Speaker 38 week 11.

Speaker 38 What?

Speaker 6 And before we get started, we want to wish congratulations to our friends up north, the Toronto Argonauts, the Great Cup.

Speaker 41 Fantastic game for

Speaker 41 season. His uncle, very good friend.

Speaker 40 Very good friend.

Speaker 36 We start in Foxborough, where Zach Wilson was running a Coors Lights special 9 for 22.

Speaker 45 The game was a punt fest as Brayden Jawana Mann has the Jets still searching for theirs. And Michael Laddie Dottie, we like to Parlotti, added another seven punts for the Patriots.

Speaker 43 In a matchup of which quarterback sucks more, the vacuum cleaner sucked better, and it was another M.A. Jones who came up huge as Marcus ran, whoop, whoop,

Speaker 38 ran his way to victory with a punt return touchdown with five seconds left.

Speaker 47 Jets plus three and a half.

Speaker 54 Some spread.

Speaker 38 Patriots 10.

Speaker 55 Jets three.

Speaker 38 To Detroit we go for the Browns and the Bills.

Speaker 41 The Bills went across a body of water as Stefan Bay of Diggs went Cuba diving in hopes of smoking a victory cigar.

Speaker 38 The run police were out in full force to sparing Buffalo's offense, only to forget that they have Devin Little Singletary's magic.

Speaker 56 Everything he does just turns them on as he rushed for 86 yards and a score.

Speaker 56 The game was a blowout, but unfortunately, Donovan fucked the People's Jones, scored with 30 seconds left to screw the Bills backers.

Speaker 38 Hey, Tech. Ye boom,

Speaker 40 no one circles the wagons like the Buffalo Bills.

Speaker 56 Bills, 31. Brouch, 23.

Speaker 49 Down to Indianapolis, where Jeff Saturday, Saturday, Saturday, Saturday, Saturday, Saturday, Saturday, Saturday. Jeff Saturday's alright, alright.

Speaker 44 Jalen Flirts was bumbling as the Eagles' one seed hinged on his play, but he kept grinding and was able to dig deep and farm.

Speaker 42 There's only a win out of an otherwise poor Philadelphia performance.

Speaker 43 Hey, Siri, honey, subscribe to part of my take and play Fly Eagles Fly.

Speaker 56 Eagles 17, Colts 16.

Speaker 41 We screwed up some computers there, huh?

Speaker 30 Sorry, sorry.

Speaker 56 In Houston, we're in a plot twist.

Speaker 41 Kendall Roy Fuller and Logan Roy Thomas played on the same team for once as the commanders let their way star shine bright, cruising to a victory.

Speaker 67 We don't talk about the cruises cool.

Speaker 41 Casey Anthony Tuhill wrapped up a Texans ball carrier and then acted all innocent, but everyone knew that he did it. Cheer up, Texans fans.

Speaker 56 The Astros just won a World Series without cheating.

Speaker 41 So you've got that going for you, which is nice. They've actually won three more games in Houston than the Texans have all season long.

Speaker 41 And so it's an Astros time and all three of those games forgets the Philadelphia team as well.

Speaker 58 Commanders, 23.

Speaker 56 Texans 10.

Speaker 66 In Atlanta where the Bears met the Falcons in a battle of Billy Football's dreams. Speaking of Met, Cole had a high-light catch as the ball come at his hand in the first half for a big game.

Speaker 42 Cordero Rubin Patterson, aka the Kobe stopper, slithered through the kickoff defense for his record-breaking ninth kickoff return for a touchdown.

Speaker 53 Breaking moves.

Speaker 57 Breaking moves.

Speaker 66 LeBron James just tweeted, when I saw Corderelle Patterson get drafted by the Vikings in 2013, I said to my boys, that guy is going to break the kickoff return record someday.

Speaker 42 The Bears had one last drive, fall flat as fields, pass to David Montgomery Burns, smithered the last chance in a Bears victory.

Speaker 60 Falcons 27, Bears 24.

Speaker 55 We go to the Meadowlands where Giants quarterback Daniel got thrown to the lion's den.

Speaker 41 Aiden Abetton-Hutchison got away with another interception, and it's soup season for Campbell as he went right at Chunky Tay Clam Crowder.

Speaker 40 Jared Kustergoff said Ivanka win and is currently living rent-free in the minds of Giants fans.

Speaker 41 No cap, but Jamal Billiams was fedorable and got himself fitted for a hat-trick.

Speaker 53 Sombrero.

Speaker 58 Lions, 31.

Speaker 56 Giants, 18.

Speaker 46 In Minnesota, where many people have been saying don't rush to judgment on the 8-1 Vikings, we must wait for all the Daks to come out.

Speaker 66 Dallas put on their Tony Kop cowboy Pollard and ran the ball down Minnesota's throat.

Speaker 68 And let's hope Ezekiel Elliott Ness doesn't stay in town because Viking fans will need a drink after this whomping.

Speaker 68 Anytime Nick Mones and Adam Threelin appear on a telecast, you're going to be dealing with some problematic footage as Big D goes to come town, R.I.P.

Speaker 43 Cowboys 40, Vikings 3.

Speaker 41 Up to Mile High where Broncos fans are calling him, Nathaniel, take off your pants and hack it because this guy's coaching like a jerkoff.

Speaker 41 After a prophetic pregame statement from Coach Hackett that somebody has to win, the game went into overtime and was headed to a tie.

Speaker 41 But in a touching tribute to my good friend Elon Musk's Tesla autopilot system, the Broncos secondary wasn't able to recognize a man by himself being targeted by a car.

Speaker 34 The

Speaker 57 Raiders

Speaker 56 take down the Broncos 22 to 16.

Speaker 62 Standing on a corner, Jameis Winston down in NOLA. Such a fine sight to see.

Speaker 62 It's McVay, my lord.

Speaker 30 What's he coaching for?

Speaker 62 He should have taken the job on TV.

Speaker 78 Come on, perkins. Tigers lurking.

Speaker 78 And Jameis's soul is hurting.

Speaker 80 saints Saints go marching 27 20

Speaker 30 and that was week 11 fastest two minutes hey it's pft here reminding you that boars head makes game day entertaining elevated and effortless whether you order catering platters ahead from your local boars head retailer or you create your own spread at home with boars head premium deli meats and cheeses you are sure to impress your guests My favorites like oven gold turkey or blazing buffalo style chicken paired with their classic Vermont cheddar or creamy Munster 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 15 Week 11 in the books.

Speaker 32 We're stepping into fourth quarter of Chargers Chiefs, and we will update you after that.

Speaker 87 But...

Speaker 88 Week 11 in the books.

Speaker 64 Great week.

Speaker 44 Great week 11. I feel like we learned some stuff.

Speaker 3 There was kind of some some duds of games. Not a ton of scoring in the first slate, but some compelling storylines coming out of this week.

Speaker 30 I really things we learned. I really learned a lot about one team today.

Speaker 53 Ah, we're not.

Speaker 30 There's one team that I'm not smiling.

Speaker 30 It might sound like I'm smiling. Yeah.
And it might sound like I'm about to take a victory lap, but I am against all forms of running, so I will not be taking a victory lap yet.

Speaker 92 Yeah, there's, but I am, yeah.

Speaker 30 I am going to enjoy talking about this week's NFL action. Yes.

Speaker 52 Yes.

Speaker 66 We do it chronologically, so it will be the last game we talk about.

Speaker 93 So for the people who maybe are on our side, you can just wait for that.

Speaker 23 And the people who have been sickos and perverts and weirdos listening to us have to lament a certain team going 8-1 up until this week, this won't be fun for you.

Speaker 16 But let's hop in.

Speaker 97 Let's do chronological order.

Speaker 1 Let's start with Patriots Jets.

Speaker 37 Patriots, 10, Jets, 3.

Speaker 30 Now, that's actually not chronological order because for some reason this game

Speaker 30 started like 15 minutes late. Did we ever figure out what was going on with that?

Speaker 101 No idea.

Speaker 30 It's classic Belchek.

Speaker 103 Power outside the stadium.

Speaker 104 Yeah, Belichick. Belichick

Speaker 103 in and outside the stadium. Belcheck.

Speaker 30 He had one of those EMPs like from Oceans 11 that fried all the electronics.

Speaker 14 Yeah, so it did start a little late, but Patriots 10, Jets 3, an absolute defensive slug fest, snooze fest offensively, 3-3 tie going into the last 30 seconds until we had a Braden Mann line drive punt to Marcus Jones, who returned at 84 yards for the first punt return touchdown this season, and the Patriots win 10 to 3.

Speaker 109 I don't know where we want to start.

Speaker 24 I mean, there's a lot of. Well, this was.
We should start with the winners.

Speaker 40 Hank, yeah, let's start with the Patriots.

Speaker 30 It was the first game in the last 40 seasons in which the first touchdown scored was a defense or special teams touchdown in the final minute of the game.

Speaker 30 Also, this is a game that we've never seen before.

Speaker 53 It also

Speaker 26 our guy, Stadhole Sports, who has stats backing up to 1999, he said the first time he could find that the special teams and extra point scored more than both offenses.

Speaker 3 So that was seven points at the end by special teams and extra point more than the six points that both offenses were able to produce with field goals.

Speaker 30 Interesting. It's crazy.

Speaker 30 So, Hank,

Speaker 30 the floor is yours. Congrats on Mac Jones.
He's a winner.

Speaker 115 Because I think we know we have a lot of other things we've got to discuss.

Speaker 30 Mac Jones wins football games.

Speaker 116 Yeah, one of the worst games I've ever watched.

Speaker 116 I was just miserable. It was a miserable viewing experience.
There was really no fun, no joy. Till the end, we did win.
We did cover.

Speaker 112 Which is crazy.

Speaker 74 That's an all-time bad beat.

Speaker 117 Yes.

Speaker 102 I was three and a half.

Speaker 116 I was texting friends being like, we need to get a pick six, which was in play because Zach Wilson is one of the worst quarterbacks I've ever had to watch.

Speaker 116 That was in play, and that was my only thinking of how we could win this game. It was like, we need a pick six, touchdown.
We can win and cover. Not even factoring in a punt return.

Speaker 118 uh

Speaker 10 but yeah it was it was i i guess

Speaker 116 we won i'm happy it was gross we suck at least when the patriots had the play calling i will say this about the play calling and i'm not a i'm not a football mind you guys you know billy played football you guys know football i don't know football play calling you know to save my life i just played madden it drives me fucking insane when you know it's third and seven third and eight and we just throw the ball to like three yards pass like yeah just

Speaker 116 take a shot, like, try and, not, not like third and 15, not third and 14, third and eight, third and seven, third and seven. Just

Speaker 116 have the receivers run a route pass the line to gain and then and then throw them a pass.

Speaker 44 The best way to sum up this game, um, because there was no offense, but Mac Jones didn't play bad.

Speaker 86 He just, you know, he was ding and dunk.

Speaker 53 Yeah, right.

Speaker 21 He, there was a stretch where he was 10 for 10 in a row for 134 yards.

Speaker 73 And in that stretch, he was sacked four times.

Speaker 17 So, in the 10-for-10 stretch, he was sacked four times.

Speaker 7 That was the type of game we were dealing with where Mac Jones actually played pretty well,

Speaker 3 especially when you consider the guy he was playing against in Zach Wilson.

Speaker 124 Also, Hank, I'll say that Matthew Judon is just an absolute game wrecker.

Speaker 71 He has 13 and a half sacks on the season.

Speaker 61 He's a fucking beast.

Speaker 115 But, yeah, a win is a win is a win.

Speaker 74 And now we should probably talk about Zach Wilson and, oh boy, is it bad.

Speaker 30 Well, here's a fun stat.

Speaker 30 They had more punts than he had completions today.

Speaker 3 PFT, here's another fun stat.

Speaker 24 In the second half, Zach Wilson had four completions for 12 yards.

Speaker 53 Oh, wow. But,

Speaker 126 okay, go ahead. Because I had another functionality.

Speaker 30 He had 44 net yards on 26 drop backs. Oof, oof, oh, yeah.
That's like less than two yards per drop back.

Speaker 3 Yeah, so he was nine for 22 for 77 yards, not net yards, 77 yards, and 34 of those yards came on one play.

Speaker 24 He also, and this is probably the bigger issue, afterwards was asked, do you feel like you let the defense down?

Speaker 115 And he replied, no.

Speaker 101 He also added, I think you have to take into account it's windy as hell out there, too, guys.

Speaker 54 Good point.

Speaker 83 So wind was a factor.

Speaker 77 But there was also a report afterwards that the Jets locker room was maybe not so happy that Zach Wilson was walking around not taking accountability when the punter and the special teams took accountability and the defense played lights out and held the Patriots to three points, and Zach Wilson was that bad, but he doesn't.

Speaker 131 Well, you know what? He can't because he says he doesn't care about stats.

Speaker 30 The exact quote that was said, sources inside the Jets losing locker room told SNY that Zach Wilson was walking around after the game, quote, like he isn't the problem, end quote.

Speaker 30 I would like to know what that walk looks like. I think I know what that walk looks like.

Speaker 30 Basically saying like your shit doesn't stink. Yeah.
Is what they're getting at. Like,

Speaker 30 I would like Zach Wilson after this game to wear whatever scarlet letter the team chooses for him.

Speaker 30 Like, just walk around with your hand raised and don't say anything for the next day, but like, hey, that one was on me, guys. Yeah.
Just say, like, hey, my bad.

Speaker 48 Yeah. All right.

Speaker 44 So, Billy, before, before you talk, I want to just, I want to help you out, okay?

Speaker 61 Because I actually,

Speaker 23 and you might not realize this, I have been here because this, the comparison I've been making is the Jets this season feel like the 2018 Chicago Bears.

Speaker 61 And I say that because the Chicago Bears in 2018 2018 were an elite defense.

Speaker 21 This Jets team has an elite defense.

Speaker 54 So good.

Speaker 53 The quarterback was in their second year, second overall pick.

Speaker 37 I looked back and it was actually through week 11.

Speaker 16 Both teams had five games so far in the season with under 200 pass yards.

Speaker 25 They both had given up about the same amount of points.

Speaker 63 And it goes to the same problem of your team can be good and your quarterback's bad and having to separate the two because I was hurt very badly by that team.

Speaker 121 Because I was like, oh, it's going to be okay.

Speaker 137 Mitch is going to be okay.

Speaker 132 When deep down, I knew maybe not.

Speaker 53 So, with that,

Speaker 53 go ahead.

Speaker 11 This is

Speaker 11 one of the hardest. This was one of the worst Jets losses, I think, since the butt fumble, to be honest.
Just like,

Speaker 11 it's pretty bad. And that's just because the game was so close the whole time in a low-scoring game.
In my head, I was like, this is the game we can win. This is the game we can win.

Speaker 11 You know, we're just going to break it through with like one run. We're going to get one touchdown drive, just something on the ground probably.
And it's going to break open.

Speaker 11 And then we're going to manage the clock and get it down and hopefully win 10-3.

Speaker 72 But

Speaker 11 it's the coin.

Speaker 55 It's the coin. We couldn't win this game.

Speaker 126 The coin.

Speaker 11 The coin was 10-0 on picks going into week 11 and is now 11-0. The coin says that the Patriots were going to beat the Jets.
So

Speaker 11 we're at the mercy of the coin. The coin saw us almost winning the game, and the coin was like, boom, punt return.

Speaker 30 You never had a chance.

Speaker 30 You were going up against something much more powerful than the wind.

Speaker 55 That's the coin. The coin was for the first time.

Speaker 25 I think you have to take into account it's windy as hell out there, too, guys.

Speaker 11 I had actually friends at the game, former college team.

Speaker 30 Okay, now were they at the game or were they like?

Speaker 139 You've had some sketchy weather over there.

Speaker 11 No, I had these guys at the game. They were bundled up.

Speaker 70 What did they say? Was it windy as hell?

Speaker 11 It's windy as fuck.

Speaker 104 Oh, as fuck.

Speaker 30 Okay, so I heard, we need to figure this out because it was either windy as fuck or windy as hell.

Speaker 11 In the Snapchat stories, they posted you can hear the wind.

Speaker 79 Oh, okay.

Speaker 116 How many miles an hour did it sound like?

Speaker 72 I don't know. Okay, that's all.
It sounds fucking windy.

Speaker 140 It's about 15 to 15.

Speaker 11 You can tell that it wasn't the day to throw the football.

Speaker 11 And the Jets run game wasn't, you know.

Speaker 30 Existent.

Speaker 84 Exactly.

Speaker 84 Mac Jones did throw the football decent.

Speaker 48 I know, but what do you have, like 240?

Speaker 55 yards?

Speaker 40 Someone say very well.

Speaker 123 He threw for 23 for 27, 246 yards.

Speaker 11 Remember, Belichick deferred so he could choose which way they were going.

Speaker 11 And they were going with the win in the fourth quarter. Gotcha.
So the win would be against the Jets. And look, that's some of the genius shit that Belichick does to fuck with rookie quarterbacks.

Speaker 30 You can actually see the trajectory of the ball. Okay, we joke about Zach Wilson not.
being a rookie quarterback, but calling him a rookie quarterback.

Speaker 62 You know that he's not a rookie quarterback.

Speaker 40 But he's not a young quarterback.

Speaker 138 Sorry.

Speaker 142 He didn't play his whole first year.

Speaker 30 Listen, I don't blame you what you're doing right now because you definitely have the cognitive dissonance. You're like lying to yourself.

Speaker 30 You don't want to admit that Zach Wilson is the root of the world.

Speaker 78 The thing is all your problems.

Speaker 58 Hatred.

Speaker 143 No, no, no, no, no, no.

Speaker 14 I think it might be Zach Wilson.

Speaker 62 Well, it's probably Zach.

Speaker 116 What about the accountability people?

Speaker 30 You know what makes me mad? Is now Billy's walking all around like Zach Wilson isn't the problem. Yeah.

Speaker 92 I don't know.

Speaker 40 Yeah, in the locker room, he's not happy about it.

Speaker 62 No, we're not.

Speaker 144 We are. Bro to bro.

Speaker 40 Bro to bro. Whoa, whoa, whoa.

Speaker 78 Bro, whoa, whoa.

Speaker 28 Are you going bro to bro?

Speaker 11 No, no, I'm bro to bro and Zach Wilson. Okay.
23-year-olds in the workforce.

Speaker 11 You really sometimes, even when you think that if you didn't throw any interceptions and just played conservative all game, like that would be

Speaker 11 happy with you, but you got to take accountability.

Speaker 131 So you did, when you came in, you're like, he hasn't thrown any interceptions.

Speaker 46 He did try to throw a few interceptions that were literally off of guys' hands.

Speaker 40 That was tipped on the line.

Speaker 116 The one that McCordy that he just threw at his chest and then McCordy dropped.

Speaker 53 And I'm going to look at tipped.

Speaker 79 If you look at it, it was tipped.

Speaker 111 Billy, I'm going to

Speaker 111 share.

Speaker 3 I'm going to be gracious towards you because I actually understand exactly what you're going through, and it sucks because the Jets have a really good roster.

Speaker 5 Like, their defense is awesome.

Speaker 61 And having to deal with the defense being awesome, running game being good, and then there's just one guy who's holding everything back, it's the shittiest feeling in the world.

Speaker 147 I would say the only plus side, like my comparison to the 2018 Bears, that Bears' defense was not like all young studs so you at least if if if the jets are smart and they're like hey we got to pull the rip the rip the bandaid off now and try something different maybe maybe you can salvage everything but it's bad billy zach wilson he ranks in passer rating he's 33rd in completion percentage he's 34th in pass td to interception he's 32nd in pass td to attempts percentage he's 32nd the the thing is the worst quarterback in the nfl right the thing is is, the ceiling is still there.

Speaker 11 Besides Russell Wilson, the ceiling is still there.

Speaker 11 In switching the quarterback halfway through, be it we take a guy who's behind him right now, or we go out and get someone, you're still going to have to go into the offense, get reps, and still have this warm-up period.

Speaker 11 Where if we're going to find someone who's going to play, oh, yeah, I mean, it's got to be a good thing.

Speaker 40 No, no, no, we're not saying now.

Speaker 5 No, we're not saying that he's going to be taken out this year.

Speaker 53 No, no, no, no, exactly.

Speaker 106 That's not what we're saying. We're saying

Speaker 30 next year, like big cat, let me ask you this: do you think Joe Flacco wins this game?

Speaker 117 I think Mike White might win this game.

Speaker 30 I think Joe Flacco wins this game.

Speaker 83 Yeah.

Speaker 30 So I was going to be nice and say, I'm not calling for Zach Wilson to be benched. I'd like to see Flacco out there.

Speaker 3 I just, the problem with Zach Wilson is like he does.

Speaker 96 That report is very, like, the fact that he sat up there and they're like, do you think that you're the reason why he lost?

Speaker 26 Like, that defense balled out, held him to three points, and he's like, no.

Speaker 64 Like, dude, if he played even

Speaker 93 C

Speaker 24 D plus game, the Jets probably can win that game.

Speaker 91 Like, they were in field goal range once.

Speaker 36 They had no drives.

Speaker 11 But, you know, if the running game.

Speaker 116 In the past, missed two field goals.

Speaker 11 Yeah. If the running game was there, it would have allowed him to get something else going.
But him not turning the ball over, yes, there was the tip that went right into McCorry's hands.

Speaker 11 But it's just more of, I think, him against Belichick right now in his stage of the career is the bigger road bump. So, like, for example, if you put Joe Flacco in, you probably perform better.
Yeah.

Speaker 11 But But next week, the Joe Flacco versus Zach Wilson.

Speaker 150 Zach Wilson hasn't been good like in the other weeks.

Speaker 11 Right, but the arm talent, I know this sounds crazy, but I really think his ceiling is Patrick Mahomes.

Speaker 51 Okay, yeah.

Speaker 11 He just, I agree, it sounds crazy.

Speaker 104 I know that sounds crazy.

Speaker 78 I've been trying to help him.

Speaker 40 I got to ban him.

Speaker 78 I still got to ban Miles.

Speaker 40 I still think his ceiling is.

Speaker 72 We need to.

Speaker 27 I got to be like, I don't know what my crazy friend said.

Speaker 82 I don't know him.

Speaker 40 I still think there's a lot of people.

Speaker 58 Can you bleed that out?

Speaker 69 I just, the ceiling is there.

Speaker 30 Billy, listen.

Speaker 116 The ceiling is the floor.

Speaker 11 We've seen, like, basically, we still, no matter what we do, we have to play in the rest of the day.

Speaker 30 The ceiling is the cellar.

Speaker 31 I agree with you, bro.

Speaker 131 And I agree with you. Like, this is the hard part.

Speaker 111 And again, if you go back and listen to 2018, me, I was saying the same shit where I was like, I was trying to convince myself.

Speaker 3 It just sucks because you know that he's the guy who's holding everything back.

Speaker 95 And Joe Douglas and that team has put together a really good roster.

Speaker 88 And that one piece is missing right now.

Speaker 63 It's holding him back from winning games.

Speaker 30 Now, I do agree that with a high draft pick like that,

Speaker 40 you can't pull the cord entirely after two years.

Speaker 30 You need to give players time to develop. Some guys take longer than others to develop.
But right now,

Speaker 30 it's abundantly clear that if he is going to play like that, then he should probably be like, yeah, I fucked that one up today. I know.

Speaker 11 He needs to take accountability, young people in.

Speaker 11 Of course, bro to bro. Like, sometimes you press a button, you're not supposed to, and then you be like, how could this possibly be my fault? Why?

Speaker 153 Is there a button like this before i'd be like look we're probably gonna press the button like

Speaker 3 those three and a half hours of footage from today but also in the end like yeah he's all of jets twitter is ripping him apart everyone's well rightfully so yeah he's gonna he's gonna probably be the starter next year too i'm just saying unless something changes he is the reason why you're losing these games and he's the reason why a defense that could take them deep in the playoffs is not going to go deep in the playoffs and because and the coin coin the coin has us losing next week congratulations

Speaker 53 on your bears

Speaker 30 yeah but then we go on a five-game win streak after that so and then you and then that's when he i i okay so sidebar big cat yeah i actually think that billy really believes in this coin

Speaker 52 and that's why he's saying that like he actually thinks that they're going to go to the afc championship game no so they're because of the coins he's like Zach Wilson will prove that he's a playoff quarterback when he gets to the AFC.

Speaker 30 So Billy truly believes in the power of

Speaker 11 we're in store for a five-game win streak after this Bears game where Zach Wilson is going to show he is the guy. So we're just going off of the coins metrics and it hasn't been wrong yet.

Speaker 30 What's up with Elijah Moore on that last kick return of the game?

Speaker 84 I think

Speaker 30 that to me looked like he was

Speaker 30 trying to lose on purpose.

Speaker 11 I don't want to agree with you because we tried to get him the ball this game. It didn't really work out.

Speaker 54 Well, you can't get him the ball with Zach Wilson.

Speaker 30 It was really good. Define tried.

Speaker 11 Belichick knows the Foxborough weather. Like, he's got a farmer's almanac that he knows.

Speaker 30 Now we're getting into like DARPA shit with Defelt. Like he's creating weather machines.

Speaker 127 When he missed missed Braxton Berrios, who was standing like five feet away from him, that was...

Speaker 11 But you can see the ball. I mean, all of the Patriots miss kicks.

Speaker 40 Matt Jones is.

Speaker 30 I think the bigger problem was that at times Zach Wilson gets lost in the pocket, and he gets dizzy and starts running backwards like he just did a dizzy bat race when he was a spin move.

Speaker 30 And he doesn't, like you've been one that's told us about this. He doesn't run towards downfield.
He doesn't run towards the opponent's end zone. He doesn't keep his eyes downfield.

Speaker 30 He drips backwards.

Speaker 11 What he should have done this game was in those situations, he should have been like, fuck it, I'm going to run my, I'm going to like be a workhorse and like be Justin Fields and just go get

Speaker 55 in terms of athleticism.

Speaker 11 In terms of athleticism, but like go pick up the yards with your feet.

Speaker 11 Try to earn your team's

Speaker 11 like respect by putting your body on a line and being a gamer and just like try to get these yards. Not trying to be nice with it.
Just like go get that five yards.

Speaker 11 Go put your shoulder down and try to earn these guys.

Speaker 81 Yeah, he said he doesn't care about stats. That's the thing.

Speaker 30 Like Kenny Pickett.

Speaker 11 Kenny Pickett fucking puts his shoulder down and

Speaker 11 he gets that five yards. He's he, you know.

Speaker 30 He's not a gamer.

Speaker 120 I think you're exactly right.

Speaker 11 Like Zach Wilson, you are too good looking to actually play like a pretty boy.

Speaker 157 But he is playing like a pretty boy.

Speaker 11 So you got to fucking put your shoulder down.

Speaker 23 It also feels like sometimes he's playing like he's still at BYU and they're playing like Utah State.

Speaker 119 Exactly.

Speaker 127 He's like, this is not going to work because everyone is significantly faster and heavier and stronger.

Speaker 26 So when you spin,

Speaker 24 the end of the spin is a dude who's 300 pounds jumping on your back.

Speaker 4 Not the end of a spin is like, oh, you have 10 yards to walk around and then throw it deep.

Speaker 30 That's the difference. I actually think that Billy's right.
Like, the more good-looking a quarterback is, the more they're going to call you soft if, in fact, you exhibit any sort of softness.

Speaker 30 Like, Justin Herbert got to the league. Everybody's like, oh, soft Callie boy.
But then he just started running people over and breaking his own rib. And they're like, okay, we like this guy.
Yeah.

Speaker 5 Here's Here's the good news, Billy.

Speaker 121 The Bears' defense is terrible.

Speaker 95 The Bears, what are you shaking your head?

Speaker 116 Max just laughs. Nothing.

Speaker 53 Nothing. What?

Speaker 116 I'm upset about the fumble. Max is just laughing, having a great time.

Speaker 118 Oh, that.

Speaker 36 Ain't no fun when the Rabbits.

Speaker 140 I thought you were laughing at what DFD was saying.

Speaker 126 Ain't no fun when the Rabbits got the guns.

Speaker 30 Let's go, Chargers.

Speaker 158 Oh, man.

Speaker 12 Hank, doesn't that stink to lose a bet and have someone smirk?

Speaker 116 Oh, it's disrespectful. It's fun.

Speaker 141 Oh, I love you.

Speaker 40 I love you, Max.

Speaker 89 No, I mean, we've just been going in circles.

Speaker 13 At the end of the day, Zach Wilson is the problem.

Speaker 137 I still think the Jets are a very good team, and they will probably win.

Speaker 148 Next week, Billy, if Zach Wilson doesn't torch that Bears' defense, like that will be a very big problem.

Speaker 104 Also, I think hopefully there's no wind.

Speaker 11 Also, he was so scared of throwing interceptions after the last game that when he was looking downfield, he was hesitant.

Speaker 115 But that is like, if that's an actual thing, then he's just never going to be the guy.

Speaker 11 But I think it's more of the whole the Belichick effect. I think it's it was too in his mind.

Speaker 30 The New York Times.

Speaker 53 is really cruel.

Speaker 30 Now, don't blame Belichick. Just blame the coin.
That actually makes more sense than any of the other stuff that you're saying.

Speaker 109 Okay.

Speaker 12 So Patriots are now,

Speaker 3 the Jets have just like the AFC East is insane.

Speaker 127 Every team is good.

Speaker 3 And the Patriots are now in third ahead of the Jets who fall to the last place spot.

Speaker 89 All right, let's do some more.

Speaker 26 Let's go to the next game, which actually is,

Speaker 161 there's a link between the Jets Patriots game and the Eagles Colts game because the Eagles win 17-16, and it was the first time the Eagles have won trailing by 10 points or more in the fourth quarter since the 2010 Deshaun Jackson walk-off punt return.

Speaker 138 Oh, that's true.

Speaker 44 Which was the first thing I thought of when the Patriots returned. I was like, oh, Deshaun Jackson, miracle at the Meadowlands.

Speaker 90 So Eagles survive.

Speaker 21 what looked like a game that they were going to lose because they played sloppy.

Speaker 77 The Colts came out, kind of punched him in the mouth.

Speaker 3 And Jeff Saturday, Jeff Saturday is our NFL coach.

Speaker 24 Oh, there was just some, they kept on showing clips of him doing push-ups and running around the stadium and all that stuff.

Speaker 74 But the Eagles survive, and it feels like one of those gritty wins that you need

Speaker 74 if you're going to continue marching forward if you're the Eagles.

Speaker 30 Yeah, yeah. I mean, the Colts continued to do what I think Saturday's going to have them do, which is just be cover machines.
Yeah. And they played physically.

Speaker 30 And I read that going into this game, that

Speaker 30 Saturday's his emphasis this week was just doing one-on-one drills and just making everybody tougher. Because

Speaker 30 we need to simplify everything. Football is a simple game.
We make it complicated sometimes. So he's just having them just work out.

Speaker 30 Just get stronger and then everybody will be better at their job. And so

Speaker 30 I got fucked up going to this game because it was a roof bet. It was a roof bet.
And Jim Ursai pulled the biggest okie-doke of all okie-dokes.

Speaker 30 I felt targeted by it, actually. He tweeted out that the roof was going to be open on Sunday.
And Jeff Saturday had had the boys training outside in the snow.

Speaker 30 And then like five minutes later, he put a psych on me and said, no, we're closing.

Speaker 164 Oh, it was brutal.

Speaker 30 I can't help but think that had something to do with the loss today. But no, I actually do think that the Colts are going to continue to be like super physical.
Maybe not like the most electric team.

Speaker 30 Probably won't put up the most points, but probably won't, they're not going to like roll over for anybody like they were before.

Speaker 27 First opening drive TD the Colts have had since Christmas of 2021.

Speaker 7 So that's, I mean, right there,

Speaker 24 they're showing competency that they haven't shown this entire season.

Speaker 23 And

Speaker 44 it does feel like they have, like, they're just playing a little bit harder, more disciplined.

Speaker 24 They still have huge flaws.

Speaker 26 Their offense, like, after that opening drive, they basically did nothing.

Speaker 44 Like, the longest drive they had was 34 yards after that.

Speaker 30 So, Matt Ryan still looks like a giant target back there.

Speaker 44 Right.

Speaker 3 And Jonathan Taylor, I mean, like, the Eagles' defense actually deserves a lot of credit because they got gashed on Monday Night Football against the Commanders. They got gashed in the opening drive.

Speaker 132 And then their run defense kind of stepped up, like, you know, nutted up and played really good for the rest of the game.

Speaker 4 And outside of the fumbles that they've had and like the costly penalties, like, you know, they were able to write the ship in the second half.

Speaker 44 Comeback win. Jalen Hurts come back, you know, makes the big plays with his feet.
I don't know.

Speaker 44 I feel like this is one of those games that like if the Colts, or sorry, if the Eagles had lost, I've been like, uh-oh, there's something wrong.

Speaker 99 And now I'm looking at it, which is stupid because it's all reactionary, being like, that's just a hard-nosed win that you've got to learn how to win those type of games if you're going to have, you know, Super Bowl aspirations.

Speaker 30 It definitely makes you feel better if you're an Eagles fan after that game, but still, I think there's some serious, there's some issues.

Speaker 3 I mean, the fumbles, like, they had another one where, I mean, AJ Brown had got punched out, but still, like, the costly turnovers, the costly penalties, like, it feels like.

Speaker 30 Well, their offense just also doesn't look as dynamic as it was.

Speaker 53 Yeah, they just beside the ball.

Speaker 165 Yeah,

Speaker 30 it looks a little like they're playing with cement shoes on. I didn't realize that Siriani was so emotionally attached to Frank Reich and that this had become a personal revenge game for him.

Speaker 30 I knew that they were boys, but I didn't realize, like, after the game, he was like screaming at Colts fans, being like, you know, that's for firing my boy. Yeah.

Speaker 30 And then at his press conference, he said, you don't want to know what I think, if he should be here or not. You guys can probably imagine what I really think.

Speaker 30 It was sweet to come here, especially with what happened in this organization the last couple weeks and get a win. I'm emotional because I love Frank Reich.

Speaker 30 He's one of the best damn football coaches I've ever been around. I was hoping he and I could coach against each other in this game.
So he's like really pissed off about it.

Speaker 30 Like it was actually, in fact, personal for Nick Siriani, who I think Nick Siriani is just like a very emotionally available guy.

Speaker 52 He is.

Speaker 61 He wears his heart on his sleeve.

Speaker 132 It feels like he's always in the middle of like having a temper tantrum slash cry fest.

Speaker 147 Yeah.

Speaker 52 It's just always there.

Speaker 30 It's kind of like when Max roots for the Eagles and he actually does look like he's going to cry because he's so excited.

Speaker 166 Right.

Speaker 23 And he's saying sad and he's just screaming shit.

Speaker 128 Max, how do you feel about this win?

Speaker 25 This was a gutsy win.

Speaker 10 I feel good.

Speaker 167 It was obviously a roller coaster of emotions. After the first drive, I was like, this run defense is done.
There's no way we're going to be able to stop anybody.

Speaker 167 We have Aaron Jones coming up and then Derrick Henry right after. And I was like, we're going to lose every single one of these games because we can't stop a single person on the run.

Speaker 167 And then out of nowhere, we just flipped the script and defense tightened up and everything looked good on the defensive side of the ball. And then the offense went stale.

Speaker 167 But at the end of the day, it was nice to see, like,

Speaker 167 you have the drive to win the game. And Siriani put the ball and Jalen Hurts, every big play was like, Hurts, you're going to go get these yards.
You're going to go get these yards.

Speaker 167 And it's nice to see your quarterback be put in those situations and like be outman, outman the other guy.

Speaker 27 Are you a little worried about Nick Siriani doing the

Speaker 3 trying to get them off sides?

Speaker 167 No one has ever been bailed out harder.

Speaker 53 Ever.

Speaker 98 So for people who didn't watch the game, there was a minute and I think 40 seconds left.

Speaker 90 Or no, it was actually at the two-minute warnings, right after the two-minute warnings.

Speaker 12 So there's two minutes left.

Speaker 25 The Eagles had two timeouts, and it was fourth and two on the eight-yard line.

Speaker 1 And so you're thinking to yourself, they got to obviously convert this.

Speaker 158 But if they don't, they still will have, I don't know, like 30 seconds left or whatever it may be.

Speaker 52 And Nick Siriani has the guys go to the line,

Speaker 25 look like they're about to kneel down or do a quarterback.

Speaker 167 Quarterback sneak, but it was like from the two and a half.

Speaker 30 They needed two and a a half yards right and the way they were set up was actually more in the

Speaker 17 victory formation they had like yeah two guys behind them that were facing jalen hurts right so then they call they they they uh call a timeout so now they have one timeout so basically if they don't get the fourth and two the game is over and it's a jalen hurts uh sneak where it looked like he was stopped and then he gets it They win the game.

Speaker 3 But yeah, that would have been a situation where Nick Siriani would have had some tough questions.

Speaker 1 He also had a drive, which

Speaker 111 I was baffled by where they got the ball on, I don't know, their own like 15, and he just ran the ball up the middle three times and punted.

Speaker 50 It was like in the third quarter, and it feels like it feels like something about the play calling, like, what's going on?

Speaker 167 It was one of the, I, you, you screamed at me from the cave about

Speaker 53 the drive.

Speaker 83 I made you come in because I was going to be mad at you.

Speaker 167 It was one of those, it was like, we have to.

Speaker 30 Put the camera on yourself, Max.

Speaker 167 We have eight different TVs on, and it was one of those things where it was, we got the ball back. I was like, all right, let's go on a drive.
I like look over at another TV for a second.

Speaker 167 I'm like, what the fuck is going on? We're punting. And then you were just like, they just ran three times right into the middle of the game.

Speaker 104 I was pissed.

Speaker 50 And

Speaker 24 I needed you to sit next to me so I could play on you.

Speaker 46 And guess what?

Speaker 145 I didn't even bet on the Eagles in that game.

Speaker 50 I just, this is where the Super Bowl future actually pays off.

Speaker 129 That I feel invested game by game being like the one seeds on the line.

Speaker 53 So you're off the hook. I think

Speaker 30 on those play calls, it wasn't so much about the play call itself, but I think they were all read options. I think that Hurts was misreading the read option a lot today.
Yeah.

Speaker 30 which is, I don't know if it was something different that the Colts were doing that they weren't expecting for, but he was like consistently making the wrong decision on whether to keep it or whether to hand it off.

Speaker 30 It just brought their entire offense to a standstill. Luckily,

Speaker 30 I think Indomic and Sue might work out.

Speaker 126 Yeah, and Lindvald Joseph, who I didn't realize they got two.

Speaker 30 I think Indomic and Sue might still be a fucking monster.

Speaker 115 And they still get Jordan Davis back.

Speaker 30 When Sue tackles somebody, it looks like a crime. It looks violent.
He tackles people in ways that you don't necessarily see coming or other people do.

Speaker 30 It looks like a small car crash every time it happens.

Speaker 109 Yes.

Speaker 115 Yeah, it was weird seeing him out there.

Speaker 126 It's like, oh, shit.

Speaker 113 Yeah, he is back.

Speaker 146 What is he wearing? 74?

Speaker 30 74.

Speaker 81 It looks big.

Speaker 98 That's an offensive line. That's a bad number.

Speaker 53 Yeah,

Speaker 30 it's a bad number, but it makes him look big, though. Yeah.

Speaker 127 Chunky boy.

Speaker 111 All right, so last thing I had about this game, I think it should just be a rule in the world that if you cry, basically cry on TV, you can't can't just pretend it didn't happen and reverse your ways uh i'm talking about bill cower bill cower said today before i think it was in the pregame and at halftime he said you can see the immediate impact of jeff saturday on this cults team bill cower

Speaker 131 you cried last week because you cried you cried in front of us it's like the uh it's like the the the mark brunel like mark brunel i remember when you cried like you can't cry on national television they just be like no that wasn't me i didn't cry last week yeah uh he did cry and i believe he said it's a disgrace to to the coaching profession.

Speaker 30 He listed guys that were on that staff. He listed Gus Bradley.
I don't know if Bill Cower has ever watched the NFL. Yeah.
Gus Bradley had a pretty good shot at being a head coach.

Speaker 30 I think he had four years. I think he averaged like three wins a season.
I think we have a pretty good idea what Gus Bradley can do.

Speaker 17 And did he list John Fox?

Speaker 30 He listed John Fox.

Speaker 27 Who has been in the NFL for 40 years?

Speaker 37 Yep.

Speaker 27 And he's had more than enough chances.

Speaker 30 He got a good idea. I think Bill Cower just got mad because his buddies didn't get a job.
Right.

Speaker 121 And he, I know he didn't actually, there weren't actual tears, but he cried because you could see, like, you could hear in his voice.

Speaker 3 And they did the thing that I love whenever we get serious tone on these pregame shows because it basically was like most of these pregame shows, it's like you say something for 30 seconds, you say something for 30 seconds, Terry Bradshaw laughs, you know,

Speaker 130 kicked to Carissa, right?

Speaker 148 This was like two and a half minutes of Bill Cower just getting the camera and nothing else.

Speaker 1 Like everyone was sitting there doing their, hmm, hmm, yeah, hmm.

Speaker 53 Good point.

Speaker 94 Good point, coach.

Speaker 19 Good point, coach.

Speaker 37 You cried.

Speaker 75 That's a cry speech.

Speaker 21 And then you pretend it didn't happen.

Speaker 30 When it goes to the solo shot on you, and you're not, you're talking to the camera.

Speaker 116 Yes, yes.

Speaker 30 Because sometimes guys get little monologues where they get to talk about something that's important to them, but they always do the weird thing where they reach out and they like

Speaker 69 they touch the person's arm in the middle of it.

Speaker 30 They're like, listen, I think the jets got a great defense now this year, but they got to figure out an offense and then they reach out and touch each other back. This was just like Bill Cower.

Speaker 30 And he didn't cry, but his chin started to quiver a little bit.

Speaker 75 Yeah, no, it was, again, it was a cry.

Speaker 17 I don't even think Bill Cower can produce tears.

Speaker 1 Actually, no, he is a cry coach.

Speaker 52 He definitely is a cry coach.

Speaker 106 Oop, Chargers just scored.

Speaker 30 Too much time on the clock for Patrick Murray.

Speaker 105 Too much time on the clock for Patrick Mahal.

Speaker 69 I'll have to tweet that.

Speaker 141 But, yeah, it was.

Speaker 110 I just was shocked.

Speaker 137 I was shocked that Bill Cower thought he could get away with just saying you could see the impact that Jeff Saturday.

Speaker 131 You made a take.

Speaker 94 Just own it. That's fine.

Speaker 40 You were wrong.

Speaker 84 You cried. You can't take those tears back.

Speaker 30 Well, I actually think that Jim Ursa is a secret genius for hiring Jeff Saturday because it turns out Jim Ursa was right that he doesn't have all the baggage that comes along with being an NFL head coach where you're afraid of stuff.

Speaker 69 So it's like, yeah, just hire more.

Speaker 30 I actually bet that if you had a competent offensive coordinator and defensive coordinator, you could just hire straight up a raw raw guy that didn't necessarily have any experience coaching, but was like the ultimate motivator.

Speaker 30 Dude, Gary Vee.

Speaker 30 Imagine Gary Vee.

Speaker 95 The quarterback would be pretending they kill themselves every morning.

Speaker 30 The quarterback would be playing like it was literally their last chance to

Speaker 40 kill your whole family every morning when you're in the shower.

Speaker 30 I think Gary Vee would be a competent head coach if he had a good offensive staff around him.

Speaker 3 It is true, though, that there is something to be said that Jeff Saturday does not care.

Speaker 53 He obviously cares that he wants to win, but it's not like his entire profession, his entire what he's worked for is this moment.

Speaker 115 And if he fails, it's like, oh, my God, what am I going to do?

Speaker 24 He's just going to go back to TV.

Speaker 93 So he's fine. He's easy.

Speaker 148 But yeah, the Colts are officially one of the friskiest teams in the end.

Speaker 44 I feel like they're not going to win a lot of games.

Speaker 51 They're going to be in every game.

Speaker 30 I'm going to stick betting on Jeff Saturday until he proves me wrong.

Speaker 44 Yeah, Monday Night Football against the Steelers coming up. All right.

Speaker 168 Hey, 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 168 For non-stop plans, Abercrombie has the pieces to curate your perfect seasonal wardrobe, sweaters and denim for casual plans, party dresses for nights out, and comfy matching sets for everything in between.

Speaker 168 Keep the chaos cute this season in Abercrombie. Shop their new holiday outfits in the app online or in stores.

Speaker 151 Okay, Bills 31 Browns 23 in Detroit.

Speaker 36 The Thunder Snow.

Speaker 121 We got to see all the videos.

Speaker 3 It was like...

Speaker 44 It was like extracting Marines from a hostile area when we've got to see all these videos of Bills players finding a way out of Buffalo.

Speaker 30 I actually think that this game ball goes to Bills fans. Yes.
Because we had Bills fans that would just show up. I guess they just know where the Bills live in their neighborhood.

Speaker 130 Well, I think it's just right down the street.

Speaker 30 Yeah, everybody lives probably in the same neighborhood. So they showed up, dug them out of their own driveways.
And it was no joke. It was probably like, I don't know, four, five, six feet of snow.

Speaker 30 And shout out to the weather people out there. The meteorologists got it right.
When I saw six feet of snow, I was like, this is going to be like maybe six inches.

Speaker 67 Right.

Speaker 30 Like, trust me, I know a lot of times when people say it's going to be six feet, it's quite a bit under six feet. Right.
But in this case, it was actually accurately predicted by the weather people.

Speaker 30 Six feet isn't part of Buffalo. And then the north side of town, I think, got like nothing.

Speaker 148 Yeah, no, that's how it works in Buffalo.

Speaker 64 You can basically live in a different place where half the team just didn't have to deal with anything.

Speaker 93 The other half had to deal.

Speaker 44 Who was it?

Speaker 115 The offensive lineman that the video that went viral of him opening up the garage door and his dog just having to take a piss and being like nowhere to go.

Speaker 46 Just absolutely nowhere to go.

Speaker 137 It was fucking insane.

Speaker 3 So yeah, the Bills got there.

Speaker 164 They

Speaker 13 stupid us. Deion Dawkins.

Speaker 44 Deion Dawkins.

Speaker 24 Stupid us.

Speaker 100 We should have had like a little bit of foresight.

Speaker 3 And I know this is hindsight is 2020, but long week for the Bills.

Speaker 5 Getting there was very difficult.

Speaker 27 All these pressures, like you have to worry about your family being snowed in, all these things.

Speaker 83 And they came out flat.

Speaker 148 Like they looked like shit for the first quarter.

Speaker 145 And the Browns do what the Browns do in the first quarter.

Speaker 104 They always have a great scripted drive where you're like, wow, the Browns look good today.

Speaker 106 And then the Bills basically, so the first quarter they went 15 yards for three points. The next three quarters, they went 342 yards for 28 points.

Speaker 8 So the Bills, like there was a moment in time on Sunday where I was like, are the Bills and Eagles both bad?

Speaker 26 And then they both kind of righted the ship, and the Bills, especially so, their offense looked great in that last drive in the first half, and it was like, yeah, they're back.

Speaker 30 So bad news for the AFC because the Bills figured out how to run the football. Yeah.
And so that's a single turn.

Speaker 30 That's a nice little wrinkle that they don't have to depend on Josh Allen to be like a superhero and basically like robocop and run people over all the time.

Speaker 30 They can now actually just hand the ball off and control the clock that way, which their defense has got to be pretty excited about. Yes.
Not having to be out on the field all the time.

Speaker 69 Big time.

Speaker 30 And it gives them a different look. And so

Speaker 30 defenses can't do the thing that they've been doing against Josh Allen, which is trying to take it away. Sometimes it works.
Sometimes it doesn't if he doesn't run you over.

Speaker 30 But this is a big win, I think, for the Bills because it was a weird week for them.

Speaker 81 Yeah, it was really weird.

Speaker 30 It was a really strange week. I think it just cements that they're.

Speaker 30 I'm not pressing the panic button. No, I mean, we're getting close to talking about the panic button for the Bills, but last week was kind of a fluky loss at the very end.

Speaker 30 And this week, it just kind of proved that the Bills are legit. And also, credit to Stefanski for actually just running the football, even when they're getting their ass kicked.

Speaker 33 Yeah. Later on, oh, yeah.

Speaker 83 And the Bills, that was the other part.

Speaker 130 The Bills ran the ball and they stopped the run.

Speaker 91 Yeah. Like,

Speaker 24 Nick Chubb had had 14 carries for 19 yards.

Speaker 12 Yep. That's pretty hard to do against one of the best running backs in the NFL.

Speaker 52 And yeah, the Bills, I do, I agree.

Speaker 83 I wasn't, I don't think the panic button was ready.

Speaker 88 If they had lost this game, it definitely would have been because they would have been three in a row and everything looks bad.

Speaker 50 Now they have a short week.

Speaker 119 I assume like they should just stay in Detroit.

Speaker 53 I don't know if they are.

Speaker 30 Well, Jared, Jared is led.

Speaker 104 Right.

Speaker 143 We've linked that up.

Speaker 26 And so now they have another chance against the Lions team that's starting to look decent

Speaker 130 to basically like

Speaker 18 if you can if you can win the Sunday Thursday combo there's like it feels like you've won four games in a row yeah because you win games that and especially a Sunday at noon like what we're gonna or sorry a Thursday at noon like they will win if they can beat the Lions on Thanksgiving Day they'll have won two games in what feels like two days.

Speaker 30 Yeah, then you get the mini-buy after that. Yeah.
And you're good to go.

Speaker 30 Yeah, the Bills, I still think the Bills are the team to beat in the AFC right now.

Speaker 131 Yeah, well, the Chiefs,

Speaker 132 Patrick Mahomes is just, he's stupid.

Speaker 81 And they fall. He's dumb.

Speaker 142 He's stupid in just how good that throw he made tonight where the guy was completely covered and he basically turned around and the ball was just in his hands.

Speaker 23 Like, he just makes throws that are absolutely insane. This game is pretty good.

Speaker 142 Should we talk about this game?

Speaker 26 One last thing with the Bills Browns as we wait for the Chiefs Chargers to come back on.

Speaker 115 Sports Illustrated tweeting, Amari Cooper is him after he scored the first touchdown of the game.

Speaker 138 That's it. It's over.

Speaker 19 I know you said you had a point in like the week three when someone did something, but like calling Amari Cooper him for scoring in the first five minutes of the Bills Browns game in week 11 for a Browns team that has three wins, that's it.

Speaker 69 No more. Anyone can be him.

Speaker 30 No more. Even Amari Cooper.

Speaker 169 Yeah.

Speaker 30 For me, it was that it was during the Eagles Vikings game, the Monday Night Football game, and it was like, who is more him? Stephon Diggs or Jalen Hurts?

Speaker 30 When I heard somebody say, oh, and that's the time.

Speaker 104 And then the Chiefs just scored a time.

Speaker 30 The Chiefs just scored too much time for Justin Herbert.

Speaker 160 This is...

Speaker 112 Patrick Mahomes is so fucking ridiculous.

Speaker 30 I'm mad that Kansas City Chiefs fans get Patrick Mahomes and I don't.

Speaker 110 It's not fair.

Speaker 30 It's not.

Speaker 36 It's actually.

Speaker 30 Every team should get Patrick Mahomes to play for them.

Speaker 2 Could you imagine going into every Sunday and being like, well, like, even if we suck, like, Mahomes will figure it out.

Speaker 16 That's what they get to do. Yeah.

Speaker 110 Every Sunday. Like,

Speaker 16 the Chiefs fumble the ball with two and a half or four minutes left.

Speaker 12 The Chargers go down, score, take the lead.

Speaker 17 There's a minute and a half left, and it wasn't even a question.

Speaker 120 It wasn't even a question.

Speaker 30 I bet you, if you put Patrick Mahomes as the quarterback for every team that was losing at the start of the fourth quarter, those teams would end up winning like 80% of the time.

Speaker 53 Yeah.

Speaker 131 It's crazy.

Speaker 83 It's not fair.

Speaker 3 It's not fair Chiefs fans get to root for him for this long and like how good he is.

Speaker 110 That's all I got about it.

Speaker 30 No, I mean, I'm upset. I'm very upset with him.

Speaker 26 Anything else from this game while we talk about it?

Speaker 130 I mean, the Chargers did look good.

Speaker 143 Justin Herbert did look awesome, but it's like the most typical Chargers game of all time.

Speaker 30 Yeah, Kelsey's a beast. Kadarius Toney out in the second half with a hamstring injury.
Basically, Kadarius Toney is out in the second half with being Kadarius Toney.

Speaker 44 Correct. But

Speaker 132 this is the perfect Chargers game where you even had Mike Williams and Keenan Allen come back.

Speaker 7 Mike Williams then went out with an injury.

Speaker 148 They looked great coming out of the game.

Speaker 130 Like, oh, shit, the Chargers are going to beat the Chiefs.

Speaker 1 I feel like we've watched this Chargers game a hundred times.

Speaker 87 Justin Herbert makes a few wow throws.

Speaker 48 You get...

Speaker 44 tantalized by how good the Chargers could be.

Speaker 1 Yes, yes.

Speaker 30 You come out of the game and then even if they lose. Yeah, like the Chargers are good.
The Chargers, I believe in this Chargers team.

Speaker 30 Brandon Staley, I'm surprised he didn't try to do this on that last drive.

Speaker 35 Well, there are three timeouts. They should say.

Speaker 1 The Chargers have three timeouts with 31 seconds left.

Speaker 62 On that last drive, they have Dicker the kicker.

Speaker 53 And they have Dicker the Kicker.

Speaker 30 On that last drive,

Speaker 30 I would think Brandon Staley would be the guy that would do

Speaker 30 a time-wasting thing and take it down to the last three seconds of the game and then give his guys a shot to just run the ball into the end zone to win the game.

Speaker 30 So there's actually not any time on the clock for Patrick Mahomes. You're basically playing against two people at that point, Patrick Mahomes and also the clock.
clock.

Speaker 30 And so, Staley, he needs to figure out, because it does feel like this happens to the Chargers all the time. All the time.

Speaker 13 All the time. And this will probably, like, yep, the sack.

Speaker 159 So there goes one timeout.

Speaker 44 I bet you they're going to get like one big throw and maybe even a fumble. Like, a big throw where the guy's just running down the sideline, looks like he's going to win the game and he just fumbles.

Speaker 106 It's like, oh, Chargers could have won that game.

Speaker 4 They're the most frustrating team.

Speaker 141 ever.

Speaker 53 Yeah. They might be.

Speaker 30 Well, because they always have the heavy burden of expectations on them.

Speaker 83 And they also have

Speaker 27 a reasonably fun team.

Speaker 3 Like, they have guys that are fun to watch.

Speaker 54 Like, Austin Eckler is fun to watch.

Speaker 36 Bose is fun to watch.

Speaker 44 They just.

Speaker 23 Derwin James, when he's playing, like, fun to watch.

Speaker 114 Justin Herbert throwing lasers.

Speaker 7 And it just never materializes into wins.

Speaker 30 Yeah. Keenan Allen, I think, is the most underrated wide receiver in the NFL.

Speaker 27 And when anyone says, like, oh, man, if the Chargers had gotten into the playoffs, watch out for them.

Speaker 16 No, not watch out for them. They would have gotten in the playoffs and lost by three in a game they were winning.

Speaker 1 That's how every Chargers game goes.

Speaker 79 Herbert.

Speaker 33 Oh, that should have been a good thing.

Speaker 62 And that's the interception that's game over.

Speaker 8 Okay. The Chiefs win.

Speaker 148 Chiefs are the best team in the NFL.

Speaker 51 I'm confident in saying that.

Speaker 23 I still like the Benjamin. Anyone want to say anything to the contrary?

Speaker 30 I still like the Bills.

Speaker 37 The Bills are just as

Speaker 77 they're like one little notch in terms of how they're playing right this second.

Speaker 3 Because obviously the Bills went to Kansas City and beat them.

Speaker 150 But

Speaker 133 I just feel like the Chiefs have had.

Speaker 117 I don't know.

Speaker 95 they're just so fucking good.

Speaker 44 Mahomes is so goddamn good.

Speaker 95 He's so consistently good.

Speaker 30 I need the Bills to host the AFC Championship game.

Speaker 86 That's what I need.

Speaker 50 I think that's where I land.

Speaker 3 Peak Josh Allen doing his Josh Allen stuff can beat Patrick Mahomes.

Speaker 30 In Buffalo with that crowd.

Speaker 22 But when he's, if there's a little, if it's a little less than peak, Patrick Mahomes is so consistently great that it's like Chiefs no matter what.

Speaker 23 Yep.

Speaker 82 Okay.

Speaker 71 Anything from that game, Hank?

Speaker 10 You're not happy.

Speaker 138 I was shocked when you told me that you didn't take the dog.

Speaker 116 It wouldn't have mattered.

Speaker 40 Yeah.

Speaker 156 Well,

Speaker 141 the dog covered.

Speaker 100 I would have. Yeah, but not on the 2005.

Speaker 72 Five and a half.

Speaker 55 No, you do money line.

Speaker 32 Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 54 Yeah. Spreads don't matter.

Speaker 116 No. Yeah.

Speaker 116 Nor does weather.

Speaker 44 Yeah, nor does weather.

Speaker 111 Okay, so anything else?

Speaker 143 Bills, Browns? No, the Bills are back.

Speaker 4 The Browns suck.

Speaker 124 They're just waiting for Deshaun Watson.

Speaker 137 It's going to be really awkward when he comes here.

Speaker 51 So we got, what, one more week?

Speaker 126 Yeah, it's one more week and he's back.

Speaker 30 It's going to be very awkward for everybody. It's going to be.

Speaker 30 Are we just going to pretend like everything is cool?

Speaker 1 I think so.

Speaker 55 Okay. I think that's good.

Speaker 30 As long as we're all on the same page, I think that's just what...

Speaker 130 I think that's what we've all just...

Speaker 62 Yeah.

Speaker 30 Yeah, I'm just going to be like, okay.

Speaker 21 I don't really know what, like, what...

Speaker 30 This pervert.

Speaker 91 Yeah, we're going to make fun of him.

Speaker 132 Yeah.

Speaker 21 And we're going to remind people he's a pervert, but yeah, I don't know.

Speaker 23 I'm not going to stop watching the NFL.

Speaker 53 So this is kind of a moral crisis we're dealing with here if we really want to dig deep down.

Speaker 117 You could put...

Speaker 111 Anything will get us to stop watching the NFL.

Speaker 55 You could put...

Speaker 10 Yeah.

Speaker 30 If Putin was a quarterback, I would

Speaker 72 put up dumbies.

Speaker 30 He would, yeah. You'd be afraid to

Speaker 157 play. I mean,

Speaker 30 have you seen him on the rink? Yeah.

Speaker 41 He's a beast.

Speaker 138 Yeah.

Speaker 113 But yeah, I think that's kind of why Roger Goodell gets to do whatever he wants because he knows idiots like us are like, we could talk a game.

Speaker 53 Dude, we're going to watch the game.

Speaker 30 They could have Deshaun Watson play a game in like Sweden at 7 o'clock in the morning. And

Speaker 30 I'm DVRing it. Oh, shit.
I'm watching the all-24 game. First game in Sweden.
Yeah, first game in Sweden.

Speaker 30 I wonder what the Sweden national anthem is going to look like it'd be amazing it'd be the pageantry would be incredible

Speaker 103 we were talking about before the show your fandom is going to be tested this week because you have the 3 a.m thursday game that's true in cutter oh yeah the the whole like middle east time that's something i'm not even prepared for patriots vikings i believe it's usually 30 day on our time

Speaker 30 i i i might actually that's kind of what i did when i was in hong kong yeah it's going to be it's going to be a mental battle for me for sure i think my plan is i just get up in the middle of the night i i go to take a piss and i check the score and then i fall back asleep.

Speaker 44 That's the plan right there.

Speaker 53 Yeah, that's good.

Speaker 4 That actually sounds like a perfect plan.

Speaker 97 Yeah.

Speaker 123 Commanders, Texans, Commanders 23, Texans 10.

Speaker 14 PFT, Taylor Heineke is good, and the Commanders

Speaker 53 are good. I think they're going to make the playoffs.

Speaker 30 They could.

Speaker 30 It's tough to say because we're playing as the Texans.

Speaker 12 Yeah, but I think they're going to make the playoffs.

Speaker 83 I want to hear what you have to say about the game, but I'll give you the path.

Speaker 30 Yeah, so I know that we have a path for sure because we have to beat the Giants.

Speaker 12 If you beat the Giants,

Speaker 30 the last we have to beat the Falcons, we have to beat the Giants.

Speaker 12 If the Giants and if either the Giants sweep the Commanders or the Commanders sweep the Giants, the winner of those two games is going to go.

Speaker 44 Yeah.

Speaker 44 That's pretty much how it's going to shake out.

Speaker 30 Yeah, so I did not realize this, but this is the first time under Ron Rivera that the Commanders have had a winning record, like after week two. Whoa.
So that's kind of crazy.

Speaker 30 Even when we made the playoffs, we were like six and nine, then

Speaker 30 I think we were like five and maybe even five and nine, six and nine, then seven and nine. You remember that game against the Eagles to end the season? Yes.
Where they put in Nate Sudfeld?

Speaker 30 So we've never had a winning record under him before. So this is kind of foreign territory.
Taylor Heineke continues to, I think now he actually might have the best record of any starting quarterback

Speaker 30 on the Commanders in their history under Dan Snyder besides Alex Smith. I think he's now surpassed Kirk Cousins.
So he looks good. He does everything right.

Speaker 30 I think that he's what this team needs because obviously whatever it was that Carson Wentz was bringing to the table from like an emotional standpoint wasn't really working.

Speaker 30 But the way that Heineke plays, I think he's the rear guy that people do play better around him. Yeah.
Like if Zach Wilson had like a tenth of the dog

Speaker 30 that Taylor Heineke had in him, then the Jets would be in a much, much better place right now.

Speaker 30 And we get Chase Young back next week. Yes.
Which I'm excited about, but I'm also a little apprehensive about because our defensive line is kicking ass right now.

Speaker 30 And we're doing it without Chase Young. Just bring him in for third down.
And also, Chase Young, he just looks awesome on the sidelines as the cheerleader. Yeah.

Speaker 30 He's really, he finds his way into like every group on the sidelines, always hyping everybody up. He's always got a cool hat on.

Speaker 30 He seems like a good teammate to have full-time cheerleader on the sidelines. But he's also a pretty good football player, so I'm pumped to get him back out there.
But I do think it's like

Speaker 30 I think it's like 60-40 that we make the playoffs now in my own brain.

Speaker 8 6-5,

Speaker 140 I did the little calculus in my head.

Speaker 124 If you even split the Giants, win against the Falcons, win against the Giants, loss against the Giants, loss against the 49ers, win against the Browns, loss against the Cowboys, you'd be 9-8.

Speaker 44 I think 9-8 is going to probably get that seventh spot.

Speaker 17 Unless the Seahawks and the 49ers

Speaker 117 get to 9-10 wins, I think 9-8 would get you.

Speaker 3 And then if you beat the Giants, if you could beat the Giants who are fading, and we'll talk about them next,

Speaker 115 you would almost assuredly get in the playoffs.

Speaker 36 Yeah. If you go 2-0 against the Giants.

Speaker 30 It's kind of a weird position to be in. I don't really know.
I don't know how to handle myself. And

Speaker 30 the team starting to come together and play exciting football right as Dan Snyder is stepping away from the... I don't think that's a coincidence at all.

Speaker 30 I think that it kind of lifted a little bit of a weight, like it did for me as a fan. I'll tell you straight up.
But also for the team, I actually think that it does make a difference.

Speaker 30 I think it's like, okay, we don't have to deal with this massive distraction all the time in the future. Let's just worry about playing football.

Speaker 25 It just dawned on me that there is

Speaker 3 not, I wouldn't say a good chance, but there's a chance that in this room I'm the only one who doesn't make the playoffs.

Speaker 155 I just realized that. Oh, man.
That would suck.

Speaker 25 I would like someone to join me

Speaker 132 in not making the playoffs.

Speaker 146 That would be awful.

Speaker 95 The Jets. You pointed to the Jets.

Speaker 44 All right.

Speaker 101 As long as someone, so that I'm not the guy, is like everyone else got their fucking big playoff game, and I'm just sitting there like, well, this fucking sucks.

Speaker 30 I'm starting to run into an existential crisis with a running back position because I do love Brian Robinson

Speaker 30 and the story that he's had this year. But also, Antonio Gibson just seems like a much more dynamic running back at times.
Like, Brian Robinson is great when he's just running into people's faces.

Speaker 30 That's pretty cool. But Antonio Gibson, he can get, you know, 12, 13 yards at a clip.
But on the other hand, it's like, I don't want to root against the guy that got shot.

Speaker 62 Right. You know? Right.

Speaker 30 So I'm juggling that in my mind.

Speaker 113 Here's how you got to do it in your mind.

Speaker 119 Brian Robinson softens up the defense. Yeah.

Speaker 23 Because he just mashes them.

Speaker 157 Yeah. And then Antonio Gibson gets easier.

Speaker 30 It's the old Thunder and Lightning.

Speaker 53 Yes, yes.

Speaker 30 Yeah, I like that. Or Eaton Run.
That was the Lindale White and Chris Johnson.

Speaker 53 Yeah.

Speaker 30 Best defensive or best running backfield nickname of all time.

Speaker 3 Brian Robinson is basically loosening up the jar.

Speaker 88 Antonio Gibson to open it up and be like, look, that was easy.

Speaker 30 Smash and dash.

Speaker 92 Yeah, right.

Speaker 106 It's pretty good.

Speaker 55 It works, yeah.

Speaker 30 Okay, no, that's good. I feel better about that now.
There's a place for both these guys.

Speaker 149 Yeah, there is.

Speaker 3 And the Texans just suck.

Speaker 138 Davis Mills, oh, my God.

Speaker 116 Jets would not be in the playoffs as of right now.

Speaker 72 If the season ended now,

Speaker 116 Cincinnati would be seven. New England.

Speaker 115 Well, the Commanders wouldn't be in right now either.

Speaker 10 Right.

Speaker 15 I'm just saying, like, there's a world

Speaker 88 where enough things can happen where, like, all your teams are very much alive.

Speaker 117 And, you know, obviously Max and Jake are more than alive.

Speaker 138 So

Speaker 30 that would suck. Max is definitely going to make the playoffs.
Jake, you're definitely going to make it.

Speaker 30 You two. I'm not so sure about you two.

Speaker 30 Jake and Billy. You two.

Speaker 53 You're two reps. You two.

Speaker 30 I don't know what's going to happen with y'all, but your team's.

Speaker 30 They could go either way.

Speaker 11 Coyne says we make it. That's right.

Speaker 105 I forgot about the coin.

Speaker 30 So all this talk about the playoffs is making me terrified as a Commanders fan. So let's just say I'm optimistic right now.
Left hand is firmly raised, and I'm just happy to be here. Yeah.

Speaker 30 I'm happy to be here right now. Having a winning record, and Taylor Heineke, and people are asking questions about Taylor, is he the guy for the rest of the season? Rivera said, yes, he's

Speaker 30 the guy. It makes complete sense.

Speaker 20 And it makes also like a world of difference, like, knowing that you don't have to, like, that's credit to Ron Rivera.

Speaker 67 You don't have to play this stupid game.

Speaker 140 Yeah.

Speaker 61 Of, like, oh, Carson Wentz, he is technically like, you know, the first-round draft pick and gets paid a lot of money.

Speaker 143 We got to play him.

Speaker 109 No, no, no.

Speaker 30 Taylor Heineke's team. Yeah, they had to have a word with Heineke because he got caught drinking beer on the airplane on the way back last week.
And so I think they fined him.

Speaker 30 I think guys should be allowed to drink beer on the airplane.

Speaker 114 Titans, offensive coordinator.

Speaker 164 Okay,

Speaker 30 I think you should be allowed to drink beer on the airplane as long as you promise not to drive.

Speaker 53 Drive after. Okay, yeah.

Speaker 104 Like, okay, we're all adults here, right?

Speaker 30 Are you going to make me fly sober after I just played an NFL game and won? Yeah, the Titans.

Speaker 134 The offensive coordinator got a DUI for people who don't know after the win against the Packers.

Speaker 30 Yeah, but I think that's cruel and unusual punishment. If you just won a Monday Night Football game, you should be allowed to have a six-pack of beer.

Speaker 156 Yeah.

Speaker 30 We're all adults, right? This is America. I thought this was America.

Speaker 40 Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 23 It's true. This is America.

Speaker 51 I don't...

Speaker 30 This has nothing to do with anything but the can't lose parlay cash for the fourth straight week, Hank.

Speaker 30 Congratulations.

Speaker 33 Have the hungry dog?

Speaker 116 Oh, no, went on three.

Speaker 11 I was choosing which one. Shit.
I was going to take one today. I chose the hungry dog.

Speaker 30 Oh.

Speaker 11 And I was like in that split second.

Speaker 34 I was like, shush. Damn.

Speaker 116 Damn. Let me stop being a bitch and take both.

Speaker 141 Oh, wow. Wow.

Speaker 11 I responsibly take one parlay. Okay.

Speaker 107 Nice.

Speaker 78 Yeah.

Speaker 3 The Texans.

Speaker 44 Oh, last thing I wanted to say about

Speaker 53 the commander.

Speaker 116 Your karma's going to come for you.

Speaker 17 What the fuck is that supposed to mean?

Speaker 116 You just, you win a couple can't lose parlays and then all of a sudden.

Speaker 40 I've won four in a row. I can't lose.

Speaker 154 If you hadn't won the can't lose parlays, it's

Speaker 141 going to be brand new.

Speaker 111 I would love to go to last year when Hank was like, I'm the best gambler in the world.

Speaker 40 I didn't say.

Speaker 66 Hungry dog cashed again.

Speaker 145 You were

Speaker 40 jealous. You were jealous.

Speaker 80 No, no. I watched you.

Speaker 94 Listen, if I can't lose it.

Speaker 116 I didn't say Big Cat has the can't-lose parlay one because you wouldn't have.

Speaker 62 Oh, yeah. You always did.

Speaker 116 I didn't rub it in your face. I didn't say Big Cat was the last time Can't Lose Parlay one.
It's just funny how you win like two in a row, and all of a sudden, all of a sudden

Speaker 116 the chirp birds start counting. Up on the air.
Yeah, I just need to win one hungry dog parlay and not be up on the air.

Speaker 40 That's how it works.

Speaker 83 We're 11 weeks in, buddy. Yeah.

Speaker 47 We're 11 weeks in.

Speaker 116 Plus 1,500 coming next week.

Speaker 30 Hank, can you imagine if you had taken the Broncos Raiders game to end in a tie at regulation?

Speaker 10 I would have lost.

Speaker 61 Because he went over three on the other ones.

Speaker 30 Oh, because your other ones didn't hit.

Speaker 116 Well, no, but that also.

Speaker 6 Oh, really? Oh, in regulation.

Speaker 30 At the end of regulation,

Speaker 30 that was a winner. That was a winner.

Speaker 30 Yeah. Is there any way that you could be more like us?

Speaker 13 I bet the hungry dog every week.

Speaker 116 And we're due. Okay.
Plus 1500.

Speaker 53 Keep saying that.

Speaker 30 I think you've changed, Hank. Yeah.
I think your methodology's changed.

Speaker 116 No, I mean, next week we'll be in Hoboken. So I feel much better about it.

Speaker 138 Oh, okay. Yeah.

Speaker 127 That will change everything.

Speaker 6 Oh, what did I say? The Commanders.

Speaker 128 This was actually like a classic letdown spot

Speaker 5 where the Texans are dog shit, but the Commanders just beat the last undefeated team in the NFL on Monday Night Football.

Speaker 88 Huge win.

Speaker 133 Then they have to go back on the road to Houston.

Speaker 109 Short rest.

Speaker 46 You get credit in my mind for not falling for those flat spots.

Speaker 30 There are certain things that you have to check off to be able to consider yourself a good team. One would be like a statement win, which is what we had last week.

Speaker 30 And then the next one is blowing out a team that you're supposed to blow out. Right.
And we we just blew the Texans, right? We just went down there and we went down and we blew them. Yep.

Speaker 30 And so that's what we had to do. Check that one off the list.
I think the next one is win a scrappy divisional game. So that would be the Giants game.
Yep.

Speaker 30 And again, now I don't know what I can talk myself into for the Falcons game this week, but that's the next one on the list that I feel like to take that step to becoming an actual good team, you have to do this sort of thing.

Speaker 138 I like that. That's actually a good

Speaker 143 follow

Speaker 146 these rules here, and you can

Speaker 125 consider good.

Speaker 44 Okay, next up, Lions, Giants.

Speaker 12 Lions 31, Giants, 18.

Speaker 3 I'd like to apologize to Dan Campbell.

Speaker 24 I wasn't calling for his job, but I was saying his job might be in jeopardy.

Speaker 96 I don't think that's the case anymore.

Speaker 8 Three in a row, first time since 2017.

Speaker 95 He follows up his first road victory as a head coach by winning his next road game the next week.

Speaker 76 And the Lions, they're back to like the scrappy Lions.

Speaker 24 They've won three in a row.

Speaker 3 They have a huge game against the Bills.

Speaker 13 Like, just think about this for a second.

Speaker 44 If the Lions somehow beat the Bills on Thanksgiving Day,

Speaker 44 that's going to be, holy shit, what's up with this Lions team?

Speaker 3 Like, this Lions team might be,

Speaker 12 they could somehow get into the playoffs because the NFC, the bottom of the NFC, is that bad.

Speaker 103 What's the favorable schedule, too? Yeah.

Speaker 30 What's the Lions' recent record on Thanksgiving?

Speaker 30 How used to Lions fans?

Speaker 30 Are they used to winning on Thanksgiving?

Speaker 120 I want to say they beat the Bears a couple years ago.

Speaker 112 I I feel like the Bears played them so many times the last five years.

Speaker 30 I would just like to know what it's like being a Lions fan and what your Thanksgiving...

Speaker 24 Did you guys Daniel beat them, though?

Speaker 30 What that entire setup is like for you guys? Your traditions on Thanksgiving. Do you eat before you watch the game?

Speaker 30 Do you get up early and get drunk before?

Speaker 30 And then eat afterwards? Do you have a big breakfast, a Thanksgiving breakfast?

Speaker 30 The whole Thanksgiving situation in Detroit, it's always a good thing.

Speaker 120 I think they just watch it with the game.

Speaker 24 I think they eat Thanksgiving dinner with the game on.

Speaker 30 As they're watching it. Yeah.

Speaker 53 Okay.

Speaker 24 And they you take a nap in the second half.

Speaker 30 It was their first three-game winning streak since 2017. Yep.
That the Lions are on right now. They are definitely back to being frisky.

Speaker 30 And it was a double win today because the Rams continue to lose, so their draft pick keeps increasing. Yeah.
So the draft pick that they got in exchange for

Speaker 30 the Stafford Jared Goff trade. So as Stafford continues to not play, it turns out it actually helps the Lions continue to improve their position for the future.

Speaker 30 Jamal Williams has been a beast recently. Three touchdowns today, 64 yards.
It was the lowest yardage for any three-touchdown player this season.

Speaker 104 That's kind of cool.

Speaker 30 It's a cool stat. It actually reminded me of that Jerome Bettis game, and I looked it up, and I forgot how crazy his stat line was.

Speaker 24 He was like four yards?

Speaker 30 Jerome Bettis had five attempts. for three touchdowns and one yard.
Oh, yeah, that's right. In 2004.
That's incredible.

Speaker 55 Which is the bus.

Speaker 30 I think the best stat line of any player.

Speaker 132 I loved playing Madden with the bus.

Speaker 104 Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 103 And just running over people yep uh what do you got jake i know we lost once to them 2016 was our last one that was a four-game winning streak 13 to 16 who they beat the bears the vikings oh did they not beat they beat the bears in 14 14 that's right and then we beat them what 18 no

Speaker 30 uh yes 19 19 19 okay because i i just wonder if like the city of detroit has sadness from a lions loss baked into their thanksgivings like there are kids that probably grow up in detroit that hate thanksgiving yeah because they're like i have to watch the Lions lose every year.

Speaker 3 Although, I think that's just the same old Lions.

Speaker 30 Just Sundays?

Speaker 115 Yeah, it just becomes, it's almost actually probably better because then you have Sunday off.

Speaker 30 No, but it kind of ruins Thanksgiving for everybody.

Speaker 77 No, but I'm saying the Lions have been so, and I don't want to make this about because it is big that they won and they're...

Speaker 150 They look like they're actually building something.

Speaker 16 But the Lions are so bad and have been so bad that I don't think losses can affect Lions fans the same way they affect other fan bases anymore.

Speaker 74 Like it's almost like you're just arresting, this is what it is.

Speaker 30 I just think that it would be like adding a tradition to Thanksgiving where somebody would just come over to your house and kick you in the balls.

Speaker 87 Yeah.

Speaker 94 Yeah.

Speaker 115 I mean, it's just, but it, that you get kicked in the balls every Sunday anyway.

Speaker 30 Yeah. So that's true.
It was just another day.

Speaker 127 Like the last time they won a playoff game was what, 1991?

Speaker 81 Yeah.

Speaker 30 It's just, I think it's just another day at the getting kicked in the balls factory.

Speaker 27 Yeah, I think they're almost like,

Speaker 74 and I don't want to speak for all Lions fans, but I bet there's like a general like, well, we just kind of expect that this is going to happen.

Speaker 84 We want them to be good, but we also, you can't, you can't get your hopes up every single year.

Speaker 121 After a certain amount of years, it's just like, this, this is just, this is what it is.

Speaker 158 And now they're in a place where, again, they could get their hopes up because they've won three in a row and they're playing the Bills.

Speaker 3 And if they win this game, who the fuck knows? The Lions would be like, holy shit, like, what are they putting together here?

Speaker 149 So I was impressed by them because

Speaker 137 it wasn't really even close.

Speaker 24 Like, their defense got Daniel Jones to turn the ball over, which that's more on Daniel Jones.

Speaker 25 But Aiden Hutchinson looks awesome.

Speaker 113 Like, that was,

Speaker 27 you want to see those type of games.

Speaker 3 You've got back-to-back weeks with interceptions where it's like, oh, yeah, this is, we made the right choice.

Speaker 30 He's got as many interceptions as Sauce Gardner.

Speaker 60 Wow.

Speaker 30 Fascinating. Wow, that is fascinating.

Speaker 169 Defensive player of the rookie of the year?

Speaker 30 Aiden Hutchinson is, yeah, you have a lot of things that you can be happy about if you're a Lions fan. The defense is probably the big one because

Speaker 30 it's turned completely around, and they're awesome against the run today.

Speaker 135 Yeah.

Speaker 30 And we were talking about Saquon, and we're like, oh, Saquon's got, at the time, it was like seven attempts for nine yards.

Speaker 30 And the strategy with Saquon is you just keep feeding him if you're the Giants, and eventually he's going to break one. And that never happened today.
Right. They just, they kept him bottled up today.

Speaker 30 They did a great job against Daniel Jones. So, yeah, the offense is going to be...
Your offense is fine. The Lions have a good offense.

Speaker 30 But if the defense can even start to play consistently mediocre, or maybe even a little bit better than mediocre, yeah, the Lions could be, they are a fun team, but they could be actually good.

Speaker 1 And they actually, so I think their bye week was after the Patriots game where they lost 29 to nothing.

Speaker 7 And then they played the Cowboys, which remember watching that game, it was a one-score game in the fourth quarter.

Speaker 19 Yep.

Speaker 25 They played the Dolphins to a four-point game, which everyone gives up points to the Dolphins, shut down the Packers.

Speaker 7 The Bears was a shootout, but they win that game, and then they shut down the Giants.

Speaker 44 So yeah,

Speaker 148 it feels like they've turned a corner a little bit.

Speaker 37 And Daniel Jones, for the Giants side of it, this does feel like the air coming out of the balloon a little bit for the Giants because even last week when they beat the Texans, watching that game, it was like the Texans are losing this game.

Speaker 23 The Giants aren't winning this game.

Speaker 19 Like in the fact that the Texans just kept on getting close and then throwing picks or not converting for scores.

Speaker 7 And now the

Speaker 89 reverse of what the Lions have.

Speaker 115 The Lions have basically a Thanksgiving Day game that could change like everything for the positive.

Speaker 137 The Giants have a Thanksgiving Day that could change everything for the negative because they have to go to Dallas.

Speaker 134 And if they get killed in that game, now you're starting to have some good long looks in the mirror of a tough schedule down the stretch where you start seven and two.

Speaker 115 And it's like you're basically clinging on, hoping you can get to nine wins and get into the playoffs.

Speaker 30 Yeah, the two games against the Commanders have become like those were wins earlier in the season that you had penciled in. Now those are like question marks.

Speaker 53 They might have flipped the other one.

Speaker 30 And then everything, then you don't know what to believe anymore.

Speaker 134 And it sucks for Giants fans that you had, like, like if they don't make the playoffs it's going to be cruel because if you had said to the giants fans before the season like let's say they finished nine and eight and missed the playoffs if you said you finished nine and eight and missed the playoffs you'd be like that's awesome we're in like that's great year one day this team is not very good because it's not a very good team but the fact they started seven and two if they now miss the playoffs now it's it's a cruel twist of how the schedule worked and how they started the season.

Speaker 30 It was awesome though when they applauded for Kenny Galladay who made a catch today.

Speaker 131 That was very fun.

Speaker 30 And the crowd just went ape shit for him. They couldn't believe it.
It was great. It was a nice, it was a touching tribute to him.

Speaker 30 If you're to the Giants, you at least have some things that you can point at.

Speaker 30 If they end up going off the rails a little bit, maybe they squeak into the playoffs, get blown out. Maybe they don't make the playoffs.

Speaker 30 You're still in a good spot as a Lions fan because you have, I think, fixable issues. Yeah.
I think you just get to get some weapons on offense.

Speaker 30 You have to have people that can catch the ball and then run with the football down the field. Yeah.

Speaker 30 Those guys you can find.

Speaker 62 And they're out there.

Speaker 99 A couple defensive, I mean, like the Aiden Hutchinson, if he is the player that he looked like today and has looked like in the last couple weeks, like if you have one of the impact edge rushers in the NFL, everything becomes easier.

Speaker 13 Everything becomes easier.

Speaker 101 Like everything works a lot easier when you have that one guy who like a TJ Watt.

Speaker 133 We talked about the Steelers and what TJ Watt means to that Steelers defense.

Speaker 121 Aiden Hutchinson obviously isn't TJ Watt yet, but like that's the one position on defense that if he really is exceptional, It can make everything else easier for you He had a six spin move too as he was returning that interception.

Speaker 30 Yeah, I love it when when defensive guys that never touch the ball try to like hit the Madden buttons on themselves. Yes.
That was the best.

Speaker 30 But yeah, I do think that the Giants, your problems are fixable, even if you end up stinking down the stretch this year.

Speaker 30 And you know that you've got a good coach and that you have a general manager that's not Gettelman. And so like the future is very bright if you're a Giants fan.

Speaker 104 Yes, yes.

Speaker 138 We're going to say Jake.

Speaker 103 I don't know if they would actually do it the league because the Cowboys are such a big draw, but in two weeks, it's Colts, Cowboys, Sunday night. Giants, Commanders, flesh.

Speaker 30 They do love doing that with the NFC East.

Speaker 103 But the Cowboys are a huge draw, but it's the Colts.

Speaker 79 Yeah. Yeah.
They love Dallas.

Speaker 103 Also, Dolphins, not Niners, could be a change.

Speaker 105 I think that comes down to if the Colts win, what is it, two weeks from now?

Speaker 126 Yeah.

Speaker 63 If the Colts win next week, I think they'll keep it Colts, Cowboys, and be like, Colts are fighting for their playoff hopes.

Speaker 30 Yes, the fact that it's even Saturday

Speaker 30 discussion. The fact we're having the conversation.
Exactly. Although, if you're asking me honestly,

Speaker 30 I want to see you said 49ers Dolphins.

Speaker 103 That's a four o'clock game. I could say that's a good one.

Speaker 98 I want that McDaniel versus

Speaker 98 Daniel.

Speaker 171 They could flex that. Yep.

Speaker 102 That's

Speaker 138 something to market.

Speaker 103 So if it happens, we called it.

Speaker 95 Jake, as an aside, how excited do you get during flex season? Trying to predict cool.

Speaker 91 You should maybe do...

Speaker 64 Those should be your picks.

Speaker 141 Okay.

Speaker 164 Yeah, like you should.

Speaker 6 I mean, separate, but I need flex.

Speaker 30 And also, let's keep track of.

Speaker 103 I think it's a 14-day notice, right? Yeah.

Speaker 30 Let's keep track of whether or not they did a good job with it. So, this flex tonight, Chargers Chiefs.

Speaker 55 Great job.

Speaker 75 Great job. Great job.

Speaker 30 In my fantasy flex league, that score is very high.

Speaker 12 I just want maybe on.

Speaker 103 Well, Steelers, Bengals, we'll get to it. That was the original game.
That was a good game, too.

Speaker 128 Yeah, maybe every Friday you can give us a flex update.

Speaker 61 Like, hey, guys, heads up.

Speaker 94 Two weeks from now, we're looking at this.

Speaker 166 You got it.

Speaker 53 Yeah.

Speaker 100 Learn all the rules, though, because there's weird rules.

Speaker 17 Like, CBS and Fox get first divs to some games.

Speaker 159 And you can protect them.

Speaker 103 Each team maxes out at like five.

Speaker 31 If there's any AWL who's listening.

Speaker 116 You can just add it to Fantasy Fuckboys and to have a flex position.

Speaker 72 Yeah, just call it.

Speaker 40 Oh, yeah. Perfect.

Speaker 30 Weird flex, but okay.

Speaker 55 Yeah.

Speaker 14 And if there's any AWLs who work with work in NBC or any other, and we can get inside info on just how it works.

Speaker 130 We're not asking for you to tip us off, but just how it works in terms of the rules and stuff.

Speaker 103 Well, I'm rooting for a flex now.

Speaker 53 We'll take 13.

Speaker 30 I love that. The flex has become like the new score of games.

Speaker 79 Yeah, but it's so advanced.

Speaker 40 Yeah.

Speaker 138 Like this team has...

Speaker 30 Keep track of like which teams have never been flexed before.

Speaker 103 Yeah. I'll look into it.

Speaker 3 Jake's eyes lit up when he was like, oh, look at this.

Speaker 23 Two weeks from now.

Speaker 72 Yeah. Watch out.

Speaker 40 Like, I like that.

Speaker 18 I like seeing that in you.

Speaker 30 Flex in the city.

Speaker 92 Yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 65 Nice.

Speaker 30 Yeah. Real flex.

Speaker 116 Yeah. No flex.

Speaker 156 Zone. No.
No flex.

Speaker 97 Zone.

Speaker 48 Okay. Next up.

Speaker 17 Falcons 27.

Speaker 3 Bears 24.

Speaker 95 This is just Groundhog's Day.

Speaker 55 Yeah, so

Speaker 30 I got a question for you. Are you at all worried that just the act of losing is going to get very familiar to Justin Fields?

Speaker 27 Yes, that's what I said last week in terms of I would like for them to sprinkle in a win from time to time.

Speaker 1 And this game had every Bears game that's happened this year since Justin Fields has started to ascend.

Speaker 148 He looked great.

Speaker 7 He was playing great.

Speaker 115 He made some great throws.

Speaker 7 He made some great runs. He also had a couple throws that weren't great.

Speaker 97 He threw a ball directly off of, I think it was his,

Speaker 24 I think it was his right guard's helmet.

Speaker 94 Yeah.

Speaker 139 That was tough, but that's okay.

Speaker 17 That's, you know, we can take that when he makes the electric plays.

Speaker 1 And then we got to a point, you know, the Bears' defense had some issues.

Speaker 8 The special teams had some issues, which we'll talk about, Corell Patterson.

Speaker 147 Get to the last drive.

Speaker 61 Can we get down the field and maybe win this game?

Speaker 132 I do not know.

Speaker 26 I actually think that Luke Goetze, the guy who's calling the plays, I think he's actively been given orders to lose games because they started the drive.

Speaker 148 Justin Fields' hamstring was a little hurt.

Speaker 111 He starts it design quarterback run.

Speaker 14 He bangs up his shoulder.

Speaker 22 What does he do with a guy who's got a gimpy hamstring and gimpy shoulder?

Speaker 44 He does another design quarterback run.

Speaker 26 And then on third down, the check down that it wasn't a good thrown ball.

Speaker 44 Montgomery probably should have caught it, but it wasn't like it was a bad pass by Fields.

Speaker 24 And then rinse, repeat.

Speaker 1 The Bears lose by three.

Speaker 61 Justin Fields looks great.

Speaker 44 And yeah, I would like to sprinkle a little win from time to time.

Speaker 30 Just to have him smile.

Speaker 12 No,

Speaker 128 I've said this.

Speaker 12 If the Bears finish this season 3-14, it's a problem.

Speaker 27 They need to win probably two more games mixed in with what Justin Fields is doing.

Speaker 7 And I hope

Speaker 27 if he's hurt even a little bit, they should be the most cautious with him.

Speaker 23 Do not play him against the Jets if he is even a little bit injured.

Speaker 40 You know what I mean?

Speaker 115 At this point,

Speaker 44 if we don't get a top-five draft pick, that's a problem in itself.

Speaker 30 So what you got to do right now is, because he does have the talent to be like a generationally great quarterback, if he's in the right system, you got to get him addicted to winning and turn him into a psycho.

Speaker 69 You got to give him like

Speaker 30 a very competitive taste for winning and just have him become a completely insane person that's

Speaker 30 totally motivated just by winning. You got to get him into that zone, and that's not going to happen if he just has to get bitter every single week and get sad after games.

Speaker 30 And to his credit, he talked to the media and everything afterwards.

Speaker 30 No, he's a gamer, he doesn't want to, yeah, yeah, even though he was like injured and stuff during the game, he could have just like skipped out on it and gone home, or it could have been like, I'm, you know, is there a problem?

Speaker 30 No, yeah, or like it was windy in the dome, you just got to get him into that windy as hell, you got to, you got to turn him into a psycho. That's the thing.

Speaker 121 And he is, I think he actually is pretty a competitive psycho in that he, like, we've talked about it, he doesn't really smile.

Speaker 115 I think he very, very desperately wants to win.

Speaker 8 And yeah, he made some electric plays and they fell short.

Speaker 93 And it sucks.

Speaker 159 I would like for them to win, and I want them to be healthy.

Speaker 44 And yeah, it's Groundhog's Day.

Speaker 23 Every single game the Bears have played since beating the Patriots on Monday Night Football has been the exact same.

Speaker 6 Like, play really good.

Speaker 3 Justin Fields plays great. Defense special team, someone makes a mistake.

Speaker 164 The overheads.

Speaker 6 The overhits.

Speaker 88 And they have a chance at the end and it falls apart.

Speaker 143 Yep.

Speaker 130 Like, it's just,

Speaker 44 I'm not sick of watching it because he makes play like that.

Speaker 130 I think it was the,

Speaker 101 this is where the guys who look at the box score, I'll just never like, either you watched it or you didn't.

Speaker 95 When he made that 10-yard scramble, I think it was the second quarter, when it, like, a guy was tackling him and he shook him.

Speaker 2 It was just like, what the fuck is going on?

Speaker 74 And then he made that other scramble in the fourth to keep the play alive for, I don't know, 15 seconds, it felt like, and then hit someone.

Speaker 106 Like, those plays are exceptional.

Speaker 25 He's calm.

Speaker 3 He still needs to be better as a pocket passer because that's what happened with the interception at the end.

Speaker 130 I know that those are like the things he needs to work on, but

Speaker 40 all of that's awesome.

Speaker 30 The interception at the end, I don't think he was passing the ball to the running back.

Speaker 30 Yeah. I think he was throwing it to the receiver that was running the crossing run.
He might have been. And the running back jumped up and tipped it

Speaker 30 to the receiver. Either way,

Speaker 99 he does need to get better as a pocket passer, but everything else has gotten so much better that that will come.

Speaker 127 I'm very confident that will come.

Speaker 105 As for the Falcons,

Speaker 27 good win for them.

Speaker 3 There has been some Desmond Ritter rumblings. So the report came out before the game that they're sticking with Mariota as long as they're playoff eligible.

Speaker 134 They're still alive in the hunt.

Speaker 129 And Mariota played okay today.

Speaker 44 I don't know. Kyle Pitts got hurt, which that sucked.

Speaker 26 Eddie Jackson hit him low, which I don't blame.

Speaker 21 The defenders have no, you can't go high.

Speaker 145 Big. Well,

Speaker 66 you can't go high.

Speaker 48 So you like, I don't know.

Speaker 25 It's like one of those tough spots for a lot of defenders defenders now because if you even go close to the head, you get flagged for that.

Speaker 73 But that sucked.

Speaker 151 And then Cordero Patterson is officially the best kickoff returner of all time.

Speaker 30 Yeah, he's got the record. This is crazy to me.
So he has seven career touchdowns of 100-plus yards. Yeah.
Nuts. Seven career touchdowns of 100-plus yards.

Speaker 30 No other player in NFL history has more than three.

Speaker 1 And listen, Devin Hester is the best returner, all-around returner.

Speaker 93 He has, I think, 14 punt returns in his career.

Speaker 30 I'm a Deion guy.

Speaker 23 Deion guy, but he, Crowder Ell Patterson is objectively the best kickoff returner at this point.

Speaker 117 He has nine.

Speaker 132 He broke the record.

Speaker 95 He has nine kickoff returns, and what do you say, seven over 100?

Speaker 30 Seven over 100 yards, which is crazy to me.

Speaker 30 That's so many.

Speaker 30 To me, that's... What's up, Hank? What's that?

Speaker 32 X?

Speaker 163 Oh, Dante Hall?

Speaker 53 Dante Hall?

Speaker 72 You were a Dante Hall guy?

Speaker 30 He's a human joystick.

Speaker 53 Yeah. Love Dante Hall.
I mean,

Speaker 83 he had that.

Speaker 134 Him and Josh Cribs both had a moment where where it was more than a moment, a few years, where it was just like, oh man, these guys are awesome.

Speaker 30 Dante Hall was. I think it was just because I was a kid too, but he was the swaggiest dude.

Speaker 116 He was.

Speaker 30 I think he was the most fun to watch when he had the ball because he would make like seven guys miss on every return, and he would run backwards and like juke.

Speaker 24 He had more jukes.

Speaker 30 He was the best juker that I've ever seen.

Speaker 55 Cordero Patterson.

Speaker 137 Well, Devin Hester had a ton of jukes, too.

Speaker 147 But yeah, Cordero Patterson, the craziest part about him is he shouldn't be that fast.

Speaker 66 He's so big. He's so big, yeah.

Speaker 145 He's so big.

Speaker 83 And he doesn't even look like he's that fast.

Speaker 84 Like, he doesn't look...

Speaker 170 I'm trying to think.

Speaker 101 Like Tyree Kill, obviously.

Speaker 138 When you see him run, you're like, oh, fuck, this guy's so much faster than everyone.

Speaker 123 He just, it's one of those deceptive things where it's like, he's just running faster than everyone.

Speaker 3 It doesn't look like he's this crazy, twitchy muscle guy, but he's so much faster than everybody.

Speaker 30 He takes those long strides. He gets going.
And he wasn't even really that much of a, he wasn't ever used as a running back when he was on the Vikings.

Speaker 30 Remember, he came on part of my take, and we asked him if he was going to be like Ty Montgomery and start to get some carries. He was like, Yeah, I'd like my coach to do that.

Speaker 30 And then his chain started bouncing off the microphone, and we're like, Damn, this guy's cool. Yep, and he's extremely fast.

Speaker 30 Yeah, so yeah, he's uh, I think we put him as a first-ballot hall of very good, but now I don't know, like, he might be a hall of famer.

Speaker 144 Well, Devin Hesser should be a hall of family, so I should.

Speaker 30 I think that, yeah, if Cordero Patterson plays for a couple more years, he's in the part of my take hall family.

Speaker 157 He probably needs to play a couple more years.

Speaker 104 We should make our own Hall of Fame.

Speaker 171 We should.

Speaker 30 He's definitely. He's the number one kick-returning guest.

Speaker 30 Well, no, because Steven Hester came on the show, too. Yeah.

Speaker 104 They're both in there. They're both in there.

Speaker 93 Okay.

Speaker 4 We have the best Hall of Fame for kick returners.

Speaker 130 That's true.

Speaker 53 We've got to get Dante Hall on.

Speaker 163 And we have Deion. And we have Deion, yeah.

Speaker 30 That's true. So we do need Dante Hall on the show.

Speaker 119 Yeah, and we need to get Josh Cribs.

Speaker 53 Yep. We'll complete.

Speaker 97 We'll collect them all.

Speaker 44 Yeah, so Falcons, I don't.

Speaker 24 Nothing else.

Speaker 143 I mean, this is a good win for them.

Speaker 137 The Bears aren't good as a team.

Speaker 26 I don't delude myself.

Speaker 62 I think they're not bad.

Speaker 94 They're not bad.

Speaker 97 They're not good.

Speaker 30 Yeah, no, like if the Bears are on TV, I want to watch that game.

Speaker 3 Well, yeah, Justin Fields makes it must-watch.

Speaker 169 But yeah, as a totality, like as a football team,

Speaker 82 I don't think they're good.

Speaker 30 Jumping back to what you said about Desmond Ritter and the Marcus Mariota situation, the way that I saw it made it almost seem like it was a defeatist proposition that the Falcons had where they said, we're going to keep Mariota starting until we get eliminated from the playoff on.

Speaker 30 It It wasn't so much optimistic. Like, we're trying to make the playoffs right now.

Speaker 30 It was just like, we're going to keep him in here for a couple more weeks, and then when we're officially eliminated, we're going to make the switch to Ritter.

Speaker 30 And I was just thinking, hypothetically, maybe Falcons fans can educate me to what they believe or what they think. If you're a Falcons fan, do you truly want to go back to the Super Bowl again?

Speaker 53 Probably not.

Speaker 147 Like, in your heart of hearts. No.

Speaker 30 Knowing that, like, if you lose again, it's just, it's going to be horrible.

Speaker 8 I think if you gave Falcons fans, if you said to Falcons fans,

Speaker 115 you go to the Super Bowl, there's a 95% chance you win, but there's a 5% chance you get 28-3 again.

Speaker 163 I think they'd be like, no, thanks.

Speaker 87 Probably not. Yeah.

Speaker 18 Yeah. I think it'd have to be like 99-1.

Speaker 30 Or could you, like, right now, if you were to say that.

Speaker 44 And then who wouldn't, like, one's never going to come up, right?

Speaker 53 Yeah.

Speaker 60 Hank?

Speaker 30 Our Falcons fans,

Speaker 30 if you were to take this right now, would you go to the Super Bowl knowing that you'd have to play against Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs in the Super Bowl?

Speaker 40 No, I would give it a bad.

Speaker 132 No, no, no, no.

Speaker 44 No chance.

Speaker 40 No chance.

Speaker 53 No way, right? No, thank you.

Speaker 30 Like, it's not worth it to go through that whole week.

Speaker 81 No.

Speaker 30 You have to do like media day and everything like that. Be up in the game at some point.

Speaker 53 Yeah. No.

Speaker 30 It actually sounds awful to me.

Speaker 97 No, no, definitely not.

Speaker 117 Maybe a nice...

Speaker 111 Like, if I were a Falcons fan, maybe a nice divisional wildcard weekend win.

Speaker 30 Yeah, give me a win in week one.

Speaker 126 And we'll go on the road and play the one seed and lose.

Speaker 30 Like the early Saturday game. Yeah.
Let's win that. And then week two, yeah, we'll kindly bow out and take our bowl and go home.

Speaker 82 Yeah, then that was fun.

Speaker 23 That was a good season.

Speaker 138 Yeah, I like that.

Speaker 132 That's a good hypothetical, and I agree.

Speaker 40 Probably not.

Speaker 30 I'm curious to know what Falcons fans think. Yeah.

Speaker 104 So, y'all know that we're big fans of Cracker Barrel. And this holiday season, I will be sat at their table with a big plate of country fried turkey.

Speaker 172 And Brandon, I'll be right there with you, and I'll check it off my Christmas list in the country store while I'm at it. It'll make a nice holiday tradition.

Speaker 120 can i count his greatness uh

Speaker 74 both on the field and his play, but also the fact that he does just enough to lose every game

Speaker 115 to get the team better?

Speaker 90 Is that part of his greatness?

Speaker 126 Yeah.

Speaker 110 Right? Can I spin it that way?

Speaker 123 He's so great on the field, and then he's so great in knowing just when to stop being great so the team can be future great.

Speaker 13 Put that on a quote board.

Speaker 30 I think you know that this is not a good place to get yourself into because you don't want to make a major facet of your new quarterback that he's great at losing.

Speaker 145 Right, but right now he's

Speaker 30 good for the offense.

Speaker 64 He's great at losing is great for getting the team better.

Speaker 55 Yeah, no, overall.

Speaker 30 So he has pretty much perfectly played like enough. He's played well enough to be like, holy shit, I've got my guy.
But also at the same time, he's not actively damaging the future of the draft.

Speaker 69 Right.

Speaker 76 It's basically next year,

Speaker 24 if they load up next year and he's still losing games by three points, then we can have the discussion, like, what's going on.

Speaker 23 But right now, he's just setting himself up to be even more future great.

Speaker 30 I did see the take out there, and I kind of hope it gets started because it's a fun discussion to have. Should the Bears sit Justin Fields for the rest of the season?

Speaker 147 Oh, I saw that one pussy.

Speaker 30 I saw it bubble up.

Speaker 84 He's like, you have to sit Justin Fields the rest of the season. No, you fucking don't, dude.

Speaker 3 He's a football player.

Speaker 109 He wants to play football, and he's still growing.

Speaker 30 I love the fact that we're having the conversation.

Speaker 48 Yeah, I saw that.

Speaker 30 In order to get better at football, sometimes you have to play football. Yeah.

Speaker 14 And guess what?

Speaker 3 Justin Fields, as great and as excited I am about him, he still has a lot of things he has to work on.

Speaker 58 I'm very open about that.

Speaker 104 Yeah.

Speaker 130 I do think they're good.

Speaker 148 The difference is, I don't think he's a finished product.

Speaker 165 I just think that what I've seen, he will be a finished, incredible product.

Speaker 30 Are the Bears wasting Justin Fields' prime?

Speaker 148 I saw that, and I was just like, holy shit, what a pussy.

Speaker 44 If he is even a little bit hurt, though, like if his hamstring, don't play him against him.

Speaker 53 Oh, yeah.

Speaker 30 Yeah, of course. Do not.
If he has a soft tissue injury, give him an extra week even after he recovers.

Speaker 36 Because that shit is not like that's not worth it.

Speaker 73 But yeah, he has to play the rest of the season.

Speaker 30 But yeah, if he's healthy, you don't, you're not shutting him down. Yeah,

Speaker 18 every game is a learning experience.

Speaker 27 Yeah, like he's getting better every week, so why would you do that?

Speaker 137 Yeah, that's a crazy take.

Speaker 30 But I, I, it's basically the like I like that somebody's putting it out there just so that we can dunk on it.

Speaker 44 Yeah, it's like guys like playing like uh four games in college and then opting out for the rest of the career.

Speaker 30 I just want somebody to ask Dan Dockich that question so he can just say

Speaker 62 my ass. My ass.
My ass.

Speaker 30 My ass. He sits out.

Speaker 147 My ass.

Speaker 24 All right. Saints 27.

Speaker 18 Rams 20.

Speaker 25 We did not have this game on TV

Speaker 24 because we are protesting Dennis Allen's choice to have Andy Dalton be the quarterback.

Speaker 115 Andy Dalton actually played well, but it did.

Speaker 24 Jameis Winson came out and said it hurt his soul to not be playing.

Speaker 7 The Rams are a complete dumpster fire.

Speaker 74 Matthew Stafford gets hurt.

Speaker 72 I think he had another concussion.

Speaker 30 So it's weird because he got into the concussion protocol during the week this week. Right.
But there's no clear evidence of when he took the conversion.

Speaker 53 Oh, wait, no, that was last week.

Speaker 30 Yeah, last week. Yeah, yeah.
And so

Speaker 30 there's some weird stuff going on. They're not exactly sure what's going on.
I don't think he was ever diagnosed with a concussion, but he was like somewhat in the concussion protocol.

Speaker 30 And then they took him out to evaluate him for another concussion this week. It's just very weird.

Speaker 64 It's very weird.

Speaker 30 It's very strange. I don't know what's going on there.
Sean McVay has lost four games in a row for the first time in his career.

Speaker 30 Seems like he'd be much happier just being on television once a week talking about football.

Speaker 95 Well, no, PFT, because we just talked about it with Justin Fields.

Speaker 107 The Rams will get a better draft pick.

Speaker 33 That's true.

Speaker 30 Oh, wait. Wait, no, wait a second.

Speaker 55 You don't have any.

Speaker 30 That goes to the Detroit Lions.

Speaker 30 So the more they lose, the more that the Detroit Lions continue to stock. What if the Detroit Lions just

Speaker 30 absorbed all the fuck them picks energy from the Rams?

Speaker 104 That would be great.

Speaker 30 And loaded up on picks.

Speaker 30 What if the Lions just become a dynasty?

Speaker 129 What if the Lions become a dynasty and we look back at the Stafford trade and we're like, that was like the Rock and Ishmael trade where it's like, holy shit.

Speaker 40 Yeah.

Speaker 145 The Rams won one, the Lions won four.

Speaker 72 Yeah.

Speaker 30 What did you get, Matt Stafford?

Speaker 30 What did it cost you? Everything.

Speaker 139 Everything.

Speaker 110 The Rams are so sad now.

Speaker 27 Instead of recapping and trying to figure out, I mean, Bryce Perkins came into the game who's been on the Rams roster since 2020.

Speaker 127 He played at Virginia and then he played somewhere else too before that.

Speaker 51 I can't remember off the top of my head.

Speaker 1 But I do like that we're warming up for the Bryce Young era because that's the ⁇ I think he's the second Bryce ever to play quarterback in the NFL.

Speaker 158 So we're getting more accustomed to it.

Speaker 30 We're getting into Bryce's. Yeah, to Bryce.

Speaker 44 We had Bryce Petty

Speaker 3 for a while for the Jets, and now we have Bryce Perkins.

Speaker 91 But the Rams,

Speaker 110 they're so depressing

Speaker 117 that my entire

Speaker 143 recap of the game was to just immediately go to their schedule and be like, do I have to watch them in primetime for the rest of the season?

Speaker 3 And the answer, unfortunately, is yes, twice in back-to-back weeks.

Speaker 30 Can we flex that out?

Speaker 86 We can't flex those out.

Speaker 105 Actually, I think they have a very late buy.

Speaker 127 So one of them, it might be.

Speaker 66 No, no, no, no, it is back-to-back weeks.

Speaker 51 They play the Raiders on Thursday night football.

Speaker 40 That's going to suck.

Speaker 18 And then they play the Packers on Monday night football the next week.

Speaker 126 Imagine ESPN being like, yes, we got Rams Packers in the middle of December.

Speaker 101 What a fucking coup for us.

Speaker 171 By the way, holy shit.

Speaker 103 Shoe Weeks is also Eagles Titans. So that's another one that could be flexed.

Speaker 4 Oh, for Sunday Night Football?

Speaker 103 Yeah, so my flex of the year.

Speaker 139 Okay, that's your flex of the year.

Speaker 40 Are you calling it right now?

Speaker 40 Well, I don't know who.

Speaker 144 Cody, it's going to get out.

Speaker 35 Eagles Titans is going to get out?

Speaker 53 That's the game.

Speaker 171 Colts, Cowboys. Oh, Colts, Cowboys.

Speaker 53 Don't say Eagles Titans.

Speaker 51 Yeah, Dolphins, Niners.

Speaker 13 Oh, so you're saying the Colts Cowboys, your flex of the year, that's out?

Speaker 140 Yes. Wow.

Speaker 134 He's calling his shot, folks.

Speaker 99 We gave him a little bit of power.

Speaker 11 He's gone way too far with it.

Speaker 141 Okay.

Speaker 24 If you don't get this, then

Speaker 36 you lose all credibility.

Speaker 101 It's almost like when you didn't put Wisconsin in the tournament.

Speaker 103 Okay, and I'm still here.

Speaker 72 Yeah, well, barely.

Speaker 26 I'm joking, Jake.

Speaker 26 I do like this. Flex of the year.

Speaker 51 Now I'm invested. We better wake up and hope it.

Speaker 165 When is it?

Speaker 6 When is the deadline?

Speaker 103 So let me check.

Speaker 72 Oh, God. Yeah, I guess.
What if the deadline already passed?

Speaker 62 What if the deadline already passed?

Speaker 53 No.

Speaker 79 Are you saying Voyage?

Speaker 109 No, no, no.

Speaker 104 No, you win 0 for 1.

Speaker 48 You win flex of the year. You just went flex of the year on us.

Speaker 30 That was a fight. You can't take back this long.

Speaker 110 You can't be like Bill Coward taking back your flex of the year.

Speaker 53 You're right, you're right.

Speaker 22 But yeah, we have to watch the Rams two more times versus the Raiders Thursday Night Football at the Packers.

Speaker 30 I saw a report that Cooper Cup was out for six to eight weeks. Just say he's out for the year at this point.

Speaker 71 Well, Cooper Cup's one of those psychos that definitely will be like, week 18, let me play. I'll train hard.

Speaker 30 I'll train all in for week 18.

Speaker 143 Dude loves football.

Speaker 3 As for the Saints, I'm so sick of their shit.

Speaker 127 I just don't.

Speaker 3 I feel like they're just going to keep doing this where they lose a game.

Speaker 44 Everyone's like, holy shit.

Speaker 25 Stop playing Andy Dalton.

Speaker 115 Then they win a game.

Speaker 100 Like, oh, Andy Dalton.

Speaker 156 I mean, they have.

Speaker 3 The only thing I can say nice about the Saints is Juwan Johnson looks very good as a undrafted tight end. And then Chris Olave is the real deal, which is nice because

Speaker 48 that's a high draft. It is.

Speaker 30 Chris Olave had the one long touchdown today. And then also Taysom Hill got in the action a little bit.
Good. So he got in there.
He got 10 carries, carries, I think, for 50 yards. That's fun.

Speaker 30 Keep doing stuff like that. Make your team tolerable to watch.
That's all we want because the NFL is a better league when we're able to have their games on our television in the gambling case. Yes.

Speaker 30 And the Saints uniforms, they were incredible. Yeah, they were.

Speaker 40 I love those uniforms.

Speaker 30 And that's the only reason why I'm a little bit upset that we didn't watch the Saints today is because I could have just looked at those uniforms for three and a half hours.

Speaker 115 Those were great uniforms.

Speaker 37 Yeah, I'm looking at the Saints this year.

Speaker 36 They've gone, they they won their first game.

Speaker 4 They lost three in a row.

Speaker 21 They won.

Speaker 127 They lost two in a row.

Speaker 143 They won.

Speaker 127 They lost two in a row.

Speaker 117 They won.

Speaker 22 So bet on the 49ers and Buccaneers the next two weeks.

Speaker 30 Yep, and then they'll beat the Falcons.

Speaker 148 Yeah, they'll follow this up with two straight losses.

Speaker 30 Yeah, and then I could see them losing to the Browns and the Eagles and then beating the Panthers.

Speaker 133 Yeah, so this is going to be their whole season.

Speaker 30 I like that. Yeah.
But you're consistently inconsistent.

Speaker 8 I'll say it again, Dennis Allen.

Speaker 26 If you don't have Jameis Winson or Taysom Hill taking snaps against the Bucs on Monday Night Football, December 5th, I'm going to jump in front of a bus.

Speaker 30 That hurts my soul.

Speaker 103 12 days is the flex deadline. So Monday or Tuesday.

Speaker 81 Wow. So like tomorrow.

Speaker 53 Today or tomorrow.

Speaker 99 We are on Flex of the Year watch.

Speaker 30 Jake, I need you to explicitly say what your flex of the year is.

Speaker 144 Well, I don't know which game's going to be.

Speaker 16 No, he's saying that Colts, Cowboys will be flexing out

Speaker 13 options.

Speaker 48 That is the ballsiest thing you can do to flex out a Cowboys game.

Speaker 30 You're coming out of the gate hard.

Speaker 103 But like your first one, like you put your nuts on the table.

Speaker 102 Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 126 Oh, yeah.

Speaker 138 Yeah.

Speaker 146 No, it's, listen, it's a thrill.

Speaker 103 Like, if it's a Jaguars, Titans, like, come on.

Speaker 83 Yeah, you're right. You're going for going big game hunting.

Speaker 69 Yeah.

Speaker 48 Like, they won't flex out the Cowboys.

Speaker 53 No, no, no, no.

Speaker 26 Our boy, Flex of the Year, he called the Flex Master.

Speaker 30 All right, so give me your power rankings in terms of which one you think is most likely

Speaker 30 to get flexed in.

Speaker 104 I love the Flex Master.

Speaker 30 You got your eyes on three games, right?

Speaker 103 Giants, Commanders is third.

Speaker 53 Okay. Okay.

Speaker 103 So it's between Dolphins, Niners, and Eagles, Titans.

Speaker 170 Eagles are playing Sunday Night Football next week.

Speaker 72 Will they do it?

Speaker 72 That's true.

Speaker 30 Will they do it, though? I don't think they'll do it again. Also, Titans doesn't really move the needle.

Speaker 156 Yeah.

Speaker 103 I'll go with Dolphins, Niners.

Speaker 53 That feels right. Titans.

Speaker 154 That's Niners commanders.

Speaker 30 But they're also allergic to having the Dolphins on Sunday night football, right? Because that was the first time.

Speaker 30 Since like 2010.

Speaker 103 Oh, well.

Speaker 118 Wow.

Speaker 30 Wow. You've really painted yourself into a corner here, man.

Speaker 55 That's going to be great.

Speaker 53 All right. Well, everyone tune in.

Speaker 102 And if I lose.

Speaker 102 Oh, well, I lose my face. No, no, you can't.

Speaker 34 Oh, well.

Speaker 78 No, no, no. You can't owe.
No, no, no, no.

Speaker 40 I lose myself. No, no, no, no, no, no.

Speaker 40 You can't, oh, well. No, oh well.
There's no.

Speaker 104 No, no, no, no, no, oh, well.

Speaker 58 Sorry, OL is not.

Speaker 44 No, no, no. No, no, no.

Speaker 103 Don't say that word again on the show.

Speaker 141 Don't owe well.

Speaker 44 If you lose this, I want real tears.

Speaker 162 Okay.

Speaker 145 For the AWL.

Speaker 30 If you lose this,

Speaker 30 you have to drop another F-bomb. You have to say, I fucked up.
I'm Jake Marsh and I fucked up.

Speaker 53 Done.

Speaker 149 And then the other F-bomb, too.

Speaker 40 Yeah.

Speaker 69 You got to drop that one. Brennan.

Speaker 31 We're going to make Jake go a Brennaman.

Speaker 141 All right.

Speaker 78 Yeah.

Speaker 175 Saints, whatever, dude.

Speaker 3 Ravens Panthers.

Speaker 18 Another game we didn't have on, which this was the correct choice.

Speaker 104 Nailed it.

Speaker 1 Ravens defense is as good as we thought.

Speaker 150 Like, they were.

Speaker 91 It's a bummer.

Speaker 44 I feel like P.J.

Speaker 7 Walker could have won this game.

Speaker 148 Baker Mayfield was back in.

Speaker 137 It was a tight game.

Speaker 51 Then the Ravens' defense had three turnovers in the fourth quarter alone.

Speaker 44 Kind of just like, we're like, all right, enough with this shit.

Speaker 117 And won the game.

Speaker 121 And yeah, I don't really.

Speaker 2 I guess I'll say something nice about the Panthers.

Speaker 166 I actually think the Panthers, depending on how the draft goes, they might be my bounce back team next year.

Speaker 128 They'll have a new coach.

Speaker 64 Their defense is good.

Speaker 1 Like, their defense is pretty good and has some dudes.

Speaker 23 They still have DJ Moore.

Speaker 128 I'm going to preemptively say Panthers.

Speaker 127 Yeah, Panthers, bounce back team next year.

Speaker 30 I think a lot has to do with who they hire as a coach, though. That too.

Speaker 80 That too. Right?

Speaker 30 The Ravens have led by double digits in every single game this year. Yeah.
So the Ravens, they can beat, they can whomp any team in the NFL. That's what I'm taking from that.
And they're 23-3.

Speaker 30 Lamar is 23-3 against teams with losing records. So he's pretty consistent that he beats teams that are beneficial.

Speaker 92 You get credit for that.

Speaker 30 You do get credit for it. Yeah, you can't really learn that much about the Ravens.
You beat the Panthers.

Speaker 13 Their defense is,

Speaker 7 the Super Bowl future I made on the Ravens is based on their defense.

Speaker 121 I mean, Lamar is, it's going to basically be defense and then Lamar being electric.

Speaker 30 Just, yeah, if Lamar catches fire in the playoffs.

Speaker 3 And they did, because they do not have wide receivers, but Demarcus Robinson was great today, so maybe that's the answer.

Speaker 73 Maybe he, and Mark Andrews isn't back yet, I don't believe.

Speaker 40 Oh, he played. Oh, he did play.

Speaker 52 He did. He did.

Speaker 23 So, yeah, that was going to be my excuse for the Ravens offense sucking, and that's gone.

Speaker 30 Well, the Ravens offense,

Speaker 30 it will occasionally suck. Yeah.
That's just kind of who they are as a franchise. That's who they've been for quite some time.

Speaker 30 Once in a while, you're going to be like, wow, this team is just painfully bad offensively. But anytime you have Lamar on the field, it's like, okay, any carry, he can take it 70 yards.

Speaker 24 Right. And

Speaker 3 I'm basically, my faith is in the Ravens' defense, Lamar being electric, Justin Tucker being electric.

Speaker 30 I also, yeah, Justin Tucker being electric.

Speaker 13 That's essentially like the formula.

Speaker 53 Right.

Speaker 111 That's the formula that I'm banking on for them to make a deep run.

Speaker 30 That motherfucker don't miss. He doesn't.
Justin Tucker.

Speaker 30 I admire the Ravens' commitment, though, to not ever having a good wide receiver. Yeah.
It's actually great.

Speaker 30 It's a good running bit that they've had for, I don't know, like, what, since anquan bolden maybe that if lamar since he is uh his own agent maybe that's what he says he's like i will take uh i will take the initial deal you gave me you have to get me three wide receivers yeah package three do you think lamar is going to be so good at being his own agent that he's going to represent other players too he should that'd be sick yeah lamar it like lamar should Like Lamar should call Aaron Rodgers and be like, you think you have a bad bro?

Speaker 118 Come on.

Speaker 1 Like they, they tried to bring in fucking Des Bryant like 10 years after he was good.

Speaker 58 Or, yeah,

Speaker 53 he was a tight end.

Speaker 12 That was their answer.

Speaker 30 And he immediately got COVID. Remember that?

Speaker 164 Yes.

Speaker 30 If other guys in the league were smart and they wanted Lamar on their team, if I'm like a wide receiver on, I don't know,

Speaker 30 what's a team that's like a quarterback? If I'm a wide receiver on like the.

Speaker 76 Let's say Garrett Wilson.

Speaker 53 Okay. What team is he on?

Speaker 30 Garrett Wilson? Yeah.

Speaker 30 Where is Garrett Wilson?

Speaker 30 That's a good question.

Speaker 24 What team is he on?

Speaker 79 Jets? Oh, Garrett.

Speaker 40 Just random.

Speaker 53 I just took the random team.

Speaker 30 So if I was Garrett Wilson or Braxton Berrios, we can pick any one of these guys hypothetically.

Speaker 30 I would say, Lamar,

Speaker 30 you can be my agent, so you even get a taste of my contract if you sign with the Jets.

Speaker 48 The Jets would win the Super Bowl.

Speaker 55 They would.

Speaker 30 Listen, if everybody on the Jets committed right now and said, we're all firing our agent, and Lamar is going to represent all of us, so he gets whatever it is, 5%, 10%,

Speaker 30 what it is in the office

Speaker 30 of all our future earnings of any contract that we sign, Lamar Jackson would be a Jet next year. 100%.

Speaker 30 You should do that. If your defense is mad enough, they should reach out to Lamar.

Speaker 24 Yeah, they should be like, we want you to represent us.

Speaker 30 Well, we got the offseason.

Speaker 11 And in that meantime, we'll have to make do.

Speaker 65 I want to see Lamar go to the Jets just so Billy's be like, he's never going to get hurt.

Speaker 78 Yeah.

Speaker 131 Yeah.

Speaker 44 No, the Jets would be.

Speaker 115 I think we said, yeah, we were like, was it a conversation today or might have been earlier this week where it's like, Lamar on the Jets would be incredible.

Speaker 156 Yeah.

Speaker 30 They're such a good defense. 17-0.

Speaker 117 They're such a good defense.

Speaker 87 Like, why not?

Speaker 140 Okay.

Speaker 148 Rounding off. We have three more games.

Speaker 44 Raiders, Broncos.

Speaker 27 Somebody's got to win this game.

Speaker 131 Nathaniel Hackett.

Speaker 26 And then almost, we almost had a tie, and then they forgot about Devontae Adams, who torched them for the game-winning touchdown on the opening drive of overtime.

Speaker 30 And I guess, like, this is just a, this is one of those games where it's like the winner can you really celebrate and the loser you're really sad yeah I personally would have guarded the one good player that the Raiders had if I was the Broncos I think Patrick Sertain was on him which sucks because he is an electric cornerback nobody was on him yeah no no one was on him 11 yards of separation 11 yards yeah that's that's probably being generous he was he was wide open uh it it is really like a thank god we didn't lose situation if you're the raiders it's like okay well i'm not getting fired after this game.

Speaker 30 Yeah. And probably not because Mark Davis is a broke boy.
He's a broke boy.

Speaker 30 Nathaniel Hackett is pulling out all the stops. Oh, yeah.
He gave up play calling duties before the game. He announced that he was no longer to be calling the plays.
So now he has

Speaker 104 Clint Kubiak.

Speaker 30 Clint Kubiak. He's also got.

Speaker 74 He's got friends with office manager Brett.

Speaker 170 Yep.

Speaker 53 He's got

Speaker 30 an assistant that he brought in that's now like handling some of the game time decisions for him in terms of when to go for it, different play calling parameters.

Speaker 30 And then this guy whose now job is actually to call the plays so i'm not really sure what it is nathaniel hackett's doing anymore um he's just like hanging out yeah around the facility he's fist pumping he was pretty fired up at play

Speaker 108 he might be doing some like part-time doctoring i know that's a passion of his i liked the broncos uniforms in this game they were incredible yeah the all-oranges all orange um and russ wasn't terrible except he had a terrible moment um basically the reverse of taylor heineke where at the end of the game it was two after the two-minute warning, Raiders had burned all their timeouts, third and 10 for the Broncos, and he scrambled and just threw the ball at his receiver's feet.

Speaker 148 And it's like, dude, just take a sack there, and there's another 40 seconds that go off this clock.

Speaker 115 And now the Raiders are, you know, no timeouts a minute and 20 instead of no timeouts a minute and 45.

Speaker 20 And the Raiders were comfortably able to get down the field to tie the game.

Speaker 52 It was just, what are you doing, dude? What are you doing?

Speaker 16 That's a 10-year quarterback.

Speaker 138 You can't make that mistake.

Speaker 30 Yeah, it's funny looking back as to what this offseason was telling us about this division because we're like, oh, man, this division is going to be insane. The Raiders, awesome.

Speaker 30 They got Josh McDaniels. That offense is going to be incredible.
Broncos, Russell Wilson, new head coach comes from Green Bay. Russell Wilson, great quarterback.
They're going to let him cook.

Speaker 30 Broncos are going to be awesome.

Speaker 24 You said during the stream that you...

Speaker 25 You bet on the Broncos to win the division? I might have.

Speaker 138 I mean, listen,

Speaker 95 I'm joining you in shame because I guarantee you, someone go find the clip.

Speaker 166 I was like, watch out.

Speaker 113 Like, if the Broncos are good this year, Russ MVP.

Speaker 6 Yeah, because there was like, couldn't be worse, those two takes.

Speaker 30 There was zero balls that touched the ground at the practice that we went to the first time.

Speaker 128 Could not be worse.

Speaker 130 Like, you can't think of a worse take than Broncos 2 in the AFC West, Russell Wilson.

Speaker 35 Although those are, that's a combined parlay.

Speaker 126 If one happens, the other happens.

Speaker 30 And I'm pretty sure that we were suffering from the altitude too when we were out in Denver, when we were there. Probably had some mushrooms in our situation.

Speaker 101 Probably a big guy.

Speaker 30 And

Speaker 30 it was a bad take, but it's funny because we spent the entire offseason talking about how different and crazy this division is going to be. And it's exactly the same as it's ever been.

Speaker 55 Patrick Mahomes, which is awesome.

Speaker 30 Patrick Mahomes will kick the shit out of you and suck your soul.

Speaker 30 The Chargers will be frustratingly good and consistently lose close games.

Speaker 73 The Raiders will every now and then show a flash where it's like, oh my God, this is the Raiders' offense.

Speaker 30 And Derek Carr will be a very likable, kind of sappy guy, but you feel bad for.

Speaker 30 Who's the guy in Game of Thrones that constantly get, was it Gray Joy, the guy that gets his dick cut off? Yeah,

Speaker 81 Reek?

Speaker 30 Yeah, that's Derek Carr. He's like, he seems occasionally to have his heart in the right place.

Speaker 30 You kind of root for him sometimes, but other times it's just like, this guy's being tortured his whole life. And then the Broncos have an amazing defense.

Speaker 17 They're the exact same team as last year.

Speaker 30 And then can't do shit offensively.

Speaker 18 The Broncos would be 9-1 now if they scored 18 points in regulation.

Speaker 23 Every game, if they scored 18 points in regulation, they'd be 9-1.

Speaker 120 They are the exact same team.

Speaker 110 They just,

Speaker 12 it's free money. I don't want to say it's free money.

Speaker 27 It's free.

Speaker 44 Gamble responsibly.

Speaker 27 The Broncos under every week is free money.

Speaker 6 They just, they have the perfect combination of a very good defense, even without Bradley Chubb, and a horrific offense.

Speaker 30 So with Hackett, we always talk about the coaches saving my job moves. Giving up the play calling, I feel like that's a big one that that they can do sometimes.
Yep.

Speaker 30 Another one would be benching the quarterback.

Speaker 148 So I was thinking about it.

Speaker 157 If you were Russell, if Russell Wilson had any semblance of being a normal person,

Speaker 27 I think that maybe after Thanksgiving, so somewhere in like week 14, 15.

Speaker 135 Yeah, just, Hammy, I'm out for the year.

Speaker 120 Just just

Speaker 1 wash yourself from this year because you are on the Broncos for the future. You're stuck with this team.
They're stuck with you.

Speaker 44 Probably more.

Speaker 4 They're stuck with you.

Speaker 91 Just hit a complete men in black refresh.

Speaker 53 I'm out.

Speaker 27 Play the rest of the season.

Speaker 44 I come back next year.

Speaker 94 New team. Yeah.

Speaker 83 Like, you have to do that.

Speaker 16 Because at this point, Russell Wilson starting week 18 and just sadly being the same Russell Wilson who's been terrible this year.

Speaker 149 And again, he wasn't that bad today.

Speaker 86 I just, you have to like, you have to just flush this.

Speaker 27 You have to bury this entire season.

Speaker 30 Right. So there's zero chance that he gets benched.
And if he he did get benched, I'm pretty sure that they just fire Nathaniel Hackett immediately.

Speaker 14 Right, but he comes down to two of them.

Speaker 84 He should take he should, he should, he should do it himself.

Speaker 30 I'm super excited to see what Russell Wilson does this offseason because he has to he has to change him, he has to reinvent himself.

Speaker 30 And I'm just pumped to see what deep, dark hole of pseudoscience he falls down and gets super committed to for the next like five months because it's going to be some fucked up stuff.

Speaker 30 He's probably going to do like an entire documentary special with Gwyneth Paltrow.

Speaker 33 Yeah.

Speaker 30 Goop. Just, yeah, I'm going to make candles out of my butthole.
Yeah, goop.

Speaker 140 Russell Wilson's goop.

Speaker 51 I'm looking right now.

Speaker 97 We have one more prime time that's going to get flexed.

Speaker 30 What week is that?

Speaker 124 And they might not flex that because it's Patrick Mahomes.

Speaker 112 Patrick Mahomes versus

Speaker 10 Brussels Wilson. You know what?

Speaker 30 I'm making that my flex of the year.

Speaker 32 Oh,

Speaker 30 damn. Damn.
It's coming off.

Speaker 53 How many if we both win?

Speaker 139 Yeah, you would root for that.

Speaker 79 You're so nice.

Speaker 99 How can you not root for you to win and him to lose?

Speaker 146 No.

Speaker 51 That's just

Speaker 36 a normal guy, bro.

Speaker 79 I want you to lose. My

Speaker 30 I want to become the flex king of this show.

Speaker 103 My early reports were saying there's no shot the fuck they take out the cops.

Speaker 40 Oh, no.

Speaker 40 Oh, no.

Speaker 12 Okay, last two games: Bengals Steelers.

Speaker 21 The Bengals looked bad in the first half, and then the Bengals are back.

Speaker 24 Four touchdowns for Joe Burrow.

Speaker 91 It looked bad.

Speaker 8 Like, Joe Mixon was got hurt, and then the second half, they completely shut down.

Speaker 110 The Bengals' defense, I don't know what they do.

Speaker 134 Just every halftime they come out and they're a different unit.

Speaker 115 And then Joe Burrow looked good.

Speaker 21 And P.

Speaker 22 Ryan scored, I think, three decentralized.

Speaker 33 Three touchdowns.

Speaker 148 It was, yeah, it was like, oh, this is the Bengals. And I thought about it, and I looked back.

Speaker 74 And if you're a Bengals fan, it's been a weird start to the season because there have definitely been points in time where you're like, oh, this Bengals team is a flash in the pan last year.

Speaker 24 They're at the exact same point they were last year.

Speaker 23 Last year, week 11, they were 6-4.

Speaker 88 They then finished the season.

Speaker 23 Week 18, they had already clinched the division.

Speaker 26 They finished the season on a 5-2 run, playing

Speaker 44 that big win against the Chiefs,

Speaker 130 go to the Super Bowl, everything in front of them.

Speaker 27 I feel like I know that years aren't, you can't be like, oh, it happened last year, so it's going to happen again.

Speaker 96 But if you're a Bengals fan, you've got to be in the back of your head being like, oh, look at the schedule.

Speaker 148 We're 6-4.

Speaker 17 We've got a big game against the Chiefs in a couple weeks.

Speaker 111 We have basically the same setup where if we just get everyone healthy and put it back together, we're going to be in the exact same spot going into the playoffs.

Speaker 30 And you might get Jamar Chase back. And Jamar has right now reached the point of his rehab where

Speaker 30 he's just pretending that he's not hurt. He's like, you know what? They're telling me that I need to be using the crutches.
I'm just not going to do that.

Speaker 30 I'm just going to come back and play football.

Speaker 30 So you can, if you're a Bengals fan, you can be like, I have every reason to be optimistic about what's going to happen at the end of the season, as long as we never have to play TJ Watt again.

Speaker 30 Because I feel like T.J. Watt does get.

Speaker 40 That interception was so insane.

Speaker 30 It was insane. It was nuts.
I've never, like, a wide receiver probably wouldn't catch that ball most of the time.

Speaker 120 He's such a freak.

Speaker 122 He's an absolute freak.

Speaker 30 He's disgusting. And he's just a guy that I think

Speaker 30 he's kind of owned Joe Burrow for the last, what, three matchups that they've had?

Speaker 123 Two interceptions and two games this year.

Speaker 30 And then I think last year he also played pretty well against him. Yeah.
That's a guy that would start to haunt your dreams a little bit. Absolutely.
If you're Joe Burrow.

Speaker 44 But if you're a Bengals fan, you are saying, like,

Speaker 5 it's crazy that they're in the exact same spot.

Speaker 44 Yeah.

Speaker 24 They've at times looked great, at times looked bad, but they have everything in front of them.

Speaker 115 And if they get on a little mini-run here in December, where, again, big game against the Chiefs, like

Speaker 23 at home against the Chiefs in two weeks, they don't overlook the Titans, but

Speaker 150 this is like the Bengals are, it's deja vu all over again.

Speaker 88 Where it's like, we're going to be sitting here in late December being like, are they good?

Speaker 53 Yeah.

Speaker 16 We've lost some weird games, but yeah, they're good.

Speaker 30 I'm actually very comfortable with where we are with the Bengals right now, which is if you were to say, like, do we need to be respecting the Bengals more?

Speaker 30 I'd say no, I think we're respecting the Bengals the perfect amount. I think they're good.
And then

Speaker 30 if they win both of those games against the Titans and the Chiefs, then yeah, we do need to be respecting them.

Speaker 30 But right now, I feel like I have the proper amount of respect for the Cincinnati Bengals.

Speaker 89 Here's what I'll say about the Bengals in terms of

Speaker 149 6-4, 5-5 teams in that range, they're by far the most dangerous.

Speaker 6 Like,

Speaker 1 the Patriots, the Jets,

Speaker 74 and the Chargers are all in that 6-4, 5-5.

Speaker 7 Maybe even throwing the Colts at 4-6.

Speaker 148 Like, the Bengals are in that group. You're like, yeah.

Speaker 30 Maybe it's because we just saw it last year, but there's just something about Joe Burrow and the way they play defense in second half of games like yeah they might just put it together and just go on this run again my instinct was to be like no the chargers are my favorite team yeah right but but then if you put the chargers against the bengals i think the bengals just whoop the dog shit out yeah of course they do and and i did like that they went with the uh the siberian tiger look i like it but you didn't like it on the road no i'm still getting used to it so it's like when you run into your teacher at the supermarket and she's wearing clothes that she doesn't wear to school and you're like oh this is weird i feel strange like i know that you're the same person, but you look different.

Speaker 30 Like, I understand that it's the Bengals that are playing this game, but I'm not used to it enough yet. Yeah.

Speaker 166 My, my sidebar, my son, we walked by his school on Saturday.

Speaker 25 He's like, yeah, my teachers live there.

Speaker 53 Yeah. I was like, yeah, you're right.

Speaker 72 They do. They live there.
It's very true.

Speaker 145 Yeah. But yeah,

Speaker 131 I can't wait till they break it out in snow.

Speaker 104 Yep. That's very good.

Speaker 31 Because in the cold today looked awesome.

Speaker 27 When they break it out in snow, it's going to look awesome.

Speaker 83 But yeah, I think we're right.

Speaker 95 We're at the perfect spot of the Bengals.

Speaker 170 We have a healthy,

Speaker 30 the right amount of respect.

Speaker 5 They're not as good as the Bills and Chiefs right now.

Speaker 156 Yeah.

Speaker 77 But that doesn't mean they can't beat him in January.

Speaker 157 Yeah, A.

Speaker 113 Because Joe Burrow can do anything.

Speaker 30 The fact is, like, the Steelers, the Steelers could have beaten them today if the Pigeons showed up.

Speaker 113 Yeah, that's true.

Speaker 81 Pigeonless game.

Speaker 80 And Kenny kind of showed some flashes.

Speaker 94 The second half wasn't great. Yeah.

Speaker 76 But that's the Bengals' defense.

Speaker 30 I would like to see the ball jump out of Kenny Pickett's hands a little bit more.

Speaker 95 And that drop by George Pickens at the end, obviously they ended up scoring.

Speaker 166 But, yeah, that was, I don't know.

Speaker 3 If you're the Steelers, like, you just want to be in these games, TJ Watt be healthy and Kenny Pickett shows some flashes.

Speaker 25 Yeah, that's about it. We also had the,

Speaker 133 which is crazy, we had a 1-1-1 stat line.

Speaker 99 Trent Taylor for the Bengals, one catch, one target, one catch, one yard.

Speaker 53 Hell yeah.

Speaker 97 Love it.

Speaker 127 Stadhole Sports tipped me off to that.

Speaker 109 That's just, I don't know.

Speaker 138 It's fun. Yeah, it's like the Tony Snow stat.

Speaker 8 Yeah, that's a fun stat to look at.

Speaker 94 Be like, oh.

Speaker 99 He had one yard.

Speaker 30 I bet you Trent's listening to this right now.

Speaker 53 Yeah, he is.

Speaker 104 Shout out Trent 1-1-1.

Speaker 158 Yeah, you're in our 111 club.

Speaker 7 Is Joe Mixon really hurt?

Speaker 40 What happened to him?

Speaker 163 I don't know.

Speaker 30 I don't know if he's really hurt, but

Speaker 30 they don't lose that much. And Joe Mixon is a good running back, but they don't lose that much when Perine gets in.
Yeah.

Speaker 21 And the fact that they've been winning...

Speaker 101 Well, I guess

Speaker 134 this is off the bye, so they did lose to the Browns, but they can never beat the Browns.

Speaker 127 Oh, no, they played the Panthers last week.

Speaker 3 The fact they're winning these games without Jamar Chase. Oh, wait.

Speaker 30 They beat the Panthers?

Speaker 31 Yeah, no, the Panthers thing's over.

Speaker 30 The Panthers thing is dead. Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 5 Because it also is dead because the Falcons beat the Bears.

Speaker 33 That's right.

Speaker 53 So it's over. It died.

Speaker 21 It died in a double header today.

Speaker 109 Gotcha.

Speaker 97 All right.

Speaker 40 Give it up for Chicago.

Speaker 22 Cowboys 40.

Speaker 135 Vikings 3.

Speaker 62 Hank, you're a Vikings fan.

Speaker 76 Do you want to speak about this, Kim?

Speaker 116 Season's over.

Speaker 84 I mean,

Speaker 12 the fact that you jumped on...

Speaker 44 We've been so adamant that the Vikings are frauds.

Speaker 91 And you're like, you know what?

Speaker 96 They're good. And then this happens.

Speaker 6 That was a brutal twist.

Speaker 116 Yeah, not good. And then I will say this to Vikings fans.
If you lose to the Patriots Thursday, then the season's whose line is it anyway?

Speaker 53 I know. You guessed three and a half?

Speaker 139 I said it was three.

Speaker 30 Is the game in New England?

Speaker 1 No, it's in Minnesota. I said three when Hank and I were talking about earlier.

Speaker 8 He said three and a half.

Speaker 30 I said three. I'm going to say it's Vikings.

Speaker 30 Vikings five.

Speaker 130 What is it? It's three?

Speaker 156 Okay.

Speaker 44 Yeah, because I figured like three and a half, everyone would just jump on that.

Speaker 137 All the sharps, as they say.

Speaker 128 The Vikings are eight and two

Speaker 14 with a negative point differential.

Speaker 30 Yeah, minus two.

Speaker 163 Minus two.

Speaker 30 Point differential. And we talked last week about how they were the second worst point differential of any team to ever be 8-1.

Speaker 30 The number one team was, I think, the 76 Raiders who ended up winning the Super Bowl that year. Yep.
So every Vikings fan was like, see, we can do it too. They did it.
They had John Madden as a coach.

Speaker 30 He was pretty good, I'm pretty sure.

Speaker 124 This is the worst Vikings home loss since 1963.

Speaker 57 Ooh.

Speaker 30 That's bad. That stings.
So out of

Speaker 30 110 teams ever to go 8-2,

Speaker 30 they are the worst when it comes to point differential.

Speaker 141 Ooh.

Speaker 30 That's a pretty big sample size.

Speaker 14 And listen,

Speaker 110 I don't want to say we're right, but...

Speaker 147 God damn, we're right.

Speaker 18 We have been right.

Speaker 131 Yeah. Oh, Hank, don't give me that face.

Speaker 104 It's week 11.

Speaker 30 The Vikings got their pants.

Speaker 17 The Vikings have played two

Speaker 127 really good NFC teams, and they've gotten absolutely smoked by both of them.

Speaker 53 Like,

Speaker 53 you're right.

Speaker 21 But we're talking about the NFC and the playoffs and the NFC.

Speaker 50 The Vikings have had, like, the NFC is wide open.

Speaker 104 Absolutely wide open.

Speaker 96 But you'd have to say the Cowboys and Eagles are somewhere in the top, and they've gotten smoked by them.

Speaker 36 Absolutely smoked by them.

Speaker 99 And this one was never close.

Speaker 16 It was not only the Cowboys offense and Tony Pollard just being an absolute freak show electric factory.

Speaker 148 It was Kirk Cousins fumbling on the first drive and like

Speaker 106 it was just, hey, he didn't throw any interceptions.

Speaker 87 Yeah, that's good.

Speaker 30 Well, he threw what, like 105 yards. Yeah.

Speaker 83 Something like that.

Speaker 52 Yeah, he was he was under.

Speaker 149 He was the Kirk Cousins that nice guy.

Speaker 16 Good quarterback when things are going well, but man, did things not go well.

Speaker 30 Are they going to do any goofy stuff with chains and

Speaker 95 i don't know putting their jewelry on them after this game i just i i needed this one i needed this one to to feel sometimes it does it feels good to be right about a stupid take that we have well and it's also just a reminder that like i think the vikings are still a good team they still will go to the playoffs but we know like this was just so this was just a little uh message from the future yeah being like don't worry guys oh listen the the

Speaker 30 vikings are still a a very good nfc team but i don't think they're going to do any damage. I'm feeling very confident about the status of my ass with the Kirk Cousins tattoo situation.
Yeah.

Speaker 30 I feel real good about that. I might double down on it and say, like, I'll get two ass-cheek tattoos of Kirk Cousins.

Speaker 30 I'm not saying it yet, but I'm feeling confident enough to the point where I'm feeling really good about the bets that we've made.

Speaker 30 Fun little stat that came out of this game, kind of similar to that Panthers thing. The last seven teams that have beaten the Buffalo Bills lose next week.

Speaker 92 Ooh, Bills beat it out of you.

Speaker 30 They beat it out of you. So it goes back to 2001, all the way back to.

Speaker 53 Wait, wait, what?

Speaker 30 Or sorry, 2021.

Speaker 53 I was going to say, what the fuck?

Speaker 127 We've been missing out on money.

Speaker 30 Yeah, the Jaguars,

Speaker 30 when they beat the Bills, remember that? 9-6, the legendary game? Then they lose to the Colts the next week, going all the way back there. So it's a trend to keep your eyes out on.

Speaker 53 Okay.

Speaker 146 Yeah, that is a trend.

Speaker 137 That absolutely is a trend we need to start betting.

Speaker 113 Yeah, this game.

Speaker 69 was funny.

Speaker 30 It was kind of funny.

Speaker 79 It was very funny.

Speaker 30 It just kept getting worse.

Speaker 30 This game was over when at halftime,

Speaker 30 Brett Maher, who I always want to say Dan Bailey's just the kicker on the Cowboys.

Speaker 30 Brett Maher made two consecutive 61-yard field goals because they had to do a last-minute review of a CeeDee Lamb catch.

Speaker 13 Which was an incredible throw and catch.

Speaker 2 Dak Prescott, I think I saw the stat.

Speaker 170 It was a yard and a half out of bounds when he caught it.

Speaker 80 Like, that's so far out of bounds.

Speaker 72 Yep.

Speaker 30 And he caught it. And the kick, the first kick goes through, makes it by probably like a yard on the right section of the crossbar.
And then they're like, oh, he has to kick it again.

Speaker 30 No chance he makes it again. 61-yard field goal.
And then a second kick is even better than the first one. It's like, okay, this game's over.

Speaker 27 This game is officially over.

Speaker 50 I'm not going to just rub it in on Vikings.

Speaker 26 There's still a lot of season left.

Speaker 115 But they know.

Speaker 46 They know we know. And we know they know.

Speaker 3 That's the the best way to sum this whole thing up.

Speaker 30 Yeah, in a sick, twisted way, Kirk Cousins fucked me again on this one. Why? Because it would have been great if you beat the Cowboys for that.
Yeah, that's true. And he just absolutely

Speaker 30 shit the bed. But

Speaker 115 we know that you know. Yep.
And we know.

Speaker 53 And it's okay.

Speaker 75 It's fine.

Speaker 31 You got to still root for your 8-2 team.

Speaker 17 Don't apologize for being 8-2.

Speaker 12 The Vikings will probably end up winning.

Speaker 83 I'll say, I actually think they'll win 12 games.

Speaker 53 I think they'll go 12-4, 4, okay?

Speaker 93 And they'll be looking good.

Speaker 147 They'll have a home playoff game.

Speaker 87 They might even have two home playoff games, actually, right?

Speaker 92 Yeah.

Speaker 12 They have two home playoffs.

Speaker 30 A lot of stuff could happen because they only have two losses. Right.

Speaker 3 I think they're going to finish 12 and 4.

Speaker 83 They're going to be very good. 12-5.

Speaker 156 What?

Speaker 47 12-4. 12-5.
Sorry.

Speaker 170 12-5. My bad.
12-5.

Speaker 36 Actually, I might even say that 13-4.

Speaker 1 13-4. They're going to finish 13-4.

Speaker 25 That's going going to be a great record they're going to win the north easily they're going to have two home playoff games and what happened today will happen again and i won't take pleasure in it but i have to report the facts it's our it's our duty to report the facts i take no pleasure in reporting this big cat

Speaker 30 i think i think the vikings are only going to lose maybe one more game this season yeah no they they're i think that there's a good chance i'm look we're we're gloating a little bit as is our right, but there's a good chance that the Vikings could end up with home field advantage.

Speaker 25 Yeah, they play the Patriots and the Jets next two games at home with a mini-buy after the Patriots.

Speaker 115 So, yeah, if they win Thursday night,

Speaker 74 I would agree with you because it's Lions, Colts, Giants, Packers, and Bears who are going to be dead by that time of the season.

Speaker 92 Yeah,

Speaker 157 I'm saying right now, 13-4

Speaker 140 is

Speaker 100 absolutely what they're going to be.

Speaker 115 And

Speaker 115 it might be even better.

Speaker 30 Yeah, I think it's going to be a little bit better than that.

Speaker 159 So just rest on that.

Speaker 23 You're going to win 13 games at least.

Speaker 26 And then this is going to happen.

Speaker 96 And we're going to come right back to these seats.

Speaker 114 And again, I don't, I hate to do this because I'm just reporting the facts.

Speaker 30 And Vikings fans, I think, are great people. They are.
There's nothing against Vikings fans out there. If you are, God bless you, like you've dealt with your fair share of shit over the years.

Speaker 30 But at the end of the day, we need to have an understanding that this is not personal between us and that you know, that we know,

Speaker 30 that you know, that we know exactly what's going to happen.

Speaker 94 Yeah, I have

Speaker 21 one door to our castle that's open that I'm a little worried about.

Speaker 95 Uh, Wisconsin playing Minnesota on Saturday for the Axe.

Speaker 134 So I would like Wisconsin to win that.

Speaker 20 So, because that's like there'll be some Vikings fans that will scurry in that door of our fortress, and that will suck for me personally.

Speaker 169 But then we'll go back to just regular.

Speaker 30 That's fine.

Speaker 46 I mean, like, listen, I know, I know that door is open.

Speaker 145 I've been thinking about it.

Speaker 111 I literally started thinking about it last night, and I can't get it out of my head that, like, I'm going to have to deal with those mentions.

Speaker 62 And then, you know what?

Speaker 12 I'll deal with it like a man. I'll take it head-on.

Speaker 117 But

Speaker 86 other than that, the fortress is locked up.

Speaker 30 I actually think that this is the type of loss that could actually be good psychologically for Vikings fans.

Speaker 30 Because you know, as we've said, like, you know, these last two losses that you have on your schedule, you know exactly

Speaker 30 where the expectations, and there will be, as they continue to win, and as they maybe win a playoff game or two playoff games, the uh the Vikings army will swell throughout the playoffs, but it will be

Speaker 30 all for a moot point, and I think you'll understand that. Yeah, it'll be the least enthusiastic giant army of all time.

Speaker 25 Yeah, okay, so we'll we'll see you back here same time, same place, uh, somewhere around the divisional

Speaker 24 maybe even NFC championship.

Speaker 30 What we're doing is actually genius for us because the Vikings are going to continue to win. Yeah.

Speaker 30 And you're not at home allowed to get mad at us about the Vikings winning because we're telling you, like, we know. You guys are going to kick ass.
You guys are going to win a shitload of games.

Speaker 50 This is the part that we know.

Speaker 156 Yeah.

Speaker 30 But you know the other part.

Speaker 6 Yeah, the other part is the key part.

Speaker 53 We also know.

Speaker 30 I'm not going to say what that other part is. Right.

Speaker 73 Last point, and it actually is a perfect segue to Football Guy of the Week.

Speaker 8 Micah Parsons is a fucking psycho.

Speaker 93 He hurt his knee,

Speaker 18 went to the medical tent, came back into the game.

Speaker 130 The Cowboys were up 34 at this point.

Speaker 139 The guy just, he has to play football.

Speaker 151 It's crazy.

Speaker 84 Up 34.

Speaker 18 He actually got injured and then went back in the game.

Speaker 53 I don't know if Mike McCarthy just puts up his hands like, I can't stop him from wanting to play football, but man, does that guy love football?

Speaker 30 I love that. I love Dan Quinn.
I love that he continues to rock the backwards cap. He's completely rebranded himself.

Speaker 30 What if, oh, big cat, you know how you already said, like, preemptively, you're putting your bounce back team as the Panthers? Yeah. What if they hired Dan Quinn?

Speaker 53 Oh, that would be great.

Speaker 30 That would be.

Speaker 30 That defense would rock. He knows the division.
Yeah.

Speaker 101 That defense would rock.

Speaker 30 Yeah, the Cowboys, this is very encouraging for you because it probably makes you the frontrunner to get Odell Beckham as well. Oh, yeah.

Speaker 104 With this performance,

Speaker 30 Odell, I think he tweeted out something about like, oh, man, you guys are going crazy.

Speaker 30 I just love that Odell is, he continues to just be like, want me. Like, I want you to want me.

Speaker 103 Yeah. They went crazy today.
And then someone said, you celebrating on the star? And he said, with the mouth close emoji, I miss Saquon.

Speaker 12 I told you, the Giants, baby.

Speaker 103 So mixed signals.

Speaker 8 I think from the no sources that I have, Cowboys for the remainder of this year, then Giants.

Speaker 87 Next year.

Speaker 13 All right, football guy of the week.

Speaker 96 And we'll finish up with who's back of the week.

Speaker 11 Perfect. So last week's winner was Sam Porter's friend.
Sam Porter was the guy who texted his buddy and said that he was engaged with his

Speaker 11 fiancé. And the guy just started talking about the football game that was on between Kansas City and the Titans.

Speaker 11 So he totally didn't realize that he was talking about not being engaged in football, but engaged in real life. So shout out to Sam Porter's friends.

Speaker 11 So our first nominee this week is a bunch of dudes in Georgia who went to the Falcons Falcons game all dressed up as Mike Ditka.

Speaker 81 That was cool.

Speaker 11 That looks like a fun time. I think it was a bachelor party.

Speaker 148 Yeah, it was a bachelor party.

Speaker 101 And our colleague John Feidelberg pointed out, which I happen to agree with him, 20 dudes is a lot for a bachelor party.

Speaker 146 It's a lot of dudes. That's true.

Speaker 61 It's a lot of dudes.

Speaker 4 That's a hard bachelor party to like wrangle.

Speaker 116 What's the right number?

Speaker 30 I'd say like 10 to 12.

Speaker 169 Yeah, I was going to say 12.

Speaker 17 12. I would say inviting 12 and having 10 show up.

Speaker 30 That's probably perfect.

Speaker 157 That's right around the right number.

Speaker 30 And so there were 20 guys on a Sunday morning that were all able to get their acts together, get dressed up in the same costume, and be at the game on time. That's a shocker.

Speaker 95 And throw out what I said about the 20 dudes, because whatever his bachelor party has already happened, this is just more of like a future thing.

Speaker 27 That scene in the house, all of them probably a little still drunk, getting drunk again, putting on all the costumes.

Speaker 96 That had to be the funnest thing ever.

Speaker 14 Like that's just, that is just the epitome of guy friendship.

Speaker 158 Like being like, look how stupid we look.

Speaker 91 Yeah.

Speaker 46 Like and just getting a little goofy.

Speaker 24 Like you're in that goofy hungover state and you have a couple beers, you get drunk again.

Speaker 26 I like saw that picture and I was like, god damn it.

Speaker 113 I wish I was there.

Speaker 101 That looks so much fucking fun.

Speaker 30 That's kind of like a European thing almost. Like to all get dressed up together and go out to an event.

Speaker 30 Guys don't do that that much, but it's awesome.

Speaker 92 Right.

Speaker 17 And you know, like it's silly, but it's also so much fun.

Speaker 148 And it's just such like a, like, we need to do that more as guys.

Speaker 27 We need to just, you know, be hungover together.

Speaker 93 Because that is the best part about a bachelor party is not going out.

Speaker 7 It's waking up the next morning and having like laughs about what happened and still being a little hungover.

Speaker 6 And that first dude who cracks a beer at like 9 a.m.

Speaker 138 being like, let's get the party started.

Speaker 44 If I could bottle that friendship, that's the best friendship in the world.

Speaker 30 Do you think after the game, they like went out to a bar, met up with some girls, and then one of the girls started making out with one of the ditkas and then forgot which ditka she was she was hooking up with

Speaker 112 and came back and another ditka took it yeah yes i think it probably happened also if they went to the game i'd assume that some of them stayed the night which also is very fun friendship of being like stolen time we shouldn't still be on this bachelor party yeah it's sunday night like what are we doing northside tavern shout out in atlanta like that yeah now i'm very jealous these guys look like they had a fucking awesome time so i take back the 20 thing it is still a lot it's still a lot it's more it has nothing to do with like oh man, that's like too many friends have.

Speaker 90 It's more like logistically is a headache.

Speaker 94 Yeah.

Speaker 35 Like, how do you get... And it's probably...

Speaker 115 I went on one in Miami that was a lot of dudes and it was like, we had to like go, like, when we went to dinner, it was like, like, they sat us in like a, like on couches because, like, we don't have enough seating for you.

Speaker 30 It's probably also three different groups of friends, like, three different eras of friendships that the groom has. Can you imagine?

Speaker 30 What if you went to the Falcons Bears game today and you were just dressed up like Dikka just because you had been wanting to dress up like Mike Dikka at a Bears game, and you showed up.

Speaker 30 And there's just like 20

Speaker 163 other Dickas.

Speaker 62 Yeah, I'd go home.

Speaker 52 But yeah, I love these dudes.

Speaker 131 These dudes, that was, that's, the text chain's going to be popping off all week being like, that was the best weekend ever.

Speaker 138 And I, that's, that's something to, that's goals.

Speaker 11 Our second nominee is Wyatt Teller, offensive lineman for the Browns. Uh, his wife was concerned about him playing the snow, was asking all these logistical questions.

Speaker 11 Uh, she's pregnant, was very worried. And on the whole subject, Wyatt Teller just said, I like playing in the elements.

Speaker 53 Yeah.

Speaker 53 Yeah.

Speaker 72 Just a fact. Yeah.

Speaker 104 Just a fact.

Speaker 11 It doesn't matter about all the other crazy dangerous stuff.

Speaker 30 There was some college football player that was a recruit. I think he was at Nebraska this weekend.
And he showed up and it was, I don't know, 16 degrees or whatever.

Speaker 30 And he was just, he came out there wearing short-sleeved shirt just on the sidelines. Because he was like, this is what I'm going to be playing in.

Speaker 30 I'm going to take my recruiting visit here just sleeveless.

Speaker 82 Love it.

Speaker 11 Our next nominee is Cam Smith on the Gamecocks. After beating Tennessee about his halftime adjustments to the defense, this is what he had to say:

Speaker 11 what adjustments were made during that break?

Speaker 34 Nothing.

Speaker 103 Just drop your nice.

Speaker 53 I love it. Like it? Yep.

Speaker 11 And our last nominee is a high school kid from Madison, Wisconsin, Henry Suddy, who was born disabled but ended up learning to walk because he wanted to play football.

Speaker 138 Well, that's the winner.

Speaker 72 Yeah.

Speaker 131 Yeah, I mean, the dude's dressed like dick.

Speaker 100 You got to feel like assholes now.

Speaker 30 What about the guy that said we're just going to drop our nuts, though? Yeah, no. Well,

Speaker 11 this guy was inspired to play sports and learn to run because all of his older brothers played football and he really wanted to play football.

Speaker 31 Yeah, okay, all right. So

Speaker 99 you know, send him the nail nail of the football.

Speaker 11 Vox populi. What does uh yeah, that's how a football guy works.

Speaker 36 Yeah, my vote.

Speaker 99 My vote is for the disabled kid who learned how to run just to play football.

Speaker 30 I'm voting for Trump.

Speaker 162 Yeah. So reinstate him.

Speaker 30 The football guy of the week.

Speaker 3 Okay, let's finish up.

Speaker 64 Great show. Who's back of the week?

Speaker 172 The pro football football show is presented by the Chevy Silverado. Built for the hustle, ready for the game.
Chevy Silverado is America's most dependable full-size truck.

Speaker 172 Whether you're grinding through the week or gearing up for kickoff, the Silverado is one ride that's always game ready. Just like football, it's about grit, grind, and getting it done.

Speaker 172 Head to Chevy.com to learn more and build your own Chevy Silverado.

Speaker 18 Henry.

Speaker 53 Danny,

Speaker 159 can I say something? No.

Speaker 40 No,

Speaker 3 I need to say something.

Speaker 118 Fine.

Speaker 132 When you said that thing about my gambling karma, I think you're going to get the ball tonight.

Speaker 14 Like, I just been, it's been in my head, and I think you're going to get it.

Speaker 137 I do. I think you're going to get it.

Speaker 154 My who's back of the week is

Speaker 116 just classlessness from like what Big Cat's showing right now. Classlessness from the city of Philadelphia.
What?

Speaker 141 Oh.

Speaker 116 On Friday, Giannis.

Speaker 30 Dude, you're lashing out.

Speaker 116 Did you guys see the story?

Speaker 30 You are in one of your little moods.

Speaker 79 I knew it when you sat down.

Speaker 116 I did not. I am not from Philadelphia.
I did not choose to not let Giannis, one of the best players in the league, take some fucking free throws after the game.

Speaker 129 Every player should be able to do that.

Speaker 116 Joel En Lee does it on the road all the time. So for some reason.

Speaker 167 You have to request to do it. You have to request to do it.

Speaker 40 When Montres...

Speaker 163 He did not request to do it.

Speaker 116 Is there like an MVP? Like, you've won an MVP. You're one of the best players in the league.
You should probably be able to do whatever you want.

Speaker 3 I mean, you're talking about Philadelphia, who tried to starve the Houston Astros. Right.

Speaker 167 There was a worker there who was paid to do his job.

Speaker 167 His job was to change the courts after the game, not to wait around for Giannis to get his little free throws in because he missed 11 free throws and blew the game against the Sixers.

Speaker 55 Yeah, and Max

Speaker 85 went on a temper tantrum, and God forbid, there was somebody underneath that ladder when he threw it to the ground.

Speaker 89 Yes, it would have hurt someone.

Speaker 30 Max, let's remember that when Giannis practices free throws, he probably takes the full 11 seconds in between each one. So it's probably adding an extra like 45 minutes to this guy's night.

Speaker 91 I just love that Max came like locked and loaded with the facts.

Speaker 167 Oh, yeah. I mean,

Speaker 167 I was very into this story.

Speaker 40 Hank Hurt. Very into this story.

Speaker 141 Hank Hart.

Speaker 139 Yeah, for people who didn't see, Giannis was trying to shoot his free throws after the game, and there was a guy trying to take down

Speaker 13 the hoop with a ladder, and Giannis was literally pushing the ladder out of the way as the

Speaker 88 poor worker, depending on which side you're...

Speaker 116 Well, I mean, you're telling me that was Joel and Biet. Like, they're not going to let him shoot the free throws?

Speaker 13 Well, it's your court.

Speaker 53 Yeah. It's your court.

Speaker 40 Montreuse Harrel went and took the ball from him.

Speaker 78 This guy's got a family to get home.

Speaker 40 Wrong.

Speaker 156 Wrong.

Speaker 116 No, that's correct.

Speaker 40 Not the NBA.

Speaker 79 No, Polony is 76.

Speaker 116 It's a brotherhood. It's a family.

Speaker 129 All the rules apply to all the different places.

Speaker 116 NB does it all the time on the road. That's what I don't get where it's like Philly people are just like.

Speaker 140 I looked into it. You have to request.

Speaker 72 You have to request before the game.

Speaker 104 I looked into it, Hank.

Speaker 167 If you want to work out after the game at the court, you have to make a request before the game. Giannis did not make their request.

Speaker 11 Also, the basket.

Speaker 6 We need this clipped. I need this social clip.

Speaker 11 The basket on the other end of the court had already been taken down. So it was was like they were waiting for that was the last thing to do.

Speaker 61 They're trying to change it to the ice, Hank.

Speaker 30 Max, what kind of research did you do when you said that you looked into it?

Speaker 171 So many tweets.

Speaker 103 Well, for the Barcelona invitational, same venue. They ripped apart the court immediately after the buzzer.

Speaker 53 Yeah.

Speaker 103 Shit. I went to pack myself up after going to the bathroom.

Speaker 99 And the hoops were down. The

Speaker 103 center court sticker was gone. Yeah.

Speaker 72 They want to go home. Yeah.

Speaker 30 So Hank, just because Gianna says that all these other people need to stay around and work until, I don't know, 1, 1, 2 a.m. when they've got a family to get home to.

Speaker 30 Like, you don't sympathize with those workers?

Speaker 116 No, the guy's going to get some free throws up.

Speaker 167 No, Hank hates the blue-collar workers.

Speaker 138 It is sad. That's fine.

Speaker 53 Hank, what if

Speaker 30 after suit Hank has shown nothing but contempt for the common man?

Speaker 120 What would you do if after we finished recording tonight, I was like, wait, Hank, stay here.

Speaker 54 I want to practice my ads.

Speaker 53 Well, you would roll your eyes off.

Speaker 166 No, two days ago, you were like, Hank, stay here.

Speaker 116 I'm going to fucking pull the lottery ball machine 12 times.

Speaker 72 That was awesome.

Speaker 53 You could have left.

Speaker 3 It's my lottery ball machine.

Speaker 61 It needs to stay warm.

Speaker 112 It's like a car. It's wintertime, Hank.

Speaker 4 Make sure you look after your automobile. Right.

Speaker 116 So, yeah, I mean, I didn't care for it, but it is what it is.

Speaker 53 This didn't go the way you thought it would.

Speaker 116 No, I mean, I don't, listen, people are going to come at me and say I'm being a hater, but I'm just bringing light to the people.

Speaker 30 I don't think anyone's going to say you're a hater. No,

Speaker 116 absolutely not. My other who's back of the week is just goats.
Messi and Ronaldo took a picture together.

Speaker 138 Those guys are very handsome.

Speaker 30 They're attractive. They were playing chess in the picture.
Fun fact about that chess match.

Speaker 13 On a Louis Vuitton bag, I think.

Speaker 92 Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 30 Fun fact about that chess match that they were playing in. That board is the exact same setup as our goat, Magnus Carlson.
Oh. In his legendary match against Hikaru.

Speaker 104 With the butt plug?

Speaker 30 No, different. No.
But this one was the non-Adelbeads one. Got it.
Because Ronaldo definitely would have been the one that had the

Speaker 30 Coutrement. Yes.

Speaker 51 Messi probably won that match.

Speaker 92 Yes. Yeah.
I think he did. Yeah, looking at it.

Speaker 30 This is a legacy cup for Messi.

Speaker 155 Yeah.

Speaker 22 I bet on him. For sure.

Speaker 25 I bet on Argentina, which means they will probably not make it on the group stage.

Speaker 139 Oh, they will.

Speaker 86 We're going to have a big World Cup preview with Taylor Twellman on Wednesday's show.

Speaker 53 So get ready for that.

Speaker 137 PFT, your who's back.

Speaker 30 Yeah, my who's back of the week. I got a couple of them.
First one is Joe Flacco. We talked about him earlier today.
This tweet just came across my desk. Stephen A.

Speaker 30 Smith said, I can't believe I'm saying this, but if I were the New York Jets, I'd actually bring in Joe Flaca right now. Zach Wilson is giving giving you nothing.

Speaker 30 I'm not giving up on the kid, but this is too important. Bring in Flacco.

Speaker 33 It feels like he's giving up on the kids.

Speaker 30 He's giving up on. So Stephen A.
Smith agrees with me. Another great football mind.

Speaker 30 So, yes, bring in Joe Flacco. My other who's back is also the World Cup.
We had the first game today.

Speaker 30 But most importantly, the pageantry ahead of the World Cup and the opening ceremonies, highlighted by FIFA's president Gianni Infantino, gave a great speech. He said, Today, I feel Qatari.

Speaker 30 Today, I feel Arab. Today I feel African.
Today I feel gay. Today I feel disabled.
Today I feel a migrant worker. Wow.
It was very Michael Scott-like the way that he chose to address this.

Speaker 30 Didn't really do anything besides just make everybody around him super uncomfortable.

Speaker 94 Yeah.

Speaker 30 And everyone was like, what are you doing, man? What are you doing?

Speaker 30 And then they had the opening ceremony where they introduced the mascot who's just a giant white sheet that floats around everywhere like a ghost. That's cool.
That was kind of cool.

Speaker 30 They had the opening, the induction ceremony. And I didn't realize this, but MBS from Saudi Arabia, our guy, he was hanging out right there on stage next to the head of FIFA.

Speaker 30 And then, yeah, then it turns out that Qatar got their ass kicked 2-0.

Speaker 53 Yeah.

Speaker 117 I mean, that's

Speaker 65 quite a statement to give.

Speaker 103 In USA plays today.

Speaker 30 In USA plays today.

Speaker 30 You're going down Wales.

Speaker 40 Going home.

Speaker 94 Gareth Bale.

Speaker 175 You'll want this.

Speaker 115 Don't start nothing. There won't be nothing.

Speaker 87 Will you say something?

Speaker 94 Oh, I thought you clicked in.

Speaker 147 All right, my who's back is

Speaker 95 college football chaos figuring itself out.

Speaker 127 I know we talk about college football on Wednesdays, but what a Saturday.

Speaker 61 And the story of the day was Tennessee fans,

Speaker 3 who I feel bad for because they have always been kind to me with the Doug's era, but they spent the majority of the day expecting TCU to lose.

Speaker 115 TCU did not lose.

Speaker 21 Then spent the middle period of the day saying TCU sucks and they would get blown out by everyone.

Speaker 117 And then they got blown out by South Carolina.

Speaker 138 And it's just

Speaker 26 a tale as old as time: the college football, the chaos.

Speaker 3 It's not always Tennessee, it's someone else.

Speaker 134 Just when you think that you got it all figured out, something like that happens, and that's why it's the best sport.

Speaker 30 It does figure itself out. That's crazy.
Tessie's defense stunk.

Speaker 72 Oh, my God.

Speaker 30 It was like a joke how bad they were.

Speaker 6 Spencer Rattler looked like Spencer Rattler that we all have dreamed of.

Speaker 30 Yeah, so, but yeah. Now, again, in my projected draft order, I've got Spencer Rattler number one and Bo Nicks number two next year, as we've all expected.

Speaker 3 Yeah, it was a crazy day.

Speaker 61 The UCLA USC game was fucking awesome.

Speaker 117 Caleb Williams is insanely good. Insanely good.

Speaker 44 I saw some people saying, like, why are we talking about this next year's draft?

Speaker 4 Why aren't we talking about the year after with Caleb Williams?

Speaker 30 Yeah. Yeah.
This was a game where I saw, I think it was 76.5 as the over-under. And I was like, yeah, that's a big number, but that's such a big number that I have to take the over.

Speaker 30 And then it ended up getting, what, 93 points in that game?

Speaker 126 That was crazy.

Speaker 30 It was insane. It was awesome.
It was insane. Sucks what happened to Hinden Hooker at the end of that game.
That was tough to watch.

Speaker 52 Yeah, that really did suck.

Speaker 54 Because he probably had been awesome this year.

Speaker 30 And he probably would have been like a fifth rounder last year. And now it looked like he was going to get up into like second, maybe first round

Speaker 30 this year. But now he gets hurt.
It stinks.

Speaker 25 And it also is like Tennessee would have, you know, they beat Vandy next week.

Speaker 121 They're in a New Year's sixth bowl.

Speaker 24 Now you don't know if you could beat Vandy.

Speaker 175 Joe Milton just throws the ball 10,000 miles an hour on every pass.

Speaker 30 Yeah, and also, I mean, Vandy beat beat Florida.

Speaker 81 Yeah, so Vandy's kind of back.

Speaker 106 Stinks for Florida.

Speaker 16 Vandy's kind of back.

Speaker 170 That's Hank's pick, right?

Speaker 16 Anthony Richardson.

Speaker 31 Yeah, that was. But you know what?

Speaker 18 I'm going to back up my boy Hank in a rare case here.

Speaker 128 The victory lap that he got to do after week one was worth it.

Speaker 42 Because that was awesome.

Speaker 44 When it was like, I got him at 25 to 1, what was it?

Speaker 92 250 to 1?

Speaker 116 I think it was like 25 to 19. No, no, no.
That's what it went from.

Speaker 91 Oh, yeah, yeah, right. And you were like, look at this, sharp.

Speaker 18 No one's good at gambling.

Speaker 2 That's the fun.

Speaker 146 That's being like, wow, I got value.

Speaker 97 All right, Billy.

Speaker 11 My who's back is Chad Kelly and Sean Oakman. Yes.
The Toronto Argonauts are your CFL champions.

Speaker 92 All right.

Speaker 44 I gave it out as a pick. No big deal.

Speaker 95 Argonauts plus the points.

Speaker 30 How drunk do you think Swag Kelly's getting tonight?

Speaker 11 He's crying, currently.

Speaker 6 Keep him away from the vacuum cleaners.

Speaker 11 Yeah, he got very emotional.

Speaker 11 But crazy story, McLeod Bethel Thompson, the starting quarterback for the Toronto Argonauts, hurt his hand in the fourth quarter.

Speaker 11 And Chad Kelly got in the game, went four for six for 43 yards and two rushes for 21 yards and mounted a game-winning drive where AJ Alouette ran in the touchdown.

Speaker 11 But Chad Kelly getting into the end of the game in the fourth quarter to win a championship, that's something that wasn't on your score.

Speaker 2 I love the CFL.

Speaker 82 This game was 4-0 at one point, which is awesome.

Speaker 113 Yeah.

Speaker 166 Like, I just, and it always looks so fucking cold, and everyone's so hyped up.

Speaker 109 So, congrats to the Argonauts.

Speaker 11 12 guys on the field on each side and three downs.

Speaker 53 Yeah. Wow.

Speaker 11 And if you kick a field goal and miss it, but don't get it out of the end zone, it's a rouge point.

Speaker 170 Yeah, rouge.

Speaker 159 That's how it became 4-0. Yeah.

Speaker 30 Yeah. Yeah.
So this was Rob Ford's favorite team, right?

Speaker 146 It was.

Speaker 30 So Rob Ford, you have to imagine

Speaker 30 looking down from heaven and seeing Swag Kelly.

Speaker 40 Like,

Speaker 78 he would have loved Swag Kelly.

Speaker 11 Rob Ford is the Toronto Argonauts Harambe.

Speaker 92 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 126 That's good points.

Speaker 11 He's just up there smoking crap.

Speaker 30 I was going to say that Rob Ford's also the swag Kelly of Mayors.

Speaker 53 Yeah, he is.

Speaker 30 It really was a

Speaker 30 touching ending. Perfect team.

Speaker 11 Sean Oakman. I mean, both those guys, very different types of adversity, but crazy to see them winning a championship on a Sunday.
Very cool.

Speaker 130 Very cool.

Speaker 37 Jake.

Speaker 103 My who's back is coin tosses. We had an interesting story out of the FCS world over the weekend.

Speaker 103 The bracket just came out, and there was a tie in first place of the Ohio Valley Conference.

Speaker 80 Okay.

Speaker 103 Tennessee Martin and Southeast Missouri State were with a 5-0. They went down the whole list of tiebreakers.

Speaker 20 They were all even.

Speaker 103 They had to do a live-streamed coin toss on Twitter to determine who got the bid. And Southeast Missouri State won.

Speaker 53 Was that Tails?

Speaker 103 Awesome. No, Tails failed.

Speaker 171 They called Tails.

Speaker 40 That's bullshit.

Speaker 103 Who got to call it? But they did a Twitter live stream for a coin toss.

Speaker 2 You got to go best out of three.

Speaker 144 Who could go into the tournament?

Speaker 30 That's such horseshit that Tails lost.

Speaker 72 Coin rigged sucks so much.

Speaker 55 You know, that was an Ohio Valley, Ohio Valley rigged.

Speaker 103 You know, that's an NFL tiebreaker. It's step 12.

Speaker 110 Yeah.

Speaker 170 That's also a Big Ten tiebreaker.

Speaker 15 But the Big Ten,

Speaker 52 if it was like Penn State.

Speaker 171 It's in the NFL draft, which happens every year, right?

Speaker 17 It was Penn State, Ohio State, Michigan.

Speaker 111 If they had done the three-way

Speaker 117 and they all finished the same argument, it would have been a coin toss to see who goes to Indy.

Speaker 30 Can you imagine what it would be like if to determine playoff seating or whether or not you make the playoffs, they have a coin toss for it.

Speaker 30 You could probably sell out like a basketball arena or even a stadium. Sell out the stadium just for the coin toss.
Yeah.

Speaker 30 That would be incredible.

Speaker 134 Pay-per-view coin toss.

Speaker 103 Could you imagine? Yeah, an NFL, like step 12.

Speaker 65 That would be so sick.

Speaker 81 I'd watch that. Usually we got to like step on that.

Speaker 109 I bet on that. Yeah.

Speaker 134 Yeah. I mean, I bet on the coin 12.

Speaker 104 So does Rob Ford. Yeah.

Speaker 40 Yeah.

Speaker 127 Okay.

Speaker 30 Numbers. 16.
17.

Speaker 57 Oh.

Speaker 116 Let's go 15 for Anthony Richardson.

Speaker 143 Hank, have you ever gotten this?

Speaker 10 Nope.

Speaker 134 Can you give me a number, please?

Speaker 138 He said 15. I just gave you 15.

Speaker 53 No, honey.

Speaker 74 For me. No.

Speaker 143 Come on. No.

Speaker 69 Just one number.

Speaker 40 I've never had enough of your shenanigans. Oh, why?

Speaker 116 And after what you did last Thursday? Absolutely not.

Speaker 69 One number.

Speaker 18 Give me a number. No.

Speaker 171 What's your birthday?

Speaker 116 You don't remember.

Speaker 53 June.

Speaker 53 June

Speaker 103 16th. 16th or 17th.

Speaker 69 16th.

Speaker 175 Who's to know?

Speaker 1 All right, I'll go 16.

Speaker 103 Well, 17 is already taken.

Speaker 30 Wait, I'm going to log into our HR system.

Speaker 40 Well, no, I'll find it.

Speaker 103 Okay, thanks. Because I remember last year, the Papadida Day was on a Sunday night, so I'll just go to June 2021.

Speaker 155 Nice. That's

Speaker 167 context clues.

Speaker 103 Whatever that Sunday is, which was

Speaker 103 June 13th.

Speaker 67 June 13th?

Speaker 154 Wow. Fuck.

Speaker 40 I knew that.

Speaker 11 We need Elon to bring.

Speaker 138 Guys shouldn't know each other's birthdays.

Speaker 11 Yeah, but we used to know him because of shape.

Speaker 40 Shut up up about yours.

Speaker 81 It's birthday week, Hank. It's starting to.

Speaker 80 What do you want us to do?

Speaker 141 All right.

Speaker 89 Well, we've gotten it robbed from us because it's not Super Bowl week anymore, so you won't hear about it anymore.

Speaker 125 That's true.

Speaker 83 All right, so

Speaker 30 I took 17.

Speaker 105 17, I have 13

Speaker 1 for Hank's birthday, 69, 18. What's yours? 15?

Speaker 116 15. Anthony Richardson.

Speaker 30 17 just came up, right?

Speaker 53 Yeah.

Speaker 31 But we've had a lot of repeat.

Speaker 94 Yeah.
