Enough said.

Speaker 2 Sad. Said.

Speaker 1 Maybe a quick touch on some college football because it was a crazy weekend. And who's back at the weekend? Football guy of the week.

Speaker 7 When cool, creamy ranch meets tangy, bold buffalo, the hole is greater than the sum of its sauce. Say howdy, partner, to new Buffalo Ranch sauce, only at McDonald's for a limited time.

Speaker 6 At participating, McDonald's.

Speaker 1 Okay, let's go.

Speaker 1 Now in the street, there is violence,

Speaker 1 and I not

Speaker 1 work to be done.

Speaker 1 No place behind a lot of washing,

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

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

Speaker 1 and then we'll take it higher.

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

Speaker 1 Today is

Speaker 1 Monday, November 7th,

Speaker 1 week

Speaker 1 9.

Speaker 1 Alright, so we start. We've heard your complaints.
We've heard the fans asking for this. So we start with Mr.

Speaker 1 INT, Aaron Rodgers, who threw three on Sunday while yelling at his teammates for running out of ayahuasca.

Speaker 1 Lions fans, if your boner lasts for over two hours after taking Zilstra, please consult your physician as the tight end was elevated from the practice squad and made an immediate impact.

Speaker 1 In a touching tribute to everyone's favorite spherical video game creature, Kirby Joseph swallowed two Rodgers passes and spit out an L at the reeling Packers. R-E-L-A-X, relax, Packers fans.

Speaker 1 Your team can't blow a playoff game without even making the dance. The Lions, 15.
The Packers, 9. Huh? Lions?

Speaker 1 The Lions. The Lions are hot.
Down to Georgia, where Atlanta was feeding umbilical Corderelle Patterson, giving life to the Falcons' playoff chances.

Speaker 1 Khalil Matris Max said, fuck you, to London, ripping the ball away and keeping the Falcons to 17 and under, just the way Drake likes it.

Speaker 1 The game took a crazy turn as part of my Taewon Graham recovered a fumble, but in a touching tribute to my dear friend Henry Lockwood, he lost the ball. Game by fumbling it back.

Speaker 1 Has Hank ever won the lottery ball machine boom? He hasn't, Teach. Joshua Jeffrey Palmer told all the fans at home, I'm going to let you leave, but first watch Cameron Dicker win this game.

Speaker 1 Chargers, 20. Falcons, 17.
Up to Chicago, where Tyreek Hill Withers was singing just

Speaker 1 the two of us with his quarterback as he put up another monster day.

Speaker 1 Bears fans were confused watching a waddle run slants at Soldier Field on Sunday, only to realize Tom was probably asleep on his couch in the suburbs as his son Jalen lit up the secondary.

Speaker 1 Let me take you down, cause I'm going to Justin Strawberry Fields. This quarterback is real and there's nothing to get stressed about Justin Strawberry Fields forever.

Speaker 1 As a quarterback ran for a regular season record 178 yards, the Dolphins win a shootout as Mike McDaniel Day-Lewis is a method acting as a really good football coach. Dolphins 38, Bears 35.

Speaker 1 Over to Ral John, Maryland, where the battle between two gritty, scrappy,

Speaker 1 deceptively fast receivers took place. As Dax don't care about your Thielens after Milne scored what felt like the winning touchdown for the Commanders.

Speaker 1 Viking fans looked like they had the Washington Monument in their pants as Justin Jefferson Memorial scored early.

Speaker 1 William Henry Harrison Smith caught an interception like it was a nasty case of pneumonia as Zachary Taylor Heineke had a forgettable performance in Washington Sunday. Vikings 20, the Commanders 17.

Speaker 1 In Cincinnati where Joe Mixon Water scored a touchdown to start the scoring.

Speaker 1 Then, Joe Richard Millhouse Mixon scored a touchdown as he said, I am not a crook.

Speaker 1 After that, the Bengals running back crossed the Joe Mason-Mixon line for a score. And then Joe Mixon in Match switched things up with a receiving touchdown.

Speaker 1 Finally, Dasher, Dancer, Prancer, Vixen, Comet Cupid, and Joe Mixon finish it off with another score. Wait, Joe Mixon scored five touchdowns?

Speaker 1 Some spread. Bengals 42, Panthers 21.

Speaker 1 Down to Duval, where Josh McDaniel Day-Lewis is character acting as a really shitty head coach. Because, stop me if you've heard this before, but the Raiders blew a 17-point lead.

Speaker 1 Derek Cardi B went up against WHAP!

Speaker 1 Winning ass Peterson. Josh, very cool Jacobs, stepped over a few defenders, but it was Travis Matthew HEN who looked more comfortable in the backfield, scoring twice.
The Jaguars scratch out the

Speaker 1 Raiders on way to a victory. Jack 27, Las Vegas 20.
You okay, Boom?

Speaker 1 I'm not DJ. I'm not D's.
I'm coughing. Are you okay? I'm coughing the ball up like Taquan.

Speaker 1 Taekwondo part of my Taewon.

Speaker 1 We head to Tompa Bay, where Bucks fans are forced to watch in agony as two girls won cup played out in front of their eyes yet again when Matthew and Cooper linked up for a first half score.

Speaker 1 Speaking of poop, it looked like Todd Toilet Bulls' team was circling the drain all the way up until Scotty doesn't know how to catch the football, seemingly ended the game.

Speaker 1 But as the old saying goes, never count out touchdown, Tom, as the ageless wonder led his team down the field in the final seconds. Cade, oughtn't you be going to bed, Tom? It's past your bedtime.

Speaker 1 Help seal the victory and send the Bucs back into the win column. And people are starting to ask if Sean Gary McVanderchuck is actually kind of full of shit.
Bucks 16. Rams 13.

Speaker 1 And we finished in Glendale, Arizona, where fans were putting Fs in the chat for Kyler Murray, who looked like he had an extra hour of mourning.

Speaker 1 Speaking of Call of Duty, Ypre Metcalf loved hanging out in the end zone and didn't need a Putmobile to take him away this time.

Speaker 1 Cliff Energy Bar Kingsbury doesn't look like he's celebrating No Nut November as it looks like they're coming for his job.

Speaker 1 Kenneth Paltrow Walker continues to make some cold plays and the Seattle Seahawks are a name that no one expected to see at the top of the rankings. Seahawks 31! Cardinals 21!

Speaker 1 And that is week 9.

Speaker 6 Hey, it's PFT here, reminding you that Boarshead makes game day entertaining elevated and effortless.

Speaker 6 Whether you order catering platters ahead from your local Boarshead retailer, or you create your own spread at home with Boarshead premium deli meats and cheeses, you are sure to impress your guests.

Speaker 6 My favorites like oven gold turkey or blazing buffalo style chicken, paired with their classic Vermont cheddar or creamy monster cheese, are sure to score big and help me elevate my entertainment every time, whether it's for a tailgate or a home gating celebration.

Speaker 6 Seriously, guys, it's a game-changing flavor for every gathering. Boarshead, committed to craft since 1905.

Speaker 1 Week nine in the books. Well, sort of.
We still got a half of football to play. We're watching the second half of Titans Chiefs.
Titans,

Speaker 1 we'll recap the game once it goes final, but they just play play angry. And I don't.

Speaker 6 It's crazy. It's Tractor Cito season.

Speaker 1 And Mike Vrabel just

Speaker 6 has.

Speaker 1 They might not win this game, but it's just like every time you think that you could count out the Titans, Mike Vrabel gets him up for a big game.

Speaker 6 Also, Chris Collinsworth made a very funny statement at the start of this game because Kadarius Toney got into the game for a little bit.

Speaker 8 First play, first catch, yeah.

Speaker 6 And he said, I think that Kadarius Toney would go 1-1 overall if I were drafting players to be on a team of tag in the NFL.

Speaker 1 I think that's got to be Tyreek.

Speaker 1 Or Kyler.

Speaker 6 Kyler, but Tyreek. Tyreek is pretty good.

Speaker 1 Dude, Tyreek is such a fucking Alvin Kamara because he'd probably punch you in the face if you touched him. And then you're it permanently because you're knocked out on the ground.

Speaker 6 Yep.

Speaker 6 Deshaun Watson, he'd probably come on you.

Speaker 1 Yep. Okay.

Speaker 1 What else you got?

Speaker 6 That's the next one that I thought of. Yeah.

Speaker 6 That's probably it.

Speaker 1 Yeah. I mean,

Speaker 1 it's a funny statement for Colin North to just like throw that out there.

Speaker 1 Tag is an all-time game. It is.
Yeah. All right, so week nine in the books.
We will recap that game when it finishes. It was a fun week nine.
Had some

Speaker 1 crazy ends to games.

Speaker 1 And I guess we've got to start with the craziest game. Jets 20, Bills 17.

Speaker 1 The Jets get their statement win.

Speaker 1 We talked about it going into this stretch they had, that if they can win one or even two of these three games against the Patriots, Bills, Patriots, they would have to be considered very much for real.

Speaker 1 I'm ready to consider them very much for real. Their defense is really, really fucking good.

Speaker 1 And they made, as Josh Allen said, which is accountability, he said after the game, it's tough to win when your quarterback plays like shit. Just as blunt as it could be.

Speaker 6 It's a fact. And he did play like shit.

Speaker 1 He played like shit.

Speaker 9 Josh Allen played really, really bad today.

Speaker 1 Well, that's other Jets defense.

Speaker 6 I've heard a few people say, well, yes, the Jets' defense did play well. They only blitzed twice, which I think Billy talked about on Thursday.

Speaker 1 Remember when Billy brought up that great point? Yeah, he brought up my.

Speaker 6 So they only blitzed twice, and they got pressure on Josh. But Josh Allen also made a couple really bad throws on his own without the defense getting in his face about it.
He played badly.

Speaker 6 Other podcasts will talk about maybe the fact that Josh Allen might be injured, and that's why he played poorly.

Speaker 6 We're not going to do it. No, Josh Allen.
I should have heard a lot of people say that.

Speaker 1 Josh Allen has a couple stinkers every year, and I don't even know if this was a stinker Josh Allen sucked. It was more the Jets' defense is really fucking good on all three levels.

Speaker 1 Sauce Gardner is just an absolute monster. And yeah, like the Jets, that wasn't a fluke win.
The Jets just were better than the Bills. They were.

Speaker 1 And I know people will also say, like, oh, yeah, the Bills had a bunch of guys out on secondary. They did miss Matt Milano, but everyone has injuries, including the Jets.
So

Speaker 1 I don't take anything away from the Jets. That was just just a good win, a win that a lot of people didn't see coming.

Speaker 1 And now the Jets are, I don't really know what to, like, you kind of have to take them seriously.

Speaker 6 I'm taking them very seriously. It was also a scoreboard revenge game because remember when the Bills released their design of what their next stadium is going to look like? Yeah.

Speaker 6 And they had the giant buffalo in front of them?

Speaker 1 Yep.

Speaker 6 The scoreboard said 24-3 Bills over Jets. Oh, shit.
On that. So they gave them bulletin board material.

Speaker 1 Yeah, by accident.

Speaker 6 And then the Jets account.

Speaker 1 Some nerd architect. Yeah.
Yeah.

Speaker 6 It was probably like somebody in the Bills front office saw the initial design and was like, hey, can we just like have it and make the Jets look really bad? Yeah.

Speaker 6 Which actually is like, that's kind of a bitch-ass move by the Bills because they could have gone after any one of their other rivals or opponents.

Speaker 6 They very clearly went after the one that they thought at the time wouldn't be that good.

Speaker 1 Well, I think maybe

Speaker 1 they're now starting to feel threatened where it's like we have to... Like we have to just show who's boss.
The Jets are next up. Are the Jets next up?

Speaker 6 Yeah, maybe they put that on there because it was actually showing respect to the Jets, is what you're saying.

Speaker 1 The Jets are next up.

Speaker 6 So the Jets then tweeted out an image of a scoreboard after the game, like going back at you with your own design, rubbing that, which is a fair game. That is absolutely fair.

Speaker 6 So, Billy, I would love to give you credit for this win. Unfortunately, you disavowed your quarterback.

Speaker 1 You did pick Sam Ellen over Zach Hooligan.

Speaker 6 We'll get to you for the Colts recap. Yeah, it'll be an idea.

Speaker 1 You didn't say that.

Speaker 4 If you go play the tape back, I said, I just want a quarterback who doesn't throw interceptions. And guess what? We got one today.

Speaker 1 Do you pick Sam Ellen over Zach Wilson?

Speaker 1 We gave you the opportunity. We will play the tape.
Okay, somebody will actually send us.

Speaker 6 Actually, you know,

Speaker 1 we can look at the tape ourselves. Because we gave you a

Speaker 1 quarterback.

Speaker 4 I said, all I want, you can play the tape. I said, all I want is a quarterback that doesn't throw interceptions.
And Zach Wilson didn't throw interceptions.

Speaker 4 And he ran forward, went scrambling, which was amazing to see.

Speaker 1 That was big. Zach Wilson played well.

Speaker 1 He wasn't like electric, but he made some big plays on third down.

Speaker 1 The pass to Denzel Mims was like, that was the game pretty much. A big, big time spot, big time throw.

Speaker 1 And yeah,

Speaker 1 he didn't kill them, which is what he needs to do because that defense is that good.

Speaker 6 He needs to be a game manager.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 6 As a 23-year-old in the workforce, I think that Zach Wilson, I think he needs to manage the game more, Big Cat. He doesn't have to play it all on his own.

Speaker 1 I agree. I'd agree.
He did play pretty well together. Yeah, no, he did.

Speaker 6 And Billy's right. When he scrambled, he went forward at least twice.
I saw him running in a forward direction. That was nice to see.

Speaker 6 I don't know if the Bills' defense is really, they're built to be able to get after the quarterback because they're built assuming that they're going to get into shootouts with the teams.

Speaker 6 And so then, if they have to try to stop the run, I don't know if that's what they're going to be able to do. Like, the Jets, they had a great game plan for him.

Speaker 1 No, they missed Matt Milano, but yeah, like Zach Wilson played a good game, and the Jets as a team played a great game. That would be my summation of the game.
I think that's a pretty fair take.

Speaker 1 Like, you still want more out of Zach Wilson, but in terms of not killing you, you and also making those big plays where it's like, hey, we need you to get the first down here and we need you to make a big-time throw.

Speaker 1 He answered the call and that was like a very big step in the right direction for Zach Wilson and him, as Den Rolovsky said, growing the fudge up.

Speaker 1 So Billy, what would you like to talk about in this game?

Speaker 4 Zach Wilson's maturity. We touched upon it a lot before, but he didn't force it.
He didn't try to make plays where they didn't need to be done.

Speaker 4 He let the punter punt the ball and let his defense get on the field.

Speaker 4 It was a grimy day in East Rutherford, a little bit of drizzle, like overcast, and he showed he can grind out games in those types of conditions.

Speaker 4 You know, he didn't throw for over 200 yards, but he didn't need to, and he won the game. That's all you need to ask from your rookie quarterback.

Speaker 1 Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 6 And that opening kickoff was very funny.

Speaker 1 Oh my god, that was so funny. That slipping funny.
The Jets fans responding to it, being like, How did it end up?

Speaker 1 It's like, well, I didn't know how it was going to end up, but if you can't laugh at the kicker slipping on the opening kickoff and just

Speaker 1 nailing

Speaker 6 seven yards.

Speaker 1 That's fucking funny. What do you mean? That's funny, Billy.

Speaker 1 I mean, he is second year. Second year.

Speaker 6 It is second year.

Speaker 1 Young quarterback.

Speaker 6 No, but with COVID amnesty.

Speaker 4 Yeah, COVID amnesty.

Speaker 1 We're getting your basketball year.

Speaker 4 But it was a drizzly day in New Jersey, and you could tell from the second they kicked the ball that it was going to be one of those weird games.

Speaker 4 And I think that's where Josh Allen struggled was that he couldn't get a grip on the ball, and he just got lost in the sauce.

Speaker 1 Lost in the sauce.

Speaker 6 That's good. Sauce Gardner rookie of the year?

Speaker 1 I hope. Defensive rookie of the year.
Year. Yeah, because they do offensive rookie rookie of the year.
There's going to be Kenneth Walker.

Speaker 6 I was thinking because the Seahawks have a defensive back that's pretty good, too. Yes.

Speaker 6 They could actually split offense and defense rookie of the year. Also, Damian Pierce is a monster.

Speaker 1 It's actually pretty much:

Speaker 1 if you want to decide who's going to win offensive and defensive rookie of the year, just see which team has a primetime game latest in the season. Because that, you know what I mean?

Speaker 1 Yeah,

Speaker 1 if Sauce Gardner has a game late in the season, primetime, gets a pick, boom, stamp it. If Kenneth Walker has a game late in the season, gets like two touchdowns, boom, stamp it.

Speaker 1 That's how easy it is to decide these things.

Speaker 6 One thing, as Americans, we need to be prepared for is as flex scheduling rears its ugly head, there's a high likelihood we're going to see the New York Jets playing in some football games at some times that we usually don't see the New York Jets playing in football games at.

Speaker 1 Listen, their defense is very fun to watch.

Speaker 6 Those colors in primetime are going to be really strange for people, but they're good.

Speaker 6 And their defense is fun.

Speaker 1 12, November, December 11th,

Speaker 1 they play at Buffalo. That could definitely be

Speaker 1 Sunday night game. Wow.

Speaker 1 That would be something.

Speaker 4 I think if we continue to see what we're seeing, we're going to see one coach from New York winning coach of the year.

Speaker 1 Oh, you think Robert Salah?

Speaker 4 Or

Speaker 6 Sean McDermott?

Speaker 1 No, downstate.

Speaker 4 More in New Jersey.

Speaker 6 So that's, yeah, it's a different state. You're saying New Jersey.

Speaker 1 We're going to get our first New Jersey.

Speaker 4 Our first New Jersey coach of the year.

Speaker 6 So,

Speaker 4 who knows? Giants or Jets. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Yeah, I mean, that's.

Speaker 6 If they go undefended, though, it'd be hard not to give it to Nick Suriana.

Speaker 1 And we're going to get to it later, but I think Pete Carroll should definitely be in the conversation.

Speaker 6 Okay, yeah, we might split our vote, though.

Speaker 1 Yeah, we might have to. We've already split it in half.
Yeah. It's like a fucking.

Speaker 1 Is it nuclear? We're doing nuclear physics now?

Speaker 6 Yeah, on the atoms. We just keep splitting them.

Speaker 1 We're just splitting the atom. Yeah, we're just going to give everyone a vote of the year except for Josh McDaniels and Cliff Kingsbury.
I think that's fair. That's totally fair.

Speaker 1 Every other coach is deserving in some way.

Speaker 1 Okay, any last thoughts? Oh, the

Speaker 1 one thing that

Speaker 1 Zach Wilson bill you like this, coachable.

Speaker 1 Afterwards, the game,

Speaker 1 he said that they stressed in practice getting the ball out of his hands faster. He was last in the NFL the last two years in 3.07 seconds.
And today he got the ball out of his hands in 2.31 seconds.

Speaker 1 Coachable.

Speaker 4 He cut the scramble in looking downfield.

Speaker 4 That whole thing from the Patriots game, that whole sort of of going towards backwards towards the sideline and trying to make a play, he just totally took that out of his play cult.

Speaker 1 It looked a lot better.

Speaker 4 He looked amazing.

Speaker 4 He took the five-yard first-down scramble when he needed to, and he basically did everything that I wanted him to do, and I'm very happy.

Speaker 6 Yeah, give me a grade.

Speaker 4 I give him a A-.

Speaker 1 Okay, that's okay. A minus.

Speaker 6 You weighed it heavily on if they win.

Speaker 4 No.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 Yes.

Speaker 1 Yes. That's fine.

Speaker 4 But I gave him an A minus because, you know, not every play was great. Like that drive where he coughed it up.
Von Miller took him down.

Speaker 4 Couldn't have, you know, maybe be a little smarter in that situation and tuck up when you like, you know, but, you know, it was, he won.

Speaker 1 I think you just won. You got a great pass.

Speaker 1 He wins. He's passed fail.

Speaker 6 He's passed.

Speaker 1 This week he passed. And I would love to say Billy's enough.

Speaker 1 I would love to say Billy was right, but we're going to have to get to your quarterback, Sam Elliot, to decide whether you were right or wrong.

Speaker 4 By the way, we can't judge first quarterback.

Speaker 1 We'll see what we get. Okay, all right.
But

Speaker 1 you did pick him over Zach Wilson and have a tape. I never

Speaker 1 examined the tape. I never played the tape.
It's very clear. I said that.
It was last Monday's show.

Speaker 4 I said I wanted a quarterback that.

Speaker 1 Can you text memes to get it just so that we can get it live on air and we can just listen to that all together?

Speaker 6 We should have it at the end of the show. At the end of the show, we will do a live fact check.

Speaker 1 Yeah, yeah. Just listen to it.

Speaker 4 I don't think I ever specifically said that.

Speaker 1 Okay. Right.
So we'll listen to it. If we were wrong, we'll say we're wrong.

Speaker 1 Okay, next up, Vikings, good win for the Jets. Jets are for real.
They are

Speaker 1 right now, I think, in second place in the, or is it tied for second place? No, because they beat the Dolphins. They're in second place in the AFC East.
Wow.

Speaker 3 Bills 0-2 in the division, too.

Speaker 1 Bills 0-2 in the Division of the Division.

Speaker 3 That's going to come into play.

Speaker 1 That is going to come into play.

Speaker 1 And it's now like the Jets, there's a lot of football left to be played, and there's a very muddy middle class of the AFC. Although...

Speaker 1 With the way the Chiefs are playing right now and the fact the Bills lost, maybe the entire AFC is just a bunch of pretty good teams, no great teams. Is it mid? I don't know.

Speaker 1 Maybe the whole league is.

Speaker 6 I think football might be mid right now.

Speaker 1 It's kind of crazy.

Speaker 6 Scoring's way down. I actually, I looked this up earlier.
If you were to guess, off the top of your head, how many touchdowns do you think are scored in an NFL game?

Speaker 1 What do you think? What's the five? I would say five.

Speaker 10 4.5.

Speaker 1 Yeah. Somewhere between 4 and 5.

Speaker 3 I was going to say 5, too. 5.5.
I'll say 5.5.

Speaker 1 What? 2.31. That's this year? Yeah.
Oh, man. The Chiefs just turned it over.
The Titans are going to win this game.

Speaker 6 Wait, that might be per team.

Speaker 1 Yeah, I don't. That would be crazy because that would mean every game was like.

Speaker 10 2.31 per team sounds about right.

Speaker 1 Yeah, so it would be like five. Yeah.

Speaker 6 Yeah. It might be per team.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 That was a step back for us.

Speaker 1 It happens, it happens to all of us.

Speaker 6 Well, the way that it's written did not say per team. Yeah, yeah.
But then I said it out loud. And you were like, and I was like, that's way too low to be per team.

Speaker 6 But anyways, it's scoring is very down. But it's way, way down.
It's down.

Speaker 6 It was like over 2.5, I think, last year.

Speaker 1 Yeah, no, the unders have been hitting at a record pace. Wondering why I don't win anything.
But yeah,

Speaker 1 it hasn't been fun. Travis Kelsey just threw his helmet.
He's very upset because he just gave the ball away. All right, next up, Vikings 20, Commanders 17.

Speaker 1 All right, so let's start with this. We decided over the weekend.

Speaker 1 We have talked a lot of shit about the Vikings. They're 7-1 front.
We refuse to admit that they're Super Bowl contenders.

Speaker 6 I think they might be the worst 7-1 team of all time.

Speaker 1 They are a good team.

Speaker 1 I'm not going to pretend they're not a good team,

Speaker 1 but we were like, hey, we got to do something because the Minnesota listeners of this podcast, they need some type of satisfaction where if we end up being deadass wrong about this Vikings team, there has to be a punishment.

Speaker 1 And you threw out PFT that if the Vikings win the Super Bowl,

Speaker 1 at least me and you, I don't know who else is in.

Speaker 1 We're all going to get Kirk Cousins' tattoos.

Speaker 6 So his face. I'm going to get Kirk Cousins' face tattooed on my ass.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 6 If they win the Super Bowl.

Speaker 1 I will do that as well.

Speaker 6 And I think most Vikings fans understand how we feel about Kirk Cousins.

Speaker 6 We know that the Vikings are a good team. We know they're fine.
But Kirk Cousins, it's going to be very difficult for us to ever fully buy in on Kirk. And he's been playing pretty well.

Speaker 6 And then he taunts you by saying you like that right in your face. He's got the fucking face.
Which is such a soft insult.

Speaker 6 It's like, I can't, and I can't, I feel bad fighting back against Kirk Cousins. Like, if it's Dr.
Seuss getting into a battle rap with you, you can't come over the top with profanity.

Speaker 6 You have to figure out a way to just, like, I don't know, improve. He's a nice guy.
He's so nice. And he's infuriatingly nice.
And then they dress him up with the chains on the plane.

Speaker 6 Here's my only question, PFT.

Speaker 1 Do we need to have a punishment if they get to the Super Bowl?

Speaker 6 If they get to the Super Bowl,

Speaker 6 that they don't win. I would say that that probably, that means that Kirk Cousins is not a fraud entirely.

Speaker 1 If they get to the Super Bowl, maybe we get tattoos just saying we were wrong. I don't know.
Or maybe the score. I don't know.

Speaker 10 Or shirts that you could wear if we interview him out in Arizona for the Super Bowl, assuming they're there.

Speaker 1 What would they be? Just saying we were wrong? Yeah.

Speaker 6 Maybe just get an I was wrong tattoo.

Speaker 1 Yeah, I was wrong.

Speaker 6 I could get an I was wrong tattoo.

Speaker 1 I'll do that as well. And you know what? I'll swing the pie.

Speaker 6 I'll also convert to whatever denomination of Christianity Kirk Cousins is.

Speaker 1 Okay. I'm going to be out on that, but I will do the I was wrong tattoo.
If they get to the Super Bowl, and if they win the Super Bowl, I will get a Kirk Cousins fate.

Speaker 1 I will get his face tattooed on me. Yeah, I'm going to get, yeah, so there you go, Vikings face tattooed on me.
Now you can't be upset at us because now we have stakes in the game. Like,

Speaker 1 we have our side, you have your side.

Speaker 1 This is the battle lines have been drawn. This is what it is.
And if we end up being right, you guys,

Speaker 1 if the Vikings don't make it to the Super Bowl, I think any Vikings fan who's listening should get our faces tattooed on their body. But but I'm not going to tell, I'm not going to force them.

Speaker 6 We're doing a handshake right now.

Speaker 1 But it would be nice over the years. It would be nice if

Speaker 1 they would reciprocate.

Speaker 6 The way I look at it, Big Cat, is

Speaker 6 sometimes when you're looking at being real wrong on a take, you got to double down on it.

Speaker 6 And so that's kind of where I am right now, where the Vikings, all signs are pointing to them being kind of real. And I'm just, I can't, I cannot admit.
that I was wrong about this.

Speaker 6 But even double down.

Speaker 1 Even the way this game played out, like the commanders had it, and then Taylor Heineke just did too much Taylor Heineke stuff where they've we've heard it before I think Ron Rivera said afterward that it's like a roller coaster yeah and then Terry McLaurin last week said that he plays every game like it's his last game I don't know if that's good or bad thing it's a great thing yeah well it is but it also is like hey I don't have to I don't have to worry about any of this yeah I don't have to worry about the repercussions of of the passes I'm gonna make so I figured out why I love Taylor so much and obviously like the way that he plays it's it's great it's a lot of fun watching him but like he's not gonna be the quarterback of the future I think that we'll probably look for somebody else to be a starter besides uh now he is what about the picture they're selling 2023 commanders season tickets yeah his picture yeah because he puts asses in season right because he's the future because he's fun to watch and i

Speaker 6 think he's a great quarterback to root for in the dan snyder era because ultimately like i can't i can't put all of myself into this team because in the background i know for a fact that dan's gonna fuck it up somehow imagine if you want to see before he sold it to you that would be terrible that'd be awful you would take it though.

Speaker 6 I would. But it would renounce it.

Speaker 1 I would renounce it.

Speaker 6 I'm here to say I will renounce the Super Bowl and not accept it if it's one under the Dan Sider regime, which it won't be. That's why.

Speaker 1 What if he put together just an incredible, like, uh winner, long-term winner, right before he left? And he's like, you sure I want him to go? You figured it out? Yeah.

Speaker 6 I mean, he has changed the culture in D.C. to the gold standard.
I don't know if you read that press release.

Speaker 1 Yes.

Speaker 6 But yeah, with Taylor Heideke, he's a fun quarterback that you can root for. Well, also in the back of your head, understanding that

Speaker 6 this isn't going anywhere. Like the relationship that you're in, the sex is awesome, but you know that you're not putting a ring on it.
So you're like, I'm just going to, I'm going to enjoy.

Speaker 6 This is a summer roller coaster.

Speaker 6 This is summer love, baby.

Speaker 6 So

Speaker 6 I'm liking Taylor Heineke. He's fun to root for, fun to watch.
He did too much Taylor Heineke today. That interception was pretty bad to Harrison Smith.

Speaker 1 But credit to him, the touchdown pass where he had the ref just completely obliterate the Vikings defender. That's next level Taylor Heineke.

Speaker 1 It was such a hilarious Taylor Heineke play because he went back to throw it deep and it was just like everything exploded. And guys just flying everywhere, ref flying everywhere, touchdown.

Speaker 6 It was like quadruple coverage, if you include the ref, which I am. And then he caught it and rolled into the end zone.
Curtis Samuel did. That was a lot of fun to watch.
Our defense is good again.

Speaker 6 Our defense is like legitimately good. So this is kind of what's been happening with Jack Del Rio defenses over the last like three years.

Speaker 6 Later on in the season, they just get fucking awesome out of nowhere.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 6 So I'm hopeful that the defense is going to continue to improve, but they played good enough to win today. Kirk Cousins had a couple doi-doy plays, but he had a couple really nice throws.

Speaker 6 I'll give him some credit on that one. And then at the end, I don't know what our special teams coach is teaching these guys, but you can't hit the center after they snap it.

Speaker 6 So we were robbed of Taylor Heineke doing something either really, really stupid or really, really clever at the end of the game, trying to put together a minute and a half drive because of the personal foul that led to the second field goal attempt, which only left Taylor like 13 seconds.

Speaker 6 And we know that that's too much time on the clock for any quarterback in the NFL. Yeah.
But it was, I should have known better than to than to bet against Kirk Cousins on daylight savings time.

Speaker 6 Gets an extra hour of church.

Speaker 4 Yeah. He was ready to go.

Speaker 1 Oh, they covered. Commanders covered.

Speaker 6 Three and a half. They did, but I bet.

Speaker 1 Yeah, minus 10 and a half.

Speaker 6 I bet Commanders minus 10.5.

Speaker 1 That was a wild one.

Speaker 6 I got a little over my skis on that.

Speaker 1 Yeah, you did. But the,

Speaker 1 yeah, the Vikings,

Speaker 1 their first play script is just the best. I went back and I looked.
They're five out of their first eight games, they've scored a touchdown on their first drive.

Speaker 1 Every game is the same with them. They come out and they look incredible.
And then their script, I don't know why they don't just run it back in reverse.

Speaker 1 Then Kirk Cousins, if there's a little bit of pressure or guys are covered downfield, he just does the check down thing for a few quarters, and they find a way to win. And I...
They are a good team.

Speaker 1 They have a four and a half game lead right now in the NFC North. They could clinch this by, I don't know, like second week of December.

Speaker 1 They have the one thing we will find out very quickly if we're going to get tattoos in the next two weeks because they play at the Bills and then at home against the Cowboys.

Speaker 1 And it will be like an angry Bills team that's coming off a loss versus what we think is fraud Vikings will be a good litmus test for how things are going to go.

Speaker 6 Yeah. There was a

Speaker 1 line.

Speaker 6 Oh, Bills Vikings. It's in

Speaker 1 Buffalo. In Buffalo.
Six.

Speaker 6 I don't know if Josh Allen's. Whose line is it anyway?

Speaker 1 I'm going to say

Speaker 6 six and a half.

Speaker 1 what is it eight and a half eight and a half wow that's a lot of points fucking bet on the Vikings

Speaker 6 shit this is what we've been going through all year though is we've kind of like flirted with believing in Kirk Cousins but we have to say no we have to say no Kirk no stop it stop it you're that's that's a bad host they're a good team the chains were I mean unbelievable post-game they were on the plane with the chains it's almost

Speaker 6 it's almost like they're making fun of their dorky friend it's like it's like putting halloween costume on your dog when they put those necklaces on him.

Speaker 6 They're like, oh, look at him.

Speaker 1 Isn't he cute and goofy? You know what?

Speaker 6 He looks like a thug. I'm going to say that.

Speaker 6 Kirk cousins setting a bad example for our children, listening to rap music, putting these chains on. I think he's a disgusting quarterback.

Speaker 1 I have something that I thought that made me very scared when I saw that video.

Speaker 1 I think his teammates like him. Which is bad because I always just went off the assumption that his teammates didn't like him.
But now I think they actually like him.

Speaker 1 And so that's a part, a piece to this puzzle that I have not handicapped.

Speaker 3 Because I think if you're 7-1, it doesn't matter who your quarterback is.

Speaker 1 Right, I know, but I'm just like, they genuinely feels like they like him. So that actually makes me scared.
Again, this is a moment of weakness and Vikings fans are just going to trounce on it.

Speaker 1 And I get it. Like they, we have, we have been a thorn in their side.
And I still feel confident, but... That was the first time I said to myself, huh, they kind of want to be around Kirk Cousins.

Speaker 6 I think they do like him.

Speaker 1 And also, what the hell, Kirk?

Speaker 6 Like, nobody knew that you were that jacked up.

Speaker 1 He's got like an ear pack. So ripped.

Speaker 6 And he's got guns.

Speaker 1 He's got biceps.

Speaker 6 Yeah.

Speaker 6 That's like when you see Adams, Adam Sandler take his shirt off. Yeah.
And he's like, well, this guy, I thought you were frumpy. I thought you were funny and frumpy.

Speaker 6 Kirk Cousins now is like low-key high key jacked up.

Speaker 1 Yeah, no, he is. He's ripped.
He's ripped. He should have his shirt off more often.

Speaker 6 I think that's the thing is, like, I get, I'm very open about my hatred for Kirk Cousins and where it comes from and where it's been and where it's going to go in in the future.

Speaker 6 But I just, I wish he wasn't that good looking with his shirt off. He's just running the score up on me.

Speaker 1 I just, it's the eyeball test. If you watch a Vikings game and you see when he just gets into check down mode, you're like, this guy is never going to make a play that isn't just right there for him.

Speaker 1 Like, he's never going to just scramble around and make a play or throw the ball into a really tight window. I just.

Speaker 1 Vikings fan, you have a very good football team. You're 7-1.
You're 4.5 games up in the NFC North.

Speaker 6 Yeah, that's all I'm going to say. No, you are good.

Speaker 1 You're good. You are good, but you're good still.

Speaker 6 I hope you understand. I hope the real ones out there understand.

Speaker 1 I think a lot of them do.

Speaker 6 There's no way that I'm doubling back on this.

Speaker 1 Yeah,

Speaker 6 I'm driving 100 miles an hour at this light that I see off in the distance. And you know what? It might be a tunnel or it might be a freight train coming my way, as Dan Cable told me.

Speaker 1 Yeah, I just, I'm a little bit softer on it just because the Vikings.

Speaker 1 in their division and you know they're better than the bears you know the whole like if you have a bad team you can't, people are like, oh, well, you can't talk about this other team because you have a bad team.

Speaker 1 It's such a stupid thing. In division, it kind of makes sense.
You know what I mean? Because, like, that's your rival. You play it twice a year.

Speaker 1 So it makes a little bit more sense when I bash the Vikings and people like Bears. I'm like, fuck.
Because we do play each other and we are fighting for the same spot. Yeah.

Speaker 6 One last, last thing here. Think it over timeouts absolutely kill me.
Yeah. I hate the think it over timeout.

Speaker 1 They're so dumb.

Speaker 6 Ron Rivera called a think it over timeout. And at the time, I was like, this is the stupidest thing ever.

Speaker 6 Why are you calling a timeout to think about whether or not you should go for it on fourth down or if you call a timeout to think about whether or not you want to challenge a play yeah that is the stupidest thing ever if you if you are still at the point where you're you're needing an extra like minute and a half to think anything over as a head coach in the nfl that's something that you can straighten out with like a weekend of playing madden well so while i agree 100 i would use them all the time because i absolutely would panic in the moment and just be like fuck timeout let me let me get a second let me get a second with my guys i would use them i would actually only use Think It Over Timeouts.

Speaker 1 I'd use six of them a game, never in the correct like clock stoppage time. It would just be like, Hey, this game's going a little too fast for me.
Can I just get a second? I need to catch my breath.

Speaker 1 I'd probably just go over and take like a sip of water and be like, Okay, I'm back. I'm mentally back.
What are we doing?

Speaker 6 That's why you have the chart that's that somebody prints out and hands to you. That way, you can be like, The chart told me to go.
I blame everything on the chart.

Speaker 6 The chart says, The chart said that was a strong go for us. So, you know, we stick with what the chart tells us.

Speaker 1 Yeah, I would use a lot of them.

Speaker 1 The Packers are really bad and really broken. Oh, the Chiefs just missed a field goal.

Speaker 1 The Titans are going to win this game. Chiefs suck.
Chiefs suck. Titans just have their number.
Every regular season, they have their number. Lions 15, Packers 9.
The Packers are bad.

Speaker 1 Aaron Rodgers is broken. Everyone gets injured on their team.
This is fun.

Speaker 6 Dan Campbell just wants to go home and drink a beer after that victory. That's what his leading comment was in the post-game presser.
Yep. I hear you, buddy.
I hear you.

Speaker 6 For Dan Campbell to beat the Packers, which ironically, I think Dan Campbell Campbell has a winning record against the Packers. I think he's kind of been pretty good against him.

Speaker 6 I think he might be three and

Speaker 1 he might have

Speaker 6 two and one.

Speaker 1 I don't know about that because

Speaker 1 he was the Lions coach last year.

Speaker 6 Did they go one and one last year?

Speaker 1 I think they might have. The Packers won a lot of games last year.

Speaker 4 When he was with Miami?

Speaker 6 No, I think Dan Campbell's got a...

Speaker 1 I don't know. Yeah, they split last year.
Oh, they split, so he's one and two. Or no, two and one.
He's two and one. Two and one.

Speaker 6 So he does have a winning record against them.

Speaker 1 I forgot they beat him last year. Yeah, so

Speaker 6 this is a good thing for the Lions because for a while they were obsessed with being like the best losers. That was Dan Campbell's kind of mantra, which is like, we're going to be the toughest out.

Speaker 1 Oh,

Speaker 1 they beat him when they sat everyone. Week 18.

Speaker 6 We're going to be a tough out. Like, we're not going to roll over for anybody.
That's kind of been their mantra. And now they're able to go out there and get a win against.

Speaker 6 I still think beating the Packers, even though they're not good right now, I still think they have that allure of if you if you beat them, you can tell yourself that you're a good team, dude.

Speaker 1 All I want to do is like I want the Bears to lose every game except beat the Packers this year.

Speaker 1 Yeah, and it's probably going to go like it's there probably won't, but it that's all I've been thinking about because the Packers suck and they suck and they're broken and it's fun, but you know what I'm saying?

Speaker 6 They still are still like recently

Speaker 6 still recently that good enough where if you beat him, you can be like, Yo, we're pretty good.

Speaker 1 Yeah, no, it's Aaron Rodgers, and he will always be scary, especially to other teams in the NFC North. But they

Speaker 1 three interceptions, two goal-line interceptions, one where he threw the ball off of a helmet, a defender's helmet, then went and just bitched out his team.

Speaker 1 And the other, which was like, this is how desperate the Packers have gotten.

Speaker 1 They drew up a play for him to throw a touchdown pass to David Bakhtiari on fourth and one on the goal line and threw an interception there to Aiden Hutchinson. They are bad.

Speaker 6 Like, really bad. 20-yard pass that was 10 yards short that David Bakhtiari intercepted.
Yeah.

Speaker 6 And I think, like, a lot of people are, I know, our own account, part of my take, memes, put out a graphic showing what Aaron Rodgers has done since he's taken ayahuasca and how he's fallen off, including appearing on this very podcast.

Speaker 1 Might have jinxed him.

Speaker 6 I think there are certain jobs that you should not want to have a lot of perspective if you're performing them. Yeah.

Speaker 6 So like he says how he's gained a lot of perspective, how this year it's like it's it's great to see the people that I get to go to work with. I appreciate every day.
I appreciate my job.

Speaker 6 If you're an NFL quarterback, you are just like an NFL anything. You should probably not have any perspective.
Yes.

Speaker 6 It's probably a benefit for you to be like a perspective-less psycho where all you care about is just winning, and that's it.

Speaker 1 Tom Tom Brady 0%.

Speaker 6 Tom Brady left

Speaker 6 his supermodel wife that makes five times as much money as him because he wants to come back and play for the Tampa Bay Bucks this season.

Speaker 1 Have Scotty Miller drop touchdown packs.

Speaker 6 Perspective can be a major hindrance sometimes in life. And I think Aaron Rodgers might have too much of it.

Speaker 1 Yeah, so it's been 329 days since Aaron Rodgers has has last had a 300-yard game that's a lot of days a lot of days and i

Speaker 1 i mean they they don't have any weapons they do have everyone just getting hurt it feels like every game they have someone getting hurt but it was crazy to watch this game because the defense finally played up to what they've been expecting all year and their offense just has been in like first gear for the entire season i three Two goal, two red zone interceptions.

Speaker 1 The last time that has been done is Brett Favre in 2006, which was like late Brett Favre. I know he had one last resurgence, but that was late Brett Favre

Speaker 1 when things were getting kind of bad. Maybe that's what's happening here.

Speaker 6 Maybe he's old. He might be old.

Speaker 1 His thumb hurts.

Speaker 6 Yeah, well, it's COVID thumb.

Speaker 1 COVID thumb?

Speaker 6 We don't like to do the hot take game on this podcast.

Speaker 1 We're dead.

Speaker 6 We're a very irritable human beings here. I know that we study the stats, we watch the tape.

Speaker 6 But I think it is time that we asked the question:

Speaker 6 could Georgia beat the Green Bay Packers?

Speaker 1 Same G.

Speaker 1 That's true. Georgia stole it from.
They actually asked for permission from the Packers.

Speaker 6 That would be a hell of a matchup for a colorblind people.

Speaker 1 Yeah, colorblind people would be very confused. Same G.

Speaker 6 I think that they could hold the Packers to under 30 points.

Speaker 1 Yeah, no, Aaron Rodgers wouldn't throw for 300 yards against them.

Speaker 6 I don't think so. No.

Speaker 1 And it's

Speaker 1 just bad. This is so much fun.
I'm not sure if I can do it. If the game's throwing too much, I'm sorry, but I'm not sorry.

Speaker 6 If the game's played in January, I think they have a pretty good chance who

Speaker 1 just in general if it's aaron rodgers in january yeah yeah yeah did you were saying georgia yeah yeah yes yes we were gonna say billy lil wayne had to comment on oh yeah he he renounced himself right he said rap to the season we should have gotten rid of 12 before the season whoa man that's tough lil wayne out on rogers whoa i feel like that's that sounds personal to me

Speaker 1 is it crazy that's him just saying that the team sucks and for out of respect for aaron they should get rid of him oh you're you're spitting that way? You're just not trying to.

Speaker 1 You just love Lil Wayne.

Speaker 3 Yeah, I think Lil Wayne loves Rodgers.

Speaker 1 Does he? Yeah. Joss definitely shade.
He likes drinking drugs, too.

Speaker 1 Have that in common. Hold on.
I have a question, and this might be crazy, but why if Aaron Rodgers is hurt, and he is kind of hurt, right? Doesn't he have a thumb? Didn't you say he had a COVID thumb?

Speaker 1 He had two thumbs up. No, he actually

Speaker 6 got two thumbs, one of which is not that great right now.

Speaker 1 Okay.

Speaker 6 He did say that he has a thumb injury that's getting worse.

Speaker 1 Shouldn't they just play with Jordan Love? If the season's lost, that actually would be the smart thing to do, would it not?

Speaker 1 And the Packers do usually do the smart thing. That's what drives me insane.
And they have a philosophy and they stick to it.

Speaker 1 Wouldn't that be the smart thing to do to start Jordan Love and just be like, hey, maybe we'll try next year with Aaron Rodgers, but let's see what this kid is.

Speaker 6 I think it'd probably make your wide receivers feel like at least a little bit better as human beings. Yeah.

Speaker 6 Because right now, every player that's every wide receiver that's on that team has had to deal with a month and a half of people in the media and inside your own locker room saying, we stink.

Speaker 6 We need to go out and find somebody that can come in and elevate this receiving core. Why doesn't Aaron Rodgers have anybody to throw to? And if you're in that room, you're probably like,

Speaker 6 what am I? Am I chopped liver? Am I really that bad? If you get Jordan Love in, people don't have that conversation about like, how come no one's giving Jordan Love any weapons?

Speaker 1 Right.

Speaker 6 They might gel a little bit better.

Speaker 1 I don't understand how the cap works in the NFL. Dead cap? I think that's just money that you can never get rid of, right? Even if you cut them, that's just dead cap.

Speaker 6 Yeah. Yeah.
It's dead.

Speaker 1 Is this number correct? I'm reading this number right now.

Speaker 6 Man, this really sucks.

Speaker 1 For Packers fans, next year, Aaron Rodgers' dead cap number is $99 million.

Speaker 6 There's no way. Yeah.

Speaker 1 $99 million?

Speaker 1 That's a lot of million dollars. That's a lot of million dollars.
That's too bad. That's almost $100 million.
That's a shame. That is a shame.

Speaker 1 I don't.

Speaker 1 They're done. Are they in Cap Hell? They're done, right? They're done.
Are they already in Cap Hell? Do I have to worry about this? They're done.

Speaker 1 You guys need to reassure me.

Speaker 6 They're done. No, the Packers stink.
Okay, good.

Speaker 1 They're done.

Speaker 6 They actually stink.

Speaker 1 Because I've done this many, many times.

Speaker 1 I've

Speaker 1 got a victory dance where I've been like, they're dead, they're dead, they're dead. To have them just rise from the ashes and just make me look like a fool.
They just got beat by the Lions.

Speaker 1 Yeah, they look like the Mike McCarthy Packers that last year.

Speaker 1 And they play the Cowboys next week. I'm sure that will go well.

Speaker 1 They better be done.

Speaker 3 Fluid Wayne says it's got to be true. Okay.

Speaker 1 They better be done. They better be done.
And Lions, credit to Lions. Gutsy win.

Speaker 1 Jared owns the Packers. Yeah, he does.
Trade TJ Hawkinson.

Speaker 1 They have two guys he does. Two and one.

Speaker 6 No, no, it's just the way that you say Hawkinson. Hawkinson.
Hawkinson.

Speaker 1 How do you say it?

Speaker 6 You're saying it like it's a club in Vegas.

Speaker 1 Yeah, that's Hawkinson.

Speaker 6 It's Hawkinson.

Speaker 1 Hawkinson. Hawkinson is the club.

Speaker 1 Hawkinson.

Speaker 1 Hawkinson. All right, so they trade TJ Hawkinson, and

Speaker 1 they bring up a guy from practice squad.

Speaker 6 They bring up two Zildstras.

Speaker 1 Two Zildstras.

Speaker 6 They had two brothers named Zildstra, and they both got elevated to play in a game today, and one of them caught a touchdown pass. Pretty cool.

Speaker 1 That's kind of wild. Pretty cool.
Also, Amon Ross St.

Speaker 6 Brown, he passed Calvin Johnson today for the most receptions through two seasons of any Lions receiver of all time. And that includes Calvin Johnson.

Speaker 1 That's crazy.

Speaker 6 So he's had a pretty good rookie and a half year. Yeah.

Speaker 1 And, yeah, the Lions are.

Speaker 1 This actually was was big for Dan Campbell. I think the beer comment makes sense because he needs to win one of these type of games to get the pressure off him.

Speaker 1 Because if the Lions win four, five games, I think he's good. Yeah.
That feels like the right amount.

Speaker 6 Five games is an improvement. And like I was saying, you can still spin this into being a big win if you're a bad team.

Speaker 1 If you're like the Lions and you beat the Packers, no, beating the Packers is always fun.

Speaker 6 You still beat the Packers. So, yeah, you can

Speaker 1 do it.

Speaker 6 Dan Campbell should be very happy for himself. Jared played, I think Jared played really well today.
I didn't watch that much of the game, but they beat the Packers. Oh, I watched it.

Speaker 1 It was fun.

Speaker 1 So Jared beat the Packers. They were fucking moaning and bitching and screaming and yelling.
And I just want to remind everyone a quote before we go to the next game.

Speaker 1 Aaron Rodgers did say guys who are making too many mistakes shouldn't be playing. So Jordan Love should be playing then.

Speaker 6 Wait, are you saying that three interceptions?

Speaker 1 Three interceptions.

Speaker 6 Those are mistakes.

Speaker 1 Red zone interceptions. Two of them were basically goal-line interceptions.

Speaker 6 So

Speaker 6 the second interception that he had, I'm like, Aaron Rodgers is throwing this game. Yeah.

Speaker 6 He looked like he was throwing this game.

Speaker 1 Guys who are making too many mistakes shouldn't be playing. That's his quote, not mine.
That's his quote. Just saying.

Speaker 1 Okay, next up. Dolphins, 35.
Bears, 32. Shoot out.
Jake and I.

Speaker 1 Jake, I don't know if you want to start with your Dolphins. They're good.
Tua is good.

Speaker 10 Yeah, I mean, this offense keeps not surprising us, but keeps showing out every single week. It's crazy.
Undefeated with Tua. Like,

Speaker 10 I mentioned I called them going potentially 11-0 because I was looking at the

Speaker 10 softer schedule, and then he got hurt. Like, if you need to get hurt, you're looking at 8-1 right now, maybe, or 7-2, and they're 6-3 right now.

Speaker 10 At full strength, it's the most important position in sports.

Speaker 1 Facts.

Speaker 10 He's

Speaker 10 undefeated.

Speaker 1 He's undefeated.

Speaker 1 When he starts and finishes a game, they have not lost. Yeah.
And he also.

Speaker 1 We don't do nerd stats, but I was told that Tua in the stat expected points added, which sounds like a pretty good stat. He is number one in QBs this year.
Two is Mahomes. Three is Hurts.

Speaker 1 So that, I mean, that proves it. And you have the Browns.

Speaker 10 And the Texans at home with a bye week, you're ideally looking at 8-3.

Speaker 1 Whoa. Wow.
Entering December.

Speaker 6 I like how anytime there's a good stat out there that I learn about,

Speaker 6 was that EPA?

Speaker 1 Expected

Speaker 6 points added. So, as soon as I learned that stat, they're going to drop EPA plus on me.
Right. And then I'm not going to know what the fuck's going on.

Speaker 1 Yeah. And that's one of those ones.

Speaker 1 I don't want to know what goes into it. I'll just trust it.

Speaker 6 Yeah. EPA sounds good.

Speaker 1 It sounds very good, and two is number one. As for the Bears, another pretty much perfect game in terms of Justin Fields was incredible.

Speaker 1 He broke the regular season record for rushing yards by a quarterback, 178.

Speaker 1 That run he made, the 62-yard touchdown run where he he had like three dolphins around him and he pump faked and then just fucking hit the burners i'm i'm still i'm still in just like he's the guy he is the guy he's making throws that was a part of my take guy off it was and what do you think about justin fields he was awesome he was pretty awesome yeah i don't know how to feel like it's upside down world i'm i'm conditioned to always be dreading the offense and wanting the defense to be on the field because the bears always have a defense and no offense i am now in a point where it's like, when, because they're not going to try to win this year and they're not trying to win, they just traded their two best defensive players.

Speaker 1 When they're on defense, I'm just like, can we just get this over with? Like, let them score a touchdown. I want to see Justin Fields again.

Speaker 6 Yeah, the only thing I'd be concerned about for Justin Fields' future, and he looked awesome today when he runs with the ball, he does look electric.

Speaker 6 And he actually doesn't look like any other quarterback in the NFL because

Speaker 6 he's got great speed, but he's a big dude. He's thick.

Speaker 1 He's a really big guy.

Speaker 6 He's built. It's tough to tackle him just like straight up, even if you do get a hand on him.

Speaker 6 The only thing I'd be concerned about is why it took the Bears so long to do this type of offense for them.

Speaker 1 First answer is Matt Nagy. Yeah.
Okay. I get that.
He took like a month, a month ago.

Speaker 6 And he was probably resentful of the fact that they drafted him in the first place. Correct.
And so he didn't want to implement that offense with him, which is really weird. And then with Eberflus,

Speaker 1 why did he do that? Well, Luke Goetze, the new offensive coordinator, he came from the Packers.

Speaker 1 There was a while there where I was like, he's a secret agent, but that's no longer the case. I think he would just didn't, I think he just did a bad job to start the season.
And he didn't like.

Speaker 6 But anyone that's watched Justin Fields going back to his time in college knows like you have to let him move around a little bit.

Speaker 1 But we see it all the time in the pros where guys,

Speaker 1 coaches, coaching staffs try to fit their quarterbacks to their system instead of the other way around. And they finally were like, fuck it, let's use his strengths.

Speaker 1 He's ran 16 out of 20 third down conversions when he's run on a third down to try to get the first down. He's converted 16 out of 20.

Speaker 1 I think he had 11 first downs today with his feet, which broke the record.

Speaker 1 And he's making throws too, because when you can run, the throws become easier because everyone's scared you're going to run. So it's all like, I don't know how to feel.

Speaker 1 He is everything I've ever wanted.

Speaker 6 So the way that he's played right now, it's weird. I said this to you during the game.
It's weird seeing a quarterback that is that exciting playing in a Bears uniform. Yes.

Speaker 6 It almost doesn't make sense.

Speaker 1 None of it makes sense.

Speaker 6 Because he's electric. He's running with the ball.
He's having fun. The offense, he did smile today,

Speaker 6 which is nice to see. Because before, I was like, this is torture for this guy playing in an offense that doesn't suit his skill set whatsoever.

Speaker 6 But watching him have fun and run through and around defenders, it was... I was, my brain was breaking.
I was like, there's no way that this is a Bears quarterback.

Speaker 6 And I'd like the people that like to torture you, big cat, with the stats. Oh, yeah.

Speaker 6 There are a lot of quarterback stats people that like to be like, let's compare this against the last 10 quarterbacks from the the Bears or whatever, keep that same energy. Yeah.

Speaker 6 When the Bears quarterback just did something that Michael Vick never did.

Speaker 1 I'm also at the point now because I'm obviously watching every Bears game.

Speaker 1 If when people come at me with like, oh, he only threw like 150, 40 yards in a loss, I'm just like, you didn't watch the game.

Speaker 1 You're not watching the game. So it doesn't matter to me.
Like, you can say all the stats you want.

Speaker 1 If you haven't watched the game and you haven't watched what Justin Fields has done in the last month, month plus, then then I don't,

Speaker 1 your opinion is irrelevant because what I'm watching,

Speaker 1 I'm literally like on, I am on cloud nine. I'm on cloud nine.
I'm like, I'm excited for Bears games. I was like, I woke up this morning excited to watch Justin Fields.
The defense is trash. I do.

Speaker 1 Terrible. Terrible, terrible, terrible.

Speaker 1 It was a joke watching them try to like tackle these guys and keep up with Waddle and Tyreek Hill, but I don't care.

Speaker 6 It's even better that they're bad because that means that you get more time watching Justin Fields get onto the field right to play.

Speaker 1 The block punt. The block punt decided the game.
Like Justin Fields is so good today. They almost beat the Dolphins.
The block punt was the deciding factor.

Speaker 1 He actually, and he made a throw in that last drive to Equamanius St. Brown.
I probably butchered his name too, in his hands, dropped it.

Speaker 1 It's like, he's doing everything I want, and we're losing games, which is good because draft picks. And the thing that people always forget about losing games is your schedule next year.

Speaker 6 And

Speaker 6 this is a productive loss. Yeah.
You lost to the Dolphins, and you could definitely tell yourself, we played good enough to beat the Dolphins. Yeah, we definitely did.

Speaker 6 And most times when your name is mentioned in a sentence with Mike Vick, you're doing something really, really good.

Speaker 6 And the fact that I was actually shocked that Vic had never had that many rushing games.

Speaker 1 The Vikings game he had where he had the walk-off touchdown was like 160, I want to say. And then I think Kaepernick beat it in a game against the game against the Packers in the postseason.

Speaker 6 That game was awesome.

Speaker 1 That game was also orgasmic.

Speaker 1 Billy, what were you going to say?

Speaker 10 Also, Tyreek Hill already having a thousand games a week.

Speaker 1 Insane.

Speaker 1 He is so good. His flip, too.

Speaker 1 I know it's stupid to be impressed by a flip, but just

Speaker 1 his movement is just so effortless. And he's such a freak.
He's a freak.

Speaker 6 He's an absolute freak. It's like when you saw Bo Jackson climb up the outfield wall like it was nothing.
Yeah. That's what it's like.

Speaker 6 Tyreek Hill catches a touchdown pass and he does a backflip and his feet get 17 feet up in the air. It's crazy.
It's insane.

Speaker 6 I think Tyreek Hill could probably, if he spent like two years training for the decathlon, probably take home a gold medal. He's probably the best best athlete in the world.

Speaker 1 He really is insane. What are you going to say, Billy?

Speaker 4 Do you think that the usage of Justin Fields is gimmicky or sustained?

Speaker 1 Oh, here we go. Here come the haters.
I like just one controls. Did Briscoe just text that too? Controls.
No, that's a big time prison.

Speaker 4 The way he runs is not like Lamar Jackson. It's not as elusive.

Speaker 1 And at the end of the day, I mean, he was pretty fucking elusive today. Did you watch the game?

Speaker 4 I prepped for this. I saw highlights.
Okay, so the way he watched the game isn't as elusive as Lamar Jackson. He takes more impacts.
He's a larger baller.

Speaker 1 He didn't take that many hits today. He's going to take more.

Speaker 1 Okay, again, you didn't watch the game. No, I'm just asking.

Speaker 4 I'm just asking.

Speaker 4 Plus the way they're using him, do you think that it's going to be something that's going to be game planned for and something we want to see?

Speaker 1 Well, yeah. And then you have to game plan against it.
And you have to game plan off it.

Speaker 1 So I'm happy you brought it up because you are one of the trolls I'm talking about who isn't watching the games.

Speaker 1 Because

Speaker 1 he went out of bounds a lot. He slides well.
He also was very elusive when he was just running past people. And they don't have anyone, like, he doesn't have great talent around him.

Speaker 1 Chase Claypool is nice. Darnell Mooney, I think, is good.
I was probably too mean on him when I was saying that he wouldn't be, you know, he'd be the three on a lot of other teams.

Speaker 1 He's actually, you know, playing well. They have good running backs.
They still need a full overhaul pretty much of the offensive line. So, yeah,

Speaker 1 they're going to evolve. Like, they don't have talent.

Speaker 4 I'm just asking the question.

Speaker 1 Right. Yeah.
Billy

Speaker 1 is a one for the

Speaker 1 No, you have to ask.

Speaker 1 Yeah, you're asking.

Speaker 1 Do you have an opinion on him? Don't silence Billy. I'm not a silent.
I'm treasuring for you. He's a levy tree.
I'm not silencing him, but do you have an opinion?

Speaker 4 He's a brick house and he's making plays and he's making offense. And it's hard to create offense in the NFL.

Speaker 1 I have no idea why. I don't even hate Zach Wilson.
You've made this as Zach Wilson. I'm not Johnson Fieldsing.

Speaker 1 I like.

Speaker 1 No, no, no.

Speaker 4 I'm not. This isn't personal.
I'm just raising that because that's a question.

Speaker 1 Okay. You were thinking about.
Listen, I do think

Speaker 6 about it. It is valid to say that anytime you have a running quarterback, then it raises the likelihood of injury.

Speaker 6 But I don't think that there's anything inherent about Justin Fields' game in particular that makes it any more dangerous than, say, Josh Allen running with the football.

Speaker 1 Right.

Speaker 4 But we were saying Josh Allen in the beginning of the season, but he's running towards the business.

Speaker 6 I would still absolutely take Josh Allen 100 times out of 10. You know, like, yes, it is something that you have to think about.

Speaker 6 But if it's a big dude running at people, chances are more often than not, they'll be the ones who are not.

Speaker 1 He's a big dude.

Speaker 1 Look at him out of power. You know what also could get him really hurt?

Speaker 1 Is having guys not get open and standing in the pocket and getting smoked. True.
Right. Kyle.

Speaker 1 You can get hurt just as easily doing that.

Speaker 6 You could just wake up and debt and die.

Speaker 1 Right.

Speaker 6 But I mean, him. Terry Bradshaw.

Speaker 1 He's moving after, like,

Speaker 1 the way he moves. No, I'm not.
I'm not worried. I know this will be something I'll have to deal with for the rest of my life.

Speaker 1 He'll win like five Super Bowls and I'll be the happiest person in the world. And the Billies of the world will be like, well, it's not so much.
Look, I wasn't. But that's fine.
He wasn't hating.

Speaker 4 We've seen, like, Cam Newton had amazing stretches.

Speaker 1 He won an MVP. He went to the Super Bowl.

Speaker 4 He had amazing stretches, but down the stretch we saw it wasn't sustainable.

Speaker 1 You're right. Yeah, after.

Speaker 1 I'm just saying. I'm just saying, after.

Speaker 1 You are right that Justin Fields eventually

Speaker 1 will probably catch up with him at some point in his 30s that he won't be able to do.

Speaker 4 He threw touchdown passes today. Three.

Speaker 1 Yeah, it was. Three of them.
It was great.

Speaker 4 Three of them. It was great to see it was electric, but do you think that they're going to probably move away from that when they start to get more of a structure around him?

Speaker 1 Yes.

Speaker 1 I think this is more to get every, like his,

Speaker 1 his floor has been risen because they've been using his legs.

Speaker 1 I think once he has some really good talent around him, they can start doing a lot more passing and rely less on his legs and not have to game plan like these designed runs, which actually I love because it keeps everyone off balance.

Speaker 1 Like the defense, the Dolphins' defense was off balance all day.

Speaker 1 So I'm not worried. Don't try to yuck my yum.

Speaker 4 I'm not yucking my yum. I was asking you a question.

Speaker 1 You're yucking my yum. It's a question.

Speaker 1 He watched a couple of highlights.

Speaker 6 I think it was a valid question. I also think that it got dunked on pretty sufficiently.

Speaker 4 It was a question. Yeah, no,

Speaker 4 that needs to be answered.

Speaker 6 And I gave you an answer with the Josh Allen take, which is like you can look at Justin Fields and Josh Allen. They're built kind of similar, both big guys.

Speaker 6 They both inflict a good amount of punishment. Yes, there's going to be a risk involved anytime you have a running quarterback, but a lot of times it's definitely worth the reward.

Speaker 1 And if he knows how to slide, like I actually think I changed my opinion about this with Lamar because I used to think, oh, Lamar's not going to be sustainable, but Lamar does a great job of not ever taking big, big hits.

Speaker 1 And Justin Fields is a tough motherfucker. He's taking big hits, and he's, I mean, it's football.
Everyone's going to get injured eventually.

Speaker 6 Dude, remember when he broke his ribs? Yeah. In that game against Clemson? Yeah.

Speaker 1 How many injuries?

Speaker 1 Zach Wilson had not that. Good amount.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 He's trying to run more.

Speaker 1 Pocket is a scary place. Well, no.
Pocket is a scary place. He injured his knee running.
Oh. Okay, run less.

Speaker 6 Well, run less backwards, but more forwards.

Speaker 1 Here's the thing.

Speaker 6 And also, don't hurt yourself when you're running.

Speaker 1 I know our guys were drafted in the same class. I have no reason to hate the Jets.
I don't hate the Jets.

Speaker 1 I don't want it to become a Justin Fields versus Zach Wilson thing because I don't want you to lose this badly.

Speaker 4 Look, I'm just posing questions. We don't have to make it competitive.
We're just discussing it.

Speaker 1 Yeah, right.

Speaker 6 Anybody that's putting the honest eyeball test on those two quarterbacks would be like,

Speaker 6 you're insane for thinking that right now Zach Wilson looks like a better field. In the last, I know it's been recently.

Speaker 1 Listen to the tape now. I would say

Speaker 1 listen to the tape. I listened to this tape.
Okay, I listened to tape. And I said, if you were to join my two takes, we have it.
Wait, if you were to join my tape, Billy, we have it. Let's listen.

Speaker 1 Play the whole tape.

Speaker 1 It was better than Zach Wilson's first start. Yeah, so Billy, actually, I'm glad that you brought up Zach Wilson.

Speaker 1 Would you give up Zach Wilson right now for Sam Ellinger?

Speaker 1 How deep into this take are you? I'm deep into both these takes, really, really deep. You can only be deep in one.
It's like holes.

Speaker 4 Well, I'm just saying, as a guy who doesn't throw interceptions, no, I'm talking holes.

Speaker 1 Which who's

Speaker 1 inside of? I'm in

Speaker 1 holes. You can't.
It's very deep.

Speaker 4 And if I want to make a tunnel between the two of the holes and make a tunnel system, pick one hole.

Speaker 1 Okay.

Speaker 4 Then Sam Ellinger would probably go to this. That is now

Speaker 1 saying.

Speaker 1 Whoa.

Speaker 1 That's not

Speaker 1 a big thing you just said.

Speaker 1 Oh, my God.

Speaker 1 How about shaking it?

Speaker 1 You fact me into the back. I'm gonna let you take it back.
You get five seconds to take it back. You fact into me.

Speaker 1 I'm not taking it back. Two, one, and it's permanent.
It's permanent. Not the guy.
Zach Wilson's. You want Sam Ellery over Zach Wilson? Play the whole time.
Perfect.

Speaker 1 Make it permanent.

Speaker 4 I just said, as a guy who doesn't throw interceptions, that's the kind of guy you want as your quarterback.

Speaker 1 Yeah. I mean, we're seeing that.
You're making it worse right now. You're talking about Sam Ellen.

Speaker 4 No, I'm saying I just want a guy with no interceptions. That's what I said.
The only thing I said. No, but

Speaker 1 in that moment, you were referencing

Speaker 1 Zach Ellen. No, I said I just want a guy

Speaker 6 with not throwing interceptions.

Speaker 4 I just want a guy with no interceptions. That's what I said.

Speaker 4 If Sam Ellinger was on the Jets, I could both root for Sam Ellinger and the Jets at the same time. Billy, that's what I was saying.

Speaker 6 Billy, you know that in that moment you were referring to Sam Ellinger being the guy that didn't get it.

Speaker 4 When people are yelling at you and backing you into a corner, it's hard to get your real point across.

Speaker 1 I said, I want a guy with no interceptions.

Speaker 4 That's what I said. And you can see it on the tape.

Speaker 1 Okay. Mm-hmm.

Speaker 6 I heard what I heard. I think Billy is gaslighting us a little bit.

Speaker 1 I heard it too.

Speaker 6 You're Zacklighting us.

Speaker 1 You guys heard heard it.

Speaker 6 I've been Zacklit.

Speaker 1 I heard it too. And I gave you the chance to take it back.

Speaker 4 No, you guys just yelled at me.

Speaker 1 I can't get my point of card.

Speaker 4 I said a guy with no interceptions.

Speaker 1 That's all you want. That's tough.
Okay, well, why don't we bring up Sam Ellinger? Yeah, yeah. Patriots, 26, Colts, three.

Speaker 1 All right, let's see where we're going to start. Okay, I'll just read off some stats.

Speaker 1 Sam Ellinger had 43 net yards. He had 103 passing yards, nine sacks for minus 60 yards.
The Colts were 0-14 on third downs.

Speaker 1 The Colts' lone scoring drive today was eight plays,

Speaker 1 18 yards, 40-yard field goal.

Speaker 1 They ran 60 plays for 121 yards total. It was a debacle.
A total debacle.

Speaker 1 A total, total debacle.

Speaker 6 It was bad. Colts 0 for 13 on third down.

Speaker 1 0 for 14.

Speaker 6 0 for 14.

Speaker 6 It was a good stat padding game for Judon. You got to have one of those.
He's up to 11 and a half sacks right now.

Speaker 6 Credit to Sam Ellinger, though. I want to say something very nice about Sam Ellinger because after the game, he said everybody is going to look at those nine sacks and say it's on the offensive line.

Speaker 1 But it's not.

Speaker 1 It's on everyone, including me.

Speaker 6 So credit to Sam Ellinger for saying very, very clearly.

Speaker 6 Everyone's going to look at the nine sacks and say it's on the offensive line. Everyone's going to say it, but it's not.
It's on everyone, including me. Wow.

Speaker 6 So that's, I thought that was big of him, Billy. I thought

Speaker 6 he was taking that type of leadership. And as a Colts fan myself, too, I got to say that's the kind of guy that we can build around.
Yep. But we got to fire Frank Reich.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 6 Get him out the door. Yep.

Speaker 4 If you watched the game,

Speaker 1 we did. Oh, we watched the whole game.
I watched the whole game too. Yeah, we did.

Speaker 4 Sam Ellinger got fed to the Wolves. Yeah.

Speaker 4 In a rainy Foxborough day.

Speaker 1 It was not.

Speaker 4 It was rainy. It was raining.
There was much rain.

Speaker 1 There was cold and rainy. It was a messy day.

Speaker 4 It was rainy. The same weather system that made East Rutherford rainy also made Foxborough rainy.

Speaker 1 I think we're overstating the amount of rain that was in the rain.

Speaker 4 It was a drizzle. It was a weird drizzle.

Speaker 1 Drizzles are tough.

Speaker 1 You got to play quarterback and drizzle.

Speaker 4 That's what I'm just saying. Sam Ellinger got fed to the wolves in his first game.
No one wants to judge

Speaker 1 these wolves. It feels like you're being spat on a little bit.

Speaker 6 There were a bunch of moist wolves running around out there that just tore him limb from limb to this drizzle.

Speaker 4 In his first game against Bill Belichick, you can't really judge any rookie quarterback. I think we can say that from every single quarterback.

Speaker 1 Second year, but yeah, yeah.

Speaker 4 Well, first year starting.

Speaker 1 Oh, he played last week. Again.

Speaker 1 He played last week. It was his first year.

Speaker 6 First year.

Speaker 6 I do agree with that, that Belichick against young quarterbacks, he's a wolf.

Speaker 4 And he had nothing.

Speaker 1 Now, though, if it had gone reverse and Sam Ellinger had thrown three touchdowns,

Speaker 1 what would the response have been? We would have been like, he's the best ever.

Speaker 4 I don't think any rookie quarterback has thrown for that much against the modern Belichick Patriots.

Speaker 4 I don't think that's... It's definitely up there, but I don't think anyone's had.

Speaker 1 tied with three interceptions.

Speaker 6 I hear what Josh Allen's done against him.

Speaker 4 Josh Allen threw three interceptions against him. Okay.
And I know he's had struggles against him.

Speaker 1 Justin Fields had a pretty good game against him.

Speaker 4 In his first year.

Speaker 1 Well,

Speaker 1 they were in the same draft class, Sam Ellinger and Justin Fields. I know, but this is Justin Fields' second year.

Speaker 1 Also, Sam Ellinger's second year.

Speaker 6 Yeah, okay. Yeah.
I just want to double check. First year starting.

Speaker 1 Right, first year starting. Right.
So he's working. All right, let's start with him.

Speaker 4 But you went the Jets one, so.

Speaker 1 Right. There you go.
Okay, but I was really concerned. We're talking about Ellinger's guy right now.
We're talking about your guy. Yeah, Frank Reich needs to be fired.
It's crazy that he fired the OC.

Speaker 1 They traded a running back. He then benched Matt Ryan.
So he basically was like, everyone else is the problem except me. And then he comes out and puts out this type of offensive output.

Speaker 1 Like, this is, it was a last stand, and the last stand was a complete dud. And I don't know, Jim Marce has to, like, I know he doesn't like to fire guys.

Speaker 1 He's probably crying right now thinking about it. but that was one of the worst, like, games, offensive games, like, everything.
And the Patriots weren't even, the Patriots didn't play that great.

Speaker 1 Like, their offense wasn't that great.

Speaker 1 And what? Their offense wasn't that great. No, it wasn't.
The game was great. Yeah, right, right.
Like,

Speaker 1 it wasn't like the Patriots were playing their A-level game and they just beat the fuck out of the Colts.

Speaker 1 The Patriots are playing a C-level game and they beat the fuck out of the Colts, telling you how bad the Colts played.

Speaker 6 Yeah, the Colts were very, very bad today. And I don't...
they were missing Jonathan Taylor, which is a pretty, that's like 90% of their offense. Yeah.
When things go well, that's, they, they

Speaker 6 want to feed him. Injuries happen, uh, but there's no way that that Frank Reich is going to stick around as a coach.

Speaker 6 I like, I like what Jim Merce is doing, though. He's rebranding into being the guy that just goes after Snyder full-time because everybody's like, great job, sir.
Great job.

Speaker 6 Thank you for speaking up for the voiceless. But he's also kind of neglecting what's going on in his own backyard right now.
Which is, and it pains me to say as a Colts fan.

Speaker 1 But

Speaker 6 I mean, Frank Reich needs to be gone last week.

Speaker 1 And you know, like, we always talk about the signs that people should look for.

Speaker 1 The owner saying, I have full confidence in the coach, the coach firing the offensive coordinator, the coach, you know, maybe making the play calls himself. Frank Reich did the final one today.

Speaker 1 He said in the post-game press conference, I know this doesn't carry weight out there, but you're never as far off as you think.

Speaker 1 You're pretty far off.

Speaker 6 You're pretty far off, dude. We're so close.

Speaker 1 You're pretty far. Guys, we're so close.
It's just uh we get a couple bounces here and there he's doing the one play and everything could be different

Speaker 1 uh and and i don't think that's the case right now i think actually they did matt ryan a favor like matt ryan not having to be part of this is actually very nice for his own legacy i think we have to look at this and say nine sacks if it was matt ryan it would probably be what 14, 15 sacks today?

Speaker 1 He would have been dead. Yeah, Matt Ryan would be dead.
Yeah.

Speaker 6 Frank Reich saved Matt Ryan's life today.

Speaker 1 Yes, he he did. Which is here.

Speaker 6 That's more important than any final score could ever be.

Speaker 1 Hank, how are you feeling? You weren't that pumped. Nah.
No.

Speaker 3 It was a gross game. It was a three and out fest.
Offense didn't look good playing against basically a college quarterback, so I don't really think that counts.

Speaker 3 And then when you look at the division, it's like, you know, the Jets are legit. The Dolphins are legit.
The Bills are legit. It's just a weird...

Speaker 3 I mean, we've kind of had this ongoing conversation of just dealing with

Speaker 3 being mid, but it's, you know, we won, but

Speaker 1 at what cost?

Speaker 3 Not even at what cost, it's just how excited can you get about beating Sam Ellinger.

Speaker 1 Here's something to be excited about. Nick Folk has Matthew Judon's beast.

Speaker 6 Yeah, he is. I got pretty excited last week.

Speaker 1 It's okay to be

Speaker 6 a different franchise. What does that mean? Yeah.

Speaker 1 Different franchises.

Speaker 6 Hank, in that case, allow me to explain something to you. Here's what you should do: just rebrand into being like the AFC Beast, best division.

Speaker 1 Oh, I did that. Okay, good.
Yeah, I'm not sure.

Speaker 3 I'm well on my left.

Speaker 1 No, it is true that. they are.
It is the best division in football. Hank is going from the top to the middle, and we're clawing from the bottom to try to even.

Speaker 1 The middle would be great. Yeah.

Speaker 1 If the Bears were the middle, I'd be like, this is awesome.

Speaker 6 Being eight and nine. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Nine and eight.

Speaker 1 We're the spoilers. We're basically playing spoiler for the rest of the year.
No playoffs.

Speaker 3 No, we can make the playoffs, but it would be, you know, it would be surprising.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 3 If we made the playoffs over the Jets, Dolphins, or Bills at this point, it'd be a shock.

Speaker 1 Maybe the whole AFC Beast does it.

Speaker 3 Is that possible? That'd be funny.

Speaker 1 I think that's possible. Yeah, with seven teams now, it is.
It's possible. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Did I just lighten your move?

Speaker 3 Yeah, I like that. Yeah.

Speaker 8 When do we get the first beat?

Speaker 6 Why do we need a playoff machine? I need to know. We need a playoff machine week 10.

Speaker 1 We really do. Playoff machine rocks.
Nick Folk has nine field goals in the last two games. That's got to count for something.

Speaker 3 That's awesome. He's a guy.

Speaker 1 That's a lot of field goals. That's a shitload of field goals.
It is. That's bad.

Speaker 3 That's bad.

Speaker 1 Three points, three points, pretty good.

Speaker 6 Yeah, I mean, you can beat teams like the Colts with field goals.

Speaker 3 The beginning of this game, I think, was

Speaker 6 five straight three and outs.

Speaker 3 Maybe the Colts got one first down off a flag.

Speaker 1 It was just gross. It's rare that you can say

Speaker 1 up winner, but I had the under because both in our Friday picks, and then I bet it, and I was just like, saw maybe five minutes. I was like, yep, that's a winner.

Speaker 1 They could play forever, and this is not going over because it was that bad, and it looked that bad the whole time. But five and four, yeah, five and four.

Speaker 3 Bye-week Jets, bye-week Jets.

Speaker 1 The Jets, that feels like, whoo,

Speaker 1 that's a big one. I'm excited.
That's a big one.

Speaker 4 Revenge game.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 4 With a timid Zach Wilson.

Speaker 1 No, oh, I thought you were saying revenge game because they just beat up your quarterback, Sam Ellinger.

Speaker 4 Revenge for double revenge game.

Speaker 6 I think that if Zach Wilson defends your honor by beating the Patriots to reclaim

Speaker 6 Sam Sam Ellinger's name. I think I might grant you a one-week reprieve to switch back.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 I never

Speaker 1 do the takebacks.

Speaker 6 But you have to admit that you switched off.

Speaker 1 I never

Speaker 6 take first. Okay, then I won't allow the take back.

Speaker 1 The Colts have to play the Raiders and then the Eagles. I mean, the Raiders are so bad, so maybe they'll win, but this is...

Speaker 1 They have to fire everyone.

Speaker 6 This was a perfect game, actually, for Mac Jones to get back out there, get a win. Probably didn't get booed by the home crowd, right?

Speaker 1 No, I don't think so.

Speaker 1 Who gets fired first? There's actually three guys that can get fired at this point. I agree.
It's Josh McDaniels, Cliff Kingsbury, and Frank Reich.

Speaker 1 No way do all three of those guys make it to the end of the season, right? There's no chance. I would say Josh McDaniels is probably the most likely because it's his first year.

Speaker 6 First year to make it to the end of the season. Yes.

Speaker 1 Yes, yes.

Speaker 6 I think Cliff, we're looking at a possible Cliff firing first.

Speaker 1 I think Cliff might get fired. When is their bye week?

Speaker 6 Because I just think that Ursa is going to, he's going to hold off on firing. And you're right, Frank Reich might be able to talk him into keeping his job.

Speaker 6 Depending, again, on what Bob Dylan's song Jim Ursai has listened to most recently,

Speaker 6 he can be talked into doing just about anything. So I think that it's unlikely that Reich will get fired midseason.
He might, but I think it's less likely that Cliff will.

Speaker 1 I think Cliff, if Cliff loses to the Rams, 49ers, and Chargers before the bye week, I think he's going to get fired.

Speaker 6 You know, it'd be very funny, though, if Cliff got fired from the Colts, or excuse me, Cliff got fired from the Cardinals and then got hired to be a head coach at a better franchise. Yeah.

Speaker 6 Like continued to fail off at this point.

Speaker 1 They're like, Cliff.

Speaker 6 Like he gets fired from the Cardinals. Belichick retires at the end of the season and the Patriots hire Cliff Kingsbury.
Yes. That would be the ultimate Cliff Kingsbury.

Speaker 1 Yes. And he's coming home.
As

Speaker 1 that picture they love to show of him backing up Tom Brady. Yes.

Speaker 1 okay next up, Chargers 20, Falcons 17.

Speaker 1 The double fumble. This game was crazy because it felt like the Falcons were kind of in control.
And the Chargers were down to, they were missing Keenan Allen and Mike Williams.

Speaker 1 So Joshua Palmer was their wide receiver one who had a great game.

Speaker 1 And it looked like the Chargers were about to win. Austin Eckler fumbles.

Speaker 1 Tyquan Graham picks it up, starts running, and just dropped it. Just dropped the ball.
Chargers recover. 45 seconds left.
They get a first down. They win with a field goal.

Speaker 1 I don't really know what to make of this game other than the Chargers are really beat up and they won.

Speaker 1 You could make the argument, hey, that's a gutsy win for the Chargers because they have so many injuries. They went in there, they won.

Speaker 1 And the Falcons have to be kicking themselves because that's a game they should have won. And that's before the double fumble.

Speaker 6 I think what you just said, the last like 30 seconds, perfectly encapsulates the last, I don't know, like 10 years of being both a Chargers and a Falcons fan.

Speaker 6 When I saw these two in the schedule that they were going to play each other, I was like, dear God, somebody's going to get their heart broken.

Speaker 6 That might have been the shortest spike in win probability of all time for the Falcons on that fumble recovery.

Speaker 6 I don't think that anything could encapsulate both those franchises more perfectly than that one play.

Speaker 6 The Chargers driving to win the game,

Speaker 6 heartbreaking, boneheaded mistake to give the game away.

Speaker 6 The Falcons are somehow going to end up with a chance to win this game, or at the very least, take it to overtime, and then through absolutely no action by the other team, completely self-inflicted, do something terrible to give it right back and have them figure out a new way to lose.

Speaker 1 And first down, yeah.

Speaker 6 It's perfect, Chargers-Falcons theater.

Speaker 1 It really was.

Speaker 6 Now, I think that the Chargers are still a good team. I think that

Speaker 6 if they can get healthy, I'll say it like that. Yeah.

Speaker 1 The Chargers also every Chargers season.

Speaker 6 If the Chargers can get healthy, then I think that they could win a playoff game. But it's the Chargers, they're probably not going to get healthy, so they're probably not going to win a playoff game.

Speaker 1 I'd agree with that.

Speaker 1 I still,

Speaker 1 the Chargers, something about them, I think it's because we've been force-fed the narrative that like Justin Herbert is next up and he's a very good quarterback.

Speaker 1 I'm always looking at them being like, they should be better. And they're like, well, they have this guy, this guy, this guy, this guy, this guy injured.

Speaker 1 It's like, okay, well, are they ever going to get healthy?

Speaker 1 So maybe this is the season where everyone got their injuries out of the way, and then they get to the playoffs and everyone's healthy and they're the best team.

Speaker 6 That'd be great. They might peak at the right time.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 By the way, Mahomes just made an incredible run.

Speaker 1 Titans are playing an incredible game.

Speaker 1 We'll recap all of it at the end, but just

Speaker 1 put a note in that touchdown run that Mahomes just had. So

Speaker 1 the Falcons, not only

Speaker 1 the blip in win probability,

Speaker 1 are we a little worried that this was also their blip in winning the NFC South? Because

Speaker 1 there was a moment moment there where they, you know, they had the lead going in today.

Speaker 1 If both these games were replaying at the same time, I know that they weren't. So the Falcons obviously played first and the Bucs played in the afternoon.

Speaker 1 But there was a moment where it was very, like, it felt like the Bucs were definitely going to lose.

Speaker 1 And it felt like the moment where the Falcons were going to win, and they could have had a two-game lead in the NFC South.

Speaker 1 And now the Bucs are back.

Speaker 1 They're in first in the NFC South because of the tiebreaker. Saints win Monday.

Speaker 1 they'll be tied up at first as well.

Speaker 1 It seems like this was the moment the Falcons had, and the Bucs, as bad as they've been, to be like, oh, we're in first place at 4-5, they have to just be like, holy shit, how is this possible?

Speaker 6 Yeah, it's good for the Bucs that they're there. And the concern I have as somebody that does have a future on the Falcons who win that division is we looked ahead at their schedule.

Speaker 6 And, well, me personally, I was like, they've got a pretty easy schedule.

Speaker 6 Their schedule might be hardening in front of our very eyes.

Speaker 6 It's getting harder. So they're playing the Panthers, the Commies, the Bears, and the Steelers in their next four.
It sounds pretty relatively easy.

Speaker 1 It's still pretty easy.

Speaker 6 But it's still pretty easy. But the Panthers aren't as bad as we thought they were.
They looked like dog shit today.

Speaker 1 They looked terrible.

Speaker 1 I think the Panthers might be as bad. I think they just had the...
This happens in the NFL where a team will have one or two games where they'll blip up and be like, oh, they're frisky. And

Speaker 1 I am definitely guilty of this because I think I said the Panthers were frisky and fun.

Speaker 1 And then you just, once you get a couple more games down the line and the losses start to rack up, and then it's like, you know, December and your team sucks and it's hard to get up for every game.

Speaker 1 They might not be as frisky as I thought.

Speaker 6 They might, but I think it's week to week, too. Like, if they showed up, if those Panthers showed up again, I would have to go to the next one.

Speaker 1 What a Thursday night game we've got. Incredible.
Yeah.

Speaker 6 Oh, I can't wait to actually record early.

Speaker 1 Yes, we're going to record early again with the Falcons and the Panthers play on Thursday night football.

Speaker 6 The Manderson is not that easy of an out.

Speaker 6 They could beat the Falcons. I could see that happening.

Speaker 6 The Bears could definitely beat the Fans.

Speaker 1 Our definition of a frisky team, although their defense is so bad, I think they'll lose to anyone who can put up a fight.

Speaker 6 And then the Steelers, I think, are going to have, they might have T.J. Watt back by then, right? That's true.
And then they never win without TJ, but when TJ's back,

Speaker 6 for some reason, they always win.

Speaker 1 They always win.

Speaker 6 It is a different team. That's like saying Mike Tomlins never had a team with a losing record.
They're like, TJ Watt's been on some okay to above average teams. Yeah.

Speaker 6 But he he is the kind of guy that could make a difference.

Speaker 1 So, you're agreeing that this might have been the moment, and the moment might have been.

Speaker 6 I don't necessarily think that because I think that the Bucs are legitimately bad. Yeah, I'm not buying they had one good drive at the end of this game, yeah.

Speaker 1 No, that's true. We're gonna get to it, and they did that.
That is absolutely true.

Speaker 6 I think the Bucs are bad, bad, yeah.

Speaker 1 Uh, but the Chargers feeling like they got a little reprieve. Like I said, I think they were off the pie.

Speaker 1 Just the double fumble was so perfect. I, that, the fact that that happened, and also Austin Eckler scored maybe the coolest touchdown that didn't count when he was able to keep his body up.

Speaker 1 That touchdown was so awesome, and they ruled him down with his elbow.

Speaker 1 That touchdown ruled. So it was a fun game.

Speaker 1 I felt like I was watching the whole thing and being like, there should be more points. There just weren't.

Speaker 1 And now,

Speaker 1 who knows? The Chargers, I'm going to keep thinking like, oh, they might be.

Speaker 1 I feel like they're just going to be destined to be the same Chargers where it's like they're going to finish one game out of the playoffs.

Speaker 1 And everyone's going to be like, man, if they had just made the playoffs, would have been tough. Yep.

Speaker 6 Would have been a tough player.

Speaker 1 And then next year. Next year, they're going to be the team.

Speaker 1 Everyone's healthy until their first day of OTAs. Then someone gets hurt.
And they're like, okay, well, now

Speaker 1 someone takes a step off

Speaker 1 literally out of the truck that they drove in on. And it's like, oh, our starting cornerback is now hurt.
All right, next up, Bengals Panthers. This was just a complete whomping.

Speaker 1 Joe Mixon show, five touchdowns. At halftime, he had 15

Speaker 1 carries for 113 yards, three touchdowns, four catches for 58 yards and a touchdown. So he had four touchdowns in halftime.
He finished with 211 yards and five touchdowns.

Speaker 1 Also, the Bengals in the first half had more points than the Panthers had yards. 35 to 32.

Speaker 6 Yeah, that's tough.

Speaker 6 We might be seeing the return of Baker Mayfield, though. Yeah.
Because they put him in the second half, the P.J. Walker experiment might be over.
Yep.

Speaker 1 He had a tough go.

Speaker 1 It was so fun.

Speaker 1 I love PJ Walker. I hope he plays in the NFL forever because he is fun as a spot starter.

Speaker 1 And the Bengals, again, just,

Speaker 1 if you want the surest bet in the world, it's bet the Browns against the Bengals and then bet the Bengals the next week. Oh,

Speaker 6 we should have mentioned.

Speaker 1 Totally forgot. The streak lives on.
The teams that played the Panthers lose the next week. Okay.
Because the Falcons lost. So now

Speaker 1 teams that played the Panthers are 0-8 in the game after.

Speaker 6 So now the Bengals next week are playing the Steelers at the Steelers.

Speaker 1 Oh, man, TJ Watts.

Speaker 6 Oh, well, no, it's two weeks. Okay.
So the bye week. We have the bye week and then...
Wait, Noah.

Speaker 1 Oh, okay, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 6 The bye week, and then at the Steelers on the 20th, Sunday Night Football.

Speaker 1 But it worked for the bye week when the

Speaker 1 Ford sorry, the Rams did it. So

Speaker 1 we might have to do it just out of a weird stat bet. It might be just our weird stat bet of the year.

Speaker 6 It might be.

Speaker 1 Don't even look at advanced numbers. Don't even think about matchups.
Just be like, oh, the Bengals last played the Panthers. They're going to lose the next game.

Speaker 6 Just follow the trend. Yeah.

Speaker 6 I mean, sometimes the best bets are just completely bullshit made out of thin air.

Speaker 1 All of the best bets, right?

Speaker 6 Yeah, this is Joe Mixon's career game. Yeah.
Signature game for Joe. He is.
And if there were a Heisman race, then this game...

Speaker 6 This is like when you have a guy that puts up like six touchdowns against a Division I double-A team.

Speaker 1 Did you see SMU versus Houston last night?

Speaker 6 I did. I did watch that.

Speaker 1 Tanner Mordecai for SMU had nine touchdowns. Yeah, that's his highest.
Nine touchdowns.

Speaker 6 That's what Joe Mixon did today. 22 carries, 153 yards.

Speaker 1 And it must have felt so cool going into the end zone and getting to do the one, two, three, four, five. That's the coolest thing you can do.

Speaker 6 At what point do you stop counting?

Speaker 6 Sorry, at what point do you start counting? Because I think you start. At three.
At three, you can't do two?

Speaker 1 Two, I don't think you do. Two is like you should get two.

Speaker 6 Two is like

Speaker 6 you're if you're celebrating two, you'll never get two, right?

Speaker 1 And you'll, yeah, and you definitely won't get three. Yeah, you should expect if you've if you're a two guy, like Travis Kelsey should not be celebrating two.
Yeah,

Speaker 1 so but doing five, that's got to be the coolest feeling ever. It's got to be to just count all those and be like, look, I got five, five of them.
Um, yeah, this was an absolute whomping.

Speaker 1 Also, another great call by us. We've been on a mini hot streak of picking games on the TVs, and we didn't put this one on the TV, and it was over so fast.

Speaker 6 First quarter.

Speaker 1 First quarter over.

Speaker 1 Just completely done. So, credit to the Bengals.
They're back.

Speaker 6 Yeah, again, Thursday night football, Bengals, Panthers.

Speaker 1 This is... Panthers, Falcons.
Sorry, Panthers, Falcons.

Speaker 6 Thursday night football.

Speaker 6 If you must do an activity on Thursday night this entire season, I feel like this is probably the one, right?

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 6 If you have any brownie points you need to accumulate, any recitals you have to go to.

Speaker 1 This is, yeah, this is like, oh, yeah,

Speaker 1 let's go out to dinner tonight. I thought Thursday Night Football's on.
Nah.

Speaker 1 You know what?

Speaker 6 I'll skip this football. You know what? I love you so much, babe, that I don't want to watch football.

Speaker 1 Yeah, actually,

Speaker 1 yeah, it's Chiefs Bills. They're playing again, but I don't want to watch it.
It's fine. We don't have to watch this one.
Yep. That's the way to do it.
By the way, just a note on the

Speaker 1 after Panthers game stat, we actually will have

Speaker 1 before Bengals Steelers play Monday night football, the Bears play the Falcons uh on that Sunday so we'll know so if the Bears beat the Falcons then you have to hammer the Steelers versus the Bengals yep and that was betting advice given to you by PMT that's the soundest betting advice you can get um all right next up Jaguars Raiders

Speaker 1 the Raiders this was a mean stat and also a meaner picture because Josh McDaniel says maybe put on a little bit of weight uh it happens when you live in Vegas the buffets everything to win um going to hawkinson T.J.

Speaker 1 Hawkinson, yeah, like just living it up.

Speaker 1 The Raiders, in their franchise history from 1960 to 2021, they have blown five 17-point leads. In the first eight games this year, they've blown three 17-point leads.
Josh McDaniels,

Speaker 1 he could have just kept on coaching forever as an offensive coordinator at the Patriots. He never would have been ready to be a head coach.

Speaker 1 And we all thought enough time had passed since the Tebow Broncos.

Speaker 1 And And this is the rare, the Raiders would have been better off if they had just hired Rich Bisacea, and the Patriots would have been way better off if they had just somehow kept Josh McDaniels.

Speaker 6 Yeah, so Josh McDaniels right now

Speaker 6 means that Josh McDaniels has the worst record among all active head coaches. Oof.

Speaker 1 Oof.

Speaker 6 Pretty bad.

Speaker 1 And Dan Campbell went 3-13 last year.

Speaker 6 And if you were to subtract those six games that they got off to the hot start, when, as his former team said, we were cheating. That's why we won when we were on the Broncos.

Speaker 6 His record is now, I believe, 7-23 in non-cheating games.

Speaker 6 So 13-23 overall. And the 17-point come-from-behind victory for the Jaguars, if it's not so bad looking at

Speaker 6 on the Raiders' side, where you see that, oh, it's been done three times this year compared to the rest of their history.

Speaker 6 On the other side, from the other perspective, the Jaguars are 1-116 when falling behind by 17 yards.

Speaker 1 So it's a reverse bad stat.

Speaker 6 It's a reverse bad stat as well. Holy shit.
So it's pretty, you picked the one team that you couldn't do this to, and you did it to him, and you did it hard.

Speaker 6 So also, this is a weird stat. The Raiders hadn't allowed a 100-yard rusher or receiver until today.
Whoa.

Speaker 1 Despite how bad they were.

Speaker 6 And Travis Atien barely got it.

Speaker 1 That is a loser stat.

Speaker 6 They've just been allowing like three 90-yard receivers.

Speaker 1 Everyone gets the.

Speaker 6 But they've been able to, they take away your best option. Yeah.
And they limit that person to 99 yards.

Speaker 6 I actually think that when they played against the Saints, I feel like Kamara had like 97 yards rushing and like 96 yards receiving in that game. So it doesn't really mean that much.

Speaker 6 But also, Trevor Lawrence recorded his third game with a completion percentage of 80 plus percent, tying Mark Brunel and David Girard for the most in the history of the franchise.

Speaker 1 Oh, I have another one. I have another franchise record.
Okay. That's very fun for the Jaguars.
I've got one too, yeah. Doug Peterson today with his third win, he's three and six with the Jaguars.

Speaker 1 He is now in sole possession as the fifth winningest head coach in Jaguars history.

Speaker 6 Yeah, he passed Urban Meyer today.

Speaker 1 He passed Urban Meyer, Mel Tucker, and Mike Malarkey, who all have two wins. That's pretty cool.
Yeah, it's incredible. That's pretty cool.
Great job, Doug. He's fifth all time with three wins.

Speaker 1 Yeah, Trevor Lawrence did play well today. Like, this is...

Speaker 1 We have to just keep reminding ourselves not to overreact, even though I'm overreacting to everything Justin Fields does, hand up. But Trevor Lawrence played well today.
So credit to him.

Speaker 1 Beat the Raiders. And Travis Etienne is awesome.

Speaker 1 It's so stupid. It's actually very similar to why didn't the Bears just run the offense that works for Justin Fields?

Speaker 1 The fact that the Jaguars had to trade away James Robinson to realize, oh, this guy we spent a first-round draft pick on turns out he's electric. Maybe we should run him more.

Speaker 6 I think it's because he still had that stink of Urban on him. Yeah.
Where like the new

Speaker 6 committee comes in and they're like, I don't know if we we should really be giving this ball.

Speaker 6 This guy was scouted by Urban Meyer and he's stunk out loud. So how much do we trust him? He's awesome.
And

Speaker 6 I saw the duck foot on ATN today. Did you see that? Yeah.

Speaker 9 Yeah.

Speaker 6 He had a couple really long runs where his feet, which they point out at about 45-degree angles. It's crazy.
Watch his feet when he runs.

Speaker 6 He's able to change directions faster because his foot is already pointing a little bit off to the side.

Speaker 6 It actually does work.

Speaker 1 That's insane. I mean, who would have thought that that would help someone be a better runner in the NFL?

Speaker 6 He said, it's something I was born with. I've always walked kind of duck-footed.

Speaker 1 There it is. And he's an electric running back for it.

Speaker 1 I also just, Derek Carr and Devontae Adams are like the biggest tease ever. They came out, just lit it up in the first half, 146 yards, two touchdowns between the two of them.

Speaker 1 And second half, one catch, zero yards.

Speaker 1 They just, I feel like the Raiders are the ultimate T's team this year, where it's, it's, they will show flashes, and you'll be like, basically, next time they play the Chiefs, they'll get up for that game, and you'll be like, why doesn't this work?

Speaker 1 And then they'll play anyone else, name any other team, and you'll be like, oh, yeah, they suck. They fucking suck.

Speaker 6 Yeah, so in that game where the Cardinals came back at them in the fourth quarter and won that game in Las Vegas, turns out both teams sucked. Yeah.
And so the Raiders just sucked a little bit more.

Speaker 1 Yes, that is absolutely true. Yeah, we're finding out.
We're at the point of the season where

Speaker 1 the aberrations, we're like, oh, yeah, that was weird. That game was weird.
The Cardinals played pretty bad or the Raiders played. No, no, no, those teams suck.
They suck.

Speaker 1 And that's just what they are.

Speaker 6 And we're about to find out which son from succession Mark Davis was in the Al Davis chain of things. Yeah.
Like, how cutthroat are you, Mark?

Speaker 6 Because if I was Mark Davis, I would be sick of this guy taking my money. Yes.
And I would fire him during the year.

Speaker 1 Yes, yes. And he's...

Speaker 1 But the thing is, I think Mark Davis is like the poorest NFL owner.

Speaker 6 Is he like Greg the Egg?

Speaker 1 I'm pretty sure.

Speaker 1 Now, this is

Speaker 1 maybe a stat that I, you're right.

Speaker 1 This might be a fake stat, but I'm pretty sure when they hired John Gruden, they had to put all his money in escrow because John Gruden was like, I don't think you have this.

Speaker 1 Well, yeah, I don't think you have 100 million.

Speaker 6 He's not that liquid. Yeah.
And the weird thing is, when I think it's his, is it his mom? Yeah, his mom. When his mom, she's an older lady, when she's no longer with us,

Speaker 6 the franchise goes to Mark Davis.

Speaker 6 When it goes to mark davis if you're a billionaire inheriting like a billion dollars worth of things you have to pay the inheritance tax yeah florio taught us which is going to be like 30 percent and you have to come up with that in cash it's not like you can take out a line of credit against your own franchise that you own and be like my i own a franchise that's worth four billion dollars can a bank give me a loan against that right so i can pay the the government you have to come up with that money right now so he won't be able to do that bill you're giving us a face i want to do this bill i would love i would love to debate tax levels Dive in.

Speaker 1 No, no, no.

Speaker 4 Are we sure that his mother is alive or dead?

Speaker 1 No, she's alive.

Speaker 4 Is it like a hotel?

Speaker 10 What's the

Speaker 1 weekend of Bernie? Carol Davis for Wanda? Carol Davis is very much alive.

Speaker 6 Who is the Hutu in this situation? She is saying 90.

Speaker 1 Oh, I love this. Weekend at Bernie's.

Speaker 1 It's actually goes to Billy's point. I just looked her up.
She's 91 slash 92 years old. Okay.
So we don't really know when her birthday was. Mark Davis would definitely.

Speaker 4 It's Psycho, right? The movie where the brothers

Speaker 1 are doing well for her because the two, I just searched her. She's 91 slash 92 years old.
And the first picture that comes up is Mark Davis standing over her while she's in a wheelchair.

Speaker 1 That's those aren't great signs of like Norman doing well. It's not good.

Speaker 6 Markov probably breathed a sigh of relief when Castellanos flied out at the end of the World Series.

Speaker 1 Like, finally, we got a whole offseason. We don't have to worry about this guy.

Speaker 1 Yeah, so

Speaker 1 Josh McDaniels, wow, it's bad.

Speaker 6 The bottom line is he should be fired.

Speaker 1 I saw a funny meme from the Raiders, one of those Raiders' meme accounts said, breaking news, Josh McDaniels has tested positive for ruining a playoff team. That's good.

Speaker 1 I like that. That's a solid game.
It gave me a little chuckle. That's some good NFL humor, you know? That is.
Like some old school NFL memes humor.

Speaker 1 I just needed that.

Speaker 6 Give me some, like, bring back some Chuck Norris memes. You remember those?

Speaker 1 Remember when they did that.

Speaker 6 It's been a while since we've had a good Chuck Norris meme come up.

Speaker 1 Remember when Bleach Report used to do like the text messages between quarterbacks? Oh yeah. Or like

Speaker 1 chat? That was hot for a while.

Speaker 1 And it'd just be like Eli, like it would be every, every text message between quarterbacks meme would just be leading up to Tom Brady texting something and Eli being like, I took two rings from you.

Speaker 1 And that was the joke. That was the end of the joke.
There was a bunch of quarterbacks texting and they'd just get to that every time. Yeah.

Speaker 14 All protein bars generally taste the same, but not one bars. One made protein bars are actually delicious with Reese's and Hershey's.

Speaker 14 Only one Reese's Peanut Butter Lover's protein bar is made with Reese's peanut butter, and only one Hershey's cookies and cream protein bars is made with Hershey's cookie bits while delivering 18 grams of protein and 3 grams of sugar.

Speaker 14 Find all one bars at a retailer near you or on amazon.com.

Speaker 1 Okay, so I got a quick stat from our guy Stat Hole mid-game. Four games today on Sunday have been stuck at 17-17.
That's pretty cool. That's pretty wild.

Speaker 10 We called that out during

Speaker 1 that there were three. Yeah, yeah.
Now this is the fourth.

Speaker 1 And then Malik Willis has

Speaker 1 three completions to a tight end, two to running back, zero to a wide receiver. He's doing an homage to Alex Smith Chiefs on his field.
Yeah.

Speaker 6 That was incredible. He went like, what was it, like 19 weeks without throwing a touchdown? He was insane to a wide receiver.

Speaker 1 An insane streak. Okay, so let's do the last two games.
Then we will talk about this game. I think it's going to go to overtime.
Yeah, it feels like overtime.

Speaker 1 Seahawks 31, Cardinals 21.

Speaker 1 I know that everyone's going to make this, the Cardinals just suck, but the Seahawks are a good team. They are a good team.
Yeah, like there's no fluke.

Speaker 1 Pete Carroll should be absolutely in consideration for Coach of the Year because they traded away their franchise quarterback. Everyone picked him to be one of the worst teams in the NFL.

Speaker 1 They're now 6-3.

Speaker 1 Just swept the Cardinals.

Speaker 1 And it basically was Pete Carroll showing Cliff Kingsbury how to coach. Because

Speaker 1 Pete Carroll came in this year and it was supposed to be a rebuilding year. And he's made this team very, very good, and they're playing great ball.

Speaker 1 And Cliff Kingsbury has, you know, a lot of guys, a lot of all-star roster type of guys, and they suck.

Speaker 6 They're really, really bad. The game could have turned at the end of the first half, though, when Kyler Murray scrambled for this little cute, little adorable first down.
Wait,

Speaker 6 five seconds left? That's too much time for Patrick Martin.

Speaker 1 Too much time for Patrick Martin. On their own 40, he could slam.
Yeah, too much time for Harrison Bucker.

Speaker 1 He's got a leg on him. Yeah.
He missed an extra point.

Speaker 6 Yeah, but that's the Chiefs always do that. The Chiefs always love to miss extra points.

Speaker 1 Yes. So, yeah.

Speaker 6 So, Kyler Murray scrambles for a first down.

Speaker 6 Probably we're going to get at least three points out of that at the end of the first half, if not a touchdown. And then I forget who it was on the Seahawks.

Speaker 6 Somebody just like snuck up behind him and just kind of booped the ball out.

Speaker 1 It was very cute. And it was the cutest fumble ever.

Speaker 6 It was a cute little scramble. It was adorable.
And he booped it out. The Seahawks got it.
It was like the Seahawks,

Speaker 6 they do all the tiny little things correctly. Right.

Speaker 1 And the Cardinals don't.

Speaker 6 And And the Cardinals don't. Like, Cardinals and Kyler Murray a huge extension, which I have to imagine that most Cardinals fans are like, why?

Speaker 1 Why?

Speaker 6 We're married to this guy. Yeah, it's that.

Speaker 1 And it's also Steve Keim and Cliff Kingsbury getting contracts through 2027, which obviously they can just fire him. But the Cardinals are just, they had 12 penalties.
They're a poorly coached team.

Speaker 1 You had Kyler Murray yelling at DeAndre Hopkins on the sideline now. I don't know how Cliff Kingsbury is still coaching this team.

Speaker 1 They are are 10 and 19 in home games under Cliff Kingsbury, and they are 6-27-1 when down at half.

Speaker 1 I mean, we've talked about this at length, but he's always shown that he's a mediocre coach, and he's just showing that, again, even this is not even mediocre. This is bad.

Speaker 1 Too much time for Patrick McColmost time. Three seconds.

Speaker 6 Timeout, three seconds left. Are they going to go Bucker?

Speaker 1 This would be

Speaker 1 cool.

Speaker 6 Dude, he had five seconds left on the clock.

Speaker 1 78-yard field. Why not, Jake? Is it? Yeah.
They're on their own 40. No, I thought they were on the 50.
No, no, no.

Speaker 1 They're going to throw a Hail Mary.

Speaker 1 Yeah. Which is also going to be cool to watch.

Speaker 6 So here's what's going to happen. Ready? PFT Noser Damas.
Yep. Hail Mary.
Yep. Refs throw flag for Passer Fields.

Speaker 1 No.

Speaker 6 They love Patrick Mahomes.

Speaker 6 He got like... He's getting every flag in this game.

Speaker 1 I think they're not even. Do you think they're going to throw a Hail Mary? They're going to do like a hook and ladder type play.
That's why they're going to play.

Speaker 1 Yep, here comes the hook and ladder play. Rugby, run the rugby rugby play.

Speaker 4 That's why Kelsey dropped.

Speaker 10 35, 30. Hardman cuts to his right and is tackled at the 20.

Speaker 1 They're in field goal range now.

Speaker 1 No time on the clock. They are.
Overtime. All right.

Speaker 6 You know what? I think that play was. I think that was, let's run this play.
And Miko, stick your head as close to their hands as possible. Try to get a face mask one on time down.

Speaker 1 Yeah, just put your hands in their face.

Speaker 6 Yeah, try real hard. Like, try to swing your face mask onto their fingers.

Speaker 1 It's like a dog looking for a scratch on its, its like under its chin yeah yeah just get it right in there uh okay so

Speaker 1 i keep saying it but we will we will eventually get to the this game once once it goes final the seahawks

Speaker 1 i just like the seahawks i don't know why maybe it's because russell wilson is just not on the team anymore but they look like they're they're fun kenneth walker is an absolute beast kenneth walker has in the last five games since he started being like actually featured has 512 yards and seven touchdowns yeah just he's the only running back that I actually like when they wear a single-digit number.

Speaker 6 Yeah. All the other ones I look at to a certain extent, and I'm like, that doesn't look natural.

Speaker 1 And I just, I don't know why, but I just like that he goes by Kenneth. Yeah, Kenneth is good.
Yeah, like Ken Walker. I don't know if I would feel the same way about him.

Speaker 6 It could also switch to Kenny.

Speaker 1 He can become a Kenny. Kenny Walker, but he's Kenneth Walker the third.
Yeah. It's a very official name.
It is. But he was awesome.

Speaker 1 Geno, credit to Geno because Geno threw a bad pick six and then came back and was like very, very good after that. So it was a bounce back.

Speaker 1 Those are the moments that you're like, uh-oh, is this going to...

Speaker 1 Because I think even though the Seahawks are for real and it's not a fluke, they're still in the back of your head like, oh, oh, no, is this like when Geno starts to crumble? And he didn't.

Speaker 1 He didn't crumble. He came back.
He played well. And the Seahawks,

Speaker 1 their defense is playing well. They've held their last four opponents under 300 yards.
I can't say enough nice things about the Seahawks.

Speaker 1 I like the Seahawks.

Speaker 1 I don't want to say I'm rooting for the Seahawks, but I am

Speaker 1 kind of

Speaker 6 rooting for the Seahawks.

Speaker 6 If two teams get in from the NFC West, I would want it to be the 49ers and the Seahawks and the Seahawks.

Speaker 1 Yeah, because

Speaker 1 a whole playoff game for the Seahawks would be awesome.

Speaker 6 They're a very likable team. I don't think that there's any good reasons out there not to root for the Seahawks.
What have the Seahawks ever done to anybody?

Speaker 1 Yeah, and it's crazy to think that this game that's coming up on Sunday in Germany, Seahawks Bucs, before the season started, you would have just been like, you would have bet your life on the Bucs being the better team.

Speaker 1 Yeah. Whose line is it anyway?

Speaker 6 Yeah,

Speaker 6 what does the German spread mean?

Speaker 1 Who's got a game?

Speaker 1 I think that might be a pick'em. That's Giselle.
I think it could be a Pick'em.

Speaker 6 I think it's going to be the Bucs

Speaker 6 minus three.

Speaker 1 Whose line is it anyway?

Speaker 10 Bucs minus one.

Speaker 1 Oh,

Speaker 1 close to a pick'em.

Speaker 1 I have cleansed myself of the Bucs bets because I won today. So I'm done.
I'm going to take the Seahawks. I think I'm going to bet the Seahawks every week.
They were underdogs in this game.

Speaker 1 The Cardinals are bad.

Speaker 1 They're just a bad football team. Everything about them is bad.
Kyler's stats kind of look good. And then it's the eyeball test.

Speaker 1 If you watch the Cardinals, they will have a drive that looks good, and then they'll have five, three, and outs in a row.

Speaker 6 Yeah, you know how we had the Giants and the Seahawks last week? It was like these are two teams that nobody thought would be good.

Speaker 6 That's kind of what we're going to look at towards the end of the season when they played the Jets. That's going to be really weird when both these teams are like nine wins

Speaker 6 going at each other. I'm not going to know what to think with those uniforms being good.

Speaker 1 That's a good point. Like that game, that game will be heavy playoff implications.
Yep.

Speaker 1 Only other stat I had was Seahawks have forced 16 fumbles this year. That's a lot.
I think the record's 30. So that's they're halfway there.

Speaker 1 And it's, I mean, that's a shitload of fumbles they're forced. forced to.
Did they play the Colts? They did not play the Colts.

Speaker 6 That would be a good way to boost.

Speaker 1 That would have been nice.

Speaker 1 Yeah, if you actually look into the deep numbers, it's like they have nine fumbles against the Colts.

Speaker 6 Who is helping the Seahawks draft right now? Because whoever it is is doing a great job. Yeah.
Fantastic job. They just find so it's Woolen, Tariq Woolen.
Yeah. I just looked it up.
The cornerback.

Speaker 6 I think he's got four interceptions.

Speaker 1 And he's been like no one's throwing to him. Daniel Jones last week just didn't throw to him the entire game.

Speaker 6 Winner team's going to stop throwing at Sauce. And then we have to do like an evaluation of is he not putting up stats because he just doesn't get thrown at him.

Speaker 1 Right, we're not saying his name enough.

Speaker 6 That's too deep of a conversation for most people that vote on these awards to actually end up having.

Speaker 1 But no, but then that can be rectified by one simple graphic lost in the sauce, and it just shows passes attempted towards sauce.

Speaker 6 It's actually gravy when he's in New Jersey.

Speaker 1 Yes, yes, Sunday gravy. And it's, yeah,

Speaker 1 it will just say like one pass a game thrown his way. Yes.
And that's a new way of saying how incredible he is.

Speaker 6 Or if one of these guys just calls it their island. Like if it's Tariq Island.

Speaker 1 Sauce Island.

Speaker 6 Sauce Island. That's.

Speaker 1 I don't know if that works. Yeah, that might not work.

Speaker 1 Okay, let's do our last game.

Speaker 6 Seahawks are good.

Speaker 1 I just want to keep saying it. Seahawks are fucking good.
Because there is a feeling that it's just a fluke and it's not. They're good.

Speaker 9 Whether I'm hosting game day at my place or taking my talents to the tailgate, Boarshead is my go-to for a spread that's as exciting as the game itself. Their platters are a hit every time.

Speaker 9 They've got everything you need to keep your guests coming back for more. And if you want to take it up a notch, grab a few dips.

Speaker 9 My personal favorite, the blazing buffalo chicken, hummus, or even one of their charcuterie collections for game-changing flavor.

Speaker 9 Boarshead helps me elevate my entertaining every time, whether it's for a tailgate or a home gating celebration.

Speaker 9 To upgrade your spread, visit your local Boarshead deli for platter options or build your own to make it perfect for your crowd. Boarshead, committed to craft since 1905.

Speaker 1 Bucks, 16. Rams, 13.

Speaker 1 Tom Brady does it again. Tom Brady does it again.

Speaker 6 Great job.

Speaker 1 Or Bucks are back. Or, alternate, why the fuck did the Rams play prevent defense at the end of that game?

Speaker 6 It was so weird because Aaron Donald was just

Speaker 6 eating Tom Brady for lunch the entire game.

Speaker 1 They were dominating him.

Speaker 1 And the Rams defense was just, they couldn't do anything offensively, nothing offensively and then at the end of the game Tom Brady just finds guys in the middle of these holes and gets like two completions of 20 yards and next thing you know they're going at the end zone and it wasn't even yeah it was like they were leaving the sideline open too which made no sense because they didn't have enough they didn't have time it was it was crazy the bucks and this was one of those i think i've told this before but um our friend of the program recurring guest bill burr probably like three times a year he'll text me or call me just to to bitch about football and we've asked him on this show why and he's like well i just know you're watching the games.

Speaker 1 I don't have like a lot of friends I know are watching the games. He started texting me like motherfucking pre-vent defense, which was so funny out of nowhere.
I haven't talked to him in eight months.

Speaker 1 And he was just like, this fucking pre-vent defense is bullshit. And I was like, yeah, you know what? You're right.
It doesn't work.

Speaker 1 The Bucs had five three and outs, two turnovers on downs, 0-2 in the red zone. Two

Speaker 1 three field goals. They couldn't do anything.
They couldn't score with a million plays.

Speaker 1 And then at the end of the game, they're like, yeah, let's play soft coverage on all these wide receivers and let them march down the field. Tom Brady, 44 seconds.

Speaker 1 It's his 55th game-winning drive, which passes Peyton Manning all time, which is stupid to just say he has three and a half seasons worth of game-winning drives. It's just a ridiculous thing.
Yeah,

Speaker 6 it is dumb, and this is a dumb win. And I'm...

Speaker 6 I'm not counting this as a win even for the Bucs. That's fair.
I think that this is really...

Speaker 1 They're a bad team. They've lost this game.

Speaker 6 They've figured out many ways to lose this game. The Rams, they're just fucking idiots.
The Rams are just fucking morons.

Speaker 6 Sean McVay has become a fucking idiot, and he's probably going to leave his team at the end of the year. As Hank so eloquently put it, bad sports coach.
Yep. He's going to leave his team in cap hell.

Speaker 6 They're not going to have any draft picks. Fuck them picks.
Sean McVay

Speaker 6 blew this, absolutely blew this for his team at the end of this game.

Speaker 6 Tom Brady walked into his post-game press conference acting like the weight of the world was off his shoulders because he managed to squeak out a shitty win at the end of his show.

Speaker 6 Against a shitty team. Against a shitty team with like shitty players on his own team.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 And it's, I'm not counting it as a win. It's, it's also, every single Bucs game looks exactly the same where it's like

Speaker 1 we just see Mike Evans. Oh my God, what a catch by the Chiefs.
We see Mike Evans and Tom Brady just never on the same page. We just see like third downs where

Speaker 1 passes are just like, you know, skipping in front of receivers. They can't score in the red zone.
They can't do anything offensively. They're just a shitty team.
And it's tough to watch.

Speaker 1 It's tough to watch them.

Speaker 1 But they did win. So I'll count it as a half a win.

Speaker 6 If they had won with a full steam ahead, Mike Evans, I would count it as a full win. But Mike Evans, I think he's got like a shoulder injury.

Speaker 6 It looks bad. It's sad to watch.
I think we finally reached the point, though,

Speaker 6 with both the Bay teams where we can look at them and say

Speaker 6 these teams are bad.

Speaker 6 Actual bad teams.

Speaker 6 They're the polar opposite of the Jets and the Seahawks right now, which is we need to finally reach the point where we say that they are good teams.

Speaker 6 We need to accept the fact they're bad. They're probably not going to do anything big this season.

Speaker 1 No, and yeah, I mean, the Bucs can, obviously, the Packers are in a different spot because they're four and a half games out of first place. The Bucs are in first place at four and five.

Speaker 6 How weird would that be if

Speaker 6 the Bucs make the playoffs at like eight and nine? Eight and nine. Yeah.
And then they just go on a little run. It would be pretty fun.

Speaker 6 Tom Brady gets some of that, like, and then they get to the Super Bowl. Tom Brady walks away from football at halftime to go be with his family.

Speaker 1 Oh, wow.

Speaker 6 They get back together. That's special.

Speaker 1 Happily. And then Kyle Trask takes him to

Speaker 1 a new king is anointed. Yes.
Kyle Trask. Kyle Trask wins the Super Super Super Supplement.
Or is the Blaine Train?

Speaker 6 It could be both.

Speaker 1 Yeah, Blaine Gabbert.

Speaker 6 We can go Wildcat with Trask and have Blaine lined up at receiver.

Speaker 1 The Blaine train winning a Super Bowl would be be incredible it would be awesome oh my god that would be incredible but um uh oh I wanted to mention the Rams are so sad and these reports that are coming out about Les Snead like begging to trade away his draft picks it's almost like the entire league has realized he has a problem like he's a drug addict calling he's like I'll give you two first rounders for for Brian Burns

Speaker 1 like I'll give you I'll give you four picks for Christian McCaffrey and everyone's turning him down because they're like dude you got you got a problem like you you're going to need to keep these draft picks eventually.

Speaker 1 And they're essentially just not doing any of these trades, which on paper, like,

Speaker 1 why didn't the Panthers do that trade? I think they actually just feel bad for him. And at this point, I think they also wanted to trade a first-rounder for DJ Moore.
He's trying to trade every pick

Speaker 1 just to salvage this season, which they should just look at it and be like, hey, we're not that good. And our offensive line is in shambles.
And other than Cooper Cup, like

Speaker 1 the five or six plays that Cooper Cup makes every game, they're just not a good team and not a fun team to watch.

Speaker 6 And the big story coming to this game was that Sean McVay had finally made his peace with Cam Akers. Oh.
And so he'd humbled himself, said all the right things.

Speaker 1 He was just

Speaker 6 Cam Akers, and Cam was going to get a heavier workload in this game. He had five carries for three yards.
Nice.

Speaker 1 That's a Cam Akers statue.

Speaker 6 With a long of two.

Speaker 1 Wow. Today.

Speaker 1 He almost broke that one.

Speaker 6 So he almost broke. You got to to keep feeding can

Speaker 6 i think honestly i think i could get five carries for three yards yeah i do too i think i could i do too i think that's exactly what maybe not with the rams offensive line uh well should i be playing against the d the tave would just sit on you

Speaker 1 once and you'd be like okay so all right let's talk about this game right now that's going on the chiefs are some why are they going for it on fourth and one kick a field goal it's overtime oh because i guess then the the titans could then kick a field goal so the chiefs just can only

Speaker 1 fourth and one.

Speaker 1 Fourth and one.

Speaker 6 They're insane for doing that.

Speaker 1 They are, but with the rules, I guess they were like, hey, we don't trust our defense. Let's talk about.
Oh, last thing about the Bucs Rams.

Speaker 6 I just want to say, if they don't get that,

Speaker 1 we would kill Andy Reid. Yes, we would.
Bobby Wagner did the Bobby Wagner thing where he jumped over the center. That was awesome.
Oh, yeah.

Speaker 1 That is the Bobby Wagner play. He's done it multiple times.

Speaker 6 Well, they changed the rules to make it impossible to do.

Speaker 1 Right.

Speaker 6 And he still does it. It's like the anti-Bobby Wagner rule where you have to be totally still.
You can't get like a running start to do it.

Speaker 6 You have to go up in the air and come down without touching anybody. Touching anyone.
In the first place.

Speaker 6 It's just about impossible. It's like him and Tyreek Hill could probably do a backflip over the line and do it.
Yeah. But that's about it.

Speaker 1 All right. So Rams, or sorry, Chiefs, Titans.
This game. Right now, there's four minutes left in overtime, and the Chiefs have second down and like 10 on the 15-yard line.
This game has been awesome.

Speaker 1 The Titans

Speaker 1 have been all over the Chiefs. Like, they have been in the backfield all night.
They've been, the only plays that the Chiefs have been able to make is Patrick Mahomes scrambles.

Speaker 1 He, on the touchdown drive, he was just scrambling left and right. He scrambled for a touchdown, which is an incredible play.
He scrambled for the two-point conversion. I'm impressed by the Titans.

Speaker 6 I think sometimes teams just match up well against other teams. The Titans tend to do that with the Chiefs.
A.G. Brown just tweeted out, nobody's getting open a second ago.

Speaker 6 So he's actively roasting the Titans' receiving core online right now. Also, people will say that Patrick Mahomes gets a lot of calls.
He does.

Speaker 6 Patrick Mahomes does get a lot of calls because you know why?

Speaker 6 He's Patrick Mahomes, and he's so good that anytime something doesn't happen in his favor, referees in the back of their heads are like, well, it's Patrick Mahomes.

Speaker 6 He just did that. Something probably went wrong illegally.

Speaker 1 Yes, and

Speaker 1 the Titans also, like, you can tell how jacked up they are for this game. They showed that highlight of a big tackle on a kickoff, and the entire team came out to meet meet the guy who tackled them.

Speaker 1 There's something that Rabel has done to get this team pumped up for this game to a different level. They're playing with such a crazy edge in this game.

Speaker 6 What's Vrabel doing before games now? You know how, like, over the last couple of years, he would do the stairs, run up and down the stadium. He would plank on the sidelines before games.

Speaker 6 Is he like actually getting into fights with guys?

Speaker 6 It feels like it. The old Henderson clip, like slapping dudes in the face, getting them ready? Because, yes, they've been.

Speaker 6 I almost feel like the Titans like going up against teams like this where they say they get too cute with it. We can just punch them in the mouth and they won't punch back.

Speaker 1 Yeah, let's just fuck them up and let's just be more manly than that.

Speaker 6 If this was a fight, the Titans would beat the fuck out of the Chiefs. Yes, yes.

Speaker 1 That's an absolute fact. All right, so the Chiefs are now trying to kick a field goal, which means the Titans will also have the ball, which is this game is never going to end, which I'm fine with.

Speaker 1 It's been a fun watch. It's been a fun watch.

Speaker 6 Tractor Sito, does he get stronger as the game goes into overtime?

Speaker 1 Yeah, well, Malik Willis, they're going to probably be in a position where they're going to have to pass at some point, right? Maybe. Maybe.
What are you going to say, Billy?

Speaker 1 The over is almost in play. 46.
Nope.

Speaker 4 Because if then the Titans kick a field goal.

Speaker 1 Oh. And the Chiefs get a field.
A push.

Speaker 1 I'll push.

Speaker 10 We both have 46 and a half.

Speaker 1 Okay, so it's no current.

Speaker 6 But it's almost in play. Billy was right.
It was.

Speaker 1 Oh, push was almost in play if it was 46.

Speaker 4 Oh, they don't kick the extra point.

Speaker 1 They don't kick the extra point.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 6 They should kick the extra point.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 They should always kick the extra point.

Speaker 6 Remember how sad some of those extra points would be when teams would be like in the tunnel, in the locker room, and they'd have to come out to play defense on the extra point?

Speaker 1 Yes. Yes.
These are the best. All right.
Let's do Football Guy of the Week real quick. And then, again, this game is just never going to end.
I feel like I've said it a million times.

Speaker 1 But I would like to talk about the ending, although Mahomes, his running has just been insane tonight. Billy, Football Guys of the Week.

Speaker 4 Shout out Lane Kiffin for winning last week's

Speaker 1 Go ahead, sorry.

Speaker 4 For yelling at the player.

Speaker 1 What's going on? No, I was going to say I have one that if you miss, I'm going to be upset. Okay.
No pressure.

Speaker 1 A little bit of pressure. A little bit of pressure.
But I have one that if you miss, you're not doing your job.

Speaker 1 Uh-oh.

Speaker 4 Is it Ken Dorsey? Nope.

Speaker 1 Okay, good.

Speaker 1 Oh, what did Ken Dorsey do?

Speaker 4 He just walked around the field like a psychopath before the game.

Speaker 1 Nope.

Speaker 4 He's totally not a psychopath.

Speaker 6 think he'll never recover from that.

Speaker 1 I think you have it. I think you have it.

Speaker 1 Okay.

Speaker 1 It's not a high school football player.

Speaker 4 Well, there is one.

Speaker 1 So there we go. You got three chances.
Mike Leach. Yes, there it is.
Okay.

Speaker 1 I was just, I saw it last night and I was like, holy shit, this is so funny. Billy better have this.

Speaker 4 Mike Leach, a couple weeks ago, was complaining about his wide receivers not catching balls. Said that they were like T-Rexes with tiny arms because they're not using their hands to catch.

Speaker 4 They're going to evolve into creatures that don't use arms, like T-Rex. So, because of that, he took away their seats on the sidelines.

Speaker 1 Did you see this clip?

Speaker 1 I did see it.

Speaker 6 So, I'm curious why taking away seats would make their arms grow longer.

Speaker 1 I don't know, but it was just, it was such a football guy move because he walked over to the chairs and just folded them up and threw them down one by one. It was like, fuck this.

Speaker 1 You guys don't get to sit.

Speaker 6 You got to earn the right to sit.

Speaker 1 Mikey. It's so great.

Speaker 1 It was great because it was him doing it. You know what I mean?

Speaker 1 And he didn't have an assistant coach do it. He's like, no, I'm going to take these seats away.
Personally.

Speaker 4 Good pick. Our second nominee is a kid at the UNC Virginia game who was just doing, there was a, I guess in Virginia, there's a whole hill where you can watch the games from.

Speaker 4 And the hill had gotten wet, and he was just doing mudslides, shirtless.

Speaker 1 The entire game? The entire game. Okay.
That's cool.

Speaker 6 That guy, I understand why you want to talk about him. We should make a separate category for Football Bro of the Week.

Speaker 1 That is for a while. It was a kid.
Oh, it's a kid. Oh, it's a little kid, okay.
In fan art, painted up.

Speaker 4 Okay.

Speaker 4 He was just sliding down the hill.

Speaker 1 All right. That's cool.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 Good for him.

Speaker 4 Got to include the fans. The youngsters.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 This is the most football guy, football guy I've heard in a long time.

Speaker 4 Here we go. So in Sandusky, Ohio,

Speaker 4 a

Speaker 1 remember when we went there? Disavow. Yeah.
And we bowled? Yeah. And we went to that indoor water park that was...
That was quite something. Yeah.

Speaker 1 And that clip, the famous clip of my legs coming out of the water slide with the screen.

Speaker 1 Yeah, that was a good night.

Speaker 6 So

Speaker 4 two teams were playing, Huron and Coldwater, and Huron was up by three going to the half.

Speaker 4 And a senior quarterback who had broken his legs two weeks prior said, Coach, I don't care that my leg's broken. He had just gotten screws into it.

Speaker 4 Went into the game, brought the team back to win 14-3 on a broken leg. So, Marcel Blassing game.

Speaker 1 Broken leg. Incredible.
That's also

Speaker 1 football idiot of the week. But yes, that's football.
Listen, the good Lord gave you two legs for a reason.

Speaker 4 He was a senior. He wasn't going to play anymore.
His doctor cleared him, but didn't think the coach would actually put him back in. He thought he was just going to suit up.

Speaker 4 But then the coach actually put him in, and they won.

Speaker 1 So

Speaker 6 his doctor cleared him to wear a football uniform.

Speaker 4 Yeah, so like he could be on the sideline. Yeah.
Like just so, you know, one of his last games.

Speaker 4 But then he ended up in the game.

Speaker 6 Pirate Left Witch.

Speaker 1 That's pretty awesome. Yeah, that is pretty awesome.

Speaker 4 Your last football guy of the week nominee is Ben Chase. Ben Chase has attended 39 college football games this season.
He's been traveling across America attending college football games.

Speaker 4 In the Bowling Green game this weekend, there's a little spotlight done on him. He's just a big football guy, likes to watch football games.

Speaker 1 That's awesome. Yeah, very cool.
39?

Speaker 4 39. He's been rolling around in a minivan.
He's put 50,000 miles on the minivan already. It was, I guess, the speedometer was started new this season.

Speaker 4 He plans on going to 60 games by the end of the season.

Speaker 1 I have a question.

Speaker 1 Is this a football guy? Because you could also just get like

Speaker 1 a ton of TVs and just watch all the games.

Speaker 6 Yeah, but you want to see the atmosphere. Okay, all right.

Speaker 1 Because we watch every game.

Speaker 6 This guy also...

Speaker 6 What must suck is I'm going to guess he's probably been to if he's been to 39 of them already already this is he's doing what, like three a week, something like that. Yeah.
Probably three football.

Speaker 6 So he's not, he's not even going to get drunk at these football games. He's just, he's completely sober the entire time.
Those are some long-ass Saturdays to not even get drunk. Yeah.

Speaker 6 If you're going to watch that much football and not have a beer in person at those stadiums, that's tough to do.

Speaker 1 That is tough to do.

Speaker 4 The mileage is insane, too. Yeah.
I mean, there's some stretches where he went coast to coast, like out from Wyoming to California. I mean, all sorts of long trucking distance, but 50,000 miles.

Speaker 4 So that'll be on the Twitter to vote on for your football guy who you think should win. And that's your nominees for week 10.

Speaker 1 Yeah. Okay, so good nominees.

Speaker 6 I love seeing at LSU

Speaker 6 when they stormed the field after the game.

Speaker 4 The one guy at the pylon.

Speaker 6 Well, no, I was saying that there was like an old lady in a wheelchair. that stormed the field.
That's awesome.

Speaker 6 She had like whoever was looking after her pushing her slowly onto the field to to help storm the field. It was awesome.
That is awesome.

Speaker 1 That game absolutely ruled the day.

Speaker 1 So turns out Malik Willis did have to pass in overtime. Didn't go well.
So he got sacked. Was that three straight sacks?

Speaker 6 On that third down, I don't think he was going to pass. He was back there for like 15 seconds.

Speaker 1 He just, it did not go well. So the Chiefs win.
Ugly game. They win.
Titans played their absolute balls off. And the Chiefs find a way to win an ugly game because Patrick McHolmes is that special.

Speaker 1 Was that a fair summation of the game?

Speaker 6 I think that's a fair summation. Also, NFL rigged.
NFL rigged. Just to cover it for the Titans fans out there.
Yes. And A.J.
Brown, or which Batman is he? Swole Batman?

Speaker 1 He would be the swole Batman.

Speaker 6 Swole Batman. Ain't nobody open.
Cryface, Cryface, CryFace, CryFace. Oh, damn.

Speaker 6 And then there's a GIF attached to it, which is, it says me, and then there's a guy with a phone just laughing at his tweet.

Speaker 1 So

Speaker 6 he's really enjoying that.

Speaker 1 Also, the Can't Lose Parlay cash for the second straight week.

Speaker 1 Not looking for credit, but people say that i suck that's two in a row that's two that's a winning streak hank it's a winning streak congratulations thanks and you're lossless in the picks competition this week oh okay yeah lossless is just cat is bad one cat might be bad okay yeah

Speaker 6 i i noticed that was a very specific way of loss

Speaker 1 lossless lossless without loss uh yeah i was impressed by the titans their defense is pretty awesome and turns out they kind of missed Ryan Tannehill.

Speaker 3 They have no fourth quarter options.

Speaker 1 This was good for Ryan Tannehill because he's like, this team could actually be, you know, their defense kept him in this game.

Speaker 1 Derrick Henry is a beast, but Malik Willis, young quarterback, when he has to pass, doesn't go so well.

Speaker 6 Yeah, so Malik Willis,

Speaker 6 where are we on the grading Malik Willis scale right now? Because

Speaker 6 I don't think he was ready to start. 1-1 is a start.
I don't think they wanted to start him.

Speaker 1 2-0 against the spread.

Speaker 6 That's pretty good. I like that.
I think he's in the category of

Speaker 6 somewhat tricky to game plan against because you don't know how bad he truly is. Yeah, right.

Speaker 1 Right.

Speaker 1 You can probably leave all the wide receivers open, but maybe once in a while you can't. Yep.
So

Speaker 1 that does add like an element of surprise.

Speaker 1 Okay.

Speaker 1 Let's finish up with who's back of the week.

Speaker 1 Who's back of the week? Henry. We will talk college football on Wednesday.
We're going long. It was a crazy weekend.
We'll also

Speaker 1 TCU

Speaker 1 Alligator Blood and LSU. I mean, LSU's all the fact that LSU can

Speaker 1 go to the college football playoff is so insane. It rocks.
It absolutely rocks.

Speaker 1 And Quick Summation, Georgia just reminded everyone they're Georgia and you're fucking not because they smushed Tennessee. Smushed them.

Speaker 1 That would be my recap of the game. Watched it.
Georgia smushed them.

Speaker 10 Smush it.

Speaker 3 My news back of the week. I have a couple.
The first one is LeBron lying for absolutely no reason whatsoever.

Speaker 1 Oh.

Speaker 3 Last week, tragically, takeoff from the Migos. He was a rapper.
He was shot in Houston, passed away.

Speaker 3 Everyone's been mourning him all week. LeBron today

Speaker 3 wore an outfit to the game that was an exact replica of an outfit that Takeoff had worn before. He posted a picture with like a side-by-side before the game.

Speaker 3 And then after the game, a reporter asked him about, you know, his post and about Takeoff. And he said, I love Migos.
I've been listening to them since I was in Miami in 2010.

Speaker 3 It's sad, yada, yada, yada. The Migos didn't start putting music out till 2011.
Oh.

Speaker 3 And they weren't really popular till 2013. Like, there's really no way that he was actually.

Speaker 1 He was listening to other stuff.

Speaker 6 Well, yeah, because you know, I've seen pictures and videos of LeBron in the studio with people listening to songs before they ever even come out.

Speaker 3 Oh, good point. A and R.

Speaker 6 Yeah. Yeah, he might have been in the studio with them.

Speaker 3 A whole year before anything came out? Maybe.

Speaker 1 A mixtape. I don't know why I'm defending LeBron.
I'm not. He just got caught.

Speaker 3 It's just a classic. It's up there.
You know, the Malcolm X, the Godfather.

Speaker 3 Just no reason to lie whatsoever. No reason.
He didn't have to do anything, and they just asked him about it. And he's like, Yeah, I've been listening to them since 2010.

Speaker 1 You could have just said,

Speaker 3 I'm a fan of them.

Speaker 1 Yeah,

Speaker 1 that's a fact.

Speaker 6 I would like to say I am a fan of them, too.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 6 Me too. I've been listening to them since 2008.

Speaker 1 2.16.

Speaker 3 Raindrop, drop, drop.

Speaker 3 My who's back is Twitter.

Speaker 6 Elon Musk. Two Who's Backs.
Okay.

Speaker 3 Yeah, I said that.

Speaker 6 I was just double-checking. I was just double-checking.

Speaker 1 So I have a couple.

Speaker 6 Who says twice as many as balls you've called correctly in the lottery machine?

Speaker 1 My other who's back? Did you work on it? I have not.

Speaker 6 Well, I guess that's infinity time.

Speaker 3 I'm pre-calling 17, just because I'm just going to say it.

Speaker 1 No, you can't. 69.
No, that's illegal. That's offsides.
That's illegal.

Speaker 1 If we're doing this for Billy, you are. That is illegal.

Speaker 4 I was going to tell you to take.

Speaker 1 All right. False start.

Speaker 6 But I don't get any lines because Hank jumped offside, so I just took a shot. That's what I just did there.

Speaker 3 My other who's back is Twitter. Elon Musk bought bought Twitter.
It seems like it's turning, it's going to be a complete disaster.

Speaker 6 He's suggesting changes.

Speaker 3 He says he's going to charge everyone $8 for verification. If you don't pay for verification, then he's going to shadow ban people's tweets, which he's basically like forcing people to

Speaker 3 get verified. I'll never do it.

Speaker 1 Isn't this the whole thing that everyone's like, I'm unshadow banned now because Elon bought Twitter?

Speaker 6 Yeah, nobody knows how much shadow banning was going on.

Speaker 1 I don't know. And now he's just shadow banning everyone?

Speaker 3 He fired a bunch of people and then they realized that they needed some of those people so they basically had to email them back and being like, hey, I know we let you go earlier.

Speaker 1 Do you think actually you can come back?

Speaker 1 Yeah,

Speaker 6 the only way that you can run a company like Twitter is if you don't care what everybody says about you. Unfortunately, Elon Musk cares very deeply what most people say about him.

Speaker 6 And he's getting feedback all the time from people online calling him an asshole.

Speaker 6 So if you run Twitter, basically you're in the worst position ever because people will use your product to insult you and tell you what they think your product should be.

Speaker 6 And then if you piss any of them off, then they'll yell at you more. Like Elon Musk just bought, basically bought a hornet's nest.

Speaker 6 And he keeps, he has to stick his finger inside that hornet's nest for his job. Right.
So it's, it's a tough situation for him. But it's also like, I do feel like we might be watching.
I don't know.

Speaker 6 Twitter's going to change a lot, I think, over the next couple months. Yeah.

Speaker 10 Notes apps on the hot seat. Do you guys see that?

Speaker 1 I did see that.

Speaker 10 Yeah. Elon's adding the ability to do long-form tweets.

Speaker 1 So I oh, that sucks.

Speaker 10 Ending absurdity of notepad screenshots.

Speaker 1 Yeah, it's bad. That sucks.
That's bad. And also, Twitter.
I don't want to read all that shit.

Speaker 6 Yeah, or sorry that happened for you. I'm happy for you, Elon.
But didn't they have Medium? Medium was exactly the same feature.

Speaker 1 Right?

Speaker 6 No, Medium was like a blog that was owned by Twitter.

Speaker 10 You guys remember when it was just 140?

Speaker 3 Twit longer.

Speaker 1 Oh, this sucks, dude. The whole point of being on Twitter is you don't have to read.

Speaker 3 It seems like

Speaker 3 he's going to fuck it up pretty good. Kind of excited to see how it unfolds.
A lot of the stuff, it's like, there's no way this happens.

Speaker 3 And then you realize he bought Twitter for $40 billion and he can do whatever he wants. Oh, yeah.
For better or for worse. And more than likely, for worse.

Speaker 1 You're kind of rooting for this because you know it would hurt us. I'm not rooting for it.
Yeah, you are. But you know what? Twitter actually is only

Speaker 1 Twitter is. It is.
It's a correct take.

Speaker 1 I was thinking about it because you're like, oh you guys are obsessed with twitter i wish you'd get into the other apps twitter is the sports app it is a sport it's the it's the place you talk about sports live the thing is like you can't have a conversation on any of the other apps like in the moment live just like talking about a game so that's why because i it did hit me and i was like why why am i more into twitter that it's the sports app it's the sports unfortunately it's also the politics app which i hate but it's the sports app so stop rooting against us

Speaker 3 i mean i don't care yeah I root for chaos.

Speaker 1 I root for chaos always. Hank is rooting for us to lose all of our followers.
You know what? You know what? That's not true.

Speaker 6 I'm going to sign up right now for a truth account. Yeah.
And then I'll show you.

Speaker 6 I'll have more retruths and truths than anyone.

Speaker 1 Also, Elon, I know he's an AWL, so I don't.

Speaker 1 Stop listening right now for a second, Elon.

Speaker 1 He could charge me anything. I'll pay.

Speaker 6 Okay, Elon, you're back. You'll pay for the blue check?

Speaker 1 Yeah, dude.

Speaker 1 It's where we talk about sports.

Speaker 1 Yeah, but I mean, if it's a blue check, that's what you're paying for.

Speaker 6 I think you can still stay on the app and not pay.

Speaker 1 But what about shadow bans?

Speaker 6 I think that's you're shadow banning. Anyone can be shadow banned at any time.

Speaker 1 I don't want to get shadow banned.

Speaker 6 I'm going to pivot, I think, to TikTok.

Speaker 6 I'm going to just write blogs and then, using my phone, just scroll down my blogs on TikTok. That'll just be words.
Nice.

Speaker 1 What are you going to say, Billy?

Speaker 4 For $100 for something we use almost every day once an hour.

Speaker 1 Correct. I mean, Photoshop is...
That's That's why I said I was going to, I would pay anything.

Speaker 1 But don't

Speaker 1 hold me to that, Elon.

Speaker 6 But the crazy thing is, like, Elon could also just, like, if he wanted to, he could destroy it. Which I would honestly, I would, I would respect if he bought something for $44 billion

Speaker 6 just to destroy it. Just to troll it.
That'd be maybe the best troll in the history of mankind. Yeah.
That would suck, though. Just nuke it.
Hank's rooting for it.

Speaker 6 PFC. My Who's Back.

Speaker 1 My Who's Back. My Who's Back.

Speaker 6 I caught you. I caught you.

Speaker 1 My Who's Back. I root for Chaos.

Speaker 1 Hank. At At our expense.
Okay, Hank.

Speaker 6 You know, you had your big company off-site meeting. That's Tuesday.

Speaker 6 What platform would you like us to switch over to?

Speaker 1 TikTok.

Speaker 1 No, I don't give a fuck. Yeah.

Speaker 3 Yeah, it sounds like. If I had to pick TikTok, YouTube.

Speaker 6 Now, Elon also said that

Speaker 6 he was going to pay content creators more than YouTube paid content creators.

Speaker 1 Be right about that.

Speaker 4 That was a joke.

Speaker 6 It would also be chaos if you if.

Speaker 3 No, yeah, he said he's also bringing monetization for content creators. So that I mean, I have I have a good amount of followers.
That'd be nice.

Speaker 6 If if Elon just started straight up paid people based on how many retweets they had, you would see some weird shit going on online.

Speaker 1 Definitely.

Speaker 1 I would just keep doing the hack wherever, whenever there's like an animal on the field and I just screen grab it and I say, if you don't retweet this, it's bad gambling law.

Speaker 1 I would just gets instant like 8,000 retweets.

Speaker 6 I would just instantly pretend that I'm a hot chick and be like, for every retweet, I'll take one piece of clothing off. Nice.

Speaker 3 I just think it's objectively funny watching something that you're lives.

Speaker 1 You're viewing.

Speaker 3 No, you're viewing from Elon. You're like, this makes no sense.
This is a dumb idea. There's no way this is going to get pushed through.

Speaker 1 And it's like, you said all that.

Speaker 6 He can, yeah, Will.

Speaker 3 He can do whatever he wants.

Speaker 1 He owns Twitter. Yeah, he does.
He can do whatever he wants.

Speaker 6 PFT year, who's back. My who's back of the week is coins.

Speaker 6 Coins are back. And I'm surprised Billy didn't bring this up when he was talking about the Jets because the MVP of the Jets season is actually a coin.
Well,

Speaker 6 it's a coin.

Speaker 1 Yeah, why didn't you tell us this?

Speaker 4 I blogged it and TikToked it, and it's check it out now.

Speaker 6 Check out Billy's TikTok on the coin, but I'm doing a podcast right now. My who's back of the week is the coin.

Speaker 1 50, what's the coin?

Speaker 6 Oh, good question, Big Cat. Thank you.
So this game.

Speaker 1 You don't want to jinx it. You're just keeping us away from winners.

Speaker 1 Do you know how hard we're about to bet on the Bears and the Steelers just because for some weird fucking reason, after you play the Panthers, you lose? And you're not going to tell us the coin bet?

Speaker 6 Yeah, so here's it, Big Cat. I'm glad that you brought that up because we do need to pay attention to the coin.

Speaker 6 At Nooner Nation, did a coin flick at the start of the season to predict every single Jets game possible? He had them going 11-6. They laughed at him, Big Cat.
Wow. They laughed at him.

Speaker 6 Week one versus Baltimore, called the loss. Cleveland, win.
Versus Cincinnati, week three, loss. Week four, at Pittsburgh, win.
Versus Miami, win.

Speaker 1 At Green Bay, win.

Speaker 6 At Denver, win. This is Francesco.
Versus New England, loss. Versus Buffalo, win.
Buy at New England, loss. Versus Chicago,

Speaker 6 etc. And it goes on.
It goes on. But

Speaker 6 the gist of it is, this coin is perfect.

Speaker 6 This coin has not lost a single prediction up to week nine.

Speaker 1 You know what? It's not going to happen, though.

Speaker 1 Remember last year when I went on red line radio and I did win-loss for every Bears game and I made it to week 13

Speaker 1 being correct. And Chuck, who works here, like pointed it out in week 12, and then it just lost.
Like the the fact that it's getting this publicity, it's an immediate.

Speaker 6 It started to get publicity already a couple weeks ago. So I've been hearing about it for a little bit.

Speaker 1 But I'm saying now that

Speaker 1 it's reaching, if it reaches enough eyeballs,

Speaker 1 it will crumble. That's just how it works.

Speaker 6 After they beat the Packers a couple weeks ago, that's when the coin got brought to my attention. And since then...

Speaker 1 Billy's been holding it out?

Speaker 6 Yeah, I think Billy has been holding it. They beat the Broncos,

Speaker 6 they lost to the Patriots, and they beat the Bills since then, all correctly predicted by the coin. Now, the coin has them winning the wild card,

Speaker 6 winning in the divisional round, and losing in the AFC Championship game.

Speaker 1 You'd take that, Billy.

Speaker 4 I would take that. Oh, wow.

Speaker 1 I'm Super Bowl.

Speaker 1 Do you think this coin, like Zach Wilson? Take it back. I'll give you five seconds to take it back.

Speaker 4 Well, the thing is, if the coin, the thing, what's great about you bringing it up, and if we jinx it, meaning next week it'll be raw.

Speaker 1 Yeah, you can win. Beat the Patriots.
Yeah, you're right. So you're in a good spot.

Speaker 4 That'd be pretty awesome. The thing is, we're doing some investigations.
Shout out Jack Mac.

Speaker 4 We think that this Twitter account may have posted several outcomes.

Speaker 1 Oh,

Speaker 1 and Jack Mac will find out. He's the best, best cave journalist, I know.

Speaker 4 Right. So we've been looking at that.
I blogged it, TikToked it, wasn't going to put a hard commit to it, but he may have posted several results and just brought it up when it was like 5-0.

Speaker 1 But we'll see.

Speaker 6 Now, why do you think that, Billy?

Speaker 4 Because

Speaker 4 if you look at that account, we're figuring out.

Speaker 1 Yeah,

Speaker 1 let him do it.

Speaker 6 I'm looking at that account. They're in Club 999.
So don't tamper with the evidence.

Speaker 1 No, there's nothing I like doing

Speaker 1 PFT. Let the investigation play out.

Speaker 6 I like the cut of this guy's jib, though.

Speaker 1 But let the investigation fall. You know, he's going to find out.

Speaker 4 If he's doing the coin thing, there's been several other stuff like this created before. I like the coin thing.
The coin hasn't been wrong yet.

Speaker 1 A lot of times.

Speaker 6 Do you know how many different things he'd have to write down, though, if he was doing different combinations?

Speaker 1 No, he's saying that he didn't reveal it till like week five. So it was already right halfway through.
No, but he only got week four.

Speaker 6 No, I get that.

Speaker 4 But if he tweeted in August, yeah, he tweeted once at the right time.

Speaker 1 Okay, well, let us know how it goes. Yeah, we're going to go.
Let us know how it goes. I am mad that you didn't tell us.

Speaker 6 And NYJ Mike correctly points out the coin flip even predicted the bye week. Wow.

Speaker 6 This coin, this coin is fucking legit. Yeah.

Speaker 4 Very legit. What did it say on the bye week?

Speaker 6 No, just had the bye week correctly scheduled.

Speaker 1 Yeah, bye week.

Speaker 6 And no win or loss.

Speaker 1 Yeah. Do they win the bye week? No, they didn't.
No, it's just the bye week. Yeah.

Speaker 6 Smart coin.

Speaker 1 All right. My who's back is the, oh my God, look at him.
He just, he just went, for people who are watching on the YouTube, go subscribe to the YouTube.

Speaker 1 Max, I said, I just said My Who's Back, and Max went like this.

Speaker 1 My Who's Back is the Houston Astros who won the World Series on Saturday nights.

Speaker 3 Oh, I thought you were going to say the Los Angeles Galaxy.

Speaker 1 No, no, no. Congratulations to the Houston Astros.
Incredible run. That team.

Speaker 6 You mean LAFC?

Speaker 1 Yeah. LAFC.

Speaker 6 Oh, it's not the Galaxy anymore. It's a different soccer team.
Yeah. LAFC, they won the MLS Cup.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 So the Houston Astros. Who they beat?

Speaker 1 Well,

Speaker 1 let me talk about it real quick. So the Houston Astros, incredible.
I want to give the Astros their credit because they were an insane team.

Speaker 1 Also, shout out all the fucking crybabies who were like, it's so unfair. The Dodgers got kicked out.

Speaker 1 The Astros were the the second best team all year behind the Dodgers, and they won the World Series. So it turns out MLB playoffs probably isn't needed, like a full overhaul.

Speaker 1 The Astros were incredible. They obviously had the no-hitter on Wednesday night after the Astros.
After the. How many hits did they get?

Speaker 6 The Phillies that night?

Speaker 1 Combined, no-hitters. Well, how many hits did they get?

Speaker 1 Combined no-hitters. But I just said they got a no-hitter.

Speaker 2 And I said there's an Astro.

Speaker 1 But I said they got a no-hitter, not any specific person. The Astros got a no-hitter.

Speaker 1 Is there an Astros set up? Did the Phillies?

Speaker 6 Did the Phillies get a hit?

Speaker 2 No.

Speaker 1 Okay.

Speaker 1 All right. So the Astros got a no-hitter.

Speaker 1 And it was incredible. Incredible run by the Astros.
That team is absolutely nails. Felt like every time they were

Speaker 1 even pushed a little bit, they answered even like they

Speaker 1 got dongs all over them on Tuesday night, and they're like, fuck that. We're throwing a no-hitter.

Speaker 3 Game five, they had the Phillies had the tying run on third base in the eighth inning.

Speaker 3 One out.

Speaker 3 Top of the order coming up.

Speaker 1 It was tough. I want to find this stat because the

Speaker 1 Astros closer, Ryan Presley, maybe the most ridiculous postseason ever. He had 11 innings pitched, four hits, zero earned runs, 13 Ks.
13 K's, zero earned runs, and 11 innings pitched.

Speaker 1 All like high-leverage, high-intensity moments. The Astros are really good.
Dusty Baker, happy for him. You saw the outpouring of love for him.

Speaker 1 Really, really, really good team. Did you see the wild stat, by the way, with Dusty Baker?

Speaker 10 Yes, his first game as a player,

Speaker 10 the opposing team, was Jeremy Pena's dad.

Speaker 1 Yes, and it's wild. Dusty Baker's managerial debut was

Speaker 1 April 6th, 1993, versus the Cardinals. The St.
Louis leadoff hitter was Geronimo Pena. That is Jeremy Pena's dad.
Pretty wild. That's wild.

Speaker 6 Also, I think this was from our guy, the ace of Spader, Ryan Spader. I think he tweeted out that

Speaker 6 of all the Major League Baseball games ever played, Dusty Baker has either played in or managed in 3% of them. Jesus.
Every game ever. That's insane.
That's a baseball lifer.

Speaker 1 And yeah, it was a nice moment.

Speaker 4 It was great.

Speaker 6 It was awesome to see Dusty.

Speaker 9 I think everybody roots for Dusty.

Speaker 1 Also, the first team to win the World Series at home since, I think, 2013. So it it was pretty crazy the scene in houston that your that home run was oh my gosh all-time postseason home run

Speaker 1 he just mashes things yeah when schwerber hit that home run it was like we were we were watching it in lexington and after the after keen land and we were like damn game seven sunday night this is gonna be crazy and then jordan like 10 minutes later hit one on the fucking moon what a beast so

Speaker 1 you're probably saying like well who do they play

Speaker 1 they played the philadelphia Phillies.

Speaker 1 Sad.

Speaker 1 Sad.

Speaker 1 You know what I'm really talking about?

Speaker 6 I'm really upset about the fact that

Speaker 6 we have to put to bed the narrative of Verlander not having any World Series wins. That sucks that he got his first one.
That was such a good thing.

Speaker 6 It was such a good narrative that we kept rolling with. And I was excited for that to like, you know, on his Hall of Fame inauguration day, for people to be like, yeah, but

Speaker 6 never won a World Series.

Speaker 1 But he was really good on Thursday, man. He was awesome on Thursday.

Speaker 1 In

Speaker 1 where's that game?

Speaker 6 That was at the bank?

Speaker 1 It's in Philly. Is that what we call it? The bank?

Speaker 14 Yes.

Speaker 1 Hank, Hank.

Speaker 1 Max, this is your welcome to the PMT where it's like, guess what? It's fun when you're winning, but people want to hear you lose.

Speaker 6 I looked it up, Hank, because that was an interesting question that you asked earlier.

Speaker 1 I learned that.

Speaker 6 It was LAFC. It looks like they actually tied for the MLS Cup.
They tied with Philadelphia. Oh.
So it was a tie. It was a 3-3 tie.

Speaker 1 But there was a shootout.

Speaker 6 Oh, yeah, 3-0 on penalties. So LAFC did win the LS Cup on penalty case.
What day was this? That was actually also yesterday. And then this thing just popped up at the bottom of the screen here.

Speaker 6 It says that Philadelphia is the first city to ever lose two major league sports championships in the same day.

Speaker 1 Oh, my God.

Speaker 10 Wow. Spin zone.
They had a guy. Okay, no.

Speaker 6 No.

Speaker 1 No, no, no. Can you interrupt me? Can you all get in there? Can you all interrupt yourself? No, I like this.
I like this. I want someone on my tie.
No. No, this is great.

Speaker 1 This is actually perfect, Max. He's soaking in Max's tears.

Speaker 6 Here comes Jake to try to make everything.

Speaker 6 But it's actually going to make it so much more.

Speaker 1 Spins on it. Spin zone it.

Speaker 10 They had a guy eat a full rotisserie chicken for 40 straight days. It went viral, and hundreds of people showed up in Philadelphia to watch him eat it.

Speaker 1 That's the spin zone?

Speaker 1 I do love the rotisserie chicken guy. Yeah, he is very funny.
I've seen that.

Speaker 2 The crowd that showed up for that was, I mean, just

Speaker 1 every day at noon, he was just like, I'm eating a full rotisserie chicken. That's the guy who rocks.

Speaker 1 love that guy.

Speaker 3 Fun stat about the LAFC games. I know we're big soccer guys.

Speaker 3 Philly actually scored in stoppage time, which I'm not a huge soccer guy, but I feel like there's not a ton of stoppage time.

Speaker 3 If you score in extra time, that's got to be like you, you know, the game's pretty much over.

Speaker 6 Wait, it was extra stoppage time. Well, there was extra time and stoppage time.

Speaker 3 It was stoppage time at the end of extra time. So, like, I mean, what is that?

Speaker 6 20 seconds? Wait, it was added time at the end of extra time.

Speaker 3 And then LAFC actually scored to tie the game in the 128th minute, which is the latest goal in MLS history.

Speaker 3 So in a lot of history, that's the biggest collapse in the history of soccer is how I kind of read that.

Speaker 6 That wins the first year, like 96, 97. So that is, I mean, that's a pretty decent.

Speaker 6 That's a long time.

Speaker 2 There were nine minutes of extra time, actually. Why are we talking about soccer?

Speaker 1 Why are we talking about soccer? Let's talk about the Phillies.

Speaker 3 Philadelphia in general is the first city to ever lose two major championships in one day.

Speaker 1 But But Hank, you said you were holding back saving for the show. So

Speaker 6 do you have any questions for Max?

Speaker 3 I mean, just how does it feel like as you know, you're a Philly guy through and through.

Speaker 1 Die Hard Union fan.

Speaker 2 Last night was tough. I'm happy we're talking about this today and not yesterday.

Speaker 1 Yeah, you are lucky that it wasn't a game seven and we could have just soaked in your tears immediately after.

Speaker 2 Were there tears? There were no tears. There were no tears, but like

Speaker 2 I was on the stream, for anyone who doesn't know, I was on the stream. It was me, Smitty, and

Speaker 2 Houston Astros diehard fan, Tico, Texas.

Speaker 1 Oh, that sounded like there was some sarcasm in that.

Speaker 2 That is, those are the words that came out of my mouth.

Speaker 1 Okay, all right.

Speaker 6 You call Smitty a diehard fan, though. You called Tico a Die Hard fan.

Speaker 2 Well, I thought maybe Smitty's been here for a long time. People know that Smitty's a diehard fan.

Speaker 2 Tico's new to the company. I wanted to.
Tico Texas.

Speaker 1 She's been in the Marshall world for a long time.

Speaker 2 Yeah, yeah, but she's a new full-time employee. Newer, full-time employee.

Speaker 1 A couple years.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 And

Speaker 2 she's very animated. Yeah.

Speaker 1 Very, very animated. She's the diehard.
She's passionate.

Speaker 2 She's very animated, very passionate. People would say you're pretty animated and passionate.
That I am. That I am.
That I am.

Speaker 1 You're a real diehard Phillies fan. So, I mean,

Speaker 1 you had to have known it was over after Thursday, right?

Speaker 2 Absolutely not.

Speaker 1 Oh, that makes it even worse.

Speaker 3 I mean, talk about the eighth inning of Thursday.

Speaker 2 DFT, did you think that the.

Speaker 6 Why are you asking me this?

Speaker 2 Because the last time the Astros

Speaker 2 wasn't the last time they were in the World Series, but the Nationals were down. Yeah.

Speaker 1 We're down 3-6. Yeah, that National Center.
The teams were down 3-1.

Speaker 2 And Cubs were also down.

Speaker 6 I thought it was against the Astros.

Speaker 6 That scene was different.

Speaker 3 Well, I thought this team was different.

Speaker 1 I thought this team was different.

Speaker 6 And it's...

Speaker 1 I tell you what, we would never, never getting it out of you.

Speaker 6 Have let Verlander get a win off us.

Speaker 1 You did think this scene was different. I am sad for the city of Philly.

Speaker 2 The saddest part,

Speaker 2 it was such a fun ride. I loved being in there with these guys day in and day out.

Speaker 2 And the saddest thing about it is that they're not a young team.

Speaker 1 Oh, how not young are they?

Speaker 2 I don't know. I don't know the numbers of it, but it was a team that was overachieving.

Speaker 2 The nucleus of the team are older guys

Speaker 1 on multiple con not multiple, whatever.

Speaker 2 Second or third contracts that aren't like these young and up-and-comers. So I don't know when we're going to be back there.

Speaker 2 And that's just like tough to see. That's like, it's one thing when you're winning with a bunch of your own prospects and it's just like, we're going to be back.
We're going to be back. It's like,

Speaker 2 I don't know when we're going to be back. And it's just like sad to see this group of guys lose.

Speaker 3 Tell me how you feel about this stat, Max.

Speaker 3 The Red Sox.

Speaker 1 You're not that old.

Speaker 3 The Red Sox have been to the World Series four times since 2004.

Speaker 3 They've lost three three games total. The Phillies were in the World Series just this one past year.

Speaker 1 They lost four games total.

Speaker 6 Thoughts. Wait, since what year? Wait, what?

Speaker 3 2004, the Red Sox have been.

Speaker 6 The Phillies were in the World Series in, what, 2008?

Speaker 3 Well, no, I'm saying, even if you just use this one year as an example. Okay.

Speaker 1 Can you...

Speaker 1 But you're not using your one year.

Speaker 2 I don't know what you're asking me here.

Speaker 3 The Red Sox have won four World Series and lost three games.

Speaker 3 The Phillies lost four games in one World Series.

Speaker 1 When are we talking about this? But differently, the Cubs

Speaker 1 have lost a total of three World Series games in the last

Speaker 1 50 years plus

Speaker 1 60 years, 70 years, maybe even?

Speaker 1 1945.

Speaker 1 The Phillies have lost four World Series games in the last week.

Speaker 6 Yeah. You know what's as crazy?

Speaker 1 It wasn't fun.

Speaker 6 The Nationals have never lost World Series game six.

Speaker 2 That's crazy.

Speaker 3 Do you think Dancing on My Will you carry that on to next year, or is that just kind of like

Speaker 1 put that on? Good question, Hank.

Speaker 2 Good question, Hank.

Speaker 2 It's definitely not a regular season song.

Speaker 2 Maybe.

Speaker 4 Oh, man. You're struggling.

Speaker 2 I'm struggling. Yes.
Yes.

Speaker 2 The answer that people are looking for is yes.

Speaker 1 I am struggling.

Speaker 9 I was very, very sad last night.

Speaker 2 And it was one of those things. I let my hair down.

Speaker 1 Literally. You look good.
You looked like mankind.

Speaker 2 I just went for a walk through the city after.

Speaker 2 The game ended. I sat there.
I took it in a little bit. I took in the Tico celebration with the confetti and the bottles popping.
And that was tough.

Speaker 1 And it makes you hungry for next year. I've had to experience that.
Yeah.

Speaker 2 And obviously, the easy answer is Eagles are 8-0.

Speaker 1 Blah, blah, blah, blah. But I'm not going to do that.

Speaker 2 I'm not going to do the easy answer is the Eagles are 8-0.

Speaker 1 Well, no, no, no. Let's not just do 8-No.
James Harden's playing like an MVP.

Speaker 2 I'm not going to do the easy answer that the Eagles are 8-0.

Speaker 1 What about Harden got hurt, Bitcap? He did? Wait, James Harden got hurt? I think he did.

Speaker 2 I'm not going to do the easy answer that the Eagles are 8-0.

Speaker 6 But wait, James Harden has a good track record of bouncing back from injury, right?

Speaker 1 Right.

Speaker 1 He's going to James Harden was playing at an MVP level. Right, for a week.
He was.

Speaker 1 A couple weeks.

Speaker 6 James Harden's going to play in like 10 games for the rest of the season.

Speaker 1 That's not true.

Speaker 2 He'll be back by Christmas when the NBA starts.

Speaker 6 Oh, yeah. He's going to...

Speaker 6 Over the Thanksgiving break, James Harden is going to remain committed to

Speaker 6 getting in shape and staying in shape for the season.

Speaker 1 James Harden's coming back at 300 pounds. No,

Speaker 1 this is a new guy.

Speaker 6 James Harden's going to be pictured in Santa Claus outfits.

Speaker 1 All right, well, I mean...

Speaker 1 I do feel bad. I was rooting for the Phillies.
I was rooting for the Phillies. I bet on the Phillies.

Speaker 1 And,

Speaker 1 yeah, it sucks, Max.

Speaker 3 Rotisserie Chicken, though.

Speaker 2 Rotisserie Chicken Guy does rock.

Speaker 1 Yeah, he does. Yeah, I love that pasta.
I love rotisserie chicken guy. Great stuff.
I do love rotisserie chicken guy.

Speaker 1 That's a fact. Love that guy.

Speaker 4 Props rotisserie chicken guy.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 Billy did say he was like, oh, I definitely ate 35 poundissery chickens in a row when I was at Gam. No, no, in January, in January 2021.

Speaker 1 Just let someone else do something.

Speaker 4 I know, but I just looked it up.

Speaker 1 You're LeBron.

Speaker 3 I did 20.

Speaker 4 I did 20 in the month of January.

Speaker 1 You looked it up?

Speaker 1 I looked it up. Yeah, it would show

Speaker 1 that's half as much.

Speaker 4 I know, that's impressive. I'm just saying.

Speaker 1 And you didn't have a crowd cheering you on. I know.
Let him have it. Let the rotisserie chicken chicken.
I'd like to check it out.

Speaker 3 Because you could not eat 40 rotisserie chickens in 40 days.

Speaker 1 I did 20 in the month of Christian. I'm just saying.
He couldn't do it.

Speaker 6 No, without a doubt, he could not.

Speaker 1 No, definitely not.

Speaker 4 Well, it's more.

Speaker 4 It's not the east, like just the consistency.

Speaker 1 Right, yeah, that's the easiest. Yeah, no, but you eat it.
No,

Speaker 1 you couldn't do the eating or the consistency.

Speaker 1 I think the part of the wax.

Speaker 6 I think he could do the eating, but

Speaker 6 he couldn't put it it all together.

Speaker 1 No, you couldn't do it. No, the risk.
It's okay to know that you can't do it. Yeah, no, I know.
So you're admitting you can't do it.

Speaker 4 You remember I was getting the full rotisseries for the fight?

Speaker 1 Not for 40 days.

Speaker 3 I thought we were splitting fulls.

Speaker 1 Yeah. No, it's after the fight.
But a full one? No way. Do props to him.

Speaker 6 No, that's what I'm saying. He's like, he's the eating and you never could.
That's why you're showing him more.

Speaker 1 He's a man. You're not.
You're a boy.

Speaker 4 I ate more rotisserie chickens than anybody in this room. Oh,

Speaker 1 here it is. Embrace the bait.

Speaker 8 Embrace the bait.

Speaker 1 And Justin Field's going to get injured.

Speaker 4 I was just posing questions.

Speaker 6 I'm just asking a question. Do you really think, given how much longer I've been on planet Earth than you have, do you think you've eaten more rotisserie chickens than me?

Speaker 4 Yeah, because you're like a vegan sometimes.

Speaker 6 When am I a vegan? You're just making stuff up.

Speaker 4 Dude, you definitely went like vegan one time in the 90s.

Speaker 1 What are you talking about? In the 90s?

Speaker 6 I was a 10.

Speaker 1 Before veganism admitted it existed? So, Billy, just so we're clear, you can't do it, right?

Speaker 4 It's insane that you did it 40 days in a row.

Speaker 1 So you cannot?

Speaker 4 I did a couple times.

Speaker 1 No, you didn't. You don't.

Speaker 1 Just answer the question: can you eat 40 chickens? You register your chickens in a row. It's days.
Can I? Yes. No.
I want to. No.
But you haven't, so you can't. Exactly.

Speaker 4 Who's back of the week?

Speaker 1 Wait, Max, scale of one to 10. Where is this in like heartbreak?

Speaker 1 Good question.

Speaker 2 Below the Kawhi shot, game seven, Kawhi shot. Okay.

Speaker 2 Above the Ben Simmons missed or passed where he could have the game seven against a Hall.

Speaker 3 What about the confetti game?

Speaker 2 That's, I mean, that's that's more you because you're sick and disgusting.

Speaker 1 What about

Speaker 1 I'm just trying to gauge. What about McNabb?

Speaker 2 Yeah, you just keep trying to bring it back to Boston.

Speaker 1 This has nothing to do with

Speaker 6 it. No, I mean, I think that was, I mean, that was a playoff loss, was it not?

Speaker 1 We're talking about Philadelphia playoff loss. How old are you, man?

Speaker 3 When they let off confetti on 27.

Speaker 2 People online are very shocked to hear.

Speaker 6 Do you you remember the McNabb game against? I guess it was against Hank's Patriots.

Speaker 1 But how old were you? You were like 60 years old.

Speaker 2 I was eight years old.

Speaker 1 Okay. We threw up.
So that doesn't. Yeah.

Speaker 2 I mean, I remember.

Speaker 1 I don't think you were eight.

Speaker 1 Way 18. 2004.

Speaker 9 Max, do you think? It was 2004.

Speaker 2 And I was born in 95. Later in 95.

Speaker 1 So, yes. Okay.
Do you think you're right? I can't do these. Whenever the Super Bowl, the years and everything, it always fucks me up.
Max, I think he's right.

Speaker 4 Do they think you're older or younger?

Speaker 1 Way older. Way older.
What was that question?

Speaker 1 Way older. You got people who are like, oh, dude, this guy who's a fucking bear of a man is 14.

Speaker 2 I think every single video that is posted of me, I think half of the comments are, I cannot believe that that is that voice. That man looks like he's 45 years old.

Speaker 6 When was the last time you got carted for beer?

Speaker 1 I was buying beer in high school.

Speaker 2 I was the designated beer guy for sure.

Speaker 1 Yes. All right, Billy, who's back?

Speaker 6 Let's wrap it up.

Speaker 4 Who's back of the week is Dimitri Baval. Yes.
Baval, he had a fight against Zerdo Ramirez. It was 12 rounds, and he pieced him up.

Speaker 6 That's a guy that eats a lot of rotisserie chicken as well.

Speaker 1 Yeah, he could eat 40 in a row.

Speaker 4 Yeah, 100%.

Speaker 4 So he beat the shit out of him.

Speaker 4 Baval's a close friend of mine beat Canelo and basically did to this much larger Mexican guy what Canelo wanted to do to Baval, which was outbox a larger opponent and look sick doing it.

Speaker 4 And Baval did exactly that to Zerdo Ramirez.

Speaker 6 Nice. So is he

Speaker 1 how

Speaker 6 far away from talking about

Speaker 1 Baval are we?

Speaker 4 I think Baval might end up being one of the best pound-for-pound fighters in the world, maybe even of all time.

Speaker 1 Okay.

Speaker 6 Let's just throw the word of all time out there. Yeah.

Speaker 6 You can do that with boxers.

Speaker 6 If you defend your title twice in a row, you can start having that discussion.

Speaker 4 He probably needs to fight Better BEV, and that's the big fight.

Speaker 4 But honestly, for his legacy, which he deserves, I think he needs to fight Canelo again at 168, get some belts from it, see where that goes.

Speaker 4 But the thing is, like, Bavalj is such a nice guy and not such a flamboyant character.

Speaker 4 I don't think he's ever going to get the media attention he deserves for how good of a boxer he is and, like, acclaim. So, I'm just here to pump up my boy Bavalje.

Speaker 1 I like it. I like it.

Speaker 6 He deserves it.

Speaker 1 You're being a good friend.

Speaker 4 By the way, I gave the pick 12 rounds by decision, win by points. Got it.
Gave it to you during Fantasy Fuck Boys. If you didn't take it, I said it was free money and it was free money.

Speaker 6 So.

Speaker 1 Thank you, Billy.

Speaker 6 Jake, Billy was right.

Speaker 10 My who's back is college basketball.

Speaker 1 Well, not about Sam Ellen.

Speaker 6 So

Speaker 6 I was going to do college basketball just to just watch you sweat a little bit, Jake. No, it's fine.

Speaker 6 I knew it was coming. Yeah.

Speaker 10 So it's opening day today. Yep.
We've got hundreds of games this week, including the Barcelona Sports Invitational Friday and Philly.

Speaker 1 Buy tickets. Yeah.

Speaker 10 The first game in the whole country to tip off the whole season will be recurring guests, Scott Drew, and Baylor against Mississippi Valley State at noon.

Speaker 1 Whoa. Day games.
All right. Got it.

Speaker 10 A lot of people were asking if I'm doing bracketology again. I'm retired.

Speaker 1 Oh, why?

Speaker 10 I don't know. It was a lot of work and it didn't get that many clicks.

Speaker 1 I think you just got to throw one out then. Just throw one out

Speaker 10 of the year. Wisconsin, last four in.

Speaker 1 Nice.

Speaker 10 Full me once, shame on you. Full me twice, shame on me.
It wasn't fun.

Speaker 1 But really, last four in? That was a very funny way of saying I'm sorry. Wait, no, no.
Do one bracket to start. All right.
Yeah. I'll look into it.
Is Wisconsin in?

Speaker 10 Yeah, I i just said last word but when you actually do your bracket yeah i mean like unless they lose by the time i put it out

Speaker 1 um

Speaker 10 yeah so uh get your tickets barstool dot link slash invitational also a bonus who's back billy's wallet no fucking way stop billy stop came in

Speaker 10 stop called me he's like i'm locked out

Speaker 10 called me like six hours later he went downstairs Said he's locked out so I can let him in the office. I walk in the studio.
It was just sitting right in in his seat.

Speaker 1 No fucking way. Stop.
Stop. You found my wallet? No, what the fuck? No, no.

Speaker 1 What are you looking at the inside?

Speaker 1 Oh, nice. I still have no cash.

Speaker 4 No, I still have my lucky $2 bill.

Speaker 1 I've been looking for this since Thursday.

Speaker 10 It was in plain sight right where you said.

Speaker 1 No, it's impossible. Someone must have just put it there because I'm not.
Somebody broke into the office and put his wallet backwards. Someone's fucking with you.
No, no, no.

Speaker 1 This is a great peek into Billy's mind. It's like, no, it's always fucking.

Speaker 4 Dude, on Thursday, I got into the office. Then I thought, I realized that it must be in the building because there's no way I would have gotten into the office without my wallet.

Speaker 4 I was looking for it Thursday night. I tore apart the rundown chair with a knife to get inside of it.

Speaker 1 That was reasonable. That was reasonable.
Like a normal reaction.

Speaker 4 And I looked all over this couch.

Speaker 1 You smoked a bunch of weed and broke your nail in the other studio? No.

Speaker 6 My fake nails.

Speaker 1 No.

Speaker 4 But I've been looking, like, I actually broke tons of shit on my desk trying to find my wallet. Thank you guys so much for whoever found it.

Speaker 1 I walked in. I was like, oh, there's just a wallet here.
Someone's fucking with you, Billy.

Speaker 1 No, no one's...

Speaker 4 Someone definitely found it and put it there to like

Speaker 4 make sure it got back to me.

Speaker 1 Thank you for whoever did it.

Speaker 4 I'm indebted. This is just

Speaker 3 someone found it, and instead of being like, hey, Billy, I found your wallet, they said, let me just go put it on. the studio and not your desk.

Speaker 1 It also like the couch you sit on the most.

Speaker 4 Right. So throughout the week? No, but what? It was right here on the couch?

Speaker 1 Yeah, literally right here.

Speaker 6 Can you do a reenactment of it?

Speaker 1 Jake, place the wallet where you found it.

Speaker 6 Wait, wait, Billy.

Speaker 1 Let Jake show you where he found it.

Speaker 6 Dramatic reenactment.

Speaker 4 This is, no, the thing is, I literally flipped over this couch on Thursday looking for this.

Speaker 1 Okay.

Speaker 4 Like, I flipped over the couch, so it couldn't have been on top of the couch.

Speaker 6 Maybe in all your flipping over the couch, it threw the wallet right back where it should be in the first place.

Speaker 4 But someone must have just put thank you forever found it.

Speaker 6 I literally flipped the couch over. Okay.

Speaker 4 So it was impossible if it was there on Thursday.

Speaker 1 Okay, well, good job. Thank you so much, Jake.

Speaker 4 That's actually huge.

Speaker 6 Oh, there's a hug. That's so sweet.
Nice.

Speaker 1 Beautiful. Oh, my God.

Speaker 6 Our boys are getting along so well.

Speaker 1 All right. Numbers.

Speaker 6 17. Jake, thank you.

Speaker 1 No, you don't. No.
6'9. You have to let everyone go.
Dude, thank you so much. You don't get the number.
I'm taking 17. You did a false start.

Speaker 1 We made the rule for Billy. It has to be applied to the business.

Speaker 4 Just know and pick 17 because today's 11-6.

Speaker 1 Yeah, so I'm going to take 17. No, no, no.
You can't take 17. I just did.

Speaker 4 That's too mean. Just let him have 17.

Speaker 1 Do you want 69, Hank? Nah.

Speaker 1 69. Yeah.
No, I already said 69.

Speaker 6 I already said 69. No, you just offered it to Hank.
Yeah, but implying that 69. Yeah, they was up for grabs.

Speaker 1 No, Jake has 69. Jake has 69.
Yeah. Jake, can I have 69 back? No.

Speaker 1 Nope. I'm going to go with 80.

Speaker 1 Wow, Hank, I would feel really bad. What's the official law? I am officially offering 17 to Hank.
No, but let me know.

Speaker 3 I'm not doing this.

Speaker 1 I'm not doing this.

Speaker 1 Do you want 17? I wanted it when I said it.

Speaker 6 So then take it.

Speaker 1 I couldn't. I'm giving it to you.

Speaker 3 So I get 17 and 84.

Speaker 1 No, no, you get 17. If you want 17, you get 17.

Speaker 1 No, I want it. I'm 84.

Speaker 3 I'm committed.

Speaker 1 Oh, my God.
