaker 19 The camera at the Barcelona face.

Speaker 11 It's too high right now.

Speaker 19 It pans up into the stands, and it's Sister Jean, and I'm like on my knees, like Kanye West's wife in that boat.

Speaker 56 This is a perfect last pre-football episode.

Speaker 51 Yeah, yeah, yeah. No, but that's a good plug.

Speaker 34 Yeah, go buy the tickets.

Speaker 88 We want to pack the house.

Speaker 3 So it's in Chicago, Wind Trust, where DePaul plays double header, November 8th.

Speaker 47 Yes. Wednesday, November 8th.

Speaker 69 So there's not going to be any football that's going to be, you know, we're competing against.

Speaker 61 Bands are in the balcony.

Speaker 51 Bands in the balcony.

Speaker 108 We'll see.

Speaker 25 Rico Bosco will get probably 15 shots at a half-court shot.

Speaker 31 But yeah, we're going to have a bunch of same as last time.

Speaker 104 It was awesome.

Speaker 31 We had a bunch of barstool personalities doing a bunch of shit.

Speaker 121 So it's going to be great.

Speaker 16 Excited.

Speaker 19 Pumped. Good plug.

Speaker 16 And PFT is going to be getting head from Sister Gene in between.

Speaker 10 Or giving.

Speaker 9 Yeah, or giving. We'll see.

Speaker 103 Oh, okay.

Speaker 69 I like it.

Speaker 31 Hey, check misogyny off the box for us.

Speaker 53 We do it both ways here.

Speaker 69 We'll lick that pussy.

Speaker 119 Okay. So Barstool Invitational, what is it?

Speaker 34 Where can they buy tickets?

Speaker 56 Barstool.link/slash invitational.

Speaker 13 Max, would you titty fuck Sister Jean?

Speaker 111 No, I wouldn't.

Speaker 19 Me was giving a look, one of his classic looks.

Speaker 118 I mean, it would be funny if PFT blew Sister Jeans back.

Speaker 105 I thought he was going to say something like, we can't run this.

Speaker 58 He's like, no, I got one more.

Speaker 33 I got one more in me. I've been thinking about it.

Speaker 58 He's the Vince Carter meme.

Speaker 8 I got one more in me.

Speaker 33 I've crunched the numbers.

Speaker 38 I find this humorous.

Speaker 74 All right, let's get to our interviews.

Speaker 101 We've got Pete Prisco, then Dalvin Cook.

Speaker 12 The pro football football show is presented by the Chevy Silverado. Built for the hustle, ready for the game.
Chevy Silverado is America's most dependable full-size truck.

Speaker 12 Whether you're grinding through the week or gearing up for kickoff, the Silverado is one ride that's always game ready. Just like football, it's about grit, grind, and getting it done.

Speaker 12 Head to Chevy.com to learn more and build your own Chevy Silverado.

Speaker 34 Okay, here he is: Pete Prisco.

Speaker 88 Okay, we now welcome on one of our favorite guests, the fiery Italian, we call him.

Speaker 19 It actually ends the four-day Italian banishment from part of my team.

Speaker 26 Yeah, for Tom Fresnelli, screwing over all our listeners, but it is Pete Prisco from CBS Sports.

Speaker 100 He is one of our favorite guests.

Speaker 54 He watches the film, and we're here to do an NFL preview, as is tradition, with Pete Prisco.

Speaker 51 Let's start here, Pete.

Speaker 54 Give me your seven teams in the AFC that are going to make the playoffs.

Speaker 4 I want to start there, and then we can work around the league, but it's a good litmus test to see where your head's at going into the season.

Speaker 125 Okay, we'll start in the east where everybody else starts, because it's Aaron Rodgers' division. Buffalo will win the division.
They're still the best team. Okay.

Speaker 125 And the Jets have to learn how to win. They haven't won anything.
He has.

Speaker 125 And some of those old guys he brought with him from Green Bay, they have, but the majority of those guys have to learn how to to win. So I'm picking Buffalo in a division.

Speaker 125 Jacksonville's a slam dunk in their division.

Speaker 125 And I, hmm, you went, hmm.

Speaker 33 Yeah, no, keep going. We'll go back to that.

Speaker 11 I just want, you know, okay.

Speaker 13 It's a good way to start off to say who you like.

Speaker 33 Yeah.

Speaker 125 The Chiefs will win their division, and the Bengals will win their division. So there's the four division winners.
The wild card teams will be the Chargers,

Speaker 125 the Browns,

Speaker 125 and the Jets.

Speaker 38 Wow.

Speaker 19 Interesting. So, but wait, you said that the Jets have to learn how to win first.
Pete, you know football. You've been around this league.

Speaker 19 I've always been told that first you have to learn how to not lose before you learn how to win. And the Jets don't know how to not lose yet.

Speaker 116 Correct.

Speaker 125 They haven't won anything. When was the last time the Jets were relevant? And granted, getting Aaron Rodgers changes the dynamic of the team, but you have to learn how to win.

Speaker 125 Big games, close games, and playoff games. They've done none of it.

Speaker 19 How do you learn how to win? What does that look like?

Speaker 125 You do it once and then you come back the next year and then you really can do it.

Speaker 74 Okay. For example,

Speaker 125 Jacksonville learned how to win last year.

Speaker 80 Okay, so, all right, let's start with Jacksonville.

Speaker 18 I got a question for you because I know you're high on the Jags this year.

Speaker 3 You're jagging off. Now, obviously,

Speaker 58 they went to the playoffs last year.

Speaker 3 They win a playoff game.

Speaker 36 I'll just play Devil's Advocate for a second, okay?

Speaker 70 And then you can tell me where I'm wrong because you watch the tape.

Speaker 54 The Jaguars were 3-7 last year going into their bye week.

Speaker 37 They won a game against the Ravens, which was an impressive win.

Speaker 99 They got absolutely smoked by the Lions.

Speaker 70 They then beat a Tennessee team that was on a downward spiral.

Speaker 101 They have that kind of weird, lucky win against the Cowboys.

Speaker 5 They beat a terrible Zach Wilson, a terrible Houston team, and then almost lose to Josh Dobbs and the Titans in a win-and-get-in game to end the season to finish 9-8 and win the worst division in football.

Speaker 54 What did you watch that you're like, this now is a slam dunk?

Speaker 87 Because it felt like if you watch it and you're like, oh, yeah, they played the Chiefs well in the playoff game.

Speaker 101 They made some noise.

Speaker 41 They were pretty close to not even making the playoffs last year.

Speaker 125 Correct. But remember, it took it till mid-season for the Urban Meyer Enema to work for them.
I mean, they didn't get it all out until mid-season. And finally, by mid-season, it was gone.
All of it.

Speaker 125 All the crap that he brought was gone. So then they went forward.
Trevor Lawrence was comfortable, and they became a good team.

Speaker 125 But here's why they're a really good team this year to keep an eye on to go to the Super Bowl, which I think they're going to, by the way.

Speaker 125 Here's why. Look at the schedule.
They play

Speaker 125 six games in their own division, which is not good. They play four against rookie quarterbacks.

Speaker 125 They play Carolina. So they have Bryce Young.
So there's another rookie quarterback. Desmond Ritters barely played.
Baker Mayfield, Derek Carr. That's their non-division opponent in that division.

Speaker 19 And their tough games are at home, too, right?

Speaker 125 Well, you get Kansas City when it'll be 140 in week two. You get Buffalo in London, which is actually a road game for the Bills.
You'd rather play Buffalo in London than playing in Buffalo.

Speaker 131 That's true.

Speaker 125 So the schedule is favorable. If they don't win 13 games, it's a disaster.

Speaker 132 By the way, they're going to stole 500 points.

Speaker 33 Whoa!

Speaker 13 500 points,

Speaker 19 and 13 games minimum.

Speaker 21 Wait,

Speaker 51 PFT told me that you were high on the Jags.

Speaker 16 I didn't think it was going to be like this. Oh, yeah.

Speaker 20 He thought Super Bowl.

Speaker 20 Are they going to win the Super Bowl, Pete?

Speaker 49 Is that what you're saying? No.

Speaker 62 Oh, okay.

Speaker 33 Well, man, that was close.

Speaker 58 That'd be crazy.

Speaker 125 But their offense is, what Calvin Ridley will mean to that offense is going to change the way they play. Okay.
And they're going to score a ton of points.

Speaker 19 Have you ever been this high on the Jaguars ever?

Speaker 125 In 99, when they choked.

Speaker 74 Okay. What about their defense, Pete?

Speaker 125 Well, okay, they have two high picks as pass rushers. Trayvon Walker, number one overall.
Josh Allen was top 10. It's time.
And when you play with the lead, your pass rushers become better.

Speaker 125 They'll be good enough on defense. They're not going to be great on defense.
They'll be good enough on defense.

Speaker 19 Okay, that's fascinating to me, Pete. Jaguars Super Bowl.

Speaker 63 Yeah, because this is...

Speaker 133 No, I asked the AFC question because it is absolutely stacked.

Speaker 37 And you have, you know, Burrow, Allen, Mahomes, all these guys.

Speaker 129 You left out the Ravens, the Steelers, and the Dolphins of the playoffs.

Speaker 25 Why are those three teams not going to make the playoffs?

Speaker 125 Well, I think those divisions are going to cannibalize each other. And that's another reason why Jacksonville has a big advantage.
Look at the AFC North.

Speaker 125 I'm with you. Any one of those teams can win it.
So they're going to beat each other up. The AFC East, Miami, Buffalo, the Jets, they're going to beat each other up.

Speaker 125 Out west, the Chargers are a really good team. And then who knows what Sean Payton will do with the Broncos? I don't think they're going to be great, but they could be better.

Speaker 125 So that's why Jacksonville has a big advantage over the rest.

Speaker 125 They might not be the best team, but all you have to do is get home field advantage and win two playoff games.

Speaker 19 So, Pete, talk to me about the Broncos because you are a noted Russell Wilson hater. You think that he's the worst quarterback in the NFL, that he never should have been drafted.

Speaker 19 No, that's what you said. I read your articles.
And

Speaker 19 you watched the tape, confirmed. But you don't think that Sean Payton can fix him.
You probably think he's just.

Speaker 19 Is Russell Wilson unfixable?

Speaker 125 Yeah, to ever be the quarterback that everybody thought he was, yes. He's He's never going to be that.
He never was that.

Speaker 125 He was a good, functional quarterback who had the top-ranked scoring defense four straight years in the league. The last team to do that was the 50s Browns, which was a dynasty.

Speaker 125 They made it easy on him. Then he had a couple good years, and then he was done.

Speaker 19 So with the Broncos, though, they're going to have one of the best defenses in the league, though.

Speaker 125 Yeah, I wouldn't say that.

Speaker 19 So if Russell Wilson can be average to above average, the Broncos should be a good team.

Speaker 125 If he's above average, they'll be a better team. They can get nine games.
Okay. But he was a disaster last year.

Speaker 52 He was. He was.
He was terrible.

Speaker 80 He was. So

Speaker 109 in the AFC,

Speaker 107 if not the Jags,

Speaker 4 who is the pick? Because I don't.

Speaker 108 You're really way too high on the Jags.

Speaker 91 I'm going to say it right now.

Speaker 18 Maybe we'll play this back, and you were the chief team.

Speaker 125 I don't say you're the best team right now.

Speaker 125 The schedule will make them get the number one seed.

Speaker 105 Okay.

Speaker 128 And if they play the Chiefs?

Speaker 110 Buffalo.

Speaker 125 Buffalo and the Chiefs are going to be right in the mix again. Why everybody is sleeping on the Bills, I have no idea.

Speaker 125 I don't get it.

Speaker 70 PFT and I actually had this conversation because obviously our listeners don't love the fact that we love Josh Allen so much and we are biased towards Josh Allen and the Bills.

Speaker 27 But I don't remember a team that was as dominant as they were last year where

Speaker 127 they were 14 and three or 13 and three because they didn't play that game against the Bengals

Speaker 81 where their losses were by a score or less.

Speaker 70 And yes, their game against the Bengals was atrocious in the playoffs.

Speaker 101 But that doesn't mean they're all of a sudden a bad team.

Speaker 88 They were dominant last year.

Speaker 125 By the way, I was on that Josh Allen bandwagon with you guys a long time ago.

Speaker 134 That's facts.

Speaker 125 That's facts. When he came out of Wyoming.
That's facts. And everybody killed that kid.

Speaker 125 They were just brutal on him. And so what he's done is amazing.
And I agree with you. Look at that team.
He's going to be that much better because he was good last year.

Speaker 125 People think he turned the ball over because they ran him too much. That's part of the problem.
They'll be better running the ball.

Speaker 125 Kincaid will help open up the passing game in the middle of the field. Then you go to the defense.
Leslie Frazier was vanilla. He played a vanilla defense.
They didn't attack.

Speaker 125 Sean McDermott will attack more, and I think that's going to be better for the defense. Sleeping on the Bills is just dumb.

Speaker 125 They're going to win the division and be in the mix again to go to the Super Bowl.

Speaker 19 I like it. You didn't mention the Patriots.
You haven't said the word Patriots yet. You mentioned every other team in that division.
You're totally out on the Patriots.

Speaker 125 I mean, you look at that roster. Ugh, it's bad.
The offensive line isn't good. The questions about Mac Jones.

Speaker 125 The receivers, I like Demario Douglas, and I think he's going to be a good player, but he's a rookie. Defense, they have some talent on that side of the ball.

Speaker 125 They'll be feisty, but do you see Mac Jones taking an enormous step forward? No. And so they're the worst quarterback team in the division, which is going to be a problem for them.

Speaker 19 So hot seat Bill Belichick.

Speaker 125 That's ridiculous.

Speaker 13 That guy's good.

Speaker 125 That guy's just never watched.

Speaker 20 The Jacks are going to go to the Super Bowl. You're ridiculous.

Speaker 38 Yeah, I think that's way more ridiculous. That is ridiculous.

Speaker 125 They're going to fire Bill Belichick.

Speaker 19 No, I just said hot seat. That doesn't mean they have to fire him.
It just means that we get to talk about them firing.

Speaker 125 You know what he has to do?

Speaker 125 If Kraft came into his office and said, hey, we're thinking about making a change or something, he should point to all the skins on the wall and say, look what I got you here, buddy.

Speaker 42 Come on.

Speaker 19 Okay. Kraft could go in there and be like, hey, Belichick, you're fired.
And Belichick would be like, no.

Speaker 49 Yeah. And Robert Kraft would be like, okay, fair enough.
Yeah.

Speaker 132 Good talk. Probably.

Speaker 57 CNNX.

Speaker 126 Probably. CNX.

Speaker 125 I'm going to cut you, Kraft. Yeah.

Speaker 135 All protein bars generally taste the same, but not one bars. One made protein bars are actually delicious with Reese's and Hershey's.

Speaker 135 Only one Reese's Peanut Butter Lover's protein bar is made with Reese's peanut butter, and only one Hershey's Cookies and Cream protein bars is made with Hershey's cookie bits while delivering 18 grams of protein and 3 grams of sugar.

Speaker 135 One bars are the perfect protein bar to get you through your busy day, whether you need a quick pick-me-up between meetings or you need some fuel to power you through your next workout.

Speaker 135 One also has other delicious flavors like birthday cake, maple glazed donut, and blueberry cobbler. Find all one bars at a retailer near you or on amazon.com.

Speaker 37 All right, so what about a team that I'm high on that you don't have in the playoffs, the Baltimore Ravens?

Speaker 6 I do think Todd Munkin and that offense are going to be humming. They finally have receivers.

Speaker 31 Zay Flowers, Odell Beckham.

Speaker 51 We'll see what happens with everyone else.

Speaker 101 I think Rashad Bateman's already hurt.

Speaker 54 Why are you saying the Ravens are not going to be a playoff team?

Speaker 125 I'm with you on the offense. Todd Monkin's a great offensive mind.
I think he's going to really help Lamar Jackson become a better passer. And you're right.
They're going to score points.

Speaker 125 I worry about the defense. There's injuries in the secondary already.
It's not a great secondary.

Speaker 125 They need their pass rushers like Ojabo to take the big step forward. Those are big questions.
So I worry about the defense, not so much the offense. I'm with you.

Speaker 125 I think they're going to score a ton of points. I think Lamar Jackson is going to be phenomenal in that offense, but I worry about the defense.

Speaker 105 Okay. Okay.

Speaker 50 That's fair.

Speaker 19 Now, on the NFC side of things, we can get your playoff teams in a second, but I just want to point out something that will be alarming to some of our listeners.

Speaker 19 You have the Lions in your power rankings. Everyone pays attention to the Pete Prisco power rankings.

Speaker 98 Bible for me.

Speaker 19 You have the Lions at 15. Ahead of the Lions, you have the Packers.
You put the Packers ahead of the Lions. You put the Cowboys ahead of the Lions.
You put the Browns ahead of the Lions.

Speaker 19 You put the Commanders ahead of the Detroit Lions. We're Detroit Lions supporters.
We like Jared Goff. We like their coach.

Speaker 1 It sounds like you're a hater, Pete.

Speaker 38 Why are you hating? I'm not a hater.

Speaker 125 And I'm with you on Jared Goff. In fact, you guys, one time, I went there and talked to him in training camp, and he brought up an interview that I had with you guys.
So he's well aware. Oh, yeah.

Speaker 125 I love Jared Goff. I just think there's another team.
What have they ever won? And you have to learn how to win. This is the year.
You try and figure figure it out.

Speaker 125 Then, next year, I think they're going to be a much better team.

Speaker 19 I almost respect what Pete's doing here. He's saying,

Speaker 19 if you haven't already been good, then you're one year away. Yeah.
And so, you can always be one year late to supporting a team, but you're never going to be one year early.

Speaker 43 So, he's not hating either.

Speaker 62 You know, he's like, he's remembering facts.

Speaker 33 Yeah, right.

Speaker 125 I'm not hating. I just think the expectations are out of this world for that team.
They really are.

Speaker 9 You have the Jaguars going to the Super Bowl.

Speaker 42 Who else does?

Speaker 99 No one.

Speaker 4 No one. Yeah, this is why you're the best.

Speaker 69 All right, so give us the NFC playoff teams, which is definitely harder to do because it does feel like if you had, I think the AFC has probably 10 teams that I could see conceivably winning the Super Bowl.

Speaker 5 The NFC might have two or three that I can conceivably see winning the Super Bowl.

Speaker 101 So give us the seven playoff teams from the NFC.

Speaker 125 Division winners: Eagles,

Speaker 125 Packers.

Speaker 125 Yes, the Packers are winning that division. The 49ers,

Speaker 125 and the Saints. Okay.
That's the division winners.

Speaker 62 Okay.

Speaker 125 Wild card,

Speaker 125 Dallas,

Speaker 125 Washington.

Speaker 19 Yeah, no, Pete's right about all these takes. Pete is

Speaker 126 on the money.

Speaker 20 Okay, okay.

Speaker 129 What is it with the commanders that you love?

Speaker 125 You look at that roster. That roster is loaded.
And you look, if you can rush with a front four, and Chase Young's going to have a big year when he gets back on that field.

Speaker 125 He's going to have a big year. That defense is going to be nasty.
Forbes is really good at corner to elevate the back end. Curl's

Speaker 125 one of the most underrated players in the NFL. You go to the offensive side, they've improved the offensive line, and the receivers are playmakers.

Speaker 125 And I think Sam Howell's better than people give him credit for.

Speaker 74 Yep.

Speaker 125 I think he's going to have a good year for them. It can't be any worse than they were at quarterback the last couple years.

Speaker 19 Okay, true. I mean, Taylor Heineke was all right.
Carson Wentz, that was just a disaster. He's painful to watch.
He's not going to play this year, is he?

Speaker 125 No.

Speaker 125 Maybe he'll play in that Spring League

Speaker 125 next year.

Speaker 19 I'm actually with you on the Commanders. I think they're going to be better than people think.
I disagree about Chase Young, though. I feel like the wheels are coming off with Chase Young.

Speaker 19 He can't stay on the field. I think it's been proven that Montez Sweat is a more effective, more productive player than Chase Young when he's playing.

Speaker 19 And yeah, he's into contract year, but I think in Chase Young's own mind, he's almost like in take care of my body so I can cash in mode. But I don't think he's done that calculation correctly.

Speaker 8 Yeah.

Speaker 52 He's done more.

Speaker 19 He hasn't done the calculation correctly because he hasn't 13 sacks.

Speaker 125 He hasn't been out there.

Speaker 19 He's on the field.

Speaker 125 He's going to get them.

Speaker 8 Yeah. He's going to get them.

Speaker 80 Okay. All right.

Speaker 4 So teams you left out, Giants.

Speaker 54 You're not a believer in the Giants. They added Darren Waller.
They obviously paid Daniel Jones.

Speaker 16 Brian Dable, I think, is

Speaker 101 a top 10, maybe top five coach for just what he did last year.

Speaker 54 Why are you so low on the Giants this year?

Speaker 125 No, I'm not low on them. I just think that division's tough.
And if you're going to put Washington in, that means the Giants are out. I don't think both of them can be in.

Speaker 125 The Giants are going to win seven, eight games, and they're going to be a competitive team. I don't think they're going to be much worse, but they also have some issues.

Speaker 125 They got two rookie corners starting. That's tough.
That's always tough. So there are issues with the Giants.
And by the way, I'm a big Dable guy. I think he's a great coach.

Speaker 89 Okay, and now I don't want to ask this question, but I have to ask this question because I feel like you're going to give me an answer I don't like.

Speaker 26 Justin Fields.

Speaker 125 No, you're going to like this answer. Okay.
I think this is the year before the year for Justin Fields. They added some weapons.
They added some weapons for him. He's going to improve as a passer.

Speaker 132 He's going to run less.

Speaker 125 As the rushing yards come down, the passing yards go up. That's a good thing for a young quarterback.
I love

Speaker 125 where they're headed. This is the year before the year.

Speaker 51 Do you know what's great about Pete?

Speaker 54 We're doing this year's preview and next year's.

Speaker 128 We don't have to have him back on next year.

Speaker 33 He's giving us all the teams next year.

Speaker 125 You always got to peek ahead.

Speaker 109 Yeah.

Speaker 131 All right. All right.

Speaker 133 I mean, I do think he's going to have a much better passing year just because, you know, people obviously pick him apart.

Speaker 136 He's a controversial quarterback.

Speaker 4 But the fact that he was, the guys he was throwing to last year, DJ Moore, makes everything so much easier.

Speaker 96 And it also slots in the guys behind him to play their natural position of Darnell Mooney, Chase Claypool, you know, Cole Komet.

Speaker 54 Like, I do think he's going to have a lot better year.

Speaker 96 I'm worried about the defense, the pass rush, but I think Justin Fields, like, he's going to do enough this year to get that extension, and everyone's going to be like, yeah, this is the franchise guy.

Speaker 125 I think he's a good passer when he has weapons. We saw that in college.
For everybody, it picks him apart because he ran so much.

Speaker 125 Look, I hate running quarterbacks, but you have to do it at a necessity sometimes. And he did.
Now he'll develop and stay in the pocket and go through his progressions and his reads.

Speaker 125 His rushing yardage will come down by two-thirds.

Speaker 42 Okay.

Speaker 125 He'll rush for 500, 700, 600 yards.

Speaker 115 And then what about the Vikings and the Seahawks?

Speaker 54 You have them out as well, two teams that made the playoffs last year.

Speaker 125 Well, the Vikings won so many close games last year. Were they that good? You know, when you win that many games, everything goes your way.
I do like Brian Flores as a defensive coordinator.

Speaker 125 But again, Kirk Cousins in the big moments. Don't you worry about that.
If you're a Vikings fan, they have to.

Speaker 19 But there's two sides to this, Pete. So you're saying that you don't trust the Vikings because they learned how to win too well last year.

Speaker 19 They spent all last year learning how to win.

Speaker 19 Right?

Speaker 19 Maybe they weren't that great, but they got an A-plus in learning how to win. So now they're educated in that.

Speaker 125 Well, they won to get to the playoffs, but they didn't win in the playoffs. So they didn't learn how to win quite how to win a playoff game.

Speaker 132 Peasants had a problem winning playoff games.

Speaker 19 He does have a problem with that, yeah.

Speaker 19 What about the Cowboys? They know how to win regular season games. They don't know how to win playoff games.
Does Dak suck?

Speaker 125 No,

Speaker 125 he doesn't suck. But this is a big year for Dak Prescott.
It's a big year for Mike McCarthy. They have to make the postseason.
If they don't make the playoffs,

Speaker 125 Mike McCarthy's probably gone, and Dak Prescott is in trouble. So, yeah, he has to play well.

Speaker 19 So I trust that defense, but there's something about the combo of McCarthy and Dak that just, I feel like the wheels are going to fall off this year.

Speaker 19 I feel like this is going to be the end of this era for the Cowboys.

Speaker 125 Why does everybody pick Mike McCarthy apart?

Speaker 125 I mean, if you look at his record and the way he's had success over the course of his career, he's no different than Sean Payton, and yet Sean Payton's elevated up here and Mike McCarthy's down here.

Speaker 125 I don't know if that's a good idea.

Speaker 102 You know the answer to that, Pete. You know the answer.

Speaker 47 He's fat.

Speaker 49 He's fat. He's a big guy.
He's fat.

Speaker 19 So when he makes mistakes,

Speaker 11 he looks dumber.

Speaker 18 Yeah, no, he has that look.

Speaker 36 Yeah, like Piety Satan,

Speaker 54 when he fucks up, he's fat and he has that look like he's just staring off into the distance, being like, what is going on right now?

Speaker 19 Sounds like there's like a tuba playing whenever he's on screen.

Speaker 11 Yeah.

Speaker 105 Boom, boom, boom.

Speaker 125 Mike McCarthy might be the most misunderstood guy in the NFL. Everybody, you look like you just described him.
He said, they're like that. Mike McCarthy's a tough guy from Pittsburgh.

Speaker 125 He isn't what you think he is.

Speaker 51 Oh, no, I know he's tough.

Speaker 101 I'm just saying, look, it's just how the world works.

Speaker 5 When fat guys make mistakes, they get blamed a little bit more because everyone's like, look, his fat, dumb brain isn't working.

Speaker 51 I have to deal with it all the time.

Speaker 125 Yeah, me too. I've had it my whole life.
Yeah. Yeah.
Little fat guy.

Speaker 70 Well, no, when you make a mistake, it's like, oh, the short guy's trying to take over Europe again.

Speaker 125 Yeah, that's

Speaker 33 that's that's that's what you get.

Speaker 91 Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 80 Um, all right, so why are you low on Geno Smith?

Speaker 87 I'm actually, I've become a converted Geno Smith believer.

Speaker 119 His weapons are incredible.

Speaker 54 Uh, you know, DK, Tyler Lockett, Jackson Smith, Najigma, like, they're going to be able to pass the ball.

Speaker 96 Why are you not believing?

Speaker 16 And by the way, the Seahawks defense, like, they have some phenomenal young guys on their defense.

Speaker 125 The young guy. Yeah, they're young guys.
And if they take the step forward and Geno plays like he did last year, they could replace one of those teams.

Speaker 125 I had a hard time, you know, with the last wildcard team. They're going to be in the mix because I'm with you.
But Geno's got to show he can do it again.

Speaker 112 Okay.

Speaker 15 Yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 19 It's true. Can you give us a quarterback that maybe nobody is expecting anything out of that you think is either going to take that next step or surprise everybody?

Speaker 125 I think Sam Howell's going to surprise everybody.

Speaker 19 So, yeah, so you did you watch this tape from North Carolina?

Speaker 138 Yes.

Speaker 19 So he had that really good second to last season, and then they made him run the ball more in his last season.

Speaker 52 That was ridiculous.

Speaker 125 I don't understand what they did with him. He's actually had playmakers outside.

Speaker 125 I never quite understood what they did with him.

Speaker 125 I'm telling you, he has a little chip on his shoulder, too. He's one of those guys.

Speaker 125 Another quarterback is going to surprise everybody? Jordan Love.

Speaker 33 Oh, okay. I don't like that.

Speaker 31 I don't like that.

Speaker 19 The thing I don't like about Sam Howell, though, is, I don't know if you know this, Pete. He doesn't eat red meat.

Speaker 28 Neither does Justin Fields.

Speaker 49 Yeah, it's a big question, Mark.

Speaker 70 We should do that in solidarity with our guys.

Speaker 19 Just stop eating red meat.

Speaker 33 I would never do that.

Speaker 125 So he doesn't eat a lot of things, though, right?

Speaker 125 Sam Howell?

Speaker 33 Sam Howell, I don't know.

Speaker 19 I know that he eats chicken. He eats a lot of chicken.
And he tried steak for the first time this offseason. He said it was okay.
But

Speaker 13 he doesn't eat it, eat it.

Speaker 19 And I feel like that's a red flag for a quarterback.

Speaker 125 He's trying to be healthy. Justin Fields is a vegetarian, I think, isn't he?

Speaker 107 He eats fish now.

Speaker 125 No big deal. Oh, he does.
So he advanced to the fish in the water. Okay, I get it.
Public shellfish. Does he eat that too?

Speaker 45 Yeah, I'm sure.

Speaker 89 I'm sure he's housing some lobster every now and then.

Speaker 27 Crabs.

Speaker 125 Going through your whole life eating leafy greens? Yeah.

Speaker 132 I mean, come on.

Speaker 19 It's no way to live. No.

Speaker 19 What about Deshaun?

Speaker 125 Are you a believer in Deshaun? Did you last a week

Speaker 125 eating leafy greens?

Speaker 80 No, I don't.

Speaker 5 I think about my diet and I'm like,

Speaker 70 there hasn't been a day in probably 20 years where I didn't have some type of meat.

Speaker 125 I don't eat a lot of meat. I'll be honest with you.
I don't eat a lot of meat. That's a lie.

Speaker 125 You get fat shamed every Saturday by Booger. Yeah, I know what he does to you.

Speaker 26 It's bullshit, and that's a lie.

Speaker 125 Can a man eat a couple donuts?

Speaker 112 Bouger?

Speaker 89 You brush your teeth with Italian sausage.

Speaker 70 I know you, Pete.

Speaker 19 I know you well. He showers with gravy.
Yeah.

Speaker 125 Oh, you guys went there.

Speaker 19 Well, actually, Pete, maybe if you ate some more meat, you'd be a little bit stronger.

Speaker 54 You'd be able to do more push-ups.

Speaker 58 I've heard that your push-up games are...

Speaker 125 I'm not lifting hard anymore. I'm done with that.
The doctor told me to quit it.

Speaker 80 Oh, okay. All right.

Speaker 2 So, wait, Pete, Pete, I want to do this real quick because you do watch the film, and this is educational for our listeners and viewers.

Speaker 25 Let's rank some position groups.

Speaker 128 Give me your top three offensive lines in the NFL:

Speaker 140 Eagles.

Speaker 116 Okay.

Speaker 125 The Cowboys when they're healthy.

Speaker 116 Okay.

Speaker 125 Everybody's got to be healthy.

Speaker 125 The Chiefs.

Speaker 21 Ooh, okay.

Speaker 52 What about Smiths?

Speaker 125 Because the Chiefs' interior is outstanding. They paid a bunch of money for Jawan Taylor at right-tack when they got a veteran at left-tackled Smith.

Speaker 125 So I think that that's one of the best lines in the league.

Speaker 19 Are you concerned about the Chiefs' defensive line?

Speaker 125 Very much so. If Chris Jones is not there, major problem.
Because he's the game wrecker, makes everybody else better. They have problems.
And so, yeah, if he's not there, very concerned.

Speaker 19 So it's very concerning for you. The Detroit Lions also have a very talented offensive line.

Speaker 19 They're matched up against the Chiefs week one, but you're a Detroit Lions hater, so you don't think that the the Lions have a shot?

Speaker 125 No, they have a shot, but I just think Mahomes is going to be Mahomes, Andy Reed's going to be Andy Reid, and they're going to score a boatload of points.

Speaker 125 He proved last year he could throw to us three and score points.

Speaker 134 That's true.

Speaker 87 All right, so give us the reverse, actually.

Speaker 128 Let's do it this way: bottom three offensive lines, because these are the teams that we should all be selling on and fading because offensive line play is so important.

Speaker 19 Who have the three weakest offensive lines?

Speaker 125 New England's one of them. Okay, their line stinks.

Speaker 125 Miami's line is concerning. Okay.
And Tampa Bay could be a problem. Okay.

Speaker 21 Okay.

Speaker 19 What about Deshaun? You think that this is bounce back year for Deshaun?

Speaker 125 I do. I don't think it's going to be Deshaun from the Houston days in terms of what he does on the field.

Speaker 125 But he's going to be much better than the guy we saw last year. That team has a ton of talent.
across the board.

Speaker 125 If he plays anywhere close to what he did in Houston, which is why I think he will, I think there'll be a playoff team.

Speaker 63 Okay.

Speaker 51 What about give us your

Speaker 6 best and worst defensive lines?

Speaker 125 Best and worst defensive line. Well, Arizona's defensive line is a problem, but you can say that about every position with that team.

Speaker 33 A problem in like

Speaker 76 a bad way. Yeah.

Speaker 49 Not in like a problem to game plan against.

Speaker 125 They're tanking.

Speaker 125 No, it's a bad way. They're tanking in Arizona.
I don't care what they say. They're going to get rid of Kyle Murray and draft Caleb Williams.

Speaker 125 That's the plan.

Speaker 19 What do you think about Coach Gannon? Do you think that he's a one-year guy? He gives me one-year vibes just from the get-go.

Speaker 125 Yeah, but you know what? They said the same thing about Shane Steichen after his opening press conference. I don't buy into all that.

Speaker 125 Oh, how does he portray himself? There's the team meetings and everything.

Speaker 125 No, I don't. We have no idea.

Speaker 116 Okay. All right.

Speaker 75 Other

Speaker 100 two, give us some more defensive lines, both good and bad.

Speaker 125 Defensive lines that are really good. Yeah.
49ers. Yeah.
Great defensive line. The Cowboys have a chance to be really good on the defensive line.

Speaker 125 Now that Parsons is playing with his hand down, most are on the edge.

Speaker 125 I'm just trying to think off the top of my head. Oh, the Jets.
The Jets are loaded on the defensive line.

Speaker 125 And Quinn Williams is a superstar, but they have a ton of players. They can rotate in and out of there.
They're going to come after people.

Speaker 19 What do you think about the Jets' offensive line?

Speaker 141 Problem.

Speaker 112 Problem. Big problem.

Speaker 125 You're asking an aging left tackle to hold up, and you got Makai Beckton at right tackle, which is still a major question mark. So they have issues on that offensive line.

Speaker 31 All right, can you power rank the rookie quarterbacks?

Speaker 125 One, Bryce Young.

Speaker 23 Okay.

Speaker 125 Two,

Speaker 125 from an excitement standpoint, Anthony Richardson, and then C.J. Stroud.

Speaker 52 I think CJ

Speaker 52 Levis. I think C.J.

Speaker 101 Stroud will have the best year of the rookie quarterbacks.

Speaker 8 I think Bryce Young will have the best career of the rookie quarterbacks.

Speaker 125 Why do you think that?

Speaker 37 I think Bryce Young has a lot.

Speaker 54 It's going to be tough for the Panthers this year.

Speaker 133 And I think C.J.

Speaker 137 Stroud is going to be better in this year and this year only.

Speaker 125 So I think Anthony Richardson is going to have like a Justin Fields type of year where he rushes for 900 yards and makes plays that way.

Speaker 125 So from that standpoint, I just think he's going to put up big numbers in the rushing game, which will help make him the better player than C.J. Stroud.
Stroud's a better passer right now.

Speaker 19 Yeah. What about the Steelers? We haven't really talked about the Steelers at at all.
It feels like they're flying under the radar this year. Nobody expects anything out of them.

Speaker 19 People forget Mike Tomlin has never gone under 500.

Speaker 125 They're right there. I mean, like I said, they could win the division.
Anybody can win that division. I'm a big picket guy, and I think he's gotten a lot better.
You saw that in the summer.

Speaker 125 He's much more confident, and I think

Speaker 125 they can push for the division. They can be a playoff team.
It's just, you got to put teams in and out.

Speaker 125 Did you guys have the Steelers in the playoffs?

Speaker 19 Yeah, in one of my picks that I did.

Speaker 4 Yeah, in in the AFC, my playoff teams are Bills, Jets, Dolphins, Steelers, Ravens, Bengals, Chargers, Chiefs,

Speaker 142 Titans, and Jaguars.

Speaker 8 Those are my playoffs.

Speaker 126 You got them all in. Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 33 No, it's going to be a great year for the AFC.

Speaker 33 They're going to be the first.

Speaker 125 It'd be like college football. Everybody makes it.

Speaker 19 Yeah, there should be bowl games in the NFL. We've talked about that before.
How great it would be if they tacked in one game at the end of the season.

Speaker 125 There used to be a loser. You know, there used to be a losers' bowl back in the day.

Speaker 52 Oh, really?

Speaker 19 The third place game?

Speaker 125 It was the two losers from the conferences would go play a loser bowl in Miami.

Speaker 38 Yeah, I should look it up.

Speaker 49 I love that idea.

Speaker 75 We shouldn't talk about bowl games around Pete because his team can't go to a bowl game.

Speaker 117 Oh, why not, Pete? What happened?

Speaker 125 Well, they're not very good anyways.

Speaker 109 But even if you were good, you wouldn't go to a bowl game.

Speaker 125 Well, I wouldn't go to me, I wouldn't go to a bowl game if you paid me to go to a bowl game unless it's playing for a national championship or something. What are you going to go see?

Speaker 125 The Tostitos

Speaker 125 hot dog bowl or whatever they call them.

Speaker 47 That'd be a great bowl game. Sounds good.
I would go to that.

Speaker 125 Don't you guys have a bowl game?

Speaker 58 It sounds like

Speaker 19 an awesome menu item at Bob Evans, the Tostitos Hot Dog Bowl.

Speaker 33 Bullmans are fun.

Speaker 125 Put a little hot dog in it.

Speaker 75 Yeah.

Speaker 75 Well, to be fair,

Speaker 19 Big Cat's being a little bit unfair to you, Pete, because that's a self-imposed bowl game suspension.

Speaker 19 So you guys would probably make one, but you're just saying, hey, for the record, we're not going to go.

Speaker 125 They're not making one either. They beat Southern Utah 24-21 the other day.

Speaker 16 Tell me, wins a win.

Speaker 125 Can you imagine going to that game? There was a two and a half hour delay. You're winning 24-7 or something.
And then they come back after a two-year-old.

Speaker 125 It got over at 1 o'clock in the morning, Arizona time.

Speaker 19 All right, so, Pete, give me your offensive player of the year and your defensive player of the year.

Speaker 47 I like this.

Speaker 125 Is it MVP or Offensive Player of the Year?

Speaker 19 Offensive Player of the Year.

Speaker 101 He said the question correctly.

Speaker 125 Okay.

Speaker 125 Justin Jefferson will will be the offensive player of the year,

Speaker 125 and Micah Parsons will be the defensive player.

Speaker 19 We are doing last year's picks this year, and then we're previewing next year's picks this year. Yes.

Speaker 125 Awesome. So, okay, for next year.

Speaker 22 You really want me to go? Yeah.

Speaker 125 You got to peek ahead. It's like doing a salary cap.
You got to look ahead.

Speaker 54 All right, so here's a question I got for you, Pete.

Speaker 17 What is the next

Speaker 108 zag in the league when it comes to how teams play?

Speaker 29 How do you see, like, some team figuring out a way to play against how football has gone where it's you know passing all the time and these wide open offenses?

Speaker 16 What is the antidote to that?

Speaker 1 Is there a team specifically and a scheme specifically that you see coming along the pipeline?

Speaker 125 No, running the ball is going to come back.

Speaker 125 Running backs aren't going to come back, but running the ball is going to come back. Everybody's played the schemes last year were off coverage.
Make quarterbacks be patient. So what do you do?

Speaker 125 Pound it, pound it, pound it. And it doesn't necessarily have to be out of those bunched-up formations, but you run the ball, get them out of that defense, and then throw over the top.

Speaker 125 So I think the running attacks will come back in vogue a little bit this year.

Speaker 33 I like that.

Speaker 19 Yeah, Pete, you know, there was a lot of talk this offseason about running backs and how it's the death of the position and they're not getting paid anymore.

Speaker 19 And everyone's wondering, when did this happen? How did this happen? It's actually you. You were the first person that I remember saying, never pay a running back any money whatsoever.

Speaker 73 Do you feel bad?

Speaker 19 You've taken food off of Jonathan Taylor's table?

Speaker 125 No, I said that, what, a decade ago? Maybe even longer than that. Yeah.
They don't decide Super Bowls. They just don't.
They're interchangeable.

Speaker 125 And the great one isn't that much difference than the next guy down the list. It's just different.
It's a different game now.

Speaker 13 I would disagree.

Speaker 131 Am I responsible?

Speaker 33 Yeah.

Speaker 125 They just caught up to me. The NFL GM finally caught up to me.

Speaker 67 They usually do.

Speaker 131 I'm a little ahead of them most of the time.

Speaker 19 But think about it this way. Derrick Henry, if Derrick Henry has, if he wasn't on the Titans for the last three seasons,

Speaker 19 they would be a bad team with an average running back. But they had Derrick Henry, who's the best in the league, and they were a playoff team because of him.

Speaker 125 And they got what? Did they have a parade in Nashville?

Speaker 125 Did I miss a parade? They don't win Super Bowls. I think the last first-round pick to win a Super Bowl as a a homegrown runner

Speaker 125 was Jamal Lewis, maybe? I don't think he was a first-round pick. I mean, it's been a long time.

Speaker 19 So

Speaker 19 when the Lions took Gibbs and

Speaker 19 the Falcons took Robinson in the first round, did you throw up?

Speaker 125 Yes.

Speaker 42 I did.

Speaker 125 It was disgusting. You take a running back that high.
Look, and they're good players, but what's the philosophy?

Speaker 125 Draft them, run them into the ground, and then four years later you draft another one and don't pay that one. Look at the Chiefs.

Speaker 125 The Chiefs found Pacheco in the seventh round and won a Super Bowl with him. You don't need a premier elite running back, and that's why they're not getting paid.

Speaker 125 Who's the last guy to get paid? Elliott?

Speaker 33 Oh, well, Christian McCaffrey.

Speaker 74 Christian McCaffrey.

Speaker 138 Yeah.

Speaker 125 He's a little different, which is why the Gibbs pick is interesting because he's an airback. He catches the ball.
They can slot him out. They can, like McCaffrey does.

Speaker 125 It's a little different, different style of runner.

Speaker 115 What's a team that everyone's low on that you could see, maybe not, maybe they're not even a playoff team, but being, they're better than what people are prognosticating going into the season.

Speaker 62 Green Bay.

Speaker 105 Okay, that hurts.

Speaker 49 Okay. Why? You like Jordan Lee?

Speaker 38 I knew you didn't like that.

Speaker 99 You like Jordan Love?

Speaker 37 Why do you like Jordan Love?

Speaker 125 You know, his tape coming out was great. I'll be honest with you.
I didn't love it. I think sitting for three years has helped him.

Speaker 125 And going there and watching him practice this summer, and I know it's his practice, but he's got a different feel to him.

Speaker 125 And then talking to the players, he's got a little of that crap inside of him that you didn't know he had.

Speaker 125 So I think that, combined with the fact he has a good arm, he's comfortable in the offense. The defense is going to be really good,

Speaker 125 by the way. And if the offensive line stays healthy, and again, big if with Bach Diari at left tackle, they're going to be good up front.
So

Speaker 125 I think they have the talent to win that division. And Christian Watson is going to put up monster numbers.

Speaker 70 Yeah, he's a problem. He is a problem.

Speaker 19 I keep going to the fact that you have the Jaguars in the Super Bowl this year.

Speaker 125 Trevor Lawrence for MVP, too.

Speaker 19 We love Jags fans. We do jag off every year.
It seems like we jag off and then they never finish. You know, we get close, but we never finish.

Speaker 19 And I hope that you're right for Uncle Chaps and the rest of Jaguar's nation out there. It would be very funny to see them in the Super Bowl.

Speaker 19 And if they won a Super Bowl, I feel like you have to give a ring to Urban Meyer.

Speaker 52 No, that's the animal work.

Speaker 19 He's the architect of this team, Pete.

Speaker 125 He isn't the architect of the team. No, he isn't.
He built this team. He was a disaster.

Speaker 125 He was one of the worst NFL coaches I've ever seen in my entire life. And the stories are just endless that come out of there about that guy.

Speaker 19 Yeah, do you have an Urban Meyer story that we haven't heard yet? Because I love...

Speaker 19 It feels like every six months we get another Urban Meyer story.

Speaker 125 No, I mean,

Speaker 125 I know some, but I know my personal interaction with him wasn't great. What was that? I went up there.
I didn't know him. I didn't know him at all.

Speaker 125 But I went up there and was going to try and get him on camera for an on-camera interview, and they didn't make him available.

Speaker 125 And what happened was they said, okay, you can walk over to him and say hello to him and

Speaker 125 introduce yourself. So I walked over, I said, hey, I'm Pete Prisco.
I shook my hand. I used to cover this team years ago, used to live here over there, where you're living, just making small tar.

Speaker 125 I said, I work with Brady Quinn, who works with him at Fox. Oh, okay, okay.

Speaker 125 And then I was going to ask him some football questions, and he shakes my hand and he goes, I got to win, and he ran off.

Speaker 11 Oh, I got to win. I got to win.

Speaker 13 I got to win.

Speaker 125 And he ran off.

Speaker 71 That's great.

Speaker 125 He's one of the most socially awkward guys I've ever talked to in this life.

Speaker 19 I'm going to start using that to get out of conversations.

Speaker 15 Yeah, I got to go win.

Speaker 33 Hey,

Speaker 8 sorry.

Speaker 88 Great talking talking to you, but I gotta go win real quick.

Speaker 125 I'm like, what?

Speaker 125 I went back and told the guy standing over there. I go, you can't believe he just did that to me.

Speaker 132 What an awkward man.

Speaker 19 All right, Pete, well, we appreciate the time. We got to go win.

Speaker 88 Yeah, we got to go win. I got one last question.

Speaker 117 Ball's here. Kids are back in school.
Vacations are over, and cozy season is officially on. You know what that means? Bombus season is on.

Speaker 117 Bombas makes the most comfortable socks ever, and they even make slippers, tees, underwear, all crafted from premium materials.

Speaker 117 Perfect for this time of year and cozying cozying up for football watching. Their slippers are also Sherpa lined, which feels like you're walking on the clouds.

Speaker 74 Give us the final four

Speaker 5 and your Super Bowl champion because you have the Jags, but we don't know who's going to win the Super Bowl, according to Pete Prisco.

Speaker 125 My final four is the Jacksonville Jaguars against the Buffalo Bills.

Speaker 112 Okay.

Speaker 125 The San Francisco 49ers against the Philadelphia Eagles.

Speaker 105 Okay.

Speaker 125 49ers

Speaker 125 beat the Eagles in San Francisco because they have a favorable division. And Jacksonville beats Buffalo in Jacksonville.

Speaker 128 And then the 49ers, Kyle Shanahan, finally wins his ring and is anointed the best coach in the league.

Speaker 138 Yes.

Speaker 58 Okay. All right.

Speaker 125 By the way, one bone to pick with you two. Yeah.
I made that comment about kickers on your show, and next thing I know, you're selling shirts with my slogan on it.

Speaker 19 What was the slogan? Make your damn kicks.

Speaker 49 Make your damn kicks.

Speaker 132 Yeah.

Speaker 105 Yeah.

Speaker 8 All right.

Speaker 89 Checks in the mail.

Speaker 19 We'll send you a shirt. Yeah.

Speaker 105 What size do you wear?

Speaker 125 I'd rather have the shirt.

Speaker 105 Okay.

Speaker 101 Well, great. Because that check was going to be for like $30,000.

Speaker 131 No, it wasn't.

Speaker 42 I just pulled it.

Speaker 105 Too bad, Pete.

Speaker 80 You got the shirt.

Speaker 33 We'll make you an extra one.

Speaker 125 It was like door number one or door number two.

Speaker 132 I got the shirt instead of the 30 grand.

Speaker 41 Yeah, we'll throw in an extra shirt being like,

Speaker 34 I passed up $30,000 and all I got was this shirt.

Speaker 112 It's perfect.

Speaker 66 You'll be selling that too.

Speaker 49 Yeah. True.
All right, Pete.

Speaker 54 You're the best.

Speaker 101 We'll talk to you again during the season.

Speaker 25 Thank you for the hot takes.

Speaker 96 Go find Pete on Twitter and CBS Sports.

Speaker 16 He is the best.

Speaker 108 It is newly minted New York Jet, Dalvin Cook.

Speaker 88 We are a pro running back podcast.

Speaker 77 I want to start there, Dalvin.

Speaker 5 I want to actually begin with, did you join the Zoom when all the running backs decided to get together on a Zoom and be like, why aren't we getting paid enough money?

Speaker 138 Yeah, I was part of that the whole thing.

Speaker 43 Okay.

Speaker 33 And what was,

Speaker 101 we were joking about it because we're like, I don't really know.

Speaker 54 Like, at some point, you have to join a Zoom.

Speaker 37 It feels like it's work now.

Speaker 4 Did we get any progress?

Speaker 147 Because if you have a message that we need to say to everyone about the running backs we're here to do that for you i think it's kind of clear to be honest like you know everybody knows certainty of the position right now like it's a vulnerable like it's a vulnerable spot to be in like to be the running back right now like like everybody kind of know that and you kind of seeing the situation though unravel like you see the situation going down to indie you know you got one of the best young guys that's trying to you know get what he deserve and i think it all comes down to how you know ownership and the people in the building value us.

Speaker 130 And I just think that's where we're at right now.

Speaker 152 So I think the meeting kind of just got our voices out there and just got it to some of the people we needed to get it to.

Speaker 153 But like, I feel like, you know, we're still at that spot where, like, you know, something got to be done.

Speaker 24 Yeah, I mean, one idea we came up with, I don't know if it was discussed on the Zoom, but what if running backs just stopped blocking for quarterbacks?

Speaker 101 What if you stopped picking up blitzes?

Speaker 69 Feels like they'd pay you more after that.

Speaker 153 Kind of hard, man. You know, when you love ball so much, especially

Speaker 145 in my position. You got a Hall of Famer back there.

Speaker 154 You got to block it.

Speaker 153 You got a Hall of Famer back there.

Speaker 147 You got to blob for that guy, man.

Speaker 112 Okay. Yeah.

Speaker 9 You got to block.

Speaker 19 What if there's no franchise tag for the running back position?

Speaker 147 That'd be cool right there.

Speaker 151 Like, be honest.

Speaker 153 I think we're one of the positions that I think should not be on a tag.

Speaker 57 I think

Speaker 146 the beating that we take,

Speaker 138 the overload, if you're one of those great and one of those special players, you get the the overload.

Speaker 145 You get 400 touches a year, damn near.

Speaker 153 So it's like, no, I think we shouldn't, we shouldn't be able to get a tag.

Speaker 150 I think so.

Speaker 19 I mean, the tag probably shouldn't exist in general.

Speaker 19 It's it's kind of weird how they came up with that whole idea. Now you have to play under it.
Or running backs just don't get drafted. You become free agents the moment that you step out of college.

Speaker 19 You get to decide where to go, go to the highest bidder.

Speaker 153 That's different. I haven't seen it from that.

Speaker 131 That's a good one.

Speaker 131 Yeah.

Speaker 8 That's a good one.

Speaker 158 But I don't know.

Speaker 151 Like, you just had you just had two, two guys going the first round this year, with two of them.

Speaker 112 Yeah.

Speaker 138 Right?

Speaker 151 Like, two of them go.

Speaker 154 They got some of the money that they deserve.

Speaker 138 You know what I'm saying?

Speaker 145 Like, you know, you got a rookie making all this money, you know, more than some of the guys that have been putting in the league.

Speaker 138 But it's like, I'm happy for him.

Speaker 145 You know what I'm saying? Like, just to see him getting some money.

Speaker 154 But I got a little brother in the league. So I'm just.

Speaker 153 you know, I'm just trying to set the narrative straight.

Speaker 145 Like, you know what I'm saying?

Speaker 140 Like, he work his butt off.

Speaker 153 He, he do everything right.

Speaker 19 You know, he's going ball out so i i just feel like he should get what he deserved yeah so um yeah you you mentioned your little brother did that have anything to do with you going in the division to the jets that you get to play him twice a year now i just think like when the thing really unfolded of me you know being a free agent like i think that was really

Speaker 157 did that was on the table for me like to join that division like the dolphins or the jets or just to go play on the division like i don't know how it came down to that so quick but that's what it it was.

Speaker 145 Like, it unfolded real quick.

Speaker 144 And, like, we kind of knew when he was down there training with me, like, all right, I might end up in the same division as you.

Speaker 151 And

Speaker 154 nonchalant as he as he be, like, all right, so

Speaker 33 yeah.

Speaker 108 Now, you can be honest with us.

Speaker 4 Uh, you signed with the Jets mid-August.

Speaker 54 Did you do that?

Speaker 29 Because it's like, hey, I don't really want to go to all of camp because that would be a really smart decision where it's like, let me take a little bit of time.

Speaker 88 I, I am a running back.

Speaker 158 I i do get the wear and tear i can i can pick a team that i want because you're such a value asset were you were you making sure that you took enough time that you didn't have to maybe do like the really shitty days of camp no i wasn't really like looking at it like that but like no now that it unfolded like that like you know what i'm saying like camp is camp like i know what i'm getting out of camp like i i could get better in camp man you could Some things could happen that you don't want to happen.

Speaker 154 So, but like, I wasn't really thinking like that. It was really like a tough decision coming down to it.

Speaker 148 Like, you know what I'm saying, where I wanted to place my family and put us in the best position to go be successful.

Speaker 153 It's like, you know, I knew nothing outside of Minnesota.

Speaker 145 So it was like, all right, let's go weigh my options.

Speaker 151 Let's go take a visit to the Jets.

Speaker 145 Let's go, you know, see what teams are talking about. And I think when I took my visit, I kind of sold things up.

Speaker 138 But

Speaker 153 nah, I actually just had a kid two days ago.

Speaker 42 I was kind of waiting, trying to, trying to figure this thing out.

Speaker 57 Yeah. Yeah, I didn't appreciate it.

Speaker 154 I just didn't want to like jump to conclusion and just like,

Speaker 146 you know, kind of miss his birth and do things like that.

Speaker 151 So I was kind of holding it off as long as I could. But

Speaker 154 we're great people in a facility in New York.

Speaker 159 They kind of let me go back and

Speaker 148 enjoy that time with him.

Speaker 42 It was hard.

Speaker 3 You had a boy?

Speaker 19 Yes. Yeah.

Speaker 19 Congrats, man. That's awesome.
Would you let your son play running back if that time comes?

Speaker 62 Oh.

Speaker 84 No?

Speaker 19 What position would you say?

Speaker 138 It was a big baby, man.

Speaker 149 I don't know.

Speaker 138 We might go be hooping or something.

Speaker 71 Yeah, I was going to say, power forward is the answer.

Speaker 145 Yeah, man, I'll be seeing these contracts come out.

Speaker 112 I'll be like, oh, man,

Speaker 154 I think I'm in the wrong sport.

Speaker 47 Yes, yes, yes, absolutely.

Speaker 41 So what was it that sold you on the Jets?

Speaker 54 Was it Rogers? Was it the coach?

Speaker 5 What was the final thing that you're like, this is where I need to be?

Speaker 153 It was the whole thing, man. Like, really, just the feel of it, to be honest.

Speaker 154 I came on my visit.

Speaker 153 Like, I had no idea what I was...

Speaker 145 what I was walking into.

Speaker 138 And

Speaker 153 I talked to some guys that done been here in the building. All I heard was great things.

Speaker 150 Like, they take care of their guys, they take care of their guys.

Speaker 138 And I just kept hearing that repeated, repeated, repeated, repeated. And, you know, I got here and the visit just, you know, everybody enjoyed theirself.

Speaker 138 We got a good feel of, you know, who they was as an organization. You know, they got a good feel of who I was as a person.

Speaker 145 You know, the film already spoke for what I could give you on the field.

Speaker 153 But like, just sitting down with those meetings, you know, with headman and everybody, it was a great visit.

Speaker 145 And like you said, the roster roster itself speaks for itself.

Speaker 151 You know, you dig deep into it.

Speaker 159 When I played these guys last year, the defense is defense.

Speaker 138 They rolled in those guys.

Speaker 153 They got a great defense.

Speaker 138 And I think with the young running back room that we got and just add me with that veteran presence, just helping these guys make more plays on the field.

Speaker 159 And like you said, you got ADAC quarterback.

Speaker 152 You got the offensive rookie of the year.

Speaker 154 I'd have played with some great receivers. I'm lucky enough to go play with another great one.

Speaker 138 So

Speaker 153 it was a no-brainer for me.

Speaker 3 Yeah, Rogers is a great guy.

Speaker 137 I've never said a bad word about him.

Speaker 29 I mean, he's

Speaker 70 a selfless teammate, just great leader.

Speaker 96 You got a chance to win with him.

Speaker 153 Yeah, like I said, it was a no-brainer.

Speaker 146 I played against that for six years, so I wasn't trying to be on the opposite side of it no more.

Speaker 116 Yeah.

Speaker 152 Let's be friends now.

Speaker 42 Yeah.

Speaker 9 Yes, that's how I feel.

Speaker 10 Yeah.

Speaker 19 Did you watch any of the hard knocks?

Speaker 75 I haven't watched it. You didn't watch it?

Speaker 19 Because my theory was that you saw the episode where they brought in the Mentalists, and the Mintilist guy asked for a prediction on who's going to win the Super Bowl and they turned over a card that said the Jets are going to beat the 49ers in the Super Bowl.

Speaker 19 My theory was that you watched that and you were like, oh shit, this guy says that the Jets are going to win the Super Bowl. I need to be on that team, but you haven't watched it yet.

Speaker 146 Nah, I ain't believing in what he got to say.

Speaker 39 I ain't, no, I ain't, I ain't watched it.

Speaker 154 To be honest, I didn't even watch that episode.

Speaker 147 I might need to go watch it, but

Speaker 154 I haven't watched none of them yet.

Speaker 39 to be honest.

Speaker 19 It's going to blow your mind when you watch it. Yeah, you're going to believe.
You're going to be like, okay, well, that's going to happen. We're going to

Speaker 156 I think it's going to happen.

Speaker 154 We got the pieces to make it happen.

Speaker 153 But, you know, this lead is

Speaker 151 a, you know, put the product on the field.

Speaker 154 Let's play each Sunday, Monday, whatever we play.

Speaker 138 Let's go do it.

Speaker 151 You got to go out there and prove it.

Speaker 23 So, well,

Speaker 37 I got another thing that believes in the Jets.

Speaker 51 Do you believe in ghosts?

Speaker 54 Very important question.

Speaker 138 Ghosts.

Speaker 33 Yeah.

Speaker 39 This is a good one.

Speaker 42 I'm going to go with it.

Speaker 159 Because I,

Speaker 151 well, you can't see ghosts. You probably just can hear them.

Speaker 144 But I've never heard of seen a ghost.

Speaker 154 So I'm going to say, no, I never experienced it in my 28 years of living.

Speaker 63 Okay, wrong answer.

Speaker 119 Ghosts are real.

Speaker 5 And

Speaker 74 a friend of ours, a colleague of ours, bought a house in Chicago, and he has a ghost in the house.

Speaker 5 And the ghost told me to bet the Jets Super Bowl.

Speaker 108 So you should start believing in ghosts.

Speaker 146 So what type of ghost is this?

Speaker 158 What he died at a casino?

Speaker 33 No, he was a gambling ghost.

Speaker 4 Yeah, we were talking to him.

Speaker 129 He was hitting this beeper thing.

Speaker 4 And I said, and we said Jets Super Bowl, and he hit it.

Speaker 63 And it's like,

Speaker 92 it's a ghost.

Speaker 80 How can you not trust a ghost?

Speaker 75 A ghost knows all.

Speaker 145 You talk to the ghost, too. You talk to the ghost, too.

Speaker 119 Oh, I talked to the ghost directly.

Speaker 18 Yes.

Speaker 112 Yeah.

Speaker 33 Oh, yeah.

Speaker 38 Telling you. Dude,

Speaker 99 start believing in ghosts.

Speaker 138 I'm starting to see the trend, man.

Speaker 130 Everything leads right up to it. Everybody sell the Jets in the Super Bowl.

Speaker 38 I'm starting to see the trend.

Speaker 112 Yeah.

Speaker 58 Ghosts, even dead people.

Speaker 33 Yes, exactly.

Speaker 63 There you go. Converted ghost belief.

Speaker 19 You believe in ghosts. You're a smart man.
You can't deny it. You can't deny that if a ghost is on your side, you take all the support you can get, right?

Speaker 49 Yes.

Speaker 75 That's it.

Speaker 75 Keep it going.

Speaker 19 So you believe in ghosts. We believe in a former teammate of yours, Jameis Winston.
We feel like Jameis is maybe the most entertaining quarterback to watch in the NFL. He's so fun.

Speaker 19 And you used to play with him. He's a big, rah-rah speech guy.
We've all seen the Eat the W thing.

Speaker 19 What was it like playing with James in college?

Speaker 151 It was cool, man.

Speaker 158 Like, he was coming off his hospital year.

Speaker 148 They had to won a national championship in 13.

Speaker 153 I get that in 14.

Speaker 138 And

Speaker 153 it's cool, man.

Speaker 138 Like,

Speaker 153 everything's great.

Speaker 159 Like, he had his hiccup.

Speaker 146 Like, you know what I'm saying?

Speaker 147 A couple of situations he got into.

Speaker 154 But, like, it was never nothing like.

Speaker 152 more than that.

Speaker 145 I think he evolved over the years as he got in the league with the speeches and all that because he never did that with us.

Speaker 145 He'll give us a speech, but it'd be like, all right, let's go play.

Speaker 57 Right.

Speaker 138 It wasn't like nothing out of the ordinary, but like,

Speaker 138 it was cool, man.

Speaker 138 That's my guy, man.

Speaker 153 Like, I don't know.

Speaker 147 Like, he have his moments. Like, and it'd be like, hold up.

Speaker 147 What's happening right now?

Speaker 153 And I don't know.

Speaker 154 Like, it was cool, man. Like, we went to the playoffs.

Speaker 151 We had a great year. Like, unfortunately, we lost the organ that year in the playoffs, but

Speaker 151 I don't know, man.

Speaker 11 What about the time?

Speaker 101 Are you specifically talking about the time?

Speaker 29 I think it was when you were there when he was suspended for a half and he came out in full uniform and Jimbo was like, dude,

Speaker 6 yeah, it was like, Jimbo, what Jimbo was like, dude, what do you think suspended means?

Speaker 37 Did you talk to him after you're like, man, that was screwed up.

Speaker 24 They didn't let you play.

Speaker 20 That was one of my favorite Jameis clips.

Speaker 9 He just wanted to play ball.

Speaker 154 Yeah, it was kind of weird, though, because I kind of felt where he was coming from.

Speaker 149 And like, Jimbo did tell him he was suspended in front of the team.

Speaker 146 It was a situation where he had the little situation where he stood up and said something.

Speaker 9 Fucker and the pussy.

Speaker 112 Yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 138 When he said that.

Speaker 159 And it kind of went viral.

Speaker 39 And the NCAA called right like the day before the game.

Speaker 148 And we were in a meeting.

Speaker 138 Jimbo told him he was suspended for a half, but I guess he thought he still could warm up.

Speaker 153 That's what he came out with his clothes on.

Speaker 159 I guess he thought he still could warm up.

Speaker 138 I kind of felt where he came from.

Speaker 149 Like, I'm warm up.

Speaker 140 Let me go take my clothes off.

Speaker 112 Right?

Speaker 105 Right.

Speaker 157 Jimbo wasn't having it. No.

Speaker 38 Jimbo was

Speaker 105 all-time cool.

Speaker 112 Jimbo fired up. Yeah.

Speaker 153 No, that was funny right there.

Speaker 42 Yeah.

Speaker 71 So funny.

Speaker 133 It just looks confused and they're just talking in front of the tunnel.

Speaker 54 So I always wonder this because, you know, we're sports fans. We see it.

Speaker 37 We obviously don't live it like you guys live it.

Speaker 54 You, in your college process, you committed to Clemson, then committed to Florida, then went to Florida State.

Speaker 27 How much shit did like random people on burner accounts talk to you when you flipped commitments?

Speaker 54 Because that's always, we always laugh about on this show, the fact that there's like grown men tweeting at like 17-year-old kids and getting mad at them because they decided they wanted to go to a different college.

Speaker 146 Yeah, back then, like, I wasn't really big on like social media, but like, like when I picked the Jets, it was worse.

Speaker 62 Oh, really?

Speaker 39 Like, it was crazy.

Speaker 143 I was getting stuff like, yeah, like,

Speaker 156 yeah, it was bad.

Speaker 138 This goes to show, like,

Speaker 147 like, like, if you really, if you're really not mentally like stable and like mentally ready for social media, I think you making big decisions like that, like acting like alter people's feelings, I think you just might need to stay off of it.

Speaker 146 Because, you know, there have been times I came close to replying to some people, but it's like, all right, why waste my time?

Speaker 130 Like,

Speaker 151 let's not even go there and get into this back and forth keyboard writing.

Speaker 153 But it's just like,

Speaker 138 yeah, man, like when I committed to Clemson, because everything for me happened so fast within like a year and a half span.

Speaker 153 And I committed to Clemson, then I decommitted from, I decommitted and then committed to Florida.

Speaker 143 And

Speaker 143 I just decided to go to school early.

Speaker 146 And I just went to Florida State.

Speaker 144 Like, I didn't even like really

Speaker 153 do nothing else. I didn't commit to Florida Star.

Speaker 145 I just went to school.

Speaker 154 And I didn't really get nothing too much from it because I wasn't really on social media.

Speaker 153 But like, when I made my decision to sign with the Jets, I think

Speaker 52 it was worse.

Speaker 19 Which fan base was the worst to you when when you signed with the Jets?

Speaker 154 I think I pretty much got it from everywhere.

Speaker 146 I think people was expecting me to sign back to Minnesota. You know, obviously they were expecting me to go home.
So I really got it from Miami fans to worse.

Speaker 157 So I'm looking forward to going back home and being a villain again.

Speaker 5 Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 19 Yeah, you uh, you played out in Minnesota, have had a great career out there so far. Run behind CJ Ham, one of our favorite fullbacks in the NFL.
CJ Ham is a he's a fucking beast.

Speaker 19 That dude is a monster. You're going to miss CJ?

Speaker 154 I'm going to miss him, man.

Speaker 153 I'm going to miss that guy man it's just

Speaker 138 how easy he made the game on me like people don't really know like the communication that we had and it was non-verbal like it's just like

Speaker 159 like we just reacted to each other so well like it was just a great package i can say that for the years that we was there together man

Speaker 151 and

Speaker 157 you see why they had sending him again like it's he's it is what it is like see they're gonna be cj man yeah i'm happy for him man i just wish i could have took them with me could have brought them over here well Rogers did that.

Speaker 63 You could have. Yeah.

Speaker 57 Rogers brought the whole Packers with him.

Speaker 141 We got to build the building out though, man.

Speaker 144 We got to build one.

Speaker 101 This is a dumb question, dumb fan question

Speaker 88 and dumb theory that we had.

Speaker 54 But did Alexander Madison grow out his dreads just so that way when he came in in Relief of You, you'd be like, oh, is this still Dalvin Cook?

Speaker 138 So he was already.

Speaker 154 already growing his dreads when he was when he first got there but like

Speaker 150 how funny this man is.

Speaker 158 Like, I love that, I love him, man.

Speaker 138 That's my little brother, like,

Speaker 149 like, man,

Speaker 154 it's crazy how much love I got for him.

Speaker 147 And, like, we used to do a lot of stuff together, just like being around each other every day.

Speaker 138 And

Speaker 146 he started to dress like me.

Speaker 112 So, like, and he was doing it on purpose.

Speaker 57 Like, he'll do it on purpose. Like, he'll do it on purpose.

Speaker 147 Like, he'll come to my logger here, see what I got on here, do it on purpose. Like, he'll dress just like me.

Speaker 146 And one time, we had like the, they had put me in front of like, it was training camp.

Speaker 138 It was like two years ago. They put me, put me on the front of the cover of the magazine.

Speaker 141 And I'm looking at the cover and I see it's not me.

Speaker 138 And but the picture, it says Dalvin Cook, but it's him.

Speaker 114 So

Speaker 158 we went to the lady and we told her, like, that's not me.

Speaker 159 Like, that's, that's Alex.

Speaker 130 She felt so bad.

Speaker 147 Like, I'm like, bro, why are you doing that?

Speaker 134 Why you doing it to this lady?

Speaker 42 Like,

Speaker 151 he used to do it on purpose.

Speaker 134 Like,

Speaker 75 funny, man. Like, there'd be so many times.

Speaker 57 Yeah. Yeah, we did look just alike.

Speaker 101 We'd be watching games and be like, oh, Dalvin Cook scored.

Speaker 88 And be like, wait, nope, that's not him.

Speaker 128 Never mind. That's Alex.

Speaker 19 Fantasy football owners must have hated him. Yeah.
You get all excited. They got another Dalvin Cook touchdown.

Speaker 81 And then they're like, wait, wait a second.

Speaker 11 That's not him.

Speaker 88 Shit.

Speaker 83 That's funny that he did it on purpose.

Speaker 74 I respect that.

Speaker 99 That's true, true backup running back.

Speaker 63 You know, just dress for the job you want.

Speaker 57 My grandma used to get us mixed up.

Speaker 154 My grandma used to to get us mixed up.

Speaker 42 I used to be like, hold up, bro.

Speaker 98 What was it like?

Speaker 19 What was it like in the locker room last year in the game against the Colts, the famous comeback game? I think that was like the week before Christmas.

Speaker 19 It was on a Saturday, if I remember, against Jeff Saturday and the Colts. And you guys are down big at halftime.
You scored the last touchdown in regulation.

Speaker 19 Did you guys, was there a sense at halftime that you can win the game? Or was it just like, let's go out there, try to, you know, not embarrass ourselves in the second half and see what happens.

Speaker 159 But I was probably like, the way I could describe it, like, that was probably like the most calmest comeback ever.

Speaker 138 Like

Speaker 146 when we went into the locker room, because like the energy when we came out for the game, like it wasn't really there, because that was a game for us to clinch the division and like, to like just handle things, to get it out of the way.

Speaker 154 And like, the energy wasn't there like for us to like.

Speaker 149 be in the mode of like centering the division and like we went into halftime

Speaker 154 and like everybody's like calm as Like we just like calm.

Speaker 152 Like everybody was just chilling until like Pat P, he kind of like stood up.

Speaker 151 But you still had guys like like, yeah, we can do it.

Speaker 154 But like, no, nobody wasn't believing that shit.

Speaker 146 Like it was like, all right, Pat Peace kind of stood up and was like, yo, like,

Speaker 138 just calm down.

Speaker 143 All we need is five touchdowns.

Speaker 42 Like everybody looked like five touchdowns.

Speaker 141 Like five touchdowns. And showed up.
We got out there and they started rolling out.

Speaker 155 Them things started coming back to back to back. And, you know, everybody was just so so calm.

Speaker 138 And then you kind of felt, kind of felt that energy just coming back into the building, coming back in the building.

Speaker 153 You kind of seen the stands filling back up.

Speaker 138 And you just kind of seen everything just happening.

Speaker 159 And

Speaker 146 to me, like, I played in that Buffalo game, but that was like, that was like real close to that Buffalo game.

Speaker 149 Like, it was one of the craziest games I ever played in in my life.

Speaker 116 Yeah.

Speaker 19 Yeah. You guys played some wild ones last year.
All we need is five touchdowns. When you put that way, yeah, we can do this.

Speaker 42 Five.

Speaker 112 that we need to get it. Five.

Speaker 62 That's it.

Speaker 58 Yeah, one hand, just one hand of touchdowns.

Speaker 18 By the way,

Speaker 63 I forgot that

Speaker 70 one of our writers here is a Dolphins fan, did write a blog right after you signed with the Jets saying Dalvin Cook going to the Jets makes me want to drink bleach.

Speaker 137 So, yeah, you did get a lot of people getting upset.

Speaker 108 So he, yeah, he didn't drink bleach, but you made him want to.

Speaker 58 Yeah, you made him want to drink bleach.

Speaker 153 Don't drink bleach, man.

Speaker 159 Life is great.

Speaker 63 Yeah.

Speaker 24 We know ball on this show.

Speaker 19 You can probably tell we're very smart, very intelligent football fans.

Speaker 19 We know that it takes some time for a running back to fit in pass protection, especially if they're in a new system, new team. Have you gotten started on that?

Speaker 19 How long does it take you going to the Jets, new offensive coordinator, new system, new offensive line? How long does it take for you to really feel comfortable in pass protection?

Speaker 138 For me, I kind of always been like on top of things like that.

Speaker 148 You know, you get your little little heat cups every now and then, but like this is a system that I ran before.

Speaker 145 So like I'm pretty familiar with what they got going on.

Speaker 157 Like I ran a system about two years ago.

Speaker 138 I ran it when I had Gary Kubiak.

Speaker 153 So I'm pretty familiar with it.

Speaker 154 Just kind of getting my brain fresh on the terminology and everything they saying.

Speaker 146 They kind of change up a little lingo, but the system is the system.

Speaker 144 like as far as you know what they're trying to get done like i pretty much know what they're trying to do so i'm pretty pretty good with that but it's still going to take a lot of a lot of a lot of live reps to go out there and get this thing done no because i was i was here last week but i had to fly back home so i'm gonna really get a true true pract a true week of practice coming this week

Speaker 91 um dumb another dumb question how how cool is it being fast are you like do you ever find yourself catching like when you burn by someone or you give someone a good juke you're like this is this is awesome like i just made you look so foolish i've been some times where i didn't caught balls in like tight spaces, like, really like check downs, to be honest.

Speaker 159 And, like, I get past some guys.

Speaker 138 I'm like, all right, all right.

Speaker 149 I am. I am that fast.
Like,

Speaker 158 you kind of catch yourself sometimes, like, when you get past guys, like, and you see guys really like trying hard to get you, but like, no, you're really just in the mode of just trying to get where you're going.

Speaker 39 And it's like, all right.

Speaker 139 Yeah.

Speaker 42 Yeah.

Speaker 37 Yeah. I mean, that's got to be a very cool feeling.

Speaker 19 Are you faster than your brother?

Speaker 154 See, like, the thing about it, like, we never race, race, but, like, we run totally different.

Speaker 138 Like, he runs with like a longer stride than me. Like, my steps are like shorter, but they're like, not choppy, but like, he runs with a longer stride.
We gotta, I don't, I don't really want to race.

Speaker 159 I'll just give him the title, to be honest.

Speaker 151 Like, all right, you got it, bro. Like,

Speaker 153 but I never got caught on film.

Speaker 138 Let me just say that.

Speaker 33 Oh, never? We're film guys.

Speaker 88 We can find something.

Speaker 153 You catch me getting ran down on tape.

Speaker 156 Show me.

Speaker 39 I ain't got ran down on tape.

Speaker 114 Wow.

Speaker 62 There's a lot of people, man.

Speaker 154 Like, Twitter is one of them things where, like, I said, mentally, if you just, like, one of them people that just react to stuff, just quick, like, you got to stay off Twitter.

Speaker 19 You know what it is? You know what it is?

Speaker 19 You liked some tweets this offseason. You got in a little trouble for liking tweets.
Not the...

Speaker 19 Diggs type of trouble, but there was a video of

Speaker 19 some Miami Dolphins clip where it was like, is uh dalvin cook gonna sign with the dolphins you liked it and then everybody from dolphins all their all their fans they were like oh

Speaker 153 Like it came down to the end.

Speaker 138 Like, Miami was right there in the race, but like, you know, it came down to some things where the just did some things better than Miami at the end, and I'm here.

Speaker 67 Do you like playing in the cold?

Speaker 116 Oh, good question.

Speaker 142 Thanks.

Speaker 141 Like, it depends on how cold. Like, I

Speaker 138 like I was in, like, we played in Green Bay, like, we didn't play it in Green Bay like at the end of the year, probably last three years I was in Minnesota.

Speaker 146 And the last time we went to Green Bay, it was zero degrees.

Speaker 148 Like, I hated every second of it. But, like, I don't think it gonna get, I don't think I'm going to be in any game as cold as that, like, as far as playing out here in New York.

Speaker 144 Like, I know it's going to get cold, but like, I don't got no problem with it.

Speaker 144 Like, ball is ball.

Speaker 153 Like, they got to feel the same pad-hitting situation that I got to feel.

Speaker 159 Like, they got to, they got to feel that same thing I'm feeling.

Speaker 39 I'm like, ball is ball.

Speaker 19 I like that. Ball is ball.
Ball is ball. Respect.

Speaker 54 That's that is respect. All right.
So, do you have a prediction for this year?

Speaker 74 Yards.

Speaker 51 Can you tell people why they should draft you in fantasy?

Speaker 151 I'm going to be productive. I'm going to be who I am.

Speaker 147 I'm just telling you, Dalvin Cook is Dalvin Cook.

Speaker 155 So, like, you know what I'm saying? Like,

Speaker 159 if you take it for that, just take it for that.

Speaker 158 Like, it's all I need to say.

Speaker 155 Like, I don't need to say too much.

Speaker 147 Like, Dalvin is, I'm me.

Speaker 149 Like,

Speaker 151 I'm back in 33, so we good.

Speaker 57 Okay.

Speaker 19 Are there certain numbers that you feel faster in than other numbers? Like, what if they made you wear like 45 for a year?

Speaker 149 I wouldn't wear it. I wouldn't wear it.

Speaker 55 You quit.

Speaker 33 Yeah, the new numbers are crazy.

Speaker 18 No, that's not a fast number.

Speaker 136 What are the fastest numbers?

Speaker 154 This is what I'm saying.

Speaker 151 Like, if you don't go, like, if I ain't go like a single digit, like, I wasn't, I'm going back to 33 regardless.

Speaker 147 Like, that was the most productive.

Speaker 153 You know what I'm saying?

Speaker 147 Like, 33. Like, that's what it is.

Speaker 154 That's how I came out. I came out swinging 33.

Speaker 153 But, like, other than that, I wasn't going no.

Speaker 148 Nah, them numbers don't even make you look good.

Speaker 154 You don't even look good at numbers like that.

Speaker 19 Yeah, so if you weren't 33, what would be the fastest numbers that we would say?

Speaker 19 I would say, like, a one, one looks pretty fast seven looks fast uh 21 21 is really fast 21 is fast i like 21 22 is kind of a good number too but like

Speaker 138 i feel like

Speaker 138 22 is one of those numbers where like

Speaker 77 We appreciate your time.

Speaker 45 I found another one.

Speaker 99 It was Dalvin Cook, you fuckhead, on Twitter.

Speaker 16 And that was from me, December 6th, 2020.

Speaker 3 And I went to look it up.

Speaker 92 Do you remember this game?

Speaker 37 Pretty much anytime I swear at an athlete, it's gambling related.

Speaker 37 It was the Jaguars Vikings game where I think you guys were like nine-point favorites and you had first and goal at the two-minute warning and you just didn't score. And you won by three.

Speaker 63 Do you remember that?

Speaker 33 Because you were a fuckhead for that.

Speaker 39 Yeah. Oh, yeah.

Speaker 145 They told me not to score.

Speaker 57 Yeah, well, come on.

Speaker 99 We got people who

Speaker 155 that was a situational moment.

Speaker 57 Yeah, I feel you, though.

Speaker 152 Hey,

Speaker 141 hey, what?

Speaker 151 Think about it.

Speaker 134 I feel you. I feel you.
Like,

Speaker 154 I understand.

Speaker 149 Like, when, when I, when, when things are on the line and

Speaker 152 big things at stake, I feel you.

Speaker 147 Like, get your emotions out. I'm not a person that take emotions.

Speaker 149 I take them how they come.

Speaker 138 That's just what it is.

Speaker 149 Hey, I'm a fuckhead.

Speaker 147 I'm a fuckhead.

Speaker 57 You were a fuckhead.

Speaker 80 In that moment, you were a fuckhead.

Speaker 54 I know that your coach probably told you to do it, but I stand by the tweet.

Speaker 51 But yeah, Twitter is wild.

Speaker 63 So I can't really criticize anyone when I'm tweeting Dalvin Cook, you fuckhead in the middle of the day.

Speaker 19 Maybe we can think twice and we can just call the coach a fuckhead.

Speaker 20 Yeah.

Speaker 33 Yeah.

Speaker 152 I'm going to say, yeah, I got to talk to him, too.

Speaker 19 Yeah, you would probably think to yourself, like, that's a touchdown you could have.

Speaker 49 You're like, Kevin O'Connell, you fuckhead.

Speaker 67 Yeah.

Speaker 62 Yeah.

Speaker 57 Come on.

Speaker 123 You needed that. We need those scores.

Speaker 8 Oh, man.

Speaker 101 Well, thank you so much, man. Best of luck.

Speaker 87 Believe in ghosts.

Speaker 108 The ghost told me.

Speaker 63 I'm telling you,

Speaker 111 What was the

Speaker 68 what did Jim Tom Sula originally do for it to be

Speaker 104 Jimbo?

Speaker 36 He called it, he said that sometimes like when you got a run, but you pass instead, he's like, we call that a jimbo.

Speaker 16 Like he actually phrased jimbos for his own mistake.

Speaker 36 I'm going to look it up, see if I can get the clip.

Speaker 19 It's to take accountability. He'll be like, yep, that one was a jimbo.
That challenge. I shouldn't have challenged that.
That's a jimbo. Yeah, he said.

Speaker 16 And he literally was like, yeah,

Speaker 32 he named himself.

Speaker 16 He named his own mistakes as Jimbos.

Speaker 13 Love that.

Speaker 49 He's like, yeah, I screwed up there.

Speaker 46 That's a Jimbo.

Speaker 19 I can't believe we haven't had Tom Sula on part of my takeout.

Speaker 85 I know.

Speaker 15 I don't think, I feel like he would maybe not like us.

Speaker 78 I don't know.

Speaker 68 I think he's a jeans fan.

Speaker 97 Yeah.

Speaker 71 Wait, let's see.

Speaker 91 I'm looking it up.

Speaker 8 Okay.

Speaker 31 I just found a tweet. That's a Jimbo.

Speaker 26 Tom Sula's phrase when he was the root of the problem, like when 49ers tried to come out passing versus the Browns.

Speaker 93 That's Jimbo.

Speaker 53 So if he's the root of the problem, he's like Jimbo.

Speaker 113 Love that. That's accountability.

Speaker 68 With that being said, I brought my girl bowling. I think it'd be a fun, relaxing time.
And she beat me all six games. Oh, no.

Speaker 76 And I didn't post a score over 100.

Speaker 23 Oh.

Speaker 68 Top three most embarrassing hour I had to deal with.

Speaker 35 Was this you writing about me and you?

Speaker 33 No. Bowling?

Speaker 32 Would I beat you 157 to 85?

Speaker 97 That was one game.

Speaker 21 Right, but you got 85.

Speaker 68 I beat you during the bowling stream.

Speaker 28 Okay, but we played like 75 games.

Speaker 104 Of course, you're going to win once.

Speaker 16 Yeah, this is,

Speaker 49 listen,

Speaker 68 six games. One game happens.

Speaker 68 You can't go 0 for 6 trying to break 100.

Speaker 69 Yeah, that's the thing.

Speaker 6 It's not about your girlfriend beating you.

Speaker 48 She's probably a good bowler.

Speaker 72 What are you going to do?

Speaker 36 Not being able to break 100 as a man six straight times, that's brutal.

Speaker 19 Yeah, it is tough. You would think that you would find a groove around game number three or four.

Speaker 48 Or put up the bumpers.

Speaker 19 Yeah, or just just like not even aim, be like, I'm not going to even try to get a strike. Let's just hit some of the pins.

Speaker 14 We got to start a bowling league.

Speaker 85 Bowling is fun. We should be in a bowling league.

Speaker 19 Bowling's fun,

Speaker 19 but one major problem I have with bowling now is I used to love it because you could smoke cigarettes inside. Yeah.
And it seems like that is even going away, which is tough.

Speaker 19 Like, there are certain places that should allow SIGs inside because my policy for myself is I'm allowed to smoke cigarettes indoors if I'm, or I'm allowed to smoke cigarettes if it's indoors or if I'm out of the country.

Speaker 19 Right. And now it's like I'm running out of opportunities to do so.
So I'm, I, I just, I miss going home after a night at the bowling alley and all your clothes and your hair smell like cigarettes.

Speaker 83 Jake, make a reminder.

Speaker 34 After football season ends, I think we should, maybe we don't even do a bowling league, but let's just, the fellas, pick a random Monday when we're really missing football the most and let's go bowling on a Monday night.

Speaker 56 Like April after March.

Speaker 9 No, no, no, no, no, no. March.

Speaker 72 No, no, no.

Speaker 50 February, I'm saying. Oh, right after.

Speaker 120 Winter. Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 20 Eat the winter.

Speaker 51 it. Yeah, we should.

Speaker 46 And we should stream it, and we should make it a competition.

Speaker 107 No, but let's just go as fun.

Speaker 48 Let's have fun, you know, bowl with the boys.

Speaker 14 It'd be great if we could find a bowling league where people just let us win.

Speaker 111 Maybe

Speaker 111 that's what I did.

Speaker 33 What?

Speaker 21 Oh. Oh, you let me win?

Speaker 32 Anytime, anyplace, anywhere.

Speaker 19 You got to have more self-awareness if you're this guy. You got to know what your limitations are.
And if you're a stinky bowler, maybe just don't go on a bowling date.

Speaker 9 Also, you should just start like mini golf, one-on-one basketball.

Speaker 31 You got to find one that you can win at.

Speaker 102 Hit the hard gate.

Speaker 49 Oklahoma Arcade.

Speaker 43 Yeah, hit the arcade.

Speaker 85 Yeah, Oklahoma drill.

Speaker 30 Feats of strength.

Speaker 9 Bench press competition. Arm wrestling.

Speaker 31 Actually, I feel like from the little we know about this guy, his girlfriend could beat him in a bench press competition.

Speaker 102 Probably.

Speaker 103 Okay.

Speaker 68 I was waiting to tee off on the 16th hole Sunday, was overserved and needed to reach for a cooling towel while I was sitting in the cart.

Speaker 68 Well, I slipped and landed on the floor of the cart, causing the accelerator to go off. The cart started rolling down the hill while I was literally completely horizontally sticking out of it.

Speaker 68 Tried to slow the cart down by dragging my hands on the ground. Now my right hand and left elbow are scabbed and bruised.
Golf gloves is torn up.

Speaker 68 The cart didn't go too far as it just went over the curb near the fairway.

Speaker 19 That's such a great plan that he had, though. He was going to stop the golf cart by grabbing grass.

Speaker 7 I also feel like golf carts are one of the, like, if this is a real car, Yeah, it's a different story because you don't want to have damage golf carts I have to imagine if we talk to a caddy or like a ground screw person They've seen everything.

Speaker 35 Oh, yeah.

Speaker 2 They've seen every golf cart accident like broken everything like just let it go.

Speaker 19 Jake almost died in a golf cart.

Speaker 11 Yeah, that's true. Yeah.
Remember that?

Speaker 56 It was at a charity golf tournament when I was in seventh grade. I drove drove off the bridge.
fell over me and I was stuck under water for like 30 seconds. I thought there wasn't a way out.

Speaker 28 That's chabaquidic.

Speaker 19 But I made it out. Who rescued you?

Speaker 26 So

Speaker 35 the person sitting next to you didn't make it out?

Speaker 20 No, he did.

Speaker 56 He was able to jump onto the bridge while the

Speaker 49 Channel.

Speaker 19 And then did he go get help for you?

Speaker 98 Yeah. Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 97 Okay. That's fine.

Speaker 118 Got it.

Speaker 97 A little rattled, but I thought it was a...

Speaker 81 What a hilarious way for Jake to die.

Speaker 19 Was it a Hall of Fame MLB's charity tournament?

Speaker 118 No.

Speaker 32 Were you very embarrassed?

Speaker 118 I was just, I was 13 years old.

Speaker 97 I was shaking.

Speaker 78 What was going on?

Speaker 19 Yeah. Were you scared to drive after that?

Speaker 110 I was 13. Oh, drive carts? Yeah.

Speaker 68 Yeah.

Speaker 68 When you got your license, were you like, oh, here we go again?

Speaker 83 Do you hate going over water?

Speaker 47 Yeah.

Speaker 62 Did you finish the round? No.

Speaker 27 You went home?

Speaker 118 No, I just hung around.

Speaker 10 You hung around wet?

Speaker 118 I got to change clothes, I think.

Speaker 33 Okay.

Speaker 85 And you didn't finish the round?

Speaker 118 No.

Speaker 71 Why?

Speaker 76 Because

Speaker 56 my clubs were gone.

Speaker 118 They were underneath a lake.

Speaker 55 Oh, yeah. I forgot about the clubs.

Speaker 47 Okay.

Speaker 19 We need to conquer this bridge, Jake. We need to go back and have you drive a golf course.
We need to have you drive off the bridge again.

Speaker 76 Yeah.

Speaker 33 Yes, yes, yes.

Speaker 34 Recreate the whole thing.

Speaker 19 You're never going to heal if you don't do this.

Speaker 98 Yeah.

Speaker 101 Yeah. Take the power back.

Speaker 68 All right, last one. Last week, I ordered a gaming desktop on a massive discount, a $3,500 desktop for $1,100 from Amazon.

Speaker 68 Imagine my surprise when what I thought would be a gateway into escapism and tomfoolery turned out to be one foam shoe in a bag.

Speaker 91 Oh, you got caught.

Speaker 49 Oh, that's bad.

Speaker 19 So it was a fake store?

Speaker 47 Yeah.

Speaker 19 Yeah. I mean, that's a pretty steep discount.

Speaker 111 Damn.

Speaker 78 I thought it was going to be like half of the gaming console or something.

Speaker 68 Yeah, I thought it was going to be like

Speaker 68 the computer, but not built.

Speaker 19 Are you allowed to do that?

Speaker 68 And then the people that build computers.

Speaker 35 It sounds like the easiest game ever.

Speaker 19 You just set up an Amazon store and then you just don't send people the stuff and you get their money. Yeah.

Speaker 16 When I was a kid, my dad did that to me.

Speaker 93 He got me PlayStation, the original PlayStation for my birthday, and he gave me the holder and and was like you wanted playstation right and he went with it for like 15 minutes and i was like this is the holder this isn't the playstation he's like this is what you wanted i didn't understand what you wanted i got you a playstation

Speaker 81 yeah yeah yeah and he's like oh you wanted this and they show me the playstation it's a pretty good trick yeah for the younger what is a what is a holder for a playstation it was like the the thing that i don't know it's like the plastic holder that you put on the because the playstation i don't know you just fucking it was a holder.

Speaker 22 Do you know what that is?

Speaker 22 Oh, damn it, did I date myself?

Speaker 19 It would have been cool if he got you like a jungle gym, like a slide. So he's like, This is a PlayStation.
PlayStation 2. It's a station for play.
Fuck.

Speaker 69 It like held it up upright.

Speaker 53 Is it a gray PlayStation?

Speaker 16 It was, yeah, it was a gray PlayStation.

Speaker 106 You couldn't have just put it up on the play.

Speaker 30 It might have been a PlayStation 2.

Speaker 19 Hank, what does that mean?

Speaker 68 PlayStation 2 is black.

Speaker 15 PlayStation 1.

Speaker 51 I think it was a gray. It was gray.

Speaker 16 It was, I think it was the.

Speaker 109 Yeah, no, it was this. Okay.

Speaker 25 I think it was. When did PlayStation 2 come out?

Speaker 68 Like 2007?

Speaker 31 Okay, so it was PlayStation 1.

Speaker 113 But it looked exactly like this.

Speaker 25 It looked exactly like this, Max.

Speaker 61 See this? Okay.

Speaker 101 Like it just, you just held it up.

Speaker 15 It held up.

Speaker 106 You couldn't just put it on the ground. I don't know.

Speaker 20 2000s.

Speaker 17 2000 was PlayStation 2?

Speaker 22 Yeah.

Speaker 62 It must have been PlayStation 1.

Speaker 111 Oh, no.

Speaker 8 Fuck.

Speaker 58 I was in high school in 2007.

Speaker 8 Fuck.

Speaker 22 Yeah, it looked like this.

Speaker 48 It was kind of cool.

Speaker 83 All right, fine. I dated myself.

Speaker 22 What the fuck am I going to do? I'm old, guys.

Speaker 16 Hey, news flash.

Speaker 11 I'm fucking old.

Speaker 19 Is it embarrassing to admit that my first gaming system was a Super Nintendo? Because it was.

Speaker 50 Yeah. That's not that.

Speaker 31 It's just time. N64 was the best.

Speaker 33 Hey, N64.

Speaker 19 What was your first one, Hank?

Speaker 68 I wasn't allowed to have video games in my house until I was like way older. My brother got an Xbox in college.

Speaker 68 That was the one in my house. Me and my friends would play PlayStation 1 and 2 and N64.

Speaker 94 I wasn't allowed to have it either for the longest time.

Speaker 7 And one birthday, I got to rent from Blockbuster a Sega.

Speaker 19 Yeah, those were the weekend. Those were the best birthday parties.

Speaker 43 Yeah, but

Speaker 53 that was my break.

Speaker 44 I was like, I just want to have a system for a weekend.

Speaker 32 Yeah, I was played the entire...

Speaker 31 I actually remember I brought it to

Speaker 31 someone else's house,

Speaker 31 not like a friend's house.

Speaker 93 We had to go somewhere for something. And I was like, I'm bringing this.
I'm not wasting any time.

Speaker 19 Yeah, it's smart.

Speaker 68 It's honestly genius by my parents because I just lived at my neighbor's house. Yeah.
Like, I was never home.

Speaker 33 Yeah, that is.

Speaker 109 That is, that is the ultimate.

Speaker 19 I was always like a generation and a half behind all my friends. So I would play all the games at their house.
And then, like, two years later, I would get that system. Yes.

Speaker 19 I would get the same games. I'd be like, you guys want to come over and play GoldenEye? And they're like, dude, we beat Goldeneye two years ago.

Speaker 85 Also, genius move.

Speaker 83 One of my friends got N64, and his parents wouldn't let us play during the week. And he would hide,

Speaker 83 they would hide the cord, like the power cord.

Speaker 54 So the system would be sitting there.

Speaker 31 It would be like, all we want to do is play it, but we can't plug it in.

Speaker 16 So we just spend the entire week looking for it.

Speaker 2 And then we realized, like, after three years, that his dad just put it in his trunk every Monday.

Speaker 111 And just took it to work. Yeah.

Speaker 26 And we were just like, motherfucker. We just spent all this time looking for a power cord.

Speaker 19 We thought it was around the house.

Speaker 11 Yeah.

Speaker 69 So, yeah.

Speaker 103 Okay, we dated ourselves.

Speaker 33 What are we going to do?

Speaker 68 I mean, going to Blockbuster like on a Friday night and running to games was like the greatest thing.

Speaker 20 Right, yeah. Right.

Speaker 19 There was something about renting a movie, too, from Blockbuster. You go in there, you get the Blockbuster smell.
You know, I think they all kind of smell the same.

Speaker 19 And then you, as a group, pick out, okay, we're going to rent this movie, take it home, and it's a big thing. Yeah.
It's an event.

Speaker 19 Now, I think it's so easy to buy movies and shit that you rent them on your couch and then you just don't pay attention to the movie.

Speaker 95 There was nothing worse than going to the Blockbuster on a Friday night and

Speaker 83 seeing the movie you wanted and having it not be there. Yeah.
And having it be no VHS behind it.

Speaker 19 Now we're fine. Do you remember when VHS got damned? Do Do you remember when Jurassic Park came out? How many copies they had at Blockbuster?

Speaker 20 It was like an entire wall, yeah.

Speaker 76 Yeah, Jurassic Park.

Speaker 19 Whatever, yeah, we're old.

Speaker 30 Sorry, I just sent, I was just saying, I was doing a fantasy draft. It was my college friends, 18 years.

Speaker 78 Yeah, that one hurt seeing that.

Speaker 103 But yeah, okay, we're old, whatever.

Speaker 10 We're still young at heart, and football's back.

Speaker 2 We get our youth back every football season.

Speaker 69 Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 28 Okay, numbers.

Speaker 95 Three, and then we're going to

Speaker 121 the bonus pancake draft.

Speaker 17 69.

Speaker 31 Memes, you ever gotten this? 20.

Speaker 118 Nope.

Speaker 49 82.

Speaker 6 68.

Speaker 23 Jesus.

Speaker 111 Damn.

Speaker 97 Okay.

Speaker 19 Love you guys.

Speaker 122 Okay, it's time for pardon my take, fantasy. We are reinventing the fantasy world.

Speaker 54 We started with dingers only,

Speaker 6 and now football season because Dingers only was because we wanted to learn more about baseball.

Speaker 53 We obviously love football.

Speaker 107 We watch football non-stop.

Speaker 21 And we thought, what's the way to have a fantasy league for football that teaches us something maybe we aren't paying attention to?

Speaker 124 It's the pancakes only league.

Speaker 19 Well, really, it's just something awesome to root for. Yeah.
Like Dingers. Rooting for pancakes kicks ass.

Speaker 76 Yes.

Speaker 124 So it's five offensive linemen per team, pancakes only.

Speaker 101 Someone's going to have to chart these. these.

Speaker 142 Jake? I got it. Yeah, I set it up.

Speaker 110 Jake's got it.

Speaker 66 DFT set up a list.

Speaker 26 Add drops, one.

Speaker 96 Let's get it clear right now.

Speaker 101 Injury add drops.

Speaker 101 Are you allowed to do one add drop?

Speaker 19 Yeah, I think

Speaker 19 you can do multiple ad drops.

Speaker 16 Oh, okay, just for injuries, though. Yeah.

Speaker 37 Okay, just what about pedophile?

Speaker 22 You have to run that by contingency only.

Speaker 11 So run that by dropping. Just get it clear.

Speaker 19 So if there's a pedophile on your team, you're allowed to drop them, but you also have to disavow all of its pancakes.

Speaker 84 Okay, okay, that's fair.

Speaker 106 It's also only season-ending injuries, season-ending injuries, yes,

Speaker 19 or season-ending pedophilia.

Speaker 106 Yes, or season-ending injuries. Okay, so you can't.

Speaker 19 If you're a pedophile, but you're only suspended for two weeks, like the Ray Rice situation, where it was like, How come he's only getting two weeks? Right, then I think he has to stay on your roster.

Speaker 19 You have to ride out those pancakes, yes.

Speaker 87 Yes, all right, so only ad drops for season-ending injury, no ad drops for like

Speaker 96 a guy not performing.

Speaker 128 Yes, and then

Speaker 75 we are going to do the loser.

Speaker 36 Is it the 24, are we doing 24 pancakes in 24 hours yeah so the the you have to be in a diner for and every pancake you eat is an hour off and then we're also going to have the uh what would be the fifth place person will have to eat 12 pancakes and the fourth place person will have to eat six pancakes like to sit with you for a little bit Everyone like that?

Speaker 53 Yeah.

Speaker 24 That's pretty good.

Speaker 33 And we'll live stream it.

Speaker 49 I love pancakes.

Speaker 9 Yeah. It'll be great.
Yeah.

Speaker 41 Yeah.

Speaker 25 Finishing fourth is actually a treat.

Speaker 33 That's the

Speaker 33 first thing. Yeah, that is first.

Speaker 25 Finishing fourth is great.

Speaker 4 You get to sit with your boys and eat six pancakes.

Speaker 19 If you finish it first, are you allowed to sit and eat pancakes?

Speaker 15 Yeah, you can.

Speaker 116 Okay. Yeah, no, no.

Speaker 33 We'll probably all hang out.

Speaker 82 And, yeah, it would be fun.

Speaker 19 It's really just fifth and sixth place. That's the bad one.

Speaker 16 Yeah, fifth and sixth suck.

Speaker 33 And fifth is

Speaker 103 12 is not that bad.

Speaker 120 Should we make it 18 and 12?

Speaker 19 Fifth and fourth? No, 20. 24, 18, 12.
24, 18, 12. Yeah, yes.

Speaker 16 All right, let's do that.

Speaker 72 Okay.

Speaker 62 24, 18, 12, 6, 3.

Speaker 25 First person doesn't have to eat any pancakes.

Speaker 37 Unlimited. Yeah.

Speaker 137 They can just eat whatever they want.

Speaker 72 Okay.

Speaker 100 That's good.

Speaker 53 So if you finish second, you have to eat three pancakes, which is, that's the true win now.

Speaker 19 That's pretty good.

Speaker 16 Because that's a perfect amount of pancakes.

Speaker 22 Okay, this is going to be fun.

Speaker 124 Pancakes only league.

Speaker 15 How are we going to do draft order first?

Speaker 63 We've really gotten this.

Speaker 19 I think we got to do a random number generator.

Speaker 34 Yeah.

Speaker 19 Or we can do a hat game.

Speaker 116 Okay.

Speaker 106 Or like the current standings of dingers only.

Speaker 23 Oh,

Speaker 23 okay.

Speaker 99 or reverse current standings.

Speaker 20 Yeah, that's good idea.

Speaker 71 I like that.

Speaker 47 That's fair.

Speaker 41 All right, let's do odds or evens until we get this.

Speaker 101 It's really good podcasting.

Speaker 4 Subscribe to the YouTube.

Speaker 16 Ready?

Speaker 38 Wait, this is how are we going to do it?

Speaker 57 Okay, here's what we're going to do.

Speaker 33 Here's what we're going to do.

Speaker 37 Just do the random number generator.

Speaker 116 The random number generator.

Speaker 19 Okay. And then we're going to do whoever gets it, whoever gets closest goes first, and then we'll go clockwise after that person.
Does that make sense? Okay, fair. Okay, so we got six people.

Speaker 35 Min

Speaker 19 max is six, and so we'll just start. I'll be one, Hank, you're two, Big Cat three, memes four, Max five, Jake is six.

Speaker 61 Oh, I like this. This is very ordered.

Speaker 49 So, Hank, you can see this.

Speaker 112 Two.

Speaker 15 Fuck, Hank.

Speaker 19 Hank goes first.

Speaker 33 And then Hank's a big cat. And then OGAS.

Speaker 112 Okay.

Speaker 19 Snake draft.

Speaker 72 Whew, okay. Damn it.

Speaker 2 Snake draft.

Speaker 68 All right, one, one. This is an obvious one based off of the spreadsheet we have.
He had nine more pancakes than the person in second place. It's Trent Williams.

Speaker 112 Okay, good point.

Speaker 71 I wanted him bad.

Speaker 19 Yeah, he's first off here. I was hoping that Hank was going to pick Row Labels for his first overall pick because on the spreadsheet,

Speaker 19 it looks like that's the first guy's.

Speaker 110 Excel guys.

Speaker 47 Yeah.

Speaker 19 Row labels, first overall.

Speaker 71 Damn.

Speaker 19 Thank you to Sam Schwartze, by the way, for putting together the spreadsheet for us. Sam is friend of the program, and you will see him on the Thursday Night Simulcast this year on Amazon.

Speaker 68 Yeah, what is the technical classification of a pancake block?

Speaker 19 When you take another man's soul.

Speaker 27 You put him to the ground.

Speaker 101 You drive over him.

Speaker 142 Is it actually trackable?

Speaker 19 Pro Football Focus apparently tracks it.

Speaker 162 I couldn't find online, but if an AWL has it, please let us know.

Speaker 70 So I have a problem. I can't.

Speaker 28 I paid Evan $100 for his spreadsheet, and I don't understand his rankings.

Speaker 33 I'm sure there's a lot of Eagles on it.

Speaker 2 Shane and Evan were supposed to be in this league, so Evan did a lot of research, and he came in here and was like, oh, I did all the research.

Speaker 95 So I gave him $100 bill.

Speaker 16 I was was like, Send it to me.

Speaker 31 I don't know what

Speaker 27 I don't know.

Speaker 16 Yeah, this is a problem.

Speaker 19 You can get past. This is like the Vikings at the draft.

Speaker 127 He has guys under, he's ranked guys, and then some say beast, and some say good, but sometimes the beast is not the first name listed.

Speaker 19 Pug. It sounds like he's just drafting on Pugs.

Speaker 60 Since what is his nickname Pug? Am I out of the loop?

Speaker 9 Yes. Yeah, you are.

Speaker 67 When did that become a thing?

Speaker 16 We just decided we needed a Pug.

Speaker 81 He's a pug.

Speaker 160 We picked him as our pug. I'm out of it.

Speaker 106 He looks like a pug.

Speaker 6 Do I go straight off of

Speaker 33 go three.

Speaker 103 I don't like what you're doing.

Speaker 19 The clock's ticking, big cat.

Speaker 31 Yeah, I'll do.

Speaker 16 I'll take the second guy.

Speaker 35 Hank, you pronounce it.

Speaker 68 Ikem Ekwanu. Yep, that's my guy.

Speaker 72 Okay. Okay.

Speaker 122 Panthers.

Speaker 33 Offensive tackle. Yep.

Speaker 103 Love it.

Speaker 9 Great pick. Oh.

Speaker 33 Good pick. I've always loved him.

Speaker 50 Okay. They call him Icky.

Speaker 33 Okay.

Speaker 19 Memes.

Speaker 142 I'm just going to go with guys who know a big fan of this team, Jason Kelse.

Speaker 33 Okay. All right.
Okay.

Speaker 79 Good pick. That's so fucked.
He just.

Speaker 51 I don't have him ranked as a beast or a good.

Speaker 63 He looks good. Just so you know.

Speaker 106 He did that to fuck with me.

Speaker 116 Yeah, he did.

Speaker 106 Now

Speaker 33 I'll go with Wyatt Teller. Oh, that's a good pick.
Good pick.

Speaker 19 I should have taken him. I wanted to take him.

Speaker 21 Fuck.

Speaker 55 Oh, he's under beast here, too.

Speaker 103 Fuck.

Speaker 105 Damn it.

Speaker 63 I fucked that up.

Speaker 33 All right, Jake.

Speaker 162 I'm going to go a little down in the depth chart we have here, but he's a recurring guest.

Speaker 56 Deion Dawkins.

Speaker 15 Okay. All right.

Speaker 87 Also, say the name of the team because.

Speaker 21 Buffalo Bills.

Speaker 37 Yeah, so

Speaker 54 this is an educational segment for the people.

Speaker 128 We're giving the shine to the big boys.

Speaker 25 All right. PFT, you got two picks?

Speaker 19 All right, so I got a question for you because Patrick Ricard was listed as being an offensive lineman at the start of the season. He's going to play some offensive line.
He's also a fullback.

Speaker 142 He's a fullback. He's a fullback.

Speaker 110 When I tracked that entire season of fullback assistance.

Speaker 61 Well, that was in the past.

Speaker 19 But, Jake, that was in the past.

Speaker 162 So he doesn't line up behind. No,

Speaker 19 he won some this year, but he started training as a line.

Speaker 2 You can get him, but you can't get him whenever he lines up in the backfield.

Speaker 19 Those don't count. Yes.

Speaker 116 Hmm.

Speaker 19 In that case, I am going to go with.

Speaker 97 Oh, this is.

Speaker 97 Yeah, it's tough. It's tough.

Speaker 70 It's tough.

Speaker 70 Big names have come off the board.

Speaker 142 I don't want to screw this up.

Speaker 50 You know what?

Speaker 19 I might wade into into the rookie field a little bit.

Speaker 38 Okay.

Speaker 68 How does that sound?

Speaker 19 I'm going to take,

Speaker 19 first of all, Cody Mock from the Bucs. Okay.
The big beast from North Dakota with the long red hair. Yep.
Missing front teeth. Okay.
Love that guy.

Speaker 19 He screams pancake to me.

Speaker 84 Okay.

Speaker 19 And then next, I think I'm going to take... I'm going to take Aaron Brewer from the Titans.
Okay. Aaron Brewer on the Titans.
Okay.

Speaker 22 He was at the top. I was on this last year.
Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 25 Okay. All right, Jake, you're coming back.

Speaker 162 Yeah, I'm going to go with Penne Sewell.

Speaker 73 Okay, good pick.

Speaker 103 Good pick.

Speaker 26 Good pick. From

Speaker 56 the Lions. Yes, there it is.

Speaker 160 Sorry, sorry. No, that's okay.

Speaker 38 I believe he was on Dolphins.

Speaker 56 Nice.

Speaker 49 Yeah. Nice.
Nice. Okay.

Speaker 27 Memes?

Speaker 123 Was Quentin Nelson taken?

Speaker 127 Nope. Quentin Nelson was not taken.
I'm going to take Quentin Nelson.

Speaker 72 Okay.

Speaker 116 Good pick.

Speaker 116 The Colts.

Speaker 21 Colts. Okay.

Speaker 107 I'm going to take.

Speaker 121 Let me get Caleb McGarry from the Falcons. Okay.

Speaker 44 Caleb McGarry from the Falcons.

Speaker 162 Oh, Falcons. Caleb with a K.

Speaker 6 Caleb with a K.

Speaker 100 Caleb McGarry from the Falcons.

Speaker 68 I'm going to take Tim Settle. Oh, no, it's a defensive tackle.

Speaker 55 You're just going straight off the list.

Speaker 68 No, no. Well, I don't know exactly which one.

Speaker 106 JJ Watt was on that list, which can confuse you.

Speaker 19 Yeah, yeah. Apparently, they tracked pancakes on defense, too.
Got it. I didn't know.
Shout out to J.J. Watt for retiring, too.

Speaker 19 He picked the perfect time.

Speaker 68 Yeah, I think a lot of these guys are defensive.

Speaker 57 Sorry.

Speaker 68 We're going to go with Drew Dahlman from the Atlanta Falcons, center. Okay.

Speaker 116 Okay.

Speaker 68 And then I'm going to go with... Did someone take four...

Speaker 138 No. No.

Speaker 76 Forrest Buckner's a defensive player.

Speaker 68 Tavin Bryan?

Speaker 72 Let's see.

Speaker 68 Nope. Defensive tackle.
This list is all jacked up.

Speaker 116 Okay.

Speaker 65 Who you got?

Speaker 127 Find someone.

Speaker 68 Chris Lindstrom. Okay.

Speaker 116 Okay.

Speaker 107 Center for the Falcons?

Speaker 58 A couple Falcons.

Speaker 100 Okay, you're stacking your Falcons.

Speaker 53 I'll go with...

Speaker 142 Can't believe he lasted this long.

Speaker 63 I'll go Zach Martin from the Cowboys.

Speaker 66 Good pick. Yeah.

Speaker 51 Feels good to get that one because it's a name I know.

Speaker 102 Yep.

Speaker 68 Okay. He's not holding out.

Speaker 51 No, I think he just got paid, didn't he? Yep.

Speaker 121 Yeah. He's back.
He just got paid. Come on.

Speaker 59 Don't put that on me.

Speaker 48 Don't put that on my team.

Speaker 68 It's going to take him a little while to get warmed up.

Speaker 88 This is probably the only challenge we've ever done where I'm fine with losing.

Speaker 89 Although 24 is is a lot.

Speaker 19 24 is a paint.

Speaker 20 18 is still a lot.

Speaker 49 12 would be nice.

Speaker 19 I think I could do 12 in about 12.

Speaker 33 I think 12 would be a good challenge. Yeah, 12.

Speaker 9 At 18, it gets really cool.

Speaker 95 Yeah, actually, 24 would really suck.

Speaker 49 Okay, memes.

Speaker 123 I'm going to go with Laramie Tunsel.

Speaker 19 Okay. Gas mask.
Yeah.

Speaker 113 Disavow?

Speaker 142 No, I avow. Strongly avow.

Speaker 103 Texans, I think.

Speaker 19 Okay. That's another funny thing where it's crazy to think back.
What was that, seven, eight years ago? I think it was eight years ago. And he fell in the draft because he smoked weed.
Yeah.

Speaker 19 People are like, this guy gives me character concerns. Well, they found out right before, if anything, that dude gave me character pluses.

Speaker 33 Yes, yes.

Speaker 16 Innovation.

Speaker 128 Okay, Max.

Speaker 72 Okay.

Speaker 19 All right. I'm going to go Max, Lane Johnson.

Speaker 19 Love Lane. I'll trade you, Lane, for Jordan.

Speaker 106 Lane doesn't get many pancakes, according to that stat.

Speaker 19 Well, this year he won't.

Speaker 106 He's a great lineman that doesn't get pancakes.

Speaker 19 Okay, then I'm going to go.

Speaker 33 Wait, did you just... Is that your fifth?

Speaker 27 I did two. No, you have one more.
We're coming back around one last time.

Speaker 33 Okay, Jake.

Speaker 81 This is where we get confused.

Speaker 142 Hank took Chris Lindstrom.

Speaker 72 Oh, okay, that's right. Okay.

Speaker 72 Okay.

Speaker 60 Go, Jake.
