Speaker 1 Who's back of the week? PFT's back, safe and sound. Thank God.

Speaker 7 This is totally PFT and not a replacement.

Speaker 1 This is totally not a replacement, AI version of PFT.

Speaker 1 And we are going to do a little football guy of the week, touch a little college football. A lot of stuff to get to.
A lot of sports to get to. It was a great little break, but we are back.

Speaker 8 When cool, creamy ranch meets tangy, bold buffalo. The hole is greater than the sum of its sauce.
Say howdy, partner, to new Buffalo Ranch sauce, only at McDonald's for a limited time.

Speaker 7 At participating, McDonald's.

Speaker 1 Okay,

Speaker 1 let's go.

Speaker 1 Now in the street, there is violence,

Speaker 1 and then a lot of

Speaker 1 work to be done.

Speaker 1 No place to hang out or washing,

Speaker 1 and then I can't blame all on the sun.

Speaker 1 Oh no, we're gonna rock it down to Electric Avenue,

Speaker 1 and then we'll take it higher.

Speaker 1 Oh, we're gonna rock it down to eat.

Speaker 1 Part of my take

Speaker 4 presented by Barstake.

Speaker 1 Welcome to Part of My Take, presented by Coors Light, the greatest beer ever created.

Speaker 1 The mountains on the bottles and cans turn blue when it is cold, and it's always cold when you're drinking Coors Light. Today is Monday, November 28th,

Speaker 1 week 12.

Speaker 1 Hank.

Speaker 1 We started Nashville where ABCDEFGHIJK elemental P-Q-R-S T Higgins spelled it out for the Bengals with a monster day.

Speaker 1 Iron Hayden Hearst had the Titans saying run to the hills as he and Samaji Pirime of the Ancient Mariner laid the medal down in Tennessee. Tractor Cedo.
What's that in his tailpipe?

Speaker 1 It looks like a burrito. As the Bengals defense were able to slow down Derrick Henry all afternoon long.
Bengals 20, Titans 16.

Speaker 1 In Duval,

Speaker 1 where the game was delayed by 30 minutes due to lightning, which is something that would never happen in the glorious kingdom of Qatar, praise be to the Emir.

Speaker 1 Travis Entimens went out, making way for Jamaicho Pastry, and Trevor Lawrence tried to find him on a croissant route over the middle, saying, saying, do not, do not, do not even try to tackle him.

Speaker 1 Nailed it boom. Stop me if you've heard this before.

Speaker 1 But the Ravens blew a fourth quarter lead as they couldn't keep up with the Joneses after Marvin and Zay scored a touchdown two-point conversion to win the game. Now we are all jagging off.

Speaker 1 Jaguars 28, the Ravens 27.

Speaker 1 In soggy meadowlands, the price is white for the Jets as Zach Wilson passed the buck on blame for the offensive woes last week, leaving Mike to save the Jets playoff chances from the cliffhanger.

Speaker 1 Trevor Sibian looked shaky in the Bears' offense as Chicago wasn't able to score often. And as for their former starting quarterback, Jets fans are back thinking he's the worst one.

Speaker 1 So I must inquire, Wilson, can you still get it done? Oh, Wilson, can you still get it done? Jets 31, Bears 10.

Speaker 1 We head down to Miami, where so no one told you life was gonna be this way.

Speaker 1 You won a nine and one and you're looking forward to draft day.

Speaker 1 At least you've still got Damien Pierce and Derek Stingley too. He's looking pretty fierce.
So Kyle be there for you.

Speaker 1 When Alan starts to throw. Kyle be there for you.

Speaker 1 And love he's gonna go. Kyle be there for you.

Speaker 1 Kyle there for me too.

Speaker 1 Dolphins started. My good friends, the Texans, 15.

Speaker 1 In Carolina, where it's become rust dangerous for Broncos fans' health to watch his team play football. What's that sound?

Speaker 1 It's Trey Wingo screaming, oh God, please don't let the invisible fire burn my friend. As Sam Darnold did his best Ricky Bobby impression rolling into the end zone for a touchdown.

Speaker 1 Tempers flared on the sidelines as this entire season has been a mic per cell phone for Russell Wilson. Panthers 23.
Broncos 10. Which one did I say?

Speaker 1 Cell phone! Cell phone. That's that's Mike per cell phone.
That's that's the bird we keep in the studio, boom. He just learns how to whoop and how to carry on and does the noises that we make.

Speaker 1 We head up the coast to Ral John for a wet one, but the commanders had their admiral Brian David Robinson to steer the ship.

Speaker 1 And a touching tribute to Will Compton, the Washington Commanders unveiled a completely immobile statue without any legs, arms, or heart before the game.

Speaker 1 Kendall was feeling fuller, much like all you fat asses that couldn't stop eating this past weekend. And let me be the last to wish you all a very happy Thanksgiving.

Speaker 1 The Washington Commanders 19, the Falcons 13

Speaker 1 in Kansas City, where the game started with Sean McVay getting

Speaker 1 jacked off. They don't take hits like that in the announcers booth, boom.
In an attempt to carry the hell on with their season, the Rams have turned to Bryce Kendrick Perkins.

Speaker 1 Through the foghorn of the Chiefs roster turnover, I say, I say, Isaiah Pacheco has emerged as a featured back in Addie Reid's offense, which means he's not featured at all.

Speaker 1 The Chiefs' defense showed up in the fourth as Chiefs fans said Nick Cannon Bolton is legerious, Daddy. As both defensive players came away with an interception: Chiefs 26, Rams 10.

Speaker 1 All the real ones from like 2006 are going to get that one. In Seattle, DK

Speaker 1 have a four-way put up a flame-broiled 90 burger, but was overshadowed by Josh Jacobs.

Speaker 1 Grab a bushel put a little makeup and his system of a first down, turning the Seahawks' defense into chopped suey.

Speaker 1 Foster the people Moreau scored as the Raiders outran the overtime gun and drew Glock's coin toss prediction, avoiding a tie for the second straight week. Don't look now, but the

Speaker 1 Raiders

Speaker 1 are hot.

Speaker 1 the Raiders 40 the G-Hawks 30

Speaker 1 Standing on the corner Jameis Winston down in NOLA such a fine sight to see

Speaker 1 It's a big moment the Saints looking potent It's so boring watching nice Andy

Speaker 1 Come on James, it's time to save

Speaker 1 us

Speaker 1 And please keep Kamara out of Las Vegas.

Speaker 1 Yes,

Speaker 1 the Saints don't go marching. Niners 13, Saints, Goose Egg.
And that was week 12, Fastest Two Minutes.

Speaker 7 Hey, it's PFT here, reminding you that Boarshead makes game day entertaining elevated and effortless.

Speaker 7 Whether you order catering platters ahead from your local Boarshead retailer, or you create your own spread at home with Boarshead premium deli meats and cheeses, you are sure to impress your guests.

Speaker 7 My favorites like oven gold turkey or blazing buffalo style chicken paired with their classic Vermont cheddar or creamy monster cheese are sure to score big and help me elevate my entertainment every time, whether it's for a tailgate or a home gating celebration.

Speaker 7 Seriously, guys, it's a game-changing flavor for every gathering. Boarshead, committed to craft since 1905.

Speaker 1 Okay, week 12 in the books, Thanksgiving, everything. We're

Speaker 1 got the Eagles and the Packers going on. Mid-third quarter.

Speaker 7 Unexpectedly good game today.

Speaker 1 Very fun.

Speaker 1 Hit the over in the first half.

Speaker 7 I blame Florio entirely. Florio knows at this point that America counts on him to go against the grain and pick against what everybody else is picking.
Yeah. Nope, still did tonight.

Speaker 7 Still with the Eagles.

Speaker 1 Just do it once in a while, Florio. Just be that guy for us.
But yeah, crazy few days of sports.

Speaker 7 We have a lot to get recap.

Speaker 1 We're going to do all of Sunday's games. Then at the end, we'll talk a little bit about Thanksgiving.

Speaker 1 And then we have who's back. We'll talk about your trip to Qatar and everything.

Speaker 1 Oh, okay. I'm very excited.
Sounds fun. You want to do it right now? No, no.
Oh, okay.

Speaker 1 All right. Let's get into some games.
So, so do go check it out. Stored upbarsenalsports.com.
We appreciate everyone who has bought something, who is going to buy something, and it is very important.

Speaker 1 This is an important weekend for us. Let's do some games.
Let's start with probably the best game in terms of two playoff teams as of right now. The Bengals, 20, the Titans, 16.

Speaker 1 The Cincinnati Bengals, we talked about it last week.

Speaker 1 They're sitting basically at the exact same spot they were at last year when they ripped off all those wins and went all the way to the Super Bowl. They go into Nashville.

Speaker 1 They get in a fist fight with the Titans and come out with a win.

Speaker 1 And the Bengals are now the only team that are undefeated against the Tennessee, against Mike Vrabel's Tennessee Titans with at least three games played.

Speaker 7 Yeah, Joe Burrow is now 3-0.

Speaker 7 Against the Tennessee Titans. That's a trend.
And the streak is officially over. So the Tennessee Titans lost a game in which Derrick Henry had one reception.

Speaker 1 Was it his only reception, the one that he fumbled?

Speaker 7 Let me look that up. It might be.

Speaker 1 Because that would be

Speaker 1 a great asterisk. No, he had another one.

Speaker 7 He had another one? Okay. So, yeah, we were all thinking that they were going to win because he did get that one reception.

Speaker 7 But it just turns out that the Bengals defense in the second half, it's just legit. Eight out of 11 games this year, the Bengals defense has not allowed a touchdown.

Speaker 1 They have gone, so outside of the Browns game, which they just got worked, they can't beat the Browns for whatever reason.

Speaker 1 And then the Panthers game, which was a blowout and they just played, you know, pre-vent and let them come score some points the second half.

Speaker 1 If you count every other game, so take those two games out, the Bengals are allowing 4.7 points in the second half in the entire season. That's pretty cool.

Speaker 7 It's crazy.

Speaker 1 Every halftime they go in and they make an adjustment and they're like, all right, now we're just going to shut them down. And the Bengals win this game with no Jamar Chase, no Joe Mixon, T.

Speaker 1 Higgins looking like a superstar. I'm happy for T.
Higgins because

Speaker 1 everyone talks talks about Jamar Chase, rightfully so. Is he the best number two receiver in the league? T.
Higgins is pretty fucking good.

Speaker 7 Oh, Jake with a big, big no, no, no.

Speaker 1 Waddle.

Speaker 7 Oh, no, I don't know, Jake, because I feel like they've got two number one receivers.

Speaker 1 That's a good. That's fair.

Speaker 7 I'm talking about he's a true number two receiver.

Speaker 1 And also,

Speaker 1 is like Tyreek a real number one? Because is he tall enough?

Speaker 1 You really need a tall guy to be your number one.

Speaker 7 Tyreek Hill is kind of one of those gadget guys. Yeah, right.

Speaker 1 He's more like a really, he's like the best number three ever.

Speaker 7 Yeah, no, he's like, yeah, the goat number three.

Speaker 7 So, yeah, Waddles a better number one,

Speaker 7 but T.

Speaker 1 Higgins is probably the best number two overall wide receiver. Awesome.
And it does feel like, you know, he doesn't get any of the pub that Jamar Chase does because Jamar Chase is so incredible.

Speaker 1 But to have Jamar Chase be out for an extended stretch, and Joe Burrow needed T. Higgins today and relied on him, and he made an incredible touchdown catch.
He had over 100 yards.

Speaker 1 The Bengals are just, I'm mad at myself because I just, I know that I bet the wrong, and this is recency bias, but I should have just put a future on the Bengals, not the Ravens. Because

Speaker 1 I think the Bengals are going to do what they did last year.

Speaker 7 And they'll be more fun to root for.

Speaker 7 The Ravens will be just, they'll make you want to tear your hair out.

Speaker 1 I'm just going to end up at the end of the season with a future on every NFL team.

Speaker 7 I want to give credit to just the conditioning of the Bengals because I feel like a lot of times you can say, oh, they're so good in the second half, they make great adjustments and they outcoach the other team, which they probably do.

Speaker 7 What if they're just like in much better shape than other teams? Yeah, what if they just run more during practice? That's what our coaches used to always say: like, you want to be a second half team?

Speaker 7 Okay, well, stick around because we're going to run for a half hour after practice. I wonder if the Bengals do just like more running.

Speaker 7 That might be a very dumb, basic way of looking at this team, but it'd be very funny to see like what they do differently that makes them so much better in the second half.

Speaker 7 Whether it is like, okay, they do weird, like, they all work out like they're James Harrison.

Speaker 1 No, you just assume in college and pro that like all the teams have the same conditioning, but then you will watch a team and be like, wait, they just, they're stronger in the fourth quarter.

Speaker 1 Something is right. Like the remember

Speaker 7 that Skyline Chili gives you superpower.

Speaker 1 Skyline Chili.

Speaker 1 There was a big story about when Kirby Smart stole Nick Sabin's,

Speaker 1 what do you call it?

Speaker 1 Fuck, my brain is so mushroom. Conditioning player? Conditioning.
Yeah, yeah. His coach, the conditioning coach.
Strength and conditioning coach.

Speaker 1 And it was like, this guy is the most important guy in any major college football program because he is with the players more than anyone else.

Speaker 1 Now, obviously, they don't do strength and conditioning the same way in the NFL, but there are certain teams that I bet you they just do it better, and they have guys that are in better shape and can, you know, run longer and not tire at the end of games.

Speaker 1 And maybe the Bengals are that team.

Speaker 7 I don't know the Bengals are just doing like suicides every day at the end of practice. Yeah, they're doing it whatever.

Speaker 1 Whatever the cheap version is. They're doing like...
That's what I'm saying.

Speaker 7 All you need for that is a field with 100 yards worth of lines on it that would actually think they can handle that that would actually be funny if the bengals uh the i think the only team like in the world that doesn't have an indoor practice facility yeah just has like a basketball court that they make them run suicides suicides actually it's it's kind of like the training montage in rocky where everybody else is hooked up to like ventilators yeah monitoring their vo2 max and meanwhile the bengals are just so cheap that they're like okay go out into this river and then swim out there and catch a fish with your bare teeth yeah and bring it back run to kentucky and back yeah touch that's our entire strength touch the state line yes yes back and forth.

Speaker 1 But yeah, the Bengals, they're just going to do it again. I really, and they have the game against the Chiefs next week, which, if they win that game, like,

Speaker 1 I think that's when everyone's going to be like, oh, shit, here come the Bengals again.

Speaker 1 And I don't really think less of the Titans. It's more that the Titans are...

Speaker 1 a well-coached team that has certain limitations and like they have to almost play a perfect game to beat a team like the Bengals and they didn't they played a little less than perfect today yeah um I mean Derrick Henry had a pretty bad day today the Bengals defense is awesome The Bengals defense is awesome.

Speaker 7 DJ Reeder was incredible at defensive tackle. And then Mike Hilton,

Speaker 7 their running back, was also tackling Derrick Henry. And he's about my size.

Speaker 1 They're not running back. They're cornerback.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 7 They're cornerback. He's like 5'8, 5'9, 180 pounds.
He's just like grabbing a leg. Turns out to tackle Derrick Henry, you don't have to hit all of Derrick Henry.

Speaker 7 You just have to hit one leg and just hold on for dear life.

Speaker 1 You have to just give him like a flat tire on his shoes.

Speaker 7 Yeah, if you can just like grab onto

Speaker 7 his leg like a four-year-old grabbing onto their dad walking through the living room, then that should be enough to at least like delay him. And then after the game,

Speaker 7 he said, we are who we thought we were, which is like a nice little twist on it. Also very difficult if you're conjugating verbs to make sure that's correct.

Speaker 7 But I think the Bengals never wavered in their confidence in themselves. It was just everybody else being like, oh, it's the Bengals.
They might go back to being the Bengals of old.

Speaker 7 But no, I think that it's essentially the same team as last year.

Speaker 7 Same coaching, most of the same players. So they're still going to be pretty good.

Speaker 1 And they're running the ball. It feels like they're running the ball well, and they have that element to their offense.

Speaker 1 They're doing it all without Jamar Chase, who, when he comes back, and now you have to worry about a go-route just beating you at any moment. That changes how every defense has to play them.
But yeah,

Speaker 1 I liked also Joe Burrow after the game said, when the going gets tough, I'm going to go to the guys that make plays, and T is that guy. It's talking about T.

Speaker 1 Higgins and basically saying good teams or great teams win games like this where you go in and it's a slug fest because it was.

Speaker 1 It was always a one-possession game um no team was able to get away from the other and the and the titans like they make those little mistakes they made the mistake where they they roughed the kicker and they could have had they could have had a chance to get the ball back with like two minutes left yeah and then the game just ends with them kneeling it down if you're a titans fan and you kind of know that you're gonna you're gonna win that division again you're gonna make the playoffs and you've kind of i would imagine resigned yourself to the fact that you're not gonna go anywhere in the playoffs right at this point you understand that your team's too flawed you just have to you have to start hanging your hat on the back-to-back-to-back division champions at this point.

Speaker 7 Be like, that's pretty impressive. We're the division champions, no one can beat us.
We've repeated it. This is our place until someone takes our crown.

Speaker 7 That's what you have to take pride in.

Speaker 1 I feel like

Speaker 1 if you're a Titans fan, I think you're telling yourself:

Speaker 1 if someone maybe knocks off the Chiefs and then we have one perfect game against the Bills, like you could.

Speaker 1 The way the Titans play football is they make every game just so miserable for the other team that you could can

Speaker 1 no one's no Titans fan's like, oh yeah, we're gonna win the Super Bowl.

Speaker 1 But in a weird way, their style of play is like, yeah, we could just ruin everyone else that we play and maybe we just play like three just terrible games to watch and find a way to win them.

Speaker 7 Yeah, they're just constant spoilers. Yeah.
That's your best thing is just be a spoiler out there. Every week.
And if you can get to a place, you have a couple of these weeks every season, too.

Speaker 7 If you're a Titans fan where you get to play the nobody in the media ever talks about us card, when you get pissed off, like legitimately mad at the media for not showing you guys enough respect, that's like your Super Bowl.

Speaker 7 Yes.

Speaker 1 Right there. Yeah.
So all you have to do,

Speaker 7 just play good enough to be able to get mad at us for not talking about you guys.

Speaker 1 This actually was the battle of those teams.

Speaker 1 Bengals fans and Titans fans are like, who can the winner of this game basically just went directly on Twitter and like, will you please just shut up about the Titans? Yeah.

Speaker 1 If the Titans want to be like, will you shut up about the Bengals? We beat them.

Speaker 1 That was the result of this game. Yep.

Speaker 1 Okay.

Speaker 7 Oh, Trent Taylor. Another one catch.

Speaker 1 Who is a confirmed AWO? Oh, absolutely. Good friends with our good friend, George Kittle.
Shout out, Trent. You're listening right now.
What's up, dude?

Speaker 7 One catch, one target, eight yards, another triple single for Trent.

Speaker 1 Oh, nice. Hell yes.

Speaker 1 He's in our Hall of Fame. Yes.

Speaker 7 Yes. The part of my take Hall of Fame,

Speaker 1 the single king. The 1-1-1.
One is all you need.

Speaker 7 We need to make one of those graphics like

Speaker 7 the Tony Snow graphic for just Trent Taylor's receiving line every single game.

Speaker 1 Yeah, so shout out Trent. What's up, dude?

Speaker 7 Keep your eyes on the shop. He also did a sweet backflip today while they were in victory formation.

Speaker 1 Yes, that was cool.

Speaker 7 That was pretty cool. You hardly ever see that.

Speaker 7 Is he related to Zach Taylor? Is that how he got the job on the team? Probably, yeah. Nepotism.

Speaker 1 Yeah, I think that is. I think that's Zach Taylor's cousin.
Yeah. So he's like, that's just why he's on the team and getting one catch and also doing backflips.
Backflips, yeah.

Speaker 1 Put him in for the backflip victory formation.

Speaker 1 Okay, next up: Commanders 19, Falcons 13.

Speaker 1 The Commanders steal steal one from the Falcons because it looked like the Falcons were going to win the game. And the Commanders now continue their march towards possibly the playoffs.

Speaker 1 We're in the playoffs right now. This was a big game.

Speaker 7 This is my official moment to say if the season ends today, which you never know, Putin's up to stuff, we would be in the playoffs. Yeah.
Incredible. We made it.
Congratulations.

Speaker 7 Very happy with the outcome of the game today. There was some stuff before the game that I feel like we should talk about a little bit because

Speaker 7 I had this conversation with everybody here last year, the first time that we fucked up Sean Taylor Day. And

Speaker 7 the gist of my feelings at that point were Sean Taylor was a person. He wasn't a marketing event.
He wasn't something that you use to sell merchandise.

Speaker 7 He was a man that died protecting his family and his house when he got murdered. And he meant a lot of things to a lot of people.
Myself, including my favorite football player of all time.

Speaker 1 So

Speaker 1 for the second straight year they managed to fuck up sean taylor memorial day wait what which no but they that's got to be a record right i knew they fucked it up last year so why this they had to have fixed it right with like a statue or something this is screwing up the makeup so um

Speaker 7 on their on the team website they called it like the memorial event and the memorial uh setup that they had they it was the memorial installation is what they said they did also call it a statue on one part of their website before uh the event happened typically i don't know how familiar you are with statues um

Speaker 7 statues generally have faces and heads and bodies and body parts, but remember the Ronaldo statue?

Speaker 1 Maybe they were trying to avoid that.

Speaker 7 You can't fuck it up if you don't actually have a statue. Yeah, isn't it like art too? There's some subjection to it, yeah, it's in the in the eye of the beholder.

Speaker 1 Well, for people who didn't see it, it is essentially like the commanders went to sports authority and they're like, oh, you guys are going out of business.

Speaker 1 Let me get one of your under armor mannequins and I'll put them in the stadium and we'll put a Sean Taylor jersey on him.

Speaker 7 Yeah, and tell you what we'll do is we'll give him a Nike jersey, which he never played in,

Speaker 7 Reebok pants, and then Adidas shoes.

Speaker 1 Oh, perpetrator. And then Haynes.

Speaker 7 He was perpetrator. Damn.
Big time.

Speaker 7 It was... It was really strange, to say the least.
There was some other stuff that they had there that was pretty cool that his family had designed.

Speaker 7 I know his daughter was involved with making some of the designs, which was cool. And there's like a memorial fund.
I get that. It was awesome.

Speaker 1 So they did something right.

Speaker 7 Well, I'm looking forward to them really nailing it on year three. It's got to be Sean Taylor respecting it.

Speaker 1 It's now become kind of a cool, like, hey, how will they fuck this up?

Speaker 7 Let's see new, brand new ways that you can absolutely destroy Memorial Days for maybe

Speaker 7 the best player that I've ever seen play football.

Speaker 1 So

Speaker 7 all that out of the way,

Speaker 7 there was also a big hat today. Yes.

Speaker 9 Brian Robinson Jr.

Speaker 7 Brian Robinson Jr. wearing the big hat after the he had a great game.
He broke 100 yards, was just smashing people up, running into faces.

Speaker 1 Wait, so hold on.

Speaker 1 They ran the ball all over the Falcons and the Falcons still haven't signed Will Compton? Yeah. Hmm.
Seems like they could use a guy like that.

Speaker 7 Doug some holes. Some people are saying that Will Compton just didn't show up for this game because he was scared of the commanders.

Speaker 1 Sounds like they could use a big belly man to just jump into some holes.

Speaker 7 Yeah, I mean, if Will had been there today, I think you'd see a much different outcome.

Speaker 1 Yeah, no, no. Will would have stopped this personally.

Speaker 7 I'm actually not counting this loss on the Falcons. This is a Will Compton loss.

Speaker 1 Oh, wow.

Speaker 7 Yeah, personally. Will Compton 0-1 on the year.

Speaker 1 I'm going to count it as a Will Compton win because the Falcons realized, holy shit, we really need Will Compton. Year 10 has to happen now.

Speaker 1 This is a glaring need.

Speaker 7 He is coming back, right?

Speaker 1 He did the video and everything. I think so.
Maybe.

Speaker 9 Possibly. What are you saying?

Speaker 1 What are you looking at, Sink?

Speaker 3 No, he made the video saying he's back, and then he does not.

Speaker 1 Year 10, but I think from the little I've talked to him, I don't want to talk out of school here, but I'll just say this. I think people are trying to stop Will Compton from having year 10.
Goodell?

Speaker 1 He wants to get into year 10. He is ready to go.
My guy is in shape, best shape of his life, never looked better. He actually looks like a Nebraska Will Compton.
That's the pop he has right now.

Speaker 1 And the NFL is like, no, no, no, no. We can't have a guy like you who's so

Speaker 1 incredibly gifted, both on and off the field, playing in the NFL anymore. And that's all I'll say about that.
It's sad that they're free Will Compton. Free Willie.

Speaker 7 Yeah. The Commies are 6-1.

Speaker 1 No, not actually, because we've seen his

Speaker 7 boxers. The Commies are 6-1 in their last seven, which is,

Speaker 7 that happened all of a sudden.

Speaker 1 I mean, Taylor Heineke, all he does is win. He didn't even play good today.
No, he played okay. He made some good throws.
He wasn't good.

Speaker 7 There was one part of the game, I think, where he went 0 for 6.

Speaker 1 Besides that, he had a really bad interception.

Speaker 7 Well, it was like across the field. He was a little bit slow to make sure it was bad.

Speaker 1 Well, it's not that it wasn't a pick six. No,

Speaker 1 I'm saying there's a compliment to Taylor Heineke. He did not have his best game, and they still found a way to win.
And like, that's just what something about Taylor Heineke. All he does is win.

Speaker 7 Yeah, he's listening. Taylor Heineke at this point has proven, I think, that he's a good quarterback.

Speaker 7 I'm getting close to the point where I'm just ready to, I'm dangerously close to saying he's the guy.

Speaker 1 I'm very close. He was 14 for 23 for 138 yards.

Speaker 7 I wouldn't say that was great. It wasn't great, but I'm still thinking.

Speaker 1 Yeah, no,

Speaker 7 he's so cheap at the quarterback position.

Speaker 9 He's building around him.

Speaker 7 He's going to continue to be cheap.

Speaker 1 The guy wins football.

Speaker 7 Why not just build around him?

Speaker 1 He wins football games.

Speaker 7 Somebody, I don't want anybody to talk me out of him being the guy just yet because it's even, it feels good to maybe think possibly he might be the guy.

Speaker 1 You've seen me do it all year, and you're like, I want that.

Speaker 6 Well, no, I mean, he's not.

Speaker 7 He's not that.

Speaker 7 Justin Fields is that dude.

Speaker 1 Yeah. No, we'll be able to.
Tyler Heineke could be the guy.

Speaker 7 He could be the guy. Which is like a step below that dude.

Speaker 1 And also, we should say that he possibly could have played not his best because he looked like he injured his elbow. And it was one of those moments.
It was like on a handoff. It was very weird.

Speaker 1 And I think there can't be a scarier moment. Like

Speaker 1 when a starter gets hurt, every fan goes through, holy shit, our season's over.

Speaker 1 The fact that the backup almost gets hurt and you're like, holy shit, we have to watch Carson Wentz again. Yeah.

Speaker 1 It's a wild, like, I actually turned to you. I was like, I don't want to see Carson Wentz in this game.
No one wants to see Carson Wentz.

Speaker 7 Carson Wentz didn't want to be in that game.

Speaker 1 It's more significant than like Patrick Mahomes getting hurt because

Speaker 1 the world does not want to see Carson Wentz play football anymore.

Speaker 1 And Taylor Heineke is the one who's holding, he's holding this together.

Speaker 1 He is the Carson Wentz stopper. So he has to stay healthy.

Speaker 7 Because Carson Wentz was going to get in the game, probably do something stupid. I would get mad at Carson Wentz, but then I would feel bad about being mad at Carson Wentz because he's just so sad.

Speaker 7 So, yeah, I didn't want to see that either. I think he had a funny bone thing.
Whatever it was, he got better at the end. Our defense bin, but don't break.

Speaker 7 The defensive line is still really good, even without Chase Young.

Speaker 1 Again,

Speaker 7 he was not being a cheerleader this time. I think he was sick, so they didn't have him play in the game tonight.
But he's been activated. But he's been activated.
He's officially activated.

Speaker 7 I really believe in this defense. They're doing something special there.

Speaker 7 The offense has been just good enough, playing safe enough football, and Taylor Heineke, you know, he makes throws when it counts. Yeah.
When you need one, he's got you. He's got you.

Speaker 7 It's like all that extra. He's got none of the bells and all the whistles and all that stuff, but

Speaker 7 he's like a solid 1997 Honda Civic. Never break down, get you point A to point B all the time, no problem.

Speaker 6 That's true.

Speaker 1 When you need a big third-down conversion, it feels like Taylor Heineke will either get it for you or figure out a way to get a flag for you. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Something's going to happen to get you that first down.

Speaker 7 Yeah, as long as he doesn't explode or like steer off the road, which he has a tendency to do from time to time, but the numbers don't lie. Fact or fiction,

Speaker 7 the commies are six and one in their last seven. Yeah.
Facts.

Speaker 1 Taylor Heineken five and one as a starter this year.

Speaker 3 Black and red, great combination to get a new pair of Jordans, too.

Speaker 1 Oh, yeah. That's true.
That's like

Speaker 1 the whole world's open.

Speaker 7 Is he going to get all black, do you think? Like the black with the red highlights on it? You can go either way. That would look hard.

Speaker 1 Yeah, the Falcons, I don't know what to, I mean, they're just,

Speaker 1 it feels like every chance they have to possibly take a step forward to maybe finding a way to win the NFC South, they just go backwards.

Speaker 1 I think this entire division is destined to finish with the exact same amount of wins

Speaker 1 because now you have the Bucs at 5-6,

Speaker 1 the Falcons at 5-7.

Speaker 1 The Panthers now have four wins, so they're 4-8, and the Saints are 4-8. So they're all just right there.
They're right there. No one's up.

Speaker 7 And at at this point, every NFC East team would be in the playoffs, which is crazy to say.

Speaker 7 That's a good and a bad thing. You mentioned the Bucs still being alive.
This would put the Cowboys and the Bucs matching up in the first round of the playoffs right now.

Speaker 7 Tom Brady has never lost to the Cowboys. Wow.
And it would also put myself facing off against Kirk Cousins

Speaker 7 round one in the playoffs, which would be.

Speaker 1 That would not be fun for you. It would not.

Speaker 1 Okay. Speaking of.

Speaker 11 Falls here. Kids are back in school.

Speaker 1 The Bucs.

Speaker 1 Browns 23, Bucks, 17.

Speaker 1 PFD, I have some unfortunate news for you. Todd Bowles is a really shitty head coach.

Speaker 9 Yeah, he stinks.

Speaker 1 He is so bad, and the Bucks, the Bucs have their problems. They're not a good football team.
I would say they're like...

Speaker 1 They basically go from slightly below average to slightly above average on any given Sunday.

Speaker 1 But this game, if you're a a Bucs fan, and we know Stephen Shea, who will not do this, so I'll do it for him. This game is 100% on Todd Pulls.
He coached like a fucking coward.

Speaker 1 He doesn't know who his quarterback is. The Bucs should have won this game.
They gave it to the Browns. No disrespect to the Browns because I'm happy for Jacoby Brissett.

Speaker 1 But the Bucs handed this game away, and they did it three different times. I'll take you through them.
The first time, it's the fourth quarter. It was 17-10 Bucs.

Speaker 1 It's fourth and two from the Cleveland 37 37 PFT. The Cleveland 37, fourth and two, 17-10, fourth quarter.
Go get a first down,

Speaker 1 get a first down, get a field goal, make it a 10-point game, make it so the Browns cannot come back. What does he do? He takes a delay of game and he punts into the end zone for what?

Speaker 1 A 22-yard net punt.

Speaker 1 I haven't seen David Shaw, who just retired and walked away from Stanford. That's a David Shaw special.
37-yard line. 37-yard line, you punt.
Next time, 6.59. Same score.

Speaker 1 The game was basically 17-10 for the entire second half. And the Bucs were like, hey, let's just hopefully we can punt our way to winning this game.
6.59 left. Fourth and three from the Cleveland 48.

Speaker 1 You have Tom Brady as your quarterback. They punt.
And then the last one, which I still like, I don't understand whatsoever. You have, again, Tom Brady as your quarterback.

Speaker 1 I'm pretty sure that guy's had a bunch of comebacks and can get a team down the field pretty quickly. 32 seconds left, tie game.

Speaker 1 You have all three timeouts and he runs a screenplay and doesn't use the timeout. Then Tom Brady throws it to Julio Jones to midfield and then he uses the timeout.
There's eight seconds left.

Speaker 1 There's nothing you can do. I don't understand it.

Speaker 7 This is where you miss Bruce Arians because Bruce Arians, love him or hate him, he was a big-time fuck it guy. You need a fuck it guy sometimes.

Speaker 7 You don't really win big games without having a guy that's not afraid to just get ridiculed by everybody for having something blow up in his face.

Speaker 7 Bruce Arians was absolutely 100% that guy. He loved to do fuck shit out there.
Todd Bowles, just,

Speaker 7 he's so conservative when it comes to these play calls.

Speaker 7 The touchback that you mentioned, I think that was the first one.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 7 That was, it was, it was ridiculous. If it's fourth and two,

Speaker 7 why are you trying to draw them off sides? Like, Tom Brady

Speaker 7 probably,

Speaker 7 without looking at it, I would imagine that on fourth and two plays, Tom Brady is probably in the 60 to 80 percentile when it comes to converting those over the course of his career.

Speaker 7 And I guess Todd Bowles is just like, I don't know, maybe he's just used to coaching quarterbacks on the Jets that just aren't able to do those sorts of things.

Speaker 7 You're right, he forgets who his quarterback is sometimes. And this was the first time that Tom Brady,

Speaker 7 so he's 218 and 0 besides this game when he's up by seven or more points in the last two minutes of the fourth quarter. Now he's 218 and 1.

Speaker 1 It's crazy. They just, they, they essentially were like 17, 10, we're good.
We don't need to score any more points. We don't need to to try to win this game.
Todd Bowles, like,

Speaker 1 and I don't know how it all broke down, how Tom Brady ended up being,

Speaker 1 getting Todd Bowles as the head coach. Like,

Speaker 1 we think that maybe he and Bruce Arians had a falling out, and if they did, that was a big mistake.

Speaker 1 That was an FDX-level mistake, by him, because now you got a guy, and Byron Lefwich deserves some blame too, because their play calling is so conservative, and you have Tom Brady as your fucking quarterback.

Speaker 1 Like, that was such a winnable game that they just completely pissed away.

Speaker 1 And again, no disrespect to Jacoby Roussett, who I'm happy who he got a win on his final start because Jeshaun Watson's coming back. The catch that Njoku made was insane.

Speaker 1 But it was like watching one of those games where you were just like, how long are the Bucs planning on punting and hoping that they can stop the Browns?

Speaker 1 Eventually, the Browns will put together a drive here. And eventually they did.

Speaker 7 Both teams kind of played the same formula where neither team felt like they wanted to win this game. So they just kept

Speaker 7 being more conservative than the last, punting back and forth, back and forth, back and forth. It's funny you mentioned the crypto thing because Bruce Arians is probably most like crypto.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 7 You're either on the moon or you're just like calling your family to apologize.

Speaker 1 What are we doing here?

Speaker 7 Like, sorry for making everybody do this last Thanksgiving.

Speaker 1 Yes.

Speaker 7 And then Todd Bowles is basically like 10 years of a bond. Yeah,

Speaker 1 he's just putting your money away in a nice, safe mattress. Yeah.
Yeah, under your mattress, or you're going to be like, you know, what is it? Your IRA? Is that it?

Speaker 7 Yeah, the Roth IRA.

Speaker 1 Roth IRA.

Speaker 1 Sure. We're not financial consultants here.
But yeah,

Speaker 1 he's basically like, you know what? I'm going to earn 2%

Speaker 1 0.02% on all my money forever. Yeah, but I'll be fine.

Speaker 7 It's not going anywhere.

Speaker 1 Yeah, it's never going anywhere.

Speaker 7 But he's always going to be hovering around like 6 and 11. Yeah.

Speaker 1 It's just he's a bad coach, and I don't understand.

Speaker 1 How he doesn't get all the like that.

Speaker 7 I think now you're going to start seeing it. I think he's gotten a pass because this is, he's still like relatively new in this position.

Speaker 7 But as much as this season has gone past, you can now look at the body work and be like, yeah, he's, he's definitely costing them points.

Speaker 7 Maybe he just thinks that his defense is that good, where his motto is like, maybe he thinks he's coaching the Broncos. He's like, if I just get 17 points, then we should win every game that we're in.

Speaker 1 It's crazy.

Speaker 1 That game was so maddening because if you're a player, too, like, I can't believe Tom Brady isn't like, hey, dude, I'm Tom Brady. Like, what are we doing here?

Speaker 1 Let's fucking go for it on fourth fourth and two on the 37th he could probably quarterback sneak i bet you most of tom brady's qb sneaks end up being two yards long yeah he get he's that automatic at him it's crazy so yeah that was a totally like just when you think the bucks might have turned a corner they win a couple games in a row they have this um i also

Speaker 1 there's no stat behind this i just watching nfl football every sunday mike evans leads the league in balls that are very close to his hands that he doesn't actually extend for oh yeah i just feel like every every sunday i watch watch him, and I'm not trying to say that he's a great receiver, but it feels like every Sunday there's at least three or four times, and maybe it's they're just not on the same page, there'll be a pass that from where I'm sitting, so maybe the angle's wrong.

Speaker 1 I'm like, he maybe could have caught that if he had like extended or dove for it, and he just doesn't even attempt for it.

Speaker 1 Well, he does have like super long arms, he had that a couple times today, and like Stephen Shea was just like, well, he didn't see the ball. It's like, really?

Speaker 1 That's, I mean, it's a big part of the job. Yeah, that would be like number one thing of his job is track the ball.

Speaker 7 Yeah. So the Browns end up at 4-7 without Deshaun Watson.

Speaker 7 At the start of the season, if you were to say they end up 4-7, I think most people would say, yeah, that's probably exactly what I thought they would be.

Speaker 1 But they still have to just, they're going to kill themselves for that Jets game. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Because that's one of those ones where it's like four and the difference between four and seven and five and six is like 100 wins.

Speaker 7 I think that's the biggest gap between a one-game

Speaker 7 that there can be.

Speaker 1 Five and six, you're ready to go.

Speaker 7 Five and six, Deshaun gets there.

Speaker 1 And you're going to the playoffs.

Speaker 7 And you're thinking, yeah, I'm going to make the playoffs.

Speaker 7 Four and seven, you're done. I guess that's exactly what you bargained for when you got Jacoby Brissette.

Speaker 1 Yeah. Yeah, and I like Jacoby Brissette.

Speaker 1 I think he definitely earned himself a backup role for a very long time because there was moments where it's like, ooh, Jacoby Brissette, things are looking okay. And there was.

Speaker 7 He had a hell of a block today out in the open field, too.

Speaker 1 Yeah, he did. He's a big boy.
I don't like the Browns' all-brown uniforms.

Speaker 7 The Neon Browns?

Speaker 1 I don't like them. It just looks like a cheap suit.

Speaker 7 It's funny when you think of the color brown, you don't really think of color rush as much. And they tried to do a color rush, which I still, I don't know, it's so brown.

Speaker 7 You must admit that as far as Browns go, it's pretty brown.

Speaker 1 I just like the Browns jerseys, like they're classic jerseys. I think they're some of the best jerseys in the NFL.

Speaker 1 And so when they do the color rush, it's like, ugh. I don't know.

Speaker 7 I still think that the Browns, they've had so many heartbreaking moments on that field when the elf is at midfield. Yeah, you got to start.

Speaker 7 I know you just put it in this year, but you got to sometimes read the signs from the gods. And it's like, okay, maybe.

Speaker 7 Well, I guess today they had it and it ended up working out for them, but I don't know. I still get bad vibes.
I get like creepy, Halloween, stabby doll vibes.

Speaker 1 Yeah, from every time you see it.

Speaker 4 There was a car on the field this week.

Speaker 1 There was a car?

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 4 What do you mean? On the Browns field. You guys didn't see this? No.
No. There was a car that broke into the stadium.

Speaker 1 Oh, my God. And that's so Cleveland.

Speaker 9 And did donuts on the field?

Speaker 1 Yeah. That kind of rocks.
So Cleveland.

Speaker 7 Okay, I like that.

Speaker 1 Yeah. That guy rules.

Speaker 7 That seems like, yeah, that's a cool guy move.

Speaker 1 That was also, that guy probably was just like really amped up for Ohio State, Michigan.

Speaker 1 The whole week was just a lot.

Speaker 7 Do we know what kind of car it was?

Speaker 4 I can look into it more.

Speaker 7 I would speculate a Thunderbird. It feels like a Thunderbird move.

Speaker 1 It could just be like a

Speaker 1 04 Corolla. It's probably Miles Garrett.
Yeah, it could have been Miles Garrett. He just got lost.

Speaker 1 Yeah,

Speaker 1 the Bucs are just maddening, and they'll still make the playoffs, and we just have to remember that they're not a good team. Yeah, well, I was thinking.
And Todd Bowles sucks as a coach.

Speaker 7 Todd Bowles does suck as a coach. I was thinking about them because I don't...
I was trying to think, are they one of the worst good teams or one of the best?

Speaker 1 They're a good, bad team.

Speaker 7 Really? Because I think they're actually like a bad average team.

Speaker 1 I think they're the best

Speaker 1 bad team right now. Because they do bad things.

Speaker 7 They do really bad things.

Speaker 1 they're bad boys yeah and then they're not in a good way not in a good way they play the saints on monday night football i'm sure they'll win actually no no i mean this could this could be the saints yeah

Speaker 1 this is the saints um by the way we're all playing hurt and injured uh i have a sore throat pft's got jet lag hank are you are you better

Speaker 1 yeah i'm great you're feeling good rested up yeah you got us all sick i'm glad you just handed it you just handed it off you were so sick last week or was it the person who's not even here because he's sick?

Speaker 1 Oh, that's Billy? Yeah, Billy's not here. He was sick three weeks ago.

Speaker 1 All right, next up, Jaguars. What are you going to say, Jake? You got it?

Speaker 4 I think it was a

Speaker 4 competitor.

Speaker 1 Oh. Oh,

Speaker 1 yeah.

Speaker 10 Shame. I'm looking to confirm.

Speaker 4 Okay.

Speaker 1 Jaguars, 28, Ravens, 27, Trevor Lawrence. This was the Trevor Lawrence game.
Trevor Lawrence has arrived. If you're a Jaguars fan, this is the game you will have in your head for this.

Speaker 1 This buys you like three more years of Trevor Lawrence.

Speaker 7 Yeah, I mean, he was awesome in the fourth game.

Speaker 1 Incredible in the fourth game.

Speaker 7 And that last drive, it was weird watching the Jaguars execute that drive competently. It didn't register with me because it had quite literally never happened before.
Yeah.

Speaker 7 So, in terms of where they found themselves at the end of that game, the Jaguars,

Speaker 7 they were 0-183 in franchise history when trailing by seven or more in the final minute of regulation.

Speaker 7 They're now one in 183. This is the first time that's ever happened.

Speaker 1 It felt like

Speaker 7 everyone expected the Jaguars to blow it.

Speaker 1 It was something about the teal uniforms, like

Speaker 1 them coming back in those teal uniforms, the teal pants. It didn't look normal.

Speaker 7 And he had third-down conversions. He had fourth-down conversions.
He made tough throws.

Speaker 7 It was a legitimate, like,

Speaker 7 it was a nut-dropping moment for Trevor Lawrence.

Speaker 1 Yeah, he had two drives in the fourth quarter of 75-yard touchdown drives, some fourth-down. Yeah, like you said, fourth-down conversions.

Speaker 1 They go for it with the two-point conversion to win the game in regulation. It was an awesome Trevor Lawrence game.

Speaker 7 Now, Doug almost fucked it up, though. Yeah, he did.
With the squib kick, which would, that would have been the most classic Jaguars moment ever. Your highly touted but emotionally shaky

Speaker 7 star quarterback leads you down the field for what should be like a career stepping stone moment. This is, yeah.
And then your coach... kicks a squib kick.
They return it to the 40-yard line.

Speaker 7 You might as well have kicked it out of bounds. And then they get a few more yards, and then the best kicker of all time comes on, attempts a 67-yard field goal to win the game.

Speaker 7 That's how it felt like it was going to end up. But Justin Tucker was like two yards short, washed.
Yeah, is Justin Tucker overrated?

Speaker 1 It is.

Speaker 1 It was a joke. The thought crossed my mind, but it just shows how good he is that we all thought he was going to hit that.

Speaker 7 Yeah, and he was dead center on it.

Speaker 9 He was dead center.

Speaker 1 We also got from this game an all-time Lamar tweet afterwards.

Speaker 1 Someone named Castle Will Kill Kill

Speaker 1 said when someone is asking for over $250 million guaranteed like Lamar Jackson, games like this should not come to Justin Tucker. Let Lamar walk and spend that money on a well-rounded team.

Speaker 1 And he replied, boy, shut the fuck up. Y'all be capping too much on this app.
Motherfucker never smelt a football field, never did shit but eat a dick.

Speaker 1 Well said, Lamar.

Speaker 7 I think that the Ravens should cut him for this, actually. I think that they should not pay him.

Speaker 7 They should cut him and let any other team out there that potentially would like to to take a look at Lamar go ahead and pick him up.

Speaker 7 Because I think, like, Lamar Jackson is undisputably a great quarterback. It's funny how many people are starting to turn on him because he'll have, this was also a butt week for Lamar.

Speaker 1 Remember that.

Speaker 7 He had a bad butt issue earlier this week. Also, sometime after Thanksgiving with Lamar, I feel like there's probably a high likelihood of food poisoning.

Speaker 1 I would say Gus Edwards in that fumble is pretty bad.

Speaker 1 And your defense, which is supposed to be the strength of your team, giving up two 75-yard drives to Trevor Lawrence, those were, I'm not trying to make excuses for Lamar, but I would point to, he didn't play great, but I would point to those being like, hey, those are pretty significant.

Speaker 1 Like, Gus Edwards fumbled the ball, just basically dropped it right in the red zone. Credit to defense for holding to a field goal, but that was a significant, significant change in the game.

Speaker 7 Yeah, listen, Lamar didn't have a great game today, but I would love to see what the Ravens would look like without Lamar jackson and just see how quickly ravens fans will be like we fucked up i'm sorry i'm so sorry because like yeah huntley's good he's a he's a good quarterback one of the i think he's one of the more fun backups but like if you think that you are a better team without lamar jackson or that he's not worth 250 million dollars yeah you wait what was that last part of it you've never smelled a football field

Speaker 1 no you all you you never hold on do the whole thing boy shut the fuck up y'all be capping too much on this app motherfucker never smelt a football field Never did shit but eat dick. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Yeah,

Speaker 7 that's what you are if you think that Lamar Jackson should not be re-signed. Lamar actually said it perfectly.

Speaker 1 I'm looking at the guy who tweeted it and like, I get Lamar just replying like that. Like, I know sometimes people will be like, oh, Lamar, like, why do you, why do you care about these haters?

Speaker 1 I kind of would be that. I would be like that too every now and then where it's like, you're just sitting on your couch.
You're like, you look like you've never done anything athletic.

Speaker 1 and you're telling me that I don't deserve this money. Fuck you, dude.

Speaker 1 I would be pissed about that every now and then.

Speaker 7 You can tell that dude's a real alpha male because in his picture, he's doing like the smirk. He took a picture of himself.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 So he looks like

Speaker 7 if Nick Turani, he looks like Nick. If Nick's profile is one of those guys that say like, my second language is sarcasm.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 And owner of three cats. Yeah.
Yeah. He's doing like the Jim Halpert film.

Speaker 7 That guy ain't smelled a football field nothing but eat a dick. He just eats dicks.

Speaker 1 All day.

Speaker 7 Not in like a homophobic way. No, no, he's just.
That's just

Speaker 7 his diet.

Speaker 1 Yeah, the majority of his diet is dick. It's like elk penis.
Yes, he's just going and just eating dick.

Speaker 7 He's like, yeah, what's that guy's name? Andrew Zimmern? Yeah. The bizarre foods guy.
Yeah. Oh, that guy does is eat dick.
He's a dick.

Speaker 7 So this guy just has a bizarre foods diet and then just watches television and doesn't understand football.

Speaker 1 Yeah, but I like get it. I don't know.
It's like with Kevin Durant, when I've kind of switched on it, where it's like, I kind of understand when they're just like, you know what? Fuck you guys.

Speaker 1 Every now and then just say fuck you to someone online and it probably makes you feel better. And people will be like, oh, he's triggered.

Speaker 1 Like, no, I bet you Lamar closed his phone after that and was like, I feel better. Yeah.

Speaker 7 It definitely made him feel better. And I also think that it probably made people like Lamar more.

Speaker 1 Absolutely. Absolutely.
But yeah, the Ravens,

Speaker 1 it felt like they were going in the right direction and their blown lead thing just came back to bite them. And they were up 19, 10 in the fourth quarter.
That's what they do.

Speaker 1 Felt like they were going to win it. Yeah, it felt like though they had gotten over that phase because they've had a few weeks where they haven't done that.

Speaker 1 But now I guess they're back to that. So, yeah,

Speaker 1 their offense has problems, big-time problems.

Speaker 7 Yeah, so this is also

Speaker 7 that's so Ravens moment because you know how we went back and talked about how the 2011 Ravens had Joe Flacco. They weren't going to extend him.
They end up winning the Super Bowl.

Speaker 7 They have to pay him.

Speaker 7 Also in 2011, the Ravens lost to the Jaguars,

Speaker 7 like shockingly, which put them into a tie for first place in the division, just like it happened today. Ooh.
It's 2011 all over again.

Speaker 1 Ooh, okay.

Speaker 1 And we also saw Deshaun Jackson. Shout out to Deshaun Jackson.
64-yard catch and someone, I think Max even was like, that's Deshaun Jackson. We're like, whoa, that is Deshaun Jackson.

Speaker 7 Yep, he's still fast.

Speaker 1 Yeah, and he's probably going to get injured soon, but that was cool to see him out there. He caught a really long, long ball and then went right down.

Speaker 1 Because he was like, fuck this, I'm going to get injured.

Speaker 1 Okay. Jaguars are so nice.

Speaker 7 He's like a cheetah, though. You know, like, Like, cheetahs, they can run faster than anybody else, but then they have to lie down for the rest of the day.
Yeah. Spend all their energy.

Speaker 7 I think that's what Deshaun did today. I think he was like, okay, I ran.
I'm tired. Yeah.
And just sat down.

Speaker 1 By the way, next week, next Sunday, we have, I'm going to dub it

Speaker 1 who's got next? Or next up bull. The Jaguars versus Lions.

Speaker 1 Feels like both those teams are in the same spot.

Speaker 7 So you think that...

Speaker 1 Who's next up?

Speaker 7 Either the Jags or the Lions are going to be one of the elite teams.

Speaker 1 Next up. Okay.
Next up next year.

Speaker 7 I got the Lions. All right.
Lions got next.

Speaker 1 All right, I got Lions too. Yeah, the next up bowl.

Speaker 7 Because this was the Jaguars Super Bowl today. Yeah.
I've learned this year that the Jaguars can be good in moments. Oh, yeah.

Speaker 7 But the Jaguars also tend to look at these big, like these great games that they have for themselves, and they think, like, okay, yeah, we got this.

Speaker 7 There's no real use in us going out there and proving it again.

Speaker 1 We're not going to make the playoffs. Yeah, I mean, look at the Jaguars season.

Speaker 1 have seven losses, but then they also beat the Ravens. They pasted the Chargers and they pasted the the Colts.
It's like, oh, okay. Look at this.
These are significant.

Speaker 1 Like, hey, whoa, these are really good wins.

Speaker 1 Okay.

Speaker 1 Next up, Chets 31, Bears 10. So Billy is sick.
He is not here.

Speaker 1 But this game really didn't matter. Actually, it did.
The Chicago Bears now have the second pick in the draft. If the season ended right now.

Speaker 7 I was going to say it matters for a much bigger reason than that. You guys are the only team in the NFL to defeat the coin.

Speaker 1 Yeah, that's the same thing. The coin has been bested.
Yeah, change the banner right now. Specifically, beat the coin.
We got completely robbed of a late-breaking Nathan Peterman start.

Speaker 7 That's such bullshit.

Speaker 7 That sucks.

Speaker 7 Nathan Peterman, when he started trending, because who was it, Jay Glazer, said that, like, uh-oh, watch out. It looks like...

Speaker 1 Simeon hurt him.

Speaker 7 Yeah, pulled his oblique in warm-ups. We're getting Nathan Peterman.
Everybody, all of America, flocked to their televisions. He's like a gun.

Speaker 7 You can't pull out a Nathan Peterman and not use him. Right.

Speaker 1 And the reason why, I mean, like, Trevor Simeon obviously was like, fuck this, I'm playing because if I can play well, which he didn't really, I mean, he had one, he had two nice drives, but he's like, if I can play well, I can use this for, you know, my next contract.

Speaker 7 I would love to see what the reaction on the Jets sideline was. Like, what kind of actual preparation did they make when they heard that they might be facing Nathan Peterman instead of Trevor Simeon?

Speaker 7 Yeah. Like, what adjustments did they start to put in place? Yes.
Being like, oh, shit, okay,

Speaker 7 gentlemen, we've talked about this. We've discussed what could happen.
We prepared our backup plan. We're enacting that.
Like, what do you do differently? Just put more defensive backs out there?

Speaker 1 It's pretty simple. I mean, they showed them walking out of the tunnel together, and they just look like the same guy.
Yeah. It's like they have the same skill set of nothing.
Yeah.

Speaker 7 No offense. Nice people.

Speaker 1 Really nice people. Like them both as people.
Yeah.

Speaker 7 Skill set of nothing.

Speaker 7 I think the body of evidence is large enough on both of them to know exactly who we're getting.

Speaker 7 Was it Rosillo that was like, as America and as sports fans, we're starting to take mental health more seriously across the board, unless it's Nathan Peterman? Yeah. And then everybody's just like,

Speaker 7 let's laugh at that. Yeah.

Speaker 1 It goes the same for Russell Westbrook. Yeah, basically, those two guys, the world has just decided we can just rip them apart.

Speaker 1 But yeah, this game, the Jets. Crushed the Bears.
Their defense is elite. I've said it a million times.
And Mike White,

Speaker 1 I don't know. I mean, I'll just throw out a stat.
Mike White has started four games for the Jets. He has two games of those four with three touchdown passes.

Speaker 1 Zach Wilson has started 20 games for the Jets. He has never done that.

Speaker 1 I'm just going to throw that out there.

Speaker 7 But he's Patrick Mahomes.

Speaker 1 He's got the ceiling of Patrick Mahomes.

Speaker 7 Yeah, that's true. That's where the upside is, right?

Speaker 1 Yeah, that's he does have the, but I

Speaker 1 so we

Speaker 1 I think the Zach Wilson thing happened after we went off for break, right? I think it happened like late Tuesday. I think, yeah.

Speaker 4 So Billy's hot seat, so we didn't have the full details, but I think it was a good thing. It was Paula saying he wouldn't commit to that.

Speaker 1 Yeah, they did it off. Yeah, so

Speaker 1 how do they go back to him?

Speaker 7 I don't know, like deactivating him, making him. Was this like the last teachable moment for Zach Wilson?

Speaker 1 Do does this happen? Can you go back to him? I don't think you can.

Speaker 7 Yeah, you can. The only way that it happens is if Mike White goes out there, completely shits shits the bed, and they put him in in like the fourth quarter, and he looks competent.

Speaker 1 But it was really mean of like this locker room must hate Zach Wilson so, so much because the Bears' defense was the perfect get right.

Speaker 1 Like, the Bears' defense gives up points to everyone. So, Zach Wilson would have probably looked okay,

Speaker 1 and instead he was just sitting on the sideline. They put up the stat that he gained

Speaker 1 2.5 inches on every play in the second half against the Patriots. Very sad.

Speaker 7 They kept showing him on the sidelines, too. And we are body language experts here on part of my take.
I didn't see a lot of teammates hanging out with him on the sidelines.

Speaker 1 I don't think he's well liked.

Speaker 7 He was just looking

Speaker 7 kind of wet and cold in the rain.

Speaker 1 Yeah. He's.

Speaker 1 What were you going to say, Hank?

Speaker 1 I don't know how they put him back in.

Speaker 7 He's got to win back the locker room.

Speaker 1 How? He apologized to that.

Speaker 3 I think that takes time. I think what PFT said, you need to

Speaker 3 show it with how he carries himself for the next few weeks. And then if if something happens where he can get in the game, maybe win them a game, and that's his only way.

Speaker 7 Someone's got to fuck his mom. Yeah, Mike White.

Speaker 7 And then he has to get into a fight with that guy.

Speaker 1 No, Elijah Moore.

Speaker 7 Yeah, Elijah Moore has to fuck his mom. Then Zach Wilson has to knock Elijah Moore out.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 7 And then they need to trade Elijah Moore. Yeah.
That's really the roadmap because they might, I don't know if the Lockeru might hate Elijah Moore more than they hate Zach Wilson. I don't know.

Speaker 1 He caught a touchdown today, and he's good friends with Mike White.

Speaker 7 Also, Garrett Wilson has, I think he's got four touchdowns on the year. He has two each from White and Flacco, zero from Zach Wilson.
Kind of interesting stuff there.

Speaker 1 It's,

Speaker 1 yeah,

Speaker 1 I think the Jets fans are probably, I mean, they're happy. They should have beaten the Bears today.
The Bears are not good, especially without...

Speaker 1 Justin Fields being out of this game made the Bears.

Speaker 1 It actually, I was texting my friends, like, because I've said it before, I want them to win a couple more games with Justin Fields because I want to just see him win a game but without him it's full-on tank like there's no reason there was no part of me that was like I hope the Bears win this game because it does nothing but hurt them in the future and rooting for the Bears to lose

Speaker 1 is like a cathartic experience because they're a juggernaut at that yeah do you know what I mean like I would like being like I I don't want the Bears to win this game just reversing my entire mindset about the Bears I was like I want them to lose this game and they are incredibly competent at that.

Speaker 7 Yeah, we got this.

Speaker 1 They know how to do that very, very well. So it was like the easiest Sunday of my life.

Speaker 7 Yeah, it is. It's crazy

Speaker 7 that it was against the Jets, and you're like,

Speaker 7 this is going to be easy for us. Yeah, and it trained my entire life for it.

Speaker 1 I mean, the Jets are a way better team than the Bears right now.

Speaker 1 That one play where it was like a fumble on the field goal, and it was just like passed around five times. That was just a perfect Jets-Bears play.
And yeah, I don't know.

Speaker 1 The Bears are a juggernaut at losing.

Speaker 7 So good news for all the Zach Wilson fans out there. It looks like

Speaker 7 the Jets are going to be playing the Vikings next week. And then after that, the Jets are playing at the Bills.
It could be a rough couple weeks for Mike White. I don't know.

Speaker 7 At which case, do you then bring Zach Wilson back

Speaker 7 for a home game against the Lions, who have a terrible defense?

Speaker 1 Christian Watson is so fucking fast. Holy shit.
Jordan Love, by the way, is in the game.

Speaker 7 Christian Watson? Yes. I love it.

Speaker 1 Jordan Love is in the game. Let's go.

Speaker 1 Aaron Rodgers went to the locker room, probably to

Speaker 7 thumb.

Speaker 1 Get a Perker set. With a thumb.
With a thumb. But yeah,

Speaker 1 you were right. I think that maybe...
I just don't know how you do the... Like, if Mike White plays competent football, the Jets become a legitimate playoff threat.
Yeah, because they're...

Speaker 1 To make the playoffs. Well, not only that, but

Speaker 1 that's the craziest part about Zach Wilson.

Speaker 1 Come on.

Speaker 1 Their defense is that good. I honestly believe their defense is that good.

Speaker 7 To make the playoffs, yeah.

Speaker 1 No, but I'm saying, like, if they got,

Speaker 1 if the Jets had been getting

Speaker 1 B-minus quarterback play this year,

Speaker 1 they would probably have two more wins, maybe? Yeah. Like, they would be a team that you'd be looking at like, holy shit, the Jets are, whatever, 9-2 or something like that.

Speaker 1 Like, that's how bad Zach Wilson has been. He's been literally the worst quarterback in the NFL.

Speaker 1 So if Mike White is B-minus quarterbacking, I think you've got to just keep rolling with him and be like, this is our best chance to win. Also, the coin is dead, by the way.

Speaker 7 Yeah, the coin is dead.

Speaker 9 Were you listening to earlier

Speaker 1 in the segment? That's okay.

Speaker 7 It's all right, Hank. You're sick.
Quinn is dead.

Speaker 1 You got us sick. Yeah.
You're sick in the head.

Speaker 1 Yeah,

Speaker 1 that was basically it

Speaker 1 for the Jets Bears game. I mean, that was.

Speaker 1 I don't know. It just doesn't feel like anything without Justin Fields.

Speaker 1 The Bears literally went from, I think it was the Panthers loss, or the Panthers win, and someone else won that got the Bears up to the number two pick. Yeah, it was

Speaker 7 the shit, who was it?

Speaker 7 Panthers.

Speaker 1 Leon Drivers is insane. Was it Seattle? Oh, yeah, the Raiders.
The Raiders winning.

Speaker 1 The Raiders winning, definitely. And I think the Jaguars.
There's a couple three-win teams that won today that the Bears were able to jump. So I feel good.
That's good. The second pick is a real pick.

Speaker 7 It's great, yeah.

Speaker 1 That's a fucking big-time pick.

Speaker 7 And you also get to have like entire off-season about trading back. Yeah.
Like, we love to trade back with anybody. I would love to to get more picks.

Speaker 7 Get more picks because you don't need a quarterback.

Speaker 1 And someone's going to want a quarterback.

Speaker 7 Someone always wants a quarterback.

Speaker 1 There are very good quarterbacks. Oh, boy.

Speaker 1 All right. By the way, we will talk about this Packers Eagles game when it goes final.

Speaker 1 That Christian Watson touchdown,

Speaker 1 that was not Jordan Love. That was Christian Watson being fast.
It was an easy pass.

Speaker 1 Christian Watson did the hard part.

Speaker 7 So Christian Watson was on, he was on that Trey Lance team at North Dakota State University.

Speaker 1 I believe so, yeah. I mean, he's so fast.

Speaker 7 He's huge, fast. He should not have, he should not have slipped in the draft as he did.
I do not like him.

Speaker 1 He is very, very fast.

Speaker 1 Okay, so next up, Panthers 23.

Speaker 7 This is funny, real quick. I just named Search Christian Watson on Twitter, trying to bring up the video of it.

Speaker 7 And the first two tweets that I see are from Eagles fans being like, why the hell wasn't he on Howie's radar during the draft? Oh, that's just mad at Howie.

Speaker 1 That is perfect.

Speaker 7 Good sports town, Max. Great sports town.

Speaker 1 Always.

Speaker 1 All right. Panthers 23, Broncos 10.

Speaker 1 I guess we should start with the Panthers. Sam Darnold with the funniest touchdown run of all time where he stopped, dropped, and rolled into the end zone.
No one touched him.

Speaker 1 If you haven't seen this, go watch it because it is very, very funny. He just fumbled.

Speaker 1 No one was near him, got the ball, and rolled like a toddler into the end zone, which I was looking up because we didn't put this game on TV.

Speaker 1 And when I saw that Sam Donald had a touchdown run, I was like, oh, he probably got a sneak or something. And then I saw that like five minutes later, I was like, wait, that's how he scored?

Speaker 7 It's a great strategy.

Speaker 1 It really was.

Speaker 7 It's like better than the fake slide that Kenny Pickett did. My favorite moment of quarterbacks today was Russell Wilson just got cussed the fuck out.
Oh, big time.

Speaker 7 Like really cussed out by one of his teammates. Mike Purcell.

Speaker 7 Mike Purcell just like sprinted over to him, got into his face, and you could see Wilson like he realized that, okay, at this point, you just got to take it.

Speaker 1 Everyone hates me. I think it was the first moment where he's like, I shouldn't say Broncos Country, let's run.
You know what?

Speaker 7 I'm actually on Russ Wilson's side in this. I think Mike Purcell, that's his name.
Yeah. He's just, he's not unlimited.
He's telling on himself for being limited.

Speaker 7 And so it's everybody else's fault, but Russ Wilson. Russ, have faith, stay the course, everything will work out.

Speaker 1 I also, my favorite part of that video was the fact that Nathaniel Hackett was right there and just pretending it didn't exist. Yeah.

Speaker 1 He was the this is fine dog sitting in the fire. What are you guys? He's like, all right, so

Speaker 1 my, you know, a defensive player is just screaming at our franchise quarterback that we paid hundreds of millions of dollars to, essentially just showing everyone on the team that they don't respect him.

Speaker 1 I'm fine. Let's go for this one.

Speaker 1 Like, all right, what's the next play? Okay, we're going to punt. Okay, cool.

Speaker 7 What do you do if you're Nathaniel Hackett at this point? Because he seems like a guy that

Speaker 7 he could resign. He could step down.

Speaker 1 I was thinking about this. And by the way,

Speaker 1 I wouldn't have put it past Nathaniel Hackett to do, like, you know, when you're in an awkward moment

Speaker 1 or you see someone you don't want to run into and you pretend the phone call, he should have just taken this phone out of his pocket.

Speaker 1 I don't think they're allowed to have phones in their pockets, but he should have just been like, oh, I'm on the phone. Because

Speaker 1 the conversation, Russell Wilson getting cussed out was right next to him.

Speaker 7 Yeah, I would have just thrown a challenge flag.

Speaker 7 Just so the ref could come over to me, I could act like I was busy, have something to do, and at very least, like, have a conversation with him and be like, I'd like to challenge that last play, and then be like,

Speaker 7 what are you challenging? And be like, oh, I forgot.

Speaker 1 I was thinking about this, and I want to phrase this correctly because I do, I like Nathaniel Hackett as a person. Yes.

Speaker 1 But do you think there's ever been an interview we've done that we got less out of and we gave gave up so much in terms of making fun of a coach for being so bad at his job. Well, we didn't know.

Speaker 1 Right. I know.
I'm saying, like, if we could, if we, if present-day us could go back to Denver, Colorado during grit week when they're like, hey, do you guys want Nathaniel Hackett?

Speaker 1 We would have been like, no,

Speaker 1 we want to roast this guy. Yeah.
We do not want to meet him because we're going to like him because, again, he's a nice guy. But holy shit, he's a bad football coach.

Speaker 7 It's actually a very bad job on our part. We We should not interview brand new coaches anymore.

Speaker 1 No, we should get them

Speaker 1 first.

Speaker 7 We should wait and then see what it is we are going to want to make fun of them about.

Speaker 7 And then at that point, we'll say, okay, because he was so charming that he really, he really did actually, not just to us, but to the listeners, a part of my take. Yes.
Really a disservice.

Speaker 7 The content that we would be bringing out of this guy if we didn't like him would, I feel like it would be great. Now,

Speaker 7 at the same time, during the interview,

Speaker 7 and again, great guy, he did tell us straight up that when we were asking him about like decision-making and offenses that he wanted to run and how he looked at like game planning, he did say that the owners of the Broncos didn't really get much into football with him.

Speaker 7 Yeah, they wanted to know more about just like him as a person

Speaker 7 and whether or not maybe Aaron Rodgers could come join the team.

Speaker 7 So, that's kind of what happened with that one, we think, because ideally, if you're interviewing a football coach, you probably want to ask him about football.

Speaker 1 Yeah, no absolutely I would say that's that's probably the first thing you want to ask him I'm going to say right now well I'm I'm ready to just like we should just roast him because we might not have him for very long like this is this is going to end in him getting fired so I think we need to I think Nathaniel Hackett would understand like we've been very nice yeah we've been very nice you fucked up a lot we gotta Like this is like, you know, you're not friends unless you can really bust balls.

Speaker 1 Hey, Nathaniel Hackett, like, to show that we're friends,

Speaker 1 I can be like, hey, dude, you might be the worst coach of all time. Like, probably.
Like, that's just us busting balls.

Speaker 7 Maybe ever. Yeah, like ever.

Speaker 1 And the thing is,

Speaker 9 he's so nice of a guy.

Speaker 1 Like, ever's a long time.

Speaker 7 He's probably not going to throw Russell Urban under

Speaker 1 the bus. Yeah.
Urban at least had that one game where it felt like the guys were going in the right direction. Even the Broncos wins don't feel like that.

Speaker 7 Yeah, and at least Urban was out there doing cool stuff.

Speaker 1 And Urban's been an incredible college coach, one of the best college coaches of all time. Nathaniel Hackett has

Speaker 1 ever.

Speaker 1 He might be ever.

Speaker 7 And

Speaker 7 like I said, he's too nice of a guy to throw Russell Wilson completely under the bus because he's just going to be just straight up.

Speaker 7 Like, he could, if he was a little bit more cutthroat, he could bench Russell Wilson. But he's not going to do that.
Also, he's probably not empowered to do that.

Speaker 1 No, he probably can't do that.

Speaker 1 Russell Wilson can bench him. And McDaniels, by the way, started 6-0.

Speaker 7 So that's different. For those Broncos.

Speaker 1 For those Broncos, which he has,

Speaker 1 it's bad.

Speaker 1 It's really bad. I don't really know what else to say besides, dude, like, maybe you should have stayed in med school.

Speaker 7 I still feel like he could,

Speaker 7 once he does get fired or quits, he's probably going to come onto the show and do a very

Speaker 7 illuminating, funny interview about just how in over his head that he was. I don't think anybody's been as over their head in their job.
Yeah. Maybe ever.
No, he's not.

Speaker 7 As the Daniel Hackett is right now.

Speaker 7 He's like, if you do type proficient in Excel on your resume, and then they're like day one, okay, we need you to make this spreadsheet for us and put in a few macros and you just like immediately go to Google and start googling how to do Excel.

Speaker 7 No, you walk out and you start just sweating.

Speaker 1 Yeah, you walk out because you're like, I can't do this. I lied on my resume.
This is what it feels like with him. He lied on his resume.
He can't do this and he should probably stop doing this.

Speaker 1 And yeah, you're right. Like he will probably come back on and I'll be like,

Speaker 1 coach, this is a funny thing I said about you. I said you're the worst coach ever.

Speaker 1 And he'd be like, ah, that's funny, guys.

Speaker 1 And I'd be like, that was fun. Well, I mean, like.
Here's a robot question.

Speaker 1 Are you the worst coach ever?

Speaker 7 There's a lot of stats that you could point to that would say yes.

Speaker 1 Yes, yeah.

Speaker 6 I'm not saying it.

Speaker 7 I'm saying that there's a plethora of coaches.

Speaker 1 No, I am saying he's the worst coach ever. Okay, I'm going to clarify.

Speaker 7 We'll do good cop, bad cop.

Speaker 1 I'll be good cop.

Speaker 7 I'm not saying that about him.

Speaker 6 I haven't seen every coach ever coach.

Speaker 7 But as the numbers go, the numbers make a compelling argument that he is the worst coach of all time, maybe in any sport.

Speaker 1 You're doing like the Carl Everett doesn't believe in dinosaurs.

Speaker 1 I didn't see a lot of bad coaches, so they don't exist.

Speaker 7 No, but it's not me. I'm saying the numbers are telling me.
The numbers, certain statistics that you look at say that he's the worst coach of all time.

Speaker 7 And maybe it's also across other sports, like maybe even if you include basketball. Yeah,

Speaker 1 it's so, so bad.

Speaker 1 that Sam Darnold looks like he's got a second shot. Like, that's how bad it is.
They are, they can't score. They can't do anything.

Speaker 7 Is that another field goal?

Speaker 1 That was another field goal. That's three.
Incredible. 61-yarder, 40-30 Eagles with 216 left.

Speaker 1 They can't do anything. They have

Speaker 1 Mike Purcell, their nose tackle, screaming at Russell Wilson. Nathaniel Hackett's standing there, not able to do anything.
Brian Burns was mocking Russell Wilson with his sack dance. Did you see that?

Speaker 7 He's not unlimited either. It was great.

Speaker 1 He did the when Russell Wilson's sitting at the

Speaker 1 50-yard line before a game and pretending that God is literally touching him. He did that as a sack dance.

Speaker 7 Like, Russell Wilson has become such a joke.

Speaker 1 The audibles that he's calling that are from Seattle, he's getting mocked. He's getting yelled at.
And Nathaniel Hackett's just got to sit there and be like, this sucks.

Speaker 1 Like, I actually feel bad for the guy because Russell Wilson has not been...

Speaker 1 You could make the argument this might be one of the worst trades of all time with the way Russell Wilson's playing.

Speaker 7 Yeah, he's definitely like, I think in every statistical category, he's in he's either 20th or below of all the main ones. It's crazy.

Speaker 7 Okay, so I watched Russell Wilson play his entire career, watched a lot of him last year. He wasn't this bad last year.

Speaker 1 No, he wasn't.

Speaker 7 So it's a combination of

Speaker 7 altitude, Nathaniel Hackett, not

Speaker 1 Carol.

Speaker 7 Yeah, reading too many of his press clippings, the giant house that he bought with no bathrooms. Yep.

Speaker 1 Yep. That is a crazy house.
It is a wild. No bathrooms.

Speaker 1 Russell Wilson, by the way, talking about how do you think he explained

Speaker 1 the situation with Mike Purcell after?

Speaker 7 Okay, putting myself in Russell Wilson's shoes.

Speaker 1 Were the first three words he said? Everyone can guess. Russell Wilson gets screamed at by his teammate on the sideline, goes back to the bottom.
Watch my guy. That's just football.

Speaker 1 No, you guys are close, but not there.

Speaker 1 Jake, you got anything?

Speaker 9 We're sick of losing. Nope.

Speaker 1 It's It's perfect, Russell Wilson, he said.

Speaker 4 We'll get him next time. Nope.

Speaker 1 I loved it.

Speaker 1 Okay.

Speaker 1 He said, I loved it.

Speaker 7 That's just fire. Yeah.

Speaker 1 He came off real pissed off, said, let's F and go. Me and him are on the same page.
Okay. I think they actually are on the same page.
I'll defend Russell Wilson. I think

Speaker 1 Russell Wilson fully understands that his teammates hate his guts, and his teammates do hate his guts. Everyone's on the same page.

Speaker 7 Clap it up, guys.

Speaker 1 Just clap it up. Yeah.
Broncos Country, let's ride. Runner Runner pass.

Speaker 7 Everybody, come on, sideline. Everybody, scream.

Speaker 1 Runner pass, run or pass.

Speaker 7 Everyone on that Broncos sideline needs to look themselves in the mirror for not being unlimited enough and not yelling runner pass loud enough on defense to support your team.

Speaker 7 Because maybe if the defense was a little bit better, then you guys might win a couple foot.

Speaker 1 Oh, wait.

Speaker 7 The Broncos' defense is like the best in the NFL. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Although they did trade Bradley Chubb, but this is...

Speaker 1 I honestly think Russell Wilson needs to just sit out for the rest of the year. I was saying it.
A hard reset. It's the only way.
Samuel Hackett's going to get fired. Like you get someone else.

Speaker 1 I don't know. It's just because you're stuck with him.

Speaker 1 You can't do anything. You can't trade him.

Speaker 7 We talked the other week about which quarterbacks would be the worst to do drugs with, and Russell Wilson is unanimous. Number one.
Number one.

Speaker 7 I actually do think that Russell Wilson is the quarterback that needs to do drugs the most.

Speaker 9 Yeah. You know what I'm saying? I agreed.

Speaker 7 He would suck to do drugs with, but there's no quarterback in the NFL that's more in need of like a nice piping hot glass of ayahuasca than Russell Wilson. Yes, ego death.
Just like, yeah, just

Speaker 7 go off into the jungle for the next two months.

Speaker 7 Leave Siara behind. She'll be fine.
And yeah, just stay in a shaman's tent.

Speaker 1 Yeah, eat some mushrooms and put on a blindfold. Yeah.
And let your senses take over. I would like to do ecstasy with Sam Darnold.
Would you? Yeah, it'd be fun, I think. I think he's like a party guy.

Speaker 7 He was Sam Darnold.

Speaker 7 Yeah, that wouldn't be bad, I don't think.

Speaker 1 I'd like

Speaker 1 go to like an EDM concert.

Speaker 7 I'd like to slam some brewskies with Davis Mills yeah especially Davis Mills is sick at beer pong oh yeah big time he's got that neck yeah just leans it right over coke with Jameis

Speaker 1 oh man

Speaker 7 I don't know he would have you would either create the greatest company of all time or you just walk away being like what was that guy doing yeah the next thing I know I'm like I'm applying for a permit for like a crawfish boil restaurant in Memphis and and Jameis is like I know just a guy that can run crawfish gym yeah It's a cross.

Speaker 1 Yeah. You boil it.

Speaker 7 Well, you drag giant sacks of crawfish over your shoulder across restaurant, throw them in the pot. Yeah.

Speaker 7 Man, but it would be a legendary hang.

Speaker 1 My last thing about Sam Darnold, I think he deserves a little bit of credit.

Speaker 1 Who knows where his career is going? But Sam Darnold has gotten a win for these four coaches. Todd Bowles, Adam Gace, Matt Ruhl, Steve Wilkes.
That's impressive. Let's go, yeah.

Speaker 1 That's like, that's a fact that you could walk around and be like, you see these guys?

Speaker 7 He's playing NFL on expert mode.

Speaker 1 Steve Wilkes might be the best coach of them.

Speaker 1 Matt Ruhl, Todd Bowles, Adam Gase, Steve Wilkes.

Speaker 7 No, I still think Todd Bowles over Steve Wilkes.

Speaker 1 I don't know. Steve Wilkes got the boys playing fresh.

Speaker 7 Steve Wilkes is a much better interim coach than any of those guys. But

Speaker 1 that in itself, the fact that Sam Darnell has gotten the quarterback win for those four head coaches deserves like a tip of the cap. Like, wow, dude.
Yeah, that's impressive.

Speaker 7 That is pretty impressive. I just thought the name of Jameis Winston Jim would be CrossFit, but with a W.
I like it. I mean, I actually kind of want to start this gym now.

Speaker 1 Yes, I do too. And you can just, like, maybe, oh, maybe part of the workout is you, you, like, steal some crawfish and then you get chased.
Yeah. That would be great.

Speaker 1 That's the running portion.

Speaker 7 This is already audio burden. This is almost like a horizontal monopoly that we have going right here.
Yeah. It's, it's, it's like farm to table, except it's like supermarket theft to stomach.

Speaker 9 It's perfect. It's genius.
No one steals it.

Speaker 1 Okay, next up, Dolphins 30, Texans, 15.

Speaker 1 Jake,

Speaker 1 I almost like

Speaker 1 never would have forgiven the Dolphins for what they tried to do in this game by giving up the cover.

Speaker 1 That was the easiest win ever that they then just were like, second half, we don't even have to play.

Speaker 4 Tom Pace went by like 50.

Speaker 1 It was crazy. They came out there.
Actually, Brandon Cooks has a quote that was shocking.

Speaker 1 i don't think i've ever seen this from an nfl player he was asked when did the texans know they were overmatched he said from the moment we came out i'm talking from an offensive standpoint the moment we stepped out on the field that's the truth that's facts

Speaker 1 he's just straight up trying to get i don't he's just as blunt as it gets at this point yeah but that's as blunt as it gets and it it's true they came out there and they were overmatched from the moment the game started yeah 10 points in the first quarter for the dolphins 20 in the second quarter.

Speaker 7 It was 30-0 at halftime.

Speaker 1 They took Tua out, which I don't blame them. Well, it's because

Speaker 1 the big news out of this whole game was

Speaker 1 Teron Armstead, their left tackle, got hurt, and it might be bad. And then Tua got sacked four times in nine plays.
And they're like, well, this is probably a stupid thing.

Speaker 1 And yeah, I don't blame them either, but they almost fucked everyone over.

Speaker 7 Yeah, I mean, the Dolphins lost the second half 15 to nothing.

Speaker 4 This game is like the perfect example of the final scores not to indicate how the game went.

Speaker 1 No, I mean, like, 30 to 15.

Speaker 7 They could have scored as many points as they wanted in this game.

Speaker 1 It was like a week two college football game where you have like Alabama playing McNees State.

Speaker 7 Yeah,

Speaker 7 it was bad. It was ugly.
It was all the above. Congratulations, Jake.

Speaker 7 You beat up on

Speaker 7 a team that's not really an NFL team.

Speaker 1 No, they're borderline NFL teams.

Speaker 7 Yeah, but to the Dolphins' credit, that's exactly what you wanted to see the offense look like.

Speaker 1 Yeah, this was a preseason game for them.

Speaker 1 The Dolphins, though. So, the Dolphins, Hank, what are you rooting for here?

Speaker 7 Packers.

Speaker 1 What do you have?

Speaker 3 Money line.

Speaker 1 They're down 10.

Speaker 7 I know.

Speaker 1 With a minute 22?

Speaker 7 If they don't convert this, then they have to kick a field goal here because they're down 10.

Speaker 7 Which is what I really need. That'd be the fourth field goal.

Speaker 1 Oh, shit. All right.
So.

Speaker 7 No, no, no, no.

Speaker 1 Drop him, get back. Jordan Love.
He's balling. He's terrible awareness.
He could have run for that. He could have run for that.

Speaker 1 That's a fact. Is it not?

Speaker 1 Waste time, though. He could have run for it.
He had three timeouts. He had three timeouts.
He could have run for that. Look at how much space he had.
Jordan Love, terrible field awareness.

Speaker 1 I'm going to mark that right there, put that in my file.

Speaker 1 He absolutely could have gone to the sideline.

Speaker 1 He could have gone to the sideline.

Speaker 7 I don't know about that. I think that was.

Speaker 1 He's mobile. That was the passing.

Speaker 7 Quarterback got there quick.

Speaker 1 Wait. Oh,

Speaker 1 the meanest graphic of all time for the Dolphins, Texans. I don't know if you guys saw it, but they did nice PFT, the field goal bet.

Speaker 7 It hits every single time. It's crazy.
The three and a half field goals at night, it's got to be something like 75, 80%. It's always plus money in this series.

Speaker 1 They did an in the hunt for the AFC.

Speaker 1 It was every team except the Texans. Oh, that is.
Literally every team.

Speaker 7 So they're mathematically eliminated.

Speaker 1 I think so, but it was just so funny to see In the Hunt the most crowded graphic possible. Every team except the Texans.

Speaker 1 In the hunt.

Speaker 7 So would you... I feel bad for Lovey Smith a little bit that he has to keep going through the motions this season.
Yeah. But I think he likes coaching football, so it's likes being around the guys.

Speaker 7 Yeah, it's like better. His wife's probably like, you know, it's good that he's got interests that he's still into these days.

Speaker 7 If it were me, you'd probably have to pay me...

Speaker 7 I'd say $50,000 to coach the Houston Texans for the rest of the year? Or is that too little? And by that, I mean, like,

Speaker 7 only on game day. I'm not talking about, like, during the week.
I'm saying if you wanted me to fly down to Houston,

Speaker 7 Texas,

Speaker 7 every Sunday, spend my entire Sunday doing nothing but coaching the Houston Texans, I think my cost would be 50 grand for the rest of the year.

Speaker 1 50 grand a week?

Speaker 7 No, just, but I'm only working Sundays.

Speaker 1 Oh.

Speaker 1 Yeah. Someone else.
Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Because

Speaker 7 I have to stop watching football.

Speaker 1 No, I would not do that.

Speaker 7 But you remember, there's no state income tax.

Speaker 1 Yeah, but no.

Speaker 1 Not being able to watch all the games.

Speaker 1 If I could hold an iPad and watch the games while I coached yeah I'd do that you can listen to the broadcast the red zone broadcast in your headphones nope I wouldn't do it no no 50 grand no I watching football is priceless it's true it's my favorite thing to do you're right $50,000 is actually like a

Speaker 1 it's an insultingly low amount of money to coach the Houston Texans now you think about it right yeah no the Texans are just that's a garbage garbage team they're barely a team like you said barely

Speaker 7 I feel bad for Lovey knowing that he's not going to be back now. And, you know, he's not done anything to make you want to keep him around.

Speaker 1 They might keep him around.

Speaker 7 Like, just put him back at defensive coordinator?

Speaker 1 No, they might just keep him around. I don't know.

Speaker 7 I feel like the Texans have been dead set on hiring Josh McCown for the last

Speaker 1 season. They're encircling that, yeah.

Speaker 1 By the way, for the Dolphins, Dolphins are very good. Dolphins are 8-3.
Dolphins are first in the AFC East. Are the Dolphins...

Speaker 1 Yes, they would have, no, they would be the two seed right now. The Chiefs are 9-2.

Speaker 1 The Dolphins, though, we get a little like, are they for real coming up? Because they got to go at 49ers, at Chargers, at Bills, Packers, Jets,

Speaker 1 Packers, Patriots, Jets. These next three, though, at 49ers, at Chargers, at Bills, like, if they win two out of three,

Speaker 1 I, I don't think, why wouldn't we be saying Dolphins are a true bona fide Super Bowl contender?

Speaker 1 Why why wouldn't we i think we would be yeah i think they are right now i do i do too but i'm saying like that's the conversation like i don't think if you if you pulled everyone if if if you pulled everyone like who's gonna win the super bowl the dolphins are probably what like the fourth or fifth team that comes out of people's mouths i think if they win two out of these three they become like the second or third team that comes out of their mouth Yeah, I'd say that's probably about right.

Speaker 7 I think if they finish the season as the two seed, then everybody's...

Speaker 1 If they win the AFCs?

Speaker 7 Yeah, if they win the AFCs.

Speaker 7 It's going to be really interesting because between Buffalo and Miami coming down the stretch, I think homefield is like super, super important for those two teams, maybe more than any other team

Speaker 7 in the AFC.

Speaker 1 Because Kansas City still has the best homefield advantage.

Speaker 7 But Kansas City, low-key, on offense, they've been way better on the road than they have

Speaker 7 at home. I think like 10 points better on offense on the road.
So, yeah, Arrowhead is different in the playoffs. It's super loud.

Speaker 7 But I would say that it's more important to Miami and Buffalo than it is to Kansas City. City.

Speaker 1 Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 1 Okay.

Speaker 1 Before we get to the afternoon games, PFTU got a couple.

Speaker 1 Actually, let's do Chiefs Rams. Let's do Chiefs Rams.
Then we'll do

Speaker 1 a couple ads. And we'll also do Packers Eagles because it's about to...
Is it over? It's over. So Eagles 40,

Speaker 1 Packers, 33. That was a wild game.
Aaron Rodgers, I feel like he's done for the season, right?

Speaker 7 Well, the thumb, the report that came out from Ian Rapidport before today started was basically saying, like, you, you jackasses have no idea how tough Aaron Rodgers is.

Speaker 7 He's been playing through an injury that would have killed most other quarterbacks. His thumb has a weird type of avulsion fracture that doctors have never seen before.

Speaker 7 Most people would have it amputated, not Aaron Rodgers. He's been playing and he hasn't been complaining about it at all.

Speaker 7 Usually, when that type of report comes out, it means that a quarterback is about to get shut down for an extended period of time.

Speaker 1 Agreed. Yes.
And so,

Speaker 1 yeah, I think this is probably it for him. He's probably like, this was a nice exit ramp for him.
They're four and eight. They're not going to the playoffs.

Speaker 1 They're not eliminated, but they're not going to the playoffs. And now you basically can see what you got with Jordan Love.

Speaker 7 And Jordan, from what we saw from Jordan Love, you look pretty good tonight.

Speaker 1 Nah.

Speaker 7 No field away. I mean, some of his teammates have even said the last couple of weeks, like, that's a starter.
I'll tell you point blank, that's a starter. That's a starter.

Speaker 1 That's what they said. Yep.

Speaker 7 Oh, wow. So now Big Cat's caught between a rock and a hard place.
Like, should you root for Jordan Love to suck?

Speaker 7 Or should you root for Jordan Love Love to be so good that they move on from Aaron Rodgers this offseason?

Speaker 1 I want him. Because the way this season has gone.
No, I want him to be.

Speaker 7 You might want to start rooting for Aaron Rodgers to be okay.

Speaker 1 I want him to win games, not next week against the Paris, but win games, but

Speaker 1 in that middle ground of like, eh.

Speaker 7 This would actually be perfect.

Speaker 1 Because then I want them to commit to him and him and then be like, oh, whoops.

Speaker 7 This would be perfect, though, if Aaron Rodgers is out for maybe the rest of the season. Right now, the Packers look like shit.
Justin Fields, what if he comes back next week?

Speaker 7 And Justin Fields could beat Aaron Rodgers and the Packers, but they're taking that away from you by benching him.

Speaker 1 That's fine. I'd still be fine with just beating the Packers.
Okay. If Justin Fields could beat the Packers.
But yeah, I wasn't impressed by Jordan Love. Christian Watson did everything for him.
Okay.

Speaker 1 Yeah. I wasn't.
Were you impressed, Hank? You didn't get

Speaker 1 the win.

Speaker 3 Yeah, he had some nice zip on the ball. Dude was in there earlier.
I think they win this game.

Speaker 1 He did.

Speaker 7 Oh, really? He looked pretty good.

Speaker 1 So they win that game with Jordan Love.

Speaker 9 I think so.

Speaker 7 Okay. Max, how are you feeling about the Eagles' Eagles' brand new all-black uniforms?

Speaker 13 The uniforms looked great.

Speaker 7 I mean, put the camera on yourself, Max.

Speaker 1 Can you pass me another cough drop? I'm going to put it in my drink. Yeah.

Speaker 7 I mean, we're doing lean in the studio.

Speaker 13 Uniforms looks great. Special teams looks bad.
Defense looks bad.

Speaker 1 Special teams officially has me because

Speaker 1 Max said that to me a few weeks ago. He's like, our special team's not very good.
He's like, but we have good everything else.

Speaker 1 And I was like, yeah, but every team that has bad special teams, they just, they lose in a drastic way in the playoffs. It's like the Packers last year.

Speaker 1 Remember the 49ers against the Giants in the game when

Speaker 1 was it Kyle Williams fumbled like three times punts? Yep. Like, special teams will always rear its ugly head.

Speaker 7 Was that against the Giants or against the

Speaker 1 Saints? I want to say.

Speaker 1 Maybe it was against the Saints. I don't know.

Speaker 7 Huh. There are some crazy games against the Saints, too.
But yeah, I know what you're saying. Like, in the playoffs, those things, they tend to matter.

Speaker 1 It feels like special teams always, like, you can just say, yeah, it was against the Giants. You can say that

Speaker 1 special teams, oh, it's fine. And then there'll be a key moment in a playoff game and it will turn everything.
And you'd be like, well, that kind of sucks. We saw that coming.
Cody Parky, another

Speaker 1 point to that. You know, like, I knew all year that that was a big problem.
And it's like, oh, maybe we'll be fine. Nope.

Speaker 13 Yeah, I don't understand.

Speaker 13 We're the worst kick kickoff team in the league. They get to the 40

Speaker 13 three times a game. They're also kickoff.
And it makes such a difference. And it's just frustrating to see.
But win is a win, I guess. Jalen Hurts looked great.

Speaker 7 I would be worried about the defense. You don't.

Speaker 13 Worried about the defense.

Speaker 1 What about Jordan Davis?

Speaker 13 Jordan Davis is out.

Speaker 1 No, he's coming back, though.

Speaker 13 I know he's coming back. Gardner Johnson got hurt today.
We had blank and chip out there. I thought it was Rodrigo.

Speaker 1 Blank and chip.

Speaker 1 Quite shocking. He really played that much better than Rodrigo would have been.
Not to make any racial statements here, but I did say, is that a white safety? Because

Speaker 1 when was the last time you saw that? No, it's shocking, yeah. I mean, I guess Chris Conte for the Bears, that worked out well.

Speaker 7 We've had some other white safeties recently, too. Oh, Harrison Spencer.

Speaker 1 Yeah, yeah, yeah. He's a really good safety.

Speaker 9 He's a great safety.

Speaker 1 So you feel not so great?

Speaker 1 A wins a win. Okay, wins a win.
10-1. 10-1.

Speaker 13 I won't apologize for being 10-1.

Speaker 7 You realize, though, that every way that you respond to this means that you don't feel so good.

Speaker 1 Yeah, it was a very lukewarm.

Speaker 7 A wins to win is not like an I feel great.

Speaker 13 I mean, we scored 40 points, Jalen Hurts looked really good. AJ Brown has to stop fumbling the fucking football for no reason.
I don't understand why it keeps happening, but

Speaker 13 Jalen Hurts looked really good. 170 yards rushing or something.

Speaker 7 You can just tell yourself, like, you got to be able to win these types of games. A shootout.

Speaker 4 Yeah, and we did.

Speaker 1 So it's a good win. Wins a win.
Wins a win. Okay.

Speaker 1 All right. Next up,

Speaker 1 let's do Rams, Chiefs Rams. The game that I've never watched a game where I was like, we all know what the outcome is going to be.

Speaker 1 It's actually very similar to the Saints Broncos last year when they had to start.

Speaker 1 Who is that guy? Um Book? No, no, no, no. When Saints Broncos.
When the Saints went to the Broncos, the Broncos had to start the guy who had never thrown a pass.

Speaker 7 Oh, they started the wide receiver, Tamil Huntington?

Speaker 1 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 1 Bryce Perkins is better than that, but there was no way Bryce Perkins was with this Rams team with Cooper Cup out, Allen Robinson out, Matthew Stafford out, going to Arrowhead and winning that game.

Speaker 1 Like the Chiefs, it felt like they were just playing with their food. They weren't like converting for touchdowns.

Speaker 1 They kind of played not their best game, and it was never even close to endowment.

Speaker 7 Yeah, I actually think that even if it wasn't Bryce Perkins playing this game, if it was Matt Stafford, I think that the Chiefs probably beat him a little bit more.

Speaker 1 Yeah, probably.

Speaker 7 Because in this one,

Speaker 7 it's like very natural for a team to be like, oh, Bryce Perkins is coming into town. The Rams are so banged up.
Okay, yeah, we're the Chiefs. We like to fuck around anyways.

Speaker 7 And so that's when you get this game, which was actually, it was closer than it looked in the fourth quarter. Yeah.

Speaker 7 Like, it wasn't, it was completely out of reach, but it wasn't, if you know what I'm saying. Like, the fact that it was this Rams team playing made it completely out of reach.

Speaker 7 But by the score, it wasn't...

Speaker 7 It wasn't like a blowout like you thought it would be. And the Chiefs right now, they don't score at home as much.

Speaker 7 They are, however, 26-0 in their last 26 games in November and December, which that's a pattern.

Speaker 7 They just don't lose. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Yeah, they just don't lose. And

Speaker 1 the key highlight from this game was Sean McVay got jacked up. Yep.
That was pretty cool.

Speaker 7 Yeah, he got shoulder to the jaw.

Speaker 1 And

Speaker 1 I did have a moment where when I was taking notes before the show, I just started giggling to myself how awesome, like, it wasn't awesome that Jacked Up exists, but for anyone out there who didn't get to watch jacked up it was awesome they just showed like people getting concussed every week and then tie and boom would just yell jacked up you just got jacked up and like it was even in the moment we're like whoa that's pretty fucked up but also when they yelled jacked up you're like that was awesome it got you jacked up yeah when you were watching it was it was a espn highlight monday night highlight of every concussion yeah so it's crazy to say what they would do they would show actually like the players getting hit and then not being able to get up off the ground and then getting up and like stumbling and falling down on the way to the sideline and they would just scream jacked up yeah and then everybody would laugh did they do tweety birds did i make that up i think they did they might have had some like sound effects yeah where it's like oh he's dizzy yeah and everybody knew when they were doing it like this is kind of fucked up it's so fucking funny to think about like yeah it's it's changed

Speaker 7 and then the concussion lawsuit came and the nfl was like hey guys uh would you mind instead of saying jacked up can you just say like come on, man.

Speaker 1 Come on, man.

Speaker 7 In the same type of voice. And so that's how, that's the evolution of a Monday Night Countdown segment.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 I mean, it was just all.

Speaker 1 Yeah. He was, I watched it.
I was like, jacked up. That was fucking sick.

Speaker 1 Hold on.

Speaker 1 I'm going to pull it up real quick. I just want to see, is Susie Colbert?

Speaker 14 Off of the punk return.

Speaker 1 David Allen going to be catching the ball.

Speaker 14 Ike Taylor going to be coming out right down the gun barrel. David Allen looking down the gun barrel.
You're going to get his view of things right there.

Speaker 14 Oh my David Allen got jacked up.

Speaker 1 He's concussed.

Speaker 1 He's 100% concussed. He's just got jacked up.
Oh man. All right.
So that was pretty much the whole game. Yep.
That's all I had.

Speaker 7 Sean McVay legitimately might have had a concussion.

Speaker 1 Yeah, no, I think so.

Speaker 7 I don't know if there's, like, do they do tests on coaches for those types of situations? He didn't go into the tent.

Speaker 1 It would have been nice.

Speaker 7 He might be in protocol.

Speaker 1 Yeah. I mean, the way they were just running the ball for no yards over and over, he might have been concussed.

Speaker 7 You got to have, where's your holdback coach on that one? Yeah. That's what you got to have.
Head on a swivel.

Speaker 1 You have to have your head on a swivel. The Rams, by the way, are going for the worst win percentage of a Super Bowl champ.

Speaker 7 Worst hangover of all time.

Speaker 1 So the Broncos after John L. Way retired went 6-10.
And then the other one was the 49ers after they won, I think, in 82. 83 was a strike year, so that doesn't really count.

Speaker 1 So

Speaker 1 they are a really bad team. And it fell apart very quickly.

Speaker 1 Aaron Donald's still good, though. Yeah, but

Speaker 7 you've got some nice pieces on the team.

Speaker 7 But I never blame a team that deals with a Super Bowl hangover because winning the Super Bowl probably kicks ass so much.

Speaker 7 And you probably just have a kick-ass summer and you do a lot of cool-ass shit, and then you come back and you're like, oh, fuck, I don't want to go back to work.

Speaker 7 I just had a great summer because I'm a fucking Super Bowl champion. I just partied my dick off.
And then you get back to work and you're like, oh, this sucks shit.

Speaker 7 And then you have to go out on Sundays and play contact football, get hurt and stuff. And you're like, fuck that.
I'm a Super Bowl champion. I don't have to deal with this shit.
Yes.

Speaker 7 I completely understand that mindset.

Speaker 1 It also probably is like kind of nice for them to be able to just say right now, like, hey, let's book our travel for January. Yeah.
You know what I mean? They're like, hey, honey, like, we're.

Speaker 1 We're good to go. January 10th, we're good to go.

Speaker 7 Yeah, you worked like time and a half last season. You worked an extra month and a half almost.
It's good for you to be able to take January off.

Speaker 1 Yeah, just like we're ready to go. Okay.

Speaker 15 Whether I'm hosting game day at my place or taking my talents to the tailgate, Boarshead is my go-to for a spread that's as exciting as the game itself. Their platters are a hit every time.

Speaker 15 They've got everything you need to keep your guests coming back for more. And if you want to take it up a notch, grab a few dips.

Speaker 15 My personal favorite, the Blazing Buffalo Chicken, Hummus, or even one of their charcuterie collections for game-changing flavor.

Speaker 15 Boarshead helps me elevate my entertaining every time, whether it's for a tailgate or a home gating celebration.

Speaker 15 To upgrade your spread, visit your local Boarshead deli for platter options or build your own to make it perfect for your crowd. Boarshead, committed to craft since 1905.

Speaker 1 We drove 1700 miles of old Highway 61, the whole country top to bottom, just to prove one thing. Comfort food can make anywhere home.

Speaker 1 Crave New World makes the classics you grew up with cleaned up for right now. High protein, no fake stuff, no shortcuts.

Speaker 1 Bison meatloaf, chicken enchiladas, turkey lasagna, the kind of meals that taste like Saturday night, even on a Tuesday. Crave New World.
Find it in Kroger Isles this October.

Speaker 1 The road trip might be over, but dinner's just getting good. Okay,

Speaker 1 last three games. Niners, 13, Saints, 0.

Speaker 1 I'm so sick of the fucking New Orleans Saints. We say it every week, but this is a game that the Saints could have won if they started anyone besides Andy Dalton.

Speaker 7 Yeah, it sucks. It sucks.
That's just what they're going to do. And the 49ers' defense,

Speaker 1 they're awesome.

Speaker 7 They're outstanding.

Speaker 7 They're first in points per game, yards per game, rush yards per game, yards per rush, first downs per game, and pass touchdowns per game, which that's a lot of things to be number one in.

Speaker 7 And I'm sure that if Jameis had played, they probably would have done some fucked up stuff to Jameis Winston. It would have been hilarious, but it would have been a great game to watch.

Speaker 7 And it is disgusting. I don't know what Jameis has done to Dennis Allen's family, why he hates him so much.

Speaker 1 Get Andy out of here.

Speaker 7 But

Speaker 7 it's painful to watch the Saints right now. And this is the first time that they've been shut out since 2001.

Speaker 1 Against the 49ers in week 17. Yeah.

Speaker 7 Actually, all three of their last three shutouts were against the 49ers.

Speaker 1 Yeah, I looked it up.

Speaker 1 That game was Jeff Garcia, Aaron Brooks. Aaron Brooks was 21 21 for 33, 119 yards, zero touchdowns, four interceptions.
Yikes.

Speaker 1 The Niners' defense is electric. They have given up zero points

Speaker 1 in the second half of the last four games. That's hard to do.
Their offense looks sluggish today. That was like the part where the Saints' defense actually played well.

Speaker 1 So you have to be, if you're on the Saints defense, like, dude, just let's do something else.

Speaker 7 Yeah, you know what, though?

Speaker 7 I saw Jimmy G took a few shots today and bounced back from him. He He didn't look great all the time.

Speaker 7 He had 222 yards. These numbers are good, though, too.
Yeah, 222 yards, one touchdown,

Speaker 7 and he only took one official sack. But he got knocked around a little bit.
And so remember how Billy was talking about Zach Wilson being too good-looking to not be tough?

Speaker 7 I think Jimmy Garoppolo is tough enough to be that good-looking. Yeah.
I think that's why his teammates like him.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 7 He's pretty tough. He's literally pretty tough.

Speaker 1 He is pretty tough. Yeah.
Yeah. But yeah, this game, it was a boring game in the fact that the Niners' defense just suffocated them.

Speaker 1 And the Saints, we get to watch the Saints on Monday Night Football.

Speaker 7 And that one's not going to be flex. Jake?

Speaker 4 Monday Night Football, Untouchable.

Speaker 1 Untouchables.

Speaker 7 Did we make an exception?

Speaker 4 I wish.

Speaker 7 If it's Jameis, that would be amazing. We should start a change.org petition.
Start Jameis on Monday Night Football.

Speaker 1 I'm so excited.

Speaker 7 Dude, for America.

Speaker 1 Yeah. 49ers Dolphins next week is going to rule.
Who's lining anyway?

Speaker 7 Where's it at?

Speaker 1 It's in San Francisco. I'm going to say, oh, this is going to be tough.

Speaker 7 I think it's going to be...

Speaker 7 I think it might be a pick'em.

Speaker 1 I was going to say

Speaker 1 Niners minus two and a half.

Speaker 3 I was going to say Dolphins minus two.

Speaker 1 Oh. What's in the map?

Speaker 1 Our power ratings do not line up, guys.

Speaker 7 Niners minus three and a half.

Speaker 1 Oh, wow. Wow.

Speaker 1 I was going to go three, but I was like, I feel like

Speaker 1 they would have gobbled that up.

Speaker 9 The thing is, with the Niners.

Speaker 1 Yeah, that does, Hank. You're on the wrong side of the zero.

Speaker 7 So with the Niners, their record hasn't looked good recently.

Speaker 1 Right, but they're an incredible

Speaker 1 talent.

Speaker 7 I know, the numbers have looked bad, but they've also unmistakably

Speaker 7 been trending upwards.

Speaker 1 And

Speaker 1 they now are in first in the NFC West, which we all kind of figured they were going to be the team that wins the NFC West.

Speaker 1 We'll talk about the Seahawks in a couple of games, but this is where the Niners,

Speaker 1 if they are what we think they are,

Speaker 7 which we do think they are. I think that they are who we thought that they were.

Speaker 1 If they are what we think they are, and we do think that they are that.

Speaker 7 Well, because we, so flash backwards, like three weeks, I was saying to myself, in a few weeks, they will be where I thought that they would be. Right.

Speaker 7 And now they are where we thought that they would be.

Speaker 1 They will win the NFC West. They'll have a home playoff game, and they will be the team.
And I'm speaking for Max here. He can speak up.

Speaker 1 I think they will be the team that all Cowboys, Eagles, Vikings fans will say,

Speaker 1 no, thank you. Don't want to play that team.
They don't want to play that team. Is that fair to say, Max?

Speaker 13 Yeah, 100%.

Speaker 13 I think they're by far the scariest team.

Speaker 1 They are the team that everyone's going to be like, we don't want to do that. Now,

Speaker 1 you can sell yourself on, like, well, maybe you can get to Jimmy G, but yeah, they have so much talent. So much fucking talent.
And yeah, that Dolphins Niners game. I'm jacked up for that.

Speaker 7 That's going to be a good one.

Speaker 1 They should have flexed it.

Speaker 4 And it's the late slate with Chiefs Bengals.

Speaker 1 Whoa.

Speaker 7 That's so much revenge going on.

Speaker 1 We got to bring our hard hats on Sunday, boys. That's a lot of good late football.
We haven't had a late slate in a long time, but we've had to focus.

Speaker 7 Everything's going to be great about that.

Speaker 4 End the night with Colts Cowboys.

Speaker 1 Boo. Boo.
Should have been flexed. Should have been flexed.
You should have listened to Jake. Should have been flexed.

Speaker 1 Okay.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 Saints, I don't just.

Speaker 1 Fuck off. Fuck off.
Honestly.

Speaker 7 Perspectively, fuck off. Kindly fuck off.

Speaker 1 If they had won this game, it was a tall task to win this game, but the Saints are it's got to be maddening to be a Saints fan this year because they have these games where their defense plays well and they can't put together an entire team you know game and then everyone else in their division loses yeah and it's just like you could have won this game and you would have been tied for first place.

Speaker 7 Also, Saints, you have Taysom Hill, you have Alvin Kamara, you've got Chris Olave, who's awesome.

Speaker 7 You've got, oh, yeah, you remember Jarvis Landry?

Speaker 1 Kevin White. You remember him? Kevin White.

Speaker 7 You got him. You have Kevin White.
I don't think he was active today. That's okay.

Speaker 7 It's actually really fucked up.

Speaker 1 When he gets catches, the ESPN doesn't even put it up. Like, they don't have his picture.

Speaker 7 Okay, that's what it is.

Speaker 1 Yeah, it's really fucked up.

Speaker 7 That's messed up.

Speaker 7 You've got great talent. You've got fun guys to watch.
Yeah. All it takes.
Be fun.

Speaker 1 All it takes is the simplest simplest change of all time we need like the most obvious change of all time dennis allen we need we need to go down to new orleans and do the gordon bombay and just put out a beach ball all right like look how fun this is

Speaker 7 we just i think we've been too nice to dennis allen yeah we need to start like physically threatening him your name's dennis i'm not saying that i'm gonna beat the shit out of dennis allen but if i have to watch andy dalton for the rest of the season

Speaker 7 i'm gonna i'm gonna punch him yeah i i'm gonna punch i'm gonna i'm gonna find dennis allen i'm gonna punch him yeah not Not in his face. I'm gonna give him like a Charlie horse.
What's the old man?

Speaker 7 You're gonna physically assault Dennis Allen.

Speaker 1 Never trust a man with two first names. Yeah.

Speaker 1 I mean, Dennis and Allen are pervert names.

Speaker 7 Dennis and Allen, yeah, it's either that or like shitty lawyer names.

Speaker 1 Yeah, don't know. Dennis Allen, we don't like you.
Those are uncles. Yeah.
Two uncles. You're worse than Nathaniel Hackett.
And that's the meanest thing I could say about anyone.

Speaker 1 I'm going to fucking punch you.

Speaker 1 All right. Chargers, Cardinals.
Chargers 25. Cardinals 24.

Speaker 1 This was actually similar to the Browns-Bucs game. The Cardinals are up 24-17,

Speaker 1 and

Speaker 1 there was 10 minutes left in the fourth quarter. They go three and out, they punt, Chargers can't do anything.
They go three and out, they punt, Chargers can't do anything.

Speaker 1 They go three and out, they punt, Chargers score a touchdown. It was basically just building up to, like, eventually Justin Herbert will score a touchdown.

Speaker 1 And then

Speaker 1 Brandon Staley goes for two to win the game in regulation, which I, like, that had nothing to do with analytics. That was like, we, they keep punting to us and we can't score.

Speaker 1 We've got to just end it right now. Yeah.
So, I, yeah, I mean, the Chargers, like, that was a game the Chargers usually lose, but the Cardinals are worse than the Chargers. Yeah, and,

Speaker 1 like, shoot themselves in the foot more than the Chargers.

Speaker 7 It was very confusing looking up at the television when this game was being played at the same time as the Chiefs were playing against the Rams because, from a color perspective, it was all blue and red all across my television.

Speaker 7 Yeah. And so I kept mistaking, this is what, like, the score of this game, which ended up being, what, 25, 24? That felt like what I would expect out of a Rams Chiefs game.
Yes.

Speaker 7 Just from a points perspective.

Speaker 7 It was, I think, exactly what I thought would happen to these Cardinals and that they always find new and innovative ways to lose.

Speaker 7 They're now 12, 27, and 1 at home since 2018. That's crazy.
Which is, that's nuts. Like, I'll say it again: 12, 27, and 1 at home since 2018.

Speaker 7 They have no home field advantage to speak of. I think they're trying to, like, open and close the window to the stadium.
Like, you're not Jim Merce.

Speaker 1 Cortez was there.

Speaker 7 Cortez was there. If you're a Cardinals fan, you've got to be so upset just knowing that Kyler Murray, and to his credit, Kyler didn't play poorly all day today.
No, he didn't.

Speaker 7 He did have that one bad interception on fourth and one,

Speaker 7 and everybody was like, why aren't you handing the ball to James Conner? Throws an interception, and they asked him about it after the game.

Speaker 7 Kyler Murray, to his credit, he said, schematically, we were kind of fucked on that play. So, yeah.
So, schematic, from a scheme point of view,

Speaker 7 you shouldn't have thrown that interception.

Speaker 1 I feel like Cliff Kingsbury leads the league in third and ones, fourth and ones, throw it deep. Like, he just doesn't want to run the ball.

Speaker 7 Yeah, and it turns out a steroid boy, DeAndre Hopkins, is not taking good enough steroids. He didn't look that more today.

Speaker 1 He needs more steroids. Cliff Kingsbury also was asked after if he's worried about his job because the Cardinals are in a bye week, and he just replied, I'm not.
Okay. So he should be.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 But maybe he's not. But if you're

Speaker 7 Cliff Kingsbury, why would you ever have to be worried about a job?

Speaker 1 Well, he's also probably like, I'm not worried because if they fire me, I don't care.

Speaker 1 I'm still Cliff Kingsbury.

Speaker 7 Someone's going to hire me next week.

Speaker 1 Yeah, I'll probably get the Colorado job or a Supreme Court justice.

Speaker 7 Yeah, right.

Speaker 1 I made a lot of money, and I'm Cliff Kingsbury.

Speaker 7 Yeah, he'll be okay.

Speaker 1 Yeah. Okay.

Speaker 16 Man, I'll tell you what. When you're hungry out there, you start acting like a rookie quarterback in his first game, making bad decisions, messing up the basics, being all out of sorts.

Speaker 16 That's where Snickers comes in, man. That thing is packed.
Roasted peanuts, nugget, caramel, milk chocolate. It's like the MVP of candy bars.

Speaker 16 And when you bite into it, boom, it sorts you out, gets your head back in the game of life, satisfying your hunger. Remember this: Snickers handles your hunger so you can handle everything else.

Speaker 16 Snickers satisfies, man. That's a winning play.

Speaker 1 Raiders, Seahawks, very fun game, and holy shit, Josh Jacobs. Josh Jacobs had 303 yards.
He was insane. 229 yards running, two touchdowns, six catches for 74 yards.

Speaker 1 The Raiders now have won back-to-back, walk-off, overtime games. It's the only way they can win games.

Speaker 7 Fun stat about Derek Carr, he's 9-1 in overtime.

Speaker 1 Yeah, he's missing over overtime.

Speaker 7 So it was a great handoff that he gave to Josh Jacobs, who then ran, what, 82 yards? Yeah. It was perfectly executed.

Speaker 1 And the Seahawks, it feels like the Seahawks and the Giants, those are the two teams you'd circle and be like, they might run out of gas. Yeah, I mean, it's fun.

Speaker 7 The whole Geno Smith has been, it's been incredible. It's been amazing to watch.
Nobody saw this Geno Smith happening this year, but I think everyone's been waiting for Geno Smith to write back.

Speaker 6 Yeah. He's starting.

Speaker 1 He's starting right back.

Speaker 1 They do have, I looked at their schedule because I was like, I kind of want the Seahawks to make the playoffs.

Speaker 1 They play the Rams twice, so that's good. And they also play the Panthers and the Jets at home.
I don't know if they split that and they beat the Rams twice. They're a 10-win team.
Maybe.

Speaker 1 I would like them to make the playoffs. It could happen.
I would like them to make the playoffs just because of the Russell Wilson story.

Speaker 7 No, I'm rooting against them just because they seem like the biggest competition to all four NFCs.

Speaker 1 That's what he's getting in? That's true.

Speaker 7 But, yes, it would be very fun for Russell Wilson purposes to see them make the playoffs. Yes.
And just like, you know, the best revenge is living well. This would be incredible revenge for you.

Speaker 1 This would be the best revenge. And the Raiders are just,

Speaker 1 I'll say this. If the Raiders are going to just play fun games, I'm cool with that.

Speaker 1 Yeah,

Speaker 7 they've been depressing before this.

Speaker 10 Now,

Speaker 7 what was it about the Raiders' decision-making that they've gotten rid of all their first-round picks, right, from the last six years?

Speaker 10 Yeah.

Speaker 7 No longer with the team. The one good guy that you've drafted,

Speaker 7 you don't give the fifth year to. And Josh Jacobs is an awesome running back.
He's always been good.

Speaker 7 He's been a little bit banged up in the past, but when he's been healthy, he's been an elite running back. And they're not giving him the fifth year.

Speaker 7 And it feels like this whole season has been like a Josh Jacobs giant middle finger fuck you to the Raiders for not paying him. Yes.

Speaker 7 Did Mike Mayok run out of coupons?

Speaker 7 Why did they not elect to give this guy the fifth year last year?

Speaker 1 It makes no sense. He had a slow start.
to the season, and then since then, he's just been ripping off 100-yard games.

Speaker 1 He had a couple couple under 100-yard games, but it's basically as Josh Jacob goes, the Raiders go, and when he's awesome, they win games. And yeah, I don't understand it either.

Speaker 1 Why wouldn't you?

Speaker 7 The only thing I can think of is because they're broke. It's also like

Speaker 1 isn't the running back the one guy, like the one position you want to give the fifth year to, and then not have to give him a huge contract.

Speaker 7 Huge contract, exactly. So

Speaker 7 I don't understand it. It's like me, verbal me, me in college, handshake, Raiders, and Josh Jacob regret not taking that fifth year.
Because like, this is a no-brainer to end all no-brainers.

Speaker 1 He's awesome. He's awesome.
And yeah,

Speaker 7 it's like a franchise tag. It's like a mini-franchise tag that you could give him.

Speaker 1 Yeah, yeah, it makes no sense. All right, so let's do a little Thanksgiving day.
We're running, my voice is running out.

Speaker 1 I feel like shit, but Thanksgiving,

Speaker 1 Bills.

Speaker 1 I don't know. I mean, here's one thing I'll throw out there.
I don't know why it's become, maybe it's because we're biased and we're very open with our bias that we love Josh Allen.

Speaker 1 He's our best friend. We love him.
But I had a lot of people tweeting me being like, you guys overrate this guy.

Speaker 1 He's not that good. It's like, if Josh Allen's not that good, then no one is good.
Well, I think literally no quarterback is good.

Speaker 7 For the most part, I've narrowed it down. If you are still a Josh Allen hater, you're either a Chiefs fan and you're pissed off because

Speaker 1 I Love Josh Allen Patrick Mahomes is better than Josh Allen.

Speaker 7 They're both great. There you go.
They're both great.

Speaker 1 And I'm fine with saying that. I don't think Josh Allen would be upset.
Patrick Mahomes is on another planet.

Speaker 7 So you're either a Chiefs fan. I've noticed some Bengals fans are also doing that because they're like our guy.
I'd rather have our guy, Joe, than your guy, Josh Alley.

Speaker 1 Yeah, okay, okay.

Speaker 7 And so I understand where that's coming from a little bit, but I don't think that any, besides fans of those two teams, I don't really. Patriots fans.

Speaker 7 Patriots fans, I think they respect the hell out of Josh Allen.

Speaker 1 Okay, all right.

Speaker 1 Yeah, I was throwing that out there. You, okay.
Jets fans, maybe no, they beat them.

Speaker 7 Well, no, because then you just wish that you had your own Josh Allen for the Jets.

Speaker 3 We beat Josh when Brady, you know, the Patriots were the better team, and then now it's kind of his, it's his division, right?

Speaker 1 But I just, I was very confused why people were saying this. Like, and then he made that laser throw to win the game, and it was like that was the nastiest thing.
That's Josh Allen.

Speaker 7 Oh, it's also Vikings fans that get pissed off that we don't give Kirk enough.

Speaker 1 Oh, yeah.

Speaker 7 Because they think that, like, our praise is finite, and every time we praise Josh Allen, like every sentence we say, that's praise that could be better spent adding to Kirk Cousins.

Speaker 1 And Vikings fans do get upset. Like when the Bills won that game, I was like, that was a tough.

Speaker 1 The Lions are scrappy. The Bills just won two games in four days when they basically didn't have a home.

Speaker 1 Credit to them. That's hard to do.
And they're like, oh, and the Vikings do it. You don't give them credit.
And it's like, listen, the Vikings are a good team.

Speaker 1 Josh Allen's ceiling, Kirk Cousins' ceiling. There's a big difference.
That's how I view the teams.

Speaker 1 Josh Allen can win you a Super Bowl. Kirk Cousins cannot.

Speaker 7 That throw that Josh Allen made was just, he's the only quarterback I think that can make that. Yeah.
I don't think Patrick Mahomes can make that throw. It's not a takeaway from Patrick Mahomes.

Speaker 7 He does other things that Josh Allen doesn't do that's super impressive on its own. But Josh.

Speaker 1 No, no, Josh Allen's like pure arm shot.

Speaker 7 Josh is the only guy that I could see making that throw. And to be honest with you, that's one of the throws that, like, a couple weeks ago when his elbow was was 100%, like, he wouldn't make that.

Speaker 7 It would get intercepted. Right.
It would be a disastrous throw. Yeah.

Speaker 1 So that was my big takeaway from that game. The Cowboys, shout out the Giants.
All-time, all-time backdoor cover. Like, they just never gave up.

Speaker 1 I love that from them. Dable freaking out.
It was also the over.

Speaker 7 It was the over.

Speaker 1 The over, yeah, and the over.

Speaker 3 The overs club, which we hit easily. That probably had, I mean, I know it happened in my family.

Speaker 3 It was right at that time, too, where like the families are all still together, and there's definitely a lot of people, like AWLs, that were rooting for the Giants to cover the spread or the over,

Speaker 1 where

Speaker 3 aunts and uncles are probably like, what? This game's over.

Speaker 1 Why is this happening? Why are you celebrating like this? Thankfully, I've gotten to a point in life where I can just say out loud, like I just told everyone out loud.

Speaker 1 I was like, hey, I have, we're trying to score 145 points today. That's number one.
And then I was like, and I have the Giants, so this is important. And everyone's like, okay, cool.
Like, they know.

Speaker 1 Like, I'm gambling today. It's my holiday.

Speaker 7 We tried to get this. We tried to get the Bills Lions game turned on on one of the TVs in Qatar where they were broadcasting all the World Cup games.

Speaker 7 They didn't understand why American football was so important on Thanksgiving.

Speaker 7 It was difficult trying to track down a pirated stream that worked over there. Yeah.
Because Qatari's not, they're not huge NFL fans yet. Yet.
We're converting them, but it's going to take a while.

Speaker 1 And then your game, Hank. Patriots Vikings.
Vikings deserve credit. That was a good win for them.
Kirk Cousins, that was probably Kirk Cousins' best game of the season.

Speaker 1 He was pretty much lights out the entire game. I think he might have had one pick, but he was very, very good the entire game.

Speaker 1 Mac Jones looked okay.

Speaker 1 He actually looked better than okay. He looked good.
He was good.

Speaker 1 It was more of the Patriots just did the things that you never expect out of a Belichick team, special teams and dumb penalties.

Speaker 3 I mean, it was special teams. It was the kickoff return touchdown, which there was probably a holding penalty that they didn't call.
I'm not going to blame the refs.

Speaker 3 But then the game really ended when they got the running into the kicker third and five. Vikings got the ball back scored.
Game was pretty much over.

Speaker 1 What about the Hunter Henry catch?

Speaker 1 That was a total like live and die. That was a touchdown.
That was the Jesse James catch.

Speaker 3 And

Speaker 3 everyone was putting up the Kelsey clip from earlier in the year where it was like the same thing. And his was...

Speaker 1 I think that was... The guy, the

Speaker 3 NBC, whoever the ref correspondent for that day was, I wasn't really familiar with him. Tyr McCauley.
He's on the list.

Speaker 1 Oh, he was

Speaker 1 adamant.

Speaker 3 He was watching the film where you don't even see it hit the ground. He's like, nope, hits the ground.
Clearly, not a touchdown.

Speaker 3 But the video that they were showing just completely disregarded it.

Speaker 1 It was a touchdown. It was a touchdown.
It absolutely was a touchdown. I thought Jesse James was a touchdown, too.

Speaker 1 You got the benefit off that one, the Steelers Patriots game. But yeah,

Speaker 1 that was one of those ones. It was actually kind of like the DK Metcalf one.
It's like, okay, yeah, if we slow it down

Speaker 1 to the nth degree, yeah, I guess it's not, but it's a touchdown.

Speaker 3 Also, the CeeDee Lamb one from earlier in the Cowboys game, that made even less sense.

Speaker 1 Yeah, it was a touchdown. It should have been a touchdown.
I agree. I completely agree.

Speaker 7 I just woke up the next day because that game started at about 5 a.m.

Speaker 7 I tried to stay up to watch it, and I woke up, and the first thing that I saw was Patriots fans highlighting the rulebook and showing why that should have been a catch.

Speaker 7 And to their credit, the NFL's explanation of it was he didn't survive the ground. Surviving the ground hasn't been in the rule book for like

Speaker 1 four years. Yeah, it's

Speaker 7 about surviving the ground, like getting up from the ground, all that stuff.

Speaker 1 That makes no sense. That was a tough shit.

Speaker 3 And the guy was adamantly that Terry's on. Terry's on my list.

Speaker 7 Who else is on the list?

Speaker 1 It's a lot. Yeah, there's a lot.

Speaker 9 Walk me through just the starting point.

Speaker 3 I mean, Floriel's probably at the top.

Speaker 1 Terry, Dungie,

Speaker 3 Tony.

Speaker 1 PFT? Tony Grammar.

Speaker 1 Okay.

Speaker 1 This PFT.

Speaker 1 Both father.

Speaker 7 I'm not on the list. I'm a Patriot.
Remember, I started the Do Your Pod fiction?

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 3 Reggie Miller.

Speaker 1 Reggie Miller. I just can't stand him.
Oh, okay. I like that.
Just throw that in there.

Speaker 7 The city of Philadelphia.

Speaker 1 It was a good day of Thanksgiving football, though. A lot of points.
It was an exciting game.

Speaker 3 I mean, going from that Jets game and being like, this is going to be another stinker probably. Kirk Cousins primetime.
Last week, it was the ugliest game of all time.

Speaker 3 We couldn't even score a touchdown until the last minute. It was a very enjoyable Thanksgiving evening up until the fact that we lost.

Speaker 1 And

Speaker 1 I was tracking the Overs Club all day, and I was like, we're just going to need a Mac Jones versus Kirk Cousins shootout. And then it happened.

Speaker 7 It's like, this fucking rules. The other takeaway is that I think Micah Parsons, when he's activated, is like the best defensive player in the NFL.

Speaker 3 Yeah. Oh, yeah.

Speaker 1 Oh, yeah.

Speaker 7 When they turn him loose

Speaker 7 and they just say, okay, Micah, your assignment is to just go out there and fuck everything up. He might be the best football player.

Speaker 1 He's incredible.

Speaker 3 And no, I mean, Jared fights harder than anyone.

Speaker 3 He's in the same game every week.

Speaker 7 Well, he did what he had to do. And I think that...
Every single week for the last two years.

Speaker 7 What Dan Campbell did at the end of the game, people were crushing him for it, for not using his timeouts.

Speaker 7 But his logic was kind of sound, which was, I don't want to give Josh Allen any time to win this game.

Speaker 9 Yeah.

Speaker 7 He just, who could have imagined that Josh Allen could have done what he did in that? What was it, like 13 seconds, 12 seconds? It didn't make any sense. Don't say 13.
12 seconds.

Speaker 7 It was like 12 seconds. It was more.

Speaker 1 Yeah, it was like 30.

Speaker 7 Was it? Yeah. It was that many? Yeah.

Speaker 3 Maybe it was different than the Qatarian.

Speaker 7 It was. The conversion rate.

Speaker 6 The conversion rate.

Speaker 7 Well, it was actually

Speaker 7 300 years ago in Qatar

Speaker 7 based on some of the laws that they hey.

Speaker 17 This is Rhea from Chicks in the Office. And this season, we're heading home for the holidays with Abercrombie and Fitch.
We all know our calendars are about to get chaotic.

Speaker 17 Keep the chaos cute this season in Abercrombie. Shop their new holiday outfits in the app online or in stores.

Speaker 1 Jake.

Speaker 4 Yes, this was sent in from Billy. Hope you get well soon, Billy.

Speaker 10 Number one: Thaddeus Longmore.

Speaker 4 He's a middle schooler born without arms and plays tackle football.

Speaker 1 Okay. Oh, wow.

Speaker 7 It's impressive. Yeah.
That's a good tough point. Billy's put waste.

Speaker 1 Probably

Speaker 7 Not quarterback eck.

Speaker 1 Or ride receiver. I think he's a bad guy.

Speaker 1 Yeah, play defense. He blocks.
Does he?

Speaker 1 Well,

Speaker 7 it's about your face.

Speaker 1 Did you see my dickhead?

Speaker 4 Football is very far from being a tight end blocking and feeling like a part of the team.

Speaker 3 Okay. This is unprecedented.
He's a blocker.

Speaker 7 No, me and Big Cat both peed during the Dungeon ⁇ Dragons episode.

Speaker 1 Yeah, that's true.

Speaker 4 Number two, Devin Danielson, defensive lineman from Pittsburgh.

Speaker 4 He banged his head against his helmet.

Speaker 1 I saw that. That was awesome.
And all his

Speaker 1 bench's reaction was incredibly flowing. Yeah.

Speaker 4 Billy's comments, self-explanatory. Okay.
Number three, Nick Sabin

Speaker 4 in his post-game press conference. He got hit in the middle of the game, I believe.

Speaker 1 He had a little

Speaker 4 stuff on his cheek. He said, I took one of the hardest hits in the whole game, and unlike some of our players, I didn't have to go to the medical tent.
They don't make him like they used to.

Speaker 7 Yeah. Anytime somebody that old starts to bleed, though, I just think that this guy could possibly die.

Speaker 1 Agreed.

Speaker 4 And lastly, we have the Montana mascot. Ran into goalpost.

Speaker 1 Okay.

Speaker 3 That Montana game,

Speaker 3 I was driving home. I got back late and I just turned it on.
The Montana crowd is one of the most electric crowds I've ever seen.

Speaker 7 Montana's a good fit.

Speaker 1 They were down like 24 points.

Speaker 3 I think I turned it on. It was right in the middle of the comeback.
They were going. It was 12.30.
I turned it on because I was just trying to watch Sports Center and put the highlights from the day.

Speaker 1 That's too...

Speaker 1 Oh, only a bottle and a half. I feel like Jake could see my dick, by the way, through his periphery.
Yeah, no, I could tell Jake could totally see my dick.

Speaker 7 You like what you saw?

Speaker 1 No, I didn't see it.

Speaker 3 Shout out to the Montana fans. I turned the game on trying to watch highlights, and it was like one of the most raucous atmospheres I've ever seen.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 7 It is a great football state. And I think they've got one of those stadiums that just has mountains in the background.

Speaker 7 And anytime there's mountains behind anything, I will watch it. I will love it.

Speaker 3 Yeah, it's kind of like Bill's Mafia, too. They're all bundled up, but just going fucking ape shit.
Yeah, nuts, yeah.

Speaker 7 Yeah, they're the Western equivalent of Buffalo for sure.

Speaker 1 I just got really scared because I was like, oh no, I'm pissing blood, but I forgot that we put

Speaker 7 lean in there, yeah.

Speaker 1 We cough drop cough drops in the bottom of our bottles. All right, I'm all good.
Thank you, Jake and Billy, football guy of the week.

Speaker 7 Who are you voting for, Jake?

Speaker 4 It's got to be Thaddeus Longmore.

Speaker 7 Oh, the guy with no arms?

Speaker 1 Yeah. Yep.

Speaker 3 I need to see some stats.

Speaker 7 Yeah, stats. You want to see stats? I'll show you.

Speaker 1 Honey pancakes?

Speaker 1 You're going to show him a video? All right, I'll do it.

Speaker 7 What if he's a kicker?

Speaker 1 Oh, yeah. He'd be an incredible kicker.
Oh, he blocks. Oh.

Speaker 1 I'll show you guys.

Speaker 7 What if Billy just got duped? What if Billy made this up?

Speaker 1 Well,

Speaker 1 we'll see. Yeah.
I mean, good for him. It has a fucking incredible story.
Great name. Yeah.
Great name. Thaddeus Longmore.
That's a great name.

Speaker 1 A strong name.

Speaker 7 I'm Googling him.

Speaker 1 I hope he wins.

Speaker 7 Oh, okay, here we go. No arms, no problem.
Northwest Junior Highs. Thaddeus Longmore,

Speaker 7 loves playing football.

Speaker 4 Also, I think someone DM Billy this like this week because it's from October 10th. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Ah, okay, that makes sense. But shout out to him.
He deserves to be on Football Guy of the Week. I hope he wins because that's a fucking shit.

Speaker 7 He wears a t-shirt with a hashtag.

Speaker 4 Oh, it's Thaddeus Longmire.

Speaker 10 Yeah.

Speaker 7 Oh, yeah. The hashtag on his shirt is hashtag don't need to.

Speaker 1 Fuck.

Speaker 1 I like this. All right, this guy's a winner.
Yep.

Speaker 7 This guy's our guy.

Speaker 1 Football Guy of the Week. Absolute stud.
He has to win. He has to win.
All right, let's wrap it up Who's Back of the Week.

Speaker 1 Hank. Jake, what are you laughing at, Jake? What are you laughing at, Hank? Is it the fact I peed? Yeah, that's what it is.
That's what it is.

Speaker 7 My Who's Back of the Week.

Speaker 3 I got a

Speaker 3 couple stars in the spotlight for different reasons.

Speaker 3 First one's OBJ.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 3 Everyone's talking about where he's going to end up, and then the report came out Sunday morning that he got kicked off of a flight, a commercial flight in Miami, because he was passing out and then caused a scene when they asked him to wake up or stop moving around.

Speaker 7 They asked him to put his seatbelt on, allegedly. Now, I'm...
I think I'm Team Odell on this. I might be free Odell.

Speaker 3 Anyone that causes a scene on a plane and causes everyone to get off, like, I can't, it's hard for me to be on your team.

Speaker 7 That part sucks. However, according to Odell's lawyer, and this is like when your lawyer's typing out notes app statements, you know, things are going swimmingly.
And he said that Odell,

Speaker 7 as he does before flights, covered his head in a blanket

Speaker 7 to just relax on an airplane. And yet he may have been falling asleep.
The flight attendants came over, asked him to buckle up if he could.

Speaker 7 He didn't hear them asking because he had his blanket over his head, which is what Odell does every time he flies on an airplane.

Speaker 7 And so then the next thing Odell knew, the flight attendants and the police were over surrounding him like a common criminal.

Speaker 7 They took his blanket off and they said, Odell, you need to get off this flight.

Speaker 7 Spot the crime.

Speaker 1 Can't find one. People were mad, though.

Speaker 3 Yeah, just a weird, weird twist of the story of the Odell Beckham sweepstakes.

Speaker 3 And then my other who's back is our friend, Patty the Batty. Yes.
All-time funny video came out online. Someone put it out there.

Speaker 3 It's a ring video, black and white, and it's just Patty the Batty walking up to the door and basically ringing the doorbell to tell the woman that his dog took a massive shit right outside his house.

Speaker 3 Took a sloppy shit right outside his house.

Speaker 7 He's a gentleman.

Speaker 3 Just hilarious. Just the accent, the view, the fact that it's Patty.

Speaker 3 Just very, very funny video.

Speaker 1 Yes.

Speaker 3 Six and a half million views in a couple days.

Speaker 7 Incredible. Love it.

Speaker 3 He's fighting in two weeks. Love it.

Speaker 1 PFT, your who's back?

Speaker 7 My who's back of the week is the James Madison University Dukes.

Speaker 1 What about you? Yeah. We did.

Speaker 7 Oh, yeah, I came back.

Speaker 1 Yeah. Well, listen, big one.
Did you even go? Selfless guy. Come on.
Yeah, no, I'm back. This is really me.
This is a little tip.

Speaker 7 This isn't the replacement PFT.

Speaker 1 I'm so happy you're back.

Speaker 7 Thanks, Jake. Wow.

Speaker 4 When you tweeted, like, back in the United States, I'm like.

Speaker 1 I was never worried. I think I said, I was asked, and I said it was a 1.5.
Well, I did.

Speaker 7 There are some things that you'll see that will come out

Speaker 7 whenever the video does come out because we've got a lot lot of footage we're editing together right now.

Speaker 7 Went over there, spent time in Qatar with Donnie Does, the Wanton Don, Michelangelo, the producer, the Emir.

Speaker 3 You may have heard of him.

Speaker 7 He's the fucking Emir. Everybody knows him.
And

Speaker 7 there may have been some activities that we participated in that

Speaker 7 are traditionally

Speaker 7 not legal in Qatar that might carry certain punishments.

Speaker 1 You guys fucked each other?

Speaker 9 We kissed.

Speaker 7 Donnie and I made out. No, no, we didn't.

Speaker 7 But there's all I'm going to say, because Donnie is still overseas in Qatar. Okay.
We actually, this has all been a bit. We didn't break the law at all.

Speaker 7 But make sure to watch the video when it comes out to see what it is that we did do.

Speaker 7 The Emir was a gracious host.

Speaker 1 We ended up.

Speaker 7 So we talked a lot about the Emir, tweeted a lot about the Emir, and we ended up eating Thanksgiving dinner in the Emir's suite.

Speaker 6 Not with them. What is an Emir?

Speaker 3 Is it a guy? Is it a person?

Speaker 1 Is it a title?

Speaker 7 It's all the above and so much more. more.
The Emir is gracious. He's a wonderful person.

Speaker 1 He's a man. He's now Emir.

Speaker 7 No, so Amir.

Speaker 6 That would be weird.

Speaker 7 So there are different Emirates over in the Middle East. Emirates are names of kingdoms that they have that are governed by a religious/slash

Speaker 7 political leader, you could say. But they're not elected.

Speaker 7 They're

Speaker 7 chosen by God because they're better than everybody else.

Speaker 7 And so it is pretty cool. So the Emir owns everything over there.

Speaker 7 And basically, he's such a fucking baller that he decided that the best way to make his dad proud of him was to just spend $220 billion and get the World Cup brought to his small country.

Speaker 1 I bet his dad is proud.

Speaker 7 His dad's very proud of him.

Speaker 7 So it was.

Speaker 3 How'd you get invited to the suite?

Speaker 7 It's a long story. Like a friend of a friend of a friend ran into the guy that does the Everest equivalent over there.
No way. And he was there.
So we partied with him the first night.

Speaker 7 And then he was like, I've got tickets to the Ymir suite.

Speaker 7 And so then we went to the game, went through like 20 levels of security, like people stopping you every five feet and being like, Who are you here with? Let me see your credentials.

Speaker 7 Then we end up in the suite for the Switzerland Cameroon game. And that was fun.
There was not alcohol served because it was the Amir's suite. And we didn't want to disrespect his wishes.

Speaker 7 So we had a great time while we were there. We traveled all around.
There's going to be so many videos that are going to come out.

Speaker 7 It's going to be

Speaker 7 interesting, but I can't say what it is we did that could get Donnie in hot shit.

Speaker 1 Yeah, until Donnie gets back.

Speaker 7 Until Donnie is home safe. But it was great.
We went, I've spent the entire week that I was there telling every single British person that I saw.

Speaker 1 You there for two days.

Speaker 7 Yeah, well, two and a half days.

Speaker 1 Yeah. So

Speaker 7 every single person that I saw, I told them, we're going to tie the shit out of you. It's going to be fucking tie.
I told everybody, I was like, the Brits, you can say what you want about your team.

Speaker 7 You think you're hot shit because you beat Iran. We're going to tie you.
You've never been tied harder than we're about to tie you on Friday. They all said I was full of shit that I didn't know Footy.

Speaker 7 Who's laughing now?

Speaker 7 America. It was the best, the greatest tie of all time.
The tie heard around the world. We were calling it the Amiracle on grass.
And it was incredible. Can't wait for you guys to see the video.

Speaker 1 Was there a small part of you that was

Speaker 1 the tie was great?

Speaker 7 It was a perfect tie.

Speaker 1 But you traveled all that way and didn't get to see a goal?

Speaker 7 I traveled halfway around the world. Cameroon.

Speaker 1 I would try. I had to have scored in that game.

Speaker 7 Switzerland did.

Speaker 1 Hell yeah.

Speaker 6 Nice.

Speaker 7 I traveled halfway around the world with a singular mission to bring home a fucking tie to the United States. And that's what I did.

Speaker 7 We tied the shit. A goal would have been nice.
Goal would have been nice.

Speaker 1 But

Speaker 1 as I was watching the game, I was like, this would kind of suck if there was no goals. Yeah.

Speaker 7 So the

Speaker 7 thing about Qatar is every second there

Speaker 7 feels

Speaker 7 like you're scoring a thousand goals because of what a great country it is and how great of a job that the Ymir has done. It's not that hot.
It was like 80 degrees while we were there. 88.
The thing

Speaker 7 I learned about Qatari people,

Speaker 7 most Qatari people don't work ever because they're all, if you are from Qatar, you're just rich.

Speaker 7 Your job is just to be rich.

Speaker 1 This sounds like a country for you.

Speaker 7 And you just spend money on flexes. You get really into falconry.
You buy boats. Cars.
You go on luxurious vacations. You drive cars very fast around European cities and don't get arrested.

Speaker 7 This is the type of thing that you do if you're involved in the Qatari government. The people that work over there, they're all the workers that come from other countries to do all the actual jobs.

Speaker 7 Got it.

Speaker 7 The most employment that you have if you're like a Qatari person is you tell people like, where's my money at the end of this month? Lovely.

Speaker 7 How come there wasn't enough money this month compared to last money? And that's kind of what you do as your job. That's pretty cool.

Speaker 3 What was it like being in a full stadium of people, especially soccer fans, but they couldn't drink and weren't drunk before going in or could you pre-game?

Speaker 7 There were places that we could drink legally and otherwise.

Speaker 3 Not open till 6 6 p.m.

Speaker 9 or something.

Speaker 7 No, no, there's other places that you could drink from like 8 a.m. until whenever.

Speaker 7 It was not just in stadiums, but in general, it was unusual being in large groups of people who were all totally sober. Yeah.
Because that usually never happens in real life.

Speaker 7 Usually if you can see like 200 people around you, 50% of them are drunk. That's kind of the math that I usually do.

Speaker 7 There was no like the ratio was all off.

Speaker 1 That's another thing.

Speaker 7 It was all dudes because like if what girls are going to make a girls' trip to Qatar for the World Cup? That's not really a thing.

Speaker 1 You got to let your hair out, right?

Speaker 7 Yeah. What's up?

Speaker 1 You can't even let your hair out, literally. No, you can.
You can.

Speaker 7 It's a more progressive place than maybe you might think. It's not like people are wearing burqas all the time.

Speaker 7 Some of the employees, some of the people that work there, if you are Muslim, the rules are stricter on you if you're a Muslim than they are if you're a foreigner who's not a Muslim.

Speaker 7 So they kind of like, and there was a big understanding, it felt like the entire time that be cool.

Speaker 1 That

Speaker 7 let's not have an international incident. So we're not going to arrest people for every small little thing that's going on.

Speaker 7 But at the same time, if you saw people that were getting like a little out of line, there would be people that went up to them and

Speaker 7 had words and were like, hey, why don't you start respecting the Emir a little bit more?

Speaker 7 So

Speaker 1 it was pretty cool.

Speaker 7 It was a matter of time.

Speaker 1 Maybe it was a return trip.

Speaker 7 I would like to go back there in like two years

Speaker 7 to see what the hell the country is like at that point. Because this is no joke.
In the last 12 years, they spent $220 billion

Speaker 7 building the city. So everything that you see there is brand new.
From the second you walk in, the airport, the airport is like the most luxurious place that you've ever been.

Speaker 7 It's got a spa, it's got steam rooms, it's got cars in the duty-free shop. You can buy a McLaren for a million dollars, but not pay the duty taxes on it.
That's awesome. I should have done that.
Yeah.

Speaker 7 I forgot my checklist.

Speaker 7 But

Speaker 7 it was a really, it was an interesting place and uh it's going to be really nothing that they built is going to be usable in like five weeks damn so basically it was 220 billion dollars to throw a sick party to throw a sick party no booze to one impress your dad yeah yeah no booze no chicks that's kind of a sick party and then a 12-year-old's party it was like impress your dad and then also play soccer make mbs jealous in saudi arabia and make him try to spend a bunch of money to get the next world cup which could happen that could do um but it's yeah, it was an interesting trip.

Speaker 7 Video is going to be excellent. I'm happy you're back.
I'm happy that I came back, too. But I was all, Donnie and I, we know when to push, when to pull, I think.

Speaker 7 And when we pushed this time, I think it was strategically smart. So I never felt like I was in danger.

Speaker 1 Good, good, yeah. And it was a great tie.

Speaker 7 It was a wonderful tie.

Speaker 1 Great tie.

Speaker 7 And one of the stadiums looks like a vagina.

Speaker 1 It does.

Speaker 1 Everyone? That's a fact. Yeah.
Yeah, it does.

Speaker 7 It does. In fact, it was designed to look like a vagina.
In fact, for as much as they don't deal with, they don't like sex stuff in Qatar, everything over there resembles some sort of sexuality.

Speaker 1 I would imagine there's a lot of tension.

Speaker 7 Yes, there's a ton of tension. Yeah.

Speaker 1 All right. My who's back is the Badgers, Wisconsin Badgers, Luke Fickle.

Speaker 1 Out of nowhere,

Speaker 1 they hired Luke Fickle. It's all Coach's carousel.
Matt ruled in Nebraska.

Speaker 1 We don't know what's going on with Auburn still.

Speaker 1 But not Lane Lane Kiffen. Not Lane Kiffin.

Speaker 7 It's Hugh Freeze, right?

Speaker 1 But he hasn't signed yet. Yeah.
And also, there's a report. Hold on, I'm going to find it.

Speaker 1 Cadillac Williams announced that 12 players on the team have given their life to Christ this year. So I feel like he's making a good push for this.

Speaker 7 Does that improve their rating

Speaker 1 college football playoffs? I don't know. But yeah, college football.
We'll talk about it all on Wednesday. Luke Fickle,

Speaker 1 completely out of left field. Never even thought he was available.
Loved the hire, excited because Wisconsin could not have been more bottomed out this year.

Speaker 1 But yeah, we'll get into the whole college football playoffs because it's maybe the least exciting championship Saturday we've had in a long time.

Speaker 1 It feels like everything's pretty much set except maybe the Pac-12 championship.

Speaker 7 Or like, yeah, if TCU loses in the Big 12 championship,

Speaker 1 what does that affect? I think they're still in.

Speaker 7 I think that there's a lot of voters out there that are chomping at the bit.

Speaker 1 The way Ohio State law

Speaker 1 changes a lot of how everyone views, like if Ohio State lost close, it would have been different. The fact that he got absolutely smushed by Jim Harbaugh yet again, that was awesome.
That was awesome.

Speaker 1 Ryan Day, born on third. But yeah, Luke Fickle, Wisconsin's back.
I'm very, very excited.

Speaker 1 It's been a long time since I've been this excited about the Badgers. It's a good hire.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 And recurring guest.

Speaker 1 Jake, finish us off before I totally lose my voice.

Speaker 4 My who's back is slapping. We had an emergency podcast when Will Smith had the slap, and now we have it on the basketball court.

Speaker 7 I don't know if you guys saw this video, but Doug Eddert, NCAA tournament legend from St. Peter's.

Speaker 15 He transferred to Bryant.

Speaker 7 They beat Syracuse this weekend.

Speaker 4 We don't need to talk about that aspect of this, but Drew DeMintz from Syracuse and Doug Eddert got in a slap-off, and they both got ejected, and this was very interesting.

Speaker 4 They've ever seen a slap-off on the basketball court.

Speaker 7 Doug made a business decision during the slap-off, extricated himself from the slap.

Speaker 1 All-time quick quick business.

Speaker 7 Yeah, don't really blame him.

Speaker 1 But

Speaker 7 he brought like a smack to a slap fight.

Speaker 1 Yeah, he ran so fast. Yeah.
And Syracuse fucked up. They slap first.

Speaker 4 They did slap first and they lost. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Oh, why is JMU back?

Speaker 7 Good question, big cat, because JMU, in my mind and in your mind,

Speaker 7 are the Sunbelt East champions.

Speaker 1 I'm giving it to him because they covered with ease against Coastal. It was impressive.

Speaker 7 That's their second top 25 win of the season. Damn.
The other being when they beat themselves when Tyd Santeo was a little bit banged up and they were ranked 25 in the nation. But

Speaker 7 I think it's a bullshit rule that they're not allowed to participate in the Sun Belt Championship and they're not allowed to participate in the Bowl season, all that shit. Pizza Party?

Speaker 7 The pizza party, I said that I would throw them a pizza party. They'll match.
Big cats matching. We're going to throw them a pizza party.

Speaker 7 It'll be a pizza party the likes of which they've never seen before.

Speaker 7 I'm thinking 20. You think 20 pies more?

Speaker 1 30?

Speaker 7 40. So I had like half the offensive line hit me up after the game being like, where's this pizza party? So I got to figure out how to do it.

Speaker 1 You got 20, I got 20. So 40 mashed.
Okay, we'll do 40 Chinello's pizzas. No, how about

Speaker 7 part of my cheese steaks? We could also, we could toss in some cheese steaks,

Speaker 7 and then we'll do some Chinello's cheesy bread too, some two liters of soda.

Speaker 1 Some coffee.

Speaker 7 Some coffee. Should we.
I was thinking that we do a banner, too.

Speaker 7 Like

Speaker 7 Sunbelt East Champions.

Speaker 1 But a small one.

Speaker 7 Yeah. I never said how big the banner would be.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 7 It'll be a personalized banner. They're probably not allowed to hang at the stadium due to conference regulations.
But, I mean, it's not their fault that they're banned from the postseason. Bullshit.

Speaker 7 The school moved up their first season ever in FBS, and they win their fucking conference division.

Speaker 1 That rule should only be if you move down. I agree.
I agree.

Speaker 7 But, like, what they did this year was legitimately incredible, and it was fun to watch. So a pizza party shall be yours.
I'm just trying to figure out how I go about doing this pizza party.

Speaker 7 We just order

Speaker 1 a pizza place and order it.

Speaker 7 Order it to the stadium.

Speaker 1 Be like one of the offensive linemen.

Speaker 1 Give us the night.

Speaker 6 Yeah, okay. If you're just order a bunch of pizza.

Speaker 7 If you're an offensive lineman at JMU,

Speaker 7 DM me. Let me know where you live.
Let me know what time would be appropriate. I will then send you all the money, and then you buy the pizzas.

Speaker 1 No, I think we have to buy the pizzas. That's a pizza party.
That's a terrible idea. Well, Hank, look at this.

Speaker 1 All right, fine. Fuck it.
First of all, you said they already DM'd you. So just DM one of them back and be like, where do you want the pizzas and at what time? Yeah.
And then we will order the pizza.

Speaker 7 Where, what time pizzas, and then we're going to order too many pizzas for you.

Speaker 3 Yeah.

Speaker 3 One kid's going to get one pizza and then have like 300 bucks for it.

Speaker 1 Yeah, I know. Yeah.
40 pizzas.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 7 Sunbelt champions.

Speaker 1 All right.

Speaker 1 That's our show.

Speaker 1 Numbers.

Speaker 3 So I, on Friday, Black Friday, in an effort to promote some merch.

Speaker 1 No, have you ever gotten it? No, no, no.

Speaker 1 No, no, no.

Speaker 7 I'm going to do 17, big cat.

Speaker 3 In an effort to promote some merch, I said, if you buy some part of my take item and tweet me the receipt with a number, I'm going to put your name. I made a giant Google spreadsheet.

Speaker 3 Took me all afternoon. Over 150 names.
It's all organized. I was going to start with the number that was most suggested, which was 17.

Speaker 7 PFT took that like an absolute.

Speaker 7 You took your fucking time figuring out what number you were going to pick while I was trying to explain. I was trying to move the show along.

Speaker 1 I'm going to get fun out of this.

Speaker 1 Wait, you have to win with your number, not someone else's.

Speaker 3 No, I'm using... These aren't my numbers.
These are just suggestions from these people. I'm going to go with 31.

Speaker 1 By the way, if you win. 18.
Do you think they'll be like, we'll just go crazy?

Speaker 1 I'll go crazy. I was just thinking, like, what if we went crazy in like, you know, like a college basketball locker room where they're just spraying water on them? Mm-hmm.

Speaker 1 That would be crazy.

Speaker 3 I think if I think if I

Speaker 1 sprayed water on them all over the place,

Speaker 1 no. If you hit this, I'm dumping my urine on you.

Speaker 1 Just so you know, I'm just saying that right now.

Speaker 1 I'm dumping my urine on you if you hit this. All right, fine.
Okay, great.

Speaker 3 So, shout out to the people that.

Speaker 1 So, what's your number? 31. Have you ever gotten it?

Speaker 3 Make Lorian, McBarron, Midhat, Mike JR.

Speaker 1 All right, 17, Max

Speaker 1 20,

Speaker 4 18. Memes has three.

Speaker 1 Memes has three. I have 64.
He exited in his submission.

Speaker 3 31, baby.

Speaker 1 Give it to me. Give it to me.
Oh, my God. That's going to be disgusting.
I don't care. 78.
78.

Speaker 1 I.

Speaker 1 This is fucked up because now I think

Speaker 1 I think Hank's going to get it now.

Speaker 7 With somebody else's number.

Speaker 1 Yeah, with someone else's number.

Speaker 7 But, Hank, what happens if you get it? Do you then can you have to continue to use other people's numbers?

Speaker 1 Yeah, you never will get it with your own numbers. Shut up.
I don't think you'll get it with other people's numbers. This is bullshit.

Speaker 1 No, it's not. Just a test one.

Speaker 1 No, you got a test? Yeah, no, this doesn't count.

Speaker 1 See everyone on Wednesday.

Speaker 7 31.

Speaker 7 Talking away,

Speaker 7 I don't know what

Speaker 7 to say, I'd say it anyway.
