It's Part of My Take, presented by Barstool Sports.

Welcome to Part of My Take.

Today is Monday, January 23rd.

NFL Divisional Round.

What? What? What? What? What? What? What? NFL Divisional Round. We start in Kansas City, where the Jaguars' ardent keys to the game was to fall on Patrick Mahomes' ankle and hope the Chiefs' offense got drunk on Chad Henney.
Even after the injury, Andy Creed had his receivers arms wide open as the Jaguars were begging the Chiefs to stack. Billie Eilish football went down to Kansas City to try and find the bad guy, only to realize the bad guy is him.
Who's the bad guy? Who's the bad guy? Chris Indiana Jones had Trevor Lawrence running for his life, trying to escape his giant balls, and the Chiefs, even with their injured quarterback, proved to be too much. Speaking of, we have him here on the line.
Let's go down to Patrick Mahomes postgame with a head full of Vicodin. Yeah, your boy is tomahawk chopped and screwed.
Man, I'm thrown. I got my leg all lit up just scotch, and I had a high ankle sprain, or as my former teammate Kyle Long calls it, an ankle sprain.
I was like, put me in. I'm him.
I'm him. I'm him.
Put me in. I got that thing marinating ketchup right now.
We're good to go. That's a fact, Jack.
I'll be ready next weekend. Come on, buddy.
See you next week. The Chiefs, 27.
Jaguars, 20. Over to Philadelphia, where before the game, the showers don't work as the Giants Hotel as Philadelphia was all out of hot water.
Jalen didn't look like it hurts, was sharp early, forcing Giants fans to sing, Big blue, da-ba-dee-da-ba-die. The green team made me die.
The green team made me die.

To add insult to injury, Nick Ceriani continued his relentless trolling by handing the ball off to ship it up to Boston Scott

as he drop-kicked the Giants yet again.

Hey, Giants fans, knock, knock.

Who's there?

Philly Sad Trombone.

Philly Sad Trombone who?

Wah, wah.

Eagles 38, Giants 7. That was a good one, Max, right? You love it, Max.
You love it. Tell me you love it.
Love it. Up to western New York where Snow Burrow felt comfortable from the opening whistle, driving down the field in his hearse.
Hayden, that is, for the Buffalo funeral. The Bengals also flash their baby-got running back with Joe Sir Mixonlot,

who loves playing in buff and he cannot lie.

Sean McKermit the Frog will get a win somewhere over the rainbow,

but that day isn't today, and no one circles the disappointing playoff losses

that make you question why you're a fan and what you ever did to deserve this,

like the Buffalo Bills.

Bengals 27, Bills 10.

We finished in San Francisco,

where whack Prescott threw pick after pick,

leaving Cowboys Nation and future betters

screaming at their TVs in disgust

like when Alan Ray's eye popped out

in that Villanova game back in the day.

Greg Littlehouse on the prairie

was singing and dancing on the sidelines

with Big Cock Purdy

after leading the scoring drive

Thank you. Allen Ray's eye popped out in that Villanova game back in the day.
Greg Littlehouse on the prairie was singing and dancing on the sidelines with Big Cock Purdy after leading the scoring drive to give the 49ers a lead.

Dalton Andrew Schultz canceled a long completion because he's a big, dumb idiot

and decided he didn't have to have both feet in bounds after a catch.

Speaking of big, fat, dumb idiots, Mike Fat Carthy called one of the worst plays

in NFL history, and the game came to an end as the cowboys fall to the 49ers 1912 that is nfl divisional round it was incredible the barstool golf time app makes it easy for golfers to find the best tee times at the best prices stop searching all over google for your next tee time Start searching multiple courses in your area from one app.

Niners at Eagles. Maybe not the most exciting weekend of football, but God damn did the games mean something.
And, you know, listen, any weekend spent watching 12 hours of football is a good weekend in my opinion. It was football, though.
We did get football this weekend, and we also got more football to look forward to next weekend. And the matchups that we have coming in next weekend and the storylines are going to be awesome they're going to be awesome so this was this was a setup weekend you ever watch like a show that you get really invested in and then they have one one episode where it's just kind of like a dud where they set up all the action for next week was it the fly episode that's what this one was this was the fly episode of the nfl and next weekend we got ozymandias and everybody's going to die.
Yeah, exactly. So it's, you know, I think we do have to be honest that it probably wasn't, you know, as awesome as the football we saw in Super Wild Card Weekend.
But we do have some great championship games set up. We've got a lot to get through.
We're going to do a chronological order. So you're going to wait to hear hank uh and his pitiful cowboys in a dac prescott jersey everyone go watch on youtube if you don't we get those episodes up right away shout out memes evan shane and uh max but yeah i will say that if you don't even watch the entire episode just go there and look at the thumbnail that they have for this weekend because i think it really captures the emotions of hank hank did you a picture of you.
It looked like you were in the crowd at the game. Did you see that? With your arm around a girl and she was crying and it looked like you were crying.
Did you see that picture? I didn't. Alright, we'll get to that game.
We'll put a pin in that. Let's start chronological order.
We might not have time. You're right.
The Chiefs 27, Jaguars 20.

The big story coming out of this is Patrick Mahomes' ankle.

He gets a high ankle sprain in what was like the second drive, third drive?

It was really early on, yeah.

It was very early on.

Chiefs were able to hold off the Jaguars. We had a Chad Henney 98-yard drive, which was fucking awesome to see him.

We're backup quarterback guys.

We know all the backup quarterbacks. We root for them.
chad henny comes in a divisional round playoff game and backed up in in his own end zone 98 yards which proved to be pretty important in a game that finished you know one score game yeah no chad henny is an all-time this is a revenge game for him too because he was on the jaguars for a long time this was the henny thing is possible game we saw one a couple years ago remember when they were playing against the browns yes and mahomes got injured and they put henny in the thing is they actually like henny is a great backup quarterback because you can trust him to do some fuck shit if you need it yeah so at the end of that game they had that fourth and one where they hit tyreek hill in the flat to get that first down and they put they put henny's balls out on the line and in this one they're they're like, okay, we're going to run the same playbook that we ran with Patrick Mahomes. We're just going to plug and play Henny in there.
Yeah, you almost threw an interception, but that's okay. Hey, you know who else almost throws a lot of interceptions? Patrick Mahomes.
Yeah, and Brock Purdy. And Brock Purdy.
No, but Patrick Mahomes, he takes chances. Patrick Mahomes might be a system quarterback in the sense that we're all just system human beings in life when you think about it.
But Henny came in. He fulfilled his role.
He did everything they needed him to do. And Trevor Lawrence lost for the first time in his life on Saturday.
And it was so the game was weird because Patrick Mahomes obviously getting injured was like the big storyline because you saw it. He gets injured.
He gets rolled up on his ankles fucked up. I think the next play they did a handoff and he could barely get back.
He could barely get to the handoff. You're like, oh, this is going to be a very big problem.
Show him on the sideline. The reports were that Andy Reid basically was like, I'm not putting you back in until you get an x-ray.
You have to get an x-ray, which credit to Andyed because you're in a playoff game and your star quarterback's demanding to get back in he's like you know kind of looking out for his long term like you're not going to play on a broken ankle um goes gets the x-ray chad henry chad henry drives him 98 yards he doesn't come back in until the second half but it was like the game i'm sitting we're sitting there watching the game and Doug Peterson, I don't know what it was, but like the second half, but it was like the game, we're sitting there watching the game, and Doug Peterson, I don't know what it was, but the second half, he was pretty conservative with offensive play calling, and they didn't blitz Mahomes, who really couldn't move much. They didn't really bring that much pressure after it was clear he couldn't move, and it felt like the Jaguars could have seized the moment and they just weren't able to do it.
It shows the insane amount of respect that teams have for Patrick Mahomes. Because I actually think Mahomes, when he was playing, he was doing this a lot.
He would take two steps on his left foot and then one on his right as he was hobbling around, trying to reduce how much he would be putting pressure on that leg. I think Patrick Mahomes, with one leg that doesn't work, is still a top 15 quarterback in the NFL yeah like legitimately but with all that said his ability to run and it's not even running for yards which he does a lot more in the playoffs so if you look at Patrick Mahomes in the regular season he averages about 20 yards a game in the playoffs he's averaging 30 yards a game if you remember that Bills that incredible Bills game last year he had like 65 yards like that he was a difference maker with his feet but it's it's more that he just keeps plays alive in the pocket so much and how he's able to float and get to different spots not having him be able to do that is a big big concern for the chiefs and i don't tony romo was saying you know we have we have thoughts on tony romo which i think a lot of people have started to agree with us, but he played quarterback in the NFL.
He had this injury, and he was like, it's not a guarantee that Patrick Mahomes is going to play next week because he's probably not going to be able to be in crutches this week. He's not going to be able to practice at all, and then he's going to try to just get out there and play.
He will because he's Patrick Mahomes, and he's a tough motherfucker. But that injury is not like, oh, it's okay.
He's got an ankle sprain. It's going to hurt them a lot.
He definitely woke up today and was like, oh, shit, I didn't realize it was going to be this bad. Yeah, right.
With a high ankle sprain. When you have it, adrenaline takes you for a while.
The swelling hasn't set in yet because you've got your socks on, your compression on. Keep those shoes on.
Tighten them up. You've got your shoes tied really tight.
Yep. And then they taped the fuck out of it.
They put like three layers of tape on that thing. And then you go home, you take your shoes off, you lay down, you go to sleep, you wake up in the morning, you're like, oh, it looks like a giant frog is eating my leg right now.
Billy would probably love it. But that's what he's going through today.
And then you're right, he's not going to be able to play on it, not going to be able to put pressure on it this week. He'll probably play this weekend but I would say he's gonna play but he's gonna be diminished yeah you're not gonna get full Mahomes and I again I don't even think it's like running the football which he does do very well in the playoffs it's more just being as mobile as he is in the in the uh you know behind the line of scrimmage and keeping plays alive and how many times have we seen Mahomes like you know spin out of the pocket or float backwards and keep a play going and then hit someone deep downfield I you know it's different now that they can game plan for it we'll get to the Bengals game how like what stinks said on Friday was exactly what happened where if you know what your limitations are you can at least game plan for it it was clear during the second half of that game it was like he can't He he basically can't move at all yeah but shout out to the to the Jaguars defense for keeping it um relatively consistent with what they were doing all year long I think they were the last place team in the entire NFL at guarding tight ends yeah and so Travis Kelsey goes out there catches 14 balls so he's now yeah so Travis Kelsey we're getting the debate again uh who's the best tight end of all time? Baby Gronk.
Yeah, Kelsey or Gronk. And then also just forgetting Tony Gonzalez existed.
But that's probably Kelsey or Gronk now. Kelsey, though, is now second all time in playoff receptions.
Jerry Rice, number one at 151. Kelsey at 120.
And our guy Jules at 118. Wow.
Future of famer julian hall of famer julian edmund but kelsey is just it's he's just always open and it's he's just better than everyone yeah i like he the little things that he does and the the pockets of space and it is a testament to like how mahomes and they had one play. Mahomes missed him by a yard.
He basically sat down in the wrong place. It was so weird to see because you're like, these guys are always – they basically have – their minds are one and the same where he knows exactly where he's going to be and Mahomes will hit him like the minute he comes out of a route.
It's crazy watching them play and how in sync they are yeah so this is going to be uh in terms of the afc championship game since 2011 this is going to be i believe the sixth one played in kansas city no uh there's five straight five straight five straight so it's been held in three places since 2011 it's been held in kansas city it's been held in Pittsburgh, and it's been held in New England.

So, yeah, so the Patriots went to eight straight AFC Championship games.

I don't think those weren't eight straight home games in a row.

The Chiefs are now in their fifth straight AFC Championship game

at Arrowhead.

We were obviously waiting to see if the Bills possibly won.

It would be in Atlanta, but it's crazy.

It's crazy to like – and you know what, though though I the conversation will it sucks because he got injured um because it just changes what the Chiefs are able to do but the Chiefs do have to win their set are we ready to be like Chiefs got to win their second one soon because you go to five straight AFC championship games so yeah and youomes, his greatness is insane. I think everyone acknowledges it now that he's the best quarterback in the NFL.
You got to win another one. I think if they go to another one, or if the Bengals beat them this weekend, then we got a whole other problem, which is just that Joe Burrow owns your franchise.
But, yeah, you kind of look at his contract and the crazy amount of money that you paid him, and every Chiefs fan out there would be like, we expect to win at least three Super Bowls over the course of this contract. And if you don't, I don't even, like, can you even, it feels dumb to be like, is Patrick Mahomes a disappointment because he's so much better than anything that we'd seen previous to Patrick Mahomes? Yeah.
In certain ways, like, as a quarterback in terms of the throws he can make and the way that he plays, he's like a unicorn. He's a one-of-a-kind guy.
But on the other hand, you do expect more from a guy like that. Well, it's also, if you asked me to put my life on the line, will Patrick Mahomes win another Super Bowl, I'd say yes.
But it's more like what the chiefs as a team their dominance has been incredible the last five years and going to five straight afc championship games and the nfl is kind of written in like you know there's decades of dominance by you know teams like as you go through like the cowboys are in the 90s and then the patriots had it for the last 20 like they have to have to win another one to have this decade stretch. You know, like, otherwise it's like, oh, they won one.
Like, a lot of guys have won one. Aaron Rodgers.
Trent Tilfer. Yeah.
Joe Flacco. Joe Flacco.
Speaking of Joe Flacco. You can throw those guys out there.
I read a stat earlier. If you were to put together the first five years of Joe Flacco's career side by side with the first five years of Patrick Mahomes' career in terms of postseason, I think they had the exact same number of postseason wins and Super Bowls.
Is that true? Yeah. Doesn't that feel weird? I feel like we've got to fact check.
Is that true? Fact check it. No shot.
Speaking of fact checks, also Denver. Flacco was great.
Denver's hosted the AFC title game twice. Okay.
There we go. Thanks, Peyton Manning.
Yeah. Yeah.
Yeah. That's true.
Good call. That's true.
Good call. There's no way Flacco won that many in his.
Maybe I was mistaken Denver for Pittsburgh. Maybe Pittsburgh.
Pittsburgh was 2011. Okay.
Okay. When did Flacco come in the league? He came in the league 2000.
I want to say 2009, 2008. All right.
So, all right. So, so 2009 he had three wins.
Five, seven. Yeah, you might be right.
11, yeah. Flacco was kind of a beast in his first five years.
Flacco Mahomes. They're the same picture.
The meme. They're the exact same picture.
Also, shout out to the Kansas City potato girl. Did you see the potato girl in the stands? Owned her.
Yeah. Owned the Jaguars fan.
She was eating a hot baked potato, just like raw dogging a baked potato that she had in her pocket. And a Jaguars fan tried to sniper in the stands and take a picture and be like, look at this freak eating a baked potato.
Like, that's not perfectly normal Midwestern behavior. Yeah.
And she got him on the reverse picture of him taking the picture of her. Shamed his ass.
I'm in favor of eating a baked potato at a football game, especially if it's cold. It's a hand warmer.
And it's a delicious treat. Yeah.
Why wouldn't you eat it? So, yeah, Billy, I mean, we have to talk to you about how the trip went. And you were in the stands with memes.
You made the video. Give us everything that's in your brain right now.
Kansas City and the actions and stuff that takes place around Arrowhead on game day is a totally different world. And I don't think you'll ever understand it unless you are in it or you watch the video coming out next week nice nice but it is a it's your only two options yeah it's it's it's crazy really i don't know wait billy when you say the video coming out next week when do we think this video is gonna be out uh thursday okay good because i was gonna say it would be bad if you put it out after the chiefs i mean this this week this week this week okay uh but basically uh, I don't mean this is a knock on Kansas City,

but almost everything is centered around Arrowhead Stadium.

Like, it is.

The only thing that's there is the Kansas City Chiefs, barbecue, jazz,

and nothing else.

Shout out jazz.

Yeah.

You know jazz clubs?

They're known for their jazz.

Kansas City jazz, yeah.

Yeah.

They got a good bridge there, too. I remember.
Oh, and a good zoo. Low-key, a good zoo.
Airport sucks, though. Airport, but kind of nice because no lines.
Yeah, no, it's like a bus terminal. And the Royals.
And the Royals. Yeah, the Royals do exist.
George Brett's there. Yeah.
And the MLS team. And the MLS team.
So did you get to the bottom of bottom of it like can you tell us a little bit about this

video you did you did a bunch of interviews right yep i interviewed a bunch of super fans met a lot of really awesome people who were involved in the tailgate scene shout out vandy reed and that gang uh around there throw an awesome tailgate uh met weird wolf uh fake andy reed okay uh and we got an exclusive interview

with the man formerly known

as Red Extreme, who you may remember was the guy who knocked out X-Factor. His side of the story.
Words were said that he was sleeping with X-Factor's girl, and it gets to the bottom of it. Yes, but we got some truth and some answers okay deal with some also all right so

a couple other questions one is so you're still wearing your kansas city chief stuff billy did say i was taking the elevator up with him he's like i think i'm gonna go full heel and just be a chiefs fan for the rest of the playoffs i was like i don't think that's really yeah what's heel it's just so we like chiefs yeah like i don't i like chiefs fans pat from homes is incredible That's fucking lame.

It's so fun rooting for an actually good team. Yeah, yeah.
I mean, by the way, Arrowhead is the craziest game day environment I've ever been in, especially the crowd in the stadium. When Patrick Mahomes came back on the field, it was like the second coming of Christ.
Were people worried? Yeah, in the stands. Because being in a game, you don't really get updates on the injuries.
We saw him limping, but we didn't know how bad it was. Then he went out, and just like everyone was worried about Patrick Mahomes.
It was like they worship Patrick Mahomes. We were walking into the stadium, and there was rock.
It sounded like Christian rock music, but the hook was them singing about Patrick Mahomes. And they were blasting this.
Like, you know, like, like you hear the, like those Christian rock music is like Jesus is our savior. This was like Patrick Mahomes.
Like the, it was the craziest, like, I don't want to say it was cultish, but like the, their obsession and love for the team was something that was just so amazing. It was, it was really awesome.
Did you get a chance to meet Jackson Mahomes? So Jackson might not – Jackson's been playing it low key, you know, for various reasons. I was thinking they harvest his leg and they give it to Patrick.
Yeah. Same DNA.
Exactly. You could chop off and do a transplant.
Yeah. He's a dancer.
He's got quick twitch muscles. Breaking moves.
Breaking moves. Are you going to do the cow? I just got a text message.
Hank doesn't like when we name drop, so I won't say who sent me this text message. They may or may not have been playing any game this weekend.

He texted saying, next time I'm on the pot, I'm going for Hank's throat.

Oh, wow.

That could be anybody.

It could have been anyone,

but it also could have been someone who just got back to the locker room

and got their phone.

Oh, wow.

So we don't know.

Brett Maher.

Could have been anyone.

It was a long time.

Dak Prescott.

Yeah.

Could have been anyone.

Hank, who do you think it was? Trent Williams? Yeah, probably. Probably pissed him off.
It was for the boys. Pretty good, yeah.
Yeah. So you worried? No.
Okay. So, Billy.
Back to the Chiefs. So, Billy, you loved it in Kansas City.
I take the move back. Also, I really don't recommend ever putting on any sort of mask in a bank parking lot, no matter even if you go in the building.
That's a good. Especially in a big concealed carry state.
Yep. That's a great tease for the video.
Yeah, that is a great. That's a great tease for the video.
So overall, great, great time. It was awesome.
I did injure Patrick Mahomes. People were saying that it's Billy's fault.
Yes. I mean, sure.
But, you know. Okay, so everyone can direct their hate to Billy on that one.
Yeah, but it was the birth of Willie Wolfe. Willie Wolfe.
Okay. The new Kansas City super fan.
Willie Wolfe. But the good news is for Chiefs-a-holic, if the Chiefs win the Super Bowl, he's going to have enough money for bail.
Because he cashes, what, a $200,000 bet? Yeah, he has a future. Yeah, they're doing this for Chiefsaholic.
Was that a rallying cry where people like free Chiefsaholic? Well, everybody loved. So, I mean, I was carrying around a bag that looked like I robbed a bank, and everyone's loving it.
Man, it would have been a real shame if you'd gotten shot. I mean, being a super fan, being a super fan is, I can see how it gets so addicting.
I mean, they make the NFL go around. Yeah.
They're the lifeblood of the league. Walking around the tailgate dressed as a super fan, people were going nuts.
And it was a different kind of, it can easily go to your head. The NFL really should lean into it, too.
When the Browns signed Deshaun Watson, they should just have the press conference be a super fan.

And just be like, listen.

That drunk guy.

Yeah, listen, he's a good quarterback.

I'm not here to talk about anything else.

This guy can throw a fucking pigskin, all right?

This is just how it works.

Billy, did you get the sense that there was a pecking order, like a hierarchy of super fans in Kansas City? Oh, there was not only a hierarchy, there was different factions, there was separations. It was even more interesting than I thought going into it.
Who's at the top? Who's the goat superfan in Kansas City? Well, there's a power vacuum. Oh, no.
There's a power vacuum. That's very dangerous.
Yeah. The lots.
It's like when El Chapo got arrested. Everyone starts shooting each other up.
I mean, it's like Iraq after Saddam gets capped. Like, there's all these differing guys trying to get power.
Like, there was literally new super fans popping up that no one even heard of who were trying to vie to be the next guy. Like, the lot was a very interesting anthropo...
You got it. Okay.
We know what you're saying. Yeah.
Study. Got it.
We got what you're saying yeah we got it yeah no that's like when you read when someone does the uh test where you can read the words and the letters are all mumbled but you can actually still read it we got that anthropological yeah yeah yeah but it was sick it was antherapology yeah i'm glad that you went bill looking forward to the Vice-style video content. Yeah.
Yeah. Now, this is where the hard, because we got all the footage, but now I'm really going to try to cut this up to like- Wait, you are? Not memes? Well, memes is busy.
Evan and I are really going to- Remember, Billy learned how to edit. Yeah, that's right.
You learned how to edit. I need my hand held a little, but I'm trying, I really want it to be really cool for you Listen, I'm not, I'm rooting for the video to come out great.
But it would also be very funny if it was just a silent video. Like no sound ever.
You forgot to plug in something. At one point, we were at the tailgate and we had all the releases.
And at one point, it was like, do you have the releases? Oh, no. If we don't have the releases, we can't release any of this footage but no you don't need releases no i mean they're wearing masks no one cares yeah yeah you won't get sued probably um we ended up driving an hour north after the game to locate a lot a super fan who no longer goes to the games it was we we we got the connects down on the ground and then we branched up and bill, I do somewhat owe you an apology for the centuries debate that we had last week.
So I still think, for the most part, I was right, but there's a way that you could be right also about it. So you're back, re-invited to my birthday party.
Oh, thank you. There we go.
Oh, I'm pumped. Love it.
All right, so last things on this game, Jaguars next up. It did feel like it was an unbelievable season.
Doug Peterson was going to be in running for coach of the year. Trevor Lawrence is definitely the real deal and they just fell short because they were not...
Even with Patrick Mahomes injured. I think if Patrick Mahomes doesn't get injured, I think that's a blowout.
The way it felt like it was going in the first half of a quarter. The Jags could have won the game.
Agnew, that fumble that he had down in the red zone, that really ended the game for the Jaguars. But they were going in.
There's a world where the Jaguars win that game, and they beat the Chiefs. It was like the perfect storm of everything that they needed to happen in that game, and it almost happened.
But, yeah, it does feel like the season before the season for the Jaguars. Yeah, right.
Where, like, Trevor Lawrence is waiting in the tunnels for everybody after the game was over, dapping everybody up.

The league is in good hands with all the young head coaches

that we have out there.

You can build on this.

Like Doug Peterson.

Yes, you can build on this.

Also, Harrison Bucker nailed two, I think, 50-plus yard field goals,

which is good for the Chiefs because the Chiefs,

we've said it all along, their special teams has been a little bit scary all season long. I think they gave up a long run back too in this game.
And then the last thing I had was, did you know that Frank Clark is fourth all-time in sacks in the postseason? That's kind of crazy. No, I did not know that.
Big-time player. Makes big-time plays.
So it's Willie McGinnis has 16. Yeah.
Bruce Smith has 14.5. Terrell Suggs has 12.5.
Frank Clark has 12. So if he goes to the Super Bowl this year, he could be number one all time.
That's crazy. Goes double-double.
This is such a good defense for him to play in, too, where they're protecting leads all the time. Yeah, and we were watching the game with our friend Kyle Long, which was awesome because he played on the Chiefs last year, but he'll also just throw in a couple random things that make you feel really stupid about football.
And he's like, Frank Clark is the best defensive end that he's ever seen in terms of guessing the snap count. He always is trying to get that extra edge, and he gets it a lot of times.
I don't know who the right tackle is for the Jaguars, but shout out that guy because he's off or he's a he false starts on every single play yeah and this goes back to the chargers game he's like two steps into the back they don't call it because he does it every time yeah so he's like consistent so the ref's always thinking like this guy really knows his own snap count he's got an incredible first step yeah but he just cheats on every play and gets away with it so how how injured do we think patro home is going to look on sund? Four. Four out of ten.
Out of six. I was going to say he's going to be a six and a half out of eight.
That's about the same. Yeah, about.
Four out of six. Six.
You think he's going to be more injured than I do? A little bit more. Just a touch bit more.
Okay, I think I don't see him wearing a walking boot during the week this week. He was wearing one leaving the locker room.
Oh, he was? He was. He was.
That changes it. Yeah.
All right, then I'm going with 5.15 out of 7. They always say an ankle sprain is worse than a break.
It is, yeah. Yeah.
A high ankle sprain, too, just sucks. I think that the term ankle sprain does that injury actually quite quite a disservice yeah because it looks like it hurts like shit it's like stretched ligaments would would be more like you're all your ligaments got jacked up are torn even some probably got torn but you think ankle sprain and you're like oh my math teacher sprained her ankle yeah and she just kept going to work like it's it doesn't sound as bad yeah like i sprained my ankle walking off a curb funny yeah there are a few things like i would say the uh the bends if you say somebody has the bends that doesn't sound as bad as it actually is where you could die from it but the bend sounds like it's a cramp yes but a high ankle sprain it's uh it's gonna be tough for him to be explosive on yes and it's um yeah maybe he i mean he's a gamer so he'll he'll obviously i would put anything on the fact that he's going to play it's just how limited he will be i i still think like if i watching that play and arden key fall on his ankle that way like if i were in the nfl i would just be like shoot me like a horse get the get the curtain out the shower curtain out just you know have everyone no one needs to see me get shot like a horse it's the tarp yeah just Shoot me like a horse.
Get the curtain out, the shower curtain out. Just, you know, have everyone.
No one needs to see me get shot like a horse. It's the tarp, yeah.
Just shoot me like a horse right on the field. I don't want to deal with this pain.
He has the tarp, and he just straight up got up and ran to the sidelines, and then he got mad at his own body. He was, like, pissed at his ankle for failing him, and then he was pissed off at Andy Reid for not putting him back in the game.
Even though he was injured. Even though he was clearly injured.
Yeah. Shout out Andy Reid.
Turf toe is another one that hurts like shit, but it sounds like a little baby injury. Oh, turf toe is the weakest injury you could possibly get.
It's basically a stubbed toe. Yeah.
Not even. Except Dion had to cut his foot off, basically.
Yes, that's true. Turf toe could do that.

Okay. Saturday night.
Philadelphia Eagles 38, New York Giants 7. This game was over at 7 a.m.
in City Center, Philadelphia, when some enterprising Byrds fan blew up the water main and the Giants couldn't get any water in their hotel. So shout out Philadelphia.
Great sports town. It also was doubly over when the Giants won the coin flip and elected to kick off.
And the Eagles went right down the field and it was as easy as easy gets. And holy shit, did they demolish the Giants? Yeah, it's tough.
Like if you're a Giants fan, you're probably pumped that you you want a playoff game this year Brian Dable looks like he's an awesome coach Daniel Jones had glimpses where he looked like he was without a doubt the future and then this game happened and now you're going into the offseason like a little bummed out and as as pumped as you are for Brian Dable and you're like this guy's got balls he had one of the saddest punts of the year in the fourth quarter. So it was 28-7.
The Eagles were absolutely pacing the Giants, and it was fourth and six at the New York Giants 42, so midfield-ish. It was a short six, too.
It was a short six. It was pretty much five and a half.
No, it was actually the double whammy, because it was second down, second and one. Daniel Jones did the dumbest thing ever, and he just ran out of bounds when he couldn't find anyone to throw to and took a five-yard loss.
Inexcusable. Then you get to fourth and six, 13-21 left in the game.
You're down 21 points on your own 42, and Brian Dable elected to punt and they didn't get the ball back for uh until there was five minutes left in the game the eagles just ran the ball down their throats ran their ball down their throats and they got the ball back with with five minutes left in the game it was for all the goodwill like i think brian dable's an incredible coach i think he's got a long future with the New York Giants.

But then you have one of those things.

It's like a guy you meet, and it's like, oh, this guy I'm hitting off with is fun, like a new friend.

And then he has one thing, and you're like, wait, is he kind of a psycho?

That was my one thing where I was like, wait, is he kind of like a pussy, or what's going on here?

Is he a coward?

Like, what is happening here? Because everything he's done this year right he's pulled the right strings for the entirety of the season and then he did that one thing and you're like whoa this is kind of fucked up yeah it was bad it was it was very bad at the end but he i mean there's been so much good that you have coming out of brian yeah and and the offense just looked entirely different from what it's been in the past with joe judge. And you have a lot to look forward to if you're a Giants fan.

Now, with Daniel Jones, he seems to have played himself into a situation where he's the most valuable to the Giants, I think.

And the Giants can get the most for their money out of Daniel Jones.

So they're in a weird situation where he's not going to command top, top-tier money.

But he might command, I don't know, $30 million a year? Yeah. And do you want to pay Daniel Jones $30 million a year? Are you sure this is a guy that you want to commit to long-term? Because this game, ironically, this game, the fact that he got there made you want to pay him that money, and then the way that he played definitely makes you think, like, I don't know, Jim.
He's a big-time guy. Yeah, because it was – and listen, I'm a terrible gambler.
I'm wrong with a lot of my opinions, but every now and then I am right. We talked – and I'm saying this not as hindsight.
I'm saying this because we talked about this exact thing on Friday. The New York Giants had a fantastic year.
The New York Giants also, their last three wins heading into the playoffs were the Texans, the commanders who got screwed by the refs, and the Colts. They stumbled into the playoffs, and then they beat the team that everyone agreed was the most fraudulent 13-3 team, 14-3 team, whatever the Vikings ended up with.
We all agreed the Vikings were frauds. They diced them up because the Vikings' defense was absolutely abysmal, and he did play spectacular like daniel jones was spectacular last weekend and then people went into this weekend being like watch out for the giants like i don't i in and credit to eagles they flexed exactly how they should have as the one seed as the best team in the nfc all year and they absolutely demolished if you're a giants fan in a sick sick perverted way you're probably rooting a little bit for the Eagles to go out and dominate the 49ers because then you can be like, all right, we're not that bad.
The Eagles are just that good. We're not that far away.
We're pretty close. Look what they did to the Niners.
We were on that same level. But it was one of those games that I think we all, again, it was the Giants fans, I do not begrudge them whatsoever.
When you win the Super Bowl as a 9-7 team and a 10-6 team, and you have those incredible, miraculous runs, anytime you win a playoff game, you probably tell yourself, oh, this is happening again. We're going to do it again.
And it was like every single position felt like the Eagles were better. Every single position.
There wasn't one thing that the Giants did all night where I was like, ooh, they got an edge here. It was just whatever the Eagles wanted, whenever they wanted it, they abused them.
I'm trying to think of everything that we saw in that game, and if there's anybody on the Eagles that you would take over their counter position on the Giants, and I don't know that there is. I mean, you could maybe make the argument for Saquon.
Over Boston Scott? Yeah Boston Scott. Boston Scott the fucking he's the giant killer.
It's a troll they're trolling. Sirianni knows exactly what's going on the Eagles are trolling the Giants at this point.
What is it? It's like he's played 50 games and scored I think it's like something like 8 touchdowns and then he's played 9 games against the Giants and scored like 11 touchdowns it's something ridiculous like that. He's scored more touchdowns against the Giants than he has against not the Giants.
And Sierra and I definitely knows exactly what he's doing on that. He has 18 career touchdowns, 11 of them.
They are trolling. They basically, whenever they play the Giants, they're like, if we get down, I bet you they even tell Miles Sanders, they're like, listen, you're our number one back, but when we play the Giants, we have to keep trolling them.
You understand that this is hilarious, right, Miles? This is becoming a very funny joke. Miles is like, listen, I know that I have escalators in my contract where I make $200,000 per touchdown in the playoffs, but this is just too funny.
For the lols. This is just too funny.
Put this guy in. So, Max, I imagine that you're probably very, very excited, very confident.
You did the in on the first touchdown where you got up no it wasn't even the first touchdown it was the the deep ball to davante smith yeah that's all i need it was a sick pass and a sick catch max did the thing where he stands up and he gets he gets mad at everybody around him because he's so pumped up about the Eagles, and you just see everybody like they're the enemy.

Yeah.

No, that's fact.

Marty said some dumb shit to me when I walked into the room when I was getting in the zone,

and I basically knew that he was going to be my guy that I had to go after when I needed some excitement

because there needs to be an enemy in my sight at all times.

Are you a little upset that the Giants didn't make it more of a close contest?

You were kind of on cruise control for most of the game. Yeah i like that i probably was taking naps yeah like he was during commercials he was closing his eyes being like i just gotta rest up keep my energy i mean it was the the quarters in there was tough yeah there it was tight we were tight it's it gets hot in that hoboken room i sweating.
My sweatshirt was probably a little too small.

It was... It was difficult in there.

Jason Kelsey had such a sick block.

One of those one-handed

choke slams.

Shout out memes. That guy is going

to retire and he's going to be retiring

at the top of his game.

Memes tweeted Travis Kelsey by accident

and everyone's like, you guys don't know ball. So that sucked.
But here's Max. Oh, right in the middle.
Oh, oh, oh, oh. We're going early enough.
Right in your fucking face. We're going early enough.
Right in your fucking face. We're going early and often.
Right in your fucking face. It was early and often.
It was early and often. I didn't say anything wrong.
It was like maybe two minutes into the game. The Eagles ran for 45 times for 268 yards.
And the best thing that happened in this game was Jalen Hurts looks awesome. Looked fine.
He looked fine. I still think he's probably, I would say he's 95% because there were still a couple runs that peak Jalen Hurts would probably run over the linebacker, not slide, but that's okay.
I also noticed that those came earlier. Like in the first couple drives, he was taking the slides.
And then as he started to feel a little bit more comfortable, he did start to take a couple of those hits. Yeah.
I think the coaching point before the game was like, hey, Jalen, please take care of your body. The Giants were probably going to beat him anyways.
And so in the first quarter, he remembered that. And then as the game went on, he was just like, fuck it.
I'm playing football now. Right.
And Lane Johnson also looked okay. Yeah.
I mean, he did what Lane Johnson does. And Hurts had all day to throw the entire night.
If you were to say what your biggest area of concern is with the Eagles, what would that be? I guess Rundy, just because that's the only thing all year that we've shown any sort of weakness. Yeah.
It's a good thing the 49ers aren't great at running the football. Yeah, I know.
I know. We'll get to that later.
We'll get to that. But, I mean, the Niners can win the game ugly.
If there was the one team left right now with Mahomes' situation and the Bengals' O-line, the Niners are probably the last team that I would like to see left on both sides. Right.
Right. So what you're saying is this weekend is for the Super Bowl.

Oh, well, I'm not going to say that.

That's what you just said right now.

I'm saying this.

You said this is the real Super Bowl.

But I don't know what the Bengals line is going to look like or how Mahomes is going

to look come Super Bowl.

So I'm not saying that.

I know you're trying to put words in my mouth.

I mean, you basically say, Hank, fact or fiction.

It sounded like Max was saying that this is the Super Bowl.

He was just talking.

Well, he was just talking pre-gaming the Super Bowl.

Yeah.

Well, no, he just said the Niners are scary. But he's talking about the Bengals and the Chiefs.
But we're not scared. The Eagles are...
What does the Bengals and the Chiefs have to do with the 49ers, Max? I was just saying, I was just talking about the Niners. Don't let him do this to you.
Lane Johnson? Lane Johnson? I was just saying that they're a respectable foe. Lane Johnson pass blocked on 26 snaps on Saturday night.
Zero sacks, zero pressures, zero QB hits, 0.0 pressure rate, and that's up against Kayvon Thibodeau. That looks pretty fine to me.
Pretty good. So, yeah, the Eagles look healthy.
That's the one thing I would say, too, is the Niners' defense is very scary, but the Eagles' offensive line is one of the best units left. If you did a ranking, maybe we'll do that Wednesday or Friday, like a ranking of all the units left, the Eagles offensive line is up there.
I'd say, yeah, they're a top two unit. Yeah, right.
They're fucking really, really good. We'll have to do a unit off as opposed to a guy off.
Yeah, A room off. Yeah.
Like, who's wide receiver room?

Who's, I mean, there's a lot of, there's some fucking good.

There's some good rooms.

There's a shitload of good rooms out there in the NFL. I think I'd go Bengals.

Niners, Eagles are both kind of the same rooms in terms of wide receivers.

Bengals wide receiver room is really good.

No, I said Bengals one.

Yeah.

And then it's Niners, Eagles.

I don't know.

Those are some good rooms. Really good rooms.
Those are really good rooms. Who has the best running back room in the NFL? I mean, right now, if you went the Niners, because you get Debo.
Yeah, you get Debo in there. And Christian McCaffrey.
And Elijah Mitchell. And Jushek, too.
All right, we'll do a room off later on this week. But yeah,, I mean, this was a fun game to watch because it was just – It was a nice little appetizer.
Yeah. A nice little appetizer.
Just not even a sweat. It was boring.
It was relaxing. It was boring.
Yeah. It was actually boring how dominant the Eagles were.
I was ready to fucking get in every single one of their faces all night, and I just didn have to. Yeah.
Nick Sirianni is such a good coach but also at the same time he irritates me to no end. I mean he's the corniest guy alive.
He's so corny. He's the corniest guy alive.
Thank God he's a good coach because if he was a bad coach we would be having a feel. Like you can't you can't really like if, you know, he showed them eight mile.
He played eight mile for them, you know, on Friday night. He was with the chains in the locker room after.
He does so much corny shit. It's basically Fred Hoiberg, when he was, like, circling the drain with the Bulls, he showed them, like, anchorman clips being like, look, you guys got to have fun.
And it was like, he's a bad coach and he's corny. This sucks.
If you're a good coach and you're corny, you can get away with it. Yeah.
Oh, yeah. The results are there.
Yeah. He's got such good players and he is a very good coach, a very good technician.
But I just know that I don't want to gas him up too much because the second that there's a crack in the armor, I'm going to have way too much fun being like, hey, you're basically like Nathaniel Hackett if he did stand-up comedy. Yeah, right.
Like, Nick Sirianni, this is not a threat. It could be seen as a threat.
Don't ever lose eight to ten games in a regular season because we're coming. Yeah.
We're coming. I'm going to love it.
Yeah, we're going to go hard. I'm waiting.
But he's a very good coach, so he gets a pass. I'm not going to love it.
Great coach. Great coach.
He's probably one of the top three or four coaches left in the NFL right now. Last year, what he did, I mean, the growth of Jalen Hurts and how he's built this entire offense around a guy who a lot of people questioned, is he an actual starter in the NFL? And now's an mvp candidate and like everything they do it's it's it's crazy their eagles are stacked they're loaded brock purdy's got to come in the link they don't know the link they don't know the link they don't the link's gonna be oh the link the link's gonna be ready they can they can ask the vikings in 2017 about what championship looks like.
Yeah. They don't know the link.
I fucking love it. Also, the chains broke.
Oh, yeah. That was crazy.
And we had our ref call the weekend. Yeah.
You got that, Jake. Yeah.
So we can officially... I was going to do it on Wednesdays, but I can do it right now.
Yeah. Congratulations to Walt Coleman IV, the line judge.
It was a really good call. Wait, is that Walt Coleman's son? Yeah.
Like the referee? Walt Coleman's grandson, too. There's so many.
And great-grandson. Great-grandson.
There's so many sons that end up in refereeing. It's like a family trade.
So there was a third down and four in the second quarter. It looked like the receiver caught it past the line to gain.
We all thought it was a bad spot and then they replay it and the line judge was all over the correct spot because he bobbled it. It was two yards back.
Didn't even hesitate. No hesitation.
That's a hell of a call. Shout out Walcombe in the fourth.
Congratulations to the inaugural part of my take officiating call of the week presented by Ryan Russillo. All right.
Love it. Love it.
That's great. Stripes lives matter.
Yes. So we'll do that every week.
Yeah. It was a great spot.
I saw your tweet right away. I was like, Jake was on top of it.
The chain gang, when the chain broke, that was such an unexpectedly long delay in the game to repair a chain. Yeah.
Because you would think that they probably just got another chain right behind them that they just swap right in. No, no, no, no, no.
They had to import the chain. The chain was kept under lock and key, I guess, in the locker room.
And a lot of people were saying, why don't we just go full-time electronics, use the chip in the football? I'm going to say I'm pro-chain. Yeah.
I like the chain. It's fun to move the chain.
The chain's fun. You get the measurements where they come out on the field and you get to see the referee, look at the chain, look at the ball.
It's an old-school way to do it. It's simple.
Not everything has to be done with a computer. I agree.
Sometimes just a chain and two sticks works. It's fun.
It's fun. Move the chains.
You can't move the electronic. Move the sensor range.
No, you move the chains. You've got to move the chains.
Yeah, you've got to keep moving the chains. All right, anything else on this game? Hank, what did you think about the Eagles? They're a good team.
Super Bowl favorites. If they don't win the Super Bowl, it's a huge letdown.
Okay, that's the takeaway from the weekend now. No, it's definitely not.
They're the class of the beast. They're literally not Super Bowl favorites right now.
Yeah, they actually are not. I think they're third, right? Yeah.
Wait, did you ask me what I thought about the Eagles? No, no. You said they're favorites, and they're not.
They're my Super Bowl favorites. Yeah, what do we got? Which is what you asked me for.
Bengals and Chiefs tied at plus 250. Eagles plus 275.
Niners plus 300. So they're not Super Bowl favorites.
They are the one seed, though. Yeah.
Still. Oh, you're so close to getting the one seed.
And still the one seed. Again, you were just two games away.
Two games go differently. You get the one seed.
Two games. Hank, say something nice about the City of Philadelphia Challenge.
Did your mic cut out? I forgot sports bar. Call it the bar still stands.
Jake, that's so. No, you can't give it to him.
You can't do that, Jake. Say something else.
Anything nice. Just one nice thing.
Nothing. They almost won the mls championship this year they did and they almost won the world series uh the no hitter that they had in the world series technically it wasn't a perfect no hitter because there's multiple pitchers it was funny when we were watching uh the stream and uh we had you know i don't know seven giants fans seven eagles fans and because the game got so bad it just became shit talking about baseball and at one point uh there were the eagles fans were making fun of aaron judge and they're like bryce harper's a loser and then i think smitty said how many world series has aaron judge played in and i was like guys, we got to get back to the football here because this is not a good argument.

Hank, no one's winning this one.

You know what you should be rooting for is just for Philadelphia

to lose as many sports championships as possible.

Like they lost MLS.

They lost Hank or Max, cover your ears.

They lost baseball.

What if they lost football and they lost NBA all in the same year I will say this as much as I do disdain the Eagles and Sixers and fans of those franchises I am a company man and if the Eagles win that's good for everyone so me too and it's Max. 22-1 kid.
So, yeah. I mean, if I had to root for a team, I guess it would be the Eagles.
Wow. Okay.
But I'm not going to root for anyone. Okay.
So, you're going to stick back. As you say that in your Dak Prescott jersey.
In your acid wash jean shorts. It's been a tough day.
I've been mourning. Yeah.
The troll blew up in your face in spectacular fashion your bridge crumbled down oh my god right now you're buried underneath a pile of stones and suspension cables because you had it too where you're like I just wanted to believe in something I know before Saturday night started you're like giants the Eagles have looked kind of sketchy the last few weeks giants look look good you were talking yourself into the giants and then when the eagles demolish the giants you're like all right cowboys cowboys will fix this and you just every every lily pad you jump to just fell into the bottom of the ocean yeah pretty much yeah so you're jumping to philly now you just said that no you said that you had to pick one team but i said then i said i'm but i'm not but if you had Catch your lily now. You just said that.
No, you said that if you had to pick one team. Then I said, but I'm not.
But if you had to. That's your lily pad.
Yeah. I don't want.
No, it sounds like Hank's on your lily pad. I will not be begging this guy to join on this bandwagon.
Hank, are you going to do it? No. Like I said, it's good for Big Cat.
It's good for business. Your next move is what? I think I'm going to start handicapping the kickoff.

Okay. Yeah.
That's what I'm going to dive in. Yeah, I'm going to start looking at that.
I mean, that was a great call last year. I know.
Yeah. So I got to follow it up.
Okay. I'm going to spend.
I'm going to really lock in this week. For the Super Bowl.
Okay. All right.
All right. Let's go to Sunday.
Bengals 27, Bills 10. the Bengals showed up in Buffalo snow game and absolutely took it to the Bills like this this score was closer than the Eagles Giants game but it wasn't much different in terms of the domination like the Bengals dominated the Bills from the get-go like they went down the field easy.
We're up 14-0. It was insanely impressive.
The Bengals, not only with their offensive line, they dominated the line of scrimmage with a banged-up offensive line. They ran the ball down their throats.
They ran for 172 yards. Joe Burrow got sacked one time.
They had eight different guys catch passes. They had two all game they played like a perfect game they completely dominated the bills and joe burrow remains the coolest motherfucker alive and he and he had the uh send the refunds uh quote after the game when they asked him about you know all the people who bought tickets and got hotels for the atlanta afc championship game between the bills Chiefs.
He's like, yeah, I better get those refunds. So the Bengals just dominated.
I mean, Cincinnati has a very, very valuable tool in their toolbox, which is they've got the chip on the shoulder. Yeah, nobody believes in them.
They're so mad at the NFL. They're so mad at everybody.
It really is like them against the world at this point. In their mind, nobody has respected them enough.
No one's respected Joe Burrow enough. No one's respected their coach enough.
No one's respected their line, which to their credit, their offensive line was awesome today. Awesome.
They played really in the running game. They were just shoving people backwards.
It was actually a very, very good game plan that they had, and nobody's respected their defense enough. Which is incredible.
And they might have the, we should do a part of my take coordinator of the year award yeah because lou is it anarumo yeah good fancy fuck boy's name lou amaruno lou he is uh sweet lou is probably in our top he's on our short list our finalist for for coordinator of the year he yeah i mean their defense was exceptional today um basically had the bills flustered all day long. And Zach Taylor deserves a ton of credit because, like, it wasn't even just how they were.
Like, it was that they ran the ball, but the runs that they designed and the quick passes, Stink alluded to it on Friday. He basically told us the game plan, like, how you can basically get it so that there's only eight to ten times that the offensive line truly has to pass block a five-step drop.
And they did it. Like, everything worked for them.
They had the perfect game plan. And what I was saying, like, we said it on Friday, but the fact they were six-point underdogs, I woke up this morning, I was still baffled.
I stayed away from the game because I have that Bengals future, but I was like, I think the Bengals are just as good as the Bills. Why is this six point line like it makes no sense and so I went into it expecting like because it never it never feels that easy I was like oh the Bills will probably kill them because there's never free money just being handed out like that and it was the exact opposite the Bengals just completely demolished them and now with Patrick Holmes hurt and on top of that not even Patrick Holmes like the Bengals own the Chiefs.
3-0 is ownership. Yeah.
And they've got to be feeling pretty fucking good. It's tough to beat a team four.
Not scared of Arrowhead. Tough to beat a team four times in a row.
It's crazy, man. They are so good.
They're awesome. Joe Burrow has won five playoff games with the Bengals, which equals the entire history of the Bengals prior to Joe Burrow joining the team that's nuts it's crazy and I was thinking back to 2019 there was a game I remember it well it was the Washington R words at the time against the Miami Dolphins R words were 0-5 Dolphins were 0-5 believe.
And Dolphins scored a touchdown. No time left on the clock.
They decide to go for two to win the game. They don't get the two.
The R-Words win. If the R-Words lost that game, they would have had the number one pick, and then I would have Joe Burrow for the rest of my life.
Damn. And I would be happy, and my entire life would be so much better in all facets.
God damn. So it's a sliding doors moment.
Congratulations, Cincinnati. You won the Joe Burrow sweepstakes and he's that good.
He's that good where I fully expect like you don't need home field advantage. No, I know that you're upset about it because of what happened with Bill's game.
But this is actually better for you guys that you went into Buffalo. And the word of the day is roughshod.
I just always steven a smith say it you ran roughshod on the buffalo bills it was a rough shotting it was a demolition like there wasn't anything fluky about it there wasn't any weird things that happened in the game i think even you know when it was 14-7 we're like oh here come the bills and it just never happened like the the the only thing that actually the bengals like could have been worse because Jamar Chase Joe Burrow threw a perfect ball to Jamar Chase in the back of the end zone and he bobbled it right at the end and they had to kick a field goal instead you know instead of being 17-7 it was or sorry said I mean 21-7 it was 17-7 but yeah there was nothing like it was just absolute demolish of the bills there was another crazy stat that came out of this game. Every team that Kirk Cousins beat in the regular season is now out of the playoffs.
Oof. Oof.
With the Bills losing. Another L for Hank.
So, Kirk Cousins. Another L.
This guy. The angel of death.
He's catching Ls. Sorry, Hank.
He's like the reverse of the Matrix meme when he's dodging bullets. It's just Hank can just shot up with Hells.
Like Jim in the end of the town. Jim.
Speaking of the Vikings, you guys do trash on the Vikings a lot and the Chargers. We don't say that word.
C-words, Bills, Vikings. Yeah.
What's the difference? Oh, okay. So here we go.
Hank is now trying to put us on the spot because he's trying no he's trying to put us on the spot yeah he's putting on the Josh Allen spot yeah he's putting us on the Josh Allen spot so let's have the Josh Allen conversation no I know you I know what you're doing it's fine we were gonna we're gonna get to it we were we were trying to give the Bengals their love because they were incredible and they deserve all that love but let's talk about Josh Allen let's talk about theills. So you wanted me to compare the Bills to the C-words.
The Bills occasionally win playoff games. The Bills have been...
The C-words don't make it to the playoffs. And when they do, they collapse in historic fashion.
And Josh Allen is better than Kirk Cousins. I'm talking about...
I didn't bring up Josh. Oh, franchises is sadness.
No, no. It's abject failure for the Bills.
The Vikings and the Bills are, I think, the only two teams to No, the Vikings didn't lose four in a row, but they lost four Super Bowls in whatever it was. The 70s? No, the Bills.
So this is bad. This is bad for the Bills.
Everyone knows that we are best friends with Josh Allen. So when people are like, oh, you're biased.
Yes, we are biased. I would say that it's fair if he didn't play well today.
He played bad today. And now you have three years in a row where it felt like the Bills were a step away.
It started with the AFC Championship game against the Chiefs three years ago. Then they lose the Chiefs in that incredible game last year.
And then they lose this one. And it's like when people start saying like Josh Allen can't win the big game, you can't really say anything against it until he wins the big game.
I thought it was unfair when they did it after the Chiefs game because that was not on him. No, that one was not on him.
He played incredible. This one, unfortunately for Josh, he could have played a lot better at it.
Right. Or we can do the thing where we would just be like he was hurt.
He did have a torn UCL. His UCL his arm his forearm it's basically he was a warrior for even going out there like most people would have said they would have done what Big Cat said earlier and bring the tarp out.
So put me down. And really like you know when people try to say like oh you guys are biased yes we biased.
We're very biased on a lot of the things we say. And I will defend Josh Allen, and I will say that he's still in the upper echelon of quarterbacks.
But I also will say, anyone who wants to shit on him right now, it's fair game. They didn't perform.
They were Super Bowl favorites to start the year. They had all the pieces.
pieces it was ready to go they had a home playoff game against the bengals that they're six point favorites if you want to shit on them that is absolute fair game because they deserve it right now like that was a a very pitiful performance by the bills they were super bowl or bus so now you got to deal with the bus but i still love josh out i'll still defend him because i'm from best we him. Yeah, but to answer the question, Hank, I think the Bills are in a better position than the Seawords or the Vikings.
But as a franchise, yes, it's sadness. Like this is that I feel for the city of Buffalo watching that game because it's one thing to lose.
I don't know. I honestly know that the 13 seconds thing with the Chiefs is like the ultimate tragedy, but in a weird way, like that loss, you can be like, all right, well, we were right there.

We were right there.

Like next year, we're right there.

This loss, you weren't right there.

You got your fucking doors blown off at home.

So that feels like it hurts even more because it's just like you guys were supposed to be the team and you just weren't oh i was going to say a couple things on on the coaching side it seems like maybe they do miss brian dable a little bit yeah it seems like he was a pretty big part of that offense and i've been critical of ken dorsey i don't understand a lot of the things he does and on the defensive side i'm thinking about using the s word when it comes to that defense because they got pushed around big time. Yeah.
You got to be – if you're going to play defense in Buffalo in cold weather games, you got to be able to stop the – you got to be like hard-nosed, tough guys. And Milano was just basically like – I don't know.
He's like the Kiko Alonzo reimagined there, but he's not – he didn't play like he was a tough guy and they've in their defensive line

they've invested a lot of draft picks in yeah like you should you should be at a spot where you can

rely on them i like ed oliver but is he worth where he paid for yeah where is he we're gonna

say billy and it was against backups yeah yeah the bangles line this was a pride check it was

for the defensive line so is that a fair answer do you think do you think people will say that

that's not a fair answer like i know it comes down's a fair answer. It comes down to, like, I will always love Josh Allen.
I will never shit on him because we have a relationship with him. But if anyone else wants to shit on him, I'm not going to stop you.
I'm not going to, like, go out of my way and argue with people and be like, no, you're wrong. The Bills have been failures in the last three years.
They were supposed to be the team this year, and they weren't. I will say, too, as someone who has been a fan of a team that was Super Bowl favorites and then they lose, especially in the divisional round, I think mentally, if you're a fan of the Bills, you didn't think there was ever a chance you were losing until the AFC Championship game.
Right. Tomorrow is going to be worse.
This is worse than an AFC Championship loss in my mind because you just weren't expecting it, and you were just like all right we're gonna make a deep postseason run and it's just over and when you get to the final four it's like the ball can bounce away and you just you know you miss out on it it's like oh well you know this is how football works this is like you guys weren't close like the Bengals were the better team they were up 7-3 when they were playing earlier in the year and they just demol in this game. Yeah.
They beat you one and a half times. There were so many things about this game that pointed to the Bills, too.
It was a snow game. That's your ultimate 12th man that you had on your side for Buffalo.
You lost a home snow game in the playoffs to a team that had, like, one-fifth of their offensive line was a starter at the beginning of the year. Yeah.
That's tough. That's a tough pill to swallow.
By the way, so I know that they would rather have all their starters, but it is kind of funny that the Bengals are just back. If you're going to lose your starting offensive line, any team that loses their starting offensive line, you'd be like, it's over for them.
But to have Joe Burrow and also have done it last year, it's almost like they're right back to where they were. It's like, all right, well, Joe Burrow's just going to have to stand in there and we're going to have to just game play.
We got to the Super Bowl last year with a terrible offensive line. We can do it again.
They're ready for it. This is kind of their system that they have.
Right. If there's any team that you lose three-fifths of your offensive line and can survive, it's the Cincinnati Bengals.
That's kind of like what the Seahawks did for years. They just had dog shit offensive line where Tom Cable would end up taking a tight end and then just making him get fat over the course of the season because he's like, we'll probably need another tackle by the end of the year.
Yeah. Yeah, Billy.
Yeah, it sucks for the Bills, though. I do feel bad for Buffalo.
You're right, Hank like you're if you're in Buffalo you're listening to this right now you probably aren't even listening to it because it's so sad you're waking up on Monday morning and you're looking out and it's cold and it's winter and you're like oh fuck now what like what the fuck and then also the Stefan Diggs thing is not great like he was yelling at Josh out on the sidelines. He reportedly got dressed and got out of the locker room before the Bills had fully gotten their team in the locker room, and then he was dragged back in the locker room and still left right away.
Yeah, I understand that he's probably pissed off and probably disappointed after the end of the season. I would not be a good loser.
No. And if you've worked this entire season to get to this point.

I'd also understand if the Bills were like,

hey, this is unacceptable.

We've got to trade you for a third-round pick to the Bears.

Right.

Yeah, Billy?

I think Josh Allen's on a little bit of an island there with the offense.

I think that especially got magnified when Dable left

because now he's sort of the biggest cornerstone of the offense

in continuing on what they did last year. No, there's this Superman aspect where he feels like he has to do everything I also I don't understand like I feel like every single year we're told the Bills have a running like oh don't worry they have a running game they have a running game oh even this year like oh they have a running game there was no running game today no so the Bills were actually the best running team in football over the course of the year.
But it's not real. But it's not real.
It's Josh Allen scrambling with the ball when he feels like he has to put the team on his back. So they don't have a consistent running game to speak of, which they're going to have to work on.
They're going to have to do something. They tried to this year.
They were in the market for Christian McCaffrey. And they just got blown up on both sides of the line.
This was a game where they just were physically dominated at every position. Yeah, it's tough.
This is definitely one of those mornings in Buffalo where you wake up and you're like, what do I do for the next nine months of my life? Wait, let me see. Hold on.
How are the Sabres? I was about to look it up. I think the Sabres are, like, better than usual.
They can order wing nuts. They can't get wing nuts.
Good point. The Buffalo Sabres are better than usual, so that's not so bad.

They are right now, if the playoffs started today, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11.

They might get into the playoffs.

Yeah, but they're not many points behind.

So watch out.

The Blue Jays are fun and young.

Five points out of a wild card spot.

Okay.

There you go.

The Blue Jays are a good young team. Yeah out of a wild card spot.
Okay. There you go.
The Blue Jays are a good young team.

Yeah.

The Sabres have won two in a row.

Hell yeah.

DeMar Hamlin, that was, you know, it was cool to see him there today.

A lot of money donated.

Yeah.

A lot of toys will be purchased in Buffalo this year.

We love Buffalo.

CBS producers were probably furious at the snow.

They just kept trying to cut to him.

Oh, couldn't see him at all.

Couldn't see him at all.

At all.

They kept being like, there he is.

It's like, where?

in terms of... We're just in Buffalo.
We love Buffalo. CBS producers were probably furious at the snow.
They just kept trying to cut to him. Oh, couldn't see him at all.
They kept being like, there he is. It's like, where? And Tony Romo.
Oh, man, we're so right about Tony Romo. It's been fucking awesome.
I get every time we watch one of these playoff games, I get like 100 tweets being like, I'm joining your guy's side. Yeah.
And it's just like, yep. And we were, by some people in this room, haters jake once i call you a hater you were like you guys just don't like the thing that everyone else likes i'm like no i think we're right on this one i don't know jake i think we're right on this you guys zag i don't know i don't know jake what do you what do you think about tony rome honestly would you be able to work with a guy like Well, yeah, he worked with me and Dave, so yes.
We're Tony Romo to the worst extent. No, it was fun.
I don't know, Jim. I don't know, Jim.
I don't know, Jim. All right, so, yeah, Bengals, I think they're going to go to the Super Bowl again.
It's a very good possibility. I do.
I don't. This team is just, and Joee burrow it's just i they just fucking have swag and they're just so fucking good and they have like t higgins is a number one wide receiver they have two of them yeah it's crazy it might have been a good idea for them to to guard jamar chase a little bit this game they just so they just let them hang out they didn't really throw the ball deep that much but there were several times where Jamar Chase was just standing in the middle of the field.
Nobody around him. The thing that is crazy about Jamar Chase, and he makes incredible catches, he's super fast, but it's when he gets the ball and he just has guys bouncing off him, and he's like, this is not a prototypical number one receiver.
Because he's smooth. But he's just so strong.
He's strong and smooth, yeah. Yeah, his strength is just insane, and he does it all.
So, yeah. I also just love when college teammates play together in the NFL.
Yeah. It's just cool.
It is very cool. It is very cool.
And then you get to see that clip of them running the exact same plays and throws. Yeah.
Nothing changes, man. It's wild.
Man, I feel bad for the Bills. Okay, there's Damar on TV.
Are we sure that's really Damar? I was just thinking. He's doing the heart thing.
He's doing the heart thing. Let's have the conversation.
Is that Damar or is that a body double? That's him. He's doing the heart thing.
All right. Before we get to the last game, you got a couple more ads PFT.

Okay, last game of the weekend.

49ers 19, Cowboys 12. Yeah.
This was also a roughshodding. This was.
Hank, you got run roughshod on. I wish we had a Cowboys fan who could defend what we saw.
Oh, wait, Hank, what's that jersey you got on? It's a Dakota Prescott jersey, Dan. How do you play? It's getting thrown in the trash.
Wait, is that the same Dak Prescott that hasn't gone two games in a row without a turnover since 2019? Is that true? Yeah, and didn't he not have a turnover last week against the Bucs? That is true. And then how many interceptions did he basically throw today? I counted four basically interceptions.
You had two. Probably should have had

five. And then also, is

that the Dak Prescott

who plays for the Cowboys who

just broke their own record

of 13 straight

postseason appearances without getting

the conference championship game?

13? 13

straight times they've gone to the

playoffs. They had the record.
They were 12 straight times've gone to the playoffs.

They had the record.

There were 12 straight times they went to the playoffs.

Not obviously consecutive years, but the last 12 times they went to the playoffs,

they were not able to advance to the conference championship game.

They broke that record today, and it's 13 now.

Is that the same Cowboys?

That is the same team.

That's embarrassing. Is that the same Dak Prescott whose favorite color is gray?

It is.

Thank you. Is that the same Cowboys? That is the same team.
That's embarrassing. Wow.
Is that the same Dak Prescott whose favorite color is gray? It is. And got beat up in Panama City? Correct.
And you bet on that Dak Prescott? Yeah, you wanted to troll us by doing a Cowboys future and going all in on the Cowboys, and they quote-unquote great value didn't even get to the conference championship? It was great value last week. Well, no, it wasn't because they didn't even get.
But I chose not to because I'm a true Cowboys fan and I ride or die with this team. That was a mistake, but I don't regret my decision.
Did you bet the Cowboys as well? Yes. Oh, no.
Basically as much as the future, which was a mistake. Yeah.
Was that the same Cowboys whose owner walked down onto the field this morning when Brett Maher was getting warmed up, missed two field goals in a row, and then pulled him aside and yelled in his face like, Hey, you son of a bitch, you missed one of these in a game. I'm going to slit your throat.
The 49ers were pulling some disgusting tactics pregame. Like what? They were just not letting him kick.
Oh, that was very funny. No respect.
That was very funny. By the way, we should say, we'll take the heat off Hank for a second, and we should say that Max won the Ray Allen bet.
So I had the over in this game, terrible, terrible bet. Hank had the Cowboys in this game and a Cowboys future even worse bet.
Actually, like four times as bad of a bet. Max had the Eagles.
He was the only one who won his bet this weekend. Max, would you like to tweet it out right now? Sure.
I mean, he's been tweeting the whole show. Live on the air.
I tweeted one thing. I said that the Cowards are cowards.
I was just thinking about it, and I just wanted to. They are.
Yeah. Cowards are cowards't want the Bergs.
Just that – that NFC conference championship game would have been so, so special. It would have been biblical.
It would have been un – it's disgusting that they're two cowardly to come into the link for the conference championship. That's true.
They are. They are cowards.
They bowed out. So, Max, what are you tweeting right now? Hold on.
Why don't you say it as you do it? And your grandma follows you on Twitter. Or do you want me to read it to you? My grandma does follow me on Twitter.
I'll read it to you, and then you can... No, I already have it.
I already have it copied and pasted. What is it? So go ahead.
I forgot. Maybe I don't.
Okay, wait. No, I don't.
No, I don't. Okay, so I'll get it for you.
All right, so pull up your Twitter, and you're going to start with, I'm getting there. I'm getting there.
And then the next part is going to be... Yeah, I'm getting there i'm getting there and then uh the next part is going to be no yeah i'm getting there period yep when you masturbate think about my tongue or your clit you got all that when you masturbate oh did not spell that right oh wow you don't do it how do you spell masturbate? When you masturbate.
Think about my tongue. About my tongue.
Or your clit. Hold on a second.
Oh. My hands are sweating.
Are you getting horned up? Max is saying his grandmother does follow him on Twitter. I think Max is getting horny.
When you masturbate, think about my tongue. Or your clit.
Or your clit. And switching back and forth.
And switching back and forth. From my dick to my tongue.
From my dick to your... No, my tongue.
Ah, fuck. You're switching back and forth from my dick to my tongue.
He's eating her out and then also having sex. He's going A-B, A-B.
Yeah, he's pressing all the buttons. Got it.
Okay, send tweet. I also think maybe tomorrow morning when you wake up, you can do the follow-up.
I hope that it was amusing to people, but I'm either going to change my password or stop tweeting altogether. I forgot that he wrote that afterwards.
Oh, because he got hacked? Yeah, he got hacked. Him and Jay Williams.
He totally got hacked. Do you think Max's grandma's got tweet notifications on? She just gets woken up in the middle of the night to that? Oh, no, I hope so.
I'm going to real quick. I'm going to retweet this.
Let's have everybody retweet it just to make sure that it gets. I don't see it.
I don't know if I'm spelling tongue correctly. T-O-N-G-U-E.
Yep. Okay.
All right. I'm getting there when you masturbate.
Thinking about my tongue or your clit and switching back and forth from my dick to my tongue. Let's do a part of my take challenge.

Text that to somebody that you love and care about and then send us a screenshot of what the reply is to you.

Okay.

Oh, send it to 10 people.

Yeah.

Okay.

All right.

Okay.

It's out.

All right.

Great.

Oh, I see it.

I'm going to retweet it.

Thank you.

Okay.

Back to the Cowboys being absolute cowards and Hank being a troll and having everything blow up in his face. It blew up in your face.
Yeah, I don't know what. Listen, I'm a plus sign hunter.
Patriots were out. I needed a rooting interest.
I wasn't going to pick the Bengals or the fucking Eagles or the Chiefs or the Bills to win the Super Bowl. It's not great value.
Right. No, it's not.
It's just value. But this wasn't great value either.

In theory, it was.

In theory, you have a Super Bowl winning coach.

You have a quarterback who is a high-paid quarterback with a lot of experience in the league.

You have a great rushing attack.

If Paul doesn't get injured, who knows how this game ends.

That's true.

Yeah, that's true.

But watching the game, it was a torturous experience.

I regret ever cheering for a team that's not the Patriots because it was brutal. Do you think that Dak Prescott actually likes throwing interceptions? Because I think he enjoys it to a certain extent.
I mean, he was trying so hard. He was trying so hard.
So hard. Like, the two that were dropped, including one that should have been a pick six at the very end of the game, it looked like he was doing it because he loved it, not because he was getting pressured and he was messing up.
And the first one was not, I mean, there wasn't even a Cowboys player in vicinity. Yeah, it was bad.
He was dynamic, though. I will say that.
He did run. He was running around the field.
He ran the ball pretty well. The last play of the game, maybe my favorite play of the weekend, they send Ezekiel Elliott out there as As a center.
Wait, wait, wait. As a center, Ezekiel Elliott was sent into the game.
They put Dak in shotgun, and then Ezekiel Elliott snaps the ball, proceeds to get driven into hell immediately, just like body slammed. They were trying to run a lateral play, so I guess the theory was if we have Ezekiel Elliottott on the field that's one more guy that can run with the ball instead of a slow fat guy so let's put him in they had those guys on the field too again they put ezekiel elliott in at center to snap the ball he gets fucking demolished he gets run over like he i don't know like there was a bulldozer a front end loader that just backed up on him.
Dak throws like a six yard slant.

And then that dude gets jacked up.

It was.

It was awesome.

It was so awesome.

It was such a good play.

It was so bad.

The Cowboys, I'll give him credit.

They just know how to go out in the fucking funniest fashion.

They do.

And you know that Mike McCarthy, like when he installed that in the course of the week,

he's like, they're never going to see this coming.

Yeah.

Ezekiel, you're going to play center. Yeah.
Just in case of emergency, guys. To his credit, it was a good snap.
And then he just got blown up. And the Cowboys, like the Brett Maher thing, just got even funnier because he got the first extra point blocked, but it was going to miss by...
It was actually going to be his worst of his misses. It was going miss so bad and then he comes out he nails two field goals and i hope i don't think he would do this because he probably doesn't have a job with the cow actually this is why he should do it he should just go up to dak prescott and be like dude you blew the game for us like you blew this game for us there's no two ways about it dak prescott is who we thought he was and the bucks are even worse than we thought they were because it.
Dak Prescott is who we thought he was, and the Bucs are even worse than we thought they were

because they made Dak Prescott look like an incredible quarterback,

and he's not.

He's a good quarterback.

He is Kirk Cousins.

You know what's crazy is that Dak Prescott actually had a worse game

than Brett Maher had.

Yeah.

Like, we laughed a lot at Brett Maher,

and we did laugh a little bit at Dak Prescott,

but Dak Prescott definitely played worse than Maher did today. Yes.
And for the Niners, they're just awesome. Like, it was kind of an ugly game.
Brock Purdy, I do feel like he's just trying to throw interceptions and they just won't. Like, the world is just working in his favor.
He had a couple balls that, like, should have been intercepted and they weren't. but it doesn't really matter when they're as talented as they are because their defense was flying everywhere and george kittle is the best like the best he was the amount of fun he has playing football is just so it's it's fun to watch him have fun so yeah everything he does agreed it's rare oh really oh okay it's rare that you see a tight end take over a drive but that's what Kittle did on that one long drive the one where he bobbled it and the craziest part of that play was after he bobbled it three times and he grabbed it, he moved it out of the way of Diggs in like a split second because Diggs was about to come in and just wreck his shit and he moves the ball like half a foot to the left rolls forward and then he gets up and does his like joker laugh stares at the sky cam he's like yeah i'm i'm i'm the guy and it broke the fourth wall yeah that play that play though like most guys would probably give up on the ball because he was about to get absolutely demolished over the middle and uh yeah he's just the best he that that that drive was the george kiddo drive he legacy drive.
Yeah, their offense couldn't find a lot. Like they were able to run the ball late when they had to, which is kind of why they're such a good team is like they can – even when you're expecting a run, they can still run it down your throat.
But that drive sealed the win, and it was Kittle, and he's the man. He really is.
It was awesome to see. Hank, what do you think about Brock Purdy going into the link? I mean, you know what I think about Brock Purdy going into the link.
Oh, so you're going to stay consistent. I thought you were going to reverse it and be like, Brock Purdy's the man.
No, no. I mean, he played decent.
Like, he made some throws. As a Cowboys fan, I was just dying.
And they did it in the beginning of the game. They stopped the run.
And it was like, let's make Brock Purdy beat us with his arm. He kind did all the all the third down conversions were still just like those cheap little slants and and chris mccaffrey making plays but if the eagles and the and the cowboys were doing them no favors by not scoring like i think if the cowboys if dak prescott could do anything and their offense could have done anything they would have won the game by putting the pressure on they didn't put any pressure on him if the e on him and make him throw, he's throwing three picks.
Yeah, because it does feel like I could feel it. Brock Purdy's elite in play action and second in five, and then when he gets into those long, obvious passing downs, it doesn't feel like it's the best.
There are a lot of plays where he just has one read and go, but it turns out that one read is always open. And it's always – it's Brandon Ayuk or – Christian McCaffrey sitting down in his own.
His one read is always correct. More offenses should do a one read offense if that person is always open in the one read offense.
Yes. If the Eagles fans are as crazy as Max pretends like they are and they can't get in a rookie quarterback's head.
That's a problem. Because that's the other thing.
Obviously, they play in Tampa Bay, but that's not the craziest atmosphere. Then they had a home game.
The link for the NFC Championship game is going to be allegedly, possibly, kind of crazy. Allegedly.
So he should be pretty rattled. You know what's fun? This is actually the second time that Brock Purdy and Jalen Hurts will play each other.
And the first time was an awesome 42-41 game, Oklahoma versus Iowa State. Brock Purdy had five touchdown passes.
Jalen Hurts had three and ran for two as well. So they both had five touchdowns when they played in 2019.
So maybe we'll get that again. This is like Baker Mahomes all over again.
Yeah, kind of a fun game. Also, I forgot to mention it, but you think Jalen Hurts is like little Jalen Hurts revenge? Dable was the coordinator that benched him for Tua.
Oh, wow. Wow.
That's fun. And you still bet the Giants.
I was a Dable believer.

I was like, Dable's got his number.

He knows him.

Yeah.

He knows him well.

He did not.

No.

But wait, wasn't Dable also the guy that went back to Jalen

and they were on great terms?

He transferred shortly after, no.

Well, no, he went.

Jalen Hurts came in for Tua when Tua got injured.

Got injured, yeah.

Remember he hurt his hip in college? But then he transferred. Then he transferred later, yeah.
Fred Warner also is incredible. A linebacker shouldn't be able to do what he does in coverage.
Oh, yeah. Yeah, when he turned around and ran down the field with Dalton Schultz.
Yeah, and then he did it again with CeeDee Lamb. Yeah, like he's just.
The Niners just have so many guys. They win dude offices.
So now the question becomes, what do you do if you're Jerry Jones and Mike McCarthy is cleaning out his office on Monday? Let's just say you're Jerry Jones. You sit down.
You have your third McGriddle with extra salt, and you've had a couple cups of coffee with Johnny Walker Blue in it. So you've got your nice morning buzz going.
Mike McCarthy comes in. He's like, hey, boss, I guess I'll see you for a combine prep that we're doing in three weeks.
What are you thinking if you're Jerry Jones? Are you calling Sean Payton before he leaves the office? Are you waiting for Mike to get into his car and drive away before you leave Sean? Yeah, I think you got to. I think you got to call him up right away and just be like, hey, what do we got to give up? I think Jerry Jones would take – he would fire Mike McCarthy if he knew that he could get Sean Payton.
Absolutely. But I don't think that he would fire Mike McCarthy and then go through a big interview process where he has to sit down and do the entire song and dance.
Yeah. He wants his guy, but his guy's in high demand.
High demand. High demand.
I think my gut tells me that Mike McCarthy actually survives this, and he'll stick around. Yeah, I'd probably agree.
It is kind of funny, like Jerry Jones. I don't know.
You've got to get rid of him. I don't think he's going to fire him.
So I think that he definitely would have been fired if Brett Maher had done something today that had cost them the game entirely. And then the question is, why didn't you get a new kicker? And everybody knew that this was painfully obvious.
The guy missed five extra points in a row. But since he didn't actually cost the game, and Dak Prescott cost them the game, and Dak Prescott is the guy that Jerry Jones decided to pay $40 million a year to.
I don't know that Jerry is going to want to fire Mike. Jerry, unless he gets on the phone with Sean Payton and secretly works out an arrangement with Sean first.
The season, literally, I would agree with you if the season didn't end in quite literally the most embarrassing fashion that a season could end in. You're right.
That play at the end being the very last play, that's going to stick in Jerry's head. Yeah.
It was one of the funniest plays in NFL history. It was, I mean, yeah.
McAfee and the Colts are off the hook. McAfee, the Jim Zorn swinging gate.
You can always tell when a coach runs a real turkey shit play because the trending topics on Twitter, McAfee will be trending and then Jim Zorn will be trending. Yes.
It was just so, so funny. Also, Hank, I got some good news for you as a Cowboys fan.
I'm not a Cowboys fan, by the way. I'm off the train.
I got some good news for you as a Cowboys fan. I misspoke.
They've actually only had 12 times in a row that they haven't been able to get to the conference championship, So it's not 13, 12. So they, they beat the record of 11.

Um,

so Jerry Jones,

if you talk to Jerry Jones in 1996 and you're like,

Hey Jerry,

uh,

they just had beaten the Packers in the conference championship game.

Uh,

and he was like,

Hey,

Hey Jerry,

you're never going to be back in the conference championship game where

it's going to be 2023 and you won't be back here.

Yeah. And that's hilarious.
12 straight times. it's 12 straight times they made the playoffs that they have not been able to get to the conference championship it's nuts because i i feel like jerry's waiting for that last super bowl and then he's gonna let go and just fade off yeah like die like a cowboy with your eyes open standing up holding the trophy but now now he's guy come back.
To a certain extent, I think that Jerry doesn't want another Super Bowl because it keeps him alive. The hunt, you know? The dog that chases a car.
You've got to have something to live for. And if Jerry gets another title, then it's like, well, I'm out.
My fuck-up son-in-law that cleans my glasses is going to take over the job for me. Yep.
So, Niners, Eagles. I'm a little worried, Max.
I'll just say it. I think the Niners are a very good football team.
Not really stating anything crazy right now. Also, PFT, next year we should do our dude-off before week one because I feel like if you did the dude-offs, we could name the most dudes on these four remaining teams.
Yeah. Yeah, I mean.
Like, they're loaded with dudes. So the only team that I think might compete against these teams in the dude-off is the C-words.
Yeah, probably. Like, that's the one team that might have an equal amount of dudes, and they're cursed.
Also, three of the same Final Fours last year. Oh, that's wild.
Defending champion is not the only ones returning.

So the Eagles, the only one, the newcomer, the newcomer to the show.

Steal the show.

There also is that one guy's tweet.

I don't know how real it is.

You know, like whenever someone tries to predict.

Oh, yeah.

Next 10.

I've seen different dates.

The Albies Hall of Fame guy.

There's a tweet going around from 2015 where he's like,

my prediction for the next 10 Super Bowl champions. Broncos, Patriots, Eagles, Patriots, Chiefs, Bucs, Rams.
I got to find if that's real or not. In 2023, he said Eagles.
So that would be cool. I feel like those are never real.
Never real. But it's also very cool.
100 tweets and then deletes most of them. But if he did it in 2015 and he predicted the next 10, I don't know how that works.
Maybe it's just Photoshop. I don either way i always look at them i'm like is there dude nfl rigged is there a coin is there a coin that's predicted this season coin on our side what do you think would be the most what do you think would be the most fun super bowl matchup fandom aside most fun i mean eagles what what do you mean fun oh fun for the game or fun for super bowl week both super bowl week mean, Eagles.
What do you mean fun? Oh, fun for the game or fun for Super Bowl week? Both. Super Bowl week, it's Eagles.
Eagles, Bengals. Yeah.
Eagles, Chiefs would be pretty fun, too. Cincinnati is really kind of the Philadelphia of Ohio.
Yeah. For the pod, I think San Fran would be better in terms of Shanahan, Kittle.
How can you not root for those guys? You didn't. Ask yourself that.
Look in the mirror and ask yourself. Selfishly for the pod relationships.
One of the hardest things I've ever had to do. Right? I wouldn't wish that on anyone.
Pod relationships, San Francisco, Cincinnati. Yeah.
The difference between me and you, Hank, is if the Niners win on Sunday, I'll be so happy for Kittle. You just sat there pouting.
No, I'm liking all those pictures. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

That's not true.

I'm coming at his butt to give him a nice pat in the booty.

You're patting him in the booty?

Good work, yeah.

You're patting him in the booty?

Yeah.

You're coming at his butt?

We could get some eagles on.

We know Kelsey.

We hung out with some competitors now.

Ooh, Lane.

Yeah, we've had Lane on the show.

Lane is a fucking good friend of the show.

What if it's a Kelsey Super Bowl and we have both them on at the same time? That'd be wild. Yeah, that'd be wild.
Who would the mom root for? Listen, if the Bengals and Eagles get there, I'm doing a split sweatshirt. I have both future tickets and just riding that.
Damn, that'd be fun. Worst gambler ever finds luck once.
I think it'd be great. My official rooting interest is for the Cincinnati Bengals to win the Super Bowl because Joe Burrow said that he would give us a drunk interview the day after he wins the Super Bowl to match up with his collegiate championship.
That's true. That's a fact.
I'm rooting for the 49ers and Kittle. I just love them.
Stop it, Hank. Kyle Shanahan.
Yeah. You just said you were rooting for the Eagles.
Do you realize what you did, though? Let's end this here. Do you realize what you did? You sold your soul to the most detestable...
I didn't sell myself. You sold yourself.
You sold your soul to the most detestable franchise on earth. No, listen.
I do want to give a special shout out to all of the Cowboys fans. It was one of the warmest embraces I've ever felt to this community.
I really felt like myself with you guys, so I appreciate the two-week run we've had. But, yeah, it's over.
Dak Prescott's just going to the trash. Be honest.
What percentage of you selecting the Cowboys had to do with the fact that it would just make Philadelphia hate you more?

100%.

No, 100%.

That's the troll.

It's the biggest.

100%.

Just what I think that Hank could not get any more despised by Philadelphia.

He's like, well, you know what?

100%.

It would have been bad.

I was not looking forward to this week when I was predicting the Cowboys to win.

It would have been a long week. What if it was cowboys eagles oh man it would have been awesome i was not it would have been uh and yeah you would have gone through hell if the cowboys had won i would have probably felt bad because you guys all would have been crying for real and i would have just kind of been like ha yeah but that never was yeah hank you told he would have been yeah you would have been so bad if we were I would have just kind of been like, ha-ha.
Yeah, but that never was a... Yeah, Hank, you totally would have been so upset if we were crying.
You tried to troll, and you trolled yourself into wearing a Dak Prescott jersey on Pardon My Taste. No, it looks good.
And you have to get a cat. I do not have to get a cat.
Yeah, you did. If they don't get to the conference championship game, you have to get a cat.
No way. That was part of the deal.
If they win the Super Bowl, we get three cats total. If they don't get to the conference championship, you get to get a cat no way that was part of the deal if they win the super bowl we get three cats total if they don't get to the conference championship you get a cat i mean dac the cat listen to the records but there's no way i said that yeah i don't know i think you did i don't think so all right you think we're gaslighting you i mean you always permanently are that's not even a think is our big cat and p gaslighting it's like are they speaking are they gaslighting yes all right so any any regrets to having this all blow up in your face no i mean again i just search for value and when i see good value i take it and i'll do it again you're the worst yeah you really are you know i love you but you also you also don the full story.
Yeah, right. You gaslight the listeners.
No, I mean, you guys, I guess it's different for me. You guys never, your teams never make the playoffs, are always a joke.
So it's like you're used to going through this time of the year with just kind of like rooting as fans and doing it for work, whereas I, a Patriots fan, I'm used to always being in it, always being going for the championship. So I didn't really know what to do this year, so I was like, I'm going to pick a team and go for it.
Go for a team with good value. And again, Coach that's won the Super Bowl.
You guys always shit on Mike McCarthy. He hasn't won the Super Bowl.
Dak Prescott, perennial all-star, always has great stats, great defense. I was like, this is a team that can do it.
And they easily could have won that game. And Dak Prescott was terrible.
Then they had that funny play at the end of the game. You remember that play at the very end of the game where they lined up as Ezekiel Elliott as a center? The Dahl and Schultz play was worse.
Oh, yeah. They had a wide open.
They basically gave the Cowboys 30 yards because they were playing, just don't let them score a touchdown. And he was completely uncovered, and he just stepped out of bounds without getting a second foot in.
And he had another play where he cut a ball on the sideline and then got tackled backwards out of bounds, kept the clock running. But none of this would have mattered at all if the 49ers running back had gone down in bounds after getting that first down at the end of the game as opposed to going out of bounds, stop the clock.
But thank God that he did, because that way we got to see the Cowboys run the play where Ezekiel Elliott played center. And then he got just absolutely fucking destroyed at the line of scrimmage.
I regret getting too far ahead of myself. I was thinking about, like, Super Bowl stuff.
What were you going to do? Oh, give us some of the like, just how – you know, the week, what I was going to be wearing. Oh, you were going to have a Cowboys – How I was going to deal with the Cowboys beating the Eagles or Giants.
It was never the Giants. You're still trying to piss off Philadelphia.
No, I just – I got on the Dable train. I was like, dude, Dable's got Jalen Hurts' number.
He was his coordinator. They're going to win.
Cowboys will get the one seed. Then we're going to be in the Super Bowl.
And again, in hindsight, I regret thinking too far ahead. It's crazy if you're the Cowboys, this might be the last year that you have Dan Quinn as your defense coordinator because he might get another job.
I mean, they're never. They're terrible.
They're not going. They need...
They have spent all their money on terrible players. Hank, remember I put a future on the Cowboys last year and Michael Gallup got hurt right away after.
It was the dumbest future I ever put on because I was like, they just don't win playoff games. They don't.
They just don't win playoff games. And I wasn't doing it as a troll because you were...
Neither was I. Yeah, you were.
You were definitely doing it as a troll. Well, I don't know what.
This is where it's like, again, this is where it's like you guys just gaslight the shit out of me. And basically everything that I do in my life, you guys are like, oh, you're doing it as a troll.
It's like, I'm just living. You're just living.
Let Hank live. Like, I speak and you guys are like, oh, you're trolling.
It's like, no, I'm just asking questions. It has nothing to do with Max sitting across from you and your disdain for the city of Philadelphia.
It was before the playoffs started. Right, when you were like, the Cowboys were going to get the one seed over the Eagles.
But that had nothing to do with the Eagles. Philly.
That is when the Philly natured. You could actually see the timeline.
The Eagles slipped up a little bit, and you're like, ooh, Cowboys are going to beat the Eagles and get the one seed, and they're going to stick it to the city of Philadelphia. They didn't have to beat the Eagles.
The path was there. Five things had to happen.
I think there's a couple of them did. Actually, none of them.
No, none of them happened. No, the Cowboys did.
No, none of them happened. They did beat the Eagles, right? No, no, no.
The Eagles lost. They beat Gordon Minshew.
No, no, no. But in week 18, he needed three things to happen.
Right. Zero of them happened.
18. In week 17, you got one thing.
They were showing the graphic on games. In the hunt for the one seed? Yeah.
But again, nothing to do with the Eagles. I love the content.
It was great watching you play the heel.

I think one thing we just need to learn as American football fans

is that just because the Dallas Cowboys spend a lot of money on a player

doesn't make them a good player.

Right.

Because that's the trap that we fall into every single year.

And they have some good players.

Oh, shit.

Jerry Jones gave Dak Prescott $160 million.

Yeah.

$40 million a year.

He must be pretty good.

He's the quarterback of the Dallas Cowboys.

Just because you play quarterback on the Dallas Cowboys doesn't mean that you're great.

If Tony Romo played his entire career as a Cleveland...

A Cleveland...

Yeah, that's a good one.

As a Panther, we would remember him as Jake DeLome.

Right.

Right.

Actually, Jake DeLome got to the Super Bowl. Yeah, Jake DeLome did get to the Super Bowl.
Not even Jake DeLome. He would be Heath Shuler.
Ooh. That's too bad.
That's too bad. He would be...
That's a tough one. Geno Smith.
Who would he be, Hank? Rex Grossman? He went to the Super Bowl. Yeah.
He'd be Kyle Lowry. He just picked the guy who went to the Super Bowl.
Matt Leiner. That's a decent one.
Yeah. Although he had great success at USC.
Legend. Either way, Hank, I love that you...
I did enjoy that you did this. It was a great storyline.
I can't wait to see your next move i know it's gonna be great you're gonna come come marching in here on tuesday when we tape and being like guys i just did it i got the niners or i got the the chiefs i'll tell you one thing there's gonna be value there i don't do things for trolls i don't think it's no things for storylines value i'm a numbers guy. You're a value hunter.
Yes. Better NFL career.
Tony Romo or Andy Dalton? I'd say Andy Dalton. Andy Dalton probably.
Also couldn't win a playoff game. Also could not win a playoff game.
Yeah. But I would still put his career above Tony's.
Yeah. Okay.

Wrapping up.

Who's back of the week?

My who's back of the week.

Speaking of Skip.

Yeah.

It is his co-host, Shannon Sharp.

LeShannon.

This was an unbelievable. Yeah.
LeShannon, LeBron, an unbelievable, unbelievable storyline. The Grizzlies were playing the Lakers, and the Grizzlies are like, they're just the shit talkers.
They're just starting shit all the time. Starting shit with the Warriors, starting shit with the Lakers, talking shit to LeBron.
LeBron was getting heated, going back and forth. Shannon was courtside, and he started talking shit to the Grizzlies, and then the Grizzlies started talking shit back.
He was basically on the court. Steven Adams came over and was like, got in the confrontation.
It got out of control, and the Grizzlies were mad because they were like, oh, it's a fan. Essentially, a fan should be able to get that level of access and be basically like a player in an on-court disagreement.
Yeah. The funniest part of that was when Steven Adams made his appearance because it's all fun and games when you're talking shit to, like, Ja Morant, and then Steven Adams shows up and he just moves everybody out of the way.
So Shannon Sharp, I actually think, could beat up a lot of NBA players right now. Oh, definitely.
He's fucking jacked up. He's huge.
No, without a doubtven adams he's massive steven adams i'd put in like the top 0.01 percent of people currently in the united states to not get into it in a fight yeah um wait i have a question for you hank because this is also my who's back but we can maybe tag team it so afterwards was lebron i know lebron has talked about fans getting into it with players and how unacceptable it is. If you remember, he had those that couple from Indiana kicked out of a Pacers Lakers game.
So LeBron probably was like, that's unacceptable. What Shannon did, he should have been kicked out.
You can't have fans yelling at players. Yeah, over the course of his career.
It's a good point you brought up. He's had multiple fans kicked out.

Basically, if you say anything bad towards him, he turns around,

looks at the ref and says, hey, get this guy out of here.

He probably paid millions of dollars to get these tickets,

and he's just yelling as anyone would.

He's rooting against me, so get him out.

Basically a dictator.

What about that girl after that game that was like,

LeBron, how does it feel to be a pussy-ass bitch? LeBron was probably like, this is good for the game. Gulag.
I think she's still in the gulag. So LeBron was asked about it.
And I actually thought this was interesting just because of the – I'll get to it. He was asked about it afterwards.
He said, I ride with Shane 365 days, 366 on a leap year, 24-7. So that's my guy.
I always got his back, and he's got mine. He can talk with the best of them for sure.
Okay, so wait. He's condoning this behavior.
He was condoning him. He was appreciated because he was the one that was getting into it with the Grizzlies players.
So he was happy that Shannon had his back, despite the fact that he was just a fan. What did Skip have to say about say about this whole interaction well this is where i didn't realize before this that him and shannon were this close like i didn't realize it was well lebron probably loves le shannon because le shannon stands up to him against skip but that means because i know lebron goes out of his way he never mentioned skip he never interacts throughout his whole career but that to me just means that like they are probably just drink some wine together and just talk about Skip for hours.
Yes. I didn't realize how much Shannon having his back to Skip meant to LeBron.
I thought LeBron was like, you know, I just don't. But him being this close to Shannon and supporting him this much means he pays very close attention and is very rattled by what's totally fine though with fans doing this because i i'm looking at lebron's instagram right now and actually afterwards he wrote uh with a caption with shannon wearing a preposterous sweater by the way uh during this whole thing which was very funny uh he wrote caption if i I wish a motherfucker would was a person mood.
The snorty face,

snorty face emojis unc vibes so he really condones this it sounds like it sounds like he's really set himself up for the next time somebody talks shit to him so yeah so fans should know nba fans if you're sitting courtside uh lebron is cool to be uh the mood I wish a motherfucker would. Yeah.
Give off unk vibes to LeBron, and that's fine. Snort.
It should be fine. Next time a fan says anything, he should be okay with it, right? Yeah.
If we're being consistent here, which I think that LeBron is nothing but consistent. Yes.
Okay. That was an all time.
I went to sleep early on Friday, and I woke up, i was like what the fuck happened you know what i think there's a in the 12th seed by the way yeah i bet you in the west i bet you the podcast though with road i bet you lebron decided to stop being a cowboys fan because skip is a cowboys fan yeah and they couldn't have that commonality yeah i'm such a comfy man i'll say this too too quickly. Pap Ev podcast with Rowan is great.
I listen. They were talking about LeBron and he said that LeBron likes the show and listens to the show.
And that almost made me like LeBron. He listens to this show? Almost.
He listens to what show? The Pap Ev show with Rowan. Oh, yeah.
Nice. Yeah.
Okay. If he goes on, maybe confirmed fame.
Yeah. Or if he comes on PMT.
Yeah. PFT.
Yeah, my who's back of the week is U.S. Rugby.
U.S. Rugby's back.
Oh, shit, you stole my second one. Damn it.
They had a sevens tournament in Hamilton. The boys finished in third place.
Oh, hell yeah. We're back.
We got the bronze medal. We beat France in the bronze medal game.
That means on the global standings in this year's Sevens World Series, which, as you guys know, travels from location to location, there are many fixtures, USA's in second place. Wow.
We're back. Hell yeah.
We're officially back. Our team's good.
One of the Yachts. They're fun to watch.
It's all Yachts. So it's like a big, every weekend that they have an event, it's a big tournament with Yafs in that tournament.
And then it's a point system. So this weekend, I think we ended up, I want to say, 17 points for second place.
And so we carry that on, and you get a cumulative score. Right now, we're two points behind New Zealand for first place overall.
We still got a lot of time left. We can make up those two points easily so usa rugby's back man wow it's

back officially oh awesome yeah fuck yes so excited i know you guys are first handball now this you guys you guys love usa rugby love it i'm more of a nines guy but sevens is cool we don't play nines we play sevens i'm an eight eights we don't play eights we play sevens what else do they play for I'm 14s guy.

Sometimes 10s.

Never 8s?

Never.

I don't play eights. We play sevens.
What else do they play? I'm 14s guy. 15s.
15s. I was close.
Sometimes 10s. Sometimes 10s.
Never eights? Never. I don't think that.
What if two guys gets injured on the 10s? I don't think that there's eights. What if there's too many? I don't think there are nines either.
Are there too many men on the field on a sevens? Would that be eights? Sevens. If there's too many men, then you can get an eight.
Yeah. Okay.
So that's eights. I'm an eights guy.
You're the team yeah all right my who's back was also uh major unc vibes i lebron is such a hypocrite that was that's we should probably get courtside tickets to a game and just test that theory i mean he's down for it yeah yeah he's in he's in uh billy my who's back is weird science uh if you guys saw dalton schultz today was wearing a weird thing around his neck, which is a cue collar. Oh, yeah.
Which is supposedly... Tony Pollard, too.
Yeah, supposed to help protect the brain from injury during head impacts. But as we kind of saw later in the game, kind of was making bad decisions, lackadaisical footwork, didn't put his foot in bounds, took a hit, didn't get out of bounds i have a theory this uh technology it was based off of um woodpeckers yeah and how it protects their brains and basically it's supposed to constrict certain blood vessels going to your brain so there's more blood in your brain it's like a cock ring for your head yeah i think these guys are just lightheaded oh yeah yeah And it's just, he had a bird brain.
Max, it literally is. Yeah.
He's just bird brain. That's the same principle.
I'm not a cock ring guy, but I know the physiology. You sound like a Bob cock ring guy.
I know the physiology for how it works. And that's, so that means that the blood can.
Just letting you know you're coming across as a cock ring guy. That means that the blood can get in.
This is screaming. But it can't get out.
You are. I know how.
Big can't get out. I know how it works.

Why do you use it?

I don't know.

Because woodpeckers have rock hard dicks.

When do you use it?

Like special occasions and shit?

The cock ring?

What is it for?

The cock ring?

The cock ring?

It's to prevent damage to your head okay but I mean it makes sense so what you're saying Billy is that they're cutting off oxygen to their own brain and that makes them make dumb decisions yeah that's what I'm thinking yeah I like it I like where your head's at okay good job Billy Jake finishes off I've never like it. So I like where your head's at.
Mm-hmm. Okay.
Good job, Billy. Jake finishes off.
I've never worn a Cochran. I've never learned something new every day.
Never worn a Cochran. He's a Cochran guy.
But what is the point of a Cochran? He's a huge Cochran guy. The Cochran.
He'll tell you after. Makes it look awesome.
Yeah. I don't know.
Just like jewelry. Why do you wear a bracelet? He'll tell you the real reason.
Why do pitchers wear fighting necklaces in the playoffs? You've always said you'd love to wear a fighting necklace, too. On my dick.
Right. Yeah.
They should do a copper fit for your cock. All right, Jake.
My who's back is Mike Francesa. He's joining First Take next week, February 1st.
Him, Stephen A., and Mad Dog all on the same awesome. Is he going to be able to get up in time for that? Hopefully.
I'm very excited for that. That will be great.
He'll have all the takes. They need to take calls on that show.
They need to open up the phone lines and let the people call in and get them started on some shit. I want to hear the old schoolers.
I forgot. I forgot how I didn't mention this.
Speaking of rugby, but Tommy Paul, our guy. He's in the round of 16.
Australian Open. He's playing right now.
Novak's still in. Who's our, who is it? Tommy Paul.
Oh, yeah. He's our guy.
Stooli. Who? Came to the office once and played ping pong.
Oh, yeah. And then we said if he ever like, we'll interview a tennis player.
He's the man. Shout out to Tommy Paul.
But he's our guy? He's my guy. Yeah.
Is he American? Yeah. Yeah.
He's Tommy Paul. Yeah.
I remember we played ping pong against him. Yeah.
Because Hank made it seem like he was a professional table tennis player. But then he came in and we're like, this guy's not that great at table tennis.
And Hank's like well yeah he's actually just a professional tennis player is he who's he playing joker roberto batista okay by the way i did see uh jokovic tried to get someone kicked out and i always have been consistent with this there's no booing or heckling in any sports disgusting behavior don't have that happen yeah it's gross and uh those people should be banished forever yeah always been anyways Mike and the Mad Dog with Stephen A that will be fun I'm very excited for that and shout out Tommy Paul yes our guy hopefully he won I'm gonna go home and watch credit to the Mad Dog because the Mad Dog is one guy that's not afraid of Stephen A and will get into his face so Stephen A last week was late for a segment and Mad Dog was like,

you've been out here

selling your book.

You can't be late for this show

because you're calling it

to Howard Stern

promoting your stupid book.

It's great.

It's great to see somebody

like on Stephen A's level.

I can't wait to see Mike.

I hope he falls asleep

during the segment.

It'd be very fun.

He never did that.

Never did that.

Never did that.

That never happened.

It would also be very funny

if like somebody famous died and then he got to bring back the who cares. Hey, who cares? Stanley.
Who cares? All right. The gorilla.
I'm going to say something that I've never said before. Follow back after this if you want to go down a rabbit hole.
It's unreal content. Okay, nice.
Yeah, no, he's a great fall. Great fall.
I'm going to say something I never said. Well, first, have you ever gotten this one?

I think I'm rooting for Hank in this one.

Just this time.

Because he's so down.

Look at him.

Hank, he's in acid-washed jorts, a Dak Prescott jersey,

and he bought Cowboys Nikes.

He can't be down worse.

You got to take number four, Hank.

For your guy. Your guy.
For that. How many years? 14? 12 straight times.
12 times. 12.
Hank, you did get the European tourist jorts. What if we gave Hank 12 numbers? As opposed to what, William? Hank, you know what? You want 12 numbers? As a true Cowboys fan, you want 12 numbers tonight? Yeah.
Okay. Go ahead.
12 numbers. I'm going to take 21 for Zeke.
All right. 12.
All right. You want 12? 69.
11. 11.
10. 10.
9. 9.
8. 8.
17. 17.
6. 6.
34. 34.
96. How many is that? 96.
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9. You have three more.
88. 4.
4. 13.
13. Okay.
I have them written all here. This counts towards the money? Yeah.
He's a loser. He's not going to get it.
Fuck. He's not going to get it.
Oh, shit. He's getting 12.
You have a 12% chance of getting it. He's getting 12 numbers.
He's not going to get it, Billy. This is going to be incredible.
We all owe $20. And there's 99 numbers, so it's 12.1%.
Billy, do you not understand what's going to happen right now? I know, but if he wins, I'm going to be so pissed. Okay, well, then you should win.
Max, this is going to be great. Max.
20. 18.
All right. I don't even know what he has.
I have them all written down right here. I'll take...
What would be your 13th number if you had one? I don't know. I was going down from...
Just give me another one. I was going to just do 12, and then I just audibled halfway through.
Give me another one. So wherever I stopped.
Yeah, give me another number, though. Five? All right, I'll take five.
Five is my number. Given to me by Hank.
All right, you ready? Do you really want to win like this? Yes. I don't set the rules.
It's like $1,500. I'm down.
Come on. Okay, so the number is 54.
I'm going to read Hank's numbers real quick back to everyone. 12, 11, 10, 9, 8, 17, 6, 34, 96, 88, 4, 13.
Hank, you did not get it. You had 12 shots.
Billy, did you not realize what I just did? I know. He will never get it.
He had 12 shots and he still didn't get it. He's doing one extra number each show.
No, that's it. He's a loser.
The guy's a loser. Look at him.
He had 12 shots. You weren't even that close.
You actually were pretty much the farthest you could have been from all the numbers. Your closest one was 20 away, I think.
Can we do another one? No. I mean, I'll hit one just for fun.
It doesn't count. It doesn't count.
It does not count. 93.
Oh, he did have 96, so he was close there.y you got to just remember it like you got to trust the content i i know but never gonna get it that was a great moment the stats billy he the stats don't matter when it comes to hank we've proven this before it's more likely that like lightning strikes than you not be able to get the ball right two years in a row.

He just had 12 picks and he didn't even come close.

He's a loser.

That's crazy.

Love you guys.

Mammoths might be cloned as early as 2024.

I still didn't get it. Today is another day to find you shining.
I'm coming for your love of great.

Needless to say, I'm setting in. But we've stolen away.

Just now they learn that life is okay. Say after me.
