Week 10. What? What? What? No, no, no.
Football season is once again among us. We start in Germany.
Guten Tag, NFL fans.

God bless you, Boom.

Tom Brady hoped to offset his crypto losses

by increasing the value of the Bucks.

Our foreign correspondent PFT commenter

was live in Munich for this one,

so let's kick it to him for a recap of the game.

Yeah, stop me if you've heard this before,

but we've got a team from Washington invading Europe

trying to combat the Blitz. Hey, speaking of Deutschmarks, here's another buck that's dealt with out-of-control inflation issues before.
That's right, it's Tom Brady. Hey, I know another leader who appealed to the power of Arians.
DK Mein Kampf got locked up and didn't write back. It looks like the Seahawks really missed their chancellor.
And boy, did that guy love Wagner too. Pete Carroll learned offense from Norm Chow, but ironically, it was his Norman D that let them down.
Rashad and Devin really rallied the German fans of the stands who were all having a blast talking about how great those whites were. As a nice change of pace, this time the leader who has absolutely destroyed his own face recently ended up winning.
Oh, and also Chris Godwin had a touchdown that sent the stands into a frenzy, but you know who else liked to rile up crowds? And that was PFT commenter unloading the clip. Bucks 21, Seahawks 16.
And back stateside in Kansas City, where Kadarius Tony Robbins did the hot coal walk down the sideline for a touchdown, reminding people your past does not equal your future. Or put more succinctly, when you catch balls from Patrick Mahomes, you'll actually be good at the NFL.
Christian Twerk had Chiefs defenders chasing him from behind, staring at his ass as he scored twice. Noah, that shit gray, balled so hard motherfuckers want to find me, scored, and the Chiefs were too much for the Jaguars.
As Chris Kirkpatrick Mahomes was in sync with his offense all afternoon and said bye, bye, bye to the Jaguars' attempt at an upset. Chiefs 27, the Jaguars 17.
In western New York, Justin Jefferson's starship flew above the defenders all day, singing, don't you want somebody to glove? Don't you need me to catch with this glove? In a game with too many cooks, it was dalvin who won top chef using the simple ingredients of a good block and pure speed the game was a wild one down to the end when eric jimmy kendricks recovered a fumble in the end zone making viking fans go into a purple haze of delirium and as we went to overtime it was the new Kirk Cousins leading the Vikings to an improbable victory, sending the haters, of which there are many, deep into a bottle of copium. Vikings 36, Bills 33.
Pass that copium, Teach. Mmm.
Over to Nashville, in a touching tribute to LeBron James, Lion Tannehill was back and reportedly told Coach Vrabel before the season began,

yeah, I think this Nathaniel Hackett guy is in over his head.

Also, there's no way that you'll send Will Compton to this team.

Speaking of Tannehill, his newfound weapon, Nick Westbrook-Akini-Mitada,

means no worries for their passing craze,

as they linked up for 119 yards and two touchdowns.

On the other side of the ball, people are starting to ask if Sus Wilson really is a quarterback at all. Huh? Huh? Huh? Titans 17, Broncos 10.
Up to Chicago where Bears fans are in a foreigner mindset as it feels like the first time, it feels like the very first time that they've had a franchise quarterback. As Justin ran all over the Lions defense, Skull Komet dipped into the end zone twice, but Bears fans felt he gypped out of a victory as Cairo missed a crucial extra point.
In a turn of events, Kennedy was the one that fired the last shot as Tom's 44-yard gain set up the game-winning touchdown for Detroit. As Lions fans are saying, I never knew there were road wins in this soup.
With Dan Chunky Campbell sealing his first victory away from home. Lions 31, Bears 30.
You can keep that part in. I thought about the commercial there.
Pass it down. Don't hog it off.
Don't hog it all. Down to Miami, where it was the docking bowl, as Chubb went head first versus Chubb.
But enough about that, as we better put this Chubb talk to bed before Deshaun Watson returns. Browns defenders couldn't quite hold on to Jeff Wilson Phillips as he ran for 117 yards and told Cleveland fans, things will go your way.
Just kidding, you're the Browns. You know this game sucked because everyone's least favorite character, Skylar White Thompson, made an appearance at the end.
Dolphins, 39. The Browns, 17.
Out to Vegas, where it may be Sunday, but Jeff Saturday is for the boys. Viva.
Speaking of for the boys, Jonathan Taylor-Lewan ripped off a monster touchdown run, and somebody please check his piss. And in a surprise start, Matt Ryan was rumbling, bumbling, stumbling, and rumbling for almost 40 yards in a scramble.
The most exciting moment of the game for the Raiders occurred before a kick when Fieri walked on the field to tell Josh McDaniels,

You're not that guy, pal. The Colts beat the Raiders 25-20.
Some spread. Off to the frozen tundra where we regret to inform you of the passing of Mike McCarthy's personal mentor Gallagher.
Hope the watermelons are ripe in heaven. The Green Day Packers have been playing like Dookie after their quarterback has been sipping on brain stew.
CeeDee Lambchop scored twice and for a moment, it felt like the game that never ends. It just goes on and on, my friends.
Some people started watching it, not knowing what it was, and they'll continue watching it forever just because Mason Crosby, Stills, and Nash won the game in overtime and reminded his quarterback, if you can't get the first round receivers that you want, love the one you're with. Love the one you're with.
Packers, 31. Cowboys, 28.
Standing on a corner, Jameis Winston down in Nola Such a fine sight to see It's Coach Tomlin and George Pickens Making the injuries very happy Come on, Pittsburgh TJ's not injured Put Jameis in, I'm sick of this ginger. Steelers 20, Saints 10.

And weather whatever in Ariat work gear okay week 10 in the books we got about nine minutes left in sunday night football chargers 16 49ers 13 right now we'll update when we finish it feels like a jimmy g doesn't have his a-game game when does jimmy g have his a every now and then but uh i think i a 49ers uh fan responded to me on Twitter. I was like, get your shit together, 49ers.
He's like, when Jimmy G is not playing well, the whole team just drops to his level. So Kyle Shanahan is obsessed with Christian McCaffrey.
Obsessed. He's like obsessed, like capital O, like butt crazy.
Going nuts. He's like a clinger a little bit.
He's calling every play for him. And sometimes they just get up to the line of scrimmage.
Oh, is this going to be a touchdown for Jimmy G? Nope, almost. Sometimes they get up to the line of scrimmage, and it just looks like the play call is just Kyle Shanahan and says run to the right.
Well, also there's these plays where Christian McCaffrey, and I know obviously a football mind will tell me I'm wrong and they actually serve a purpose, but there are some plays where he just wants to see Christian McCaffrey run in circles.

Because he'll just run behind the line of scrimmage a bunch of different ways,

and then Jimmy G will just sneak it going forward.

Just to distract him.

It's kind of a, look at my thumb, G, you're dumb,

for Kyle Shanahan in football form.

Or just having Christian McCaffrey run over towards the sideline

so Kyle can see him up close.

Just be like, yeah, he looks good, doesn't he? Yeah, he looks real good. I did that.
I brought him here. Yeah, he looks real good.
All right, so yeah, we will recap that. Week 10, crazy week, crazy games.
We usually go chronological order, which would mean we would start in Germany, but we have to change it up this time because we had what people are saying is the game of the year thus far,

and it is Vikings 33, Bills 30, an absolutely chaotic game. The Vikings are now 8-1.
Should we start with saying something nice about the Vikings? I'll say something nice about the Vikings. Justin Jefferson is the best receiver in the NFL.
And I'm confident in saying saying that what he did in that game, the catches he made, the fourth down catch he made was one of the craziest catches I've ever seen. He intercepted the ball from the defender with one hand.
And that was the, he had already made a one hand catch. He made like four or five catches in this game that everyone in the room stopped and was like, holy fuck, that was insane.
Yeah.

When he's not open, he's very open.

Right.

Just throw the ball in his general direction and he'll figure out a way to catch it.

The one catch that he made that everyone's talking about, he got his one hand on the defender actually jumped up in the air, got two hands on the ball.

Yeah.

They fall to the ground.

I bet you if the defender wasn't touching the ball at that point, I think he would have

dropped.

I think the defender like helped him make that catch. The game's over though.
The game's over if he doesn't catch that. He's insane.
He's not real. He did the gritty and when he did the gritty, a lot of people, listen, me and Big Cat are gritty experts here on the show.
We do gritty power rankings. Kirk Cousins still by far the best gritty that I've ever seen.
When he did the gritty and he pretended to popstring. Yep.
The announcers freaked the fuck out. They were like, oh my God.
They didn't understand. They were like, oh no, Justin Jefferson, because it was the first drive.
We've told you on this show, but if you don't bet the Vikings to like, you know, have like first quarter over or whatever the line could be, they always score in their first drive. I think it's six out of nine games now.
They score on touchdown on their first drive. Yeah, he pops the hammy gritty, and the announcers freak out.
And this is probably the only time very nuanced, detailed celebrations in the NFL is maybe the only thing that we couldn't be cool about anymore. Because, listen, we're very good at watching football.
We do right away. We're awesome're probably i'd say that we're like a maybe a top 100 football watcher in the united states right now yeah not not just so people don't don't get upset about that statement we don't know the most about football we just are the best at sitting there and doing nothing and and and visually just having our eyes on football games for as many hours as possible and absorbing the dumbest things about the games and becoming experts on those.
But yes, we're very cool, and so we knew that that's a thing that he's doing. It's part of the gritty.
Don't get tricked. The announcers flipped out.
They were panicking. They're like, is he going to be gone for the rest of the game? No, no, no, no.
No, no, no. That's just what the kids are doing with their gritties.
It's cool pretend you – Deshaun Jackson, he's actually way ahead of his time pretending that he's had a hurt hamstring for the last 12 years. Yes, he's been doing it for a very long time.
Justin Jefferson, though, and we talk about more stuff in this game, but I just – like what he does for this team and like the big playability and the catches he makes. And then you even saw it that um pass interference call that he got in the overtime i believe to extend the drive it was simply because justin jefferson had burned the bills so bad that day that uh whatever cornerback was on him was just so frustrated he just shoved them over he's like i'm sick of getting burned and i just don't want to do this anymore so i'm just going to try to push you and hope that they don't call it that's the like those are the plays that don't show up on his uh stat sheet which was 10 for 193 in a touchdown but every big play every big third down fourth down it felt like the vikings were just hanging on and whenever they needed something it was like all right i'm just gonna throw it and kins is like, I'm going to throw it in Justin Jefferson's general vicinity, and I know that he will make a play because he's better than everyone else.
Yeah, so I actually was thinking about Justin Jefferson's ability to draw pass interferences because that's something that isn't tracked as much in your stat sheet as it could be. And it's actually like a real big asset.
If you can get good at drawing those interferences, those are as good as catches yeah like in terms of game flow in terms of what it means to help your team win and so i actually had stat whole sports look up how good certain players were uh justin jefferson was he was uh number six in the nfl last year in terms of yardage drawn from pass interference okay who was one number one? Tyreek? No, Tyreek is number one this year. Okay.
In fact, the Dolphins, both Waddle and Hill, are both top five in the NFL at drawing. I think that's what Mike McDaniel learned.
He's like, we can absolutely hack the rule book. If you just run faster than everyone.
And then probably maybe get underthrown just a little bit. No, no, no.
Just a little bit. No, no, no, no.
And then you start working your way back to the ball you get interfered with i'm just saying like careful teaming those guys a lot of lists teaming those guys up with tua who occasionally in practice wind wind will throw into a heavy wind wind uh that's like that is the new money ball yeah it's just fast fast wide receivers with like 95 percent arm strength quarterback joe flacco showed us the way. He did.
He absolutely did. So Brandon Cooks was number one by far last year.
Okay. He's really, really, and I think that's something he's been consistent at.
But also number two this year is Cortland Sutton, and he was number two last year also. So he's just elite at it.
I wonder, too, that's a very funny stat because I bet you there's something something too with like Brandon Cooks being number one last year. It probably helps that he's the only weapon on the Texans.
So there's multiple defenders and more of a chance for him to get past interfered. That's true.
And our friend, Sam Schwartzstein told me he was talking to me a couple of weeks ago about like how cornerbacks, how you have to be really good at cheating to be really good at playing Seahawks and being the position. Yeah, they'll change the rules for you.
If you break the rules hard enough, they won't call it every single time. So he was saying that actually cornerbacks that get called for a lot of pass interference are usually the best quarterbacks in the league because to commit pass interference, you have to be close enough to the man that you're covering to reach out and touch him.
Right. Which is a real backwards way to look at it.
It's the old Derek Jeter, friend of the show now, but you can't get an error if you don't get close to the ball. That's very true.
It's exactly the same thing. You don't touch it.
Yeah. So this game, though.
It was awesome. It was awesome.
It was awesome. It was crazy.
Like, the Bills, we should talk a little bit about the Bills, the fact that the Bills, as good as they are, it does feel there's two games now that I can point to where it feels like, for lack of a better way of describing it, they've been kind of playing with their food. Like the Packers game on Sunday Night Football, when they were up a lot, they should have won.
It should have been a total blowout, and it kind of got weird at the end where they only won by 10 and then this game where they were in control of the entire first half they were in control of the start of the second half it felt like there was that moment where they were going uh they were up they were up 10 they didn't kick a field goal it was fourth and two josh allen threw an interception which ended up not mattering because it's a it's fourth and two so you're just trying to make a play and then that moment on, it was like, wait, the Bills could lose this game? And then just crazy plays kept on happening for the Vikings up until the Bills win the game with Kirk Cousins getting stopped at the one-inch line, and then the next play, the Bills fumbling in the end zone for a Vikings touchdown, which was one of the craziest two-play sequences because Kirk Cousins looked like he got in with a second effort but didn't. And then the next play, Josh Allen, center, fumble, I don't know whose fault it was, and Eric Kendricks dives on it, and the Vikings, people were saying as a ball don't lie, it was not because it was correctly called that Kirk Cousins was down.
But it was wild. It was wild.
It was crazy at the end of that game, and the way that the Bills ended up losing it was actually very Vikings-like. Yeah.
It was a very Vikings ending for them where it's just like the game's wrapped up. It's in their hand.
And it was just heartbreak for them at the end. But it's also very Vikings-like.
Now, Vikings fans, this is where you'll start getting upset. I do think your team is good.
That was an impressive win. I'll say that.
Kirk Cousins made some big-time throws, mostly Justin Jefferson catches, but he also made some doy-doy plays. He made some big-time throws also to the Bills.
Yes, he did. He made a couple doy-doy plays, but a road win in Buffalo against that Bills team, no matter what status Josh Allen is, deserves credit.
So I'm giving you your credit right now. 8-1.
There's there's some luck in there, but that's you don't apologize for luck. You're eight and one.
But like having that sequence happen is very that's a that was a microcosm of this Viking season because it does feel like they're getting a lot of the bounces. And sometimes it's just your season.
Yeah. And this is where I start getting worried that maybe the bounces just keep going all the way to the Super Bowl.
And then also they have an impact fullback, as we've discussed on this program. CJ Hamm got a nice touchdown in there.
Their running game, just overall. Dalvin Cook, yeah.
That's what's going to be a problem. The Vikings are a good team.
I will freely admit that. The Vikings are very good.
It's past the point where we can say otherwise. No, I can't.
So we could come on the air right now and we could say that the Vikings are complete and total frauds. But that would be disingenuous because I don't believe that the Vikings are complete and total.
I think that they're partially frauds. I think they're a very good team that now.
They're fraudulent adjacent. I would say I am worried that they would get to the NFC championship game.
I am now officially saying that because the way the nfc is shaking out it feels like if the vikings will get that second seed and uh whoever is the seventh seed is going to be a team that we think about as like oh watch out for them like a packers um possibly maybe a seahawks or 49ers or i I mean, Rams are kind of dead. But one of those teams, or the Giants maybe, and I think the Vikings will beat them and be on their way.
I'm a little worried. I'm a little worried because they will have home field advantage until the NFC change.
The Vikings will probably win a playoff game, and we will get nervous at that point. I'm worried about the Bills' defense because we talked about it a little bit last week.
They feel a little bit small on defense. They feel like they got run on.
Yeah, they're built to play with a lead and to stop opposing quarterbacks from passing. They're built to get after the quarterback.
They're not really built to plug up those holes. And they got gashed.
What are you going to say, Hank? One and three without Jordan Boyer. One and three without Jordan.
He's significant. I also, we should have a Josh Allen discussion.
We are a Josh Allen podcast. We were probably the first one.
We love him. He makes too many tackles.
Best friend of ours. So there's two ways to look at it.
One is he has been making some mistakes. Like he, that was a bad throw in overtime uh i still think the fourth and two you're just making a play it if you can't convert the fourth down an interception doesn't matter yeah uh it was a bad throw in overtime he obviously had a bad game against the jets he made another bad interception against the packers uh when they were trying to put that game away i as as bad as those look i do believe people call us bias, that's just the Josh Allen experience because what he does well, you have to let him play freely.
And he just, like, getting down to where that interception took place, he was making insane runs. He made big-time passes to get them to overtime.
It's kind of a you take the good with the bad, and sometimes there are some bad throws,

but that's just how he plays.

You can't put him in a box.

You can't be like Josh Allen game manage.

You can't tell the cage bird not to sing.

You know what I mean, though?

And I know people will say, oh, you're just saying this,

and you're excusing a bad throw.

It was a bad throw.

It was a bad throw, and I actually said it

when we were watching live.

I was like, I feel like a bad throw is going to happen. He was taking a lot of chances, and I think when he's even partially injured, when he's 3% injured, those throws that he usually gets away with, because he always makes weird throws that you watch him, and you're like, you should not pass that ball.
It's a bad idea, but he makes it happen because he's the only person on the planet that can do some of the stuff that he does. But if he's just a just like a little bit injured even, all those throws turn into like the worst mistakes that you've ever seen.
Right, exactly. And so, yeah, it's tough.
He does make too many tackles on defense. Just like let a couple, let a wide receiver chase that guy down occasionally.
And he's still running people over. He's jumping over people.
He plays recklessly, but that's kind of what's awesome about watching him. It's absolutely if he stopped if he stopped playing recklessly it would i mean would take away all the joy of watching josh that's my point it's like you can't you you can't walk away from that game being like oh man we got to fix this issue yes he has to make better decisions at times but all the good things that happen are because he's he's just like playing this free football where it's like He's running over people.
He's throwing it long. So I don't know.
I mean, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it,

it,

it, All the good things that happen are because he's just like playing this free football where it's like he's running over people. He's throwing it long.
So I don't know. I mean, it does feel like the Bills are, you know, in that funk, that midseason funk that teams can get into, especially when you are a Super Bowl favorite and you're killing everyone.
And it's like, oh, we're just waiting for the big games. This can happen to teams.
So it will be interesting to see how they respond. They need to write it.
They need to get, I don't know who they play next week. Home against the Browns.
All right, so that's got to be a whomping. I expect that to be an absolute whomping, and if it isn't, then I will say, hey, something's wrong because the Vikings, like we said, are a good team.
They're good. Now, if I were to disrespect the Vikings, which I won't do.
Nope. Because we're saying very nice things about them.
Never said that. I would point out that since the merger, the Vikings are the second worst eight and one team of all time in terms of point differential.
Oh, I would say that. I'm not going to say it, but if I were to disrespect him, I would bring that up.
Now, PFT, pretend that I am five years old. What is point differential? That's the points that you score minus the points that the other guy scores.
So if you score more points than the other team, and you're 8-1, if you're 8-1, you should have a lot more points than the other team. Yeah, you should.
You should have a ton more points than the other team. How many more have a ton more how many more do the vikings have uh these vikings have hang on uh plus 35 right now they have 30 they're eight and one they're eight and one so what's eight what's 35 divide by eight i'm not a math guy was that like about seven like four that's not no no jake whoa no jake jake oh no 35 divided by 9 is actually the place that we're looking at.
Oh, boy, it's like 4 and a half. Whoa.
No, Jake. Jake.
Jake. Oh, no.
35 divided by nine. Is that the first place that we're looking at? Oh, boy.
It's like four and a half. Yeah, that's bad.
Is that right? That's about right. So I really want to find out more about the 1976 Raiders.
Because the 1976 Raiders were eight and one, and they had a cumulative point differential of 11. I like that.
Off nine wins. They were 11 points better than they were born.
They had to have lost by

a billion to one team. Which I would actually

respect. Well, that's kind of what the

okay, now I'm talking my way back

into respecting the Vikings again because they got

killed by the Eagles, which means that they're probably

beating other teams

by a decent amount. But yeah,

congratulations to the Vikings. Congrats, Kirk

Cousins. They're a good team.
He didn't wear any of the

chains. He didn't do the Kirk Thuggins thing like he did last week.

He didn't do anything?

No.

I thought we were expecting something.

They were going to.

And then Kirk was like, I think that's probably reached the end of.

It's actually like a great move by Kirk to nip this in the bud.

God damn it.

If it went on week after week, then it would get really lame.

But he cut it off after like two times when it was cool.

So fucking Kirk Cousins.

I hate how much I like you, you piece of shit. That sucks.
You very pleasant, likable asshole. And the perverts and sicko Viking fans that are listening to this and listening to us have to compliment their team knowing how much it pains us.
You're right. It does pain us.
And I will say the refs missed a call in overtime too was Gabe Davis. Gabe Davis.
No, going to overtime. It was to get the field goal to bring it to overtime.
There we go. At the end of the fourth quarter, Gabe Davis dives out of bounds.
He lost control of the ball on replay, but they sprinted up to the line of scrimmage, and they ran a play before the replay official could buzz down. But this is why.
Skull don't lie. This is why I'm about the vikings because their luck is so overpowerful overpowering of the other team that even when they get screwed they still want yeah because you get the rule is you can't complain about that call when you win like you can't be like well what about that call no no you want yeah so it's it's all good but that's that's how that's how strong their luck has been this year it's been pretty good it's been very very strong it's been good and the vikings are uh i mean i would be confident if i were them because today you prove that you're not a fluke yes it's not it's not a fluky team that you have no you can play with anybody no they can't but the bills are everyone thinks the bills are the best team or one of the best team vik fans are also deeply, deeply scarred from the things that they've seen in their past.
Yeah, in the history of their franchise. I'd say that they're probably...
They're up there with the Falcons for being the most... They carry around a certain heaviness to a Vikings fan.
It's just always in the back of your head, like, this can't be good. And we've talked about it.
They're also Timberwolves fans. Twins fans.
Wild fans. Yeah yeah wild fans yeah i mean the lynx shout out the lynx i actually i like links are a fucking dynasty i know that they don't like me because of what i've said about kirk cousins in the past i actually like vikings fans i would do the exact same thing that they do right now if i was a oh no it's it's actually the purest form of like all's fair and when vikings fans get like shitty in my mentions I'm like, this is, I'll keep saying what I'm saying.
You say what you're saying. We have our lines and it's respect.
Yes, Minnesota nice. Yeah, it's a respectful like, you don't like me, I don't like you.
But we also kind of like each other. It's the very definition of Minnesota nice.
It's like, I hate you, but I'm still going interacting with you because like you're you're being friendly yeah right right and then when we get the last

laugh you'll have to listen to that and it's coming that's very true i've already got my

ass cheek picked out i'm going i'm going with the right one nice right butt cheek i think i'm gonna

go tramp stamp if i have to get face kurt cousin's face it will already like kind of ruin everything

so why not just really ruin it the thing about guys asses is that like nobody looks at a

I don't know. Kirk Cousins face on the smaller back.
It will already kind of ruin everything, so why not just really ruin it? The thing about guys' asses is that nobody looks at a guy's naked butt and is like, oh, that looks hot. So I could have Kirk Cousins face.
I could actually go across both butt cheeks and have his mouth be the hole. I might be the grundle.
I'm going to put him in the grundle so he's eating my ass now we're talking and that's talking viking's bills all right uh next up oh last thing justin jefferson uh now has the most 100 yard receiving games in the first three seasons for any wide receiver he just passed uh randy moss so that's pretty crazy that's awesome yeah pretty nuts he has 20 of them he is very fun to watch. He's so fun to watch.
All right, back to Germany. Bucs, Seahawks.
Bucs 21, Seahawks 16. The Bucs, it feels like this is now the Bucs that we've been waiting for.
Their defense played well. Their run game actually showed up, which was crazy.
And the Bucs slowly maybe have been riding the ship. Like that was a big time zone game, though.
It was. No, and I told you.
I told you those tweets were coming. Tom Brady, the first ever quarterback to win in four different countries.
It's a sad torch passing game, though. Why? Did you guys hear this stat? Big time passing the torch for this one um tom brady just surpassed blake bortles to become the uh league leader in passing yards in international games wow that is sad tom brady now has 1210 international passing yards wait take out mexico though north america shouldn't international games yeah i know but it should just be non-North American games.
European. So I think we still get it.
Okay, because Blake Bortles has 1,209. So Brady has one more yard.
So either, wait, wait, wait. We could also go back and review all the film.
Yeah, I would like to do that. And take out, see if we can find one incorrectly scored throw by Tom Brady.
I would like to do that, yes. And restore it because there's no chance that Tom's going to continue to play.
This has got to be towards the end, right? He's not going to play another international game. He's lost a lot of money recently.
He lost the FTX thing. A lot of money recently.
He's probably going to be around for the next 20 years. Yeah.
He, between a quick way to get a guy to keep having to work really hard at his job. Yeah.
Divorce and being involved in a crypto scam. That's about it.
And there's a massive overlap in those two. Yeah, that is.
Yeah. I would say he's he's kind of hit the bingo this week or.
Yeah. This last two weeks of everything you don't want to have happen.
I've got another crazy stat here. The Bucks have scored 21 points or less in all five of their victories this year.
That is crazy.

I mean, they are...

The way that... And I bet on the Bucs this morning,

and I basically... Everyone knows I've...

I'm actually climbing out of my hole

of what they put me in, in terms of

trusting them to be a competent

team. They basically...

Their defense is still very, very good,

and Antoine Winfield was back.

If they can play competent, semi-competent

offensive football, which they were able like this is the first time they were they've been able to run the ball all year Julio Jones showed up that was crazy uh Tom Brady was good outside of his interception like that that looked like a team as good as the Seahawks season has been they're just better than the Seahawks like they were just a better team than Seahawks now they're five and five they're uh I think the Falcons are four and six but they are one and three in the division so like the Bucs now have everything in front of them where if they don't totally fuck up we're gonna be sitting here they're gonna have a home playoff game in January yeah and Tom Brady might extend his career by switching to wide receiver yeah because that was a hell a hell of a route that he ran. Well, he ran two routes today.
The first one, they put him out wide. Nobody covered him because, yeah, why would you cover Tom Brady? He cannot throw and catch the ball at the same time.
Correct. As his ex-wife pointed out to us.
Yes. He was out there all by his lonesome.
They did not guard him. So they went back to the well and they're like, okay, if you're not going to guard Tom let's have playoff lenny or germany lenny who whatever he goes by over in europe let's have leonard fernette just take a direct snap and throw a ball to him tom fell down slipped on the grass and then got called for tripping yes on the same place it might have been i'd say that might be the worst play of tom brady's career yeah uh what the dropped uh catch in the super bowl yeah all of his all of his worst moments are when he's playing wide receiver.
Yeah, yeah, right. Don't put him out wide.
I think Tom Brady is a good quarterback. Let's keep him there.
I'm going to say I agree. I concur.
Doctor, I concur. You've seen more Tom Brady plays than probably anybody.
Would you say that that was top two worst Tom Brady moment? Yeah, Super Bowl was probably one. Yeah, that ball going through his hands.
Max, what did you think about that one? I enjoyed that one. Okay, so we got the whole, we got the whole, all sides on that one.
I really did enjoy the German presentation. It was just something new.
Yeah. You know, like it was new.
When they sang Country Roads. Awesome.
And the entire stadium sang along, that that was cool it just confirms that song is just like one of the it's it's mount rushmore sing-along songs also all the pictures of the enormous beers that the germans get to drink in their stadiums that fucking ruled like they were just drinking personal pictures and i was like what the fuck want one of these. They have to do that during Oktoberfest next year.
Yeah. I agree.
Something new. We've watched the same England game, it feels like, 100 times.
Yeah. That was cool.
It was like, you know, just even the National Anthem. Oh, the 49ers just, wow, that sucks for anyone who has the 49ers because they just intentionally, I feel like, went down twice.
That was weird. That's tough.
Yeah, that was weird. And then they're going to kick a field goal so they can still lose this game.
That's very weird. One thing I enjoy seeing on TV, or I guess I just noticed it in the European games, is the Jumbotrons overseas are way smaller than they are here in the United States.
They have a long ways to go to keep up with American football stadiums.

There's no place in Germany or in England that has the Jerry World jumbotron that covers the entire field.

Yes.

They have a tasteful, small television that's massive.

Yeah, nice one.

Let's actually watch the game.

Exactly.

It's like when you go over to a more mature friend's house and they don't have a big TV room.

Yeah.

They've got a sitting room, like a parlor.

Their life isn't revolved around sports.

Yeah, they've got like a sitting room like a parlor they don't their life isn't revolved around sports yeah they've got like a library they take a book out that's what i see when i see these german small little jumbotrons that they have up in the corner but it was it was just cool to see something new yeah it was cool to see something new um also uh special shout out to uh devin white who hasn't had the best season he He had the strip sack of Geno Smith that basically changed the game because it was a 14-point swing. The Seahawks were going in.
I didn't realize this. Afterwards in the postgame, he found out his father died like two hours before he got on the plane, which is insane.
To have to deal with that going over to Germany. That play kind of changed the outcome of the game because, like I said, the Seahawks were going in for a touchdown

and he gets the strip sack, the Bucs go and score and make it a 21-3 game.

It was fun.

And also, the Seahawks, it was reported before the game,

they're going to have a little talk with Geno.

Maybe have him be the franchise quarterback.

They're going to extend him? They said the report going they're planning on talking in the offseason oh yeah they said that they're not gonna have the conversation now yeah which is I mean I think that's probably the smart move with Gino because you are still waiting for we've got a good body of evidence on who Gino Smith is and you keep waiting for that Gino Smith to show up again. up again yeah but it's always it's been just good geno for a shockingly long amount of time so i think the seahawks are like everybody else they're like let's get to the end of the season and make sure that you're still geno smith right for the next month because i don't believe what i've been seeing really yes yes exactly it's just it was like okay cool they're gonna plan on having that it basically when, if you're like, start dating someone and you're like, are we ready to have this talk? Let's have this talk later.
Let's go. You know what? Let's do Thanksgiving and Christmas time.
Then we'll have the talk. See how you get along with the family.
Yeah. Which usually means it's not going to work out because usually you don't even have to have the talk.
You just know. Yeah.
But I'm rooting for Gino and the Seahawks, these crazy two kids, to figure it out.

Permission to do a little coward?

Yes.

He's like a Waffle House.

Gino Smith is like a Waffle House.

He's relatively inexpensive.

You go there, and you're usually pleasantly surprised with what you get.

You have an overall good encounter, but then sometimes somebody gets punched in the face.

Yeah.

And that's kind of the Gino Smith experience. Yes, that is the Gino experience to a t um and and they don't pay the bill yep yeah that's that's the other part uh okay next up uh line oh we wait um so i wanted actually to say this real quick bucks tell me how many wins they have on on their schedule ready at browns win first saints win at niners lost personal revenge game for tom brady well and for kyle and for kyle i believe that out browns game is the sean's first game back no he's the texans member oh yeah yeah they're gonna bury that game so deep so deep in the 1 p.m time slot they're probably gonna like they're gonna start at 1 30 yeah they might actually do a running clock they might send it overseas and not announce it yeah okay so that's two is uh verse the bangles at home uh win okay at the cardinals win okay verse the panthers at home win at the falcons loss okay so based on that yeah and they're extremely scientific they're a 10-win team yeah which it's crazy considering how bad they've looked at times but that does feel about right 10-win team going in the playoffs home playoff game probably gonna win that one and then everyone's gonna be like is Tom Brady gonna do this again Jake remind me that as much as I bet on the Bucs this year uh and then Justin Herbert just threw an interception game over go down go out 49ers won by six they just teased everyone with minus seven huge that is a very can't lose parlay just cashed again that's a very weird sequence of events that happened at the end of that game with Kyle Shanahan yeah why did Why did he do that? Why would you not want to go up two scores?

I think on third down, the running back tripped.

Oh, okay.

That would make sense.

Yeah, it didn't look intentional.

Because, like, two scores is a big fucking deal there.

Yeah.

Yeah.

The play calling felt like they were not trying to score, but I don't know.

Wait, what's the reminder?

Reminder.

Divisional round.

No.

Yes, divisional round.

Go against the Bucs.

Okay.

Okay?

Because that feels like – doesn't it feel like PFT,

they're going to win their first game at home,

and then everyone's going to get whooped up being like,

Tom Brady's going to do it again.

He's – you know, this team, they've peaked at the right time. It's kind of like what happened last year.
Yeah, a little bit. They are still limited.
So let's just remember. I would say they're quite limited.
Yes. So let's remember that fact so that we don't get duped and we don't sit here being like, what the hell? Why did we do this? Let's just put in that reminder, divisional round.
Go against the Bucs because they're going to win, and then we're all going to say, oh, man, this team is going to win the Super Bowl. I don't want to fall for it.
Anything else from this game? Early games. Do we have any left? I'm not sure.
There's one in Mexico. I don't know if that's early, though.
It wouldn't be. I'm done with them.
I'm done with them. It's just, it's a lot of football.
And I love football. I do, too.
But it's just my favorite thing in the world. But it also, I need like a couple hours sprinkled here and there at some point in the day to do like basic things.
To get my, yeah, to shower. Yeah.
It goes Monday Night Football. Okay.
Okay, nice. That will be fun.
But you know what I'm saying? Like, I just need, I don't ask for that much, Commissioner Goodell, but please just allow me an hour where I can brush my teeth and maybe put some body wash on my armpits. Right, right.
That's all I need. I'll remain dedicated to your league and the game for the rest of the day every single Sunday.
Just give me a moment where I can take a crap. Or just do college football stops being every weekend.
Yeah. Because it's really just the turnaround is always what gets me.
Yeah. You're watching football all the way until Saturday night, and you turn around and boom, football.
It's very embarrassing also if you're, like, with family that doesn't care for football that much. If you're, like, visiting somebody, and you watch football all day Saturday, and then you start again at, like, 930 in the morning on Sunday, and they're like.
This is just all you do? Yep. This is all I do.
This is it. This is all I do.
Quickly about this game, the Niners. I mean, this was a game the Niners sort of had to win because it was off a bye.
They're 4-4. The Seahawks lose.
Now it feels like the Niners are ready to turn the full corner and start playing some good games in a row. Yeah.
I think we're all expecting the Niners to be good because they have so much talent. And when they're healthy, they should be able to beat almost every team in the NFC.
Yes. And they play a very unique style of football that's hard for other teams to game plan against.
And the Chargers, I don't know what to think about the Chargers anymore because I was very high on them going into last season. I'm sick of them.
I know you're sick of them. I've been high on the Chargers for quite some time.
I have an unpopular take about them. I love their uniforms.
I do. I don't know if their uniforms are actually conducive to winning, though.
Candy-ass. They might be candy-ass.
They might be candy-ass. I love them.
I love the powder blues. They might be they might be candy i remember a study was done a long time ago that showed that teams that had like aggressive color schemes tend to win um on average more than teams that didn't yeah across the major sports and yeah in america i don't know i don't know if they're candy ass i think maybe it's time to delicately broach having the conversation yes yes i i.
I would agree. I'm ready for America to have that conversation.
Okay. Next up.
Lions 31, Bears 30. Congratulations.
I mean, Justin Fields, again, I'll start with the negative. That pick six was bad.
It was very bad. It was a throw he shouldn't have made.
He just kind of lofted it up in a spot in the field.

Like, you're on your own 20.

You throw it up.

It's like no one's really kind of there.

And that was actually the first pick six that the Lions had in 60 games.

Do you know how many games is 60 games?

It's a lot of games.

It's a ton, yeah.

How many games is 60 games?

That's how many years?

That's like four seasons.

Four and a half years that they have not had a pick six.

That's wild.

So, that was bad.

Thank you. How many games is 60 games? That's how many years? That's like four seasons.
Four and a half years that they have not had a pick six. That's wild.
So that was bad. The answer was great.
He had another insane run. He's the first quarterback in history to have two 60-plus-yard rushing TDs in one season.
I was just going to say. He did it in the last two weeks.
He's the first quarterback that I've seen that looks that cool when he runs with a ball.

It's crazy. He's crazy.

310 yards total, like rushing and passing.

Four touchdowns.

That pick that was catastrophic.

He also injured a Lions player by just running him over in the end zone.

He's big.

So, here's where I'm going to be honest, though.

I would have preferred the Bears to win that game.

Because that was a game that Justin Fields, with pick six and then also the end, you know, I wanted to see him drive. I wanted to see them drive down the field.
They didn't drive. I can be sold.
I think this is where I'm at, like, in terms of the tank and everything. I was happy with the losses for the last few weeks.
Justin Fields has been looking phenomenal. He looked phenomenal again today.
I can't wait until he has actual real crazy talent around him. If they ever find him a Justin Jefferson or Jamar Chase or Jalen Waddell or any of these guys.
But I do kind of want to win some football games. Every now and then.
Just sprinkling a win here or there for morale. And also so that we can be like, he can win.
He can close out a game. He can go on a big drive to end a game kind of thing.
You don't want him to get used to losing. Right.
You don't want him to expect to lose. So that's where I'm at mentally.
But again, it's so much fun watching him play. He is very fun to watch.
The spin zone on this would be he did bounce back after the pick six. He took them on a touchdown drive, and it was the kicker that fucked it up.
Yeah Santos missed the extra point he missed the extra point so the fact that it ended up the way it did yeah it's not great that he threw that pick six because those points did contribute to the loss but on the other hand he did come back and he wiped that from his memory and was able to come down and lead them to what could have been a win. I also have a report from someone at the game who was very close to the game, possibly even

sideline passes, possibly even field passes on the field.

I'm not going to say who.

I don't want to reveal my sources, but he said he's very, very, very fast.

Wow. How many varies? Three.
Very, very, very fast. Is that Tom Franelli? No, that was against him on the field.
On the field. Maybe shared the field.
But I'm not saying. I've said too much.
Oh, got it. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I know exactly what you're doing. Very, very, very fast.
I maybe asked him to reach out and tell me how fast. Tom Kennedy.
Yes, Tom. It was maybe someone who was on the show this week, and I said, please text me after telling me how fast he is.
And he did. This person, close friend of ours, stand-up guy, came through with my request and said he is very, very, very fast.
You know what's fun to do is to look at the last four weeks that Justin Fields has played football. It's crazy.
And then extrapolate that onto a season. And just imagine what it would be like.
Insane. Here's a fun game.
So in the last four weeks, he's had 467 rush yards, five rush touchdowns, and eight passing touchdowns. So you could multiply that.
Let's just say multiply it by four. He'd basically have almost a 2,000-yard rushing season as a quarterback.
He'd have 32 passing touchdowns, and then he would have 20 rushing touchdowns. It's crazy.
And that's on the low side if you were to take that and put it onto a full season. And his, you know, the progression that I see is that his confidence in the pocket is growing.
His elusiveness in the pocket is is growing where it felt like for last year in the first part of this year it's like they basically said just stay in the pocket all the time now he's able to like guys just can't get him down that touchdown that he ran where he ran over the lions defender he was basically down but he's his legs are so fucking strong that that they couldn't actually bring him to ground. He spun out of it.
So all these things are so much fun to watch. I'm just, I want to win one or two.
Just one or two. One or two.
That last play of the game where he got, he eventually got sacked after like the fourth guy got to him. That was even fun to watch.
Yeah. How he shrugged off the first three guys and then started walking with another guy that was actively tackling him.
Yeah. It was, it to watch that.
And shout out to Aiden Hutchinson who had an awesome pull. He was one of the best plays that I've seen from a defensive lineman in a long time where he just kind of did a LeVar leap type thing where he jumped over.
I think he jumped like over the quarterback, grabbed the shoulder pads from the running back that just got the handoff and just threw him down onto the ground. Yeah.
It was incredible. It's awesome watching him play.
It was. He was like his stats might not have been incredible today, but he was all over every play.
He was in every play. Jake, can you grab me a charger? My computer's about to die.
I'm a fucking idiot. Or if we have one right there.
So I think that's my fair assessment, not belabor the point but it's i'm very excited there's no again he's like he's now answered the bell whatever it is four weeks in a row where i got a fluke it's not a fluke it's becoming this is what he is uh i can't wait to see some more top end talent around him because he is kind of carrying everything right now like Like, he has to basically be the offense. And, yeah, I just would – every now and then, let's just win a game.
So, it's like, hey, we completed the task at hand of not just awesome plays. Like, we won the game.
And that's defense, too. That's special teams.
That's more like Matt – that's actually more about Matt Eberflus as a coach because they had a bunch of penalties today, missed extra points, sloppy football. Justin Fields can't do it all.
Maybe he can, though. I actually threw this out there while we were watching the game.
I wouldn't hate to see him return a punt. Yeah, or he could actually probably play wide receiver.
Yeah. I know that that's a very dangerous thing and stupid thing maybe just have a package in case we ever get in a spot where like a team has to punt to the bears with like 15 seconds left i wouldn't hate to see justin fields return you just want to see him with the ball every time i just want him always with when he has a ball then you're like something good might happen something cool is gonna happen yeah it's always gonna be a good thing he also has more rushing touchdowns by himself than the packers colts texans commanders bucks and broncos this season that's crazy yeah and he uh the bears are the this is the fifth straight game they've rushed for over 200 yards the last time that was done was the 1976 stealers that's pretty wild yeah so they're just – credit to the coaching staff to at least know what your strength is and just do it.
And it is funny because the offensive line is not a good pass-blocking offensive line, but they're very good at run block. Did you change your mind on whether or not he was the guy? Did you ever say – did you find yourself saying last year? You thought it, though.
Oh, last year? Yeah, yeah. Oh, no, last year he wasn't the guy.
Yeah, yeah, but you know what i'm saying like saying that somebody's the guy there's there's a lot of future hopes and dreams that go along with that were you like completely out on them last year because i don't know if you said out loud that you're out no no so it's just a nice reminder that every now and again you might want to give a kid like more than more chances yeah the steelers monday football game that i went to where he almost brought them back gave me basically the hope for the entire offseason and then the way this season started I started to have some doubts I'll be fully transparent I think I looked at some draft uh you know boards for next year that's hand up and then they started using him correctly and it's since that point there has been no waiver like the pick six was. Our good friend, Tom Fernelli actually texted me.
He said, sometimes you look like Justin Fields. Sometimes you look like Aaron Rodgers.
You look like Aaron Rodgers in that pick six. So that's just what it is.
Right. And then we should say for the lions first road win for Dan Campbell, a good win for them.
They, you know, they are in a spot where they're trying to get some wins together so that they can go in the right direction. And they've made less mistakes than the Bears.
I think this is a right direction move for the Lions. I think if Dan Campbell can get up to five or six wins, how many do they have now? Three.
They've got three. Both teams are three wins.
Yeah, so I think if the Lions can end their season with six wins, that's what you want. That's really all you like if you had told them two years ago that's what you would have, you'd be like, okay, yeah, I can work with that.
And then you just can't have a for both teams, both teams are in a similar spot where if you get to like six wins, you just can't have the backwards slide next year. Yeah.
You gotta keep moving forward. That's gonna be tough for Dan.
Right. Because Dan is really good good at squeezing every last bit of emotion out of guys that aren't very good.
When it comes with expectations, that's going to be a different conversation that he's going to be having. So, yeah, it was his first road win.
Oh, yeah, Justin Fields also promised that the pick six will never happen again for the rest of his career. I appreciate that.
He said that. So mark that one down.
I promise for the rest of my career, that will never happen again. I mean, what's better than a promise? You can't ask for anything besides that.
He's not going to do it. So we're good.
But whatA-B-R-A-B-R-A-B-R-A-B-R-A-B-R-A-B-R-A-B-R-A-B- On Sunday nights after we record the show, I just go and just read like Justin Fields' pornography and just go to bed with a smile on my face.

So I'll just read it out loud for right now for everyone.

Justin Fields has seven carries where he has reached over 20 miles per hour.

That is the most in the NFL.

It's like a car.

Yeah.

He goes as fast as a car.

It's effortless.

He was just effortlessly going faster than everyone.

Okay, next game. Because I know that people don't want to hear me gush oh i'll just say it right now because maybe there's some people listening that i don't know if they too i don't know where the sickos and perverts listen to this show but uh i have a fun announcement coming on tuesday at 9 a.m so you should listen for that that is an announcement coming 9 a.m tuesday something i've been working on for a very long time.
Fun announcement. 9 a.m.
Tuesday. Chiefs, been working on for a very long time.
Fun announcement.

9 a.m. Tuesday.

Chiefs-Jaguars.

Chiefs-Jaguars.

Chiefs-27.

Jaguars-17.

I don't really have much to say about this game

other than the Jaguars, if you look at the score

and you're like, oh, the Jaguars kind of kept in it.

They had three. They won the turnover battle 3-0.
They started the game with an onside kick that they recovered, and they still lost by 10, and there wasn't a single second where I thought the Chiefs were going to lose. Yeah, no, they were never in contingency.
It was a fierce battle between the Jaguars and the point spread, though. Yeah.
It looked like it was going to happen, and then they jagged it up, and they missed some kicks, and it was kicks. And the Jags had everything go their way.

Imagine going into Arrowhead and being like,

you recover an onside kick to start the game and you get three turnovers to zero.

You're going to be in this game.

No.

It would have been nice if the refs called at least one penalty

against the Chiefs.

Yeah.

The Chiefs didn't have zero penalties.

That's incredible.

That's a well-coached team.

Very rare that that happens.

Well-coached team.

Well, it's funny you say that because I did look up

what teams most recently had zero penalties. The last two before these Chiefs were the Green Bay Packers.
Another very well-coached team. Matt LaFleur's a good coach.
I've never said he isn't. Very good coach.
So, yeah, there was a moment in this game where I put a mental pen in it because I'm like, this is something that you can say to make yourself sound really smart when you're watching a football game if you're like amongst friends it's a rule that people forget frequently which is when you start if you're returning a punt and the other team touches it at all you can then pick that ball up and nothing bad can happen to you yeah it's a free play if you pick it up and you start running with it and you fumble doesn't matter you still get the ball back and so immediately when that happened it looked like the jaguars recovered it for a touchdown but then cooler heads in the room were like no no no don't worry no no this is a free play that's another another mark of a well-coached team picked out like belichick's players would always do that if somebody touched it pick it up and try to run it back nothing bad happens no no like having those little random rules to be the smartest guy in the room or the bar or your house there's no no better feeling in the world like that is a peak there's there's very little to look forward to as you get older in life but knowing the obscure sports rule that your your friends or people your co-workers whatever don't remember you're the king for that moment those those moments are are just like pure nirvana yes because you just tell people and they're like oh that's interesting i didn't even know that yeah it's like yeah jake had that jake what was the one you said to me on uh oh the the flop in college basketball yeah new rule if uh you're called for flopping it's automatic technical yeah in college yeah wow that's jake dropped that on me and technical. So I'll be taking that with me.
Yeah. Last year, it was a warning, and then second violation was a technical.
Now it's just automatic. Yeah.
I like that rule change. Yeah.
That's good. Brad Davidson graduated the perfect time.
Let's keep soccer and soccer. Yeah.
But, yeah, the Chiefs, this is one of those games where it's like we underappreciate Patrick Mahomes because I was thinking about it. There's been a lot of talk about MVP, Josh Allen, Jalen Hurts, Tua.
A lot of Tua talk. Tons of Tua talk.
Are you at all concerned with the fact that if Tua does end up having stats that would lend himself to being an MVP, that's probably because Tyreek Hill has like 2,000 yards receiving? We'll get to that later. We'll get to that later when we talk about their game game today but i just looked it up because i was like oh i wonder you know what they said oh yeah patrick holmes is leading the league in touchdowns and yards and uh is having another season where he's probably gonna i don't know what game the chiefs are on but he's probably gonna end up with like 45 touchdowns yeah he's great he's just incredible still just really really great at everything that he does and at some point we get bored with greatness and we look for something else to be the new greater thing so that's like more exciting coming up no he's he's really really great he he has made greatness like feel very average boring because he's so good all the time today he went for 331 and four touchdowns and i wouldn't have said oh yeah patrick mahomes lit it up it's just no that was regular patrick mahomes so much so um i i had uh evan one of our stats guys look it up one in every six games that patrick mahomes plays he has 300 pass yards and four touchdowns jesus christ so it is is almost like very routine.
Patrick Mahomes in regular season games throws for 300 yards 50% of the time. That's so awesome.
Just imagine having that as your quarterback. That's what's expected.
He's expected to throw 300 and like three touchdowns every time. It would just be so great to be a Chiefs fan,

knowing that for the next 10 years,

you can walk around with an earned sense of superiority to anybody else.

Yeah.

Just be like, fuck you.

I cheer for Patrick Mahomes.

Yeah.

I get to watch Patrick Mahomes every week.

He started 72 regular season games in 12 of them.

He's gone 304 touchdowns.

Like, it just happens, you know.

It's just every month he does this.

Yeah.

And it was just a totally was a totally average exceptional day yeah it was great he has made greatness boring which is it's tough i want to get bored by greatness i want to be so accustomed to greatness that i take it for granted that'd be awesome imagine if i picked like 75 in the nfl just not even i was like oh yeah here are of four are going to win. It'd be so sick.
Don't worry about it. To just like not even care about being great.
Yeah. Fun stat about the Jaguars.
This is their fifth game with a passer rating over 100 this season for Trevor Lawrence. Their all-time record is seven.
So Trevor Lawrence is way on pace to have the best season of all time by a Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback. And he wasn't bad today.
The Chiefs are better. Wasn't great.
He wasn't great. He wasn't going to win this game.
Yeah, right. It wasn't.
I just never thought. This game was never in doubt.
Kadarius Toney fits right into just being another fast dude that is going to burn people. I think he might be like 50% too weird.
I think he's the weirdest guy. He is weird.
He's like really weird. But he's very fast.
And you could already tell Andy Reid is just so happy to have a new toy because he was running the ball. The touchdown pass, Karius Toney, was the most open person I've ever seen in my life.
He was the most open player in the NFL for the last seven years, I think. They actually keep track of this shit.
You know when people post those dots to your timeline on Twitter and show where the players are except they're dots? Yeah. They did that, and they measure the distance between those dots.
He was open by like 21 yards. Mike Evans, when he dropped that ball.
Yeah, he was more open than that. Probably more open than Mike Evans at that point.
And you know that Andy Reid, you can tell when he really starts to love a guy because he'll start incorporating them into his shovel pass game. Like the interior passes.
That's coming next for Tony. Once he fits in to that certain degree, then you see Travis Kelsey and Tyreek Hill was getting all those different iterations of the inside shovel pass around the goal line,

that's going to be once you know.

That's when it's real between Andy and Tony.

Okay.

Chris Jones is a monster.

That was my last note.

The Chiefs have that.

If you have one guy who's just elite on your defense,

you can maybe sometimes get by with maybe not having the best defense overall

because he had, I think it was maybe a third down or a fourth down where he tripped up. Trevor Lawrence just blew up the whole play.
Recurring guest. Yeah, recurring guest.
He was actually a very funny guest. He was.
I would like to have him back on. We should have him back on.
Also, with the Jaguars, they have the most first downs in the NFL. Whoa.
They lead the league in first downs. Congrats to them.
Which is, I think that's a good stat, right? Moving the chance. You would like that? Hang the banner up? Hang it.
Yeah. Most first downs? Most first downs.
Hang it. But you could i think that's that's a good stat right like moving the chain you would like that hang the banner up yeah most first down most first downs hang it but you could say like you could make the argument like oh i'm a really great lover because i've got more first dates than everybody yeah which is like you're not really closing deals you're just slowly moving things down yeah no you're moving the chains yeah moving the chains counts getting first downs is important what you do after is also important but getting first downs is important first step the chiefs probably like are in the bottom tier of the nfl because they just get 30 yard plays right they don't use the entire field right uh okay let's do a couple ads and then we got four more uh early games and then we'll get to the afternoon slate there's making a sandwich and then there's crafting a sandwich and when i want something perfectly crafted i go straight to boar's head for over a century boar's head has been dedicated to crafting premium deli favorites every ingredient is carefully chosen every recipe made with a purpose their oven gold turkey smoke master ham and ever roast chicken are made from premium whole cuts hand trimmed and perfectly seasoned last, I made the ultimate sandwich oven, gold, Turkey, cheese, pickles, and mustard.

Okay. Let's get into the next games.
There's a couple that are not so great, but we'll hit them. Steelers 20, Saints 10.
Yep. I don't really know.
Great job, Mike Tomlin. Mike Tomlin has now beaten every team in the NFL besides the Steelers.
Yeah, so I saw that stat, and I would actually throw a flag on that because I feel like Mike Tomlin has beaten the Steelers every year when he would play zone defense against Tom Brady. Remember that? When he had that string where Tom Brady was like, it was like crazy how every year Tom Brady would play the Steelers, he'd throw for four touchdowns, they'd beat him.
And be like, will anyone tell Mike Tomlin to stop playing this exact defense that Tom Brady ruins every time? So I'm going to count Mike Tomlin as beating the Steelers. Alright, so he's done it all.
He's beaten every team. Congratulations, Mike.
The only note I had on this game was that the Steelers are 2-0 in games where the pigeons invade the field and just kind of hang out down there for a couple hours. It's like early season Wrigley when they're just birds sitting in the outfield.
Just completely oblivious to the fact that there's an NFL game going on around them. So yeah, they beat the Bucs during a Pigeon game.

Now this is the second Pigeon game of the year for them.

So that's my deep saber metrics.

It was a pretty boring game.

It was a boring game.

George Pickens is, I'm putting him in like, I don't, I'm not going to say Debo Samuel territory yet, but I am saying that he's the type of physical guy that I'm like a little

bit afraid of when I watch him run with the football.

I think there's going to be a prediction. I think maybe next year I'll call it the Steelers, maybe a Monday night football game, Sunday night football game.
You can pick Thursday. Even we're going to have a nice one-on-one with Heinz Warden and George Pickens being like, pass the torch of blocking wide receivers in Pittsburgh And just be like, this is what I do.

You play like me.

And it will be a Yinzer fest.

TJ Watt is incredible.

He's back.

The stats are also incredible.

Since 2020, in the regular season, the Steelers are 23-8-1 when he plays,

giving up 20 points a game.

And when he doesn't, they're 1-9, giving up 25 points a game. So he makes a big difference.
He didn't get a sack today, but every play he was double teamed and everyone else got to the quarterback. The Steelers had a nice running game for the first time in what feels like forever.
And then the only other point I had is Dennis Allen, you fucking dick. I'm so sick of watching Andy Dalton nice guy play quarterback you have a bad football team you are two and six there is nothing going on with this season why aren't you at least you have option one Taysom Hill fun maybe not the future but fun option two figure out if Jameis Winston could be the future let him play you know who's not the future very but fun.
Option two, figure out if Jameis Winston could be the future. Let him play.
You know who's not the future? Very nice guy, Andy Dalton. He probably can be in the league for another five years being a backup because he seems like the nicest guy in the world, and he can play competent football.
I just don't understand why you have Andy Dalton playing quarterback on a team that's going absolutely nowhere when you have a guy Jameis Winston who could have upside like we still don't really know the full Jameis thing like if he he's had flashes since leaving Tampa Bay where he's looked really good stop being a dickhead put in Jameis Winston or we'll settle for Taysom Hill we'll meet you halfway with Taysom Hill well Sean Pay, Sean Payton's got to be watching this team and being like, this sucks. Like, fuck you.
He assembled. He brought in fun players because Sean Payton is a fun coach.
I feel like Sean Payton had to have some say in who the next coach was going to be, right? He probably gave them some advice. Dennis Allen's a good defensive coach, but dude.
He's a good defensive coach, but it's objectively sad to watch Andy Dalton play football because, okay, best case scenario, he'll have a couple good games here and there. He'll sprinkle it in.
Cool. You'll win five games.
Yes, but there's no point in winning five games in the NFL if your quarterback is above the age of 30. Oh, wait.
But no, no, no. PFT, there is a point in winning five games because you get a better first-round draft pick.
Oh, wait. Oh, wait.
The Saints don't have a first-round draft pick. Like, what are you doing, Saints? What are you in the – unless you tell me Jameis Winston is still very injured, which, okay, that's fine, but why is he in full uniform then? Again, we want Jameis.
We'll meet you halfway with Taysom. Yeah, give me both.
Give me both at the same time on the field. Give me all three of them on the field at the same time.
Do the Saints play any more Monday night football games or Thursday night football games? If I have to watch Andy Dalton, nice guy. Very nice guy.
Somebody asked me about when. Week 13 at Tampa.
A what? Thursday or Monday? Monday night. If this, not Andy.
Not Monday night Andy. Remember, he's like, what is he, like 6-20? I got to keep my composure because, again, Andy Dalton's a very nice guy.
Andy, if you're listening, congrats on the Horned Frogs. Look like they might even win the Big 12.
You look great now. The glow up that you've had is fantastic.
Yeah, you're shocking everyone. You get a beautiful family.
You're a very nice guy. If I have to watch Andy Dalton in prime time, I'm going to jump in front of a bus.
I don't know if we can put that on YouTube. I will watch.
What? You getting run over by a bus? Yeah, yeah, for PMTB. That would do some views.
Subscribe to the YouTube. Watch on Thursday.
If I have to watch Monday Night Football with Andy Dalton, I'm going to jump in front of a bus. It's just I can't do it, and I love Monday Night Football.
It's my favorite night of the week. It's the one game we get to watch where we don't have to talk about right after.
I don't want to watch Andy Dalton. Nice guy.
Play football anymore. I don't.
I want to watch Andy Dalton play in a random Andy Dalton start because the starter gets hurt, and we get to watch for one week and it's like a nostalgia throwback and he's awesome.

And we're like, that was cool.

Remember when he was awesome for the Bengals?

I don't want to watch him week to week anymore.

Yeah.

I do think that sometimes we forget what Andy Dalton was able to do with the Bengals.

Yeah.

Him and Marvin.

What's his name?

Lewis.

Marvin Lewis.

Got you.

Him and Marvin Lewis did some crazy shit with the Bengals that we take for granted because, yeah, okay, the Bengals got to the Super Bowl last year. The Bengals were, like, dog shit for about 45 years.
Yeah. Really bad.
I think they made the playoffs. Well, they had Carson Palmer and Kimo Van O'Hoffen.
That one year, and then Carson got rolled up on. And they had Ocho Cinco and TJ Huzmajada.
Yeah. That was a great team, too.
Who's your mama? Who's your mama. And they've just been a bad team, mostly.
And then Marvin Lewis and Andy Dalton got them to the playoffs like over 50% of the time. They never won.
Incredible. A playoff game.
No, but they got there. But they got there.
You got an extra week of rooting for your Bengals fans. Yes.
Bengals fans. Yes.
So, yeah, it's a bummer watching Andy play. He just makes – he's one of those sad – he's like a sad, boring quarterback.
You're 2-6. You're going nowhere.
Stop. Yeah.
Stop. Just fucking stop, Dennis Allen.
You're torturing us. All right.
I think it's actually just he's such a nice guy, Andy Dalton, because this happened with the Bears too he when he signed with the bears and he was like he bought a house and he was like yeah i'm gonna be like i'm pretty sure ryan pace is like he went in being like andy dalton like we're gonna see how it goes and andy dalton was so nice he's like you know what you're the starter yeah and you're just gonna start and you're just gonna be the starter he he must be a real gym and actually he was another guy that was in the back of the van on the original van he would have yeah the first quarterback that we interviewed i think yeah current starting quarterback very nice guy um okay giants texans giants 24 texans 16 uh the giants are seven and two let's go it's crazy i looked at their schedule i think they're gonna win 10 games maybe even 11. Like, when you're 7-2, we're almost at Thanksgiving.
It would take a lot of fuck-ups to not make the playoffs at this point and finish with a pretty good record. No, they're going to win 10 games.
Yeah, if they split with the Commanders, they beat, like, the Lions and the Colts and the Eagles in Week 18 when the Eagles are playing for nothing. Undefigled.
Yeah. The Giants are going to win 10 or 11 games.
Be ready for that. It's crazy they're at 7-2.
This wasn't a very exciting game. Daniel Jones, another sign of just the passer rating makes no sense to me.
He had a 153.3 pass rating, which I think is like

.3 away from a...

Or it's 156. I can never keep

track of all that stuff. Why is it 100?

It's different in college, too.

So that's what ESPN did when they made their

QBR rating, where they just

invented stats that would come together

that would equal 100 if you

played really well. Right, so he was 100.
Which is smart.

That's where dumb people just give me round numbers to understand.

What is it?

158.3.

That's the dumbest thing ever.

So he had 153.3, and he was 13 for 17 for 197 yards and two touchdowns.

Yeah, almost perfect.

Makes no sense.

78 times.

78 times?

78 times.

So the stat is dumb.

That's a dumb stat.

Throw that stat out.

Done.

We need to create our own. And it should just be zero to one.
Yeah. No, maybe ball scale.
You get one. Five balls.
You get one. It's binary.
It's like, were you good? Yeah. Okay, you get a one.
Perfect rating. Yeah.
If you want, and just anybody. It's just, we're replacing wins and losses.
Yeah, you become a two if you win a Super Bowl. Yeah, there you go.
Yeah, there it is. So, huge news for the Giants.
Big come up for the Giants. Odell has narrowed down his list of teams that he wants to play for to the Chiefs, the Rams, the Cowboys, the Bills, and the Giants.
The Rams are out. The Rams are probably out.
Now, if you're the Giants, do you want Odell back? I feel like you don't want Odell back, right? So I've heard through the grapevine, and I have no real sources,

that he's going to sign with the Cowboys

and then in the offseason sign back with the Giants.

Well, I mean, that's pretty much what Michael Irvin alluded to.

Yeah.

Was that he would be on the Cowboys and then come back to the Giants.

I just don't.

Why would you want him if you're a Giants fan?

He would help the team.

You have no one.

That's true.

We sitting with Giants fans today, they were like, Darius Slayton is the worst fucking wide receiver ever and then he ripped off like a 70 yard uh touchdown they're like yes he's awesome but you know they're they're in that point of the season with their wide receiver you know what Odell does when he brings the table he he likes playing with great quarterbacks yeah Daniel Jones that's the Nice to say it again. 153.3 PFT.
Odell really loves playing with great quarterbacks. Yeah.
Daniel Jones. That's the nicest thing.
Do you need to say it again? 153.3 PFT.

Odell really loves playing with great quarterbacks.

153.3.

Yeah.

That was his QB rating today.

I just feel like he'd come in and just boat picture all over again.

Yeah.

Yeah, probably.

Saquon had a throwback game, ran the ball 35 times.

Good.

35 times for 152 yards. It just triggered memories just triggered memories in my head so went and looked it up the larry johnson 2006 year where he ran for 4 416 carries herm edwards basically abused larry johnson it was it was so crazy and then uh jamal anderson 1998 with 410 i just looked it up because I was curious.
The last six years combined,

the leading rusher in the NFL

has averaged 326 carries.

So Larry Johnson almost had 100 more

that one year in 2006.

It was an awesome year, though.

It was an awesome year.

It was very cool.

He was crazy.

But he had a game where he had 39 carries.

I just saw that Saquon had 35 carries. I was like, what the fuck? That doesn't happen anymore.
No. Shout out to Brian Dable.
His daughter wanted a win for her birthday. That's all she wanted.
Is it her birthday today? I think it was her birthday today. Kind of upstaging Frank? Yeah, a little bit.
So Brian got her a win and then just dedicated the game to his daughter. Nice.
I thought that was kind of cool. Drew Brees would never do his daughter never he'd be like my birth my son's birthday's in june yeah why are you so we'll just give this to him half birthday she probably wants like a like a new barbie i'll get her barbie there was she's not allowed to come to the game drew breeze was doing something on tv the other day oh he was a dude perfect i think and he had like three of his sons next to daughter was, like, off camera somewhere.
It's the funniest running bit. I don't know.
Like, you've got to include her at some point just because you know that I'm going to see it. Unless he's being a troll, and that would be funny.
That would be very funny. If he was just getting me to troll all of us.
Yep. Okay, let's keep it moving.
The first place, Miami Dolphins. The first place, Miami Dolphins.
They're first place in the AFC East. Dolphins 39, Browns 17.
An absolute whomping. It was just like Browns come out first drive touchdown.
You're like, ooh, Browns are live today. I think they went like punt, turnover on downs, fumble, punt.
And then they got the ball back in the second half and it was 24-7. And it was just like, yeah, this game is over.
It just happened. The Dolphins just happened very fast sometimes.
Yes. You, like, look away, and you look back, and Jalen Waddell has two touchdowns.
Yeah. They're such a fun offense.
Shout out Alec Ingold, recurring guest, low-man trophy winner, had a nice little 30-yard. It was like a 30-yard touchdown.

Yeah, he had 44 yards on four catches today.

Yeah, it was sick.

And there's a fun little stat here from Tim Reynolds.

He said the last time the Dolphins were 7-3 was 2001.

Okay.

That's 24 starting quarterbacks ago, eight head coaches,

seven stadium names ago.

Whoa.

The Heat had zero titles. LeBron was in high school.
The iPod just came out. The iPhone was still six years away.
Two was three. Mike McDaniel was a freshman and Tom Brady was in his first year in the NFL.
That's the last time that the dolphins were this good. That's crazy.
That's crazy. Tua was good today.
This show. Yeah.
I mean, they were chanting in the stadium listen it's starting it's starting

but uh this just proves the quarterback rating thing is so stupid he had a quarterback rating 135 so uh almost 20 points less than daniel jones he was 25 for 32 285 three touchdowns and zero interceptions it's pretty good that makes no sense he also i'm not listen if i had a vote i I would vote for Tua, but I don't have a vote.

But in place of a vote, I'll just say that he threw it to eight different guys today for all the Tyreek does it all guys. He threw it to eight different receivers, and the leading receiver only had 66 yards, Jalen Waddell.
Yeah, he spread around a little bit. He spread around to everyone.
He hit everyone. He looked great.

Tua MVP.

He had a couple nice throws.

Tuanan is growing stronger.

There was a guy in the stands with the full printed out list of people who have crossed Tua.

Expect us.

Tua MVP.

And I actually love him now.

I know that it started as a troll, but then I ended up betting on him to win MVP.

And I am in love with Tua. And I think he's very, very good.
He's very easy to root for. He's a very nice guy.
And he throws a very catchable ball. He does, and he's left-handed, which some would say makes you look like a witch.
But when you play it back to me and he's right-handed, then I think he's a great quarterback. That's how simple my brain is.
And Tua has played. Obviously, he missed, what, two games? No.
Yeah, pulled. Not pulled.
He missed the middle of the Bengals, and then he missed the Jets, and the – there was one more. Yeah, so he hasn't played a full season.
He's now 18 touchdowns, three interceptions, and he's on fire. Over 2,000 yards.
T a mvp tell everyone do you guys see uh the punter thomas more said he pretended to fall asleep on the sideline yeah because they didn't punt they didn't punt i think it was the first time they didn't punt since like 1988 was it no i have it right here no punts no sacks uh to december 28 2003 okay all right it wasn't that long ago i think there was a stat it was something about about, like, he's starting to put up, like, you know, Dan Marino is an all-time quarterback. He's starting to put up games where it's like, this hasn't happened since Dan Marino.
And they have two total punts in the last three games. The first time in team history, the Dolphins have punted two times in the last three games.
And that's why I'm rooting for Tua, more than anything, to win a Super Bowl, because it would really piss Dan Marino off. Yeah.
Oh, man. He would instantly become the best quarterback in the history of the Miami Dolphins.
Easily. Over Dan Marino.
He's a two. Dan Marino's a one.
Yeah, he's a one. He's just a one guy.
Not our system. Yeah, we have a system now.
Not to toot our own horn, sometimes we get something right. A lot of times we get things wrong.
But I do feel very strong about our nice little zag take on the trade deadline when they added Bradley Chubb, who's a phenomenal pass rusher,

and we were like, Jeff Wilson's actually the big coup grab

because Jeff Wilson just knows how to run in Kyle Shanahan's offense.

He had 119 yards today, and he knows how to do it. And it's like that was such a genius pickup by the Dolphins and Chris Greer to be like, hey, this guy can completely change our running game because he knows exactly how to do it.
And he was great today. And the Browns suck.
And the Browns stink. There's one.
The kicking issues for the Dolphins, they haven't really mattered that much to them.

Could.

But they could.

This could be like Dakota Parkey.

This is the moment where you should think about what happened today and maybe think

about getting somebody else involved in your kicking game, Jake.

I don't want to see you hurt.

Well, Jake can't get hurt.

He's on flat.

I was just thinking of it.

This is their blinking light that we're not making a big deal about right now. It's like a master caution light is going off in the corner.
It's going to create problems for you down the road when you're playing in serious games that matter because that guy stinks. He stinks.
I was just thinking of a world where a double doink happened in a playoff game and obviously Frank is a big Dolphin fan. He would die.
He would have a heart attack. He would be glad They wanted his birthday.
But if that happened to the Dolphins, it would be so bad. That would be unfortunate.
It would be so bad. And I'd have no choice but to make a lot of jokes about it because I think he's written a whole album of songs about the double doink.
Yeah. I think Frank would probably just hold his breath until he died if that happened.
Yeah. Let's knock on wood that that doesn't happen.
I sure hope not. The Browns stink, though.
The Browns stink. Yeah, they stink.
Kevin Stefanski is getting into coach speak after game, so he's done the, like, it's on me thing before. He's done the I got to take a long look in the mirror thing.
Today he said it's on all of us. Oh.
Everybody needs to do a better job. But he's including himself in the all of us.
That's nice. But it's just's just another way of coach fans being like, I have no idea what the fuck is going on.
And, and let me just, you know, there's a meatball take. I'm just going to say it.
He was wearing just a t-shirt today. Put a collar on.
Yeah. Just do something.
Maybe, maybe that's a hoodie or just, you know, zip up something. Just you, you haven't earned just a t-shirt.
They need to play the Bengals every week. Yeah, that's what they need to do.
Yeah, the vibes were high going into the bye week for the Browns and then they just stink again. And Deshaun Watson's coming back.
He's allowed to practice with the team this week. So you just kind of if you're a Browns fan, you just hope that you win all your games in December with Deshaun Watson and then all offseason.
You can think about that. Yeah, yeah, yeah be nice uh okay next up titans broncos this was the game we decided uh with seven games on six tvs we didn't have this one on on tv so apologies if any of our takes are wrong but the fact that the game started with nine straight punts kind of solidified we made the right choice uh ryan tannahill's back and that was it the titans are are six to know when derrick henry catches a pass and they're oh and three when he doesn't have a single reception first first play of the game first play of the game rabes just fucking throw it to derrick henry done you ensure yourself of an automatic win i love that when whenever uh i do think running the football is important, but when people are like, yeah, when they rush for this, it's like, well, if they have the lead, they're probably rushing.
So, yeah. No, I don't like to go that deep into statistics.
Yeah. Just tell me what to do to win, and I'll do it.
Randy Bullock wasn't healthy. I guess he injured himself in warm-ups.
Randy, come on, man. We tried to be nice to you.
Yeah you yeah and we just halfway dude we've laid off most of the fat randy stuff you can't get hurt in warm-ups no that's just come what were you doing probably eating yeah or not warming up yeah probably yeah you weren't warm uh just like yeah watch me kick this and so they asked they asked variable was that a concern and he goes how much of a concern when you don't have your kicker 10 minutes before a game yeah shit ton so uh but vrabes fucking hates kickers anyway yeah he would prefer to not have a kicker on his team yeah i think they just give him bad vibes like nerd vibes so he doesn't like having him around um but yeah so vrabel obviously in a matchup between vrabel who's a person who can he he bended time around bill belichick's brain at one point if you're him going up against hackett i feel like that's a pretty one-sided affair yeah yeah and and it's just we watched the end of the game russell wilson just looks sad he the the stat that i love because I do love the Seahawks success

versus Russell Wilson this year,

Russ has been sacked three-plus times in seven straight games.

That never happened in Seattle.

For all the talk about how bad his offensive line was,

that never happened in Seattle.

Just an all-time grass is always greener move by Russ.

He's got to regret.

Well, no, he doesn't.

I don't think he regrets it.

I think he was.

He's a robot.

Yeah, Sierra was just like, we need to leave this town.

And he was like, yes, dear.

Yeah.

Broncos country, let's ride.

It still shocks me that the Denver Broncos didn't draft Josh Allen.

If you think about everything that was going on at the time.

Yeah.

John Elway.

Who was their quarterback, though?

Was it Brock?

It might have been Brock Osweiler.

They might have said, like, Mom, we've got Josh Allen at home.

Josh Allen at home is Brock Osweiler.

Josh Allen, he ticked every single box that John Elway has

in his binder that he carries around.

And he's from around.

Wyoming is basically Denver.

Yes, just tall, white, rocket arm, looks good in shorts, big hands. That's John Elway's.
You can play in the weather. That's his MO.
And John Elway, like, the one time that we needed you and to have your very simple brain make this decision, it was MIA because, yeah, you were probably in love with Prokoswa. I'm looking it up right now.
So who did they take in that draft? Wait, was it 2018 draft? Yeah, 2018 draft. Yeah, you're absolutely right.
It was Baker and Denver. Where did they pick? This is bad radio.
Chubb. Chubb.
All right, so that was a good pick. I guess.
But not Josh Allen. Yes, they took Bradley Chubb two picks before Josh Allen.
That's tough. Yeah.
They also got Cortland Sutton in the second round. Still hanging around.
He's great at drawing pass interference. Yeah.
Royce Freeman. I don't know if he's still.
Should have been nice for Josh Allen. Josh Allen, yeah.
To have Josh Allen on. They might have also had Joe Flacco at that time.
No, they had Case Keenum. Case Keenum was their starter that entire year.
That was Case Keen case keenum's year wow yeah in retrospect if we're redrafting it i would have taken josh allen there yep but that's i'm just built different yeah we're just uh two great front office minds um okay next game uh let's do a couple ads and then we'll finish off with the last three games all protein bars generally taste the same but not one bars one made protein bars are actually delicious with Reese's and Hershey's.

The late slate. The Colts 25, the Raiders 20.
Jeff Saturday. We told you.
Shows up. We did.
We told you. We did.
Listen, everybody out there that was hating on Jeff Saturday just because he was extremely unqualified for the job, sometimes you can take a job that you're not qualified for, and the guy that you're going up against is even less qualified than you are. Yes.
I saw someone tweet out, which would be a fascinating idea, is every week whoever's playing the Raiders just hire someone random and see if they can beat Josh McDaniels. That would be fun because Jeff Saturday has set the bar.
It turns out he's a prophet because we talked about it last week, but on October 30th, from his couch, he said Raiders look horrible on Twitter. They do look horrible.
And Jeff Saturday, credit to him, one, he started Matt Ryan instead of Sam Ellinger which he knew was like hey Matt Ryan's a way better quarterback than Sam Ellinger let's start him because he gives us a chance to actually win a game uh and and it was that that deserves credit because Sam Ellinger was the Frank Reich like last uh gut uh but I almost said last gun in the bullet, old school barstool, last bullet in the gun move to try to keep his job. And he's like, no, wait, Matt Ryan's actually pretty good.
Let's just game plan for him. He put a guy named Parks Frazier as the offensive coordinator who never called a play in college or NFL, and they won the game.
And they won the game. And Matt Ryan also scrambled for 39 yards.
That was such a fun run that he went on. That was an insane run, and I have a sad stat for a lot of other teams in the NFL, including yours, Max.
Matt Ryan's run will be the longest run for all of these teams this year. Packers, Eagles, Commanders, Bengals, Dolphins, Rams, Broncos, Steelers, Bucs.
All those teams, Matt Ryan had the longest run. In terms of seconds? No.
Or in terms of yards? Maybe both. Yards, yeah.
The Buccaneers are the low man on the totem pole. Their longest run of the year is 17 yards.
Matt Ryan doubled it. So, yeah, shout out Jeff Saturday.
This was awesome because he basically coached the game on vibes the entire time. Total vibes.
He was like, Matt Ryan's going to be good vibes. I want to impart my vibes to the team.
His vibes were such a part of the DNA of the Colts today that Quentin Nelson probably had the play of the game when he took what he thought was a lateral that got dropped in the end zone

or a fumble that got dropped in the end zone, and he picked it up.

And he probably ran like seven, eight yards with it, covered the ball up with both hands,

was just like bucking people over.

He was just fighting people in the end zone.

He was just fighting people to get out of the end zone.

And that's a guy that likes Jeff Saturday right there.

He's like, Jeff Saturday used to play offensive line.

He's my bro.

Yeah.

They're bros. I'm going to do this for him.
and also just because i think quentin nelson just likes fighting people yeah but it is vibes because jeff saturday we've had the discussion about like which coaches win a fight i still think mike vrabel is is the top of the nfl but jeff saturday's top five yeah winning a fight guy like he that that has to count when you're when you're in the locker room with the bros yeah saying man a lot i mean the raiders got a taste of it last year to have that kind of guy with yeah yeah i i'm a believer in jeff saturday just because it makes absolutely no sense no and you can get mad at jim ursay or whatever but jim ursay is a fucking he's a weird guy that's why i love him um he's yes oh are you shocked that jim ursay made an unusual hiring decision? Like, of course he made an unusual hiring decision. He's fucking Jim Irsay.
So the people that are, like, impugning the way that the Colts are doing business or whatever, just have fun. Yeah, just let it roll.
Just have fun watching this. He worked for Jim Irsay for, what, like 15 years? They know each other.
Sometimes you just hire your friends to do stuff. And the Colts look competent.
Jeff Saturday got the Colts looking competent, which they had not looked that way in a few weeks. Do you think about Jim Marce? What were you going to say? I have a crazy hypothetical to your point earlier about hiring random people to coach against the Raiders.
Yeah. Next week, they have the Broncos.
Can you imagine if they're running Peyton Manning against Jeff Saturday? That would be fun. Stop calling the freaking plays, Jeff.
Storylines galore. You know who I would maybe game of the year for? Jake Plummer coaching the Broncos.
Talk about vibes. Jake Plummer in that locker room.
You get out vibe of vibe guy. He'd just be like, let's just go out there and sling the rock.
Have some fun. Just make a play.
Yeah, hey, Russ, stop thinking. Oh, I'm thinking Raiders-Broncos.
Yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, Jake Plummer. Jake Plummer gets the entire team on mushrooms before.
Russ just freaks out. Overloaded with perspective.
That actually might be the way to do it. Ego death.
Russ would definitely be the dude who's like, I'm dying, I'm dying, I've got to call the cops. And then you can just start whoever his backup is.
I actually think that Russell Wilson would be the worst quarterback in the NFL to take drugs with. Oh, my God.
Any drug. Doesn't matter.
Can you imagine Russell Wilson on cocaine? How fucking annoying he would be? Russell Wilson eating mushrooms, he would two seconds in be like, do you guys feel it? Yeah. Do you feel it? You feel it yet? I think I feel it.
Shut the fuck up, dude. He'd be smoking weed with Russell Wilson.
He'd put on Ciara's music. What are we doing? Either that or he'd think that you're supposed to put on Cheech and Chong Whenever you smoke weed He definitely calls it doobies No, he's a grass guy You guys want to smoke some grass? You want to listen to Pink Floyd and watch Wizard of Oz? Yeah, Russell Wilson would basically be smoking with your 17 year old self He would be like We all did that Pretending to hallucinate It would be just a bad, bad time It would suck so bad I was going gonna say jim ursa do you think i know i think he has kids he won a super bowl he's got a pretty sweet life i think this might be top five days of his life because he hired his friend everyone made fun of him and then his friend went out and beat the guy that he tried to hire a few years ago and basically like had cold feet signed the paperwork everything was ready to go greeted deals and then was like nah i'm gonna stay and be the offensive coordinator like the most slap in your face move ever to be like i don't want to be your head coach i'd rather just be bill belichick's like assistant there's definitely tears being shed yeah in that meeting like or say probably went into the locker room after the game and just everybody started to cry and they probably hugged for a long time like an awkwardly long hug where saturday at some point was like okay i'm done you can let me go yeah let me go sir but like yes it's got to be a great feeling for him because mcdaniels did fuck him over he fucked him over and then he just and everyone laughed about this hire including myself um although it did take the it did take the Colts.
And maybe it's not actually a top five day of Jim Irsay's life, but Jim Irsay also strikes me as a guy who, like, 200 times a year says this is a top five day of my life. Well, yeah.
Yeah, he'd just be like, this is one of the best days of my life. He's experiencing everything in the moment.
On a random Tuesday. So it's all great.
Sometimes the universe just lines up and hits you correct if you're jim or say yeah if you just play a nice guitar yeah he'll be like this top five moments top five day of my life that was a great c chord we um we need to talk about josh mcdaniels yes why why why is josh why why is this why was he hired why is he still hired yeah why is he not fired yet yeah and how quickly can he get fired he um josh rick daniels this is gonna this is gonna sound crazy so everyone listening right now uh maybe pull over josh rick daniels started as a head coach six and oh yeah with the denver broncos since that moment he is 7-24 as a head coach. Was that T-Bo? Yeah.
No. No.
It was before. It was Kyle Orton.
It was before. He traded away Cutler to the Bears and then Kyle Orton.
He went 6-0 and they were cheating. They were videotaping opponents' practices.
Yeah. A little bit of a New England thing that he carried with him.
Remember, and they beat the Patriots, I think, in like, it was either like maybe the fourth or fifth win, and everyone's like, holy shit. Yeah.
This is a big moment. Josh McDaniel's next up.
Yeah, he was cheating. And he just sucked ever since.
So he was cheating, and they got caught. They had to stop cheating.
And then he's just been objectively, by the numbers. Terrible.
7 coach in the nfl so very bad coach mcdaniel's bad coach i have a theory i think that mark davis is trying to drive down the value of the raiders so that when he does inherit it from his mom oh it's he has less taxes that he has to pay like and maybe he'll be able to come up with the i don't know like 400 million instead of the 1.2 billion. I like that.
That he's going to have to pay.

This is smart. Yeah, so it's very smart by Mark Davis.
He's probably highly leveraging crypto. Yeah.
Oh, extremely. Yeah.
He's probably reading the news today and just being like, uh-oh. He had a rough weekend.
He was definitely like, he probably had like two months where he took meetings every single day about someone that wanted to make their own coin in his likeness, like a Mark Davis coin. I just imagine Mark Davis looking like he's at lunch at P.F.
Chang's. He's in the bathroom, and it's like that scene from Succession when the rocket blows up, and Kieran McCulkin just looks at it, and he's like, okay, and just puts his phone away.

That's what he did when he saw like FTX has defrauded everyone.

He just like, okay, back to my beef and broccoli.

Yeah.

I can't think about this right now. Mark Davis is going to be in some tough financial positions

when that team does become his property.

But this would be a good way to get around it a little bit. Like Make everybody hate your team.
Hire the worst people to coach it. Yeah.
I mean, Rich Passaccia, he's definitely won this breakup too. Oh, yeah.
Big time. He's very much missed.
And it is the craziest situation where Josh McDaniels, if he got fired tomorrow, he'd have a job on Tuesday with the Patriots and the Patriots would be significantly better off for it. Yes, it would actually be great for all parties involved.
Maybe this is like a five dimensional chess move that Mark Davis is playing, keeping the Patriots weaker by keeping Josh McDaniels on his. Yes.
Even though it's the worst thing for his team in the short term. Yeah.
Belichick needs to pull like one of his text message tricks and get Josh McDaniels fired. Yeah.
That's that would be the smart move. But yeah, the Raiders are very, very bad, very, very bad vibes.
And shout out to Jeff Saturday. And Derek Carr after the game gave one of these speeches where he was just crying because he hates losing so much.
Yeah. I'm reading in between the lines.
He was wearing Fresno State gear, not Raiders gear at the podium. That's like his equivalent of deleting something from his Instagram followers.
It's like, okay, I'm going to show up wearing my college gear, and then I'm going to proceed to cry and just say I'm sick of all this stuff. I've reached the point where I honestly do feel bad for Derek Carr.
I was going to say, I wouldn't hate seeing Derek Carr in a year or two getting one of those like Matthew Stafford. He's going to be on the Colts.
Put on a team. Yeah, I know.
He's going to be on the Colts. But get a team.
It's going to be Andy Dalton and then Derek Carr on the Colts. Yeah, but it would be nice to see him somewhere, anywhere.
Yeah, somewhere except for there. Just get him out.
He seems like a genuine guy. People like him.
Yep. He's a little weird.
Probably, I'd say he's in the bottom quartile of quarterbacks to drugs with in the NFL. Yeah.
No, I think he's a big God guy, which is fine. Probably not the best hang, but it's, you know, he does seem like a good teammate that everyone rallies around, but man, that's a bad situation.
He actually does look, like, if I looked at Derek Carr, I'd be like, that dude's got some pretty good math. Yeah.
He gives off big speed vibes. Yeah.
And then you'd ask him and he'd call the cops. Yeah.
Okay. Cardinals 21, Rams 17.
We're wrapping up. I loved this game.
John Wolford versus Colt McCoy with a special guest appearance from Trace McSorley. This was essentially getting to see a week 18 game week 10 because this this was like both teams eliminated from it actually was to a t because it was both teams eliminated from any real meaningful football one coach most likely about to get fired in cliff kingsbury and we got to see the backups duel it out and colt mccoy is uh definitely in the top level of backups in the nfl so the cardinals won and And I bet you Cliff Kingsbury was like, that was kind of cool because Colt McCoy did the things I wanted him to do.
Yeah. Yeah.
I did a bad job preparing people for this game because I knew that we might get a John Walford game. I did not know that this was going to be the Colt McCoy game.
Yeah. That snuck up on me.
And that's I'd like to apologize because we've said many times on this show, Colt McCoy is the best quarterback to have come in a game in the middle of November and do a surprise start and win you a game out of nowhere. Yeah.
That's his job as a backup, and he does it well every single year. Every single year.
He will win you one game, and he'll be like, thank you, Colt. Thank you for doing that.
We appreciate it. That's why we're paying you like $2 million a year, whatever it is.
I didn't know this was coming up, and if I did, I would have absolutely bet the farm on the Cardinals. And you're right.
I feel like Cliff is getting a taste of what coaching could be like. Yeah.
Where he's like, okay, we've got a functional offense that runs right now, and my quarterback's not screaming at me. And you're throwing it to people other than DeAndre Hopkins.
Like, Rondell Moore is now looking like the guy that we all expected coming out of Purdue. Say something nice about Purdue.
And, yeah, the Cardinals looked competent. Yep.
And the Rams are cooked. Cooper Cup got hurt at the end of the game.
Sean McVay afterwards said it didn't look good. It didn't sound good.
That sounds bad. Yeah, if you can hear an injury my diagnosis is bad so i was trying to figure out what happened and people were guessing that maybe a fractured fibula which sounds really bad uh it's not it's not a bone tibia there's a tibia there's a fibula tibia tibia that's a bad maybe it's both you don't want to break that one fibula no fibula the fibula that you just invented a new bone yeah yeah no and he broke it it's bad that's how bad that he invented a new bone that a new injury that no one's ever had before um cooper cup tweeted out just a couple days ago i believe that we and all teams should be playing on grass this is an age-old issue and i believe the time to address the problem is now let's have the conversation for safer fields I'm going to have that conversation and then that happened right afterwards yeah I like grass grass is more fun grass is more fun as long as you take care of it yeah you got to take that's the part that he's missing a lot of teams don't take care of it yeah certain teams yeah Bears field is looking bad Steelers field is looking real bad uh-huh Raul John I'm sure is looking.
No one's had an ACL injury in the last three weeks. Yeah.
We're on a hot streak right now. Yeah, so just, you know, maybe, literally the grass might not be greener.
It's not. It's never.
It's actually if you look at the middle of Soldier Field right now, it's never greener. Sean McVay might just retire in the middle of the season.
The Rams are officially cooked. I'm calling them cooked.
They're done. We haven't done done chain in a while, but they are done.
Yeah, I'm confident in putting the done chain on them. I mean, the done chain just got converted to the Vikings chain.
Yeah. Yeah, pretty much.
That's it. Okay, last game.
Last game. Oh, the Cardinals are 11-3 on the road since 2020, which is a nice way of saying they're so bad at home.
That's pretty good, and probably most of those, all three of those losses probably were against the Rams. Yeah.
Who they, all they need to do is John Wolford versus Colt McCoy. Yeah.
Okay. Last game.
Hey, it's Rhea from Chicks in the Office. It's officially mini skort season and Abercrombie has the ones to go out in.
Their Scarlet mini is a classic. It's one of those skirts that fits the outfit vibe for any plans.
And I'm excited to style their new Sienna Skort. It's a little more flirty and it's perfect for a date night.
Make plans to go out in Abercrombie, shop their newest arrivals in-store and online. The Roback game is Packers 31, Cowboys 28.
I saw this coming from a mile away. I knew the Packers like this just felt like the Packers finally getting right.
And the prediction I had in September that Aaron Andrews will do a sit-down interview with Aaron Rodgers before a nationally televised game talking about how he's gelled with his receivers. This felt like the first day going towards that with Christian Watson three touchdowns and the packers are now officially off the mat yeah we we told you that aaron rogers 28 18 against the spread as an underdog we told you aaron rogers four and one against spread as a home underdog and we told you that aaron rogers is 11 and three against or matt lafleur is 11 and three against spread after a loss.
Cockroaches. We were ready to roll on this game.
These are cockroaches here. And it was Mike McCarthy in the Gallagher tribute game.
Yep. But we knew that Mike would get a little too inside his own head.
He did. And get into the weird stuff.
And he did. And he went full Mike McCarthy.
And he, I'm confident in saying that Mike McCarthy lost the Cowboys this game. Yeah.
So, this is a crazy stat. Entering today, the Dallas Cowboys were 180-0 all time when leading by 14 points through three quarters.
If you include playoffs, there were 195-0. That's kind of crazy.
195-0. Now, obviously, 14-point lead is a pretty big lead going into the fourth quarter, but still, that's crazy.
14 points is crazy. Falcons have blown like seven of those in the last two years.
No, in this season. Yeah.
And then they blew this. Mike McCarthy.
I don't really know. I was trying to figure out how I felt about the decision to go for it on fourth and four in overtime on the 35 yard line I looked it up Brett Maher not great like long distance he's like about 50 percent so you probably say hey our offense is better than 50 percent in a fourth and four situation but yeah Mike McCarthy the headset, trying so hard to beat Aaron Rogers,

Aaron Rogers as low as he possibly can be.

And then he just does this.

And Christian Watson,

like he's going to fucking be a stud.

I'm sure he's going to probably be a hall of famer.

They are off.

Like when I say they're off the mat,

I'm fully expecting the Packers to go on a run now.

And all my nightmares.

No,

I don't think so.

I think that there's, I'm sure they will. They'll win Thursday.
They're still a very flawed team. They'll win Thursday.
And as much as, as much as everything else can go well for the, for the Packers compared to what's happened in the past, the fact that they're still trotting Amari Rogers out there to return punts is just insane. He's, I think he's got five fumbles on the year as a punt returner.
Why are you still trying to make that work? It's very clear that he doesn't work in this offense. Maybe they were trying to trade him.
I don't know. But he's got the most non-quarterback fumbles of any player in the NFL this year.
That's crazy. Don't have him return kicks anymore.
You're asking for bad things to happen. And those tend to happen to the Green Bay Packers in the playoffs yeah like special teams miscues things like that um i'm nervous though christian watson is actually very good yeah there's not it's not a fluke he's a very good player and i'm i'm nervous because the packers have finally done what they should have been doing all year they just fed aaron jones 24 carries for 138 yards he did the hold my dick when he jumped into the end zone.
What took you so long? They had 39 rushes today. Like, that's what this team should do, especially with the wide receiving cord they have.
And now I'm very nervous that they're off the mat, going to turn a corner, all that shit. And if you're the Cowboys, like, all that talk about the Cowboys being the second best team in the NFC feels a little different now when you go into Green Bay against a team that is on its last dying breath and can't beat them.
14 going into the fourth quarter. The Cowboys, to me, feel like a team that is on autopilot, and every time Mike McCarthy hits the autopilot disengage button and tries to steer it, things just go completely haywire and off the map.

It's a team that can probably run itself for the most part with minimal Mike McCarthy and head coach interference.

Yes.

That's the strategy.

That's how you win if you're the Dallas Cowboys.

The less that he actually does, the better for your team overall.

Yeah.

He looked good, though.

Mike McCarthy looked good before the game.

He was wearing the suede trench coat walking around Lambeau. Yeah.
Old school. Yeah, it was nice.
He gave Aaron Rodgers a nice little hug. They looked genuinely happy to see each other.
They're cockroaches. I also just, I don't know if this game wasn't on Dak.
I just don't. I don't have a ton of faith in Dak as a big.
Do you have a ton of faith in Dak as a big-time quarterback? Win-a-big-game guy? I do not have a ton of faith in Dak. I just don't.
I don't know why. Again, I don't think this game...
He did have two interceptions. I just don't.
A lot of people were saying that they should be playing Cooper Rush instead. It might have just been me, but I'm sure that there was more than one person saying.
No, he's better than

he's a very good quarterback.

If you're like, big game,

I need to win a game.

I just am not feeling like Dak is going to win me

a game. They need to run the Cooper Rush

offense with Dak Prescott

as the quarterback. And then I think things

simplify themselves at that point.

Just give the butt a Pollard. Let Pollard

just go fucking ham on everybody. He's a good running back.
You got to be pretty pumped, Max, watching that. Yeah, I love seeing the Cowboys lose, always.
Are you okay? Did you get sick? No, I'm good. You got sick in the middle of the show? You just turned into like Bane for a second.
Yeah. It was a little thing I'm working on.
It's fine. Okay.
Wait, did you just do that on purpose?

No.

You can just slide into that?

I just hadn't spoken in a while.

Yeah.

Oh, it's coming back.

It's coming back.

Oh, damn. It's always a good day when the Cowboys lose.

Yeah.

I want to see them die.

Okay.

Bro, man, bro. Yep.
And then number four, we didn't talk about this game because we recorded early, but Baker Mayfield on Thursday Night Football, he was headbutting his teammates with that helmet. Yeah.
I just gave him a just chill out, man, for that. Yeah.

Max did not let checko pass him today he was very upset afterwards i was trying to follow along with that like would it just it would have been the nice thing to do to have it's like the teammate thing max has already wrapped up all the awards he's the best driver in f1 all he had to do is throw his guy a bone but it also was like that's who Max Verstappen is he's not gonna

he's a dick

in like a very competitive this is like a jordan thing like jordan kobe like tiger woods yeah those guys are dicks but that's why they win so i you kind of take i don't know i felt bad for checko me too felt really bad for him so what? Second, I assume. F1's going on too long.
I will be excited to watch this and try to survive. I'm actually really pumped.
I'm getting pre-excited about the F1 in Las Vegas. Yeah.
Because they're going to race it through the strip. Yeah.
Like downtown Las Vegas. That's going to be a fucking crazy weekend.
Yeah. Who's back is Coach Duggs.
Yeah. Getting the key to the city of toledo this week i am very funny uh you know call back to covid coach dougs a video game character big cat uh his coaching career won a national championship for toledo yep they promised him a key to the city and that's actually going to happen in real life uh on tuesday yeah it's not like there's a lot going on in toledo yeah.
We're doing the Maction tour for the college football show. So 5.30 p.m.
on Tuesday, 5.30 p.m. on Wednesday.
It might be 4.30 on Wednesday because it would be NIU. So Toledo come out and then NIU on Wednesday.
I actually like I was thinking about it. I would love for there to be a big crowd at Toledo.

I also wouldn't hate it if it was eight people.

That would be kind of funny.

If you guys went to Youngstown that one time?

Yeah, right.

It'd be like eight people and maybe an old lady walking up and peering and hearing Big Ev swear.

And she'd be like, ooh, not for me.

You had the basketball team there.

Yeah, the basketball team who was in our Barcelona Invitational.

They played great.

But yeah, I'm going to be getting the key to the city. I've never had a key to the city.
I assume that means I just own Toledo now. Yeah.
You can change the law. I can do anything.
I just pulled up your roster from that Toledo team. Give it to me.
Quarterbacks, Cade Shipley and Blake Bortles, who was a transfer. Okay.
Fullback, Brock Hemi. Brock Hemi.
Good name. Running backs, Bam Bam Calloway and Bo Hammer.
Bam Bam Calloway was a great name. Receivers Prince Fontana, Cisco Bay, and Ken Moore.
Okay. I remember my defensive end was the reason why I won the national title.
Robert Roberto. I think it might have been Robert Roberto.
He's your defensive end. Yeah.
He was a stud. Receivers Prince Fontana, Cisco Bay, Ken Moore, tight end Bubba Butt.
Bubba Butt. Linebacker, Dilbert Duggerton.
Okay, that was my son. That was my son, yeah.
Yeah, because I went home to Toledo. Yeah.
That's where I started the whole thing. Yeah, kicker, PFT, commenter.
Yes, yes. That was good.
Also a transfer. And then punter, Norm Wood.
Norm Wood, okay, yeah. That was, yeah, COVID times.
No sports, but yeah, key to the city. two years in the making feels good very funny and then lastly just shout out awls there's a lot of a lot of awls came out on friday to the barcelain invitational it was great great seeing everyone lots of merch repping uh lots of merch on the jumbotron it was awesome yeah it was great everyone thanks everyone for coming out jake absolutely crushed it crushed take cat crushed it too obviously no but jake crushed it jake crushed it jake like you guys crushed no jake Yeah.
No was great. Thanks everyone for coming out.
Jake, absolutely crushed it. Crashed it.
Big Cat crushed it too, obviously. No, but Jake crushed it.
Jake crushed it. Jake, like.
You guys crushed it. No, Jake.
Yeah. You crushed it, bro.
Thank you. Me too.
Don't get too ahead of yourself though. Young whippersnapper.
No, no, no. You did crush it.
You were basically Dave Pasch dealing with Bill Walton on steroids. With me and Dave just rambling about gambling lines.
It was really fun. Yeah, it was.
You did a great job. I'm very proud of you.
I texted you after. You did.
I said I'm very proud of you. Yeah, thank you.
Also, PFT, I pulled off to get gas in Philly, and I stumbled across a bar called Bonks. Oh, nice.
Yeah, I took a picture. I might stop by.
Yeah. All right, PFT.
My Who's Back of the Week is Casey Anthony. is casey anthony oh oh yeah the bonks speak it what wait why are you bonking me for that that's not on me i am attracted to her but that's not why i chose her yeah uh no casey anthony's back she's doing a netflix thing where she or maybe it's on peacock i don't know i'll probably screw that up and whatever streaming services on is very upset at me for doing that.
But she's doing a documentary about her life and about the case where she allegedly killed her daughter. Yeah.
So her daughter. So I'm fascinated with Casey Anthony because she is maybe the biggest liar in the history of the world.
Everything that she says is a lie. But I'm fascinated by her brain.
And it's, I don it's i know it's like a weird it's a weird thing that i have where like i have to i've watched all of her police interrogations that she's done i've seen like every interview that she's ever given because every word that comes out of her mouth is a lie and i love her for it yeah um i mean she's obviously a terrible human being um who should probably be in jail for the rest of her life but she's not and, and she's doing this new series, so I cannot wait. I think the first episode, they're going to tease it next week, and then I'll have to watch the entire series after that.
I'll do a review with you. Yeah, Casey Anthony, shout out.
We'll do a review on the podcast. But I banned her from the pod from part of my take.
Okay, alright. But we'll do a review.
If she wants to come on the podcast, then I'll reconsider, but right now, she is banned from part of my take. Only in-person interview.
Only in-person interview. Yep, absolutely.
That's not a bonk, Hank. It's better.
It would be better. It would be very good face-to-face.
Right. Agreed.
I mean, Hank, you're all about the numbers. Fact or fiction? Fact.
Fact. Casey Anthony interview.
Fact or fact. Would do, I think it would do bigger numbers than Aaron Rodgers.
Fiction. No.
I think that might be fiction. I think because you draw in a whole new, who do you think has killed more people? Aaron Rodgers or Casey Anthony? I mean, I think the listeners of the show, I think, love sports.
There's probably a good percentage of people that don't even know Casey Anthony. I i think that there you are you're forgetting our guys are horny too yep our awls there's there's strong group of horny sports guys and and you're forgetting and women that there's an entire audience for like true crime shit and they listen to podcasts like that's all they if you're a true crime fan all you do is listen to podcasts we We are.
The only thing that, like, beats us routinely is true crime. So we're going to get up there.
And Joe Rogan. Who? Oh, that would be my who's back.
My who's back is UFC. I was able to go to UFC 281.
We had John Anik in studio on Friday. It was awesome.
Saw Joe Rogan. Joe Rogan and Dave had a talk.
It was basically, like, the peak of masculinity in America. Did each other's presence? Yeah, no, they were catching up.
But it was crazy. Dana put us because Meatball Molly was fighting.
Unfortunately, she lost. Tried really hard.
Actually, in a weird way, and this will sound like loser talk, it was probably the most impressive loss I've ever seen because she could have tapped out like 100 times and she didn't until she was basically out of breath and all of her limbs were broken. But it was crazy.
I got to sit next to Halle Berry, who I would say we're close personal friends now. Although.
Who was she with? I don't know. It was some guy.
But who cares? I was actually like, is he bothering you? She's like, no, that's my brother. And she posted a picture of her from the event being like, caption this.
And you could see me a little bit in it. And then she deleted the picture.
Because I think everyone replied tagging me. So I don't think there's a future for us.
She's probably upset about that. Jealous.
Yeah, jealous. Probably for the best.
Probably for the best. Halle Berry is...
Well, whoever her man's with was probably upset. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And then the best moment, though... Well, the fights were incredible.
Pereira is just probably the most intimidating guy ever. And then the Poirier-Chand was like an all time fight where it was around a boxing around a grappling and then a mix in the third round.
But the best moment was I got to shake hands with Stephen A. Smith and he has his phone on his belt.
So he has the case and he whips it out like a fucking gun. Like he shook our hands and then he got a call and he's like and just fucking took it a couple yeah yeah okay sounds good walked off he's still wearing the big pants he's wearing the big pants guys wearing pants like top top 10 pants guy yeah kobe letterman jacket that said like legends never die um just by far the most like i was sitting next to halle berry and Stephen A.
Smith, and I was like, holy shit. There's Stephen A.
Smith whipping out his phone. I bet Stephen A.
Smith has, like, Madison Square Garden outfits, like, already set aside. He's like, these are worthy to wear to a sporting event at the Mecca.
Yeah, but it was crazy. The UFC, I mean, it's an all-time top live event to be able to go to.

So thank you to Dana.

And Patty the Batty is fighting in a month.

So hopefully he wins.

And Meatball Molly is going to be back.

She was fighting a girl that everyone said was going to be a champion.

And here's the coolest part about the whole night.

Meatball Molly from Liverpool, friend of ours, on the show.

She was fighting a girl from Jersey. Madison Square Garden went nuts for Meatball Molly.
That's great of ours, on the show. She was fighting a girl from Jersey.

Madison Square Garden went nuts for Meatball Molly.

That's great.

Booed the girl from Jersey.

So nice little thing for us.

Okay, Jake.

Oh, and fun announcement.

9 a.m. Tuesday.

Fun announcement.

My who's back is basketball on a ship.

Yeah.

This happened during our broadcast, so I wasn't able to watch.

We caught the highlights. Michigan State-Gonzaga, great game for Veterans Day, and it was cool.
Yeah, Michigan State won, right? Wasn't winning. No.
Oh, shit. I didn't know.
Gonzaga won? Yeah. Fuck.
Michigan State missed the buzzer beater. Fuck.
Yeah, this is my favorite college basketball game of the year is when they go on the aircraft carrier. Yeah.
And I always think, don't the waves make it tough to, to dribble and jump and all that stuff. Yeah.
It's crazy. Yeah.
Uniforms. Can you veterans day? Could you play a baseball game on like, if you, if you docked a bunch of aircraft carriers like together? Yeah.
Yeah. Or like a football game.
Dude, they should play a football game on an aircraft carrier. That would be fun.
That would be crazy. But like one that's actually moving around at sea.
That would be great. Wow.
I'd watch that. In the canal.
Yeah. Yeah, get it stuck.
Yeah. That's the next up.
We've conquered every... Tom Brady's going to have to stay playing football until he can win on an aircraft carrier.
Yeah. What if you built a golf course on boats?

So, like, you had a bunch of aircraft carriers, and then you grew the greens out.

You hit from one to the other.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

These are all great ideas.

Yeah.

So, that was a cool event.

Yeah.

That was.

Okay.

Good show, everyone.

Number 69.

Hank, have you ever gotten this? Have you? No. Why are you so angry? Wait, Hank, remember.
The last four shows, we've had two numbers. What were they? 44, 44, 12, 12.
But that means we're going to get a new number now, and then it's going to double up. You would think.
listening unless someone takes it before me I'm taking 17 every time 18 I have no

choice 20 because you have 69 I got 69 I will take 30 Hank you've never gotten

this I have not Dan said that like it was a slur. Yeah, very upset.
Daniel.

45.

Almost 44 again.
